Horatio walked into the bedroom and stopped short at the doorway. He looked at his two lovers, they were talking quietly on the bed grinning, conspiring. He smiled a content and happy smile. He never admitted to either of them, but he was apprehensive at first. When he had found out Eric was courting Speed, he almost backed off, fearful of rejection. But something in him suggested that he and Eric should team up, so they could both woo Speed. He had loved Speed for over a year, and would rather have apart of him than nothing. Over the past six weeks the three had become close, to the point he knew he could not live without both of them in his life.

"Should I be worried?" Horatio tossed his cufflinks and watch onto the dresser.

"Worried?" Speed grinned winking at Eric.

Horatio stood at the end of the bed, hands on his hips. "The two of you conspiring like common criminals…"

"Common," Eric sounded wounded. "H, we're a higher class than that."

"What's got you two whispering behind my back?" Horatio pulled his dress shirt out of his pants, unhooking the belt as he headed for the closet.

"April seventh mean anything to you?" Speed quipped. "I owe the two of you for the gifts from valentines," Speed smirked, his brown eyes dancing with mirth. "And Calleigh's stopped blushing so I think we need to up the ante."

"I'm in trouble aren't I?" Horatio leaned against the closet doorway.

Speed got off the bed, "Trouble? Depends on what you consider trouble." His hand slipped under Horatio's shirt caressing the soft skin. Horatio's hand slid into Speed's dark curls and pulled him into a deep kiss. Speed stepped back pulling Horatio with him, refusing to abandon the kiss.

Eric kneeled on the bed, watching with dark eyes as Speed maneuvered Horatio right to him. Eric's fingers itched to get under the purple dress shirt. He had been dying all day wanting nothing but to slip his hands under the shirt, and tease Horatio mercifully. Eric leaned forward nibbling on Horatio's ear, his hands slipping under the shirt taking over from Speed's caress.

Horatio groaned, his head falling onto Speed's shoulder as his two lovers played his body expertly. It was moments like these that made his life worth living. Not to be left out Horatio mouth slowly sucked and nibbled on Speed's neck and shoulder, finding that one spot that drives the man to his knees. Horatio jerked his head in surprised when Speed fell to his knees. He looked down as Speed unzipped and dropped his suit pants and pulled out his already hard and leaking cock. Horatio groaned his head falling back against Eric, as Speed swallowed him whole. Eric chuckled in his ear, "Like that?"

Horatio only nodded, the sensations Speed was creating frying his brain. Eric turned Horatio's head devouring the man's mouth, his fingers slick and gently probing Horatio's entrance. It only took one brush against his prostate and a final lick and he came down Speed's throat.

Speed stood back up wiping his mouth, he leaned over Horatio's shoulder kissing Eric passionately. Horatio moved out from between them and moved in behind Speed. Eric wrapped his arms around Speed pulling him closer, his tongue sweeping through Speed's mouth. Eric moved fast turning Speed around, his pants dropping to the floor with his boxers joining them a second later. Horatio took his mouth not letting him get a breath between.

Speed moaned in pleasure as Eric entered him, the sensation doubled when Horatio took him into his mouth. His hands gripped Horatio's red hair, while his head fell back onto Eric's shoulder. He turned his head and kissed Eric's neck, nibbling on the strong chin. Eric's thrusts were hard and deep, taking the two of them quickly to completion. Eric moaned out Speed's name as he buried himself deep in his lover, causing Speed to tense, Horatio's mouth milking him clean.

Later that evening, the three curled up on the couch, "Don't think you distracted us from our evil plans." Eric grinned at Horatio.

"Damn," Horatio's hand ran through Speed's hair.

"It was a good effort," Speed muttered falling asleep, "A really good effort."

~*~

"Any plans for your birthday?" Alexx asked as she handed him the latest victim's autopsy report.

"Ask the two conspirators down in the lab," Horatio nodded his head towards his office windows. Below Speed and Eric were chatting in the Trace lab, on cue they both looked up and grinned.

"Ah," Alexx grinned. "Good luck."

"Thanks, I'll need it," Horatio groaned. His birthday was next Monday, and so far the only request he had gotten from them, was that he get off early on Friday and no pagers or phones unless there was an extreme emergency over the weekend. He was absolutely giddy with fear.

