Can Barely Hide

In his dreams Cloud could feel Reno holding him tight. The heat that flowed from his lover seemed to burn his flesh like a branding iron, forever marking him as Reno's. That made him grip his pillow slightly, a small smile gracing his lips.

When he stirred, slowly coming to some hours later, a small groan escaped his lips. He hurt. Lying still a moment he remembered why and sighed. "Reno...?" He pushed himself up with a small gasp.

Reno cracked open one eye. Had Cloud called for him? Memories of the night before stirred his cock and he reached for his lover without coming fully awake. Reno pulled Cloud overtop his body and ran possessive hands down his bare back to playfully squeeze his ass.

There was something Cloud would never get sick of- Reno's desire for him. Whimpering, he pushed his hands on Reno's chest to hold himself up. With his arms trembling he pressed his groin against Reno's. He closed his eyes to breathe, remembering the euphoria when Reno claimed him body and soul just hours ago.

Even with his eyes closed Reno could sense that something was a bit...off. He ran his hands all over Cloud's body enjoying the feel of his smooth skin then he experimentally pulled his lover's ass cheeks apart.

Opening his eyes to watch Cloud's reaction, Reno pressed two cool and dry fingers against Cloud's entrance.

Gritting his teeth, Cloud flinched and tried to scoot away from his lover's hands. The movement caused friction between their groins and Cloud froze, torn between pleasure and pain. "Reno..." He whispered, trying to keep the tremor from his voice. Opening his eyes he looked down into those blue pools.

"No, baby," Reno said firmly and cupped the back of Cloud's head to pull him forward for a kiss. "You're too sore."

Reno urged Cloud to lay back down on his chest and mentally told his hard cock it was just going to have to wait. He rubbed his hands soothingly up and down Cloud's back.

"Didn't I tell you that I love everything about you and not just the sex?" Reno asked as he tugged on a lock of blond hair. "This makes me happy, too."

Sighing, Cloud relaxed on top of Reno. "You did..." He smiled. "This makes me happy too." He pushed his nose against Reno's. "And that made me happy. I am sore, but it was wonderful." He nipped Reno's nose.

Feeling the bandages against his flesh he pushed up slightly to look down. "Are *you* sore?" He looked up.

Giving his lover a mock offended look over the assault to his nose, Reno tugged on Cloud's hair again.

"It's actually not bad at all," Reno said with a soft smile. "Musta been your tender, loving care." Reno stretched with a yawn and squirmed his shoulders back into the pillows. "The good news is that because of yesterday's work cutting into my recovery time I managed to get today off. What about you?"

Settling back on Reno's chest, Cloud propped his head up on his hands. "I want to stay with you," he answered. "I was thinking of doing deliveries again. But that will take a day or so to set back up."

"So what are we going to do?"

"Whatever you want, Cloud," Reno said. He hesitated a moment to caress his lover's cheek while thinking of what he wanted to say. "You...haven't had much time to enjoy yourself or to just relax in years, have you? So, today is all yours and so am I."

"When you say it like that, I wish I wasn't so sore," Cloud almost purred. He had to get his mind off sex. Laying on top of his naked lover wasn't exactly helping that. "Let's go for a drive. We can get some finger food. Find some place quiet to feed each other. What do you think?"

"That sounds great. I know a wonderful little fondue place. Each of the seating areas is enclosed and private. Before that we can drive to anywhere you want to." Reno stretched again and slid gracefully from the bed. "About we just take your Fenrir? That way I can wrap myself around you, and if you have a little too much to drink then I might finally get my chance to drive the thing. I've always wanted to, you know."

A little concerned about his lover's lingering soreness, Reno stepped past the shower to the over large tub and spun the taps to fill it with steaming hot water. He turned to smile at Cloud and hold out a hand in invitation while his eyes glowed with warmth.

"Coming?"

A drink or many actually sounded good. At the mention of alcohol he did start to crave the relaxing qualities of it.

"Sounds great," he said softly, taking the offered hand and stepping in with Reno. Despite the tub's large size, Cloud wanted to remain close to Reno. He settled down against him. "Your chest..." He remembered. "Are you sure you're okay?" The water was hot and relaxing but on an open wound it had to be uncomfortable.

"My chest is fine. Well, maybe not fine, but it's not bothering me too much."

