His eyes, normally a bright and cheerful blue, were now dark and stormy. Emma shot Blake an apologetic look as she dragged Hailey out of the cafe.

And with that, the taller man brought his rough lips down upon Blake's smooth ones. Tyler pressed his lips harder against the younger man's in an animalistic need. Their tongues battled for dominance. Blake moaned against Tyler's mouth and Tyler grinned into the kiss. They broke the kiss and Blake was left gasping for air. Tyler wrapped his arms around Blake and placed a gentle kiss against his forehead./div
