I don’t think we have any albums like this at the compound. We didn’t take many pictures when I was a child. Just a few for special events. But that was it, and they were formal, posed, fake. They were what my father wanted the world to see. What my mother prayed was how the world saw our family. The perfect happy family instead of a power-mad father, a weak-willed mother, and a murderous daughter.
Looking at Hibiki’s family photos stirred something in me. I envied him. I envied what they had. How happy they looked. They had what I could never have. It should piss me off. And okay, it did at the beginning. I was pissed at my parents for not letting me have a life like this. I was pissed at Hibiki and his parents for having such a happy life.
But the anger faded, and I just took joy in looking at all the images, of getting this glim
New chapters are posted Monday-Saturday.
I won’t say it aloud because she’d probably kick my ass. But I could easily get used to coming home from work to her. To her smile. To her teasing manner. And most certainly to her incredible body. Sex after a long day at work is one hell of a fun way to unwind.Too bad it couldn’t last. I’d have happily laid here with Yūri in my arms. But reality was going to come crashing in whether we wanted it to or not. And I know we can’t talk about her father and that stuff if my parents are here. So it was on me to burst our bubble.I frowned as she told me Rokurō, her father’s second in command and her friend’s father, is who her father wants her to marry. I remember seeing the man in the cell. The thought of him ever touching Yūri churned my stomach. “That shriveled nut sack?” I asked. Yūri fell back on
I don’t like the idea that someone else is taking the wrap for what I did as Kitsune. But I don’t think there’s much I can do about it. She did pose as Kitsune and has killed two people using the name. I also can’t believe Hibiki was dumb enough to tell my father we’ve hooked up. What an idiot.I know I have to leave. Mayu and Hachiro do too. If we don’t, my father will eventually get out and have us killed. I don’t want to leave, though. Whatever this is between Hibiki and me, I want to see where it goes. And I know I can’t do that if I leave. Trevor and Sebastian will be sad if I leave, but they’ll be fine. And I’ll be fine ending things with them too.Which begs the question, what the fuck makes Hibiki so different? I can’t really put my finger on it. Maybe it’s because he knows wh
Damn it, Hachiro. He just had to show up and ruin the moment. Now I’ll never get to tell her how I’ve been feeling. She's going to be fleeing the state, and I’m fucked. Then again, damned if I do and damned if I don’t. If I told her that I was developing feelings for her. That I might even be in love with her, I could have lost her anyway. Maybe it’s for the best that this ended without my confession.I went home to my apartment and slumped onto my futon. I don’t even have the energy to get up and grab a beer. I just feel hollow. And I’ve been feeling that way since I dropped her off. I miss her smile. I miss that mischievous look in her eyes. I wish she was here with me.I was basically a zombie for the next three days. Things were hectic still at work. The lower-level guys from the raid were getting stuck with e
Hot damn, was that good. I really don’t want that to be goodbye sex. I blinked, lazily raising my head at his words. “Hmm?” I furrowed my brow. “We were both in such a hurry and thinking with lower brains we didn’t put a condom on.” Hibiki reiterated. Oh, fuck!I suddenly sat up, causing us both to groan because while he’s getting soft, he’s still in me. I shifted off him, another duet of groans filled the room. I was tempted to just slip back down on him and see if I could entice him to a second round.No condom! That's right. That's why I’m even getting off him. I frowned, glancing down and yep, there’s no condom on his dick. And double yep, there’s some cum leaking onto my thigh. “Crap.” I groaned, hitting my palm against my forehead.&
