Ahhhhh!! I haven't written on this one in forever! And I wanted to finish it up too.

Dedicated: to my reviewers. All of you have been so patient with my slow updating and you still read it. It means a lot to me! I luv ya'!

(Rama and Griffith)

Griffith stared up at Rama, his mouth agape and eyes wide.

Rama splayed himself out on the bed. "Come here, I'm waiting." He resisted the urge to smirk and longed to know what was going through Griffith's head.

"You want to...Now?"

Rama did smile now. "You're so innocent, it's refreshing. When I take a lover it's not all about what goes on in the bedchamber. I want someone who I will care about and who would care about me. I need someone who's strong willed and maybe..." He rose, raising a hand to stroke Griffith's cheek. "Someone who is a little shy and innocent."

Griffith felt his face go aflame. Rama sounded so serious. "I-I'm not ready to make love."

"I know. That was never my intention tonight. I just want to hold you."

"B-but...Y-you made it seem like..." Griffith stuttered.

Rama laughed, "Come to bed." He pulled Griffith back with him onto the bed so that Griffith would rest against his chest. He gently brushed Griffith's hair with his fingers. "This isn't so bad is it? May I kiss you goodnight? Nothing more, just a kiss," Rama reassured.

Griffith pondered for a few minutes. "All right."

Rama grinned. Gently tipping Griffith's head, he met his eyes. He slowly brushed his lips against Griffith's in a teasing caress. When he felt Griffith's mouth open slightly in response he dove in. He nibbled and lapped at Griffith's lower lip before exploring that beguiling mouth with his tongue. He was ecstatic when Griffith returned the kiss, wrapping his arms around Rama's neck. Rama knew Griffith was his lifemate the moment he laid eyes on him. He wanted to please him. Then maybe Griffith would stay with him forever.

(Blue Eyes and Varian)

"Blue Eyes..."

"Please, I know what I'm asking. I've never been kissed by someone kind. Please," Blue eyes flung his arms around Varian's neck, his head tilted upwards.

Varian looked into those big blue eyes. After all the abuse the boy had endured couldn't he grant him that one wish? He cupped Blue eyes's chin in his hand and lowered his mouth.

It was only a brush of contact, but it made Blue eyes gasp. "Please," he whispered again. He needed this, for his bad memories to be replaced by this single moment. When Varian's mouth met his a second time, he parted his lips. He was rewarded by Varian kissing him deeply, causing a fire to run through his body. No one had ever made him aroused before. He knew this was special.

Varian didn't know what to expect as they kissed more passionately. He was pleasantly surprised as Blue eyes moved closer to him, their bodies touching. It had been a long time since he'd kissed anyone, but Blue eyes seemed to enjoy it. He was very responsive. He broke the kiss and asked, "Did you like that?"

"Yes," Blue eyes was practically breathless. "More kisses please!"

Varian chuckled and proceeded to do so.

(Griffith and Rama)

Griffith lay back in Rama's arms. Rama had made good on his promise with only one kiss. That kiss had left Griffith tingling all over. If he were Rama's lover he'd get kisses like that all the time. He looked at the man in question. Rama was sleeping peacefully, his smooth chest slowly rising and falling. Griffith had an urge to find out if that chest felt as good as it looked. He bit his lip as he studied Rama's sleeping face, and made up his mind. He brushed his fingers against Rama's collarbone, but jerked away when Rama twitched at the touch. Rama's eyes remained closed so Griffith continued. He ran his hands down the middle of Rama's chest. The skin beneath his hands was warm and soft. He experimentally ran a finger over a nipple. He felt Rama's chest vibrate as he moaned softly. He smiled and did the same to the other nipple.

Rama had been awake ever since Griffith first touched him. He had no clue what was going on in the boy's head. The little imp was unknowingly teasing him. He wondered just how far Griffith intended to go.

Griffith slowly stopped his exploration of Rama's body. He knew he wasn't ready for anything more. He also felt guilty for taking advantage of Rama's slumber. "Good night," he whispered, brushing his lips over Rama's forehead. He snuggled against Rama comfortably. Rama was right, it was nice.

(Blue eyes and Varian)

Blue eyes sighed as Varian pulled away from him. Varian had kissed him repeatedly for what had seemed like hours. Blue eyes never thought that he'd enjoy kissing anyone, but he liked it when Varian did. Varian's kisses made him feel warm and cared for.

"That's the last kiss for tonight. You need to sleep." Varian stroked Blue eyes's hair.

"More kisses tomorrow night?" Blue eyes asked with a shy smile.

"Blue eyes, you know you don't have to..."

Blue eyes sighed frustrated. "Yes I know. I'm not dumb. You told me I didn't have to many times." The next sentence he said with less confidence. "Maybe I like your kisses Varian."

"I just wanted to make sure I wasn't taking advantage of you." Varian pet Blue eyes's hair one last time. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Blue eyes listened to the spattering of rain against the roof. The scent of lilacs filtered through the window from the gardens below. Blue eyes moved to sit beside the window. He watched the storm continue. Thunder rolled low in the distance. Suddenly a flash of lightning cracked the sky, and with it, came memories...

(TBC)

I'm so evil with cliffhangers! Actually, I have no idea what Blue eyes's past should be (or his real name for that matter.) I'd love to know what you think should happen, so read and review please!!
