Panting, Taro pressed his forehead to my shoulder. “Oh fuck, pet, you feel so good.”
I hummed under my breath and rubbed his back when he pulled slowly out and plunged back in.
“Fuck me,” I cried when he hit my prostate and ground against it.
“I am, pet. I am.” He pulled out again and pushed back in. I gripped his hair and tugged his mouth down to mine. That was when he lost control and fucked me into the bed like he’d been possessed. His hand wound around my right thigh. He brought it high and went deeper.
“Christ,” I grunted against his mouth before tangling our tongues together in a hot and wet kiss. “Baby. Baby, close,” I warned. My body tensed, my arse tightened around him, and I was coming in the next second without even touching my cock.
Taro groaned, pulled back, and got to his hands above me. I kept coming with every thrust. Taro made a noise in the back of his throat, and he swelled inside me, drawing a strangled cry from me, and I felt his seed coating me inside.
Gently, he pulled out but stayed between my legs. I opened my eyes, breathing heavily and feeling the loss of him. His gaze was between my legs. His hand dipped in. I shuddered when he slipped a finger inside, pushing his cum back in.
He bent, kissed my stomach. “Never had better,” he mumbled, pulling his finger free. I wrapped my arms around him, tugged him down, and rolled so I half lay over him, resting my cheek to his shoulder.
“This was where I was always supposed to end up,” I told him, honestly believing it.
“Josh,” he whispered, curling his arms tightly around me.
“Don’t get tired on me, baby. As soon as I’m ready, I’m gonna fuck you, ’cause I wanna see my cum drip outta your arse.”
He chuckled, rubbing my back. “Then lift your head and kiss me so we can get started.”
I did.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Ruin
By the time I left the club after overseeing some renovations, it was late. There was no need to rush home, though, since Taro would be out at a business dinner. I walked down the street towards the car park area not far from the club and passed a Japanese restaurant. The scent drew me in. I was starved. Knowing there’d be plenty of food at home didn’t stop me from looking in and drooling over the plates I saw on people’s tables.
I stopped. “What the fuck?” I snarled. My eyes caught on Taro sitting at a bar with some tattooed guy.
They talked.
They smiled.
Even laughed.
Anger slipped into my veins.
Shaking my head, I took a deep breath. I had to remember Taro said he was out to dinner on business. This guy was business. What type of business? Because I sure didn’t like the way he was looking at Taro.
Like he wanted all of Taro’s business.
I could be exaggerating, but I knew a player when I saw one. Hell, I used to be one, and we recognised our own kind. He had it written all over his face.
What type of game was this dick playing at, though?
The guy chuckled at something Taro said and put his hand on Taro’s arm. I saw red, clenching my teeth and fists. I locked my body down to stop from waltzing in there and pissing on Taro while growling, “Mine.”
A waiter blocked my view. “Move, fucker,” I clipped as I near pressed my nose up to the glass. I could feel people staring at me, but I didn’t give two hoots.
When the waiter walked off towards a hallway, Taro and the piece of shit got off their stools and followed him.
Why were they going out the back?
Were there private rooms out there?
Grabbing my phone, I googled the restaurant and rang the line. A female voice answered, “Tokyo, how can I help you?”
“Question, if I was to book a meeting, are there any private rooms available to eat in?”
“Of course, sir, there’s—”
My anger built as I ended the call and scowled through the window. Why did they need a private room? I didn’t like it. There wasn’t anything I liked about what I saw. Where the hell was Ryo? He was supposed to have his back, even when guys were flirting with Taro. He had to stop that shit. I’d have to talk to him about it.
So now what was I supposed to do? Did I go home like a good little boy and wait for Taro to return and explain what the fuck was up with this? Or did I wait for him outside so I could keep an eye on the fucker to make sure he didn’t follow Taro home? Another option was to walk in there to make sure the piece of shit knew Taro was taken and to quit the flirting.
I trusted Taro.
Completely.
