“Look at me, into my eyes, see for yourself that I speak the truth.” Nicolas didn’t flinch at Nathan’s intense stare, then Nathan rubbed his cheek against Nicolas’s hand.
“I can’t believe that in a place like this, I found a man like you, Nicolas. I’m the blessed one. Whatever we need to do, I trust you.”
His heart swelling with love, Nicolas nodded before pressing another kiss to Nathan’s lips. He would prove himself worthy of that trust.
“May I touch you, Nicolas? I’ve never touched another man.” The hunger in Nathan’s eyes was unmistakable and Nicolas nodded, settling himself on his back next to Nathan.
“Explore me as you will, but take care. You excite me so much I’m liable to spill too quickly.”
Nathan’s smile lit up the room. Nicolas relaxed into the meager bedding when Nathan ran his fingers over his chest, gently rubbing his nipples. The quick glances, as if for approval, gradually became fewer, until they stopped altogether. Nathan focused solely on Nicolas’s body, and Nicolas made sure to let his lover know which touches pleased him, and which threatened to make him spill.
When Nathan kissed a path down Nicolas’s chest, and daringly kissed the tip of Nicolas’s prick, Nicolas knew he couldn’t hold back any longer.
“I want to make love with you, Nathan. I swear I’ll explode with need if I don’t.”
“Yes, yes, I want that, too. What should I do?” Nathan met Nicolas’s gaze, a hungry gleam in his eyes.
“I want you to lie on your stomach, just here, and spread your legs.”
With a nod, Nathan obeyed, and Nicolas's pulse quickened at the sight. He stroked Nathan's back soothingly and took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself then settled himself level with Nathan’s pale ass cheeks.
Nathan squirmed slightly, and Nicolas leaned forward to kiss the center of each pert buttock and stroke the length of Nathan's back with the tips of his fingers.
“Don't worry about anything, just relax, and I’ll take care of you, Nathan.” Nicolas parted the firm cheeks and blew gently across the newly revealed skin. Nathan's response was muffled as he pressed his face into the pillow, but his body shook. “Relax, my love.”
Instead of making use of the oil straight away, Nicolas hoped to relax Nathan in another way. Settling comfortably, Nicolas kissed each cheek once more, then pressed forward and teased the displayed opening with his tongue.
Soft whimpers rose into the air, and Nicolas continued to lap over the delicate flesh, and even pushed his tongue daringly forward. Nathan quickly began to rhythmically push his hips forward into the mattress and back toward Nicolas’s tongue. Pleased that his strategy was working, Nicolas smiled and continued to lick Nathan, wanting his lover as relaxed as possible before they progressed further.
Convinced he could do no more with his tongue, Nicolas sat back and reached for the oil. As he poured some into his palm, Nathan turned his head to one side, watching Nicolas’s every move and Nicolas smiled.
“I'm going to use the oil to help open you with my fingers.”
“You are?” Nathan’s eyes widened, as if he’d never considered the practicalities of making love.
“I’ll stretch you with my fingers first, and when you're ready then I can be inside you.” Nicolas stroked his prick lightly, not wanting to overstimulate himself.
Nathan's gaze followed the motion and he whimpered softly. “I want that, Nicolas. I wish to feel you inside me, to feel us joined as one.”
Nicolas nodded eagerly. “I want that, too, Nathan.”
Nicolas set down the oil and reached between Nathan's cheeks, pressing against his lover’s hidden opening. His finger slipped inside slightly, and Nathan sighed, lifting his hips so that Nicolas’s digit slid in deeper.
“That feels good, Nicolas.” Nathan wriggled and then stilled, and Nicolas nodded.
“Good. You just keep telling me how you're feeling.” Nicolas moved carefully, making sure to use plenty of oil and to keep Nathan talking.
Soon Nathan was panting, rolling his hips, and pushing back on Nicolas’s fingers. Nicolas decided it was time to see if he could make things even better for Nathan. With a slight twist, Nicolas pressed deeper and the reaction was immediate, Nathan’s body tensed and then shook.
“Nicolas?” Nathan turned to look at Nicolas, his eyes opened wide. “What happened?” Nathan’s voice was low and husky, and Nicolas grinned.
“That's a special place that a man has, and when it’s touched right it’s very pleasurable.”
