Title: E is for Envelope
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mysteriousaliwz
Fandom: Primeval
Pairing: Lester/Lyle
Rating: NC17
Author Notes: For [livejournal.com profile] joereaves as a (very, very belated) birthday present. Possibly for the birthday before last. I never was all that good at deadlines *sheepish grin*. Prompt ‘Surprise’.
Lester and Primeval don’t belong to me (sadly); Lyle belongs to the inimitable [livejournal.com profile] fredbassett.
Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] fredbassett for sharing him with us, and for betaing this.
Warning for Fakey: Mention of anteaters.

~~~~~~~~



Lester made an irritated ‘tch’ sound as he leafed through the paperwork in front of him.

“So the M.O.D. in its wisdom has decided that the anomaly project can function perfectly well for a month without four of its assigned Special Forces personnel. I suppose I am to be grateful that they gave me thirty whole minutes’ notice that you would be hauled off on some secret assignment.”

Lester glared accusingly across the desk at us. Discretion being the better part of valour, I refrained from pointing out that my colleagues and I didn’t have any say in the matter, ours is not to reason why and all that.

“They will be assigning you two temporary replacements, sir,” pointed out Ryan.

Lester was not mollified.

“That is hardly adequate. By the time Professor Cutter has talked them out of killing the creatures on sight, and I have persuaded them not to hit Professor Cutter over the head every time he is being irritating, tempting though that might be, the month will be almost up. “

The glower of disapproval directed at the forms on his desk was so tangible that I half-expected them to curl up at the corners and burst into flames.

Again, silence seemed the most judicious option at this point.

He heaved a resigned sigh.

“Well, go and pack your kit or clear your lockers, or whatever it is you have to do. Good luck, and I’ll see you in a month. Dismissed.”

I turned to leave.

“Not you, Lieutenant Lyle, if I might have a word …?”

“Sir?”

…..

I followed him down the corridor and into the stationery cupboard.

“Cotton, I believe, for one year. Or paper. Although since there seems to be a dearth of cotton items in here, we shall have to opt for paper,” he said.

He picked up a pad of post-it notes and tucked it into one of the pockets on my tac-vest.

I grinned at him.

“You brought me in here to give me post-its?”

“Well, I did have other plans for this evening. But in view of the circumstances I shall have to improvise. Needs must.”

He pushed me back against the wall, sank to his knees, and pulled down my zip. I could feel my breath hitch as he tugged down my waistband, fished out my cock and licked a swathe along the length of it, from root to tip, warmth washing through me. It twitched under his fingers, filling and hardening. His tongue swirled around the head, the tip of it teasing inside my foreskin until I was so hard that the foreskin was pulled right back. It felt ... wonderful.

I bit my lip, trying to keep quiet - that door didn’t look particularly solid, so I had my doubts as to how soundproof it was - an attempt that lasted right up to the point where he took me into his mouth and sucked.

“Oh God, James,” I moaned, clutching at his hair.

He alternated licking and sucking, pressing his tongue up against the underside of the head, pushing my cock up against the ridges on the roof of his mouth. Arousal shuddered through me in waves, so hot and sweet, the wet heat of his mouth so beautiful ... until orgasm finally crashed through me and my vision whited out and I came.

Weak-kneed and gasping, bare-arsed against the wall, I clung to his shoulders while he got to his feet. We kissed then, long and slow and gentle, the taste of my come on his lips, my tongue tracing the sharp edges of his teeth until we had to come up for air.

“You do realise, sweetie, that you’ve just landed me with one hell of a stationery fetish?” I said. “I won’t be able to think of post-its or stationery cupboards without getting a hard-on.”

“In that case, it’s just as well you’re a soldier and not a civil servant,” he replied.

Getting my breath back, I brushed my hand over the hardness at his groin, but he grasped my fingers and held them still.

“No, not now. When you come back.”

“When I come back,” I agreed.

I curled my hand around the back of his head, and pressed our foreheads together for several long, silent moments before we finally broke contact.

His lips brushed against my ear, the touch on my over-sensitized skin making me shiver.
“Happy Anniversary, Jon,” he whispered.

He zipped me back up and stepped back, smoothing down his ruffled hair, and then turned and opened the door. I watched him standing there in the doorway, making a minute adjustment to the knot of his tie, that tongue-in-cheek half-smile I had come to know so well playing about his lips.

“Do try not to get yourself killed, Lieutenant - the paperwork involved in arranging for a replacement for you would be truly appalling.”

He strolled away down the corridor, looking as immaculate as ever. I sank back against the shelves, feeling distinctly rumpled in comparison.

This was going to be a very long month.

Anteaters! Gotta love the little chaps. *g*

This was lovely :) There was something really sweet and touching about Lester leaving his own pleasure until Lyle comes home safely. Aw ... *huggles the boys*

Thank you! It's a bunny that has been lurking in the undergrowth for a long, long time :)

LOL thanks for warning me about the anteater but nothing can keep me from Lester/Lyle porn. Not even an ugly dick. ;-)

*fans self*

Do we get to see the reunion, hm?

