“I know you do, Käraste,” he whispered, reaching up to slip the hair tie from Alex’s hair.  He let that long, gorgeous silk down and rubbed his fingers through it and against the man’s scalp, just in case anything hurt from being pulled.  Then, knowing there was nothing but the lingering aches and pains to make his new little lover uncomfortable, he slid down and drew his tongue across a nipple.  “That’s why I’m going to be gentle.  That’s why we’re going to take everything slow.  Only what you can enjoy, okay?”<br/><br/>His mouth parted around the crest of Alex’s ribcage, teeth coming in to scrape tauntingly against the skin.  The smell from the body conditioner was still radiating from that silken skin, and Andreas moaned in delight as he moved lower still.  “And tonight is all about you.  I want to give you pleasure.  That’s all.”  He reached Alex’s hip and kissed, nibbled, and licked where there were no dark marks that he could make out in the dim lighting.
