It was impressive Nicky could stand. That was a lot of alcohol for him. Booker had expected him to fall over right away. Still, he wasn't going to let Nicky try the stairs himself.

He glanced over at Joe and considered him and then considered Nicky. Alright, when force didn't work Booker only had one other skill and that was charm.

"Nicolo." Booker gently cupped his face in his hands and pressed a tender kiss to the corner of his mouth. "Lean a little on Joe and me, won't you? Just for the stairs. It's a little dark."

Booker took his hands and tugged him towards the stairs. He looked at Joe to make sure the other man got behind Nicky. The two of them could seduce Nicky up the stairs. "I want to curl up with you again. Let me pet your hair and listen to your heartbeat in bed?"

Actually, those things sounded really nice.
