Chain Lightning

Beauty and the Beast

By Stevie Nicks


My darling lives in a world that is not mine,
An old child, misunderstood...out of time.
Timeless is the creature who is wise,
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise.

Oh who is the beauty...who the beast?
Would you die of grieving when I leave?
Two children too blind to see,
I would fall in your shadow...I believe

My love is a man who's not been tamed,
Oh...my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain.
We come from different worlds...we are the same.
I never doubted your beauty...I've changed,
I never doubted your beauty...I've changed.


Who is the beauty?
Where is my beast?
There is no beauty
Without my beast.


My beauty...my beauty,
My beautiful...beautiful...beautiful
Beautiful beast.


Chapter twelve

Who is the Beast?

Ghost in the Mist

Billy loved the sunshine, but he was not happy to see the sun come out this time. The torrent was over and they had to go back to work. They had to go back to work and it was going to be a little awkward. It would be awkward because Billy knew that his fellow actors would sense a change. He didn’t want to explain or talk about it or deal with that in any way. He just wanted to be with Sean, that was all, that was everything, being with Sean was everything.

They had been back to work for a few days now. Billy was sure the others were putting two and two together. Dom knew. Dom really, really knew. Sean had seen to that. Sean had seen to that because Dom had called Billy. Dom called Sean because he was worried about Billy because Billy had been missing for a few days. Sean had handed the phone to Billy, and while Billy talked to Dom Sean had gotten that look in his eye again. Sean had gotten that look and he had picked Billy up and tossed him on the bed and begun to strip him. Then Sean had stripped himself and pulled Billy onto his lap. Billy had the phone pressed to one ear and Sean was on the other, kissing and licking and nibbling and sucking, making gooseflesh jump on Billy, all over Billy.

Billy wanted to get off the phone, but he knew what Sean wanted, knew it and as much as it made him blush to do so, he would indulge Sean, he would let Sean do as he liked, because he just couldn’t say no to Sean. So Billy had continued to talk to Dom while Sean kissed him and caressed him. Sean had kept working on Billy’s ear while he pinched Billy’s nipples. Then Sean’s bearded mouth had latched on to one of Billy’s nipples and Billy had moaned in spite of himself. Billy had moaned, and Dom had certainly heard it. Sean’s hand had gone to Billy’s crotch. Sean clutched Billy’s dick and his big, strong hand had worked the flesh there expertly. Billy started panting, still trying to talk to Dom, blushing deeply. When Billy blushed Sean loved it. He loved to make Billy blush because he knew he could make Billy love what he was doing, even when Billy was embarrassed. Sean knew that making Billy love it turned Billy on, turned him on because Billy then had to deal with the fact that Sean practically owned him because Sean could make Billy melt with just the slightest touch, with just the most brief kiss. Hell, Sean could make Billy melt just by looking at him.

So Billy stayed on the phone and continued to talk while Sean plundered his body, heart and soul. Sean waited until Billy was in the middle of a sentence, then slid two fingers inside Billy and Billy divided the sentence with a soft whimper. Sean’s mouth on his nipples, his fingers inside Billy were driving Billy insane. Billy had started trembling. Then Sean moved Billy out of his lap and positioned Billy face down. Then Sean had grabbed Billy’s hips and pulled him up on his knees. Billy was on his knees and one hand, holding the phone to his ear with the other hand. Sean put his hands on Billy’s perfect little bubble of an arse and stoked the skin there, smooth and supple, making Billy’s flesh ripple under the firm caress. One of Sean’s hands slid up Billy’s back and to the back of Billy’s head and pushed his face into the mattress. Sean was on his knees behind Billy, no doubt slicking his cock up with lube. He waited until Billy was in the middle of another sentence, then he slid inside Billy and Billy had gasped into the phone. Then Sean had started moving, agonizingly slow at first, drawing it out, making Billy hang onto the phone while he lost his grip on control.

