Lynan sat up in surprise to see Jasper hanging out the window with his camera in hand.
Yael stretched before sitting up as well.
“While not as comfortable as the window seat inside, I must admit that there is a tranquility up here that is quite relaxing,” Jasper said contemplatively.
Lynan grinned at the other man. “See? I told you.”
“Look, I don't have a death wish like the rest of you so just give me the money shot so I can leave you to it. I don't get paid enough to hang out a damn window.”
“Money shot?”
Lynan's confusion didn't last long as Yael reached over and pulled him closer while leaning in to meet him half way.
His squawk of surprise was cut short by warm lips pressing against his own and he fisted Yael's shirt, once again reduced to holding on for the ride.
Fuck, the man could kiss. He always managed just the right
It was the day before the second Scarlet Rose Ceremonyand Lynanwas making himself a late breakfast.He just felt like eating something warm and filling today. His coffee sat on the bench behind him along with half of his meal that he had cooked so far.Taylorwalked in and Lynanrefused to acknowledge the man.“Katz, pass me my juice.”Lynan’s eyebrow twitched at the whiny tone and lack of manners. “Get it yourself.”“You'll get snippy at me for walking into the kitchenand end up getting something broken again. It's by the door.”“Fine. Whatever.”Lynanturned and pulled out the juice, sliding it over to the bitchy manager and huffed as the man took it wordlessly. Not even a thanks. Rude.He carried on, finishing up his cooking and cleaning up while he polished off the last of his coffee.He was finishing the last of his
Stellelaunched towards Lynanscreaming while Lievjumped forward to intercept her.Amyyelled hysterically in the corner through her tears, demanding answers and Taylorhad actually started to laugh.What concerned Yaelthe most however was Lynan’s lack of response.The young man just stood there, barely standing straight and looking around the room in confusion. It seemed like he couldn’t see what was going on.Lievsuccessfully intercepted the yelling young woman and Yaelstrode forward to take Lynan’s face in his hands.Lynan’s clothes reeked of alcohol but his breath didn’t which was odd and even more alarming was that his pupils were different sizes.Large hazel brown eyes blinked owlishly at him but there was no recognition in them, it was like he had trouble focusing on anything at all.Yaelpulled hisownphone out from his pock
Lynandrifted for some time before a low conversation slowly brought him back to awareness.He listened before he recognizedthe voices and slipped one sleepy eye open.Lievsat above him and he realizedthat was whose lap he was using a pillow. He shifted slightly to look to the other side of the couch and blinked at a worried looking Kosh.“Lynan, how are you feeling?”He looked up to his friend before snuggling back down and closing his eyes again as a slender hand ran through his hair gently.“Like crap,” he mumbled.Lievlaughed. “The others are making you some soup so you can sleep for a while longer. Now, people should know not to disturb you,” Liev said looking pointedly at KoshHe heard Koshgrumble and whine all the way to the doorabout being left out of the loopand silence descended in the room once againbut the hand continued
“Please assemble for the second Scarlet Rose Ceremony.” Kosh’s voice rang out in the lounge room and everyone got to their feet. The girls had helped Lynanget ready again and had been giggling over his nervousness. He wasn't sure why they found it so damn funny but they couldn't contain themselves. Stelleeven went so far as to call him ‘oblivious’ but that didn't help him figure out what he was missingout on. He noticed that they seemed to be another person short this evening, one of the girls was missing and gossip was flying around. “Don't look so worried,” Lievpatted his shoulder. “You of all people should not be worried.” Lynanshot him a confused look, earning himself an amused half smile. “Don't underestimate yourself so much,”one final pat to the shoulder,then the man moved away to take up his spot so Lynannervously took his own as Koshwalked into the room
Lynan’s family were not as bad as Yaelfeared upon seeing the young man’s worried expression that morning but he definitely understood his apprehension.Florence Katz, the matriarch of the Katz family, has insisted on being calledon her name andwas a bright, bubbly and had a little too much fun pulling blushes from her only son. While Lynan’s only sibling, Bethany was just as lively. Unfortunately, Lynan and Bethany’s father was on a business trip and was not able to attend.The Katz’s ladies approved of his choice of lunch, a quiet little picnic in a beautiful lush garden that was closed off just for the occasion.He apologizedthat the food was catered rather than lovingly prepared this time but he had been informed that it couldn't have been more perfect.Lynanhad been rather surprised by the choice until Yaelmentioned that the story of the cooking together and the quiet, mor
