This fic started as an idea being bounced back and forth between DeeRyoFan and myself on IM. Most of Ryo's parts in this fic are because of her. Thanks to her for helping me write this fic.

Great big thanks to Gracie Musica for doing the beta for this. Thanks, Gracie! *hugs*

A/N: Oh my God - sorry, sorry, sorry! I totally forgot that I did not finish updating the rest of this fic, a very talented author, irishKaoru, posted a fic with the same title on FFN. I saw the title and had one of those, “Holy crap! I still have stuff to update!”. So thank her for the conclusion of this fic to finally appear.

As for the rest of my unfinished fics, I wish I had more sitting on my hard drive to update with, but I don't. That doesn't mean I've given up on “Trial By Fire” and “Learning Aids”, and there's actually more that was planned for “Games People Play”. However, too many other projects to do and not enough time prevents me from going back to finishing them. Hopefully at the beginning of 2008 and I'll get back to those fics and maybe even some new ones. Thanks to those who reviewed, made a favorite, etc… in the time since I last posted.

Ryo placed the half full coffee mug on the end table and started to get out of the bed. Dee had brought in the coffee a short while ago. Now Dee was busy making the breakfast he had promised Ryo the night before. It was time for Ryo to start moving himself, and get his surprise for Dee ready before his partner returned with their breakfast.

Ryo had awakened first that morning, but was content to lay there quietly and watch Dee sleep. Dee seemed relaxed and at peace as he slept - there was even a little smile on his face as the sleeping man snuggled closer to Ryo. He was certain the rough time they had been going through was past. After a while of watching, he decided to start waking Dee up with kisses. Dee did not complain too much about the disruption of his sleep, and they spent some time cuddling and kissing before Dee got up to make coffee and take a shower. When he got out of the shower, he brought Ryo his coffee, wearing only a pair of tight boxers. Ryo noticed he grabbed his robe as he left the bedroom to go back into the kitchen to start making their breakfast.

Ryo went into the bathroom to take a quick shower, then went through the rest of his morning routine of shaving and brushing his teeth. He finished the routine by splashing some of the cologne that had been proven to drive Dee crazy. He wanted everything to be perfect that morning. It was the day he had been waiting at least a few weeks for, not knowing exactly when that day would finally come.

This is the day, Ryo resolved, smiling, as he strode from the bathroom in only a towel to carefully choose his clothes. He opted for casual and sexy, knowing he did not intend on staying in his clothes too much longer after breakfast. As the aroma of cherry, blueberry and peach fruit compote drifted to the bedroom, Ryo considered maybe not even that long. He smiled as he rummaged through his dresser and took out the box that contained Dee's present and placed it on top of the dresser. He selected a comfy pair of jeans and another of Dee's shirts and quickly dressed.

Dee was in the kitchen, placing the waffles on a plate that covered so they would stay warm. He set the bowls with the fruit and whipped cream on a tray, along with the waffles and poured coffee into a thermal carafe, placing it, along with coffee mugs on the tray.

He looked around the kitchen, making sure he did not forget anything, then picked up the tray, going for the bedroom.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

In the bedroom, Ryo chose a position near the door and kneeled down, holding the box. While waiting for Dee to enter, he played with the box nervously. He opened it and checked to make sure the item inside was clean and shiny. He took a few deep breaths to calm his nerves. Still waiting, he switched from one knee, back to the other.

He heard Dee come up to the bedroom door and started to push it open.

Quickly Ryo did a last minute rearranging of his hair and shirt.

As the door opened, Dee called out, “Are you out of bed yet, lazyhead?” He entered the bedroom, looking straight ahead toward the bed.

Ryo kneeled several feet from Dee, looking up at the confused look on his partner's face. He smiled up at Dee, and held out the open box so Dee could inside. Loudly, Ryo cleared his throat to get Dee's attention.

Dee glanced down in the direction of the sound and noticed Ryo on the floor before him, holding out a small box. He gasped at the implication, the tray in his hand bouncing a little. “R-ryo?” he asked uncertainly. He gazed down into the box Ryo held out, his eyes resting on the ring within. The tray trembled more.

Ryo's smile got wider seeing Dee's reaction. He was no longer nervous. Seeing the look on Dee's face emboldened Ryo. “Dee Lane Laytner,” Ryo started, watching Dee's vibrant green eyes go wide, “please marry me.”

Dee's mouth dropped open as the tray trembled and tilted sideways. “Holy…” Dee uttered. The coffee carafe slipped from the tray and went crashing to the floor.

Ryo's grin grew, ignoring the coffee leaking out onto the floor. His eyes were only on Dee. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out plane tickets.

Dee managed to get a firm grip on the tray as he dropped to his weakened knees in front of Ryo. Somehow he managed to set the tray down on the side without losing everything else. “Oh my God, Ryo…” He gasped again, his eyes going from the ring to Ryo's face, back to the ring again.

“Please?” Ryo asked, lifting the hand holding the ring higher so it was closer to Dee. He smiled hopefully at Dee.

Dee's eyes went from the ring to Ryo's face, nodding. They went back to the ring, then back to Ryo and gazed into his eyes. “Yes,” he whispered, past the knot in his throat.

Ryo's smile was brilliant as Dee replied. He took the ring out of the box, face glowing with pure happiness. He took Dee's left hand and slipped the ring onto the ring finger, smiling up at Dee.

Wide eyed, Dee stared at the ring. “Omigod!” he exclaimed, finally able to speak louder than a whisper. “Yes!” He threw his arms around Ryo and kissed him deeply. “Yes!” he repeated again when he pulled his head away. His eyes went to the plane tickets.

Ryo laughed at Dee's curious expression. “Yes, baby. I'm serious. I even bought plane tickets.”

“P-plane tickets?” Dee asked. “To… honeymoon?”

Ryo laughed again, leaning in to kiss Dee's nose. “Silly. We can't get married here. Not really, but there we can.” Dee looked at Ryo, still not quite comprehending. “In Canada, we will be acknowledged as married whenever we go there.”

Dee looked over Ryo's shoulder at his left hand, grinning as Ryo spoke. He pulled his head back in shock when Ryo stopped talking. “You mean… really? Really married. Not just commitment?”

“No commitment ceremony for us, Dee. Really married. With signed papers and legal acknowledgement and all,” Ryo explained, smiling at the look on Dee's face.

Dee continued to gaze at Ryo in shock. “I-is this the present?” he asked, then gave Ryo a smile to match the one his part-Japanese partner was giving him.

