Xul was in a foul mood. Riggs had, once again, taken one of his prized possessions—a rare artifact that Xul had been meticulously studying. After a frustrating search, Xul had finally tracked Riggs down to the living room, where Riggs was lounging with the artifact in hand, looking decidedly unbothered.“Riggs!” Xul’s voice was sharp, his irritation palpable as he stormed into the room. “I need that back!”Riggs looked up, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. “Oh, this old thing? I was just admiring it.”Xul’s eyes narrowed. “You know how important that is to me. Give it back.”Riggs stretched languidly, holding the artifact just out of reach. “Why don’t you come and get it?”Xul didn’t need any further provocation. He lunged at Riggs, who laughed and dodged, making the chase a game. The two men began to wrestle playfully, their movements becoming more intense as Xul’s frustration grew.Riggs’s laughter echoed through the room as he tried to keep the artifact away, darting around and making Xul work for it. Finally, Xul managed to get a solid grip on Riggs, pulling him down to the floor.The artifact clattered away, forgotten as Xul pinned Riggs down. Riggs’s laughter turned into a playful grin as he looked up at Xul. “Alright, alright, you’ve got me. Now what?”Xul’s breath was heavy, his face close to Riggs’s. The close proximity and the adrenaline of the chase had ignited a different kind of energy between them. Xul’s frustration had melted into something more intense, and he found himself staring at Riggs’s lips.“Now,” Xul said, his voice low and husky, “I think you owe me an apology.”Riggs’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “And what if I don’t want to give it?”Xul’s gaze darkened, and he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against Riggs’s ear. “Then I might have to take it.”Riggs’s breath hitched, and he tilted his head slightly, giving Xul access. “Is that so?”Without waiting for a response, Xul closed the distance, capturing Riggs’s lips in a searing kiss. The kiss was fierce and passionate, fueled by the tension that had built up between them. Riggs’s eyes fluttered closed as he responded eagerly, his hands sliding up to grip Xul’s shoulders.Xul’s hands roamed over Riggs’s body, his touch igniting a fire within both of them. Riggs’s fingers tangled in Xul’s hair, pulling him closer as their kiss deepened. The playful wrestling had turned into a heated embrace, their bodies pressed together, their breaths mingling.The room seemed to fade away as they lost themselves in each other. The only sounds were their heavy breaths and the soft rustle of their clothes as they moved together. Xul’s hands explored Riggs’s back, his touch both demanding and tender.As the kiss finally broke, both men were breathless, their faces flushed with desire. Riggs’s eyes were dark with longing, and he smiled up at Xul. “You certainly know how to make a point.”Xul’s expression softened, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. “I’m glad you think so.”Riggs’s hands slid down to Xul’s waist, pulling him closer. “Now that we’ve settled that, how about we continue this somewhere a little more comfortable?”Xul grinned, his eyes filled with desire. “Lead the way.”They moved together, their bodies still tingling from their passionate embrace. Xul and Riggs made their way to a more secluded spot, their connection deepening with every touch. The playful wrestling had evolved into something far more intimate, and they savored every moment of it.In the quiet of the room, the intensity of their feelings for each other became clear. Their love and desire burned brightly, a testament to the deep bond they shared. As they finally gave in to their passion, they knew that their connection was stronger than ever, built on both playfulness and profound affection.And as they lay together afterward, wrapped in each other’s arms, they couldn’t help but smile at the unexpected turn their day had taken.
