Title: Chance Meeting
By: Fran Holland
Pairing: Nick/Kimball Cho (The Mentalist)

“Nicky, can I see you a moment?”

Nick turned at the sound of Catherine’s voice and smiled.  “Sure, give me a second to stash this in my locker and I’ll be right there.”

Catherine returned his smile and nodded, “Okay.”

Nick continued towards the locker room, where he tossed his vest and grabbed his car keys.  He was tired and was glad that his shift was almost over.  Slamming his locker shut, he made his way to Catherine’s office.

Catherine was looking over a file when he walked in.  She looked up and smiled.  “I have a proposition for you.”

Grinning, Nick said, “Ah, Cath, I always knew you had the  hots for me.”

Shaking her head, she laughed softly.  “Sit down.”

Nick sat down and crossed an ankle over his knee.  After his was comfortable, Catherine took out a notebook and handed it to him. 

Confused, Nick looked at the cover and then up at Catherine.  “The Annual Round Table for Law Enforcement.  What’s this?”

“A few years ago, a few of the governors of California and Nevada decided that since our borders touch and there is so much travel between our two states that law enforcement should work together to aid each other.  Representatives from the FBI, CBI, NBI, Highway Patrol, a few of the larger police departments and our lab, since we are the biggest on the west coast.  Ecklie and I talked and we decided that with your experience and way with people, that you would be the best representative for our lab.”

Nick straightened in his chair, “Wow, Cath, that’s some compliment and I’m honored, but wouldn’t you be a better choice.  You have more experience with politics than I do.  I just do my job.  Ya know.”

Catherine tilted her head and smirked.  “Please, you can trash the country bumpkin persona.  You forget, I know you and I know where you come from.  The Stokes are one of the biggest political families in Texas, next to the Bushs.

Nick gave her a sheepish grin.  “Well, there is that.”

He opened the notebook and began flipping through it.  “So, what is it that I have to do?”

“You’ll fly to San Francisco on Sunday night.  The round table talks start on Monday morning.”

Nick’s eyes widened briefly when Catherine told him where the conference was going to be held.  Being a very closeted bi-sexual man, it had always been a fantasy to go to San Francisco and see the sights, so to speak.

“Alright.”  Nick stood and tucked the notebook under his arm.

“I suggest you do some reading.  The website for the Conference is in the notebook and you can read up on the last few years’ topics and the agenda for this year’s conference is in the notebook.”

“Shucks, Ma’am, I’ll do you proud.”  Nick said in an exaggerated Texas drawl.

Catherine laughed and threw a pen in his direction.  Nick ducked and slipped out of the door.

Kimball Cho sat in front of Agent Lisbon’s desk and fumed.  The notebook for some stupid conference lay on the chair beside him.  He refused to look at it.

Lisbon sighed heavily.  “Look, Agent Cho…”  She only called him by his title when she was pissed off.  “This is an honor.” 

“Right.  An honor.”  Kimball smirked.  “Then why don’t you go, or better yet, send Owian.”

“Look, Kimball, you are a great agent and that citation you got last year makes you look really great on paper.  We need you to represent us.  Out of all of us, I think you would be the best.”

Kimball rolled his eyes at her.  “Flattery will get you nowhere.”

She laughed and pointed to the notebook.  “There’s a website to read up on past conferences as well as an agenda for this year’s conference.  Since it is in San Francisco, the agency says you can drive one of our service cars.”

Kimball stood and turned to go.  It was only when he was back at his desk that he let himself smile.  San Francisco.  He’d been to San Francisco several times and loved the city.  He felt he could be himself there.  The smile became a frown when he remembered he’d be with a bunch of other law enforcement people and he knew that his sexual preferences would have to remain hidden on this trip.  It was a shame because his last visit was really fun.

****

Nick arrived in San Francisco on Sunday night.  It was raining heavily and by the time he got a cab and made it to his hotel, it was almost nine o’clock.  He had left a sunny Las Vegas at five.  He knew he had to take a sleeping pill tonight to get him on a “normal” schedule and he hated how it made him feel groggy in the mornings, but at least he’d get some sleep. 

