Gullible. Kris immediately regretted sharing Nick’s secret in front of Brad. Kris could understand Brad’s misplaced loyalty to Adam but trying to blackmail Nick for sex was just wrong. Plus, Jake had probably found a very well kept secret and its discovery could be devastated to Nick. Kris felt horrible because once again he had hurt someone because he failed to recognize the repercussions of his actions.
Kris tried to get Adam to step in but he didn’t seem to think the porn thing was a big deal. In a way, Kris admired how most things just rolled off Adam’s back and how he did not worry about bad publicity. Adam was comfortable with fame in a way Kris never was and seemed to take everything in stride.
Kris watched as Adam hit the stage and begin to seduce the crowd. Even though their music was very different, Kris appreciated his talent and really enjoyed watching him. Kris felt someone next to him and became apprehensive when he noticed it was Brad.
“Still lusting after Adam, I see. Well, luckily he has found a new toy to keep him out of trouble. I actually empathize with you because I can’t compete with Nick either. I knew when I saw them in bed this morning it was just as well I wasn’t going on tour.”
Kris had seen the tabloids but hadn’t believed it. He looked at Brad, “You are full of shit. I doubt Nick would sleep with Adam.”
Brad shrugged, “Maybe it was the result of booze but trust me, bitch, they were naked in Nick’s bed looking extremely intimate. For the record, gay men don’t sleep naked with other men unless they are fucking, you know.”
Kris did not get the sense that Brad was lying and began to wonder about Nick. Maybe Nick was using Adam to get back a career in front of the cameras. After all, it was strange for a publicist to allow Adam to do a strip dance on a table and to get caught kissing the same woman. Kris didn’t want Brad to see his insecurity so he responded neutrally, “So is this your last night on tour?”
“Pretty much. I am going to spend a few days with my family and then go back to LA. I will still check in on Adam and if you hurt him I will be back here to fuck you up in a heart beat.”
Kris laughed, “Somehow you threatening to kick someone’s ass is really funny.” Nick came over looking concerned.
“Are you boys playing nice?”
Brad smiled sweetly, “Oh yeah, Pornstar. Kris here was mentioning all about your former career on the small screen. Must have been very interesting weather reports.”
Kris cringed at Brad’s statements and felt two feet tall when he saw Nick’s face go blank.
Brad continued, “Oh, was that a big secret? I’ll try to keep it to myself but I’m not too good with secrets unless I have some incentive. Let’s say, you being very, very nice to me.”
Nick looked down and then back at Brad, “You’ll keep my secret in return for sex?”
Brad smiled and nodded. Kris was seething with anger but not sure what to do. He felt awful that he had put Nick in this position especially since Nick had been really kind to him.
Nick moved closer to Brad, “I am really good with men and my lovers always leave exhausted and satisfied.” Nick ran his hand down Brad’s back and ass. Kris was getting nauseous while Brad seemed to be getting more turned on.
Nick smiled sensually, “Too bad you will never know. I think I’d rather be exposed than have to endure the boredom and disappointment of fucking you. I will never know why a man like Adam, who seems to have good taste, got involved with a putz like you.”
Brad starting turning red, “You are a real asshole, Nick. Obviously, you must not have been a very good pornstar if you are working as a publicist.”
Nick shrugged, “Brad, I like being a publicist and the label is paying me good money to do it.”
“Too bad you’ll be fired when they find out you did sex films.”
Nick laughed, “What makes you think they don’t know? It was long enough ago that no one cares. For the record, I only did a few amateur films before I got signed for a very lucrative modeling contract. Even if they did fire me, it really wouldn’t matter since I don’t work out of financial need. Like I’ve told you before, I am way, way out of your league.”
Brad was flabbergasted and obviously really pissed. Nick gave Brad a very cold smile, “Since you decided to be such a dick just now, I think when I cover your job, I’ll be sure to show Adam just how incompetent you were and how much better off he is without you as his assistant. Later, Bradley.” Nick walked away and Kris had to bite his tongue from laughing. Brad just shook his head,
“He is really annoying. He probably just fucked Adam to make me mad.” Brad walked away and Kris continued to watch Adam. He wasn’t sure what the deal was between Adam and Nick but he did know he owed Nick an apology. Kris decided to miss Adam’s exit and find Nick. He found Nick backstage talking to Jade. Kris asked to speak to Nick alone.
“I am really sorry about Brad finding out about the pornography. I had to tell Adam in case it became a scandal. I had no idea he would try to blackmail you.”
“No harm, no foul. Brad’s an ass. How did you find out? Was it leaked to the media?”
“No, my bodyguard is ex-CIA so he can find out things about people. He checked you out when you all joined the tour.”
“Good asset to have on your side. Seriously, Kris, don’t give it another thought. The label knows already and that information would only sensationalize Adam more. I’ve had to live with that mistake long enough to get past the fear of people knowing. I just wish is had been higher quality and I was a better actor.” Nick laughed.
“Thanks for not making me feel worse, you really are a nice guy.”
