Why am I here? Why do we keep doing this? It was easy to explain the first time – when we were both drunk off our asses and desperately needed to get laid. But we couldn't blame alcohol on this.” Dedication: To Gin, who pushed me relentlessly to finish this story and everybody who sent me feedback for Intoxicated. Author's Notes: This is the sequel to Intoxicated, which you can find on my website (listed above), although it could really stand alone. This is very much PWP. No plot. Not much substance. Just pages and pages of sex between two hot guys, loosely tied together with small doses of angst and domestic fluffiness. Sobriety By Diandra Hollman This wasn't the first time I had stood outside his door trying to rally up enough nerve to knock. Despite living on opposite sides of the country, we had managed to arrange several...meetings just in the few months we had known each other. One of the perks of having a job that requires a lot of travel. Or one of its drawbacks depending on how you look at it. No matter how many times I had done this, though, there was always a moment where I wondered what the hell I was doing. Why am I here? Why do we keep doing this? It was easy to explain the first time - when we were both drunk off our asses and desperately needed to get laid. But we couldn't blame alcohol on this. /Just do it, Spooky, he already knows you're coming./ I knocked, then waited nervously for the now-familiar sound of the tumblers as he unlocked the door and opened it slowly. "Agent Vaughn," I said pleasantly. "Agent Mulder," he parroted. This had become almost routine with us. The stilted greetings; the slightly uncomfortable looks. If there was one word I could use to describe the look on Vaughn's face as the silence stretched on, that word would be 'sheepish'. Almost like he was ashamed to admit that he wanted this just as much as I did. He stepped aside, allowing me to enter, then closed and re- locked the door behind me. There was a lengthy pause then as we just stood facing each other, waiting to see who would make the first move. This was also part of the routine. Finally, I gave in and closed the gap between us, framing his face between my hands and pressing my mouth firmly to his. His mouth opened immediately, accepting my tongue with a deep sigh. His hands reached up to loosen my tie as my own hands dropped to his waist, pulling him closer. He wrapped his arms around my neck, throwing my tie behind me and moaned as I abandoned his lips to kiss and lick at his neck. "Bedroom," he murmured, his voice already husky. I smiled into his skin and unbuckled his belt, throwing it in the same direction he had sent my tie. "Mulder," he moaned as I found the sensitive spot just below his ear. His fingers wrapped in the hair at the back of my head and tugged lightly. If there's one thing I learned fairly quickly about Vaughn it is that he doesn't give up easily. I let go of him, pulled off my coat - throwing it on a nearby chair - and started for the bedroom without a word. I didn't need to ask, I knew exactly where it was. He followed me. When I reached the bed I turned and drew him back into my arms, mouths meeting again briefly before I pushed him onto the mattress. I followed him, straddling his hips, hovering over him, and reclaimed his mouth. He fumbled as he tried to unbutton my shirt. I, on the other hand, simply ripped at his, sending several buttons to the floor. "I should just answer the door naked," he muttered dryly. "If you're gonna keep ruining my clothes..." He was cut off as I plunged my tongue back into his mouth. The minutes after that were a blur of clothing being removed and hands, lips and tongues exploring newly exposed skin. Finally, we were kneeling, naked, in the middle of the bed. My arms wrapped around him from behind as I continued to kiss and lick every inch of his neck and left shoulder. He let his head drop back onto my shoulder with a resigned groan. "Thanks for that hickey last time, by the way," he muttered sarcastically. "I had to put up with Weiss' nagging for a week." Weiss. Weiss? I searched my memory for that name. Oh, yeah. Vaughn's friend. Vaughn had mentioned him before. "What did you tell him," I asked curiously as I reached for the tube of lubricant I had dropped on the bed earlier - alongside a condom. "That it was none of his damn business," he grumbled. "What else was I supposed to say?" He groaned as my fingers massaged his opening, spreading a generous amount of lube. Then he gasped as I plunged two fingers inside abruptly, twisting my wrist slowly to stretch the tight ring of muscles. By the time I had worked a fourth finger inside him he had arched his back, pushing his hips back against me, panting. I managed to get the condom on me in record time and plunged into him with no further warning. He stiffened with a soft, startled cry. I paused, content to give him as much time as he needed to adjust to the sudden intrusion. I placed one hand on his abdomen to hold him still and tipped his head back with the other. I slowly licked at the moisture beading on his throat, feeling the distinct bob of his Adam's apple against my tongue. After about a minute of that, he reached up to pull my hand away from his chin and gripped my hair as his lips found mine again. When I pulled back I noted the overly-bright and slightly- dazed look in his eyes with pride. His hand covered mine where it still rested on his abdomen and guided it lower to his growing erection. I brushed my fingers over it lightly, teasingly, and smiled as Vaughn moaned and let his head fall back on my shoulder again. I traced one finger along the sensitive vein on the underside and he squirmed. "God," he gasped. "Now...please." I pulled out of him leisurely and pushed back in just as slowly, just as torturously. He sighed and reached back to clutch at my thighs, pulling me tighter against him. I wrapped my hand loosely around his length, stroking him in the same slow rhythm as my thrusts, rubbing my thumb over the tip to spread the escaping moisture over him. His hips circled with mine, meeting me thrust for thrust. He tried to speed up the rhythm, but I refused to comply, returning the hand not wrapped around his erection to his abdomen to steady him. He groaned in frustration and dug his fingers into my thighs with a bruising grip. "Fuck," he breathed. "I'm trying to," I said, smiling. He tried to glare at me, but was distracted as my next thrust caused me brush against his prostate. His body twitched. The hard length in my hand throbbed and grew even longer, thicker. He trembled, panting as his arousal heightened. And then he started babbling. This is the part I love most about these encounters. The moment when he becomes completely incoherent, abandoning all control and giving in to mindless pleasure. His rantings are sometimes in English, sometimes in French and always unintelligible. I can only guess what he's saying by the tone of his voice, which I've gotten very good at interpreting, actually. At that particular moment, I knew he was begging me to let him come. And I caved in, of course. I always do. I pushed him down until he was on all fours and waited for him to steady himself. Then I resumed my thrusts, this time at an only slightly faster rate. He made a noise deep in his throat, much like a growl, and tried to reach his left hand back to touch his suddenly neglected cock. He faltered halfway there, losing his balance and nearly crashing into the mattress. He returned his hand to the bed, bracing himself against me with a low, frustrated whimper. I was tempted to reach underneath him and stroke him myself, but I knew he would come quickly if I did and, while I knew it was a bit selfish, I didn't want it to end so soon. I looked down to where we were joined. This was my new guilty pleasure. I found watching the way his tiny