Branded

Final chapter here .


Appologies to native
New Yorkers for what are
likely many errors . I
have no idea if there is
a subway that goes from
Greenwich Village to
upper Manhattan or not .

I'm not entirely sure
Dee and Ryo lived there
either. Maybe they lived in
the bronx ?

Argh , it's easier to
write love scenes than
figure out geography.


Moon




It was nearly 10:45 when Ryo left the shop . He felt his muddled brain
clear somewhat as he stood , breathing in the clear night air . His eyes
slowly adjusted to the darkness lit by street lamps and sparsely passing
cars . The few shops that were still open at this late hour had little foot
traffic ; after the stifling confines of the tattoo parlor the streets felt calm,
quiet and empty.

A half block ahead , a lone figure leaned against a brick wall just inside
an alleyway . The orange glow of a cigarette moved to the man’s lips ,
flaring briefly. Ryo recognized the other customer from the tattoo parlor
as he walked slowly along the sidewalk towards him .The man flicked his
smoke to the pavement as Ryo neared , crushing it beneath the toe of his shoe.

“Thought I’d have to mount a rescue mission , “ Dee said quietly . “ So , how many
times did that big bear proposition you after I left ? “

“Just once , “ Ryo answered with a smile . Dee shook his head .

“Let me see your arm , “ Ryo said , taking Dee’s right arm in his hands to see
the fresh tattoo his lover sported . Even in the half light from the street lamps ,
Ryo could see the thick black tribal band that encircled Dee’s upper arm . Ryo’s
name was woven into the design .

“It’s so red , “ he worried over the inflamed skin . He looked up at Dee , his own
eyes huge and his lips parted . “ Doesn’t it hurt ? “

“ That’s the whole point , isn’t it ? “ Dee purred , pulling Ryo against him so that
one long leg went between his thighs . Ryo gasped , clinging to Dee’s waist .
“Ummm , “ Dee grinned . “ You are still hard , aren’t you ? Was that everything you
wanted back there , baby ? “

Ryo panted , feeling his face and body heat again for what felt like the tenth time
that night . He ‘d been fighting arousal for so long , now that he finally had his lover
in his arms , and not just in the same room , his need spiked uncontrollably .

He kissed Dee , wetly , pressing into his strong male body , loving the delicious
heat of his sensual mouth . Dee groaned , hands skirting the tender flesh of
Ryo’s lower back to grab his ass instead .

“ Need to go home , “ Ryo pleaded , pulling his mouth free with a gasp . “Please ,
Dee , now ! “

Dee chuckled , moving his mouth against Ryo’s throat . “ You’ll never make
it back to the apartment , ‘ he murmured . His thigh was flexing against Ryo’s
groin , weakening his resolve . “ C’mon , let’s go over to the park and I’ll suck
you off . “

Ryo groaned aloud , too horny to care . Blindly . he let Dee take his hand and lead
him to a darkened park a block ahead . They found a sheltered grove of maples
and leaned against their trunks.

“ I haven’t seen yours yet , “ Dee whispered , as Ryo unzipped his pants . He tried
To turn Ryo’s hips around , but Ryo wouldn’t cooperate .

“Later , “ Ryo gasped , desperate as his erection sprang into Dee’s waiting hand .
“Oh please , Dee , please ! “

“Jesus , babe , “ Dee groaned , fondling him as they kissed again . He was
hard as steel himself , but could wait forever if it meant he got to see his sweet
Ryo like this . “ You are so fucking sexy , “ he panted , sucking at Ryo’s neck
and feeling the frantic pulse there . “ Do you have any idea how goddamn hot
you looked , spread out on that table like that ? “

Ryo moaned , eyes rolling back in his head as he thrust into the circle of
Dee’s tight fist . “ Fuck , I thought that guy was gonna cream himself more than
once , “ Dee went on . “ Ummm…Me too …”

Dee tried to kneel but Ryo stopped him , kissing him feverishly again . His
whole body shook with incredible tension ; Dee’s hand was so good but it
wasn’t enough, not nearly enough .

“ Dee , oh fuck , I w-want to go home , “ Ryo begged , pushing Dee away with effort .
“I need you to fuck me . “

Dee actually growled at hearing the word ‘fuck’ escape Ryo’s lips twice in the
same sentence . “ Then turn around , baby , and I’ll do you right here . “

Public acts of indecency , lewd behavior ...The warnings penetrated the sexual fog
in Ryo’s brain. “ No , “ he nearly sobbed . “We have to go home , please , now ! “


Ryo would not be persuaded . Shakily they stumbled to the nearest subway
station two blocks south , taking a semi-crowded car back to upper Manhattan .
As soon as the last passengers departed , Dee pulled Ryo onto his lap and began
kissing him again . They made out like teenagers , petting and moaning , bodies
building to a fever pitch . Ryo pulled back as he felt Dee’s hands slip into his
pants again .

“ Security cameras, “ he gasped . “ Dee , don’t –“

“Screw the goddamn cameras , “ Dee said through clenched teeth . He’d been hard so
long , his jaw was starting to hurt . “ They want to watch ? Let ‘em . “

But Ryo was insistent , again , and at the next stop several late night passengers
boarded to spoil the mood . Ryo hastily resumed his seat next to Dee , who sat ,
glowering , not trusting himself to touch his lover for the remainder of the ride .


Their stop mercifully arrived . Dee actually had to angle his hips away at
the turnstile , afraid the slightest pressure there would set him off . If he had
to wait this long to cum , goddamnit , he wasn’t going to do it in his pants .

