Summary:  The Wrath of Tom.
 

"O, never say that I was false of heart,
Though absence seem'd my flame to qualify.
As easy might I from myself depart
As from my soul, which in thy breast doth lie:
That is my home of love: if I have ranged,
Like him that travels I return again,
Just to the time, not with time exchanged,
So that myself bring water for my stain.
Never believe, though in my nature reingn'd
All frailties that besiege all kinds of blood,
That it could so preposterously be stain'd,
To leave for nothing all thy sum of good;
For nothing this wide universe I call,
Save thou, my rose; in it thou art my all."

Chakotay slumped down on the lounge in the ready room.  The verse was
addendum to Tom's formal request to be re-assigned to his cabin.
Once again the man had surprised and taught him something at the same
time.  Nothing was what it seemed.

He had needed Tom for so long that he hadn't really allowed himself
to believe the feeling could be reciprocated.  He'd actually been
waiting for his doubts to be confirmed and when he saw Tom with the
Mikan, he let himself to be blinded by fear and jealousy.  He read
the poem again.  It was obvious to him now that the man that had sent
this message loved him and it was his own insecurities that had
prevented him from believing that.

They would talk.  He would listen, forgive and then ask to be
forgiven.  Then maybe they could start over.

He returned to the bridge taking the PADD with him.

********

Wham!

Tom staggered back a few feet before approaching the door to his
quarters again.  The panels stayed resolutely shut.  He tried the
keypad, nothing.  It didn't recognize his access codes.

He slumped against the wall opposite his door in the corridor.  Oh
this was just fan fucking tastic.  The only thing that had gotten him
through a miserable day on the bridge was thought of spending a
miserable night in his own quarters.  At least Chakotay wouldn't be
there, his stoic presence reminding him of his screw up the previous
night.

There had been no meeting this morning as Seven had predicted.
Chakotay had tried, judged and sentenced him in absentia.  Two weeks
ago he would have accepted that but now it just pissed him off.
He'd made a mistake, OK a really big one, but he still deserved to
tell his side of the story before being condemned.

Well this time it was Chakotay that had made the mistake.  He was
going to hear his side even if he had to tie up him to do it.
Pushing the picture of bound naked commander from his mind and
damning his own incorrigibility; Tom strode down the hall to object
of his wrath.

Before he punched the door chime the doors slid opened.  Surprised,
he entered the cabin, turned and watched the doors close before
searching out his target.  The commander stood in the middle of the
room as if expecting him.

"Hello Poocuh."

On no he wasn't going let the man distract him with endearments, he
placed his hands on his hips and went into "Admiral" mode.

"OK here's the short version.  I fucked up, I'm sorry and it won't
happen again."  He got closer to the commander.  "But you fucked up
too.  You shouldn't have locked me out, you should have trusted me
and let me explain."

"I know, I'm sorry too."

Well that was a whole lot easier than he expected.  He felt his anger
bleed away as Chakotay took advantage of his proximity and stroked
the hair behind his ear.

"Tell me what you want Poocuh."

OK it was do or die time.  Tom took a deep breath.

"I want to be the ME that exists underneath all my smartass remarks
and sarcasm and bad memories and bullshit.  I've somehow managed to
save this part of myself and I want to share it with you."

Chakotay took Tom lips in a deep soul shattering kiss before framing
his face in his broad hands and looking at him with those rich ebony
eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you too Chakotay, I have for awhile now."

"I have something for you."

The commander took his hand and led him around to the lounge.  Once
they were seated he hand Tom his gift.

A data PADD?  Tom figured he'd have a thing or two teach the big guy
about romance.  He pressed the activate button and the message
appeared on the small screen.

"Request Approved."

********

"Chak?"

No answer.

"Chak, you awake?"

This time the lieutenant spoke the question with his fingers as
well.  He tickled the sensitive area behind the commander's balls.
The thick thighs spread and a soft moan escaped the man's mouth but
he still didn't wake.  A determined and very horny lieutenant stepped
up his carnal assault.  He licked his palm and wrapped it around
Chakotay's developing erection and brought his mouth closer to his
face whispering in his ear.

"Wake up baby so I can love you."

The body was responding to his touch but mind was still slumbering.
Tom nipped the earlobe.  That worked a little better.

"Tom?"  Sensation flooded the waking man's senses.  "Oh spirits Tom."

Chakotay was pulled from his back to lie on his side meshing into
Tom's lean hard body.

"You awake?"  Tom kissed him preventing him from responding
immediately.  When the lips started tracing the line of his jaw, he
spoke.

"Barely."

"That's OK, just lie back and I'll do the work."

Chakotay rolled back over and shut his eyes.  He heard a rustling and
then felt a hand slicking him with oil.  Suddenly there was
incredible heat engulfing him.  His eyes opened to sight of Tom
straddling him, and impaling himself on his cock.  His lover tossed
back his head and used gravity to take him deeper.  He thought
nothing could be better than this until Tom began to move.  Spirits
this was heaven.

Ignoring the ache in his legs Tom lifted himself and shifted until he
felt the head of Chakotay's penis hit his gland.  His world winnowed
down to that one sensation as repeatedly raised himself up and down
on thick cock filling him.

As Chak reached for his lover's erection it began to eject a pearly
white liquid.  He was so overcome by sight of his lover's orgasm and
he reached his own.  His roar mingled with Tom's screams.

He caught Tom as he swooned bringing his own little piece of heaven
to his chest.  Chak rubbed his back until his gulping breaths ceased
and the rhythm returned to some semblance of normalcy.

"Well that was new."

Tom peered up at him with one eye still closed.

"That's not a complaint is it?"

"Oh no, just an observation."

"Good.  Now stop talking, I need my sleep."

Fighting his instinct to get up a grab a towel, Chakotay let his
beloved drift into slumber.  Before succumbing himself he looked
heavenward as his mouth spoke silent words.   His guide heard them
anyway.
