Chapter 22: Intruders
KIAN
I wanted to see Lain’s dick though I figured it would be pretty small regarding Lain’s small build. But I refrained myself from doing so. Lain was already giving me looks and telling me not to look.
No one ever told me that I was a saint. But no one actually ever told me that I was a pervert. And I don’t want Lain to be the first one calling me that. I have already heard worse names coming from him. Though he didn’t spell them out for me, his eyes and face spoke for it and I am not dense to not decipher how Lain envisions me. Not that I care.
"I still don’t understand why we are sneaking in." Lain is annoyed. Yep, once again. It is so easy to annoy him.
"The lord of this house still has enough influence over the military parliament that my father doesn’t want to piss him off and drag out some unnecessary shits," I reply simply, "So my father didn’t give me the permission to carry on the mission and this is the reason we are sneaking in. As the supreme ruler of the Kingdom, I have to be mindful of how my present activities manipulate my future."
Translation: I am risking it for you.
And I don’t even know why.
Lain doesn’t fuss about it any longer as if he understands where I am standing right now. And this is pretty...comforting which is odd because I expect everything from this man but comforting me.
We are climbing up—for the fifth time—the water pipe connected to the concrete building. Lights are filtering out of the countless windows of the house. This house isn’t located in Oblivarae. The house is situated at the outer streaks of the mainlands of the capital of Oblivara. It took eight hours of straight horse riding for us to get here.
The fifth attempt fails again, and Lain drops over me, dragging us down once again. I use my gravity and we land smoothly on the rock ground for the fifth time.
"Give up already," I say, exasperated as Lain attempts to climb up again, "This is futile. You can’t climb up the water pipe with your one hand bound to me. Let me lift us up there." I tell him for the fifth time.
"No. I want to do this on my own." And Lain refuses for the fifth time as he sprints to climb up the pipe anyway.
Why must he have to be so stubborn and difficult?
I blow out an exhausted breath and tug at the handcuff with just enough force to yank him down. Lain lets out a yelp as I catch him in my arms.
"Hello there." I offer him my get-under-your-skin smile. I then lift us off the ground. It takes us a mare moment before my foot touches the tiled floor of the terrace of the house and then I set Lain down. "You just wasted our time because of your stubbornness."
Laim huffs as he takes a step away from me until the handcuff tugs at our wrists. "Can’t you just take this damn thing off us already? This is so fucking annoying."
It certainly is and it is not like I am enjoying it myself too much. I am not enjoying it
too
much. But I am enjoying it
very
much. I once said I won’t let this man piss in peace. I am keeping my word, and it is so fucking fun to see Lain suffer.
I made him take a shower with me—of course, with a blindfold anyway—which infuriated the shit out of him, and you should have seen it because it was the most hilarious thing I have ever seen, and I laughed over it for
hours
.
"I am not risking you running away again," I say simply as I peel a tile away from the roof and dig a hole through the concrete floor beneath with a sharp and hard knife.
Lain kneels beside me as he concentrates on the movement of my knife, the lines of his smooth pale face bulging with annoyance, "And when do you plan to unlock the handcuff?"
Never.
"Some day apparently," I answer nonchalantly as I at last succeed in digging the concrete floor and squint to see through it.
There is a lavish living room in the space beneath, and with no sound spotting, the floor is seemingly empty. Taking the stairs is way too risky with Lain tied to me like this. We won’t manage to hide or handle the guard or maid or the family member or somebody spot us and scream and alert the entire house.
No, thank you.
A vein bulges on Lain’s temple at my words, "What do you mean, ’one day apparently’?" He follows me across the terrace.
"I meant what I meant." I don’t even look up at him as I tie the rope with the railing and then wrap my arms around Lain’s waist. I revel in how easily my one arm can encircle his small waist and he fits in so effortlessly.
I jump off and Lain keeps on blabbering on whatever because I have already turned him off. He is vibrating with anger and hatred.
I have chosen this window to slip through because I saw it was open and so I slide in easily, stepping into the crimson-wrapped luxurious living room. I lower the blabbering Lain to the ground and retrieve the black rope.
"Lain." I look at him at last.
"What?" He deadpans.
"If you don’t shut your mouth, I will kiss you." I look him in the eyes with intensity.
I am making it up of course. I am not into kissing pretty guys.
Lain blinks. But his confusion morphs into tomato-redness soon enough. He flushes almost making me chuckle.
"Oops, did I walk into a two-guy romance hour somehow?" A tall, skinny man stands by the door, eyeing us warily and disgusted. He is on high alert.
My eyes instantly sharpen.
Andreas Norlen.
