Notes: I would like to thankpadfootthegrim. I was asked for a story that had a long term crush and it was the first time. I was also asked for celebrating repeal of D.A.D.T and Uniform/Command kink. I hope that I have covered three of those and I have touched on the uniform kink a little bit. I just hope that my recipient likes it.
Prologue.
Now.
Paul opened his briefcase. Pulling out a piece of paper, he looked at it once again. He knew that what he held in his hand would change the face of the US military forever. He also knew that it had the potential to cause trouble, both inside and outside the military.
Placing the paper back in his briefcase, Paul relaxed back in to his seat. "We'll have to face it when it happens,” he thought. For now, all he wanted to do was savour the moment.
Paul also realised that, if he let it, it could change the rest of his life too. Now all he needed to do was to decide whether he was going to tell the object of his affection how he felt. While Paul was really glad that D.A.D.T had been repealed, there was a part of him that wished it hadn't. As Paul looked out of the window, his mind went back to where it all began.
Then
The SGC had become a hive of activity since the Atlantis expedition's sudden and unexpected expulsion from the city. The corridors were full of civilians preparing for their new assignments, as well as the military personnel, some in combats others in dress blues. Of the military contingent, some were waiting to be debriefed, others were waiting to speak with General Landry about being assigned to off-world teams. Unused rooms and store rooms were full of boxes of equipment and personal items awaiting redistribution or repatriation of personnel.
Major Paul Davis had been assigned to the mountain by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to assist in the debriefing of military personnel and to attempt to set up negotiations with the current occupants of the city to allow continued access to Atlantis.
Paul was deep in thought on this matter when he walked round the corner. Suddenly, he felt a glancing blow to his shoulder as he walked in to someone.
" Oh sorry." Paul looked up to see who it was.
He was met by a man who was dressed in Class A Dress Blues. Looking at him the man smiled. Paul looked at his name badge. Maj. E. Lorne. As he was wondering what the E stood for, the man took a small step back and held out his hand.
"Major Evan Lorne."
Paul was taken by surprise. " Major Davis"
Evan stared at him thoughtfully. " First name or do I just call you Major? "
Paul looked at him a little confused. Then it struck him. "Sorry. My name is Paul."
Evan smiled. "Hi there Paul. Look I was going to the mess for a cup of coffee. Would you like to join me?"
Paul looked relieved. "Yeah. Anything that takes my mind off dealing with those damned Ancients is fine by me."
Evan wrinkled his brow. "Oh, not going so well?"
Paul rolled his eyes. "You could say that. They're so demanding. I wouldn't mind but these are just discussions to set up negotiations. I feel sorry for whoever has to deal with them face to face."
The two men laughed as they made their way to the mess. Over coffee, Paul found himself studying Evan. He found the man interesting. He was a handsome man and the fact was made even more evident by the cut of his uniform. His hair was thick and luxurious and Paul wanted to run his fingers through it. Then there were his beautiful green eyes.
Paul had always been proud of the fact he was a sensible man who rarely made a rash decision or rushed in to things. And yet, here he was falling for a man he has just met. Major Evan Lorne had really got under his skin and he had no idea why.
It was then that Paul realised that he had spent the last few minutes gazing at Evan, not really listening to what he was saying. Paul also realised that he didn't mind at all as he was enjoying the view.
Over the next couple of days, Paul found himself finding reasons to be in Evan's company. As he did he found that he was enjoying it more and more. When he got back to Washington, he pulled Evan's personnel file. He gazed at his picture longingly, his heart beginning to flutter. The last time he had felt like this was in high school, when he had a crush on his football coach. Paul Davis had it bad and there was nothing he could do.
Now
As they headed toward the mountain, Paul absentmindedly drummed his fingers on his briefcase. At least then he had been able to hide behind D.A.D.T.
Paul sighed, "That and the fact that the expedition had made it back to Atlantis,” he thought.
Now, thanks to the attempted invasion of the earth by the Wraith, the city of Atlantis was back on earth. This meant that the expedition was back on earth, which meant that Evan was here too. Paul wondered how long it would be before he would bump in to him.
**********
Since Atlantis had arrived on earth, it seemed that he had done nothing but stay at the SGC attending briefing after briefing. It was driving him crazy.
Rubbing his temples, he thought, "How long is going to go on?"
As he opened his eyes and looked up, Evan saw a familiar face. "Hey Paul. What brings you here?"
Paul looked at him nervously as he tightened his grip on his briefcase. "Oh I have a communiqué from the Joint Chiefs Of Staff. I'm here to give it to General Landry."
"So what is it?. "
Before he could finish the sentence, Paul looked at him and smiled. "I've got to go. I'm going to be late. I'll catch up with you later."
Paul dived down the corridor. Evan looked at his retreating figure and shook his head.
