The Heir’s Mask

Chapter 2

Best Friend Rules: Straight Lines

Ken Thompson woke up with his c**k painfully hard and leaking against his stomach. I don’t want this to be real. The dream still clung to him like Steve's voice, low and filthy, whispering in his ear. He has a girlfriend. This is against our friendship.

“f**k,” he groaned, dragging a hand down his face. He’d always been straight. Sophia had been proof of that for years until she vanished, leaving him a mess of guilt and unanswered questions after their breakup.

His phone lay on the nightstand. The texts from last night were still there.

Steve’s words burned behind his eyes:

I’m going to bend you over and ruin that straight boy p***y until you’re crying my name and begging for my c*m.

Ken’s d**k twitched again. He hated it. Hated how his body reacted while his mind screamed in protest. With shaking fingers, he typed the same reply he had sent last night.

Ken: Delete those messages and never speak to me like that again. I’m not one of your twisted toys you control for money.

He hit send, then immediately regretted it. Ignoring Steve had always been safer. Engaging only encouraged the bastard.

Steve Vanderbilt read the reply and let out a dark, hungry laugh that echoed off the marble walls. He was naked, fresh from the shower, water still dripping down the carved lines of his abs. His thick c**k hung heavy between his thighs, already half-hard again just from seeing Ken’s name on the screen.

“Oh, Ken,” Steve murmured, his voice rough with obsession.

His obsession with Ken Thompson had lasted for years. It wasn’t a crush. It was possession—a deep, rotting need that consumed every waking thought. Steve had built an empire, maintained the perfect straight image of Lila, and endured his mother Eleanor’s endless demands, all while silently vowing to break Ken open. To make him admit what they both knew: Ken belonged to him. Body, mind, and soul.

Steve wrapped a fist around his c**k and stroked slowly, eyes closed, imagining Ken’s tight virgin ass stretching around him. He wanted to f**k him raw no condom, no mercy. Fill him until c*m leaked down those powerful thighs and Ken still begged for more. He wanted to mark him, bite bruises into his neck, slap his ass red, choke him while pounding that stubborn pride into submission.

His hand moved faster, his thumb swiping over the slick head. “You’re mine, Ken. Even if I have to destroy everything to prove it.”

Pre-c*m dripped over his knuckles. Steve pictured Ken on his knees in the gala bathroom last night, lips stretched obscenely around his c**k while high-society guests mingled just feet away. He imagined forcing every inch down Ken’s throat until he gagged and cried, tears running down flushed cheeks.

Steve came with a guttural groan, painting his abs and chest with thick ropes of c*m. Even after release, the hunger barely dulled. This was what Ken did to him. One man had reduced the untouchable Steve Vanderbilt to a desperate, filthy animal.

He cleaned up, dressed in another immaculate suit, and sent a new text.

Steve: Meet me for lunch. Private booth at Le Bernardino. In the next hour. Don’t make me come find you.

Ken stared at the message for ten full minutes. His c**k was still hard. I should block his number. Should I call Sophia and try to fix whatever the hell went wrong between us? Instead, he remembered Steve’s body pressed against him last night—the unmistakable hardness of that massive d**k against his hip.

Fuck you, Steve.

He hissed the words as he came hard, then lay on the floor, chest heaving, thinking about going.

He showed up anyway.

Steve was already there. The moment Ken slid into the seat opposite him, Steve’s eyes darkened with raw hunger.

“You came,” Steve said, voice low and satisfied. “Good boy.”

“f**k off,” Ken snapped, but his voice lacked real heat. “Say what you need to say so I can leave. I have work to do. I’m not a mama’s boy.”

Steve leaned forward. Under the table, his expensive leather shoe slid up Ken’s calf, pressing deliberately. “I’ve been patient, Ken. For so many years—watching you date women, watching you lie to yourself.” Steve acted like he didn’t hear the protest. “But now you’re single.” His foot moved higher, brushing the inside of Ken’s thigh. “And I’m done waiting.”

Ken’s breath caught. He grabbed Steve’s ankle under the table, intending to shove it away, but his fingers dug in instead. “I’m straight.”

Steve’s laugh was soft and dangerous. “You keep saying that. Yet here you are, hard as stone because my foot is near your dick.” He pressed forward until the toe of his shoe rubbed firmly against the growing bulge in Ken’s pants. “Feel that? That’s what I do to you. Let me calm you down, baby. Let me help you out. I need you too.”

Steve’s eyes never left his face, drinking in every flicker of unwilling pleasure.

“I dream about you every night,” Steve continued, his voice dropping to a filthy whisper. “I want to shove you face down on my bed, spread those cheeks, and eat your tight little hole until you’re sobbing. I want my tongue so deep inside you while you hump the sheets like a desperate slut. Then I’ll f**k you. Bare. Brutal. I’ll pump load after load into your guts until you’re pregnant with my cum.”

Ken’s hips jerked involuntarily against Steve’s shoe. Pre-c*m soaked into his boxers. “Stop… I want you to stop right now.”

“But you don’t truly want me to stop,” Steve murmured. His expression was pure predatory. “You want me to drag you into the bathroom right now, bend you over the sink, and wreck that straight ass in public. Let everyone hear you moan like my personal whore.”

The waiter approached. Steve never moved his foot. He ordered for both of them in that smooth, commanding voice while Ken sat there flushed and painfully aroused, fighting the urge to grind against the teasing pressure.

As soon as the waiter left, Steve leaned even closer. “I’m going to have you, Ken. I’ll ruin every other person for you. No woman will ever make you feel like this. Only me. Only my c**k stretching you open. Only my hand around your throat while I breed you.”

“You’re sick.” Ken’s voice wavered. “We are best friends. We have rules, bro. The support we said we would give each other is not this! Come on, man.”

“I’m honest,” Steve replied, eyes gleaming. “And I’m willing to burn down my entire empire if that’s what it takes to own you.”

Mark, who was in love with Steve and always ready to prove it, walked in without noticing Steve and Ken at first.

Ken’s heart hammered. Part of him wanted to punch Steve. The bigger, more terrifying part wanted to crawl across the table and let him do every filthy thing he described.

Steve’s phone buzzed. He glanced at it, and for the first time, something colder flashed across his face. Eleanor, no doubt, demanding he keep up appearances.

He pulled his foot back slowly, deliberately dragging it over Ken’s aching c**k one last time. “Think about it. Think about me bending you over every surface in this city until you finally admit you’re mine.”

Ken stood abruptly, nearly knocking over his water glass. His erection strained obscenely against his trousers. “This ends now, Steve. Stay the f**k away from me.”

He stormed out of the restaurant, chest heaving, body on fire.

Steve watched him go. He adjusted his own throbbing erection and typed another message.

Steve: Run all you want, baby. I’ll chase you forever. And when I catch you, I won’t be gentle.

He sent it, then leaned back. Mark turned, saw him, and immediately walked over. Steve gave him a peck on the cheek, but in his mind, he was already planning the next move. Ken could deny it all he wanted.

With the biggest smile, Mark started talking and explaining whatever Steve wasn’t interested in. Steve asked him, “Let’s eat. My guest won’t be coming.” Mark couldn’t hide the flirty look in his eyes as they roamed all over Steve.

Steve Vanderbilt always got what he wanted.

And he wanted Ken Thompson broken, bred, and completely addicted no matter the cost. He picked up his phone to place a call.