Nick was at the front desk waiting for his turn to register when a handsome Asian man in a pair of tight fitting jeans and a black button down shirt got into the next line over.  Nick taste in men were usually the lean, blond types, but he had to admit to himself that this guy was hot.

He was so busy staring at the man while trying to look like he wasn’t staring that the woman behind the counter had to say, “Can I help you?” twice.

“Sorry, Nick Stokes, Law Enforcement Conference.”  His attention had returned to her so he did not notice the Asian man glancing his way.

Kimball noticed the other man staring at him and it had given his ego a boost.  The guy was lean and sexy.  Kimball imagined that under that shirt was a nice chest and six-pack abs. 

“Sir, can I help you?” 

“Huh, oh yeah, sorry….Kimball Cho.  Law Enforcement Conference.”

The woman behind the counter was handing Nick his key when he heard the other man say he was with the conference.  He gave a disappointed sigh.  Even though he knew that the chances he would spend any time with the Asian were slim, it was still a disappointment to realize that the guy was in law enforcement and therefore there would be no “mingling” with him.

Nick glanced at the key to Room 308 and  tucked it into his breast pocket and picked up his suitcase.  Heading to the elevators, he smiled to himself.  He would at least have a man for his fantasy tonight.  He could already feel his dick hardening at the thought.

Kimball got his own key and turned to see the other man heading towards the elevators.  He glanced at his key.  Room 306. 

Both men were silent as they stepped on the elevator together.  Nick was trying to look everywhere but at the other man.  Meanwhile, Kimball found the latch on his suitcase quite fascinating.  Nick pressed the button for the third floor.  “You?”

“Three.”  Muttered Kimball.

The elevator ride seemed endless to both of the men, but finally the car opened onto the third floor.  Glancing left, then right, Nick picked up his bag and headed down the hall.  Kimball got off the elevator and glanced once at the numbering system, followed Nick.

Nick smiled nervously at Kimball once they had both gotten to their rooms and were fumbling with their keys.  “Here for the conference, huh?”

“Yeah, got rooked into it.”

“Me too.”  Nick grinned.

Kimball thought the guy’s smile was breathtaking.  He quickly turned away and pushed his door open.  He shut behind him with a clank.

Nick shrugged and pushed his way into his own room.  He looked around.  The room was grand by any means and the king sized bed was on the wall on his left.  He sat his suitcase on the dresser, retrieved his shaving kit and took it into the bathroom.  He wanted a shower, but knew that he had to take his pill and get to sleep soon.  In ten minutes, Nick was in bed gazing out the window into the darkness.

Kimball’s room mirrored Nick’s, the bed being on the right wall.  He quickly hung up his garment bag, unzipping it so that his suits would have time to de-wrinkle.   After unpacking his suitcase and putting everything into drawers, Kimball undressed and got into the shower. 

The hot water felt great after being in the car most of the day.  Closing his eyes, Kimball let his mind wonder to the man in the next room.  His hand reached down to cup his balls and gave them a slight squeeze.  With one hand braced on the cool tiles and the other wrapped around his hard dick, Kimball was soon breathing hard and came hard with the image of the dark eyed man on his knees playing in his mind.

The sleeping pill was kicking in and Nick felt his body relaxing.  He turned off the light and lay in the dark thinking of the dark haired man next door.  Slowly, Nick ran his hands down his flat stomach to his already hard dick.  Nick had always been vocal in the bedroom and tonight was no exception.  As his hand quickened, Nick’s breathing became erratic and soon he was moaning.  “God, yes….yes….fuck me…oh…God.”  After his orgasm and once he got his breathing under control again, Nick got up and padded to the bathroom to wash the cool, drying cum off of his hands and stomach.  Once he was in bed again, he fell right off to sleep.

Kimball had heard a muffled sound through the wall and thanking God that no one could see him, he got up on his knees and placed his ear to the wall.  He could hear the moaning and occasionally he could make out a word.  Kimball’s eyes widened and his dick hardened again when he realized what the other man was doing.  Groaning, he allowed himself to fall back on the bed.  He squeezed his eyes shut and willed his erection away.  Unfortunately, it took him over an hour to fall asleep.

