This is dedicated to Kim. She had the first idea and while we were talking about it I got an idea too. They aren't the same but
I gotta give credit where credit is due :o) All thanks to Kim, without whom this would not have been possible. ;o)

Vin closed his eyes and tried to calm his pounding heart. He led himself through the relaxation techniques, that he'd learned through long years of experience, worked best for him. Buck had left mere moments before, his eyes sparkling with promise and mirth. He trusted the man to keep his secret though. Buck was dead serious about few things, and romance was one of those things. He'd seemed shocked that Vin had asked for his help, but there was one man that had the knowledge Vin needed, that he trusted, and that man was Buck. The two of them had left work at lunch and with Chris' blessing not returned. Buck had made him take a long hot bath in the large whirlpool tub that graced Ezra's master bath. He'd also made him shave. Shave everything. He'd protested that he wasn't no girl, he didn't need to shave his legs, but then Buck had looked at him arms crossed, and asked why he was there if Vin wasn't going to follow his advice anyway. Buck had made him shave under his arms, had helped with the sparse hair on his chest, had made sure there were no hairs on his... behind. He'd suggested shaving in an even more, intimate place, but Vin didn't feel he was ready for that. Buck promised that he'd love it if he should try it. He promised to give it some thought. He'd dried and put on the moisturizer that Buck had brought. He'd opened his mouth to protest but Buck gave him that look again and he acquiesced. He'd been apprehensive about the skimpy piece of clothing that Buck had pulled out of his pocket, but he'd had to admit after he'd been convinced to put the small scrap of shimmery gold fabric on, that it did... display him very well. Then he'd blushed furiously as Buck had pulled out a tube of gel with fine gold glitter suspended within. The large man had spread the shiny slick substance on his skin with a gentleness that surprised him, and a clinical detachment that made him relax as much as he could. Buck had brushed the glittered gel over his arms and legs. Made sure it covered his chest and back. Brushed it over his cheek bones and eyes and ran it through his hair. Then he'd caused much more furious blushing when he'd brushed it over the cheeks the thong bared. Then he'd led him into the living room where a crackling fire had been lit. An ivory satin cloth draped over a pile of pillows that hid the old mattress that Buck had put on the hearth. Vin had wondered at the stuff when they had hauled it in, but Buck assured him he wanted more than the satin they'd bought earlier in the week, over the flagstones when Ezra nailed him to the floor. Vin had blushed at that too. He'd blushed more today than he had in years. Buck had arranged him on the satin artfully, but comfortable enough that he wouldn't get tired waiting for Ezra to get home. Buck's cell phone rang as he was getting the tea candles out of his duffel. Vin heard him murmur quietly and then laugh sharply just before he hung up.

"That was Chris. Ezra just left. He'll be here in 15 minutes." Buck looked at him and then scrounged back into the duffel. "I almost forgot." He pulled out a small clear disk and twisted off the top. "Open your mouth a bit Vin." He rubbed a bit of the sparkling gloss over Vin's lips. "Now don't lick that off Vin, that's for Ezra."

Vin smiled at him but then the smile faded. Buck's own smile faded to concern as he read the insecurity on Vin's face. "Vin, he will love this, he loves you." Buck grinned again, "But if he's stupid enough to turn you down Vin, you call old Buck, I'll rock your world." Vin found himself blushing again. "Now you be good and let me light these candles and get out of your way."

Vin watched Buck move around the space lighting dozens of small tea candles. He packed up and left the condo and Vin's nerve left with him. And now here he lay. Waiting. Wondering what Ezra was going to think. Ezra was going to think he was insane, he was going to laugh. He was going to take a shower, but he heard the key turn in the lock and froze. Aww Hell!

Ezra hung his jacket in the foyer closet. He was very disappointed not to see the jeep in front of his place. He'd really expected Vin to be here since he had taken a half day comp time. Ezra didn't have the time coming so he'd had to stay at work, but he didn't want Vin to lose the time off. He'd had a moment of panic when Mr. Wilmington hadn't returned from lunch either, but he trusted Vin implicitly, and Buck too as he thought about it. He stopped just before walking into his living room, he heard the coals hissing in the fireplace, saw a warm glow from the room. He reached for his gun, but aborted the movement. What criminal would break in and start a fire in the fire place. Probably Mother, he thought to himself, probably fallen asleep with Jet lag. He strode into the room intent on greeting her but stopped in shock. The fire place hissed and cast a warm glow over the shimmering vision of Vin, he wasn't sure at first if it was real. It was all so dream like, the fire, the candles that flickered from every flat surface, and Vin looking for all the world like a shimmering mirage that might disappear if he got closer. He couldn't breath, but found himself kneeling in front of the vision, he tried to speak and couldn't, but finally managed to whisper Vin's name.

