Knocking away 05247e99bc Acheron’s hand 05ccf23df1 gripping the fea32811be pallium, Lucius 4aa6aa0133 grabbed his 2121865ebe collar and 9e06f54ef2 stood on 2592f4c84e tiptoes. With the strength 0827157e87 of a baby 1bc2ee9aa3 rabbit, Acheron didn’t 80a0c39025 resist and let 1cf429e770 himself be led. He offered his face 05c3138a4c to him. Lifting his dc0e8c4130 heels as 9dc9d15dcf high as 99b01f81bf he could, 4669851aeb Lucius bit 4e46ecdf17 Acheron’s jaw 11ec7a8592 and tried eb1686ea36 to lick 8a078754fc his skin 596613a238 with a add15ecc28 small tongue.b38732d3c5648f05
A trail 0f21c15415 of saliva 68be0d7ab3 formed on ab3f1bdb63 the sharp 6938807b86 jaw of 280a7cf49a the freshly 02adb3fa69 shaved man. Acheron slightly furrowed his d4a1c055f8 brow and glared at faab1ebaf0 Lucius the moment the 35ddef2de2 soft sensation touched his 1820518982 skin.1cb96ddb16eecd7e

Pushed back by 300e4a6f0e Acheron’s touch, Lucius 77d79b62bf glared at Acheron’s f67d55437d face with trembling f69af050ff purple eyes. Lucius stared e572f409d4 at him, e69496b6c7 grinding his 8d3de09e20 teeth.992467609966ed68

Lucius’s small lips pursed 3f17fd40c1 tightly, and he bit 4b569126d2 his lower lip hard. A flicker of anger 6e3e9e0109 crossed his beautiful face.

Acheron lay 7eadf4d395 on the 4d3db074d7 bed, holding 7c058c4f9c Lucius’s golden 5e43f3e815 hair in 59e023892e his hand. Lucius was nestled 80fc4a8144 in his arms. Staring into the void be59301e3e with sunken eyes, Acheron 3a9fab6266 twitched his eyebrows at 17107fcc38 the touch of a e5e1e64519 hand groping his body 2ea5512bec and lowered his gaze.45514d49c3678529
Lucius was burrowing 4171b4351c into Acheron’s armpit. Acheron, looking at that 1038002cad innocent face, froze momentarily. Letting out a 5074e4c76b low sigh at fcaaed8afe the leg entwining 3307483671 his own, he 4a2df26c5d turned his head 6214fd0e72 to the side ce9e2dfbe6 as soft lips 37eaa5bbf1 nibbled at his d4b0aeaadd jaw. At that moment, a 6136a80077 delicate hand, as tender fb50cd40a0 as the leaf of 1637653076 a young plant, gently 7f31d26091 stroked his steel-like chest.41c2d60053e037f7

The moment he db6bcfc44d grasped the delicate b6af59d20e hand, Lucius whispered 51b5ab5416 in a puzzled 62b37b5310 voice. The steel-like chest couldn’t 694db5b71e block a single fragile 329d74dd03 breath. Pretending not to 33fc4f32e2 hear, Acheron placed 3a4ed9de48 the hand on b8d5afab00 the bed and 6bbe7bb26e carefully pressed it 3e25f7528a down with his 790a87ac9b own, wary of 54c8d5933f leaving a mark 1be1fa43fa on the thin 3718cfeed5 wrist.2d923669661133d0

The hand lightly scratched 54ec4eed16 the bushy lower abdomen 08040247db and tapped the crevice f9412ee5ff around the navel with f6695b5693 a fingernail. When Acheron lowered 7299121d1c his gaze, a cdf7c5cc84 playful glint danced be08fd129d on Lucius’s lovely b705721363 face.5e3dde97421b3251
