Sleepless
A Little Take Out


Time for a shower," Mulder said, yawning.

"You are pretty sticky," Alex noted. From his reclining position on the bed, he could see the dried, shiny traces of Mulder's pleasure on his muscled flesh.

"I'd say it's pretty obvious then that you didn't lick me enough," Mulder said. He didn't quite pout, but a certain voluptuousness of lower lip was evident.

"That could be implied as a criticism," Alex said back seriously.

"Critique is a nicer word, I think."

Alex, who'd been slowly stretching his arm above him during the conversation, suddenly flipped the pillow out from behind his head and sent it flying at Mulder's own. Its plump mass sailed by Mulder's right ear without quite touching it and whomped gently against the far wall.

"Your firearms instructor would have something to say about that, Alex."

"Hey, it wasn't my gun arm. But if you want to call him, go right ahead. Yes, this is Fox Mulder of the D.C. office, there have been some serious questions raised about the rigor of your trainee instruction—now I have Agent Alex Krycek here with me, we're naked, and he just tried to hit me with a pillow—hello—?"

Mulder laughed. "I wouldn't say it like that. I'd lead up to it, gradually."

"This is very naughty, you know, Mulder." Alex shifted, settling further down into his heaped nest of pillows.

"You need to tell me that?"

"You ever done this before—with another agent?"

Mulder came back to the bed, sat down on the edge facing Alex, with one knee drawn up and his foot resting against the inside of his other thigh.

"A few times," he said. His voice was easy but the expression on his face was that mild, neutral one Alex had come to recognize meant: stay back!

"Come on, Mulder—'Toy Boys in Blue', 'Bottoms with Badges'—don't you have any war stories you want to relate?" Alex plastered an alert and interested expression on his face, and quirked a brow—once, twice, three times—with serious lasciviousness.

"Good trick," Mulder said, smiling and reaching out to stroke a fingertip along the arch of fine hair.

"Evasive action, Mulder." The chide was mocking, knowing.

"Sorry, I just... there's not that much to tell, and it's not something I can talk about. You know that." Mulder's hand, which had slid up to stroke Alex's tousled hair, moved back down the edge of his face, tracing cheekbone, jaw, chin.

Alex's face tightened slightly. "Yeah, well, the bureau would really love this, wouldn't they? Two fuckin' queers shacking up in a hotel room on the old expense account."

"Do you really think of yourself like that, Alex?" Mulder asked quietly, searching the other man's face.

"Don't even start that psychotherapy bullshit with me, Mulder." Angrily, Alex pulled away from Mulder's touch and slid out of the bed. He moved, naked, to the bathroom, but Mulder followed, coming to lean in the bathroom doorway.

Watching me piss. Great. Alex ignored the other man's gaze, but felt the skin of his arms and neck crawl. This is way more intimacy than I need with an investigative target. I am sucha fucking idiot.

"Are you afraid of getting found out?" Mulder asked him conversationally.

It took more self-control than expected for Alex to bite down on his first, reflexive response, which would have been obscene and very likely more revealing than he could afford. He couldn't react too strongly to such comments, though he tended instinctively to read them as threatening. There was no way he would hand Mulder any advantage that might be used against him later. Well, okay, he already had.But he wouldn't hand him any more if he could help it. Suppressed anger nagged and itched at him like a fever, but his face remained cool. He didn't look at Mulder, and when he spoke his tone was carefully offhand. Casual. "Aren't you?"

"Not exactly."

Alex looked at him now. An odd, ironic half-smile had edged its way onto Mulder's face. As naked as Alex, there was something about Mulder to suggest he felt faintly uneasy without clothes, what might have been a vague echo of Puritan discomfort in the posture of his body—arms crossed, shoulders slightly hunched. Despite this, he made no move to cover himself. Masochism or masculine pride, Alex wondered. Maybe both. He was beginning to suspect that Mulder's motives and character could very rarely be isolated and simplified.

