Enjoy! As I promised, Murdock will be picking out the bar for this evening. Sort of…

Sorry for the delay. Life is time consuming *sighs*

Chapter 3

Weeks later the Team found themselves travelling south, much to Murdock's delight, the warmer the climate the happier the pilot from the southern regions became. He always preferred the heat over the cold.

While traveling to the coast line they accidently bumped into two sisters, running a beach hotel together, who were being blackmailed. Of course they had to help the damsels in distress out so another day, another successful mission. The four members of the A-Team had once again out smarted the evil ones. And that all before 2 o'clock.

And now here they were, stranded, on a sunny day with nothing to do.

"Can we stay bossman? Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplea se?" The boisterous pilot was jumping up and down with excitement. He loved the beach, he loved swimming and he loved inflatable airbeds which he already spotted in a store right across the street.

Hannibal looked around him. There were many beautiful women here prancing around in skimpy bikini's, a cocktail bar nearby and a store with beach supplies to keep Murdock occupied.

Nope, that didn't sound like a bad idea at all.

"I think we could use a day off, besides you were brilliant today Murdock, you really did take revenge on them for killing Thermy the lobster."

Murdock squealed with happiness and immediately ran over to the store to buy all the inflatable things they had.

B.A. had to disagree though "Hannibal! I'm not staying here, it's far too hot! And I have to listen to that fool talking about his dead lobster that has been killed, but was already dead in the first place! I say, we keep moving." He was scowling, as always, and was about to stomp off when he felt a ball rolling over his foot. Looking up to knock the fool out he came eye to eye with a beautiful black girl with curves in all the right places.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you now." She said and winked at him, running off to play volleyball with the rest of her girlfriends.

The big guy changed his mind "On the other hand, I like mojito's. We're staying!" he said walking after her.

Face grinned "Good idea boss, gives me some time to work on my tan." He was rummaging through his pockets, ahaa-ing when he found his tanning goggles. He rubbed his hands together in excitement "Oh yeah, beautiful girls, cocktails, hamburgers, sunlight ooh this day just couldn't be any more perfect!"

Hannibal smiled. It was good seeing his boys happy and having fun for a change. Turning around, he saw Murdock running towards them with his arms full of stuff, while yelling "Colonel, colonel!"

The captain was in hyperactive mode today.

"Look! Look!" he was trying to find something between all his inflatable things and beach towels "I got Bosco these swimming trunks with monkeys on them because he loves coconut tapenade so much and monkeys love coconuts too! And these things here-"

The pilot was talking nonstop and Hannibal smiled, "Face," he said to his conman in between the rambling of the captain "I think Murdock is a little overexcited about being here."

Face raised an eyebrow "Gee you think?" he deadpanned.

Hannibal was smirking at him, Face decided he didn't trust that look one bit "Yeah, and that is why you are going to keep an eye on him today." The colonel ordered and patted him on the shoulder while he started walking away. Now where did that tall blond woman go he just saw walking around.

"What?! Wait Hannibal that's not fair!" the conman protested but it was already too late.

He sighed, Murdock was still talking nonstop about flying coconuts and monkeys, "Come on crazy let's go swimming." He muttered and he didn't have to say that twice because the pilot was already sprinting towards the sand and water, Face strolling behind him.

An hour later Face was relaxing in his beach lounge chair, a beautiful young lady kept bringing him free drinks from the bar she was working at, and Murdock was probably still in the water somewhere. He didn't know, he was working on more important things than that, like tanning.

Wanting to take a sip of his drink, the conman sat up straight and removed his goggles, replacing them with his sunglasses. Lazily he put the straw in his mouth and glanced around, observing the scenery.

Hehehe ooh yeah he could get used to this.

Pretty girls…

More pretty girls…

Pretty girls playing volleyball…

Pretty girls being massaged by Murdock…

Pretty girls swim-

HOLD IT!

His eyes returned to the Murdock massaging girls scene.

Maybe his eyes were deceiving him, but there were two very beautiful women talking and laughing with the pilot, while he was rubbing suntan lotion on one of them.

When the hell did this happen? He thought about the situation. He didn't expect Murdock to be chatting to girls instead of trying to surf on his inflatable crocodile. But there he was.

Face decided to go over there, I mean he couldn't let one girl be the lonely one now could he? A mischievous grin appeared on his face.

"What do you prefer J?" Alice asked him as he removed his hands from her back "Oh and thanks for putting some sun cream on me!"

