Chapter IX
Joey slid slowly down the bamboo fence as Darren released him from his mouth. His cheeks were flushed red and his body was coated in a fine sheen of sweat that had nothing to do with the steam or the heat of the spring.
As the prince helped the panting youth sit back down on the stone bench, he smiled at how blissful Joey's face looked just now. Slowly, he leaned in and kissed his young lover, letting the boy taste lingering traces of his own spend on Darren's tongue.
"That was... That was..." Joey found that he just couldn't find the words to describe the most powerful orgasm he'd ever had.
Darren merely smiled and held the youth gently. "That it was," he agreed. "And you taste wonderful, like honey."
After a few moments, Joey looked up at the prince with a gentle blush on his cheeks, not sure how to ask the question in his head. "Do... Do you want me to... return the favor?" he asked shyly.
Darren looked down at his young lover. "This was about your pleasure not mine, Joey. You don't have to do anything with me you don't feel ready for."
"But I want to make you feel good too. I really do. And I can see just how hard you are through your towel," he said as he purposely shifted a bit on Darren's lap, making the Atlantean groan in both discomfort and pleasure.
"Alright, alright," he ceded. "But let's go back to our room for that. If we stay in the water too long, we could both get heat exhaustion or worse," he said as he set Joey off his lap to stand and make sure his towel was still secure.
Joey stood to join Darren, but his legs were still shaky from a few moments earlier. Chuckling softly, Darren scooped him into his arms and carried him back into the inn.
Yami and Yugi were waiting just inside the spring entrance, a few of the others standing around as well. Yugi smiled at the well pleased and slightly embarrassed look on Joey's face.
"Did you guys hear any of that?" Joey asked with a gulp.
"Hear what?" Yami said in a calm tone. They of course had all heard the blond's blissful cry a few minutes ago, but the ancient pharaoh knew that such an admission would only embarrass his young friend. And to embarrass Joey might cost him a chance to make love to his hikari later; that was never something Yami was willing to risk.
With a grateful nod to Yami, Darren carried Joey back to their room before anyone else could speak up.
Setting Joey on his feet in their room, the prince slid the door closed and set the deadbolt he'd had installed in all the guest rooms to give customers some privacy. Most inns with sliding doors of the classic Japanese style didn't lock, so he'd made sure his did.
"Are you sure you want this Joey?" he asked again. While he would dearly love to see his young lover between his legs, he knew how nervous one could get their first time.
"Darren, I want to do this with you," Joey said, getting a stern look on his face. "I know things have been a bit crazy and hard for me lately, but I know I want this." A nervous, yet playful grin slowly formed on his face. "Besides, I really wanna know where the snake tattoo ends."
Daren couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Alright, alright. I just wanted to make sure you were certain." He strode over to the futons in the middle of the room and settled down onto one, stretching out his long frame while keeping his towel secure around his hips."We'll take this at your pace. I'm just going to lay here and let you explore."
Joey bit his lip a bit. He'd been expecting Darren to just strip and have him return the favor, but then he remembered that Darren wasn't that sort of guy.
Breathing a slight sigh of relief, he walked over to his lover and knelt beside him. How could anyone look as sexy as Darren did just now with his arms tucked behind his head and a look of contentment on his face? Joey leaned over and stretched himself out along the prince's body, slowly lowering his lips to graze over the Atlantean's jaw line. He picked up traces of the minerals from the spring mixed with Darren's naturally masculine taste.
God, he tasted so good, Joey had definitely not been doing himself any favors by waiting so long to do this. His lips ghosted down over the prince's collarbone that he nibbled a little before moving down to those wonderfully hard pecs that he loved to press against whenever Darren kissed him.
He flicked his tongue against one of Darren's nipples, trying his best to imitate what the prince had done to him. But since his older lover didn't have a nipple ring, he merely attacked the nipple itself.