An hour later, Evan found himself, along with all the personnel of the SGC, standing in the gateroom. They were waiting for an announcement. The noise ended abruptly as General Landry walked in to the room followed by Major Davis. There was a stomping sound as all the military personnel came to attention.
"At ease." Landry looked around the room.
Evan managed to catch Paul's eye. They held each other's gaze for a moment before Paul looked away. Evan could've sworn he was blushing a little.
General Landry addressed the room. "I have been given a communique from the Joint Chief of Staff." He began to read. After what seemed like an eternity, but was really only a matter of minutes, Landry concluded, "to summarize, with immediate effect, for all current and future military personnel, D.A.D.T. has been repealed and will no longer apply. This means that it will no longer be possible for someone to be discharged from the military due to the sexual orientation. Also, while all other rules of fraternization will still apply, it will be possible for military personnel to openly engage in same sex relationships without fear of censure."
There was a moments silence before the room erupted in to cheers and clapping. Evan knew that this would allow him to ask Paul the questions he wanted to without fear of reprisal no matter what the response.
Of course, this would mean finding him first. This ended up being harder that he thought. In-fact, if Evan had been a man prone to paranoia, it might seem like he was avoiding him. Of course, just because he wasn't, didn't mean that this wasn't the case. Evan lost track of the amount of time he spent, the amount of people he had spoken to, and the amount of rooms he had looked in before he found him.
Paul was sitting in a small room with his briefcase on the desk. Beside it was a small pile of paperwork. Evan raised his eyebrows.
Grabbing the other chair in the room, he placed it at the other side of the desk. "So what are you doing?"
Paul looked up. "Oh, just doing some paperwork. Less to do when I get back."
Evan stared at him. "You know, from where I'm sitting, it looks like you've been avoiding me."
Paul swallowed hard. "Why would you say that Evan?"
"Oh well, let me see, you said that you would see me later, then you disappeared. It's taken me god knows how long to find you. When I do, I find you in the smallest, most obscure office in the SGC with not even a cup of coffee for company." Evan looked and sounded exasperated. "I didn't even know it was an office. I’m sure that the last time I was here this was a store room. Anyhow do you get the point?"
Evan looked at Paul. For the first time since Evan had known him Paul looked out of his depth. It was as if he'd hit a nerve, even if he wasn't entirely sure which nerve it was.
Paul looked at Evan and sighed. "Sorry Evan. It's just that since I found out that D.A.D.T. had been repealed, I've been left with a lot to think about." Evan said nothing and waited for Paul to continue. "It's just that I've fallen for someone and I didn't know what to do about it."
Evan looked at him and smiled. "Have you thought about telling him?"
Paul shook his head. "I'm afraid. I'm not that good at relationships and I guess I'm scared that if I tell him I would lose the friendship that we have."
"You know, I have it on good authority, that if you were to tell him he would be very open to pursuing something more than just a friendship." Evan reached out his hand and placed it on Paul's. "Look, let me make this easy for you. I know that you're talking about me and I meant what I said. If you want to take this further. I would be interested."
Paul looked surprised. "Why would you fall for someone like me? I would've thought that Colonel Sheppard would be more of your type."
Evan shook his head. "Okay. There are two things wrong with that. First of all, his is my CO and if there is one thing I know it's that relationships like that are very much frowned upon, no matter what the sex of the people concerned. It would be considered a conflict of interest. Secondly, I think that Doctor McKay would kill me."
Paul raised his eyebrows. "Seriously?"
Evan nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure. They spend most of their downtime together. Not only that, when I've been on missions with SGA-1, I've noticed the way that John looks at anyone who he thinks is getting to close to McKay." Then Evan looked at little sheepishly at Paul, "Oh, and of course there was the fact that I caught the Colonel coming out of McKay's quarters, giving him a kiss as he went."
"I see," Paul replied, trying to hide a grin. "But that doesn't explain why you want to be with me."
Evan looked at him with affection. " You know, you are a very handsome man and you look way hot in your uniform. Apart from that, I enjoyed the time that we spent together. I have to admit, it was great to have someone to chat to. Your company stopped me from going stir crazy."
Paul looked at him shyly. "Really?"
"Yes, really."
With that, Evan stood up and made his way round to Paul's side of the desk. He lifted up his chin and placed his hands on either side of Paul's face and held it as he looked in to his eyes. Saying nothing he leant down to kiss Paul gently. The elicited a soft moan of pleasure. Evan took this as permission to carry on and he deepened the kiss. After a while Paul pulled back breathless.
"I want you so much Evan. I've wanted you since the time that I spent with you. God Evan, I've dreamt about this moment. I never thought …... Oh Evan, I'm not dreaming am I?"
Evan ran a finger gently down Paul's cheek. "No, you're no dreaming. This is really happening. I just need to know that you want this too."
"Of course I do Evan. I want this with all my heart." Paul stood up and put his arms round Evan's neck.
