Whipped Crème 25

Desperate Possession

The silence in the grand hall of the Obsidian Palace was deafening as Dee sized up Ryo. Ryo stood his ground his chin raised in proud defiance. Ryo was shoved from behind by Laton's large, scaled head. He took a step towards Dee just as Renee pulled him to Ryo. Laton and Torcha stood on either side of Ryo their large bodies intimidating in the large space of the throne room. "Renee Spencer," Laton's voice rumbled across the floor causing shivers to race over Renee's body. She had been warned about the true nature of Arcadia, but even so, seeing such a creature speaking to her was rattling what little was left of her nerve.

"Yes, great leader of the Eastern Fire Dragons," Renee answered proud that her voice shook only a little.

"Do you accept that your son will bind his life forever to that of Randy Ryo MaClean, Youngest Prince, son of Honoo De Odoru Tame, youngest princess of the Eastern Fire Dragons. Thereby accepting the role of dowager princess of this noble clan?" Laton spoke the words and tried to smile. Renee suppressed a scream as most of his teeth were bared before her.

Renee saw the love on Dee's face as he stared at Ryo ignoring the towering beasts before him. "I..." Renee firmed her chin. "I do accept this role in honor of my son Dee Laytner." Renee felt an odd moment of emotion as she remembered that the name she had given him was Dillon.

"Detective Dee Laytner," Torcha said her dulcet voice sounding a challenge as her deep eyes bored into him. "Do you truly want to spend your life with the grandson of dragons?"

"I do," Dee said watching as Ryo was lifted from his feet and placed on Laton's broad back and carried to the other side of the throne room. Torcha looked over her shoulder at Dee as Ryo was deposited amidst the swirling scales of his relatives.

"Then... If you want him, come and claim him... If you dare." Torcha hissed opening her mouth she surrounded the circle with dancing flames. Dee took a step back even having been warned the flash of heat was daunting. Dee nodded more to himself than to anyone else he felt the stares of the crowd on him as he moved his hair from his face and started the long walk to the swirling mass of heat and scales. Power and grace were evident as they circled around giving Dee glimpses of Ryo as he stood among the flames of his family unharmed and beautiful. Dee reached out and had to snatch his hand back from the snapping teeth of a brown beast that Dee knew was an uncle. Dee frowned and reached again for Ryo only to have a tail lash out knocking him from his feet.

This was not exactly a fair match, Dee thought as he got to his feet and went forward only to come crashing to the black marble floor again. Ryo gasped and tried to come to his aid only to have an aunt yank him back with a warning shake of her large golden head. "Does he want you?" The female asked her voice silent inside of Ryo's head as smoke curled from her nostrils. Ryo looked past the mass of bodies and saw Dee again getting to his feet. Dee huffed a huge sigh then stomped forward. He knew he would be knocked back again.

Dee frowned when he saw a large emerald beast come to him. This was insane, Ryo was his. Dee placed his hands on the scales and shoved. Torcha gave him an approving nod though his strength was meager compared to her own she stepped aside. Though he had not been told to be aggressive with the dragons Dee was proving his determination. Another dragon took offense at his handling of the Queen and thought to push Dee. Dee dodged the large claw and shoved this dragon as well with respect the dragon nodded his head and moved. Another came and he pushed past. The crowd began to cheer as Dee made his way to the inner circle where only Laton stood guard. Laton inhaled pulling Dee forward. He exhaled and Dee felt swamped by the heat and smoke that billowed around Laton obscuring his vision of Ryo. Dee stepped forward and Ryo stepped back. "Do not allow your pride to bend so easily," Laton had told him as they had prepared him for the ceremony. "You have to show yourself overpowered." Dee glared at Ryo and snatched his hand yanking him away from Laton.

Ryo jerked his hand trying to escape. He nearly wrenched free only to have Dee turn him around and lift him from his feet. With his back pressed to Dee's front when his feet did touch the ground again Dee held him firm. Dee set Ryo down and turned him til they were facing each other. He took Ryo's hand only to have Ryo snatch away. Dee grabbed Ryo's hips and pulled their bodies flush against one another. "You are mine," Dee recited the words. "No other shall have you, no other shall claim you as you are now claimed. You will submit." It was not a question and Ryo's cheeks tinted as he felt stirred by the power of Dee's deep green gaze.

"I am yours," Ryo admitted defeat finding it difficult to swallow past the lump of raw desire in his own throat. "I have been claimed." Before all, Dee pressed his lips to Ryo's as the crowd cheered. They separated to catch their breath as Nestoir signaled the band to begin to play.

Nestoir sang softly while Dee took Ryo's hand and arranged them alongside his own.

[Nestoir: Ahora no, yo no me quiero defender

Dentro de mi cualquier error superare

Y mis momentos mas dificiles por ti

Ryo fell into step with Dee gasping, his face heating as Dee gripped his hips in a sensual move designed to show his prowess and conquering of Ryo.

