Lee Crane sat back in his specially made bathtub.  When he had moved into his apartment, the bathroom was adequate for a single man, but over the years it had proven  to not meet the needs of Lee Crane's virile relationship with his recently acquired lover.  Therefore, even though the expense was outrageous, a brand new bathroom with deluxe accommodations had appeared.
 
On this day, Lee Crane was blissfully grateful that his lover had convinced him that the old bathtub was just not large enough for two reasonably athletic men to have any chance of sharing and enjoying the bounty of their mutual admiration.  The humongous tub now dominated the light green and blue bathroom.  Crane loved the color  combination since it reminded him of his lover's eyes and the sea green foam of the
ocean that both he and his mate loved.
 
Today, however, Lee Crane occupied the large tub on his own.  His lover, as usual, had work to do at the Institute after the completed mission so Crane had decided to head for the tub and wash off the lingering residue from one more mission, dealing with several monsters of mayhem.  Normally, Crane would have headed for the luxurious Jacuzzi in the penthouse master bedroom, but after the near strangulation of his body by a creature that was a cross between an octopus and a shark, Crane's ribs and his mind felt the need for a little quiet and some privacy.
 
As Crane laid his dark curls, running along the nape of his neck, on the rim of the back edge of the tub, he sighed as the bliss of water exactly the right temperature flowed over his nude body.  His entire body seemed to creak from his wrestling match with the under seas creature.  The rapture was so great that Crane closed his eyes and emitted a satisfied moan of pleasure.
 
For the next several minutes, the slim figure did nothing but relax, slinking ever further into the warm lure of the scented water.  Suddenly, two hands covered Crane's closed eyes, and a voice that Crane knew better than his own spoke, "Guess who?"
 
Crane smiled; his face taking on a look of thinking.  Quietly, but decisively Crane said, "Uh, Admiral Starke?"

The short, stubby fingers continued to cover his eyes, but the beloved voice said decisively, "NO!"
 
Crane was enjoying himself immensely so he guessed again, "Chief Sharkey?"
 
For that response Crane suffered the tweaking of one of his by-now rather wet curls. "NO!"
 
Crane decided that perhaps there had been enough teasing.  The brunet was well aware of the insecurity that his lover still felt about their relationship.  Their age difference and the difference in their rank had been major factors in keeping the two men apart for many years.
 
Crane pulled his hand out of the water and pulled one of his lover's hands to his lips.  His pink tongue protruded slightly from his luscious lips as he licked the callous on Nelson's palm.  Then with a sensual whisper, Crane said, "My lover, my life, and my soul."
 
For a moment there was absolute silence in the room, but as Crane turned to look into the face of the man he loved totally and completely, he could see the jeweled drops in the blue eyes that revealed the loving worship and adoration housed there.  Crane smiled his most brilliant, leaning forward to gently kiss Harriman Nelson's lips.  After breaking the embrace, Crane whispered, "Oh Harri, I love you."
 
Nelson brought the slender figure back into his arms, holding him tightly against his chest.  "I love you too, Lee.  Sorry, I was late, but I had several phone calls."
 
Crane sat up on his knees beginning to disrobe his lover.  With practiced ease, four-star Admiral Harriman Nelson was disrobed and found himself sitting with his back against the tub; the delightfully wet Lee Crane encircled in his arms.
 
For the next several minutes, silence reigned in the room; both men enjoying the peace and tranquility of each other's company.  Finally, Nelson cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "Lee, . . . uh, why didn't you go to the penthouse.  I was expecting you there."
 
The handsome man slid closer to his lover, murmuring, "Hmmm!  I needed to be by myself; needed some time to think, so I came here.  I left a message for you."
 
Crane could feel Nelson nod, but he could also hear the apprehension in his voice.  "Lee, . . . you aren't getting tired of us . . . of me, are you?"
 
Crane closed his eyes as he realized the insecurity that had been revealed in those words.  Turning in Nelson's arms, he began kissing the chest covered with auburn hair and sucking the neat brown nipples that were singing their siren song to his heart.  As Crane's lips crept further up the stocky body, Crane began to mumble into the chest he was devouring. "No way, lover.  I could eat you up, but when I'm with you I can't think; all I want to do is make love to you.  See?"
 
With those words, Crane's right hand began to caress Nelson's groin area.  Nelson's penis reacted promptly to the almost agonizing stimulation.  Nothing had ever felt so good and the aroused hardness testified to Nelson's pleasure.
 
Crane cried out, "Need you!"  With remarkable speed Nelson did just that.  While plunging into the golden body of the man he loved, Nelson stroked Crane's manhood in a matching rhythm.  Time seemed to stand still and then both men reacted in a startling climax which erupted white streams of cream all over both bodies.
 
Crane collapsed back onto his lover as Nelson gently removed his organ from the magnificent butt of Lee Crane.  Both men gasped, entwined in each other's arms.  Nelson leaned over and kissed the now sweat covered forehead of his lover.  "Hmmm, that was so good, Lee, but now we'll have to have another bath.  We're sticky all over."
 
Crane laughed melodiously, "Oh my beautiful genius, sometimes you are so blind.  What do you think I was planning during all this time I was alone and had my privacy? I've thought out our agenda for the rest of this shore leave, and sharing another bath together is at the top of my list!!!"
 
Nelson laughed heartily, pulling the slim man into his arms.  "Lee Crane, now I know who the real genius is around here!"
