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
New chapters are posted Monday-Saturday.
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 like this. I don’t fucking like it. Hibiki was taking risks he shouldn’t. I know I can’t really question his faith in this Rickie guy. But I don’t know the fucker. So I don’t trust him as far as I could throw him. Then again, outside of Hibiki, I don’t trust any cops. They are too easily bought. And so help me if this Rickie guy betrays Hibiki. My blade will taste his blood.“Yūri, could you please stop pacing.” Mayu sighed. I narrowed my eyes at her. “No. I cannot stop pacing. Until Hibiki knocks at that door, and I know his cop pal didn’t screw him over, I will keep pacing. Because right now, it’s either I pace, or I grab my sword and go out there and cut my way through every clan member watching Hibiki’s place.” I huff, not once stopping my pacing as I spoke.“J
I get that Yūri isn’t used to not being in control and apparently having someone she cares about. But she’s a little over the top. Not that I will ever complain about getting kissed like that when I walk in the door. And while I get where she’s coming from. She doesn’t trust the police, given how she was raised, but Rickie won’t betray me.She had been so tense when we started out. I worried she’d not relax or rest even as we put San Francisco in the review. I’m not sure how much traveling she’s done since moving here. I’ve only traveled a little, like to the grand canyon, and once when I was a kid, we went to New York City. It’s probably strange, but if I ignore that we are on the run from a yakuza, I’m looking forward to seeing this country… hell, the world with her at my side.I smiled
Hibiki is such a big baby. Getting all scared because I drive fast. And for all his blustering, we were barely ten miles down the road, and he was snoring. Guess that means he trusts me. Or he was exhausted. I’ll assume the latter because the former sounds too hopeful. I mean, I wouldn’t trust someone who drives like me to drive my car. Ironic, I know.The rest of the drive to Vegas was uneventful. Not a lot of cars on the road at this hour. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t watching the few cars we did cross paths with. I can’t say for sure how far my father’s reach is. I know he has contacts across the country and around the world. He could easily have put the word out that I’m wanted.I wouldn’t put it past the old bastard to put a hit out on me. That made me wonder how much my head was worth? Was I wanted dead
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
