The Art Of Loving

by Turtle

Note: This is the sequel to my birthday fic The Art Of Kissing. Valentine kindly agreed to let me do one provided JD didn't get Ezra, well actually Buck didn't want JD to get Ezra and he whispered in Valentine's ear! This is dedicated to all the Mag7 list sibs, especially Valentine and Rick.

JD slowly wandered down from Ezra's room with the thought that maybe he should look up Casey. He left the Saloon and heard his name yelled, "JD!" The young sheriff looked up to see Casey running toward him. "JD, isn't it so exciting? I mean I'll miss you and all my friends here, but I'll learn so much and see so many places. I'll write you, I will you know, I only wish I had more time to say good- bye to everyone."

"Casey take a deep breath and then tell me what the heck yer babblin' about?"

The young girl took a deep breath before answering him. "My Aunt Helen, she's from San Francisco so you've never met her, anyhow she's invited me to come with her. She'll make sure I still get my schoolin' and I s'pose I'll hav' ta wear dresses, but still..."

"Casey you ain't makin' no sense. Go where!"

"Oh JD, I'm gonna be leavin' on the stage, we just got her telegram and I gotta leave today if'n I want ta make it to San Francisco so's we can catch the boat." The young girl looked at JD's confused look, "She's invited me to go to Europe with her. We're gonna sail from San Francisco and we're gonna go to England and France, I'm gonna get to see Paris, bet Ezra will be envyin' me. But I have to leave now. Will you tell everyone that I'll miss them, and I'll write." Casey turned to go and then turned back, "Don't forget me, but it wouldn't be fair of me ta ask ya ta wait, so's if'n ya meet someone special... well I understand." She pressed her lips to his briefly before she ran off toward the stage. JD just stood and watched her climb aboard and then the stage left town.

"This sure ain't been my day," the young man said. He turned into the Saloon and saw Chris Larabee sitting by himself with a bottle of whiskey in front of him. JD stopped at the bar and asked for a glass and then wandered over towards Chris. "Mind if I have a drink, I brung my own glass." He lifted his empty glass to the gunslinger.

"It ain't milk, but if you think you're man enough, have at it." JD pulled out a chair and flipped it around so that the back was now facing the table, he then straddled the chair and sat his glass down in front of him. Chris picked up the bottle and poured them each a drink, he picked up his glass and waited until JD had done the same, then he lifted his glass in a salute and emptied the glass. JD waited only a split second before doing the same. The rotgut took his breath away and he waited a moment until air started returning to his lungs. "Had enough JD?" JD shook his head and pushed his glass over towards Chris who filled them both up again. After a couple of shots he looked at JD. "Son, you ain't no drinker, what the hell is botherin' you?"

"Hell Chris, I ain't had a good day. I learned a thing or two about myself earlier and now Casey left town fer god-knows-how-long. Says she's taking a ship ta Europe with her aunt, told me more-or-less that it was over." He pushed his glass back over to Chris who shook his head but filled the glass. After a few more drinks JD carefully said, "I decided that I needed ta learn ta kiss, so I went ta Ezra. Figured he'd teach me how ta do it properly, how ta impress Casey. Problem was I enjoyed kissin' Ezra more than I ever enjoyed kissin' Casey. It's real different kissin' a man, I liked it way too much." He pushed his glass back to Chris who filled it up, a few more drinks and JD's chin was resting on the back of the chair. "I deshid... decided that I learnt kissin' from Eshra so I should learnt drinkin' from you. You know have everybody teach me what they do best. Vin could teash... teach me trackin, Buck could teach me about women cuz I don't unerstan them. They's a myshtery ta me. Anyhow, pour me a nuther one cuz I'm gonna learnt how ta get drunk from you. Nobody does it better so teach me all 'bout it, okay?"

