The way that Kyle left was so abrupt, I still couldn't wrap my head around it. And when morning comes it still feels strange knowing that he actually left us.
It has been three days and we haven't been receiving any news from him. We called, texted, and we even searched his things."Do you think he's serious?""Honestly, I don't know, Andrew. Should I even be here? I hated him for doing this."We barely sleep, we cuddled and said nothing. Each busy with our thoughts."I don't think you should go, but I don't want to be selfish and tell you that I need you."She stepped closer and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her and sighed."How's your interview? are you taking the job?""I don't know, should I?""Peyton, I know you haven't sold your apartment and you're keeping it for this kind of reason exactly.""I hate that you turn out to be this nice, I have one foot out the door and you'r"Wade, why is the black SUV still parked there. Don't tell me you owe people money again?" "Just go back to your life, Kyle. I can manage, you're the smart one. You're living your life with your boyfriend, and when are you going to tell me that you're gay?"It has been almost a week since I got back to our family home. Wade, my younger brother has been struggling with his job keeping up with my dad's old garage as a mechanic. And combined with his gambling habit, it's a recipe for a disaster. "Why don't you sell the shop, rent out the house and move away from here. You can always go back to school?" "I wish I have the brain, but I'm more of a muscle guy..." Wade and I would get along when we don't have money issues between us. "We're brothers how much different do you think we are? you should shave your beard and cover your tats and enroll back to school.""When are you going to introduce me to your boyfriend? or ar
"You should at least text, did you know I stayed up all night waiting for your call?"He was really upset when I saw him touching his beard repeatedly and pacing back and forth. "Uh...sorry?" I didn't know what his problem was but I had never seen him this upset before."Hey, is everything okay? who's the woman from last night?""I'm working some stuff out, and she's part of it. But now is not the best time for you to go back here actually. I'm...in a bit of a tight spot."He took bottled water from the fridge and drink half of it as if he was really parched. "What do you mean?" "The woman from last night...she's with the good guys, this should blow off in a couple of weeks. But if you're staying here I need to know where your whereabouts. You can't just go missing on me."I rest my back to the kitchen counter and look at him intensely. "Okay, now you're scaring me. Are you okay? do you ne
It was almost ten in the evening when I received a call from Chris telling me that he's en route to our meet-up point. The PI wouldn't tell me what's going on but I know something bad was happening.The tension had me pick up a pack of cigarettes, I lit one and took a long dragged, the familiar feel eases me a bit. Minutes later I was still resting my back to the side of my car smoking while waiting for my guy. "...He's hospitalized, someone beat him up badly. I managed to pull his hospital records, it'll cost you, but he's guarded by cops. According to my source, they're pissed with Kyle's brother for talking to the cops."Chris showed me pictures of Kyle's, X-rays, and the complete hospital charts that I can't even understand."Mexican cartel." He added when I took another drag of my cigarette. "I should get him back,""It's best for him.""We should leave tonight." He nodded and didn't ask further when I g
It was day five and Kyle looked bored already. Although he had started his online classes, he didn't leave his apartment aside to visit mine. Wade called him last night and check up on him. His bruises still looked painful, but he's healing nicely."Andrew, you can leave me. Go to campus, I'll be just fine." He can walk better and was moving around the apartment, training himself to get better sooner. Although Peyton kept on telling him to rest, I could see that he's been yearning to go out. But with his bruised face and eye, he knows he'd attract attention. "Tomorrow okay? Peyton is at work today and she'll kill me if she knows I leave you alone for hours. That woman can be such a momma bear, I don't want to anger her." Kyle would still be hurting when he laughed, I would refrain from making jokes, but sometimes I forgot and he would groan when his face hurts."You're killing me here, dude.""I'm sorry bab
I thought having sex with Andrew would make the feelings go away, instead, it was making me feel so much worse.Fucking another guy and betraying them were not my greatest moments. I don't get why I was so easily swooned by the idea of taking my path, but at that moment I was feeling like shit. "I need to tell you about what happened." I rest my back to the headboard."You're making me worry, but okay," The last couple of days I've been trying to man up and tell him about Ryan. The going back and forth and hearing him making love with Peyton when they think I was sleeping was slowly building my anxiety. Wade had told me to go see someone, but I told him that I don't believe in telling strangers about my fucked up life. Though deep down I know he's right."I had sex with someone." "Is this why you want me to be with you? are you trying to shake the guilt?" he gets out of bed and started getting dressed.Andre
