~*~*~*~

Dom sat on the long porch at the back of the old ranch house, Pounce cradled in his lap as he watched the sun set, his hair still damp from the shower he'd taken a little while ago. He had no intention of leaving his haven tonight; his nerves were still too raw from the morning's events to want to be around the boisterous ranch hands. Besides, Billy had all but promised to bring supper back with him, so Dom had dressed in loose fitting, flowing yoga pants and a soft cotton t-shirt, his feet bare. His fingers scrunched through Pounce's thick fur as he rocked in the hand crafted rocking chair.

"I'd still trade places with that damn cat in a heartbeat," Billy's voice stated.

"You don't need to trade." Dom smiled as he turned his head. "You get the premium service."

"Livvie sent dinner down for you since you didn't turn up at meal time," Billy added. "She thought you might be tired."

"I might be," Dom spoke with a subtle grin. "That shirt looks good on you." His heart skipped a beat as he noticed Billy's muscles flex under the worn blue fabric.

"Smells good, too." Billy stepped behind the chair and tilted it back so he could nuzzle Dom's neck. "Just like a certain sexy archaeologist, like warm sunshine and the sweetest sweat."

Inhaling sharply, Dom tilted his head to one side to give Billy access. "You're like a drug," he sighed as Billy's lips touched the soft skin of his throat.

"Funnily enough, I know that you're addictive." Billy squatted down beside the chair, his hand trailing across Dom's face. "I spend all day wanting to come to you, and wishing we were back at Arwen Canyon."

"Me too," Dom whispered, turning his face to press his lips against Billy's palm. "Are you okay?" he asked quietly. "I'm not proud of what I did to you this morning."

"Don't be daft," Billy chided softly. "I'm fine, a little sore, but I'm a big boy. I'll deal." He stood and lifted Pounce off Dom's lap. "But I do want to talk to you."

"What's wrong?" Dom asked his skin paling under his tan. "I did hurt you, didn't I?"

"Honey, I told you, you didn't hurt me. However, I did something that I shouldn't have."

"What?" Dom frowned. "I thought I was the one that did all the doing."

Billy couldn't help but smile at his question. "You were," he said as he nodded in agreement. "But I forgot something. We didn't use protection, Dom. I promise you, I'm clean, but I have no excuses. In my entire life, I have never forgotten before. Never."

"It's alright, Billy. I trust you." Dom said with a sigh. "I thought it was something serious."

"It was serious, Honey. You can't just trust anyone when they tell you they're clean."

"I'm not. I'm trusting you."

"Not everybody's clean when they say they are, Dom. You're so pure and innocent and trusting. Somebody is going to hurt you badly if you blindly trust them."

"You're not listening to me, Billy."

"I don't want to see you hurt, Dommie." Billy finally looked up into Dom's face, his hand tracing Dom's cheek gently.

"Are you going to hurt me, Billy?" Dom asked gently.

"I could never deliberately hurt you, Dommie. Never."

"Then you're not going to see me hurt then." Dom smiled at him, his teeth nipping at the tip of Billy's thumb as it traced his lips.

"Dom, you need to be realistic," Billy said, and then sighed.

"I am," Dom replied. "You're the only one I ever want to…you know." Trailing off, he blushed.

"Dommie." Billy leaned forward to press a wet kiss on Dom's lips. "You're not being sensible."

"I'm being very sensible." Dom argued, and then lifted both hands to clasp Billy's face and hold him, eagerly resuming their kiss.

"It won't work, Dom," Billy whispered as he lifted his mouth from Dom's lips briefly.

"What won't?" Dom murmured, wrapping his arms around Billy's neck.

"Distraction." Billy's lips moved to Dom's earlobe and tugged on it gently.

"Then let’s not call it distraction," Dom whispered "Lets call it practice."

"You don't need practice." Billy trailed his tongue down Dom's neck.

"I think I do." Dom tilted his head back giving Billy access to more of his neck. "Stay with me tonight, Billy?"

"Do you want me to?" Billy answered absently, lapping at his lover's salty skin.

"Thought about it all afternoon," Dom moaned as Billy's tongue trailed across his throat.

"It's not right," Billy whispered "Your reputation."

"I don't give a damn," Dom whimpered as Billy's teeth found his other ear. "I want to go to sleep, wrapped up in my Billy."

"How can I say no to that?" Billy spoke into Dom's lip.

"Please say you can't." Dom pulled back to look into Billy's face. "I love being out at Arwen Canyon, because for the first time in my adult life, I don't feel alone. But when we're back here, I'm lonely for you, Billy. Please don't say no."