"No son, that ain't okay. I'd say you've had more than enough and I'm gonna put you to bed and let you sleep it off." The gunslinger stood up and went to the bar and spoke to Inez, by the time he got back JD had the remainder of the bottle in his hand and was drinking straight from it. "Hell JD, gimme that bottle. You've had enough, Inez says she's got an empty room you can use, so come on kid." He took the bottle away from the younger man and pulled him to his feet, wrapping his arm around his waist and semi-carrying him to the stairs. "Come on JD, pick up your feet, time for bed son."

"I ain't yer son."

"Come on JD, up the stairs." The gunslinger coaxed the young sheriff into climbing the stairs until they'd reached a back room. He unlocked the door and pulled JD in and sat him on the bed.

"Hey Chris, wanta see what I learnt from Eshra." JD crooked his finger at Chris in a come-here gesture. Chris leaned down and suddenly JD wrapped his arms around him and fell back onto the bed, taking Chris with him. Before the older man could object he found himself being kissed as if there were going to be no tomorrow. JD's hands were everywhere, under his duster, pulling his shirt up and crawling under that. Then they were running up and down his bare skin and JD's tongue was invading his mouth. It was getting harder and harder to remember just why he shouldn't do this. JD rolled them over so he was on top of Chris and those clever hands were unbuttoning his shirt. Oh god, he thought those sweet young lips had felt so good on his mouth, the things they were doing to his neck and chest had to be illegal; most good things were. Then they were tasting his nipples, licking and nibbling and sucking. "JD, you're drunk. We need to stop this." My god was that shaky, timid sound his voice. He cleared his throat and tried again, doing his best to sound like he was in charge. "JD, we need to... oh god, yes, just like that, so good." Goddamnit, was he a man or a mouse. "JD, stop that now."

JD raised his head and looked at him, eyes shiny, lips red and well- kissed looking. "No," was all the young man said before returning to what he was doing. Chris realized that his hands were entwined in JD's hair, how soft it was, how nice it felt in his hands and suddenly he felt a hand on his gunbelt. "We need ta get rid a some things here Chris," and he felt his belt and gun slide off. JD looked up at him and Chris could see the passion in his eyes, the normally hazel eyes looked almost black and both of the men were breathing hard. "I'm gonna do this one way or another Chris, so you can either help me and teach me, then we'll both enjoy it or I'll fumble my way through and maybe we'll enjoy it."

"JD, you're just a kid and you're drunk. I'd be taking advantage of you."

JD started laughing, "From where I'm sitting," and he sat up on Chris's chest, straddling his body, "I'm the one taking advantage of you." He leaned down and kissed Chris again. "I ain't no kid, but maybe I'm a little drunk. That don't mean I don't want this, it just means I might not a tried it sober. You ever done this, had sex with a man?"

"Yeah, on the trail, but it was someone special, someone I cared about so I guess it was making love. Same way it's gonna be with you, making love, not just sex. But yeah, I do know how ta do it." He raise his head up even as he was pulling JD's head down to meet his, and gave the young man a soul-searing kiss. He could feel JD trembling even as he tried to get closer. "Last chance JD. You can move and I can still walk out of here without doing this, cuz this will change things between us." The only response was JD shaking his head no and leaning back into the kiss.

Chris wrapped his arms around JD and sat up, never breaking the kiss. "JD, clothes." Those clever hands pulled the duster from his shoulders and pulled it off his arms, taking the unfastened shirt with it. As he was doing that Chris was peeling off JD's coat and vest, he reached for the shirt when JD fastened his lips to Chris's nipple, Chris moaned before taking JD's head in both of his hands. "Clothes JD!" He unbuttoned the younger mans shirt and slid him off of his lap, unfastening JD's gunbelt and rising from the bed to hang the belts on the bedposts. He walked over to the lamp and removed the top, leaving it sitting on the dresser. He sat the bottom end next to the bed and ignored the puzzled look from JD.

