Matthew untied Ivan's limbs starting at his feet. He took some lotion and gently massaged it into his lover's feet and ankles. He moved up his calves, thighs and then to his abused buttocks. Ivan hissed in pain and Matt winced, and proceeded more gently. He rubbed Ivan's lower back then moved to untie his wrists, kissing each as they were freed. He gently rubbed feeling back into the other man's fingers, wincing again, he hadn't meant to tie so tightly.

Ivan smiled up at Matt, somewhat dazed. Matt rubbed his lover's arms and then worked on his shoulders before picking the slightly larger man up and carrying him to their bed. He gently kissed Ivan's lips, stroking his hair away from his face. Ivan's eyes opened and he smiled, unguarded.
