Hal tried not to stare as Gryff stripped off his trousers without any self consciousness. Last night his long, lean body had been gilded by firelight, defined by shadows. In the sunlight he was pale as milk, the tracery of veins blue beneath his skin. Gryff bore no scars, which made the bloody scab on his abdomen seem even more of a blasphemy. It stretched from just below his pectoral muscles to his navel. Hal had been concentrating on their duel, so hadn't been consciously aware of the old damage. The sight of it now effectively quelled his inevitable reaction to the nakedness on display before him. Gryff walked into the water, turned a little to glance back. "Come on in, it isn't cold."

"Yeah, I remember." He hurried out of his jeans and followed him down the steps. Blood-warm water lapped up his body, its soothing touch immediately healing all the little bruises and scrapes. He sank into the pool up to his neck and groaned in delight. "Oh, God, this beats a jacuzzi any day. Does your dad issue season tickets?" He edged back and sat on the topmost submerged step, arms spread out along the edge of the pool. Even the stone felt warm, as if it had taken on the temperature of the water.

Gryff's smile was a caress in itself. "I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, but you can come here any time you wish, whether you need healing or not." He moved closer, sending a small wave ahead of him that lapped at Hal's thighs. The scab no longer bled, and if Gryff was in any pain, he didn't show it. His half-hard cock, however, displayed a different kind of response. Hal grinned up at him and opened his legs in blatant invitation. This was a healing pool, after all, so Gryff would be unlikely to suffer any additional damage if sexual athletics got a bit enthusiastic.

Gryff responded with an answering smile and waded between his spread thighs. He stopped when their groins touched and his hard cock slid alongside Hal's erection, then he leaned down and claimed his mouth in a kiss that set Hal's body afire. It ended too soon in Hal's opinion.

A playful light glinted in Gryff's eyes as he straightened and the corners of his mouth turned up a little. He looked—happy, and young. Hal swallowed past the knot in his throat. This was a different Gryff, perhaps more like the man he must have been before Gronw and Melusine fucked up his life. Hal wanted to bring that man back on a permanent basis. No commitment, he reminded himself. No strings. But at least he could do his best to repair some of the damage, right? It would be the humane thing to do, he decided virtuously, and wrapped his legs around Gryff's waist.

"Stop looming like a giraffe and come back down here," he ordered.

"How far down?" Gryff asked, the glint transmuting to a wicked twinkle.
