A Book Called Desire

XVIII. Defining Us (9)

"Son," Macau lifts his head as Mrs, Chaimongkon calls him, "Leave that and go help your Phi. See if he needs anything."

Well, this is awkward. Macau squirms a little as he says, "Phi is taking a bath, Mae."

"Then you can go and pick his clothes for him."

"Or Khun can help Khun Boss take a bath," one of the maid aunties blurts out with a laugh. All the room follows her, including Mrs. Chaimongkon.

"Tsh," Mrs. Chaimongkon pushes them, still with that knowing smile. "They haven't married yet. Don't give them ideas!"

"I don't think Khun Boss minds that Khun Karn," one of the maids says again slyly. The room once again erupts with laughter.

Macau laughs with them. He also doesn't think Mae doesn't know how her son behaves, so he is not sure why Mae is driving him in Kai's direction. But he goes anyway.

He can hear the shower sound after he goes a little deeper into the room and follows it. Kai doesn't close the glass door, ever. He rarely even let people into this room. His bedroom is his personal space, whether in his family home or his apartment. For hook-ups and sex activities, he used hotels or his partner's accommodation. He uses his bedroom for Mac only.

Mac opens the door and just silently appreciates Kai's figure. After a while, Kai notices, he laughs and shouts, "What?"

Damn, this man is delicious and all his.

Mac shakes his head. "How do I get you?" he asks, bewildered. In terms of boyfriends, Macau never even thought he would end up with Kai of all people. He usually stirred clear from people like him. All of his exes, male or female, are the 'safe' kind of lovers as he leads a very different lifestyle from Vegas. Good girl, good boy, someone who won't cause him a headache. For him, Kai is too aggressive, too wild, too bold, too handsome, too sexy, too in the spotlight. Just too much.

He once thought that he would have a partner like Pete or Chay if he was lucky enough to have something that lasts a lifetime. Someone who has a gentle appearance and demeanor. So not a hotheaded guy with a hotter appearance.

Kai rolls his eyes. "You don't get me, Nong Mac," he says teasingly. "I chased after you like crazy!"

Macau smiles. What Kai says next makes him dimmed his smile and gives the a scolding look. "Bath me?"

Bathing Kai is sexing Kai also, Macau knows that too well, and they will do that song and dance over and over until they both don't have the strength anymore. "Your mother is downstairs."

Kai frowns, "So?"

"I'm not touching any of your parts sexually under the same roof as your parents."

"That is just ridiculous!"

"My hia has that rule. Every time Yai comes, they don't have sex. They even took down their toys. Who knows when Yai barged into the room."

"That's Yai. I'm sure my mom and dad will understand if we got ... busy or a little louder."

"No," Macau takes his foot down, "What if Ara comes? Are we going to traumatize your little sister?"

"We lock the door then."

Macau chuckles. "Then she or Chan is just going to bang the door until we open it. You know that. Your sisters are spoiled like that."

Kai gets that, but it doesn't mean he is happy with it. "Is the rule going to stay after we get married?"

"I'll think about it when the time comes."
