Due to popular demand, and my own dirty imagination, this chapter will contain sexual interaction between Kaidan Alenko and James Vega, described in explicit detail. That's right, folks! M/M male on male action... slash... what ever you crazy kids call it now days. If that's not your cup of tea, you should go to the next chapter and read the censured version.
"Garrus beat you good", James commented after having stocked their little bonfire and fed it some pieces of dry wood they had found within the underground ruin. He had made Kaidan sit down on one of the large slabs of stone that had once been a part of a wall, and was examining the cuts and bruises that marred the Major's face as best he could in the flickering light. The injuries weren't serious but the gash on the forehead was still bleeding. "If it's any consolation, Scars is going to be in an even worse state then you are when Shepard is done with him. She looked ready to kill the both of you. If you ask me, you got away easy. I bet she is going down on him hard as we speak. "
"Thanks for that mental image..." Kaidan muttered.
James realised what his choice of words could imply and had the decadency to look guilty. "Uh... I mean...You know..."
"It's all right", Kaidan said, letting him off the hook. He winced as the young Lieutenant gently probed the wound on his forehead.
"You should use a dose of medi-gel on that."
"No need. It's just a scratch. Head injuries always bleed a lot making them seem more serious then they are", he mumbled absent-mindedly. His thoughts were on Garrus and Shepard. Jealousy battling with heartache. He forced his mind off the subject and continued, "Besides, we don't have that much medi-gel left. We need to save it for the serious injuries."
"Don't be a fool", James scolded him. "You know as well as I do how easily even minor injuries can become infected. With the heat and humidity you're lucky if you don't catch some nasty flesh-eating bug as it is. At least let me clean you up and dress the cuts that's still bleeding."
Kaidan gave the man a sharp glare. "You're not going to back down on this, are you, Vega?"
"No, sir. No I'm not."
Kaidan sighed. "All right then. The first-aid kit is in my pack. Front pocket." He watched numbly as James retrieved the medical supplies. He knew the young marine was right. Every injury, even the smallest ones, needed to be treated. If anyone of them came down with an infection or got some jungle-fever it could be catastrophic. But he just couldn't bring himself to care. His mind kept returning to Garrus and their confrontation. He felt as if there was something he was missing, some vital clue to why the turian had been spoiling for a fight. And Shepard... God only knew what she made of it all.
Kaidan dipped his head, ashamed at how easy Garrus had managed to make him lose his self-control.
Having retrieved the medical supplies, James sat down next to Kaidan and started to line up the things he would need. He picked up a plastic bottle containing a disinfectant. Pouring some on a piece of gauze he started to wipe away the blood that had crusted around a shallow cut on Kaidan's cheek.
The man swore and cursed as the fluid stung and burned.
"Is that any language to use in front of a good Catholic boy?" James grinned as he concentrated on smoothing out the blood from the Major's hair.
"Ow!" Kaidan jerked backwards. "Dammit! Be careful!"
"Hold your breath."
"Why?"
James' only response was to up-end the bottle over Kaidan's head.
"Jesus Christ!" He leapt up from the slab of stone. "You could have warned me!"
"You'd never have sat still for it. Now, get undressed so I can take a look at the scratches on your back." James smiled angelically. "Sir."
"Fine", the man grumbled. The hint of self-pity in his voice made James grin. "I would tell you to be careful but I fear it's a lost cause. You're a horrible nurse, Vega."
"Aww..." He drawled, his grin widening. "You're lack of trust hurts my manly feelings.
Still glaring suspiciously, Kaidan unbuttoned his smock and shrugged out of it, grimacing when his soar muscles protested. The T-shirt followed suit and James was treated to a glimpse of well-developed chest muscles and a six-pack that almost rivalled his own before Kaidan turned his back to him, flopping down onto the stone slab. "You tell me if you use that damn acid on me again-" The sentence ended with another curse as James started cleaning the many scratch-marks that marred the skin.
Somehow the sting of the disinfectant took his mind off the pain of his broken heart. It cleared some of the chaos in his mind and for the first time he could see it all clearly.