Nathan nodded, closed his eyes, and moaned softly as Nicolas repeated the movement. Nathan opened his eyes, fixing Nicolas with a searching gaze.
“And will I feel this when you are inside me, Nicolas?”
“That and more beside.”
“Oh, please. I want you so much, Nicolas. Will you not make love with me now?”
The pleading tone, coupled with Nathan reaching out to him almost undid Nicolas, and he squeezed the base of his prick firmly. His blood surged in anticipation and Nicolas wanted to last, to make their first union pleasurable for Nathan.
In truth, Nicolas was more than ready and if he waited any longer things would be over before he even got inside Nathan, whose enticing body waited so eagerly for him.
“Nathan, you are sure that you’re ready for me?” Nicolas had to ask. There had to be no doubts, no uncertainties.
In reply, Nathan rolled onto his side and gazed up at Nicolas. “I am ready, Nicolas. But, I have a question.”
Leaning forward, Nicolas kissed Nathan’s brow. “What question?” Everything had to be perfect, Nicolas needed to be sure Nathan was ready in heart and mind, not just body.
“I-I want to see you. I want to see your face when we make love. Can we do this?”
“Of course we can.” Relief washed over Nicolas. “That would be perfect, in fact. Although it may be a little more uncomfortable for you. But I promise to take care.”
“I don’t mind.” Nathan smiled. “I just want to look at you as we become one.”
“Yes, that will be very special. For me, too, my love.” Nicolas claimed Nathan’s lips in a long, sensual kiss, before settling back while Nathan settled back against the bedding. Then Nicolas moved into place between Nathan’s widespread legs.
“To start, I’ll put your legs onto my shoulders. That will be a little easier for me.” Nicolas reached for the oil and began to coat himself. As he slicked his hard cock, Nathan reached to help him.
The sensation of his lover’s gentle fingers, touching him so delicately, combined with such desire in Nathan’s eyes, made Nicolas achingly harder.
“That feels good. Too good. I won't last long if you continue, Nathan.”
“Then be inside me, Nicolas.” Nathan smiled, obviously pleased at the compliment and opened his legs wider, the invitation clear.
In reply, Nicolas lifted each of Nathan's legs in turn, kissing a path down each calf to the ankle before gently resting them on his shoulders. Nicolas was especially careful with Nathan’s damaged leg, thankful that the position didn’t cause Nathan any discomfort.
Now it was time. Nicolas shuffled closer. Nicolas hadn’t wanted anything in his life as much as he wanted this union. To feel Nathan surrounding his cock, to give and receive the most intimate of pleasures, and for them both to remember this night for the rest of their lives.
Finally in place, Nicolas took hold of his hard flesh, guiding it to rest against Nathan’s prepared entrance. Resisting the urge to press forward, Nicolas ran the head of his prick over Nathan’s glistening flesh to a deep groan from his lover.
“Ready, Nathan?”
“Yes, Nicolas, please.” Nathan gazed up at Nicolas and reached up to hold on to his upper arms.
“Then take a deep breath, my love.” Nicolas did the same himself and slowly pushed forward. There was a moment of resistance, then he slid slightly forward.
Straight away, Nicolas glanced down at Nathan. Although his lover wasn’t admitti
ng it, the tight grip on Nicolas’s arms told him how uncomfortable Nathan was.
“Breathe, love, take some deep breaths. Relax, and let me in.”
Nathan opened his eyes, met Nicolas’s gaze, and nodded. As his lover breathed, the tense muscles around the head of Nicolas’s cock relaxed and he slid in deeper.
“That's it, my love. Keep breathing and bear down for me.” Nicolas pushed a little harder, slowly sliding in an inch at a time until he was fully sheathed.
“You have me. You have all of me, Nathan.” Nicolas stilled. The feeling was incredible. Nathan’s tight body held tenaciously to his hard flesh, and the heat nearly seared him. Nicolas had never experienced anything like it. He and Nathan were one. United in heart, body, and soul.
The urge to thrust washed over Nicolas, but he held himself steady. Beneath him, Nathan lay still, and breathed deeply. His eyes were closed, but after a few seconds, they opened, and a smile transformed his face and he gazed up at Nicolas with joy and wonder.
