Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN X-Men!!!!!!!!! They belong to Marvel Comics. (You all know this) I just own Ethan Howlett, aka: Valor. Oh, and some other random characters I made up; but at the moment, they're not important.
Author's Notes: This is part of a series that I wrote for a friend; that was based on a dream. It's not totally great. If you really want to read it, just ask for it and I'll send it to you. This is the tail of it. It's based on the late-night musings of myself and my beta; when I wondered what happened to make Cable so pissed off at Apocalypse; and what would happen if half brothers met; not knowing who each other really is.
Warnings: A.U. / Slash. Same old same old from me.
Chapter 2
Nathan leaned against the counter, staring down at figures and maps. Ethan blinked several times; wondering how Cable could focus on such minute details for so long. He sniffed the air, then sniffed his shirt and make face.
"Hey Nathan, is there a place I can shower off?"
"Uh, yeah. Just past my room."
Valor stretched a little, pulled off his shirt and smiled down at the other man. Nathan stopped searching his papers as Valor put a hand on his thick shoulder. "Thanks." Nathan felt his mouth go dry and wasn't able to answer him. He thought that Valor didn't notice, as he let go and headed away. Cable rested his elbows on the counter; and his head in his hands. `Pull it together. He doesn't want you, Nathan. How could he? You're a man; and he'd want a woman You wanted a woman. What's wrong with you?' Nathan banged his fists into the counter frustrated with his own feelings. The sound of water falling and the idea of the man underneath it distracted him from previous thoughts. His feelings overpowered his head. Cable looked down at his feet, then down the hall smiling at the thought of Ethan naked soapy wet his muscles standing out as water poured over him. The thoughts were too overpowering. `I want to so much; but he won't want me Will he?' Cable looked down the hall again; looked back at his feet; then followed his cock instead of his brain.
Valor grabbed the soap and rubbed it between his hands. He spread the lather over his arms, then turned into the water. He let the water flow over his chest and head; closing his eyes and letting the magical flow and the steam envelope him. With his eyes still closed, he rubbed the soap over his muscular chest and back; letting the sudsy water flow into his private crevasses. He rubbed aching muscles; suddenly looking up and around him. He shook his head a little. `Forget it Ethan; you're getting paranoid. You're perfectly safe here. Nobody's spying on you here.' He rolled his eyes. `Nathan's got this place more secure than my parents are. No; it's not Nathan. It's Cable. Cable's a cool guy A great guy Maybe that's what's wrong here. But I'm not He's not At least; I think I'm not. But when be touched my arm; and when I touched his shoulder '
Valor shivered a little; hiding his smile. He bent over, rubbing the bar over his muscular thighs and caves. Slowly the little white bubbles formed as Ethan inscribed circles into the sore skin. Steam blurred the world around him making him content to be clean and secure in his surroundings.
But the blurred world did hide something from Valor. His instincts took over as he washed his ankles, he looked to his left and saw another ankle. Valor washed up his left calf; there was another, paler calf next to him. And up his thigh; there was a gorgeous, muscular thigh next to him. And next to that thigh that stood next to his, Valor saw a long, perfect, thick dick. His breathing came a little quicker. He stood up, one eyebrow raised smiling a little.
"What were you waiting for; an invitation?"
Nathan smiled at him, and tried not to laugh. "You don't mind?" Ethan smiled shaking his head. "So you want it too?" The shaking turned to nodding. "Then we should "
Ethan put his hand on Cable's shoulder. "It's okay, we can take it a little slow."
"Yeah." Nathan nodded. He took the soap out of Valor's hand, and gently rubbed it over his shoulders. Coyly Ethan turned. Nathan rubbed over Ethan's back; going lower and lower stopping to caress Ethan's ass. Ethan inhaled deeply "Oh yeah. That feels good." Cable leaned over and kissed the back of Ethan's neck. He pulled back a little unsure that he hadn't crossed a line. Ethan turned around, smiled and put his hand on Nathan's shoulder. Then moved it behind his head and pulled Nathan in, kissing his soft, full lips. Cable's surprise showed in his face. Ethan's lips were fuller than any woman's, and his taste was intoxicating. Cable closed his eyes and lost himself in it. The power of the passion electrified them.
Ethan's fingers massaged the back of Nathan's neck and head. He rubbed his shoulders and back, pulling Cable in farther and farther. Cable let his hands wander where he wanted them to. He rubbed Ethan's lower back, and caressed his butt; letting his hands feel the soft, warm skin that the more he felt the more he needed to feel. They pulled back, breathless from the embrace. Cable pulled away a little.
"Wanna stop, Cable?" Ethan asked, his face a study in slight seriousness. Cable shook his head.
"No call me Nathan. I just just don't know how far you wanna go Valor."
