Love light Notes: 1. This story
was written in response to The
Lotrips Slash Wedding Ficathon Challenge. Orlando stood on the terrace of the beach house and watched the sunset. The sky was turning red, with glimmering trails of pink and scarlet chasing the fire of the sun as it sank slowly towards the horizon. He almost expected to hear a sizzle as it touched the placid blue stillness of the ocean. He smiled and shook his head at his whimsy. Not that it mattered - today had been a day for enchantment, for being happy and carefree and for dreams to come true. Today had been a day that he would never forget - the best day of his life…his wedding day. He sighed happily. What a day it had been. From the moment that he'd woken and breathed in the salty tang of the sea, he had tried to memorise every detail, every emotion. He had wanted to remember it all - a sparkling collection of sights and sounds, love and laughter. He closed his eyes. Music floated softly from the house and as the warm evening air whispered across his skin, snapshot memories of the day danced through his mind… …Dominic - his adorably chaotic best man - bringing him breakfast in bed and promptly beginning to worry himself sick that he'd lose the ring or forget his speech or some other catastrophe. Orlando had just laughed - gently reminding his friend that *he* was the one who was getting married and so he should be the one getting the jitters! …standing in front of the mirror to check his outfit - the pale yellow of his loose shirt complementing the white of his simple cotton trousers and woven espadrilles. Then his mum coming in and crying when she saw him, hugging him tightly and whispering how proud she was of her beautiful son. He'd shed a few tears himself then and that's how Samantha had found them a few minutes later, both with shiny eyes and dopey smiles. …walking down to the beach and stopping, choked with gratitude and delight, as he'd seen all of their friends and family gathered together to share their special day - and then getting a fit of the giggles when Billy had loudly complained about the very inconvenient places that sand could get when wearing a kilt. They had planned an informal affair with casual dress but Billy had resolutely insisted on wearing his beloved kilt! …but the one memory that he knew would never dim or fade and that he would carry with him always, was his first sight of Sean - the man that he intended to spend the rest of his life loving. He had been standing by the shore, the majesty of the wide New Zealand sky and ocean as his backdrop and Orlando was certain that he had never seen a more breath taking sight - not the scenery, stunning as it was, but the magnificence of Sean himself. He had chosen a similarly styled outfit to Orlando's own, with a plain white shirt over loose fitting trousers the colour of warm caramel. As Orlando had stared, a momentary breeze had ruffled his hair, the sunlight catching the shimmering blond strands and turning them to gold as Sean had smiled in welcome - his green eyes softened with tenderness and love. Orlando had known that his eyes reflected exactly the same emotions - all of the devotion and overwhelming love that he felt was plain for all to see. He'd moved across the sand into Sean's arms as if in a dream, burying his face in his neck and smiling his joy against the soft skin there. Then they'd stepped apart - but with their hands still linked - and, taking a deep breath, had spoken their vows before the people who meant the most to them in the world…. Orlando opened his eyes and his smile grew broader as he felt a familiar presence at his back and a pair of strong arms slipped smoothly around his waist. "Happy, baby?" Sean whispered, pressing a kiss to his neck. Orlando turned within the embrace and put his hands on Sean's shoulders, heavy muscles flexing beneath his stroking palms. "More than happy," he murmured and pulled Sean closer, drawing their smiles together in a long, sweet kiss. They'd kissed so many times, from brief brushes of lips that said 'hello' to deeper more brutal exchanges of breath in the throes of passion, but every kiss was special, every touch treasured, and this was no different. Orlando moaned softly as he sucked on Sean's tongue, entangling it with his own and then drawing it deeper into his mouth, savouring the heat and taste that was distinctly Sean. Another beautiful memory of their day. The kisses grew lighter and more playful. "How…about…you?" Orlando asked between tiny teasing pecks scattered across Sean's face. "Happy?" Sean nodded, his face alight with warmth and the corners of his eyes crinkling as he smiled. "Happy doesn't even begin to cover it, sweetheart." He cocked his head as he spoke, clearly listening as a new song began to play quietly in the background. He pulled Orlando closer and began to sway slowly in time with the gentle rhythm, humming softly to the melody. "I know I'm not always that good at saying the things that I should, baby. But I look at you…and then you smile at me," he whispered against Orlando's ear, "and it makes me realise just how lucky I am…how much I love you, Orli." "We don't need the words…you tell me that you love me a thousand times a day, babe - with every look." Orlando moved with the music and the solid heat of the body pressed so intently against his own. And it was true - every smile, every touch, spoke more of