Save Tonight

Dom looked down at the warm bundle snuggled into his side. 
He shifted slightly so he could wrap an arm around Elijah 
and pull him closer. He picked up the remote with his other 
hand, and pressed the ‘off’ button. So much for the movie, 
he thought. Lij was dead tired but had insisted on watching 
it. That didn’t happen, he was asleep after half an hour. Dom 
looked at him again and smiled. He picked up the glasses 
that had slid off the end of Elijah’s nose. He folded them up 
and put them on the coffee table. Lij looked so sweet and 
innocent, with bars of moonlight across his body. He was 
cuddled into Dom with an arm curled against his chest and 
the other hanging off the couch. His legs were curled under 
him slightly. Little warm puffs of air were escaping from 
between his parted lips, and his hair was in disarray. Dom 
looked at the clock on the wall, only ten, no way could he fall 
asleep now. 

He shifted out from under Lij gently, not wanting to wake 
him. He placed a pillow under his head, and put a blanket 
over him. He went and retrieved the DVD from the machine 
on the floor, and put it back in its case. What to do? Haven’t 
checked e-mail since yesterday...he thought as he headed 
toward the office. 

He sat down in the chair as he turned the monitor on. The 
computer beeped as he logged on to the Internet. He clicked 
the bookmark for his account. One new e-mail. How 
pathetic. It was from his agent. Hmmm.

Dom; remember the movie you auditioned for last week? You said 
you liked it. Well, they loved you! They want you to play opposite 
the lead! This will be great work for you. Take some time to think 
about it. Call me once you decide. - Frank

A slow smile crept across his face. Frank was right. He had 
liked the script. It was a good plot, great characters, and 
good pay. One downside. The whole movie was being filmed 
in Africa. That meant being on location, away from home. 
Away from Elijah. He hated the thought of being away from 
Lij. When Elijah was filming Try Seventeen in Vancouver, it 
almost killed him. That was only two months. Anyways Dom 
had visited him after only one month.

How would he survive four or five months without him? He 
didn’t want to think too much about it. He turned the 
computer off and stood up. Best not to tell Lij until he made 
up his mind. He knew what Lij would say. ‘Go for it Dom! It’s 
a great opportunity!’ But he also knew he wasn’t the only 
one who was lonely when they were apart. No. Better not tell 
him. Yet. 

Dom wandered back into the living room. Elijah was still 
asleep. Dom stood a moment looking at him. It was scary 
how much he loved him. He bent down and gently kissed his 
cheek. Lij moaned softly and burrowed further under the 
blanket. 

“Lij. Come on, wakeup,” Dom said softly into his ear. He 
stoked the unruly hair and softly kissed his lips. Elijah’s 
eyes slowly fluttered open. He smiled at Dom sleepily. “We 
should go to bed.”

“In a minute,” Lij said through a yawn. He stretched slowly 
and sat up. 

“You missed the movie.” Dom pulled him to his feet.

“We can watch it tomorrow.” He leaned in and kissed Dom’s 
mouth sweetly. “Well. Let’s go to bed then.” He picked up his 
glasses and turned off the light. 

“I love you.”

“I love you to Dommie.” Lij smiled at him and started off 
down the hall, with Dom close behind. 

*****                                                    

Two days later and Dom was no closer to a decision. He 
really should go; this was a great opportunity. But how could 
he survive four months without him? He couldn’t. These 
thoughts bothered him constantly. He tried to act normal so 
Lij wouldn’t suspect anything, he had an idea Lij knew 
something was going on. Elijah wasn’t stupid, especially 
when it came to knowing Dominic. 

“There you go frowning again.” Elijah had sneaked up behind 
him. He wrapped his arms around Dom from behind. He 
squeezed gently. “Are you going to tell me what’s bothering 
you, or do I have to guess?”

Dom sighed. He knew it was useless to hide anything from 
Elijah. “I promise I’ll tell you soon.” He turned his head to 
find himself staring into concerned blue eyes. He felt his 
heart melt, at the love there. “Elijah” it came out as a 
whisper. Dom leaned back further into Lij’s arms.

Elijah’s lips connecting with his sent forth a sigh. Dom 
turned slightly in Elijah’s grasp. Dom’s tongue slowly traced 
Lij’s lips, and Lij opened them with a moan. Dom slipped his 
tongue inside Elijah’s hot, wet mouth, their tongues meeting 
and stroking each other. Elijah’s hands were stroking Dom’s 
belly underneath his shirt. Dom’s hands reached backwards 
behind him, finding Elijah’s firm ass. His hands cupping and 
stroking the denim covered flesh. 

