Zeke Andersen took a huge breath to steady his nerves as the elevator door opened at his designated floor. Stepping from the elevator, Zeke made his way down the hall towards Team Seven's office. Pausing at the door, he nervously smoothed his sports coat and straightened his tie before taking a deep breath. Cautiously, Zeke opened the door to take in the chaos that was Team Seven.
The ex special-ops quietly observed six men huddled around a table, talking to each other in low tones. Not wishing to interrupt what was obviously something important, Zeke stood quietly just inside the door looking around at the room. To the sergeant, it looked like a bomb had exploded.
There were pizza and donut boxes scattered around the room with contents half eaten, soda cans were overflowing garbage cans while paper overlaid every surface. Maps and what looked like building diagrams were attached to every vertical surface while a sea of white, blue, and gray covered desks, filing cabinets and some areas of the floor.
Zeke brought his attention back to the six men as he took the opportunity to observe the five men his captain and ex-lover considered his family. The first one to capture his attention was the youngest of the six men, for even standing still the young man seemed to be a bundle of energy. His messy brown-black hair fell into his expressive dark eyes, which reminded him of another pair of brown eyes, his lover's. Unlike Myron's golden skin, this young man was fair but both of them had the same high cheekbones and full, slightly pouting lips that gave them both that just kissed look.
The hand that rested possessively on the small of the young man's back caught Zeke's eye for that hand belong to his ex-lover. Zeke took a moment to check out his old lover's appearance and couldn't help but notice how wonderful the man looked. If he wasn't so in love with Myron he would consider renewing their affair, but he was and if he was reading the signs right, Josiah was in very much interested in the young man next to him.
Zeke then turned his attention to the other men in the room. The tall, commanding blonde must be the Chris Larabee that Josiah had told him about. Next to Larabee stood a younger man with long hair who was nodding at something the blonde was pointing at. The young man then pointed to something else and started to gesture, which had the other men nodding their heads. From Josiah's descriptions Zeke determined that this must be the team sharpshooter, Vin Tanner.
Two men had their backs turned to him but he could see that one of them was African American, which meant he must be Nathan Jackson, the team medic and the other must be either JD Dunne or Buck Wilmington. Taking a quick look at the young man that was leaning against Josiah, Zeke determine that he must be JD Dunne, the computer wiz of the team and the other man must be the surveillance and bomb expert, Buck Wilmington.
The only one missing was Ezra Standish the team's main undercover agent and by the amount of planning going on a bust must be going down shortly.
+ + + + + + +
Finalizing the last few details, Chris glanced up towards Buck when he noticed the man standing quietly in the corner. Straightening up, he quietly challenged the stranger. The other men noticed that something had caught their leader's attention and turned.
Josiah, surprised at seeing who it was, said, "Zeke?"
Zeke shifted a little uneasily at being the center of attention, but grinned. "Hi, Preacher… I hope I'm not interrupting anything … I could always come back later."
Josiah shot his leader a quick look only to be given a quick approval nod. Smiling, he walked toward his ex-lover and give him a brief but tight hug. "No, I have some time." Josiah then turned to lead Zeke away, but seeing the curiosity in the eyes of his teammates, Josiah started the introductions as each man shook Zeke's hand. "Guys this is Zeke Anderson. We were in the same unit during the Gulf War."
After a few pleasantries were exchanged, Josiah led Zeke to his office and closed the door. Zeke nervously took his seat while Josiah made his way around the desk and sat down in his own chair. "Zeke … not that it isn't great to see you … but why are you here?"
Zeke's twinkling blue eyes looked up at his old friend and ex-lover. "Well … Josiah, I was wondering if you would be willing to perform a wedding ceremony for Myron and me."
Pure delight spread across Josiah's face as he got up to hug Zeke. "You finally talked him into it! I would love too, Zeke! When?"
"We sort of were planning to do it next Friday at our hotel at Lake Tahoe. Would you be able to come?"
"Try to keep me away."

The house was in darkness, except for the flickering light of the TV and the scented candles that dotted the room. Chinese take out cartons decorated the coffee table along with a set of dirty plates and a couple of empty beer cans. Behind the table bathed by the television light laid two men entwined together on the couch. The smaller man lying slightly off to one side of the larger where both could watch the television in comfort. The larger man had one arm cradling the other while he gently petted the other's bare arm with his fingertips as they both watched the action of the small screen.
JD sighed as he snuggled more firmly into his boyfriend's chest. Enjoying how lying in Josiah's arms made him feel so safe and loved. How this man changed his world for the better. Was it just four short … wonderful … perfect months ago that he found Josiah? Turning, he looked up into Josiah's face as he realized that he had been asleep most of his life until that day. That day Josiah kissed and wakened him. Awakened him to the knowledge of who he was, who he wanted…and needed.
Looking up at Josiah, JD realized this is exactly where he wanted to be. That he wanted and needed this giant gentle man in his life.
His gentle giant.
During the last four months he slowly got to know Josiah both inside and out. They took their time to slowly get to know each other on this new level. Realizing that he like being kissed, held by Josiah and the gentle exploration of each other's body. Josiah never pushed but allowed him to decide how fast and how far to explore the physical aspect of their relationship. Allowing time for him to get used to the idea that he was falling in love with a man.
JD tightened his arm around Josiah's waist, feeling the power and strength this man had in spades. He felt those strong arms gently tighten before relaxing to hold him safe as they turned their attention back to the show they were watching.
JD and Josiah had stumbled upon the ‘Tremors' TV series that was airing on the Sci-Fi channel and discovered that they had both loved the movie version. Settling next to Josiah, JD watched the interaction between the two main characters and couldn't help but notice the way the two men interacted with one another. He remembered taking a sip of his coke when it dawned on him. The two men were flirting with each other. This had him swallow the wrong way, which had Josiah gently patting and rubbing his back until the coughing stopped.
He told Josiah about the conclusion he came to. Josiah hadn't noticed but agreed to keep an open mind. As they continued to watch the show it became a game to find those moments that spoke of a relationship between the two men. Each time one of them found those moments the other forfeited a kiss.
Since they had missed most of the first airing of this particular episode, when the Chinese food arrived, they decided to tune into the second showing of this episode. JD had caught a glimpse of this part while Josiah paid for delivery and by the time the older man got back it was long passed. JD sat up to look down at his boyfriend and excitedly gestured towards the TV. "This is it, Josiah. Watch."
The men watched as one of the younger of the male main characters was woken up in the middle of the night by the phone. The character Tyler was still half asleep as he answered, "Hello."
"Tyler, is Bert there?"
"No, he isn't. What's up?"
JD ignored the rest of scene as he turned back to Josiah. "See, Josiah! Why would he call Tyler in the dead of night looking for Bert if they weren't lovers."
The preacher grinned as he ran his hands up and down JD's back in a loving gesture. "Hmmmm … I think you are right about that." The bigger man wrapped his arms around JD, yanking him close. JD's eye started to burn with a sultry heat as he smiled at his boyfriend.
Josiah just barely brush their lips together as he huskily whispered, "I just have to pay up then."
The two men's lips met in a hungry kiss as one of Josiah's hands cupped the back of JD's head to help hold the younger still so that he could deepen the kiss. Josiah's other hand skimmed down to slip under the younger man's waistband to cup one bare cheek.
JD groaned in desire as he opened his mouth to allow his lover in. Knowing this would turn his lover on, JD gently started to suck at Josiah's probing tongue making the older man groan in return. One slender hand slipped under the profiler's blue T-shirt to move upwards to play in Josiah's thick chest hair. Questing fingers found one of the older man's smooth nipples, which quickly hardened into a peak with JD help.
Slowly the two men parted before JD laid his head onto Josiah's shoulder, his fingers stimulating the older man's hard nipple. Tilting his head up he started to suckle on the skin just behind Josiah's ear knowing that this was one of the older man's hot spots. Between assaults on that sensitive spot JD whispered into Josiah's ear, "I'm … ready Josiah … I want … you to … make love … to me."
Josiah groaned as he heard the words he was waiting for and reached one hand up to cup JD's head to direct the younger man's face towards his. He attacked JD's sweet mouth with all the pent up passion he had held in check for the last four months until the younger man had decided that it was time.
