Yaelwokeupslowly.The hand softly running through his hair was soothing enough that he drifted comfortably for a while. When he awoke enough to want to move, he was sure that the movie Lynanwas watching was not the one he had fallen asleep to.He shifted around to look up and was met with concerned caramel hazel eyes."How long was I out for?"Lynanglanced over to the side, no doubt to check his phone, before replying, "About three hours."Yael's eyebrows shot up. No wonder he felt so well rested. He sat up and stretched before turning back to his date.Gentle fingers reached up to run across his cheek and Lynanlooked at him in concern."Are you feeling any better?""Much," he took the small questing hand in his own, pressing a kiss to Lynan’s palm and watched as Lynanflushed bright red.He couldn't get enough of the cute blushes and awkward fumbling of the youn
Lynantasted of sweet innocence, inexperience showing through but theyoung manwas eager and a quick study.Yaelbit Lynan's lower lip with careful force and grinned when he got a small, breathy moan in return.He spun Lynanaround and pushed him back against the railing, pinning him in place to continue his attack on those luscious lips.Small hands found his chest- to push him away or pull him further, he doesn't know. His question was answered though, when those same small hands tentatively moved upward to his shoulders.In the next moment, arms wrapped around his neck, a small fist forming in his hair at the back of his head as though all Lynancould do was hold on while he wasbeingkissed senseless.In a second, he snatched Lynan by the waist and pulling him close to his body and up further to his mouth. The young man gasped at the action and he took advantage of it as he licked the ginge
Yaelsighed as he accepted the tumbler of alcohol from his secretary.He had been riding high all evening on the extra sleep and activities with Lynanbut the feeling was rapidly draining away.Why did people think just because Yaelwasn't physically in the heart of the city right now that they would somehow get away with pulling shit?It wasn't even the underworld opportunists either, it was like everyone was trying to have a land grab. Not all of his business ventures were entirely above board but he mainly traded in information and tipoffs when it came to underworld dealings.That,and turning a blind eye to certain things. He truly hadn’t thought that people would bother his business so much while he was away. Thankfully he had excellent staffs.But he was irritated at having to divide his attention so Yaelhad been harsher than usual on the interlopers but the message hadn't yet gottenac
It wasn’t that bad.The alcohol certainly helped when Amystartedputting powder on his face although it was counterproductive to their current endeavour.Dressed now in a short, pleated skirt instead of his shorts with light make up and pink bow in his hair, he stood teetering in Yui’s high heels.Liev, with his hair in pig tails like an anime character, sauntered around the room in heels high enough to break his neck if he fell. He had smooth talked his way out of the dress they were keen to stuff him in but had agreed to the dark red lipstick and smoky eyes that Stellesuggested.The way the man walked in the heels was even more sensual than normal, the shoes just seemed to emphasizehis usual elegance while adding a helping of extra sex appeal.Lynanhad to admit that the man looked hot when he walked in heels.Unfortunately, Lynanlacked the coordination required to do more t
Lynanwalked into the main living room trying to will the last traces of the blush from his cheeks.As long as no one brought up the whole shower thing, he thought he would be able to carry on as normal without blushing like crazy. He hadn’t seen any camera’s when he exited so he was hopeful.He stopped in his tracks as Taylorcame barrelingon to him and it took a few seconds to register what happened. Blinking his vision clear, Lynanbrought a hand up to hisowncheek in surprise.The pain finally registered and the sound of a hand connecting with his face echoed in his ears.“YOU!” Taylor’s bright red face contorted in anger. “YOU FILTHY SLUT!”Lynanstood frozen in shock, watching as the man raised his hand once again to strike himonce more.Another hand shot out and grabbed the man’s wrist.“Don’t touch
Lynanstretched as he slowly woke up.He felt refreshed. He took a moment to realize how quiet it was. Sitting up carefully, he realized that Yaelwas also asleep.The man’s relaxed face made him look so much younger. Also far less intimidating. He reached out a hand to gently brush the strands of black hair from his face and his eyes fluttered open.Dark green eyes blinked blearily and Lynanwas rewarded with a soft, sleepy smile.“Hello,Lynan.”“Hi…” he replied almost shyly.Their faces were closer than he had initially realized and they both remained motionless while their gazes were locked.The moment was shattered by avoice declaring loudly from the other side of the room.“I hate to ruin your moment but we need to get organized forthe ceremony tonight.”Lynanleapt backwards like a startled cat; Koshstoo
