********************************

Xander could tell Graham was only steps behind him
when they re-
entered the living room. Tara was still seated on the
couch whilst
Willow was in the kitchen making popcorn. They both
smiled when they
saw the two men come back in.

`Popcorn?' Willow held an enormous bowl full of
popcorn out towards
Xander. Once he had taken it she started rummaging
around in his
cupboards, pulling four wineglasses out.

Graham moved into the kitchen as Willow began trying
to uncork the
rather large bottle of red wine she'd brought with
her. Her
diminutive size didn't seem to be helping and Graham
moved to lend a
hand.

`Such a gentleman.' Graham blushed at her remark, and
just smiled
back at her.

`Uh, Willow about before ?' letting his voice trail
off as he removed
the cork, the bottle making a loud popping sound.
Graham grabbed the
bottle and followed Willow out of the kitchen. `I was
?', he paused,
unsure of what to say.

`I didn't notice anything Graham, I don't know what
you mean.' A look
of mock confusion on her face. She turned to face him,
smiling.

Graham actually laughed when the girl winked at him.

`Now move your ass soldier, we're watching videos
before Xan changes
his mind and kicks us out.' Now the four of them were
laughing.
Although Graham hoped Xander felt just as embarrassed
as he did.

******************************************

Graham hadn't actually noticed, but Willow had managed
to make sure
that both he and Xander were able to sit together on
the couch. He
was getting a little concerned at how manipulative she
had become,
but didn't really mind when it meant he could sit this
close to his
lover.

At first he'd felt uncomfortable, knew the girls were
watching and
had kept his hands to himself. About halfway through
the first video
however, Graham had decided to see how much he could
get away with.
Not sure if it was lust or boredom that drove him to
it as the movie
was definitely doing nothing for him.

Both Xander and Graham had started leaning closer as
soon as the
movie had begun. Now the two of them were pressed
together, Graham
loving the heat and the contact where their bodies
touched. The
warmth generating from the other man causing the same
reaction deep
in the ex-marine's stomach. Warmth.

The two girls seemed distracted, //God knows why//
Graham twisted
around, placing his hand behind Xander's shoulders on
the back of the
couch. Stage One.

Xander seemed pleased, Graham felt him wriggle in
closer, the
movement almost causing Graham to give the whole game
away.

Hand slipping down, Graham wrapped his arm round
Xander's shoulders.
Keeping an eye on the other two as they seemed
enthralled by the
television. Stage Two.

Graham was not sure what Xander was willing to let him
get away with,
so he progressed slowly, reassured by the other man's
reaction.

Graham, smile on his face, reached down and held onto
Xander's hand,
squeezed it once, was pleased to feel the pressure
returned. Stage
Three.

The two men sat on the couch together. Graham could
feel Xander
breathing, the whole sensation moving through his
body. The ex-marine
unconsciously matching his breathing to that of his
lover's.

Graham focused his attention back on the television,
at least now he
might be able to enjoy Stepmom.

Could sense movement from the two girls. Could see
them moving
closer, snuggling. Smiled in return to the large grin
on Willow's
face.

***************************************

Could feel Xander moving as he realised the first
movie was about to
end, still quite early, so Graham felt annoyed they
couldn't ask the
girls to leave yet. Felt in turn ashamed that he had
thought that.
Enjoyed the company of the two girls, but not as much
as the man who
until moments before had been reclining in his arms.

Xander now sat, fully stretched. Looked across at the
smiling form of
Willow. `You are so never picking videos ever again.'

The two witches laughed at Xander's reaction. `Come on
Xan, that was
nice.' More laughter, Graham joining in as he saw
Xander blush.

Stopped immediately when he felt his lover's eyes on
him, mock hurt
on his face. `Gotta agree with Xan I'm afraid Willow.'
Hoping to
distract the other man's attention.

`Ready for the next?' Willow already moving to the
machine.

`Quicker it starts the quicker it'll finish.' Xander
really wasn't
enjoying the videos his friend had chosen.

`Just give me a minute.' Tara stood and wandered out
of the room.

Graham stood and stretched moving towards the kitchen.
`You want
another drink Willow?' He grabbed the now half empty
bottle from the
bench top. Filled her glass when she nodded.

`You babe?' Stopped immediately. `Er I mean Xan.'
Could feel the
blush staining his cheeks. Now it was Xander's turn to
laugh,
although not as much as Willow.

