This series explores the tension of the unobserved gaze and the electric, awkward moments that occur just before the boundary is crossed. Pulling back the curtain on the thrill of the forbidden, where the act of watching becomes the ultimate aphrodisiac.
In Worshiping an Alpha, hyper-straight man, Kyler Drayke, is working out when there's a knock at the door. Kyler answers the door and lets his gay friend, Jack Hunter, into the house. It's obvious that there's a skewed power dynamic between them, with Kyler being a confident alpha male while Jack is more quiet and submissive. As they chat, it's revealed that Jack is picking up Kyler and they're about to go grab dinner with other friends, but Kyler just wants to finish his sets before heading out. He invites Jack to sit back, insisting it'll only be a few minutes.
