They had been together for six blissful months, and yet there was one thing about his newly-found, forever lover to which Chris still couldn't get used to. Men in their position had to be ready to go at any time. At the drop of a hat, one or many lives may depend on their rushing against the clock and saving the day just in time, and to succeed in doing that, they always had to be ready.

Part of that preparation, in Captain Larabee's mind, was being at least partially dressed for the occasion. He never went to bed in anything less than the bottom half of his long johns, and yet every night, about this time, his lover surprised and delighted him yet again. The blonde man's keen, green eyes turned to the door as it swung open, and then he smiled for his beloved Vin had certainly yet to disappoint him.

He watched as he approached their bed, his suddenly hungry eyes feasting upon his lean, glistening muscles and traveling from his merrily twinkling blue eyes all the way down the scope of his hard and sexy body. He shook his head in a combination of amazement and wonder, both at the sight before him and at the fact that his Texan never wore clothes to bed.

"Like what you see, stud?" Vin asked in his slow, sensual drawl. The instant pressure against Chris' long johns spoke his answer plainly before them, though Vin had not even needed that delectable sight to know that Chris did. There was a connection between them that went beyond words and beyond anything either man had ever known, and yet he still managed to surprise and delight his life mate.

Vin grinned at that acknowledgement, and his smile grew as he reached down and pressed his lips against Chris'. His blue eyes seemed to laugh as they danced into Chris' green orbs, and Chris understood and agreed with his unspoken sentiment immediately. They were the luckiest, if the most sleep deprived, men ever to grace this globe called Earth, and they would get no sleep again tonight! Chris wrapped his arms around Vin, pulled him underneath their blankets, and snuggled him as they swept home together again and again all night long!

The End