Ryo nodded, his smile brighter, if possible. “Do you like it?”

Dee nodded vigorously. “Baby, you're the present. It's the best one I ever got.”

Ryo laughed, watching as Dee once more stared at his hand in amazement. His eyes went to the coffee puddle near them on the floor. “Um, I guess I shocked you a bit there, huh?” He chuckled. “I'm sorry baby. I'm glad you were able to save breakfast.”

Dee looked where Ryo's eyes were fixed. “Oh shit!” he exclaimed. He scrambled from his spot to grab a paper napkin and start wiping up the coffee. “I… yeah, you shocked me all right.”

Ryo grabbed Dee, pulling him close to him. “Forget about it,” Ryo said, amused. “Come here.” Dee allowed himself to be pulled, even if he looked a bit confused as his eyes went from the coffee he did not get to yet, then to Ryo. “Can I kiss you now?” he asked, moving his head so his lips were close to Dee's.

“Of course you can,” Dee replied. “Please….”

To Dee's surprise, Ryo grabbed Dee around his waist, dipped him while laughing and kissed him.

Dee let out a surprised yelp before he started to giggle. Deciding he was enjoying himself, he latched his hands behind Ryo's neck and returned the kiss. He glanced at the fingers curled lovingly along Ryo's neck and noticed the shining ring. “Oh my…” he gasped as Ryo broke the kiss, grinning down at Dee. “When did you get this?” he asked.

“Some weeks ago,” Ryo replied, pulling Dee up to lean against him. He settled into a more comfortable position on the floor, smiling as Dee did the same, but continued to lean against Ryo. He could not help leaning over to kiss Dee again as he saw the sappy grin on the dark haired man's face. “Biks and Carol helped pick it out.” At Dee's surprised expression, he continued, “I wanted to give it to you earlier, but then we sorta, well, we… well we started to have so many fights, and I was afraid you'd say no.” He smiled tenderly at Dee. “But now was just the perfect time, I guess.”

“It's… damn, the timing is just perfect,” Dee agreed, grinning. He hugged Ryo and kissed him briefly, but passionately. “'Cause you're going to make my dream come true,” he whispered, pulling slightly away, sparkling green eyes looking into Ryo's dark ones.

“Your dream?” Ryo asked.

“I thought about it several times, but stopped myself from asking you.”

Ryo hugged Dee, bestowing several kisses on Dee. “Why?” he asked. “Baby, if I had known….”

Dee shrugged. “I was afraid you'd think it was silly or… that… once presented with this, you might not feel the same as I did about it.”

“Dee!” Ryo exclaimed, shocked. “Of course! I do feel the same. Had for quite a while now.”

Dee kissed Ryo, and then moved his mouth to nuzzle Ryo's jaw. “I was afraid because, well because of that crap from last night. I felt it was all too good to be true and all that.”

Ryo sighed heavily, stroking Dee's back as he kissed Dee's cheek. “I promise I'll do everything within my power to make you forget about that!” he vowed. “I told you I want to stay with you forever, and I really mean it. I hope you believe me now?” He smiled hopefully at Dee. “Because I really, really, really want this. More than anything.”

Dee lightly kissed Ryo, smiling. “Not that you didn't help me much, because you did.” He moved his hands to get a good hold on Ryo and kissed him passionately until they both gasped for air when Dee broke the kiss. “I gotta warn you,” he said, after taking a few deep breaths, “I hope you do feel that way, because now there ain't no way you'll get rid of me.”

Ryo laughed, pulling Dee to him. “Good!” he exclaimed happily, starting to leave a trail of kisses on Dee's face. His lips finally zeroed in on Dee's lips, already opening and waiting to be kissed. “And now,” he said as he pulled his head away, “you can clean up the mess you made.” He laughed, then laughed harder at Dee's wide eyed look.

“I dropped it because of…!” he started to protest, but ran out of steam as his eyes rested on the tray that still had their breakfast waiting. “At least we still have something to eat. Even if some of it ended up with the coffee.” He laughed.

Ryo chuckled. “Okay, I'll help you clean then.”

Dee picked up the napkins he had used before Ryo stopped him. “Ugh, coffee stains.”

Ryo moved to stand up, wincing. “Did it seep into the wood?” he asked.

Dee had reached out to steady Ryo as he stood, while he remained half kneeling on the floor, accessing the damage. “It's in the grooves,” he stated.

Ryo stretched, letting out a little groan. “Damn, you kept me waiting too long.” He grinned at Dee.

Dee looked up at Ryo. “I'm sorry. I wanted to make something special, then I couldn't decide on what.”

Ryo laughed, stretching again. “It's okay.” He leaned down to kiss Dee.

Dee stood up, taking the coffee carafe with him and setting it on the tray again. He picked up the tray and placed it on a dresser. Moving past Ryo, he paused to kiss his partner again. “Be right back,” he assured Ryo. He went into the bathroom to get a towel.

Ryo nodded. “I'm going to get the mop,” he said, then walked out of the bedroom.

Dee was still wiping the floor when Ryo entered with the mop in hand. He looked at Dee and cried out, “Dee! Not the tow—.” He sighed, shaking his head. “Too late.”

Dee looked up from his task, grinning. He held up the towel he was using. “Relax. Cleaning towels. We do keep a few in the bathroom, just in case.”

“Oh!” Ryo stated. “Thank God.” He chuckled ruefully. “We do.”

Dee laughed at Ryo. Ryo laughed more at himself. He dropped on his knees next to Dee and hugged him, still laughing.

“You did teach me a few things since moving in, you know,” Dee said, sounding amused.

Holding onto Dee, Ryo nodded into Dee's shoulder, before kissing it. Dee laughed, still holding up the towel. Ryo moved his head to look at the damage made by the spilled coffee on the wooden floor. “Oh damn. Can you fix that?”

Dee went back to studying the stain. “I might, but….” He grinned, looking at Ryo. “I don't want to.”

Ryo laughed. “You're crazy! We're gonna get splinters in our feet, you know. Thank God it's your side of the bed.” He grinned up at Dee.

Dee shook his head. “Aw, it's just stained. Not stripped.”

“Oh good.” Ryo could not resist kissing Dee again.

“I think I like the idea of every time I look at it, I'll remember exactly how you proposed to me,” Dee explained.

“Really now?” Ryo asked, kissing Dee once more. The kiss deepened as he toppled them both over, landing on Dee. He continued to kiss Dee in their new position.

Dee wrapped his arms around Ryo, still holding onto the towel. “Umm,” he murmured between kissing, maybe one of us needs to use the mop?” He let out a chuckle.

