Four days passed before Ezra was allowed time out of the comfort zone of Vin's bed. Truth be told he didn't fight too hard, he loved being in the sharpshooters bed. The scents and images of the younger man surrounding him, comforting him. He slept almost constantly for the first two days, allowing himself to completely relax. On the infrequent occasions when he woke in daylight hours, it was to find one of his friends in the bedroom with him, but never Vin after that first morning. Nights were what he waited almost breathlessly for. Deep into the night Vin would crawl into the bed behind him, cradling him in his arms.

Casting his eyes towards the window he watched the red and orange hues that signalled a return of the man who made him whole. He couldn't begin to imagine how empty his life would be without the scruffy young man who was his lover. He didn't need the physical act to know something that his heart had been telling him since the moment their lips had first touched. He loved Vin to distraction.

Climbing from the bed, he stepped into maroon silk pyjama bottoms and walked unsteadily from the bedroom knowing that he would find one of his other friends somewhere outside. His fingers run through mussed 'bed' hair, his chin covered with light stubble. His eyes clouding with desire as he remembered the last time his face met with a razor. He had complained about the light stubble that covered his face and Vin had disappeared, returning shortly after shaving him carefully. An exercise that had led to long slow wet kisses that had both men melting in the others arms.

Walking into the kitchen he opened the fridge. Within seconds, his watcher was at his side.

"You okay Ezra?" Buck spoke with a smile to see Ezra out and about "I'm fine Buck," he smiled at the concern in the ladies man's voice "I know I have been less than stellar but today I am feeling better than good," he poured a glass of juice and closed the fridge door "Really?" Buck spoke almost tentatively.

"I don't know how else to prove it to you Buck." Ezra looked at him a sincere look of happiness on his face.

"What about in here?" Buck pressed his hand against the smaller man's chest waiting for him to understand the question.

Suddenly Buck's almost big brotherly concern was crystal clear to Ezra. A smile creased his face as he looked up into Buck's deep blue eyes. "Your concern is touching Buck," he clasped Buck's hand tightly "But it is unfounded" he smiled at the larger man "I am hopelessly and irrevocably in love with our young sharpshooter."

"In love you say?" Buck stated "How long has this been going on?"

"Not as long as you seem to think," Ezra spoke leaning back against the counter sipping slowly at the glass of orange juice "But from the first time his lips touched mine my heart knew what it wanted."

"I hope you two are doing the safe sex thing," he admonished firmly.

"As if it's any of your business." Ezra's face coloured with a deep blush "That is not yet a concern"

"Hell, you haven't?" Buck's voice sounded incredulous "you boys need to get your act together then."

"You need some pointers from Ol Buck?" he added.

"Regretfully," Ezra raised his eyebrows "No," he continued "I believe we can muddle along without your expert guidance."

"You sure?" Buck frowned as Ezra moved past him and walked back towards the bedroom.

"I can assure you Mr Wilmington that we are both adults and perfectly capable of arranging our own affairs."

"Don't look like you've done real good so far," Buck smiled "Neither of us like to bed hop the way someone," Ezra smiled widely "who shall remain nameless does."

"Hey," Buck stated "I don't bed hop," he explained "I like to offer a good thing to anyone who's interested."

"Yes but should you be spreading yourself that thin," Ezra laughed.

"Seriously Ezra," Buck stopped their good natured banter "If you need a friend or just a shoulder to cry on I'm here," he looked into Ezra's face as he spoke

"Thank you Buck," Ezra spoke allowing his face to mirror the gratitude and friendship he felt for the older man. Buck pulled him into a tight bearhug, letting him know beyond a shadow of a doubt how he felt, belatedly remembering Ezra's healing injuries and releasing his hold.

"Go and get some rest," Buck spoke "I'll wake you when he gets home."

Ezra retreated to the sanctuary of the bedroom, contemplating the revelations of Buck's comments as he fell into the bed. Laying there, he watched the ceiling for some time, eventually giving up any hope of short nap before his lovers return. Climbing out of the bed he wandered through to the bathroom and turned on the shower jets.

Turning to the vanity unit, he looked assessingly at the person that looked back at him. Slowly unwinding the tape from his ribs, he was shocked to see the deep yellowish green of the fading bruises that adorned his ribcage. He ran his fingers down the still angry blueish purple of the deepest bruise on his sternum. The bare facts of the car accident that had injured him had been fed to him courtesy of Buck, JD and Vin but still he could remember nothing of the events that led up to his convalesance at Vin's Purgatorio home. Occasionally he would have a flash of memory that seemed to be nothing more than a dream, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't seem to string the memories together into a coherent thought.

Sliding the pyjama bottoms over his hips and down his legs he stepped out of them and into the steamy shower enclosure. Stepping fully under the strong jets of steaming hot water, he allowed the pulsating water to massage his flesh like millions of probing fingers. He welcomed the discomfort that the water hitting his bruised ribcage and moved only minimally to ease the slight pain. Resting his forehead against the tile wall, he savoured the massaging fingers of water, losing himself in the relaxation.

He never noticed the door opening behind him until long fingers began kneading his shoulders gently.

"Ohhhhh," he murmured as the long agile fingers worked unspeakable magic on his tense muscles.

"I missed you," Vin murmured against his ear ducking his head to Ezra's face for a quick kiss "How do you feel?"

