Take Me Back

By J.D. Walker

To choose a job and ambition over love is something Gus Atchison might never forgive. When his boyfriend, Seb Paddington, decides to move to New York and leave their relationship behind, Gus is heartbroken. But two months later, Seb shows up and tries to get close again. Gus isn’t having it, though, despite Seb’s persistence, and they end up in a fight on his front porch.

Once they make peace, of a sort, Seb goes back to New York. However, four months later when he returns, Gus is alarmed at how unhealthy and thin Seb looks, and realizes he still has feelings for the man, in spite of it all. They start up a tentative friendship, and Gus sees another side of Seb he’s never known while helping with his new company. Will Gus take him back? Or will they remain friends forever?

Take Me Back

By J.D. Walker

You’re leaving.

I’d just walked into the bedroom I shared with Seb, my lover of three years. He was packing a suitcase, his handsome face grim.

We’ve been over this, Gus, he replied tiredly while pulling the zipper closed with a finality that scared me. I can’t believe we’re still talking about it. The frustration in his voice—along with the guilt, I was sure—was achingly familiar, and it hurt.

I stepped closer to him and grabbed his arm. What the fuck’s in New York that you can’t find here in Atlanta?

Seb shook me off. More money, a chance to become VP in less than a year. It’s the kind of opportunity I’ve always wanted. You know this. I did, but I’d hoped to never see the day Seb would leave me behind because a job—money—was more important than what we’d built together. What I thought we’d had.

Taking the front of his shirt in my fists, I hauled him against my chest, secretly enjoying his shocked, wide eyes. You want to leave us behind, do you? I asked, sneering as I shoved a hand between us and squeezed his crotch. Predictably, he hardened. Like always. In my hands, he was a pussycat.

I smirked. Your body doesn’t lie, even if you lie to yourself all the time.

Seb blushed and pushed into my hand, unable to help himself. We’ve al-always had chemistry, he stammered, voice breathy, eyes falling closed as I yanked down the zipper of his pants and stroked his cock through the cotton briefs before pulling it out. Anybody can have chemistry.

Not like this, I hissed as I brought his head down to mine and took his mouth in a hard kiss. I kept up the rhythm on his dick, making it burn, and Seb bit my lip, fingers tight in my scalp as I pumped him to a loud, harsh finish, his shouts muffled by our tongues as his release spewed all over my shirt, and likely his.

I was hard as fuck, but this wasn’t about me. I wanted Seb to stay. To remember why he had to stay, even if I had to play dirty. How could he do this to us?

We’d been together for a long time. When we met, it had been lust at first sight. He was the dark to my light. While I was blond-haired and green-eyed, Seb had brown locks kept ruthlessly short, steel gray eyes and an eyebrow marked by a scar because of a childhood incident. He was a head taller than me at six-three, and kept in excellent shape by going to the gym four times a week. I’d been attracted to how driven, how focused he was, not to mention his
