Abuse by: BGM NOTE: I needed some inspirational relief. If you consider this complete and uncreative smut, you're right on target. :) Julian's head knocked over the bed frame, wincing slightly. His fingers clawed through the bed sheets as pearls of sweat beaded his smooth brow. A single choke was wrenched from his throat as he was impaled, a mix of agony and ecstasy tainting his voice. Oh gods but he craved this. He begged for more, shouting as nails scratched down his back, as his own pleasure was ruthlessly pushed aside to make way for his lover's fire. He collapsed over the bed, tainted with his own blood from the earlier whipping. He cried for more, though for the moment his cries were spilling out of his mouth in the form of negations. To anyone observing, this was clearly a rape scene. Not just a feigned one ... and as it turned out, one WAS observing. The door hissed open, unlocked by security codes long forgotten by the DS9 crew but never by the Terok Nor computer. Garak burst into the room and rushed to Julian's side, flinging the abuser off his precious friend. The man retorted with an angry cry, trying foolishly to assail the Cardassian from behind. Garak growled and clenched his fists, eyes murderously dark. The Bajoran shied away, and finally fled from Julian's quarters. Sobbing, Julian was now the one to try and wrest a fight from his friend. Pounding over the hard chest, he continued crying. "Why?" he screamed, his voice nearly hysterical. "You have no right to barge in here and-" Garak pressed his hand gently over the doctor's mouth and stared without blinking into those wide, glassy hazel eyes. "Doctor ... Julian ... please. Calm down! I'm here ..." "I don't WANT you here!" Julian cried, wrenching the Cardassian's hand from his lips. Garak stared incredulously. "You WANTED to be raped then?" he asked, his voice edged with anger. "And make no mistake doctor, I distinctly heard you scream no several times ..." "But that was the whole POINT!" Julian barked, shoving Garak back, shame and anger warring over his crimson-hued face. "That's ... That's what I wanted," he blabbered, his sobs turning every word into serrated syllabels. The Cardassian looked at him with an odd look, his hands curling and uncurling into fists. "Julian ..." he whispered. Bashir turned away from his friend, shuddering as he pulled blankets over himself. "Go away ..." "We need to TALK about this Julian ... Look at yourself ... Dear Gul ... you're full of bruises." The Cardassian gently took Julian's arms, inspecting the nasty cuts and welts adorning his flesh. "Julian, this is not healthy. I would understand if this little episode was orchestrated as a game ... but this is beyond that isn't it?" Julian wrenched his arm away and dipped it into the covers, sobbing over the pillow. "You wouldn't understand." Garak rolled his eyes to the Heavens, as though to invoke assistance from the Deities above. "Julian, please ... LISTEN to who is speaking to you ..." he pleaded, shifting over the bed to inspect Julian's face. "I have been the abuser. I have known the psychology involved. You don't want this simply for the pleasure of it ..." No. He refused to believe it. Gentle creatures like Julian were NOT masochistic. They simply weren't. Sitting by Julian's side, Garak tried to ignore his own heat threatening to boil into an embarrassing erection. "I SAID you wouldn't understand, so leave me alone," the young man retorted, his face buried in the plush pillow. Garak growled and shoved him to the side, grasping narrow shoulders and pressing Julian's lithe frame into the bed with violence. "Now LISTEN to me Doctor," Garak barked, his tone devoid of any of its previous care. "You're a healer ... you practice psychology as well as medicine ... try seperating fantasy and reality for one moment and LOOK at what's happening ... you're covered in welts ... Gul only knows how frequently you permit this ... abuse on your person." With a sudden glare, Garak pressed Julian further into the bed, pressing close as his desire for the young man warred with his segrated sense of honor. "How long?" he hissed sharply, staring back into those frightened doe-eyes. When Julian lingered in his response, Garak rose his hand to slap him. "How LONG Doctor?" "I'd think it'd be obvious ..." he finally replied with a thin voice, his eyes closed with celestial fear. A thin sheen of sweat covered his bronze flesh, and he never looked more beautiful than he did now. Garak let his arm relax, his piercing predatory eyes sweeping round to glance at the door. "Well least you could have done is pick a Cardassian to fulfill your fantasies," he