The BLTS Archive - Ego and Wanting third in the Dark Waters series by Sileya (sileyathesultry@gmail.com) --- Spoilers: There are some flashes from scenes in episodes, but I don't know which episodes and they don't really reveal anything, so it shouldn't be a problem. Disclaimers: Paramount is God, we are prostrate before the altar, all we borrow is yours, and we gain nothing from it. Amen. This story contains descriptions of relations between men which some people may find (ahem) objectionable. If that's the case, then don't read this story. But I think you'll regret missing it. Archiving: Anywhere, just keep disclaimers and my name on it. Thanks. Author's Note: Callie requested "A serious Tu/C with plot." Here it is. This is the third section of "Dark Waters"...it's not over yet. You need to read the first two for this part to make sense. At the very least you need to read part 2. Special Thanks: To Pamela, Gayle, Carola, Latifah, Katisha, Jen and everyone else who has been hounding me to keep writing on this series. I promise the next part won't take 3 hours (and nine months) to write. To think, it only took an influx or TERRIBLY tuppery Sentinel slash to kick me into gear. Warnings: Angst and anger issues, borderline non-consensual and violent sexual situations. Hang on to your panties, it's going to get worse. This takes place immediately following events in "Melt Into Me." --- Amid the applause and laughter, Chakotay's smile matched the brightness of the warp core. The confetti flew about him, and time slowed...and as if in slow motion, he laughed as B'Elanna broke the champagne against the railing, his eyes glittering in the light, the warmth of his happiness turning onto Kathryn as she touched his arm, laughing as well, full of the greatness of the moment, full of the ambiance around them as the crew celebrated their newest chance to get home. (flash) Chakotay contentedly looked about the room at Neelix's party, happy to see the crew enjoying itself, breaking down the barriers as civilian clothing had been made the norm rather than the rule...even Kathryn wore an outfit of china white, relaxing quite a bit for her. His eyes shone with warmth as he raised his glass in a a toast to their lost home. (flash) Tears warred with smiles as the crew celebrated at Kes' wake. Everyone loved the Ocampan deeply, Chakotay among them. But they celebrated earnestly, knowing that in her transformation she had pushed them so much closer to home. The room was hushed, but the air warm as drinks were passed and memories shared, Neelix leading the way with stories of their antics in the kitchen. Chakotay grinned over one such story, remembering a practical joke on Tom Paris, and the grief lightened a bit as his thoughts turned to her gift and open heart. (flash) Chakotay's eyes closed in pain as he looked across the horribly damaged ship - decks literally torn apart by the Hirogen's plan to expand the holodecks throughout Voyager. But as he looked on, the crew began to emerge, one after another, some in groups, reclaiming what was theirs - their ship, their humanity, their strength. He smiled slightly, the ache of loss lightening in the face of their victory. (flash) Chakotay's hand moved slowly to touch the soft skin of her cheek, turned alabaster in the starlight. Some sense of wonder pervaded his senses as time suspended itself and they joined hands, heads tilting toward each other for a simple kiss, light and quick, then a warm embrace - all for only the stars to see. His heart warmed, knowing that although she was not for him, and he not for her, Kathryn would always be one of his closest friends and confidantes. They turned to look out the portal in the Ready Room, watching the starstuff slip by them, looking into eternity, content with the strength of each others' hearts. (flash) Chakotay moved through the simulation, his training taking over as he faced the programmed threat with swift moves and counterattacks. The computer beeped as he finished successfully, and he glanced to the side, receiving a raised eyebrow and nod from Tuvok, and...was that the ghost of a smile? Chakotay grinned as he received his higher certification in self-defense, his eyes dancing as they met Tuvok's dark eyes, sinking into their warmth, the moment frozen in time. --- Chakotay twitches a bit, shivering, and awakes. --- Tuvok sits