The date had been amazing even with the whole ‘meet the family’ thing.Lynanlay stretched out on one couch, headphones in and playing on his hand-held gaming device.Lievsat reading on a couch while another couch was occupied byKosh. The man was going over through some documents that has nothing to do with the TV show, while Amysprawled out on the floor in front of a low coffee table carefully painting her nails.It was the kind of quiet peacefulness that was so hard to find.Forced away from their normal worries and now missing the bitchy contestants, they had all fallen into these nice, relaxed evenings. It didn't seem like it would be particularly exciting for the viewers but Koshonly grinned when he had asked about that earlier.It seemed like there were still some things he was missingout on.But he had his own worries beyond what the others were doing although if they happened
Lynanwas a mess of nerves.The final Scarlet Rose Ceremonywas in a few hours and he was starting to pace because he could no longer keep still.“Lynan!”Stelleand Amypeered around the doorway to his bedroom with matching knowing grins.They strode in at his questioning look and placed a large bag on his bed. Even though they shared the bedroom, Lievwas nowhere to be found and it relieved Lynanto have a distraction from his thoughts.He wanted Yaelto pick him, he wanted to continue to get to know the man more.But what did he have to offer against the other three?The closer the time got to the ceremony, the more his thoughts headed toward the negative.Never in a million years would he have guessed that he would have cared so much about this show.“We brought some stuff to make you all pretty!”Inside the bag sat hair care products, co
Lynannodded mutely, feeling a little shy suddenly.His nerves had eased,leaving a warm feeling of anticipation to take hold of his being. He slipped off of Yael’s lap and let him exit the vehicle first.Of course, when Lynanwent to exit the limo, he tripped on the edge of the floor and went flying out,face first.He mentally cursed his own clumsiness as he prepared for his inevitable face plant only to be met with cloth instead of concrete.Yael’s booming laugh filled what appeared to be an underground garage before he hefted Lynanup into his arms bridal style and moved towards an elevator.The ginger haired photographer flushed a deep red even as he wound his arms around his boyfriend’s neck. He was glad that the other man found his clumsiness funny instead of annoying like most people did but it was still embarrassing.“Don’t worry, Lynan. Iwillalways cat
So it turned out that there were a lot of things going on in the mansion that Lynanhad no clue about.He was shocked when having left the show,he got to look online at not only the highlights but all the footage. While in there, he never looked much into what was going on around him because he wanted to avoid all the drama.Probably the biggest shock of all was Taylor’s suicide a week after being kicked off the show.Lynanfound out the day after Yaelhad handed him the final rose and while he disliked the manager, he couldn’t help feel but sad that he felt the need to take his own life.Surely there was more to life than one bad TV show, even if he had wanted Yael?Yaelhimself was rather close lipped about the whole thing.Lynanhad been worried that maybe he might feel upset over the death and his indirect involvement in it but the man didn’t seem to be affected or even care
A warm hand carded through Lynan’s hair, encouraging him but not demanding anything.Taking the hint, Lynanleaned forward to lick across the head and the cock jumped in his hand.Spurred on by the reaction, he set to messily lavishing attention on the cock in front of him. He spent some time licking and sucking along the length before moving to take the head in his mouth. The hand in his hair spasmed and he grinned around the length.The weight and girth of it was impressive and Lynancould barely fit much more than the head in his mouth. He hollowed his cheeks and sucked as he looked up to see Yaellooming over him with eyes blown black.A thrill ran down his spine at putting the man in such a state. It was messy, especially as he couldn’t bear to look away from the other man’s face.The hand twitched in his hair again before the other hand came down and he was pulled off the cock with an obscene slu