"How could I say no to you?" Billy sighed.

"Everybody else does," Dom said as he shrugged.

"I can't. Not since the very first time I saw you, the sun shining against your honey hair. You're like an irresistible force that I can't pull away from, even if I wanted to," Billy whispered against Dom's neck, so quietly that Dom had to strain to hear him.

"Does that mean you're staying?" Dom let his long fingers twist in Billy's ginger hair. "Please say yes."

Billy stood and extended a hand to Dom, gently pulling the younger man to his feet. "I think it might," he said, smiling at Dom.

"Good." Dom grinned at him. "I vote we go to bed early."

"How early?" Billy said, laughing.

Dom looked at the watch on Billy's wrist. "I don't know, let's say…about now?"

"What about dinner?" Billy pointed to the picnic basket Liv had packed.

"Not hungry. We'll have it later."

"We will, will we?" Billy asked one eyebrow quirked

"Yup," Dom nodded "But the crumbs can stay on your side of the bed."

As Dom pulled him by the hand into the house, Billy dropped the picnic basket on the kitchen table and Dom dragged him through the kitchen and workroom, and finally into the bathroom. As they entered the small room, Dom turned to face Billy, his eyes dark with arousal and glistening with emotion as he kissed Billy wetly.

"Thought we were going to bed, Honey," Billy whispered against Dom's lips.

"We are," Dom murmured, his lips brushing teasingly against Billy's pale skin. "But I'm not blind. I can see you're hurting. I thought you might like a hot shower."

Billy's lips found Dom's and capture them in a long, wet kiss. "You joining me?"

"Can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be." Dom moved across the room to turn on steaming water, the fingers of one hand still laced with Billy's.

Facing his lover, Dom slowly unbuttoned Billy's shirt, peeling it slowly from his muscular frame, his long fingers tracing the bruises that marred Billy's pale skin. Leaning in, Dom placed feathery soft kisses against each mark, pressing his face against Billy's chest, listening to Billy's heartbeat before he pressed a wet, open mouthed kiss there.

Billy itched to lift his hands and touch Dom, but something stopped him. He wasn't sure why he hesitated, maybe it was the image of Dom in the mirror behind them, watching Dom lavishing his care and attention on Billy, or maybe it was just the fact that he didn't want to disturb Dom or God forbid, distract him from his task.

As Dom's fingers closed over his belt buckle, Billy gave in to temptation and let his fingers card softly through Dom's damp hair. Silently, Dom's lips followed the removal of Billy's clothing, soft kisses covering the marks of their earlier passion, the feel of his tongue flicking across the pale bruises and abrasions, drawing a ragged moan from Billy's lips.

Dom straightened, rising to pull Billy completely against him as their mouths met in a wet, tongue tangling kiss. Pressing his fingers against Billy's shoulders as they kissed gently, Dom directed Billy back until his buttocks rested against the edge of the vanity unit.

Sliding down Billy's body, letting his mouth follow the path of his questing hands, Dom lifted one of Billy's feet and pulled his boot off, then repeated the procedure with his other foot. His long fingers held Billy's foot, gently caressing and massaging the pale skin.

Billy's fingers tightened in Dom's hair, his head tilting back, a long low moan parting his lips as he felt Dom's massaging fingers.

"Come back up here," Billy murmured.

Dom leaned forward and pressed a kiss against the top of Billy's foot, his mouth twisting into a grin as he lifted Billy's foot slightly and sucked his big toe into his hot mouth, caressing the digit with his tongue. Swirling his tongue around Billy's toe, Dom sucked it gently, his eyes lifting to look into Billy's face.

"Please Dommie?" Billy whimpered, arousal arcing through his body with a force he hadn't expected.

With a final sucking lick, Dom placed Billy's foot back on the floor and rose to stand fully clothed in front of his naked, aroused lover.

"Where did you learn to do that?" Billy murmured as his mouth collided with Dom's wetly, their tongues licking, tasting, and plunging into each other's mouths, desperate for the contact.

Dom shrugged, his hands sliding across Billy's skin "It just felt right," he whispered, his tongue flicking at the marks on Billy's neck. "You didn't like it?" He lifted his head to look into Billy's face.

"I can't believe you have to ask that," Billy almost laughed as his hands found the bottom of Dom's t-shirt. Slipping his hands underneath, Billy's calloused fingertips danced across Dom's back dimples before he pulled the shirt up and over Dom's head, dropping it to the floor beside them.

"You're the one with all the experience." Dom pulled back and looked at Billy, his eyes serious. "I just want to please you."

