He had never been so scared in his life. Even when his plane was going down in flames last week, he never thought he would end up like this. He was naked and chained in a cell at SS Headquarters. No food or water for three days. No one came to see him or check on him. He was cold and tired; the chains made it hard for him to sleep. //They're trying to break me, I know it. They're trying to wear me down. I won't let that happen.// He hummed the Star Spangled Banner, Yankee Doodle Dandy, songs from the Hit Parade, anything to keep him focused. He was an American, and they wouldn't break him. Suddenly, the door swung open. Mulder looked up to see a tall man step through it. He was wearing the black uniform of the SS. The iron cross at his neck was black, encrusted with diamonds. The eagle on his hat, holding the wreath with the swastika inside, gleamed in the dim light. A swastika armband encircled his left bicep. His black jackboots were so shiny, Mulder could see his face in them. The officer looked down at the quivering form of Mulder on the floor as the door swung shut with a loud clang. "Lt. Mulder. How nice to finally meet you in person. I am Commandant Krycek." The officer bent down to get a closer look at his captive. Those hazel eyes showed defiance. He stood back up to his full height for a minute before producing a key. He bent again and began unlocking Mulder's shackles. Mulder rubbed his wrists and ankles, which were red and swollen. The metal had cut into his flesh, leaving a scar around each limb. "How are you enjoying your stay with us? You are getting special treatment, you know. The other prisoners don't have the luxury of having a roof over their heads. Being winter, you should be grateful." Krycek stood to put the key back inside a pocket. He then knelt down beside his captive again, his green eyes narrowed, mouth twisted into a smirk. "Lt. Mulder, you have some information that I want. And you are going to give it to me. What I want to know, Lt. Mulder, is what your Air Force has planned for us? Bombing raids, when and where?" Mulder was silent. Krycek put a boot on top of the welt on Mulder's ankle and pressed down, gaining a groan of pain from the other man. "Come, come, Lt. Mulder. I know that you know this information. You would not be here if you didn't." He pressed down on Mulder's ankle, making him howl with pain. Krycek sighed and stopped pressing on his ankle. "F-F-Fox Mulder, Lieutenant, United States Air Force, 15769823," Mulder sputtered. Krycek looked at him with contempt. "The Geneva Convention does not apply here." "Fox Mulder, Lieutenant, United States Air Force, 15769823," Mulder said again, this time more strongly. "Mulder, Mulder, what kind of name is that anyway? Huh? You Americans are all impure. You reproduce with whomever you choose, creating mutts like dogs." Mulder spat at the man before him. "Fuck you." Krycek's face started to turn red. "You want to play games with me? I'll play games, little man." His hand came up and down hard as he slashed Mulder across the cheek with his riding crop. Mulder howled once again as the crop left a bloody wound across his cheek. Krycek then continued to smack Mulder all over his body with the riding crop, leaving bruises and cuts. "Fox Mulder, Lieutenant, United States Air Force, 15769823," Mulder said shakily. "You are starting to bore me." "Fox Mulder, Lieutenant, United States Air Force, 15769823." Krycek looked down at Mulder's bleeding cheek. The blood was starting to run down his chin and leave crimson droplets on the floor. He sucked in his breath. The blood was so red. He brought Mulder to his feet, staring at the blood, before moving in and licking up the trail with the tip of his tongue. "Fox Mulder, Lieutenant, United..." Mulder sucked in his breath in shock. What the hell was he doing? Krycek continued to lap up the blood, a small moan escaping his lips. His eyes were closed, and he was practically purring. He held Mulder by the shoulders, sucking on his chin, getting every last drop. When the blood stopped flowing, Krycek leaned back, licking his lips. "What are you, some kind of vampire?" "Hmph." Krycek's eyes gleamed an icy green. "Are you going to tell me, Lt. Mulder, what I need to know? Hmmm??" He caressed the wounded cheek with his leather-gloved hand. Mulder continued repeating his name, rank and serial number. Krycek sighed. "If you won't tell me what I want to know, I'll find a better use for that mouth." Mulder stopped speaking as he had temporarily lost the ability. He stared at the Nazi, terrified by the lust he saw in his eyes. He winced as Krycek started caressing him with the riding crop, following the contours of his body. The noticeable bulge in the crisp, black SS uniform pressed into his leg. Mulder closed his eyes and used all his willpower to keep from screaming. //This can't be happening, this can't be happening.// Suddenly, Krycek stopped what he was doing and looked down. It seemed that some of Mulder's blood had marred the shine on his perfect boots. He pushed Mulder down on all fours. "Clean up your mess." He pointed to his boots. "What?" Mulder looked at the drops of blood on the shiny black leather. "N-n-no, I won't do it. I can't do it." "What do you mean, you won't? Do it. Now." "I can't." Krycek's face turned red. "You will!" He smacked Mulder across the buttocks with his riding crop, bringing a fresh bout of welts. "Do it!" he screamed. Mulder could feel the welts rising on his skin. The pain was incredible. Slowly, he bent forward, bringing his face down to the Commandant's boots. He was almost gagging, he couldn't do it. He hovered above the shiny black leather. Suddenly, the riding crop smacked him again, this time across his back. He let out a cry as he bent his head to try again. He lapped at the boots once with his tongue, shuddering at the taste of his own blood. He pulled away with a cry of disgust, shaking. A smile crossed Krycek's face. He loved it when prisoners were forced to submit. But this was just the beginning for Lt. Mulder. He had grand plans for him. Krycek stepped back and undressed quickly. He stood before Mulder again, this time wearing only his boots and his hat. "Stay where you are, Lt. Mulder," he said softly. "Do not move." Krycek ran the riding crop over Mulder's body again, over the welts on his back and buttocks then down. He could hear Mulder suck in his breath as he ran the crop between the American's ass cheeks. He paid special attention to that area, rubbing the end of it against the ring of muscle there. Mulder didn't know whether to moan or cry. He bit his lip to keep from doing either. "Finish cleaning my boots." Krycek said, slapping him lightly on the ass to reiterate the obvious punishment if he did not. Shaking, Mulder bent his head and lapped up the smooth, shiny leather. First one boot, then the other. He breathed a sigh of relief as he ran his tongue around the top of the second boot. Finished, he sat back, finally able to breathe. "Keep going." Mulder looked up in disbelief. "What?" "Keep going." The crop came up to threaten the man below him. He looked at the German without comprehension. "Clean me now." He looked at the Nazi in horror. His stomach turned as he realized what he wanted him to do. "I said now." "I can't. Please," he whimpered. Krycek pressed the tip of his crop inside Mulder warningly. Shaking violently, Mulder returned his tongue to Krycek's legs. This time above the shiny leather. He ran his tongue up the skin, tasting him, wanting to spit the taste out of his mouth. When he got to the thigh, he switched to the other leg, returning to just above the top of the boot. "Higher!" Krycek demanded. Mulder moaned faintly, praying he would just kill him, instead of making him do this. Suddenly, the crop came up again to threaten him. Mulder raised his arms to block its blow. Instead the crop caressed his chin and brought his face up to meet the German's gaze. "Your face is too pretty for such scars." Mulder could feel tears well up in his eyes. "Now. Higher!" "No! You can kill me, but I won't do it!" "Oh, I won't kill you, my pretty American. But I will throw you in with the criminals. What do you think they will do to you? You will be the popular one, for certain." Mulder's mouth opened and closed as he realized that being raped by one man was better than by a dozen. He forced himself to move closer to the Commandant, almost sobbing as his tongue came into contact with the hot flesh again. He could smell the musk of the other man's arousal. He licked up to where thigh met groin. Krycek let out a small moan as Mulder slowly moved up to where the dark, curly hair was. He swallowed the lump down in his throat as his tongue made its way up to the Nazi's heavy sac. "Suck me!" the German ordered, not touching him, preferring to force him to do it on his own. Mulder tried, licking tentatively, gagging at the taste. "I said suck, not lick. Don't you know the difference?" He raised his crop at Mulder again. "Fucking American dogs, so stupid," he muttered under his breath. Mulder swallowed a moan, trying not to let the Commandant see just how much this was upsetting him. He wouldn't give him the satisfaction. Reluctantly, Mulder took the tip of the man's cock in his mouth. Tears welled up in his eyes as he started to suck on the fragile skin. He contemplated biting down, but knew that if he did, he would never get out alive. Despite everything, he still hadn't given up hope of surviving this ordeal. Krycek started to thrust into his mouth, forcing him to take the cock deep into his throat. He closed his eyes and moaned as he started to fuck Mulder's mouth. Mulder started to gag, but Krycek didn't move away. He managed to relax his throat muscles before he choked. "That's it. Suck it down." Krycek grabbed a handful of Mulder's hair and pulled hard as he came into the American's mouth. Tears streamed down Mulder's face as he pulled back. He spit Krycek's come on the floor in the corner, unable to swallow the bitter liquid. He gagged, then started to choke. Krycek hit him, knocking him flat on the floor. Staring at the American at his feet, Krycek decided to make it far worse for him. The Commandant dropped down, straddling Mulder, reaching out to take his cock into his hand. He was going to make Mulder participate and enjoy it. He stroked the limp cock, gripping it warningly when Mulder tried to pull away. Mulder was horrified to feel himself begin to harden. The nazi couldn't resist and reached out and pinched one of Mulder's nipples. Mulder couldn't prevent a cry of unwilling pleasure from escaping him. Krycek leaned down, taking Mulder's erection in his mouth. He loved to do this. //I can't do this, I can't do this.