The Wedding

Chapter 3 – The Wedding Night

Dominic held Elijah’s hand as they sat in the back of the taxi. Mal had insisted that he drive them to the hotel once the reception was over, but Elijah had declined his offer. He wanted Mal to join in the celebrations, and have a drink or two like everyone else. Mal had looked hurt at first, until Elijah suggested that he join Billy in the morning in driving them to the airport. That had done the trick; Mal had smiled as he graciously accepted the offer.

So… now it was just the two of them… no big send off… just a few hugs, loads of thank yous, a few tears, and then they were on their way.

They sat quietly in the back seat. The taxi-driver knew exactly who they were.

“You two got married today?” He queried as he pulled away from the Pavilion.

Elijah looked at Dominic, and replied softly. “Yes, we did.”

The driver nodded. “That’s cool… that’s cool.”

Elijah grinned in response. “Yes… yes, it is.”

This will be in the papers tomorrow, Dominic thought. Fucking guaranteed. Taxi drivers and hairdressers… biggest fucking gossipers on the planet.

Nevertheless, Dominic squeezed Elijah’s hand and winked at him, and then draped his arm around his shoulder and pulled him in closer. If it had been Billy or Mal in the driving seat he would have kissed Elijah right there and then, without any hesitation, but he felt the driver had enough gossip for now, and besides… it wouldn’t be long before they reached their hotel, and there they would have all the privacy they needed.

It had been a wonderful afternoon, and the reception had flowed smoothly, with good food, plenty of drink, and exceptional speeches.

Dominic smiled to himself as he recalled Billy standing up and telling everyone his and Elijah’s life history from their first meeting in 1999, to this present day. Everyone tried not to look bored, but the speech did go on a bit. Good old Billy… he never did have the knack of telling a good story.

And Mal, lovely, gentlemanly Mal, who had only just come back into their lives a few weeks ago. He was a stranger to most of the guests gathered there, but when he spoke he had their undivided attention, and it was obvious to everyone that both Dominic and Elijah had a special place in his heart.

Then there were the “thank you’s”, and there were many….

….To Dominic’s parents, his brother and partner. Elijah’s mother and sister, and his brother Zack, who had only flown in that morning. Their close families, people who had supported them through difficult times over the past few years.

And to their friends… Peter, who had given Dominic a full time job so that he could obtain a work visa, allowing him and Elijah to legally settle in New Zealand. Peter’s wonderful partner… Fran, and their children. Viggo and Orlando, the only other two members of the fellowship who could make it to their wedding, both juggling very busy schedules to attend.

And lastly… to Sala, Danae and Lynne. Perhaps the only three people in the room, who really understood just how important this day was to Dominic and Elijah, and all three of them were moved, along with everyone else, when Dominic stood up to make a short unexpected speech himself.

“You know…” Dominic began a little hesitantly as he became aware of everyone’s eyes upon him. “Every single one of you here knows just how much I love this man.” Dominic looked down at Elijah and smiled before continuing.

“But it hasn’t been easy for Elijah, not at all… not by a long shot, and I’m not talking about his illness, which we all know about. What I am talking about is me. I’m not the easiest of people to live with,” he looked at his parents. “Mum, Dad, I’m sure you can vouch for that?” He then smiled when they nodded before carrying on.

“But Elijah, my wonderful Elijah…” Dominic took hold of Elijah’s hand. “… has always managed to see the good in me, even when I was blind to it, and I can tell you… I was blind for a very long time.”

Dominic paused for a moment as his thoughts raced back to October last year when he thought Elijah had died in his arms. Then he continued.

“As you know, I almost lost Elijah last year, a thought that still wakes me in the middle of the night. But when that happens, I reach out for him, and when I feel him there, beside me, I feel hope surge through my veins again.

Because. Well… because… Elijah is my hope… and I’ve told him this a million times before, but never has that word held more meaning to me that it does right now.

To come from the point of losing almost everything, to having it back… and more, is a very humbling experience.

All of you have been there for us, and some of you, in more ways than one.” Dominic looked at Danae as he said this.

“I want to thank you all, every single one of you… but most of all…” He turned to look at Elijah again. “Most of all… I want to thank you, Elijah… for loving me.”

