Chapter 115: Humiliation
Lunch was served in the dining room just in time for their arrival. Haruki sat down and gestured to the man coming behind him. Hiroshi sat and began eating.
He was not particularly hungry but since he arrived, he had not had the chance to rest or eat anything considering his mind was filled with the thoughts of the man before him.
It was easy to get a really good appetite watching Haruki eat diligently. He added some side dishes to Haruki’s plate while eating his meal. It was a pretty harmonious sight for Kiyoshi as he passed by the slightly opened door.
He could see Haruki focusing more on the food and he had less worry that Haruki would be sneaking out to fight in some other underground fighting club.
The meal ended and Haruki took a casual walk close to the lake. It was a leisurely weekend afternoon and he had nothing planned until the evening when he had Kiyoshi pick out a suitable attire for him and remind his secretary of the plans they had for that day.
He stopped at the gazebo and sat down leaning leisurely against the backrest of the bamboo bench. He glanced at the doctor beside him. He concluded that the doctor looked a bit sexually frustrated. He seemed to be an abandoned boyfriend hoping for a chance to sleep with him.
When their gaze met, the doctor looked away as though his gaze had not focused on Haruki earlier. Haruki held back a small smile. He wondered if he should give the man what he wanted after all, he still had a few hours before the party he had to attend.
"What are you staring at?" he wore a bored look almost irritated as he looked at Hiroshi. He had no reason to give the man what he wanted except for the fact that he also wanted the man’s touch.
Since that was the only reason why, that made him even more hesitant to give the man his silent requests. This was a test of willpower.
He had a handsome man before him, one who knew just how to satisfy his pent-up need and the man was more than willing to do that but that same man deserved a bit of punishment.
Hiroshi’s gaze rested on Haruki’s lips when he could not take the coldness in Haruki’s black eyes. He swallowed as that was also just as distracting as his eyes only this was in a very different way.
"Are you really that horny?" Haruki asked casually as he glanced down at the man’s groin before looking up at the man’s eyes that were diligently avoiding his. Very uncharacteristic of the doctor, to hide from anyone’s gaze.
"Can I kiss you?" Hiroshi moved close to Haruki and sat down beside him.
Haruki’s gaze only got colder but since the doctor was avoiding his eyes, he didn’t notice it.
Haruki casually pulled out his phone refusing to respond to the man’s question. He tapped on the screen but Hiroshi was not the least interested in what he was doing on his phone.
He missed the man so close to him his nose was filled with his scent and since he was not allowed to express it through words, he wanted to express it through the sexual acts Haruki allowed him to.
"Bring Kataro over," Haruki ordered Ren. He would have gone through Kiyoshi after all, Ren had a lot more to handle in the family than Kiyoshi but Kataro just seemed to be Ren’s responsibility.
Ren on the other end had his questions but he didn’t ask. He got the order and as soon as Haruki hung up, he made a call. He had no idea what Haruki wanted after ordering Kataro to be kept out of his sight but it was an order from Haruki.
Kiyoshi seeing Kataro confidently walk in past security, narrowed his eyes and walked towards the younger man. He stood at the doorway to the main entrance of the house blocking Kataro’s path. "What do you want?"
"I got an order to come," Kataro responded in a calm voice even despite the noticeable coldness in Kiyoshi’s voice. Seeing Kiyoshi did not seem to believe him, Kataro sighed and added, "From the chairman."
Kiyoshi still found it unbelievable but this time, his disbelief was not towards the words Kataro said but towards why Haruki would invite Kataro. He could still remember how tense he got when he saw Kataro in the bar Haruki had last visited.
He had to ensure Kataro stayed hidden because he was more than certain that with Haruki’s mood then, he would have killed the young man. The doctor was back and he had noticed a bit of change in Haruki’s mood. There was no need for Kataro’s presence in the house then.
Kiyoshi finally gave him and stepped aside as much as his thoughts were in a tumult.
Hiroshi felt a clenching pain in his chest. He had been following Haruki around for the past hour now and since he didn’t get even a slight positive response to his request, he could not bring himself to get any closer.
The confidence he had in Haruki’s study was gone completely and he wondered if he had been wishfully thinking Haruki had forgiven him.
Haruki went back to his study and picked up the book he was reading and settled down in a comfortable position on the sofa. Hiroshi sat down on another sofa and he could feel his eyelids get heavy. The fatigue of his journey was finally getting to him.
Soon, there was a knock on the door and Haruki responded. The door was pushed open and a very cautious Kataro walked in. The words of warning he got from Ren stuck with him. He was smart enough to know that he was someone easily disposable and he might be walking to his death.
Haruki glanced at the guest and seeing it was Kataro, he placed his book on the table and sat up. He adjusted his hair before leaning back against the backrest and a smile lifted the corner of his lips as he glanced from the doctor to Kataro.
"You don’t have to worry about the contract, I have given you permission to," he looked at the doctor wearing a calm expression that could not successfully hide the slight tremble when he got to understand what Haruki meant.
"I don’t know what you mean by that," Hiroshi said calmly although that could not hide the panic in his voice.
"You know exactly what I am talking about. Aren’t you horny?" Haruki asked without sugarcoating his words. He noticed Kataro’s eyes widen. "I think he is also very horny, he tried to give me a blow job in the morning weeks ago."
The two men, Hiroshi and Kataro turned and looked at each other. Their gaze was cold, both recognising their rival. There was no sign of attraction even the slightest. Hiroshi who remained calm could feel his hand tremble on his sides.
"Why? Do you need me to get the guest room ready for you two?" Haruki asked with evident amusement. When Haruki finally noticed a break in the calm countenance of the doctor, he smiled and tilted his head backwards holding back a laugh.
He wanted so badly to test and punish the man for leaving him for so long. His smile disappeared faster than it had appeared when he thought of what he would do if the doctor agreed after all, he was a thirsty man.
"Tell him what you want, he is pretty versatile," Haruki said the amusement gone from his voice as he met the doctor’s gaze as though daring him to obey his words.
Humiliation. Hiroshi’s fist tightened firmly as he held Haruki’s gaze. He wanted to show how angry he was. He wanted to let the man know he was hurt by the words but he thought of how little he must mean to Haruki for the man to tell him such words and he could only look down in pure defeat.
Hiroshi rose from the sofa and sighed tiredly. "I am tired from the jetlag and I just want to rest," he told Haruki calmly without bothering to directly reject Haruki’s offer. "I will take a shower and sleep a bit."
With those words said, he didn’t allow Haruki to respond before he walked to the door and closed it a bit hard behind him.
Haruki felt a bit confused as he looked at Kataro. "Don’t you think he wants you to join him to rest?" Haruki asked with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes lifting the corners of his lips.
As much as Kataro felt humiliated by the words Haruki said, he knew he had no right to show it after all, it was a miracle he was still alive after what he did to Haruki.
However, there was something in the doctor’s eyes, one he saw very clearly in his brother’s eyes for the months he was with Haruki the only difference was that the doctor knew how to hide it from Haruki well enough.
"Okay," he accepted Haruki’s order and hurried out of the room. He hurried after the doctor and blocked his path with his hands spread out as his chest rose and fell from rushing over.
"What do you want?" Hiroshi’s voice held the right amount of coldness without being excessive as he looked at the younger man before him.
"You are making a mistake. The chairman . . . he will never love you. I think you should give up before you lose your life over such little feelings. If Ren doesn’t kill you, then you will do it yourself." So many words spilt out of his lips before he had time to think of the risk of speaking such words.