"Actually, I've always been out... more or less," Mulder continued.

"Yeah, right, Mulder. You're just brimming with queer spirit." Alex pushed a soapy toothbrush in his mouth, poked it around briefly, then spat. He turned a blunt look on the other man. "Mulder, I didn't even peg you. Not a single blip on the radar. I didn't know until you wanted me to know. And you're going to tell me you're not closeted? Mulder, you're a fucking FBI agent. Give me a break." Alex could see from Mulder's tensing face that he was beginning to get angry.

"Just because I don't fit some preconceived image you have doesn't mean I'm closeted. And being an FBI agent—"

"Means they can fire your flaming ass any time they feel like it," Alex interrupted intensely. He moved closer to Mulder, leaning one hand on the counter, toothbrush gripped in it like a pointer. "Do you realize how easy it would be for them? I could get you kicked out of the bureau, Mulder, you know that, don't you? We're not talking about a letter of censure in your file—you'd be lucky if you pulled a four-bagger. But you wouldn't. They'd kick you out so fast by the time you realized what happened you'd be ten light-years past Voyager and accelerating."

Mulder stared at him, face unreadable but still slightly flushed. "That would be kind of self-defeating, wouldn't it? For you, that is."

"Yeah, it would," Alex said frankly. "And you can bet your cute butt that this isn't going into my autobiography. What I do in bed is nobody's business." Suddenly, he flashed Mulder a smug grin. "Except for those lucky enough to benefit from my generosity."

"Those who survive," Mulder replied, eyelids lowering a notch. His eyes remained cool, his tone ambiguous, but the taut muscles of his face had relaxed again slightly, and there was a tiny twitch in more southerly regions that boded well.

Compliment their ass, Alex thought with satisfaction. Works every time. Quite casually, he let a feather-light glance glide down Mulder's body, then turned away and considered himself in the mirror, rubbing at his jaw and flicking loose hair from his eyes. "You're the one who wanted to play death games, Mulder," he said, making small, skin-pulling faces at himself in the mirror as he spoke. "I just obliged."

"You were very obliging," Mulder said quietly.

Alex watched Mulder's reflection slide into the mirrored world behind him. Mulder's face was reserved—he might have been reading the Timesobituaries for all the excitement his face revealed—but Alex felt a hard, hot press of flesh nudge his ass. He smiled to himself, but didn't let the feeling rise to his lips. "That get you hard, Mulder? The D-word—the final naked-boner, the last big bang?"

"Not really. But every now and then the urge needs to be filled."

"The urge," Alex repeated (rather more dreamily than he realized). He stared at the image of Mulder's dipped head nuzzling his shoulder and wished he had an equally good view of what Mulder's hand was doing. Mulder didn't respond to the echo, but his hand slid lower, and Alex had to grip the edge of the sink to counter the floor's tendency to slide out from under him. He didn't particularly want to speak, didn't really needto speak, but curiousity prodded him to see what effect morbid chit-chat would have on Mulder's actions.

"How close to the bone is it, Mulder, hmmm... "

Mulder's hand slid lower still and Alex had to stifle a small cry. Oh, Jesus... fuck, how can someone look that sedated, he looks like he's coming down with a coma, and still be able to dothat? Alex could feel a hot, painfully sweet ache begin high up behind his balls. Mulder's fingers were obviously fitted with some kind of subdermal joy buzzers. Either that or he was channeling the spirit of an electric eel... a very skillful, erotically inclined eel...

Alex closed his eyes. Unable to resist the tickling lures being played across its flesh, his body had begun succumbing. Alex could feel his legs spreading, his breath quickening in his chest, his heart attempting to scale his ribs and crawl its way up his tight throat.

