Disclaimers: Chris, Vin and Ezra are not mine. I make no claims as such. Just borrowing for a bit.

Two of Seven: A Time for Us by Reets

Chris watched as Vin lead his horse to the Livery. He waited a few minutes for his friend to emerge. He grew impatient and made his way through the door. The stable was huge, horses neighed quietly and chomped hay as he walked by. In the next to the last stall Vin stood quietly, crouched low and spung up to grab Chris by the throat as he approached. Chris allowed himself to be grabbed, even followed the younger man down into the stall it self. Vin's horse glanced over it's shoulder and blew threw it's nose. As if to scoff at the pair.

"What are you doing, trying to get yourself shot?"

Chris smiled and pinned Vin's arm down at his sides. "No, looking for you." He leaned over and kissed his friend hard on the lips. "I know you're happy to see me, but you want to put away that gun."

"That's not my gun." Chris' smile sent shivers down his spine and Vin rubbed what he could of the other man's body with his trapped arms.

"You're a terrible, terrible tease."

"No, I ain't. I'm very good at it."

Chris laughed and backed off, allowing him to sit up. They both moved quicky as Vin's horse rose it's tail and began relieving it self. "That's the thing about stables, too many animals." Vin was suddenly thankful that the stall walls were so high, in the next instant he was pushed against it and kissed roughly.

"Let me be an animal tonight. Come to my room, please."

It had been weeks since they had been together. Both afraid of anyone finding out their little 'secret'. "I thought you wanted to lie low for a while."

"I do, but I want to lie there with you."

The blonde head tilted and his lips met Vin's gently, arousing desire and passion within the sharp shooter. His tongue traced the thin lips, while his hands gripped the firm buttocks, caressing them through the fabric.

His hardness rubbed against his reluctant lover's and he began a rough rhythm, one that had the man before him breathless in a matter of moments. Before he lost total control he stopped and took a step back, bumping into Vin's horse. It stepped aside accomidating him a moment, before it pushed him out of the stall with it's head. He stuck his head around the corner, watching Vin try and recover his breathing and balance. "Tonight, my room."

Vin nodded weakly and licked his lips. Chris's mouth tasted of salty meat and tobacco, sweet tobacco and something more familiar. The taste of whiskey. That was what he wanted right now, at least as soon as his manhood relaxed enough for him to walk without a limp.

"Oh, man." He pulled his horse back toward the middle of the stall and removed it's bridle. "Nite."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vin paid for a hot tub of water and scrubbed his dirty skin until the water was muddy. He toweled off quicky and put on a clean shirt and pants. He went to the saloon and bought himself a drink, meeting Ezra there.

"Have a date?"

Vin's eyes grew wide as he slipped onto the stood beside the gambler. "What makes you say that?"

Ezra leaned close and sniffed, "Well, you smell good and you look fine, long hair certinly suits you." Feeling adventurous Ezra reached out and fingered the wet curls that hung on Vin's shoudlers.

"Yeah, well. I just had a bath, nothing wrong with a fella getting clean is there?" Vin nodded as the bartender sat a glass on the bartop. Ezra poured him a glass of whiskey from his bottle. "Just trying to be more like you."

"Touche'." Ezra clanked his glass to Vin's. "Enjoy."

"Ezra, I get the feeling I'll never know what makes you tick." He downed the drink and slammed the glass back down. Ezra poured him another and he drank it as well.

"Is it so important?"

"What?"

"Knowing what makes me, 'tick'?" Ezra poured them both another drink and studied Vin for a moment. He had noticed the looks that he and Chris had exchanged and had held his tongue. Chris had all but avoided Vin lately and Ezra was itching to learn why.

"I don't know, you've just got a strange way about you." Vin met his eyes, the soft blues sparked and smiled at him. Too much drink? Or something more sinister?

"I don't tend to think of myself as strange, you're just not use to a gentleman, that's all."

"Right," Vin swallowed the large glass of liquor and tossed a few coins on the bar. "Later."

