*~*~*~*~*

Charles Xavier stirred from his sleep only to discover that he was alone in the king-sized hotel bed he shared with his old friend this night. For a split second Charles believed Erik had left, but a quick, telepathic scan over their suite proved that he was mistaken. Charles’ eyes slid back shut and his lips curved in a contented smile. Of course Erik had not left. They met so rarely nowadays that every second spent together was treasured. His lover would be back soon, and Charles would again fehe whe warmth of his body against his own.

It was past midnight. Charles felt drowsy, but he didn’t want to fall back to sleep before Erik returned to bed. The wine they had drunk earlier made his head feel pleasantly light, and when he closed his eyes it almost felt like he could float away. Did Erik feel the same way? He had always been the one with a low alcohol tolerance, and yet he drank more than Charles.

Just when Charles thought he’d go back to sleep, he heard soft, padding footsteps approaching the bed. Erik obviously believed his old friend to be asleep, and took care not to disturb him. Charles couldn’t help smiling into his pillow. He opened his eyes half-way and regarded the approaching figure from under his eyelashes.

Erik was naked, save for a pair of slippers he had on his feet. Erik, clothed or unclothed, was always a lovely sight. His body was still slim and well-toned despite that he would turn 70 next year, and his silver mane of hair, now unruly, always glowed in the faint light that managed to find its way in through the curtains. Suddenly Charles felt an overwhelming urge to feel Erik’s slim, pale thighs wrapped around his waist, and tangling his hands in Erik’s soft beautiful hair. It might take a while before he had another chance.

There was a light bump when Erik crawled back into bed, and Charles sighed in pleasure when Erik’s arm closed around his waist and the heat of his solid body spooned around hick. ck.

“Hmmm…” he murmured and felt a familiar stirring in his loins. It had not been *that* long, and he was already up for another round! Only Erik could cause this kind of behaviour in him.

“Go back to sleep…” Erik whispered to him, mouth close to his ear.

“I am not asleep,” Charles replied. “I was waiting for you to come back.”

“Were you now? What woke you up?”

“The bed felt cold and empty without you. Where did you go…? It is past midnight…”

“Past two, actually,” Erik informed him. “Really, I just needed some fresh air and a glass of water. They have a really wonderful balcony. You should check it out.”

Charles didn’t know if he should be amused or shocked. “You went there naked?” he asked in wonder.

Erik chuckled in reply. “Oh, come on! I doubt anyone saw me. It is night, after all, and the night air felt so good against my skin. If you’d like, I could take you there, and you can find out for yourself.”

“No, thank you. I think I want to stay here, and you are going to stay here with me,” Charles murmured and put his hand atop Erik’s under the covers.

“Yes, I am, Charles. Don’t w.”
.”

Erik’s hand slid lower, and it didn’t take him long to discover Charles’ growing arousal. He teasingly squeezed his prize, drawing a blissful moan from the telepath.

“I pity all those who make the mistake in believing *everything* below your waist is dead!” he said, chuckling softly. “This piece certainly isn’t. I thought I spent you some hours ago, but it seems like I was wrong!”

“Erik, please…” Charles gasped, his penis throbbing with need.

“Please, what?”

“If you care about me, you will help me take care of it.”

“So indeed. Don’t I always?”

Charles could now feel Erik’s own arousal pressing against the small of his back. He snickered into his pillow. “It seems like the night air revived you wonderfully, old friend. You don’t exactly seem unwilling!”

“Who said I was that?” obj objected. “But in either case, you are not going to let me sleep before I fix it, will you?”

“I could always fill your head with images that will make you want me more.”

“It won’t come to that, I hope. The real you can usually do the trick.”

Erik suddenly bounced up and flipped Charles onto his back with surprising strength and agility, and then straddled his belly. Charles began to pass his hands over Erik’s lean, sinewy body, starting with his thighs, but Erik’s captured them before they could go any further.

“Not so fast, Charles,” Erik said. “I am the one in control here. So keep your hands to yourself for yet another while.”