Elijah stood up and hugged Dominic tightly, as everyone clapped and raised their glasses.

“You said no speeches…” Elijah whispered into Dominic’s ear, not wanting to let him go.

“I know… and I lied…” Dominic smiled at Elijah. “You should know me by now, Lij…” and then he kissed him again, to another round of applause.

It had been the best day… a perfect day, and as they sat in the back of the car Elijah couldn’t help grinning to himself every time he thought of the words. ‘I’m married’. Christ, how long had he wanted that?

He had always wanted it, ever since falling in love with Dominic. But he had been prepared to accept that marriage would never be a part of their lives, and it was something he had learnt to live with, until that bolt out of the blue came, when Dominic asked him to marry him. That day, that fucking perfect day, like this one, would be etched on his memory, forever.

“Ok, Lij?” Dominic asked as he rubbed his hand over Elijah’s thigh, wishing that they were at the hotel already.

Elijah smiled at him, and nodded.

“We’re nearly there…” Dominic was convinced the driver was going the long route, but of course he knew he wasn’t. All he wanted to do was take Elijah into his arms, for the first time that day, without anyone else around, and kiss him passionately and wantonly and enjoy the feel of his body pressing against his own… oh God, yes… Elijah’s body… so taut… and so warm… responsive to his touch… to his mouth and…

“What’s it like?”

“Ummm… what?” Dominic blinked at Elijah’s question, his thoughts momentarily put on hold.

“The hotel?”

“The hotel?” Dominic looked at Elijah as if he had just spoken Japanese.

“Dom…?” Elijah laughed at Dominic’s confused expression.

“Oh, yeah… the hotel.” Dominic grinned at Elijah. “Right… well, it’s small… and quiet… and… and… ummm... Well, I meant to tell you this earlier Lij, but it’s… single beds only.”

“Fuck off…” Elijah laughed.

“No, seriously… Bill and I slept in single beds last night.”

Elijah screwed up his face, not knowing how serious Dominic was, and then he said quite matter-of-factly. “No problem, we can push them together. We’ve done it before.”

“Nope,” Dominic shook his head, enjoying the tease. “They’re bolted to the floor.”

Elijah laughed again. “You’re fucking kidding me, right?”

“No, Lij.” Dominic laughed along with him. “Going to have you in my bed, snuggled up close, with nowhere to go…sounds fucking fantastic!”

Elijah stared at him for a moment before giggling. “I don’t believe you for one fucking second, Dom!”

“So you don’t want to be snuggled up close to me then, eh?” Dominic put on a hurt look. “Kind of liked the idea of you wriggling underneath me…”

Elijah giggled again… and then they both glanced at the taxi driver and then out of the window as the car pulled into the hotel car park.

Dominic waited at the reception desk. He knew that their suitcases had been transferred to the honeymoon suite, but he wasn’t telling Elijah that… he wanted it to be a surprise. He fucking loved surprising Elijah. He smiled inwardly as he remembered Elijah’s face when he saw their wedding rings for the first time. That had been a little secret he had kept for a long time, and it had been so worth it. When he had received Elijah’s repaired bracelet of hope back from Lapland, the box it arrived in contained the pewter threads that had been removed. The threads were delicate and fine, and from the second he saw them, Dominic knew what he was going to do with them.

Dominic looked at his ring… the fine embedded threads caught the glow of the lamplight. It had been such the perfect thing to do. Totally perfect. Dominic looked over at Elijah who was sitting on a chair waiting for him. He was looking at his own ring, twirling it around with his fingers.

“Congratulations, Mr Monaghan…”

Dominic’s attention returned to the receptionist who was smiling at him.

“I hope you’ll both be very happy.” She handed him the card key.

Happy… you have no fucking idea! Dominic watched Elijah rise from the chair; he was smiling as he approached him.

Christ, you’re fucking beautiful, Elijah… how could I not be happy when I have you… and I do, I have you from this day onwards, and forever.

“Dom?” Elijah stood in front of Dominic. “Got the key?”

Dominic held it up as he continued staring at Elijah.

“Come on then!” Elijah grinned at him. He looked at the room number on the key in Dominic’s hand, and then turned for the stairs. “Race you!”

