2024-10-29 19:42:56This three-way date felt awkward. Watching Wulf and Skyler chatting away like old friends, even flirting with one another, was not something I could accept. I held my tongue, however, as I would not let him win this quarrel between us. If I had to play along to win, I would do so, but I was constantly on edge as I expected to say something to wind me up.
I dug at the steak on my plate idly. I really couldn’t figure out Wulf’s plan for me. So far, things had been quiet because he hadn’t tried to insult me. Perhaps he is hoping I’ll be the one to start on him? I refuse to sink to his level.
As another trilling laughter escapes Skyler’s lips, I put the piece of meat into my mouth. I watch as those two continue to flirt and talk with each other, but I have no interest in what they’re saying. I’m paying just enough attention to hear if I am needed to reply to something, but otherwise, I stay silent.

The awkward date continued for a while longer until things got worse. Much worse. Skyler had another client to see, and now that means I am left alone with Wulf. I refuse to use his first name, even after all this. Any sign that I’m giving in to him will only encourage him more and there is no way in the Outlands I will allow that.As I watch my only protection vanish into her client’s car, I feel my anxiety flare-up. Glancing as subtly as I can towards Wulf, I see that he still has his eyes on Skyler for the time being. I cannot believe that he wants to spend time with me in bed. If I was shallow enough to care about nothing but the money, maybe I’d give in and do it just to get rid of him, but I can’t bring myself to sleep with anyone other than Kain.“I can feel you watching me, as always,” Wulf torments me with his words. I quickly look away again and hiss, “not for the reasons you hope. We will never

“You live here?” Wulf’s question made me vaguely aware that not everyone knew Kain had forced me to live in one of his apartment rooms. I hadn’t intended to let Wulf follow me home, but after drinking a bit too much, I wasn’t really thinking straight when he offered to take me home and now the two of us were just outside the building with him gawking up at it in envy.“I guess I do?” Came my reply with a shrug of my shoulders. I wasn’t so drunk that I couldn’t speak or walk, just drunk enough to let my guard down a bit too much, it seemed. It never crossed my mind to keep my living situation hidden from anyone. Not that I had ever shared it with anyone, but thinking about it now, perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to let others know.Wulf’s gaze looked back at me, his brow raised slightly at my reaction. “You guess?” He inquired as he took a few steps closer to me. “Th

I can feel my whole body grow uncomfortably hot from the pressure of Kain’s stare. A bead of sweat drips down my forehead as he waits for me to answer his question. We moved into my apartment, but his annoyance at not answering his messages has not lessened, even after I said I was sorry and that I had just been preoccupied with my client. “I don’t understand why this is still an issue? Did I not already say sorry for not noticing and replying? You didn’t have to get riled up like this,” I said, furrowing my brows. It wasn’t the answer to his question. He had wanted to know what client was so important that I had neglected to tell my boyfriend that I’d be late home. However, not once did he ever mention he wanted to spend the night with me! He said he’d be back late himself! Pushing his glasses back up on his nose, Kain stared down at me with a flare of annoyance. However, he took in a deep breath to calm himself before answering, “because I wo

Light, feathery kisses trail down my neck to my collarbone as I feel familiar warm hands sneak up my chest until they reach my nipples. With a slight tweak between his finger and thumb, I can’t help but let out a lustful moan. Squirming on his lap, I cannot escape his touch, as I struggle against the bonds that hold my wrists behind my back. And if that wasn’t enough, he also had me blindfolded, so I couldn’t see anything. I know for a fact that I do not own any of this stuff in my apartment, so the only other option was that Kain had had the items with him. Had my boyfriend planned this all along as punishment for my actions? Or was he waiting for me with these things, anyway? They were the only explanations I could think of. Now that I couldn’t see or use my hands to fight off Kain’s fondling, all I could do was to submit to his every whim. I felt his hands now grabbing my backside with a tight squeeze, pushing me up flush against his body. A

SLAP!I quickly pull back my hands as the piano instructor slaps down her stick on my fingers. She wasn’t harsh with her strike, but it’s still enough to cause a stinging sensation to vibrate throughout my hand. I sigh and close my eyes. I don’t know why she has become so strict lately, but for whatever reason, she has been in such a foul mood whenever I mess up a key.“Again, from the top!” She chides me and taps her stick against the music sheet. I want to take a break as we’ve been at this all morning, but I have no desire for her ire right now, so I make no sound to protest. I have to focus on the music notes until I can play this song off the top of my head. That was my order for the day and if I failed to perform to standard, then I would have to spend all night here until I got it right.I couldn’t allow that to happen. Kain had promised me something special if my instructor reported that I

