Chapter 4

Ethan leaned back in his seat, trying to focus on the conversation happening around the dinner table, but his mind was elsewhere. 

He could still feel the strange energy from seconds before, the way Nathan had suddenly excused himself, the look in his eyes before he left.

“Guess he really had to go,” Sarah muttered, smirking as she stabbed her fork into her salad.

Ethan glanced at her. “What?”

She grinned knowingly. “Oh, nothing. Just that it is interesting how you are suddenly excusing yourself too.”

Ethan felt his face warm, but he played it off with a small chuckle. “Yeah, yeah. I will be back soon.”

As he stood up, Sarah gave him a teasing look. “Tell “Daddy” I said hi.”

Ethan nearly tripped over his chair. Vanessa and Lily did not seem to catch the joke, but Sarah’s point told him everything. She knew.

Ethan shook his head and walked off toward the restrooms.

*****

Inside the men’s restroom, Nathan stood in front of the mirror, hands gripping the sink. He stared at himself pouring some water on his face. His thoughts were a tangled mess. 

He had been trying to push away what had happened at the table, Lilly’s advances, the way her foot had deliberately brushed against his leg, how she had looked at him with those seductive eyes.

She was Ethan’s date. That fact alone should have made it easy to shut her down. But now, standing here, he felt frustration bubbling inside him.

The door creaked open, and Nathan’s gaze snapped up just as Ethan walked in.

Their eyes met in the mirror.

Ethan tilted his head slightly, his expression unreadable. “You good?”

Nathan hesitated. “Yeah.”

Ethan stepped closer, leaning against the sink beside him. “You sure? You kind of bolted out of there.”

Nathan exhaled, shaking his head. “It’s nothing.”

Ethan did not look convinced. “Come on. Something happened.”

For a moment, Nathan considered telling him. He considered explaining what Lilly had been doing the whole night, how uncomfortable it made him, how infuriating it was. But the words never left his mouth.

Instead, he forced a smirk. “Just an upset stomach. That’s all.”

Ethan raised an eyebrow but did not press further.

He stepped toward Nathan, planting a kiss on his lips, Nathan held his neck, taking in the scent of Ethan's Cologne. He grabbed Ethan's trousers.

Ethan pulled down Nathan’s trousers and went on his knees, within a flash, he deepthroated Nathan's dick. Nathan let out a soft moan, grabbing Ethan's head and shoving his dick in and out of Ethan's mouth.

Ethan spat on the penis and jerked it really fast, hitting all the right places and stimulating Nathan properly. He gave Nathan a deep hickey which gave a large mark on his neck, but it was all fun for them. He dragged down his trousers, and turned over, holding the sink as Nathan spat on his hand and inserted his hard cock into him. 

This feeling gave him a feeling of both pleasure and pain and he let out a light groan.

“Faster.” Ethan said as Nathan kept on thrusting in and out of him, he increased the pace being that Ethan wanted it some more. 

Nathan felt the sensation in his tummy that he was about to cum, he informed Ethan and immediately pulled out, Ethan then turned and stuck the dick into his mouth, taking in all of Nathan's cum. He sucked it clean. 

“Can't you mess up the place now, can i?” Ethan smiled as he spoke to Nathan. 

“That was amazing,” Nathan confirmed. They shared a kiss and wore their clothes back, washing their hands and cleaning up properly in the process. 

They shared a nice, warm hug before releasing themselves from it. Helping each other put the finishing touches of their suits, they kissed one more time. “I love you” Escaped the mouth of Ethan. “I love you too.”

“Oh my God, hope this does not hurt.” Ethan asked, noticing the large bite mark on the neck of Nathan. 

“Nah, not really.”

“Great, you will have to cover that up though, don't want to know suspicious questions, Sarah is on to us.” Ethan said. 

“To hell with Sarah, the scar would fade eventually during the night.” Nathan responded. 

And then… 

The door opened. 

Both of them straightened instantly.

A man walked in, barely sparing them a glance as he headed into the toilets. 

Nathan cleared his throat and adjusted his collar. “We should get back immediately.”

Ethan nodded, his gaze lingering for just a second too long before he turned toward the exit.

*****

When they returned to the table, Vanessa looked up at Nathan with mild concern, she stood up and gave him a peck. “Everything alright? You left in such a hurry.”

Nathan let out a short laugh. “Yeah. Just, uh… a little stomach emergency.”

Sarah snorted but quickly masked it with a cough.

Lilly, on the other hand, continued her silent game. She rested her elbow on the table, propping her chin on her hand as she gazed at Nathan. Her foot brushed lightly against his again under the table. He raised his head and noticed her winking at him. 

Nathan stiffened but refused to react.

Beside Lilly, Ethan noticed everything.

Sarah, ever the observant one, smirked and took a sip of her drink. “Nathan, you look a little… tense. Is there something on your mind?”

Nathan gave her an annoyed look, signifying that she needed to mind her business, but she just chuckled, playing innocent.

The rest of the dinner passed with unspoken tension. Lilly kept trying to draw Nathan’s attention, Ethan remained unusually quiet, and Sarah continued her quiet amusement at the secret she seemed to be holding.

By the time they were leaving, Nathan exhaled in relief.

They stepped outside into the cool night air, heading toward the car.

Nathan opened the driver’s side do

or, but before he could get in, he caught a glimpse of Lilly smiling at him again.

He knew this was not over.