sprawled on the floor in the darkness, watching Chakotay sleep and dream as his body curls near the wall, absently floating among the warm emotions emanating to him. A small detached part of him wonders how Chakotay can dream so peacefully. Such a contrast to the haunted man of waking time...the walking ghost of who he had been, tortured by his own mind and actions. His eyes close momentarily to ward off his emotional reaction to the sudden cutting pain, shutting away the reflex only seconds too late as dread curls in his stomach. Knowing no one is watching, Tuvok wraps his arms about his midsection, breathing deeply, trying to focus his mind on warding off the sickening feeling - the memory of violation. He is unsuccessful. Even as he breathes, he can feel the room closing in, the darkness trying to swallow him, pulling him physically closer to Chakotay, his body powerless to resist. Tuvok draws in a sharp breath and again closes his eyes, fighting vertigo. When he reopens them, he flinches to see himself crawling toward Chakotay's side, the sleeping man now awake, looking up at him through sleepy eyes, eyes for only swift moments clear of the haunting pain...but they begin to cloud. Tuvok watches the pain reawaken in Chakotay, watches it reassert its hold on the man, breaking his confidence and security. Chakotay opens his eyes to see Tuvok flinch as he sits near him, and the bile rises in his throat, the burning begins again in his chest. Guilt sits heavily on his sternum, making every breath a struggle, every breath painful. His eyes cloud with darkness, filtering the starlight. Tuvok strains to control his emotions, the pain of his rape crying inside his mind, the guilt at his failure clawing at his throat, the raging turmoil burning in his gut, the turgid heat pooling between his legs...all hallmark of the new vicious link stretching tenuously between himself and Chakotay. The man he had tried to help, only to abuse. Chakotay swallows, returning the burning feeling to his stomach. He watches the play of emotion through Tuvok's stony eyes, seeing the affect he has on him. For a moment he feels displaced, wavering out of himself, and he jerks as though he can feel the constriction of Tuvok's chest, the pain that aches there. He blinks and in a quiet rush flies back into his mind. His eyes widen and he looks at Tuvok with a question, some kind of surprised horror rising there at what he had done to the man who tried to help him. Tuvok looks back at him, knowing he can't shield that emotion from Chakotay. To do so would only damage them both further, some quiet, detached part of him counsels. With a breath of angry resolution, he loosens his hold on the feelings raging through him, pushing them through the bastard bond to Chakotay as his hand touches Chakotay's arm with flashing heat....and he feels as if he is jumping off into the blind, dark chasm. Chakotay flinches then, as the flash of heat sears through his arm where Tuvok touches him, and suddenly - he knows. He feels. And the horizon opens as their thoughts and emotions war together. Chakotay cries aloud inside, realizing again just what he has done. He attacked Tuvok - pushing all the violent emotions of lust and wanting upon him during that brief meeting of minds. He dragged Tuvok into his own nightmares, selfishly punishing him, raping him of his own singularity. He can feel the confusion curling dark and sharp in Tuvok's mind. He swallows, tasting the sense of guilt and failure that preys upon the dark Vulcan. His body clenches as he could lives the reeling surprise at the violation of his mind, the loss of control. He suffers the pain of lust forced upon him, the insidious pleasure coursing through him like a forbidden drug, and the foreignness of this hot, searing wanting. The wanting. Chakotay stops still, his whole mind focusing on that one revelation. The wanting. The strange feel of it, the hiss of its tendrils wrapping about him. Feeling the oddity of it among other suppressed emotions, taking control. He can feel it rushing through his veins, feel it as it sublimates all other thoughts and emotions. He can feel it sucking away his control - and then he knows. This is how Tuvok feels. The moment stills, both of them still in their shock, Chakotay feeling Tuvok's horror at his loss of control, Tuvok feeling Chakotay's confusion and