From the very beginning Garrus and Shepard had shared a connection. It wasn't just because they both were excellent snipers, although that was no doubt a part of it. But they shared the same streak of ruthlessness combined with compassion that made them both excel as soldiers. Traits that made them walk a tight rope between keeping on the side of the good and becoming the very thing they hunted.
The difference between them was that when Garrus saw the world in black and white, Shepard was all about the nuances in between. When she pushed and twisted the rules as far as they would bend without really breaking them, Garrus simply ignored any rule that got in his way. But at the same time they kept each other in line. Garrus certainty acted as a counterpart to Shepard's eternal questioning of moral and of her own motives.
Together they formed a unit, two creatures sharing a single purpose, and one soul.
Like Garrus himself once jokingly had put it, there could be no Vakarian without Shepard. And vice versa.
James stirred him from his brooding by sitting back, admiring his handy work. "All done."
"Thanks", Kaidan said a little reluctantly. He stretched and rolled his shoulders, wincing again as the movement pulled on the cuts and bruises on his back and made his muscles ache. "Remind me not to go hand to hand with Garrus again. Next time I'll just shoot him. In the knee." But there was no true animosity in his voice. He knew why Garrus had done why he had done. And Kaidan couldn't help but to admired him for it.
James flashed a smile. As he moved around him, picking up the medical supplies Kaidan noticed that he moved with a slight limp. "How's your leg? Is the bite wound still giving you trouble?" he asked, glad to have something other than his broken heart to focus on.
"It's fine", James answered, shrugging. "It's been aching on and off but it's nothing I can't handle. I'm fit for duty, Major. No need to worry about me."
"Right." Kaidan said, giving the younger man a stern look."Take your pants off. And don't bother arguing." He hesitated, making Kaidan raise an eyebrow. "Scared of your own medicine, Lieutenant?"
"No, sir." James stood at something approaching attention, his eyes fixed forward.
"Or is it that you're shy?"Kaidan couldn't help but to smile a little at the notion of a shy soldier. When James didn't reply or move his expression hardened. "I'll make it a direct order if I have to."
James didn't reply, simply stared in front of him.
"Oh, for Christ's sake, Vega!" Kaidan resisted the urge to kick the man. "What's wrong? Just tell me the truth!"
James' approximate attention turned into the real thing. "I don't think it's a good idea for me to get undressed with you, sir."
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Kaidan wasn't sure if he was angry or amused by what he thought the man was implying. "Well? I asked you a question, Lieutenant Vega, and I damn well expect an answer."
James swallowed. "Fact of the matter is, Kaidan... I mean, sir, you're a very good-looking man."
Kaidan blinked and stared at the man. For a long moment, his brain refused to process the information and then he snorted. "Don't worry, James. I won't tell anybody if you make improper advances. Come on, let me take a look at your leg."
James' mouth twisted but he unzipped the camo-pants and pulled them down to his knees. Kaidan pushed the thoughts of Garrus and Shepard to the back of his mind and leaned forward to examine the red, swollen mark on James' thigh. Blood and puss had seeped from it and dried into a nasty crust.
James suppressed a shudder when he felt Kaidan's warm breath tickling the sensitive skin. He was all too aware of the heat spreading through him, of how his body instinctively reacted at being so close to the other man.
Kaidan gently skimmed his fingers over the ugly mark, frowning when he felt how hot the skin was. "It's become infected." He looked up at the younger man. "You should have said something."
James shrugged and swallowed, his throat was suddenly dry. "You've had your hands full with Shepard and... everything."
"James", Kaidan said, interrupting him. "I'm the field-medic. It's my job to treat your injuries no matter what else is going on." He sighed, meeting the marine's gaze. "Is this about you being uncomfortable taking your clothes off in front of me? I have to be honest with you, Vega, I don't get it. I've seen you strut around the shuttle bay wearing just a towel, showing off in front of Cortez, and it's not like you hold anything back flirting with the Commander. So this is obviously not about gender or rank."
"That's different", James mumbled. "Esteban's a friend and well, Shepard is like an older sister. A hot, adopted, older sister. Sexy as hell but you just don't go there."
"And you don't think of me as a friend", Kaidan stated evenly as he started to clean the seeping wound with businesslike strokes.
"Kaidan..." James started. "I..." But the older man made a dismissive gesture, returning his attention to the nasty looking wound.
