Water dance
Explosion of mind-blowing pleasure… Mutual satisfaction flooding all their senses… Curtain of sweet daze on unusually empty minds… Inseparably connected and indescribably happy… There was no wickedness, no cruelty, which could reach them.
Neither of the two lovers wanted to leave that unreal, distant world, in which they ended up after being thrown to the highest peak of delight. That feeling was such a soothing balm on their tormented souls…
But the persistent reality did not let them escape from its clutches for long. Slowly, but inevitably, their minds descended from those bright heights, being pulled back down, right onto the shore of one glittering lake in the middle of wilderness…
*
Kame found himself in a warm, loving prison of Jin´s body. He felt the older one´s hot breath on his neck, the black hair tickled his nose and the firm fingers were still holding his buttocks in a quite possessive manner. But his most intense perception was coming from the intimate connection between their legs…
A good half of Jin´s sexiest body part was remaining inside of him and the older one was obviously not willing to move away anytime soon. Enjoying that shivering sensation, Kame smiled and hid his face into half-dry hair of his boyfriend. Despite certain discomfort, having Jin´s warmth and heartbeat so close made Kame feel blessed…
The soft skin warmed up by the sun was sticky with sweat after the hot session, yet still clean and fresh thanks to the waterfall shower… Jin took a deep inhale of the sexy scent of that young man under him, who had just surrendered to him fully. Listening to the gradually slowing breathing and feeling the small chest rising along with it, filled Jin up with something what he hadn´t felt for a long time - with peace.
Kazuya´s arms were closely circled around his torso, as if the younger one feared that he would leave. But Jin had no intention to do something like that. He would have to be crazy to abandon that just recently pulsating hot cave, which pulled him up to heaven…
Jin placed a soft, butterfly kiss on Kame´s neck, directly on the spot, where the younger´s blood was pulsating. Then he approached his sweet lover´s ear: “I love you,” he whispered tenderly.
He just felt like he needed to say it again. Not in anger, but with that indescribable warm feeling in his heart.
Kazuya let out a soft, happy sigh. His hands moved, soothed Jin´s back up to the shoulders and further, burying fingers into his hair in a loving gesture.
The older one raised his head a bit, so that he could see Kame´s eyes and he looked to them for a while, searching for what scared and also angered him before… But at least for that moment, anything negative was gone. Not only Kazuya´s lips were spread in a smile, also his now almost goldish look was overfilled with joy.
Kame repaid his look, disentangled one of his hands from Jin´s hair and caressed the older one´s temple, cheek and then also lips.
“How did I deserve you?” he breathed out quietly.
“Since I ask myself the same question,” Jin reacted in a hoarse voice, leaning closer again, “I think the reply doesn´t matter.”
At first, their kiss was slow and gentle, but then Jin couldn´t resist and put more pressure into it, urging on Kame´s lips, which responded by letting him through willingly. He didn´t realize that he started moving, rubbing skin to skin eagerly, until Kazuya shifted under him restlessly and that made him stop. They were in quite a delicate position and just one look on Kame´s face told Jin that something was wrong.
The older one pushed himself up on both hands, sliding out from Kame completely, and moved to the side.
“What is it, Kazu?”
“My back…” Kame reacted, trying to suppress the pain in his voice, but he succeeded only partially.
Jin got to his knees right away: “Let me see,” he reached for the younger one´s hands and helped him to sit up carefully. He stiffened when he got to see the bruised skin and torn scabs, some even bleeding. “Why didn´t you say something?” he asked horrified, his throat tightening in anxiety. “I was… I was hurting you…”
To Jin´s surprise, Kame chuckled: “I assure you that it has started to ache only now, Jin. I was too preoccupied with… you to notice anything.”
Jin was not sure if he should have felt proud or guilty and unknowingly, he started looking for any other consequence of their loving on the younger´s body. Kame noticed it and hugged him around the neck.
“It´s not so bad, really,” he assured his worried lover. “It just needs to be cleaned up again. And your leg too, obviously…”
Jin glanced at his right thigh and remained staring at it in disbelief - the bandage was gone, revealing only a half-healed ugly hole. Only now, he realized that his leg was kind of numb and the surroundings of the wound was tingling and pinching at the same time.
“Well… We forgot ourselves a little, it seems…” he assumed sheepishly.
Kazuya moved closer to him, still hugging Jin firmly: “Do you want to forget again?” he whispered, trying to drive away unnecessary worries.
Jin´s smile spoke for itself: “Under one condition,” he reacted in a deep voice, circling a hand around Kame´s waist. “This time, you will let me take you right under that waterfall…”
Even though they had just had the hottest sex of their relationship, the younger one´s face blushed: “That sounds incredibly tempting, but…”
“But…?” Jin wondered with a mocking smile.
Kame sighed: “I think we should stick onto something less strenuous for now…”
“Why?”
“Well, try to get up for the start…”
*
Jin tried, and only then he fully realized that Kame was right. His wounded leg trembled heavily and he felt quite dizzy. Also Kame was dealing with pain, as he was slouching and biting his lower lip to suppress the curses. It was clear that for the moment, their bodies had more than enough of unplanned exercise and needed to rest a bit.
Supporting each other, they put on their underpants, which didn´t go without some teasing groping. Then they gathered also the rest of clothes and headed towards their encampment, leaving the swashing waterfall behind them…
By the time they got back to their patiently waiting animal companions, Jin was limping heavily, but no matter what he didn´t let the chance of washing Kame´s back in calmer water of the lake to slip away. And the younger one didn´t exactly complain, when Jin started to massage his shoulders gently, before proceeding to the careful cleaning.
Not surprisingly, they ended up kissing passionately, but only until Jin slipped on some stone and they both fell into the water. Coughing and laughing at the same time, they helped each other back to the shore, being watched by both Kuro and Ukushi in a somewhat tolerant way.