loss of self. They cannot pull away as minutes passed, Chakotay trying to withdraw into himself, yet Tuvok will not let go. Finally, as their minds struggle to pull apart and be separate again, a harsh sound echoes in the room. "I raped you." The men look at each other, the pain searing through them, the words torn from both raw throats simultaneously, echoing each other. The words float sour in the air, the warmth of the room oppressive. Finally Tuvok summons strength from somewhere deep within himself, trying to admit what was most painful to him, to let it out, to study it distractedly. To release the pain the cut away inside him. "No - I...lost control." Chakotay flinches. "The hell with that - I abused you." He jerks away, retreating back against the wall. Tuvok takes another breath, shifting his balance when Chakotay moves. "I was trying to assist you." Chakotay's mouth curls down at one corner. "And I took advantage of you." Tuvok ever so slowly shakes his head back and forth. "I was..." he stops, unable to articulate. A ragged release of breath filled the room. "...trying to help me. I know..." comes the quiet admission. Tuvok looks up, trying to shield and swallow the confusion that fills his hollow mind, yet there is not enough space for him to wrap around it and understand it. Chakotay's chest aches as he watches the Vulcan try to understand. Tuvok shakes his head. "I should have been fine. It was a simple...exercise." Chakotay shakes his head in disagreement. Tuvok folds his arms as he remains kneeling. "I am not subject to carnal desire and wanting." he nearly whispers. "I am bonded, I am secure." "I am bonded, I am secure." "I am bonded, I am secure." "Tuvok - stop it!" Tuvok breaks out of his trance, looking up at Chakotay, a wounded hurt appearing in his eyes, naked. "Tuvok..." Chakotay shifts to lean against the wall. "You had no idea that...I harbored such feelings." His hands cover his face for a moment, wondering where the fear had gone. Now he only feels empty. "You were understandably surprised." Tuvok continue to look at him, almost vacantly. "Tuvok, just listen..look at me. Please." Tuvok blinks and focuses on Chakotay's haggard face, head tilting a bit. He pulls the tattered shreds of his control about him. Chakotay looks at Tuvok. "I hurt you, I know." Tuvok freezes for a moment, warring against his instinctual answer before whispering, "Yes." Chakotay releases his pent-up breath, somehow relaxed by that admission. "I know it won't help, but I apologize." Tuvok does not reply, sorting through what he feels about this. He was not physically harmed - indeed, nothing physical had occurred. It was all in their heads. The motions, the movements, the searing passion that still echoed between them. Hands lifting to sit upon his knees, Chakotay watches the man only a few feet away, the hot liquid pool of wanting settling upon him once again as he looks over his body. Chakotay closes his eyes against it, and says, "I want you. I still want you." Tuvok shakes his head slightly. "I do not understand." he murmurs lightly. Chakotay opens his eyes, trying to push away the anger. "By the Spirits, Tuvok! I want you. It's simple. Want. Lust. I want to possess you, over and over..." he stops where he had crawled over to the Vulcan, their eyes meeting. Tuvok holds his breath, remaining still, his control over his body not reaching his eyes, which flashes both with remembered passion and confused pain. "Tuvok - you can't tell me you don't know what it feels like. Didn't you ever want your wife? You went through Pon Farr..." he whispers darkly. Tuvok nods. "Yes...Pon Farr. The lust is so burning that it will consume you from inside lest it is quenched, over and over. Yes - I felt that passion for my wife." he replies. Chakotay nods, rejecting any semblance of pride. "And so I want you." Tuvok meets Chakotay's eyes, and some time passes before he can pull together a coherent answer from the flurry of warring emotion and discipline. "Before I would have said it is illogical." he murmurs. "I can no longer discern what is your feeling and what is mine. It is all too...much." he drops his head. "I...must meditate..." "Tuvok - please, we have to talk about this...what I did to you..." Chakotay's voice turns almost desperate. "What I did to you was in my mind. You were drawn in - I forced myself on