Justin Wong falls in love -- and lust -- with Blake Ingram at first sight. Blake is the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. It helps that Blake is muscular, successful, and so incredibly sweet and charming, as well. They work for the same pharmaceutical company, and their respective offices are across the hallway from each other, so they are next door neighbors. Sort of. Unfortunately for Justin, Blake already has someone special in mind. At least that’s his understanding, based on his and Blake’s conversation.<br><br>Blake thinks Justin is the most gorgeous and the sexiest man he has ever laid eyes on in his entire life. Justin is also compassionate, empathetic, and kind. Blake is absolutely infatuated with Justin. Sadly, he quickly discovers Justin is already attracted to someone else. That conversation between Justin and his best friend, which Blake accidentally overheard, is proof enough for him that Justin is off limits. He’s unwilling to be with someone who can’t fully commit to him.<br><br>Can the two men resolve this little misunderstanding?

A Misunderstanding

“Are we almost there?” Justin asked when there was a brief lull in the conversation.


Blake cocked his head toward the left side of the road. “One left turn over there.”


When they eventually reached their destination, they got out and held hands as they made their way inside. The server who greeted them recognized Blake immediately and led him toward the table he had reserved earlier that morning. It was a table in one of the more secluded corners, ensuring the two of them would get plenty of privacy.


“The food here is incredible. Have you been here before?”


Justin shook his head. “You obviously visit this place often enough because the server knows who you are immediately.”


Blake nodded. “Yeah. I love the food here.”


“Great. Maybe you should order for the both of us then.”
