Sebastian Mikhail Astor was one hell of a guy. Girls would kneel and beg for his attention. He was tall and masculine, ruggedly handsome, intelligent, and immensely wealthy-the kind of rich you see on TV, with a huge mansion, countless assets, and a team of bodyguards always around him. Plus, he looked like he smelled both minty and woody from afar, and he did smell really good. And did I mention he was extremely gorgeous?
Then there's me...
Girls find me endearing, often calling me "Amory honey." They say I'm too pretty for a guy. I used to like girls too, until I realized Sebastian's scent was so intoxicating. Why would a straight guy like me be drawn to someone as manly as him?
Turns out, I'm going gay for him.
At a Saturday night party, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I boasted that I could make Sebastian fall for me in front of his friends and a crowd. Thanks to my stupid, foul mouth, I agreed it would happen within a month!
But I doubt a straight guy like him would even notice me. I don't even know where to start. I was supposed to be straight, you know...but he makes me feel the stupidest and strangest things ever. And me, being Amory Alejandro Villegas, would not be bottomed...supposedly.
What measures can I take to aim for his heart?
