Permanently Floored Written by Arachnethe2 I can't remember how it happened, only when it happened. And this moment was one of the ugliest in my life. The fight was at its end. I stood in the middle of the battle field, on that surface covered with dead bodies, my nostrils sensing the awful sweet smells of blood and dirty wounds, mixed with that of the dusk; the day, slowly settling down, revealing that after all there were still the sun and the sky. One week ago my ship heard a may-day from a planet that wasn't a member of the Federation, but had been friendly on previous contact. Suddenly they were attacked by an unknown race. Who were those strangers? Even now, after the final battle, I haven't any idea. No one has ever seen them. In all the files in the federation databases I found a notice about this unknown people. They came from nowhere, attacked the first peaceful race they found, ignoring every attempt at communication. Perhaps this was what had scared me the most. I had faced the deadly cold arrogance in their eyes, I had fought them in this final battle for four long days, but still they kept the secrets of their heritage. The last unknown warrior sliced his throat in front of me, taking all he had ever known with him to his grave. Leaving me here, wretched, exhausted, being driven insane by the sudden stillness of this place, after hours of moans, cries and the sound of weapons. Suddenly a hand, warmer than my own, was put on my shoulder. I jerked around quickly, but then I relaxed again. Spock -- clad in armour, still holding the weapon in his hand, he looked like one of his ancient ancestors. I looked into his weary eyes, trying to look through the yellow spots of blood which was not his own. At first I hadn't wanted him to come with me, to take part in this battle. But he was adamant. After an uncomfortable conversation spoken in sharp tones, he reminded me that if I insisted on using the power of command and *ordered* him to stay on board, it could only be interpreted as a personal reason put above my professional behaviour. And so I gave him my permission to go with me, because he was right. My fear for his life is indeed very personal. For the whole time he'd stayed at my side. For the whole time we fought back to back, protecting each other. I saw in his gaze those just-past hours when we'd been so aware of each other's presence, as we stood in the middle of a battlefield in the moment where time stopped and the world went still. Somehow we didn't need any words. He simply turned and I followed him willingly, feeling somehow grateful that it was me this time who didn't need to lead, only to follow. The thing was over and I allowed myself the seldom-granted luxury of not making any decisions. Only now, for a little while. And only with him. We went a half-hour or so. Passing the dead bodies, the wrecked fighting machines, the medical teams, one of the homeworld and one from the Enterprise, who were searching for survivors. For one moment I thought that I'd seen Bones. But then the view was covered by a group of medtechs carrying a crying, wounded man. I turned and headed toward Spock, whose straight back offered something like a hope of escaping this place, of getting myself restored before I had to return to my ship. We continued our walk until we reached the rocks and the small hole which had served as a sort of sanctuary to me and my team for the last few days. Now the place was empty. It seemed to me somehow ironic: long preparations, then the bloody inferno, and now a backing off. Quick, professional, almost clinically clean. I stopped in the middle of the stone room, watching the rays of the sun. Coming through a small opening in the ceiling, they penetrated the semidarkness. "It is over, Jim." Spock's sudden words brought me back to the present. Here he stood, armed, wearing his battle uniform and the armour, his hair tousled, his face covered with dusk, his scent a mix of his sweat, spice and alien blood, stunning in his dark, forbidden beauty. Again he rested his hand on my shoulder, standing so close. This slight touch loosened something in me. A sob at first, a fine trembling which ran down my body, while in the next second I did something I hadn't done in my whole life: I pulled his head closer and then I kissed him. I wish I could properly describe the sensation of holding him, of parting his lips, of tasting the wetness of his mouth and his tongue, as he grabbed me closer and responded with the same passion. Who moved his hands under which armour? I think I will never figure it out. All I know for sure is that we both sank to the dusty floor, kissing each other fiercely, dropping the weapons, stripping one another out of our battle gear. I felt the urge to pull away every piece of cloth that might stay between me and him; I inhaled the scent of him, which grew stronger as I lowered him down. His eyes, which never left my gaze as he was laid down on his back; his slight trembling and my desire, when I covered his body with my own. All this I saw and memorised, in the short moment when I first lay atop him, savouring the heat of his body, his slightly parted legs, his already-wet hardness pressing itself against my own. He reached up and bent my head down to kiss me again and simultaneously he arched