“Nicolas. Yes, we are one. I-I feel you within me.” Nathan's voice was little more than a husky whisper, but it sent a thrill of arousal through Nicolas and he nodded.
“Yes, my love.”
“I had no idea, could never have imagined that such a feeling existed. It’s as if I feel your heart beating within me.”
“I feel you, too, Nathan. And swear I’ve never felt anything like this before. I love you. I feel connected to you and … and alive in a way that I’ve never felt before. I think it’s because we are in love that it feels so … so special.”
“Show me how much you love me, Nicolas. Please.”
Nicolas had to swallow as tears burned his eyes, and he leaned forward to kiss Nathan. He hoped he could make the experience as special for Nathan as it felt for him. Easing back a little, Nicolas guided Nathan to wrap his legs around Nicolas’s waist.
Then Nicolas leaned forward again until his lips almost touched Nathan’s, and he gazed into dark eyes filled with love and desire. Nicolas smiled and whispered, “I love you.” Nicolas closed the short distance that kept him from Nathan’s sweet mouth and claimed his lover’s lips in a deep kiss. He immersed himself in the kiss, feeling Nathan’s lips move pliantly against his own.
When Nathan opened his mouth, Nicolas slid his tongue inside. Nicolas lost himself in the sensations of Nathan’s body—his lover sucking gently on his tongue, the loving arms that held him close, and the hot tightness that squeezed his prick. His heart felt so full of love that Nicolas wasn’t sure he could keep it all in.
There was only one thing to do. Nicolas pulled back slightly, feeling Nathan’s inner muscles grasp deliciously at his hard flesh, and pushed gently back inside. The exquisite sensation made Nicolas moan with pleasure, and the sound mingled with Nathan's delighted gasp.
“Nicolas, Nicolas, please, do that again, I beg you.”
Almost without thinking, Nicolas repeated the movement, assuming he’d been fortunate to reach that special spot inside Nathan. Trapped between their bellies, Nathan’s cock swelled, and rubbed against Nicolas as he continued to rock in and out of his lover’s body. Each inward thrust drawing ever more pleasured cries from Nathan.
His own climax was close, so Nicolas reached between them and took Nathan's prick in his hand, pumping it in time with the rhythm of his movements. Nathan’s reaction was instant. Not only did a deep groan escape him, but the tight walls surrounding Nicolas’s cock squeezed with sublime pressure.
Not wanting either of them to spill too quickly, Nicolas tried to slow down, wanting to draw out and savor the incredible sensations. Nathan shifted his legs and his heels dug into Nicolas’s ass cheeks, as if trying to drive him deeper with each thrust.
The change in angle allowed Nicolas to go deeper and crying out Nicolas’s name, Nathan slid his arms around Nicolas’s back and pulled him into a kiss. This time their tongues dueled for dominance, and the pace of their lovemaking increased. There was no way Nicolas could stop himself. The sensations were too much, the pleasure impelled him on, and his arousal spiraled out of control as Nathan writhed beneath him.
The kiss ended and they both panted heavily. Nicolas increased the speed of his strokes to Nathan’s dick. He wanted his lover to spill, wanted to spill himself. It only took another few strokes before Nathan tensed and the hot walls that enclosed his cock contracted.
As he reached his climax, Nathan cried out. “Oh, Nicolas… Nicolas.”
There was a moment of perfection when Nicolas heard the ecstasy in Nathan's voice and his name falling from those sweet lips. The tight heat surrounding his prick clenched and spasmed and Nathan spilled.
Warm pearly fluid flowed over Nicolas's hand and onto their bellies and Nicolas could hold back no longer. With a groan of Nathan’s name, Nicolas followed him into bliss, his seed flooded his lover’s body as Nathan trembled beneath him.
Almost floating in sated bliss, it took long moments for Nicolas's thundering heart to slow. Nicolas bit back a groan as his prick slipped from the haven of Nathan’s body, and slowly raised his head from Nathan's shoulder. Nicolas would cherish the memory of the sight that greeted him for the rest of his life.
Nathan smiled up at him, his hair in disarray, his lips red and swollen from their kisses. But his face shone with joy, as though lit from within and a sense of satiation and peace radiated from him.
