He'd need to proceed with caution so as not to tilt the delicate balance of their anfractuous relationship, for Julian Bashir was in a state he'd never seen him in before: confused, yet obviously interested. Smiling, Garak mused that his friendship with the young man was the glass bullet of his life: fragile, yet strangely wounding at times. He wanted the man so very badly, had done so for a long time, yet all he'd gotten had been, as the humans called it, a broken heart. Maybe now it was time for it to mend? He watched Bashir swallow compulsively. "Can I get you something to drink, perhaps?" he asked, more to fill the quiet than as a courtesy. "No, thank you," Bashir said and there was an odd look to his eyes as he watched him. "I'm sorry I interrupted your evening with Serka." "As said, nothing to be sorry about. It was merely the completion of the Parting for us, Julian," Garak said, tasting the name and finding it far sweeter than the sweetest of Bajoran spring wines. "Nothing quite as imprudent as your imagination came up with, I'm sure," he added, enjoying the faint flush that rose to Bashir's cheeks at his tease. "Let me guess. The yellow powder he threw at you?" Garak nodded, impressed at his friend's acuity in piecing the events together. "*Sher'ahm*, the necessary symbol of dissolution," he explained, knowing he was not giving the ritual the justice he deserved, but that was because he suspected Bashir hadn't come over to discuss Cardassian marriage politics. "He's no longer my *ha'kem*," he added as a point of clarification. "And Thuli?" His lip curling in disgust and consternation, Garak hissed. "An unexpected complication. However, Delemek's life is now his own and so he can toss it away for a Sixth if he wants to." He paused, regarding Bashir. "But you didn't come here for a civics lesson." "No, I didn't. I came to tell you that your advice to rely on research was a good one." There was a note of trepidation and underlying tension in Bashir's voice and as Garak watched, unmoving and intrigued, the doctor stepped closer until they were barely a hand's width apart. The pupils of Bashir's eyes were so dilated that his eyes appeared black, and while it could've been because of the low lighting, Garak dared to hope for another reason as he looked closer. There was barely controlled desire in the gleam of the dark eyes, along with curiosity, need, and perhaps even love. "And...?" he prompted, the tension between them making his skin tingle in anticipation. "And now I have a theory I wish to test." Bashir's gaze dropped lower, touching on his lips and then continuing down to his chest where his robe exposed a sliver of his sternum. With a quick, deliberate move, Bashir bent down and licked the spoon-shaped protrusion at the top of his breastbone. The touch of his tongue, wet and rough, on that sensitive spot almost made Garak's knees buckle and with a growl, he slid his hand into Bashir's hair. It was a long moment of utter bliss for Garak, the reality that so handily surpassed all that he had fantasised. He had not expected how Bashir's scent -- a sweet aftershave mixing with the metallic tang of his perspiration and thin blood -- would affect him, how the heat of his breath on his skin would inflame his lust. The lips that slid up to feel the shape of his neck and the blunt human teeth that nipped at the swollen, rigid ridge there made his cock ache in its need to be touched, bringing him close to coming even when there was nothing but the silk of his robe touching him. With great effort and self-control he didn't know he possessed, Garak pulled Bashir's head away to look into his eyes. "Julian...what do you want?" "I want to stop waiting. Right now," he said, utterly serious and breath uneven as it punctuated his words. "I want to know what you feel like, what your hands feel like on me..." he continued in a low voice as his hand traced down a fiery path over his robe, from his chest down to his waist, turning his insides liquid. "Julian," Garak whispered, feeling the contraction of his muscles wherever Bashir touched him, as if his touch burned. "I want to know what you taste like, Elim," he finished in a heated whisper. At his words, Bashir's hand slid further down to feel his rapidly growing hardness through the silk. The touch, as gentle and fleeting as it was, was electric, making Garak's breath catch and his groin ache with the need suddenly intensified in him again. The slide of the silk against his throbbing erection was delicious torture as Bashir's fingers felt their way through the fabric, touching him, learning the pattern of scales on his pod and cock. "Oh, Julian," Garak