Evan pulled Paul closer until the bodies were touching. Evan felt his breath on his cheek. Leaning in to him, Evan captured Paul's lips with his, nipping, sucking at them, demanding entry. Paul opened his mouth and let Evan's tongue explore the inside, moving around as if he was mapping it for future reference.
Evan felt Paul resting against his body, afraid that his legs would give way beneath him. Evan had never believed that Paul would be so wanting and needy. It was like he was giving himself to Evan.
Evan decided to stop thinking and just let himself get lost in the sensations. Paul's aftershave smelled woody and Evan thought that there was the faintest hint of coffee in his mouth. When Evan broke the kiss, he pulled back to see Paul's beautiful green eyes looking at him in adoration.
Still holding him close and saying nothing his hands moved down the front of Paul's pants. Evan could feel the hardness of Paul's cock through the fabric. Cupping it gently in his hand he began to squeeze.
Paul gasped and pushed Evan away. "Sorry Evan, it's just that if you carry on like that, I'll come in my pants."
It was then that Evan got an evil glint in his eye. "That's okay baby. I know to deal with that."
Paul was still standing and before he could protest Evan managed to turn him round. Before Evan sat down he undid Paul's pants and pushed them and his briefs down his thighs revealing his hardness as he did so. Paul's cock was thick and veined, its purple glans dripping pre-come.
"Mmm. Impressive." Evan purred as he ran his hand up and down his length.
Looking at Paul, Evan reached out with his other hand and ran it through the dark hair round the base of his cock. Then he reached forward and nuzzled Paul's cock and balls, inhaling as he did so, taking in the smell of the sweat of the day. As he did so, he heard Paul whimpering above him. Major Paul Davis, a man who before now had been a vision of authority and self control, was losing it at his ministrations. Evan reveled in this.
Without another word, Evan lifted his head and engulfed Paul's cock, taking its full length in to the warmth of his mouth. As he did so, he ran his tongue over the veins on the underside of his cock, He couldn't believe how hard and thick he felt. Most of all, he couldn't wait to feel it sheathed deep inside him. This thought left Evan with a cock so hard, it was all he could do not to come in his pants.
"Too many clothes. Don't want to leave any stains."
Paul laughed as he fought to control himself. "Yeah just because we can doesn't mean we should let people know we are."
The room was filled with rustling as they took their clothes off. Soon they were standing with their pants and briefs round their ankles, their jackets and ties lying on the desk, their shirts opened revealing their dogtags lying on their chests. Paul reached out to Evan and slipped his hands underneath the fabric of his shirt, slipping it off his shoulders. Paul watched as Evan let it fall to the floor.
As Evan watched, Paul hesitantly reached out his hand to touch him. As his fingers ghosted across his skin, Evan felt the electricity of his touch, eliciting a moan. Paul smiled at this as he looked at him. Evan looked in to his eyes to be met with a look of adoration and desire in equal measure. Now it was his turn to reach out to Paul. Slowly he eased his shirt of his shoulders and watched as it slipped to the floor. Evan noted how good Paul looked. Not as muscled as he would've been if he'd been out in the field. But still not bad for a guy who spends most of his time behind a desk Evan thought as he looked at Paul's naked chest.
Evan moved closer to Paul, aligning their cocks as he did so. Wrapping his hand over them he began to stroke it up and down.
"OHMYGODOHMYGOD… Not going to last long Evan."
Evan smiled and as he kept rubbing he leant in to Paul and began to suck at the spot between his neck and shoulder blade. This sent Paul over the edge and suddenly Evan felt the stickiness of his come over his hand. This was the push that he needed and after a few more strokes he came hard, his come adding to the stickiness on his hand.
For a few moments the two men stood in silence. Evan looked down at the mess that lay between them.
"What do we do about this?" Evan asked a little sheepishly.
Paul thought for a moment. "I have something in my pant's pocket." He looked at Evan with a smile. "You're going to have to let go you know."
Evan did so with a grin on his face. He watched as Paul reached down and lifted his pants just high enough to reach in to his pocket. He pulled out a handkerchief and rubbed it over his sticky cock and then handed it to Evan. After having used it he lay it on the end of the table.
"We should go and get washed up, then there is a nice little restaurant that I would love to take you to"
Paul pulled up his briefs and pants. "Dammit. I should've brought a change of clothes."
Evan looked up from reaching for his own pants and briefs. "I'm glad you didn't." Paul raised his eyebrows. "What can I say. I've always had a thing for a man in uniform. When the man in the uniform is as hot as you are, it's an added bonus."
Paul stopped and looked at him. "I'm sorry. Did you just say that I'm hot?"
"Yes I did." Evan finished tucking his shirt in.
"Seriously?"
"Yes Paul. I think that you are hot, especially in that uniform." Evan waggled his eyebrows. "It emphasizes your best features."
"What would this be?" he looked at Evan with a twinkle in his eye. "On second thoughts don't tell me. I'm not sure I want to know."
