Cove was just trying to do his job.
Nineteen years old. Two weeks into his first real job at The Asteria—the fanciest hotel in the city.
He just wanted to clean rooms and go home.
Room 1207 was last on his list. The manager said it was a VIP suite.
Manager
Owner's personal room. He checks in sometimes.
Manager
Just change the sheets and leave.
He swiped the key. Pushed the door open.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
(So dark😿)
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Housekeeping? *called softly*
He left the door cracked behind him‚ rule number one‚ and pushed his cart inside.
The bedroom was at the end of the hall.
Cove took three steps inside. A hand clamped over his mouth.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Hmmpp!! *eyes went wide*
A body pressed against his back. Huge‚ burning up.
？？？
*slammed the door shut*
？？？
Shh *growled near his ear* Don't scream. Please don't scream. I've been holding on for hours.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*trembled* L-let go😨
？？？
Can't *turned him around*
He was the most terrifyingly beautiful thing Cove had ever seen.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Please... I’m j-just here to clean😰
？？？
Three days. I've been alone for three days. And then you walked in *inhaled Cove's neck*
？？？
You smell like…f*ck. Like heaven
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*didn't understand* Rut? W-what's rut?
The man stared at him‚ then laughed.
？？？
Baby‚ you have no idea what you walked into, do you?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
N-no😿 I just want to finish my shift.
？？？
(F*ck‚ I can’t wait anymore)
Cove froze. His lips were soft and clumsy‚ he'd never been kissed before.
？？？
*pulled back just enough to look at him*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*nodded, face burning*
？？？
F*ck *eye's darkened* That's so hot😏
？？？
Because I get to ruin you.
He lifted Cove like he weighed nothing. Threw him on the king-sized bed.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*tried to crawl backwards*
？？？
*grabbed his ankle‚ pulled him close*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I'm Kai *unbuttoning Cove's uniform shirt* What's your name, pretty thing?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Cove *smiled darkly* That's a beautiful name‚ for a beautiful boy
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I need to go–
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You need to stay *pushed Cove's shirt open*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
F*ck‚ you’re perfect.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*covered his face with his hands* This is weird😖
Kai pulled Cove's pants down. His underwear too. Cove squeaked. Tried to close his legs. Kai pushed them open.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Let me see all of you.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen.
Cove whimpered. His body was shaking. But something else was happening too‚ a warmth spreading low in his belly. A slick wetness between his legs he didn't understand.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
K-Kai... I feel weird😥
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Weird how?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Hot and w-wet😥
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*eyes went wide* You're going into heat.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
What's heat?
Kai laughed‚ a dark, hungry sound.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It means your body wants me as much as I want you.
He pushed two fingers inside Cove without warning.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Ahhnn–!! *back arched*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Wh-what is that😭
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Fingers, baby *pushed deeper* Gotta open you up😏
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Hnng~ ngh~ Kai~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
That's it. Say my name😏 *added a third finger*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
F*ck, listen to you‚ those little sounds. You're gonna kill me
Cove Vale(MC)DO
It h-hurts😭
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I know‚ baby *moved faster. scissoring him*
Cove's slick made it easier. Wet sounds filled the quiet room.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
But you're taking it so good. Such a good boy😏
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Ngh~ ahn~ Kai, something's happening😖
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're getting wet for me *pulled fingers out*
Cove whimpered at the loss.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Your body knows what it wants even if your head doesn't.
Kai positioned himself between Cove's legs. Cove looked down. His eyes went huge.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
That's not g-gonna fit😟😟
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*chuckled* It's gonna fit
Kai lined up. The head pressed against Cove's entrance.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*groan* Relax for me, pretty thing.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
N-no, wait–
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*pushed all in*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
AHHHHNGG!!
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*tears spilled down his cheeks* S-stop! too big😭
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Fck, you're tight. You're so tight‚ Cove
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Ngh~ nn~ hurts😭
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I know. I know, baby *kissed his tears* Breathe‚ just breathe.
Cove panted. Clawed at Kai's shoulders. His insides burned. But the slick helped. Little by little, the pain started to fade.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
M-move..hic..
