Chapter 5: Total Devotion
The raw, exposed sound ripped through Ni-ki’s pristine bedroom. Sunoo froze the instant it left his lips, horror washing over him anew. It echoed the choked noises from the supply closet, raw and desperate, but here, in this sterile space smelling of sandalwood and clean cotton, it felt infinitely louder. More damning.
Ni-ki didn’t flinch. His thumb kept up that torturous pressure through Sunoo’s damp briefs, a slow, circling motion that sent fresh sparks of agonizing pleasure shooting through Sunoo’s spent nerves. The smirk that touched Ni-ki’s lips was predatory, satisfied. "There it is," he murmured, his breath hot against Sunoo’s ear. He leaned back just enough to meet Sunoo’s wide, terrified eyes. "The sound you make when you get exactly what you wanted."
Sunoo shuddered, trying to press back further against the wall, but there was nowhere to go. Ni-ki’s knee was a hard bar trapping his hip, the hand on the wall beside his head a cage. "I didn’t... I didn’t want..." The lie died in his throat, suffocated by the wet fabric clinging to his cock, the heat radiating from Ni-ki’s bare skin inches away.
Ni-ki’s gaze dropped pointedly to where his thumb still worked. "This says otherwise, hyung." He pressed harder, eliciting another involuntary twitch. "Your little online shrine screamed it." His free hand moved from the wall, tracing a slow, almost lazy path down the side of Sunoo’s neck, over his collarbone. "HoneyThighs_Obsessed. Remember that?" He chuckled, a low, humorless sound. "Cute."
Sunoo flinched as if struck. The username, dragged into this intimate, terrifying space, felt like being skinned alive. He squeezed his eyes shut, wishing the cool, minimalist room would swallow him whole. He remembered the stolen photo – Ni-ki fresh from the shower, towel slung low, abs gleaming under the dorm bathroom lights. Posted with trembling fingers. The comments he’d written, feverish, explicit. The crude digital tributes. Ni-ki had seen it all. Knew it all.
"Look at me." Ni-ki’s voice sliced through his spiraling panic. It wasn’t a request.
Sunoo forced his eyes open. Ni-ki’s expression was unreadable in the dim city-light filtering through the blinds. Cool. Assessing. The dangerous heat from the closet and the hallway seemed banked, replaced by something colder, more controlled. More terrifying.
"You spent months," Ni-ki continued, his thumb still circling relentlessly, "staring at pictures. Thinking about this." He shifted his hips slightly, emphasizing the hard ridge pressing against Sunoo’s thigh. "Wishing you could touch."
He removed his hand from Sunoo’s briefs. Sunoo gasped, a mixture of relief and loss that shamed him all over again. Ni-ki straightened up, pulling his knee off the bed. He took a deliberate step back, putting a foot of space between them. The sudden absence of heat and pressure felt like a vacuum.
"Get up," Ni-ki ordered, his voice flat.
Sunoo stared, confused, trembling. He awkwardly scooted to the edge of the bed, his bare legs cold against the air. He stood on shaky limbs, feeling absurdly vulnerable in just his damp briefs and t-shirt before Ni-ki’s fully clothed form. Ni-ki watched him, arms crossed, a dark silhouette against the window. The silence stretched, thick and heavy.
Then, with a deliberation that felt agonizingly slow, Ni-ki reached down. His fingers hooked into the elastic waistband of his grey sweatpants. He paused, his gaze locked on Sunoo’s face.
Sunoo’s breath hitched. He knew what was coming. The fantasy he’d chased online, the forbidden image he’d worshipped in secret. About to be unveiled by the man who now held every ounce of his humiliation.
Ni-ki pushed the sweats down in one smooth motion, stepping out of them. He stood before Sunoo clad only in black boxer briefs that did little to hide the powerful lines of his thighs, the sharp V-cut leading down from his hips. The muscles Sunoo had obsessed over – the sculpted abs, the defined obliques, the strong shoulders – were fully exposed now in the dim light, glistening faintly with the remnants of dried sweat from practice. He was a living statue, exactly as Sunoo had pictured a thousand times, but stripped of digital filters, imbued with terrifying, overwhelming reality and the chilling weight of Ni-ki’s awareness.
Ni-ki uncrossed his arms. "You wanted it," he stated, the words simple, final. "So worship it."
Sunoo froze, his mind blank. "W-what?"
