It's strange, the way Jack touches him; for all the lewd promise in his voice, the tips of his fingers are so light as to barely be touching at all. It's gentle, caressing, as if James was something he might break if he isn't careful with him. It feels... nice, but it's unexpected.
Equally unexpected is the way Jack pulls away after that kiss, even more chaste and unprepossessing than James's had been. James casts a slightly confused look up at him, before shaking his head and getting to his own feet- with perhaps slightly less grace than Jack. Every time James thinks he knows what to expect, Jack changes the rules on him; weirdly enough, he's rather beginning to enjoy it.
So he cocks his head at Jack, considering for a moment, before bringing a hand up under his chin and drawing him in for a kiss. A proper kiss this time, his tongue slipping out to taste the liquor-flavoured heat of Jack's mouth, something deep and lingering. When he pulls away, he gives Jack a little smile, soft and only slightly mocking.
'That it does,' he agrees. 'Are you suggesting that the evening is coming to an end?'
