View MoreEthan stepped into the pulsating heart of the club, where flashing lights danced across the crowded dance floor. The thumping bass reverberated through his body, and the air was electric with the energy of strangers united in their quest for a good time. He navigated through the sea of bodies, his eyes fixed on the bar, where he intended to lose himself for the night.
As he took a seat at the bar, the bartender raised an eyebrow at Ethan's tailored suit and air of confidence. "What can I get you?" He asked, his voice raised over the music.
"The most expensive drink you have." Ethan replied, his voice firm.
The bartender nodded and slid a glass of amber liquid toward Ethan. He tossed it back, feeling the burn all the way down. The music seemed to grow louder, the lights flashing faster, as he lost himself in the rhythm.
Before long, Ethan was drunk, his inhibitions shed like a skin he no longer needed. He got up from his seat and stumbled through the crowd, the flashing lights and pulsating music fueling his reckless abandon. He made his way to the DJ booth, snatching the microphone from the DJ's hand. The DJ protested, "Hey, give that back!" But Ethan ignored him, walking away with the mic.
Ethan staggered back to the bar, microphone in hand, and climbed onto the table. The crowd's attention turned to him, curious about the commotion. With a drunken grin, Ethan raised the microphone to his lips.
"Tonight." He slurred. "All drinks are on me!"
The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, whistles and shouts filling the air. Ethan laughed, feeling a rush of freedom. "Party to your heart's content!" He yelled, before tossing the microphone aside.
The music roared back to life, and the crowd surged forward, dancing and laughing. Ethan stumbled, almost losing his balance on the table, but managed to steady himself, basking in the chaos and revelry he'd unleashed.
Tomorrow was his 26th birthday as well as his engagement party. He'll be getting engaged to a girl he's only met once. Not because of love, but because their families can offer each other the most profitable business alliance.
His parents didn't' even know he was not attracted to women, neither did he dare to openly come out knowing what will be at risk. The heir to a billion-dollar corporation being gay would be a devastating scandal, and that would ruin his father the most. Ethan didn't have the energy to put up with all that, and that's why he simply agreed to getting married. But one thing was sure... He would never be able to give that girl the love she deserves, and he'd make sure to make that clear to her soon enough.
He came to the bar tonight as his last act of rebellion before he gets trapped in a marriage he doesn't even want.
Through the noise and flashing lights, Ethan noticed a stranger watching him from across the room. His chiseled features and piercing eyes seemed almost otherworldly under the flashing lights. Dark hair framed his sharp jawline, and a small smile played on his lips as he watched Ethan with an intensity that made Ethan's heart skip a beat. The stranger's presence was captivating, drawing Ethan in with an irresistible pull.
For once in his life, Ethan wanted to do something for himself. Without thinking at all, he pushed his way through the crowd, walked up to the stranger and kissed him right on the lips, he'd expected the man to push him away, but that didn't happen. The stranger was frozen for a moment, but when he regained himself, he wrapped his hand around Ethan's waist, pulling him closer as he deepened the kiss, a kiss that was more than enough to make Ethan lose all his senses.
Things began to get heated and Ethan had to pull away for a second to catch his breath. "Wait.'' He said, breathlessly. "Not here."
"Damn it!" The stranger grunted, his impatience evident in his voice. "Come with me." He took Ethan's hand and dragged him out of the bar.
"Where are we going?" Ethan asked, struggling to stand up straight.
"A hotel. Get in.'' The stranger didn't give Ethan the chance to ask more questions. He guided him into the car, slamming the door shut behind him. He swiftly took the driver's seat and sped off toward the nearest hotel he could find.
****
They were finally at the hotel. Ethan who was obviously still drunk didn't even resist when the stranger slammed his lips against his in a heated moment of passion.
Soon, their clothes went flying across the room. Both fully naked now, the man pushed Ethan on the king sized bed and stared at him with a burning intensity in his eyes.
Ethan, fully captivated by the stranger's sexiness was far too gone to even think about his actions. He couldn't stop now, it was far too late to stop now.
The stranger slowly got on top of him while staring deeply at his face, taking in every inch of him, memorizing every feature.
He began trailing wet kisses down his body, kissing every inch, as if worshipping him.
Ethan grew impatient by the minute. He grabbed a fist full of his hair, pushed his face towards his and kissed him with such hunger and an urgency that made the stranger giddy with need.
Ethan let out a soft moan as his body trembled beneath the stranger's, his hips slowly thrusting back and forth.
"Please." He cried, begging for more. He wanted more of his touch, he wanted more of everything.
The stranger swiftly turned him around.
"I'll try to be gentle." The stranger whispered in his ear, then gently sucked on his earlobe.
They spent a very wild and passionate night together, having sex more than once, and to Ethan—it was worth every bit and he enjoyed every single bit of it.
Ethan woke up the next day to an empty bed with no sign of the stranger, only his necklace which he must have forgotten and his amazing scent that still lingered in the air, reminding Ethan of the passionate night they'd spent.
The stranger was now a part of Ethan, and the memories of their night together was something he would remember for a very long time....