Ryo reached behind him, tugging the towel out of Dee's hands and threw it in a random direction. “Hmm?” Ryo asked, starting to nibble on Dee's ear.

“Hey!” Dee jokingly protested, enjoying himself. “I know you're gonna make me pick it up later.” He laughed and moved his head so he could kiss Ryo.

“Yeah, I am. Along with all the stuff I dropped on the floor last night. He grinned down at Dee.

“Mmm. Playful this morning too,” Dee observed.

Ryo nodded happily as he straddled Dee's lap. Slowly, he pushed the robe Dee was wearing open. He licked his lips as he gazed down at his lover. “Mmm. Breakfast for a king indeed.”

Dee broke out in laughter.

Ryo leaned down to slowly drag his tongue along over Dee's chest.

“If that's all it took,” Dee said amused, “I wouldn't have bothered making the other stuff.” He squirmed a bit from what Ryo's tongue was doing to his chest. “God yeah, eat me,” he sighed.

Ryo looked up at the dresser with the tray on it. Despite Dee's attempt at pulling his head down, he leaned over to the dresser and grabbed a bowl of warmed cherry compote. His attention back on Dee, he tipped the bowl over slightly so the fruit would slowly drop onto Dee's chest.

Dee giggled and squirmed a little from the feel of the fruit on his bare chest. He watched as Ryo leaned over again and started to click his chest clean. Dee moaned a little. Once Dee's chest was cleaned, Ryo drizzled some more of the warmed fruit on Dee's chest. He took a little longer in licking and nibbling on Dee's chest to clean it of the fruit. Dee started to moan more, especially when Ryo's tongue lapped up the fruit that was dropped onto his nipples.

Grinning playfully, Ryo sat up again, still straddling Dee's lap and leaned over again so he could carefully bring the tray to set on the floor within his reach. He picked up a waffle, and dipped it into the peaches.

Dee raised an eyebrow of intrigue at the way Ryo seemed to have settled on eating his breakfast.

Ryo smiled, as he offered the fruit covered waffle to Dee. Dee stared at it in thought for a moment, before taking a nibble. As Dee chewed, Ryo brought the waffle to Dee's mouth again, using it as a brush and smearing some of the fruit on Dee's lips. He leaned down and started to kiss Dee, licking the fruit off. “Mmm,” he sighed into the kiss. “Yummy.”

Dee laughed, because before deciding on taking a small bite, he had been debating the same thing. He let out a gasp as the waffle dipped in the blueberry compote was brushed on his neck. When Ryo was satisfied with his work on Dee's neck, with a wicked grin, he moved the waffle and held it over Dee's stomach to allow some of the fruit to drop into his navel.

Dee let out a blissful sigh as he rolled his head so the fruit covered side was up and offered to Ryo. “I hope I'm as delicious as I'm feeling,” he said, then sighed again.

Ryo dipped a finger into the fruit and offered it to Dee, smiling. Slowly, Dee licked the finger, drawing the tip into his mouth. Ryo leaned over, his fingertip still in Dee's mouth as he started to lick Dee's neck clean. Dee closed his eyes, his tongue lapping the finger. He moaned around the appendage as once his neck was cleaned, Ryo nipped it a couple of times, before moving down along Dee's chest to clean the fruit filled navel. Dee squirmed again, giggling a little as he continued to lick the finger. Once it was clean, he started to gently suck on it, moaning.

“You taste,” Ryo started, and paused to moan from what Dee was doing to his finger, “goooood,” he stretched out.

Dee released the finger. “Then have some more,” he offered. “Please.”

“Oh yeah, no doubt about it,” Ryo groaned in agreement. He scooted back some so he was kneeling around the vicinity of Dee's thighs with his lover between his legs. With a wicked grin, he rubbed his hand over the bulge in Dee's boxers. “Now what do we have here?” he asked, definitely in a playfully naughty mood that morning.

Dee moaned for a reply, lifting his hips slightly.

Ryo fingered the stiff column beneath the cotton material experimentally. He appeared to be figuring out what it was beneath his fingers by feel. He frowned a little, as if thinking hard. “Well, it could be a banana,” he said. Before Dee could reply, he added, “But it's too big and hard for that. Mmmm….”

Dee lay prone on the floor, moaning and writhing from what Ryo was doing to him.

Ryo appeared to absentmindedly take the bowl of whipped cream and dipped his finger in. He stuck it into his mouth, his other hand still fingering Dee's cock.

Dee's eyes were fixed on Ryo, watching him.

“Maybe I should take a look?” Ryo said to Dee, before dipping his finger in the cream again and stuck it into his mouth.

Dee let out a groan. “Maybe you should.”

Looking inquisitive, Ryo pulled his finger out and using that hand pulled the elastic band of the boxers down a bit.

Dee leaned up, resting on his elbows, his eyes going to what Ryo was doing.

“Oh, now that looks… weird,” Ryo proclaimed as he peeked into the boxers, pulling the head of Dee's cock out. He licked the tip. “Tastes good though.”

Dee moaned before he was able to speak. “Weird?” Dee asked, trying to keep from giggling at Ryo's silliness.

Ryo smiled down at Dee. “For a fruit, yes, weird.” He seemed satisfied with his answer.

Dee could not help laughing.

Ryo grinned, pulling the boxers down more.

“Maybe a vegetable?” Dee suggested, joining Ryo in the silly game.

Ryo's eyes opened as he got a better view. “My, this is a big fruit,” he stated, pulling it out. “Or veggie.” He giggled a little. “Mmm… still looks good to eat.” He licked up and down the length, making Dee moan.

Ryo picked up the bowl with the blueberries and another waffle and using the waffle again as a brush, started to smear the fruit on Dee's erection until it was covered with cooked blueberries. He sat back, straddling Dee's thighs and admired his work, nibbling on the waffle.

Dee moaned, then looked down at his fruit covered cock. His eyes went up to study Ryo, who was obviously enjoying eating his waffle while his eyes were fixed on what appeared to be the next part of Ryo's breakfast.

“You're silly,” Dee stated. “Sexy silly.”

Ryo took another waffle and dipped it into the whipped cream and dropped some of it on the tip of Dee's fruit covered cock.

Dee sucked in his breath.

Ryo started to giggle. His eyes fell on the remaining cherry compote and he picked out a near whole cherry, which he placed on the whipped cream. “Now that looks like….” He studied his handiwork again, “like….” He started to laugh. “Like something real tasty!”

Dee laughed with Ryo. “And begging for you to eat it,” he said.

