The dinner conversation flowed freely between the guests with only a slight tension between Daphne and Brian remaining after they polished off the third bottle of wine. Brian didn't say much preferring to study the dynamics of the table at play. Daphne and Fiona appeared to have no shortage of topical local events to bring up when the conversation settled into a natural lull. Fi was the lifestyle section editor for the local paper and used Daphne for pictures on a regular basis. Liam was very knowledgeable about the local art scene and chatted excitedly about the upcoming First Friday event he was participating in. Josh regularly chimed in to brag about his boyfriend's talent and the two bantered back and forth in a comfortable sparring that demonstrated their considerable affection for each other. Brian felt most comfortable talking to Marcus, which was odd since he was the lone straight man at the table, but he was closer to Brian's age and didn't care about pop culture all that much, preferring to ask Brian about his work rather than if he preferred Lady Gaga to Katy Perry.

"So you really own your own company?" Marcus asked Brian after he told him he was an ad man who started his own agency, "That's impressive."

"Thanks" Brian replied looking up at Justin to see if he was equally impressed.

"Kinnetik?" Josh asked excitedly.

"Yeah" Brian replied surprised that Josh had guessed the name of his company since he wasn't in the business, "How'd you know that?"

"That's where I know you. Your company donated generously to the Children's Hospital, the new cancer wing. My parents are on the board. I must have seen you at the fundraisers."

"Oh wow, I worked there as part of my oncology fellowship", Marcus chimed in, "It's a great facility."

Brian looked at the faces around the table and felt an unusual flush of modesty. In all honesty, he had made the donation at Ted's insistence. He insisted they had to up their charitable giving to reduce their tax burden. He had chosen the Children's Hospital at Lindsay's suggestion and the oncology wing was just their biggest need at the time. He couldn't recall going to the fundraisers except when publicity needs called for it and, of course, to present the big check. Brian waved off the accolades with a vague comment about tax liability since he was loath to give Justin a false impression of his true nature.

Justin had trouble staying upright at the latest revelation into Mr. Brian Kinney. He felt like he was melting into a puddle of gooey love sickness. Not only was Brian sexy and successful but he was modest, a doting father and a philanthropist to boot. No matter how much Justin might have told himself this was meant to be a passionate affair devoid of meaning, a way to scratch his considerable itch, there was no denying he was falling hard for his enigma of a neighbor. He gave Daphne a look with such dreamy eyes he completely conveyed to her his utter infatuation with man she had been tormenting. The exchange, while silent and unnoticed by the rest of the table, was more than enough to melt Daphne's heart and help her decide to place her hostility towards Brian on hold to see how things played out.

"Brian, you should come with us to Justin's show next week. It's Friday at the Gallery on Third" Daphne said with a genuine smile to a stunned reception of the group.

"I would love to see Justin's work" Brian replied with a wide smile, "That is if Justin is agreeable".

Justin nodded enthusiastically, "It's just a few pieces but I would love for you to see them. Maybe we can get some dinner afterwards?" He added as an afterthought.

Brian bit his lower lip and cringed a little. Seeing his show was one thing, Brian was always happy to celebrate a well-deserved accomplishment. But the dinner invitation was definitely a date. Justin was already giving him strong signals that he wanted more than a casual fuck buddy type of relationship and agreeing to dinner would just send the wrong message.

Brian back pedaled not-so-subtly, "Not sure if I can do dinner. I usually have plans Friday night but I will try and stop by the show after work…if I have time."

Justin's face fell from the sting of the rejection and his own stupidity of asking Brian out in front of a group. Why couldn't he had just suggested dinner at the show, it would have been less threatening to Brian who already told him he didn't date.

The dinner continued but after a few minutes of awkward paused discussion Justin stood up to clear the dishes, needing to get away from the table for a few minutes to get a grip. Brian grabbed some dishes and followed Justin into the kitchen sensing the shift in Justin's mood. They worked silently loading the dishwasher and putting food away. As much as Brian wanted to deny it his entire body was aware of Justin's proximity of his height, his smell, his body heat. They reached for the same dish and their hands closed around in tandem; heat burst in Brian's stomach rocketing awareness of his lust to all points south. Good grief, he thought, I need to get a fucking grip. Both of them avoiding the obvious sexual tension built up, the made quick work of the cleaning duties.

"So did you still want to go dancing?" Brian asked, placing a hand on the counter to avoid touching Justin again.

"Sure" Justin nodded surprised Brian still wanted to go. "I need to change" he added as he went to leave the kitchen. Brian reached out without thinking and wrapped his arm around Justin's thin waist.

