Sweetest Sin

"So...no one's coming tonight?" Adrian asked in a quiet voice. Though he hadn't believed anything Oliver had said earlier about his 'so-called' lover, Adrian somehow needed reassuring. And when Oliver slowly shook his head, Adrian let out a breath he hadn't even known he was holding. "That was mean as hell of you." Adrian eventually said quietly, finally admitting just how much Oliver's words had affected him.

"I'm sorry." Oliver said, scattering small kisses all over Adrian's face. "You did deserve it though for all the heartache you've put me through these past few months." Oliver murmured, biting at Adrian's lower lip lightly. "Especially this morning." He gave a deep sigh.

"I know. I'm so sorry." Adrian said hoarsely, cupping Oliver's face in his palms. He'd almost ruined the best thing that had ever happened to him. He'd been such a fucking idiot. "I hate thinking about what I did to you. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?"

"Christ, I've never felt so much for one person before. And I've never hurt in the way I did when you said what you did this morning." Oliver's eyes were suspiciously bright.

"I'm an asshole. I..."

"That you are." Oliver kissed Adrian lightly on the lips, seeing how regretful and miserable he looked and hating it. "But you did blow my mind not too long ago like never before, and then fed me a meal to die for so... I can forgive you." Oliver laughed softly when Adrian rolled his eyes. "How are the kids?" He asked quietly.

"They're very well. Shipped them off to Paris when they kept asking of you." Adrian said with a shamed look. "Sorry." He saw the hurt look that flashed across Oliver's face and hugged him tightly...too tightly, but Oliver didn't complain. "I'm so, so, sorry." He groaned, pressing his cheek to the top of Oliver's head, breathing in his scent.

"Why?" The anguished curiosity in that one word couldn't be masked.

Adrian sighed and released Oliver. "When Donna died, I told myself I didn't deserve any happiness. You make me happy Olly. So in effect, I didn't deserve you. It was the most stupid decision but..." he shrugged.

"You're such a stupid fucker." Oliver whispered, wanting to hit Adrian and kiss him at the same time. But instead, he turned his head to press a kiss into Adrian's palm, which still remained on his cheek.

"I thought it made sense at the time." Adrian said quietly. "But when I watched you walking out of my life..." Adrian had a faraway look in his eyes that actually communicated just how terrified he was at whatever thought was running through his head... "I just couldn't have that. It felt as if my chest had been cut open and my heart was being yanked out. You are my heart Olly. And I can't live without you. I did try but...see where that left me."

They sat in silence for a while till Oliver broke it with a question. "Are you ready to do this now?" He asked in a small voice. There was a note of fear in his voice. It gave Adrian no pleasure to hear it. Hell, Oliver couldn't even look Adrian in the eye. "'Cause I'm really scared." His voice was scarcely a whisper, but Adrian heard it.

"Don't be." Adrian turned Oliver's face by the chin to face him and then leaned forward to kiss him...a soft and gentle caress. "I've never been more ready for anything in my life."

"I love you Adrian." Oliver breathed. "So much."

"I know." Adrian said in that throaty voice that never failed to make Oliver hard. "That love gives me strength, Olly. I'm lost without you." He leaned his forehead against Oliver's. "And you know it." Adrian added in a whisper.

"Try not to break my heart again please." Oliver husked and then sensually licked at one corner of Adrian's mouth, drawing a moan from him. "I'm not that strong." He moved his mouth to Adrian's ear and then licked the outer shell.

"Fuck." Adrian moaned as his eyes fluttered close.

"I can't take it." Oliver sucked his ear lobe into his mouth.

"You have my word." Adrian gasped. "But you're one of the strongest people I know." He added huskily and then promptly growled when Oliver began to slowly...maddeningly, dip his tongue into his ear, mimicking the act of sex. Adrian was completely aroused. "Jesus, Olly..." Adrian's voice held a subtle warning note. He opened his eyes to look at Oliver, his eyes moving down, as if by magnet, to Oliver's erect cock. "Oliver, I don't want to hurt you." He groaned even as his hand moved down to wrap around that pulsing flesh, his thumb rubbing slow circles against the leaking tip. Adrian loved the erotic sound that fell from Oliver's lips. A sound that shot directly to Adrian's cock. Fuck, he wanted to bury himself deep inside Oliver again but he knew that fucking Oliver again so soon after the rigorous sex they'd just had would only result in Oliver getting very sore. And Adrian didn't want that. "You have to stop."

