The relaxing glow of the city lights spilled through the large windows, portraying long shadows of trees and inanimate objects across the penthouse bedroom. The atmosphere of the room was thick with something unspoken, something dangerous yet so soothing. And yet, neither of them moved away.
Nathan Cole sat at the edge of his king-sized bed, his dress shirt unbuttoned at the top, a glass of whiskey resting loosely in his grip. He was not drunk, but the alcohol did little to numb the weight pressing against his chest.
Across the room, Ethan Rivera stood by the door, seemingly hesitant. The faint scent of Nathan’s cologne mixed with the lingering hint of the whiskey, intoxicating in a way Ethan would never admit aloud.
“Maybe I should just go,,” Ethan said, his voice barely above a whisper. But he did not move.
Nathan looked up, his deep brown eyes locking onto Ethan’s with an intensity that made his breath hitch. “Then what are you waiting for? Go,” he murmured, but the words lacked conviction.
Ethan swallowed hard. “You do not want me to.”
Silence stretched between them, bearing with it the importance of every moment they had ignored. The stolen glances. The way their hands would brush when passing each other in the kitchen. The way Nathan’s gaze would hang on for a second too long when Ethan walked around shirtless after a shower.
Ethan took a slow step forward. Then another.
Nathan exhaled sharply. “Ethan, this is…”
“Wrong?” Ethan cut in, standing just inches from him now. “Then stop me.”
Nathan’s grip tightened around his glass, his jaw clenching as Ethan slowly, deliberately, knelt between his legs. The younger man placed his hands on Nathan’s knees, pushing them apart ever so slightly. His touch burned.
“You do not understand, we should not be doing this” Nathan murmured, his voice lacking the strength to push Ethan away.
Ethan tilted his head. “Then make me understand.”
Nathan let out a sharp breath. His fingers found their way into Ethan’s thick, dark hair, tilting his face up. For a moment, neither of them moved, the anticipation nearly suffocating.
Then Nathan’s lips crashed against that of Ethan’s.
The dam broke.
Ethan moaned against his stepfather’s mouth, his hands moving up to grip the fabric of Nathan’s shirt, pulling him closer like a desperate, needy lion.
Nathan growled low in his throat, lifting Ethan effortlessly onto his lap, their bodies colliding with a force that sent sparks down Ethan’s spine.
The kiss was hungry, frantic, years of buried revelations erupting in a frenzy of heat and need. Nathan’s hands roamed Ethan’s body freely, his fingers tracing every inch of skin he had only dared to admire from afar.
Ethan’s fingers tangled in Nathan’s hair as he rocked against him, chasing friction, chasing the high of finally touching what he had craved for so long.
“This is insane,” Nathan muttered against Ethan’s lips, but his hands kept on betraying him, gripping Ethan’s waist like he never wanted to let go.
“Then let’s be insane,” Ethan whispered back, dragging his lips along Nathan’s jaw, his breath hot against his skin.
Nathan moaned, pushing Ethan back onto the mattress, his body pressing down against him.
Ethan gently flipped Nathan over and gripped his hair, pulling him closer into a kiss as Nathan inserted his dick into Ethan, giving him light heated strokes from below.
Only Nathan has ever made him feel this way, this was the most exciting sexual moment of his entire life.
Nathan's lips found its way to his neck, whispering, “you feel so good… ugh.” Ethan let out a struggle moan.
Nathan ran his hand across Ethan's chest, dragging him closer as he increased the intensity of his pounds. Nathan's cock brushing against his prostate.
Ethan could not hold back his moans as they got louder and louder.
He still tried to suppress it so he would not attract the attention of his mother and sister. He was almost sure that if he made the sound a bit higher than it was, they could wake up the entire neighborhood.
Sweat dripped from Nathan's body as he hovered over Ethan, his muscles contracted as he kept inserting his hard penis into Ethan's tight sweet butthole.
The taut feeling of Nathan's stomach gave a sign that he was about to cum. With an evil smirk and satisfying eyes, Nathan stopped and pulled out his cock. Nathan gasped at the feeling of emptiness.
Nathan then decided to focus more on Ethan's body at this point, he went down on him kneeling on the bed, he grabbed Ethan's stone-hard dick and began jerking it gently, he reached out for the bottle of oil that lay at the head of the bed frame.
Calmly stroking Ethan's dick up and down, he gave a peck to the rod, and with a swift motion, stuck it down his large throat.
He sucked Ethan's dick so well, went all balls deep, swallowing his two little balls. Spitting and biting lightly at intervals.
He gobbled on the dick for a couple of minutes more before Ethan's body began shaking, signifying that he had reached his own orgasm.
“I am about to cum…” Ethan said in a whispering tone alerting Nathan. Nathan decided to use both his hands to give Ethan the most amazing experience ever.
Ethan let out a groan and the first cum shot up but Nathan was quick enough to catch it with his tongue, he stuck the whole cock into his mouth and took in the rest of the cum, sucking it clean.
He opened his mouth showing Ethan the cum on his tongue, before going ahead to swallow the entire thing.
Ethan smiled… “Thank you so much…”
They lay there for a while, absorbing each other's scents. Slowly, they began kissing again, whispering love words to each other and enjoying each other's company.
Just as their passion reached its peak, the bedroom door swung open.
A gasp. A sharp intake of breath.
Nathan and Ethan froze, eyes wide, bodies tangled in the heat of their forbidden positions.
Standing
in the doorway, her mouth wide open, was Sarah.
