Who's in control?

“Not at the moment at least,” Ellis grinned back at the other.  “Who knows how fickle she’ll get at any given time.”  He ran a hand through his hair as they talked, mostly agreeing on things.  “Maybe sometimes good then.  I mean she can’t be wrong all the time.”

Leo chuckled and looked at the other grinning male. “Well she could always surprise me by actually being, I don’t know, calm?” Leo asked with a chuckle and a shake of his head. “Didn’t the weather men say it was supposed to be sunny with no clouds?” Leo snorted. “I suppose i’ll settle for that.”

“And hard work has paid off.”Buck said with a chuckle as he watched the other man flex and did have to say it was a show to watch. He told the bartender the best Canadian whiskey they had back there. “So that’s your drink of choice huh.”he said passing the glass over to him.

The moment he felt Leo’s hand graze over his bare skin a rough shiver ran straight down his spine. The fact that he was now being felt-up by the hottest guy in the gym all by happen-stance was almost unbearable and sent an urge through Franklin to be as close to Leo’s body as possible. “I like to think so. I- I would say that the halves look the best when viewed as a whole.” His hand grasped Leo’s wrist and guided it to his chest. “You are driving me a bit crazy.”

Leo smirked as he saw the shiver that ran down the other man’s body. Leo loved knowing that he was desired by people and having them wrapped around his finger. “Just a little bit crazy?” Leo asked with a playful pout and a cheeky grin. “Perhaps you should show me just how amazing the entire whole looks?” Leo asked as he licked his lips and looked the other up and down.

“Fantasy, science fiction, and Thriller. I will read a good romance or erotica novel every once in a blue moon. What about you?” He questioned in returned. Ambrose leaned over the bar top to gain the bartenders’ attention and ordered them both a whiskey near, something to warm them up. “I can’t say I’m surprised, there are a lot of people that have never tried it. It makes me happy when first-timers come to one of my beginner classes. You look pretty stocky though,” the redhead reached out and gave one of the boys’ tricep a feel. “–are you flexible too? Would you ever be interested in trying it? It’s very relaxing, feels great on the body and after some time of just trying new positions and ways you think your body couldn’t move. It’s amazing what your body can do after pushing past its boundaries.” Ambrose smiled, “What do you do for work?”

Leo listened to the other before nodding his head. “It sounds like we have similar tastes in books. Have you hear of a book series called “The Arcana Chronicles’?” Leo asked. “If not, then you should give it a look. I think you’d be satisfied with it.” Leo said with a grin. Leo snorted and playfully flexed his muscle. “You’d be surprised at just how flexible I could be.” Leo said with a smirk as he looked at the other. “Promise not to judge me?” Leo asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Well thank you sexy. I do try and keep myself fit and work out when I can. But I got nothing on you and your six pack you’re packing there.”Buck said chuckling. “I kinda figured you wouldn’t pass that down. What would you like to drink?”he asked.

Franklin was absolutely flummoxed. Here was a gorgeous man asking to see more skin, completely answering his question of whether this man was indeed attracted to other men. And though he wasn’t at all attracted by cockiness, he had been seduced by the charming smile and the muscle flexing, the likes of which had been done for his very own enjoyment, indicating Leo’s interest in him. He was, therefore, powerless to say no. Without so much as another word, Franklin grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it up over his head, exposing his slightly damp skin to the cold air, immediately making him flex and involuntarily goosebumps sprouted over his arms. 

Leo licked his lips as he looked at the other man as he took off his shirt...Flexing for his amusement after doing so. “Hm...Now that is a sight to see.” Leo whistled as he allowed his hand to roam the other man’s body as he flexed, biting his lower lip as he did so. “Does the bottom half look as good as the upper half?” 

“Don’t we all know it. You’re over there looking like something out of a magazine while the rest of us don’t compare to your sexiness.”Buck teased him as he patted the seat next to him. “Take a seat. Let me buy you a drink.”he offered.

