It has been two months now since Austin and Blake started dating each other and they have been inseparable. Blake was literally living in Austin's place, and although they didn’t make anything official, but they both knew what they were feeling for each other. They found love in the most unexpected manner and wanted to stay in the moment forever. They were living in present and wanted to cherish each and every moment spent together.
They would go to their workplace together and would spend the whole day working with each other. They were inseparable even at work, and would have their morning coffee to late night dinners together. Austin would take Blake to his place every night after work and he would fuck him wilder than the night before. The next day, he would come to the office wearing Austin’s clothes that would make the entire office talk about them.
They didn’t care about anything at all. They didn’t want to bother about what people were talking about them. At the end of the day, they had each other by their side and that was all that mattered.
Blake’s excitement reached another level when Austin showed him tickets for two to Miami.
“What is this, Austin? I don’t understand!” Blake questioned him with a smile on his face. He knew what he meant, but he wanted Austin to spill it out.
“There is a conference that we need to attend in Miami. All the premium media agencies would be there and it would be a great event for us to expand our reach. We both are going there tomorrow. Go home and pack your bags!” Blake jumped out of his seat as Austin spilled the beans.
He was utterly excited to visit Miami and explore the city with Austin. It was their first trip together and Blake wanted each and every moment to be counted. He wanted to remember everything and tried his best to make the trip a turning point in their relation.
As they landed in Miami, they were welcomed by the romantic weather and cool breeze of air that played with their hair.
“Oh my God! I am already in love with his city!” Blake said as they were driving to their hotel. They could see the beautiful ocean waves making love to the shore.
“I am glad to be here with you, sugar!” Austin said and kissed him. They inhaled the fresh air and were fortunate to be with each other.

Miami was exactly how Blake imagined it to be. It was his first time in the city, as the nightlife turned him on. The conference was really well-organized and they attended the entire event together. Austin educated Blake the whole day about the unspoken rules of media and helped him create some influential connections on his own.
Blake was really fortunate to have Austin as his boyfriend, who not only supported him in his personal life but also wanted him to escalate professionally. When the conference was over, they headed to their rooms and changed.
“The hotel is hosting the hippest pool party of Florida. Wear your yellow SpongeBob boxers. You will look hot as fuck!” Austin suggested and he wore red beach shorts.
It was the first time when Blake attended a party like that and he had no idea what to expect. He did exactly what Austin told him to do.
“Are you sure this is good. All the media professionals would be there in the party!” Blake asked him.
“They were professional in the conference. It’s over now! They are all here to party tonight!” Austin held his hand as they locked their door.
“I am telling you, we are going to have a great time!” Austin said and gave Blake a long passionate kiss. Blake could see that Austin was overwhelmingly excited about the party and he tried his best to match the level of his enthusiasm as well.
The party was everything that Austin explained him to be. The moment Blake entered the poolside he was bombarded with a loud music. It was the kind of party that he had never attended before. He could see several hot guys, wearing nothing but sexy beachwear. In their beach shorts and designer wears, they looked smoking hot. There were a lot of hot babes too who were flaunting their curves that got Blake’s attention.
He looked at Austin whose eyes were fixed at a guy, who was wearing a pair of blue shorts. He had bulging biceps and was without any doubt, the sexiest guy that Blake had ever seen. He had blue eyes and curly hair, and with his lustrous lips, Blake was sure that he could get any guy he would want.
For a moment, Blake didn’t know if that was where he belonged or not. As they took a few steps, they were welcomed by a lot of other people. They were all greeting Austin and it felt like the entire party knew him well. He felt like a misplaced puzzle, and even though he was trying really hard to interact with people and be a part of that crowd, but somewhere deep within, he knew that he didn’t belong there.
The same guy who was wearing blue shorts and had an amazing physique came towards them and greeted Austin. They both hugged and for a moment, Blake felt a little awkward.
“This is Alejandro. We are good friends!” Austin introduced him to Blake.
