Chapter 65: For Now You Are MineKit:P’Kim dragged Kit into the car without another word, his fingers tight around Kit’s wrist. His jaw was set, and he would not look at the other man as he opened the passenger seat and gestured for him to get in.Kit was nervous at this ruggedness but followed his silent command nonetheless, taking the passenger seat with tense hands. The door slammed shut on his face and he quickly fastened his seatbelt, just as P’Kim opened the driver’s side door and slammed it shut once again, making Kit flinch back.They still didn’t speak as P’Kim turned on the engine and with one heavy foot on the gas pedal, zoomed out of the driveway in the blink of an eye, his gaze fixated on the road ahead.Kit fiddled with his fingers, looking out the window. The world outside passed by in a blur, so fast that Kit felt a bit dizzy; Kim was driving like a maniac! Terrified, Kit glanced at the dashboard, and the speedometer said 140.Shit. P’Kim looks seriously pissed off, K
Chapter 66:Good BoyKit:Kit may have kissed P’Kim over a hundred times by now, and yet, each time felt like the first.P’Kim was by no means gentle tonight; he moved his mouth against Kit’s in a nearly obsessive manner, rough and greedy. “You owe me a lot tonight,” P’Kim breathed out when he broke off the kiss. “I almost died from worry.”“Let me make it up to you, then.” Kit whispered seductively as he slowly took off his shirt, and P’Kim’s hands immediately went to pinch his tiny nipple, sending a jolt of pleasure up his spine.And then his lips were back on P’Kim’s awaiting lips, his hands on his nape, tangling in the hair at the back of his head.With P’Kim’s tongue inside his mouth, he grinded his hips against the older man’s groin. The fact that he was on P’Kim’s lap turned him on even more, and his cock grew uncomfortably hard in his pants, begging to be let out. Being on top of P’Kim in this manner gave him a certain sense of control, even though he knew that inevitable, P’Ki
Chapter 67: The Irresistible BaitKim:When afternoon came the next day, Kim drove them to the hospital where Ben was admitted. P’First was already waiting for them at the lobby, and he led them up to the VIP room where he had Ben stay in to recover.“Ben!” Kit ran to the side of his bed, holding his friend’s hand. “How are you? Does it still hurt? What did the doctors say?”Ben chuckled, slowly sitting upright. He suppressed a groan so he wouldn’t worry Kit when pain flared up his side. He looked all banged up, but it didn’t seem like anything that wouldn’t heal with time. Apart from wounds he sustained from the glass shards, he only had a couple of scratches and bruises. He was lucky that the bullet didn’t hit him, or it would’ve been a lot worse.“I’m glad to see that you’re doing just fine, Kit,” Ben said, still smiling. His voice didn’t sound weak, only a bit hoarse, like he hadn’t spoken much in the last couple hours, which was a good thing. It meant that he wasn’t hurt as badly
Chapter 68: Dealing with His InsecuritiesKit:Soon, Kit was back in the passenger seat with Kim behind the wheels, heading back to the Ayutthaya mansion. He drove at a calmer pace this time, even though Kit could tell he was anything but calm on the inside.“P’Kim,” Kit called, head leaning against the window.Kim drummed his fingers on the steering wheel as they waited for the traffic lights to turn green. “Yes? What is it?”“Do you think this is a good idea?” he asked. “We will be putting my friends in danger just to catch one person. I don't think… well, this might just be a small issue, but I don’t think it’s fair to my friends to head into this without any clue as to what they are getting into.”Kim nodded. “I get where you’re coming from,” he said. “But that shooter is getting bolder and stronger as the days go by anyway. The more confident they get, the more dangerous they will become. But letting your friends in on the plan can create panic and lead them to cancel the plan al
Chapter 69: Cleared OutKim:As soon as the office door was closed shut, the first thing P’Kla did was…surprisingly, apologize to Kim.“Kimhan, Hia... karthot na (I am sorry),” he sighed, leaning against the door. “I hurt you, and it was uncalled for. I let my emotions get the best of me and let it out on you, which was something I never should have done as your Hia. I should’ve known better.”Needless to say, Kim hadn’t expected that; it had been a long time since Hia Kla directly referred to himself as his older brother. Kim didn’t show it, but it was a welcomed surprise.“And… as your constituent, I overstepped my boundaries—which is a mistake I will never make again,” P’Kla added.Oh. It seemed that he had taken Kim’s threat too seriously. Well, it wasn’t like his defiance of Kim’s authority hadn’t warranted such a response from the mafia don, but still… perhaps Kim had been too harsh on someone who was his family by blood.Besides, he could sense that P’Kla’s apology now was genu
Chapter 70: Their Own Little UniverseKit:Later in the afternoon, they all gathered around the table for a late lunch, finally having the feast they couldn’t enjoy previously. They joked around and chatted for a bit over the meal, reveling in each other’s company.Kit was grateful for the warm atmosphere. After the entire ordeal last night, he needed something to ease his nerves, and this quality time with the people he considered family was definitely doing the trick.When the table was cleared and their plates were vacant of food, they all went their separate ways, Kit especially deciding to have some time alone to recharge. He went up to his room, appreciating the comfort of silence as he curled up by the window with a book in hand.He was about a hundred pages in when his phone suddenly rang. A bit hesitantly, he picked it up to notice that it was none other than Earth. He carefully set the book face-down to mark the page he was in, before picking up his phone and laying on the b
Chapter 71: Unbidden DesireKim:“What’s this for?” Kit asked, looking around the gazebo, a wide smile plastered on his gorgeous face. “I mean, not that I’m complaining. But what’s the occasion?”“Nothing,” Kim answered as he turned the music on to a sound they could dance to. “Can’t a man show his love for his lover?” He grinned, bending a knee in a curtsy. “Shall we dance?”“You’re so dramatic.” But even as he said that, Kit gladly took Kim’s extended hand.He pulled Kim to the middle of the gazebo, where they swayed slowly to the sound of the piano accompanied by a violin and a saxophone. It was an old melody, one he remembered his mother used to play when he and P’Kla were still little, but he loved the tune, and he loved how Kit’s body felt against his as they swayed together in unison.“Did you prepare all of this?” Kit asked, surveying the whole area with a smile.“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have any help,” Kim admitted. “The candles were P’Aawut’s idea, and Som helped wit
Chapter 72: Extended InvitationKit:Coming Thursday, Kit, Ben and Earth decided to meet up at a fancy café instead of their usual roadside Pa’s restaurant. Not that anything was wrong with the restaurant, but Kit and Ben had discussed that a less crowded place would be a better choice for them at the time. P’David drove Ben and Kit there together, while Earth told them he’d meet with them at the location.They were certain that whoever was spying on them would be there as well, not wanting to pass up the opportunity to observe them “unaware”.P’Kim and P’First had already oriented them on what to do, with P’Kim fretting more than the latter. “Do not engage,” he had said. “Again, you are simply there to observe and take note of anyone who could possibly be spying on you. If anything happens, P’David will be on standby, so just run. Got it?”“Yes, P’Kim, you said that more than five times already,” Kit had said, his patience wearing thin. He knew P’Kim just wanted to ensure their safet
