David lay with his arms wrapped around Craig both of them lost in their own thoughts as they looked out the window beyond their beautiful tree. For a moment David wondered what Craig was thinking about as he gazed out at the snow, and pressed a soft kiss against his forehead.

Rubbing his hands up and down his lover's back slowly he thought about how much they had been through in just the short time they had been together...it seemed almost as if he'd lived a lifetime in less than three months. This day had been perfect, waking up in his lover's arms, making love, getting a tree together, talking, laughing, and decorating their tree together in their house.

David thought of everything as theirs and it suddenly struck him that he hadn't really ever told Craig that. "Craig? I don't know if I've said it before or not, but this house...I don't see it as mine anymore... actually I don't see anything as mine anymore not even my heart. My heart belongs to you, and this house, everything, this tree it's ours you know? That's how I see things, have for a while now but not sure I've said it before to you," he said softly.

Craig looked up at his lover in surprise. "You do?" he asked with a smile, trying to wrap his mind around the idea that maybe….just maybe, David wanted marriage as much as he did. "Of all the things that you just named," he said softly, leaning up to slide his hand between their bodies to lie over David's heart, "the only thing I really want is your heart. We could be penniless and homeless and starving, and your love would *still* be the only thing I'd need."

"I wish I would have told you before," David said softly. "My heart *is* yours, *I* am yours. I know that I told you about...*him* and how he treated me like I belonged to him...like property. It may seem odd that now I'm saying something like this to you, but you do understand the difference? I was never his willingly...never...does that make sense? I'm yours because I choose to be, because I love you," David said wanting Craig to understand how he felt.

Craig ran his fingers through the hair at David's temples, his heart feeling as if it would burst. "It makes perfect sense," he said softly. "I am honored that you want to be mine, David, - that of all the people in all the world, you chose me to feel this way about, to give yourself to. I want you to be mine, but only as your choice, never something I will demand or try to force you into."

"I know, I know that, and I think that's part of why it just felt so right because I know you'd have never forced that on me." David smiled happily. "I had no choice really...I sometimes think I loved you before I even met you," David said softly. "Anyway...I just wanted you to know, sometimes I don't always say everything I'm thinking...or I write it down, and you don't always get to hear it like you did the poem at the poetry reading."

Craig placed the softest of kisses along David's jawline, and then leaned up for an even softer one to his lips. "I'm not a poet, love, but I hope you know how much I adore you," he whispered.

David smiled raising his hand to cup Craig's jaw trailing his thumb across his lover's bottom lip, " Now that you've helped me let go of so much of my past, I can feel how much you love me, and I hope you can feel how much I love you. I will never...never stop loving you," David whispered softly leaning forward to capture Craig's lips in a tender kiss.

Splaying his hand across the back of David's head, Craig deepened the kiss, closing his eyes and savoring the incredible flavor of the man he so adored. It was all he could do not to blurt the words out then and there….// Marry me, David. Please, say you'll marry me.//

David lost himself in Craig's kiss, his hands sinking into soft dark hair as his tongue swirled and slipped along his lover's until he was breathless. Pulling back slightly David smiled gazing into sparkling blue eyes and wondering how he could have possibly gotten this lucky but he would never cease to be thankful for the gift of Craig's love. Leaning forward, he captured Craig's lips again, nibbling on his bottom lip gently before trailing lower to suck and nibble on his lover's neck.

Arching his neck back, Craig closed his eyes and smiled, gasping as slick teeth playfully nipped and slid along his skin. "This is *not* going to lead to dinner, you know," he said softly, feeling shivers of desire running up his spine. "At least, not for a good long while."

"You saying you want me to stop?" David whispered his breath ghosting warm and moist against his lover's ear as his hand slid down Craig's back and over a firm round rump pressing their bodies closer together so Craig could feel what very little interest David had in dinner at the moment.

