"You'd think we'd planned this or something," Kardia laughed. They both were wearing black flip-flops, white tank tops, and blue-and-white swim shorts.
"So where are we going?" Degel asked impatiently as he and Kardia walked down through the temples, hands linked.
"It's a secret," Kardia replied. "I told you that." The Aquarian pouted, making the Scorpio laugh and kiss him on the forehead.
"Hey, guys!" a familiar voice yelled as they approached the Gemini Temple. Defteros stood against a column, watching them as they approached the last few stairs.
"Gods, I haven't seen you in forever, Deffie!" Kardia exclaimed, giving the tall muscular man a hug. "How've you been?"
"Great, actually. I'm still trying to get used to all this attention, though. Now that more people know about me, they all swarm me when I'm around, and it's kind of uncomfortable... Although, I can't complain about all the hot babes." The trio laughed heartily. "So what are you guys up to?"
"Kardia's taking me for lunch," Degel said, then added with an angry look, "but he won't tell me where."
"Come 'ere, Def," Kardia said, leaning in and whispering something into his ear.
"Oh, yeah, I've heard that's a good place," Defteros assured. "I was on my way down there, actually. You guys want a lift?"
"Well, since you're going that way, too, I guess we can," Degel said. "And thank you."
"No prob," replied the Gemini. "Hang on!" He rested one of his hands on both of their shoulders and teleported them to the edge of the beach. Degel's hearing was overloaded as he heard the words "Congrats, Kardia and Degel!" being shouted in his ears. He looked up and beheld an amazing sight.
All of the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Saints were gathered there. In the center, there stood a big tent with a sign that said, "CONGRATS, KARDIA AND DEGEL!" on it. One of the tables had big stacks of beach towels on it; the others had platters of food and beverages.
Degel gasped, his hands covering his mouth in shock. Kardia watched as the sweetest smile spread across his lover's face, happy that Degel liked the surprise.
"Did you plan this, Kardia?" the Aquarian asked, his voice high-pitched and full of happiness.
"With a little help," Kardia admitted, grinning at him as the Aquarian cried happy tears. "Well, except the banner. Do you like it?"
"Like it?! Kardia, I fucking LOVE it!" He took the Greek's face in his hands, cramming his lips against Kardia's as the Saints erupted with cheers and whistles. The Scorpio smiled, returning the kiss just as passionately as his arms circled the Frenchman's waist.
"And I fucking love YOU, you idiot," Degel added after they finished kissing.
"And I fucking love you, too," Kardia said, grinning. "Let's go party." He took Degel's hand and led him over to the group of Gold Saints.
"Looks like somebody had some fun last night," Manigoldo jeered. A few of their comrades laughed heartily. Degel was confused until he remembered where Kardia kissed and bit him the previous night. He felt a large welt on his clavicle and one on his neck, where the tank top didn't cover.
"Shit!" Degel cursed, instinctively covering his neck with his hands. His and Kardia's faces were both bright red to the tips of their ears.
"I never thought I'd see the day when I found out that Aquarius Degel wasn't a virgin," Manigoldo laughed.
"Well, at least I don't screw the wanna-be whores at the inn," Degel countered. "It's all about quality." A loud "Oooooooh!" was heard as the Gold Saints made fun of Manigoldo.
"Hey Goldie, need some ice for that burn?" Aspros taunted. The entire group erupted in joyous laughter, even Asmita and El Cid (I know, right?! Shocking!).
"So you're saying Kardia's got an amazing dick," Defteros clarified.
"I'm saving this conversation for when I get drunk," Degel said.
"So you're saying I don't have an amazing dick?" Kardia questioned, crossing his arms.
"Ooh, this'll be good," Manigoldo said with anticipation.
"C'mon, guys, leave them alone," Asmita pleaded.
"Do you think I'd beg like that if it wasn't?" Degel retaliated against Kardia. "I wouldn't have screamed like a needy whore if you didn't have the dick of a God. Honestly, I wonder what the hell goes through your head sometimes."
"There's your answer, Deffie," Kardia grinned triumphantly, trying in vain to contain his laughter.
"What the hell is so hilarious?" Degel asked, his temper rising.
