Back in Black
(Passing the Torch III)
by Cheryl Roberts

Carlos sat at the team's favorite table in the Surf Spot, fidgeting uncomfortably.

Man, what is wrong with me? he silently asked the heavens. Well, what wasn't wrong with him lately? In a very short period of time, he had gone from soccer player to superhero; he had barely adjusted to being the Green Turbo Ranger when those powers had been trashed. Now he was the Black Ranger, wielding the Astro Powers. The team's terrestrial-bound foes had been bad enough to get used to; these days they battled bad guys in outer space! He felt like his life had become a Star Trek episode. With everything being thrown at him, it was no wonder he was feeling antsy, but there was more to it than that.

Carlos glanced across the room to where Ashley and Andros were playing pool and immediately wished he hadn't. The way Ashley was leaning over the table to make her shot.... His pulse rate leapt off the charts, and his already snug black jeans had become almost painfully tight. That the Yellow Ranger sent his hormones into overload was no surprise, considering how much her cheerleading uniform used to distract him. Both she and Cassie were very attractive young women. What was so unusual was that lately just seeing the girls gave him an instant hard-on that wouldn't quit --even when they were in full uniform! And the thoughts that popped into his head when he was alone in a room with either of them... they could be rated xxx!

However, he could deal with lusting after the girls. What really bugged him was that Andros and TJ were beginning to have the same effect on him.

Have I gone completely crazy or what? he moaned to himself as his gaze lingered on the Kerovan's lithe, fit frame, and his cock twitched in his pants. Thoughts of getting the Red Ranger alone and naked in some isolated locale surfaced.... No!

He had tried ignoring what his hormones were telling him, but his desires wouldn't go away. If anything, they continued to grow. It had become so bad, he resorted to jerking off whenever he could, but that never took care of the problem for very long.

The Black Ranger was at his wit's end. He didn't know what to do any longer. He felt like he was losing his mind. What he was really afraid of was that one of these days he was going to jump one of his friends or something. He needed to talk to someone about this, but he wasn't sure who. TJ would probably freak, and Andros wasn't exactly the most approachable person sometimes. As for the girls... no way!

Desperate, Carlos had contacted his former coach and predecessor on the team: Adam. The former Green Ranger had once said that any time he needed to talk about their part time job'.... While he didn't know if this was Power-related or not, the weirdness hadn't started until after they had assumed the Astro Powers.

"Hey, Carlos."

The young man turned at the greeting. His smile of welcome turned into an expression of shock as he was suddenly hit with the overwhelming desire to pull Adam into his arms... run his fingers through that curly hair... thrust his tongue into Adam's mouth.... He turned back to his untouched drink abruptly, praying his companion hadn't seen what had risen up inside him.

"What's wrong?" Adam queried as he took a seat across from his successor.

"I don't know anymore,," Carlos muttered, burying his face in his hands. He couldn't bring himself to even look at the man seated across from him. He clenched his fists, trying to keep control of his confusion, frustration, and arousal.

For a long while, Adam said nothing, but the troubled youth could feel his scrutiny. He couldn't face the former Ranger, but he couldn't bear the suspense either. When Carlos looked up, he was surprised to see understanding and sympathy in the other's expression. Adam nodded as if to say, I know.'

"Why don't we find some place a little more private to discuss this," the ex-Green Ranger suggested.

~*~

"...and I don't know why I'm feeling like this or what to do about it or anything!" Carlos concluded, his confusion and anguish plain as he and Adam made their way through the park. It had taken much prodding for Adam to get his companion to open up, but once he had, the Black Ranger's awkward confession came pouring out in an unstoppable torrent.

Adam had known what was troubling Carlos almost as soon as he laid eyes on him. The hungry once-over he'd received at the Surf Spot had been all too familiar, as were the other signs of a Ranger caught up in a spike.'

Their new Powers must be directly connected to the Morphin' Grid like the Powers pre-Turbo were.

