In Every Lifetime

Chapter Thirteen

"Agh.." Arthit groaned as he stepped off the van. The smell of salt water came lightly with the sea breeze that was hitting their face. Kongpob lovingly massaged his lower back as he came up behind him. The bumpy road to the seaside villa had been unforgiving and even with the extra cushion Kongpob had discreetly prepared for his fiance, it still left Arthit wincing every now and then in pain.

Not that Arthit was regretting anything, he most certainly had enjoyed himself last night - but he really had not thought the timing through. Kongpob had been more than enthusiastic himself, which resulted in a few more rounds that were out of his calculations. As a kiss landed on his temple, he sighed and relaxed his body into the arms that had snaked around his waist from behind. This position had already become both their favourite form of embrace.

"Are you okay Oon?" Kongpob asked, playing with Arthit's fingers as he stared out at the rest of the gang who had sped off into the villa to claim the rooms they wanted.

"Aren't we supposed to run after them? What if we're left with the worst room?" Arthit asked, taking in the view of the magnificent house in front of them, the Sutthiluck family vacation home.

The Sutthiluck wealth was indeed great as Arthit was once again reminded of their status difference. He quickly put his dark thoughts out of his mind as he mentally chanted to himself that the only thing that mattered was that Kongpob wanted him. The younger had done nothing but constantly assured him that their status was never going to be a problem. The rest of the Sutthiluck family too had always shown their constant support towards their relationship.

"They won't be able to get into our room." Kongpob chirped confidently as he dangled a key in front of Arthit. "It's been reserved solely for us."

Arthit giggled as he shook his head. Trust the boy to have already known what stunts his friends would try to pull.

"It's P'Bright and P'Tootah we're talking about. I had to be prepared." Kongpob shrugged as he took Arthit by the hand and happily guided them into the villa. "We're on the bottom floor with the biggest room," he added impishly. "And the small private pool."

"Kongpob! Why can't we open this door!" Bright yelled from the far corner of the villa whilst Prem and Knot had seemingly found the room they wanted and were trooping upstairs with their bags.

"That's not your room P'Bright!" Kongpob hollered back. "You'd better go upstairs before all the good rooms are gone!" He threw a wink back towards Arthit who chuckled quietly and continued following behind him.

"Kongpob, that's not fair!" Bright whined coming out to the main hall.

"Bright get your ass up here! I got us a good room! We can see Arthit and Kongpob getting it on in the pool from here!" Tootah screeched from the second floor.

Arthit's face turned pale as Bright's lit up with glee, scrambling up the stairs to get to the room.

"Kongpob!" Arthit hissed, bringing them to a halt with a jerk on the younger's arm. "Can they really see the pool from up there?"

"Not if you know where the blind spots are." Kongpob coaxed, squeezing Arthit's hand tightly as he softly pulled on his hand, urging him along. "Unless you want to put on a show for them, I know exactly where to stand where they'd never be able to see us."

Unlocking the door with the key he held in his other hand, Kongpob tugged Arthit right into his arms once they had stepped into the room. He casually slid the backpack on his shoulder off and tightened his grip upon the other's slender waist. This caused the elder to drop the bags in his hands as he yelped in surprise.

"I don't mind giving P'Bright and P'Tootah a show though." Kongpob whispered, nibbling on Arthit's plump lips. He kissed the elder deeply and walked their bodies backwards towards the balcony that led to the small pool.
