"Don't get involved with Kai, Cau. Especially in that kind of aspect. I'm an asshole, but he's a bigger asshole than me when it comes to sex."

Macau wonders if it's already too late to tell his brother that he was already involved in that kind of aspect with Kai.

"Only sex?" Pete asks, curiosity getting the better of him.

"Kai doesn't do the relationship. Never. I have known him since elementary school. In 20 years I know that guy, he has never been in any kind of a serious romantic type of thing."

"No lover ever?" Seems hard to believe that a handsome guy like him never has someone.

"Well, you know, we live in a world full of bullshit and pretense. He hired people to be in a relationship with him now and then, but never get romantically attached to another human."

Pete gives his man a raised brow and then turns to Macau. "Listen to your brother on this one."

Macau is annoyed. "I know."

"Unless ... You're already in love," Pete pushes.

Macau chuckles. "Phi, I don't even know that guy!"

"Well, love at first sight can happen, you know." Macau gives a 'wants to vomit' face, and Pete laughs. "Just give me a head up when you do fall in love. So I know how and when to clean up your mess."

"How do you know I'm going to make a mess."

"Baby, you're a Theerapanyakuls. You all make a mess when it comes to love."

Vegas rolls his eyes but doesn't comment. He has to admit it. All the people in his family have a messed up love story.

Macau spends some time talking with Porchay. But his eyes keep being drawn to a certain someone who is openly looking at him from a strategic table in the middle of the ballroom.

Macau is checking out the guys on the table. One chair is unoccupied, it belongs to his brother who is now too busy with his lover and can't seem to keep his hands and mouth to himself.

There's Phi Ash, the governor's son. Dom is a successful entrepreneur in the energy sector, his family owns a huge farm. Klahan's family is in mining and he is a car racer. The last is Arthit, he's a very popular actor, model, and singer. He comes from money also. Macau knows Art's family deals in pharmaceuticals.

They are all big dogs in their world of rich and famous. All in all, the most eligible bachelor's in Thailand.

His brother is right. Mac can't play in that field just yet or he will get chewed on. His family's name might be powerful, but he is not. Kai is not someone in his league as the guy already has a name of his own.

Kai gives him a smile when he knows Macau is checking him out. Macau has to abruptly look away. But it's hard to dodge when you keep being drawn in. Again and again and again, their eyes meet.

One is more intense than the other. The last one is the guy gives him that look, with a suggestive smile on his lips.

Macau can't help but think that look is hot on him. When he realizes what thought he is having, Macau can feel redness climb from his neck to his face.

He sighs. This won't do. Why does it feel like some kind of magnet between them, pulling them close to one another in some ways?

Fuck, he needs to get out.
