The Dance


Merchandise in his pocket, Ryan O’Reily headed down the stairs. In just a few minutes, he would meet his buyer. The space underneath the stairs seemed to be a blind spot for the hacks – numerous activities went on down there during the course of the day. Some business, some recreational, but never with any interference.

As Ryan stepped off the last stair and turned the corner, he spotted them. Beecher and Keller. Fuck. The two hadn’t come up for air since New Year’s. Well, at least Beecher hadn’t, judging by the way he was feasting hungrily on Keller’s-

Wait, why the hell was he still watching this?

Their movements flowed like a dance – something practiced, unhurried, and thoroughly enjoyed. Ryan could see that this wasn’t the usual prison sex. It was two bodies in synch with each other. No force, bribery, or coercion was needed.

He watched Keller run his fingers through Beecher’s hair. A light touch here, a shift in movement there, and Beecher followed it easily. Ryan was fascinated by the gentleness of it all. He’d never been this gentle with anyone during sex.

Ryan considered Beecher. This definitely wasn’t the same man who had walked into Oz afraid of his own shadow. There was power there, and Ryan could sense that Beecher had as much control in this interaction as Keller did. This was something Beecher did willingly, as much for his pleasure as it was for Keller’s.

Ryan was so fixated on Beecher that it took him a moment to realize that he, too, was being watched. He looked up, caught instantly in Keller’s gaze. And then Keller’s slow smile began to spread wide on his face. That was the moment Ryan knew he was fucked.

Keller’s eyes, shining with mischief, let Ryan know that he was getting off as much by Ryan watching him as he was by Beecher sucking his cock. His eyes drew Ryan in, held him there.

But for now, the lord of the dance was merely an observer. Part of him wanted to move, to touch, to feel the weight of another body pressing into him, to be connected in such a way as to be an extension of another person. Just for a moment, he wanted to experience what Beecher and Keller had.

Keller turned his gaze back to Beecher and the spell was broken. Ryan slowly moved away. This dance was meant for two, and Ryan still wasn’t sure if he wanted to learn all the steps.

Voyeuristic Ryan! Love it! But really,beyond the hotness factor,it was touching to see Ryan as wanting to have the gentleness in sex that Chris and Toby have.And the description of him wanting to move,touch,feel connect,be an extension of another actually sounds like the way Ryan was in the show.He did really need that,which is part of the reason he fell for Gloria.She provided that,and emotional support when he needed it.
I'm enjoying this series very much!

I really wanted this to show his progression, since this is the midpoint, he should definitely be seeing this as a possibility of something that he wants in life. And what more visible example in Oz, than Beecher & Keller.