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*Thrûstîng slowly*
Slow at first. Deep. Cove felt every inch. His mouth fell open in a silent scream. Then Kai picked up speed.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Ah! ahn~ nghh~ K-Kai~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*Thrûstîng fast* That's it. Sing for me, pretty boy😏
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Nghh~ t-too ahh~ d-deep
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Ahh~ not deep enough
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*póundèd into him* Feel that? Feel how deep I am?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Y-yes~ ahn~ hnng!
Cove's body started moving on its own. Hips lifting. Legs wrapping around Kai's waist. His heat hit him like a wave‚ sudden and overwhelming. His skin flushed. His mind went fuzzy.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*eyes glazing over* Kai~ ahngg~ s-something nghhh~ is w-wrong
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Nothing's wrong *kissed his neck* That's your heat, baby. Finally hit you.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I can’t think–
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Don't think *thrûst harder* Just feel every inch of my cöçk
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Feels..ahngh~ feels good~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Yeah? *smirked* You like that? You like my c*ck inside you?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Y-yes~ yes ahhhgg~ Kai~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*Thrûstîng fast* Say it again.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I like it ngh~ I like it, Kai!
Kai growled. Flipped Cove onto his stomach. Pulled his hips up. Pushed back inside.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Right there! ahn~ right there!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Here? *hit the same spot again*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
YES! NGH~ AHN~ KAI!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Haa~ F*ck, you're soaking
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Listen to that.
Wet, obscene sounds every time Kai thrust. Cove's slick dripped down his thighs.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Ha~ You're making a mess, pretty boy.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
C-can't help ngh~ ahn~!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*Thrûstîng* You're gonna make me knot you
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*Thrûstîng* You want that? You want my knot?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I don't hnng~ know what that AHNHG~!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It swells inside you. Locks us together *but Cove’s shoulder*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're not going anywhere😏
Cove Vale(MC)DO
P-please...
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Please what‚ baby?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Please knot me ngh~ Kai‚ please~
Kai groaned. Pushed deeper than before. Cove felt something growing at the base‚ stretching him wider. Filling him completely.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
AHHHN! KAI!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*groaned* Take it! Take all of it, baby‚ f*ck‚ I'm coming
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Inside ahn~ you're coming inside~
Kai buried himself to the hilt.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Gonna fill you up, pretty thing. Every last drop
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*c*mmed inside*
Kai collapsed on top of him. The knot locked them together.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Can't move *panting*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I can't either😣
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Good. Stay with me here.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I have other rooms—
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*laughed against his skin* You're not going anywhere.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
W-wait‚ w-why is it growing big inside😰
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*kissed his ear* I'm gonna go again
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I-I can’t–
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You can *started moving*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're gonna take everything I give you.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Ahn~ ngh~ Kai~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Moan for me. Louder *Thrûstîng deeper*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
AHMGHHH~! KAI!
They went until they couldn't.
Round after round. Cove lost count. Lost track of time. Lost his mind. His heat made him desperate‚ clawing, begging, crying Kai's name until his throat gave out.
Kai was worse. The rut made him feral. He bit. He marked. He whispered filthy things in Cove's ear and groaned every time Cove's body clenched around him.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're mine now😏
Kai said at some point. Maybe hour three. Maybe hour five.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You understand? Mine.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Y-yours *sobbed*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Say it again *Thrûstîng*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Yours ahghhh~ yours, Kai~
The last time, Cove came so hard he saw white. His body spasmed. His vision blurred. Then everything went dark.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*passed out*
Kai followed a second later. Still inside him. Still locked together.

To be continued.
WORK
Cove woke up to sunlight.
His body ached everywhere. Between his legs was sore and wet. Someone's arm was wrapped around his waist.
Cove tried to move. Pain shot up his spine.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*whimpered* Ouchh😣
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*waking up*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*saw Cove* Morning, pretty boy😊
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I’m sore(•́ ᴖ •̀)
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I know *kissed his forehead* You did so good.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Where am I?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*laughed* My suite.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I have to go to work—
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You are at work.
