Sky and Storm ( Warriors of Vis #1)(27)
CHAPTER XII
The Arrival
SKY WAS PROPPED AGAINST his pillows, a slow smile curving his lips. He was too excited to sleep, but he didn’t want to fidget for fear of waking Storm. The poor man needed some rest. He’d put up a valiant fight, trying to stay awake through the aromatic bath. Then he’d tried to resist Sky’s slow massage, and he’d succeeded for longer than Sky had given him credit for. Half an hour later, Storm had fallen into a deep sleep. The more he rested, the more relaxed he became.
Sky had been watching him, noticing every time Storm’s face relaxed more. Less of a frown, less of a tight set to his jaw, and finally, his usual way of sleeping, half naked, with the covers barely covering his ass, splayed on his belly and taking up most of the bed. It was as if the pressure was slowly lifting from Storm’s shoulders, allowing him to regain the strength he’d lost during the long trip.
Storm was beautiful. Sky could hardly keep himself from reaching out and stroking every inch of his husband’s body. He couldn’t, though, no matter how hard he craved the touch. Storm was a sound sleeper. Men could be dancing and singing nearby, and he’d still enjoy his deep sleep. There were only two exceptions. Whenever there was a physical commotion or any imminent threat, he was up on his feet and in fighting stance. And then there was Sky’s touch. No matter how light, how brief a brush of Sky’s lips, Storm would immediately awake. He’d be hard and needy, and he’d drive Sky insane. In normal circumstances, Sky would give in and make sure they rested later. But these were not normal circumstances. Storm had been away, fighting rebels, and riding for ages. He’d rushed home, and had arrived exhausted. Sky wondered how his husband managed to keep himself upright after all that strain. Storm, always a model of strength, both physical and of character.
Sky sighed and turned to his right, positioning himself so that he could have a better view of Storm. He could at least watch, count all Storm’s scars and see if any new wounds had been inflicted on his precious body. Next time, next time Sky would be with him. Protecting him, having him in sight, always. He would no longer have to worry about Storm’s safety.
Storm stirred and Sky held his breath. Too soon, much too soon for him to wake up. Storm had other plans though. He stretched, eyes still closed, and his hand brushed Sky’s torso. A contented smile graced those full, red lips as Storm blinked, trying to focus his eyes.
“Good evening, gorgeous,” Sky whispered, hoping his low voice would lull Storm back to sleep. Storm squirmed between the sheets until he was pressed against Sky. Storm nuzzled Sky’s neck, the touch ticklish, yet arousing. Sky laughed and wrapped his arm around Storm’s shoulders, holding him close.
“This is the only way I should ever wake up. In your arms. You are my home, Sky.” The words were muffled by the tight hug, but Sky understood them. He was home, and so was Sky.
They held each other for what seemed like forever. The more awake he became, the more restless Storm got. Sky was amused and turned on by the way he kept trying to get more friction between them.
“I think I’ve kept you waiting long enough,” Sky whispered. He pushed Storm on his back, having him lean against the sea of pillows that adorned their bed. Sky laughed at his husband’s struggle to remove the covers, but at the same time Storm’s eagerness made his cock twitch. He straddled Storm, sitting up just enough to touch Storm’s erect cock, but not provide any kind of release.
“You’ve been riding that horse of yours for a long time. You’re certainly still tired,” Sky said, running a hand through his hair. It was lighter now, from all the time he’d spent in the sun, training with Eagle. “You should stay there, looking all gorgeous, and watch me ride you. I’m pretty sure you’re better than any other stallion.”
Storm laughed and twined his hands in Sky’s hair, pulling him down for a kiss. It was brief and full of promise.
“How would you know? I’m the only one you’ve ridden.”
Sky shrugged and looked away from Storm. “Well, I hear not wanting to fuck anyone else is a good sign you’re pretty good at it.”
With a quick wink which made Storm smile and blow him a kiss, Sky leaned over to the side table. He dipped his fingers into the jar of thick oil and started opening himself up.
“You know I love to do that,” Storm complained, his easy smile turning into a pout.
“You do. You love it so much that you can spend hours just fingering me and watching me beg for your cock. I can’t be patient tonight, my love, I need you.” Sky leaned to brush his lips against Storm’s. “Enjoy my ministrations, Storm. We both know you enjoy watching me just as much.”
Storm laughed and thrust up, his cock pressing against Sky’s hand. Maybe he was as impatient. Sky added more oil to his hole and Storm’s cock. As he sunk down on Storm’s length, Sky held his gaze. He enjoyed the familiar, yet always exciting stretch, and he loved seeing the same pleasure reflected in Storm’s expression. Storm furrowed his eyebrows, focusing on Sky’s face, although his eyes kept drifting to where their bodies connected.
“Gods, I’ve missed this,” Storm said and moaned, the sound blissful music to Sky’s ears. He would never get enough of hearing how much Storm enjoyed fucking him. Making love to him. Being his in every way.
Sky started moving, up and down his eyes fixed on Storm, watching for the briefest grimace of pleasure, for every moan and sigh, for every curse spat out through clenched teeth, for every quiver of Storm’s appetizing muscles. By now, Sky was more attuned to all these signs. He knew on instinct when to push harder and when to slow down. When to caress and fondle, when to kiss, and when to stop touching. He wanted this to last, to keep bringing Storm to the edge and then ease them both off it. Sky needed this to go on for as long as possible, to have his fill of his husband. With so much unrest, it was impossible to tell how long they had before someone barged in with more awful news. However brief their time, Sky would make sure they were using all of it wisely.