"You know what I mean, hyung." Ni-ki’s voice was dangerously soft. "You spent enough time writing about it. On your knees. Where you belong for this."
The command, so blunt, so degrading, sent a fresh wave of shame crashing through Sunoo. But beneath it, undeniable, the obsession roared back to life, amplified tenfold by proximity and the raw exposure. His knees felt weak. He sank down onto the cool floor, the plush carpet fibers scratching his bare knees. He kept his head bowed, staring at Ni-ki’s bare feet, the strong tendons in his ankles. The scent of him – sweat, clean skin, that expensive cologne – was overwhelming this close.
"Start with what you loved most," Ni-ki murmured. "The abs, right? All those close-ups."
Sunoo flinched. He could feel Ni-ki’s gaze boring into the top of his head. Slowly, trembling, he lifted his hands. He hesitated, inches from the defined ridges of Ni-ki’s lower abdomen. The skin looked warm, taut.
"Touch." Ni-ki’s voice was a low command.
Sunoo’s fingertips made contact. The skin was smooth, warm, yielding slightly over the rock-hard muscle beneath. It was electric. He sucked in a sharp breath, his fingers tracing the lower ridge, just above the waistband of the black briefs. Just like the photo. Ni-ki didn’t move, but Sunoo felt the muscles tense minutely under his touch. Fueled by a desperate mix of terror and the intoxicating reality of the moment, Sunoo leaned forward. He pressed his lips tentatively to the warm skin just above Ni-ki’s navel. The taste was salt and something uniquely Ni-ki. He kissed higher, following the defined line of an ab muscle, his lips brushing over the ridges. It was clumsy, reverent, utterly humiliating. He could hear Ni-ki’s breath above him, steady, controlled.
"Higher," Ni-ki instructed.
Sunoo obeyed, trailing hesitant kisses up Ni-ki’s torso, towards his chest. The muscles shifted subtly with Ni-ki’s breathing. Sunoo felt dizzy, lost in the sensory overload – the feel of hard muscle under smooth skin, the heat, the scent, the devastating vulnerability of his position. He reached the firm plane of Ni-ki’s pectorals, pausing, unsure.
"Keep going."
Sunoo looked up, confused. Ni-ki tilted his head slightly, his expression unreadable in the gloom. "Arms up."
Ni-ki slowly raised his arms, biceps flexing, resting his hands behind his head in a stance that was both relaxed and deliberately exposing. His gaze remained fixed on Sunoo.
Sunoo understood. The neglected territory in his online fantasies, the forbidden intimacy of it. The hollows. The scent would be stronger there. His cheeks burned. He shuffled closer on his knees, the movement awkward. He hesitated again, eye-level now with Ni-ki’s lower ribs. The light caught the faint sheen under his arms.
"Worship means all of it," Ni-ki said, his voice a low thrum. "Or do you only want the parts you can post online?"
The taunt stung. Shame warred with the obsessive drive. Sunoo leaned in, pressing his face into the warm, dark hollow of Ni-ki’s left underarm. The scent intensified instantly – musky, intensely male, layered with the sharpness of dried sweat and the clean base note of his cologne. It was primal, overwhelming. Sunoo inhaled shakily, his lips brushing the soft skin. He kissed it, a feather-light touch, then another. He traced the edge of the hollow with his tongue, tasting salt. Ni-ki remained statue-still, but Sunoo felt a minute tremor run through him. Emboldened by the scent, the taste, the sheer forbiddenness, Sunoo kissed deeper into the hollow, his tongue exploring the texture, his nose pressed close. He moved to the other side, repeating the action, lost in a haze of sensory submission. He could feel Ni-ki’s heart thudding steadily against his own temple where it pressed against the dancer’s ribs.
After an eternity or a moment, Ni-ki’s hands came down from behind his head. One landed heavily on Sunoo’s shoulder, the fingers digging in. "Enough," he said, his voice slightly thicker than before. He pushed Sunoo back, not roughly, but firmly. Sunoo knelt on the carpet, breathing hard, lips slightly parted, face flushed, staring dazedly up at the body he’d just been allowed to defile.
Ni-ki looked down at him, his expression still unreadable, but a new intensity burned in his dark eyes. The controlled detachment was cracking. "You wanted the rest too, didn't you?" he asked, his gaze dropping deliberately to the front of his own briefs, the clear evidence of his arousal straining the black fabric. He gestured vaguely towards his abdomen. "You practically begged for it online. Humping the screen like a dog."