"Dying while living, Alex. It's a motif in every major tradition, East and West. The Sikh call it surat shabd yoga... many think of it as the ultimate union between the lover and the beloved... 'die while living and ye shall find the creator'." Mulder might have been musing to himself; his utterances had a hypnotic absence of inflection. By appearances he had just located a hidden microphone at the base of Alex's spine, into which he was speaking with measured deliberation. Where his mouth rested, a hot, focused cloud of heat grew and rolled in place, a micro-cyclone over trembling skin.

Alex shuddered and bent slightly against the edge of the sink to give Mulder better access. "Do notstop doing that," he snarled when the busier of Mulder's two hands began to drift. "And don't quote any more fucking Shakespeare to me, and don't tell me that's not Shakespeare, and just—fuck—just keep doing that... oh god... " Alex began to arch and rub against Mulder's hand. "Oh god," he said even more softly, his voice lowering to a stunned, helpless whisper. His thighs tightened and then shifted open again, and then Mulder's other hand slid down off his hip and skimmed up his inner thighs to join its partner. He wouldn't, thought Alex, not daring to hope. He spread his legs further, so close to ecstasy that if he'd allowed himself any sound it could only have been a whimper.

Alex opened his eyes, catching sight of himself in the mirror: lips parted, eyes glassy and heavily weighted, face and throat flushed with lust. Mulder's fingers worked between his legs like invisible sea anemones, like something submarine that lives and breathes only below the sea's surface. Alex couldn't remember the last time he'd been so conscious of his ass, the last time so much heat had been generated in the swells of that flesh. When Mulder's mouth brushed a descent from the hollowed heart of his back across one cheek and then the other, Alex closed his eyes, bent his head, prayed. And Mulder moved his mouth lower, and his tongue flicked with the delicacy of a lizard's or a snake's, between his cheeks, then further.

Alex moaned harshly, the sound escaping the imprisoning clench of his teeth. He could not help himself, he laid himself out like a sacrifice across the sink counter, pushing back into Mulder's face, feeling his tongue stab out to meet him thrust for thrust.

"Oh god—"

"You're religious now," Mulder laughed, his words and that laughter so soft and so brazenly, intimately located that Alex began to arch and pump into the warm hand that cradled his cock. Rough, unshaven jaw rubbed like sandpaper across his ass. He bucked forward and then back into the teasing mouth, and its silken dagger continued to meet him touch for touch, skidding and stabbing wetly into him in a manner so unutterably raw that Alex could only gasp—gasp aloud—and twist his body once again, lifting his head, attempting to find the one, perfect position that would keep him centered on that exquisite mouth, that flame-striking tongue, and still allow him to shout forth his gratitude to the heavens. Yes, he was feeling religious. Oh yes.

Alex's body arched and wrung itself, desperately seeking an impossible union, the translation of some exaggerated, idealized tantra that would allow full and utter impalement. Yet his ideal—a swollen, improbably lengthened member, thick and heavy as a cock, sinuously mobile as a tongue, onto which he could drop the burning globe of his ass and rotate—felt surprisingly close to fulfillment. Every stroke of wet hot flesh was bringing him closer to relief, to something pure and bright within the shimmering crystal of his skull.

"Oh, fuck, oh Christ, oh god yes—yesFoxfuck!" Alex gasped, nearly fell as the slippery fire removed itself, left him bereft and smoking, flesh seared and screaming. "Bastard!" His rising voice leapt once to nearly a yelp, then broke down into a whispery gasp of agony. "Oh, you fucking bastard"

Alex whirled around, knocking Mulder back a bit with the swinging movement of his body. Off-balanced, the other man fell back to rest lightly on one arm. Mulder's eyes were glittering like sun-struck ice, but he was breathing heavily and his lips were still parted—and so indecently, sensually full that Alex immediately reconsidered his first, raging impulse to strike out. And even as Alex was forcing his stunned body into motion, Mulder was licking his lips, parting them wider, and he looked not at all surprised when Alex grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him forward onto his cock, driving deep into his open mouth. He was lifting his hands to cup Alex's ass, lifting himself to his knees, shoving his mouth forward onto Alex's aching flesh.