Ezra followed him up the stairs and knocked softly on his door. When it opened and Vin stepped back and the gambler stepped inside. "Was there something you wanted, Ezra?" Vin ran a comb through his hair, catching the droplets of water with a small cloth.

"I don't know," He stepped close to Vin now and reached out a hand. The other man didn't flinch, just smiled and stepped away. He watched him put down the comb and shake his longish hair. "Well, maybe," Vin met his eyes and he grew more nervous. "It's not or never."

"What?" Vin wasn't sure what was going on with the man, but he grew more curious with each step. As soon as Ezra's lips met his he stepped into it. Or so he thought, instead his body was propelled back and the smell of cologne filled his nostrals. The soft lips kissed his over and over again, almost timidly before the tongue darted out to trace his own. His mouth opened and allowed it entrance and he was swallowed, devoured and possessed. It wasn't a harsh need like Chris, it was more an asking permission, shyly courting his mouth into submission, a kiss that left him wanting more.

When Ezra stepped back, they both took a deep breath. "Did we just do that?"

Ezra eyes darted to the floor, to him then finally to the door, he took a step toward it, but a hand reached out and took a firm hold on his vest. "Vin, I don't know what to say... I ahh."

"Don't say anything."

Ezra stepped close again and both hands gripped the freshly shaven face and drew it close, kissing him throughly. He took his time, not wanting to frighten Vin. Not sure of how much or little he had done with Chris, so when Vin's hands found his waist and drew him close, he moaned into the mouth under his and pressed his body closer, feeling the need rising in both of them. After a few long moments, Ezra steps back, licking his lips. The man before him was shaking, with desire and need, as his own body shook. But he knew he had to slow down, had to ask the questions. He cleared his throat and grew more nervous as the questions filtered through his brain all in a jumbled mass. "Vin, I ahh..."

"Ezra, I have to be somewhere."

"What?"

"Someone's expecting me, I have to go." Vin could see the hurt in Ezra's face and he truly hated it. But Chris was insistant and he wouldn't wait. If Vin didn't show up, he'd send out a search party and soon. "I'm sorry, I enjoyed this, but there's someone else."

"Larabee, right?" Ezra knew he had touched a cord as Vin's beautiful eyes darted to the floor. "Does he hurt you?"

"No, no, he gets a little rough sometimes, but no he doesn't hurt me."

"So," Ezra straightened his suit and brushed off his coat. "You've given yourself to him?" A slight nod and Ezra clears his throat again. "Well, my loss, excuse me." He froze as Vin grabs his arm and pulls him back.

"Chris needs me, not so much now that he has Ms. Travis, but..."

"You've become a convenience Mr. Tanner and when he tosses you aside, come to me," He caressed Vin's cheek and the younger man leaned into the touch. "I won't." His lips touched Vin's but only for a moment. "Another time then."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vin made his way to Chris's room and knocked softly. Several minutes later the door was jerked open and Chris pulled him inside. "Where have you been?"

"What?"

"I've been waiting for hours." Vin tried to relinquish the hold that Chris had, but the older man was determined. His hands roamed over Vin's body, groping and caressing. "I want you, now."

"Did you get the oil?" Vin tried to relax into the caresses, but his mind kept seeing Ezra, feeling his soft gentlness compared to this primal need. Chris removed his shirt and nipped at the taunt nipples making Vin moan and writher at his touch. He grabbed at the walls as nimble fingers opened his pants and Chris decended on his cock, engulfing it quickly. He gripped the blonde head as a slick finger probbed his opening, poking inside without much help. His whimpers were not totally lost on the man before him. Chris pulled away and stood up, locking his mouth to Vin's for quick, bruising kisses.

"Don't you want me Vin?" Chris whispered in his ear, ending it with a nip to the neck.

Vin did want him, wanted his power, his strength, his unbridled lust that he alone had set free in the loner. "Yes, Chris I want you." He was turned around and Chris was pressing against him in the next heartbeat. Fussing as he pushed his own clothes off. His harness nestled between Vin's ass cheeks and Chris began a rhythm, sliding up and down Vin's ass until his breath came in labored pants.

