Warning: Well it's M/M--which shouldn't come as a surprise.

Notes: Well we've been having a discussion lately about different pairings, and here's one of my contributions. There are 3 people involved here, but it might not be what you think!! Special thanks go to the ever patient Judy for great beta-ing, and to my sister, Shari for 'gently' nudging me along with threats of beatings with 'wet noodles'!! Thank her for the fact this story got done at all, and if y'all hate it, well, blame me.but constructively please ?

"Aw, c'mon Buck! I know how to talk to Casey, and I sure don't need any 'love lessons'." JD was practically sputtering, he was so embarrassed.

Vin jerked awake at the loud voice, but true to his instincts he kept quiet and still until he identified what it was that had awakened him in the first place. A quick perusal of the saloon showed that he and JD and Buck were the only people still in it, though the last two were making enough noise for a whole crowd. Vin was about to get up and leave, when he took a closer look at the proceedings. Buck had JD in what could only be called a 'clinch ' and was giving him directions on how to go about seducing and undressing a woman. Apparently Buck had decided that his pupil needed a practical demonstration, and had JD's clothes partially open and JD draped backwards over a table. If the physical display wasn't enough of a clue, Buck's verbal instructions certainly let one know exactly what it was he was talking about.

"Now JD, I'm just tryin to help you out here...a woman needs to know how you feel about her. She likes for you to take charge. You gotta go slow and easy--don't want to startle her now. Just run your hand gently along all that soft, smooth skin...like down on a thistle . " Buck demonstrated his point by running his long hand slowly down JD's chest, causing the young man to jump in reaction. "Ya gotta kiss her soft and sweetly, show her that you respect her feelings, show her you can be gentle."

"Buck!!" JD practically squawked, as he wriggled madly trying to get away from the talented hands. "I ain't no woman, and you shouldn't be touching me like this...let go!"

"Now stop yer wrigglin there boy, I'm only trying to help you out here. Who else is gonna do this for you?" Buck was at his most persuasive, but his talents were apparently being wasted on his young protégé. "Ya gotta look deeply into her eyes, show her how sincere you are..."

"Buck! I am sincere, and she knows that! All that moonin about is only gonna make her laugh at me!" JD still couldn't believe he'd managed to get into this situation in the first place. Leave it to Buck to offer help-- where it wasn't needed.

"Well, has all your being sincere even gotten you a little kiss, hmm? Did she let you touch those soft, sweet lips and... "

"Buck, I told you, I'm doin just fine without your help!" JD managed to roll himself off the table and out of Buck's grip. He stood and tried to do up his shirt and vest buttons. <Damn, but that Buck worked fast!>

Vin had been totally silent and still throughout this, trying to figure out a way to get out of the room without anyone seeing him, but then he began to listen to Buck's voice and watch his actions. He was beginning to see why all the ladies fell for the man...he certainly was persuasive and charming, and he honestly seemed to care. Though apparently his 'student' wasn't so convinced of his appeal. Vin managed not to laugh out loud at the antics of the two--better than any jokes he had heard. The really funny part was that both men were obviously serious about what they felt: Buck was positive that JD needed his expertise with women to woo his girl, while JD figured that he knew what was best for him and Casey. The sharpshooter just shook his head silently, wishing they would leave or something so that he could slip out without them realizing that they'd been overheard. While he thought that Buck wouldn't really care one way or another, he figured that JD would be mortified to know that someone had seen him in that position.

Buck reached for JD again, "Now JD, you know I'm just trying to help ya here. Why won't ya let ole Buck give you the benefit of my experience?" Buck was truly puzzled, he knew he was good with women, why wouldn't JD just accept his help? JD had quickly jumped back out of the taller man's reach.

"Buck, I know you want to help, but I don't need it this time. Just let me do this my way for a change", and with that, he turned and darted out the door before Buck could stop him. Wilmington stood there shaking his head in disappointment, when he heard a soft snort from the far corner of the saloon. He quickly whirled around and spotted Vin Tanner trying to cover his laughter with his hand.

"Vin! How long you been there?" Buck was a little flustered, but more startled than anything. After all, he was a man who was usually aware of his surroundings, and yet he'd had no inkling that Vin was in the room. <Damn, but that Vin was way too quiet by half.>

Vin stopped chuckling and smirked at Buck, "Never left. Then couldn't without interuptin' the lesson."

