No one else seemed to notice the current flowing between them or the draw that Thane had over him. Everyone in the whole place seemed mesmerized by the show, while Levi remained spellbound by the owner. Levi finally broke the hold and slid his gaze back over the crowd.
Uncertainty nagged at him and anxiety had his foot tapping with impatient energy. He just needed to man up and go after Thane; he’d told himself he would. Nathaniel was a smart guy. He wouldn’t steer him wrong, and to this point, the only thing Levi had done was glare Thane down. So not the thank-you he’d intended to give.
After a second more, Levi placed his tray on the side of the bar and motioned for Chase. “Can you watch my section?”
“Yeah. You taking a break?” Chase yelled over the music.
“I won’t be gone long.”
Chase nodded, and Levi started toward Thane who was no longer there. He panicked, immediately scanning the bar. Had he missed his opportunity? The guy had been at the other end of the bar all night long.
Suddenly, a strong arm locked around his waist, and Levi twisted in alarm, coming chest to chest with Thane. Before he could say anything, he was drawn behind the dark curtain.
“Here,” Thane said. A warm breath ghosted across Levi’s cheek. Two small packages were placed in his palm. Thane used his fingers to close Levi’s fist over the small foil squares. The spike of adrenaline coursing through his veins had his heart racing excitedly. Although it was dark behind the curtain, it wasn’t rocket science. Thane had handed him a condom and lube packet, and his dick twitched with eagerness. Just being near Thane made him instantly hard; something that was difficult as hell to hide with the uniform he wore.
Thane’s scent surrounded him, made him crazy with unbridled need. He couldn’t think, not with all of his blood rushing from his brain. He should be angry, mad at the audacity of the man holding him in his arms. But he wasn’t, none of that mattered at the moment. Especially not when the firmness of Thane’s arousal pressed readily against his own. Suddenly he was up for anything Thane had in mind, but he also remembered the club rules.
“Not here,” Levi hissed, pulling back from the kiss he was certain Thane was seconds from planting on his lips. “I’ll get fired.”
Thane’s immediate laugh sent a sweet puff of cinnamon breath dancing across Levi’s face. “I know the owner. You aren’t going anywhere.”
Even with that declaration, Levi still tried to pull away, which was a hard thing to do. He’d spent the last several hours planning to catch Thane alone and thank him, but in none of his strategizing had he considered sex inside the nightclub. He’d envisioned doing Thane in the parking lot when he got off work or maybe even in the bathroom of the closed restaurant. He couldn’t afford to lose his job; he had to be stronger than this.
“There’s no sex in the club, Thane. Your rule.”
Another laugh floated between them, barely audible over the song now playing in the club. “You think anyone follows that rule?” Thane’s fingers slid deeply inside Levi’s underwear, fondling his erection. He grew painfully harder, his hips involuntary rolling into Thane’s skillful touch. God, yes, he craved Thane’s attention and loved it when that focus centered only on him. He closed his eyes and let Thane do as he pleased, not even bothering to open his eyes as Thane shoved the thin strip of material down and freed him from his tight briefs, then firmly but gently cupped his balls, rolling them in the palm of his hand before fisting his cock again.
“I want this in me,” Thane growled huskily against his ear.
Levi’s eyes opened when the condom was plucked from his hand. Thane fumbled with the package, stealing his breath when he expertly rolled the condom down Levi’s aching cock. Thane’s hands felt so good squeezing him, playing with him. One of Thane’s hands slid up his side, his arm locking firmly around his back, holding him in place when he started to take a step back.
“Fuck me, Levi. I can’t think of anything else but you taking me hard and fast like before.”
When Thane unbuckled his slacks and let them fall to the floor, Levi’s hesitation vanished. Thane reached out and once again wrapped those long sure fingers around Levi’s leaking cock and started stroking him. Overwhelming desire swamped his body. God, he wanted Thane, wanted him so badly that nothing else mattered. Without a second thought, he shoved Thane roughly against the wall, capturing the surprised sound that escaped Thane’s mouth with his own as he used his body to pin Thane in place and dominate him.
Memories of their first night together flooded his thoughts; it was a heady feeling to have Thane submit so quickly. He loved the control Thane turned over to him so willingly. There were so many things he craved with Thane, but nothing sent a rush coursing through his veins faster than when Thane squirmed against him, taunting him with each calculated movement of his body. His hands drifted to the bottom of Thane’s shirt, and he worked quickly to push the buttons through their holes.
