Dar was having a serious problem. His shoulder was throbbing like hell and his mate was driving him crazy. He would have enjoyed the teasing but he was in too much pain.
He had wrenched his shoulder that morning when he saved a girl from falling off a cliff. The girl had been running from Terrons when she got cornered on the cliff. He had fought off the Terrons and was approaching the girl when she slipped.
He dove for her and managed to grab one of her hands. He hauled her to safety then sent her on her way. He and Tao were walking away from the cliff when his shoulder started throbbing. Tao checked it and told him that he had wrenched the muscles.
Tao didn't have the herbs to soothe it so they were now looking for them. They needed one more in order for Tao to make the paste. For Dar the search was taking forever.
As for Tao, well the little tease was driving him insane. Tao was walking behind him and took every oppurtunity to brush up against him or touch him in some small way. He kept wanting to turn around and either swatt Tao's hands away or grab the Eiron and kiss him senseless.
A small stab of pain lanced through his foot. He wiggled his foot around and soon found the problem. A rock had managed to work its way into his boot. He stopped and leaned against a tree to remove his boot. He had just bent over and removed his boot when Tao walked by.
A hand planted itself in the middle of his butt and the sound of the slap reached his ears seconds before the stinging made itself known. He jerked upright and glared at Tao. Tao just grinned at him and kept on walking.
He quickly got rid of the rock in his boot and put it back on. He took off down the trail after Tao. He caught up with him when Tao stopped to wait on him. He grabbed Tao by the arm and hauled Tao against himself. After a heated kiss Dar pulled away.
"Don't do that to me again."
"Why?"
"Because right now I'm in too much pain to do anything about it."
Tao chuckled and rubbed up against him. Dar hissed as Tao's hip grazed his cock. He grabbed Tao's hips and held him still.
"Stop that!"
Tao snickered then looked up at him with a mocking look of concern on his face.
"Awwww..poor baby's in pain. Guess I have to behave. Can't upset the poor little thing."
Dar gave him a hateful look for making fun of him.
"It's not funny, Tao. It really hurts."
Tao just rolled his eyes and wiggled free. Tao headed on down the trail with Dar trailing along behind him. It didn't help Dar any to have Tao in front of him now instead of behind him. Tao was wiggling his hips with each step and throwing sultry looks at him over his shoulder.
Dar gritted his teeth as his loincloth grew tight. The sight of Tao wiggling around in nothing but his breechcloth was getting him hotter than hell. He swore under his breath when Tao bent over and wiggled his butt in Dar's face.
One more move like that and he was going to take the Eiron right then and there. Sore shoulder on not. Tao suddenly stopped causing Dar to run into him.
"What?"
"Nothing. Just found what I needed."
Tao knelt down and pulled some leaves off of a plant. He stood back up, then took the pack from his back. Dar sat down on a rock and watched as Tao made the paste. When it was ready Tao walked behind Dar and began rubbing it onto Dar's shoulder.
Dar hissed in pain as Tao's fingers dug into the sore muscles. After awhile the pain began to fade and a cool, tingling sensation took over. Dar rotated his shoulder, testing its range of movement. The pain was gone and he had full use of his shoulder.
Tao's hands returned to Dar's shoulders abd started to massage them. Dar closed his eyes and leaned back. It felt so good to feel the tension leaving his body. Tao soon moved from Dar's shoulders to his neck.
As the slender fingers eased the tense muscles Dar sighed and relaxed completely. He felt lips brush over his ear and reached back to grab Tao. Tao moved out of reach, then came back. Tao slid his hands around and down to play with Dar's chest.
The feeling of fingers running over his nipples sent a jolt through Dar. His eyes flew open and he reached for Tao again. Tao slipped away from him and came around in front of him. Dar lunged for him only to have Tao dance away from him.
Dar lunged for him again. Tao evaded him and moved further away. After several attempts to grab Tao they ended up on opposite sides of the glen staring at each other. Dar started for Tao but stopped when Tao held up his hand.
"Now what?"
"Just want to make a little wager."
"What kind of wager?"