you in our minds...I couldn't..." Chakotay swallows and continues, his voice thick with guilt, "I couldn't help myself. I've wanted you for so long." Tuvok opens his eyes to look at Chakotay's tortured eyes. "I did not want you." The words echo in the silent room as Chakotay's chest burns with the guilt that cuts straight through his abdomen, a physical pain deflating what passion had pooled there. Tuvok repeats, "I did not want you." Chakotay crumbles, his arms supporting his head on the floor where he kneels, sorrow rising to close his throat. Tuvok whispers again, "I did not want you." He wars with the compassion that flares within him - the compassion and knowledge of his mental power that got him into this mess to begin with. His...ego. His ego which told him he could help Chakotay with his problems. His ego that told him he could easily resist and conquer the emotions that tore so openly through the officer curled on the floor next to him. Chakotay's mind closes upon itself, having faced the harsh reality that what had consumed him, what had filled him with such mind-searing pleasure, would never be possible. Rejection consumes him. Tuvok stands woodenly, automatically pulling at his uniform. He stares out the viewport, lost deep in thoughts of self-preservation and guilt. Tuvok realizes, out of nowhere, a fact he had refused to see before...that this predicament wasn't Chakotay's fault alone. His own ego had led to the rape of his mind. He wonders absently, why he had allowed it. Why he had allowed himself to be possessed. Why he had allowed himself to sink into the roiling emotion - actions so totally unlike a Vulcan, so totally against his training. His thoughts, running in circles, suddenly scurry and stop at an empty hole. An empty hole of loneliness. He draws a swift breath. Lonely. Alone. Tuvok's eyes close damp. His bonded - so far away - practically gone. His bond nurtured only through meditation and force of will...no echo of her mind remained. He had not allowed himself to admit that their bond had strained to the point of breaking. That it was, for all purposes, broken. That he was separated from his mate's calming influence. That he would likely never feel her again in his mind. The gaping wound of separation grows now that it is recognized. A breath rattles through his chest as Tuvok realizes he had stopped breathing. Surprise rushes through him. "I want to live." Tuvok realizes silently. His admittance leads on. "I ...I allowed this to happen." His stunned intellect takes a back seat to the war of emotions. "Could I have brought this upon myself? Did I want it?" he shakes his head. He doesn't know what he wants. But he wants something, and the chance to help someone gives him the chance to be of use, to be needed. Needed. Wanted. His resolve collapses. Tuvok whispers. "I wanted to be wanted." Chakotay barely looks up at the new words. "What?" he grates. "I wanted to be wanted." Tuvok's admission floods him with learned guilt, but he pushes it away. "I didn't want you - I wanted to be wanted. I...allowed it to happen because I wanted to be wanted." Chakotay stares at him, stunned at the words. "But...you're bonded." Tuvok shakes his head slowly. "It has not been sufficient for some time. Vulcans suppress emotion. We are not totally without it." Chakotay shakes his head again. "I don't understand." Tuvok looks at Chakotay intently. "Neither do I." He stands stiffly. "Tuvok, you can't take blame in this." Tuvok closes his eyes. "I am not speaking of blame. I speak of want. Of need." "Tuvok, I'm sorry - it just doesn't make any sense. I'm the one here who wants..." "Chakotay." Surprised by the sound of his name, Chakotay looks to Tuvok, seeing some measure of calm settling on the Vulcan's face. "I tried to help you, because I wanted to be wanted. That led to our...indiscretion." A bubble of laughter threatens to escape Chakotay's throat. "Indiscretion?" Tuvok shrugs. Chakotay moves closer, and closer yet, standing behind the Vulcan, finally grasping Tuvok's shoulders. "You call that...violent, passionate mental...rape...an indiscretion?" he murmurs, voice unbelieving. "I no longer call it rape." Tuvok responds quietly, not moving away from Chakotay. Chakotay's head tilts. "No longer." he repeats. "There is no doubt, it was a violation. But I would not call it rape. I...took part." "Took