Slightly Longer Than a Three Hour Tour (Attn: Alex)

Eiryk was down right giddy. He had been threatening to take Alex out on his boat for ages and they just never seem to get out there. Eiryk made it a point to go sailing on a regular basis on nights Alex couldn't get away, but he was never out too long by himself. They would have as much time as they wanted tonight, tomorrow as Alex's day off. They could even stay out during the day. Pak was watching Thora for them, under some duress but she was taking care of the kit so there was no need to rush back.

He'd had the boat loaded up with lots of food for Alex as well as some of his best coffee, mead, fishing tackle just in case and a few other odds and ends. And now he was just dying to go and half pulling Alex with him.


"There she is. What do you think?"

The Häxa was a 58 foot single sail yacht. He'd had all the glass replaced with the nautical grade filtered glass, except in his cabin. Eiryk didn't quite trust the filters, he much preferred the old fashioned route of just staying in the dark. There was a great deal of deck space though so Alex could get outside and soak up as much sun as he wanted.

And the weather was forecast to be perfect so the going wouldn't be rough. That was always a risk, if something should go wrong during the day Alex wouldn't be able to manage, Eiryk would have to risk going out. He'd be covered head to toe and then some but still...

With an ease born of years and years of practice Eiryk swung down from the dock and on to the boat. He immediately and unconsciously adjusted to even just the slight rocking of the boat.

Alex was tempted to glare a little more until Eiryk actually did eat but what was the point? He was dead. He didn't stop to consider whether that made him a necrophiliac. It didn't bear thinking on. Either way he ate his meal while Eiryk stood at the rail and looked pensive.

"An option?" Alexander raised his eyebrows at Eiryk.

Eiryk said it like he meant a worst case scenario kind of thing. Alex didn't understand what he meant at first and then it dawned on him.


"Oh, no," he said, putting his fork down in surprise. "No, no, no, no, no. That is NOT for me."

Would Eiryk really want him to be a vampire? Alex couldn't even fathom the idea. He stood, crossed to Eiryk, and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, careful of the glass of mead in his hand.
"Eiryk, what you are is wonderful and unique and very you. I would make a terrible you. I'm me, and I'm human, and I should stay that way."

He watched Eiryk with solemn brown eyes, hoping Eiryk didn't think Alexander was rejecting him in some way. He didn't have any problems with Eiryk being what Eiryk was. Or Rowan, for that matter, who seemed a nice enough sort. Or any of Eiryk's other friends, if they were vampires too. Alex didn't know, and he wasn't sure he wanted to know.

But him? Drink blood? Live at night? He would never see daylight again. That thought was depressing as hell. Sure, he'd adjusted his schedule some to be with Eiryk, but he still spent a couple hours outside on the weekends and evenings, when he could get them, and he wasn't sure he could live in darkness forever.


"I'm not strong enough to be you," he said softly. "Just let me be myself."
Eiryk 12 years ago
He didn't push Alex at all, he let him reach is own conclusion. Honestly he wasn't at all surprised by Alex's response. Maybe a tiny bit taken aback by the vehemence but not surprised by the answer.

Without a though his arms wrapped around Alex in return, mindful not to spill his mead on his boyfriend.


"I'm not pressuring you at all, but you would still be you just a few life style changes."

He kissed Alex, softly thoughtfully and plowed on.

"You need to know the offer stands. Honestly... I'm not sure what I'll do without you."

That wasn't guilt, not even a little bit it was additional information.

"But we don't have to think about it now. I just want you to be you however you're comfortable, vampire, human, leprechaun what ever works for you. Just don't start developing any unhealthy interest in girls."

