ds_flashfictionThanks to New Jersey Transit for providing the 24-minute ride back from NYC tonight during which this was written. 274 words.
***
The first time Ray saw them making love, it was by accident.
It was 2:00 a.m.
They were in Ray's apartment.
They were both so quiet - the rhythmic ebb and flow of their two bodies moving in waves, breaking so silently on still-new shores - that Ray could have sworn they made no sound at all.
He shouldn't have been able to see what he saw.
But that night a door that was usually shut had been left open, and when Fraser pushed himself up to his knees, the glow from the streetlight outside the window reflecting off his pale, damp skin at the very moment Ray opened his eyes . . . Ray could see.
He couldn't take his eyes off Fraser.
Couldn't still the rapid beating of his heart as he watched the play of muscles beneath the skin of Fraser's shoulders, his ass, his thighs. Couldn't keep from drawing his own short, sharp breath as he watched Fraser open his mouth and gasp silently. Couldn't stop staring as that strangely familiar hand slipped around Fraser's chest and slid down to his cock.
He couldn't take his eyes off them.
He didn't take his eyes off them . . . not until they had both collapsed - sweaty, sticky, tangled in bedclothes and in each other's arms - and shut their eyes.
***
The first time Fraser watched them making love was when he very deliberately got out of the bed - out of Ray's bed - and opened the closet door just enough so that the mirror stuck to its back would reflect the scene on the bed as it had done for Ray the other night.
This time, they would both watch.

Date: 2003-04-19 06:14 am (UTC)Oh sure...now I suppose you're going to tell me her Miss Marple novel "Moving Finger" wasn't about sex either! *g*

Date: 2003-04-18 10:04 pm (UTC)And hot!
And a very kinky Fraser!

I can't believe you did something so sensual in less than 300 words.
Re: Ooooh!
Date: 2003-04-19 10:28 am (UTC)Thanks, hon. I can't believe I wrote *anything* with a drunken reveler falling onto my arm every time the bus turned *g*

Re: *drool*
Date: 2003-04-19 01:27 pm (UTC)Heh. It looks like I've just reinvented the Ray=instinct/Fraser=logic&planning divide *g*
Glad you liked it.

Date: 2003-04-20 02:22 am (UTC)Not to mention the "moving in waves" image, which is SO beautiful and erotic!
:::sigh::: Mmmmmm.

Mounties do it Royally
Mounties do it (while maintaining the) right
Mounties do it in spurs
Mounties do it...in Canada. *G*
Mounties do it with their boots on

(Do you think we're going to need to go into t-shirt production so we'll have somewhere to put all these slogans everyone's coming up with? *g*)