Reno didn't bother to mention that he had suffered worse, like a huge Buster sword straight through his body wielded by a supremely pissed blond. He didn't see any point in bringing up any bad memories.

Reno moved Cloud to sit between his legs and soaped a cloth to drag it in a lazy exploration over his lover's chest and neck. He loved the way Cloud seemed to fit against him perfectly. Reno cupped Cloud's chin to tilt his head back for a kiss while his other hand ran the cloth over a taut abdomen and muscled thighs.

"I'm sorry you're so sore. You know that I wouldn't really hurt you on purpose, don't you?"

"If I blame anyone it will be me," Cloud said softly, tilting his chin for another kiss. "It felt good, Reno." He turned sideways in those arms he felt so safe in, tangling one leg with Reno's. "So I pushed for more." He loved the soapy hands sliding over his body.

"But I don't mind being sore. It reminds me of how wonderful you were," he laid his head on Reno's shoulder. The very thought of it made him feel hot in the face. That he enjoyed that kind of thing... "You..." He looked at Reno. "You liked it too, didn't you?"

"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a huge turn on for me to have you submit to me," Reno said, carefully choosing his words. "I just can't help feeling a bit guilty after watching you flinch from my touch this morning." He pressed delicate kisses all over Cloud's face. "I like being dominant, but I love you. You're also mine to protect, even from me, if need be."

Reno continued with leisurely washing his lover, using a small cup to wet his hair then massaging shampoo into the thick, soft mass.

"Anything you want is yours, but if it ever becomes too much, you only have to say so. We clear on that?"

"Of course," Cloud nodded. Lowering himself into the water he leaned his head back to be rinsed. Closing his eyes he let the sensation of Reno's fingers on his scalp captivate him, causing him to shiver in pleasure.

"I trust you more than myself," he said as he sat back up. "I never thought I could trust another again. Perhaps I should have a safe word. Only that word will really mean stop or no." He blushed. The word's stop and no could be fun if they didn't really mean stop or no.

Reno's answering smile was decidedly wicked. It pleased him very much that Cloud trusted him, but that wasn't going to stop him from teasing his lover. He pulled Cloud closer to settle against his body again while he pressed against his back. Reno let his left hand slide down Cloud's chest and abdomen to find his cock and stroked leisurely. He wasn't going to take Cloud when the blond was still sore, but he had every intention of bringing him off just to feel his lover's body melt with sensation and give himself the pleasure of watching Cloud.

"So," Reno whispered next to Cloud's ear. "What's your safe word going to be?"

Gasping, Cloud squirmed slightly against the firm chest and abdomen supporting him. "Do... do I need one now?" He stammered. Tilting his chin he looked up at Reno, lips parted in lust as his heart rate started to jump and breath become shallow.

"No," Reno chuckled. "You don't need one now." He stroked more firmly, bringing his other hand into play to fondle the balls and caress trembling thighs. "This morning you only have to enjoy. I just want to know what you come up with as a safe word."

That said, Reno took the offering of the soft mouth presented to him. He hummed with pleasure as he flicked his tongue around the dark, sweet recesses and nibbled on that damnably delicious lower lip.

Reaching up and over with one hand, Cloud clutched Reno's shoulder. He arched slightly as those hands brought him desire, love, and religion all on the same plate. He couldn't speak anymore. Could only feel Reno bring him to the edge where it seemed he hovered, poised.

He couldn't close his eyes. He discovered watching Reno as they kissed had to be one of the most beautiful things in life.

Reno kept his movements soft, slow, relentless, drinking in with pleasure the trembling and writhing of his lover. The delicious friction of skin on skin had him nearing to coming himself. Having Cloud watch him with those glowing eyes so close was just as hot.

Reno moaned into Cloud's mouth and held him tighter, rubbing his aching cock against the soft skin of the blonde’s back. So good, just always so fucking damn good!

That had to be one of the strangest and most erotic sensations, feeling his lover's cock rub against his back. He whimpered in the back of his throat. He was ready to lose it. Tensing in his lover's embrace, Cloud gasped and shuddered with wide eyes. When it hit him like a wall he cried out, arching against Reno.

Feeling Cloud arch in his arms, Reno pulled back to watch his lover climax. He continued to stroke sensitized flesh and gazed intently at the blond. It was so beautiful to see, especially with the soft blush that blossomed on Cloud's neck and chest before rising to cover his face. The writhing in his lap brushed Cloud's skin against his cock more firmly and it was all Reno needed to come himself.

