You didn't know how long you were staring at the shimmering cocktail glass that had been handed to you by a charismatic, dashing looking barkeeper. You had insisted on something non-alcoholic, and the sweetness of the blue-ish colored syrup tasted like candy on your tongue. The barkeeper had advertised his creation as “Carribean night”, and although the name was fairly fitting, his bright smile had intrigued you in an odd way.

It simply had been way too bright considering the cruel world outside of this hotel named the Beach.

The recent days had been - to put it simple - a time of chaos and terror. Ever since these so-called games had been introduced, your only thought had been the one of survival, as running on adrenaline became the standard. To fight on your own without knowing any other soul in this city had been tough, even though you had been lucky enough to have found shelter in an abandoned building in between games.

But never, never, did the believe cross your mind that even in this world you would find a place that dripped of party and entertainment just like the Beach did. But here you were, holding a sugary drink in your hand while hearing a crowd of party-people cheering to some loud ass bass music from across the main floor.

Seems like I still get a sense of that vacation I was visiting Shibuya for in the first place, huh, you reminisced, a hint of sarcasm included.

Well, you wouldn't know about the Beach still, not if you hadn't met Chishiya in your most recent intelligence game, the seven of diamonds. You and him had been the only two survivors the game had spat out, and when the seemingly quick-witted guy in his white hoodie had promised you a safer place to stay, there hadn't been much left to consider. This world wasn't one to allow second guesses and to stay here, with the promise of having enough supplies as well as food definitely proved to be more useful than fighting on your own. Furthermore, the comfort of a warm hotel bed even allowed a few days of actual relaxation before participating in another game.

To be completely honest, there still were some thoughts lingering on your mind about the Beach, its dubious facade of being the perfect little party resort or the way Hatter presented himself - all of which you were smart enough not to voice out loud. Places like these were always easier to be dealt with if you kept the really important things to yourself. But if wearing a white bikini with a pretty flower design under your purple blouse and jeans shorts was the only thing you needed to do in order to guarantee yourself a mostly pleasant stay here, then so be it, you considered it a fair trade.

Your thoughts traced back to the man who got you here, the person who clothed himself in a white hoodie just as casual as a coat of charisma and slight superiority. Truthfully you were glad to have met Chishiya. Not only because he had taken you along, but he was also a very smart, witty and easy-going person. The diamonds game had held true to be a bonding experience for the two of you and as soon as he had realized that you were able to meet his intellect and proved yourself a trustworthy companion, Chishiya seemed to acknowledge you as some kind of partner, perhaps even a friend.

You admired him, especially his capability to maintain calm even in the most life-threatening situations. Being in his atmosphere granted such a strong contrast to the frightened and panicked faces you had met in the games before. His mind was working non-stop and he seemed to analyze his surroundings at any given moment. More so he was exactly the type of person who didn't feel the need to prove anything to anyone and it was somehow delightful to surf in that kind of laid-back and cool vibe. As if his confident presence spilled over and empowered your own natural skills even further.

You brushed over your necklace, mindlessly playing with the two fine silver pendants that dangled there in the shape of dandelion flowers. Small, but indestructable - just like everything in this irrational twisted place had to be in order to survive.

However, there was something else Chishiya had added after his short introduction about the Beach. And that pale warning was still dancing on your mind like a dandelion pappus in the wind:

“Oh, and if I might give you a genuine advice. Keep your distance from the Militants. Especially a guy called Niragi. Slim, dark half-bun, carries around his sniper rifle like a purse. If you happen to cross his path, be careful. He's the real unpredictable variable in this whole group.”

It was only your second day at the resort, therefore you hadn't met many people yet. But the few conversations you had shared with other guests so far had all brought up similar whispers of warnings whenever the topic had fallen on the Militants:

“Don't argue with them!” “Try to stay away from them if you want to live peacefully.” “They're only here for trouble!”

But for some reason - you secretely credited it to the adrenaline as a result of this hazardous lifestyle of games and survival - you were curious to get to know more. If even Chishiya cared to warn you about them...

