Making Up for Lost Time (shared fanfic w/: Eric)

Eric smirked as he pulled his shirt on, looking up in time to see James approach him. As James kissed him, he threaded his fingers through his hair. "You keep doing that we'll never get there." Eric said as he reluctantly pulled away. His lover looked nearly delectable in his outfit, and Eric really had to fight not to tear it off of him. Luckily his place was not too far away, as Eric couldn't really stand to be away from the river for long periods of time. He pulled on his pants and grabbed James's hand, "Come on." He said and pulled him along towards his house well more like a mansion nestled in the woods. Eric wasn't exactly poor after all, and there were some priceless books located inside the library. Eric grinned as the sight of his home arrived, it was a magnificent sight after all. "It's not much, but it's home." He said with a grin as he led James towards the entrance. "I'll have to dismiss the staff, after all I'd like to keep this place all to us for a few days." He said as he glanced back at James to see his reaction.

Eric glanced back to see James taking in his house with a slightly awed expression. "Don't worry I'll show you around." Eric said with a wink. He all but ran inside and smiled as a maidservant hurried forward, "Master Stormborn, what a pleasure to see you at last. I see you have some company." The kindly older woman said as she smiled over at James. Eric grinned, "This is my friend, he'll be staying with me for a few days. You and the other servants can take the weekend off, I think I can manage by myself for a few days." He said with a little wink down at her. The maidservant's smile widened, "Oh well I'll let them know then, but you know how to reach me should you need anything." The maidservant said before she bobbed a curtsy to James and Eric before she left. Eric smiled and pulled James off towards his favorite room, the library. "I'll be honest, I hope this isn't overwhelming you." He said with an almost shy smile as he opened the doors. The library was probably one of the largest rooms in the entire Mansion and was filled with bookshelves with all kinds of books. "This is the Library, my favorite place actually...I've collected all kinds of manuscripts and books here." He said as he moved towards the fireplace. "I've never shown anyone this room before...until now I mean." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck in a shy manner. The library was the only reason he had the Mansion. He couldn't bring books with him under the water for obvious reasons. The library held tomes that were extremely rare and centuries old, "You can come here whenever you like...all the books you see are yours to take or borrow if you want." He said gently, offering him the complete use of his library was something he had never done for anyone before.

Eric relaxed at James's words, "I thought you'd like it...I mean I know how much you enjoy books and I want you to enjoy them." He said honestly. He smiled as he saw James reverently touch some of the bindings on the books. "I should have let you come by sooner." He said apologetically as he leaned against the fireplace mantle. Seeing James in the place that Eric considered to be his sanctuary made his heart speed up. "Anything of mine is yours James...I know you're engaged and I'll fully support you. I just want you to know that I'll always be there for you, if you ever need me." He added. If James truly loved Ariel, then he wouldn't stand in the way of their marriage. No matter what feelings he had for James, it wouldn't be fair to James's fiancee if he did that.

Eric smiled, "Well I mean everything I say as you well know." He said with a wink. He slipped towards James and pressed himself against him from behind. "Now, that I've said my bit...want to see the bedroom?" He asked before he nipped at Eric's ear. "Or you know we could stay here, I have a few blankets in here." He said as he slipped his arms around James in a loose hug. "What do you say?" He added in a low undertone as he started kissing James's neck.

Eric chuckled and bit down on his neck, leaving a nice little mark for anyone to see "I like the way how you think James." He all but purred as James pushed himself back so Eric's errection was against his ass. His gaze darkened with lust as James turned around and started kissing him once again, the feeling of his body sliding against his own made Eric growl. His own hands traveled lower and squeezed James's ass as he pulled him in closer towards him, the feel of James pressing against his own growing erection was causing all kinds of pleasurable feelings in Eric. He bit down gently on James's bottom lip and pulled it just slightly before pushing James against a bookcase.

Eric chuckled low in his throat as James pulled at his pants, and moved to help him get rid of the barrier. His expression lightened as James took off his shirt to display his muscled chest that was tense and just waiting for Eric to slide his hands all over. Eric kicked off his pants and tore his own shirt off as his hands moved to James's pants, all he wanted at that moment was to feel James. With a little growl he finally managed to take James's pants off and grinned as he saw how ready James was for him. "Fuck." The word left his mouth in an eager low tone as he took in James in all his naked glory. He ran his hands down James's chest before he moved one hand to stroke James's hardened member, being in his favorite room with the man that he loved more then anyone he had ever met was almost too much for Eric at that moment.