"It's okay. I understand."
"No you don't." James put a hand on his shoulder, making him look up at him again. He took a deep nervous breath, ignoring the flip flop sensation in his gut "I like you, Kaidan." He spoke in a rush, the words almost hitching in his throat. "I mean, I really like you. As in I want you." He watched as the Major's brown eyes widened in surprise.
"You... want me?"
"This was a bad idea. I'm sorry." James moved to turn away but Kaidan grabbed his wrist forcing him to stay put.
"If you can't cope with this, how come you had no problems cleaning me up?" Kaidan wanted to know as he continued to wipe the grime away from the puckering wound.
James cleared his throat a little. "That's different. Touching is good but being touched is better."
Kaidan could only nod. "I guess you're right." Unconsciously, his touch had gentled and he jumped when James' hand closed over his wrist. He looked up at the younger man's face.
James was studying him seriously, his eyes smouldering. "Please, Kaidan... Don't do it like that." His voice was husky. "It's not like you're making this any easier on me."
It'd be good to be touched, Kaidan thought, meeting the younger man's gaze. To forget the pain, the heartache, if only for a moment. Save for the brief kiss and embrace he had shared with Shepard it had been a long time since he had done some touching, or been touched by hands other than his own. And if it weren't a woman's touches… Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
James' hand was still on his wrist as Kaidan continued wiping at the sting. It was clean by now but he had no particular desire to pull away. He rested his other hand on the young soldier's hip. "You're right, it's good to touch", he mumbled, his left hand stroked further up and delved under the tight T-shirt. James gasped, the muscles twitching under Kaidan's exploring fingers.
James swallowed and his grip on his wrist tightened. "It's against regulations."
"Fuck regulations." Kaidan rose, and pulled the T off the younger man in one smooth movement. He could feel James' heart pounding, the skin becoming damp with sweat under his hands as he let them roam over the muscular chest, and it felt good to have this sort of power over a man.
"Are you sure about this?" James managed a little breathlessly when Kaidan leaned in and started planting a trail of kisses up his neck. "What about Shepard?"
Kaidan pulled back just enough so he could meet James' gaze. "I don't think she's aware of it but she made her choice three years ago. She belongs with Garrus. She's always belonged with him. We just didn't realise it."
"Are you okay with that?" James asked carefully.
The corners of Kaidan's mouth curled upwards in a small, sad smile. "No, not really."
"So what's this?" James gritted his teeth so not to moan when Kaidan resumed to kiss and nip at the sensitive skin just below his ear. "Stress relief? A comfort-fuck?"
"Yes", Kaidan breathed against his throat. "Do you mind?"
James' lips twitched in a grin. "Not at all." He turned them around and pushed Kaidan down onto the slab of rough stone, straddled him and closed his free hand over the other man's left wrist, then moved both hands up his arms, caressing over the defined muscles. His thumbs traced a pattern on the underside of Kaidan's forearms. His breath was coming harsher as James rubbed calloused hands up to his shoulders then down his chest, over his nipples.
Kaidan was trembling against his touch. For all the steely self-control there was a passion in him, a fire that was a wild scorching thing that could burn you to a cinder if you managed to ignite it. Running his hands back up Kaidan's chest, his fingers playing over the collarbone he could feel the man struggling not to moan in protest. James grinned and caressed his way down those strong arms again, capturing Kaidan's right hand in his, bringing it to his lips. He pressed a kiss on the palm.
Surprised by the gentle action, Kaidan looked up, molten eyes gazing into each other for a moment. Then James put all his weight on Kaidan who pressed up against him, his back nearly arching.
It was delicious torture to feel that warm steely body against him, the pressure of it against the length of his desire. James moved his hips ever so slightly, grinding their groins together. The sensation made Kaidan hiss an intake of breath and moan in disappointment when James pulled back a little. But slowly, the young soldier brought his body against Kaidan's, giving him another taste of the feel of him only to pull back again.
"You're a tease", he gritted out, his voice rough.
James answered with a cocky grin that made Kaidan decide that the man needed to be taken down a notch. He grabbed James' wrists and, using a burst of biotic power, rolled them over so that he was now straddling the marine.