~*~

Calleigh walked into the Trace lab, "Should I take the week off?"

"Why?" Speed asked as he continued analyzing the material found at the scene.

"A week before Horatio's birthday," Calleigh responded. "And if I know the way your evil dirty mind thinks."

"What? Afraid we'll embarrass you?" Eric smirked.

"It's not fair, if I don't get in with the fun." Calleigh crossed her arms in front of her.

Speed looked up from the microscope, "And if I promise to let you in on the fun?"

Calleigh's eyes went wide, "Fine I'll stick around." She flipped her hair back and smirked at the two boys, as she left the lab.

Eric looked at Speed, "What?" Speed asked.

"Does she still want to watch?" Eric asked a bit concerned.

Speed just smirked at him.

~ Friday ~

Horatio sat heavily into his seat, his head back and eyes closed as he tried let go of the tension in his shoulders. He hated department meetings, hated them with a passion. He groaned as he lifted his head up to face the paperwork on his desk. His goal was to get through the stack, then leave early like he promised.

A portable DVD player sat on his desk, headphones included. He picked up the note that was sitting on top.

'Leave 1pm sharp. Get in your Hummer; a bag and note will be waiting for you. In the meantime sit back and enjoy the show.'

Horatio lifted the DVD player's screen, slipped on the headphones and hit play. His mouth dropped in shock, he hit pause and looked around to make sure no one was around. He hit play. His eyes were glued to the small screen.

They were on Speed's bed, Horatio noticed. Both gloriously in the nude wrapped around each other, Eric's darker skin accented by Speed's paler skin. Horatio watched in rapt attention as Eric got onto his hands and knees, Speed kneeling behind him. Horatio hit pause once again to catch his breath. He looked up and around the room once again to make sure no one snuck in while he was entranced by the dirty little video.

He hit play and listened as Speed talked dirty to Eric, asking him how he wanted it. Did he want it fast and hard, or slow and sensual? That was something Speed had surprised them both with he had a creative devious little mind coming up with new ideas and ways to bring them pleasure – and lets not forget that dirty mouth

Eric moaned as Speed entered him, thrusting back taking Speed in fully. Speed pounded into Eric pulling delicious moans out of Eric. He wrapped himself around Eric's back, taking his hard cock into his hand. Horatio swallowed as Speed pumped Eric, asking if he was imagining Horatio's hands or his hot mouth on him. One more thrust and pull and both men were coming. The screen went black. Horatio stared at it panting slightly.

A noise startled him; Calleigh was at his door folder in her hand. "Do I want to know?"

Horatio took off the headphones, "Probably, but I'm not telling you."

She smirked, "You look flushed."

"Can I help you?" Horatio asked calmly.

Calleigh handed him the file, "Just need you to sign off on the ballistics report." She paused, her eyes on the DVD player. "Can I see it?"

"No," Horatio pulled it towards him.

She wrinkled her nose, with a huff, "One day." She turned and walked off. She stopped at the door and looked back at Horatio. "Enjoy your weekend."

~*~

At one o'clock exactly Horatio was out the door. He was in the Hummer five minutes later. He laid the DVD player on the front seat next to the bag lying there. He didn't trust Calleigh not to break into his office and view the DVD. The woman had a voyeurism kink and Speed wasn't helping more like encouraging.

He pulled the note off the steering wheel, 'follow the directions to your next location and clue.'

Horatio pulled out of the lab parking lot and followed the directions written out on the note. He was beginning to enjoy his birthday surprises. He pulled up to one of Miami's high end spas. He parked, and walked into the building.

"Lieutenant Caine," The receptionist smiled at him. "Follow me, you're just on time for your massage."

Horatio's eyebrow rose as he slipped off his sunglasses, "Massage?"

"Right this way," She headed down the hallway towards the back of the spa. He stepped into a small Japanese garden, the massage table sat in the middle of the enclosed garden. "You change and place your clothes in the back room. Then lay face down on the table your masseuse will be with you shortly." She left the way they came, closing the panel door behind her.

