Page 83 of Only Fools Rush

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.

LEONA

Ryuji stood from the couch, grabbing my arm, and pulling me up against him. I giggled as his hands slid underneath my thighs and he picked me up.

“Where are we going?”

“My bedroom.” He carried me through the suite until he kicked open the door to his room.

His room was huge. A large bed with a white comfy bedspread and sheets sat in the center of the room. Pillows overflowed on it, similar to the bed back in my suite. A large TV hung on the wall, with a desk beside it. A pair of chairs sat in the corner, surrounding a cute coffee table right in front of the large windows. The attached en suite bathroom looked massive, even as Ryu carried me past its entrance.

My room wasn’t any less lavish because, of course, Obi booked something of high quality, but I would have loved to stay here, too. With them.

He plopped me down on the bed. “Scoot up. Stretch your arms to get them loose.”

Stretch my arms?
