“So long as you’re okay,” he murmured, pressing Alex back against the bed and kissing along his shoulder.  He wasn’t sure if it was time to explain how pain and pleasure weren’t always inclusive, but it was often better that way.  Learning through experiencing it all was the best way.<br/><br/>“You?  Naked and wet in the shower?  How do you expect me to let you get down to the beach when I’m faced with a temptation like that?” he teased, moving away.  As soon as his feet were on the floor, he was dragging Alex by the legs to the very edge, then hoisting him up and guiding those long legs around him.  He didn’t let the man down until they were in the bathroom and he had to get the shower going.  As soon as it was good and hot, he hurried Alex in and followed after.<br/><br/>He had only been joking about it, but there was no lie that Alex was a serious temptation.  His face was like that of an angel, and his body begged to be touched.  There was no way the assassin would be able to resist long enough to allow Alex to heal.  That was apparent by the way he stepped up behind the man and began touching him, his hands gliding over Alex’s chest and stomach.  It served a purpose, helping wash that sweet skin of their lovemaking, but his eager kisses to the other blond’s neck told another story.  He just couldn’t keep his hands off.