Knees nearly buckling, Alex just managed to stay upright. "You know what, Mulder," he gasped out, thrusting as he did. "Good thing you're a sick fuck, because you'd be getting yourself into some ugly trouble other—otherwise—" He cried out and bucked forward hard, sliding into a tight, throbbing, screwing source, as powerful as a whirlpool, as primal and savage as a panther rending and swallowing its dinner, raw and whole. Alex bucked again, striving toward pleasure, relishing the incredibly entwined sensations of soft, tightening heat around his cock and the shattered-silk fire of a man's hair filling his hands. Mulder's. G-man the Generous. The scalding cup of his mouth strained around him, drawing out along his length with glistening strokes, then stretching back down to take him all.

Alex rubbed naked shoulders, cupped Mulder's ears and jaw, tried to put his hands everywhere, wanting to feel every cooperating muscle that was working at him, so that every time he watched Mulder speak and eat he could think of this. He stroked the warm, vulnerable nape of Mulder's neck, palming its prickly verge of hair, then brushed up into the skull cap of soft fire, where he abruptly strengthened his grip, plaiting his fingers into the soft strands and pulling Mulder's head back further, driving in deeper, hearing the choked sounds of the other man's pleasure. He could see that pleasure too in Mulder's contorted face, could feel it in the painfully deepening grip of his hands.

Likes to be choked. Alex couldn't keep the words out of his head. Likes to be choked, likes to be choked... He almost grabbed Mulder's neck at that point, but didn't think he'd be able to exercise enough control. His hips were beginning to buck, he could feel the red-hot tip of his cock scraping like an abraded match-head across the roof of Mulder's mouth, then slipping down even further, trying to light itself. Back and forth, back and forth—Alex groaned and looked down at Mulder's face, absorbing his erection and reflecting the utter abandon of a man who truly enjoys giving a blow job. Who'd a' thunk, Alex thought wildly, just as his body was clenching and finding its peak—and then Mulder's hand drew to the fore of his body and slid under his cock, squeezing and cutting him short.

"Oh man," Alex said weakly, and heard himself make a sound suspiciously like a whimper. "Man, oh, Mulder, this... you... " He had no curses in him to hurl at Mulder's head, no spite or ire; he wanted only to plead. Pleeaaaseeeee... finish!But he couldn't bring himself to speak. It would have been too much of an effort. He hung his head and waited, dazed, for Mulder to take pity. But Mulder merely licked the head of his cock with fond interest and then stood.

"Shower, Alex, shower... " He kissed Alex's mouth, hard, then drew back just as abruptly. His eyes were happy, his hair mussed. Grinning at Alex, he asked, "What are you thinking?"

"No blood is getting through to my brain right now, Mulder." Alex's voice was a dry, thick mutter.

"Nothing?" Mulder pouted. "Come on, not even one sweet nothing?"

"Mmm... " A wicked grin found its way to Alex's lips despite the neediness of his body. "Your mouth is like a turbofan engine on a B2 bomber... ?"

"Well, a man can't hear thattoo many times," Mulder said, then laughed with him breathlessly as they kissed again.

"Is there a chance, Mulder, I'm going to get out of the bathroom this morning with my balls any color but blue?"

"Delayed gratification," Mulder said simply, as if this were an answer. "You need to discipline yourself, Alex. Pull back from orgasm six or eight times—"

"Christ!"

"—and you'll be drilling a hole through the ceiling tiles when you come—or maybe the back of my skull." He looked rather pleased with this idea.

"But I'll be dead by then too, and unlike you I won't enjoy it."

"Stop whining."

"You've been waiting to say that," Alex said darkly. "Hey—where are you going?" God, I'm notwhining... am I?

Mulder paused in the doorway with that grave, da Vinci smile of his, and a tiny indentation between his brows. "I was just going to get the handcuffs—you don't mind, do you?"

