Lucas lay still, his body nestled within the sheets as Kane's strong arms wrapped around him from behind.Lucas's eyes were fixed on the window, his thoughts wandering.
Kane, oblivious to the storm within Lucas, nuzzled closer, breathing in the familiar scent of Lucas's hair. His hand brushed aside the strands that had fallen across Lucas's neck, revealing the smooth, pale skin beneath. He leaned in to press a tender kiss to the nape of Lucas's neck, his lips lingering as if trying to convey all the love he felt in that simple touch.
Despite Kane's tenderness, Lucas remained composed, his expression a careful mask. He closed his eyes briefly, allowing the warmth of Kane's affection to wash over him, but his mind was elsewhere, distant.
Kane shifted slightly, guiding Lucas to turn his head so their eyes could meet. His gaze was soft, filled with a vulnerability that seemed almost out of place between them. Lucas watched him intently, his blue eyes unwavering.
"I love you," Kane whispered, his voice low and earnest.
Lucas held his gaze for a moment longer, then allowed a slow smile to curve his lips, a smile that Kane always craved. Without a word, Lucas leaned in, capturing Kane's lips in a slow, deliberate kiss. The kiss was languid, controlled, giving Kane just enough to believe that it was Lucas's way of saying, *I love you too.*
Kane's heart swelled, convinced that Lucas's silent response was all the affirmation he needed. He kissed Lucas back with a quiet desperation, eager to hold onto the moment, to believe in the connection he felt. His hand slid down Lucas's side, pulling him closer until their bodies were pressed together, his touch lingering on Lucas's skin as if trying to memorize every contour.
Lucas allowed himself to relax into Kane's embrace, his head resting against Kane's chest. Kane took it as a sign of contentment.
Kane, lost in the warmth of the moment, nuzzled Lucas's neck again, his lips tracing a slow path up to his ear. The touch was tender, filled with a love that Kane believed was reciprocated.
But Lucas's mind remained detached, coldly analyzing every move. He turned his head slightly to meet Kane's gaze once more, his blue eyes gleaming with a deceptive allure. His fingers traced a light path up Kane's arm, his touch teasing, seductive... loving.
Then, Kane spoke, his voice a mixture of excitement and sincerity. "I've been thinking... we could do more together. I mean, really together." He paused, searching Lucas's face for any sign of agreement. "We could hunt together. I've already got everything set up. It'll be just you and me, side by side.The last time was a surprise but this time we'll do it right."
It was then that Lucas's expression shifted ever so slightly, a spark of genuine interest igniting in his eyes. For the first time that morning, he allowed himself to feel a thrill of excitement. His smile widened, and he turned his body to press closer against Kane, his movements becoming more affectionate, more engaged.
"Hunt together, huh?" Lucas let the words linger in the air, his voice a mix of curiosity and amusement. His hand moved up to Kane's neck, fingers lightly grazing the skin as he leaned in, his lips brushing against Kane's ear. "That sounds… exciting."
Kane's breath hitched at the sensation, his heart pounding in his chest. To him, Lucas's words were a sign of acceptance, of shared intentions. He let out a contented sigh, closing his eyes as he felt Lucas's lips press against his neck."Yeah," Kane whispered, his voice filled with anticipation. "It'll be perfect. Just us, Lucas. No one else."
Lucas's lips curled into a genuine smile against Kane's skin, his excitement now palpable. He kissed Kane's neck again, this time with more pressure, before pulling back just enough to meet Kane's gaze. "I like the sound of that," Lucas purred, his tone dripping with seduction. He reached up to brush a stray lock of hair from Kane's forehead, his touch gentle yet deliberate.
As their lips met once more, Lucas let himself sink into the kiss, this time allowing some of his true excitement to show. When he finally pulled back, he whispered near Kane's ear, his voice low and filled with a new intensity. "Let's make it unforgettable, then," he murmured, the words laced with an anticipation that only Kane could feel.
Kane, completely enraptured, nodded eagerly, a grin spreading across his face. "We will," he promised, his voice filled with excitement. "We'll make it something to remember."
For once, their plans aligned, but only Lucas understood the full extent of what those plans would entail.
Kane studied Lucas again with small smile. "So, do you still want to go to the party tonight? I'm not letting you out of my sight today. Whatever you decide, I'll be right there with you."
Lucas's eyes flickered with a dark amusement as he met Kane's gaze, the weight of yesterday's events lingering in the air. He let the tension stretch between them, savoring the power in his silence before speaking.
"I need to let off some steam," Lucas finally said, his voice low and laced with something dangerous. "Yesterday left me craving a little… release."
Kane's lips curled into a twisted smile, his grip on Lucas tightening. "That's what I was hoping you'd say," he murmured, pulling Lucas closer, excitement gleaming in his eyes. "Tonight, we'll make it unforgettable."
Lucas tilted his head, letting the moment hang in the air before nodding slowly. "Then let's make it worth our while," he whispered, his voice carrying a promise of dark indulgence. Kane's grin widened as he hugged Lucas, the thrill of what was to come igniting between them.
Lucas finally pushed himself off the bed, moving with a deliberate slowness that made Kane's eyes linger on him. As Lucas rose, Kane reluctantly released him, his grip loosening with a hint of reluctance. Kane stood up as well, both of their bodies completely exposed.
Kane watched Lucas with a mix of admiration and desire, a smirk playing on his lips as he shamelessly displayed himself. "You really know how to get under my skin,I could take you again right here." Kane muttered, his voice thick with a blend of satisfaction and anticipation.
Lucas glanced over his shoulder, his eyes cold but with a trace of something darker as he took in Kane's disheveled appearance. He replied with a smirk, turning away as he headed toward the bathroom, leaving Kane standing there, naked and still caught in the aftermath of their shared intensity.
As Lucas headed to the shower, Kane remained in the room, naked and restless. He wandered aimlessly until his gaze fell upon the window. Outside, a figure stood motionless, watching him with an unsettling intensity.
Annoyance flickered in Kane's eyes as he moved closer to the window, studying the shadowy form. The figure's features remained indistinguishable, and before he could discern more, they receded into the darkness.
