Horatio Caine was one of the last people anyone would have thought that would be given to anger especially when it came to matters of the heart. He had earned his position of Lieutenant the hard way by hard work and persistence of justice, however he was as human as the next guy, the weeks leading up to this were stressful even for the formidable Horatio Caine. First one drug deal gone horribly wrong brought two adults and four children into his autopsy room, and then a bank robber killed by an overzealous guard and to finish that week out a double homicide on a luxury yacht. Even the firecracker Calliegh was wearing down now granted she had the least workload of the team but still she stepped in and helped Eric and Ryan with their cases.
Horatio was great full for the small things in this week of tragedy like he was glad Ryan was keeping his cool with what he had just seen. Great full for the most part that Ryan had not told a soul of his discovery of the pair locked in a most embarrassing position, Eric had suspected something was amiss when the young Ryan Wolfe came out of the csi locker room red-faced and grinning. The next one to appear had been calliegh and for what it mattered Eric had thought it had been Ryan and Calliegh that had met in there.
There had been a difficult crime scene that was filthy and required the two to shower and who would blame them after they said crime scene was filled with blood and gore… It had fallen on Calliegh to get into the thick of the blood to retrieve the handgun in the end she had got a glock that had been sent to her ballistics lab to further study. Redressing himself Horatio still smelled her scent of perfume that shed playfully sprit zed him with. He breathed it in as much as he could before pulling on his shirt and images of their brief session were still fresh in his mind he almost got excited all over again. That's when Eric Delko opened the door to the locker room and saw his Lt. in boxers and a striped shirt still yet to be buttoned,
Eric looked to the older man ahead of him and saw the tell signs that he had freshly showered. Coming over to his boss and friend he smiled and got a whiff of something fruity yet woodsy… a combination of colognes. Deciding to not press his boss for an answer he went to the restroom were after relieving himself he found Calliegh necklace still on the sink, at first he dismissed it as she had forgotten to put it back on but then he remembered he was in the men's room and what would calliegh do in here.
He stuck the necklace in his pocket and went back out to the locker room where his Lt. had now buttoned up and was putting pants on a loose tie hung around the redheaded mans neck. Sighing Eric went and sat beside the man he admired for his courage and forthrightness looking over to him he finally said something. "H I saw Ryan come out of here with a weird look on his face... you see Calliegh and." he was stopped by the piercing blue eyes of his Lt.
Horatio knew Ryan hadn't said a word he had been too embarrassed to do much more than stare...when Calliegh had caught Ryan's eyes she had invite him to join in and the trace expert blush bright red because he hadn't been staring at her but at his boss. Never in his wildest dream did Ryan think H was that toned or handsome when naked. Most of the staff in the lab hadn't questioned Ryan yet on his girlfriends or lack of, sure he kept a few around just to keep up appearances. But truth be told he wasn't entirely sure himself which way he preferred. Ryan Wolfe the trace expert in one of the states finest crime labs, the title that proceeded him came with an air of male confidence when truly he didn't know if he preferred the guys or the gals for right now he was definitely confused but like any good man he stuck with the women.
It had been later that day when the team was relived to go home for the weekend that he had caught a few last emails and paperwork was being filed away that he noticed a keychain with a single key on it next to his computer. Picking it up him saw that it was Horatio's handwriting on a small square 'My place at 7 doesn't be late... come around to the pool.' For the life of him he couldn't think of why his boss had done something such as leave a key on his desk, looking at the computers clock he saw the time being 5:45. Glancing around he stuffed the key in his jeans pocket and shut everything down for the weekend taking the laptop with him he made his way to his truck and started the engine. Fifteen minutes later he was at a stop light waiting on the signal and made the decision to go to Horatio's house to return the key to its owner. Two rights, one left, one straight and another right found him at Seacomb Lane a street with very nice houses better that Ryan's salary could buy.
The Caine residence was about ¾ of the way down the gently sloping street on a flat piece of property that boarded the beach... it was like he had imagine the house would be it seemed to fit the neighborhood but was slightly understated when you compared it to Miami's posh lifestyle.