Ryo wasted no time leaning over and starting to lick along the length, lapping up the thick sweet blueberries. When he got to the head, he took it into his mouth and started to suck on it.

Dee fell back onto the floor, moaning loudly. “Ohhh… Ryo,” he sighed as Ryo started to take more of him until his head was bobbing up and down slowly. Dee started to moan, licking his lips. “S'good.”

Ryo dipped two fingers into the whipped cream and offered them to Dee. Dee took the fingers slowly into his mouth, sucking on them.

Ryo moaned around Dee's cock.

Using the tip of his tongue, Dee licked the fingers clean, drawing more of them into his mouth to gently suck on.

Ryo moaned again. He started to suck harder on Dee's cock, swiping his tongue over the slit repeatedly.

Dee forced himself to sit up, grabbing onto Ryo's wrist as he continued to suck on the fingers. He found himself moaning around the fingers. “Ahh baby,” he sighed.

Ryo pulled back briefly to quickly take off his shirt.

Dee gasped at the loss of contact.

Ryo took the bowl of whipped cream and another waffle, and smeared some of it over Dee's left nipple, licking it off immediately. He took the time to suck on the nipple, drawing more moans from Dee. His free hand started to stroke along the length of Dee's cock.

Dee was ready to fall back again, moaning. “En-joying…breakfast?” he asked and moaned again.

Ryo nodded as he happily sucked and nibbled on Dee's left nipple. His teeth clamped down on the hardened nub, causing Dee to cry out, then moan, arching his back slightly. He smiled, feeling in Dee's body the other man submitting to him. He licked the nub in farewell before he started to kiss his way across Dee's chest to the other nipple.

Dee placed his hands on Ryo's shoulders to keep himself from falling back as he sighed.

Ryo gave the right nipple the same whipped cream treatment, including the sucking and nipping. Slowly he started to stroke Dee's cock at the same time.

“Mmm…” was all Dee was able to utter between moaning and sighing. He was writhing from Ryo's exquisite play on his nipple. He removed one hand from Ryo's shoulder and started to reach toward Ryo's still jean imprisoned cock.

Ryo's crotch was definitely plumped into a nice basket, his imprisoned erection painfully throbbing in his jeans. He was glad he did not choose a very tight pair. “Mhmmm…. Yeah,” he groaned as Dee touched him through the fabric.

He pulled his head away from Dee's chest, giving the right nipple a final bite and lick, causing Dee to cry out again. He repositioned himself so he could deeply kiss Dee, taking advantage of the mouth still open from his cries.

Dee cupped Ryo's hard-on in his hand and started to rub it as they kissed.

Ryo groaned into the kiss, enjoying the friction, but needing to be released. Between the kisses, he said, “I love you.”

“Love you too.” Dee laughed.

“What's so funny?” Ryo asked.

Dee was grinning like a fool.

Ryo shook his head affectionately, and smiled. He kissed Dee's cheek. “You look happy.”

“I am happy,” Dee replied. He pulled Ryo close for another kiss. “Very happy.”

“Mhmm,” Ryo agreed. “Me too.” He kissed Dee again, wrapping his arms around his partner's neck. A little awed, he whispered, “Hey Dee?”

“Hmm?”

“You're gonna be my husband, you know?” he murmured, his lips almost touching Dee's.

Dee's answering smile was brilliant. Ryo could not help but smile himself, his matching Dee's.

“Yeah, I am,” Dee said. “And you're gonna be mine.”

Ryo nodded and kissed Dee again.

Dee placed an arm around Ryo as he deepened the kiss, until he had Ryo moaning. Dee looked past Ryo's head to the floor close to them. “Hmm… you have more breakfast to eat.”

“Oh yeah?” Ryo looked at the tray. He looked back at Dee when he heard his dark haired partner chuckle. “What?”

Dee took Ryo's hand and placed it on his crotch.

Ryo laughed.

“The weird fruit/veggie thing,” Dee remarked.

Ryo laughed more. “God, I love you,” he exclaimed.

“Love you too.”

Ryo kissed Dee again, before moving away a bit. Grinning wickedly, he went back to happily sucking on Dee's cock.

Dee started to moan again, placing his left hand on Ryo's head. His eyes looked down at the fingers tangled in Ryo's soft silky strands of brown hair. It was hard to miss the sparkle of the ring on his finger. “Oh my God, Ryo,” Dee gasped. “I love you so freakin' much.”

“Love you too,” came Ryo's mumbled response, his mouth still filled with Dee's cock.

“Yeah, but…” Dee started. He abruptly left his sentence hanging as Ryo massaged his prostate from the outside. He gasped, shuddering as a tendril of pleasure jolted from the center of where Ryo's attention was and up his spine. He arched his back again, crying out. “You drive me wild,” he gasped.

“Mhmmm,” was all Ryo attempted to say, still concentrating on Dee's cock.

“Hey baby?” Dee asked. “What about your weird veggie thingie?”

Ryo started to chuckle and had to pull away, because he started to choke on Dee's cock from the sudden laughter. He coughed a little, smiling at Dee, assuring his husband-to-be that he was all right.

“Sorry, baby,” Dee said, still sounded concerned.

Ryo waved him off. “Later… for my weird thingie, that is,” he said with a smirk.

Dee ran his fingers through Ryo's hair, smiling at him.

“Or are you hungry too?” Ryo asked.

Dee shook his head. “Nah. Not yet.” His eyes met Ryo's. “Unless you want….”

“No, it's fine,” Ryo replied. “I have other plans.” He gave Dee a devilish smile.

Dee's eyes fell on the hand running through Ryo's hair and started to bounce a little. “Don't let me stop your plans,” he remarked.

Ryo laughed at the sight before him, realizing Dee's reaction was caused from looking at the ring on his hand. “You know,” Ryo mused, a teasing glint in his eyes, “if you were smaller and had a different hair and skin color, and so on, I'd say you're JJ.”

“Hey now! Don't go and ruin the mood.” Dee tried to pout, but did not succeed. He found himself laughing instead, Ryo joining him. “I'm just….” He started to bounce with excitement again. “…happy. I'm so fuckin' happy!”

“I've noticed,” Ryo remarked deadpan, before he started to smile proudly as he watched Dee. “Now where were we?”

Dee laughed again. “Baby, my ecstasy level is on high just sitting here.”

“Well, in that case, let's take it into overdrive,” Ryo stated, his hands on Dee's chest. He pushed Dee onto his back and went back to sucking his excited partner off again.