That the Turbo Powers hadn't been linked to the Grid --they'd been filtered through a booster, thus lessening the hormonal impact-- had been something of a blessing. It had taken some getting used to not needing to have sex at the drop of a helmet, and there were times when he had missed it. Of course, it wasn't as if they had suddenly become celibate or anything like that, but it sure had made life a lot less complicated in some respects.

I don't even want to think about what would have happened with Justin!

At any rate, since the Turbo Powers didn't have the side effects, none of them had even thought to mention them to the newcomers.

Adam found it ironic that the first spike of the new guard should be the Black Ranger's, as it was when he first became a Ranger. He wondered how difficult it would be for Carlos to accept the inevitable. The previous teams had all adapted pretty quickly; no one had any major objections or misgivings about their sexual activities, but sooner or later, the odds were that someone would take exception. Still, Adam took it as a good sign that Carlos had been willing to seek him out.

"First off," Adam began, addressing his companion, "it isn't something wrong with you. It's your Powers. Powers directly tied to the Morphin' Grid have this side effect on humans...." And he proceeded to explain about the hormonal build up, the trips' and sympathy spikes.' When he was finished, Carlos was just staring at him, shell-shocked.

"You mean I have to have sex with all my friends --even the guys?"

The original Green Turbo Ranger experienced a momentary twinge of concern, hearing the homophobic overtones in his successor's strident exclamation.

"Yes. Sooner or later, it'll be necessary. Even though the girls can't get pregnant, they still get their periods." He bit back a smile at the look of discomfort on Carlos' face at the mention of that. "And it never seemed to fail that when one was out of commission, the other would be, too. You hit a spike' that week and you guys are on your own."

"You're putting me on," Carlos insisted. "You mean to tell me that you used to have sex with Tommy...."

"...and my best friend when he was on the team. Kat and Tanya... I've had sex with every Ranger I've served with except Justin."

"No way."

Adam sighed. He had to convince Carlos for his own good, and suddenly, he knew how to do it.

"Carlos, teleport us to the old Power Chamber."

~*~

It had been a while since either young man had visited the ruins of their former headquarters. Upon hearing of the Chamber's destruction, Adam, Rocky and Tanya had ventured out to pay their last respects. In poking around, the former Green Ranger had discovered that one level had been pretty much untouched, and he now led the Black Ranger down the long service tube leading to Zordon's private quarters.

"What is this place? I never knew there was anything down here," Carlos murmured, looking around in amazement. "It looks like something out of an Arabian Nights movie."

"We had one heck of an orgy down here when we found it," Adam replied offhandedly, recalling the occasion when they had discovered their mentor's stash of x-rated videos.

"You did it here?"

Adam shrugged. "A spike' could hit any time, any where. We got really creative about finding places to have sex."

"Why'd you bring me here?" Carlos asked, suddenly nervous. The former Ranger could almost guess what was running through his mind.

"Irrefutable proof," was his reply. "We stumbled upon these files by accident; Zordon never meant for anyone else to find them, but I can't think of a better way to show you I'm on the level." It took him longer than he expected to locate the one he was looking for; apparently Zordon had taken the master files with him when he left, but Billy's backups were still there. He selected the recording of his first encounter with Zack. He knew the fun-loving former Ranger wouldn't mind helping out a fellow Black Ranger in need.

~*~

"What if Zordon heard us?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. Once we started using this room, Billy soundproofed it!"

The viewing globe finally went dark, and for several long minutes, Carlos was too numb to move. He couldn't believe he'd just watched what amounted to a gay porn video of his one-time coach and forerunner on the team having sex with his predecessor in the Power Rangers. Disturbingly, he had seen in Adam the same symptoms that he was experiencing. As difficult as it was to credit, he had to admit that the former Green Ranger was telling the truth. And even more disquieting than that was the fact that he had been very turned on by what he'd just witnessed.