Regretfully they pulled away gasping for breath. Dom turned 
and pulled Lij to him in a hug. He didn’t want to lose the 
contact, not yet. “I love you,” he whispered fiercely into Lij’s 
ear.

“I love you too. You’ll never how much.” Elijah returned the 
remark.

That didn’t make Dom’s decision any easier.

*****

“Lij, I need to talk to you.” Dom was standing in the bedroom 
doorway. Elijah lay on his stomach on the bed; he was busy 
tapping away at his laptop. Lij looked up at Dom, with a 
smile.

“Sure. What is it?” He clicked a few more times then closed 
the lid. He sat up looking at Dom expectantly. Dom walked 
over and sat on the bed facing him.

He took a deep breath and let it out as a sigh. This was not 
going to be easy. Two weeks. It echoed in his mind. He shook 
his head trying to gather his thoughts. “Lij, I got a job offer 
and I took it.”

“That’s great Dom!” Elijah bounced into Dom’s lap hugging 
him.

“It’s not that great Elijah.” He said trying to pry Elijah’s arms 
from around his neck. Elijah’s arms relaxed, a hurt, 
confused look on his face. 

“What is it Dom?”

Dom felt his stomach tighten at the look Elijah gave him but 
continued. “You remember that script I had you read with 
me, it was like ‘Out of Africa’?” He continued when Elijah 
nodded. “Well, they offered me the role.” Dom looked down 
and tried to swallow around the lump in his throat. “Bad 
thing about it, it’s a location shoot. The whole thing.” Dom 
took a deep breath and met Elijah’s eyes. “It’s being filmed in 
Africa.”

Dom looked closely at Elijah. His face was absolutely still, 
concealing his thoughts. But his eyes were flashing. Pride, 
apprehension, resignation all swam there with a million 
other things Dom couldn’t read.

“When do you leave?” He finally whispered 

Dom sighed looking down at his hands. “Two weeks.”

“Two weeks?!” Elijah’s exclamation mirrored Dom’s reaction 
when his agent told him. Dom looked up to see Lij sitting 
there stunned. His mouth slightly open and his eyes 
pleading. “How long will you be gone?”

Dom winced. He looked at Lij with an apologetic look on his 
face.  He whispered “Four months.” 

“No…” Elijah was slowly shaking his head. His eyes pleading 
with Dom.  

Dom felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. He scooted 
over and wrapped his arms around Elijah tightly. He slowly 
rocked them. “It’ll be ok Lij; it’ll be ok.” He whispered this 
over and over. If he whispered it enough maybe it would be 
true.  

*****

The next week and a half were busy. Time was spent buying 
and packing clothes, trips to the doctor for shots, spending 
every possible moment together and making love. 

Dom and Lij were both painfully aware that this was their 
last day together. Dom’s plane left at 11:30 the next 
morning.

Dom took his and Elijah’s lunch plates to the sink. He 
turned to look at Lij, surprised to see him staring back. He 
had a thoughtful look on his face. “What?” Dom asked 
suspiciously. 

“Huh? Oh nothing.” Lij smiled at him.

“Right,” Dom didn’t believe him for a second. He was 
planning something. Hell if Dom knew what.

“Say, did you tell Sean you were leaving?” Elijah asked.

“Wha…No. I guess I should.”

“You should. Why don’t you go over and tell him?”

“I’ll just phone him. I don’t want to leave you any sooner 
then I have to.” He stopped and stared at Elijah who tried his 
best to look innocent. “Alright. What the hell are you up to?”

“Me? Nothing.” Elijah stared back solemnly. “Oh. I noticed 
you were low on toothpaste and such. You should get some 
while you’re out.”

Dom sighed. No point in arguing with him. “Fine. I’ll go tell 
Sean I’m leaving and go to the store.” He glowered at Lij, who 
smiled back happily. “I should be about two hours. Is that 
long enough for you to carry out your little plan?”

“What little plan? I just want you to be prepared. It’s the boy 
scout in me.” Elijah crossed the room to Dom and stood in 
front of him.

“You were never a boy scout Elijah.” Dom smiled at him.

Lij leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. “Well, 
you better get going.”

“Uh huh.” He slipped his wallet in his back pocket as he 
grabbed his keys. “I’ll see you soon.”

*****
Dom unlocked the front door only to find himself faced with 
a frowning Elijah. 

“Where the fuck were you!? It’s six fucking o’clock!”

