Chapter 1: Introduction
The rain started as a soft tapping on the window, gaining momentum until it pounded against the glass, forming a soothing, rhythmic melody that filled their apartment. Tyler and Smit sat on the couch, their legs entwined, a bottle of wine and two glasses on the coffee table in front of them. The room was bathed in the soft glow of the lamp in the corner, casting long shadows that danced across the walls with each flash of lightning.
Tyler looked up from his laptop, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched Smit scroll through his phone.
"You know, I've never seen anyone swipe right so aggressively," he teased.
Smit chuckled, not looking up from his screen. "Well, darling, when you've got a bubble butt like mine, you've got to keep the options open." He finally put his phone down, leaning back against the couch and taking a sip of his wine. "Besides, it's not like I'm actually going to meet any of them. I'm already taken by the most gorgeous man in the room."
Tyler blushed at the compliment, his green eyes shining in the warm light.
"You're the only one I want, you know that." He reached over and took Smit's hand, tracing the lines of his palm with his thumb.
Smit smiled, his dark eyes softening. "I know, sweetheart. It's just a bit of fun." He squeezed Tyler's hand before letting go and leaning in to kiss him gently on the lips.
The heat of the kiss lingered on Tyler's lips as they pulled away. He hummed, a soft smile on his face. "You know, I've been thinking. We should take advantage of this weather."
Smit raised an eyebrow, a playful grin on his face.
"Oh, yeah? And what did you have in mind?"
Tyler stood up, extending a hand to Smit. "Come with me, and I'll show you."
Smit took Tyler's hand, allowing himself to be led towards the bathroom. As they approached the doorway, Tyler flicked the light switch, casting the room in a soft, warm glow. He reached over and turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature until the water was hot and steam began to fill the room.
Smit watched as Tyler undressed, his eyes tracing the line of Tyler's body from his broad shoulders down to his narrow waist and strong thighs.
