Dominic…

(Jordan Coulter...image of what Ethan would look like----->)

Everything Ethan did was so innocently sexy that it was simply torture to sit here and do something as mundane as eating breakfast. The parting of those plush pink lips as he bit into his bacon. Or how his little pink tongue would snake out of his mouth and swipe his juicy bottom lip after he took a sip of orange juice had my cock jerked painfully in my pants. Thank God that I was sitting on the opposite side of the table from him. There was no hiding the tenting of my sweatpants.

 

He hasn’t said much during the entire meal and I was teetering on a fine line whether I should push him or not about what had sent him into his panic attack last night. I got the feeling that if I kept coddling him and waiting for him to open up about it, that he never would. I just wanted to help him through whatever it is that is triggering his fear. I didn’t want to go behind his back and ask his staff about the events of last evening. What was he doing before he went into distress? Who was he talking to and so forth? He needed to trust me and speak up, but yet I didn’t want to hurt his feelings or lose his friendship.

 

I knew he was hyper aware of my presence, because he kept glancing at me from under the fringe of those long and thick  lashes of his. We finished up and cleared away the dishes in companionable silence. When I closed the dishwasher and straightened up I came face to face with his unfocused stare.  He was staring right at me and I had to fight the smug satisfaction that almost had me preening with the knowledge he might find me physically attractive.

 

I mentally shook myself and gathered my thoughts. Now was not the time for naughty fantasies. So I stood up to my full height and gave him the most serious look I could muster. "Come on buddy, let’s have a seat in the den." I said as I waved my hand in the general direction of the room I had just suggested.

 

Ethan stared intently at me for a moment then he seemed to deflate just a bit with the fact that he already guessed what the topic was that I wanted to discuss with him. And I watched sadly as his slender shoulders drooped a little lower. He quietly stepped past me and proceeded to make his way  towards the den area of my house. I wasn't far behind him and as he stopped in the middle of the room. I parked myself right inside of the doorway just in case he decided to flee instead of opening up to me and discuss what's going on with him.

 

"Please sit down and relax Ethan, I am not going to bite you or anything." I cajoled, watching his skittish form as I indicated for him to sit in love seat across from the couch where I intended to seat myself. I sat down and waited patiently for him to follow my lead. Once he was seated, my eyes roamed over every beautiful inch of his body. Ethan was the most perfect being that has ever been created. Even when he was so full of nerves that he was picking his fingers and refusing to make eye contact with me.

 

Waiting until he was settled and comfortable, I schooled my features into what I hoped looked like a no nonsense expression and asked him outright. "So are you going to tell me what last night was about?"

 

Ethan's eyes never attempted to make contact with mine, his agitation was clearly stamped across his pretty face and in his tense shoulders. But I refused to back off as I have always done in the past, not this time. This time Ethan was going to tell me what's wrong, we are  going to face his fears together. He is too special, too brilliant, and too beautiful to be hiding behind the cook counter in his state of the art kitchen. Now is the time for the both of us to come clean and face up to truth in our lives. And it was with that thought I pushed myself off the sofa and went to kneel in front of him.

 I watched his beautiful golden eyes go round as I took his small hands into mine. I had to hide my surprise when he didn't immediately draw away from me like I expected him to do. "Ethan, I think its time we talk to each other, we have sent a lifetime skirting our issues." I said and waited for some kind of response from him.  He just sat there blinking at me like an owl. I couldn't help but smile at how adorable he looked as he sat there completely at a loss of how to respond to me.
