Honey Glayzed 25
Favorite?
Count D knew that his father was well cared for. But he could not force his feet to walk him out of the room. With his eyes glued to the tableau upon the bed he stood with his hands together in the pose of the hopeful. George stood at his side watching as Lord D was propped up on his pillows. "He's almost there," Sofu said to his son wiping his brow. "Just keep calm, when I tell you... Push."
"Oh..." Count D stared as his father began to breath through another contraction. With Sofu D there the pain was tolerable. Count D looked at Soofu A. Had he really been there the whole time his father, Soofu A's own nephew, had suffered and done nothing? Count D had learned a long time ago to not try to figure out the reasoning of the ancients. This in particular did not make any sense. Soofu A had shown up when he delivered Kurayami just to ensure their families safety and yet he argued constantly with Sofu D about the state of his children. What about his children? Count D thought his frown emerging. Yeah? His mind screamed. While Soofu A was busy here bothering them about being spoiled, where was the A clan? How were they doing? Wasn't Jerusalem in a constant state of war with the evil fools trying to wrest their God-Given lands from them? Should Soofu A not be there protecting them?
"Question not your elders boy," Soofu A's words cut through Count D's angry thoughts.
Count D drew himself up to his full height of five feet eight inches. "When my questions are spoken directly to you then you may choose to address them. Until then I have done no wrong and you are not right to chastise me." Count D took a deep steadying breath. "I have a right to my thoughts." Soofu A worked hard to keep the fond smile from showing on his face as Lord D's eldest son glowered at him. Count D was brought from the confrontation by his fathers gasp of pain.
"Get ready," Sofu D moved in position between his son's legs. JJ held his hand while his hair dripped onto his shoulders. Sofu tossed his hair back, leaving the sopping mess to fall aside. "When the next urge comes...push." Lord D nodded his head while Queen Victoria gazed with love at him. She held his other hand and he prepared to bear down and birth his child. "That's right my child," Sofu D coached pushing Lord D's legs up more. Blushing Count D looked away. Soofu A laughed causing Count D to grit his teeth. Soofu A had to admit that this D child was amusing to him.
"Georgie," Lord D said as he could feel the pressure build in his body. George looked up concerned. "Could you sing for me. Distraction."
"Sing?" George's incredulous expression was heard in his voice. With a shake of his head he smiled. " You don't have to touch it to know... Love is everywhere that you go." Lord D took a deep breath. "You don't have to touch it to feel... Love is every second we steal." Lord D pushed with all of his might. Sofu D encouraged his son as George sang. "Love is Love, is nothing without you. Love is Love is every thing you do. So open up your eyes and you will see. Love is Love is every thing to me."
Lord D pressed his lips together. The pressure inside his body built up. He took strength from JJ's loving, hand in his own. George saw Lord D in such pain and his voice faltered. "Keep singing child." Soofu A commanded.
George's nod was jerky with nerves, but his voice, beautiful and sure, was steady. "You don't have to touch it to be. Wrapped up in emotion like me." Lord D heard his friend singing and he pushed with all his might. "Everyone must feel like I do... Love is just to be close to you."
"You can do it," JJ encouraged after Lord D fell back to rest. "I know you can."
"We can," Lord D nodded. There was hardly time between bouts for him to rest.
George continued to sing. "Love is Love is nothing without you. Love is Love is everything you do. Open up your eyes and you will see. Love is Love is everything to me."
"Push child..."Sofu D coached.
"Tell me," Soofu A sidled up to Sofu D where he crouched between his son's legs. Lord D gasped, his face in flames at his uncle's proximity.
"And you know that Love is Love, it's written in black and blue..."
"Do you love that creature Aurora, otherwise known as Hermione?" Soofu A leaned over to look at Lord D's progress. "He's just about halfway down."
"And everything you say must bring her closer, closer to you..." George sang his heart out, even as tears coursed down his cheeks.
