(I know it's been a little while, lovely readers, but I'm finally getting at least something out to you. Granted, it's a little late, but it was entered into a contest so I couldn't post it anywhere else until the judging was finished, and then I've just been so busy…! Regardless, here's a little Halloween smut, just for you guys. ^^ Enjoy)

Did they really have to keep touching him like that? Running their manicured fingers over the bar top and batting their eyes at him? Did they think he'd fix them free drinks if they came onto him? Or that he'd follow them home as soon as he got off the clock? Why couldn't they see that his interest barely reached beyond the admiration of the physical, with no promise of more behind it? Why couldn't they see he was already taken?

"Ladies." He could hear that familiar, sultry purr from where he stood and it immediately got his hackles rising. Of course, if he didn't flirt right back at them quite so much, it might have helped them to take the hint and leave him alone.

Ellis strode over to the bar, his mouth set in a determined frown, and slid onto the closest open stool, annoyed by the amused smirk the older man behind the bar sent his way. "I wanna drink," he ordered, pushing his cowboy hat back so that it rested on its string around his neck. It had been Nick's idea to bring Ellis along to the bar for his shift tonight, considering there was a Halloween party going on and Nick was going to be forced to be in costume anyway. Why not let the hick enjoy himself in the meantime until they could go home together?

"You'll have to wait your turn, sport. I'm serving these lovely ladies at the moment." Nick turned back to the giggling trio with a charming smile, leaning toward them ever so slightly. Ellis had to admit, the man was damned fine, especially with that – ironic – police uniform as his outfit. With that hat cocked at just the right angle… Ellis fought off a little shiver. He wouldn't mind getting pulled over by Officer Nick. Not at all.

"Now, what can I help you three with?" Nick's flirty return to the three girls – dressed as fairies or something, with cutesy little wings on their backs and glittery makeup around their eyes – helped to spoil Ellis' rising good mood immediately.

The two brunettes shared a look while their blonde companion rested her elbow on the bar. "I could think of quite a few things," she murmured in a tone that set Ellis' teeth on edge. "But we'll have a round of martinis to get us started."

Nick's smirk widened. "Well, I'm here to serve. Those drinks will be right up." Ellis fought the urge to glare at the girls as Nick turned around and started fixing the requested martinis. Usually Ellis wasn't the jealous type at all, but there was just something about Nick… It wasn't even like they were married or anything, there was no way that those girls could know that Nick was unavailable. He certainly wasn't hurting anyone by flirting back; actually, it was probably very good for business to have such a ladies' man behind the bar.

But that still didn't mean he had to like it.

By the time Nick turned back to give the girls their drinks, Ellis had worked himself up past the point of simply not reacting. "Now, kiddo, is there anything that I can do for you?" Ellis blinked, bringing Nick suddenly back into focus when he realized that the former conman's attention was now focused solely on him. Those intense green eyes bored into his, almost daring him to make a move as his lips quirked up at the corners.

Ellis leaned forward across the bar top without thinking, bracing his arms on the slick wooden surface. His plaid sleeves slid a bit but then seemed to catch against the wood and held firm, helping him to lever his weight up and over to grab Nick by the collar, dragging him forward to crush their mouths together. Nick responded immediately and enthusiastically, his fingers tangling in his hair while his tongue swept in to take control, ravishing his mouth with fierce desperation.

By the time they pulled away from one another, they had earned the attention of at the least the entirety of the bar itself, if not every patron in the room at the moment. Satisfied by the total shock on the faces of the three fairy girls, Ellis leaned his elbow on the bar with a cocky grin, tugging his hat back into place as he resettled his boots on the rungs of his stool. "I'll take a beer, man."

Nick's eyes were dark with arousal, promising retribution later.

Ellis couldn't wait.

(Time skip)

The sharp jab of metal digging into his spine wasn't nearly distracting enough compared to the drugging heat of Nick's mouth locked onto his. He could hear Nick fumbling with his keys, trying to unlock the door without lifting his head. "Shit…!" Ellis felt himself falling backward as the door fell open behind him, scrambling to latch onto something before he landed on his ass.

Nick's arm wrapped firmly around him before he went too far, keeping him close as the door shut behind them. "Easy, fireball," he whispered, "I've got you."

Ellis grinned. "Would you'a been there for me if them girls from earlier were here?"

Nick rolled his eyes. "Damn it, kid, weren't we about to fuck?"

Ellis leaned back, but Nick's arm was firm against his back and gave him no room to really go anywhere. "Uh-uh, Officer, not until ya answer my question."

He watched as Nick's brows wrinkled under the brim of his police hat for a moment, but then they cleared and a purely salacious look crossed his features. Ellis swallowed hard. He had a feeling that he knew where this was going now. And he didn't have any complaints, no sir.

"All right, then, partner. We'll play it your way." Ellis gave a little startled yelp as he was suddenly flipped around and pressed against the wall with his arms behind his back, squirming as he felt the cool steel suddenly ratchet shut around his wrists.

"Nick, man, what the hell?" he demanded, twisting around to try and see the other male. Nick smirked down at him.

