How to Survive Your 19th Life [BL]

Chapter 91: Red's End

Red's End was nostalgic for me, but also a reminder of one of my biggest regrets. I'd let two strangers use me in a bathroom stall only for both to be killed in front of me. The memory of Emiel crying as he beat me to death left a sickening feeling in my stomach. I wanted nothing more than to re-write it all.

This was obviously Emiel's club. The doorman rushed to open the door for Emiel and I like his job was depending on it. Inside was the same, a whirlwind of colored lights and heavy EDM music. It was packed even more than when I went in my seventh life. Men on top of men on top of men. Emiel navigated through the crowd while holding my hand. Hands drifted over to him in reaching caresses along his sharp jawline and full shoulders. He was beautiful, especially under the strobe lights.

We ended up at the bar to start. It was the same bartender, except his beard was covered in tiny little pink bows. It matched his raunchy pink maid outfit. 

"Zircon, where's Rani?" Emiel asked the bartender.

"Zircon?" I blurted. 

The bartender ignored me and answered Emiel, "VIP. Can I get you anything boss?"

Emiel shook his head and pulled me through the club towards the VIP booths in the back. We didn't stop there. Instead, we climbed a set of transparent stairs glowing with LED lights to a loft area with crystals and mirrors lining the walls. It felt like stepping foot in a spaceship. Bottle boys wearing the same uniform of assless chaps and pasties strode from a large white round booth in the corner. There sat Rani, clearly getting his dick stroked under the table by a bottle boy.

He jumped at the sign of Emiel and I, but then sank back in his seat, getting stroked. Emiel led me to the booth as well and I sat on the inside beside the bottle boy. Emiel and Rani were positioned on the outer side. 

"I'm Solomon," I told the bottle boy. He was pretty cute, with blue hair like Henri and large green eyes.

"Juicy," he said back. 

"Your name, I mean."

"Yeah, Juicy," he said, leaning forward to show off his rather... juicy ass. I nodded, understanding. 

"Are you here for business or a good time?" Rani said as his eyes rolled closed. Juicy worked him harder, his arm bumping against the table. "Slow down, baby. I don't want to cum with my cousin sitting here. Kinda incest-y."

"Or you could just stop," Emiel snapped. 

"This is your cousin?" I asked too loudly. If not for the blaring music, the entire city would have heard the bewilderment in my voice.

I brought Emiel with me this time for a reason. Of course he'd only follow me here like a psycho, but I wanted to see Rani's dynamic with him. There was quite a strange relationship between them, and finding out they were family made it even more puzzling. 

"I thought you didn't have any family," I said, leaning closer to Emiel so he could hear me.

Emiel gazed at me for a second, then looked back to Rani like I didn't speak at all.  Juicy slowed down his strokes and licked Rani's cheek.

"I was here for pleasure, but I see that Jim's still manning the door," Emiel told him. "I told you to fire him."

"Guy's got a pregnant wife, Em. He missed one 8-ball of coke four months ago."

"It wasn't one fucking 8-ball, Rani. It was three and the shithead who brought it in overdosed in my club!" Emiel slammed his hand down on the table, making Juicy and I jump. 

Rani got up, cock swinging out of his pants, and zipped his pants up. He waved at Juicy to leave, which he did immediately. "Great, ruined my goddamn hard-on."

"I'll ruin your life if you keep fucking with me." His voice carried so much heaviness, I got goosebumps. Even with the loud music, his low tone reverberated through the room. 

"Well, if you want him gone so bad, go fire him yourself. I'm not a heartless prick like you." Rani sat back in the booth and moved to sit in the middle.

Emiel looked at me and offered an apologetic smile.

Rani leaned forward and said, "And you're his new boy toy?"

"I'm his boyfriend," I corrected immediately. "We're in a relationship." Though Emiel and I hadn't really established that yet in this life, I knew it was what he wanted. Emiel's smile went from apologetic to elated. 

"I'll be back, boyfriend," Emiel said, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving to head downstairs.

It was interesting, seeing Emiel discuss a real business. He was in boss-mode around Rani, but he also trusted Rani around me. It must have made my betrayal in my slutty seventh life all the harder. No wonder he cried. He'd caught his boyfriend fucking his cousin.

Rani scooted over to me after Emiel was out of sight.

"You're pretty cute," Rani told me. "I knew he was seeing someone, but I had no idea you'd look so... innocent." His eyes roamed up and down my body. I felt suddenly very aware of my exposed chest and throat.

"What's the deal between you and Em?" I didn't have much time before Emiel returned, so it was best to cut to the chase. "You hate each other or something?"

"Why? What has he told you?"

"Absolutely nothing."

Rani smiled and looked out at the club. Something dark filled his eyes and when he met my gaze again, I didn't know whether he'd try to kill me or fuck me. "I hate him. He killed our aunt and uncle."