"Are you out of your mind?" Count D hurried forward to round on his uncle. "How dare you question the validity of my grandfather's marriage while he is..."
"Child cease your prattle, or leave this room," Soofu A turned to Count D.
"You have no call to order me from this room,"Count D stood his ground. Soofu A tried hard to maintain his displeasure, but he saw his own son Aaron in this young Kami. "Stand down little one," Soofu A smiled. "Push..." Soofu A said the same time Sofu D did. "Answer the question."
"You don't have to touch it to know," George sniffled. "Love is everywhere that you go. You don't have to touch it to feel. Love is every second we steal." Lord D breathed, he strained, he sweat and he pushed. "Love is Love is nothing without you. Love is Love is everything you do. Open up your eyes and you will see. Love is Love is everything to me."
" I love my wife," Sofu D announced. "Halfway there child," Sofu D smiled at his son feeding his strength and courage into him. "Almost there."
"Keep singing," Soofu A urged George. Soofu A pulled a cup of water from whereabouts unknown. "Hydrate, and keep singing."
"Love is Love is nothing without you, Love is Love is everything you do." George finished the song.
Soofu A offered him the cup of water. Lord D began to vocalize his pain. " What else do you have?" George stared in horror at the smug creature before him. Wracking his brain George began to sing song, after song after song.

Faith leaned back against the wall of the antechamber. "Seems wrong to leave." Faith said after wrapping her hand in a bandage. The jewel had bit deep but she refused to move from her spot. "After all that, I need to know how the little one comes out.
"In the usual way," Mykial sniffed. His eyes dilated then his fangs protruded. "I have to go..." The hunger that assaulted him at the scent of the emerging Kami was more than he could bear. "My uncle can withstand, I find I can not."
"I don't understand," Faith grew worried as beads of poppy red sweat formed on his brow and poured over his face.
"Hey?" Dee asked wondering if he should go back for Ryo and the boys. He had confidence in their abilities. Dee knew that Ryo could handle the situation. Bikky and Rain were well trained. Dee took several calming breaths. They would be alright. They had to be. Dee stared in horror as Mykial wiped his brow then licked his hand clean. The last he had heard, Faith had partnered with a human in the mountains. Who, or what was this person.
"You would have to stake me did I remain," Mykial vanished before Faith could ask him another question. Dee gasped to see the man begin to weep. Tears as red as the blood in his veins. Mykial hurried from the room in shame. Just last night the scent of a burgeoning Kami would not have been a problem. It was only now that the fate of his new existence began to make sense to him. Faith frowned. Wonder what that was about, she thought to herself. Was the child alright? Had he been born yet? Faith tried the nob on the door snatching her hand back when it burned.
"You are not allowed in here," Soofu A's voice entered her mind. Faith glanced about wondering where M and his daughter had gone. Had they not made it through? "My brother opened his own door into the throne room. He speaks with the king."
"You know it all, don't you?" Faith shook her head then sat down to wait.
"I wish you would explain that to my brother D and his children."Soofu A sighed causing Faith to wonder how the sound had come through in her mind. But wondering about this kingdom often lead to headaches.

Lord D pushed with every ounce of strength he had in him. He could feel the might of his father coursing through his body. He would be well. He knew it. Lord D inhaled and pushed again feeling the child advance further down the passage. Count D saw his grandfather pale. "Take, if you need, from me." Count D offered. He opened his mind to his father and grandfather.
"We'll make it," Sofu D assured Count D. JJ held Lord D's hand even as he could feel the bones creaking under his grip. JJ vowed that he would not let go. Holding in a cry of pain, he watched the miracle of Life.

Ryo stood back from the pieces of exploding daemon burning a few that came his way. "That was the last one," Rain said wiping his brow. Leon looked at Ryo just to make sure that he was as freaked out as he was. It was not the miniature daemons that had him spooked. It was the many tornadoes that had blown through the room. All of them had been controlled and well aimed, some times as many as six at a time had ripped the daemons limb from limb. It was precise, it was deadly. It was all Rain.
