Love Through the Ages Arc Part 1
Pharaohs and Concubines
The water was cool, perfect for the hot day. Duo waded into the water, enjoying the coolness as he stepped deeper into the pool. Looking down, he studied his hand under the water, splaying his fingers and turning his hand back and forth. His eyes traced the path to his wrist, then his forearm. A single dark spot marred his skin just above his wrist bangle and he smiled in memory of how his skin came to be darkened.
Losing himself in various thoughts, Duo cupped the water and lifted it to his skin, gently cleaning himself. He considered taking the jewelry off momentarily to clean himself better, then decided against it. Only one other person would ever take the liberty of removing his jewelry, and he himself did not like to do so without reason or permission.
Ripples of water alerted him to another presence coming up from behind him, but Duo wasn't concerned. No one dared to enter the baths but one man, and no one would ever dare to defy this man.
Arms slid around his waist, lips caressing his shoulder briefly before hovering by his ear. "My Duo..."
Duo smiled, touching the hands on his waist. "My Pharaoh," he breathed, leaning back.
"Have you been here a long time?"
"I arrived not too long ago," Duo replied with a smile, cupping the water and guiding it over his Pharaoh's arms so that he could gently clean the darker skin. His hand lingered as he took in the sight of very different skin tones, just as the Pharaoh's lips caressed just behind his ear. Tilting his head, Duo turned to look at the man behind him, drowning for a moment in the dark eyes.
Heero pulled back slightly to look at his concubine, taking in the slight smile that graced beautiful lips. Unable to resist, he leaned down to kiss Duo gently.
Duo took the liberty of pulling away after a moment. "My Pharaoh, the sun has not yet set."
"And?" Heero asked, letting his lips linger along Duo's jaw. His thumb caressed Duo's hip as he nipped along Duo's skin.
"And we shall be seen."
"I've sent them all away." Heero nuzzled his concubine and Duo closed his eyes to enjoy the touch. "Or do you want to defy me and pull away?"
Duo's eyes snapped open. "Never!" he gasped. "I could only wish to be with you, always! To be touched by you, or even just watched by you-"
"Precisely why you cannot be with me always," Heero cut him off. "You are a temptation, your skin so fair; you would distract me without a word or even a glance, and distract those around me as well."
Duo turned and let his fingers trail up Heero's arms until he could slide his hands behind the young Pharaoh's neck. He gently massaged. "The day is only half gone and you are already tired," he said, although he did not question what had happened during the hours between Heero's rising from bed until now.
"Your touches will soothe it all away." Heero's eyes traced Duo's jewelry, colors that enhanced Duo's eyes, his hair, items that told everyone that Duo could not be touched by anyone but the Pharaoh himself. Most importantly however, jewelry that Duo was willing to wear, and liked to wear to show that he belonged to the Pharaoh, jewelry that he loved to wear so that he knew he belonged only to the Pharaoh. Heero's eyes traced over Duo's pale arms, following his hand as he touched soft skin. He paused at the dark mark, turning his head to study it, his eyes narrowing. "Who dared to touch and mark you?" he snarled in a low voice.
Duo smiled. "You, my Pharaoh, or did you forget what we did last night when you accused me of tempting you with my body while I fed you sweet red grapes?" Duo daringly tugged at a strand of Heero's hair before leaning close to whisper. "I can do to you what I did last night to remind you-"
Heero smiled and leaned his cheek against Duo's head as he pulled his concubine close. "Your offer is tempting...but not what I had in mind."
"Oh?" Duo asked as Heero pulled away. He watched the muscles ripple as Heero sluiced water over himself, careful not to catch his hands on his own jewelry. He touched the bangle he wore on his upper arm, a larger, less decorated version of what Duo wore on his wrists. "Turn your back to me."
Duo obediently turned. The Pharaoh's hands caressed his bare back, tracing up his spine and neck and making him shiver. Heero pressed close behind, pulling Duo firmly against him as he traced fingers down the front of Duo's body. "Heero?" Duo whispered softly.
Heero knew that Duo rarely called him by his name; it was something that wasn't allowed, and it was something that Heero allowed Duo to do only when no one else was present. He liked the sound of his name spoken by Duo. "Call my name again," he urged quietly.
"Heero..." Duo sighed as the Pharaoh's hands caressed him, stroking him into hardness. "My Pharaoh..."
"Our skin is so different, my Duo," Heero whispered. It was something that Heero liked to talk about, something that he seemed continually fascinated with. "Your skin is so light, so fair..."
"Because I stay covered in the sun for no one but you would see my body," Duo whispered. Although the attire for concubines rarely covered their entire body, Duo burned easily in the sun. With Heero's possessive personality, he forbade Duo to show more than his hands and face when in the sun or in public. Not liking the results of having a darker face and hands, Duo had taken to simply covering himself up. The only times he sunbathed, soaking in the heat of the bright sun's rays, was when he was alone with his Pharaoh, feeding him, or sometimes, being fed.
"It is not because I want to hide you," Heero whispered, gently stroking his concubine.
"I know, my Pharaoh," Duo murmured. "I am happy with the way things are."
"Oh?" Heero paused in his stroking. "Should I stop then, if you are happy?"
"No," Duo pleaded. "Please, no."
Heero kissed the bare shoulder and resumed his stroking, occasionally cupping the twin sacs beneath.
"I will dirty the water," Duo whispered.
"Nothing of you is dirty," Heero answered, stopping his motions and wrapping his arms in a tight, possessive embrace around his concubine. "My Duo...follow with me..."
"Yes, my Pharaoh," Duo followed Heero out of the water, smiling at the sight of their joined hands. Then, Heero pulled him close, letting their mutual hardness rub together as he gently kissed Duo.
"To my room," Heero whispered against Duo's lips. "And I will show you just how good I felt...with what you did to me last night."
"You are not needed elsewhere?" Duo felt obligated to ask in case Heero had been distracted.
"Right now..." Heero gently covered Duo so that no one would see his naked body when they left the baths. "Right now, I need to be nowhere but with you, my Duo."
Duo smiled as Heero secured the clothing so that his hardness was not visible. "My Pharaoh?"
"Yes?" Heero clothed himself quickly before pulling Duo close. Duo brought Heero's hand up and he kissed the knuckles in a loving motion.
"I love you," he whispered.
Heero smiled and demonstrated that he felt Duo was his equal by returning a kiss to Duo's knuckles.
"I love you too, my Duo."