He shuffled around so that JD could roll between him and the back of couch before he pulled and tugged the younger man under him.
JD loved the feel of Josiah pinning him down with his greater weight and strength. He felt safe and treasured by the older man. Encouraged by Josiah, he turned his head aside letting the older man kiss and suckle on his neck as he wrapped one leg over Josiah's hip before his foot came to rest between the older man's legs.
JD squeaked when he felt the sting of a little bite that was quickly turned into a moan as Josiah's tongue and lips quickly soothed the hurt.
Josiah had marked him.
No one had ever marked him before and he groaned as he arched his encouragement by rubbing his body against his lover's.
Both men were lost in passion as they thrust against each other driven by the desire to consummate their love for one another.
Josiah pulled back to breathe, trying to get his breath back before looking down into JD's flushed face. The older man never saw a more beautiful sight than the one before him. The younger man's lips were red and swollen from the hard, passionate kisses they had just shared. Hunger and love shone in JD's warm brown eyes, and these emotions reminded Josiah that he couldn't take JD's like this.
No!
This young man deserved far more than to rut on the sofa like a couple of teenagers.
JD deserved romance … to be made love to.
All JD knew was that Josiah had stopped and he didn't want that. Reaching up, he wrapped his arms around Josiah's neck and tried to drag his lover back down to continue with what they were doing.
Josiah pulled back again, lifting JD's upper body from the couch as he reached back to gently pull apart the younger man's hands. The profiler could see that JD was confused as to why he had pulling away.
JD saw the passion and desire in Josiah's eyes. "Josiah –"
Josiah placed a single finger on JD's kiss-swollen lips, silencing the younger man. "Shhhhssshhh … Love. I want to do this right. I don't want to make love here like some teenagers. I want our first time to be wonderful for both of us. Something that we can remember twenty years from now on our anniversary."
JD looked up at his lover and saw how much this meant to him. He didn't really care where they did this, for he just wanted Josiah now. But he would do anything to make the older man happy. And if this meant waiting a little while, so be it. Smiling, JD reached up to cup Josiah's cheek and rub his thumb across the man's bottom lip. "Ok, Josiah, anything you want."
Capturing the younger man's hand in his hand, Josiah placed a kiss in the center of the palm. "You won't regret it, Love." Josiah leaned down to gently brush JD's hair from his forehead and noticed how long it has gotten; he wondered if he could talk JD into growing his hair as long as Vin's. "You remember Zeke, right?"
JD frowned as to where this might lead and nodded his head. He remembered the good-looking man that had come to see Josiah. The strong open face, hard body, and laughing eyes. Twinkling blue eyes that ran over Josiah with a familiarity that had pissed him off. The way the both of them were so comfortable with each other. JD knew Zeke and Josiah had been lovers. Well if Zeke wanted Josiah back he had a fight on his hands.
Josiah noted the frown but didn't know the cause as he continued. "He asked me to come and hand fast him and his partner up at Lake Tahoe." Seeing the frown disappear to be replaced by a puzzled look Josiah told him. "He wants me to marry him and Myron. They own a nice big hotel on the lake and I though we could go up there early and stay for a few days."
JD smiled in relief because Zeke wasn't interested in Josiah.
Josiah was all his.
Squeezing the hand still holding his, JD told Josiah, "Do you think Chris would let us go?"
"I don't see why not. If the bust goes down as planned on Sunday we should have all the reports and evidence logged by Wednesday. We can leave right after work and be back to work on Tuesday."
+ + + + + + +
Everything had gone perfectly, and as a reward Travis allowed them to take Wednesday afternoon and the rest of the week off. They were lucky to catch an earlier flight and now they were here.
As they landed JD couldn't believe how blue the lake was or how breathtaking the scenery of the mountains, the forest and the lake were. They arrived and found a limo waiting to drive them up to one of the biggest and most beautiful hotels on the lake. Stepping out of the limo, JD saw people coming and going along with a couple of gay couples that were holding hands. No one seemed to be bothering them and that gave him the courage to slip his hand into Josiah's.
Josiah was startled when he felt JD slip his hand into his. They had never done this because it was too dangerous – someone might see them and that could not only endanger them but the others as well. But here … here they could and he gently squeezed the smaller hand as they follow the bellboy in.
JD felt him jaw drop as he stepped into the lobby and looked around the hotel. He had heard of four-star hotels but he had never been in one … at least until now. He trusted Josiah to keep him from bumping into anyone as he continued to look everywhere until he heard "Josiah" being yelled.
JD turned, expecting to see Zeke approaching them but instead it was another man. A man that had heads turning to follow his progress as he crossed the lobby to them. The only way JD could describe the man would be to say he was gorgeous.
The stranger was dressed casually but expensively in a simple tan trouser, white shirt with a navy sweater hanging over his shoulder. His hair was a little messy as if he either ran his hands through it or if someone else did giving him that sexy look that so many men try for but could never get. He could have been a model with his dark, sultry eyes, thin nose and sharp cheeks and the way he walked. It was a combination of Chris's masterful stride and Vin's sensual swagger that was sexy as all hell.
Josiah pulled his hand from JD to embrace the other man. JD's heart started to sink, thinking that this might have been one of Josiah's other lovers. How could he compete with someone like that?
Josiah turned around to introduce Myron to JD and saw his lover's face. Reaching out he pulled JD into his arms and held him tight. Josiah kissed the top of JD's head and, leaving his arm around his lover, he turned them to face Myron.
When Zeke told him about Josiah's new boyfriend and how young he was, the first thing he thought of was that JD was trying to take advantage of Josiah and was prepared to put the little tramp in his place. But when he saw the young man and those sad eyes as he had hugged and flirted Josiah he felt like a heel. He could see JD was a good kid and really loved Josiah.
Hoping to make it up to the younger man Myron held out his hand. "Hello JD, let me introduce myself. Myron Goldman at your service." The young man reached out and shook his hand firmly as a smile blossomed.
Oh! My! thought Myron. He then shot a ‘we will talk soon' look at Josiah as a strong arm wrapped around his waist and he knew that it was Zeke. Myron leaned back, allowing the strength and warmth of the other man surround him as Zeke greeted Josiah and JD.
After pleasantries were exchanged Myron decided that he needed to have a talk with Josiah about the boy — now. "Zeke, why don't you show JD to his and Josiah's room. I need to talk to Josiah about the wedding."
JD could tell something was up and with the look that Myron had shot Josiah when he introduced himself told the younger man something was up. He could also see that Zeke also had the same feeling.
Josiah gave Myron a puzzled look before placing a quick kiss on JD's forehead before letting him go.
As he and Zeke walked across the lobby JD couldn't help but look back to see if Josiah was going to be ok.
He felt a strong hand settle on his shoulder. "Don't worry, JD. Myron won't hurt him … at least not where there are any witnesses."
Josiah watched JD walk away, giving him an encouraging smile before turning to Myron. Who was once again giving him that stern look as he started to drag him from the lobby into one of the empty banquet rooms. Once in the quiet of the room Myron turned on his old captain and friend. Myron got into the profiler's face and demanded, "Josiah! What the hell has gotten into you? That … that child could only be seventeen or eighteen at the most –"
"Myron, JD's twenty-seven and was a cop in Boston before joining the ATF three years ago."
Myron looked at him incredibly. "No way is he twenty-seven!"
Josiah sat down on one of the chairs near the door before sighing and rubbing his face tiredly. Myron turned another chair around to sit down and gently touched Josiah's leg. "Josiah? What's wrong?"
Josiah lifted his face from his hands to look at his old friend. "Myron. I love him and he loves me but … am I doing the right thing. He's so young and I'm so much older than him. He's never … we never … ummm –"
The older man paused searching for the words to express himself as Myron realized what Josiah was telling him. "Josiah. JD loves you. You both are old enough to know what you are doing. And you do love him don't you, Josiah?"
"God, Myron! I love him so much it hurts."
"Then love him."
"But … what if he decides that –"
"Then you have to deal with it when it comes, but Josiah, the way JD looks at you. I don't think you will have a problem."