I was feeling better a week later, my bruises were almost gone. I was getting back to school again and Andrew had scheduled my appointments with a psychiatrist. He was adamant that he paid for my therapy and I was letting him have his way. The guilt was still there and lately, I have been saying yes to both of them almost on everything. But that day I was nervous when Andrew said that his parents were in town and told me that he wants to them to meet us.I talked to Peyton about it earlier over the phone and she said not to worry, she has been very chill about everything since she was owning me with her strap-on and liking the control she has over me."Andrew, are you sure about this?" I brought up the issue again once he entered the apartment, I was cooking dinner for my lovers and Andrew just walked in, looking hot with his slightly damp hair and smelling fresh from his after gym shower."Babe, my parents are cool, you have
The next morning I was enjoying my weekend, relaxing and cuddling to Kyle's side. Andrew was already gone to have breakfast with his parents, they're going back home in the afternoon. "So, about last night,""What about it?" he gives me a cup of coffee then drinks his and rest back on the headboard. "Are you okay? I saw you with Andrew's mom, you looked a bit...""I'm fine, baby. I have issues and I'm handling it,"Kyle was once again out of my reach, I've been trying to get close to him and lately, it has been a success and failure at the same time."I'm sorry, I just thought,"I kept on thinking, maybe I was coming on too strong at him, but Andrew assured me over and over again that it was all in my head that Kyle loves me as much as he did towards Andrew.The only way I can get through to Kyle was sexually, and I was at a stage where I needed him to want me as someone that he can talk to. And with Andrew go
It was not until a couple of months later when anxiety hits me."Hey, I'm just on my way to meet you." Kyle called saying that he was on his way back from the appointment with the psychiatrist. I still couldn't believe that we were having the best time since we started our relationship. We have met Andrew's parents, I was getting comfortable with my job, Andrew and Kyle were busy with their studies. Everything can't be more perfect as I was embracing my sexuality and getting comfortable with their companion.Andrew and I were happy that Kyle hasn't craved anyone else and he has been the perfect boyfriend to both of us. "Kyle, yeah we should meet up back at the apartment, I have called Andrew and he's on his way there right now.""Baby, what's the matter? you've been weird for the past couple of days, is everything okay at work?""Yeah, work is great, let me just meet both of you at the apartment?"Obviously,
Two Years Later"I think I've changed my mind about him. He's not that bad. Tara loves him, he's actually good with her better than that gold-digging bitch, Phoebe. And I've never seen our son so happy..."I couldn't believe what I'm hearing when I unintentionally passed through the family lounge when I was about to inform Jasper's mom that lunch is served. Jasper, Tara, and I were at his mom's for our weekly Sunday brunch at his family home. It was the only time we spend time at his mom nowadays, though she would go to our house and play with Tara or pick her up from preschool then spend the whole afternoon with her.Last year I had finally adopted her, we have been a real family with her legally as my daughter and she calls me daddy Ben. I have been involved in her preschool activities, and be the perfect house husband for Jasper during the day and his collared lover at night. We have progressed to handcuffs, ankle restraints, and blindfolds. Sex had nev
Jasper's POVLast night I admit that I had planned everything for Benji, down to the black leather collar. I need to take his mind from the event, and by putting him on my collar he knows that he'd be the only one on my mind that night. Obviously, it worked, and I was half-hard for my husband as I introduced him to my associates. It went bad the moment Phoebe joined us at our table with Dexter. Though I know Dexter won't cause any more trouble since I sit him down and explained his future in the firm should he keeps on harassing my Ben. The man tried to deny it, but he eventually relent. Phoebe on the other hand blabbered about how she wanted to get close to Tara, but she will be my problem for another day. I know she'll back away once I offer her more alimony. Anything for my Ben.Now, it's the morning after and it's time for me to lay it all for him. I need to let him know that he'll always be on my mind."I know I've been b
Another office party, I definitely didn't want to go but I am his now and I can't hideout forever. This would be the third office gathering that I rejected after months of being married to Jasper. At some stage, I need to face his colleagues and let them know he has a husband now. Yup, not awkward at all.Married life. Adjustments. Sacrifices.The mantra slowly lose its effect on me as I popped another pill looking at my reflection in the mirror. I look good, Jasper had sent me to his tailor to get a tux fitted for me. Not that I don't have enough of them from my whoring days, but this was a very fine tuxedo and I do look extra good in it. And I felt even better when I saw Jasper looking at me with a gleam in his eyes. "You look like the perfect trophy husband." He was to my front, put his hand on my hip and his other hand to my neck, keeping me still as he lay a sweet kiss on my lips. I leaned in closer as his hand move from my waist to my back, holding