Adam came backstage. Nick smiled, “Excuse me, I have to cater to Adam’s whims and show him what a shitty PA Brad is.” Nick went by Adam and Kris just went by his band. He purposely became involved in a deep conversation with Cale to avoid Adam. Kris noticed Adam glancing over a lot but fought the urge to acknowledge him or return the attention. Kris did not want to hurt Nick after he was just so gracious. If Nick and Adam had hooked up, Kris would let it run its course before pursuing Adam again.

Adam came offstage with his adrenaline pumping from his performance and his body taut with anticipation of being with Kris. He immediately sought Kris out and was disappointed when he saw him with his band. Adam tried to get Kris’ attention to go somewhere private but Kris seemed to intentionally ignore his signals. After a few minutes of perseverance, Adam understood once again Kris was pulling back. You’re hot and you’re cold, you’re up and you’re down…that song should have been written for Kris. Adam sat down by himself to lick his wounds and wallow in self pity. Nick came over with a bottle of water.
“Good show. Here, make sure you rehydrate before you start drinking the hard stuff.”
“Thanks, where’s Brad?”
“Probably making a martini or making someone miserable.”
Adam smiled, “Brad can really be a good guy. He just isn’t used to not being adored. Most men find him irresistible so he is acting weird because he is confused by your brush-offs.”
“If you say so. I think trying to blackmail me for sex crosses the line.”
“Yeah, I thought he might but figured you would tell him to fuck off so I didn’t get involved. So, how many porns are out there?
Nick smiled, “Not too many. I did only three films and some racy photo shoots before I got a break.”
“You aren’t worried they will come out. My fans tend to be a bit fanatical and everyone assumes I am shagging my staff.”
“I am not proud of some of the things I have done but I can own up to them. I don’t like living lies. That is why I like being your publicist, you are open and honest regardless of consequences and I respect that.”
Adam smiled, “Good because I won’t change and personally I think a shady past makes you even more attractive.”
“Apparently, Brad thinks so too.” They both laughed. Adam really liked Nick and thought he was beautiful. He wished he could control chemistry and make himself hot for Nick. Instead, he was stuck burning for a manic, closeted, cock-tease. That in itself was fucked up and indicative of the self-sabotaging shit that is so prevalent in his life. Adam looked over at Kris wistfully and then turned back to Nick,
“So do we have another club gig after this show?”
“No, thank God. I’m too old to party two nights in a row.”
“Nah, you are probably just out of practice. It is Brad’s last night so we are compelled to do some kind of send off.”
“Brad leaving is enough to perk me up to celebrate. Let’s give him an appropriate send off.”
Brad insisted on going to wildest alternative dance club in town. Adam invited everyone on the tour warning it was a risqué nightclub. Adam was surprised Kris agreed to go even after his band declined. Adam’s own band went since there only requirement for a night out was booze. Adam, Brad and his band dressed appropriately in leather while Nick had on off white cargo pants with a beige sweater and Kris wore jeans and a black button down shirt. Kris at least was trying but Nick seemed to just not care.
“It is my going away party so you should at least try to look fabulous. It is a nightclub not a café. You have a hot body so you should be in skin tight leather fuck me pants and shirtless.”
“Well, after all due consideration…no. Come on, party boy let’s go send you off.”
They got to the club and Adam loved the ambiance. It was very ornate inside and people were dressed up in lots of leather, lace and metal. Adam glanced at Kris and Jake and tried not to smile at their expressions. They grabbed a couple tables near the dance floor. Adam sat down and was pleased to see Kris sit next to him.
“Are you OK with this club?”
“Not really my thing but I am all for new experiences.”
Adam tried not to get sucked into Kris’ cuteness. He tried to remember Kris’ manic behavior and game playing but all he could focus on was his alluring brown eyes and tight ass. Kris whispered to Adam,
“So this is what it is like in a gay club?” Kris motioned toward two guys making out very aggressively a few feet away.
Luckily, it didn’t take Kris long to be an asshole, “Yeah, Kris, every gay club is exactly the same everywhere in the world. Be careful when you go to the bath room, because all gay men fuck in there.”
Kris looked at Adam confused and just shrugged. Unfortunately Brad had overheard Adam’s response.
“What’s the matter, straight boy, is the club to gay for you?”
Nick pushed Brad, “Just because it is your party, it doesn’t mean you get to be an asshole all night.”
Brad glared at Nick, “I hope this club does not upset your MO of getting Adam drunk in order to pick up chicks together?”
“My Modus Operandi? One time doesn’t even make it predictable much less my ‘MO’. Speaking of not being predictable maybe you can go meet someone and get laid before they recognize your tiresome personality.”
“Fuck you. You are the only person I know that doesn’t like me.”
“Count again, Brad.” Kris added with a fake smile.
“You don’t count because I am cockblocking you. Besides, both you and Nick are basically straight so neither is an appropriate judge of my fabulousness.”
