ATF Alternate Universe
SEVEN
Vin drove the Jag home from the airport, Ezra was so relieved and amazed at the turnout of the Inquiry, that he was emotionally drained. His head was back and eyes closed, but he kept his left hand on Vin's thigh the whole drive back.Once in the condo, Ezra locked the door and turned to Vin with his own predatory stare. He fixed his green eyes on the twinkly blue that made life alive. His grin was hungry. He backed Vin up to the wall, Vin stopped, Ezra kept going until he was pressed so firmly against him, one couldn't tell where one body ended and the next began.
Ezra's hips gyrated against Vin's cock, two burgeoning erection's ground together, hard and straining. But it was the kiss, Vin was lost in the sensations. Ezra sucked his lips, his teeth, the inner cheeks of his mouth, his tongue. He was being tongue fucked and it was one of the best feelings of his life. So caught up in the passion, the grinding, it wasn't until he felt his release that he realized that he was close. Still the kiss continued, as though Ezra had plans on eating him. Without removing his lips from Vin, Ezra unbuttoned Vin's shirt, pulling it off him and tossing it across the room. Ezra let his hands roam over Vin's shoulders and chest, he then ran his fingernails lightly over the same area, circling the nipples several times. Vin was already hard again, thrusting his hips, moaning, lost in Ezra's world of touch.
Ezra broke his lips away and Vin groaned at the loss, but Ezra whispered in Vin's ear between licks, "Vin, I need to be in you. Feel you all around me, make you mine. May I?"
Vin's, "Oh, god, yes, Ez," was a plead of need for himself. In a flash, Vin went full-metal jacket with the thought of Ezra inside him.
Ezra gripped Vin around the waist, lips together, sucking his tongue for the entire journey, as he pushed him toward the bedroom. Vin was in ecstasy for Ezra was in complete control, and the possession factor was an intensive aphrodisiac. Vin was putty in Ezra's hands.
Ezra controlled the fall onto the bed, then Ezra started his exploration of Vin's body in earnest, starting with a second intensive tongue fuck. He licked and rubbed Vin's chest, paying close attention to his taut nipples, then following the hair lines to the brown curls surrounding the most extraordinary cock. Ezra loved how it pulsed and quivered under his attentions. Vin's throaty growls did indicate that Vin was pleased. But he ignored the steel shaft and licked his inner thighs instead. Vin chanted Ez's name, in an attempt for Ezra to provide the final relief, but again, Ezra had other plans. He reached for the baby oil and slicked his hand and began caressing a trail from the base of his fully erect penis, over the opening, up through the crack. He brought his hand back to Vin's opening, circling the outer edge several times before just pushing at it, not penetrating it. Vin growled, he wanted Ezra inside, "Ezra, I want ya there, inside, please."
Ezra leaned over and kissed the lips that had just begged him. He continued his prep. He lubed his fingers again and inserted one finger and Vin purred. Ezra moved it back and forth as Vin tried to push into it. Ezra withdrew the one and slicked two and placed both inside and was rewarded with louder purrs from Vin. He moved the fingers in as far as they could reach, searching for the nub that Vin was anticipating. Vin's shout of delight let Ezra know he had located it. He took out his two fingers and replaced them with three. He scissored them, truly preparing his lover. His lover was very impatient and was thrusting all he could against Ezra's hand. Ezra withdrew his hand and slicked his erection and pressed it to the hole. Vin could feel it and sat back on it as hard and fast as he could manage. Ezra's squeal electrified Vin's desire. Ezra thrust against him hard and swift. He grabbed Vin's cock with his greased hand and pumped him in the same fashion as he thrust. The build up began all too soon . Ezra couldn't slow down, but sped up instead. Vin all but screamed Ezra's name as he shot out every last bit of his fluids. The squeezing vibrations around Ezra's cock sent him spinning out of control and shouted Vin's name with equal fervor. Vin could feel Ezra's seed coat the inside and he trembled in joy. Ezra made sure he didn't land on top, but along side Vin in exhaustion. Drawing close to him, the man he planned on keeping beside him forever, Ezra kissed Vin's entire face with feather soft kisses. Vin sighed and completely relaxed against the keeper of his heart.

Ezra had to go undercover. It was time in the Caulter case to send in a buyer, and Ezra was it. Eric Sinclair, for the next several weeks that would be his identity. As the team sat in the conference room, they built Sinclair based on their knowledge of Caulter. A mousy, hen-pecked looking man, that had master-minded one of the biggest gun thefts in Denver, all from private collector's. They'd already set up a house for Sinclair and now he needed to arrive back from Europe.