[Andromache: There is no reason, there's no rhyme:

it's crystal clear.

I hear your voice and all the darkness disappears.

Every time I look into your eyes you

make me love you,

Ryo blushed but dipped his head in the way Daphnus had taught him. He had never felt more exposed in his life. Not even when Randolph had admitted to having video tapes.

[Nestoir: Este invierno acabara

[Andromache: I do truly love you

Count D felt the odd twinge of tears in his eyes as he saw his friends moving so beautifully together in a dance that only Daphnus could have choreographed so graceful and lovely. Leon patted his hand attributing his over emotional state to his pregnancy.

[Nestoir: Libre yo sere

[Andromache: How you make me love you

[Nestoir: Volveremos a empezar

[Andromache: I do truly love you

[Andromache & Nestoir: I belong to you, you belong to me forever

Ryo nodded his head as Dee gazed into his eyes. He belonged... they belonged to each other.

[Andromache: Want you, baby I want you and I thought that you should know that I believe.

You're the wind that's underneath my wings,

I belong to you, you belong to me.

Dee lifted Ryo from his feet and spun him around before they began to mimic one another in a dance of evade and capture.

[Nestoir: Mi mente ha ido por send Nestoir

[Andromache: You are my fantasy

Ryo blushed as the words struck a chord in his heart.

During the rehearsals they had heard the music, but not the words. Apparently Nestoir and Andromache had written the song together.

[Nestoir: Por sentimientos y desiertos aridos

[Andromache: You are my gentle breeze

[Nestoir: Con la pasion que me regalas ahora vivire

[Andromache: and I'll never let you go

[Nestoir: en aras de tu amor ire

[Andromache: you're the piece that makes me whole

[Nestoir: tus olas yo cabalgare

[Andromache: I can feel you in my soul

Dee took Ryo's hands and moved him to the beat, careful to do the spins correctly, yet swamped by the abundant love in his heart for Ryo.

[Nestoir: tu sal yo la ..

.[Andromache & Nestoir: Por ti vencere todo el miedo que yo siento

[Nestoir: Cuando me quedan dentro las palabras que yo no llegue a decir

[Andromache: Want you, baby I want you and I thought that you should know that I believe.

[Nestoir: Luz en el silencio tu y yo

[Andromache & Nestoir: I belong to you, you belong to me

[Andromache: you're the wind that's underneath my wings,

The crowd gasped as again Ryo was lifted and spun. The dragons showed even more admiration for the humans strength.

[Andromache: I belong to you, you belong to me.

[Nestoir: Ahora yo te siento

[Andromache: I will belong forever

[Andromache & Nestoir: to... you...

As they ended with Ryo dipped and Dee's lips pressed to his the guests all cheered. Ryo opened his mouth further surrendering. Dee had never felt more invigorated in his life. He breathed deeply and lifted Ryo then looked over the crowd. Rain jumped up and down clapping his hands in glee while Bikky nodded his approval. Lyo and Alicia both stood clapping. Alicia wiped the tears from her eyes as the band began again. With soft music playing in the back, Dee took Ryo's hand and they approached the stone slabs that Laton and Torcha both sat upon in their Human veils. Salamanders approached them carrying velvet pillows. On the pillows golden crowns reposed. Ryo's was recognized as the first one placed on his head. It was in the shape of a dragon with its tail coiled around it's body. Spikes topped the crown in each of the dragons four claws diamonds were clutched. Beside it sat another crown a variation of this one with a single tear shaped diamond in the dragons front claws as if holding it to it's body.

"Summon forth your children," Torcha said. Ryo turned and nodded. Bikky took Lyo's hand. Alicia forced a smile as her son left her to follow Bikky and Rain across the great hall of the Obsidian Palace. Small, single ringed crowns with a V point that would rest in the center of their heads sat upon their own pillows. A single diamond rested in the center of the V. Laton placed the crowns upon the boys heads and sent them back to their places. Lyo took his off and sat playing with it while the music became louder as Andy began to sing. This dance made Dee smile. It was less choreographed and more instinct. Clarisande began to sing sweetly in the background as the band played.

"Many times I've tried to tell you

Many times I've cried alone

Always I'm surprised how well you

Cut my feelings to the bone

Don't wanna leave you really

I've invested too much time

To give you up that easy

To the doubts that complicate your mind

Ryo caught his breath as Dee sped up with the tempo.

We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We've both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong, we belong

We belong together

Dee paused catching his breath as the princess continued to sing he simply held Ryo swaying to the gentle words.