Evan looked at him, shook his head and they both broke in to a fit of giggles. Paul collected his papers and briefcase and after a quick wash and brush up, they headed to the surface.
Evan watched as Paul looked around the car park.
"Don't worry. I've got transport." Evan placed his arm around Paul's waist and guided him towards the jet-black Jeep.
Paul laughed. "I should've guessed that a flyboy like you would have a vehicle like this." Evan gave him his best, And what's that supposed to mean?look. "Well let’s face it, I couldn't see you driving a family saloon car."
Evan grinned. "No. That's more your style right?"
Paul grinned and rolled his eyes. Evan watched as he got in. Paul looked at him. Evan thought for a man who spent most of his time dealing with problems which led to him looking worried, it was nice to see him with a peaceful look on his face. He also thought that it was a look that suited him and Evan hoped that he would see more of of it.
Without another word Evan set off. On the way an idea came to him. Now all he needed to do was set it in motion. At the earliest opportunity he pulled the jeep over and parked up.
"I'll be back in a few."
"That's okay. I promise that I will be here when you get back." Paul had a lazy smile on his face. Evan wasn't sure he could move even if he wanted to.
Evan found a pharmacy where he purchased condoms and lube. "Better safe than sorry." Evan thought as he tucked the bag in to his jacket.
Then he found somewhere quiet to make a phone call. "Hi Walter. Late shift again? That's cool. I was wondering if you know where Major Davis is staying tonight? Oh that's great. Could you do me a favour?"
After completing the call and on the way back to the jeep, Evan passed a florist and wandered in. When he got back to the jeep he was smiling.
"Hey gorgeous." Evan got in to the jeep, leant over and gave Paul a kiss on his cheek. "I've got something for you."
After taking the package out of his jacket and putting it on the dash, Evan gave Paul a single red rose. Paul looked at it and then looked at Evan and smiled.
"Thank you." Paul spoke, his voice almost a whisper. "This is beautiful. I love it.”
Evan rubbed a finger gently across Paul's cheek. With a sigh he started the engine. "We should get going. I don't know about you but I'm getting hungry."
Paul laughed. The rest of the journey was made in companionable silence. When t.hey arrived at the restaurant, Evan jumped out and opened the door for Paul. Paul smiled at him a little shyly.
"Would you mind if I held your hand.?" Paul looked at him with longing in his eyes.
Locking the jeep, Evan held out his hand to Paul. "It would be my pleasure."
Paul took it and held on hard. Evan had no problem with this as he was more than willing to let the world see that he and Paul were together. It meant even more because it was what Paul wanted. Evan looked over at Paul and realised that, even after such a short time, he was beginning to feel very protective of him. As his job usually involved protecting off-world teams, this in itself wasn't unusual. What was so unusual about this was the fact it was one man, a man for whom his feelings went far beyond a sense of duty. The strange thing was, well, that it didn't seem strange at all. Evan wondered if this was how John felt about Rodney.
Evan took Paul in to the restaurant. A young lady come over to them.
"Table for two please." Evan couldn't help noticing her gaze wandering down to their clasped hands.
The girl looked round the restaurant and thought for a moment. "I know. I have just the table for you. If you would like to follow me."
She led them to a corner booth in a secluded part of the restaurant. The two men spent their time enjoying a lovely meal and each other’s company. They shared jokes, talked about their lives and their hopes and fears for the future. Evan couldn't help noticing Paul eyes. He lost himself in their greenness and how they shone. As they were drinking coffee Evan took Paul's hand. Paul looked at him with love in his eyes and a happy look on his face.
"I still keep thinking that this is a dream and I'm going to wake up." Paul squeezed Evan's hand.
"Sure you're going to wake up. But this time you're going to wake up with me beside you.” Evan reached over to Paul and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
Paul sighed. Evan was pleased with the way that the evening had gone so far. He just hoped that Walter had been able to come through for him.
"Come on baby. Lets get going." Evan pulled Paul to his feet and led him from the table.
After having paid the bill and after making another quick phone call, the two men made their way back to the mountain. As they stood in the lift going down to the SGC, Evan pulled Paul towards him. He could feel Paul's erection pressing in to his thigh through the fabric of their uniform pants. This made Evan give in to the moment. He grabbed Paul in a passionate embrace and kissed him, his tongue demanding entry Paul's mouth, Paul's mouth opened and let Evan in. Evan used his tongue to map the inside of Paul's mouth. He tasted of coffee and chocolate. Evan lost himself in the sensation.
After a change of lift and several passionate kisses later, they arrived at the SGC. Before Paul could say anything, Evan took his hand and led him to the VIP room where he was going to be staying the night. The door opened to reveal a candle lit room and on a table by the bed was a bottle of champagne on ice with two glasses.
Paul turned to Evan, a surprised look on his face. "How did you manage this?"