// Mulder thought to himself. //But it feels so good.// Krycek swirled his tongue over the head, gaining another moan from Mulder who arched up into his mouth. He barely prevented himself from begging for more. Mulder was caught between the pleasure of and the disgust of Krycek sucking his cock. Krycek was hard again by now, aroused by the sight of the beautiful American writhing under him. He wanted to put that hardness to good use, but he wanted Mulder willing. Taking two fingers, he sucked on them for a minute, coating them with saliva. Reaching down, he inserted one, then another into Mulder's tight opening, stretching him quickly. Mulder bit his lip and held still, using all his strength not to thrust those fingers deeper into him. Suddenly, he was on all fours, and the Nazi was quickly entering him, stretching him farther and farther apart. Mulder cried out at the pain, but there was pleasure as well. Krycek slammed into Mulder, his balls slapping against the American's ass. And what a sweet ass it was. So tight, so hot. He reached over and took hold of Mulder's cock, stroking him in time with his thrusts. Mulder moaned, he could feel that he was going to come. How could he be enjoying this? This man was his enemy, his captor, his rapist. The thoughts fell from his mind as his creamy fluid shot out of his cock onto the stained concrete below. Finally, he couldn't hold back a cry of pleasure. Krycek grinned in triumph and slammed into him one more time. He let out a cry of his own as he came deeply into the American's ass. He pulled away from Mulder, who curled up into a ball of misery on the floor. Krycek dressed quickly and started to leave the cell. He stopped at the door to look back at the shivering man. "I hope you choose not to answer my questions again tomorrow." He laughed to himself as the door closed again with a loud clang, leaving Mulder to sob quietly to himself on the floor. Chapter 2: The Deal Fox Mulder was still scared. Not to mention tired, cold, and his ass was incredibly sore. He tried to curl up into a ball in his cell, but the chains prevented him from doing so. He groaned in pain as they cut deeper into his wrists and ankles. They moved him to another cell this morning; it was quieter here at the end of the hallway. He could sleep a little. But it was so cold, and they hadn't given him a blanket. He shivered constantly, trying to generate some warmth by moving as much as possible in the chains they had put back on him after Krycek left him the day before. He sniffed a tear away as he thought about what happened yesterday. How the hell could he have had an orgasm with that Nazi pig? How could he find pleasure in such a despicable act? He tried to throw up afterward, but he had not eaten in four days. This happened every time he thought about what he had done with the Nazi. He didn't know if the memories or the dry heaves hurt more. He started to convulse again, the chains pulling tight as he choked and fought back the bile that wouldn't come. He had to calm down, had to remain in control, had to keep the faith. Someone would come and rescue him, he was an American dammit! They couldn't treat him this way. "They can't treat me this way," he whispered as another tear slid down his cheek. Sturmbahnfuehrer Krycek looked in the mirror and straightened his uniform. He loved how the starchy, black material complimented his skin tone. Black was his color. He fiddled with his Knights Cross of Iron around his neck. It was hard to keep straight as it was so heavy. It took patience and time to get it right. He had little of either. He did not receive the highest honor in the Third Reich by being patient. Three years on the Eastern Front, being a good soldier is what got you medals here, not ass kissing and politics. Krycek smiled to himself as he thought of his proudest moment. He led the advance on Kharkov, killing hundreds in various painful ways. He had been decorated three times before that for other battles along the Front. One time he and a Panzer Division wiped out a whole village. They killed everyone, save for the young men whom they tortured for five days then killed anyway. The Eastern Front was no picnic. The fourth time he was decorated, it was here in Berlin by the Fuehrer himself. That's when the SS took note of his interrogation techniques and made him the offer. His Uberbahnfuehrer at that time was quite proud of young Krycek. He would sit back and smoke cigarette after cigarette while watching Krycek hone his craft. Unfortunately, in war, all must die, including his smoking colleague. A shot in the temple by a British weapon was all it took, sometimes. Now he had Lt. Mulder to keep him busy. //He will talk. He will submit. And if he does not talk, he will submit again and again.// A laugh escaped his lips as he pulled on the large black hat. The skull and crossbones that decorated it below the eagle and swastika shone brilliantly in the light. "Welcome to hell, Lt. Mulder. I am the Devil. And you will be worshipping at my feet before I'm done with you." He laughed again as he stepped away from his mirror and gave himself a final look before leaving his quarters. Mulder looked up, eyes wide as the door swung open. The walls and door were so thick that he could not hear them come down the hallway. At any minute, such as this particular one, someone could walk through the door. Mulder swallowed, his mouth bone dry. It was him. He was wearing a long, leather trenchcoat over his uniform. How Mulder wanted that coat. He was so cold, so tired. Krycek bent down and looked at his captive. "How is my little dog today? Hmmm? My little American mutt." He reached out and caressed the scab on Mulder's cheek from his torture yesterday. "Are you ready to talk, my little dog? Or do you want more of what happened yesterday?" Mulder tried very hard to keep from heaving. He couldn't talk. He was horrified to think of what happened yesterday. "Tell me, Lt. Mulder. When are your allies planning their next bombing raid? Where is it going to be? Berlin, Bonn, Hamburg? Where?" He saw the terror in Mulder's eyes. Once again he reached out to touch the scab on his cheek with a leather-gloved hand. "You will tell me these answers, Lt. Mulder," he whispered. "N...n....no. I won't. You'll have to kill me first," Mulder croaked. Krycek's eyes narrowed. This was not what he wanted to hear. "You will! Have you not learned your lesson from yesterday? Hmm? Do you want more of the crop?" Krycek brandished the riding crop to embellish his point. "I won't...I won't betray my country." "Fuck your country." Krycek drew up the riding crop and started beating Mulder relentlessly. Mulder cried out in pain from each blow. Krycek made sure to reopen many of Mulder's wounds from the previous whipping, watching the blood flow with lust blazing in his cold green eyes. He stopped. He was panting as hard as Mulder. Turning, he took off the gloves, then the heavy coat and hat and hung them on one of the hooks on the wall. "P-p-p-please," moaned Mulder. Krycek's eyes narrowed again as he knelt before his captive. The blood was flowing freely now from various wounds on his body. He bent over Mulder and once again licked several of the lashmarks, lapping away the blood hungrily. As each cut stopped bleeding, he repeated the process on another one, leaving only the one on Mulder's face untouched. He didn't want that one to scar. Mulder whimpered as he felt the Nazi's tongue run over his wounds. //Not again, not again. No, not again.// He tried to remain calm but started bucking and convulsing again. Krycek stood back for a minute before producing the key to unchain Mulder from his shackles. As he unlocked the last one, Mulder scurried to cower in a corner. Krycek raised his eyebrows. //Yes, just like a little dog.// He was still hot. He took off his jacket and the Iron Cross around his neck. Now was the time to make his deal. "Lt. Mulder, how would you like some food?" Mulder looked over at the man towering above him. He was so hungry, just the mention of food sent his stomach growling. "Food?" Krycek's mouth twisted into a leer. "Yes, food. But this food is not free." He knelt before Mulder again and started caressing his thigh. "All food must be bought." Mulder stared at Krycek in horror. //Did he just say what I thought he said?// "No fucking way!" Krycek looked at Mulder for a minute, his face growing red. "I don't believe you have a choice." Krycek then left the cell. "Oh god, please don't let him do this to me again," Mulder whimpered Krycek came back a minute later with a small tray of food. "If you touch this, I will draw and quarter you. We still do that, you know." Krycek let out a small laugh before proceeding to get undressed. He stripped down and put his boots back on before looking at Mulder again. "Now. A piece of bread requires you to lick my boots. Both of them. You may begin now." Mulder looked up at the contempt in the Nazi's eyes. "Please don't make me do that again." "As I said, Lt. Mulder, you have no choice. Now, clean my boots." Mulder knelt down and stuck his tongue out. He gagged once before applying it to Krycek's boots. He licked one, then the other, choking down sobs the whole way. "That's it, my little doggy, lick them clean." Krycek said. He had to admit, Lt. Mulder was a very good prisoner. Always willing to do just what his captors wanted him to - except talk - but that would change. When Mulder had finished his job, Krycek handed him a piece of brown bread. It was heavenly. A strong nutty flavor, moist, the best bread he had ever tasted. Mulder ensured to take small bites as his stomach might not be able to handle large pieces after having nothing in it for days. Krycek waited until Mulder was finished before tilting his head up with the riding crop. He noticed how his hazel eyes had flecks of gold in them. "You must be thirsty after that bread. You may clean my legs with your tongue for a sip of water." Mulder's mouth opened and closed, but then his eyes dropped in defeat. He rose to his knees and put his hands on the back of Krycek's legs. If nothing else, being close to this Nazi pig gave him some warmth. One after the other, Mulder licked up the legs before him, stopping