Finally behaving responsibly, at least for a while, Kame bandaged Jin´s thigh again and then he let the older one to do the same with the worst wounds on his back. And after the modest meal consisting of beans, some dry beef and a few potatoes baked in hot coals they finally followed Liwan´s orders to rest…
*
Kame took a liking to the hidden paradise from the moment they had arrived. Now, as he feasted his eyes on the peaceful view, resting in the arms of his handsome lover, he knew that it would have a special meaning for him forever.
He shifted a little between Jin´s long legs, attaching himself even closer to the chest behind him, even if it was already impossible and he closed his eyes. With the birds singing above them and the waterfalls humming nearby, comparing it with hours of physical and mental torture in Laporte quarry, it felt almost too good to be real. It was a special, rare moment and he was determined to savor it...
Jin´s arms, so far locked around Kame´s chest, slipped lower, as the older one let them rest on his stomach and his breath tickled Kame´s ear, when he spoke: “I´d advise you not to provoke me in this position much or we´ll end up in the water again.”
Kame smiled: “I wouldn´t complain about it,” he assumed innocently.
Right after that response, his space somewhat shrunk, as the long thighs closed around him more tightly. Jin´s lips approached even closer and kissed his earlobe, before biting it gently: “Teaser…”
“You´re the one to talk…” Kame forced through his throat, as the warmness from the provocative embrace flooded him.
He felt as Jin smiled against his skin. Then they both fell silent for a while.
“I´d like to stay here longer…” Kame sighed then.
“Yeah… Me too… Reality is a bitch.”
Another short silence was interrupted only by the sound of falling water. Then Kame opened his mouth again: “Speaking of reality…”
“Can´t we leave it for tomorrow?” Jin interrupted him immediately.
The younger one let go of a deep breath, not covering his relief. He felt it the same. They finally got to talk the things out and there wasn´t any issue to deal with right now, so they deserved to enjoy that rare opportunity of being alone and at peace fully. The reality stuff could wait.
He sunk into Jin´s embrace completely: “We can…”
“Good…” the older one reacted and seemed to ponder something for a while, before he continued. “I need you to promise me something,” he whispered into Kame´s ear again.
Jin´s voice was serious and Kame was not very willing to be pulled off his satisfied and calm state of mind, but still, there was nothing what he wouldn´t do for the older one: “What is it?”
“Don´t you ever think again that you´re not good enough for me…”
Hearing the request, Kame stiffened and opened his eyes. Exactly that was what he thought the day before…
“Not ever again,” Jin repeated persistently, when he didn´t reply. “Do you understand?”
The younger one pushed himself away from the firm embrace, but only so that he could turn to face Jin and looked him in the eyes.
“I do,” he breathed out softly, before leaning closer and attaching to those so tempting full lips, even though they were tensely distorted. He didn´t have to wait long for the enthusiastic reaction of his lover…
Engulfed in the playful game of tongues and with their hearts beating in the same rhythm, once again, they both ceased to be aware of their surroundings, because nothing else mattered to them…
***
When the next morning brightened up the small hidden camp, the black stallion and the white mare were fully awake, playing some sniffing-snorting game, which had an understandable meaning only for them. They kept stomping the grass under their hooves lively and they were apparently all ready to set off to another adventure. Unlike their masters, who seemed deliberately ignoring the rising sun.
Kame awoke a while ago, but he didn´t feel like getting up yet and kept lying on his side. Jin was attached to his back, hugging him with one arm in a wealthy gesture and the younger one didn´t want to wake him up. Not to mention that he felt too good in that position…
He heard their dear animals making some impatient noises and he realized that they should make up to them for the lack of attention later… Jin murmured something from his sleep and buried his nose into Kame´s hair. He couldn´t help but smile on that instinctive gesture, but only until the older one´s hand slipped from his chest lower, down across the stomach, slowly heading even lower. Then Kame started to feel too warm, especially when he noticed a suspicious twitching in the place where Jin´s crotch was.
Surprised, he turned his head to check on the older one and Jin still seemed to be sound asleep. But when he tried to pull away, the older one strengthened his grip.
Kame gulped down heavily, when he realized that Jin was really hard… Not that it would make him feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, but still, he knew that he should escape from it, till there was time to do it. Jin was not exactly gentle the previous day and no matter how much Kame would love to let the older one take him again, he didn´t feel like dealing with it right away, with his hole tingling and still aching a little.
Carefully, but swiftly, he pushed the possessive arm away and slipped from under the blanket. Getting up on his feet, he straightened his back quite relieved. They slept for too long and it was right about time to get up anyway. He heard how Jin rolled on his back and huffed unsatisfied.
“Come… back… here…” there came a request in a husky voice.
Kame glanced at his boyfriend carefully, getting exactly that dark, narrow look he had expected: “I think not…” he murmured. “We need to get ready and we overslept.”
The older one stared at him for a while, before he sat up suddenly, the disheveled hair all around his head: “Who cares?” he snapped and reached for Kame quickly, but the younger one was faster and stepped back.
“Get up, love, or you´ll miss breakfast,” Kame winked and fully being aware of being a coward, he headed to the lake. Some cold water seemed to be a perfect cure for his heated body… And in the end, Jin realized the same. Even though it took him so long that Kame had to threaten him with water shower right in the middle of his shelter from blankets…
*
They gave those few hours of free time left to their faithful animals. And it was really about time, since both Kuro and Ukushi played offended horses at first, refusing to obey, but it didn´t take long to persuade them. Kame took his mare to the lake first, and then also the proud stallion allowed Jin to lead him into the pure water. They agreed that their animal companions deserved some proper cleansing as well.
Jin almost forgot how amazing it felt, to be one with his horse, holding onto his back and mane without a saddle, as the stallion swam excitedly. They had rarely a chance to do something like that and he appreciated it all the more because of that.
