Chapter 26
As the night drew to a close, Raul helped Ji-Su back into his clothes then redressed himself.
Together, they walked out of the tent. Raul couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt this sated and happy.
In fact, this might be the first time he’d experienced this feeling.
He looked down at Ji-Su. His lover was beautiful in the warm, golden light of the garden’s lanterns, his hair rumpled, and plump, kiss-swollen lips curved in a content smile.
They approached Everett and Solan, who lounged together on a chaise, waving goodbye to guests as they left the garden. Solan grinned when he saw them.
“You two look... satisfied.”
“We had a wonderful time,” Ji-Su said in response to Solan. “Thank you for inviting us.”
“Everything sorted out?” Everett asked.
Raul looked down at Ji-Su again. This night had given him everything he wanted. “Perfectly,” he answered.
Solan slipped off the lounger and came over to give Ji-Su a hug.
“Are you happy?” he asked in a low whisper.
“Very happy.”
“And did you get those shivery tingles again?”
Ji-Su breathed a quiet laugh. “So many tingles.”
“Good. I’m happy for you.”
Raul watched the two as they whispered to each other with their heads close, red hair pressed to blond. He heard them of course, but they obviously wanted the conversation to be between them only so he let them talk while exchanging a quietly amused glance with Everett.
“Thank you for your help,” Ji-Su said.
“All I did was provide the setting. Whatever happened after you arrived was all you.”
Solan let Ji-Su go and plopped back down on his seat next to Everett.
“Ready?” Raul asked.
Ji-Su nodded.
“Let’s go home.”
HAND IN HAND, JI-SU walked into the ranch house with Raul. Gloria took in their clasped hands and the fresh bite marks on Ji-Su’s throat. A smile brightened her face before she schooled her features into a polite, professional expression.
“Welcome home, Mr. Raul. Mr. Ji-Su.”
Ji-Su tried not to blush but failed. They returned Gloria’s greeting then went upstairs. Not wanting to make any assumptions, he stopped at his bedroom door. But when he reached for the doorknob Raul caught his wrist.
“No. From now on, you sleep with me.”
Ji-Su immediately whispered his agreement. “Okay.”
Raul pulled him into his arms. He leaned down, brushing their lips together in a barely there kiss. “You’re so soft and sweet.”
“And you like sweet,” Ji-Su said remembering the night Raul had told him that’s what he liked.
“Mmm. I do. A lot.”
Before Ji-Su so much as blinked, Raul pressed him up against the wall, and kissed him deep and full of passion.
When Ji-Su wrapped his arms around Raul’s neck, Raul lifted him up slightly, the change in position allowing him to feel Raul’s stiff cock against his belly.
Ji-Su moaned. He would have let Raul make love to him right then and there.
But at the sound of footsteps drawing near, Raul fully swept him up into his arms and carried him the short distance to his bedroom.
Inside, Raul kicked the door closed, took him directly to his bed, and laid him down.
“This is where I’ve wanted you to be since the first night you arrived here,” he said in a voice laced with satisfaction.
“I can hardly believe it,” Ji-Su said as he looked up at his new lover. “For the longest time I thought you only saw me as an obligation. Someone you’d basically done charity for.”
A frown creased Raul’s forehead. “I promise I never saw you that way. I only wanted to make sure you were okay.”
“I am. Thanks to you.”
“Good.”
Raul undressed him again, then rose from the bed to strip off his own clothes. Once he was naked, he lay down on his side next to him. Propping his head up with one hand, he used the other to trail up and down Ji-Su’s naked form.
“Even your birthmark is sweet.” Raul brushed his fingers over a dark pink patch of skin on Ji-Su’s pelvis that was vaguely shaped like a strawberry. He slid down and kissed it.
“I don’t think it actually tastes sweet,” Ji-Su said with a laugh.
“I disagree,” Raul spoke low and rumbly with his lips pressed to Ji-Su’s skin. “All of you tastes sweet.”
He moved his lips across to brush them over the underside of Ji-Su’s cock. Ji-Su shivered at the sensual kiss.
“You want me to taste you here, sweetheart?” he asked.
That rumbly voice caused shivers to race down Ji-Su’s spine. He licked his suddenly dry lips. “If you want to.”
Raul’s laugh was mostly a rush of air blowing over Ji-Su’s cock, making it twitch in response.
“Oh. I want to.” Raul grasped both of Ji-Su’s hands and brought them to the sides of his head. “Hold on.”
He slid his hands into Raul’s thick, silky hair, holding on for dear life as Raul slid his mouth over the head of his cock and then down, all the way to the base, licking the shaft as he went to get it wet.
Ji-Su’s mouth fell open on a breathy moan as Raul sucked him off with long, slow pulls.
He closed his eyes, letting his focus narrow to nothing but the hot feel and soft sounds of Raul’s lips gliding over his cock.
His thighs trembled from an overload of sensation and when Raul paused to repeatedly flick his tongue over the sensitive skin of his cock head, Ji-Su cried out, hips thrusting up hard.
Raul held him down and kept up the lightning-fast movement of his tongue.
Then he went back to sucking, with short, quick movements that sent Ji-Su right to the edge of climax.
“Raul! I’m close, so close,” he gasped frantically as his release coiled behind his navel.
Raul pulled off his cock with a soft pop.
Ji-Su blinked up at him through a haze of arousal.
Raul had risen to his knees, sitting back on his heels, and he had one hand wrapped around his own stiff cock.
As Ji-Su watched, a clear bead of pre-cum slipped from the head, sliding down the shaft to disappear behind Raul’s fingers.
“Need to come with you, sweetheart,” Raul said roughly.
Before Ji-Su could process the words through his lust clouded mind, Raul hauled him up into his arms, settling him on his lap.
Ji-Su wrapped his limbs around him. The new position allowed them to kiss while Raul stroked both their cocks in his big hand.
They did so fiercely, messy and desperate, Ji-Su practically sobbing against Raul’s mouth as he hurtled toward his release.
Raul tightened his grip as he stroked and firmly thumbed the head of Ji-Su’s cock.
His hips shot forward and he cried out sharp and loud as he came in a hot burst of sparkling sensation.
“That’s it,” Raul rumbled low and throaty as he worked Ji-Su through his orgasm.
When his release faded to aftershocks, Ji-Su leaned his head back to look up at Raul. “I want you to come too,” he said as he stared into his lover’s glowing amber eyes. “Please, Raul.” With the last of his energy, he squeezed his thighs around Raul’s waist to urge him on.
“Of course, sweetheart,” Raul said before he leaned down to press a kiss to Ji-Su’s mouth.
As they kissed, his fangs nipped Ji-Su’s bottom lip, and he stole miniscule drops of blood. A heartbeat later, he began to climax, a deep groan rumbling in his chest. Ji-Su felt the vibration of it against his own chest as his vampire lover’s release poured over both their cocks.
Ji-Su moaned, trembling with oversensitivity.
With the exception of the heaving of his chest, Raul was still.
Ji-Su let his body go limp, but he didn’t fall.
Raul’s arm tightened around him, holding him close.
Exhausted, Ji-Su lay his head on Raul’s shoulder and they stayed in place for a moment, catching their breath.
Finally, Raul shifted to lay them down next to each other.
As their breathing calmed, they gazed into each other’s eyes.
The glow in Raul’s irises was banked but still visible.
“Want this with you every night,” Raul said softly.
Ji-Su reached up to brush his finger along the hard, stubbled line of Raul’s jaw. “Being here with you like this is exactly where I want to be.”