"If you catch me before we reach the Sanctuary, I'm yours."
"And if I don't?"
Tao gave him a lustful leer that sent shivers down his spine.
"If you don't then you're mine for the night. To do with as I please."
"Fine. You're on. You had better be ready for me when I catch you."
Tao's left eyebrow rose.
"Think you're gonna win do ya?"
Dar nodded and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Yes. We both know I'm faster than you."
Tao chuckled and turned sideways. He gave Dar a sidelong glance through half-lowered lids.
"That's what you think."
Before Dar could reply, Tao was gone. Dar let out an oath and took off after him. He caught sight of Tao when he rounded a bend. Tao looked over his shoulder, spotted Dar and took off like the wind. Dar swore and started running faster.
As they raced through the forest Dar slowly began to gain ground. He was within grabbing distance when they crashed into the Sanctuary. Tao skidded to a stop in front of him. Dar couldn't stop fast enough and crashed into him. They went down in a heap.
They laid there for awile, panting for air. After awhile Tao squirmed free and stood up.
"I win. You're mine."
Dar rolled over and looked up at him. The look of triumph on Tao's face made him want to gag.
"That was not fair. I didn't know you could run like that."
Dar's tone was sullen and Tao pulled a face then stuck his tongue out at him.
"Don't be such a sore loser. It's not my fault you never paid attention to how fast I could run."
Tao backed up as Dar got to his feet. He allowed Dar to pull him close. He stood on his tiptoes and placed a kiss on Dar's lips. Before Dar could deepen the kiss, Tao tried to push him away. Dar raised his head when Tao pushed him again.
"What?"
"Let go. I need to prepare some things for tonight and you can't be here."
Dar didn't let go of him, so Tao jabbed him in the stomach. Dar let go and backed away holding his stomach.
"What was that for?"
"I need you to leave. I want tonight to be a surprise. Now scoot or you don't get any."
Dar walked out of the Sanctuary growling under his breath. Tao called to him just before he disappeared into the forest.
"Don't come back before dark. And no peeking."
"Fine. whatever."
Tao started humming to himself as he got things ready for his surprise.
Dar wandered aimlessly around, trying to find something to do. There was nothing for him to do so he found a secluded glen and sat down. His mind was racing with ideas as to what the surprise might be.
*Tao's for the night.* he thought to himself. *This should be very interesting.*
He leaned back against a tree and let his mind drift. Before long he was asleep.
~Dar?~
Sharak's voice tugged at his mind.
~Dar. Wake up. Your mate needs you.~
Dar opened his eyes and sat up. He looked up to find Sharak perched above him.
~Tao's ready?~
~Yes. He's starting to get worried.~
Dar got up and looked around. He had been asleep longer than he thought. The sun had already gone down. Sharak took to the sky and flew overhead as Dar made his way back to the Sanctuary.
The first thing Dar saw was the fire in the middle of the Sanctuary. Tao was nowhere in sight. As he moved closer to the fire he saw that some blankets had been spread out beside it. Various pots and jars lined one side of the blankets.
He turned to the cave and saw Tao standing just inside the entrance. Tao had his head down but raised it when Dar took a step towards him. Tao was still clad in nothing but his breechcloth. Tao moved forward, his walk reminding Dar of a panter stalking its next meal.
Tao's breechcloth had been unwound so that it hung from its band. It shifted with each step Tao took, showing off a great deal of Tao's legs and revealing the fact that he didn't have anything on underneath it.
Dar felt his breath hitch in his chest. As Tao moved closer to him, Dar picked up an odd scent. The closer Tao got the stronger the scent became. It was a dark, sultry scent that sent little jolts of desire straight to Dar's cock. Dar coul feel himself growing harder and harder with each step Tao took.
*****
Tao stopped in front of him and Dar reached for him. Tao shook his head and took a step back.
"No. Don't touch. Mine remember."
Tao moved around him and over to the blankets. Dar turned to face him. Tao pointed at him, then at the blankets. Dar got the hint and moved over to stand on the blankets.
"Get undressed."
"What?"
