Notes: //... // depicts thoughts.

Waking up Blair felt comfortably warm, something that hadn't happened in a long time. A warm body was pressed against his, spooned up behind him and holding him close. He kept his eyes closed to savor this warmth and tried to remember what had happened.

The first thing he remembered was the thunderstorm that had raged through Cascade last night and he had fucking freaked out because of it. He felt embarrassed about his behavior but fear and memories had gotten the better of him and he'd fled his room.

And then… then Jim had found him. Blair's breath caught, suddenly realizing who was spooned behind him. Jim had led him upstairs and had placed him in the center of the bed. Then the Sentinel had soothed him, held him until the thunderstorm had grown less. And Jim had called him baby!

//Baby,// Blair mused, relaxing into the muscled body behind him. //He called me baby… Jim said it was a slip of the tongue, but…// These last few months he'd fallen hard for his roommate and had secretly hoped that something like this would happen, but now the situation was all wrong.

//What do I do?// Blair wondered. //Do I pretend I believe that it was just a slip of the tongue or do I take a chance and risk it all?// He felt terribly vulnerable. Opening up to Jim would give the Sentinel the power to destroy him. Yeah, he could accept Jim saying no to the attraction, but what if Jim kicked him out of his life? He wasn't so sure any longer that he could and wanted to live without Jim Ellison.

It was a terrible dilemma. //But what if I never tell him that I'm in love with him and something bad happens and one of us dies? Then the other would never know the truth.// And he had the feeling that Jim might be attracted to him too. After all, the Sentinel hadn't kicked him out of the loft after his week had been up.

//I've got to take that chance,// Blair realized suddenly. //Jim won’t make the first move. Oh, please let me be right about this!// Blair carefully moved a little in Jim's arms. It surprised him that Jim didn't wake, but he continued to turn onto his other side, until he faced Jim.

Jim's face was open and relaxed in sleep. Blair drank in its sight and realized that what he was about to do could destroy the friendship they'd been building these last months. Leaning in a little closer he nuzzled Jim's throat, placing a hesitant but passionate kiss beneath the collarbone.

Jim stirred and was about to wake up. That prospect both terrified and excited Blair. He would finally get his answer, but what price would he have to pay to get it?

Something warm and pleasant moved in his arms and he instinctively tightened his hold. Subconsciously he knew it was Blair, because it was the student's scent he was picking up, inhaling deeply. Blair was a safe place for him, a safe heaven and although he didn't say it, he trusted Blair with his life. Finding Blair this close was reassuring and non threatening.

But then the sensation changed as warm lips brushed his throat. Feeling the kiss pressed on his collarbone made him grow erect within seconds. It was such a delicious feeling, having Blair's lips brush his skin. It had to be a dream.

"Jim? Do you like me?"

Jim smiled, still locked away in this state that hovered between sleep and waking up. Blair's voice however slipped right through the layer of sleep and his smile changed into a grin. "Yeah, I like you, Chief."

"How much do you like me?"

Jim lazily caressed the warm skin beneath his fingers. He'd dreamed about Blair before, but this time the younger man felt amazingly real in his arms. Jim liked it a lot. "I love you," he replied eventually.

"You love me?"

//Why does Blair sound surprised?// Jim mused and his fingers located a painfully erect nipple. Unable to resist temptation, Jim rolled it between his fingers. "Yes, I love you, baby."

"So that's why you called me baby?"

Hum, Blair never talked this much in his dreams and Jim considered taking charge. "Come here, baby," he whispered and pulled Blair on top of his body. Normally, Blair didn't feel this heavy in his dreams. Jim reached up and gathered Blair's locks in his hands, then leaned in to claim those full lips.

Suddenly Jim's eyes flashed open, realizing Blair's weight was pushing him down. Not a dream? Shit!

Blair stared down into Jim's eyes and saw the shock in them. "It's okay, Jim. I love you too," he whispered passionately. "And you can call me baby whenever you want."

"Blair, I… oh shit!"

Blair applied a little bit of pressure and Jim's legs opened. Satisfied, he settled between the muscular thighs. "You're nervous!" Blair realized as he felt the tiny tremors that shook Jim's body. "Why?"

"Why?" Jim exclaimed baffled. "You're my friend, Blair! I shouldn't have said those things."

"Why not?" Blair tried hard to understand. "I love you too, man. I want to make love with you. I want you inside of me. Do you understand that?" Blair smiled and brushed Jim's lips.

"Blair, you can't want me!" Jim said determinedly as he pushed Blair away from his.

