Reflections of Eternity
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. We hope you enjoy this epilogue. Itachi and Shisui are heading to the beach!
Chapter 12
The island was a beautiful one, but Itachi doubted there were really any Greek islands that weren't. Of course, the island's best selling points as a honeymoon location for them were its remoteness and the fact Kakashi had generously lent them his summer villa. Currently, Itachi was lounging on some white sand and reading his paperback while Shisui was making a few calls. Mostly to assure Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, a little dragon baker, and their more social coworkers that they had arrived safely.
Shisui slinks over ass gracefully as a panther, hiss phone nowhere to be seen as he spread himself out on the enormous each blanket. He'd insisted that a beach blanket wouldn't be good enough unless it was big enough to cover a king-sized bed. His reasoning? He didn't want to get sand in uncomfortable places if the blanket decided to wrinkle up.
He glances at the book in Itachi's hands and chuckles. "An enthralling read, I take it?" He'd half expected a science fiction novel, but wasn't surprised to see a harlequin romance in front of Itachi's nose.
"Mhm. Very." Itachi turns another page, pretending not to pay Shisui much mind. He stretches, laying back against the ridiculously large blanket clad only in a pair of sapphire blue swimming trunks. He'd forgone his usual ponytail.
Shisui props his head up with one hand and gazes lovingly at his husband. "You know, I'm still not sure if you're trying to look even more tempting than usual or if its just the rose-colored honeymoon glasses that make you look even more stunning."
Itachi shakes his head, smiling as he sets his book down. He rewards Shisui with a teasing kiss. "I don't have to try. You'd likely still try to seduce me even if I was wearing a potato sack."
"True, though I would also be more than happy to seduce you even if you were wearing nothing at all." Shisui reaches for Itachi's swimming trunks and pulls teasingly on the waistband. "You know, Europe is rather famous for its love of nude beaches."
Warning Lemon
"And you're rather famous for having an exhibitionist streak." Itachi squeaks, still running his fingers through his new husband's hair. All the while fighting back a blush, Shisui did seem to adore flustering him more than almost anything else. "You're lucky that I love you and this is a remote beach."
"Can you blame me for wanting to show you off? I think that the idea of driving others mad with jealousy over you is wonderfully entertaining." Shisui chuckles with an edge of playful sadism as he leans into Itachi's caress. "Of course the marks I leave all over you would make it very clear that others can look, but they can't touch."
"You do have a talent for intertwining romance with your deviancy." Itachi kisses Shisiu's nose with a smile. He gives a cursory glance at the beach, deciding no one was close by. It was safe. "And since it's our honeymoon, I'm feeling rather generous. So, I'll indulge you as long as we don't get caught." He slips out of his trunks with one fluid motion. Discarding them onto the blanket.
"I've been looking forward to seeing you laid out like a god against the sand." Shisui pulls Itachi into his arms, his interest in seeing his husband's divinely naked form completely unconcealed by the thin red trunks he wore. He strokes Itachi's half-hard cock smugly. "And I can see that you aren't opposed to the idea."
Itachi groans at the seductive touch, his face turning as red as Shisui's trunks. Reaching over, he decides those needed to be dispensed with. Immediately. So, he yanks them off rather quickly. "I'm open to the possibility. What was that you said about leaving marks all over me?"
Shisui smirks and dips his head down to bite Itachi's collarbone, quickly leaving a bright red mark in Itachi's lovely skin. "I said that I would leave marks all over you so that when we're out in public and I feel like bending you over the side of the fountain, anyone who looks at you will know that you belong to me."
A small moan escape his throat. Shisui's words were enough to make his heart pound and the blood rush in his ears...and a few other places. "Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit possessive?"
Itachi chuckles, pinning Shisui on his back against their blanket. He couldn't help but smile at the beautiful picture his husband made laying there...naked and as glorious as a Greek God. And yet somehow Shisui had chosen to be with him not just in one life, but two. The knowledge was enough to make Itachi's heart swell with love and a fierce determination to be the one to render Shisui speechless for once.
Shisui's eyes flash with anticipation. "I think you might have told me that once or twice. But it looks like it's very much an Uchiha trait. You're the same way when you look at me." And especially when he insisted on having Shisui on his back. To Shisui, it was the most beautiful hypocrisy in the world.
