"Can you please... be gentle?" (18+)

"I-I need to take a bath!" Ren blurted out, his nerves fraying under the pressure. The words tumbled out of him in a rush, a frantic attempt to hide from those piercing eyes.

Kade's smile deepened as he watched Ren's flustered reaction, clearly enjoying the effect he had on the younger male. He leaned down slightly, his dark eyes narrowed in playful glint. "You can take a bath after, my sweet. I promise I won't be too rough."

Ren's heart raced, his mind scrambling for an excuse, any excuse, to delay what was clearly inevitable. 

"N-No, I... I really need to brush my teeth first," he stammered, trying to step back, but Kade's hands were firm on his shoulders, preventing any escape.

Kade chuckled softly, lifting Ren's chin with a gentle but unyielding grip. "You're not getting away this time, Ziran Jun."

"B-but," Ren started, but Kade gently placed a finger over Ren's lips, silencing him.
