Warnings: Slash, explicit sexual situations(lemons), cursing

Summary:Bartimaeus and Nathaniel have survived the fight with Nouda but how will the pair cope when Bart now has his own body? Will he be able to keep his powers? What caused this? And why can't Nat look him in the eye?

Last time:

Why were you ignoring me today, Natty-boy?

I don't want to let you go, Bartimaeus. God help me, I don't."

They fit so perfectly together and when Nathaniel snuggled closer Bartimaeus felt a deep contentment and satisfaction, that he hadn't felt in thousands of years,well up inside him, lulling him blissfully into sleep

~Nat~

The next morning Nathaniel woke up to warm arms encasing him and slow puffs of breath brushing the hairs at the back of his neck. Goosebumps danced across his skin and the black comforter down around his hips did nothing to help.

Unwilling to let the chance of seeing Bartimaeus' sleeping face pass, he slowly turned around, careful to not jostle the pliant body behind him. The face that could sometimes seem to haunted when awake was relaxed in a way Nathaniel knew no one else had ever seen, and breathing became just a little harder.

Nathaniel's breathing became labored as thoughts of Bartimaeus ran rampant through his head. His playful mask, sarcastic jabs, his face when he looked at him with lustful hunger.

His breath hitched when copper eyes opened and locked with his. His breath returned in a gasp as dazzling smile made its way across Bartimaeus' sleepy face.

~Bart~

Bartimaeus knew what Nathaniel was thinking. He could see it in his eyes and the contentment he had felt earlier came flooding back. He'd never let himself think on what it would feel like to wake up in a warm bed or to have someone care about him beyond whether or not he'd come back for another mission. He had known it was a hopeless dream that would be crushed cruelly if he let himself wish for it.

Now though. Now, he had it. Someone who cared. Too much if he remember Nathaniel's words from last night correctly. Someone to wake up to and whose smile made his heart beat faster in joy. Nathaniel was better than anything he;d never allowed himself to hope for. He wasn't perfect. In fact, he was an egotistical show-off who thought he knew better than everyone else. But he was also a boy afraid of being abandoned, a boy who had to take control in case he was left behind. Everything about him fit with Bartimaeus perfectly. He could make jabs about his style and not have to worry about him running off crying and still be allowed to comfort and love him when something bad happens.

Looking at him now, with tossled hair and a marked torso, Bartimaeus' lust flared to life again and memories of the night before started to harden his cock.

~Nat~

A low growl made its way to his ears and Nathaniel opened his eyes, wondering when he's closed them in the first place. The sight that met him made his cock twitch in interest. Bartimaeus was hovering over him, naked for all to see, his erection already at half-mast and Nathaniel felt his ass ache for it. He was still sore from the night before but the lust starting to cloud his mind pushed it away as it sang for Bartimaeus' touch.

"Bartimaeus," He managed to choke out past the lump lodged in his throat. He tried to convey all of his need into that one word but knew it was impossible as there was just too much.

Bartimaeus growled again, a rumbling sound coming from deep in his chest, as he lowered himself over Nathaniel until his lips were lightly brushing Nathaniel's ear.

"I'm going to make you scream my name until that's all you know," His husky voice sent shivers of delight down Nathaniel's spine and he whimpered pitifully, anticipation twisting his stomach into unbearable knots.

~Bart~

Bartimaeus trailed his lips down the smooth arched neck of his lover, searching for the spot he'd found last night that drove him crazy. He knew he'd found it when Nathaniel shuddered deeply and gasped his name out. Bartimaeus paused and spent several minutes biting, licking and kissing that one spot, reveling in the little noises of pleasure coaxed out from his partner.

He continued to make his way down the magician's body, searching for each spot that made would make his lover moan in pleasure and stopping at each to tease the nerves until all that was under him was a pile of goo, begging for him to touch the one place he knew needed the most attention.

Ever so slowly, Bartimaeus lowered himself until he was face to face with Nathaniel's jutting erection. There was precome collected on the tip like dew on a flower and Bartimaeus slowly licked it off being careful not to touch more than that, moaning as the bitter taste flooded his mouth. The hips beneath him bucked as Nathaniel crooned but he put his hand on a hip to hold him down securely. Looking up and catching Nathaniel's heated gaze, he slowly lowered his mouth until it was hovering above the slick tip of his lover, his breaths puffing out onto it and causing shivers to rack the body below him. A hand made its way into his hair, trying to push him down onto the beautiful cock but he resisted, wanting to see it begged for.

"Do you want me to do it? Do you want me to suck your cock into my hot mouth and pleasure you until you forget your name? Do you want me make you scream so much your voice will be hoarse after?" Bartimaeus smirked at the state his lover was in as he cried out for it, begging wantonly for the touch he was being denied.

He ignored his own aching arousal and set to work, sucking just the tip into his mouth and licking the slit, gathering the precome there before he pulled back and started on the shaft, licking with small precise movements of his tongue, spreading the bitter fluid around the cock until it was glistening in the low morning sunlight.