Graham quickly filled his lover's glass. Tried not to
spill any red
wine as Xander seemed to still be laughing, then
topped up his own.

The two were still laughing when Tara came back and
Willow started
the video back up, Graham glad for the distraction.

He moved to sit back down, this time slightly apart
from
Xander. //Make him pay for laughing//

Xander immediately moved in, pressing himself against
his lover.
Graham couldn't resist and assumed the same position
they had just
left. Xander didn't seem to mind the two girls
watching intently, and
Graham was hardly going to say no. He squeezed him
gently, pulling
him against him.

***********************************

As much as Xander was enjoying being pressed against
Graham, he was
pleased to see the end of the next video. He also knew
that it more
than likely meant the two witches would leave and that
prospect
definitely excited him.

`Well, I personally liked both those videos.' Willow
joked as she
stood up to stretch her tired body. The two girls
laughed when Xander
just grunted in response.

The dark-haired man had once again extricated himself
from their
position, and was now sitting close to the edge of the
couch he still
shared with his lover. He watched Willow and Tara get
up.

`I think we'll call it a night, leave you two boys
alone.' Willow's
smile seemed to be getting bigger by the minute. She
moved over and
hugged Graham, then led Xander to the door. Tara just
smiled and
remained where she was, giving the two the privacy
they wanted.

Xander let himself be led, leaving his lover and
Willow's girlfriend
further in the lounge. Willow was definitely making
him feel like a
16 year old again.

Willow hugged him, holding him tight. He knew she was
giving him her
approval, she almost didn't need to speak.

`Graham says I should tell you.' Xander whispered
against her ear,
the two best friends still hugging.

`Just when you're ready, sometimes it can be hard just
putting it
into words.' Willow pulled away, arms still around
him. She moved
back in kissing him on the cheek. `Just when you're
ready'.

Xander smiled and nodded. `You know you're the first
I'd tell.'

Willow nodded in response. `I know.' They hugged
again.

Xander could feel his best friend's face pressed
against his,
whispering into his ear. `Tell Graham he's the
luckiest guy in the
world.'

Xander just smiled and nodded, breaking the hug and
letting Willow
hold both his hands in hers. He met her gaze and
smiled.

`When you're ready, just gimme a call and I'll pop
round and give him
the shovel talk, `kay?'

One more hug and the two witches left. Tara squeezing
his hand as she
went out the door. Xander was worried, the two girls
looked far too
pleased with themselves.

Xander turned back into the room, pleased to see the
look of desire
on his lover's face. `No offence babe, but am I glad
to see them go?'
Xander had to laugh at Graham.

`So boyfriend, you wanna sneak into my room and make
out?' Xander
attempted innocence but assumed he just sounded
lecherous instead.

Graham didn't seem to mind, he quickly moved forward
pinning Xander
against the now closed door. The two men kissed,
Xander allowing the
other man to leisurely explore his mouth, suckling
against Graham's
tongue as he thrust it into his mouth. Xander wrapped
his arms around
the other man's shoulders as his lover thrust up
against him, their
entire bodies moulding together.

Xander fisted the material of Graham's shirt in his
hands and slowly
began to slide the shirt up. His lover began to moan
against his
mouth as Xander's hands explored the now exposed flesh
of his back.
Xander let out a moan of protest as Graham broke the
kiss. Quickly
looked up into his lover's smiling face and watched
him remove his
shirt. Their lower bodies still pressed together,
pinning Xander
against the door. Xander could feel Graham's cock
pressed hard
against him, the contact driving him wild.

Xander quickly followed suit removing his own shirt,
the two now bare
chested. Graham began rubbing his hands over Xander's
exposed torso.
Something about the way the other man was touching
him, the simple
contact sending bolts of electricity through him.

`So fucking beautiful.' Graham's eyes staring at his
lovers body,
following his hands as they played against the hard
muscle of
Xander's chest. `Any chance you'd consider leaving
your shirt off
full time?'

Graham's eyes sought out his lover's when he didn't
respond. He could
see Xander looked embarrassed, trying to decide what
to say. Graham
tilted his head questioningly, fingers dancing across
the other mans
chest, lightly fingering his nipples.

`What?'

`You think I'm beautiful?'

Graham was confused, let the emotion play across his
face. `Why do
you find that so hard to believe?'