Kame apparently enjoyed their bath exactly as much, naturally merging with Ukushi´s movements. His expression was happy and bright, when they made circles around each other in the middle of the lake flooded by the sun, almost as if they were dancing in the water. And since they both left their shirts on the shore, Jin could also enjoy the view of the small nipples and flat stomach sprinkled with the drops of water…
Probably noticing his attention, Kame suddenly leant down and splashed some water right into Jin´s face, laughing like a kid, when the older one almost slipped down from Kuro´s back in surprise. But he gathered himself quickly and hit the water surface with all strength he got, catching Kame unprepared for the counter-attack. Their water battle didn´t take long though.
As if they agreed on it in advance, Kuro and Ukushi made a few sharp movements to the sides, kicking their legs under the water violently and literally shook both masters off their backs. Then they headed towards the shore all dignified, while the two youngsters were spitting water in the middle of the lake and the following burst of laughter resonated between the high rocks with a happy echo…
*
It took them twice as long as usually to pack up all their stuff and get ready for another journey, not to mention just another rebinding of their wounds. One day which they spent together in the small paradise was far from being enough and neither of them wanted to leave it so soon. But despite being short, that time somehow healed their souls, which carried so many scars already. It was about to turn into a strong, happy memory, which they would carry in their hearts from that moment on, and it made them feel stronger and connected to the other…
“How about we make a trip here someday again?” Jin suggested, holding Kuro´s reins, with his look focused on the humming waters on the opposite side of the beautiful lake.
Kame nodded right away: “If there is a chance…”
“There will be,” the older one stated firmly. “I want it as my birthday gift.”
“Oh, really? And are there any special requests included?” Kame asked mockingly.
Jin looked at him with a challenge in his eyes: “I don´t have to think about that long… You. Naked. Under the waterfall,” he announced in a deep voice.
Kame smiled in a very pleasant way: “Ah, of course, your wish will be granted,” he promised. “In July, then, correct? It surprises me that you want to wait for so long…” he added already on his leave, leading Ukushi towards the path down between the rocks.
Jin stared at Kame´s back almost terrified: “No, no, no… Wait! I didn´t think it like that!” he called, rushing after the younger one. “Wait! Kame!”
*
Liwan didn´t exaggerate when he claimed that their meeting point was not too far away.
First, they had to deal with the steep descent to the narrow valley, passing a few pitch-black entrances to the natural caves on the way, until they came across the river. Then they followed its flow down to the south west and it didn´t take long until they noticed the undeniable proof of the human civilization - the smoke of a few fires clearly visible against the blue sky.
The young Riders stopped their horses on the edge of the slope above not very far-reaching canyon, their eyes focused on the asymmetric cluster of hardly recognizable human dwellings, which didn´t exactly fit into the scenery.
“One more month and we´ll get to know Colorado better than Montana…” Jin assumed, pushing his hat back, so that he could have a better view of the mountain valley.
Noticing the not exactly happy tone of his lover´s voice, Kame looked at Jin curiously.
They had been through quite rough times ever since they joined the Black Riders, that much was true. But still, Colorado was a breath-taking country with all its natural beauty, even though it could be quite tough, too. And considering the point where they were now, all that travelling and problems seemed to be worth of it. At least, Kame wanted to believe so… And he also felt that it might be the time to say goodbye to this part of United States and go back home. The question was, if Jin´s thoughts were similar to his or not, considering his relationship with Leo…
Jin noticed the younger one´s gaze: “What is it?”
But Kame just smiled and shook his head. He didn´t want to spoil the atmosphere, not yet: “Nothing… Can we go? The others are probably already waiting for us.”
The older one kept silent for a while, watching Kame with a little strange look.
“Not yet,” he denied then and reached for Ukushi´s reins, pulling them gently out from Kame´s clasp to make the animal got closer to Kuro. “Not before I do this…” leaning forward, Jin overcame the space between them and attached to Kame´s lips.
Meeting him willingly, Kame sneaked with one of his hands around the older one´s neck, giving into the tickling sensation happily. Jin´s kissing turned urgent, and his hand let Ukushi´s reins go so that he could place it on the younger´s thigh. Kame put his tongue into the game first, licking Jin´s lips provocatively and the older one reacted to that right away, usurping that wet hot flesh and making Kame sigh…
Ukushi and Kuro moved, separating them from each other so suddenly, that they both almost fell down the saddles.
“What the…!” Jin snapped unpleasantly surprised, but shut up right away, when Kuro moved with his big head and he looked down the slope towards the road under it.
“Ah, it´s them…” Kame recognized the small group of three riders first.
“Yeah, they´re…” Jin confirmed kind of gloomily and glanced at the younger one. Their interrupted kissing left Kame´s taste on his tongue and he somewhat disliked that unfinished feeling...
Those three hadn´t noticed them up there yet, at least it didn’t seem so, as they continued riding in the direction of the small colony.
We will catch with them up soon, Jin realized frowning. Too soon, damn it.
Who knew when he would be all alone with Kazuya again… Just imagining that they would have to hold back once more, made him upset. He was not sure from where that burning desire for the younger one came, since they did their best to release that sexual tension the day before, but he didn´t care.
“Get down,” Jin stated more harshly than he had intended and slipped down the saddle as the first.
“What?” Kame gasped surprised, when the older one took and pulled his hand to make him move faster.
Once also the younger one was safely on his two feet, Jin dragged him into the shadow of nearest tall conifers, out of sight of anyone around.
“Jin, what the hell are you doing?” Kame staggered behind him. “We could call after them, I´m sure that…”
The rest of his words were stopped from being said by the demanding lips, as Jin pressed Kame against the nearest tree bole and stole his breath.
Kame was a little surprised by the urgency of his boyfriend, but that didn´t mean that his heart would not start beating faster when Jin´s hand slipped down to his belt and started unclasping it hastily, while still kissing him.
When the older one let him breathe for a while, Kame realized that he already managed to slip his hands under Jin´s shirt and his legs were shaking a little in expectation of what that fire in Jin´s eyes meant.
“I assume you don´t need me under that waterfall after all…” he said shakily, as Jin pulled Kame´s trousers off the way impatiently.
