Nathan quickly showered and headed over to Justin’s apartment. He stood outside the building, waiting while he figured out what he was going to say to his best friend. He kept fidgeting with his keys until he finally stuffed them in his pocket. Taking a deep breath, he entered the apartment building and slowly walked up the stairs, contemplating what would await him.
When he entered Justin’s apartment, he saw his friend sprawled out on the couch, continuously flipping through the channels. Nothing stayed on for more than a few seconds. He cleared his throat, hoping to get Justin’s attention.
Justin glanced over at his friend, a blank expression on his face. “Yeah,” he said with a bored tone in his voice.
“Well…” Nathan waited for more.
“Well, what?” Justin spoke slowly.
Nathan walked over to his friend, blocking the television from his view, and snatched the remote from him. He turned the TV off and threw the remote on the coffee table. “Did you enjoy it?”
“Did I enjoy what?” Justin asked as he sat up straight.
“Your little performance,” Nathan said as he folded his arms and crooked his eyebrow. “I mean, I always knew you were a drama princess, but hell, this was above and beyond.” He scoffed as he looked at his friend expectantly.
“And you were expecting something less? I mean really, Nathan, given the situation, would you expect any less? You know me.”
“Yeah, I do,” Nathan agreed as he sat down on the coffee table in front of Justin. “But I still think it was a bit over the top.”
“Over the top? You thought it was over the top?” Justin asked as he leaned forward and looked his friend in the eyes. He chewed on his lip and leaned back. “So,” he started with a smile. “How freaked out was he?”
“You don’t even want to know,” Nathan laughed as he joined his friend on the couch and grabbed the remote.
~~~~~
Brian was looking over the contract he had drawn up for Derek when Justin entered his office and sat down in front of his desk. “Hey.”
“Hey.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I thought the presentation was today.” Justin said slowly, almost as if he were asking.
“It is.”
“Well, here I am,” Justin said as he spread his arms.
“You know you don’t have to be here for this,” Brian told him as he set the papers on his desk.
“I know,” Justin said as he leaned back and rested his ankle on his knee. “But I have too much invested not to see it through.”
“Okay,” Brain said as he got out of his chair and sat on the edge of his desk in front of Justin. “About the other day. I know we haven’t had a chance to really talk about it, but –”
“Don’t think twice about that,” Justin said, waving it off. “I know nothing happened. I mean, really, it’s Nathan we’re talking about here. I know he wouldn’t do anything with you. Just like I know that you wouldn’t do anything with him. The thought of you two together, well…come on, it’s ridiculous. ”
“So then what was that little performance about?” Brian asked as he crossed his arms and crooked his eyebrow.
“Just a little fun,” Justin said with a smile. “Keeping you on your toes.”
“There are so many other places I’d rather be kept,” Brian said, raising his eyebrow and giving his tongue in cheek grin.
“Yeah, well—”
BUZZ
“Brian,” Cynthia’s voice came over the intercom. “You’re 11:00 is here.”
Brian looked at Justin. “Ready?”
“Ready.”
Brian pushed the intercom button. “Send him in.”
The two men stood up and waited for Derek.
~~~~~
Derek strolled in Brian’s office with a smug expression. This was the day he had been waiting for. He had Brian and Justin alone together. It was time for some fun. “Brian, Justin,” he greeted them.
“Derek,” Brain said evenly, while Justin merely nodded in his direction. “Let’s move into the conference room,” he said, gesturing to the room next to his office.
“Actually, first,” Derek said as he took off his coat and gloves, making himself comfortable on the couch. “I would like to clear a few things up first, have a clear head going into it.”
“Fine,” Brian said through clenched teeth. “What?”
“Justin, I wanted to know how things are going to be between us,” Derek said, looking at his ex. “You once told me that I was the best lay you ever had, that the connection between us was so amazing. A connection like that just doesn’t go away.”
“What?” Brian asked incredulously.
“You’re right, Derek,” Justin admitted. “I did say that. I said it over 4 years ago, though. And I think at the time, my sexual experience was…somewhat limited. Didn’t have much basis for comparison.”
“Well, I must do something right for Brian to keep coming back for more.” He smirked at his ex and spread his arms across the back of the couch.
“It was more like you were there and convenient,” Brian corrected him.
“Is that what Justin is? Convenient?”
“No,” Brian stated simply, not offering Derek any more of an explanation.
“Oh come off it, Brian,” Derek scoffed. “I know you’re going to miss fucking me,” he added with assurance.
“No, I won’t,” Brian scoffed. “Why would I? I have Justin.”
Derek looked at Justin square in the eyes. “So, Justin, are you just going to forget the fact that Brian is the reason why our relationship went downhill?”
“The reason our relationship went downhill was because you couldn’t keep your dick in your pants. And yes, I know, Brian has a similar dilemma, but at least he is honest about it.”
“That is such bullshit, Justin!” Derek exclaimed. “I can’t believe what I’m hearing!”
“Well believe it. I’m with Brian.” Justin gave Brian a sideways glance, smiling.