part..." Chakotay breathes, his breath hot upon the back of Tuvok's neck. Shivers pass through Tuvok's body, barely suppressed. Tuvok takes a sharp breath. "I am your counselor." "Not anymore." Chakotay replies sharply, hard decision shooting steel through his voice. Tuvok turns his head a bit. "What do you mean?" "We're in this together now - both of us. Forget how we got here - but we're here now. And you're not my counselor. Not anymore." Chakotay relays softly, a near growl rousing in his throat. Tuvok nods. "That is probably for the best. Someone else will provide more adept counseling. I...will remove myself from the case." "No. You won't." Tuvok frowns slightly. "Chakotay." "You're not going anywhere. We're going to work this out, damnit. Whether you accept it or not." Chakotay's hands smooth down each of Tuvok's arms before returning to his shoulders. "This should not continue." Tuvok states quietly. "Probably not." Chakotay accedes. "But it's going to." Tuvok turns about quickly, only the meet the steely resolve in Chakotay's eyes. Confusion rears again. Chakotay moves his hands to Tuvok's chest, removing the communicator and tossing it aside. He removes his own as well, discarding it in similar fashion. Tuvok watches. "Chakotay - what are you doing?" he asks quietly, although his discipline and control scream at him to remove himself. Chakotay looks to him, and pulls the Vulcan against him roughly as he whispers, "You said you didn't want me. Past tense....you also said you want to be wanted." Tuvok echoes, "..want to be wanted..." at a whisper. "Yes, Tuvok." Chakotay answers at a low growl. "I want you. I've wanted you for a long, long time...I've wanted to sit and talk with you about quantum physics the night through...I've wanted your acceptance on the bridge...I've wanted your approval in training...I've wanted to take your body quick and hard against the wall of a freighter..." his whispers grew harsh. "I want you. Isn't that what you want?" Tuvok shudders against Chakotay. "I do not want your passion." he manages to murmur. Chakotay grasps Tuvok between the legs, feeling the Vulcan's swollen cock. "The hell you don't." he murmurs in return, pushing himself against Tuvok's side, the rough contact increasing the rush of heat to his groin. "I want you, Tuvok. That's what you said you wanted," he repeats thickly. Tuvok takes another breath, trying desperately to control himself. "I want to be wanted...but this..." "You can't control this, Tuvok. You have to let it happen. You want to be wanted. Well, here I am." Chakotay cuts in harshly. "Why can't we both be satisfied?" His hands move over Tuvok's erection, kneading through the cloth. Tuvok shakes his head. "This isn't..proper...I am Vulcan." he struggles against the conflicting impulses - to accept being wanted - yet that warred with every bit of Vulcan training he had learned, every bit of poise and decorum. "This isn't in your mind, Tuvok. This is real." Chakotay says. He feels the restrained strength in the Vulcan's body, and it sears him with heat. Pushing away what happened before, he could taste the growing wanting. "You're not my counselor anymore." Tuvok looks at Chakotay, meeting his eyes, his hands meeting Chakotay's hands and stilling them. "This isn't right." he forces through his teeth. Chakotay wavers, his face fierce. "What's the matter, Tuvok? You want to be wanted...but not by me? Or not by a man?" Tuvok flinches. "That is irrelevant." Chakotay sidles against Tuvok, grinding their erections together. "Is it?" he hisses in Tuvok's ear. "Tell me - why is this wrong?" Tuvok draws a hissing breath as sparks shoot through him, the pain in his groin growing more distracting. "I...." the words won't come...he can't articulate. Why is this wrong? he asks himself again, and years of control echo back to him from far away. He shivers. "Tuvok..." Chakotay whispers in his ear, hands pressing against his chest, barely resisting clawing at the seams. "Tuvok - tell me....tell me." Tuvok looks to Chakotay, seeing the pain there. "It isn't...right..." is all he can articulate...but his hands move of their own volition, raising up Chakotay's arms. "You want me..." he whispers, voice bare and strained. "Yes." Chakotay replies, "Yes...I want you - in so many ways." Tuvok shakes his head. "I don't understand." he nearly moans. "By the