Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Twilight Lake ❯ Chapter 4

"Hey Ryo," D said as Ryo set a foot on the bottom of the stairs. He had just come up from the first floor and he was mildly surprised that people were still awake. But if Lee had been sulking over Ryo's absence, he could see why demons were still up.

"Hey. How have things been while I was out?" Ryo asked and D shrugged his shoulder.

"Okay. I'm sure that Lee found you, didn't he?"

"Yes. He was overexcited when he saw me. The bastard tackled me and pinned me to the ground."

"You're kidding."

"No. He was really upset, wasn't he?"

"I'll say. He was driving us all crazy."

"I figured as much, considering how he was once he pinned me. Did you ever meet Izo's sister?" Ryo asked as he began climbing the stairs.

"I didn't know he had a sister," D replied.

"Well she's currently eating but I was wondering if you would find her a room for the night. I'd take care of it myself but Lee..."

"I'll do it. Just get him back to normal. Ram him good and hard, will you? I'll see you tomorrow."

Ryo finished climbing the staircase and walked a short distance down the hall to his room. He opened his bedroom door, stepped in then closed it as he began taking his coat off. That was the one thing he hated about being king. There was so many articles of clothing to take off. He finished undressing and stretched his arms up towards the ceiling just as Lee entered the room with a small plate in his hand. He whistled slightly and Ryo glanced back at Lee.

"Flirt," he said as Lee shut the door behind him.

"Only with you, baby. Here's your food. I can feed you, dear and once you're done, you can feed me some of your sexy meat," he said as he looked over Ryo's body.

"You are so terrible, Lee."

"I'm ready for love. I brought you some oat bread and woodboar. I also got some autumn ale. Do you want to take it over to the bed?"

"Stop looking at it like that. You look like a dog outside of a butcher's."

"Not true. I don't look at you like a side of meat."

"You're practically drooling."

"I am not," Lee said as he set the plate on the nightstand. He took off his clothes as Ryo sat on the bed and picked up the glass of ale. He sat on Ryo's lap and held up the woodboar so that Ryo could eat it. Ryo glanced down at Lee's middle for a moment then leaned forward and took the meat into his mouth. Lee watched him intently and Ryo swallowed quickly.

"It's disturbing when you do that," he said. "I feel like a sheep staring at a pack of wolves. I know what you're thinking too and that knowledge isn't helping any."

Lee picked up the oat bread and broke off a small piece. He put part of it into his mouth and leaned close to Ryo. Ryo took the bread from Lee's mouth and swallowed it then kissed Lee. Lee placed his arms around Ryo's torso as Ryo forced Lee flat on the bed. He drew away from Lee and gazed down at him. Lee watched him with interest, waiting for Ryo to start.

"Are you ready now?" he asked then watched as Ryo reached for the stein of ale and drank the rest of the contents. He licked his lips and Lee watched him. He felt Ryo's tail on his leg and glanced at it. He was still adjusting to the fact that Ryo owned one.

He drew his breath in sharply when Ryo bit his thigh then closed his eyes. It was time. He felt the weight of Ryo's body on his and he opened his eyes to see Ryo's staring into his. Ryo brought his mouth close to Lee's and Lee opened his mouth as Ryo stuck out his long, slender tongue and kissed him. He felt Ryo's tongue probe his mouth as his tail waved back and forth, hitting Lee's legs slightly and Lee closed his eyes again. He was already feeling content and the real fun had yet to begin. As if sensing his thought, Ryo pulled away from Lee and kissed his neck. He then began licking Lee's chest stopping only to suck on each of Lee's nipples before he continued his way down to Lee's crotch. Lee began breathing heavily as Ryo laid a hand on Lee's groin and began to gently stroke it. He watched Lee's movements, remembering the time he had been forced to sleep with a woman.

It was back when he was thirteen or fourteen, he couldn't exactly remember his age, and he had found himself in the company of mercenaries Levin had hired to kill him. They didn't know that he was the prince and when the rest of the men had left with a woman in arm, he couldn't be left out. There was already a growing suspicion about his identity within the mercenary group and if he didn't take a woman, he would find himself in an awkward position. It was hard, he remembered, to find something about her that excited him. She was extremely beautiful as women go and she had taken it upon herself to teach him the motions. He supposed that once he had to begun to feel movement on his crotch, his natural urges had taken over but would he be able to do it again and with Lee as the woman? He glanced at Lee as he placed his mouth over Lee's groin. He was not entirely sure if he could do it when needed.

