KK sat next to Leo in the back of the car, watching him carefully. KK had been in this position with a broken hand but he barely remembered the pain, it happened so long ago. His eyes scanned over the man next to him.
Everything about him exuded power, demanding respect without even trying. He had been hired to help find the people plotting against him, but KK guessed there may be more happening that he hadn't been told yet.
Leo took deep breathes trying to control the pain. He perdicted he had broken the top of his hand and a few fingers. He was so angry about the project. A multi billion dollar investment had been stolen under his nose and would be a part of trying to take him down. He wasn't sure how it would happen but he would be damned if he let them get away with it.
Leo closed his eyes, the pain causing him to feel dizzy and nauseous. He wavered, beginning to loose consciousness. KK saw the instant change and caught him as he fell sideways in the car.
"He has passed out."
Carter looked up in the rear view mirror, concerned. He pushed his foot down on the gas, the car speeding up, swerving through the moderate traffic.
Many people would not be able to resist the pain but KK wasn't surprised Leo had lasted so long. KK held Leo, carefully cradling his arm so it didn't get jarred. He could feel Leo's pulse under his palm, the beating slow and rhythmic.
KK tried resisting the urge to look closely at Leo's face. He knew the man was extremely handsome but he was shocked at just how beautiful a man could be. He thought about the color of Leo's eyes under the long-lashed closed eyelids.
He took a deep, stuttering breath and looked away, the scent of Leo's cologne invading his senses, making his heart beat just a little faster. He smelled good, like POLO and leather. He was confused by these sensations, thinking to himself, "It's just because he's handsome; I'm not gay."
His subconcious wanted to argue that fact but Carter pulled into the ER entrance. Carter ran inside, grabbing a wheelchair then helped KK get Leo in the seat. They wheeled the still unconsious man inside.
Mage sat staring at her face in the mirror. Her father had smacked her so hard, she had a slightly black eye and her cheek was a swollen. Her father was doing this for her, she thought that anyway, but she was a bit depressed that Leo wasn't included in the deal. Money would suffice for the most part but recently she had began to see Leo in a different light. She thought maybe she was falling in lovewith him.
Leo lay in the VIP suite. His hand required surgery but had to wait till morning. Carter was out in the hall rearranging his schedule.
KK sat beside Leo. He felt so bad for him, the normally strong man before him, suddenly seemed so small and delicate.
Leo turned his head, looking at KK. He had been given pain medicine so he was slightly loopy at the moment. He smirked watching KK straighten the strings on his hoodie.
The younger man was cute. Because of the drugs, Leo couldn't hold in his thoughts. "You look beautiful. Is your hair soft? It looks soft."
KK smiled, nodding, knowing Leo was high. "Yes, it's very soft. I take good care of myself."
Leo nodded, his head bobbing. "Hmm, you do. I like the way you smell. It's a sexy scent, can I sniff you?"
KK tilted his head at Leo. "You are injured and high. Are you sure you need to sniff my hair right now?"
Leo pouted, nodding his head, the reaction adorable but sexy at the same time. "Yes, now. I need to smell you."
KK chuckled, obliging by standing and leaning down to Leo's face. Leo lifted his good hand, placing it on KK's neck. His thumb massaged gently as he closed his eyes and took a deep breathe in.
He moaned, inhaling the clean scent of KK's hair. The low moan, made KK close his eyesin response, his subconcious brain laughing at the reaction, "Why did he enjoy that sound so much. Are you sure you're not..."
Leo rubbed his nose in KK's hair, then using his hand, pulled KK closer. KK had to lay his hand on Leo's chest to keep from falling on top of him.
Another moan escaped Leo's lips. He lifted KK's chin and looked over his face, a few inches from his own.
"So sexy." Leo lifted his head off the pillow and kissed KK's lips.
KK sucked in a breath. He pulled back quickly staring at Leo who had instantly fallen asleep from the drugs. As Leo's hand fell from KK's neck landing on the bed, a soft snore escaped his still puckered lips.
KK moved away from the bed, his fingers sliding across the now sensative skin of his lips, "What the hell just happened?"
KK assumed it was all the effect of the drugs and Leo didn't know what he was doing. He probably wouldn't even remember when he woke up. But there was something that didn't sit right with KK. He enjoyed the feel of the warm lips a bit too much. He sighed, shook his head to clear the memory and turned to the window.
Carter entered the room after completing his work and KK bid his farewell. "I will come in a few days to check on him and discuss with you what is happening in the investigation."
Carter nodded and sat down on the couch. He glanced at Leo then waved as KK walked out the door, his fingers absently touching his lips.
