Bast sat in his office, shoulders tense, eyes fixed on nothing in particular. Ethan leaned against the desk, arms crossed, watching him.
Ethan: "Hey, Bast. What's up with you?"
Bast (sighing): "Nothing."
Ethan (smirking): "Come on, Bast. I've known you long enough—I can tell something's going on."
Bast exhaled heavily, rubbing his temple as he leaned back in the chair.
Bast: "I promised Kai I wouldn't touch him until our wedding night."
Ethan burst out laughing.
Ethan: "And now you can't control yourself?"
Bast (groaning): "Every time I look at him, I get turned on. It's torture. I'm just... bearing it."
Ethan (grinning): "Well, there's only two days left. The wedding's almost here. Just hang in there."
Bast finally let a smile slip, the tension in his face easing a little.
Bast: "Yeah… just two more days. Then Kai will be mine—forever."
Finally, the big day arrived.
