I am SO TERRIBLY SORRY! You know how RL can be. Thank you to those several people who reviewed "come on!". I needed a swift kick in the pants. That said, this chapter is a sexy filler to satisfy you and buy me time to think about the plot again. eek! (I may get it beta'd and repost as well...)

WARNINGS! gay lovin'! nudity! swearing!

Without further ado: the fourth chapter of Opportunity.

- >- >-

Ennis woke up the next morning unpleasantly cool. The blankets were on the floor and the sheet pushed down just past his bottom. The trailer's windows were open to the breeze and Jack was not next to him. For a heart-fluttering moment, he thought it had all been a dream as he looked up, panicked and eyes still muzzy with sleep.

He was treated to a lovely sight, and one he had never glimpsed before. Jack watched him with pale eyes, slung comfortably on the stool with his elbows on the counter. He was naked.

"Jack." He breathed, shifting on the thin bed. He winced as his lower back twinged. Definitely not a dream.

"Mornin'." Jack replied easily, a corner of his mouth lifting at the way Ennis' eyes hungrily flitted over his body, heat in their dark depths. He let his knee fall to one side invitingly.

It took Ennis but a small moment to rise, stand in front of him and take Jack's head in his hands as he always did, and kiss him urgently. Jack chuckled into his mouth, pulled away slightly to murmur "Where's the fire?" as he turned the kiss more languid and lazy, as was proper for morning. Everything about Ennis spoke of desperation. "Whoa," he said it quiet and soothing, like talkin to a spooked horse, "we've got time now. Ain't no damn sheep." Ennis pressed his face into Jack's shoulder, and the darker cowboy couldn't tell if his shaking was laughter or tears. He sighed and comfortably hooked his heels together at the small of Ennis' back, waiting to be kissed again.

When it came, he was almost surprised. Ennis put his hands on Jack's back, stroking softly up and down and nudging Jack's nose with his own. Their eyes locked for what seemed like eternity before Ennis' brown irises flicked down to Jack's bruised, full lips. He leaned in, reaching across the last small gap with the tip of his tongue, running it along the warm soft crease between Jack's two lips. Jack made a soft huffing sound in his throat.

"Wait, wait, Ennis, I wanted to talk to you about something." he said, remembering, thinking of ranches and futures and homes with double beds. Ennis silenced him with a languid kiss, smoother and easier because Jack's head was free to move, unfettered by the large hands which now circled lower and lower on his back. Each swipe of Ennis' tongue was followed by a press of soft lips, and he broke away for the barest moment to echo Jack's words. "We got time." Jack laughed as Ennis' mouth returned to his. He nipped Ennis' bottom lip with a hiss as a callused finger slid gently down between the muscular halves of his backside. Jack lifted himself off the stool, pressing against Ennis as if to crawl inside him.

In the barest second, he was lying on his back on the tiny single bed, legs over Ennis' shoulders and a finger stroking in and out of him slowly. He looked down along his own firm chest, the slight belly, past his begging cock to Ennis, whose eyes shone with lust and mouth hung slightly open, panting, as he watched his finger disappear rhythmically into Jack's willing body. Jack moaned, a gutteral sound of need. This slow, this looking, it was new. They hadn't had time before. Even now that they did, Jack didn't want to go slow. When Ennis rubbed firmly over his prostate, he bucked his hips with impatience.

"Fuck," he whispered. "Oh fuck!" shocked because Ennis ran his tongue over the crown of Jack's cock and that was something he had never, ever done before in all their years of furtive encounters. His fingers tangled in that blond hair as the tongue returned again and again, until Jack couldn't stand it any more and pulled him up and away. He kissed Ennis bruisingly for just a moment, and panted, open-mouthed, hot breath puffing against a rough cheek.

Ennis waited until Jack recovered slightly, until those shining blue eyes locked with his own before he pushed inside him with breath-catching slowness. When he was fully seated, he paused for a moment, listening to Jack's little noises, feeling the tiny impatient shifting of his hips as he tried to get that thick cock to fuck him.

"Oh hells...Ennis!" he growled finally, breaking their intense gaze. Ennis frowned slightly in concentration as he pulled away, almost sliding all the way out of the smaller body beneath him before slamming his cock back inside Jack, angling to hit his prostate. "Fuck!" he cried out before pulling Ennis' mouth back down to his own.

The slipping and probing of their lips and tongue matched the relentless slide of Ennis within Jack, who begged with every kiss for more of everything. Ennis gave it to him, thrusting faster, his every muscle taunt and feeling Jack's fingers pawing at every reachable inch of his skin. Their teeth clicked together and neither cared because Ennis was deep inside him and Jack couldn't help but lift his hips with each inward stroke, cushioning the sharp slap of Ennis' hips with his fleshy bottom.

Ennis' every nerve ending filled with sharp, urgent sweetness. He felt fingers against his belly as Jack took himself in hand, moaning and pulling as his muscles clasped in waves around Ennis' cock. "Fuck," one of them whispered, maybe both of them. Jack stroked himself, dug the nails of his other hand into Ennis' neck, probed his mouth without mercy. Ennis slammed right into his prostate and Jack was tossed off that rodeo, flying through air as Ennis bucked against him still, coming in shudders and relaxing into the sticky semen on Jack's belly. He carefully lowered Jack's legs, removed the bites from their kisses and soothed with his tongue.

"Jack." he murmured, but that's all he could say. Jack laced their fingers together and let Ennis just press down on him, content to feel that weight. They traded little kisses for hours as the sun moved higher, and didn't think about outside the trailer. Time enough.

Time enough for all that later.

Whew! Let me know how you thought that was. This is my first explicit sex scene in a long while, and I was trying to show that it was a different dynamic that those head-clutching quick fucks in the movie. Plus the only other explicit slash I've ever written was for Harry Potter, VERY different people. I was nervous to write it, so feedback (don't be afraid to suggest improvements! that might get you ANOTHER sex scene!) would be most welcome.

ALSO, PLEASE IN YOUR OWN SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS USE CONDOMS AND LUBE. Jack and Ennis don't because the movie doesn't and I don't even know what they had in that year. So I skipped it. Sue me.

Bingo to Seom for being my 100th reviewer.
