It was a quiet and tranquil afternoon. Not just any afternoon, but really a ‘silent and peaceful’ one.

How long had it been since Kyle’s house was wrapped in such stillness with no sign of human presence? No, it wasn’t even a matter of how long. As far as Taeui knew, it seemed almost the first time.

In Kyle’s house, where guests usually came and went continuously, it was a rare day when there wasn’t a single visitor. Such days happened maybe 3 or 4 times a year – not counting holidays. On this rare day, Rita had gone to Münster to take a week’s leave because her niece had given birth and no one could take care of her for a few days. Meanwhile, Peter had hurriedly left this morning upon hearing of an uncle’s death. He said he will return tomorrow afternoon.

“This indeed is how life and death intersect.” – Kyle muttered to himself, also having left on a business trip. It was a day trip, but he said he might return late at night. The house was wrapped in calm silence as the last of the morning hours passed.

The only ones remaining were Ilay and Taeui.

There was nothing strange or new about it, but in the stark silence of the mansion, they felt almost like they had been granted a holiday from life. Moreover, wasn’t the weather exceptionally good today? The bright sunshine glistened on the lawn, which Peter had painstakingly cultivated, and above it, the elegantly grown locust tree rustled its leaves.

What a wonderful day this is.

Yet on this wonderful day.

“Perfect. There’s something I’ve been wanting to try.”

Ilay, who woke up late, soon realized how unusually quiet the house was and then discovered that no one was there. Without delay, he abruptly spoke up.

Before the uneasy Taeui could ask: “Huh? What……?” Ilay lifted him as though carrying a sack over his shoulder and headed outside.

The sense of foreboding began when he laid Taeui down on the soft lawn that Peter had carefully maintained, where people often gathered for barbecues or enjoyed leisurely tea under good weather. No, the foreboding started when he first said: “Perfect.”

“Wait——.”

“A while back, when I met Richard, he casually mentioned how exhilarating it feels to have sex under the open sky on a familiar path while taking a walk. Now that I think about it, you and I, though we’ve done it outside a few times, have never done it in the familiar grounds of home, have we?”

There were mountains of things he wanted to say to Ilay, who said this as he straddled over him without delay. If Richard meant that walking path, Taeui wondered if it was perhaps the forest path he frequented during his stay in Dresden; it felt as though he personally knew the partner in that scenario and questioned whether the person agreed to such a thing. He pondered why the familiarity of the surroundings made embarrassing activities more acceptable, or rather, how one could stand the lasting awkwardness it might leave. Various thoughts surged to his throat, but they never made it out his mouth because Ilay’s tongue obstructed them before they could.

“Even if I suggested it, you would have definitely refused.”

“Of course! What am I, crazy? To do it here!!”

Panting heavily, Taeui shouted, despite having his mouth devoured by Ilay, who momentarily paused to grumble.

On any other day, he would never have conceived the idea of having a physical relationship on the spacious and open lawn where Rita, Peter, or guests always came and went. Even though everyone who lived in the house knew about Taeui and Ilay’s relationship, and during those few years everyone had accidentally encountered an embarrassing situation once or twice—having such an encounter in the open courtyard with people coming and going in broad daylight was simply unacceptable. It was a disrespect to others. It was nonsensical.

“If not on a day like this, when would we try it, Taei? Unless I forcibly dragged you out despite your opinion because I really wanted to.”

“……You sometimes, no, often, casually say frightening things.”

Taeui trembled slightly at the shoulders, thinking that this guy was indeed capable of doing such things. And, as always, he readily resigned to it. ‘After all, it didn’t matter much.’ – He thought.

His relationship with Ilay wasn’t bad. No, at this point, he even thought it was good. Sometimes he thought it was very good.

It varied with his physical condition. On tiring and exhausting days, engaging in intimacy with Ilay was still tough and distressing; but on good days, fireworks exploded in front of his eyes, and he’d often find himself swirling arduously in rapture until he collapsed from exhaustion.

……Maybe really, just as this guy said, my body has become tailored precisely to his…… 

When he first realized that, the shock was so earth-shattering he spent the entire day curled on the bed, but Taeui wasn’t one to dwell on something that had already happened. Wasn’t there a saying about enjoying what you can’t avoid?

So this time too, even in the situation where he laid bare under the sun, watching the sky, on the lawn he usually frequented, he was soon engrossed in the act.

After all, it felt good, and today his condition was great, and he liked seeing his dangerously excited face.

Even now, seeing Ilay’s face as he kissed all over Taeui’s body and then, reaching his limits, spread Taeui’s legs and thrust his hips between them, made Taeui endure the sensation akin to suffocation as that overwhelmingly huge organ pushed its way in.

