Martin fastened his seat belt and grasped it like a drowning man grabs a razor.
"Take it easy, I'll drive slowly," assured Steve, who saw the gesture as a fear of going fast. "I can see you are not well."
"That's not it," Martin confessed. "This ... I ... Let's just go."
Martin didn't mind driving fast, that is, he didn't like driving fast on normal roads, but this time his problem wasn't that he felt nauseous or that he was sick. The scent of leather upholstery and Steve's expensive cologne made him feel a little different. So he lowered his head as if he didn't want to see anything or anyone.
It was so weird sitting next to this man! Steve led him on the path of carnal pleasures with a man, but took away the chance for a relationship. Yesterday, Martin said he accepts that the relationship between them is purely physical, but that was not entirely true. Yes, he accepted what he had, but only because he had no chance of anything else.