Elijah left Dominic standing at the bottom of the stairs as he ran up them, two at a time. Dominic glanced over his shoulder at the receptionist who was still looking at him before following Elijah.

He slowly made his way to their room, and saw Elijah waiting patiently for him.

Christ, I love you so fucking much…

“Come on, Dom…” Elijah was almost dancing on the spot as he watched Dominic fumbling with the key card.

“Sorry, Lij…” Dominic knew his hands were trembling, and he didn’t know the fuck why.

“Here, let me…” Elijah placed his hand over Dominic’s and went to take the key, but Dominic took his hand instead and pulled him in into his arms and began kissing him. Just the feel of Elijah’s mouth opening under his, made his body weak. God, Elijah felt so good, he tasted so good…Dominic began losing himself in his man, once again… so easily done…

“Evening…” the strange voice made them pull apart. Elijah looked over Dominic’s shoulder at the unknown person who disappeared around a corner. Dominic’s forehead rested against Elijah’s shoulders, his eyes were closed.

“Come on, Dom… let’s go in…” Elijah took the key as he stepped back from Dominic. He swiped it through the lock, pushed the door opened and walked into the room.

“It is a fucking suite!” Elijah laughed, as he slipped off his jacket and removed his tie. He placed the items over a chair, and then quickly removed his footwear before looking around the room. It had been prepared for them, with lamps illuminated, and a magnum of champagne sitting in a cooler on the coffee table. “I fucking knew it… you kidder, Dom!” Elijah turned to Dominic who was still standing in the doorway.

“This is great… fucking perfect!” Elijah went over to Dominic and started un-knotting his tie.

Dominic watched him… studied Elijah’s face… that beautiful face, eyes so large and blue you could fucking drown in them.

“Love you, my Lijah…” Dominic then whispered.

“And, I love you, too,” Elijah smiled back. He dropped Dominic’s tie to the floor and then went to turn away. Dominic grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

“I mean… I really love you…” Dominic’s face was serious, and Elijah couldn’t help but frown a little as he smiled at him.


“I know you do.” Elijah paused. “You ok, Dommie?” He slipped his arms around Dominic’s waist, and placed his mouth against his neck, placing a soft kiss there. “Thought you would be pinning me to the floor by now and ripping my clothes off…”

That little piece of humour fell flat.

“Dom?” Elijah frowned again as he looked into Dominic’s eyes, they were piercing as they looked back at him, and Elijah would swear that he could physically feel Dominic’s emotions running through his body as it trembled against his own…

And his heart melted. His Dominic… always appearing so tough on the outside, but on the inside he was soft, and so incredibly vulnerable.

“It’s ok, Dom. I love you….” Elijah’s voice was soft, almost a whisper. He stepped back a little and took Dominic’s hands in his. “I love you so much… do you know that? You have made me so happy today…well every day.” Elijah kissed one of Dominic’s hands. “Not just this day… but especially today… you always make me so fucking happy, Dom…” Elijah paused and looked into Dominic’s eyes again. “Sorry… it’s not coming out right…”

Dominic couldn’t help but smile a little, as he pulled Elijah to him again, and held him, tightly, not really wanting to let him go. This man he loved so much, this man in his arms was all he had ever wanted. Nothing else mattered to him. Nothing.

He looked into Elijah's face and pushed away a lock of hair from his forehead, before taking his hand and leading him over to the table. He began to uncork the chilled bottle of champagne, but his hands were still trembling, and he was not doing a very good job of it.

"Here, let me." Elijah took the bottle out of Dominic's hands and expertly released the cork. He then quickly poured the bubbling fluid into the two waiting crystal flutes. He offered one to Dominic who looked at it before shaking his head. He took Elijah's hand into his instead.

"I’ve been a fucking mess in the past Elijah, sometimes not knowing who I am, and what the fuck I’m doing… but you… you mean everything to me.”

Elijah placed his glass down on the table and looked into Dominic's face, knowing that Dominic needed to say this.

“Do you know what you do to me, Elijah?" Dominic's voice was almost a whisper now. "In here." Dominic placed Elijah's hand under his jacket and over the middle of his chest. "Do you know what you do?"

