Episode 20

By the time that Zack had escorted Mei Li to
“Thank you,” she said, her little-girl voice light with a soft giggle. “Would you keep an eye out while I unlock the door?”
“Yeah, sure,” Zack said, distracted by what he was puzzling out here.
She knelt gracefully, drawing a pin from her hair and inserting it into the lock with a look of utter concentration. A moment later she removed a second pin and fiddled a little before there was a soft click.
“There we are,” she sighed, smiling and tucking the pins neatly back into her elaborately coiled hair.
Zack held out his hand and she took it, allowing him to help her to her feet.
“You are a kind man,” she said, blinking those large, languid eyes at him, a smile curving her painted and full red mouth.
“Please don’t go in there,” Zack breathed. Whoever she really was, he didn’t want to see her hurt, and the idea of
“I must,” she said, and didn’t sound worried or upset. “Come, you keep me company.”
Zack hesitated, unsure.
“He’s gone for the day, isn’t he?” she asked, urging him. “You come keep me company for awhile, and we will talk. You are a kind man, I am interested in why that is so.”
She swung the door open onto
He hesitated another moment, glancing around, and then followed her, closing the door softly behind him.
“You seem to be uneasy,” Mei Li remarked, pausing at the bird cages to coo at one of the twittering, excited denizens.
Zack laughed a little and said, “Yeah, well, I’ve effectively broken into my boss’s private rooms and now I’m hanging out in here—sorry if I’m a little on edge.”
She turned from the cage and smiled at him, cocking her head and asking, “Do I make you nervous?”
“Why would you?” Zack asked, bewildered.
“I think you’ve already guessed,” she said, and drifted closer. “You are the first person I have ever met who was able to guess so quickly…”
Zack blushed a little and said, “It’s none of my concern, Mei Li. I’m trained to notice details—”
He cut off abruptly and she smiled again, cocking her head a little the other direction and saying, “Interesting choice of words. You certainly are an enigma, aren’t you?”
“I try not to be,” Zack said, his voice stiff. “Not anymore.”
“Hm.” She made her way to one of the plush benches next to a supporting marble statue and gracefully seated herself, patting the cushion next to her.
Zack slowly, reluctantly made his way to the seat and got comfortable, tossing his tool-bag down on the glossy, marble floor.
“What is your place here?” Mei Li asked, lounging in a cat-like way. “I am curious to know you.”
“I’m just the handyman,” Zack said, and thought of Kadaj. He wouldn’t have minded giving it a try, even with the danger that
“Trained to notice details,” Mei Li repeated, and laughed lightly. “What were you before you were a handyman?”
“Afraid,” he shortly said, and got to his feet. “Look, if Kadaj comes back, I would encourage you to plead ignorance and get out of here—he’s dangerous and
“I have no fear of
“Good luck,” Zack said, and headed for the door. However much Mei Li might come across as a curious, pleasant, and delicate woman, Zack was pretty sure she was none of those things. And if there was one subject which Zack refused to discuss, one subject which would turn him into a taciturn and cold person not at like himself, it was his past.
He kept thinking of the look on Zack’s face—disappointed, surprised.
“You are very quiet, my Jewel,” Tseng remarked, his hand still cupping Kadaj’s thigh, a cool and dangerous weight that made his heart race.
“I have nothing to say,” Kadaj informed him, speaking in the clipped and guttural tones of his home language. Zack had looked like he’d just had an important illusion shattered as Kadaj had rolled up the window…Had a date really meant that much to him? Why did he care who Kadaj left with, it wasn’t like Zack would really want to be serious in the end, right? Kadaj should just take what he could get while the getting was good…
“
Kadaj bit his lip, wondering who it was this time.
“I wouldn’t know,” he said, his voice cool but a little unsteady. Sometimes, no matter how old he felt or how much shit he’d lived through, he just couldn’t help being a young man barely out of childhood.
“I had thought that he would be with you today, of all days,” Tseng murmured, his sly dark eyes on Kadaj’s face. “But then, he probably never bothered to tell you the significance of this day…”
Despite himself, Kadaj shifted a little to face him, intrigued.
