That Beautiful Devil
Dutch was sleeping in the blankets beside me, a lance of sun touching his face, splitting through the tent flap and carrying sparkling dust motes that spun like crushed glass. It lit up his face like a warm caress. His hair was shining, in the light, blue black and curling, at the ends. A stray strand had fallen over his forehead, and I couldn’t help but gently stroke it back behind his ear.
He stirred, briefly, beneath my hand, moaned in his sleep.
“Shhhh…”
I watched his face relax beneath my fingers. I ran my fingertips over his brows, his cheek, his jaw, and simply marvelled that a creature as beautiful as this could possibly be mine.
Stubble darkened his cheeks, and I let my fingers linger there, to rub through the rough. My fingernails crackled. I simply peered down at him as he slept, at the smooth skin, the lack of lines around his young eyes. His youth really struck me then…and how lucky I was that I was allowed to be with someone so young, so utterly beautiful, when I was old, worn and…less.
His full lips were parted, relaxed in sleep, and I could feel his warm breath touching me. I breathed him in, as I watched him, I breathed in his breath and held it inside me; as if I could somehow hold him within me and never let him go.
I leaned in closer, and, as gently as I could, I kissed him. I kissed his thick bottom lip, so gently I barely felt it.
He stirred, again, and closed his mouth, his brows creasing.
I couldn’t help but smile, and I bent again to kiss his furrowed brow, to smooth it.
“Hosea…” he murmured, and his warm hand gently touched my back.
“Sorry,” I said, but I couldn’t stop smiling.
Dutch smiled too, but he didn’t open his eyes. He let his hand slide down my naked back to fall back onto the blanket. “Go back to sleep,” he said, and his voice was thick with sleep, deep and soft.
“I don’t want to miss this,” I said, and again, my fingertips went to caress his face. His eyes flickered open then, and he peered at me, squinting as the shaft of sunlight touched him.
“What am I missing?” he asked.
I chuckled and ran my hand through his hair. “Nothing…I just don’t want to…not be looking at you…”
I watched his face smooth into a smile, and felt my stomach lurch as his cheeks began to glow pink.
“You old romantic…”
I grinned at him stupidly and felt my own face burn. “It’s not my fault that god made you so utterly, breathtakingly beautiful, Dutch Van Der Linde…”
Dutch closed his eyes and sighed, through his nose. “You’re making me blush,” he said, then, faster than I was expecting, hooked his leg over my back and flipped us both, pushing me onto my back and laying on top of me. His naked body was pressed flush against mine, and I could feel the heat of his skin against mine, the moist of sweat and the mess we had made in the night and hadn’t wiped away fully, touching my skin.
“Dutch…” I chided.
“What?” he asked, leaning down to kiss me. It was a slow, deep kiss; his lips were hot and soft and I could taste his sour morning breath, but I didn’t care. It began as gentle kisses, to part, then to lean in again, then again, until we simply didn’t pull apart. Gently, he parted my lips with his tongue and touched mine.
I loved the sounds of our kisses, of our lips working each other’s…such a strange and foreign sound to me. And with the morning birdsong and the gentle breeze touching the trees, the music of our kiss was blissful, was magical.
Dutch pulled away from me, to peer down at me. His black eyes swiftly reached inside of me, striding straight past the walls he had battered down, to rest at the core. “I love you…” he said, and his voice was small, then, tentative, afraid.
I felt my heart lurch. “I love you too,” I said, and my voice came out strange, pushed up through the salty ball that had appeared in my throat.
I reached up and kissed him again, pulled him back down with me, my hand combing through his hair to hold him to me. And a kind of desperation gripped me as I kissed him, as I held him to me. I wrapped my other arm around him and pressed his body onto my own, suddenly and utterly terrified to let him go.
He must have sensed the change in me, for he pulled his lips from mine and looked down at me, his hand going to my hair, my face, to stroke and soothe me.
“Ok?” he asked me.
“No…” The sudden panic gripped me, then, and I reached up to clutch him to me, tightly.
“Hey, hey…what’s wrong?” he asked. I felt him kiss my forehead and hold me, and the feeling surged through me, fierce and terrifying and sudden…it was hot and terrible and far too huge to contain. I felt tears begin to gather, my heart begin to beat me.
“I…I just…love you…” I tried, but my words were simply too small to show him the giant waves that were beginning to crash over and drown me then. “I…please…just don’t leave me alone…please…” I found my arms crushing him against me as panic smothered me.
“Stop…” Dutch spoke gently, and pulled himself from my needy grasp. Gently, he moved himself to lay beside me and pulled me around so we were facing each other. He put his arms back around me and cuddled me against him. He kissed my forehead, my cheek, the bridge of my nose. “I ain’t ever leaving you old girl…shhh, you’re ok…its ok…”
I held onto him, and slowly, slowly, the panic began to ease.
Between forehead kisses, Dutch spoke so gently to me. “I love you too Hosea…I’ve got you…you’re mine…you’re safe…”
I felt myself melting into his arms and I wrapped my arms about him, my legs through his legs. Our hot and naked bodies were pressed so tightly together that we could almost have been one creature, there, one person, one soul.
I caught his face and pressed my lips against his, and Dutch leaned in and kissed me back. The world seemed to melt away to silence, then, to nothingness. All that was there in my world was Him…his lips, so soft and full, sliding against my own, his tongue so gently caressing and playing against mine. His stubble touched me, sending shivers of arousal to run up and down my body. I could feel him breathing through his nose, the sounds of his breaths getting louder as our kisses began to grow more fierce.
When we finally did pull apart, Dutch immediately bent to kiss my face again. He rubbed his nose against mine, gently, before meeting our lips together once more.
He kissed me deeply, slowly…it was a much different kiss than the hungry and frantic kisses we exchanged when we fucked…this was soft, hot, slow…this kiss was love, was safety, was a promise of Forever…
“Look at you…” he said, as he peered at me between kisses.
“What about me?” I asked.
Dutch smiled, his face flushed, sweaty and utterly glorious. “You are so…beautiful…”
I snorted a laugh. “Funny…”
“You are…you really have no idea how handsome you are, do you?”
“This is rich, coming from someone who looks like he’s just…clawed his way up from hell…”
Dutch huffed a laugh, fragrant and hot against my face. “Ain’t that supposed to be, ‘you just fell from heaven’?”
I grinned at him and swept the hair back that had fallen over his face. “No…not you…you’re no angel Dutch. You’re some beautiful fucking devil thats come to corrupt and save me…”
Dutch laughed, his voice deep and rumbling against my body.
“You’re not altogether sane, are you Old Girl?”
I grinned at him and stroked his face. “Not since I met you…”
Dutch grinned wickedly at me. “Well we can be crazy together then."
He leaned over to kiss me again, slow, sensual, loud and wet and perfect.
I could feel him growing hard against me, and I smiled into his mouth. “You just can’t help it, can you?”
Dutch smirked at me, his face utterly evil and sexual and wonderful. And he was mine…that beautiful devil was mine. And I’d never let him go.
