Roses Pack a Bite

A special thanks to Lori for the plot.


“Oww. I‘m sorry, Chance,” Kaylan apologized for the umpteenth time as he tried to pull his hand away from the sting, only to find it being held too securely. He was disappointed and frustrated that his last minute rushing had ended with him in this predicament. “I just wanted to do something special for Valentine’s Day.”

“I know you did, Copper. And I appreciate it, I really do.” Chancey took a moment to gaze tenderly at the naked man in front of him, then to the large bath tub filled with warm water; beautiful red rose petals floating on top. Next he let his eyes roam over the bottle of chilling champagne and two crystal glasses before turning back to peer closely at the fingers he was working on. It was slow going in the soft glow of the scented candles, but Kaylan wouldn’t let him turn on the overhead light for fear of destroying the romantic ambiance of the room.

Chancey gently pulled the last of two small thorns from his Brat’s left hand. He wiped off the few drops of blood and disinfected the several tiny puncture marks. “Maybe you can take a little more care in preparing your next surprise; like trying to avoid gripping the stems so tightly while plucking off the petals, my love,” he softly commented, kissing each injured finger one by one before taking his lover into his arms and licking away the lone tear that had slipped unnoticed by its’ owner down one cheek.

“What say we make use of this magnificent gift?” Chancey huskily murmured in Kaylan’s ear. He smiled when he felt a responsive shiver make its’ way down his lover’s body.