Elijah bit gently down on his lower lip as he watched Dominic speak.

“You make it beat faster, every time I look at you. Every time I touch you. You do that to me Lij, all the time…in here." He tapped Elijah's hand against his chest. "When I can't see you or touch you, I miss you. When you are not with me, I feel like I am nothing. Nothing...it’s so fucking hard to explain."

Elijah continued watching Dominic, his own heart beginning to race at Dominic's every word.

"And today..." Dominic paused and looked at the ring on Elijah's scarred finger. "Today has been the most important day of my life, and I guess I just really wanted you to know that. It has been so fucking fantastic, Lijah. And you’re fantastic, and when I think back to last year, and how close I was to losing you… well… well. Fuck… I’m going to start fucking crying. I just love you so fucking much, Lij. So much that it hurts at times… and… well… I guess that’s it… … I really just wanted to let you to know."

Dominic fell quiet, and Elijah smiled at him wondering if Dominic could hear his own heart hammering in his chest.

“I know, Dom,” he finally said. “Of course I know, I’ve always known, and that's why we are both here now, today. We’re together, forever, aren’t we?" He turned and picked up the champagne flute again and offered it to Dominic. This time he took it, but his hand was still unsteady.

“To us…” Elijah clinked his glass against Dominic’s

"To us…” Dominic repeated… “Fucking look at me," he chuckled softly, as he wiped his eyes dry with his other hand.

Elijah watched Dominic raise his glass to take a sip, but all he managed to do was spill the champagne over his hand.

"Shit!" Dominic's curse was almost silent as Elijah took the glass off him. He shook his hand to get rid of the liquid, but Elijah suddenly caught it, and without hesitation raised the wet hand to his mouth and slowly and deliberately began sucking the bubbling fluid off Dominic's fingers… one at a time.

Dominic froze to the spot. He didn’t take his eyes off Elijah's mouth as he sucked in his fingers deep inside his mouth, wrapping his warm tongue around them, his eyes never leaving Dominic's face for a second.

Jesus…, fuck, Lij.

Dominic's thoughts now all centered on that warm lapping tongue.

My God…the love he felt for this man was incalculable.

Dominic watched Elijah lick him clean, before he pulled his fingers free.

Elijah lifted one hand and tilted Dominic's chin. "You ok, now, Dommie?" he asked, his eyes still full of concern.

Dominic nodded and whispered. “More than ok, baby.” A small smile creased the side of his mouth as looked at Elijah’s shirt and began undoing the fiddly buttons.

Elijah began doing the same. He removed Dominic’s jacket and then his fingers worked deftly and swiftly, and he finished unbuttoning Dominic first. He ran his hands under the soft silk shirt, feeling the firmness of Dominic's body under his fingertips. He felt so warm, and so inviting.

Dominic finally finished undoing Elijah’s buttons and pushed the garment off his shoulders, pulling his arms free. Then he tugged Elijah to him feeling the warmth of his skin pressing against his own partially covered body.

Their lips met, and tongues entwined, and for a few brief seconds this was all that Dominic needed. To feel Elijah in his arms again, skin against skin, mouth covering mouth, tongue meeting tongue. He felt like he was in heaven… there was no better place to be.

As they kissed Elijah pressed his hardening groin against Dominic’s, a small sigh escaping his lips as he did so which Dominic swallowed up as their kiss deepened.

God, Elijah… Dominic felt like groaning as Elijah pressed against him again, grinding against his own growing arousal.

Elijah lowered his hand and began unbuckling his belt, never taking his mouth away from Dominic’s for a moment, but his buckle was stubborn, and eventually Dominic stilled his progress.

“Let me do it, Lij…” Dominic’s voice was husky as he slowly backed Elijah towards the wall, their mouths never separated as Elijah took small steps, until he could go no further.

Dominic kept his mouth over Elijah’s as he lowered his hand to cup his firmness and what he felt sent a longing shiver through his body. He expertly released Elijah’s belt and undid the button and unzipped him. Elijah’s trousers slipped to floor, and he stepped out of them quickly, their kissing never stopping.