Murdock shrugged "You're welcome, and I don't really care. I like them both ways!" he grinned and the girls laughed.

The other girl, Gwen crinkled her nose "Well I do like it when a man is clean shaven. I don't like the feeling of being sandpapered when I kiss a guy."

Murdock grinned happily. Alice and Gwen really were two nice and very funny girls. When he was about to climb out of the water with his inflatable crocodile he saw a really, really good looking guy walking into the water. Not being able to stop himself he turned around to look at the eye candy when he passed by him and Alice and Gwen caught him in the act.

"He's hot isn't he?" one of them teased as the other giggled. Murdock turned around startled and embarrassed to find himself caught by two beautiful girls.

The pilot gulped "I-ehm yeah, ah." He hugged the crocodile closer to his chest.

Before he knew it they found him adorable and cute and dragged him over to their beach towels to talk with them.

And it turned out, he liked talking to them about guys. He had never, ever talked about men before, this was all new for him and he liked it! He could finally say what he liked about a guy without being judged.

Gwen looked at her phone "Alice we got to go, I just got a message from Ben that he's waiting for us on the boat."

She pouted "Aw, but we're having so much fun with J here." Sighing she stood up and started gathering her stuff, Murdock stood up too and grabbed his crocodile, ready to go back into the water.

"J, thanks for everything! It was really fun hanging out with you!" Alice said and gave him a hug, Gwen followed after her. Murdock smiled "Thanks I had fun too."

They started to walk off just when Face was about to join the three. Murdock waved them goodbye as Gwen turned around one more time and shouted "You know where to find us tonight!" Murdock nodded and turned to see Face walking towards him. The conman rand a hand through his hair and had a smug look on his face. His skin was golden and glistered in the sunlight, emphasizing his muscled torso and six pack. Murdock gulped and quickly thought about other things than the conman before things got out of hand down below.

Face grinned and put an arm around the shorter male "I say we go to that place tonight, good work crazy." Murdock slightly shivered at the touch but tried to act normal as his naked upper body was now pressed against the muscled torso of the Lieutenant, the unexpected skin on skin contact startled him slightly.
"Ehm yeah, we could…" he said hesitantly. Face was clearly missing out some very important information, the bar Gwen and Alice would be at is not some place he would ever set foot in. The girls had a lot of gay friends and were planning on drinking a few drinks with them in a gay bar. They invited Murdock along because they knew he was not a straight man.
"…but-"

"No buts H.M, we're going buddy!"

Murdock wanted to explain but was currently in shock as Face lifted him up over his shoulder and ran into the ocean with him, laughing all the way through, splashing them both underwater. Reaching for the surface Murdock inhaled deeply as air hit his skin again. He completely forgets to breath whenever Face is touching him like that.

Laughing out loud Face flipped his wet hair over with his hand "Try to top that water assault buddy!" he said and took a cocky stance, taunting him and ready for some more dunking Murdock into the water action.

The Captain showed a toothy grin and swiftly attacked the larger male standing halfway in the ocean, tackling him into the water. You don't have to tell Murdock something like that twice.

After their relaxing day, well kind of if you take out the water battle which Murdock won, they got free hotels rooms from the sisters they helped out, two bedroom apartments with separate beds. They even had a free dinner at the restaurant downstairs.

A few hours later, all dressed up and ready to go, Face barged into the room were Hannibal and B.A. were staying "Alright grumpy and grandpa let's go to the beach bar!"

The Colonel raised his eyebrows, these nickname's were getting out of control…

"Whatever fool! Hannibal and I are going something called Eddie's, you go wherever you want to go!" Bosco said as he put on his gold chains.

Face folded his arms in front of his chest "Oooh you old sly dogs you, you picked up some gahls!" he pronounced proudly and exited "I am impressed!"

Smith shook his head "Son, just because I don't pick up every woman with a great pair of legs, doesn't mean I don't know how to do it," he walked over to the door "I just only settle for the girl with the perfect pair of legs and nothing less." And with a smirk he walked through the door.

Pursing his lips, Face watched his retrieving form "Touché Hannibal, touché." He mumbled to himself, smiling, and pushed his hands into his pockets. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning B.A." who responded with a growl.

Templeton turned around and as he walked away he said "One tip Bosco, try not to be grumpy for more than five minutes around the girl."