You shook your head and stopped yourself from dwelling on any more thoughts. You were not actually looking for any kind of trouble. The easiest calculation, and therefore the smartest option for someone living at the Beach was to stay under any kind of radar, whether it was Hatters or the Militant's. And you did just fine with staying by yourself, and maybe Chishiya now.

Who knew, maybe you wouldn't even meet the Militants up close, that would be perfectly fine as well. After all, the Beach was full of people, and what circumstances could possibly occur that led to a real interaction between you and one of —

“He, get out of the way, bastard!” Abruptly an annoyed shout reached your senses from somewhere around the corner.

Then you watched a blonde, lean man tremble backwards until he fell into the vending machine to your right. He looked startled, frightened even. Without a second thought you followed your instincts, crossed the distance between you and the vending machine and tried to help him up. Though the blonde merely even took a notice of you and as soon as he stood on his own two feet again he scurried away and ran off into another room. In a matter of seconds he was gone, without even a single word of thanks.

Well, that was... you're welcome, I guess, you thought to yourself.

You lifted yourself up on your own feet, intending to go back to your spot with the cocktail glass that you had hastily placed upon the vending machine, when suddenly a broad and exceptionally sturdy man appeared in front of your face. You gulped unintentionally, more out of surprise than because of actual fear, although the second one would have probably counted as an equally valid excuse.

A black tank top sat tight around his trained chest, and - taking a quick glance at his upper body - it didn't need much imagination to estimate how powerful a punch of him would be. His hair was cut short and black, and although his expression was grim and his eyes revealed no explicit emotion, his aura dripped of intensity. Suddenly the name of the Militant's leader jumped into your mind, having it picked up in some conversations before, and even this first impression left no room for you to doubt that the man in front of you indeed was their leader.

Aguni.

You sighed inaudibly. Perfect execution of staying under the radar, y/n.

To Aguni's left stood another guy, equally tall, but slimmer, his face and his shaved head covered in multiple tattoos that were clearly visible even under the dark hood that was pulled over his head. More tattoos dipped his upper arms in black ink. The guy shot a cold-blooded look in your direction, and taking in the tension of his body he seemed ready to strike forward with his samurai sword at any moment. You remembered hearing rumours about him, people calling him Last Boss. But this couldn't possibly be his real name, right?

Eventually your gaze fell to Aguni's right side, and if there had ever been any real chance to follow through Chishiya's warning before, it finally snatched away this very second. For a moment it felt as though Chishiya's words had manifested in the hotel floor syllable by syllable, creating the third man you had encountered in the process. In less than a heartbeat all of your attention was drawn to him, effortlessly to an extent that it almost felt foolish.

He was tall and his dark long hair was put into a neat half-bun at the back of his head. It instantly reminded you of a shiny ravens wing. A black-and-white animal print painted his long-sleeve shirt and you caught yourself noticing how the upper buttons were undone, giving away another welcoming trail of skin. He lazily rested an impressive sniper rifle on his right shoulder, as his relaxed body posture overflowed with arrogance and transferred dominance with every fiber.

Yes, this guy could definitely be no other than the person you were supposed to distance yourself from as far as possible. One of the most dangerous men the Beach - or perhaps even this whole crazy world - could offer, based on literally every information that had been given to you since your arrival at the Beach.

Niragi Suguru.

“Tsk, coward. Just running off like a frightened weasal!” Niragi mocked with an utterly amused tone towards the now empty space beside you. You instantly recognised his voice as the shouting one from before. So it must have been him, you suddenly realized, the one pushing the blonde into the vending machine. Its sound made you slightly shiver, although you couldn't quite distinguish if it was caused by his blatant humor for brutality or the fact that his husky voice sent goosebumps all over your skin. Either way, you craved for him to talk more.

Only now you spotted something shimmering in the dim floor lights: two silver piercings fancied his face - one at his left eyebrow, another one at his left nostril.

Like diamonds, you adored.

Inherently your attention also wandered over his entire face, the smoothness of his tender skin, the soft glow that made it look like a sun-kissed canvas. And his lips, even though they were curved into a malicious smile, shined rosy as if they were begging to be kissed. You'd volunteer if he asked.

