((This is it guys, the bonus chapter to Secrets and Lies. Sorry it took so long, had some problems with my wrists partway through and had to shelf the fic while I rested, so it's been sat, incomplete, for a long time. But here it is. Many many thanks to all my readers and even more to my reviewers, you guys kept me going throughout. Hope you enjoy this, and consider it a birthday present for Squall, since it's his birthday today. The previous chapter was the conclusion to the fic, just to clarify, this chapter is just a bonus for all my lovely readers. So without further ado, the bonus epilogue.))

Secrets and Lies
Bonus Epilogue
Wearing Light. Wearing Darkness

The heat was stifling, suffocating and inescapable, especially as a hot hand glided up along the inside of his thigh and pressed just slightly, coaxing him to spread both wider.

Clothing had long since been discarded, scattered haphazardly around them, forgotten once it was no longer hindering them in their quest for smooth, pale skin.

A slick tongue followed that hand, leaving a searing trail in its wake and causing the muscles beneath sweat-slick skin to tense and flex as the man fought against the instinctive need to shift away from the heated but infuriatingly teasing touch. Firm hands gripped his hips though, keeping him securely in place and preventing any kind of movement even if he had lacked the self control to resist the urge to move closer or further away.

A light toss of his head shifted damp brunet bangs from his face as a quiet moan tore through the silence and calloused hands clenched into the sheets beneath him.

A sadistic smirk spread across the lips of the man settled comfortably between his legs but Leon couldn't bring himself to care about how he was being looked at or what expression might be on his bedmate's face. All he cared about was getting the pleasure that Cloud was being so ridiculously slow in giving him. He wanted [i]more[/i].

Letting out a low growl when he tried to shift and encourage the heated touches, the brunet male attempted to make Cloud stop teasing him and touch him properly, but even when he reached between his legs to push the blond's face closer to his aching erection, his partner still refused to do as he was so clearly being urged to.

Leon found his hands pinned above his head as Cloud rose over him, that same smirk still in place, as if he was getting a kick out of denying the gunblader what he truly wanted, and Leon wouldn't have been surprised if that was the case. It was such delicious torture that he wouldn't have their encounters go any other way, especially as he knew the best was yet to come.

"So demanding..." Cloud breathed over his lips as he leaned in, pinning the brunet's body beneath his own. "Patience Squall." He murmured, licking at the male's bottom lip before pulling away. "You'll get what you want soon enough. I know how much you crave it..."

As the blond sat up again, leaving the brunet beneath him panting slightly and flushed with arousal and anticipation, Cloud reached for the potion he would use for lubrication and held it tauntingly above the pinned gunblader, watching those dark blue/grey eyes follow the swing of the vial as it was waved above him. There was no need for more foreplay, Cloud had been mercilessly teasing the brunet to within moments of orgasm for long enough already and he'd enjoyed every second of watching the normally composed man come apart at the seams.

Leon looked so beautiful beneath him, his pale skin contrasting delightfully with the deep red sheets that were rumpled below his perfect body; that body coated with a light sheen of sweat which seemed to shine even when there was so little light cast upon them. His hair was fanned out around his head, his jaw and neck marked with bites, but it was his eyes that captivated him. They were deep blue/grey, darkened with more than just lust.

They were darkened by the shadow that had already consumed Cloud.

Without wasting any more time looking over the body that was all his to taste and touch and tear apart, Cloud uncorked the potion and poured it onto his hand, coating his fingers. Within moments, he had Leon squirming above him, pushing back onto the penetrating fingers as they rubbed against his prostate, pushing the brunet to the very brink of insanity but not allowing him to topple over the edge. Cloud held him back, gripping and squeezing the base of the gunblader's heavy erection even as the incoherent moans rose in volume, in desperation.

Only when the brunet had backed away from orgasm yet again did he slick up his own cock with the potion and position himself at the stretched entrance before he pushed the smooth head inside. The way the gunblader twisted above him with a deep groan of want made it difficult to hold himself back and he blamed it on the brunet when he thrust forwards in a motion that was mostly uncontrolled.