He quickly jumped around the corner when he said that and was glad he did when he heard the hotel phone crash against the doorpost. "Don't throw phone's at her either!" he sang through the corridor of the hotel, sprinting to his room with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Facey, are you sure you don't want to go to that place were Bosco and Boss were going." Murdock was trying to convince the Lieutenant without telling him about the gay bar thing. They didn't teach you in the army how to tell your good friend, who is not gay, that you were invited to a gay bar.

They were walking towards the crowded beach bars near the hotels, loud music was coming from every angle and people were dancing and drinking almost everywhere. Inside in the bars and outside on the beach.

"Nope, can't do that buddy, you promised those girls and you never break a promise to a lady, except when you have a good reason like, when you meet another girl with a better ass than hers."

They reached the bar "Besides we're already here!" Face said happily and dragged Murdock inside, who was kind of flabbergasted that the conman didn't notice the multi-colored flags outside.
Face strolled inside quickly spotting the two ladies who Murdock was talking to earlier, he saw them waving at the pilot and smiling brightly.

Oh yeah, Face thought to himself, this was going to be easy.

Murdock face palmed, this was going to be very awkward. He already spotted a lot of guys dancing quite… extraordinary for guys to dance together to subscribe it lightly. But he guessed Templeton hadn't spotted anything out of the ordinary yet because his eyes were locked on those two girls only.

Sitting next to the blond girl Face introduced himself, "Hi beautiful ladies my name is Peck, a friend of James here." The Lieutenant said as Murdock sat next to Alice in the booth, who greeted him with a hug and Gwen blew him a kiss.

"Hi Mr. Peck I'm Alice," "And I'm Gwen." They said to the conman and Face thought his smirk would stay on for the rest of the night.

Mr. Peck. Oh yeah. He liked that. He liked that a lot…

The two girls smiled at each other "Gay man are always such gentleman, I love hanging out with guys like you!" Alice said and sucked on her straw of her cocktail. "Would you two like a cocktail as well? They're delicious you should try them!"

Face started laughing out loud "Ladies, James here is my good friend but I'm not gay."

Gwen looked at him with a proud face "Really! Wow that's wonderful! You're such a good friend for going with him to a gay bar! That is so sweet!" she beamed finding it adorable.

Mr. Peck's face fell "Wait, what? Gay what?" he asked dumbfounded.

Murdock was laughing on the inside, he was wrong trying to stop him from coming here. The look on the conman's face was priceless. This was too funny to be an uncomfortable situation.

The Lieutenants head shot up and he quickly scanned the entire bar. Suddenly he noticed that the men were clad in tight clothing, a bit too tight for a straight guy, girls kissing each other, guys kissing each other. Oh yeah, defiantly a gay bar.

"Holy shit I'm in a, in a,"

"Gay bar?" Murdock finished for him grinning from ear to ear while the girls just looked at each other with humor.

The three of them laughed out loud while Face was still getting accustomed to the fact that he was in a gay bar. "So you're not gay Mr. Peck?" Gwen asked him in a coy voice as realization slowly crept upon the conman. "Ah, no."

"Well I think you're the only one here, with the exception of us.." Alice said smiling sweetly at him.

Suddenly Templeton Peck was back on earth and his smirk returned. This could work out in his advantage, he was the only straight guy here, and gay bars are perfect for single, straight girls who just want to dance and have fun.

He should've come to gay bars years ago!

Murdock recognized the lewd smirk on the Lieutenant and he rolled his eyes. The pilot knew exactly what that meant, knowing him long enough, he decided to get some drinks before he had to witness his seduction 101 program.

Face smiled sweetly at the two girls "I didn't even notice I was totally absorbed by you two beautiful woman," he tried weaseling himself out "James didn't even tell me, but yeah I don't mind gay guys, ha I mean, my best friend is one!" he explained and the girls giggled.

Oh yeah, nice safe Faceman. He thought to himself. Do the awkward thing, girls like awkward, makes them feel special.

Returning with two beers, Murdock immediately took a big gulp and sighed afterwards. The two girls were totally absorbed in the conman's story, as he had expected, and now he was by himself once again.

Half an hour later, and three beers later, Mr. Peck, was still talking to Gwen and Alice who were sitting at each side of the conman, completely in love with his smooth talks.
Bored as hell Murdock wished he brought his inflatable crocodile with him, he could do some late night swimming or something. But his wish was quickly discarded when that guy came over to them.

He was tall, with sun kissed skin, dark blond curls on his head, big biceps, a million dollar smile, beautiful blue eyes and no it was not Templeton Peck he was talking about. Clad in a simple baggy white T-shirt and some jeans he looked perfect.