"Hey!" James yelped in surprise. "That's cheating!"
It was Kaidan's turn to grin. He focused again and the implant tingled as he sent a small bolt of energy directed at core of the young man's desire, teasing the sensitive nerves.
"Jesus!" James hissed, his eyes widening. "That's really cheating."
Kaidan chuckled and stretched out beside him. The slab was small for the two of them but Kaidan twisted to his side and there was just enough room to lie close together with out falling of the stone. Kaidan was propped up on one elbow and the other hand rested in the small of James' back, the weight of it pressing them closer. Other than that, he made no move.
James looked into his eyes and saw a flicker of sadness in the warm depths. "You wishing I was someone else?" he asked huskily.
Kaidan smiled and the shadows disappeared, leaving only a molten light that made James' pulse race. "Not at all", he said, his voice a velvet rasp in James' ears. "I was just thinking that its been too long since I've been with anyone. Shepard and I spent only a couple of nights together, and after that, well..." His voice trailed off.
"Let's make up for it then", James said softly. He once again raised Kaidan's hand to his mouth, letting one finger slide deep inside and ran lips and tongue wetly along its length. His eyes never left Kaidan's. He savoured the sight of the man's eyelids fluttering shut as swelling desire visibly overcame him. Lips parted, short breaths issued raggedly and a half-articulate protest escaped him when James let the finger slip from his mouth.
Kaidan's head was swimming with desire and he willingly gave himself over to it when the young Latino pressed against him and ground his body against his in earnest. He could feel the bulge of James' manhood where it strained against the army issued boxers and could feel his own hard flesh pulsating. When James moved to kiss him all Kaidan could do was to open his mouth to him.
He was stunned by the kiss, by the urgency of it. No woman had ever kissed him with such enthusiasm, such raw, primal lust. James kissed the way he himself kissed: aggressively with a desperate need for more.
Kaidan threw his arm across James' shoulders, pulling him in closer and James' response was to push their groins together. Kaidan was moaning into James' mouth and, when the younger man broke the kiss and began nipping down his neck, he let out a sigh. James slid his thigh between his legs, a solid mass for him to grind against. Kaidan flung his head back. It connected with the first aid kit and sent it scattering to the ground with a clatter.
James' laughter was slightly choked. "Try not to bring the place down."
"Right...", was all Kaidan managed, then he let out a disappointed groan as James moved away slightly.
James grinned wickedly and brought a hand down between them. He ran his fingers down Kaidan's abdomen, revelling in the hissing intake of breath his touch caused, then there came a moan as he slipped his hand inside Kaidan's pants and wrapped it around his erect manhood.
Kaidan's breath was coming in gasps as James cradled him against his shoulder. He felt the man's fingers digging into his shoulders, holding onto him with such desperation. How long has it been? James couldn't help but to wonder. How long has he denied himself the pleasure of another human's touch? "It's all right", he whispered. "We'll take it slow…" James moved his hand, caressing his fingers up and down the shaft of Kaidan's cock, already slick with wanton juices.
Kaidan felt as if his veins had been injected with liquid heat. The intense pleasure created by James' skilled hand was like electricity spreading through his body. He curled his fingers against the marine's massive neck, buried his face against his throat, his body ruled by a yearning beyond his control.
James held the trembling man steady as he brought him closer and closer to ecstasy with every stroke of his hand, his own body screaming with desire.
"Wait..." Kaidan managed to gasp, struggling to regain at least some resemblance of self-control. "I want to..." He took a deep breath. "I need to touch you... to taste you..." He put a hand on James' shoulder and made him lie flat on his back.
Kaidan pulled back, letting the pleasure subside a little. When James pushed himself up on his elbows he pressed him down. "Stay", Kaidan purred. His mouth descended over James' and he licked lazily along the lips before nipping them. Sliding his mouth over the unshaved chin he began to suck a wet trail down the throat.
"What am I, a friggin dog?" James gasped as teeth closed over his Adam's apple. Rolling his shoulders into the stone he struggled to obey Kaidan's order, to not give into the need to simply pull the man against him and take him hard and rough. He groaned as the mouth continued to trek down across his throat, the feel of teeth joining in was making it that much harder to control himself.