“No,” the older one confirmed hoarsely, unbuttoning his own trousers too. “Right here will do…”
It was hard for Kame to subdue the moans of pleasure, as Jin kept plunging inside of him in a rushed, passionate way, from behind, so hard that Kame had to hold on the tree firmly, the hard bark scratching his palms. He knew he would feel this sudden, hot session of theirs long after, which would not make riding any pleasure, but at that moment, when he was about to lose his senses, he couldn´t care less… He would happily surrender to Jin over and over again, even though certain part of him would definitely had some objections against something like that. He loved everything what Jin was doing to him too much…
Being inside of Kazuya, feeling the walls of his hot tight ass around his aroused shaft, it was so damn incredible every time, that it felt like a dream. But the slim body shaking in his grip was too real for Jin to be dreaming. He had always felt that strange invisible connection to the younger one and when they merge into one body while having sex, that feeling was multiplied a hundred times. Jin almost thought that he would go crazy from pleasure every time when Kazuya´s inners tightened around him, as it was so much overwhelming…
Nothing could beat that incredible feeling as they flew up to the peaks of pleasure together. It was always so indescribably awesome. Being flooded with those feelings, everything else ceased to exist for the two. There was nobody else than the two of them, connected with love. The attraction they felt for the other was too tempting to resist doing it again and again. And so they did, no matter circumstances, no matter consequences…
***
Defiance couldn´t be called a city, or a town, not even a village. Most of Indian reservations were of a bigger size than the camp of tents and poor shelters located directly at the confluence of two rivers. It was quite surprising that despite the small numbers of permanent inhabitants, it had two saloons and even a brothel, but on the other side, there was not a single piece of civilization in the Wild West, which would not have had that kind of establishments. It was said that a certain Isaac Cooper had big plans for the locality, since many hot springs had been recently found around. But at the moment, when two young men entered the camp, that dream was far from being realistic.
After Ryo evaluated the composition of people they passed, he understood why their new Indian friend wanted to stay out of it and waited for them outside the camp borders, at the river bank. Gunslingers, gamblers and prostitutes were mostly among them. Lucky for them they had a successful hunt, so they didn´t need many things to supply themselves. And no matter how much Koki pleaded, he didn´t let him slip into one of those dirty dives which they dared to call saloons and dragged him away right after they made a bit of shopping at the local grocery.
They got back to Liwan just in time, as the Indian was already looking out for the two riders, who appeared on the road towards Defiance from the same direction, from which they had arrived just an hour ago. The black stallion and white mare gave out their identity long in advance.
“Well, that´s a relief,” Ryo commented their approaching friends, as he jumped down his horse. “They didn´t drown each other in that lake…”
Koki chuckled: “I bet they were not far away from that…”
Liwan didn´t comment their mockery and kept watching their two lovebirds’ arrival with the hands crossed on his chest.
“Hey, guys!” Koki waved at the two vigorously, as if Jin or Kame could ever miss to notice his bright hair. Both noble animals stepped away from the narrow road by that time and soon they joined them at the river.
“You didn´t have to rush so much!” Koki continued his welcome. “I could grab a beer or two meanwhile.”
“I doubt that slush, which they would have given you there, could be called beer,” Ryo snorted scornfully.
“You would be amazed how wonderfully the liquids taste when you´re thirsty!” the blonde once countered.
Ryo pointed at the sparkling hectoliters of water: “You´ve got the whole river here then.”
Koki pouted and Jin, getting down his horse swiftly, laughed amusedly: “Absolutely no change here, I see.”
The black-haired Rider shrugged and Koki made some very vulgar gesture, but the Indian´s expression was serious, as he observed the younger of the two dismounting his beautiful mare much more carefully, seeming to be quite relived that he made it.
“Did you get anything good?” Jin wondered peeking inside the bag attached to Ryo´s saddle.
“I definitely recommend water; nothing from that store seemed to be drinkable,” the Rider announced quite sadly.
Jin put on a disappointed face, but reached for the flask of water Ryo thrusted under his nose nevertheless: “Water… Thank you very much,” he snorted.
Then, Liwan finally spoke as well: “Did you rest properly?” he asked in such an intentionally doubtful tone that Kame froze in the middle of step and Jin choked on the water.
The faces of both guys turned into tomato color, which was understandable in Jin´s case, since he almost coughed his lungs out, while Ryo was trying to help him by thumping him on the back, but not so clear in case of Kame, who just stood there, flushing to the roots of his hair.
“We…” Kame started hesitantly.
“I guess not,” Liwan interrupted him mercilessly. “But since it helped you two anyway…” he made a waving gesture, as if he was leaving the rest up to Manitou.
In that moment, Koki was choking on laughter, trying to hide behind his horse unsuccessfully and Kame was so red, that Ryo started to be worried for his health.
Jin finally stopped coughing and stared at the Indian: “You… You…” he wheezed.
“Yes, Akanishi?” Liwan turned to him with a curious expression. “Anything you would like to tell me?”
Jin opened his mouth and then closed it again.
“I thought so,” Liwan nodded, not impressed. “Well, since we are all here now, we can set off,” he stated and headed to his horse.
Kame seemed to turn mute and Jin was thunderstruck. When the older one finally tore his eyes of the Indian, he looked at Ryo. The black-haired Rider tried really hard not to start laughing, but the corners of his lips were twitching no matter the effort.
“Look… I… what do you think that…” Jin stopped talking, seeing that Ryo was really about to lose control.
“Relax, Jin,” Koki´s head popped up from behind his stallion´s body. “You don´t have to provide us with any details…” he grinned mockingly.
The older one´s jaw dropped, while Kame stared at their friends in disbelief. They should have been expecting it, but it was still just too surprising that the Riders took their relationship with such ease.
Liwan was already on the back of his horse, and Koki with Ryo followed his example. Jin and Kame looked at each other baffled. But then, a smile spread on their faces. Maybe that the attitude of their buddies was surprising, but at the same time relieving and definitely worth bearing with a few teasing remarks on their upcoming way to the east…

Water dance
Explosion of mind-blowing pleasure… Mutual satisfaction flooding all their senses… Curtain of sweet daze on unusually empty minds… Inseparably connected and indescribably happy… There was no wickedness, no cruelty, which could reach them.
