OBI

“ I want you to make me scream.”

My hand grasped the glass so tightly I thought it might shatter.

It was taking every thread of control in my body to remain in this chair.

Yes, Ryuji and I had shared lovers in the past. It had always been an act of pure carnal release. We had been young and dumb. We thought we would die at any moment, so I let him convince me to enjoy pleasures as they came.

But the stronger we grew, the more I realized I could not be beholden to those baser desires. We hadn’t indulged in anything together in years. I had to remain in control. I had to keep a level head.

If I lost myself to them…

When I lacked control, bad things happened. If I did not remain on task, my plans always failed. If my plans failed, my family would be harmed.

I couldn’t risk it.

Ryu’s fingers trailed through her slick heat. I could see it glistening. I desired Leona so strongly, but I could not act on it. I could only watch. That would have to be enough.

Ryu was acting differently as well. This wasn’t a quick fuck for him. He was enjoying himself far too much. He probably didn’t even realize that this was different.

He took care of her. He watched her, rapt, for her every moan, every move. He adjusted.

Ryuji was a selfish person. He had been for as long as I’d known him.

This was not selfish.

He groaned, dragging his nose down her chest. Her body curled around his. My cock already strained against my pants. Her skin glinted pink in the soft light of the room. It was beautiful. She was beautiful.

When she asked earlier if I wanted her, I almost gave in. But if I gave in, I would lose myself in her.

I would only hurt her.

I downed the rest of my drink.

The darkness from the night crept through the windows. This suite felt like our own little bubble. Everything outside couldn’t get in. Suddenly, I regretted my decision to arrange for two suites.

Ryu looked my way, eyes dark, and filled with lust. He tempted me. I knew what he was doing. I could get up right now, and leave them to it. That would be the smarter decision. The decision that kept my focus in the right place and kept our plans on track.

But I couldn’t walk away. My feet refused to take even a step away from them.

They needed more room. More room to lay her out, draw those delicious moans from her lips, make her shudder around his fingers again. The couch didn’t do her justice.

I caught Ryuji’s glance, my eyes flicking to his room. A silent command.

An admission.

He grinned and gathered her up in his arms. Ryuji wanted to break my control.

Tonight, he might accomplish that.
