Worth More Than Gold

Taiyo Kitano never expected his life to change when he took a part-time job as the personal attendant to Shamis Al-Jizzar, the heir to a powerful oil empire studying abroad. He only wanted to keep a roof over his and his younger twin brothers' heads - not become entangled with a wealthy, eccentric man with a heart too open and a chest too irresistible. But Shamis was different. Too different.

What began as a clumsy exchange of money for simple favors - massaging pecs for pocket change, a tycoon's odd attempt to "understand the common man" - has grown into stolen touches, soft gazes, and an intimacy neither can explain away.

As they approach graduation, Taiyo fights to bury the feelings growing deeper with every day spent together. What they share feels like more than physical comfort, but Taiyo cannot afford to fall for a man whose future is set in stone. Shamis will eventually return home - to take over his family's empire, marry a woman chosen for him, and live a life oceans away from the small, worn-down home Taiyo shares with his brothers.

Unless Taiyo can summon the courage to face the truth. That love - unplanned, unspoken, and unstoppable - has grown between them from the very beginning. And that this time, it isn't about money. It's about the life they could build together, if only they dare to reach for it.

Note that this story is a continuation if the BL comic "Paid to Fondle" by Zenosuke it cab be found in Coolmic it's a 9 chapter story that I loved.