There was no point in getting maudlin or melodramatic about this. He just wanted Alex to think about it and to know that it was an option. In the mean time thirty something hot and healthy or eighty something still hot but sporting a walker and pants up to his arm pits Eiryk would be there, doing his best to take care of his boyfriend and still in love with him.
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
Alex rocked back on his heels a little. He had been selfish; he hadn't though about this from Eiryk's point of view. Sometimes he was such a jerk... looking at this from the perspective of how bad a vampire he would be, how he didn't want to live forever, he, he, always himself. How hard it would be for him to watch Eiryk stay the same age while he grew old.

He hadn't thought about it from Eiryk's point of view. What must it feel like to find someone you loved and know that you would only have the blink of an eye to spend with them? To be able to give them the opportunity to stay with you forever and be turned down?

He held Eiryk tightly, even that reflection not enough to make him really want to change his mind.
"You'll do just you've always done and you'll find another person to love eventually," he said hopefully. Surely Alex wasn't the only person Eiryk had ever cared for. "Just you know, not too soon I hope. An appropriately lengthy mourning period would be good."

He grinned at Eiryk, knowing the day they had to worry about it was far off - at least for him. Neither of them wanted to burden their weekend with such thoughts.

Alex laughed at Eiryk's list of approved Alex-traits.
"Don't worry," he chuckled, leaning down to kiss Eiryk firmly. "I've been at least ninety-five percent gay since middle school. You're safe. Besides, the only person I want is you."

He removed Eiryk's glass of mead from his hand, set it carefully aside, and enveloped his boyfriend in a tight embrace. He kissed him again but this time it was suggestive, intimate, and far deeper than he'd done previously. He wanted to prove what he said was true. There really was no one for him but Eiryk. Vampire or not, whatever and whoever he was, Eiryk was Alex's family now and he loved him more than anything.
Eiryk 12 years ago
"You are just lucky I look good in black."

Eiryk said jovially not willing to dwell on this topic at all. He, however, didn't comment on moving on. Truthfully, he'd never been in love, not like this. Eiryk didn't even know how to describe how he felt about Alex. Lust, fierce protectiveness, friendship, tenderness far too many adjectives to count really and it wasn't something he'd ever had in any other relationship, not that any of them had been terribly long. But he couldn't say anything or he would be guilting Alex and that, Eiryk was determined to avoid at all costs.

Alex's laugh wrapped around him like a warm blanket on a cold night, it was a sound he didn't ever want to forget. Just like the taste of Alex's kiss was something he would never forget. For now though he just melted into it, not even protesting when Alex took his mead. After all, this was more intoxicating.


"Then isn't it handy I only want you?"

Eiryk murmured against Alex's lips between kisses. He didn't feel like mincing words, he pressed himself against Alex and quickly divested his boyfriend of his shirt and his quickly followed.

"I'm either going to take you here and now on the deck... or we can go for a swim and cool down. Of course, I expect you to be naked for that..."
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
"Don't be silly. You look good in everything," Alex said. Of course, Eiryk probably knew that already; modesty wasn't his strong suit.

It was lucky that they were both easy to distract; Alex knew neither one of them wanted to dwell on the morbid. Not on their short overnight vacation.
"I won't argue," he said with a smile.

He watched with amusement as he was robbed of his shirt, but it was countered by Eiryk's loss of his own, too. Alexander grinned at the expectation of nakedness.
"I see, now we're making demands huh?"

He looked out at the water.
"Well, if you insist."

You only lived once. Alexander had never jumped into the ocean in the middle of the night before but he had confidence in his own skills and knew if anything happened Eiryk would be right there as well.

Shrugging and smiling at Eiryk Alexander walked down to the back of the boat, where it was close to the water. He kicked off his sandals and then unbuttoned his shorts, slipping them off. Without a backward glance he dove smoothly into the water, cutting deeply down into it and then surfacing with a gasp.


"Holy shit, that's cold."

He sure hoped Eiryk didn't expect him to fool around in the water, because at this rate his boyfriend was going to be sorely disappointed. Well... it could only get better with anticipation, right?
Eiryk 12 years ago
"Yes, yes I am but you have to admit they are good ones."

