the table had all moved closer to where they were. He frowned.
    Robert and Alex were beside each other. Alex made a twirling motion of his fingers. Miguel, Alejandro, Malik, and Hector leaned next to each other, smirks on their faces. The rest of the poker crew were spread out around them, all staring. Bernie went to turn, but Tomas caught his hands, holding Bernie facing him. He didn’t want Bernie to get nervous. With the yahoos watching them, he would.
    “So show me what you can do,” Tomas challenged him.
    Bernie stiffened, his pale green eyes narrowing. His lips curled into a sly smile. Uneasiness gripped Tomas. Bernie started to move. Tomas’s mouth dropped open. The gracefulness of Bernie’s movements made it seem as if he didn’t have any bones in his body. Bernie rolled his hips. He exuded sex. Bernie partially lowered his lids over those captivating eyes. In a slow glide, he moved into Tomas’s body. The height of his lanky frame was a match of Tomas’s own six-foot-three, brawny body. A slender finger lifted Tomas’s chin, closing his mouth. Bernie leaned into the side of his face. His slightly curly, dark-brown hair brushed the side of Tomas’s face. Tomas stifled a shiver.
    “Aren’t you going to dance?” Bernie’s soft voice sounded much more seductive than Tomas remembered.
    Tomas gulped. Bernie’s hands slid around his waist and down his hips. He gripped Tomas and moved against his body. Shaking out of his stupor, Tomas shifted and moved with him. Bernie’s soft sigh tickled the side of Tomas’s face. Tomas’s cock went rock hard. Pulling back slightly, Tomas moaned as Bernie’s hands tightened on his hips, pulling him back against him. Giving in to his silent demand, Tomas moved against him. He felt the movement of Bernie’s cock. It was a delicious friction between them as they danced. The herbal scent of Bernie’s shampoo and soap surrounded them.
    With a gulp, Tomas put his hands on Bernie’s shoulders. Through the cotton of his T-shirt against his fingertips, Tomas could feel the muscles in Bernie’s shoulders. It was startling to realize Bernie had muscles. He was so gangly, and wore such baggy clothes, that Tomas hadn’t even realized it. Bernie rolled his hips in a motion that made Tomas’s cock jerk and his balls go tight.
    Jerking away, Tomas said in a hoarse tone, “Enough of the lesson, kid.”
    “Not a kid. And thanks for the lesson.” Bernie smirked.
    He walked away, a sway in his hips. His ass looked fuller in his baggy pants. Tomas licked his lips. Raising his head, Tomas scowled as Robert and Alex slapped Bernie on the back. He turned away, pushed through the crowd, and went to the bar. Leaning on it, he waited his turn. He ordered from one of the bartenders and brooded as he waited for his beer.
    “You and Bernie looked good out there,” a melodious voice said.
    “Don’t you have something else you should be doing?” Tomas scowled at Mackenzie Hannigan, the owner of Bacchus Sloan.
    “Nope.” Mackenzie put a beer on the bar in front of him.
    He opened the gate to the bar and came out, leaning next to Tomas. Mackenzie opened his bottle of water and took a drink.
    “So what? The kid can dance,” Tomas said.
    “He’s not a kid,” Mackenzie pointed out.
    “He keeps saying that.”
    “And I don’t think others see him that way.” Mackenzie sounded amused.
    Tomas glanced up sharply. He growled when he spotted Bernie dancing with two men. They were all over him. Tomas took a step. A hand settled on his shoulder. He glanced from it to Mackenzie’s face.
    “I don’t want my place to be busted up.” Mackenzie’s tone was mild, but Tomas heard the clear warning.
    “I wouldn’t do that,” Tomas said, defending himself.
    Mackenzie gave him a look.
    “Well, unless you’re with me.” Tomas smiled.
    “Those were the days, buddy.” Mackenzie laughed, his dark green eyes twinkling.
    “Are you two plotting trouble again?” Alejandro asked.
    “Count us
