Shifting himself to block out as much excess sun as possible Kade continued to drip cool water onto Nash's forehead and temples before shifting slightly to let it run down the back of his neck. From all of that clothing and the sweat that had been visible even on such pale skin it was a wonder that the streamwater didn't just evaporate on contact. Being himself Kade also couldn't help but be a little wicked and want to elicit more of those pretty sounds from the other man. November was the kind of guy that you had to earn every single smile, complement, or well-wish from meaning that he was not at all Kade's type. Not remotely. But here he was cajoling the little brute into taking care of himself. Tormenting his own self with wanting to lick some of that water... Unable to resist any kind of temptation when it offered itself the brunet leaned forward so that his lips brushed exposed skin at Nash's shoulder. "Mmm. Thirsty..."

It felt better than he wanted to admit; and even less did he want to admit that Kade had been right, because Nash could only imagine the triumphant smirk he would get in return. But it was also hard not to think about how nice this was, to have some of the blistering heat eased away by such a simple thing.
His eyes were still closed. He let himself be a little lost in this sensation, a soft sigh leaving his throat again.
At least until he felt something else on his bare shoulder, something that definitely was not water.
Nash's eyes opened, his expression muted, though he didn't jerk away.
"What, pray tell, are you doing?"

Honestly, Kade was a little surprised that he wasn't immediately shoved away by an outraged, overheated Nash. He'd been dizzy and sweaty but he wasn't dehydrated enough to not be able to at least halfheartedly push at the brunet, and that's all it would have taken. A no was a no; it didn't matter how loud or strong it was, he got the message every time. Encouraged by the dry words he moved a little lower to catch another drop of water on his lips. "Just cooling off. Keeping from getting dehydrated." Part of him wanted to ask what the problem was, ask if maybe Nash wanted him to stop, but no. This was too much of a good thing to stop now. As part of a distraction he lifted a cupped hand full of water and let it spill down the shoulder he was currently not in the middle of half-kissing.

It was undeniably hot on the island, but the water was beautifully cool and helping to ease a little bit of Nash's surly mood.
Sort of. He was still grumpy and overheated and tired, but minus his multiple layers, he was starting to feel significantly better. It had, he told himself, nothing to do with Kade's dark eyes or his wicked smile or the fact that Nash had not had any physical contact with anyone in days or weeks or months or some ridiculous amount of time he couldn't keep track of anymore.
"That's not..." Nash's voice tailed off as Kade's lips traveled along his shoulder, not quite kissing, but not quite not kissing, either. The water sliding across his other shoulder made his lashes flutter, Nash's head falling forward, lips parting as a breath escaped.
"That's not how you keep from getting dehydrated," Nash pointed out, but he still hadn't pushed Kade away.

Fingers trailed the water that was even now spilling down over Nash's tattoos on his left arm, lips still lightly sipping water from the right shoulder. Now Kade was becoming more daring, moving up towards the heat and pounding pulse in the other man's neck. It hadn't been so very long for him because there was not a lack of willing participants here on the island, but he remembered the truth circle. Remembered the way he'd reacted with interest when Nash grumbled. "Depends on the thirst, darling." You could hear the cocky grin in the brunet's voice as he took an incredible amount of liberty. He'd been cool enough before but now his own blood was warming up from just this little game. Teeth scraped next, another tease, another bit of confidence. "Trust me."

It was in this moment that Nash decided he hated Kade.
There was something distinctly unfair about a man with as good looking a face (and body) as he did, who was also confident and snarky in a way that should have been obnoxious, but to Nash was an unfortunate and particularly annoying weakness.
His pulse fluttered under Kade's mouth. Nash made a soft, unintentional noise at the scrape of teeth against his throat, head tilting instinctively to allow more access without him actually intending to do either of these things in the first place.
"You say that - " Nash inwardly swore at his slightly breathless tone. " - and yet what makes you think I have any reason at all to trust you?"

A good question and it was both pleasing and annoying that it was asked. Kade didn't really like stupid people. He'd been forced to interact with a lot of them when gambling and taking their money he was more than happy to do. And you definitely didn't have to talk during sex so looks could make up for stupidity but overall? He didn't like stupid people and November was turning out to be not that stupid. Another handful of water spilled down both of Nash's shoulders but it wasn't so that his new friend could take advantage of drinking it off warm skin. It was just to enjoy the feel of that jerk of surprise from cool water against heated flesh. "Mm, your body seems to." Hands were drifting lower now to stroke what exposed skin he could reach, lips skimming over the edge of Nash's jaw near his ear. Kade's voice was more than a little smug as he spoke, cocky and very sure of himself, into that ear. "Don't you want to trust me? I'm taking care of you." In more ways than one apparently.

The spill of water made him hiss, Nash flinching instinctively at the cold; but it wasn't a flinch of displeasure, only instinctive. He was becoming less focused on that and more focused on the way that Kade's mouth felt against his jaw, brushing against his ear. It sent a shiver up and down Nash's spine, a visible shudder even as he tried to fight against it.
Kade's hands were roaming. Nash's were currently curled over the edge of where he sat, willing himself to not get swept away by this, except it was becoming rapidly clear that he was, in fact, getting swept away by this. It had been so outrageously long; he was a physical person by nature, whether to just touch or lean against or be more intimate with, it didn't matter.
And Kade was everything that Nash both hated and preferred in a partner.
It was unbelievably, spectacularly unfair.
The murmured words against his ear made another shiver go through him. Nash's lashes fluttered.
"My body is a dirty ******** liar," he managed to get out, which was a dirty ******** lie in and of itself, especially considering he wasn't fighting this at all, except internally. Nash's face was flushed now, and not just from the hot weather.
"That...depends." Forming words was becoming harder. "On what...you mean by...taking care of me."