He came with a shout that echoed off the walls. Reno squeezed Cloud with rib-cracking strength as spasms raced over his body.

Shaking, Cloud clutched at Reno's arms as he came down from his orgasm. Prying the bone crushing embrace loose, he went limp and panted for breath. Turning his head he nuzzled into Reno's neck with soft moans.

"Won-wonderful," he stammered his voice hoarse and breathy. Lifting his chin he parted his lips and kissed his lover's jaw.

"Yes, you are wonderful," Reno agreed with a gasp. Cloud's lips on his jaw took away his just recovered breath. Reno sprawled bonelessly against the side of the tub and closed his eyes in pleasure. "Hmm. More."

Pulling the plug on the drain with his toes, Cloud turned to face Reno. As the water gurgled down the drain he lazily kissed and sucked on the redhead's neck. He felt the cold of air and slippery residue of soapy bubbles making his thighs feel slick against Reno's and it made him moan into Reno's ear.

Turning around again he turned the shower on to rinse them off. As the hot water sprinkled down on them he returned his tongue to Reno's ear.

"Ah!" Reno clenched his hands into fists to keep them away from Cloud. He didn't want to do anything that would discourage his lover. He figured he better lay back and enjoy Cloud's ministrations rather than give in to the growing urge to thrust himself hard and deep into the still tender blond. "All yours today, baby. Meant that."

Oh! Cloud's tongue in his ear reminded him of his lover's talented mouth on his cock while he sat at his own desk, and Reno could feel himself hardening again. It was amusing to the Turk that he had been in a near constant state of arousal since bringing Cloud home with him. He hoped their libido didn't kill or cripple them.

"We should go for that ride," Cloud breathed into Reno's ear. But he didn't show any signs of stopping. Sensing Reno's returning erection he pressed their groins together and began to grind against him slowly as his tongue probed the sensitive folds of his ear.

"One more time," he relented to himself with a breathy sound. "Then a ride." Probing his ear one more time he then pulled back to look down at his lover's chest. That wet bandage had to go. Gently prying it off, he set it aside and eyed the tender flesh around the pink wound.

Reno followed the direction of his lover's gaze and eyed the wound himself. No, it wasn't pretty, but it was well on the way to healing.

"Forget about it," Reno said and cupped a hand behind Cloud's head to urge him back towards his bared neck. "Make me forget about it, too."

Reno splayed his other hand on Cloud's lower back and slowly ground their cocks together.

It took a moment to forget the mental images that were forcing their way into his head. So he forced himself to concentrate on the smooth flesh he was kissing and licking, made smoother from being wet.

Finding the throbbing pulse with his lips, Cloud pressed a loving kiss there. He brought his hands up to Reno's shoulders for leverage and pushed his hips down, rolling them against Reno with a moan in the man's ear. His tongue flicked out to tease and excite the sensitive folds of flesh there while he dragged his nails down those strong arms.

Reno tossed his head back with a gasp, the not quite pain of Cloud's nails spiking his desire. His ears were very sensitive too, and the minx, without a doubt, knew it. The redhead could feel his resolve slipping. His hands circled Cloud's wet back and crept downwards ever closer to where he wanted to be.

"Cloud," Reno managed to croak. "If we don't stop you won't be able to sit on your bike." He broke off to taste those wonderful tormenting lips and mumbled the rest into his lover's mouth. "Mmmm, better idea." Reno lay down flat in the now drained tub. "Sit on my chest with your knees spread over my shoulders and cross your arms behind your back."

Cloud wanted to straddle Reno's hips, hell with the pain it would make worse. But he knew he wouldn't be able to stand, much less ride his bike if he did. So he parted his knees and he sat on Reno's chest. Looking down at Reno curiously he crossed his arms behind him, wondering why he had to do that.

"That's right, baby," Reno crooned, his eyes glowing with pleasure and mischief. "Just like that."

He scooted down a little more and smiled wickedly before opening his mouth to let his tongue trace up the underside of Cloud's cock.

"You can move if you need to, but keep your arms behind your back."

Reno kept his eyes on Cloud's face as he slowly swallowed hard flesh. When his nose met wet curls he pulled off even more slowly and deliberately let a sharp tooth graze his lover lightly.

He wanted to grab something, to hold on. He felt like he would fall over or fly away if he didn't. Reno's mouth was both talented and vicious.