opening stretched, spreading wide to accommodate me incredibly erotic. Both of our bodies were slick with lubricant and sweat, making our movements deliciously smooth and slippery. I was happy to notice that Vaughn had left his full-length mirror turned towards the bed so I could watch his thick, swollen member bob with every thrust. It had turned a dark crimson, heavy with blood, beads of moisture glistening on the tip before falling to stain the sheets below. He lowered himself until he rested on his forearms, no longer able to hold himself up, and moaned deeply at the new sensations brought out by the change of angle. I hissed as his already-tight channel squeezed even tighter and he made a noise similar to a sob as he was stretched impossibly wider. He pushed his hips back into me mindlessly, matching my even tempo. Vaughn's hands clenched tightly, twisting into the cool sheets as if he were grasping for control even as it spun rapidly away from him. He pressed his cheek into the mattress, giving me a full view of his profile. And that is what finally did me in. Seeing the way his cheeks were flushed, his half-closed eyes dark and unfocused, his full lips parted with his jagged breaths, completely shattered my careful control. I sped up, slamming into him so hard he probably wouldn't be able to sit - not to mention walk normally - for days. I wondered what Weiss would have to say about *that*. Especially if it was coupled with another hickey... Then all other thoughts fell away in favor of focusing on bringing us both to a climax. I held his hips firmly - no doubt leaving finger-shaped bruises - and pounded into him, making sure I was at just the right angle to come into contact with his prostate every time. His forehead creased, his eyes slamming tightly shut, and his mouth fell open in a silent scream as he reached the edge, ready to fall. Just one more thrust...two...three... His whole body spasmed as his orgasm hit him full force. From the corner of my eye I saw the reflection of his cock as it throbbed, splashing hot, milky fluid over his stomach and onto the bed. Amazingly, despite the amount of noise he makes at first, he always comes quietly. His soft, choked-off gasps were almost entirely drowned out by my loud groan as his clenching muscles pulled me over the edge right behind him. When the world came back into focus and my breathing returned to some semblance of normal, I found myself draped over Vaughn's back, my quivering arms barely holding me up. I moved to pull out of him, but he moaned in protest. "Don' move..." Somehow I managed to summon up enough strength to roll us both onto our right sides without breaking our connection. I reached for a nearby tissue and tried to clean the worst of the mess from his belly, throwing it in the general direction of the trash basket. He sighed and relaxed into my arms. I kissed the back of his neck and drew circles on his abdomen with my fingertips until he hummed contentedly. I tried not to think about how I knew that he liked this. Tried not to acknowledge that we had gone through a similar routine so many times that I knew where, when and how he liked to be touched. But I couldn't even fool myself into believing that it was nothing. My fingers trailed up his arm and began tracing the intricate design of the tattoo that covered his left shoulder. "What does this mean anyway," I asked absently. He shifted slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position. "I don't know," he mumbled. "I just thought it looked cool at the time." I traced over the letters at the bottom of the pattern. "These must mean *something*." "I was a big fan of Simon and Garfunkle," he deadpanned. I pinched his arm and he laughed. "All right...Sharon Giesberg. She was my girlfriend in college. We dated for almost five years and were engaged for one." I waited for him to go on. When he didn't, I asked, "What happened?" He sighed. "Nothing. We just realized we weren't the same people we were in college and just...drifted apart. I don't really regret getting it though, but I might when I'm older and it morphs into something else entirely." I smiled and pressed a quick kiss on his temple before I pulled out of him and disposed of the used condom. I cut off his groan of protest with a chaste kiss to his lips. As reluctant as I was to leave the comfortable warmth of the bed, the need to empty my bladder was more pressing. But first I retrieved a washcloth and soaked it with warm water. I cleaned myself off quickly and rinsed it out before bringing it back to the bedroom. Vaughn hummed and rolled over a little to give me better access as I washed the semen from his abdomen. I nudged his legs apart and wiped carefully at the sticky fluids on his spent flesh and around his lax opening. When I was satisfied that he was clean, I placed a kiss on his deflated penis - feeling it twitch slightly but knowing it would still be out of commission for a while - drawing a grunt from deep in his chest. I tried to wipe the worst of the mess from the sheets, but there would still be a stain...and a wet spot. That done, I returned to the bathroom to answer the call of nature and left the washcloth draped over the rim of the tub. I turned off the light and walked back into the bedroom. I climbed into the bed beside Vaughn - my knees between his still-spread thighs - and bent to kiss and lick at his belly. Remember I said I had learned all the ways he likes to be touched? It turns out he especially likes to be touched *after* the fact. He loves basking in the afterglow of sex. And since I always have difficulties sleeping - even sex doesn't always knock me out - I am usually happy to indulge him. "I hope you left the toilet seat up," he grumbled. "'cause I'm not cleaning up the mess this time." I smiled against his skin and dipped my tongue into his navel. "I mean it, Mulder," he said warningly. I waved my hand dismissively, without pausing in my ministrations. He relented with a long-suffering sigh and began sifting his fingers through my hair, playing idly with several strands. He groaned as I ran my hands over his thighs, massaging the strong muscles that were surely aching from their recent activity until I felt them loosen. At the same time, I bathed his abdomen with broad strokes of my tongue, feeling those muscles ripple lazily beneath the taut skin. He started making low, rumbling noises of pleasure like a contented cat. He gasped, his fingers twitching in my hair, as I wandered lower and took his spent flesh into my mouth, suckling gently. He bore my ministrations for a while longer before he gave my hair a soft tug. "Too much," he gasped. I placed one last kiss on the tip before I crawled back up to lay beside him, trailing light fingers up his sides along the way. I kissed his lips briefly and he smiled up at me almost shyly. "How long can you stay," he asked awkwardly. As if he was afraid to admit that he was enjoying our time together. "All weekend if you want," I murmured as I began rubbing my thumbs in slow circles around his nipples. "I'm on leave." I hoped I could leave it at that. I really didn't want to go into the long version of that explanation. I just wanted to forget about all of it for the time being. I bent my head to lick at his right nipple, delicately twisting the left one between my fingers. He sighed in surrender and let me lavish attention on the small nubs until the rhythmic pull of my mouth began lulling him to sleep. I stretched out on my back beside him and gathered him in my arms. He mumbled sleepily and burrowed deeper into my side until he was almost lying on top of me, his arm thrown over my stomach and his head resting on my shoulder. I rubbed his back absently as I listened to his breathing even out and deepen in slumber, feeling each warm exhale on my throat. Somehow I managed to pull the