"How often does he train with Prince Angel?"Leon asked watching Rain secure his hair into his ponytail.
"He trains with Nestoir too, and Count D." Bikky explained with a smile. While Laton labeled him a fire prodigy, his brother was fast becoming a master of wind. With stalwart determination and skill, the two of them would be force to be reckoned with. "Hey guys, we have to motor. Lord D should have him out by now."
"What makes you say that?" Ryo asked sitting behind the wheel of their car.
"Can't Leon drive?" Rain asked causing Miaka to laugh.
"I'll drive," She offered as Leon got into the car with Jill.
"Shut up," Ryo tapped Rain's nose.
"Last time it happened fast," Bikky shrugged into his seat belt.
"Each time is different." Ryo nodded his head. Dee had not called yet, so the child was not here.

Mykial took a sip from the heavy golden chalice feeling the thick blood pour into his being. "You're shaping up to be a right glutton. Just like your uncle," Mykial was not shocked to see Azrial. It was odd, but he could feel that he was there. "Adjusting to your new life?"
"The blood of Kami smells so good." Mykial leaned against the railing he gazed up at the moon. "Before it would not have mattered."
"And now it does," Azrial felt the moment when Marilyn awakened. "Best I see to my...Marilyn," Azrial shook his head with a smile on his face. He had never expected to be swayed by the bratty behavior of the young vampire, but he had to admit it had been a long time since someone made such a petulant fuss over his attention. Mykial shook his head watching him go. He remembered several years ago, he had looked up to the suave Vampire. He always had some beautiful person on his arm, be it a male or a female. Now that he had joined his ranks he realized that those beautiful people had been no more than a meal. Would he, too, be so jaded in time? Mykial tossed aside his empty chalice. Such was his life, now.

"He's crowned," Sofu D announced with pride. His heart beat erratic with exultation. "Good job, son." Lord D barely heard his father through the haze of incomprehensible pain. "Push..." Lord D closed his eyes, holding Queen Victoria and JJ's hand he gave a mighty heave. "That's right, just push." George continued his singing while Lord D labored. A scream rent the air as Lord D pushed. "Wait..." Sofu D reached his fingers gently inside of his son. "His shoulders are wedged." Lord D's loud cry made sense. "Let me try to help him through or you will tear again."
"The child is strong, he will weather a tear," Soofu A smirked at his younger brother. Count D bristled.
"There really is no point to your being here," Count D walked away from his uncle. Soofu A held in a retort, he had bothered this younger child enough for today. He had other matters to see to.
Sofu D was diligent in his ignoring of his oldest brother. He turned the child inside of his son. "Now..." Sofu eased the child down further. "Push and he shall be free." Lord D bore down all his strength. With a heave, he pushed... And pushed...And pushed.
George finished up his vocal rendition of one of his number one hits, 'It's a Miracle.' With bated breath he waited. With a final successful push, Lord D feel back against the bed.
"Oh wow!" George grinned when the infant squalled in Sofu D's arms after he had been cleaned.
"You have done it child," Sofu announced with a tired smile. "You have brought another healthy male into our world." Sofu passed the child to JJ. "Have patience and allow me to clean you." Lord D had no strength with which to answer his father's words. "The separation was proper and complete. You will both be fine." Sofu D aided his son in expelling the after birth. Lord D was soon asleep even as his father cleaned his body.
"Chi Chi Ue," Count D walked over to wipe his brow.
"Let him sleep child," Queen Victoria took Count D's hand. "He has earned his rest. That is a fine child he has delivered." Count D gazed at his newest brother a moment more before he turned at the insistence of the high queen. JJ settled down with Lord D and his new son. His body was still damp in some places, but he was too tired to move.
"Are you satisfied?" Soofu A asked.
Sofu D hoped to walk past his brother to retrieve dry garments. "I would think that would be obvious," Sofu D grumbled. "Please excuse me I must change."
