The Edge
By JayEm

“Oh…”

Trails of fire followed Daniel’s fingers down, down the length of Jack’s back performing a familiar yet always thrilling dance of marking his skin in glyphs decipherable only to the two of them…tattoos of love and burning desire…

Jack performed his own archaeological excavation, delving into the mysterious depths of Daniel’s mouth and body, seeking a rhythm to unlock the treasure belonging only…ever…to him…

“…my…”

As Daniel thrust upward in perfect response…point-counterpoint…opening his very soul for the sake of mutual discovery, Jack felt himself engulfed, nearly overwhelmed…so very close to losing his sense of self in the perfection of a purpose they shared without reservation. Clever fingers found their way inside Jack seeking…ever seeking…then touching a core of pleasure as yet untapped…melting away all remaining barriers in a shuddering rush of molten heat…

“…God…”

Jack could only hold on, trusting Daniel to take control and see them through…

…………..

Through his own haze of intensity, Daniel knew Jack had moved beyond coherency…was poised on an edge both pure and fine. Daniel slowed his movements slightly…softening the edge, easing the taut strand of pleasure that hovered so very close to pain…

Jack’s smoldering eyes lost their distance…returning to gaze upon Daniel with heated adoration…body still poised yet calm…Jack seemed perfectly at home…here, now, inside…Daniel felt his heart beating wildly with much more than the exertion…

“I …”

Daniel moved again…tantalizingly, slowly…

His lover smiled, signaling readiness and pushing again, impossibly deeper into his body. With a soft moan, tender lips met again with a hunger in no way abated…

“Jack…”

Then there was no breath for speech as the fire returned…pulsing headlong toward a completion nothing could stop. Jack’s hands stroked Daniel’s chest, neck, back finally slipping behind to draw their mouths together sharing breathy moans as their tongues dueled…not for control but for the ultimate pleasurable purpose of bringing the other to the edge again…and beyond…

“…love…”

The half-incoherent word vibrating between them proved the catalyst…

The rhythm increased…both driving further, faster, harder…falling with eyes wide open into the abyss of completion, trembling, gasping, clinging as the energy faded bringing them back to reality in the form of warmth, sweat and the smell of hard-won release…

Daniel lay there breathing deeply, feeling Jack’s head begin to stir as if to move away…

It was too soon…

………………

Jack’s heart was slowly returning to its accustomed rhythm, realization sinking in that Daniel had to be getting uncomfortable under his weight and the fact he was still buried comfortably inside him…

A shift preparatory to moving brought a low moan rumbling from Daniel’s chest…

“Stay…”

Jack felt arms tightening around him….knew the word meant so much more than a single syllable could convey…let his heart fly on the power of it…emboldened and free even as it gave itself away…

“Forever…”
