Chapter: 91.*****(Love Story. Pt:2)*****Michael forced himself to sit straight again, gripping the steering wheel tightly until his knuckles turned white, and stared intently through the windshield as if everything that had just happened hadn't happened at all. His finger reached out to punch into the starter button but this time it wasn't the shakiness that froze their movements, no, it was the sight of the man he was running away from standing right there, in front of his car like he was waiting to be run over that froze him. He was frozen to the spot. The same way he had been in the hallway before. Staring into his dark blue eyes. Feeling like he could drown in them. It was then Michael noticed something different about this man; his eyes looked... empty. Cold, and soulless. Almost lifeless. Michael frowned, trying to see past the man's icy exterior.There was definitely some emotion behind the glass, some sort of anger maybe. Something like that. If only Michael could decipher
Chapter: 92.*****(Love story. Pt:3)******It was a weird experience, but a wonderful one. Like something he'd never experienced before, something that made him feel strange, yet exhilarated. His body was on fire and he wanted nothing more than to pull the stranger in again, to press their bodies together and stay close like this forever and never let go again. He swallowed hard as their faces drew closer until their foreheads touched. This guy was gorgeous! His lips looked so perfect, so soft and inviting, so sweet and full of flavor that he just wanted to sink his teeth into them. He couldn't help but lean even further and the other male followed suit without missing a beat, letting out an almost silent whimper when their mouths collided again. It was intoxicating, it was euphoric. Their tongues danced lightly against one another, moving back and forth, tasting, tangling, exploring.There was something about the kiss which made Michael feel safe. It was peaceful. So serene and soo
Chapter: 93.*****(Love Story. Pt:4)*****Michael reached out, cupping the lean man's cheek as he stroked the soft skin below his eye with the pad of his thumb. "Easton," he said quietly, still smiling.The mention of his name from those sinful lips made Easton shudder, his lashes flutter and his breath hitched. "You know my name." He whispered, voice hoarse from the kiss.Michael chuckled lowly, nuzzling into his hand. "Yeah," he replied simply, leaning forward and bringing his lips back to where they had started, pressing featherlight kisses against the other's skin, "my brother has mentioned you a lot of times. If I knew our encounter would be so magical, I would have asked to see even a picture of you sooner." Easton chuckled softly, closing his eyes and tilting his chin up slightly for better access."Well, I wouldn't say the same for me since you and your bother look exactly the same." "Really?" Michael asked teasingly, smirking against Easton's lips when the latter chuckled
Chapter: 94.****Both twins sat in silence as they drove home. After the day that they had, neither of them really wanted to talk much. They were both still trying to process everything that happened, Michael especially. The younger twin looked out the window and sighed heavily. He wasn't exactly sure what he was thinking at that moment. His mind was still going a mile a minute. He still could not wrap his head around what had happened to him. These emotions were all too new and he couldn't process them any other way. His heart felt heavy and suddenly he was missing the man like he would die if he didn't see him again and he had only just left him. "You ok?" The older twin asked, not taking his eyes off the road as they approach the gate.Michael exhaled then brushed his hands over his face tiredly. He glanced over at his brother briefly. "Yeah, I think so. Just... a lot on my mind I guess," He replied with a shrug. The older twin nodded and turned into the opened gate.Michael got
Chapter: 95.*****A few minutes passed by when there was another knock at the door. "Come in," He called out after only a few seconds. The door opened revealing a smiling Mr. Blackadder. "Good evening!" He greeted enthusiastically. "Thank you for coming on such quick notice." Michael greeted the man politely before pouring some scotch for their guest as well. Mr. Blackadder sat silently for a second, taking in the view in front of him as he drank slowly. "I hope you traveled well?" Michael continued once the older man had finished his drink and set his glass aside.Mr. Blackadder nodded his head. "Thank you, yes." He replied before taking in another deep breath, letting the air out slowly. Silence once again hung between them. "Would you like some food?" Matthew asked, gesturing to the table that held a variety of dishes including sandwiches and fruits.Mr. Blackadder smiled, "Oh no thank you, sir, I eat too often these days." He commented with a grin plastered onto his features.
