give out and he let himself drop to the floor, panting.
    Lucas leaned in to kiss him, still touching himself. Jack could taste the slightly tangy, salty taste in Lucas’s mouth that could only have come from his release.
    “I want you as well,” Jack told his young lover after Lucas broke the kiss to let him breathe. “I want you in my mouth.” Lucas looked at him as if he was trying to gauge the honesty of that statement and then slowly raised himself until he was standing in front of Jack. He placed his hand on the wall over Jack’s head and leaned his hips forward so Jack was close enough to take him in his mouth.
    Their positions now reversed, Jack could see this wasn’t a bad vista, either. Hot water still streamed out of the showerhead, keeping them both warm against the cold tiles. Lucas placed his hand against Jack’s cheek, and the young man’s thumb stroked his bottom lip. As Jack sucked in the offered digit, he wrapped his hand around Lucas’s cock and heard the young man gasp as he coordinated the stroking and touching.

    He wanted to really taste Lucas, though, and slowly brought his stroking hand and his mouth together. As he gently took the head between his lips, he saw Lucas’s muscles strain to keep from moving forward toward the hot mouth. His eyes closed and his head tilted back, Lucas was clearly close. Jack let his tongue skim the smooth surface of the head and explored the slit, making Lucas gasp again. He looked up and saw Lucas staring at him with glazed eyes. He felt Lucas move slowly in and out of his mouth, clearly holding himself back with all his might. Then suddenly, he felt the younger man’s hand on his hair, roughly guiding him.
    “Jack-g-uh!” Lucas cried out as Jack took almost the entire length in his mouth. He could taste the tangy-saltiness of Lucas, realizing they didn’t taste exactly the same and swallowed everything the young man surrendered.
    Lucas started to sway, and Jack grabbed his young lover to keep him from falling over. The young Brit collapsed on Jack’s lap.
    “I’m sorry,” Lucas chuckled, his head on Jack’s shoulder.
    “No, you’re not,” Jack answered in the way that had become habit between them.
    “Yes, I am.” Lucas smiled a little lazily. “I should have given you a little more notice before…”
    “Before you came? I could tell you were close, Luke. You are beautiful when you come too.”
    Lucas looked at him coyly. “Well, I didn’t need much.” He passionately kissed his American lover. “You have a really nice mouth.” They both looked up as they heard a knock on the door and the call
    “Room service”. Jack looked at Lucas. “I better go get that.” Lucas nodded and got up, pulling Jack to his feet. The American stepped out of the shower and gave his lover a quick kiss, “You stay here. Both of us hanging around here naked might look a little suspicious.” Lucas turned off the shower as he watched Jack wrap a towel around his hips and walk out of the bathroom still dripping wet.

    LUCAS tried hard not to giggle. Jack had just poured soy sauce on his chest where the sternum dipped a little, and it tickled.
    “I told you it was the perfect place for that, now here, taste this.” D i p l o m a c y | 73

    Jack expertly grabbed a bit of salmon sashimi with his chopsticks and dipped it into the puddle of soy sauce before he fed it to Lucas. “Now stop moving about or we’ll have to have these sheets changed before we can sleep in them tonight!”
    Lucas couldn’t help but laugh at the seriousness of Jack’s face.
    “Who says we’ll get to sleep?”
    The American took a piece of sushi and clearly took his time coating it with the sauce before putting it in his mouth. “Promises, promises,” he answered, poking Lucas with his chopsticks. “You want some more?”
    Lucas nodded. They were both on the bed, their hair still a little wet and towels wrapped around their hips. The towels didn’t do much for decorum, but they would at least keep their minds on dinner for the time being.
    Jack reached over Lucas’s supine body to the food trolley next to the bed. He carefully chose a nice sushi roll and placed it in the centre of the soy puddle on Lucas’s chest, letting it soak up the sauce. He looked at his young lover while he moved the rice and fish roll around a bit and held it over Lucas’s mouth.
    “Just take it between your teeth.”
    Lucas opened his mouth slowly and grabbed the
