Hey peeps, what's up? I'm Dallas Waytt from a small town in Kansas and I play football. What you learned about me so far is pretty much how my life has been the past few years. I hit rock bottom and wanted to die, no other way around it. I was fucked up big time in the head and I didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground so I decided to end my suffering and God had other plans for me it seems.

I picked myself up, got sober and applied to college and met a wonderful person who helped me tremendously and I owe him my life. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for him. I wouldn't be happy and free from my own chains I put on myself if it weren't for him.

I thought the people in my life would be disappointed and hate me for being gay but they were the complete opposite. My mom was emotional and felt bad because I didn't come to her sooner and my dad felt like he put too much pressure on me growing up to be a sports player and thought that was a reason I didn't tell them and there is no truth to that. I love my parents and love the life I lived growing up with them.

Me not telling them I was gay was a personal choice and I told them both that and they seemed to understand it wasn't them, it was me.

When I got accepted to college on a football scholarship and met my teammates, it was hard but I managed and kept to myself for the most part, at least about being gay.

The guys are great and we became fast friends but I hated hiding who I was from them. As I got to know them better and felt comfortable, I told them and nothing has changed, except one thing and that is the beauty known as Gaelen.

The moment he walked into the locker room I swear my heart stopped at the sight of him. He looked so lost and scared but so beautiful at the same time. His bright beautiful blueish gray eyes, his light brown hair, his lean but semi muscular body, and his full plump pink lips were just mesmerizing. I tried to talk to him over the years because I had a huge crush on him but I didn't know if he was into men so I didn't want to overstep and make it awkward for him.

I noticed he would act happy and put on a fake smile and try so hard to fit in and date these girls and he just looked so miserable. I knew how that felt so I got a little bolder with being closer to him, practicing with him more and watching him more closely to see if he was ok. When I decided to finally ask how he was and not anything football related, I found out we have more in common than I thought.

He's so sweet and funny, cute and sexy. I loved our night together and when he said he was going home, I wanted to go with him but I wasn't expecting how things went at the airport when we arrived.

"Gaelen." A drop dead gorgeous tall drink of water of a man said looking directly at Gaelen and he gasped softly looking up at Ryker and I couldn't take my eyes off of Ryker. Gaelen said he was gorgeous but seeing him in person, wow.

"Ryker." Gaelen managed to say and Ryker smiled at him and I swear Gaelen melted right there.

"What are you doing here? How are you?" Ryker asked as he walked a little closer to us.

"I'm heading home for my family's ten year reunion. I got to college here. I'm alright, doing a lot better now. How are you and why are you here? And also this is Dallas Waytt, a friend from school and a teammate. Dallas, this is Ryker Walker." Gaelen introduced us and he extended his hand and when our hands touched, I felt a spark from his touch that went from the tips of my fingers, up my arm and to my heart. They felt so damn good I fucking moaned.

"It's nice to meet you Dallas. I'm here because the flight I was on has a layover here for I guess people who are headed our way and further. I'm doing well, almost done with my third year of medical school. I finished college early so I thought I should go straight to med school to get that out of the way. It's really good to see you Gaelen, you look great." Ryker hasn't let my hand go the whole time and I didn't want him to. His skin is so warm and soft and his hands are big and strong.

"It's nice to meet you too, Ryker. Gaelen has told me some about you last night actually. The flight doesn't leave for a couple of hours so you guys hungry? We can grab lunch." I asked and they nodded so Ryker helped with our bags and we had to go through security which isn't bad this time of day or year so a half hour later we looked for a place to eat.

"No fast food for me, you guys can get it if you want but I'm going to get a salad and a smoothie." Ryker said as we looked at the signs for food.

"Still a health nut huh?" Gaelen asked and Ryker smirked.

"I gotta do all I can to keep my body and brain healthy. I don't look this good just cuz my daddy is good looking. It takes work to keep us fit." Ryker laughed and walked to a sub place and we followed, I didn't want to be far from him for some reason.

"Hey ah have you ever touched someone and felt a spark?" I whispered to Gaelen and he froze for a second and looked up at me.

"Why do you ask that? That's kinda strange to ask." He whispered back while glancing at Ryker.

"Well I know and it's strange to feel sparks from just a handshake also." I also glanced at Ryker and he was on the phone so I got a little closer to try and see what he was saying. I'm curious, sue me.

"Gaelen...mate...Dallas...airport...home...reunion." Is all I pretty much heard before he hung up and ordered his food.

Once we all ordered and had our food we sat down and started eating. Ryker was on his phone typing something and Gaelen was quiet.

"So how's Jamie?" Gaelen asked and Ryker looked up from his phone with a confused look on his handsome face.

"He's good, busy with school and we broke up last year. With my school schedule and working at a clinic to get some hours, we didn't spend any time together. We're still best friends but it just didn't work out. He hasn't told you?"

"No, he hasn't talked to me since that night everything happened."

"Oh I had no idea, are you serious? I'm so sorry Gaelen, I truly am. If I had known I would have said something. What happened between us is between us, no one else, well one other person will know eventually but that's besides the point. I'll talk to him if you want because he is your family, he shouldn't ignore you for something that isn't his business." Ryker looked pissed off and I didn't like that look on his face but this has nothing to do with me so I'll keep my mouth shut.

