RATED NC17
Ray stood among the crowd of people waiting for the arriving passengers, shifting nervously from foot to foot; nearly dancing in his impatience. Benny was finally arriving back home after five seemingly endless days. And as if their separation hadn't been long enough, Benny's flight had been delayed for over an hour and a half.
But about ten minutes ago the announcement had been made that the flight had finally landed, and everyone was staring eagerly at the door to the walkway, waiting for it to open. Finally, the door did open, and the first passengers started streaming through.
Ray searched the crowd, looking for Ben. When Fraser did walk into the terminal, Ray didn't notice him for a second. He had been looking for red serge, and Benny was wearing his brown uniform.
But then Ray caught sight of his lover, and his heart started pounding. All of a sudden he wondered if it had been such a good idea for him to pick Benny up at the airport. Maybe Ben should have taken a cab instead. All Ray wanted to do right now was run over to Benny, throw his arms around him and kiss him senseless.
Benny scanned the faces in the crowd, and when he saw Ray, his eyes lit up and a huge smile spread over his face. Ray crossed over to Ben and gave him a hug. A "one good friend giving another good friend just home from a trip a friendly greeting" hug. And if the hug lasted just a moment or two too long, everyone around them was too busy with their own reunions to really notice.
"Welcome home, Benny. How was your flight?"
"It was fine, Ray."
"Good. And the seminar?"
"It was quite informative."
"Great." Ray pointed at Benny's backpack. "That's the only luggage you have, right?"
"Yes."
"Good. Let's get out of here."
"Good idea."
The two men walked very rapidly through the terminal and out to the parking garage.
The drive back to the house was completed in total silence; the electricity and tension in the air palpable.
Benny wanted to move closer to Ray,to rest his hand on his leg or his shoulder. But he was afraid that once he touched Ray, he wouldn't be able to stop; and he very much wanted them to make it home safe and in one piece.
Ray, for his part, had his hands clenched firmly around the steering wheel; and he was staring straight out the window, paying much more attention to his driving than he usually did.
Finally they made it back to the house, and Ray for once parked the Riv in the unprotected driveway. As Ray slid the key into the lock of the front door, Ben spoke for the first time since they had left the airport. "Dief?"
"Willie's."
"Excellent."
The door was finally opened- Ray seemed to have trouble, fumbling with both the lock and the doorknob- and the two men stumbled through it. Once inside, Ray whirled around and slammed the door closed, then pressed Benny up against the door and leaned into him for a kiss.
Benny's backpack fell to the floor with a soft thump, and Ben wrapped his arms around Ray, grabbing his ass and pulling him even closer. Ray pressed his entire body up against Benny's, pinning him to the door, and Benny uttered a wild, helpless moan.
Somehow working his hands between their bodies, Ray grasped the lapels of Ben's jacket and pulled it open, then slid the jacket down Benny's arms and let it fall to the floor. Ray then went to work on Benny's necktie, and he was vaguely aware of Benny's hands fumbling with his clothes.
Ray broke the kiss, breathing heavily. "Bedroom," he gasped, and the two men all but ran into the bedroom, tearing off clothes and dropping them behind them as they went. By the time they made it over to the bed, Ray was wearing nothing but his boxer shorts.
Benny, however, was still in his pants and boots. He bent over and began unlacing his right boot while Ray knelt down in front of him and got to work on the left one. The boots were quickly unlaced and Benny pulled them off and tossed them aside.
Ray reached up and pulled down Benny's pants and underwear with one quick yank, and Benny stepped out of them and kicked them aside as well. He then pulled Ray to his feet and removed Ray's boxers in much the same way that his own pants had been removed by Ray.
Benny tossed all the pillows off the bed with one swipe of his arm and then pulled back the bedspread. He started to pull down the sheets and blankets, but Ray let out a growl and shoved Benny to the bed, then lay down on top of him.
Benny's lips were taken in another near-brutal kiss, and he moaned in delight and opened his mouth, letting Ray's tongue inside to taste and explore thoroughly. Wrapping his arms around Ray's waist, Benny rolled them over so that he was lying on top of Ray.
Benny broke the kiss and lay smiling down at Ray, then he took that beautiful, much-missed face between his hands and covered it with a series of kisses. He found his way back to Ray's mouth and eagerly covered it with his own, while letting his tongue slip inside, getting re-acquainted with that feature that he loved so well.
Suddenly the world whirled around him and Ray was on top of him again, thrusting his hips urgently against Benny, rubbing their rock-hard cocks together. Benny cried out and broke the kiss, burying his face into Ray's shoulder.
He slid his hands down to Ray's ass, grabbing him and trying to pull him even closer. He continued rubbing and thrusting against Ray, his moans and gasps and cries mixing with Ray's and making a beautiful cacophony of sound.
