"Do you know what I want to do with you, Bright?" Win whispers into the male's ear making the other feel a shiver run down his spine. "W-w-what do you want to do with me?" Bright stutters and feels a cold steel against his neck. "I want to run the tip of my knife on every part of your body until you bleed," Win says whilst doing the same on Bright's neck down to his shoulder blade. "D-d-don't..." "And I'd run my tongue all over those wounds and lick those bloods away from your precious skin. To suck you like you're a sweet lollipop that would go in and out of my mouth," Win smirks and imprints a soft kiss on Bright's forehead. Bright's body starts to warm up just hearing those words from the man who tried to kill him in his sleep earlier. Win takes the older man's hand and inserts one finger on his mouth and sucks on it making Bright tighten. Composing himself, Bright pushes the man away from him and Win bursts into a maniacally spine-chilling laughter before pulling away completely. "Okay, sweetie. I'll spare your life for now but I'll see you again tomorrow. Same time, so keep your windows open if you don't want it smashed," Win winks and makes his way out of the room using the window, leaving a dazed and confused Bright with a raging hard-on ••• Win Waters, an ordinary employee for his mundane life. And a Contract Killer as his hobby. A man who finds pleasure in seeing his victim beg for their lives and scream in fear - until he meets Bright Storms, the man who'll change his whole perspective about life, blood, knives, a different form of begging, and screams. As Win continues to infatuate to his next target, another killer aims for Bright as his next kill. Will Win Waters be able to make his next kill and continue to abandon his sense of humanity? Or will Bright Storms make his first kill and be consummated by blood? With their lives and love for each other on the line, who will they choose to become? ••• ©️Silentbutterscotch💛
