Day 3: Morning

The morning light filtered through the blinds, casting a harsh glow over Darryl’s office as he sat at his desk, his heart pounding with a mix of stress and anger. The inventory crisis had escalated, and he had just received news of a small penalty imposed on the company due to the errors. His mind raced, calculating the potential fallout, the impact on his job, and the looming shadow of his $150,000 debt.

He pulled up Travon’s personnel file, his fingers trembling as he scrolled through the pages. The evidence of sabotage was undeniable, and he knew he had to take action. But as he stared at Travon’s high school ID photo, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. It was a stark reminder of their shared past, a time when their paths had crossed, albeit in different social orbits.

Darryl took a deep breath, steeling himself for the task ahead. He had to write Travon up for insubordination, to assert his authority and send a clear message that such behavior would not be tolerated. But as he began to draft the report, his mind was elsewhere, haunted by the memory of Travon’s body, the raw, primal attraction that had taken hold of him.

Just as he was about to finalize the write-up, his phone rang. It was the HR director, calling to discuss the penalty and the potential consequences for Darryl’s job. The conversation was brief but intense, leaving Darryl feeling even more stressed and uncertain about his future.

As he hung up the phone, he heard a commotion outside his office. He stood, his chair scraping against the floor, and made his way to the door. Peering out, he saw Travon standing on the employee green space/trail, his face contorted with anger, his fists clenched at his sides.

Darryl stepped outside, his heart pounding in his chest. “Travon, what’s going on? Why are you out here?”

Travon turned to face him, his eyes flashing with a mix of resentment and something else—desire. “You know damn well what’s going on, Darryl. You’re trying to pin this on me, to make me the fall guy for your own incompetence.”

Darryl bristled at the accusation, his own frustration boiling over. “That’s not true, Travon. I’m just trying to do my job, to keep this place running smoothly. But you’re making it impossible with your sabotage and your attitude.”

Travon took a step closer, his voice low and dangerous. “You think you’re so high and mighty, don’t you? With your fancy degree and your big words. But you’re just as fucked up as the rest of us, Darryl. Admit it.”

Darryl felt a surge of anger, a primal need to assert his dominance. “I am not fucked up, Travon. I’m just trying to do what’s right, to keep this place afloat. But you’re determined to drag me down with you.”

Travon grabbed Darryl by the shirt, pulling him close, their faces inches apart. “Look, we both in a fucked up situation. What we gonna do about it?”

Darryl’s heart raced, his mind reeling from the intensity of the moment. He could feel the heat radiating from Travon’s body, the raw, unbridled power that emanated from him. And in that moment, something snapped—a barrier broke, and Darryl found himself kissing Travon, his lips crashing against his, his tongue exploring, his hands gripping Travon’s shoulders with a desperate, hungry need.

Travon responded with equal fervor, his arms wrapping around Darryl, pulling him closer, their bodies pressing together, the tension between them exploding into a fiery, passionate kiss. Darryl could feel Travon’s hardness pressing against him, the evidence of his own arousal straining against the fabric of his pants.

As they pulled apart, breathless and flushed, Darryl knew that something had shifted between them, a power dynamic that was now irrevocably changed. He was no longer just the boss; he was a man, vulnerable and desires, dominated by the raw, primal force that was Travon. And in that moment, he knew that he would do anything to protect that, to hold onto the intense, all-consuming connection that had taken hold of them both.