sheet up over us without jostling him too much. I lay awake for a long time, thinking. About how we had gotten to the point we were at and where our relationship was going. Relationship? Could I even call it that? Can two men - formerly considered to be straight - form a relationship with each other based on a drunken one-night stand, or was it just meaningless sex? Was there even a remote possibility that we could some day realize that it was more than pure animal attraction? When we wouldn't have to arrange secret rendezvous and lie to the people we used to be able to confide in? A day when we could be honest with ourselves as well as everybody else? Maybe. Or maybe I was just fooling myself. I turned my head, inhaling the familiar scent - a combination of smells that I can't quite identify but that I've come to associate with Vaughn - and let the sound of his steady breathing lull me to sleep. ********** I was in the middle of possibly the best wet dream I had ever had. The mouth sucking me insistently was hot, wet and felt so *real*. The tongue lapping at my scrotum and slowly dragging up the underside of my penis was driving me insane and I thrust my hips, tying to get more of myself into that wonderful mouth. I was still marveling at how realistic the dream was when I tried to open my eyes and found them heavy with sleep. I reached down instinctively to take care of the inevitable morning erection and froze when I encountered short, soft hair. I looked down, blinking furiously to bring my vision into focus, and saw a dark head bobbing over my groin and long, slender hands anchoring my hips. I let my head fall back on the pillow and gasped, "Vaughn." He hummed an acknowledgment and I gasped as I felt the vibrations on my cock. I tried to thrust my hips up into his mouth but his firm grip prevented me from succeeding. He continued to tease me until I was fully awake and *very* aroused. I tugged at his hair and said, "Stop...now...here." Obviously I was beyond coherence... He completely ignored me. I sat up suddenly on the bed, dislodging him, and flipped him over onto his back, pinning him down bodily. "I said stop," I gasped into his smiling face. "Pushy, aren't you," he asked, his eyebrow arching slightly. Cocky little... I crushed his mouth with mine, biting and sucking at his lips aggressively. He made small, muffled sounds of pleasure and tried to roll me onto my back. I wrapped my hands around his wrists and pressed them to the mattress above his head. I took a moment to enjoy the surprised look on his face before I used my knees to spread his legs. "My turn," I breathed. He'd had his fun, now I was going to make *him* beg. I managed to find his opening without a hand to guide me. The muscles were still partially loose and dilated from the night before. Thanks to that, and a combination of his spit, my pre-ejaculate and the bit of lube that had remained inside him, I was able to slide right in more or less smoothly. We had never forgone the use of condoms before, even though we knew we were both clean since our jobs require us to get routine physicals. It was an extra precaution against possible urinary infections, but at that moment, thanks to my one- track, lust-stupid brain, I was willing to risk that. He gasped, looking up at me in shock and, possibly, a hint of pain. I started out slowly with long, steady thrusts, giving him time to adjust to the feeling of fullness again. He wrapped his legs around my waist as high as they would go, which, really, was not very high at all. Another thing I have learned about Vaughn: he's as flexible as a two-by-four. After a couple dozen strokes, he began writhing beneath me, silently begging me to go faster by moving his hips in his own rhythm. He made a high-pitched groaning sound in frustration and tried to twist his arms free. I tightened my grip further and plunged my tongue into his mouth possessively. He gasped into my mouth, stilling his movements complacently. Then, without warning, I accelerated my pace, slamming into him over and over. I kept my mouth pressed firmly to his to swallow his scream as he catapulted over the edge suddenly. I'd never seen him come that quickly before. Judging by the surprised look on his face when I pulled back, he hadn't expected it either. I kept thrusting into him with the same intensity. "God," he gasped, his hands clenching and relaxing spasmodically, his face flushed. "What are you doing to me?" I smiled at him, though in my aroused state it probably looked more like a grimace. I had learned from past experience that some men are just as capable of multiple orgasms as women. While I had never tried it with Vaughn before, it looked like he was one of those men, although he himself seemed unaware of the possibility. His still-hard length bounced against my stomach with every thrust. "It's okay," I encouraged. "Let it happen." I let go of his arms to steady his trembling thighs and keep his hips in position, but he didn't bring them down. Instead, he reached for the headboard, clutching it tightly as if he were trying to keep himself grounded. His head moved from side to side listlessly, his eyes open but unfocused. It only took a few more thrusts before his eyes rolled back into his head, his jaw falling slack. On the next in-stroke, his hips jerked in my grasp and he gave a long, low cry as his semen splashed over his stomach...again. This time I let his clenching muscles pull me over with him and he moaned as he felt my own hot semen fill him. I managed to support myself on my elbows above him long enough to pull out of him slowly, hearing him whimper softly at the loss. Then I collapsed on my side next to him as we both tried to regain our breath. I swirled two fingers through the wetness on his abdomen, spreading it up over his smooth stomach and muscular chest. He watched with heavy lids as I circled my fingers around one nipple before making a meandering path to the other and repeating the actions. Vaughn moaned breathily as I bent my head to trace the same patterns with my tongue, lapping up the moisture. I drew his nipples into my mouth one at a time, sucking and nibbling at them until he began writhing on the bed. "Oh god," he gasped. I chuckled softly. "You can call me Mulder." He groaned and let his head fall to one side. "You're gonna kill me one of these days," he groaned. "Are you complaining," I asked with a smile. He smiled back softly. "No...I guess not." I was re-concentrating my efforts on his navel when his stomach rumbled loudly. I chuckled and rolled off him, climbing off the bed. I reached out a hand to him. "C'mon," I offered. "I'll help you find something to eat." ********** We managed to make it through dinner without any trouble. And by "trouble" I mean "uncontrollable erections and a violent need for me to throw him on the table and fuck him until the tenants downstairs complained about the noise". Which was amazing, really, since neither of us had bothered to put any clothes on and were therefore sitting across from each other completely naked. We talked about work mostly. I talked about some of the most unusual cases I had been on and he talked about some ancient philosopher/inventor who I was surprised I had never heard of. It was nice. If not for the lack of clothing, it would have simply appeared to be a bonding experience between two close friends. "Can I ask you something," he asked tentatively as I helped him clean up. "Shoot." "Do you ever regret it? Going into that bar...meeting me...agreeing to come up to my room?" I didn't answer right away. I just watched him. He was standing at the sink, his back to me, his arms nearly elbow- deep in soapy water. I leaned against the counter next to him, arms folded. "As I recall, *you* were the one who agreed to let *me* come up to your room." "I did not," he protested. He tried to frown