Jeanette Kofoed. The Forbidden Kiss He walked slowly down the pier, remembering his childhood by the ocean. He sighed, knowing that those days were over. He came to a bench and sat down looking over the water, and enjoyed the beautiful sight the moonlight created on top of the water. Beautiful just like... A pair of familiar hands suddenly covered his eyes and he smiled to himself, pushing into the soft touch. "Did anyone ever tell you that you look beautiful in the moonlight?" A soft voice whispered into his ear. He raised his hands and gently lifted the hands covering his eyes down to his lips and kissed them. Without turning around he whispered; "I missed you, Julian." He then stood up and faced the man of his dreams, his lover, his friend and companion. Standing there separated by the bench, the two stood looking at each other, their eyes meeting and telling each other without words, how much they loved one another. "Tom, I missed you too. And I want you to come with me, next time I leave." Julian searched Tom's eyes carefully, looking for his answer. Knowing what Julian looked for, Tom broke the gaze and looked down. He sighed, hating to say what he was going to say. "Julian, I'm sorry but I can't. My father doesn't want me to, not after my mother just died, and I want to finish at the Academy first." Tom didn't look up, he wanted so much to go back with Julian to DS9, but he wanted a future for himself, not just tagging along with Julian and being dependent on him. He wanted to fly, to teach, but he also wanted Julian. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Julian walking up to him and embracing him. "Then spend the night with me before I leave again, please Tom." The two walked hand in hand down the pier and back to a condo Julian had rented for his stay. They ate in silence and sat on the couch kissing and snuggling before they went to bed. Julian slowly undressed Tom, gently stroking his hands up and down the lean body, loving the strong and yet soft feeling of Tom's skin under his hands. "Say you love me," Julian said to the man laying underneath him. "I love you," a soft voice murmured back. With that Julian proceeded to remove his own clothes and then started making love to the moaning man underneath him. He gently prepared him for entry, then when he felt that Tom was ready for him, he started thrusting into the warm and heated body. Tom thrashed under him, moaning and arching his back each time Julian hit that special spot. With a muffled cry he came, and a second after he felt Julian release his essence deep within him. Julian pulled Tom into his arms and the two drifted off to sleep. Katherine Paris walked slowly along the street looking for a present for her brother. She wasn't sure what to buy for him, but probably an old fashioned wooden airplane. Tom hadn't been the same since their mother had died three weeks ago. After a prolonged serious illness she had passed away, the doctors unable to do anything about it. Kat was sure that if it hadn't been for Tom 's boyfriend, her brother would have been more unhappy. After a couple of hours she sat down at a cafe, enjoying the relaxation. Sitting awfully close to some Starfleet Cadets, she couldn't avoid overhearing their conversation. "So, you saw the Paris kid right?" Murmured words of appreciation went around the table the four cadets shared. "A true beauty, and he has to have a boyfriend. I wouldn't mind trying him out one day and trust me I have asked. But he is just so damned faithful to his boyfriend. A damn shame I tell you. A body like that shouldn't go to waste." Katherine sat back, listening to these boys, and smiled. They had the hots for her brother. Katherine's face suddenly paled. "I thought you all knew. His boyfriend is sex addict and sleeps with everything and everyone he can get his hands on. My brother, who went to the Academy at the same time as this doctor, told me that everyone was surprised when the two started dating. Not because of who the kid was, but because of how long they were together. He usually changed his bedmate twice a month. If you know what I mean." She couldn't listen to this, she had to get away. As fast as she could she walked back home, while contemplating whether or not she should tell her brother. Just before she entered their house, she had decided. Tom walked down the hall, thinking hard about what his sister had said. Julian had someone else. Another lover. Tom wouldn't believe it, he couldn't. Julian had told him that he loved him. Hadn't he? Tom remembered clearly the first day he had set his eyes on Julian. He was a dark and exotic beauty but he had seemed unreachable. Julian was a senior and Tom only a freshman, and besides that Julian already had a girlfriend, and was probably not even interested in men. Tom had known for years that only boys and men had his sexual interest but he had never pursued his feelings. He was too shy and too scared. Scared of what his mother would say, and even more scared of his father. After a few months of lusting after the older boy it had turned out that Julian liked both men and woman, and a flicker of hope had started in Tom. Tom knew that he was charming, beautiful and attractive. But was it enough to get Julian's attention? It was. Two weeks after Julian had broken up with his current boyfriend he had started pursuing Tom. He didn't know how to respond to Julian's subtle touches and words, still afraid of his parents' reaction and how this would actually work. In the end, Tom decided to forget about everything for a while and accepted Julian's invitation. The two had dated since then and that was three years ago. Surely Julian wasn't with someone else; true, Julian was a flirt and an addict for sex, but he had sworn that he would wait until Tom had graduated. Tom rounded the corner lost in his thoughts as he heard a familiar laugh. Julian's laughter. He quickly hid behind the corner and saw Julian walk out from one of the store rooms. He wasn't alone. Behind him walked a woman and Tom guessed that she was about twenty five, Julian's age. Tom wasn't sure what to think of it, before Julian took her face and kissed her thoroughly on the lips. That was the last thing Tom saw, as he ran back to the fresh air and home. Julian impatiently pushed the door-chime to Tom's house. 'Why won't they open?' He thought to himself. He knew that he was half an hour late for their date and it had been Brianna's fault. She had wanted to cuddle after they'd had sex. The doors to the large house suddenly opened and a blond head peeped out at him - Tom's sister. "Yes what can I do for you?" She asked nonchalantly. Julian was certain that he saw something in her eyes but like Tom, she was good at disguising her feelings. "Can I speak to Tom, we have a date." Julian asked as politely he could, but all she did was continue to stare at him. Julian was about to ask again but she spoke. "Tom isn't home. He has been transferred to a flight station to finish his pilot training." Julian looked at her dumbfounded - surely there was a mistake, Tom would have told him. He just excused himself and walked back to his shuttle. Once back in it, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask where Tom was. 'Damn, I'll just have to ask Sisko, maybe he can find out,' Julian though bitterly. End Part one Continued in Part two May 2000 Jeanette Kofoed |
