drab of incorrect story telling:)


Mulder lay face down on the hotel bed, wincing at the soreness of his 
ass, and the equally tender emotional pain. Why he felt devastated 
instead of sated was the fact he was lover-less. The whole trip he'd 
just undertaken seemed to be all about allowing Rico to show off 
how 'well-treated' Alex was. It certainly hadn't been fruitful at 
all, at least not in terms of getting Alex away from Rico and back in 
Mulder's life, and now he felt like an utter failure.

Something had to happen now, but he did not know what. Torn between 
rushing back to the scene and demanding Alex's release, and just 
giving up and waiting for Alex to do something, he sighed heavily and 
rolled over onto his side, feeling completely helpless.

*****

Alex was feeling conflicted. Part of him was grateful that Rico had 
just 'played' with Mulder and not hurt him, or worse. He knew Rico 
was certainly capable of it, but…another part of him now almost 
wished Mulder hadn't come in the first place. Rico was treating him 
with amazing gentleness, and it was driving him up the wall, 
confusing him, making him nervous. He didn't know where to turn, whom 
to trust. He had come to expect certain behaviors from Rico, and he 
wasn't getting them--well, at least maybe he could do something about 
that...

Rico entered into the room and looked over at his slave 
casually. "Come," he commanded. Alex refused to move. He waited a 
second and growled, "Now!" Alex still didn't move.

"Do I have to retrain you, my Beauty? Is that what you want? One 
night with Mulder and you become recalcitrant?"

Alex refused to answer him or move. Rico moved lightning quick, 
faster than his bulk belied. He grabbed Alex by his hair and pulled 
his head back to face him. "You are mine, my Beauty! No one else's! 
If I have anyone come into our bed, that is my prerogative! Do you 
understand me?"

Alex remained mute. 

Rico's growl was low and dangerous sounding, but at the same time, it 
gave Alex a chill that had nothing to do with fear, "Answer me, Alex, 
or you shall regret it!"

Alex was shocked at the use of his given name. He raised himself 
slowly from the chair he had been sitting in and turned to face Rico. 
Then suddenly he pounced, slamming into Rico and knocking him to the 
floor. As the large man fell, Alex scrambled to rest his weight down 
on Rico's chest, sitting on top of the larger man and leaning his 
knees on top of Rico's arms, pinning them.

Just as quickly, though, Rico's legs rose up, with the grace and 
strength of one long used to hand-to-hand combat and special skills 
learned by a former lover, and grabbed Alex around his chest, pushing 
the younger man off of him. 

"You are no match for me, Alex. Give it up," Rico stated as he rose 
from the floor gracefully. 

Alex, though a little winded, scrambled up from his sprawl across the 
floor and rushed again at Rico.  The larger man smiled indulgently 
down at his flushed, angry face, and that just increased Alex's 
determination to hurt the big man in some way. He raised his fist and 
punched Rico right in the nose. Rico just laughed, though Alex knew 
he had felt the larger man's nose give a bit. 

"I did not know you would be so rambunctious today, Alex. I could 
have set something up in the play room." He put his hand up to his 
nose and squeezed carefully. "I think you just straightened it. 
Thanks, my Beauty." Without further ado, he pressed Alex to him and 
kissed him passionately. 

Alex was nonplussed but the kiss seemed to evoke something in him. He 
murmured hotly in Rico's ear, "Fuck me like you used to, Rico. No 
games, no master, no fucking 'Beauty'. Just you and me. Remember our 
first time?"

Those words sent a thrill through Rico and he growled, grabbing up 
Alex and pinning him to the wall with his own body.  He bent his head 
to kiss Alex as he had the first time he revealed to the younger man 
his feelings, making sure to express his love for the man who had 
captured his heart so long ago.

Alex pulled his face away to breathe and Rico began nuzzling his neck 
and behind his ear.  Alex moaned, getting into the feeling, reminded 
of the love he used to have for Rico. It had always been there, just 
under the surface and had not been shoved completely away, despite 
mistreatment and fear.

