Bound to My Human Mates...Book 6 Of The Silver Moon Shifter Series

18. Dallas

Hey peeps, what's up? I'm Dallas Waytt from a small town in Kansas and I play football. What you learned about me so far is pretty much how my life has been the past few years. I hit rock bottom and wanted to die, no other way around it. I was fucked up big time in the head and I didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground so I decided to end my suffering and God had other plans for me it seems.

I picked myself up, got sober and applied to college and met a wonderful person who helped me tremendously and I owe him my life. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for him. I wouldn't be happy and free from my own chains I put on myself if it weren't for him.

I thought the people in my life would be disappointed and hate me for being gay but they were the complete opposite. My mom was emotional and felt bad because I didn't come to her sooner and my dad felt like he put too much pressure on me growing up to be a sports player and thought that was a reason I didn't tell them and there is no truth to that. I love my parents and love the life I lived growing up with them.

Me not telling them I was gay was a personal choice and I told them both that and they seemed to understand it wasn't them, it was me.

When I got accepted to college on a football scholarship and met my teammates, it was hard but I managed and kept to myself for the most part, at least about being gay.

The guys are great and we became fast friends but I hated hiding who I was from them. As I got to know them better and felt comfortable, I told them and nothing has changed, except one thing and that is the beauty known as Gaelen.

The moment he walked into the locker room I swear my heart stopped at the sight of him. He looked so lost and scared but so beautiful at the same time. His bright beautiful blueish gray eyes, his light brown hair, his lean but semi muscular body, and his full plump pink lips were just mesmerizing. I tried to talk to him over the years because I had a huge crush on him but I didn't know if he was into men so I didn't want to overstep and make it awkward for him.

I noticed he would act happy and put on a fake smile and try so hard to fit in and date these girls and he just looked so miserable. I knew how that felt so I got a little bolder with being closer to him, practicing with him more and watching him more closely to see if he was ok. When I decided to finally ask how he was and not anything football related, I found out we have more in common than I thought.

He's so sweet and funny, cute and sexy. I loved our night together and when he said he was going home, I wanted to go with him but I wasn't expecting how things went at the airport when we arrived.

"Gaelen." A drop dead gorgeous tall drink of water of a man said looking directly at Gaelen and he gasped softly looking up at Ryker and I couldn't take my eyes off of Ryker. Gaelen said he was gorgeous but seeing him in person, wow.

"Ryker." Gaelen managed to say and Ryker smiled at him and I swear Gaelen melted right there.

"What are you doing here? How are you?" Ryker asked as he walked a little closer to us.

"I'm heading home for my family's ten year reunion. I got to college here. I'm alright, doing a lot better now. How are you and why are you here? And also this is Dallas Waytt, a friend from school and a teammate. Dallas, this is Ryker Walker." Gaelen introduced us and he extended his hand and when our hands touched, I felt a spark from his touch that went from the tips of my fingers, up my arm and to my heart. They felt so damn good I fucking moaned.

"It's nice to meet you Dallas. I'm here because the flight I was on has a layover here for I guess people who are headed our way and further. I'm doing well, almost done with my third year of medical school. I finished college early so I thought I should go straight to med school to get that out of the way. It's really good to see you Gaelen, you look great." Ryker hasn't let my hand go the whole time and I didn't want him to. His skin is so warm and soft and his hands are big and strong.
