[It seemed like maybe the replacement had a better head on his shoulders than Greene. Though, from what Jason had seen of the latter, that wasn't that difficult to pull off. Greene was snobby and judgmental and Jason could see the man being perfectly at ease at one of his father's galas.
It didn't endear him to the man at all. There was a reason he'd left that life as soon as he'd been able to and didn't go back to it, no matter how much easier it would be.
Smirking at Greene's retreating back, Jason turned his attention back to his would be date.]
I didn't know you had a function tonight or I would have tried to re-work my schedule.
[If he'd had enough time, he could have traded with Roy, but Roy had already made plans to take Lian to the botanical gardens. And really, who was he to deny his favorite niece time with her father? But he was there now and freedom was so close it was almost tangible.
Almost.
Wrapping his arm around Edward's waist, he started to navigate his way to the door. The dark ink that twisted up along both his arms combined with the silver in both his eyebrow and his lip cleared the path for them for the most part, but even that didn't dissuade everyone. Jason caught sight of a woman he recognized from previous nights like this one. She was smiling and heading their way, half waving as if to catch his attention and Jason remembered exactly how long the woman could talk when she got going.
He didn't let her have the chance.
He ducked his head like Edward was whispering in his ear...then laughed and tugged the older man around to face him. They hadn't talked about this and he wasn't 100% sure that he wasn't ruining their deal by overstepping, but he didn't let himself hesitate to draw the man into his arms and bow his head to kiss him.
Most people got uncomfortable when faced with public displays of affection. He was hoping that she was one of them.
Did that mean that he had to put quite so much passion and tongue into that kiss? No. But if he was only going to have one chance to kiss Edward, he was going to make it worthwhile.]
