Summary: Skinny dipping.
Author's Notes: Inspired by a wallpaper I've been working on.
Vin thought he might die from the twin pleasures of Chris's kiss and the warm river water which cradled his body in its silken flow.
The water of Boiling River, heated by a hot spring on the river bank, caressed him, flowing over his skin like a lover's touch. Swimming in the river was a familiar pleasure, a known caress. The spirits of the wild rivers were his most frequent lovers, and sometimes just looking upon them, touching the waters, brought him to an arousal that started from his eyes and built until he had to touch himself to relieve the lonely ache.
But Chris's kiss, passionate and intense and real, brought more than just that ache. Chris's kiss, like the first warm breeze at the end of a hard winter, woke him out of slumber, drawing him out of solitude into a bright world of loving. Of deep knowing. Of sharing himself.
He moaned at that new pleasure and reached for Chris, his hands skittering over wet skin until he found purchase on the jut of hipbone, the curve of shoulder. Chris groaned and sank his hands into Vin's hair, licking into his mouth, inviting Vin to respond with his own passion.
And Vin did respond, he couldn't have done otherwise, pulling Chris close until there was no space for the river between them. No space for his spirit lover. Just flesh and heat and that touch of souls that he'd known with Chris since the moment they met.
In that touch, Vin found himself. Found a new life. Found love.End