Then Dominic pulled back and looked at Elijah's half closed eyes. He ran his hands through Elijah’s hair and then down the smoothness of his body letting them glide over his skin, before dropping to his knees. He buried his face in Elijah's boxers, and felt Elijah’s cock press against his cheek - the heat of it could be felt through the thin cotton fabric.

Dominic hooked his thumbs over the elastic pulled the boxers down, releasing Elijah from all restraints, and Elijah stepped out of them, his whole body tingling in anticipation, his hair falling forwards as he looked down at the top of Dominic's head.

… and he waited….

Dominic looked up. Fuck, how can anyone look that good? Fucking beautiful. Would there ever be a day when he didn’t think that?

Fucking, never.


Dominic wrapped his arms around Elijah's legs and ran kisses up and down the insides of his thighs. This made Elijah's body sink a little against the wall, as his anticipation continued to build. He was longing to be touched… and sucked, and licked… God, he wanted Dominic’s mouth on him right now… but he felt Dominic pull away again.

“Dom…” Elijah’s voice was quiet, but heavy with want and need. Dominic looked up at him again and saw that his face was a mask of expectancy.

Dominic returned his attention to what was in front of him, and he gently cupped Elijah's balls, which hung loosely beneath his erection. Dominic felt the weight of them as they nestled in his hand, and he marvelled at the softness and silkiness of them – this, the most delicate, and sensitive part of Elijah's body.

And just the thought of holding Elijah like this was fucking incredible; turning him on even more… if that was possible.

Then Dominic turned his eyes to the hardest part of Elijah's body and saw his cock glistening in the low light. Dominic brushed his thumb over the head, sending a shudder through Elijah's body… and then he opened his mouth and took Elijah in. He heard a small gasp from Elijah as he felt him rise onto the balls of his feet and then down again, making his cock slip deeper inside Dominic's mouth.

"Oh...Dom..." Elijah whispered, as he closed his eyes. He could feel his body being worked on, lavishly and hungrily. Dominic's mouth and tongue were going to send him towards oblivion quickly… so fucking quickly…

Dominic’s hands snaked behind Elijah’s buttocks, gripping him more tightly, as he continued working on the cock filling his mouth. His mouth and tongue sucked Elijah in, tugging and pulling at his hard flesh, and all Elijah could feel was an incredible golden rush. Everything inside him was firing downwards into his groin at what felt like a million miles an hour, and he knew he wasn’t going to be able to last for very long as he felt a powerful orgasm building like a wave.

Dominic felt Elijah's body tensing, as his fingers weaved through his hair, gripping one second, releasing the next, but he did not falter with his mouth and tongue, and kept up the delicious friction that was driving Elijah over the edge.

Then… Elijah came… and the intensity of it caused his knees to buckle and he fell forward onto Dominic's shoulders, letting out a long groan as he did so. And as Dominic felt Elijah's hot salty fluid hit the roof of his mouth, he drank it down, greedily, knowing that he would never get enough of this man, not ever, not as long as he fucking lived.

Elijah shakily pulled himself back a little from Dominic and sought out his mouth and kissed him hard, tasting himself on Dominic's exploring tongue.

"Love you… fucking love you…" Elijah murmured, he eyes were closed as he moved his mouth over Dominic's face. "Want you... want you, Dommie. Want you in me."

Dominic couldn’t help smiling as he stood up. Elijah's arms were still draped around his neck, his orgasm having left him feeling totally boneless.

"Fuck me, Dommie," Elijah whispered again into Dominic's ear as Dominic got to his feet. “Make love to me."

Dominic laughed quietly at Elijah's insistent requests. He was usually so quiet during love making, hardly ever uttering a word. "Come on then, beautiful..." he said as he went to unhitch Elijah's arms from around his neck, but Elijah held on tightly.

"You want me to fucking carry you?" Dominic laughed again, as he realised there was no way he was going to prise Elijah off him.

"Come on, then." Dominic placed his hands under Elijah's thighs, crouched down and lifted him up. Elijah immediately wrapped his legs around Dominic's waist. Elijah was heavier than he looked and Dominic slowly made his way into the bedroom, banging into the wall once or twice on the way. Each time he did so Elijah buried his mouth into his neck and kissed him, whispering “Make love to me, Dom… make love to me…”

Dominic finally reached the bed, and fell onto it with Elijah underneath him. They both looked at each other, and then Elijah looked down the length of Dominic's body, suddenly aware that Dominic was still dressed.