"But –"
"Josiah, I know. Remember I was in the same shoes that JD is in. Hell, I was younger than he was when I met Zeke and look at us now! We have been together for ten years and I'm going to marry Zeke in two days. You and JD can have what Zeke and I have if you want it."
"Myron, he's never been with a man before. What if I hurt him?"
Myron squeezed Josiah's hand. "Josiah. You remember I was a virgin when Zeke and I made love that first time." The young man paused trying to make eye contact with his friend and waited for an answer. Only when Josiah looked at him and nodded his head did Myron continued. "You taught Zeke everything you knew and yes it was uncomfortable at the beginning but you taught him well. The pain was nothing compared to how wonderful it was. I have no worries that you will hurt JD because you know what you are doing and more importantly you love him. Josiah let your heart lead you and you won't have any problems."

Nathan shook his head and grinned as he watched his boss, Chris Larabee, dragging his lover into the house. And by Buck's happy expression the two men wouldn't be making an appearance for the next hour or maybe two.
Wanting to give the lovers some time alone, he decided to go and see what Vin and Ezra were up. He hadn't seen them for about an hour and no telling what type of trouble those two got into.
The medic wandered over towards the barn, pausing to watch their horses play with one another. Placing one booted foot on the bottom rail and resting his arms on the top rung, he lifted his face into the warmth of the sun enjoying this beautiful September day. Nathan thought to himself that there won't be too many more days like this one till the snow and cold weather arrives.
Seeing the seven horses together he couldn't help but wonder why JD had decided to go with Josiah to his friends' wedding. Now that he was thinking about it, Nathan realized that Josiah and JD had been spending a lot more time together than they had before. Of course now that Buck was living with Chris, JD might be a little lonely.
But why Josiah?
JD must know people his own age that he could hang out with that would have the same interests as him. Not that JD didn't have anything in common with Josiah, but still the older man might like some time for himself.
Heck maybe Josiah would even allow him and Rain to set him up with the new doctor that just started at the hospital. From what Rain told him, she and Josiah would be perfect for each other.
Nathan couldn't help but wish that his wife could have joined him today but Rain had to work and couldn't make it. It was just lately if she wasn't around, he started to feel like a fifth wheel around his friends. Sighing, he turned towards the barn where he knew his other two friends had disappeared into.
Slipping around the door, he paused to allow his eyes to become adjusted from the bright sunlight to the darkness of the interior. As he was about to call out he heard Ezra laugh, followed by, "Mr. Tanner … stop it. I'm trying to get some work done."
Grinning, Nathan headed towards the tack room where Ezra's voice came from. He could hear low voices and laughter as he threaded his way to the little room. Only to have his mouth falling open at the sight that greeted his eyes.
Both Vin and Ezra were standing towards the back of the room near where they stored the saddles. To all appearances they had been working at oiling and cleaning their saddles but now they had something else on their minds.
Ezra was standing shirtless in the filtered rays of the sun coming in from the side window. His neck was arched back so that his head rested on Vin's shoulder. One of the sharpshooter's hands tenderly held and stroked across the southerner's throat, as he laid kisses along the southerner's shoulder and neck making the southerner groan in passion. Vin's other hand wandered slowly down the strong chest to play and roll Ezra's nipples into hard nibs before continuing downwards to the opening of the southerner's pants.
Ezra –
Vin –
Together!?
Nathan knew that he should turn away and give the two men privacy but he couldn't. He was frozen where he stood and could only watch as Vin's slender fingers made short work of Ezra's pants before pushing both jeans and underwear down over the southerner's hips leaving him nude from the knees up.
Both men were whispering words of love and endearments during pauses between heated kisses and moans as the sharpshooter's hands roamed over his lover's body. Vin played Ezra's body like a maestro, wringing cries and whimpers of pleasure out of the normally controlled southerner that Nathan found himself responding to and thinking of Rain.
Nathan could only stare in wonder at how beautiful Ezra was at this moment with his skin flushed with desire, muscles flexing and arching under masterful strokes, his sex hard and leaking as the sharpshooter tenderly massaged him.
Slowly Vin bent Ezra over the saddle while he encouraged the southerner to spread his legs apart. Slowly, reverently, the sharpshooter kissed down the southerner's back, his long hair trailing behind like little ribbons of gold and bronze across the naked skin of this lover.
Vin then stepped back, allowing Nathan an unobstructed view of Ezra's tanned round globes as he started to strip his own clothing from his body. Nathan started to withdraw to give both men privacy when he got his first look at Vin and froze. The sharpshooter was wonderfully, gloriously naked. And all Nathan could think was "Damn!" Vin's body was slender but coils of lean muscles moving and shifting under golden tanned skin made Vin look like a cougar. Slowly the sharpshooter moved forward like he was stalking his prey, which was currently waiting, looking coyly over his shoulder.
The medic watched as Vin knelt behind the southerner to remove Ezra's boots and pants so that he too was naked as the day he was born. Still kneeling, Vin reached up to cup that beautiful ass and lifted, pushing the southerner higher up over the saddle so that both Ezra's feet were off the ground. Curiously Nathan watched as Vin leaned closer to kiss each cheek in his hand before parting them, holding the southerner's hips down.
At first Nathan couldn't see what Vin was doing until Ezra started to gasp and buck beneath the Texan, pleading with the man behind him for more. He could feel his jaw dropping and hang somewhere between his knees.
Vin –
Vin was –
Rimming Ezra.
Vin slowly stood, moving upwards to cover Ezra's back like a bronze blanket. As the sharpshooter moved upwards he left behind marks showing his claim that the southerner was his. Nathan could see the gentle kisses and hear them whisper but couldn't actually make out exactly what they were saying. Nathan never saw anything as beautiful for he could see the love and commitment both men had for each other in every touch and kiss they shared.
He was happy for them.
The medic watched as Vin opened a tube and started to gently prepare Ezra for their joining which was driving the usually sedated southerner wild with passion. Nathan couldn't believe his ears as Ezra's quiet mewls and cries start to gain in volume as the sharpshooter stretched the tight opening.
Nathan withdrew from the room as Vin slowly and tenderly started to sheathe himself into Ezra's willing body. The last thing Nathan heard before closing the door was both men groan in pleasure as they were joined.
Whistling happily, Nate headed out of the barn and to his car. Taking out a pad of paper he wrote a quick note telling the boys he be back in two hours and tacked it to Chris's front door. He then hopped into his car and started his call to Rain. It would be her lunch break by the time he stopped at her favorite deli, picked up a couple of sandwiches and get to the hospital. Some romantic time was in order with his wife.
+ + + + + + +
Josiah looked up from the sermon he was preparing for Myron and Zeke's wedding. Wondering what was taking JD so long when he noticed the time. The clock told him that it had been over an hour since JD had grabbed a couple of items from his suitcase and disappeared into the bathroom.
Concerned, Josiah put the pad and pen onto the bedside table before getting up and going to the closed door. Tapping on the door with one knuckle he called softly, "JD." He paused as he tried to hear anything from the room but only the bathroom fan greeted his query. Josiah tried the door but it was locked. Now very concerned, he called a little more loudly. "JD. Are you ok in there?"
During the last couple of months, JD had wanted to prepare himself for when Josiah and him made love to one another. So he started to scan the Internet looking for information about anal and gay intercourse. The sites and chat rooms he had visited had answered many of his questions. Questions he was too embarrassed to ask Josiah or the others. It was easier to remain faceless as he was typing in his questions and having them answered.
Some of the sites had offered some helpful hints on how to go about preparing yourself for the act. One of them was the use of enemas and the other was butt plugs. At lunch on Monday, he had told the others he had to do some errands and had gone to pick up both items. He knew that he was blushing bright red as the sales clerk rang up the items but he wasn't about to chicken out of it. That night he had given himself his first enema before inserting the smallest of the plugs. It had surprised him when the plug didn't hurt like he had been expecting. It did burn for a couple of seconds then it just felt really weird and he found himself shifting around trying to get comfortable with it in him. It was only then that he realized that he never found out how long he should leave the plug in for. Determining that since it didn't hurt maybe leaving it in for the night would be the best thing.
