It all started with a witty remark from King, but they both took it seriously.
Kane was holding a paintbrush, mixing colors to get the desired outcome. He looked so serene, so focused, and though he wasn’t smiling, he seemed to be enjoying what he was doing. On the other hand, King was biting the side of his mouth to hide his self-consciousness. Although he was a known cold and ruthless Cabecilla, he was never branded a Casanova despite his ethereal look for a certain reason. He never dated girls, never laid his hands on any woman, and always distanced himself, doing his best not to fall or give any importance to his romantic life—including his sex life. He was a virgin in this matter, so he was a bit confused about how to respond to Kane. He wasn’t even sure what Kane’s actions were indicating. But there he was, reluctantly removing his shirt, then his pants. The last thing at his disposal—his boxers. He looked in Kane’s direction, but the latter was busy mixing colors. His whole nakedness was on full display, and he knew for a fact that his cheeks were burning. All of a sudden, he wanted to put all his clothes back on because he wasn’t sure if he could be confident enough or even last that long. King knew how long a painting session could take, so he was really reluctant. He bit his lips while glancing at Kane, who was still occupied with preparing his base. King was taken aback when Kane shifted his gaze to him. Their eyes met, and he saw desire flash across Kane’s face as he hovered his eyes from his face down to his body, finally landing on his thing down there. His thoughts were abruptly cut off, turning blank when he saw a sly smile dancing on Kane’s lips. Meanwhile, Kane’s heart was racing, feeling as if it would pop out of his chest. Just like King, he was also in a daze. Right before his eyes was a dreamy-looking man laid bare. He couldn’t tear his eyes away, and his whole being screamed at him. It was dangerous. Too dangerous… He should be loathing him, and his anger had not yet subsided despite his curiosity about what King might be hiding. But he couldn’t deny the fact that seeing King in front of him, obviously flushed, made him forget everything in his mind. All he was left with was lust. Kane tried to hide it by smirking, but his stomach was growling. He took the brush again. “Let’s start, shall we?” From where Kane was seated, he saw how King gulped and bit his lower lip. That gesture made his crotch stir. Wanting to tone it down, he cleared his throat. King was obviously shy, and it was turning him on even more. “I, I ahm… How do I pose?” King asked, lying on the bed awkwardly. Kane did his best not to laugh when King tried to pose like Rose from the movie 'Titanic.' Shaking his head profusely, he was actually amused. He went to him and kneeled in front of him on the sofa. He held King’s arms, positioning them correctly. Every touch was electrifying, and the feel of King’s skin rubbing against him was making him lose his sanity. 'Fuck it.' King’s skin was white and fair despite the bruises. It looked delicate—more so than most women—but he had a strong and steady build. Kane’s eyes lingered all over his body, making King shiver in his place. King let Kane touch him. He didn’t interrupt, even though he was touching him everywhere under the pretense of helping him get into the right pose. From his hands, to his shoulders, to his waist—even down to his buttocks. When Kane was done and satisfied, he leaned in closer to King’s lips, and what happened next made King gasp. Kane closed the gap and licked his nape, sending goosebumps all over his body. Despite being uncomfortable, King still didn’t budge. He was willing to do anything to mend Kane’s anger toward him, even though he knew too well that not much would change. He just didn’t care anymore. He was fine, and he would be fine no matter what Kane did to him. He had even accepted the fact that Kane could be the death of him. He had already come to terms with it. Kane pulled away after that. He tried his best to stop himself from ravaging King’s lips after kissing his nape. He sat down and focused on the canvas. Every stroke was careful, and every glance he threw at the man lying before him was full of lust. The sound of his chair scraping and the subtle sound of his uneven breathing filled the room. Painting should have been relaxing, but contrary to that, it was exhilarating. After hours of detailing his work and bringing it to life, he chuckled lightly. “You’re a perfect subject,” he whispered. Even just looking at the painting itself made him grip the hem of his shirt, trying to calm himself down. Kane looked back at his subject. King’s head started to nod forward, and his body slowly released the tension he had been holding from staying in a certain position for hours. His body finally succumbed to serenity, and Kane couldn’t help but form a soft smile. His subject had fallen asleep. He was lying naked on the sofa, and Kane was having dirty thoughts. He walked toward King, standing there for a minute before leaning in and finally claiming King’s lips. They were soft… And though he wanted to kiss him rougher, he stopped himself, looking at King’s face. 