He wasn't sure if Alex would go along with it. It took a bit of courage to jump off a boat in the middle of the ocean, doubly so at night when you couldn't see -anything-. Eiryk wasn't disappointed, of course he hadn't expected to be. After all Alex had enough guts to date a vampire, this should be easy.

That was a moment worth freeze framing, too bad he hadn't gotten a picture of Alex jumping into the water. He laughed at the observation.


"It isn't a hot tub."

Stripping off his pants and deck shoes hoping that the cold water would stretch things out a bit. After all there were somethings you just couldn't manage in such chilly water. Without hesitation Eiryk followed Alex in a strong clean dive letting his momentum carry him as far away from the boat as it wanted. When he finally did surface it was with a grin, wiping salt water out of his eyes.

"Bracing!"

A few easy strokes brought him back to Alex and he swam into the other man's arms. While the temperature was a bit of a detriment the gentle movement of the ocean and the need to tread water a bit made wonderful excuses for more 'accidental' touches than one could ever justify on dry land. He kissed Alex lightly.

"Shall we play Marco Polo?"
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
Alex didn't worry about Eiryk when he didn't resurface immediately. He'd experienced firsthand over Christmas just how long a motivated vampire could hold his breath under water. It brought a cat-that-ate-the-canary smile to his face just remembering it. Of course that had been in a hot tub, yes, not the freezing cold ocean. Very educational all the same.

When the water was proclaimed bracing Alex snorted.
"Not the term I would have used, but okay."

He grinned as Eiryk swam over to him, wrapped his arms around Eiryk, and kissed him back. Laughing, he shook his head.
"I'm not flailing about with you in the middle of the ocean when you can hear me ten times better than I can hear you. It's hardly a fair competition."

Instead, he smiled sweetly, placed both hands on Eiryk's head, and shoved his partner underneath the water's surface. This precipitated a good long wrestling match in which they were on almost equal terms, since Eiryk's strength was of little help when it came to things like buoyancy. Of course, the fact that he could hold his breath for nine years was an advantage but at least he seemed to recall that Alex did not share it. In short, no one drowned and when they emerged from the water back onto the boat some time later, Alex, at least, was pleasantly tired but not exhausted.


Eiryk showed him where the towels were, mindful of the whole 'taking care of the human' thing, and they flopped onto one of the wide deck seats together, wrapped in the same enormous beach towel. Alexander sighed happily, staring up at the stars, resting against Eiryk's chest.


"This was a great idea," he said, turning his head to kiss Eiryk's collar bone, comfortably tangled up with his vampire under the very appropriate moonlight.
Eiryk 12 years ago
"You're no fun any more."

Eiryk cheerfully complained about the lack of a game, but he was quickly distracted as Alex shoved him under water. He might not need to breath much but that didn't stop him from getting a lungful of water. He had no issues retaliating and the whole situation just dissolved into laughing and wrestling and spluttering and in short he had a great deal of fun and thought Alex did too.

Ordinarily he would have drip dried but he didn't want Alex to catch cold and he sure as hell wasn't about to complain about being in a happy tangle of towel, arms, legs and naked. He couldn't think of a single thing wrong with that.

He smiled at Alex, smoothing back some damp hair and nuzzling his boyfreind's ear slightly.


"Anything with you is a good idea."

His hands wandered, they almost always did when the two of them lay together. The results varied but it was impossible not to touch Alex all that long lean muscle, soft skin and he was warm. Not that Eiryk was cold but something about the warmth reminded Eiryk that Alex was alive and vibrant.

He sought Alex's lips and placed a soft sweet down right chaste kiss on slightly salty lips.
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
"Anything huh?" Alex turned around to smile at Eiryk. The kiss on the lips was nice, but if they were after 'nice' they could have stayed in Nachton and gone out for ice cream or something.