" Maybe it's a sign of weakness

When I don't know what to say

Maybe I just wouldn't know

What to do with my strength anyway

Have we become a habit

Do we distort the facts

Now there's no looking forward

Now there's no turning back

When you say

This time when Dee sped up Ryo was prepared keeping up with the movements with a smile of satisfaction.

"We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We've both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong, we belong

We belong together

Close your eyes and try to sleep now

Close your eyes and try to dream

Clear your mind and do your best

To try and wash the palette clean

We can't begin to know it

How much we really care

I hear your voice inside me

I see your face everywhere

Still you say

Andy returned to the stage with Rain and a choir of children all holding candles they circled the stage in dizzying patterns while Dee lead Ryo around.

"We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We've both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong, we belong

We belong together

We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We've both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong, we belong

We belong together

Ryo leaned heavily against Dee as his breathing calmed he closed his eyes and drank in the sensual scent of his mate. "I deny this ceremony!" Ryo jerked his eyes open and looked to see Cho Da Koen come soaring into the room his wings beating a gust of wild wind throughout the throne room.

"It has been settled, the dragon prince is claimed," One of Ryo's cousins said as he placed his body in front of the couple.

"Step aside Lu-En," Laton said not bothering to shift form as he aimed a mocking smile at Cho Da Koen. "Let my grandson stand for his mate and his crown."

Ryo stood in the circle of Dee's arms and faced the fire breathing monster that stood before him plumes of smoke curled around his feet so close did Cho Da Koen's fire come. As it licked at the ends of his pants Ryo felt his passion for Dee and his love of his children take free reign of his body. Ryo raised his hands and just as Cho Da Koen opened his mouth to roast Ryo and Dee, Ryo's palms erupted. Flames collided as Ryo pushed against the angry dragon Dee held him tighter despite his fear that the other dragon would immolate them both. He would be happy to go. Leon and Count D would take care of their boys and he would have his love in his arms. Death was not on the horizon for them though. Cho Da Koen took a step back as more flames than he thought the little half breed capable of pushed his own aside as if they were nothing.

Cho Da Koen knew fear as he was overpowered and still Ryo pressed on. Cho Da Koen was forced to lower his neck to the floor in a posture of respect. "Never come near me or mine again." Ryo ground out. "You are hereby banished until summoned by the king of the dragons." Cho da Koen raised his eyes in shock to see Laton and Torcha both nodding their heads pride in their gazes. Good, Laton thought, Ryo was finally understanding the rank he had been born to. Cho Da Koen left his head low as he left the hall in shame of defeat. Dee tightened his arms around Ryo. He placed a kiss on the curve of Ryo's neck.

Laton stood to his feet regal in his dark red and black garb his crown winking in the many lights of the candles. "Let the feast begin!" He announced as the dragons all shifted forms to make room on the floor for the audience to come down and follow them to the dining hall. Ryo sat and allowed Dee to fill his plate and even feed him several bites. Though he was allowed to feed himself Dee had to cater to him until such a time as they left the hall. Ryo opened his mouth blushing as Dee placed a fork full of food inside.

"Your face matches your outfit," Dee whispered to Ryo as he leaned in and licked a drop of sauce from the corner of his mouth. "I'll bet your tight." Dee smirked when Ryo turned redder and gulped his champagne. "I'll be gentle."

"You were... our first night," Ryo said.

"For you... I'll make it like the first time." Dee promised sliding his hand over Ryo's he gasped to see that their wedding bands had reappeared on their fingers. Dee looked at the single diamond embedded in his band that matched Ryo's and smiled. "I even bought an especially thick lube..." Ryo turned as red as his outfit. He swallowed with some difficulty which prompted Dee to hold his glass of champagne over to his lips. Ryo sighed and opened his mouth allowing Dee to feed him. As the feast ended the guest made their way to the dance floor. Leon came up to clap Dee on the shoulder as Count D embraced Ryo. Ryo kissed Count D's cheek while JJ and Lord D made their way over Angel blew his nose loudly in the handkerchief that Roger had given him. Collins sat talking with Queen Victoria about a recipe that he would have to make for Count D during their travels.

"The couple will lead," Nestoir announced earning himself a frown from Dee. Hadn't he and Ryo danced before the crowd enough? Nestoir laughed at the glare he received and stepped aside for his wife. Andy and Clarisande began to harmonize then as Dee took Ryo in his arms, they began to sing.