Cloud arched back and gasped out loudly when he felt the sharp tooth painstakingly marking a teasing path up his throbbing erection. That was just cruel. Shuddering as he felt it slip off his crown he looked down at Reno with wide eyes, cheeks flushed pink and lips parted.

Reno smiled at the expression on Cloud's face. Every horrid minute of even the worst shitty day would be worth enduring if he could only come home and see Cloud look at him like that.

"I think you like that, little lover. Are you game for more?"

Reno took Cloud back into his mouth while he waited for an answer. He swallowed several times, letting the muscles in his throat do much of the work for him. Reno stroked himself as he worked Cloud and hummed in pleasure around his mouthful. The whole time he watched Cloud's face.

The last word he was barely able to speak was a throaty "yes". Toes curling, Cloud couldn't help the whimpers and moans and strange noises coming from his parted lips.

Nearing his climax, Cloud arched back and dropped his hands. Grabbing Reno's arms behind him he held on as his mind reeled.

Feeling Cloud's hands on him, Reno grinned wickedly and immediately let Cloud slip from his mouth.

"Uh oh, you let your hands drop," Reno said, making sure his lips brushed against the head of Cloud's cock with each word.

It took a moment for Cloud to realize what just happened. Whimpering, he looked down at Reno pleadingly. "Please..." He begged. Trembling, he put his arms back where he was told.

"Very good," Reno crooned. "Such a good, obedient lover you can be."

He sucked the head of Cloud's cock back into his mouth to suck vigorously and mercilessly, working his lover fast and hard. Reno's other hand slipped around to the cleft of Cloud's ass and traced delicate, teasing circles against the tender flesh. Reno felt the tremors in the blonde’s body knew it wouldn't be much longer before he got to see Cloud's face in ecstasy.

Cloud gripped his own elbows tight to keep his hands behind his back. He wanted to touch Reno so bad. Moaning, he bit his lower lip, making it a bright red as he spiraled to his orgasm. When it ripped through him, he locked his wide eyes on Reno's.

Drained, he was left trembling and gasping. "Want- want to touch you," he stammered breathlessly.

Reno swallowed down everything Cloud had to give and watched, transfixed, as orgasm ripped through his lover. So good, so beautiful, so damn hot. When he finally let Cloud's spent cock slip from his mouth Reno was so hard himself that it was almost painful.

"Touch me, then," Reno said, his words blurred by a needy moan. "I want you to."

Shaking, Cloud scooted back enough that he could tease his lover. He pushed his buttocks against his lover's cock as he took a moment to rest, hands on Reno's shoulders and a sly look in his eye. He almost wanted to push Reno to the edge, make his lover take him by force again... almost. Before he could make that happen he moved himself between Reno's legs.

Looking up at Reno, he ran his tongue the entire length from base to crown in a luxurious and slow sweep while one hand held it firm.

Reno trembled with desire at the brush of Cloud's smooth skin against his cock. He had to force himself to keep from plunging in deep and hard. It made his hands shake from barely leashed violence. He would not hurt his lover!

His skin was so sensitized that just the feel of Cloud's hot tongue wrung a shout from him that echoed off the tiles. His hands moved without thought to tightly grip wet, blond hair, and Reno's body writhed in pleasurable torment.

He loved the passionate responses he could milk from his lover when he tasted him. And he tasted like the sweetest addiction. With a short cry as his hair was grabbed Cloud jerked his head. Dropping his hand from the hot flesh he dipped his head and bit Reno's thigh sharply.

Reno yelped at the sharp bite and yanked on Cloud's hair again to jerk his head upright. The light in his eyes grew brighter and sharper as fury warred with passion. He didn't relinquish his hold on Cloud.

"What was that for?" Reno growled.

His eyes squeezed shut at the sharp pain for a moment. When he opened them he inhaled a shallow breath. "Because that hurts," his voice pleaded. Though it was somewhat a nice pain when he saw the look in Reno's eyes, it also made it hard to focus on what he was doing to Reno.

"Hurts? I...damn." Reno let go of Cloud's hair to slump back into the tub and cover his eyes with one arm. "I'm sorry, Cloud."

He raised himself on an elbow to gently touch his lover's cheek.

"Didn't mean to hurt you. You just get me so worked up." Reno dropped his hand to rub at the stinging bite. "We can just get out now if you want." He sighed in regret over letting his darker impulses come to the fore.