Sean’s strong hands gripped Billy’s waist and he increased the tempo bit by bit. Sliding almost all the way out, then plunging smoothly back in, slow and deep, pausing to do a little circular grind nice and deep at the bottom of every thrust, pushing Billy closer and closer to orgasm. Billy was sure Dom knew what was going on because he had an amused undertone to his voice. Sean started going a little faster now and maybe this would be over soon because Billy was just on the edge now, just on the edge and Sean could tell, Sean knew he had Billy teetering on the brink and Sean thrust in smoothly and almost brutally hard and then…

He stopped, keeping perfectly still until the feeling receded just a little, only a little, just enough to keep Billy from coming just yet, and no more had the feeling backed off than Sean thrusted in and out, fast and forcefully. Sean did this a number of times. Billy had begun to shake all over, and was Dom snickering at this? Yes, yes he was, and Billy knew that Dom knew for sure. Dom knew, knew as surely as if he were sitting here watching. And still Billy couldn’t help himself, Billy still loved it, loved it all the more because it was out of his control. It made him feel like a possession, Sean’s own possession, Sean’s property, because Sean truly owned him just then.

“Are you alright, Billy?” Dom was saying. “You sound a little out of breath.”

“Ye-es, I’m, I’m f-fine.” Billy answered.

And Sean heard Billy and Sean decided then to go faster and further, and Billy was just on the razor’s edge, just on the razor’s edge and Sean was going harder and faster, and he was talking.

Sean was talking, his voice carefully pitched, just enough so that Billy just knew Dom could hear him. Sean said “Oh fuck, baby, you’re so hot, hot and tight, baby, fuck but this is good, baby.” A rush of pleasure hit Billy when he realized Sean had done this deliberately. Sean had done it deliberately just so he could pry control out of Billy completely, make Billy know that he belonged to Sean, as if he were being marked, marked as Sean’s territory, as though Sean was a wolf marking his territory, claiming sovereignty, claiming property rights.

Then to Billy’s utter humiliation and greatest pleasure, Sean had spoken again, again careful to pitch his voice so that Dom surely heard, and Sean had said, “Do it, Billy baby, come on, give it to me, little Billy, come for me, baby, come for Daddy.”

And Billy finally dropped the phone, and Billy cried out, because this was the best orgasm he had ever had, and Dom had heard every whimper, ever groan, every cry. Dom had to know because not only Billy cried out. Sean, too had cried out, cried out with that roar of his that he made when his orgasm was particularly powerful. Done. Finished. Billy had been marked, marked as property of Sean Bean. Dom knew. Viggo knew, which meant Orli knew. Anyone who didn’t know would soon either figure it out for himself or find out through Dom or Viggo or Orli.

But Billy didn’t want to deal with any of that right now. He didn’t want to deal with any of that, he just wanted to be with Sean. He wanted to be with Sean and he couldn’t, because he had to work and Sean had some time off because damn it all, Boromir wasn’t going to be in a great deal of this story. So Sean was going to fly back to England to visit his family, and Billy was miserable about not being with Sean. Billy could hardly wait to finish work for the day so he could be with Sean a little while before Sean left. So Billy was not, definitely not interested in discussing any of this with anyone. He could worry about that later. Just as soon as he could he had slipped away with no explanations to anyone. Every moment away from Sean was a wasted moment because Sean was going to leave, leave and fly to England and Billy wanted to spend every minute he could with Sean.

Billy pulled into Sean’s drive and practically ran to the door and let himself in with the key Sean had given him. Billy shut the door behind himself and leaned against it, out of breath from his rush to get here, to get to Sean. Sean jumped up from the chair he sat in and held his arms out in an invitation. It was an invitation Billy had no intentions of refusing; he almost leapt into those strong arms.

Sean knew Billy was upset, he could sense it. Sean held Billy and kissed him tenderly, then sat back down, pulling Billy down in his lap, where Billy curled up warm and cozy as a little squirrel.

“It’s alright, baby, I’ll be back.” Sean said. “I’m not leaving forever, you know. I need to see my family. That’s all.”

“You won’t find someone else? You won’t go back to…”

“No, baby, I won’t go back to her. That’s over with.”

“Promise?” said Billy, sounding like a little boy, Billy sounded just like a little boy and it made Sean tighten his arms around Billy as if to shield him from any doubt.

“I promise, Billy baby. I do, I promise. I’ll be back and then we’ll be together again. In the meantime you’ll have all your friends here with you. You won’t be lonely, just wait and see.”