Spirits!" Chakotay swears harshly. "What is there not to understand? I want YOU. Your body. Your mind. Your strength. Your spirit. Your conviction." he growls. "It's all I know anymore. When Kathryn assigned you as my counselor - I was both thrilled and crushed - thrilled that I would spend time with you - crushed that you would see this as an "official" action!" Chakotay shakes Tuvok slightly by the shoulders. "What don't you get about it?" Tuvok stares at him. "The...depth...of your emotion..." he whispers, swallowing, looking so lost. "I cannot fathom it." Chakotay stands still. "Tuvok.." he shakes his head. "Don't...don't try to understand...don't make me force myself upon you...again." he whispers, the heat flaring in his eyes. "You feel it, don't you. Don't you?" he nearly begs in a harsh, strangled voice. Tuvok tries to take stock of the whirling feelings flashing through his body...and against all judgment, against all sense...nods. "Yes. I...feel it." he reveals nearly soundlessly. At that, Chakotay pushes Tuvok against the wall, holding him by the shoulders, his body fully against the Vulcan's. His mouth pushing at Tuvok's, his tongue invading Tuvok's lips, the hot damp sears even Tuvok's warmer skin. Tuvok struggles somewhat half-heartedly, at war within himself as much as against Chakotay. Chakotay sinks against Tuvok's body, hands tearing at the seams of his jacket, pulling it open and dragging it down his arms, throwing it to the floor. His fingers pull the undershirt from Tuvok's trousers, and splay against the heated skin underneath, grasping. He grinds himself against Tuvok, their erections straining and hard. "Tuvok," he murmurs as he pulls his mouth away to bite at his neck. "I want you." A shudder wracks through the Vulcan as his mind tries to match his thoughts with his feelings - and those words from Chakotay just shake him to the core. His mind screams about the loss of control, but his body, engulfed with the burning wanting, reacts by itself. His hands move to pull at Chakotay's shirt, tearing it open and pushing it to the floor, hands gripping the cool skin of his chest and shoulders as Chakotay's damp mouth leaves a burning trail down his neck and chest. He shudders again, his nipples tauten as Chakotay's tongue lathes them, turning to tight nubs in physical reaction to the stimulus. Chakotay's breaths come faster and his groin tightens with the pain of his erection. He reaches down to free his cock, letting his loose trousers fall to his ankles, and grips himself, groaning. He reaches to Tuvok, unfastening the Vulcan's trousers and pushing them down quickly, moving to grip the Vulcan's slim, dark hips. "Tuvok.." he whispers harshly as he turns the Vulcan to face the wall, "I want you..." he repeats, feeling the shudder wrack the Vulcan's frame. Tuvok's breaths come hard, and he is momentarily stilled as Chakotay turns him against the wall. But those words sounds again, and echo through him, turning him wild..."I want you...I want you..." He shudders, his heated cock pressing against the cool wall, and his pushes his hips out, into Chakotay's hands, reacting mindlessly, control and logic lost in this maelstrom. One last thought of reality echoes in his mind..."This isn't right..." but he ruthlessly shuts it away as he crumbles, succumbing to the wash of Chakotay's desire through his body. Chakotay sucks on his fingers, coating them with saliva, and moves to spread Tuvok's ass. He pushes into the Vulcan, as slowly as he can stand, feeling the muscles strain against him and the tenseness invade Tuvok's back. His fingers pass through, and he begins working them in and out, trying somehow to make this work quickly. He leans forward, kissing and biting Tuvok's neck. "I want you, Tuvok!" he says loudly. The words pass through Tuvok like lightning, and he shakes again, his muscles loosening to let Chakotay's invasion through. The feeling of those fingers just overwhelms him, the crashing waves of passion sapping resistance, the press of his cock against the wall growing unbearable. His lips cannot form words and he moans, desperately. Chakotay hears those moans, and the jolt almost forces him to burst right there...but he resists, gripping Tuvok's body harshly. He spits into his hand, twice, slathering the saliva on his swollen cock, shuddering at the feeling as he strongly strokes