Justin paused letting Brian's hand settle on his hip and feeling the electricity shoot from his fingertips up his spine. Both men just stared letting their brains catch up to their bodies, eyes locked in lustful longing. Brian didn't like the awkwardness that had grown between them after their dinner conversation and felt the needed to clear the air but before he could speak, he needed just one kiss. One taste. He tilted his head slightly and ran his hand around to Justin's back, feeling the small indent above the curve of his ass. He ran the hand up slowly, purposefully, until it settled on the nape of his neck. Brian descended the few inches to meet the level of Justin's lips with his own slowly, cautiously, giving Justin every opportunity to pull back or lean in. Justin held his breath at the endless wait for Brian to meet him where he was, waiting for Brian to claim him. With just inches left to go, Brian pulled Justin's neck towards him and crashed their lips together for the first time. Justin could taste the wine on his tongue and the faint aroma of garlic and basil from the marina sauce from his hot breath. He pushed into Brian's body, pressing his considerable hardness into Brian without concern. Yes, Now, Want, Need running through Justin's mind as he lost all awareness of where he was. Brian pulled Justin impossibly close, pressing their chest and abdomens together. The world faded away, replaced by a warming sensation that filled him. He lived inside that long, intense kiss, wanting more. He felt Justin's erection pressed into his pelvis and his entire body shuttered. Justin kissed him like he needed him to breathe, desperate for their connection. The intensity was too much and shook Brian to his core. Justin whimpered as Brian pulled away.

"Oh damn" Justin moaned once he found enough air to breathe again. "I hope you fuck like you kiss" Justin whispered as he tried to reconnect his lips to Brian.

Brian took a moment to shore up his guard that Justin has so easily snuck around. What the hell was he doing? Brian stiffed up his shoulders and ran his hands through his hair like nothing had happened.

"Hey" Justin whispered, "What are you thinking?" he asked softly seeing the change in Brian's demeanor.

"I'm thinking you are the boyfriend type and I don't want there to be a misunderstanding about what this is." Brian spoke with an unfeeling hardness to his voice.

"And what is this Brian? You had to feel something with that kiss. I know you want me." Justin added.

"It's not a matter of wanting you. I'd fuck you right here but you live in my building and I don't want you to think this is more complicated than what it is."

"Complicated?" Justin questioned. "I'm not a child. I know what this is."

"You are far from a child from what I felt pushing against me Justin. I'm sure you will be a fantastic lover or partner or whatever…for someone. But this, you and me, this is sex and sex only. I don't do romance. I don't do dates and I don't do boyfriends."

Justin felt sick to his stomach but even knowing how Brian felt he couldn't deny the heat between them and how much he wanted him. "I know, you told me." he answered trying to keep a strong voice, "Let's go dance. I want to go dancing."

Justin waited out the last of his dinner guests to leave before changing his clothes and meeting Brian at his place. "Should we cab it? We've both been drinking." Justin asked from the door as Brian turned in to grab his wallet.

"Yeah. I already called." Brian replied, "Is Babylon okay?"

"I guess. I've never been there." Justin smiled as he spoke, "Your choice"

Justin held his hand to Brian's back as they walked, holding his posture as he always did with Eric, protective and loving. It felt natural to Justin but Brian seemed off-put by the guiding touch. He side-stepped away from Justin as the entered the elevator and Justin dropped his arm to his side before putting his hand in his pocket.

They shared a silent cab ride leaving Brian time to stew over their earlier kiss and wonder exactly what being inside him would feel like. Justin scooted closer to him and rested his hand on the upper part of Brian's thigh and nudged his shoulder so he was relaxing into his side. He let Justin body settle against him, just resting there for a minute before making eye contact with Justin's bright blue eyes.

"What are you doing?" Brian asked unaccustomed to being the recipient of such an intimate touch and the comfortable ease in which Justin snuggled against him.

"Does it bother you that I'm touching you?" Justin smiled mischievously running his hand over Brian's thigh squeezing slightly.

Before Brian could answer, the cab pulled up to the entrance of Babylon and Justin pulled a twenty out for the fifteen dollar fare and scooted out of the cab. He turned offering his hand to Brian to help pull him out. Brian placed his hand on the door frame and gave Justin a confused expression. "I can get out of a car on my own" he explained.

"Sorry, just trying to be nice" Justin shrugged, "wow, looks like a popular place" Justin said as he gestured to the long line of men waiting to get inside.

Brian laughed mockingly, "It's okay. I know the owner. Follow me."