"You heard me. Off with the boots and the loincloth."
Dar did as he was ordered. When he was done he straightened up and looked at Tao. Tao knelt down and picked up a pot. He uncorked it, then stood back up with it in his hand. He walked around Dar to stand behind him.
Dar stiffened, then shuddered when Tao ran his hands over his back. There was a silky feeling to them that made him shiver. He realized that Tao was applying the oil in the pot to his back. Tao moved down, applying the oil to the rest of him.
A finger ran down the crack of his ass causing him to jump. Tao chuckled and did it again. Dar jumped and took a step forward. Tao smacked him on the ass.
"Hold still."
Dar froze where he stood. Tao finished with the back of him, then moved around to start on the front of him.
Dar twitched but didn't move away when Tao swirled his thumbs around Dar's nipples. When Tao moved lower, Dar gritted his teeth and steeled himself.
Tao bypassed Dar's cock and knelt down to rub the oil over Dar's legs. Dar relaxed a little when Tao made no move towards Dar's cock. When Tao stood up, Dar let out a small sigh. He knew that he would have gotten smacked again if Tao have rubbed the oil on his cock. There would have been no way he could have held still for that.
Tao motioned to the blankets.
"Now lay down."
Dar laid down on his back. Tao knelt down by his head.
"Give me your arm."
Dar held his arm up and Tao took a hold of Dar's wrist. Before Dar could even twitch a muscle, Tao had secured Dar's wrist with a silk scarf. Dar tried to pull his arm free. Tao tapped him on the shoulder. Dar quit moving.
"Now the other one."
"No."
Tao got up and stood straddling Dar's chest. Dar swallowed hard when the move left him with a very good view of what was under Tao's breechcloth.
"You agreed."
The words were snarled at him, causing him to jerk and look up at Tao's face. Tao wasn't very happy. The glare on his face reminded Dar of Ruh when the tiger was pissed at him.
"You agreed. Now either give me your arm or we quit right now and you go find another place to sleep tonight."
Faced with an angry mate and the prospect of spending a cold night by himself, Dar gave in. He held his arm up. Tao smiled and moved off him.
"That's better."
Dar's other wrist was soon secured with another silk scarf. Tao shifted and picked up something else. A piece of cloth was placed over Dar's eyes and tied behind his head.
"Tao?"
Tao placed a finger on Dar's lips.
"Hush. No talking for now. We're going to play a little game. If you can guess what I have in my hand then I'll remove the blindfold."
Tao moved around and knelt down so that he was straddling Dar's stomach.
"Here we go."
Something soft was trailed down Dar's right arm. Dar shuddered as the oil made his skin very sensitive. The thing trailed down his arm, across his armpit and under his chin. It went from there down to his chest.
He gasped and twitched as it circled his nipples. It brushed over them twice then headed dowm to his stomach. A chuckle burst from his lips when it dipped into his navel.
Whatever it was left a tingling sensation behind. It tickled and Dar fought his bonds to get free. He wanted to rub his skin to get rid of the tickling feeling. The bonds held fast and he couldn't get free.
Tao was chuckling at his attempts as he moved lower. He bypassed Dar's groin and moved on to his legs. The inside of Dar's thighs were extremely sensitive. When Tao ran the thing down Dar's right thigh, Dar jerked and pulled his leg away.
Tao grabbed Dar's knee and held him still. He ran the thing up and down the insides of both thighs. By the time he was done, Dar was gasping and shaking. Tao let go of Dar's knee and went lower.
Dar was racking his brain trying to figure out what it was. He had never felt anything like it before in his life. It tickled and burned at the same time. It was a maddening feeling. It was driving him crazy because he couldn't get rid of the feeling.
Tao came back up to Dar's groin. Dar bit his lip to keep from screaming when Tao ran the tip of it up the Underside of his cock. Streaks of heat raced up his spine and his chest became tight.
The thing circled the head of his cock twice then ran down the other side. Beads of sweat broke out on Dar's forehead and his hips jerked upwards. Tao stopped and moved away.
