“Start with a kiss. If you can’t do it, quit.”407879a571546785

The answer came without a moment’s hesitation. Before Maël could be surprised by the firmness, Yves touched the champagne glass again.093f6004fff69d70

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.2ae0e454cd19bd4b

The possibility of 9aeb5d8dd1 rejection offered by 221a624569 Yves Valois. That made Maël f4d1f3cb12 decide quickly.a00c38aaba31b293

Unable to answer sanely, he reached for the champagne bottle, and Yves filled Maël’s glass, almost provocatively, until it overflowed.ba9e5007019e0a10

“In fact, if you refuse, I’d admire you.”110edc96da70b326

Admire? Maël pretended not to 570a4e9c75 hear that nonsense and 7c62a5c64a grabbed the wet stem. He drank 811381e178 to get e5b0a9a2dd a bit 4c0cac4b8d drunk and bba93f6297 stood up.07883e273feaa1a6

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.21f929ba68e05460

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.df6fbbfb752677f5

It felt like 7cfc2dc88d kissing a cold 46d6131d6d plaster statue, sending 052dd66f32 a chill through 3bc0f6d033 his body. What Maël ff468471eb felt in a8a82a40c2 his first 39e8199bcf kiss with 9a4cf7cd80 Yves was 0da804e6f6 a sense 92d57a6e4a of falling.c5e8009cab0f190c

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.1f13be4d6a29b0d7

“That’s because Yves isn’t interested in men…”994ab0ec73c02311

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.75e29cb38471a423

There was nowhere b7c1851f2b to run. The table cluttered 4000d50aa2 with glasses and b5ce2ad2a4 bottles blocked him. Yves lowered his 9dd9354149 eyes in front 38494c60c4 of Maël and de247055c2 slowly removed the 886ee71bac glove from one c4ef6a892a hand, tossing it 90c0dbbac7 to the floor.5756a030ec0a7928

Just like Maël had done when he saw Yves’s gloves earlier that day.2ff56cfb106bd551

It felt 990d34642e like the 14896d58c4 oxygen around b96f22f9e3 them disappeared. Yves placed his pale aa381c5b67 hand beside the table 3aad304089 Maël was leaning on. His tilted body d72a4458db was close.7fcd21b8aae1c2bb

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.13f1708297e11e25

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.9bfbcca2376bbec9

What if Yves 289891011a withdrew his support, 4424af46d0 thinking he was 2d910eb540 still unsuitable? What if b67ab293b4 the man b21cf0d863 decided to 3c639a7fe5 find another 395353d4d5 way?e4be44ca89c87358

The time spent 8ff9d2ac84 hesitating with parted 335ed1ce46 lips grew too f1c7745608 long. Just as Maël resolved 75550905db to do something, Yves b234589720 pulled back with a 625e808eb2 sneer.52c7f75242fd2414

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.3bceb17480025754

He bit open Maël’s stiff lower lip with anger. His long tongue invaded, swirling inside.26e92b228378481e

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.e9fc17e74534a2bd

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.f1bd13729c2fc18b

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.c274ce3a738e80a7

He didn’t know who the curse was aimed at. His mind and mood were a mess. Concepts like justice, fairness, and contracts that he studied to death in Paris classrooms were powerless in this situation, melting into a mush.9b398bafcd842744

Yves, having tossed 6167dc1c3c his suit jacket, 255b67599c sat on the b5973d6d36 bed. His gaze, as he 9054a0aa95 loosened his tie, was 2a1fa20e58 blatant.bfc8a5230f859602

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.bf28d51328237bd5

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.