`It's just ? you, it's just ? I mean look at you!
You're so fucking
beautiful I sometimes have to pinch myself to make
sure I'm not
dreaming.' Now it was Graham's turn to be embarrassed.
He quickly
pressed one finger to Xander's lips attempting to
silence him.

`Xan, you are so hot, each time we make love I try and
wake up before
you just so I can watch you without you noticing. The
only problem is
that usually doesn't last long, because the only thing
I want to do
more than watch you, is touch you.'

Xander still couldn't speak. He slowly opened his
mouth and began
licking softly against the finger Graham still had
pressed to his
lips. He wrapped his tongue around the digit and
slowly sucked it
into his mouth. Xander watched Graham close his eyes
as he began to
grind harder against Xander.

`Fuck, baby.' Graham's voice sounded broken with
desire. `Come on ?'
he quickly broke contact and started to lead Xander
towards the
bedroom. `If we do this out here again I'll need to
buy you another
front door.' Graham smiling at him reminding Xander of
the first time
the two men had made love.

Xander followed his lover eagerly.

************************************

The two men fell atop the bed, Graham moving upwards
to pin Xander
down under his weight. Xander lay back letting the
other man take
control, pulling his face down so they could kiss.

Graham straddled Xander, moving his weight back and
forth against
him. Xander began to moan as the friction began to
drive him wild. He
twisted and rolled Graham over so the two were now
facing each other.

He reached one hand out, the two men still kissing,
and slid his hand
up and down his lover's erection, pressed tight
against his pants.
Graham began to moan in enjoyment. `Need these off'

Graham didn't need to be told twice as he reached for
the buttons to
Xander's pants, allowing the other man to remove his
own.

The two men soon became entangled, neither wanting to
break the kiss
as they tried to remove each other's pants. Xander
moved back,
smiling as his lover moved forward in response,
unhappy to break
apart, trailing soft kisses against his face and
mouth.

`Woah, down boy.' Xander pushed his lover down onto
his back and
moved to sit up. He quickly pulled his pants off
exposing his already
hard cock. He looked back at his lover, could see the
desire misting
his eyes, a beautiful sight, short hair in disarray.

He trailed his hand down the hard muscles of Graham's
chest, the
other man arching into him, trying to increase the
amount of contact.
Xander was just using the tips of his fingers, leaving
feather-light
trails, shooting desire through the other man's body.

Xander moved down the bed, and slowly and laboriously
began removing
the ex-marine's pants. Xander carefully avoided coming
into contact
with his lover's cock, forcing the other man to buck
upwards whenever
his hands were near him. Xander just chuckled in
response, finally
removing his pants completely.

Xander stood at the foot of the bed, contemplating the
vision before
him. He began to trail his fingers up Graham's legs.
Slowly trailing
up the inside of his thighs, Graham now slightly
parting them for
him. Head thrown back in pleasure.

`Oh God baby.'

Xander was simply drinking in the sight before him,
the pleasure
rippling through his lover's muscular body was making
him so hard.
Xander's fingers moving slowly up and down the insides
of his legs.

Xander circled his lover, slowly moving up onto the
bed, kneeling
beside his prone form. He moved his hands up and
started to stroke
across Graham's flat stomach. He slowly bent down and
began to place
wet, open mouthed kisses across the hard muscles
there. He felt
Graham entwine his fingers in his hair as he did this,
could hear the
man crooning his name as he moved his body against
him.

Xander could taste the hot muskiness of Graham's
flesh. Loved the
saltiness he began to slowly lap at. Long hard licks
with the flat of
his tongue.

`Oh baby, I need, I need you ?' Graham unable to
speak, his lover
knew instinctively what he wanted.

Xander slowly moved his head down, settling between
his lover's legs,
he waited till Graham opened his eyes to meet his
gaze. Blowing
slightly on the sensitive head of his cock. The light
contact causing
him to gasp in pleasure.

Xander waited until Graham was watching him then slid
the head of his
cock into his mouth, he continued to watch him as
Graham threw his
head back, arching his body, moaning in ecstasy.
Xander began to lave
Graham's cock, sliding the entire length into his
mouth, then fully
out again, trying to pleasure his lover.

Graham seemed to be appreciating Xander's efforts as
the dark-haired
man slowly began to pump his own cock in time with the
way he sucked
Graham.

