Arizona Sun

 

“This is really very nice,” Fraser told Ray as they walked through the airport terminal.

 

Ray smiled at him.  “Not quite what you’re use to, huh?”

 

“No.  I’m use to snow for Christmas.  All this sunshine is quite an interesting change.”

 

Ray chuckled.  “I bet.  It’s to bad we couldn’t bring furface.”

 

“Yes, well-we are only going to be here for less than a week.  It would not have been worth the expense of bringing him.  He will be quite alright with Turnbull.”

 

“Yeah, he will.  But you’re going to be in the puppy house when we get back.”

 

As they continued to walk toward the exit Fraser suddenly heard music.  His eyes snapping toward where he heard it.

 

“Ray, their singing Mariachi music.  Lets go see,” he told his partner, hopefully.

 

The blond shook his head.  “Nope.  We go over there you’ll get all involved in it.  Then they’ll get you to start singing and we won’t get out of here till next Christmas.”

 

“No, I won’t, Ray.  My Spanish is extremely rusty.  My Spanish is very rusty.”

 

Ray almost gave in at the pleading look in Fraser’s blue eyes.  “Later, Buddy.  I want out of the airport. I’ll take you to a place where they sing all the time.  We’ve got a week.”

 

Fraser looked over toward where he could still hear the music.  “Really?” 

 

“Cross my heart. Here’s the exit.”

 

Fraser ill prepared for the bright Arizona sun.  “Oh,” he said, blinking.  “It really is sunny.”

 

Ray chuckled.  “Not quite what you’re use to is it?”

 

Fraser smiled at his partner.  “No.  Christmas is usually spent digging out from mountains of snow.  This is quite refreshing.”  He watched Ray hail a cab.  “Are you sure your parents won’t mind us doing a surprise visit?”

 

“They shouldn’t.”  Ray turned to look at him.  “Why?  You think I should have called first?”

 

Fraser nodded.  “I think it would have been prudent.”

 

Ray shrugged his shoulders.  “To late now.  We’re already here.”

 

***

 

It turned out Ray should have called.   Finding out from his parent’s neighbors that the Kowalski’s had gone to Disneyland for Christmas.

 

Not what Ray had hoped to hear, but deciding to make the best of it.  Talking Fraser into going to a fancy hotel for Christmas.

 

The Mountie blushed when Ray told him how they were going to spend Christmas.  He didn’t put up to much of an argument though.

 

“I love you so much, Ray,” Fraser told him softly.  Tangling their fingers together.

 

The blond looking up at his Mountie.  “I love you too.  I’m sorry I messed up.”

 

Fraser gave him a smile that always melted his heart into a puddle of goo.  “That’s alright.  I like that we can spend time here together.  That’s all that matters.”

 

“What you’re doing right now is very nice too.”

 

“Like that do you?”

 

Ray smiled up at him.  “Oh, yeah.  A little more motion wouldn’t be to bad though.”

 

Fraser nuzzled his nose with his.  “Really?”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“I like Tucson.  It’s a beautiful place.”

 

Ray ran his hands over Fraser’s naked back to gently cup his flexing buttocks.  “Yeah, it is.  Do you think you’ve gotten enough souvenirs?”

 

“I could use a few more.  Can we go to the shop on Main, so I may pick up a few more southwestern style blankets?  And maybe some more Ojos De Dios.  I would very much like to learn how to make those.”

 

“Sure.  Maybe the lady that makes them will be there when we go.”

 

Fraser kissed Ray gently.  “Yes.”

 

“Frase?”

 

“Yes, Ray?”

 

The blond wrapped his legs around Fraser’s waist, making them both moan softly as he slid deeper.

 

“You really don’t mind?”

 

“What?”  Fraser asked, nuzzling Ray’s neck happily.

 

“Being with me?”

 

“Why would I mind that, Ray?” Fraser asked, looking at him puzzled expression on his handsome face.

 

“I don’t know.  You could be enjoying yourself in the frozen tundra somewhere up north?”

 

“I could.  Ray?”