Darren actually moaned out as Joey teased his flesh. The boy was a quick study, he had to give him that. With his teasing flicks of his pierced tongue and little nips of his teeth as he moved further south, the blond youth had the ten thousand-year old prince quivering in pleasure.
Finally, Joey reached Darren's navel, and the start of that taunting tattoo. He slid out his tongue and drug it down the visible length of the tattoo to the towel's edge. Pausing there, Joey took a deep breath and untied the towel, firmly aware of the massive tent in the cloth that showed how much his affections were being enjoyed. It was now or never as Joey pulled aside the towel to let the hidden erection spring free and he was greeted with a sight more glorious than he'd ever dared imagining.
Darren's cock was huge in every sense of the word. Long and thick, with a large, heavy sac dangling below. His cock seemed to bob a little with the prince's every heartbeat, as if begging for attention. That tattoo that had so allured Joey was quite a long one indeed. It ran from Darren's navel down to his groin where it slithered around behind those heavy balls and back out on the other side to coil its way around his cock. It finally ended just before the cock head with a flared mouth and fangs.
But even more alluring than the impressive tattoo was the Prince Albert ring piercing that ran out of the slit of his cock to just behind the edge of the crown where shaft and head met. "Wow..." was all the boy could think to say at the sight of such an intricately decorated cock.
Looking back up at Darren's face for a second, Joey smiled before sliding out his tongue to flick it against that ring. He was careful of course, to not get his tongue stud near the ring, lest it get caught. That would be a most awkward thing to call out help for. As his honey gaze caught Darren's teal one, he ran his tongue up along the underside of that thick shaft before starting to take it into his mouth. Slowly, he took as much as he could into his mouth without gagging and wrapped his hand around what he couldn't fit. Then he began moving his head along that cock, feeling every pulse of Darren's heart against his tongue.
Darren could barely breathe as Joey began to pleasure him. He'd honestly never thought he'd live to see this day, was worried that Kaiba would always come between them. But now it was, and he was fighting to let Joey take this at his own pace. It was all he could do not to reach down and hold Joey's head in place so he good thrust up into that hot mouth.
But with the pleasure he was feeling from Joey's mouth, and with how pent-up he'd been from the past few days, it wasn't long before Darren felt his orgasm getting close. "Joey... I'm about to..." he warned, expecting the blond to pull off and finish him with his hand.
Hearing that, Joey actually increased his efforts. His head bobbed faster and his pierced tongue stroked the underside of that wonderful cock, making sure not to get his stud caught in the ring. It was only seconds later that Darren cried out "JOEY!" when the teen felt the first splashes of the prince's warm seed hit the back of his throat. He drank him all down, not wanting to waste anything Darren gave him.
Once he'd wrung every last drop from his older lover, Joey slid Darren's cock from his mouth and slid up to rest beside him. His head lay on the Atlantean's chest, one hand resting on his abs and a leg swung over the prince's. "I'd ask if you liked it, but I think the answer is pretty obvious," Joey chuckled.
Darren laughed softly at that and wrapped an arm around Joey, clasping the blond to him. "You were wonderful, Joey. I'm glad to have been the first person to have this pleasure with you."
They lay there like that for a few moments before joey spoke again. "Listen, do you think you can cut Pegasus and Kili some slack? I know he's your ward and everything, but we can't control who we fall in love with." He would know, he was an expert in the matter. And he had both physical and emotional scars to prove it.
The prince sighed heavily, not really wanting to approach this topic right now, but he knew it needed to be done. "I will try. But I'm a very old man and set in my ways. So I make no promises on this matter except that i will try to leave them be."
"Thanks baby," Joey said, leaning up to kiss Darren softly. Then he rested his head back down on his lover's chest, letting his heartbeat lull him to sleep moments later.
Darren lay there for a while and stared at the ceiling. "Please, please do not let this turn out to be some cruel dream inflicted upon me." With his arms wrapped firmly around Joey, he slowly fell asleep to join his lover in dreamland.
