Disclaimer: John Carter and Luka Kovac unfortunately aren't my characters. If they were, ER would be a lot different, but somehow I don't think NBC is quite ready for that ;) (and btw I don't make any money on this either, it's just good wholesome fun)


In Kisangani


The next day was busy too, and Carter felt despaired over the amount of AIDS-patients. All day he kept thinking about the night before and Luka's kiss. Once the sun set and the other volunteers gathered together like the other days, Carter took a walk. He didn't feel like hanging out with the others tonight. He sat down quietly, not too far from the camp. He thought about Luka and his feelings for him. When he thought about Luka, his heart would instantly beat faster and he got a weird butterfly feeling in his stomach. Then he heard steps and saw the object of his desire, Luka Kovac approach him.

"May I sit down?" he asked politely.

"Sure" Carter said.

Luka handed him a beer and he took a sip.

"So… why are you sitting here all by yourself?" Luka asked.

"Well… I had some things on my mind" Carter replied, gazing nervously at the ground.

Luka felt his heart pounding and he grazed Carter's cheek with the back of his hand, and made Carter look at him.

"What things?" he asked, his voice low and his eyes intensely fixed on Carter's.
Carter, gazing shyly at Luka, swallowed hard and then, barely audible, said
"you".

A soft smile came upon Luka's lips as he realized what Carter had just said.

"I've been thinking about you too" he said, losing himself in Carter's dark eyes, which were now looking back at him with strong passion.

Carter felt his heart pounding, his cock hardening and his cheeks blushing

"Luka… I…" he said, before suddenly feeling Luka's lips on his own.

This kiss wasn't a light chaste one like the night before. It was intense and passionate. Luka wanted Carter, and the kiss was charged with desire. Luka traced Carter's lower lip with his sensual tongue and when Carter parted his lips, Luka's tongue slid in, causing intense arousal in both men's bodies. The kiss left them breathless and with forcefully pounding hearts.

"I want you too John" Luka said huskily, trying to catch his breath.

"I've wanted you since that day in the doctor's lounge, remember? Why do you think I asked you here?"

Carter just smiled a sexy smile, he was eager to taste Luka again. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against Luka's. They engaged in another kiss, their tongues twining together and their bodies pressed hardly against each other. Carter moaned and pressed his erection against Luka's hip.

"God, Luka I want you so bad" he moaned, his eyes dark with desire.

Luka began kissing Carter's neck and licking his way up to his earlobe. They kissed again roughly and needily. Carter trailed his hand down Luka's body eventually resting it on Luka's belly, so close to his burning erection. The kiss grew even deeper and Carter's hand slid down to the straining bulge in Luka's pants and he started rubbing his palm over it. Luka started to moan and squirm against that hand that caused so intense pleasure inside him He slid his hand under Carter's shirt, found a nipple and started caressing it. Now it was Carter's turn to moan loudly and squirm, as Luka's touch was driving him crazy with want. Luka leaned forward and caught Carter's moans with his mouth as he kissed Carter passionately.

Although they were both filled with lust and desire for each other they both knew that this wasn't something they should rush. Their feelings for each other were far beyond desire. The kiss was lingering and hot as if neither man could get enough. Suddenly Luka broke off the kiss and he turned away from Carter. Carter saw a tear roll down Luka's cheek. Luka looked down. He looked fragile. Carter began gently stroking his shoulders and felt his heart overflowing with emotions for Luka.

"Luka?" he asked gently.

"What's wrong Luka?" Carter began wondering if Luka had regretted the whole thing and he felt his heart sinking in his chest.

"You don't want this, do you?" Carter said, his voice almost cracking.

A million thoughts were racing through Carter's mind and he suddenly felt very insecure. Luka sensed the sadness in Carter's voice and looked up at him:

"No no I do want you John… I want you more than anything," he said smiling through the tears in his eyes.

"I was just thinking about something I said to you"

"What?" Carter asked softly.

"I told you I asked you to come here so that we could be closer to each other, remember?" Luka asked.

Carter, feeling his heart swell in his chest, once more looked at Luka and nodded.

"I shouldn't have asked you here" Luka said quietly, another tear escaping his dark eyes.

"Yesterday…" he continued, "you could have been killed".

"But I wasn't" Carter said… "Because of you Luka… you protected me" Carter continued, while wiping Luka's tears away.

"I'm very happy you asked me to come here," Carter said softly, trying to convince Luka.

"I missed you Luka," he said, making Luka look back at him.

They gazed into each other's eyes and kissed again. Carter felt his whole body trembling and his mind playing with him. The kiss was so intense, he almost felt as if he was freefalling from a 10-story building. He gasped for air and felt dizzy when Luka broke off the kiss and smiled at him while trying to catch his own breath. They wanted each other so badly, they were aroused to the point of pain, but they both knew that they couldn't do anything so close to the camp, where people could discover them easily. So eventually Luka got up and extended his hand to Carter. They walked back to the camp, hand in hand and with giddy smiles on their lips.

Once they got to Luka's tent, Luka opened the tent for Carter who smilingly stepped inside followed closely by Luka. Once inside the tent they started kissing hungrily and Carter began caressing Luka's strong chest. Carter pulled Luka's shirt off him and Luka began unbuttoning Carter's shirt too. Their ragged breathing and small moans were the only sounds filling the tent. Carter moaned softly when Luka caressed his firm chest and hard nipples.

"I want you so much Luka," he moaned huskily and with his eyes shut tight.

"I want you too," Luka said hoarsely when Carter began stroking his lower belly, feeling the tight muscles and the fine sprinkling of dark hair.

They gazed into each other's eyes again seeing complete and utter desire. But their gaze also held something else. Carter felt his heart beating out of control and he blushed and smiled at Luka. Even though they were both bursting with desire, a desire that had been built up gradually for the last week or so, they didn't want to rush things. They had plenty of time. Or so they thought. Gillian interrupted them suddenly. Luckily they were attentive enough to hear her alcohol slurred voice outside the tent and they let go of each other, covering up their erections. Gillian stumbled inside the tent, drunk and looking at them suspiciously. She was clearly surprised to see Carter there. But she was drunk and wanted Luka and she wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"So what are the two of you doing?" she asked with a grin.

Luka couldn't help smiling and Carter was smiling too, looking at the ground to prevent revealing the desire which was so evident in his eyes. Luka cleared his throat and finally managed to say:

"We were just talking Gillian".

Carter, thinking that he didn't want Gillian to pry in what he and Luka had just started, stood up and said

"Yeah we were… but it's late so I should probably go and get some sleep now. Goodnight Luka".

He said the last line looking at Luka with a twinkle in his eyes. He nodded and simply said

"Gillian" and then left the tent.

Lying awake in his own tent, Carter was a little nervous that Gillian would come on to Luka. But he knew that Luka wouldn't sleep with her. He smiled to himself when he heard Luka's voice saying goodnight to Gillian, and Gillian was clearly disappointed that Luka had turned her down. Carter fell asleep, dreaming about lying next to Luka.