 

The bond ran his hands over Fraser’s very broad, very warm back.  It never failed to amaze him, how warm the Mountie was.  “Hmm?”

 

“Would you be on this frozen tundra with me?”

 

Ray frowned up at him.  “Where else would I be?”

 

Fraser gave him a brilliant smile.  “Just checking.”

 

Ray chuckled softly.  “You’re such a goofball.”

 

“Yes, Ray.  But Ray?”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“It wouldn’t be much fun if I wasn’t with you.”

 

“That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said.  Actually most time people see me they run the other way.”

 

Fraser stopped moving, making the blond moan in loss.  “That’s not true, Ray.”

 

“Course it is.”

 

“What about Stella?”

 

Ray reached up to move Fraser’s sweat soaked hair off his face.  “What about her?  And should you be mentioning her considering what you’re doing to me?”

 

“What, Ray?”  Frazer asked, giving him an innocent look.

 

“Well, loving the stuffing out of me like you’ve been doing for the past hour.”

 

“Have I been doing that?”

 

Ray reached up, pulling Fraser’s head down to share a gentle kiss.  “Hell, yeah.  And I’ve been enjoying every minute of it.”

 

“I’m glad.  Ray?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“You don’t mind?”

 

Ray frowned up at Fraser.  “Mind what?”

 

“That I’ve been loving the stuffing out of you for the past hour?”

 

“Why would I mind that?”

 

Fraser gave him a rueful smile.  “I’m not use to having someone to….”

 

“Make love with?”  Ray supplied helpfully.  Watching the Mountie flush a bright red.

 

“Yes.  And I may be a bit exuberant.”

 

Ray smiled at him.  “I like exuberant.”  He arched up into Fraser.  “I love exuberant.”

 

“Oh,” Fraser replied, his eyes held a note of wonder.  “I thought you would get tired of me be being so very needy.”

 

“Nope.  I like needy too.”

 

“My kind of need?”  Fraser asked softly. looking at Ray from underneath his lashes.

 

“Yup, especially your kind of need.  I’ve never had anyone need me as much as you have.  I really like it.”

 

“But, Ray…”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“I can’t seem to get enough of you.”

 

Ray smiled up at him again.  “We’ve only been doing this for a month.  I thing after a while you won’t be needing me as much.  Though I hope not.”

 

“You really don’t mind that I…”  Fraser blushed an even brighter shade of pink.

 

“Like fucking me?  Hell, no.”

 

“Ray?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

Fraser hid his face against Ray’s neck and the blond almost didn’t hear the question.  “If you don’t mind me asking why do you like me…”

 

Ray wrapped his arms around Fraser’s back pulling him closer.  “Fucking me?”

 

“Y…yes.”

 

“I like the way you feel in me.  I have from the first moment we did it.”

 

Fraser licked the skin of Ray’s neck loving the taste of him.  “You did?”

 

Ray sighed happily.  “Hell, yeah.”

 

“But you’ve never done that before?”

 

“No.”

 

“Why then with me?”

 

Ray pulled Fraser’s head up.  “You’re kidding, right?”

 

Fraser shook his head.  “No, Ray,” he said, blue eyes dark with uncertainty.

 

“It’s because you’re Benton Fraser.”

 

“What does that mean?” 

 

Ray shook his head.  “You can be so dense sometimes especially when it concerns you.”

 

“Ray…”

 

“You’re beautiful, you’re smart, you’re so full of courage it makes my heart bleed and I love you.”

 

“Enough to let me into your body?”

 

Ray sighed.  “That’s where your in right now, ain’t ‘cha?”

 

“Yes, Ray.  But…”

 

“I don’t understand how someone with so many good qualities can be so fucking insecure.  It just don’t make sense.”

 

Fraser covered Ray’s mouth with his hand.  “Language, Ray.”  Gasping when he felt a tongue gentle stroke the palm of his hand.  “Oh.  It’s just that I’ve never been loved before much less been given such free reign to someone’s body before, I am a bit overwhelmed by it.” Ray said something, muffled by Fraser’s hand, he didn’t hear what it was. “What, Ray?”