“Say it again!” I almost yell out in excitement to Kain as we wait for the elevator to head down to the car park. I have to get him to say it again because it doesn’t seem real! “You have to say it again! Say it!” A small smirk crosses Kain’s lips at me, even as I hold on tight to both of his arms and peer up at him with wide eyes. I don’t even care that people are staring at us right now, because what Kain just said to me has my mind full of energy! I stick my bottom lip out into a pout while I give him the best puppy-dog eye expression I can muster. Rolling his eyes at me, though still holding that smirk, Kain mutters low enough for only me to hear, “can you get any cuter?” He keeps his pose professional, a far cry from me right now. I find myself blushing and withdrawing a little. I am just too happy with this news. “Sorry, it’s just… you’re not joking? I really will?” I ask, looking back at Kain with bright, hopeful eyes. Ka

To say I am intensely nervous would be an understatement. This week passed by so fast that I didn’t have time to process my position! It was only now, the night of my first performance, that everything suddenly felt real to me. I took a deep breath in, then let it out again slowly. I had to calm my nerves before the show started, or else I might make a mistake and that wouldn’t reflect well on me, nor Kain.Speaking of the man, Kain had made sure I had been dressed to impress, and that we had a matching set. It was cute of him to make us match. He couldn’t openly tell people we were a pair, but he showed it in his secretive ways, and that thought alone warmed my heart.“I’m surprised you asked me to be your plus one tonight,” Skyler says as she drags my attention away from Kain. I offer her a smile as we sit in the limo on the way to our event. She looks absolutely beautiful, though not a

Looking over at the piano, I noticed this one was much grander than the one I practised with. Not that the practice one was of poor quality. Oh no. Even that piano had been made for Kings. The only thing that separated these two, was that the training one had been played so often by trainees that it had grown a bit weathered.I was nervous about performing in front of such an enormous crowd, but I knew I could do it. There was no way I was going to pass up this opportunity of a lifetime. If I could impress people here today, then I knew I’d be able to continue down this path Kain had picked for me. It wasn't my original goal but I trusted him.For now, the ballroom was mostly empty, as people were being entertained elsewhere, but they would start pouring in eventually, and then it would be my turn. Well, not just me, but a few others would play something before and after me, but that doesn’t stop me from feeling

A year has passed since everything happened and although a lot has changed, things have also stayed the same. I’ve become well known for my musical skills now, but Kain has caved in and allowed me to perform in a few acting roles. He has no more excuses to keep me to himself, outside of him mentoring me, as I have already proven I am one of the best Lotus Pond Entertainment has. However, I still have a long way to go before I am as popular as Kain used to be, so my promotion to the Face of the Company is still a long way off. Today, however, is the day Kain finally tells the entire world publicly about his plans for the company and me in particular. I have never felt so nervous and anxious as I do right now at this extravagant press conference. Out of all of my training, all of my public appearances, nothing has been so hyped up as this moment. It feels like everyone in the world is watching us right now, and they probably are!

Rose’s home is a place I never expected to find myself in, yet here I am with Kain, Drake, Rhiana, and even Wulf. I never thought I’d be happy to see him, but he has become a good friend, probably closer to me than Skyler, because he at least knows everything now, and I can trust him to keep it a secret. One day, I want to fill Skyler in too, but until Kain is ready to come out to the rest of the world, that isn’t an option. Wulf, much like Kain, prefers men but has openly flirted with women, to the point of being seen as a womanizer. The two have much in common but are very different people. I wish I could help Wulf find peace with himself over whoever hurt him, but all I can do is to be his friend and hope that’s enough. “You’re staring at me, Liam,” Wulf teases playfully, as he spots me looking in his direction. I blush faintly and look away. I don’t need him flirting with me while Kain is here! “S-sorry,” I mumble, looking at my lap

