The Right One...

-10-

Everything that was said to him, still ringing in Paing's ears. It was hard to believe but seeing how Man had adamantly told him, Thanit wouldn't let anyone touch him unless they were allowed, somehow had managed to break the wall he built around his fragile heart, little by little. Yup! Fragile heart, which he owned. He might look muscular and all that, but the truth was, he was a softie and wasn't as tough as he had always portrayed.

Paing hesitated to leave the elevator when the door to it was opened to the floor where Thanit's hotel room was. He was reluctant to come out, but as soon as the door was moved to close, he swiftly slipped his hand between the door and automatically it was opened again for him to step out. He sighed and looked ahead to the empty corridor.

"Should I or should I not?" Paing mumbled to himself as his gaze slowly diverted to the spare key card in his hand. It belonged to Man who shared the hotel room with Thanit. They both had decided to exchange the key card after the intense conversation they had in the bar. Man gave his to him, and he, had given Man the key card to the hotel room he shared with Bright. Both of them needed to resolve the matter before it would go bad. He might not very fond of letting his brother, being alone with Man in that hotel room, but to make it up, and to make amends with his one and only brother, he decided to give Man the chance as well. But of course after he had threatened him a bit.

With a long deep sigh, Paing started to saunter through that empty corridor and walked towards the hotel room where its number was similar to the number on that particular key card. He stood in front the door for a few minutes, then slowly he placed the card to the door scanner and entered the room after the door was unlocked.

Paing quietly closed the door and observed the empty room. Man told him Thanit would be there, but there was no one inside until he heard the sound of raining shower in the bathroom. He smirked and decided to wait for Thanit at the sofa. He sat there and crossed his legs, imagining what that beautiful man was doing behind that closed door. He waited patiently and a smirk emerged on his lips once he heard the sound of the door to that bathroom being unlocked. "Hello, Mr. Itthipat." He greeted Thanit who was startled to see him there.

"S...Sir..W..what are you doing h..here? H..how...how did you get in?" Asked Thanit panicky. He had locked the door and even if he didn't, no one could enter without the key card. So, how in the world that he got into the room that easily?

Paing smirked as he raised the key card he was holding in his hand. "Your best friend gave it to me."

"M..Man? Did he...did he go to see you?" Thanit was surprised by the news. He had specifically told Man not to do such thing, yet he still went to see Bright's brother.

"He did and we had a long conversation today regarding you especially." Paing retorted, eyeing the half naked man in front of him with his lustful gaze.

"W..what did he tell you?" Asked Thanit, slowly raising one arm to cover his chest. He felt a bit uncomfortable because Paing was staring at him as if he was his last meal.

"He told me....what you should have said before offering yourself to me."

"What I should have said? And what would that be?" Thanit tried to look at Paing but quickly averted that piercing gaze because it made him aroused.

"That you are attracted to me. And you are willing to get underneath me only because of that, not because just to help a friend. And you will never offer yourself to any other man."

"He said that? Well, he lied. I am a whore. You did think of me as one too."

"But I have never said the word, Thanit." Paing purposely said Thanit's name just to remove the formality between them. "It was you and Man who mentioned that word. Not once I uttered the word out loud."

"But you did think of me as one." Thanit reminded Paing of what he had done.

"For that, I truly apologize. Didn't mean to think of you as one. I'm just shocked by the whole situation. A deal that I wasn't fond of. Especially when it came from someone whom I am attracted to, and it pissed me off to be honest." Paing's gaze softened as he said those last word.

Thanit immediately diverted his gaze to Paing. "You are attracted to me?"

"Hundred percent yes. You have allured me with your charms, Thanit. I've tried to avoid you, but how am I supposed to do that if I am so infatuated by you?" Paing said, heaving a long heavy sigh after that.

Thanit said nothing in respond. He simply lowered his gaze to hide his glistened eyes.

"Look at me, Thanit."

Thanit shook his head. "I...I can't."

"Why?"

"I...I don't want you to see my tears."

"I hope they are the tears of happiness."

Thanit simply nodded.

"Then, come to me, Thanit. Let me wipe those happy tears. Come here." Paing commanded in his authority voice.

Reluctantly, Thanit moved to Paing and he was shocked when Paing removed his towel and pulled him to sit on his lap.

"My big beautiful cry baby." Paing said while having one arm around Thanit's waist and gently wiping the tears on Thanit's face with his free hand.

"Why...why did you remove my towel?" Thanit asked, having his hands covering below the waist.

"Because....I want to see the whole you. I've been imagining how you look like without any clothes, and damn...I was right. You are the sexiest man alive."

"I am not." Said Thanit shyly.

"Trust me....You are." Paing gently cupped Thanit's chin and forced that man to look only at him. "I want to kiss you, Thanit. And....devour you. Am I allowed to do that to you?"

Thanit's lips slowly curved into a wide smile. "If it's you, you are more than allowed." He wrapped his arms around Paing's neck, and swiftly pressed his lips against Paing's.