“If you think I am so straight, why do you keep wasting your time flirting with me? Doesn’t that seem like a total waste of time?”
Brad shrugged, “Adam does it with Kris and he seems to like it well enough. I figured I’d give it a shot too.”
Adam decided to just ignore the comment. A very intimidating bald, tattooed, pierced man approached. He was extremely buff and looked like a serious biker slash skinhead type. He walked up to the table and stared at Nick lustfully, “Do you want to dance pretty, boy?”
Adam sat up straighter and Jake looked to be preparing himself for a fight. Nick looked at the guy and flashed his Hollywood smile,
“I’d loved to.” Nick got up and followed the guy to the dance floor. Everyone’s jaw dropped as they watched Nick get led to the dance floor by Biker Bob and then proceeded to let himself be manhandled.
Adam recovered first, “I totally didn’t see that coming.”
“That is his type? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I would not have pegged him for a bottom. There you go, Adam, he is more your type.”
Adam noticed Kris tense up, “Brad, I thought you told me Adam already fucked Nick. Wouldn’t he know his type by now?”
Brad looked at Kris like he was a moron and responded slowly, “No, Kris, I said I walked in on them in bed. I can’t help it if you always assume the worst of Adam.”
That certainly explained the cold shoulder after his performance. For the 100th time, Adam was happy Brad was taking a hiatus from the being his PA. Adam looked at Kris, “You thought I was sleeping with Nick?”
“Well…yeah I guess I did. I was hoping it wasn’t true but Brad…”
“Is that why you blew me off after my set?”
“I’m sorry. I just…I’m a jerk.”
“You really are but at least you are a hot jerk.” Adam smiled at Kris and then glared at Brad, “Why did you do that, Brad? You can stop being overprotective now.”
“Really? Because when this asshole fucks you over again who are you going to call? You always let people take advantage. I should know better than anyone. Now, get off my case. It is my goodbye party and I am having to watch you flirt with Kris and Nick dry hump that biker freak. Needless to say, this is kind of a shitty night for me so don’t compound it by scolding me.”
Adam laughed at Brad’s perception of the night. “Hey Babe, it could be worse, at least you are wearing a cool outfit.” Brad gave him the bird.
“Excuse me but I need to heal my ego and that hot man has been staring at me. So if straight boy turns you down, don’t expect a pity fuck from me.” Brad went over to another table.
Adam laughed and then turned to Kris who was smiling too.
“I’m sorry for assuming you were with Nick. It seemed plausible and I wouldn’t have blamed you for moving on. Nick is obviously a lot more comfortable with his sexuality.”
Adam looked over and saw Nick and the biker guy being quite lewd on the dance floor. Adam hadn’t realized Nick liked aggressive men, maybe that had been the missing element that would have tempted him. No, he was screwed and stuck lusting after Kris even though it meant at best he would be Kris’ dirty secret.
“You want to dance, don’t you?”
Adam nodded, “Do you mind?”
“No, but I am not that good.”
Adam wasn’t sure he heard Kris correctly, “You are willing to go on a public dance floor and dance with me?”
“Yeah but don’t expect me to be as uninhibited as Nick.”
Adam smiled and pulled Kris on the dance floor. Somewhere in the back of Adam’s mind, he recognized this would probably end badly. As usual, Adam’s desire to touch Kris was at the forefront clouding the rest. Fuck it, I may as well enjoy it before the wreckage ensues. Adam pulled Kris close to him and tried to show some restraint dancing with him. Kris, however, was making it difficult by putting his hands on Adam’s hips and staring at him lustfully. Adam felt himself get hard as Kris pushed his own erection against Adam’s leg.
“I am like a dog in heat around you. I am not usually like this and it scares me.”
Adam looked at Kris, “Scares me too especially when it usually doesn’t end well.”
“I’m pretty buzzed, right now. Let’s go back to my hotel room. I want to be with you and I think I have enough liquid courage to follow through.”
Adam stiffened. So Kris needed to be three sheets to the wind to fuck him. Nice. Would he wake up with the urge to gnaw off his arm to get away in the morning. Fuck this. Adam turned and walked away leaving Kris on the dance floor. He went by Brad who was working on hooking up with a guy. Brad looked over at Adam and rolled his eyes,
“You have got to be kidding me. He fucked you over already?”
“I want to leave.”
“So the party is over for all of us, Diva?”
Adam was hurt by Kris’ words and wanted to get even. He saw Kris looking over upset. Adam reacted by pulling Brad toward him,
“Maybe the party is just getting started.” Adam kissed Brad long and deep.
Brad pulled away, “I told you know pity fucks tonight. Stop fucking up my game. Go bother Nick he’s apparently a twink and exercising seriously bad taste. Go molest him. I have a good thing going here.”
Brad climbed on the guy he was hitting on’s lap and proceeded to make out with him. Adam was annoyed that is attempt to get even was foiled. He decided to follow Brad’s advice and go find Nick. Adam knew it was a pathetic gesture but he was drunk and hurt.
