Last Time On `A Game Of Poker':

 

The redhead turned to see Reever walking towards him, a permanently bored look on his face.

 

"Komui wants you in his office. He has another mission for you."

 

And Now, The Continuation

 

A Game of Poker, Chapter 4

Second Night

 

The redhead snuck quietly through the dense trees of the forest, stepping carefully over raised roots and trying to avoid the outlines of twigs and dry underbrush he could see by the weak moonlight that filtered down through the trees. He wasn't perfectly silent, but luckily the sounds of the Akuma covered his own noises up.

 

A small group of Akuma circled the old, abandoned church Komui had sent him to investigate. A ghostly priest apparently appeared here to any traveler who stopped by at night. The phenomenon was likely due to Innocence, which had been confirmed by the Finder team back in town. The redhead eyed the crowd of Akuma, then turned his gaze to the church. It would be best to find a path inside that wouldn't get him spotted by the Akuma.

 

He'd worry about the Akuma after he got the Innocence and could attack them from the direction they'd be least expecting - from behind.

 

Finally spotting a way mostly hidden by trees, Lavi quietly began making his way towards it. Within five minutes, he had slipped past the killing machines flying overhead and into the church without any alarm being raised.

 

He grinned to himself but remained wary of knocking over a loose pebble and alerting the Akuma outside to his presence. Lavi walked quietly along the crumbling wall of the church, making his way towards the front. The altar was the most likely place for the Innocence to be hidden, after all.

 

The roof overhead was mostly gone, but clouds had rolled across the moon and made it hard for him to see the loose rocks underneath his feet. He slowed down, taking a few more small steps forward before freezing in shock. Up until that moment, the darkness and the few still-standing pillars had hidden the altar from view, along with the person standing before it. Lavi knew the figure couldn't be the ghostly priest, since no priest he knew wore what he was sure was a suit.

 

He couldn't be certain in the dark, but the coat the person wore reached down to his knees, unlike a priest's robe which would reach to the floor. The redhead couldn't tell if the man was transparent or not, the darkness prevented him from making out anything except basic details, but then he saw something glowing green in the person's hand. The figure wasn't facing him, but the slight hint of light from one side of the figure told Lavi the approximate position of the object.

 

It had to be the Innocence. Nothing else on Earth glowed that particular shade of green.

Just then, the clouds shifted and a beam of moonlight fell across both the altar and the person who stood before it. Lavi didn't need the man to turn around in order to recognize him. He was wearing a suit, as the redhead had thought, and it was one he recognized. Those dark, wavy locks held back in a high ponytail were achingly familiar.

 

Unthinkingly, he took another step forward, accidentally kicking a pebble. The noise was small, but very obvious inside the quiet church. He swore mentally, ducking behind the closest pillar instinctively. The sound of pebbles scattering across the floor from accidental kicks followed him.

 

Tyki turned, golden eyes narrowing slightly as he looked around.

 

"Who's there?" he asked. "Come out."

 

The Exorcist didn't move, heart racing as he stayed hidden. He had never expected to run into the Noah here, though in hindsight he should have realized there was a small chance. The world was only so large, after all. A tiny, miniscule chance existed, so long as he wasn't at HQ and the Black Order still raced the Millennium Earl for Innocence.

 

"I know you're there. Come out and save me the trouble of sending the Tease to find you."

 

With a deep breath to steel himself, Lavi stepped out from behind the pillar and into the moonbeams now illuminating the inside of the church. He and Tyki weren't even 20 feet apart, easily close enough for Lavi to see the Pleasure's golden eyes widen in surprise, then narrow again in amusement. The Noah casually tossed the Innocence to his other hand, bouncing it in his palm.

 

"I didn't expect it to be you, Lavi." There was a deliberate pause before Tyki said his name, emphasizing it. He extended the hand holding the green-glowing fragment. "I suppose this is what you're after?"

 

"It is. Will you give it to me peacefully or do I have to take it from you?" The Exorcist drew his hammer, activating the weapon and resting it across his shoulders. His arms shook slightly, but he couldn't let himself be distracted from the mission. If this truly was the 'calm before the storm' as Allen had put it, the Black Order would need more Exorcists. At the moment, he was only an Exorcist and Tyki was only a Noah. Even as he reminded himself of all that, he didn't want to fight. His arms still shook almost imperceptibly, making him wonder if he'd actually be able to attack if Tyki refused.

 

"Always so quick to violence, Exorcist." Tyki didn't seem worried in the least, only amused. "Why don't we settle this like gentlemen, over a game of cards?"