at me, but the laughter in his eyes spoiled the effect. "How do you know? You were so drunk you couldn't even remember your own name!" "I wasn't *that* drunk," he argued. "No, I distinctly remember taking the keys out of your hand and saying I would walk you up to yo..." "Mulder," he interrupted. "What?" "You're being an ass." I smirked. "Now you're starting to sound like Scully." He shook his head and chuckled. "Okay, so you threw yourself in my lap, told me you hadn't had sex since the first Bush administration and practically *begged* me to come up to your room. Does that sound better?" He laughed. "Well, you got part of it right." There was a long pause before he continued. "You didn't answer my question," he said softly. "Do you ever regret it?" I watched him for a moment longer before I stepped behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I pressed my rising erection against the small of his back. He moaned and the plate he had been holding slipped back into the dishwater with a soft splash. "Does that feel like regret to you," I asked huskily. He shook his head and then tilted it to the right, offering his neck to me. I kissed and licked the soft skin, slowly making my way to his earlobe and biting it gently. "What about you," I whispered in his ear. "Any regrets?" Instead of answering, he grabbed my wrist in his wet, soapy hand and guided me to his own pulsing erection. I growled and turned abruptly, heading for the door, gripping his arm firmly to pull him with me. The dishes would have to wait. ********* One hour later: "How did we get here," Vaughn asked softly from where he was half-sprawled across my chest. "As I recall, I dragged you in here and threw you on the bed..." He pinched me lightly. "You know that's not what I was asking," he accused, smiling slightly. "I mean how did we get to this point?" I ran my fingers through his hair absently. "I don't know," I finally answered honestly. He sighed deeply. "Every time I pick up the phone to call you, I tell myself that it will be the last time - that I don't need this, but...I don't know." "If all you need is sex, there's plenty of places you could go," I offered reluctantly. The truth was - as much as I hated to admit it - I wanted this as much as he did. "It's not the same," he mumbled. "I meant gay bars, not strip clubs," I teased. "Mulder," he said warningly. "Okay, okay..." I sighed. "I don't know what to say except that I've been trying to convince myself of the same thing, but I still find myself waiting for you to call. Worrying when you don't." "Great," he muttered sarcastically, his fingers absently playing with my chest hair. I groaned when he accidentally brushed against my left nipple and he looked up at me, surprised. He glanced quickly at my returning erection and then back at my face, his eyes lighting up mischievously. "Already?" I nodded stupidly and reached for a condom as he began sucking and nibbling at my chest. "You wanna be on top this time," I asked, already breathless. His head shot up and he blinked at me, wide eyed. "I've never..." I smiled. "That's not what I meant," I said as I unrolled the condom over myself. I sat up, leaning against the headboard, legs spread slightly and raised an eyebrow in invitation. His eyes darkened and his cock twitched visibly. He straddled me and braced his hands on my shoulders as I smeared more lubricant against his already-prepared opening. I positioned his hips and steadied him as he slowly descended on my lap. I halted his movement when he had only an inch left to take in. "Are you ready," I asked breathlessly. He nodded, his eyes closed, head thrown back in pleasure. I released my grip and his eyes shot open with a gasp as his own weight caused him to sink down fully, pushing me deeper inside him than ever before. "Jesus, Mulder," he moaned, squirming in my lap. I pulled my knees closer and rolled my hips in a tentative thrust. Vaughn grunted and tightened his grip on my shoulders. "Don't...move yet," he pleaded with a slight wince. "Okay," I whispered gently. "Whenever you're ready...go ahead." I kissed him to provide a distraction, probing every inch of his mouth with my tongue. After a couple of minutes he began to move slowly. I helped him hold most of his weight up so he wasn't putting quite so much strain on his knees. He sighed gratefully and threw his head back. My breath caught at the sight of him riding me so wantonly. He looked beautiful. I lapped at the sweat that had begun to form on his shoulders and neck, then nipped lightly at the smooth line of his stubble-roughened jaw. I had to fight the urge to roll him onto his back and take him hard and fast with every hum, groan, sigh and whimper of pleasure that spilled out of his mouth. "Faster," I hissed in his ear. He complied easily, riding me at a steady clip. After a minute or so, his rhythm began to falter. He shifted restlessly for a moment and then stopped moving entirely. "What's wrong," I asked. He shivered slightly and moaned. "I wanna come..." "Go ahead," I murmured, gently rubbing the small of his back. "You don't have to wait for me." He shook his head in frustration. "Help me," he whimpered. I groaned and managed to awkwardly flip us around so that his back was pressed into the wooden headboard and I was kneeling between his legs. "Hang on," I whispered gruffly in his ear before I gave one firm thrust. He gasped and wrapped his legs tightly around my waist, clutching at my back, partly in obedience, partly in pleasure. I thrust again, harder, and he cried out, his eyes rolling back in his head as he clawed desperately at my shoulders. It only took a few more thrusts before he shouted, his body stiffening in my arms, his hips bucking into mine as he climaxed violently. His clenching anal muscles proved to be more than I could take, pulling me over the edge right behind him. When I recovered my wits, I was slumped precariously against Vaughn's limp body. He groaned in displeasure - and perhaps discomfort - as I pulled out of him carefully and slowly lowered him back to the bed. I flopped down next to him and we lay still for a while longer as our panting breaths gradually evened out. Vaughn laboriously rolled over to face me and winced. "I'm probably going to regret that tomorrow," he gasped. I smiled and reached down to gently stroke around his opening with one finger. He hissed but made no move to stop me. "Oh, I think you'll be too...*occupied* to notice it much." I winked suggestively at him. He looked up at me with an amazed, hopeful look in his eyes. "You're really gonna stay all weekend." It wasn't so much a question as a realization. I smiled softly. "Yeah..." I dropped a quick kiss on his lips and smiled. "Get some rest. You're gonna need it." ********* The next morning, I woke to find myself alone in Vaughn's bed. I was about to call for him when I saw a note addressed to me in his familiar scrawl sitting on the dresser. In it, he told me that he had been called in to work. He apologized profusely and told me I could stay if I wanted. He also asked if I could feed Donovan. Did I mention he has a dog? Mostly quiet little thing, but that morning he was snoring loud enough to scare the cockroaches into hiding. He had gotten used to seeing me around a long time ago and mostly ignored me, but that changed quickly when he realized that his master was gone for the day and I would be his source of food and treats in the meantime. I spent most of the day watching television with Donovan curled up against my legs. I fed him and took him for walks when needed and helped myself to whatever was in the fridge. It turned out that there wasn't much in there, so I did a little grocery shopping too. When I came back to the apartment, I found Vaughn sprawled across the couch - still wearing his work clothes, minus the jacket and shoes - one arm