Brian walked past the line into the club giving a nod to the bouncer who was working the front door. Justin marveled at the sweat slicked, half-dressed bodies who appeared to part for Brian allowing them to maneuver easily through the packed dance floor to the bar.

"What are you drinking?" Brian shouted to Justin over the music.

"Whatever you're having" Justin replied with a wide smile.

Brian held up two fingers to the bartender who left a crowd of men to pour two generous Jim Beams. Brian took the drinks and handed one to Justin.

"You drink free?" he asked confused since no money was exchanged.

Brian nodded with a grin and swallowed his drink in one swig. Justin followed suit letting a little dribble from the corner of his mouth when the shot proved to be too much for one drink. He blushed slightly embarrassed as he wiped away the spilled liquid with the back of his hand. "Let's dance" Justin suggested knowing he would redeem himself on the dance floor.

Brian led them out to the floor and pulled Justin tight against him. Justin felt the beat of the music and moved against Brian in a sensual rhythm for several songs enjoying the freedom the dancing gave him to run his hand over Brian's body. Brian's muscles were aching from the dancing and he was ready for a break. Justin tilted his head to kiss Brian only to find him looking intently down at him. "I needed this" Justin said meaning the dancing, "It's been a long time"

"Really?" Brian said as he ran his hand over Justin's ass and pulled him hard against him so their semi-hard cocks brushed together under their jeans. "Any other needs I can satisfy for you?" he asked stroking his hair.

Justin's eyes darkened and filled with lust at the offer. Brian yanked Justin towards the backroom intent on ending this extended flirtation. Justin let himself be pulled thinking they were getting another round. As Brian bypassed the bar, Justin grew concerned. He had heard of the backroom before but never ventured into one. He was admittedly aroused by the thought of public sex but worried the idea of it might be more enticing than the reality. He pulled back on Brian's hand to slow them down. "Let's get a drink" Justin said nodding to the bar.

"Seriously?" Brian asked but he allowed Justin to steer them back to the bar.

Brian watched as Justin sipped his drink painfully slow and grew concerned. "I'm not into being teased Sunshine" he whispered.

"Sorry, I'm not trying to be a tease. I've never actually done this sort of thing before. I'm just kind of nervous." Justin confessed leaning into his ear, kissing along his neck and biting his earlobe gently to convey he was still very much interested.

Brian pulled back to study Justin's face. "You mean you have never done it with an audience, right? You'll love it."

"Yeah, that" Justin smiled nervously. "Do you think we can go back to your place?"

"When's the last time you participated in pure hedonistic fun?" Brian urged, knowing that fucking Justin in the backroom would be a lot less intimate than in his loft. He was still wary of Justin's expectations of a relationship.

Justin laughed, "Never" he confessed again. "I sort of came out and immediately had a boyfriend. We just broke up; so this is all new to me."

"You mean you've never had meaningless, unattached sex before?" Brian asked.

Justin shook his head no and the alarm bells went off in Brian's head. "Let's go. I'm taking you home."

"Good!" Justin laughed.

"Not to my home…to yours." Brian clarified when he was safely in the cab, "I also don't do virgins. They get too attached."

"Brian, I'm not a virgin and I'm not looking for you to be my one and only. Maybe pure hedonistic fun is exactly what I need." Justin said with such confidence Brian almost believed him. The truth was Justin believed in falling in love and he believed in monogamous relationships. He also knew since the kiss they shared he would have to turn his heart off with Brian so he wouldn't get attached.

"So what's next?" Justin asked as they climbed out of the cab and stood at the elevator. His erection had died a slow death over the course of the conversation, but it wouldn't take much to get it back.

"If you're sure you want this…," Brian spoke as he leaned into Justin and kissed a trail along his jaw to his ear, "…then I would be happy to instruct you in all manners of hedonistic fun."

Justin leaned over Brian and pushed six on the panel while pulling Brian into him roughly so he was pinned against the wall under his weight. He wanted to have sex with Brian more than almost anything. He was sick of being inexperienced, of hearing how amazing it was to have someone inside of you and not knowing for himself.

As Brian opened up his door he hesitated only briefly. What is the worst that could happen, so Justin got a little attached? Having his friends all living their lives, settling down, Brian did sometimes consider trying out a relationship of his own. Not a rings-and-vows type of relationship where his heart was involved but something more than a fuck buddy wouldn't be the worst thing.

Justin watched as Brian went to the kitchen and took out a bottle of water, offering him one as well. He took the water and looked around the large, open loft.