I knew all he wanted was me. I was a damn catch, after all. Yeah, I was also cocky enough to see it written all over him. He was smitten like a kitten, and I felt the same way about him.
The problem was other people.
I didn’t trust other people I knew nothing about at all.
The guy looked rough. Looked like he could overpower Taro and fuck him on a table.
I strode to the door and opened it.
Wolf
It was easy to get along with Link. He was laid-back, funny, and smart. I was glad Talon had suggested him.
“Here we go, gentlemen,” the waiter said, opening the door to a private room. He dipped his head at me, knowing I owned the restaurant. Link walked in and looked around. It was a small room but good enough for the four of us. Ryo and Link’s guard showed up after I entered. They’d been standing back from us at the bar, checking the area.
Link took a seat at the table; I followed suit. Ryo stood behind me. Even when I offered him a seat, he suitably shook his head. Link hadn’t offered his guard a seat, though. The guard whispered something to Link, who nodded, and the guard left the room.
“He’s going to make a call.” He leaned forward, elbows to the table, hands clasped. “Want to get down to business before we eat?”
“That would be good. Did you get a chance to go over the paperwork I emailed this morning?”
He nodded. “I did.”
I waited, leaning back in my seat. We’d already ordered our food at the bar while waiting for the room to be cleared.
Link smirked, his gaze briefly shifting over me to Ryo and back again. On the inside, I was cheering that he looked at my friend. I wanted him to notice Ryo. Upon seeing Link in person, Ryo had reacted in a way I’d never seen from him before… by tripping.
Keep looking at my friend. He needs your attention. Fuck the business. He’s worthy of your time.
I couldn’t say or do anything, unsure what type of look he gave—if he had been checking Ryo out or sizing him up. The man was difficult to read.
“I’d like to accept the deal, but I want to confirm all rights for the businesses will be in my hands.”
“Everything, yes.”
Link nodded. “It’s a fuckin’ large amount of money. Are you sure you want to give it up for some person?”
“You obviously haven’t met the right person to be willing to do such a thing for. Though, it’s also for my family. You do understand the attention this will bring upon you? Our family has always dealt with rivals wanting to take our business.”
Link grinned. “You don’t need to worry about that. Most are too scared to deal with me. My reputation speaks for itself.” I had heard he killed without any remorse, and he was also intimidating to others because the number of men he had on his payroll was vast.
Hmm, maybe Ryo should look elsewhere for someone. I wouldn’t want Ryo to be caught in any trouble being associated with Link. Then again, Ryo would call me stupid for underestimating him.
Voices rose outside the door. Ryo gripped my hand, pulled me from my seat, and planted me in front of the table while he then reached over and yanked Link out of his seat, pulling him to stand beside me. Ryo took up position in front of us, gun raised, pointed at the door.
Link’s eyes glowed with humour. “Did he just manhandle me to protect me?”
I grinned, my own gun in hand, ready to see
what was going on outside the door. “He did.”
“Huh,” Link grunted and stared at the back of Ryo.
“Sir, you can’t go in there” we all heard.
“Like fuck” was snarled by a voice I recognised. “Move.”
Ryo relaxed, as did I, and both of us put our weapons away. Link looked from one to another and back again before he asked, “What’s going on?”
Ryo snorted. “You’ll see.” He moved to the door and opened it just as Josh pushed the waiter to the side and stepped through. “It’s all right,” Ryo told the waiter.
“You,” Josh snarled, pointing at Link. “I don’t give a fuck if this is some business meetin’ I’m fuckin’ up. You do not touch him.” His finger shot to me. “He’s mine.”
My heart danced around in my chest, as did my stomach. Any other time I would be pissed, but since Link was Link, I didn’t care.
Link turned to me. “You’re fuckin’ a Hawks member?” He laughed. “Shit, this is epic. No wonder he stormed in here, ready to kill me. Those fuckers are possessive.”
The fight deflated out of Josh, and confusion dipped his brows. “You know Hawks?”
Sighing, I went to Josh and curled an arm around his waist. “Josh, this is Link. He’s Travis’s old business partner.”
