Previously in Part 9:

"Karl." Craig whispered, giving Karl a gentle kiss. No one had ever said such beautiful words to him, so honest and from the heart. No one had ever said they couldn't live without him and the feeling was very overwhelming however he had to be honest. He didn't want to live life without Karl either. "You know I'm always there for you." Craig said, promising to remain by Karl's side.

Karl wasn't finding the words and he was growing frustrated. Sighing loudly, he finally knelt in the cramped shower stall.

"Look, Parker. What I'm trying to say is," He took a deep breath and looked up at Craig. "Will you marry me?"
~~~~~

PART 10:

Craig felt instantly light headed. "You told her about me?"

"Yeah and she thinks it's cool."

"Cool? The mother of your child and your ex-girlfriend thinks it's cool?" He laughed.

As if on cue, the water, which had been growing increasingly cooler ran completely out of warm water, turning the comforting spray instantly ice cold.

"Oooohhh, shit!" Karl yelled, laughing as both men jerked away from the arctic spray, both scrambling to get away from the shock. Karl was kneeling still and his knees decided at that moment not to cooperate, sending him tumbling to the floor of the stall.

"Move!" Craig laughed as well, stuck under the majority of the downpour, already frozen to the bone. He was trying to get around Karl, who was basically a pile of slippery, naked limbs, slipping and sliding around and moving directly in front of Craig every time he tried to go around them. "Faster!"

"I'm moving as fast as I can!" Karl laughed as two naked bodies came tumbling and slipping out of the shower stall, laughing their heads off. Both grabbed for the same towel, the only towel.

"You bloody git, hurry up! I'm freezing here." Craig laughed, relinquishing the towel over to Karl.

"That was freezing!" Karl rushed in getting the wettest spots to stop dripping as he watched Craig furiously rubbing his arms. "Here, here." He wrapped the wet towel around Craig's shoulders and began rug hig his arms to help the teeth-chattering shorter man. Instead of doing much drying off, Craig burrowed himself within Karl's arms.

"Come on, luv." Karl led Craig into the bedroom, pulling the sheets and blankets back. Craig turned to him with a questioning look. "Go on, mate. I'm not going to molest you. This is just to warm up, okay? I promise." He reassured as Craig gave in and crawled under the warm blankets. Karl was quickly behind him, quickly spooning up behind the smaller man, both huddled with blankets up to their necks.

"This is much better." Craig chuckled, finally getting warmer but also relishing in the fact that Karl was wrapped around him completely. He didn't think they'd ever do this again.

"Mmm, much." Karl's muffled reply came from Craig's neck. Karl was beginning to kiss him playfully as his hand continued to rub up and down his arm to keep him warm.

Craig was warming up quite quickly. In fact, he was getting very warm as he replayed Karl's words over and over in his head. Karl had asked him to marry him, to spend the rest of their lives together and to help him raise his son.

"You told your ex-girlfriend about me?" He repeated, that part seemingly the strangest part of the conversation.

"I did. She knows who you are. She's seen you on the telly. She thinks I made a good choice. Of course, she told me that she knew I had a crush on you anyway. She says it was because I talked about you and was always meeting up with you." He explained, his hands still caressing Craig's frame. "She also says I sometimes talk in my sleep." He added sheepishly.

"Were we ... when you were with her?" Craig asked, turning in Karl's arms so he could face him. He caught Karl's blush. "And you didn't use protection with her? Jeez, Karl. Do you realize how stupid that was?raigraig asked, shaking his head.

Karl laughed. "Uh, yeah, thanks. You could have told me that BEFORE I go and get her pregnant." He joked.

"No, Karl, I mean with me. Shit, you're not the only guy I was having sex with. I mean you should have protected her from me." Craig groaned the tone still light. Craig knew he was clean but Karl didn't know that.

"With as concerned as you are about condoms? Craig, you and I have never done anything without them." Karl laughed. "Hey, does this mean we don't have to use them anymore?" He asked.

"Yes, Karl. We have to still use them." Craig smiled. God, this was for real.