"Yes, you must," Soofu A answered catching his arm. "What you must change is your insolence and disobedience." Sofu D tried to yank his arm away, but he had no strength to defeat his eldest brother. "You were warned when you began this foolishness that it would not be without consequences."
Lord D moaned in his sleep then opened his lovely purple eyes. "Our child," He smiled at JJ then looked to see his son beside him. The tiny face was relaxed in slumber, with skin so pale he resembled the moon. "His eyes...Jemi..." Lord D could say no more as he noted his father facing his uncle. "What happens?"
"I don't know," JJ shook his head.
"You could choose a more opportune time to admonish your sibling," Queen Victoria said with her arms folded over her bosoms.
"Now is as good as ever, the child is delivered,"Soofu A yanked Sofu D to him. "As you were warned, you have defied me once too many times." Sofu D pulled against the hold. Count D dashed forward but stopped. He tried to move yet none of his limbs seemed to be cooperating. "You will not interfere. Do you really think you have a chance at besting me."
"Only a coward would not try," Count D struggled against the hold.
"Admirable words child," Soofu A smiled. "And though I find you amusing, I must see to your grandfather." Silently, the words entered Count D's mind. "I do nothing that is not out f love for your family." Count D found the words hard to believe when Soofu A turned a frown on his younger brother. "You have the thought that you have everything under control and yet you have several times made your children spoiled. They have not the knowledge of the consequences of their actions and so it seems to me that neither do you. You suffered the pain of your child's pregnancy and now must you suffer your own." Sofu D gasped falling to his knees as his body was ripped asunder.
"O-Ji-Ue!" Count D cried out unable to move so much as a finger to aid.
"There now," Soofu A held his brother through his accommodation. "Easy, there, there," Soofu A cradled his brother in his arms soothing him through the transition of pregnancy. "You will be alright. Just relax and let it come." Sofu bore the pain with the strength that only his age allowed.
"What..." Sofu D glowered when he could again move. Count D fell forward released from his great uncle's hold. "What have you done?" Soofu A simply smiled at his brother. "Who will guard my children now that I am incapacitated?" Soofu A said nothing. Count D stared aghast at his grandfather where he sat on the floor. Both of Sofu D's slender hands rested on his flat tummy as he looked with horror upon the first born.

Rain walked inside of the consulate feeling the freshening of the air long before they were met with the joyous news. Dee held Ryo in his arms kissing his face and lips. "I hated leaving you there," Dee confessed. He released Ryo to look over Bikky and Rain.
"We're fine," Bikky stretched then flexed his muscles at Dee. Dee laughed at his son shaking his head. "You had to get JJ here. We all did our job." Bikky stepped aside so that Miaka could rush off to find her grandfather and her aunt. "I smell strange things."
"Bad?" Rain tasted the wind as Ryo scented as well. "No, not bad, but strange."
"I thought you said that Lord D had the baby," Ryo mused. "I still smell a pregnant Kami."
"I don't know," Dee walked with them down the hall. "They have not left the room yet."
Jill fell in step no longer finding it odd to see Ryo, Bikky and Rain able to scent, or taste another's presence. "There is definitely a pregnant Kami here now." Ryo affirmed walking into the antechamber. Faith stood at attention with a formal bow. Soofu A opened the door. "The child?" Ryo asked after a polite greeting.
"The child is healthy," Soofu A grinned. "A beautiful boy that Lord D can be proud of." Soofu A noted the silence then smiled. "Yet I am sure the scent of a first generation in bloom has reached those of you who can appreciate it." Faith frowned. She had thought that Count D would not bear another child, and Lord D had only just released one. "My younger brother will need your care and protection as he finds himself in a delicate position."
"But, he would never do such a thing," Bikky said with a shake of his head.
"Not willingly anyway," Ryo said. He placed a hand on Bikky's shoulder.
