"Regulus," James murmurs against his skin, his voice gravelly and warm, "You're perfect, you know that?" His lips brush along the shell of Regulus' ear, sending shivers down his spine.
"Shut up," Regulus whispers, though his voice lacks any bite. His face is burning, his breathing uneven as James rocks into him, slow and deliberate. "You-you're driving me insane."
"Good," James replies, his tone full of smug affection. His hands are everywhere-one steady on Regulus' hip, the other tracing idle circles on his lower back, grounding and teasing all at once. "I love seeing you like this, Reggie. Falling apart for me."
Regulus whimpers, burying his face in the sheets. "You're-ah- unbearable," he gasps, his fingers gripping the fabric so tightly his knuckles turn white. "James, please-"
James hums again, slowing down even more, his thrusts maddeningly precise. He shifts slightly, angling his hips in a way that makes Regulus cry out, his back arching involuntarily.
"That's it," James encourages, his voice soft but firm. "Let me hear you. Don't hide, love. I want to know how good you feel."
Regulus shakes his head, embarrassed, but the sounds spilling from his lips betray him- high-pitched, desperate, and raw. James rewards him with another deep, perfectly timed thrust, and Regulus lets out a broken sob.
"God, James-" Regulus manages, his voice cracking as he feels every nerve in his body light up. He's trembling, every fiber of him strung tight, the slow burn sending him teetering on the edge.
James chuckles softly, his breath hot against Regulus' neck. "That's it baby," he whispers, pressing a tender kiss just below his ear. "So beautiful, Reggie. You're everything to me."
Regulus clenches around him again, and James groans, the sound reverberating through both of them.
"You're gonna be the death of me," Regulus mutters breathlessly, his head turning slightly so their eyes meet.
"And you'll survive," James teases, his hand moving up to tangle in Regulus' hair, gently tugging until their mouths meet in a heated kiss. It's messy, all teeth and tongues and unspoken promises, and Regulus can barely think beyond how full he feels, how utterly consumed he is by James.
"I love you," James murmurs against his lips, his voice steady even as his pace falters. "Always, Regulus. You're mine, just as I'm yours."
Regulus nods, too overwhelmed to speak, his body trembling as he reaches his peak. James follows soon after, his movements slowing as they ride out the wave together.
Afterward, they collapse into the sheets, tangled in each other. James pulls Regulus close, kissing his temple as their breathing evens out.
"Still unbearable," Regulus mumbles, though the smile tugging at his lips betrays him.
James laughs, pressing another kiss to his hair. "And you love me for it."
"Unfortunately," Regulus sighs, his voice soft as he nestles into James' chest, their bodies fitting perfectly together.