 

The redhead's eye followed the Innocence as the Pleasure tossed it again and caught it absently.

 

"Poker?" he asked, already knowing the answer. "What are the stakes?"

 

"The same as our first game, except this time, if I win-" The Noah held up the glowing crystal. "- this stays with me."

 

Lavi weighed his options. The poker game seemed like his best bet (no pun intended) to get the Innocence. He probably couldn't take Tyki in a fair fight, at least not when his emotions regarding the man were this confused. If he was being completely honest, he was glad there was an option for him to complete his mission that didn't include fighting the Pleasure.

 

"Fine." he agreed, but didn't deactivate his weapon. There were still Akuma outside he'd have to get past. "When and where?"

 

"My hotel room, of course. I was thinking we could play tonight." The Noah slipped the Innocence into his pocket, then closed his eyes as though concentrating on something. After a moment he opened them again and began walking towards the front doors of the church. As he passed the redhead, he added, "If you would follow me?"

 

He opened his mouth to protest, to say that the Akuma waiting outside would never let an Exorcist walk past them, but Tyki just kept walking. Lavi, hammer at the ready, began to follow. As soon as he left the walls of the church, he glanced upwards, prepared for a sudden attack.

 

All he saw was the nighttime sky, a clouds drifting peacefully across. He frowned in puzzlement, looking around for any sign of the Akuma that had been there minutes before, but saw nothing.

 

"Are you coming?" Tyki called to him, already several more steps ahead. The Noah was half-turned towards him, almost impatient.

 

Lavi let his weapon shrink back to pocket size and put it in it's holster. He didn't respond verbally, just started walking forward again. The Pleasure turned and the pair walked silently towards town, the Exorcist trailing several steps behind.

 

Line Break

 

"Show your cards."

 

Lavi growled in frustration as he showed his hand - two pair, Jacks and Kings - and Tyki showed his - four of a kind, Queens. This was the fifth hand they'd played, and Tyki had won every time. The Noah began to collect the cards into the deck and Lavi begged:

 

"One more hand." He had been the one to ask for another hand after losing the first, then another as he lost the second. He had been the one to suggest the fourth and fifth hands as well, but Tyki hadn't complained, just dealt the cards again.

 

This time, however, Tyki bound the deck with cord and set it aside. Lavi could feel lead settle in his chest and stomach, a chill seeping into his bones.

 

"Please, one more hand." he tried again, mind focused on the piece of Innocence they had been playing for, the one he had lost. He had never had it in the first place, but he had thought he'd be able to win it from the Noah, win just one hand and then perhaps go back to his own room. He hadn't been too sure about his plans after winning the Innocence, but the green glowing fragment was the important thing.

 

And he had lost it. It wasn't even ten feet from him, but he doubted he could knock out the Noah and get away safely with the Innocence. He was fairly certain the Pleasure wouldn't kill him, but he didn't want to test the theory or see how many attacks it would take for Tyki to lose whatever qualms he had about killing the redhead.

 

"Tyki-"

 

"I've lost interest in cards for the moment, lovely. I'd rather enjoy my prize now." The Noah stood and walked over to the bed, turning around to sit down on the plush mattress and beckoning Lavi forward with a hand. The Pleasure, as he had last time, had taken off most of his suit and wore only his pants and shirt with his hair let down. Lavi, unlike last time, had similarly removed all but his eyepatch, shirt, and pants.

 

The Exorcist didn't move, heat already stirring in his belly at the thought of what was about to happen for the second time. Even with his desire coaxing him to stand and walk over to Tyki, all he could think of was his failed mission. That Innocence could belong to an accommodator who could save Allen's or Yuu's or Lenalee's life, or, for all they knew, it could be the Heart. He couldn't just leave it alone, accept that he lost the card game, no matter how many times Bookman's voice echoed in his head and warned him against getting attached. The Black Order needed new Exorcists, so he needed that Innocence, even if he was only supposed to be an impartial observer.

 

"Just one more hand?" he asked, head bowed as conflicted emotions swept through him. His hands tightened into fists as he waited for the Noah's answer.

 

"I've already said 'no'." Tyki replied, voice edged with a bit of impatience. "Is this about the Innocence?"

 

Lavi nodded, still not looking up.

 

"You lost. As agreed, the Innocence is mine to do with as I please, as is your body. You belong to me for the night as well, Exorcist." Unwillingly, Lavi could feel his body heat further at the desire in those words, but Tyki's next words were like an ice bath. "Would it cure your reluctance if I destroyed the Innocence now?"

