“Haruka.”
“Yes?”
“You have a koi pond in your living room.”
“I know.” Haruka’s mouth twitched as he watched Eli explore.
He’d lived here for ten years, so it was ordinary to Haruka. Boring even. Everything was boring before he’d met Eli.
The room transformed into something magical as Eli poked and prodded everything in sight. Haruka followed silently when Eli ran out to the rooftop garden.
“You have a heated pool!”
“I do.”
Eli ran up to him and grabbed both of Haruka’s hands. “Can I swim in it?”
Haruka caught a flash of pure, childlike excitement. Eli had never had access to a private pool, so he hadn’t been swimming since he was very young. There would have been too many eyes for him to be able to enjoy himself.
If they ever returned to the States, Haruka would buy Eli a house with a pool.
“You can swim in it whenever you want.” Wearing as much or as little as he wanted.
Eli released Haruka’s hands and made like he was going to strip down and jump right in, but his attention was diverted by the view before he took off a single item of clothing. “I can see Osaka Castle from here!”
He was weak for this boy.
Haruka reached for his phone and opened the app that allowed him to connect to a device he’d installed in his suite the last time he’d been here. Once he was assured there were no surveillance devices around, he tossed his phone onto a nearby bench.
Then he made his way to where Eli was—standing on a rock wall, trying to get a better view of the Osaka skyline.
“Tomorrow can we go-ack!” Eli was cut off as Haruka scooped him off the wall and tossed him over one shoulder.
“Yes.” Tomorrow they could go anywhere, but right now they had unfinished business.
The encounter with his aunt had him feeling . . . territorial. She hadn’t been kidding when she’d expressed an interest in Eli.
Haruka carried Eli inside and deposited him on top of a decorative marble table. “Thank you for being good, Eli.” Haruka enjoyed the way the boy’s eyes went dark at the word good. His irises were so thin his eyes were a midnight blue.
The way Eli went from a hyper ball of energy to passive and compliant in seconds stirred something inside him. Something dangerous in its intensity. Something that focused solely on Eli.
Haruka’s control danced a fine line as he willed his mental walls to stand firm against the darkness in his heart. He couldn’t let it taint the golden core of the boy in his arms, but he couldn’t stop himself from basking in the glow.
Haruka watched, mesmerized, as mischief flared in Eli’s eyes and a pink tongue darted out to wet soft lips. The boy thrust out both hands and planted then in the center of Haruka’s chest and shoved hard.
Eli wasn’t compliant after all. He wanted to play.
Perfect.
The impact of Eli’s push was negligible. Haruka stood his ground and jerked the boy’s hips sharply against his own. His cock was already hard as steel as it pressed against Eli. No one had ever affected him this way.
It was all he could do not to tear off Eli’s clothes and bury himself inside the boy’s tight little hole. His shadow side egged him on, telling him Eli was begging for it.
And he was. Eli might be trying to push him away, but on the inside, he was pleading for Haruka to wreck him.
What a perfect, dirty, little angel.
One that should be begging more.