The next morning, Joey woke to the sensation of warm rays of sunlight creeping over his body and an even warmer embrace from the ancient prince who was quickly stealing his heart. Slowly, he stirred and looked up at Darren's face to see he was still asleep. Feeling a touch playful, Joey reached down and cupped him, wondering how long he could fondle his lover before we took notice and woke up.
Not long as it turned out. Almost as soon as Joey started fondling, Darren's eyes shot open and he grinned down at the mischievous blond. "Well, I see you're in high spirits this morning," he teased, sliding his hand down to squeeze Joey's hip.
"How can I not be after last night?" Joey countered with a grin of his own.
"No regrets?" Darren asked him.
"No regrets. Last night was wonderful. It felt so right. Like two pieces of a puzzle that fit together." He sat up and stretched a bit, glancing down at the half erection his touch had gotten out of Darren. "Say... you wanna maybe stay in the room today and..."
Darren knew exactly where he was going and sat up as well, shaking his head. "As much as I would love to Joey, we're going to take this slow. Last night was perfect. Let's not rush the intimate aspects too quickly. Besides, your friends are expecting us to join them and I have an apology to make."
Though reluctant to agree, Joey knew Darren was right but planned on trying to have some fun later. He knew he was seeming a bit eager and all, but after all the crap he'd been through lately, something that felt so good was almost too much for him to pass up on.
They both got up and used their en suite bathroom for a quick shower together that almost turned into much more before they managed to separate and get dressed in the kimonos the inn offered. Sharing one more kiss at the door, they stepped out into the hall and headed for the dining room where everyone was already seated.
As they came into the room, conversation among the others stopped and they all grinned at the late rising pair. Marik opened his mouth to say something, but Namu whacked him on the back of the head. "What?! I wasn't going to say anything bad!"
"I know your definition of bad and it would have most certainly been enough to embarrass all of us here. So just keep your opinion to yourself," Namu scolded, earning him a sullen nod from his yami.
Darren sat down at his seat and looked over to Pegasus who was seated on the opposite side of the table and several seats away from Kili. With a sigh, the prince took a sip of his tea and rubbed the bridge of his nose, collecting his strength until Joey placed a hand over his own and smiled encouragingly.
"Pegasus... I was... out of line yesterday. I know you would never do anything to hurt Kili, having been hurt enough in your own life. If you wish to court Kili, you may. But I will have to lay out some ground rules when we get home. And one right here and now. Nothing sexual."
At Kili's glare, he looked to his ward and shook his head. "You're too young for that sort of thing."
Kili tried protesting with sing language, but Pegasus spoke up. "I agree with Darren-boy Kili. We aren't ready for that step anyway. You and I both know these feelings between us are recent and untested. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Believe me, I know how that can backfire."
Though the boy looked like he wanted to fight about it some more, he only nodded and slumped in his seat, pouting. Darren cast an appreciative glance to Pegasus as they all tucked into their meals.
The rest of the vacation went by in a blur and before they knew it, it was over. While Joey and Darren had... indulged themselves a few more times, they were still taking things slow, only slipping off to be alone when the tension was too much.
As they said goodbye to their friends at the airport, Yami stated he had an announcement. They all stopped and looked at him, as he got down on one knee in front of Yugi. The girls smiled softly and all the guys, save Darren and Pegasus, looked utterly shocked.
"Yugi, when you first put together the Millenium Puzzle, you and I couldn't have been more different. You were sweet and innocent, I was a bit... well, psychotic after being locked away for 5000 years. But as you summoned me to aid you time and time again, and we began speaking in our spirit rooms, you began to melt the ice I'd formed around my heart. And when I finally got strong enough to form a body of my own, our feelings only grew stronger and stronger. I cannot imagine spending this second chance i have at life without you in it."
Reaching into his pocket, Yami pulled out a small black box and opened it. The ring inside was a gold band shaped like the All-seeing Eye. To match Yugi's hair, one part of the eye's loop had rubies, the other had black diamonds and a large canary diamond sat firmly in the center. "Yugi Motou, will you marry me and shine your light into my life for eternity?"
