"I want to fuck you like an animal;
I want to feel you from the inside.
~ NIN~

Karl had always wished he'd gotten to know Craig better when they'd worked together on Xena and even his stint on Shortland Street. He had always liked the quick wit the man had. He liked those flashing blue eyes too. He found himself wondering what they would look like when Craig was making love.

This was not a good train of thought for sitting in a long meeting. His ass was hurting from sitting so long, he wanted a beer, and PJ was being long winded. He looked at Harry who winked at him. Wicked Harry. He smiled to himself, still not sure how he felt about being Harry's `boy'.

Craig was drinking coffee and paying attention to... well, as best as Karl could tell, nothing. He found his mind drifting back to a glimpse of Craig's naked body during Xena. He had no idea why he remembered it so clearly. He wondered if Craig ever noticed him.

**

Craig was fidgety. Too much coffee. And Karl staring at him so intently. He had thought Karl was so fucking handsome when they did Xena, but now, well, now he was just a poster boy for sin. Karl was out of his league, way out. Craig shifted in his seat, uncomfortable under Karl's scrutiny.

He wasn't even paying attention enough to PJ to know when the meeting was over. Everyone got up and left. He was still sitting until he noticed someone standing beside him. He looked up at the tall dark haired man who had come around the table and now stared at him from a foot away instead of across the table.

"Hello, Karl. Long time."

"Yep."

Craig realized he was tongue-tied. Completely.

He smiled his knock them on their asses with his charm smile at Karl.

**

That smile went straight to his cock. Damn him! He stood there swelling in his jeans while Craig looked at him. He could do something, say something or just slink away. He started to slink away.

"Want to get a beer?" Craig asked his back.

"Sure. Wanna ride on my bike?"

"Yeah. Won't drop me will you?"

"Not a chance." Craig followed him out the door. Once at the bike, Karl tossed him a helmet. Craig climbed on behind Karl, put his hands on his waist. Karl fired the engine. It came to life and they roared out into the evening. He liked the feeling of Craig pressed tight behind him.

The bar was an out of the way one, dark and quiet. Karl chose a table so far back in the corner that the barmaid had to peep around to find them. After she had peeped and brought them a beer, they were alone with just a very dim light over their table.

**

"This is...cozy." Craig said, smiling at Karl. He would have said something witty, but all his wit seemed to have deserted him when Karl said hello.

Karl laughed. "A lot can be hidden in a place as dark as this one."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, I could kiss you right now and no one would even notice."

"You could?" Craig wondered if he sounded as breathless as he felt.

Karl leaned across the table and kissed his cheek. Innocent enough sounding, but there was nothing innocent about it. Craig could smell Karl's scent, feel his cheek touching him and those lips, god, they were soft and he wanted them to kiss them. He turned toward the kiss, his mouth touching Karl's.

He gasped when he felt a hand on his thigh. It started just above his knee. Instant hard on. Karl slipped his tongue between Craig's lips when he gasped. The hand slid up slowly, fingers tracing patterns on his jeans, never quite reaching up far enough. Craig shifted in his seat, pushing himself toward the hand. Karl moved his hand back a bit and bit the tip of his tongue gently, but bit it just the same.

Craig moaned. Karl's hand slid up and cupped him, rubbed him, hard. His hips moved on their own, pressing harder against Karl's palm. Then he felt tugging. Oh fuck, Karl was unzipping him! The kiss deepened, tongues battling, stroking, sucking. Karl's hand wrapped around him, squeezing him.

He pulled back from the kiss.

"Karl, if you don't st- ohhhh, fuck, Karl!" He was coming, oh fuck, so good. Karl kissed him to stop him from moaning out loud.

When Craig was done, Karl brought his hand up to his mouth and licked the sticky semen from his fingers then kissed Craig again. He tucked a messy Craig back into his pants.

"Wanna get out of here?" Karl asked, voice low with his own arousal.

"Where to?"

"Outside."

Craig threw some money on the table and they ran out, Karl grabbing Craig's hand and pulling him around to the back of the building.

**

Karl had no idea when he'd been so out of control. His hands were shaking as he pushed Craig against the building. He leaned close, so close that Craig couldn't even move. He kissed the shorter man, a hard, hungry kiss full of demands, wants. Craig's arms snaked up and around his neck as Karl ground into him.

"Wanna fuck you, Craig, so bad, please."

Karl knew he was begging, and he didn't really care. He just wanted Craig to say yes, wanted to be inside the other man, sheathed in that dark, smooth tunnel. He reached down between them and freed his cock. Craig was hard as a rock again too. So soon.

"Please," he whimpered as he rubbed himself against Craig.

Craig pushed Karl away just far enough that he could turn to face the wall. Craig unzipped his pants, and Karl slid them down to his knees. Karl was so frantic to be inside him that was prodding against him immediately. His head was slick and wet with pre-come, and he spit on one hand, wetting himself as much as he could. He pushed into Craig.

**

Damn!

It hurt.

But not that bad, not nearly enough to stop the pleasure that shot through him every time Karl managed to hit his prostate. He put his hands on the wall to brace himself, but Karl was holding him up, lifting him up with each thrust and holding him in an iron grip.

Neither of them could do more than make sounds, grunts and groans and growls of pleasure. Karl jerked hard one last time and pinned him against the wall, crying out Craig's name.

**

Sweet hot ecstasy shot through Karl. It was so intense that he had to lean on Craig to stand. When he finally stopped moving, he pulled out of Craig and still stood pressed against him, his head against the back of Craig's head as he tried to catch his breath.

"I want you to inside me now. I need to... to... Do you want me, Craig?" he gasped out between breaths against Craig's ear.

"Oh god, Karl," was his answer. Karl took it as a yes. He dropped to his hands and knees in the dirt beside the back of the building, sliding his pants down as he did so.

**

Craig felt like he was going to melt. He was as hard as a horny teenager, and Karl, oh Jesus, Karl was perfection. He got on his knees behind Karl. He was shaking as badly now as Karl had been earlier. He was dripping pre-come as he found Karl's tight opening and pressed into it. How tight he was! As soon as he was sheathed completely inside, he began to move. He began with a slow rocking rhythm that soon gave way to a faster, harder pace. Before he realized it, he was pounding in Karl hard enough to knock him onto the ground, falling on top of him without ever missing a thrust.

Sweat ran down his face, and he panted as he shifted his position enough to make Karl scream his name and tighten reflexively around him, making Craig come. He throbbed inside Karl as his semen filled him, white and hot; until there was nothing left. He collapsed on Karl's back for a moment, until he heard the sound of a door closing and looked up to see the back door of the bar being slowly closed.

"Someone was watching us."

"That would be Rosy, the barmaid. She came to the table while I was wanking you. I just didn't have the heart to say anything. You're so fucking hot when you come."

They got up, dusted themselves off and climbed on that demonic bike of Karl's and went home to a warm shower and bit more hot loving before they finally slept.