***The Present***I got to be the lucky one to read the latest email from Yūri and Hibiki. Forrest and Darius are at classes, and Riko’s at work. I was home going over plans making sure I had everything for my bakery opening. It’s a lot to take on, but it’s going to be worth it.Baking is what makes me happy. And honestly, before Riko, it was the only thing that did. Since her baking has become second in what makes me happiest. Every day I get to be with Riko, I’m happy. She’s the light of my world. Of my brothers too. We love her, and while our relationship isn’t ‘normal,’ we all make it work, and we want to make this forever.I was so engrossed in reading the email I’d forgotten all about my test batch of cooki
****1972****There is no doubt that I just put my foot so far into my mouth my toes are poking out my ass. Or at least that is what it feels like. I just threw out the most insane idea. I asked her to marry me! She’s going to say no. I mean, of course, she’ll say no. I’m an idiot for even asking.And the longer she’s silent, the more nervous I get. I’m sweating bullets here. I haven’t been this nervous… well, ever. This had officially surpassed when I was waiting to know if I had passed my final exams at the police academy. Becoming a cop had been my dream for so long. And now, I'm willing to throw it away for a new dream of being with her.“Hibiki…” she sighed, looking at me with those unreadable eyes. I held my breath. Preparing for the inevitable
It was hilarious to see the looks on Mayu and Hachiro’s faces when we told them why we were going to Hibiki’s parents. Springing a wedding on them is probably the last thing they expected from me. I’m sure they both have their doubts about how serious this is. However, one person that had no doubts was Riko Konishi.I barely managed to say goodbye to Hibiki as she tugged Mayu and me away. This woman has been a whirlwind of happiness from the moment we told her we were here to get married. “I can’t believe he proposed! Hibiki isn’t the spur-of-the-moment type. My boy likes to have a plan of action.” Riko gushed.“Yeah, I was more than a little surprised. I mean, who confesses that they love someone and want to get married the day the other person is supposed to leave.” I sighed. But Loved that Hib
I can’t believe it! We got married!! Okay, so it’s not technically legal since we would have needed a marriage license. But we can do that later. I’m amazed my dad had the rings. It’s like my parents have been awaiting the moment I would want the family rings. I was happy when my great-grandmother’s ring easily slid onto Yūri’s finger. She is now the fourth woman to wear this ring.And I know it makes my mom happy to finally have a daughter-in-law who can wear it. Mom stopped wearing it and got a basic band when I was five because her fingers had outgrown the ring. And I don’t want to jinx us as I glanced at Yūri’s stomach while we headed for my apartment, but maybe these rings will find their way to a fifth generation.“Turn left here.” Yūri suddenly ordered, yanking at the wheel. “J
I don’t know who was more nervous as the three of us climbed into a cab to go to our hotel. I know it wasn’t me. I was as cool as a cucumber. I don’t mind my husband having sex with another woman. I certainly don’t mind it being Ivy, either. I wanted to ask some questions, but I knew it would worsen to ask questions in the cab.So I waited till we reached our suite. Ivy was leaning against the wall nervously, wringing her hands with her eyes down as if her black mary janes were the most fascinating thing on earth. Hibiki looked stiff and not ready to blow this girl’s mind kind of stiff. I sighed and sat on the bed, leaning back on my palms. “Okay, you two need to seriously relax. Ivy, have you changed your mind?” I asked her first.She's only grown into her beauty over the
**The Present***“So that’s it?” Forrest frowned as we sat in their living room. I chuckled. “Well, obviously, that’s not all there is. That is just how things ended with Takashi.” I shrugged. “Okay, but well, what happened after that?” Riko asked. The subject of our story was the only thing that seemed to draw her attention away from the shiny rock on her left ring finger.“Well, what do you want to know?” Yūri asked, cocking her head. We don’t mind talking about our lives, but we’d really rather talk about their future. About their plans. We knew the boys were going to propose. And after arriving yesterday for the engagement party, we got to hear all about the romantic proposal at the trellis where they had their first Christmas date and the
“LET ME OUT OF HERE! YURI IS GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS!” A very distinct and familiar voice was shouting. “Shut up Bitch!” a man banged his fist on a door. “Who’s that?” Ivy whispered. “Mayu. Yūri’s very pregnant best friend.” I whispered back. “Stay here.” I pointed to the spot she stood before going around the corner, firing three shots. Two headshots and the third man got hit in the shoulder. “Holy shit.” Ivy exclaimed. The guard I only winged fired a shot missing me by a couple of inches, hitting the wall instead. “Dude, I’m like six feet away, and you missed. Pathetic.” I scoffed and shot him in the chest. Let him die slowly. I shoved him out of the way from where he’d fallen to get the door. “Mayu! It's Hibiki! Stand back!” I shouted before busting off the door handle.