JD went around preparing for bed and was happy that Buck had moved out or he would have been teased unmercifully at the way he had walked. Sitting and lying down had been … uncomfortable until he got used to how the plug stretched him in these new positions. The next morning when he had taken it out it felt even stranger for he felt as if something was missing from inside him. He also found he was a little sore. It had taken most of the day to feel normal again.
That night he decided to try the next sized plug but this time he didn't keep it in all night. It burned a little more going in and it took him longer to adjust to the size of it but it wasn't all that bad. Again it was just a little weird but the next morning he was fine.
Then, when Zeke had left him in the suite, JD had reinserted the one he used the night before just to get prepared for tonight's main event. He then cautiously made his way back to the bedroom before lying down for a few minutes while he adjusted to the invader. He must have been tired for JD didn't remember falling asleep. Josiah woke him up for dinner and he made a quick zip into the washroom to remove the plug before rejoining Josiah.
Dinner had been a wonderful three hours spent listening to Myron and Zeke telling him stories about Josiah and how he got them together. JD's favorite part was seeing pictures of the three men during desert storm and seeing how young they had looked back then. Myron gave JD one of the pictures he had taken of Josiah sitting shirtless with the sunset in the background.
Then they had also gone over the wedding plans and who was coming. Myron and Zeke then took them on a walking tour of the hotel and grounds. It was around nine when everyone decided to call it a night and he and Josiah had left.
Not sure if tonight will be the night, JD rushed to the bathroom as soon as they arrived back in the suite. He prepared himself as the experts told him to, so that it would be more comfortable for him and Josiah before inserting the largest butt plug he had. JD gasped at the slight burning sensation as he slowly inserted the plug into himself.
Hearing the concern in Josiah's voice he answered, "I'll be out in a minute Josiah." JD then looked at himself in the mirror and took a deep breath and told himself he could do this. He loved Josiah and Josiah loved him. He would never hurt him. Straightening his red silk robe he turned and walked to the door before he saw that he didn't put away the enema kit. Hurriedly he shoved the kit back into its box and under a towel to hide it from Josiah.
Once again he faced the door and took a big breath before opening the door and saw that Josiah had the lights off in the rest of suite except for the soft bedside lamp on his side of the bed. The other man was wearing a pair of soft cotton pajama bottoms and nothing else.
Josiah pulled the younger man towards him before wrapped his arms around JD and held the younger man close to him. Placing little kisses on his forehead. "Are you all right, Love?"
Snuggling into Josiah's broad chest, JD wrapped his arms tight around the older man. "I'm fine, Josiah. Just wanted to prepare myself for you."
Josiah grabbed JD's arms and moved back so he could look at the younger man. Concerned blue eyes scanned the younger man and demanded, "prepared yourself? JD, what do you mean?"
Blushing as red as his robe JD told Josiah his voice decreasing in volume, "Well … I … I gave myself … an … enema –"
Josiah leaded forward trying to catch what the young man was whispering the only thing he heard was plug.
Cupping the face of the blushing man, Josiah titled it up towards him. "JD. Are you wearing a … plug?"
JD blushing bright red and could not meeting Josiah's eyes as he whispered, "Yes –"
Josiah wrapped his arms around JD, holding him tight. "Oh JD … I though you would be too tired tonight and I didn't want to rush you. I'm sorry, Love. "
JD just sighed in contentment as he buried himself in Josiah's arms. "That's ok, Josiah. I understand." But as he shifted closer the plug moved and he gasped as it rubbed against something in him making him instantly hard.
Josiah heard JD gasp and felt the hard flesh teasingly caress his own softer sex, which started to slowly harden. The profiler smiled as he held his lover close as an idea came to him of how he could reward JD for being so brave.
Before JD knew it he was lifted up into Josiah's arms as the man walked back to the king sized bed before laying the smaller man down on his side of the bed. "Don't move."
Josiah went into the other room to put on some soft jazz before returning to see that JD had stayed as he had ordered. Looking like a beautifully wrapped Christmas present all for him. Moving to the bed, Josiah straddled JD's thighs as he untied the robe's belt slowly opening it to view his lover's body. Josiah smiled as he saw that JD was wearing a pair of black silk boxers as he remembered the phone call that was their first date.
Encouraging JD to sit up, Josiah helped the younger man to remove the robe before he placed it over the lamp giving the room a nice romantic glow. The profiler then urged JD to lie back down as he leaning over to whisper, "Relax love. I'm just going to make you feel good." Josiah then hungrily kissed JD.
Josiah felt JD relax into this known territory and returned his kisses just as passionately as he had received them. Using his mouth and hands, Josiah kept JD's attention focused on the pleasure he was giving him and not the fact that he was slowly pushing the boxers down to the young man's thighs.
Encouraged by JD's responses, Josiah slowly moved down to nibble and kiss the younger man's slender neck while one hand teased a dusky rose nub. Slowly Josiah moved downward leaving trails of kisses and tiny little marks of his claim on JD. Reaching the first little nub that his fingers had hardened, he noticed that it looked like a perfect little raspberry and he just loved raspberries.
JD arched off the bed as Josiah mouth chewed and sucked on his nipple and remembered their first time in the barn. Up to that point no one had really played with them until Josiah did that first time. That first time was like lightening shooting from his chest straight to his hard erection and this time was just like the last.
Josiah sucked on the tempting nub all the harder, enjoying hearing JD's passionate groans. Knowing that JD attention was fully engaged he pushed the boxers down far enough so that he could use his feet to pull them off the other man. Slowly he moved over to the other neglected bud so that he could lavished the same attention on it as he did its twin.
Using one hand he gently stroked JD's flank, getting the other man used to being touched there by another man. Once the muscles stopped twitching at every stroke he slipped his hand down and under the knee encouraging JD to bend the leg. He then shifted so he could use the same procedure on the other until he was cradled between JD's spread thighs.
Only then did Josiah move southward down the flat, trim stomach to the small indent just begging to be pleasured. He made a quick note that JD was an inny and started to suck on the indent before flickering his tongue in the small hole.
JD arched his back as he reached down to hold Josiah's head right where it was, enjoying the pleasure that the other man was giving him. He never felt anything like it in his life. Hell, he never knew the pleasures his bellybutton could give him. It was like a single nerve ending tying his bellybutton to his hard shaft.
Josiah winced slightly as JD gripped his hair tightly but it was worth hearing the younger man's guttural cries and whimpers as his body twisted and bucked beneath him. Now it was time to give JD his reward by slipping his hand back and under his body, his fingertips brushing the toy embedded in his lover. Gently he pushed against the toy and heard JD whimper as it brushed against the other man's prostrate. Encouraged by the action Josiah started to stimulate his lover by pushing the toy into him.
It was like nothing JD ever felt before — it was like lighting, a flash of heat that raced through his body and he was lost on a plane of pure pleasure.
Josiah felt the loosening of JD's grip and slowly moved onto his main objective. JD's hard and leaking erection.
At first the older man just nuzzled his lover's sacks and hard flesh before licking and sucking on spots as he kissed his way up the underside of JD's hard shaft.
JD screamed and arched off the bed as his erection was sucked into a warm wet place that just engulfed him. With all the stimulation and pleasure he received at the hands of his lover, JD climaxed.
Josiah felt the hard flesh in his mouth start to twitch and knew that JD was about to come. This had the profiler applying more sucking pressure to the straining flesh he was sucking on as he ruthlessly drove JD over the edge, drinking down every last drop of the other man's essence. JD tasted like the sweetest wine and Josiah knew that he would soon become addicted to it. Moving upwards he took his lover's mouth in a gentle kiss, allowing JD to taste himself in his mouth.
Josiah then rolled to the side before pulling JD up into his arms and holding the other man close. The profiler gently caressed his lover's body until JD slowly started to relax into his arms. Soothing he told JD, "Sleep, Love."
JD just snuggled down onto his big teddy bear and fell off to sleep feeling safe and satisfied.