"You do realize that you just told all of our friends that I have the dick of a God, right?" The look of horror on Degel's face only led to more hysterical laughing. The poor Aquarian just stood there with his mouth agape and his eyes wide.
"Oh shit," Degel murmured, his voice gradually increasing in volume. "Oh shit, what've I done... My life is over... Ooooh shit... Somebody just kill me now..." By now he was slowly pacing, running his hands through his hair nervously.
"Umm... Is he okay?" Sisyphus asked.
"Yeah," Kardia smiled. "He does this kind of thing when he's nervous. I've seen it quite a bit. It's better to just let him do it. I help him if it lasts over ten minutes, but he's usually fine by that time."
"I don't know about that," Aldebaran said. "He looks pretty shaken." The Gold Saints watched Degel walk back and forth, still murmuring to himself, for about ten minutes; he didn't look like he was going to stop any time soon.
"Okay, time to help," Kardia announced. He walked over to the ever-pacing Degel, standing in his way to get him to stop. Then, he hugged the Frenchman around the neck, stroking his hair gently before rubbing his back.
"Shhhh... Calm down, baby," the Scorpio whispered in his ear. "Everything's fine; you're gonna be okay. You're scaring yourself over nothing. Just calm down." The Gold Saints watched in awe. Degel's head snapped up, then he immediately calmed down and wrapped his arms around Kardia's waist.
"Sorry," Degel murmured sheepishly. "I'm just... scarred by my own actions."
"It'll be fine. If they ever mention it again, you could just freeze 'em or something." The Scorpio smiled at his lover, and the Frenchman smiled back. "Let's go have some fun."
OoOoOoOoO
After an hour or two of swimming and beach volleyball, Sisyphus announced that it was time to eat. All of the Saints lined up by the tent and got their food. There were many jokes said, even more laughs, and for once, everyone seemed happy.
As soon as everyone finished eating, Kardia climbed up on a picnic table and called for everyone's attention. The Saints created a large circle as he climbed back down so that everyone could see.
"I have something I'd like to say," Kardia said, beckoning Degel to come over to him. After Degel arrived in the spot he was supposed to stand, Kardia started his speech: "You all know that I've called you here for a very important reason, and I'll get there eventually. I actually have some sort of a speech written out in my head, so at least try to be nice, since this is my first-ever public speaking experience." The Scorpio took a deep breath. "From the first time I met Degel, I knew he was something special. Even though he acted like a cold-hearted asshole from time to time, I began to understand his reasons better once we became closer; I mean, it wasn't like we had a choice, since he's what's kept my heart from killing me, but we still ended up becoming friends. He smiled and laughed more often once we knew a little more about each other - and you can thank me later for that." The crowd of Saints chuckled and murmured a little before quieting again.
"But his friendship wasn't the only thing I admired about him. Not once have I ever seen him falter in his hardships. Whether he was at his breaking point during training or duking it out on the battlefield, he pushed himself beyond all limits to become better and better at everything he did; and he still does this. To this day, I'm still amazed by his perseverance.
"After our resurrection, the first thing he did was look for me. And I have to say I was really, really touched by that. And when he found me, we came back to Sanctuary to start a new life. It was at that time that I realized just how strong our friendship really was, and for once, I had hope for a future with Degel.
"I still remember the day, four months ago, when I found out he not only liked me, but loved me. It was the day we both confessed to being gay, and he said that the person he liked was in Sanctuary. And I'm sitting there thinking, 'Who the hell is he talking about?' So I asked him all these questions. You'd think that a Greek guy in Sanctuary whose name starts with a 'K' would obviously be me. Well, I didn't think he meant me, so I was like, 'I got nothing'. And boy was he mad; like, he punch the wall so hard it cracked. I asked him why he was mad and he yelled, 'Maybe it's the fact that it's you! I fucking love you, you idiot!' The way he blew up was pretty cute." Degel blushed, and everyone laughed.
Kardia continued with a joyful smile. "Anyway, that's when I realized that hey, he fucking loves me! My dream came true! And we've been together ever since.
"Over these past few months, as we strengthened our relationship, I had a new thought. I've loved Degel for a long time, and I still do. He's the ice to my fire, the blue in my sky, and the beat of my heart." He turned toward Degel, who had happy tears falling down his face.