Chapter: 96.*****Both friends drove to work in comforting silence. Tide had told them that morning while they had breakfast that Matthew had agreed to grant the SoulPearl to him although he seemed very tired he could barely finish his breakfast that morning Alexander had to take him up to their bedroom and put him down gently on it so he would sleep, brushing his lips against the sleeping Merman's before leaving to go meet Easton by the door, waiting.With the help of the Mountain Tears, Tide's colors have returned, his Soulpearl recovering fast. Alexander couldn't be more grateful knowing that his Merman was healing, by the time they returned home he was certain Tide would be waiting to greet them at the door wearing that alluring smile on his face.That smile he would often see on Matthew's face. There is something about Tide and Matthew, something unique and it confuse him. Countless times he has tried to figure it out but it would leave him so completely drained he either falls
Chapter: 97.*****Raising it to eye level he gasped lightly as he looked upon a diamond dotted choker chain but upon closer inspection, he noticed it was more than that, it was a collar, almost like a dog's collar, with his name on a tag at the front. There was a small loop at the back, like the ones where they attach a lead but a little note was stuck in the loop, Alexander pulled it out and flipped the little paper open, his mouth dropped open slightly and his eyes widened a great seize when he read. 'A good owner never hurts his pets' Alexander felt his breathing quicken slightly and his heart beat just as fast. After a moment he shook his head, closed his eyes briefly, and sighed deeply before picking up the next item, holding it in front of his face, and taking a deep breath.It was some sort of adult sex toy. His hand brushed over the toy, his mind wandering where it goes, it was shaped like something that could only go into one place and one place alone. The thought made him f
Chapter: 98.*****Falcon was leaning against his desk facing the door when Alexander stumbled into the office, clutching the gift bag with both hands. Once he came face to face with the other man he halt in his track and just stood there, watching the grin on the other's face. It was a very dark grin he was wearing, one that sent Alexander's mind wandering into very forbidden places. "Come here," Matthew said in that tone, like a command, that made goosebumps bloom on his skin. The way the other man stepped forward was slow, but as he closed the distance between them, all of his thoughts flew out the window. His eyes went wide, mouth hanging open slightly as they locked onto those steel blue orbs and he couldn't take his eyes off. The other looked absolutely stunning in his suit; it fit his body perfectly, accentuating the muscles tightly. Nature is unfair. How can a man be that sexy, it's not right. Each time he saw him it would feel as though he was only seeing him for the first t
Walking side by side, both men stride down the stairs ever so gracefully, beaming smiles on their bright faces, with eyes twinkling with delight as their faces met those of men and women employees standing in wait and bowing slightly for a small nod from them before turning back to their workstations and working diligently, all except one who seemed to be more than a little preoccupied. She didn't seem to notice them until Easton tapped her softly on the shoulder and the little girl turned and immediately began to run into her father's waiting embrace. Alexander went on his knees and hugged his growing beautiful little lady, picking her up and twirling her around, both father and daughter's laughter rang throughout the house like the sweetest melody. His smile was genuine as he set his daughter back onto her feet and looked up to acknowledge Easton who was standing beside Michael and wearing a contagious smile on his handsome face. Alexander approached him and both friends clasped han
Chapter: 151.******The sweet sound of Alexander's groan of pleasure filled the air, his eyes closed and he clutched desperately at the bedsheets as if he would fall if he didn't hold onto the sheets as tightly as he did. He panted heavily as he tried to catch his breath, his eyes fluttering open and closing rapidly as a rush of adrenaline flowed through his veins, leaving him a painting mess. When he finally opened his eyes to face the scene before him, he was met by that mesmerizing blue gaze staring back at him, drenched with intense lust and arousal. Matthew could see how flushed and a mess Alexander looked, how he was sweating buckets, he also noticed how dark the color of his eyes seems to be. Like a storm ready to break loose at any given second, the way they sparkled and glistened with satisfaction, with lust, with desire. Oh, Lord. His whole body was trembling in the aftermath of that amazing orgasm, his breath heavy and unsteady, the sounds of the waves echoing in his ears,
Chapter: 150.******Matthew slowly pushed the bedroom door open and very carefully stepped into the room. He glanced toward the bed a few distances away then turned to the other side of the room and slowly began to walk to the sitting area where he proceeded to place the tray of food on a table. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure the occupant in the bed is still asleep before beginning to set up the dishes for breakfast. He placed them in the center of the small dining area along with two bowls of cereal. As he reached up to grab two forks he paused, when he heard that soothing voice."You can't possibly be after that kind of food when the perfect meal is lying in wait for you," Matthew hissed with a smile then gently returned the forks and turned around to face the bed where his lover now sat exposed, a lust-filled gaze burned deeply into his, and Alexander's naked body lay perfectly entranced as if it were waiting for Matthew to join him again, and he did just that. Inching
