Jason waited eagerly for Caleb to return. He didn't want to think about what his sister and Nathaniel upstairs.

Caleb grinned as he reached the bottom of the steps, spotting Jason still on the couch. "I'm glad Nathaniel's having such a great birthday."

"Yeah, well come and help me take my mind off of how great his birthday is." Jason patted his knee, wanting Caleb to come sit on him.

The leopard laughed. "If you insist." Shaking his head, he plopped down on Jason's lap. "Happy?"

"Very much so." He kissed the cat. "You smell good enough to eat, Kitty."

"Mm." Caleb purred, kissing Jason back. "So do you..."

"Why, thank you." He kissed him passionately. "Downstairs bedroom?"

Caleb kissed along Jason's jaw. "I don't know where we're staying... up to you..."

"Well, they're upstairs so let's stay down here." He put his arm around the other man’s waist. "Chocolate time."

"Mmm... chocolate." A smirk teased Caleb's lips. "Cake."

"No cake, just chocolate sauce all over your body."

"It sounds... sticky." He licked the spot behind Jason's ear, then nibbled at his ear lobe.

"Very sticky. Almost as sticky as other things." Jason pulled Caleb against him.

"Mm..." Caleb rocked his hips against his lover's. "Jason? Can we get the chocolate so I can taste... other things...?"

"Sure thing, Kitty. It's on the counter in a bag, but you have to show me what you bought today." He whispered into his ear.

The cat pouted, shivering at Jason's tone. "It's... the bag's next to the couch..."

"I'll get the chocolate. I'll meet you in the room."

Caleb stared as Jason moved into the kitchen, fighting back a growl. He wanted Jason now, as impatient as he was. He was burning for the wolf. He shook his head and grabbed the bag containing the vibrating plug (he wasn't sure Jason would want to use that or not), flavored lubricants, leather bondage ties, black bondage tape, warm tingle causing massage and lubrication oil and handcuffs. So he'd gone a bit overboard, but he didn't know what Jason would like.... Caleb sighed, heading into their room for the night.

Jason grabbed the chocolate and the whipped cream in a can. He was going to have fun licking it off of Caleb. He walked through the livingroom. He could hear Nathaniel and his sister. He shook his head and went into the bedroom where Caleb was waiting for him.

Turning halfway through taking off his shirt, the leopard waved a hand at the bed where he had dumped the bag. "I went a bit crazy... I don't know what you like so..."

Jason walked over to the bed. He grinned at Caleb. "These all look like so much fun." He picked up the vibrating butt plug. "I am so using this on you."

"Are you? Before or after the chocolate?" Caleb leaned against the wall, enjoying watching his lover move.

"I haven't decided yet," Jason told him. "Let's just grab something and go with it."

Caleb moved forward, grabbing Jason and pulling him to him. "I grabbed you... that works..." His lips quirked before he covered Jason's mouth with his.

Jason wrapped his arms around Caleb and kissed him. "So you grabbed me. Now what?"

"This..." His lips found the spot on Jason's neck, just behind his ear that drove him mad as his hands slid over his chest, pausing only to pull the wolf's shirt off.

Jason let him to what he wanted to him. Tonight, Caleb was going to top him and he couldn't wait. "I see you got handcuffs..."

"Mmhm." He ran a hand down Jason's back. "I did."

"And tonight, you're going to top me." Jason said, half purring his words.

Caleb shivered. "Yes..." He pulled Jason closer, grinding into him.

Jason put his hands on Caleb's hip. "Can't do that with pants on though."

"Hinting at something, Wolf?"

"Not at all, Leopard."

His hands making quick work of Jason's pants, Caleb knelt before him, tracing Jason's navel with his tongue.

Jason savored the sensation. "I don't know if I can take the toys tonight, Kitty. I want you buried deep inside me now."

"Mmm..." Caleb licked Jason's length, then pulled him into his mouth as he reached for the warming and tingle causing oil, knowing that it would be nearly hot when inside the wolf. He coated his fingers in it, slowly starting to finger Jason's opening.

Jason spread his legs for Caleb. "I love it when you do that." He watched him lick the length of his cock and shuddered. "Hurry." He said half-pleadingly.

Caleb nodded, climbing to his feet, then shoving the stuff from the bed. "Lay down."

Jason laid back for him. "Caleb, I love you."

"I love you too." Caleb pushed Jason's thighs apart and kissed him as he slowly pressed inside.

Jason returned the kiss. He pressed himself against Caleb, wanting all of him inside him now.

