Intro/Chapter 1 Can Barely Hide
chapter 2
Reno gradually came awake because something kept tickling his nose. Irritated at having his pleasant dream interrupted, he swiped at the pesky thing and his hand brushed through soft hair instead. Reno woke up enough to register the additional weight in his bed and the warmth curled against his body. His lips curved in a pleased, satisfied smile. Cloud. Cloud had stayed with him. Reno had been almost sure the blond would try to slip out in the night.
Reno let his hand play with the soft hair that somehow still managed gravity defying spikes and remembered the mind blowing pleasure of the previous night. Who would have thought that prickly Cloud would be such a fantastic, responsive lover? Just thinking about it made Reno hard with renewed desire, but he could wait. He would just laze around in the bed holding his lover and see what Cloud's reaction would be when he woke.
Reno was satisfied for the moment that Cloud trusted him enough to sleep entwined with him.
Cloud woke slowly, comfortably... warm and safe and with a feeling of something right. Something belonging. He felt almost happy.
Pressing against Reno he inhaled deeply and his eyes blinked open. He was instantly aware of a firm pressure against his thigh.
Pressing his nose against Reno's collarbone, he kissed and nuzzled his lover's flesh. He had slept the full night against this man and had woken safe and drowsy... there was something to be said for his enhanced instincts allowing this.
Reaching down beneath the sheets, Cloud wrapped his fingers around Reno's cock and gave a firm squeeze. Tilting his head up, he sought the redhead's lips for a kiss.
Reno inhaled sharply and gave up all pretense of sleeping when Cloud grasped him. He opened his eyes to see Cloud's face tilted up to him, kiss swollen lips temptingly within reach. Reno took the offering eagerly and savored the feel and taste of Cloud again. He flicked his tongue over Cloud's lips teasingly and sucked the lush bottom one for a heady minute.
Breaking off the kiss, Reno smiled against Cloud's mouth and drew back.
"Hungry?" Reno asked. "We never ate anything last night."
He was famished. But right now the thing heaviest on his mind didn't involve food. He squeezed and stroked Reno slowly. "I need you first," he breathed. Pushing Reno over onto his back he followed and lay atop him.
Releasing Reno long enough to align their cocks he then began to pump his hips to rub against his lover.
Reno gave Cloud a wicked smile and pulled the tube of lube from under his pillow. He slicked his fingers and pulled Cloud further up his body so he could enjoy the sensitive skin of the blonde’s neck and shoulders. Reno pulled Cloud's head back to expose his neck in a graceful curve and slid his other hand slowly back between the cheeks of his ass.
Reno whispered into Cloud's neck, "Tell me how you want it," and bit down where the neck joined the shoulder at the same time he slipped a single finger inside.
Moaning aloud, Cloud arched against Reno. His breath was scorching his neck... no, those were his teeth. His hands kneaded the bed sheets and a bit of saliva painted the corner of his open lips.
How did he want it? He tried to formulate a response but right now his vocabulary seemed very limited. "I want it hard," he panted. "And s-slow. Make me scream with need."
So, Cloud wanted it slow? Reno could go with that. He would tease and please until Cloud begged for relief. Reno wanted Cloud to think of no one else but him. He wanted Cloud to be his and his alone.
Reno circled the base of Cloud's hard cock to act as a cock ring and keep him from coming and fucked him with a single finger. In between thrusts he would pull it out completely and circle the puckered ring with a light, delicate touch then stroke and fondle Cloud's balls. Reno wanted to overwhelm Cloud with sensation even though he wanted desperately to sit Cloud atop him and watch the blond ride him.
Intoxicated by the feel of hot flesh clenching around his fingers as he delved again and again, Reno used his lips, teeth and tongue on any part of smooth skin he could reach. He didn't even realize he was voicing his thoughts aloud.
"I want you to be mine, Cloud. I want to be the only one to do this to you and see you like this. I want you to want only me."
Reno pressed his face to Cloud's neck and plunged deep, deep to ghost his fingers over the man's prostate.