"Willing or not," Soofu A dismissed them all with a wave of his hand. "Nevertheless, he is."
Dee watched him go shaking his head at the ancient. "He claims that he adores his younger brother and his family."
"Sometimes that is hard to believe." Leon looked into the room that was silent. Would Count D come out soon, or stay with his father. Leon got comfortable to wait for his lover. "But D told me to make sure that I never tried to figure out what went on in a brain that old. Sometimes I am inclined to agree. This seems like one of those times." Leon pulled his chair over. "You guys head on home, I will keep you posted."
Jill smiled at her partner. They had been through so much together. "If you need me to bring you dinner, let me know." Jill was smiling as she left the room. Mykial smelled the woman long before she would have collided with him. It was not the residual scent of the fresh born Kami but something unique. She was fresh and the smile on her face intrigued him. Rather than get out of her way he caught her when she stumbled into him. "Oh," Jill laughed. "Sorry."
"Don't be sorry, I'm not." Mykial winked one of his eyes so like his uncles. "When something so wonderful falls into your arms there is nothing to do but say thank you." Jill laughed a bit her cheeks turning pink. "Before I fall madly in love with you." Mykial said his accent from the mountains of Eastern Europe thick and, to Jill's mind, sexy. "There are two things I must know."
"Madly in love?" Jill tried to step back but his hands around her waist kept her in place. She looked up into the pale face and saw the seep set green eyes surrounded by a lush fall of thick waving brown hair. Her hands on his arms gave testimony to strength he possessed.
Mykial could smell her attraction and would not let her run from it. It poured from her in waves that any human would be envious of if he could but sense it. "Is there some man I would have to bury to have you?"
"Nothing so drastic as all that," Jill laughed at his unorthodox way of asking if she were single. "But I am not seeing anyone."
"And..." Mykial leaned in closing his eyes. Jill tried to back away as he sniffed her. "Do you fear me?" Jill frowned at the odd question until she saw the fangs that he did not try to hide. Fear put strength to her body as she shoved away from him. "I can not taste you," Mykial assured her. "Not in that way." The sensual slide of his eyes over her form let her know exactly in what way he could. "Your blood is not just hemoglobin and water, but has the mixture of seraphim tears. No reason we can not know one another." Jill stood as if transfixed her mind reeling with possibilities.

Count D stared down at his grandfather where he still sat upon the floor. Count D reached to help him stand his face in flames. "I am fine child." Sofu did not reject the aid shocking Count D with his seeming frailness. Count D aided Sofu into a chair. In their brief contact, Count D could sense the child inside of his grandfather's body. "You are upset." Sofu's voice was soft so as not to disturb Lord D and JJ. Queen Victoria inclined her head to her friend before she pulled the exhausted George from the room with no protest on his part.
"I am not upset," Count D bristled. "I am angry." Sofu laughed at the succinct clarification. "Leon would use a different word, but I refuse to be so vulgar." Count D sat beside his grandfather when Sofu pulled his sleeve indicating that he should do so. "Why would he do such a thing to you?"
"You say that as if he has harmed me," Sofu smoothed a hand over Count D's hair. If his grandson had been a cat he was sure each hair would be standing on end. Truly Count D was just sort of hissing. "As for why... Because he loves me."
"If that is his definition of love, I would despair to ever earn hatred." Count D muttered with his lower lip almost out.
Seeing him now, Sofu was reminded that D was indeed just barely a child himself. "You do not understand, so much..." Sofu heaved a tired sigh. "But I felt it all as he held me in his arms. He loves me, and our family. Shhh..." Sofu placed a gentle finger on Count D's lips when he would protested. "I will tell you everything. In comparison with all of the other first generation, my family is the healthiest and most numerous. I do not know if you know this, but the Earth needs all the light it can get."
"So he asked if you loved your wife." Count D nodded realizing that the affirmation had been all that Soofu A had required.
