Chapter 11

“Dance with me?” Jamie reached up, running his knuckles along Scott’s cheek.

“I’d love to.” Scott nodded enthusiastically.

When Scott opened his arms in invitation, Jamie slid into them and wrapped his own arms around Scott’s waist. When he laid his cheek against Scott’s shoulder, they began to rock gently. Scott’s sigh of contentment was echoed by Jamie as their bodies pressed together and they swayed to the slow music.

Holding Jamie felt so right to Scott, and he wondered how he could ever have made him leave on that night. He fully realized his mistake and was determined it was one that he would never repeat.

As they rocked their bodies in unison, Scott slid his hand up Jamie’s back to his neck. He slowly pulled the tie from Jamie’s hair, releasing it. Dropping the tie in his pocket, Scott pulled the younger man closer, burying his face in the silky strands and nuzzling his neck.

“You smell incredible,” Scott whispered.
