Temptation

Chapter 4

He was up already that morning and dressed earlier than usual. Usually the time he got up to get ready, today, is the time that he's already up and dressed but why?

"Okay you can do this. It's nothing serious just go out and do it." He was pacing in front of his door entrance, talking to himself deciding what to do. "Ah what the hell." He shrugged and jogged out the door running in the direction of the park. He had on his running clothes as he searched around, still jogging, looking for Chresanto. He kept jogging, looking side to side, trying to find the one he was searching for.

"Oh my gosh, I-I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Craig said after crashing into a mysterious person until he heard that familiar voice.

"I didn't know you were the clumsy type, Craig." The one and only Chresanto said. Craig turned all his attention away from whatever stranger he crashed into and turned his full attention towards the one he was looking for and smiled. "Hey, Chres." Chresanto smiled back and walked over to him wrapping him up in a tight hug. He was sweaty but Craig didn't mind being wrapped up in his strong big arms. Craig hugged him back, putting his face into his broad chest and smiled to himself. Craig didn't want to ever let go no matter how wrong the feeling was to him.

Sooner than later, they pulled away and Chresanto kept his hands on Craig's shoulders, sending shivers down his arms. "I haven't seen you running before, what brings you around these parts?" Craig just shrugged. "Felt like trying something new."

Chresanto smiled and let go of Craig's shoulders, leaving him with a cold feeling on his body. "I hope you can keep up. I'm not exactly that slow of a jogger." Chresanto smiled again and started jogging away. Craig followed behind him and was able to keep up without any problems.

They ran together for about an hour until Craig had to go back. "I'm sorry, I have to leave you early. I didn't bring a change of clothes with me and I still have to tell my husband goodbye this morning" Chresanto just nodded his head and smiled at Craig even though he wad kind of mad about it. "I'll see you when you get to the office then." Chresanto gave Craig another hug and kept running while Craig ran in the opposite direction towards his home. He was lucky that the park wasn't even that far from his home.

Later on that day the two saw each other again, while Craig sat in his friend's office they, of course, had small talk again.

"It was nice running with you today, it made it more enjoyable." Chresanto smiled up at Craig while Craig sat on top of Chresanto's desk. Chresanto placed his hand on Craig's thigh and have it a slight squeeze. "Seriously I really appreciate it." Craig smiled and rubbed the side of Chresanto's face. "It's no problem. I had a lot of fun also."

Chresanto loved the fact that Craig was starting to show him more affection. He could tell that Craig was starting to grow feelings for him but was going to accept or deny them is the question.

"Hey, I actually wanted to ask you something." Chresanto said. "Do you want to come to my house on the weekend, we could hang out a little bit and do whatever." Craig thought about for a little bit and then nodded his head. "I'll just tell Rayan I'll be on another business trip." Chresanto smiled and hugged Craig from his seat while Craig still sat on top of Chresanto's desk. Chresanto's hands wrapped around Craig's waist tightly and he smiled placing his head at the bottom of Craig's chest. Craig smiled and wrapped his arms around the man's shoulder pulling him into his body even more. The two stayed like that for a couple of minutes and then pulled away.

"Let me get my black ass back to work. I got to keep my great title in this office up. You know being the best and all." Craig joked as he hopped off the desk and started walking out the office. "I'll see you this weekend, Chres." Craig said over his shoulder before walking out.

Time went on and it was almost time to lock up and leave until Craig saw just the person he needed. He quickly grabbed his things, and shut off his desk lamp before running after them towards the elevator. "Andrew, wait!" he said running down the corridor of the office building. Andrew turned around, raising an eyebrow at Craig wondering what the heck was going on with him.

"I need your help now." Craig panted as he caught up with him. "I need you to help me with my wardrobe, buy some new things. I want to spice things up with my husband. We've been kind of going through the motions lately." This wasn't true though. Craig didn't give two fucks about what he wore in front of his husband. He cared more about impressing Chresanto for the weekend. Andrew smirked at him. "Welcome to the bright side my friend."

Craig followed Andrew to his house and when they got there, Craig was totally surprised. He walked into Andrew's closet and his jaw dropped. "This is your closet? Are you sure this isn't a store?" Andrew laughed at him and pulled his arm further into the closet.

The two went for hours, looking around for clothes, accessories and shoes. After a while they were worn out. They fell back onto the couch that was inside the closet and let out a deep breath. "I think we have everything." Andrew said tiredly. Craig smiled at him and went to hug him. "Ah yeah, don't touch me." Craig pulled back and nodded then went into his briefcase for his wallet. "How much do I owe you?" Andrew shook his head. "Keep your money. The only way you pay me back is by wearing your stuff that I picked out for you."

Craig nodded his head and smiled then got up, grabbing all the bags that he had. "I'll see you tomorrow, Andrew." They smiled once again at each other and Craig left.

Today was another day that Craig got home extremely late. When he got there though all the lights in his house were off. He knew Ray had went to sleep. Ray thought that Craig was just having another late day at work so he didn't even bother to wait up for him.

Craig hid his stuff in a place he knew Ray wouldn't look, put on his pajama clothes and laid down and went to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day Craig woke up at his usual time deciding not to run again today. He was still up a little early. He left his house after saying goodbye to his husband. "You're leaving earlier than usual." Ray looked at Craig and raised his eyebrow a little at Craig. "Uh yeah. I have to pick up something that I need for work before I get there." Ray nodded. "Then what's in the bag?" Ray questioned him again. "Ummm uh, just some more files and papers that I have to bring back to the office." Ray nodded again. "Have a good day at work."

Ray had no suspicions of Craig or his actions. He trusted Craig in every way possible. Craig walked out the house and let out a deep breath and got into his car. He checked the extra bag he had and make sure everything he needed was in there.

He got to his office and took the bag he had with him into the office. He took the clothes that were in the bag out and changed, putting on the clothes Andrew had given him the night before. He had a pair of skinny jeans, a pair of all black converse and white v-neck. It was simple but it was still a complete change for Craig. He took his bag with his other clothes and took it with him back to his desk. While walking back eyes were on him. Everybody in the office was shocked to see this change in Craig. He shyly smiled as he walked back to his desk just making it in for work on time.

He sat down and smiled to himself. "Looking good Craig." Andrew smiled as he passed by Craig's desk.

After, Craig went to the person he decided to change his wardrobe up for. He walked in and smiled. "Hey, Chres." Chresanto smiled and scanned over Craig's outfit. "I like the new look. It fits you." They hugged and pulled away. Craig was getting exactly what he wanted while Chresanto was getting what he wanted also. He had Craig's attention but what else was he trying to get?