"Impatient, Wolf..." He swallowed, then pushed all of the way in with a groan. "Fuck, Jason..."

Jason moaned loudly. "It got you inside of me, didn't it?"

"Ssh..." Caleb ducked his head, teasing Jason's neck with his mouth as he began thrusting in and out of Jason's tight sheath.

Jason gasped at the sensation. Before Caleb, he'd only ever been with one man. He'd never been topped by a man before. "Oh, Caleb."

"Love... so tight..." Caleb moaned, reaching down to stroke Jason.

Jason kissed him, sliding his tongue into his mouth. It all felt so good.

Caleb kissed him deeply, tilting his hips so that he brushed Jason's prostate each time. It was... unbelievable. He couldn't decide if he liked Jason inside him more or being inside of Jason. Both were heaven.

Jason's breathing quickened when Caleb moved. It was so wonderful feeling. Caleb would definitely be topping him again. "Why didn't you tell me it felt so good?"

"I'm not... uhn... doing this right if you're still..." Caleb nipped at his lower lip as he thrust harder. "Talking in complete sentences...."

Jason made a soft whimpering noise. "More," He begged. He wanted all that Caleb could give him.

Moaning, Caleb gave Jason his wish as he marked Jason's neck.

Jason felt the pressure building up in his body. With Caleb this close, he would come all over his stomach.

"Come, Jason- now. I want you to come with me..." He said hoarsely against Jason's neck.

Jason shouted his name as he came against Caleb.

The leopard shook against Jason, burying his face in the wolf's neck as he spilled himself into him with a groan.

Jason sighed contentedly. "We have to do this again sometime."

"Mmm." Caleb kissed the corner of Jason's mouth. "Yeah."

Jason smiled at him. "Sorry we didn't get to the toys."

The cat's lips quirked wryly. "I don't think I could have handled the toys."

Jason laughed. "Me either."

Caleb rolled his eyes. "Laughing so soon? I must have done it wrong..."

Jason cuddled up next to Caleb. "You did nothing wrong. It was perfect."

"You're sure?" He wrapped his arms around the blond. "I didn't hurt you or-"

“Hush. I'm fine. It was the best sex. I've ever had." Jason put his head on Caleb's shoulder.

He blushed, stroking the wolf's back."I love you, Jason."

"I love you too, Caleb."

Caleb pressed a kiss to Jason's lips, then closed his eyes. Within moments, he found himself drifting into one of the best nights of sleep he'd gotten in a long time.

Emiko gripped her bag tightly. She had not come all this way to turn back now. She would see him again. But did he have to work as a stripper? She sighed. She hadn't seen Nathaniel since the night she'd given him money to run away from his father. She’d spend years trying to find him. She took a deep breath and got into the line for Guilty Pleasures.

Nathaniel trailed his fingers down his body as his violet eyes ran over the crowd, veiled and dark with what were perceived to be thoughts of seduction and sex. His hips moved with the pulsing beat of the music, his clothing seeming to disappear. Dropping to his knees, he thrust his hips forward as if he was making love to an invisible person before crawling towards the pole and pulling himself up into a flip.

She took a seat in the back. Unshed tears burned her eyes. That was Nathaniel, alright. She had so much to say to him. She wondered what his life was like now. She wanted to run to and throw her arms around him, but she would wait until we was done.

He worked off his pants before crawling once again before the audience, letting them slip singles and fives into his thong, along with the odd twenty. The music began to draw to an end, and he stood, sauntering back to the curtain as if inviting them back with him for an explicit tryst. With a smirk and a wave, the music ended, and he disappeared.

Emiko quickly went to the side of the stage. There was a man near the side door. "Excuse me. I need to talk to Nathaniel. It's very important."

Gregory looked over the woman before him, taking in the Asian looks- the startling black hair and small structure only to be brought up short by the blue eyes. "Customers are not allowed backstage."

"I'm not a customer. I'm an old friend of Nathaniel's. Please can I just speak to him?"

He sighed. "Give me a name. I'll ask if he wants to talk to you." Why the fuck was he doing this? How many times had he heard the old friend line? Something about the woman before him though, made him ask.

"My name is Emiko Ito. I grew up with his and his brother Nicky. I've been looking for him for nearly ten years." She hoped the man would let her see Nathaniel. She'd come all this way for him.

His blue eyes widened. "Wait here." He turned, nodding at Buzz before heading into the back room. Spotting Nathaniel, Gregory made his way over to him. "Nate, there's a girl outside wanting to talk to you."