Carlos was more confused than ever. He'd never had any sexual interest in men before. He understood that some guys did, and he could respect that, but it wasn't for him... or so he'd always believed. However, at the moment, he found himself wanting desperately to do with Adam all the things that the one-time hero had done with Zack.

Could he really have sex with another guy? It went against everything his parents --the Church-- had taught him. His dad would have heart failure if he ever found out, and what would he say to Father Richards in confession....

"Carlos?" Adam quietly interrupted.

The Black Ranger gave a start of surprise; he'd forgotten that Adam was even there. He flushed hotly because there was no way to conceal the fact that he'd unzipped his pants and had been seriously stroking himself throughout the show. Still, he snatched up a nearby pillow and set it across his lap.

"Yeah?" he asked shakily.

"You okay?"

"I guess so," he murmured in reply, still trying to make sense out of his chaotic thoughts. "How did Zordon get a hold of that? What happened? Was some villain spying on you guys and trying to blackmail you?" Adam's response was a noncommittal grunt, and Carlos interpreted it as a 'yes' because he couldn't picture a being like Dimitria as a voyeur and making a recording like that.

"Do you have any questions?" Adam inquired.

He had a million of them, and yet couldn't give voice to even one.

"It's all right," the ex-Ranger assured him with a kind smile. "It's a lot to get used to all at once. Believe me; I know what you're going through right now: the questions, the doubts, the uncontrollable urge to grab someone and bury your cock so deep inside him or her that they'd never be able to pull you apart...."

Carlos gasped, but whether in shock at the frank language or in sympathy with the images the words conjured, he wasn't certain.

"The thing is, this is going to happen to you as long as you have your powers, and if you don't get relief, you can get really sick. Sure, you can go to Ashley or Cassie --once you convince them that this isn't some cheap trick just to sleep with them-- but they won't always be available. You never know when the hormones will hit critical, and you've already figured out that masturbating doesn't help for long.

"This doesn't have to be a chore --it shouldn't be! And I found that I was glad my first time was with another guy. It made things a lot easier to accept in many ways."

"How so?"

"Mainly because I was so desperate for release that I didn't care who I was doing. I didn't have time to talk myself out of it, and I was able to discover that the guys were just as much fun as the girls. And that there was nothing wrong with enjoying what I was doing regardless of my partner's gender, because I was doing it with friends --people I cared for."

"You were straight before becoming a Ranger?"

"Yes."

"But what about that stuff you told Zack about doing it with Rocky?"

Adam sighed. He'd forgotten about that tidbit of information being recorded for posterity. "Most of what Rocky and I did was just two bored kids being really curious; it had never been serious until we became Rangers."

"So, when you gave up your powers, did you go back to being normal... I mean, the way you were before?"

The former Ranger shook his head and smiled tolerantly, knowing what his companion was getting at. "I know Zack said something to that effect, and we all thought that in the beginning, but when you think about it, after nearly three years of participating in bisexual sex, that was normal for us.

"To be honest, I don't think any of us minded, though. Some of us had more trouble adjusting to not having sex with whomever we wanted, whenever we wanted than we did with sill enjoying sex with same-gendered partners."

"Do you find yourself still interested in your old teammates?"

"Yes, I still enjoy getting together with my friends, though it's not something we do all the time these days."

"What about other guys?" Carlos asked, his interest more than just idle curiosity. In spite of himself, he couldn't shake the image of the one-time Black Ranger's lean, muscular body wrapped around Zack's broad frame, and he wondered what Adam looked like nowadays.

"Generally, I haven't found myself interested in other guys, but then I haven't really been looking, so I can't say for certain. Sometimes I'll see someone who reminds me of Rocky or Tommy, and I'll look --but more because of the memory than anything else. I'm not really looking for new lovers."

"Oh." Carlos was more disappointed by Adam's reply than he cared to admit.

"However, I don't mind helping out a Ranger in need," Adam continued. He bit back a knowing smile at the hope and relief that flickered in his companion's eyes. The current Black Ranger was pretty easy to read.

