The tension didn't ease away so much as Ric gave it up, all at once.
He didn't just let himself be pulled in against Elijah; he stepped into him, and settled his free hand on Elijah's hip in a solid, warm grip. He met the kiss and contact between them with a very soft shudder and slightly increased heart-rate that was all about the press of bodies between them, and nipped lightly at Elijah's lower lip, before angling his head just right to be able to deepen the kiss properly on his end. Still a certain kind of tension there, but less about fear of having his neck broken and more about working his way through... this.
He got acquainted with the way Elijah's body felt pressed against him, the temperature, texture and taste of his mouth. There was a sort of whole hearted focus in it, that wasn't sloppy or lazy or distracted. Like once he'd committed, and realized that he was enjoying this, he was going to do it completely and right. And once he had that? It was all about his desire to make Elijah focus on him, and doing his best to drive anything else out of Elijah's head.
