RESCUED
Waiting for Tonight

by Cecilia


Ezra Standish was sitting outside the saloon all alone. He was feeling awful and quite depressed and he didn't really want to talk anyone and nobody was attempting to either. That is, until JD came over, he sat down in a chair beside Ezra. The conman sighed quietly and gave a small nod to JD, hoping that he wouldn't start talking. Of course, his hopes were in vain.

"What'cha doin'?" JD asked.

"Nothing, Mister Dunne." Ezra responded.

"You okay? You seem so weird. More quite than usual." JD was asking out of concern but it made Ezra jump out of his chair.

"I'm fine!" Ezra yelled and ran off.

"Jeez." JD said to himself as he watched Ezra race off.

Ez

When Ezra finally stopped he had been running for several minutes. He was breathing heavily and fell down into the grass to catch his breath.

Damn, I shouldn't have reacted like that. Ezra thought and cursed at himself. Now JD would tell Buck who would tell Vin who would tell Chris.

"Shit." Ezra muttered, Chris wasn't supposed to find out.

Ezra sat there deep in thought and never realised that someone sat down beside him in the grass. It wasn't until the person said:

"Talk to me, Ez." It was JD.

"What are you doing here?" Ezra hissed.

"Tell me what's wrong." JD said.

"I feel awful." Ezra said after a while of silence.

"What's wrong, Ezra. I'm worried about you." JD said and laid a hand on Ezra's arm.

"Thank you, Mister Dunne. I would like to talk to someone." Ezra said and looked at the younger man.

"Talk to me. I'll be here for you."

"I have some issues..." Ezra began but fell silent.

"Women trouble?"

"No! Lord no!" Ezra exclaimed quickly.

"Then what is it?" JD asked.

"I have come to realise that I have..." Ezra said. "Strong feelings for someone. At least I think I do."

"You said it wasn't women problems."

"It's not." Ezra said and looked at JD with a meaningfull stare.

"It's not? Then it must be... oh!" JD said. "Man trouble. I didn't know you were... too."

"Well I think I am." Ezra said and suddenly realised what JD had said. "What do you mean by you were too? "

"Well, I'm also..." JD said with a small smile.

"Really?!" Ezra was glad to realise that he wasn't all alone.

"Well, yeah." JD said. "So who is it?"

"Chris." Ezra simply stated.

"Really?! You too would make a great couple." JD said.

"You think? Well I'm not so sure that Mister Larabee would think that." Ezra said.

"Maybe he would." JD said. "How long have you been sure that you were..."

"I'm not sure." Ezra said with a sheepish smile.

"Then, why Chris?"

"It just feels like he's right." Ezra said. "But I'm not sure, I have never actually been with a man in any kind of way."

"Not too many around huh? At least not that you know of?" JD asked.

"Yes, somthing like that." Ezra smiled.

"Okay, then you'll get the chance to decide now." JD said and pushed Ezra down in the grass and placed himself ontop of him.

"What are you doing, Mister Dunne?" Ezra was in shock but also felt somewhat aroused.

"Well, you have to know that it's right." JD said. "Put your arms around me, Ezra."

Ezra did as JD said and wrapped his arms around JD's waist. JD gently brushed some hair from Ezra's forehead and traced a line down to his mouth. Ezra's breathing became a bit more laboured.
Suddenly JD lowered his head and quickly kissed Ezra on the mouth. The two men looked at each other and as Ezra slightly nodded JD once again lowered his mouth over Ezra's. This time Ezra really felt how soft JD's lips were, and he felt how JD's tongue pushed Ezra's lips apart and entered his mouth. As JD's tounge explored Ezra's mouth, Ezra couldn't help but give a low throaty moan. Finally they broke the kiss and both men were breathing heavily. JD sat up again and pulled Ezra up in a sitting position. Green eyes met black ones and yet again the two men met in a passionate kiss. As they broke for air Ezra was breathing more heavily than before.

"Feel right?" JD asked after a while.

"Yes." Was all Ezra managed to get out.

"You're a great kisser, Ezra." JD blushed some.

"Thank you. So are you. Fantastic I must say." Ezra said.