The two story barely tan stucco façade was muted compared to the surrounding homes; it was nestled into some tall trees that even Ryan himself hadn't seen since he was eight or ten. The drive was typical pavement inset with red and orange bricks where the sidewalk arched towards the front door. Getting out of his truck he seemed to almost have to squint to see the fork in the drive way. Walking down the fork he came to some stepping stones that seemed to lead into a stucco wall, watching he noticed that the last visible one was still wet with a dainty footprint on it facing the said wall. Being a CSI curiosity got the better of him and he traced the wet print coming up even with it he noticed the latch to the hidden door was there.
A padlock was hanging off the latch and he thought then of the key Horatio had left him, pulling it out it fit perfectly and the latch freed itself and the door swung open to reveal a pool that was immaculately kept. The elongated oval shape of the pool led his eye to a set of four lounge chairs, two were stacked with towels and a tray of items meant to be shared. Slowly moving towards the chairs he heard a snicker come from the hot tub just opposite the deep end of the pool. Turning he saw Calliegh sitting in it relaxing with a drink in her hand. She was so beautiful that he didn't even see that he was walking towards her and most importantly he didn't see Horatio staring at the younger man.
Horatio grinned as Calliegh took and held Ryan's attention; he slipped behind the man and grabbed his shoulder. He would have thought that the younger man was going to jump in the hot tub fully clothed for the fright. "Relax Mr. Wolfe were friends here." Giving Ryan time to calm down Horatio looked eye to eye with the colleague then smiling he finally saw Ryan look over his almost naked body. Standing letting his trace expert take his time he pulled the man's eyes up to his. "I assume you got the note I left. Good there is a set of swimming trunks over in the bath house would you be so nice as to change and join us for some relaxation."
Ryan thought it was all a dream and just stared at his boss standing there in a pair of swim trunks that matched his eyes and his characteristic shades. It took him a full 5 minutes to figure out that Horatio was telling him it was okay to join them that he had invited him. Going to change he slipped into the hot tub beside the ballistics expert and firecracker of a woman Calliegh. Two hours later the trio had retired to the cooler pool to negate the hot temperature of the air and the water of the hot tub.
Ryan wasn't sure what had led him to accept Horatios offer to relax, but now that the sun had set and it was getting chilly he saw Calliegh and H go into the house grabbing a towel he did likewise and found his clothes neatly folded on a table. Going to get them he was stopped by Calliegh smirk. "What...I'm getting cold"
"You don't want to ruin our fun tonight do you?" She heard Horatio laugh and say something from the stairs... "Just a minute handsome I'm trying to get Ryan involved" She smiled and took his hand leading him up to the master bed room and the pair saw Horatios sunburn." Oh handsome you burnt…" she walks over to him and soothes it with feather light kisses.
Ryan looked away and tried to leave when Horatio came to him "Ryan I've noticed you watching me... and for this weekend I'm giving you a chance to try it out. That is if you want to. "He couldn't believe that his boss was suggesting what he'd been thinking for a year now. An actual relationship... or more precisely a physical arrangement.
Calliegh smiled having encircled Ryan holding onto Horatios arms. Horatio had pressed into the trace experts growing erection causing him to moan. "Ryan I am telling you that I'm, we are willing to do you if you let us. Calliegh let's get him to the bed I think Mr. Wolfe is getting dizzy on us." He watched her push the other man down on the bed and sit astride him. The bed was made for more than two people and the trio lay comfortably close when Horatio saw Ryan's attention was on Calliegh he leaned over Ryan and kissed him senseless.
Ryan didn't fight the sensations the pair were giving him, instead he grabbed H and deepened the kiss only breaking it for the lack of oxygen. "UMMM wow H where'd that come from?" He was intently focused on H until Calliegh pushed down on his dry swim trunks. Looking past the redhead he saw the blonde smile deviously at the two men, the total 180 she had now from the normal coolness shocked Ryan. There was no doubt in their minds where the night would take them, for one Ryan was committed to this and the stoic Horatio Caine was driven to show young Ryan that the weekend just started.
Horatio pulled the other man up into is lap and backed to the headboard of the bed to gain support as calliegh lowered herself down his legs and played with the inner thighs. Hearing the sharp intake of air Ryan gave at her ministrations Horatio played with the brown heads ears. Licking him thoroughly tasting chlorine and now the salt from is sweat made him shift uncomfortably under Ryan. When he pressed his lips to the man's shoulder he felt Ryan reach for his straining member. Finally contact, not wanting to take the younger mans attention off the blonde angel in front of them Horatio batted the hand away only to hear a slight snort and a look from the hands owner.