Alex could only shake his head dumbly. He watched Mulder leave, then turned to stare at himself in the mirror again. Hello, I'm Alex. Who the fuck are you, you lucky son of a bitch?He shook his head at his reflection in dazed wonderment. His reflection grinned back. Christmas in August. Or maybe it's my birthday? I definitelyneed to take advantage of this, whatever it is. There's no way something this good could come more than once a year.

Mulder wandered back in, attention absorbed by the cuffs in his hands. "I took yours. This is the key, isn't it?" He held up a key from the bunch, then at Alex's nod tossed the whole ring onto the floor by the tub. "You know," he said, suddenly looking up. "I love this job. There aren't too many professions that let you carry around your sex toys openly on your belt."

"Was that the motivation behind your career choice, Mulder?" Alex asked, shaking his head once with dry, sardonic amusement as he reached to turn on the shower.

"Is there any other?"

They got into the shower, maneuvering in its narrow confines with careful shifts and a few not unpleasant bumps. Mulder had brought condoms and lube, which he deposited in the soap cache before turning to Alex and giving him some soapy regards. He kissed Alex several times without ceasing the lathering movements of his hands, warm tonguings that somehow suggested the intimate caresses of some very friendly animal's flipper.

"You're laughing," Mulder said, speaking into Alex's mouth.

"Flipper," Alex whispered, trying not to snort.

Mulder pulled back, looking unexpectedly irritated. "What is that, your idea of an endearment?"

"Sorry," Alex said contritely, not wanting to annoy the other man. Jerking off was always an option, but he was primed for so much more that he didn't think he'd be able to stand it if Mulder pulled out of the game now.

Mulder did not immediately resume his intimacies, but continued to scowl at him with suspicion.

"Sorry, Mulder," Alex whispered, eyes gleaming with happy amusement as he ducked his head and kissed the side of the other man's neck. He brushed his way back up toward unsmiling lips. "You're much more fun than Sea World, I swear."

"Why do I get the feeling this is the beginning of a dangerous friendship," Mulder sighed. With subtle resistance, his face evaded Alex's kiss, not quite allowing him to regain his lips. "You done this with anyone else—other agents?"

"Um, not sure—would you call the director an agent?"

"You do realize how credulous I am."

"So they say."

"Mmm... it's getting kinda steamy in here." Mulder shook his head, sending tiny droplets of spray flying.

"We're not paying the water bill."

"So, just who is this Alex Krycek person?"

"Not now, Mulder."

"Be careful, you can really bang up your knees doing that. If we have to chase anyone down—hmmm... " Mulder's voice trailed off and his fingers began kneading Alex's shoulders with the intense, self-centered rhythm of a smurgling cat.

"Hey, Mulder," Alex said around licks, "what's the forty-second element of the periodic table?"

"Oh, oh... molybdenum... why?"

"Just testing."

"The boiling point is 4612 degrees Celsius... you're pretty close... "

"You really are fucking gorgeous, Mulder." Alex paused just for one appreciative moment before continuing his licks. "Anybody ever offered to cast this for you?"

"Sort of... but I think they meant a body cast."

"That'd be good too. Might as well get it all in."

"... you like it then?"

"Which?"

"Mmm, give me some compliments... "

"With my mouth full?"

"Oh please,Alex, please please—"

"Shut up already!" Rather viciously Alex altered his angle of approach and nipped at Mulder's balls, bringing a little yelp from above. "Yeah, mm... well I don't know, Mulder, Christ, I'm not usually talking and fucking at the same time, unlike some people... mm, well you've got that whole flesh-colored mushroom look down—up, I should say—very nice—"

"What kind of mushroom?"

"Hmm?"

"Death cap—wine cap maybe?—portabella, shiitake, button—"

"Well, you're no button, Mulder," Alex interrupted. He slid his grin onto the member in question and heard a small, pleased oh drift down.