Pushing Reno's hand away, Cloud lowered his head and gently licked his lover's thigh where he had bitten. "I want to taste you," he whimpered. He gripped Reno's forearm with one hand. Kissing Reno's thigh in apology he then licked his lover's crown. Hesitantly he brought his other hand up to stroke hot flesh.

Reno tensed in Cloud's grip. He couldn't help it. It went completely against his training and his very nature to allow himself to be restrained even in such a small way. The urge to pull away was strong, but after his rough use of Cloud the night before Reno felt that he owed his lover something. Then it ceased to matter. Just the touch of Cloud's tongue was enough to derail his train of thought.

"Cloud..." Reno groaned. "I...need more."

"Hold my hand," Cloud purred, his hand slipping down Reno's arm. Kissing Reno's tip with gentle pecks he looked up at Reno. "Tell me what you need," he whispered and then he sucked his cock into his mouth with a moan. He knew Reno was aching hard so he sucked as he bobbed his head, his hand pumping the base.

Reno clutched Cloud's hand like a lifeline, wrapping his other hand around to hold it with both. His hips rocked in time with Cloud's movements.

"A little, little faster, please baby," Reno panted. "Need you. Feel like I'm, ah!, going to explode."

Cloud obeyed immediately, moving his mouth and hand faster. He squeezed Reno's hand, feeling his lover spiral upwards towards his climax. Cloud moaned as he tasted precum coat his tongue. He could never tire of this. The soft feel of flesh, the firm and hard feel of cock, the salty taste of flesh and bitter taste of his lover's seed, the sounds Reno uttered... if he wasn't already spent Cloud knew he'd have a raging erection already.

It was all too much. The fevered pace he had just about begged for, the soft fall of water from the showerhead onto his skin, the wet silk of Cloud's hair brushing his groin, warm soft hands lightly marked by sword calluses, hot, tight suction and twisting tongue, the continuing throb of the bite and the deeper ache of prolonged hardness while he had teased and pleased his lover. It all combined to propel Reno towards a climax of amazing strength.

Reno curled in then, still holding desperately to Cloud's hand, arched backwards with a thump of his head against the tub to go completely rigid as waves of pleasure drowned him. The force of it stole his voice and he could only gasp and shiver while he came sheathed by his lover's mouth.

This had to be the most beautiful and endearing thing Cloud had heard and seen in his life. He held tightly to Reno's hand and drank all he had to offer. Slurping, he accidentally let a little seed dribble onto his chin when he heard his lover's head thump back onto the hard tub.

He didn't slow his sucking until he felt Reno start to soften. He then gently bathed his cock with his tongue until he slipped from his lips. Cleaning him with a few last sweeps from his tongue, Cloud glanced up at his lover's face. He loved seeing Reno like this.

Wrung out, strung out and oh so satiated, Reno tugged weakly on Cloud's hand to pull his lover up his body.

"That was...that was fucking incredible," Reno rasped. He licked the dribble off Cloud's chin and shivered at the taste of himself. After a light press of lips he sprawled in the tub completely boneless. "I don't think I could move now even if Rufus stood in the door with Sephiroth holding his neck."

The hot water finally gave out and Reno shivered again as drops chilled his skin where Cloud wasn't draped over him. He was cold, sore and weak as hell, but Reno's eyes closed and a faint smile curved his lips.

Cloud had to admit he liked having that power over his lover; to bring him to such an exhausted state by pleasuring him that way. He watched him for several long moments before the cold water began to chill him too much. Annoyed, he sat up to turn it off and grabbed a towel over the lip of the tub.

But Reno looked too relaxed and inviting to move just yet. Draping the towel over his shoulders he nestled down onto Reno again, nuzzling his neck with soft kisses. "If this happens every time we bathe, we'll never really ever be clean," his voice was soft and almost groggy. He tried not to shiver; he wanted to stay like this a little longer.

A snorting chuckle came from Reno at Cloud's words. He managed to make his arms move enough to wrap them around his lover and snuggle him close.

"We'd also be wrinkled as all hell. You're pretty much gorgeous in anything and especially nothing, but I don't think even you could work the prune look."

Reno shifted a little in annoyance. The cold tub was making his back ache and he couldn't figure out why his head hurt so much until he remembered smacking it when he came.

"Still up to going for a ride? We still have a day to enjoy if we can get outta here."