He hummed low in his throat with satisfaction before taking the whole thing into his mouth in one swift move. He hummed again with delight as the other's cries got louder and louder with each bob of his head and twist of his tongue until all he could hear were the sweet noises spilling from his lover's lips. His grip tightened as Nathaniel's hips started to jerk more roughly, signaling that the magician was close to his end.

Knowing how close he was, Bartimaeus took a deep breath and swallowed the swollen cock in his mouth to the hilt, the tip brushing the back of his throat.

"B-Bart-imaeus..I'm ..g-gonna.." The hand in his hair started yanking trying to pull him off. He swallowed once before pulling back just enough that he could swallow all of the come that came pouring into mouth. His moans joined Nathaniel's ragged gasps as he sucked everything in until there was nothing left.

He let the now soft cock out of his mouth with an obscene pop before lifting himself up to kiss the magician, letting him taste himself. They both moaned as their tongues fought before Bartimaeus won and started to map Nathaniel's mouth, occasionally letting his tongue flick up onto the pallet.

They separated when air became a necessity. Bartimaeus flopped down next to Nathaniel and pulled in to his chest, nuzzling into the inky black hair that smelled of sweat and sex.

~Nat~

Nathaniel started when he felt something hard poking into his thigh before he remembered that Bartimaeus hadn't gotten any release yet. He started to sink down to return the favor but Bartimaeus held him tight and wouldn't let him.

"Bartimaeus, you're still...." Nathaniel trailed off as Bartimaeus shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. I don't need you to force yourself to do something about it." Bartimaeus hugged him tighter and breathed deeply into his hair. "I can ignore it."

"But I..." Bartimaeus put a finger to his lips to stop him from talking and shook his head 'No' again. Suddenly a thought came to mind and he smiled mischievously before he sucked the finger on his lips into his mouth. He heard the gasp it gained and was inwardly gleeful while on the outside he was busy sucking the finger like a lollipop, rolling it around in his mouth. He grabbed the hand the finger belonged to and pulled it out of his mouth just enough to say " But Bartimaeus, I want to. You don't want me to pleasure you? Do you think I won't be good enough?" He slowly licked the finger again and added puppy eyes and a pout. He could see Bartimaeus' control snap and in a rush of movement found himself pinned beneath the tone egyptian body.

"You want me that much, huh?" Bartimaeus snarled. Nathaniel could only nod his head mutely, his whole body aching again to feel Bartimaeus everywhere. "You're wish is my command," he bit out, before slamming home into Nathaniel, dry and unprepared. Nathaniel screamed, body arched against the intrusion as pain sent pleasurable hazes through his body. His legs wrapped around Bartimaeus' waist, trying to pull him in deeper. Bartimaeus never paused and continued to pound his cock into Nathaniel's ass, the sound of slick skin slapping against each other echoing in the otherwise empty house with the harsh pants and groans from the two fucking on the bed,

"H-Harder... Oh gods, faster...Deeper. Bartimaeus!!" Nathaniel screamed Bartimaeus name and met each thrust with one of his own. He wanted to feel Bartimaeus deep enough that it felt like he was fucking his throat. As if reading his mind, or maybe he had said that in his rambling?, Bartimaeus grabbed the legs from around his waist and raised them onto his shoulders, bending over until Nathaniel was nearly bent in half. He thrust in deeper than before, hitting Nathaniel's prostate dead on and making him scream, his asshole trying to suck the burning cock deeper into himself and keep it there.

"Was this..." Bartimaeus panted "How you wanted me? Tell me." He accentuated the command with a harsher jab against his prostate.

"Gods, yes," Nathaniel groaned out. "I've wanted you ...so badly...Your cock...In my tight arse...My hole has been....aching for you...ever since I....Woke up." His pants grew harsher as he tried to find the air to breath, his words turning them both on impossibly more.

Heat was pooling in their stomachs and both knew they were almost done. Bartimaeus' thrusts became erratic and he grabbed Nathaniel's cock and started to pump it with slick noises.

"I'm..gonna.." Nathaniel gasped out, his hands snaking out to grab Bartimaeus' thighs.

"Then come for me.." Bartimaeus growled. Nathaniel's back arched and he screamed Bartimaeus' name as he came, pearly white come shooting between then and onto his chest and face.

Bartimaeus groaned as the walls spasmed around his cock, pulling him deeper and squeezing his own release from him.

Nathaniel sighed as he felt the liquid shoot into his ass, cooling some of the burning he felt from the rough entrance earlier. He felt Bartimaeus collapse on top of him, his weight as welcome and comforting as the softened cock still inside of him. Bartimaeus nuzzled the side of his neck and licked off some of the come where his face had landed and he(Nathaniel) let out a tired giggle, though he would later deny it.

"You and your nuzzling," His voice was hoarse from screaming and weak from fatigue. He felt rather than heard Bartimaeus chuckle against his neck before he was rolled over so that he was lying on top of Bartimaeus.

"Do you have a problem with my nuzzling?" The question was posed in an amused voice and barely made it through the fog of sleep already clouding his mind.