" menomaeni iru kimi ga sukoshi kagayaki mawari ga mienai watashitachi wa dokoni iruno zawameki hajimeta haikei no nakani mada kienaidene mou nannimo kikoenai But I can feel you breathe odoroku hodo kimagurena tenkaini sukoshidake watashi rashikunai kitai wo oh oh shiteru I wanna be here eternally konomama mitsume aetteitai I can feel you close to me itsumademo sobani wa irarenai kono shunkan dake wa zutto eien ni tatakai ni dekakeru maeno hitoyasumi anatato sugoshitai yakusoku wa kondo aeta toki ni Can you hear me breathe? odoroku hodo dewanai tenkai nimo kandou wo shichau toki ga dare ni datte oh oh aru I wanna be here eternally darenimo mitsukaranai tokoroni I can see you are all I need ashita made tasuke wa iranai kono shunkan saemo kitto just a fantasy I can feel you close to me ano basho ni kaere nakunattemo imano kimochi dake wa zutto eien I wanna be here eternally Oh, give it to me I can see you are all I need kono shunkan dake wa hahahaha...eien ni" The band continued to play music when the girls left the stage. Ryo leaned against Dee glad that their part in the night's spotlight was finally over.

As the rest of the guests joined them on the dance floor Dee leaned in close. "Soon," He whispered in Ryo's ear. Ryo smiled and leaned his head on Dee's shoulder planning to enjoy his night. Dee held Ryo tight feeling swallowed by the crush of the crowd and his own overwhelming love for this strong, proud dragon. He would love Ryo, Dee vowed his fingers clenching in the soft material of Ryo's clothes. He would love him forever.

Break

Macy had never felt so alive. She splashed in the clear water of the lake with her camera and sound crew. The day wore on and they forgot about filming as they played like children in the idyllic forest around them. Large butterflied fluttered by bringing with them the sweet smell of the many flowers that bloomed on the fertile ground carpeting the forest floor with fragrant petals. Wind whispered through the hanging leaves of the trees calming all who heard it. The humans forgot about the wedding they were not allowed to witness.

Jash sighed as they played wishing he could have seen the ceremony but took his duty serious. If it seemed as if his charges were going to ask a question he whisked them onward to something new and fascinating all the while steering them clear of the obvious magic that surrounded several rooms in the large palace that housed the great white lions. Jash looked up as Macy trudged, wet and heavy in her clothes to sit beside him. "Do you have any idea how long it has been since I have played in water with my clothes on?" Macy laughed as she sat near Jash.

"This place has that affect on many who happen upon it," Jash said looking at the water sparkling in the sunshine. "Many," he repeated nodding his head as Macy gave in again and went splashing laughing the entire way.

Break

Laton stood with his wife watching as Ryo was lead through yet another dance with Dee. Ryo laughed aloud when Dee pulled him close to kiss behind his ear. "He is happy," Zarro paused beside his long time friend. Zarro noted the supreme expression of puzzlement as the dragon leader observed his grandson. Ryo held Dee tight, his eyes limpid with barely contained desire. "He wants him to..." Laton could not finish the thought.

Zarro nodded his head to unspoken question. "This is a younger generation. They want and are able to do things that are far beyond anything we could ever imagine. I do not understand it, I do not think I want to." Zarro felt a sigh and allowed it to leave his body. "When we were growing up, things were simpler, yet infinitely more difficult. If that's makes any sense." Zarro shrugged, his soft white garments lifting to reveal his bare feet.

Laton nodded finding it odd to look down on the great king of Arcadia. He had always meant to ask about the diminutive form he took as a human, but never got around to it. (Maybe he should read The White Lion) "It is time," Laton said and made his way to his grandson. Daphnus nodded and hinted that the music should change. Ryo and Dee were startled from their simple swaying by the abrupt change from a full orchestra to a piano solo. Ryo frowned, this music sounded familiar. Not as a song of the band, but something long ago, something his father used to play while he developed film. Many songs triggered the memories, but this one... Ryo paused it was an old song even then. His father had loved old music from the greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Nat' King' Cole, 'the greats' his father had called them. He would have said something but Laton approached them, Torcha at his side. "Child, you have done your duty by your guests," Laton tried not to allow his face to heat as he continued. "You may dismiss yourself from our company at any time now."

"You mean...?" Dee smiled his anticipation that had dogged his every step all day reaching the boiling point. Dancing with Ryo had not helped. Feeling his taut body, firm with muscles pressed along him swaying with open seduction. Dee swallowed with some trouble as his hand clenched where he still held Ryo's side. Dee nodded his head at Laton and Torcha, needing no further encouragement he began to pull Ryo from their side.

"Shouldn't we be a bit more discreet?" Ryo asked his face giving new meaning to the word 'blush'.

"They've had us on display all day," Dee said thinking of Laton once telling him, while he had waited for Ryo to rescue him from their clutches, that dragons relied heavily on power and passion. Their wedding ceremony had already displayed his own power in that he had taken on Ryo's entire family in order to claim him now they would have a display of his passion. "Ryo, it's all part of the game." Dee said close to Ryo's ear. "Will you walk, or do I have to carry you?"