his back in his need. Still kissing him, I started to move, rubbing myself against his groin, feeling him move with me in one rhythm, while his hands wandered down along my spine, grasping my ass, to press me closer. I jerked when I felt the hot fingers parting me, stroking the opening of my anus. But he stifled my moan with an another kiss. How long were we writhing together on the dirty floor of this small hollow? I don't know. Only that it went on and on, with those sounds and movements as old as the galaxy itself. But I wanted this. I wanted to continue like this forever and perhaps I could have, if there weren't this pressure in my flanks which increased with every new movement, with every breathtaking kiss. Finally I cried out and came all over him, and then as I collapsed in his arms I felt his own orgasm too. I fell asleep wrapped in the heat of his body, feeling the slight caress of his fingers in my hair. And my dreams weren't the ones about the last fight... ...but about him. The peace I felt, sleeping beside him on the dirty floor, disappeared when I woke up alone in the old hollow. I beamed on board and there he greeted me in the transporter room, all cold calmness and Vulcan politeness. Seeing him there, his back straight, all the clinical neatness of my first officer, made it almost impossible to imagine that only hours ago his hair was tousled in a moment of the greatest passion. Facing this I didn't dare to give even a slight sign of my knowledge of what had happened between us. I accepted his report and then dismissed him. The only thing I wanted was to get into my cabin, to cleanse myself of the dirt, the alien blood and yes... his semen, which had dried on my belly while I was sleeping. I didn't want to see him. Not after the way he'd behaved when I came aboard. But what did I want then? Really, what? I chewed on this question for the entire next week. Except in the line of duty we didn't speak a word to each other. It was as if all my decisions to make the first move had splattered against the wall of his restrained withdrawal. After the nights full of dreams about him I felt suddenly helpless and uncertain, seeing this mask on his face. Perhaps this circling around him would have continued forever, but some higher force, or something like one, mercifully took the decision from me. We were checking on further needed supplies in a room on deck five, where except for the computer terminal and two chairs there was nothing else. We had just finished and stood up to head toward the door, when suddenly the floor under our feet moved, the room shuddered and catapulted us toward each other. The siren of red alert howled out. Spock caught me in the iron grasp of his hands and managed to keep both of us from falling to the floor. I hit the button of the communicator: "Mr. Scott, what the hell..." "My apologies captain, but this lad from helm mistook the Enterprise for a horse span." Human or not, I lifted my eyebrows up: "Mr. Sulu?" "No, Ensign Rowers, our freshman from the Academy." Spock's fingers on my shoulders squeezed me slightly. "Relive him from duty now, I'll talk to him later in my office." "Aye captain..." "Mr. Scott!" "Yes?" "Turn this howling off... please! Kirk out!" The silence was a relief for my ears, but all of my body seemed to be at peace now. Because of Spock. Because of his hands, which released my shoulders to slide down to the small of my back, to finally draw me closer. I pressed myself tightly against his body, holding him around his waist, my face pressing against his neck, breathing his scent. "I waited for you." I more breathed than spoke it out. "I waited for *you*." I looked at him in disbelief. The years we've spent at each other's side, the way we've managed to communicate at the most subtle level while everyone around us wondered about how we didn't need any words. And now, we have failed probably for the first time. Perhaps because our bodies reacted faster than any halfway intelligible thought could. Like for example me, when Spock nuzzled the place behind my ear. "Spock, we should talk," I whispered against the skin of his throat. "Yes," he answered in a tone which made me hard right then. "I mean it." "Yes," and then he kissed me. No, this time the Enterprise didn't shudder. This time only my legs gave out and I sank to the floor, taking my Vulcan with me. We were both on duty, weren't we? But as I clearly remembered, while in the line of duty it is only forbidden to drink. Or was there something else too? But which brain in the galaxy could think while a hot Vulcan tongue was nibbling at the nipples of its body? Certainly not mine. I was lying on the rough carpet, the hem of my uniform tunic and the one of my regular shirt somewhere under my chin, while Spock licked with delight at my navel before he headed farther down to all the sensitive spots around my hipbones. Hipbones? Oh yeah -- finally, I realised that the waist of my trousers was somewhere near my knees. The cool air brushed the tip of my cock, before it was replaced by hot breathing. Spock's lips were only few millimetres away from the tip of my very hard erection. Our eyes met: "Please," I blurted out, ready to beg for the feeling, the sensation of his mouth on me. He must have seen it in my face, because he took