Moonlight in the Sea [MxM]

Prologue Drowning… my damn s**t of life made me feel as if I was drowning again and again in a non-stop circle that for a moment, I thought to myself that it was what I should truly do to myself. I should put an end to that miserable existence of mine before worse things happen, letting me free from guilt and remorse. I mean, I got nothing! I got no hopes and dreams. I had no money, and soon… soon, I wouldn't even have a house to call mine, so what else could I do? … okay… maybe it was a lie from my dramatic self… I had something… I had love… But it was all until he took it from me! Hope was ironically her name. She was beautiful, such a dream could come true that I couldn't believe she was a Human and not an Angel. Nevertheless, the bond shared between us was only it… Friendship. It was all that existed between us, even if I fell for her on the first day she started to work with us. I could never say no to Hope, it was merely impossible for me to deny any request of hers when our gaze met, and he knew about it as well. … oh, he knew very well about it all… To be fair, it was foolish of me to believe something good was finally happening among all that s**t. It was foolish of me to believe I would finally have some chance with Hope when I was at my lowest and worst point in life. I mean, no one would ever want to accept a man like me right now. I knew it! But again, I wanted to live such a dream for a little moment and let myself drift through the dreams of what could someday be our future together. Those possibilities never existed in Hope’s mind, I should have learned it after spending days, weeks, even months trying to invite her out after my last relationship ended, only to be flatly rejected by her. … I should have known better when she told me, we should go out for some coffee that day, it was impossible it was a date… But I couldn't say no to her and he knew it. It was all my fault because I wanted to dream for a moment, I wanted to believe I was wrong. Yet, life wasn't this as my crap only seemed to get worse and worse as my niece fell sick. Too good to be true was exactly the perfect phrase for me. Nothing was easy. Nothing was free. Nothing couldn't be as good as it sounded. However, I definitely ignored my own beliefs when I followed Hope to that cafe as a little puppy sick in love, only to see her seat next to him. … Dylan, my own personal nemesis that I couldn't get rid of as he was also our boss… The maniac man had a smirk on his face, something that told he was feeling as if he was the winner here. “I’m glad you finally accepted my invitation, Love.” It… It was exactly what I disliked so much about him. Oh, don't get me wrong! I didn't care that he was a man! It had never been an issue for me. But, I did care that it was him. He could have anyone in the world that he wished for, so why did he want to tease me like this? Why did he want me to believe he felt something for me, who was merely an employee of his family’s business? Those were untrustworthy words, all of his words were untrustworthy, and there was also that weird gaze in his eyes… There was something about them that made me believe I wouldn’t be fine if I let myself fall for his charming way. I wasn't sure what he was for sure, but I knew in his eyes that he wasn't like us, that he wasn't a Human. I knew that kind of s**t existed thanks to my lovely family, and I wouldn't be the one playing in this game with him. … but for how long could I keep my word when he laid down very tempting cards before me… “Name your price,” he was aware of everything that was happening when he dropped it on me, knowing I wouldn't have any way out of it. “I want to possess you.” He was insane, but at the same time I couldn't understand what he saw in me. I was the holy grail of madness and loss… yet, he craved for me. He wanted me to be his. He desired it with all of his lust, and he knew now he had the perfect chance for it. “I'm sick of all your little games, be mine and I will give you all the money you need,” holding my arm, he spoke to me as if I already belonged to him. “You will not need to think about any debt anymore, so name your price. Tell me, how much do you want and I will buy you.” Oh, I hated it so much! I hated the smile that grew on his lips by seeing how reluctantly I thought about his words. I hated it so much! I wanted to remove that freak sadistic winner's smirk from his face badly, but I knew I had no other choice… reason no longer spoke to me as it was either it or sink more, leaving myself with no other choice than truly drown in the vast sea as I already felt I was doing. So, despite my disdain, I opened my mouth and named it… I named a price for me to be his slave for life… or until he gets tired of me.
