A Love For His Art

Chapter 4

I was still in bed with Wufei curled up against me when the goddamn phone rang. Wufei gave a cry of shock and his eyes flew open as he jumped up before landing on me and holding on to my tightly before he realized that it was the phone. He then relaxed and slid off me, falling on to the bed beside me, breathing hard before he pulled the blanket over and buried himself in it, promptly falling back asleep I assume.

I just sat there, stunned. All of that had happened in a few seconds to my surprise. Then I remembered the phone. I reached over and picked it up.

"Hello?" I said irritably into the receiver.

"Duo, when's a new painting going to come out? Buyers are starting to get a bit impatient," said the firm yet sometimes rather annoying voice of my manager, Patrick Hall. He was the one who got me the auctions and the sales and sometimes the models of the perfect people for my paintings. He was a great guy for sure, except he had the worst timing on this side of the earth.

"I'm working on it, Pat. I swear," I lied [1].

"Sure you are, Duo," Pat said sarcastically.

"I am! I just finished a really great piece except it's not gonna go on sale. So I guess I'll just have to work on another. Just give me a month or something," I said, knowing that a month would drive Pat up a wall.

"A MONTH?!"

See?

"Yes. Pat, you know it takes a long time for a painter to get the perfect painting out. Don't push," I told him. Although we both knew perfectly well I could paint a painting in a two weeks maximum.

"Duo, don't do this to me." Pat groaned.

"I'm doing nothing!" I said innocently as I peeked underneath the blankets to find a sound asleep Wufei underneath.

"Duo!"

"Fine, fine. I actually have something half done. I'll bring it in, let's say, a week," I said as I trailed my fingers down Wufei's smooth shoulder, causing the sleeping man to shiver involuntarily.

"*sigh* All right, a week."

"Yeah, I love you too, Pat," I drawled before I hung up.

"Who do you love?"

"AH!" I gasped as I was suddenly loaded with a lap full of Wufei. The man-child grinned wickedly at me.

"I scared you!"

I never thought it was possible to see a wicked smile on Wufei's innocent face yet there it was. What an evil little angel...

"Yes, you did, Wufei," I said as I lifted up his long limbs and arranged him carefully on my lap. He wrapped his arms around my neck and laid his head on my shoulder.

"Who was that? What painting?" Wufei asked curiously.

"I thought you were asleep," I said dryly while my hands began to rub up and down Wufei's strong back.

"I was...But then I woke up," Wufei said matter-of-factly.

"I see. Well, you know I'm a painter, Wufei. My manager was telling me that I have to paint if I want money to buy things and take you to more dances," I said, smiling. Gods, it was like talking to a child. It almost made me feel ashamed and guilty of the carnal thoughts I have about this beautiful man in my arms. Almost.

"Oh, so you haven't been listening to your manager?"

I laughed and nodded. "Yeah, you could say that. It's just that I've been having so much fun with you I forgot all about painting."

Wufei nodded thoughtfully. "I guess so...But you should paint."

"Well, before we get into that, let's go have some breakfast," I suggested.

Wufei smiled and nodded. "I'm hungry. And I want to read more about that fat cat Garfield. You do have more of his pictures, don't you?"

"Why, yes I do," I said as I lifted him out of bed and carried him into the bathroom.

Later that day I was busy painting in my studio when Wufei walked into the room. In one hand were the morning paper's funny pages, in the other was an apple. He was munching and reading at the same time while he walked over to me and stood behind me.

I stopped working and turned my head slightly.

"Yes, Wufei?" I asked.

"I just want to watch you work," Wufei said while he crunched on the fresh, crisp ruby red apple. I could smell the enticing scents of that apple and it almost made me hungry. Good thing I already ate.

I looked at Wufei with a half-amused smile before turning my attention back to the painting. Or at least I tried valiantly to. I painted slowly to make sure I didn't make any mistakes while my whole attention was actually absorbed into the fact that Wufei only stood a few inches away and I could feel his warm apple scented breath against my bare skin and his warm, live body close to my. If I were a vampire, I would have been completely intoxicated by the sensuality of it all. Who knew that just having someone this close could set off so many feelings at once?

I loved him, plain and simple. I loved him since I first painted and laid my eyes on his beautiful form and face. There was no denying it, and I wasn't going to try to. If only I could just touch him, slowly take off his clothes and make sweet love to him. If only...

"Duo?"

"Yes?" I turned my head and to my great shock came face to face with him. His forehead was pressed warmly against mine and his sweet breath was breathing against my cheek. His lips were only a few centimeters away...so very, very close and inviting. Warm, moist and pink lips were separated just a little to reveal the white teeth behind it and the dark cavern after that. I wanted to kiss him, run the tip of my tongue across his lower lip before exploring that dark cavern and tasting what this beautiful man-child had to offer.

"You...have paint on your hand," Wufei breathed as he stared at me in complete fascination as if all of this was something amazing and new. It probably was.

"Wufei?" I whispered.

Wufei swallowed slowly. "Yes?"

Suddenly my lips were pressed against his. He was in my arms and his willing body was pressed ever so hotly against my own. I held him, cradled his head as I slowly kissed him before ravaging his sweet innocent mouth with my own experienced one.

He was so willing yet fierce in my arms as he battled with me. He was willing to let me lead in the beginning since he didn't know what to do, but again, he amazed me by picking up things so very quickly and started to fight me for some kind of control. I tightened my arms around his slim body and continued to kiss him as I showed him the many ways a person can kiss another. He was amazed and completely willing to learn as he slowly backed off and allowed me to lead, for now.

Then, I slowly pulled my lips away and released his body just a bit, his head fell back and before he lifted it and stared at me in amazement while his breaths came in and out a bit quickly. His tongue quickly flicked out and licked his moist lips. His eyes were large yet dreamy as he smiled lazily at me.

"That was...good," he breathed.

"Good? Wufei, that was more than good," I sniffed, just a bit irked that me kissing him was only 'good'.

Wufei smiled and leaned up against me. "Yes, it was more than good. Can we do that some more?"

I shook with silently laughter as I held his body against mine. I placed my chin on the top of his head.

"Yes, Wufei, we can do some more," I promised softly as I bent down for another passionate, soul burning kiss.