"Degel," Kardia said, taking Degel's hands in his, choking up, "ever since I met you, I've been head over heals for you. Every day I tell myself that I could spend the rest of my days with you, even if those days are shorter than I first thought. It's because of you that I can wake up every morning and tell myself that my life means something, and someone in this world has helped me become the man I am today." It was during this confession that Kardia began crying, too, and not just him; some of the other Saints were moved to tears by his confession.
Kardia resumed, struggling to keep his voice even. "When I fall down, you're always there to pick me up. When I'm sad or lonely, you talk to me and tell me things will turn out okay. When I'm mad, you calm me down. When I'm sick or in pain, you always comfort me and nurse me back to health. When I felt rejected by the world, you loved me when no one else did. I don't think I could ever repay you enough for all the things you've given me. But I hope this will suffice, for now."
The stars in the night sky could never have told Degel what was going to happen next. Kardia pulled a small black box from his shorts pocket and knelt on one knee. He opened the box, showing the beautiful silver-colored engagement band inside. Degel gasped and covered his mouth with his hands in shock.
"Degel," the Scorpio said, smiling as camera flashes came at them from all directions. "Will you marry me?"
A radiant smile spread across the Frenchman's face.
"Holy Athena, yes!" Degel exclaimed joyfully. Kardia took the Aquarian's left hand and slid the ring onto his finger. Everyone cheered and whistled as Degel practically tackled Kardia, pinning him against the sand as he kissed him passionately.
"I love you more than anything in the world, Kardia," Degel said happily, their foreheads pressed together as they sat up, Degel in Kardia's lap.
"I love you, too, Degel," Kardia replied, kissing him one last time before standing. The Frenchman clung to him tightly, and the ecstatic couple embraced for many long minutes, exchanging a few light kisses every now and then.
A sudden burst of music was heard as Manigoldo yelled, "How about some dancing?!" The song was 'Love Somebody' by Maroon 5. Degel moved out onto the makeshift dance floor, about a quarter of the people there following his lead. Soon, Degel was dancing in the middle with Kardia, surrounded by people.
OoOoOoOoO
More and more people joined in as night began falling over the beach. Aldebaran and Manigoldo had already gotten out the alcohol, and booze was spreading through the crowd like wildfire. The music became dirtier, the dancing becoming more sensual and passionate. Even El Cid had loosened the reins and was dancing with Sisyphus and the Gemini twins. Everyone had an overall great time, and as they were getting ready to leave, each gave the two grooms-to-be their congratulations one last time.
"Well, at least there isn't much to pick up, since people were sober enough to throw away their trash," Degel said to Kardia, Aspros, El Cid, and Sisyphus as he began to pick up the little bit of garbage that still remained.
"Hey, don't bother yourself with that, Degel," Sisyphus said. "We'll get it picked up."
"But I don't want to leave you guys here to pick up by yourselves," Degel replied.
"It's okay, Degel, really," Aspros assured him, taking the crushed cup from his hand. "It's your day, after all. Enjoy it while you can."
"Okay... Then, I guess we'll see you around, guys," Degel said. "Thanks for everything."
"Yeah," Kardia added. "Thanks for helping me keep this secret, too."
"No problem," replied Sisyphus. "We'll see you around." After some final goodbyes, Kardia and Degel wrapped an arm around each other's waists and silently headed up to the Scorpio Temple.
"Did you have a good time?" Kardia asked.
"Yeah," Degel replied. "But I'm tired now. And a little sore from dancing."
"Me too. I don't even think there were any slow dances. And that's no fun; I really wanted to slow dance with you."
"It'll be okay, I promise." Degel paused before continuing. "How did you do this? Like, how didn't I find out about this until today?"
"We have great friends," replied Kardia. "Did you like your surprise?"
"I loved it... But not as much as I love you." The Aquarian pulled the Greek into a slow, passionate kiss.
"I love you, too, my angel," the Scorpio replied, kissing him with just as much passion.
They entered the Scorpio Temple. Degel didn't realize that until he was pinned between a wall and Kardia's toned body, ending the kiss so that they could breathe a little. The Greek had one knee in between the Aquarian's legs, rubbing on Degel's hardening desire.
