Water and Dust: 14, m/m fiction WIP, NSFW

Previously

From where Brendan held him, Marc gazed down on Brendan’s face. The water had made his hair flat, though the curls tried to reassert themselves. Brendan features were placid, almost gentle. Unusual for Brendan, so much that Marc grinned, slipping his hands up to frame Brendan’s jaw and cheeks, like a cup for libation.

“Who made you?”

Brendan sighed. “You know.”

There was a pause as the memory of the desert threatened to dry the pool with harsh winds and sand. Marc quickly leaned down to kiss Brendan’s forehead, and said to his skin;

“Remember that harmony was born of love and war.”

Brendan chuckled sardonically. “Never thought I was that harmonious.”

Marc brushed his hand down Brendan’s wet hair. “Just saying that people can come from the most unlikely of places.”

Brendan pulled back, and met Marc’s eyes, curious, a little puzzled, but soft and warm too. His fingers clutched at Marc’s back, adjusting him so he sunk a little further down. Marc was grinning until he realised his cock, stiff as an arrow, brushed against Brendan’s own.

Water and Dust: 13, m/m fiction WIP, NSFW

When Marc did sink his teeth into Brendan’s shoulder, Brendan gripped his forearms, his own trembling, the water drops shuddering down his back. He would have melted into the pool itself, gasping for air as he sank.

The sound and feel of Brendan quivering against him was enough to make Marc catch him closer, pull his teeth away, and bury his face in Brendan’s neck.

They say blood is thicker than water, Marc mused. But water, when it enters the body, and is absorbed, becomes blood.

Brendan was both his water and blood, and Marc ached to absorb him through his skin.

Brendan must have sensed Marc’s impending desire to collapse into him, and scooped his hands under Marc’s buttocks, making him bring his legs up around Brendan’s own. Marc’s feet left the bottom of the pool. They could never have done this without the buoyancy of the water; Marc was taller, broader, and heavier.

“You fucking amaze me,” Brendan breathed.

Marc exhaled, knowing it was him he should have said that. Jesus, what the hell would Marc do without him?

Been in Hell, no doubt.

Water and Dust: 12

We are now heading into NSFW territory. Text under the cut. :)

Continued from here

Marc fell into the kiss, while at the same time capturing Brendan to him, bring their bodies skin to skin, the water diverting around them to allow their hips and stomachs to slide next to each other.

Their cocks eased together – both had grown hard while in the water. After all this time, how much Marc still wanted Brendan, still felt the rising sensation in his belly. The serene comfort of being together, the familiarity and knowledge of each others bodies…it should have a dullness to it, Marc was sure. Yet Brendan’s coaxing mouth, and his splayed hands that caressed Marc’s hips, and then buttocks, rendered the comfort a new excitement.

The water made Brendan’s skin soft, slippery. Marc ducked his head, away from Brendan’s mouth, and planted a kiss where his neck met his shoulder. There was the slightest rise and fall of Brendan’s chest; it took Marc months to realise that this was a sign of arousal, that he was touching him the right way, that his lips had found the exact places would, if teased, would drive Brendan wild.

And of course, Marc knew that the spot he was pressing his lips to, once he begun with his teeth, would have Brendan rolling his head back and crying aloud.

Onward with ‘Water and Dust’: contemporary m/m fiction

Marc remained very still as Brendan took a step backwards, and scooped his hands into the water. Brendan cupped the water, raised it like an offering, and let it spill over Marc’s shoulder. His hand followed, a soft and soothing touch on the scratches on Brendan’s arm. He did the same for other. An anointment, a blessing. Marc’s whole body swelled with humble gratitude, and quiet arousal.

The moonlight caught the parts of Brendan Marc would rarely have noticed; the glean of his fingernails, the brilliant whites of his eyes. And the water, drops like diamonds on his collarbone, and across his shoulders. Marc would have touched each drop, tried to capture each one in his hand, if Brendan would have let him. He wouldn’t, of course. You might tame someone, but that means you let them have their way, at least sometime.

It caused Marc little pain to do so.

Brendan reached around to Marc’s back. Once more, he cupped the water, and for a long moment, let his hands hover at the point where Marc’s neck began. He met Marc’s eyes, gazing up at him with such power, that Marc almost swayed in the water. He could have caught Brendan to him right then, but he would not.

When Brendan released the water, it cascaded down Marc’s back, between his shoulder blades, and crashing back into the pool, rejoining the particles it was once part of. Brendan swept his hands down Marc’s back, and, finding his hips, pulled Marc to him for a kiss.