Vin wanted more, wanted Chris inside him, but it wasn't to be tonight. Chris groaned and clutched at his sides, kissing and bitting his neck.

"Yes, now." Chris stiffened and the warm squirts of liquid heated Vin's back, he rested his forehead against Vin's back and took a deep breath. He pulled the younger man around and kissed his lips.

"What was that?"

"I couldn't wait, I needed you."

"You could have done that yourself. I wanted you inside me, Chris." Vin pushed him back and fixed his pants. He grabbed a cloth from the wash basin and wiped his back, dropping it at Chris's feet. "Other people have needs too."

"So come here, I'll take care of your needs." Chris sighed as Vin put on his shirt and tucked it in. "Wait a minute." Chris grabbed him and pushed him down on the bed. "Why is it so important that we do, 'that' everytime?"

"It's not everytime Chris, it's just tonight, I wanted it. I get so little these days as it is..."

"What are you talking bout?"

"Seems Ms.Travis has your intrest most of the time."

Chris smiled. "You're jealous." Vin pushed him back and headed for the door. "You know Vin, if you started seeing someone, I'd be okay with it. I mean it's what's suppose to happen, you know."

Vin stopped and thought about Chris' statement for a long minute. "You mean if I wanted to start seeing someone, you wouldn't care?"

"Course not."

"Good," Vin smiled a little and headed out the door. "See ya around."

"Vin?" Chris laid back on the bed, his cock had stired again and was poking through his pants. "Traitor." He stroked the slick member for long minutes, thinking of Vin the entire time. Mary flickered through his mind, but it was the vision of Vin pressing back against him that sent him over. "That was for you, pard."

*** Ezra finished the chaper in his book before getting up to answer the door. "Who is it, at this unGodly hour?"

"Vin."

Ezra smiled and pulled open the door. "Well, well, what brings you here?"

"I wanted to talk." Ezra took his hand and lead him into the room.

"I thought you had pressing business?" Vin closed his eyes as Ezra's hands touched his shoulders from behind, urging him forward a few steps. "Mr. Larabee become unavailable suddenly?"

"We have different view sometimes and tonight was one of them?"

Ezra fingers kept contact with his body, stroking, caressing, teasing and torturing. Vin wanted to make love. His manhood was hard and weepy and pressed uncomfortably against the confines of his pants. He studied the gambler for a moment. His hair was a little mussed and hung in a curl on his forehead, making him look more handsome than before. His eyes smiled before his face ever revealed its happiness.

"Did you make love?" The man before him trembled and Ezra allowed his eyes to fall to the young man's crotch. "Guess not." He raked his fingers over the bulge and Vin hissed and stepped back. "Problems in paradise?"

"He's seeing Ms.Travis and told me I should see someone too."

"I'm sure he didn't mean me."

"I'm sure he didn't either, but it's what I wanted." Vin met Ezra's eyes and the gambler grinned. "Do you?"

"What's that?"

"Want me?"

Ezra smiled and pulled Vin into a hug. "I don't like being used, Mr.Tanner." Vin pulled back and shook his head. "If it hadn't been for your responses earlier, I would toss you out of here. I'll allow you to stay, but on my terms."

Vin swallowed, his mouth suddenly going dry. "What terms?

"First, if we begin sleeping togther, you can't go back to Mr. Larabee. I don't like to share."

"Second?"

"Second, well that's an easy one. One I'm sure you'll take to quickly." Ezra watched Vin grow more nervous. "I like everything Mr. Tanner, and new experiences are a part of life. I've learned a lot in my travels and I want to be able to share them with you. Some things might come across a little strange at first, but you must be willing to try them. Agreed?"

"I suppose."

"Good." It was a whisper at Vin's ear and it had it's desired affect. the younger man swayed a little. "I think it's time you lie down Mr.Tanner, you seem weak." Ezra watced as his new lover climbed onto the large bed and stretched out. He wanted to engulf him immediately but he held back. He urged Vin to his back and began tugging the shirt over his head. He slipped the boots off and caught Vin's eyes as his fingers unbutton his pants and tugged them down the slender hips. "I believe you have a problem Mr. Tanner and I think we should take care of it now."