Alex leaned casually against his car, arms crossed, the streetlight casting sharp shadows on his face. He watched Ethan with an unreadable expression, a hint of amusement playing at the corners of his lips.Ethan, however, was far from amused.His chest heaved, his fists clenched at his sides. He glared at Alex with pure hatred, the fury simmering beneath his skin like an untamed wildfire. He had fought, struggled, tried to outrun the men Alex had sent after him, but it had been pointless. They had caught him, dragged him to Alex's car like some reckless criminal, and now he stood here, defeated yet burning with defiance."I swear.'' Ethan hissed, his voice sharp enough to cut through the night air. "I'm going to make you pay for this."Alex merely scoffed, the smirk widening on his face. "Go inside, Ethan. I'll have someone bring your car to you first thing tomorrow morning.''Ethan's jaw tightened. "I'm not a child. Stop treating me like one."Alex chuckled, shaking his head. "You a
The bass thumped through the club like a heartbeat, reverberating in Ethan's chest as he leaned back against the sleek leather booth. Marcel sat beside him, nursing a drink, but his eyes kept flicking towards Ethan, watching.On the stage, a male and female dancer twirled around the pole, their movements fluid and hypnotic, but Ethan wasn't focused on the performance. His gaze was distant, clouded by thoughts he didn't want to entertain.Marcel noticed. Leaning closer, he raised his voice over the pounding music. "You good, man?" Ethan snapped out of his trance, offering a quick nod. "Yeah. I'm fine."Marcel didn't buy it. He studied Ethan for a moment before exhaling and waving it off. "Look, we're here to loosen up. Have fun. Try to relax."Before Ethan could respond, the female dancer peeled away from the stage, her hips rolling in perfect rhythm to the beat. She approached him, each step slow, international, as she danced in front of him, a seductive invitation.But Ethan wasn't
Ethan sat at his desk, completely focused, his fingers moving quickly over the keyboard. His office was neat and modern, filled with dark wood and sleek furniture. The large windows let in the soft glow of the setting sun, casting warm light across the room.He was deep in work, typing away, eyes glued to the screen. His posture was straight, his mind sharp, nothing could pull him away from his task.Until his phone rang.The sudden noise made him pause. Exhaling, he picked up the receiver."Yes?" He said, not bothering to hide his impatience.His secretary's voice came through. "Sir, a business associate is here to see you."Ethan frowned. He hadn't scheduled a meeting. "I wasn't expecting anyone." He murmured, but didn't dwell on it. "Send them in."Without another thought, he went right back to work.Minutes later, the office door opened, but Ethan didn't look up. He kept typing, unaware of the visitor stepping inside.The man was dressed in an expensive suit, a deep charcoal color
As Ethan descended the stairs, Lily's face lit up with relief. "Hey," She said, slipping her hand into his. Ethan's instincts recoiled at the touch, but he forced a reassuring smile."Marcel said you got nervous and left. Are you feeling better now?'' She asked, concern etched in her voice."I'm fine now." Ethan replied. His gaze wandered, scanning the crowd for a familiar figure. He spotted Alex laughing with a group of ladies and a plan began to take shape. Ethan's eyes locked onto Alex, a calculating glint sparkling in their depths. He squeezed Lily's hand, feigning affection. "Wanna dance?"Lily was stunned by his question, but it made her happy; although she knows that their marriage is mainly because of their family businesses, and Ethan doesn't truly love her, but she loves him so much and is willing to wait for him to fully accept her; she'll do everything to make sure he accepts her. "Sure." She replied with a smile, trying to hide her excitement a bit.Ethan held her hand an
"Ethan!" Marcel nudged his arm, and that brought Ethan back to reality."Please excuse me." He immediately excused himself and left there in a hurry."Ethan!" Marcel called out to him, but Ethan completely ignored him.Lily furrowed her brow in confusion. "Is he okay? Is something wrong?" She asked Marcel."No, he's just nervous, I'll go check on him." Marcel replied and apologized to her for Ethan's behaviour before leaving. Unknown to Marcel, Alex secretly followed him.Marcel went straight to Ethan's room. He found him there pacing back and forth with a worried expression on his face."What's wrong, Ethan? I know you don't want this wedding, but leaving like that was wrong. You made Lily feel bad." "Just leave me alone, Marcel. I want to be alone right now, I...I'll apologize to her later." He replied, running his hand through his hair as he let out a frustrated sigh.Marcel studied him for a moment. He's been friends with Ethan since they were in college, and he could easily tell
Ethan was lost in a deep slumber when a burst of sunlight streaming through the window hit his eyes, forcing him to groggily open them. As he squinted, he made out his mother's figure standing by the window, her expression stern. It was clear she had pulled back the curtains, flooding the room with light. Ethan let out a disgruntled groan. "Mom, seriously? Close the window. I've got a killer headache." He rubbed his temples, trying to alleviate the throbbing in his head.His mother didn't budge, her arms crossed over her chest. "Have you gone crazy, Ethan!?" She yelled. "Did you forget what today is? It's your engagement party, yet you went ahead and got yourself wasted last night. You need to get up and get ready."Ethan let out a frustrated sigh and pulled the blanket over his head. "Five more minutes, Mom. My head is banging.'' Ethan replied, but his mother wasn't having it. She strode over to the bed and yanked the blankets off him, then she grabbed the glass of water on his bedsi
