Powers of Persuasion

The two members of Savage Garden glared at each other from across the room. Blue ice and green fire clashed and warred in a silent battle of wills. When the tension was thick enough to be cut with a knife Darren gave an exasperated sigh and ran a hand through his hair. His eyes lost some of their coldness and he got an almost pleading look on his face.

"Danny." He stopped and sighed again. "Danny please. It would mean so much to me."

Dark and mellow as a sea before a storm he gazed imploringly at the blond guitarist, hoping he would say yes. Those enchanting green orbs still smoldered like a barely banked fire that could erupt with the slightest disturbance. Again the silence grew oppressive and Darren was about to scream to break it when the suppressed fire in Daniels eyes went out. Now all he saw was a vague wariness and irritation.

"Darren. You KNOW how I feel about this. Why do you keep bugging and begging me?"

"Because I want you there Jonesy. It won't be for very long. Just enough to say hi, bye, take care and see ya later."

Dan appeared to waver. If it meant this much to Darren. How bad could it be? He knew Darren would never lie to him, at least not about something like this. As he stood there thinking things through he missed the sudden gleam in the singer's eyes. If he had he would have known it meant the singer was about to do something sneaky. Just as he reached a decision he felt arms wrap around him from behind and hot breath tickle his ear.

"Come on Daniel. " Darren breathed huskily. "It won't be bad. I promise."

Daniel gave a soft sigh and melted back against Darren as those oh so talented lips of his started to nibble along his neck, paying special attention to the juncture where neck and shoulders met. Grinning a little devilishly Darren bit down, drawing a soft cry from Dan.

"Mmmm, I love it when you make sounds like that Jonesy." He purred.

Tilting his head to the side and exposing more of his neck to those delicious lips Daniel gave another soft moan. The passion he heard in that beloved voice caused Darren to harden instantly. Feeling the evidence of his lover's desire pressing against him Dan reached back and started rubbing him through his pants, causing Darren to moan aloud. Lips met in a feverish kiss as each tried to devour the other. Pulling away only when air became an issue they stared at each other.

Once more blue and green blazed at each other, but this time it was desire that had them inflamed. Green embers exploded into a raging inferno of lust and desire with an answering flare from sea blue eyes darkened to almost purple with equal need and want. Hands made clumsy with the burning they both felt quickly stripped off pants and shirts while their mouths again fused into a mind-numbing kiss.

Harsh gasps and moans filled the room as Daniel braced his arms against the wall, Darren breaking the kiss to feast once more on the smooth expanse of his neck, paying special attention to the mark he had made earlier and causing it to grow bigger and darker. Dan cried out again and pressed back against Darren, drawing a hiss of pleasure from the dark-haired man as his throbbing erection brushed against his naked rear.

"Dazza. I. Gods. Please." Whimpered Dan, half out of his mind with pleasure.

"You what?" Whispered Darren seductively in his ear, his hand giving Daniels arousal the briefest touch.

Thrusting into the hand tormenting him Daniel managed only a strangled groan.

"What was that Daniel?" Another teasing brush of the hand. "I couldn't quit understand you."

"Darren! Oh gods... Stop teasing.." Pleaded Dan, grinding back against him.

Biting his lip to stifle a moan Darren slid two fingers into his mouth, the guitarist greedily sucking on them. Almost cumming from that alone he removed them and quickly slid them inside his lover's tight entrance. Moaning and completely lost in pleasure Daniel thrust back against the invading digits, taking them as deep as possible.

"N.nnnnnoooowww. Please!" he begged.

Groaning at the lust he heard, Darren removed his fingers and, searing their lips together, again thrust deeply into the other man. Both of them held still, the sheer ecstasy racing through them almost painful in its intensity. After a few seconds, Dan gave a roll of his hips, letting Darren know what he wanted him to move and he wanted him to move NOW. Past the point of teasing Darren eagerly complied with the silent request. Pulling out almost all the way he drove back in sharply, wringing loud cries from both of them.

"I. Oh Jesus. Danny. So good!" Moaned Darren.

"Harder. More. Faster." Daniel gasped.

Only too happy to comply, Darren sped up his thrusts. His hands were everywhere on Daniel, touching and teasing every part of him they could reach. Lost in the pleasure he was receiving Daniel could only brace himself harder against the wall, giving inarticulate cries. When a well aimed thrust of Darren's hit that special spot inside him he threw his head back with a scream.

Angling to hit that spot every time, Darren turned Dan's head back, fusing their lips together in a soul-destroying kiss. Reaching down he wrapped a hand around his neglected arousal, roughly stroking him in counter rhythm to his movements. Eyes flying open Dan froze for one second before he screamed into Darren's mouth, his whole body jerking and spasming as his orgasm ripped through him.

Feeling more than hearing Dan's scream as well as the pressure and throbbing of his inner walls clamping down around him threw Darren over the edge. Too overcome to make a sound he held still for a timeless second as ecstasy rendered him mindless. Then, with an almost sob both he and Dan slowly slid to the floor, both shaking and gasping desperately for air. Hours, minutes, seconds it seemed, passed as they stayed like that. Slowly, slowly they got their bearing back. Darren was the first to break the now companionable silence once they could both speak.

"So. Dan. About that matter we were discussing earlier."

With a resigned sigh Dan nodded his head. "All right."

Darren gave him a cheeky grin. "Behold my awesome powers of persuasion."

Dan didn't have the heart to tell him he was going to say yes anyway. Or rather he didn't want to. Not if it mean Darren would try to 'persuade' him more often.
