Mm, I thought I'd be able to avoid it this time, or I would have told you. [He huffed, annoyed he'd underestimated his employer's need to force these gatherings on him despite his distaste.] I've been here since before any of them turned up today, but that's still not enough to get me out of this waste of time.
[He forced the sulky look off his face as Jason wrapped an arm around him, and they made their way towards the door. It was easier to forget his irritation with the looks that most of his coworkers turned their way, looks that only encouraged Edward to smirk and press tighter against the younger man's side. It didn't matter that Jason had only come for the promised payment; he was getting Edward out of there, and that was all that mattered.
Although the opportunity to press himself against the solid wall of muscle that was his supposed boyfriend wasn't so bad either. It had been a while since Edward had had time for anything of the sort, be it a one-night stand or actually dating. It was frustrating to realise how badly he'd missed casual contact like this. But so long as Jason didn't know, he figured he could indulge a little.
His good mood abruptly soured when he caught sight of one of the wittering idiots that made up management approaching them. He was going to be stuck there for another hour at least if someone didn't-
Jason tugged him around, pulling him closer and before he could ask why there was a pair of lips pressed against his own.
Edward pressed into the kiss immediately, mouth opening at the first brush of Jason's tongue. This was another thing he'd missed, even as, in the back of his mind, he recognised the strategy for what it was. Jason was making a good show, and it would be a shame to waste the effort.
It was too easy to lose himself in the kiss, at least until a voice called from nearby-] Get a room already!
[Pulling away, Edward ignored the heat he could feel in his cheeks, keeping his eyes on Jason as he tugged them towards the door again.] Yes, I think we should before you give me any more ideas.
[The plan had been a success as no one stopped them as he dragged Jason quickly out to the elevator and down to the carpark. He only released the younger man when he'd dragged Jason over to where he could see the distinctive motorcycle parked. Edward came to a halt beside it, forcing himself to turn and smirk at Jason like he usually would.]
An expert rescue as usual. I should have called you in earlier.