"Hi Gwen, Alice glad you could come!" He smiled at the ladies who blew him a kiss as a greeting, his blue eyes turned to Murdock "You must be James! Gwen and Al were talking nonstop about how cute you are on the boat." He extended out his hand which Murdock took shyly and he felt the heat rushing to his cheeks when the good looking guy finished his sentence "and they were right too." He said in a low flirty voice "I'm Ben."

Murdock could only nod as his body wasn't responding any longer. He tried to collect himself together.

Oh lord. Those same sky blue eyes. Don't get lost in them, don't get lost in them!

"Hi Ben, I'm Peck!" The conman interrupted, pronouncing his name with a hint of venom. He didn't like this guy already, and he didn't like being ignored.

The tall man turned around and greeted the conman happily "Hello Peck. Enjoying yourself with the two beautiful ladies here I see." They shook hands and Face made sure to make it a nice and firm handshake "friend or boyfriend of James?"

Face was startled by that just a bit, again that same feeling returned when Murdock met that douche bag in that other bar. He almost, almost wanted to say 'Yes he is my boyfriend!' so this guy could not get his hands on his pilot. Jealousy was what Hannibal had called it, but he was pretty sure that it was just over protectiveness he was feeling.

"No, just a friend, a straight friend." Murdock answered for him.

I could only wish… He added to himself.

Ben smiled at the pilot in a way that said, I'm glad he is. A smile that made Murdock kind of tingly inside, or it might have been all the alcohol he drank in such a short time because he was bored.

"Would you like to check out the beach at night with me? It's really beautiful!" Ben proposed to Murdock exited.

The chopper pilot grabbed his beer "Sure! Let's go!" he was feeling tipsy and decided to go with the flow. Raising up from the booth Ben took the lead as Murdock followed him close behind to go outside before the conman could stop the two.

"Wait! Mur- I mean James!" He tried to say but it was already too late they had disappeared into the crowd and the loud noise. Damnit!

He was stuck between these two girls so he couldn't move without pushing them over.

"Is everything ok Mr. Peck?" Gwen asked worried.

"Yeah, yeah, I-uh, yeah." He gave both girls a fake smile which they bought, and the girls started talking again but it didn't register in his brain anymore like before.

What is wrong with you Templeton!

He couldn't believe the rage that was building inside him, thinking that Murdock was all alone with that Ben guy now. What was wrong with him? Why was he bothered so much with his best friend running off with that guy. He was a straight man, he was sure of it. He loved women!

He drank his sugary mixed alcoholic drink with one big gulp, he had to know what was going on outside. He wouldn't let that guy touch his pilot, not again, he had to stop it.

"Ladies excuse me for a moment," he apologized and crawled out of the booth as Alice stood up to give him some space.

The Lieutenant was determined to find H.M. Murdock and bring him home, untouched and un-vandalized by that oaf!

With quick paces Face was standing outside on the beach and immediately found Murdock. But not in a situation he expected…

The chopper pilot was standing alone at the bar, a sad expression on his face, while Ben was standing a few feet away from him, with his back to Murdock, talking to some overly feminine guy with glasses, clearly flirting with him while he left the pilot all by himself.

Face felt his shoulders slump in disbelief. How could that guy be interested in the moron with glasses, and not in Murdock?

I mean look at him.

Those stubborn brown locks of his, always sexily tossed. Those big green puppy eyes, which could make Face taste any weird thing that Murdock had created in the kitchen. Those cute noises he could make. His perfect white teeth, his small but athletic frame, his cute round butt-

Wait! Where did that came from!

Swallowing hard, Face's eyes darted back and forth between Murdock and a girl standing close by him. Did he, did he just thought that Murdock had a cute butt?! Did he just find himself attracted to a guy's ass?!

It must have been the absentminded influences of this gay bar and the weird mixed drinks they were serving here.

Rubbing his forehead while closing his eyes the conman had probably been in the sun too long, opening his eyes he now saw Murdock almost tearing up when he watched Ben kiss that feminine thing instead of him.

Face was glad that it wasn't Murdock he was kissing, but he also felt sad for him. Even though the conman could be a heartbreaker himself, he did know what rejection felt like, and it's a bitch.

He felt a hand caress his arm "Hey gorgeous are you new here in town?" Face turned to his left and came eye to eye with a shorter blond man, who winked at him, dressed in just one tight fitting yellow speedo swimshorts. He shivered. "Yes but I'm taken! Sorry!"