Feeling David's arousal shifting against his own, Craig wrapped his arm tighter around his lover's neck, and moaned. "No," he murmured softly, "that's not what I'm saying at all." Sliding up slightly, his legs slid over David's thighs, urging them together, until Craig was sitting in his lap. He rocked his hips back and forth, sliding his jeans-clad erection against his lover's, his fingers curling in David's soft hair. "Stupid zippers," he mumbled, reaching down to unbutton and unzip his jeans, then did the same for David. Sighing gratefully as their arousals finally touched, Craig wrapped his fingers around them both, squeezing them together, the delicious friction of skin on skin making him even harder.

David gasped as Craig's cock slid against his own, "Oh God," he moaned softly as Craig's hand wrapped around them and arched his hips up to thrust into the firm grip. Pulling Craig forward he kissed him deeply savoring the unique taste of his lover that he'd come to crave. As Craig's hand moved faster his head tipped back as he moaned closing his eyes and losing himself in the sensation of Craig's skin against his own.

Craig leaned forward and attached his lips to the juncture of his lover's neck and shoulder, as his thumb circled the tip of David's arousal, then his own, mixing the pearly fluid gathered there, his fingers growing slicker with each downward stroke. The thick veins on the underside of their organs swelled and pulsed against each other as he pulled back to lean his forehead against his lover's shoulder, a series of low moans falling from his lips. "What do you want, love?" he managed between gasps for air.

David was somewhat torn by the question, anything else would mean Craig would have to move away from him but he did want more. "I want to feel you inside me," he whispered.

Craig felt David's words go straight to his arousal, and it twitched violently against his hand. He stood up and stepped out of his jeans, then slowly pulled David's down long legs, kissing the exposed skin as he went. He reached behind him to the end table and pulled the often used and already half empty tube of lube from the drawer, then moved back to sit between David's legs, quickly slicking his cock and fingers. Letting one hand return to his lover's arousal, he trailed his thumb over the tip as the index finger of his other hand slid over the small puckered entrance to David's body, circling slowly before pressing forward and sliding in.

David watched Craig undress, unconsciously licking his lips, then sat up and pulled his sweater over his head and tossed it to the end of the couch. As Craig leaned over him and slowly worked his jeans down, David lifted his hips so they could slide down. He helped slide his shirt off then lay back on the couch and watched his lover. He was so beautiful. The lights of the Christmas tree and the fire were casting a warm ethereal glow about the entire room. Gasping once Craig's hand moved over him again David moaned and pressed his hips back and down as his lover's slick finger slid inside him.

Moving his finger slowly in and out of David's body, Craig carefully prepared his lover. His finger circled gently, then was joined by another, which quickly followed suit. He let his thumb caress the firm balls that hung low and heavy between David's legs with each inward motion, and shivered with desire when he moaned at the sensation. When David accepted his fingers easily, Craig scissored them and looked down to seem them disappear slowly and repeatedly into small hole, his own hips rocking back and forth in anticipation. Curling his two fingers forward, he pressed in even deeper and rubbed his fingertips across the tiny bundle of nerves hidden deeply inside his lover.

David arched his back as slick fingers moved within him. Craig was always so careful and gentle with him, making him feel treasured and so very loved. As Craig's fingers shifted and brushed over his prostate he moaned softly as his cock twitched from the sensation. "Craig...please, love...need you," David said breathlessly.

Craig nodded and eased his fingers from inside his lover. He moved closer and trailed his hands along David's legs, reaching underneath the calves to bring his legs to rest on Craig's own shoulders. Letting his hands trail back down, he gently parted his lover's cheeks and lined himself up, pressing forward slowly and steadily until he was buried to the hilt. "I love you, David," he whispered as he paused to give them both time to adjust.

His breath hitching in his chest as Craig's thick cock filled him completely, David reached up and tangled his fingers with Craig's. "I love you too," he whispered in return as he shifted his hips slightly, no longer able to wait. "Please, Craig," he whispered desperately feeling as if he might explode just from the feeling of Craig's cock buried deep and throbbing inside him.

