Six

I was so focused on getting the men to do this…" Axel sat on the edge of the stage. "I forgot how nervous I was."

"No kidding," Kane mumbled, pacing anxiously over the floor. "To be honest? I'm terrified of getting up on that stage. If the guys hadn't just agreed to do it, I'd be out of here." He laughed nervously.

Axel smiled. "I kind of feel the same. But then again…" He hopped off the stage. "… I think it might be fun, too. I admit, I've done a strip tease or two for Clint in the bedroom." He shrugged and laughed softly, a little embarrassed to be saying it out loud to someone other than the cowboy. "Nothing exotic. But it was fun. And Clint sure liked it."

"I've never done anything like that," Kane admitted. "I'm pretty sure I'll look like a fool on that stage."

"No way. I mean, I've seen these guys perform on stage. It's kind of like having sex while standing up." He chuckled. "At least, that's what it looks like to me. And I know you and Kane perform great in the bedroom, am I right?"

"Well… yeah." Kane smiled and nodded. "That's one place we've never been awkward , even before we started talking to each other."

"Exactly. Your bodies are in tune. This kind of dancing will come naturally for you, I think."

Both men went silent when music began to play, and Ricky and Levi emerged onstage through the rear curtains. Ricky gestured to them to come onstage. Axel climbed up and, after a brief hesitation, Kane followed.

"Your men will be out in a moment," Ricky said. "So, we need to get you ready for them."

"Ready…?" Kane asked uncertainly.

Levi sidled up to Kane and plucked at the front of his shirt. "Get you out of your… confines," he cooed and popped loose a couple of buttons. "You need freedom to move."

Kane shot Axel a nervous glance as Levi continued to unfasten the buttons. Axel shrugged and cast him a ‘just go with it' smile.

"You cowboy is fucking hot," Ricky whispered with a soft moan, separating Axel from his shirt. "When I was on my knees before him—"

"On your knees?"

"It was all quite… innocent." Ricky squinted impishly. "I was taking off his pants."

Axel shook his head. "Uh…huh. Sounds so innocent."

"No worries," Ricky breathed sexily and trailed his fingertips down Axel's stomach, snagging the front of his jeans. "No naughtiness took place." He bit his lower lip, eyes radiating lust. "His choice, not mine." Ricky nuzzled his ear as he popped open Axel's jeans and slid the zipper down. "If you two are ever up for some group fun…" He nipped Axel's earlobe. "… don't hesitate to give us a call."

"Um…" Axel cleared his throat, a nervous laugh escaping him. "That… that probably won't happen. Nothing against you guys."

"No offense taken," Ricky murmured and sank to his knees, pulling down Axel's jeans, settling eye level with his crotch. "Mmm. Me thinks the cowboy is a lucky guy, too."

Axel's pulse kicked up a little as Ricky took his time removing his pants, his hot breath puffing against his thighs, his mouth nearly grazing his full package. Axel was ready to push him away if he went for a taste , regardless of the fact he was growing hard. The stimulation wasn't so much a result of Ricky's sensual touch, but the anticipation of getting up close and dirty with Clint on stage. As nervous as he was, Axel wanted it badly. He'd fantasized about it. The notion of that fantasy coming true just never seemed like a possibility.

Until tonight.

Ricky didn't miss the swelling in Axel's jockey shorts. The lust in his eyes glowed brighter and he licked saliva from his lips. But he didn't go in for a taste. Ricky stood after fully removing his jeans, caressing his hands up Axel's body. He circled Axel, getting the full view of his exposed ass, then leaned close from behind, lips grazing Axel's ear. "When I fuck Levi later," he whispered hotly, "I'll be thinking of this ass." He lightly nipped Axel's lower lip. "I hope you don't mind."

"I, uh…" Axel swallowed hard and rasped, "I guess… you can think about… whatever you want."

" Mmm…" Ricky released a long, sultry sigh and drew back. He looked at Levi, who had Kane stripped down to his snug briefs. "He's as yummy as his lover."

Axel had to agree. He'd never actually seen Kane stripped so bare. He was a sculpted god.

Damn.
