“Come on in,” Colby invited.
Don got to his feet, groaning. His body was not used to this kind of
abuse. Actually, a soak in a tub sounded
wonderful.
The tile of the bathroom was cool on his feet but plumes of
steam were rising from the tub. Colby was
already in the large jacuzzi tub, leaning against the
back and stretched out along the length.
Don shut the bathroom door to keep the steam in and carefully stepped
into the tub. With a hiss at the heat,
Don slid into the water. He settled
against Colby, his back against Colby’s chest and stretched out his legs.
Colby draped a wet arm around Don’s shoulders and kissed his
right ear. “Relax,” he murmured.
Taking a deep breath then blowing it out, Don let himself
relax.
“Better?” Colby asked.
“Yeah,” Don sighed.
“Though I’m gonna get back at him.”
“No doubt,” Colby said, and Don could hear the grin in his
voice. “I’m sure he’s worrying exactly
how right now.”
“Let him worry,” Don said, closing his eyes and resting his
head against Colby’s broad shoulder.
They soaked in silence for a few minutes and Don’s breathing
returned to normal. His orgasm followed
by that kind of fight reaction had exhausted him.
Don had almost drifted off to sleep when Colby softly
touched his cheek with a wet finger.
“You know,” Colby said.
“It wasn’t easy for me to deal with either. I don’t mean the stupid gun thing, I mean the sex, having sex with a guy.”
Don came back awake.
Colby was giving him a chance to ask questions, questions that Don
needed to understand the answers to.
“So why did you?” Don asked.
Colby laughed, and Don enjoyed feeling the rumble of his
laughter through his body. “David can be
very persuasive, as you know and …” Colby added. “He got me drunk.”
Don frowned. “You
were drunk?”
“Yeah, but not enough that I didn’t know what I was
doing. Just enough to
make me forget I’d have to face myself in the morning.”
“Did you regret it?”
“Hell, yeah.” Colby’s fingers trailed idly along Don’s
chest under the water. “You gotta
remember my background. The army doesn’t
look kindly on same-sex stuff. It was
hammered into us constantly about how bad it was.”
“But you did it again.”
“Yeah,” Colby said wryly, “The next night. I couldn’t forget how damn good it made me
feel. It’s David who’s put the
restrictions on when and where. If he’d
let me, I’d be at his apartment every weekend.”
“Really?”
“Well, that would be if I actually had any weekends.”
‘There’s that.”
“But,” Colby sighed, “It’s probably wise. We have a good team and I’d hate to mess that
up because I needed to get my rocks off.”
“Don’t you have a girlfriend?”
“Had
a girlfriend. She broke up with
me. Said she wanted someone more
‘emotionally accessible.’”
“Ouch.”
“And wouldn’t take off in the middle of
dates all the time.”
“That too,” Don said sadly.
“Not the easiest job to have relationships with.”
“Nope.”
Don turned his head to look at Colby. “Having a relationship with another agent is
not a good answer either.”
“No. It’s just—never mind.”
Don frowned, not sure if he should press. Colby seemed to be taking this more seriously
than David. “So this … relationship
works for you?”
“Better than nothing,” Colby sighed.
Colby looked so resigned that Don reached up and kissed
him. “Damn, Granger, you deserve
better.”
“You offering?” Colby said, trying for a joking tone, but
failing.
“Colby …” Don said.
He didn’t know what to say. When
had this moved from pure fun to an emotional minefield?
“Forget it,” Colby said, and gave Don a tight hug. “You’re actually not my type, not most days.”
Don raised his eyebrows.
“What’s your type?”
“Someone who doesn’t need handcuffs to let me kiss him,”
Colby teased, his voice still a little shaky.
“Him?”
Colby didn’t look at Don, just rubbed his thumb down Don’s
arm. “I’ve always been kind of afraid of
gay men, like they could infect me or something. I wonder now if it wasn’t that I feared that
I could be like them.”
“But David said that you weren’t full gay, just bisexual.”
“Bisexual, probably,” Colby said, “But at the moment I’m
more interested in guys then girls.”
“Oh,” Don said. “I
see.” Lacking anything else to say, he
turned and settled himself back against Colby’s chest.
