Nor Sub Nor Dom (Don't Read in the Closet Events)

Dear Author,
What’s happening with this tough, but oh so tender, couple? The guy on the left seems upset, maybe embarrassed, but the guy on the right seems almost amused as he gives comfort/encouragement. I’ve been drawn to this picture since I saw it last summer and would love to know more.

Photo Description:
Black and white picture of two handsome men in their thirties sharing an intimate moment. Both wear leather pants, their T-shirts hanging from their belts. The one comforting has aviator glasses over his head, hands protectively touch his lover’s waist and a smirk as if telling a jock to alleviate the tension. The other has a leather harness and the expression of someone who has just discovered a truth that would change his life forever.

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's " Love Has No Boundaries " event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