Looking up, Kaidan smiled, before closing his mouth around James' nipple. Swirling his tongue around the little nub, he pulled back and breathed over the damp skin. "Well", he mumbled as he lapped over the hardening flesh. "I could look into getting you a collar and leash."
James' chuckle ended in a gasp as Kaidan bit into his nipple.
Dragging his hands over the material of James' boxers, Kaidan looked up as he felt the young man shift slightly. Smirking, he deliberately closed his fingers over the erect manhood, his mouth curling in amusement at how James bucked into his touch.
James noticed the devilish glint in Kaidan's eyes. "You're going to torment me, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am", Kaidan replied his voice raspy. He lowered his head, tugging the boxers down the strong, lean hips. Licking along the velvet-skinned length he couldn't stop a groan as the taste of James flooded his mouth.
"Kaidan..." James was moaning, shifting restlessly as the man worked his cock with tongue and lips. "Oh God..." Kaidan brought him to the brink of orgasm quickly enough only to slow down and pull away so he could do it again. Dropping his head back against the stone James took a shivering breath as Kaidan moved his mouth off him. Feeling the man's warm palm slide up over his skin, he shuddered. Fingers wrapped around his hips and dug into the flesh. Raising his head again James looked down at Kaidan. Biting down hard into his lip he found himself unable to break the stare.
Kaidan's eyes were heavy-lidded with desire, the small bonfire reflected in the dark depths. Then he moved, sliding up so that he once again was kneeling over James' prone form, claiming his mouth.
James wrapped his arms around the man's shoulders, his fingers combing through the black neatly cut hair. He moaned, tasting himself on Kaidan's tongue as the talented biotic plundered his mouth and left him breathless before he started kissing his way down his body again.
Kaidan teased the sensitive skin of the taut stomach, raking his blunt fingernails over James' ribs, making him jump and gasp. Once again he took James into his mouth, savouring the feeling of him, the taste…
Raising his head Kaidan looked up along James' body. "Tell me you want this. That you want me", he said, his voice raspy.
"You know I do", James managed as his fingers twisted in Kaidan's hair. He clenched his eyes shut, a spike of pleasure flooded through him when Kaidan took him into his mouth again.
Kaidan set up a tortuously slow rhythm that had James all but begging for more.
"Kaidan…" James whispered his fingers tugging at his hair. "Please…" Shifting he chocked out a gasp as the need to be filled continued to build. "Kaidan, please…" He shuddered as that wicked mouth moved away from his aching desire and began to map a wet trail up his stomach.
"What do you want, James?" Kaidan asked, his voice caught between deep with lust and husky with need.
"You", James growled, rolling his head to the side to give Kaidan better access to the column of his throat. He sighed in pleasure as that mouth slid confidently over his. Parting his lips James snaked his tongue into the Alliance Officer's mouth. When Kaidan pulled back James surged up to catch his mouth in another hot kiss. "Take me", he gasped out against Kaidan's lips. "Please I need you to.."
Kaidan sat back onto his knees and looked down at the flushed and sweaty marine. Trailing a hand down over the shuddering body, he re-settled between James' thighs. He moved so that his manhood was pressed against James. "Tell me again what it is you want, James..." Kaidan asked wickedly, rubbing the head of his cock against the tight opening. He flexed his hips, moving forward only to withdraw before he could slide inside.
"Damn you..." James groaned. The teasing touches made him lose any semblance of control. As the man dissolved into pleas, Kaidan took pity on him and slid all the way inside. Leaning down over James, Kaidan curled his fingers into the spiky hair and claimed his parted lips.
The heat, the tightness, the sheer completeness nearly robbed Kaidan of all control. Biting the pliant lips he thrust his tongue in and out mimicking the action his body so wanted him to do. Finally pulling back he looked down at James, taking in his dilated eyes and flushed cheeks. Kaidan shifted his knees until they were pressed flushed against James' thighs. With his elbows placed on either side of James' head he completely controlled the powerful body beneath him.
"Damn it, Kaidan..." James gritted out. Kaidan was buried to the hilt inside of him, filling him completely, and now he had the horrible feeling the Major was going to make him beg in earnest. The pressure and heat coupled with the feeling of Kaidan's fatigues pressing into his sensitised skin added to the torment. "Just move", he growled.