Sunoo’s breath caught. The crude words, the image, sent a fresh jolt through him. He recalled the feverish comments, the desperate fantasies of grinding against those perfect abs. He nodded mutely, unable to speak, unable to look away.
Ni-ki stepped back until his calves hit the edge of the bed. He sat down heavily, the mattress dipping. He spread his legs slightly, planting his feet firmly on the floor, his powerful torso leaning back slightly, supported on his hands braced behind him. The movement deliberately showcased the defined landscape of his abdomen, the sharp lines leading down. He was a decadent, terrifying offering.
"Do it," Ni-ki commanded, his voice rough-edged. "Do what you always wanted. Show me how badly you need it."
Sunoo scrambled forward on his knees, urgency overriding shame. He positioned himself between Ni-ki’s spread legs, the heat radiating from the dancer’s body enveloping him. He hesitated for only a second, his gaze fixed on the sculpted muscles. Then, with a needy whimper, he surged forward, pressing his clothed, half-hard cock against Ni-ki’s lower abdomen.
The contact was electric. The firmness, the warmth, the reality of it. He rocked his hips tentatively, the rough friction of his damp briefs against Ni-ki’s sweat-damp skin sending sparks up his spine.
"Harder," Ni-ki gritted out, his voice tight. "Or was online all talk?"
The taunt ignited something desperate. Sunoo braced his hands on Ni-ki’s thighs, feeling the powerful muscles tense under his palms. He pushed his hips forward with more force, grinding his cock against the solid ridges of muscle. He did it again. And again. Finding a rhythm. The friction was incredible, rough and perfect. He gasped, burying his face against Ni-ki’s side, near his hip bone, breathing in the intoxicating scent. He rocked harder, faster, the movements becoming frantic, uncontrolled. The wooden edge of the bed frame dug into his shins, but he barely noticed. The only things that existed were the punishing grip of Ni-ki’s hands suddenly on his shoulders, holding him in place, and the relentless, devastating friction against his cock as he rutted against the body he’d obsessed over for so long. He was making low, animal sounds against Ni-ki’s skin, lost in the humiliating, glorious sensation of finally getting exactly what he’d craved, under the exact circumstances he deserved.
Ni-ki’s breathing was harsh above him, his grip on Sunoo’s shoulders iron-tight. He didn’t speak. He just held on, letting Sunoo use him, the only sounds Sunoo’s ragged gasps and the slick, rhythmic slide of fabric on sweat-damp skin. Sunoo felt the coil tightening again, impossibly soon, shame and pleasure fusing into an unstoppable wave. He cried out, a muffled, broken sound against Ni-ki’s hip, as he came violently in his briefs, grinding with desperate, shuddering thrusts until the last tremor subsided.
He collapsed forward, his forehead pressed against Ni-ki’s stomach, gasping, trembling uncontrollably. The room stank of sex, sweat, and Ni-ki’s sandalwood cologne. Ni-ki’s hands slowly loosened on his shoulders, then fell away. Sunoo stayed where he was, too spent, too shattered to move, listening to the frantic thud of Ni-ki’s heart under his ear.
After a long moment, Ni-ki shifted. He didn’t push Sunoo away. He just leaned back further, resting his full weight on his hands behind him, his head dropping forward. His chest rose and fell deeply. He exhaled, a long, slow breath that sounded almost… weary.
Sunoo kept his face pressed against the damp skin. The cold reality of what he’d just done, of how completely he’d surrendered, began to seep through the haze. Ni-ki’s exhaustion felt like the only sound in the world. The silence stretched, filled only by their ragged breathing. Sunoo didn’t dare move. He had worshipped. Ni-ki had allowed it. Used it. What came next was a terrifying void. He felt Ni-ki’s thumb brush, almost absently, against the side of his neck where the pulse still hammered. A touch that wasn’t cruel, wasn’t kind. Just… present. It made Sunoo’s blood run cold. The game had changed, but it wasn't over. The rules were just being rewritten in the heavy silence.
Sunoo stayed pressed against Ni-ki’s stomach, the frantic thud of Ni-ki’s heart the only anchor in his crashing humiliation. Ni-ki finally broke the silence, his voice flat, devoid of the earlier taunt. "Get up."
Sunoo flinched. He pushed himself back onto his knees, wincing at the damp chill clinging to his briefs. Ni-ki’s gaze, sharp as obsidian shards in the dim light, raked over him. "Take those off." His chin jerked towards the soaked fabric. "Now."
