Happy Birthday Baby by Jules Blue eyes filled with lust. Red lips wet with saliva. Broad chest heaving with anticipation. He turned his head first left, then right, scanning the room before him. He searched for someone, not wanting just anyone, but that person. That one person he knew would fill the hole that up until now, he hadn't realized was empty. Surveying the surrounding one last time he sighed, feeling the anticipation turn to disappointment. Of course he wasn't there, why should he be? Why should promises made in a drunken stupor actually mean anything? Even if it was the one thing that Nick could remember from that night clearly. it was as if for those ten seconds, the ten seconds it had taken Joey to whisper in his ear that on his birthday ..no scratch that - THEiR birthday, he should be at the Four Seasons New York to collect on the present Joey had been waiting to give him for years now, he had been stone cold sober, only for things to haze back up again, causing Nick to wonder if the whole exchange had *really* taken pl ace. No, Nick knew that the brief squeeze he'd felt on his ass had been real. So had the swift swipe of Joey's tongue against his jaw. it had been real. Apparently real funny, although Nick sure as hell wasn't laughing now. He'd explained to everyone that had wanted to make plans with him on his birthday that he had to be out of town. Didn't tell anyone where or why, just that he was busy. He'd flown all the way to New York eating nothing because the butterflies in his stomach threatened to reject anything he tried to put in there. He'd gotten no sleep because each time he closed his eyes Joey's face flashed in his mind and he remembered again what exactly he was going there to do. What that promise in Joey's voice had held. What Nick had been waiting for since -.well forever. Not that anyone would believe Nick's infatuation with the italian, because it was something that had thrown him off too. One day everything was normal, the next all Nick wanted to do was throw him up against the nearest flat surface, tear his clothes off with his teeth and make him see god. But judging from the fact that Nick was alone in this room full of people, well it appeared that Joey had been joking. "Fuck it," he muttered to himself. He was going to get a table anyways and eat. Might as well since he'd come all this way for nothing. Just as he'd ordered a salad to start someone sat down at the table with him. Looking her over, Nick noticed that she had a sly grin on her face, her dark curly hair pulled up in a messy ponytail. He wasn't exactly in the mood for small talk with a fan, but he smiled anyways. "You came. i can't believe you actually came," she grinned back at Nick, grabbing a breadstick from the holder on the table. The smile dropped from Nick's face and was replaced with a look of absolute shock. "i bet him five hundred bucks that you wouldn't show up. That you would have either not remembered or just blown it off. He said you'd be here." "Huh?" Nick looked over his shoulder, still seeing no sign of Joey anywhere. "He's not here." Nick's head spun around and he stared deep into her green eyes. "i mean, he's here. Just not in here. Too many people. Would look too suspicious." She grinned and popped the rest of her breadstick in her mouth, reaching for Nick's water glass to wash it down. "May i?" she asked, waiting until he nodded to take a drink. "Thanks. I'm parched." "Who are you?" The butterflies were back in full force and Nick had no clue as to what the hell was going on. "Julie. Jules actually, although - " she gave Nick the once over and winked while licking her lips. "You can call me anything you want Nicky boy." Nick couldn't help the laugh that resulted and he relaxed slightly, shaking his head. "But seriously. I'm a friend of Joe's. Met in Toronto a while ago, i moved down to get a change of scenery and - .well this isn't really about me. it's about you two." Julie stopped talking as the waiter came, bringing Nick's salad. He was about to inform her that he wasn't going to order anything else but Julie stopped him. "I'll have the grilled chicken sandwich please, with fries and an iced tea."