****

The wakeup call came way too early for Nick.  He rolled out of bed and took a long, hot shower.  Dressing in Khakis and a LVPD polo shirt, he picked up his wallet and notebook, then went downstairs to attend the registration breakfast.

As the elevator doors closed, Kimball emerged from his room.  He was dressed in a suit, his usual attire, even though the paperwork for the conference had said the dress was to be business casual.  There were dark circles under his eyes from both lack of sleep and the sleep he did have was laced with dreams of a dark haired man.

****

Nick stood and ate a donut and drank coffee while he people-watched.  The lobby of the hotel was where registration had taken place and there was a breakfast buffet set up in the corridor by the meeting rooms.  According to his notes, after registration, all the attendees would meet in one big room for a brief meeting and then be split up into smaller groups that would sit at large round tables.  Every hour, there would be break and you would be assigned a different table.  The subject matter of the discussion would change at each table.  A stenographer was assigned to each table and she did not move, she just recorded notes.  After the conference was over, the notes would be given to a special panel and hopefully, changes and reforms would be made.

Nick sat down in the back row of the assembly room and waited to begin.  He let his eyes wonder over all the attendees and grinned when his eyes caught a glimpse of the Asian man.  He was dressed in a suit complete with a nice tie.  Apparently, the guy was stiff and couldn’t relax.  Oh, well, Nick thought, he didn’t have a chance with him anyway.  Probably had a wife and 2.5 children back home.  That thought made Nick look down at the man’s hand and saw the absence of a wedding ring.

Kimball saw the object of his fantasies seated on the back row in the large room and decided to take a chance.  He grabbed a cup of coffee from the buffet and made his way over.

“Can I sit here?”

“Sure.”  Nick said with a slightly nervous smile.  “I’m Nick Stokes, Las Vegas Crime Lab.”  Nick held out his hand.

“Kimball Cho, CBI.”  Kimball clasped Nick’s warm hand and probably held it a bit longer than necessary but neither man seemed to notice.  Kimball finally sat and when his thigh accidently brush against Nick’s both men seemed to freeze.  Nick’s face turned crimson and Kimball began to stutter.
“Well…I…what do you do?....At the Crime Lab….I mean.”

It took Nick a few seconds to return to reality, he had a flashback of his hand on his dick and his finger inside his body, wishing it was this man touching him….fucking him.

“I’m a CSI….a level three.”  Nick said quietly.  Before either could say anything more, the assembly was called to order and the conference officially began.

Neither man had time to ponder their brief introduction since the morning went by in a blur.  Both men found the conference enlightening and enjoyed the subject matter of each table they sat. 

Nick kept his mind on the matters at hand, but when the tables switched, he caught himself looking around for Kimball.  Right before the lunch break, Nick spied him heading for the men’s restroom.  He didn’t need to go, but he followed anyway.

When Nick opened the door, he faltered.  Kimball was standing with his back to him at the urinal.  Nick swallowed hard and remained rooted to the spot.  Kimball had heard the door swish open and closed, but after a few seconds with no movement or noise, he turned his head slightly.  Nick stood there like a deer caught in the headlights.

Kimball gave him a questioning look and then turned back to finish.  He tucked himself back in his slacks and zipped up.  “Have you learned anything so far?” 

Nick’s eyes lowered to Kimball’s zipped fly and back up again.  Red-faced, he took a step backwards.  “I…don’t ….what?”

The light bulb went off in Kimball’s mind and he grinned.  He took a few steps in Nick’s direction and looked up at the slightly taller man.  “I asked if you learned anything.  I know I have.”

Nick swallowed, inhaling he got a whiff of Kimball’s woodsy cologne.  Kimball was close enough to touch now. 

“I guess I’ve learned a few things.  It’s been interesting.”  Nick said, not taking his eyes off of Kimball’s lips.  “I guess we should get back.”

“Yeah, lunch is in a few minutes.  I was planning on going to my room and taking a nap.”  Kimball moved past Nick so that his shoulder brushed against Nick’s and left the bathroom.

Nick leaned against the wall.  Did he hear the emphasis on the word nap or was he just imagining things? 

Looking at himself in the mirror, Nick said, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

Everyone had gathered back in the assembly room and after the announcements concerning lunch, the time for the afternoon session to begin was announced and everyone was dismissed.  Nick quickly looked around but didn’t see Kimball.  As quickly as he could, he got through the crowded corridor and found the closest elevator.