Josh huffed. “No shit.”
Link held out his hand. “No shit. Whose son are you?”
Josh shook his hand and replied, “Stoke’s.”
Link nodded. “Met him at Travis and Vi’s wedding. Think highly of the Hawks.”
Josh grinned. “Good to hear.” He rubbed at the back of his neck. “Ah, sorry about before.”
“Nah, man, I get it. Not sure how you thought I was coming onto your man, though.”
Heat hit Josh’s cheeks. “Saw you two at the bar. My mind started overreacting.”
Link snorted. “Heard it happens a lot with you guys when it comes to your better halves.”
Josh chuckled. “Guess you could say that.” Josh glanced at me. “Not sure what business matter you guys are talkin’ about, but can you excuse us for a moment?”
Link chuckled and waved a hand. “Go for it.” It was like Link understood what Josh was talking about, but I didn’t. Not even when he dragged me out of the room and across the hall to the men’s room.
He pulled me through the door and locked it. “What’s wrong?” I asked him.
“Hands to the counter, Taro,” Josh clipped.
“W-What?” I laughed.
“Hands to the counter, now.”
“Josh—”
He crowded me, cupping my chin. His eyes held fire within them. “I didn’t like what I saw. Know it’s nothin’ now, but it’s still in my head. You two laughin’, talkin’, and when he touched you….”
My eyes widened. “Touched me?”
“Yes,” he hissed. “A caress to the arm. It might not be anythin’, but I need to fuck you to get it outta my head.”
My pulse kicked up, my cock hardening from his tone and words of claiming. “Josh,” I said softly. “It was nothing. I didn’t even notice.”
He pushed into me until my butt hit the counter and stepped into my space so our noses touched. “Hands to the counter, Taro.”
Was I really going to let him fuck me in a restaurant bathroom?
Yes.
I kissed his neck and turned in his arms. I undid my pants and pushed them down with my boxers. I heard Josh’s belt and zipper before I looked into the mirror and saw him gazing back.
“Lube?” I asked.
He lifted a tiny packet of lube in his hand before he bit the edge and tore it open. Josh applied pressure to my shoulder, and I jutted my arse out to him.
His fingers rubbed against my hole. I shook my head and said, “No foreplay. Fuck me, pet. Make me yours.”
A growl rumbled out of him. He lined his cock up and gently pushed inside of me. My mouth dropped open in a silent cry as he filled me up.
Our gaze clashed in the mirror as Josh reached around and cupped my jaw. “Who do you belong to?” He pulled out.
“You.” I whimpered as he thrust back in.
“That’s right. Mine. All fuckin’ mine.” His hand wrapped around my neck, his mouth to my shoulder, and I held on as he fucked me hard and fast. Even when he kept his mouth on me, his eyes rose to meet mine. His other hand bruised my hip, but I didn’t care. I loved every second of this carnal fucking.
Pleasure thrummed inside me. My balls drew up, and I wrapped my hand around my cock, jerking.
“Josh,” I uttered.
His tongue licked at my ear. “Yeah, baby. Come for me.”
That was all I needed to shoot my load over the front of the counter. Josh’s mouth latched onto my neck and sucked. He swelled, groaned, and filled my arse with his warm seed.
When his hands loosened, his forehead hit my back as he watched himself slowly pull out, causing a shiver to rake over my body. Josh pressed in, aligning his front to my back, and his arms wrapped around my chest. We stared at each other. My lips twitched, and he grinned like the cat that ate the canary. He ground his softening dick into my arse.
“Are you good now?” I asked, raising a brow.
Josh chuckled and kissed my neck. “Yeah, baby. Very good.” I moved to the stall to clean up, and a look came over Josh.
I shook my head, knowing what he wanted. “I can’t leave your cum inside me. It’ll leak out onto my pants.”
His jaw clenched. “Yeah, I know.”
I did what I had to and heard Josh washing up. When I stepped out of the stall, I walked over to him and hugged him tightly. “How about later you can come all over my skin? Mark me.”