"Call me Ethan." Valor said softly moved his head next to Cable's shoulder, and whispered into his ear. "I'll go however far you're ready to." He kissed the outer edge of Cable's ear; then kissed a trail down his neck; lingering on the sensitive spot between collarbone and neck. Cable purred with pleasure. Ethan looked up. "So you like that?" He smiled; and as the water poured down his back, he kissed and sucked on the spot. Cable breathed deeply and quickly; purring occasionally. Eventually Ethan pulled back a little, and surveyed his mouth work. "Gonna leave a nice little mark." He licked the little bruise, then went back to Cable's head.
Their lips met at the same time, pushing against each other enough to make both want to apply more; to be the dominant lover. Both were powerful and passionate. But pushing harder against each other's mouths, devouring each other and opening themselves for the other's tongues made them forget everything except the ardor that flowed between them.
Their hands clutching at the other's warm skin as they kissed. Their wet, naked bodies rubbing against each other. Ethan banged Cable into the wet wall, and licked his cheek a little, then caressing his way down, Ethan grabbed Nathan's cock, making him gasp with pleasure. Ethan loosened his grip a little, letting his eyes ask what words couldn't express. Cable nodded, and gasping closed his eyes, leaning his head against the wall. Valor smiled, and rewrapped his fingers around Nathan's cock, letting one finger after another gently press into the soft, warm flesh. A soft moan caught in Cable's throat.
The organ tightened in Ethan's hand; hardening. He knelt; disappearing into the steam. The water that had been hitting his back now streamed down Cable's chest. Cable leaned against the wall; enjoying the water and the individual who now cradled his hard member in his hand. Ethan held Cable's cock for another minute; stroking it's length with his thumb. He took the end and squeezed lightly, making Cable let out a deep noise of pleasure and gasp at the feeling that was strange and gratifying. A little drop of liquid came out, and Ethan lapped it up with his tongue.
"You taste good." He said, grinning up at Cable; who had to smile back. Ethan decided that he tasted so good that he wanted more. He took the whole tip into his mouth; then slowly made his way up Cable's shaft. Cable breathed deeply, trying to hold himself in; mot wanting it to end. But when Ethan started licking his balls Cable couldn't hold it anymore. With a last moan of pleasure he released, spattering Ethan's shoulder and the wall behind him.
Panting and happy, Cable knelt next to Ethan and kissed him. He wanted to thank him; to tell him how happy he was; but words failed him. He just pulled Ethan in and kissed him again.
"Liked it did you?" Valor said, laughing. Cable had just one word for him.
"More."
Ethan grinned deviantly. He reached up, turning off the water. Standing, both left the stall, and wrapped towels around their waists.
"So where's your bed?" Ethan asked. Cable smiled bashfully and waved for him to follow. Outside of the warm shower, the air was cool. The cold air brought them closer. Ethan grabbed Cable's wrist and pulled him back, kissing him and grabbing his ass. When they parted, Cable ran his fingers over his lips.
"Think I've lost feeling in them."
"Then let me help you feel it again." He pulled Cable in again, kissing him and letting his tongue explore Cable's mouth. As they kissed, they banged through the bedroom door. It closed after them and the towels disappeared as they fell onto Cable's bed. Parting as they hit the cold cotton sheets. Cable reached down, and pulled up the top sheet.
A shiver ran through them both as the cold sheet hit their warm flesh. It dove them closer together, wrapping their muscular arms around each other. Their eyes met, and Ethan reached up; running his fingers through Cable's soft hair. Cable smiled and kissed him. Ethan let his fingers wander; his tender touch caressing Nathan's supple muscles.
"Take me." Cable whispered.
"You sure?" Cable nodded, and lay on his back. Ethan lay on top of him, kissing him, and stroking his shoulders and arms. Cable spread his legs and Ethan moved between them. He caressed Cable's supple thigh muscles, rubbing them and sighing. "Cable, you sure that you "
"Call me Nathan."
Those three words did more than any others could have at that moment. Ethan smiled down at his lover, and pulled Nathan's thighs over his; lifting him a little. He pushed his hard cock into Nathan's ass, not opening the hole at all before he did to stretch it. It made it more powerfully intoxicating. The little hole yielded to the soft muscle making Nathan close his eyes and moan. Ethan looked down at him. Nathan's parted lips gasping for air because of the tight muscles squeezing against his hard cock. The dim light washed over his glistening, wet muscular and metallic form. Ethan slowly shifted his way half way out of Nathan, then slowly back in. Nathan inhaled quickly.
"Am I hurting you?"
Nathan grinned up at him. "In all the best ways."
Ethan's movements were slow, and lingering. Cable's hands strayed, caressing Ethan's deep leg muscles and digging into his butt as he gently thrust into Cable. Once in a while, Nathan would tense; unused to being entered into. But Valor would stroke down from where his legs met his hips to his cock. The soft movement would immediately relax the tense man; though the pressure made their act more enjoyable. Ethan's release was as gentle as his movements had been; and the pleasure that came after it washed over them slowly and lingered. But the cool night air of Cable's home drove them both close under the old, but warm blankets where they slept, for once uninterrupted, throughout the rest of the night.
