Jack
Jack could feel the pulse of the music a block away from the club and tightened his hold of Adam’s hand.Going to a place unexpected wasn’t Jack’s style, but he wanted to have a night free of judgment, let loose, and have fun with Adam.He’d found a gay club with a Christmas theme night in a random search the week before and scanned through pictures from previous years and it looked to be fun.There would be singers and a drag show and since Jack decided to hold nothing back from their relationship, he would dance with Adam.
Adam smiled when Jack paid the cover and walked them inside.The bright bar was decorated with Christmas lights and decorations draped over every surface, but it was the feel of the atmosphere around them that was freeing.People laughed, danced, and kissed as though they hadn’t had a care in the world and something inside Jack’s chest relaxed at the sight.
“Do you want to dance or order a drink first?”
“Let’s snag a table and order drinks.Then I hope to entice you to dance with me.”Adam leaned over and kissed Jack.
When they pulled apart, they were both breathless and Adam had the look of pure lust that drove Jack crazy.
The club was busy, so when Adam headed toward a secluded booth that had freed up, Jack wrapped his arms around Adam’s waist and followed him.They signaled a waiter and ordered a drink soon after they sat.
“What do you think?”
“I like it here.I can relax and be with you.”Jack snagged another kiss, which made Adam smile.“It’s freeing to embrace who you are and the only opinion that matters, in the long run, is yours.Is it okay if I keep touching you, kissing you?”
“I love it.I have missed you, especially sleeping with you.”Adam squeezed his hand.
“I know, sweetheart.I didn’t want to pressure you into anything before I can prove to you that I have changed.I would love to take you to bed and love you all night long, but for now, being with you is enough.”
Jack was taken by surprise when Adam cupped his face and kissed him.When Adam ran his tongue over his bottom lip, silently asking for entrance, Jack opened up for him and growled deep in his chest at the flare of need as Adam deepened the kiss.Jack wanted to pull Adam onto his lap and kiss him breathless, but he settled for wrapping his arms around Adam and keeping him close.
When they broke the kiss, Adam’s smile was breathtaking.He was happy and for reasons Jack was in awe of, Adam was happy with him.He reached for Adam’s hand and linked their fingers together.
After taking a few sips of their drinks and some talking about their week, Adam pulled Jack onto the dance floor.Jack had never been a great dancer, but Adam moved smoothly around Jack and he was torn between watching his beautiful man dance and reaching for Adam and devouring his mouth.He smiled at Adam as he gripped his hips and moved them both to the rhythm of the music.
As the hour’s passed, Jack found himself having a great time.He still needed Adam’s hands on his hips to keep him from toppling over and taking out the others next to him, but being able to watch Adam in his element and knowing he had chosen Jack had him in awe.
Adam was a beautiful man, there was no other way to describe him.His dark brown hair had grown longer over the past few weeks, but Jack loved to run his hands through it.Adam’s milk chocolate eyes seemed to see right through him, but also looked at him with love.Jack was still getting used to the way Adam made him feel from a simple glance.On weekends, Adam didn’t shave so there was a little stubble on his face that made him look rugged.
“You’re staring.”
“I’m thinking how lucky I am and how gorgeous you are.”
Adam threw his head back and laughed, making Jack smile along with him.Jack pulled him close, not caring that they were both hot from dancing, and kissed him soundly.
“Let’s go back for a drink.”Adam led the way back to their booth.
As Adam settled against Jack’s chest after they sat in their booth, the music started to fade and the lights from the stage illuminated.The MC came out and had everyone laughing but the noise faded into the background as Jack pulled Adam closer, enjoying hard muscle pressed against him.He took his eyes off the stage and pressed his lips against the back of Adam’s ear.
“Are you paying attention?”
“To everything that matters, yes.”Jack continued, moving his lips down his neck and smiled when Adam tilted his head to the side to give Jack access.
Taking advantage of the darkness that surrounded them, Jack’s hand’s roamed over Adam’s covered chest.He wasn’t trying to turn him on, but Jack needed to touch Adam.Despite his intentions, Jack felt his cock grow and he growled into Adam’s ear as it pressed against the zipper of his jeans and Adam’s lower back.When Adam wiggled back and let out a low moan, Jack sucked in a breath, about to suggest that they head out.
A lovely voice drifted over to them, a soulful version of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” broke through the haze of lust that surrounded both of them.Jack wrapped his arms around Adam, not quite ready for their evening to come to an end and they turned their attention to the stage.
Something caught in Jack’s chest as the song continued to play.Something stuck in his throat as the crescendo shivered over him, and he was grateful Adam was in his arms and sharing this moment with him.Sensing Jack’s emotions, Adam pressed a kiss to his cheek, before laid his head back on Jack’s chest, right where Jack wanted him for the rest of their lives.
During a break in the performances, Jack signaled the waiter for another round and turned to Adam and smiled at the look on his face.Adam looked peaceful and happy.
“Boss?”
Jack pulled his attention away from Adam but tightened his arms as he turned and spotted Aiden, the head of his I.T. Department.The young man was brilliant when it came to computers and servers and had personally kept his business afloat.For the longest time, he had a manager who knew nothing about computers but knew well how to manage a group of people.But Aiden was both personable and knew the in’s and out’s of everything computer related.
