Candles glowed soft and steady around the room; in the center lay furs, blankets, and pillows. The small fireplace set in the far wall glowed and cracked with flames. Outside of the small hut the wind raged, driving before it a cold hard rain. It seemed an oasis of warmth in the middle of the storm. Glancing around in wonder as he closed the door behind him, Dar saw his lover sitting on the furs and moved towards the other man. "Tao, where did you find all of this?"
Tao looked up at Dar from his place on the furs and answered, "They were in a pile in the corner. I was able to shake them out before the storm hit. Did you manage to return the cub to her mother?"
Wringing the rainwater from his hair as best he could, Dar nodded and chuckled. "She's safe at home. But I wouldn't vouch for the condition of her ears or her scruff when her mother is done with her."
Echoing the chuckle with a snort of mirth, Tao stood and crossed the room with a blanket. He wrapped it around Dar's shoulders and started rubbing warmth back into the clammy skin. "Come and sit. I think we're going to be here a long time."
Dar followed him back to the circle of softness and sat cross- legged, holding the blanket around him, feeling chilled to the bone. The heat from the fireplace reached the edge of the circle on which Tao had aimed him. Between the firm, lazy press of Tao's hands over his back and the flames to his front, it wasn't long before the cold was banished.
"Lie down," Tao ordered softly.
Feeling sleepy and comfortable, Dar did as requested and stretched out on his stomach. The furs felt soft under his skin and the pillow cushioned his head. Tao withdrew the blanket but before Dar could protest the loss, the Eiron had replaced it with his body. Dar sighed in contentment and burrowed as far into the warmth as he could.
Gentle kisses rained across his shoulders. Tao shifted and Dar felt him sit, resting on his backside. Something slick and hot drizzled along his spine and he hissed in surprise. Tao's hands ran over the wetness, rubbing it into him and Dar recognized the scent of oil that the healer used for sore muscles. Sighing deeply as talented hands kneaded his muscles, Dar hovered on the edge of sleep for a long time.
Sleep retreated quickly at the first long swipe of Tao's tongue over his skin. Teeth nibbled delicately at every ridged muscle in Dar's back and he swallowed, burying his face in the pillow. Tao had moved into a playful mood, which was both good and bad. It was good because Tao's inherently inventive mind came up with many new ways of making love. It was bad because Dar was exhausted and didn't think he'd be able to keep up tonight.
As though reading his thoughts, Tao whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I know you're tired."
Of course, extensive nibbling on his ear directly after didn't really reinforce the assurance. With his face still buried, Dar felt nimble hands untie his loincloth and lifted his hips at the firm tugs to remove it altogether. The leather slid free and he heard it tossed aside. Within moments, Tao's hands covered him, rolling smoothly over the flesh revealed. Dar breathed deeply against the stirring of his cock, trying to will it into submission. He could defeat a dozen of Zad's knights, surely he could quell this one part of himself.
Tao's tongue slipped between his cheeks and Dar gasped in surprise, hardening almost instantly and denying his remaining self-control. Strong fingers held him separated as the tongue continued to lick around and along the pucker there, but never actually in it. Groaning faintly, Dar's heart began thumping heavily in his chest.
Then Tao moved away and Dar sighed his disappointment. Tao chuckled softly and murmured, "Not going far."
After a moment, more hot oil splashed onto his lower back and he gasped at the startling sensation. Tao's hands smoothed it into his skin, this time massaging it lower. Moving his hands in circles over Dar's backside, Tao squeezed and kneaded the muscles there until Dar couldn't help but relax again.
One more dribble of hotness directly across his ass and Dar felt it slip into his crack. It was followed slowly and gently by Tao's fingers. Heat ripped through him as Tao's hand slid sideways through his cheeks and under to the sensitive hollow there. Moaning at the first touch of Tao's slick finger inside him, Dar tried to control his breathing but couldn't. It had been so long since they'd done this. They had agreed not to expose this side of their love while living inside Eirocan's borders for the simple reason that they didn't want to give their enemies any further excuse to go after Tao. He was already target enough without that knowledge going around.