Alex wrapped one leg around Rico's body, letting his erection glide 
over the other man's, eliciting a small groan, and Rico spun him 
around and pushed him down on the bed.

Rico wanted this so much, more than he had realized until Alex had 
showed him. This raw, passionate Alex was the man he remembered, the 
man he had fallen in love with, before the subdued slave had taken 
over. Never mind that it was his doing, his torture, that had reduced 
Alex to his slave state; this was exactly what he had been missing 
all this time.

*****

Mulder heard a knock on his door and he jumped up from the bed to 
answer it quickly. Walter stood there with a concerned look on his 
face, but before he could speak, Mulder grabbed him and pulled him 
into the hotel room. He maneuvered Walter over to the bed and pushed 
him down on it.

"Mulder, what the hell--? What about Alex? Shouldn't we try to do 
something constructive?"

"Yeah, I am...I wanna fuck you into the mattress. How's that for 
constructive, big guy?"

Walter tried to sit up but six feet and one hundred and seventy 
pounds of G-man weighed him down. He tried once more to lift the man 
off of him, but to no avail, then simply sighed and let Mulder do 
what he felt he had to.

"Mulder, don't you think--" he was cut off as Mulder's tongue thrust 
into his mouth.  The younger man was tugging at Walter's clothing, 
and at his own, nearly keening in his desperation to make them both 
naked. Walter helped, and soon their pants and shirts were nothing 
more than fancy throw rugs on the floor, and Mulder was slipping a 
hand under Walter's ass, tickling at the cleft of his cheeks with a 
hurried finger.

When Walter pulled away to breathe, he gasped, "I thought you would 
want to bottom."

Mulder shook his head. "My ass is way too sore for that. Right now, I 
want some prime AD beef and I plan to get some!"

"Mulder..." the older man was cut off again by a hot fibbie tongue 
and this time he decided to just go with it.

*****

Rico looked down at his exhausted lover and was gripped with a 
feeling of pure overwhelming love for the man sleeping beside him. He 
didn't want to tell Alex about the assignment that the smoking man 
had brought up to him the other day. He knew it would mean either 
leaving Alex behind or involving him, and both thoughts worried him. 
He didn't think he could trust Alex enough yet to involve him in this 
particular project, but he hesitated in leaving his Beauty behind. He 
was quite sure that without his presence Alex would try to escape, 
and between the houseguards incompetence, and the fact that his 
Beauty's two past lovers were probably still sniffing around, he'd 
probably succeed. And that would not do. He would have to take his 
Beauty with him, unless he could find some way to keep him completely 
isolated, sheltered and far from anyone else. Somehow there had to be 
a way to make sure that Alex remained his and his alone, even when 
they were separated. Still smiling down at Alex's prone form, he 
began to devise a plan to make him feel all the emotions he had for 
him… 

*****

Walter quite enjoyed bottoming once and awhile, and when Mulder was 
so hot for him, it made sitting on a hip for a day or two afterwards 
all worthwhile. Mulder's tongue was thrusting into his mouth in the 
same rhythm that his cock was fucking him, and Walter's thoughts 
began to disperse with each loving assault on his mouth and ass, 
until everything was a blur of sensation, love and lust combining to 
make him take complete leave of his senses. When his brain came back 
online, he groaned under the weight of a 170-pound fibbie agent lying 
boneless on top of him.  Strands of brown hair were caught in his 
mouth and he spat them out gently while he tried to get his bearings. 
He realized that they were probably glued together or soon would be 
if they didn't get up and do something about it. 

"Mulder…" he croaked, then cleared his throat. "Come on. I have to 
get up."

Mulder groaned and slowly rolled off to the side of Walter's body, 
wondering why he felt like a Mac truck had hit him. It wasn't like 
he'd never topped before. But this had been different, and he 
supposed it might have been a combination of his earlier excesses, 
coupled with the deep feelings he had for the man lying beside him.