"Jim, I don't get it! You're special. I love you. Why wouldn't I want you?" Suggestively, he rubbed his erect cock against Jim's thighs. "Isn't that evidence enough?"

Jim grew quiet feeling Blair's erection. "I'm an old cop who represses too much. You can do much better, baby."

Blair laughed warmly at that statement. "You're the best I can get! I want you, man!" His right hand disappeared beneath the blanket and tugged at Jim's waistband, slowly easing Jim's boxers down.

Jim was hard and arched his back at Blair's touch. "What do you think you're doing, Chief?" Blair's touch was driving him crazy. If Blair kept this up he would come right there and then.

"I never thought you could get it up for me," Blair admitted and curled his fingers, trapping Jim's weeping cock.

"Blair? Baby? Why's that?" Jim buried his hands in the sheets as Blair increased the pressure and speed of his strokes. Part of him had trouble to believe that Blair was giving him a handjob in his bed!

"Look at you, Jim. You're everyone's fantasy, muscular, washboard abdomen, cutest ass I've ever seen and your eyes… I could drown in them," Blair whispered. His ministrations certainly had effect. Jim's cock heavily leaked pre- ejaculate and the Sentinel's body had grown rigid with craved relief.

Blair pushed away the blanket and took in Jim's body. "Man, I'm drooling here," he whispered softly and moved down Jim's legs. Kneeling between them he ran his fingers over Jim's heavy balls.

"Why did you think I wouldn't want you?" It was hard, but Jim grabbed Blair's wrist to stop the stimulation.

"Ever seen a more unlikely pair? The Sentinel and the nerd student?"

Jim winced at Blair's tone. He'd never known. "You're beautiful, baby. I can't understand that someone like you would want an old man like me!" Jim smothered Blair's protest by raising his right hand. "You want this? Because I certainly do."

"I want to go down on you, man," Blair whispered breathlessly and licked the tip of Jim's cock, which was begging for attention. "Relax, man." Blair resumed the slow strokes but also closed his lips around the head of Jim's cock. He planned on giving Jim the best blowjob the Sentinel had ever had. Relaxing his throat, he took in Jim's cock.

"Blair!" Jim cried out at the unexpected sensation. Looking down at Blair, his breath caught. Blair was deep throating him and he almost came from that realization alone. Jim tangled his fingers in Blair's soft locks and whispered soft words of encouragement. "Feels so good, baby. What are you doing to me? I'm going to come if you keep that up… So deep inside you…"

Blair loved hearing Jim's little encouragements and sped up his strokes, massaging Jim's cock and sucking hard at the same time. He wanted all Jim had to offer.

Blair's bobbing head almost disappeared between his thighs and Jim sighed heavily as orgasm began to build. His balls were ready to release his come and he stared at Blair, never taking his eyes of his friend and now lover. "Are you going to swallow it? Do you want to feel me come?"

Blair whimpered at the words and increased his efforts to bring his lover to orgasm. His fingers dipped into Jim's cleft and one fingertip pressed against his lover's entrance.

"Oh Blair!" Jim cried out as that one finger found its way inside. He arched his back, thrusting deeply and shooting his come. Stunned, he watched Blair swallow, accepting everything he had to give. "Oh baby," he whispered, completely at Blair's mercy. His body shook with the intensity of orgasm.

Blair looked up, giving Jim an impish grin. Carefully, he released Jim's sated cock and licked his lover clean, drawing soft moans from him. "Like that, huh?" he whispered, impressed by their shared experience.

"Baby, come here." Jim pulled Blair to his chest and held him tight. "You did that before."

"I'm no virgin, Jim…" And suddenly Blair regretted that. "I've been around the block."

"That's okay, baby," Jim said quickly, sensing Blair's sudden desire to retreat. "I've had lovers too." Not to mention he had almost died when Blair had gone down on him. "Best blowjob I've had," he complimented Blair. "Don't worry, baby. We're adults, we can do whatever we want."

Suddenly, he grew aware of Blair's erection that still pressed against his stomach. Looking up at Blair, he ran his hands over Blair's back. Blair, lying on top of him, was a beautiful sight. "How do you want to come?"

Blair swallowed hard, suddenly wondering if they were moving too fast. "Jim, I…"

"No regrets, Blair. I'm glad we took this step. I want us to be lovers. Always wanted that."

"Exclusively?" Blair asked softly. He lost himself in Jim's dilated pupils.

"Yeah," Jim said determinedly. "You're the only one for me. Now answer my question. What do you want?"

Blair gathered his courage. It was easier for him to give Jim pleasure than to accept it in return. "I want you inside of me."