It was impossible to determine whether the moan that spilled from the gunblader's lips was one of pain or pleasure but it didn't matter because Leon was spreading his legs wider, reaching for the blond to pull him closer, deeper. No matter how many times Cloud had him like that, writhing beneath him like a wanton whore, he knew that he'd never get tired of seeing the gunblader reduced to the mess of lust sprawled on the sheets for his pleasure.

The gunblader reached up to cling to the blond, arms gripping the man's shoulders and digging in as if to anchor himself against the rush of feeling induced by the shift of the blond's hips. When Cloud slid out of him and then back in more swiftly and with more force, that was when Leon began to show his true colours. Blunt nails raked down the swordsman's shoulders leaving red trails in their wake, and as another impossibly deep thrust rocked him up, the brunet sank his teeth into the junction of neck and shoulder hard enough to break the skin and a deep moan from the blond rewarded his aggression.

He rocked down with each penetrating thrust, feeling the blond's thick cock reach further nearly each time they came together until he wasn't sure where Cloud ended and he began.

As Cloud's blood mingled with the sweat coating them both, the blond leaned in for a harsh kiss, dominating it and delighting in the way Leon pressed closer to him so that they were touching everywhere, the gunblader clearly drowning in the passion shared between them. Saliva trailed from the corner of slick lips when they parted again and Cloud began really thrusting hard, the sound of skin slapping against skin rising above their collective moans.

Leon was too far gone to form any kind of coherent words, had been for a long time already as Cloud had spent hours peeling away the carefully maintained control that formed the brunet's armour. All he knew was deep, dark pleasure, the feel of Cloud everywhere, smothering him, suffocating him even as he begged for more.

It was the urgency in Leon's moans that clued Cloud in to the fact that the brunet was close to orgasm again and he couldn't help the cruel smile that curled his lips as he wondered for a moment just how many times the gunblader had been brought to that delicious edge already, without being permitted to release. Beneath him, Leon's eyes were squeezed shut, his expression showing a mixture of distress and anticipation. He would probably break if denied orgasm yet again.

"Come for me..." Cloud breathed against the brunet's lips, punctuating the statement with an angled thrust that slid firmly against the gunblader's prostate and that was all it took.

Leon came hard, splashing hot white fluid between them, reaching as high as their faces with the force of it as it swept him away, leaving him panting hard, eyes hazy and his grip loosening on the blond's shoulder blades. He'd probably torn the male's back to shreds as the pleasure reached heights that he'd never before thought possible.

Feeling the tight passage clenching around his own erection, Cloud rocked into the gunblader a few final times before he too felt his climax rush over him. Remaining buried inside the male for the time being, he looked down at his spent partner with a lazy smirk, leaning in to lick up drops of cum that splattered the brunet's mouth and chin. He received a weary moan for his actions, and the exhausted brunet barely participated in the kiss that Cloud forced on him, prompting the blond male to make a dissatisfied noise, suffice to say that when he was next kissed, the gunblader attempted to give as much as he was being given, overcoming his exhaustion to pour everything he had into that one kiss.

Even a being of darkness could still love, should one so choose to.

Around them, the darkness seemed to shift and shrink away as light was permitted to bathe the pair recovering on the bed, illuminating their sweat slick bodies, the red marks left by teeth and nails, the singular trail of blood that had left a bright trail down Cloud's chest.

Leon made a distinctly unimpressed noise and cringed away from the brightness that penetrated their dark little sanctuary, prompting Cloud to chuckle quietly and brush away sweat damp bangs from the brunet's face, letting the light strike him without obstruction, despite the gunblader's obvious discomfort.

"You wear the light quite well..." The blond mused aloud, touching his fingertips to the brunet's lips and trailing them lightly over the swollen bottom one.

"But you wear the darkness better."