Then came the pounding from within.

‘If internal organs could bruise, surely my insides would be bruised all over……,’ – thought Taeui, but there was no room for even thinking about it as the inside of his head flashed and his whole body flinched from Ilay hitting and scraping precisely on his pleasure points, so he only hugged Ilay’s neck tightly and squeezed his waist with his legs.

“Taei, don’t squeeze me too tight. I might finish too quickly.”

“——It’s……just, my body, tensing up, on its ow……”

And no matter how explosively good it felt, there were times when the scorching heat below made him feel like he was going to lose his mind, yet Ilay would drag it out relentlessly inside, making it almost feel like torture.

In a way, he seemed to enjoy that.

When the burning heat below became unbearable, he would plead with a desperate voice while reflexively contracting inside. And then, Ilay in a delightfully excited tone: “It’s like a starving infant suckling on its mother’s breast. Is it that delicious?”, he compared Taeui to a starving baby sucking his mother’s breast, enjoying the flavor and would nibble and suck on Taeui’s face. Eventually, only when Taeui forgot his dignity and pride, crying out loud in supplication, would Ilay lead him to climax, immensely satisfied.

This guy’s nature is subtly mean, whether during the day or in bed……

With his mind half-gone, Taeui thought, while matching Ilay’s movements relentlessly violating his lower body, he swung his hips in rhythm. Sometimes, the thought crossed his mind that they might just be two animals copulating, but once the flames inside flared up, nothing else mattered.

Even now.

“…………!!”

With a short gasp, feeling Ilay’s motions temporarily halting, Taeui stiffened at the same time. The sensation of explosion, both outside of his body and inside, occurred almost simultaneously. His lower belly was wet with traces of himself, and inside, filled to the brim with Ilay’s mark.

After the brief, intense moments that sparkled in his vision passed, twice, thrice in succession, a pitch-black stillness enveloped his mind.

His whole body felt like it got swept into a whirl in another world and was drifting back into this one leisurely.

After that, when Taeui opened his eyes with a slightly awakened consciousness, Ilay was licking and lightly biting his cheeks and lips. Seeing that Taeui had opened his eyes, Ilay withdrew his member that had been kept inside him. The fullness that seemed to resist for a moment slipped out smoothly in an instant. Taeui shivered as he felt the semen leaking out, trickling down between his buttocks. This was something he was never going to get used to……

“……Are you satisfied now? Did you do what you wanted?”

Taeui mumbled in a low voice. Ilay chuckled and lightly kissed Taeui.

“Yes. Were you okay?”

“Well…… but it would have been better if we had done it in the shade. The sun is shining directly, and it’s hot and scorching.”

“Is that so?” – Ilay stood up. As Taeui mentioned, the sun was beating down on them without a single shadow to cover them. Ilay glanced up at the sun and then looked back down at Taeui.

Feeling awkward being naked under the sun, Taeui was about to get up, but Ilay suddenly lifted him up. Like always, he slung him over his shoulder like a sack and stood.

“It’s okay. The next place is the pool. It won’t be hot.”

“Uh……?”

Carried loosely on those broad shoulders, Taeui perked up at something catching his attention.

“What did you just say……?”

“The next place is the pool, so it won’t be hot.”

“The next place……? What do you mean by the next place?”

When Taeui asked suspiciously, Ilay looked back with questioning eyes.

“I said there was something I wanted to try.”

“You just did it earlier!”

“If it was only one thing, we did that a long time ago. There’s more to do.”

Taeui’s sun-warmed body suddenly felt a chill. He even started to feel a sense of dread. As Taeui tried to sit up while grabbing Ilay’s shoulder and squirmed, he was lightly smacked on the butt, making him quietly settle down again, still unable to shake off the ominous feeling, and quietly asked.

“If there’s more, ……is there something other than the pool……?”

“Yes. And on the living room table.”

“Hey, over there……!!!”

“Over there?”

“……It’s too cramped.”

No matter how much he tried to explain that the place where Kyle and visitors usually sat to chat in the evenings or nights was inappropriate for such things, Ilay wouldn’t understand. Perhaps, the approaching pool was the bigger issue.

However, hearing Ilay comfortably humming beside him, Taeui sighed deeply: “Ugh,..”. It was hard to stop him unless there were very valid reasons. Even with valid reasons, it was tough unless a decent price was offered.

Taeui decided to quietly give up. Holding tightly around Ilay’s neck as he said: “Going in”, Taeui could only say: “You’re doing the cleaning of the pool later. Clean it thoroughly.” Thinking that today he’d have several trips to paradise, but from tomorrow on, he’d feel embarrassed every time he went around there.