Tseng’s cold smile widened and he purred, “Why, my little Jewel, today is your birthday.”
Stunned, Kadaj could only stare at him, his full mouth parted on a silent gasp.
“Hey,”
“It’s working?” Rufus asked, his voice high with excitement over the phone.
“Yeah,”
Rufus uttered a loud whoop of victory and
He was such an asshole, anyway. The only reason that
The car pulled up at his house as dusk fell over the city, bringing her to full wakefulness after a long, sleepy day.
His place was usually never very busy before seven, and it had an abandoned air about it since his beauties were all either sleeping or going about their daily business. Glad of the quiet,
He opened the door and gaped in astonishment to find someone standing just on the other side, a mischievous smile on her beautiful face.
“
There were three questions that Reeve Tuesti never wanted to ask himself upon waking up:
Who am I holding?
Why am I naked?
Who exactly is spooning me?
Because having to ask those questions meant that terrible things had gone wrong in the life of a mild-mannered and overly-cautious starving artist.
Unfortunately, Reeve woke asking all three.
His grainy, swollen eyes barely forced themselves open when he realized that he was spooning a slender little body. Startled, he craned his head up and found himself staring in stark astonishment at the gently snoring White Rose of Wutai.
Which made him very aware of the fact that he was naked.
Which immediately took second burner to the fact that an equally male and equally naked someone was fitted just as tightly to his back as he was fitted to Yuffie’s.
Uttering a little peep of alarm, Reeve scrambled over Yuffie’s relaxed body and fell on the floor, casting around for his clothing in a room he did not recognize. He split his attention between his clothing search and a helpless appreciation for the décor before finally finding his pants hanging over the back of a plush armchair. He hopped around in his haste to get them on and squeaked again when he looked back at the bed to find Yuffie watching him with curiosity.
“What’re you doing, Reeve? Come back to bed, it’s too early to get up,” she mumbled, even though by the darkness beyond the windows it was probably only just early evening. Without further ado, she rolled over to snuggle against the male portion of the Shock Reeve To Death and Back Show—Genesis.
The man yawned and nestled Yuffie to his chest, not even slitting an eyelid. In a low, sleepy voice he admonished, “Reeve, panicking never did anyone any good. You’ve left a perfectly warm and comfortable bed to stand there gaping at us—if I were you, I’d just lose the pants and come back to paradise.”
Reeve was momentarily too offended to be embarrassed, and drew himself fully up to his modest height to declare, “You drugged me!”
Genesis chuckled a little and did slit an eye, smirking at him. “No, darling, I accidentally gave you the wrong pill. I realized it after you started painting mammoths on your hotel mirror with ketchup packets. But, on the bright side, it did take care of your headache.”
“You’re a kidnapping rapist!” Reeve told him, and found his shirt and shoes, yanking them on with trembling hands.
Genesis made a grumpy sound and sighed, “That’s next week’s play, my dear. Really, Reeve, come back to bed.”
“Yeah, you’re making this way harder than it should be,” Yuffie put in, and yawned, snuggling into the pillows.
Fuming, Reeve stalked out of the room only to return a few moments later in angry resignation.
“Lost?” Genesis inquired, smirking.
“Loan me 20 Gil so I can get a cab,” Reeve said, stiff with fury. “We’ll call it a bribe not to have you arrested.”
“Check my nightstand, love,” Genesis told him, and appeared to go back to sleep.
Reeve dug in the wallet on the nightstand and took out a 20 Gil note, shortly saying, “I’ll pay you back as soon as I’m able.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Genesis sighed. “It was my pleasure.”
Reeve frowned ferociously but couldn’t come up with a snappy comeback, so he opted for leaving with a little dignity intact.
“Oh, and Reeve?” Genesis said, halting him at the door. “I’m sorry about your boxers—in my defense you were a little frantic to get out of them.”
Reeve slammed the door on his way out, opened it, and slammed it again for emphasis before he went out of the grand row-house to hail a cab on the busy street below.
