A Beta Test

"Why doesn't he find me sexy, am I that bad looking?" Jum wiped his tears on Facetime with Ben.

Ben had gone to Elida's parents' place in Altadena, California for the holidays, a last minute decision.

Her parents were rich and that made Ben nervous, he was well to do but not rich.

He was staying in Airbnb rather than their place.

"No Jum, he is that good looking." Ben was unfrazzled with Jum's tears, he did that a lot.

"Great to know you Ben, you shall be missed, Bye!" Jum smiled between snuffles.

"Look you Cranky Carol! He has to take care of his reputation and office rumours and you said it was an accident. And how can he stop you from having wet dreams, in his car ... sitting next to him?" Ben tucked his shirt as he got ready and barked at Jum. "You need to live outside your stupid head!"

"I don't care how he looks, I know it sounds untrue because he is a total 10 and it's easy to say looks don't matter when you are with someone like Yuvi, but I really don't. He is caring and extremely intelligent and runs the business in a way that makes me want him more. It's like he makes love to the code when he is working on it, I am not joking he almost moans. He gets angry if it doesn't work and feels happy when it starts working." Jum sighed.

"Blue ... wear the blue tie!" He added as Ben showed him tie options.

"You are super crazy! What the fuck are you saying? It's like you are planning a fucking wedding!" Ben went off screen and came back with two jackets.

"Beige!" Jum said absentmindedly.

"You are fucking crazy! You have been hiding till he sorted you out in a dark playground. You guys had a brilliant working day and then you ran out of his car leaving everything behind and he dropped it on your doorstep. He has asked you to come to the Office New Year's Party ... A FUCKING PARTY .... Remember our high school ... we were never invited!"

"You were invited ... I tagged along." Jum murmured. "Should I go?"

"Do you want to go?" Ben straightened his tie.

"The law firm is poisoning you ... you are asking too many questions and not giving enough answers... you should be careful or you will become a lawyer!" Jum warned his best friend.

"Yuvraj ... CEO... Prince ... Hunk... blah ... blah ...He has approached you, dropped your bags and asked you to a party... one to one! Fucking GO!" Ben combed his golden hair, "How I look?"

"Handsome! Not as good as Yuvi but not bad!" Jum smiled slightly.

"Fuck you! I am going to lunch with Elida's parents! I will be asking for her hand!" Ben combed his hair nervously watching himself on Facetime.

"They love you! Don't worry! They will ask you to elope with Elida!" Jum smiled fully and gave a thumbs-up. "You take care there okay! There is a windstorm warning!" Jum added

"This is Altadena, there is always a windstorm warning. Look Bro, don't sit there and cry, get ready and go to the party and have fun. But no accidental kisses and definitely no sleepy hard-ons. I am here till the 7th, taking some work from home days, will go to my parents place and yours, then leave on 9th." Ben picked his phone and started walking towards the door. "Will call you tomorrow and let's share notes."

"But I want to!" Jum pouted on FaceTime with Ben, "You know kiss him!" he whined.

****

"Fuck Yeah!" The sweaty body hugged Yuvi from behind in the crowded pub. In all the drinking and dancing that filled the place, getting non-alcoholic drinks for him and Jum was almost impossible and he was standing in the crowd at the bar for a long time.

He didn't want to feel privileged but he couldn't help but get irritated because he wasn't used to waiting or standing in a crowd or so much smoke ... well may be a little privileged.

Yuvi turned around and smiled, it was Colby (his one-time hook up from a couple of weeks back, in fact it was the night when he had met Jum at work).

Colby looked flushed, was wearing golden shorts and the same mesh shirt with more eye make-up tonight.

"WOW! Look what the cat dragged into a party ... A Hunk!" He smiled and hugged Yuvi fully and sensuously, rubbing his body like a cat.

"It's my office's New Year's eve party!" Yuvi got close to Colby and said it in his ear, Yuvi's breath fresh and alcohol free.

"What the fuck! You haven't got a drink in this dump yet!" Colby shouted against the loud music and unnecessarily hugged Yuvi again.

Yuvi looked more handsome tonight than he remembered, he was wearing a white plain round neck T-shirt which was plastered to his huge muscular body, his dark brown nipples pushing against the material over his square pecs and the first couple of layers of abs clearly showing and then the shirt flowed down because of his concave stomach.

He was wearing pleated khaki trousers and Colby knew very well what was hidden under that. He caressed the huge biceps which looked like they would tear the sleeves with any sudden move.