"Walter." Evan said as he dropped the package on the bedside table.
Paul sat down on the edge of the bed and looked up at Evan. "That explains it. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Paul looked at Evan and swallowed hard. "Evan..."
"Yes Paul." Evan waited to see what was coming next.
" I was wandering." Paul hesitated before continuing. "It's just that when I thought about what would happen if we got together, I always imagined making love to you. If you want to take me then…"
Paul never got to finish the sentence as Evan took the words out of his mouth with yet another kiss.
Pulling back breathlessly, Evan said, "That's okay Paul. There will be plenty of time for love making in our future. I hope we will be together for a long time."
"You're serious about this?" Paul's voice betrayed his surprise.
Evan knelt before him, resting his hands on Paul's knees. "My mother once said that when you meet the right person you just know. You feel it deep in your heart and soul and if you're lucky the other person feels the way too. I know that you have feelings for me and as far as I'm concerned you are the one for me. So of course I'm serious about us. That’s why I want to make this work. It make take time Paul but I’m going to do my best."
Silently Paul stood up, lifting Evan with him. Slowly, almost reverently, he began to undress him. Eventually Evan stood naked before him and he watched as Paul ran his eyes up and down his body. He was looking at him as if he was a beautiful work of art. Then it was his turn to undress Paul. Before long the two of them stood naked.
Paul looked towards the bed and nodded towards Evan who climbed on to the bed. Paul followed him. Evan reached out to the bedside table for the condoms and lube and handed them to Paul.
"I got these on the way to the restaurant." Paul took the package from Evan and smiled.
Paul prepared Evan and very soon he was ready to make love to him. Pulling Evan’s legs over his shoulders Evan felt Paul enter him and gasped. It felt wonderful. Very soon the room was filled with the sound of two men giving themselves to each other. Evan felt each thrust of Paul's cock and he moved in and out of him. The heat of the love making flowed through his body. Evan knew that he was going to come soon, the feelings of what was happening overwhelmed him. Very soon Evan began to come hard and this took Paul over the edge too.
After they had cleaned up Evan popped the cork on the champagne and poured two glasses. Handing one to Paul he joined him in bed.
"I was thinking, when Atlantis goes back, I could ask for a post earthside." Evan said as he snuggled in to Paul.
Paul shook his head. "No I know that you belong there. I know that you want to make this relationship work but the last thing that I want to is take you away from that place. I always knew that I would have to share you with her. I don't really mind at all."
After a few more glasses of champagne Paul and Evan lay in each other’s arms. Evan was glad that he had found Paul and although he didn’t know how things would go for the two of them, he knew that right now he had a reason to stay alive no matter where he ended up.

The SGC had become a hive of activity since the Atlantis expedition's sudden and unexpected expulsion from the city.

Of the military contingent, some were waiting to be debriefed, others were waiting to speak with General Landry about being assigned to off-world teams.

This means that it will no longer be possible for someone to be discharged from the military due to the sexual orientation. Also, while all other rules of fraternization will still apply, it will be possible for military personnel to openly engage in same sex relationships without fear of censure."
There was a moments silence before the room erupted in to cheers and clapping. Evan knew that this would allow him to ask Paul the questions he wanted to without fear of reprisal no matter what the response.
Of course, this would mean finding him first. This ended up being harder that he thought. In-fact, if Evan had been a man prone to paranoia, it might seem like he was avoiding him. Of course, just because he wasn't, didn't mean that this wasn't the case. Evan lost track of the amount of time he spent, the amount of people he had spoken to, and the amount of rooms he had looked in before he found him.
Paul was sitting in a small room with his briefcase on the desk. Beside it was a small pile of paperwork. Evan raised his eyebrows.
Grabbing the other chair in the room, he placed it at the other side of the desk. "So what are you doing?"
Paul looked up. "Oh, just doing some paperwork. Less to do when I get back."
Evan stared at him. "You know, from where I'm sitting, it looks like you've been avoiding me."
Paul swallowed hard. "Why would you say that Evan?"
"Oh well, let me see, you said that you would see me later, then you disappeared. It's taken me god knows how long to find you. When I do, I find you in the smallest, most obscure office in the SGC with not even a cup of coffee for company." Evan looked and sounded exasperated. "I didn't even know it was an office. I’m sure that the last time I was here this was a store room. Anyhow do you get the point?"
Evan looked at Paul. For the first time since Evan had known him Paul looked out of his depth. It was as if he'd hit a nerve, even if he wasn't entirely sure which nerve it was.
Paul looked at Evan and sighed. "Sorry Evan. It's just that since I found out that D.A.D.T. had been repealed, I've been left with a lot to think about." Evan said nothing and waited for Paul to continue. "It's just that I've fallen for someone and I didn't know what to do about it."
Evan looked at him and smiled. "Have you thought about telling him?"
Paul shook his head. "I'm afraid. I'm not that good at relationships and I guess I'm scared that if I tell him I would lose the friendship that we have."
