DARKE

W e eat dinner, having an easy conversation. Then I had to tell him something serious.

“My parents didn’t accept me as gay either when I came out,” I say, my voice serious.

Bobby puts his fork down. “You too, beast?”

His eyes lock onto mine, filled with surprise and curiosity. I nod, taking a sip of my beer before continuing. “Yeah, it was tough. They’re traditional, old-school. They wanted me to marry a woman, have kids, the whole nine yards.”

I put my bottle down, my gaze drifting off for a moment as memories flood back. “But I couldn’t pretend to be someone I’m not. I had to be true to myself, even if it meant losing their approval.”

Bobby’s expression softens, and he reaches out, placing his hand on mine. “I’m sorry, Darke. That must have been really hard for you.”

I turn my hand over, intertwining our fingers. “It was, but I’m past it now. I’ve got you, and that’s all that matters.”

Bobby smiles, his eyes shining with emotion. “I’m glad you have me, beast. I’m not going anywhere.”

We finished our meal in companionable silence. Fully satisfied, I leaned back.

“That was incredible, Darke,” Bobby complimented.

I chuckled, a contented burp escaping my lips. “Glad you enjoyed it, little prince.”

Bobby rolled his eyes playfully. “Such class, beast,” he teased, grinning.

We shared a comfortable silence for a moment before I suggested, “Want to watch a movie? I have a few options.”

Bobby nodded eagerly. “Sounds good. What do you have in mind?”

I stood up and started browsing my streaming services. “How about a rom-com? I’ve got ‘The Proposal’ or ‘Crazy Rich Asians’.”

Bobby’s eyes lit up. “Definitely ‘Crazy Rich Asians’! Let’s watch that.”

We watch the movie together on the couch, but I’m distracted by the man who I love, sitting next to me.

Do it Darke. Just do it.

I turn the TV off. Bobby surprised looks at me as I crush my lips on his. He moans as I lay him back. My towering frame over him, kissing on his neck.

“No more playing nice guy, little prince. I need my cock in you. Now.” I growl, between kisses.

Bobby’s eyes flutter closed as I kiss his neck, his moans growing louder. I rip off his shirt, Bobby tossing it over the side of the couch. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer as I continue to devour his skin. My hands roam his body, feeling every curve and contour.

“Drake…. I need you…,” he whispers, in bliss.

I lift my head, gazing into his eyes. They’re dark with desire, and I can see the passion burning within him. “I couldn’t focus on the movie,” I whisper, my voice husky with need. “All I could think about was you.”

Bobby’s lips curve into a seductive smile. “I was thinking the same thing, beast,” he replies, his voice barely above a whisper.

I claim his lips again, our kiss deepening as we lose ourselves in the moment. Our bodies press together, the tension between us palpable.