There was something about his mom, the way she looked at me and how sometimes she treated me nicely while some other times she would just blatantly ignore me.We have been staying at his parents' for two weeks, two whole goddamn weeks...I was trying to be patient, trying to understand that Jasper needed this, that he needed time with his mom. I tried to get away from the house whenever I can, but I could not leave Tara for long. I love her as she was my own and whenever Allie would text me and told me that she was asking for me I'd hurriedly come to his parents'. Jasper and I were doing great, well, he as far as he knows we were great, splendid, I was loving married life. I've been talking about my situation with my psychiatrist, she did advise me to talk it out with Jasper tell him that I'm not comfortable with his mom. But instead of doing that, I started popping my perception pills. His mom had told me to call her mom while we were having family dinne
Jasper's POVThe moment we got back to the city, life catches us effortlessly, and Ben seems to be enjoying the married life. He was great with Tara, we woke up naked every day and have lazy sex in the morning before we took a shower, slipped on our wedding rings, and get dressed for the day. "Daddy Ben, I want daddy Ben!" Tara crossed her arms to her chest, her sweet cheeky pout promised us a morning of tantrums if she didn't get her way, and this morning it looks like she wanted Ben to feed her veggies. She didn't normally hate veggies, but she despises broccoli one day telling us that she didn't like eating little trees. "Hey, you know you're a big girl now right?" she nodded excitedly when Ben lower himself down by her baby chair to get to her height. Her birthday is in two months, she's turning two and Ben had been remanding her that fact every time her tantrum was about to erupt. Then her pout was magically gone and Ben sits next to her while Allie
Jasper booked us a wedding by the beach, it was beautiful. The sea breeze was perfect, we were wearing matching casual khaki suits, Tara wears her white flowy dress that matches the color of our shirts, she was holding a small bouquet wrapped in beige color arrangements. Jasper's little nugget walked down the aisle holding my hand, looking giddy as we approach Jasper who was waiting for us at the end of the aisle.The seats were empty aside from Allie who was busy taking our pictures, and she laughed when Tara waves her hand frantically at her sister. The kid couldn't contain her excitement when she finally ran to her daddy and he lifts and twirl her, making her let out a loud giggle. I was filled with butterflies the second I was to his side. We both smile at the minister, he smiled and put our hands together since obviously I was too nervous to realize the situation and Jasper was too distracted by Tara and then couldn't stop looking at me which then only making
I still couldn't believe that I'm going to get hitched, I should be happy. Right? Then how come I feel like something big was going to happen? It was not until two days later that he's finally done shuffling his schedule with his PA. We were finally eloping, flight was scheduled, vacation villa had been reserved, clothes had been packed. Tara was excited and Allie was smiling so bright since it was going to be her first trip on a plane. But there was one last hurdle, he was going to tell his mom. "Look, this is just to let her know I'm not asking her permission. My mom is going to know that we'll be gone for two weeks, she will be asking for Tara." I was not convinced, I hated that his family has a strong pull on him. Maybe because mine is conveniently absent from me, sure it's because I ran away from home after dad beat me up when he caught me in bed with my first boyfriend and my mom just watches in horror as I was forced to kneel and she lets dad bea
Jasper POV "Ben, this is..." I backed away from his kiss, trying to get his attention, wanting him to talk about what had happened earlier."You're beautiful as fuck, but I love you more than that. I love your lovely soul, and it hurts to realize that you're trying to deflect our issue with sex." My hands rubbed his waists gently, telling him in silence that I'm there for him."But I don't want to talk about it," he was upset, immediately got up from my lap, and went to reach the liquor cabinet. I know that he was taking his antidepressant, and combining the drug with more alcohol after an evening of champagne was worrying me. "Ben, look at me," I grabbed him and he lets me pull him away from the liquor cabinet."I want to dance." He said out of the blue, taking my hand, leading me straight to our bedroom. I know I wouldn't get through to him and talking was a definite fail. So I went with him and waited until he connects his phone to t
I woke up bright and early the next day only to find that Jasper had moved to the bed. He was still wearing his work clothes, without the suit jacket and tie. His shoes and socks were scattered on the floor. My first thought was to wake him up but he was out like a rock, snoring softly and spreading himself across the bed. Reluctantly, the thoughts came flooding back to my mind, and knowing that Tara might be looking for her dad I decided to get up and get ready for the day.Getting dressed and going to the kitchen was done easily, then seeing Tara's hand grasping in the air calling out for my attention made me chuckle and picked her up from her baby chair. "Ben! Breakfast!" her sweet little voice warms my insides, the little toddler wanted me to feed her. Her new sitter greeted me, Allie gave me some space after giving me Tara's porridge bowl and move to prepare breakfast for Jasper and me. "Allie, just for Jasper, I'll have a cup of coffee." She nodded