“It might swing back the other way,” Colby said and Don
could feel his shrug. “Though
I don’t know when. See, I have a
friend—“ He quickly
added, “No one you know.”
Too
quickly? Don wondered.
“I have a friend,” Colby continued, “That I’ve come to
realize I would like to be more than a friend.
He isn’t gay though, so I’m kind of stuck. Sometimes it’s hard to even be around him
because I want to touch him so badly.”
“Is this supposed to be encouraging?” Don asked.
“I’m just telling you that it’s changed my whole
perspective.”
“I don’t want my perspective changed.”
Colby laughed wryly. “Too late.”
“Yeah,” Don said. He
ran his fingers through the water, staring at the ripples that spread out until
they hit the side of the tub. “So what
do I do now?”
Colby rested his cheek against Don’s hair for a long moment
before replying. “Well, first thing is you forget that I got all sappy on you. Call it a moment of sex-induced weakness. Must be a biochemical
reaction.”
“I know,” Don said, relieved. “If the sex is good, I always think I’m in
love with the girl.”
The smile returned to Colby’s voice. “And if the sex is incredible?”
Don turned in Colby’s arms and grinned at him. “Then I absolutely adore him.” He kissed Colby firmly. “Worship the ground he walks on.” Another kiss. “Want to bear his children.”
Colby laughed and pulled Don in tighter. His tongue explored Don’s mouth and his hands
roamed Don’s body under the water. Don
rubbed against Colby, enjoying the slide of skin against skin. His body wasn’t going to be ready for
anything else for a long time but he could still appreciate the contact.
Colby touched Don’s scratchy cheek and said, “You really
need to shave.”
“I know. Just wasn’t
much into looking in the mirror this morning.”
“Let me do it,” Colby
blurted.
Don raised his eyebrows.
“What, shave?”
“Yeah.” Colby hesitated then continued, “Have you
ever had a real old-fashioned shave?”
“You mean with a razor?”
“I mean with a straight-edged razor.”
Don shook his head.
Colby smiled. “It’s a
thing I picked up from an old army sergeant.
It’s nice.”
“Um, sure.”
Colby’s eyes lit up.
“You’ll like it.”
Don smiled to see the delight return to Colby’s face and
asked, “Is this some weird fetish thing?”
“Dunno,” Colby said. “It
never occurred to me to do before.” He
grinned. “You’re a man that inspires
creativity.”
“That’s … a good thing?”
Don asked.
“Oh
yeah.”
With laughter and a fair amount of sloshing, they got out of
the tub and toweled off. Don went to
find his underwear and jeans while Colby got his stuff. Don noticed that the door to the other room
was still shut, and probably still locked, David safely on the other side. Don smirked to himself. Let him
sweat.
Don pulled his underwear and jeans over his damp legs,
leaving his shirt off for now. He
grabbed a chair from next to the table and carried it into the bathroom. Colby had pulled on his own jeans and was
opening a black leather case. He slid
out a silver shape and opened it to reveal a wicked-looking blade.
“Yikes,” Don said.
“You’ve never done this to someone else before?”
“Nope,” Colby said cheerfully. “But I don’t cut myself, any more.”
“Any more,” Don said, “Uh-huh.” Still, he set the chair in the center of the
large bathroom and sat down.
Colby got out a rectangular stone and began to sharpen the
razor with expert strokes. Don relaxed a
little, seeing Colby’s skill. Colby then
pulled out a leather strap and attached it to the bathroom doorknob. He drew the razor back and forth along it,
flipping it with each stroke. He moved
to the sink and ran water over his thumb, then he
pressed the thumb lightly against the very sharp edge. Nodding, he wiped off his hand and set down
the blade.
Opening his bag, Colby pulled out a short, wide mug and a
black-handled shaving brush. He turned
on the tap water until steam started to rise from the sink then held the brush
in hot stream. When the brush was wet to
his satisfaction, he swirled it in the mug and it came out heavy with soap.
“Lean your head back,” Colby said and Don complied. Colby wet a washcloth and dampened Don’s face
with hot water. Then he swirled the
lather on in circular motions. Don felt
himself relaxing with the warmth and the soft stroke of the brush across his
cheeks and chin. The soap had a
pleasant, citrusy smell that Don recognized from Colby’s skin.