Yugi's eyes teared up and he began to cry openly, his hands clamped over his mouth. There were no words for what he wanted to say, so he merely dropped to his knees and kissed Yami, his arms wrapping around the pharaoh's neck.
When they finally broke apart and slowly everyone started to leave again, Joey bent down to Yugi and asked, "Hey, didn't you tell me over the phone that he was gonna propose to you a few months ago?"
The small teen paused as he recalled that phone conversation. "Oh yeah. Well, I thought was he was going to, but he'd just been trying to hide that he'd booked us at a hotel for a few days so we could have some real alone time."
"Ah. Hey, congratulations buddy. You've more than earned this with him after all the stuff you guys have been through." Joey patted his friend on the back and straightened up, letting him rejoin his now fiancé and board the private jet.
Standing beside Darren, Joey waved to his friends as they looked out the jet's windows before the engines were revved up and the jet took off, taking them back to Domino City.
Once they could no longer see the jet, Joey looked up at Darren and laced their fingers together. "I guess we should get going too, huh?" he asked.
Darren smiled at his at his younger lover, eager to get him back to their manor so they could truly begin their life as a couple. He still wanted to take things a bit slow yes, but that didn't mean he couldn't look forward to when things sped up. "Yes we should. I no doubt have a lot of paperwork waiting for me to handle when we get back."
As the prince began leading Joey over to their jet, a sudden cry of "JOEY!" gave them pause. Given that it was a small airfield, it as easy for them to spot two persons waving at them from the border fence. Frowning at each other, Darren told the others to go ahead and board while they handled this.
The two strode over to the fence, slowing as they saw Serenity and a young blond girl Darren didn't recognize. This bond girl had half moon glasses, mid back length hair, and freckles under her blue eyes.
"Rebecca? Serenity?" Joey asked as they stopped just on the other side of the fence. "W-wha- how did you guys find us out here?"
At that, Rebecca smirked, her shoulder straightening with pride. "Because I'm a genius, that's how. "She looked over at Serenity and gently nudged her with an elbow. " Go on. Tell Joey why you had me bring you all the way here."
Serenity bit her lip as she looked at her big brother. Joey meant the world to her and she knew this was going to upset him. "Mom kind of... kicked me out..."
Both Joey and Darren were stunned by this. Though he'd only met the woman briefly, Joey's mother seemed to care about her daughter in a way she never could with her son. "Why in the world did she send you away?" he asked, beating Joey to the punch.
Glancing at Rebecca with a tint of red on her cheeks, Serenity replied, "I'd invited Rebecca over to hang out. Mom came home early from work and..." She trailed off, unable to finish her explanation.
Rebecca sighed and picked up where the brunette had left off. "She caught us in Serenity's room kissing. Well she just went and flipped her lid over it. She just went on and on about how her daughter was turning into a homosexual degenerate just like her son." She rolled her eyes as she recalled the tirade. "So out she kicked her. I'd invited her to stay with me and Grandpa, but she said she wanted to be with her big brother."
Joey glanced over at Darren, a puppy eyed look growing on his face. The prince knew he wasn't going to be able to resist that face, so he didn't even try. He hed up his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. She can stay. Rebecca is free to join us whenever she wishes as well. Do either of you need to fetch anything before we depart?"
Serenity blushed at Darren's acceptance of her situation and how easily he agreed to let her stay with him and Joey. "No. But ummm, if it's not too much trouble, could you have my things brought over from my mom's house?" she asked.
"Certainly. Now, we should be on our way." Without waiting for any further discussion, he lifted both girls over the fence with ease. Smiling at how Serenity hugged Joey tightly, he led the way back to the jet and let the others board ahead of him.
After checking with the pilot that everything was ready to go, he headed back into main cabin to sit beside Joey, who was explaining the situation to the other four. "You seem to have a knack for taking in strays," Allister said to Darren.
