Chapter 231 - 224. Night of Sparkling Lights (2)
"I don’t think I can take all of this by myself," Zein frowned at the complexity of the suit he had to were tonight--the one Rein made for him.
Hell, he didn’t even know how to put those on.
To be fair, the suit itself was nothing complicated. Just a normal three-piece; black, a minimalist cut, and silver buttons. Everything was made to his size in perfection. A small pattern was embroidered with black metallic thread along the hem and the lapel, which would only be visible through keen eyes and light placement.
What stressed him out was the...what did they call it? Garter? Those things used to keep the shirt and socks in place or whatever. He had thought wearing a suit would be like wearing any other clothes, but it actually akin to putting on armor.
Bassena, who was kneeling in front of him to help put on the garter for his socks, chuckled in response. He looked up and said with a grin. "Who says you’ll take them off by yourself?"
Zein looked down, staring at the man who was already looking prim and proper and dashing as always. "You’re tempting me to ditch this whole party."
"Why, you want to spend the night in bed, instead?"
"Doesn’t have to be a bed," Zein grasped the freshly shaven jaw and tilted his head. "I’m never picky about places,"
Where the hell did this side of him hide before? Bassena often asked this question after they entered this relationship. Had Zein always been this kind of person? Was the man just forcing himself to hold back because he didn’t want to be in a relationship before?
It was almost dizzying how Zein kept making these unexpected advances. Bassena felt like he wouldn’t last a minute if it was Zein chasing him.
Staring at the curling blue eyes, Bassena leaned forward and kissed the exposed inner thigh. There was a scar there, that always made Zein twitch if he touch it. This time, he received a harsh pull on his hair, and a delightful gasp.