"Oh. Not forever, right? I mean, we'll get to the point where we won't have to, right?" Karl insisted.

"As long as we stay completely monogamous." Craig smiled. He'd never re lik liked that word much but now it was sounding pretty good.

Karl smiled, running his finger across Craig's bottom lip. "So, you wanna be monogamous with me, Mr. Parker? You never did answer my question."

"Oh, what question was that, Mr. Urban?" Craig said innocently.

"You know what question, you wanker." Karl tickled Craig who squirmed quickly to the other side of the bed.

"Stop!" He laughed, sitting up and tossed a pillow back at Karl.

"So?" Karl followed him, wrapping himself up over Craig's back, knees on either side of Craig's bare hips. Karl kissed Craig's neck lightly.

"I seem to remember you down here," Craig pointed to the floor. "Looking up at me or something. Maybe you should try that and see if it jogs my memory a bit." He smirked.

"Always the girl." Karl mumbled softly as he crawled out of bed.

"Hey, you're the one that got on his knees, not me." Craig defended himself.

"That's okay, though because I kinda like you the way you are." Karl said, kissing Craig's knee as he knelt in front of him. He took a hold of the other man's hands and took up a classic proposal position.

"Ah, now this seems to be bringing some memory back. Something but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Watch it, Parker or you're going to be finding my finger somewhere else." Karl warned.

"Promise?" Craig winked.

"So is that a yes or no." Karl swatted Craig's knee.

"What was the question?" Craig asked. He really wanted to hear those words again. He looked down at Karl, seriousness in his eyes, hoping Karl could see how much he loved him.

Karl cleared his throat as he gathered his nerve back up again. The words earlier, while he meant them with all his heart, had shocked him as much as they shocked Craig. He hadn't planned on proposing. It just happened.

He looked up, his eyes locking with Craig's blue ones and he knew this was what he wanted. This man was who he wanted.

"Craig, will you please marry me?"

"Yes." Craig's response came out as a whisper but both men were smiling.

"What did you say? I don't think I heard you. Can you repeat it?" Kaeaseeased making Craig laugh.

"Yes, I said yes!" Craig pulled Karl up, lips meeting half way as he fell back onto the bed with Karl climbing on top of him. Their lips never parted as they reacquainted each other with their bodies.

"Yes," Craig gasped, finally needing air but Karl continued his oral assault. "Oh, yes." He hissed, arching his neck as Karl nipped at the taunt skin. "Mmm, yes." He whispered as Karl continued down his chest, biting at the tiny pebbles on his chest.

"God, yes." Craig groaned as his fingers tangled in Karl's hair. Karl covered his ribs and stomach with more kisses, wet kisses, sloppy kisses, hot kisses. Craig was squirming under his body, back arching and moans flowing continuously from deep inside his chest.

"Oh, fuck yeah." He gasped as Karl engulfed his entire organ into the heat of his mouth.

Karl growled, feeling Craig thicken in his mouth. This felt so right, having this man writhing under him, because of him. He suckled, doing his best at bringing Craig pleasure, wanting to bring him right to the brink.

"Kar..." Craig gasped, his hips bucking up against his will.

Karl pulled back, kissing up well-defined thighs. He wanted this to last as long as possible. Slowly, taking his time on sensitive spots, he made his way back up Craig's body.

Craig devoured his mouth, shoving his tongue into Karl's mouth in a desperate need for more. His lips were met with an equal force, Karl doing all he could to swallow Craig whole.

"Craig, baby," Karl whispered into Craig's ear.

"Yes, luv." Craig answered, lapping at the sweat that ran down the side of Karl's face.

"I need you." Karl growled.

"I'm yours." Craig wrapped his leg around Karl's, grinding their hips together.

Karl growled again, Craig making him dizzy with lust. "I want you...please, baby, I want you in me." Karl finally managed between lustful kisses.

"Yes," Craig whimpered. This was so real, so much more than he'd ever experienced in his entire life. This was what love felt like and he couldn't get enough.