Soft music played through the room/garden, relaxing to the ears and senses. He stripped down and hung his suit up in the closet. He wrapped one of the towels around his waist and headed back out to the garden. With a quick look around he stretched out on the table shoulders relaxed head resting on his for arms. He wasn't sure how long he lay there, dozing softly when he felt strong hands on his back. Hands he recognized.

"Just relax," Eric's voice was soft and quiet.

Horatio relaxed into his touch. Eric worked on the tense muscles getting them to relax under his capable hands. Horatio moaned as Eric worked out a particular knot along his lower back. Eric whispered to turn over as he finished Horatio's feet. Horatio turned onto his back his arms lying limp by his side, completely relaxed. Eric's touch turned sensual, more arousing than relaxing. Horatio moaned as his nipples got extra attention. He felt a cool breeze as Eric removed the towel and began massaging his thighs, hips, and stomach, never touching where Horatio wanted.

Horatio moaned as Eric finally took him in a firm grip, stroking him gentle but with firm even strokes. As he stroked Horatio with one hand, his other teased one of his nipples, then moved to the next one. Horatio came with a muted moan, his whole body relaxed, boneless. The towel was placed back over him; he felt a soft kiss on his forehead then heard the door open and close.

He lay there a few minutes to get himself composed. He really liked the birthday surprises. He sat up and walked back into the changing room to get his clothes when he noticed his suit was gone and in place of it was jeans and a dark blue button down shirt. He slipped on the new outfit and headed back out to the front of the spa.

"Did you enjoy your massage?" The receptionist asked.

"Very relaxing," Horatio smiled as he slipped on his glasses.

"There's a note here for you," She handed him the note as he walked by. "Have a nice weekend."

"Thank you," Horatio headed back out to the Hummer. He waited until he was inside the vehicle before reading the next note.

'Now that you're relaxed, follow these directions for a new sensation.'

Horatio looked at the directions recognizing the section of town he was heading for. His curiosity peaked at what his lovers were up to next.

He pulled up to the address listed and looked at the shop through the front window. He got out of the vehicle and stared at the front door. He shrugged and entered the shop slipping off his glasses letting his eyes adjust to the dark atmosphere. He looked around the walls, admiring the artwork of the various tattoo designs.

"Must be Caine," Horatio turned and the voice. "I'm Tiny." Horatio gave the man a once over, he was well over three hundred pounds and had seven to eight inches on Horatio's six foot frame. "Speed figured you wouldn't be interested in a tattoo, but he about came in his pants with the idea of a piercing." Horatio forehead furrowed. "Though he did make mention that if you were uncomfortable that he wouldn't take it personally, but wanted me to remind you of how much you enjoyed playing with his and to think about it."

Horatio's thoughts centered on Speed's pierced nipple. How much he enjoyed tonguing it, and pulling on it to hear Speed's strangled moans. "Okay."

"Come on back," Tiny pulled back the curtain. "We're clean by the way. Registered and everything, but we like to keep the bad boy biker image."

Horatio grinned at the very sterile clean environment in the back room, "Good to know."

"So you want a stud or hoop?" Tiny held up a display case of various rings.

Horatio looked at the display case; a silver hoop with a dark blue stone caught his eyes, "that one."

Tiny grinned, "Damn I owe Speed twenty bucks."

"Is that the one he picked?" Horatio unbuttoned his shirt.

Tiny swiped the area with an alcohol pad, making sure the area was clean. Horatio watched as he pulled out the tools needed, trying not to cringe at the needle. "He told me to let you pick, but thought the one you picked would look the best. I figured you would have gone something less noticeable for the first piercing."

Horatio closed his eyes, trying not to tense, "Why go subtle?" Horatio cringed at the shooting pain. He opened his eyes to see Tiny smirking. "You're done?"

"Yeah," Tiny grinned as he cleaned the equipment. "Keep it clean, and if you see any redness get it checked out."

Horatio buttoned up his shirt, feeling a slight soreness in his chest. He held out his hand to Tiny, "Thanks."

"Your welcome," Tiny grinned. "Wait till you see Speed's new tattoo."

Horatio's eyes went wide, "A new one?"