"Yeah, well, ya know it's just plain bad manners to listen to things that don't concern ya, Vin?" As usual when he was off balance, Buck used a verbal bluff to try and throw the uncertainty back on the other guy. Unfortunately, Vin wasn't the type of person who got thrown by much of anything, and he just continued smiling at Buck's discomfiture.

"Weren't tryin' to listen Buck, but y'all were loud enough to wake a dead man." Buck just scunched up his face in a fake smile and shrugged. "Yeah, well, that boy just don't know when he needs some help. Rate he's going, that little filly's gonna be married to someone else and have three young 'uns of her own!"

Vin nodded and tilted his head, "Could be you're right, but that don't change the fact that JD don't wanna hear it from you, or anyone. Gotta do it on his own. Though I ain't never seen a demonstration like that before."

"Uh," Buck shrugged, a little embarrassed about Vin having witnessed that, "thought maybe since he wasn't listening maybe I could show him what I meant."

"Looked mighty convincin' to me." Vin's smile was perfectly innocent, and Buck just knew he was being toyed with.

"Yeah? And just what would you know about that, Vin? Only woman I ever seen you with, was Charlotte." Buck wasn't trying to be mean or belittling of Vin, just reacting to his smug little grin. Though now that he thought about it, he never did see Vin around any women, other than Miz Nettie, who was old enough to be Vin's mother. When he was talking to Mary, Vin always appeared painfully shy and uncomfortable. He looked back at Vin, who maintained a steady eye contact, though his face flushed slightly at the comment.

"Just 'cause I don't bed every woman I see, don't mean I don't know what to do." <How the hell had Buck managed to swing the conversation around to my inexperience?>

"Yeah? Well let's hear just what all you can do Vin. Maybe I could be persuaded to help you out." Buck was feeling magnanimous now that he had Vin back on his heels.

"Thanks Buck, but don't think I need your help. There ain't no women I'm interested in now, so ain't no point." With that, Vin got up to leave, but found his way blocked by the tall form of Wilmington. He looked up into smiling eyes, "Bucklin?"

"Now Vin, just because there ain't no women you're interested in at the moment, doesn't mean that you shouldn't have the expertise for when one does appear. And you never know when that could happen, so you gotta be prepared. Now JD didn't stick around to finish his lesson so I got time to help you." Buck wouldn't have bothered pressing the point, but something in Vin's eyes said that he might be interested in a little fun. Now since Vin was attractive and had a very close relationship with Buck's best friend Chris, Buck thought it might behoove him to get a little closer to him. He' d always wondered just what it was between the other two men, and this might be the time to find out.

Vin narrowed his eyes at him, "Jus what ya got in mind Buck?" Vin had to admit to himself, that he was just a tiny bit curious as to how it would feel to have all of Buck's considerable charm directed toward him. However, he didn't want the ladies' man to get the wrong idea and think that he was wanting anything more than having his curiosity satisfied--he had too much at stake with Chris.

Buck reached out and gently ran his fingers down Vin's cheek. "Ya got such nice soft skin, for a man who spends all his time outdoors Vin." The tracker didn't pull away, but froze in place.

"Thought ya were gonna give me lessons on women, not on me?" Though Vin's voice was calm and steady, Buck could see that he was nervous and thought that a more indirect approach was called for.

"Yeah, that's true. Ok, c'mon over here and get comfortable. He tugged Vin back over to the table that JD had so recently become aquainted with. Buck got back into 'teacher' mode: "OK now Vin, first off you have to talk to her sweetly. Tell her how beautiful she is and.."

"I ain't much one for fancy talkin Buck." Vin interrupted.

"Wha...? Well, yeah...uh, hell you could always tell her some of that poetry of yours." Buck watched with interest as a flush crept up Vin's neck and face. <Why in hell would he be embarrassed by something like that? I'd be proud to write poetry like Vin's.> Buck had been very surprised when Vin 's poem had appeared in the Clarion. He knew Vin more as an observer than a talker, but then you just never knew with the quiet ones.

"Well, maybe later, after you get to know her a bit better.

Vin nodded, thinking there was no way he was ready to start spouting poetry to a woman he had just met. He'd known Mary for nearly two years before he got up enough nerve to say something to her, and then only because she had been so encouraging to him. Sometimes he just found it easier to say difficult things in a poem.

While Vin was busy ruminating, Buck had taken the opportunity to move closer and back the smaller man up against the table. Vin glanced up, startled, and resolved to pay attention--when it came to love and lovin--Buck was one fast mover. Now he had hold of one of Vin's hands, slowly bringing it up to his face. The sharpshooter watched in stunned fascination as Buck bent to gently kiss the back of it. Vin felt a tingle run down his arm to his belly. Buck smiled at him and proceeded with the 'lesson'.