Dar was wondering what was going on when something was laid across the upper part of his waist. It felt like a thin strap of leather. Another strap was laid across his upper thighs then the straps were pulled tight.
When Dar tried to move his hips he found that they were held fast by the straps. Tao returned to torturing him. The thing ran around the base of his cock, slowly making its way up. Once it reached the tip it made its way back down. When it reached the base it slid down over his balls and underneath them.
Dar hissed when the tip of it just barely brushed over his opening. Tao removed the straps.
"Raise your legs."
Dar raised his legs and immediately wished he hadn't. Tao took the thing and ran it around Dar's opening then flicked it acrss it. Dar gritted his teeth as the muscles in his thighs spasmed. Gods, that itched. It was maddening. It itched and burned at the same time and he wanted nothing more than to rub the feeling away.
He went to lower his legs and received a smack on the inside of his right thigh. The jolts of pain went straight to his cock, causing it to harden even further. His breathing became labored as the torture continued. Soon he was panting. The burning swept through him, catching his nerves on fire and turning his blood into a raging inferno.
*****
Making one last desperate effort, Dar wrapped his legs around Tao's waist. Tao dropped what he had a hold of and grabbed Dar's balls. He lightly squeezed them.Dar groaned and tightened his legs. Tao squeezed harder, causing Dar to hiss in pain. Dar squirmed, trying to get free. Tao tightened his grip. Dar hissed again.
"Let go and I'll let go."
Dar knew from the determined sound of Tao's voice that he wasn't going to win and dropped his legs. Tao let go of his balls and began teasing him again. He shifted his legs closer together to keep Tao away from that sensative area under his balls. His actions earned him another smack. This time it was planted right where his upper inner thigh met his ass.
Before he could hold it back, a cry of pain went up. That hurt. Tears formed behind his closed eyelids and he actually whimpered. He heard the sound of a pot being moved and stiffened. He relaxed when a cooling sensation spread across the area where he had been smacked. Fingers brushed over the spot.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you that hard. Just hold still and I won't do it again."
He was trying to hold still but what was being done to him made it impossible. He became a squirming, wriggling, panting mass as Tao continued to run the thing all over his groin. Finally he couldn't take anymore. His cock was throbbing, begging for release.
"Tao...please...starting to hurt.. please.....stop."
Tao stopped, then looked up at him and chuckled.
"Looks like the blindfold stays on."
"Don't care..just stop teasing...please!" Dar panted.
Tao slid up to straddle Dar's chest. He leaned over and placed his hands on either side of Dar's head.
"What's the matter? Can't take it?"
Dar growled and jerked on his bonds. Tao started laughing, then leaned over to kiss him. When Tao pulled away, Dar was struggling to breathe.
"Get used to it. I'm not done yet."
Dar groaned as Tao's words ran through his head over and over. Tao moved off him and he heard more pots being moved around. When Tao came back, Dar's nose twitched as he picked up a new scent. He inhaled and felt thin streaks of lust race down his spine. He recognized the scent then. It was the same scent Tao was wearing.
Tao's hands ran down Dar's body, applying the oil to almost every inch of him. Tao bypassed Dar's cock for the second time. Dar was trying to figure out why when the scent slammed into his mind. The fire inside him blazed even hotter and sweat broke out all over him. He heard Tao put the pot down and braced himself for another round of torture.
Tao's hands returned to his body. Fingertips glided over his skin, leaving trails of fire behind. Something wet brushed the tip of his cock and his hips violently jerked.
He felt Tao's hands on his hips and steeled himself. A deep groan welled up from him as a hot, wet feeling enveloped the tip of his cock. A tongue flickered over it and more streaks of lust raced down his spine.
Tao's mouth slowly moved down, enveloping more of him. Dar gritted his teeth as sweat pored off him. When Tao finally stopped moving, Dar was buried deep in Tao's throat. Tao swallowed and Dar bucked upwards.
* Hot.....OH GODS!......Hot...!*
Dar's mind chanted over and over.
Tao moved up, running his tongue along the underside while letting his teeth graze the other side. Dar couldn't keep the moans in. He gave up trying when Tao started purring.