"Mmm, Kardia... Don't stop," Degel moaned lowly.
"Trust me, I won't," Kardia agreed. "We're gonna take it slow tonight, okay? You're still a little hurt from this morning, so I don't want to hurt you even more."
"Okay," Degel replied. Kardia grabbed Degel's chin, linking their lips in a slow and sensual kiss. His tongue slid into the Aquarian's mouth, dancing with his lover's tongue.
Meanwhile, the Scorpio's knee was moving up and down, creating delicious friction on Degel's member. His wandering hands massaged the firm buttocks before sneaking under the thin tank top, where the hard nipples already stuck out through the fabric. Kardia began to play with them, slowly rubbing and pinching, making Degel squirm and moan loudly.
Soon, Degel began to get impatient. He wanted to touch Kardia just as much as he wanted to be touched. He wasn't the kind of person to take things without giving something back in return.
His desires won out this time; he slid his hands over the Greek's torso before lifting the tank top over his head, making sure to touch every inch of the tanned muscles. Then, he changed their positions so that Kardia was between him and the wall, and started sucking on the Scorpio's neck. Kardia, breathing heavily, tilted his head to give Degel more space. The Aquarian's greedy hands ran through the Greek's stomach, stopped by another set of hands before reaching the shorts.
"Degel, slow down a bit," Kardia chided with a grin. "We have all the time in the world; there's no need to rush, darling." The Frenchman blushed and removed his hands from the Scorpio's abdomen, looking away.
"Sorry," he murmured. Kardia, noticing Degel's sudden abandonment, took him into his arms.
"You shouldn't be sorry, darling," the Scorpio said, petting his hair. "I know how hard it is to restrain yourself. But you might want to let me take control from here." He winked at Degel, who blushed incredibly.
At the nod of the Aquarian's head, Kardia picked him up and carried him to the bedroom. He shut and locked the door before setting Degel in the middle of the bed, then crawled over him and started kissing him along the neck. The Frenchman sighed contentedly, placing his hands on the Scorpio's shoulder blades. Soon, Kardia began licking and sucking slowly on the pale skin. Degel clung to the Greek's shoulders with force. The Scorpio slowly slid his tongue down to the Aquarian's chest and busied himself with the soft, pink nipples, slightly sucking and biting them as Degel squirmed and moaned loudly.
"Calm, Degel," Kardia said, stopping his act to calm his Ice Cube.
"I'm trying, but I can't help it," Degel whined. "It's hard to be calm when you do that; it feels too good." The Scorpio smiled seductively, running his hand along the Frenchman's thigh as he licked the edge of the small navel. Degel moaned, feeling a flame start to burn in his stomach.
"Well, I guess I can move on, then," the Scorpio said lowly, his voice hoarse with desire. He resumed licking the Frenchman's navel for a little while, then planted kisses on the pale skin all the way down to the waistband of the shorts, where Degel had a noticeably large bulge.
"I love it when you're excited for me," Kardia murmured, kissing the barrier that greatly irritated his lover.
"Only for you, mon cher," Degel assured, playing languidly with the blue waves of his lover's hair. The Greek rubbed his head against the soft hand like a cat would to its owner, making the Aquarian smile.
After a quick kiss on Degel's palm, Kardia pulled down his partner's bothersome swimwear. He threw them to the side somewhere, eyeing the hard piece of flesh that was presented to him. He wasted no time as he attached his lips to the firm extension and slowly danced along it with his mouth and tongue.
Degel was a bundle of raging hormones and horny desire; he was trying really hard to hold on and relax himself, but the hot and wet sensations on his member were too pleasurable for his reason to stay intact. And when the Scorpio engulfed his hard manhood in his wet and hot mouth, Degel screamed, gripping Kardia's long hair harshly, unable to prevent himself from losing part of his sanity in this torturous situation.
Kardia knew that it wasn't going to take long at this rate for Degel to reach an orgasm. He felt the Aquarian's hips move with his up-and-down movements. He looked up into his lover's face and almost choked in surprise.
Narrowed, violet eyes, begging for a release at that exact moment; mouth hung open, which let his partner hear his ragged breaths and howls of pleasure; completely red cheeks, the entire face covered in sweat. Never, in his entire life, had Kardia seen such a beautiful and sexy pre-orgasmic face.