 

Lavi looked up at that, attempting to glare even as his worry showed through.

 

"If you do, I'm leaving right now." he threatened. As long as the Innocence stayed in one piece, there was a chance he could get it back somehow. If an opportunity presented itself, he could steal it and get away without having to fight. If Tyki destroyed it now, though, there would be no more chances.

 

Tyki seemed more amused by the threat than worried, raising a single eyebrow.

 

"Oh? You could try, but I've already made plans for us tonight, lovely. You wouldn't get very far, and I doubt you want to risk waking my darker nature. I'm sure I'd enjoy it just as much, but I'm fairly certain you would not." Tyki beckoned him again, the motion a bit more impatient. "Now come here. If you're a good boy, I might consider playing another hand of poker later."

 

Stiffly, Lavi pushed himself to his feet and walked over to the Noah. Maybe, if Tyki was willing to play later, maybe Lavi could win. He had to be a 'good boy' first, though, and maybe if he did that, maybe if he satisfied the Pleasure...

 

And maybe Lavi was just making excuses now so he wouldn't feel guilty about having something he had only had once and had wanted again for almost two weeks. He could worry about that 'maybe' later, like when he worried about his growing attraction for the Noah of Pleasure and whether or not he was forming an attachment to the man and whether or not he was already attached to his friends. He could contemplate all those at about the same time he wondered about the Panda's sex life - never.

 

He stood in front of Tyki, a rush of nervousness chasing the desire already pooled in his stomach. This would be his second time, with the man who had been his first, but last time he had been a lot more naked when Tyki had made his intentions completely clear. The Pleasure looked him up and down slowly, as if deciding something. Lavi waited, hands at his sides and skin tingling as the Noah's eyes passed over his body.

 

Hands suddenly slid up the front of his dark blue shirt, each taking a firm grip and then pulling the cloth through his body. Lavi shivered, both from the sudden chill and the reminder of just who it was he was with. Tyki dropped the shirt onto the ground next to Lavi's feet, then the hands returned. One slid to the small of Lavi's back, pulling the redhead closer while the other drifted even lower to caress the Exorcist's ass through the material of his pants.

 

Tyki placed a small kiss over Lavi's heart at the redhead's sharp intake of breath.

 

"Sit in my lap, Exorcist." he directed, pulling Lavi still closer. The younger man tried to comply, attempting to turn in Tyki's hold but the Noah refused to let him. "Facing me, lovely."

 

Flushing slightly, Lavi reached out to hold onto the other man's shoulders for balance as he lifted one of his legs. He settled his weight into the Pleasure's lap before moving his other leg, wrapping both legs around the Noah's waist instinctively and clinging to his shoulders for balance. Tyki's hand was still cupping his ass and the other was still around his lower back, but now both hands slid to wrap more firmly around the Exorcist.

Tyki nipped his ear, tongue tracing the shell as Lavi shivered in his hold. The redhead could feel an unmistakable hardness beneath him, just as he was sure the other man could feel his own arousal pressing into the man's abdomen.

 

"Take off my shirt, Lavi. Stop clinging - I won't let you fall."

 

Lavi slowly let go, hands sliding down the Noah's chest to the first button on his shirt. Fingers trembling slightly, he worked to undo the button. It took a bit longer than it should have, but he got it undone and moved on to the next, then the next, then the next until his hands were down by the belt level. Tyki nibbled on the curve of his neck, one hand sliding along the redhead's back in encouragement. The hand slid up to the nape of his neck, bringing him back up for a kiss.

 

Lavi's mouth opened automatically at the request of Tyki's tongue. The Noah explored his mouth hungrily, as though he was dying of thirst and Lavi's mouth the only source of water. Lavi moaned unintentionally, moving closer until his chest pressed against the Pleasure's and the buttons from the man's not-yet-gone dress shirt dug into his skin.

 

Tyki broke the kiss, breathing a bit heavier but not nearly as loud as the Exorcist's. He smirked and leaned backwards, falling onto the bed with Lavi following and landing on top of him. Before the redhead even knew he was down, Tyki rolled them so he was on top and kneeling in between Lavi's thighs.

 

"You... like this position, don't you?" Lavi asked as the Pleasure's hands began tracing his collarbone. The Noah leaned forward, capturing Lavi's lips with his own once again. The kiss was a bit harsher this time, teeth biting at Lavi's lower lip before Tyki drew said lip into his mouth, sucking on it. After that the man's tongue dove deep into Lavi's mouth, tasting him and sliding along the edges of the younger man's tongue, encouraging him to play.

