Bzzzt.
A loud vibration cut through the silence of the hotel room.
"Whose damn number is that?!" Officer Udom snapped, glaring at his phone like it was his mortal enemy. He had just checked into the hotel with a beautiful woman—a deal sealed, a night of pleasure just about to begin. She was in the shower, and things were supposed to get… interesting.
Instead, he was left fuming.
He jabbed the screen. "Hello?"
A lazy, raspy drawl answered on the other end. "Heeello~"
"Who the hell is this? Do you even realize you' re calling a police officer? You looking for trouble?" Udom barked, temper already flaring.
"Of course I know," the boy teased, dragging out his words just to be annoying. "I' m… hmm, what am I again?"
The officer' s eyes narrowed. "Don' t tell me… Pyramid? That little brat?"
"Aha! Correct~ Good job, Officer."
Udom inhaled sharply, veins in his forehead throbbing. Every time he spoke to this kid, his blood pressure skyrocketed.
"What the hell are you calling me for at this hour?!"
"…Can' t go home," Pyramid hiccupped.
"You even have a home? Didn' t you say you were staying at a foundation? How' d they let you out at this time?"
A soft chuckle drifted through the line. "Come pick me up."
"…What?"
"Come get meee~"
Udom' s brows knit tight, but for some reason, he couldn' t hang up. He didn' t understand it himself—why he didn' t just cut the line and throw the phone away.
"Take a taxi!" he snapped.
"They won' t let me in… afraid I' ll puke in the car."
"Puke? What the—don' t tell me you—"
"Went drinking, duh~ hic—"
The officer swore under his breath, rage bubbling so hard it almost turned into laughter. This little devil knew too much about him, and now he had the gall to use drunkenness as an excuse.
"You drank?! Where?!"
"Near here. Close by."
"Where."
"Silom~"
Udom ground his teeth. His fist clenched tight just as the hotel bathroom door creaked open. The woman emerged, wrapped in nothing but a towel, curves gleaming with droplets of water, legs pale and flawless—
"Damn it… stay right where you are, brat. Don' t move an inch!"
With that, he stormed out. Because of course he would. Because this was that brat.
On the other end, Pyramid giggled cluelessly. "Okaaay~"
Later, at Officer Udom' s house—
Wham!
The boy' s collar was yanked up so hard his feet left the ground. He choked for breath, wide eyes locking onto the officer' s sharp, furious gaze. Udom looked like a raging bull about to trample him into the floor.
"You' re still living off other people' s charity, and you dare go drinking?! Where' d you get the money—steal it? Find some idiot to sponsor you? Learn to know your damn place!"
The words struck harder than any slap, slicing deep into drunken pride. Pyramid' s brows twitched. Instead of backing down, he shot back hoarsely, "So what? Picking me up doesn' t make you God. Who are you to lecture anyone?"
Udom' s lips curled into a cruel smile. His hand rose, pinching the boy' s flushed cheek, hard enough to sting.
"Someone unwanted, living off scraps, thinks he has the right to talk back?"
The small frame was hurled onto the bed. The sheets crumpled under his fall, his oversized T-shirt ripped half-off before he could react.
"What the hell are you doing?! I' m warning you—"
"Shut that filthy mouth." Udom pinned him down, broad hands locking his wrists.
The officer straddled him, tearing the white hoodie off in one sharp tug. His phone clicked, capturing the sight of flushed cheeks and wide, drunken eyes.
Snap!
"What the hell—let me go!"
"You think hacking into my business has no price? Before you even dream of selling my secrets, make sure you' re ready for this—a clip of you with a bastard like me. Go ahead, tell the world you' ve got a cop funding you. Tell them what kind of scum you let touch you."
"D-Don' t you dare!" Pyramid' s eyes flew wide, panic rising as he tried to crawl back—only to be slammed down by sheer weight.
"Who sent you to get close to me, huh?"
Udom' s breath was hot against his neck, his tone low and dangerous. The boy' s slight build, pale skin hidden beneath baggy streetwear, was suddenly laid bare. Too thin, too fragile—nothing like a woman' s lush curves. Yet that fragility was exactly what made him so easy to toss around, so easy to pin—
Not that he was alluring. Far from it. But…
"Let' s fall into hell together," Udom muttered, mouth crashing down. Bitter alcohol clung to Pyramid' s lips, harsh and sharp, yet strangely intoxicating.
He wanted more.
The mix of liquor and smoke made the boy shiver, his body betraying him as goosebumps raced down his skin.
"How long will this clip last, I wonder? With you looking like a half-dead ghost, one round might be more than enough." Udom smirked, eyes dark.
"Don' t ever try to threaten me with my secrets again. Mention it once, and I' ll screw you so hard you won' t walk straight." His whisper slithered into the boy' s ear like a curse, his words pounding like a ticking clock inside Pyramid' s chest.
"Your skin' s smoother than I expected," he murmured, thumb tracing down a trembling side, pressing idly against soft flesh just to watch him twitch.
"N-no—!"
Pyramid tried to twist away, only to have his chin seized and jerked back. His flushed face, damp eyes, bitten lips—everything about him screamed defiance and vulnerability all at once. Even the sound of his hoarse, shaky breathing was enough to spark heat where annoyance once ruled.
"Say it," Udom growled. "Say you' re my dog."
"I won' t—!"
Smack!
The officer' s palm cracked across pale skin, leaving a red mark blooming on the curve of his hip. Pyramid' s eyes went wide, tears welling instantly.
"If you don' t, I' ll livestream it to the dark web."
The boy' s breath came in ragged gasps, his arms pinned so tight they' d gone numb. A choked sob broke past his lips.
"…I… I' m a dog."
"Whose dog?" Udom' s smile turned sharp, his thumb flicking over a pale nipple just to watch the boy jolt violently, body hypersensitive.
"…Yours. The officer' s dog."
"Good boy." His chuckle was low, predatory.
"Remember—" Udom' s voice dropped into a growl as he forced his knee between trembling thighs, hitching the smaller body up. "I never wanted you. I only do this because you stuck your nose too deep into my business."
"What are you—!"
Smack!
Another blow landed square on bare flesh. Pyramid clenched his teeth, whole body shuddering, lips trembling on the verge of tears.
"Bad boy~" Udom whispered against his ear, his hot breath brushing skin.
Smack!
This time the red mark blossomed deeper, stubborn defiance melting into muffled sobs.
"Every time you act up, I' ll hit harder," Udom muttered, eyes burning.
Through tear-blurred vision, Pyramid nodded quickly, brokenly.