A fresh wave of shame burned Sunoo’s face. His hands trembled violently as he hooked his thumbs under the waistband. The damp cotton peeled away slowly, sticking to his sensitive skin. He shoved the briefs down his thighs, kicking them off onto the carpet beside Ni-ki’s discarded sweats. The cool air hit his exposed cock, still half-hard and glistening. Utterly vulnerable.
Ni-ki didn’t move from the bed’s edge. He just stared, his expression unreadable. Then, slowly, he leaned back further, bracing his weight on his hands. He flexed his abdomen deliberately, the defined ridges standing out starkly under the faint city light filtering through the blinds. "Go on," he said, his voice low. "Do it properly this time. Skin on skin."
The command hung in the air. Sunoo hesitated, the fear of deeper exposure warring with the obsessive pull that had led him here. Ni-ki’s eyes narrowed. "You begged for this online. Every fucking comment." He shifted his hips slightly. "Prove you meant it."
Sunoo’s breath hitched. The memory of his own feverish online words echoed in his skull. He shuffled forward on his knees, the carpet rough against his shins. He positioned himself between Ni-ki’s spread legs, eye-level with the sculpted muscles he’d worshipped with his mouth moments ago. The heat radiating from Ni-ki’s bare skin was a tangible force. He reached out, his fingers hovering over the lower ridge of abs, the smooth skin still damp.
"Don't just touch," Ni-ki commanded, a new edge in his voice. "Use it."
Sunoo closed his eyes for a split second, then surged forward. He pressed his naked cock directly onto Ni-ki’s lower abs. The sudden, blazing heat of skin-on-skin contact made him gasp. He froze, overwhelmed.
"Move," Ni-ki ground out.
Sunoo rocked his hips tentatively. The friction was unlike anything he’d experienced – smooth skin sliding over hard muscle, slick with sweat. A low groan escaped him.
"Harder," Ni-ki demanded. He gripped the edge of the mattress, knuckles white. "Show me how fucking desperate you are."
The taunt ignited Sunoo. He braced his hands on Ni-ki’s powerful thighs, fingers digging into the muscle. He thrust forward fiercely, grinding his cock against the solid ridges. Again. Faster. The sensation was electric, maddening. Skin slapped against skin, a wet, rhythmic sound filling the sterile room. Sunoo buried his face against Ni-ki’s hip bone, biting back choked sounds as he rutted, feverish and unrestrained, chasing the brutal friction against the abs he’d fantasized about for so long.
Ni-ki hissed above him, a sharp intake of breath. He didn’t push Sunoo away. He endured it, his own arousal straining visibly against his briefs. Sunoo’s movements became frantic, uncontrolled. He was panting, the damp heat building impossibly fast. Just as the coil tightened, threatening to snap, Ni-ki’s free hand shot out. Not to touch him. He grabbed his phone from the nightstand beside the bed.
The metallic click of the camera app opening was jarring. Sunoo’s head snapped up, his frantic grinding faltering. He saw the screen glow, illuminating Ni-ki’s impassive face in its harsh light. The lens was pointed directly down at him, at his naked cock sliding obscenely over Ni-ki’s flexed abdomen.
"No!" Sunoo choked out, trying to pull back. "Ni-ki, don't–"
Ni-ki’s other hand clamped onto the back of Sunoo’s neck like a vise, holding him firmly in place, grinding. "Keep going," he ordered, his voice cold. "Don't stop." His thumb tapped the screen. The shutter sound echoed – sharp, final. The blinding flash illuminated the scene for a horrifying instant: Sunoo’s flushed, contorted face, his body arched, his cock slick against Ni-ki’s skin. Ni-ki’s fingers flew across the screen. Tapping. Swiping.
Sunoo froze, breathless terror replacing the haze of arousal. "What are you doing?" he whispered, voice raw.
Ni-ki held the phone up, showing Sunoo the glowing screen. It displayed a messaging app. The group name at the top was unmistakable: HoneyThighs_Obsessed. Below it, the freshly sent image. Sunoo humping Ni-ki’s abs. His cock exposed. Desperate. Below the image, a single line of text from Ni-ki’s account: Guess who finally got what he asked for. The little blue 'sent' ticks appeared instantly.
Sunoo made a sound like a wounded animal. Horror, cold and absolute, flooded him. His secret world, his deepest shame, broadcast to the very people who fed his obsession. His body went limp, the frantic energy draining away as Ni-ki finally released his neck. He slid backwards onto the carpet, staring up at Ni-ki in utter disbelief.