At the sound of his name whispered in reverent tones Vin broke out of the spell that held him frozen as Ezra had stared at him in shock. He reached slowly toward Ezra watching the green eyes go black with passion. Ezra reached his own hand out to clasp Vin's, he brought it to his lips and gently ran the glittering digits across his lips, transferring some of the glitter to his own lips. The sight of his fingers being caressed by his lover caused Vin's blood to rush in his veins, pool in his groin. His breath caught in his throat as those lips brushed up the back of his hand over his wrist, to his elbow where a soft tongue licked at the inside of his elbow. Causing Vin to groan and lever himself to his knees. His newly shaved skin was incredibly sensitive to the petal soft lips tracing their way to his shoulder, smoothing up the long column of his throat. He broke himself out of his trance, those amazing lips had lulled him into, and started pushing Ezra's jacket off of his arms. He attacked the buttons on Ezra's shirt as Ezra nipped at his ear.

"God you are beautiful Vin!" Ezra breathed into his ear.

Vin ran his hands over Ezra's finally bare chest. "Not as beautiful as you." He murmured into his ear

Ezra pulled his face away from Vin's ear, and looked at him seriously.

"Vin you would put Adonis to shame." He ran gentle hands over the shimmering chest, barely brushing over sensitive nipples that hardened into peaks. "You are the most beautiful sight I have ever seen." Vin dropped his eyes and blushed. "I mean it," Ezra ran a gentle finger under Vin's chin pulling his face up til their eyes met. "You take my breath away. Every day Vin. Every day." Ezra caught Vin's lips with his own, kissing him hungrily.

Vin wrapped Ezra in his arms tightly, no one had made him feel as special as this man did since he was 5 years old. After long minutes Ezra pulled away and rocking back on his heels stood and began to strip the rest of his clothes off, leaving them in an expensive pile on the floor. Then his lover was back and he found himself pressed back onto the satin cloth, his lovers satin skin smooth against him. Ezra kissed him thoroughly, impatiently, deeply, and then he began to map Vin's chest with lips and tongue. Vin squirmed in delight. The newly shaven skin even more sensitive to his lovers touch. He couldn't help but moan as the kisses trailed down his belly to the top of the gold cloth stretched to it's limits. He vaguely heard someone whimpering as Ezra's lips ran down his left leg, the whimpering became a full throated moan as the lips ran back up his right leg. Vin wrapped his hands in his lovers silken hair and tried to draw that maddening mouth to the place he wanted it most, a place Ezra seemed most determined to avoid. The feel of his lover's silken hair and satin skin against his newly shaven thighs brought Vin's blood to boiling. And that hot mouth that painted trails of fire over his legs and belly, God he'd have to shave more often, maybe he'd have to shave more places? He smiled at the thought and then moaned as Ezra began licking up the steel hard erection through the gold fabric. His moans became choked cries as the licking continued, licking like a child would a melting popsicle. Only his popsicle wasn't melting and he felt as if he'd die if he didn't get some relief soon. He wanted to scream as the maddening tongue moved away from his throbbing erection and caressed his tight balls, and then moved to tease the sensitive skin behind them, but he couldn't get enough breath to manage anything more than a shuddering wail. Until the warm wet tongue moved to his entrance that he'd prepared after his bath. Ezra hmmmmed in appreciation as he tasted the lube. Vin had prepared himself with a coffee flavored lubricant that JD'd found on the internet for him. Ezra had remarked once that coffee was the flavor that reminded him of Vin. After several mind blowing minutes, Ezra started tugging ineffectually at the gold material. After a few moments, Ezra moved away with an irritated noise in the back of his throat.

