Mark Me

It was bad enough to have some guy try to hit on him in the men’s room of the video arcade last night, but to wake up and find two tattoos on his body is just too much. Who in the hell is this Dimitri person? And why is his name tattooed on my butt? Trey and the other friends have pulled some pretty mean pranks on Eli in the past, but this is just too much.

Dimitri takes one look at that handsome sleeping face and just can’t resist branding his name across Eli’s bottom. Maybe it is the way Eli had turned down his advances earlier that night that spurs him to do such a childish thing. Or maybe he just hopes the preppy violinist will seek him out to remove the tattoos and he’ll get another chance to gaze into those big hazel eyes.

Genre: Alternative (M/M or F/F), Contemporary Length: 26,885 words

Chapter One

Eli Coleman took a big sip of the soda his friend, Trey Brown, handed to him. He choked as the acid from the drink burned the back of his throat. He handed the soda back to Trey and then sat down on the curb on the dark French Quarter corner.

Trey accepted the soda and sat down next to him while their other friends, Henry Lacoste, Justin Marshall, and Holly Jupiter, remained standing drinking their sodas. “Man you look tired,” Trey said.

Eli wrapped his arms around his legs and put his head down on his knees. He didn’t care what Trey said at the moment. He just wanted to sleep. He wasn’t used to hanging out in the streets at night.

“Maybe you shouldn’t have invited him,” Henry said. “You know it’s past his bedtime.”

Eli lifted his head and blinked. Everything around him seemed distorted, even his friends. He groaned. Why had he let these morons talk him into going out with them after the graduation? If he’d had any sense, he would have gone straight home with his parents after he left the convention center when the graduation ceremony ended.

“He’ll be okay,” Trey said. “He has to grow up sometime. He can’t be mommy’s little boy forever.”

“Fuck you,” Eli told Trey. Just because he was smaller than them didn’t mean he was a mama’s boy. He rose.

“Where are you going?” Holly asked, walking over to him. Holly was the only female member of their group and had been the object of Eli’s attention for the last ten years. Unfortunately, she didn’t see him as anything but a friend.

“I have to pee,” Eli answered, barely making out her pretty face and blonde hair in the darkness. He looked around for a clump of bushes to relieve himself.

“Don’t you dare take a leak outside,” Holly warned him. “You’ll not only get arrested, but it’s just downright rude.” Eli rolled his eyes. She had some nerve telling him what to do.

“There’s a restroom across the street at the arcade,” she told him.

Eli squinted, barely making out the sign. “Got you,” he said. He walked across the street.

“Maybe one of you needs to go with him,” Holly suggested to the rest of their friends. “He’s still pretty
