Horatio got up from the sofa when he heard knocking at the door. He opened it and was greeted by the young woman he'd gotten a glimpse of at Tim's lab the week before.
"Jess?" he asked.
She smiled at him. "Yes, Lieutenant Caine."
Horatio stepped aside as he said, "Horatio, please."
She stepped inside and saw Tim just as he was standing up. She practically flung herself into his arms, causing him to take a step back so he wouldn't fall over. He wrapped his arms around her.
"God, Tim. I was so scared, when you didn't show up for work today and I got to your apartment and all the cops, you didn't answer your cell all afternoon," spilled out of Jess' mouth in one breath. "No one would tell me anything. I thought something horrible had happened," she added.
Tim held her a little tighter. "I'm sorry I didn't call you this morning. Everything happened so fast and it's been…" he sighed.
He was hoping not to have to involve her in all of this but, as usual, his forgetfulness had sort of forced the issue. He didn't have to give her all of the details but he would have to tell her something. He lead her over to the sofa and they sat down.
Horatio decided to give them some privacy so he went into the kitchen to help Alexx clean up from dinner. She had already made a start on the dishes so Horatio picked up a towel and started drying. He glanced back into the living room where Tim and Jess were deep in conversation. Alexx caught his attention and he turned back.
"So, how are you really doing, Horatio? And don't lie to me this time."
Horatio sighed. He knew he couldn't ever lie to Alexx and get away with it for long. "I'm worried, Alexx. Simon is still out there and he wants Tim back."
"And how about Tim?" she asked.
Horatio took a breath. "Hurt, scared," he said. He glanced back to the living room momentarily. "He tries to hide it but cries a lot. He's not used to having someone be gentle with him. I think… I think somewhere in the back of his mind, he's expecting me to hurt him."
She could tell by the look in his eyes that it pained him greatly to have to admit that. She quickly dried her hands and turned to face him. "Horatio, you know and I know, you would never do anything to hurt anyone." She laid a comforting hand on his arm. "And Tim will come to realize that too. Just give him some time."
Out in the living room, Jess listened to what Tim had to say. He only told her what was absolutely necessary, that he had an abusive ex-boyfriend who was currently stalking him. He'd broken into his apartment Sunday morning and assaulted him then ran off when Horatio came in.
"Are you okay?" she asked full of concern.
Tim shrugged. "Bruised but otherwise all right."
"Did you get yourself checked out because I know you and…"
"Yes," he cut her of, rolling his eyes. "Horatio's friend in there," he gestured toward the kitchen, "is a doctor. She checked me out herself. I'm fine." She didn't look completely convinced. He took her hand. "Look, Jess, I need you to do me a favor. I need you to hold down the fort for a few more days. I emailed the Dean and told him I had a family emergency to deal with and I would be out of town for a while."
"Yeah, I can do that. Besides, I think your students have gotten used to me at this point. Are you sure you're going to be okay?" she asked as Horatio walked back into the room.
He stood behind Tim and place his hands on his shoulders. Tim looked up at him. "Yeah, I'm sure," he said.
Jess looked up at Horatio and smiled. "Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into? Because he should really come with a warning label, not to mention care and feeding instructions," she said with just a hint of sarcasm.
Horatio chuckled. "I'm a 'learn as you go' sorta guy," he answered. "I never read the directions."
Jess giggled, deciding that she liked Horatio. Tim glanced between them. "Are you two finished?" he asked.
Horatio looked at Jess who shrugged. "I suppose," he said. Tim shook his head.
Jess looked at her watch. "I should get going," she said. "Charlie doesn't like it when I get home too late."
"Boyfriend?" Horatio asked.
"Cat," she responded and he chuckled.
"I should be getting home to my kids, too," Alexx said.
They said their good-byes with a promise to keep in phone contact until the whole situation was resolved. Horatio closed the door behind them then walked over to Tim and draped his arms around his neck. "Now where were we before we were interrupted," he said as he leaned in close.
Tim added, "And fed," as he moved in closer.
"And mothered," Horatio contributed as he closed the remaining distance and captured Tim's lips for a slow kiss.
He knew they should be talking, that they needed to talk, but after everything that they'd been through today, he felt less like talking and more like doing something else. He opened his mouth, encouraging Tim to take the lead. Tim swept his tongue over Horatio's lips before plunging in. Somehow they ended up in the bedroom though neither man recalled climbing the stairs.