"K-Kar... dia... P-please," Degel begged through breaks in his loud moans. "I... I c-can't... st-stay calm... Can't... hold it... any... m-more..." Kardia pulled off of the pulsating member and covered the tiny, leaking hole with his thumb just as Degel's loins were about to burst in pure, satisfied release. The Aquarian couldn't speak, surprised by his lover's abrupt stop to his blissful relief. He shivered, gasping for air and almost in tears at the throbbing pain in his member.
"It's okay, it's okay," Kardia tried assuring his partner, rubbing the Frenchman's side with his free hand and planting gentle kisses on his forehead. "Shh; take some deep breaths, it's okay."
"Why?" Degel whispered, on the verge of tears. "Why'd you stop?"
"Manigoldo just entered my temple, and I didn't think you'd want him to hear; you know that we wouldn't hear the end of it. I'm sorry for causing you pain, but I have to wait until he's gone." Degel soon recognized the Cancer's cosmos and nodded, sitting up gingerly. He bit his thumb and whimpered, trying not to scream as his member received some accidental friction from Kardia's hand. The Scorpio held his shaft tighter, a few languid drops escaping, and leaned Degel's head on his broad shoulder. He issued gentle kisses on the Aquarian's face, consoling him gently as Manigoldo finally left the Scorpio Temple.
"Okay, he's gone," Kardia confirmed. "It's okay now, Degel." The Aquarian nodded, having a little more control over himself. The Greek piled up some pillows behind the Aquarian so Degel could be propped up, then moved back down and started playing with his lover's member with his mouth and tongue. Degel moaned loudly, throwing his head back and clamping his hand in the Scorpio's hair; his control had been terminated by that talented mouth.
"Degel," Kardia said desperately, knowing that the Frenchman was getting really close again. "Degel, look at me. Please, I want to see your face when you go." The Aquarian understood and put his head back down, looking at the Greek with glossy eyes. His face once again showed the overwhelming pleasure he was feeling as his mouth projected intense screams of pleasure.
"KARDIAAAAA!" Degel screamed, arching his back and throwing his hips forward as a monstrous wave of ecstasy engulfed him. The volcano inside his stomach erupted with so much force that all he could see was pure white. Kardia almost choked on all of the liquid that poured out of his lover's member; he had to continue swallowing to accommodate the flow. He released a few drops of his own semen seeing the pure ecstasy on Degel's face.
After he nearly emptied himself, Degel closed his eyes and fell back on the mountain of pillows, whimpering and gulping air. He couldn't even speak; he had barely any air in his lungs. The hands that had entangled themselves in Kardia's hair relaxed, resting on his lower abdomen. The Scorpio leaned over his smaller figure, covering the open mouth of his lover with his own, letting the sweet liquid flow between them as they kissed deeply. It didn't last long, though; Degel had a momentarily limited air supply.
"You are so incredibly beautiful, my angel," Kardia murmured, taking his hand down to his shorts and lowering them. "Look at what you do to me." Degel looked down, seeing that the Scorpio's erection was already dripping precum.
"Whenever I'm around you," the Greek began again, "I feel this incredible attraction to you. And when we lay together, like we're doing now, this attraction turns into an unstoppable desire of wanting to show you just how deeply I love and need you; it's my way of telling you that I was, am, and will always be here with you, no matter what happens. When I asked you to marry me today, I felt in my gut that my love for you always has been, and will continue to be, an everlasting love. No matter where I am, I will be yours, and you will be mine, into infinity; I have been and will always be with you in body and soul."
"Oh, Kardia," Degel marveled. "I love you. I love you so much." He was in tears. His tears were of joy, the immense joy of being loved. Never in his life had he loved someone as much as he loved Kardia.
"I love you, too, Degel," Kardia said affectionately, rubbing the Aquarian's stomach gently. It wasn't meant to be sexual; just a loving caress, like someone would give a cat or dog. No matter what anyone thought, Degel loved that feeling; it was close to, if not more than, as satisfying as getting his back rubbed, and not just because it was Kardia who did it.