"You don't?"

"Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. Tell you what; why don't I give you a blowjob to help take the edge off, then you can decide what you want to do once you can think clearly again."

Adam fell silent and regarded his anxious friend expectantly. He had made the offer, but it was up to the other young man to take him up on it.

Beneath the pillow, Carlos noticed that his overwrought anatomy fairly leaped at the proposition. Part of him was still scared and uncertain, but he also knew that if he waited any longer, his balls were liable to explode. And there didn't seem to be any harm in just a blowjob... it wasn't like actually having sex... was it?

"I'll take whatever help you're willing to give," he answered at last.

"Good." However, that being said, Carlos continued to sit there with the pillow in his lap, looking very nervous. "While we'll take things at whatever pace you want, it's kind of hard to give someone a blowjob with a pillow in his lap."

"Oh." Carlos blushed sheepishly; however, he still couldn't seem to move. He stared at his companion helplessly, and he made no move to stop Adam as he plucked the cushion from his lap. His temporary paralysis kept him from being able to hide his anxiety-diminished erection; all he could do was wonder, what next?

Patiently, Adam began undressing. First, he kicked off his shoes and peeled off his socks. Then, he looked pointedly at the Black Ranger. Carlos caught the hint and removed his own footgear.

When Adam removed his shirt, Carlos started to do likewise but became distracted by the sight of the other man's smooth, hard chest. The former Ranger was more solidly built than he had been a few years ago. Adam politely cleared his throat, and Carlos gave himself a mental shake and stripped off his button-down. However, when Adam reached for the snap on his jeans, Carlos felt himself freeze up.

"All right, I'll leave mine on for now," the ex-Ranger said with a chuckle. "So, are you going to do the honors or am I?" he asked, indicating the unfastened denim.

The man is trying to help you! With that admonition firmly in place, the desperately horny teen climbed to his feet and skimmed pants and underwear down his hips. He felt a fierce blush burn his cheeks as he stood naked before his former coach.

Adam recalled how awkward he felt the first time Zack had given him the appraising once-over, so he tried not to be too obvious. Appreciating and getting to know the attributes of one's partner was a big part of being intimate, and he found much to appreciate about Carlos: his lean, muscular build; richly tanned skin; full mouth and dark eyes; long, silky hair....

"I can think of a couple of women who'd love to trade places with me right now," he remarked, phrasing his compliment to be more comfortable for Carlos to accept.

"Really?" He'd never been self-conscious about his looks, and he knew from covert glances and muted giggles that followed him in the hallway that girls found him attractive; however, there was still something comforting in receiving confirmation from someone he looked up to... someone with experience....

"Oh yes, the ladies would love to get their hands on you," Adam said. Kimberly would love the Black Ranger's hair. Tanya would like his mouth... Kat, his tush... and Aisha would gobble his dick right up!

While Carlos was still beaming from the compliment, Adam decided to get down to business. To that end, he pushed his companion backwards.

"Hey!" came the startled protest as the former soccer player went tumbling into the profusion of pillows. To the Black Ranger's astonishment, Adam pounced on him, pressing his body tight against him.

"Comfy?" the former Green Ranger quipped, grinning.

Carlos' answer was a soft moan. Where Adam's skin met his, the contact was electric. He hadn't known it would feel so good just to be touched.

However, Adam didn't linger in their delicious position; he eased himself down his partner's body, his hands lightly skimming and exploring the lean, hard frame. His touch had Carlos wiggling frantically. Apparently someone is highly susceptible to tactile stimulation, he observed, echoes of Billy's tone springing to mind. It would be interesting to see just how much Carlos got off on being touched, but he couldn't go there yet. He only had approval for a blowjob. He felt the strength of his partner's need in the way his hips thrust and ground against his denim-clad loins. The former Ranger glanced up the length of his companion. Carlos had his eyes tightly shut; his face was flushed --he was as embarrassed as he was excited. He licked his lips in anticipation... he was so far gone he could no longer control his responses. Adam wasted no more time and wrapped his hand around the Black Ranger's hot, engorged shaft.