Josiah waited for a half hour until he knew that JD was sound asleep to roll him gently onto his other side. With care he spread the sleeping man's cheeks to see the beige toy nestled snuggly. Being careful so that he wouldn't wake JD, Josiah gently removed it before tenderly massaging the little muscle until it resumed it's normal shape. The profiler then went to the bathroom and carefully washed the toy before going back to bedroom. He picked up JD's robe from the lamp and laid it on one of the chairs in the room before he turned off the light and crawled under the sheets next to his love. Snuggling up to the sleeping man Josiah wrapped his arm around the other man before placed a chaste kiss on the top of JD's head.

The next morning, after cuddling in bed Josiah and JD made their way down to the main restaurant to have breakfast before doing a little hiking around the lake. They returned in time for lunch then split up for the rest of the day. Josiah wanted to spend some time writing his sermon while JD helped Myron with the final touches to the wedding.
The room was empty by the time JD returned but Josiah had left a note saying that he had a couple of errands to run but he would be back around six. Seeing that he had a couple of hours to kill JD decided to go for a swim. Changing, he made his way to the large pool at the back of the hotel, which seemed to be deserted with most of the people preferring the lake for swimming. Putting his stuff down on a lounge he kicked off his sandals before diving into the deep in of the pool to start his laps.
JD didn't notice a man that was watching him intently.
Charles de Corte had seen the young man arrive yesterday with his older companion and had jumped to the wrong conclusion. What he saw was an older, well-dressed man being warmly greeted by the owners of the hotel before one of the owners escorted the younger man away while the other led him into one of the banquet rooms. This told him that the other man was like himself.
A man of power and money. Money and power he had gained by being one of the major players in the world of electronic games, which allowed him to indulge in collecting beautiful things.
It was the younger man's beauty that had caught and held Charles' attention. From the black longish hair, creamy skin, dark eyes and beautiful face to the lean body and long legs attached to a perfectly round ass.
Not believing in love, Charles figured that the older and wealthier man was keeping the younger man and he wanted the boy for himself. And what Charles de Corte wants he gets.
Charles waited till JD had climbed out of the pool and was sunning himself on his chair before signaling for a waiter to come to him. Quickly he wrote a note and handed it over to the waiter to be delivered to the young man sunning himself. He sat back to wait and to run his eyes hungrily over the younger man's form, liking what he saw.
JD could feel that someone was watching the whole time he was swimming and now it was even worse. Relying on his experience as an agent he scanned the crowd behind his dark glasses, seeking his watcher. Casually turning his head slightly to the right he scanned the crowd around the bar before finally finding his watcher.
Quickly JD noted the man appearance. Somewhere in his late fifties, early sixties, salt and pepper hair, expensive clothing, and looked to be in pretty good shape for a man his age. Quickly, he went back through all their cases searching to see if he knew this man from anywhere.
It was then the waiter arrived with the note telling him it was the man that he had identified as his watcher. Opening the folded piece of paper he read the note.
I believe we have something in common and I would like to meet with you to discuss it.
Wondering if maybe he had stumbled upon something, JD decided to play this like Ezra would. He asked the waiter to give the gentlemen his invitation to join him.
JD watched as the man walked towards him and something about the man seemed familiar but from where he wasn't sure. Lifting his sunglasses, JD smiled and shook the man's hand at their introductions. The ATF agent waited as Charles sat down in the chair the waiter had retrieved for him.
Charles settled back into his chair, enjoying a close up inspection of the young man he had been admiring from afar. He was disappointed to see that the swimming trunks had dried enough that they didn't mold themselves to the young man's form but still the view was wonderful.
"Mr. De Corte –"
"Charles, please."
"Charles … your note said we have something in common and you wished to discuss it with me?" JD didn't like how the man looked him over, for he felt like a slab of meat that was on display. But he still wasn't quite sure what the man was about.
"Yes. I saw you arrive yesterday with your companion and though maybe we could reached an understanding between the two of us."
Now extremely suspicious of the man and his motives, JD asked, "An understanding?"
"Yes. A young man of your –" Charles paused as raked his eyes up and down JD's body before continuing, "talents might be interested in a change. A change well worth your while."
JD narrowed his eyes, anger hidden behind his sunglasses. Was the man suggesting that he –
That Josiah is his –
Keeping his temper under control just in case this wasn't a pickup, JD mildly asked, "A change?"
Thinking that he had the young man interested, he started to grin. "Yes. I could provide you with far more than you present companion can. And give you a very generous settlement when our association is over with."
Seeing the man leer at him, JD calmly swung his legs to the side of the lounge. Keeping his voice low he growled angrily at the other man. "Listen, Mister!" JD paused as he leaned forward making the other man shift back as he snarled, "I'm not a whore! Nor am I Josiah's kept boy!" The agent stood so that he could lean over the other man not noticing that he had gained an audience as he told the man. "And you can take your proposal and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine." JD then gathered his things and left the man behind looking like a stranded fish.

Travis called and apologized to Larabee, but he had to have the men of Team Seven come in for a couple of hours. The DA needed all reports and information the team had put together concerning the Thompson case that was going to trial next week.
As they gathered around for the drive in the four men discussed the medic's strange behavior yesterday after he returned from seeing his wife. It wasn't that he was mean or anything … matter of fact it was the opposite. It was like he was teasing … no … more like he was giving his consent about something that concerned Vin and Ezra but none of them could figure it out what it was.
Arriving at work, the men rolled up their sleeves and started to gather the reports and files together. Everything seemed to be back to normal, but every once in a while the men would catch Nathan watching Vin and Ezra with a happy light in his eyes as he looked between the two men. The foursome, not knowing what to make of it, just shrugged it off as a Nathan thing.
It took them about four hours to gather everything together for the DA which Buck and Vin were busily delivering to Travis when Nathan came across some files that had been misfiled. Picking them up, he headed towards the filing room as he heard Chris calling Ezra into his office. Nathan paused and smiled as he heard the two men laughing. It was nice to see how close friends the men had become after such a rocky start. Continuing on he entered the room and started to put the files away only to find more misfiled files. Pulling them out, he placed them on the floor so he could sort them before putting them properly away.
Fifteen minutes later he was sitting on the floor sorting though the files when he heard the door open and shut. Nate knew that whoever entered wouldn't have seen him because of the evidence rake that divided the room and was about to call out when he heard a low sensual laugh, "Bucklin … someone might catch us."
Vin?
Buck?
What are they doing?
Nathan got to his knees to see what the two men were up to and froze. Buck had his arms around the sharpshooter's waist pulling the other man closer as he said, "Now Darlin' trust ole Buck. No one will know."
The medic's mouth dropped open as he watched Buck take Vin's mouth in a hot, hungry kiss, which looked like it was returned by Vin.
What the hell!?
Nathan could only watch in shock as Buck maneuvered Vin toward the high table along the wall. Passionately both men's hand traveled over each other's bodies, grabbing and clenching the other close as heated moans reached the medic's ears.
The table they were heading towards was only about 3 feet wide but stood about 4 feet high which would allow an agent to stand as he shifted through boxes and files. The scoundrel lifted the sharpshooter up onto it before moving between the spread legs.
From where he was kneeling Nathan couldn't see very much but when he saw Buck bend slightly over and heard Vin's groan it broke through his shock.
The bastards were cheating on their partners!
Outraged, Nathan didn't remember getting off the floor and pushing the two men apart. Rounding on them he started to yell at them while hitting them with the files he still had in his hand.
"You bastards!"
Smack!
"Hey!"
Whack!
"Nate! Ouch! That hurt!"
Smack!
"How could you do this!"
Whack! Whack!
The two men tried to duck out the medic's furious smacks with the files as they try to explain but the man wasn't allowing them to.
Tired, Nathan stopped hitting them but the fire in the other man's eyes kept both Buck and Vin quiet. "This better end and end now!" Nate snarled. "I won't let you hurt either Chris or Ezra — both of them deserved better than what you are doing to them." He then started to poke Buck in the chest with his finger. "You … you … How could you do this to Chris? I though you loved him." The medic then turned onto the sharpshooter, "And you. I saw you and Ezra in the barn yesterday and here you are with Buck. You should be ashamed of yourself."
