and went back to nuzzling and kissing. His lover stopped suddenly several minutes later. “Did you mean to eat, with Topaz and his Gemini?”
Leo chuckled. “Yes, my love. Although your plan is much more appealing.”
Stephan laughed. “Well do each other first then, lover, and then we’ll go to the market and pick up fresh rolls to go with the muffins.”
“Then we can come home, play in the shower and then eat?” He nipped Stephan’s full lower lip, hugging tight.”You see? I’m not the only one with good plans!””You inspire me.” Leo stretched, sliding out of the heat of Stephan’s body. “Let’s put the food away and go take a bath, love.”
“Yes, Leo.” Stephan stood and stretched, letting his pants fall around his ankles. Stepping out of them, Stephan headed for the flowerbeds. “Let me just say goodnight to my pretties.”
He watched the sweet curve of Stephan’s ass for a second before beginning to gather the dishes, leaving his own butterfly to flit among the blossoms.
Chapter Six
Topaz had shown Quincy the loom, the wall hangings. He’d shown off the yarn room and the little niche where Moira and her kittens slept. He’d shown the long circular stairway leading up into his bower.
His room was a riot of blues and greens, a nest, really. The bed took up three-quarters of the room, piled high with blankets and pillows, surrounded by a hand-woven green netting, dried herbs woven into the cloth.
His clothes and books were kept in handmade baskets, strewn over the floor. The effect was peaceful, oceanic and quiet. Beautiful. His.
Almost as beautiful as those sweet eyes.
“This is my room, Gemini.”
“Wow, it certainly is different -- colorful.” Quincy wandered around, glancing into the baskets.
“It’s a good place.” He relaxed against the doorframe, watching Quincy look. The baskets on the walls held crystals and herbs, CDs and candles, little pieces of pottery and his pincushion collection.
Quincy turned to him and smiled. “It suits you.”
“Is that a good thing?” He smiled back, moving toward Quincy. “Can I have my kiss now?” He’d been very patient and very good and he was very tired of waiting.
“Only if it can be more than just a kiss.” Quincy’s eyes were dark, lids heavy.
“As much as you want, Gemini. I want you.” Topaz moved into Quincy’s arms, lifting up for a kiss.
Quincy’s hand slid along his cheek into his hair, mouth lowering slowly, as if his Gemini were savoring the moments leading to their first real kiss. Finally their lips were together, Quincy’s mouth pressing and warm. The softest sound left him, happiness flooding him in a warm, sweet wave. Oh. Oh, sweet heaven. Was this what they felt, Ku and Daisy? Quincy moaned, hands wrapping around his arms and pulling him closer. A warm tongue parted his lips, Quincy pressing into his mouth.
He pushed against Quincy’s body, lips parting to give Quincy a taste. Strawberries. Quincy tasted sweet and tart and just like strawberries.
“Oh God, Topaz... you taste...” Quincy whimpered and pulled him closer still, the long body warm and welcoming. Quincy was warm and soft, hair tickling his fingers. They shared another kiss, this time Topaz got to explore, finding that those white-white bottom teeth only looked perfect, one tilted just enough to be fascinating.He could feel Quincy’s need blazing against his belly, felt the little whimpers before he heard them.
“Bed?” Topaz reached out, pulled the netting aside. He’d have asked something more sensible, but he just... couldn’t.
“I don’t... I didn’t bring anything with me.”
“I have some.” He smiled at Quincy, loving those eyes. “No stress, Gemini. I just want to keep kissing you and you make my knees jiggly.”
“Oh... I want more than kissing Topaz, I just didn’t want to start something we couldn’t finish.” Quincy was breathless and flushed. “Kissing you makes me... not jiggly.”
Oh. Oh, good. He