thrown over the side lazily so he could scratch behind Donovan's ears. The dog wagged his tail happily when he saw me, but made no further effort to greet me. "You're still here," Vaughn observed. "You sound surprised," I teased as I headed into the kitchen to put the groceries away. "A little," he admitted as he followed and stood in the doorway, leaning casually against the doorframe. "You bought food?" "Your supply was depressingly limited," I joked as I pulled open the refrigerator door. "You didn't have to do that," he protested softly. I smiled. "It's all right. I was bored anyway." I walked over and pulled him into my arms. "So...what was the big international crisis? Or is that classified?" He groaned and tilted his head so I could kiss the side of his neck freely. "No...no crisis, but yes, it's classified." I smirked. "Then I guess I'll just have to *pump* you for information," I teased, pulling his hips tightly to mine for emphasis. He groaned loudly and I could tell he was forcing himself not to roll his eyes. "What makes you so sure I'd break?" I didn't answer right away. I just slammed his back against the nearest wall, pressing my body against his to keep him pinned there. "What makes you think I'd want you to?" He winced and squirmed in my grip. "What," I asked, confused. "My back," he hissed. I relaxed my grip on him. "Are you okay?" "Yeah," he grunted. "I just need to lay down." "Go ahead, I'll be right there," I said with a parting kiss. I resisted the urge to pinch his butt as he turned and headed for the bedroom. I watched him disappear from sight before I went back to putting the last of the groceries away. ********* When I got to the bedroom, I found him still dressed - albeit now minus his tie and belt - on the bed with Donovan perched on his chest. Vaughn was scratching behind his ears and the little bulldog was happily licking his chin in return. I rolled my eyes, trying not to smile, and walked over to the bed, scooping Donovan off Vaughn's chest and setting him on the floor with a pat on the head. He wagged his stubby little tail and trotted off. "On your stomach," I ordered gently as I knelt on the bed. "Should I take the rest of my clothes off first?" "No need," I said with a mysterious wink. He shot me a confused look, but rolled over obediently. I straddled his hips and set to work at massaging the tension out of his back. He moaned and instantly relaxed under my hands. By the time I had worked my way from his shoulders down to his lower back, his moans had turned deeper, huskier. What had started out as fairly innocent had turned quickly into foreplay. Not that I hadn't expected it to, of course. It was time to up the ante a little. I managed to strip him down to his boxers and get him face- down again. I continued the massage, this time starting at his calves and slowly working my way up. By the time I had slipped my hands just barely under the edge of the material, his hips were twitching rhythmically. "God...Mulder," he panted. It was at that moment that Donovan barked once, insistently, from the living room. We both groaned in frustration. "When was the last time you walked him," Vaughn asked, his voice strained with arousal. "Apparently too long ago," I grumbled. I stood up reluctantly. "I'll get him. You stay here." "Yeah, don't worry," he groused. "I'm not going to be walking anywhere anytime soon." He proved his point by rolling over to reveal the very prominent bulge in his boxers. I smirked and traced one finger over it lightly. He groaned, his hips pressing toward me involuntarily in search of more contact. "Think you can hold off for a little longer?" "I'm not making any promises," he grunted. "I could always cuff you to the bed..." I grinned as he flushed at the suggestion. Donovan barked again impatiently. "Yeah, yeah," I muttered, giving Vaughn's covered length one last parting squeeze before I left the room. When I returned, I could hear his groans drifting down the hallway from the bedroom. I crept quietly up to the door. He still lay on his back in the middle of the bed, but the boxers were missing. I watched as he brushed his fingers up and down his cock in the barest of touches. He was teasing himself - reluctant to let himself get too carried away without me. He froze as he sensed my presence and slowly removed his hand, his face flaming red with embarrassment, like a child who'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "No," I protested softly, moving to sit on the end of the bed. "Don't stop." His eyes darkened and his breathing grew heavier as he realized what I wanted him to do. He brought his hand back to his throbbing length and gave it a tentative stroke. His eyes stayed locked on my face, as if searching for my approval. I nodded encouragingly. /Don't hold back now,/ I urged silently. He wrapped his hand firmly around the base of his cock and gave it one slow, deliberate stroke. After a couple strokes, he grew braver. He raised his knees so his feet were flat on the bed and spread his thighs open - exposing himself completely to my view. He continued to stroke his cock with his left hand and used his right to squeeze and massage his sac. I bit back a groan as his eyes slipped shut and his head fell back with a low hum. My fingers itched to touch my own throbbing cock - or at least loosen my pants to give myself some measure of relief. I resisted only because I knew doing so would distract him from the task at hand...so to speak. "Oh, god," he gasped several minutes - or maybe it was only moments - later. "I'm almost..." He trailed off with an impassioned moan. "Go ahead," I murmured. He shook his head and stopped squeezing his sac to reach his fingers further back and circle his anus. I was unable to corral the moan that exploded from my mouth. He looked at me triumphantly. I shook my head. I wasn't going to give in yet. He sighed and stopped stroking his cock so he could reach for the lubricant on the nearby table. He spread a generous amount around his opening and slowly pushed one slippery finger inside. My breathing grew ragged as I watched his tight muscles squeeze his finger mercilessly. He moaned and began a slow, steady thrusting motion. He hissed and squirmed in pleasure as he added a second and third finger. "Mulder," he gasped, his eyes closed. "God...feels so good..." I clenched my hands tightly. He was obviously determined to break me. Spur me into action so I would fuck his brains out. Not this time. He groaned loudly. "Please...Mulder...'m gonna...come." I shifted slightly in an effort to reduce the pressure of my erect cock rubbing against my jeans. He looked at me expectantly. When I made no further movements, he let out a frustrated groan and redoubled his efforts, resigned to reaching orgasm without me. I waited until his back arched off the bed, his hand movements becoming uncoordinated, his mouth open in a silent scream. At that moment, I leaned forward and took the swollen head of his cock in my mouth, sucking lightly. He shouted in surprise and thrashed wildly as he exploded into my mouth. I swallowed quickly and climbed off the bed long enough to undress. Then I knelt back between his legs and hovered over his still-quivering body. He looked up at me dazedly, his eyes glassy and unfocused. I reached for a condom and got it on in record time. I tilted his hips and pushed inside him with no further warning. He moaned between panting breaths, still not fully recovered, and slowly wrapped his legs around me. "Fuck," he gasped. "Feels good..." I grunted an agreement and began moving. I kissed him, enjoying his little growl as he tasted himself on my tongue. I abandoned his lips to focus my attentions on his neck. He moaned and clutched at my back. I shifted until I found his prostate and brushed against it firmly. He grunted and shook his head. "Don't." "Don't