"Ohhh maaaannnn...." Carlos moaned as Adam touched his cock. He let out a steam-like hiss as his partner essayed a firm, knowing stroke.

"Oh God," he sighed, giving himself over to the heat radiating out from his rigid pole and searing every fiber of his being. Adam's hand felt awesome as it slid up and down, the friction stirring him into a frenzy. However, just as he relaxed into the steady rhythm, Adam did something new. Carlos felt a hand cup his swollen balls, fondling and tugging on them. And if that wasn't incredible enough, he felt something else that made him open his eyes because he just couldn't believe what he was feeling.

He wasn't imagining things. His hot rod vanished between his lover's lips. He slid in and out easily with every bob of Adam's head. The sensation of that warm, wet cavern wrapped around his aching dick was mind-blowing. Then, Adam pulled off his prick only to bathe it with his soft tongue. The guy was licking him like an ice cream cone! But Carlos didn't truly lose it until his companion's mouth found his nuts.

Fortunately, Adam was prepared for his partner's reaction and never lost his place for all the bucking and writhing as Carlos' last vestige of control fled. It came as no surprise that when he returned the Black Ranger's hot meat to his mouth, the teen began thrusting of his own accord.

"I love your cock, Adam; it's soooooo suckable!"

Aisha's words came back to him as he worked the rod in his mouth. Now he understood what she meant by that. He was used to sucking some pretty hefty dicks. Carlos', however, was closer to his own dimensions --just a little thicker, but not as thick as Rocky's, which always gave him a good stretch. The current Black Ranger made for a comfortable mouthful, and Adam went down on him with relish. It wasn't long before he noticed the telltale signs of an imminent orgasm.

Carlos' hips snapped forward frenetically, and his fingers dug into the cushions. Every muscle in his body was tensed to the breaking point as the inferno boiling in his balls threatened to break loose. He felt his back arch, and he drove his dick deeper into Adam's mouth. He waited for Adam to pull off; couldn't the guy tell...? But his partner remained latched on. When he came, it was with a raw shout, and he sent spurt after spurt of hot come down Adam's throat. The former Ranger took every drop and milked him dry.

As he collapsed weakly against the satiny pillow, the foremost thought in his mind was, "You swallowed!"

Adam grinned at the disbelief in the other young man's voice. "Uh huh. Not bad, either." He almost laughed out loud at the startled expression. As he sat back and regarded his spent comrade, Adam felt a familiar fire growing in the pit of his belly as he looked on the tanned, sweaty body stretched out before him. How he wanted Carlos! It was a reaction not unlike a sympathy spike. Pavlovian response?

It had been a long time since he'd had a new lover, and he'd never been the non-powered partner with a spiking Ranger. The thought sent a frisson of excitement shuddering through him. The thought of being totally in control of oneself yet being allowed to indulge with total abandon... no wonder the others were eager to come back and help out! However, Adam gave himself a mental shake; he was getting ahead of the game here. Carlos hadn't said whether he wanted further help from him or not. He had no idea what Carlos' views on sex were --homosexual or heterosexual-- but whatever they were, they were about to be blown right out of the water, and everything he'd believed about his sexuality would be challenged. Though the original Rangers had made it through those early sexual trials on their own, they had been a lot easier to face with an experienced guide.

"Carlos, you okay?"

The Black Ranger bestirred himself from his post-climax lassitude; he was still trying to get his senses under control as he lay there panting. God, had that felt good! He had jerked off before, but never had an orgasm felt so awesome. And for the first time in a long while, he actually felt some measure of relief. It was a little easier to think of something besides sticking his dick into someone and fucking them for all he was worth. But the need was still there; he could feel it building again. He wondered if Adam wouldn't mind doing a second blowjob... which brought to mind a question.

"How come oral sex works but masturbation doesn't?" he asked.

