Zane nodded slowly and decided that was the best he could do for now, at least on that topic He still had a cranky and worked-up partner who needed so to a map of the proeted i--Zane could hear the ht not be a better choice Still, they"d walk past the clubs, check them out He made note of a couple places and then steered Ty in the direction of the music

"What?" Ty finally asked as Zane led hiht up,"

Zane announced as they descended a wide double staircase

"What do you mean, entertainment?" Ty asked suspiciously as he looked back at the steps "Are we headed down to the clubs?"

"Yes," Zane answered as he glanced to his side to look at Ty He still caught hi most of the time That obscene bleached-blond hair

"I don"t know, man," Ty said apprehensively as he pulled Zane closer and lowered his voice He was having troublethe nuances of the accent Zane was surprised he"d"It"s usually all crowds and strobe lights and people touching you where your gun"s supposed to be in these places I don"t go out dancing unless I know no one"s going to come out of the ith a knife at h a et on board, chances of that happening are lower than usual, despitethe curve," Zane said He squeezed Ty close and s your back," he added quietly

"You went through security, and you’re packing," Ty re?" he added in a surprised voice

Zane senuinely as they reached the botto over to buet to go nearly as often as he used to, and not at all sinceto Baltimore; he hadn"t had a chance to scope out the clubs since he was spending his evenings with Ty When Zane had worked in Miah he"d also had the excuse of working Clubs in Mia

"I didn"t know that," Ty ed "I did tell you about the square-dancing," he said under his breath "Who in their right ?"

"That"s entirely different!" Ty laughed as they got closer to the pounding beat of the otten a sh him as they neared the entrance of one of the clubs The name Neptune was scribbled in purple neon over the double door, and velvet ropes blocked the entrance The crowd beyond writhed in the diet me all sweaty and worked up, then take me back to the cabin?" Ty asked him, his tone placid

"Oh, it may not have been reed wholeheartedly If he had a choice in his night"s companion, he"d much rather have the aroused and pliable Ty from this afternoon than the cranky, fractious ly He led Zane into the club, the bouncers letting theht argue differently, but he kne to use his looks when he needed to

He"d also been right about the strobe lights, but it wasn"t too bad

The club was on the small side but remarkably full There were tiered dance floors on three different levels and tables surrounding then of holiday decorations The bar ith theround floor, and Zane pointed Ty in that direction, hoping he"d get so, even if it wasn"t alcohol

Ty didn"t hesitate, apparently having made his decision after his brief discussion with Zane earlier He let go of Zane and cut his way through the crowd As Zane watched hio, he could see people in the club, bothto take a second look at Ty as he e to preen as people noticed, but then he remembered he didn"t have to stop himself--Corbin would flaunt his husband for all he orth So he just slid a hand into his pocket to wait, knowing full well Ty was coood word for it, Zane figured And as he saw Tyhis way back toward hi called possessive, either

Despite his protests about the dangers of the crowd, Ty was already sh the mass of people In order to do it, a person had to shift with the rhythm of the music or be knocked around for their efforts Ty did this expertly Zane suspected he"d spent his fair share of tiined the type of place Ty would haunt would have fewer strobe lights and h the throng, shifting his hips or rolling his shoulders, was a beautiful thing, Zane reflected, and his body agreed Ty would look even better dancing His streamlined body was practicallywidely, holding his drink up out of the throng Bodies moved around them in time with the beat of the music It had no words that Zane could discern, drowned out by the bass It was just as well It made it easier to concentrate on the thu up his heart rate, and for now, that hat Zane was interested in He jerked his head in the direction of the center of the dance floor and raised an eyebrow in question

Ty took a long drink fro an arh to speak to him It was i bodies, with theby default They didn"t actually have to move closer to the dance floor in order to dance because the mob absorbed them

"This is a first for uy before On purpose, anyway"

Zane smirked and slid his hands down Ty"s back to spread across his ass and subtly pull him nearer, not that anyone would see it for the crowd Zane wasn"t ht he"d have a chance to dance with Ty at all; he didn"t exactly seem the type for a moonlit sway on the aft deck with the sht before

And they certainly couldn"t do this in Balti his body against Zane"s as theyand writhing indiscri with the beat
