Earlier in the evening, once he'd been sure Anatoly was set at the party, Lex had left the party again to collect the chess set from Jack's hut. He'd taken it to a secluded spot near Anatoly's yurt and set it up on a convenient stump, before returning to the party. A light snow had fallen since then, but Lex wasn't worried. It would add to the atmosphere.

After they'd put on their outerwear, Lex had retaken Anatoly hand and led them through the snow, answering all inquiries to where they were going with just a happy, but sly smile. Everything was going perfectly.

When they arrived in the small clearing of trees, Lex stopped and moved behind Anatoly, gesturing for him to enter first. The sight was ever more perfect then Lex could have planned. The moon shone directly through the trees onto the stump and the light dusting of snow made the pieces sparkle in the moonlight, especially the pearls set into the crowns of the kings and queens. "Merry Christmas." Lex whispered into Anatoly's ear softly, watching the man's reaction.

The temptation of Lex's throat could hardly be passed up, Anatoly thought. He made the most of the opportunity, first leaving a trail of featherlight kisses from Lex's earlobe down to his shoulder. He followed this with another nip of his earlobe, then a nip to the delicate skin just behind his ear and then a final one to his shoulder.

During all of this, they both had managed to get the boot off, and started to work on the second.

It was Anatoly who was doing most of the work with the laces on the second boot as Lex closed his eyes and bit back a soft groan. The teasing felt amazing and was driving him crazy at the same time.

When he couldn't take it anymore, he lifted one hand from the laces and reached behind him to lightly grip the hair at the back of Anatoly's head and turned his head to capture his lips in a rough kiss.

[chesspolitik]

In that moment, Anatoly forgot everything but the feel of Lex's fingers in his hair and the fire of his kiss. He hardly noticed when the boot slipped from his fingers; all of his attention was focused squarely on his desire.

He kissed Lex back with equal passion, wanting - needing more. More of his touch, more of his kisses, more of everything.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

Thankfully, the boot was far enough undone that it fell off completely when Lex turned around into Anatoly, just kissing him for a moment. When he finally pulled back, he kept his hand in Anatoly's hair as he took in the sight of the other man with bruised lips and darkened eyes. It was easily one of the most erotic things Lex had ever seen.

Finally releasing his hair, he put his hands on Anatoly's shoulders and pushed him back onto the bed. He wanted to touch and feel every bit of this beautiful man, and he started be straddling his hips.

[chesspolitik]

Taking a shaky breath that was half desire, half anxiety, he looked up at Lex, his lips slightly parted. Slowly, reverently, he rested his hands on Lex's chest, tracing patterns on his skin.

"I don't know what it is I've done," he murmured slowly, his accent much more noticeable than it had been all evening. If Lex kept kissing him as hungrily as before, he wouldn't be able to think, much less attempt speaking in English. "But it must have been something right, somehow, somewhere, to be having this, right now, with you."

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

Lex looked down at Anatoly, his gaze both soft and filled with awe. He honestly didn't know what to say to something like that, as he couldn't help but wonder if anyone in his life had ever felt that way about him. Yes, there was still a cynical part of him that wrote it off as just cheap romantic words, but he wanted to believe the passion that caused Anatoly's voice to be drowned in his accent. An accent that was music to Lex's ears.

"Likewise." Was all Lex could think of to say that wouldn't ruin or cheapen the moment, as he braced his hands on Anatoly's chest and leaned down to kiss him just as hungrily as before, then moving to nip and suck his way down Anatoly's throat, shoulders and down to his chest. It was electric and addicting and Lex didn't want to stop.

[chesspolitik]

Anatoly's hands moved from Lex's chest to his shoulders, gripping them tightly in his passion. Each touch was like a bolt of electricity straight to his groin, and it was driving him utterly mad. His previous anxiety was all but gone, vanquished in the heat of his desire.

"Lex," he breathed, his hips thrusting forward unconsciously. "Lex, please..."

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

It was the thrusting of hips that caused Lex to pause and look up at Anatoly with a curious expression, but he was only spurred on when he saw the blissful expression looking back at him.

He moved back up the other's body with an occasional touch and kiss until his lips were hovering over Anatoly's. He stayed that way for a moment as both of his hands moved between them to the fastening of Anatoly's dress pants. "Just tell me when to stop..." He said huskily before kissing him and undoing the pants with much practiced ease.

[chesspolitik]

"And if I don't want you to stop?" Anatoly looked up, his voice raspy with need. His English was gone, as was his restraint. He cupped Lex's cheeks with his hands, pulling him down into a fierce kiss, biting then sucking at his lower lip.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

"Then lay back and let me work..." Lex left control of the kiss to Anatoly as he worked on opening his pants then tugging them and his underwear down past his hips. One hand explored the hair that covered Anatoly's groin while the other wrapped his penis in a loose fist.

[chesspolitik]

Anatoly moaned against Lex's lips, his hips lifting in response to the hand around his cock. If he hadn't already been so achingly hard before, that touch would have been more than enough.

He cupped the back of Lex's head, leaving a trail of kisses from his lips to his jawline and back to his lips again. Each contact between them was bliss, and he didn't ever want it to stop.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

Lex slowly stroked his hand up and down, occasionally tracing his nails gently along the sensitive skin, as he closed his eyes to soak in every bit of Anatoly's touch. Lex had always been a bit of a control freak and the control had had over Anatoly at the moment was just as addicting as his kisses.

After carding his hand through the coarse hair around Anatoly's cock, Lex couldn't help himself as he reached down to his own pants. It took all his concentration to maneuver the button one handed with Anatoly touching him like that.