"You know, I have it on good authority, that if you were to tell him he would be very open to pursuing something more than just a friendship." Evan reached out his hand and placed it on Paul's. "Look, let me make this easy for you. I know that you're talking about me and I meant what I said. If you want to take this further. I would be interested."
Paul looked surprised. "Why would you fall for someone like me? I would've thought that Colonel Sheppard would be more of your type."
Evan shook his head. "Okay. There are two things wrong with that. First of all, his is my CO and if there is one thing I know it's that relationships like that are very much frowned upon, no matter what the sex of the people concerned. It would be considered a conflict of interest. Secondly, I think that Doctor McKay would kill me."
Paul raised his eyebrows. "Seriously?"
Evan nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure. They spend most of their downtime together. Not only that, when I've been on missions with SGA-1, I've noticed the way that John looks at anyone who he thinks is getting to close to McKay." Then Evan looked at little sheepishly at Paul, "Oh, and of course there was the fact that I caught the Colonel coming out of McKay's quarters, giving him a kiss as he went."
"I see," Paul replied, trying to hide a grin. "But that doesn't explain why you want to be with me."
Evan looked at him with affection. " You know, you are a very handsome man and you look way hot in your uniform. Apart from that, I enjoyed the time that we spent together. I have to admit, it was great to have someone to chat to. Your company stopped me from going stir crazy."
Paul looked at him shyly. "Really?"
"Yes, really."
With that, Evan stood up and made his way round to Paul's side of the desk. He lifted up his chin and placed his hands on either side of Paul's face and held it as he looked in to his eyes. Saying nothing he leant down to kiss Paul gently. The elicited a soft moan of pleasure. Evan took this as permission to carry on and he deepened the kiss. After a while Paul pulled back breathless.
"I want you so much Evan. I've wanted you since the time that I spent with you. God Evan, I've dreamt about this moment. I never thought …... Oh Evan, I'm not dreaming am I?"
Evan ran a finger gently down Paul's cheek. "No, you're no dreaming. This is really happening. I just need to know that you want this too."
"Of course I do Evan. I want this with all my heart." Paul stood up and put his arms round Evan's neck.
Evan pulled Paul closer until the bodies were touching. Evan felt his breath on his cheek. Leaning in to him, Evan captured Paul's lips with his, nipping, sucking at them, demanding entry. Paul opened his mouth and let Evan's tongue explore the inside, moving around as if he was mapping it for future reference.
Evan felt Paul resting against his body, afraid that his legs would give way beneath him. Evan had never believed that Paul would be so wanting and needy. It was like he was giving himself to Evan.
Evan decided to stop thinking and just let himself get lost in the sensations. Paul's aftershave smelled woody and Evan thought that there was the faintest hint of coffee in his mouth. When Evan broke the kiss, he pulled back to see Paul's beautiful green eyes looking at him in adoration.
Still holding him close and saying nothing his hands moved down the front of Paul's pants. Evan could feel the hardness of Paul's cock through the fabric. Cupping it gently in his hand he began to squeeze.
Paul gasped and pushed Evan away. "Sorry Evan, it's just that if you carry on like that, I'll come in my pants."
It was then that Evan got an evil glint in his eye. "That's okay baby. I know to deal with that."
Paul was still standing and before he could protest Evan managed to turn him round. Before Evan sat down he undid Paul's pants and pushed them and his briefs down his thighs revealing his hardness as he did so. Paul's cock was thick and veined, its purple glans dripping pre-come.
"Mmm. Impressive." Evan purred as he ran his hand up and down his length.
Looking at Paul, Evan reached out with his other hand and ran it through the dark hair round the base of his cock. Then he reached forward and nuzzled Paul's cock and balls, inhaling as he did so, taking in the smell of the sweat of the day. As he did so, he heard Paul whimpering above him. Major Paul Davis, a man who before now had been a vision of authority and self control, was losing it at his ministrations. Evan reveled in this.
Without another word, Evan lifted his head and engulfed Paul's cock, taking its full length in to the warmth of his mouth. As he did so, he ran his tongue over the veins on the underside of his cock, He couldn't believe how hard and thick he felt. Most of all, he couldn't wait to feel it sheathed deep inside him. This thought left Evan with a cock so hard, it was all he could do not to come in his pants.
"Too many clothes. Don't want to leave any stains."
Paul laughed as he fought to control himself. "Yeah just because we can doesn't mean we should let people know we are."
The room was filled with rustling as they took their clothes off. Soon they were standing with their pants and briefs round their ankles, their jackets and ties lying on the desk, their shirts opened revealing their dogtags lying on their chests. Paul reached out to Evan and slipped his hands underneath the fabric of his shirt, slipping it off his shoulders. Paul watched as Evan let it fall to the floor.