said quietly, a hint of his usual sardonic twist tainting the words. "There ARE no other Cardassians remember?" Julian reminded, still shivering under the Cardassian's body. Garak looked back, his lips pursed thoughtfully. After a moment, he silently begun to shake his head. Julian frowned up at him. "What's wrong?" Such fear ... such dread at being rejected. Guls but how Garak knew the feeling ... he had begun to think there was no chance with his beloved Julian, and here he had been at the mercy of an evident amateur, closing his eyes and imagining the Cardassian in his place. The mere thought of it made Garak want to slap Julian again. All this time ... He opened his eyes and stared down into liquid mahogany. "Amateur," he muttered simply, his hand tracing over a few welts in explanation. Julian shivered under him. "There ARE ways to fulfill your cravings without inflicting physical damage you know," Garak added, and was that an offer? The young man opened his eyes, biting his lower lip in child-like wonder. "Elim ..." he whispered, tipping his head forward. Garak refused the offer, tilting his head slightly, yet enough to make clear he didn't want to be kissed. Julian's head fell back against his pillow, a look of utter shame suffusing his features. "Before we do anything Julian, before we COMMIT to anything ... I want to be clear on one thing; no wounds. Ever. I shall not reduce myself into enjoying the sight of blood again. I made an oath to myself long ago ... and you're far too precious for me to tear ..." he whispered gently, the sapphire of his eyes turning loving for a split second before facades were erected. Julian nodded greedily, his eyes wide with overwhelming relief. "I promise ... I won't ever ask it ..." he said with equal care. "Oh Elim ..." he sighed, bending his neck to reach Cardassian lips. Garak made no move, waiting as Julian closed his eyes and pressed his lips to his. Pulling back slightly, Julian gave breath to a low, anticipatory moan and Garak closed his eyes. Stabbing forward once he kissed back before retreating ... then back again for a longer kiss. They dipped naturally back over the bed, Julian writhing slowly under the comforting weight of Garak's body. The Cardassian was kissing hungrily now, pressing his lips bruisingly against Julian's, teeth scraping, tongue possessing his entire mouth. Julian was deluged with lust, satisfying his own whims as he tried briefly to struggle, groaning when Garak simply slipped his hands over his wrists to keep him still. No wounds, ever ... but there was pain. Julian hissed into the darkness of his quarters, feeling Garak's teeth bite down over the curve of his shoulder, his grasp over his wrists tightening with steel talons. Julian was uncontrollable, writhing and squirming under his friend ... now his lover's ministrations. He was drowning ... he was with Garak and nothing else mattered. When he felt himself impaled by the Cardassian's scalding length, Julian let go of his voice, and the room filled with his verbal appreciation. Endless gratitude and love spilling forth from his lips as Garak rode him without mercy, fucking him with precise, stabbing thrusts, cold reptilian hands hooked over his knees to keep him still and spread. Julian tore through the linens with his nails, and before long he was descending the peak into a warm afterglow which almost never filled him during other encounters. Garak fell gracefully at his side, his arms wound around the narrow waist and his legs wrapped over and under Julian's own. Against his hip, the young man could feel the Cardassian's cock, wet and heated though satisfied. Fluttering his eyes closed he heard a murmur in his ear, then nothing as sleep invaded his consciousness. When he woke the next morning, he found his bed empty save for a single collar. He held it in his hands, feeling the smooth leather as it bent under his explorative fingers. He picked up the note which had been left with it and read aloud, "Dear Julian, a gift ... I had it transported here from my quarters. I had it all these years ... wanted to offer it to you but never had the courage. I'm sorry that the sole reason we were brought together had to be so gruesome, and I will stand by my promise: never shall I break your flesh or your heart my dear one. But your soul ... your devotion and your loyalty ... these I shall break and mould accordingly ... I have such things to show you, my dear. Sleep well, I know this is your day off. And watch your back my love, I lurk in every shadowed corner." Julian smiled, pressed the collar to his chest and let himself fall back into a smooth, untroubled sleep. END