Kaidan smiled. He dipped his head and started suckling at that sensitive spot just below his ear. James gave a muffled yelp when Kaidan bit down none too gently. "Hey!" he protested. "That's going to show!"
"I know", Kaidan purred, running his tongue soothingly over the bruise that was beginning to form under the smooth skin.
James looked up and into eyes the colour of dark amber. "You marked me..." His voice was raspy with need but still soft and there was a question in his eyes.
"James..." Kaidan's voice was husky. "I..."
James smiled a little. "It doesn't matter, Kaidan. It doesn't have to mean anything. Unless you want it to..."
"James", Kaidan repeated softly, putting a hand against the younger man's handsome face. But the Latino captured his mouth, cutting him off.
"Don't say anything", he mumbled against Kaidan's lips. "Please..." His plead drowned in a moan as Kaidan started to move in and out of him.
Kaidan lost himself in the sensation, he pressed his hands against the stone slab on either side of James' head so that he could gaze into his churning eyes.
Digging his shoulder into the rough surface, the only thing keeping him in place was the weight of Kaidan's body, James threw his head back and just went with the pleasure that welled over him. The rough slip slide of Kaidan's cock, the brush of the scratchy fabric of his pants, the slick smoothness of his chest rubbing against James'. All was making it impossible for him to regain control over his trembling body.
Thrusting harder, Kaidan dug his fingers into James' shoulder, his back arching. He cursed at the sudden rippling of James' inner muscles. Looking down he stopped mid thrust at the sight of the young man beneath him.
Arms stretched above him, head thrown back, neck on complete display, he looked like some fallen angel. His body bathed in sweat, delicate shudders racked through his tanned skin making him appear more ethereal than should be possible. Staring down at the muscular, powerful body he became aware of James' desperate moans for him to move, move now, oh please...
Kaidan complied. He slid all the way inside before slowly moving back again. He set a slow, tortuous rhythm, loving the choked out gasps that James couldn't hold back. He rolled his hips lazily as he nuzzled against the sweaty throat. He nipped gently at the sensitive skin and rolled his hips again.
"Please", James mumbled, shuddering. "Please stop the teasing. Please, just... Just..."
Kaidan licked a wet trail up to James' ear and all but purred: "Are you begging me to fuck you?"
"Yes", James gasped. "God, yes. You bastard."
Kaidan gave a throaty laugh. He picked up the pace, rolling his hips until he hit that sensitive spot that made James arch his back.
A rough cry escaped James as wave after wave of pleasure rocked his body and the feeling of him pulsating around him was Kaidan's undoing. He followed the marine over the edge as his orgasm exploded in his loins and spread through his body. The intensity of it made him fall forward only to be caught by James' strong arms.
Trembling Kaidan buried his head against the crook of James' neck. For a moment he could only lay there, in James' arms, his breath coming short and hard, his heart racing. "Damn..." He finally managed to say. "I had forgotten it could be like this..."
James smiled, kissing him lightly on the mouth, a simple, almost chaste touch of lips. "Yeah", he breathed. "This was..." he was searching for a word to encompass the experience. "... nice", he finally said lamely.
Kaidan opened an eye, brow arching. "Just nice? I must be more out of practise than I thought."
James smile turned into a cheeky grin. "How about amazing then?" He wrapped his arms around Kaidan, once again pressing their bodies together, abdomens and thighs sticky with semen. He pulled away just enough to speak. "I could be talked into doing this again."
"Mmm..." Kaidan purred teasingly. "Maybe if you beg me."
"You're a tyrant", James chuckled, nuzzling close, enjoying the sweet drowsiness that made his limbs heavy, the touch and warmth of Kaidan's body pressed against him. "Next time you'll be doing the begging, Major. And that's a promise."
The dying flames of the bonfire flickered over them, bathing their bodies in a golden hue. And for that moment at least, they were both at peace.
So there we have it, people, a naughty chapter full of hot steamy Kaidan/James action. I really did my best with it. It'sbeen quite some time since I wrote slash. I had fun writing it at least :)
I'll try and get the censured version up tonight as well.