He could see Lij’s eyes were flashing with anger but he saw 
the worry underneath. Dom swallowed. “Sorry. I got stuck in 
traffic. There was a horrible accident, three-car pile up.” 

Elijah’s face relaxed, but his eyes were still flashing. “Did 
you get your stuff?”

“Yeah,” Dom gestured to the shopping bag he carried. “I 
talked to Sean too. He was happy for me. He and Christine 
both whished me luck.” He could see Lij was still angry. 
“What are you so angry about?” He couldn’t keep the 
irritation out of his voice.

Lij glared at him. “Dinner was ready an hour ago,” he 
answered stiffly.

Dom grinned. “You cooked dinner?” 

Lij crossed his arms. “Yeah. Is that so hard to believe?” 

Dom raised an eyebrow. “Lij.”

Lij gave in, grinned and uncrossed his arms. “Fine. Mom 
helped a bit.”

Dom smiled at him. He put an arm around his waist and 
kissed him soundly on the cheek. “I appreciate this Lij. I 
really do.”

Elijah shrugged as they walked toward the kitchen. “I 
wanted our last night to be special.” 

They stepped into the kitchen and Dom saw the Lij had 
indeed cooked dinner. Two plates were set out on the small 
table. Each plate was piled high with spaghetti. By each 
plate was a glass of red wine, and a breadbasket filled with 
garlic bread sat in the centre. “Oh Lij. You did all this for 
me?”

Elijah smiled and nodded surveying his work. “Come on. We 
can heat the spaghetti in the microwave.”

*****
An hour later they sat together on the couch, sipping the red 
wine. A fire in the fireplace lighted the room. It was warm 
and cosy. 

“I wish I didn’t have to leave.” Dom looked over at Elijah.

“Well, I can come visit. Two months from now, I’ll come and 
see you.”

Dom smiled at him and shook his head. “ Lij, that’s a lot of 
money. Anyway you wouldn’t be able to find us out in Africa. 
It’s not like were going to be in a city or even a village…Plus, 
you have a TV show appearance.”

Elijah forehead wrinkled as he thought about it. All Dom 
wanted to do was smooth out the wrinkles with his lips and 
make him forget about it. “I can quit the TV show. It wasn’t 
really my dream to be interviewed by fucking Regis and 
Kelly. Fuck ‘em. Instead of doing that shit I could be with 
you.” Elijah looked at him so hopefully Dom melted. 

“Look Elijah. I won’t let you cancel appearances and jobs 
because of me.” He put his hand to Elijah’s mouth when he 
started to protest. “ We can talk about this later. Let’s just 
enjoy our last night together. Please?” He stared at Elijah, 
caught in his blue gaze. 

He removed his hand and moved closer to Elijah. He put his 
glass on the table, then took Elijah’s and placed it there as 
well. 

He stared at Elijah with love, and a fire began to burn down 
in the pit of his stomach. Dom kissed his lips softly but 
Elijah wasn’t interested in cuddling. He kissed Dom fiercely, 
pushing him against the back of the couch. His tongue 
opening Dom’s lips and pulling out his tongue. He began to 
stroke the tongue with his own as Dom moaned helplessly. 
Lij moved so he was straddling Dom’s hips. Dom was hard 
and could feel Elijah’s answering erection against his 
stomach.

Elijah pulled back, and gazed at Dom. He was panting, and 
his eyes were glazed with passion. Elijah reached down and 
pulled Dom’s shirt over his head. He threw it carelessly 
behind him, as he fumbled with his own shirt buttons.

“Here. Let me.” Dom’s voice was husky. Dom started to undo 
Elijah’s shirt slowly. Lij began to stroke Dom’s chest. An 
appreciative moan escaped from Dom. Elijah’s fingers began 
to play with Dom’s nipples, he felt them began to harden 
immediately. His breathing hitched. Elijah smiled and began 
to slowly move his hips against Dom’s. Dom groaned loudly 
and slid the shirt from Elijah’s shoulders, drawing him in. 
He kissed Elijah’s open mouth, tasting him.

He drew back and looked at Lij. Elijah opened his eyes after 
a moment. Lij’s tongue sneaked out to wet his lips. “Maybe 
we should go to the bedroom.” Elijah’s voice was husky with 
lust and only fuelled Dom’s desire for him further. Dom 
nodded mutely as Lij, slid from his lap. The friction, brief as 
it was, was delicious and Dom bit back a moan. 

He was about to stand up when Lij pushed him back down. 
“Wha…?” He looked up at Elijah.