Adam shrugged. "We never knew for certain, but we think it had something to do with just having a partner --like there was some sort of psychic component to all this, as well as hormonal. It pretty much fell out that the more intimate the contact with another person, the greater the relief."

Carlos scarcely heard him, his thoughts having already wandered on. He was kind of surprised by his desire to continue with Adam. He'd been expecting to feel guilty... maybe even a little ashamed for having accepted and enjoyed oral sex with another guy, but he didn't. He couldn't explain it, but somehow it seemed perfectly all right for Adam to help him out --that this was the way it should be between Rangers.

"Will it be this good with the girls?" he couldn't help but ask; although he couldn't see how it could get any better.

"Once they get a little practice," Adam replied with a quirky grin; although, he often found that familiarity with the equipment gave the guys the edge when it came to giving head.

Silence settled over the pair. For a few moments, the only sound in the chamber was Carlos' heavy breathing. They both knew what the next logical step was, but neither was certain how to pursue it. Finally, Adam spoke.

"Carlos, do you trust me?"

The questions startled the Black Ranger. Was Adam kidding? Of course he trusted him --he wouldn't even be here with him otherwise. If it was a matter of trust, he'd be asking his companion why he had trusted him: with his powers, the knowledge of his activities with his teammates....

"Sure."

"Enough to let me help you through your first time with another guy?"

Carlos grinned. He'd just been trying to work up the nerve to ask exactly that. As much as he thought he'd rather be with one of the girls, he realized the former Ranger was probably the best person to help him out. Beyond the practical reason of experience, Adam wasn't likely to slap him, deck him, or otherwise tell him he was out of his ever-lovin' mind!

"Yes," he replied. Then, he grinned nervously. "After seeing you in action with Zack...." He felt himself blushing hotly.

Adam patted his shoulder and smiled as he noticed his companion's cock twitching with new life. What he needed to do now was get a feel for what sort of knowledge Carlos did have. "Do you have any experience with girls?" he asked conversationally.

"I'm still a virgin, if that's what you mean," the Black ranger admitted.

"Not so much that.... Have you ever kissed a girl --I mean really kissed one?"

Carlos shook his head. He'd kissed his girlfriends, but he'd never dated any of them long enough to get into heavy making out.

"Want to get in some practice?" Adam offered, knowing that not everyone felt the same way about kissing their partners --especially same-gender partners. "It's not that much different with a guy, except for the razor stubble."

The young man chuckled at that. "Why not," he acquiesced; however, a lump formed in his throat as Adam eased him back, stretching out across him once more. For a moment, all the former Ranger did was look at him. Just when the suspense was going to kill him, his partner made his move. Adam's mouth claimed his in an unexpectedly fierce kiss.

At first, he wasn't sure what to do, but slowly, he relaxed and allowed himself to respond. His hands found their way to the back of Adam's head, holding him in place as his tongue probed his mouth. Carlos parted his lips, eagerly devouring Adam's hot, wet tongue.

While the two were swept up in the oral exchange, the passions their kiss stoked within them had their bodies undulating together heatedly. Carlos' hands began to wander, sliding down Adam's back and finding his butt. It slowly registered that he was grinding his cock into his partner's denim-encased bulge. Adam was getting as hot as he was. When he cupped his partner's imprisoned erection, his lover moaned huskily and gave his own needful thrust of the hips. Suddenly, Carlos was consumed by the urge to feel Adam's rod against him... to touch and taste....

Adam was a great kisser, and it was with much reluctance that Carlos tore himself away. "Y'know," he began, gulping for breath, "it's kind of hard to give someone a blowjob with his pants on."

The one-time Turbo Ranger smiled broadly at the echo of his earlier words. Without questioning his companion's decision, he stood and divested himself of his jeans and underwear.