		"But, if he's here- " Again, Julie stopped him. "You're going to need all the energy you can get. Eat up sweetie." Nick felt tingles flow through his entire body. Once they were alone he turned to ask her what was going on, but as if she knew already she started talking. "He's here. We weren't sure if you were going to make it, so i told him I'd come down to greet you. No one really knows he's in town. Wants to keep it on the down low really." "So he- " "Meant it?" Nick nodded, slowly eating his salad while listening to Julie talk. "Yeah. it took him a fucking lot of alcohol to finally get the balls to say something to you. And let me tell you, he's been freaking out about it since." She paused for a moment taking a good look at Nick. "Apparently so have you." His blush spoke volumes. Their lunch was filled with comfortable small talk, Nick thankful for the distraction. Finally it was time for the bill and as Nick reached out for it Julie grabbed it from his hand. "it's on Joe." When he insisted on paying she only grinned, "well, if you've got an extra five hundred bucks that you can spare, I'd be really appreciative." Nick simply laughed and stood, grabbing his coat. "I'll see if i can cut you a deal with Joey." Julie winked and nodded her head, indicating that Nick was to follow her. She led him through the restaurant towards the elevators, oblivious to the stares that they received. Pushing the elevator button for PH2 Nick felt the nerves once again settle in. He jumped when he felt a hand on his arm. "Don't be nervous hon. You both know how the other feels, it's smooth sailing from here." But that was the thing, he didn't know how Joey felt. Sure he'd invited him to New York, but that didn't mean anything. "i don't have a clue as to how he feels Jules. i mean - " "Look at it this way Nick. He asked you here. Blatantly propositioned you. You know he's interested, he showed up. You showed up. What more is there to say?" "But - how do i know it's not just another fuck to him?" Julie gave a soft laugh as the elevator doors opened. She pulled him into the small hallway leading towards the door to the pent house. "You've both had plenty opportunities for meaningless fucks. Why the hell would he bring you all the way to New York to fuck you. Think about it." Before he could argue, she rang the doorbell and waited. Minutes later it opened and Nick's breath caught in his throat. There stood Joey, only wearing a pair of loose hanging jeans and a towel around his shoulders, looking like he had just stepped out of the shower. Julie stepped in and placed a soft kiss on Joey's cheek, "Happy Birthday babe." And just like that she was gone, the elevator giving a soft ,ding' in recognition. Joey stepped away from the door, inviting Nick in. Both men were smiling shyly at each other, neither sure of where to start. "Sorry about that -i -wasn't sure if you'd actually show up- " "Yeah, Julie said you two had made a bet and everything- " Nick laughed nervously. He was amazed at just how beautiful Joey was, how he took his breath away. Joey grinned and nodded, heading further into the room. He returned shortly after with the towel gone, replaced by a tee shirt. Nick felt a sliver of disappointment. "Well you know. Wasn't sure if you'd remember, and if you did, if you'd take me seriously." "i did. To both." "Good." There was an awkward silence between them as they made themselves comfortable on the couch. "Happy birthday." Joey laughed, "you too." Again. Silence. "Why is this so fucking weird?" Nick asked softly, his eyes not meeting Joey's. He heard him inhale deeply and stole a glance, their eyes connecting. "i mean - .it's not like - not like we've never done this before- " "But it's different. Strange." "i know." They shared a laugh, relaxing slightly. "I'm glad you asked though. i mean - i don't think i would have ever had the balls to do that." As he spoke, Nick realized that Joey was a lot closer than he'd been a few

		minutes earlier, their bodies dangerously close on the couch. Nick's pulse began to race and he giggled nervously. Turning his head, he found his mouth just inches away from Joey's. "i didn't think so either. But you were so fucking hot that night. And I'd been drinking too much and i decided that it was time to stop being such a pussy. To tell you - ." Joey paused to lick at Nick's lips, his hand moving to the blondeis groin to feel the erection that was growing, "to invite you here to show you how much i want you." Nick moaned as Joey's hand worked him steadily, their lips grazing one another in a tease of a kiss. Finally, he'd had enough and he leaned in to capture Joey's mouth, thrusting his tongue in forcefully. They continued on with their kiss until they broke free, both panting for air. Joey trailed his finger down Nick's jaw, nuzzling their noses together playfully. "You taste as good as i knew you would." Nick initiated another kiss, this time pushing Joey back so that they were laying together on the couch. it was then that he found out just how much the older man was affected by him. What he did to him. Joey was hard against his thigh, causing for Nick to grind their erections together. Their mouths never took leave of one another as Joey's hand slid into his jeans, cupping his ass roughly. He used that hold on Nick to grind them together harder, needing the friction to ease the ache that was settling in. They pulled away at the same time, staring at each other through lust filled eyes. "Tell me what you want," Nick breathed. His tongue trailed hot and wet along Joey's jaw stopping at his ear. Joey shivered beneath him causing Nick to giggle softly. "Jo-ey ...jo-ey," he sang, "tell me what you want, what you really really want." Joey had to laugh at that, capturing Nick's mouth in a kiss. "i want," he paused to speak, his lips moving against