Twenty-Four

It seemed the wooing had been working. Touching, kissing, feeling Joey’s body pressed against him was the stuff Buck’s fantasies were made of. Buck had no idea what he was doing or was going to happen now. He had given himself permission to act like he thought a boyfriend would; he had let himself touch and kiss Joey without second-guessing himself. Joey seemed to like it when Buck touched his lower back or neck. It was a possessive move, but Buck was going with it, and Joey’s shivered responses encouraged him. Buck was high on Joey’s scent, the feel of his skin, the glow of his smile.

Unfortunately, it seemed the chariot he had been riding in was about to turn back into a pumpkin. What a terrible metaphor; Buck hated pumpkin and he certainly wasn’t a princess. He kept his arm wrapped around Joey’s waist while he said goodbye to his other guests, sensing immediately when Joey tensed. Buck was afraid he might bolt out the front door with Kevin, Jon, or even Sterling. Although if he was any judge there was not a lot of love lost between Joey and Sterling, so Buck was probably safe there. Soon it was just four of them left: Adam, Micah, Joey, and himself. Joey went from human noodle to stiff as a board in seconds. Damn.

“I should get going, too,” Joey muttered.

Adam grinned at them, a knowing, wolfish look. “Micah and I are getting out of here; don’t let us hurry you.” Buck blushed. The heat in his cheeks felt like fire. He couldn’t look at Joey; if he did he might pass out from not being able to breathe. Crud. Crud. Crud.

Micah smacked Adam on the arm. “Be a little more sensitive. Aren’t you always threatening people with classes? Sheesh. G’nite, you guys; thanks for the invite.”

If Buck didn’t think Adam would clock him, he might have considered giving Micah a hug. Adam could be scary, though tonight, after a few beers and some champagne, he had loosened up a bit.

“G’nite,” Adam parroted, but he still had that knowing look on his face. Jerk.

“Uhhh.” Buck honestly hadn’t thought about anything beyond the party. Well, he might have thought a little bit, but hadn’t gotten farther than that. Never imagined that Joey and he might go farther than a kiss. Buck wanted that; he wanted more than a kiss. Suddenly he had a montage in his head of Joey with no clothes on, kissing him, maybe doing more. A little more air escaped his lungs, leaving him light-headed.

Joey seemed equally thumped. He stared at Adam and Micah, his beautiful mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Micah chuckled and pulled his boyfriend out the door, grabbing their coats from the front closet on the way.

Xena, who had been incredibly well-behaved during the party, probably because she had been plied with treats by every single attendee, popped up from behind the couch to come and lean against Joey, tail wagging, silently asking if they were going, too.