Dee started to moan loudly, squirming a little.

Ryo used more whipped cream on Dee's cock.

Dee sighed. “Love the way you eat breakfast,” he murmured. “Remind me to make you breakfast more often.”

Ryo deep throated Dee for a reply, swallowing several times in succession, causing Dee to loudly moan again.

“Ahhh…. Ryo,” Dee gasped. “You're gonna make me….” He tangled the fingers of both hands in Ryo's hair, reduced to more moaning.

Ryo nudged against Dee's prostate from the outside several times, watching as Dee started to shudder and writhe as he arched his back, crying out from the sweet torture.

“Oh… God.” Dee was panting, his body starting to convulse a little. He had no chance of prolonging it.

Ryo swallowed again, as he rubbed the sensitive outer area of Dee's prostate.

Dee cried out louder as he started to cum.

Ryo moaned as Dee's seed spurted down his throat, feeling the cock throb wildly as Dee came. Eagerly, he swallowed Dee's cum.

Dee let out one final cry before he went lax on the floor, his hands dropping from Ryo's head. His chest rose and fell as he attempted to catch his breath from his powerful orgasm. “Ryo…” he sighed blissfully. He let out a few more sighs. “Damn…” He managed a lopsided smile as he looked down at Ryo, who was looking up at him while still sucking Dee's now limp cock. As Dee watched, Ryo slowly let the cock slide from his mouth, his dark smoldering eyes still on Dee.

“So sexy,” Dee sighed, transfixed at the sight before him.

Ryo returned to straddling Dee's thighs and reached for the last waffle, dipping it into the rest of the whipped cream. He started to eat it, grinning proudly at Dee.

Dee was still attempting to catch his breath. “Oh… wow,” he moaned. “Even that…,” he gulped for air, “feels different…good different.”

Scooping up the last of the cherries and more whipped cream, Ryo crawled over Dee's body until he lay down on top of him. “Different in what way?” he asked. He started to feed some of his waffle to Dee.

“My husband-to-be just gave me this absolutely fantastic blow job.”

Ryo chuckled, as he fed more of the waffle to Dee. “You and your way with words.”

Dee laughed. “I'm serious.” He took another offered bite of the fruit and whipped cream covered waffle, before hugging Ryo. “Love you so much.”

Ryo smiled at Dee. “I know,” he replied to Dee being serious. “And I know that too,” he added, grinning. He watched as Dee gazed at the ring again with a big silly grin on his face. Ryo popped the rest of the waffle in his mouth and gave Dee a quick kiss.

“Wow,” Dee said, still awed at the events so far that morning.

Ryo sat up to straddle Dee's lap again.

“I take it breakfast was good?” Dee asked, smiling.

“Yum!” Ryo remarked. “But I want more.” He grinned down at Dee, licking his lips.

Dee laughed. “Take all that you want,” he offered, looking amused.

Ryo reached over to grab a pillow. He placed it on the floor next to the bed. Dee had been keeping himself entertained by rubbing Ryo's chest. Ryo grinned down at Dee before he moved off his husband-to-be.

On his knees next to Dee, he patted the pillow. “Can you kneel over here?” he asked.

Dee looked curious as he sat up. At Ryo's encouraging smile, he started to move from his place.

“I'll be right back!” Ryo announced, standing up. He rushed off as fast as he could with a raging hard on still imprisoned in his jeans and left the room.

Dee looked baffled, but he did as his loved one bade and knelt on the pillow. It was not very long before Ryo entered the room again.

“Oh, I forgot to say,” Ryo remarked, entering the room, smiling at Dee waiting for him while kneeling on the pillow. “You should take your boxers off.” He smiled sweetly at Dee. “Oh, and you should face the bed, so you can lean down on it.” The grin he gave Dee turned into a leer promising many wicked delights. He had his hands behind his back, obviously hiding something.

With a big grin on his face, Dee wasted no time in getting out of his boxers, tossing them in the general direction where their clothes from the night before were still on the floor. “Oh yeah?” Dee asked Ryo, anxious to see what the other man was up to. One thing Ryo contributed regularly to their relationship was he was good with his imagination in coming up with different and exciting ways to make love. Stripped down to his skin, Dee assumed the requested position, wiggling a little in an enticing way.

He felt Ryo get on his knees behind him. Ryo's arms went around him to pull his back up against Ryo's front for a hug, then kissed his cheek.

Dee pressed further back against Ryo, never getting enough of the feeling of his body against Ryo's. If only Ryo would lose his jeans, he thought. He stopped thinking when he felt Ryo place his jeans clad erection against Dee's naked backside. Dee pushed his ass out, sighing.

“Yes,” he sighed, unaware that one of Ryo's arms was no longer holding him.

He heard some sounds and suddenly felt something very cold drip down his back. He shivered from the shock as he gasped in surprise. Before he could do anything else, he felt Ryo's hot tongue start to lick off whatever was running down his back. He moaned. He tried to sniff and get an idea of what Ryo had poured on him. It felt sticky, but Ryo was very good with his tongue. He moaned again, before trying to look over his shoulder.

Ryo did it again, pouring the cold gooey substance down his back, letting it run further down Dee's back before he started to lick it clean.

Dee started to squirm and giggle. “What's…?” he tried to ask, but found himself moaning again.

“Mmm, yummy,” Ryo exclaimed. He leaned his head over Dee's shoulder to kiss him. Dee tasted the vanilla sauce and grinned. Now he was Ryo's dessert. He had no complaints.

Upon breaking the kiss, Ryo dripped more down Dee's back and let it run until some of it ran just above the cleft of Dee's ass cheeks before he started to lick it off, starting at the top of the back, and making his way down.

Dee was wiggling and squirming more, finding the treatment to be some sweet torture. He was hard again. He giggled when Ryo did something fascinating with his tongue on the small of Dee's back, getting closer to the end of the sauce trail.

Ryo giggled too, enjoying the way Dee was squirming in his arms and against him. “Do you like that?” he asked in a husky tone.

Dee nodded, then realizing Ryo might not have seen it considering where his head was, he said, “Yeah. Tickles a little….”

Dee's back being completely licked clean, Ryo poured more vanilla sauce. This time he allowed it to run down into the cleft of Dee's ass. Making sounds of enjoyment, Ryo went back to licking Dee's back.

Dee started to squirm more, especially feeling the cold sauce run in his crack. He was alternating between sighing and moaning from what Ryo's tongue was doing.

Ryo went lower than the other times. He kissed the left cheek of Dee's firm ass, and parted the firm, smooth globes a little to lick the sauce.