Emiko shifted from one foot to another. She couldn't believe it. Finally, she was going to get to see Nathaniel face to face.

Nathaniel froze as Gregory described the woman wanting to see him, and her name. "Take her to one of the private rooms, alright? I'll meet you there in a second, after I dress." "Yeah, sure."

Gregory nodded, slipping back out in a quiet movement that startled the woman. "He wants you to meet him in a private room. Follow me."

Emiko took a deep breath and followed the man. "Are you a stripper too?" She asked softly, her voice quivered with nervousness.

He flashed her a smile over his shoulder. "Yeah. Stripper, bartender, bouncer.... I sorta just fill in where I'm needed."

Emiko couldn't help but notice how good he looked. He worked out, she could tell. He had such pretty hair too. Not quite blonde, more like the color of butter.

"Here we are." Gregory opened the door to the private room, letting her enter first as he took in her scent before following her. "Customers aren't allowed here without a stripper... so you get me until Nathaniel gets showered and dressed."

Emiko sat down. "That’s alright. I'm sorry, I didn't ask you name." She looked at him.

"I'm Gregory." He offered her his hand as he sat on the couch next to her. The strippers had requested a couch be put into the room- it gave them more room for lap dances. "And it's fine."

Emiko smiled at him. "Are you a friend of Nathaniel’s?"

"Yeah." He bit his lip. "I've known him for... over ten years now."

"Really? How has his life been? We've always wondered how he would turn out." She bowed her head. “I never should have given him the money to run away."

"I'll... um... I'll let you ask him that. He should be here in a minute." Gregory glanced at his watch, then stood.

"Oh, yes, of course.'' She watched Gregory stand. Soon. Soon she'd see Nathaniel again.

He yawned after a moment, stretching. His back arched, and his shirt slid up his abdomen, revealing his recently pierced navel. "Mmm... excuse me."

"It's okay." She realized she was starting at his navel and quickly looked away.

His lips quirked slightly as he caught her glance. "I just got it done..."

"It's, uh, very nice." She blushed.

"Thanks." Gregory watched as the door opened. "Hey, Nate."

"Hi, Gregory." Nathaniel bit his lip, glancing at Emiko. It was her! "I um... thanks. For..." He waved a hand, as the blond nodded.

"No problem." He smiled at the pretty woman once more. "It was nice meeting you..."

"Nice to meet you too." She said, but she was looking at Nathaniel. "Oh, Nate..."

"Miko..." The leopard swallowed as they were left alone. "You look... really nice."

She stood up quickly and hugged him. "I can't wait to tell Nick that it's really you."

Nathaniel froze. "Emiko... Nick's dead." He didn't return the hug, too nervous and unsure to embrace anyone.

"Nick is alive, Nathaniel. I know you thought so, so when you left with the money I gave you I called 911. They got to him in time."

The leopard stepped back. "No... he's dead." This wasn't happening. Nick was dead. Emiko was lying. She had to be.

Emiko grabbed her purse and pulled out a picture. "Look, Nathaniel. Nick and I took these picture a few months ago."

Nathaniel backed up until his back hit the door. "No... You're lying... just... just stay away from me." He turned, jerking the door open only to see Gregory. "Tell... tell JC I'm leaving."

Gregory stared as Nathaniel hurriedly made his way to the exit before looking at Emiko. "What the hell did you say to him?" His eyes burned, angry at the submissive leopard's obvious upset.

"Nathaniel." Emiko called after him. She hadn't meant to upset him. Tears were running down her face as Gregory turned to glare at her. "I told him that his brother is alive." She still had the picture clutched in her hand.

He gave her a disbelieving look. "Impossible."

"Nick is very much alive." She closed her eyes and fell on her knees. "I didn't mean to hurt him."

The blonde sighed, helping her to her feet, and holding her against him as he rubbed her back. God, he hated seeing women cry. "Emiko... it's alright.... sh..."

"It's not alright." She sobbed. "I just found him and I already screwed it up." She pressed her face into his shoulder.

"Shh... I know Nate... He'll calm down. He just doesn't know what to do." He rocked her gently in his arms.

"Are you sure?" She pulled back so she could look him in the eyes.

Gregory nodded, brushing the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs. "Yes... I am. He's too... He's not going to... be calm right off, you know? But he'll want to know you and Nick again."

She nodded. " know and I want to have that chance with him." She took a calming breath. "Thank you."

He smiled slightly. "No problem. If you want... you can give me the picture and I'll give it to him when he's calmed down..."

She handed him the picture. "We took that a few months ago."

