Summary: Holmes brings his riding crop on a stakeout, leading to some interesting moments for Watson.

Author’s Note: Written in honor of Fawn’s discussion of REDH on the Holmesslash Yahoo Group. Fawn lamented that Holmes’ riding crop really didn’t come up enough in slash. So, instead of going to sleep, I wrote this. *hides*


The Stakeout

I cannot believe he brought his riding crop.

We wait, crouched in a darkened room, for our culprit to arrive, our only illumination provided by moonlight streaming through the dirty window. The dust is thick in this abandoned house, but Holmes assures both Lestrade and me that our criminal will be here, tonight, to finalize his dastardly plan.

I know our quarry is dangerous. I know I must be alert. I must pay attention. But damn, how am I to concentrate when Holmes is stroking that infernal crop!

Oh, it seems innocent enough. Surely Lestrade thinks that Holmes’ actions are just a release of nervous energy. Anyone who would see him would surmise as much. But I, who know him so well, know that he is purposefully tormenting me.

His long, sensitive fingers run over the handle length, slowly, teasingly, barely touching the crop, and then moving steadily to gently caress the knob on the end. My body begins to respond.

Holmes doesn’t look at me; he doesn’t look at anything except the riding crop in his hands.

My breath quickens.

“Are you alright, Doctor?” Lestrade questions, looking concerned.

I swallow hard. “Perfectly fine, Inspector,” I answer, giving him a quick, albeit strained, smile. “Just a little tired of the waiting, that’s all,” I explain.

“I understand perfectly,” Lestrade says peevishly. “How much longer do you think we have to be here, Mr. Holmes?”

Holmes smiles at me and continues his stroking. His caresses become firmer, longer, sliding down the entire end of the handle. I glare at him.

Holmes never stops his stroking. “I’m certain that the ultimate event will occur soon enough, Lestrade. Have some patience,” he says, forming a tightened grip around the riding crop and leisurely pushing it through his hand.

I cannot help myself; I think back to our prior time together. My God, it was only last night. Holmes used the crop upon me, stinging my buttocks in that delightful manner that always leaves me pleading with him for release. But release was slow in coming. He taunted me, lightly stroking my entrance with that selfsame handle now firmly in his grasp. Then, when I could take no more, he finally, finally pushed the riding crop inside of me.

I grow impossibly hard at the memory.

“Are you quite sure that you’re alright?” Lestrade asks me, interrupting my thoughts.

I glare again at Holmes and try to get my breathing under control. “Quite fine,” I lie to Lestrade. “It’s just the dust in here.”

The Inspector looks from me to Holmes, who affects an air of artful innocence. Lestrade frowns, looking perplexed. “If you’re sure…” he finally says. He doesn’t look convinced.

I nod, not trusting my voice.

“When will he come?” Lestrade asks impatiently.

Holmes looks at Lestrade and then at me. “Oh, I’m sure he’ll come very soon,” he says in a steady voice.

My eyes widen. No, surely he couldn’t mean…

Lestrade nods and looks out the window, obviously bored with his surroundings and his companions.

I turn to Holmes, my eyes pleading, begging him not to do what I know he’s about to do. He’s taken the riding crop and placed it near his lips, moving the handle back and forth oh so slowly. His eyes meet mine, and I can see just the tiny bit of his tongue peeking out.

I clench my fists and try to control my breathing.

Holmes glances at Lestrade to confirm that he’s still preoccupied. He then drags the tip of his tongue over the length of the handle until he finally reaches the knob. Looking me directly in the eyes, he places the end of the riding crop in his mouth and sucks, hard.

I find my release.

I must give a strangled moan, for Lestrade is at my side in an instant. “Doctor,” he says insistently, “whatever is wrong?”

But then Holmes is there, gentling me, answering when I cannot. “It looks like the good Watson has developed a cramp,” he says reasonably.

I’m about to agree, but we hear a noise coming from the front door. “He’s here,” Holmes whispers fiercely, brandishing his crop as a weapon and springing into the next room. Lestrade quickly runs after him.

I gather myself for a moment and then grab my revolver, wondering how I’m ever going to make it through this night. Then I follow Holmes, as I always do.

Um... wow... suprisingly hot! *giggles* Never really thought of that as a fandom but wow... this story is very very good!

Thank you. This just came to me suddenly and I couldn't go to sleep until I had written it.

Never really thought of that as a fandom
I discovered this fandom, basically by accident, a few months ago, and I absolutely fell in love with it. There's something unexpectantly hot about two repressed Victorian gentlemen... it must be all the UST.

Glad you liked the fic!

GUH. Wow, that was really, really hot. Evil Holmes, tormenting poor Watson like that. I hope he makes it up to him later. Great little fic, thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much. Yes, Holmes is an evil tease, isn't he? I think tormeneting Watson is one of his favorite activities. No wonder Watson claims to be long-suffering. Glad you enjoyed the fic.

There is definitely a dearth of riding crop porn. We must all endeavour to correct the situation!

Thanks for reading. Glad you liked it.

A riding crop. Now there's an idea... ;o) This delightfully hot little story made me laugh out loud. Poor poor Watson. Mean Holmes. What a perfect couple.

(I personally wonder how long Holmes cleaned the thing before he even dared think of getting it close to his mouth...)

From: [identity profile] daylyn.livejournal.com
Thank you! I now know why Watson is so "long-suffering" -- Holmes enjoys teasing him too much.

(I personally wonder how long Holmes cleaned the thing before he even dared think of getting it close to his mouth...)