He pulled off his boots and then removed JD's before unfastening the young man's pants and undergarments and pulling them off. JD was sitting in front of him in his glory, damn the kid was beautiful nude. He looked up into JD's eyes and saw a trace of fear, he figured that the kid was a virgin all the way around so he needed to be gentle. "It's okay JD, I ain't gonna hurt you." Chris reached out and started running his hands along the inside of JD's thighs, up and down slowly. The young man slid his legs further apart, leaned back on his hands and tilted his head back. Chris slowly eased his way closer to JD's groin, finally touching the ball sac. He spread JD's legs even further apart and leaned forward until his nose was buried in the fur at the base of JD's cock, there was just something about the smell of a man, right there, that made him crazy. It made him want to see if JD tasted as good as he smelled, so he licked up the bottom from the base all the way to the slit on the end, he dipped his tongue in and cleaned the precum out of the slit, of course as fast as he did it was just replaced with more. JD was moaning and shaking, his fingers had a hold of the bedding in a tight grip. He lifted his head to watch Chris slide his mouth over his cock, then let his head fall back as if it were too heavy to hold up.

Chris reached forward and pried loose the fingers and eased JD down to his back. He took JD's legs and bent them so his feet were on the bed with his knees bent and legs spread wide. He pulled JD's hands down and placed them on his own inner thighs and had him help hold his legs apart, all the while that he had JD's cock in his mouth, sucking gently. When he had JD positioned the way he wanted him he slid his mouth up from his cock and leaned down and mouthed the ball sac, he could feel JD shaking like a leaf, poor kid, he hadn't even started and JD was ready to finish.

Chris quickly stood and removed his own pants and underclothes before reaching over to the lamp and pouring a small amount of lamp oil on his fingers. He returned to the young sheriff and slid one finger around the small hole. Chris once again took JD's cock into his mouth just as he slid his finger into the younger man's ass. "Oh god, what... what... oh, oh." JD wasn't exactly making a lot of sense, but then he wasn't expecting him to either. Chris moved and wiggled his finger before pulling it out and sending two back in. He wrapped his free hand around the base of JD's cock and pulled his lip back so they were just covering and tormenting the crown.

JD grabbed his thighs and tried to spread them even wider with no success. Chris continued stretching ass muscles with his fingers, scissoring them and wiggling them. He once again pulled them out and reentered with three. He could feel JD's movements slow for a few minutes but soon he was wiggling again. Chris stretched his fingers and reached deep inside until he found what he was looking for. He stroked the hot spot and watched as JD's whole body came off the bed. "Shit! Again, do that again." He rubbed it a few more times before he pulled his fingers back out. He slid his mouth off the boys cock and heard JD whimper, reaching for the lamp he poured some oil on his hands and covered his own tender organ.

He pulled JD's hands loose from their holding place and lifted the boys legs up until they were resting on his shoulders. He grabbed hold of the boy's hips and placed his cock at the entrance to JD's ass, slowly he eased the head in past the first muscle. He paused and waited until JD had started twitching again and eased in a little further. He kept this up until he was finally all the way in and his balls were resting next to the boys ass. Then he pulled almost all the way out and slid back in. The next stroke he angled his entrance so that his cock hit the little nub inside and JD went wild. His hands reached out to grab Chris's ass and try to force him in deeper, JD was long past the point of words, his moans and whimpers were telling Chris all he needed to know.

Chris reached up and pulled JD's legs off his shoulders and wrapped them around his waist, then he leaned forward and grabbed the younger man's hands and pulled him forward and up until he was impaled on Chris's cock. The action had sunk Chris's cock even deeper into the young man, JD wrapped his arms around Chris's chest and slid his face forward until it was buried in Chris's neck. Chris slowly walked over to the chair in the corner, feeling JD shudder as every step caused Chris's cock to rub his prostate. Chris sat down on the chair and lifted JD up and dropped him back down, the friction from the two men's bodies caused JD's trapped cock to swell even further. Chris could tell from JD's frantic movements and urgent, throaty sounds that the boy wouldn't last much longer. He slid their bodies apart just enough to reach the young man's nipples, he lifted and slammed several times more and then leaned down and took one nipple into his mouth he bit lightly and that was the last straw for the kid. Chris managed to kiss him just in time and he swallowed the boys scream just as the sprays of sticky white cum came shooting out. Chris felt the boys muscle start to spasm around him and that was all it took and he shot his own cum deep within JD's ass.