at the crease where leg met thigh, as he did yesterday. "That was very good. You may now have your water." Krycek handed Mulder a small tin cup, filled to the brim with cool, clean water. Mulder took the cup carefully, so as not to spill even a single drop, and drank the water down, hoping to rinse the taste of Krycek from his mouth. He handed the cup back to Krycek. Finally, food and water. How long had it been? Would it be enough to sustain him, or would it just be enough to keep him alive to have them torture him until the end of the war? Whenever that would be. "This is a small bowl of broth." Krycek pointed to an object on the tray. "It's not much, but it's better than the other prisoners are getting. I would like you to stand and lick my nipples. I want you to do a good job too. When I am satisfied, you may have the broth." Mulder stood up, Krycek helping him to his feet. They were face to face. He was about 2" shorter than the other man, which Mulder attributed to the boots. He was not that old either, 32, 35 at the most. His green eyes were like emeralds, almost glowing. They might have been kind eyes at one time but now showed the ravages of war, hard and cold like ice. Mulder bent down and put his arms around his captor; Krycek was so warm. He began licking one brown, flat nipple, bringing it to a hard peak. Krycek closed his eyes and sighed. Oh, this felt good. He wove his hand through Mulder's hair, bringing his head over to his other nipple. Mulder tugged on it with his teeth, nipping at the hairs that surrounded it. Krycek could feel himself start to harden. His cock ached to be touched. Finally, he brought Mulder's head away from his chest. "That was very good, Lt. Mulder. You may now have the broth." He handed the tin bowl to Mulder, who started drinking it down slowly, his hazel eyes locked on his own. When Mulder was done, he took the bowl from him and replaced it on the tray. Krycek smiled. "I have something here that not too many people have, Lt. Mulder. I have an orange. The whole thing is yours if you suck my cock. What do you say?" "Do I have a choice?" "Yes. I can chain you up again, and you can watch me eat the orange." Mulder licked his lips. He wanted that orange. "Have you ever known someone to die of scurvy, Lt. Mulder? All your insides turn to jelly, the tissue disintegrates, it's quite messy. On the eastern front, scurvy is rampant. I will not bore you with tales of death and disintegration right now, however. What's it going to be?" Mulder nodded his head. "I'm glad. Now. Suck my cock." Mulder knelt before the man and steadied himself for a minute before taking a deep breath. He pulled Krycek's foreskin back, showing a purple headed cock. It was very hard. Mulder licked the tip, bringing a shudder from above. He could smell the other man's musk, feeling with horror his own cock react to it. Licking the underside of the head, his lips closed around it. Applying steady suction, he took in another inch, then another, forcing himself to relax his throat muscles. His own cock was starting to throb. How could this be turning him on? How could his own body betray him like this? He continued to suck on the Nazi's cock, swirling his tongue around and around, gaining satisfied sighs from above. Krycek sucked in his breath. How he loved this man's mouth. He knew exactly what to do with his tongue as well. It didn't take long for Krycek to start moaning and bucking, fucking Mulder's mouth. Finally, with a grunt, he came, emptying himself down Mulder's throat. When Mulder finished swallowing, he brought him up for a kiss. He needed to taste himself in the other man's mouth. Mulder pulled away, his hazel eyes filled with confusion. //What the hell was that?// Krycek just smirked at him before turning away for a minute. When he turned back, he had the orange in his hand. He started peeling the orange, looking over at Mulder, noticing his erection. "You have paid well for this morsel, Lieutenant." Mulder's mouth watered as he smelled the zest of the orange release its tart scent. Krycek decided to take his time peeling the orange and dividing it into sections. The perfect flesh glistened. Krycek took one of the sections and pressed it against Mulder's lips. The mouth opened and took it inside. Section after section was fed to Mulder this way. Mulder was in bliss. How could a thing like an orange be so sensual? He closed his eyes as another section of orange was pressed against his lips. Not only did he take the succulent bit of orange but the fingers that held it inside his mouth, sucking on them, licking them. God, what was he doing? Was this real? A shiver ran up Krycek's spine. He was starting to harden again. Just the look of Mulder, holding onto his wrist, licking the juice from his fingers was enough to bring a silent moan to his lips. "That's good, lick it all up, get every last drop." When Mulder was done with the orange, Krycek kissed him again. His tongue explored the other man's mouth, tasting the sweet acidity of the orange. He noticed that Mulder had relaxed somewhat. He kissed him some more, his hands caressing the prisoner's back. Krycek moved in to rub his crotch against Mulder, letting their erections touch. A moan entered his mouth from the one before him. That was just what he wanted to hear. A shockwave ran through Mulder. Did he just moan? Why was this particular man making him so hard? Suddenly, Krycek pulled away. Mulder suppressed the whimper that formed on his lips. A gasp was let out instead as Krycek started to kiss down his neck and down, latching on to a nipple. Mulder released another moan. Oh god, this felt so good. How could this be? How could he get pleasure from a Nazi who, by the looks of the decorations on his uniform, had killed many. He was SS for Christ's sake! Krycek was rock hard. The smell and taste of this man was like nothing he had smelled or tasted before. He forced himself to pull away and look at Mulder. His lips were swollen from the kissing, as well as passion. He stroked the side of his face with his hand before stepping away and laying his coat on the floor. He then lay flat on his back, hands behind his head, bringing Mulder down to crouch beside him. "How would you like a blanket?" Mulder's eyebrows rose. "How?" Mulder couldn't imagine what more the Nazi could want from him. "There is one thing yet to do, Lieutenant. For that, you may have a blanket. Come here. I want you to kneel over me, straddling my waist." Krycek knew that this was risky, but Mulder was weak from lack of food, and he wasn't a fool. The American knew he couldn't escape, so Krycek was willing to gamble for the resulting pleasure. Mulder obeyed his captor but, at the same time, tried to keep his ass from making contact with the German. No luck, Krycek forced him to sit down on his haunches, bringing his ass into the cradle of Krycek's pelvis. Mulder sat frozen, afraid to move, until Krycek's hand behind his neck forced him to bend forward to meet the other man's kiss. The position made it easy for Krycek to slide his other hand over the American's ass. He stroked one finger lightly over the tight ring of muscle, his hand on Mulder's neck holding him down when he jumped at the sensation. Krycek gradually worked three fingers inside Mulder, one after the other, making the other man whimper with pleasure at the sensation. Finally, when Mulder was thrusting uncontrollably back on those fingers, unable to stop himself despite his horror, Krycek pulled out of him. Mulder whimpered in protest before he realized what he was doing. He was so close to coming, his cock dripping with pre-cum. "If you want more," Krycek whispered, "you have to take me inside you." Mulder stared at him blankly, his hips still moving involuntarily. Krycek tilted his pelvis suggestively, brushing his cock against Mulder's ass. Mulder's eyes widened as he realized what Krycek wanted him to do. "No!" Krycek just laughed, stroking Mulder's cock and balls, keeping him on the brink. He kept playing with the American's body until the other man was nearly screaming, desperate to come. Every so often he stroked the yearning hole, never going inside despite Mulder's frantic movements. "Take me into you," he repeated, holding his cock steady to make it easier for the American...this time. Finally, tears running down his face, Mulder shifted back until the cock pressed against his entrance. He closed his eyes, unable to look at Krycek at this moment, and forced himself down on it in one long, slow glide. Krycek waited until he was nearly all the way inside Mulder before catching his hips and slamming him down while he thrust upward. Mulder screamed when Krycek's cock hit his prostate, overwhelmed by the pleasure. Krycek forced himself to lie still, making Mulder do all the work. When he was close, he started to thrust into Mulder's ass and stroke his cock in the same rhythm. Mulder started sweating in the damp cold of the cell. This felt so good, so good. Oh god, how could this feel so good? Coherent thought was ripped from Mulder's mind as his orgasm traveled through his body. His eyes fluttered closed for a second as the bright light shone brightly from behind his eyelids. His body felt as if it was being turned inside out, and a raw moan escaped his throat. He wanted to collapse on top of the other man, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, couldn't show him he enjoyed it that much. Krycek thrust his hips up one, two, three times, then he was done. A grimace crossed his face as he came into the American with a cry. He breathed hard, his breath steaming in the rapidly cooling air of the cell. He looked up at Mulder, who was breathing heavily as well. Mulder disengaged himself from the German and crept backwards until his back was against the wall. He felt so dirty, so used. Yet he had this tingling passion running though his body from the orgasm. "That was very nice, Lt. Mulder. Unfortunately, you are not done, quite yet." Mulder looked at the man as if he was crazy. What more could he put him through? How much was he to endure? "You may lick me clean, then it is finished." Mulder's mouth opened. Lick him clean? Of his own cum? He stifled a gag, not wanting to lose the food he just ate. Who knew how long it would be before he ate again. "Come here, Lt. Mulder, let's have that sweet mouth of yours do some good." Krycek grabbed Mulder by the wrist, gaining a cry from the other man when he squeezed his welt. Mulder knelt over