Alec groaned at the sensation, feeling Richard all around him and it was everything he needed and only half of what he wanted. It was difficult for the moment to focus on anything more than the sensation itself, so he didn't try, knowing that Richard would understand, might even appreciate that he'd driven Alec to feeling this so quickly.

Then he recovered, as much as he needed to, still unable to concentrate beyond the facts of what they were doing -- and wasn't that nice, wasn't that the best -- and he started to move, pulling out of Richard just so he could press back in, just so that he could fill him all over again.

So they could both feel that intimacy and Alec wasn't a man to pray, loathed it, but this was proof that he didn't need to.
