A Book Called Desire

XIII. Defining Us (4)

Macau is hoping not to see Nao again, but it turns out that Nao is one of the racers who will be competing and his pit is beside Kla's. He regrets not seeing the official website of the competition. Should've known. The party was extra exclusive. Nao must have something to do with the race.

The guy is already eyeing him up and down from where he stands with slow and undressing you in his head kind of stare, much to Macau's annoyance. He wears something decent and simple today, just a jeans shirt on jeans pants. Not something that can be considered a jack-off material. He doesn't know whether it is a good thing or not that Vegas and Pete are late.

He already knows Nao has a nice body even if it is hidden by the suit. But to see him in that tight racer outfit is a sin, he gotta admit. Since he doesn't want any trouble, thanks to everyone's warning, he diverts his gaze to anywhere but Nao.

Kai has a nice body too. Better even.

When he gets closer to the pit, Nao intercepts him. "You like what you see, Baby?"

'In what year does that pick-up line work?', he thinks. He looks up and prays for his sanity to be intact today. All this guy does is provoke him to spit profanity. Is it that amusing to him?

"Nothing I haven't seen before."

"You haven't seen me naked."

"A dick is a dick. Balls are balls. Nothing new."

"So what does yours look like?"

The upper part of Macau's lips twitch. He doesn't even want to degrade himself in answering and continues his walk. But Nao still won't give him away. He even gets closer, chest almost meeting chest. His lips are on Macau's ear. "I bet you look pretty in my palm, pumping it up and down 'till it becomes hard and you can't take it anymore," he whispers. "Will your breath hitched? Will you moan? Will you be shouting my name?"

Macau is angry and he slams his hand to Nao's chest as hard as he can to vent it. Nao takes a stumbles back. In no time, some people hold him and Nao, crowding them. "You're disgusting!" he spats.

But Nao, with a hand massaging his chest, is smiling like crazy. He enjoys Macau's anger. It shows at least the guy reacts to him. Even if it's negative, he'll take it. "I'm only speaking facts, Baby."

"You're a fucking asshole, you know that?" Macau continues to shout. It's been a long time since he lost his cool in public and boy that does feel great!

Nao smiles. "Nothing new there, Baby. Only the usual insults. Nothing I haven't heard before."

"You ..." Macau wants to continue but Kla is already grabbing him and shielding him from Nao's view.

"What did he say to you?" Kla asks him in a hurry. Macau shakes his head. He is trying hard to control his emotions. Kla clicks his tongue and grabs his arm. "Come, let's just get you away from here."

Kla makes him sit at the back of the pit where fewer people are. Macau just doesn't know why that guy is so adamant about making his life miserable. He did nothing to him! Well, except turned him down on his offer for sex. But Macau doubted Nao really wanted to have sex with him.

He learns from Kim the whole background story of the fall-out between the Hayama and the Theerapanyakul. Kim gathered in one file with a chronological order that made it easier for him to read.

He also learns that Nao wasn't telling lies when he said his family could crush the Theerapanyakul easily. Even Kim was worried. It was evident from the way he sounded when he asked him, "Is everything ok, Coz? You don't cause trouble with him, do you? Stay away from that guy, Cau. He's not your level of trouble. He's not even your brother's level of trouble. You can't handle him. Even your boyfriend can't handle him. At least not quietly."