"Your biceps are huge ... just like I remember!" Colby winked and gave a quick peck on Yuvi's lips. "Let me get you a drink!" He gave a quick kiss on Yuvi's cheek.

"Anything without alcohol!" Yuvi said loudly wanting to get heard, not liking the touching and kissing but not wanting to be rude.

"What? No Alcohol!" Colby turned his eyes wide.

"Yeah! Me and my friend there, we don't drink and also I am the designated driver tonight for my friend!" Yuvi shrugged.

"Fuck Off Man! No one can be that perfect! What are you, a robot? A sexy, hunky, exotic, Indian, Kamasutra robot!" Colby made a couple of Mojitos.

"I am not drinking tonight too, I am working and all ... you want to have sex after I get off from here?" He offered the drinks and added with a wink, "Virgin... unlike me!"

"I am on a date!" Yuvi said. But Colby was already serving someone, when he returned, Yuvi repeated not wanting to give Colby any false hope.

"I am on a date ... with the non-alcoholic drink guy.. That guy!" Yuvi pointed at Jum, standing on the podium, talking to Krystina ... trying to talk actually over the loud music.

"That Chinese guy!" Colby said bitchyly, making Yuvi not like him immediately.

"Korean actually! See ya!" Yuvi touched a glass to his forehead in a salute and bye and left, finding his way to Jum.

****

Jum remembered the 'post sex bye bye' guy. They were hugging and kissing and smiling and talking. Fucking get a fucking room!' He yelled in his head at Yuvi.

He told Krystina that he is stepping out for some fresh air and will be back and left before Yuvi could reach them with his drink.

As soon as he stepped out, he felt he had gone deaf and his lungs hurt with the fresh air against all the sweet vape smoke and alcohol inside the pub.

He started looking for a cab immediately. After multiple unsuccessful attempts, he switched to Maps and found that his place was 27 mins walk, he waited for a couple of beats and started walking.

Cycling, walking and running always cleared his mind and his mind was in a whirlwind. Dirty thoughts about the fuck toy and Yuvi swirled in him, stirring his bile and tears.

He was new to Dallas and he shouldn't have walked at night, especially when he didn't know the difference between day and night in Deep Ellum.

He turned when someone kept honking. It was an old car filled with men, rolling slowly behind him. "Hey Buddy! You Lost!" One of them called out. Jum ignored them and started walking again.

One of them got down from the slowly running car and started walking with him. "YOU... LOST?' he asked slowly and loudly. Jum stopped and nodded his head in a NO and smiled, which was a mistake. "Fuck! You are cute!" He slurred, thinking the foreigner didn't understand English. "You from JAPAN?" He jogged along a very fast Jum.

"California, USA... Pasadena actually!" Jum said in his clear English.

"Oh Fuck!" He chuckled and the men started laughing as if Jum speaking in clear English was funny.

Jum again started walking, a bit frazzled now. The men kind of surrounded him, planning to mug him or maybe do more because the guy was small and cute.

Jum turned around and looked at each of them, planning to kick the shit out of the smallest one and then run.

"DUDE!" A booming voice from behind them made everyone turn. Yuvi took all of the space on the sidewalk, towering and hulking at the spot like a superhero, an Indian Thor ... that would be a cool storyline! Nah! Indian Prince ... that's what he was! Jum's mind got side-tracked almost immediately.

"Everyone's waiting for you in the car. Who are these guys? Are you going to another party or something?" He added, taking a few steps ahead, the men surrounding Jum subconsciously took a few steps behind, sensing danger.

Jum stepped ahead, "Nope they were asking for directions ... that's it!"

Jum and Yuvi turned around and started walking away and as soon as they turned the curb, they paced faster and in sync till they reached the pub.

"Fuck! How do you manage to get into situations like this? Why were you walking alone?" Yuvi asked, smiling, worried for Jum but not upset.

"This is again "TOO MANY PEOPLE" alert for me! And you were with someone in there so I guessed, it's time for me to cut loose!" Jum said, smiling like a fool. It was kind of exhilarating to be surrounded by goons, getting ready for a fight and then Yuvi coming and backing him up.

"Then let's go home! It's too many drunk people, too much smoke and one very handsy bartender for me too." Yuvi just raised the ticket between his fingers with a fifty and a Valet appeared out of thin air to take it.

"So that was just a very aggressive bartender?" Jum asked cheekily, he knew there was no sense to be jealous but whenever Yuvi was around, well he felt like a big nonsense.

"We had hooked up once, that's it but he kind of got weird when I told him I am with you!" Yuvi opened the car door for Jum.

"You are with me!" Jum raised an eyebrow and smiled stupidly.