"Now we must allow them to fully rest," Sofu got to his feet pulling Count D behind him. "I have a lot of explaining to do to your grandmother." Count D was almost laughing when Sofu opened the door.

Rain sat back in the car with a smile on his face. Ryo leaned back against his seat and when Rain shifted the wind he could scent him. Ryo had a calmness to him. It was soft yet had a distinct strength. Rain yawned leaning his head over onto the window. Firm, yielding and reassuring, that was Ryo. Rain woke up when Dee pulled into the garage of their home. "Come on sleeping beauty," Bikky jogged his arm. Rain blinked the got out of the car. He saw the large suitcase that Dee carried inside. Why was he... Then Rain gasped stomping inside when he recalled that Ryo would need that.
"If you boys are hungry," Ryo began but paused to see that Alicia had dinner set out on the table. The house was silent as she had put the small children to bed and gone upstairs. A note set in the middle: I was sure you guys would find some way of heating this. Good night... Alicia.
Bikky sat beside Rain. "Are you okay?" He whispered while heating his brother's food for him.
"Fine," Rain picked up his fork. "Thank you." He ate the food without tasting it. It was not cooked by Ryo, but he supposed it would do. He said nothing as dinner was finished. "Good night," Rain went upstairs leaving his family staring behind him in silence.
"Can you take him with you?" Dee whispered on their way upstairs. "We have another large suitcase he can fit inside of." Ryo laughed, even though, in his heart, he wept.

Having sent Count D off with Leon, Sofu began to walk the halls of the palace. He took his time thinking of his wife. He thought of the first time he ever saw her. She was a young girl then. She had stood watching as her mother made her entry into their homeland. Such a yearning Sofu saw in her eyes. Yearning for love, and she did not even get recognition. He had attempted to approach her, but the crowd swelled with voracious applause for her mother. When Sofu had looked up for her again, she was not to be found.
Weeks had passed, when Sofu found that same terrified girl again, she was no longer human. Thinking his presence was the approach of the sun she had hid from him. Sofu smiled thinking back to those times. Such decadence of the age. It seemed as if the times themselves were primed for them to fall in love. Her hair shining in the moonlight. It never failed to entrance him. Several times he had reached for it. It had lead to their first kiss. It had literally been his first kiss. Something in the way he tasted sent Aurora into a conundrum for she had devoured him. Sofu smiled thinking of his first taste of female love.
That night he had demanded she marry him. Looking back, Sofu had never regretted it. Even when they spent years, centuries apart, their hearts were connected on a level that he had never understood. Sofu D found lady Aurora where he had left her. The children were all asleep on the soft grass with the moon seeming to smile down upon them. Aurora sat trailing a hand over Aoi's hair.
Just like before. She sat in the light. It danced around the edges of her hair making her skin glow. He could tell that she knew he was there. His blood quickened inside his veins each beat of his heart calling her true name. "Smells like the child is fine..." Aurora stopped speaking as an odd taste around her husband came to her. "My love?" Lady Aurora got to her feet. The move was akin to wind bending grass in grace and fluidity. Aurora approached her husband with her hands outstretched and her senses alert. Something was not right. She could almost taste it, yet the reason alluded her. He could hide things from her so well. His powers had grown over the centuries that they had been together. "I know you are hiding something."
"I am pleased to see you," Sofu pressed a kiss to her lips. Aurora paused to linger over his lips. She always enjoyed kissing him. He was like a burst of life in her otherwise dead existence. Only now this burst was more like a kick in the teeth. Almost like the first time. His lips had seared her with their sweetness.
"Wow," Aurora stepped back. She could vaguely recall another instance when Sofu had that reaction in her. It was so long ago that she could not readily remember. In an instant she tugged her husband closer and kissed him. Their lips melded again and again.
"Love, the children may awaken," Sofu stepped back. "And we must speak."