 

Lavi moaned, hips bucking of their own accord to rub his growing arousal into Tyki's body. The Pleasure growled and broke the kiss, moving so his body was once again propped above Lavi's.

 

"I hope you'll forgive me my impatience." he said, tone insincere as he rested back onto his legs so his hands were free to grab at the Exorcist's pants. Lavi had no time to wonder what the Pleasure meant before the answer became clear, his pants, belt, and boxers sliding through him as his shirt had done, leaving him bare but for his eyepatch. He fought the urge to cover himself as golden eyes raked his body. The Noah had gotten rid of his own clothes as he had Lavi's, willing them to fall through his body before kicking them off the bed.

 

Tyki moved back over Lavi's body, licking a wet trail up the side of the Exorcist's neck before nipping along his jaw line to his mouth. He captured the redhead's lips in another bruising kiss, hips grinding against Lavi. Tyki moved away, saliva briefly connecting their tongues before collapsing. The Pleasure leaned close to Lavi's ear to whisper:

 

"For your sake I hope you have more stamina this time, because one round won't be enough to satisfy me."

 

"I can take whatever you give me." Lavi retorted breathlessly, hoping he was speaking the truth. Tyki's smirk sent chills through him, though what he felt was far from fear. That smirk held a promise, one he was curious to see fulfilled.

 

"I hope you mean that, lovely, though I doubt you'll be able to hold out long enough for me to fulfill all my fantasies tonight." For a moment it seemed as though the Pleasure regretted saying that, though Lavi couldn't understand why.

 

"Fantasies?" he asked as Tyki moved over his body towards the nightstand where a bottle of lotion was waiting.

 

"Don't flatter yourself, Exorcist. Not all of them are of you, though it may please you to know that you are in a few."

 

The redhead couldn't see the Noah's face, though something in his voice sounded false. Besides, he couldn't recall ever implying that the fantasies had anything to do with him.

 

The thoughts fled a moment later as lips met his in a much gentler kiss, one hand sliding through the thick red hair at the back of his head. Lavi let his eyes shut, returning the kiss as it grew more passionate. As the kiss broke, fresh air moved across his normally covered eye, both of Lavi's eyes opening wide in time to see Tyki drop his eyepatch off the side of the bed. He didn't understand. Tyki already knew what his hidden eye looked like, burned and changing colors, so why remove the eyepatch this time? The first time Tyki couldn't very well offend the redhead by asking him to put the patch back on, the Pleasure was too much of a gentleman for that, but he hadn't needed to remove it this time. Lavi had expected any subsequent encounters (well, after he had known to expect a 'next time') to be conducted while his eyeptach still hid his deformed eye.

 

The Pleasure met his eyes directly, no hint of disgust in their gold depths, only a trace of urgency.

 

"I hope you don't mind skipping the foreplay for now? I'll explore your body more thoroughly later." Tyki was already opening up the lotion bottle, squirting some onto his hand and coating his fingers. Lavi nodded, though his consent in the matter wasn't truly being asked for, spreading his legs wider to accommodate Tyki's hand.

 

One lubed finger traced his entrance before slowly pushing in. The redhead took a deep breath, concentrating on keeping his body relaxed as the finger began a circling motion he remembered from their first night together.

 

"Still so tight..." Tyki moaned, almost to himself. A second finger was then added, the Pleasure moving in for another kiss and to swallow Lavi's cry of surprise. The Noah had gone much slower their first time, revealing just how impatient the man was as a third finger joined the first two.

 

Lavi turned his head away from the kiss, hissing in pain as all three fingers stretched him, all three inside before he'd had time to adjust to two. Seeing this, Tyki slowed down, taking more time with his fingers and scissoring them wider to prepare the redhead for the coming intrusion more. His fingertips found Lavi's prostate, rubbing against that to take the Exorcist's mind away from the pain.

 

It worked like a charm, and soon the redhead was pushing back against his fingers, whining and moaning for more, calling his name breathlessly. The Noah removed his fingers, wiping them on the bed sheet and grabbing the still-open bottle of lotion. He quickly squeezed some onto his hand, running his slicked palm up and down his member to coat it before closing up the lotion and tossing it on the floor next to the bed. He'd need it again later but couldn't be bothered to put it back on the nightstand at the moment.

