Lips parted and back arched, Sage cried out as Ryo ferociously slammed into his body. His body spasmed, and he came with the first thrust, a blazing white light erupting from his chest.

The warmth of cowboy's release spurted across Ryo's stomach and became trapped between their bodies, even as the rain threatened to wash it away. As the hot flesh of the blonde's ass closed around him, Ryo tried to blink away the bright spots dancing in front of his eyes. Then he shifted his hips allowing him to edge in a little farther. A whimper escaped pale lips.

"Sage? Am I hurting you? I…"

"No! No, it…it feels good. Don't you dare stop. Please."

A feral smile twitched at Ryo's mouth. He desperately wanted to see his own sexual desire reflected in those amethyst eyes. Wanted to feel every curve and thrust of the glorious, angelic body fused with his. Wanted to hear every moan and whimper of ecstasy that passed swollen lips. This time he was fully aware of what he was doing and was in complete control. The blonde wouldn't easily forget this night. Inhibitions had been thrown aside, and the wild creature beneath him squirmed and moaned in pure bliss. The small sounds he coaxed from the cowboy's throat were fueling the Indian's desire. They both wanted this. There would be no guilt or remorse over their actions.

Smooth hands grasped his ass and tried to coax him in deeper. The white light that had blinded him faded to a golden glow, and Ryo could feel it begin to envelop his body, encasing him in the same pale light that surrounded Sage's body. He could hear the cowboy encouraging him to ride him even faster and harder. He knew this was what the blonde craved, what he needed…

The rumbling thunder sounded, followed by a streak of lightning that lit up the pair just outside the barn. Bodies entwined and indiscernible from one another. Long legs wrapped around tanned hips, and hands groping body parts frantically.

The voice inside his head became more frantic and vocal as he thrust harder and faster into Sage's ass, needing this intimate contact as much as the cowboy did. In and out. In and out. The light began to pulse with each thrust, and then without warning, the fire flared up within him. Ryo gasped as rain turned into steam on his heated flesh, and his vision went white.

Dazed, he blinked. His eyes adjusted and suddenly, he was watching Kento and Rowan as the Yankee leaned forward and hungrily devoured the mountain man's lips in a passionate kiss. Kento was briefly stunned before he buried his hands in Rowan's hair and reciprocated with a heated kiss of his own.

Ryo blinked again and now, he was watching Cye and Rosemary in the kitchen. The woman gasped as the Brit grabbed her waist and firmly planted his lips on hers. She managed to push him back and slap him across the face. She retreated to her room and slammed the door. Cye stood there stunned and dazed until the realization of what he'd done dawned on him. Then he sank into one of the kitchen chairs and sobbed. "What's happening to me?" he cried. "I hate this country."

Another blink and flash of white, and Ryo was staring at the beautiful Asian woman from the bar sitting at her desk writing in a book. The redheaded bartender was on his knees in front of her scrubbing the floors. When he paused, she looked up from the page she was reading and glanced at him. His eyes were slightly glazed, and he was staring at her. "What is it, Anubis?" He stood and quickly closed the space between them. She looked up at him. "What?" she managed before his powerful arms swept her out of her chair and crushed her body to his. She briefly panicked before settling into his arms, enjoying the taste of wine and peppermints on his tongue.

White flashed again, and Ryo now saw before him that awful sheriff and the pale-haired judge. Hands roaming and searching one another's bodies. Mouths connected by tongues, and clothes abandoned in haste lay scattered on the floor.

Once again his vision went white, and Ryo was looking down at a green-haired man lying on a bed. A silver needle was embedded in his arm as he toyed with his flaccid sex.

The white light flared again, and Ryo panicked. His vision cleared, and he realized he was back with Sage, firmly nestled between the blonde's lean legs. His sex still buried deep inside the cowboy's ass. The glorious body beneath him bucked, and moans emanated from bruised lips. The rain was still pounding on his back, and streams of water rolled from his limbs. He was finding it hard to breathe…

Questing lips found his, and Ryo shivered.

Writhing in ecstasy, Sage cried out his name as he came a second time, and Ryo followed not long after. The constriction around his erupting organ threatened to trap him inside the blonde forever. He collapsed onto the cowboy, the heavy beating of Sage's heart loud in his ears. Ryo shuddered. He didn't know if he could move - not that he wanted to. His hair hung in his eyes as the rain continued to fall.

Sage wrapped his arms around Ryo, and once again he felt the golden light like a summer's day embrace him. He melted into the cowboy's arms. The rain pounded on his back, and he knew they needed to get inside soon. Mud caked their bodies. The blonde lay beneath him breathing heavily. Ryo wearily pushed himself up and pulled out of Sage who let out a small whimper as the Indian left his body. "Come on, Sage. Let's get you inside." Ryo got to his feet and rubbed at the mud on his body. The rain greedily washed the dirt away to reveal the perfect skin underneath. Sage still hadn't moved by the time he'd rinsed off, so he gingerly got the cowboy to his feet and helped him get most of the grime off his pale flesh. Sage leaned against him heavily, and Ryo eventually managed to get both of them into the barn after retrieving Sage's things. He lay the blonde down on a fresh pile of hay and gathered a couple of horse blankets to keep them warm and dry them off a little. Lady Luck nuzzled him as he removed her saddle and tack, combing her down and drying her off. He put a blanket on her back and led her into the stall with Ember. Then he went and lay down next to Sage, wrapping his arms around the cowboy and drawing him close. The blonde sighed and put his head on Ryo's chest, next to his heart. "I love you, Ryo, " he murmured as he nuzzled against Ryo.

"I love you, too, Sage Halo," Ryo said before lightly kissing the top of the cowboy's golden hair.