"Trust me, Honey." Billy untied Dom's belt with quick, deft movements. "You do that just fine."

"I don't want to do 'just fine'," Dom protested, licking at Billy's neck as Billy pushed Dom's pants down to pool at his bare feet. "I want to scramble your nerve endings and melt your mind the way you do mine."

"I think you're well on the way," Billy sighed as Dom's questing fingers found and pinched at his nipples. He tilted his head back and almost whimpered with the sensations that the simple action invoked in him. "Definitely well on the way."

"Want to get wet, Ramrod?" Dom asked, smiling as his long fingers danced across Billy's quivering belly.

"You know," Billy pulled Dom's face to his and kissed him slowly. "Sometimes you amaze me."

Dom pulled back and frowned at Billy, his arousal-clouded mind trying to understand Billy's cryptic words. Stepping into the shower cubicle, Dom extended one long, elegant hand, and it took a split second for Billy to slide his fingers into Dom's and step under the pulsating jets of steaming water.
The water sprayed against Billy's back as Dom turned him to face the wall, his long fingers kneading and caressing the tension out of Billy's shoulders. Bracing his hands against the white tiles, Billy's body almost melted into Dom's touch.

"Good?" Dom leaned against Billy's frame, his mouth pressed against Billy's ear as he whispered huskily.

"Mmmm," Billy murmured.

Dom trailed his lips down the muscular length of Billy's spine, pressing soft kisses to each vertebra as he traveled lower. Tongue lathing the dimples at the base of Billy's spine, Dom pressed a wet, open mouthed kiss against each of them, before letting his tongue trail gently between Billy's tight buttocks.

Billy tensed at the gentle intrusion, his body painfully aware of his day's activities.

"Dom," he moaned, unable to relax into Dom's caresses.

"It's alright, Billy," Dom murmured, his face pressed against the small of Billy's back as he spoke. "I won't hurt you again."

"You didn't hurt me before," Billy sighed as Dom's tongue brushed against his entrance. He moved his legs further apart, granting Dom greater access, even as Dom reached one arm up to find Billy's hand and laced their fingers together. His tongue brushed back and forth across the tight pucker, over and over, never pressing for entrance, just brushing against him, tasting and teasing.

Fingers laced with Dom's, Billy squeezed tightly as Dom's talented tongue worked its magic, his other hand pressed against the white tiles beside his face. Cheek pressed against the tiles, Billy's eyes close as he's overwhelmed with the pleasure he's receiving.

"Keep that up, Dommie," Billy groaned as Dom's tongue barely penetrated him. "And aching or not, I'll beg you to do it again."

"I don't want to do it again," Dom whispered as he trailed his lips along Billy's spine. “I want you inside of me." Dom's swollen lips caressed Billy's ear as he nipped the tender skin there.

Dom's thick erection rubbed against the tight cleft between Billy's cheeks as he kissed and sucked at the sensitive skin of the older man's neck. The pulsating water pounded against Dom's back as he struggled to control himself, his hips jerking erratically against his lover, one hand trailing across Billy's ribs to curl around Billy's erection and stroke him wetly.

"Please Billy," Dom whispered, his teeth catching Billy's earlobe. "I want you deep inside of me. I need you, Billy."

Billy's breathing hitched as he fought against the wave of burning climax that threatened to wash over him. Dom's seductive words and the tight, desperate pressure of his long, elegant fingers on his arousal, burning into his soul, ate away at Billy's resistance, completely demolishing the thought that he should put some distance between them. Instead, his hand covered Dom's on his erection before he pulled the long, talented fingers from his throbbing flesh.

"Please Billy," Dom murmured, his tongue trailing across the fragile shell of Billy's ear. "I'll beg if you want me to." Moving lower, Dom nipped at Billy's sensitive ear lobe. "I'll drop to my knees and worship you, beg you to take me, even as I suck you." Dom's hand returned to Billy's arousal to tug roughly, his fingers gripping tightly, sliding faster along the slick skin, his grip punishing.

"Fuck, Honey," Billy whimpered as his hips jerked into Dom's hand "If you don't stop that…..I….won't. Last."

Pulling out of Dom's embrace, Billy flipped their positions quickly, startling Dom. His hands roamed frantically all over Dom's body, fingers trailing up and down Dom's back, Billy clutched Dom's buttocks tightly as he pulled Dom closer. Every downward stroke of Billy's fingers induced an upward stroke of his hips, their hard erections rubbing wetly across each other. The fingers of one hand closed around Dom's erection and caressed it slowly, wetly, before Billy sank slowly to his knees in front of his lover, his lips pressed against Dom's tip teasingly, his pointy tongue darting out to flick back and forth, tasting his lover.