He stared as he saw the resemblance between the two. "I'll make sure he gets it. You can leave me a message here at the club any time, or at 555-6140."

"Thank you so much, Gregory." She gave him a hug.

His cheeks flushed slightly as he hugged her back. "You're welcome..."

“Lets me give you my cell phone number so if Nathaniel wants to call me he can." She wrote her number on a scrap of paper and handed it too him.

Gregory slid the slip of paper into his pocket. "Want me to write mine down for you? In case you don't remember it?"

"Um, sure. I'll put it into my cell phone." She took her cell out and punched in the number he gave her.

He bit his lip. "Alright... well... I'll walk you out, unless you want to stay for more sets."

She blushed. "This is the first time I've ever been to a strip club before."

He laughed. "You're joking?"

"Uh, no." She looked away from him.

Gregory couldn't stop himself from stepping closer to her. "You should come back tomorrow..."

"Why? What's going on tomorrow?" She asked as they stepped back out into the club.

"I'm dancing."

She blinked at him. "What?"

He stopped her, facing her with about an inch between their bodies. "I'm stripping tomorrow..."

"I got that, but you want me to come watch you?" She asked softly.

He flushed. "You don't have to." Gregory turned around, stepping away from him. Great, you fucking moron. Like she'd be interested. Hell, look at her! She's high class!

Emiko smiled at him. "I'd love to see your show."

He stilled, then looked at her. "Cool." Gregory smiled. "So... I'll look for you."

"I'll be up front." She grinned at him. "I'll see you tomorrow night."

"Yeah. Have a nice night, Emiko..." He waved, then turned, disappearing back into the club.

Emiko watched him walk away. He had such a nice butt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nathaniel swore as he pulled into Jase's driveway, parking his car and hurrying up to the door. He cursed again as he realized it was locked, knocking loudly as he noticed that he was shaking.

Jase opened the door. "He-what's wrong? You're shaking." Jase hugged him tightly.

He buried his face in her neck as he hugged her, shaking his head. He didn't want to talk, he didn't... A shudder ran down Nathaniel's spine.

Jase held him as he cried. "It's okay, Nathaniel." She stroked his hair.

He shook his head. "No... he's... he's dead..."

"Who's dead, Nathaniel? What happened?"

"Who's dead, Nathaniel? What happened?" She was worried. Had someone died? She wished Nathaniel would talk to her.

"Ni... Nick. She says he's alive but he's dead!" He straightened, roughly wiping his eyes. "She's lying!"

"Who said your brother was alive, Nathaniel?" She was confused. Nick was dead.

"Emiko... the girl who gave me the money..." Nathaniel began to pace, looking caged. "When I ran away."

"Nathaniel, calm down hun. You're not making any sense. A girl gave you money when you ran away?" She watched him pace, very worried about him

"When I was a kid- before I hit the streets." He sighed, raking a hand through his hair. "She came to see me tonight."

"Ok, start at the beginning." She touched his arm. "Let's go inside, okay? I'll make some tea."

"Alright..." He took her hand, biting his lip.

She led him inside and closed the door. "Sit and I'll bring you some tea." She didn't like how submissive he was being, obeying her every command. She quickly made tea and brought him a cup. "Here you go."

Nathaniel sat, resting his head on his arms on the table. "Thank you, Jase."

"It was nothing." She sat beside him. "Now tell me the whole thing."

He sipped his tea slowly as he explained, looking at his hands. "I'm sorry, " He said as he finished. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"She said Nick is alive?" She sipped her own tea. "Maybe he is then."

"He can't be, Jase." Nathaniel faced her. "I saw him die."

"Ok, but at least give her a chance. She came here just to see you."

He looked down. "Alright."

"Nate, if you don't want to then don't."

"If he's alive... I did everything for nothing, Jase..." He turned bruised looking eyes to her. "I should be happy... not..."

"Nathaniel, nothing changes if your brother is alive except now you can see him. You did what you thought was right. If he's alive I'm sure he'll want to see you."

"Jase... I was a whore! I... I'm worthless! Why the hell would he want to see me?" He looked down, tears spilling down his face again.

"You're not worthless. You're the man I love, Nathaniel." She hugged him tightly. "If you're worthless then so am I."

He growled at that notion. "You're a goddess, Jase. Don't ever say that."

"I am the same as you, Nathaniel." She blinked away tears.

He laid his head on her breast over her heart, swallowing. "The fallen can never hope for more than the brush of an angel's wings, and yet you're handing me the universe in the shape of your heart." Nathaniel raised his violet eyes to hers. "What do you do when you suddenly have the Earth and the stars in your hands?"

