"I love you."

Wen Ke Xing's voice is soft, hard, absolute, unyielding, naked and vulnerable. It is everything that he doesn't know he has forgotten.

He loves me...? Zhou Xu doesn't move, his hands frozen on Wen Ke Xing's shoulders. He loves me. He doesn't breathe. He doesn't blink. He loves me! His mind blank and yet a million thoughts are exploding in his head like firework going off inside a black hole. Wen Ke Xing's wedding vows stirs in his heart as he looks into those black ones. 'I am going to be your soulmate. My love will last forever.' (1)

"I..." Wen Ke Xing shakes his head like he is waking up from a dream, his heart pounding so loud he is scared Zhou Xu can hear it. "I... I just wanted to tell you... I..." His voice shaking when he realize what he has just blurted out. His eyes focusing on the man in front of him. The man who still hasn't started breathing again. The man who has an adorable soft rose tint spreading across his cheeks and down his neck. Wen Ke Xing's eyes soften and his heart slowly calms down. What a magnificent creature he is.

"I-"

Before he can say it again, Zhou Xu's lips are covering his in a kiss that is soft, gentle and a little bit shy. Those warm lips are trembling against his cold ones, the warm tongue searching for his.

Zhou Xu wraps his arms around Wen Ke Xing's neck, his hands buried deep in the raven black hair, more for comfort than of need. Pulling himself up, Zhou Xu wraps his legs around his waist for the fourth time today. Though this time he is naked. This time Wen Ke Xing can feel Zhou Xu's heart thump, thump, thump, against his chest.

Welcoming those searching lips and the soft tongue, Wen Ke Xing loses himself in the wetness, comfort and warmth of his husbands embrace. With the back of his head tingling, he murmurs into Zhou Xu's open lips, "Ah-Xu... Ah-Xu..."

When Wen Ke Xing hears Zhou Xu respond, "Lao Wen...", whispered softly between those velvety lips, his entire body tingles. Carrying Zhou Xu, he walks slowly through the water, not breaking the kiss for even a moment, until they are against the smooth mountain side. Away from the waterfall and the white noise. Away from anything that can distract him from hearing each and every sound that is escaping from his man.

When Zhou Xu feels his back meet the cold and smooth rock surface, he arches his back, rubbing up against Wen Ke Xing and almost purrs. Pulling back from those cold lips, he looks down at Wen Ke Xing through foggy eyes filled with a new need in them. A need that Wen Ke Xing hasn't seen before.

Not saying a word, Zhou Xu releases his legs around Wen Ke Xing's waist to stand by himself. Not breaking eye contact, he takes off first the red, then the white and lastly the black robe, layer after layer, until even the trousers are floating just under the surface, slowly moving with the current towards the edge of the waterfall.

With cheeks still flushed, he presses against Wen Ke Xing's soft skin that almost feels warm submerged in the hot water. Moving his arms around the slender neck he pulls himself up. Licking diagonally over those cold lips, he starts from the curve of the bottom lip with the tip of his tongue. Before he can reach the upper lip, they part and a tongue comes searching for his. The wet sound of the kiss mixes with their soft moans of pure need to be close to the other, filling the air around them with enough emotions it almost vibrates.

When Zhou Xu feels Wen Ke Xing's erection come alive, he smiles and turns around, rubbing his cheeks against it, making Wen Ke Xing's mind hum.

Moving his left hand, Wen Ke Xing lifts one of Zhou Xu's legs to lift him slightly in the water and open up the entry even more. His right hand traces over Zhou Xu's shoulder blades, along the spine and towards the erotic curve of his lower back where it meets his firm ass. His fingers continuing down to circle the opening, feeling Zhou Xu tremble under his touch. When he pushes one finger inside, Zhou Xu all but melts around him. Pushing another in, the folds are still welcoming, pulsing gently around his searching fingers. When he pushes the third finger in, Zhou Xu moans and trembles. Suddenly the friction is gone and Wen Ke Xing can feel Zhou Xu's liquids soaking his fingers. Using his fingers like scissors, he stretches Zhou Xu to get him ready, the moans from his man echoing against the mountain side. Zhou Xu's hands are firm against the rock as he both keeps himself steady as well as pushing down on the fingers.

Pulling his fingers out, Wen Ke Xing takes his erection and guides it towards the opening. When the tip nudges against the opening, Zhou Xu uses his arms to push back at him, swallowing the tip in a hungry gulp. The unexpected welcome sends waves of needs and cravings surging through Wen Ke Xing's meridians. Slowly thrusting deeper and deeper, he can both see and sense Zhou Xu arching his back to meet each thrust, expertly stretching himself to guide the cock deeper inside him, the hole almost sucking at his cock.

When Wen Ke Xing finally thrusts flush, they both let out a long and satisfied moan. With his left hand still holding up Zhou Xu's leg, his right hand goes searching for Zhou Xu's erection, finding it hard and waiting. Stroking it gently, he slowly thrusts flush again and again, the man in front of him moaning in the most intoxicating way, his head spins.

Leaning over Zhou Xu, Wen Ke Xing searches for a kiss with Zhou Xu twisting his head as much as possible to eagerly meet his man. Wen Ke Xing slowly pulls out, and twists Zhou Xu around so that he can see his mouth, his eyes, his every expression. He wants to take it all in. Remember it. Memorize it. Cherish it.

Smiling, Zhou Xu pulls himself up, placing himself on top of the cock, swallowing it deeper and deeper as he pushes down, each fold wet and welcoming inside him. Deepening the kiss, yet keeping it soft and light, their breathing grows heavy. When Zhou Xu has moved himself flush, Wen Ke Xing moves his arms in under each knee, lifting Zhou Xu up against the rock, hanging on his arms, the position opening his cheeks even further.

When Wen Ke Xing finally starts to thrust them flush again and again, Zhou Xu almost cries out as he buries his hands in Wen Ke Xing's hair. Meeting those walnut colored ones, Wen Ke Xing entire body feels like it's on fire. He shifts the angle to hit that spot he has already memorized deep inside Zhou Xu, the moans change into something wild, soft and erotic. Every other moan coming out whilst murmuring his name, "Lao Wen... Gnn... Lao Wen..."

Hearing his name called over and over, he goes searching for those warm and slightly swollen lips. "Ah-Xu..." The kiss is still gentle but deep, a warm and comforting feeling spreading inside him, softening his frozen core into something as hot as melted lava.

The sounds of their moans and their names embrace them both as their climax builds, agonizingly slow yet amazingly powerful. Almost desperately, Zhou Xu clings around his man, searching for those lips and those cold black ones. He arches to meet each thrust, his folds eagerly sucking at his cock to coax him in deeper.

"Lao Wen, I'm close. Come with me. Lao Wen, come with me."

"Ah-Xu... Ah... Gnnh... Ah-Xu..."

The feeling of his man deep inside him combined with hearing his name, Zhou Xu stares up at Wen Ke Xing through a thick fog of desire. I love you too. Unsure if he said it out loud, he whites out as he spills into the water. His folds and walls clamping and trembling in pulses around Wen Ke Xing.

Feeling the orgasm tighten around his cock in pulses, Wen Ke Xing thrusts harder and releases deep into Zhou Xu. His body shaking violently, holding on to Zhou Xu so that they don't fall over. Together, they pump their hot seed again and again until every last drop has left their system. Zhou Xu hangs around Wen Ke Xing's neck, still held by the angle of his knees in Wen Ke Xing's embrace, both panting feverishly.

Their bodies slowly calming down, they still don't let go only staring at the other. Both in a daze. Both a bit shy. Both knowing that they are completely in love. Only one having said it out loud.