"You taste so fresh," Lady Aurora licked her lips. Leaning in she licked him. His lips beckoned her as no treat ever had in mortal life or vampiric death. "The children are safe with their guardians, come with me to our bedroom." Aurora licked him again... And again. "First, tell me of this scent."
She gazed at him with those eyes that had first entranced him so long ago. Those eyes that could accuse him as she had done when Lord D had been abused. That could praise him when Lord D had been born, that could love him. Those eyes that he could not lie to. "I am in bloom," Sofu admitted. He sank to the ground taking comfort in the wild growing plants that surrounded him. Aurora stared at her husband the recently ingested blood fled her already pale face leaving her almost whiter than the moon itself. "I carry a child." Ever blunt when necessary, Sofu admitted to what his eldest brother had instigated in him.
"You carry a what?" Aurora stared in horror at her husband. His words entered her mind but refused to stay. She was transported back to the first and only time he had ever said those words to her a little over two thousand years ago. It was just the same, the moon glinting off his hair and pale skin, his scent so strong as to make her mouth water and her body weep in the way of human women in need. "A child?" Sofu nodded his grimace one of joy and misery as his wife sank to the grass beside him. "A child?" Sofu nodded again not sure how to explain. Aurora pulled Sofu into her arms holding his slender body close. Sinking into her love, Sofu held her tight as tears gathered. In her arms was the only safe place where his emotions were free.

Ryo walked to the bed with a towel rubbing the excess water from his hair. Dee sat on the bed watching with a smile on his face. Ryo would always be beautiful to him. His skin, light gold almost white. Those nipples. Seeing their pale blush of color brought moisture to Dee's mouth and he licked his lips swallowing. Ryo knew what Dee wanted. Tried to finish drying his hair faster. Dee got to his feet and pulled Ryo to the bed. His skin was still moist from the hot shower. Soft and fragrant. It was not a masculine scent, but it was not feminine. No way could Ryo's scent be called feminine. He was just... Ryo.
"My hair is wet," Ryo laughed when Dee silently took the towel from his hands.
"Shhh...." Dee placed a kiss under Ryo's ear. Ryo shivered. Dee knew his ears were sensitive. Dee took the damp towel. He began to slowly rub it over the damp locks. "Where's your brush?" Ryo held the silver backed brush to Dee. It was a beautiful object, heavy and antique. Rain had bought it for him for Christmas. Dee was gentle pulling it through the lush locks of Ryo's honey colored hair. Dee felt more than he heard the moan. Working the brush through until Ryo's hair shone in the lamp light.
"That's nice," Ryo leaned back when Dee pulled away.
"All dry," Dee grinned. Setting the brush aside. He leaned in to whisper in Ryo's ear. "Don't move." On the way to the bathroom, Dee shut out the light blanketing the room in semi-darkness. Ryo smiled and sat on the bed. He saw the well spaced candles on the dresser. Ryo inhaled. He focused on the candles and exhaled his lips pursed just a bit. First one, then another and another until all four flickered and came to life filling the room with a low orange glow. He turned around to light the ones on the night stands gasping to see Dee standing and watching. "That was beautiful."
Ryo looked down. "I didn't move." If Dee did not not know him so well he would have thought the move practiced and coy. But the pink in Ryo's cheeks was genuine. Ryo sat still waiting for the approach he knew was coming. Dee walked over until he stood directly between Ryo's legs. Dee slide down to his knees in front of Ryo drinking in the exposed chest with his eyes. Dee felt the firm muscles of Ryo's thighs pushing his legs further apart he went in closer. Ryo became pliant in Dee's hands. He knew that Dee would take care of him. He always did.
"You in candlelight," Dee whispered. His lips ghosting over the taut muscles in Ryo's stomach. "One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen."
"One of?" Ryo laughed when Dee's tongue flicked over his stomach.
Dee knew Ryo was ticklish and delved into his belly button before he lifted his head to say. "Compared to you in sunlight, in moonlight, in the dark, and under any light source available." Ryo laughed again his skin heating. Whether from embarrassment or Dee's mouth he was not sure. Dee pulled the towel around Ryo's waist apart exposing his lover. "I won't stop until you scream."
