Brutal Romance

Round 14: Temptation Island

Marcus is watching Lucas and his sweet antics towards Charles who is now sitting in between his legs while Lucas himself his intoxicating himself with the alluring scent that Charles is giving off. Charles felt dizzy with the boat zigzagging along the waves. Looking pale, Lucas quickly pull him even closer and let Charles duck on his legs as he strokes him on him back. The mints Amo gave Charles seems like have no effect at all.

The entire trip is around twenty-five minutes and they are barely more than five minutes on their journey.

The place is stunning. With lush green mountain flora that cover the entire island, fine white sand beach and cozy rooms the resort is a must for relaxation.

Not only that, it also has a pool that you can enjoy if you've gone tired of the salty water. It is indeed heaven on earth.

Unfortunately, Charles is not feeling well after that grueling boat ride. They quickly check in on the hotel. Rooming together are Amo, Marcus and Kite, while Lucas and Charles are on the same room. Once they got their room keys the boys settled in first before they agree to meet before twelve in the afternoon to have some lunch.

"My head is spinning!" Charles complained as he drops his body on the soft bed. Lucas is sorting their baggage’s stoking them in the wardrobe. "Here take this and then sleep." Lucas said as he hands over a pill to him which he did took then Charles lay comfortably on the bed. "Are you not going to sleep also?" Charles said. Lucas gulped as his imagination is going wild and crazy by the minute but soon lay next to Charles and wrap his arms around him and embracing his boy like a teddy with his body.

Charles woke up with Lucas nowhere next to him. He scans the room, but he is not there. He decided to freshen up by taking a hot shower. After doing his business, Charles wander around the resort looking for Lucas then he saw him, at the pool. Charles started to walk towards him but still in a fair distance. As he walks, someone run across his vision it is Marcus no less. With towel on his hands he went to Lucas and started to dry him off like a baby.

Charles brow crease and knit toward each other. Some of the other guests around the area giggle at the sight of Lucas and Marcus. He even heard someone next to him complemented how good they are together.

Charles cease his steps; he turns around and walk away. Instead of returning to their room he explores the amenities and the beach itself. He finds himself on a food stall set up at the beach front.

There he enjoys himself with delicacies that pleases his taste buds. From grilled meat to fresh fruits plus a concoction fruit juice with a kick of alcohol. It is indeed a way to relax.

"Excuse me, do you mind sharing the table?" Someone spokes which made Charles look at him. He also looks around seeing that every table is fully occupied he just nod in agreement.

He sits at the vacant chair. The guy sitting across him is tall and muscular with fair complexion. His lips are plum and has thick eyebrows. An epitome of simple yet head turner.

Charles is staring at him. "Is something wrong?" The guy asks him which knock Charles back to his self. He just looks away and stare at the vast sea of blue and green while the sky turns to crimson. From humid it started to become chilly.

Charles is checking in his phone and he saw something that made his mood turn. "I am Jin. We are both here, but we never knew each other’s name." Jin introduce himself. "Charles." Charles simply responded.

The two boys somehow grew comfortable with each other’s company and is able to know each other better. It is already dark and they have a fair share of alcohol running on their veins already.

They are laughing hard when their table is approached suddenly. "Who is this? Why are you here with him?" Lucas said with burning eyes as he looks at Jin. Charles stare back at him, his gaze is much more fearful than the vibe Lucas is radiating right now. "Jin! I need to go." Charles said smiling to Jin and places cold cash on the table for the items he consumed and then walk away. Lucas is left there, he gave Jin one last look before running next to Charles.

Lucas slammed the door shut and lock it.

"Why are you with him?" Lucas spite at Charles who is now heading for the shower ignoring Lucas. He is feeling sweaty and hot. Few minutes later he emerges back. Lucas is at the bed staring at him. "Why are you with that guy?" Lucas asked once more. Charles had enough of his rambling. "I just met him there, the table is all occupied, so he has no choice but to sit with me." Charles said. "Don't go near him again." Lucas said in annoyance. "And why is that?" He hit back. "Because your boyfriend said so!" Lucas retort emphasizing the word boyfriend. "Oh! Right boyfriend who left his partner to flirt with his best friend?" Charles said in sarcasm and then throws his phone towards Lucas direction.

Lucas check on it, his eyes bulged. "This is nothing I swear!" Lucas said denying Charles allegations. "Yeah right." Charles countered not believing at Lucas. On the pictures posted about three hours ago was Lucas with Marcus drying him up. Another photo has Marcus feeding him with barbecue. But the most intriguing of all is Marcus hands trailing at Lucas abs while his fingers are almost at his crotch area.

Lucas shot up from the bed and walk towards Charles who has just finish putting a decent shirt on.

"Let's talk okay?" Lucas tone has now changed. "Now we are talking. Sorry but I'm tired. Let's talk some other time." Charles said as he grabs one of the pillows and a blanket then settle himself on the couch. "You're not sleeping with me?" Lucas ask but Charles just ignore him.

He even tries to convince him to at least sleep on the bed, but Charles just look at him and then close his eyes back and turn his back on to Lucas and tuck his headphone on his ears.

Lucas cursed. Charles is stubborn but he is also scary at times like this. But he cannot allow Charles to meet that guy again. He knows the way the guy looked at Charles. He knows competition when he sees one. "That guy is into him." Lucas said to himself.

The next day around nine in the morning, Lucas woke up with Charles not on the couch he slept on last night. Standing up he checks the bathroom and notice that Charles personal hygiene kit is not there anymore. He panicked and quickly runs to where he stokes their baggage. His bags are there but Charles are nowhere to be found. "Damn it!" He cursed to himself.  He grabs his phone and dial in Charles but the line is unreachable.
