His pale lips were cold.
At that, inexplicable frustration and anger festered in my heart. I bit his lips, trying to transfer some heat to him.
I held his ice-cold cheeks in both hands, maintaining eye contact with his widened eyes for a period of time.
Who knew how long we had stayed like that?
After we separated, Riley rapidly blinked, seemingly unable to make sense of what had just happened. Then his face contorted.
If I were to tell him that his face made me feel relieved, he would definitely become angry.
As I giggled at that thought, Riley circled his hands around the back of my head and pressed his lips against mine. Though in quite a reserved manner.
However, as the kiss went on, he seemed to gain more courage. He bit my lips and changed the angle to deepen the kiss. And on the occasional times I trembled, he gently stroked the back of my head.
The kiss felt like it lasted for an eternity.
When we finally ran out of breath, we broke the kiss. Loud gasps escaped me as I took in precious air.
“Ilya…” called out Riley in blank amazement.
His complexion returned to its normal color, much to my relief. But now that my worry had been resolved, the embarrassment came flooding in.
Trying to conceal it, I ruffled his head into a mess. Then I rested my forehead against his. I looked into his eyes, which were once again blinking in confusion.
“Riley, let’s talk. About our past and future.”
I could see my reflection in those clear red eyes.
From this, I could ascertain that his gaze was purely focused on me.
Happy at that fact, I pecked him on the lips.
 
 
His body felt firm and solid. Truly a man’s body.
I traced the ridges of his abdominal muscles with my fingertips, relishing the blazing sensation with my entire palm.
When I grazed his scars, Riley stiffened. However, I didn’t stop, even proceeding to trace them with my fingers.
I’ve witnessed what Riley’s healing magic was capable of when we were in the orphanage, not to mention that it would have only improved after years of training and combat. Moreover, the best priest in this world must have accompanied him during his journey to demon territory.
Nevertheless, despite all that healing power, there were still so many scars on his body. Just from this, I could only guess the kind of hellish battles he had gone through.
He had probably also experienced several close calls and near-death experiences.  
“Does it hurt?”
“Don’t remember anymore,” Riley said lightly as he resumed caressing my skin with his fingers.
I had an average body. Not one that you could call beautiful. I didn’t have any scars either.
And yet, Riley’s calloused fingers kept touching me here and there, as if wanting to make sure of that.
A snort left my nose when his hands swept down my sides, tickling me.
I giggled a little. “Nn… I don’t have any scars, you know.”
“Okay.” Riley nodded, but his fingers didn’t stop.
They gradually divested me of my clothes, one piece at a time. Then he gently stroked my body as if he was enraptured in the novel sensation.
Even though his actions weren’t obscene, my breath hitched and quickened.
I was the first one to cave into my sexual frustrations.
I groped for Riley’s manhood before releasing it from his trousers.
Then I teasingly used my toe to caress the area around his waist, coyly gazing into his darkened pomegranate eyes through my lashes.
Unsure whether he disliked it or not, I tilted my head up slightly to ask him. And inevitably exposed my neck.
It was this simple action that caused Riley to snap. He captured me into his tight embrace and fiercely kissed me.
He impatiently inserted his tongue between my lips, swirling it around the entire surface of my mouth in insistent sweeps.
“Ilya,” called out Riley, panting as he did so.
His husky, breathy voice, mixed with gasps, sounded so sexy. And his pomegranate eyes seemed to glow red, shining like jewels. Just as enchanting as them too.
His hands that were fondling my waist then moved to my crotch, grasping my member.
My hand moved similarly toward his shaft in response, and I rested my forehead on his wide shoulder.
As he directly rubbed me, sparks of light filled my vision.
Chewing my lips to suppress the sounds that were begging to come out, I stimulated Riley’s shaft too.
I squeezed him, resulting in squelching sounds due to the precum dripping down onto the shaft. I flushed red at the sound, and I could feel my cheeks boiling from the embarrassment.
We were both men. We knew where we were most sensitive and easily stimulated.
I circled the tip of his manhood with my finger, while gently stroking the glans with my other hand. Then, I wrapped my hand around his shaft and moved it up and down, setting a fast rhythm. To further heighten his pleasure, I also flexibly lifted my foot in between Riley’s legs to stroke his scrotum. 
Our hands only moved faster and faster, as though in a competition, heavily influenced by each other’s fiery passion.
“R-Riley! Hah…” I keened in a high voice.
“Ilya,” he groaned. He pulled my hips so strongly that the tips of our penis dashed against each other, meeting in a tingling explosion.
Riley’s large hand encased both of our shafts together and started sliding from tip to base at a punishing pace. Unable to endure this onslaught, I became undone in a dizzying array of pleasure. 
As we basked in postcoital bliss, our ragged, though sated gasps echoed in the quiet forest.
