 *Flames crackled as the bonfire lunged against the sky. The circle 
 chanted and hummed, the two figures in the center strong and smooth as
 the fire sculpted their bodies. Passion crackled in the air as the
 slender one lifted his hand and caressed the cheek of the sturdier one.
 His eyes were the color of the forest as he moved his body close, losing
 himself in eyes the color of the sky. Their lips met, tongues
 entwining, and their cocks touched as hands slipped up strong thighs to
 cup well-rounded buttocks.
 
 A tongue flicked out and licked a budding nipple, the delicious
 Canadian flinging his head back and moaning deep in his throat. The
 American lapped at the sensitive nub, sucking it gently as his emerald
 eyes caught fire. His mouth came up and devoured the Canadian's again,
 and the chants grew louder. Their bodies meshed.
 
 A finger slipped inside the Canadian's cheeks and he gasped, mouth
 still caught. Released, he slid bonelessly down to his knees, the world
 spinning as he licked the burgeoning cock that danced in front of his
 face, his hands clutching the gleaming thighs to his face. He ran his
 tongue up and down velvety flesh, the American growling, fingers
 entwining in his hair as his head was lifted. The demand was growled
 and he obeyed, swallowing his beloved whole.
 
 He always loved this taste, this arousal, this pure, animal sex. 
 He sucked and moved his body against his Yankee's, and elegant fingers
 brushed his warm cheek. He looked up through demure lashes and felt the
 fires burn into his heart and soul.
 
 The American narrowed his eyes. How *dare* his Canuck look so
 ready to...fuck? His groin screamed its need, and he took a look at the
 body so close to him, thighs apart and rosy cock glowing in the
 firelight. A tremor went through him. He tugged sharply on the other's
 hair.
 
 The Canadian released him, and kissed his thighs, then turned on
 all fours, opening himself to his captor. For he would always be thus,
 this possession, and he would demand it in turn. And he could feel the
 aromatic oil worked into him, preparing him, the smoke dizzying his
 senses as his chest heaved. Drops of sweat disappeared into the rich
 earth, its fresh spring smell filling him.
 
 His lover eased home, filling him, and sweet ecstasy burst within
 him as the chants hummed and sighed, hypnotic and tempting, and the
 woodsmoke teased along his nostrils as the scent of arousal darted here
 and there in the air. The Moon shone down, and he was transported, like
 a slave on a galley ship on a moonlit night on the open sea, his Roman
 impaling him as he whispered his mastery.
 
 The American was enclosed, warm flesh sending jolts of pleasure
 through him. So it would always be, this possession, and he would
 demand it in turn. Heat prickled his skin and pleasured his cock,
 stinging sweat rolling down his chest and stomach to lightly kiss his
 beloved's buttocks, his own cock thrusting in, out, in, out...
 
 Possessed. Loved. Claimed.
 
 The fires burned hottest, the Moon shone coolest, the chants
 spiralled up to a great shout...and the cascade burst into a thousand
 suns, the love that dare not speak its name shouting from the
 rooftops... 
 
 * * * * * *
 
 The fire wound down, the Great Rite was completed, the Goddess
 honored.
 Two lovers slept, bound in body and soul as they encircled one
 another.*
