Seth weaved through traffic, glancing up at his rearview as he headed to his hotel. Turning his gaze back to the street, he frowned as his phone rang. Pressing the bluetooth button, he waited until he heard Chris' voice come through the trucks speakers. "You do know I'm in traffic, right?"

"What the fuck is taking you so long? You're plane landed almost an hour ago."

Seth grinned as he glanced at his side mirror, signaling to turn. "Honey, I'm on my way. You know how traffic is during rush hour."

"Well, if your ass had taken the earlier flight..."

"Don't start with that Chris, I told you why I was taking the later flight. There was something I had to take care of first." Seth didn't mention he'd had to help Dean with some Club business. Shaking his head, he sighed as the hotel came into view. "Look, I'll be there in about five minutes. Gonna tell me what room you're in?"

"Not until your ass is here and parked at the hotel. I don't believe..."

"Damnit Chris what fucking room are you in, I'm pulling up now." Sucking in a quick breath, Seth struggled to control his temper. He knew Chris was still working on trusting him and it didn't help that his duties at the Club were changing...becoming more demanding. "I'm sorry honey, ok I am. Look, I'm pulling into the parking garage now." He took the ticket from the valet and headed to his parking space. "Will you tell me what room you're in now, please?"

"1608."

Seth groaned as Chris hung up the phone. "Fucking hell!" He slammed his hand against the steering wheel, knowing Chris was probably pissed off at him. Running a hand through is hair, he glanced down at his phone as it sounded with an alert. Opening the door, he got out of the truck and headed towards the bank of elevators, reading the message as he adjusted his bags with his other hand.

Are you coming up or...

I'm on my way up, are you upset?

No...

Seth let out a rough sigh. "Liar." He whispered as he pressed the button for the elevator. He knew Chris was upset, after seven years together he could tell Chris' moods better than anyone.

Don't be upset...please Chris not tonight.

I'm not upset just hurry your ass up Seth.

Stepping off the elevator, Seth frowned as he looked up at the numbers on the doors. Walking down the hall, he stopped in front of the door to Chris' room. "Why is the fucking door..."

"Seth?"

Seth pushed the door open and walked in, eyes scanning the front room as he looked for Chris. "Chris, why in the hell was the door fucking open? You know that's dangerous, right? You're Chris...fucking...Wh-what the...jesus honey, well hello to you too." Seth stopped in the doorway of the bedroom, eyes on the man lying naked in the middle of the bed. Dropping his bags, he slowly walked over, dark gaze moving over the glistening, tan body. "This is why you wanted me to hurry up." He watched as a flush bloomed over Chris' skin. "A surprise?"

Chris grinned as he watched Seth, his eyes were dilated and his breathing choppy. "Anniversary present." He watched as Seth pulled his shirt up and off, excitement thrumming along his nerves."Seth, hurry up."

Seth paused, his gaze moving over the flushed man in front of him. "What's the big hurry sparkle crotch? Something going on?" He watched as Chris' eyes glanced over at the night stand and grinned. "You've got..."

"Yes and I've been waiting for almost an hour on setting four. So for the love of..." Chris broke off with a groan as Seth raised the setting on the vibe. "Seth, haha, y-you fucking idi...jesus Seth please!" Chris arched, hips thrusting against the bed in desperation. "B-bastard, you know..."

Seth grinned at Chris as he watched him move. "Fuck that, I'm going to enjoy this. You've been waiting an hour you can't wait longer?" Seth ran a hand across Chris' stomach, eyes narrowing as the muscles flexed from his touch. "I've really missed you, the past month has been hell without you."

Chris shivered, head dropping back against the pillows as he listened to Seth's voice. They had two days before he left the country on tour, RAW and Smackdown following the week after. "Seth, please, w-we don't..." Chris arched as Seth moved over him, groaning at the feel of Seth's jeans against his over sensitive skin. Wrapping his legs around Seth's waist, Chris panted as pleasure raced along his nerves. "S-seth your jeans..."

"You can mess them up honey, it's fine, you know it is." Seth had a hand on Chris' hip, fingers curved into the pale skin as he fought to keep control. He watched Chris' face, a rush of pride making him press down. At Chris' moan, Seth felt his control snap. "If you're sure..."

"I'm sure, I'm sure, jesus Seth I'm so fucking sure." Chris panted as he pulled him down for a kiss. "Fuck me, right now or I swear..." He arched as Seth pressed on the base of the vibrator, moving it up as it slid deeper. "N-no, Seth please, ngh, fuck! Idiot not like...oh god...Seth please."

Seth felt a shiver race across his shoulders at the sound of Chris' voice. "Yeah, let's get rid of this so I can go home." Seth gripped the base of the plug and pulled, lifting up to watch as it slid from Chris' body. "I swear I'll never get enough of you."

Chris let out a gasping laugh as he looked at Seth with heavy lidded eyes. "Enough of what, my ass or me?" He groaned when the plug finally slid free, only to be replaced with Seth, hot and hard between his thighs. Moaning in relief, Chris pulled Seth closer, "It's about time." He titled his hips up, gasping as Seth slid deeper. "Honey..."

Seth grinned at Chris, leaning over him as he slid into him. "Hey, you're the one who wanted to start before I got here." Eyes sliding close, Seth sighed when he was finally, fully inside Chris. "God I've missed you." Sliding a hand down Chris' side and to the small of his back, Seth pressed up forcing Chris' hips down. Pulling back, he adjusted his position so he could see Chris' face. He wanted to make sure Chris enjoyed himself tonight. "Tell me what you want sweetheart."

