It helps that Blake is muscular, successful, and so incredibly sweet and charming, as well.

A Misunderstanding

Things were different now. Maybe he was losing his marbles, but after that visit to Blake’s house the day before, he had started thinking about how great it would be to be able to share the same living place. Just the two of them. Someday. He wasn’t insane enough to want to begin living together with Blake immediately, but that was a definite possibility he had been entertaining inside his head for the past several hours now. He had imagined it late the previous evening after returning from dinner with Blake, and he had fantasized about it earlier that morning throughout breakfast. It wouldn’t be happening anytime soon. At least not for the next few months. He and Blake had this undeniable sexual chemistry and tension between them, but he was realistic enough to know it wouldn’t be the best basis for a long-term relationship, which was something he yearned for with Blake.