"Nnng..." Cloud moaned and panted. Reno was so fucking good! "Reno..." He heard every word. Pushing back against Reno's hand he cried out loud. "Yes... only you... Aaah..."
Right now he couldn't see himself with another soul. And he couldn't recall the last lover he had even had. "I'm yours, I'm yours... Nnnn..." He was already starting to shake. Releasing the sheets with one hand he threaded his fingers into Reno's hair.
"Please..." He panted. "Reno... your cock..." He whimpered and tried not to shake.
"Yes, baby. Yes." Reno panted the words and slicked his cock. He nudged Cloud into position and thrust up into his shaking body in one smooth stroke. "Only me."
Reno pulled Cloud down for a breath stealing kiss then gently pushed him upright until the blond was straddling him. He used his hands on Cloud's narrow hips to guide him into sync with his slow, easy thrusts.
"Ride me, Cloud. Show me you want me."
"Mmnnn..." Cloud moaned and looked down at Reno as he began to ride him. Up and down, Reno's hard length felt so right sliding in and out of his ass. He began to rise and fall faster and harder, panting softly.
"Reno... so good... aahn..." He stretched his spine like a cat and rubbed his own abdomen and nipples with pressing hands. "Tell me... how I feel..." He ran his hands down his stomach and to Reno's hands, taking them and holding on as he upped the pace.
"Oh, baby," Reno breathed. "You feel so hot and tight, grips me just right, then sucks me all the way back in like you can't get enough. I could stay buried in you all day watching you ride. Or keep you squirming under me for weeks until your friends call out a search party."
Reno groaned in pleasure and managed a throaty chuckle.
"Keep you all to myself for a while. Hold you...every night...while you sleep. Uhn, Cloud! Shit!" The Turk struggled to keep talking. "Then wake you up...ah damn, to do it all again."
Reno massaged Cloud's thighs and cupped his ass, hissing at feel of the tight, velvet soft clench around his cock. He wasn't going to last long with Cloud's fast pace and slicked a hand to stroke the blonde’s jutting length.
"Every night?" Cloud moaned. "Yeeess... p-please..." He gasped as Reno grasped his cock and began to stroke it. "Fuck, Reno..." He whimpered. He was so close. He began to leak onto Reno's ripped abdomen. "Reno," his cries of passion escalated and he rode Reno harder.
"Tell me I'm yours... aaahn!" He looked into Reno's eyes. "Only yours." He grunted and his spine stiffened as he felt the tightening in his gut begin to spiral...
"Yes!" Reno shouted and thrust hard and deep, his gaze locked with Cloud's. "I'd kill anyone else who dared to touch you."
Reno could feel the beginning shudders in Cloud's body and stroked faster. His own body tightened. He couldn't hold back anymore and struggled to keep his eyes open as orgasm ripped through his body in an unstoppable tide of pleasure.
"You. Are. Mine!"
"AAH!" Cloud's strangled cry of pleasure was torn out of him as Reno erupted deep inside and his own cum splashed Reno's chest and abdomen. Collapsing onto Reno, he lay there panting for breath and feeling their sweat slicked bodies pressed together.
Rising onto his elbow he looked at Reno and touched his jaw. "Say it again..." He whispered.
Reno put his hand over Cloud's and turned his head to place a kiss into the palm. He sighed with contentment and stroked sweat damp hair back from Cloud's face.
His eyes glowing possessively, Reno said quietly but firmly, “You're mine. You gave yourself to me, and I won't be letting you go now. I'll keep saying it until you believe it."
Reno pulled Cloud tight against his body so he could kiss and nip at swollen lips. He could never get enough of the man's sweet taste, but if they didn't get up soon it would take a crowbar to get them apart. Reno chuckled at the image of them welded together with dried come.
"C'mon, babe, time to shower then I need to feed you. I don't know about you, but I can't keep going without fuel."
Cloud didn't know what was getting into him. He seemed addicted to Reno. And they had just started this... affair? Relationship? Fling? He wondered how serious this red headed Turk was...
