Simon barely had time to knock before Reyes's voice barked through the door. "Get in here."

He stepped inside, already bracing himself for what was to come but nothing prepared him for what happened next. Reyes cranked the volume of the television the moment he shut the door behind him.

    Not for once did Saint's gaze waver. He watched with a predatory intensity as Nicolas reached for the first button of his shirt. Every single slow movement Nicolas made was a calculated provocation. The fabric parted, revealing a glimpse of pale skin and the steady rise and fall of a chest tightened by anticipation. Saint didn't move or speak. Inside of him, a storm, mixed with agonizing love and a cold hard fury, raged. He looked at Nicolas deeply and saw everything he was about to lose. The tough reality was like a bitter pill for him to swallow. At this point, it felt like every second they spent together was a countdown to a goodbye he couldn't bear to say. To compensate, he wanted to carve his name into Nicolas’s skin.He wanted to claim every inch of him so thoroughly that the memory of it would haunt the other man for years. Nicolas let the shirt slide off his shoulders, pooling on the floor. He stepped out of his trousers with a slow deliberate kind of grace, standing complet

    Simon barely had time to knock before Reyes's voice barked through the door. "Get in here." He stepped inside, already bracing himself for what was to come but nothing prepared him for what happened next. Reyes cranked the volume of the television the moment he shut the door behind him. "...and in a stunning reversal, sources close to the investigation now suggest there is insufficient evidence to substantiate any of the claims linking mayoral candidate Peter Halloway to the disappearance of Elena Voss two decades ago. Mr. Halloway's campaign released a statement this morning expressing relief, calling the ordeal 'a coordinated attack by political enemies desperate to derail an honest man's candidacy.' Several public figures who previously voiced suspicion toward Halloway have since issued formal apologies, with one prominent commentator stating that..." Reyes muted the television with a sharp jab of the remote before turning to face Simon with a slow mocking smile. "Well. W

    "No, that has to be it. You are joking. Are there cameras anywhere?" Alez looked around eagerly. "I have seen what kids are up to these days and this can be a prank. It has to be one." He solely tried to convince himself but Saint simply stared at him blankly. Only then did Alez calmed down and allowed reality to sink into him. Saint wasn't lying to him. He covered his mouth, disbelief still on his face. "How, Saint? How could you have let this happen?" Saint began to explain how everything had occurred right from high school to when they finally met again. "I really tried my best to stay away but it was always as if fate had something else planned in store for me. I tried to not let the feelings grow but the more I spent time with him, the more I couldn't help it or stop myself. He is like a burning fire, dad. I can't stay away no matter how hard I try to." " ‘Burning fire’ simply means you know he can burn you. Whatever is happening right now can end up biting you in

    Saint pushed the door open, a small bell chiming over his head. He was greeted with the scent of caramelized sugar and toasted yeast that was hanging in the air. Alez stood behind the counter. His frame was now thicker than it had been twelve years ago and his movements were now slower. He was dusting a tray of flaky croissants so his hands were weathered and dusted with white flour. "You look like you have seen a ghost," Saint said after a minute of Alez staring at him, completely in shock to see the young man after a long time. Alez beamed and quickly wiped his hand on his apron. He stepped around the counter and pulled Saint into a crushing hug. "Oh my goodness. What have I done to see this moment again? I thought you had forgotten about me." He said and distanced himself a little to look at Saint even more with admiration. "Forgotten about you? Be serious, dad." Saint chuckled. It had been years since they saw each other. Ever since Saint came back from the North where

    Seraphina crossed her legs as the blue light of the laptop screen cast a ghostly pallor over her face. She was scrolling through the corporate profile of Aethelgard Logistics, her eyes going over the mission statements and lists of subsidiaries. Right now, she was trying to go through businesses to see which one exactly she was interested in joining and becoming their competitor if the idea gets her attention. Her bedroom door clicked open and Olivia peeped at her. "Can I come in?" "Yes mother." She answered without really looking her way. Olivia entered and shut the door gently behind her. "You've been staring at that screen for days now." "Well, a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do. Who knows what might happen next? My father might cut off my access to his funds. What will I do when that happens, hmm? I'd become a beggar." Olivia sat next to her daughter, placing her hand on her shoulders and shaking her head at the same time. "That will never happen. Not in

  • Marrying His Sister, Loving Her Brother    CHAPTER 81. STUDY.

    Simon opened the door to find Mike standing on the porch with his backpack slung over one shoulder and a few books in his arm. "What are you doing here?" Simon asked him, crossing his arms as he awaited a specific response. It was already evening and he hoped to spend the time in peace. Mike looked at his books and then at Simon again as if indirectly communicating something already to him. "To read." He finally answered. "Do you have a problem with informing me ahead? Does this place look like a library?" "Which library would be open by now? Also, if I were to stay at the apartment, I might not end up reading anymore which was why I came here." Mike offered a small hopeful smile. "I brought my study materials along and I was hoping you'd quiz me as I study. After all, you are more disciplined, smart and terrifyingly organised. I figured you'd make an excellent taskmaster."Simon sighed, stepping aside to let him in anyway. It was too late to tell him to go back. "I ca
