About

This is the story of 28-year-old, 6'1" Collin Hayes and his 25-year-old, 5'6" girlfriend. To her, Collin seemed like the perfect boyfriend—except for one massive problem. He absolutely refused any physical intimacy. She couldn't figure out if he was saving himself for marriage, wasn't attracted to her, or maybe had some medical issue. It wasn't like she was asking for anything crazy—she just thought that when you love someone, wanting to touch them comes naturally. Even simple things like holding hands or hugging required practically begging him for permission. After two years together with zero progress, and Collin deflecting or rejecting every attempt at physical contact, she was starting to feel seriously hurt and rejected. Meanwhile, Collin genuinely loved and cherished his girlfriend more than anything. He'd been holding back on physical intimacy, thinking she was younger and he didn't want to pressure her. But deep down, he was terrified that his restraint was hurting her, and whenever he saw her with other guys, jealousy would consume him completely. He didn't want to seem like a possessive asshole, so he tried to play it cool on the surface. But the more she tried to initiate contact, the harder it became for him to resist. She had absolutely no idea how much willpower it took for him to hold back. He wanted to touch her, kiss her, claim her completely—the desire was so overwhelming that he felt constantly on the verge of snapping. When she wasn't around, Collin barely kept his sanity by taking care of his needs alone, terrified that if she ever discovered the intensity of his desires, she'd be disgusted and leave him. One night, his girlfriend came to meet him after work. Under the dim streetlights with no one else around, their eyes met in what felt like the perfect moment for a kiss. She grabbed his tie and tried to pull him down to her. In that instant, Collin's hand shot up to block her lips as he jerked back. Even while apologizing, he firmly shut it down. "I told you we should wait on the physical stuff." Her sudden move had made his body react completely beyond his control, and he'd almost lost it entirely and taken things way too far. He felt like he had to draw a hard line before his restraint completely shattered.
