Part II
"I think this whole suspension thing is a bunch of bull," X-Pac said. He, Scott, and Kevin were leaving a bar and heading to the nearby hotel. Even though Kevin wasn't allowed at the arena, he could still get a room in the hotel room as his friends and hang out with them. "I think you should sure Flair's ass off!"
Unable to stand any more of X-Pac's mindless prattle, Kevin drifted deep into his own thoughts. It had only been a week since his encounter with Kane and he hadn't seen hide or hair of him since. According to Hall, Kane was out due to the attack. Or at least it was written that way. But Kane didn't seem to be ailing when he met up with him in that dark alley. And he'd been having the strangest dreams lately.
The setting was always the same. He was standing on the shore of a beach on a clear, moonlit night. The air was crisp and fresh. He was always alone.. at least that's the way it seemed. All he could see was gleaming white sand and the cool, rippling ocean. Ahh… The Ocean.. He could hear the waves crashing in his ears. His senses always seemed heightened in his dreams. He could see for miles and the smell of the salty air drove him wild. I can almost smell it now... Something called to him from over the waves. He was drawn to it and before he knew it, he was far from the sandy shore. Floating in the ocean, he felt more at peace than he had in quite some time. He was lost in thought when he felt something swim past him beneath the water. Suddenly, something broke through the surface to the right of him; it's long hair being flipped back from the momentum. It turned to him with its dancing blue eyes and grinned at him, it's white teeth sparkling in the light.
Are you real?
The figure nodded, still smiling. It raised its hand and beckoned him to come closer. Without any hesitation, he swam to it, his heart pounding in his ears. For the rest of the night, the two swam together, never exchanging a word, needing only to read each other's thoughts. They were laying on the shore as the sun slowly rose over the horizon. He seemed familiar and yet so very different. Like we've met before...
I love you.
I know. I love you too.
Ouch! Kevin looked down and saw that his hand was bleeding. Same hand I cut before... same place. His love brought Kevin's injured hand to his face and slowly ran his tongue over the cut. He pulled his hand away and saw that the wound was now healed. He looked at his love. He leaned over and ran his tongue over his blood stained lips before dipping it into his mouth, pulling his fantasy man onto top of him as he deepened the kiss. He loved the way the long, brown hair felt against his face and the man's dark, musky scent in his nostrils. After a few seconds, he broke the kiss, gasping for air. I love the way you taste.
You mean the blood?
Yes... Especially the blood.
Good... That makes me happy.
When can I be with you?
You and I are connected, love. But you must pass the test first.
When?
Soon, love. Soon.
"Soon," Kevin said, still half daydreaming.
"That's right, man," X-Pac continued. "You'll be back in the ring before you know it!"
"Huh? What? Yeah… whatever... I'm gonna go back to my room and rest... I feel very tired!"
He entered the hotel and was in his room in minutes. Sighing loudly, he began to undress. Over the past week, those dreams were beginning to take its toll on him. Every time he closed his eyes, it was there. Those eyes... That mouth... That rugged, masculine aroma... All were driving him insane. He had even began sleeping naked, the heat of his dreams causing him to shed what little clothes he wore to bed. After listening all night to X-Pac gloating how they had the Big Show on their side, Kevin finally settled into bed, waiting for sleep to claim him.
After a few hours, a familiar scent wafted into the room through the open window. Within minutes, it filled the room. Kevin shifted in his sleep, kicking off the covers and finally ended up on his back. He was deep in his dream, laying on a beach with his love in the moonlight. It was all going along as usual, but something was different... something had changed. He was filled with new insight.
How long is this going to go on, Kane?
You know who I am?
Yes... I don't know how... but yes.
Then the time has come. This may be my last night with you.
What do you mean 'may be'?
It all depends on whether you pass the test.
If I do pass?
Then we can spend eternity together.
And if not?
Let's not think of it.
He leaned over and nibbled on Kevin's earlobe. He continued moving down, licking past his neck and down his chest. Electricity surged through Kevin's veins as he felt his lover gently nip and suck at his nipples. He couldn't tear his gaze away from those blue eyes as he moved lower, his tongue flicking in and out of his belly button.
Lower... Kevin pleaded.
As you wish.
Taking Kevin in his hand, he stroked him lightly. Seeing the burning desire in his lover's eyes, he decided to end the torture and give him what he wanted. Eyes still locked on Kevin's, he slowly took him into his mouth and down his throat.
Sweet merciful heavens! Kevin yelled as the warmth engulfed him. He threw his head back and arched his body off of the sandy beach, forcing himself deeper into the waiting mouth. Want more... Need more... He tangled his fingers in Kane's long locks as his hips bucked wildly against the other man. So close... So very close... More... Please... Almost there... Almost...
Come, love. Please.
No longer able to contain himself, Kevin thrust himself upwards once more before he felt his seed flow forth into Kane's waiting mouth. His body shook and trembled as he let loose a loud, deep moan. Looking down into those dancing blue eyes, he knew he had to pass the test.
I will pass.
I know.
Kane crawled up Kevin's body and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
I have been alone for so long. And now I've found you. Or you found me. You would cut yourself with a knife with my blood on you... idiot!
He laughed quietly and then sighed.
But you will pass tomorrow night. I have complete faith in you. And then... eternity...
Kevin awoke with a start. His body was covered in sweat and the sheets were damp. He looked down and saw his essence covering his leg and the blanket. "What the hell was that?" he whispered. He got up and shuffled to the bathroom. After cleaning off his leg, he looked at himself in the mirror. "Tomorrow night... I will not let him down... I will not fail..."