Neither of the two lovers wanted to leave that unreal, distant world, in which they ended up after being thrown to the highest peak of delight. That feeling was such a soothing balm on their tormented souls…
But the persistent reality did not let them escape from its clutches for long. Slowly, but inevitably, their minds descended from those bright heights, being pulled back down, right onto the shore of one glittering lake in the middle of wilderness…
*
Kame found himself in a warm, loving prison of Jin´s body. He felt the older one´s hot breath on his neck, the black hair tickled his nose and the firm fingers were still holding his buttocks in a quite possessive manner. But his most intense perception was coming from the intimate connection between their legs…
A good half of Jin´s sexiest body part was remaining inside of him and the older one was obviously not willing to move away anytime soon. Enjoying that shivering sensation, Kame smiled and hid his face into half-dry hair of his boyfriend. Despite certain discomfort, having Jin´s warmth and heartbeat so close made Kame feel blessed…
The soft skin warmed up by the sun was sticky with sweat after the hot session, yet still clean and fresh thanks to the waterfall shower… Jin took a deep inhale of the sexy scent of that young man under him, who had just surrendered to him fully. Listening to the gradually slowing breathing and feeling the small chest rising along with it, filled Jin up with something what he hadn´t felt for a long time - with peace.
Kazuya´s arms were closely circled around his torso, as if the younger one feared that he would leave. But Jin had no intention to do something like that. He would have to be crazy to abandon that just recently pulsating hot cave, which pulled him up to heaven…
Jin placed a soft, butterfly kiss on Kame´s neck, directly on the spot, where the younger´s blood was pulsating. Then he approached his sweet lover´s ear: “I love you,” he whispered tenderly.
He just felt like he needed to say it again. Not in anger, but with that indescribable warm feeling in his heart.
Kazuya let out a soft, happy sigh. His hands moved, soothed Jin´s back up to the shoulders and further, burying fingers into his hair in a loving gesture.
The older one raised his head a bit, so that he could see Kame´s eyes and he looked to them for a while, searching for what scared and also angered him before… But at least for that moment, anything negative was gone. Not only Kazuya´s lips were spread in a smile, also his now almost goldish look was overfilled with joy.
Kame repaid his look, disentangled one of his hands from Jin´s hair and caressed the older one´s temple, cheek and then also lips.
“How did I deserve you?” he breathed out quietly.
“Since I ask myself the same question,” Jin reacted in a hoarse voice, leaning closer again, “I think the reply doesn´t matter.”
At first, their kiss was slow and gentle, but then Jin couldn´t resist and put more pressure into it, urging on Kame´s lips, which responded by letting him through willingly. He didn´t realize that he started moving, rubbing skin to skin eagerly, until Kazuya shifted under him restlessly and that made him stop. They were in quite a delicate position and just one look on Kame´s face told Jin that something was wrong.
The older one pushed himself up on both hands, sliding out from Kame completely, and moved to the side.
“What is it, Kazu?”
“My back…” Kame reacted, trying to suppress the pain in his voice, but he succeeded only partially.
Jin got to his knees right away: “Let me see,” he reached for the younger one´s hands and helped him to sit up carefully. He stiffened when he got to see the bruised skin and torn scabs, some even bleeding. “Why didn´t you say something?” he asked horrified, his throat tightening in anxiety. “I was… I was hurting you…”
To Jin´s surprise, Kame chuckled: “I assure you that it has started to ache only now, Jin. I was too preoccupied with… you to notice anything.”
Jin was not sure if he should have felt proud or guilty and unknowingly, he started looking for any other consequence of their loving on the younger´s body. Kame noticed it and hugged him around the neck.
“It´s not so bad, really,” he assured his worried lover. “It just needs to be cleaned up again. And your leg too, obviously…”
Jin glanced at his right thigh and remained staring at it in disbelief - the bandage was gone, revealing only a half-healed ugly hole. Only now, he realized that his leg was kind of numb and the surroundings of the wound was tingling and pinching at the same time.
“Well… We forgot ourselves a little, it seems…” he assumed sheepishly.
Kazuya moved closer to him, still hugging Jin firmly: “Do you want to forget again?” he whispered, trying to drive away unnecessary worries.
Jin´s smile spoke for itself: “Under one condition,” he reacted in a deep voice, circling a hand around Kame´s waist. “This time, you will let me take you right under that waterfall…”
Even though they had just had the hottest sex of their relationship, the younger one´s face blushed: “That sounds incredibly tempting, but…”
“But…?” Jin wondered with a mocking smile.
Kame sighed: “I think we should stick onto something less strenuous for now…”
“Why?”
“Well, try to get up for the start…”
*
Jin tried, and only then he fully realized that Kame was right. His wounded leg trembled heavily and he felt quite dizzy. Also Kame was dealing with pain, as he was slouching and biting his lower lip to suppress the curses. It was clear that for the moment, their bodies had more than enough of unplanned exercise and needed to rest a bit.
Supporting each other, they put on their underpants, which didn´t go without some teasing groping. Then they gathered also the rest of clothes and headed towards their encampment, leaving the swashing waterfall behind them…
By the time they got back to their patiently waiting animal companions, Jin was limping heavily, but no matter what he didn´t let the chance of washing Kame´s back in calmer water of the lake to slip away. And the younger one didn´t exactly complain, when Jin started to massage his shoulders gently, before proceeding to the careful cleaning.
Not surprisingly, they ended up kissing passionately, but only until Jin slipped on some stone and they both fell into the water. Coughing and laughing at the same time, they helped each other back to the shore, being watched by both Kuro and Ukushi in a somewhat tolerant way.