Kai stretched. The sheets fell. Cove looked away, blushing.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
This is my hotel.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*grinned* The Asteria. I own it.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You've been cleaning my rooms for two weeks, Cove. And I didn't even know you existed.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Until I walked in?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Until you walked in.
Kai traced a finger down Cove's chest.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Best accident I ever had.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*stared at the ceiling* My manager is gonna fire me.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
No, he's not.
Kai pulled out his phone. Typed one-handed.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Because I just promoted you.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*confused* To what?😕
Kai looked at him. That slow, dangerous smile again.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
To mine.
Kai tossed his phone aside. Rolled on top of Cove again.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I said what I said *nuzzled into Cove's neck*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're mine now. That means you don't clean other people's rooms anymore.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
But I need this job—
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You have a job *kissed his collarbone* Me
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*pout* That's not a real job
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It's a real job *hand slid down Cove's stomach* Very demanding. And the boss is a pervert.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I noticed....
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*grinned* You're funny when you're sore😄
He sat up. Cove watched him—all broad shoulders and messy hair and bite marks on his chest. Some of those were from Cove. The thought made his face burn.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Get up.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I can't walk😥
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Yes, you can *pulled him upright*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*wobbled* I-I can’t!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Okay, maybe not yet. But you will
Kai scooped him up like a bride. Cove yelped and grabbed his neck.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
W-where are we going?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Bathroom. You're a mess.
Kai carried him through the suite. It was huge. Cove had never seen the owner's suite‚ it had its own kitchen. A living room. A bathroom bigger than Cove's apartment.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Then breakfast. Then I'm working on you.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*tilted his head* Working on me how?
Kai set him down on the marble counter. Turned on the shower. Steam filled the room.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Working on you means taking care of you. F*cking you. Feeding you. F*cking you again.
He stepped into the shower and pulled Cove in with him
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're gonna stay in this room for the next few days. Until my rut ends and your heat calms down.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*eyes went wide* I can't stay here. I have bills!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I'll pay your bills.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I'll buy your cat a house.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I don’t–what????
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*laughed*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*pushed Cove against the wet tiles*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Here's the deal, pretty boy.
Kai lathered soap in his hands. Started washing Cove's body.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*shivered*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You work for me now. Not housekeeping. Something else.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
W-what something else?
Kai's hands paused on Cove's hips. He looked down at him. That dark smile again.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
My maid.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Your… maid?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Yeah *washed Cove’s chest*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You clean my suite. You bring me food. You wear whatever I tell you to wear.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
And at night *murmured against his ear* you get on your knees. Or on your back. Or face down on my desk. However I want you.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*face was crimson* That's not maid work.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It's maid work at my hotel *kissed him* I own the place. I make the rules.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
That's illegal😕
Kai turned him around. Pressed him against the tile.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Say yes
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Say yes, Cove *hands gripped his hips* Or I'll keep asking until you do.
Cove's breath came in little gasps. His heat was still simmering under his skin. And Kai's hands were big and warm and everywhere.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Yes what?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Yes, I'll be your maid
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*pushed inside him without warning*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
That's my good boy *thrûstîng slowly*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*clawed at the wet tile* Anhhh!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
My pretty little maid.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Ngh~ Kai ahn~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're gonna wear a little uniform. Short skirt *rough*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
No underwear. Every time you bend over to clean, I'm gonna see everything.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Th-that's ngh~ embarrassing😣
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
That's the point *grabbed Cove's hair*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I want everyone to know you're mine. Even if they don't know why you walk funny *Thrûstîng hard*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
K-kai! nghhh~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
What? You think I'm joking? *Thrûstîng faster*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I've been looking at you for two weeks, Cove. Watching you push that cart down the hall. Bending over to pick up towels. Smiling at guests with that innocent little face.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
You ahn~ you knew about me?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I knew about you the second you got hired *bit his shoulder*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
HR showed me your application photo. I almost fired them for hiring someone so distracting.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Then why ngh~ didn't you anhhh~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Say something? *lifted Cove*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*wrapped his legs around Kai’s waist* AHHHGGHH! t-too deep
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Because I wanted you to walk in here. On your own. Like you did.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
You’re crazy aghh~
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I know‚ baby *smirked*
They stayed in the shower until the water ran cold. Kai took him twice more. Once against the sink. Once bent over the bathroom counter.
