RAVEN

My body was shaking from the orgasm I had experienced.

And by the look on his face, we weren’t done yet.

As if my body could feel any better than it did right now.

I was already filled with euphoria. This was better than anything I had expected, and maybe, just maybe, he could actually deliver on that promise he made me earlier.

My body twitched as he kissed down the side of my neck, his lips lingering along my fluttering pulse as my chest warmed at the thought that he might continue downward.

I let out a breathy moan as he sank his teeth into my skin. He knew the exact amount of pressure to use to not mark my skin, but to make my pussy spasm around the tip of his hard cock as he slipped it back inside me.

“Ahhh … please, I can’t handle it when you do that.”

I gasped as his smoldering eyes stared back at me while he lowered his face inch by inch to my breast. His tongue flicked out and circled my nipple, and I clamped my legs around the back of his thighs again as I felt the pressure build within me once more.

“Fuck, I can’t get enough of how your body reacts to every single thing I do,” he said against my skin before his lips surrounded my nipple and sucked hard.

I cried out in pleasure as I raised my hips against his. His cock’s tip was still barely inside me, and I wanted to feel him thrusting into me. I needed him to stretch me impossibly full again. Just one more time.

“You are so cruel, teasing me like this. Fuck me again,” I whimpered as he tugged my nipple with his teeth.

“Nah, think you can ask better than that, baby.” He smirked as he brought his hand around my other boob and squeezed it, massaging my sensitive skin.

I reached a hand up around the back of his hair and tugged his head toward me, lowering his ear to my lips.

“Please fuck me. I want you deep inside me. You promised I wouldn’t forget tonight. So, make good on your words, AJ.” My voice trembled as I spoke, mainly because his fingers were now rolling my hard nipple between them, causing my head to get foggy with pleasure.

“I’m always true to my word, baby.”

With that, he shoved his cock fully inside me, and my eyes rolled back as my sensitive pussy clenched around him. My back arched higher, searching for the sweet friction he had given me earlier.

With each thrust, he brought me closer to another orgasm. Something I hadn’t experienced in such a long time. I’d almost forgotten how euphoric it felt.

I reached for his forearms and gripped them as my ankles wrapped around his lower body.

I locked eyes with him, his stare smoldering into my very soul as he fucked my body senseless.

I should probably be more concerned with the fact that I was sleeping with a man I’d just met, whose sexual history I had no knowledge of—or, heck, even that I hadn’t made him wear a condom.

But there was no chance of me becoming pregnant.

I had removed that option in secret once my marriage arrangement with Kaito had been solidified.

I could see his body begin to tense, his own release building. I felt him pull away from me, and I gripped his arms harder.

“It’s okay. I can’t have kids,” I said, giving him consent to come where he pleased.

He nodded in acknowledgment before slamming back inside me, leaning down to give himself more leverage to drive into me with another rush of vigor.

Suddenly, my mind went blank as a new wave of pleasure washed over me. I dug my nails into his skin as I came on his cock. Rocking myself back onto him with each thrust, not wanting these feelings to end.

He groaned loudly as I felt his warm cum shoot inside me. A few more firm thrusts later, and he kissed me as he slowly pulled out.

He chuckled as he leaned away. “Damn, girl. That was the best fuck I’ve had in a long time. You good?”

He stood up and held his hand out. I used it to sit up with a nod.

“Very.”

“You gonna take off while I shower, or you wanna join me?” He opened the closet door and grabbed a towel for himself, and then he reached for a second one and held it out toward me, silently asking if I wanted to take one as well.

I realized how sweaty sex had made me. If I went home looking like this, there was no way my family wouldn’t have questions. And that was the last thing I needed right now.

“If you don’t mind, I’ll shower,” I said as I took the towel from him.

He walked to the door and left. I hurriedly wrapped the towel around my body before I followed him, and we walked down the hall into the bathroom.

I half expected him to be sexual in the shower as well, but instead, he made room for me to squeeze in, and he helped wash my body. His callous hands glided over my skin, causing me to lean into his body, soaking up every single minute of this night that I could.

