Chapter 18 - Midnight kiss
.
.
Thomas led me around the house and walked in through the back door. I followed and saw a spacious kitchen. Inside was only a small group of four men, but the party was lively by the state of noise in the next room. Thomas motioned for me to come in. His shirt was now buttoned, and he walked to that little group with a smile. They all looked at me.
Great... I stepped in, not at all looking forward to being here.
"Hi." A cautious but welcoming wave greeted me with the deepest voice I had ever heard. That man was a fucking behemoth! He had a bold head and a nicely groomed beard. 6'5, maybe more. His huge muscles only enhanced his size. He looked like a bodybuilder, and the black sports shirt on his chest would be in so much pain if it were a living being. It was stretched so much on his torso and bulging biceps that I was thinking, why even bother putting anything on? Just paint it, it would have the same effect.
Next to him was a guy with curly red hair about 5'8. He turned around to look. I suppose he was in his late twenties maybe early thirties and he still had these boyish features. His hair was little under his chin, and he was lean except for his broad shoulders and strong arms. Wearing a button-down green shirt that matched his eyes. I must say he looked cute, even pretty.
Those two were holding hands, and the height and weight difference made them look like complete opposites, underlined with the dark skin tone of that behemoth next to the pale skin of the ginger one.
.
Thomas stopped next to another big man. Is this some club for tall, muscled bodybuilders? I realized each one of them was ripped, including Thomas. Thomas is 6'1, and this guy was like three inches taller. Bright blue eyes contrasted with his dark hair and beard. His white t-shirt also showed a big frame and pronounced muscles.
Next to that one was a guy about my height with blond hair, a clean-shaven face, and brown eyes. He was shredded as well but standing between those two, he looked little. I felt like I came to some gym party. Even Thomas and the pretty boy, who wore dress shirts, looked casual. Top buttons opened, and sleeves rolled up. I have to say I felt intimidated and overdressed.
.
I realized their talk had stopped, and they were all looking at me. Perfect... That is always a good sign...
"Hi." I came over to them, standing between Thomas and that red-haired one.
"This is Matt," Thomas said casually.
Everyone nodded my way, and I chose to act with confidence. I don't mind meeting new people, just all this was very sudden, and neither of them felt like my "kind of people," or better yet, I felt totally out of place being here. But the fact that I had just bred Thomas gave me a slight confidence boost, so I went with it.
"Matt, this is Ben," Thomas pointed at the Behemoth. "his husband Peter," Of course! Fucking ginger, pretty boy. I stared at him.
.
"Ross and Phil."
I heard him but didn't even look at which one was which. Peter and I glared like we killed each other's families but tried to play it civil. He then had the nerve to sneer at me and turn to Thomas.
"What is he doing here?"
"Bringing chaos into my life," Thomas grabbed a glass and handed it to me while he took one himself.
"I am driving," I said calmly.
"Are you?"
I was confused a bit; who else would drive me? I didn't see him sitting behind the wheel in the state he was in. He wasn't drunk that he would be babbling and incoherent. I suppose he was just in the euphoria stage. I would guess he had two or three drinks. But still not okay to drive.
"Yes," I said calmly.
Thomas just smirked.
"I think you will regret this later, but suit yourself."
I put it on the counter and turned to them.
.
"So what brings you here, Matt?" Ben asked.
"I just wanted to wish Thomas a Happy New Year."
"How nice of you," if look and voice could give a person poison, no one would be able to find me an antidote fast enough.
"I am a very nice person if I want to be, Peter."
"I am just confused since we have never heard about you before."
I hated that fucking sneer on his face. He looked like I was some kind of unique bug, interesting yet still disgusting. Fuck you, pretty boy!
"I, however, heard about you, pet."
If I were in my twenties, I would punch him! Such arrogance, like he is better than me, and I just walked into the wrong establishment. He was seriously irking me.
Ben straightened his spine and gave me a warning look.
"You don't get to call him that."
"If he keeps looking at me like that, he will be happy if I call him only that," I looked seriously at Ben while I stated that matter of factly.
Peter looked as if I had just stepped on his foot and Ben looked amused at Peter, Thomas, and back at me while crossing his arms on that massive chest.
"Careful, boy."
I am not intimidated by you, big guy. I've taken down bigger in my times.