"What is it?" Lee asked then cried out when he felt Ryo's tongue movement. He definitely acted like a woman, Ryo noted as he continued his movements. Lee cried out a second time as he pushed his hips closer to Ryo. Ryo forced Lee to stay stationary as he began sucking on Lee's body. He screamed in excitement then breathed heavily as Ryo drew away and licked his lips. He stood up and walked away from the bed. He picked up a package of cigarettes and took one out.

"What are you doing now?" Lee asked as he continued to gasp for air.

"Smoking," Ryo replied as he lit a cigarette. He then walked to the window and glanced out.

"What are you doing now, honey?"

"Just standing. Why? Are you still burning?"

"No. I’m going to make the bed."

"Why? It’s just going to get messed up again."

"I want to do it."

"You’re an idiot."

"Why?"

"Why not?" Ryo replied and Lee rolled his eyes.

"That’s a stupid reply," Lee said and Ryo shook his head.

"You’re insane."

"No I’m not."

"Yes you are."

"Bastard. Are you smoking again?"

"Yeah. It's still the same cigarette so don't worry. I’d do it some more but I’m a little tired."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lee asked as Ryo watched him.

"My mind was still on sex. That was good. You don’t need to straighten the blankets. Just get the hell into bed," he said and Lee stuck out his tongue.

"Bastard."

"Get the fuck into bed. We need to put some rhythm into these sheets."

"We just finished."

"Did we?"

"Apparently not."

"Get in there you fucking bastard."

Lee grinned as he climbed into bed. He watched Ryo draw the curtains and adjusted his eyes to what little light was still the room. He folded his wings and leaned back as he watched Ryo walk over to where he lay. He watched Ryo sit on the edge of the bed and turned towards him.

"What happened to you sex drive?" he asked.

"It’s in neutral right now. I just remembered that I have a decision to make. Well, not exactly a decision since I don't have a choice in the matter. A journey to undertake, I guess," Ryo replied as he leaned back. Lee ran his fingers through Ryo’s hair as Ryo stared up at the ceiling.

"It’ll go fine honey."

"I just don’t know. I get the feeling that I’m going to relive the emotions I felt in those six years in this journey. I can’t do that. Not again."

"Darling, It won’t be the same. You had no one in those six years. Now you do."

"You’re right. Your fighting skills are at their peak, aren’t they?"

"Yes. So is my threshold of pain."

"I suppose we should leave tomorrow, then. I hope we make it," Ryo said as Lee ran his fingers over Ryo’s earrings. He pushed back the blanket and crawled down to where Ryo lay. He sat beside him and gazed down upon his lover.

"What’s bothering you?" he asked and Ryo shook his head.

"Nothing."

"You can tell me honey."

"No I can’t."

"Does it have to do with that time?"

Although Ryo said nothing, the pain that dwelled in his eyes showed Lee that he had hit the matter directly on the head. He laid his head on Ryo’s chest and ran his cheek over Ryo’s skin. He glanced up at Ryo and sighed. It was going to take some doing to snap him out of his current state of mind. He sat on Ryo’s chest and gently ran his fingers over Ryo’s skin. He gazed into Ryo’s dark eyes and leaned forward to kiss him.

"Come on baby. That time is over. You can’t do anything about it," Lee said as he leaned close to Ryo.

"I’ll never be the same Lee," Ryo said as he continued to gaze up at the ceiling. Lee ran his hands over Ryo’s face but Ryo made no effort to respond. Even six years later he was still traumatized by that time in his life. Lee wished that there were something that he could do to make him feel better. He hated when Ryo got despondent. He disliked it even more than Ryo’s anger. He comfortingly rubbed Ryo’s shoulders as he waited for Ryo to get back to normal.

"Come on honey. I’m practically set up for a ride."

"I can’t get rid of the images Lee. I remember everything that happened. I remember what happened to Kana and Izo...."

"Well snap out of it. This isn’t good for you."

"There was so much pain in that time."
"Do you want to talk?"

"No. You are really close for a ride, aren’t you?"

"That’s what I want to hear, my sick minded-baby," Lee said and Ryo grinned slightly.

"Sorry. It takes some time to get out of that mind-set. Every time I get stuck there it’s like a drowning man struggling to stay afloat."

"Don’t think about it any more honey. I want to be your rider."

"Now who’s being sick-minded?"

"I am not. I’m telling the truth."

"You’re an idiot."

"Just because I like to ride?"

Ryo grinned as Lee moved slightly back. He watched Lee’s movements and sighed. If Lee had been around during that portion of his life then perhaps he wouldn’t have been so deeply affected. He refused to talk about it to Lee simply because Lee had a tendency to get over- emotional and Ryo had a pretty good idea what his actions would be if he told Lee everything. Perhaps one day he would tell Lee everything but now was not the time. Lee would just have to accept that and go on from there.