Colby set the brush down and reached for the blade. Don closed his eyes as the sharp rectangular
blade came closer. I trust Colby, he reminded himself.
Colby started on Don’s left cheek and shaved downward. The blade slid smoothly over Don’s skin, with
a sensuous glide. Colby moved slowly but
confidently. Between every few strokes,
he rinsed the blade in the sink.
Don kept his eyes closed.
There was something exciting about the blade against his skin. Part of it was that it felt so intimate. A bigger part of it was he knew that Colby
could kill him very easily. Those strong
hands had been trained to kill with far less, and knew exactly how and where to
cut for instant death or a long bloody one. Don remembered suddenly how Larry had told him
that Colby had demonstrated on him how to cut a man’s jugular vein.
I trust him. Still Don couldn’t help it – he held his
breath as that blade slid over his throat.
Colby finished with the first pass and lathered Don’s face
again. This time he shaved from the neck
upwards. Don tried hard not to flinch as
the blade skimmed over his exposed jugular.
Don felt a cool washcloth and opened his eyes. He watched Colby’s face as Colby gently
rinsed the last of the lather from Don’s skin.
Colby looked flushed and pleased.
Did he really mean it
earlier, when he asked if I was offering to be in a relationship with him? Don swallowed. Biochemical
reaction, that’s all.
Colby tipped some liquid into his hand then patted Don’s
face. There was a slight sting, but no
more than when Don shaved himself with his clunky electric razor. The aftershave smelled cool and crisp,
completing the Colby smell in Don’s mind.
‘There,” Colby said.
“See what you think.”
Don ran his hand across his face. It felt as smooth as if he was a hairless boy
again. “Whoa, nice.”
“Told ya. Might get you hooked on it yourself.”
“Naw, takes too much time.” Don stood up and stretched. “Besides, I’m not nearly as good with a blade
as you are.”
Colby took Don’s face in his hands, turning it back and
forth to check his work. Satisfied, he
pulled Don towards him and kissed him deeply, stroking Don’s cheeks with his
hands. Breaking off, he rubbed his
cheek against Don’s. “Now you won’t be
scratching my face.” He pulled back and grinned. “Or any other part of my
body.”
Don reached for him and pulled him hard against his
body. He was reminded that they were
both still shirtless and he ran his hands up and down Colby’s bare back while
he kissed his neck and face. Colby’s
hands roamed Don’s back and shoulders and he rubbed his chest against Don’s.
Incredibly, Don felt his body heating up. “God, you guys are
going to kill me,” he murmured against Colby’s neck. “I’m not a teenager anymore. I think my balls are sucked dry.”
“I doubt it,” Colby said, running his hand over Don’s
crotch. “But maybe a longer break is a
good idea.”
Don was both relieved and disappointed when Colby moved away
and began cleaning up his shaving supplies.
Don wandered out of the bathroom and located his T-shirt, which had been
tossed aside during earlier play. He
tugged it on and looked at the closed door to the next room. He was still angry with David, but he’d pay
him back later. He knocked on the door.
“It’s unlocked,” David called from inside.
Don opened the door and David looked up. David had taken all the sheets off of the
messy bed and was sitting on the bare mattress, watching TV. He was also naked, since his clothes had been
locked on the other side of the door.
“Enjoy your Time-Out?”
Don said lightly.
David eyed him, trying to gauge his mood. Don let himself smile then wondered what was
in his smile that made David look uneasy.
“Figured we’d watch the last Die Hard movie,” Don said and stepped
away from the door.
Colby walked out of the bathroom as David slowly entered the
room from the other side. Colby waved
him in and said, “You’re on probation.”
David nodded and began looking for his clothes.
Coming close to Don, Colby murmured. “Are you sure you want him here?”
Don shrugged. “He
can’t stay in there all night.”
Colby’s lips twisted.
“Sure he can.”
“It’s okay,” Don assured him. “I can handle him.”
Colby smiled. “No doubt.” He
reached for Don’s hands. “I need to get
more salve on those wrists.”
Don let Colby lead him back to the bathroom and Colby’s
gentle fingers soothed and wrapped his wounds.
“No more handcuffs,” Colby said softly. “No matter how much you beg.”