He quickly sat up and began unbuckling Dominic's belt as Dominic slipped off his shirt, and kicked off his shoes and socks. The bedroom was dimly lit by the sitting room lamps shining in through the open doorway, but it was enough for Dominic to enjoy the sight of his lover’s sleek body in front of him.

"Have I ever told you that you’re beautiful, Elijah?" Dominic ran his hands over Elijah's shoulders as Elijah’s fingers continued working on his trousers. His erection was hard, and begging for release, and Elijah's fumbling hands were all but undoing him. Finally the belt fell open and Elijah pulled down the zip freeing Dominic's cock. It looked hard and flushed.

Dominic slipped his trousers off and kicked them to the floor. Then he knelt on the bed in front of Elijah. "See how much I fucking love you, Lij? See how much?"

Elijah reached out and wrapped his fingers firmly around Dominic's cock, using his thumb to wipe away the wetness that had gathered there.

“So fucking much…” Dominic placed his hand over Elijah’s. “Feel it, Lijah? “

Elijah looked into Dominic’s face… so intense… so involved… so totally in love with him…

“God, come here…” Dominic pulled Elijah to him, and began kissing him again, placing his hand behind his head, holding it in place, so that his tongue could delve and explore, tasting the very essence of Elijah’s exquisite mouth.

“Christ, you fucking kill me…” Dominic pulled back, breathless, his lips throbbing from the intensity of their kiss. “All the fucking time….”

He quickly got off the bed and picked up his travel bag, finding the lube. Then he crawled back onto the bed, lowering himself onto Elijah, trapping their cocks between their hot bodies. Elijah shifted a little underneath him, causing Dominic to moan at the delicious friction.

Dominic coated his fingers with the cool lube, and as he pushed his hand in-between Elijah's thighs, Elijah parted them. He closed his eyes as he felt Dominic's fingers searching… and then penetrating. Dominic's lips found his again, and Elijah opened his mouth and welcomed his tongue.

Dominic took time preparing Elijah, as he always did, enjoying the hot tightness that gripped his fingers. And Elijah felt himself beginning to grow hard again, his cock pressing against the flat of Dominic's stomach, and every time that Dominic moved his body on his, a small groan left his lips as their cocks touched.

Dominic finally pulled back, and moved his knees between Elijah's thighs, opening him up wide. Jesus, just looking at Elijah lying there, all submissive, was almost too much for him to fucking bear. He squeezed more of the lube onto his fingers and coated his cock, his own strokes adding to the intense desire he felt building deep inside him.

Dominic lowered himself, took hold of his cock and pushed in… slowly… and the tightness that enveloped him made him want to claw the sheets. Elijah wriggled underneath him, finding the right angle, feeling Dominic filling him, stretching him wide, and it was like nothing he had ever felt before, because this love making was different. Different… because from today they were one.

Dominic reached for Elijah's shoulders and pulled him up. As he sat back on his heels, Elijah came to rest on his lap, he remained buried deep inside him, and this angle of penetration made Elijah gasp, because every thrust hit home, causing his breathing to hitch. The sensations he was experiencing were almost beyond bearing.

Dominic moved into a sitting position, bending his knees, one each side of Elijah. Elijah moved to get comfortable. Fuck, Dominic was in deep… so deep it was taking his breath away. He gripped Dominic's arm with one hand, and with the other he began to stroke himself because he couldn't not go through this without being touched.

Dominic began moving in and out of Elijah, slow, long thrusts. Each time he re-entered Elijah he could feel him bearing down taking him completely in. And in he went, so deep and so fucking tight, and hot, and fantastic… fucking unbelievably fantastic.

Eventually Dominic lay back as he felt his need increasing and the familiar pressure beginning to build. Elijah remained sitting on him, and every thrust he gave him drew a low moan from Elijah, whose eyes were closed, mouth slightly parted, hand working on his own erection.

And Dominic couldn't take his eyes off him, this picture of beauty impaled on his body.

Impaled… Jesus, fuck… that thought sent another ripple of ecstasy through his body, and he began to move faster, his body demanding it as his cock buried deeper and deeper inside this man.

