Standing in the bedroom doorway Jesse watched as Brennan slowly stripped off his clothes. Each garment was peeled off and thrown in an untidy heap on the floor, until Brennan stood clad only in black boxer shorts.

Fatigue hung heavy on the dark haired mutant, his whole body seemed weighed down, tiredness a burden on his wide shoulders. Sighing softly he moved backwards until he hit the bed, letting his body drop until he lay curled on the bedclothes.

"Bad mission Babe?"

Brennan raised his head slightly to look at Jesse.

"You've no idea Jess. The whole thing was a farce from beginning to end. Ekhart's goons managed to get the drop on us, then one of the bastards managed to get me from behind with a stun gun. You know electric mightn't kill me but it fuckin' hurts. Then to round the whole thing off, and this is after I had the shit kicked out of me after being hit by the stun gun, I managed to slip in a puddle of oil. Have you seen my clothes Jess? They're ruined. So yeah it was a bad mission."

Brennan looked as disgusted as Jesse had ever seen him. He would have been tempted to laugh if it wasn't for the lines of pain that crossed Brennan's face.

"You were hit by a stun gun? Hell, Bren, why aren't you in the medical area? That could have done some serious damage."

Jesse was concerned as he looked at his lover. Brennan was obviously in pain, but Jesse knew how stubborn he could be about getting medical treatment. It wouldn't have surprised him if Brennan hadn't sneaked away from Adam as soon as they landed.

"Hello, Jess, I'm an elemental remember. Electricity won't hurt me that bad. I'm okay really.

Seeing the disbelieving look on Jesse face Brennan continued, deciding he'd better just tell the truth.

"Look, Jess, I'm tired, I ache in more places that I care to think about, I smell of oil and the last thing I want to do is get stuck in that room with Adam and Emma clucking over me. I just want a shower and to go to sleep. Is that okay with you?"

Jesse remained unconvinced, Brennan really did look tired, but he also knew how he would gloss over his real feelings. Plus the way he lay, hunched over at the waist, suggested that his back hurt much more than he would admit.

"Will you let me check you over at least?"

Brennan sighed again, seemingly resigned to having Jess look him over.

"Ok, you can have a quick look, but no more right. I just want to sleep."

Pleased that for once he'd managed to get Brennan to do what he wanted Jesse approached the bed. As he came closer he had to force himself not to gasp at the sight of Brennan's body. The smooth back that he'd spent hours licking and stroking was marred by a huge bruise that started just above his ass, and extending far up his back Along with that were multiple smaller bruises that dotted Brennan's body in random patterns.

"God Bren, if this is you ok, I'd hate to see you badly hurt."

Jesse couldn't stop himself speaking. Brennan was obviously injured more seriously than he had admitted.

"I'm going to get Adam, he needs to see this Bren."

"No he doesn't. It's a bruise okay, a big fuckin hurting bruise but just a bruise. I'm okay Jesse. I don't need to be in the medical room. I need to be here, in my bedroom. I just want to lie on my bed and forget today happened. I want...I just want to be alone with you right now. Can you understand that?"

Jesse felt a huge smile break over his face. Brennan had never admitted that he needed him before and it felt good. More than good, it felt great. He could look after Brennan for tonight, be the strong one, tend all his hurts.

"Ok you win, we'll stay here. I'm still going to get something for those. Do you have any liniment?"

"I've lube, will that do?"

"Lube! You don't put that on..."

Getting the feeling that his leg was being pulled Jesse shot a look at Brennan. Confronted with a huge grin and sparkling eyes he grinned back, pleased to see something other than eyes screwed tight with pain.

"Lube eh, what kind do you think will work best? Raspberry, coconut, chocolate? It's your choice Bren."

Jesse watched as Brennan pretended to think over the choices before giving in to the laughter that lurked.

"Stop makin me laugh, ow that hurts."

"I'm sorry babe, so what about something to ease the swelling. Do you have anything or not?"

"Look in the closet, there should be something in there from last time that I sprained my wrist."

Walking to the closet Jesse rummaged amongst the clothes until he found the tube of ointment pushed amongst Brennan's underwear. Checking quickly that he had the right stuff he walked back to the bed.

"Ok hot stuff, can you roll over onto your stomach?"

Watching Brennan turn onto his stomach made Jesse's cock stir in his pants. Even covered in bruises and in obvious pain he could turn Jesse on just by moving. Drinking in the sight of Brennan lying nearly naked on the bed, Jesse squirted some liniment into his hand and kneeled down next to him.

"I'm just going to rub this in ok. Tell me if I hurt you too much."

Seeing the nod of accent Jesse began stroking his hands over the worst of the bruises, gently rubbing in the liniment. Brennan lay boneless, only occasional hisses of pain signifying he was awake.

"That still ok?"

"It's more than ok Jess, it's so much better than lying in the lab. Oh yeah, that the spot, just keep rubbing there."

