It had been a long week. He wasn't sure he could take it much longer. His associate had needed a place to stay and he had room. He should have keep his mouth shut. Now they had the next two days off and would be spending it together. He was the best undercover agent the Denver ATF had, or so Mr. Larabee, his boss keep telling him. His mother had taught him to control his emotions and never let any hint of what he was thinking show. His friends called it his "poker face". So why was he having a problem? Well, the fact that the man he has loved for over two years now was staying with him.

When Vin's apartment had been ventilated by an irate gang member, he had needed a place to stay. Normally, he would have stayed at Chris's ranch, but the Team had been called to Washington. Vin Tanner, Team 7's, sharpshooter and himself, had to testify that week. So they had been left here, gladly, he had no desire to be in meetings all day, in Washington. Especially, since Chris Larabee and politicians did not mix. Not at all. The attack on Vin had scared him and he hadn't wanted Vin at Chris's ranch by himself, so, he had offered his guest room and Vin had agreed.

It had taken some adjustment, but things had been fine until that first night. His guest bathroom was not working, so Vin had to use his. He had been in his room when Vin came out with a towel slung low on his hips. He was getting hard just remembering how smooth and muscular his chest was. It was like that all week, seeing Vin in nothing but a towel, shirtless, he had even washed that God forsaken automobile in his yard, wearing only shorts with water cascading down his tall, lean frame.

He would almost swear that the Texan was doing it on purpose, but he had never shown interest, before. He had wanted the soft spoken man for so long, he was having trouble not giving into his heart's deepest, fondest wish, to tear the towel off and take him then and there.

Ezra Standish, undercover agent in Denver's most elite team, The Magnificent Seven as the other teams called them, pulled up behind the blue jeep of his house guest. Steeling himself against his emotions and desire, he walked into his condo. Putting his things up and going to the kitchen for a beer, he then sat on the couch and rested his head on the back of it. He must have dozed for a minute, because the soft drawl startled him.

"You OK Ez?" Vin had sat down on the arm of the couch, with his feet on the cushion facing Ezra. He knew Ezra wouldn't like it, but right now he didn't care. He had been trying to seduce the southerner for four days. He knew the conman was attracted to him, but he wanted Ezra to make the first move. Show he trusted him with his feelings. It hadn't worked, yet.

He was in love with Ezra. He hoped that if they started a relationship together, the conman would eventually feel the same. The man had never tried anything. He watched Ezra watching him, so he took a long pull on his beer. God, how he wanted this man. Vin saw the desire flare in the emerald green eyes and his breath coming out in short pants. Ezra couldn't contain his passion for the beautiful, long haired Texan any longer. Ezra just hoped he wasn't reading Vin wrong.

Ezra was kneeling in front of Vin on the couch, between his legs. Vin held his breath, he closed his eyes when he felt Ezra's hands sliding up his thighs. Slowly the caresses moved up to his inner thighs, as Ezra neared his hardening cock, he opened his eyes to gaze down at the southerner. Ezra looked up into the most amazing indigo, lust filled eyes. He raised up 'til he was a hair's breath from the full sweet lips of his heart's desire, as his hands went up the legs of Vin's shorts. He paused for a brief second, giving Vin a chance to pull away. Then he gently pressed his lips to his soon to be lover's.

Ezra traced the luscious lower lip with his tongue asking for permission, nipping it before he entered. Both moaned in ecstasy as their tongue's glided over each other. The kiss became white hot in its intensity, as Ezra reached into Vin's shorts, taking hold of Vin's hot and extremely hard manhood. He pumped it slowly to the same rhythm as he sucked Vin's tongue. Vin growled deep in his throat and broke the kiss, yelling Ezra's name as he came in his hand.

Vin laid his head on Ezra's shoulder trying to catch his breath. Ezra held his Texan as his breathing slowed down. Ezra hoped that he could keep his love for this special man, hidden. He didn't want to lose Vin because he found out that he was in love with him.