"Come on H your in this too. Let me... help you" Ryan dislodged Calliegh and turned so swiftly she gasped. He now sat straddle H's thighs and had an almost lustful look in his eyes as he pulled the swim trunks down to expose his boss. The one thing happened next surprised Ryan; his boss was a submissive in the sexual relationship area. "Hey look at me... H with me you tell me what you want." The revelation of Lt. Horatio Caine being a submissive only aroused him more. With this new information the night only got more interesting.
Calliegh sat watching and finally told Ryan. "Let me get you slicked up before you take H. "she pushed Ryan down on his butt and straddled him making him enter her which caused all three to sigh simultaneously. She felt Horatio behind her close in and he kissed her shoulders moving with them.
Horatio heard a radio playing suddenly and for what he could tell it was in the room but when he looked to the alarm clock it was silent yet the music was getting louder, when Calliegh and Ryan came he was jolted out of what had been a dream. Looking up to where Calliegh had been there was no one except himself in his queen sized bed. Confused he looked at the blaring alarm clock and it was 6:00 sharp Two hours till his shift started he groaned as he sat up and realized his sleep pants were constricting, most likely because of the vivid sex dream he had. Next he noticed that he had a huge patch of gauze over his left shoulder and one on his foot which now throbbed with a vengeance. He heard water running and a male voice swear. Who was it in his house, Ryan, Eric, Frank? Oh god forbid it be Frank and see him like this. Attempting to get upright he knew now that whatever had happened to him was serious enough to warrant someone helping him, he stepped out of bed and slid down on the floor with a clang of what must have been something put over him to warn whomever it was that he was awake.
Groaning he could tell his feet wasn't going to hold him and he had no choice but to sit here and wait. It wasn't long till footsteps became louder and sounded familiar, but who those supposed to belong to died a year ago in a jewelry shootout, in his mind Horatio played out the scene again briefly and swore that the man had died even that they'd buried him. This was impossible Speed here alive, where had the year gone. Horatio rubbed his red hair and thought then he remembered that speed hadn't died in the shooting but was in a comma for four months and slowly but surely he had come home.
Tim Speedle ascended the stairs to Horatios room and saw the red headed Lt. in a heap on the floor not far from his bed. "H told you not to get up without yelling for me." Shaking his head he went to help the man up to his chair, a wheelchair. "I know Ray jr. said you were stubborn but jeezee H you foots broke I don't think you're going to walk on it for awhile."
Horatio looked at Speed and followed him when he sat in front of him. "Speed your alive?" The look he got was confused but accepting. "What the hell happened to me Speed… what happened to you …..? I remember your funeral the 21 gun salute." This only enhanced the worry lines on the other man's face. Lines that was defiantly for him.
"H I'm here I did get shot in the jewelry store but calliegh was close enough to find us and put pressure on the wound until Stetler arrived and accompanied me to the hospital. You never left my side. They took me to surgery and for some reason I was in a coma for four months remember you came by every night and sat with me for the entire time. "As speed narrated memories flooded back... memories of nights in the lunch room and barely agreeing to take turns with his team. But the team together had watched over Tim and when he awoke Horatio had been there to be the one person he first saw. After another 5 months of rehab the trace expert was allowed to return to duty with lab only work because of the damage to his arm.
Horatio sighed and looked to the man. "I'm sorry speed it's just been an ordeal." He didn't know if this was real but the pain seemed to assure him that it was. And if this were real why was speed pushing him to the shower that he'd just started running. Getting in the bathroom Speed helped him take off the bandages except for his foot cast which was wrapped in a plastic bag and tapped up. Then what Horatio saw next jolted him, Speed began getting undressed. Pulling H into the running water Speed gently washed the red haired Lt. no matter this was his boss he still helped the man bathe.
Halfway through the shower Speed noticed Horatio watch him move around him and sucked in a breath when a soapy wash cloth was aimed at the groin area. "Its ok H I'm not gonna hurt you. But if you want you can do it." He handed the cloth to him and let him was as best he could.