'You didn’t even wake up after that, huh?' He leaned forward again, and this time, he did what he came for. He deepened the kiss with the unconscious man in front of him. It was hard and rough, making King wake up aroused and moaning. King slowly opened his eyes, his amber gaze meeting Kane’s. And even though King was evidently half-awake, Kane still pushed forward. He held King’s chin, his kisses trailing from his lips down to his chest, his abdomen, and finally his groin. King’s groin was throbbing, and his manhood stood proud. When Kane saw that, he was filled with arousal. He wanted to play with King… He wanted to own him. Not just the painting, but the subject himself. “You’re mine, King Kairos Marchetti.” 'All mine,' he thought, finally touching him. His hands wrapped around King’s manhood, and he was stupefied by how warm it felt between his fingers.After his conversation with Leonard Cohen Marchetti—King's brother—Kane stood motionless in the corner of his room, lost in thought. He couldn't just remain in hiding. He needed to act. But the problem was, he had no idea where to start. Should he go after King’s father to seek revenge? Should he even be barking up that tree?He didn’t know anymore.Being blamed by Leonard had forced Kane into a realization. Now, he understood what it felt like to carry the weight of guilt—even if he hadn’t been the one to pull the trigger, even if he hadn’t physically killed King. It still felt as if he had contributed to his demise in a significant way.The pain and guilt gnawed at him relentlessly. It didn’t help that every time he closed his eyes, he could see King’s amber gaze staring back at him.His mind refused to accept that King was gone. To Kane, he was still out there—either stranded on that island or managing the company as if nothing had happened.He sighed, trying to push those thoughts
For Kane,You will only receive this letter once King is dead. I write this to you with his consent, yet with a heavy heart. He never wanted you to know the truth, but I pleaded with him to let me write this—to give you closure.King didn’t kill your parents. I know the weight of his secrets has crushed him, and I have seen the pain and guilt in his eyes. He has carried this burden for far too long, bearing the blame for something he never did.As his friend—his brother—I have stood by him, even when the darkness threatened to consume him. I have watched him walk the thin line between loyalty and betrayal, never certain which side he would fall on. He never wanted to hurt you, Kane, even when it seemed like he did.I promised King I would deliver this letter to you only when he was gone. I am keeping that promise, though it pains me more than I can say.Kane, be careful. The shadows that haunted King for years are still out there, waiting, watching. Who can you truly trust?If I am st
It had been a week, yet Kane hadn't heard any news about King. Even Stan, Marco, and Ven had been trying to reach out to Raze, but every time they called, it wasn’t Raze who answered—it was always one of his underlings. And the response was always the same: 'Keep Kane hidden and stay safe.' That was it. No explanations, no further details. They took the instruction seriously, ensuring Kane was hidden well. They had brought him to Ven’s underground house—a secure, well-equipped hideout that remained nearly impossible to locate. This place wasn’t just any safe house; it was their fortress, their sanctuary. It was the headquarters where the team always gathered for meetings, planning their next move. But this time, the situation was different. They weren’t just here for a brief discussion—they were here to stay, indefinitely if necessary, until the threat passed. Of course, being the one protected didn’t sit well with Kane. He hated the feeling of being a liability. If it we
King expected Kane to be there when he regained consciousness, but the latter was nowhere to be found. His thoughts ran wild, and though he already had an idea of what might have happened, he refused to believe it right away. He quickly dressed, stepping out of the fortress with only one goal in mind—finding Kane. But when he searched, there was nothing. No trace of him. No sign that he had ever been there. King inhaled deeply, steadying himself before walking toward another fortress hidden within the mansion—this one concealed beneath Kane’s bed. He sat down in front of the massive screens that displayed real-time footage from the numerous CCTVs installed throughout the estate. Without hesitation, he rewound the recordings, his eyes scanning every frame for answers. Then he found it—the exact moment he was looking for. Kane wasn’t alone in the living area. Three others were with him. Stan, Ven, and Marco. King leaned closer to the screen, watching intently as the three
King barely had time to react before Kane was on him again, pressing him against the couch with an intensity that sent his pulse racing. Their lips crashed together in a heated, messy kiss—teeth clashing, and tongues tangling. King was even responding to Kane's kisses this time.King grunted as Kane’s fingers tangled in his hair, yanking his head back, exposing his throat. Kane’s lips were on him in an instant, biting, sucking, leaving marks that burned against his heated skin."Ugh!" He groaned. King grabbed Kane's shoulders and his fingers sank with intensity. Kane pounded on him and went back to his position earlier, his eyes glared over the thing that was standing proud in between King's legs. Without any thought, he leaned closer and placed both of his hands around it. It was warm and his own crotch down there was turning alive as well. He hisses repeatedly. He shouldn't do this. He shouldn't even entertain such thoughts but his mind doesn't have control over his body now. "I
