No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
An asexual man meets a male model... and slowly falls in love.
Mark, the model, has not been challenged in his life and is emotionally withdrawn. He returns to Chicago in the hopes of reconnecting with his college friends, but everyone has moved on without him, starting families and growing up.
Chris, the writer, is socially withdrawn and introverted. He actively tries to be as invisible as possible.
The two men meet one day in Chris' favorite park and strike up a friendship. Since this is written as a romance, you probably know where the story goes from there.
You'd be wrong. I'm Chris and this is my story, but I'm going to tell you how this installment ends, just so you don't get mad when you get there... This is my version of a Happily Ever After, which means Mark and I were great friends... and that's it.
Mark and I end this first installment of my self-portrait in a Queer Platonic Relationship. There was cuddling and emotional closeness, but nothing remotely sexual. Mark obviously wanted more and he would eventually get it, but this book, Book One of It's Just Us Here, would have been my perfect, ideal romance.
But Mark is gay and he pushed for more... that's a story for another day.
If you need banging and crazy monkey sex to keep your interest in a story, then jump in at Book Four of this self-portrait. Otherwise, come along for the ride and meet the man who would sweep me off my feet, Mark Wolff, one of the top ten vainest men in all the land.