"Yes! I asked you out for tonight's party, didn't I?" Yuvi put the car in gear.

"Oh Well! Thank you! For being my date and my Knight in shining armour!" Jum couldn't stop smiling, "But I was about to take them down, you know. I am a dan, a black belt in Tang Soo Do, for your information!"

"I wasn't planning to fight! I am from a nonviolent country, remember that! I would have videoed you fighting them and put it on the internet!" Yuvi chuckled, "Goons get beaten up by Master Jum!"

"Million hits Man! That would have been internet gold!" Jum laughed along.

They spoke through the drive, Yuvi took a longer route.

They stopped at a street vendor for some light food and continued talking.

"And you, what's your family like? How does the monarchy thing work in India?" Jum asked, the conversation flowed freely between them and both didn't realise they had been sitting for an hour, just talking.

"It is not like the monarchy of the United Kingdom, we are descendants of a former royal family but with no political power, we are basically businessmen." Yuvi explained about his family and showed him pictures of them and his nephew and nieces, palace and Indian festivals.

Yuvi was showing some pictures of him dressed up and representing the royal family. "Let me tell you something that no one here knows!" Yuvi came very close to Jum, "My name isn't Yuvraj or Yuvi!" He smiled, "Yuvraj means Prince, it is my title actually. My name is Ranveer, Yuvraj Ranveer Singh Rathore!"

"Oh Wow! Ranveer! That's very sexy... suits you!" Jum laughed nervously, to share something intimate with Yuvi was thrilling.

"You are sexy!" Yuvi said huskily and kissed Jum and then leaned back and looked at him, his large brown eyes searching.

"I am so going to repent this!", Jum whispered and threw his hands around Yuvi and kissed him with passion. Yuvi kissed Jum with his mouth open but no tongue. He put his hand on the back of Jum's head and pushed his mouth on him and licked the inside of his mouth once, inviting his tongue, making Jum moan. With the other hand Yuvi pressed the small of his back,  bringing him tighter against his muscular body. Jum sucked at his tongue once and let go and he repeated it and sighed. He let go of the lips and Yuvi pressed his face on Jum's neck and held on to him.

"Please don't fire me!" he whispered against Yuvi's chest.

"Please don't report me to HR!" he smiled and kissed the top of Jum's head. "Happy new year!" Yuvi smiled and whispered before kissing Jum again.

****

They kind of cooled off after that to Jum's disappointment but Yuvi insisted that he stayed over and promised to take him for breakfast.

Yuvi on the other hand, counted numbers and then thought of codes in his head to take his mind off Jum and what he wanted to do with and to him.

He wanted to do this right! Take him for a date! Talk to his HR team and tell them that they liked each other before any physical relationship. He couldn't stop from kissing Jum and didn't mind getting into trouble for it but sex, that would get complicated.

But he also selfishly didn't want to let Jum go and invited him to sleep over at his place and drive up to a quaint breakfast place.

****

Jum woke up to the sound of someone groaning. He sat up on the huge bed startled, 'Is this house haunted, is he like an Indian Dracula, he sure looks Sauvé enough to be one.' He wondered.

He heard it again, but it wasn't a groan, it was a sob, someone was crying. He should have locked the door and prayed like in real life situations but he got off the bed towards the sound, like a chick in a very bad Indo-Korean horror movie. Jum was wearing Yuvi's t-shirt and his boxers, the borrowed shorts didn't fit him and kept dropping off his hips. As he walked towards the sound, the lights came up making him jump, "Shit! This large empty apartment is scary!" he whispered to himself and gulped.

Yuvi's bedroom door was partly open and he had thrown his comforter off his body, and his body ... that body... Phew, sobbing or not this was one hunk.

He was all hard muscles and tight angles like actors fake it with makeup and VFX. His pecs, his abs, obtuse, thighs, legs, biceps, arms, shoulders, bloody everything was perfect and covered in a thin layer of black hair, not like a carpet just a thin layer but visible unlike Jum's smooth body. He was wearing a white underwear, his bulge visible and pointing towards the left all the way to his upper thigh.

Then he sobbed again and Jum looked at his face, it was dejected but beautiful, his eyes closed, lips pulled to a thin line, hair all messed up and cheeks red and wet with tears. As soon as Jum saw his tears he lost his erection, all horny perverted thoughts about Yuvi paused and his heart went to him.

'Someone so beautiful, handsome, intelligent and rich should be happy, why is he crying in his sleep?' He wondered.

