Excerpt:
Darachiel frowned, lowering his head a little as his thoughts swirled. However, he soon had to raise his head again as Julian's fingers brushed beneath his chin. Oh, just the touch alone made Darachiel's hairs pleasantly stand on end.
“Do you want to explore a little?” Julian offered with a kind smile. “I don't think getting to know each other a little better will hurt. If for nothing else, it'd at least pass the time this rainy day.”
Darachiel felt like he was short circuiting a little with the rush of emotions surging through his body. “I... Julian... You make me...”
“It's okay,” Julian gently insisted, his fingers still on the other's chin. “It's okay to feel what you're feeling. I don't know what you do as angels, but this is okay to do as humans.”
Darachiel just swallowed and nodded his head, feeling heat spread slowly through his body. “W-We do things a bit differently, but I've been around long enough to know what you humans do, too. It looks rather messy, but... entertaining...”
Julian laughed out lightly at the phrasing. “Yes, well, I guess sex is certainly entertaining enough, but we certainly don't have to go there today. We can start things nice and slow, if you want. I don't want you to feel forced or afraid. Being with someone else like this, allowing them this close, is about trust.”
Darachiel modded his head, searching the other's eyes. “Then can we try some kissing?”
“Of course,” Julian agreed easily as he brought his hand around to cup the other's cheek. While Julian's face was somewhat scruffy, Darachiel's skin was nice and smooth to the touch. After just a few moments of gazing into each other's eyes and steeling themselves, Julian leaned in to tenderly press his lips along the angel's.
