“Damon! Wait!” Sam called out as he followed behind me. “Where are we going?”

“Not too far. Somewhere safe,” I assured him, still making my way into the woods. “Somewhere I think you’ll like.”

“But it’s dark outside! How could it be safe?” Sam pressed a hand against my back.

“Do you trust me, Sam?”

“Of course, I trust you.” Sam nodded. “I trust you more than anything. You know that.”

“Good.” I smiled as I took Sam’s hand into mine, soon coming to a stop. “Here we go. This is a perfect spot.”

“What makes this spot perfect?” Sam asked, as he nervously glanced around.

“Look up.”

Sam did as he was told, looking up toward the night sky. I heard him let out a surprised gasp, a hand flying up to his chest.

“The sky… it’s so gorgeous at night…,” he murmured. “All the stars…”

“Isn’t it beautiful?” I added, a smile coming over my face as I looked up, too. “It’s one of my favorite views. Just the way things look between the trees…”

“It’s so perfect…” Sam sank into my side, leaning against me. “Thank you. For showing it to me.”

“I want you to see every beautiful thing, Sam. All of it,” I said, before looking down at him, taking in every line of his face. “I want you to see how I see everything. I want you to see how I see you.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“This is what it’s like looking at you, Sam,” I started, pulling him even closer. “Even from the moment I first met you. It was like… looking at something I couldn’t find the right words for. I just knew you were special.”

“That’s…” Sam started, already shaking his head. “I don’t… that’s not…”

“That’s not what?”

“It’s just hard to believe,” he whispered. “That’s all.”

“Are we really back to this?” I let out a disapproving sigh. “Do you really need me to remind you, again, of how much I want you? How I feel about you?”

“Yes,” Sam whispered again. “I want you to remind me of how much you want me. I want to feel how much you want me, Damon.” He looked up at me, his hands resting on my shoulders. “Make me feel it, Damon. All of it. I want to never be able to forget it. I want it to stay with me forever.”

“I think I can do that.” I pressed a soft kiss against his forehead before I arranged the blanket against the forest floor, making sure every corner was neatly unrolled. I gently pulled him down to the blanket, not stopping until his back was against it, his eyes looking up at mine with a soft expression.

“Come here,” he murmured, wrapping his arms around me, making it so I was pressed close to him. We were locked in a kiss again, the cool air of the night giving us some relief from the heat that was brewing between us, my body aching to be naked against his.

“Take off your clothes,” I commanded, already reaching for my own shirt and belt buckle. It wasn’t long until we were both naked under the stars, our clothes in a messy pile beside the blanket. When Sam’s back was resting on the ground again, I pressed a kiss against his neck before gently sucking the skin between my teeth long enough to leave a mark.

Moonlight filtering through the trees was enough for me to see that I’d accomplished my mission. I smiled to myself as I repeated the motion several times across Sam’s bare chest, gingerly taking his skin into my mouth, not stopping until I knew I’d left my mark. Sam whimpered under me, writhing with my every touch. Surprisingly, he didn’t try to stop me or even attempt to, his hands staying in place by his side.

But maybe that was because he didn’t want me to stop.

I did the same thing up and down Sam’s thighs, marking them as my own, knowing he’d be absolutely covered in hickeys the next morning, the little love bruises in a smattering pattern across every inch of him. It wasn’t until I reached his cock that I noticed any sign of protest, Sam’s hand coming down toward my head, softly pushing it away from his skin.

“That one might hurt a little too much…,” Sam murmured.

“Do you trust me?”

“You know I do.”

“Then trust me with this, too.” I offered him a small smile before I delicately took the side of his shaft between my lips. He winced as I applied more pressure, before letting out a loud, pleasurable gasp, his body shivering under me.