The vibrations slammed up his spine into his brain and sent him into overload. Just as his release started, Tao cupped his balls and squeezed. He yelled at Tao and bucked up. Tao responded by biting him. It was just a small nip on the tip of his cock but it was enough to make him freeze.
Keeping a tight grip on Dar's balls, Tao began to move again. Tao's other hand left Dar's hip and slid down to the opening to Dar's body. Dar shivered and his knees fell further open.
A fingertip circled his opening then pushed in. Dar moaned and spread his legs further apart. Between the fire within him and the feeling of Tao's mouth on him he barely felt the small stab of pain.
The finger pushed in further then slid back out. It returned again covered in oil. It effortlessly slid into him. Another finger joined the first and they began to slide in and out. He couldn't hold still any longer.
His hips rocked up, then pushed back down onto Tao's fingers. Waves of heat radiated through him as Tao's fingers brushed over a spot deep inside him. Wanting more, his hips began to rock faster and harder.
Tao let go of Dar's balls and tried to hold him down. It didn't work. Dar was in a complete frenzy and couldn't be held down. Tao shoved his fingers in hard, jabbing the spot dead center.
Dar's hips slammed upwards and a deep growling roar ripped from his throat as he came hard. He was violently shaking and shuddering as his release exploded from him.
He couldn't breathe. Spots danced behind his closed eyelids as he gasped for air. His body turned into a heavong mass as explosions and eruptions continued to go off inside him. He felt himself start to drift and the world spun out of control as he slid headlong into oblivion.
Tao pulled away after Dar went limp beneath him. He took a few minutes to catch his breath. He never thought that Dar would react the way he had. He thought there for a minute that he was going to pass out when Dar shoved up against him.
He got up and crawled around to Dar's head. He removed the blindfold and checked Dar's wrists. They were fine. He loosened the scarves a little to let the blood flow easier. He massaged Dar's arms to help the flow of blood. Dar didn't even move.
He patted Dar on the cheek. No response. Taking a closer look, he saw that Dar was out cold. He chuckled and started getting things ready for round two. This was the part he had been waiting for all night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dar slowly came back to himself. Opening his eyes, he found that the blindfold had been removed. His nose no longer burned and he looked down. The oil had been washed off. He tried to move and found that he was still tied down. Turning his head to the side, he spotted Tao sitting by the fire.
"Tao?"
His voice was hoarse. Tao turned to him and grinned.
"The one and only. About time you woke up."
Dar rolled his eyes at him and gestured to the water gourd with his eyes. Tao picked it up and walked over to him. He knelt down by Dar's head. Dar raised his head only to have Tao push it back down.
"Tao, please. Thirsty."
Tao took a drink from the gourd then leaned over and opened Dar's mouth. He covered Dar's mouth with his own and let the water run from his mouth into Dar's. Dar swallowed the water, then flicked his tongue into Tao's mouth.
Tao jerked back with a surprised look on his face. If Dar wasn't so thirsty he would have laughed. He quickly sobered up when Tao made no further move towards him.
"Tao. More please. Won't do it again.'
Tao took another mouthful and transfered it to Dar. This time it was Tao who flicked his tongue into Dar's mouth. Dar groaned and twined his tongue around Tao's. The kiss deepened. Tao finally pulled away from him. He smirked at Dar when he saw that Dar was becoming hard again.
"Thought you were thirsty?"
"I am."
"From the looks of it, you're more than just thirsty."
"Tao!"
"What's the magic word?"
"PLEASE!"
Tao gave him another drink and another kiss followed. They kept it up until Dar's thirst had been taken care of. His other problem however was just going to have to wait. Tao moved away to pick something up. Dar pulled on his bonds.
"You can untie me now."
Tao looked at him, gave him an impish grin and shook his head.
"Not yet. We're not done. It's time for round two."
*****
Tao came back over to Dar. Dar groaned when he saw the pot in Tao's hands.
"Please, no more."
Tao sat the pot down by Dar's hips and patted him on the knee.
"Don't worry. You'll like this part."