what," I asked playfully. I thrust against that same spot again and he flinched. I froze as I realized that I might be hurting him. "I'm not gonna come again," he said, still trying to catch his breath. "Not this time." I hesitated. "Do you want me to stop?" "No," he breathed. "Feels good. Just...try to aim a little lower." I quickly readjusted my position and gave one tentative thrust. "Better?" He nodded, smiling, and wrapped his arms around my back. "Go for it, Spooky," he whispered in my ear. I groaned. I knew I should never have told him about that. "All right, Boyscout," I grumbled back. His soft chuckle turned into a sigh as I resumed my steady thrusts. Now it was his turn to kiss, lick and nibble at my neck and shoulders. His turn to whisper husky encouragements in my ear. He moaned and sighed and generally acted like he was starring in a gay porn flick because he knew it would turn me on. Which was fine by me. Minutes later I came and collapsed, spent, on top of him. As I returned to the land of the living I felt his hands stroking my back and running through my hair. Wonders never cease, I guess. I tried to roll off of him, but he tightened his grip on me and whispered "stay." I grumbled, but made no further attempts to move. We stayed that way for a long time as my cock grew soft. We both jumped as Donovan barked once, loudly, this time from a much closer proximity. I looked down to see him sitting beside the bed, his head cocked expectantly. "Pull the sheets up," Vaughn directed. I shot him a questioning look but obeyed. He groaned as I pulled out of him in the process. Then he patted the mattress and called "C'mere buddy!" Donovan leapt up on the bed, tail wagging happily, and nuzzled Vaughn's hand until Vaughn started petting him. "He's got you well trained," I said dryly. He laughed. "Then I guess you two have a lot in common," he fired back, a wicked gleam in his eyes. ******** Sunday Morning I woke to find that Donovan had wedged his way between my legs, forcing my body to twist into the most uncomfortable position I had ever slept in. He was snoring again - loudly - and this time he was accompanied by Vaughn's heavy breathing and occasional sigh. I tried awkwardly to shift into a more comfortable position. Donovan woke abruptly, yawned, and re-settled himself at the foot of the bed, curling up and immediately resuming his snoring. I smiled and tried to go back to sleep myself. "Mmm...Mulder?" Vaughn's voice was small, slurred with sleep. "Sorry," I whispered. "I didn't mean to wake you." "Mulder," he repeated. "Ungh..." I frowned. "What?" He rolled onto his back lazily and moaned softly, his eyes still closed. "Yes," he hissed. A smile crept its way onto my face as I realized that he was still asleep...and in the middle of an erotic dream. I moved closer until I was hovering over him. I recalled the way he had woken me up earlier in the weekend. It was my turn to work my way into *his* dream. "You feel so good," I whispered huskily in his ear. He moaned, his whole body twitching. "I'm going to fuck you soon...would you like that?" A small cry escaped his throat. I decided to take that as a yes. I fumbled to get a condom on as quietly as possible and coated myself with lube. He continued to moan and writhe, already well ahead of me. I positioned myself between his legs and trailed whisper-soft kisses down his neck while I lifted his hips and pushed inside him languidly. I started a slow, steady rhythm and dragged my lips back to his ear. "Vaughn," I whispered, letting my breath tickle the delicate shell. He shivered and moaned, half awake but still wrapped up in his dream. "Michael? Wake up." I started thrusting faster, harder, tightening my grip on his thighs. He gasped, jolting to full consciousness and struggled to open his eyes. "It's okay," I reassured him. "Just relax." He moaned, arching his back lazily, and tried to get a firm grip on my shoulders. I pressed myself as close to his body as possible and held him tightly. "That's it, Vaughn," I murmured in his ear, drawing another ragged groan from him. "Come." I adjusted my angle slightly and slammed into him. He yelped, his jaw falling slack as he was pushed over the edge into mindless oblivion. I grunted and released myself inside him as his muscles milked me ruthlessly. "Well...that's a helluva way to wake up," Vaughn panted as we both lay recovering. I smiled and ground my hips into his with one last "aftershock". He moaned and twitched. I heard the soft tinkling of metal tags and turned my head in time to see Donovan plop himself down next to us and start licking Vaughn's hand. Vaughn stiffened. "Has he been here the whole time?" I held back a chuckle at the embarrassed tone in his voice. "I'm sure he doesn't mind," I teased. Vaughn groaned and I laughed as he turned red. "I just don't like being watched," he groused as he scratched behind the dog's ears. "Well, you might want to send him out of the room then," I said with a playful smile as I pulled out of him and began licking random patterns over his chest and down his stomach. "Mulder," he groaned. He stopped petting Donovan so he could clutch at my shoulders. I hummed and meandered my way down to his half-hard length. I sucked the head into my mouth and he yelped, arching his back and clawing at the sheets. Donovan leapt off the bed, excited by the sudden movement, and barked once, eagerly. "Just ignore him," Vaughn pleaded breathlessly, squirming beneath me. 'If you insist,' I thought with a shrug. I sucked and licked him to full erection before engulfing his whole length in my mouth. He moaned and started a rhythm of very restrained thrusts. The noises he was making were having a very pronounced effect on my own recovering erection. I hummed in pleasure and Vaughn gasped at the vibration the sound created against his hyper- sensitive flesh. Donovan barked again, seemingly annoyed that we weren't paying attention to him. "Not now Donovan," Vaughn snapped impatiently. I paused in my ministrations and looked up at him in surprise. I had never heard him talk like that before - so no-nonsense and commanding. My cock throbbed in response to it as a new idea began to form in my mind. Vaughn squirmed in frustration. "Keep going, damnit," he hissed at me, still in command mode. Ah, yes, it seemed that 'Little Mulder' was enjoying this new side of Vaughn very much. "I've got a better idea," I said. "How would you like to do the driving this time?" He looked down at me, startled, his expression turning apprehensive. "Y...you want me...to..." "Fuck my ass? Yeah, that's the general idea," I cracked. His eyes widened. "Come on, it's not like you don't know what to do. You have plenty of first-hand experience now." He blushed. I rolled us over and pressed the tube of lubricant into his hand. I opened my legs for him and nodded encouragingly. He hesitated a bit longer before he opened the lube and squirted some onto his fingers. Then he just sat, unsure, until I guided his hand to where it needed to be. He tentatively pushed one finger inside me and I hissed. It had been *way* too long. "Is this okay," he asked warily. I nodded and squeezed my muscles around his finger, wrenching a gasp from him. He began to move slowly in and out...in...and out until he thought I was ready for more. I grunted as he pushed a second finger in. I had almost forgotten about the burning... I wasn't about to stop him though. It was obvious he had never done this to another man before. While he knew what felt good to him, he didn't seem to know how to apply that knowledge to me. He twisted his hand around, his fingers searching blindly. His naiveté was more of a turn on than anything else. "Higher," I whispered. I gasped as he hit the right angle and my mind went blank. He pushed a third finger in more confidently and I squirmed, all coherence abandoning