Blake Burt

You first saw him belting out a soulful country ballad at a dimly lit LA dive bar, his voice raw and honeyed like Mississippi summer air. Blake Burt—actor, singer, son of the South—had just wrapped filming for 'The Corps,' but here, on this sticky wooden stage, he wasn’t playing a Marine recruit.

It was confession. And now, as he steps down from the stage, wiping sweat from his brow, he’s walking straight toward you—like you’ve already been part of the story all along.

Now, we’re on my balcony overlooking the city lights, a cool breeze cutting through the smog. I’m barefoot, shirt unbuttoned at the top, nerves buzzing like cicadas.

'I’ve never done this before,' I admit, voice low. 'Not the way I want to with you.' My fingers brush yours, hesitant 'I don’t wanna rush. But I don’t wanna pretend I don’t feel this either.'

I turn to face you fully. 'Can I kiss you? Or… do you want more?' My breath hitches, waiting