Dee leaned forward a little, resting his hands on the bed to keep himself from dropping. He let out a few deep moans as Ryo licked him clean in the very sensitive area, panting between each moan. More sauce was poured over the small of his back, allowing more to dribble into his cleft.

Ryo put the bottle of sauce aside as Dee pushed his ass out more. He sighed as he felt Ryo start to lick the sauce off the small of his back, making his way back down.

Dee moaned loudly, bending forward more, trembling arms resting on the bed as Ryo's tongue swiped over his opening. The tip of Ryo's tongue nudged a little into the opening. One hand was massaging Dee's inner thigh as he licked.

Dee's arms from elbows down were resting on the bed as he leaned forward, moaning and writhing. “Yes, baby,” he murmured.

Ryo continued to lick and prod the opening, moaning a little.

Dee continued to moan loudly. “Yes… oh yes,” he groaned.

Ryo started to kiss his way around Dee's ass, then up along the spine until he was kissing Dee's neck. He positioned himself between Dee's legs, rubbing himself against Dee, jeans still on. Nibbling Dee's ear, he moaned.

Dee's head dropped as he moaned softly. “God, Ryo,” he sighed, as Ryo nibbled and suckled his neck. He rubbed his ass against Ryo's still jeans clad crotch, moaning repeatedly.

“Mhmm, you feel so good against me like that,” Ryo sighed.

“Mmm, I do,” Dee agreed as he rubbed again.

Ryo kissed and licked his way to the other side of Dee's head. He reached down for the lube pile on the floor next to their bed. “Want me to use the heat stuff again or would you prefer neutral?” he asked before kissing Dee's shoulder.

“Doesn't matter,” Dee replied. “Whichever you want.”

Considering everything else he had done up to that moment, Ryo decided the generic stuff would be good enough. He knew he did not have to take things too over the top. If the way Dee was bent over the bed under Ryo, and the whispered phrases between moans sounding close to his lover begging Ryo to take him, they did not need anything fancy. Things were already stepped up several notches.

He managed to open the tube, with help from the hand that was still around Dee and slicked his fingers. He placed the tube of lube next to the bottle of vanilla sauce, and moved to the side a little. He was kneeling over Dee's left leg.

Dee let out a little cry of protest when he felt Ryo's body move, then shivered from anticipation of what would be next.

With a smile, Ryo pressed his chest against Dee's back again, taking advantage of his new position by circling Dee's entrance with two fingers. He kissed the side of Dee's face. “Relax,” he softly said into Dee's ear, “you're all tensed up.” He slipped an arm around Dee's chest, pulling the dark haired man back and holding him against his chest. His hand stroked along Dee's chest.

Dee sighed and took a couple of deep breaths.

Ryo slid two fingers inside as Dee breathed out.

Leaning his head back, Dee groaned.

Ryo kissed Dee, sensing Dee loosen up. He wasted no time in prepping Dee. He knew where the tension before was from. He had teased the two of them long enough. Now it was time for Ryo to take them both to sweet completion.

With one arm around Dee and the 3 fingers of his other hand gently stretching Dee, Ryo realized he did not want to release either hold yet, but needed his pants opened. He nuzzled Dee's ear, biting down on the earlobe, making Dee cry out and tremble.

“Hey,” he whispered, the hot moist breath on the ear causing Dee to tremble again. “Can you reach my jeans? I don't wanna let go of you.”

“Yeah,” Dee gasped, then grinned.

Ryo's eyebrow arched in amazement when Dee managed to open the fly of his jeans blindly within a second. “Hmm, you certainly have some talents, Mister….” he remarked.

“Took years of practice,” Dee cut him off, and chuckled.

Ryo felt Dee was already ready. “Laytner,” he finished. “MacLean-Laytner, Laytner-MacLean…. Hmm?”

Dee moaned again. “The last two sound great.”

Finally relinquishing his fingers from inside Dee, Ryo lubed himself up quickly, not bothering to take off his jeans. He stroked Dee's side reassuringly as he entered Dee smoothly and quickly.

Dee let out a strangled little cry, then moaned, pressing back against Ryo.

“Sorry. Are you okay?” Ryo asked. He kissed the side of Dee's face again.

“I'm fine,” Dee sighed. “When I pull away, then worry.” He chuckled.

“Gotcha,” Ryo remarked. He worked up a steady middle-paced rhythm.

“It hurt just a little at first, but the good type of hurt. Ahh… yes!”

Ryo started to nibble and lick Dee's neck, keeping his pace and listening to Dee moaning softly with each thrust. The man in his arms and under him started to pant a little. “S'good… s'good,” Dee chanted.

Ryo discovered he was panting more than a little. It felt so good, almost too good. “Yeah, you feel so perfect around me,” he stated. “Like a mold.” He moaned into Dee's neck.

“Yeah. Mmm….” Dee pressed up against Ryo. “Harder,” he begged.

Ryo reached around Dee and took his partner's throbbing erection into his hands, stroking him. Dee dropped his head back and moaned again. Ryo slammed into Dee, but did not pick up his pace. He just pulled out more and thrust in deeper, as he moaned.

Dee cried out, pushing back as if trying to take more of Ryo in him. “Yes baby,” he gasped. “Yes…” He moaned once again. “You feel so good in me.”

Ryo leaned back a little and pulled Dee up a bit by the hips. His thrusts into Dee were now from a slightly lower angle.

Dee moaned louder at the change. He started to pant more.

“Oh fuck,” Ryo moaned, as he continued to thrust into Dee. He felt Dee press back again, whimpering, getting greedy for more of Ryo. Ryo decided to oblige him. It was always amazing whenever he took Dee. To watch his normally dominant partner so willingly become submissive to him was always a treat. Ryo knew what it meant, how it was one of Dee's ultimate gifts of love to him. A gift that Ryo cherished.

Ryo started to thrust faster.

Dee's eyes were closed as he murmured, “Yes… yes…” in time with Ryo's rhythm. “Shit yeah. Fuck me, baby.”

Ryo started to lick Dee's upper back. He grasped onto Dee's hips again and slammed into him, pressing Dee's groin hard against the mattress.

Dee cried out, before loudly moaning. “H-holy fuck!” he gasped. “Yes!”

Ryo thrust hard again, slamming Dee hard enough to make the bed scrape over the floor a little. He let out a groan and then moaned long.

Dee was moaning very loudly as he continued to be slammed into the bed, his erection rubbing up against the mattress. Five years ago if someone had told him he would be in this position and loving it, he'd have punched that person out. Still amazing to Dee was like the other times with Ryo, it was at his request.