"Ah," Ryo leaned back on his arms in the bed sinking into the sensation of being swallowed inside a warm, wet cavern. Ryo tossed his head back feeling his own warm hair brush across his back. Dee played. He opened his mouth wide sucking Ryo in his tongue in overdrive on the most sensitive part of flesh. Ryo squirmed, his hips rising and falling in time to Dee's movements. Dee played with Ryo. One moment his mouth was as a vacuum giving Ryo the deep suction he craved, the next moment his tongue flicked over the tip taking every drop that Ryo produced. "Dee..."
Dee loved when Ryo groaned his name. "Lay back, let me have all of you."
Ryo fell upon the bed. "I'm yours."
"Then spread 'em wide," Ryo complied, his face so hot he feared it would glow red in the candlelight. Dee pressed his face into the heavy globes sucking them into his mouth. With his tongue he massaged them causing Ryo to cry out his pleasure. "That's right," Dee crooned lovingly pressing his lips to them. "Tell me how it is." Dee licked lower, and lower, he braced his hands under Ryo's bottom, holding the perfect mounds of his backside. Ryo knew it was coming. He whimpered at the heat his body built up in anticipation. "Tell me..."
"Hai, oh Kimochi," Dee grinned when he heard it, and pushed his tongue forward. Ryo gasped . "Ah... Sugoi," Dee licked and probed the ridged opening tasting his lover. Ryo smelled of soap and tasted like... Dee could not describe it, but he licked, he sucked, he kissed, he devoured his lover as a starving man devours a meal.
"Get ready," Dee pressed a finger to the now wet opening. Ryo's hips seemed to move on their own raising up, inviting Dee inside. Dee went back to Ryo's member. He loved the feel of it in his mouth, especially when Ryo was ready, as he was now, ready to explode with the right pressure. Dee was ready to give him that pressure. Ryo whined long and low building to a crescendo of joy at the wet finger that invaded his body. The flames of the candles seemed to dance in tune to his increased breathing. Dee pressed another finger in. He knew where to go. Dee brushed lightly against the rough patch inside his lover. Ryo cried out pouring his creamy release into Dee's hungry mouth.
When Ryo opened his eyes, he was being deliciously kissed by Dee. Tasting himself in Dee's mouth was enough to arouse him all over again. Dee's hands were working his nipples while his tongue drove Ryo to madness. "Dee!" Ryo feared the plea in his voice. Was he so desperate even now? Knowing that Dee would be in him in moments and still he begged. "Dee..." Ryo whimpered when Dee took his time to lick His chest and suck his nipples. "Dee..." Dee grinned at the urgency in Ryo's voice. He knew Ryo was ready bit wanted to be careful. He took a moment to apply a generous amount of lubrication to his member before he pressed it past the tight ring of muscle. Ryo lay back on the bed relaxing, accepting Dee inside of him.
"You're so hard already," Dee purred nibbling Ryo's lips. He interwove their fingers as his hips began a slow, thorough pounding. "My Ryo," Dee sealed their mouth even as he closed his eyes losing all sense of time, space and reality. His world revolved around the beautiful man writhing under him. "Open your eyes," Dee demanded pulling Ryo' legs until his knees were at his sides. "Open your eyes and let me watch when you cum." Ryo cried out his breathing faster and faster. The candles guttered as if they too were close to the edge. Ryo could feel his body cease to exist. It centered on one thing only and that was Dee. Dee moved inside of him, thrusting, twisting, driving him beyond mad with pleasure. Ryo sucked in a deep breath. He knew Dee watched. His eyes went so dark the candles guttered down to almost out. They burst forth with bright flare as he poured cream onto his stomach his body massaging Dee to completion. Ryo's name was a litany of praise and desire as Dee filled him with his own release.