Krycek and started lapping up the cum. The absence of food for a few days had afforded him very little cum. He licked along the Nazi's stomach and chest, over his nipples and up to his chin, getting every last speck. Suddenly, the German pushed him away and stood up. Krycek dressed quickly. The guards would be coming down the hallway any minute for the rounds. He couldn't be caught naked with another man. No matter what his rank and decorations, homosexuality was not tolerated in the Third Reich. He would rather die than sew a pink triangle on his clothes and be treated as one of the impure. Collecting the tray, he opened the cell door. Bending down, he picked up a thin blanket from the floor outside, tossing it over Mulder. He left without a word, leaving Mulder to clutch his reward around himself while he tried to hold back his sobs. Chapter 3: Addictions Mulder was curled up in a ball on the floor in the corner. He was shivering and bloody after another session of beatings by Krycek. He knew what came after the beatings but didn't want to think about it. He closed his eyes and tried to think of something else, something to dull the pain, to take his mind off the inevitable. Various images ran through his mind until he found a suitable distraction Cigarettes. He hadn't had a cigarette in over a week. He could smell the smoke lingering on Krycek's uniform when he came in, and he could faintly smell it now from where it now hung on the pegs along the wall. What he wouldn't do.... He stopped that thought in mid-flow. He didn't need one that badly. "What are you thinking, Lt. Mulder? You are smiling." Mulder hesitated to answer. He knew that it would only give Krycek something else to "bargain" with him for. The last thing he needed was to give the bastard something else to demand sexual favors for. So he was shocked to hear himself say, "Cigarettes. I was thinking, I would like a cigarette." "A cigarette?" "Yeah." "I have cigarettes. I have American cigarettes, in my pocket. I might let you have one." Mulder opened his eyes and looked up at Krycek looming over him. "For a price." Mulder knew what he was asking. Krycek's erection bobbed in the air above him. The craving for a smoke was raging through his body, wrestling with his mind and countering his horror at what he would have to do to get one. But now that he knew he could get a cigarette, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He wanted it so badly it was almost sexual; that had to be why he was hardening. He licked his lips before he spoke. "What's your price?" Krycek moved back and leaned against a wall. "If you suck my cock, I will let you share one with me." Mulder swallowed. "I just have to..." he breathed in deeply "...suck your cock?" "Yes. No more, but no less, either." Mulder pursed his lips together. "Lt. Mulder, I hope you realize that you will have to perform your daily duty, whether you reap a reward or not." Mulder closed his eyes and exhaled. Silently, he moved over to the other man standing against the wall. He put his hands around the Nazi's legs to brace himself as he moved in on the erection waiting for him. "That's it. Earn your reward." Mulder took the wrinkled skin of the foreskin in his mouth, nibbling on the end, sucking at the fluid leaking out of it. He knew that if he did a good job, that might be the only service he would have to provide today. He refused to think about the faint twinge of disappointment that ran through him at the thought. Krycek sighed as Mulder pulled the foreskin back and licked the sensitive head. He teased the slit with the tip of his tongue, gaining satisfied moans from above. He then took a bit of the large member in his mouth, sucking on the tip; inch by inch he swallowed Krycek until he felt the hairs at his groin tickle his nose. Krycek threaded his fingers through Mulder's short hair. "My little Hund, mein schoener kleiner Hund." Mulder sucked on the large cock moving in and out of his mouth. Oh god, he was getting hard. He knew he would get hard. He still could not believe he could he get aroused from doing this. How? He brought his hand up to caress Krycek's balls in the heavy sac that hung below it, wanting this over quickly. His strategy worked as he felt them tighten in his hand. Krycek let out a loud groan as he emptied himself into Mulder's mouth and down his throat. Mulder licked the last remaining drops from the Nazi before sitting back on his haunches. "Come here, let me taste you," Krycek said as he brought Mulder up to face him. He kissed him, his tongue probing the hot interior, tasting his own cum. He could feel Mulder's burgeoning erection press into his thigh. He pulled away and looked into the American's eyes. "You have earned your reward, Lt. Mulder. Come, sit with me, and we will have our cigarette." Mulder sat on the cot while Krycek fished in his pockets. Mulder heard the familiar strike and sizzle of a match igniting, the smell of sulfur, then the familiar scent of Virginia tobacco burning. Krycek turned around and exhaled. He could see Mulder practically salivating over the cigarette. He sat down beside his captive before taking another drag and passed the cigarette to Mulder. Mulder took the slim object from Krycek and brought it to his lips. He took a small drag then inhaled. He closed his eyes as the wisps of smoke ran down his lungs and out again as he exhaled. He took a larger drag and inhaled again before passing the cigarette back to Krycek. His lungs filled with the smoke, burning the lining, feeling so good. His head swam as he exhaled, the smoke billowing up and around the light bulb in the ceiling. His cock twitched. Silently, they smoked the cigarette, each man passing it back and forth until it was a small butt, which Krycek stamped out before returning it to his pocket. He turned to face Mulder. "How would you like another one?" Mulder remained silent. "How would you like another cigarette, Lieutenant? This one would be your very own. I would even leave you in peace while you smoked it." Mulder licked his lips, tasting the nicotine that had deposited itself there. "What would I have to do?" Mulder said, knowing full well what the price would be. "I am going to fuck you." "What if I don't want to?" "Then you don't get your cigarette. Either way, I am fucking you. Tell you what, Lt. Mulder, I will make you a deal. If you come, you may have it." Mulder looked up at the other man. Why had his cock suddenly hardened? Why did thinking about being with this man arouse him this much? Krycek's cock had hardened again as well, the purple head peeking through the foreskin. "Stand." Krycek cupped Mulder's chin in his hand and brought him up to face him again. He kissed him one more time before turning him to face the wall. Mulder braced himself against the wall with his hands as he felt Krycek press up behind him. "Spread your legs, wide." Mulder complied, his cock now throbbing with anticipation. He gasped as one of Krycek's fingers entered him, stretching him as it was joined by another. The two fingers widened his channel enough to fit a third finger in. He rubbed back against them, biting his lip to keep from moaning out loud. Krycek smiled as the American shuddered before him. He wanted him to gain his reward. He liked rewarding his captive; every time he did, it got easier and easier to fuck him. Finally, Mulder let out a moan. Yes, that's what he was waiting for. Krycek reached around to feel Mulder's cock dripping streams of pre-cum. He gathered as much as he could and slicked his cock up with that, his own pre-cum and some saliva. Mulder gasped as Krycek entered him. This was the feeling he relished the most, the initial penetration. So sweet and painful at the same time. Slowly he was filled until he could feel the other man's hot breath on his neck. His cock was throbbing, he was sweating. It amazed him how good this felt. Krycek wrapped his arms around Mulder, caressing his torso before settling down on his hips. He moved in and out of the American with ease. Mulder gasped as Krycek leaned forward and nuzzled the back of his neck, licking a small cut that was there. The smell of this man made him want him all the more. He quickened his pace and reached up to pinch one of Mulder's nipples again. Krycek's cock dragged across Mulder's prostate with every stroke, bringing tiny shudders to his body. His nipples were being pinched and caressed to extreme hardness. He now got the challenge. The Nazi wasn't going to touch his cock! Mulder moaned as much out of disappointment as of pleasure. He had to come, he wanted that cigarette. Mulder closed his eyes and focused all his energy on the good feelings that came from this. He was moaning and breathing heavily now as the Nazi thrust into him. He had to come, he needed to come. Mulder thrust back to greet the other man's hips, //oh god, yes, just a little more, just a little...// Krycek's eyes rolled back in his head as bright lights went off behind them. He could feel Mulder's ass clench on his cock as he came, milking him of all his fluid. He gave a little smile as he rested his head on Mulder's shoulder. He knew he would come. With a reward dangling in front of him, Lt. Mulder always came. He felt Mulder shudder again as the final stages of the orgasm ran through his body. He liked having Lt. Mulder as a prisoner, and as long as the war lasted, he would be his. Chapter 4: Twist of Fate Fox Mulder had been in custody for just over two weeks now. Shot down behind enemy lines, he was a prisoner at SS headquarters. Every day he was interrogated; every day he kept his mouth shut. Every day he was forced to perform sexual acts on Commandant Krycek; every day he enjoyed it a little bit more. The shackles and chains that bound him had built up welts, bruises and scabs along his wrists and ankles. He was still chained every day after the Commandant left him naked and trembling from another session. This was made a little more bearable by a cot and a blanket. For being such a good cocksucker, he was granted food, once a day, in the morning. Krycek still beat him relentlessly, trying to get Mulder to tell him about the bombing raids, but he could not. He would never tell him. If he did, the beatings and sex would stop. He did not want to lose the human contact of Krycek's body. It made this incarceration bearable. The heavy door to the cell swung open with its familiar clang. It was one of the guards bringing his daily meal of bread, water and