"I'm starving," he smiled slightly at the gurgling in his stomach, right on cue. Standing up, he stretched slowly before shyly looking over his shoulder. "Together?"
"Always," Reno said and rose from the bed with careless grace.
He worried for a moment over some lingering doubt he had seen in Cloud's eyes. Was his new lover having second thoughts? Reno had been completely sincere in his claiming of Cloud. It was simple truth that he had longed for the blonde for a very long time. There was something still innocent and sweet in Cloud's small, hesitant smile, something that had survived the ravages and death of Sephiroth.
Reno wanted to keep that for himself.
He guided Cloud into the large stone shower with a proprietary hand on his back and adjusted the water to fill the room with steam.
Reno grinned. "Want me to wash your back?"
"You just want a view," Cloud scoffed, but he couldn't help the small smile that turned the corner of his mouth upward.
Stepping into the stream of hot water, Cloud turned his back to Reno and tilted his face into the water with a pleased gasp. The water was just how he loved it, and the pressure felt like tiny hands massaging his entire body.
Reno stepped into the shower close behind Cloud and couldn't quite keep the very satisfied smile off his face as he lathered his hands with shampoo. He dipped his head slightly to nip the back of Cloud's neck and ran his hands through the man's blond hair. Despite its usual gravity defying state, Cloud's hair was soft and smooth to touch. It was one of Reno's secret pleasures to wash a lover's hair and he bit back a moan as he lathered and massaged Cloud's scalp.
Reno turned Cloud to face him and deftly rinsed the hair. He stole a brief kiss and lathered his hands again, this time with his own shower gel. Call it marking of territory or whatever; Reno was thrilled to know that Cloud would spend the rest of the day carrying one of Reno's scents. Reno rubbed his hands down Cloud's chest and abdomen to soap the most intimate part of his body.
"I like the view from the front, too."
Inhaling sharply, Cloud bit his lip as a tremble coursed through him. Reno's touch was electric and he felt himself responding instantly. "Mnn..." A blush crept over his face. "Me too," he panted, gripping Reno's shoulder.
He didn't know who he should blame... himself for his seemingly unstated sexual appetite. Or Reno for seemingly knowing just what to say and do to him. But he didn't really care; he knew Reno would take care of his needs happily.
"You're trembling, babe. Is it fear or desire?" Reno asked. "Or is it fear of desire?"
Reno cupped Cloud's face in his hands and pressed him back against the shower wall so Cloud could feel the effect just touching him had on Reno.
He felt Reno's length, hard and long, slide against his own and it made him moan. Looking into Reno's eyes he felt terrified and felt desire. But he also felt a need to trust this man, his lover.
"It didn't matter yesterday; I thought we could have a great fuck..." He was light-headed looking into Reno's eyes, their bodies so close as he made his confession. "But," and he almost tried to melt into the shower wall as his heart hammered his ribs. "I'm falling for you. And it terrifies me."
Reno tilted their foreheads together for a moment and closed his eyes to better savor what Cloud had said. His own heart had stuttered into a trip hammer rhythm. Needing to soothe his lover, Reno eschewed words for actions and moved his lips over every inch of Cloud's face before settling softly on trembling lips. Reno kept the kiss sweet and gentle and gather Cloud close to his body to rub soothing hands down his back.
With a last lingering kiss, Reno set Cloud away from him and bent to get the shampoo bottle for his own hair. He let the water sluice over his head and gazed at Cloud through the steam.
"While the sex is fantastic... I want, I need, more than just a ‘great fuck’ in a lover. I need to feel something for them and what I feel for you, little hero, scares me too."
Cloud swallowed a lump made of nerves and some emotion that made his chest ache. Stepping in front of Reno he took the shampoo bottle from his hands. Pouring some into his palm he set the bottle down and pulled Reno out of the stream.
"I thought Turks weren't afraid of anything," he said, taking Reno's hair tie out before he began to wash. His hair was silky and almost slick when wet. "But I'm happy I'm not alone in this..."
