A/N: This is the seventh version of this chapter... I had a hell of a time writing this. So I got two boys to help me out. One had some honest and beautiful words, and the other had a bit of swearing and a general 'just do it' attitude. I needed both to write this. :) Thank you both. I shall now point to the M rating. This chapter is why. Hope it's everything you wanted Logan. ^^

Delays are Good

Logan and James arrived in Vancouver at two in the morning. As they walked toward a common room, Dante found them.

"Hey! Glad I found you two. We've been delayed," he said.

"How long?"

"Tomorrow at the earliest. Ship's retrofits are taking longer than they'd thought."

"So what do we do?" James asked.

"Find something to do. I guess at two a.m that's hard. Well... hm... ah! You two can stay at my place. I've got a guest room that's clean, quiet and private. You can stay there for a while. I'm sure you two can find something to do..."

"Are you suggesting something there Dante?" Logan asked. Dante laughed.

"Perhaps. Just 'cause you two are together doesn't mean you can't have a little fun."

"We are together." Dante smiled.

"all the more reason! Here, I'm forwarding my address to James' omni-tool. You two go there and get some rest. Maybe do a few other things. Anyway, it'll recognize you when you come in. The VI is called Nadia. She'll help you if you need anything."

"Thanks Dante," Logan said. Dante grabbed James' shoulder as he walked away.

"Hey, I know this is uncomfortable, but listen to my advice. Go slow. It'll hurt less for him. And chances are, he knows more than you do. So listen to him."

"Thanks?"

"You'll be more sincere in that thanks later. Just go. Have fun!"

James and Logan left the Alliance base and went to Dante's apartment.

"Verifying identification... welcome James Vega and Logan Valkyrie."

"Which room is the guest room?"

"The open door is the guest room." Logan and James went into the open room. The door slid shut behind them.

"Hey, you sure you wanna do this Logan?" James asked. Logan wrapped his arms around James' neck.

"I'm sure. I love you, and I know what I want. I want you." James slid his hands under Logan's shirt.

"You want me huh?" Logan kissed James.

"Yes. Sometimes I want you so bad it hurts." James pulled off Logan's shirt.

"I bet I want you more." Logan smiled.

"Not possible."

"We'll see." Logan pulled off James' shirt and kissed his neck.

"Have I ever mentioned how much I love your tattoos?" He asked as he traced the black marks on James' chest.

"I don't think you have. Maybe I'll get a new one next shore leave."

"Of what? Where?" James kissed along Logan's sharp jaw, stopping at his ear.

"Maybe a lightning bolt... wherever you want."

"Oh really?"

"Yep." Logan smirked and unbuttoned James' pants. James kicked off his boots and pulled off his pants.

"Your turn Lightning." Logan slid out of his boots and pants, starting to feel his nerves kick in.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah. A little nervous," Logan said. James took his hands.

"I'm a little nervous too. I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't. I trust you James." He took a step back from James, and slid out of his underwear. His eyes slid shut.

"Logan?"

"I'm fine. Just... trying to collect my thoughts." He slowly opened his eyes to see James, naked. Both men stood looking over each other for a moment. Logan sat on the edge of the bed. James gently pushed him back, taking one of his hands. He kissed Logan. His free hand slid up James' back and to his neck as James kissed his jaw.

"James..." Logan whispered as he felt James' hardening length against his thigh. James lips trailed down to his neck, gently kissing, nipping and sucking on one spot. He kissed down Logan's chest, stopping at his nipple. He flicked it with his tongue, causing Logan to moan. Feeling confident, James kissed and sucked on his nipple.

"Mmm... James..." He smirked as he kissed down his abs, dipping his tongue into Logan's belly button. James lips slid down his hips, hovering inches from Logan's cock.

"You're not going to-" He was cut off by James lips meeting the head of his cock. He grabbed Logan's hips as his knees hit James's neck. A low hiss escaped his lips as James took more in his mouth. He fought his reflexes, slowly taking all of Logan down his throat. James slowly released Logan, a slightly salty taste in his mouth. Logan grabbed handfuls of bed sheets as James' lips slid down his cock again. His back arched. James pulled back, catching his breath. When his lips met Logan again, he bit his lip.

"James... stop... I'm going to..." James slowly sat up, and put his hand on Logan's shoulder.

