Possession Game
“The Penthouse”
The city glittered like spilled diamonds beyond the glass walls.
From here—sixty floors up—the streets looked like veins of gold.
I had never been this high up in my life.
And I had never been this scared.
I sat on the edge of a leather couch that probably cost more than my entire apartment.
My fingers twisted the hem of my shirt, still damp from the rain.
The man sitting across from me didn’t even glance up from his glass of wine.
His black vest stretched over broad shoulders, his crisp white shirt rolled neatly at the forearms.
Silver-framed glasses caught the light as he finally lifted his gaze.
The man who had bought my debt.
Adrian Kane
“You’re late.”
His voice was low, precise, every word sharpened.
Ren Sato
“I– I didn’t know where—"
A warm weight pressed against my shoulder.
Another man, bare-chested, tattooed over the left arm, leaned into me lazily as if I were his pillow.
His skin radiated heat, his scent—leather and smoke—flooded my senses.
He murmured, his lips brushing my ear.
I jerked away, but his arm looped around my waist with iron strength, pulling me back.
Glasses Man set down his wine with a quiet clink.
Adrian Kane
“Jae, you’ll bruise him.”
Jae Ryu
“He’s not made of glass,”
Jae Ryu
“Besides… you said he’s ours now.”
My heart thudded painfully.
Ours?
I tried to stand, but Jae’s grip tightened.
The man in glasses leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, and studied me like I was some new acquisition.
Adrian Kane
“From this moment,”
He said, voice smooth as silk,
Adrian Kane
“you belong to us. Your debt, your time… and your body. You will stay here.”
Adrian Kane
“You don’t have a choice,”
Jae chuckled low against my neck.
Jae Ryu
“Welcome to the penthouse, pretty thing.”
The city outside sparkled, indifferent to the fact that I had just lost my freedom.
“First Night”
Jae’s arm stayed locked around my waist as if he were afraid I’d vanish.
His skin was hot against my damp shirt, the ink on his shoulder shifting with every slow breath he took.
Ren Sato
“Let go—” I whispered, shoving at his arm.
His lips curved, his voice soft but certain.
Across from us, Adrian Kane leaned back in his seat, crossing one leg over the other.
His gaze was steady, unreadable, and it made my stomach twist worse than Jae’s grip.
Adrian said, speaking my name for the first time.
Adrian Kane
“Do you understand what your signature means?”
Ren Sato
“I didn’t sign anything—”
He reached into his vest pocket, pulling out a folded sheet of paper.
Adrian Kane
“Last month. The loan agreement your ‘friend’ convinced you to take.”
My chest tightened. Kaito…
I’d trusted him. And now—
Adrian Kane
“Your friend sold your debt to us,”
Adrian continued, his tone calm, almost polite.
Adrian Kane
“We paid it in full. That makes you… our investment.”
Jae’s thumb brushed over my hipbone in a slow, almost mocking circle.
Jae Ryu
“And I always take good care of my investments,”
I flinched at the warmth in his voice, because it wasn’t kindness—it was possession.
My voice cracked despite my effort to stay strong.
Adrian Kane
“Because you were exactly what we were looking for.”
The words felt like a chain snapping shut.
Jae pushed himself up from the couch, finally releasing me only to step in front of me.
His shadow fell over my face, his dark eyes glinting.
Jae Ryu
“Come on, pretty thing. Let’s show you your room.”
Adrian’s voice came from behind him, smooth as glass.
Adrian Kane
“It’s not a request, Ren.”
Jae’s hand closed around mine, pulling me toward the long hallway lined with warm lights and quiet echoes.
The air felt heavier with each step.
When the door closed behind us, I realized—
“The Rules”
The door clicked shut behind me, the sound far too final.
The room smelled faintly of leather and something darker—Jae.
I took a step back, but my spine hit the wall.
He smiled, slow and deliberate, as if he’d been waiting for this moment all night.
Jae Ryu
“Relax, pretty thing.”
His fingers brushed my jaw, tilting my face toward him.
Jae Ryu
“No one’s going to hurt you… unless you make us want to.”
My pulse pounded in my ears.
Ren Sato
“Where’s my room?”
Jae Ryu
“I told you. This is it. You stay with us.”
Adrian stepped inside, his presence immediately shifting the air.
His tie was gone now, his shirt sleeves rolled higher, but his composure was untouched.
Adrian Kane
“Rule number one,”
He said, ignoring my protests.
Adrian Kane
“You don’t leave this floor without permission.”
He walked past me and set a glass of water on the nightstand, as if this was all normal.
Adrian Kane
“Rule number two,”
Adrian continued, his eyes cutting into mine,
Adrian Kane
“when either of us calls you, you answer. Immediately.”
Jae leaned casually against the wall, arms folded.
Jae Ryu
“Rule number three,”
Jae Ryu
“you belong to both of us. Don’t try to play favorites.”
In two steps, Adrian was in front of me.
His hand came up, not touching, but close enough that I could feel the heat from his skin.
His tone was calm, but it carried a weight that froze me.
Adrian Kane
“You’re ours now. Accept it, and life will be… easier.”
Jae’s voice came from behind, low and teasing.
Jae Ryu
“And if you don’t…”
His hand landed on my shoulder, sliding slowly down my arm until his fingers brushed my wrist.
Jae Ryu
“…we’ll make you.”
The city lights spilled through the window, painting their shadows over me.
Two men, two kinds of danger—one cold and calculating, the other warm and consuming—closing in until I couldn’t breathe.
And somewhere deep inside, I realized…
This was only the first night.