“I’ll miss you. I’ll miss you so much.” Billy said.

“I’ll miss you, too.” Sean said. He kissed Billy again. Then he picked Billy up and carried him to their bed. This time when he undressed Billy he did it slowly and between kisses, lots of kisses, soft and sweet. Then he gently laid Billy down and undressed himself. He lay down next to Billy and Sean pulled Billy close. Sean’s kisses and caresses were soft, gentle, tender, loving. Everything had always been wild and heated between them, but not this time. This time was very slow, almost lazy. Sean wasn’t fucking Billy this time. No, Sean was making love to Billy this time. Sean made love to Billy, sweetly and gently and Billy couldn’t believe how wonderful it was. Billy had no idea Sean could be so romantic.

Then Sean held Billy, held Billy and kissed Billy’s nose. “I’ll miss your nose,” Sean said. Sean kissed Billy’s eyes. “I’ll miss your pretty eyes.” Sean said. Sean kissed Billy’s philtrum. “I’ll miss Phil,” Sean said. “I’ll miss Phil a lot.” Sean said. Sean kissed Billy’s mouth. “I’ll miss that mouth, that kissable, sexy, hungry little mouth.” Sean said. Sean kissed Billy’s knuckles. “I’ll miss your hands, such small, clever hands.” Sean said. He kissed Billy’s navel. “I’ll miss this little belly button,” Sean said. He rolled Billy over on his tummy. He kissed the little sacral dimples just above Billy’s perfect little bubble of an arse.” I’ll miss those little dimples, too.” Sean said. He lightly traced his fingers across the sweet roundness of Billy’s bottom. “And I’ll really, really miss that little arse.” Sean said. Then Sean sat up and pulled Billy into his lap again. “But do you know what I’ll miss most about you?” Sean asked.

“No, Sean, what? What, Sean? What will you miss most?” Billy asked, snuggling into Sean’s chest. Sean kissed the top of Billy’s head.

“Everything.” said Sean. “And I’ll worry about you. I’ll worry about you feeling like I’ve left you. So do you know what I did?”

“No, Sean, what? What did you do?”

“Well, for starters…” Sean reached under his pillow and produced a small box. He handed it to Billy and watched Billy’s face as he opened it. “I hope you like it.” Sean said.

“Oh, Sean, how wonderful! For me?”

“Yes,” Sean laughed, “For you. Let me put it on for you.”

Sean took a necklace out of the box. There was a small gold square on the necklace that hung just below Billy’s collarbone. Billy looked at the small square of gold. Engraved on the front was two B’s, and on the back were the words, “if found please return to Mr. Sean Bean,” and Billy’s gorgeous lunar eclipse eyes misted up. Billy was grinning, grinning ear to ear, and Sean suddenly felt like he had a low-grade fever.

“Know what else I did?” Sean asked, fastening the necklace around Billy’s neck.

“What, Sean? What else?”

“I asked Dom if he would come and house sit for me, along with you. I want you right here when I come home, because it won’t be home if you aren’t here. And Viggo will come by and check on you, too. So you see, you really have nothing to worry about, baby. I won’t be gone long, and I’ll be missing you every second.”

“Will you really? Really, Sean?”

“I’ll put it this way,” Sean said. He kissed Billy’s nose. “You know the story of Beauty and the Beast, right?"”

“Um, well, yes…?”

“Well, you know how the Beast almost died without Beauty? I haven’t figured out yet which of us is the Beast, but I do know I’d die without you.”

“Oh, Sean…” Billy said, and blushing a delightful shade of pink he threw his arms around Sean so swiftly and with so much force that Sean was knocked flat on his back. Billy lay on Sean, relishing the feel of the hard, muscled body beneath him. Billy kissed every inch of Sean’s face. Sean’s hands drifted down to cup Billy’s perfect little bubble of an arse.

“Now,” Sean said, “I have a few more hours before I fly out, what say we make good use of our time?”

Billy said nothing. Billy said nothing at all, he just looked at Sean like the profane little angel Sean adored. The profane little angel answered Sean with a heartfelt and passionate kiss.
