The Bohemians (9 page)

“God, Topaz, you make me so hot. All the time -- I feel like a teenager again.”

“It’s because you were made for me, for my arms.” Topaz sounded so sure. “I love you.”

“I love you, too.” He closed their mouths together again, his passion sending his tongue deep. He felt Topaz melt, felt the heat and hardness on his belly, felt those thin fingers tighten.

“Are you gonna be okay if we do this?” he asked, fingers stroking over Topaz’s back.

“There’s nothing about you that I would be ashamed of.” Topaz smiled at him. “I love you.”

Quince blushed at that -- he supposed he’d deserved it. “I meant your back, lovely man.”

“Oh!” Topaz’s giggles were sweet, pure and happy. All for him. “I’d forgotten!”

“Oh, cool. I guess that means it’s feeling better.” He took Topaz’ mouth, taking in the giggles, swallowing that happiness into himself.

He heard Stephan’s laughter, Leo’s low, amused chuckles. “Looks like the pain relief you suggested worked, lover. Quince fixed him right up.”

He blushed hard, but didn’t stop kissing, hands moving over smooth skin.

Topaz leaned forward, whispering. “The water feels good, I’ll be sore tomorrow. Need you now. Please Gemini, I want you.”

“Condoms are in my pants, love.”

A soft whimper sounded. “I’ll grab them.”

“K. Hurry.” He kissed Topaz and let him go, panting.”Condoms?” murmured Stephan. “Sunshine is clean as a whistle.”

Leo chuckled. “Cleaner, even, with all that high fiber bread.”

Topaz blushed and didn’t say a word, just carefully stretched out for his pile of clothes.

“And what about you two? And the people you fuck?” he snapped, face flushing. The truth was, he wore a condom for Topaz’ sake more than his own; while he was a one-man man, that meant one at a time, not just one in total.

Leo frowned, arms circling Stephan. “What do you mean? We don’t sleep around. We trust Topaz. He wouldn’t bring anything home to us. We didn’t mean to upset you, Quincy.”

His cheeks heated further and he looked down at the water lapping at his skin. “I’m sorry, that was rude. I guess I’m a bit touchy about the... well the you two and Topaz issue.”

Topaz settled back in the water, hiding an ugly scrape on that thin-thin hip, eyes still and quiet. “I’m sorry. Should I turn the bubbles back on?”

Quince pulled Topaz close, leaning for foreheads together. “I’m sorry,” he murmured. “That was really rude.”

To his surprise and pleasure, Topaz just relaxed, body going easy against him. “It’s a weird situation. I love you, Gemini.”

“Oh... I love you, too, Topaz.” He smiled and kissed his lover, focus narrowing to just this man in his arms. It felt good, to have Topaz cuddle into him, to have those lips parted, those pretty eyes focused on him.

He got the condom on somehow, the water fighting him every step of the way. Then he was holding those sweet hips in his hands and pulling Topaz down onto him, groaning at the pleasure of it.

“Oh...” Topaz purred for him, loose and easy in his hands. So pretty. So happy. Quince lost himself in Topaz’ eyes, Topaz’ body. “So good. Love you.” Topaz licked at his lips, breathing against his jaw. “I do.”

“I know.” He played with Topaz’ tongue, hands moving his lover slowly up and down on his cock.

It was so good. So good.

He heard Leo’s low, soft groan. “Beautiful. Fuck, they’re lovely, Stephan.”

“I know my love, like a sunrise over a garden of yellow tulips.”

He 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.” Topaz took another kiss, then another. “Quincy...”

“Yeah?” Quincy asked, voice distracted, eyes going dark.

“Want you, love.” Topaz purred, shifting, rubbing, hard and so happy.

“Oh...” Quincy moaned. “Yeah. Yeah, love, I want you, too.”

Quincy reached for the condoms and lube, giving him the condom, nipping at his lips. “Put it on me, love?”Topaz nodded, unfastening the package and easing it down onto Quincy’s cock with only a little awkwardness. He was getting better at this part.

Quincy moaned. “Oh, god, Topaz... feel’s good.”

His Gemini’s fingers were shaking just a little as Quincy opened the lube. Then they were sliding against him, teasing as if Quincy weren’t almost shaking, eyes dark with lust above him.

“Yes. Good.” He met Quincy’s eyes. “Love the feel of you, filling me, sliding inside. Love holding you.”

Quincy nodded, moaning.