"What do you think, my little kitty-cat?" Kardia asked, noticing the Aquarian's satisfaction. "Should we continue, or do you still need time to recover?"
"I'm ready," Degel replied. "Meow." The Scorpio chuckled, burying his nose in the Frenchman's neck to plant a quick kiss there. "Hey, are we going to use that lubrication again?"
"I have other kinds, if you want to try something different," Kardia said suggestively. At his lover's nod, he opened a drawer in the bedside table. In it were a few different bottles and rectangular packages. "I know it seems weird that I have all this lube in this drawer, but truthfully, I bought all of it last week. Just so that I had it incase we did start to do this early."
"What do you got in there?"
"A couple of Trojan brand lubes; Continuous Silkiness, Tingly Warmth, Arouses & Intensifies, and my personal favorite, Arouses & Releases. Then there's the Fire & Ice and a bunch of edible lubricants."
"Edible lubricants?" Degel asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. Kinda weird, but it sounded enticing," Kardia replied. "I have a bunch of different flavors; strawberry, green apple, vanilla, passion fruit, mocha, raspberry... and that's it. So, do you wanna try a different one, or stick with the Fire & Ice?"
"The edible strawberry one sounds interesting." Degel was very quiet.
"You're so cute when you're embarrassed, darling. Let's try that one, then." The Greek grabbed the smaller bottle of strawberry lubricant, squirting a bit onto his hand. He wanted to play with this edible substance for a while.
After dipping a finger in the gel, Kardia spread the substance onto Degel's nipples. He began licking and sucking on the flesh buttons, finding that the lubricant worked almost like a gelatinous casing around the pink nubs. It didn't taste too bad to him, either.
The Aquarian was lost in pleasure. The gel made everything feel so soft and warm around his nipples; even when the Scorpio bit him slightly, his teeth glided right over the hard flesh. To Degel, it was even more pleasurable than just a mouth attacking his chest.
Kardia was finally done playing around when his erection throbbed powerfully. He rolled two fingers around in the small puddle of lubricant before inserting the first, making Degel moan. As that first finger began moving unhurriedly, the Frenchman's manhood began hardening until it was standing upright once again.
Soon enough, the second finger slipped into the tight cavity and joined the rhythm of the first. Degel moaned loudly, finding himself overtaken by lust. With his other hand, Kardia grabbed the Frenchman's member, pumping it in time with his fingers. A scream erupted from Degel's mouth, the lube feeling so smooth and warm.
The third and final finger pushed into Degel, the growing desire in his stomach burning anew. A sudden movement inside sent the digits into the Aquarian's prostate, making him scream; it took all his willpower not to beg for more.
Kardia suddenly removed his fingers from the tight cavity, kissing his lover on his pleading lips. The Scorpio grabbed a pillow, placing it under Degel's hips before settling in between the Frenchman's legs. Degel wrapped his legs around the Greek's waist, as he had done before, and enveloped Kardia's broad back with his arms. After a reassuring kiss on Degel's lips, Kardia slowly pushed into the humid chamber.
Neither of the two Saints could hold their groans of pleasure. The Aquarian was crazy, finally being able to feel his lover inside of him, while Kardia felt immense pleasure as his member slid into the slick cavity.
When his member filled Degel completely, the Scorpio stopped and kissed his lover's face. The Aquarian looked at him with pleading eyes, but didn't say anything because he knew that Kardia would start soon, and they'd be on the road of pleasure once again.
His thoughts were answered. After a final kiss on the bridge of The Frenchman's nose, Kardia began moving, his hips swaying slowly as he slid in and out of his lover.
Degel couldn't contain his low moans. It was so good to feel Kardia inside of him, even if the pace wasn't exactly to his liking. All that mattered to him was being with the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
He loved being with the Scorpio, in every way. The Greek was like a candle in the distance, guiding him out of the cold tunnel he lived in so that he could open himself to a world of color and warmth. Kardia made him feel needed and loved, and that was one of the aspects of the Scorpio that he loved most.
These times when they made love were one of Degel's favorite moments with Kardia. He felt closer to him than ever, and when the Greek whispered lovingly in his ear, he knew that Kardia would never replace him with anyone else. That's why, when the Scorpio began moving slightly faster inside him, he didn't have any doubts anymore. Kardia was only his, and he was only Kardia's.