Ezra's thoughts were cut short as he was attacked by a growling and aggressive sharpshooter. Vin's hands were all over him. He was so lost in the sensations, he never realized that his clothes had been removed until he felt the warm, wet heat of Vin's mouth on his aching cock. Vin swirled his tongue around the purple head, then taking all of it and sucking hard. Ezra was moaning incoherently and thrashing his head back and forth, rolling the tight balls in his hand. Ezra whimpered when the talented mouth left him still aching and slowly nipped, kissed, and licked his way up to his nipple. He grazed the nub, then smoothed it with a lick. He then repeated this action on its mate.

Vin raised his head to look into his gambler's green eyes and his soft drawl husky with desire, "Ez, make love to me. I want to feel ya inside of me, now." Ezra moaned, as Vin took a tube out of his pocket and handed it to him. Ezra got even harder than he thought possible, as he watched Vin slowly push the shorts over his firm ass. Vin then pulled the southerner up into a fierce passionate embrace, then took his conman's mouth exploring every inch of it, as they made their way to the bedroom. Vin released him only when air became necessary. Vin bent over the bed, giving the undercover agent full access to him. Ezra ran a loving hand over the beautiful body in front of him. Vin hissed as Ezra inserted his slick covered finger, then another. When Ezra inserted the third finger, Vin growled, "Now, Ez, I can't wait. Please?" Ezra responded to the plea and removed his fingers and replaced it with his hard silky length.

Vin thought he was going insane with the wonderful feel of Ezra filling him. He whimpered as Ezra pulled out and then slowly pushed back in. Ezra kept the strokes long and deep, finding the prostate in each stroke. He was thrilled that Vin was such a vocal and aggressive lover. The growls and whimpers Vin was making was causing him to lose his control and he wanted to feel Vin deep in him, so he pushed Vin's hands away from his reawakened cock, "No, I want you inside me. I want to feel you slid in me, see your face as you take me for the first time." Vin moaned at the erotic image this created. He clenched his muscles around the hard cock that was buried deep in him. Ezra called Vin's name as he came deep inside the man he now knew was meant to be his soulmate.

Ezra reluctantly pulled out and laid down pulling Vin on top of him. They met in a slow sensuous kiss. Vin turned Ezra onto his side and spooned up behind him, burying his face in the conman's neck as he ran his hands up down his gamblers side and playing and teasing his nipples to hard nubs. He trailed his hand down his crack, parting the cheeks, finding Ezra's secret spot. He felt Ezra shudder as he slowly prepared him. Vin turned his lover over and put his legs over his shoulders. Blue eyes never breaking contact with green as he entered his lover. Both were lost in the sensation of entering the other half of their soul. Vin was trying to make it last, but Ezra's erotic description and actually doing it sent him over the edge. He called Ezra's name as he came and collapsed on him, he smiled as he felt the arms come around him and pulled him closer. The two lovers held each other tight, as they were coming down from the intense lovemaking.

Vin raised up on his elbow and looked into the unguarded emerald depths, he could see all the love shining in them, "God, Ez, I thought you would never come to me." He smiled at the elegantly raised eyebrow, and caressed the smooth face. In his soft Texas drawl he explained, "I've know how you felt about me, for a while," his smile softened even further at the shocked expression on his beloved's face, he let all the love he felt for the gambler show, "Ez, you can't hide everything behind your poker face, all the time. I wanted you so bad most of the time, I had to fight myself from throwing you on your desk and taking you, right there. I knew you had to make the first move or you would never trust me with your heart or your feelin's. I thought you would never take the hint. I have tried everything but throwing myself at you and I was practically doing that." Vin stopped waiting to see what Ezra had to say.

"Good Lord, every time I saw you in that towel I want to attack you. Do you know how many cold showers I had to take." Ezra looked into the deep blue eyes of his Heart, "Vin Tanner I love with all my heart and soul. I want you to share my life, forever." He had tears in his eyes as he waited for Vin's response.

Vin saw the fear in his eyes, he took the man's face in his hands, "I love you Ezra Standish. I have waited to hear those words from you forever, you're my mate, my life, my very spirit. You're mine and I'm yours till the end of time." He then took his Mate in a soul searing kiss that left no doubt as to his words being true or not. The two lovers fell asleep in each others arms.