“Stay here a minute. Ok? Elijah’s face pleaded with him.

“Fine. Ok but hurry up.” Dom watched Elijah quickly move 
down the hall towards the bedroom.

Dom grabbed his glass of wine and downed the rest of it in 
one gulp. His body was still humming from Elijah’s 
ministrations. He pressed his head back into the sofa, 
awaiting Elijah’s return. His gaze turned to the fire, which 
had burned down to glowing embers. He stared at them, 
until Elijah’s voice brought him back. 

“Dom?” Elijah was standing in the doorway.

“Elijah,” he got up swiftly and went to him. Elijah leaned in 
and kissed him quickly. 

“Come on,” he nodded towards the bedroom. When Dom 
stepped into the bedroom he was stunned. The room was lit 
with candles. One on each side of the bed and several on the 
dresser. The bed was turned down and ready for them. 

Dom looked at Lij with wonder. “You did this for me?”

Elijah looked back solemnly. “I told you. I wanted our last 
night together to be special…unforgettable.” 

Dom’s love for Elijah swept through him, drowning him. “Oh, 
Elijah.” He kissed Elijah tenderly. Lij kissed him back. This 
wasn’t the frenzy, passion driven kiss they had shared 
minutes before. This was a kiss to tell each other exactly 
what the other meant to them. Dom had his arms around 
Elijah, one hand was on his hip, and the other was on the 
small of his back bringing him closer to Dom. The kiss 
deepened. Lij had his arms wrapped tightly around Dom’s 
neck.

Without breaking contact, Elijah walked backwards till he 
hit the side of the bed. He lay down pulling Dom with him, 
so Dom was lying on top of him. Dom broke the kiss, 
breathing deeply. He looked at Elijah spread below him. He 
could feel their hard lengths pressed together through the 
fabric of their jeans, and had a sudden need to feel Elijah’s 
flesh against his. 

Dom sat up so that he was straddling Elijah’s thighs. He ran 
his hands down Lij’s chest, stopping to stroke his nipples. 
He traced first one than the other with his thumb. Elijah had 
his eyes shut tightly and was groaning underneath him. 
Dom bent forward and traced the path his thumb had just 
taken with his tongue. When Dom’s tongue began to lick the 
hard nubs, Elijah bucked up against him. “Please…Dom…” 

Dom lifted his head to see Elijah’s pleading eyes, begging 
him for more. He grinned at him and slid his hands down 
lower to the waistband of his jeans. He gently stroked the 
bulge in Elijah’s jeans. Elijah’s hips left the mattress seeking 
more contact. Dom ran his hands back up to the fly of Lij’s 
jeans. He flicked the button open and slid the zipper down 
slowly. Dom pulled the jeans and boxers down and off 
quickly. 

Elijah’s cock was hard and flushed pink. Dom leaned in and 
kissed the tip, Lij’s hips bucked up on their own. Elijah lay 
gasping on the bed trying to hold still for Dom. Dom let his 
tongue sneak out slowly to lick the length of Elijah’s 
erection. Dom lifted is head, “Elijah.” Lij opened his eyes, 
focusing them on Dom. “Lij, I do believe I’m overdressed right 
now. Are you going to help me with that?”

Elijah stuck out his lower lip in protest. With an effort he 
managed to sit up and push Dom over, so Dom was now 
laying on his back. Lij had cleverly switched the roles on 
Dom. Elijah looked at him thoughtfully for a moment. Dom 
knew that look, it meant teasing but great pleasure always 
followed.

Elijah kneeled over Dom one leg on each side. He slowly ran 
his hands up Dom’s thighs, inching towards the obvious 
bulge in Dom’s trousers. When he got to the bulge, his 
hands made a detour around it, to the button at the top. 
Dom groaned, pushing up looking for contact for his burning 
cock. Elijah knew that, and evasively kept out of reach. He 
undid the button and ever so slowly, moved the zipper down. 
Dom bucked his hips again but Elijah was too fast, his 
hands had already left his groin area for his waist. 

Elijah leaned forward, careful to keep his hips away from 
Dom, pinning his wrists to his sides with his own hands. He 
began to lick Dom’s stomach, paying special attention to his 
bellybutton. Elijah knew this drove Dom insane. He slowly 
circled it several times, and then pushed his tongue in. A 
line of fire raced from Dom’s bellybutton to his groin, 
inflaming him even more. He tried futilely to break free from 
Elijah’s grasp. 