Finally behaving responsibly, at least for a while, Kame bandaged Jin´s thigh again and then he let the older one to do the same with the worst wounds on his back. And after the modest meal consisting of beans, some dry beef and a few potatoes baked in hot coals they finally followed Liwan´s orders to rest…
*
Kame took a liking to the hidden paradise from the moment they had arrived. Now, as he feasted his eyes on the peaceful view, resting in the arms of his handsome lover, he knew that it would have a special meaning for him forever.
He shifted a little between Jin´s long legs, attaching himself even closer to the chest behind him, even if it was already impossible and he closed his eyes. With the birds singing above them and the waterfalls humming nearby, comparing it with hours of physical and mental torture in Laporte quarry, it felt almost too good to be real. It was a special, rare moment and he was determined to savor it...
Jin´s arms, so far locked around Kame´s chest, slipped lower, as the older one let them rest on his stomach and his breath tickled Kame´s ear, when he spoke: “I´d advise you not to provoke me in this position much or we´ll end up in the water again.”
Kame smiled: “I wouldn´t complain about it,” he assumed innocently.
Right after that response, his space somewhat shrunk, as the long thighs closed around him more tightly. Jin´s lips approached even closer and kissed his earlobe, before biting it gently: “Teaser…”
“You´re the one to talk…” Kame forced through his throat, as the warmness from the provocative embrace flooded him.
He felt as Jin smiled against his skin. Then they both fell silent for a while.
“I´d like to stay here longer…” Kame sighed then.
“Yeah… Me too… Reality is a bitch.”
Another short silence was interrupted only by the sound of falling water. Then Kame opened his mouth again: “Speaking of reality…”
“Can´t we leave it for tomorrow?” Jin interrupted him immediately.
The younger one let go of a deep breath, not covering his relief. He felt it the same. They finally got to talk the things out and there wasn´t any issue to deal with right now, so they deserved to enjoy that rare opportunity of being alone and at peace fully. The reality stuff could wait.
He sunk into Jin´s embrace completely: “We can…”
“Good…” the older one reacted and seemed to ponder something for a while, before he continued. “I need you to promise me something,” he whispered into Kame´s ear again.
Jin´s voice was serious and Kame was not very willing to be pulled off his satisfied and calm state of mind, but still, there was nothing what he wouldn´t do for the older one: “What is it?”
“Don´t you ever think again that you´re not good enough for me…”
Hearing the request, Kame stiffened and opened his eyes. Exactly that was what he thought the day before…
“Not ever again,” Jin repeated persistently, when he didn´t reply. “Do you understand?”
The younger one pushed himself away from the firm embrace, but only so that he could turn to face Jin and looked him in the eyes.
“I do,” he breathed out softly, before leaning closer and attaching to those so tempting full lips, even though they were tensely distorted. He didn´t have to wait long for the enthusiastic reaction of his lover…
Engulfed in the playful game of tongues and with their hearts beating in the same rhythm, once again, they both ceased to be aware of their surroundings, because nothing else mattered to them…
***
When the next morning brightened up the small hidden camp, the black stallion and the white mare were fully awake, playing some sniffing-snorting game, which had an understandable meaning only for them. They kept stomping the grass under their hooves lively and they were apparently all ready to set off to another adventure. Unlike their masters, who seemed deliberately ignoring the rising sun.
Kame awoke a while ago, but he didn´t feel like getting up yet and kept lying on his side. Jin was attached to his back, hugging him with one arm in a wealthy gesture and the younger one didn´t want to wake him up. Not to mention that he felt too good in that position…
He heard their dear animals making some impatient noises and he realized that they should make up to them for the lack of attention later… Jin murmured something from his sleep and buried his nose into Kame´s hair. He couldn´t help but smile on that instinctive gesture, but only until the older one´s hand slipped from his chest lower, down across the stomach, slowly heading even lower. Then Kame started to feel too warm, especially when he noticed a suspicious twitching in the place where Jin´s crotch was.
Surprised, he turned his head to check on the older one and Jin still seemed to be sound asleep. But when he tried to pull away, the older one strengthened his grip.
Kame gulped down heavily, when he realized that Jin was really hard… Not that it would make him feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, but still, he knew that he should escape from it, till there was time to do it. Jin was not exactly gentle the previous day and no matter how much Kame would love to let the older one take him again, he didn´t feel like dealing with it right away, with his hole tingling and still aching a little.
Carefully, but swiftly, he pushed the possessive arm away and slipped from under the blanket. Getting up on his feet, he straightened his back quite relieved. They slept for too long and it was right about time to get up anyway. He heard how Jin rolled on his back and huffed unsatisfied.
“Come… back… here…” there came a request in a husky voice.
Kame glanced at his boyfriend carefully, getting exactly that dark, narrow look he had expected: “I think not…” he murmured. “We need to get ready and we overslept.”
The older one stared at him for a while, before he sat up suddenly, the disheveled hair all around his head: “Who cares?” he snapped and reached for Kame quickly, but the younger one was faster and stepped back.
“Get up, love, or you´ll miss breakfast,” Kame winked and fully being aware of being a coward, he headed to the lake. Some cold water seemed to be a perfect cure for his heated body… And in the end, Jin realized the same. Even though it took him so long that Kame had to threaten him with water shower right in the middle of his shelter from blankets…
*
They gave those few hours of free time left to their faithful animals. And it was really about time, since both Kuro and Ukushi played offended horses at first, refusing to obey, but it didn´t take long to persuade them. Kame took his mare to the lake first, and then also the proud stallion allowed Jin to lead him into the pure water. They agreed that their animal companions deserved some proper cleansing as well.
Jin almost forgot how amazing it felt, to be one with his horse, holding onto his back and mane without a saddle, as the stallion swam excitedly. They had rarely a chance to do something like that and he appreciated it all the more because of that.
