As He Watches


Finn Marlowe - 2013
    I’d ask him to tell me more, but he’s got a fetish for self-denial, and if I push I might not get to touch him at all. That’s the last thing I want.The thing is, I don’t have to listen to him. What we do together, it’s completely voluntary and pretty undefined. We set up a meeting, he gives me directions, I obey. He’s not paying me, not coercing me, and he knows if he tried to do either I’d be gone. We didn’t meet in a club; it’s remarkable that we met at all, when we live in two very different worlds. He likes to look, to touch, but he almost never gets off. I like the feeling of his eyes on me, I like doing all the things he says, but I want more. How do I push the boundaries when I barely know what they are?Photo Description: A handsome young man, wearing only tight boxer-briefs pulled slightly down to bare his buttocks, stands at a window, hands flat on the glass, his well-defined muscles on display. It’s early in the morning, overcast, but the man’s not looking outside, he’s facing the camera. His expression betrays many emotions, a shy wariness, annoyance, a touch of hurt, and perhaps a little anger. He’s stunning. You can’t look away. That expression beguiles— what does it mean?This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love Has No Boundaries" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

But I have to stop letting my fantasies run wild. I need to focus. I’ve just been inducted into a secretive circle I never knew existed. The men at the club show restraint, but I can sense the tinge of sexual energy hidden behind closed doors. Still, not everything is as it seems. There are power dynamics at play within the club, and the other members have heard that I’m gunning for a position of authority. The problem? Some of them don’t want me to take control. On top of that, I can’t stop thinking about Noah. I don’t want to fall for a guy who says he’s straight. But judging from the way his body responds to mine, he’s not so sure. NOAH: I’ve never been with a guy, and I sure as hell have never been with a billionaire. One minute I’m enjoying my job as one of the few straight men working in an exclusive social club for gay men, the Gilded Fox. The next minute my ordinary life is turned upside down. We come from two totally different worlds, and to make matters worse, employees are strictly forbidden from fraternizing with club members. I don’t want to risk everything by breaking the rules, but I’m wrestling with feelings I’ve never felt before. But Ben won’t back down. Everyone in the club is vying for a powerful position, while I’m angling for a different position entirely: preferably whichever one gets him alone. I try to keep my feelings under control, but I find myself swept up in a fantasy life where men don’t hold back from expressing their attraction to other men. I’ve always thought of myself as straight, and being surrounded by gay men all day, you’d think I’d know for sure. But Ben isn’t like the others. He’s something dangerously different. This is the first book in Jason Collins’ debut series. Readers can expect an extra spicy MM romance. Fair warning, this book has a heat level of 100.