Darren opened his mouth to say something, but Pegasus beat him to it. "Now now, Darren-boy merely has a big heart and doesn't want to see anyone suffer unduly."
"Thank you Pegasus," Darren said, settling back into his seat. Conversation died down as they took off. But as they level off, the couples all began to relax against each other. Even Kili rested his head on Pegasus' shoulder. Smiling softly at the sight of his ward more peaceful than he'd ever seen him, Darren draped an arm around Joey's shoulders as they both drifted off to sleep for the flight.
Hours later they landed and everyone slowly stepped off the jet. As they exited the private airport, Pegasus bid Kili goodbye, promising to come visiting more often. This earned a mild groan of irritation from Darren. There was no real malice in the groan, but Kili was like a son to him, and any parent hated hearing such things from a young teenager's lover.
Serenity and Joey chatted quietly during the limo ride home. Rebecca spent the trip hounding Darren about the web connectivity and such. To ease his growing irritation at the constant barrage of questions, he calmly asked her, "Do you need me to have anything collected as well?"
"Oh no, I can just have Grandpa send my stuff once I get settled in," she said with a dismissive wave of her hand.
He nodded and shifted his attention to the window, watching the scenery roll by and reflecting on just how well this little trip had gone. He couldn't believe it, he and Joey were now an officially intimate couple. And he could swear that Joey's scent clung to him a little even now.
When they finally arrived at the manor, everyone was eager to get some proper rest after a long day of travel. Darren led Serenity and Rebecca to one of the bedrooms, pausing for a moment before he opened the door. "This was Aya's room when she was still alive."
He swung open the door, revealing a room decorated with female sorcerer style Duel Monsters. Though the girls entered the room, Darren himself stayed out in the hall, unable to bring himself to step inside.
"What's wrong?" Rebecca asked.
Serenity knew the problem. Part of what she and Joey had discussed was a brief overview of Trin and Aya and how close Darren was to both. She placed a hand on her girlfriend's shoulder. "Aya was a very old friend of Darren's who died recently. He's just not ready yet to come in."
Before Rebecca could offer her condolences, Darren left the girls to get settled, his thoughts troubled. He hadn't found the time on the trip to Domino to go and visit Trin and Aya's graves. He hadn't had them buried on the property because he felt if he did that, he'd never leave their graves. This way was easier to cope with the loss. With them in Domino he could at times just believe they were away on business and that someday they'd be reunited. But he ultimately knew the odds of that. He would more than likely walk the earth until its end.
Lost thought he seemed to be in his rather melancholy thoughts, they all scattered to the back of his mind when he spotted Joey heading into his old room. "Where do you think you're going Joey?" he asked, striding over to his younger lover.
"I was going to my room for bed," the blond replied with a confused look on his face.
Darren shook his head, a few locks of teal hair falling over his face. "You can use that room when I'm away or we're fighting. But when I'm around and we're on good terms with each other, you'll share my chambers with me."
Joey's face lit up at that and he eagerly followed Darren back to his room. As the prince began undressing for bed, this time Joey didn't look away, but drank in his fill of a body he knew he'd never get used to seeing. It was just such perfection with all those ropes of muscle rippling under his skin. He practically drooled as he stripped himself, sliding eagerly into their bed.
As Darren joined the teenager, he smiled at the eager look in the boy's eyes. "Darren... Can we..." Joey blushed at what he wanted to do. He knew his odler lover would not yet agree to going all the way, but...
"As many times as you want imora," Darren replied.
The following morning found everyone downstairs in one of the smaller dining rooms enjoying a nice breakfast made by Serenity and Rebecca. As Darren glanced around the room, he couldn't help but smile. Perhaps now a few more rooms in this once horribly empty house would see some proper use. Or improper at times. Joey was on his left side, Kili at his right as they ate and the ancient male perused the morning paper.
A sudden knock on the door had them all frowning a bit. "Were you expecting anyone?" Joey asked Darren.