a weak broth. He set the tray down on the shelf that jutted out of the wall and proceeded to unshackle Mulder. "Don't try anything, Lt. Mulder. There is another guard outside that will shoot you in your pretty little face if you do." The guard put the tray on the cot beside Mulder. Mulder remained silent, rubbing his wrists and ankles, pins and needles shooting through his feet and hands. The guard lingered. He was to watch him eat then take the tray, lest Mulder ambush the Commandant with it later. Mulder started to eat the food quickly. He knew from past experience that if the guard was ready to go and the food was not eaten, it would be taken away. Hungrily, he chewed the meager slice of bread, alternating with sips from the broth and water. "You are lucky, Lt. Mulder, to be a special prisoner of the Third Reich." Mulder looked up at the guard over his bowl of broth. He remained silent, but the guard continued. "For such a pretty boy, you would be dead for sure in the camps. Or raped. We do not tolerate impurities like homosexuality here. A firing squad would be a fit punishment for the likes of people like that. In the kidneys or bowels. A nice, slow death. From the Private in the trenches to the Fuehrer, it is not tolerated. Ever. That is why they get the pink triangle. To single them out." Mulder shoved the last piece of bread in his mouth and washed it down with the tiny sip of water that remained in the tin cup. He still said nothing. The guard picked up the tray and put it on the shelf. He kept an eye on Mulder as he turned to re-shackle him. Mulder was already lying down on his cot, blanket over him, arms over his head, feet stretched out, awaiting the chains. The guard bound Mulder again, picked up the tray and left. A smile crossed Mulder's face. He now had a bargaining tool. It was obvious that no one knew what Krycek did to him. If anyone did find out, he would be disgraced, stripped of his rank and shot. Commandant Krycek was pissed off. Seething as a matter of fact. That American fuck did not tell him about the bombings that killed many in Hamburg last night. Krycek was dragged from his bed at two in the morning by his superiors, demanding to know how this happened, why had he not extracted the information from Lt. Mulder? Being screamed at for two hours by your superiors while standing at attention in the middle of the night was not a happy occurrence. Krycek wanted to come over right away and beat Lt. Mulder senseless, but he was called to an emergency meeting by the Fuehrer. Promises of victory were shouted, a strong Germany would rise above the rest of the world. Krycek knew this was not true. The Americans were advancing; the Russians had recaptured much of the territory that he himself had stolen from them. The writing was on the wall, and it seemed that only Krycek could see it. He was a soldier, a leader, a fighter, and he knew when a fight was going to be lost. Running on just a few hours sleep, he left the meeting about 11:00 a.m. and went over to the prison to see Mulder. He stomped down the hallway to Mulder's cell, screaming at one of the guards to open the door, his riding crop at the ready. The guard trembled as he fumbled with the keys. He had heard many stories about Commandant Krycek and did not want to be on the receiving end of that crop. "Give me those, you clumsy fool." Krycek snatched the key ring from the guard and opened it himself. He flung the door open to see Mulder, lying in comfort on his cot with his blanket. He turned to the guard. "Leave us alone. I do not want anyone coming in here. Do you understand?" "Jawohl, Herr Commandant." The guard raised his arm in salute and scurried back to his post. Krycek did not return the salute. Krycek slammed the door behind him and stood there for a second. He was seething. He took the two steps to Mulder's cot and ripped the blanket off him. As for the past couple of days, Mulder was hard and waiting for him. That, however, was going to have to wait. The crop came down on Mulder's stomach, leaving a red welt. Mulder cried out in pain. Krycek's eyes narrowed. He unshackled Mulder, who pressed himself into a ball in the corner of the cell. Krycek overturned the cot in a rage, kicking it before turning his attention to Mulder. He took a deep breath before striking him over and over with the crop. "You fucking American dog. You little piece of shit! You knew they were going to bomb Hamburg. You knew it, and you did not tell me! After all I did for you. You little fuck! I should just kill you." "Stop! Stop!" "What? Dogs cannot speak! Shut up until I tell you to speak!" A flood of expletives in German ran out of his mouth as he beat Mulder. "Stop it! Stop or I'll tell them. I'll tell them you're a homosexual." Krycek's hand was raised, about to bring another blow to Mulder. He was sweating and breathing heavily. His face was red, the vein in his neck stood out, throbbing with his pulse. "What?" "If you don't stop beating me, I will tell the guards what you do to me." Mulder winced in pain. He had scratches, welts and cuts all over his body, especially on his hands and arms, where he tried to block the blows. Krycek sat down on the floor in front of Mulder. "You are lying." "I'll do it. I want you to let me go, or I'll fucking do it." Mulder leaned his head back against the brick wall. Krycek's eyes showed a glimmer of fear. "You know it will destroy you. You will be sent to a camp with a pink triangle sewn on your clothes, available to be raped or worse. That would be the upside. The downside is that your SS cronies will beat you, torture you and leave you to die a slow and painful death." Krycek let the riding crop drop to the floor and put his head in his hands. "I cannot." "Yes, you can! You run this prison, you can tell them to let me go. Do it or I'll blow the whistle on you!" "I cannot. They will kill you, or worse. Have you ever seen someone shot in the spine as they are running away? If you get them just right, they are paralyzed but still alive. Then they are thrown in a mass grave to die, smothered by corpses." A shock ran through Mulder. These people were sick. All of them, sick fucking bastards. Krycek did have a point though. What good was escape if he wound up dead? Mulder had another idea. "Take your clothes off." Krycek looked up at his prisoner. His mouth watered at the blood from the cuts running down his arms to drip on the floor. "Didn't you hear me? Undress! I will call the guards if you don't." Krycek stood and started removing his clothing. "Leave the boots off, I want you completely naked." Krycek removed the last of the clothing and was pushed down on all fours by Mulder. He panicked as he felt Mulder's large erection tease his small opening. No preparation, no lubrication. "Wait!" "No. You are going to know what it feels like, you Nazi pig!" Mulder grabbed the hair on the top of Krycek's head and pulled it for emphasis. He pushed his cock in the tight opening, forcing it wider. Krycek cried out in pain. This hurt, a lot. He could not do anything, the strength seemed to leave his body as Mulder forced his way inside of him. Krycek was trembling, his arms gave out and his head went down to rest on the floor. Ass high in the air, face down, the ultimate position of submission. Mulder started thrusting in and out of Krycek, wanting him to feel every stroke down to his core. "You are a fucking pig, all of you are pigs. You all have this sick, twisted fantasy of killing and torturing innocent people. How does it feel, huh? How does it fucking feel to be on the receiving end for once?" Mulder slammed into Krycek, sweat forming on his brow. Krycek was biting his lip to hold back whimpers of pain. Tears welled up in his eyes. He kept silent, lest he beg a prisoner to stop. One thing he would never, ever do was beg. Finally, Mulder came with a cry into the Nazi, milking his cock of the last drops before pulling out and shoving Krycek down on the floor. A trickle of blood ran down one of Krycek's legs. He noticed he did not come. "Get dressed and get the fuck out! I want out of this cell; I want out of this prison; I don't care what you have to do, just do it. I know you have POW camps for Americans. Put me there, with my own people!" Krycek stood up and made his way over to his clothing that hung on the pegs on the wall. His legs were shaking. He did not want to meet the gaze of the other man. Quickly, he dressed, picked up the riding crop and stood before his prisoner, his eyes still averted from Mulder's gaze. "I will not bother you again. I will transfer you to a stalag tomorrow." He knew that another long session of yelling from his superiors would follow, but he did not care. He just wanted to be rid of this man. This man who nearly destroyed him with mere words. He turned and opened the door to leave. "Wait!" A thought suddenly crossed Mulder's mind. If Krycek walked through that door, it would all be over! This would be the last time he saw Krycek. No more tiny bits of affection, no more sex, no more conversations. He would be a number in a camp, fighting for scraps of food, for his life. Mulder panicked. "Don't go." Krycek stopped in his tracks. He turned to find Mulder standing behind him. Mulder reached out and placed his hand on his arm. "Stay. Please." Krycek closed the door gently. He finally looked into Mulder's tear-filled eyes. "Don't go," Mulder whispered as he leaned forward to hug Krycek. "Don't leave me. I won't tell, I won't tell. I'm sorry. Don't leave me alone." He was sobbing now, clinging to Krycek for dear life. "I won't tell, I'll never tell, please don't leave me." Mulder sank to the floor and started licking Krycek's boots. Krycek's jaw dropped. What the hell was going on here? Did Mulder actually care for him? Had he gone mad? He looked down at the naked man clinging to his legs, licking his boots. He reached down and brought Mulder up to face him. "You do this now? After what you just did to me?" His fingers closed around Mulder's neck and shoved him against the wall. "You raped me." "I'm sorry," Mulder squeaked through the hand around his throat. "You made me bleed. You hurt me." Krycek shoved Mulder down to the ground. Mulder cried out in pain as his ankle twisted. A small snap was heard. Krycek reached down and grabbed the injured limb, wrenching it so Mulder would hurt some more, eliciting another horrific cry. "You are in more trouble than you know, my Lieutenant." He then smacked Mulder across the