Chapter 205

• Roth took Tristan's hand in his own, guiding him into the room. Standing face to face, their hands intertwined, they gazed deeply into each other's eyes. "Tristan, under this heavy downpour, I want you to know without a shadow of a doubt that I love you wholeheartedly. I am not ashamed to publicly claim you now, even as I do so in private. I am not ashamed to let you know that my body only responds to you and no other man, not even to a woman. Each time our eyes meet, my heart skips a beat. Every touch or kiss from you creates a swirling sensation in my stomach. I don't want you to be a bottom only, Tristan. We both are tops and bottoms. I want to receive and enjoy your cock as you do mine. I want to fuck you, and you to me anywhere in the world, in the car, at the company, at the radio station, in the bar, in a dimly lit alley, in the bedroom, the kitchen, anywhere..." they both chuckle softly as Roth continued.
• ".. My desire is to have you by my side because that is the only thing that keeps me going. I want to take you to my parents' grave, introduce you to them as my forever lover, to let them know their son had made the right decision for the first time in his life. I want to stand before your mother and tell her how much I love and adore her son. I will stand for you when anyone comes at you, I will protect and defend you with my life, Tristan. I am proud to call you my best friend and lover..." Seeing the tears cascading down Tristan's face, witnessing his quivering lips uttering Roth's name with gentle urgency, brought poignant emotions to Roth. In response, Roth clutched Tristan's hands with an intensified grip, inhaling deeply as his own eyes brimmed with tears, on the verge of streaming down his own face.
• "If I were to disclose our relationship to the public, Tristan, know that I am willing to face the potential consequences of my decision. I might go bankrupt, lose everything I have worked for. I might lose a huge number of shareholders in the company. My life could be at risk. I might never be able to enjoy the privileges I enjoy until now. All these don't count or compare to the fulfillment of having you in my life. What truly matters to me is having you by my side, and our unwavering love for each other. There is no hesitation, no second thoughts. I will be devoted solely to you and no one else. Our encounters at the game center were not mere coincidences. Our deep friendship over the years was not a mistake. Our love for each other is fate itself. Every heartbeat, every fiber of my being resonates with you. I love all of you, Tristan," Roth confessed, his words accompanied by a tender kiss on Tristan's lips.