Ryo started to gasp for air as he felt his climax approaching. It felt too good to him. Dee was so tight and warm. Whenever he was top, it was a feeling like he never felt before with the few women he had had in his past. Feeling Dee writhe under him and moan only enhanced the experience for Ryo. He watched as Dee grasped onto the sheets and clenched his fingers in them. His dark haired partner was panting harder, still moaning. Dee was getting close too. Ryo saw all the signs.

“Oh God, oh God,” Ryo chanted, feeling himself get closer, the climax mounting.

Dee pushed back to take as much as Ryo as possible and clenched the ring of muscles tight. “Cum in me, Ryo,” he groaned, arching his back.

“OH GOD!” Ryo cried out, as the first waves of climax hit him and he started to cum immediately.

Dee moaned again. “S'good,” he murmured. “S'good to feel you cum in me.”

Riding his orgasm, Ryo slammed into Dee one more time, causing Dee to cry out. Dee shuddered as he felt Ryo cum in him, still thrusting, with his weeping erection rubbing against the mattress. His fingers balled more of the sheets as he threw back his head and cried out again, starting to cum. The ring of muscles around Ryo tightened again from his orgasm, milking the last of Ryo's milky seed from him. His own seed spilled out onto the mattress and down his lower front.

Upon being released from his climax, Dee dropped his head onto the mattress and groaned. “Holy fuck,” he sighed.

Ryo moaned and collapsed onto Dee.

“That…” Dee gasped, “was…” he paused again to pant, “blissful….” A contented sigh left his lips as he closed his eyes for a moment.

Ryo was still on Dee, panting hard. He managed to nod in agreement, realizing he was unable to speak yet. Under him, Dee was gasping into the mattress, trying to catch his breath. Ryo started to stroke Dee's side.

Dee stretched carefully while still under Ryo. “I could get used to this very easily.”

Ryo pulled away from Dee a bit, groaning as he slipped out from Dee. He pulled himself up to crawl onto the bed next to Dee.

Dee turned to hold out a hand, helping Ryo to settle into place. Ryo took Dee's hand and moved again so he could spoon up behind Dee, holding the dark haired man tightly.

With a tender smile, Dee turned his head so he could kiss Ryo, while snuggling against the body behind his. As they kissed, Ryo hold on Dee tightened, as if he never wanted to let Dee go. Ryo deepened the kiss. The kiss was eventually broken only by need of air.

Dee sighed contently as he rested his head on the pillow. “I love you,” he said.

“Love you too, hot stuff,” Ryo replied, kissing Dee's cheek.

“Damn… you're great, baby,” Dee remarked on Ryo's earlier performance. “My hot sexmuffin.”

Ryo chuckled into Dee's neck. “Mhm.”

Giggling erupted from Dee. “You moved the bed….” He sounded in awe. He could not stop himself from laughing.

Ryo laughed with Dee. “Yeah, I did. Now I'm tired again.”

Dee let out another happy sigh as he melted further in Ryo's hold.

“Wonder what the people downstairs think now?” Ryo asked, amused.

Dee lifted his left hand. “That we're rearranging again?” he suggested. His eyes fell on the ring and he smiled brightly, still not believing Ryo had planned a getaway for them so they could be married.

Ryo chuckled at both Dee's reply and his actions. Dee could be so cute when totally awed by something. Ryo looked down at his lover and saw the expected wide, amazed eyes fixed on the ring. He laughed again, starting to nuzzle Dee's neck lovingly.

“So, when do we leave?” Dee asked, looking back at Ryo.

“Hmm?” Ryo was preoccupied with peppering Dee's neck and shoulder with small, warm and soft kisses. “On our anniversary?” he asked between kisses.

Dee smiled again. “Sounds wonderful… if I can wait that long.” He let out a sigh.

Ryo laughed at Dee's impatience. “We can go before that if you want,” he stated. “I just have to make a few phone calls to arrange something earlier.”

“We can discuss this,” Dee said. “After we take a nap. And a warm bath. Or maybe during the bath?” Dee turned his head to grin up at Ryo. “After I clean up around in here, that is.”

“Okay,” Ryo agreed. He captured Dee's mouth for another kiss. When they broke the kiss, Ryo started to giggle.

“Hmm?”

“You'll clean up?” Ryo asked. He gazed down at Dee, tightening his hold. “Is this what I get for proposing? Damn, if I had known earlier!” He chuckled as he continued to hug Dee.

“Well yeah… you told me before to pick up our clothes.”

Ryo smirked. “Really? Hey, maybe we can get Carol to propose to Bikky very early?”

“Ryo!” Dee sounded shocked.

“What?”

“Don't let them grow up so quickly,” Dee replied. “Especially Bikky.”

Ryo sighed heavily. “I know, baby. I was just joking. I'm not so anxious for Bikky to grow up and leave us.”

Dee nodded. He looked up at Ryo again. “But they helped pick out the ring?” he asked, his eyes going back to his left hand again. “Carol… and Bikky?”

“Yeah. Bikky was totally excited about it,” Ryo stated.

“He didn't make any comments about it being a perv ring, did he?” He chuckled.

“No, he didn't,” Ryo replied.

“Man, and I thought we were getting along very well lately.” Dee snickered.

“Actually....” Ryo pushed himself up on one elbow so he could look down at Dee's face better. “I think he was getting worried when he didn't see it on you even after a few days went by. I wanted to propose on Valentine's Day, you know.”

Dee reached up to caress Ryo's cheek. “Really?”

Ryo started to draw lazy circles on Dee's chest with a finger. “Yeah.”

“I can't say I blame you for holding off, because I would have done the same thing. But….” He lifted his hand so he could gaze at the ring again. “I feel very loved, Ryo.” The smile on his face was warm and tender. “And special,” he added softly.

“Good! Because you are, you know,” Ryo stated. He smiled. He could not help chuckling. He felt too good seeing the absolute look of love and contentment on Dee's face.

Dee nodded, finally in agreement with Ryo. “That's because you deserve the best.” He continued to smile at Ryo, their eyes meeting.

“Bikky fussed over what the ring should look, like he was buying it for his love,” Ryo said. He chuckled at the memory.

Dee laughed. “That's scary, you know.

“Yeah, it was. Carol was speechless for ten minutes, and that's saying a lot!” Ryo had to laugh again.

“When he comes home today, I'll make sure I get my hand before his eyes.”

“Good! He'll be very happy.”