"You mean that?" JD lit up.

"Oh yes." Ezra said. "I most definitely mean that."

"Thank you." JD said. "Maybe I should try my kissing skills at Buck."

"What?!"

"He's the man for me." JD replied shyly.

"Of course he is." Ezra said realising that the relationship between JD and Buck was more than friendly. "Does Buck know?"

"No, I haven't told him... yet anyway." JD said. "Do you think I should?"

"Yes, I do. You would make a great couple too."

"Well, I kinda like kissing you..." JD smiled.

"Me too actually." Ezra whispered.

This time Ezra took control and climbed into JD's lap and ran his hands through JD's hair and gently started licking his bottom lip. JD whimpered at the touch and pulled Ezra closer and they met in another deep kiss.
Several minutes later JD and Ezra sat and looked at each other with arousal written all over their face. Shortly thereafter Ezra slid out of JD's lap and sat beside him. The two men just sat and looked at each other for a while until both of them started laughing.

"What're ya laughing 'bout?" A deep voice asked and it made them jump.

"Vin!" Ezra exclaimed as the ex - bounty hunter came up to them. "How long have you been here?"

"Long enough." Vin answered. "I don't care what you two are up to but from the looks of it, Buck does."

"What!?" JD said confused.

"I saw him staring at you from behind that tree and when I came up to him he stormed off." Vin said.

"Shit." JD murmured.

"Well, he appears to be a jealous man, Mister Dunne." Ezra smiled. "That is a good thing..."

"Yeah, I guess it is." JD said. "I'd better go after him. Where was he heading?"

"Towards his room." Vin said.

"Okay." JD bent over kissed Ezra softly and then rose up. "Bye."

"It's been a pleasure, Mister Dunne." Ezra was blushing furiously because Vin was there.

"So you two are...?" Vin said as he sat down beside the gambler.

"Well, we're not a couple, but we are both... not prefering the fairer sex." Ezra said not knowing how to put it.

"You and your words." Vin sighed with a small chuckle. "Then why were you two kissing like a pair of newly weds?"

"JD was just showing me..." Ezra said.

"How to kiss?" Vin said and tried to stiffle a giggle.

"It's not funny, Mister Tanner. I have never kissed a man before." Ezra said.

"Is it really that different from women then? Now that you know." Vin asked.

"I must say that you sound like you're somewhat curious, Mister Tanner." Ezra said with a questioning look.

"I'm not. I was just wondering, Ezra." Vin said with a smile.

"I will answer your question." Ezra said. "Yes, it was different, much better actually."

"So JD's a good kisser?" Vin said.

"Well, he certainly taught me a thing or two." Ezra sighed.

"And now you want to teach Chris, right?" Vin said casually.

"What!?!" Ezra was in shock.

"I know you like him. It's visible... To me at least." Vin said.

"Of course it is." Ezra said realising that Vin had very sharp eyes. "Have you told Chris? No you can't have, because he hasn't killed me yet."

"I haven't told him and I won't. But you won't get killed if you told him yourself." Vin said.

"Excuse me?"

"Chris is not fond of women... anymore." Vin said softly.

"Excuse me?" Ezra said again.

"You've already said that." Vin chuckled.

"What did you mean by your last statement?" Ezra said.

"Chris likes you." Vin said and turned around and left.

Ezra remained sitting in the grass for another hour pondering what he would do. First he thought that Vin was joking but then he realised that Vin wouldn't joke about that. Chris was too important to Vin and he wouldn't do or say anything like that if it wasn't true.

Ezra finally rose to his feet and started walking towards the saloon where he was sure he'd find Chris Larabee.

JD had been searching high and low for Buck but he wasn't in his room or in the saloon. JD sat down on the porch of the sheriff's office and thought about where Buck could have run off to. Suddenly it hit him, Buck would be just outside Four Corners by the creek, his favorite spot to ponder. JD mounted his horse and rode there.

Buck was sitting by the creek and never heard JD approaching. He only noticed him when JD cleared his throat behind him. Buck jumped to his feet and put up a smile that said: "I'm fine." JD however knew Buck too well to know that he wasn't fine. In Buck's eyes a sadness was present and the smile couldn't hide it.