As Evan watched, Paul hesitantly reached out his hand to touch him. As his fingers ghosted across his skin, Evan felt the electricity of his touch, eliciting a moan. Paul smiled at this as he looked at him. Evan looked in to his eyes to be met with a look of adoration and desire in equal measure. Now it was his turn to reach out to Paul. Slowly he eased his shirt of his shoulders and watched as it slipped to the floor. Evan noted how good Paul looked. Not as muscled as he would've been if he'd been out in the field. But still not bad for a guy who spends most of his time behind a desk Evan thought as he looked at Paul's naked chest.
Evan moved closer to Paul, aligning their cocks as he did so. Wrapping his hand over them he began to stroke it up and down.
"OHMYGODOHMYGOD… Not going to last long Evan."
Evan smiled and as he kept rubbing he leant in to Paul and began to suck at the spot between his neck and shoulder blade. This sent Paul over the edge and suddenly Evan felt the stickiness of his come over his hand. This was the push that he needed and after a few more strokes he came hard, his come adding to the stickiness on his hand.
For a few moments the two men stood in silence. Evan looked down at the mess that lay between them.
"What do we do about this?" Evan asked a little sheepishly.
Paul thought for a moment. "I have something in my pant's pocket." He looked at Evan with a smile. "You're going to have to let go you know."
Evan did so with a grin on his face. He watched as Paul reached down and lifted his pants just high enough to reach in to his pocket. He pulled out a handkerchief and rubbed it over his sticky cock and then handed it to Evan. After having used it he lay it on the end of the table.
"We should go and get washed up, then there is a nice little restaurant that I would love to take you to"
Paul pulled up his briefs and pants. "Dammit. I should've brought a change of clothes."
Evan looked up from reaching for his own pants and briefs. "I'm glad you didn't." Paul raised his eyebrows. "What can I say. I've always had a thing for a man in uniform. When the man in the uniform is as hot as you are, it's an added bonus."
Paul stopped and looked at him. "I'm sorry. Did you just say that I'm hot?"
"Yes I did." Evan finished tucking his shirt in.
"Seriously?"
"Yes Paul. I think that you are hot, especially in that uniform." Evan waggled his eyebrows. "It emphasizes your best features."
"What would this be?" he looked at Evan with a twinkle in his eye. "On second thoughts don't tell me. I'm not sure I want to know."
Evan looked at him, shook his head and they both broke in to a fit of giggles. Paul collected his papers and briefcase and after a quick wash and brush up, they headed to the surface.
Evan watched as Paul looked around the car park.
"Don't worry. I've got transport." Evan placed his arm around Paul's waist and guided him towards the jet-black Jeep.
Paul laughed. "I should've guessed that a flyboy like you would have a vehicle like this." Evan gave him his best, And what's that supposed to mean?look. "Well let’s face it, I couldn't see you driving a family saloon car."
Evan grinned. "No. That's more your style right?"
Paul grinned and rolled his eyes. Evan watched as he got in. Paul looked at him. Evan thought for a man who spent most of his time dealing with problems which led to him looking worried, it was nice to see him with a peaceful look on his face. He also thought that it was a look that suited him and Evan hoped that he would see more of of it.
Without another word Evan set off. On the way an idea came to him. Now all he needed to do was set it in motion. At the earliest opportunity he pulled the jeep over and parked up.
"I'll be back in a few."
"That's okay. I promise that I will be here when you get back." Paul had a lazy smile on his face. Evan wasn't sure he could move even if he wanted to.
Evan found a pharmacy where he purchased condoms and lube. "Better safe than sorry." Evan thought as he tucked the bag in to his jacket.
Then he found somewhere quiet to make a phone call. "Hi Walter. Late shift again? That's cool. I was wondering if you know where Major Davis is staying tonight? Oh that's great. Could you do me a favour?"
After completing the call and on the way back to the jeep, Evan passed a florist and wandered in. When he got back to the jeep he was smiling.
"Hey gorgeous." Evan got in to the jeep, leant over and gave Paul a kiss on his cheek. "I've got something for you."
After taking the package out of his jacket and putting it on the dash, Evan gave Paul a single red rose. Paul looked at it and then looked at Evan and smiled.
"Thank you." Paul spoke, his voice almost a whisper. "This is beautiful. I love it.”
Evan rubbed a finger gently across Paul's cheek. With a sigh he started the engine. "We should get going. I don't know about you but I'm getting hungry."
Paul laughed. The rest of the journey was made in companionable silence. When t.hey arrived at the restaurant, Evan jumped out and opened the door for Paul. Paul smiled at him a little shyly.
"Would you mind if I held your hand.?" Paul looked at him with longing in his eyes.
Locking the jeep, Evan held out his hand to Paul. "It would be my pleasure."