The two lovers were in shock and could only stand there with open mouths allowing Nathan to rip into them for a few moments more before the man started out of the room. As the medic yanked open the door he paused and told them both, "If you end this now I won't tell either of them, but if I see you two so much as smile at each other I'll make sure they know. They both deserve better than you two bastards." With that Nate slammed the door shut as he stormed off.
The two lovers looked at each other almost asking ‘What the hell just happen here?' before Vin started to snicker. This started Buck smiling, then he joined the other man as they laughed.
Now it made sense to Vin. Nathan had caught him and Ezra in the tack room the day before. He was trying to let them know that he knew and was ok with it. The sharpshooter quickly sobered when he realized that Nathan now he thought that he and Bucklin were cheating on their mates.
Jumping down, Vin stuffed himself back into his jeans and grinned at his lover. "Come on Bucklin, we got to go and tell Chris and Ezra before Nathan catches them in Larabee's office."
A hungry gleam appeared in the scoundrel's eyes as he wiggled his eyebrows at his lover. "Maybe we can help them out there."
Shaking his head, Vin opened the door and headed towards Larabee's office just in time to see Nathan stepping into the elevator still muttering under his breath. "Maybe later, but right now I think Chris should know what happened."
Hearing Vin's worried tone Buck sobered. "Do you think Nate could cause trouble?"
The sharpshooter paused a moment before shaking his head. "I don't think so. He seemed to be all right with you and Chris as a couple. And Ezra and me as one. I think he might need time but I hope he accepts the four of us."

Myron had seen and heard JD storming away from the man and guessed what happened. He snagged the angry young man and escorted him into his office before closing the door.
JD was pacing angrily back and forth as he continued to mutter and move his arms around. Myron sat down and waited for the young man to calm down. It took fifteen minutes but with a depressed sigh, JD sat down looking at the floor of the office. "He thought I was a whore, Myron."
"He's a jerk, JD. Don't let this bother you."
JD looked up. "Why? Why did he think that?" The younger man paused, searching his friend's face. "Is it because I'm with Josiah?"
Leaning forward Myron patted JD's leg, trying to give the other man some comfort. "JD, I'm not going to lie to you but that's probably the reason." The older man held up his hand to stop the ATF agent from speaking. "Look, JD. I had the same thing happen to me when Zeke and I got together. Heck it was worse. We were off base in Germany where we were stationed after the Gulf War. This was before the wall came down. Anyway, Zeke and I were having a drink when two German soldiers came up and offered me two hundred dollars to come with them."
JD's eyes widened as he imagine Zeke's reaction to that. "They didn't?"
Myron leaned back and grinned as he remembered. "Zeke gave one of them a black eye and the other a broken nose. Thank God I got him out of there so fast or we would have both been in trouble." Myron sobered though as he told JD, "But at the time it almost tore us apart. Zeke thought he was too old for me. That I deserved someone younger and more cultured, as he put it, but I wasn't having any of it and I let him know that too!" The older man took the younger man's hand in his hand, as Myron looked him in the eye. "JD, I hate to say this but that jerk out there won't be the only one who thinks you are only after Josiah for his money or that Josiah is taking advantage of you. If you love Josiah you can't let those people bother you or him." Myron then withdrew his hand as he stood up, never breaking eye contact with the younger man. "If it does maybe you should end it."
+ + + + + + +
Zeke and Josiah were coming up the steps to the pool area when they saw JD and the other man. Sensing what was happening Zeke grabbed Josiah's arm and pulled him away just as JD stormed off.
Josiah rounded on his old friend, anger coming out of every pore. "Why did you stop me? That man needed a little bit of the Old Testament visited on him."
Zeke just snorted. "Because your young man was doing pretty good all by himself."
That had Josiah pausing as he replayed the scene in his mind and he started to grin. "He was wasn't he?"
Zeke grinned as he told his friend, "You have a real spitfire there, Josiah." His grin then disappeared as he said, "Josiah, this won't be the first time nor last time something like this will happen. How are you going to handle it?"
Josiah nodded his head as he start to pace. "I don't know, Zeke." The profiler then looked at his friend and asked, "How did you handle it?"
A sheepish grin crossed the other man's face as he ran his hands through his hair. "Wellll … not very well at first. I decked the first two for offering me $200.00 for Myron. I just lost it and started fights with any guy that just looked at him wrong. Myron just had enough of it and told me that if I kept this up I would lose him." Pain filled blue eyes met Josiah's. "I would die if I lost him so I had to stop myself. It didn't stop others from making a comment but Myron took care of it. He didn't want me to fight his battles for him but to guard his back and love him. Do you think you can do that, Josiah?"
Josiah ran his hands through his hair before cupping the back of his neck as he looked up into the cloudless blue sky. Thinking about what Zeke told him and wondering if he could do it. But as he thought about it he realized that it wasn't any different than when they worked on a case together. They were partners.

Buck followed behind Vin as the other man headed to Chris's office. The Texan paused at the closed door before knocking. "Chris, it Buck and me." Chris's friendly voice floated in from behind the door, "Come."
Vin saw the satisfied smile on Chris's face as he leaned back in his chair and knew from that expression that the blonde had somehow out maneuvered the southerner. Ezra paused in his study of the game board to give them a friendly smile before turning his full attention to the chess board between him and Chris.
Chris frowned as he took in the expressions on both of his lovers' faces as both men came in and closed the door behind them. Both men refused to meet his eyes, which had him getting up to go to them to and grasping one bicep of each man. "Buck, Vin … what happened?"
"Well cowboy –"
"Chris –"
Buck and Vin paused to look at each other, which had the sharpshooter telling the scoundrel, "Bucklin, you tell him."
Chris turned his full attention onto the scoundrel who was rubbing the back of head, looking kind of sheepish. Ezra quietly joined the three men, knowing something had gone wrong to have both men looking uneasy.
Impatiently Chris demanded, "Buck!"
"Well it's like this ol' dog. Me and Vin went and delivered those papers up to Travis like you told us to. Well, we came back down to find the place deserted and heard you and Ezra laughing in here and Nathan was gone. Well – "
Steely blue-green eyes waited but when Buck didn't speak prompted, "Well what?"
"I grabbed Vin and dragged him into the filing room figuring that the two of us needed a little loving, but –"
Keeping his voice firm Chris asked, "But what?"
"Nathan was in there doing something and he saw us."
"He WHAT?!"
Vin stepped in, "He thought we were cheating on you two." The sharpshooter paused as he turned to the southerner. "Ezra, Nate saw us in the barn yesterday. That was what he was trying to hint that he approved of us, but when he saw me and Bucklin … Weelll … he though me and Buck were cheating on you two."
"He told us to end it or he would tell both of you."
"Shit!" The blonde started to pace back and forth as he ran his hand through his hair. Buck and Vin sat down on the sofa waiting till Mount Larabee exploded.
Ezra stepped into Chris's path forcing the other man to stop and look at him. "Chris, maybe this will be a good time to tell Nathan about the four of us. It's only fair since both JD and Josiah know. From what Vin said he was very accepting of the two of us and he did take it well when you and Buck came out. Give him a chance. "
Blue green eyes searched Ezra's face as Chris sighed. "You're right, Ezra. It's not right keeping Nate in the dark. I'll give him a call and see if he can come out to the ranch tonight."
"Chris." Vin paused as he waited for the blonde to turn towards him. "Maybe tomorrow will be better. Remember he and Rain are going to go and see Cher's farewell tour tonight."
"Damn! I forgot about that!"
Take a deep breath Buck volunteered, "Why not invite him out for dinner tomorrow since Rain is working the late shift at the hospital?
Ezra titled his head as he though about it. "That might be better. Let our Medic's temper cool and give us time to come up with the best way of telling our friend about us."

JD entered the room to find the scent of cinnamon and lavender caressing his senses as the soft glow from dozens of candles gave the room the seductive ambiance that was so much like his lover. Soft classical music played in the background as strong arms encircled his waist from behind, gently herding him into the room.