"Damn garments." He muttered and then began to fight them off Vin's legs. Vin couldn't help but grin at the look of consternation on his face as he pulled the scrap of clothing off of Vin's long legs and tossed it on top of his own clothes. Vin watched Ezra stare at his groin unmoving. He was starting to worry when Ezra reached out and took his aching member in both hands and caressed it reverently, Vin couldn't help but close his eyes, groan and arch himself into those amazing hands. He forced himself to open his eyes, to watch his beloved stare at him with fond wonder in his eyes. "So beautiful." Ezra murmured and then looked up into Vin's face. "I want you." He said softly.

"I'm yours, Ez. I'm always yours." Vin told him softly. The grin that broke out on Ezra's face made his heart jump into his throat. His lover was truly beautiful when he smiled. He'd have to make him do it more often. And suddenly Ezra was scrambling for his clothes searching the pockets of his pants for a small tube and a condom. And now Vin was grinning. "You were all ready for me!" His broad smile belied his shocked tone. Ezra stopped and grinned sheepishly at him.

"Well, I'd hoped to find you ready for me, but you have surpassed my wildest dreams Vin." Vin blushed again. "You are the most perfect treasure I could ask for. I have never been given anything so wonderful in my life."

"But..." Vin started but Ezra silenced him with a finger to his lips.

"Never. I love you Vin. I love you." And then he kissed him and leaned him back onto the soft satin and pressed a slick finger into him slowly. Vin moaned into the kiss. There was nothing like the feel of his lover stroking into his body. And as one finger became two and then three, Vin began to squirm and thrash. He wanted to be filled by his lover and now dammit! "Ezra!" He yelled impatiently. A smooth Chuckle did nothing to sooth him.

"All in good time my Golden Treasure."

"Please?" He pleaded in his most pitiful voice. And was rewarded with a full laugh.

"Soon, soon love." Vin looked up into Ezra's laughing green eyes and panted watching him watching the delight in those eyes and he couldn't help but grin, and raise his legs high, knees tight against his shoulders. He watched Ezra fumble with the foil packet. His lover's normally steady hands were shaking with haste and Vin's grin widened. He wasn't so unfazed as he'd like Vin to think he was. And then the condom was in place and his lover slid home.

"Oh Ez." Vin moaned as he was filled. Ezra settled atop him, Vin's legs coming to rest on his shoulders.

"Am I too heavy?" Ezra panted as he kissed Vin gently.

"Never." Vin reassured him between kisses. "Now Move!" he demanded. Ezra laughed again and pulled away from him and then slid back home. "Oh God." Vin felt as if his whole body were on fire and he would shake apart if Ezra weren't holding him together.

Ezra found that his intentions of teasing Vin further disappeared like the mist in the sunlight and once he was moving within that silken heat he couldn't stop.

"Oh Vin." He panted. "So Good Vin. So Good. Love you." He wanted this to last forever but his every thrust seemed faster, harder, it was like flying. He was free while he was loving Vin, his soul was free only when he was held tightly by his lover.

Ezra's every thrust caused a flash fire within him, and Vin could feel himself reaching the point of no return. All he could do was hang on, and let Ezra take him to greater heights of passion. It may have been a moment, It may have been an hour but without warning his orgasm was upon him and Vin howled his completion. He heard Ezra cry out as well and then collapse on top of him.

Vin panted hard finding it difficult to breathe folded in half as he was, but he loved the feel of his lovers weight. After a moment he felt Ezra shift and pull his legs down. He immediately drew them up over Ezra's hips to hold him in place.

"Stay Ez. Want to feel you all around me."

"God Vin I love you." Ezra breathed into Vin's ear, but he settled his weight atop Vin who sighed happily and tangled his fingers into Ezra's hair.

"I love you too Ez. Love you more than anything."

Buck watched Vin and Ezra walk into Larabee's living room, their arms filled with brightly wrapped packages. They put them under the tree in the corner with the others. He watched the odd glint in Vin's hair as he moved into the kitchen to get a snack. He grinned. The glitter would take a week to wash out completely. His eyes went to Ezra as he stood in front of the fireplace to toast himself next to Nathan. He saw the odd glint of glitter in the amber hair and his grinned widened. It would seem that Ezra enjoyed his present. Buck looked over at Vin who'd returned from the kitchen balancing a plate. He stood next to JD with his plate instead of sitting. Vin looked up at him and Buck managed to catch his eye. He smiled shyly at Buck and blushed. Buck could barely contain his glee. He was very happy for his friends. Happy that he could help Vin give Ezra a gift he'd never had before. After all, what did you get the man who had everything?

The End.
