“Yeah, we can definitely tell them.”
They were still grinning at each other.
“Oh my God, are you ever going to fucking kiss each other, or what?” said a girl with purple hair. “Come on, guys, surely that’s how this movie ends?”
A few chuckles greeted her words, plus a few whoops of encouragement and a shout of “Yeah, come on!”
They both moved at the same time, closing the gap until they met in an awkward mash of lips. Definitely not a kiss worthy of the big screen, but no less perfect for that. Jude felt Shawn’s smile against his own, and then they finally managed to line their mouths up properly. The kiss got a little deeper and more serious, while the people surrounding them clapped and cheered.
Finally they pulled apart.
Shawn, flushed, looked sheepishly around at their audience. “Right, um, I think we’ll leave you in peace.”
“Congrats, guys.” The purple-haired girl gave them a thumbs up. “That was beautiful.”
Chatter started up around them again as Jude took Shawn’s hand. “Where do you wanna go? Home?” The idea of getting Shawn into his bed again was very appealing.
Shawn shook his head. “No, not yet.” He sounded determined. “I want to dance with you.”
“Yeah?” That idea had possibilities too. “Jez and Mac are out there, remember. Are you ready for this?”
“Yes,” Shawn said with no hesitation. “What better way to come out to them?” He leaned in close and said quietly, for Jude’s ears only. “I want to go out there and show everyone that I’m yours.”
Heat flashed through Jude. He licked his lips and squeezed Shawn’s hand. “Fuck yes. Let’s do it.”
A wave of warmth and sound engulfed them as they went back through the doors to the dance floor. Shawn kept hold of Jude’s hand as Jude led the way through the crowds. Mac was easy to spot, his head that little bit higher than most of the others. Jude moved towards him, a heady mixture of possessiveness and happiness swirling inside him.
They claimed a little space in the throng of dancing people. Jude started moving to the beat and tugged Shawn in close, his hands on his waist. Shawn was a decent dancer, not enough movement in his hips at first, but he loosened up quickly as Jude guided him, straddling one of Shawn’s thighs and grinding up against him. Jude let his hands wander, stroking Shawn’s chest and shoulders. Shawn brought his hands down to grab Jude’s arse and tugged him closer still. Jude felt the hardness of Shawn’s erection, then warm breath on his neck. That turned into soft lips moving in a ticklish trail up his jaw until at last their mouths locked in a passionate, lingering kiss.
Everything was heat and sweat and euphoria laced with the constant building pulse of arousal. Jude wondered how long it would take the others to notice who he was dancing with.
Mine, mine, mine—the word echoed through him with every beat of the music. The need to take Shawn home and show him all the other ways he belonged to Jude was growing every minute.
Jude broke away from the kiss reluctantly and put a little space between them, his hands still around Shawn’s neck. Shawn’s pupils were huge, lips wet in the flashing club lights. He blinked, looking dazed, and reached down to adjust his dick before putting his hands back on Jude’s hips.
Jude had the same problem himself; if they hadn’t stopped when they did, he’d be getting into blue-balls territory. He glanced around to see where their mates were.
Sid and Leon danced wrapped around each other. Awesome. He didn’t need to feel guilty for blowing Sid off now that it looked like he was in for a good night. Jez and Mac were a little farther away, also lost in each other and oblivious to anyone else.
Fuck’s sake. It was typical that Jez, who was normally very observant and way too damn nosey, would be failing to pay attention when Jude actually wanted him to see something.
Just then, Mac lifted his head from where he’d been sucking on Jez’s neck, and he caught sight of Jude. His gaze flickered from Jude to Shawn. His brow drew down and his eyes narrowed. He glanced at Jude again, then back to Shawn, as if he couldn’t believe what his eyes were showing him.
Jude grinned and waved, at which point Shawn turned his head so Mac could see him face-on.
“Fuck!” Mac gaped.
Jude didn’t need any lip-reading skills to interpret that reaction.
Jez turned around to see what the fuss was about and his jaw dropped in cartoon slow motion.
Shawn laughed. “I think we just blew Jez’s mind.”
“I dunno. Let’s make sure.” Jude tugged him closer again, just so they wouldn’t be in any doubt at all about what was going on here. He took Shawn’s face in his hands and pulled him in for another kiss.
