Mitch walked into the apartment, dropped his jacket on the chair by the door and put his keys on the counter. "Hey, anybody home?" he called, as he toed off his shoes and walked into the living room.

Terr came out of the back bedroom, smiling at him. He walked up and kissed him soundly, an arm snaking around Mitch's neck. "Hey, you're off early. Where's Nick?"

"I'm still on call, and he's working all night. Thought I'd stay here," Mitch said, wrapping his arms around Terr's waist.

"Mmm. Good. That you're staying, not that Nick's working. But I'm just leaving-gotta work too. Should be back in a few hours."

Mitch frowned and let him go, watching him gather up his briefcase and coat. "Why do you have to work? Thought you had normal hours. Not fair if we all work shifts."

Terr smiled at him and gave him another quick kiss. "Don't pout. I only have to go in and straighten out a tangle of bugs in the system, it's not like I have to do this every night." Terr picked up his own keys and moved to the door. "Sorry. I'll be back as soon as I can."

Mitch nodded unhappily. He hated an empty apartment as much as an empty house. "Where's Kay?"

Terr was halfway to the door. He turned around as he walked and said, "Hockey, where else? Practice I think, not a game. He'll be back soon." Then with a smile and a wave he was gone and Mitch was alone.

He sighed and went into the bathroom, making sure that his pager was on before putting if on the counter. He turned on the water in the shower and stripped down, wishing Nick and Terr weren't at work and Kay would hurry up and get home. He figured that between the three men it was only fair and right that he didn't have to be alone. How many men did he have to be involved with to make sure that someone was always around?

He was rinsing shampoo from his hair when he heard a deep voice say "You better not be using all the hot water."

He grinned and scrubbed at his hair, getting the last of the soap out. "Hop in, Kay, not sure how much is left." He kept his voice light and friendly because it was Kay. If it had been Terr he wouldn't have had to say anything, he would have been in the shower all ready, and Nick would have being telling him in detail about the blow job he was about to get. But Kay was Kay, and he wasn't quite comfortable with himself yet. Mitch kind of thought that Kay liked being seduced. Which was fine with Mitch; he liked seducing him.

Kay stepped into the shower and Mitch greeted him with a kiss before turning him so he was under the spray. Mitch grabbed the shampoo and poured some in his hand, an eyebrow raised.

Kay smiled and turned around, tipping his head back so Mitch could wash his hair.

"How was practice?" Mitch asked, his long fingers working through Kay's auburn hair. Kay needed a hair cut, he noted absently. It was usually far too short for Mitch to actually feel the curls.

Kay sighed happily. "Good, I guess. Ran a lot of drills. Not as much fun as a game, 'course, but it was a nice workout."

He massaged Kay's scalp with the tips of his fingers, making him moan. "God, Mitch, you could make a fortune washing hair. Charge fifty bucks a scalp."

Mitch laughed. "You think?"

"Hell yeah. And I bet you could work better hours too. None of this shift work shit. RCMP can always find someone else to do your job. You have talent in your fingers. Always work to your strengths." His tone was light and teasing, and Mitch just shook his head and started rinsing the shampoo out, letting his hands follow the soap bubbles over Kay's shoulders.

He rubbed at Kay's skin, working the muscles and Kay sighed, leaning back. "Sore?"

"Not really. Just like the way your hands feel on me."

Mitch tried not let Kay know how much that statement startled him. It was the first time that he had heard Kay be so open about what he liked, and even though it was a small thing it was a start and an opening. He slid his fingers over the soapy skin some more, his fingers trailing lower until he was stroking and kneading Kay's hips and thighs, then back up to his ass. Kay moaned softly and spread his legs a bit.

Mitch slid one hand around Kay's body and cupped his balls, fingers tracing the base of his erection. He kissed and nipped at Kay's shoulder, moving close to rub his own hard on along the crease of Kay's ass.

Kay turned his head and Mitch kissed him, moving his hand up to grasp Kay's cock in a loose fist. Kay deepened the kiss, this tongue tracing Mitch's teeth and then plunging in. When Kay started to suck rhythmically at his tongue Mitch groaned and started thrusting his hips and moving his hand in time to Kay's mouth.

Mitch finally broke the kiss, feeling a little light headed. "Bed?" he whispered.

Kay shook his head and leaned forward, bracing his arms on the wall. "Here."

"Oh shit. You sure?" he asked, and he meant it. He didn't know what Kay was comfortable with yet. But even as he asked his hands were reaching for the conditioner and his slippery fingers were tracing the line of Kay's ass.