Sean's feelings than any words ever could. He smiled at Sean's enchantingly open expression - overwhelmed, as he had been countless times before, at the thought that this incredible man was his and that he was Sean's. Today had been a symbol of that shared love - committing themselves to each other in the very place that they'd first met, the place where they'd fallen in love. He drank in the sight of his husband - almost stumbling at the epithet - yes, this beautiful man was now his *husband*. "You look wonderful," he murmured as music continued to spill into the night. "You took my breath away when I saw you on the beach. Thank you for today…it's been perfect." "Thank you, baby - I've never been happier," Sean said, kissing Orlando's temple gently. "And I still can't get over Vig's speech…his poem…." His voice broke a little and he pressed another kiss to Orlando's cheek. "I know," Orlando nodded. "It was amazing…beyond amazing…." Viggo had been the obvious choice for Sean's best man as the two of them shared an especially close bond that had continued to deepen since filming had ended, though they were happy to let 'the prissy elf' into their friendship too, of course. When the time had come for the speeches, Orlando had felt his eyes grow hot with the prickle of tears as Viggo had read a poem that he had written especially for them. It was beautiful - a poignant expression of the love that Orlando and Sean shared but also a testament to their dear friend's affection for them both. As Viggo had finished, they'd pulled him into a joint hug and Orlando knew that he wasn't the only one with a tear in his eye. It had been yet another magical moment to remember of their special day. They continued to move together, swapping languid kisses and quietly singing snatches of lyrics as the song played to a close. Orlando smoothed his fingers through the silky strands of Sean's hair. "Everyone's gone and it's just us…." "Alone at last, eh?" Sean winked, though the look on his face held nothing but tenderness. "Tired, sweetheart?" Orlando laughed, shaking his head. "No…but I think it's time for bed." Today had been more than wonderful - a day to rejoice, to share with family and friends - but tonight was just for them. Now it was time to celebrate their love, this time with hands and lips and the press of skin on skin. Sean stroked Orlando's back and leant in, nipping at his ear before sprinkling butterfly kisses down his neck. "I think you're right," he breathed and started to walk them indoors, still locked together. Their progress was slow as they stopped frequently to kiss and caress, their clothes scattering haphazardly along the way. They were naked when they finally reached the bedroom, pressed together from chest to knee as they continued to kiss their way across the threshold. Orlando's breath caught when he saw their room - myriads of tiny lights flickered from a sea of candles, every surface twinkling with warmth and shimmering reflections. It was completely magical and Orlando was captivated. "You did this?" He whispered. "While you were outside," Sean said, his eyes sparkling in the candlelight. "I wanted to try to make tonight special…." The flames danced and swam for a moment as Orlando's eyes grew moist with tears. Just when he thought that he knew everything that he possibly could about Sean, this incredible and tender man did something else to surprise and enchant him. What an unbelievably romantic gesture - as if their day hadn't already been the most special day of Orlando's life…. "I love it…thank you." Sean's face was lit by the most beautiful of smiles. "It is special…because of you," Orlando murmured and then kissed the smile. He'd be happy to spend his whole life doing just this. Moving slowly, Orlando guided them backwards until he felt the bed against his legs. He lay back against the crisp linen and pulled Sean down to lie on top of him, his hands tangling in the short strands of silk at Sean's neck before stroking lower. Sean had the most amazing skin, so soft and smooth, and now tanned to a perfect bronze by the golden light of the Kiwi sun. He traced the long back muscles before stroking and cupping the firm globes of Sean's bottom, moaning as Sean's solid erection pushed against his own. The touch was electrifying, his whole body alive with the charge crackling along every nerve. His breath caught as warm lips mouthed hot, open kisses to his neck and gentle teeth nipped lightly at his collarbones. Then Sean pulled back, gazing down at him with a look of such feverish want yet still tempered with love. "I need you, baby…so much." Sean's voice was little more than a low growl that skittered across Orlando's skin and made his blood pound loudly in his ears. He nodded, panting as desire mounted like a flash fire burning through his body. He wanted Sean too, needed him now - needed to be possessed and made whole. He'd had other lovers in the past, was far from an innocent ingénue when they'd first met, but all of his experience had been nothing in the face of what he'd discovered with Sean. Sean was the most considerate, understanding, downright *skilful* and sexy lover that he had ever known. He had been helpless to resist the charisma and pure magnetism of the man. To the outside world, Sean was often quiet and almost shy but when he focussed all that power, that intensity, then Orlando was little more than tinder