"KARDIAAAAA!" Degel screamed suddenly, his fingernails digging into his lover's back. The Scorpio had taken a deep thrust, reaching the Frenchman's prostate.
Hearing Degel's loud and profuse moans, Kardia took that as a sign to go faster. He slid one hand down to the Aquarian's hot desire, masturbating it in time with his thrusts to accommodate for the slow pace. It worked for a little while; Degel arched his back and groaned thunderously. After a while, though, the Aquarian pulled him closer and whispered, "I need more. Go faster. Don't hold back."
The Scorpio had no trouble in doing what Degel said. He abandoned the thought of holding back, releasing the monster inside of him; his thrusts were harder and faster than ever before. He could feel himself getting slightly closer to the end with every lunge, and realized that the Frenchman was pushing his hips against his with the movements of his member inside him. The Scorpio knew he was a ways away and Degel was close, but he still wanted to play a little longer. He slowed the rhythm of his hand and leaned over the Aquarian, bringing his head down to the Frenchman's chest. Kardia started to lick and suck on the flesh pearls, hearing Degel scream in ecstasy. In turn, the Scorpio thrusted faster and harder, leaving the pink nipples to kiss the Frenchman deeply.
Suddenly, Degel moved one hand to Kardia's chest and started playing with his nipples, just as he had done to him. The Scorpio pulled out of the kiss to gasp loudly, his eyes wide in surprise. After some slight whimpering, Kardia groaned loudly. His back arched strongly as he threw his head back, moaning profusely, feeling a tingling sensation of pleasure running up and down his spine.
Degel could tell that Kardia was getting closer and closer to an intense orgasm. The Scorpio's thrusts inside of him were more and more frantic by the minute, making Degel go crazy. The Aquarian could feel the volcano in himself, too. This time, however, it was stronger than any other. The force was becoming too great; he dug his nails into the Scorpio's back, on the edge.
And suddenly, all he could do was look into his lover's eyes and scream in pure ecstasy, arching against Kardia as his semen poured out of his pulsating member. At the same time, the muscles enveloping Kardia's hard manhood squeezed on it tightly, leading the Greek to an extremely strong ejaculation. He screamed Degel's name, gripping the Frenchman's hips with force.
Neither of the two lovers could speak for a long while after their enjoyment. Kardia had fallen over Degel heavily, his forehead against the Frenchman's as they both struggled for breath. Short and hushed whimpers escaped the Aquarian as the Greek took his lips in a short-but-sweet kiss.
"I love you, Degel," Kardia whispered against the Frenchman's lips.
"I love you, too, Kardia," Degel murmured, his voice shaky with loss of breath.
After a long while of laying together, Kardia lifted off of the Aquarian and pulled out of his entry slowly. Degel panted and gasped loudly as he released over their torsos once again, his back bowed slightly. He wheezed dryly, trying to force air into his lungs as his lover laid beside him.
"It was so good, agapi mou," Kardia whispered near the Frenchman's ear as he wrapped a muscular arm around his stomach. "We should probably shower, though, so that we aren't all sticky." Degel mumbled something incomprehensible in agreement, so Kardia picked him up gently and carried him to the bathroom the way a parent might carry a tired child, stumbling slightly from the pleasure still present in his loins. The Scorpio stepped into the walk-in shower, sticking Degel's hand into the water to adjust it to his liking before going beneath it. He expected something more on the cool side, but the water was nice and hot.
For a while, all they did was stand there, the water falling over them, Degel's arms wrapped around Kardia's neck and his head leaning on a broad shoulder as the Scorpio held him in his arms. Soon, though, Kardia grabbed a wash rag, rubbed soap into it, and held the Frenchman against the wall to clean him. He took the rag and rubbed it along the Aquarian's torso and lower extremities, cleaning off the sticky liquid.
It wasn't until Kardia had set him down that Degel felt pain. His nether regions burned painfully from the little bit of pressure upon standing. He grit his teeth, making a hissing noise from the unpleasant feeling. Noticing Degel's discomfort, Kardia picked him up again.
"I'm sorry, darling," the Scorpio said sadly. "I overdid it." He had the look of a sad puppy on his face.