Yaelsighed.He was done with the entire day and he still had the damn Scarlet Rose Ceremonyto goto. If he was honest, he was done with the entire show already at this point.It was restricting, and he had to deal with people politely even though all he wanted to do was tell them to fuck off.It was Solace’s way of punishing him for working too much and not taking his dating attempts seriously but he was at the end of his tether.All he wanted to do was take a certain cute little red orange haired boy and spend the last few weeks of the show holed up in his penthouse partaking in far more pleasurable activities.Instead, he was stuck here.At least he would be rewarded with Lynan’s cute blush as he gets called up for a rose. That is one expression he would never tire of. He would also never tire of hearing those delicious moans he pulled from the ginger head the other day in the shower.What
Lynantrudged up to the small spare bathroom in the corner of the mansion.It was his favorite, away from all the other people and usually unoccupied.He had been directed there and apparently, someone would come up with a towel and someclean clothesfor him to change into.One of the mansion’s staff members had given him a plastic bag to put his soiled suit into and they would take care of cleaning it.Heaving a sigh, he entered the bathroom, shutting the doorbehind himself and letting out another deep breath as he stripped off his suit.Would it even be salvageable?Not like it mattered now. Chances are,he was out of the show and it was just a courtesy to let him clean up before kicking him out.He closed his eyes and looked down as the hot water of the shower eased some of the tension from his body but even that couldn’t get all of it.The door opened and shut with
So it turned out that there were a lot of things going on in the mansion that Lynanhad no clue about.He was shocked when having left the show,he got to look online at not only the highlights but all the footage. While in there, he never looked much into what was going on around him because he wanted to avoid all the drama.Probably the biggest shock of all was Taylor’s suicide a week after being kicked off the show.Lynanfound out the day after Yaelhad handed him the final rose and while he disliked the manager, he couldn’t help feel but sad that he felt the need to take his own life.Surely there was more to life than one bad TV show, even if he had wanted Yael?Yaelhimself was rather close lipped about the whole thing.Lynanhad been worried that maybe he might feel upset over the death and his indirect involvement in it but the man didn’t seem to be affected or even care
A warm hand carded through Lynan’s hair, encouraging him but not demanding anything.Taking the hint, Lynanleaned forward to lick across the head and the cock jumped in his hand.Spurred on by the reaction, he set to messily lavishing attention on the cock in front of him. He spent some time licking and sucking along the length before moving to take the head in his mouth. The hand in his hair spasmed and he grinned around the length.The weight and girth of it was impressive and Lynancould barely fit much more than the head in his mouth. He hollowed his cheeks and sucked as he looked up to see Yaellooming over him with eyes blown black.A thrill ran down his spine at putting the man in such a state. It was messy, especially as he couldn’t bear to look away from the other man’s face.The hand twitched in his hair again before the other hand came down and he was pulled off the cock with an obscene slu
Lynannodded mutely, feeling a little shy suddenly.His nerves had eased,leaving a warm feeling of anticipation to take hold of his being. He slipped off of Yael’s lap and let him exit the vehicle first.Of course, when Lynanwent to exit the limo, he tripped on the edge of the floor and went flying out,face first.He mentally cursed his own clumsiness as he prepared for his inevitable face plant only to be met with cloth instead of concrete.Yael’s booming laugh filled what appeared to be an underground garage before he hefted Lynanup into his arms bridal style and moved towards an elevator.The ginger haired photographer flushed a deep red even as he wound his arms around his boyfriend’s neck. He was glad that the other man found his clumsiness funny instead of annoying like most people did but it was still embarrassing.“Don’t worry, Lynan. Iwillalways cat