.
I looked calmly at Thomas. I was about to ask him if we could go somewhere private when someone shouted. "30 seconds!!!"
I looked that way and back at Thomas. He had this slight smirk. That cold, waiting stare of feline hunter, I knew it too well by now. He was waiting on my move, and I knew there was no way to get him away from here.
We stared at each other, murmuring voices around us, music in our ears, but the only thing I saw was his face, not even two feet from me.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
I told him I wouldn't kiss him in front of his friends!
"Eight!"
It's not even important. I got to fuck him. So I can get home satisfied!
"Seven!"
Fucker! You've done this on purpose!
"Six!"
No fucking way! You can kiss my ass.
"Five!"
Fuck!
"Four!"
It doesn't matter. I am not doing this!
"Three!"
Fuck you!
"Two!"
Fuck!
"One!!!"
"Fuck you, you bastard!" I didn't even realize I said it out loud. Thomas smirked. I knew that smile. It was his fucking victory smile.
"Happy New Year!!!"
I stepped to him and grabbed him by his neck, launching on his lips. Thomas replied with the same aggression, and we made out there in the middle of some stranger's kitchen with people right next to us.
.
When we let go of each other, I could see Peter kissing Ben. Ross with that Phil guy were standing there. Ross looked at me with a smile, and Phil was staring hungrily at Peter and Ben. Then they looked at him and pulled him between themselves, and all three started making out big time.
.
"Happy New Year," Thomas whispered in my ear and licked it.
"You not going to hunt someone?" Thomas asked Ross. He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. He had a kind of longing in them.
"Nah, I am good."
"Ross avoiding random midnight fuck?" Peter asked, amused.
"And Tom brings a straight guy over and kisses him at midnight?" Ross shot back.
Peter looked at Ross and glanced at me. "You are straight?"
"Yes," I confidently stated. Peter now stared at me like I was a vermin. Fuck you, pretty boy! He turned to Thomas.
"Did you know?"
I didn't know if I should feel good for annoying him more or just reach my limit and get the fuck out, so I won't say or do something to him.
"Yes," Thomas said calmly. Peter looked even worse now. "I had a great chat with his fiancΓ©."
"That is pretty much over," I said, and Thomas looked at me with a slight smile.
"Since when?"
"Since I got out of a party with my friends and told them I am going to kiss someone else at midnight."
"She must have been thrilled."
"She shouldn't have come in the first place."
Thomas and I just stared at each other.
.
"Well, this is a hell of a unique New Year!" Said Ben, towering over Peter and Phil and hugging them both. Was he British? Only now, I noticed a slight accent.
Before anyone could say anything, we heard a voice calling Ross and Phil.
"Don is probably looking for us," Ross told Phil.
"Right. We should go to him. I will see you two later." Phil kissed Peter and Ben again.
"They will come with us," Thomas said to Phil. Everyone looked at him with questioning looks.
"Will we?"
"I need the basement."
They looked at me, and then Ben grinned at Phil. "Come over tomorrow, or better yet," he threw keys from his pocket to Phil. "Go to sleep in our room. We will join you when we're done."
"Man!" Ross exclaimed. "This really is a special New year!"
"What?" Phil asked him.
"You have no idea what you are just holding in your hand, man!"
"What?"
"Who am I to spoil it for you? Come!"
"Go. Enjoy the party. We will join you in a few hours." Ben said with a smirk and looked at Peter. Peter sneered at me and nodded enthusiastically to Ben.
"What is going on here?" I asked Thomas, but he only took me by the hand and led me somewhere. I didn't look, but I was sure that Ben and Peter were following us.
"Come." He led me to the back and opened a door.
.
We went down the stairs, and I was utterly speechless. Yes, the dungeon is a fitting name for this place. The floor was simple hard stone, and around the room were some things I never saw, but I could guess what are they for. It had a fascinating smell here. There was also a couch and even a bed.
My sight stopped at a rack with so many different things one could get spanked or beaten with that I didn't know if find it creepy or loved it immensely. There was too much of everything. It was hard to check it all out without walking around like at an exhibition. Damn! I would love to look around here! But with those two behind me, I didn't feel comfortable checking it out properly.
"What is in your basement?" I leaned to Thomas's side.
"I have something similar."