"Just giving you what you asked for, sport."

"I haven't been read my rights yet, officer," he snipped, wriggling. Nick leaned into him and Ellis gave a little moan, grinding back against him.

"All right, then, you have the right to remain silent." Nick tugged the bandana from around his younger lover's neck and secured it between his overactive lips, grinning at the startled look on his face. "Until I say otherwise. You have the right to be searched very thoroughly for weapons or contraband. Officer Nick will be doing these searches. You have no telephone calls or lawyers." His hands were already slipping under the plaid shirt, pushing the vest downward until it caught on his bound hands. "Since you can't talk, I assume you understand your rights, and agree with them."

Ellis gave a muffled moan as Nick's hands slipped into his pants and continued to work at stripping him, pressing his naked ass back into the cool wall when the worn denims fell around his ankles, tangling around his boots. Nick tossed his hat onto the nearby couch and then leaned down to be on the level with Ellis' face. "Stay right here, cowboy."

He strolled off, sending his own hat to join the brown cowboy hat already on the sofa, and Ellis did as he was told and stayed put, squirming. He loved it when Nick indulged him like this, but all he really wanted was to be fucked good and hard. Trust Nick to feel playful now of all times.

When the older man returned, he was naked, much to Ellis' delight. And carrying the lube. "Looks like you're not carrying anything in your clothes, kiddo," he said with a smirk as he uncapped it and squirted a generous amount into his palm, tossing it to the side as well. "Time for the cavity search." Ellis' heart rate picked up, and he kicked his head back into the wall and panted as Nick slipped first one, then two fingers inside him, scissoring them until he groaned, begging him to get on with it and fuck him already. Nick just glanced up at him with a little grin and eased a third finger in, enjoying the chorus of moans that rose up in response.

His own cock was clearly reacting positively to teasing the other, and he reached up with his free hand to free the hick from his gag, immediately sealing their mouths together, apparently intent on doing an equally thorough 'search' of this cavity as well. Ellis wasn't going to be the one that stopped him.

"C'mon, man," he whined, "I wanna touch ya, too…" He tugged at the handcuffs keeping his hands secured and Nick paused, removing his fingers from Ellis' now-stretched opening to slick his cock with more lube, almost ready to move on to the main event. But first…

"I don't think this is about what you want, cowboy." Nick flipped him around again so that his face was pressed against the wall, whining until he felt Nick pressing into him, sliding in until he was buried to the hilt. Ellis moaned and rested his heated cheek against the wall, his fingers curling and uncurling searchingly.

Nick chuckled, pressed close to his back, his breath warm and hot on the nape of Ellis' neck. "So persistent."

Ellis had to bite his lip when Nick really started to move. He tried to buck back into every thrust, but it was mighty difficult with his hands still captured as they were at the moment. "N-Nick," he groaned, "C'mon, man, please…"

Nick grunted and began fucking him even harder. Ellis thought his knees were going to give way clean out from under him. "T-that's not what I meant an' you know it!" But he still couldn't deny enjoying it, especially when Nick started to nibble at his neck from behind. Looked like he was going to be wearing something with a high collar for a little while. Nick never went away without leaving a mark. It should have been annoying, but on a guy like Nick it was only a sign of how much he had come to actually mean to the other man.

The sudden click of the handcuffs coming undone drew Ellis back from his hazy sexual reverie, immediately bringing them forward to brace against the wall while the circulation returned, sending tingles through all ten of his fingers and even into his palms a little. Even though this was exactly what he'd been asking for, at this point he was so swept up in the ridiculously amazing pounding of Nick's cock in and out of him that he couldn't even remember what he'd wanted them to be loose for.

"Shit… Ellis…" Nick's voice was a quick and appreciated reminder, and Ellis' arms curved around behind him to curl around his lover's neck, hanging on tight as Nick continued to fuck him relentlessly, their breaths coming out in short bursts. Ellis tangled his fingers in the usually-slicked back hair and leaned his head back, moaning loudly. Nick was more than happy to return the noise with one of his own, then their mouths somehow managed to fuse together again, only adding to their arousal.

"N-Nick, m'close, man," he whined, trembling all over as the end approached, suddenly and rapidly without nearly enough warning to be able to hold it off.

"F-fucking hell, kid," Nick groaned, and Ellis flushed.

"M'sorry," he began, but then Nick did something that made his insides twist and he dropped his head with a shout, writhing on his lover's cock as he clenched around him, splattering the wall in front of him with his come.

He could feel Nick still fucking him hard and fast as he slowly descended from orgasm and into the sated bliss that followed, but it didn't take long at all for Nick to follow him to the end, relaxing against him so that they were propped up on the wall, content to catch their breath and cuddle standing up for a little while.

Ellis nuzzled back into Nick's shoulder briefly, smiling. "So, did I pass inspection, Officer?" he asked. Nick cracked open one eye to skim him with a brief look.

"Yeah, yeah," he muttered. "How about we hit the shower and we'll start phase two?"

"Mmm, but this time, kin you wear the cuffs instead?"