He turned over so that he was lying on top of Eiryk, wrapping his arms around his partner's neck, his eyes resting warmly on Eiryk's handsome face.
"Did I mention tonight that I love you?"

He made a point of saying it frequently since Christmas. It never got old, and Eiryk seemed to enjoy hearing it as much as Alexander did. He lifted one of his hands and ran his fingers through Eiryk's short gold hair, then lowered his head to Eiryk's shoulder and turned his face inward so he could slowly, lazily caress his boyfriend's neck with his lips. It never ceased to drive Eiryk crazy.

As he closed his eyes, lips and tongue making a casual exploration over Eiryk's lighter skin, Alex's hand drifted up and down along his side. Alex gave a sigh of contentment against Eiryk's neck. It didn't matter if they got intimate now, later, or, preferably, both. He was just enjoying the moment, happily losing himself in a few instants of 'here and now' that he could look back on and treasure next week, next month, or whenever he wanted a perfect memory.
Eiryk 12 years ago
Like he was going to argue with that. Eiryk was happy to lay back and look in to the soft, warm, loving brown eyes. Eyes that had become so familiar but that never failed to excite and fascinate him. The were were so expressive, so... Alex.

Those words made him want to crow, to fly, he never tired of hearing them nor of saying them. If that wasn't enough Alex started playing with his neck. Damned, Eiryk loved that. Before it had been a tease a hint of what he really couldn't have. But even now that Alex knew what he was, it still drove Eiryk crazy in very short order.


"I don't know... have I said I love you?"

Eiryk closed his eyes and concentrated on every little touch of Alex's lips and tongue. Each touch, each taste shot little sparks almost like electricity through him. He couldn't hold still any longer, his hands rubbed up and down Alex's back finding their way to his boyfriend's ass. With a squeeze Eiryk pulled Alex closer to him, loving the feel when their hips and cocks met it was beyond exciting.

"Because I do love you."
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
Alex pulled back and regarded Eiryk with an amused expression. "You don't know? Maybe I haven't said it enough then."

He was always the playful type. The mood tonight though, following their impromptu water fight, was definitely much lighter than their previous conversation might otherwise have led to. Furthermore they really were completely and totally alone, and Alex felt surprisingly uninhibited.

Pushing himself up on one arm he bent his head and gently kissed Eiryk on the lips, nipping and sucking at his lower lip before kissing him much more deeply, suggestively, tasting him with his tongue, enjoying the way their breath mingled. His other hand, which had previously been caressing Eiryk's side, slid further down, gently brushing across his thighs before cupping his balls briefly, massaging gently. He stroked Eiryk's rapidly awakening cock, kneeling up over his boyfriend while he kissed him, imprisoning him between his hand and knees while his free hand worked gently, patiently.


"I love you," he murmured against Eiryk's lips between breaths, once, twice, a third time just to make sure the fact did not go forgotten.

He wouldn't take his lover for granted, ever. Alex was well aware that Eiryk was everything to him and he wanted to prove it. Whatever it took.
Eiryk 12 years ago
Was it possible to say it enough, Eiryk doubted that sincerely. He could record it and put it on a continuous look and that still wouldn't be enough.

Eiryk was concentrating very hard on the kiss, memorizing and responding to every nuance. Their tongues fenced in a wonderful give and take. There was little doubt about where this was going, very little and even that miniscule doubt vanished as Alex started exploring.

His eyes flew open for a moment before closing quite happily with a guttural exhale. Alex's nimble fingers were very effective and felt himself rising to the occasion. Totally unwilling not to respond Eiryk ran a hand along Alex's back, the tight firm curve of his bum and trailed his fingers over the smooth skin of his boyfriend's hip before lightly tracing Alex's member base to tip with just one finger, then two, almost in a casual manner. Despite that casual playful air Eiryk was very aware of Alex's reactions and he wanted nothing more but to please his boyfriend.

