Ravi was frozen and couldn't move a muscle as Raymond pressed their lips together. He was too preoccupied with processing what was happening, leaving Ravi powerless to pull his own lips away from the situation. It was Raymond himself who eventually pulled his head back while panting.Only their lips were touching, and nothing else. However, it was Ravi's first kiss, and it shouldn't have happened with another man like himself. So, why did Raymond do it?"What are you doing, Raymond?" Ravi asked abruptly, suddenly thinking that this might be the influence of Adrian. This made Ravi grip Raymond's hand tightly. "Were you influenced by Adrian too?"The pain in Raymond seemed to have disappeared as the man was no longer grimacing but leaned against the wall, catching his breath."Someone told me that if I broke my promise, I would end up in pain, and the only quick way to alleviate the pain was to kiss my owner," Raymond said, looking at Ravi seriously."What kind of rule is that? You can't
Ravi's eyes opened, but this time he couldn't see anything. He was blindfolded with a small piece of cloth wrapped around his head. Ravi squirmed, but he couldn't move. His body had become stiff in a way he couldn't comprehend, no matter how hard he tried to resist. The overwhelming sense of dread continued to wash over him as he lay in a rough and sandy place.Where was he?"Raymond?" Ravi called out. Raymond wouldn't have left him alone in a situation like this. A growing sense of fear began to envelop him. Ravi couldn't see anything, and he had no idea where he was, while danger might be lurking behind him, ready to pounce on Ravi without warning. "Raymond?"However, there was no response from the person he had been calling. There were no visible restraints holding Ravi back, and it was clear that whatever was happening to him was Adrian's doing. Only that peculiar man could have brought Ravi to this state.Ravi then heard noisy footsteps approaching him. He couldn't see or move to
"His father is no king, who would accept a king who's a traitor?" What did it mean?Before Ravi could fully grasp the meaning of their words, he was startled when he felt a touch on his hand. However, no matter how hard Ravi tried to resist, it was all in vain. His body was immobilized, and the person could easily move Ravi's body."Thinking of making him move again or keeping him like this?" another person asked. Ravi wanted to shake his head and prayed in his heart to be released from the grasp of these people. He was afraid and felt utterly powerless. He couldn't see anything, and there was no one to call for help. Raymond had promised to protect him and be by his side, but he was nowhere to be found when Ravi was truly cornered. He worried about his older brother and his parents, fearing that something might happen to them too."It's better like this, why wait any longer. Just do it."Ravi flinched when other hands were already on his body, touching him roughly. Panic didn't provid
"What? What are you doing?" Daniel gently pulled Ravi's hand to make him turn until Ravi could see the understanding expression on Daniel's face. "Ravi, I did it to defend myself. I can't let you be treated like that by a bunch of trashy guys. Don't overthink it." Ravi stayed silent; he couldn't deny it. His trembling hand wiped away the tears on his cheeks; he still couldn't believe what had happened to him. Those horrible things could have happened to Ravi's life if Daniel hadn't been there. What if Daniel wasn't there? Ravi quickly adjusted his clothes; he couldn't stay here any longer. This was an unfamiliar place he couldn't recognize. Being a human among elves, who despised humans, Ravi might end up facing the same fate as what had just happened, or someone could even kill him. The question of why he and Daniel were here couldn't be asked by Ravi now. "Let's go home," Daniel said, helping Ravi to stand. His legs still felt weak, and walking properly was a struggle, although R
"Yeah, how about you?"Raymond extended his right hand towards Ravi, who had a question mark on his face. However, Raymond's eyes were now veiled with tears, as if he could cry at any moment. "What's wrong?""Ravi, my hand is bleeding," he said.Huh?Ravi stepped forward to get a closer look at Raymond's bloody hand. There was a long line of thick red blood oozing from Raymond's palm, and dark red stains surrounded the wound, indicating an old injury that had reopened. Ravi grabbed Raymond's wrist and then asked him, "What happened to your hand? I remember you've never been injured there before."Raymond's eyes momentarily avoided Ravi's gaze, taking a long time to answer the question, as if Raymond deliberately did so, instantly arousing Ravi's suspicion. Ravi finally asked directly; he couldn't hold back from staying silent because, in reality, Raymond wouldn't reveal the truth. "Is it because of Adrian last night? Then why is it injured again?"Ravi noticed how Raymond's eyes slowly
In the end, Ravi found himself in a small rented house in another town far from his previous home. He felt guilty for leaving without saying goodbye to his father and mother, but once again, Ravi reminded himself that they were not his family. Not knowing where Ravi truly came from or even who he was, everything seemed dark within his own mind. There wasn't a single thing that Ravi could recall about his past. The accident back then had left him like this.Ravi might start his new life here, as a newcomer. He brought nothing with him; everything happened suddenly. He didn't even know what steps to take next."Ravi?" Raymond called out beside him, snapping Ravi out of his long reverie.His head turned towards Raymond, whose furrowed brows expressed concern while looking at Ravi. Ravi mumbled something vague in response."Can I heal you, Ravi?" Raymond asked, pointing towards Ravi's previously wounded lips from a distance.Ravi immediately shifted backward, leaning against the head of th
Ravi jerked as Raymond suddenly pointed with his finger at Ravi's pants. "When I saw it in Ravi's room, they put it in their mouth. Can I try it too, Ravi?""How much did you see?" Ravi asked, looking at Raymond, who this time openly glanced down."I don't know how to say it because I saw a lot, but can I try it, Ravi?""Huh?" Ravi almost lost his words when Raymond said that to him. "Try what do you mean? That's not allowed.""Why? They do it happily, and it seems like they really enjoy it. I want to make Ravi happy too." Raymond whined like a child, but Ravi still had to resist. If he gave in, it would lead him astray; Ravi was normal and wouldn't let another man touch him."No, Raymond. You're wrong; no one is happy when someone does that.""What if Ravi tries it on me?" Raymond asked, making Ravi's eyebrows furrow in confusion as their conversation suddenly took an unexpected turn."How could I do it?"Raymond moved closer to Ravi until their legs touched. He grew even more limp as
Ravi was taken aback by Raymond's sudden movement as he rose, placing Ravi on his lap. "Ravi, can I kiss you a lot?"Huh?"There's no more kissing between us. Do you realize what we're doing is not normal?"Raymond rested his forehead against the base of Ravi's neck, and Ravi felt even more embarrassed as Raymond openly sniffed him.Just a few hours ago, Ravi had been slapped by Raymond, whom he considered an older brother, and then fled from home. Now, he found himself entirely at Raymond's mercy, seated on his lap without a thread of clothing."Ravi... Can I kiss you again?" Raymond asked, lifting his face to meet Ravi's gaze, their noses almost touching. Ravi shivered at this proximity, acknowledging Raymond's beauty once again as he looked into his eyes up close."This is the last time," Ravi found himself saying to Raymond, yet again unable to resist the enticing pleas Raymond made to him. With his swift movements, Raymond immediately reclaimed Ravi's lips, leaving Ravi overwhelme