Craig's arms wound around his lover's thighs as he bit his bottom lip and pulled his hips back, withdrawing almost completely from the tight heat surrounding him, only to slide forward again and again, setting up a slow and sensual rhythm. He moved carefully inside the tight passage, moaning with each inward thrust as David's hips rose to meet him, causing both men to moan softly. One hand moved down to wrap around David's arousal, and he fisted the rigid organ in time with his movements, which were already growing faster and more erratic. His other hand gripped David's thigh, as he continued to move within him.

Tangling his hand in the blanket and gripping the arm of the couch above his head, David moaned as he met each of Craig's deep thrusts and his muscles clenched around his lover's hard shaft. Once Craig's hand wrapped around his aching flesh David knew he wouldn't last much longer. Thrusting his hips up into the tight grip and back impaling himself even more on his lover's cock David stared into Craig's eyes. "I'm so close," he panted as he enjoyed the incredible feeling of being made love to by the only man he wanted for all time.

Unable to resist his lover's lips for one second longer, Craig let David's legs fall to his sides and leaned forward to rest his weight on one arm as he continued to stroke the thick organ in his hand. His lips descended David's in a deep kiss as his arousal continued to thrust into the hot channel beneath him. "Come on, love," he breathed against David's lips. "Come with me." With a final thrust, he felt his release slam into him, his balls drawing up and his seed spilling deep inside the man he loved.

When Craig released his legs, David wrapped them around his lover's waist just as Craig's lips captured his own in a passionate kiss, tongues swirling, and slipping together in time with their bodies. David saw stars sparkle behind his eyelids as Craig's cock thrust against his prostate. When his lover's lips drew away from his whispering to him David cried out wrapping his arms around Craig and feeling his muscles tense as his release washed over him. He felt himself spill over Craig's hand between their bodies just as he felt his lover's cock surge and spill inside him. Panting and trying to catch his breath David murmured, "I love you" over and over again.

"I love you too," Craig murmured softly, placing loving kisses over warm skin. Fighting the urge to collapse, he instead gently pulled out of his lover's body and leaned down to clean him, using only his mouth and tongue. When he was satisfied that David was thoroughly clean, he brought his hand to his lips and licked it clean too, closing his eyes and savoring the taste. He slid his arms underneath David's shoulders and gently lowered himself to lie on top of him.

Watching as Craig used his mouth to clean him and his own hand David incredibly felt his cock twitch from the erotic sight. Closing his eyes as Craig lay down and wrapped his arms around him he felt treasured and loved, and he hoped Craig felt the same way. "Tá mé thar a bheith i ngrá leat. I am so in love with you...this love...our love is more than I ever thought possible."

"It's more than I ever thought possible too," Craig murmured truthfully. He pulled back to stare into David's sparkling blue eyes and smiled. "It's perfect, and beautiful, and amazing…just like you."

David felt his face flush slightly and smiled, "I'd say that's you, my love," he whispered seriously tugging the blanket over them. "This has been the most perfect day," David said happily. "Though it did start out perfectly in your arms."

Craig snuggled closer to his lover and gave a contented sigh. "It has been perfect. From the very first second I woke up to feel your arms around me, I knew it would be, though. And I wouldn't change a thing…not one thing. Even the snow up the nose was worth it because it made you laugh."

"I'm sorry I laughed," David said softly grinning at the memory, "The look on your face was just so cute I couldn't help it." He trailed his hand up and down Craig's arm and gazed at their Christmas tree. "I wouldn't change a thing either," David murmured looking at the first ornament he placed on the tree, the one he'd made his wish on. He closed his eyes for a moment and prayed that wish would one day come true. Nothing would make him happier than to be Craig's husband.

Chuckling, Craig placed a soft kiss on his lover's cheek. "Don't be sorry," he grinned, "it was pretty damn funny." He glanced over at the tree, trying to figure out what David had been staring at. // The first ornament. God, I'd love to know what you wished for. I know what *I'd* wish for, but…//