“God, he is growing up. And we're getting older,” Dee moaned, before chuckling. “Now we need to gasp and wheeze for a while after one time of doing it.”

Ryo laughed. “Well, it was not the average position, you know.” He briefly kissed Dee's lips. “My knees hurt.”

“Tell me about it,” Dee sighed.

“You had a pillow,” Ryo reminded him.

“Yeah. So I can imagine how you feel. Next time, we'll have to find a way to keep a pillow under you.”

“Deal.” Ryo leaned down for another loving kiss until they were both breathless. He rested his head in the crook of Dee's neck for a moment before lifting his head to look down at Dee again.

“Dee,” Ryo said, suddenly looking serious. “He wants us to adopt him. Officially, I mean.”

“What?” Dee looked shocked. “Bikky… he wants us as his legal fathers? You… and me?”

Ryo nodded vigorously. “Yes. He was very excited about it all, and kept saying something about us `finally becoming a real family'.” He smirked as he added, “Of course he ruined it by saying that now we're just `two pervs with a street kid'.”

Dee laughed. “Now I feel better.”

“Me too,” Ryo agreed, chuckling.

Dee's smile was brilliant. “Well… then….” His eyes met Ryo's. “I guess our marriage means the three of us can be a real family.” He caressed Ryo's cheek. “I want a family, you know. Especially if it's you and the midget man.”

“I'd like to think that we already are a real family,” Ryo said. “But I know what you mean.”

“I know. We are,” Dee said. “But we'll be more a real family. Honestly, if that kid stops calling me perv, I'm going to start thinking he hates me.”

Ryo laughed with Dee. As the laughter subsided, he rested his head on Dee's shoulder and took a deep breath. “Wow. I feel… I dunno… calmer? More centered? I dunno.”

Dee nodded in agreement as he laced his fingers through one of Ryo's hands. “I feel more… at peace,” he said, his voice calm, yet filled with love.

“Yeah,” Ryo said. “That's it.”

“With everything,” Dee went on. “I feel complete.”

“Yeah. That too.” He smiled at Dee.

“Something was filled in me that I didn't realize was empty until now.”

Ryo lifted his head and grinned wickedly down at Dee. “Well…” he started, the suggestion obvious on his face.

“Hey!” Dee remarked, trying to sound offended, but failed as he fell into laughter. “It's empty right now too.”

Ryo laughed at Dee's comment. He rubbed his nose against Dee's cheek. “I know what you mean, baby,” he stated seriously. “I know.”

Dee sighed. “Thank you,” he whispered.

“You're finally… home,” Ryo stated. “Here with me. And I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know that I am the one to do that for you.” He lightly kissed Dee. “Because that's what I felt I wanted to be for you from the first day on. Honestly, I have no idea why I tried to deny what we already knew was there for two years.”

“That's what I'm thanking you for,” Dee smiled. “For being that, and so much more.”

“Do I get a thank you kiss then?” Ryo asked, leaning down.”

“Those two years… you were scared,” Dee said. “You probably kinda knew how deep your feelings ran, and it scared you away. It doesn't matter now anyway. We're together and have been for a while.”

Ryo nodded. “Yeah. Most likely.”

Dee lifted his head to reach toward Ryo's lips. “Of course you get a thank you kiss. A very proper thank you kiss.” He kissed Ryo soundly.

As Ryo kissed Dee back, he rolled his lover onto his back so he did not have to keep leaning over the way he had been. As they continued to kiss, Dee slipped arm around Ryo, pulling him close.

Ryo settled along Dee, propping his head on one hand as he ran his fingertips over Dee's chest and belly. He smiled down at Dee as his fingers strayed, watching the look of enjoyment on the dark haired man's face. “You know, I never felt that strongly about anyone ever before, except my parents and my aunt and uncle.”

Dee nodded. “Speaking of family, I'm going to have to go to the orphanage today… later, after Bikky gets home.”

“Oh?”

Dee snickered. “Mother's going to hug you to death next time she gets her hands on you, you know.”

“I could come along,” Ryo said with a grin, “and we could tell her together.”

“I'd like that.”

“Okay. And if Bikky wants, he can come along, too, if you don't mind.”

“By all means. We're all her family now.” Dee made a face at Ryo. “Go ahead and tease me, but how long did you think I can keep this from her?”

“It's okay,” Ryo assured him. He chuckled and added, “Actually when I bought the ring, I was tempted to run to her to show her myself.”

Dee laughed at Ryo's confession. “That's why I love you.” He looked thoughtful for a moment before a teasing glint sparkled in his eyes. “I know at one point in life, you were probably thinking you'd end up marrying a woman, but...,” his grin grew wider, “…did you ever really think you'd end up marrying a penguinbaby?”

Ryo shrugged, attempting once again to look serious. It lasted a full second before he fell into laughter. “God, I'm a sodomist!” he exclaimed in mock horror. He dropped back down onto the bed.

Dee laughed along with Ryo. “You are - and a very good one too.” He grinned at Ryo.

Ryo sighed as he settled closer to Dee. “Dee…”

“Hmm?” Dee asked, starting to nuzzle Ryo's cheek.

Ryo grabbed Dee to pull him to lay on top of him.

Dee glanced down. “Need your human blanket, baby?” he asked, only half teasing.

Ryo stared up at Dee, his dark eyes meeting deep green ones. In a whisper, he said, “Can we make an exception just for today? Please?” He continued to stare pleadingly at Dee.

Dee's eyes got a soft look in them.

Still in a hushed whisper, Ryo added. “I want to feel my husband-to-be inside of me, too.”

“Damn you,” he replied. “You know you got me in a mood that I can't deny you anything, baby.” He stretched lazily while laying across Ryo. “Now?” he asked.

“Whenever you are ready.” Ryo smiled and hugged Dee.

Dee started to kiss Ryo, starting light, but the kiss deepened.

During a pause in their kissing, Ryo whispered into Dee's ear, “I'm so happy you said yes. I don't know what I would have done otherwise.”

“I don't think I could have any other answer,” Dee replied, his voice also hushed, near a whisper. “I've wanted this so badly for the longest time.” He kissed Ryo again. In between his kisses, he intoned, “I want you, I need you. I love you that much.”

Ryo ran his fingers down Dee's lean, supple back. “Then show me, please. Make love to me, Dee.”

Dee's mouth took Ryo's lips again. “Gladly. Anything for you, love.”

Both Dee and Ryo were surprised they had enough in them to go one more round as Dee fulfilled Ryo's wish and made love to the man he now called his husband-to-be.
