CHAPTER 33: SIT ON MY LAP.

Huan entered the room and saw Alexander coming out of the dressing room with his hair still half-wet. He walked toward the man and saw the twins still asleep. He stopped beside the bed and stared at Alexander.

"Not sleep yet?" asked Huan. Usually he slept there, but that night Alexander had kicked him out, and thankfully, he was able to use his own room. But that meant he couldn’t see what was happening.

"Look at how they’re sleeping. How could I possibly close my eyes?" replied Alexander, motioning for Huan to move away from there. He headed to the sofa and picked up his phone.

Before moving, Huan still stared at the twins’ positions. Somehow, Nael’s head was at the foot of the bed with his feet resting on Nathan’s thighs. Meanwhile, Nathan looked calm, sleeping in a normal position.

He just smiled a little. Since childhood, Nael had never been able to stay still; he could take over an entire bed.

"Nael sleeps like that?" asked Huan as he approached Alexander. He was already holding his tablet.

"You wouldn’t believe how many times I lifted his legs off Nathan’s head," replied Alexander. The important thing was that they were calm and were finally able to sleep again after waking up several times. Now he was the one who felt exhausted.

"Do you want to sleep for a while? I’ll watch them," said Huan.

Alexander took a breath. He really did need sleep. He felt very tired. But there were still things he had to finish.

"What about Malvin?" asked Alexander.

Huan held back a smile. "He’s in his room. He snuck out this morning."

Alexander chuckled quietly. He didn’t know how long it had been since they had entertainment like this.

Huan wrote down a few things on his tablet. "Today is Sunday. You don’t have many meetings. They can be postponed. Get some rest," said Huan.

Alexander immediately stopped typing on his phone when he heard Huan’s words. "Damn... I forgot. That old man is coming over for dinner tonight."

Huan fell silent for a moment. He had already noted it down, but he didn’t understand why Alexander looked upset now. The man never enjoyed meeting Antonio, his grandfather, but usually he just tried to avoid him without showing any real annoyance.

"What’s wrong?" asked Huan.

"I just managed to soften Nathan’s heart. I don’t want that old man’s arrival to ruin everything," said Alexander.

Everyone knew that Antonio loved his family very much. But he was too strict, and no one understood how he showed his affection. Who knows how many times they had felt Antonio’s "love" by having to stay in the warehouse for several nights just because of a small mistake.

It was his attitude that made everyone dislike him. They were all too afraid to get close to him. The closer they got, the harsher he became.

Alexander had a good reason to worry now. If the man decided to cause trouble for Nathan, it would be even harder for the boy to get close to them.

Even now, Antonio never felt the need to mourn the loss of a grandchild. That man believed everyone in this world was destined to face their own hardships.

He was too busy to care about feelings, especially his own. One phrase he always said was, "Make a decision when you’ve put your heart in a box." For him, the heart was the most useless organ, something that stopped a person from growing.

"But it seems Sir Antonio is calmer now, not like before," said Huan.

"Of course, after I handled everything."

"I mean, maybe now he can focus on his family, his grandchildren. I feel like he loves you guys."

Alexander chuckled, shaking his head at his words. "What do you expect from an old man even the devil bows to? You know he donated a billion euros just to get a hundred-billion-euro project afterward."

Huan smiled. He really couldn’t read the old man’s moves. But to him, it was that very trait that allowed him to grow an already huge business empire even bigger. Even so, he was sure Antonio always knew how to protect his whole family as well as his assets. No one could touch them.

"Then what’s your plan?" asked Huan. He had to know so he could prepare if needed.

Alexander sighed. He couldn’t hide Nathan. Sooner or later the boy would have to meet his grandfather.

"We’ll see," he finally said.

Huan nodded. He then walked toward the balcony, opened the glass door slightly, and let the cold wind into the room. He stepped outside, looked around, and seeing nothing interesting, walked back in, leaving the door slightly open.

"Why do you like opening doors so much?" asked Alexander, staring and shaking his head. The heater ran all day during winter, and Huan always opened the balcony door.

"I don’t know, I think it’s good to change the air," he replied. But he closed the door again before his master could tell him to.

Alexander put his phone on the table. "Come here, I know you miss me," he said, reaching out his hand to Huan.

Huan felt his face heat up instantly. He looked at the two teenagers still asleep on the bed. "Alex, what if they wake up?"

"Just for a moment. Come here," Alexander said softly, patting his thigh and asking the man to sit on his lap.

Huan swallowed and put his tablet on the table. Before he could even turn his head properly, Alexander had already pulled him in, making him gasp in surprise.

"Oh! Alex..." Huan quickly covered his mouth, afraid his voice would wake the twins.

Alexander smiled slightly and adjusted Huan’s position so he sat comfortably on his lap. He patted Huan’s butt before pulling the hem of his shirt out of his pants. His hand slowly slipped through the opening, rubbing the base of his back and slowly moving upward.

Huan felt his breathing become uneven. He was torn between desire and anxiety because the two teenagers could wake up at any moment.

"A-Alex..." he whispered softly. He held Alexander’s shoulders as the man lifted his shirt.

"Alex? What should you call me, Huan?" Alexander teased, using one hand to pinch his chest under the shirt, gently, but enough to spark heat in Huan’s body, making him moan softly.

"M-Master..." Huan sighed, correcting himself.

He held his breath when Alexander pulled both his hands and held them behind his back, making his chest rise. He felt Alexander’s hot breath on his neck. "Ah!" He looked up and closed his eyes as he felt the man’s tongue trace his skin.

Suddenly—

BAM!!

A loud noise echoed, followed by a stifled groan. "Ugh..."

Huan and Alexander turned at the same time toward the sound. They were shocked to see Nathan had fallen off the bed and was now sitting up, looking stunned.

Alexander reflexively let go of Huan and moved him to the side. He immediately stood up and ran toward his younger brother.

Huan was still aroused, quickly straightening his clothes as he ran after him, his face red.