Kay grinned at him over his shoulder. "C'mon, copper. Show me what I've been missing. Nick says that your amazing in the shower."

Mitch laughed. "That's 'cause I like the water and Terr doesn't." Mitch slid a finger around Kay's entrance and dipped in a little. Shit the man was tight.

Kay made a soft needy noise and his head dropped forward. Mitch teased him again and then slid the finger in, waiting for Kay to relax. When he was able to move easily he played again, teasing with his fingers to stretch the tight muscle. Then he slowly eased three fingers in to the first knuckle.

"Oh fuck. That feels good."

"You're real tight, Kay. Tell me if it hurts and we'll take this to the bedroom."

Kay thrust back on his fingers and Mitch groaned. "Okay. I'll take your word for it. Ready for more?"

Kay rolled his shoulders. "Need you, Mitch. Please."

Mitch shuddered as his cock jumped. "God, you're going to drive me insane."

Kay just thrust back onto his fingers again and dropped a hand to his cock, starting to stroke slowly.

Mitch gasped and quickly eased his fingers out, guiding his cock to Kay's ass. "Shit Kay." Mitch wondered when he had so completely lost control of this. He had thought that he was doing the seducing, but God, Kay was going to drive him over the edge by just letting himself go, doing what felt good. Mitch loved to see Kay like this, relaxed in his skin, ready and willing to take pleasure with no evidence of guilt or shame.

Mitch entered Kay as slowly as he could. Just 'cause Kay was willing and ready didn't mean that he wasn't still practically a virgin, and Mitch had no desire at all to cause any pain. Slowly they moved together until Mitch was deep in Kay and they stopped, just enjoyed the sensation.

They kissed deeply as Mitch began to move, Kay feeding him soft sounds that made Mitch's head spin. So right. So sweet.

Mitch couldn't remember when he'd felt quite like this. The heat from the shower was starting to cool, but the water running over them was perfect, the feeling of Kay in his arms and around his cock incredible. Kay's mouth tasted sweet. Mitch ran is hands over Kay's chest, scraping at tight nipples and feeling the strong muscles of his abs jump under his hands. When he finally took Kay's erection in has hand again he found it rock hard, Kay's balls drawn up tight.

"Soon?" he murmured into the kiss.

Kay just nodded, the noises getting louder and more desperate. Mitch thrust a little faster and Kay gasped. "Oh fuck. There."

Mitch did it again, using his hand as fast and hard as his cock, knew he was as close as Kay. Kay was shuddering in his arms, hips pushing back as he fucked him, and his hands were grasping at the tile wall. Kay threw his head back and cried out just as the hot water ran out, his body clenching around Mitch.

"Oh god yeah," Mitch said through his clenched teeth, his own orgasm hitting him fast. He thrust wildly for a moment and buried himself deep, felt himself shoot into Kay's ass for what seemed an impossibly long time. He eased out and kissed Kay hard, the cold water washing them off.

Kay finally turned in his arms, and held him tightly to his chest. "Hey. Cold now. Bed?"

Mitch grinned and shivered as the cold water cold got even colder. "Yeah. Bed is a good idea. Maybe we can get warm before Terr gets home."

Kay grinned and turned off the water, then stepped out of the tub reaching for a towel. "Mitch?"

Mitch followed, grabbed another towel and started to dry his hair. "Hmm?"

Kay didn't say anything until Mitch looked at him, met his eyes.

"Was that…okay?"

Mitch stared at him for a second and then moved to him fast, pinning him to the counter. "Yeah, babe. Though 'fucking amazing' comes closer to it than 'okay'." Then he kissed him, long and deep, pressing tight against Kay's body. Kay wrapped his arms around him and lowered his hands to Mitch's ass, pulling him even closer.

Mitch moaned into the kiss as Kay lifted one of his legs and wrapped it around his hip. Then Kay lifted him, carried him like that to the bedroom. By the time they got there the kisses were full of need and desire, their bodies moving together with urgent thrusts. They sprawled on the bed like that, Mitch on top, moving fast and hard together.

"Oh fuck," Mitch said with a gasp, his cock throbbing. "Gonna come, Kay."

Kay groaned and thrust harder, driving Mitch over. In seconds Kay followed, his heat mingling with Mitch's between their bodies.

"Oh god."

They lay panting for a few minutes before Mitch rolled off him. "Kay."

Kay opened his eyes slowly.

"How long does it take for the water to get hot again?"
