Critical Role Campaign 4

"ไอ้บ้า!" ฉันตะโกนออกมาจนสุดเสียง พยายามดิ้นแรงๆ เพราะหวังจะหลุดจากการเกาะกุมให้ได้ แต่แรงเท่ามดแบบฉัน ไม่สามารถสู้แรงช้างแบบหมอนี่ได้เลย "ไม่เลิกอวดดีก็ดีเหมือนกัน จุกขึ้นมา จะได้ไม่ต้องโทษฉัน!" "กรี๊ดดดดด!" ฉันกรี้ดออกมาอย่างขัดใจ สองแขนถูกหมอนั่นกดลงกับเตียงเอาไว้ แล้วหมอนั่นก็ใช้ปากกับหน้าอกของฉัน ทั้งขบ ทั้งกัด ทั้งดูดแบบนั้น มันบวมเป่งจนไม่รู้จะบวมตรงไหนแล้ว เนินอกที่เคยขาวผ่อง หมอนั่นก็ฝากรอยจนเกลื่อนกลาด หมอนี่มันเถื่อนมากกว่าที่ฉันคิดเอาไว้ด้วยซ้ำ "เกลียด ฉันเกลียดนาย!" "เกลียดได้ แต่จำด้วย ว่าเธอเป็นของใคร!" หมอนั่นพันธนาการข้อมือของฉันด้วยมือเพียงข้างเดียว ก่อนจะค่อยๆ ปลดกางเกงยีนส์ราคาแพงของตัวเองออกไป ไม่ต้องบอกเลย ว่าฉันกำลังจะเจอกับอะไรในรูปแบบไหน เพราะนับตั้งแต่วันนั้น วันที่เป็นวันเกิดของฉัน วันที่เราไปดื่มกันที่ผับ แล้วเพื่อนสนิทของฉันที่ชื่อเวกัสได้หายไป คนแรกที่ฉันสงสัย คือเพื่อนสนิทของนายคนนี้ แต่แทนที่มันจะบอกฉันดีๆ แต่กลับใช้วิธีสกปรก ให้ฉันยอมตกเป็นของมัน

“Why do you keep looking at me like I’ve died before?” Elion’s voice trembles—half accusation, half fear. Cale freezes. He shouldn’t know. He shouldn’t remember. But he does. Every scream. Every last breath. Every timeline where Elion slipped through his hands. After a viral scandal destroys his career, Elion joins a reality dating show hoping to fix his reputation. The last thing he expects is a partner who knows his coffee order, his sleeping habits, his childhood lullaby—things he never shared on camera. And when time itself begins to glitch around him, Elion starts asking the question Cale has spent lifetimes trying to avoid: “Have we… met before?” Because Cale isn’t human. He’s a reaper who has rewound time again and again just to keep Elion alive—each reset costing him pieces of his memory. Now the countdown is almost over. One more death. One final rewind. One impossible choice: Save Elion… or stay with him as a mortal who remembers nothing. When a romance made for television turns into a battle against destiny, how far will a reaper go to protect the only soul he has ever chosen?