Chris panted as he desperately tried to hold on. Seth was right, if he had waited... "H-hurry up Seth, god please, w-we have time later." He tightened around Seth, jaw clenching around the sound that rose in his throat. He's missed Seth as well, for more than just the sex but right now that was Chris' primary focus.

"Not yet honey, you know how this goes. Special night, special circumstances." Seth panted as he moved slowly. It would drive Chris wild to have to wait but he would do it. Leaning forward, Seth pressed a ring of kisses across Chris' neck and collar bone. "Let me claim you Chris, in the Rites of Possession, let me take you before the Circle of Fireflies." He knew Chris wouldn't understand, that he was to far gone to even comprehend what Seth was saying right now. But later...when they both had the chance to catch their breath he would explain. For now, he couldn't resist the hard, hot body beneath him. Pressing his hips against Chris', Seth fought back a groan as the tight hole clenched around him. "No, sparkle crotch, need you on top." Seth flipped them, hissing at the feel of sliding deeper into Chris.

Chis shivered as he adjusted his position, rocking back and forth against Seth. Swallowing back a moan, Chris sat up, running a shaky hand through his hair. Seth always wanted him to put on a show, to enjoy himself. "Seth..." Chris panted as Seth's hands moved over him, teasingly gentle touches that were making Chris squirm.

"Move that ass honey, let me see the gift of Jericho." Seth watched as Chris flushed, his hands shaky as he leaned forward. "I will always love that face." He whispered, watching as Chris let himself go. Blond head thrown back in pleasure, mouth forming a small O as he felt Seth press up. "That's it Chris, look at you, christ, it was worth being late."

Chris raised up on his knees, rocking back and forth as he rode Seth. He tried to focus on what Seth was saying until a brush to his prostate sent him doubling over. "B-bast...Seth, w-wait, not..." Chris arched back, a groan echoing around the room. Looking at him from beneath his lashes, Chris felt a rush of pride at the sound that left Seth. "Want to be an asshole? I'll make you pay for it."

Nothing else was said between the pair other than the occasional word of praise or a plea. Not until Chris stiffened, hips losing their rhythm as Seth thrust up harder.

"Y-you still punishing me?" Seth panted as his grip on Chris' hips tightened.

Shaking his head, Chris let out a soft moan as he leaned back. Running a hand through his hair, Chris shivered. "N-not punishment." He couldn't help sliding a hand across his stomach as Seth wrapped a hand around his cock. "Y-you're gonna make me..."

"I know, jesus, I know and that's fine." Planting his feet, Seth thrust up harder, holding Chris in place. "Come on sweetheart, you know you want to mess me up."

Chris took a shivery breath as his hips ground down. "Seth, I-I'm going to..."

"That's it sweetheart, cum all over me. You know you want to mark me, make me smell just like you." Seth grinned at the broken sound Chris tried to hide. From the first time it happened, Seth made sure every anniversary Chris repeated the ritual. "Come on sparkle crotch, cum all over me, give me the gift of Jericho." Seth watched as Chris fell apart, matching the pace he set, Seth let Chris have his way.

Chris gasped as he came in Seth's hand, hips grinding down as he cried out in pleasure. Looking down at Seth, Chris couldn't help the sense of ownership that shot through him, watching with heavy eyes as he came across Seth's stomach, hand, and chest.

Seth held the dilated gaze, watching him as he took a shaky breath. "Ok?" At the small nod, Seth let out a soft groan and pressed up twice before cumming inside Chris.

Dropping forward, Chris gave Seth a small kiss on the cheek. "Next time be on time." At Seth's soft huff, Chris lifted his head, groaning with the effort. "Shower?" He idly ran a hand across Seth's stomach and chest, spreading the milky liquid across the tan skin.

"Not yet, we can in a few. Feel like holding you for a while then going again. It's our anniversary and I want to enjoy it." Seth ran a hand across Chris' back. "Glad I could make it, was really worried about missing you guys."

Chris sighed as he moved from Seth's chest to his side. "I would have waited, especially for you." Eyes drifting close, Chris wrapped an arm around Seth's waist. "After seven years, I'd wait for you another seven."

Seth pulled Chris close to him, throat tight with words he wanted to say but held back. "Only seven more, what if I want longer? Think you'd be up for that?"

Chris lifted his head as a frown started to curve his lips down. "What do you mean by that?" Heart racing, he watched as Seth flushed, his dark gaze turned away from him. "Seth, what..."

"Ok so The Rites of Possession are kind of like a wedding ceremony. It's something that Shane was telling me about and I was thinking..."

Eyes widening in surprise, Chris looked at Seth. "After sex you propose?"

"Well it's not exactly my fault you were naked in bed now is it? I told you I had something I wanted to ask you." Seth grinned as he pulled Chris back towards him. "We'll talk about it more later, just know I'm not taking no for an answer. After seven years and everything we've gone through I kinda like the idea of making you mine for life."

Chris grinned down at Seth before leaning forward to kiss him. "Yeah, well I guess we can talk about it more later." Chris tried to hide the happy grin curving his lips but knew Seth could tell.

"You like that idea." Arm tightening around Chris' waist, Seth sighed. "Good because I wanted to do this a year ago but we weren't together then."

Nodding, Chris sighed as his eyes slowly closed. "We are now." Tightening his hold on Seth, Chris relaxed as sleep slowly claimed him. "Love you Seth."

Seth grinned, pleased with Chris' reaction to his plans. "Love you too Chris, always..."

"And forever..."