Reno arched into Cloud's hands like a purring cat. There could even be heard a rumbling groan of pleasure from deep in his chest.
"Ah fuck, Cloud," Reno mumbled. "I like your hands on me. Makes me feel..."
Reno wanted to say that he felt cared for, but he didn't want to startle his skittish lover with such an admission so soon. It unnerved him enough to admit it to himself how much he wanted Cloud to return his long held feelings. He held his thoughts in check and melted into Cloud's touch.
"Turks are only human even if we have to set our emotions aside from time to time," Reno said, his eyes tightly closed and his tone faintly sad.
"Sometimes that's the only way to survive," Cloud gently scrubbed his lover's nape and then his longer hair down his back. "And setting those emotions aside doesn't make you any less human..." It had taken him years to believe that about himself. At times he still wasn't sure he believed it... but it was easy to repeat to himself as his friends had told him.
He could hear the pain in Reno's voice. Turning him back into the stream he faced him again and reached up to gently rinse his head. "Is it so important to be human?" Cloud asked, brushing his lips over Reno's chin.
Reno kept his eyes closed and clasped one of Cloud's hands to press it flat to his chest over his heart.
"It's important to me to know that I'm more than just a tool to be used to kill efficiently."
Reno dipped his head to claim the lips making his chin tingle. The warm feeling continued through the light kiss and Reno licked the seam of Cloud's lips to urge them to part for him.
He never would have guessed he'd find someone so similar to him with the same suffering and needs. It made his heart brim and break simultaneously with despair and love.
Parting his lips, he kissed Reno slowly and deeply. His hand pressed against Reno's chest firmly to feel his beating heart. Then it slipped around to pull Reno against him, pressing their chests together.
Reno hummed into Cloud's luscious mouth, relishing the hot sweetness and the feel of water slick skin sliding together. Gods! He felt like an addict and couldn't get enough of the man. Reno's cock stiffened and grew against the soft skin of Cloud's abdomen. The kiss deepened and his hunger grew. Reno fumbled blindly for the bottle of hair conditioner. Not the best of ideas for lube, but he didn't think he could manage the few steps back to the bed.
Reno slipped his slick fingers between Cloud's ass cheeks and released his lips to pant against them.
"I want you again. Need you," Reno moaned in desperation.
That tone made Cloud tremble. His cock stiffened at the feel of Reno's pressing against his abdomen. "I'm yours... I'm here," he whispered, nibbling on Reno's lips and chin and pressing up against his body. He loved the feel of his lover's hard cock against him. "Take me now," he moaned.
Reno voiced a sound that wavered between a growl and a sob and urged Cloud to wrap his legs around his waist. He braced Cloud against the shower wall and pressed the tip of his cock against Cloud's entrance. Taking a gasping breath, Reno slowly pushed into the smooth warmth that parted easily for his thrust.
"Yes, baby. Mine."
Reno held Cloud's ass in his hands and did his best to return Cloud's gift of pleasure using all the knowledge he had gained of the man's body from the previous night.
"Aah..." Cloud wrapped his legs loosely around Reno and scrambled to find something to hold onto. The shower wall was slick so Cloud grabbed onto Reno's shoulders instead. He felt amazing! He hit all the right spots and thrust in ways that made Cloud's toes curl.
"Reno! Aahn!... nng... yes..." He couldn't stifle his cries and moans as Reno made love to him. Yes, Cloud was sure this no longer fit the category of 'great fuck'. Reno was attentive to his needs and to how his body responded... this was so much more than a fuck.
The sound of Cloud's pleasure drove Reno's lust and affection to new heights. His orgasm struck him quickly and he wailed incoherently even as he slid to the tile floor, gentling easing Cloud to rest in his lap. Reno panted and shivered against Cloud's chest and stayed thrust balls deep so he could feel the spasms of increasing tightness as his lover came closer to climax.
Reno stroked and kissed and chanted over and over, "C'mon, baby, for me. Come for me."