Chapter: 149.*****"I can't believe you're getting married," Lafayette said into the mirror where Alexander's face stared back. He was helping him get ready, while Easton stood in front of him adjusting his tie as always. A smile made its way across Alexander's lips but he didn't say a word. He still feels a bit hungover from last night. They had all dragged him around the city, dressed in a red bridal gown and massive makeup. He dragged the gown everywhere and it weighed a ton, his arms still hurt, then they made him tease dance in the clubs, did shots after shots, dared him to give Easton a lapdance then they made him eat some really weird food, going up against it wasn't an option and so he endured through their wicked idea of a bachelor party. They ended up leaving at dawn with no one sober, he barely got two hours of sleep and today is his wedding day and not to mention he hasn't seen Matthew in exactly twenty-two hours, thirty-four minutes, and six seconds, he was going crazy i
Chapter: 148.*****The two elderly couples stood side by side, watering cans in their hands as they carefully watered their prized flower plants when they spotted the flurry of automobiles pulling into their little home. Slowly they both turned and stared ahead as the first car drove in and parked, a man in a black suit exited the car and made a turn to the other side to open the doors. When they saw their son step out of the vehicle they couldn't be happier, dropping the cans they both hurried over to welcome him. Once Alexander came down, a smile so bright made his face even more handsome and he was running into their embrace just immediately. They hugged for a good while and when they pulled apart, Alexander bowed and greeted his father and mother then turned around to introduce the newcomers. Both parents smiled when they noticed the little angel that looked exactly like their son and they knew without a doubt that they were staring into the eyes of their granddaughter. Maria had
Chapter: 147.******As if knowing where Matthew would be, his legs carried him and he walked, taking fast pace, leaving the others behind. And when he got there, the little tree stood there and by the side was Matthew giving a hug to a stranger. A frown blew over his face and he groaned at what he was seeing. Knowing, neither twin appreciates close contact with anyone only made his anger more profound."I swear to god, Matthew, if you do not stop hugging him, I am personally going to cut your balls off and make an omelet out of them then feast on it beside your bleeding corpse!" He announced angrily, his voice rattling the leaves on the trees. The stranger gasped and pulled away from Matthew and bolted the other way. Alexander walked closer and stood in front of Matthew. The same spot he stood on when he crushed his foot with textbooks years ago but Alexander was too angry to acknowledge the significance of where they stood at that very moment. "Really?!" Alexander snapped, his voi
Chapter: 146.*****He didn't want to believe Matthew had left, without congratulating him, without a kiss, he didn't even wait for the ceremony to be over. Was it work? Was there an emergency? He left without any of his men. How is that even possible? Maybe he was still in the toilets. Maybe he's locked himself in. His mind went over a million and one scenarios as he ran, sprinted even, the sounds of his heels echoing in the empty halls, eyes scanning every corner and by the time he reached the men's rooms he had started walking faster than a normal human being can walk, his steps were heavy and fast. As soon as he reached the men's room he slammed the door open, startling the poor guy inside, who looked shocked at Alexander's sudden entrance but Alexander didn't seem bothered by his hateful questioning glares rather he pushed past him, running straight for the stalls and yelling for him."Baby, you in here?" He would ask with each stall he invaded. His lungs burned from lack of oxyg
Chapter: 145.*****Five Years Later And Graduation Day.******Alexander stared at his reflection in the mirror. The dress shirt was tucked neatly into his pants, the black tie hanging loosely around his neck. His hair was brushed neatly but not slicked back as he did most days, a few strands falling in front of his face. It made him want to run his fingers through it, tuck it behind his ear, but that wasn't happening this time. He was graduating. No matter how many times he'd practiced this in his mind, his eyes still felt glassy. This was it. Four years ago when Matthew surprised him with the news of him getting back to school, he didn't know how to react to the news. They had just settled, Tide had left, and he was starting to get close to his daughter but none of that could compare to the fact that he was getting back to school. Matthew was making his dreams come true, one at a time, his goals coming together. He took a deep breath, looking down at his watch and seeing it was 9:0
Chapter: 144.*****Tide lay on his bed, blinking slowly with a charming smile spread across his face. After he left Alexander in the hands of Matthew, and Atana's SoulPearl willed to him, he returned home. Aquarial remains as he left it, beautiful, and peaceful. Sea creatures moving around in every direction, Aquarial has always been so colorful, every Mer, every fish, down to their houses, high and small, all bore colors so beautiful as never seen on the Lands. But, it was late when he arrived so he went home, and slept. Tomorrow he will visit his mother first, then Neptune. And when morning came, he took care of his duties, beaming brightly as he collected spells and potions, realizing just how much he has missed his life under the Sea. But, words travel fast in Aquarial, Soulbutterfies crawling around the streets at night had seen him return and they spread the news to their owners. Tide didn't finish his spells when his mother came bargaining into his private room, yelling for h
