Chris was dead tired. The stagecoach robbers he and Vin had been chasing had escaped. Vin had lost the trail during the night when it started to rain. When the weather got colder and turned to snow Chris had called it quits. Vin was still determined to go after them but Chris knew it was hopeless. Chris hunkered down in his coat to get warm. He glanced at Vin riding ahead and saw the tracker was swaying in the saddle. Chris smiled knowing he was probably sleeping. The gunslinger recognized the scenery and figured they were about three hours from town. The snow was still falling and Chris sighed, three hours was going to seem like forever.The two riders came to a small river and Vin tapped his heels to his horse. The animal was reluctant to enter. Chris smiled; he didn't blame him, that water was going to be cold. Chris's horse followed behind with the same reluctance. Half way across the river Vin's horse slipped on a rock and went down. Vin was taken by surprise and throw into the icy water.
"VIN!" Chris yelled.
"Shit!" Vin cursed as he came up sputtering. "God damn that's cold!"
"Are you all right?" Chris asked in concern.
"Yeah I'm fine," Vin said. "But my horse ain't."
Chris could see the animal was favoring its right front leg as Vin led him out of the water. Once on the other side Vin leaned down to and ran his hand over the horse's leg. Chris could see his hands were shaking from the cold.
"I don't think it's broken," Vin replied though chattering teeth.
"Forget the horse we have to get you some place dry," Chris said as he dismounted.
Chris helped Vin back to his feet and gasped when he grabbed him by the coat. It was already starting to freeze. They didn't have any extra clothes with them and that worried Chris. If he couldn't get Vin warm and dry he didn't stand a chance. Vin huddle against the side of his horse for warmth. Chris pulled off the wet coat and put the wool serape that Josiah had given him over the tracker's head.
"Come we have to find a place to get out of the cold," Chris said.
"I got a place," Vin said. "Got a cave not too far from here that I use when I got hunting."
"Let's go before you freeze to death," Chris said pulling him towards his horse.
Vin went willingly and climbed onto Chris horse. Chris mounted behind him and wrapped his arms around the lean tracker. He wanted to provide Vin with some of the warmth form his body but he doubted it would help. Vin was shivering violently as Chris put heels to his horse and they moved out. Chris had tied the reins to Vin's horse to his saddle. Vin shivering was getting worse and Chris knew they had to find this cave quickly. Vin gave Chris directions and a short time later he could see the cave a long the rocks. Chris pushed his horse forward and they arrived at the mouth of the cave. He dismounted and helped the younger man off the horse. Chris could see Vin's lips were blue and he was very steady on that he was getting sleepy.
"Wake up Vin," Chris said slapping his face. "You can't fall asleep."
"So cold," Vin moaned.
"I know, cowboy," Chris said. "Let's get you inside."
Chris half carried the unresisting sharpshooter inside the cave. He was surprised to find Vin had the place set up with blankets and a supply of wood. Chris was thankful for the wood. He didn't think he would be able to find any that would burn outside. Chris began to strip Vin of his wet clothes. He knew the tracker was out of it because he didn't resist. Once Chris had him out of the wet clothes he wrapped Vin in the blankets and laid him down. As he was stripping Vin he found a lump on his forehead the size of a goose egg. Chris made a large fire close to Vin. When he had him as comfortable as he could he went out to get the horse. The cave was large enough to hold them as well. He got them settled then went out side to gather more wood. When he came back in he found that the cave was warmer. He dropped the wood by the fire so it would dry out then walked over to Vin.
"How ya doin', Vin?" Chris asked.
"Chris, that you?" Vin asked in confusion.
"Yeah Vin it's me," Chris said touching his shoulder.
Vin's skin was still cold to the touch and Chris cursed. He began to gently rub the tracker down to get him warm. When that didn't help Chris knew there was only one other thing to try. He stood up and began to remove his clothes. When he was naked he got in under the covers with Vin.
"I'm sorry Vin," Chris said looking at him. "It's the only way."
Chris sucked in his breath as he pulled Vin's cold body into his arms and began to rub his arms and back. Vin responded by wrapping his arms around Chris warm body. The feel of Vin's strong arms holding him started to stir something inside Chris. He forcefully put the thoughts out of his mind but his body betrayed him. The desire he felt for Vin was undeniable and Chris couldn't control his reaction. He felt the younger man stiffen in his arms when he realized what was happening but was surprised when he didn't pull away. Chris opened his eyes to find two incredibly large blue ones staring at him. The emotions fluttering across them were mirrored in his own.
"Chris?" Vin asked in a whisper.
"Hush Vin," Chris smiled and captured his mouth.
Vin stiffened in his arms and Chris thought that maybe he had read the signs wrong. Suddenly Vin relaxed and tentatively returned the kiss. His hands shyly explored Chris's body as they continued to kiss. Chris was becoming incredibly aroused from the feather light touches of Vin's hands. He ended the kiss and looked at Vin.
"What's wrong?" Vin asked worried.
"Nothing," Chris said. "I just want to make sure this is what you want."
Vin couldn't trust his voice so he nodded and began to blush. Chris hadn't been expecting that reaction and he found it arousing. Chris grinned wickedly down at Vin and he turned a deeper red. Chris laughed and claimed his mouth again and ran his tongue along Vin's lips. Vin opened his mouth and gasped as Chris plunged his tongue deep inside. Chris ran his hands up and down Vin's side and wasn't surprised to find Vin wasn't cold any more. He moved away from Vin's hot mouth and began to kiss down his neck until he came to the hollow along his neck and shoulder and began to suck and nip.
