Faolan was completely enraptured by Lucien, absorbed in him. He imagined that all this time he had been holding back from something so wonderful, so comforting...if only he could change the past...

He felt Lucien's hand against his chest and moaned inadvertently with pleasure as heat followed wherever the Nephilim touched. Every second of skin contact was like a breath of air to him, and he only wanted more and more of it. Although he was being extraordinarily gentle for a man of his size and strength, he could feel that this would be short lived if they continued this way. Desire had been one thing that he had buried so deep within him that he wasn't sure he could still access it...until now. Now it was coming out in a flood, a torrent, and Faolan was splitting his attention between keeping it at bay and this intimate moment. If something had to give, Faolan knew which he would choose to unleash.

When Lucien broke the kiss, Faolan was surprised, and a little worried that he had done something wrong. His hand had snaked from Lucien's hip to cover the Nephilim's palm as it lay against his chest, and he gripped it now for fear of Lucien pulling away from him. He looked down, once more into Lucien's eyes and felt all of the fear melt away as he heard the words. He opened his mouth to respond, but only [color=a36209]"I lo-"[/color] escaped before the kiss resumed.

With renewed passion, Faolan pulled Lucien into him with one arm wrapped around his waist and the other against his neck, feeling the throbbing of his jugular beneath his fingers. He pressed Lucien to him until they were seamless, their chests and hips completely flush with one another. Faolan knew that he was aroused, but he didn't care if Lucien noticed or not. There was so much heat between them, there was nothing Faolan could do to stop the obvious signs from showing. He had not felt this in...well...ever.

Without thinking, but within the rhythm of the kiss, Faolan's tongue slipped from behind his teeth to brush Lucien's lips and a low growl rumbled in his chest.