"Hey kid!" Buck said sounding a little bit too happy.

"Buck." JD nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Buck asked.

"Nothing. I was just wondering where you were." JD said.

"Well I needed some time alone." Buck said and instantly regretted the words. "That didn't come out right, I meant..."

"I know what you meant." JD smiled. "There's nothing between Ezra and me."

"Ezra and you? What do you mean?" Buck wasn't a good liar JD noticed.

"Vin told me." JD said and took a step closer to Buck.

"Told you... About what?" Buck said and swallowed hard.

"You saw me and Ezra kissing and you stormed off." JD stated.

"I... I didn't... I didn't see anythin'." Buck lied again.

"Shut up." JD said and placed a hand on Buck's neck and pulled him down and kissed him quickly.

"What was that?" Buck asked after JD let him go.

"A kiss." JD said. "You're not gonna shoot me are ya?"

"No." Buck said. "Why did you kiss me?"

"Because I wanted to." JD smiled slightly.

"You did? Why?" Buck said.

"I like you." JD said deciding to be straight forward.

"You do? Why?"

"Buck! You're getting a bit weird on me here." JD complained.

"Hell, I'm sorry, JD. I just... I've never been kissed by a man before." Buck said with an apologetic smile.

"So you wanna do it again?" JD asked fearing he'd get a no back.

"...Eh... yes." Buck said after some hesitation.

JD wrapped his arms around Buck and Buck did the same. The two men looked at each other for a long while before Buck bent down and caught JD's lips. JD gently bit Buck's lower lip before thrusting his toungue into Buck's mouth. The two men kissed deeply for a long time and when they finally broke the kiss they looked at each other in silence.

"Let's ride back to town." JD said.

"Sure." Buck smiled as they both mounted their horses. "JD?"

"Yeah?"

"I did see you and Ezra. What were you doing?" Buck asked with a hint of jealousy.

"Nothing, I promise. Ezra was just uncertain that he likes men. I merely helped him." JD said.

"Helped him? By kissing him?" Buck said as they rode into town.

"Yeah, it didn't mean anything, Buck, I promise." JD said.

"Well, I guess you'll have to convince me..." Buck smiled.

"I'd really like that." JD said as the left their horses in the livery and headed for Buck's room.

As soon as Buck closed the door behind JD, they met in a passionate kiss. JD shrugged out of his coat as did Buck. The two men's kiss never once broke when they undressed each other and finally fell into bed.

Outside the saloon Ezra stood trying to decide what to do. Finally he pushed through the saloon doors and found Chris at the table. Ezra walked over casually and sat down beside Chris who simply nodded at him. After a while Chris rose from his chair. Ezra looked up at the black - clad man and then rose too.

"I'm going to bed." Ezra said casually.

"Me too." Chris said and the two men left the saloon together.

The two men exited the saloon and went out into the warm evening. Ezra started walking slowly towards his room and Chris followed him. As they were about to part ways Chris said:

"Ezra, you still have my knife."

"Yes I believe that I do." Ezra said and suddenly saw an opportunity. "Why don't you come with me to my room and you can have it back immediately?"

"Sure." Chris said and Ezra smile inwardly.

They both went up to Ezra's room where Ezra unlocked the door and opened it. Chris stepped in first and quickly looked over the room. It was just as he'd expect from Ezra Standish, clean, organized and luxurious. Ezra immediately took off his waistcoat and hung over a chair. Then he started looking for the knife he had borrowed from Chris. Chris sat down in one of the available chairs and quietly watched Ezra move about in the room.

"Damn it." Ezra quietly cursed.

"What's up?" Chris asked.

"I can't seem to locate your knife, Mister Larabee." Ezra said with an apologetic smile.

"'S okay. I don't really need it." Chris said.

"Alright..." Ezra said somewhat confused.

"I guess I'll see ya tomorrow, Ezra?" Chris said as he got up from the chair.

"Perhaps." Ezra said feeling his opportunity slip away.