Vin gasped and arched his back in pleasure. Chris continued down along his chest and took one of his nipples in his mouth and began to suck on it. Vin squirmed under Chris attentions and moaned as he continued sucking on his right nipple while Chris pinched and squeezed his left one with his hand. Vin clutched the blankets in his hands as Chris continued down his body until he got to his belly button. Chris's tongue darted into it and Vin groaned.
He never knew that would feel so good. Chris continued down Vin's body avoiding his cock that was lying tight against his stomach. Chris could feel his tightening as well and knew he would need a release soon. He also suspected that this was Vin's first time with a man and wanted him to experience the pleasures first. Chris kissed along his inner thigh and up to his balls. He took one in his mouth and began to suck on it.
"Chris!" Vin screamed as he came.
Chris could see his cock was spraying the creamy white fluid over his stomach. He had no idea Vin had been the close to releasing his seed. When he looked up into Vin's eyes he saw he was embarrassed. Chris watched, as Vin's cock became flaccid.
"I'm sorry, Chris," Vin said blushing. "For what?" Chris smiled as he looked down at him.
"For…..well you…. AW Hell!" Vin cursed and covered his eyes with his hands.
"It's alright Vin," Chris said. "Now I have the fun of starting over again."
"Chris I don't think," Vin began and stopped.
"I know this is your first time Vin," Chris said in understanding. "But you know I won't hurt you."
"I know Chris," Vin sighed. "I just don't want to disappoint you."
"Don't worry you won't," Chris smiled.
Chris kissed him and Vin plunged his tongue inside Chris's mouth. Chris returned the sentiment and their tongues wrapped around each other. Vin got a little carried away and the knocked their teeth together. He blushed and tried to apologize causing Chris to growl. Vin laughed causing Chris to moan, as he was aroused even more.
"God Vin I need to be inside of you," Chris said.
Chris began trailing kisses down his body. When he came to Vin's seed on his stomach he ran his fingers through it to use as lubrication. He kneeled between Vin's legs and pulled his butt into his lap. Chris coated Vin's opening and slowly pushed his finger inside. Vin gasped and Chris felt resistance to the intrusion.
"Easy Vin, relax," Chris said as he leaned over and kissed Vin.
When he felt Vin relax and push back on his finger he inserted another. The resistance was less but Chris knew if he didn't stretch Vin it was going to hurt when he tried to enter. Chris began teasing his nipples by sucking and nipping at them. Vin groaned and Chris felt him relax more. Chris spread his two fingers and pulled them out and pushed them back in. When he thought Vin was ready he added a third. He smiled when felt no resistance this time. Chris started a rhythm with his fingers. He was looking for a particular spot and knew he hit it when Vin bit his lip so he wouldn't scream.
"Go ahead, Vin, ain't nobody gonna hear you out here," Chris laughed.
Chris pulled his fingers out and plunged them in again and this time Vin did scream.
"Oh God Chris, I can't wait any longer," Vin pleaded.
"Easy there, Vin, hold on," Chris said.
He wanted to be inside his partner when he climaxed this time. Chris again pulled him onto his lap so he could get easier access to his opening. Chris coated his cock with Vin's seed and spread the tip with the juices that were leaking from it. He pushed against Vin's opening and met resistance. Chris pushed more and his cocks head gain entrance. Vin gasped as he felt a burning sensation.
"No Chris," Vin moaned. "It hurts."
"I know," Chris said. "Just relax."
Chris took Vin's balls in his hand and lightly massaged them. He felt Vin relaxed and he slowly pushed in more. Chris knew this first time would hurt the smaller man but Chris also knew it would be pleasurable once past this part. He continued to kiss and tease Vin until he was fully inside. He didn’t try anything else until he sensed Vin was ready. He grabbed Vin's cock and began to stroke it.
Once Chris started to bring him to arousal Vin couldn't help but push against Chris. That was all the signal Chris needed and he slowly pulled out of the tight passage. Vin moaned and pushed back against him and they started a rhythm. Finally Chris couldn't hold back any more and he slammed in and out of the younger man as he continued to stroke his cock. Vin moaned as he came and Chris felt Vin tighten around his embedded cock. Chris knew he was going to come and pushed deep inside to release his seed. Chris collapsed against Vin gasping for breath. He felt Vin under him trying to catch his as well.
After a few minutes Chris reluctantly pulled out of the tracker and lay next to him. He could see Vin had his eyes closed and a content smile on his lips. Chris leaned up on his elbow and used one of the blankets to wipe them down. He saw that the fire was going down and got up to throw more wood on it. He crawled back under the covers and lay on his back. He pulled Vin across his chest and Vin lay wit his head over Chris's heart and hugged him tight.
"I sure ain't cold any more," Vin said.
"Don't go getting any ideas about jumping in the river so I have to warm you up again," Chris grumbled.
"What you didn't like it?" Vin asked innocently.
"I liked it fine," Chris said. "You don't need to catch your death for me to do this again."
"That's good to know," Vin said lazily. "So tired."
Chris could feel Vin relaxing against him. The tracker was making lazy circles on his chest that were sending tingling sensations all over Chris's body. Finally they stopped and Chris knew Vin was asleep. He pulled the tracker higher so that his head was tuck under his chin. Chris kissed the top of his head and listened to the wind howl outside. He pulled the blankets tighter around them and got comfortable. Looked like they were going to be here for awhile. Vin's warmth and steady breathing finally lulled Chris to sleep.