"Now that you have her attention, ya gotta proceed slow but surely. Don't let her think you changed your mind about her. Offer to carry her things if she has any, or escort her wherever she may want to go." He gracefully took the hand he still held and tucked it under his arm, like a man would with a woman. Buck slowly walked Vin around in a circle, so that they were back where they started and released his arm. Vin was still watching him with a bemused expression not quite knowing how to handle this. Buck took this as a sign that Vin was willing to go further with the instruction, and decided to speed things up a little.

"All right now Vin, let's just suppose that the little lady is becoming a bit more friendly, and allows you to escort her home and invites you inside." Vin just smiled--thinking to himself that no well-bred girl would ever invite a scruffy-looking, no account cowboy like himself home--but he decided not to spoil Buck's fun. Buck continued, totally ignorant of Vin's thoughts. "This is where things start to get interesting! Likely she'll offer you something to drink. So you help her off with her coat." He demonstrated by pulling Tanner's hide coat down over his shoulders and off, and turned to drape it over a chair. "Then you help her get the drinks, pouring for her if necessary... What?" Vin was wearing an irritating smirk on his face.

"Ain't ya gonna get me a drink for this part?" asked Vin in all innocence.

Buck just glared at him. "Funny boy! Now forget that and concentrate on the important parts here Vin." Sometimes Buck wondered why he put himself out for his friends--they just didn't seem to appreciate his help. "Where was I? Oh, yeah, now you take the drinks and sit down. If you're lucky, there'll be a couch and she'll sit on that and you can sit on it too. Not too close now to start. Ya gotta ease your way over to her gradually." Buck pulled out one of the chairs and motioned for Vin to sit on it, and then pulled up another for himself. He sat down, only to find his 'date' giving him a very disproving look. "Now what!?"

"Awful close ain't ya?" Vin said in his best prim voice, which just didn't carry properly with his soft drawl.

"Vin!" Buck burst out, "Just never mind that and pay attention to what I'm doin here!" Vin blinked slowly at him--his face saying that he was paying attention, and he really couldn't understand what Buck was all upset about. At that point Buck was seriously considering wringing the tracker's neck. However he managed to restrain himself and figured that he would make Vin pay in other ways.

"Now, you gotta carry on a bit of conversation here Vin, but ya can keep it simple. Just ask her some questions about herself and what she likes, that kinda thing. While you're talking all nice and sweet, you start to ease just a wee bit closer, not too obvious now. I know you can do not obvious, right Vin?" The teacher had managed to edge his chair closer, trying hard to ignore the very pointed look that Vin was giving him. <Talk about being obvious!> Wilmington had seen Tanner give drunken, arguing cowboys more subtle looks. Buck ran his hand through his thick hair in frustration. <Damn but Vin is gonna pay for this--one way or another!> He carried on with his self appointed mission and eased his chair beside Vin's. Then he slowly slid one arm along the back of the other man's chair. Vin just kept up his intent look, and Buck found that instead of dissuading him, it was actually beginning to arouse him a bit. <This might be fun after all.>

"Now comes the good part!" He leaned in and moved his face closer to Vin's. The sharpshooter's natural reaction to draw back was neatly circumvented by Buck sliding the hand resting on the chair back, up to cup the back of Vin's head. He gently pressed his lips to Vin's mouth and kissed him lightly. <Vin has nice soft lips!>

Vin tried to pull his head back, but Buck had him neatly trapped, so he allowed himself to be kissed. <Buck has such a soft mouth.> Vin closed his eyes--trying to feel more of the sensation, and almost missed the hand snaking into his shirt and caressing his side. His eyes flew open and he looked into smiling deep blue eyes. Buck seemed to be enjoying himself, and Vin wasn't sure that he remembered that Vin was a man. Tanner twisted his head and pulled away, but Buck didn't withdraw the hand from inside his shirt. Vin was looking sharply at the hand, when he felt his hat come off and another hand slide through his hair. His head jerked around and again found himself staring into very amused eyes.

<This is just too much fun! Obviously ole Vin hasn't been seduced before by someone who knows what they were doing.> Buck was having fun now, and he didn't really care that Vin wasn't the normal sex that he preferred. He wasn't too sure himself exactly how far he was willing to take this, but figured to carry on until Vin shot him or something. "Ya got such beautiful hair Vin--long and thick, and curly. A man just loves to run his hands through it." Vin was staring at him--mesmerized as a snake's prey--before the scoundrel's advances.