Brian let a small smile escape his lips before walking to his desk to get the contract. He made his way back to the two men and placed the contract on the coffee table in front of Derek. “Here. You can sign the damn papers or not. I could really care less. You know you won’t find anything better anywhere else. Kinnetik is the best,” he said as he held out a pen for Derek.
Derek snatched the pen from Brian and tapped the end on the table a few times. He picked up the contract and skimmed through it. He knew that having Kinnetik promote his gallery was the best thing for him, and he knew Brian was a professional when it came to his job. He made his way through the papers, signing wherever there was an X. He threw the pen on the table and stood up. “Here,” he said, handing the contract to Brian. “You’ll be hearing from me shortly.” He grabbed his coat and stalked out of the office.
Brian set the contract back on his desk while Justin went to the door and made sure it was locked.
“So,” Brian said as he sat on the edge of his desk.
“So,” Justin repeated as he made himself comfortable between Brian’s legs.
Brain rested his hands on Justin’s hips as he leaned forward to kiss him. He hadn’t realized how much he missed kissing the blond until their lips met. His hands moved up Justin’s back, pulling him closer.
Justin wrapped his arms around Brian’s neck and eagerly accepted the kiss. He leaned back some and started loosening Brain’s tie. He pulled the tie off and started unbuttoning the shirt. He pulled it up over Brian’s head and threw it over the desk. He reached in Brian’s pockets for the ever-present condom and lube, as he felt fingers unbuttoning his shirt.
Brian made quick work of Justin’s shirt and pants before leading him over to the couch, removing his own pants along the way. He pushed Justin down on the couch and laid on top of him, their cocks rubbing against each other. He captured the blond’s lips and thrust his tongue into the warm mouth.
Justin sucked on Brian’s tongue and shoved the supplies into a strong hand. He moaned at the loss of those soft lips before feeling the cold lube touch the puckered skin. He gasped softly feeling the slight burning ache as a finger slowly pushed inside, and moaned a bit too loudly as he felt a hot mouth sucking on his neck. He ran his fingers through auburn hair tugging sharply until he was rewarded with a kiss and another finger joining the first.
When Brian felt the muscles relax around his fingers, he pulled them out and tore the condom wrapper open with his teeth. He rolled it down over his hard aching cock and positioned it at the quivering hole. He pushed in slowly, enjoying the tightness and warmth that encompassed him. He felt Justin’s legs wrap around his waist as he began thrusting in earnest. He made sure to hit that sweet spot with each thrust, causing the blond to clench around his cock.
Justin bit down on the hard smooth shoulder trying to control his moans, but the sensations caused by the hard shaft moving inside him was making it impossible. He moaned loudly, inhaling with jagged breaths until his mouth was covered stopping all thoughts of breathing. He slid his hand around the muscular neck, running his fingers through the soft hair. He could feel the thrusts getting harder and a hot mouth moved to his neck. He knew it wouldn’t be long before he lost all control.
Brian tried to move his hand to Justin’s cock but it was slapped away. He felt himself being pulled closer, the blond’s cock rubbing against his stomach. After a few more thrusts he felt the hot evidence spurt between their bodies, and he followed moments later. He rested his weight on the quivering body below him as he struggled to catch his breath, running his fingers though the blond locks. He started to move but was held in place firmly, Justin’s legs still squeezing tightly around his waist.
“Stay,” Justin whispered, his breathing still irregular.
And he did.
~~~~~
Derek was fuming as he made his way out of Kinnetik. He couldn’t believe Justin was going back to Brian after everything that had happened. And Brian…boy, was he going to make him sorry he ever crossed him. He planned on making him work his ass off on his account.
He dug in his pocket for his keys and realized that he had left his gloves in Brian’s office. No way was he going to leave those gloves behind. They were his favorite pair of Armani gloves. He turned abruptly and made his way back into Kinnetik.
The receptionist was not at her desk so he continued walking down the hallway. It seemed that Cynthia had also decided to leave her desk unattended. No way was he going to waste his time looking for her so she could announce his presence. He was about to push on the door when he heard Justin. And boy was he loud. As was Brian. He wanted to turn and leave, but his feet refused to move. It was like he was cemented to the floor.
Not even in the beginning of his relationship with Justin was he ever that vocal during sex. No matter what they did. He clenched his fists and turned to leave, almost running into Cynthia in the process.
“Like what you’re hearing?”
“I wasn’t listening,” Derek lied.
“How can you not? It’s hard to miss,” Cynthia said with a small laugh. “Why do you think I was at the other end of the building? Whenever I hear the click of that lock, I know to make myself scarce for a while. What are you doing back here anyway?”
“I forgot my gloves. I want them,” Derek said, acting like a petulant child.
“Well, you’re gonna have to wait,” Cynthia said as she headed to the kitchen with Derek hot on her heels. “There is no telling how long they’ll be. It’ll probably be a while considering how long it has been.” She looked in the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water. “And there is no way I am going to interrupt them. And you’re gonna have to wait someplace else, not back here.”
“Fine,” Derek said in a huff and he turned to exit the kitchen. He made his way down the hall, the moaning from the office was still faintly audible. He stood in the lobby for a moment before deciding to leave. “Fuck it.” He could always buy a new pair of gloves.

It really isn't a stutter. I was just very impressed. All my angst resolved.
