Jade
The myth of jade
Jade - a gemstone of unique symbolic energy, and unique in the myths that surround it. With its beauty and wide-ranging expressiveness, jade has held a special attraction for mankind for thousands of years.
This gem, with its discreet yet rather greasy lustre, which comes in many fine nuances of green, but also in shades of white, grey, black, yellow, and orange and in delicate violet tones, has been known to Man for some 7000 years. In prehistoric times, however, it was esteemed rather more for its toughness, which made it an ideal material for weapons and tools. Yet as early as 3000 B.C. jade was known in China as 'yu', the 'royal gem'. In the long history of the art and culture of the enormous Chinese empire, jade has always had a very special significance, roughly comparable with that of gold and diamonds in the West. Jade was used not only for the finest objects and cult figures, but also in grave furnishings for high-ranking members of the imperial family. Today, too, this gem is regarded as a symbol of the good, the beautiful and the precious. It embodies the Confucian virtues of wisdom, justice, compassion, modesty and courage, yet it also symbolizes the female-erotic. A visit to the jade market, be it in Hong Kong or Rangoon, or at one of the Hong Kong jade auctions organized by Christie's, can give some idea of the significance this gem has for the people of Asia.
However, as long ago as the pre-Columbian period, the Mayas, Aztecs and Olmecs of Central America also honoured and esteemed jade more highly than gold. New Zealand's Maoris began carving weapons and cult instruments from native jade in early times, a tradition which has continued to the present day. In ancient Egypt, jade was admired as the stone of love, inner peace, harmony and balance. In other regions and cultures too, jade was regarded as a lucky or protective stone; yet it had nowhere near the significance that it had in Asia, which was presumably due to the fact that people knew relatively little about this fascinating gem. Fortunately however, in recent times, people's understanding of this gem, which fascinates not only the connoisseurs by its perfect interplay of hardness and toughness with an enchanting range of colours and fine lustre, has improved; and their esteem for it has been on the increase all over the world.

Michael,
I bought you this jade dragon for two reasons: 1) Because I thought you’d like it and the rugrats that go to your store will enjoy seeing it along with the wizards and other mystical figurines you’ve collected to display in the new fantasy book section you’re starting, and 2) because in some cultures the dragon is associated with wisdom and magic, and jade symbolizes the good, the beautiful and the precious along with the virtues of wisdom, justice, compassion, modesty and courage . . . all of which remind me of you. In some cultures, jade also symbolizes love, inner peace, harmony and balance . . . all of which you’ve brought into my life.
Love,
Brian
*****
Michael tried valiantly to swallow the lump in his throat as he finished reading the note he held in one hand and then gazed admiringly at the intricately carved detail of the beautiful figurine he held in his other hand. He raised loving brown eyes to meet happy hazel ones, and thought he’d never tire of seeing the man he loved look so content.
With an impish grin he carefully placed his gift on the table and slowly starting approaching Brian as he said, “I thought you didn’t do romance.”
Brian shrugged and tried his best to appear nonchalant. “Yeah, well, enjoy it and don’t get too used to it ‘cause this will probably be the only time you’ll ever see it.”
Michael laughed and nodded in acknowledgement at Brian’s response. “Why’d you get it? It’s not my birthday and we haven’t been together long enough for it to be our anniversary.”
Brian threw Michael a mock affronted look. “No special reason, Mikey. I just wanted to get you something, that’s all.”
A happy sigh escaped Michael’s lips. “You didn’t have to buy me anything, Brian, especially something so obviously expensive. I’m not with you for what you can get me. You’re gift enough.”
“I know that, Mikey. I don’t HAVE to get you anything, I wanted to. I saw it and thought you’d like it. Besides, can’t a guy buy a gift for his . . . his . . .”
Michael chuckled at Brian’s floundering and stubbornness. Stepping even closer to Brian he teasingly supplied, “Best friend? Lover? Boyfriend? Partner?”
His eyes admitting defeat, Brian responded, “All of them, Mikey, all of them.”
His face glowing with happiness, Michael stopped a few inches in front of Brian and putting his arm around the taller man’s neck, he murmured, “Thank you,” as he pulled him into a sweet kiss. Ending the kiss, he softly said, “I love it and I love you. And like my gift, YOU are exquisite.” He gave Brian another kiss and added, “And precious.” He leaned into another kiss, as he whispered, “And completely irreplaceable. And when we’re together it’s magical.”
With a moan, Brian wrapped his arms around Michael, his hands cupping the smaller man’s ass, pulling him up against his own lean frame, and deepened the kiss.