Digging his fingers into Reno's shoulders, Cloud arched like a bow. His entire body tensed as his orgasm crashed down onto him. He erupted with a strangled cry and was left panting, clinging to Reno.
He relaxed slowly and sought out Reno's eyes. Searching them, he reached up to touch his lover's face.
Reno kissed the tips of Cloud's fingers, his palm and the inside of his wrist while maintaining eye contact. He knew his own eyes were wet but just couldn't bring himself to give a damn.
Reno stood on shaky legs to get them both off the hard, tile floor and readjusted the spray to a more comfortable warmth. Wrapping Cloud in his arms, the Turk held him close and murmured against his temple.
"Thank you...for being you and for...understanding."
Cloud pressed in close against Reno, wrapping his arms around his middle and holding on tight. He wanted to meld into this body, to truly become one with Reno. Closing his eyes, he inhaled Reno's scent with a sigh.
"You don't have to say that..." He whispered. "I should be thanking you, for finally bringing us together.
"Together. I like the sound of that. Does that mean I'll have something to look forward to at the end of the day or when I come back from a mission?" Reno asked, working to keep his tone light. That sounded almost plaintive to him so he tried again. "I know you could use a good massage once in a while after being on that bike delivering who knows what all day."
Reno tightened his hold on Cloud at the thought that he might not be there again. Ah, fuck the games! No one ever got what they wanted by being a pansy.
"I meant what I said about taking care of you and holding you every night, babe. Tell me what's going on in that beautiful, spiky head of yours."
Turning his head up, Cloud kissed and nuzzled Reno's chin. "I want to be there every morning, every night, and when possible... every in-between." He pressed his lips to Reno's softly, feeling his talented, soft lower lip between his own. "As long as you tell me you'll have me, and tell me often... I like hearing you say that."
"Cloud..." Reno paused to gather his thoughts that kept scattering with each touch of his lover's lips. "Cloud, I'll always want you here. I don't want just your body or the sex. I want to come home to you or wake up beside you and know it's because you're mine and you want to be here. I want to do everything with you and I want to just lay about and do nothing with you."
Reno started to get a little embarrassed by his own bumbling speech. He abruptly let Cloud go to turn off the water and grabbed a couple of towels from a rack. Slinging one around his waist, Reno swathed his lover in the other one.
Cloud smiled at Reno's sudden embarrassment and threw his arms over his shoulders. "Tell me again, and again, and again. Never stop." He let Reno dry him off and then grabbed him by the towel around his hips, pulling him out of the shower.
"Thanks to you," he teased as he untied the towel and began to gently rub Reno's hair. "I'm famished now."
Reno stood with a small smile on his face and let Cloud take care of his hair. It felt so incredibly good to have someone caring for him for a while. Once most of the water was gone he led Cloud back into his bedroom to find some clean clothes to wear. Reno's favorite lounging pants went over his long legs and he tossed a pair of very soft workout pants to his shorter lover.
The programmed coffee pot in the kitchen had just given its last sputters of completion when the men entered the kitchen and Reno made a beeline for it. He motioned for Cloud to sit at the breakfast bar and gave him a lingering kiss along with a hot cup of coffee. Cloud tasted so good that the first kiss became a second and a third until Reno's stomach announced its demand for something more filling than his lover's sweetness.
"Right," Reno laughed. "Steak and eggs. Protein for virile young men."
It didn't take long to make two full plates and Reno joined Cloud at the bar. He busied himself with fork and knife to keep his hands away from ravishing the man.
"I have to report in to headquarters in a half hour, babe." Reno slipped an extra security key from his key ring and gave it to Cloud. "Will you be able to be here tonight?" He punctuated his question with a kiss, nibbling on a full bottom lip.
Cloud took the key and gripped Reno's hand, holding it firmly as he kissed his lover. "I'll be waiting for you," he said softly as he pulled away from those lips, hooding his eyes seductively.
He could get back to making deliveries today. Tifa was probably worried sick over his absence... but suddenly he was feeling a bit more social and a bit less depressed and a little more satisfied thanks to Reno.
