OOOO

The kiss made his heart flutter and his stomach churn, because he knew what it meant.

For some reason, even if he knew what it meant, he couldn't force himself to be the first to break off. His best friend's warm eyes fluttered, and then he was forced to stare into the soulful orbs. He couldn't do it. He couldn't look him in the eye and lie to him. So, he allowed his eyes to slide closed. With his eyes closed, at least he could make-believe that that arms around him where Jeff's. He could almost smell the scent that seemed to stick to the man's skin, and feel his dominant body overtake him.

It should have never come to this. But it had been weeks since Jeff had touched him, let alone look at him. And it wasn't like he had been the one to initiate the kiss. But it was still wrong, so wrong, and his mind's eye formed a very vivid image of how heartbroken Jeff would be when he found out what had happened. It didn't matter if it was only a kiss, or if he tore all of his clothes off and jumped into bed with Jay. He had turned his back on Jeff in his time of need. And that ate at him from the inside out.

Adam broke off and shoved his friend backwards, watching the look of confusion come over his face. Jay had never much liked Jeff – it wasn't that he had a problem with Jeff himself, but it didn't really help that every time they had a little problem Adam came running to Jay as if the world had ended. It didn't give Jay the best impression of their relationship. And Jay's number-one priority had always been Adam's happiness. Obviously, Jeff's neglect had taken its toll on him. The man's unquenchable libido hadn't been aroused in over a month!

Then, his phone vibrated on the coffee table. Adam didn't want to answer it. He knew who it was, and he didn't want to have to talk to him. If he talked to him, he would have to admit his mistake, and then all of this would be real. He was still trying to convince himself that it was all just a terribly vivid nightmare, and when he awoke he would be encased in Jeff's arms. However, he knew that it would only make Jeff more worried if he waited to answer it. So, he took a breath and accepted the call.

"Hey, baby!" He tried to sound cheery, but he failed miserably. He only succeeded in sounding painfully fake.

"Addy, where are you? You weren't home when I came home with Daylee from daycare, but I saw your note. I didn't think you'd be out this late, though. Do you need a ride?" Jeff asked, concern evident in his voice.

Adam sighed, his mask of fake cheeriness gone. "No, baby, I'm… fine. I just got a little caught up in somethin', that's all. I should be home soon."

"Good." You could hear the relief in his voice. "You sure you're OK, baby? You sound upset."

"I'm fine!" Adam responded a little too harshly.

Adam could hear the Charasmatic Enigma's breath hitch. "Fine. I'll see you when you come home."

Jeff sounded as if he was about to hang up, but Adam didn't want him to go to bed angry. "I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to lash out at you like that. I'm just… a little stressed out, that's all."

"Whatever."

With that, Jeff disconnected. Adam looked at his phone, dumbfounded, when it said that his husband had disconnected. Jeff had never hung up on him before. Tears welled up in his eyes as he chucked the phone at the wall as hard as he could, before he buried his face in Jay's chest. He didn't care that the other Canadian was probably the cause of all of his distress. All he cared about was the fact that Jeff would never forgive him for what he did, and he would leave, and take Daylee with him…

"Shh…" Jay soothingly ran his hand over Adam's long blond locks. "It's OK, baby. I'm here for ya…"

Adam was somewhat comforted by those words. It was true that the two used to entertain a relationship, but that had been thrown to hell the moment Adam first laid eyes on Jeff. Since then, all he had wanted was the Charasmatic Enigma's heart for his own. But right now, being nestled in Jay's arms felt pretty damn good. But he couldn't. He wouldn't do that to Jeff. His body, however, had other ideas. All he wanted was someone to love him, someone to show him a little affection. And Jay was more than happy to do just that…

Warm hands encased his hips, and this time Adam didn't refuse. He didn't so much as bat an eyelash as the other man's body hovered over his, lips coming to touch his in a passionate embrace. Jay was so much different than Jeff, but in that second, Adam was reminded of all of the things he loved about the other Canadian. It was so wrong, but (as cliché as it sounded) it felt so right. It felt right to be in the arms of someone who loved him and wanted to take care of him. It felt right to be loved.

With one well-placed bite to the crook of his neck, Jay muttered, "I'll make you feel better, baby-boy."

And Adam knew that he would.

OOOO

A/N: So, how was it? I love Jeffy so much, it hurts me to do this to him. However, this was my attempt at an angsty love triangle between Jeff/Adam/Jay. I hope it turned out! Please review, it makes me want to write faster! Next chapter, Adam has to come face to face with his choices!
