Rat

continued

His feelings, his wants all crystallized into one powerful certainty. If Marius was willing to give, so was Rat. Kissing, sex, it didn't matter so long as they stayed close. Maybe this was a fleeting thing, but it almost didn't matter if it lasted a month or a thousand years. After that orb had filled him with doubt, he needed to forget, to find something good in today.

"If you want me to stop, for any reason, say so," he said, turning to drop kisses on his throat and the juncture of his shoulder. If Marius did not stop him, Rat was too tempted to nudge Marius into bed, to make love. He needed so deeply.

Rat laughed, low and throaty, before letting the sound get swallowed up in the kiss. His hips pressed down against Marius', not quite grinding so much as making him aware of their closeness, the pressure. Skin touched skin, both of them lean and warm. It wasn't the same as Grey, there was no replacing him. Rat was fully aware that it was Marius he was kissing, that it was Marius who was filling him with need.

"I won't scare you."