The fingers at his hole pushed in, first one and then two and then one again, Quincy stretching, playing, slicking him up. Topaz arched, knees parting, showing his need, letting Quincy see everything.

“Oh, God... love...” Quincy kissed him, the flavors of strawberries and need and want filling his mouth.

Whimpering, he nodded, hands sliding over Quincy’s shoulders, petting and stroking. Loved him. Needed.Quincy finally pulled his fingers away, the blunt heat of his lover’s cock replacing them immediately. “Want me?” Quincy asked, love and laughter coloring his Gemini’s voice.

“With all I am.” Topaz could bathe in that sound, wrap himself tight inside it. “My love.”

Quincy sank into him with a moan. Stretching him, filling him, loving him.

“Oh...” His own groan filled the air, sliding around Quincy’s and mingling.

“Oh, love you,” whimpered Quincy, setting a gentle rhythm, taking him with slow heat. The motion was becoming familiar, welcome, an external heartbeat as necessary as his own. Quincy closed their mouths together in a kiss, tongue thrusting lazily.

They rocked together for what seemed like hours. Hours of kisses and touches and thrusts and happiness.

“Ung... coming,” groaned Quincy, thrusts becoming quick, graceless jerks. “Oh...”

Topaz focused on it, watched his Gemini’s face in passion. So good. The pleasure made Quincy’s face flush rose, the blue eyes so dark and sightless. So pretty. He arched, hand pumping his cock. So beautiful. His love.”I love you.” Quincy nuzzled his neck, tongue licking at his skin.

“Love. Oh, Quince!” Topaz arched, offering more skin.”Mmm...” Quincy murmured against his skin, licking and nibbling. “Come for me, love, come on my cock. Let me feel you.”

Oh! Topaz jerked, lips falling open, arousal slamming through him.

“Please, love, now, want to feel you now.”

His entire body came, muscles rippling around Quincy’s prick. Quincy moaned, shuddering softly, hands petting him. “God, love, if I hadn’t just come you’d have pulled another one out of me.”

“Oh...” He blushed and grinned, moving under Quincy’s hand. “Make me feel so sexy.”

“Oh, you don’t need me for that, Topaz. I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone sexier.”

Quincy kissed him, distracting him as the long cock slid out of his body. He shivered, moaning and happy and home. Quincy curled up next to him, still nuzzling his neck, warm fingers sliding over his belly and tracing small circles.

He giggled, watched. He was pretty sure he couldn’t be too much happier. “I brought muffins up.”

“What kind?” Quincy asked, fingers playing over his hips, teasing the line of flesh where his curls began.

“Uh...” He squirmed, laughing harder, cock threatening to fill again. “Blueberry? Blackberry? I don’t... Quincy!””You don’t Quincy? Oh, but you do, love, you were Quincy-ing just a few moments ago.” His Gemini managed to say it with a straight face and then the laughter burst through.

Topaz rolled with laughter, fingers finding Quincy’s ribs and tickling. He loved this man so much. They rolled on the bed together, fingers digging into ribs and searching out other places that tickled.

At last Quincy rolled onto his back with a sigh. “Oh man, my sides hurt. I haven’t laughed like that in a long, long time, love.”

“Felt good. Felt so good.” Topaz snuggled close. “Thank you.”

“Mmhm. I love you.” Quincy’s stomach growled loudly and his lover laughed. “I think maybe we should eat those muffins now, love.”

He nodded. This was what he’d needed, what he wanted -- laughing and kisses and breakfast in bed.

Quincy sat up and leaned over the bed, finding the basket with the muffins in it. “Are we allowed to eat in bed?”

“Mm-hmm. No squishing the muffins in the sheets.”Quincy pouted. “Damn.”

Topaz giggled and stole a muffin -- cranberry, it looked like. “I’m so mean.”

“Yep, the meanest.” Quincy was smiling at him though, eyes warm.

“Yeah.” He settled on his butt, nibbling. “What do you want to do this weekend?”

“Is staying here and making love until we’re two dried out husks an option?”

“Uh-huh. In fact, I could so handle that. We’ll have to buy more condoms and some lube though, we’re running low.”

Quincy nodded and his skin flushed a light rose. “I’ve been thinking about that actually.”

Topaz arched an eyebrow, just a little worried. “Yeah?””Yeah, I... well I want to be able to make love to you skin on skin, you know? To really feel you around my cock, to be able to shoot inside you instead of into a condom.”
