📍Kash's Jet

_

When Kash told Levania they would be flying in his jet, he honestly thought the male was joking. He never expected to actually be standing in front of the huge jet.

The sleek, black jet sat on the tarmac under the pale twilight sky like a predator ready to pounce. It wasn't just any private jet; it was Kash's sanctuary in the sky, a testament to his meticulously curated life. The exterior gleamed, the polished paint reflecting the scattered airport lights like a million tiny diamonds. Its lines were sharp, aggressive, yet undeniably elegant. The tail fin, a sculpted piece of art, was subtly embossed with a stylized 'K♡L', a silent declaration of ownership.

One could almost feel the hum of power radiating from the powerful engines, hinting at the luxurious journey that awaited within. The tinted windows offered no glimpse into the interior, adding to the mystery and exclusivity. It was a machine built for purpose, yes - for swift travel across continents - but also for comfort and privacy, a mobile haven for a man who had little of either. The retractable steps, a marvel of engineering, extended smoothly as if anticipating its passengers and their delicate feet.

It was into this world of curated luxury that Levania stepped. He knew little about planes, much less private jets, but as he ascended the retractable steps of Kash's sleek black marvel, a sense of nervous excitement fluttered in his stomach, a feeling that was both terrifying and utterly thrilling. He was leaving his familiar world behind for the second time, the first being when he left for college, entering a realm of unimaginable luxury, all for the chance to spend a few days with the man he loved.

The doors hissed shut behind them, sealing them within the opulent cocoon, and for a moment, as the engines roared to life, Levania felt like he was leaving Earth behind.

Entering the jet was akin to stepping into a different world. Gone was the utilitarian feel of commercial flights, replaced by an ambiance of quiet opulence. The interior was a symphony of dark wood, soft leather, and ambient lighting, creating a cocoon of warmth and tranquility.

The first thing that struck Levania was the spaciousness of the interior. Unlike the cramped quarters of commercial planes, this cabin felt more like a luxurious apartment. A wide, low-slung couch in dove-grey leather dominated the lounge area, punctuated by plush throw pillows in varying shades of charcoal and silver. A handwoven Persian rug in muted blues and greys anchored the space, its intricate patterns adding a touch of timeless elegance.

To one side, a state-of-the-art entertainment system was concealed behind panels of dark wood, ready to transform the space into a movie theater or a concert hall at a moment's notice. On the other, a sleek, minimalist bar, backed by a mirrored wall, held an impressive array of liquors and carefully selected wines. The glassware, delicate and perfectly shaped, sparkled under the soft light of recessed lamps. Scattered throughout were understated sculptures and coffee table books, carefully chosen to reflect Kash's sophisticated taste in furniture.

Further into the cabin, a small dining area was set for four, the table crafted from a single piece of polished black wood, surrounded by leather-bound chairs. The walls, lined with textured fabric in a deep indigo, created a sense of intimacy and seclusion. Soft, indirect lighting cast long shadows, emphasizing the clean lines and luxurious materials. The details, from the silver cutlery to the subtly patterned napkins, were all carefully considered, reflecting an attention to detail that was almost obsessive.

Separated by a sliding door was the master suite, a sanctuary of pure indulgence. The king-sized bed, draped in silk sheets and a cashmere throw, beckoned invitingly. A wall of windows, treated for privacy, offered panoramic views of the world below. To one side, a spacious dressing area with a built-in wardrobe held their luggage. The en-suite bathroom was a study in minimalist elegance, with marble surfaces, chrome fixtures, and a spacious walk-in shower. Every element was designed to create a sense of calm and relaxation, a stark contrast to the past chaos of Kash's daily life.