himself. Then he moves against Tuvok, pushing his cock into him, some piece of himself urging him to go slowly, the rest of his body screaming at him to pound into the firm ass he has penetrated. He cries aloud softly, the feeling of his cock clasped so tightly in Tuvok's ass just driving him wild. "Tuvok...I want you..." Tuvok leans against the wall, overwhelmed with waves of feeling coursing through him, the feeling of being filled somehow completing that empty hole - he feels overfull but wants more, so much more...and groans...pushing himself back onto Chakotay's cock. He hears Chakotay's choked gasp and pushes further, desiring the feeling of being filled - wanting...wanting..."I want..." he raggedly moans. Chakotay chokes through a gasp as Tuvok pushes back, pulling Chakotay's cock deeper within him till he holds all of him, to the swollen balls. With a growl Chakotay reaches around to grasps Tuvok's cock and starts stroking him hard as he pulls his own cock out of Tuvok's tight hole, and then, with gasping breaths, rams home. Tuvok's cry aloud only encourages him, the burning about his cock and the firm cock in his hand arousing him even more. He pushes in and out of Tuvok's ass, one hand grasping the Vulcan's hip, the other pulling on his lover. He moves harder and faster, his hips beating into Tuvok's. Tuvok hears the cry wrenched from his own lips and cannot understand it. He only understands that he must have more. Chakotay's words echo through him, consuming doubts, for now...and he gives himself over to the animal passion. He reaches down and grasps his own cock, pushing away Chakotay's hand, and strokes himself harder, faster, feeling that burning buzz of orgasm building in his groin. Chakotay moves his hand to Tuvok's hip, holding him on both sides, and pushes harder, his thrusts into Tuvok's ass coming faster, even with his breaths, feeling the burn in his cock grow and overwhelm him. The edge comes too fast, and Chakotay cannot stop, he only thrusts faster, their violent actions beating Tuvok's shoulders into the wall, and he cries his words of want aloud once again as his cock bursts, filling Tuvok with hot come in spurts, his thrusts continuing. Tuvok leans against the wall, one arm bracing himself against Chakotay's violently strong thrusts, the other hand jerking his own cock. He hears those words cried one last time - desperately - as Chakotay explodes into him - the feeling of wet invading his ass, pushing in over and over. The words echo in his head and he comes hard as well, his hand jerking his wet cock against the wall, the ejaculate splattering back against him as he comes hard, over and over, arching his back against Chakotay's hard body. They slump almost immediately, kneeling to the floor before they fall. Chakotay's cock slips from Tuvok's ass, leaving him empty but for the silky wet come that trickles over the heated skin of his ass. A breath shudders through Tuvok's body as the passion flees, leaving him cold. Cold, empty...and alone. Chakotay focuses on breathing, nearly mindless, hands still grasping Tuvok's body. Tiredly he pulls the body against him, resting his head on the floor in exhaustion. Shivers soon wrack Tuvok's body as he realizes what he has done...what he has participated in. The breaths move hollow in his chest as he tries to reconcile his actions. His eyes close tightly in pain and self-loathing at his loss of control over selfish wanting. "It's not right..." he whispers. Chakotay whispers in return, "I want you..." before losing consciousness. Tuvok stiffens, the words echoing like clanging, dissonant bells in his ears. He slowly pulls himself up, and stands, pulling his clothes about him. He looks down at Chakotay as he closes his jacket, and he can feel Chakotay's come slickly running down the backs of his thighs. He turns and moves to the viewport, and stands, arms clasped behind him, staring at his stony visage in the glass. Then his eyes close, and he slowly lowers his forehead against the cool surface. Moments pass and his breaths hitch, his face clenches, and he refuses to look as emotion once again claims him, silent, dry grief tearing at his throat as he sinks to his knees. The moment slows as Tuvok grieves... grieves for the loss of his control. --- continued in the fourth story in the Dark Waters series 'Playing All Sides against The End