Carter sat in the VIP room while Leo is wheeled back to surgery. His hand was badly damaged and needed a few screws and plates. There would be a lot of recovery and rehab for this momentary temper tantrum of his. Carter was trying to find evidence of the theft of property by Mr. Shoten and what, if anything, he was doing with the prototype. Thankfully, Leo had a few people he could really trust and with KK's help, the process was going smoothly so far. Together, they had precured a copy of the signature-signed and received receipt and an affidavit from the prototype company, and the delivery person, stating that it was indeed shipped and signed for by Mr. Shoten. KK even went as far as breaking his own rule, of not doing anything illegal, and hacked footage from CCV cameras showing the prototype delivery. KK had been up all night working to find evidence after Carter called him. Leo hadn't given him the news and he had to find out what caused the inciting inc
KK did a last check of the hall before he closed the door. He hoped the security guard would keep the man from entering. As he turned around, Carter sat on the couch and Leo was staring at him, his eyebrows lifted. KK turned and smiled. "Hi, I am back. How are you feeling?" Leo stared at him. The look made KK turn to Carter for answers. "He's drugged." KK started laughing as he walked across the room. Leo followed him with his eyes, his head following a second later, the action making him look like he had a bad internet connection. ( loading.....) Carter laughed as well. "Yea, he has no clue right now. The doctor said there was some nerve damage so, the pain would be bad. I told them to keep him animated." KK sat down next to Carter and handed him the photo he made of the man following him. "Apparently, I have garnered some attention. Shoten also has armed guards following him. I can't figure out what he's up to though."
Carter drove towards the company. The black car had pulled out when he left the hospital and was currently following him. He dialed Flynn. "Carter, twice in one day." "Flynn, I have a problem." Flynn sat up in the seat, he was riding in, and paid close attention. "Carter, what's wrong? Details...I am still 10 minutes away." Carter switched lanes but the car continued to stay behind him. "He's following me. I can't let them get the evidence I have." "Tell me where you are right now. " He motioned for his driver to speed up. "I can meet you on the road. Carter, tell me... you're scaring me." "Flynn, I am in Leo's black Mercedes. The car behind me is a black Audi, tag #36FH713. The man driving has on a black hat and shades. I can't shake him in traffic. I am heading towards the company but..." Carter's voice cuts off and tires screech. Flynn grows extremely concerned and begins shouting into the pho
Leo sat up in the bed while KK attempted to feed him. The morphine drip had been ceased after Leo climbed out of bed and ran down the hall, looking for KK who had gone to the bathroom. Leo didn't handle the morphine well and the Dr. decided to switch to a less powerful drug. So angry Leo was back and refusing to eat the hospital food. "Leo, you can't go home till you take a crap. You have to eat something for that to happen." Leo snarled as KK lifted the spoon to his mouth again. "You eat it, I'll wait for Carter." KK sighed and gave up, sliding backwards in his chair. "Whatever." The door opened and a tall, athletic man stepped inside. KK instantly was on guard but then he remembered Carter had told him some one was coming. "And you are?" The man walked over, bowing his head. "Carter should have told you I was coming. I am Flynn Cottrell." KK extended his hand and Flynn shook it. Leo watched the
A/N~ *coughs* Prepare yourself..;) R19+Leo stepped into his house, taking a deep breath. KK followed along with Carter and Flynn. Helping Leo to the couch, KK turned to Flynn."You said you wanted to talk to me?"Flynn nodded, sitting on a stool at the bar. While Carter took care of his boss, seeing to his needs, KK joined Flynn at the bar. Leo followed his crush with his eyes, even while Carter was trying to help him take his coat off.Standing with their backs to Leo, they discuss something in private. Leo glared because he couldn't hear the conversation. Seeing KK smile at Flynn twists his gut in a knot and he started to get up.Carter pushed him gently back down on the couch. "No. Stay here."Leo shifted his glare on Carter, groaning as his hand throbbed. Carter grabbed a bottle, pouring a pill into his hand, and holding it out to Leo. Leo frowned but took it.Flynn hands a business card to KK."I'm going to give you some quick training so that you can be prepared if something