"Are we talking... Playgirl centerfold... quality?" Mulder gasped out.

"We aren't talking," Alex muttered, rather unintelligibly. He sucked hard, harder than he ever had in his life he suspected, and felt Mulder's hips buck out to meet him. Strong fingers embroidered themselves in his hair and then sharp cries broke free at last—"Alex, oh god, Alex!"—and Alex felt the hardening flesh in his mouth tighten further, and the soft doubled sac of flesh he was stroking lift and give a stridulating tremble—and then he drew his mouth off. Immediately.

Mulder made a stunned, pathetic little sound very much like the weep of an abandoned puppy.

"Oh, didn't you want me to do that?" Alex asked, smirking up at him. "Self discipline, Mulder. How many was that for you—one, two—out of, what—eight?"

"Don't listento me, Alex," Mulder pleaded.

"I've got to get up. I think I've channeled about a hundred gallons of water down the crack of my ass—"

"You too?" Mulder's voice was lust-roughened and breathless, but the quip still came quickly.

"I really don't want to know," Alex said, standing upright again next to Mulder, and hearing his knees (damn) creak.

"I'm not that weird, Alex." Mulder looked at him searchingly, almost worriedly. Steam and sex had plastered his hair down to his scalp, and his face was suffused with warm arousal. "You don't really—"

"Oh yes"—Alex interrupted them both, laughing—"you are."

"But it's a good weird, right?"

"Oh, yeah," Alex assured him, grinning. "The best kind of weird."

I shouldn't be fishing for compliments, Mulder thought. This is too needy. I guess it's been longer than I remembered. I really need to get laid more often.

Alex was continuing, "You know what kind of dumb-as-lumber beefcake I've been working with in special ops? Jesus, Mulder, somewhere there's cattle being cloned that we know nothing about." He stepped up and grazed their slippery bodies together, nipple to nipple, belly to belly. Their cocks pressed close, nuzzling like horses whose masters have stopped in the road to speak. Alex's voice dropped to a husky whisper. "I'd love to show them a thing or two, wouldn't you, Mulder—put a twitch in their bloodless dicks. Bet they'd pick up some stuffing to take home to wifey, hmm? Which division, Mulder, which one—we'll give them a home movie—I'll bend you over the desk of your choice, show those sublimated cocksuckers how to do it—"

Mulder arched into him, gasping. Alex spun him around awkwardly in the wet narrow tub, splashing the stream of water that still hissed and slithered across their feet. He found the cuffs and with two quick snaps fastened Mulder to the towel rack, then ravished every inch of available skin he could put his hands, tongue, and teeth on, until Mulder was shouting loudly, his cries bouncing off the steaming tiles, mingling with the water's harsh, ongoing din. Alex, down again on one knee, thrust a soapy finger up Mulder's ass, then two, working with brutally efficient thrusts until he felt—heard—Mulder nearing climax again.

"Oh god, please, Alex—I'm begging—fuck—" Hands pulled ineffectually at cuffs, flesh and bone twisted from fingertips all the way down to dancing, clumsily splashing feet. "God, I need you in menow!"

Alex followed fingers with tongue, ignoring the pleas. Mulder began to jerk his hips in short, frantic snaps that threatened to bump Alex off and send him tumbling back across the tub's slick surface. Pulling away, he slapped Mulder hard, across one cheek. The movements abrupted.

"Oh!" After this brief exclamation of surprise, Mulder's voice lowered to a soft murmur. "Please..." He arched again, laughed once with unthinking pleasure.

"Slut," Alex said, kissing the slap-blushed cheek instead.

Mulder shuddered, half in need, half in fear. God, this is going too far... Mulder. FBI. Mulder tried to regain himself in the dizzying whirl of his desires, but all he found was his present hunger. Mulder. FBI. Mulder... god, I need this man up my ass RIGHT NOW. Instinctively, to stave off panic and quickening lust, his mind started sifting through its freight of countless words—Heraclitean aphorisms, Air Force test-flight crash statistics, Elvis lyrics—but he managed to bite his tongue before the babble started flowing again.