Paul took it and held on hard. Evan had no problem with this as he was more than willing to let the world see that he and Paul were together. It meant even more because it was what Paul wanted. Evan looked over at Paul and realised that, even after such a short time, he was beginning to feel very protective of him. As his job usually involved protecting off-world teams, this in itself wasn't unusual. What was so unusual about this was the fact it was one man, a man for whom his feelings went far beyond a sense of duty. The strange thing was, well, that it didn't seem strange at all. Evan wondered if this was how John felt about Rodney.
Evan took Paul in to the restaurant. A young lady come over to them.
"Table for two please." Evan couldn't help noticing her gaze wandering down to their clasped hands.
The girl looked round the restaurant and thought for a moment. "I know. I have just the table for you. If you would like to follow me."
She led them to a corner booth in a secluded part of the restaurant. The two men spent their time enjoying a lovely meal and each other’s company. They shared jokes, talked about their lives and their hopes and fears for the future. Evan couldn't help noticing Paul eyes. He lost himself in their greenness and how they shone. As they were drinking coffee Evan took Paul's hand. Paul looked at him with love in his eyes and a happy look on his face.
"I still keep thinking that this is a dream and I'm going to wake up." Paul squeezed Evan's hand.
"Sure you're going to wake up. But this time you're going to wake up with me beside you.” Evan reached over to Paul and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
Paul sighed. Evan was pleased with the way that the evening had gone so far. He just hoped that Walter had been able to come through for him.
"Come on baby. Lets get going." Evan pulled Paul to his feet and led him from the table.
After having paid the bill and after making another quick phone call, the two men made their way back to the mountain. As they stood in the lift going down to the SGC, Evan pulled Paul towards him. He could feel Paul's erection pressing in to his thigh through the fabric of their uniform pants. This made Evan give in to the moment. He grabbed Paul in a passionate embrace and kissed him, his tongue demanding entry Paul's mouth, Paul's mouth opened and let Evan in. Evan used his tongue to map the inside of Paul's mouth. He tasted of coffee and chocolate. Evan lost himself in the sensation.
After a change of lift and several passionate kisses later, they arrived at the SGC. Before Paul could say anything, Evan took his hand and led him to the VIP room where he was going to be staying the night. The door opened to reveal a candle lit room and on a table by the bed was a bottle of champagne on ice with two glasses.
Paul turned to Evan, a surprised look on his face. "How did you manage this?"
"Walter." Evan said as he dropped the package on the bedside table.
Paul sat down on the edge of the bed and looked up at Evan. "That explains it. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Paul looked at Evan and swallowed hard. "Evan..."
"Yes Paul." Evan waited to see what was coming next.
" I was wandering." Paul hesitated before continuing. "It's just that when I thought about what would happen if we got together, I always imagined making love to you. If you want to take me then…"
Paul never got to finish the sentence as Evan took the words out of his mouth with yet another kiss.
Pulling back breathlessly, Evan said, "That's okay Paul. There will be plenty of time for love making in our future. I hope we will be together for a long time."
"You're serious about this?" Paul's voice betrayed his surprise.
Evan knelt before him, resting his hands on Paul's knees. "My mother once said that when you meet the right person you just know. You feel it deep in your heart and soul and if you're lucky the other person feels the way too. I know that you have feelings for me and as far as I'm concerned you are the one for me. So of course I'm serious about us. That’s why I want to make this work. It make take time Paul but I’m going to do my best."
Silently Paul stood up, lifting Evan with him. Slowly, almost reverently, he began to undress him. Eventually Evan stood naked before him and he watched as Paul ran his eyes up and down his body. He was looking at him as if he was a beautiful work of art. Then it was his turn to undress Paul. Before long the two of them stood naked.
Paul looked towards the bed and nodded towards Evan who climbed on to the bed. Paul followed him. Evan reached out to the bedside table for the condoms and lube and handed them to Paul.
"I got these on the way to the restaurant." Paul took the package from Evan and smiled.
Paul prepared Evan and very soon he was ready to make love to him. Pulling Evan’s legs over his shoulders Evan felt Paul enter him and gasped. It felt wonderful. Very soon the room was filled with the sound of two men giving themselves to each other. Evan felt each thrust of Paul's cock and he moved in and out of him. The heat of the love making flowed through his body. Evan knew that he was going to come soon, the feelings of what was happening overwhelmed him. Very soon Evan began to come hard and this took Paul over the edge too.
After they had cleaned up Evan popped the cork on the champagne and poured two glasses. Handing one to Paul he joined him in bed.
"I was thinking, when Atlantis goes back, I could ask for a post earthside." Evan said as he snuggled in to Paul.
Paul shook his head. "No I know that you belong there. I know that you want to make this relationship work but the last thing that I want to is take you away from that place. I always knew that I would have to share you with her. I don't really mind at all."
After a few more glasses of champagne Paul and Evan lay in each other’s arms. Evan was glad that he had found Paul and although he didn’t know how things would go for the two of them, he knew that right now he had a reason to stay alive no matter where he ended up.