Vin sat back quiet. He'd seen Ezra operate before, he'd work on a character till he was that man. This full immersion had saved his life on several occasions. This was the first time since they'd been together that Ezra had to leave, and Vin was surprised at the mixture of feelings stirring inside. He was anxious and worried, which had happened on all previous cases. But he was already feeling lonely. Vin Tanner didn't get lonely. He couldn't put it on Ezra, he had too much to worry on, maybe he'd talk to Chris.
After a night of furious lovemaking, Ezra left for his undercover assignment. Knowing he wouldn't be back for several weeks, the two men stood looking at each other, memorizing, conveying, loving with their eyes. Then Ezra turned and left.
+ + + + + + +
Two weeks and the assignment was proceeding as planned. Ezra reported in on schedule and surveillance didn't pick up any thing to worry them. The FBI had muscled in on the case slightly, more that they wanted in at the arrest, for they were able to pin three murders on Caulter. But they had been ordered by Travis to let the ATF work the case.
Chris and Vin had the surveillance van for the night and Chris had almost laughed at Vin's desire to talk with Ezra. "You didn't have to on his last case, what's so different this time?" Chris knew but he wasn't sure the tracker did.
"I miss him." Vin said honestly. Then added, "When Ez, is undercover, I don't think he remembers that he's not alone anymore, he was a lot more lonely than any of us ever knew."
"So, you have a plan or what?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, just so happens I do." He picked up the cellphone and called the Chinese food place around the corner and placed an order. He grinned at Chris as he ordered enough food for three.
"Thanks for thinking of me," Chris said, checking to make sure.
"Oh, I'll eat with ya, just delivering some to Ezra, and of course, collect payment. Can't stay inside too long."
"Remember that the house is bugged." Chris reminded him at Tanner's expression.
"I remember." Vin then got out of the van and took the bike off the rack and rode down the street to get the food. Ten minutes later he arrived back and gave Chris the food for the two of them. He tucked his hair up under his cap and took out a kid's wild t-shirt and gave Chris a mischievous smile as he headed for Ezra's.
Ezra was flipping channels, ready for this assignment to be over. Hadn't even thought of dinner yet. His thoughts kept wandering to Vin. The knock at the door was unexpected and Ezra put himself back into character. He looked out the viewhole and saw a delivery boy. Ezra figured his thoughts must really be on Vin, as he thought that the delivery boy stood like Tanner.
He opened the door carefully as he didn't order any food. He smelled the Chinese food but his mouth went dry at the delivery boy. Vin. His big, knowing smile greeted him. He said, "Your delivery, sir, and I need to collect payment."
Ezra caught the message in Vin's words. He was truly happy to see Vin. His eyes conveyed that message easily. He closed the door behind him and led him to the study. "Let me get you the correct change." He pointed to the lamps, Vin nodded that he understood.
"Take your time, delivery is such a hassle." All the while he was talking, he was unfastening Ezra's pants and exposed his growing cock. "Hope ya plan to give me a big tip." He said, his eyes meeting Ezra's as he took his fully aroused shaft into his mouth.
Ezra stopped himself from groaning allowed. He did manage to say, "I only have ones, it'll take a few to count them out." His voice rose an octave as Vin sucked real hard. Watching Vin as he pleasured him, Ezra was lost in the sensations. He tried to keep his eyes open but the sensations created were hard to fight. All too soon Ezra felt the oncoming climax and tried to keeps his sounds contained. An "oomph," escaped and Vin chuckled.
Vin kissed the now flaccid cock and placed back inside his trousers and zipped the fly. He leaned over and gave Ezra a hard kiss and grinned at him. "I hope you believed that I earned my tip."
"Oh, indeed."
Ezra's breathy answer had Chris chuckling in the van.
Vin got ready to leave, the regret showing in his eyes, matched that in Ezra's. Aloud, he said, "Hope you choose to order from us again."
"Oh, I shall," was said with a smile in his voice. He kissed Vin's lips and whispered in his mouth, "I miss you."
Vin gave him a quick hug as he nodded his head. Then he left the residence.
Back in the surveillance van Chris gave him a knowing chuckle and handed him his carton of food.

Two weeks later saw the resolution of the case at hand and the bust was planned for the morning. As Ezra didn't want to be in contact with any of the players, he went home for the evening.Vin and Ezra had a romantic evening. Dinner by candlelight. Soft music. Sharing s'mores, whipped cream and marshmallows, made for delicious sex. Ezra was as happy as he could ever remember being. Snuggled up in bed with a very satisfied and sleepy Vin they exchanged their I love you's. And Ezra asked a sleepy Vin, "Move in completely with me."
Drowsily, Vin answered, "Can't, always got to have my place to go back to." Vin snuggled closer to Ezra and fell asleep, never realizing how those sleepy words could be construed.