face, sending him flying. He grabbed Mulder by the hair. "We will have no more of this bullshit! You belong to me! Is that clear?" "Y-y-y-yes." "Say it!" "I belong to you." "Good." Krycek let a brief smile cross his face before a leer replaced it. He stood over Mulder who was trembling. "Now. Fix the cot! Bring this place to order!" Krycek yelled as he went to undress himself again. Mulder tried to work fast to right the cot and spread the blanket on it. He found it hard with his injured ankle, which was surely broken. "On all fours, Lieutenant." Mulder obeyed his captor. The anticipation of what was to happen next shot adrenaline through his veins. His cock was starting to harden, and his nipples stiffened. Krycek roughly thrust a finger into Mulder, working it in and out, watching the opening get wider and wider until a second finger joined it. "You have angered me, Lt. Mulder. You should know better than to get me angry. I have a reputation for being very hard on people, and I make no exceptions." A third finger was added to Krycek's teasing. He smiled as Mulder let out a small moan and started gyrating against his fingers. "Now. I am going to fuck you, but you may not come. I am not going to touch you. You are not going to touch yourself. Is that clear?" "Yes," Mulder whimpered. "Good." Krycek spat on his hands liberally, lubricating his cock as much as he could before he started to enter Mulder. He briefly considered taking the American dry as he had done to Krycek only a few minutes earlier, but it would be harder for Mulder to hold back his orgasm if he was enjoying it. Mulder sucked in his breath. The keen sense of pleasure masked the pain in his ankle. He held back, as Krycek had commanded him, angling his ass so Krycek would not strike his prostate. Krycek forced him back into position so that he could hit that pleasure point, only releasing him when Mulder's desperate whimpers told him he would not be able to hold back any longer. "You have such a sweet ass, Lt. Mulder. Your ass belongs to me. You remember that when I am fucking you." Alex had a hand on each of Mulder's hips, thrusting back and forth. He was sweating again, every stroke bringing him closer to his orgasm. He could not resist and bent over Mulder, licking the smooth skin, drinking in his scent. There were a few cuts on Mulder's back that Krycek licked before kneeling upright again. He quickened his pace, pumping hard into Mulder, bringing his hips to meet his thrusts. He came with a cry and a groan as he collapsed on the man under him. They were joined for a few seconds before Krycek removed himself from Mulder's ass. Krycek then went over and sat on the cot, reaching over to get his handkerchief out of his pocket to wipe off his cock. Mulder sat on the floor, his erection throbbing, he could feel his balls begging for release. Krycek looked at Mulder. His ankle was quite swollen and turning purple; the shackles would never fit over it now. "Stand," he commanded. Mulder complied, but he could not put any weight on the ankle and instead, leaned back against the wall. "You make a very pretty picture, Lt. Mulder. Your cock is very pretty as well. Now. I want you to pleasure yourself, and when you are done, you may lay beside me. But! Only if you do a good job. Only if I enjoy it as much as you do. If I do not, you will stand there until I am satisfied." Mulder closed his eyes and swallowed. He could do this. He opened his eyes again and looked at Krycek sitting on his cot. His eyes seemed to glow in the dim light of the cell. He grabbed onto his cock and started gently stroking it. His other hand ran up and lightly caressed his chest, pinching a nipple. He gasped as he continued to look into those icy green eyes. His hand on his cock gripped tighter, his thumb spreading the pre-cum around. He pinched a nipple again, making himself moan out loud. Krycek's cock reacted to the moan. He could feel it stir and harden. He would have to make sure Lt. Mulder relieved him again before he left. Mulder's hand was pumping fast on his cock, his eyes were closed, and his lips were parted slightly. The hand that had been pinching his nipples was now lower down, fondling his balls. Suddenly, he gasped and moaned as he came onto the floor in front of him. He milked his cock of the last remaining drops before opening his eyes. Krycek was hard again after that display. He motioned for Mulder to come to him. He then licked a drop of cum off of the tip of Mulder's softening cock before bringing him down to lie beside him on the cot. There was not much room, but Mulder was grateful for the contact. Krycek was so warm, like a furnace was glowing inside somewhere. He snuggled down into the shoulder before him as a strong arm came around to caress his hair. "I will tell the guards not to shackle your swollen ankle." Mulder kissed Krycek's shoulder. "Thank you." Krycek smiled. It had only taken two weeks to break this man, to make him feel that he could not live without him. Now, if he could only get him out of this prison and into his quarters, he would be able to amuse himself with the pretty American whenever he wanted. Mulder's kisses moved down from Krycek's shoulder to a nipple. He latched onto it, sucking and teasing it to complete hardness. Krycek sucked in his breath; Lt. Mulder was now instigating sex. Oh yes, he had him completely. Mulder moved down Krycek's abdomen, sucking and nipping at the skin. He then moved on to the erection that was bobbing in the air. He wrapped his lips around the head and moved down, quickly and efficiently bringing his captor to orgasm. Krycek closed his eyes and wove his fingers through Mulder's hair as he felt his balls release their fluid. Mulder's mouth was quite proficient at this activity. Mulder licked Krycek clean before moving back up to lie beside him, kissing him, sharing his own taste with him. He then settled down beside him, feeling Krycek's arms come around him again. Krycek held him for a few minutes before speaking. "I have to go now, Lt. Mulder." He rose and began getting dressed. Mulder continued to lie on the cot, soaking in the warmth Krycek left behind. When he was fully dressed, Krycek crouched before the cot. "Do we understand each other? There will be no more of what happened today. You belong to me now." "Yes," Mulder whispered. Krycek turned Mulder's head to meet his gaze. "Good. I will see you tomorrow then." He let Mulder's head drop back to the cot, where he instinctively curled up into a little ball. Krycek placed the blanket over his captive before turning and leaving the cell. Mulder lay motionless on his cot, watching the door, waiting for Krycek to come back to him. Only when the other man was with him, telling him what to do, did he feel complete now. Chapter 5: Testing the Limits Commandant Krycek was entering his fourth week of walking down this corridor to Lt. Mulder's cell. He was sick of this prison, sick of the people, sick of this war. He wanted Lt. Mulder out of here and in his quarters so he could see him, touch him, whenever he wanted, not just for an hour a day. He had a plan, but it had taken a week of dropping hints to get the wheels slowly turning. It would not be easy. Now it was all a matter of convincing his superiors that Mulder should be released. He had to convince them that it would be easier to keep an eye on Mulder and try to extract information from him if he was working for Krycek directly in his house. Krycek reached the door and waited for the guard to open it for him before stepping through. It shut behind him with the familiar clang. Mulder was crying when Krycek entered his cell. Sobbing, actually. Krycek's eyes narrowed. //What have those idiots done to him now?// He thought of the guards and their incompetence of late. //Maybe they will like the Eastern Front better than here.// He sat down beside Mulder who was shackled to his cot. "What is it? What is the matter?" Before he could stop himself, his gloved hand reached out and stroked Mulder's hair. "It hurts. It hurts so much." "What hurts?" "My ankle. They shackled my ankle." Krycek pulled the blanket back revealing Mulder's swollen, almost purple ankle. They had really done a job on it, possibly re-broken it. Krycek's face grew red. //Those stupid guards! Eastern Front - they're going to fucking Siberia!// He stood up, ready to go out the door and scream at them, when a thought crossed his mind. He sat back down beside Mulder, his anger subsiding for a second as he leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Lt. Mulder, I want to take you out of this place. How would you like that?" Mulder nodded, the tears still flowing. "I need you to endure that shackle for another hour or so, do you think you can do that?" "It hurts so much," Mulder sobbed. "I am going to bring two men back with me. I need you to be quiet, not say one word no matter what happens or what I say. After they come here, then we will be able to leave if you do exactly as I've told you." He turned Mulder's head so his gaze met his own. "Not one word. They will shoot you if you speak. But if you trust me and remain silent, I will be able to take you out of here and bring you to live in my home." "I'll be quiet." "Good. Now, stop crying and I will see you soon." Krycek rearranged the blanket over Mulder again before leaving the cell. He strode past the guards, who stood at attention and saluted as he went by. He returned their salute then went out the door. //Idioten. You'd better pray you get shot before the cold kills you. Siberia can be a very hard place to tolerate.