me. I had forgotten how good it felt. I reached my hand down to cover his, guiding him, showing him how hard and how fast he should touch me. Then I wrapped my hand firmly around his length. He groaned and shifted slightly to give me better access. I stroked him at the same rate as his finger-fucking for a few moments. Then I stopped and used my free hand to halt his movements as well. "I'm ready," I gasped. Actually, I wasn't sure if I really was or not, I just didn't think I could take any more foreplay without coming before we could get to the main event. He got a condom on quickly and balanced himself over me, positioning his hips between my legs. I grabbed my knees and pulled them towards my chest as he aligned himself with my opening. "Take it slow," I whispered. He nodded and began pushing forward. I hissed as the head of his cock popped through. "Stop." He froze, his eyes wide in panic. "Are you okay?" "Yeah," I grumbled. "Just give me a second." I had known just how well endowed he was before, but seeing it and feeling it stretching the muscles that hadn't seen this much action in *years* were two very different things. I took deep breaths until the burning started to ease. I smiled up at him in reassurance and reached behind his neck to drag his lips closer. "You're tense," I murmured as I felt the muscles bunched up under my hand. "Relax. It's okay." He loosened up gradually under my coaxing and returned the kiss. I lifted my hips, allowing him to slip deeper. He pulled back with a gasp and I moaned as the pleasure began to eclipse the pain. "It's okay," I repeated. "Go ahead." He braced himself and pushed forward steadily until he was buried to the hilt, dragging a ragged groan from me. It had been far too long and he was stretching me so wide...probing so deep. "Jesus," he breathed. "So tight..." "It's been a while," I whispered. "Can you wrap your legs around me," he asked tentatively. "You sure?" "Yeah." I smiled and wrapped my legs around his hips, groaning as the movement shifted his position inside me. I tightened my legs around him as I licked and nibbled at his neck. He groaned and began rocking slowly against me. "You're up," I whispered in his ear before I loosened my grip and waited for him to move. Sometimes it was easy for me to forget that he was not fragile - that he could hold his own just fine. Maybe it had something to do with our age difference or his inexperience, or maybe it was just because I had never seen him in action doing what he does for a living. I felt like I had to protect him. But after a couple tentative thrusts he seemed to ease into his new role as seducer. He adjusted his position as his thrusts grew more confident. I kept my hands on his back so I could feel the muscles sliding beneath the smooth skin. I slid them down to his ass, feeling the way those muscles worked to push him inside me over and over...only to gasp, my eyes widening in shock, as he grabbed my arms and anchored them beside my head with an iron grip around my wrists. He smirked down at me and continued his steady pace. I tried to pull my arms away, but he only tightened his grip. He nipped at my neck and thrust harder. I moaned and met his thrusts easily. "How's that," he asked. His voice was harder, gruffer, but I could still detect some apprehension in his tone. "Higher," I groaned. He tilted his hips and thrust back in at the perfect angle. I cried out and arched my back, tugging at his restraining hands. I was able to pull my hands free, but met resistance when I tried to roll him onto his back. It didn't matter anyway because I was already too far gone. I stiffened and shouted as the spasms took over, draining me of energy...as well as a few certain bodily fluids. Vaughn moaned loudly as the muscles encompassing him clenched tighter, but he didn't come with me. When I had recovered significantly, I looked up to see his eyes closed, his face red with exertion, biting his lip in concentration. "Vaughn," I called softly. He grunted, but didn't seem to really acknowledge me. I rolled until he was on his back and straddled him without breaking our connection. He blinked up at me in surprise. "Relax," I murmured, flicking his nipples with my thumbs. He groaned and lay passively while I tried everything I could think of to make him come. I massaged anything I could reach from my position - his chest, arms, abdomen, thighs, sac...nothing seemed to be working but the continued pressure of his cock on my prostate was making me hard again. I finally climbed off him in exasperation. He grunted and began shifting uncomfortably. I reached down to remove the condom and he hissed, bucking his hips toward me. He was overstimulated. He just needed something else to focus on to calm him. "You want to finish this," I asked softly. He looked up at me with pleading eyes - panting, hair plastered to his forehead - and nodded. I lay on my back beside him and whispered, "Come here." He straddled my hips and started positioning himself over me, but I shook my head. "Other way," I said simply. He stared at me blankly for a moment before his eyes darkened in realization. He quickly repositioned himself so that his knees framed my shoulders and his cock, thick and almost purple with arousal, hung over my face. I watched, fascinated, as a drop of pre-ejaculate gathered on the tip, glistening in the soft bedroom light. He held himself rigid, waiting for me to make the first move. I waited until the droplet was seconds away from falling before lifting my head and licking it away with the smallest flick of my tongue. He gasped. "Please," he breathed. "Mulder..." "You first," I murmured, smiling even though he probably couldn't see it. He groaned in frustration but wrapped his hand loosely around my cock and abruptly took the head in his mouth. I moaned and pressed my head deeper into the pillow, trying to keep myself from thrusting up into him. He hummed and set about bringing me to the same maddening state of arousal that he was stuck in, attacking my cock with a barely restrained fury. I hissed and reached down to grab his head, stilling him momentarily. "Careful," I admonished. "That's a delicate piece of equipment." He gave a muffled snort, but he gentled his attack when I let go. I moaned as he sucked and licked insistently; squirmed as he carefully nibbled up and down the sides and nearly lost all coherence as he traced his tongue around the slit at the tip and drew feather-light strokes up and down the especially sensitive vein in the underside. He was so focused on what he was doing to me that his own neglected state was all but forgotten. I reached for a pillow and propped my head up, but I still had to crane my neck slightly to reach him. He gasped, his own attentions faltering as I took the pulsating head of his cock in my mouth and sucked gently. I pulled back after a few moments and switched to broad licks along the entire length. "Don't stop," I murmured between licks. I coaxed him to spread his knees wider, bringing his hips closer to me, and I spread my own legs further to give him better access. It turned into a sort of competition - each of us trying to force the other to come first. While I massaged his inner thighs he cupped and squeezed my testicles. When he thrust his finger into my ass I reached down to pinch, flick and twist his nipples. When I deep throated him he moaned and the vibrations against my cock nearly sent me over the edge. I began humming, giving as good as I got. My cock fell out of his mouth as he became unable to concentrate on what he was doing to me. He moaned and whimpered, his hips gyrating in small circles, his fingers digging into my thighs. I sucked hard as I pulled back, letting him slip out of my mouth with a soft 'pop'. I gave broad licks along his length, my hands coming up to roll his heavy sac in my palms. I