From the moment we stepped into my apartment, neither of us pretended that we were actually gonna be drinking. He pounced on me in an instant. Meanwhile, everyone was freaking out about Burst. I’m too wrapped up in Ken to know.

“So how about this new superhero?” The crowd cheers as Stephen nods to them. “Burst was making headlines fighting crime right here in NYC today…”

I throw his tie onto the floor and begin working at the buttons of his shirt, blinded from the kissing.

“They’re calling him Burst! A new superhero took New York by storm today by stopping several robberies across the city. We’ll have more for you at ten.” The channel repeats the same footage they’d been using for the other two times they’d aired the same story.

Ken’s teeth dig gently into my neck. A wave of pleasure and pain shoots through me, forcing a soft exhale of ecstasy. My hands grip at his arm as he pulls down my pants, revealing just how excited I am for him.

“@RiseUp - OMG!!! Burst is so cool! I think I’m in love… :;(∩´﹏`∩);:”

His stubble prickles at my skin as his lips move their way down my body. I chew on my own lip, admiring his body and adoring the freckles that speckle his toned form. I gasp at the cold sensation as he slides his finger inside.

“I for one think it’s awesome that we have a real superhero!” The celebrity’s words made the audience explode in applause. “If I could say one thing to Burst right now, it’d be: keep up the good work!”

“Are you sure you want this?” Ken’s voice was careful and respectful.

I stare at him with a seriousness that could kill someone. “Shut up and put it in already.”

That day my life changed forever.A
