Really sorry about the grammer still looking for a beta.
(Noble POV) He had to be hallucinating Jamie had just perjured himself, his heart soared. Maybe his absolute loyalty to this boy, this cop wasn't as insane as he first thought. Finding out Jamie was a cop had been a simple matter, he was not as foolish as most people assumed. People had loose lips when they assumed those around them were not coherent enough to take notice. This fact alone made him the number one intelligence officer in the family. A fact seldom Paulie Sanfino allowed his underlings to forget. He was cunning, ambitous, ruthless and devious. A heir apparent to be proud of.
That's why when Jamie waltzed into the bar that night he refused to explain his actions. Immediately falling into his character and befriending the younger man. Just his luck that his regular dealer sold him a crooked batch of coke, Jamie had even tried to suggest that he press charges. His nievete had screamed cop. It was obvious the rookie was looking for and picking up dealers. The decision to further persue his investigation had been made to continue the following day. Even before the discharge forms were ready to sign.
It had been a real test of his cunning and guile keeping Jamie alive, there had been some close calls early on. Johnny Tesla being the worst one in memory, snide remarks and cheap shots being his go to method of irritation. While the beating he received afew weeks later made Nobles blood boil. Granted Jamie stealing the client list helped him achieve a good outcome, Johnny dead. But still hurting Jamie had been the final nail in his coffin. Most were wary of speaking out against him due to his connection to the mafia prince. But even the truly suicidal amoung the New York underworld wised up, Noble and his inner circle were untouchable.
So he planned and waited for a opportunity, which arrived seven days after his release amid a media shit storm. Now here he stood after setting his carefully laid plans ablaze. He had planned to chip away at his resolve, plant seeds of mistrust. Generally convince Jamie to stand with him. A slow seduction that would have turned his moral compass without him even realising.
But no, he had decided in the moment to kiss Jamie instead.
At first both men froze with the realisation of what was happening. Then as Noble turned to run and hide, Jamie forced him against the opposite wall in the narrow passage they were occupying, at first he expected violence but he was so wrong. After staring intently at him Jamie's mouth descended on his. After staring intently at him Jamie's mouth descended on his, He was rough and demanding. Long fingers weaved through his hair gripping on tightly, taking away the possibility of running before it even crossed his mind.
His lip parted slightly and Jamie took the opportunity to plunder his mouth, mapping out each crevice as if committing it to memory. Noble had always thought ahead, so through his lust filled haze he managed to break the kiss. Jamies whimper at the loss of contact was almost his undoing.
But a question had to be asked, "why did you kiss me?" Noble carefully observed his friends reaction for even a shadow of deceit, he found none.
"I told you before, I know what happens to me. So if this is the last time I see you I'm not holding back." His eyes were downcast almost apologetic.
Noble grinned and caressed his best friends cheek. He brought his mouth to his ear and spoke "you are not gonna die, as long as I'm alive I'll do my best to protect you. Now my guards are going to take you home. There's only one number programmed in this phone, if you need me call". He palmed him the phone and gestured to his guards and walked away, truly afraid that the other man wood see sense and run a mile.
Well that's it, any and all comments welcome. Feel free to mock the slash. Though any advice on how to improve appreciated.