KK followed Flynn into the gym as Carter struggled to get Leo from the car. The arm sling kept Leo from being able to move around quickly and thus chaos usually ensued. "Leo, stop. You're tangled in the seatbelt." Leo stood still while Carter untangled him and then dashes after KK, who is already inside the gym. Carter took a deep sigh, shaking his head. He had never seen his boss so whipped. He chuckled, closing the car door and following the threesome inside. Flynn handed KK a pair of gloves, leading him into the ring. Leo stood close by, nervous for KK. He didn't want to see that face bruised, he liked his face the way it was. The only other person Leo had ever been so protective over was Carter. 6 years ago, Leo had been out with clients near the local college. He walked around a corner and saw a gang of kids attempting to rape another boy. Leo grew furious and launched an attack on the gang members. He wound up with a buste
Leo walked outside, into the sun. He was prepared to do almost anything to find out what Mage and her father are up to.He saw her pull up, and motioned for her switch cars. Carter had planted a bug in his car, so that was the one she would drive.Mage got out of the car, walking around towards Leo. She wore an almost sheer beige skirt with a silk white blouse. It flowed and moved with her lithe body, making her look like a sleek animal on the prowl. Leo sized her up as she got near, he was already regretting this.Leo lifted his hand towards her, pulling her towards him as she slid her paw into his. She giggled, bouncing off his hard chest. Her free hand caressed his shoulder, her dark eyes searching his face for answers."Leo, have you missed me that much?"He smirked. leading her to the car, opening the driver's door and allowing her to slip inside. He closed the door and looked to the windows of the company.There was a small crowd gathered admiring the couple. The company would b
Leo scrunched Mage's skirt up, his fingers brushing her tanned bare skin. She gasps at the sensation, wrapping her hands around the steering wheel hard. "Leo, It's dangerous to tease me while I am driving." He smirked, pulling her skirt back down. "Maybe later then. You drive, I will do a little work." She smiled at him and together they drove in silence. The tension between the two extremely volatile. Back at Leo's house, KK growled vocally, stabbing the pencil into a pillow on the couch. He thought for sure this would get dangerous for Leo and wished he would play it a bit safer. He grumbled not having expected to hear what he had. KK saved a backup and continued to listen, whether or not he wanted to. At Carter's apartment, Flynn reached over Carter to grab a pile of photos. He looked at them carefully. Some of them were strangely shot. He tilted his head curiously and pulled out the photo of KK shaking
The sexual tension in the room was evident to the two men entering. They looked at each other , smirking as they walked farther into the room. Leo stepped back from the bed, his face turning a strange shade of pink.Carter was intrigued at this change in his boss. Leo's volatile temper made him hard to get along with. He didn't have many friends and always tried to make people fear him. It was Leo's way of maintaining control when people were trying to ruin his life.Kaden looked up at Flynn and Carter as they walked in. He immedietely noticed they were holding hands and smiled inwardly. He was really happy for them. He glanced at Leo, chewing on the inside of his lip. Could he be in love?Flynn looked serious as he sat down on a couch across the room. Carter shifted to KK's side, pulling his blanket up; his motherly side was showing. He checked, making sure the injured man was comfy, then went to sit down by his lover. They had serious things to discuss with Leo and KK.Leo arched a
Mr. Shoten sat in a room surrounded by members of the Board of Directors. They were there to discuss the Rapture project and it's implimentation. A secretary wandered into the room and stood beside the older man. She leaned down, whispering in his ear.A smile as wide as the Grand Canyon spread across his face as he nodded and looked to the BOD members. He stood, straightening his suit, puffing out his chest like a proud peacock."We have good news. Mr. Shin will be taking a break from work for the unforseable future. I wonder what could be so important that he would abandon his own company without anyone in charge."The men in the room began to chuckle, the visions of extra money in their pockets making them extremely excited. Mr. Shoten smirked evily as he glanced to a few key members of the BOD and winked. His plotting had gone his way for once.The room continued talking about the news for a while behind closed doors.Mage has no clue what has happened between her father and Leo.
