Stepping back, he trailed his gaze over my torso, his eyes dark and heated as he licked his lips.
"You're gorgeous," he murmured, and my fingers tightened on his waist as I bit my lower lip, my cock hardening fully at his words.
Keoni reached for my belt, a question in his gaze, and I nodded slowly, holding my breath as he pulled out the belt, then unbuttoned my pants before pushing them down with my underwear, leaving me completely bare in front of him.
"Fuck, Zephyr," he murmured as his gaze fell to my hard cock, and I swallowed hard.
Before he could touch me, I reached for his shirt, tugging at the hem. "Can you take it off?"
Keoni met my gaze, then smiled. "Of course."
With quick motions, he undid his shirt, then discarded it, leaving him naked in front of me save for the stockings, which he obviously couldn't remove.
I ran my fingers over his chest, and he sucked in a breath when my pinkie brushed against his nipple. He'd reacted like that last time too.
"Can I... Can I try something?"

Zephyr was always soconfident, even when he'd been struggling with the Sanctuary, even when he'd had no idea how to fix it. Yet, in here, when it was just the two of us, he was always so... unassertive. He let me take the lead, even though I was centuries younger and had none of his experience.
It made me even more curious about his request, and there was no way I would say no to him.
"What would you like to try?"
He bit his lower lip, then glanced from me to the bed.
Taking my hand, he walked over to the bed, then settled on the edge. Like this, the top of his head reached my chin, since his bed was lower than I remembered. He'd changed it for my sake, I was pretty sure, though he hadn't mentioned it. That was just how he was, wasn't it? Quietly taking care of everyone without ever asking for anything in return.
It was one of the reasons why I wanted to give him everything.
All thoughts in my brain crashed to a halt as Zephyr leaned forward and ran his tongue over my nipple.
"Fuck!" I exclaimed, stepping back in surprise. Zephyr's hand in mine was the only thing that kept me tethered to him, and I shot him a wide-eyed look as my skin heated up. "That felt..."
"Good?" he asked hopefully, and I swallowed hard.
"Yeah, I think so. It was intense," I admitted, and he hummed.
My nipples had always been sensitive, but they'd never felt quite like this. The slight brush of his tongue had reverberated through my whole body, and my skin was warmer than it'd been moments ago.
"Let's get into bed first," I murmured, mostly because I had a feeling my legs wouldn't be able to hold me up much longer if I let him continue.
Zephyr smiled, then slid back on the bed as I climbed in beside him. I lay on my side facing him, my lower half spread out behind me, and Zephyr met my gaze, his blue eyes soft and dark with desire.
I closed the distance between us, pulling him into a soft, unhurried kiss as I placed my hand on his shoulder, then slid my palm lower as skin turned to warm metal. His fingers twitched against mine, and I gave them a squeeze before moving my hand to his hip.
Zephyr pulled back with a gasp, his eyes dark, his lips wet and pink. I kissed him again, unable to resist, and he groaned lowin his throat as he kissed me back. He slid his arm around my waist, tugging me closer as the kiss deepened.
Kissing Zephyr was like discovering my favorite book in the library and like getting to run for the first time combined. It was safe and warm and exhilarating, and I never wanted it to end.
But Zephyr pulled back with a huff, twinkles in his eyes, and grumbled, "Stop distracting me!" and I remembered where things had been headed before.
Smiling, I placed a peck on his lips but refrained from kissing him deeper, holding myself back as he loosened his arm from my waist and slid lower until his face was in line with my nipples. He trailed warm, metallic fingers over the hardened nubs, and I sucked in a breath. While the metal was warm, my skin was hotter, and it felt cold against my nipples.
"You're so sensitive," Zephyr murmured, something like awe in his voice, and I groaned as he leaned forward and ran his tongue over one nipple, his fingers playing with the other. "Fuck, you sound so good." His lips brushed against my nipple as he spoke, and I jerked back instinctively, the pleasure searing through my skin like a bolt of lightning.
