Ivan felt Sera's tightened grip on his arm bring him back to what was happening. The hall was now quiet, everyone looking at the couple. Ivan swallowed hard and turned to look at Sera, who gave him her signature smile. Then he looked at the waiting crowd and lifted the microphone towards his mouth. His eyes found Shawn again as he spoke, "Thank you, everyone. It brings me joy to see that you receive our announcement with great joy. Ever since Sera came into my life, I have never been the same. She has been amazing in so many ways that I can't imagine not spending my life with her. Asking Sera to marry me wasn't something I had to think about again and again. I knew she was the perfect woman for me..." Ivan swallowed the lump in his throat as his grip tightened on the microphone.He looked over at Sera and smiled at her as he continued, this time avoiding Shawn's gaze. "I fell in love with you, never felt anything like this with anyone. She completes me. She makes me feel like it's ti

Shawn hastened his steps as he walked out of the hall, away from everyone and especially away from Ivan. He hated everything about tonight, it was like a worse nightmare, just like the ones he has every other night, the dreams he had tried to get rid of, and decided to confront the invader today in person, only for the wound to be reopened. Fresh. Bleeding.Ivan had not changed, not even for a minute.Does Ivan have any idea that he invades his dreams at night?Does the fucking liar have any idea that he hasn't stopped thinking about him even for once?And here he was, desperately kissing him and saying he doesn't like men.He had been a fool all along, a fool to think Ivan would have changed, to be bold enough to face his truth, not hiding like the coward he had been ten years ago.Shawn exhaled as he let the tears he had been holding back drop. He loosened the two upper buttons of his shirt as it felt as though it was choking him. Everything about tonight was choking him. The party

A small moan escaped Ivan's lips as Shawn's hot tongue touched his skin, armies of goosebumps erupted on every part of his skin, his heart pounded fiercely in his chest. The anticipation was killing him; the thought of someone walking towards their direction sent his nerves into overdrive."Shawn, stop," Ivan cried softly as Shawn bit down on the hollow of his neck. His tongue licked the exact spot he had just bitten."You haven't answered me yet," Shawn responded, his breath ragged, his eyes filled with fiery lust, hunger, and revenge. His hand grabbed Ivan's erection in a firm grip, massaging it until it got hard as iron. "Answer me, Ivan. Tell me to walk away, and this will be the last time you ever set your eyes on me."Ivan closed his eyes, his lips opened in a perfect O, his face displaying the sensations Shawn's expertly hands were giving him. His cock throb with need, precum weeping from it's tip "Don't stop, please," Ivan begged, buckling his hips towards Shawn. Soft cries of

The smile on Sarah's face disappeared immediately. She looked over to Ivan, who gave her an expressionless look as he returned his attention on the food in front of him. This time, he had no appetite to eat. "Oh really? How far back does that go?" She asked Shawn, the smile appearing on her face again."Obviously you saw me at the party. We both attended the same college. We are friends, I assume," Shawn chuckled softly as his eyes moved from Sarah to Ivan. He realized Ivan was already looking at him."You are right..." Sarah chuckled. "You both attended college together. Silly me. I was expecting to see your fiancé with you tonight. Don't tell me Shawn Maddox is single. I will never, ever believe it," Sarah chuckled as she watched Shawn's expression.Shawn chuckled as he looked at Ivan and then at Sarah. "Love is not on the table for me. I don't think that's important for me at this moment""And why is that? If I may ask" Sera responded. " When you realize you can't trust anyone wh

Shawn enveloped Ivan in his arms, Ivan buried his head in Shawn's shoulder as a blush spread across his face. This is the closest he had been to Shawn, and it feels so amazing being in Shawn's warm and strong embrace.His cheeks turned red as he never expected to see Shawn half naked, pressed onto his body, inhaling his sweet and manly fragrance of his skin. Ivan felt Shawn smell him, inhale him deeply, and bury his face in his hair. His heart warmed, and swarms of butterflies flooded his lower belly as Shawn pressed his hip against Ivan, making him feel his growing erection.As Ivan broke free from the embrace and took a step back as he had felt a hardness against his groin. His eyes widened when he saw Shawn's fully erect penis in his boxer, and a blush appeared on Ivan's face when he understood the cause of it.Shawn's palms became sweaty as he tried to brush them against his boxers. It was shameful to stand in front of Ivan with a massive erection he couldn't hide, yet he seemed t