Ryo stood still staring at Dee unsure if he or Dee was related to these obsolete creatures. There was no middle shade with them, it was either black or white. If he wanted to marry a human male, he had to take the role of a female, they could not slip away when no one would notice, they had to have the eye of the entire assembly, including the high king of Arcadia and Celeste. Dee shrugged as he watched Ryo's mind do battle with the onlookers and his own inhibitions. Reaching for Ryo Dee smirked when Ryo moved aside. "I'll walk," He said not about to be further embarrassed by leaving the hall in Dee's arms like a

blushing virgin, though his face was still red.

Before they could get far Laton again commanded their attention, this time his voice was low so that only they could hear him. "I would feel remiss in my duty as your guardian not to offer..." Ryo frowned when the great dragon hesitated. "The cantherides, it is available for the bridal couple, if needed. With arranged marriages it is sometimes necessary." And thus it all became clear to Ryo. Even if his mother had no desire for Cho Da Koen, she would wave submitted and been glad to, desperate even.

"The what?" Dee asked looking at Laton with confusion writ plain on his face.

"An aphrodisiac, almost as bad, no, worse than double X," Ryo said thinking of his mother fleeing the nuptials. "If given at the meal, right about now would be the time they would be taking affect." Ryo paused his eyes boring into Laton to see if he had dosed Dee or himself.

"If I had, I would not now be offering," Laton answered the look with words. "I can see that it is not needed," Laton smiled stepping away. "I was not pleased to see your mother go child, but I do understand why she did and I am glad she found happiness for however brief it was. And she left you to bless me with your presence. I am proud of you." Laton bowed at the waist prompting Torcha to do the same. Ryo nodded his head in recognition of the respect shown. He smiled then took Dee's hand to make the journey across the grand ball room. He stiffened as Andy began to sing.

"At... Last," Dee tried not to laugh, but could not help but find the humor in the choice of song. Ryo tried to ignore the smiles and grins of his relatives and friends as they left. Bikky poked Rain in the ribs pointing then he smiled at his parents going back to talking Chris. Ryo almost stopped moving when Rain continued to stare at them. He watched Rain's face for signs of panic but found only curiosity. Ryo moved closer to Dee and Rain smiled seeing that Ryo was willing he too went back to speaking with his friends.

Ryo had never been more glad to reach his bedroom. He looked around at the shining gold and diamond trim and could feel the gentle breeze from the ocean through the soft curtains. He stood for a moment inhaling the wild scent. Dee waited allowing Ryo his moment simply keeping his hands on Ryo's waist. At this point, it was impossible not to touch him. Ryo relaxed until he was leaning against Dee. Dee moved the ends of Ryo's hair aside to kiss the pale nape presented to him. Ryo sighed moving his head giving Dee more access to his skin. Dee's hands slid around to the front of Ryo feeling him through the layers of thin, soft fabric. Ryo gasped when Dee's large hands roamed his chest finding his nipples Dee pinched them then turned Ryo to face him. Ryo opened his mouth gladly for Dee's agile tongue using his own to taste Dee as his arms wrapped around Dee's neck. Dee's arms moved until he held Ryo firm against him.

They broke away gasping air into their lungs and finding only the raw desire to consume one another they kissed again merging their mouths with a desperation that left them breathless. "I missed this so much, missed holding you," Dee said his mouth moving to Ryo's forehead, his cheek his neck. "Kissing you, tasting you. Missed hearing you moan my name," Dee licked Ryo's neck reveling in the salty, sweet taste of his flesh. Warm and scintillating the smell was driving him crazy. "Ryo," Dee held on tight when he felt Ryo pushing away. Dee looked down to see that Ryo was undoing the buttons of his long jacket. The crimson fabric was soon hanging from Ryo in soft inviting folds baring his under-tunic. "They gift wrapped you?" Dee said causing Ryo to laugh as he untied the sash of his under-tunic to reveal a sheath similar to Count D's sleeveless one.

"The pants tie in the back," Ryo said as his nimble hands began to work on Dee's clothes. When Dee was bare chested Ryo leaned in to kiss the smooth skin of Dee's chest while Dee fumbled trying to untie the pants with Ryo facing him. Dee's arms felt stretched and he sighed moving until he was behind Ryo. Dee got to his knees and tugged until the rest of Ryo's garments fell away leaving only the pants, which, he now saw, were tied in two knotted bows. Dee refrained from commented on the joke the dressers had decided to play as he worked the knots loose. Ryo felt the tugging and looked back when he nearly lost his footing. Dee sighed with relief when the pants loosened and he was able to pull then down exposing Ryo's underwear. Dee smiled then leaned in taking the band of the soft silken shorts between his teeth he lowered his head pulling them down. "Ah..." Ryo's soft expulsion of air fired Dee's need as his hands roamed the plush plains of Ryo's bottom. Dee pressed a kiss to each globe then assisted Ryo in lifting his legs in order to step away from the pants and shorts. With his legs open he was in the perfect position. Ryo nearly fell over when Dee's tongue traced the divide in his bottom.