It took a moment, but realization finally lit in Darren's eyes. "Oh yes, those must be my movers with Serenity's things. I'll go show them in and tell them where to take her stuff." Patting his mouth with his napkin, Darren rose from his seat and strode to the door.
As he opened the door however, there stood someone he hadn't expected, as well as the movers. Mrs Wheeler stood on his doorstep, a stern look on her face.
Where is my son?" she asked in a crisp tone.
"He is just inside," Darren said with a frown as she pushed her way past him. "I really must set a pack of rabid wolves to guard the front gate, he grumbled before turning to the movers. "I take it she followed you here? Don't worry, I won't hold any of you responsible for her. Takes the boxes upstairs, fifth door on the right."
Once the movers were going about their work, Darren sighed and headed back for the dining room just in time to catch Mrs Wheeler in middle of berating her offspring.
"... And then I find you here of all places, Serenity. Shacked up in this whore house with your brother and that little tart. I expected better of you, daughter, I really did. I've known Joey would always turn out to be a cheap young man who goes after wealthy people just for their money but you..." she trailed off, unable to find the words anymore.
Both Joey and Serenity had tears running down their cheeks, and frankly, Darren had heard enough. Before anyone else could come to their defense, the prince spoke up. "Mrs Wheeler. I see your skills at civility in the home of someone else has not improved since last we met. In fact, I daresay they have devolved even further. To think you would be so close minded about your children. I've researched into your family's history and seem to recall Joey paying a considerable amount of money so his sister would not lose her sight. If that's not an example of a kind heart in your opinion, I would truly like to know your basis for comparison. Last time you were here, I gave you the option of leaving here willingly. I will not be so lenient this time. You barged into my home without being invited for a second time now, and then you once more proceded to insult and berate those under my care."
Darren pulled a small remote from his suit pocket and pressed a button. A few minutes later, armed security guards entered from the front door. "Ah, excellent timing as usual gentlemen," Darren said, checking his watch. "Take Mrs Wheeler here off the property. I will be suing her for deformation of character to my guests. So do be expecting a call from several lawyer firms madam. Good day."
He sat back down as everyone else watched the older woman, who protested and cursed the whole time, was escorted out. "You're actually going to sue my mom?" Joey asked in shock. Serenity was too upset by the whole ordeal and silently excused herself up to her room, Rebecca following suit.
"Of course Joey," he said. Glancing at Kili, Mokuba, and Allister, he asked, "Could you give us a few minutes?" Once they were gone, though probably only hiding around the corner, Darren looked back at Joey.
Shifting in his chair, he smiled softy and took both of Joey's hands in his own. "You're my lover Joey. In the months we've known each other, you've come to mean so much to me, and I never stand for those in my heart being hurt. I won't do any permanent damage to your mother's finances or anything, this will mostly only hurt her reputation around others. I believe in letting one's punishment fit the crime. She likes making others feel low, it's her turn then."
Joey bit his lip as he thought it over. He was surprised to find he agreed with the decision. He expected that kind of talk from her directed at him, but when she rounded on his little sister... "OK."
"Now come upstairs with me Joey, there's something we need to take care of."
"What?" the blond asked, tilting his head.
"I know I said we should wait on certain things, but after all that just now I need to be reminded of the beauty this word can hold as well."
"Y-you mean?"
Darren nodded and smiled once more. "Joey, will you let me make love to you?"
"Yes."
Author's Note: Finally! Sorry the epic long wait everyone! Had the hugest bit of writer's block with this chapter. Luckily, the creative juices are already flowing for Chapter 10 so it won't be nearly as long a wait. Please feel free to flame me on the time it took for me to post this, and always your reviews on the chapter overall are welcome.
Oh, just a heads up for everyone, but Chapter X will be opening with what I'm hoping is going to be a pretty intense sex scene, so those of you who might a bit young for this sort of thing just kind of skip over it, you'll know where it's safe to read.