At the hospital, Leo sat next to KK in the ICU. He looked at the tubes and machinery hooked up to the private detective. He thrust his head in his hands in anguish. He began talking but KK wasn't awake to hear him. "Kaden, why did you leave the house? You were safe there. I'm sorry you had to hear all the things I said to Mage. I didn't mean a word of it..." He sighed heavily, reaching for the younger man's hand. Caressing the back with his thumb, he continued. "Wake up, will ya? I need to talk to you. I..." He choked back the lump in his throat and wiped a tear as it slipped down his worried, exhausted face. "I need you to get better. I need..." The door opened and a doctor entered. Leo stood waiting for the results and condition of his beloved. His eyes wide, the doctor could see the pain on his face. He smiled reassuredly as he walked towards the patient. "I heard from the nurse, this is your boyfriend?" Leo nodded, looking at the still body of Kaden. The doctor smiled eve
A/N ;P (I wonder what this note could mean....this chapter will be a bit 'longer' than usual) >;P Flynn and Carter arrived at KK's PI office and noticed the door wide open. Pushing Carter behind him, Flynn pulled a pistol from under his shirt and aimed it towards the entrance of the room. Carter looked behind them, his hand holding the tail of Flynn's shirt. He wasn't cut out for this crap and what was happening terrified him. If it wasn't for Flynn, he would be cowering in a corner someplace. Flynn tapped the door open with his foot, stepping inside cautiously. He surveyed the room, taking note of the open window and the scattered files and papers on the floor. Seeing the room empty of people, he turned and flipped the light on. Carter closed the door behind them and stepped farther into the room. Carter sighed and started gathering the papers and files on the floor. He saw the phone smashed on the floor and had a momentary thought. 'Didn't the nurse give Leo a phone?' He look
Leo ran into the hospital and headed to the emergency room. Teams of doctors and nurses were dashing around. Apparently, KK wasn't the only one having a bad day. Leo darted around, searching for the bed Kaden was in. He began to panic when he couldn't find him. He ran up two flights of stairs to the inpatient floor and spotted Flynn and Carter sitting together on a bench near the operating arena. Carter noticed Leo first and jumped up to stop him from barging into the OR. Flynn made himself a barricade as well. "Leo, slow down." Leo stopped, staring at the closed doors and the sign lit up red above. A tear formed in his eye and he slowly looked to the two men standing next to him. He noticed the look of worry on their faces and the tears began to slip down his tired face. Carter couldn't take it. His boss was tough, not one to cry...ever. He wrapped his arms around his boss without thinking and held him as the sobs increased. He swallowed back his own tears, holding onto the no-
The upside-down Audi smashed against the pavement in front of an oncoming garbage truck. KK turned his head, looking across the passenger seat, in time to see the smoke from the brakes of the truck as it attempted to stop before striking him. He braced for impact, not feeling the injuries he had already suffered. The truck managed to stop enough, barely tapping the side of the crushed Audi and spinning it around in the center of the roadway. KK vomited from the dizzying sensation and the pain he was beginning to feel. As he hung upside down in the car, it came to a stop on its roof. He chuckled to himself as the first thing he thought of was Leo. It was a shame he would never get to see him again. He thought of Leo's scent and closed his eyes as the pain began to overtake his thoughts of the man he could have fallen in love with. Hot liquid drifted down into his face from his torso. He felt dizzy still, maybe it was because he was hanging upside d
Sitting in the back seat, Leo started thinking about Kaden. His thoughts drifted to the shower and the faces KK made while pleasuring himself. He couldn't wait for everything to calm down so he could spend time with the private detective. He smiled to himself, ran his hand down his rising member trying to calm it down. Closing his eyes, he drifted to sleep thinking of the man he had fallen completely for. KK drove around in a few circles to ensure the car was actually following him. So far, they kept their distance, but it was obvious they were stalking him. Arriving at his office, he raced upstairs, locking the door behind him. Taking some paper, he painted the image of the car with his mind. Better safe than sorry, if anything happened to him, there would be a record. The image of the car, license plate, and driver formed across the paper. Flipping it over, he wrote the time and date and what was happening. He laid the photo in an envelope with Flynn's name on it. Walking aroun
KK slipped the headphones off of his ears and walked out the front door. Everything, he heard tonight, would put Shoten, and possibly Mage, in jail for a long time. He knew Leo wanted to end this battle and continue on with his project.This project was very important to Leo. The Rapture was a computer system that would revolutionize the way social intercation online would evolve. It had features built in that would give the user the ability to have three transparent OLED screens expanded on one system and interface using the largest CPU available for work and or gaming.Standing outside, he thought about the things Mage had mentioned. She had said her father had things stored on his computer at home. He needed to find a way to hack in and get the information for Leo. There was no legal way to do this though. Having broken into the lawyer's computer had been enough breaking the law for him.His first thought was to somehow break into Shoten's home and get the information, but that was
"Leo, my father wants you to fail. He stole your project."He grasped her hand and patted it again. He looked surprised at the information when in fact he had known all along."What do you mean baby?"Mage began to pout. "Promise you won't be mad at me, Leo. I didn't want to hurt you. I swear I only did these things because he threatened to hurt you and Carter."Leo nodded, pulling her into a semi-hug. Running his hand over her hair, he consoled her."I know none of this is your fault, babe. Tell me everything. Start from the beginning. I won't hold anything against you. I said I would protect you."In a way, he meant that. If she was truely being manipulated by her father, he would help her. But if she helped him willingly, to tear down everything Leo had worked for, he would send her to prison right alongside Mr. Shoten.Mage nodded, beginning the story of her father's plan to take Pinnacle Electronics from Leo Shin. Her hand shivered in Leo's as she tried to keep from breaking dow