The smaller man turned in Josiah's arms to wrap his own around the bigger man's neck, looking up with shiny eyes. Neither man spoke instead allowing their souls and hearts to do all the speaking as Josiah slowly waltzed them around the room to the soft beat. It ended at the foot of the bed where Josiah tenderly cradled JD against him as he lovingly started to kiss the other man.
With reverence the profiler stripped JD of his clothing before sweeping him up into his arms. Tender kisses were exchanged as Josiah carried the other man into the bathroom where he slowly lowered JD into the warm lavender-scented water. Straightening, Josiah removed his clothing leaving on only a pair of simple black silk boxers before sitting beside the tub. Reaching over to the small table he picked up two wine glasses handing one to JD as he raised his.
Looking into the other man's eyes he started to speak. "John I was wondering what I was going to say to you at this moment and I decided to let my heart speak for me. My heart whispers your name at each heart beat, you image follows me into the world of dreams making me wish to remain asleep but when I wake I'm greeted by the reality that you are here in my arms. That you return my love. I am the luckiest man alive having you at my side to look into your dark eyes and see your love for me reflected there. You kisses warm me and you arms hold me safe. You are my friend, my brother, my lover, my everything. John simply saying I love you is not enough but those simple words are all that I can give you along with my heart and soul."
Slowly the two men sipped from the sweet wine before Josiah leaned in to steal a kiss. He then sat his glass down before picking up a small dish of fruit, dipping them in chocolate before feeding them to his lover. Every once in a while Josiah would lean in to taste the fruit, chocolate, and wine from JD's mouth before resuming feeding him once again.
The two men took their time confirming their love for one another as they drank in the other's presence, wondering at how perfect and wonderful this moment was for both of them. How right it was between the two of them.
Once the fruit was done, Josiah took the wine glass from JD; kneeling, he tenderly washed his lover's body not trying to arouse but to convey the love he felt for this young man that had stolen his heart and soul leaving his in exchange.
He stood and helped JD from the tub before drying him with gentle and loving hands. Josiah swept JD into his arms as he moved them both towards the bed where he lay his lover down in the middle of it. Among the white satin and red rose petals.
Josiah straddled the smaller man's thighs as he leaned over to dip his hand in the warmed oil that sat by the bed. Gently he started to massage JD, trying to relax the young man who was understandably nervous about this step they were taking. Slowly the larger man worked downwards from JD's neck down to his feet, giving each muscle grouping a thorough massage except for the smaller man's slowly rising flesh.
The profiler encouraged JD to roll over onto his stomach as Josiah started to work upwards. As he got to the smaller man's beautifully formed ass he shifted upwards to work on JD's shoulders and back. Josiah moved slowly downwards as he felt the muscles in the younger man's shoulder and back start to relax until he was brushing the slope of JD's creamy cheeks.
Slowly Josiah started to caress and knead JD's ass, getting him familiar with him touching him there. When the smaller man started to groan and thrust against the bed Josiah leaned over and whispered seductively into JD's ear, "Are you ready for more love?"
JD groaned as he replied, "Yes."
Nibbling on the smaller man's neck and ear Josiah reached for the oil dish before moving back to start to dribble the oil along JD's crack line. The younger man groaned as he rubbed his face against the satin sheets, encouraging Josiah to continue. Setting the oil down Josiah spread those wondrous globes to expose JD's entrance to his sight, only to feel the smaller man jerk slightly as the air touched him.
Slipping a single finger between JD's cheeks, Josiah started to massage the little opening as he leaned over his lover. "It this alright, little love."
Josiah smiled and started to nuzzle around the back of JD's neck as the smaller man groaned his pleasure. "Do you want me to continue?"
JD's only answer was a silent nod as his hips started to rock backwards onto the finger that was stroking him so intimately. Slowly Josiah started to apply pressure to the little rose bud teasing it to allow it entrance. When just the tip slipped in JD froze for a second before slowly resume his rocking.
Purring, Josiah whispered into his lover's ear. "How does it feel, JD?"
"Goooodddd … it … feels … good."
"Any pain, Love?"
"No … no."
Continuing to kiss and nibble around JD's neck and back, Josiah slipped his finger in more slowly stroking in and out of the tight, hot opening. He chuckled softly as JD started to thrust back onto his finger forcing it deeper inside. Withdrawing slightly he worked a second finger into the virgin opening, only to freeze at the grunt of pain.
As Josiah started to withdraw the second finger a commanding "No!" stopped him. Then a softer tone came from his panting lover. "No … it's ok ... more." The smaller man rock backwards taking Josiah's fingers in deeper.
Loving, encouraging words were whispered huskily into JD's ear as Josiah softly caressed the smaller man trying to build the flames of passion in his lover. Finally Josiah felt the little nub that told him that he hit JD's prostrate gland. Tenderly he started to caress the spot as JD bucked and cried out in passion. The smaller man twisted and turned beneath Josiah's heavier form, forcing the bigger man to hang on tightly or be thrown off.
Unnoticed by JD, Josiah had slipped in a third finger that was stretching the virgin muscle wide preparing him for his lover's invasion. Nibbling on JD's ear Josiah thrust his finger deep in the smaller man's body as he whispered, "Are you ready, Love?"
JD rocked back on those fingers that filled him, wanting more. Wanting his lover deep within him. Groaning in passion, JD begged, "Yeeeesssss … more … need … need you."
Josiah withdrew his fingers from the warmth and tightness of JD's body as he told his lover. "Sit up, Love." He then moved to settle himself against the headboard before encouraging JD to straddle his thighs. Quickly Josiah opened a condom wrapper and started to slide it down on this hard flesh when JD's hands pushed his away. At the first touch of those teasing hands Josiah found himself groaning in pleasure.
Wanting more, Josiah took his mate in his arms before hungrily devouring the smaller man's mouth. JD willingly opened his mouth, welcoming Josiah home as he remapped known territory. Feeling the little chip in a back molar, the result of a teenage accident, the so sensitive pallet that had JD moaning as he stroked it with his tongue. Slowly Josiah started to suck on JD's tongue making the younger man thrust against him.
JD went wild at the sensations his lover was giving him and clutched the older man to him. It was almost like he was trying to crawl inside his lover. Groaning and mewling with need the young man rubbed himself against Josiah needing more.
Blindly Josiah's hand reached out searching for the lube that he knew was close. Finding it he popped the top open, coating his hand with the thick, sticky liquid. Stroking his lover with one hand he quickly coated the rubber with the lotion before once more seeking the entrance of his lover's body.
JD yanked his mouth away from Josiah's as he hissed as the cold, slick fingers breached him once again. Josiah pet and caressed his lover with one hand, trying to soothe the younger man as the other thrust into and stretched JD's entrance.
Josiah peppered the younger man's neck and face with loving kisses as he withdrew his fingers before directing JD into position. Allowing the younger man to proceed at his own pace.
Knowing this was the moment that he had been waiting for, JD placed his hands on Josiah's shoulders for leverage before slowly lowering himself onto his lover's thick, hard rod. Josiah's warm hands grasped his waist to help him to balance him but also to prevent JD from hurting himself by moving too fast.
Slowly, JD started to lower himself, brown and blue eyes never parting as the virgin entrance gave ground to the thick, hard invader. JD gasped and bit his lip as the head broke through causing a sharp, hard pain to flash through his body. He steeled himself from pulling away, knowing that the pain would soon leave.
Josiah pulled the young man towards him, holding him in strong arms as he whispered words of love and encouragement. Only releasing him as JD pulled back to slowly slide down another inch.
Josiah kept a firm grip on his young lover but couldn't help groaning. "Oh … God love … you feel so gooooddd!"
JD smiled a shaky grin as he panted, "This … this is harder … than … I … I thought."
Josiah was torn between a groan and laughter at his mate but took it as a good sign that his lover's questionable sense of humor was showing up at this particular time. "Gooooddd JD! Don't make me laugh."
JD bent to rest his head onto Josiah as he slowly started to rock back and forth on to the hard rod that was slowly sinking within him. To join him forever with the one that he loved most in the world. As he touched bottom, JD sat back getting used to having Josiah within him. Stretching and filling him with love. Locking gazes with his lover JD told him, "Love … you … Josiah."
