It's strange how freeing it feels to be with Ivan like this. For the first time in David's life, he's concerned about the present moment and not some future he has to have meticulously planned out. There's only him and Ivan and he wonders if this is how it's supposed to feel when he's with a partner. It's a feeling he wishes he could bottle to take back with him to Komarr.

His eyes remained closed as he focuses on the feeling of Ivan's hand, his kissing turning more sloppy the longer he strokes. Slow and steady and with a care David appreciates from the man. His fingertips press firmly into the man's back and he continues to mouth his pleasure against the other man's lips, only rocking his hips upwards when he can't hold himself back any longer.
