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

I frowned a little. “I wish we weren’t so far away from each other.”


“Oh, we’re just states away. It doesn’t have to be an issue unless you want it to be one.”


“No, you’re right. It’s just…I’d really go out on a date with you tonight if you lived closer.” Wow, I was getting bolder as my shyness melted away the more Gary and I talked. Something about him made it easy to talk to him.


“Okay, so tell me when you’d like to meet in person, and I’ll make it happen.”


“Really. Of course, silly. You know I don’t play games. When I say something, I mean it. Always.” His face told me so, too. He didn’t even blink.


“Wow…um…yeah, whenever, I mean…” But what about the pandemic? Sure, things had gotten somewhat better over time compared to the beginning of it, but there were different waves and strains and all that to be cautious about. And wouldn’t it be too risky to fly on a plane?