Josiah gently caressed the face of his mate … his friend … his lover. Tears of joy slowly fell from Josiah's eyes as he saw the love and trust in JD's. "I love you, JD. God, I love you."
JD bent forward to gently lick the tears from his lover's eyes before their lips sealed in a kiss. Pulling back, the younger man started to rock back and forth slowly at first but built up to be harder and faster as the two men groaned and cried out their passion as the sensations that flooded their bodies.
Josiah grasped JD's waist to hold him down as he pushed the other man back so he was on his back. Hooking his lover's legs over his forearms Josiah slowly lifted and bent the other man backwards until JD was almost double. Slowly the profiler slid deeply in and out of JD's hot, tight depths making the other man cry out and demand, "Faster! … ohhh gooodddd ... Faster … Josiah … pppplllleeeeasseee."
Panting as Josiah continued the pace he had set as he told his lover. "Ssshhhuuussshhh love. Let me … make it … good … for you."
JD continued to thrust to meet him as he clasped his lover against himself, dragging nails up Josiah's straining back before digging into his lover's shoulders. "Moooorrreee … God Josiah … more!"
The profiler could tell his lover was about to come and picked up the pace, hitting JD's prostrate with each thrust. Moments later the smaller man reached his climax, bringing the large man with him.
Both men cried out their passion as each called the other's name before collapsing in exhaustion. At the last moment Josiah rolled onto his back bring his lover with him so that JD laid straddled on him. The bigger man bent his knees, which allowed Josiah's deflated sex to remain inside of JD until the smaller man's body worked him out of it. Tenderly Josiah held his lover as he caressed his lover's back is a soothing motion.
Placing a kiss on the smaller man's head Josiah whispered, "I love you, JD."
JD turned and placed a single kiss in the hollow of Josiah's shoulder. "I love you, Josiah."

Nathan had spent most of Cher's farewell concert trying to decide what to do instead of enjoying the music – not that he'd really wanted to go to the concert in the first place, but Rain had wanted to and had gotten the tickets so they went. He'd thought about telling Chris and Ezra what he'd seen, but he knew that the betrayal would devastate the two men. On the other hand, if Chris and Ezra found out on their own and then found out he'd known…Nathan shuddered at the thought. They would hate him for keeping the secret and that would be the end of their friendship. Either way he would lose and the team would be torn apart, spelling the end of their unique family.
The only solution for this whole mess was for Vin and Buck to stop their affair and pray that by some miracle it never came to light. But Nathan didn't think that was going to happen.
He never would have thought either man would cheat on their lovers, and he felt both disappointed and betrayed. Nathan wasn't sure if he could continue to work with them any more. If they would cheat on the men they loved, who else would they betray?
He still wasn't sure what he was going to do. And then when Chris had called asking him to come out to the ranch…well, Nathan had to wonder if the secret was already out.
The weather had turned, and by the time he got to the ranch it was raining hard. Chris opened the door before Nathan could ring the bell and bustled him inside out of the wet, taking his coat and hanging it up in the hall. Nathan nervously followed him into the den, and was surprised to see Ezra and Vin snuggled up together in one corner of the couch and Buck sitting on its arm with his hand on Vin's shoulder. The medic couldn't help but give the sharpshooter and the scoundrel a dirty look, but then Chris walked over and slipped his arm around Buck's waist instead of taking his usual seat and Nathan got nervous all over again. Something was up. He sat down on the edge of the leather chair Chris usually claimed. "What's going on?"
Chris placed his hand on Ezra's shoulder, and the undercover agent reached up to grasp it. The team leader took a deep breath and looked Nathan right in the eye. "Nathan, Vin and Buck told Ezra and myself that you caught them making out in the filing room."
Nathan sat up a little straighter and nodded, surprised. He hadn't thought the two men would tell their lovers about the affair, but they obviously had and he found himself grudgingly respecting their honesty. Although he had to wonder if they would have told if he hadn't caught them. "Yeah, I saw them…together. Cheating on you and Ezra."
Chris' green-blue eyes stayed locked on his. "What if I told you that they weren't cheating?"
The medic found himself speechless with shock. He could tell his mouth moving but nothing was coming out as he tried to process what Chris was telling him.
That the four of them…the four of them were … what? Swapping partners?
Ezra's cultured voice broke through the haze as the Southerner, apparently reading his mind, told him, "We are not swapping partners. The four of us are in a relationship together, we love each other."
Nathan's eyes narrowed. "That's not love, Ezra, and you know it; love is something special between two people. More than that…it's not normal."
The undercover agent just looked at him. "It is normal for us. And it most certainly is love."
He turned his head to drop a kiss on the back of Chris' hand, and that did it for the medic; Nathan stood up and glared at the four men. "No! This isn't love. I don't know what you have, but I know what it's not and it's not love. How long has this been going on?!"
Buck tensed defensively and stood up. "We asked Ezra to join us about eight months ago and then Vin two months after that."
Nathan snorted and turned his accusing gaze back to the Southerner. "So you couldn't leave the two of them alone, is that it? You wanted to be part of the action so you started acting like a bitch in heat to get their attention?"
Ezra's face paled, and Vin wrapped his arms around the smaller man protectively, murmuring something in his ear. Chris stopped Buck from lunging at the medic, but he looked equally angry. "Jackson, that was uncalled for!" he growled. "Apologize!"
"No! If the shoe fits…"
Buck shook off Chris' hold and stepped around the arm of the couch to stand between the raging medic and his lovers. "Actually it was Chris and me that seduced both Ezra and Vin. We loved and wanted them so we took them."
"Oh, so you and Chris wanted them," Nathan sneered. "As what, a couple of fuck toys?"
That brought Vin halfway off the sofa. "You bastard!" The Texan didn't get far, though, with Chris holding onto his shoulders and Ezra's arm wrapped around his waist. "What the hell is the matter with you, anyway?"
Buck moved into the medic's personal space, seeing red. "Jackson, you'd best shut up or I will shut you up."
Nathan took a step back from the menace in the other man's voice, but he still laughed derisively. "Oh, don't like the truth, do you? Just admit it, neither of you wanted to bottom so you got hold of that little Southern slut over there so you could feel like real men instead of a couple of fags, and when he wasn't enough you dragged Vin into it too ‘cause he's too dumb to know any better!"
It was one insult too many. Buck's hard left cross knocked the medic back into the leather chair with enough force to almost tip it over. The scoundrel's eyes were flashing with pure rage. "Get the fuck out of our home! Now!"
"Gladly!" Nathan snarled back, dragging himself up off the chair and rubbing his jaw. "But you just wait until Josiah and JD get back and I tell them what the four of you are doing out here!"
Buck gave a harsh bark of laughter, but his voice was cold. "And what makes you think Josiah and JD will agree with you?"
"When they find out –"
Leaving Vin to Ezra, Chris moved to stand beside Buck, looming over the medic. "They already know and they accepted us…just like we accepted them."
Nathan's eyes widened in shock, and so did Larabee's as he realized that he just had outted Josiah and JD to the angry medic. Nathan backed away from them, realizing it too. Josiah was…all that time JD had been spending with…JD and Josiah were…
Suddenly Nathan had only one thing on his mind: he had to get the hell out of this house, away from these people he'd thought he knew. Pushing past Chris he raced for the front door, and reaching it paused only long enough to grab his coat and yell, "I QUIT!" over his shoulder before slamming out of the house.
The four angry men watched him leave from the living room window, shocked beyond belief. Chris' jaw was clenched so tight it looked ready to snap. "Well, that went fucking great!"
"I can't believe he…" Buck trailed off, pulling Vin close to him. "Dammit, I can't believe he said…that stuff."
"It was certainly…unexpected." Ezra put a shaking hand on Chris' arm, looking up into his eyes. "Chris, we have to tell Josiah and JD."
The blond sighed and nodded, giving the Southerner a one-armed hug as he pulled his cell phone off his belt. "You're right, Ezra. They need to know what's happened." He dialed Josiah's cell phone, hoping he wasn't interrupting anything, and after the sixth ring the profiler answered. Chris didn't bother with a greeting. "Josiah, we have a problem."