My whole body hurts from last night. There isn’t a part of me that doesn’t hurt. Even with Kain being overly gentle and preparing me beforehand, I still hurt. However, I wouldn’t change last night for anything. It was as perfect as things could have been. He wasn’t in one of his odd moods where he wanted to do strange things, instead, he was all gentle and loving towards me. Despite the aches I am in, I agreed to meet up with Wulf. After all, me not going back to his last night seemed to have worried him, even though he had received my text to tell him I would be safe. Besides, I probably should let him know that I’ve made up with the person who I like. Thankfully, Wulf agreed to meet me somewhere nearby and Kain has gone to work so that I do not have to worry about him getting jealous or clingy in front of Wulf. We should keep our make-up private until we’ve seen Malak Rose again. Once we’ve gotten him to back off, then

As soon as we get back to Kain’s apartment, his familiar scent fills my nose. I make sure Wulf knows I won’t be back tonight, as making him worry wouldn’t be fair at all. We may have started on the wrong foot, but he has become a friend during this entire ordeal. I’ve missed this place more than I thought I might, but I don’t get the chance to think much about our time apart as I find my back is pushed against the wall as soon as we lock the door behind us. Kain’s lips slam against mine, kissing me desperately. I can’t help but moan into his lips and wrap my arms around his neck. I’ve missed this so much that it hurts. I feel Kain’s hands lower down to my legs and hoist me up, causing my legs to wrap around his hips automatically. He breaks the kiss for a moment to mumble, “never leave me again, Liam. I can’t live without you at my side. These last few days have been awful.” I wiggle my nose at him in mock annoyan

Joy overflowed through my whole body, as everything I had wondered about Rhiana was confirmed by the two sitting across from me. She was indeed someone who preferred other women, and in fact, was planning on marrying her girlfriend of several years. “I started working here, just to get away from the hustle and bustle of a rich life, and to avoid my father. He often tries to drag me into his social parties to meet people,” Rhiana complained with a roll of her eyes. “This isn’t a glamorous life, but there are many people who love to spend cash on things they can’t touch, so I’m happy to get this sense of freedom.” “Your father is as old as mine. He should have retired a long time ago,” Kain says, shaking his head. He then takes another sip of his drink and then adds, “but why drag me involved in all this? Does he have money troubles?” “No, nothing like that. It might be my fault for avoiding this co

“Do you really hate me so much now?” The question Kain proposed to me had my heart pounding and aching so much that I felt dizzy and sick. Of course, I didn’t hate Kain! The problem wasn’t because I hated him, quite the opposite in fact! It was because I loved him so deeply, so hard, that it hurts to even see his face or hear his voice. “Sir, that isn’t helping at all. You’re just making him feel even more afraid,” Drake chided softly. “You don’t hate the boss, do you, Liam?” He then asked, his voice much softer. I shook my head slowly but refused to come out of my scrunched up position on the padded bench of the booth. It was a rather awkward position, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at anything around me. A sigh escaped Kain’s lips. It sounded like it relieved him to know I didn’t hate him. “Then you will not quit, right?” His question made me angry, but before I could shoot him a glare, he continued to say,

The flicker of the streetlight above my head is grinding my gears. I almost want to yell at the top of my voice for someone to come and fix the broken thing, but I don’t. I’ve already made a fool of myself once today, no reason to make such a thing known to the public too! I don’t know why Drake wanted to meet me here, of all places, but I can tell that this isn’t one of his usual hangouts. At least, none that he has ever taken me to before. The area is quite a distance away from where we work, to where I think we might even be closer to the Outskirts than anywhere near the city centre. The buildings are not quite falling apart, but they’ve certainly seen better days. That includes the annoying streetlight. Still, despite the almost rundown appearance, many people seem to come to this place. The sign gave little away about the type of hangout it was. All I could tell was that they named it, ‘The Moist Pussy’. I thought it was an odd nam

It has been almost a whole week now since I last saw Kain in person. It almost feels like he is avoiding me deliberately, much like I was doing to him. However, regardless if I am avoiding him or not, I can’t help but get even angrier at him for evading me for this long! Call me a hypocrite, but I don’t care at this point. He is such a jerk-face! I vow to myself, as soon as I see him, I am going to give him a piece of my mind! Maybe I’ll even go to his office and scold him! That’s an idea! However… the moment I get to his floor, I hesitate. I’m the one who ran out on him, crying no less. Now that I can see his office door, my anxiety has me unable to take another step forwards. What if he has already moved on and stopped caring about me? What if he has already met with this woman and she is all over him and I disturb them in the middle of something!? I can’t do this! I shake my head and turn around, darting back t
