Part 3

Paul and Tim just stood there for a few moments, staring at each other. Their gazes locked on each other, their eyes silently communicating much more emotion and feeling than their words ever could.

Tim took a step forward, moving even closer to Paul so that their bodies were just inches apart. He smiled.

�I never stopped loving you Pauly.�

Paul felt his heart almost leap from his chest at the sound of Tim�s words. He had lived in hope that Tim still loved him, and now he knew it was true. He was about to reply, but Tim reached up and stopped him with a single finger across his lips.

Tim smiled down at him again, and spoke two simple words.

�I know.�

Tim moved in even closer, pressing his body against Paul�s. Paul reached up, sliding the unbuttoned shirt from Tim�s shoulders and running his hands across his smooth chest. He dropped his head, his mouth following the path of his hands. Tim let out a soft moan as Paul slid his tongue across his hardened nipple.

�Paul stop..�

Paul looked up. He had a slightly hurt look on his face.

�What�s the matter?�

Tim smiled reassuringly.

�Babe I�d love nothing more than to continue this with you. But is this really the most appropriate place?�

Paul looked around at their surroundings and immediately saw Tim�s point. He lifted his head, leaning in and giving Tim a deep, passionate kiss that gave so much but promised so much more. Paul smirked.

�We�re going to continue this later.�

�I�m holding you to that.�

Tim retrieved his shirt and jacket from the floor and slipped them back on. Paul leant down to pick up his shirt and let out a small cry.

�Fuck!�

Tim immediately was by his side again.

�You alright?�

�Yeah just my bloody shoulder.�

�Will the promise of a massage later make you feel better?�

Paul looked up and smiled.

�It will definitely help.�

Tim returned his smile and leant down and picked up Paul�s shirt and jacket from the floor, helping him to get redressed. Paul couldn�t resist letting out a contended sigh. He hadn�t realized just how much he had missed Tim, even just being with him like this.

Suddenly the main lights flickered back on and the lift shook and began to move again. Paul and Tim exchanged a look; both relieved that they had stopped when they did.

They stopped at the 15th floor and exited the lift. Tim wrapped an arm around Paul�s waist, giving him a brief hug. Paul looked up and smiled at the affection of just that simple gesture.

Paul and Tim then headed down the hallway towards the boardroom where the executives were no doubt waiting.
