."I love you, Kadras, and I'm sorry.I know you say it isn't our placeto struggle, but I still wish I had nothing but happiness for you."Kade smiled at Surial."You are happiness.My sorrow does not spring from you, butfrom myself.I do not know how not to be a Naik, but I am not one.I do not know howGuardians of the Wind - 166not to sing to the One who is All, yet I do not deserve my braids, my clanmarks.You donot bring this confusion; you remind me who I thought I was.""Your braids are in memory of all the ones you loved and lost, Kade.How could you notdeserve them? Do you not still mourn them? Are they not still in your heart?" Surialleaned up and separated out the braid he wore in his hair."Is it wrong of me to wearthis?"Kade reached out and stroked the piece of hair, a small smile blooming upon his face."You made that for me, because you love me.How can something so lovely be wrong?""And you wear yours for the people you love.How can something so lovely be wrong?""I would have died for them, killed for them, for what they represent." Kade frowned andfinally confessed to his One the ache deep in his heart."And now I would give them up ifyou asked.That frightens me, how much I would sacrifice at your whim.""It frightens me as well, Kadras.That I have that kind of power over you." Surial's handsnever stopped moving, keeping that connection between them."That you give me thatpower.""You are my One, you hold my home, my heart and my happiness within your hands.They belong to no one else."Kade sighed softly, his aches fading with his words and the strokes of his One's hands.No matter how much of his fear he released into Surial's care, it was always respected,eased, and replaced with peace."You give me an incredible gift and a huge responsibility and I am honored to carry it."Surial brought his braid up to his lips and kissed it and then Kade's lips."I can promiseyou that I will never deliberately hurt you or take advantage of the trust you put in me.Your happiness is mine."Kade grabbed one of Surial's hands and kissed each finger, nibbling gently on thefingertips, nuzzling his near full beard against the palm."You ease my heart, and I amnever so sure of my place in the world than I am when I am near you.""Then we have indeed been blessed by the winds because I am never happier than whenyou are near me." Surial's hand jerked and he chuckled."You tickle."Mischief flared within Kade, his relief and pleasure making him almost giddy.Hechuckled and rubbed his chin against the thin, pale skin of Surial's inner wrist."Do I?"Surial laughed outright this time, his hand jerking strongly in reaction."You do, my lion."Guardians of the Wind - 167"And where else might you be ticklish, my One?" Kade grabbed Surial's arm and beganworking his way toward his sensitive elbow.Surial was wriggling in earnest now, trying to get his arm out of Kade's grasp, giggling asKade's beard slid across sensitive skin.He nibbled on the smooth skin, grinning as his One twisted and laughed.The sound wasbright, happy and it fostered joy within Kade.He wanted to hear it again and again.Surial tried to retaliate, fingers dancing over Kade's ribs, beneath his chin, along his hips,but Kade was bigger, stronger, and less ticklish.Kade wrapped his arms around Surial and rolled, grinning down at his One."I have younow."Then he bent and began to run his chin along Surial's belly, periodically stopping tonibble softly at the exposed flesh.Surial's abdomen jumped beneath his touch, muscles bunching and releasing as his Onewriggled and laughed.Kade moved lower, finding traces of Surial's seed, salt-sweet likethe desert sea and he forgot his tickling as he mouthed along the black curls.He nuzzled,breathing in Surial's musk, sucking softly at one hipbone before lapping along the creasewhere thigh met torso.The wriggling stopped as Surial began to arch, moving into thetouches instead of away from them.The laughter faded, sounding now and then, but moreoften the sounds were soft whimpers and moans.Kade licked and nibbled, keeping away from Surial's shaft, slowly driving his One'sarousal higher.He made love to Surial's skin, humming and moaning, his own bodyarching with passion.He began to purr as he lapped up the clear drops that fell upon thewhite skin of Surial's belly, feeding himself from their passion.Surial's hands sunk intohis braids, holding tightly.Every now and then his One would try to guide him, urge hismouth toward the reddened shaft, but he resisted and Surial's hands would soften theirhold, only to tighten again moments later as they began the dance again [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