// An hour later, Krycek returned to Mulder's cell with two other men, just as he said. A wave of fear washed over him as he saw their faces, the hatred burning in their eyes. One of them was a short man with a pointy nose and dark hair. The other was tall and broad, with glasses. The man with the glasses licked his lips as he looked at him. Mulder stopped a shiver that was about to run up his spine. He wanted out of here and would do anything to help Krycek. He kept his promise and said nothing as Krycek started speaking about him. "This is Lt. Mulder, United States Air Force. He has been with us for a month now, enjoying our usual 'hospitality'. Still, he refuses to give us any information. It is clear that by the time he speaks, anything he knows will be long out of date. It is pointless to keep him here any longer. I would say he's ready to be transferred immediately." The man with the pointy nose spoke. "He has given nothing, Krycek? Your reputation has suffered a blow with this one." He grabbed the corner of the blanket and tossed it aside. "He still has a lot of meat on his bones. He will work out fine at one of the Stalags; he looks strong." "Those idiots!" Krycek bellowed. "What? What is the problem?" the man with the glasses asked. "His ankle. He twisted it over a week ago. I told those stupid guards not to shackle it so he could heal properly and be sent to a camp. Look at it! Gangrene will set in soon, it will probably have to be amputated. He is useless now." "I agree." The pointy-nosed man took out his gun and held it to Mulder's head. "We do not need him anymore." Panic washed through Mulder as he felt the barrel of the gun press into his skin. He didn't want to die this way, chained, helpless. He started breathing heavily, only the memory of Krycek telling him to trust him keeping him silent. "Put the gun down, Spender," Krycek said, remaining calm. "I meant he is useless in a camp. I will take him." Spender looked at Krycek suspiciously before putting his gun away. "What do you mean you will take him?" the man in the glasses said. "As I have been telling you for the past week, I need a new servant. Lt. Mulder can still hobble around and serve me." He took the men aside and lowered his voice. "I have surely broken this man, yet he remains mute. If I can get him to trust me, perhaps he will reveal his secrets. If he opens up to me, it will seem like he is talking to a friend, not an enemy." The man with the glasses smiled. "Very clever, Krycek, I can see your point. If he does not open up, then you can just shoot him, like you did your other servants." Spender laughed, "Krycek, you have to learn to be more patient with your staff; you cannot keep killing them when they displease you. Instead of sending the Jewish vermin to the camps, we should just give them to you as servants. They would die just as quickly." He and the tall man laughed at the joke. "How many groundspeople have you been through? Six, or seven?" The man in the glasses grinned. "Three. This fourth one is not any better." "Are you sure you want this American dog, Krycek? We can send him to one of the KZ camps and dispose of him quickly and quietly. No one will know if he is American, Jew, Pole or Czech." "No. I can use him. I am sure that he will tell me his secrets soon enough. If not me, then one of my other staff. You know how servants gossip." "Very well, you may take this Mulder to your house. I would keep an eye on him though; don't let him out of your sight for too long." The man in the glasses took another look at Mulder before turning away. Mulder watched as the three men left the cell together. He breathed a sigh of relief, thanking god they were gone and he was still alive. A moment later, Krycek returned with a bundle of clothes and a crutch. "Lt. Mulder, you will come to live with me now," Krycek said as he unshackled him from the cot. "Here, put these on quickly so we can get out of here." He laid the bundle of clothes on the cot beside Mulder. Mulder's ankle was throbbing so badly he didn't know how he was going to walk. Quickly, he put on the garments Krycek gave him. They were thin cotton pants and a shirt, not unlike pajamas. Only one boot fit; the other could not fit over the swelling in his foot, so he covered it with the sock only. Krycek gave him the crutch to put under his armpit since he wouldn't be able to help Mulder at all when anyone else could see them. He glanced at the blanket but left it lying on the cot, saying "I'm sorry I can't let you take the blanket to keep warm. It's very cold out, but it would be noticed if I allowed you that." Then Krycek put his hands on Mulder's shoulders and met his gaze. "Lt. Mulder, you are still my prisoner, and I must treat you as such. Do not say one word until we get to my house, do you understand? Your life depends on it." "Yes," Mulder barely whispered. Krycek smiled, "Good. Let's go." They managed to get to Krycek's house with limited trouble from the checkpoints. When the young guards at the roadblocks saw who Krycek was, they immediately waved him through, ignoring the passenger beside him. They turned into a driveway of a sprawling house, where a flag bearing the swastika hung over the front door and flapped in the wind. Snow was piled high around the house, but the driveway and stairs leading up to the house were clear. A maid, bundled against the cold, came out of the house to greet Krycek. "Ingrid, this is Mulder. He is going to be working here as my new assistant. Please help him up to the master bathroom. He is quite dirty. His ankle has been injured, so make allowances for his slowness." "I can see that, Herr Oberst. Come with me, let's get you cleaned up." Mulder kept his mouth shut as he was led away by the burly maid. Krycek went in the front door and practically flew up the stairs to his study. It worked, it fucking worked! He had waited almost two weeks to get him here, now finally they could be alone. He took his leather coat and hat off and hung them up before going over to his desk to check what had come in the post. There was a knock on the door. "Enter." "Sturmbahnfuehrer Krycek, the American is in the bath. I have left some clothes for him." "Thank you, Ingrid. I would like everyone to leave us alone for a few hours. I need to go over a few things with Mulder, tell him the rules of the house, what his duties will be and how he will be punished if he does not perform properly. I would like to have supper in here about seven. For both of us. I do not want to stop his training for a meal. We shall talk and eat at the same time." "Yes, sir." Ingrid turned and left. Krycek read the one piece of correspondence, then decided to check in on his new servant. A smile passed over Krycek's lips as he walked down the hall to his bedroom. There was a door leading to the master bath off of the bedroom, so he would not be seen. He locked the door to the bedroom before going towards the door leading to the bath. Slowly he opened the door and looked inside. Mulder was lounging in the bathtub, a look of contentment on his face. //He is beautiful, even more so when he is relaxed.// Krycek took a step into the room. Mulder sat up with a start and looked fearfully at the person who entered the room. Had they come to take him back to prison? He knew this was too good to be true. "Calm down, Mulder," Krycek said. He walked over to the door leading to the hallway and locked it from the inside. He also did the same to the door leading to the bedroom, which he then leaned back against. "Are you enjoying your bath?" "Yes," Mulder barely whispered. "It's all right, you can talk. You are in my home now." "I didn't realize how dirty I was." Mulder said as he looked down in embarrassment at the dark gray water in the tub. How had Krycek been able to stand to touch him? "Yes, well it has been awhile, hasn't it? Why don't you drain the tub and wash again. The water has surely cooled by now." Mulder looked at the man standing before him. Such a change from the prison. The riding crop was gone, and although the fierceness in his eyes was still there, so was a gentleness. He pulled the plug, watching as the dirty water swirled out and down the drain. He turned the tap on to refill the tub, but Krycek reached over and turned it off. "Here, soap yourself up first." Krycek handed Mulder a bar of sweet-smelling soap which he used to lather his body and hair. Krycek then filled a large pitcher with water and poured it over Mulder's head, rinsing the soap away. He did this until the water rinsed clean. Then Krycek put the plug back in the tub and filled it again with hot water. Krycek removed his clothes, draping them over a chair that was in the corner of the large bathroom. The window in the bathroom was covered by a heavy black curtain, so the only light was a warm glow that came from the light fixture above. He got in behind Mulder and ran his legs down the length of the large tub. He pulled Mulder back against him and wrapped his arms around him. "I have waited a long time for this," Krycek said as he kissed Mulder's shoulder. The warmth of the water and closeness of the other man set his cock in motion, his erection starting to jut into Mulder's buttocks. He held Mulder tighter, relishing the sensation of their wet, naked skin against each other. Mulder leaned back against Krycek and closed his eyes. He had also missed this, human contact without guards or shackles or cold cement floors. He settled in for a few minutes, his head against Krycek's shoulder. "I want you to wash me," Krycek said with a kiss to the top of Mulder's head. Mulder opened his eyes and sat up, then turned himself around to face Krycek. "There is a sponge in a basin behind you; use it to wash me." Krycek's eyes were burning a bright green, full of lust. Mulder took the sponge and held it in the water to wet and soften it before leaning forward and gently running it down Krycek's chest and belly, down to the hardness visible below the water. His heart was starting to pound, and his own cock was growing erect. He ran the sponge down the strong legs and back up again to where he started on his chest. He paid particular attention to the stiff nipples, stroking them with the nubby sponge until Krycek gasped in pleasure, then moved on. While Mulder was washing Krycek's arms, he noticed he was shaking. Krycek knelt in the tub, eye to eye with Mulder. He reached out and smoothed the lock of hair back that had fallen onto his forehead. He then leaned in and kissed him, tenderly. Mulder's lips were soft and full, his tongue slid past them easily, tasting the other man. He brought an arm around Mulder's waist, the other going around his back, his hand pushing the two of them closer together. Mulder gasped as Krycek pulled away and started kissing down his neck. He was still shaking; the feel of this man being gentle with him was almost too much to bear. "Yes, I've been waiting a long time to get you alone," Krycek whispered before latching onto one of Mulder's nipples. He nibbled around the areola before licking and sucking on the hardening nub. Slowly he moved across to Mulder's other nipple and proceeded to bring that one to hardness as well. Mulder moaned and leaned back in the tub, Krycek leaning with him. He hadn't felt tenderness in so long, he'd almost forgotten how good it was. "Sit on the edge of the tub," Krycek