mercy on my longing. He lowered his head and in the next moment I almost blacked out. Where he did learn it? Did he read all this from my mind? Were my thoughts flowing to him through my fingers in his hair? But why ask things which are useless in the moment of pleasure? I was now lying half naked on that rough carpet, feeling the crispy silk of his black strands, sighing with pleasure every time his hot mouth and wet tongue touched any sensitive spot on my genitals, savouring every moment of it. Gently at first, then more and more raw, driven by my need for release. I arched my back when I came in his mouth, my fingers pulling at his hair. Spock drank all I gave him in this moment of my release. When I once more became aware of my surroundings, I found myself clad again and lying in his arms. I groaned slightly in despair. "We should talk." I repeated again. He nodded, his eyes serious. "Yes, we should." Gently I withdrew myself from his oh-so-warm-embrace. I needed this distance to restrain myself. Should I remain where I was any longer, I would get aroused again and then I wouldn't be able to stop. I stood up, so did Spock. "My quarters, at 22:00?" He nodded again. I smiled at him some more and he gave me this look that made my toes curl inside my regulation boots. And then I headed for the bridge. Yes, we should talk, I thought, while standing in my quarters that evening. I was showered, properly dressed, and had no idea how to tell him all I had been thinking. Never in all those years on the Enterprise had we talked to each other so little. Perhaps the words weren't enough. Perhaps it would be better to let our bodies talk. I warmed the small jar of lubricant in my hand, knowing that this was what I wanted. I wanted *him* - the dark, restrained, serious, yet greedy Vulcan. I wanted the physical contact of our bodies, I wanted to smell him, to taste him, to feel him. I wanted him more than any being I'd wanted before. The door chimed and at my command it opened. The sight of him took away my breath. He entered my quarters, clad in a heavy, deep green robe which enhanced his dark beauty. Our eyes met immediately and again he gave me this look that changed my knees into melting jello. Then his gaze slid down to my hands and the small jar. When our eyes met again, I was stunned. It was hunger there, a hunger which set loose shivers across my whole body. With a few steps, he stood suddenly by me, holding me, to keep me from falling down. No, wrong... to keep me from falling down alone. He pinned me to the floor with the weight of his body, he put my arms behind my head, holding them there with the iron strength of a Vulcan. But I wanted it. I wanted my mouth to be savaged by his own, I wanted to be stripped out of my clothes. I loved every second of watching him pull his robe off. I thought, *I will go insane,* when he revealed that he was wearing nothing under it. But what I wanted most was to get lost in his body, in his heat, in his eyes and in his thoughts. "I want to get lost in you." This, I had to say it. While laying naked on the floor, exposed to his gaze, so intense it was burning me almost to ashes. Nothing would be the same, now that I'd said this. But I didn't want anything else. He groaned finely and then he fell on me. His hands, his mouth, his tongue were everywhere. He seemed to touch, to kiss, to lick every place on my body: my face, my throat, my nipples, my belly, my cock, my groin. I turned on my stomach, wanting him to bite me on my neck, to feel him between my shoulder blades, to let myself be licked along my spine, to be kissed on the small of my back... He lifted my hips and parted my legs and then I felt the hot finger entering me, touching the sensitive spot inside me. I moaned out aloud. He was kneeling behind me, with the one hand massaging the tight opening of my anus, with the other stroking my cock. I grew more and more aroused, the pressure in my flanks became unbearable. But then his hot fingers were withdrawn and I remained kneeling there, trembling with need, awaiting what would come next. But instead of entering me, he turned me over and took me in a tight embrace. "Wwhat...?" My shaking voice wouldn't let me say anything in an intelligible way. "Jim, are you sure? Do you really want this?" His own voice was rough with desire, but still he managed to hold back for a little moment. I took his face into my palms: "Yes," I whispered, "I have said it, and I mean it." Slowly, he lowered me down. Then he knelt between my legs, stroking himself. And I remained certain, as he lifted my thighs, as he entered me slowly, carefully, as he started to move inside me in long strokes at first, then growing faster and faster, taking us both toward our release. He was never as beautiful as in the moment of his orgasm, as he emptied himself in me. And I came only a few seconds later, dimly aware of his body sinking into my arms. I listen to his peaceful breath, which brushes the side of my throat while his hand and mine lie entwined. I know that he will be here in the moment when I awake. I know that this right now is the most right thing in my life. I only wish that we would stop our falling to the floor, that we would get it one day to that bed. End. -------------------------------------------------------------