Dom tilted his head back against the wall and moaned loudly, his fingers carding through Billy's hair as Billy's tight mouth wrapped itself around his arousal and sucked, his tongue licking Dom as he stroked. As Dom's entire body began to tense, his climax building fiercely at the base of his spine, his toes curling with the sensation of the tight suction of Billy's mouth on him, Billy completely amazed him.

The fingers of one hand slid between Dom's buttocks, rubbing against his entrance, and then one finger pushed deep inside him with a single thrust. While his entire body gripped Billy's penetration and the intense suction on his throbbing arousal, Dom's head tossed from side to side as he unraveled before Billy's upturned, slumberous eyes. That was when Billy's fingers curled around the base of Dom's cock and squeezed tightly, leaving Dom hanging on the precipice of a bone melting orgasm.

Billy lifted his mouth from Dom and slid up his body, his fingers still wrapped tightly around Dom's throbbing arousal.

"Honey, if we don't get out of here now," he growled against Dom's neck as his teeth nipped, "I'm going to take you right here, your body slick from the shower."

"Do it," Dom groaned, his fingers digging into Billy's biceps as he struggled, his hips jerking into Billy's iron grip, desperate for release. "Please, Billy," he whimpered. "Please. I. Need. You. Now."
Leaning up to squeeze the bottle of shower gel that hung from the showerhead Billy awkwardly poured some into his palm. His mouth fastening onto Dom's shoulder, sucking and nipping at the tender skin, Billy's soapy hand pressed between Dom's buttocks, his fingers sliding across and into Dom's entrance, plunging, twisting and scissoring, even as his other hand slowly loosened its grip.

"Are you sure?" Billy whispered as he nipped at Dom's earlobe.

"For fucks sake, Billy," Dom almost whined. "I. Can't." His breath stuttered, and his eyes rolled back in his head as Billy's fingers brushed repeatedly, insistently across his prostate. "Please. Now. Now." Dom's fingers gripped at Billy's shoulders, his nails biting into Billy's skin while his hips bucked erratically. "Please."

Wrapping one hand around Dom's thigh and lifting it so that it rested against his hip, Billy tilted his own hips and let his insistent arousal nudge at Dom's entrance as his fingers guided the way into Dom's body. Slowly, tenderly pushing into Dom, his thick length pressing past the tight ring of muscle,

Billy's mouth swallowed Dom's gasp as he struggled to still his movements while Dom adjusted to him.
In the longest seconds of his adult life that he had endured, Billy fought against the tide of his own orgasm while the tight grip of Dom's body pushed him to the limits of his endurance, until finally Dom's hips began to rock against his. Billy's hands caressed down Dom's sides, fingers tracing ribs as Dom undulated against him, water washing over them, slicking their skin and sluicing over trembling muscles as their skin slapped against the others. Pale against golden, thin against lean, trembling against quivering until there was only one entity, the lovers movements blurred into frantic caresses and wet, open mouthed kisses.

Fingers tracing Dom's body, finally coming to rest on his thighs, Billy tugged insistently as he pulled Dom's other foot from the ground so Dom's thighs wrapped snugly around his hips, Dom's feet drumming against the back of his legs. Each upward stroke of Billy's hips, brushed his arousal against Dom's prostate, drawing a strangled cry from Dom's lips, his erection caught between their bodies, abraded by the soft covering of hair on Billy's belly as he rocked into Dom. Pinned to the tile wall, held up by Billy's strong arms and thrusting hips, Dom's nails scored at Billy's muscular back as he struggled to hold on.

"Don't," Billy growled into Dom's mouth. "Don't. Fight. It."

His shoulders pressed against Dom as his thrusts pushed Dom harder against the tiles, one of Billy's hands dropped between them, fingers wrapping around Dom's throbbing length. Fingers gripping Dom tightly as he pushed, pulled and twisted, Billy stroked Dom harder and faster, and while he dragged his fingertips along Dom's length, Billy let his tongue trail around Dom's ear, whispering unintelligible words.

"Do you feel what you do to me, Dom?" Billy fingers squeezed tighter as he stroked.

"I feel like I'm a part of you," he whimpered against Billy's mouth as his fingers scraped along Billy's pale skin.

"I can't think when I'm inside you," Billy replied breathlessly, his thumb flicking across Dom's slick tip, squeezing as his stroke twisted.

"I don't want you to think," Dom moaned hungrily.