"Betcha it smells just like the sweet flowers of the desert." Buck leaned in to bury his nose in the aforementioned mane, and heard a sort of strangled gasp come from his 'sweetheart'. He withdrew a bit so he could see Vin's face. It was a very becoming shade of red, though he doubted that Vin would see it that way.

"Why Vin, you're looking a little flustered. We ain't progressing too fast for ya, are we?" Buck was definitely teasing, and Vin was loath to admit that he was fast losing his renowned calm.

"No, no...ya ain't goin too fast...just don't forget that I'm Vin and not some girl." he growled.

Buck smiled, very sincerely, "Now Vin, I reckon that I know the difference between a woman and a man here."

"Just keep that in mind afore ya get carried away." Vin grumbled, noticing that Buck still hadn't removed his hand from inside his shirt. And that shirt seemed to have undone a few buttons when he wasn't watching. He was about to try and pull Buck's arm away, when Wilmington stood up and pulled Vin up with him. "Now darlin, don't ya want to get a little more comfortable here." Buck eased off Vin's suspenders as he spoke.

"Buck!" growled his companion.

"Now, now...everything's gonna be just fine...don't you fret none. I just don't think a sweet young thing like you, needs to have this big ole gun, now do ya?" Buck withdrew his hand from Vin's waist and moved to remove his gunbelt. He moved very slowly--though they were pretending that Vin was a sweet young girl, Buck was quite aware of how dangerous it was to touch another man's gun. The sharpshooter narrowed his eyes at him, but didn't move to stop him. Buck slid his hands down the thigh where the mare's leg was strapped onto and eased it off, then undid the buckle and removed the gun and belt and set them on the chair near Vin's jacket. Vin was looking more ill at ease with the removal of his weapon, than any of his clothes, and Buck could understand that: that gun was Vin's means of staying alive and he wouldn't part with it unnecessarily.

THREE

Vin was also feeling a little strange. He'd never had someone else remove his gun before, other than the odd villain, and they certainly hadn't aroused the feelings in him that Buck's slow caress of his thigh had done. He shook his head, trying to clear it. <Surely I'm really not falling under the scoundrel's spell, am I?> He raised his gaze in time to receive another kiss from Buck, only this one was not as light and chaste as the first one. This time Buck put his feeling and skill into it, and thoroughly licked and kissed Vin's lips before slipping his tongue into Vin's mouth. The tracker didn't notice Buck's hands slide down his shoulders, taking Vin's shirt with them--he didn't feel the those same hands undoing the buttons of his pants. All he could perceive was the hot, sweet tongue twisting with his and probing every inch of the inside of his mouth.

Buck could feel Vin surrendering to his ministrations as the smaller body relaxed against his and Vin's hands automatically came up to reach around his back. When he felt the hardness at Vin's crotch press against his thigh, he finally pulled back from the kiss. Vin's eyes were closed, his lips swollen and parted and he was breathing like he's just run all the way from the livery to the saloon. <Looks like I've reached the poet. Now for the next part of the lesson.> Buck quickly slid Vin's loosened pants and underwear over his hips and down his legs. Then he reached under the tracker's firm butt and lifted him with a grunt of effort, up to sit on the table. Vin's eyes flicked open and he looked at Buck in shock.

"Ah...wha'cha doin Buck?" he gasped. He glanced around wildly, trying to figure out when he'd lost control of this--when he'd let Buck's passion ignite his own.

"Easy there Vin...I ain't gonna hurt you. Just goin on with the lessons. Now once you get that little filly somewhere more comfortable, you can proceed further." He moved to ease Vin back down on the table, but the tracker was resistant.

"I don't know 'bout this, Buck. Maybe I learned enough for now." Vin was afraid to look Buck in the eyes--afraid that his own would show his ambivalent feelings. The fact that his arousal was likely obvious to the other man, was even more embarrassing. Though when he risked a glance at Buck--he could see that he wasn't the only one who was enjoying this game. Vin swallowed hard. <Do I allow the game to go on? Will this ruin any chance with Chris or will Buck understand this is just for this one time?>

Buck was watching his 'student' with some concern. Though he was now more than willing to continue this to it's natural conclusion, he had no desire to force himself on anyone, and certainly not on Vin. He leaned closer so he could see his eyes. "Vin? I ain't gonna force you. If you don't want this...then neither do I. I told you--I won't hurt you, so you just say the word, and we'll stop right here, all right?"