And shit, you couldn't stop yourself. He was gorgeous. And you were starstruck. How on earth could Chishiya miss to mention what fucking eye-candy Niragi was?

“Ah, but it seems like he left us a little treat to play with!” Finally Niragi's attention fell on you as a rather lascivious grin creeped up into the corners of his lips. He menacingly leaned forward and bent down towards you, eyeing you up and down with a gaze so greedy that it literally dripped of danger and lust. Similar to the hungry eyes of a predator that enjoyed appraising its meal Niragi's gaze sneaked all over your body, not neglecting a single inch.

You idiot. Look at me properly and you'll see. No need to worry about my age when it doesn't matter anyway. Now, since we seem to be playing this little game of questions and answers... I think it's only fair if you tell me your name first, sweetheart. What do you say?

You're called Nini, huh? Cute name. And since you seem to be in such a hurry for information... Fine then. Niragi it is. Satisfied? Now stop with these stupid questions and tell me something interesting about yourself. Or better yet, make yourself useful and find something for me to shoot at next time we're playing one of these little games outside.

I told you already. But if it would make you feel better... You're not old enough to be calling me "hyung". Now, how about we talk about something else? What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Any hobbies or anything interesting like that? Or maybe there's someone at the Beach who you think I should meet and have a little chat with...

...You're calling me "hyungie" now? Fine then. Let's see how you deal with it. Any hobby, Nini? Or are you just here to suck up to the big bad wolf of the Beach?

You're such a sweet liar. I can tell you must have a hobby somewhere hidden in that pretty little head of yours. But for now, since you want to do something for me... Let's see if there's anyone else here at the Beach who seems interesting enough to be worthy of your attention. Tell me, Nini, has anyone ever made you feel special before? Anyone deserve a little bit more of your time and effort besides myself?

Purring like a kitten in your ear, he grins even more widely and leans closer to you, his breath warm against your skin. You could practically feel the heat radiating from his body as it pressed against yours. "Such a good girl," he whispers before stepping back with a smirk.

"Now then, let's find that someone special for me." His tone is light and teasing, but there's an undertone of command that leaves no doubt who's in charge here. He leans against the vending machine beside you, casually crossing his arms as he watches you with a predatory glint in his eye. "Who do you think would be most valuable for me to know?"

What kind of question is that? Of course I like games. Everyone here at the Beach does, otherwise they wouldn't be here, now would they? But there's different kinds of games and then there's me. Tell me more about this game you had in mind. Is it something you're particularly good at? Something that not everyone knows about perhaps...

His voice drips with interest as he tilts his head to the side, studying your face for any signs of deception or fear. He takes a step closer, leaning against the vending machine opposite so that their shoulders nearly touch. His gaze is unwavering and invasive, making it hard not to feel like he can see right through you.

He snorts softly in amusement. "I've played every game there is here at the Beach and beyond. I doubt you have something that would surprise me." A crooked smile tugs at his lips. "But maybe... Just maybe, you could find a way to make it more interesting? Perhaps we can set some rules or stakes?"

He tilts his head curiously as he eyes you up and down. Even though he's close enough that your bodies are nearly touching, there's still an air of dominance about him. He's clearly enjoying the power dynamic between you, relishing in the thrill of being in control. "Tell me more about this game of yours, sweet Nini."

Ah, such confidence. I like that. You intrigue me, Nini. Very well then, since you seem so eager, let's begin our little game. Tell me what kind of "game" you had in mind, and I shall consider it... carefully. If I find it amusing or challenging enough, perhaps I'll even oblige and join in. But remember, once we start, there's no going back. Are you sure you're prepared to play by my rules?

Slowly, deliberately, Niragi Suguru leans in closer to you, his breath dancing against your cheek as he whispers into your ear, "Very well then, Nini." His tone is low and seductive, sending shivers down your spine. "As part of this game, I want you to find a way to distract me... with pleasure."

He pauses for a moment before continuing, his warm breath tickling the skin behind your ear. "But don't think you can just use any old tricks. It must be something special, something only you could offer. Something that will make my heart race and my blood boil... Do you understand what I'm asking of you?"