traced one finger around his tender anus, swirling through the moisture that remained from earlier. "Let go," I whispered between licks. Then I took him deep in my mouth and plunged two fingers inside him. He gasped and stilled his hips. "Please," he breathed. I twisted my wrist around until I located his prostate and rubbed it firmly. He yelped and clawed at my thighs frantically. Then I swallowed him and he cried out, stiffening as hot semen flooded my mouth. I swallowed it and continued to hold him in my mouth as the spasms eased. All the strength went out of his body with his last shudder and he barely managed to roll the lower half of his body away from me so I didn't suffocate. He lay sprawled on his back with his head resting on my stomach, his chest heaving. I stroked my hands through his hair, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. He looked up at me with an expression that was part gratitude, part relief, part exhaustion and part something else that I couldn't quite identify. "Thank you," he whispered. There were several ways I could have interpreted that. And several more reasons why I chose to interpret it as "thank you for letting me come." I smiled and waited for him to recover with as much patience as I could manage. When he realized I wasn't finished he smirked and turned his head lazily to nuzzle against my cock with soft lips, his heavy breaths wafting over the sensitive skin. I hissed and tried not to buck my hips. He rolled over wearily, supporting himself on his elbows above my straining length and I moaned as I was engulfed in his mouth. For someone who'd had no previous sexual experience with men, he was amazingly good at giving blowjobs. His tongue danced in feverish patterns as his head bobbed up and down steadily. He rolled my sac firmly between his fingers, coaxing it to release it's load. I watched him for a while - the passionate expression on his face, the way his cheeks hollowed out with each stroke - until I could no longer remain passive. I rubbed the back of his neck encouragingly and gasped as his free hand shot up and pulled my hand away with a firm grip, never breaking his rhythm. I hissed as I felt his teeth scrape very delicately against the sensitive flesh and bucked my hips, hands scrabbling for purchase when he hummed softly. It wasn't long before his persistent attentions pushed me over the edge. He swallowed my release almost eagerly and continued to suckle me gently, gradually bringing me back down to earth. "C'mere," I coaxed when I'd gotten my breath back. He crawled slowly, tiredly, up the mattress and practically collapsed at my side. I drew him into my arms and tilted my head to capture his lips. He sighed contentedly and opened his mouth, allowing me full access to its depths. I could taste myself on his tongue as I'm sure he could taste himself on mine. After several long, languid kisses, exhaustion took over. Vaughn hummed deep in his chest and snuggled against me, his head resting on my shoulder, his left leg tucked between both of mine, arm slung across my waist. I pressed a soft kiss to his forehead and held him close. "Thank you," I whispered. ******** Vaughn yelped as I plunged deep inside him, his short, blunt nails digging into my shoulders. I held still, shifting my grip to better support him against the slick wall of the shower. When I woke up, I had de-tangled myself from him and gone into the bathroom with the intention of taking a shower before I had to leave for D.C. I was standing beneath the spray, allowing the hot water to relax my overworked muscles, when I heard the glass door slide open behind me. No words were necessary. He simply pressed a condom into my hand and knelt on the shower floor in front of me, keeping eye contact as he took me deep in his mouth. A minute later I had pressed his back to the wall, my elbows hooked under his knees to help lift and spread his thighs. His hands coated my length with an impromptu lubricant of soap and guided me to his already prepared entrance. At his grimace and sharp cry, I froze and uttered the first words either of us had spoken since entering the shower. “Are you okay?” He nodded quickly, his fingers still clutching my shoulders in a bruising grip. “It burns,” he admitted. I winced. “We’ll go slow.” He nodded gratefully and braced himself on a ledge with his hands so I wouldn’t have to support his entire weight. He moaned in pleasure as I pulled almost all the way out and slowly pushed back in. His eyes fell shut and his breathing deepened. I leaned closer and applied my lips to the soft, sensitive skin of his neck, sucking gently. He twitched and moaned loudly as the movement trapped his throbbing length between our bodies. He groaned in frustration after a few minutes of leisurely thrusting. “Fuck it,” he hissed. “Just go faster.” I complied easily, tilting his hips toward me and slipping deeper inside, pressing insistently against the gland that had grown swollen and sensitive with repeated stimulation. He moaned brokenly, his head thumping back against the shower wall in pleasure. I leaned closer and kissed him languidly. He returned the kiss sloppily, too distracted by the feel of my cock stretching and filling him so completely to pay attention to much else. I abandoned his lips to nibble at the strong line of his jaw. He made an indistinct throaty noise and began rolling his hips what little distance his position could afford to meet my thrusts. “Let go, Michael,” I whispered in his ear. I felt his deep moan against my lips as I pressed soft, open mouthed kisses to his throat. My name escaped his lips on a breathless whisper. “That’s it,” I encouraged as I felt his thighs begin to tremble. I leaned back to look at him and my breath caught. His skin was flushed, revealing small patches of bruising and angry red streaks where my stubble had abraded sensitive flesh. His lips were dark and kiss-swollen. His eyes were glassy and unfocused. His hips moved almost of their own volition in a single-minded determination. He was completely and utterly debauched. I shifted my hold on him, changing the angle of my thrusts, and held on tight as he came, bucking and twisting against me and shouting his ecstasy in my ear. I followed soon after him. We stood immobile for several minutes while the cooling water washed away the evidence of our coupling. “I should go,” I said when I regained the ability to speak. Regret was perhaps more evident in my voice than I would have liked. Vaughn mumbled something unintelligible under his breath. “I’ll let you finish your shower,” I added as I started de-tangling myself from him. He grabbed me by the chin suddenly and brought my lips to his in a passionate kiss. By the time he broke it, it took all of my will power to not drag him back to the bed and stay there for at least another day – work be damned. “I’ll call you,” he murmured, his voice slightly raw from an entire weekend of noisy sex. I nodded and reluctantly stepped out of the shower. And that was it. No mushy sentiments or heart-felt goodbyes. Just a mutual agreement to meet again soon. As usual. Before I left, I retrieved the “present” I had bought for Vaughn and placed it on the dresser along with a note for him to find when he got out of the shower. The present was a vibrator. The note read “something to remember me by.” Needless to say, I had my reasons for waiting to give it to him until I was sure I wouldn’t be around when he found it. Donovan’s head perked up from his position on the floor and he wagged his tail when he saw me enter the living room. I bent to ruffle his fur. “See you next time, buddy,” I said softly. I looked around the apartment one last time as I let myself out. “See you next time,” I whispered again to myself. Then I closed the door and began my long trip home – back to my apartment and the X-Files. THE END