"Oh yeah, it's beautiful if I don't say so myself." Tiny stood proud. "Even lover boy Eric hasn't seen it yet."

Horatio nodded at the information. So Tiny knew of their relationship, that means Speed trusted him. "Next time we'll get him in here."

"When's his birthday?" Tiny asked as he walked Horatio to the door.

"December," Horatio slipped on his glasses.

"There's always Memorial Day," Tiny laughed as he handed Horatio another card. "Have fun."

"I'm sure I will," Horatio left the shop and climbed back into the Hummer. He looked at the next card.

'Go to the airport, your flight leaves in two hours. Tickets and information is in your bag. PS the ring won't set off the detectors.'

Horatio looked at the card shocked, "Flight?"

~ Dulles Airport ~

Horatio couldn’t keep the grin off his face as he exited the plane; traveling first class was a treat. One he would have to repay his lovers for. He carried his bag through the terminal he figured he would find both or one of his lovers waiting for him. He stopped at the sight of a chauffer holding a sign with his name, or not.

"I'm Horatio Caine," Horatio stopped in front of the younger man.

"I'm Paul; shall I take your bag?" Paul introduced himself to Horatio.

"I got it," Horatio kept a firm grip on it, the DVD player was in it.

"Right this way sir," Paul led him out of the terminals towards baggage claim and taxi/limo loading area.

Horatio slipped into the backseat of the town car. He watched the scenery go by as Paul led them through DC traffic into the downtown area, "First time to DC?"

"Been here a few times," Horatio commented.

The town car pulled up to one of the fancier hotels in the DC area. Paul opened the door for him and handed him a small envelope. "Have a pleasant stay, sir."

"Thank you," Horatio walked into the lobby bag in hand. He opened the envelope to read the next clue.

'Turn right and walk into the clothiers.'

Horatio looked to his right, a little shocked to see the clothiers shop, and more shocked to see an older man smiling at him motioning him to come on into the store. Horatio walked towards the store, the older gentleman took his bag and pointed towards the dressing room. Horatio entered the dressing room and whistled at the suit laid out for him. Dark grey pants and coat with a soft peach color shirt. He quickly dressed into the new suit. He gasped slightly when the shirt brushed against the new ring.

He exited the dressing room, his bag missing and the older gentleman grinning. "Your bag has been taken up to your room." He handed him a new card. "You're one lucky man."

"I know," Horatio opened the new card.

'Take the elevator to the top.'

"Have a good night," The older man smiled as Horatio left the store.

He was amazed at how much trouble the two of them had gone to, to pull this birthday surprise off. He knew this weekend would be when he told Eric he was falling in love with him also. The two had started off caring for each other, Speed being the one they both loved. But these past weeks, Horatio noticed his feelings were stronger and felt himself falling for the Cuban as time went by. He couldn't say he was in love with him yet, but he was well on his way.

Horatio stepped out of the elevator and followed the hallway to the doorway at the end of it. Opening it he stepped out onto the roof of the hotel. White lights and paper lanterns swung from terraces as he followed the path, at the end of it stood Eric and Speed in suits, with a beautiful meal set out ready for them.

Horatio walked up to Speed his hand caressing the smooth cheeks, "Wow."

"Don’t get used to it," Speed kissed his palm. "Nice flight?"

"You two out did yourselves," Horatio turned towards Eric giving him a sweet kiss. "It's really too much."

"You deserve it," Eric smiled at him. "Besides you only turned 45 once."

Horatio gave him a mock glare, "Let's not talk about my age."

"Can't keep up with us youngin's old man?" Speed grinned as he led them to the table.

"I'll show how much I can keep up with you two," Horatio grinned as he sat down. "Did you cook?"

"No," Speed sat down next to him, Eric across from Speed. "Need at least one day off. You two keep me handcuffed in the kitchen."

"If I recall," Eric picked up his wine glass. "You enjoyed every moment of that and were screaming for more."

"I know I'll never look at sweat and sour sauce the same again." Horatio smirked at the two men.

Speed held up his glass, "Happy Birthday Horatio Caine. The moment you let me into your life was the best gift anyone could have given me." Speed smiled at him and turned also to Eric, "Both of you have made my life worth living. I look forward to each day. I love you both with all of my heart."

