Daddy (GEMINIFOURTH)

Chapter 5: Left Alone

The penthouse was eerily quiet after Gemini left for work. Fourth sat on the edge of the massive bed, his body still aching from the night before. Every move was a reminder of the intensity of what had happened between him and Gemini. His legs felt like jelly, and his muscles protested every slight shift. He gingerly stood up, testing his balance, and winced as a sharp pain shot through his lower body.

Limping slightly, he made his way toward the bathroom, needing a moment to freshen up. The bathroom, like the rest of the penthouse, was luxurious and modern, with sleek marble floors and a walk-in shower that could easily fit two. He caught his reflection in the mirror—his hair was messy, his skin still flushed from the events of the night. A part of him was proud. He had done what he needed to do, and now, he was living the life he had always dreamed of, even if it came with a price.

As he carefully washed up, he thought back to Gemini's words before he left.

"I'll order food for you. Just message me what you want to eat. And don't leave the penthouse. Wait for me."

Gemini's voice had been calm but firm, the command unmistakable. Fourth had replied with his usual charm, a seductive smile on his lips as he kissed Gemini goodbye. "Yes, Daddy," he had said, his voice dripping with sweet obedience.

Now, though, alone in the vast space, Fourth couldn't help but feel a little restless. The penthouse was gorgeous, sure, but the silence was almost oppressive. He limped back to the bedroom, sinking into the plush couch near the floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a stunning view of the city skyline. From this height, the world below seemed distant, almost insignificant.

Fourth picked up his phone, staring at the screen. He was supposed to message Gemini with his food order, but instead, his thoughts drifted to Phuwin. His best friend had no idea about how things had gone last night or the fact that Fourth hadn't made it back to campus. A mischievous smile tugged at his lips—Phuwin would want all the details.

He opened their chat and typed out a quick message:

"Hey, guess where I am? 😉"

It didn't take long for Phuwin to reply.

"You better not be at Tin's place. 😒"

Fourth chuckled, shaking his head as he quickly typed back.

"Please, I'm at the penthouse. With Gemini. And yes, it happened last night."

There was a momentary pause before Phuwin's flood of messages came in rapid succession.

"Wait, WHAT? You actually did it?? How was it?? Details, now!"

Fourth rolled his eyes playfully and started typing out a response, his thumbs moving quickly over the screen.

"Let's just say I'm sore in ways I didn't know I could be. But it was... intense. I think I did a good job hiding that I was a virgin, but—"

Fourth hesitated, his thoughts trailing back to the moment that Gemini had caught him in the lie about his virginity. His fingers hovered over the screen before he shrugged it off and continued typing.

"But he figured it out. Somehow."

"Oh my God. And he didn't freak out?" Phuwin replied almost instantly.

"No, he didn't freak out. Just teased me about it this morning. He's... intense, but not in a bad way. It's weird. I think I like it. He left for work, but I'm supposed to stay here and wait for him."

Phuwin's next message was filled with warning emojis.

"Just be careful, Fourth. Gemini's not Tin. He's on another level, and you know how rich, powerful guys can be."

Fourth sighed, knowing Phuwin was right. This wasn't some university fling or playful manipulation like he used with Tin. Gemini was powerful, calculating, and nothing about him suggested he played by ordinary rules. But that was part of the thrill, wasn't it?

Before he could reply, his stomach grumbled, reminding him that he hadn't eaten since the previous night. Fourth opened the chat with Gemini, his fingers pausing momentarily before he typed:

"Can I get sushi for lunch? Something fresh."

He hit send and immediately received a response.

"Done. It'll be there in 30 minutes. Stay put."

Fourth smiled. Even in his brief, direct messages, Gemini's control was clear. It was both comforting and unnerving at the same time. He liked the attention, the sense of being taken care of, but it also reminded him that there was no room for mistakes with someone like Gemini.

Laying back against the couch, Fourth tried to relax, but his thoughts kept drifting. A part of him wanted to explore the penthouse more, but Gemini's words echoed in his mind.

"Don't leave the penthouse. Wait for me."

He wondered what Gemini's life was like when he wasn't around. Running a massive company, wielding influence over people, living in this kind of luxury—it was a world Fourth had only dreamed of. And now, he was a part of it, even if only for a while.

Minutes passed, and soon enough, the doorbell rang. Fourth pushed himself up, wincing at the soreness in his legs as he limped over to answer. A delivery man stood at the door, holding a sleek black bag filled with sushi.

"Delivery for Mr. Gemini," the man said, handing over the bag.

"Thank you," Fourth replied, taking the food and closing the door behind him.

He carried the bag to the kitchen and laid everything out on the marble countertop. The sushi looked fresh and expensive, far better than anything he'd ever had before. He took a seat at the dining table, nibbling on a piece of sashimi, the rich flavors melting in his mouth.

As he ate, Fourth's mind wandered back to the night before and the ache that still clung to his body. This was the life he had chosen—a life of indulgence, power, and submission. And despite the pain and the risks, he couldn't deny the excitement coursing through him. He was in too deep now, and there was no going back.

Finishing his meal, Fourth returned to the couch, his body sinking into the soft cushions. He closed his eyes, letting the city's soft hum soothe him. Tonight, Gemini would come back, and Fourth knew that his new life was only just beginning.
