I feel bad because Em-Spider probably won't read this response to her
challenge as it is definitely ADULT themes. However, when they build it, I
must come. Or something. Story happened. Couldn't stop. This longer than
story now.

Disclaimer: Marvel's. I'm doing bad things. Sorry.

Appassionata

Fire meets ice.

Ice burns. Fire melts.

Tremolo.

Hands touch - tremble - withdraw. Other hands catch. Press against body,
slide. Muscle quivers. Breath catches.

Pianissimo.

Murmurs. Soft words, moans, a sigh. Half-protest - muted. Mouth stops
mouth, body speaks to body.

Arpeggio.

Touch follows touch. Exploring, moulding, following. Hand on mouth - a kiss
- a whisper of passion - a surrender.

Glissando.

Sweat gleams. A droplet traces muscle. A mouth, eager, follows. Tasting,
savouring, devouring, moving onwards. A gasp.

Largo.

Slowly, gently. Learning each other. Touching, wanting, consuming,
intensifying. Ice is fire and bodies burn.

Agitato.

Movement faster. A needing, a sliding, muscle over muscle, skin against
skin. Mouth tastes mouth, a clashing, a burning, a wanting, a needing.

Legato.

No pausing now. Hands follow thought, a joining of desires. Knowing the
needing - fulfilling the need. Smooth junction of bodies and desires. Heat
rises.

Fortissimo.

Expectation. Excitation. Elevation. Penetration. Undulation.

Ritardano.

Exploration. Sensation. Bodies press. Bodies burn. Mouth against neck.
Hands tangled in hair. A cry.

Crescendo.

Exhilaration. Exhultation. Ice burns like fire, fire consumes bodies, bones
melt in heat, centre liquefying, release.

Diminuendo.

Heat lessens. Body slide apart. Soft mouths explore. Hand touches face.
Eyes startled - aflame - unsure.

'Bobby,' says Robert Drake.

'Bobby,' says Roberto DaCosta

'I never knew it could be...'

'I know.'

Rallentando.

Fire with ice intertwined, warmth combined.

Tranquillo.

Finito.

The End