"Damn, did you get the license plate number?" he mumbled. 

Walter looked over at the bruised looking younger man with 
concern. "What did Rico do to you, Mulder?" He grabbed Mulder and 
began pulling him this way and that in search of something.

"Stop, Walter! The room's spinning as it is..."

"Shit, they must have drugged you."

Mulder shook his head to clear his head and to deny what Walter said.

"I didn't eat or drink anything...and I don't recall being...well, I 
was unconscious for a bit but I had two big men on top of me."

Walter's eyebrows rose. "Oh?"

Mulder gave a crooked smile to Walter's query. Walter's heart did a 
little hop at that. He looked so beautiful that the older man found 
himself, not for the first time, questioning his own self worth, and 
wondering just how he'd wound up with this wonderful man in the first 
place. Such was his love for Mulder, not to mention his own self-
image.

"Come on, beautiful," he murmured and kissed the tip of Mulder's 
nose, "we have to get cleaned up if we want to plan Operation Rescue."

Mulder brushed a hand over that part of his anatomy that Walter had 
just kissed, looked heartbreakingly self-conscious for a moment, then 
grinned and hopped out of the bed, offering his hand to his lover. 
Walter stared at it incredulously for a second then took it, letting 
the younger man help him out of bed. 

"I am not that old," he grumbled.

"No, but you are mine," growled Mulder, pulling Walter against him. 

Not the most masterful Mulderseque he'd ever heard, but he opted to 
go with it.

"Anything you say, Master," he replied almost humbly, but the twinkle 
in his brown eyes gave him away though.

Mulder smiled again and kissed Walter thoroughly before he pulled him 
into the bathroom.

****

Rico pulled Alex against his wet body, letting his lover sit 
comfortably between his legs as they lay in the tub letting the warm 
water soothe them. Rico's hand came up to run a warm soapy rag up and 
down Alex's arm. Then he dropped the rag and his hand came up to 
caress Alex's chest. Alex moaned, loving this type of attention more 
than anything he had felt from the older man in a long time. Rico 
began to nibble on his ear as his hand played with a pert nipple. 
Alex began to pant as Rico's tongue lapped down his neck, closed his 
eyes, and suddenly his thoughts were full of Mulder and Skinner.

"I think we forgot something not too long ago, my Beauty," Rico 
murmured against his neck, not sounding as affectionate as his 
actions.

Alex stiffened immediately at the sudden use of the hated moniker. 

"Before this dreadful business with Mulder and Skinner, I was 
planning on marking you, if you remember. I think it is long overdue, 
don't you?" he asked Alex calmly.

Alex kept his eyes closed and whispered, "Please..."

"Please what, Beauty? You are mine. I must mark you to show that you 
are always mine, no one else's. Besides, the old man wants me for a 
special project. I don't know how long it will be. I cannot risk 
bringing you with me, my love. You must stay here. Jim will take care 
of you. And so you must have my mark, to keep you safe. To keep you 
here. This will be a way of reminding you of my love."

Alex froze in fear and uncertainty. Thoughts raced in his mind 
chaotically, until only one thing seemed to shout out at him more 
than any other thought. He had to kill Rico. Even as the cold, almost 
forgotten voice of his own thoughts startled him he realized that it 
was the only way. He could tell himself that Rico loved him, that 
Rico cared about him, but the fact of the matter was that Rico was 
dangerous. To his lovers, naturally, but to himself as well, and he 
finally felt like he was seeing it clearly. All Rico's talk of 
marking had cleared his delusions as coldly as winter's first frost 
on autumn roses, and he knew he had to act. And soon, before Rico 
could dissuade him. He had to plan it perfectly. Rico leaving to do a 
project for Spender was an opportunity. It would give him the time he 
needed to plan it. Another thought suddenly occurred to him. He would 
see which option was more viable. All he needed to do was make a 
phone call…