"You protect them." Jase kissed him. "Maybe Emiko is lying or maybe it's true. Either way I will help you work through this."

He nodded, then sighed. "I just sounded really stupid, didn't I?"

"No. You sound scared and that's okay. You just found out something very earth shattering."

Nathaniel brushed his lips over hers. "I meant the universe heart thing..."

"I thought it was very sweet." She hugged him. "I'm not what you think I am, Nathaniel. I have my own faults."

He blushed, hugging her back. "Just don't uh... tell Jason, alright?"

Jase grinned at him. "I won't tell him. Scout honor."

He gave her a suspicious look. "Were you ever a scout?"

"Jason and I were both scouts. Mom still has our scout uniforms somewhere." Jase put an arm around his waist and snuggled up to him.

He sighed, "You're lucky, Jase..."

"Why's that, Nathaniel?" She asked softly.

"You're just..." The leopard bit his lip, searching for words. "You got to do all the things I dreamed about..."

"If you want I can dress up like a scout for you." Jase pulled him down for a kiss. "Or do you want to be the scout."

He shivered at the thought, then shook his head. The shiver had been one not of lust but... something else as he remembered a client in the past who had paid him to wear his son's scouting uniform. "Let's... try the sexy female cop pulling over the speeding stripper first, alright?"

She laughed. "Sure thing, hun. You said Emiko gave you money to get away. How does a eight year old have that much money?"

"I never asked..." He ran a hand over his face.

"It sounds like she cares for you."

Nathaniel shook his head. "Jase, I don't want to think of this right now."

Jase ran a hand down his chest. "Then let me take your mind off of it."

He quirked a brow. "And how, Jase, are you going to do that?"

Jase kissed his neck. "I can think of a thing of two." She began to suck on his neck.

His head tilted for her, exposing more of his throat as he moaned. "Like...?"

She began to unbutton his shirt. "Sex on the couch sounds like fun."

She began to unbutton his shirt. "Sex on the kitchen table sounds like fun."

Nathaniel caught her mouth with his, pulling her to straddle his lap as he purred.

"Oh, I need to put the roast in the oven if we want to eat dinner tonight." She slid off his lap. "Sorry."

He froze, staring at her. "Oh..."

"Sorry." She said again, "I forgot that it was marinating in the fridge."

"Jase- I'm not going to flip simply because we aren't having sex at this very moment." He smiled, shaking his head as he pulled his braid around in front of him, starting to undo it.

"I'll give you a rain check." She put the roast in the oven. "Want me to brush your hair?"

"If you want. I need to wash it."His eyes lingered on her bottom as she bent, then straightened.

"Go take a bath, then I'll brush it for you." She set the timer for the roast.

"Alright." He hugged her from behind, kissing the side of her neck. "This might take a while."

"Just shout when you want me." She took in his scent. "You smell so good."

He leaned forward, whispering in her ear, his lips brushing the lobe. "It'd be pretty pointless to shout right now..." Nathaniel kissed her, then headed for the bathroom.

Jase shivered as he walked away. She glanced at the timer. She had a while. She hurried up the stairs and found him in the bathroom. "Hey."

Nathaniel had just finished slipping out of his pants as he waited for the tub to fill. "Hey."

"Need someone to wash your back?" She let her eyes wander down his body.

"What about dinner?" He shoved his hair back, testing the heat of the water again before climbing in.

"The roast has a while to cook." She walked over to him. "You know, you look really good wet."

"Do I?" He felt his lips quirk as he ran his eyes over her body.

She knelt beside the bath tub. "Yes." She leaned over and kissed him. "I think I'll just watch."

He kissed her back, then stretched in the water, reaching for his washcloth. "Mmkay."

Jase leaned against the bathtub. "Nathaniel, how do you feel about children?"

He paused in soaping up the cloth before starting to clean his forearm. "In general, or with you?"

"Both." She watched him wash himself.

"Well... I want children... I just never figured anyone would want to have them with me. I'm not exactly father material... and I'd want any child of mine to have the best life possible, no matter what." He paused, smiling. "You'd be a great mother..."

Jase blushed. "I should check on the roast." She paused at the doorway. "I meet the pack tonight."

"I'm sure it'll be fine, Jase." He bit his lower lip. "Want me to go? If it's possible?"

"No, the pack is already going to be upset because I've chosen a leopard. I 'll go by myself." She blew him a kiss. "It'll be okay."
