The straight version, for my heterosexual homies...

To Megan, Jasper always seemed like a Coldplay song. Smooth, made up of sounds both recognizable and sounds less obvious, leaving whoever heard them wondering how they were made. Of course, that was an extremely vague and simple even more confusing description of a dark haired mystery of a man. Granted, it was about all she could gather about him.
She'd been working as a bartender in southern Vermont for a just over a year now. She made a lot of money as a bartender, not because she was particularly good at mixing drinks or showy at all, she wasn't even that great at making conversation. She was pretty sure she owed it all to her winning cleavage and great ass.
The first time she's ever seen the aforementioned enigma wrapped in a sexy suit was her first Friday shift during training. Fridays at the thorn, her place of work, meant that the people who are serious about drinking were all piled in together to watch the latest games and check out the women (and men)who were just out for the occasional one night stand, or looking for a genuine connection. Jasper was not one of those people. He rolled in at 9:40 something with the swagger that suggested, no, bragged, that he had already downed a few beers and was looking for something a little stronger.
Megan remembered her friend Sarah, an acquaintance at the time, served him a shot of gin, and he waited an entire 10 minutes before downing it, and confidently walking over to woman who was clearly one of the sort looking for a "genuine connection," and leaving with her moments later - the something stronger he been after.
Megan had been so turned on by his confidence that she went home that night and thought of him as she watched porn and touched herself.
The second time Megan saw Jasper she was off training, and it was her first weekend shift without a supervisor. The place had been packed, and Sarah left early to drive down to New York with her boyfriend. In the rush of the demand for drinks, she hadn't even noticed him walk in she turned to see who else was in need of a top off and cut the dark eyes of a stranger to you to go enough to just a few weeks earlier and blushed. His facial expression did not change, but somehow he look more smug at her red cheeks.
Megan pushed the long piece of hair behind her ear and walked a few steps and nearer to him. "What can I get ya?" she said, trying to sound as even toned as possible.
"Beer, please," he said, surprising her with his polite manner and heavy voice. She handed him a house brew and decided to herself that if he said "Get down on the floor and beg for this dick, please," she would not think twice about doing it. He hummed his thanks, and she added to herself she would do just about anything to hear that sound in the dark of her bedroom.
As she tended to her next customer, a very, very drunk old man who liked to make jokes about her boobs, she watched him survey the crowd, zero in on a woman with great legs, down his drink, and then walk over to his pick of the night, whisper a few words to her that clearly were irrefutable, and lead her out the back door to the street, where she lost sight.
Over the next few months, she got over here talking directly to her patrons to make conversation (including to an extent Jasper) and learned his name, where he was from (New York, New York) and the relative time of when he moved to Winston, only a year or two before herself.
One night, Sarah, who had at this point become her best friend, brought Megan and her self out in search of some stiff "drinks," she said with a well-placed pause, as Sarah and her boyfriend were over. She was in need of some rebound cock. So she donned some slutty black dress and sleek smoky eyes, The perfect attraction concoction for the men looking for one-night stands. Megan had opted for a dark blue dress and some sparkly shit for her eyes. They agreed to stop at the thorn for a pre-night drink to prime themselves for the nightclub Sarah was excited to go to.
They walked into the Thorn and saw Murphy working the counter and waved. Megan looked around and caught sight of a tall guy with dark hair and a familiar swagger coming in through the back, heading towards the bar. Sarah, knowing about Megan's little obsession with the guy, pushed her towards the bar with a happy smirk. Megan had suspected from the beginning of the night that Sarah was interested in getting more than just herself laid.
Megan half walked half stumbled over to the bar and ordered herself a shot of whiskey. She grabbed the shot glass and put it up to her mouth.
"You work here," said a familiar voice as she was downing her shot, choking on it in the process. It was a statement, not a question. She turned towards Jasper's voice and had to look up to make eye contact, as he was very close , but not close enough to be touching her. She lost her breath for a moment, but found it again and said, "Yeah, I do."
He was looking down into her face, focusing on her eyes intensely. He glanced behind her at Sarah and said, "Did you come with her?" Megan turned to see, though she already knew he was looking at Sarah. Dejectedly, she turned back, nodding. But he was closer to her then, and he whispered into her ear, "Think she'd mind if you left with me?"
God, that's hot, Megan thought to herself. The tall man leaning comfortably over her stared her down darkly, and she let out an embarrassing throaty hum to accompany the nodding of her head, yes.
Jasper looked down at her body, clearly and unabashedly raking her with his eyes. He raised his eyebrows as his eyes traveled back up and Megan wanted to drop her jaw (and her panties) right there.
Jasper started towards the back exit which led to an alley that hobos liked to use for much less sensual uses, but once they got out there, it seemed to Megan like the Perfect place to bang a hot stranger.
Before she really knew what was happening, Jasper's hands had grabbed her waist and pushed her up against the brick wall of the alley. She seemed to have no air in her lungs, which was fine, because Jasper's face was so close to hers that if she'd breathed she knew it would disturb the stillness that made it's sudden and unwelcome appearance.