gasped. He grasped the tormenting hand and stepped back so that he could catch his breath. "Tell me what you want me to do, Garak," was his breathless answer, and Garak's groin tightened at the heated look and the flush of arousal on Bashir's face. He needed to calm down, not lose control now that it was finally time for this. "Undress," Garak said, and at the look of confusion on Bashir's face, added, "For me." With a shaky breath, Bashir stepped back and undid the pressure strip fastener of his jumpsuit. "Slowly." Bashir's hand stilled on the pressure strip. He swallowed at the word but did as was told. He slowed down his moves, the jumpsuit slipping off his shoulders with a rolling shrug, gathering the fabric around his waist before he pushed it down to his ankles and stepped out of it along with his boots and socks. The blue undershirt he pulled over his head in one too-swift move, exposing expanses of smooth golden skin, bare of all markings save for the two dun nipples and a slight trail of dark hair that disappeared into a pair of black briefs. "Everything?" "Everything," Garak hummed, touching himself through the robe. He was so hard it was painful, the heavy fabric tented at his groin and brushing against his sensitised skin in an agonising caress. As Bashir pushed the briefs down, his strangely naked cock sprang free of the confines and he sighed in apparent relief. Kicking off the last piece of garment, he straightened. A faint sheen of perspiration on his skin made it glow with warmth in the low light, soft shadows playing where his skin stretched over sleek muscles. His cock, dark with the blood in it and his excitement, was pointing straight at Garak, swaying as Bashir breathed rapidly. "You're beautiful," Garak whispered, his breath catching at the stab of lust that coursed through him as he watched the naked alien so close to him. "I will touch every beautiful inch of you," he promised as he stroked himself through the robe in a delicious torture. He saw the answering hitch in Bashir's breathing, the shiver that travelled through his slender, sleek frame, and the rising interest of his cock. A bead of moisture appeared at the rosy tip, trembling along with the human frame. Saying the next words was the hardest things Garak had ever done. "Tell me first why. Why me, why now?" "There's no end to the things you show me, Elim. Things I never knew before." Bashir paused, his eyes unblinking on Garak and his voice gone thick. "All my men and women have been comfortable, but I don't want comfortable. I want you." Garak exhaled, for his chest was on fire at Bashir's words. "Julian..." "You scare me and excite me in more ways than I can count, and there's so much I want to learn from you. I want you to fuck me until I forget myself, Elim," Bashir whispered in a low voice, echoing Delemek's earlier words. Whether it was intentional or not, Garak didn't know and didn't much care. "Please." It was that word that finally convinced Garak. Untying the belt of his robe, he parted the two halves and leaned back against the curving windowsill. "Come here, then, my sweet man." His eyes never leaving Garak's erection, Bashir approached and didn't stop until he was standing between Garak's thighs. Drunk with his desire, Garak touched Bashir's shoulder, throat, and all that slick, cool human skin that he'd wondered about. His hands found the faint stubble of beard on Bashir's chin, a curious, alien surface he found absolutely the most erotic thing he'd ever touched. "If you don't kiss me now, Garak, I'm going to scream." Garak smiled at Bashir's low, tremulous tone and the ever-present if tense humour in his voice. "We'll save that for later," he answered, equally quietly, before he captured the mouth that tempted him so. The kiss started slow and exploratory, with Garak tasting the chemical tang of lip balm on Bashir's lips, savouring it even as he licked the lower lip. Obediently, Bashir opened his mouth and pressed back harder, his hands coming to grasp his neckridges. Groaning at the bolt of arousal that shot straight to his groin at that, Garak wrapped his arms around Bashir's slender frame and explored the cool, moist human mouth with his tongue. The taste was coppery and earthy, heady in its own right, and when he felt Bashir's hips pressing into his with their cocks trapped in between them, he almost came there and then. In the end, it was Bashir who broke the kiss, leaning back with a dazed, heated look in his eyes and his lips swollen and red. When Garak smoothed his hand down his back, feeling the slim muscles contract before his fingers splayed across the taut ass cheeks, Bashir's eyes fluttered