to the heat of Sean's flame…and he revelled in it. "Need you…." He whispered, pulling Sean closer and capturing his lips in a long kiss. He smiled in anticipation as he felt Sean reach under the pillow and drop a familiar bottle by their side - it looked like he'd thought of everything. "You have been busy…." Sean's answering chuckle turned to a gasp as Orlando opened his legs wider, forcing the solid heat of their straining flesh even closer together. Sean began to slowly kiss, nip and lick his way down Orlando's body - no area of skin was left unloved, Sean seemingly worshipping and cherishing it all until eventually his mouth hovered above the hardness of Orlando's weeping erection. Orlando could feel Sean's breath scorching him and lifted his hips, pushing upwards just as the hot cavern of Sean's mouth descended. He cried out in delight as his aching need was enveloped in wet heat - the touch of Sean's sinuous, skilful tongue to his cock-head wiping all coherent thought from his mind until he became nothing more than a mass of blissful sensation. He reached with shaking hands to cradle Sean's skull and forced his eyes open, the sight of those beautiful lips stretched wide around his cock almost making him come there and then. "Want *you*…more," he managed to mumble, though pleasure had practically robbed him of speech. With a nod of understanding, Sean slowly withdrew, his lips coaxing a final shudder as they played delightfully along the length of Orlando's pulsing flesh. Pulling away slightly, Sean reached for the lube and coated his fingers with the slick liquid. At the first knowing press to his entrance, Orlando cried out, relishing each delicious touch as Sean carefully stretched and opened his body for their joining. His hips shifted in time with the plunging motion of Sean's probing fingers until he was almost sobbing in need. He was ready; he needed Sean - the huge length of him pushing inside and making him complete. Sean carefully removed his fingers, always attuned and sensitive to Orlando's every need. He quickly smoothed some lube to his cock, a rushed intake of air signalling his own desire. "Okay, baby?" Sean murmured as he moved against the cradle of Orlando's hips, his hardened flesh resting at the entrance of Orlando's body, its hot tip sending a jolt of fire through him. Orlando loved this moment - the blissful expectation just before feeling all of that hot, hard flesh within him, taking and claiming him. But this time it felt different…somehow he just felt *more* - more alive, more in tune with Sean…he couldn't really explain it - it was like it wasn't just about physical pleasure or even about the love that he felt for Sean anymore. There was something else, some added dimension to his emotions. He felt that Sean was even more fully bonded to him than ever before now - this was it, this was right - Sean was his forever. "Baby?" Sean whispered again. "Okay?" "Always," Orlando moaned, his voice roughened by desire. For a brief second, Sean's eyes met his and time slowed. He felt open wide - everything he was, would ever be, right there for Sean to see - and all of his love and want and need was reflected gloriously back in a gaze the colour of polished emerald. Sean felt it too, it shone from him - *forever*. Orlando's breath left him as Sean bore down, his hard flesh breaching his passage as his mouth took Orlando's in a deep, lush kiss. Their tongues entwined, mimicking the delicious rhythm of Sean's cock moving within his welcoming body. The feeling was sublime, not purely the mind-altering pleasure of being joined so intimately, but the emotional connection, the bond that flowed between them - an extension of their love. Orlando lost himself in the sensations as they moved together, every touch, every thrust eliciting moans of joy or whispered words of encouragement and love. Eventually he could feel himself approaching the pinnacle and his breath hitched as a strong hand closed around his cock and a voice gruff with hunger urged him towards completion. "Come for me, Orli…come for me." Orlando clutched at Sean's shoulders, clinging on helplessly as his orgasm crashed through him, wave after wave of sublime heat charring his senses to ash. Above him, he felt Sean stiffen and shudder as he joined their shared ecstasy, a long lush groan of 'Orlando' echoing his release. Forever…. Long minutes later, Orlando found himself drifting in a hazy, almost dream world, his body replete and satisfied, the after effects of passion lazily rippling through him like tiny jolts of sizzling heat. He felt Sean move above him and then he was turned and cradled against a strong chest, his ear close to the steady, comforting beat of Sean's heart; there was no place on earth that he would rather be. He stretched languidly and cuddled more closely, one hand searching and interlocking with Sean's. He heard a faint chuckle and felt a kiss pressed to his hair. "Mmmm…" Orlando let out a long, happy sigh. He felt well and truly loved - his body and mind content beyond measure. Sean's hand was warm within his grasp and he rubbed his fingers lightly over the band of gold that Sean now wore - a perfect match for the one adorning his own finger. Sean squeezed his hand. "Forever, baby…." Sean knew…felt it too. Orlando nodded and smiled, snuggling even deeper into his husband's arms. Forever…yeah, that sounded just about right…. The end.