"I need to hear you come for me, Honey." Billy's tongue flicked out to lick Dom's neck.

"No." Dom groaned, rocking hungrily into Billy's touch. "Want this to last forever."

"Please Dommie," Billy begged. "Let go for me," he added, nipping at the tender skin behind Dom's ear.
The gentle lapping, and Billy's growling brogue in his ear, the tight stroking of his fist and the feeling of his lover buried deep inside him, all combined to push Dom over the edge of his own control. Head rolling from side to side against the slick tiles, his nails digging into Billy's skin, Dom's climax pulsed over Billy's fingers as he sobbed out his release.

Feeling Dom's body squeezing him tightly, Dom's intimate fluids sluicing from his fingers under the shower jets, and Dom's almost tortured sobs of pleasure were Billy's undoing. There was one final thrust into Dom's tightly gripping body, and then Billy threw his head back, finding his own release, deep within his lover.

Climax stealing his strength, knees no more than a gelatinous wobble under him, Billy sank to the floor of the shower stall, pulling Dom down the wall with him. Hands cupping Dom's buttocks as they finished their descent, Billy came to rest on his knees, Dom straddling his thighs, his slender body wrapped around Billy's like a second skin, both of them struggling to regain their breath.

[crsty1961.livejournal.com]

**breath breath** GUh double GUH

You should have asked nicely, they might have shared with you.

Happy you're enjoying it.

[starlingthefool.livejournal.com]

I need a cold shower, stat.

[sassywitch.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you honey.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[katze-boston.livejournal.com]

*purrs happily*

I LOVE this story. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the sex in this story.

(though I can't help but notice, someone forgot to use protection again! Our Billy just can't think straight around Dom, no? [grin])

[sassywitch.livejournal.com]

There's been sex in this story? *whistles innocently* I thought that was just about to start.

Thanks for the lovage sweetie, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

[daydreambeleevr.livejournal.com]

that was utterly divine. i swear, this story should come with smokes, just so we could light up when they finished. :grin:


and look, we've made the half way mark. (chapter 15) my guess is that Billy will pull away before Dom does, thinking to put some balance back into things. it's not like him to want this much, this deeply. Billy keeps trying to use the line that Dom doesn't know his own heart, that Dom's confusing "lust" with "love", but I think Dom knows just what and whom he wants.

great chapter!


kerry =)

[sassywitch.livejournal.com]

*passes cigarette*

Halfway indeed, now things are going to start getting really interesting.

[daydreambeleevr.livejournal.com]

now things are going to start getting really interesting.

now? now??

you and i obviously are not using the same dictionary, sweetie, if you think things are only going to start getting interesting now.

you had me at Dominic Monaghan drove into the Double L's dusty ranch yard, . *grin*

and yay! there's a new chapter up now.

:scurries away:

*poof*

[darkfaery1.livejournal.com]

Steamy hot and enjoyable as always, but I'm afraid what's in store for Billy and Dom once they come up for air.

[sassywitch.livejournal.com]

Be very afraid.

Once they get past the shag me into the mattress phase, Billy's going to be all concerned again.

Glad you're enjoying.

[divinemadam.livejournal.com]

That was even better than the original could even think of being!!!! I love Dom's honesty in what he wants. Coming from anyone else, his requests would seem a little trashy, but he just doesn't know that what he says is so hot! "I'll drop to my knees and worship you, beg you to take me, even as I suck you." That's hot! Billy just has no idea of what has hit him, does he?

[sassywitch.livejournal.com]

Because he's closeted himself away so much Dommie hasn't learned all the guile and trash that goes with a lot of relationship crap, so he's all refreshing and hot when he says what he feels.

you wait until we get to the waterhole chapter, that I always wanted the original to have.

[divinemadam.livejournal.com]

Oooh. I'm all tingly in anticipation!

[unbrokenmuse.livejournal.com]

Great holy mother of Guh!
Pardon my incoherency here but my higher brain functions just went on hiatus. Rebooting shall commence after I re-read this a few more times.
This feels like a build-up to crisis somehow. Who is the moth and who is the flame in this situation? In conclusion, great chapter!

[magikalcrab.livejournal.com]

Um. Wow. Yeah.

I just sat down and read the whole lot of these yesterday (I love getting paid to read at work!) and they're fantastic! I'm now sitting and waiting on the edge of my seat for more, though. Any chance of it, and soon? *bats eyelashes*

And while I think of it, which Elizabeth Lowell books did you use for inspiration? I've read a few and quite like them.

[loozy.livejournal.com]

Shower... Sex... Monaboyd... Oh yeah :D