commanded, softly. Mulder slowly maneuvered himself up to sit on the thin ledge of the tub. He put his hands down beside his buttocks to steady himself. Krycek knelt in the cooling water of the bath and spread Mulder's legs to reveal his dripping, throbbing erection. He looked up at Mulder's eyes, where the pupils were dilated so much that a thin rim of blue-green was the only thing that could be seen. Mulder was breathing hard, the anticipation of knowing what was coming next shooting another load of precum to glisten at the top of his cock. His nails dug into the side of the tub as Krycek's tongue slowly licked around the head of his cock. A moan escaped his lips, and he closed his eyes. Krycek ran his tongue down the length of Mulder's cock to his balls. He pressed his face between Mulder's legs, sucking the drops of water dripping from the heavy sac. Mulder whimpered and gripped the tub harder, his knuckles showing white. Krycek took Mulder's cock in his mouth, something he hadn't done since the first time they were together in Mulder's cell. The day he first raped him. This was not rape. Not now. Now it was a need for someone to be close to, to touch, for simple human contact in the midst of all the suffering that this war brought everyone. Mulder tried in vain to hold on, but after a few minutes of Krycek licking and sucking him, he came with a cry into his mouth. His knees felt weak as Krycek lapped up the last of the cum, sitting back to stare at Mulder with a grin on his face. Mulder slid down into the water again before leaning over to kiss the German on the mouth. "You liked that, hmmm? Too bad we do not have time for more right now." "What do you mean?" "We have been in here for a long time. We have turned into prunes!" Krycek held up his hand and showed Mulder his wrinkled fingers, then smiled. "Come, all things must come to an end." Krycek stood, then got out of the bath. He dried himself off before donning a dressing gown. He then turned to Mulder and extended his hand to help him out of the tub. He gave Mulder a towel and watched him dry himself off before offering him a dressing gown of his own. Mulder put it on. It was silk and so soft, the softest thing he had ever felt in his life. Krycek unlocked the door to the bedroom and came back to help Mulder with his crutch. Together they moved Mulder to a large, overstuffed chair in the bedroom. "Let's take a look at your ankle, shall we?" Krycek knelt before Mulder and took the battered limb into his hands. He probed the injured joint carefully, pleased that it was healing well despite the acts of those fools at the prison. The shackle had not disturbed the setting bones. He looked up into the American's eyes before he started to wrap the ankle in a thick bandage. "This will help it heal straight, so you will not have a permanent limp." Mulder was silent as he watched the bandage being wrapped around his foot and ankle then half way up his calf. Krycek knew what he was doing; Mulder had learned that same procedure in his training as well. Wasn't it funny how they were on opposite sides of a war, yet their training was so similar? Krycek finished, stood up and went over to a table in the corner. He returned with a small tablet and glass of water. He held them out to Mulder. "Here, take this." "What is it?" "It's called penicillin. For your ankle, to fight infection." Mulder took the small white pill and looked at it for a second before looking back at Krycek. "It's all right, take it. It's medicine. You have to take them for a week until I am sure your ankle is not infected." He reached out and stroked Mulder's cheek. "It's medicine, please take it. I would not give you anything that would hurt you." Mulder popped the pill in his mouth before washing it down with a sip of water. "Why are you being so nice to me? Why didn't you let your friend kill me today?" Krycek looked at Mulder for a few seconds before answering. "I needed a servant and you needed someone to serve." Mulder gave a small laugh but said nothing. Krycek looked at Mulder. He knew he could see right through him. Dependent or not, Mulder was not a stupid man. "Are you thirsty?" "No." "Are you hungry?" "No." "Mulder, even though you are technically my prisoner, this is my home. If you want something, ask." "I'm hungry and I'm tired." "You will have a proper supper tonight, with me. I do not want you to fraternize too much with the other servants right away until they get used to you. A lot of them do not like Americans and would be tempted to do you harm. You will stay here, on this floor, with me, to work with me, until I tell you otherwise. Is that clear?" "Yes." "Good. Now, I need to get dressed and attend to some matters before supper. There are clothes for you on the chair in the washroom. There is also a razor for you to shave with, unless you want to keep the beard." Mulder reached up and touched the hair on his face. He hadn't realized that he had grew one, but after a month of not shaving, it was obvious. "No, I should get rid of it." "It does not really suit you, I am sorry to say. There is a jar of salve in there for you as well, to put on your wounds from the shackles. It is Ingrid's grandmother's secret cream. It smells awful, but it works." Mulder shrugged and pulled the robe around him a little closer. "Thank you." "You're welcome. Now hurry, supper will be in my study very soon. It is just down the hallway, I will leave the door open for you." Then Krycek turned to get dressed. Mulder hobbled on his crutch to the bathroom and up to the mirror. This was the first time he had seen himself in a month. His eyes were still hazel, his hair longer, a little grayer. His face sported a beard which, as Krycek said, did not suit him at all. It was so overwhelming, looking at this stranger in the mirror. How did he get here, to this place, to this house on the outskirts of Berlin? He shook his head, then lathered up his face with the brush and soap that were left for him. After Mulder was done shaving, he rubbed the soothing salve into his wounds. It didn't smell that bad. Then he got dressed and followed the way Krycek had gone, through the bedroom and down the hallway. His ankle was feeling much better now from the medicine and bandage. He could hobble a little faster. He found the open door and walked through it. Here was a library full of books, a large desk and table with six chairs around it. The table had been set for dinner for two. Krycek was sitting behind the heavy desk, speaking into the telephone. His voice was low and his brow furrowed. He looked up at Mulder for a second, watching him inspect the books in the bookcases that lined the wall. Krycek softly put the telephone handset into the cradle and rubbed his forehead. He got out of his chair and walked over to Mulder. "There are some English books there as well, if you are interested." "Most of them are in German." Krycek laughed, "We are still in Germany, Lt. Mulder. You had better get used to this place, you will be spending a lot of time here." Mulder looked up at Krycek, a question in his eyes. "You are my assistant, this is my office. I need you to make sure this place is kept clean and in order. Seeing as though you cannot read German, the filing will have to be done by myself. I do, however, want you to make sure my correspondence is ready for me when I get home. The desk should be neat, the ink in my pen refilled, paper always ready. Is that clear?" "Yes." Krycek smiled. "Good." Mulder heard someone come in and turned quickly, his heart pounding. It was only Ingrid and another girl with supper. Silently, the women began to unload their trays onto the large table. Roast chicken, potatoes, pickled beets, cabbage and turnips. Mulder closed his mouth and swallowed. The smell of the food was heavenly. "Come, Mulder, sit and eat." Krycek motioned to the table. Mulder sat across from Krycek, who was motioning him to fill his plate. "Would you like some wine?" "Wine?" "Yes, it is Italian. There is quite a well stocked wine cellar in this house." "Sure." Mulder watched as the dark burgundy liquid filled the crystal glass before him. "It is good. Come, eat, you said you were hungry." Krycek looked over at Mulder who seemed bewildered by the bounty laid before them. "Where did you get all this food?" Krycek finished pouring the wine and began filling his own plate before he spoke. "My rank affords me some luxuries. One of them being good food. The other being this house, the servants, the car. Just as in your military, rank decrees worth." Mulder put a piece of chicken in his mouth. It was heavenly. Moist and tender, seasoned with rosemary. He closed his eyes and savored the taste. When he opened them, he was looking directly at Krycek, his own eyes sparkling in the dim light. "I am glad you like it. Ingrid is an accomplished cook." They ate in silence, drinking the wine. Mulder relished every bite, every sip, he hadn't had food like this in a long time. It was almost sexual, certainly sensual, his cock stirred and started pressing against the wool trousers he was wearing. Ingrid came back with coffee and cleared their plates. She left two plates containing a piece of cake each in front of them. "Eat the Streuselkuchen, it's quite wonderful." Krycek handed Mulder a china cup filled with strong coffee. "Whose house is this?" Mulder asked as Krycek put a forkful of cake in his mouth. Krycek swallowed before answering. "It is my house." "Who had it before you did? Who owned it? Before the war?" "I do not know, it was seized property. When I came to Berlin last year it was given to me. The Reich owns it, the Reich owns everything." Krycek continued to eat his cake. "You stole it. You probably stole it from a Jewish family and killed them, right? None of this is yours, it's someone else's. They probably worked very hard to acquire this wealth, and you stole it from them. What do you have against them, anyway? They're just people who happen to have a different religion." "I did not steal anything." Krycek put his fork down and glared at Mulder. "You are treading on very thin ice, Lt. Mulder. Need I remind you that you are still a prisoner of the Third Reich? I can have you back in that jail, or worse a camp, with one telephone call. I'm sure your comments would be extremely popular with the guards." Mulder's eyes grew wide; his respiration and pulse quickened. Then his eyes dropped to the table. //Please, don't let him send me away, let me stay here with him.//
