inside. In line for coat check, Lucas tried to play it cool, but couldn’t.
    “What did you give him?”
    The thumping bass was muted in the vestibule, but still loud. Nate put his lips right up to Lucas’s ear, sending a shiver down Lucas’s spine. “My driver’s license and my library card, plus fifty bucks from my dad.”
    Lucas didn’t stop laughing until they pushed open the doors to the interior of the club, and he gazed around, speechless. The cavernous, multilevel circular space was full of men.
    Young, hot men. Strobe lights pulsed in time to the deafening beat, and Lucas could barely hear himself think.
    A few women were here and there, but by and large it was the most male place Lucas had ever been. The most gay. It was like heaven. Granted, a very loud, crowded, and sexed-up heaven.
    Nate must have spotted his friends, because the next thing Lucas knew, Nate was pulling him along as they weaved through the crowd surrounding the dance floor. Lucas didn’t mind; as long as Nate was holding his hand, he’d go anywhere.

    “Hey!” A very good-looking guy with light brown skin and the clearest eyes Lucas had ever seen waved to them. Those eyes raked over Lucas, taking him in from head to toe. The man winked at Nate before dropping a quick kiss on his lips. He then turned to Lucas, extending his hand and speaking loudly over the din. “I’m Yaman.”
    Four cute young men sidled up, all also kissing Nate on the mouth in greeting, which surprised Lucas. It also made him ridiculously jealous. Nate had dropped his hand when they’d found their little space in the crowd, and Lucas fought the urge to sling his arm over Nate’s shoulders possessively.
    After Lucas was introduced to Jamie, Ryan, Gord, and Dave, he tried to pay attention as they all chattered about people he didn’t know. It was strange to see Nate with his friends, talking and laughing and being so much more outgoing and confident than he was with his family. Lucas had glimpsed this side of him, but it was startling to see him so relaxed.
    He tried valiantly not to obsess about whether or not Nate had slept with any of his friends. He knew it was none of his business, but his mind kept returning to thoughts of Nate with other men. He wanted him all to himself.
    When everyone else ran to the dance floor for a hot new song, Nate shouted to him, “I don’t dance, but go ahead!”
    Shaking his head, Lucas drew Nate near. “I just want to watch.”
    With a nod of his head, Nate led Lucas upstairs to the second floor. A railing ran all the way around, and they looked out over the dance floor. Nate stood behind Lucas, his arms around Lucas’s stomach. Lucas tingled at Nate’s touch.
    A mass of male bodies writhed as one below them, bare skin glistening with sweat and glitter that rained down at regular intervals. Some men simply danced, but others rubbed against each other, limbs tangled, kissing desperately. Lucas realized he was half hard, and he wiped sweat from his brow. “It’s hot in here,” he shouted.

    “How’s that song go? I think you’re supposed to take your clothes off now.” Nate nipped Lucas’s earlobe.
    On impulse, Lucas peeled off his T-shirt, hooking it through one of his belt loops.
    Glancing over his shoulder, he saw Nate’s expression suddenly grow serious, his eyes dark with desire as he descended on Lucas’s mouth, kissing him thoroughly.
    Catching his breath, Lucas turned back to the dance floor as Nate moved in even closer, his hands drifting upward, caressing Lucas’s chest. Nate raked his short nails through the sprinkling of chest hair before teasing Lucas’s nipples, one and then the other. As he sucked at the juncture of Lucas’s neck and shoulder, Lucas felt adrenalin sing in his veins.
    When Nate’s hand deftly unzipped Lucas’s jeans and slipped inside, Lucas glanced around furtively. Eyes were on them from all sides, and he found to his shock that being watched
