Jack Robinson was a risk adverse creature. He had a reputation for being steady and true, a gentleman and a firm but compassionate arm of the law. Jack Robinson however was a man and men always had their vices. Right now, his biggest vice was lying on the bed next to him, waking up from a brief contented doze after an energetic afternoon. The electrical appliance was safely switched off and put to the side, their limbs pleasantly aching and the warm glow of satisfaction had not abated. Jack could still feel the flutter of the vibrations on his balls, the tips of Lin's fingertips breezing over his skin, igniting the most delicate of passions, of trembling breaths and explosive sighs. He whimpered as he remembered Lin's hand wrapped possessively around his cock, hungry lips sliding up and down, electrifying his lover with every lick and suck. Jack had groaned and bucked in agonising ecstasy. Sprawled out on the hard utility bed, he didn't mind the juxtaposition of such hedonism amidst the austere severity. Despite his luxurious abode, Lin made no objection to Jack's spartan existence and had dived eagerly into his bed from the moment he was permitted to. It should have felt grubby, shameful but it hadn't taken long for their awkwardness to disappear and the rhythm of their desire to harmonise.

Jack didn't know how he would defend his actions in front of his superiors, confiscating an item from the Chinese brothel, not just for the sake of it but to employ the use of it with his illegal lover. For illegal was what it was, what they were doing. The most dangerous thing Jack would do in his life. Even fighting in the trenches wouldn't be as dangerous. For death would be guaranteed respectably. Fighting for King and country. But to do what they were doing was truly punishable, especially in the knowledge that they were on borrowed time. So far they'd been lucky and had gotten away with it but for how long, nobody knew. Jack borrowed into the other man, turning his head to tickle his chest with the tip of his tongue. Lin opened his eyes with a sleepy smile, thumb caressing the other man's temple and Jack thought as he did every time, that if today would be their last day, it would all be worth it. He'd have to hold onto the secret pleasure should they be found out. But they'd decided to take their chances.

After all, no man is an island.