Vin watched Ezra retrieve a small vile from his dresser and open it. He filled his palm with liquid and placed the vile on the bed beside Vin. Then he rubbed his palms together quickly. When his hand clasped Vin's manhood he cried out. The tight, hot fist pumped and pumped until he exploded, coating his stomach and chest. The fist worked quicky, expelling every ounce until he fell back, breathless. The darkness overcame him and he surrendered.

When he blinked his eyes open again, Ezra was standing beside the bed, unbuttoning his white shirt. The firm pecs and taunt stomach made his sex stir again and he groaned.

"Are you all right Mr.Tanner? You passed out."

Gentle kisses landed on his face and mouth and his desire rose. "Yeah, just a little intense, that's all."

"Looks like Mr. Larabee didn't take good care of you tonight."

"He didn't do anything that didn't benefit him."

"I'm sorry," Ezra's kisses were wet and hot and Vin turned toward him. "Wait a second, let me get undressed, if that's okay with you."

A nod and Ezra pulled back, unbuttoning his own pants and slipping them down. He folded them neatly and put them in a chair. His underware was next and Vin found himself admiring the firm behind of his friend. He had never asked Chris for that kind of recipication. He knew the man wasn't capable of it, but he thought different of Ezra. He reached out and ran his fingers down the taunt muscle as Ezra bent down to pick up a fallen garment. Vin pulled back quicky as Ezra turned to him.

"It's perfectly natural of you to want what you give Vin, I'm sure Mr. Larabee didn't allow that either." Vin shook his head and Ezra climbed onto the bed next to him. "I told you, I enjoy a great many things in bed and I like to be taken as much as I like to take."

Vin's groin ached at the prospect of being on the giving end of the bargin for a change. Then he was pressed against the mattress, his mouth covered by the warmth of another. His minded realed as a similar harness met his and rubbed against him. But it only lasted a few seconds.

"If you dont mind, I'd like to be first." Ezra urged Vin over as he agreed. He found the oil and coated his hands with it. Tall and slim and beautiful. "Did anyone ever tell you how good looking you are?"

"Not in a long while." Vin said, but it was little more than a whisper as a slick finger slipped inside his ass, so gentle, pressing in and out quickly. "Oh yeah, yeah."

"Easy Mr. Tanner, I don't want to hurt you."

"It always hurts Ezra, that's life." Ezra kissed his shoulder and then his cheek as a second finger worked inside.

"No, Vin, it doesn't have to hurt. I'll show you." He pressed deeper making Vin's head come up. "Did that hurt?"

"Nah, felt great." Vin licked his lips and looked over his shoulder. Ezra's cock was sliding between his fingers and he prepared Vin. "I haven't got to see you yet." Ezra leaned up on his knees and stroked himself, he was a little longer and wider than Chris and Vin moaned.

"I won't hurt you, I promise."

Vin whimpered as a third finger joined the first two, sinking deep, forcing his muscles to stretch. "Shouldn't I be ready now?"

"No, not yet. No pain remember." Ezra worked the fingers deep, making sure to rub across the gland that made Vin moan and growl. This man was going to be fun to be with, the fire in his belly longed to be released. and Ezra was just the man to do it. "Okay, on your back please."

"Chris always liked this position."

"I am not Mr. Larabee. Please stop making references to him."

"Sorry." Vin almost laughed as Ezra pushed his legs into the air.

"What's funny Mr. Tanner?"

"Nothing, I've just never seen you be foreceful."

"I'll not hurt you, but I will get my point across. Now, if we're done discussing. I'd like to do this." Ezra held his manhood at Vin's entrance and pressed forward, breahing the opening with ease.

Vin gasped and held his breath. His body was stretched and filled in a long push. The burning subsided quickly and he let a moan escape as he felt Ezra's ball sac, swing close to his ass cheeks. Ezra leaned down now, letting Vin's legs fall to his hips. At that level he rubbed the delicated gland with the head of his cock on each withdrawl.