His eyes heated, and he brushed my hair off my shoulder. “Like I did here?”
I glanced to the mirror and found a hickey. I melted into his arms as a thrill ran through me. “Yes, mark me up more, pet.”
He tugged my hair. Knowing what he wanted, I gave him my mouth. Breaking the kiss a few beats later, Josh asked, “Should I apologise for how I acted?”
I shook my head. “No, I don’t think Link cares.”
He pressed his forehead against mine. “You drive me crazy, Taro.”
“Same, pet.”
He straightened. “What’s the business with Link?”
I smirked. “I was going to tell you later. But since you’re here... which, by the way, why are you here?”
“The club’s down the road. Was walkin’ to my car when I saw you.”
I nodded. “Not far from home at all.”
He grinned. “No, it ain’t. Now tell me what’s goin’ on.”
“Link’s taking over the gun and drug trade. The Takahashi family will become silent partners, only taking 10 percent.”
His brows dipped. “Why? This ain’t because of me or anythin’?”
“No… well, in a way, yes.” He went to say something, but I covered his mouth with my hand. His grip on my waist tightened as he glared. I smiled. “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. I never liked how Dad brought this trade into the family. It caused nothing but trouble. This will keep you safe, but also me and my family. It’s best for everyone. Talon assured me Link would be the best to work with, so I reached out, and he’s keen to sign the agreement.”
He pulled my hand away after kissing it. “Talon knows?”
“Yes, I went to him for advice.”
Josh snorted. “Of course he’d help if it meant gettin’ the shit away from us. But are you sure, completely sure, this is what you want? What about the money it makes for the family?”
“Even without the guns and drugs, our family are billionaires with our other legal companies.”
Josh’s eyes widened. “Billionaires?”
I laughed. “Yes, pet, you’re dating a rich man.”
“You know I don’t care about any of that.”
I ran my hands up his chest. “I do. It’s what drew me more to you.”
A knock sounded on the door, and Ryo�
��s voice called, “Your dinner is getting cold, Wolf.”
“Coming,” I said. “Are you okay now?”
“Fuck yes, but I’m stayin’ for dinner.”
Warmth spread through me. “All right.” Together, we walked back into the room. Josh, of course, placed his hand on my arse on the way. Link thought it was hilarious, especially when he pointed out the hickey while Ryo rolled his eyes, but his lips twitched.
As we sat, Josh suddenly asked Link, “You gay?”
“Nah, mate. Just bi.”
Josh grunted. “Know you know this guy’s mine.” He thumbed my way while I slapped a hand to my forehead. “But Ryo’s up for grabs.”
The room quieted. I glanced to Ryo and found him blushing and glaring at the ground.
“That so?” Link said.
“Yep.”
“Thanks for the information.”
Josh gave him a chin lift, and I pulled him in close when Link went to speak to the waiter who’d just entered. “How did you know Ryo was into men?”
“Caught them eye fuckin’ each other when we came back in. Thought I’d help Ryo out. Then we’d get more time together.”
Shaking my head, I laughed and kissed his shoulder. Yes, Josh definitely made me happy, and I wanted him for the rest of my life. I would make it happen; I just didn’t know when.
All I knew was I completely loved him.
He was it. My future.
Epilogue
Ruin
Taro stood at my side at the front door while we waited for my family to arrive. They’d texted not long ago saying they were near. Only Taro couldn’t seem to stay still. He shifted from one foot to another.
“What’s goin’ on?” I asked, taking his hand in mine.
He looked at me, biting his bottom lip. “We’ve been together for four months.”
Confusion swamped me. “And?”
He grabbed the front of my tee and tugged me into him. “And I love you…. There, I said it, and I’m not taking it back.” He shook a little. “You make me happy, you idiot, and I want you here forever.” His chest rose and fell rapidly while my body reacted to his words. My heart swelled, my cock thickened, and my gut tingled in that special way only Taro could bring out.