Each time Alex professed his love Eiryk's smile grew and he answered that love each and every time. Each moment with Alex was precious, especially now that Alex had made it clear he preferred to remain human. For the rest of their time together Eiryk wanted to ensure that Alex knew it.

His free hand buried itself in Alex's hair pulling that sweet open face to him and he kissed Alex with fierce abandon making no effort to hide his fangs and no effort to bite. Loving that he no longer had to hide this part of himself with Alex.
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
Eiryk's harsh exhale, combined with the smile on his handsome face and the deep, passionate kiss he gifted Alex with, was like an aphrodisiac. Alex hummed softly into that kiss, his hand closing fully around Eiryk's erection as he began to stroke slowly, no hurry, taking his time with each long caress.

There was nothing he liked better than touching Eiryk, lying against him, curling up with him and sharing intimacies like this. Alex still wasn't sure he was any good at the 'love' thing but Eiryk didn't seem to be complaining or lacking, so Alex assumed he was doing all right. He did worry that he wasn't expressive enough sometimes, so on weekends like these he tried to open up, be more outward, display his affection more. He was aware that back at home, in company, in public, he was very reserved.

Breaking away from Eiryk's mouth Alex made a slow journey down his partner's neck, sucking at the skin until it was warm and slightly colored before selecting another spot and moving on. Their previous conversation lingered in his head and he wondered if Eiryk wanted to be bitten. Alex was well familiarized with the euphoria Eirk's bite caused. If it worked on vampires, too, Alex could almost - almost - see some appeal in Eiryk's offer. He'd have to work that much harder, then, to make what he could do as a human enticing and exhilarating.

To that end he continued to stroke the hard length in his hand while he bit a not-so-gentle trail over Eiryk's chest, wrapping his free arm around his lover and lifting him, supporting him, while he flicked his tongue over the hard bead of one nipple, teasing it for a minute before taking it into his mouth, sucking, and then biting softly down.

Raising his head he grinned at Eiryk.
"Are you getting the idea yet?"
Eiryk 12 years ago
It was like being a kid at Christmas and Eiryk as trying -very- hard to to be greedy. He wanted to shove himself into Alex's hand and just go. But some how, Alex had assumed control, he was very much running the show right now. Not that one of them was ever officially 'in charge' this was a partnership.

He groaned as Alex denied him his lips. His hands sought any part of Alex he could reach, he would have pulled Alex back to him except his lover had turned his attentions elsewhere. Eiryk gasped as Alex took necking to an art form. He shuddered when Alex bit him, almost forgetting the slow, lingering strokes that Alex was torturing him with.


"My gods..."

All of them every single god he'd held dear in his twelve hundred years. Maybe it was a good thing Alex was staying human Eiryk didn't think he could survive the additional intensity of a vampire's bite, if that vampire was Alex.

When that bite became more than one bite and traveled over his chest Eiryk gave up he was helpless right now. This was the most incredible multitasking Eiryk had ever experienced. When he looked down at Alex and saw that grin, if possible he got harder.


"Whatever you want... just ... don't... stop...."

His breathing was ragged and labored. Eiryk wasn't aware of anything other than the man he loved was driving him absolutely insane right now.
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
Alex chuckled softly at Eiryk. "I wasn't planning on stopping." He lowered his head again and took Eiryk's other nipple into his mouth, treating it much the same as the first. He flicked his tongue against it and alternated soft sucking with gentle but firm bites. All the while his hand stroked slowly, rhythmically, up and down the length of his lover's shaft, fingertips brushing lightly over the tip before he closed his hand around it to stroke slowly again.

He loved that Eiryk let him play, becoming pliant and malleable in his hands. There were many times when the roles were reversed and Eiryk was the one who took control; they seemed to alternate on a fairly regular basis. When they had first met Alexander was prone to be the more passive of the two but time and stability had increased his confidence and he took great pleasure in what he was doing now, and the fact that he could do this to Eiryk at all.