"That's right baby," Dee said catching his love by standing just as Ryo would have slid down. "I've got you. When your knees go weak, I'll hold you up." Ryo nodded thinking of their second time together. Dee had not been gentle, but the pain paled as he thought of all Dee had said. When Ryo confessed to not knowing how... "That's alright," Dee had said. "I do, and I may be dumb, but I won't lose you to another man." Ryo felt flushed as Dee maneuvered them to the large bed that had been turned down and strewn with flower petals. For the first time he noted that the soft light in the room was coming from candles placed in front of the diamonds giving a wavering prism glow to their lovemaking.

"Go slow," Ryo said when the backs of his knees pressed into the bed.

"Have to," Dee said savoring the taste of Ryo's chest. He found the pale, peach nipples and sicked greedily. "Have to, missed you too damn much to go fast." Ryo sighed when Dee's fingers traveled to his other nipple before his mouth moved over. Ryo was panting by the time Dee made it back to his lips. "Tell me you missed me too, you missed this." Dee said and Ryo was surprised to see doubt linger in Dee's eyes as he looked down at Ryo from his perch on his elbow over him.

Ryo sat up til his eyes were level with Dee's. With a smile he leaned in and pressed his lips to Dee's using his tongue he parted Dee's lips and discovered the recesses of Dee's mouth. He pulled away with a moan, "I did miss you Dee, I missed your hands, your mouth, you hard body deep inside of me." Ryo wrapped a leg around Dee's pressing his growing length against the hardness he could feel inside of Dee's silk trousers. Dee could hold back no further. He pressed his mouth to Ryo's pushing him back against the bed. "Yes Dee," Ryo moaned as Dee's hands traveled his body cupping the round firmness of his bottom. "Ooh," Ryo tucked his lip between his teeth when Dee parted the cheeks and teased him with a blunt fingertip. Ryo reached down and undid Dee's pants. Dee shifted position just he sprang free into Ryo's hands. Ryo pressed his mouth forward tasting the excitement of Dee.

"Ah," Dee cried out when Ryo began to suck, kiss and lick him. Pushing the pants further down Ryo took the round globes behind his engorged member into his mouth. "Damn baby," Dee gasped lowering his head to taste Ryo. Ryo began to whimper around his mouthful of Dee as Dee sucked his own fingers and began to caress the tight opening. "Let me in baby, relax," Dee said as a finger pressed inside past the ring of muscles that clamped down around him. "Just relax," Dee crooned kissing the moist flesh and sucking Ryo deep into his throat. Ryo gasped when Dee began to move his finger, thrusting the small digit in and out. Ryo fell into the rhythm his hips shifting in time to Dee's movement. Dee felt Ryo's acceptance and another finger joined the first spreading apart as he licked Ryo all over. "Gonna get the lube," Dee said panting as he reached for the bottle that had been left sitting in a bowl of warm water. "Get on your knees."

Ryo pulled away from Dee's member, glistening in the light with pre-cum and Ryo's saliva. Ryo got to his knees thrusting his hips back for Dee. Dee took a moment to appreciate the sight and slicked his hand. He leaned down and kissed each cheek again spreading Ryo wide he licked the small hole that puckered causing Ryo to cry out and grip the sheets underneath him. Dee swirled his tongue around tasting the earthy, salty, sweet that was all Ryo. Ryo felt tears gather in his eyes as he shuddered in bliss. "Dee," Ryo said the word on a sigh of rapture. "Oh, Dee," Ryo gasped when Dee's finger began a light tapping spreading the lubrication. "Don't tease me," Ryo pleaded and sighed when Dee's finger pushed in. Ryo relaxed against the bed, his arms folding at the elbow further exposing himself to Dee.

"Spread your legs some more," Dee said moving Ryo's knees further apart. "That's right, perfect, your fucking perfect." Dee said pushing another finger in. "And so tight, Ryo, you're so tight." Dee gasped when it felt as if Ryo's channel was squeezing his fingers.

"Dee," Ryo gasped as Dee's fingers stroked him deep inside. "No...not yet, not like that." Ryo pleaded when his vision blurred. Dee heard the hitch in Ryo's voice and grinned, he licked Ryo's sac from behind and pressed further, searching, finding... "Dee!" Ryo gasped as his muscles clenched tightly around Dee's finger and he came in a creamy flood into Dee's waiting free hand. Dee moved back wiping his hand on a towel he lay Ryo on his back. Ryo took a moment to catch his breath as he held on to Dee who crawled over him and pressed kisses along his forehead, eyelids, cheeks and finally Ryo opened his mouth to accept Dee's tongue. Ryo whimpered when Dee reached down stroking him to vibrant hardness again. Ryo took Dee in hand and matched his movements.

