The two of them collapsed onto the bed, tangled as one. The weight pressing down shouldâve been suffocating, but Yuder only tightened his gripâhis thighs and heels locking harder around Kishiarâs waist. Responding to that wordless call, Kishiar gladly draped his entire body over Yuder like a coiling serpent.
âUghâhah, ngh, ahâah...â
Beneath the dim lamplight, their shadowâmerged into oneâjerked violently up and down. Kishiarâs broad, tense back and arms, swollen with arousal, completely enveloped the form beneath him. All that could be seen of Yuder Aileâs body was the barest flicker of his trembling toes in the flickering silhouette.
No oneâ
Not even the flamesâ
Could see what face Yuder wore, what expression accompanied his moans. Not a single sound he made could escape this room. A subtle use of magic and ability had long since sealed it all tightly.
No one, save for Kishiarâwho had been granted the right to comfort himâwas allowed to approach this space.
âI promised Iâd let you rest in pleasure... so Iâd better make it worth choosing me.â
Fortunately, Kishiar had complete confidence in his ability to do just that.
He didnât bother to hide his feelings. His usual picture-perfect smile was nowhere to be found; instead, a beastâs grinâhungry and sincereâcurved across his lips. And Yuder liked that smile, too.
The less Kishiar concealed his desire, the more Yuderâs dark gaze fixated on him, dazed and unwavering. As if seeing Kishiar want him so honestly was some miraculous dream he'd waited his whole life to witness. In those blurry, black eyes, pleasure and joy blended together with each panting breath.
âAh...!â
Yuderâs abdomen shuddered and grew wet once more. Their hips, clashing like mating beasts, convulsed up and down before losing tension. His thighs, once tightly wrapped around Kishiarâs waist, fell limp. The heaving of his chest suggested he was starting to tireâbut that didnât mean Kishiar intended to stop.
The body's reactions and the mindâs satisfaction were separate matters. Yuderâs stamina was high; this much wasnât enough to wear him out. Inside, he was still tightening and releasing around Kishiar's length, as if testing what filled him and drawing out its identity for himself.
Bracing one arm beside the spread black hair on the sheet, Kishiar leaned in to lick Yuderâs ear. His lips brushed below it, then nipped the lobe before slipping his tongue into the small, delicate holeâtoo secretive and pretty to be just for hearing. He licked every inch he could reach, and Yuder, with his sensitive ears, twisted away and swallowed a breath. Kishiar didnât ~NĐŸvĐ”lđght~ miss it, following after him, catching a carelessly sprawled leg and lifting it lightly.
Their position flipped in an instant.
âUgh!â
The way his length slid and twisted inside, rubbing against the inner walls with devastating friction, made Yuder arch his neck with a choked cry. Kishiarâs back muscles bulged as he gripped Yuderâs leg, his whole body coiled with barely-contained force. But he exhaled deeply through his nose, forcing control back into himself.
Yielding to pleasure without being consumed by itâwas far from easy. Even after years of harsh training, sweat trickled down Kishiarâs temples and spine. Yuder was the same; his knuckles bulged as he gripped Kishiarâs forearm with bone-deep pressure.
Then, once again, the bed began to shake violently.
Each thrust felt like it could break his breath, like it would shatter reason itselfânot with pain, but with overwhelming pleasure. Eyes narrowing, Kishiar sought that invisible point of connection.
The scent, the mark flowing from Yuderâs body told him how much he was enjoying itâhow satisfied he was.
Seeing the faintly upturned corners of his lips, Kishiar couldnât hold back. He slipped away from the ear heâd been sucking and moved to kiss him. The position made it difficult, awkwardâbut the desire wouldnât be denied.
He pulled the leg in tighter, twisting their bodies. Their lips clashed, teeth scraping, but still he managed to bite down on Yuderâs lower lip and suck. When their tongues tangled, Yuder reached up, fingers threading into Kishiarâs hair. That small touch alone sent Kishiar spiraling into climax.
Yuder, his red eyes fluttering faintly, brought his hand down to touch where their bodies met. Finding it fully joinedânothing left outsideâhis gaze grew heavy with the satisfied look of a well-fed beast. His fingers slid through their tangled pubic hair, up Kishiarâs stomach and chest, then down again. He swept his slick lower abdomen, pressing somewhere specificânot out of lust, but as if confirming where Kishiar was lodged deep inside him.
And that sightâit sent a sharper jolt of arousal through Kishiar than any temptation ever could.
He pushed his fingers between Yuderâs and laced them tight. Gripping his hand against the bed, Kishiar thrust upward once more. The pleasure of striking so deep in a single stroke drew a low, broken moan from Yuder.
âAhh... it feels... good...â
When they're completely consumed by pleasure, both of them communicate more with their bodies and scents than with words. Theyâd long since learned that was faster, more honest. But when Yuder reached the limitâwhen his mental locks snappedâhe'd sometimes start letting words fall from his lips, without even realizing.
Words not chosen by thought, but spilled over by raw sensation.
Good. More. Faster. Deeper.
Andâ
âKishiar...!â
That name, called out as if his brain had caught fire.
Yuder rocked his hips without even realizing who heâd named, or that he had spoken at all. His eyes, wet with pleasure and utterly unfocused, brimmed with nothing but desire for release. His legs opened shamelessly, hands laced with Kishiarâs, fingers grasping as if theyâd never let goâcalling his lover.
It was the same as how heâd been during rut.
Ah. Yuder.
The vow Kishiar had just madeâto give him the best comfortâfelt like a lie, because he trembled helplessly.
From the crown of his head to the tips of his toes, he felt ready to melt and explode.
Even if he doubted a thousand, ten thousand times whether he deserved to feel this raptureâthe name he just heard wouldn't change.
He wanted him.
The surge overwhelmed him. He couldnât hold it back anymore. But if it were Yuder, heâd say not to hold it inâjust let it out. So he did.
His thrusts grew even faster, even harder. Yuder squirmed beneath him, unable to stop it. Kishiar didnât let goâhe held him close like they were sewn together, driving deeper, further inside, to where Yuder liked it best.
â......!â
The position they started in had long since shifted, again and again, just from the mutual desire to be closer, to touch more.
No matter how he thrust, Yuderâs body trembled like it wanted it all. Kishiar left no part untouchedâfrom the hollows of his wrists and ribs to the one slightly longer toe on his right foot, he tasted everything with his mouth.
At last, when Yuder had been wrung out by pleasure and could barely keep his eyes open, Kishiar knew the end was near. He took a long breath.
â...Haa.â
Yuderâs chest, still tense with lingering sensation, rose and fell with his shallow breaths. Kishiarâs gaze lingered on it, but instead of kissing there, he pulled out from where they were still joined below.
He withdrew slowly, carefully, to keep from overstimulating him. It took time. Fluid that had pooled inside spilled out in a rush down his shaft.
âNngh... ugh...â
âDid it hurt?â
Yuder whimpered faintly, so Kishiar brushed back his damp hair and asked. With his eyes closed, Yuder shook his head slowly.
Noâit wasnât from pain.
Looks like the fireâs not completely out yet... I should give him time to cool down before cleaning up. Wet sheets feel awful, so Iâll carry himâ
His calculating thoughts came to a halt as the body beside him stirred and climbed on top.
Yuder rolled over and collapsed down onto Kishiarâs chest.