“What’s he so mad about?” Yuffie asked, wriggling around a little to get comfortable. “It isn’t like you lit his undies on fire on purpose or anything, people drop cigarettes all of the time!”
Genesis shrugged a little and said, “Perhaps he just doesn’t remember what happened. He did call me a kidnapping racist.”
“Rapist,” Yuffie corrected. “He called you a rapist. Told you I shoulda been at his back.”
“Spooning just doesn’t work that way, darling,” Genesis sighed. “Shortest to the front, that’s the rule. Now, go back to sleep, I’m tired of drama for once.”
“Wonders never cease,” Yuffie laughed, but fell back to sleep within moments.
Kadaj’s eyes swept closed as soft lips trailed over his cheek. His heart thundered in his chest but even the fear could not dampen his excitement. After a long afternoon and evening spent celebrating his birthday, he was ripe for this pampering.
Tseng had flown him to Dai Jiao via private jet and had held a celebration at what Kadaj could only describe as his palace in honor of Kadaj’s birthday. There had been dancers, games, a feast to make him faint with glee, a play staged just for his amusement—it was all very heady stuff for one so young, and the rich gifts only made him more vulnerable to Tseng’s advances.
Now, splayed out on heavily embroidered silk sheets on a massive, low bed in the heart of the jet, Kadaj was pretty sure that life in Dai Jiao was every bit as perfect as Tseng claimed it would be.
“My Jewel, how long I have waited,” Tseng breathed, and his smooth, cool hands warmed as they slid over Kadaj’s bare flesh, brushing down his slender sides while that moist, full mouth drifted down to nip at his earlobe.
Kadaj shivered but smiled, hoping the short trip to Midgar would give them time enough for this. He slid his arms around Tseng’s neck, drawing him closer so that all of that blue-black, soft hair fell around his face. Tseng’s body was slender but shockingly strong, pale white all over and as bereft of body hair as Kadaj’s own.
“I had wished to wait, Kadaj,” Tseng murmured, and the possessive gleam that lit his dark eyes made Kadaj shiver again, woozy with power. “But I find that I cannot resist you, my delicious and delicate little Jewel…”
“Why wait?” Kadaj asked, and leaned up to kiss him, to nip at his full lower lip and suck on his soft skin. “Consider this my final present, Tseng.”
“Oh, never that,” Tseng assured him, and smiled slightly, those dark eyes shuttering. “I will grace you with gifts until time takes you from me, Kadaj. It is a singular pleasure of mine, to give you what your heart desires.”
Kadaj blushed, surprised that those words affected him. He thought briefly of Zack’s open, honest offer, his straightforward way of asking for a chance with Kadaj. There was no entendre there, no double-meanings, no mystery and no danger…
But he wanted mystery, he wanted danger…He wasn’t ready to give down-to-earth, practical, and patient a try just yet, not when dangerous, frightening, and powerful was drawing his slender body close.
Kadaj pushed Zack from his thoughts and wriggled his legs around Tseng’s slender, strong hips.
“No, you be still,” Tseng admonished, purring, his mouth curving up in a soft, mischievous smile. “You work for nothing this day, Kadaj.”
Kadaj closed his eyes and settled back with a smile, relaxing utterly while Tseng’s clever, warm mouth began exploring his soft, sensitive skin.
Zack had no idea how long he’d been laying on his bed, lost in thought. He briefly considered going back to check on Mei Li, but she’d made it pretty apparent that his help was not required.
Her questions, though, those lingered. They got him to thinking about Gongaga again, about everything that had happened to force him into Midgar, to drag him down to lowly handyman of a notorious and dangerous pimp-cum-mobster.
He wondered if he’d come far enough, if he’d fled fast enough, if the past could be left behind like dirt in a path. He should feel lucky to have such a room, to have such a job in such an ugly city—it was more than he deserved, hunted as he was. No one would look for him here, not in a whorehouse, not in the heart of
Despite what had happened, they would still think that they knew him, and in knowing him they would assume that a whorehouse would be the last place in the world he would stay.