Oliver looked down at Adrian's hand wrapped around his cock and smirked. "Sure you want me to?" He breathed, taking Adrian's lips in a fierce kiss. "I want you, Adrian. You've starved me long enough." He rasped. "Have any idea how close I came to demanding a fuck when I saw you four days ago?" Adrian saw the determined fire in Oliver's eyes and knew that he couldn't stop Oliver from doing what he'd set his mind on doing. He didn't want to. "And even then you looked like shit." Oliver tore Adrian's under shirt down the middle and latched onto a nipple.

"Oh fuck..." Adrian's eyes closed as his head fell back in pleasure. His sexy boyfriend was making it very difficult to stay unaffected. He was so hard his cock was beginning to fight behind the zipper that confined it. The sight and feel of Oliver's erect and leaking cock wasn't helping matters. "How did you know where I was by the way?" Adrian opened lust-glazed eyes to give Oliver a curious look.

"I've got my sources." Oliver mumbled as his fingers went to Adrian's zipper. "Just don't ever bother to go into hiding again. Up." He instructed and waited whilst Adrian lifted his arse.

Oliver pulled down Adrian's jeans, together with his boxer briefs to his knees and then moved up to line his hole with Adrian's pulsing cock. He didn't need any lube as he was still slick from the earlier oil and Adrian's cum. Locking eye on Adrian's, Oliver pushed just the tip inside his tender ring, drawing a whimpering gasp of need from Adrian.

"I'm never going to let you go, Adrian. I hope you know that." Oliver rasped, twining his fingers into Adrian's hair.

"I'll die before I allow that." Adrian responded huskily, reaching around Oliver to grip his cock. Then with bated breath, he held himself steady as Oliver began to slowly sink down his throbbing length. "Oh fuck..." Adrian groaned as if he were in pain. The feel of Oliver's tight heat around him was so good he would have gladly remained in there forever.

Oliver's legs shook as the thick crest of Adrian's cock pushed inside him, stretching him. "Damn, I do love your cock..." Oliver gasped as he impaled himself on that massive cock, keeping his eyes open despite the urge to close them in pleasure. He licked his lips, drawing a moan from Adrian whose dilated eyes followed Oliver's tongue. "But that's not why I'm not letting you go, in case you're wondering. I can't live without my soul. And you are my soul, baby." He felt Adrian's balls against his arse. "Ohhh my God." Oliver bucked, a rough moan emerging from his throat.

"I love you Oliver." Adrian looked so overcome with emotion. "I love you more than I could ever put into words. This is forever, I promise you."

Forever with Adrian? Oliver smiled, eyes filled with joy, lust and love. What more could he ask for? "I won't have it any other way." Oliver whispered as he started sexily gyrating his hips, working Adrian with exquisite fervor. "God, I can't have enough of you." He whimpered brokenly, closing the gap between them to kiss Adrian with every ounce of love in him.

And even as both men rocked against each other languidly, slowly building up to that exquisite orgasmic bliss, they couldn't be more grateful for having each other. They both knew in their hearts that they were indeed together forever.

Epilogue: Five years later...

"Seriously Dad, he won't say no." Fourteen year old Josh laughed as he looked out of the window. "Relax."

"What if he does?" Adrian groaned.

He really didn't know why he was so scared. But he just was. What if Oliver turned down his proposal? The past five years of being together had been pure bliss. Adrian sometimes felt as though he were high on drugs. He felt on top of the world...as if he could conquer anything with Oliver beside him. The feeling was almost euphoric. Oliver did that to him. Yes, they had their share of arguments and fights like any other couple but their love had grown stronger and stronger over the years. Oliver was his world. Adrian had decided to make their relationship legal. Though their relationship was very strong, Adrian felt that was the only way he could completely have Oliver as his. He was finally ready to take that plunge but...he was terrified. Not because he thought he was doing the wrong thing. Hell no! Adrian's problem was that he was scared of rejection.

Adrian could picture Oliver saying something like... 'We are happy as we are now. Why change it?' Adrian didn't want to hear anything like that. Josh, Pearl, his mother, Jason, and Oliver's parents knew what Adrian planned on doing that day. Oliver had been out of the country for two weeks on business and was to come back home that afternoon. Upon seeing how panicky Adrian was, Jason had insisted on picking Oliver from the airport himself, to give Adrian some time to compose himself. It hadn't worked. Adrian never thought asking such a simple question could be so terrifying. He'd never had to ask Donna because it had been assumed that they would get married. They'd simply planned and done it. This time however felt so...different, important and scary...and Adrian was dying of anxiety.

"They're here." Nine year of Pearl screamed excitedly when she saw Jason's car pass through the gate.