  • Our love to hide   chapter 78- shelter I. the storm

    The community center sat nestled between two aging brick buildings, its newly painted mural of outstretched hands and blooming flowers already marked by the spray of protest graffiti. But inside, the air pulsed with life. Youth of all shades, sizes, and stories filled the room, some laughing cautiously, others with stiff postures and guarded eyes. They were here for something they didn’t know they needed. And at the heart of it all stood Sarah and Isabelle.Sarah paced in front of the semicircle of foldable chairs, holding a clipboard and a spark that hadn’t glowed in her since the scandal broke. She wore a t-shirt that read You Are Not Broken in bold rainbow letters, and her eyes, though shadowed by exhaustion, brimmed with purpose.Isabelle sat at the back of the room with her laptop, managing logistics and answering the steady stream of texts and emails that never ceased since the announcement of the support group. Her fingers moved fast, but her gaze never strayed too far from Sar

  • Our love to hide   chapter 77-Back to the fire

    The hotel was supposed to be a sanctuary. But the moment Ethan and Nathan stepped back into the public eye, it became a glass cage.Cameras lined the streets. Protesters and supporters alike had taken over the sidewalks. Some waved rainbow flags, others raised Bibles and signs that read "Shame" and "Abomination." The air was thick with tension, an old war reigniting in a new age.Nathan's grip on Ethan’s hand didn’t falter. Not once. They walked into the press conference like soldiers returning from a long, bloody campaign. The hotel ballroom was packed with journalists, activists, and political opportunists. Some faces were familiar, others wolf-like, hungry for something they could twist.Ethan’s heart pounded. He looked at Nathan beside him, the stoic protector who once lived behind shadows and crime. Now exposed. Vulnerable. But still unyielding.They sat. The cameras flashed.Ethan leaned into the mic. “My name is Ethan Blackwood. I’m twenty-one years old. I’m gay. I’m in love wi

  • Our love to hide   chapter 76-the language of the Ashes

    The morning light bled slowly through the gauzy curtains, and Ethan found himself wide awake long before the alarm clock blinked 6:00 AM. He hadn’t really slept, not with the ache in his chest that still whispered of everything they’d lost and everything they’d barely survived.Nathan’s arm was draped around him loosely, protective even in sleep. His breath, warm and steady against Ethan’s shoulder, was a grounding rhythm in the chaos of Ethan’s thoughts.But today was different. Today was the memorial.They hadn’t held it earlier. Not when the media circus had devoured every corner of their lives. Not when the hospital visits had consumed them. And not when Ethan’s mental health had been so fragile, even thinking about closure had felt like trying to swim through glass.But now... now, they are ready.Sort of.Ethan untangled himself from Nathan carefully, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek before slipping out of bed. He stood in front of the mirror, staring at the boy who had once hi

  • Our love to hide   chapter 75-the file

    The Hearth – Two Days LaterThe silence in the room was too thick to ignore.Ethan sat at the long wooden table, hands clenched around a cup of untouched coffee. Across from him, Nathan paced like a caged animal. Isabelle, eyes sharp with worry, watched them both from the corner, her phone gripped tightly.The letter from Elijah lay between them like a loaded weapon.“What does he have on you, Nathan?” Isabelle finally asked, breaking the silence. “Whatever this file is, it’s got you acting like we’re already doomed.”Nathan exhaled, running both hands over his face.“It’s from before Ethan,” he said quietly. “Years ago. After my father died and I took over the company, I made some deals I shouldn’t have. With people I shouldn’t have trusted. To keep things afloat. To clean up the mess my father left behind.”Ethan’s voice cracked. “Illegal deals?”Nathan nodded. “Not just illegal. Dangerous. Dirty contracts. Off-record payments. A few tied to violence nothing proven, but enough to de

  • Our love to hide   chapter 74 Isabella choice

    The rain came in soft drizzles that morning, tracing silver rivulets down the glass walls of the hospital atrium where Isabelle sat, fingers trembling around a lukewarm paper cup of coffee. The silence around her was too clean, too sterile, broken only by the occasional intercom call and distant rolling of gurney wheels. She hated hospitals. The last time she was in one, her mother had died. Now, she sat again in another antiseptic hall, this time for a different kind of reckoning.Sarah hadn't spoken to her since the interview.Lucas had moved back to Texas.And Vanessa who had once clung to her with broken sobs had cut her off completely.Isabelle had never known this kind of silence before.She took a breath, steadying her hands as she pulled out her phone. The screen glowed with a message from Ethan. A simple one: "If you're ready, come. You deserve your own ending, too."She stared at it for a long time.Ethan had every right to hate her. They all did. Her silence, her cowardice

  • Our love to hide   chapter 73 -The spark Remains

    The Hearth looked smaller than Ethan remembered.Five years had passed since he and Nathan had last stepped through the wide front doors not for a visit, not for a tour, but simply… to return. Not as leaders. Not as guardians.But as guests.Autumn leaves scattered across the porch, the same creaky step still groaning in protest beneath their shoes. The wind carried the scent of lavender, paint, and something sweet from the kitchen, maybe cinnamon bread.And yet, beneath it all…The house breathed the same way it always had.Alive. Listening.Inside, voices echoed through the walls.Laughter. Music. A slam of a cabinet. A playful shout.Then footsteps.Evan appeared in the hallway, taller, sharper around the edges, but with the same steady light in his eyes. His hoodie was too big, sleeves fraying at the cuffs, clipboard tucked beneath one arm.“Hey,” he said, trying not to smile too hard. “You’re late.”Nathan chuckled. “Traffic. And sentimentality.”Evan rolled his eyes, but his voi
