“Did I not tell you once that you were the only guy I have
ever found attractive?” Shea reminded him.
“I thought you were fucking with me!”
“Well, I wasn’t.” Shea shrugged.
“Listen, Shea, if you are serious about this, there will be
no more women for you. I don’t share,” Christian said.
“I don’t want any women if it means not having you. I do
love you, you know.”
“But you’re not
in
love with me,” Christian said with a pointed look.
“I don’t think it would be hard to fall in love with you,
Christian,” Shea murmured softly, taking another step forward, which put him
right in front of him.
Christian looked up at the man he was so in love with,
offering him everything he has always wanted. Did he take the chance and agree
to this? It could end horribly with not just Christian’s heart broken, but
Shea’s, too. Could Shea actually be in a sexual relationship with another guy?
Christian didn’t know, and he wouldn’t unless he put himself out there and gave
this thing a try. The first real burst of excitement hit him square in the gut;
this might be his one and only chance to be with Shea, so he was going to take
it.
“Are you sure? You’re not just doin’ this out of guilt or
pity? Or because you are afraid of losing our friendship?” Christian asked.
“More like terrified,” Shea murmured softly. “But I am
absolutely positive that this is what I want.” Shea finished firmly and nodded.
Christian eyed him warily but nodded in return. “Okay, but
I’m warning you, there is no going back after this.”
“I know.”
Christian held out his hand, and Shea instantly threaded
their fingers together. Christian’s heart fluttered. “God, Shea, are you really
sure? You have to be...”
“Chris, just stop! If I wasn’t sure I never would have
offered, so stop doubting me,” Shea said, squeezing Christian’s fingers.
“I’m just afraid you are going to change your mind
tomorrow.” Christian sighed.
Shea shook his head. “I will not change my mind, I swear.”
“But you’re not gay.”
“I will be for you.
I would do anything for you, you should know that by now, Chris,” Shea
said with a small smile. “I will not lose my best friend because I’m not gay,
fuck that, consider me gay from now on.”
Christian couldn’t help but chuckle. He hoped this wasn’t a
huge mistake. Can you really just decide to be gay? Just like that?
Shea sat down next to Christian and looked down at their
intertwined hands. “I’m not going to lie and say that being with a dude doesn’t
freak me out a little bit, but I liked our kiss earlier.
I think if we just take it a step at a
time, I’ll be fine. I have been curious about what you are like in bed.”
Christian took a deep breath and blew it out. “Okay,” he
agreed.
“How’s your anxiety? Is your heart okay? Did it give out?
You gonna puke?”
Christian laughed and nudged Shea with his shoulder. “You’re
a dick.”
Shea suddenly yawned but nodded in agreement. “I
know...damn, I’m beat, are we done talking? Cause I’d really like to go to
sleep now.”
“Yeah, yeah, we can go to sleep.” Christian smirked.
Shea turned and
crawled up the bed on his hands and knees. Christian smacked his ass, causing
him to yelp in surprise. Shea glared over his shoulder at him before plopping down
on his stomach and snuggling up with a pillow.
“Dude, you still have your shoes on.” Christian snickered.
“Don’t care, too tired,” Shea mumbled, his voice muffled by
the pillow.
Christian huffed as he grabbed Shea’s shoes and pulled them
off, taking off his socks, too, because he knew that Shea hated sleeping with
socks on. Christian then got himself undressed. In some ways, this relationship
with Shea was going to be a piece of cake because they already knew each other
inside out; however, in other ways, it was going to be a struggle.
But Christian knew that they could do
it, as long as they were both committed to making it work.
“So what should I call you now? Sweetie, pumpkin or kitten?
Oh, oh, I know! How about cocksucker?” Shea teased, lifting his head to grin
evilly over his shoulder at Christian.
“I might be gay, but I can totally kick your ass,” Christian
warned.
“I would say that you’re more likely to fuck my ass than
kick it.” Shea snorted, dropping his head back to his pillow.
Christian threw his head back and laughed. He finished
getting undressed, leaving only his black boxer/briefs on. He climbed onto the
bed next to Shea and collapsed; Christian rolled onto his side facing Shea and
stroked a hand over his short hair. Shea hummed softly and snuggled his face
closer to his.
“What are you going to tell that girl you’re seeing?”
Christian asked.
“The truth,” Shea muttered sleepily.
“You’re going to tell her that you’ve suddenly decided to
start a relationship with your gay best friend?”
Shea shrugged. “Sure, why not?”
Christian seriously doubted that Shea was going to tell the
girl the truth, but he wasn’t going to argue with him now. Christian put his
arm around his waist and pulled him closer. Shea shifted and rolled so that his
back pressed against Christian’s front. Christian hummed his approval and
wrapped his arm around Shea. Christian tucked his face into the back of his
neck and sighed heavily. This felt so right. God, he hoped this relationship worked.
THE END

Christian (The Beck
Brothers Series)
Nothing scared
Christian Beck more than his brothers finding out that he was gay. How could he
ever tell his three big, buff, women-loving brothers that he was into dudes?
What if they thought it was disgusting? What if they disowned him? He loved his
brothers so much and couldn’t bear to lose them.
His only problem?
He was in love with his best friend, who was now his boyfriend. He wanted to
spend the rest of his life with this man. He hated having to hide their
relationship, but what choice did he have? It was either hide his relationship
or risk lose his family.
Shea Dempsey’s
life has been turned upside down and inside out. First, his parents and sister
were killed a couple years back, leaving him without any blood relatives. Now,
the one person who he considered his only family told him that he was in love
with him. The only issue? It was his best friend Christian, who’s gay. So when
Christian told him that they could no longer be friends, Shea made a decision
that would forever change him. He decided to become Christian’s boyfriend,
because honestly, he would do
anything
to keep his best friend, even if that meant switching teams.
As their
relationship became more involved, Shea realized that he really enjoyed being
with men…okay, maybe not all men, but definitely Christian. But he didn’t want
to hide what they had together. The only problem was that Christian would not
budge on the subject and refused to tell his family about them. Shea didn’t
know how long he could live in secret. Will their years of friendship and love
for each other be enough? Or will the ultimatum that Shea gives Christian end
everything for good?