"You want it, Baby?" Dee said his breath hot against Ryo's sensitive ears. Ryo nodded when Dee's tongue snaked out to lick the small shell. "Spread your legs," Ryo was eager to comply. He sighed when Dee's weight settled against his body pressing him deep into the mattress. Dee pulled Ryo's knees up locking him in place. With a single hand he braced himself over Ryo, his other hand applying lubrication to his excited member. "Hold on," Dee said as he tried to calm himself. With a simple thrust of his hips he was pressing against Ryo. "Relax," Dee coached when he felt that even with his release, Ryo was still gripping him almost too tightly.

"Ah!' Ryo winced and breathed deeply. "Did you grow?" Ryo asked laughing a little as beads of sweat broke out on his brow.

"You got smaller?"Dee grew fearful that Laton and Torcha had done something more to Ryo than what they had said.

"It's okay, Dee, do it," Ryo relaxed his arms wrapping around Dee's neck. "I want you to," Dee repeated the words he had said their very first night together. Dee's heart constricted in his chest and he leaned down taking Ryo's lips as he pushed past the ring of muscles. Dee winced himself when Ryo clamped down hard. "Dee," Ryo sighed as his pain lessened leaving him with only the fullness of Dee. Ryo sighed when he knew, to the inch, when Dee was all the way inside. Ryo was glad of the previous experience, the first time he had worried that Dee would keep pushing, and pushing, and... would it ever end? He had wondered. When Dee had finally admitted to being all the way inside Ryo had heaved a great sigh of relief..

"You okay?" Dee asked holding himself still above Ryo. He looked down to see the sparkling, wavering light of the candles bouncing off the many diamonds in the room and his heart skipped several beats when Ryo smiled.

"Make love to me Dee," Ryo held his arms tighter around Dee pulling him close. Dee moved back then thrust in deep. Ryo rose to meet him gasping in delight when Dee shifted to the side making sure to brush his most sensitive area inside. "Ooh, yeah," Ryo moaned his head falling back as his eyes closed.

"Can't hold it much longer," Dee said shocked that the words were true. "Gonna..." Dee wanted to hold back, but to do so he would have had to cease moving and he knew he did not have the will-power to pull out. The only thing he could do was thrust deeper, deeper. "Ryo," Dee felt Ryo squeeze him internally. Ryo smiled as Dee seemed to swell inside of him before exploding. His insides were warmed by his essence as he poured his love inside. Dee collapsed on top of Ryo holding and kissing him. He reached down to stroke Ryo only to find cooling wetness on his stomach. Even in the dim, flickering light Dee could see the blush on Ryo's face.

Dee moved to the side keeping Ryo within the circle of his arms. "I'm fine Dee," Ryo said before Dee could ask he question. Ryo lay his head on Dee's chest and turned his body into Dee's. "Sticky, but fine. Better than fine." Ryo placed small kisses along the impressive pectorals lingering over their dusky peaks. Dee hissed when Ryo's tongue teased him then sucked the small nub in. Chewing slightly Ryo smiled then licked the small hurt. Dee trembled as Ryo continued to lave his most sensitive area. Where Ryo's ears were a scintillating spot, Dee's nipples were equally arousing to him.

Ryo shifted his legs when he felt Dee's hands kneading his backside. He grinned and moved on to the other nipple just as Dee parted his cheeks and probed within. "Will you get on top?" Dee asked wanting to appreciate the view of Ryo undulating in the shimmering light.

"Dee," Ryo ducked his head hiding his eyes as still his tongue tortured Dee's nipples.

"Penetration will be easier, but thrusting might hurt." Dee said moving onto his back and pulling Ryo on top. "I won't know how far to go, you will," Dee said spreading more lubrication onto himself. He scooted back with Ryo until he was sitting up and able to embrace Ryo. Keeping him close might minimize his embarrassment.

"Okay," Ryo said lifting his hips. Dee griped himself pressing it to the small opening at Ryo's center. Ryo shifted his hips. Gasping when Dee pushed past his muscles. Balancing on his knees Ryo slid down, he paused only twice to shift his weight gripping Dee's shoulders Ryo impaled himself. Dee wrapped his arms around Ryo and brought his knees up to support Ryo's back. "Dee," Ryo shivered atop Dee as each move brought Dee firmly against his prostate. "Sugoi...ah...Kimochi."

"That's right baby," Dee urged loving the dulcet sound of whispered Japanese in his ear as Ryo moved in small circles. "Tell me all about it."

"Ai..." Ryo managed but swallowed and lifted himself before coming down. Dee felt Ryo's hardness pressing into his stomach and brought a hand between them to stroke the weeping appendage. "Ah," Ryo felt tears sting his eyes as he thrust himself deeper onto Dee. "Dee, close... too soon," Ryo reached down and moved Dee's hands to his waist. "Not yet, wanna feel you," Dee was shocked but held onto Ryo's waist lifting him up and thrusting when he moved back down.