"It's okay, Kardia," Degel assured. "It's more my fault than yours, anyway; I asked for more than I thought I could handle."
"I still feel bad about it," Kardia responded.
"Don't be," Degel replied, putting a hand on the side of the Greek's face, gently brushing his wet cheek with his thumb. Kardia pulled the Frenchman closer and kissed him on the nose lightly. Feeling the soft hand make its way up into his hair, the Scorpio sighed contentedly and rubbed his head against the long fingers like a cat.
"That feels nice," Kardia murmured, closing his eyes as the Aquarian began to scratch behind his ear lightly. Degel chuckled at his partner's reaction, adding a little bit more pressure. He heard a slight, "Mmm" sound and contented sighs from the Scorpio as he continued his act for a little while longer.
"Okay, now you need to wash up," Degel announced, removing his hand from the blue waves of hair. Hearing Kardia's unsatisfied whining, he said, "I'll continue after we're done." That made the Scorpio perk up a little. The Frenchman took the wash rag from Kardia and started washing him, gliding the cloth over his torso languidly, planting light kisses on his face every so often. Once he finished, Degel hung the rag on a rung and rinsed his sudsy hands before sliding one into Kardia's soaked curls and rubbing that special spot behind his ear. The Scorpio responded eagerly, tilting his head slightly.
"Bedtime?" the Aquarian questioned after a while.
"I guess," replied the Greek reluctantly, knowing that the pleasurable touch of the Frenchman's hand in his hair would end. Seeing the Scorpio's face in a pout, Degel kissed him on the lips and turned off the water. Kardia grabbed a fluffy brown towel from the cabinet and draped it over Degel's shoulders, grabbing a brush on the way out of the bathroom.
As the Scorpio had finished brushing his and Degel's hair, he realized that he had caused more damage than he originally thought. There were bruises on Degel's hips from his harsh grip. Several hickeys covered the Frenchman's neck and clavicle. A few light bite marks were prominent on the pale chest and shoulders. He already knew about the pain in the Frenchman's lower regions. All of these added up made Kardia sad; he never wanted to do anything like that. In repentance for causing Degel pain, the Scorpio cradled him in his arms, stroking his hair and planting light kisses on his face.
"What are you doing, Kardia?" Degel asked, confused by the Scorpio's sudden behavior but liked it nevertheless.
"Repenting," Kardia replied seriously.
"What for?" the Frenchman questioned, surprised.
"For hurting you so much," the Scorpio said, letting Degel intertwine their fingers.
"What are you talking about, you silly arachnid? You didn't hurt me."
"There's a lot of marks on you, though... And you can't walk because it hurts you." The Aquarian sighed and looked at Kardia, who was keeping his head down. He turned slightly, capturing the Scorpio's lips with his own in a warm embrace.
"The pleasure of being with you will always override any of my pain, mon amour," Degel consoled sweetly. "I love you more than I can handle."
"I love you too, my angel," Kardia said with a smile, nuzzling under the Frenchman's chin before resting his head in the crook of his lover's neck. "You mean the world to me." Degel gaped, then smiled and hugged him around the neck. These six words made him feel like the luckiest man alive.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Kardia asked suddenly. Until now, the Aquarian failed to realize that he was crying.
"Nothing's wrong, Kardia," Degel assured with a grin. "I'm happy."
"About what?" the Scorpio questioned, glad that his lover wasn't hurting in any way.
"I'm happy that I'm with you. I'm happy that we're getting married. I'm happy that you care about me. But most of all, I'm happy that you love me; because I love you, you cocky bastard."
The Scorpio smiled sweetly, as if he was living a dream. Then, he shook with laughter. "I love you, too, you God-damn brainiac." There was a ferocious kiss between the two lovers. Both demonstrated the need for each other's love, the need to taste each other, the need for the touch of each other. All of their feelings being pooled into one last kiss.
The intensity was so great that it took both of the lovers a while to recuperate. Kardia laid down on his back, wrapping his arms around his partner as Degel rested his head on the Scorpio's chest. Feeling Kardia's arms around him, Degel fell asleep knowing that the Greek loved him more than he ever could've asked for. And he could tell anyone how great that feeling is.