half shut and a low sound of need moaned deep in his throat. "Elim," he whispered and reached down between them. His hand closed around Garak's straining, weeping erection and at the touch, Garak had to hold his breath as not to come quite so quickly. "What do you taste like?" Bashir asked, stroking him with almost painful reverence. "If you don't stop that soon, there might not be enough time for you to learn," Garak groaned in warning, fighting the familiar tightening of his groin. "You'll taste like passion," Bashir husked and leaned in to lick one of his browridges, all the way up to the hairline. His voice was shivering almost as much as his body was in Garak's arms. "And like this...like an autumn day of sunshine and unseen danger." "Julian. Please. Now." As if he'd only been waiting for the very words, Bashir let go of his cock and kneeled down, his mouth seeking out the ridges decorating his broad chest. Apparently intent on investigating each and every scale and ridge, Bashir made his meandering way across the front of his torso, sometimes licking and sucking whatever had caught his attention, sometimes leaning back to watch as he touched one of his brachial or secondary ridges and then traced the trail of scales that bristled in delight at his touch. He left behind trails of saliva and fire, his touch carefully avoiding Garak's aching, rock-hard cock while making the rest of him shift with impatience and moan incoherent words at the stimulation. Finally, after what seemed like endless delicious torment, his hand closed around Garak's shaft again. "Careful," Garak hissed, his thigh muscles trembling in strain as he tried to keep the tension growing in his balls at bay. With no answer but an adoring, aroused glance up at him, Bashir stroked the cock in his hand before licking away the opaque moisture that coated the shaft, leaking from underneath every scale that decorated it. His mouth followed a ridge that ran from the gleaming black glans down to his pod, where he tongued in between every thick, sensitive scale that normally protected his cock. His touch, both tentative and inflaming, made Garak writhe even as he felt his erection harden even more in Bashir's hand when he had thought he could get no harder. Taking his time, Bashir explored everything, leaving no scale without a nip or a lick, and sometimes Garak could feel the vibration of his appreciative murmurs against his heated flesh even though the actual sound was drowned by his breathless, continuous groans. Those sounds turned to a full-on, throaty moan when Bashir finally traced Garak's cock back up with his tongue before taking its length into his mouth. The feel of the cool, slick human mouth on him and the hot breath of Bashir's moan of surprise and approval echoed through his rigid, anguished flesh and made Garak see sparks. His hands threaded into Bashir's hair, clenching and unclenching at the slide of the lips around his shaft. "Oh, Julian..." Garak growled, feeling the inflaming touch of Bashir's tongue on the sensitive underside of his dick and the scrape of fingernails against the scales over his pod, erotic and just rough enough. "Julian, oh, that feels...I'm going to..." he gasped, his toes curling in delight as he felt Bashir take him in all the way, his glans rubbing against the back of his throat. Garak came in a fury of emotion, the white-hot pleasure spreading from his groin outwards until he was blind to all but it and the feel of Bashir's mouth around his cock. Screaming through his peak, blood boiling, he emptied himself and felt his Julian swallow it all, the other man's fingers digging into the inflamed ridges lining his hips and sharpening his prolonged pleasure. When he could see again, Garak opened his eyes and looked down at the human leaning against his chest. Bashir's head was turned to the side, eyes closed and his cheek resting against the swell of his pectoral muscles, and there was a beatific smile on his face. A bead of pale blue semen clung to the corner of his mouth and when Garak wiped it away with his finger, Bashir opened his eyes. What Garak saw there made his breath catch anew. "Why do you look at me like that, Julian?" he asked, breathing heavily and his voice still hoarse from the dying embers of his orgasm. Bashir's smile turned almost drowsy as he regarded him beneath his long lashes. "Because you're beautiful, Elim." And to that, Garak could think of no answer but a kiss into which he poured all that he felt, all his want and love. It was answered in kind, with equal urgency and need. ------------------------------- End of part 7/12. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