"God, how a man could look at your ass and not want to bone it is beyond me, Mulder. What a fucking peach... " Alex nuzzled him with tongue, nose, chin, pushing into soap-slicked flesh, teasingly widening the cheeks of Mulder's ass with his tense fingers. "This is inspiring, actually—maybe I will keep talking—you want me to call you names, Mulder—want some fuck-film action?"

"Yes—oh god—yes—"

Alex stood, pressing his swollen dick between Mulder's cheeks, rubbing it in and receiving a series of hard, welcoming squeezes in return. He slid his hands around to Mulder's front, stroking his nipples and his lifted cock, and whispered things in one ear that made the other man's face flush deeply and his body buck back into Alex's cock with an increasingly urgent rhythm.

"Please—do it to me—" Mulder whispered. "Please, Alex."

"I shouldn't," Alex said, but his own head was swimming. The shower's steam had eased somewhat but the encurtained tub was still densely, tropically humid and he didn't know how much longer he could hold his load in. His cock was pulsing, thick and heavy with blood, his balls ripe with seed; every desire of his body concentrated in that crux. Unable to tease either of them any more, he groaned, pulling away only long enough to find a condom, lube, wishing he could just do without—at least the first—but he was of the times, he hadn't been fortunate enough to live before the imperatives of latex. And, if truth were known, he was rather fastidious, so perhaps it was just as well.

"Oh—oh—" Oh god yes. Mulder was gasping and laughing together in one breath as Alex began pushing into him. He wanted to howl with delight, but could only moan softly. The swollen sagittate point, thick and smooth, pressed against him, cockhead to calyx, then began nudging in, kiss by kiss, inch by inch. It was arguably the most exquisite feeling a body could host. He'd always wondered if it was the same for women—or similar, depending on the orifice in question; but those he'd asked had rarely been experienced enough to make a good comparison (something wrong there: how come he could never pick the fun ones?). And though a few had given favorable testimonials Mulder suspected that possession of a prostate was nine-tenths of the thrill. (Phone sex girls were another story. Their enthusiasm on the subject—"Oh, baby, yeah, I love that big hot meat up my ass"—had to be taken with a grain, maybe a shaker even, of salt.)

"Hey, Mulder, you with me?" Alex said, biting his right earlobe hard enough to draw blood.

Mulder yipped his assent.

"I'm going to buy you an earring for this hole," Alex murmured.

"That sounds very painful," Mulder gasped back, as the last few inches began to find their way inside him.

"Idiot. How come you don't wear an earring?"

"I'm an FBI agent, idiot," Mulder grated out in reply. His eyes shut, his head dipped back to rest on Alex's shoulder. Oh god, oh god. It was so amazingly good. The braceleted mangle of his wrists was beginning to aggravate him—the links were really too short to allow much play (in every sense of the word)—but he managed to find a better grip out of sheer necessity.

"Man, I'd have loved to have seen you ten, fifteen years ago... wild child. I know it."

"Um," Mulder said distractedly, as full impalement was his. He's babbling, I've broken him, he thought, before thought spun away. "Stuff that washcloth in my mouth," he said, nudging his head against the towel rod.

Alex's rhythms paused. "Are you serious—mm, cancel that, don't know what I was thinking—" He stuffed the cloth in Mulder's mouth, collecting a responsive moan that nearly made him shoot his wad then and there. But he valiantly held back once again.

"You want me to choke you?" Alex asked gently to the warm, damp head that rested on his shoulder and rubbed pleasantly against his neck. A vigorous head shake told him no. "Well, I'm glad you're not that stupid. Someday you're going to aspirate your own vomit, Mulder, and I don't want to be there for it."

"Mmmph."