Vin looked back at him, and then down at his hands. "Just don't know, Buck. I got feelin's for someone and I don't want ta mess it up." He looked back up--willing Buck to understand without him having to say more.

"Chris?" Buck knew it without actually asking. So it was true--Vin and Chris were attracted to one another, beyond the mutual respect for each other's gun-fighting skills. Or at least Vin wanted Chris. Though most people thought that Buck was all bluster and libido, the ladies' man was actually very sensitive and concerned about how other people felt. Chris was his oldest, closest friend and Vin was quickly joining that special spot. "Does he know?" Vin's answer was a shrug of his shoulders, and Buck relaxed a bit. <OK. That means that they haven't got together yet, so I won't be stepping in between a 'couple'. I sure as hell don't need Chris gunning after me for touching someone who belongs to him!> He looked back at Vin, "Well Vin, I don't know 'bout you, but I could sure use a little relief here. This don't need to go any further than this one time. Hell, maybe these lessons will actually do you more good this way!" He tried to jolly Vin back into the mood they had previously.

Vin sat looking ahead, thinking things out. He seemed to come to a conclusion--blinking rapidly a couple of times and nodding his head. "All right. Just this once." Vin quickly found himself on his back on the hard table, with Buck leaning over him grinning.

"I was hoping ya'd feel that way, pard!" Buck decided not to give Vin a chance to second guess himself, and made quick work opening his own pants and yanking off his shirt. "Now, where were we?" He reached down and started to stroke Vin's chest and neck, and leaned over him to kiss that sweet mouth again.

Vin squirmed under him, he'd never had anyone arouse him just with a kiss before, but his cock immediately hardened again as soon as Buck claimed his mouth. Vin grasped Buck's thick hair in one hand, and wrapped the other around his lean back--pulling him as close as he could. Buck was bent over the table between Vin's legs and Vin was trying to wrap his thighs around Buck, but his legs were trapped by his pants tangled around his ankles. He growled low in his throat in frustration, and Buck pulled back to see what the problem was. When Vin gestured toward his feet, Buck chuckled and quickly moved to remove the offending items. He took a moment to lower his pants and grab something off the nearby table, then moved back into position between Vin's dangling legs.

"Ah darlin, you're looking lovelier than the first flower that blooms with the mornin dawn." Vin blinked at him. <Looks like I ain't the only poet around here, though I don't see me saying anything flowery like that to someone!> He grunted when Buck reached under his butt and pulled him closer to the edge of the table. "Gotta get ya a little closer here, little blossom." Buck chuckled as Vin scowled at him. That look changed as he ran his hands back up the insides of Vin's lean thighs...<Now I got his attention!> The lover slid his hands past Vin's aroused flesh and slowly up his belly and over his nipples. Vin's body jerked in reaction and he reflexively brought his legs up and squeezed them against Buck's narrow hips. Buck moved in closer to use his talented mouth on Vin's.

Both men were so engrossed in their lesson, that they failed to notice the return of one JD Dunne. JD had run most of the way back to the jail before slowing up. Once he got inside and got his clothes refastened...he started to think about what Buck had been doing. <Heck, I guess it wasn't all that bad. Sometimes Buck just got a little carried away with his 'helping' and maybe I over-reacted. Probably looked pretty stupid running down the street with my shirt undone like that!> The more JD thought about it, the sillier he felt and figured that his mentor would be totally irritated with him. Much as he didn't appreciate it, he knew that his 'big brother' was only trying to help, and was likely upset that JD had run off like some frightened child. <OK, I should go back and tell him I appreciate him trying to help, but he doesn't need to demonstrate next time! That should do it.> JD had his pride, but he was also very sensitive and didn't want to hurt Buck's feelings. He headed back to the saloon. For once in his life he entered quietly, not sure if Buck was still there.

Buck was still there, not too surprisingly he was naked and 'with' someone. JD blushed scarlet, and was trying to back out quietly, when Buck's lover spoke up.

"Damn Buck! Where'd ya learn to kiss like that?"

JD froze in total shock. <Vin? That sure sounded like Vin Tanner!> It sure didn't sound like no woman to JD. He squinted at the duo on the table, trying to make out who exactly Buck was with, but since he was looking at the top of the person's head and Buck was leaning over them, he really couldn't see much. JD debated moving closer but was too afraid to attract their attention. Buck for one, would never let him live it down, and if by some bizarre chance it was Vin...he sure didn't want him to know he was there either.

