“You okay?” I heard Aiden’s voice come my way, followed by a warm hand gently cupping the side of my face.
I opened my eyes and saw Aiden inches from me. He was watching me closely, and my heart skipped at the sight of him. Suddenly, everything that had happened last night came rushing back to me: Aiden kissing me wildly and passionately, Aiden touching and tasting every inch of me, and Aiden fucking me.
Holy Mother, Jesus Christ! We made love last night, Aiden and me.
Heat rushed to my cheeks, and I desperately wanted to hide in embarrassment.
“Maybe I overdid it,” Aiden said. “Are you in pain?”
I felt flustered. I still couldn’t get the fact that Aiden and I had made love last night out of my mind.
“It’s…it’s not that bad,” I said, avoiding making eye contact with him.
“Maybe you should take a day off today,” he suggested. “If you can’
AidenAiden knew something like this would happen the moment he stepped through the front door of the apartment and Reo’s voice came through, “Welcome back. Haru just texted. He’s staying at Jess’ place tonight.”He’s avoiding me, was the first thing that came to Aiden’s mind. Of course, the boy would. He hadn’t expected anything less, especially after what had happened last night.Doing his best to hide his turmoil of emotions, he said, “I see.”Reo asked, “You okay?”Aiden raised a brow. His voice firm, he said, “Why wouldn’t I be?”Reo looked at him for a moment. He was about to say something but then shrugged his broad shoulders. He asked instead, “Dinner?”Aiden nodded, and Reo turned and went into the kitchen.Aiden stood there for a moment, taking in a deep breath. Then he walked into his bedroom as he loosened his necktie. The moment he was inside, his eyes instantly strayed to the bed, and just like that, his heart skipped in his chest as waves of emotions washed over him.Lo
Haru “Thanks, Jess, for letting me spend the night.” Standing there before me with a mug of coffee in her hands, Jess said, “No worries. I see you’re ready to face the day, eh?” “Yeah, I can’t go on like this. It’s just not healthy.” Jess eyed me curiously. “You mean your feelings for Aiden? Or something else?” “I mean my feelings for Aiden. I’ve been thinking last night. This one-sided love has gone on for far too long, and it has to stop. I’m going to confess my feelings to Aiden.” She nodded. “Indeed, it has. What are you going to do if he rejects you?” I didn’t miss the tremor in her voice, and I knew she was worried about me. I gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve got everything planned. If he does reject me, which is probably a ninety percent probability, I’ll move out. I was planning on doing that since the beginning of this year, anyway.” “I see. But I don’t think Aiden will let you move out.” I raised my gaze to look at her. “He’ll have to. We can’t live
Aiden Aiden knew Haru was nervous as hell, and why wouldn’t he be? Suddenly being told that they were going to make love, and then being dragged into a bedroom like this. But damn, Aiden couldn’t help himself. Haru had confessed to him that he loved him. For the longest time, he had always thought Haru’s love for him was simply that, a family kinship and not the romantic kind. Shit, but his heart was still racing while waves of euphoria were washing over his body, something he hadn’t felt before. Yes, he was elated and so fucking happy. He felt like he was on cloud nine. Without even looking to see that Haru’s face had gone beetroot red, he led the boy into the master bedroom. Once he shut the door, he pulled Haru into his arms and claimed the boy’s lips again. Haru’s lips were warm and surprisingly soft against his. He could feel the boy’s toned body, hot and eager, and when he wedged his thigh against Haru’s legs, he felt the bulge. Fuck! Haru was already getting hard from be
Haru “Oh my God! Oh my God! I can’t believe my dream came true. I just can’t believe it,” Jess shrieked loudly from the other side of the line. “My best friend is finally getting together with the man he loves.” I chuckled. “Jess, can you please just calm down?” “How the hell can I just calm down when this is the news of the century?” she snapped. “So, have you guys done it yet? The bedroom stuff.” I blushed, remembering what had happened only a few hours ago. “Yeah.” I paused and then said, “Wait! Why do I have to tell you this type of stuff?” “Of course you don’t have to tell me any more. It’ll be weird despite that I kept nagging you to.” She chuckled. “I’m so happy for you, Haru.” “Thanks, Jess,” I said. “For what?” I shrugged. “I don’t know. For always being there for me and stuff.” “That’s what a best friend is for,” she said. The door opened, and Aiden, hair wet and now wearing another pair of jeans and a T-shirt, walked in. He saw me in bed and on my cell phone and a
