ignored them, ignored everything but Topaz, focusing on the love they shared between them.
Topaz ducked his head, purring. “My Gemini. Sweet. Feel you. Deep.”
“God. Yeah. Oh...” He moaned, bucking up harder.”More. Love you.”
Whimpering, Quince pulled Topaz into his thrusts. He bent forward, mouth wrapping around a bare shoulder and working up a mark.
Topaz’s cry sounded as that tight-tight body rippled around him.
“Oh!” He jerked, filling the condom as he came.
His lover settled down, humming soft and low, holding him tight.
He got the condom off, just as awkwardly as it had gone on and then he gathered Topaz close, letting his eyes close.”Mm... Quincy. Love you.” Thin fingers stroked his hair, pet him. “’s good.”
He nodded, nuzzling into the touch. “Love you, Topaz.”
There was a low groan from across the hot tub and then Stephan screamed, the look on his face ecstasy.
Topaz giggled. “Wait, you’ll hear Ku next.”
Sure enough, a low, musical, oddly-soft noise filled the air, the water stopping its rocking.
Quince buried his own giggles against Topaz’ skin. They laughed, hilarity growing louder, stronger and then, to his surprise, two more giggles joined theirs.
It felt good to laugh, especially given the awkwardness they’d shared earlier.
A splash of water caught Topaz in the neck and those pretty eyes gleamed. “Oooh! Water fight! Be on my team?””Nowhere else I’d rather be,” he murmured. Leaning in, he took another kiss, using it as cover to gauge the best angle. As the kiss ended, he sent a spray toward Leo and Stephan.
Stephan’s laugh was sweet, almost as happy as Topaz’s and the war -- wet and filled with easy laughter -- was on.He shielded Topaz as best he could, aiming most of his spray at Stephan, which seemed to be keeping Leo from doing much more than trying to protect his own lover.Finally they all settled, breathing hard, laughing harder. “I think we won, Gemini.”
Quince chuckled. “How can you tell?”
“’Cause he said it first.” Leo grinned over at them, rolling his eyes. “He’s bad that way.”
“Hey, love, you’re right -- we won.” Grinning, he bent to give Topaz a kiss.
“Yep.” Topaz opened to him easily, tongue sliding deep.
Quince had to admit, the evening was going far better than he’d expected.
Chapter Thirteen
Topaz woke up in his bed, curled around Quincy for the second time. Sweet. This time, he’d brought muffins up when they’d gone to bed. Lots of muffins. Juice, too. He stayed put, nuzzling and licking Quincy’s shoulder. Yes. Staying here.
Quincy made a snuffling noise and the hand at his back petted sleepily. He giggled, cuddling closer. He loved this man. His hands stroked Quince’s hair, easing his lover awake.
Quincy groaned a little and nuzzled against him. “Wha’ time’s it?”
“Dunno.” He smiled. “I just can’t stop touching you.””Do I have to go to work?” Quincy asked, starting to sound a little more awake.
“Uh... no. It’s Saturday.” Topaz giggled. “We’re off ‘til Tuesday. Three-day weekend, yeah?”
“Oh, cool.” Quincy rolled, putting him underneath the warm body. “I guess I can wake up then.”
“Mmm... warm. Love you. Good morning.” Topaz stretched, rubbing and grinning.
Quincy smiled down at him, blue eyes shinning. “Good morning, love.”
Oh. Oh, that felt nice. “Say it again?”
“How about I say I love you instead?” Quincy licked at his lips, one hand sliding along his side and over his hip.”Okay.” He moaned, lips parting. “I like that.”
“Good. I love you.” Quincy kissed him, slowly. “I love you.” He got another kiss, too.
Topaz was melting inside, all warm and happy and home. “You make me so happy.”
“I like how you look when you’re happy, Topaz. I like how it makes me feel.” Quincy rubbed against him. “I like the way it smells in here. Like you.”
“I love the way you make the sheets smell.”