Cove couldn't feel his legs.
Kai carried him to bed. Wrapped him in a robe. The hotel robe. It smelled like expensive laundry detergent.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Stay here.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
You keep saying that😕
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Because you keep trying to leave
Kai picked up the room phone.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Yeah, send up breakfast. Everything. And a uniform📱
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*sat up* Uniform??
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*hang up*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*grinned* Maid uniform. I had it made two weeks ago.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*blushed* You’re insane!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're hard down there.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*Covered himself with a pillow*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
See? Your body agrees with me.
A knock on the door. Room service. Cove tried to hide under the blanket. Kai just laughed.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Don't be shy, pretty boy. They can't see you from there.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*peeked out*
A cart rolled in. Covered plates. A pot of coffee. And a small box.
Kai took the box. Opened it.
Inside was the tiniest dress Cove had ever seen. Black. Lace. It would barely cover his thighs.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Put it on.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
A-after breakfast
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Before breakfast.
Cove grabbed a croissant and ran to the bathroom.
Kai's laugh followed him.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*stood in front of the mirror*
The dress was… a lot. It showed everything. His collarbones. His shoulders. The marks Kai left on his neck. The hem ended mid-thigh. If he bent over even a little—
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Come out, Cove.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
This is embarrassing😣
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*opened the door*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*went very still*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
F*ck! F*ck Cove!
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Is it bad?😣
Kai set down his coffee. Walked over. Cove felt small. Kai put a finger under his chin. Lifted his face.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
And I'm never letting you leave this room.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I have to go home eventually—
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I said I'd buy your cat a house.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
You're not gonna fire me from my old job?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You don't have an old job *kissed his forehead* You have a new one. Maid. Remember?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
What do I call you?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*smirked* Master
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*shy* M-master?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Good boy *walked back to the bed*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*pat on his lap* Now come here. Breakfast is getting cold. And after that…
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*smirked* I'm gonna work on you some more.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*walked over*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*sat on Kai's lap*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
This is gonna be a long week
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*smiled* Good...
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*eyes went dark* Oh, pretty boy, you have no idea what you just started.

HOME
Cove fell asleep on the hotel bed.
The maid dress was still on. Bunched up around his thighs. His cheek pressed against Kai's chest. He looked like a doll. A sleepy, f*cked-out, impossibly pretty doll.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're gonna be the death of me
Kai pulled out his phone and texted his driver.
Then he wrapped Cove in a blanket. Lifted him easy‚ Cove weighed nothing. Curled against Kai's chest like he belonged there.
The elevator was empty. The back hallway was empty. The black SUV was waiting.
Kai slid into the back seat. Cove mumbled something in his sleep.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
The Mansion.
Cove woke up on silk sheets.
This was not the hotel. This was not his apartment. This was not anywhere Cove recognized.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Kai? *confused*
Cove looked down. The maid dress was gone. Someone had put him in a big white t-shirt. It fell to his knees. The shirt smelled like Kai.
Kai appeared at the end of the hall.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*smiled* Morning, pretty boy.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Where are we?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
My house😊
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Your… house?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Mansion, technically
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*walked toward him*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*stepped back. hit the door frame*
Kai put a hand on either side of him. Trapped him.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Welcome home
Cove Vale(MC)DO
But I fell asleep at the hotel😕
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You did *kissed his forehead* and I carried you out.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
You carried me?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You were sleeping. You looked cute‚ so I stole you
Cove Vale(MC)DO
You can't just steal a person😾
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I can. I did. You're here.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Breakfast is downstairs. Come on.
He turned and walked away. Like it was normal. Like kidnapping someone was just part of his morning routine.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*ran after Kai*
The kitchen was bigger than Cove's entire apartment.
Kai was already sitting at a long wooden table.
Cove sat. Across from him.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*looked around* This is your house?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Mansion. But yes.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*stared at him* You live here alone?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*pushed a plate toward him* Mostly. Eat.