Tears once again burned in Nicolas’s eyes and his heart swelled to think that it was he who had been able to give such a gift, such joy to Nathan. But Nicolas also felt humbled by the enormity of the gift given in return. Nathan had trusted him, with his body and heart. Nicolas knew that he would never give up either. Nathan was truly his now, forever.
“Are you all right, Nathan?” Nicolas asked softly, his voice scratchy and a little hoarse.
“Oh, yes, Nicolas.” Nathan nodded and stroked his fingers down Nicolas’s cheeks before framing Nicolas’s face in his hands. “That was… I have no words. It was beyond anything that I could ever have imagined. And even more, you are beyond anything that I could ever have wished for. I love you.” Nathan closed the distance and brushed a gentle kiss to Nicolas's lips.
Easing back, Nicolas shook his head. “And I love you. I’m a blessed man. Rest for a moment, then we need to clean up. I have rags that get collected and thrown into the furnaces by the automatons. “As much as I want to just lie here naked with you in my arms, I dare not risk that someone will disturb us.”
“I understand.” Nathan nodded. “If we dress, may I still sleep here with you?”
“Of course.” Nicolas smiled. “I’ll just make it look as if there are two beds, and we’ll sleep together in one. When we get back to Earth, things will be different. I promise.”
“We must ensure Melbeck suspects nothing. I fear that if he thought we were lovers, he’d forbid me to see you again.” Nathan snuggled close.
“He won’t. We’ll take care. We must also plan how to free the children. Leave that to me.” Nicolas kissed the top of Nathan’s head. “I’ll come up with an idea how do it.”
There was still time enough before they reached the space station. Nicolas intended to ensure Nathan was also freed, along with the children. He just needed to work out how he could achieve his plan.
Chapter Fourteen
The next morning, Nicolas delighted in waking with Nathan in his arms. When Nathan awoke, they indulged in slow, tender kissing, before they reluctantly cleaned up as much as they could, and then dressed. Nathan moved a little gingerly and Nicolas was instantly concerned.
“Did I hurt you?” he asked.
“No. Well, I ache, but it’s a good ache. It reminds me of the love we shared, Nicolas.” Nathan blushed delightfully, and Nicolas couldn’t resist kissing his lover’s soft lips.
“I’m glad to hear it. Now, I want you to go about your normal duties.” Nicolas pecked a soft kiss to Nathan’s cheek as his lover readied to leave. “I shall go to Melbeck, tell him I need assistance, and that I want you
. Don’t worry. I have an idea how to persuade Melbeck to agree with me.”
“I won’t be able to give up my other duties. I wish I could.” Nathan sighed. “And I hate wearing this thing.” He scowled down at his brace.
“Your leg seems a little weak, but certainly in no need of anything so cumbersome. If you work with me, we’ll work on getting you walking without it.”
“Life with you would be so amazing. I pray we can be together as we so desire.”
“As do I.” Nicolas opened the door and peered out. “No one around. Go now. And leave everything to me.”
“Very well.” Nathan limped away, and Nicolas kept a watch on him until he disappeared from Nicolas’s sight.
Shutting the door, Nicolas ambled over to Rusty and patted the mechanical’s chest. “Now, my friend, you and I need to spend a little time together before I go to Melbeck. After the way he’s treated you and your friends, you’d like to teach him a lesson, wouldn’t you? And I’m sure you’d like Nathan working on you.”
The mechanical emitted a soft hiss, and Nicolas frowned. “I thought I’d made sure you were sound. Never mind, I need to make a few tweaks before I go and seek an audience with the almighty Captain Melbeck.”

His head high and marching as resolutely as he could in the confined ship’s corridors, Nicolas approached the ship’s bridge. One of Melbeck’s crewman, a bald, bulky man, barred his entry, standing with his legs planted wide apart and arms folded.
“No one goes in without the captain’s order. What d’yer want?” The man’s brusque question and belligerent attitude made Nicolas’s hackles rise.
However, instead of reacting angrily, Nicolas smiled, as condescendingly as he could manage. “I really don’t think discussing with you the intricacies of automatons’ inner workings would be of any use whatsoever. Therefore, you may pass on a message since you won’t permit me to pass. Tell Melbeck that if he wants his mechanicals back to a good working order, I need assistance. And the likes of you, big, clumsy, and coarse, will not suffice. I shall be in my workroom, waiting for him.”