"Thanks Ryker, I appreciate it. Can we talk later, about that night and since?" Gaelen asked and Ryker smiled and nodded.

"Yes Gaelen we can. I think it's time we talked. I have missed you every single day since that night and have wished for a chance to talk to you again and now it seems we will both be home at the same time so we will take the time to talk. Dallas, I'm sorry if this seems confusing for you but I promise I'll explain everything but not here, for one we just met and two, it's too public and what I have to tell you isn't for all these people to hear. It's not bad, in fact it's good, at least to me it is. It has to do with the sparks. You aren't the only one to feel them, all three of us did and still do." Ryker said and Gaelen gasped and looked between us and covered his mouth in shock.

"Wait he's also...?" Gaelen asked and Ryker chuckled and the sound sent vibrations to my dick.

"Yes." Ryker said and Gaelen looked like he was going to cry. Gaelen kept looking at us and had a bright smile on his face and Ryker was looking at us like we hung the moon and stars.

We finished our food and they caught up on lighter topics of their lives over the last eight years but I couldn't get those feelings for Ryker out of my head or under control. Our flight was called and Ryker managed to get the guy who was sitting in the middle of Gaelen and I to switch seats with him so now the whole flight Ryker will be in the middle and my heart feels like it is going to beat out of my chest with how close he is to me and he smells so damn good.

"Maybe we can meet up this week and hang out?" Ryker asked quietly in my ear and all I could do was close my eyes and hold in the moan that wanted to be let out from his hot breath on my skin. I managed to nod and he ever so lightly kissed my ear lobe and I swear I have never been so hard and hornier than I am right now.

"Need me to take care of that? It's ok if you do because there is no shame in how your body is reacting to me mate. It's supposed to do this by my presence and trust me, you are causing the same for me." He whispered and put his jacket over my lap and I'm glad I was sitting next to the window and that Gaelen had an eye mask on and his earbuds so he has no idea what the hell Ryker is doing to me, such sweet torture.

"Please touch me." I begged with my face on his shoulder and he slid his hand under the jacket and undid my pants and put his big warm hand down the front of my boxers and touched my aching cock and I had to bite my knuckles to keep any sound from being too loud.

"You're so smooth, do you shave? Your cock is so heavy in my hand. I can't wait to have my mouth on it, sucking you soft and slow before sucking harder and faster as I twist my hand at the base and use my other hand to open your tight asshole, to get you ready to take my cock, long and hard, deep, all night long until we can't see straight." He whispered all this as his hand moved harder and slower, soft and easy, driving me nuts. He starts kissing my neck and I can't help but hold onto him as tight as I can to try to keep my body from shaking but it's so hard when it feels so good.

"Cum for me Dallas, show me how much I turn you on." God that made me shoot my load and I moaned, I couldn't help it. He stroked me until I was done coming and he pulled his hand out and licked it clean and he kissed me, full on the lips and tongue dominating my mouth.

"Damn Ryker, what are you doing to me?" I asked softly and he cupped my cheek and kissed the tip of my nose.

"Trying to make you happy by pleasing you better than anyone else ever has and ever will again because you are mine, forever." His voice got deeper and his eyes got brighter. They glowed blue and I was in a daze, he's so sexy and beautiful. He's perfect.

"Well if I'm being honest, Gaelen makes me happy. But you, it seems almost impossible for me to think of anyone or anything else besides you and I have no idea why. I have never done what we just did with a guy I met a few hours ago in an airport. I'm not complaining, it was hot but I'm confused." I admit and he looked like he understood exactly what I was saying.

"That's because you are extremely important to me Dallas and always will be for the rest of my life. You are my mate, same as Gaelen and since we met, our bond started to form and that is why you feel how you do and why your mind is on me. You know these days that it's common for humans to be mated to shifters of all kinds and you just happen to be mine. I knew it the moment I smelt your scent before I even turned around. You know you have a choice, accept me as your mate or reject me, it's all on you Dallas. I won't force you to be mated to me just as I have with Gaelen. I would love to have my mates in my life but I also want you to make your own choice and be happy."

"I accept Ryker, I'm not ever going to hurt you. My best friend is mated to a lion shifter and I have never seen him so happy and loved. I'm so glad I came home with Gaelen because I met you and gosh this is the best day of my life so far." I said and he had tears in his eyes and within a second he had his arms wrapped around me, hugging me and I felt his shoulders shaking so I held him like that for a bit, just enjoying him in my arms and me in his.

"Thank you. You have no idea how happy you just made me and Leo, my tiger. I promise to be the best mate to you Dallas, I'll do anything and everything for you." He said as he held my face in his hands and I held his wrists and kissed his palm.

"I believe that you will Ryker because I do feel happy and loved and we just met so I can only imagine what the further me feels after our bond gets stronger if I feel like I do now." He smiled and kissed me softly and held me for the rest of the flight.

Yes I'm definitely glad I came home with Gaelen. Now to see how things go between them.