Haru has finally revealed his forbidden feelings to his older stepbrother Aiden, which, to his amazement, is reciprocated. Now the couple has been dating for six months, and after a grueling exam period, the two, along with their brothers, head over to Japan for a much-needed, long overdue winter vacation. Just when Haru is beginning to enjoy the trip and his blossoming relationship with Aiden, the appearance of Aiden’s old flame threatens to destroy Haru’s newfound happiness. Adding to the already unpleasant situation is the emergence of changes in two of his other stepbrothers’ behavior toward him, which confuses Haru, stirring up different sorts of emotions within him that are hard to explain. Haru My right hand was shaking like crazy by the time I was done with the essay, at the same time the exam proctor’s voice echoed across the hall. “Time’s up. Pens down, please.” I gladly loosened my grip, with the pen landing on the sheet of paper on the desk with a light thud. I groaned
Haru Done and dressed in pajamas about ten minutes later, now feeling fresh and clean, I returned to my room, only to see Isaac there. He was taking out my clothes from the drawers and leaving them on the bed. I asked, “What are you doing?” Isaac looked at me for a moment and then said, “Exam period is over, isn’t it?” I raised a brow. “Yeah. But what does that have to do with you doing that?” I pointed to my clothes on the bed. “Or are you so pumped for the trip that you decided to help me pack? But seriously, I don’t need that many clothes for the trip. We’re only going for three weeks.” Isaac laughed as he waved my reasoning aside. “That’s not it, Haru. I’m helping you move.” He grinned cheekily. “Aren’t I a great bro?” I still didn’t understand what he meant and asked, “Move?” “To Aiden’s room,” he said. “You guys are practically husband and wife now, so it’s strange for you two to sleep in separate rooms.” Heat rushed to my face, and I stammered, “It’s not strange. We’re
Aiden After closing Haru’s bedroom door behind him, Aiden went into the kitchen. He needed a drink, preferably something cold and alcoholic, to cool the sexual heat that had enthusiastically reared its head the moment his lips had touched Haru’s moments ago. He opened the fridge door and searched for a can of beer but found none. He had forgotten they had just finished the last of the batch at dinner. “Damn,” he muttered. “Are you pissed with me?” Reo said. Aiden turned to see his stepbrother standing at the door of the kitchen. He raised a brow and asked, “That you took the last beer or that you mentioned Haru is too young for marriage?” Reo looked confused for a moment and then laughed loudly. Once he calmed down, he came to sit on one of the chairs surrounding the dining table. More serious now, he said, “The latter, obviously.” He paused as he looked at Aiden. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like I don’t want Haru to tie the knot with you or anything. It’s just that…” He lapsed
Haru I hadn’t a clue why I felt so hot and stuffy, my body being squeezed like a pancake against the wall, until I opened my eyes and saw the gorgeous face of Aiden inches from mine, his arms wrapped tight around me. I simply stared, dumbfounded. When did he come into my room and climb into my bed? Did he even realize I was still pissed with him from yesterday? I shifted, since my body felt numb, but Aiden only tightened his hold on me in response. “Aiden,” I said, tapping my hand on his shoulder. “Aiden. I can’t move.” Aiden opened his eyes, and the moment he saw me, he gave me a warm smile, which made my heart skip. “Good morning, Haru.” I pushed on his broad chest as I muttered, “Don’t you ‘good morning’ me. Move. My body is numb.” “Sorry,” he said, releasing me from his tight embrace. “Your bed is small.” “It’s a single bed,” I said, stretching my arms out. “What do you expect?” I sat up and then turned to look at Aiden, who now had one arm propped on the pillow as he laz