Tao's finger slid in to the hilt and Dar turned his head from the pillow and breathed out, "Please..."
Leaning over him, Tao licked the back of his neck and murmured, "Please what?"
"More. Please, I need more of you," Dar answered, squirming as Tao carefully pulled his finger out then pushed it back in.
"You'll have it. Soon," Tao promised, kissing his way back down Dar's spine.
This time when Tao's finger pushed back in, it was accompanied by a second and Dar moaned his approval, vainly stemming back his impatience. It didn't matter how often they did this, not that they had time to do it a lot, Tao always took his time. He was as careful and methodical in it as he was everything. The fingers inside him turned easily, pushing in deep until they hit the spot that sent a jolt of lightening through Dar, causing him to cry out.
"That's it, Dar, isn't it? Like this?" Tao asked quietly, love threading through his voice.
Dar cried out each time Tao hit the spot, pushing back against his lover's hand in an attempt to get more of the incredible sensation. Nothing would force Tao's actions, though, and the Eiron simply rocked his hand back with Dar's motion, ignoring Dar's frustration.
"Tao, please, I need you," Dar gasped.
Tao groaned at his declaration and after a long moment, removed his fingers. Dar felt empty at the withdrawal but then heard the rustling of fabric and smiled into the pillow. Tao could resist a lot of things but Dar's need wasn't one of them. And Dar did need him. Needed him as much as he needed to breathe. Their love was quiet and unassuming, hiding from sight from necessity but it was all consuming and dictated their actions as surely as Fate or any other force in the universe.
He stayed where he was: half on his knees with his face in the pillow. If he looked at Tao, Dar knew that he'd lose control completely and that was unacceptable. He wanted to find release with his lover, joining him in that as in everything else.
The first touch of Tao's cock to his opening was tense, no matter how much preparation they went through. It took a long moment for the bulbed head to make its way through the first ring of muscle. Tao rubbed his free hand over Dar's lower back, urging him wordlessly to let him in. Reveling in the hard feel of his lover within, it didn't take long for Dar to relax enough for Tao to push in another few inches.
Tao moved the rest of the way with agonizing slowness. They were both breathing heavily by the time they were fully skin to skin. Tao paused to run his hands along Dar's sides, resting completely on Dar's strength. It was one of Dar's favored things, to bear his lover's weight in this as Tao bore his in other things. Then he felt the spasm in Tao's cock and jerked backwards in response.
Tao hissed in answer to his unspoken demand and Dar grinned fiercely just before Tao started to move. It was subtle at first, barely a motion of the body on him. Then Tao would strain into him with a little snap to his hips. Next he would pull out some and push slowly back in. Then he would alternate that another hard snap of his hips, grinding as deep in Dar as he could. More often then not, Tao would hit the lightening and Dar would have to grit his teeth to keep from coming.
Tension built and the harder Tao pounded into him, the closer Dar got to the edge. This was all he'd ever needed: the joining of their bodies to express the joining of their hearts and spirits. One particularly hard slam of Tao's hips into him brought forth a ragged cry. "Tao!"
That was when Tao reached beneath him to encase his cock in a strong, sure hand. The stroking, combined with the joining of their bodies and Tao's mouth sucking on his shoulder brought it all together. He had a moment to cry out a warning to his lover and felt Tao's hot release flood deep, deep inside as the world whited out.
Dar didn't know how much longer it was when he finally noticed the world around him again. The candles were burning low and he was cradled in Tao's arms with the furs and blankets covering them in a cocoon of warmth. His backside burned pleasantly when he shifted up to place a gentle kiss on Tao's lips.
Tao stirred in his sleep then opened his eyes to stare at him silently in the near darkness. Dar smiled a little and pressed closer, tucking his head under Tao's chin and enjoying the simple comfort of being where he belonged, where he needed to be. Tao pressed a kiss to his temple and tightened his arms briefly.
They were both where they needed to be.
