He hadn't meant to. He'd always prided himself on his self-control, but this time it was just too much for him to resist. It had been so long since he'd done it; he had been so good. He tried not to think about what Blair would say if he found out. His lover's face would fall, the brilliant blue eyes would dim, and he would shake his head in denial. Blair would try to pretend that it didn't bother him, but Jim would know. And he'd feel guilty until he could find a way to make it up to Blair. In fact, he'd probably continue to feel guilty for at least a week or so after that.

But he just couldn't help himself. He told himself that Blair didn't have to find out. His lover didn't really need to know; it would just hurt him. His mind made up, Jim pushed the guilt to the very back of his mind and met the young woman's green eyes.

"One box of Cinnebons, please."