Shifting downward Alex brushed his lips lightly over the scar that crossed Eiryk's chest. He continued his south bound journey, his mouth and tongue leaving a moist trail over the ridges and contours of Eiryk's stomach and sides. He traced the chiseled edge of muscle down from Eiryk's side inward toward his thigh, pausing to suck gently at the sensitive skin in the crook where his leg joined his body. As he moved down he had had to release Eiryk down to the cushion of the bench seat again; with his newly-freed hand he reached down to cup his lover's balls once more, testing the warm weight and sliding them gently around in his palm.

He let his mouth drift closer and closer to the base of Eiryk's cock, his hand still stroking slowly, slowly, not wanting to drive his boyfriend too far too fast. They had all night after all. Lifting his head from Eiryk's thigh he raised it a bit until his partner could feel the warmth of his breath against the velvety head of his cock, then flicked his tongue lightly against it before drawing a slow, small circle around the tip.


"Do you want me to kiss you?" He asked mischievously, looking up at Eiryk, teasing him with sparkling eyes and a playful smile. "You just have to say the word."

Any word would do, really; hell, a grunt of acknowledgment would probably work too.
Eiryk 12 years ago
Eiryk was pretty sure his eyes had rolled back in his head so far he'd never see again and damned if he minded. Blind would be a small price to pay right now. He no longer had a mind of his own, he'd do anything Alex told him right now, legal or not. Part of him wanted to know how Alex was doing it, the other part didn't care. He trusted, loved, Alex enough to give over control completely and wasn't aware of anything outside of Alex's touch.

For no apparent reason the light touch to his scar made Eiryk jump. For no apparent reason for just a moment he remembered how he got that wound, how it had nearly killed him. If it had though, he wouldn't have Alex now. How many thing had to have gone right to bring them to this point. It was probably easier to win the power ball than find a man like Alex.

As Alex traveled downward Eiryk's hand desperately sought for something to hold on to. He grabbed the beach towel and held on for it for dear life. And it wasn't just Alex's hand and lips, it was the feel of his breath the feel of his hair brushing against him.

It was a damned good thing Alex didn't have cold hands, when they found his sac Eiryk moaned. If anyone had been within ear shot it would probably have sounded like he was dying. It was a good thing he was all ready dead otherwise this -would- be fatal. He hadn't known Alex had this cruel streak in him, to get so close and to stop, but he loved it every single second of it.


"Vänligen."

He looked down at Alex. Totally helpless and needed whatever Alex was offering. His was only half thinking and had answered in the first language that sprung into his head. This was the first time Eiryk had been so jarred he didn't know exactly what he was saying.
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
Alex had no idea what Eiryk said, something in Vikingese, he was sure. But whatever it was his boyfriend didn't seem to be disliking this process, so Alexander took it as positive encouragement and looked up at Eiryk with a smile.

"That'll do."

He lowered his head and with painful slowness took Eiryk in, a tiny bit at a time until just the head of his cock was enclosed in the wet warmth of Alex's mouth. Sucking gently, he swirled his tongue around the tip again before stroking it back and forth against the underside of Eiryk's head.

While his hands continued their movements he played carefully with just the very end he had captured in his mouth. Eiryk's moan had been sweet to hear; he enjoyed the knowledge that what he was doing was appreciated. When he thought Eiryk had had enough of his teasing he lowered his head and took his boyfriend in further, stroking in time with both his hand and his tongue.

With both hands and his mouth occupied Alexander set a steady pace, increasing his motions a little, no longer going so slowly, now committed to pleasuring Eiryk until he came. This was something he had grown to enjoy, since meeting Eiryk. Before, it hadn't held any particular appeal to him but there was something about Eiryk's responses and reactions that made this far more exciting than it ever had been.
Eiryk 12 years ago
That Eiryk had not expected. Not that he was sure what he had expected, it didn't matter right now either. The sound he made in response was not elegant, sophisticated or articulate. A desperate choking sob which was accompanied by a ripping sound as he accidentally began shredding that beach towel. Well it was replaceable.