Buck in his usual helpful way, saved him from the decision. "Well, Vin, it just comes natural to a man like me." He smiled at Vin's doubting look. "And of course it helps that I grew up with women who were used to pleasing men, and they were more than willing to teach me some things." Buck traced Vin's chest with his lips and mustache causing him to jerk and tremble with the wet and tickly feeling.

JD had also jerked...but in horror. <What is going on here? And why is Vin lyin there...naked? They're both naked! What the hell were they doing?> JD didn't know whether to flee or stay, but his natural curiosity finally decided for him...after all, Buck wouldn't really do anything with Vin, would he?

Vin and Buck meantime, continued on with their lessons, unaware of their new 'student'. Buck continued to kiss his way down Vin's flat belly, stopping to tease his indented navel. Vin squirmed in reaction and Buck chuckled. <Ah, Vin, you sure make one beautiful, responsive 'filly'.> Buck was taking it slow however, getting back into 'teacher' mode. "Now ya kiss and stroke your way down her belly, then move back up to tease those succulent breasts." He ran his hands over Vin's nipples in circular motions, pinching them and causing Vin to gasp and writhe under his touch. Buck smiled at him, "Like that do ya?"

Vin opened glazed eyes and panted, "S'alright," in a flat voice. 'Teach' chuckled and slid one hand down to caress Vin's full balls. The 'student' jerked again and groaned loudly. Vin tried to glare at his tormentor, but Buck just grinned and continued to stroke him between his legs, never actually touching his leaking cock. "Now, now, darlin'. Ya gotta let ole Buck know when something pleases ya." he admonished. Vin growled in response and fought to control himself. Right now all he wanted to do was grab the 'teacher' and drag him down on the table with him. Buck however, was remaining just out of reach of Vin's arms: close enough to torture him, but not close enough for Vin to do anything but respond to the various pleasures being lavished upon his body.

JD watched all this in stunned silence. At first he had thought Vin was trying to wriggle away from Buck, just as JD had done earlier. But as he edged a bit closer, he could see that both men were fully aroused and that Vin was obviously enjoying what Buck was doing to him. He shook his head in total bewilderment; <How can two men like doing that with each other?> However, he wasn't quite horrified so much that he could turn away from the scene.

Buck continued to caress Vin, enjoying his moans and wriggling. He has always found great joy in pleasing his lovers and to have someone who was so responsive was really exciting him. Buck stroked Vin's cock a few times just to heighten his arousal, then slid one hand down to lightly run his fingers over Vin's secret opening. The young man jumped and gasped out loud, causing Buck to chuckle softly.

"Surprised ya didn't I, darlin'" He rubbed him again to make sure that it was just surprise and not from fear. Buck had assumed that Vin had been with men before, since Vin hadn't seemed too concerned that Buck knew it was Chris he wanted. However, if he was a virgin with men, then the teacher would have to proceed carefully and make sure he didn't frighten him. Buck really didn't mind virgins: Hell he thought it a great compliment if a woman wanted him to be her first lover, and he was very gentle and considerate. He would do the same for a man if necessary. Buck looked at Vin's face--he was flushed and sweating slightly and Buck could see a touch of nervousness in those blue eyes.

"Vin? Have you been with a man before?" he asked gently, still stroking his belly.

Vin flushed even more and shifted his gaze away from Buck's face. "Yeah, but not like this. Just used our hands." Vin was embarassed and for one of the few times in his adult life, he felt inadequate. Obviously Buck was experienced with men as well as all his women. No way could he bluff his way through this one. He just hoped that Buck wouldn't laugh at him or decide not to continue.

FOUR

"Vin, look at me pard. It's all right. Just need to know if you want to go any further with this. Now, I'd be more than happy to teach ya what ya need to know--unless you want to wait for Chris?" Buck figured that this would likely be the crux of the decision for Vin. He was obviously aroused with Buck, but maybe he would like to wait to share his first time with Chris. If so, Buck could give them both relief another way.

His partner was quiet, trying to reason out what he wanted, but it was hard to do with his whole body throbbing with desire. He truly wanted to be with Chris, but he didn't even know if the gunfighter was interested in him. Sometimes he caught Larabee looking at him like he might desire him, but he' d never made a move toward Vin. Now Vin was torn between waiting for Chris or maybe learning something useful from Buck, in case Chris did choose him. He looked up into Buck's warm blue eyes and made his choice.

