All Chapters of CHASING TIDE. (MxM): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter: 20.*********The longer he stared at him, the more It feels like he was losing it.Just the thought of him so close makes it hard to regain his composure. This strange man, who is married to his ex-wife, affects him in more ways than he would like to admit."Is it because it's a business owned by your ex-wife's husband?" Again he didn't reply. What's there for him to say, it's quite obvious why he left. "The job is still open if you're still interested.""I'm not." He snarled."Then I will find you another, one that isn't owned by your ex-wife's husband." He offered."It's weird when you say that.""How so?" "Is it not your business?" "Well, I suppose so." "I don't want anything to do with you, stay away from me." He shoved at the man and stumbled down the beach."You know, you're not money-oriented" That paused his footsteps and he turned to stare daggers at the other man.God, he is so handsome, it's hard to keep his gaze lingering on that face."Maria has moved on pret

Chapter: 22.*******"Tide?" He spun around at the sound of his name."Yes?" He replied to the gatekeeper at the door."The king is ready to speak with you now." He announced and went before him.Tide moved cautiously behind the gatekeeper and when they got to the entrance of the throne room, the gatekeeper paused and ushered him in. Tide hasn't visited the king in weeks and considering his mission, he couldn't help his heart from beating any faster and tail from getting heavy. "The Tideian has arrived!" Announced two warrior mermen by the entrance door and Tide jolted a bit when the huge double doors pulled open inviting him in. He stood for a while, watching the throne room laced with all the beauties of the seven seas. This wasn't the time for admiration but he would rather pretend to be intrigued by the crystal tree leading all the wall to the throne than acknowledge the king who sat upon his throne. "Tide!" His voice roared and the merman jumped back a little. "Come!" He beckon

Chapter: 24.********"Tell me, how is my stepdaughter?" The second asked and the first smiled. "Is she not my stepdaughter?" He returned bemused. "I'm the one who is married to her mother.""Not after I'm married to her father she won't be anymore." "How cruel." The other accused and they both laughed."That was the plan and why neither mother nor daughter knew about you and me, not now but surely." They both smiled."Well, not many people knew the famous D'aureville had two sons." The first added with a tint of sadness in his tone. He was stripped of everything. A disgraceful son no parents want to talk about.Sensing the change in his brother's mood, he directed the conversation towards a little memory. "You know back in the days Alexander was the brightest pupil in school, studying Mechanical Engineering and was excelling so brilliantly, it's surprising how his life took this strange turn and even more surprising how he never recognized me even until now but then again, it would

Chapter: 26.*********"Are you ready?" Easton asked, peeking into the room to find Alexander pushing his left foot into his shoe."So?" He asked, standing while adjusting his belt. "Do I look presentable?" He inquired."Wow, don't think I have seen you in corporate wear before," Easton replied, it was clear he liked what he was seeing. "You look more than presentable." Alexander smiled, brushing his hands on his shirt. "Thanks, man."Looking around as if he was searching for something, Easton moved closer until he was standing face to face with the other. He stood in front of him and just admired him for a while then gently raised both hands to Alexander's tie and began strengthening it. "You still didn't learn how to knot a tie, did you?" He was amused."The last time I was in a tie was on my wedding day-""Shhh!" Easton whispered, one finger pressed into Alexander's lips cutting his words off. "No bad memories today, big boy, it will jinx the day." He reprimanded and Alexander jus

Chapter: 28********Michael or was it Matthew pulled away and stared deeply into his eyes. "Is it possible to be any more smitten with you?" He whispered and Alexander felt his face heating up painfully. "And I do love it when you blush." He looked into his eyes, and Alexander was captivated, they seemed to stare into his soul and see everything laid bare. Alexander licked his lips unconsciously, ever so slightly pursing them creating just a tiny gap. Matthew tilted his head slightly and leaned in, and Alexander melted again.Whatever resistance he might have had to this new sensation melted away instantly, and he was taken by the kiss. It was completely different to Maria's and her lips were all he's ever known, well, until now. There was no softness, no pliability. His lips conveyed strength, power, passion, and security, and they moved with a deliberateness that Alexander had never felt before. Matthew's tongue lightly pressed at the opening to his mouth and he surrendered access