Far, far too soon Benny felt the familiar tightening in his groin, and he came, emptying himself against Ray with a noise that was very much like a scream. A few seconds later Ray gave a harsh, loud cry of his own, and Benny felt the warmth of his lover's seed hit his body.
Ray collapsed limply on top of him, and the two men lay still for a long time, waiting for the world to fall into place around them again. Finally Ray rolled off of Benny to lay next to him. Ben made a small noise of protest and Ray smiled and pulled Benny into his arms, resting Benny's head on his shoulder.
The two men lay silently for a few minutes, gently stroking and caressing each other. Finally, Ray spoke. "Welcome home, Benny."
Benny laughed softly. "It's good to be home."
Ray smiled and kissed Benny on top of the head. "So Benny, how was the seminar?"
"It was actually quite good, Ray. I took several interesting workshops. And it was nice to be among so many other members of the RCMP."
"Yeah, I bet a bunch of Mounties can really tear up the town."
"You'd be surprised."
"Really?" Ray arched an eyebrow and pulled back to look into Ben's face.
Benny smiled. "Many of the attendees did go out exploring the city at night, but I didn't join them. I spent my nights in my room, talking to you on the phone. I'm afraid that my long distance bill was nearly as high as many of their bar tabs."
Ray laughed. "But it was worth it."
"Oh, absolutely." Benny broke off with a yawn.
"You tired, baby?"
"Mmmmmmm," Benny said, snuggling closer.
"Yeah? Do you have jet lag?" Ray asked in a teasing tone of voice.
Benny lifted his head from Ray's shoulder and regarded him with solemn blue eyes. "I don't believe so, Ray. I really don't get jet lag."
Ray laughed quietly. As usual, Benny had treated a joking question of his with total seriousness. God, he had missed him!
"I think I know what the problem was," Benny said, resting his head on Ray's body again. "It was the bed in my hotel room. You know how you used to complain about my bed in my old apartment?"
"That does ring a bell."
"Well, this bed made that mattress look positively soft and downy by comparison."
"Really?" Ray grinned, surprised to hear his lover voice any sort of complaint. "Poor Benny."
"That wasn't the worst of it, though. The bed was rather large, and it felt very empty. I felt very much alone, and that made it hard to sleep."
"Yeah, I was having the same problem here."
"Really? Well, it seems to me that there is only one solution to our mutual problem, Ray."
"Yeah. We don't leave each other again. If one of us has to go out of town for some reason, the other will tag along. We'll make it like a little vacation. Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but it's hell on the other organs."
Benny laughed, and the two men lapsed into silence. Ray began running his hand gently up and down Benny's back.
"If you keep that up Ray, I'm going to fall asleep."
"That's the point, Benny."
"Ah. In that case..." Benny wrapped his arms around Ray's waist and settled more comfortably against him; and within ten minutes he was sound asleep.
Ray was tired also, but he didn't feel like sleeping. He would much rather lie there awake, listening to Benny's quiet breathing and feeling him in his arms. So Ray lay there, smiling happily, occasionally running his fingers lightly up and down Benny's arm or running a hand through his hair.
About an hour had passed when Ray was pulled from his reverie by the sound of the doorbell. With a quiet curse he gently disentangled himself from Benny's embrace and slipped out of bed. Hastily pulling on his jeans, he hurried to the front door before the bell could sound again.
Ray opened the door and saw Willie and Diefenbaker standing on the porch. He glanced at his watch in surprise. He hadn't realized that much time had gone by. "Hey Dief, welcome home. Thanks for taking care of him, Willie."
"No problem, man."
Diefenbaker walked into the house. About halfway into the living room he froze, his head snapping up. With a sudden bust of joyous barking, he headed into the bedroom at a full run.
"No, Dief," Ray called after him. "You'll wake up..." he trailed off with a sigh as the wolf disappeared around the corner.
"Good luck," Willie grinned.
"Yeah, thanks a lot." Ray closed and locked the door behind Willie, then headed towards the bedroom. He stood in the bedroom door, watching the scene in front of him.
Benny was sitting up against the headboard, the bedspread pulled up to his waist. Dief was standing over him, a paw on each of Ben's shoulders. He was licking Benny's face, his tail wagging furiously. Ben was laughing, and he pushed Dief gently away. "All right, all right! Yes, I missed you too."
Dief licked his face again, and Benny hugged his wolf, burying his face against Dief's neck. Benny sat up again and began scratching Dief behind the ears. "So, did you behave yourself while I was away?"
Diefenbaker whined, and Ben smiled. "Good. Thank you. And you took care of Ray as I asked you to, didn't you?"
A short bark.
"Very good. And it appears that Ray took very good care of you as well." Dief growled happily and sat down on Benny's legs, his tail continuing its rapid beat.
A smiling Ray crossed the room to join his family.
