Rune’s room, was so much like Rune,
it made Luke smile. He looked around, much though he would rather look at
something, or rather someone, else. The walls were covered with pictures and
posters of dancers in various poses. Every flat surface glittered, blinded or
shone. There were brightly coloured scarves, glittering, jewel encrusted boxes,
and silver, both bright and dull – wrist-bands, statuettes, bangles, and all
kinds of jewellery and decorations. It was wild, colourful and chaotic. Yep,
just like Rune.
One of the posters on the wall,
caught his attention. It was the hair. It was incredible.
“You used to be a dancer.”
“I still am.”
“No, I mean a professional dancer.”
“I still am.” Rune took his hand
and drew him away from the poster. “Come, dance with me.”
Luke frowned. There was something
that bothered him about Rune’s responses, the tightness in his voice. He forgot
all about it, though, when Rune let go of his hand, and pulled him into his
arms, pressing his body against him, until he could feel every curve and every…
Oh yeah, now THAT diverted his attention, completely.
Carefully, he put his hand in the
small of Rune’s back, shivering at the feel of the warm, soft skin under his
fingers.
Rune smiled, and kissed him gently.
Pulling back, Luke stared into the depths of Rune’s eyes and felt as if he was
falling into them. They dominated his vision and touched something deep inside
that made him want to hold on tightly and never let him go. He was shocked.
That wasn’t the way things were supposed to go. It was supposed to be a bit of
fun, a wild night with a beautiful boy and then… then what? Then nothing. But
now…
“You’re beautiful,” he breathed and
Rune grinned.
“I know,” he said. Then the grin
slipped. “But it sounds different when you say it.”
“What do you mean?”
“Just kiss me again.”
Surprised, Luke complied and Rune
hugged him closer still, pressing his body so hard against him he could hardly
breathe. His hand moved from Rune’s back, to fist in his hair. It was so soft,
like his lips.
“Oh Luke, Luke touch me,” Rune
moaned softly against his lips, “touch me everywhere.”
Luke gasped and shuddered, running
his hands over Rune’s back and buttocks. Rune hitched and wrapped one leg
around him, pulling him in even closer. His hands were clenched, bunched up in
Luke’s shirt.
“Take your clothes off, Luke. I
want to touch you, too.”
Although he spoke the words, Rune
didn’t let go. In fact, he clung even harder, his kiss becoming hot and almost
desperate.
“You have to let me go first,” Luke
said, a smile in his voice.
Almost pushing him away, Rune broke
free and began to tear off his remaining clothes. Luke was frozen as more and
more of the pale skin was revealed. When he was naked, Rune threw himself back
onto the bed and lay there, among the bright cushions and throws, a slender,
pale candle haloed with flame. Still Luke couldn’t move – he couldn’t think. He
was entranced, ensorcelled by beauty, drunk with it.
“Luke,” Rune moaned, and snapped
him out of his trance.
With trembling fingers, he slipped
off his shirt and tugged his tshirt over his head. He heard Rune gasp as he unzipped
his trousers, and began to wriggle out of them. With a desperate moan, Rune
leaped up, kneeling on the bed in front of him. Small hands tugged at the soft
leather and, as soon as they were low enough, he laid his head on Luke’s belly,
breathing in his scent. He turned his head, to kiss the hot skin, as his hands
caressed Luke’s backside. Luke let his head fall back and his hips thrust
forwards. He whimpered when Rune rubbed his cheek against his freed manhood. Ah
hell, that felt good.
When Rune pulled away and fell back
onto the bed, Luke felt cold and bereft. Rune was panting. “Hurry, take off the
rest. I’m cold. Please, Luke.”
Made clumsy by his desperation,
Luke struggled out of the rest of his clothes and fell onto the bed, next to
Rune. Suddenly, everything went still.
As desperate as they had been; now
they were lying together, naked and exposed, they no longer felt the burning
desire to consummate their love. Instead, they lay quietly and stared into each
other’s eyes, their hands exploring every inch of the other’s body, with light,
teasing strokes.
Luke stroked the hair out of Rune’s
face and lightly traced his features with one finger. “I’ve never seen anyone
so beautiful and strange and wild as you are.”
“Strange and wild? Is that what you
think I am?”
“Absolutely.”
Rune laughed softly. “Yeah… I
guess. And beautiful? You think I’m beautiful?”
“You know I do. You’re so beautiful
you make me breathless.”
“I think you should know that I
have no self control where making love to men who think I’m beautiful is
concerned. It’s the greatest aphrodisiac to me.”
“Men? Have there been many men?” Of
course he’d known there would have been. Rune was just too beautiful, too sexy
and too… confident, for there not to have been many lovers before him. After
all, he was neither beautiful, strange nor wild. Surely he was not the usual
type of man Rune attracted. Although, there were many at the club that night
who were far more so than he… and Rune had chosen him before them.
“Yes, many.” Rune looked sad,
wistful. “Too many.”
“Too many?”
“I’ve…allowed myself to… to be…”
“Used?”
“No. No not that. Well… not just
that. Influenced, I suppose. Influenced by men who tell me I’m beautiful then…”
“Then what?”
“Leave me,” he whispered and closed
his eyes, nestling into Luke’s side.
Luke never knew quite what
possessed him to say what he said next, although he meant it absolutely. “I’ll
never leave you, Rune, never. I swear it.”

Oooh, these two are both hot and sweet! Can't wait to read more of them!
ReplyDeleteOh, that was sweet (and hot). I really liked this piece.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I hope Luke keeps his promise.
ReplyDeleteThis is heartbreakingly sweet! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the comments. Rune and Luke are fun to write, although it's hard not to let them go TOO far. We don't too much detail in a flash, I think :) Next time, I think Luke will find out something about Rune that tests his resolve. Or not :)
