The BLTS Archive - The Serpent's Seduction by BGM (bgmanic@gmail.com) --- /Elokim - Kardasi for 'my love' - literally it means 'you who bind my heart'/ --- "Don't even breathe." The voice was sharp, authoritative ... Julian felt compelled to heed the warning, even as he felt a hand engulf his neck. He bent his head back, the fingers at his throat stroking his flesh in an almost affectionate manner. "Elim ..." Julian breathed, his voice quivering. Wordlessly, the Cardassian raised his hand further, caressing the line of his jaw, stroking the lobe of his ear. Two fingers came to rest at his temple and he whispered, "I was certain I'd told you not to utter a sound ... a breath." Julian closed his eyes and felt himself transported to another reality. He was never sure if it was because of Garak's pheromones, or the heat of their usual encounters. Ever since he and his friend had taken the next steps into a relationship, Julian felt his reality fracture into oblivion whenever Garak touched him. The Cardassian was not a rough lover, contrary to Julian's speculations. In fact, he was very tender. The power came from his words, the promise of danger in his eyes. They both knew such promises would never be fulfilled, but there was an element of desire and excitement at the possibilities. Garak walked leisurely toward Julian's front, never breaking his touch. They were in full view of public curiosity, though Bashir had come not to mind. His relationship with Garak was just another one to add to station gossip and nothing more. Garak had decided to surprise him at the entrance of his shop today, and Bashir remained frozen with desire as his lover stared at him with his penetrating eyes. "I had a dream of you last night." Those eyes flickered, shifted to the doctor's neck, his chest, appraising him with the languidity of a more powerful predator. He trailed his hand down to Julian's chest. "Shall I tell you about it?" he asked, almost musing to himself. Julian regarded him with voiceless desire. "Come, follow me. I have something to show you." Julian blinked and followed Garak to the back of his shop. Before they entered the back room, Garak turned to face him and asked, "Do you trust me?" There was no hesitation. "Yes." Garak inhaled sharply. "With your life, perhaps. But with your body?" Julian puzzled at the question. "With everything of mine," he said firmly. The Cardassian smiled, and his eyes filled with a hunger that was to be sated immediately. Julian closed his eyes as Garak fell upon him, lips crushing his, desire overpowering even him. They indulged in the moment, and when Julian snaked his hands down to unclasp the tailor's trousers, Garak stilled his fingers and parted from him. "Soon." He took his hand and guided him to the back room. "I want to make sure you understand where we are going. I would never submit you to what I am about to in reality. This ... is strictly for us to enjoy." While Julian wondered what Garak meant, the Cardassian approached his console and initiated a site-to-site transport. Their world soon materialized into a wide, blank holosuite. "Computer, initiate Garak 012, alpha lock black." The chamber shimmered and transformed into a magnificent hall held up by great arching cloisters. Eerie chants wafted in the background as Garak moved to the center of the hall where a large oblong table was situated. On it, drapes of luxurious crimson satin was held together by stone vases from which black flowers spilt. They looked and smelled like tulips, but Julian had never seen them so dark before. Between these vases there was space enough for two, and pillows at one end of the table. In the pale light of candles, the altar looked more like an inviting bed. Garak paused behind it and patted the drapes invitingly. "What's-" Julian abruptly closed his mouth when Garak held up his finger at his lips. He moved slowly toward him, then sat upon the edge, surprised at the softness of the cloth. He could barely feel the stone beneath them. Garak helped him to lie back, splaying his hand upon his chest as he did so. When Bashir's head touched the pillow, Garak had already opened the seam of his uniform and was caressing his bare chest underneath his shirt. Julian moaned voluptuously, arching his back as he begged for more contact with his eyes. Garak smiled enigmatically, motioning to the darkened corners of the room. Four men draped in dark burgundy cloaks approached the altar, their heads covered by shimmering chainmail. Julian hesitated for a moment, then saw the question in Garak's eyes. Had he not said he trusted Garak? Had he not said he trusted him with everything of him, including his body? The question was squelched by more pressing matters, and Garak bent down to kiss him thoroughly, stroking the doctor's chest and stomach, caressing further down with each engulfing kiss. The men around them moved, each taking on a task of disrobing the doctor. One carefully removed his boots, the other worked on the clasps of his trousers, another still on his shirt. They worked quietly and efficiently, never once disrupting the lovers as they kissed. "My dream," Garak whispered, so low Bashir had to strain to hear, "was that of you, giving yourself over to the Body Slaves of Minhrah for me. You were luxurious, Julian," he whispered, combing back the young man's hair and appraising his golden flesh. "You adored me through them ... you gave everything of yourself for me ... I watched as they desired you, as they took you and brought you to unending pleasure. And all the while you watched me, channeling all of that desire to me ..." Garak succumbed to another kiss as the Body Slaves began to divest Garak of his own clothes. "This night, they are here to service us together, elokim. Because you trust me as I trust you, with everything of my body and spirit." The Body Slaves moved slowly around them as Garak mounted the altar. Kneeling facing each other, Garak and Julian caressed and kissed. The chants flared, but were now unheard and forgotten. Julian sighed and moaned. Countless hands moved over their entwined bodies, enhancing their pleasure, their desire. It was an eerie, faeric display as the Body Slaves divested their own robes, revealing androgynous Cardassians. Soon all four were on the table, surrounding them with their own desire and longing. But to the lovers in the middle, they were mere extensions of their own ecstasy as they lost themselves to each other. --- The End