 

Lavi turned back to look at Tyki as the man grabbed his hips and pulled their bodies in line. The redhead's legs wrapped around the man's waist for the second time that night, feeling the tip of the other's manhood just probing his entrance.

 

"I'm putting it in now." Tyki warned, propping his body above Lavi's with his forearms. Lavi nodded, lifting himself for another kiss that broke off with the Exorcist hissing in pain. The redhead lifted his arms to cling to the Pleasure's back, Tyki's arms wrapping around behind the younger man's shoulder blades. The Exorcist could feel the slow progression of the Pleasure's arousal, moving past the tight ring of muscle and going deeper inside his body. As he had the first time, he felt like he was being split, but he could remember how good it had felt once the Noah had started moving and held on.

 

Tyki's voice murmured encouragement in his ear as he sheathed himself inside and paused to let Lavi adjust.

 

"Can I move now, lovely?" he asked after a few moments, voice breathless and strained with need. The redhead could feel the other's body trembling with the desire to thrust, making him wonder whether the Pleasure had bedded anyone since they had spent the night together and how often the man normally had sex, to be so needy and impatient when he had been so careful last time.

 

"Yeah... go ahead..." Lavi moaned, not quite ready but letting the Noah have what he so obviously needed. With a groan of what could have been appreciation, the Pleasure began to move. The thrusts were slow at first, but quickly sped up as Tyki found his rhythm. The redhead just clung tighter, the premature movements causing more pain than pleasure even as the older man hit his prostate with every inward thrust.

 

"God... Tyki, so good..." Lavi moaned as the pleasure overtook the pain, beginning to thrust back to take the Pleasure in even deeper. He cried out, shouting Tyki's name as the Pleasure slid one hand from his back to his arousal, stroking it in quick, jerking motions that matched the older man's thrusts.

 

"Good, Exorcist... move with me..." Tyki groaned, kissing Lavi as they both drew closer to climax. "Come with me... you feel so good, so hot..." The words were forced out in between kisses as they parted for air.

 

The redhead nodded wordlessly, already feeling himself at the edge. His short nails scratched down the gray skin of the Noah's back, pleasure overtaking sense as well.

 

"You... too?" he asked, Tyki's mouth devouring his in reply.

 

Lavi's back arched, body stiffening as the Pleasure hit his prostate hard and sent him over the edge. He could feel his mouth working, but no sound came out as he drowned in ecstasy for what felt like minutes as a voice cried his name and a rush of hot liquid drenched his insides.

 

The pair collapsed bonelessly on the bed, still joined intimately and wrapped around each other. Lavi just breathed, hearing the older man do the same, trying to calm down his body. Though shorter, it had been just as amazing as the first night, and this was just the beginning. Tyki had said before they started that one round wouldn't be enough.

 

The Exorcist winced as the Noah pulled out, something warm running out from inside his body. Tyki caught the small flinch and leaned forward to kiss at the corner of Lavi's eye.

 

"Does it hurt, lovely?" he asked. Lavi forced a smile, pain existent but tolerable.

 

"Not bad." he replied, moving to kiss Tyki. The Noah accepted the kiss, much more gentle though still with an edge of hunger that got Lavi's blood firing up again. The Pleasure's tongue traced the younger man's lips once before pulling away.

 

"Ready for a second round? I'll be gentle this time. We'll take it slow..." As if to emphasize his point, the older man kissed a wet trail down Lavi's neck, finding the place where the redhead's neck curved to create his shoulder and sucking on the skin there, over the faded mark he had left their first night.

 

Lavi nodded and Tyki's head dropped further to the cooling white puddle on the Exorcist's stomach and chest. A long tongue slowly licked at the mess, Tyki's eyes locked on the younger man's face to see his reaction. The redhead could only stare, flushing a deep red as the Noah began to clean his chest with his tongue. The Pleasure's hands weren't idle, a thumb rubbing over one of the Exorcist's nipples while the other hand slid along his thigh.

 

The Pleasure's hand left his now hardened nipple, two fingers sliding through the cooling semen on Lavi's stomach as the Noah lifted his mouth to kiss Lavi. The redhead could taste himself on Tyki's tongue, reminding him of how the Noah's mouth had felt on him the first night and how the Pleasure had swallowed all of his release, coming up to kiss him afterwards.

 

"Have you ever wondered what a man's release tastes like, Lavi?" Tyki asked him as they broke the kiss. Lavi's brow furrowed, confused. "You've taken all of mine inside you and I'm afraid you won't get to taste me down there this time, but I want you to be prepared. It takes some getting used to."

