Chapter Eight

What could top this? Jack wondered. The traditional furnishings were so elegant he might have been sitting in some English lord’s castle instead of a gay men’s club. A beautiful place, full of beautiful men… But I’m not really one of them. Jack felt like an outsider. He looked over at the confident man sitting next to him. Even Richard had admitted to feeling different as a young man. It had taken him years to feel comfortable in his own skin. Jack could beat himself up over his insecurities, or he could enjoy the rest of the night.

Jack spotted a waiter approaching with their drinks. The alcohol would relax him. Loosen up and live it up, that was the key. Jack took a sip just before the lights were lowered and a voice came over the loudspeaker.

“Gentlemen, it’s Friday evening, and you know what that means here at the Gentlemen’s Lounge. It’s time to welcome our featured performer.”

The erotic beat of Mika’s “Relax, Take It Easy” started playing, and suddenly the low-key lounge transformed into a pulsating nightclub. More men streamed into the room and filled the seats. The crowd started clapping wildly. A spotlight shone down on the stage, and a man stepped under it. The clapping got louder.

Jack’s heart skipped a beat, and he let out an involuntary gasp.

Alex faced front and flashed the crowd a dazzling grin. He grabbed the edges of his leather vest and pulled them apart, revealing a sexy smattering of dark hair between chiseled pecs. Jack stared slack-jawed at the dark treasure trail that disappeared under the leather pants.

Richard leaned over and spoke in his ear. “He’s magnificent, isn’t he?”

Oh yeah! Jack managed to croak out an unintelligible response, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the bulge at Alex’s crotch. It occurred to him that everyone else in the room was looking at the same thing. He glanced over at Richard. The man was practically salivating, his hand on his pants, massaging his own crotch.

So much for genteel civility.

Jack had never felt such intense jealousy. Ever. It felt like someone had kicked him in the gut with steel-toed boots. He tried to squelch the unfamiliar emotions. Alex was nothing to him. Just a coworker. A coworker with a secret life Jack knew nothing about.

Alex’s face was flush with excitement. Did he actually enjoy this?

Parading around in front of a crowd of drooling men. It sure looked that way.

Jack knew that the blinding spotlight prevented Alex from seeing him or anyone else in the audience, for that matter.