Ezra laid there in overwhelming agony as he realized that Vin didn't expect this to last. The commitment words they shared didn't include forever. With a frozen heart, Ezra got up, showered and prepared for the mornings undercover operation.
+ + + + + + +
Vin awoke feeling for his partner and found the bed empty. He sniffed the air for the smell of coffee and found none. He got up and checked the condo. Empty. Ezra was gone. No Note.
Vin checked the time and realized that briefing with the FBI was already in progress. Vin showered hurriedly and headed in to the office.
+ + + + + + +
Ezra met with the FBI, and Chris, gave them the name of the warehouse that was being used. Ezra had arrived early and the FBI was glad, for it gave them more time to work on the wire they'd gotten approval for.
Chris had been more concerned at the haunted look in Ezra's eyes. But before he could talk with his undercover man, the FBI commander was going over what they needed. Then Ezra was getting into character and Chris was going to have to wait. He headed to his office to meet with the rest of his team.
Chris tried to gauge Vin as he came in, but Vin seemed more perplexed than worried. Chris updated the guys on the FBI involvement and they all left for the warehouse.
Buck and JD had the communications truck. Chris had argued and won that their own team could read Ezra better if he were to experience trouble. It was true. Buck could tell that Ezra was stalling, he wasn't pleased with the show of weapons and relayed that Ezra was expecting more so Chris held the FBI in check until they got the sign from Ezra.
It wasn't until Ezra was going to walk that Caulter brought out the guns that would tie him to all the thefts and three murders. As soon as Ezra gave the go ahead word, all hell broke lose in the warehouse. Ezra had a bead on one of the snipers of Caulter's team that hadn't been planned on. He watched him. Ezra felt that the man had Vin in his sights and Ezra steeped into the line of fire. He fired and hit the man he saw, he didn't see the other sniper and that one hit Standish three times. One hit him on the vest, but one went under the vest at a downward angle and one bullet hit his leg.
Vin saw Ezra step out into the line of fire and saw him get his intended target. He also watched as Ezra was hit. Vin took out that man, but not before his bullets hit Ezra. Vin yelled, but he was too far away for anyone to hear him. He jumped out of the bucket he was in and started scaling the crane down to the ground. Impatient to get to Ezra. He hadn't seen him get up.
The FBI men were around the fallen Standish and had the paramedics coming in. They took the wire off and allowed Nathan to check Standish over. Nathan had hoped that the vest prevented severe injury, but Ezra was unconscious, laying in a puddle of his own blood.
As time was of the essence, Chris climbed in the ambulance with Ezra. Vin was still too far away. He looked to Nathan, who promised that he'd get Vin to the hospital.
+ + + + + + +
Nathan and Josiah brought Vin to the hospital. Chris was already pacing the emergency waiting room. Buck and JD were doing the final wrap up and would be joining them shortly.
A doctor came out and asked, "Mr. Larabee?"
Chris stood, "Yes, that'd be me."
"My patient won't let me operate till he has spoken to you. His life depends on being able to treat him as soon as possible." the Doctor said with great frustration.
Chris nodded, as he followed the doctor. He looked back at Vin crumpled in the corner, fear and hurt in his eyes. Chris knew that he had expected his lover to ask for him, he sighed. This had something to do with that haunted look he'd seen in Ezra's eyes early this morning.
Inside, the Doctor could tell that Ezra wanted to be alone, he looked at Chris, "Every second counts." He left them alone.
Chris looked down at Ezra, "Ezra, we got to get you fixed, what ya need so bad?"
A weak and dispirited Ezra looked up into caring hazel eyes, "Please, Chris . . .let me go. . . .Vin needs an easy way out of the relationship. Let me go quietly, best for him. Don't think I could let him go . . .so let me.." Ezra closed his green eyes trying to stop the tears at his loss.
"Ezra, I don't know what happened, But Vin's out there dying 'cause he can't be in here with you right now. Ezra, you're his life."
Hope filled Ezra's eyes for a second before Vin's words returned. Tear-filled green fluttered open and a small shake of his head brought Chris' ear closer to Ezra. "Said he was going back to his place, didn't want to live forever with me." Ezra whispered, then his voice broke, "Chris I love him too much, let me go, best for him . . ." Ezra's head lulled to the side as beepers went off.
Doctors rushed in and began the process of saving Ezra's life. Chris was forgotten as he stood by the wall, his eyes tearing, saddened that Ezra would die to release Vin. He worked to control himself as he stayed invisible as he watched the operating team try to stop the bleeding and keep Ezra in the land of the living.
Vin was inconsolable as he sat crying into his knees. He was flanked by Josiah, Nathan and JD. They felt helpless, they didn't know how to comfort their friend other than being there. The door opened and Chris joined them, his tears still evident on his face.