Cove looked at the food. Then at Kai. Then at the food again.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Did you really carry me out of the hotel?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
In front of people?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It was 3 AM. No one was there.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
But what if someone saw?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*laughed* Cove‚ I own the hotel. If someone saw, they'd pretend they didn't.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Yeah. Oh *pointed at the plate* Eat. You need energy.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
For what?😕
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*smirked* For later.
Kai watched him the whole time. Like Cove was entertainment.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*chuckled*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Nothing. You're just… really innocent.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Is that bad?😕
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
No *reached across the table. wiped a crumb off Cove's lip* It's cute. Makes me want to ruin you more.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*chewed faster*
After breakfast, Kai gave him a tour.
The mansion had seven bedrooms. Cove counted. Seven. Kai laughed at him for counting.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Why do you need seven bedrooms?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I don’t
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Then why do you have them?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Because I can.
They walked past a library. A movie theater room. An indoor pool.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*stopped at the pool*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
You have a pool inside your mansion?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Yes, Cove. I have an indoor pool.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You wanna swim later?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I don't have a swimsuit☹️
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*grinned* You don't need one.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*eyes went wide* Kai!
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
What? The pool is private.
Kai pushed off the wall. Walked toward him. Cove backed up until his back hit the wall.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
No one here but us, pretty boy
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I'm not swimming naked😣
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Not yet *kissed his cheek* But you will.
He walked away. Cove stood there. Face burning. Heart pounding.
Kai's laugh echoed down the hall.
Later, Cove was looking at a painting.
Cove was studying it very seriously.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
What are you doing?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Looking at this painting.
Kai walked over. Stood behind him. Looked at the painting. It was just fruit. Boring fruit.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Cove‚ have you ever been in a mansion before?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Have you ever been in a house with more than two bedrooms?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*shook his head*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
How old are you?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Nineteen...
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*chuckled*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Why is that funny?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It's not funny.
Kai wrapped his arms around Cove's waist. Pulled him back against his chest.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It's adorable. You're adorable.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I'm not adorable. I'm a grown man.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're a grown man who just spent five minutes looking at a painting of grapes.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*buried his face in Cove's neck*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're gonna give me a heart attack
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Because you're too innocent to exist *squeezed him tighter* Who hurt you? Or wait—no one hurt you. That's the problem. No one touched you at all until me.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Is that bad?
Kai turned him around. Held his face in both hands. Looked at him.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
It's the best thing that ever happened to me.
Cove didn't know what to say. So he just stood there. Let Kai hold him.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Do you know what a condom is now?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*nodded* Y-you explained it.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Do you know what a knot is?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*nodded again*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Do you know what 'cream pie' means?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*shook his head*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
F*ck. I'm gonna teach you so many things.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
Is that bad?😕
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*kissed him*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
No, pretty boy *whispered against his lips* That's very, very good.
That night, Cove stood in front of a window.
The mansion had a view of the city. Lights everywhere. Cove had never seen anything like it.
Kai came up behind him. Wrapped his arms around his waist.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Like the view?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
It’s pretty☺
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You're prettier.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*leaned back against him* Kai?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
A-are you gonna keep me here forever?
Kai was quiet for a moment. Then he turned Cove around
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*lifted his chin* Do you want me to?
Cove thought about it. His tiny apartment. His cat. His old job pushing a cart down hotel hallways.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
No one's ever wanted me before....not like this.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*expression softened* Well, I do.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Because you walked into my room *kissed his forehead*
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*blushed* You're weird
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I'm a pervert *kissed his nose* There's a difference."
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*laughed* Is there?
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Not really *picked him up*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
Now come on, it’s bedtime now
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*wrapped his legs around Kai's waist* I'm not tired😗
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
You will be.
Kai carried him down the hall.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
I'm gonna work on you until you pass out again.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
That's not bedtime. That's just more s*x(•ˋ _ ˊ•)
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*grinned* Exactly.
Cove Vale(MC)DO
*buried his face in Kai's neck. mumbled something*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
What was that?
Cove Vale(MC)DO
I said… *voice was tiny* I'm glad I walked into your room.
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*stopped walking*
Kaizer Asteria(ML)E
*smiled* Me too, pretty boy. Me too.