 

The Noah brought his hand up, the two fingers that had collected Lavi's cum in front of the redhead's face. The older man smirked at the Exorcist's surprised expression.

 

"Those fantasies I mentioned earlier? One of them is you taking me into your mouth and swallowing all of me. Eventually I will see your head between my thighs as I come, though I won't see it tonight."

 

The Exorcist could feel his body reacting to the other's words, manhood hardening as he imagined what that would be like. He had already had Tyki in his mouth once, but the Noah hadn't come inside his mouth that time. He wanted that part of Tyki too, since he could remember how amazing the Noah's mouth had felt on his arousal - he wanted to give that to the Pleasure too, though he didn't know why he wanted that almost as badly as he wanted the other man inside of him again.

 

Hesitantly he opened his lips, letting the coated fingers slide into his mouth. The slightly salty, bitter flavor he recognized from the older man's mouth was stronger. He licked the fingers inside his mouth, running his tongue along the smooth skin and sucking. Saliva collected in his mouth, some coming out from between his lips from the gap where the fingers joined. He closed his eyes, pretending he was in Tyki's fantasy, sucking on a different part of the man's anatomy. He moaned at the thought, tongue becoming more eager as the imagining grew stronger.

 

Tyki's quiet groan was the only warnings he got before the now very clean and very wet fingers were tugged from his mouth and the Noah claimed his lips in a passionate kiss. Lavi's body arched up into the older man's, feeling another awakening hardness press against his own.

 

"Did you like having my fingers in your mouth, lovely?" Tyki asked when they broke apart. Lavi's breathless nod was his answer. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I have a better plan for tonight. There's something else I want to see more than your mouth on me. Next time, I promise."

 

The redhead's heart leapt at the words, careful not to let it show on his face. He only nodded as the Noah moved back to his chest, tongue tracing a nipple before moving down to clean the rest of the mess from Lavi's body. The Exorcist moaned, arching into the feeling as the hot mouth teasing his skin moved even lower. Teeth nibbled lightly on his navel, tongue dipping in to the depression as though mimicking what Tyki's body had been doing to the redhead's earlier.

 

"Stop teasing..." Lavi said, hands fisting in the sheets as the Noah's mouth moved back up to suck the other nipple, hands roaming to gently caress Lavi's entire chest. The cooling saliva covering his skin caused shivers to run through the Exorcist's body, but he didn't feel cold, not with Tyki's warmth over him, under him, inside of him. He could already tell he'd be sore in the morning, but at the moment future soreness mattered a lot less than immediate desire.

 

One of the Pleasure's hands pried one of his up from the blanket, moving it just enough so that the Noah could kiss the wrist.

 

"I promised to explore your body thoroughly, Exorcist, or do you not recall?" Tyki's other hand traced over muscles that jumped under his fingertips, heading down lower to rest just before the patch of red hair between Lavi's thighs. The Exorcist bucked his hips in response, desperate for contact. "I like to think I keep my promises."

 

With that, the temptingly close hand began moving back up the redhead's body, drawing a low moan of protest from the redhead.

 

"You've... explored thoroughly... enough..." he complained, reaching up to brushing his hand against one of the Pleasure's nipples. The unexpected action drew a shallow gasp from the older man, whose hands stilled as he stared down at the Exorcist.

 

"I haven't... touched you very much, but right now, all I want - I need you inside me. Please, Tyki." Lavi begged, hips rolling upward to rub his arousal against the other's.

 

"Are you sure you're ready, lovely? I was rather rough. You'll be sore." Lavi could see the hunger in the other man's eyes, could tell how much Tyki wanted it even as he tried to be the voice of caution.

 

"I want it." Lavi repeated. Tyki looked closely at him for a moment more, but then smirked. The Noah turned, reaching over the side of the bed for the lotion he had tossed there earlier. The redhead propped himself up on his elbows, surprised when Tyki motioned him to sit up. He did, wincing a bit as his abused bottom complained. He ignored the pain, leaning forward and taking the kiss Tyki offered in consolation.

 

"Do you know what it means to ride someone, lovely?" the Pleasure asked against Lavi's lips. Chuckling at Lavi's negative, he elaborated. "It means that I want you sitting on top of my cock, working it inside your body and sliding it in and out at your own pace. You'll control the speed, how hard it goes in, how deep. I want to see you like that."