"Ain't no use waitin for somethin that might never happen. 'Sides, I reckon you know what yer doin."

Buck gave him a bright smile, "Oh, that I do pard. That I do."

JD had listened to this last bit with growing puzzlement. <Why was Buck asking if Vin wanted to wait for Chris? Surely the fierce gunfighter would have nothing to do with Buck's crazy 'love lessons'.> JD was more than a little disturbed by some of the questions and actions his mentor was engaging in, but he didn't really think that Buck and Vin intended to do anything serious. He was only vaguely aware of what men and women did together and totally ignorant of what two men might do. However, he was about to have that last problem fixed, and soon.

Buck stepped back into his teacher bit, but this time he wasn't pretending that Vin as a woman. No, the tracker needed some straight forward advice on what to expect with another man. Buck's main concern was showing Vin what to do and how pleasant it could be for him. Though he didn't know what Chris would be like in bed, there were only so many ways to make love to a man. The main thing he could show Vin was how to relax and to ensure that both he and his partner let each other know what felt good or what didn't. Buck personally couldn't picture his longtime friend allowing someone else to mount him, so he figured he would show Vin how to be on the receiving end of two men together.

"Ok, Vin", he voiced his thoughts, "it ain't too likely that ole Chris'll let you take him, so if ya don't mind, I'll show you how to get pleasure that way."

Vin's face burned, but he managed to meet Buck's dark eyes and nod. Buck noticed that the sharpshooter's erection had waned somewhat, so he decided to arouse Vin fully again, before trying anything new. He leaned back over and claimed Vin's full lips again. He used his hands to stroke Vin's chest and abdomen, relishing in the feel of soft skin over hard muscle--so different from a woman's soft body, but still so enticing. Buck's skill soon had Vin wriggling again, so he tried fondling his cock and swollen balls, before moving back to tease his anus again. This time Vin stilled for a brief moment, but then he grabbed Buck and pulled him tighter to him. Buck could feel him start to push his hips against Buck's, rubbing his swollen member against his belly.

The feel of the hard cock against his stomach and Vin's soft mouth teasing his nipples, had Buck rapidly approaching a point where he just wanted to plunge into the shifting body beneath his. But he had to go slow--much as Vin might feel ready, Buck knew that he would be hurt if he wasn't prepared. He felt a rough, wet tongue licking his hard nipples and decided he'd better work faster, or Vin was going to ruin all his lessons so far.

Vin couldn't believe how good Buck felt and tasted. He nuzzled the tall man 's neck, causing Buck to shiver as he licked a soft spot below his ear. Emboldened by the response, Vin kissed his way back to the peaked nipples and lightly nibbled on one. Buck abruptly pulled away from him.

"Damn Vin, I thought you weren't too experienced with men!" Buck was panting.

Vin gave him a smug little smile. "Sorry, 'teach', didn't mean ta get ahead of the lesson." He tried to duck away when Buck aimed a swat at his head.

"Some people just don't get any respect. But if you want to speed things up, we can do that Vin." Buck gave him a very evil grin in return and pressed against the opening again, and inserted the tip of his finger. Vin tried to twist away, but Buck wasn't letting him this time. He removed the finger and slicked it up with the oil he had retrieved earlier. Before Vin could figure out how to get away, Buck leaned back over to capture his mouth again, while sliding the slick finger deeper into Vin's body. The muscles tightened around him, but then relaxed as Buck petted his chest with his free hand. "Easy Vin. Just relax and it will feel so good." He kept stroking him internally, stretching the passageway gradually. It took some time, but Buck was patient despite his threat to Vin. No use rushing because that would only hurt Vin, which wouldn't please Buck. Vin's moans and vocalizations rather surprised Buck; the tracker normally was a quiet man, but he was enjoying eliciting such a response from him.

"Soon, Vin. We're almost there now pard. Just relax a bit more." He whispered to the twisting body beneath him.

"Now Buck. Do it now!" Vin pleaded, fearing he would lose control if Buck didn't stop teasing him with those long, talented fingers. Buck probed him one last time, and then removed his hand. He straightened up a bit, and lifted Vin's legs up and over his broad shoulders. Buck could see the need and rapture in the huge blue eyes and drew a deep breath to control himself. All he wanted to do right now, was plunge into Vin's ready body.