[chesspolitik]

Lex could ask him anything and he'd agree if it meant those marvelous hands of his would keep touching him. He was slowly coming apart at the seams, and for once, it didn't matter. He trusted Lex, he felt safe with Lex. Nothing else mattered but the two of them.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

After finally releasing his own cock, he sat back up and just looked down at Anatoly spread out underneath him, his hands moving at a slow matched pace on each of their cocks. It was one of the most beautiful things he'd ever seen. Lex was unable to stop the smug smile that came over him as he felt how relaxed and how trusting Anatoly was under his touch. He couldn't remember anyone being this way with him, not even Helen.

Suddenly, out of no where, he moved down to lay on top of Anatoly, one hand buring itself in his long curls as he kissed him roughly, his free hand wrapped around both of their cocks, stroking them both with the same slow rhythm, that he was fighting to maintain in the face of his own arousal.

[chesspolitik]

Anatoly opened his eyes and caught Lex's gaze. He drew a shuddering breath, his hands gripping the sheets. "Please," he murmured, wanting more, but not having breath or enough brain left to articulate this desire.

Lex's lips were on his again and he groaned, kissing him with every bit of passion he could summon. Between the hand back in his hair and the pleasurable friction, he was quickly coming undone.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

"Oh Tolya..." Lex murmurs against Anatoly's lips as his strokes become harder and faster, as he can't contain his own arousal anymore.

Watching Anatoly come undone under him has a power effect, but he maintains that last bit of control as he says just a bit louder. "Come on Tolya...Let go... Just let go Anatoly...." Then he kisses him hard, biting down on his lower lip and getting a decent grip on his hair, anything to push the Russian over the edge.

[chesspolitik]

Whatever restraint he had left disappeared with those words, and he completely surrendered himself to Lex's ministrations, unable to think of anything but how utterly amazing his touch was. With a strangled cry Anatoly came, his fingers digging sharply into Lex's back.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

The cry, the fingers, everything about the beautiful man under him looking so completely open and unrestrained is what caused Lex to come moments after, his own cry silenced as he captured Anatoly's lip with his, his hand still pumping slowly as they both rode it out.

When it was over, Lex fell bonelessly to side on the bed beside Anatoly, taking soft, deep breath. He'd had alot of more exciting and adventurous sex before...but something about that simple hand job wore him out to his very center.

[chesspolitik]

Anatoly, for his part, was completely and utterly spent. This whole night, from beginning to end, had taken all sorts of marvelous turns he'd never expected, and it was all catching up to him now.

He murmured wordlessly and turned, slinging an arm around Lex's waist. In a few moments, he had drifted off to sleep, more content and relaxed then he'd been in quite some time.

Hours later, it was the sun shining through the window that woke Anatoly. He stirred sleepily, his arms still around Lex.

Lex. He caught his breath for a moment, the memory of last night flooding back to him. Smiling, he pressed a light kiss to Lex's shoulder, not wanting to wake him if he still was sleeping. This morning, life was fine.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

Lex had spent a few moments stroking Anatoly's hair, before he too had fallen into a deep contented sleep, fingers still wrapped in his curls. The most content sleep he'd had on the island in six months.

It wasn't the kiss that woke Lex from his dozing. It was the rough stubble on Anatoly's cheeks, so unfamiliar to Lex. His eyelids fluttered open and it took him a moment to come awake enough as his small sleepy frown turned into a soft smile. The hand that had somehow remained in Anatoly's hair all night, came down to rub against the hair on the Russian's cheeks, fascinated with the hair as much as the beautiful man beside him. "Good morning..."

[chesspolitik]

"Good morning," Anatoly murmured, turning his head to brush his cheek against Lex's hand. He smiled affectionately, catching Lex's free hand and bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss. "Did you sleep well?"

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

The rough feel of Anatoly's cheek sent a shiver down Lex's spine. Once his hand was kissed, he traced his lips with his fingers, as if comparing the soft skin to the rough stubble. Lex chuckled softly and leaned forward to give the other a gentle kiss. "Best on the island."

[chesspolitik]

"I slept well too," Anatoly said after the kiss, tenderly stroking Lex's cheek. Whatever this was, he was not going to rush too quickly or over-think things. He was going to take each moment as it came, enjoy what was given and what he was able to give. Anything else, and he risked losing this wonderful thing.

"I don't think I remember the last time I slept so well." He held Lex's hand to his chest, tracing his knuckles with his fingers.

[capable-of.livejournal.com]

Lex couldn't agree with that sentiment more. He had no riches for people to be after and no father to chase away the people Lex tried to get close too. The fact this was happening was enough for him. It had been a long time since he allowed himself to feel this content.

He leaned into Anatoly's touch, turning his head to kiss his palm. "I don't think I could think of a better way to wake up either." He searched Anatoly's eyes, looking for any regret from last night. When he didn't find any, his smile grew that most more real. He could lay here forever with one hand on Anatoly's chest and the other stroking his stubbled cheek.

[chesspolitik]

As loathe he was to move, nature's call could hardly be avoided. With a reluctant sigh, he untangled himself from Lex's arms.

"I'll be back," he promised as he hurried slipped on enough clothes to manage the necessary trip outside. The sooner he left, the sooner he could be back under the covers with Lex and they could enjoy this lazy morning.

He opened the door and stared at the immense wall of snow blocking the way out. The snow was still falling heavily and didn't appear to be stopping anytime soon. Ruefully, he shut the door and turned to face Lex.

"So much for that."
