A man with tanned skin, long black hair and a pair of golden eyes. Mysterious yet gentle, he caressed the flower he personally took care and smelled it. A fresh, fruity scent made the man closed his eyes as he inhaled it.
It blooms beautifully.
Thes smiled proudly, he rubbed the flower and poured water all over it. Water was dripping all over the beautiful golden rose.
"Hm~ Hm~" Elam looked at Thes as he was absorbed in his own world, he chuckled and waited patiently for Thes to notice his presence.
Hm? I felt someone behind me. Are there-
His golden eyes widened up as he saw Thes there, in his garden and he blinked. Was he there all this time? He looked at Elam, unconsciously glance at that hands of his and then, Thes suddenly remember that moment.
How he fell and caught by Elam. The hot air, the fast beating rate of his heart and the hot breaths of theirs. It was still vividly clear. How could not he-
It was embarrassing... I want to bury myself. This is not how a ruler should act.
Thes then lowered his head shyly while watching Elam look at him with great enthusiasm. He then turned around, placed the watering can down and walked towards Elam. Elam, who saw him from afar, smiled happily, waving at Thes and winked at him.
Argh! Why is he winking? This damn heart! Stop it! Hey!
Thes, who was on his way to Elam tried not to react, but his body betrayed him as his heart began to feel what he had felt that time.
Why my heart feel like this again? That one time is bad enough. But twice is definitely not good. Sh*t. Don't do that.
Trying to hide it, he looked away but Elam in front of him chuckled softly at him. Instead of commenting on Thes's behavior, Elam gently stroked his cheek. Softly. Thes smiled gently and Thes, surprised, looked at him immediately unaware that his face had turned red.
A wink, now a smile? Pick one, would you? What are you doing this to me?
"Darling, aren't you cold?" Elam looked at Thes that wore nothing but his bedroom robe, his beautiful plump chest slightly exposed. So sexy... HGH... His morning appearance was very alluring. Elam bit his lip, holding himself back from grabbing him, furrowed his brows as his hands wrapped Thes's robe properly around him.
Thes blinked. "Not really, my Lord." he answered, confused. Thes looked at Elam and he watched as he tied his robe for him.
Is he jealous? This man? No way right, it's just me in a robe?
"Is there something wrong, my Lord?" He could see Elam's eyes tensed up as if he was worried, his question however had Elam pouted and again, he softly patted his head.
Really, this man? A wink, a smile now a pat haha-why're you patting my head again-what am I to you?
"Be more careful, darling. What if someone come in and see you in this state?" Elam's blunt comments struck Thes in his mind. He tilted his head.
Be careful of what? I'm afraid that I should be careful of you instead. You're the main problem here, not me.
Elam furrowed his eyebrows even lower than earlier, he was looking straight to Thes and folded his arms. Gosh. Looking so good so early at that. "My Lord, I do not think so as this is my garden. No one is allowed to enter it without my permission." Thes reassured Elam down though he had a different thought on his own answer.
No one but only you who dared to. Why would you enter in someone else's garden without warning then?
Thes gave an annoyed look at Elam as Elam rubbed his chin and smiled brightly.
That's-right. He-he~ Thes tilted his head and sighed. He then turned around to leave but again, he was caught in Elam's embrace, just this time-
"EEK!" Elam wrapped his hands around him and hugged Thes from behind. The hot breaths to the back of his neck. A warm temperature of Elam's body. The smell of that mint scent.
Those hot breaths again. Haa I can feel it on my neck. The mint scent too. Ha... He smells nic-
Thes jolted as Elam's hand slowly rubbed against his body from his abdomen to his chest, he can feel a hot, tingling sensation from each touch and "Sto-stop it." Thes hurriedly pulled the man's hand off his chest but the man's hand remained unmoved made Thes gritted his teeth.
Hearing Thes's plead, Elam smirked, and gently he left a soft kiss to Thes's cheek and loosened his hands from Thes's body. That was-dangerous. Thes was still twitching and yet Elam suddenly turned Thes to him and hugged him again. "I'm sorry, darling. Was that too much?", he kissed Thes's forehead gently.
Thes blinked. Again. He took a glance at Elam. This man-he looks concerned. "I-I'm fine, my Lord", Thes said in hesitation. Thes gently put a distance from Elam, he looked down to the ground and gulped. After a moment of collecting his mind, he peeked at Elam, what awaited him was a look of pitiful Elam as Elam stroked his face again. Elam rubbed his cheeks and left a sigh of relief.
Why're you giving that look? Was my reaction too much?
Suddenly, those hands again, wrapped themselves around Thes, Thes's eyes shrank as his hands still did not move even in a slightest yet. Elam closed his eyes as he felt a warm body of Thes. Thes set his eyes on Elam's shoulder and blinked twice.
He has been persistent just moments ago. Why act so gentle suddenly? What this sudden of the attitude?
"I'm sorry I won't push you harder next time. Just say so, darling." Elam's embrace then grew tighter as he said those words in a sad tone.
Why's he sound so sad? What you mean next time? Is this going to happen again?
Thes flinched a bit. Just a little. He stared at the man, and it appeared that his flinch just now did not notice by him. Thes actually could not help but wavered at the tone of the man in front him.
Yes, please do then-Don't come and suddenly do as you please. Having intimate moment as if we're married is too embarrassing
"Thes?" Elam asked again, he then pulled a distance between them. Just a few inches. Just enough for him to look at Thes. How Thes wished to spill those thoughts of him, but words could not seem to leave his mouth as if it was being locked down.
Oh damn, I lost in my thoughts again. I should not lose my cool right now. Argh!
"I- will do so, my Lord. Pay no mind to this subject of yours." Thes lowered his gaze as he spoke, his fist clenched, and hence, a touch of a finger suddenly lifted his face up.
What the-this man? Why-?
Elam pushed himself forward, a breeze from the impact brushed to Thes's face, and he instinctively tried to break away. His hands were halfway lifted as Elam slowly had his mouth near Thes's ear.
Oh... I thought-he-ahem. Shush. Shush. Shush.
He brushed those thoughts away. "I hope my darling Thes can be more honest." He chuckled as he pulled himself away to his original spot however he furrowed his eyebrows again, as if he was displeased with something.
"You're not my subject nor are you mine... yet." The words struck Thes like a gust of wind, left him stunned. Then, he could felt his both hands was held by Elam and lifted higher to the level of his chests. Elam looked at him with eyes filled with hope.
"But, listen here, darling." Elam smiled brightly and continue.
"I will make you mine. Just... not like this."
A gentle breeze stirred the air, trousling Thes's long hair as he stood froze, heart pounding so fast like it might stop altogether.