Xander could feel Graham running his fingers through
his hair, soft
pressure applied to his scalp. He slowly moved his
tongue up and down
the shaft of Graham's cock, the taste of the other man
driving him
wild. Xander loved the way the other man filled him,
enjoying the
pleasure he was giving him, his mouth surrounding his
lover entirely,
as he covered his erection with saliva. Graham
continued to moan.

Xander began suckling just the head of his lover's
cock, relishing
the taste as Graham began to gently pump deeper into
his mouth.
Xander knew the light contact was driving him crazy,
knew Graham
wanted more. He quickly sheathed his lover's cock
fully inside his
mouth, as deep as he could. He placed his other hand
around Graham,
encircling the base of his cock, allowing his fingers
to gently knead
the other mans balls. His lover continued to moan,
short breaths
signalling his enjoyment.

The sensation soon became too much for Graham. Xander
could tell he
was close, increasing the thrusts of his own cock.
Xander could hear
his lover begin crooning his name again, knew he would
come soon.
Xander reached under Graham with his free hand and
slowly began
toying with the entrance to his lover's ass. Slowly
rolling his
finger, gently probing the tight hole. When he knew
Graham was close,
he slowly slid his finger inside the other man, gently
twisting,
thrusting softly against the tight muscle there.

The effect was immediate. Graham's grip in his hair
became harder,
and Xander could feel the soft flesh of his balls
tightening as he
came. Graham's cock pulsing in his mouth, filling him
as Xander
continued to pump and twist his finger inside the
other man.

Xander tried to swallow all of him, the hot saltiness
tasting of his
lover. Xander continued to lick at the now softening
cock as Graham
writhed beneath him.

Xander continued to pump his own cock, knew he was
close, sharp
intakes of breath. He could feel his lover pull him
further up,
position him sitting pressed against his muscular
stomach. Graham
reached his hand up enfolding Xander's in his own,
adding his hand as
they both pumped his cock.

Xander could feel Graham watching him, the look on his
face too much
for Xander, causing him to orgasm, his hot cum
spilling across his
lover's chest, coating both men's hands as they slowly
milked him.
Xander was lost in ecstasy, feeling his lover's hand
surround him.
The two men now exhausted.

Graham slowly moved Xander's hand up to his face.
Xander watched as
his lover began to lick his semen off his fingers,
licking and
sucking each digit into his mouth. The sight driving
him crazy.

Once he'd finished, Xander collapsed next to him on
the bed, the two
men slightly sticky but content. Xander burrowed in
tighter, allowing
Graham to cocoon him against his body.

`God that was incredible.' He could hear Graham's
voice from above
him, his chin pressed down against the top of his
head, arms
surrounding him. The two men's legs now intertwining.
Xander kissed
him softly on the chest in response, licking gingerly
over one of
Graham's sensitive nipples. He was pleased to hear
Graham gasp in
reaction.

`So good,' again from above.

`You too.' His only response sleepily from his
position pressed
against his lover. Xander could feel sleep almost
claim him, his
breathing slowed, matching against the soft rhythm he
could feel from
the warm body he was pressed to.

`God, you're so beautiful baby.' He hazily felt Graham
kiss the top
of his head. Almost claimed by sleep now.

`I love you Xander.' The last words he heard,
dreamily, before sleep
claimed him.

****************************************

Graham felt a sharp poke against his side, waking him
instantly. Eyes
flying open, concern foremost, he looked straight into
the eyes of ?
his lover.

`Hey Sleepyhead.' Xander kissed him playfully on the
mouth, softly,
not allowing the other man entry. He pulled his head
away and pulled
Graham closer, arms wrapped tight around him.

`Morning already?'

`Yeah you slept like a baby.'

`That's `cause I had my special electric blanket to
keep me so warm.'
Xander squeezed him tightly in response. His mind
whirring. Since
he'd slipped asleep last night after he'd heard what
Graham had said,
all he'd been able to think about since he woke was
the man sleeping
next to him. The man Xander knew he loved.

Xander held Graham tight, face flat against the top of
his head. `I
do too'.

Graham looked up at his lover, confused. `You do too
what?'

`What you said last night, I do too.'

Graham's eyes widened in shock, a large smile broke
out on his face
as he quickly squirmed his way up so the two were face
to face.

`I love you Graham.' He kissed him passionately,
taking his time to
explore the other man's mouth with his tongue.

`I love you too Xander.' Both men smiling now.

`So Gray, you got time for a shower before you leave?'
Graham quickly
pulled the other man with him as he moved out of the
bed.