“You and me both. What I wouldn’t give to be out of this soaked clothes and curled up in my warm bed, cuddling my cat.. Oh, that does sound nice– a really good book.” Ambrose mused softly. “Can I buy you a drink?” He asked. “I work as a part-time dance and yoga instructor.”  Though, he wouldn’t give up that he escorted on the side as a full-time job, at least, not yet.

Leo chuckled as he heard the other man’s words and nodded his head. “What genre of books are your favorite?” Leo asked curiously. Leo grinned when the other asked if he could buy him a drink. “I would love that.” Leo admitted before hearing the other man’s words. “I have never tried giving yoga a shot.” Leo admitted.

It was beginning to be obvious to Franklin just how cocky this guy was. Although he might have been beautiful, as if sculpted from marble by some Renaissance Italian, and therefore had reason to be confident, it didn’t come without the cost of the added attractiveness of a humble attitude. Still, Franklin was weak at the knees, and stumbled into the intentional trap set by Leo. “Yes- I- I mean, no? You are-” his eyes watched as Leo flexed and ran over the boy’s abs, chest, and arms with appreciation, “-hot.”

“Is that so?” Leo asked with a cheeky grin when the other said that he was indeed hot...Something that Leo knew and was never very humble about. If you had it...Why not flaunt it? It was part of his job anyways. “Hot enough to convince you to show me some more skin of yours?” Leo asked with a cheeky grin as he looked the other up and down.

Buck was enjoying a drink at the bar when he heard the door swing open and Leo come walking in soaking wet. He took off his jacket and handed it over to him. “Here Leo.. take this. And apparently the rain knows exactly when to come so you can look even hotter than you already do.”

Ellis was pondering getting ready to leave when he looked up from his drink to see the younger man with a second set of skin - a very wet second set.  The rain coming down had also factored in his staying inside as well.  “It certainly is, and here I was thinking of heading out and then that started.”  He took another drink and smiled.  “Love I don’t know, sometimes I think that Mother Nature just has a very good, wicked sense of humour.”

Leo snorted and shook his head, a smile coming across his pink lips as he looked at the other. “Well...Happy Mother Nature isn’t just fucking with me at the very least.” Leo teased with a grin as he looked at the other. “Wicked, I can agree with. Good, on the other hand....I don’t know about that.”

Ambrose had got stuck in the rain on his way home from the dance studio. The weather had been lovely that day but turned dark and dreary when he was nearly halfway home. It was if the sky bottomed out and dumped all the rain at once. He was drenched when taking shelter in the bar, worse yet when the boy was wearing near to nothing or what he had been soaked through and show what was visible beneath the fabric. “Talk about a mood ruiner. I was enjoying the weather all day and looked forward to it after work.” He shook his head and sipped at the drink in the head.

Leo chuckled when he heard the other boy talking about this weather being a mood ruiner. “I don't know...It would be great if I was at home. I’d be holed up in my bed and reading my kindle...Sadly, that’s not the case.” Leo chuckled and playfully pouted for a moment before looking at the other. “What do you do for work, if you don’t mind me asking?” He asked curiously.

The mood of the conversation suddenly got heavier, as the elephant in the room was actually acknowledged. Franklin found the other man to be gorgeous, but several questions continued to prevent him from admitting such a thing. Primarily, it was always a toss-up about whether or not he was gay. He looked straight-acting enough, but the neighborhood they were in suggested a different story. When Leo actually used the words ‘attractive’ and ‘man’ and ‘yourself’, it flooded Franklin with an odd sensation of excitement. “Oh,” he muttered, accidentally expressing his joy at the compliment. He quickly cleared his throat to try and cover it up. “I find you to be quite attractive, as well.”

Leo grinned as he looked at the other man. “Oh?” Leo asked as he feigned disappointment. “Just attractive?” Leo asked, wondering if he could goad another compliment out of him...Leo’s ego was never one to deny a compliment. “And here I thought a stud like you might have liked what he had seen.” Leo grinned as he playfully flexed his body, before turning around and playfully flexing his ass and causing the cheeks to jiggle. Chuckling Leo turned back around and looked at the blonde.