Ni-ki lowered the phone, his expression chillingly calm. "Now they know it's real," he stated, his voice devoid of triumph, just cold finality. "No more hiding, hyung. For either of us."
The blue ticks glared back from Ni-ki’s phone screen, tiny digital daggers plunging into Sunoo’s gut. "No," Sunoo rasped, the word scraping his throat raw. His body felt hollowed out, a discarded shell crumpled on the plush carpet. The image – his image, exposed, desperate, grinding against Ni-ki – pulsed behind his eyelids. "Why? Why would you…?" He couldn’t finish. The HoneyThighs_Obsessed group chat wasn't just anonymous strangers; it was his secret confessional, the echo chamber for his darkest, most feverish thoughts about Ni-ki. Now they saw him. Saw the pathetic reality behind the screen name.
Ni-ki lowered the phone slowly, its glow casting harsh shadows across his impassive face. He didn’t look triumphant. Just… resolved. Cold. "You made it real," he stated, his voice flat, devoid of inflection. He shifted on the bed’s edge, the movement deliberate, making the muscles Sunoo had just worshipped tense and ripple faintly in the dim light. "All those comments. All those tributes." He paused, letting the weight of Sunoo’s digital footprint hang in the air thick with the scent of sex and sandalwood. "You wanted an audience. You got one."
Sunoo squeezed his eyes shut, pressing his forehead against his knees, trying to block out the phantom stares of the chat members. He felt naked beyond the physical, flayed open. Ni-ki’s bare feet shifted on the carpet near his hip. "Look at me." The command was quiet, implacable. Sunoo forced his head up. Ni-ki’s gaze was unblinking, assessing the wreckage he’d orchestrated. "You think hiding behind a screen name kept you safe? Kept us safe?" He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees. The defined lines of his torso were inches from Sunoo’s face, a cruel reminder. "It just made you sloppy. Reckless."
A choked sob escaped Sunoo. "I’m sorry," he whispered, the apology useless, pathetic. "I’ll stop. I’ll delete everything. Just… please… take it back." He gestured weakly towards the phone, a tremor running through him. The dampness on his thighs was cold now, chilling him.
Ni-ki watched him, silent for a long moment. The only sound was Sunoo’s ragged breathing and the distant hum of the city outside. Then, Ni-ki exhaled slowly. "Too late for that." He pushed himself fully upright on the bed, swinging his legs up and stretching out with deliberate languor. He settled back against the pillows, head resting on his folded arms, his entire sculpted form displayed like an obscene offering. The black briefs tented prominently. "The picture’s sent. The chat saw." His dark eyes fixed on Sunoo, pinning him to the spot. "But you," he murmured, the hint of something dangerous flickering beneath the calm surface, "you haven’t finished."
Sunoo stared, uncomprehending. Finished? He’d humiliated himself utterly, come twice, been exposed… what more was there? Ni-ki’s gaze drifted pointedly down his own body, lingering on the straining fabric covering his erection. "You got yours," Ni-ki said, his voice dropping to a low, rough scrape. "Twice." He shifted his hips slightly, the movement emphasizing his own neglected arousal. "You think worship is a one-way street?"
Understanding dawned, cold and terrifying. Sunoo’s gaze snapped to the prominent bulge in Ni-ki’s briefs, then back to his face. Ni-ki’s expression was expectant. Commanding. Sunoo swallowed hard, his throat clicking. The fear was a physical weight, but beneath it, a treacherous, familiar current surged – the obsessive pull, the desperate need to please, to touch, amplified a thousandfold by the exposure and Ni-ki’s terrifying control. He crawled forward on his knees, the carpet fibers scratching his bare skin. He stopped at the edge of the bed, eye-level with Ni-ki’s hip. The scent of him, musk and salt and cologne, was overwhelming.
His trembling hands hovered near the waistband of the black briefs. He hesitated, the reality of what Ni-ki demanded crashing over him. Not just touching. Not just worshipping. This. After everything. Ni-ki didn’t move. Didn’t speak. The silence itself was pressure. Sunoo’s fingers brushed the elastic. He flinched.
"Do it," Ni-ki breathed, the words barely audible but carrying the force of a command. "Or should I send them another picture? Show them how reluctant you really are?"