I’d been hoping maybe during these last six months, Takashi was going to give up. That he’d leave us alone knowing he’s dead if Yūri sees him. When we came back to the states, I was hoping maybe we could move forward. Get Yūri beyond her need for vengeance.But no. The mother fucker had to get Ivy and Violet involved. Yes, I’m pissed he also went after Mayu and Hachiro. They’d been living peacefully in Canada, and last we heard from them, Mayu was pregnant. So he is not only holding children hostage but a pregnant woman as well. New fucking low.Now I just want him dead. I don’t care how it happens. I don’t care if it’s me or Yūri who does it. But he’s going to die. And depending on how hurt the girls will depend on how badly he gets beaten up before finally dying. He doesn’t deserve a quic
Getting things in place at the warehouse took longer than I anticipated. We made sure there were plenty of traps. I doubt my father would come alone to face me. I wanted to make sure we kept my number of opponents limited. I wanted the old bastard. Be easier to kill him without anyone getting in the way.I had changed into my Kitsune black and red tight leather outfit, my double edge katana at my hip. “You’re still sure about this.” Hibiki asked. I smiled and pulled him into my by his shirt, kissing him hard.“Yes. I will end this tonight. I can control Kitsune’s blood lust. She’ll be satisfied with his death.” I assured, letting him go. “Now they're here, so buckle up.” I winked, pulling my Kitsune mask down at the sound of cars on the gravel outside. He sighed and nodded, his lips pressed into a thin
“I’ve been thinking...” Yūri sighed, tracing random designs into my chest as we lay snuggled in bed. “That sounds dangerous yet intriguing. What’s on your mind?” I smiled. “I want to visit Ivy and Violet. But to do that, we need to put a stop to my dad.” she sighed, shifting to straddle me.I’m not sure if this is the sort of conversation we should have with her sinfully tempting body on top of me. Yūri laughed and wiggled her round ass against my cock, making me groan. It’s really hard, yes, that’s an erection joke, to focus when my eyes can’t look away from her perfect tits.“Focus. Talk now. Sex later.” Yūri wagged a finger at me. “Easier said than done. You’re naked, straddling me with my dick nestled between your ass cheeks. Any idea how tempted I am to ba
**The Present***“Those mother fuckers!” Forrest exclaimed as Hibiki finished telling them about what happened in the hospital in Tulsa. “Pretty on par with their MO.” Elijah shrugged. “But it’s just crazy. Who does that? I mean, yes, I know, obviously my great grandfather. But still. Who but some comic book villain offers to pay someone off to leave someone and threatens their family if they don’t.” Riko sighed.“Sweetheart, your dad lied to you, stole your phone, broke up with us via text, kept everyone away from you till it all blew up in his face.” Darius reminded her. Riko sighed. “Yes, I know. And that was bullshit.” she frowned, folding her arms. “Also not totally unheard of. Did
***The Present***We’ve been so busy since Riko, and the boys arrived going to various events for Golden week that we haven’t had a chance to sit down and continue the story. But today, we will be able to. Today they are at our place, and I’m preparing a traditional tea ceremony just like my mother taught me.Right after they arrived, Yūri took Riko to go change into a traditional outfit. A particular outfit that she wanted to see if the boys would recognize. I had taken the boys to change as well. Forrest seemed the most hyper about it all.“Do you need some Ritalin or something? You’re really jittery. How much coffee have you had, Forrest?” I eyed him. “One cup. I’m just hyped. I have not gotten to participate in a tea ceremony before. And given your mother ran a tea
****The Present****Yūri has been all a-twitter since she woke up today. I know she's excited to see our granddaughter and her boyfriends. Especially as the boys have us curious because they texted us saying they wanted to talk but without Riko around. One of their most significant rules that makes their polyamorous relationship work is they don’t keep secrets.I can only think of one thing they’d want to talk to us about and keep as a secret. And it certainly isn’t for Riko's birthday that we’ll be celebrating during their visit. “Do you think they plan to propose? Will they do it here? During their visit?” Yūri asked as she bounced slightly in place as we waited at the airport.“I don’t know if they’d do it during this visit. Though if the boys do I&rsquo