Genthe rhe rolled them over so they were laying side to side facing one another. Craig placed his hand along the sid Kar Karl's heated face and looked him in the eyes. "Are you sure?" He asked.

"I've never been so sure of anything in my life." Karl said, meeting his eyes.

Craig smiled, kissing Karl gently on his nose. "Okay, I just need to get a few things." He rolled away and sat up on the side of the bed.

"Nightstand." Karl pointed, getting an arched eyebrow look from Craig. "Hey, you taught me to always be prepared." He defended himself.

Chuckling, Craig opened the drawer. "That I did." He pulled out a few condoms and a small bottle of lubricant, smiling to see that Karl bought the same brand he used. Craig tossed them onto the bed.

"Any idea how you want to do this, luv?" Craig asked, looking down at his lover. 'God, he was gorgeous,' he thought to himself.

Karl blushed. "Uh, no, you decide. Just don't hurt me." He sounded a bit scared. True, he wanted this but that didn't take away the fear inside of him.

"Karl, darling, I would never hurt you. If it hurts too much, tell me and I'll stop. Even if I never had another chance to make love to you for the rest of eternity, I'd still be madly in love with you." Craig crawled back into bed with him while moving the blankets off the end out of the way.

"I trust you." Karl said, watching Craig.

Craig lay back down, facing Karl as he kissed the larger man gently. "As much as I'd love to watch your face, I think that since this is your first time, all fours would be best." He instructed, getting up on his knees and gathering the pillows.

Karl nodded. He could feel his entire body trembling but he couldn't tell if it was from fear or desire, both battling within himself. Gingerly, he got into position next to Craig, feeling a bit silly.

"Do you realize how incredible you look right now?" Craig reassured him, knowing that look. He bent over Karl's frame, placing the pillows under his torso, lavishing Karl's back with kisses and strokes. He didn't want to move down between Karl's legs until he felt that Karl was ready. "It's okay, darling. Relax." Craig urged, massaging Karl's tense shoulders. Carefully, Craig repositioned him, pushing Karl down so he could rest his head against his own arms on the bed and arching his back so that Karl's ass stuck up midair.

Just about the point that Karl was ready to say forget this because he was embarrassed, he felt Craig's hands on his cheeks, spreading his mounds apart quickly followed by Craig's mouth. Okay, they'd done this before. This was familiar, something Karl could deal with.

"Oh, fuck yeah." Karl moaned loudly as Craig became a bit more insistent with his tongue. Long swipe up the length of his backside, down to the scrotum, sucking like a bloody Hoover and back up over the mounds. Craig had moved behind him without Karl even realizing he'd moved.

"Damn! Yes, like that, oh shit, yes." Karl mumbled as Craig teased the puckered opening. Karl pressed his hips back, needing more, needing to be filled.

Craig pulled back long enough to bring a slick finger up to tease Karl's opening, feeling Karl tense. He alternated tongue with finger until he could feel the tight ring begin to relax. He slipped the digit past the ring, hearing a hiss come from Karl.

"You okay, luv?" He asked, looking up at Karl's turned head. Karl smiled.

"I'm fine. That was more from fear than anything. It doesn't hurt." He reassured Craig.

"Good."ig wig whispered, again turning his attentions to Karl's body, wanting the man to feel everything. He paid homage to Karl's flesh, nipping, kissing and tasting every inch as he slowly moved his finger around, purposely avoiding the one spot he knew would get Karl writhing.

Carefully, he slipped almost out, adding a second digit. Karl moaned a bit but it didn't sound like a pained moan so Craig continued moving, trying to get Karl totally relaxed.

"Relax, baby." Craig kissed up Karl's shoulder, shifting his weight across Karl's back, rocking his own hips against Karl's.

"I am, I'm trying. It's just…Oh, Christ!" He jerked, his hips thrusting against the pillows below him. "Oh, fuck, what was that?" He gasped the jolt of pleasure that shot through his body had been amazing and completely unexpected.

"What? This?" Craig rubbed the same spot again, watching Karl's entire body shudder. He smiled against Karl's shoulder.

"Fuck, yeah!" Karl growled, pushing back against Craig's fingers.