Kame apparently enjoyed their bath exactly as much, naturally merging with Ukushi´s movements. His expression was happy and bright, when they made circles around each other in the middle of the lake flooded by the sun, almost as if they were dancing in the water. And since they both left their shirts on the shore, Jin could also enjoy the view of the small nipples and flat stomach sprinkled with the drops of water…
Probably noticing his attention, Kame suddenly leant down and splashed some water right into Jin´s face, laughing like a kid, when the older one almost slipped down from Kuro´s back in surprise. But he gathered himself quickly and hit the water surface with all strength he got, catching Kame unprepared for the counter-attack. Their water battle didn´t take long though.
As if they agreed on it in advance, Kuro and Ukushi made a few sharp movements to the sides, kicking their legs under the water violently and literally shook both masters off their backs. Then they headed towards the shore all dignified, while the two youngsters were spitting water in the middle of the lake and the following burst of laughter resonated between the high rocks with a happy echo…
*
It took them twice as long as usually to pack up all their stuff and get ready for another journey, not to mention just another rebinding of their wounds. One day which they spent together in the small paradise was far from being enough and neither of them wanted to leave it so soon. But despite being short, that time somehow healed their souls, which carried so many scars already. It was about to turn into a strong, happy memory, which they would carry in their hearts from that moment on, and it made them feel stronger and connected to the other…
“How about we make a trip here someday again?” Jin suggested, holding Kuro´s reins, with his look focused on the humming waters on the opposite side of the beautiful lake.
Kame nodded right away: “If there is a chance…”
“There will be,” the older one stated firmly. “I want it as my birthday gift.”
“Oh, really? And are there any special requests included?” Kame asked mockingly.
Jin looked at him with a challenge in his eyes: “I don´t have to think about that long… You. Naked. Under the waterfall,” he announced in a deep voice.
Kame smiled in a very pleasant way: “Ah, of course, your wish will be granted,” he promised. “In July, then, correct? It surprises me that you want to wait for so long…” he added already on his leave, leading Ukushi towards the path down between the rocks.
Jin stared at Kame´s back almost terrified: “No, no, no… Wait! I didn´t think it like that!” he called, rushing after the younger one. “Wait! Kame!”
*
Liwan didn´t exaggerate when he claimed that their meeting point was not too far away.
First, they had to deal with the steep descent to the narrow valley, passing a few pitch-black entrances to the natural caves on the way, until they came across the river. Then they followed its flow down to the south west and it didn´t take long until they noticed the undeniable proof of the human civilization - the smoke of a few fires clearly visible against the blue sky.
The young Riders stopped their horses on the edge of the slope above not very far-reaching canyon, their eyes focused on the asymmetric cluster of hardly recognizable human dwellings, which didn´t exactly fit into the scenery.
“One more month and we´ll get to know Colorado better than Montana…” Jin assumed, pushing his hat back, so that he could have a better view of the mountain valley.
Noticing the not exactly happy tone of his lover´s voice, Kame looked at Jin curiously.
They had been through quite rough times ever since they joined the Black Riders, that much was true. But still, Colorado was a breath-taking country with all its natural beauty, even though it could be quite tough, too. And considering the point where they were now, all that travelling and problems seemed to be worth of it. At least, Kame wanted to believe so… And he also felt that it might be the time to say goodbye to this part of United States and go back home. The question was, if Jin´s thoughts were similar to his or not, considering his relationship with Leo…
Jin noticed the younger one´s gaze: “What is it?”
But Kame just smiled and shook his head. He didn´t want to spoil the atmosphere, not yet: “Nothing… Can we go? The others are probably already waiting for us.”
The older one kept silent for a while, watching Kame with a little strange look.
“Not yet,” he denied then and reached for Ukushi´s reins, pulling them gently out from Kame´s clasp to make the animal got closer to Kuro. “Not before I do this…” leaning forward, Jin overcame the space between them and attached to Kame´s lips.
Meeting him willingly, Kame sneaked with one of his hands around the older one´s neck, giving into the tickling sensation happily. Jin´s kissing turned urgent, and his hand let Ukushi´s reins go so that he could place it on the younger´s thigh. Kame put his tongue into the game first, licking Jin´s lips provocatively and the older one reacted to that right away, usurping that wet hot flesh and making Kame sigh…
Ukushi and Kuro moved, separating them from each other so suddenly, that they both almost fell down the saddles.
“What the…!” Jin snapped unpleasantly surprised, but shut up right away, when Kuro moved with his big head and he looked down the slope towards the road under it.
“Ah, it´s them…” Kame recognized the small group of three riders first.
“Yeah, they´re…” Jin confirmed kind of gloomily and glanced at the younger one. Their interrupted kissing left Kame´s taste on his tongue and he somewhat disliked that unfinished feeling...
Those three hadn´t noticed them up there yet, at least it didn’t seem so, as they continued riding in the direction of the small colony.
We will catch with them up soon, Jin realized frowning. Too soon, damn it.
Who knew when he would be all alone with Kazuya again… Just imagining that they would have to hold back once more, made him upset. He was not sure from where that burning desire for the younger one came, since they did their best to release that sexual tension the day before, but he didn´t care.
“Get down,” Jin stated more harshly than he had intended and slipped down the saddle as the first.
“What?” Kame gasped surprised, when the older one took and pulled his hand to make him move faster.
Once also the younger one was safely on his two feet, Jin dragged him into the shadow of nearest tall conifers, out of sight of anyone around.
“Jin, what the hell are you doing?” Kame staggered behind him. “We could call after them, I´m sure that…”
The rest of his words were stopped from being said by the demanding lips, as Jin pressed Kame against the nearest tree bole and stole his breath.
Kame was a little surprised by the urgency of his boyfriend, but that didn´t mean that his heart would not start beating faster when Jin´s hand slipped down to his belt and started unclasping it hastily, while still kissing him.
When the older one let him breathe for a while, Kame realized that he already managed to slip his hands under Jin´s shirt and his legs were shaking a little in expectation of what that fire in Jin´s eyes meant.
“I assume you don´t need me under that waterfall after all…” he said shakily, as Jin pulled Kame´s trousers off the way impatiently.