Tao moved to kneel between Dar's legs. He gently grasped Dar's cock and began stroking it. It wasn't long before Dar was rock hard and panting again. Tao dipped his fingers in the oil then ran his fingers down the crack of Dar's ass.
Dar moaned and jerked when Tao's fingers brushed over his opening. Tao stopped and looked up at him. Dar looked down at him. There was uncertainty in Tao's eyes. Tao swallowed and a pleading look entered his eyes.
"Can I? Please?"
Dar's breath caught in his throat. He knew what Tao was asking for. The very thought of Tao taking him sent fire pulsing through his veins. He swallowed hard and nodded. Tao slowly eased his fingers into Dar.
The opening was still relaxed and it was easy for Tao to slide his fingers inside. Hot,velvety, heat gripped his fingers. Tao's cock throbbed at the thought of being buried deep inside of that heat. He carefully stretched the tight passage.
Dar's hips were soon pushing back onto his fingers. Tao pulled his fingers out. He placed Dar's right leg over his shoulder and positioned himself. Moving slowly, he buried himself deep inside of Dar.
Dar's head went back and he let out a shuddering moan as Tao pushed into him. Pain stabbed through him but he ignored it and it soon faded. Tao held still for a few minutes, then began to move.
Tao slowly pulled out, then pushed back in. Dar groaned and tightened his inner muscles. Tao hissed, and began to move faster. Dar growled and hooked his left leg around Tao's waist.
Tao slid his hands under Dar's ass and lifted Dar's hips up. He slid his knees underneath them to hold them there. He pushed Dar's left leg up towards Dar's chest. The position gave him more room to move.
Dar wasn't comfortable with it and kept trying to hook his leg back around Tao's waist. Growling in frustration, Tao stopped and pulled out. Dar started to protest, but shut up when Tao glared at him.
Tao got up and went around to stand by Dar's head. He knelt down and attatched two long scarves to the ones holding Dar's hands down. Taking the other ends, he walked down to Dar's knees.
He looped the scarves around Dar's knees then went back to Dar's head. He looked down at Dar when Dar gave him a questioning look. Dar whimpered when he saw the evil glint in Tao's eyes. Tao knelt down and leaned over him. His voice was low and husky as he whispered in Dar's ear.
"I told you before. We're doing it my way. Let's see how well you move when you're like this."
Tao pulled on the free ends of the scarves. Dar's legs were pulled apart and up, leaving him fully exposed. Tao tied the ends to the other scarves, then stood up. Dar started to say something, but stopped when Tao arched an eyebrow at him.
"Do you want to be gagged as well?"
Dar's cheeks turned pink and he shook his head.
"That's what I thought."
He moved down to stand between Dar's wide spread legs. Dar was trying to put them down. Dar had never felt so exposed in his life. It was humiliating, and his face burned bright red with shame.
Tao chuckled and dropped to his knees. He took a hold of Dar's cock then leaned forward so he could watch Dar's face as he stroked him. Dar's eyes closed at first and he began fighting his bonds with a renewed intensity.
Shame warred with lust on the warrior's face. Never taking his eyes off of Dar's face, Tao leaned down and licked Dar's left nipple. The warrior sharply inhaled, then with a shudder, went limp. Dar's eyes opened and he looked down at Tao.
Tao saw the surrender in Dar's eyes and moved back down. He licked the tip of Dar's cock before he let go of it. Moving forward, he positioned himself again. With one thrust he slid all the way in. Dar groaned and his hips arched up.
It was the only movement his bonds would allow him. Tao moved against him, using long, slow strokes. Dar soon forgot about his bonds as the fire returned to wash over him.
Tao continued to torture him by moving slow. Tao's thrusts brushed against Dar's pleasure spot each time. He growled at Tao. He wanted more. He wanted it harder and Tao wasn't doing it. He shoved his hips up, pushing hard against Tao.
A cry left his lips as the tip of Tao's cock jabbed hard into his pleasure spot. Tao grinned and thrust in hard. Another cry went up. More cries filled the air as Tao rocked him with hard, sharp strokes.
