No Strings Attached

Chapter 9

"You want me to make you a cup of coffee?" Zee teased. "I'm not being a conceited bastard if it's true right?" "Touche." He felt Zee's smile on his neck.

"Seriously, what's there not to love about me?"

"True."

He turn around and gave Zee's heart shape lips a light peck.

"That's right Pruk. If you always agree with me like that we won't fight anymore."

Zee smirked and returned the favor by giving him a light peck too. Nunew put his hand around Zee's neck.

He shouldn't do that. But he's full and Zee is so hot. He wanted to savor the moment.

He gave Zee a passionate kiss. Zee groaned, his tongue licking him deep. Zee's right hand move inside his shirt, while his left ran up and down his thigh, then his ass, heating his flesh.

Then he heard Zee's cellphone ringing. "Wait, I need to get that call."

He was breathless as he lean his face on Zee's chest while Zee is reaching his phone on the coffee table. Zee was still hugging him while answering his phone call.

"Yes?" Zee carress his back while he was listening to the phonecall.

"Yes, I haven't forgotten." There's a hint of irritation on Zee's voice. But then eventually his voice mellowed down. "No, it's okay. Yes, I will."

Zee remained quiet while listening on the other line.
"No, I understand. I didn't mean to sound harsh. I'll be there. See you on Friday."

Zee ended the call and lifted Nunew's chin to see his beautiful face.

Nunew look at Zee too. Zee's face was smooth mask of chiseled flesh. His patented Roman God mask, he thought to himself.

"Why? Who's that?"

The fire on his eyes disappeared. "Just a friend."

"A friend?" The words already escape his lips before he prevents it. He shook his head and stood up from his lap. But Zee stop him by tightening his hold on his waist.

"Stop it, Nunew, it's nothing to worry about."

Zee's tone slapped him like a leather whip. It penetrated to his flesh and bone.

Of course, he smiled bitterly on himself. It was nothing he should worry about. They were not in a relationship in the first place. He needed to remember that.

"You're right." He kissed Zee to remind himself of what they are.

He succeed. It's hard to think of anything else when Zee's lips is on his.

That night, while Zee was still at the bathroom, taking a bath. He heard the ringtone he assigned for Nat. His bubbly friend happily shared some stories about Max Kornthas, the man he was talking about the last time.

"Have I told you, Jelly, P'Max is the son of a network mogul?" He was sure that Nat was all smile while talking.

"No, you haven't. Why?"

"I just remember. He's into his father business and he's working on some shows. Have you heard about Young Blood?"

The door of his bathroom opens revealing a delicious looking Zee Pruk. He looked up and his breath hitched. He supposed he would never get used to how gorgeous Zee was. The Panich was gloriously naked, his sculpted body in full display underneath the harsh light of his room. He tried the hardest to look away.

"They feature young and new entrepreneurs right?" Nunew ask. "Yes. P'Max is one of the producer of that show."

Nunew remained silent for awhile to think and then started talking again. "Do you think Harit can be featured in the show?"

"Hmmm. I think so. I'll tell him." "Don't you think we are being biased?"

"No Jelly. Showbusiness industry is really biased. We should utilize all tools available to us. Connection isn't a bad thing."

"Thanks, Nat!"

His fluffy bed dip with Zee's weight, then the latter arms engulf him. He felt Zee's heat and he lean on the latter's chest.

He continued to talk with Nat for awhile. The call ended when Nat'a boyfriend arrived in Nat's home.

Zee pull the comforter on his and Nunew's bodies so they could start sleeping. "They'll feature your brother on a show?"

He snuggle closer to Zee, feeling his warmth. "I hope so."

Zee run his fingers on his back and he could feel his eye lids getting heavier. The Panich really had magical hands. It's more effective than any sleeping pills or scented candles. He would definitely miss all of that when everything about them ends...

"There are still a few open commercial spaces in Gemini Resort. Your brother might want to get one."

Nunew suddenly felt so awake. He was sure his eyes now as big as an owl's. "What?" Nunew ask in shock.

"There are still~~"

"You think Harit can get one?" Nunew ask again and now he was widely awake. It's very hard to get a commercial space on the popular, newly built resort and casino complex. He remember his collegue complaining last year. Only prestigious brand are allowed to enter the said complex. "It would really help if he could but I heard--"

"I own the place, Nunew. I'm sure I can do something about it."

He showered kisses all over Zee's handsome face.

Zee was laughing while holding his beautiful face and gave him a deep kiss. He really had to get a sample of Zee's saliva because his kiss was really something.

He felt dizzy but he was still smiling when Zee let go of his lips.

"Thank You." He nuzzle his face on Zee's neck.

"Taking advantage but~~~"

"There's nothing wrong with using the things you have. We'll give your brother the opportunity and it's in his hands whether he'll succeed or not. If he's not really good, even a prime commercial space in Gemini won't help him."

"You sound like Nat, and yes, Harit is good. I love his cakes." He kiss and hug Zee again. "Thank you, Hia Zee."

Zee squeezed his back and burried his face against his shoulder. "Come with me on Monday." Zee said.

"So Mr. Pruk, the help you'll be giving to my brother is a bribe so I'll come with you on Monday?"

"I'd still offer to help even if you decline my invitation. But I would really appreciate it if you don't."

Nunew sigh while playing with Zee's hair with his fingers. Mr. Pruk had such soft hair. One day, he'll get one of Zee's hair strand and will conduct a study on it. He'll checked if it was because of his genes or just because of his shampoo and conditioner.

"Okay."

He felt Zee's smile on his shoulder. Zee lifted his face and once again capture his plump ones. Zee bit his upper plump lip before suckling it inside Zee's mouth.

"Thanks." Zee once again gave him a peck on his lips.

"So our plan on Friday is still good?" Nunew can't help but ask. Zee caress his blonde hair. "Of course."

"But you'll meet someone on Friday."

"It'll be done by noon. We will go on with our plan okay?"

He doesn't want to admit it but he felt better when Zee said that. He look up to Zee and once again kiss him. Zee's lips opened beneath his and Zee welcome his tongue.