“Friends? Are you mad? We were never friends, Austin. We were fuck buddies. I still remember how you used to fuck me all night long in your office, and in your bed, and in your couch – well, almost everywhere!” Alejandro was drunk and he broke into laughter while passing that statement.
Blake didn’t know what to say. He knew about Austin’s past, but that was the first time when he was looking to his past in the form of Alejandro.
“Don’t get me wrong. Who wouldn’t like to get a bite of this muscular jock! I mean, he has a reputation in the town that he needs to maintain. Anyways, who are you, sexy? Have we ever met?”
As Alejandro asked Blake that question, all Blake could do was turn around and let Austin introduce him to Alejandro.
“He is with me. We work together,” was all Austin could say that pissed Blake off. He had had enough and couldn’t take it anymore.
He ran towards the room and started to cry. Tears started to fall aimlessly out of his eyes as he didn’t know what else to do. Austin turned out to be a spoiled billionaire and Blake was disheartened. He knew that a part of him fell in love with Austin and wanted to go back in time to undo his mistake.
He heard a knock on the door and heard Austin’s voice. Blake looked at the mirror and washed his face as few times. He took a few minutes and tried to be calm before opening the door.
He found Austin standing on the other side looking hot than ever in his beach shorts. Blake tried to calm his senses as he couldn’t let his temptation take the best of that moment. He was pissed at Austin and wanted him to give some explanation.
“I just need a minute of your life to give an explanation because I know that I owe this to you,” Austin said and entered inside the room.
“Carry on!”
“I have been a different person before I met you. I was done finding love and was living for meaningless one-night stands and booty calls because I thought that sex was all I could ever get. But that was before I met you. I was making a mistake and turning my life into a living hell until you came to my life and changed it drastically. It was like I was drowning and you saved me, Blake. You saved me in every way a person can be saved and brought me back to life. I can’t go back and undo my mistake, but you know me – you know who I am in the present and I am trying to be better every second with you, for you. Blake Rogers, I love you so much. I can’t imagine a life without you. Please move in with me and make me a better person, every day!” Austin kneeled down to his knees and presented Blake an extra key to his apartment in order to make this official.
“This is the key to my apartment and my heart – it is all yours now!”
Blake didn’t know what to say. He was with Austin and never in his life had he felt so happy. He wanted to feel the same way and wanted to spend every second of his life with him.
“I love you so much, Austin.”
He said and kissed Austin passionately. The trip to Miami certainly turned out to be a defining moment in their relationship. They kept kissing each other and the noise of the party faded away. Nothing else mattered anymore; it was just the two of t
hem in the whole wide world. Everything else was secondary. They kept kissing each other, knowing that it would be the start of a brand new chapter of their lives.
THE END
SHAPESHIFTER ROMANCE: THE WRONG TURNSHIFTER
As the night fell, Sarah couldn’t wait to go back home and fall asleep. She was coming back to Boston from New Hampshire, after attending one her friend’s wedding. It was a lavish ceremony and Sarah was one of the bridesmaids. She wanted to stay for the night and attend the reception dinner, but there was something deep within, which stopped her from staying in New Hampshire anymore. She couldn’t stay there anymore, smiling to almost strangers and seeking out to find someone. She was done looking for love and wanted to set herself free.
She gave an excuse and decided to drive back home. She had never been very good at navigation. The route from New Hampshire to Boston couldn’t be any simpler, nevertheless, Sarah found herself lost in the middle of the night. She knew she took a wrong turn while leaving the wedding venue and wanted to go back. As she turned her car, she heard the sound of the engine, almost wrecking. She knew she was in trouble when her car stopped in the middle of nowhere.
“Oh God! No no no! This can’t be happening right now!” she cursed several times and started to ignite the engine. All her attempts were going futile and she didn’t know what to do. She tapped her phone only to discover there was no tower reception. She couldn’t call anyone, she couldn’t ask anyone for help, as there was no one around.