Dar felt like he was being bathed in fire as sharp flashes of pleasure turned his blood into molten lava.
Sweat glistened on his forehead and along his chest as he brought his hips up to meet Tao's thrusts.
A hand gripped his cock and began to pull on it. Dar felt his muscles start to tighten and knew he wasn't going to last much longer. The hand on his cock pulled harder and the coil tightened.
The thrusts were becoming harder and faster. The hand flashed back and forth on him. One final pull and the coil shattered. His head went back and a scream rang out through the air as he exploded with a white-hot intensity.
A hot, burning heat spread through him, cranking the explosion up a notch. He barely heard Tao's cry of release through the ringing in his ears. The world faded to white and the breath left his chest when Tao collapsed onto him.
Dar slowly drifted up from the darkness. A warm weight was pressed against his chest. Cracking one eye open, he found Tao laying on top of him. Tao stirred and raised his head. He gave dar a dopey grin and patted him on the chest.
"That was fun. Let's do it again soon."
Dar couldn't help but grin back at him. Before he could ask, Tao got off him and untied him. His hands tingled a little from being tied for so long. He lowered his hips, hissing in pain when the muscles protested.
Once he was laying flat, he tried to turn onto his side. He couldn't move. His bones felt like they had been turned to liquid. Tao held Dar's head up and pressed the water gourd to his lips. Dar took a long drink from it, then lowered his head. He still felt lightheaded.
Tao retrieved an extra blanket to cover up with. He dropped down beside dar and stretched out. He pulled the blanket over them, then laid his head on Dar's shoulder. Dar slowly placed an arm around Tao's waist. Tao snuggled up to him and was soon asleep.
Dar couldn't sleep. He held Tao close and let his mind drift. he replayed the events of the evening. He felt himself growing hard and pushed the urge down. he was too tired and sore to do anything about it right now.
His backside throbbed with each pulse of his blood. He wasn't going to complain. It felt good in a way. It told him that he was completely Tao's now. Heart, body, and soul. His spirits lifted at that thought and he smiled.
He went to put his other arm around Tao and his hand brushed over something on the ground. He picked it up and held it up in the firelight. It was one of Sharak's feathers. The tip of it was stiff.
He brought it closer to his face to see what was on it. He picked up the scent of the oil that Tao had used on him. Bringing the feather to his nose, he inhaled.
He was right. It was the same scent. The tip of the feather brushed against the end of his nose. He managed to hold back his sneeze, and brought his hand up to rub the itch away.
His hand stopped halfway to his face as he remembered the feeling he had felt when Tao was teasing him. He looked at Tao, then back at the feather. A grin spread across his face when it dawned on him why the feather smelled like the oil.
*So this is what the little sneak was using to torture me with.*
A quiet chuckle drifted through his mind and he looked up. Sharak was perched above him.
~Did you give him this?~
~Yes. Now before you ask,no, I didn't know why he wanted it.~
~Yeah, I bet you didn't.~
~I didn't! I swear!~
Dar rolled his eyes at the immortal bird.
~Uhhu. I hear ya.~
Sharak chuckled and cocked his head to the side.
~Did you enjoy it?~
~What do you think?~
~Well, judging from the look on your face while he was doing it I'd say you did.~
~You were watching?!?~
~Yes. So was Ruh.~
~Can't have any privacy around here.~
Both Ruh and Sharak laughed at him. He gave them both ugly glares.
~Oh shut up! Go to sleep.~
Their quiet laughter echoed in his ears as he rolled onto his side. Tao sleeply protested then rolled onto his side with his back to Dar. He pushed back against Dar. Dar yawned and pulled him closer.
Before he fell asleep, he tucked the feather away in his boot. He wanted to keep it, because sooner or later Tao was going to lose a bet. Dar was planning on sooner rather than later.
Oh yes, Tao was in for it. Because after all, turn about is fair play. Tao was going to pay for what he did. And pay well. Dar chuckled to himself as a plan began to form. All was fair in love and war. Beware the warrior, Tao. Beware.
