“Please, what?” Ross asked. He wanted to make sure that Leo wasn’t going to freak out on him and go radio silent again. Or worse, lie and tell him that he didn’t want him because Ross could tell by the way that Leo was looking at him that he wanted him more than he wanted his next breath.
“Are you going to fucking kiss me?” Leo almost whispered.
“Tell me that you want me to kiss you, Leo,” Ross ordered.
Leo let out his pent-up breath and nodded, “I want you to kiss me, Ross,” he admitted.
Ross smiled, “There now, that wasn’t so hard, was it?” he asked. He loved the way that he and Leo were the same height. He didn’t have to move at all, just leaned in a bit and when their lips finally met, Leo wrapped his arms around Ross’s waist. This time, there was no question that Leo wanted to kiss him. This time, when Leo’s tongue slipped into his mouth, he knew that he meant every bit of it. The little sighs and moans made Ross hard, and he knew that the kiss wasn’t going to end with Leo denying that he wanted him and Ross storming out of the place. No, this time, they were going to end up naked and Ross was going to take what he wanted from Leo—every last hard inch of him.
Ross led Leo’s hand down to his bulging erection and hissed out his breath when Leo took his invitation and ran his hand up and down his cock through his pants. “You’re big,” Leo breathed.
“Tell me that you’re feeling the same way as I am,” Ross said. “Tell me that you want me, Leo.”
Leo grabbed his hand and led it down to his hard cock, moaning when Ross grabbed it with both hands through his slacks. “You’re big too, babe,” he whispered. “Tell me you want this, Leo.”
“I want this, Ross,” Leo admitted. “I want you.”
“Thank fuck,” Ross growled. He grabbed Leo’s hand and quickly looked around the place, trying to find the closest couch or even bed, that he could use to make Leo his.
“What are you doing?” Leo asked.
“I’m looking for someplace where we can be alone,” he admitted.
“Babe, there is no one here,” Leo said.
“I know, but we don’t know when someone might show up. I’m just looking for a place where we can be alone and then, I’m going to make you mine, Leo.” Ross looked back at and noted the shiver that ran through Leo’s body. He loved knowing that he could make Leo respond to him with just one sentence.
“You like that idea, don’t you?” Ross asked. “You want to belong to me, don’t you?”
“I do,” Leo admitted. “I—I’m just not ready for anyone else to know that I’m—” He stopped short of saying the word, and Ross worried that Leo wasn’t ready for everything that he was asking him for.
“You’re what?” Ross asked. He stopped looking around the club to wait Leo out. If he wasn’t ready, Ross wasn’t going to force him. That wasn’t how he wanted Leo. “This won’t happen if you aren’t completely honest with me, Leo. You’re what?”
“I’m gay,” Leo breathed. “I’m not ready to have the whole world know it. I’m not ready to tell my family. Do you mind keeping us a secret until I’m ready to come out?” he asked.
“What happens if you’re never ready?” Ross asked. “I know how our world works, and I know how scary it is telling our families that we’re gay. I told my mother and sister, but I’m not sure that my father ever knew. I denied who I was to protect my family, but I’m done lying to the world about who I am. I need to know that you’ll be able to admit who you are and not keep me a secret forever, Leo.”
“Are you giving me a deadline?” he asked. Leo looked ready to turn tail and run out of the club, but Ross wasn’t going to let him get away again, not this time.
“I am,” he admitted. “I’ll give you a couple of months to figure this all out, but I won’t keep you a secret forever, babe,” Ross said. “Sooner or later, you’re going to have to tell the world who you are—who we are.”
“Two months,” Leo said. He seemed to be thinking over Ross’s proposal and when he nodded his agreement, Ross let out the breath that he didn’t know that he was holding. “I can promise you that in two months, I’ll be ready to tell my family that I’m gay. I just need to find the courage to do so.”
Ross took Leo’s hand into his and tugged him close. “Maybe I can help you find the courage to come out,” he offered. “I won’t push you to tell the world your secret, but I can’t live in the closet anymore. If that’s where you want to live your life, this won’t work out between the two of us. I can’t go back there again.” He hated living a lie. It always felt as though he was living half a life, not telling the people closest to him that he was gay. Now that his father was gone, there was nothing stopping him from being fully out, and the people who didn’t like it could go straight to hell, as far as he was concerned.
“I can do it,” Leo promised. “I’ll find the courage because I want to be with you, Ross. I’ve denied my feelings for you for too long as it is. I want this,” he assured. Hearing Leo say that he wanted him helped to jump-start his libido all over again. “Come on,” Leo said, smiling at him as he dragged him to the back corner of the club. “There are private rooms for the guests back here.” Ross let Leo lead the way. He was finally going to have everything he wanted from the sexy man pulling his hand to follow him, and there was no backing down now—not that he wanted to.
Leo
Leo knew that agreeing to come out in two months was pushing his agenda, but how could he resist Ross? The short answer was that he couldn’t. He was tired of denying his feelings for Ross. Hell, he was tired of pretending not to like men at all. He had been living a lie now for so many years, that he was ready to come out of the darkness and join Ross in the sunlight. The question was—would he actually be able to do it?
He pulled Ross down the long hallway to the back rooms that he vaguely remembered from his father’s description of the place. He hoped that sooner or later, Ross would want to play in the main room, but doing so now would only go against his own rule of them not telling anyone about the two of them.
“You still with me?” Ross asked.
“I am,” Leo agreed. “Are you still with me?” Leo asked.
Ross pulled him back against his body, backing him to the wall. “I’m definitely with you, babe,” he breathed. Ross kissed him and Leo wasn’t sure if they were actually going to make it to one of the back bedrooms or if they were going to start stripping in the hallway.