“I just want to go home,” she breathed with regret, knowing that it was a bad idea to leave the wedding in the middle of the night and that too all alone.
“Please God! Do something!”
She unbuckled her belt and stepped out of the car. She opened the bonnet only to discover that the engine of the car was damaged. It wasn’t working and though Sarah didn’t know much about cars, but she knew that her car was not functioning well at all. She knew that she couldn’t find any garage or mechanic in the middle of the night and that too at such an isolated place. She thought that it was best for her to spend the night while sitting inside her car. At least, she would be warm and safe inside. As she was pacing up and down the road, unable to decide what to do, she finally saw a car coming from the opposite direction.
She knew that it was her last shot. Finding a car at such an isolated place was nothing but a miracle. She literally stood in the middle of the road, trying to halt the vehicle. It was a navy colored Ford truck that looked almost black in the pitch dark. The truck was already running at a fast speed, and as the driver hit the brake, the entire atmosphere echoed the sound.
Kurt didn’t expect to find a beautiful woman like Sarah standing in the middle of the road at such an ungodly hour. He had to rub his eyes to make sure if it was true or not. It was not a figment of his imagination and he finally realized that he should step out to check what was happening with the woman.
“Please help me, my car just broke in the middle of nowhere!” he heard the woman’s voice as he lowered the glass. Kurt stepped out of his car and looked at Sarah. He couldn’t stop admiring how beautiful she looked. Sarah was wearing a gorgeous black dress that complimented her curves and flawless body. She had long legs and her matching stilettos were doing magic to her sculpted physique. She was wearing minimalistic makeup or jewelry and even in that pitch darkness, her face was lit up, her lips were lustrous red and Kurt couldn’t think of anything else but to kiss her in the middle of that road. She had beautiful blond hair that was perfectly placed near her shoulders; depicting her amazing jaw line and making her blue eyes glitter in the dark. Kurt had never seen a woman as beautiful as Sarah, and for a moment, his entire world halted. He couldn’t stop thinking about anything but her.
“Can you help me?” Sarah asked him again in desperation. She knew that stopping a car like that at an isolated place could be dangerous, but she had no other option. As Kurt stepped out of his car and looked at Sarah, she knew that she didn’t make the wrong choice.
There was a moment of silence when their eyes met. As Sarah looked into Kurt’s hazel eyes that looked like chocolate brown in the dark, she knew that the man would end up helping her. They say that eyes are the window to our soul – it felt very apt at that moment, as they looked into each other and felt a strange cosmic connection. There was something between their souls that they weren’t able to comprehend. It was as if they were waiting for each for so long, their souls were waiting for that one moment to come.
“Yes, what is it?” Kurt finally asked her and broke her train of thoughts. Sarah couldn’t stop admiring how masculine and handsome Kurt looked. He had short hair that brought out all the features of his face perfectly. He had hazel eyes and a perfectly shaped face. His lips were rugged and he had slight stubble that Sarah wanted to feel. He was wearing an olive green Henley T-shirt that Sarah wanted to rip apart. She could see his bulging biceps and well-chiseled chest, shaping the Henley with his perfect body. Every cell of Sarah’s body wanted to experience Kurt’s masculinity as she couldn’t wait to kiss him wildly under that starlit night.
“What happened? Are you alright, Miss?” Kurt asked her one more time, which made Sarah lose her temper. She was holding on to her thoughts for so long.
“I don’t know. I don’t feel right. I was coming from a wedding, the kind of stupid wedding that I didn’t even want to attend at the first place. But I had to go and smile and hold the bouquet and the bride’s dress and do all those stupid things that I despise the most. I was sick of smiling at random people and telling them the same story over and over again. I couldn’t be there anymore so I decided to leave. I have taken this road so many times, but I don’t know what happened today. I am lost and I don’t know how to go back home. My car is not running, my spirit is low, and I don’t know what to do. I just want to go home.”