"No stop ...don't go!" He cried in his sleep and jerked his hand. Jum didn't think this through like he always did, rather went with his instinct like jumping after Ben in that lake and kissing Yuvi at midnight.

He got into the bed and hugged Yuvi, placing his head on his lap. Yuvi closed his arms around his waist and sighed. Jum readjusted their bodies, lied next to Yuvi, brought his head to his chest and hugged him tightly. Yuvi's body was hard and soft, damp and hot at the same time, his breath like some exotic desert, his scent now mixed with his sweat was sexier than ever. Jum covered him with the comforter, he consciously didn't touch the huge erection, Jum had a huge crush on Yuvi but he wasn't a pervert, at least not in action.

Jum brushed his hair with his fingers as Yuvi laid his head on the white hairless chest, sighed and raised his face towards Jum. It was like Jum couldn't help himself, he touched their lips together once, lightly.

Before he could move away, Yuvi moved his hand and lightly grabbed the side of Jum's face and pressed their lips harder. Jum sighed and opened his mouth against Yuvi's, and he responded immediately by taking Jum's lower lip between his and then moved to kiss his lips with gusto. The kiss deepened and Yuvi moved up and then over Jum, taking his mouth and opening it for him. He cradled Jum's head with one hand and used the other to play with his hair as he kissed Jum passionately, their bodies writhing against each other. Jum pulled him closer to his body, his hands roaming on the muscular back, kissing the sexy lips and laced his fingers through his hair. Yuvi moved over Jum and wrapped his hands around his neck and kissed with open mouth and sparing tongues, getting closer pressing into him.

Jum parted his legs and Yuvi automatically fitted between them and started humping into Jum, only the sheer layers of underwear stopping them from getting completely intimate. Yuvi slid his hand under the t-shirt and explored Jum's tight and lean muscular body, setting him on fire. Their hard dicks rubbed against each other as Yuvi moved a bit and raised Jum so that his thick dick pressed against Jum's hole. They kissed, moaned and humped till both came in their underwear.

Jum hugged Yuvi and held onto him. Within minutes he was fast asleep and snoring very softly like a dog. Jum kissed his forehead and untangled his body and got off the bed. He noticed he had a small tattoo on his left wrist, 'Ryan'.

He walked into the living room, pulling the sticky wet spot on his boxers off him and noticed a wall full of framed pictures in what he guessed was a study.

All the pictures were enclosed in gilded silver ornate frames.

Yuvi's parents dressed in Indian attire with gold, diamonds, precious stones and pearls.

Yuvi wearing a turban in expensive Indian clothes, looking like what he was, a Prince but also like a model, Jum got hard instantly and touched the picture lightly.

His brother and his wife with their twin sons about 10, Yuvi had told him about them. His brother was the Raja after they lost their parents in a car crash, Yuvi was only 12 and his brother 15. He looked like royalty, so did his wife, she looked like Rani. There was a picture of Yuvi's sister and her husband. Her husband was extremely handsome but still not attractive to Jum, his eyes kept going back to Yuvi.

There was a large picture of all of them together in front of a huge palace.

The last picture was of Yuvi when he was younger with no facial hair with a dark extremely good-looking boy with short hair both wearing matching orange sweatshirts, smiling at the camera, in love. In black marker something was written at the bottom of the picture, Jum got on his toes to look at it because of the frame and glass.

'We needed more time together, you left me very alone very soon.'

Jum looked towards the bedroom and then the picture of the beautiful boy so much in love with Yuvi and the way Yuvi was holding on to him with both his hands as the boy took the selfie.

"Did he leave or something bad happened to Ryan? Hence the sobbing and the sadness." Jum wondered aloud. A handsome self-made millionaire Prince working in the holiday season, struggling with nightmares and loneliness. He had loved and lost Ryan. "Fuck! Why is my life so complicated?" Jum sat with his back to the wall under the pictures and covered his face. "Fuck!" He whispered.

"Jum!" Yuvi was at the doorway, silhouetted against the muted light. "Come!" He raised his arms.

Jum got up and hugged the large man to him. "Where did you go?" Yuvi asked sleepily.

"Nothing! Just getting some water!" Jum wound his arm around Yuvi's hard waist and led him to the bed.

Yuvi spooned Jum, kissed his neck, nuzzled his face in Jum's nape and slept at once. His large body covering the small one, the huge semi hard cock pushing into the shapely soft butt and his arms holding on to Jum protectively.

'Oh God! This is nice! Complicated but nice!' Jum felt and pushed back his small body to the muscular man snuggling him. He was in bed with his dream man, his 'never will I ever get him' man, his Prince.