 

Ray tugged on his hand moving it away from his mouth.  “I was just saying. I like what you do to me and I love you.”  He took the hand he was still holding and began nibbling on the fingers one by one.  Watching as Fraser’s blue eyes dilated even more till almost no blue was showing.  One added effect to that was that Fraser was moving in him a little faster. “Even if you’re a little bit of a freak.”  He bit a forefinger to see what kind of reaction it would get.  Feeling Fraser leap inside if him.   Oh yeah, he definitely like that.

 

Ray never breaking eye contact with the Mountie began alternating nipping and sucking on the hand he was holding. By the time he got to the pinkie he had his Mountie panting heavily and moving at a pace that was sure to satisfy them both. 

 

“Oh, Ray,”  Fraser sighed happily.

 

“Hmm, Fraser.  How did I end up with someone so beautiful?” the blond said softly.  Watching his Mountie blush despite what they were doing.

 

Fraser loved to love him.  Took every opportunity to do just that.  There wasn’t a spot in his apartment where they hadn’t made love. 

 

Fraser also loved Ray’s skinny body.  He knew every inch, every hook, hollow and cranny, intimately.  Taking hours and hours just exploring his body with his hands and that devil of a mouth of his.

 

That mouth could drive Ray mad whether it was speaking some dumbness at him or taking half and hour exploring his bellybutton.  Oh, how Ray loved that mouth.

 

Fraser was moving in him a lot easier now so Ray knew the Mountie was extremely aroused by what he was doing.  They hadn’t been using protection since they’d committed to one another.  And Ray loved the feel of pure Fraser in him.

 

“Oh, God.  Just like that, Frase.  Just like that,” he whispered arching into Fraser’s driving force.  He loved, truly loved the way Fraser felt when he was in him.

 

He’d never in his life been this intimate with anyone.  Ever.  Not even Stella.  Ray knew he would never again know this with any one but Fraser.  Would not want to.

 

Ray gasped softly, held close as he came between their two bodies.  “Oh, God. I love you, Fraser.  More than I thought I could love anyone.  Ever.”

 

“I…I love you, too, Ray.  Very much,” Fraser replied, increasing the rhythm of his thrusting.   Driving the blond deeper into the soft mattress.  Throwing his head back he moaned hoarsely as he spilled his seed deep within Ray’s welcoming body.  Knowing Ray would always welcome him.  When he could gather his scattered thoughts he looked down at Ray who’s his eyes were closed.

 

“Ray?”

 

“Hmm?” Came the lazily response, but Ray’s eyes still didn’t open.

 

“Are you alright?”

 

“Hmm-hmm.”

 

“I didn’t hurt you did I?”

 

“Nope.”

 

“Are you sure?”

 

“Positive.  I’m just enjoying the afterglow.”  Ray smiled, still not opening his eyes.  “Oh, man and what an afterglow.”

 

Fraser nuzzled his neck.  “I pleased you?”

 

“And how.”

 

“Would you care to do it again?”

 

“Hmm, hmm.”

 

“You would?”  Fraser asked a little stunned.

 

“Oh, yeah.  Any time of the day or night as long as I can keep this feeling.  It’s better than drugs or liquor,” Ray replied, finally opening his eyes.

 

“I love you, Ray?”

 

“I know, otherwise I wouldn’t be flying so high right now I could touch clouds.”

 

Fraser chuckled softly.  “I’m glad I pleased you.”

 

“Everyday, in every way.  Well, except when you start tasting stuff other than me.  I like when you taste me.  A lot.”

 

“I promise then not to taste anything that’s not you.”

 

“Cool.”

 

“Are you hungry yet, Ray?  You did promise to take me to a restaurant where we can listen to Mariachi music.”

 

The blond ran his hand down Fraser’s back.  They were still together and by the looks of it his Mountie was in no hurry to pull out.  “It’s more like so you can sing with them.  But yeah-we’ll go, but not just yet.  I like this feeling and I’d like to keep it for a while more if that’s okay?”

 

Fraser kissed Ray gently.  “It would be more than okay, Ray.   Far more than okay.  It would be my pleasure.”