When he stood outside Kimball’s door, poised to knock, he realized what he was doing and his hand fell to his side.  He must have read more into.  Surely, Kimball Cho hadn’t hinted for Nick to come to his room.  That would be just too wonderful and Nick’s luck did not run to wonderful.  He turned to go to his own room and Kimball’s door opened.

“Change your mind?”  Kimball asked quietly, head cocked to one side.  Nick looked back and saw disappointment on the handsome Asian’s face.

“I wasn’t sure if you….I don’t know what this is.”  Nick’s finger moved back and forth between them.

“I’m just hoping that I didn’t read you wrong.”  Kimball wasn’t as sure of himself as he was downstairs and Nick found himself relaxing.

“If you were thinking that I find you attractive, then you’ve read me right.”  Nick said softly.

Kimball smiled.  “Good.  Why don’t you come in?”

****

Once the door closed, both men looked unsure what to do next.  Finally, Nick stepped forward and began to unknot Kimball’s silk tie.  Kimball reached out and gripped Nick’s hips and tugged him closer.  The tie dropped to the floor just as their lips met.  Tongue met tongue and soon, Nick was backed up to the wall with Kimball wrapped all around him.  Kimball’s hands seemed to be everywhere and Nick couldn’t seem to form a coherent thought. 

“Oh, Jesus.”  Nick gasped out when Kimball’s hand had worked its way inside his fly and briefs and grasped Nick’s hard dick.  Dropping to his knees, Kimball took Nick into his mouth and Nick’s knees almost buckled.  He closed his eyes for a second as Kimball’s hot mouth began to suck him hard and fast.

“You’ll make me come.”  Nick gasped out.  His hips were bucking as he fucked Kimball’s mouth.

Kimball’s answer was to look up at him and squeeze his balls while one of his fingers pushed inside Nick’s tight ass. 

“God, yes….I’m gonna come….fuck…..”  Nick’s vision went dark for a moment as his semen pumped into Kimball’s mouth.  Kimball continued to softly suck his dick until he was clean and flaccid.   He stood and grabbed Nick’s hand and led him to the bed.  Pushing him down, Kimball took off his blazer and slowly began to unbutton his shirt.

“I heard you last night.”  At Nick’s confused look, Kimball grinned.  “I was here in this bed listening to you jack off.  It really turned  me on, I couldn’t sleep for a long time.  I keep imagining you naked and under me.”

Nick gave him a lazy smile.  “I was thinking of your dick in my ass when I was getting myself off.”

Kimball groaned out loud and Nick laughed.  “Hurry up and get your clothes off.” 

Kimball did not need to be told twice.  His shirt was thrown on the floor and his shoes and socks soon followed.  Once his pants were unzipped and halfway down his legs, he paused.  Looking at Nick sprawled across the bed, he made a gesture with his hand.  “I think you should be undressing too.”

Nick rolled off the bed and before Kimball could get his pants and boxers off, Nick was down to a pair of very sexy, red boxer briefs.  The front of the briefs were damp where Kimball’s mouth had been before.  Nick looked at Kimball’s body and smiled warmly.  “Nice.”  He walked forward and ran his hands down the defined chest. He liked the fact that it was hairless like his own.  His thumb rubbed over one of Kimball’s nipples and before he knew it, he was flat on his back in the middle of the bed.  He felt the head of Kimball’s month on his nipples, and hissed when Kimball’s teeth gently bit him.  Kimball tugged the briefs down Nick’s legs and tossed them on the floor.  Looking down at the man under him, Kimball smiled and licked his lips.  “You are so hot.”

Nick smiled, “You aren’t so bad yourself.”  He reached up and cupped the back of Kimball’s neck and brought him down for a long kiss.  He felt Kimball’s dick brush up against his thigh and he reached down to wrap his fingers around it. 

Kimball’s eyes opened and met Nick’s.  “I want you.”

In answer, Nick spread his legs.   Kimball reached over to the nightstand and found the small single use container of lubrication and the condom he had sat there when he had arrived at the room earlier.  Their eyes remained locked on each other as Kimball bit off the corner of the condom and slipped it down onto his dick. 