Chris grabbed the doorhandle but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and was met by Ezra's green eyes looking intensly at him. Chris marvelled at how beautiful Ezra's eyes were as he was looking into them. Suddenly Ezra pushed Chris backwards until his back hit the door and then he claimed Chris' mouth and parted his lips with his tongue. Chris was in shock at first but quickly recovered and wrapped his arms around Ezra's waist. Finally the men had to come up for air and both were breathing heavily. Ezra looked up and met Chris' blue stare, he wondered if Chris was going to punch him.

"Ezra..." Chris panted. "What the hell was that?"

"A kiss." Ezra said quietly. "You want me dead, right?"

"Oh no, definitely not." Chris said. "I want you to kiss me again."

"What!?!"

"Get over here!" Chris said and pulled Ezra to him and he kissed Ezra passionately.

As the kiss became deeper and deeper Ezra felt Chris starting to unbutton his white shirt. Ezra felt how one button after another were opened and soon Chris pulled off Ezra's shirt. Ezra on the other hand practically tore off Chris' black duster and ripped open his shirt. As Chris shrugged out of his shirt Ezra studied Chris' lean body. Then again Chris embraced Ezra and they kissed again.

"Loose the gunbelt." Ezra said as he found it difficult to get Chris undressed.

"If you loose yours and that derringer." Chris smiled slightly.

Both men unclasped their belts and threw them on the floor and Ezra unhooked his derringer and threw it in a chair. Then he returned to Chris' open arms and they kissed again. Chris started exploring Ezra's upper body with his hands and Ezra moaned contently. Ezra unbuttoned Chris' pants and they fell to the floor revealing a pair of very sexy legs. Through Chris' underwear Ezra could see that he was very aroused.

"You starin' at me?" Chris asked.

"As a matter of fact I am." Ezra answered. "You're simply ravishing, Mister Larabee."

"Loose the 'mister,' would ya? It's Chris." He smiled and kissed Ezra again.

Chris shortly thereafter started tugging at Ezra's pants and soon they fell to the floor along with his underwear. Chris looked at Ezra's slim muscular body and drew in a long breath as he became even more aroused. Then he proceeded in taking his own underwear off. Ezra pushed Chris into bed and he lay on his back looking up at the gambler. Ezra kissed Chris again and then he traced a line with his tongue from Chris' mouth to his belly button. Chris couldn't help but give low throaty moans which in turn made Ezra even more aroused. Ezra's hands began exploring Chris' body soon hands and mouth met and firmly gripped Chris' manhood. As Ezra did that Chris moaned loudly and as Ezra descended his mouth over Chris shaft, Chris grabbed the sheets and bit down on his lip to keep from screaming. Ezra ran his tongue up and down and he felt Chris tremble under him. Chris was panting heavily now and moaning as Ezra almost swallowed all of Chris' manhood. Chris breath came in small ragged gasps as Ezra continued sucking him. Suddenly Ezra released him and Chris' eyes flew open feeling a sense of loss. His eyes locked with Ezra's and he pleaded for him to go on.

"I want you to look at me, Chris." Ezra whispered and Chris nodded.

Then Ezra returned to the job at hand and softly raked his teeth along the tip and Chris moaned loudly. Chris did what Ezra wanted and kept looking at him as he ran his tounge over the tip a few times. Ezra looked up at Chris and then he took him in his mouth again.

"Oh God..." Chris whimpered. "I'm gonna come if you don't stop."

Instead of removing his mouth Ezra began sucking harder and faster. Chris' world turned black as he felt his body convulse and then he exploded in Ezra's mouth. Chris barely noticed that Ezra drank everything greedily and then he licked himself around the mouth and climbed up to Chris. Chris lay in the bed with a content smile on his lips and he looked up at Ezra and then wrapped him in his arms. Chris lowered his mouth over Ezra's kissing him and tasting his own fluids in Ezra's wonderful mouth.

"I love you, Ezra." Chris whispered.

"You do?" Ezra looked at Chris surprised. "I love you too, Chris."

"Thank you." Chris said after a while.

"I've been waiting for tonight for a long time." Ezra said as he once again kissed his lover.

The End