Erik ran his own hands over Charles’ chest, delighted in finding the telepath’s nipples being hard little pebbles. He took one small, light-brown bud between his thumb and index finger, and squeezed it until Charles yelped in something that could best be described as a mixture of pain and pleasure. His own arousal was getting painful as well, and he moved his hands to stroke it, making Charles smile at the erotic sight. He smiled back down at his lover, and moved a few inches downward, so Charles’ erection slid in between his buttocks.

“Well, well,” he said. “I sure think you would like to get inside me this time. Am I right in assuming this, or is lit little friend doing the thinking for you?”

“I…I would very much like that,” Charles said, trying hard to make his voice sound steady. He was still slightly sore from their coupling earlier in the evening, when Erik had taken him, so that was probably the best solution. Not that Erik was ever rough, but sometimes he was just… a bit too eager?

“Alright,” Erik said. “I want it, too.”

He picked up the small bottle of lubricant from the bedside table, and used the transparent cream to slick Charles’ erection, and his own opening. He was rarely the receiving end, and the first entry of his fingers actually hurt a bit, but he trusted he could do it without causing himself pain. This was Charles, after all; the man he trustore ore than anyone. Besides, he would physically be on top despite being penetrated.

“Okay…ready?” he asked seriously, png tng the head of Charles’ erection at his anus.

Charles nodded breathlessly.

“Try to keep your cries down,” Erik advised him, knowing Charles tended to be a vocal lover. “It is past two, and we are not alone here.”

Slowly Erik sat down on the shaft, his eyes closed and his mouth half-way open. He felt momentary pain, but that faded when his body had adjusted to the feeling of being filled so completely. When his body had accepted the invasion, he began to move.

Charles let Erik run the show this time as well. He was generally passive in bed, and just because his cock was inside Erik this time, it did not change his basic nature. Erik was rocking his hips, up and down, back and forth, left to right… His countenance was serious, but Charles could see the smile in his eyes whenever their gazes met. After some time he seized Erik’s hands, that lay flat against his chest, and entwined their fingers. Erik’s hands were incredibly beautiful; long and slender, yet strong and capable. Those were the hands of a great artist and a skilled craftsman. Charles brought one of them to his lips and kissed Erik’s palm. One finger slid inside his mouth, and he suckled it, as eagerly as an infant would suck milk from its mother’s breast.

Their quiet, panatenate lovemaking lasted for yet a few minutes, and a flex of Erik’s internal muscles finally sent Charles over the peak, and he climaxed, filling his lover’s dark insides with heed.eed.

Erik collapsed on Charles’ chest, his body covered by a thin coat of perspiration. He could hear the solid pumping of Charles’ heart strongly through his chest, and the sound, rhythmic as it was, soothed him. The telepath ran his fingers through his old friend’s uncontrolled mane of silver hair, and planted a kiss on the top of his head.

“Erik, that won wonderful…” he whispered. “I am so glad I woke up!”

Erik, regaining some of his lost strength, propped himself up on his elbows, and grinned down at Charles. “Yes, I can see why,” he said.

With a languid motion he slid off Charles and rolled onto his back. His breathing was still heavy and he was waiting for his pulse to go back to normal. Despite his youthful carriage, Erik was – too quickly, it seemed – approaching his 70th year, and sex was a strain on his body. He knew the time would come, when he’d no longer be able to go through with the act, but he hoped that day was still far away.

A quick glance at the wall clock told him it was now past three. A few more hours, and he would be forced to part from Charles. It was always like this. Whenever they met, there never seemed to be enough time. A few hours in a hotel room, thank you, and goodbye.

“I know,” Charles said quietly and pulled Erik’s hand to his cheek. “I know we don’t have enough time, so let’s not waste what we have.”

Erik smiled in reply. “Right now, I think sleep woulrve rve us right.”

“Yes, I think so too. I still can’t believe you went out on the balcony naked, though…”

“Oh, shut up!” Erik laughed. “I think I have done worse in my days!”

“Never mind. Now come here. I want to sleep with you next to me,” Charles said, pulling Erik’s arm over his waist once more.

Just a few hours, and they would be perhaps a hundred miles from each other. Again…

The End
