They say that love is supposed to burn, supposed to consume the soul like a raging forest fire.

But, what you have with him is nothing like that. Your love is calm, comforting. Large arms wrap around your frame and you are soothed and at ease. He nuzzles your neck and his breath tickles your ear, you fall asleep and dream of the jungle.

-

Teeth nip at your throat and you arch your back and the point is reached. There is no doubt that this love. You don't have to be desperate whenever Beck leaves you whenever he's off on a job and you're left to fend for yourself (which you're pretty good at) and there's no one around to... relieve you. Well, no one who can do as good a job as Beck on his worst day. But, you've learned to deal with it and have no complaints.

You suppose that that's true on some level. Beck walks through the door and you can only smile and lick your lips in anticipation.

"Hey, big boy," you say from your spot on the couch. You never see him as he comes up behind you and trails calloused yet soft fingertips along your jaw line.

"Travis," his voice is husky and your name has never sounded so good. His lips are at your ear and his hands have moved lower, fingering the waistband of your jeans and you hate how he's teasing you. "You been good while I was gone?" he asks, accenting the question with a playful bite on your neck.

"Of course not," is your textbook answer. You grab one of his hands and guide it to your crotch, you've been starved for Beck's touch and the sex-addict in you won't be able to hold out for much longer.

They say that love is supposed to burn, supposed to consume the soul like a raging forest fire.

You suppose now that those fellows knew what they were talking about because it does burn. Burns so bad that you can barely stand it. But then your eyelids flutter open and you see his sleeping face and you can't help but smile.

Yeah, love burns. But in a good way. And so long as you're allowed to stay at Beck's side, nothing else matters.