 

The redhead thought his body had reached a dangerous level of heat, the words setting off a fire inside of him like the heart of a miniature sun.

 

"Can you do that for me, Exorcist?"

 

Tyki nipped at his ear again, then kissed him and slowly leaned back so that Lavi was on top of him. Barely realizing what he was doing, too caught up in the kiss, the redhead moved to straddle the older man, grinding down against firm muscle as something hard slid against his entrance but didn't go inside. He moaned as the Noah's arousal rubbed against the sensitive nerve endings of his entrance, breaking the kiss. Tyki handed him the bottle of lotion.

 

"You'll want to put more on me before taking it inside."

 

Lavi nodded, taking the bottle without a second thought and opening it to squirt some on his hands. It was only as he capped the bottle and tossed it aside that he realized that Tyki was staring quite intently at his body, which was on full display from the position. Lavi's legs were bent at the knee, knees to either side of the Noah's hips and back straight, meaning nothing blocked the Pleasure's view of his body from head to groin. His hands fumbled, some of the lotion dripping from his palms to land against the hot flesh of his manhood. He gasped as the still cool gel slid against his heated skin, almost forgetting what the lotion was supposed to be used for until Tyki ground his erection into his ass.

 

"You're beautiful like this, lovely." Tyki murmured as the redhead turned to coat the man's arousal with lotion. "I can see all of you, no shadows hiding any part of you from me..."

 

Lavi could feel himself flushing again, as much from the compliment as from the hands rubbing his thighs. Tyki's legs were bent behind him, giving him support as the Pleasure directed him.

 

"Use my knees to balance yourself. That's good, Exorcist..." The redhead lifted himself up, putting his hands on the Pleasure's knees as directed and shifting until he could feel the tip of the other's manhood lined up with his entrance. He was still stretched from the first time the man entered him, so he lowered himself down. His head was thrown back in a moan, mouth open to allow air in and out of his lungs as he lowered himself to take the other fully inside.

 

"Excellent... you look so good like this, lovely, taking me inside." The hands on Lavi's thighs were soothing, the Pleasure's voice choked with lust. The Exorcist knew his legs were trembling, knew his body was too much like jelly at the moment to move. It felt so good, to have a man that should have been his enemy buried deep inside him, murmuring encouragement. Slowly, not sure he could trust his weight to his unsteady legs, he lifted himself up again and let gravity help him slid back down. The descent was faster and harder than he had thought, the Pleasure's hips bucking into his unexpectedly but the motion wasn't unwelcome. It had felt good, but not as good as it could feel.

 

The redhead adjusted his angle and lifted himself up again, slamming back down just as hard as Tyki's hips came up to meet his. That time was closer, but not quite... again, he adjusted his angle and lifted himself, seeing stars as he slammed back down and hit his prostate. His body felt more like jelly than ever, like he was putty in the Noah's capable hands, but he managed to lift himself again and slam back down. A cry tore from his throat, eyes shut as his body focused on sensation. Even though he couldn't see, he could sense Tyki's eyes following his movements, watching as he slid up and slammed back down, motions becoming faster and faster as he got the rhythm down. His motions stopped being awkward ups and downs and transformed into smooth thrusts, moans and pants issuing from the redhead's throat in a torrent.

 

"God, Tyki... feels so good... oh, God..." He moved his hands to the older man's chest, using that for support instead of his knees so he could thrust back even harder. Tyki's hands were still on his thighs, though now it was more of a grip than a caress. The redhead was fairly certain he'd have bruises tomorrow, but they'd be healed soon enough.

 

"Lavi..." The Pleasure's voice was thick with want, but Lavi hardly even registered it as he kept moving. "Touch yourself..."

 

The Exorcist heard that. His movements slowed slightly, eyes opening to stare inquiringly at the Noah. The Pleasure smirked.

 

"I want to see you touch yourself as you ride me. I'll help you balance." Tyki's hands slid further up his hips, bringing Lavi down with even more force and making the redhead cry out. Breath coming in pants, Lavi slid a hand down to his arousal and wrapped it around his heated flesh. The motions had become natural to him after almost two weeks of too many memories and not enough cold water to wash them away, though he couldn't remember ever resorting to touching himself more than three or four times before he had met Tyki.

 

His eyes still half-open, he could see the Noah watch his hand as it pumped his manhood in time with his thrusts. Under his hand, he could feel the Pleasure's heart beat quickly, thundering against his ribcage. Tyki's breathing was coming more erratically and his movements were becoming less smooth, as were Lavi's.

