Santiago writes gay romance with tasteful erotic scenes, and a weekly series on WordPress titled "Something Like Fate." He meets a friendly new fan in the comment section of his latest blog post, a reviewer of hardcore gay erotica with kinky and taboo themes. At first Santiago is turned off by the vulgar reviews, questionable themes, and porn retweets that make the reviewer seem like an oversexed horndog. Santiago's a Christian with traditional morals, and he prefers sex scenes to be implied and not explicit. However, he realizes he shouldn't judge and decides to give the reviewer a chance.<br><br>They start chatting privately on Twitter and connect so well, Santiago is intrigued by this mysterious man named Gary. Their newfound connection quickly evolves into a long-distance friendship, which then becomes something that causes their feelings for each other to grow more intensely than they’re prepared for in a matter of days.<br><br>During a steamy video chat, Gary reveals he lives a kinky lifestyle as a Dominant, and only a submissive can satisfy his relationship needs. He won't have it any other way. Santiago wonders if he wants to ignore his morals and get involved in a Dominant/submissive relationship. Can they make it work? Is Santiago willing to change his life for someone he barely knows?

#SomethingLikeFate

Oh, what the heck. Discord was harmless. We’d just do a little voice or video and nothing more. I didn’t expect anything else.


After work that evening, I entered a small Starbucks and found Faith sitting at a corner table with a cup of coffee and her purse. I decided not to get anything and just took a seat across from her, smiling and feeling a bit awkward that our friendship seemed different already, even though nothing had actually happened between us to change anything. We both wore face masks but didn’t feel the need to social distance with each other.


“Hi, God bless you, Santiago. How are you?” She pulled down her mask and slapped on a toothy smile, then took a large sip from her cup.


“It’s been a while, huh?” We hadn’t hung out together in quite some time since we’d both been busy.
