Kingdom Of Rust

The inane chatter of hundreds of voices dragged Haji from sleep. Blinking slowly he tried to turn only to find Solomon wrapped tightly around him. The blonds' nose was pressed into his neck even as slender fingers gripped Haji's nightshirt, one long leg was thrown around his while the other had somehow ended up beneath him. Smiling softly at the sight Haji ran one hand through Solomon's fringe careful not to wake his mate with even the slightest touch.

Solomon snuffled at the move and squirmed even closer, grinning openly now Haji bent and blew softly against the other's nose. Solomon made a distressed sound and shook his head trying to rid himself of the disturbance before blinking sleepily.

"Raven?"

Haji twisted sending them both rolling, before capturing Solomon's wrists and pinning his mate beneath him. Gazing into surprised blue eyes he bent and captured the other's lips with his own. It was the first time he had ever initiated a kiss with Solomon and the shock of hunger that ripped through him would have startled him if he had been paying the slightest attention to it. Instead he was focused on soft, rose pink lips opening obediently beneath his and the small moan from Solomon that had him growling in response. The soft brush of Solomon's tongue against his lips seemed an invitation and Haji was nothing if not a gentleman. Wrapping his tongue around one of Solomon's delicate fangs he sucked and had he not been heavier than the other man Solomon would probably have bucked him off as he arched violently beneath him. Snarling Haji pressed Solomon's wrists harder against the bed as long legs came up to bracket his hips. Dragging his lips away from the temptation that was his mate's he laved his tongue along the long line of Solomon's throat before latching on, every instinct screaming for him to Bite, Drink and Claim, even as Solomon's mewls of pleasure drove him on.

Freeing one hand he roamed along the other's body before cupping the swollen member blatantly obvious beneath Solomon's sleeping pants.

"Haji!" Solomon whimpered writhing beneath his touch

Sinking his teeth into his mate's flesh he smirked at the cries even as the involuntary jerks of Solomon's hips drew his attention to the dampness that permeated Solomon's clothing. Haji purred at the familiar metallic taste of blood and the underlying sweetness that his mind had labelled simply as Solomon. Raising his head from the wound he sought out the others lips again "Mine!" he growled as Solomon shook beneath him.

"Yours I swear it!" was the whispered response and Haji grinned even as he settled back against the other. Solomon was his as much as he was Solomon's and not even an old allegiance to Saya could break that, Diva's mechanizations had seen to it and in a way Haji supposed he should be thankful.