Yet more ‘Water and Dust’: contemporary m/m fiction

Previously

Marc’s hand stiffened, knowing if he flexed he’d gripped Brendan’s face too tightly. As he let the sharp yet delicate sensation spread across his hand and down his arm, Marc evened his breathing, making himself gentler, softer, before he allowed his fingers to fall back so his nails glided down Brendan’s cheek. His thumb was still captive in Brendan’s mouth, and Brendan’s eyes were on him, bright and full of promise.

Marc breathed, “Love,” and took a step closer, but Brendan released him, backing away, and holding on hand to Marc’s forearm.

“Wait,” he said, and Marc’s chest filled with thwarted desire, Brendan so close, yet stopping him and just such a distance.

It was always this game between them. If in life Brendan was bolder than Marc, when their touches went beyond tender affection, he turned between wild and seductive, to cautious with his back up like a haunched cat backed into a corner.

But Brendan smiled, fingers brushing away the water on Marc’s arms. “Let me look after you.”

Further with ‘Water and Dust’: contemporary m/m fiction

Continued from here.

The water Brendan shook around him was quiet compared to his words, deafening for all their softness. Marc sighed, and entered the water. The coolness encased him, silky, soft, like a glove, or a balm, soothing the scratches on his shoulder.

The water enveloped his cock. It rose and fell easily between his legs as he stepped over the smooth pebbles, heading to Brendan who now hovered with his nose at the water line, peering at Marc with glimmering eyes. Marc reached him, and stroke his hand over Brendan’s curls.

“Hey.”

Brendan rose, his head lilting into Marc’s palm, like a panther allowing itself to be tamed. Marc never wanted Brendan tamed, yet somehow, he’d done just that.

“I try to forget,” Brendan said, a confession, and a scolding aimed not at Marc but at himself.

All Marc did was nod. He swept his hand around Brendan’s cheek and jaw, thumb finding Brendan’s lower lip. Brendan’s eyes fluttered, and he sunk his teeth into the pad of Marc’s thumb.

Marc chuckled, but his face burned as he peeled off the jeans, his cock shyly slipping out and hanging loose once he’d unbuttoned. No one was around, and yet his nakedness felt all the more stark outdoors, no walls to protect him.

As he kicked his jeans away, Marc said, “Remember the water hole near Broken Hill?”

Brendan stopped moving, and the lapping of the water stilled, the silence compressing the night air.

Marc frowned; he could see the glint in Brendan’s eyes, a darkness concealled by their apparent shine. “Brendan?”

Brendan sank under the water, and suddenly emerged, shaking the water from his hair.

“There’s a lot to remember about Broken Hill.”

Brendan slipped in the water. It rippled, a distorted mirror, fracturing and wavering the trees in the reflection. Marc lowered what he carried to the ground. Once, the sight of Brendan naked and wet, his skin reflecting the moonlight, would have sent blood rushing straight to his cock. Now, as he watched Brendan glide through the water to the centre of the pool, his body filled with the warm hum that comfortable and familiar bring when they surprise you with an image of stark beauty.

Brendan glanced back, face serious. “Are you coming?”

Marc started to take tentative steps over the rocks to the water, when Brendan laughed.

“Jeans off, you fool!”

More ‘Water and Dust’: contempoary short m/m fiction

They weren’t long back in the trees when Marc realised their destination, and he smiled.

The pool lay like a bright shield, silver in the moonlight, quiet and undisturbed. So bright that they almost didn’t need the lanterns. The trees, long black fingers, stood like silhouettes against the shimmering light.

When they came to the water’s edge, Brendan put down both the lantern and the rifle. The yellow light behind the glass seemed to vanish with the brightness of the moonlit water. Brendan yanked off his boots and tossed his bathrobe aside, Marc catching his breath as the light made Brendan’s pale skin glow.

Continuing ‘Water and Dust’: contemporary short m/m fiction

Forget what (little) happened before? Read here. If you’re just coming into this, it’s a short m/m piece, each part approximately six sentences long. Aiming to be more romantic and a little sensual rather than overly smutty. ;)

Marc started. The usual excuses came to his mind: it’s late; we should sleep early; the lights and the radio are on. He didn’t need to voice them, though, for in his mind he heard Brendan flick each one of them off with a solid, reasonable rejection. This land was theirs. They didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission, or wait on expectation. They’d built the fence to protect their sanctuary. Now they could enjoy it, and live their own rules.

Shaking off the old ways of thinking though was, for Marc, like trying to step out of his own skin. While Brendan walked with an assurance, whistling as his lantern swung, Marc couldn’t rid the tension from his chest.