But those things didn’t really matter that much. Anyway, while living with Ilay, there had been countless embarrassing moments. In that sense, Taeui was fortunately adapting by becoming increasingly shameless.

Moreover, what truly deserved shame from a human perspective was not that sort of thing. It should have been Ilay’s character that was embarrassing. Though it seemed like Ilay didn’t intend to feel that way at all.

So, no matter where they did something, it wasn’t a sudden cause for shyness.

But sometimes, unexpected things happened that could hurt one’s feelings.

It happened when Ilay was wiping Taeui’s body on the large wooden living room table when Taeui was lying there, unable to move a finger, claiming he’d die if he did any more.

Despite the physical exertion likely being more exhausting for Ilay, Taeui wondered why he was dying while Ilay looked so vigorous and healthy…… Reflecting on the countless times he had wondered this, Taeui let himself be wiped clean by Ilay, starting with his face using a clean towel. The gentle hand that wiped and caressed from the face to the neck, arms, chest, abdomen, and back felt quite pleasant, as if handling a newborn.

“……”

Taeui glanced at Ilay with just his eyes as Ilay meticulously wiped between his fingers. Ilay had a refreshing and pleasant expression.

‘Yes. Although I am exhausted and on the verge of collapse, it’s good that at least you look refreshed. Besides, despite feeling fatigued to death, and numb below, the fact remains that I went to paradise multiple times.’

With some effort, Taeui managed to lift his heavy arm to mess up Ilay’s hair. The hair that Ilay had cut not long ago out of bother was prickly. Ilay glanced up at Taeui. He smirked and turned to lick the hand……Nope. This was a sign of something dangerous. Taeui quickly withdrew his hand.

“Let’s stop unless you intend to kill me today…… Otherwise, I’ll definitely end up bedridden today……”

When Taeui mumbled in a raspy voice, barely understandable, Ilay chuckled. Okay, replied the well-fed beast nonchalantly.

Ilay started wiping below Taeui’s waist with a newly wrung-out towel. Even though he had roughly wiped with tissues, the sticky sensation was lingering. As the towel wiped it clean, it felt refreshing and pleasant, making Taeui spread his legs reluctantly. The nonchalant hand came in between to clean.

Then suddenly, there was a small chuckle. Taeui slowly opened his eyes, which had been drowsily closed. Meeting his gaze of inquiry, Ilay lightly shook his head in reply.

“I’ve thought this before, but you look so cute when you’re all small and subdued after we’re done.”

Saying so with a chuckle, Ilay tapped lightly with his fingertips—Taeui’s member, which he was fairly proud of in his way.

Stunned…… Taeui felt a shocking heart-thumping jolt.

Small and shriveled, subdued and cute thing.

Each expression, when reassessed, delivered layered blows.

The immense shock and profound pain engulfed him, to the point that he was rendered speechless from protesting.

‘You bastard, it’s your monster-like giant rod that’s abnormal. I have a standard proper size for an adult Asian man, dammit. They say men just need to watch their three heads, but how can you leave such scars on an honest heart with your mouth, hands, and that rod of yours? Can you still call yourself human, you beastly……’

Countless storms of protest surged up to his throat, but the pain in his heart was too enormous for him to speak.

It was a tremendous blow that cracked his pride as a man.

No matter how long it had been since Taeui spread his legs for him, and even though his own memory of using his manhood as intended was already hazy, the pride of a man who once reigned as a fairly well-off top was still intact in Taeui.

Seeing Taeui’s shocked face, Ilay also seemed to quickly realize his slip of the tongue. Soon he bent over and kissed Taeui deeply.

“It was a compliment, Taei. Just to let you know, day and night, I constantly think of wanting to suck you up because your adorable and delicious manhood is the only one in my life.”

No, that’s not a compliment either. It might have been meant as a compliment, but it didn’t sound like one.

Taeui glared at Ilay with a mind that had quickly become desolate. Shamelessly, he smiled as kindly as he could, as if trying to gloss over his gaffe, and showered continuous kisses on Taeui.

With physical fatigue topped with a massive mental shock, Taeui’s mind faded to white. He was belatedly about to pass out—as if to sleep.

It’s too much, it’s too much.

Even though Taeui’s heart begrudgingly found some solace in the gentle kisses that tenderly pecked his lips, he still, in the lingering sense of injustice and sadness deeply embedded in his heart, thought: ‘If I could see this damn guy become much more diminished, seeing him sad and flustered, clueless, just once in my life, how wonderful would that be?’ Knowing it was a futile wish, he sincerely prayed to someone in the sky with a yearning heart as he lost consciousness.
