At one end of the dimly lit room was a piano with a beautiful brown finish that matched the other parts of the gallery. Rawanak, who was still thinking about that hallway, brought his attention to the man in front of him. He looked at Teran in confusion and tilted his head a little, trying to decipher what was happening. “I want you to play. This weekend. At my showcase.” Teran finally managed to say, but was met with a shocked look on Rawanak’s face. “I love how you play. It’s good, and I feel like it matches my showcase.” The artist explained further, hoping to get some positive feedback, but Rawanak just furrowed his eyebrows and stared at the somewhat pleading face looking at him.

“So late. I don’t know what you want me to play.” Rawanak said with a sincere look because this was so last-minute. He had not practiced for this.

“It’s not late. I trust you, just do what you do.” Teran tried to convince the apprehensive man standing beside the piano. “You could even play a little for me now. See if you like it.” Teran said as he motioned his hand toward the instrument.

“What?” The sea god widened his eyes and let out a slight chuckle. Teran relaxed a little when he saw this and decided to push it further.

“Yes. Play for me.” Teran said with a grin on his face. “Please.” He stretched out his bottom lip a little and looked at the hesitant man with pleading eyes. Rawanak shook his head in disbelief at the guy as he let out a wide smile. Of course, the human knew that face would work on him because, without another word, he sat down at the brown-coloured piano.

Teran leaned on the side of the instrument with a smirk on his face that showed how proud he felt of himself. He knew he had won him over. He watched as Rawanak began playing a really ethereal melody that made him awe in disbelief at the guy’s talent. He listened attentively and made eye contact with Rawanak every once in a while when he turned to look up at him. Teran quietly observed how his slender fingers hit the key pads with admirable ease, how he closed his eyes every once in a while as if to feel out the notes, how entranced he looked while playing, and the serious but endearing look on his face. The way a little of his hair hit his face, and the rest was in a messy bun, which let out some strands that flowed to his shoulders. His half-buttoned black shirt, whose sleeves were folded all the way to his elbows. ‘He looks so sexy.’ Teran almost said out loud.

A mischievous smile formed on his lips as he sat down next to Rawanak on the piano, but the blue-haired guy didn’t even look at him. He was in his own world. Teran laid his hand on the guy’s thigh and looked at him, and that’s when Rawanak turned to face those hungry eyes. He gave Teran a confused look, but he still continued hitting the keypads in a slower motion. “Don’t stop. Keep on playing.” Teran said in a sultry voice as he looked at the ethereal man facing him. Rawanak, still a little confused, went back into his piece, but he could feel Teran’s eyes now boring into him.

Teran lay his head lightly on Rawanak’s shoulder and placed a hand on the guy’s stomach, tracing his fingers on his well-defined abs that could be felt through the fabric. He looked up at Rawanak, who kept a neutral face and smiled mischievously before looking back at his slender fingers that hit those pads with that same ease. Teran continued tracing his fingers on the man’s core when he suddenly got the idea to start undoing the remaining buttons. He undid three of them, which were enough for him to be able to easily slip his hand inside the fabric. 

Teran bit his bottom lightly when he made contact with Rawanak’s skin, and he caressed it slowly around his abs up his chest, where he could feel the now hard nipples of the guy. He played with them a little, squeezing them just enough to let out loud breaths from the mermaid god. Rawanak’s body started flashing from the sensations he felt coursing through him. He tried to muffle the loud breaths that threatened to escape his lips again when Teran squeezed his nipple much harder as if trying to get a reaction out of him. “Keep playing,” Teran commanded when he noticed Rawanak was losing his focus on the task at hand.

This is so exciting. Teran thought as he took his hand off the man’s chest and trailed it down to his thigh again. He loved how Rawanak was trying his best to keep his cool while he was clearly flushed all over his face, even his ears were turning red. He smiled to himself, ready to push Rawanak off the edge.

The sea god felt the hand that lay on his thigh start moving up closer to the now visible bulge in his pants. But before Teran could grab it, Rawanak held his wrist out quickly and stopped him. “No.” The mermaid god said sternly.

“Yes,” Teran replied with a serious look on his face as he tried to shake his arm off Teran, but he couldn’t. “What? You don’t like it?” He asked with a fake disappointed look on his face.

“No. Not that…but…now?” Rawanak tried to explain himself to Teran, who was clearly not having it.

“Why not now?” He asked sternly before changing his eyes to a more seductive stare. “You look sexy when you’re like this. It turns me on.” Teran said with an almost whispery note. “I know you like it. When I touch you. I’ve seen how you always look at me.” Teran said this as he stared him straight in the eyes, making Rawanak shift his gaze elsewhere. “Let me play with it while you play music for me.” “Please.” Teran lay his chin on Rawanak’s shoulder as he gazed up at him with that pouty face. Those words made Rawanak involuntarily lose his grip on Teran’s wrist, and it broke free. That felt like an invitation for the now smiling human who started tracing his fingers back up. “Don’t stop again. You’ll finish when I’m done.” Teran traced his fingers that were now on the bulge in Rawanak’s pants as he prepared to give the man both hell and heaven.