"It's not what I expected" Justin commented as he noticed the single bedroom and bathroom raised in the center of the otherwise open space. Justin took a seat on the couch as he waited for Brian to join him. Brian sat down next to Justin and rested his hand on his thigh. Justin's smile was tight with nerves. Brian's face revealed a flicker of new concern that Justin might call the whole thing off.

"Cool place" Justin finally said to break the ice again, which was kind of lame but true.

"Do you want something more than water to drink?" Brian asked.

"Whatever you're having is fine" Justin said as Brian poured them two Bourbons and handed one to him.

"Can I ask you something?" Brian said tentatively tossing back his drink.

"Go ahead"

"Why do you want to do this?" Brian asked, "You could probably find a boyfriend if you wanted to."

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" Justin asked casually.

Brian shook his head and waited for Justin to continue.

"Well things were great with Eric at first. Really hot and I was crazy about him. I could not get enough of his ass. Then it just wasn't anymore. Nothing changed, he was the same guy; I was the same guy but we had some issues in bed and I started to feel like I was missing out. I just want to be able to fuck and suck and have fun without having to meet anyone's parents or argue over not spending enough time together."

Brian laughed dismissively, "Justin you could have practically anything you want, anytime you want. Hell just use Grindr and they will come to you."

"You probably don't want to know this but there are some things I want that I don't really want to do with a stranger."

"Oh?" Brian asked, "And what's that?"

Justin blushed but at this point, he thought he would lay it all on the line. "I've never bottomed for one, or been rimmed. Eric wasn't versatile or adventurous really."

"Giving a rim job to your boyfriend is not adventurous." Brian corrected.

"Anything else?" Brian asked becoming aroused at Justin's admission.

Justin placed his hands over his face to cover his reddened cheeks. Brian was intrigued but also painfully aroused at the thought of being Justin's first top. He pulled down Justin's hand until they were free of his eyes, "Don't tell me now. It will be more fun when you beg me for it later."

"You want to go to the bedroom?" Brian asked in such a flirty way that it sent a bolt to Justin's groin, reminding him exactly why he had come. He drained his drink in one long pull, the put the glass down.

"Definitely"

Justin took in the details of Brian's bedroom. It was sparse and sophisticated and didn't really reveal much about Brian's life. The room was clean without a speck of dust anywhere and the bed made. Justin turned and found Brian standing very close behind him, his hazel eyes intent.

Without pretext, Brian attacked Justin's mouth, and Justin took what he gave. Their bodies pressed together both semi-hard erections pushing against each other only fueling their lust. Hands pulled at Justin's shirt and arms and pressed at his hips. Brian drank in the sweetness of Justin's mouth, opening his own in an invitation for further exploration. They were both fully hard and panting by the time they broke the kiss.

"Can I suck you off?" Justin asked.

Brian cracked a smile, "Hell yes" he said as he unbuttoned his jeans.

Justin sank straight to his knees and pulled Brian's jeans down to the floor. Brian kicked out of his jeans, and then yanked off his shirt. Justin studied Brian's naked body memorizing the image, and the absolute intensity of the moment sent a surge of arousal through him.

Brian threaded his fingers in the blond hair, feeling the softness against his skin, in what he hoped was an encouraging touch. Justin pressed up against Brian's touch as he placed teasing laps of his tongue over the tip of Brian's cock as if it were a lollipop. Brian's hand tightened in Justin's hair and he had to force his fingers to relax.

Justin screwed his lips around the Brian's length and took in what he could, working his tongue on the underside. He soon settled into a rhythm with his mouth and hand that had Brian moaning in pleasure. Brian let himself be noisy, when he was normally quiet because he wanted Justin to know it felt good, it felt great in fact.

Justin licked and sucked and stroked Brian until his thighs trembled. Brian had both hands in Justin's hair, and watched his cock sliding between perfect red lips.

"God I want to fuck your mouth" Brian murmured.

Justin pulled off, "Do it" he said. His words were almost a challenge.

Brian held Justin's head and thrust his hips into the amazing heat until his climax was eminent. "Close" he called as Justin gagged slightly and swallowed around him. The back of his throat contracted, milking him in the most amazing way.

Justin shot Brian a look letting him know not to stop, the renewed fervor he brought to his task was all the permission Brian needed. Justin brought Brian to the back of his throat and gagged again sending a vibration up Brian's spine. Brian managed an incoherent garble of noises and then pleasure blasted through him as he came. Brian swayed a little on his feet as the last remnants of his orgasm flitted away. He pulled Justin up and kissed him hard, tasting himself in the kiss. Justin's erection pressed into his thigh and Brian couldn't wait to taste him as well.

