Tenderness
by Stacy L.A. Stronach
May 1998


Blair Sandburg rolled over in the big double bed he shared with
his lover and Sentinel, Jim Ellison. A slight smile played across his
beautiful face as he watched the older man sleep. Jim lay on
his back, one arm over his head, the other draped over his
lover. The blankets were bunched around Jim's waist, revealing
the sculptured magnificence of his upper body.


The faint morning light illuminated the room enough for Blair to
clearly see the beauty of his lover. He never failed to be amazed at
the depth of love he felt for this man, the emotions that
coursed through his being, every time he caught him in unguarded
moments like this. Jim was normally so stoic, so in control of
himself, that Blair relished the quite times when it was just the two
of them, when Jim could be himself, not having to worry about anything
else except Blair.


Unable to resist any longer, Blair leaned over and placed the
barest of kisses on Jim's lips. He pulled back so that he could
watch his lover awaken. Jim groaned as his eyelids fluttered open uncovering
sky blue eyes which stared directly into the
darker blue of Blair's. Smiling at the vision which greeted him,
Jim reached up, his hand sliding to the base of Blair's head,
tangling in the dark silky curls, before gently pulling Blair to
him for another kiss.


Their lips met in a gentle caress, mouths opening, tongues
gliding briefly together before sliding into the other's mouth.
There was heat in this kiss but it wasn't a hurried passion, just a tender
loving. Without breaking their soft embrace, Jim slowly
rolled over so that his Blair was beneath him and he lowered his
body against his lover's, enjoying the full body touch as Blair
spread his legs, letting Jim settle even closer. The younger man
wrapped his arms around Jim, holding him near.


Blair sighed as Jim's mouth left his to nuzzle against his neck,
kissing it, nipping it, sucking on it, marking him as belonging
to his Sentinel. Every touch of lips, teeth and tongue sent fire
blazing through his body, making his cock grow harder. Blair
trailed his hands up Jim's arms, across his shoulders and neck to rest
in the softness of his hair. Pulling Jim's head up, he went
to speak of his love, then realised that no words were necessary, their
love was spoken by the intensity of their gazes. They
smiled at each other before Jim bent his head back to the task
he'd been interrupted from.


He kissed his way across Blair's chest, seeking one of the dusky
nipples hidden in the dark thatch of hair. Finding his target,
Jim closed his mouth over it, sucking gently on the hardened nub
then flicking his tongue against it. Blair started slowly
undulating his hips, trying to rub his erection against Jim's
hard cock. Moving his hands down, Jim held his lover's hips
still, he had other plans. Releasing the nipple he'd been sucking on,
Jim sought the other one, lavishing the same attention on it
as he had on it's mate. Blair moaned, his hands urging Jim's head closer.


Jim slowly trailed kiss down across Blair's abdomen, and he
smiled as he felt the quivering he was causing in his lover's
body. He moved lower and lower until he reached Blair's hard
cock. Gently grasping the base of it in his hand, he flicked his
tongue across the head, tasting the pre-cum that was there. Blair groaned,
wanting nothing more than for his cock to be in Jim's
mouth. Sucking the head of Blair's erection into his mouth, Jim
worked his tongue around it, enjoying the reactions of his lover. For
a few minutes the only sounds in the room were Blair's
panting gasps and gentle sucking sounds as Jim worked his mouth
up and down Blair's cock. Then Blair's breathing became harsher
as he moaned louder with each word. "Oh god jim yes yes yes!
I'mmm com-OHHHH!" he screamed as he came, his come shooting down
Jim's throat. Jim swallowed all of it, savouring this taste of
Blair, of his lover's essence.


Jim looked up at Blair, whose breathing was slowly evening out.
Moving up, Jim gently kissed Blair, who responded eagerly.
Breaking the kiss, Blair smiled lazily as he reached down to
softly stroke Jim's erection. "Hmm, looks like there's something
I've got to take care of," he whispered, before claiming Jim's
mouth again. Moaning, Jim pushed his hips forward, trying to
create even more friction against Blair's hand. Blair smiled even as
he moved to place kisses on Jim's neck, zeroing in on the spot that his
lover enjoyed having sucked and doing so. He knew Jim
wasn't going to last long as he stroked the older man's cock.
Then it happened, with a shout of "Oh, Baby!" Jim came, his come
spurting over Blair's hand and stomach.


Jim watched through half closed eyes as Blair brought his hand
up, licking Jim's come off his hand. "Mmm, you taste good,
lover," Blair whispered before reaching down beside the bed for
something to clean them up with. Jim was too sated to do more
than lie there as Blair found a towel and gently cleaned himself
and Jim off. Blair rolled onto his back, dropping the towel back onto
the floor, grunting in surprise as he felt Jim cuddle up
next to him.


Blair smiled as the other man rested his head on Blair's
shoulder, an arm going across his waist, while Jim stretched one
of his legs over Blair's. "I love you, Baby," Jim murmured almost asleep.


"I know, I love you, too," Blair replied, wrapping his arms
around Jim before joining his lover in the realm of dreams.
