LOGINWhen he pulled back, he smiled and licked his chin. “You got some cum hanging there.” Lucas gazed down shyly, his breath still uneven. Alex lifted his chin. “Baby, are you feeling shy?” He asked him, smiling lightly. Lucas shook his head negatively, avoiding his eyes. “Really now? Baby, I'm your honey, don't feel shy around me, hmm.” Alex sat up and eased him down on the opposite side of the couch. “You did great, baby,” he whispered as his hand kept roaming over his body. Every touch lingered. Every kiss meant something. And even in the new rising heat between them, there was still that same softness underneath it all. It was something real and precious. Something both of them couldn't deny. Alex paused and whispered, “You’re really, my world, baby.” Then he leaned in again, pressing a trail of slow, affectionate kisses along Lucas’s jaw. It was unhurried, intentional, each one drawing a softer reaction from him. Lucas’s hand slid up, threading into Alex’s hair. H
This time, it wasn’t light. The kiss started slowly, almost teasing, with soft brushes of lips, unhurried, as if he was savoring every second. But the longer it lingered, the deeper it grew. Lucas melted into it almost instantly. A quiet sound slipped from him as his hands moved from Alex’s chest to his shoulders, gripping lightly as the kiss intensified. Alex tilted his head, pressing closer, drawing Lucas in until there was barely any space left between them. Their breaths mingled. The kiss turned warmer, fuller, and more exploring. Alex’s thumb traced slowly along Lucas’s jaw as he deepened the kiss, unspoken emotions pouring through every movement. Need, affection, something almost consuming but still controlled, still tender. Lucas responded just as eagerly, his fingers tightening slightly as he leaned into Alex, matching him, meeting every slow, lingering motion with one of his own. Time seemed to blur. The quietness of the house seemed to increase the tempo. All
After a moment, Lucas said almost in a whisper, “I don’t understand,” I didn’t agree to anything. I told him I needed time.” “I know,” Emily said. “That’s why I’m calling. He didn’t sound angry or anything. He sounded, just really sure. Like the two of you had already agreed.” Lucas ran a hand through his hair, trying to make sense of it. First, the apology. Then the bank account and now this? None of it added up. “Did he say anything else?” Lucas asked. “No,” Emily replied softly. “Just that things are going to be different this time.” Another silence followed. Lucas leaned back against the seat, his thoughts racing, confusion written all over his face. “Okay,” he said finally. “Just, hold onto the keys for now. Let's see how long he will leave it in your care.” “I will,” she said. “Lucas, are you okay?” He hesitated before responding, “I don’t know, Em. I need time to think this over and give him my condition.” After ending the call, Lucas slowly lo
We believed the drink was meant for Lucas,” Dan said. Someone pointed the server at Lucas, but the person's face was not detected yet. The securities were still trying to track the guy. But one certain truth is that whoever did it wasn’t targeting you. He was targeting him.” For a moment, Alex couldn’t even breathe. His eyes instinctively turned toward Lucas, who was still standing near the counter, talking to the nurse without any idea what was going on. “And that’s not all,” Dan continued. Alex’s voice dropped dangerously low. “Say it.” “The person who pulled down your pants that night,” Dan paused. “It’s the same man who was talking to Lucas earlier.” Alex’s expression darkened instantly as “James.” escaped his lips. The name came out like a threat.Memories flashed through his mind. The betrayal, the blackmail, the ten million he had made away with years ago. Alex’s jaw clenched so hard it hurt. “So he came back to taunt me,” Alex muttered. “He came back fo
“If they’re working together…” he muttered. “That means everything happening is planned,” Alex finished. Lucas’s voice dropped. “Exactly what it looks like, planned work.” A tense silence followed. Then Alex straightened, something colder, or rather more dangerous, settling into his demeanor. “Good,” he said quietly. Lucas blinked. “Good?” Alex’s lips curved into a faint, chilling smile. “Because if they’re working together,” he picked up his phone, already moving with purpose, “Then taking one of them down might bring the other straight to me.” Lucas gazed at him but couldn’t shake the feeling twisting in his gut.Because if they were right, then they weren’t just being watched. It felt like they were being hunted. Suddenly, Alex chuckled again, “I just changed my mind about reporting him to the police.” Lucas gazed in confusion, “Why?” Alex didn’t respond but smiled. Then, without wasting another second. He pulled out his phone, selected the picture, and
The sound didn't just cut sharply through the moment. It got both their hearts racing in fear as their kiss broke. The silence that followed their first reaction was heavy as their eyes locked on each other. Mac? The same thought hit them at once. Tension snapped back into place, thick and suffocating. The phone continued vibrating against the bed. Lucas swallowed, his chest tightening as he slowly reached for the phone. His fingers hesitated for just a second before picking it up. He glanced at the screen and then blinked. “It’s… not him,” Lucas said, a hint of confusion in his voice. Alex frowned. “Who is it?”Lucas turned the phone slightly toward him. “Your sister.” Alex’s expression shifted instantly, to surprise, then concern.He took the phone from Lucas. His brows knitted slightly as he answered. “Hey… what’s up?” “Alex… you need to listen to me carefully.” Annie’s voice came through fast and tight with urgency. Alex straightened slightly. “Annie,
Ignoring Zenith, he bent, picked up the ladle, dropped it in the sink, and picked up another clean one. Then closed his eyes—just for a heartbeat. He inhaled deeply. Then again and again. It worked like magic. The chaos around him faded, replaced by the memory of a quiet kitchen. The long nights of
Zenith’s throat bobbed. “I…I don’t know what he’s talking about. Anyone could’ve touched it.”Alex took a step closer. “You were the only senior staff member on the floor after closing last night.” Zenith’s voice rose. “Are you accusing me now too?”Alex didn’t raise his voice.He didn’t need to
Lucas's heart picked up, thudding, and he nearly said he would miss him too, but luckily Alex spoke. “Do you have an apartment here?” He asked slowly hoping that he wouldn't. Lucas stared straight ahead. “No but this is where I’m staying, at least for now.” Alex hissed out a relieved breat
All he wanted desperately was to taste Lucas’s lips again. He was already too close, his breath warm against Lucas’s face as he murmured, low and urgent, “My Lucas… I’m craving to taste your lips again.” The words barely left his mouth before reality struck. Just as he leaned in, instinct overro
