Chapter Twelve

Mark placed two fingers near his windpipe to check his pulse. He had been working out for about an hour and a half, and he still didn’t want to slow down. Usually he felt happier after an intensive work-out session, but even the endorphins flooding his brain weren’t able to erase the bad taste lingering in his mouth.

He was soaked in sweat, furious and out of a job. He had known that getting involved with Jon was a bad idea. He didn’t understand why he had let the stupid part of him win out. Because it had been stupid, no matter how sweet and good-looking Jon was. And he wasn’t sweet — Mark had been wrong. He wasn’t just angling for companionship. He wanted an escort. And if Mark had wanted to get into sex work, he could have easily done that without being tricked into becoming someone’s sugar baby. The worst part was that Mark had believed that Jon actually liked him. He had been stupid enough to believe that, instead of thinking that he was curious about having a same sex experience.

He didn’t mind being someone’s experiment dummy, provided that was something he knew in the first place. He didn’t want to have feelings for the person he was helping experiment, because he knew, from experience, that he couldn’t deal with that. Even now, as an adult, he couldn’t deal with it.

He stopped the treadmill altogether and stepped off when he saw someone staring at him from the corner of his eye.

He popped his headphones out of his ear and turned around. The stranger looking at him was tall and buff. He had dark brown hair that he had tied up in a man bun and a cheeky smile.

Maybe that was what Mark needed. He could just forget about Jon with a beautiful stranger at the gym. Get his heart racing in a different way.

“Hey,” Mark said. His voice sounded shaky, but it was probably just in his head. He was still upset, after all.

“Hey,” the man said. “I’m Kurt.”

“Mark.”

Mark waited for him to say something else. At this point, there was usually some sort of attempt at a conversation. Even if it was just a few phrases, discussing the weather or how full the gym was. But Kurt said nothing and Mark didn’t feel like speaking. He didn’t feel like being there at all.

Kurt smiled appreciatively as he looked Mark up and down. It made Mark feel like a piece of meat. When Jon looked at him with lust in his eyes, there was some wonder there at least. This guy was just assessing him, probably wondering what he would look like spread out in his bed.

“I’m vers,” Kurt said, his eyes lingering over Mark’s

“You are really fucking bold, too. You don’t even know if I’m —”

“Interested? Oh, I know that you are interested.”

Mark didn’t say anything. He wasn’t in the mood to argue with this man. Actually, he was very close to punching him, which made speaking right now dangerous.