"Blair…" Jim stroked back a strand of hair that had slipped into Blair's face. "I don't have any condoms here."

"I trust you… You get regularly tested, don't you?" Jim nodded his head and Blair continued. "So do I."

"Are you sure about this?" Jim shivered at the idea of burying himself inside Blair's body. "Do you have lube?"

Blair grinned. "Gimme a sec!" He jumped up from the bed and raced to get the lube from his room. Proudly, he presented it to Jim. Blair climbed back onto the bed and settled down on all fours, facing away from Jim. "I like it hard." His voice was barely more than a whisper.

Jim stared at the perfect ass Blair now presented to him. "Baby, you're beautiful." He licked the round cheeks and got up behind Blair on his knees. "Tell me what you want," he said as he coated his growing cock with the lube. It only took him a few strokes to grow completely hard again.

Blair wiggled his ass. "Take me, tough guy. Want to feel you." His cock rubbed against the pillow, which he'd put beneath his hips and he now went down on his elbows, relaxing and letting the pillow support him.

Although Blair looked submissive Jim wasn't fooled. Blair would always be the one in control. He used one finger to tease the puckered opening. "I want you so bad."

"Please Jim!" Blair exclaimed and looked over his shoulder. "Fuck me!"

"Impatient?" Jim commented, but positioned himself against the tight little hole. "You're sweet, baby."

Blair sucked in his breath as Jim's cock pushed against the outer ring, slowly opening up. He relaxed and bit down the shallow pain that coursed through him. He loved even that.

"You're tight, baby. It's been a while?" Jim paused to give Blair a chance to get used to the invasion. "Doesn't help that I'm kinda big either… you want me to stop?" The blowjob had taken the edge off for him and he could stop if Blair wanted that.

"No, dammit!" Blair rocked back, which caused Jim to slide in deeper. "Do me!"

"Oh, baby…" Jim completed the movement and buried himself to the hilt in his lover's tight body. "Are you okay?" Blair's muscle tightened around him in answer and he groaned. "Want it hard?"

"Yeah," Blair whispered bonelessly and held onto the edge of the bed when Jim started to thrust. He pushed back and closed his eyes. "Hard and fast."

"I can do that, baby." Jim adjusted his rhythm and his deep strokes hit Blair's prostate with every thrust. His right hand rested on Blair's lower back, caressing the skin there. His left wrapped itself around Blair's cock and fisted it. "Come for me, baby."

"Not yet!" Blair protested and went down all the way, lying helplessly on his stomach, while Jim followed him down, covering his trembling body. "Oh, Jim…" he whimpered as orgasm hit him. He'd wanted it to last, but the friction of Jim's cock moving inside him pushed him over the edge.

Jim groaned as Blair's muscle clenched him. "Yeah, baby, let go." A few more deep strokes and he released his come into his lover's willing body. "Beautiful," he repeated as Blair trembled beneath him. He wanted to pull back, but Blair's hand stopped him.

"Don't… not yet," Blair whispered drained, loving the fact that Jim's weight was pushing him down. He'd had sex before, but this had been different. This time he'd made love…

A little worried, Jim rubbed Blair's back. "I should pull back, Blair. I might have hurt you. I wasn't gentle. Let me check if you're bleeding."

"You would smell it if I were bleeding." Blair managed to cock his head and stared into Jim's draped eyes. "Thank you… best loving I've ever had."

//Love, not sex,// Jim registered and focused his sense of smell. Blair was right. He didn't smell any blood and reluctantly he gave in, remaining inside his lover just a little longer. Teasing Blair a little, he thrust slowly, shallowly. Blair tensed beneath him.

"Jim, that feels so good," he whispered lazily. Jim's hands now caressed his body, running up and down his back, his arms and they finally settled for tangling in his hair.

"Will feel good for the rest of our lives," Jim said reassuringly and determinedly, he pulled back.

"No," Blair whimpered at the loss. "Jim?"

Jim quickly turned his lover onto his back. "You made a mess," he said, pointing out the wet spot in the bed and pulled Blair away from it, burying his lover in his arms.

"That's your fault… you made me come." Blair's eyes were closing. "You exhausted me," he admitted and snuggled up to his lover.

"Get some rest, baby… I'll clean you up in a sec… just want to hold you for a little bit."

"I love you, Jim." Blair yawned and his sated body urged him to get some sleep.

Jim stared at the bruised lips, the closed eyes and his heart missed a beat. "I'll always love you, baby," he promised. Jim buried his face in Blair's hair. "Baby," he repeated, grateful for using that word accidentally. "I've got you now and I'll never let you go again."

The end.