Don gave him a half-smile.
“Okay.”
They watched the third movie, though in Don’s opinion the
first was still the best. He and Colby
lay snuggled together on the bed, while David sat, exiled, on the couch. When the credits began to roll, Don let
himself close his eyes. He felt
comfortable and warm in Colby’s arms.
Colby laid a blanket over the two of them and, with a sigh, pulled Don
tighter. Don sunk into sleep.
Don was woken by a tantalizing smell. He
opened his eyes to see David set several white paper bags down on the table.
David looked over at him.
“You’re finally awake.”
“Yeah, well, I needed the rest.” Don grinned at him. David smiled back a little uncertainly.
Don realized that he was lying on Colby’s bare chest. Colby had one arm around Don and with his
other hand was holding a magazine.
“Hello, sleepyhead,” Colby said.
Don smiled up at Colby and stretched luxuriously. It was rare he got a nap in the middle of the
afternoon. He felt damn good.
His anger at David’s little gun joke had blasted like clean
air through his head. Colby’s gentle
ministrations had settled him, centered him.
I can handle this … this new
awareness. One day at a time. Tomorrow, the bank and McCarty. Tonight? Well, there’s still a lot of tonight left to
go.
He dropped a kiss on Colby’s chest and slid out of the
bed. He padded over to the table and
inspected the bags.
“Restaurant got its oven started,” David said. “Cheeseburgers and fries for everyone.”
“Oh good,” Don said, “I’m starving.”
David laughed and shook his head. “Cold must really make you hungry.”
“Cold and sex,” Don said lightly. He ignored the look that flashed between
David and Colby and dug into the nearest bag.
Burning his fingers slightly, he pulled out three burgers and arranged
them on the table. There was something
at the bottom of the bag.
“Honey packets?” he asked David. “You eat honey on your hamburger?”
“Naw,” David said. “I
just saw them and thought … they might come in handy.”
“I see,” Don said. He
got three beers from his 7-11 haul and popped the lids off. He set a beer in front of David and handed
another to Colby who had put on his shirt and was pulling out a chair.
David tore open the other bag to reveal a massive mound of
fries. He pulled the bag apart until it
made a sort of plate. Colby reached for
a handful.
“A toast,” Don said suddenly, holding up his beer.
David and Colby both looked at him then raised their beers
with trepidation. Don put a serious
expression on his face and cleared his throat.
Then he couldn’t hold back the grin.
“To sex,” he announced, “Damn good sex.”
David and Colby laughed and chorused, “To damn good sex.” They clinked beers and drank.
“You seem to be doing a lot better,” Colby said.
“Well, a bath and a shave and a nap can do that.” Don bit into his burger, it was delightfully
greasy. It also helped that the world didn’t come to an end or Internal Affairs
come to drag me to jail.
Around a mouthful, Don said to David, “You should ask Granger
to give you a shave sometime.”
“A shave?” David asked.
“Doubt your goatee would survive though,” Don said.
Colby explained to David about his old-fashioned shaving kit
while Don worked his way through the burger and his third of the fries. It turned out that one of David’s uncles had
been a barber, and David had hung out at his shop a lot, so David and Colby
talked shaving for a while.
Don finished eating first, and leaned back in his
chair. He had a warm glow in his
stomach, and, looking at the two handsome men - and for today, my two lovers
- he began to get a warm glow lower down.
They had exhausted the topic of shaving and had moved on to
what movie to watch tonight. With little
input from Don, they decided on the first Lethal Weapon. Don waited until they both finished their
dinner and pushed back from the table.
Don stood up. “Forget
the movie,” he said firmly. “I think our
little team has a problem. I’m the boss,
and it’s time you both remembered that.”
David raised his eyebrows.
“Oh really?”
“Really,” Don said and grabbed David’s shirt and pulled him
out of the chair. Surprised, David
stumbled and Don pushed him backwards until he hit the bed with his legs. Another shove and David landed on the bed on
his back. Don dragged him farther onto
the bed and climbed on top of him. He
braced one hand on each of David’s arms, pinning him to the mattress. He leaned down until he was two inches from
David’s face.
“Sinclair,” Don murmured.
“You are in a shitload of trouble.”
David’s eyes went wide.
