Arthit is a fallen star with a traumatic past; Kong is a rising star with a promising future. Both take a chance with their present. Read to find out where this journey leads them to. "I do." Was a drunken yet honest confession. "As much as I'd love that, I'd rather you don't." Was a conscious yet forced rejection. This is my very first take on fiction. All the characters, except Arthit and Kongpob, the cover, and the story belong to me. Please do not copy or translate my work.

Another "short" story ***All regular credits*** Based on a prompt from @Stella-Martinelli Daily updates!

''After a few seconds of them staring at one another, Dante finally spoke. But his voice had changed; it was breathless and soft, echoing with a sweetness that Nate could have never imagined existed within him. With the knife left on his palm for Nate to grab, he cooed sheepishly, "Can you...tease me...with this?" Nate Kennedy was devastated when his parents announced their moving overseas. As for him, he was forced to move to a new city, get an apartment near his aunt and enroll in a brand new school. It all started going left when he encountered an assassin named Dante Hercules known not only in their city, but across the entire territory. But Nate didn't know he was an assassin when Nate threatened to kill him after Dante had laid a hand on his aunt. Neither did he know that Dante was into submissive sexual pleasure, relished being dominated violently and carelessly. He had been looking for someone for years and years, until now; he found Nate Kennedy. That is the deal; Nate must keep Dante sexually satisfied. If he fails, he dies, without any remorse. But that was what he thought in the beginning; what happens when emotions start to get involved? When one falls in love with the other? When the dangerous lifestyle of Dante puts Nate's life in jeopardy, which he never thought he would care for?