"Not at all." He heard himself reply faintly. "It's just part of what I love about you." He thought maybe he was squeezed just a little tighter at that but would later write it off as the beginning of his dream.

OoOoOoO New scene OoOo

It was well into afternoon when they both woke again, pleasantly sore and unpleasantly sticky. Nathaniel groaned and stretched from his place on top of Bartimaeus. He started when he heard Bartimaeus speak.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he said gruffly. It was then that Nathaniel became aware of the hard prick he felt still inside of him. He blushed brightly at the thoughts of how they'd come to be like this came rushing back. The embarrassment quickly fled to be replaced by annoyance.

"I'm so sticky~" He whined, putting a hand to his chest and grimacing when he felt the dried goo there.

"Well then let's go take a shower," Bartimaeus purred, gyrating his hips just enough for it to be felt.

Nathaniel flushed and breathed his agreement.

OoOoOoONew scene (Sorry I skipped that possible lemon)

After finishing their hour long shower, Nathaniel was finally putting his clothes on(he'd been interrupted several times by Bartimaeus) when he saw the clock out of the corner of his eye.

"Fuck! Fuck,fuck,fuck,fuck, Fuck!" Nathaniel continued cursing in his mind as he rushed through getting ready, not stopping until Bartimaeus came out of the bathroom and forcibly stopped him.

"Why are you rushing so much?" Bartimaeus breathed into his ear, slipping a hand under his shirt.

"Stop that!" Nathaniel slapped the hands away and ran around the room, looking for his tie. "I'm late! I'm so late I'll be lucky if I get out of the office tonight. Gods, I sill have so much stuff to do, so many leads to check out."

~Bart~

Nathaniel was on his hands and knees looking under the bed when Bartimaeus, leaning against the bathroom door frame, decided to tell him he didn't have to go to work that day.

"And how, pray tell, do you know that?" Nathaniel sat back on his haunches and eyed Bartimaeus suspiciously.

"Well, we were out for a couple of hours..." He started.

"Uh-huh," Nathaniel agreed.

"And your assistant was worried about your not coming to work. She obviously knows how much of a workaholic you are." He smiled wryly. "I mean really, do you ever stop working? Even at home you have files on your desk to work on. And now that we're together I'm going to have to ask you to stop bringing work home. It'll interfere with your Bartimaeus time and..."

"Bartimaeus. What happened?" His tone was sweet but it wasn't fooling him for a second. He knew that if he answered this wrong he would probably be on the bed for a week. He decided to jus tget it all out and over with and hope the worst didn't happen.

"Piper came over worried that I'd killed you or something like that and because you gave her a key for some strange reason she didn't knock so I didn't know she was coming up because I was kind of absorbed in watching you sleep and then she just opened the door and we were still lying here like when we'd gone to sleep and you were still sleeping even when she screamed so I had to explain a few thing and then she got this weird gleam in her eye and told me to tell you that you didn't have to come to work today at all because "who knows when Mr. Mandrake will wake up, you seem to have tired him out" her words and she said it all in that sickly sweet tone like you did just now and it kind of reminded me of Kitty for a second and then she just left." He took a gasping breath when he was done, hoping he wasn't about to be killed.

~Nat~

"Bartimaeus," Nathaniel said neutrally. Bartimaeus opened his eyes slowly and a look of bafflement crossed his features. Nathaniel couldn't help it and burst out laughing. "Your face! Oh god that was precious. I'm never going to forget that." He wiped a stray tear from his eye before he oomphed. Bartimaeus has jumped on him, straddling him into the ground and holding his hands above his head

"You evil thing," Bartimaeus growled playfully " I was worried you were going to kill me."

"What, and miss all these amusing scenes you bring into my life?" Nathaniel mocked before choking as Bartimaeus attacked his sides, tickling him with the hand not holding his wrist in place. Nathaniel struggled to get away, wriggling around and bucking to no avail.

"Do you take that back?" Bartimaeus paused tickling to asked, a silly grin on his face. Nathaniel shook his head vigorously.

"Never," He managed to gasp out before Bartimaeus renewed his assault and had him screamily giggling (if that's possible) before he finally gave in. Gasping out apologies between his giggles.

"That's what I thought," Bartimaeus said solemnly before he leaned down to kiss his boyfriend.

"Mmmn," Nathaniel moaned, arching into Bartimaeus before he pulled away, grinning at him goofily.

"We should go on a date," Bartimaeus chirped. Nathaniel blinked at the abrupt change before smiling softly and agreeing.

"Sure, Bartimaeus, let's go on a date."

OoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoO

Woooh, chapter done. I never really realized how hard it is to keep the antecedents together with their subjects O.o Lots of lemony goodness this chappie and next one's the date. Will they find something that had to do with Bartimaeuss new body? OF course, why else would I mention it?

Now, you don't need to review but I would appreciate it if you went to my profle and voted on the mpreg issue. LOTSA LOVE AND COOKIES! ~Bart4Nat