Their neighborhood was active and alive , even at this late hour . They hurried
through the jostling crowds as quickly as possible . Thankfully their apartment
lobby was deserted as they rushed inside. Dee swore , impatiently banging the
elevator button, propelling Ryo inside as soon as the doors opened .

They came together again in mutual need before the doors even shut . Ryo
had Dee’s shoulders pinned against the wall , his hips yanked forward
to grind against Ryo’s crotch. They rode each other with hungry grunts
and muffled cries , breaking apart only when the lift deposited them on
their floor at last .

The hall was too long and Dee’s fingers too clumsy to pry their key out of
his skin tight black jeans . Ryo was practically climbing him , too , which
would have been really annoying if it wasn’t so incredibly erotic . With a last
curse, Dee got the door open , Ryo off his hip , and shoved them both inside.

“Thank god , “ Ryo panted , turning to face him . “ Let’s go to bed—“

Dee muttered something sounding suspiciously like ‘fuck the bed’. Next thing
Ryo knew , he was spun around , thrown over the back of the couch and had
his pants yanked down to his ankles.

“Blanket ! “ Ryo yelped . “ I need a –“

Dee swore again , hauling Ryo back so he could snatch their afghan off
the couch and hastily wad it under his groin to protect the upholstery.
Dee stepped on Ryo’s pants so he could pry one foot free , kicked his legs
wide and knelt behind him .

Ryo actually screamed , once . He stuffed his knuckles against his mouth ,
hoping to prevent the few neighbors that hadn’t already figured out that
the gay guys in 1014 were screwing , again . Dee’s hands were on his cheeks and his
tongue was in his hole and –ah , yes ! This is what he’d been dying for since
laying on that table in that disgusting , smelly little room …But god , Dee was
taking way too long—

“Just do it ! “ Ryo begged , biting his sleeve as Dee’s fingers penetrated and
twisted inside him . “ Get it in ! Get it in me please ! “

Dee stood , yanked his pants down one handed and replaced his fingers with his dick .

“Shit ! “ he grunted , as Ryo cried out , shoving his ass back like a hungry little whore.
With Ryo’s ass completely on display, Dee’s eyes were riveted to the fresh ink and
angry red skin of Ryo’s normally flawless lower back . He gripped those slim hips and
pounded away . Christ , this wasn’t going to last long , for either one of them .

“ Did you want it back there , baby ? “ Dee gasped . “ Did you want that big sonofabitch
to shove his dick up your tight little ass…in front of all of us …? “

“ No ! “ Ryo cried , spine bowed impossibly backwards . “ I-I wanted you to come
over and do it –make them all—watch—ah !” Dee lost it at that , nearly lifting Ryo
off his feet as he came with a howl .

Ryo actually beat him to it by a matter of seconds . It was a good thing he’d grabbed the
afghan , too . It felt like he emptied a gallon into the fabric , making his belly
a sticky , satisfying mess .

Perhaps minutes , or hours later , they came to . Ryo was boneless over the
couch , panting . It took all of Dee’s strength not to collapse on top of him ,
and irritate his reddened skin . After practically running all the way from the
subway station to their apartment , then giving Ryo the fucking of his life , Dee wasn’t
sure he could ever move again .

“I love you , Dee , “ Ryo muttered , face buried in the sofa . “ But …ohhh…I think
you killed me …”

“ Well , baby , “ Dee laughed , “ I love you too . And you may be dead , but you’re
still gonna have to carry me to the bathroom ! “

They lay in bed together soon after , clean and sated . Ryo stretched out naked on his
belly to keep the pressure off his tender back . He sighed as Dee’s hands stroked
his shoulders and neck .

“ God , that’s beautiful , “ Dee said quietly . He was mesmerized by the delicate design
against his lover’s pale skin . Gently he petted around the reddened flesh , caressing
Ryo’s buttock and thighs . He smiled as Ryo laughed at the ticklish sensation ,
wiggling slightly .

“ That’s the kanji for ‘Ai’ ; love ? “ Dee asked .

“ Umm hmm , “ Ryo said sleepily , eyes closed . “ The characters together mean ‘gay love’ . “

“ What about the fish ? “

Ryo smiled . “ That’s you , Dee , because you’re as precious as gold to me . And the
butterfly ; well , I guess that’s me . When I met you , I was reborn . “

Dee chuckled . “ That’s so sappy it’s beautiful , “ he teased , feeling incredibly grateful.

Ryo cracked an eye and stuck his tongue out . ‘ Brat , “ he smiled . He looked uncertain
then . “ Do you really like it , Dee ? It’s not too , well , girly ? “

Dee leaned down and kissed him . “ ‘Course not , Ryo . It’s gorgeous . Just like the
rest of you .”

Ryo beamed , and blushed . “ Thank you for going tonight . I just wanted to let you
see, every time we made love , how much I love you .I wanted you to have something
pretty to look at when you’re… umm…back there . “ He was red by the time he’d finished .

Dee’s smile grew . Back to the blushing and proper words again . That was his Ryo , alright .
And the one that had been unbearably turned on by the branding of a part of his body
no one but his lover would ever see ? That was his Ryo , too . How he’d gotten so
lucky , to have two delicious lovers in one man , he’d never know .

“ I already had something gorgeous to look at back here , “ Dee said , hands wandering
over the swell of Ryo’s buttocks . “ And when you’re on your back , I have your
beautiful face . “

“ You’re the one that’s beautiful , Dee , “ Ryo whispered , eyes dilating with lust again .
He turned part way and reached up to touch Dee’s face . “ The only one who gives me
everything I need . You’ve branded me , body and soul . I’m yours . “

“Jesus , baby , “ Dee groaned , letting Ryo pull him down for a deep kiss . Yep ,
he was one lucky SOB indeed….
