Lucio's sudden change in perspective wasn't unexpected; shifts like that typically happened once the drug was fully integrated into the bloodstream, but even Ansel was slightly surprised despite having this knowledge. He believed Lucio would settle and the high would come over him gradually, but instead, it seemed to grip all at once and flood him with feelings of euphoria and bliss. It was the best reaction Ansel could hope for, especially considering that just moments earlier Lucio had been on the verge of an ecstasy panic, something Ansel knew could ruin the drug for the young man forever. This was the superior alternative.<br/><br/>The joy wasn't the real shock, however, and Ansel sat staring into his lover's eyes for a long moment before the precious words fell from the younger man's lips.<br/><br/><i>“I trust you . . . I . . . I love you, Ansel.”</i><br/><br/>Whether it was Lucio's words, the drugs, or some mixture of the two, Ansel instantly felt himself being whisked away into a tornado of emotion, though all he could do was marvel at the sweet melody of Lucio's voice and the silkiness of his lips as they pressed against his own. He felt himself being swept away by the sheer force of Lucio's admission, his vocal declaration of love and his desire be with Ansel for everything life had to offer them. Ansel felt the same, though Lucio didn't give him the opportunity to speak as once they had torn their lips away from one another Lucio had begun to speak again, quickly and with intent.<br/><br/>Lucio wanted him to promise that he would never leave him. That he would stay with him forever. If anyone else had ever made such a request of Ansel, the professor would have scoffed and changed the topic of conversation, unwilling to chain himself to another person for the rest of his days. There were boys to fuck, women to seduce, a life to live that didn't allow for that type of commitment. But without any hesitation, Ansel knew that Lucio was better than anyone else he could possibly imagine. He was the most beautiful creature he had ever had the pleasure of laying his eyes on, with a smile that drove Ansel crazy and a mind that he wanted to pick apart and learn about. When Lucio was in the room, the rest of the world went dark, and his light was the only thing that Ansel could see, and he liked it that way. Whether the boy knew it or not, Ansel had already committed himself to him, deeply, without doubt, knowing that for the rest of his life Lucio was the only one who would every truly hold his interest.<br/><br/>They were kissing again, and now that the ecstasy and hit them both, each touch felt like a thousand orgasms against Ansel's skin. His erection was firm and aching, and any modesty or shame Ansel might have had in the presence of Lucio's brothers and their friends disappeared while he was under the influence. He wrapped his arms around Lucio and rolled over aggressively, getting the young man beneath him again. His hands were greedy as he pulled at Lucio's swim trunks, tugging them down to expose Lucio's beautiful cock and the gorgeous, narrow pelvis Ansel couldn't get enough of. He tore them off of Lucio and chucked them to the side so he could situate himself in between his lover's legs, blindly reaching behind him until his fingers wrapped around the bottle of lubricant.<br/><br/>"Baby," Ansel began, his pupils wide and his body on fire as he pulled him trunks down just enough to release his pulsing sex. "I love you, Lucio. I love every fucking inch of your body and your mind and your soul and I will spend the rest of my life in awe of you. I will never leave you. You're mine, and I'm yours. You're everything."<br/><br/>Ansel squeezed the lubricant into his hands and rubbed it all over his hungry cock, then smiled as he slipped a few fingers into Lucio to prep his entrance. He fingered his lovely boy for only a short while, though, as the desire to be inside of him was near its breaking point. Ansel positioned himself, pressing the tip of his precum soaked cock against Lucio's hole and groaned when he slipped inside, his hands on either side of Lucio's head as he thrust his hips forward. "I love you," he breathed, leaning down to trap Lucio's lips once more.