The silence that followed was deafening
It started with a whisper.A few shares. A handful of comments. A couple hundred views.Then, within hours, the dam broke.By morning, Ethan’s face was everywhere.His voice trembling but clear echoed across screens, timelines, and hearts. Not as a scandal. Not as a cautionary tale. But as something deeper. Braver.A man reclaiming his truth.Ethan sat curled up on the couch, a blanket around his shoulders, scrolling through the storm he’d just unleashed. “I’ve never cried over a stranger’s love before. This is what honesty looks like.”“He said what so many of us are too scared to admit. God, I wish I had his courage.”“To Ethan Hale, thank you for not erasing yourself to make others comfortable.”His post was trending under #StillILoveYou.Vanessa sat across from him, mouth half-open as she read her own feed. “This is... massive. You’ve hit three million views in less than twelve hours.”Ethan blinked. “What?”“Buzzfeed reposted it. So did Out Magazine. And GLAAD. A bunch of celebr
Chapter 55 – Letters from the EdgeNathan didn’t sleep.The house was still, but his mind raced. Every echo in the hallway sounded like a memory.He sat in the living room, staring at the wedding photo on the shelf. Ethan’s smile looked different now, full of hope, before the fractures. Before the weight of public scrutiny made love feel like a liability.He rubbed his eyes. Guilt chewed through his gut like rust on steel.Was Ethan right?Had he ruined his life?He was putting away laundry when he noticed the guest room door slightly ajar. A soft glow spilled out Ethan’s old laptop humming faintly atop a stack of notebooks.Nathan frowned.He stepped inside, careful not to disturb the fragile silence, and sat beside it. The screen showed a folder already open: “Private Letters.”Nathan hesitated.Then clicked.The first one opened in a simple text document. No formatting. No filters. “Dear Nathan. Today I heard Vanessa crying in the bathroom. I didn’t ask why. I knew. It’s because
Ethan stared at the email on his screen, the words blurring together like steam on glass.“In light of recent developments, we believe it is in everyone’s best interest to place you on indefinite leave while we reassess public impact.”His fingers hovered uselessly above the keyboard. His heart didn’t race, it sank. Quietly. Like something dropping into deep water.He didn’t even hear Nathan walk in.“Coffee?” Nathan asked, holding out a mug like a peace offering. He looked unsure, like he’d been debating whether to come in at all.Ethan took it automatically, eyes still locked on the screen. “I’ve been suspended.”Nathan’s hand froze midair. “What?”“My job,” Ethan said numbly. “PR nightmare, they called it. Not officially. But that’s what this is.”Nathan moved closer, lips parting like he was about to say something comforting but no words came.Ethan’s laugh was sharp, humorless. “They couched it all nicely. Said it’s not personal. Just... optics.”Nathan set his own mug down on th
The morning after Ethan’s outburst passed like a ghost through their apartment. Nathan moved quietly in the kitchen, preparing coffee, while Ethan sat at the edge of the bed, fingers digging into his knees. The air between them had shifted heavier, like a door had been opened to a room neither of them wanted to enter.“I didn’t mean to accuse you,” Ethan said at last, voice raw.“I know,” Nathan replied, bringing him a steaming mug. “But it still hurts.”They sat in silence. The bitter coffee was grounding, anchoring them to the moment. Outside, the city buzzed as always, oblivious to the emotional landslide brewing within their walls.Nathan glanced at his phone and sighed. “There’s someone I think you should meet.”Ethan’s brow furrowed. “Now?”“Her name is Claire Monette. She was my first real relationship. I was nineteen. It… ended badly.”“You want me to meet your ex?”Nathan shook his head. “She reached out. Said someone’s been asking questions about me. Digging into our past.”
The sunlight over Florida was warmer than Ethan remembered. He lay on a linen lounger outside the beach house, sketchbook balanced on his lap, fingers tracing shapes he couldn’t quite define. Waves lapped the shore beyond the glass fence, and inside, Nathan’s voice carried faintly from the open doors as he finished a video call.They had returned from their honeymoon a week ago. The beach house, a wedding gift from Vanessa and Sarah, was perfectly secluded, coastal, filled with soft light and clean, peaceful silence. But beneath the stillness, Ethan could feel the shift. Not in their love, but in the world beyond it. And maybe, in himself.Nathan stepped outside, barefoot, tie loose around his neck. He held two mugs of coffee and set one beside Ethan. “Still drawing the ocean?”Ethan looked down at the half-finished sketch: not water, but a crumbling cliff.“No,” he muttered, closing the book.Nathan tilted his head, then sat beside him. “Talk to me.”Ethan took a breath. “Do you
The flight home was quieter than either of them expected. No celebratory champagne. No whispered jokes or stolen kisses in the dark of the plane cabin. Just the occasional glance, a hand brushing a forearm, eyes locking for a moment too long, then slipping away again.Ethan stared out the window, watching clouds blur beneath them. Nathan sat beside him, reading a book he hadn't turned a page of in twenty minutes. Their wedding in Florida had been everything they'd hoped: intimate, warm, imperfectly perfect. But as they flew back into their real lives, the weight of the world seemed to climb back onto their shoulders, molecule by molecule.Back in Philadelphia, the city welcomed them with gray skies and cool wind. Their apartment, once a safe haven, felt stiff and unfamiliar. Boxes from the wedding still sat unpacked. Messages blinked unread on both their phones. Emails piled up like snowdrifts.Ethan sighed, toeing off his shoes. "Feels like we were gone for more than a week.""It f