They'd all missed Oliver so much. That was the longest he'd been away from home. He'd travelled to India to handle the work of a big client. He usually travelled on business for a maximum of one week. He would just see to the main work and leave the rest to his subordinates. His latest job had however been a major one. Oliver therefore had to stay longer. Adrian had insisted he travelled on his private jet but Oliver hadn't thought it was necessary as he was going to be away for a whole two weeks. Adrian and the kids had been so miserable at Oliver's absence that Adrian had planned to fly to India with the kids to see Oliver, had it become necessary for him to stay longer than the two weeks. He couldn't be happier Oliver hadn't had to.

"Careful, Princess." Adrian called out to Pearl but she didn't slow down at all as she ran to where Jason had parked his car.

They lived in a house that Adrian had purchased when he'd started dating Oliver. It was just as big and classically beautiful as the house he'd shared with Donna. The only difference was that it didn't have that magical garden the other one had. Adrian hadn't sold that house though. It was being used as a guest house and was virtually always fully booked due to that spectacular garden.

"Dad, you're sweating." Josh's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm so gonna laugh at you after all this." He chuckled.

"Shut up Josh." Adrian growled as they both stared out the window at Oliver carrying a laughing Pearl on his back. Mark, who was following them with Oliver's bags, was laughing too. Their laughter was so infectious, father and son laughed too. "Okay, here goes..."

When Oliver entered the foyer, his eyes went straight to Adrian's. He couldn't help but notice how tensed he looked. But he also couldn't help but appreciate his man's sexy look. Only Adrian could manage to make the casual attire of shorts and t-shirt look stunning. The man looked hot in anything. He seemed to be getting even sexier as the years went by.

"Welcome back Uncle Olly." Josh said, skipping towards Oliver.

Oliver tore his eyes from Adrian's with difficulty and helped Pearl down from his back. "Hey Josh." He grinned as he hugged Josh. "I can't believe I won the bet." Oliver laughed when Josh groaned.

Josh had bragged that he was going to get to the end of a particular game before Oliver's return. Oliver rightly assumed that Josh hadn't succeeded since he hadn't called him whilst he was in India to gloat about his success.

"Just give me till tomorrow morning." Josh said with confidence. "I will defeat that silly giant and get to the end. I missed you, Uncle Olly." He added with a wide grin.

"Me too..." Pearl screeched, hugging Oliver."

"You two have no idea just how much I missed you." Oliver drew Josh into the hug. "Hope you were good for Daddy."

"You know we were." Josh grinned. "Just as we know that this particular bag is filled with stuff for us." He said, grabbing the handle of Oliver's big rolling duffel bag and pulling it out of the hand of an amused Mark. "I'll take that Mark. The stuff in here is for Shorty and I." He said and then promptly rolled his eyes when his sister immediately protested at being called shorty.

"Josh..." Oliver admonished, but then couldn't help the smile that brightened his face as he watched Josh and Pearl easily maneuver the bag up the stairs. Of course he'd informed them when he'd called them from the Indira Gandhi International Airport the day before that his big duffel bag was filled with stuff he'd gotten for them. "Please take the other bags to the bedroom, Mark. Thanks."

He turned his eyes onto Adrian who looked almost frozen in the middle of the foyer. God, he'd missed him so fucking much. Two whole weeks away for home...from the love of his life...from Josh and Pearl who he loved as if they were his... Never again. Next time, he would either go with Adrian or come back home in between. He never wanted to put himself through such torture again. Oliver started towards Adrian.

"Hey." He whispered when he got to Adrian, his hand moving up to cup his cheek. Adrian's eyes fluttered close as he turned his face into the caress.

"Hey." He pressed a kiss into Oliver's palm.

"Are you alright?" Oliver asked softly. At Adrian's nod, he smiled. "I missed you so much."

With a groan, Adrian dipped his head and took Oliver's lips in a kiss of such gentleness that it made Oliver melt inside. Quivering in response beneath the gentle onslaught, Oliver kissed him back with everything in him, moaning as their tongues tangled in a fast dance. How the fuck had he survived for two weeks without these lips, Oliver thought as he lost himself in the kiss. After what seemed like hours, they came up for a much needed air.

"Next time I'm going with you." Adrian growled against Oliver's kiss-swollen lips. "You have no idea how difficult these past..."

"I do actually." Oliver murmured breathlessly, scattering tiny kisses all over Adrian's face. "I couldn't stand being apart from you for that long." He muttered amidst kisses. "I missed you terribly." His skin had longed to feel Adrian's touch, and his eyes had wished to gaze into his. "All that phone sex helped but...I wanted you in my bed." Oliver murmured, making Adrian laugh softly.