"That, my dear is the exact reason why I never protest to being the bottom." He grinned, varying the pressure, seeing what kind of reactions he could get out of Karl.

"Fuck, you may never get me to fuck you again." Karl chuckled, moaning. Craig inserted a third.

Before long, Karl's body was meeting every thrust and his muscles were loose. He was moaning and begging for more and Craig withdrew completely from his body.

"Are you ready, luv?" He asked, once sheathed, lubed and in position. His own body demanded release and it took everything he had to control his urge to pin Karl to the bed and pound into him.

Karl's entire body was covered in sweat. Craig had taken his time to make sure he was ready to accept what was coming and right now, Karl needed Craig. He needed Craig to take him completely, to join them as one. He nodded, squeezing his eyes shut, expecting intense pain.

Craig groaned as he felt himself smoothly enter the relaxed opening. He held st his his entire body shaking, sweat running down his back. While he preferred to be the receiver, occasionally he did the taking and it was always an intense experience. However, joining with Karl in this way meant so much more. This was the man who had proposed to him.

"You have to tell me when it's okay to move." Craig managed to get out, one hand running palm down across Karl's strong back, the skin slick and hot.

"Please." Karl begged, still trying to figure out what was supposed to be so overwhelming about anal sex. All he knew is he felt full.

Craig slowly, carefully slid completely in, burrowing himself to the limit and holding. He bent over Karl and bit at his shoulder. He was watching Karl's body reactions closely.

"I love you, Karl." He whispered as he withdrew almost all of the way out. Making sure he hit just the right angle, he thrust completely back in quickly, making Karl convulse below him.

"Oh, fuck yeah." Karl groaned, his hips shoving back. Okay, so maybe this wasn't so bad after all.

"Karl…" Craig whispered, bracing his knees, kneeling upright as he began moving inside the heated tunnel. Karl's body hungrily sucked him in as he held onto the hips that were moving constantly against his.

Craig lost himself in the sensations, his love for Karl and every motion and sound the mademade went through his body, surging through his heart and taking over his mind. They moved in perfect sync, both bodies impassioned, everything else ceasing to matter.

Deep, strong pressure, long thrusts followed by quick jabs, all caressing that one spot that shot off such pleasurable jolts, making his heart skip beats and his breathing hitch. Karl had never felt anything close to this feeling of completeness, of being filled, of being taken. All thoughts were gone, his brain unable to form more than primitive sounds, his body moving on instinct alone.

Craig closed his eyes, sweat pouring, burning, blurring his vision. It was getting harder to breathe, his head becoming light from oxygen loss. He could feel his movements becoming more erratic, less graceful as he felt the fire inside of him begin to build. He bent over, changing his angle as he brought his body along Karl's strong back, reached forward and wrapped his fingers around the bobbing, rock hard organ nestled in the moist spot on the pillows. He heard the whimper Karl didn't even try to hide as he began pumping in rhythm with his thrusts.

"Come on, luv. Come with me. God, I love you so much. Please….Karl….oh, yes.." Craig started rambling, his body quickly losing control as he urged Karl along.

Suddenly, Karl gasped, his entire body going rigid for just a brief second, and then his erection began erupting, shooting over and over against his own chest and coating Craig's hand as well as soaking the pillows. He now understood why Craig had placed those pillows there in the first place.

Karl yelled something, quite loudly in fact but Craig couldn't hear as he lost complete control and convulsed inside Karl, his hips slamming against the larger man over and over as he drained his entire body of precious fluids.

Karl's body lost all muscle control as he collapsed down onto the bed, Craig's limp body against his, both men panting for air.

Neither knew how long theyyed yed like that, two bodies completely joined, and the experience so totally overwhelming that there were no words. Somehow, Craig managed to roll off, dispose of the condom and wrapping himself up around Karl, who had dozed off. Craig watched his face through heavy lidded eyes, amazed at the peace he found in Karl's face.

With a smile on his face, he gave in to the exhaustion and let his body drift towards sleep.

In the darkness, one word could be heard whispered into the night.

"Yes."
