LOGINMatthias never expected to be chained to a chair in a filthy dungeon after a night of celebrating a friend's engagement, with the most gorgeous man he'd ever seen threatening to hurt. He certainly never expected to kiss him, touch him, and crave the captor who could end his life. Dante De Santis' mission was to find the man responsible for stealing money from the family. He didn't expect to catch the wrong man, a hot billionaire CEO with more muscles than he liked to admit. Matthias pushed Dante's buttons, got under his skin, and made him feel things that were dead to him. He wasn't gay, so why couldn't he stop wanting Matthias' touch, needing his hands all over him, and craving his mere presence?
View MoreMatthias groaned as he was dumped into a chair, the metal legs scraping annoyingly against the rough floor. The bag was pulled from his head and he blinked, taking in his surroundings.
Dirty, slimy walls with graffiti, a pungent smell that sent his stomach coiling, and trash littered around with rats playing tag. Where the fuck was he? How did he end up here? Matthias tried to move, but he couldn't. His wrists were bound behind his back. His legs were freed, but that didn't help at all. Every muscle in his body ached as if he had been training vigorously in the gym for years without stopping. What happened? He remembered that he was walking out of a nightclub after celebrating a friend's engagement. The sound of the metal door creaking open hauntingly reached his ears. Matthias snapped his head up as a man came into view, strolling towards him, hands tucked in his pockets. A lollipop dangled from his lips. His eyes traveled up to the man's face. This was... Matthias was blown away and dumbstruck. This was the most gorgeous man he had ever seen. Blonde hair, blue-grey eyes, and full lips. His skin was a little tan, the color of light honey. He had a little rugged edge mixed with boyish charm. But his eyes... Matthias felt something else, staring into his eyes. The gorgeous man regarded him with a cruel smirk. He towered over Matthias with a deadly aura. Behind him were probably his guards, dressed in black suits. They wore expressionless faces as they glared at Matthias. Matthias could see the shape of guns beneath the men's jackets. Holy shit. "Well, well. What do we have here?" The gorgeous man pinched Matthias' chin. He spoke with an accent. This man wasn't American or British. Gorgeous as he was, this was his kidnapper. "Who are you? What do you want?" Matthias demanded through gritted teeth. The man laughed wickedly. He sucked on his lollipop and pulled a knife out, twirling it between his fingers. "I'm the one who gets to ask the questions. Not you," he said in a playful yet dark tone. "Who hired you?" Matthias demanded. "Where is the money?" the man asked. Money? What money? He wants my money? Matthias was confused. Who was targeting him? Was it his cousins? His uncle? Aunt? Or one of his business rivals? "You want money? Let me go. I'll give you double the amount whoever is paying you," Matthias tried to sound confident despite the fear bubbling in his chest and his heart beating fast. His hands felt clammy. Matthias started to think about how to escape from this dangerous man. "Don't play games with me. Where's the money? I might let you go if you tell me," his kidnapper spoke in a smooth, rich timbre that Matthias found annoyingly attractive. "I'll give you triple then. Or quadruple, if that's what you want," Matthias exhaled, swallowing his fear down. This man wants more money? Fine. He'll give it to him. Once he gets out of here, Matthias planned to find whoever is behind this kidnapper and make them pay for it. He tried to control his breathing when the man pressed the knife against his cheek. The man lowered himself on his haunches, pouting slightly as he sighed. "Money. Don't make me repeat myself. You should have known better than to steal from my brother, from us. We trusted you. Yet you betrayed us." Steal? Steal what? Matthias Asher Whitlock would never steal money. He was the gold maker. Having owned a multi-trillionaire empire that he inherited from his grandparents, he wasn't short of money. He made every single dime he spent. So when this gorgeous kidnapper accused him of stealing money, all the more Matthias became confused. Matthias tilted his head to one side and said, "I didn't steal any money." The man scoffed. Then he laughed softly, pressing the blunt end of the knife against Matthias' cheek. "Such a beautiful face. I'm sure you don't want Amanda to fuck it up now, do you?" "W-who's Amanda?" "You're looking at her." The man's grey eyes shifted to the knife, then back to Matthias'. Amanda was the name of his knife. "Pretty, isn't she? She's made from a special steel in Africa. I went to great lengths just to buy her and have her designed. See the hilt?" The man tilted the hilt of the knife at Matthias' face. Matthias flinched and moved back. The blade was so close to his face. It could cut him and end his life anytime soon. The hilt was decorated with a wolf and some scale-like pattern, making it look like a fantasy vintage knife. "Beautiful, no? Imagine your blood dripping down the