"Better now," Ezra whispered as Vin began to rub himself against Ezra's naked water slick body

"Good," Vin murmured as he laved his tongue back and forth against Ezra's neck.

"Where's Buck?" Ezra asked as he tilted his head back to give Vin better access to his neck.

"Aint no room in here for Buck as well," Vin spoke with a laugh as he looked into Ezra's startled eyes "He's gone home," he explained "We've got the place to ourselves"

Ezra turned in Vin's arms and looped his arms around Vin's waist "Perhaps it would be an opportune moment to vacate the shower?"

"Not just yet," Vin spoke reaching behind Ezra and lifted a bottle of shampoo. Squeezing some into his hand he tenderly massaged it into the smaller man's hair. Small moans of pleasure escaped Ezra's lips as Vin's long fingers massaged his scalp. Ezra gave himself up to the sensation of Vin's fingers tracing through his hair. Touching his scalp as he wanted him to touch his body. Allowing his body to lean against his lovers as he completely relaxed.

Vin smiled at Ezra's acquiesiance and leaned forward to allow the cooling water to rinse the suds from Ezra's hair, his own hands stopping the soap from getting into his eyes. As crystal blue eyes watched the last of the soap rinse from the chestnut locks he tipped Ezra's head bad and took his mouth with his own. Standing under the pulsing jets of water, he devoured Ezra's mouth, his tongue plundering the warm cavern that was his lovers mouth. The water cascaded over them like a sensuous waterfall, the trickling path of the water followed by Vin's fingers on Ezra's face.

Ezra's own hands could not remain idle. His fingers traced gently over the ribs of the man who had become the centre of his universe. Fingers traced each individual rib, following his ribcage down lower until his hand moved to cover Vin's lower belly. He could feel the quiver of muscles beneath his hand, his fingers barely skimming the curling hair that brushed the tips of his fingers as he stroked. Allowing his fingers to move lower, he closed his hand around the pulsing shaft that brushed against his belly as he leaned into Vin's body.

His mouth twisted into a smile as he heard the sharply in drawn breath of the taller man. Pulling back from his kiss, Ezra looked deeply into the half closed eyes of the sharpshooter. Leaning forward he trailed his lips down Vin's neck, moving to his chest he laved Vin's flat nipples with his tongue, his hand all the while moving slowly on his throbbing shaft. Slowly trailing his tongue down Vin's chest he fell to his knees before him. Ezra' s tongue wetly circled Vin's navel, imitating what his body wanted to do.

Casting his eyes upwards as he moved his mouth lower, he extended his tongue to flick across Vin's tip as their eyes met. He watched as Vin's eye's grew even darker with desire, but as he opened his mouth and took Vin's hard shaft between his lips he watched Vin's eyes close and his knees buckle. His lips closed around the flesh that filled his mouth, his tongue swirling around it. Vin's fingers moved to tangle in Ezra's hair, as his mouth worked its magic. Ezra's hands moved to clasp Vin's buttocks, pushing him closer, his fingers trailing slowly, teasing him.

Vin closed his eyes and concentrated on staying upright as Ezra's suckling mouth created sensations of exquisite bliss within him. As Ezra's lips closed around him all coherent thought fled from his mind. His entire being became focussed on the pleasure that Ezra was giving him, his gentle fingers rolling the swollen sacs in his hand as his swollen shaft slipped in and out of his mouth. Ezra's mouth moving rapidly up and down as he tightened his lips and looked into the bliss filled face of his lover.

The exquisite ecstasy was too much for Vin to bear for long, four days of foreplay had seen him aroused most of his waking hours. Without volition, his fingers slid into Ezra's hair, his own hands propelling Ezra's mouth harder and faster in its tight sucking motion as he lost control of his body. Ezra swallowed deeply as Vin orgasmed in his mouth. Seconds later Vin 's knees buckled and he sank to sit on the floor of the shower enclosure, his back pressed against the corner of the cubicle. Pulling Ezra close to him and kissing him deeply, tasting himself in the smaller man's mouth.

Pulling Ezra gently down, the lukewarm water still striking their bodies Vin turned Ezra to sit against him, his body supporting the smaller man's as he reached around him to wrap his hand around the swollen shaft. One hand moved to trace lightly across the taut pectoral muscles, carefully avoiding the fading bruises as the other hand pumped the throbbing shaft. His fingers slowed as he listened to Ezra's gasping breath.

"Please," Ezra moaned "Please don't stop."

Vin turned Ezra's head to his and captured his mouth with his own his tongue plunging into Ezra's mouth in rhythm with the movements of his hand. Ezra's hand moved to wrap around Vin's wrist as his hips jerked helplessly into Vin's hand. As Vin's thumb rubbed erotically over his weeping tip, Ezra lost control of his senses and his body. Both men watched as he erupted within Vin's grasp, his juices now coating Vin's fingers. He turned his head back to Vin and met his lips soundly, kissing him with all the love and desire he felt for the long haired sharpshooter.

Both men sat entwined on the shower enclosure floor, trying to regain some composure as the tepid water that beat against them began to grow cold.

"C'mon," Vin spoke against Ezra's temple "Lets go to bed," he rose to his feet and pulled Ezra after him, careful not to pull too hard on his ribs. Shutting off the shower, he grabbed a towel and carefully dried his lover before quickly towelling himself dry. Leading Ezra after him, they made their way to the bed and fell into each others arms sinking into a sated sleep.