"Logan..." He pushed James to the bed lying on his stomach. Logan kissed James' firm ass, his tongue dancing across soft flesh.

"Logan... what are you... mmm..." James moaned concentrating on Logan's touch. He rolled over, grabbing Logan's shoulders.

"I want you now Logan." He didn't argue. He laid on his back, James on top of him. James positioned himself between Logan's spread legs, and slid his hand into Logan's. He slowly pushed into Logan's ass. Logan gasped, squeezing James' hand. It was painful, but it was a good pain. His eyes closed as he was stretched, James being as slow and gentle as he could. He finally stopped, and leaned close to Logan.

"Tell me when you're ready, beautiful." Logan nodded. He relaxed, the pain starting to subside. James was trying to stay calm, but feeling Logan warm and tight around him made it almost impossible. His heart raced. Logan's breathing slowed and his eyes opened.

"I'm ready James.

"You sure?"

"I'm sure." James nodded and slowly slid out, and pushed back in. Logan squeezed his hand.

"I'm fine. Move faster." James didn't reply. He thrust in and out of Logan's tight ass. Logan couldn't breathe as he felt a wave of ecstasy wash over him. He tried to speak, but no words escaped his lips. James pulled him in, kissing him passionately.

"I love you Logan."

"James... I... I... I love you too..." he breathed. James could tell Logan wasn't going to last much longer. He sped up. Logan's breathing was getting shallower and shallower. He screamed James' name as he came. James followed seconds later, his orgasm lingering for several seconds. He concentrated on breathing for a moment, then collapsed next to Logan. Both of them were breathing heavily and smiling.

"Logan..."

"Shh. There aren't words for what that was," Logan said as he rolled to lay against James.

"I guess not." James pulled him in, and they both drifted off to sleep.


Dante went into his apartment and checked his guest room.

"Boys?" They were both fast asleep. He smiled and went to his own room.

"Nadia, wake me up at 0800. Let the boys in the guest room sleep."

"As you wish Dante.


Logan woke with warm arms around him, a slight ache in his thighs, and a feeling that he really needed a shower. His eyes opened, and he smiled at the still slumbering James. He moved as lightly as he could, and kissed James. The reaction was delayed, but James kissed back, tightening his grip on his lover. Logan pulled away and James' eyes opened.

"Morning."

"Morning. You look... amazing," James said. Logan laughed.

"I really doubt that. But thank you James."

"You do. Your cheeks are red, your eyes all sleepy. Hair's messy." Logan smiled.

'You're fucking amazing James."

"Knew I would be," James said stretching and putting his hands behind his head. Logan hit him.

"That's not what I meant! ...but it is true." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Logan pulled the sheet over him as he sat up.

"Morning boys," Dante said as he came into the room.

"Hey."

"You two enjoy yourselves?" James and Logan exchanged a loving glance.

"I'll take that as a yes. Jill's latest is that we leave tomorrow at 0500. So rest today. We'll go check out the ship this evening," he added.

"All right. What can we do all day?" James asked.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be leaving that bed. But, you two can do whatever you want. There's lots to do in this place. And you can use the shower across the hall. I've got stuff to do, so I'll be back later." Dante left. James pulled Logan back against his chest. He kissed his lover's neck.

"What do you want to do?"

"Honestly... I can't remember the last time I ate," Logan replied. James laughed.

"We can do that. Let's go take a shower, then we'll go out to lunch."

Logan and James got out of bed and went to the bathroom. James turned on the shower.

"You gonna join me?" James asked. Logan smiled and they both got into the shower. James wrapped his arms around Logan's shoulders.

"You're rather clingy." James laughed

"I just feel close to you, that's all."

"I like it." James smiled as he washed away last night's mess from both of them, and kissed Logan.

"I love you," he whispered. Logan smiled.

"I love you too baby."

They got out of the shower, and James wrapped a towel around Logan's shoulders.

"Don't tell anyone I'm this soft. It'll ruin my reputation." Logan laughed.

"Your secret is safe with me." They got dressed and left the apartment, finding ways to kill time until they were called back to Alliance HQ.


A/N: I hope this is really good. Adam and I can't talk to each other without giggling for the moment. I finished this at three in the morning, and my MP3 player decided it was funny. It was playing 'Who Needs Sleep' by the Barenaked Ladies. XD
