So he does, his eyes drawn to the stretch of skin visible above Sin's jeans before he flushes and looks up at the stars.

Sinric takes his hand, entwining their fingers and stroking his thumb over the soft skin of Athelstan's inner wrist. "Open your mind, let the world expand. Feel the grass under you, the life inside it striving ever upwards. Feel the star light fall on you, travelling millions and millions of years just to caress your skin."

Sin's voice is a sensual purr, hypnotic and warm. "Feel the currents of the air around us. Breathe deep and let it fill you, replenish you. Feel the turn of the earth slow and your body grow light."

Athelstan closes his eyes, cutting off the input from them to focus on everything else, and does his best to follow Sin's instructions.

"Have you..." he starts softly. "You've done this before."

"Oh yes. Enlightenment is a more powerful drug than anything I carry in my stash." He arches up a little, letting go of Athelstan's hand for long enough to shed his blouse and bra. "And it feels so much more intense naked."

If Athelstan look, what he'll see is Sin's bared chest; the feminine demeanour unbroken by small, girlish breasts, nipples glittering with ruby studded piercing. Narrow hips still encased in leather.

He leans over Athelstan, sliding a warm hand under his shirt to push it off.

That gets a nervous glance around, still not quite free of his old caution, but there's no one in sight.

He looks into Sin's eyes, then sits up enough to let his shirt come off.

Sin's eyes are warm and deep, holding so much promise. He kisses Athelstan, taking the historian's hands in his and laying him back down on the grass. Warm breasts brush against his side as Sin kneels over him, a hand still on his wrists.

"Close your eyes and feel. Close your eyes and let the world take you. I have hold of you, I won't let you float away. You're safe with me." He chants rhythmic, singing Athelstan further into the trance. He presses a finger to Athelstan's lips and past them, encouraging him to suck."

For some reason he doesn't fully understand, he trusts Sin and lets himself go where he's guided.

The feeling of a finger passing his lips is new, and he's not sure what to do, but his tongue flicks experimentally at it.

Sin's song doesn't falter but there is a note of breathlessness about it as Athelstan licks his fingertip. Sin pumps it slowly before withdrawing. He slides the finger down Athelstan's chin, his throat and onto his chest, leaving damp trails that stand out against the warm air.

He draws patterns then, ancient mystic symbols that light up Athelstan's sensitised nerves. Twice, three times he returns to Athelstan's mouth, his fingers skimming the rims of Athelstan's nipples, the bisecting lines of his chest, the soft trail of fine hair that leads to the waistband of his jeans.

Athelstan gasps at the touch trailing down towards there, and though he's never learned what to do, his body knows what it wants.

Sin leans in, kissing the apex of the spiral he just drew at the midpoint between Athelstan's naval and his waistband. He can feel the heat on Athelstan, singing a breath from his skin so the vibrations play over his sensitised flesh.

"Feel the tide rising inside you." Sin urges, his own voice breathless and warm. "Feel the moon and the stars caress you. Feel the longing flow in your veins, warming every part of you. Feel the waves crash with unspoken desire. Feel it. Oh yes." Sin moans, his voice shaking with desires.

He's not sure he can bring this beautiful man to orgasm just like this but he wants to find out.

Oh yes, he can. With this inexperienced young man, in this sensitised state and on this beautiful night, he can.

"I feel it", he echoes dreamily, voice soft and rough with the flood of sensation. "And I feel you."

"Then feel me. Feel my heat, my desire for you." His runs his hands up Athelstan's arms, cupping his wrists and holding him in place again. He holds his chest mere millimetres away from Athelstan's, his body radiating with heat. "Feel me inside you, flooding every part of you. Worshipping at the altar of your body, slaking my thirst at the spring of your passion."

The only part of them touching is their hands and Sin presses them together, flexing with the cadence of his words and the rolling rhythm of thrusts. "Share with me your need, your joy. Cry your desires to the stars and let us fall together in passion."

He wants to touch Sin's chest, but his hands are being held down and the skin of palm against thin wrist is sensation enough.

Athelstan cries out, choked.

Sin moans, his grip tightening. "Yes, oh yes!" There's no doubt about the passion behind his sounds, his touch electric against Athelstan's skin.

He's not inside Sinric, there's at least three layers of cloth between them, but they might as well not be there at all.

"Kiss me?" he manages to say.

Sin smiles and presses their lips together like a blessing, like the ritual conclusion of some deep awakening. He relaxes his grip, smoothing his hands down Athelstan's arms to cup his cheeks. "Yes." It sounds like a promise and a gift all at once.

It's the final swell of sensation, the kiss and the touch on his hot skin, that send him over the edge into a racking orgasm.

Sin holds him through it, keeping his word he'd keep Athelstan grounded.

When the wave has broken and gone back out to sea, Sin lays down next to him and takes Athelstan in his arms. He rocks Athelstan against his bare chest and singing him down like a child.

It's the first time he's felt it, even by his own doing, and he shivers with the aftershocks of pleasure in Sin's arms.

Sin's arms are a protective circle around him, his song soft as he strokes Athelstan's back.

The drugs will be wearing off soon, adding a little more to the lethargy Athelstan might feel but will do him no harm other than that. A big glass of water and a nap and he'll be fine.

He's going to be wanting a bed soon, but the soft grass might be good enough. He leans into Sin's arms comfortably.

"Beautiful boy." Sin purrs, kissing the top of his head. He pulls his jacket over both of them, making a warm little tent of their bodies. "How do you feel?"

He's curled up like a child against Sin, and smiles.

"Like I never have before."

Sin smiles and brings him up into a very soft kiss. "Then you have begun your journey. And I'm honoured to be with you for your first steps."

"You knew how to make it happen. You and - and Ragnar."

He doesn't know what it is about Ragnar, but he can't imagine not knowing him now.