Dee enjoyed the deep slide of Ryo's body and the sight of his head thrown back in abandon and pleasure. Dee brought his hands up removing the jeweled pins that held the locks of Ryo's honey-gold hair in place freeing them to fall about his face and shoulders, slick with sweat they appeared darker and clung to his skin. "So beautiful, my Ryo," Dee crooned as he moved his head in order to suckle the taut nipples that were displayed to him.

"Hai, Dee, Soko-desu-yo!" Ryo ground his hips hard against Dee taking him deep. Every nerve in Ryo's body was on fire, he closed his eyes when he thought the room was tilting as he came closer to the edge of sanity in Dee's arms. "Dee," Ryo whimpered when his body was no longer his to command. "Dee, onegaishimasu."

"What, Ryo?" Dee said his lips pressed to Ryo's. "What do you need baby?"

"Mmmm," Ryo tucked his lip between his teeth his breathing hitched as body convulsed. "I need you..."

"You got me," Dee affirmed as he pushed up into Ryo his left hand going back to Ryo's member to relieve the ache.

"Hai, Oh Dee, Kimochi! Kimochi!" Ryo cried out and gifted Dee with his hot release. Dee thrust once more enjoying the convulsions of Ryo's enjoyment then lost himself to his own climax filling Ryo almost to the brim with his cream. "Aishiteru," Ryo muttered moments before his eyes drifted close. Dee relaxed against the headboard his own eyes closing the weight of Ryo on top of him comforting. Dee wakened some time later to feel his body stiffening as he found himself still inside a sleeping Ryo. Dee shifted his hips hoping to extricate himself with waking the beautiful man. "Dee," Ryo's eyes opened with a dreamy sigh. "Shiite...Anata," Ryo whispered his eyes closing in bliss when he wiggled and felt Dee brush along inside of him.

Dee grinned recognizing the command and the endearment for Ryo had told him the meaning of the words long ago. Dee heaved all of what was left of his strength into rolling over taking Ryo to his side on the bed. He raised Ryo's leg and began to thrust deep his hips pounding into Ryo. "Ryo..." Dee gasped when his body began to move on instinct. He knew one thought, he had to have Ryo, had to take him, had to thrust and claim him. Dee pulled out Ryo almost sobbed at the lost of the deep friction within him. "Knees," Dee commanded moving to stack the pillows underneath Ryo's head and chest. Ryo spread his knees apart offering himself to Dee. Dee placed his hands on Ryo's hips pulling him back as he thrust forward. "Yeah, baby, so tight, so mine," Dee ground his hips hard into Ryo. Ryo brought a fist to his mouth to block the howl of supreme pleasure as Dee pushed in deeper. "Wanna hear it," Dee said leaning over Ryo's back removing the hand.

"Dee," Ryo's voice became higher pitched when Dee pressed firm against his pleasure spot. "Unh..." Ryo panted his vision blurred as his body quaked around Dee. "Sugoi, sugoi, Dee," Ryo gripped the sheets, hearing them rip Dee grinned and thrust more holding Ryo steady for the ride. "Dee," Ryo cried out again as he came his body giving in to the demands of Dee's possession. Dee grimaced as once again he was held in thrall of Ryo coming so hard he feared he might faint.

Dee looked down and saw the red hand prints on Ryo's flanks as well as the mouth shaped bruises on his neck, chest and inner thighs. "Want a bath?" Dee offered when Ryo lay on his back and he saw the streams of his release trying to exit Ryo's body.

"Want?" Ryo grimaced as he realized that he had lain in the spots of his own making. "Need." he laughed and scooted to the edge of the bed and Dee had never thought him more beautiful. Ryo stood and paused stiffening beside the bed with a loud gasp.

"What? Pain?" Dee said standing next to Ryo placing his hands on Ryo's hips he turned him so that they were facing. Ryo shook his head his face flaming. "The bath water has been waiting and I know it's hot," Dee refrained from saying how weird he thought that was, but then again they were on Arcadia in the dragon's Obsidian Palace.

"Dee," Ryo said hiding his face behind his hands. "I'm dripping."

"What?" Dee said but could not get Ryo to look at him. Dee looked around behind him and saw what looked like melted whipped crème sliding down Ryo's thighs. Dee snatched the sheet from the bed not wanting Ryo to leave a trail from the bed to the bathing room with it;s sunken pool in the marble floor. Dee wrapped the sheet about Ryo's hips and lifted him in his arms. Ryo buried his hot face in the groove of Dee's neck clenching his muscles as much as he could. Dee felt him stiffening and they both laughed as the sun greeted their day.