And then Dominic saw Elijah come. He felt the body stiffen on his, and just the sight of Elijah becoming lost in his own pleasure made Dominic thrust harder and faster until he felt his own release building.

Downwards… everything… everything was being sucked downwards into his groin… an urgency seem to take over him, like never before….

“God… Lijah…Lijah…” Dominic squeezed his eyes closed, as his breathing became erratic, and then he gripped Elijah hips hard, as he looked for that release… Jesus, he was sure he had never felt it like this before…

“…LIJ!”

Dominic’s orgasm rushed through him, and he couldn’t help crying out from the intensity of it all. He gripped Elijah even harder, as his body jerked inside him, and the over-whelming sensation of release was such that he felt his body soaring, and he wondered if he would ever come down.

But of course he did…

And ,when he was finally spent, he released his grip on Elijah’s body, knowing that he had probably bruised him, but he couldn’t help it, he had literally lost all control.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked up at Elijah, who was smiling down at him, his eyes huge in the dimness of the room.

"Wow!" Was all Elijah could say at first. “I mean – fucking wow!” He shook his head to get his hair out of his eyes and then looked at Dominic again, and grinned. “That was some fuck.”

Dominic laughed out loud at this statement, and taking hold of Elijah’s hands, they interlocked fingers.

“You’re something special, you know, Elijah…?”

Elijah smiled, and then looked down at the sticky fluid on Dominic’s torso. “Want to take a shower with me?” he asked, his eyes glinting wickedly.

Dominic blinked hard… and then sat up, cupping Elijah’s face in his hands. “Lead the way, baby,” he said.

*

The sheets were cool against their hot damp skin, as they finally settled down to sleep, but Elijah was still too much on a high to close his eyes just yet.

“Do you feel different, Dom?” he asked as he snuggled into Dominic’s embrace.

“Different, baby? How do you mean?”

“I don’t know… I just kind of feel different. Everything seems different… even our love making felt different.”

“Hmmmm…?” Dominic buried his nose in Elijah’s damp hair breathing in his scent. “I think so… yeah…”

“Today was so special, wasn’t it Dom? I loved today…” Elijah shifted a little more, and Dominic hugged him closer. “Today was the best day ever…”

“It was, baby… it was,” Dominic agreed. “And only special because you were there…”

“We’re always going to be together aren’t we, Dom?”

“Till death do us part…”

Elijah smiled, totally content. He turned his body so that he nestled in closer to Dominic’s… he let his fingers trail over Dominic’s chest.

“I never thought you would ask me, you know.”

“Baby…?” Dominic could feel his eyelids becoming heavy.

“To marry me… you never seemed to want it…”

“I’ll always want you…” Dominic placed a kiss on the top of Elijah’s head, he could feel sleep descending on him rapidly. It was always easy to fall asleep quickly with Elijah by his side.

“What made you ask me, Dom?” Elijah asked again… “What made you change your mind…?”

Dominic mumbled something in reply… then his breathing slowed, he was fast asleep.

Elijah smiled as he looked at his sleeping lover.

“Love you, Dom…” he kissed Dominic gently on the mouth before turning onto his back. “Love you for making my dream come true…”

Just read the whole series.
I'm such a sucker for a romantic story!
The intensity of the feelings made me cry, so I'm still sitting here with wet cheeks.
BTW: I added you to my friends list because I don't want to miss out on anything else you write!

I read the first chapters a while ago, but managed to speed read my way through the rest of it this evening (from the stinger attack till the end).
Wow, as an intensive care nurse, I can safely say the amount of accuracy in describing the ARDS and the recovery from this was spot on!
I sobbed my way through it and very much identified with Lynne, in the way she becomes personally involved and starts taking care of both Elijah and Dom. A nurse is not supposed to get personally involved, but it's hard not to in a case like this (and then I'm not talking about the feeling we all have that we know these people we write about).
Are you a nurse (or a doctor)?

So wonderfully romantic...sigh...just loved your *in-love* Dominic. Its their wedding day, all dressed up, fancy hotel...then Elijah says "race you." That and "single beds" cracked me up.

Thanks for such a great and fitting Valentines Day story.