Nick took the small tube of lubrication and tore the top off of it.  He squeezed some in his fingers and lowered his hand to his tight hole.  Kimball watched as Nick rubbed the lubrication over the pinkness and gasped when Nick’s finger disappeared.  Nick fucked himself while Kimball’s eyes went from Nick’s face, his eyes closed in concentration, and back to the sight of Nick’s fingers moving in and out.  After a few minutes, Nick pulled his finger out and squeezed more lubricant on them.  He took Kimball’s dick into his slick hand and rubbed up and down. 

“Now.”  Nick said softly.  “Fuck me now.”

Kimball moved between Nick’s thighs and slowly guided his dick to Nick’s waiting hole.  He rubbed the head of his dick around the sensitive area until Nick began thrusting.  Looking up into Nick’s eyes, Kimball pushed the head into Nick’s hot, tight body.   Nick moaned and let his neck arch back. 

Slowly, Kimball pushed in, pausing occasionally to let Nick’s body adjust.  When he was all the way in and his balls rested against Nick’s tight ass, he stayed still.  Nick opened his eyes again and met those of the Asian man.  With a sly smile, Nick’s hand went to one of his nipples and began to squeeze.  With the other hand, the one that was slick, he gripped his dick and squeezed.  Kimball looked down at his dick where it had disappeared into Nick’s ass and then up at Nick’s hand moving slowly up and down his dick.    He pulled out slowly until just the head was inside of Nick, then quickly he thrust inside him again.  Nick grunted, but returned the next thrust. 

Kimball felt sweat running down his back and between his legs.  He wanted to make Nick come with his dick alone.  He grabbed Nick’s hand and pushed it down to the bed and held it.  His thrusts got faster and deeper.  Nick was grunting with each thrust but continued to raise his hips for more.

“Come for me. Come with my dick in your ass.” 

Nick pinched his nipple hard and then felt his orgasm begin.  “Uh, yes.  God, gonna come. “ 

Kimball watched Nick’s dick as it pulsed and spurts of semen shot out over Nick’s stomach and chest.   He released Nick’s hand and ran his finger over some of the cum.  He pushed the finger into Nick’s mouth and Nick cleaned it off.  Kimball thought that was one of the most erotic sights he had ever seen and felt his own orgasm take him.

He grunted and jerked as he filled the condom.

****

Both men were quiet as they lay side by side trying to get their breathing back to normal.  Finally, Nick glanced up at the digital clock next to the bed.

“I guess I should go shower.  Don’t want to be late.”  This was that part he dreaded the most.  Not knowing what to say.  Wanting to see the guy again, but not wanting to push, not wanting to appear clingy.”

“Shower with me.”  Kimball said, surprising both Nick and himself.

Before he could second guess himself, Kimball rolled off the bed and went into the bathroom.  He started the shower and stepped into the spray of the hot water.  Nick soon followed and it just seemed natural to him to soap up Kimball’s muscular back.  Kimball’s hands raised above his head and he rested them, palms down, on the tiled wall.  Nick’s soapy hands moved down to rub over the strong cheeks of his ass and soon he felt a soapy finger rubbing against his puckered hole.  He pushed back some and Nick pushed his finger in.  Finger fucking him slowly, Nick leaned against the strong back and whispered in Kimball’s ear.  “Does it feel good?”

“God, yes…  Don’t… stop.” 

Nick eased another finger inside and he felt Kimball tense.  He bit down on Kimball’s shoulder and reached around him with his other hand and cupped his balls.  “I want to fuck you until you scream.”

“Yes, yes….please.”

Nick pulled his fingers out and stepped back.  “Later tonight.”  Then he stepped out of the shower.

He heard Kimball’s groan of frustration and smiled.  He rubbed his own hard dick a few times and then began to towel off.  Kimball turned off the water and opened the shower curtain.  Dick screaming for attention, he scowled at Nick.  “You will pay for this tonight.”

Nick laughed.   But the joke was on him because the rest of the afternoon, he kept replaying the sex over and over in his mind.  He just could not wait to have Kimball on his hands and knees while he fucked that hot, tight ass. 

The End