Mulder's ass was rubbing in cadence with the little shoves his face made. You are a pro, aren't you, Mulder... Alex wrapped his arms around Mulder's body and gave him every attentive caress he could command. He worked his hand back to Mulder's cock and slid his palm against its sleek length. He really was a beautiful handful; Alex hadn't lied. The other man's cock was a near perfect bow of flesh, nicely sized, springy and somehow aerodynamic in design, with a neat cap like a furled rose-petal, creamy-pink and just that smooth.

"You could be in pictures, Mulder," Alex whispered in his ear. Mulder nudged him, stroking Alex's cheek with his own. Alex reached up with his free hand and cupped Mulder's wet skull. It felt so hot it might truly have been a cauldron in which the soul's fire was held... a cup of flame... the neck a wick, the body a swaying candle, melting from the force of its own burning...

Alex pulled his hand away from Mulder's cock ("Mmmph!"), and quick as a striking snake reached up and yanked the cloth from his mouth. Another groan, not much more articulate than the first, escaped the dam, then Mulder managed a gaspy, angry "What?!"

Alex twisted Mulder's head closer, found an angle that would bring them to meeting and kissed him, tongue forcing him open, painting broad wet brushstrokes around his mouth and feeling Mulder's own tongue swirl greedily in immediate answer. He slammed his hips forward hard, his cock up as far as it would go, and felt sobs begin to break like iridescent bubbles against his mouth, rising from Mulder's throat. He pumped savagely, driving into rounded, tightly clenched flesh, and as the kiss deepened further he fitted his hand to Mulder's throat—and felt, as he'd expected, the spike of an even wilder arousal, mercury shooting up a thermometer, impelled by fever, boiling water, flame. Flesh gripped him tighter, sobs grew louder, fiercer, and then were choked off—and then Mulder was bucking hard, slipping in the water at his feet, liftingoff the ground, trying to scream as he came, failing, and Alex felt his own orgasm ripped from him by pure muscular force, pulsing flesh yielding its strikes, a stutter that built under the skin and then exploded.

"I'm going to see to it you get a medal for this," Mulder said, smiling with sated, satirical mischief.

Alex looked down at Mulder as he stepped over him. "No kidding. I've always wanted a medal. Which one."

"Purple ass, I think..."

"You staying there on the floor?"

Mulder's eyes had dropped shut. "I could, but who would save your ass when you drive off a bridge?"

"There's nothingwrong with my driving, and if you don't stop bugging me... this is New York City, Mulder... and if you mention my left turn again I'm going to toss you out the car and throw you to the gypsy cabbies."

"...you and you alone bring out the gypsy in me..."

"You can'tsing."

"...come to me, come to me do..."

"I'm going now... and you're coming with me. So if you don't get dressed you'll find yourself dragged naked into the Roger Smith lobby and then the dining room, and then out into the street..."

"Gee, Alex, you really are tall for your age..."

If he weren't so damn cute...

The End... sorta kinda.

In a Dark Time: Sleepless III

Category: Slash [Mulder/Krycek]. NC-17 by the bucketful
Disclaimer: Some guy, Chris Carter, though he might have said his name was Christ Carter come to think of it, spoke to me in a dream, said it would be okay with him if I used his boys. He was wearing a big red bozo nose and red high heels at the time, but I don't think this detracts from his credibility or the sincerity of his offer.
Author's Note: This is kind of a break from In a Dark Time. It is part of the storyline, and does contain some tiny pointers plot-wise, but it should be considered a smutty outtake first and foremost, a bit of exotic fluff. This is set on Sunday morning, in the story's chronology, the "morning after", in other words. I didn't want to skew the main story by weighting it heavily with sex, but on the other hand the guys were feeling pretty spunky, and besides I absolutely love manhandling helpless men. I'm pretty twisted, so beware. Comments very much welcome. I'm at eliade@drizzle.com, biting my nails.