And with that he quickly walked over to Murdock, time to get out of here fast. Though it did stroke his ego a little bit…

Templeton Peck! Irresistible to both men and women.

Shaking it off he saw Murdock's face lit up when he spotted the conman walking towards him.
"Facey!" the pilot smiled, Ben forgotten instantly. Glad that the conman had come for his rescue. Face smiled a warm smile back at him, glad to see his crazy friend happy with his presence "Are you ready to get out of here?" he asked and Murdock nodded happily.

Though Ben wasn't done with the little bouncy pilot just yet and grabbed him by the biceps before he and Face could escape.

"Ho, were are you going James? Don't you want to join us on the boat later on? I promise you, that you'll enjoy the ride…" Ben tried to coax Murdock into joining them.

Face was getting real sick of this guy, first he left the pilot on his own, and now he wants him to join him on his boat for a good fuck? No way, no way in hell. He protectively pulled Murdock towards his chest, freeing him from the clutches of Ben, and possessively put his arm around the pilot's shoulders.

Murdock was surprised, but didn't protest as he felt himself pulled into the arms of the conman, he enjoyed it too much to ask questions about it.

"No he doesn't and no he wouldn't." The conman retorted, he was a few seconds away from punching this guy.

Ben raised his eyebrow "You can't speak for him, you're not his boyfriend." The tall blond crossed his arms in front of his chest "you're not even into men, so you have no right of speech."

Murdock rolled his eyes and was ready to leave this douche bag so he could get back to the hotel and get all this sand out of his clothing. Trying to turn around, he found out he couldn't because Templeton was still rooted on his spot, not ready to leave like this.

Raising his head and looking down upon the blond guy Face was determined to show this Ben guy, who Murdock belonged to. Grinning he possessively pulled Murdock closer against him.

"Well I lied. I am gay and he is my boyfriend, and tonight he's coming home, with me." He vowed, giving Ben the most smug look he could.

Frozen on his spot, Murdock's eyes went wide. Did he just hear Templeton Peck say that he was his boyfriend?

Ben huffed "If that's true, prove it to me, if it's not, he's coming with me!" he dared the conman.

Not thinking twice about it, Face was not letting this guy win this battle "With pleasure," he answered and before Murdock could even protest Face grabbed him and pressed his lips against the pilot's, kissing him hard and possessively as he wrapped his arms around his shoulder blades and his lower back.

Mine.

Murdock's eyes went wide and he wasn't able to respond at all, but when he felt Face gently lick his teeth for deeper entrance he closed his eyes and let the conman take control while he put his arms around the Lieutenants neck. He couldn't believe what was happening, this was a dream come true, it was Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving in one day!

Enjoying this much, much more than he expected Face deepened the kiss, silently asking for access to the mouth of the pilot by caressing his teeth with his talented tongue. It was weird kissing a guy, it was weird kissing Murdock of all people but damn. The crazy pilot was the best kisser he ever had, and he had a lot of comparison material. Also he tasted great, it was different than all the girls, it was fresher, minty, more manly but not in a bad way.

Liking the way Murdock felt in his arms, his hand on the Captain's lower back caressed downward, until he reached his butt and squeezed it hard as he felt and heard Murdock moan into his mouth.

Oh fuck!

He was right, the Captain really did have a nice ass and God those cute noises he could make! It was just too much for the conman. He felt himself getting exited with Murdock in his arms and that was something his brain couldn't process yet.
He was straight.

Stopping abruptly much too Murdock's dismay, Face broke the kiss and immediately turned his attention to Ben. Who was looking at them intensively and was surprised that they did actually kiss. Regaining himself Ben knew when he was defeated "Ok, you proved your point, have fun tonight you two." And with that the tall blond surfer walked away.

As the blond man disappeared from their site, Face felt his weird feelings (jealousy), slowly disappearing. Glad that he showed the douche who's boss, the conman put his arm around the lower back of the pilot.

"Our little secret buddy, let's go back to the hotel and get some sleep."

And with that he started walking back to the hotel, with Murdock in his arms, who wasn't able to speak yet.

He had trouble walking because the captain's legs felt like jelly. He still couldn't believe what had just happened.

He, H.M. Captain "Howling Mad" Murdock had been kissed by Lieutenant Templeton Peck, "Faceman".

Thanks for reading I appreciate it! Please let me know what you think.