Eric gave him a bright smile, he turned towards Horatio, "H, you believed in me and gave me a chance as a CSI. Then you gave me a chance to learn to love you as we together loved Speed. In these weeks I've found myself falling each day for you - Happy Birthday."

Horatio swallowed, emotion coursing through him. He lifted his glass to the two of them. "Speed I've loved you from afar, the day I took a chance with you and you said yes is the happiest day of my life. The fact that Eric also said yes, made it even more special. I never thought I would find someone this late in life, let alone two special someones. No one has ever done this for me. Thank you for this, for loving me, for taking a chance with me."

The three men sipped their drinks. "Please tell me there are no more surprises." Horatio set his glass down.

"We fly out Sunday afternoon," Eric informed him. "For two days we can play tourist."

"Eric is drooling over one of the exhibits at the Smithsonian," Speed grinned at Eric.

"Which one?" Horatio asked. Eric had surprised both of them by being well versed in Art History.

"Seventeenth Century Dutch art," Eric grinned. "It's at the art museum."

"Plus there's an interesting exhibit at the Native American Museum about the Navajo," Speed grinned.

"Sounds like a plan," Horatio smiled at his two lovers. "Do you mind if we drive out to Arlington Cemetery?"

"No, why?" Eric asked.

"I have some friends I would like to visit," Horatio's voice lowered.

"Will you tell us about them?" Speed asked.

"When we get there," Horatio promised. "Let's for now enjoy this meal and company."

The three men talked, laughed, and enjoyed each others company. Speed played some soft jazz music letting Eric and Horatio dance under the stars. He refused to dance; saying he had no rhythm, Eric pointed out Speed knew how to make the moves on a club dance floor. Speed blushed saying having sex standing up on a dance floor was different from the waltz. Horatio pulled Speed into his arms, taking the lead. Eric stepped behind Speed showing him the steps. The three laughed and enjoyed a night they wouldn't forget.

~ Monday Morning ~

"So how was your birthday?" Alexx asked Horatio as the two walked through the lab hallways.

"Good," Horatio thought back to the days filled with museums, battlefields, and emotional discoveries. The nights filled with passion and play. Eric was right Speed really knew how to move on the club dance floor.

"That's all? Good," Alexx looked at him. "Nothing more than that?"

"They surprised me with a trip to DC," Horatio entered his office. "We went to the Smithsonian, Arlington, drove out to Manassas, and saw the sights. Then we would go back to the hotel…"

"Okay I get the picture," Alexx grinned. "I'm glad you had a good time."

"It was nice, relaxing, just enjoyable," Horatio looked down into the Trace lab is smile turning into a frown. He was watching as Speed handed Calleigh a DVD. At one point of the weekend Speed had convinced them to videotape themselves during sex. "He wouldn't."

Alexx looked down, "What's that he giving Calleigh?"

"He wouldn't," Horatio willed Speed to look up at him. Speed looked up and gave him a tiny smirk. He watched as Calleigh squealed and hugged Speed and ran out the door.


"He wouldn't," Alexx confirmed. "At least I don't think he would."

~ Down in the lab ~

"I got you something," Speed grinned at Calleigh. He handed her a DVD, grinning knowing full well Horatio was watching.

She looked at it, reading the title, and squealed. She jumped into Speed's arm kissing his cheek, "Oh My God! I've been looking for this for ages. How did you know I wanted this?"

"Heard you talking about it," Speed looked up at Horatio and smirked. "Only you would be looking for a documentary about the mini balls used in the Civil War."

"Hey, a girl's got to have a hobby," Calleigh kissed him again and ran out of the Trace lab.

Not two minutes later, Speed smirked when Horatio and Eric walked in, "So what was Calleigh all excited about?" Eric asked his eyes going between his two lovers.

"A DVD I gave her," Speed shifted his slides.

"What DVD?" Eric asked suddenly concerned.

"Something I picked up in DC," Speed commented. "Do you honestly think I would give her a sex video of the three of us?"

The two looked at him, "yes."

Speed rolled his eyes at them, "She doesn't want a DVD of the three of us." Speed paused for effect, "She would prefer a live viewing."