blade to the hilt, soaking into my fingers. Imagine the pain and glory when you feel the pain and the freedom of losing blood." His words were like a snake, wrapping around Matthias' ankles, slithering down his spine. Another snake wrapped around his neck, squeezing until he couldn't breathe. Matthias could hear his heart thrashing beneath his chest and his pulse thundering like crazy. His blood ran cold. This man was a psychopath. Who would be so comfortable with blood and violence? "You're a psycho! Let me go! I didn't steal anything from you!" Matthias yelled, struggling against his bonds. "Help! Help!" Matthias screamed for help. The guards regarded him with bored looks. "It's no use. I've killed everyone around this area so that you and I can go on a lovely date. Isn't it nice, to spend some quality time with me and Amanda, Antonio?" Antonio? Who the hell was that? The man dragged the knife down Matthias' chest. It went down to his stomach where his abs were rising and falling, in and out, fast. The knife went all the way to Matthias' cock. Matthias' eyes widened as the man patted his cock with the knife. It wasn't the knife that made his eyes bulge. It was the state his cock was in. Matthias was hard.Matthias was unable to concentrate on work, so he headed downstairs. All he needed was some fresh air to clear his mind and probably a sip of wine.As he made his way to the kitchen, he heard laughter and voices. One was Hamilton. The other was...Matthias recognized that accent. Dante. He walked towards the kitchen silently. Matthias didn't want to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help it.Dante was seated on the stool in front of the island, cheek propped in one hand as he gazed at Hamilton. His cheeks were flushed pink, a silly smile on his face. It made him look... boyish. Almost innocent. Like he hadn't threatened Matthias an hour ago."Mister Dante, that's ridiculous. I'm not sure if that's even possible," Hamilton chuckled."Oh, you should try it. Just don't let the lady see. They scream bloody murder and run like horses," Dante whispered as if he was speaking about something scandalous.A frown crossed Matthias' face. He didn't understand what they were talking about. But whatever i
Dante didn't expect to laugh at Matthias' words. So... He might be lazy like a sloth. But he always pretended to be hardworking. Did anyone know how hard it was to keep up with the image he curated for years?Probably no one. Actually, Dante would rather lie on his bed and watch TV or play with his PlayStation. Chasing after fuckers who fucked with his brother was tiring. As much as he liked the killing, inflicting pain and fear into people, he wanted to rest and do absolutely nothing.Was it wrong to be not productive at all? Just spend the day lazing in bed?"I thought you were going to kill me," Matthias said.Dante snorted. "I would have if you didn't look—"Dante stopped himself short while Matthias' dark eyes widened slightly.Look good. That was what Dante was about to say. He wasn't going to praise Matthias because that would be out of line.Which kidnapper praises and oogles their victim like what he was doing now?His eyes trailed over Matthias' body. Matthias Asher Whitlock
Matthias was being monitored by Dante's guards. He explained the situation to Drake, who went pale in the face. He had to talk to Drake so that the latter didn't blurt his mouth in front of others. Drake wanted to call the police or some SWAT team to take out Dante.However, Matthias refused, saying that taking rash action might put a bullet in their heads instead.The guards had repeatedly threatened to put a bullet in Matthias' head, including his sister's.Later in the day, Matthias headed back to his mansion. The butler, Hamilton, and housekeeper, Sydney, greeted him at the door with the staff. Their eyes widened when they saw three bodyguards who looked like gangsters keeping close to Matthias."Sir, they are?" Hamilton asked, concerned."Uh... My new bodyguards," Matthias lied."Your bodyguards? I thought you didn't want bodyguards anymore," Hamilton was suspicious."I changed my mind."He hated to lie to the people closest to him, but he didn't have a choice because he felt the
"Matt, there you are! Where have you been all night? Why did you ignore my calls and messages?! Which lowly bitch got your attention?!" Freda demanded.This was Matthias' fiancée that his grandfather arranged for him. Matthias didn't want to marry her, but to please his grandfather and family, he had to."Freda, what are you doing here?" Matthias spoke calmly.Behind her, Drake appeared and gave Matthias an apologetic look. "She barged in, sir. We couldn't stop her. I'm sorry.""What am I doing here?" She scoffed, glancing around before pinning her gaze back at Matthias."You were supposed to get ready for our engagement party tomorrow night. Look at you, still working! I think you want to embarrass me on purpose!" Freda raised her voice.Matthias regarded her with contempt. He never liked her. She was haughty, selfish, pampered, and chased wealth and power. That was the reason why she agreed to this marriage. All she cared about was herself."Unlike you, I have a business to run and
