T hey got to the club and the place was empty. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, but he didn't think that he'd find the place empty. "I thought there might be people here," admitted.

"Well, maybe it doesn't open until later. I'll text my father to find out who's running the club. I'm sure that they have a manager, and all that stuff," Leo said.

"Good idea," said. "I guess we'll have to get in touch with the manager to let him or her know about the change of ownership. I'm wondering how active a roll my father took in the place." The idea of his dad having anything to do with a place like the club made him a bit queasy. The biggest question he had was if his mother knew about this place or not. It was something that he could ask her, but that would be one awkward conversation and one that he wasn't looking forward to having.

Leo used the key with the tacky rabbit's foot keychain to open the door, and he almost wanted to laugh at how cliché it all seemed. "I can feel you laughing at me; even from back there," Leo grumbled.

"Not at all," insisted. "I think it's more that I'm laughing at the fact that our fathers had a key to a sex club on a rabbit's foot keychain. I mean, how cliché is that?" he asked.

"Very, but our fathers are traditionalists," Leo reminded. "You and I know that better than anyone." did know that better than anyone. It's why he had kept his sexuality a secret from his father his whole life. And if he was picking up one Leo's meaning, he had kept the same secret not only from his family but from everyone else in his life.

"Are we going to talk about it then?" asked. He was pushing Leo out of his comfort zone, he knew it, but he really wanted to discuss what had happened between them—that kiss and Leo pushing him away were all that he could think about. The memory of kissing Leo had consumed him and now was the perfect time to talk about it. They were alone in a sex club—he couldn't have come up with a better place to talk about their kiss.

"Talk about what?" Leo asked, playing dumb.

"Oh, come on," shouted. "Are you honestly going to keep on pretending that you and I never kissed?"

"No," Leo spat, "I remember the kiss."

"Well, that's at least a start," grumbled.

"I remember the way that you forced yourself on me and then, when I told you that I wasn't interested in you like that, you threw a fit and left," Leo said. He was poking to get a rise out of him, and hell if he wasn't ready to give Leo just what he wanted.

"First off," said, poking his finger into Leo's sculpted chest, "I didn't throw a fit. And second, I didn't force myself on you. If I remember correctly, you were just as into the kiss as I was. You wrapped your arms around me and if I recall, you put your tongue in my mouth. If you hated it so much, Leo, why did you give me some tongue action?" asked.

"I did not," Leo shouted. "There was no tongue action."

"Oh, honey," chided, "there was tongue action." He noted Leo's breathing grow heavy and if wasn't mistaken, Leo was just as turned on as he currently felt. It was now or never. He might not get another chance with Leo, and he wasn't about to waste his one and only shot at kissing him again.

He took a step closer to Leo, completely invading his personal space. "I think that you liked the kiss as much as I did," pushed. "In fact, I think you want me to kiss you again."

Leo's breathing was labored and when pressed his hand into his chest, Leo's breath hitched. "," he breathed. "Please." He wasn't sure if Leo was begging him to kiss him or to leave him alone. The latter wasn't an option. was already in too deep with Leo. He was all that he could think about every night when he closed his eyes to fall asleep. He consumed 's dreams and he finally had Leo right where he wanted him—in a sex club, all worked up by just talking about the kiss that they shared.

"Please, what?" 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 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," ordered.

Leo let out his pent-up breath and nodded, "I want you to kiss me, ," he admitted.

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 '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 hard, and he knew that the kiss wasn't going to end with Leo denying that he wanted him and storming out of the place. No, this time, they were going to end up naked and was going to take what he wanted from Leo—every last hard inch of him.

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," said. "Tell me that you want me, Leo."

Leo grabbed his hand and led it down to his hard cock, moaning when grabbed it with both hands through his slacks. "You're big too, babe," he whispered. "Tell me you want this, Leo."

"I want this, ," Leo admitted. "I want you."

"Thank fuck," 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." 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?" 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 worried that Leo wasn't ready for everything that he was asking him for.

"You're what?" asked. He stopped looking around the club to wait Leo out. If he wasn't ready, 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?" 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 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," 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 's proposal and when he nodded his agreement, 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."

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, . 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." 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.