When Chris realized that JD had blacked out he carefully walked over to the bed and laid the boy down before he pulled himself out. He walked over to the pitcher, basin and cloth on the dresser and wet the cloth and wiped himself down before going back to the bed and wiping JD down. He had just finished when he found himself staring into hazel eyes full of wonder and surprise. Chris couldn't help himself, he found himself crawling into bed and tucking JD in with him. Once there he gently kissed the young man and wrapped him in his arms.

"Chris?"

"Yeah JD."

"Is it always like that?"

"Nope."

"Is this like a onetime thing?"

A fear rose up in the gunslinger. All it took was making love with the young sheriff once and he knew that he couldn't let him go, he'd lost too much in his life, he couldn't bear to lose anymore. But yet if that was what JD wanted, he also couldn't bear to try to hold on if there wasn't anything there. "Do you want it to be?"

"Nope. I ain't never felt like this before. Like I was the most special person in the world. Will it always be like this?"

"God I hope so! JD, you are the most special person in the world to me. I haven't felt like this since... well since Sarah. She'd have liked you. She would have cherished your friendship and your innocence."

"Chris, you just made love to me, I don't think I have any innocence left."

Chris closed his eyes and thought about how wrong the boy was, "I don't mean virginity JD, I mean innocence, that's something found in your soul. I lost mine a long time ago. That's why we worry about you so much, none of us wants to see you lose yours. It's the ability to see the best in people, to still be childlike at times. You have it, surprisingly enough Vin still has some. It has nothing to do with sex, only has to do with seeing too much of the darkness in peoples soul's. You have a good, clean soul; what the hell you want with me is something I can't imagine, I don't think a blacker soul than mine exists."

JD leaned up and gently kissed his closed eyes, Chris could feel the tears well up in them. "You're wrong you know. Maybe your soul is darker than mine, but it isn't black yet. If it was you wouldn't be doing this job. You wouldn't be here in this town protecting the people who live here. You wouldn't have taken such care to make sure everything was good for me, it wouldn't have mattered to someone with as black a soul as you think you've got."

Chris could feel the tears come from his eyes, he couldn't remember the last time he'd cried. Not even when Sarah and Adam had been killed had he cried, he'd locked the pain away up inside until it grew and festered like an open sore rotting away. This hurt, it hurt bad, but it felt like that same wound after it had been cleaned. It still hurt, but you knew that it would finally heal. All the while that he sobbed helplessly JD held him tight, just held on until the tears had finally stopped and the pain had eased. "Thank you, for being here, for caring, for just being you."

JD lightly kissed his lips and then laid his head down on Chris's shoulder. All of a sudden he could feel JD's body start to shake and he looked down to realize that the younger man was laughing. "What the hell is so funny?"

"I thought it was such a terrible day, but first I learned how to kiss from Ezra." Chris growled at that thought, JD just shook his head. "Then I learned how to get drunk from you and finally you taught me how it feels to make love and have someone make love to me. Guess it was a pretty damn good day after all. Just one small question, what are we going to tell Buck when he finds out that his oldest, dearest friend seduced his adopted little brother?"

"Oh shit! You started out the seduction, I just finished it, not that that's gonna matter to Buck. You might as well just shoot me now cuz I'm dead, Buck's gonna cut my balls off and shove em down my throat."

"Nah, you're safe, I'll protect you! I won't let that big bad Bucklin hurt you or your balls, I have plans for both of you! Now shut up and kiss me, then we're gonna take a nap after which you're gonna buy me dinner. I'm a growing boy, I burned up a lot of energy today and it needs replenished, so you get to feed me."

"Maybe I should just let Buck shoot me, I'm not sure I can afford to feed you, I've seen the way that you eat." Chris quickly stopped any further comments by effectively occupying JD's mouth until they decided to cuddle and nap, the world could wait until later. This was where he needed to be today.

The End