JD drew in a deep shocked breath, unheard by the other men over their own panting. <Buck isn't actually going to?...not with Vin!> He wanted to turn away. Knew he should turn away--but couldn't. He was a helpless voyeur to things he had never even dreamed about, were now about to take place in front of his stunned eyes. <I'm pretty sure Buck never intended for me to have this kind of lesson!> He covered his mouth with his hand and prayed they wouldn't see him. Watching.

Buck reached for the oil to cover his cock, but Vin took it from him and poured the oil into his own hand. He reached for Buck and the 'teacher' was nearly undone by the student's callused hands stroking the oil onto his hard cock. "Oh, God! Hurry Vin, or I'm gonna lose it here and now." Vin judged him to be sufficiently covered and released him. Buck quickly positioned his aching rod at Vin's relaxed entrance and taking a deep breath, started to ease his way in. Vin gave a soft little cry as he breached the opening and Buck immediately halted, breathing heavily.

"You ok, Vin? Am I hurting you?" He lifted one hand from the table and rubbed Vin's belly to relax him.

"No, I'm all right. Just surprised me some." Vin took a deep breath and nodded for Buck to continue.

Buck slowly slid the rest of the way into the heat of his lover, pausing whenever Vin started to tense up at all. It seemed to take forever, but Buck enjoyed the journey. Once he was seated as deep as he could go, he leaned closer to kiss Vin again. Buck ignored his need to thrust until he felt Vin moving against him and moaning again. He moved back a bit, to brace himself on the table and then started to slowly pull himself out and then push back in. Buck did this until Vin was growling at him to go faster, and he complied--pulling out and driving in with full force. Vin cried out in pure pleasure and reached to grip Buck's shoulders.

The lover's growls and grunts of pleasure and the wet sound of flesh on flesh, drowned out the strangled cry of JD. His eyes and mouth were wide open in dumfounded disbelief. <Oh, my God! They're doing...they're having, uh, ...love with each other! How can they do that?> JD was transfixed. He 'd never, ever seen or heard anything like this in his short life.

The tableau in front of him was drawing to a conclusion. "Oh, God Vin! You 're so tight! Unnn...so good." Buck was nearly lifting Vin off the table with the power of his thrusts, and Vin was matching him strength for strength. Though not saying anything, he was grunting and growling continuously and had a death grip on Buck's arms. When Buck hit a secret spot deep inside his body, Vin let out a hoarse yell and climaxed--spraying Buck's belly and chest with his seed. His shuddering and clenching muscles set Buck off shortly thereafter, and he thrust wildly into the young man, crying out his own culmination, before he collapsed on top of the now limp Vin.

JD aborted his instinctive step to help the men who sounded like they were in terrible pain, when he realized they had finished and that he'd best get out of there while he could. As he tiptoed carefully out the doors, he thought to himself. <Well Buck, guess I got my lessons after all, though I don't think you were planning on showing me all that!> He headed back to his room, trying to get the image of the two sweating men--his friends--out of his head.

Buck finally caught his breath and moved off of Vin. <Well, I don't know who taught who pleasure here. Never expected Vin to be so passionate in his lovemaking, but I sure don't regret it. Not for one minute.> He looked back at his lover. "How ya feeling Vin? I didn't hurt ya now did I. You were so hot, I got a bit carried away there, pard. Sorry about that."

Vin turned his head to regard him. "Are ya 'sposed to apologize for givin your partner a good time?" He softened the question with a slight smile. "Didn't hurt me none Buck, but ya sure made me feel real good."

Buck smiled in relief, "Well, that's good, that's real good. You were supposed to enjoy it. If Chris ever wises up and sees how you care for him...he'll be a lucky man, Vin. Real lucky to have you in his bed." He stroked his hand gently down Vin's damp face. The tracker blinked slowly and nodded his head.

"Thanks Buck. For everything. I owe ya on this."

"No Vin, you don't owe me anything. I already collected payment." He looked around for their clothes and moved off of the table. <Yeah, Chris. You'll be one lucky man--if you ever make a move.>

Vin groaned as he rose from the table. "If'n I ever do get Chris to love me...I'm gonna make sure we ain't on a table!" He looked at Buck as he gathered up his clothes. "Thanks Buck, for teachin me."

Buck chuckled at the complaint, glad that Vin seemed alright with the way things had turned out. "Well, Vin, if you even need more lessons, you know where to come. And it was my pleasure."

Both men got dressed and headed their separate ways as they left the bar--still friends and maybe something more. Lessons were over for the day.

THE END