Panic seized Sunoo. "No!" The denial ripped out, sharp with terror. He couldn’t bear another image, another layer of exposure. His fingers hooked under the waistband, pulling the fabric down just enough. Ni-ki’s cock sprang free, thick and hard, the flushed head glistening faintly. Sunoo’s breath hitched. He’d seen glimpses, stolen moments, but never like this. Never presented, demanded. He leaned in, the heat radiating off the skin palpable. The musky scent intensified, primal and intoxicating. He pressed his lips tentatively to the hot shaft, a feather-light touch. The skin was smooth, velvety. He heard Ni-ki’s sharp intake of breath above him.
"More," Ni-ki growled, the single word vibrating with tension.
Sunoo closed his eyes, shutting out the room, the shame, the terrifying exposure. He opened his mouth, taking the head inside. The taste was salt and musk, uniquely Ni-ki. He sucked gently, tentatively, his tongue exploring the sensitive ridge. Ni-ki’s hips jerked minutely. A low groan rumbled in his chest. Emboldened by the sound, lost in the sensory overload and the desperate need to obey, to avoid further punishment, Sunoo took him deeper. He hollowed his cheeks, bobbing his head slowly, finding a rhythm. His hands braced on Ni-ki’s thighs, feeling the powerful muscles tense and tremble under his palms. The sounds – wet, rhythmic, intimate – filled the quiet room, a stark counterpoint to the sterile surroundings.
Ni-ki’s hand came down, fingers tangling roughly in Sunoo’s hair, not guiding, just holding. Anchoring. Possessing. "Faster," he gritted out, his voice thick. Sunoo obeyed, increasing his pace, the slide becoming slicker, easier. He focused on the weight on his tongue, the heat filling his mouth, the choked sounds escaping Ni-ki above him. The fear was still there, a cold knot in his stomach, but it was being drowned out by the sheer physicality of the act, the dizzying power of eliciting these reactions from Ni-ki. He sucked harder, swirling his tongue, desperate to please, to make it good enough, to somehow erase the picture, the exposure, the crushing humiliation.
Ni-ki’s breathing grew ragged, harsh gasps punctuating the wet sounds. His grip on Sunoo’s hair tightened painfully. "Yeah," he hissed, hips lifting off the mattress slightly, thrusting shallowly into the wet heat. "Just like that." Sunoo felt the tension coiling in Ni-ki’s body, the tremors intensifying. He redoubled his efforts, hollowing his cheeks desperately, taking him as deep as he could, gagging slightly but pushing through. The taste flooded his senses. Ni-ki’s groan deepened, turning guttural. His back arched off the bed, muscles straining. "Fuck, Sunoo…" The name, spoken like that, ragged and raw, sent a jolt through Sunoo unlike anything before. It wasn’t ‘hyung’. It was recognition. Possession in the moment.
Ni-ki’s release was sudden, violent. Hot pulses flooded Sunoo’s mouth, thick and salty-bitter. He swallowed convulsively, instinctively, the act itself a deeper surrender. Ni-ki shuddered, a full-body tremor, his grip on Sunoo’s hair bordering on painful as he held him firmly in place, hips jerking through the last waves. Sunoo stayed there, mouth full, until Ni-ki finally went still, his breathing a harsh rasp in the sudden quiet. Only then did Ni-ki’s hand loosen, falling away from his hair.
Sunoo pulled back slowly, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, trembling violently. He knelt on the floor, staring blankly at the damp patch on the pristine white sheets near Ni-ki’s hip. Ni-ki lay sprawled, chest heaving, eyes closed, a sheen of sweat glistening on his skin in the dim light. The silence stretched, heavy with exhaustion and the lingering scent of sex. Sunoo felt utterly spent, hollowed out, a vessel emptied of everything – fear, desire, shame. He had begged with his body, with his mouth, and Ni-ki had taken everything he offered. What remained felt like ashes. Ni-ki shifted, turning his head slowly on the pillow to look down at him. His dark eyes were hooded, unreadable. He reached out, not roughly, his fingertips brushing Sunoo’s bruised jawline where he’d gripped him earlier. The touch was almost… contemplative. Sunoo flinched, but didn’t pull away. He had nothing left.
"More," Sunoo whispered, the word escaping like a ragged breath, barely audible. It wasn't a plea for pleasure. It was the broken sound of a man who had already given everything and found the void still gaping. He stared up at Ni-ki, his eyes wide and empty in the gloom. "Please... Ni-ki... more."