Still somewhat amazed by what he was doing, Carlos tentatively reached for the phallus jutting towards him. He found Adam's rod hot, hard and smooth --like the rest of him-- and not unlike his own equipment. Gingerly, he stroked the shaft, delighting in the way it pulsed in his grip. The slit was already oozing clear fluid. He wanted a taste badly! As he drew nearer, the tangy scent of Adam's arousal hit his senses, and the brush of course curls against his face seemed magnified, as were Adam's moans as he filled his palm with the roughly textured sac. He ventured a tentative lick at the invitingly soft cap, which made Adam moan gutturally. Emboldened by the response, Carlos wrapped his lips around the glans then went down on his predecessor.

Adam's knees nearly gave out; it had been a while since he'd last gotten together with Rocky or any of the other guys, and Carlos' mouth felt heavenly. He clutched at his now-eager partner's head to steady himself, his fingers becoming lost in the silky obsidian locks of hair. His hips rocked forward, pumping steadily in and out of that deliciously wet orifice. However, things were rising a little too quickly. If he was going to do Carlos, he'd have to pace himself --quick turnaround time notwithstanding.

Just about that time, Carlos paused to catch his breath. "Man, I'm glad you're not hung like Zack; my jaws would be really killin' me!" He was about to resume when Adam held him back. "Did I do something wrong?"

Adam answered without really thinking. "No, but if you keep that up, the H.M.S. Bounty won't stay afloat much longer."

"H.M.S. Bounty?" Carlos repeated puzzledly. The guy had a name for his dick?

The former Ranger's cheeks turned scarlet, and he felt like kicking himself.

"Rocky," he sighed. For any of his other friends, that would have been sufficient explanation, but the Black Ranger was more befuddled than ever. "I have a rapid recovery time after coming, so Rocky took to referring to my cock as the Bounty because it's the quicker picker-upper.'"

Carlos laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes. Adam shrugged sheepishly. When the current Ranger could finally speak again, he said, "Sounds like you guys really had fun with all this."

"We did; we had some really good times," Adam replied wistfully. "You guys will, too, as long as no one gets uptight about it. So, what are you up for next?"

"How about docking your ship in my port --just like Zack did you your first time," Carlos answered jauntily, finding it easy to slip into the spirit of things.

"Aye-aye, captain," Adam chuckled. However, when he rejoined Carlos on the cushions, instead of making a move on his partner, he began rooting around through the pillows.

"What are you looking for?"

"One of the two things a horny Ranger should never leave home without... ah ha! I was hoping we'd left one here; they're hard to come by these days." Adam triumphantly held up a bottle of clear liquid. "Cranston's Homemade Personal Lubricant."

Sensible enough, Carlos reasoned, but he wondered about the brand name. If it was so scarce, maybe he could have D.E.C.A. try and replicate it. "By the way, what's the other thing we should never be without?"

"Baby wipes."

"Baby wipes?"

"You'll just have to trust me on that one."

Adam squirted a measure of lube into his palm and then slicked up his dick. He smiled, noting how intently his partner was watching him.

"Lay back," he instructed, and once he got Carlos' legs into position, he smeared some of the slippery fluid all along his lover's crease.

"Oh, wow!" the younger teen groaned. No one had ever played with his ass before; it felt wild! However, his muscles pulled taut when he felt a finger probing his hole.

"Just relax," Adam advised. He leaned forward and swiped his tongue across one of Carlos' nipples to distract him. While his response fell way short of Billy's, he obviously enjoyed the stimulation. Recalling how sensitive to touch Carlos had been earlier, Adam began running his tongue over random spots on his partner's body. He was hot in all the usual places as well as in some very unusual ones.

As for Carlos, he couldn't lay still. Adam's touch was electric, and the things he was doing with his mouth.... When Adam's warm, wet tongue swiped broadly along his palm, the fire that raced up his arm and shot straight to his groin nearly caused him to come right then.

"Man, I wish I could get the girls in here; they'd have a field day with you," Adam remarked, noticing that while Carlos had been writhing under his sweet torture, the Black Ranger had worked himself onto his finger. He gave it an easy pump... and Carlos almost leaped off the cushions.