*snort* You know, I actually had that problem while writing this. But then I figured that Holmes is quite fastidious and Watson must have a lot of disenfectant and... I just closed my eyes and went for it.

Glad you liked it.

It will probably involve the riding crop!

Hot... Guh. Oh my. Never thought a riding crop could be so sexy.

I want to see his revenge. Pretty please with a top hat?

Thank you! There's something so inherently phallic in a riding crop -- and they have so many uses!

I want to see his revenge.

I can't make any promises, but I'll try. Maybe inspiration will come to me and I'll have another sleepless night fantasizing thinking about Watson taking control of the crop.

Glad you liked the fic.

*pant* Holmes is e v i l. Evil, I say.

Watson is so blessed lucky! The canonical crop is "loaded" which might prove a bit dicey for Watson-whipping, but knowing Holmes, he has two: one for carnal use and the loaded one for criminal! The latter may provide some crossover opportunities for really BAD (but pretty) criminals! ;-P

WONDERFUL work, particularly Holmes' "he'll come very soon."

Thank you! Evil!Holmes is quite fun, I must admit.

Really? That's good to know.

but knowing Holmes, he has two: one for carnal use and the loaded one for criminal!
I love this idea, and it certainly makes things more... er... hygenic. And I can definitely see Holmes ready to punish the "pretty" criminals... and Watson leading him away.

Bad Sherlock, no buscuit! I'd say Holmes is an evil genius for torturing his poor lover so -- especially in front of company.

He has developed a cramp, indeed. Great work!

Thank you so much! Holmes is fun as an evil, tormenting cock-tease. Poor Lestrade, he's bound to wonder (and probably figure out) what was going on there.

I second the plea for a sequel in which Holmes gets his...

This was fabulous, your riding crop porn is an undeniable success (now tell Holmes to wipe that smug look off his face!)

Thank you! I'm thrilled that this little ficlet was so well received -- the idea suddenly came to me and I just had to write it. And I think I've got an idea for a sequel... maybe (I make no promises, but Watson is pestering me to let him have a go at Holmes).

Poor, oblivious Lestrade. Although there have been some thoughts that he goes home and realizes in the middle of the night what they were up to. Of course, he's then conflicted -- does he arrest them, beg to join them, or go get his own riding crop and perform unspeakable acts on Hopkins? Hmmm...

I'm so happy you liked this. Thank you so much!

See the icon? That's what this did to me. Very hot and very well written. I just started looking for Holmes/Watson fic and this makes me hopeful about finding more of good quality.

Thank you! And welcome to the fandom. There are so many talented authors who write absolutely amazing stories. My little works pale in comparsion to some of the great stuff I've read.

I suggest you take a look at Lyra's Holmes/Watson links page:
http://www.liquidfic.net/Holmes_Watson.html

It has updates of new stories, her recommendations, and lots and lots of links to lots of stories and archives. It's a great resource for getting starting in the love that is H/W.

Enjoy!

(God, I'm late in commenting on this.) Just kinda got into the fandom and thinks this is a wonderfully written piece. Sherlock teasing Watson with the riding crop was cetianly amusing. I think the last time I read anything with a riding crop used like this (I think) was in the "1776" fandom. And Lestrade was so oblivious...XD

Well... I'm late in reply, so we're both even ;)

Thanks for your comments. This is a wonderful fandom (I found it myself just a few months ago and I fell in love with it). So glad you liked my little riding crop fic -- oblivious Lestrade was one of my favorite parts.

I'm really very late in responding to this (I'm such a horrible fangirl), but I now that I've read it, I couldn't not comment. My God. I knew there was a reason Holmes kept that riding crop, but... yeah.... That was delightfully amusing (not to mention quite steamy). Well done, indeed.

Why thank you! Yes, I think Holmes keeps his crop handy for many reasons... much to Watson's delight dismay.

I was just reccing this fic to a friend of mine when I realised that I hadn't actually reviewed it before :0 So, firstly, my apologies for that! And secondly- thank you for such an enjoyable read. I feel proud to blame you for my continued fascination with all things SH/JW related, heh!

...and with a riding crop too!? You naughty girl ;D can I marry your dirty imagination?

Keep writing!
Peace,

Thank you! A review is always such a wonderful surprise -- I'm just thrilled that you liked my little piece, especially enough that you would rec it. Thanks again.

And I'm so happy to have introduced you to the world of Sherlock Holmes slash. Come and stay (and play) a while.

I have so many stories in my head -- my hardest thing is actually getting them onto the screen. But I've started two stories *sigh* and one of them is (somewhat) close to being finished. So I promise to keep writing more. Soon. Really.

Hope your Mom is doing well!

This comment might be unexpected considering you posted the story in 2007... but I utterly loved this! [livejournal.com profile] janeturenne recommended it to me. Very sexy. I love Holmes's seduction, Watson's indignation, and most of all Lestrade's utter cluelessness. I'll definitely be adding your other stories to my to-read list! Thanks for sharing this! :)

Thank you so much. It's always such a treat when I get a comment on a story that was posted a while ago. And I agree that Lestrade's cluelessness is rather endearing. Poor clueless!Lestrade.

There's a sequel to this story, if you're interested -- The Reckoning:

http://daylyn.livejournal.com/16669.html

I also have lots more stories, but these are probably among my most light-hearted (and the sequel is definitely smutty).

I'll have to thank [livejournal.com profile] janeturenne for recommending me (her stuff is absolutely wonderful, btw).
