pricking with grateful tears. Gazing athis hard-earned prize, he whispered, I love you, Dy.Witha sweet smile, Dylen snaked his hand behind Riodans nape andpulled him back down into an even more voracious kiss. At once,Riodan set to ravaging him anew. Dylen happily succumbed to hisdesire.Supplefingers played with his nipples, pinching and tweaking them until hewas squirming with delight beneath Riodans withy form. As theirmembers surged back to life, Riodan thrust against him, sliding thehardening columns against each other until they were both gasping inecstasy into each others mouths.Riodansnatched up the bottle of oil and poured a goodly amount onto hispalm. But Dylen stopped him just as he was about to smear Dylensshaft with the unguent. Riodan stared at him, eyebrows lifting inquestion.Iwant you to take me, Dylen whispered. He firmly guided Riodanshand to his own member. Anoint yourself, ariad.Riodanshand shook as he lubricated his shaft. Are you certain? heanxiously asked, remembering the former hetharsaversion to yielding thusly outside of his professional assignations.Verycertain, Dylen huskily said. Have all of me, Rio. Own me. Hedrew a shuddery inhalation. I want to forget all the others. Makeme think only of you. Of us.Riodancould have wept from being blessed with so precious a gift as Dylensutter trust and complete surrender. Almost holding his breath, hemoved between Dylens thighs. Dylen lifted his legs and wrappedthem around his waist. Swallowing hard at the thought of berthinghimself inside Dylen once more, Riodan carefully pressed his achingshaft home.Hebarely stifled a cry as he was sheathed to the hilt. He stared atDylen in joyous disbelief. He had ceased to entertain the thought oftaking Dylen thusly long ago and aftertheirlast union before their rift he had expected to never again haveDylen at all. But now, here he was buried deep in Dylens heatedsweetness after so very long. He had not thought such bliss possible.Saintsabove, he whispered as rapture coursed through him like a moltenriver. Veres preserve me.Hewaited for his lover to adjust to his embedded shaft. Dylen was astight as an untried innocent, evidence of his many years abstentionfrom playing the mare. Riodan watched him will himself to relax hismuscles further. He knew Dylen was ready when he curled a leg behindRiodans thighs and pulled him closer.Riodanexperienced a sharp surge of possessiveness. An urge to stake hisclaim on his beloved overcame him, and he began to drive into Dylen,thrusting into him as deeply as he could. Dylens moans and gaspssent prickles of delight simmering along his skin, and he appliedhimself to delivering them both into ecstasy.Itwas as glorious as it had been that one time more than two scoreyears ago when hed had the pleasure and the honor of taking Dylenin genital intercourse. With none of his subsequent partners had itever felt like that or as it did now. None had looked as exquisite asDylen did as he lay beneath him, lips parted invitingly, eyes gazingup at him in open love and lust. And for all the otherswillingness to submit, only Dylens surrender meant the world tohim.Forin yielding all that he was and had, Dylen had given him the greatestgift of all.