Lynanwas a mess of nerves.The final Scarlet Rose Ceremonywas in a few hours and he was starting to pace because he could no longer keep still.“Lynan!”Stelleand Amypeered around the doorway to his bedroom with matching knowing grins.They strode in at his questioning look and placed a large bag on his bed. Even though they shared the bedroom, Lievwas nowhere to be found and it relieved Lynanto have a distraction from his thoughts.He wanted Yaelto pick him, he wanted to continue to get to know the man more.But what did he have to offer against the other three?The closer the time got to the ceremony, the more his thoughts headed toward the negative.Never in a million years would he have guessed that he would have cared so much about this show.“We brought some stuff to make you all pretty!”Inside the bag sat hair care products, co
The date had been amazing even with the whole ‘meet the family’ thing.Lynanlay stretched out on one couch, headphones in and playing on his hand-held gaming device.Lievsat reading on a couch while another couch was occupied byKosh. The man was going over through some documents that has nothing to do with the TV show, while Amysprawled out on the floor in front of a low coffee table carefully painting her nails.It was the kind of quiet peacefulness that was so hard to find.Forced away from their normal worries and now missing the bitchy contestants, they had all fallen into these nice, relaxed evenings. It didn't seem like it would be particularly exciting for the viewers but Koshonly grinned when he had asked about that earlier.It seemed like there were still some things he was missingout on.But he had his own worries beyond what the others were doing although if they happened
Lynan’s family were not as bad as Yaelfeared upon seeing the young man’s worried expression that morning but he definitely understood his apprehension.Florence Katz, the matriarch of the Katz family, has insisted on being calledon her name andwas a bright, bubbly and had a little too much fun pulling blushes from her only son. While Lynan’s only sibling, Bethany was just as lively. Unfortunately, Lynan and Bethany’s father was on a business trip and was not able to attend.The Katz’s ladies approved of his choice of lunch, a quiet little picnic in a beautiful lush garden that was closed off just for the occasion.He apologizedthat the food was catered rather than lovingly prepared this time but he had been informed that it couldn't have been more perfect.Lynanhad been rather surprised by the choice until Yaelmentioned that the story of the cooking together and the quiet, mor
“Please assemble for the second Scarlet Rose Ceremony.” Kosh’s voice rang out in the lounge room and everyone got to their feet. The girls had helped Lynanget ready again and had been giggling over his nervousness. He wasn't sure why they found it so damn funny but they couldn't contain themselves. Stelleeven went so far as to call him ‘oblivious’ but that didn't help him figure out what he was missingout on. He noticed that they seemed to be another person short this evening, one of the girls was missing and gossip was flying around. “Don't look so worried,” Lievpatted his shoulder. “You of all people should not be worried.” Lynanshot him a confused look, earning himself an amused half smile. “Don't underestimate yourself so much,”one final pat to the shoulder,then the man moved away to take up his spot so Lynannervously took his own as Koshwalked into the room
Lynandrifted for some time before a low conversation slowly brought him back to awareness.He listened before he recognizedthe voices and slipped one sleepy eye open.Lievsat above him and he realizedthat was whose lap he was using a pillow. He shifted slightly to look to the other side of the couch and blinked at a worried looking Kosh.“Lynan, how are you feeling?”He looked up to his friend before snuggling back down and closing his eyes again as a slender hand ran through his hair gently.“Like crap,” he mumbled.Lievlaughed. “The others are making you some soup so you can sleep for a while longer. Now, people should know not to disturb you,” Liev said looking pointedly at KoshHe heard Koshgrumble and whine all the way to the doorabout being left out of the loopand silence descended in the room once againbut the hand continued
Stellelaunched towards Lynanscreaming while Lievjumped forward to intercept her.Amyyelled hysterically in the corner through her tears, demanding answers and Taylorhad actually started to laugh.What concerned Yaelthe most however was Lynan’s lack of response.The young man just stood there, barely standing straight and looking around the room in confusion. It seemed like he couldn’t see what was going on.Lievsuccessfully intercepted the yelling young woman and Yaelstrode forward to take Lynan’s face in his hands.Lynan’s clothes reeked of alcohol but his breath didn’t which was odd and even more alarming was that his pupils were different sizes.Large hazel brown eyes blinked owlishly at him but there was no recognition in them, it was like he had trouble focusing on anything at all.Yaelpulled hisownphone out from his pock