Nick's, "i want to feel all of you. inside me." Nick's heart skipped a few beats and he froze, eyes opening wide. The last thing he would have expected was for Joey to be a bottom. He was just so ...toppy. Joey could sense Nick's surprise and chuckled, grinding their groins together again. "What? Not expecting that? Not expecting me to like a cock up my ass?" Nick growled and Joey moaned. "i do Nick. Love it. Need it." "Good, because I've got one that's just throbbing to be in there." Nick climbed off of Joey's body and pulled the older man up. They ambled towards the spacious bedroom, falling onto the bed together. Nick was naked in record time, his clothes tossed haphazardly on the floor. He watched as Joey licked his lips and palmed his own erection through his jeans. With a flick of his wrist, Joey's jeans were undone and being pulled down his legs, both men equally naked in a matter of seconds. With long swipes of his tongue, Nick bent down to take Joey into his mouth, blowing him enthusiastically. The soft sounds of slurping could be heard through the room as Nick worked Joey to a state of sexual frenzy. Just as he was certain that the older man was about to cum Nick stopped, crawling up his body. Joey's legs were over Nick's shoulders and a pillow placed under his back. Wanting more leverage, Nick pressed Joey's knees over his own shoulder, closer to the bed. Looking down, he was opened completely, pucker ready and waiting. "God you're so fucking hot like this," Nick growled, leaning in to kiss him furiously. Their tongues fought back and forth until Joey ripped his mouth away. "Enough Carter. Fuck me already." Gone was the nervousness he'd felt earlier. The uncertainty. The shy little boy he'd always seemed to be. Now, it was replaced with a burning desire. A hunger. An overwhelming need to sexually dominate this beautiful man in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, Nick spotted lube and condoms on the night stand and grinned. "i guess you were ready huh?" Joey chuckled, "whether or not you showed up it was going to be used. I'm just glad i don't have to use it alone." "Definitely not alone baby, gonna make you fucking scream." Within seconds, Nick was sheathed in the condom and lube and placed at Joey's entrance. They exchanged intense glares until Joey's grip tightened on Nick's arms. "Please." "Yeah." And in one swift movement, Nick was inside. Completely buried in Joey's tightness, both men trembling from the intensity. "Tight.. Hot ...so fucking good." Nick couldn't think in complete thoughts, nor could he string too many words together. it was the most amazing sensation he'd felt in ..well forever and he forced himself to stop and breathe, wanting to prolong it as long as possible. The thing that brought him out of his trance was Joey grinding against him, pulling his face down to his own. "As good as this feels, and believe me, it's fucking fantastic." Joey kissed Nick's lips, ran his fingers through his hair. "it would be a hell of a lot better if you fucking MOVED."

		Nick gasped before pulling out and then thrusting back in, starting them on a fast, furious pace. Their bodies came together forcefully, loudly smacking against each other. Grunts echoed in the room as well as pleasurable gasps, neither able to form coherent words. Nick continued to jab repeatedly at Joey's prostate, enjoying the look of absolute pleasure on his face. "Love this ...love ..." Before Joey could finish his thought, Nick felt a warmth coat his entire body and blinding lights flashing behind his eyes. He jerked a few times before cumming long and hard inside of Joey. He was barely aware of Joey's hand slipping in between them to jerk himself, it only taking three fast tugs before he too was cumming, coating their chests with sticky warmth. As soon as Nick felt the tightness in his body start to relax, he braced himself so that he wouldn't collapse on Joey, crushing him. With a gentle kiss to his lips, Nick lowered Joey's legs back down to the bed and rolled to the side, unable to wipe the grin from his face. "You are unbelievable," Joey gasped, still attempting to regain his breath. He couldn't feel his legs, and in any other situation he would have worried. But now, with Nick panting beside him, glistening in the hotel lights covered in sweat, Joey had never been more pleased. He turned his head to face Nick, bringing his hand up to trace the younger manis jaw. "Amazing." "You're just saying that. Post-orgasmic haze. it'll fade." "i don't think it will." Joey was being honest. Their eyes met and they both felt an electric current flowing between them. Nick was the first to look away when his eyes fluttered shut and he rolled towards Joey, resting his head on his chest. Their fingers laced together and Joey pulled Nick tight against his body, allowing for them to mold together. Nick couldn't think of a more perfect way to spend his birthday. Needing the older man to know, he told him just that, unsure of how he would react. He was relieved when Joey smiled. "i know. it's like, i can't even remember what i did last year for my birthday, but whatever it was couldn't have been even close to this." "Can we ..." Nick was suddenly nervous again, the question of what now looming in his mind. "...i mean, maybe do this again?" "On one condition." Nick nodded, biting his lip. "You don't make me wait until our birthdays next year for it." Nick chuckled as he covered Joey's mouth in a heated kiss, their tongues dueling erotically. "How does now sound?" "Already?" Joey asked, his voice a cross between a growl and a moan. He could feel Nick hard against his thigh and found his own erection resurfacing. "I'm young. I'm perpetually hard." Nick's eyes twinkled mischievously as he worked his way down Joey's body once more. it was going to be their best birthdays yet. Finis
