Take It With A Kiss {SE}

- NATE -

i was standing on holy ground,
so heart don't fail me now

It would be a lie to say Nate wasn't excited for this, wasn't excited at the mere prospect of this day. Though he'd taken parts of shifts before, he'd never really let go of himself, never given over to the natural instincts. This is going to be something new for him. A deep chuckle rumbled through Nate, his face splitting in a wide grin. "I do know that." He leans in, slowly, haltingly, the action almost a tease in itself before he settles in close, lips pressed in against the attuned's pulse, the hand on his jaw shifting to cradle his head. "And I do need a refresher."

There's no need to draw it out then, not if they both know what needs to happen. Nate's teeth sink into his fiance, yet another mark littering his skin, the number only growing the longer their easy season stretched. A low groan sounds through him, his arms both moving to wrap tighter around Sunjata, holding him close.

Every time they end up like this, there is a single moment where Nate thinks maybe, this is the time he doesn't let go. The time he doesn't pull back, no matter what the consequences may be. It isn't, not by a long shot, not as he pulls away after a shorter bite than he would normally take. Length doesn't stop the hard kiss pressed to the mark, or the ones that follow, pressed against Sunjata's jaw, his cheek.

and even if the walls were falling down
it will always be us, this is holy ground