As Sarah finished her rant, Kurt smiled while looking at her. He had never met a woman like Sarah and wanted to know more about her. He could feel butterflies in his stomach as he walked towards her and held her hand.
“Do you want me to drop you home?” he asked her with sincerity. Sarah didn’t know what to say. She barely knew the guy and didn’t want to trouble him.
“I don’t know what to say. I can’t ask you for that favor, but I really feel scared right now and I don’t know what to do,” Sarah said in her peculiar accent that turned Kurt on. He wanted to kiss her right there and hold her in his arms, but it was not the right place or time. He wanted to be a gentleman and wanted to help the lady first.
“You don’t have to say anything. Just sit, relax, and let me know where you have to do. I will drop you home safely, I promise,” Kurt said and offered Sarah a ride back home, which she couldn’t refuse.
“I am Sarah,” she said as she buckled her belt and told him about her address in Boston. Kurt was familiar with the route and ensured her that there won’t be any trouble along the way. They both introduced themselves and started to share almost every minute detail about their lives. There was a strong chemistry between them and they wanted to know more about each other.
“I grew up in Boston and I have lived here all my life. I went to college here and after that, I got a job in one of the leading marketing firms. I am working in the same firm for the last three years now. Though the job is very exciting and it still feels like yesterday when I joined them. I like to go fishing with my dad over the weekend, as he stays with his wife on the other side of the city. I am pretty close to him, though.”
Sarah started narrating about her life as Kurt kept asking her different questions. “Why do you live in the suburbs and not the city? I mean instead of traveling so much you can always rent an apartment in the city nearby your workplace,” Kurt suggested as he wanted to know Sarah’s perception towards life.
“I am not a city bird. I cannot stay in the city, I feel trapped in one of those small rented apartments. I want to feel free, go jogging in the morning and breathe the fresh air. I want my own space
and sleep in peace at night, which I can’t get so easily in the city. I am pretty happy with where I am living. What about you?” she asked him, as she wanted to know about Kurt’s way of life as well.
“I keep on changing places. I am a freelancer, so I can work from anywhere. I am currently looking for a place to settle and commence my work. I am one of those free birds too. I can’t stay at one place for very long. It’s not who I am,” Sarah was extremely intrigued by Kurt’s reply. He had a very different life with some of the most radical thoughts. He had the kind of life that Sarah always wanted to live and his will and free spirit intrigued her to the core.
“I wish I could be like that one day, free from any obligation and living my life on my terms,” she said and looked out, as they entered Boston.
“Who is stopping you?” Sarah couldn’t reply to Kurt’s question for a moment. “Me,” she finally said after giving it a thought and smiled.
Both, Sarah and Kurt were poles apart. They were the exact opposites of each other, which is one of the many reasons why they felt a sudden attraction for each other. Sarah kept looking at Kurt from the corner of her eyes, admiring his gorgeous face and flawless body. She looked outside and inhaled some fresh air, as they entered her suburb.
Kurt didn’t want that ride to stop. He wanted to be close to Sarah and discuss different mundane details for the rest of his life. He wanted to make plans for their future and live in the moment. He wanted to do so many things, all at the same time with her. He couldn't take her out of his mind, not so easily.
“That’s it. This is where I live,” she pointed out towards her house as Kurt stopped his car.
“Thank you so much for doing this, Kurt. I don’t know what I would have done without. Thanks a lot for dropping me home today!” Sarah said and hugged Kurt. As their bodies met for the first time, they felt a sudden sensation. Kurt closed his eyes and inhaled Sarah’s lavender scent and for a moment, he found peace. His wandering heart found a home in Sarah’s presence and he didn’t want to let her go. Sarah inhaled Kurt’s strong and irresistible musk and got turned on. She wanted to make love to him right there in his car. She didn’t want to let him go. She wanted to know more about him, his life, his taste in music, the kind of food he likes, and so much more.
