Oh, fuck.
Was Chase a twink? Maybe twink-ish, especially when he wore those sinful leggings of his.
He kept reading the blurb and a couple reviews. It turned out the goaltender was a redhead and the twink was a photographer and art gallery owner, so it wasn’t exactly the same as him and Chase. Plus, it took place in Toronto.
See? It’s totally different from our situation.
Tobias didn’t believe himself either.
TOBIAS:Ah, I see. You like redheads. I’m totally judging you for that. Haha! JK.CHASE: Ha! Yeah, not usually the feature I’m drawn to.
Don’t ask.
Don’t ask.
Don’t ask.
TOBIAS:What are you usually drawn to?
Sigh. I’m a terrible listener.
CHASE:I prefer dark hair. Someone bigger than me. A guy who has enough muscles to hold me up, but doesn’t mind me being in charge, taking control, making sure they’re taken care of like they deserve.
“Holy shit,” Tobias whispered to himself in the empty room.
It was like Chase was painting a picture of his deepest, darkest fantasies.
He’d had few hookups over the years, thanks to his desperation to remain in the closet, and they always expected him to top, thanks to his size. The problem was every moment of his life was about him taking control and leading the charge and focusing on what needed to be done. When he was in the bedroom, he just wanted to let go and feel. He wanted someone else to be in charge so he couldfinally relax.
Tobias was so lost in his fantasy he didn’t even notice his hand was stroking the hard bulge in his sweatpants. Too much time must have passed because another text brought him out of his trance.
CHASE:Sorry, that was inappropriate. Forget I said anything, okay?
TOBIAS:No, you’re good. I was thinking about what you said. Must be hard to find.
CHASE:Oh, it is. Guess that’s why I’m still single, huh?
TOBIAS:Maybe the right guy is right around the corner.
CHASE:I sure do hope so.
A glance at the clock showed it was about to strike midnight. As much as he should have stopped this conversation in its tracks, he couldn’t help but be energized by the direction it went.
Sure, Chase might have been his employee, but it wasn’t like he’d get in trouble with anyone for being interested in him. He was the sole owner of the gym, and they were both adults.
Was it a mistake to crush on his newest employee?
Yes, undoubtedly.
Was he going to let that stop him from indulging in fantasies about Chase after years of no one else warming his bed at night?
Hell fucking no.
TOBIAS:Who knows what the new year has in store? Happy New Year, Chase.
CHASE:Happy New Year, Tobias ::heart emoji::
And no one would ever have to know he planned on jerking off as soon as he got in bed.