The music from the piano filled the room as Rawanak now played with more vigor that seemed to match the swirling emotions in him. On the other hand, Teran was undoing the man’s zip so he could get better access to the guy’s arousal. When the zip finally went down, he slid a hand in and grazed the hardness through Rawanak’s underwear. His lips parted a little from shock and amusement when he felt how large the guy was. He had felt it before that night, but never got close like this, it was so big. He thought to himself as he traced his fingers around the fabric that was between him and his new plaything.

Rawanak's breathing got heavier the more the human touched him, and at this point, he didn’t even want to fight him. He just let him do whatever he wanted as he kept on hitting the keypads harder on the piano. Right now, he wasn’t even playing consciously. It was all just muscle memory because he couldn’t even focus, luckily, he’d done this a million times, so it wasn’t completely impossible for him. “mm…” A stifled moan escaped the sea god’s lips when Teran made direct contact with his manhood.

Teran had pulled the fabric down a little, letting the guy’s hardness free, and he was now ready to please…and torture. “So big, Mr. Rawanak,” Teran said in a low voice as he lifted his head off the man’s shoulders to look at his face.

He kept his eyes on him as he started sliding his fingers up and down Rawanak’s length in slow, deliberate motions that made Rawanak shut his eyes briefly before opening them again to face Teran’s seductive look. He hated and loved him for doing this to him. He averted his focus back to the instrument as Teran continued playing with him.

Teran's lips lifted a little, letting out a proud smile as he continued running his fingers up and down the hot arousal in his hands. He needed to make Rawanak struggle to contain himself, so he lifted his hand close to his lips and spit on his fingers before putting them back on Rawanak’s arousal. He rubbed with much ease and stronger movements, making the sea god groan louder than he already was. Teran was enjoying this. He increased his motions as he frequently stretched out his thumb to rub the guy’s tip that had started letting out the thick liquid.

“Do you think about this a lot?” Teran asked with a teasing tone to the flushing man beside him. Everything this beautiful man did sent chills down his spine and gave him so many butterflies that he just wanted to melt into him. Teran could feel the now throbbing rod in his hands, so he massaged it deliberately and slowly as if to calm Rawanak down, but he didn’t know that doing this only brought the sea god much closer to his release. When he saw this, he placed his thumb on the tip of his manhood and rubbed slowly as he looked at the frustration that showed on the ethereal guy’s face.

“Please…” Rawanak managed to let out a plea that made Teran so happy, he went to give the young man a stronger stroking than before, making him groan and heave in with every motion. “Don’t finish now…I want to play for longer.” Teran said with a naughty pout as he increased his hand’s motion. Those words were enough to send Rawanak completely over the edge, and his body twitched as he came to his release. Teran, on the other hand, stroked with more force, letting out every drop of desire from Rawanak, and he smiled when the man finally collapsed on the piano, which he had stopped for a while already, but Teran was too engrossed in his plaything to even notice.

The sea god’s ragged breathing was heard from under him as he lay on the piano, trying to gather himself. Teran quickly headed to the gallery’s bathroom and washed his hands, grabbing a box of tissues to wipe the mess he had made back there. When he headed back, Rawanak had already zipped himself up and seemed to be waiting for him.

“Wait, are you angry with me?” Teran rushed after Rawanak, who was now making his way up the stairs.

“You did it for the art showcase,” Rawanak said as Teran finally grabbed him.

“I did it because I wanted to. Didn’t you already agree to play at the showcase anyway?” Teran asked, making the sea god angrier. “I thought you had already agreed.” The human insisted when he saw that Rawanak clearly looked disappointed with his statement.

“I don’t say yes,” Rawanak replied as he shook his head in disbelief.

“You didn’t say no. Not just about the showcase.  Even the other…thing.” Teran said in a low defensive tone.

Rawanak let out a smirk that dangled on his face as he walked towards Teran slowly with darkened eyes that scared the human a little. He stepped back as the terrifying-looking man approached him until his back hit the wall, and Rawanak took the opportunity to pin him there as he stared him in his eyes with a look that made Teran uncomfortable.

“I see you. You’re bad.” Rawanak didn’t take his eyes off the human even for a second, as if he was looking into him. “It’s okay.” Rawanak finished as a side of his lips lifted further, forming a smirk that made Teran’s knees buckle, but he finally managed to ask.

“You will perform at my showcase? Right?” Teran mumbled as if afraid to set off the blue-haired guy again.

“Okay,” Rawanak said as he turned toward the staircase that led out to the mansion’s front yard. Teran followed quietly behind until he saw him off, since he had already ordered a cab even though Teran had offered to drive him to the hotel.

After the sea god got out of the car, he walked slowly toward the hotel entrance when he suddenly saw someone who stopped him in his tracks. He widened his eyes in shock and stepped closer to the female figure to confirm he was seeing right. “Raen?” Rawanak said in disbelief at his sister, who now stood only inches away from him. What was his sister doing here? How did she get here? How did she find him? What is happening? A thousand questions rang in his mind as he tried to process everything.