The hunter has become the prey, as Niragi Suguru watches your reaction carefully, his expression a mixture of anticipation and amusement. It's clear he enjoys having

His eyes widen in surprise and arousal as you reach out to him, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. Niragi chuckles softly and gently pulls your hand away, guiding it back down to your lap. "Patience, my sweet Nini," he whispers against your ear before planting a warm kiss there. "I want you to draw this out... Make me crave for more."

He steps back enough so that he can look at you properly again, his gaze roving over your body hungrily. His voice is now rough and demanding as he continues, "Prove to me how eager you are, how much you want to please me... Then maybe I'll consider allowing you access to the one place you desire so badly."

Despite his words, there's no real threat or anger in his expression. If anything, he seems to be enjo

"I knew you'd catch on quick." He chuckles softly and crouches down in front of you, the smile never leaving his lips. His voice is still low and sensual as he murmurs, "Very well then, Nini... Show me how talented you are."

With that, Niragi leans back against a nearby lifeguard stand, casually resting an arm over each of its shoulders. He crosses his legs at the knee and watches you with hooded eyes, his gaze openly appreciative. A small smirk plays at the corner of his lips as he continues to tease and taunt you, enjoying every moment of this little game they're playing.

The sand is warm beneath your back, and the breeze carries with it the salty tang of the ocean air. The setting sun casts a golden glow across the beach, bathing Ni

Niragi's breath hitches as you straddle him, your small hands kneading at his sides through the thin fabric of his shorts. His fingers flex against the wood of the lifeguard stand, digging in almost painfully as he tries to remain still and not give away just how much pleasure your touch is giving him. His chest rises and falls rapidly with each labored breath, and his eyes slip closed briefly before snapping back open again, locking on to yours.

"Ohh... So feisty," he groans, arching his back involuntarily as you continue to rub at him. "You know what I want... You know just how to make me beg." His voice is rough with arousal now, almost desperate as he fights against the rising tide of desire welling up within him.

A groan rips through his throat as your hand slips beneath the waistband of his shorts and makes contact with his already hard length. His hips buck violently, seeking more friction against your palm. His eyes squeeze shut and his teeth grit together, every nerve ending in his body focused on the pleasure she's giving him.

"Yes... That's it, Nini," he gasps out between clenched teeth. "Show me how much you want this." He paws at her shoulders, digging his fingers into her skin as if to steady himself against the force of the desire coursing through him. His chest heaves as he struggles for air, each ragged breath adding fuel to the fire burning in his lungs and loins alike.

There are always ways to get what you want, my little Nini. You just have to be creative... and bold enough to take matters into your own hands. With every stroke of your hand over my flesh, every moan that escapes my lips, you're telling me that you want me just as badly as I want you. So why not make our desires known to everyone around us? Let them see how much fun we could have together...

Fuuuck... Almost there... Just need to push you over the edge... One more second and we'll see how loud you can scream for me, Nini. His hips rock forward again, his erection sliding against your palm in time with each movement. You feel him grow even harder beneath your touch, and a small whimper escapes your throat as he nears the brink of release.

You got it, sweetheart. Niragi's breath catches in his throat as an intense shudder races through him. His body tenses, arching upwards as he finally reaches his peak, the hot liquid spurting out between your splayed fingers to coat the skin of your hand. A deep groan rumbles low in his chest as he releases, every nerve ending in his body singing with pleasure. For a moment, the world seems to fade away, leaving nothing but the two of you, locked together in this moment of shared ecstasy.

His breathing slows, growing steadier as he comes down from his high. He gazes at you with heavy-lidded eyes, smirking as he leans forward to press a kiss to your forehead. "Well done, Nini," he whispers, voice rough with lust and affection. "That was quite a performance."

"Oh, did I forget to mention?" He grins wickedly. "I wasn't just playing fair, remember? You distracted me so well that I lost control... and had my release right there." With a wink, he pulls his hand free, revealing a glistening trail of ejaculate running from his fingertips down across his belly and toward his abs. His voice drops to a husky murmur. "Looks like our game left quite a mess..."