Finally, -finally- Alex ceased his teasing, not that having his partner's full attention was much relief, still Eiryk sighed blissfully at Alex's steady pace. He tried to say something an failed his hips, however, moved of their own accord.

As much as Eiryk was enjoying this he also wanted to give to Alex but it would wait, it had to. He was still a veritable Alex zombie. Even if the sensations, the feel of Alex's mouth on him, the soft but firm steady rhythm of those clever hands hadn't been enough to totally blow his mind it was the sweetness, the generosity and the pleasure that Alex seemed to be deriving from this would eventually have Eiryk passing out. Well, perhaps 'sweetness' wasn't an accurate term right now, Alex was being down right evil of course Eiryk was more than happy to beg for more, to crawl naked over broken glass for more.


"Jag älskar dig."

There, he'd managed to say something. He had to say something, to do something to tell Alex how amazing this was It was... they'd had some -very- good nights but tonight.. maybe it was the fresh air, maybe it was the moon light maybe it was the water, maybe he didn't care but there was an intensity about tonight that Eiryk couldn't deny or explain.
Alex Aristos 12 years ago
Alex continued his feverish ministrations, stroking Eiryk's shaft wit his hand in time to the slide of his mouth. He sucked gently at the end of each stroke before lowering his head again, now very focused on bringing Eiryk to the peak of his release.

He noted with surprise and amusement that Eiryk's grip on the beach towel was so hard he'd torn it. He raised his eyes to Eiryk's face, watched him intently while he pulled away a bit and drew a line with his tongue up the underside of Eiryk's cock. He repeated the motion several times, his eyes fixed on his boyfriend's face, before enclosing him in the warmth of his mouth once more and taking him further in.

Now he leaned up again, kneeling over Eiryk, deepening the angle while his hands continued to massage, and stroke, and touch. He sucked and licked in time with the seemingly involuntary motions of Eiryk's hips, knowing it wouldn't be very long until he came, driving him mercilessly toward that point.

The further words in a language Alex didn't understand made him smile. He loved the fact that Eiryk seemed out of it enough to have reverted to another language. He would ask him later what he'd said... in the meantime, it was enough that they were both thoroughly enjoying the intensity of this moment, so much more detailed, somehow, than they had ever been before. Eiryk's face in the moonlight, panting up at the clear dark sky with that expression of bliss, was something Alex would dream about for nights to come.
Eiryk 12 years ago
Where in the name of heaven had Alex learned to do -that-. Any of it, all of it, and thank god he wasn't stopping.

The beach towel was no in two completely different pieces, in one tiny corner of his brain Eiryk was very glad he'd not had his hands in Alex's hair. He couldn't ever remember an experience remotely close to this one. He couldn't think only feel. He wanted desperately to share this with Alex, but....

Finally he couldn't hold on any longer. All the muscles in his body tightened, strained against themselves, his skin was the only thing that kept him in one piece. This was an orgasm that hit like a sledge hammer, it didn't pulse it pounded. It was entirely possibly that he had whited, or grayed or blacked or even plaided out for a split second because there was probably precious little blood to his brain right now. Some day he'd read an anatomy book and figure out what had just happened.

It wasn't just a physical release either, it was an emotional high. That was very -very- much a physical confirmation of the fact that he was in love with and loved by an amazing man. Alex had said something about moving one in many many years after he passed. Eiryk was fairly certain that was impossible. Even if it was everyone from here to eternity would be measured against Alex and if he did manage to find some one... -hundreds- of years down the road, they would be found wanting. So he savored this perfect moment as something he'd never forget.

Even as climax left him spent, limp and tingly Alex was still there and that was what it was all about. Eiryk could only lay there, sweaty, panting and totally helpless. He managed to raise his arms and silently beg Alex to come to him.