Jesse smirked as he noticed the skin under his hands was unmarked. If that's the way Brennan wanted to play it he wouldn't object. His own cock was rock hard after all the stroking he'd been doing. He longed to grab Brennan, and screw him into next week. Make him forget about what a bad day he'd had.

Unfortunately common sense told him that there was no way Brennan was up to having wild sex whatever his libido was saying. That was fine, no one could say that Jesse wasn't inventive. He could make this good for both of them.

Just lie still babe, let me do all the work. You like me stroking you like that do you? You're so beautiful Brennan, so perfect. I love you so much. Let me make you feel good, just let go."

Feeling muscles relax under his fingers Jesse began moving his fingers further down, easing under the elastic of Brennan's shorts at every downward stroke.

"Mmmmm don't stop."

"I'm not going to stop, no worries about that. Can you lift your hips a little so I can take these off you? That's great, god Brennan you're so perfect. How did I get so lucky to have you?

Jesse pulled down Brennan's shorts with a quick tug, dropping them on the floor. His eyes roamed hungrily over the naked body in front of him, itching to touch and suck at skin. Carefully he began rubbing gentle fingers between Brennan's ass cheeks.

"I love you so much, I hate to see you hurt. You have to be careful for me ok; I don't know what I'd do without you. Panting softly Brennan angled his head so he could see Jesse's face.

"I'll promise to be careful and I'll never leave you, not if I can help it. Shit that felt good, do it again. You're making me so hot babe, I want you inside me now."

Jesse stopped and looked at Brennan. The mutant was totally relaxed, arms loose against his sides. Wanting nothing more than to bury himself in that willing ass, Jesse had to stop himself from jumping up and thrusting in. His cock ached with need, as he rubbed it gently against the bedside.

"Is that such a good idea? You're still hurt you know. I might do more damage."

"There's no way you'd hurt me babe, we'll take it slow. I just need you so bad. Don't make me beg for this, just fuck me already."

The desperate cry ended Jesse's indecision, Brennan looked so wanton, humping the bed in frustration. He couldn't say no to him anymore.

"I'll fuck you gorgeous but you let me do all the work. Just lie back and let me love you."

Pulling a pillow forward Jesse pushed it under Brennan's hips, hands shaking as he gently moved his body until he lay exposed on the bed, ready for Jesse to take him. Hands clumsy with need Jesse pulled his own pants down, then tore his t-shirt over his head. Now that he was only seconds away from fucking that beautiful ass he couldn't wait to plunge inside. Stopping to grab the lube he knew was stashed in the bedside table he quickly squirted some of the slick stuff over his fingers and cock.

Knowing that Brennan would still be stretched from their sex session last night Jesse carefully climbed on the bed behind him, slowly pressing the head of his cock between those tempting cheeks. Pushing in with one easy stroke, he stopped when his balls lay flush against skin. The heat and tightness was wonderful, it was all that he could do not to thrust hard and fast, creating a delicious friction against his rigid cock.

"You feel so good, so hot, I just wanna screw you until you scream, fuck your ass until you can't talk any more."

Talking aloud Jesse started moving, slowly at first, then more quickly. Driving himself over and over into his lover. Grabbing Brennan's hips allowed Jesse to thrust harder, pulling Brennan to him with every movement. Both men were covered in sweat, eyes closed, panting for breath as they neared climax.

"I love fucking you so much, love you so much."

"Love you too Jess, now do that harder babe, that's it, drive me wild."

Feeling his balls begin to tighten Jesse started thrusting faster, every stroke deep, savage and hard. He forgot that he was trying to be gentle, instead needing to satisfy the lust that burned through his body.

Feeling his climax building he became wilder still. Moaning aloud, talking words of nonsense.

"Love you, love fuckin you, love your ass, your body, love everything."

With a cry Jesse came, spilling hot come inside Brennan. He felt exhausted but exhilarated at the same time. Fighting the urge to drop onto Brennan he carefully pulled his cock out then collapsed to lie next to him.

Looking into smiling eyes and a sweaty flushed face, Jesse was suddenly afraid he'd gone too far.

"God, I never hurt you did I? You were hurt; you didn't need me getting rough on you...hell I didn't even make sure you'd come. I'm sorry Bren"

"You've nothing to be sorry for Jess, I wanted this, I asked for it remember. You haven't hurt me at all. In fact I feel much better than I did. Maybe I should tell Adam that sex is an excellent pain killer."

Seeing Brennan did look relaxed and pain free reassured Jesse he hadn't hurt him more. In fact he looked so relaxed that he was about to drop asleep.

"No you don't Bren. You need to get cleaned up before you go to sleep. You don't want to get stuck to the sheets again do you."?

"I don't wanna move Jess."

"It's ok, I'll do it, just stay there."

Leaving Brennan dozing Jesse went to get a warm damp cloth from the bathroom. He would clean him up then let him sleep the pain away. Jesse felt good, the pain of seeing those injuries dispelled a little. He'd clean away the evidence of their lovemaking, then maybe snuggle next to Brennan to sleep. The perfect end to a not so perfect day.
