It wasn't clear who connected their lips first. Dylan held Leo like someone would steal him (Leo) from him (Dylan).
This was their first kiss and they were both wary as they learnt each other's lips and ways and so, at first, the kiss was gentle. No one wanted to be called a glutton. Dylan, however, was getting impatient but he reckoned that he shouldn't hurry since he had waited for this exact moment for years. He had even mapped it in his mind since he had imagined it a million times.
They tasted each other's lips and an electric current passed between them. It was like tasting chocolate for the first time.
After a while, just tasting the lips wasn't enough and he had waited long enough. It was time he took control.
Dylan used his tongue to pry Leo's mouth open. And Leo was a willing participant because he didn't even try to resist. He readily took in Dylan's tongue and sucked on it. A moaning sound left Dylan's throat because the excitement was unprecedented and it was clearly more that he could take. It was more than he had ever imagined. His blood pressure and body temperature were rising at an unprecedented rate.
Both their heart rates had increased and Leo could feel D's heart rate against his chest as D could feel Leo's.
But the sweetness from the kiss was something Dylan wasn't willing to part with so quickly though it was taking all his self restraint to hold himself back. He played with Leo's tongue and it was Leo's turn to moan with pleasure. They kissed as they both fought for dominance. After who knows how long, they separated as they panted. They both were panting and smiling and Dylan gently placed his forehead on Leo's and they both burst out laughing.
"Gosh! You don't know how long I have fantasised doing that with you," Leo said without even an ounce of shame.
"So, are you saying you have also been crushing on me but you have been hiding your feelings?” Dylan asked as he still held Leo and their foreheads were still touching and their bodies plastered together.
"No, Dylan. I have been in love with you all along. It was not just a crush. I can't pinpoint the exact moment or day that I fell in love with you but I admired you from day one. I never even for a day imagined that someone like you could fall in love with someone like me," he finished and chanced a peek at Dylan to see what his facial expression was like.
But Dylan was smiling like an idiot. If the saying “dreams come true" was true, then this was his moment.
So, he wasn't wrong? He suspected Leo liked him but never thought it to be true. He couldn't see how Leo could like a man as he had been in a relationship with a girl before. But he was glad that happened. At least he didn't have to convince Leo to love him. It was like ordering an already ready meal.
Dylan kissed Leo again. This time, he took the lead. He started by nibbling on Leo's lower lip as he savoured that taste that he had fantasised about for so long. He bit him gently and Leo let him. He then invaded Leo's mouth and he wasn't gentle. He swirled his tongue inside that cavity as they both moaned from the pleasure. He then took Leo's tongue in his mouth and sucked gently on it. He then returned his tongue to Leo's mouth and swirled it around once more as he savoured the sweet taste of his beloved.
Dylan was tongue fucking Leo who didn't mind for this was a pleasure he had never felt before. He wanted it and Dylan was the man.
Leo felt weak in the knees and he bent separating them and breaking the kiss. He didn't want Dylan to think that he was disgusted or unwilling and so he said out of breath, "let's stop there. If we continue here, we might do unthinkable things and I wouldn't want our first time to be on the terrace of a hotel."
"Ha! So you want to have sex with me?" Dylan teased to mask the fact that his face was screaming 'aroused' and his little man was at attention.
"Who wants to have sex with you? I was just saying," Leo said with a feigned pout.
Dylan chucked and held Leo against his side, "I know and I was just teasing. I love you, Leo Mamai Adams. I promise to love you as long as I have breath in me and in the next life too if given the chance. You can use me as your anchor. I will be your Guardian Angel. Your guardian, for eternity if that's what you will need.
You can use me as much as you want for I am at your disposal Leo. I have been for a very long time. No one will hurt you as long as I am alive. That's a promise I will die if I ever break," he finished and pecked Leo on his mouth.
Leo felt so touched and flustered and he felt his love for Dylan swell. He couldn't understand how he could love one person so much.
"Thanks D. I love you too. And I don't want you to just be my cushion. I want us to be equals in this relationship. Let's protect and love each other. Okay?"
"Okay, my love. Equals it will be. But you will allow me to love you a bit more. Okay?"
"Yuck! That sounds unfair. Let's love each other equally, wife," Leo said while he laughed.
"Okay husband. What do you want me to be calling you? Baby? Babes? Bae? Honey? Sweetheart? Sugar? My heartbeat? Husband? ..." He continued as his smile got wider and wider as he looked at his beloved's expression.
It was a whole new experience for Dylan to tease Leo like this. He swore to make up for all the time he had lost.
"You can call me anything you want but not before people, I don't want my mom to find that I'm in a relationship with a man from someone else. I want to be the one to tell her when I'm ready," he finished and looked at Dylan for his response.
"It's okay Leo. Take as much time as you want. As long as I know you are mine, my heart is at peace," he finished and pecked Leo on the cheek.
"Is this how it's going to be now?" Leo asked.
"What?"
"You pecking me every chance you get?"
"Yes, come here. Let me give you a peck," Dylan said as he held Leo and started kissing him all over his face.
"Yuck! Yuck! Let me go. It's gross," Leo said as he laughed and tried to free himself from Dylan's grasp.
"Stand still and let me kiss you to my heart's content. Do you know how long I have wanted to do this? You are mine now so stay still baby," Dylan said as he held him tighter and continued his ambush.
The laughter continued as they played with each other running around the terrace looking like two overgrown children.
They both were
happy.
It was progress on the positive scale for both.