I'm glad you liked it, despite the anteater. Forewarned is forearmed *g*

Um, considering this bunny has been lurking around for what feels like a couple of years before being finished, I wouldn't hold your breath!

Love it! And yay for anteaters *g*.

I shall never be able to look at post-it notes now without thinking of Lester and Lyle in the stationery cupboard!

*pets the friendly wee anteater*

Lester seems to get on well with Lyle's anteater *g*

This is the second fic I've set in a stationery cupboard. Maybe I should be starting to worry about my own stationery fetish?

LOL! [livejournal.com profile] bigtitch and I were discussing our stationery fetish this weekend! One of the highspots of our trip to France to stay with Fred and Mr FB was a visit to a humungous stationery superstore with all the fab notebooks!

I'm not familiar with Clairfontaine, but from the amount of dribbling going on I would guess that's a good thing? *g*

Clairfontaine do *the* smoothest, silkiest writing paper you'll ever come across. Absolutely pornographic!

Oh god, that was wonderful! My little heart almost broke at their tender little forehead moment *wibble*

First person Lyle was a *real* treat - you nailed it, baby. Thank you sooo much.

“That is hardly adequate. By the time Professor Cutter has talked them out of killing the creatures on sight, and I have persuaded them not to hit Professor Cutter over the head every time he is being irritating, tempting though that might be, the month will be almost up. “
LMAO!!!

Brilliant. Just brilliant. I think I definitely need to kidnap you and lock you in a tower to write fic for us :D

Angst, Lester/Lyle style :) I figured the conversation would be fairly flippant, but there would be a lot of unspoken feeling under the surface. *huggles them*

I'm so glad you said I nailed Lyle's POV, I was worried about him being in character.

Thanks :)

Some days that tower sounds very appealing *g*

This is great! I love the way Lester seems to blame the soldiers for an assignment they couldn't choose. Even better is when Lester takes Lyle to the stationary cupboard and gives him post-it notes to mark their one-year anniversary! Too funny! *g* Of course, the sex is totally hot! I agree with [livejournal.com profile] fredbassett that Lester is just so sweet to postpone his own pleasure until Lyle returns home safely. :-)

I don't suppose you'd consider writing a sequel...?

Thank you!
Lester is not a very happy bunny for some unaccountable reason *g* Safest to take cover if at at all possible when he's in a mood.

With those last-minute change of plans, I don't suppose he had a lot of choice when it came to anniversary pressies :)

Lyle has to come home if he has unfinished business *nods*

I haven't got any thoughts of a sequel for this one at this point (and the bunny for this fic lurked for well over a year), but if you feel inspired to write one, feel free!

Yummy fic. Loved Lester blaming the solsdiers for being sent off on a mission. And the hot sex and waiting until Lyle came back for his own pleasure - telling Lyle to come home safe. *purrs* Do we get to see the reunion?

From: [identity profile] mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com
Thanks :) Lester is Not Amused at the news. I think they know by now not to take it personally :)

It will be a very long month for both of them, I think.

I hadn't thought as far as a sequel - do feel free to write one, if the muse inspires you!

I think they know why he's so not the happy bunny.

*sigh* my muse isn't answering the phone and the bunnies have all swanned off to warmer climes.

Squeee! And I wouldn't worry about it being late. I owe my beta fic from last year's birthday (last January so it's 18 months late now).

You rock and this was adorable. *hugs Lester for being worried* *snickers at the anteater warning*

God I feel sorry for those two temporary replacements, between Lester glaring at them for the entire month for *not being Lyle* and having to deal with Cutter and everything ...

Well, you did give 'Surprise' as the prompt - so you've ended up with a stealth ninja birthday fic that jumps out on you when you're least expecting it, six and a half months after the original request.
Ahem.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Gosh yes, those poor guys - giant, predatory dinosaurs will be the least of their worries *g*

As a American living in the Midwest I must admit I have never met an anteater up close and in person, as circumsizm is quite popular here. Thats not to say I would be adverse to making ones aquaintance. *G*

Fictions like this are the reason! Your one year anniversary
conversation between two men who have issues with voicing their emotions was spot on. You had no reason to worry about you Lyle first person it was brilliant!

Spreading the anteater love! *grins*

I don't see them as the type to go in for emotional speeches, but there's a lot of unspoken feeling going on there. I'm very glad to hear you liked it - thanks for commenting :)

Thanks m'dear :)

You lot and your kitten eyes and poking for a sequel! I didn't have any thoughts of a sequel when I posted this, but everyone demanding to see the reunion generated a bunny that popped up at work and bit me in the ankle, the little sod. I had to spend part of my lunch break making notes so it wouldn't bugger off into the undergrowth again before I had a chance to write it :) Hopefully it won't take as long to get part two written as it did part one.

Just lovely. ^.^

I keep getting ambushed by bunnies that demand to be written as dialogue-only or first-person POV or chronologically back-to-front. I have no idea what my muse is on, but it must be strong stuff.

This isn't the first time I've set a fic in a stationery cupboard. I've concluded I probably have a thing for stationery as well.

Mmmm, post-its ...

LOL! My muse goes through phases of that too. Must be a dealer lurking around Denial somewhere... xP

Hee! Orly? *must go look now*