"Oh God, if your finger feels this good...." Carlos gulped. That one finger gently moving in and out had set his blood on fire. He couldn't wait to feel Adam's cock in his ass! His eyes flickered shut as he wallowed in the electric sensation of being finger-fucked, and he whimpered in disappointment when the action ceased. However, his protests changed to anticipatory moans when he felt the head of his partner's dick pressing against his puckered opening.

"Just give it to me!" he growled, wild with the need to feel Adam inside him. And he felt himself opened with steady but gentle pressure.

Adam took his time in spite of his companion's urgings. Still, Carlos took him in far easier than he had anticipated, and feeling that tight ring about the base of his cock as he rested fully between the Black Ranger's cheeks nearly caused him to lose his load then and there.

Carlos could not hold back any longer and thrust his hips forward. His enthusiastic response made Adam grin.

"All right, all right; you're as bad as Rocky," he laughed as he began pumping in earnest --not that he really needed any prompting.

The Black Ranger was delirious with delight. Adam's cock was sending a million volts of sexual electricity shooting throughout his body. Every deep stroke touched places within him he never knew existed. And the way the former Ranger laid across him, kissing him as he fucked him, had his dick rubbing against that washboard stomach. The pleasure was almost more than he could bear. He felt the familiar fire blazing in his balls once more, and he grabbed onto Adam, holding on for dear life. Adam's hips rocked faster, slapping against his bottom.

"Uhhhnnn!" Adam cried out, slamming home as his orgasm erupted. Close on the heels of his exclamation came Carlos', and Adam felt his hot, sticky come ooze between their sweat-slick bodies. He held himself up as best he could, but his trembling arms gave way, and he rolled off his partner.

The two lay side by side, catching their breath.

"Oh wow," Carlos groaned at last. He sort of grimaced as he looked down his body and noted the cooling mess of white jism splashed all over his stomach. "I see what you mean about the baby wipes."

Adam laughed. "So, did that feel as good as it sounded?"

"Better!" Then, the Black Ranger's expression fell. "But I was hoping to get to do you, too."

"Don't worry; you'll be rarin' to go in no time," Adam assured him, reaching for his companion's flaccid tool.

"Especially if you keep that up," Carlos snorted, melting into the hand job. "Man, just wait until the others find out about.... Oh man, Adam, what am I going to tell the others?"

"Tell them the truth; they're hormones will back you up eventually. If need be, it's okay to tell them that I helped you out with all this."

"Thanks, but I don't think they'd believe it even if I did. I mean, I doubt either of the girls is really interested in us guys. Cassie has this thing for the Phantom Ranger, and Ashley... well, I guess she has the hots for Andros. There's no way TJ is into guys, and I really don't know about Andros...."

"He's human, isn't he?"

"He says he is."

"Then he should be familiar with spikes' already; he and his old teammates probably had different terms for them, though."

"If he already knows all this, then why didn't he tell us?"

"Maybe he assumed you already knew. I don't know. You should probably talk to him before going to the others just to see what he knows, but don't wait too long. Someone else is bound to spike soon," Adam advised.

"I will. And Adam... thanks."

"Any time, Carlos."

However, the Black Ranger had drifted off into a blissful haze as his companion tried to jump-start his cock. For as horny as he was, it sure seemed to be taking a long time.

"I know what would get me goin' again pretty quick," Carlos said suddenly.

"What's that?"

"Are there any more videos? That one of you and Zack was pretty hot, and I could go for all the pointers I can get."

"Well...." Adam hesitated; he wasn't sure how the others felt about knowledge of their activities getting around. He wanted to respect their privacy as much as possible; however.... "I don't think Rocky would mind my sharing one of our encounters; now there was a guy who could make sex interesting."

"I wish the others could check these out. Man, seeing is believing," Carlos continued as Adam moved once again to the computer console. "Too bad nobody videotaped us!"