"I suppose i can't argue that point without being labeled a hypocrite." Itachi shrugs gracefully, leaving a trail of slow kisses and playful bites from the curve of Shisui's graceful neck all the way to his powerful inner thighs. He'd find a way to make his lover squirm.
Shisui groans and tilts his head back against the blanket. "Itachi, you brat." His hard, red cock moves with the subtle shifting of his hips, bobbing back and forth between his legs.
"Was that a complaint I heard?" Itachi slowly drags his tongue over the tip of Shisui's arousal. Yes, this stunt would likely ensure he couldn't walk in the morning, but Shisui could always carry him anywhere he needed to go. "Does that mean you want me to stop?" He takes Shisui into his mouth, sucking gently before releasing him with a loud pop. Itachi looks up at Shisui expectantly, putting on a grand show of utilizing his 'fuck me eyes' as his husband was fond of calling them.
Instead of snapping like he had a number of other times, Shisui forces a smirk onto his face and slowly sits up. "No, I don't want you to stop." He winds his fingers into Itachi's hair and presses Itachi's head back down a few inches. "Did you wear the plug I got you like a good boy?"
Itachi swallows hard as he teases his lover with tongue and even adding just a hint of teeth. Why did Shisui suddenly look like a wolf who was about to devour his prey? He could feel his cheeks burning even hotter. He squirms a bit after letting go of Shisui. "Yes, I wore it."
"Good, then you'll be nice and slick and ready." Shisui drags Itachi into his lap and turns him away to face the gradually rising tide. A hand presses against Itachi's stomach and the other crawls up slowly to caress Itachi's throat. "So what do you think, Itachi? Should we keep going until we're half consumed by the ocean?"
"If you live up to your promises as beautiful as the ocean is, I doubt I'll notice it even if it tries to drown us." Itachi shivers at the possessive caress and Shisui's wicked mouth. Deciding to encourage his lover, he brushes himself against Shisui's arousal.
Shisui chuckles darkly and pulls the toy from Itachi's backside. "Then when we're done here, I'll make sure to get you into the marble bathtub." He thrusts up into Itachi's slickened heat and pulls his husband tightly against him. With his fingers around Itachi's throat, he can feel every pulse of Itachi's blood through his veins, every beat of his frantic heart. "And you will look like a king in my arms."
A lewd moan that Itachi barely recognizes as his own voice escapes his lips. No matter how many times they came together like this, it never failed to be addictive. To make his heart sing and his entire body grow hot with desire. He wiggles his hips, rocking against his lover encouragingly. "That shouldn't be hard. I already feel like one whenever I'm with you."
Shisui hides his smug smile by biting down on the curve of Itachi's neck. Truly, that soft, graceful neck was one of the most sensitive places he'd ever kissed on Itachi. And he'd certainly tried kissing every inch he could reach. "You are mine, Itachi." He thrusts up, punctuating every word with a strike to the spot he'd memorized long ago. "And you should never forget that."
Itachi gasps feeling Shisui's teeth against his neck as his lover's thrusts drive him into a beautiful insanity. It was all he could do to tilt his head to the side, exposing more of his neck as he rocks against Shisui with a reckless abandon. "And you're mine."
"Forever." It was what Shisui had promised after all. And he has no reason to ever doubt that he will be able to keep that promise. No one would ever be able to match Itachi. Not for him, not in any lifetime. The warmth that blossoms in his heart spreads like a wildfire to every limb, every nerve, every cell in his body. "Itachi." He takes only a moment to turn Itachi to face him and gazes up into those beautiful smoky eyes. "I will love you forever."
"And I'll love you for even longer." Itachi smiles, capturing Shisui's lips in a desperate kiss. It still only swallows half of his moans as they move together. Faster and faster. Desire and need intertwining in every inch of his body and the entirety of his soul. His eyes turn hazy as he surrenders to the ecstasy.
Finding his own release, Shisui smiles against Itachi's neck. He flexes his toes, pleased by the cool, wet sensation against his skin. He runs his fingers through Itachi's hair and presses a kiss to his lips. Here, he renews that vow. Because now…they have all of the time in the world.