“No,” the older one confirmed hoarsely, unbuttoning his own trousers too. “Right here will do…”
It was hard for Kame to subdue the moans of pleasure, as Jin kept plunging inside of him in a rushed, passionate way, from behind, so hard that Kame had to hold on the tree firmly, the hard bark scratching his palms. He knew he would feel this sudden, hot session of theirs long after, which would not make riding any pleasure, but at that moment, when he was about to lose his senses, he couldn´t care less… He would happily surrender to Jin over and over again, even though certain part of him would definitely had some objections against something like that. He loved everything what Jin was doing to him too much…
Being inside of Kazuya, feeling the walls of his hot tight ass around his aroused shaft, it was so damn incredible every time, that it felt like a dream. But the slim body shaking in his grip was too real for Jin to be dreaming. He had always felt that strange invisible connection to the younger one and when they merge into one body while having sex, that feeling was multiplied a hundred times. Jin almost thought that he would go crazy from pleasure every time when Kazuya´s inners tightened around him, as it was so much overwhelming…
Nothing could beat that incredible feeling as they flew up to the peaks of pleasure together. It was always so indescribably awesome. Being flooded with those feelings, everything else ceased to exist for the two. There was nobody else than the two of them, connected with love. The attraction they felt for the other was too tempting to resist doing it again and again. And so they did, no matter circumstances, no matter consequences…
***
Defiance couldn´t be called a city, or a town, not even a village. Most of Indian reservations were of a bigger size than the camp of tents and poor shelters located directly at the confluence of two rivers. It was quite surprising that despite the small numbers of permanent inhabitants, it had two saloons and even a brothel, but on the other side, there was not a single piece of civilization in the Wild West, which would not have had that kind of establishments. It was said that a certain Isaac Cooper had big plans for the locality, since many hot springs had been recently found around. But at the moment, when two young men entered the camp, that dream was far from being realistic.
After Ryo evaluated the composition of people they passed, he understood why their new Indian friend wanted to stay out of it and waited for them outside the camp borders, at the river bank. Gunslingers, gamblers and prostitutes were mostly among them. Lucky for them they had a successful hunt, so they didn´t need many things to supply themselves. And no matter how much Koki pleaded, he didn´t let him slip into one of those dirty dives which they dared to call saloons and dragged him away right after they made a bit of shopping at the local grocery.
They got back to Liwan just in time, as the Indian was already looking out for the two riders, who appeared on the road towards Defiance from the same direction, from which they had arrived just an hour ago. The black stallion and white mare gave out their identity long in advance.
“Well, that´s a relief,” Ryo commented their approaching friends, as he jumped down his horse. “They didn´t drown each other in that lake…”
Koki chuckled: “I bet they were not far away from that…”
Liwan didn´t comment their mockery and kept watching their two lovebirds’ arrival with the hands crossed on his chest.
“Hey, guys!” Koki waved at the two vigorously, as if Jin or Kame could ever miss to notice his bright hair. Both noble animals stepped away from the narrow road by that time and soon they joined them at the river.
“You didn´t have to rush so much!” Koki continued his welcome. “I could grab a beer or two meanwhile.”
“I doubt that slush, which they would have given you there, could be called beer,” Ryo snorted scornfully.
“You would be amazed how wonderfully the liquids taste when you´re thirsty!” the blonde once countered.
Ryo pointed at the sparkling hectoliters of water: “You´ve got the whole river here then.”
Koki pouted and Jin, getting down his horse swiftly, laughed amusedly: “Absolutely no change here, I see.”
The black-haired Rider shrugged and Koki made some very vulgar gesture, but the Indian´s expression was serious, as he observed the younger of the two dismounting his beautiful mare much more carefully, seeming to be quite relived that he made it.
“Did you get anything good?” Jin wondered peeking inside the bag attached to Ryo´s saddle.
“I definitely recommend water; nothing from that store seemed to be drinkable,” the Rider announced quite sadly.
Jin put on a disappointed face, but reached for the flask of water Ryo thrusted under his nose nevertheless: “Water… Thank you very much,” he snorted.
Then, Liwan finally spoke as well: “Did you rest properly?” he asked in such an intentionally doubtful tone that Kame froze in the middle of step and Jin choked on the water.
The faces of both guys turned into tomato color, which was understandable in Jin´s case, since he almost coughed his lungs out, while Ryo was trying to help him by thumping him on the back, but not so clear in case of Kame, who just stood there, flushing to the roots of his hair.
“We…” Kame started hesitantly.
“I guess not,” Liwan interrupted him mercilessly. “But since it helped you two anyway…” he made a waving gesture, as if he was leaving the rest up to Manitou.
In that moment, Koki was choking on laughter, trying to hide behind his horse unsuccessfully and Kame was so red, that Ryo started to be worried for his health.
Jin finally stopped coughing and stared at the Indian: “You… You…” he wheezed.
“Yes, Akanishi?” Liwan turned to him with a curious expression. “Anything you would like to tell me?”
Jin opened his mouth and then closed it again.
“I thought so,” Liwan nodded, not impressed. “Well, since we are all here now, we can set off,” he stated and headed to his horse.
Kame seemed to turn mute and Jin was thunderstruck. When the older one finally tore his eyes of the Indian, he looked at Ryo. The black-haired Rider tried really hard not to start laughing, but the corners of his lips were twitching no matter the effort.
“Look… I… what do you think that…” Jin stopped talking, seeing that Ryo was really about to lose control.
“Relax, Jin,” Koki´s head popped up from behind his stallion´s body. “You don´t have to provide us with any details…” he grinned mockingly.
The older one´s jaw dropped, while Kame stared at their friends in disbelief. They should have been expecting it, but it was still just too surprising that the Riders took their relationship with such ease.
Liwan was already on the back of his horse, and Koki with Ryo followed his example. Jin and Kame looked at each other baffled. But then, a smile spread on their faces. Maybe that the attitude of their buddies was surprising, but at the same time relieving and definitely worth bearing with a few teasing remarks on their upcoming way to the east…