Horatio slowly unbuttoned Tim's shirt and pushed it off his shoulders. He gently ran his hands down Tim's neck, over his shoulders, and down his arms. He felt Tim shiver as he took his hands and placed them at the top button of his own shirt, urging him to do the same. Once Horatio's shirt was shed he pulled Tim close, pressing their bodies together and burying his face in his neck. Tim's skin felt warm and flushed as he pressed himself closer. He began to lay feather light kisses along Tim's neck and down his shoulder as his hands brushed lightly over his back. Horatio moved back just slightly and took Tim's face in his hands. He kissed his forehead, then his eyes, his nose, then finally took his mouth, slowly exploring. His goal was nothing less than the complete worship of Tim Speedle's body.
While he had Tim distracted he managed to unfasten his pants and push them down so that they pooled at his feet. Then he relieved himself of his own remaining clothing before maneuvering Tim back toward the bed. He gently urged him to lay down in the center. Tim's breathing was already a bit raged and his body tingled everywhere Horatio touched him. His emotional control was slipping again but this time he didn't care as much. Horatio knew almost everything, at least enough to understand.
He began laying soft kisses across Tim's chest, moving from side to side, eliciting small gasps as he went. He worked his way down to Tim's hard, leaking cock. Horatio smirked as his tongue darted out and ran up the shaft and around the head.
Tim's breath caught and he sobbed out, "Oh God!"
Horatio paused, momentarily concerned. He glanced up and noticed the tears running down Tim's face. "Is this okay?" he asked.
Tim nodded. "Please," he croaked out.
He took hold of the sheets beneath him in a death grip and tried to control himself as he felt Horatio's mouth close around him. Horatio took a moment to run his tongue over and around the head before slowly drawing him in. Tim tried his best to remain still as Horatio's tongue massaged him and his teeth lightly scraped his shaft. His eyes fluttered shut. His mind began to drift. For a moment he forgot where he was and who he was with. He could feel the pressure building and knew he was close, closer than he realized. Horatio also became aware of how close he was and took him all of the way down his throat, swallowing around him. Before he could stop himself, Tim came hard down Horatio's throat with a sob. Horatio swallowed until his was spent then let him slip from his mouth. Tim lay limp beneath him with tears streaming down his face as Horatio kissed his way back up his body.
He hovered over Tim for a moment before asking, "You okay?"
Tim trembled slightly and nodded as he tried to get his breathing back under control. Horatio reached a hand out and wiped the tears from his face then leaned down and took his mouth in a slow kiss that was full of the promise of more. When he pulled back he looked into Tim's eyes seeing something he didn't quite understand.
"Are you sure nothing's wrong?" he asked again.
Tim nodded. "He used to," Tim started to say then looked away. "He used to punish me when I'd…"
Horatio tilted his head. "He used to punish you when he went down on you like that and you came?" Tim gave him a quick nod still not looking him in the eye. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I wouldn't have…"
"No. You're not him. I know that," he said quickly turning his head back and looking into Horatio's eyes. "It's gonna take me some time, that's all." He took Horatio's face in his hands and pulled him in for another kiss. When he pulled back he whispered, "I want you."
Horatio leaned over and grabbed the lube and a condom from the nightstand. But when Tim tried to roll over he stopped him. "Don't," he said. "Let me watch you. I promise I won't hurt you."
Tim lay back and pulled his legs up. Horatio took a moment to prepare him before rolling the condom on and slowly burying himself balls deep. He stilled as his eyes drifted shut and worked to maintain his composure for as long as possible. He didn't want to lose control and risk hurting Tim. After a moment he opened his eyes and looked down at the face of his lover. His head was back. His mouth was slightly open and his eyes were dark with passion. He leaned forward and claimed his lips as he slowly began to move, slowly out, then slowly back in, setting his sensual rhythm.
With each thrust, as their tongues dueled, Horatio's speed increased. Tim began arching his hips up, urging the redhead to move faster, harder. He moaned into the kiss each time Horatio's cock would brush his prostate. Horatio was beginning to feel light headed and he broke the kiss, resting his head on Tim's shoulder as he continued to pound into his body. Unable to hold out any longer he took Tim's cock in his hand and with a few well timed strokes both men came, calling each other's names.
Horatio collapsed forward onto Tim's chest breathing heavily. He honestly hadn't come that hard in a long time and it took him longer than usual to bring himself back. His mind still clouded, he felt himself being rolled over and the condom being removed. After a few moments he pulled Tim into his arms and twined their legs together. He kissed him softly and pulled the blankets up over them. As he drifted off to sleep, Horatio was struck by the thought that the more time he spent with Tim, the more he knew he never wanted him to leave. That was something else that they would need to talk about, in the morning.