 

They were both close. As one, they sped up in what was almost a race to finish. Lavi came with a loud shout of the other's name, Tyki moments behind him, coming as the redhead's internal walls clamped around him and drew his own release. Lavi's name was on his lips as he came, fully satisfied for the first time two weeks.

 

The Exorcist collapsed on top of him, breathing heavily and obviously exhausted. Tyki gently moved him aside, slipping out from inside the boy as Lavi tried to catch his breath. Tyki's breathing was a bit harsher as well, but quickly returning to normal.

 

Too tired just yet to go grab proper washcloths, Tyki grabbed one edge of the sheet and wiped off both himself and the Exorcist. Lavi was too exhausted to do much more than roll over at the Pleasure's gentle shove, shivering until Tyki covered them both with the blankets.

 

"You leaving again?" the redhead asked sleepily, relaxing against the Noah's chest as Tyki settled in behind him.

 

"Not right away." the older man replied evenly.

 

"Good... " The Exorcist drifted off to sleep, leaving only that word and a confused Noah behind.

 

Tyki frowned, wondering what the younger man had meant. Perhaps he had wanted Tyki by his side when he woke up after their first night and the Pleasure had been gone? It was logical, given that the Exorcist had asked if Tyki would stay, but not likely. This wasn't about romance or love, or anything that required both partners to remain in the bed once both had been sufficiently pleasured. This was simply about lust, as far as Tyki was concerned, and pleasure.

 

It hardly mattered that Lavi had in fact been the one who featured most prominently in his fantasies as of late, no matter what he had told the redhead. The Noah hadn't been able to find anyone who satisfied him since that night with Lavi, not the green eyed noblewoman he had bedded shortly after, nor the boy about Lavi's age he had found a few days later in a smoky tavern in his 'white' persona. The barmaid shortly after that had done nothing for him either, leaving him with lots of frustration to get rid of when he had stumbled across Lavi earlier that night.

 

He would have to get the Exorcist out of his system before he could move on. If that required a few more nights than he had originally thought, then so be it.

 

He ran his lips just behind the curve of Lavi's neck, sliding his mouth along to the shoulder blade and leaving a soft kiss there. Lavi made a soft, pleased noise in his sleep, moving back to press his body closer to Tyki's.

 

The Pleasure decided to wait a few more minutes before getting up. He was oddly comfortable lying like this, though usually he couldn't wait for his partners to fall asleep so he could sneak out. The women tended to wear too much perfume and it irritated his nose when his brain wasn't occupied with... other things. They were always too clingy, even in their sleep, so he tended to count the seconds until they were finally out of it enough for him to sneak away.

 

The men were a bit different, though normally much sweatier than the women and slept sprawled out on top of Tyki so it was a task to sneak free. Lavi just seemed to fit in his arms, not smelly like the women or sweaty like the men, and his snores were light and soft, almost inaudible.

 

With a sigh of almost-regret, Tyki released the redhead and got up, making sure the blankets fully covered the naked Exorcist before moving to get his things. He dressed quickly, tucking the deck of cards he had become quite fond of in less than a month into his pants pocket. He turned his attention to his suit jacket, a green glow coming from the pocket. He reached in, drawing out the Innocence.

 

It lay in his palm, glowing brightly. He glanced back at Lavi, then at the Innocence in his hand. He could crush it now, let the dust particles scatter and complete his job. Lavi had fallen asleep - the redhead could hardly expect Tyki to hold onto the Innocence fragment until they could play again, just in case Lavi won. The Exorcist had been more than willing, even after having lost the green glowing piece of God matter to the Noah.

 

With a sigh, Tyki walked the few steps to the nightstand and placed the Innocence down on top of it. He turned to the sleeping Exorcist. Memories of their first night played back in his head, as well as the discovery of the King of Diamonds in Lavi's hand after the redhead had admitted to losing. Memories of their second night repeated, making him long to wake the redhead up and have a go at round three. He restrained himself, resisting the urge to reach out and touch the younger man.

 

"This makes us even. From now on, I destroy all the Innocence I find regardless of whether or not you're there."

 

He had won the Innocence fair and square (well, he had cheated, but that was beside the point as he never played fair), but he had lost their previous game fair and square. The Earl wouldn't find out that he had given up one piece of Innocence to the enemy, so long as he didn't make it a habit.

 

He collected the rest of his belongings and left, shutting off the lights as he went.

 

Tyki left no note this time, but made a silent promise to himself to find the redhead again. Soon.