"Did that hurt?" Vin shook his head and grabbed Ezra's mouth kissing him passionately as the hardness filled him and withdrew slightly. Small slow thrusts and his tongue fought for dominance. Five mintures turned into ten and Vin's stomach was coated with clear liquid as it dribbled from his engorged manhood. Ezra pulled back, breaking the kiss. "You are so beautiful, Vin. I would like for you to do something for me, please."

"Whatever you want."

Ezra pulled out and Vin winced at the loss and the cramps in his thighs. "Turn over and scoot close to the headboard." Vin did, "Now, put your hands against the headboard and spread your legs wide."

"Putting me on display Ezra or what?"

"You said you'd do as I asked." Vin nodded and did it, displayed his back and ass to Ezra, gripping the headboard.

"Walk up a little, closer, that's it."

Ezra came up behind him, his hands roaming over the smooth chest and taunt stomach. His fist gripped his manhood and squeezed the base, making the tip purple. He hissed and groaned, then was filled immediately by Ezra's cock. He came jerking into the tight fist and pressing himself back against the invader. Ezra finally released his cock and grabbed his hips. For the next fewminutes he was savage and brutal, thrusting wild and hard into Vin. To Vin's amazement he enjoyed the rough treatment and actually pushed himself into it, listening as Ezra chanted yes, yes yes, over and over again. He was pressed to the wall and if it hadn't been for the preparation Ezra would have hurt him. As it was Ezra hit a special spot inside his body and Vin's head swam as he grew hard again. "I can't, not again." Ezra screamed and buried his face in Vin's neck as he filled his insides with his essence.

"Take me Vin, now."

"What?" Vin was stunned as Ezra pulled him back and placed his own body against the wall.

"Now, Mr. Tanner."

Ezra was shaking, still stroking his slick cock. Vin touched his hips, but wasn't sure what to do. "Just put it in Vin, no questions."

Vin came up behind him, and Ezra pushed back against him. He leaned forward, following the same motions as Ezra and breeched the opening. Ezra cried out and Vin held tight to him. "I'm sorry."

"NO!" Ezra's hands gripped his hips and his ass moved back until he was impaled on Vin's cock. "Now, move Mr. Tanner, take me."

It took Vin a long time to reach his third orgasm, but Ezra didn't seem to mind. He whimpered and bucked back againt Vin. His second orgasm caused a chain reaction in their bodies. And as his interneal muscles clamped down on Vin's sensitive cock, it exploded and allowed Ezra's body to milk him of his small load. He collapsed against Ezra, trying to catch his breath. After a while he eased himself out and pulled the trembling figure down with him.

The morning sun warmed his cheek and he groaned. He opened one eye to see the back of a dark head, nestled close to him. His body was sticky and sore and he winced as he turned over. He reached down between his legs, thankful there wasn't any blood. His arm was asleep under Ezra and when he tugged it a little the other man awoke. "Sorry, arms alseep."

"It's all right, we should have had you to your room, before now." As Ezra moved away, Vin saw the blood that stained the sheets.

"You're bleeding."

"I suppose I am. But it's all right." He reached out and touched Vin's face. "Last night was very special Mr. Tanner, I hope you enjoyed it."

Vin scooted closer and captured the dark headed man's face and drew him close. The kiss was gentle and loving and they both smiled when they parted. "You should see Nathan, make sure you're all right."

"Oh yes, I can see the conversation now." Ezra sucked in a lung full of air as he rose. "Yes, I had this lovely man take me up the ass last night and I wasn't use to it. I can imagine what he'd say."

"Anything I can do?"

"Just find a way to escape before Mr. Larabee comes looking. He'll have my head, for having your ass." Vin rolled out of bed and helped Ezra to the wash basin. "Just leave me Vin, I'll be fine."

Vin kissed his cheek and hugged him ackwardly. "I'll see you at breakfast."

"Probably lunch."

Vin gathered his clothes and quietly snuck down the hall to his own room. Thankful that Chris was no where to be seen yet.
