Dimitri couldn’t help smiling as he drove along Lakeshore Blvd later that evening, heading to a secluded restaurant he loved.
Talin sat in the passenger seat, nervous and excited.
Talin looked handsome this evening. Silky black hair fell around his face, glossy from a good brushing. Dimitri kept thinking of sinking his fingers into it just to feel how soft it was. Talin had chosen a white v-neck t-shirt, black jeans and a fitted black leather jacket that looked new.
His smile widened at

Hehe...Dimitri is my mystery too...lol. Don't worry, I won't make you wait too long on his past. I had fun writing Dimitri and Talin's scenes.

Talin leaned on the bar counter, his gaze roaming the crowd of people in his club. It was only six o'clock, but customers were filing in.
“Looking for Dimitri?” Lori asked coming up to the counter with a tray. She called out an order to the bartender, and then returned her attention to him. “It's too early for him, you know.”
“I wasn’t looking for him.” Talin straightened and made a show of arranging the papers he’d printed out in his office. “I need to put these up.”

“Where the hell are you? Answer your darned phone, Lev.” Haje huffed under his breath and the message ended.
Levin deleted the voice message. He sat waiting for Jaxton Donovan in an expensive conference room at the Strassen Foundation building. Tired of sitting, he pushed his chair back and moved to stare out the glass windows. Colston City was bright this morning. Though the air was still chilly, the sun had chosen to lighten up the day.

Dimitri tightened the last screw on the water pump he was fixing. Grabbing a cloth from the edge of the table, he wiped oil from the surface of the pump and nodded in satisfaction.

Talin Sato carried three garbage bags out of his club. It was drizzling, soft drops on skin. He jogged to the dumpster. Pushing the lid open, Talin swung the garbage bags on top of a growing pile. He hoped the garbage collectors would come early tomorrow. Otherwise, the garbage was going to take over his parking lot. Kicking the bin as he closed it, he pushed dark hair out of his eyes and reached into his pocket for a stick of nicotine gum.
Gods, what he wouldn’t do for a cigarette.

Talin focuses on work, barely giving anything else attention. One encounter in his club's parking lot drags him out of his dull life. Dimitri has watched Talin for so long, when Talin storms into his workshop, Dimitri decides he won't stay in the sidelines any longer. He wants Talin for life.