Elijah raised his head and grinned evilly at him. “Too much 
for you? Just you wait…” Dom moaned, at the promise that 
held. Elijah released his hands, “Now don’t move or, I 
promise you, it will be very slow going.” Dom didn’t bother to 
answer, knowing that Elijah would see that as movement 
and be true to his word. 

Dom concentrated on breathing evenly as Elijah slowly slid 
his jeans down. Lij then sat down on Dom’s thighs and 
slowly ran a hand up and over his erection. Dom used every 
bit of willpower he had not to buck his hips. Lij leaned in 
and nuzzled his groin through the fabric of the boxers. Dom 
bit back a moan, his aching, weeping cock was finally getting 
some attention. 

Elijah suddenly yanked the boxers down and engulfed Dom’s 
member. Dom gasped as Elijah took him whole. Lij’s hands 
began to massage Dom’s balls. Elijah backed off a little so he 
could suck and lick the head. He licked the head until 
glistening beads began to appear. He lapped them up, and 
then looked at Dom once more.

Dom’s eyes opened after a moment and he stared at Elijah. 
“You going to hand me the lube or not?” Lij demanded.

Dom reached over to the table and grabbed the lube from the 
drawer. Elijah began to reach for it but Dom held out of his 
reach. “Let me. Please.” Elijah relented and moved up to 
straddle Dom’s waist. Dom squirted some lube in his hand 
and began to massage it onto Elijah’s rock hard member. 

When his member was fully lubricated, Lij held out his hand 
palm up. Dom squeezed some lube onto Elijah’s hand. Dom 
spread his legs apart and Lij moved down to kneel between 
them. His hand slid behind Dom’s balls till he felt the tight 
ring of muscle. He slowly massaged until he felt them begin 
to loosen. He slowly pushed in a finger, gently working it in. 
Dom was panting, his head thrown back, his hands holding 
tightly to the sheet.

Elijah pushed in another finger, stretching the passage. Dom 
brought his knees up so he could take more. By the time 
Elijah’s third finger was inside him, Dom was trembling with 
need. “Please Elijah…” his voice was raw with desire. Elijah 
pulled his fingers out and wiped them on the sheet. “Do you 
want me to turn over?” Dom was looking at Elijah, his grey 
eyes clouded over and filled with passion and love.

“No,” said Elijah, staring back. “I want to be able to watch 
you and kiss your sweet mouth at the height of our passion.” 
His voice was hoarse and his word aroused Dom even more. 
Dom wrapped his arms around him, pulling him up for a 
brief kiss, then releasing him once again. 

Elijah positioned himself at Dom’s entrance, his arms on 
either side of Dom’s waist. Dom nodded, and Elijah pushed 
in a few inches, stopping to let the muscles relax. Dom’s 
hands grabbed Elijah’s shoulders, holding on to him. When 
Elijah felt the muscles loosen up, he gave a small thrust and 
was fully sheathed inside Dom.

Dom’s hands were now kneading Elijah’s shoulders, as he 
panted. He opened his eyes and focused them on Elijah’s. 
“More…” there was so much more he wanted to say to Elijah. 
But that was about all he could manage right now. 

Elijah slowly pulled halfway out, then thrust back in. Each 
time he thrust a little harder and faster, till he reached a 
comfortable, satisfying pace for them both. Dom was moving 
with him, moaning. 

Elijah felt himself nearing the edge and his pace sped up. He 
was now thrusting into Dom hard and fast. Dom felt his 
loins begin to tighten as Lij thrust even harder, continually 
hitting his sweet spot. “Lijah…” It came out as a moan, a 
plea, for release. Elijah leaned forward to capture Dom’s 
mouth with his in a hungry passion filled kiss, as he thrust 
one last time, and exploded inside him. This pushed Dom 
over the edge and he came, spurting hot gushes between 
them.

Elijah collapsed on Dom panting, his head resting on Dom’s 
shoulder. Dom lazily stroked Elijah’s back, slick with sweat. 
He wanted this night to never end. With a great effort Elijah 
sat up, slipping out of Dom. He grabbed a towel from the 
table and cleaned himself and Dom with it. He tossed onto 
the floor, and curled up against Dom’s side. “Well…will you 
remember this night forever?”

Dom looked at him, a lazy smile on his face. “What do you 
think? Of course I will…always.” Elijah sighed and snuggled 
closer. Dom absently stroked his hair, deep in thought. He 
noticed that Elijah had fallen asleep.

He gazed at Elijah with a love so deep, knowing that 
whatever happened in the coming months, their love for each 
other would get them through.
