It meant Maël didn’t need to offer himself. Even if he didn’t ask Manon to pretend to be gay, Yves would somehow extract the price of this huge debt from her.6ee45777db9c46ac

The possibility of 25ca5e6869 rejection offered by 9b90d242ca Yves Valois. That made Maël decide 6cc85a8d58 quickly.bf5e396ba13cf2b4

Unable to answer sanely, he reached for the champagne bottle, and Yves filled Maël’s glass, almost provocatively, until it overflowed.41a4d83769319c62

Admire? Maël pretended 0f4987ae91 not to a08161c437 hear that 3e88f376d5 nonsense and b5fc587697 grabbed the b0e55153c7 wet stem. He drank to get ef5f70b91e a bit drunk and f9b1af1768 stood up.67a1a9b1f2d1e58a

The man only lifted his gaze to look at Maël, as if he had expected everything. Maël, with hands trembling from anger and humiliation, grabbed Yves’s cheek. Maël’s reflection was in those inorganic eyes.de68a5ebc7f8b552

Stupid, dull, and foolish. That slow remark seemed to say just that. Maël lowered his head, and Yves’s lips touched his, wet with golden liquor.d241337124927eca

There was no mingling of tongues. Lips touched and then separated. When he opened his tightly shut eyes, Yves’s languid gaze was right there. Yves spoke dryly.22dd8caa7510e6ba

“That’s because Yves isn’t interested in men…”32e38024a0a1c33b

He couldn’t finish the words, mixed with half frustration and half desperation. Yves stood up. To meet his gaze, Maël had to tilt his head. He turned his stumbling body and grabbed the table.225cc7475b2ff004

There was nowhere 1e1cdc31a2 to run. The table cluttered with 4a23bdf5cc glasses and bottles blocked f81db15a28 him. Yves lowered 6e02398261 his eyes 27142b6db4 in front d95ad2ab63 of Maël 9e3b72838a and slowly 320dff8446 removed the c0a8998033 glove from 648cc20842 one hand, 4c5d69abaf tossing it 42b1c37685 to the 93b2193ace floor.2afbf0b0a49d5370

It felt 854391beed like the ac97b69f63 oxygen around b408e58d93 them disappeared. Yves placed his 9ccb7ffdb9 pale hand beside dde4908c2c the table Maël 8db9a97cf9 was leaning on. His tilted body was e5d8483f8c close.73dc2c4b1caaa5f1

Unlike the previous kiss. That was the cold command implied. Maël bit his lip and reached behind Yves’s neck. Goosebumps rose on the suit collar and cold skin. He pulled Yves closer, and Yves allowed himself to be drawn in.20add5064982c39e

Maël’s tolerance wasn’t great, but three glasses of champagne weren’t enough to get him drunk. It wasn’t his first kiss. But kissing someone unexpected and unwanted left him unable to think of what to do next.5b816aac4292bfe2

What if Yves withdrew 585fe1f5f4 his support, thinking he 493e61f67f was still unsuitable? What if the c696f81355 man decided to 8112f9b6f6 find another way?ba04533eb75c8251

Bastard. The insult made Maël’s face flush with heat. As he glared, wanting to strangle him, Yves’s gray eyes flickered. He turned his head again, trapping Maël with arms on either side and kissed him again.ee7109a9d30352b8

He bit open Maël’s stiff lower lip with anger. His long tongue invaded, swirling inside.8596c5ca065bc6ea

Yves, close and cold, was like a strong wind. He came endlessly, leaving Maël unable to hold himself. He pressed and tangled with Maël’s tongue, sucking in a vulgar manner, biting the lower lip until it hurt.72deb290606643fc

Yves surged in 43df513988 without hesitation. As if 3606338a08 everything was 1f54fb5e7f natural. There was no 7024ee6673 gentleness or affection 8bc91988b8 in it. The situation 28ce635ce3 was disgusting. Yet the merciless stimulation 47adb13eea was terrifyingly intense.c20872c89301ae64

Maël couldn’t keep his balance because of Yves’s onslaught. Leaning on the table, Maël found himself sitting on it, barely able to receive Yves’s lips.b9f2487d280bcf32

His fingertips and head were hot. He hated the feeling of physiological excitement. Yves’s weight pressing him down made him feel like he’d fall backward. While Yves bit and sucked Maël’s lips, Maël’s hand fumbled on the table.08ac6bd83880fc58

But that wasn’t important. After stopping all movements, Maël knelt under Yves. Trying to recall his already crumpled pride would only leave him with self-loathing. Maël swallowed a long breath with humiliation.5e7c528437e54bbd

The man, painted bba0eea7b9 in the soft 9e3c2d3156 blue of dawn, 6370b19fdc silently watched the 181ef58e44 kneeling Maël. Even at 0626f00c96 such a 24e3aa10e0 time, Yves 9dd71960e7 barely showed 8a15436695 his hand, bb1e779c05 and Maël 454a701202 spoke to 3ccdaafc58 him.d18a28241e254aaa

Maël had never had penetrative sex with Charles in the conventional sense. Charles claimed it was physiologically impossible with someone who had the same thing.