Normally a person should have felt guilty about the fact that they were trying to be sexually involved with a person that they considered to be completely adorable. Kade was not one of those people. He found the surly reluctance mixed with the fact that Nash was all but writhing like a whore for him absolutely precious and a dangerous aphrodisiac. It made him feel like the Big Bad Wolf and that was never easy to walk away from. Very lightly his teeth nibbled on the fleshy part of the ear he'd been crooning into as he oh-so-lightly skimmed fingers over whatever skin he could get access to. "Well I saved you from fainting from heat stroke. Now let me save you from a different kind of agony..." And from the hand that slid down first to Nash's inner thigh, then a bit higher to touch him most intimately, it was pretty damn obvious what Kade meant. Feeling the interest there his laugh was delighted, wickedly so. "And I don't know, darling, I'd say your body knows exactly what it wants."

How long had they been stuck here?
Too long, by Nash's count. Even just a few days felt like forever in a place that was approximately the size of someone's backyard and where the only things to eat around here were coconuts, fish, and all of the delicious drama that would inevitably crop up if they were left here too long. Nash had only been on the island - the actual, real island, Deus - for a few weeks, and before that, it had been at least four or five months since he'd last been with anyone. Which, for Nash, was something of a record, and not a good one.
He was used to physical contact. He was used to wanting it, to instigating it, to liking it, to promoting the healthy lifestyle of intimacy and relaxation. He was not used to not having it, and it had been long enough that he was reacting as though it had been forever.
It had been forever. And everything about Kade should have been obnoxious and annoying, which was why, for no earthly reason that Nash could determine, was exactly why he liked it. The confident smugness was, unfortunately, a perk in his book, even if he'd never admit it.
He really, really needed to find a better type to be into. Except there was no helping that, just as there was no helping the small, sharp intake of breath as Kade's teeth moved across his ear and the even sharper, less controlled sound that Nash made as Kade's hand moved innapropriately higher.
Nash's head tilted back a little, lashes fluttering as his eyes fell half lidded. He reached up and threaded fingers through Kade's hair, then tugged his head back so that he could stop being distracted by that mouth on his ear - and also so he could see Kade's face, though he made no move to do anything more than this.
It also - unhelpfully - put Kade's face only a few inches from Nash's. Nash's gaze flickered to Kade's mouth instinctively then back up again.
"You're awfully confident," he bit out, the words coming out breathier than he had intended, fingers tightening in Kade's hair. "And awfully handsy."

Had he known that Nash had gone five months or more without having his cork popped by anything other than his own hand he would have been twice as insistent as he was right now. Scholars would have argued that was not possible but the verdict was still out on whether or not Kade was too aggressive or just aggressive enough. There was a completely unrepentant chuckle at being called handsy. "All you have to do is say stop...but I don't see that happening. You seem to be all to happy to let me touch you." And touch Nash he did. There wasn't a whole lot of time or room for talking when their mouths met and tangled hotter than the island sun. Kade definitely wasn't interested in talking as both of them lost more and more clothing. By the time he was interested in talking again he was twice as smug as the cat who caught the canary, again drizzling water over Nash's chest and stomach, propped up on one arm to grin at him. "I think we can both agree that I'm good at this."

"Am not," was the instinctive and immediate reply just before Kade's mouth covered his own in a searing kiss that effectively managed to shut him up, Nash's fingers tangling in Kade's damp hair.
It took some time in getting all of Nash's shirts off; he was, after all, wearing a lot of layers, but really, Kade had been right even if Nash wasn't ever going to admit it. It was a lot easier to breathe and move around when one wasn't encumbered by sweltering fabric.
And, well. Five months of going without anything to having that streak broken by this - Nash was absolutely not going to say that it had been almost worth the wait, it had been that good, because as it turned out, Kade was extremely good with his hands.
And everything else.
It didn't help with the heat problem, but it certainly helped with everything else. Nash's hair was spread out beneath him as his breathing slowly returned to normal(ish), his eyes closed. One arm was still splayed sideways, fingers curled beside his head, the other hand resting on his stomach, water dripping over the back of it.
"Yeah, right," Nash mumbled, but it came out sounding rough and satisfied, as boneless and relaxed as a cat. "It was okay."

Nash was a dirty ******** liar and they both knew it. Instead of getting irritated about it, however, Kade was just that much more smug about the fact that he seemed to get under the pale man's skin. And then was against all that skin and was more than delighted by what he found there. The original mission of making sure that Nash didn't get overheated was a bit sidetracked, overall, but it was alright. There were other (much more vital) needs that were taken care of before the Sun trainee went back to his original goal. Plus now that Nash was naked he definitely was not going to overheat. Eyes narrowed at the idea that what had just happened was okay before he snorted and rolled onto his back himself, sprawling like a smug cat. "Sure thing, darling. What eeeever you say." Obviously his ego was a lot harder to damage than Nash was hoping. "But at least you won't pass out from heat stroke."

He wanted to either smack that smugness off of Kade's handsome face or kiss it off, and neither were really viable options at the present moment, if only because Nash was too sated and relaxed to actually feel like moving. In spite of the tiredness and the heat and the overall ludicrousness of their situation, Nash hadn't felt this good in months.
"You and your darlings," he muttered now, opening his eyes so that he could turn his head and look sideways at Kade, stretched out beside him, lazy and lithe. Nash let his gaze travel across that broad chest, dipping ever so briefly lower before raising it again; after a moment, he rolled over himself, onto his stomach, pillowing his head beneath his folded arms. The position didn't take him farther away from Kade; they were still side by side, brushing against each other every few minutes.
"If I'm going to die of either heat stroke or sex, I'll pick sex any day," Nash said, a few strands of hair falling over his still flushed face. He eased out a breath.
"Do you do this to all of your potential heat stroke patients?"