"That was fucking awesome" Brian said only to be rewarded with a huge smile. "Take your clothes off and get into bed."

The dirtiness of Brian's words and the perfection of his authoritative tone sent a jolt straight to Justin's dick. He did as he was told, scooting his ass to the center of the bed, spreading his legs as Eric used to do for him when he really wanted it.

Brian climbed in and knelt between Justin's legs. "You want me to fuck you?" Brian asked, "You want to have my cock buried in your ass, don't you?"

Justin licked his lips at the question and just lay back as an answer.

Brian loomed over him and lowered himself until he was settled on top of him, chest to chest. He kissed him in a long, sensual kiss. Justin stroked Brian's back and brought his legs up to cradle his hips. Justin's erection rubbed against Brian's stomach with just enough friction to keep him hard but not enough to send him over the edge.

Brian kissed his way down Justin's throat, leaving his skin aching for more contact. Brian worked his nipples using just a slight tug with his teeth to bring the nubs a jolt of pain that quickly subsided into a pleasurable sensitivity.

"Roll over" Brian ordered.

Justin's nerves heightened but he quickly complied as Brian arranged a pillow under his hips, which pushed his ass into the air. He nearly strained his neck trying to look behind him and he almost objected since Brian hadn't readied any supplies. Justin's erection was trapped between the pillow and his belly demanding friction. Brian hovered over Justin, taking in the beauty of the slender body beneath him and the delicious round globes of Justin's ass. He slowly began kissing a trail down Justin's spine, holding Justin's arms pinned to the bed below. Brian paused just at the small indent above Justin's ass. Justin struggled under the weight of Brian's pressure until Brian released his arms and pulled his cheeks apart in one motion. Before Justin could think, he felt the wetness of Brian's tongue flick at his hole. Another flick, then Brian was working his opening into a dilated, pulsing state. He stabbed at the tight muscle with his tongue with such vigor, Justin was incoherent. He couldn't keep up with the sensations or emotions. Brian was rimming him and he pushed back against Brian's mouth, wanting more until he felt himself open and Brian's tongue wiggled its way into his ass.

"Holy fuck" Justin cried, grasping at the sheets with his fists in vain, "Oh God"

While Justin was writhing under him, Brian introduced one finger, then another, into Justin's greedy hole. Justin pushed back as the fingers slipped inside him, working him, over and over. Justin was so close, his climax dangled just out of reach and he could have let himself go but that wasn't what he wanted.

"Stop" he gasped "I don't want to come until you're inside me"

Brian stopped his motion and pulled his fingers clear slowly and motioned for Justin to flip over.

Brian stroked his hand over Justin's cock to remind him of how close he was until Justin grabbed his wrist and stilled his hand. "What do you want Justin. Tell me?"

Justin didn't hesitate, "Fuck me" he begged.

"Do you want to ride me so you have more control?" Brian asked as he removed a condom and lube from his bedside table.

"No, I don't want control" Justin said, "Like this" as he climbed onto his hands and knees and wiggled his ass a little for show.

A warm hand stroked down his back, waking up the nerve endings and making his skin feel tingles. Hands stroked up and down his sides, and a kiss landed on his back between his shoulder blades. Then blunt pressure at his ass made his gasp. He forced himself to relax, to stay calm and enjoy the sensation of being filled. Despite having fucked himself on toys as large as Brian, Justin gasped at the sting and the stretch. Brian pulled out slightly and worked his way back in. Sliding in and out each time pushing himself a little deeper. The pain settled into a light burn and Justin dropped his head down to the bed which changed the angle enough that Brian brushed over his pleasure center with every thrust.

Justin stopped trying to quiet the noises Brian was eliciting from his throat. He let go, allowing his body to move back, demanding more. Taking everything. "Yes, God, Fuck me" Justin moaned. "Harder" he begged.

Brian had held back given Justin's inexperience but hearing his cries, let loose. He reached around to Justin's cock and squeezed as Justin fucked forward into it. They moved in a perfect synchronicity until his hand was coated with Justin's cream. He fucked him right through his orgasm almost to the brink of pain until Brian couldn't hold back any longer.

Justin heard the sound of latex snapping, and then a loud grunt as warm semen splattered onto his back. Brian collapsed on the bed next to him, covered in sweat and breathing hard. Justin gave Brian a satisfied smile although he was acutely aware of the blissful ache filling both his ass and his heart.
