Only When I Sleep

by elana-chan

You're only just a dreamboat

Sailing in my head

You swim my secret ocean

Of coral blue and red

Your smell is incense burning

Your touch is silken yet

The world was blue and red to Oriya. Solemn blue eyes looked around and took the surroundings with calm interest. He finally noticed that he was lying on water, his brown locks spread around his body like spilled blood on water and the rhythmic waves a soothing massage to his prostrate body. Overhead, the red sky was barren, no clouds and even no sun. It was just red, red as fresh blood. There was no land. Just water, crystal clear water that has no bottom. He was alone.
Solitude. Oriya once again closed his eyes and enjoyed the serenity of the place. No sound can be heard, even from him. This dream always has no sound in it. He knew it was a dream, the same reoccurring dream that he had memorized what was going to happen. And he waited in anticipation for him...
It was always the smell that warns him of his presence. It was one of a kind. He just knew that it was. His smell reminded him of many things. Of blood and musk, of incense and smoke. It was all things and yet it was not. But still, that smell would never fail to make him smile for he knew that his touch would soon come next.

It reaches through my skin

Moving from within

And clutches at me breast

And Oriya was not disappointed. Hands soon followed the mysterious scent and despite the many times it happened in his dream, Oriya would still let out a silent gasp of surprise as those hands christened his skin with their silken touch. Those hands that seemed so familiar to him now, with their long elegant fingers dotted with a few calluses. He felt those hands leave their silken caresses on his skin also, weird as it was, in his spirit, within him. It was heavenly. Oriya can't help but close his eyes at the silken touch as it roamed throughout his skin. He let out a small whimper, which he knew would not be heard as his eyes close involuntarily, and would deny him another chance to see his mysterious dream man.

But it's only when I sleep

See you in my dreams

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

Oriya's silent plea to finally see the man in his dreams seemed to be heard by some higher power when he felt his eyes move a fraction to allow him to see through. His now bright chocolate brown eyes took the figure above him. The slight angular face was shadowed but he can see the tall and slight built of the body before him. Short hair of color that shone like gold or silver, he can't determine which one, shadowed the face that he longed to see. He knew those locks to be silky as they looked; he remembered burying his hands on them from the past dreams he had. He took in everything he can because he knew that he'll never a chance like this again.
The time given to him to get a glimpse of the being in his dreams seemed to over as his eyes yet again involuntarily closed and he eventually gave in to the lose of his sense of sight and surrendered to the onslaught of his other senses.

But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But it's only when I sleep

Though he can't hear the man move, he can feel the breath that wafted across his lips before feeling the other's soft lips on his own. His kisses tasted just like his scent. Blood, musk, smoke. It seemed like everything in it can be tasted but at the same time there's no taste at all. The gently and silky caresses on his skin seemed to inflame him even when he's still floating on water. The water had become still but his world was starting to spin from the sensations he was feeling.
Another kiss followed but this time, it was not the gentle exploring kisses that the man gave him. Hard, hot passionate kisses that involved tongues ravaged his mouth and left him breathing heavily and his senses reeling. But he knew these were just appetizers to what was to follow. His body became taut with excitement as he waited for those lips to do their magic on him.
Hands began their sensual dance on his skin as the other's lips hovered over the skin on his neck. Oriya knew what was to happen next as he arched his neck and tentatively placed his hands on the other man's silky locks. But after weeks of having the same dream, Oriya would never get used to the feeling that was to come next. The man's lips descended on his neck and an intense feeling washed over Oriya that made lose all consciousness for a mere second.
It was truly mind-blowing. Oriya still can't figure out what did the other man do to him every time those lips latched on his neck but the feeling that always follows it was really indescribable. It left his world spinning and his mind and body turned inside out.
Oriya knew that his dream was ending. He can already feel the pull of reality on his dream self. He tried to prolong it by trying to capture the man's hand but failed. He silently whimpered at the loss of contact and the upcoming end of his dream as his senses tugged fiercely at his dream self.
Before finally giving in with resignation to his body's demands to wake up, Oriya felt those soft lips on his. The man in his dreams was giving him one last kiss for the night. Just like every other night he had the dream. And Oriya knew then that it was a kiss of promise. A kiss that he would soon be back in his dreams.
Oriya sighed in pleasure and longing as the kiss ended, the hands left his body and the scent of him finally vanished. The dream's finally over and he was now ready to wake up and face another day, the feel of those lips and hands and the scent of him still ingrained in Oriya's senses.

To Be Continued...