Pulling out of the kiss, Michael fanned himself. “Woah, hot stuff.” He took Brian’s hand in his own and pulled him toward the bedroom. “Come with me so I can give you a proper thank you.”
Brian’s eyes, already darkened with need, darkened even more. “Lead and I will follow, Mikey.”
As the two men approached the end of the large inviting bed, Michael stopped and ran his hands over Brian’s tank top, one hand wandering down Brian’s body and cupping his hardening crotch, giving it a gentle squeeze. His eyes black with desire, Michael demanded, “As much as I love you barefoot, in tight jeans and your black tank top, they really have to go. Take ‘em off, lover, and get on the bed.”
An ‘in control’ Michael making him harden even more, Brian quickly followed orders. He lay there naked and quivering with need as he watched Michael put on a show by slowly stripping. Their gazes locked and glowing with love and passion.
Michael removed his last remnants of clothing and leisurely lowered himself to the bed, crawling over his lover. Looking down into Brian's eyes, he murmured, "I love you, Brian."
Brian reached out a hand and gently caressed Michael's cheek. "I love you too, Michael.”
At those few words, spoken softly and full of emotion, all thoughts of taking it slow and romantic flew out of Michael’s head. With a needy moan he attacked Brian's mouth in a hungry kiss. His tongue explored the inner recesses of his lover's mouth with enthusiasm. He felt Brian shiver in reaction as Michael pressed their chests together, caressing Brian’s nipples with his own.
With a growl, Brian took over control and deepened the kiss while he wrapped his arms around Michael and flipped them over. While running the fingers of one hand through Michael's silken locks, his other hand sought out Michael's hardening length and began to stroke it slowly. He chuckled into the kiss at Michael's lustful groan at the feel of Brian's hand on his cock and how he pushed up into his hold demanding more.
He felt Michael's hands make their way down his back, nails leaving an erotic trail and stopping to begin caressing and kneading his ass cheeks. Brian released Michael's swollen shaft and lowering the rest of his fully sensitized body onto Michael’s, started grinding his already hard, leaking cock against his lover’s. Michael seemed to lose all control and pulling out of the kiss, he gazed feverishly into Brian's lust darkened eyes and said, "I need you in me now!"
Brian quickly reached over and grabbed the lube and a condom off the nightstand. Michael grabbed the condom from him and swiftly sheathed Brian’s throbbing erection.
Brian squeezed lube onto his hand and started preparing Michael for his invasion, while at the same time once again grabbing Michael's pulsing shaft and stroking it.
Michael held onto Brian for dear life, trying not to scream. The feeling of Brian sticking his fingers into him, touching his sensitive spot each time, while stroking his cock was exquisite torture and quickly pushed him close to the brink . He tried hard to hold on, but when Brian raised Michael’s legs over his shoulders and placed his weeping cock at Michael's opening, slowly pushing his entire length in, Michael lost it. "Oh, fuck, yes!"
Brian shuddered with need at Michael’s wanton response. Losing his control, he plunged in at a frenzied pace. Holding onto Michael's hip with one hand, he fisted his lover’s pulsing length faster, his intense gaze locked on his writhing love’s lust-laden expression.
With tears of wonder and happiness slipping from his eyes, Michael looked at Brian and groaned, “Fuck! I don’t think I’m going to last very long. I'm sorry."
Brian smiled at Michael with a look of love glimmering in his eyes. He leaned forward and stuck out his tongue, licking Michael’s neck and moaned, "I won't last much longer either, Michael. Don't worry, we have all the rest of the night to take it slow. Come for me." He gave Michael a deep kiss as Michael met and returned each of his thrusts in a frenzy.
Within seconds, Michael’s back arched and with a guttural shout, he came, covering them both with his hot substance.
At the feeling of Michael's muscles contracting, caressing his cock, Brian shouted, "I love you, Mikey!" He came in one of the longest and most intense climaxes he had ever experienced, collapsing on top of Michael before slowing sliding off and laying on his back beside his soul mate.
Still breathing heavily, with sweat from the exertion coating him, Brian pulled Michael close to him, wrapping his arms around his lover. He sighed contentedly and murmured, “Damn, Mikey, that was phenomenal. If you say thank you like that for a little jade, I can’t imagine what you’d do for something more precious.”
Michael snuggled even closer, thinking of the exquisite figurine, the first gift Brian had given him as a couple, and of the completely out-of-character romantic note he’d written only because he knew how much it would mean to Michael. He smiled happily and giving Brian a squeeze, replied, “Honey, there will NEVER be anything more precious to me than jade.”