We got out and dried off before making our way back down to his room. Fatigue finally caught up with me. The adrenaline of the night was finally wearing off. I had planned on going back to my family home tonight, but when he hauled me over onto his lap on his futon again, my plans changed.

“Stay with me tonight, baby. You can get outta here in the morning,” he said as he rubbed his hands up and down my thighs.

“I need to be out of here before the sun is up tomorrow,” I said as I moved off him and into the space between him and the wall.

He lay down next to me and pulled me close to his body. I placed my head against his chest and felt my limbs grow heavy as sleep overtook me.

I woke up next to him, and for one moment, as I lay there, still in a sleepy haze, I felt calm and at peace.

Protected even. Then reality came crashing down when I heard my phone vibrate.

I searched around for it, finding it in my jacket pocket, and my heart plummeted when I saw multiple missed messages from Kaito.

I quickly got out of bed and rustled around for my clothes that had been strewn around the area.

I was almost fully dressed when I heard him move, and I glanced back to see him sitting up, naked, with the covers barely covering his lower half, watching me.

He had a devilish smirk on his face as he ran his hand through his hair.

“Do you have to leave so soon, baby? You’re gonna make me think you didn’t enjoy every minute of last night,” he said as he reached over and grabbed his pants, tugging them on as he stood up.

“Not at all, but I do need to get out of here before people become worried,” I said as I tugged my coat on, checking to make sure I had my wallet and keys as well when I slid my phone back into the pocket.

He nodded and went into the kitchen. Then he wrote something on a piece of paper before he walked back over to me.

His joggers hung low on his hips, and I almost regretted having to leave.

But it would be better if I wasn’t missing for more than a few hours, especially because I wasn’t sure how furious Kaito would be from his men being beaten.

“Here, hit me up anytime,” he said as he reached down and put the piece of paper in my hand.

I glanced down at it. His number. I glanced up at him as he slid his hand under my chin and gripped it gently.

His lips covered mine once more. I kissed him back, wrapping my fingers in his hair one final time, my body heating up from the passion I felt for this man.

Then I pushed myself back. I had to leave.

“Thank you. Try not to fight any more yakuza in the future, all right?” I turned and twisted the knob, opening the door.

“No promises,” he replied with a smirk.

“ Sayonara ,” I said as I stepped out and closed the door behind me. Leaving behind the first person to make me feel something besides fear or duty in my life.

I walked down the stairs. The shop was no longer full of only cars.

There were a few men in the bays across the way.

They seemed surprised when they saw me walk down the stairs, and I rushed to leave the building before they had a chance to get a good look at me; Kaito could have connections in a place like this.

I made my way off the docks and back up to the bus stop we’d gotten off at the night before, but I was disappointed to see I’d recently missed the stop and another wouldn’t be arriving for over an hour.

I knew I could call my sister, and she would come, same as if I asked for Kaito to send a car.

But I didn’t want either of them to wonder why I was in an area like this.

I called a cab and had it drive me to my family estate in the city before I opened my phone and sent a text to him.

Raven

I’m sorry I haven’t responded. My phone died, and I fell asleep. I need you to send a car to pick me up from my family’s home.

His response was almost immediate.

Kaito

We have much to discuss. A car will be there within the hour. Be ready to leave immediately.

I swallowed, my mouth feeling dry. I knew he would be furious, but what he would do as punishment would remain to be seen until I was at his home.

I quickly walked up the steps into the grounds of my family home. It was one of the few traditional-met-modern estates in this particular area. We had modernized the home to a good extent, but the training facility remained the two-hundred-year-old dojo that it always was.

I made my way into the house and was greeted by the surprised faces of my two sisters, who were sitting down for breakfast. I met Sydney’s stare first.

Sydney was the middle child, and once I was married to Kaito, she would be in charge of the estate and the rest of our youngest sister’s upbringing.

“Raven? What are you doing here?” Sydney asked as our youngest sister, Regan, jumped up from the table and ran over to me, throwing her hands around my waist and giving me a tight hug.

“I missed you!” she said joyfully.

I laughed as I hugged her back, and we walked over to the table.