"Those were more like Skype-sex." Adrian rasped, a shudder passing through him when he recalled some of their intense sessions. "Fuck, you're sinful." He moaned. "I lost count of the number of times we..." He trailed off when Oliver burst into laughter.

"Yeah, and you're such a perv." Oliver sucked Adrian's lower lip into his mouth. "I didn't know my hole was such a turn on for you." He murmured against Adrian's lips, recalling how hard Adrian had shot his load when he'd exposed his twitching hole to him in one of their sessions.

"Everything about you is a turn on for me, love." Adrian laughed shakily. "I'm so hot for you right now." He growled into Oliver's ear, his voice husky with want.

"Fuck." Oliver breathed, stepping out of Adrian's embrace with an effort when he noticed Mark coming down the stairs.

"Thanks Mark." Adrian said as Mark passed them on his way out.

"Anytime Doc." Mark grinned. "Welcome back Oliver. The house wasn't the same without you."

Oliver laughed breathlessly. "Thanks Mark. Good to know my absence was felt."

"Oh it was, trust me." Mark drawled. "The good doctor was a mess."

"Fuck you Mark." Adrian growled as Mark and Oliver laughed. They could still hear Mark's laughter even from outside.

"If it's any consolation, I was also a mess." Oliver said softly, his eyes still twinkling with mirth. "I want to ravish you so bad right now." He said huskily. "Maybe I should eat. Is it ready? I decided not to eat on the plane because I didn't want to fill my stomach with any..."

"Are you very hungry?" Adrian asked, the undercurrents of arousal in his voice making Oliver's blood hum.

"Nope." Oliver shook his head. "I just wanted to eat to get my mind off what I really want." He grinned. "The kids are around and I need to spend time with them."

"I need to ask you something very important, Olly." Adrian's voice remained steady, but he was anything but calm.

"Shoot." Oliver folded his arms across his chest and stared intently at Adrian, who just looked back at him as though he'd forgotten what he wanted to ask.

After a moment, during which Oliver contemplated putting a shaky Adrian out of his misery, Adrian swallowed hard and reached out to take one of Oliver's hands so that he had to unfold his arms.

"Please don't say no, Olly..." Adrian started shakily instead of asking his question.

"Oh fuck..." Oliver groaned. "Yes, I'll marry you Adrian." He said dryly.

"What?" Adrian's gasped. "How did you... Really? You will? But how did...who told you? Jason?"

"You look so fucking adorable when you get flustered." Oliver grinned. "And no, Jason hasn't told me anything. I'm surprised to know he was even in on this. Is that why he's remained in the car pretending to be making an important call? The silly man." Oliver shook his head in amusement. "I'm guessing I never told you my mother is bad at keeping secrets..."

"Oh fuck." Adrian groaned.

"Looks like she actually did you a favour though. You were beginning to turn green." Oliver grinned. "Now I know one more thing that you suck at besides grieving. Proposing." Oliver laughed when Adrian flipped him off.

"You have no idea how happy and relieved I am right now." Adrian said softly, his eyes suspiciously bright. "Thank you Oliver."

Oliver shrugged. "I can't imagine not spending every day of every year forever with you. So thank you for asking. No scratch that...you didn't have the balls to..." Oliver burst into delighted laughter when Adrian suddenly grabbed his wrist and drew his hand to his crotch to rub his balls through his shorts.

"What does that feel like if not balls?" Adrian husked and then promptly moaned when Oliver squeezed his cock.

"Christ, you have nothing on beneath these shorts." Oliver gasped, stroking Adrian's rapidly hardening dick through his shorts. "You're such a slut."

"Fuck, that feels so good." Adrian moaned huskily, thrusting into Oliver's touch.

"Did he say yes?" Josh asked excitedly as he bounded down the stairs, his sister hot on his heels.

Adrian quickly turned Oliver around to face the kids, using him as a shield for his aroused body. "Yes." Adrian answered with a breathless laughter. "He said yes." He rubbed Oliver's shoulders as he watched his kids dash towards him and Oliver.

"Well, he..." Oliver began but gasped when Josh and Pearl slammed into him, hugging him tightly. "He didn't even ask." He grunted.

"Shut up Oliver." Adrian laughed as he wrapped his arms around his family. He felt like the luckiest man alive. "Thanks." He murmured against Oliver's temple. "I was so afraid you would say no."