‘Stop it,’ he admonished, sitting up to put his head in his hands. He wondered how long he would be in limbo here in Midgar, existing day to day but never living, not ever again. He didn’t deserve to have a life.
Not when he’d taken one from someone else.
“Mei Li!”
She watched his movements, languid interest in her dark eyes, her head cocked.
“When did you get here?” he asked, and licked his lips just looking at her.
“Just last night,” she cooed, and smiled at him. “Tseng shifu sent for me.”
Leave it to Tseng to bring her over here—a peace offering, maybe, or just a flat-out bribe. He must want Kadaj baaaad.
“Haven’t you missed me?” Mei Li pouted, and her deft little hands began loosening her clothing, letting the layers of silk and satin fall open to bare her impressive breasts.
“You come with me,” she said, and turned just as the last layer dropped to catch at her elbows, drawing a softly voiced complaint from him when she denied him the pleasure of seeing her lithe body entirely unclothed.
He followed her in a kind of heated daze, still shocked that she was here. He wasn’t even sure what to do about the situation—she couldn’t stay, Kadaj would kill her!—but when she draped artfully on his bed with that remaining bit of cloth draped across her hips, he moved around to stand next to her.
“Bad boy,” she purred, her little-girl voice deepening just slightly. She smirked at him and reached for something on the nightstand, and he watched her drop a pill onto her tongue.
Her voice came from a distant tunnel when she said, “Bad, bad boy,
He didn’t really care, as long as she touched him.
Reno let her drag him onto the bed, let her wrestle him out of his clothes while he buried his face in her large breasts, wishing she would rub that slender, curvaceous body against him and give him what he wanted.
Tseng was calm, he was placid, he was neutral…
He reminded himself of this over and over as the heat built in his body with every soft kiss, every tender touch. He focused on such gentleness, focused on his goal—seduce his little Jewel with worship, earn his trust. Once the boy decided to return with him to Dai Jiao, then Tseng could have him as he wished, then Kadaj would understand that air of frantic, forced cheerfulness at his celebration and see that everyone feared Tseng Si Ming to the core of their beings.
But for now, he was tenderness itself.
Kadaj twisted a little beneath him, his lithe body undulating. Tseng took a deep breath, thinking that
“Tseng,” he moaned, feverish, his jade eyes slits of glittering color, his sylph-like body restless. Small, strong hands clutched at Tseng’s shoulders, dragging him down, demanding attention.
Tseng smiled, pleased to see him so undone. He truly was a Cetran at its finest.
“Hush now, my Jewel,” he murmured. “I live to do as you please…”
He drew back and gently turned Kadaj onto his belly on the smooth, warm sheets, stroking his long back before peppering it with kisses. His hands spanned the boy’s slender waist, fingers curling down against his hipbones for a light, tight squeeze. Murmuring soft words of praise, Tseng lifted him up onto his knees, the slender sweep of his back dipping down to that scattering of silver hair across the pillows. It was a position that suited his little Jewel—one of abject surrender with his face buried in the pillows and his perfect backside presented in the air.
Tseng settled behind him and dipped his head, running his tongue along the seam of his buttocks, trailing down tight flesh to the taut skin of his balls. His sex hung heavy and swollen, a curve of hard flesh swaying with the slightest of Kadaj’s movements. Tseng turned his head a little and drew that little sac into his mouth, sucking softly, letting his tongue play over it until Kadaj was uttering breathless little cries, squirming against him.
“Sh,” he breathed again, and slid his tongue back up to puckered skin, his hands sliding to grip the boy’s hips as his tongue gently probed him.
Kadaj sobbed softly in pleasure, surprised that Tseng would do such a thing. While he often did such things for
His hands clenched in the sheets while Tseng’s clever tongue made him wet and ready, his whole body weak with want, his hard sex throbbing into empty air.
Tseng whispered something against him and drew back, gently pushing Kadaj down onto his belly. The man moved between the wide spread of Kadaj’s legs and the boy felt his warm, lithe body settle over him.
For a shocking second he was surprised at the difference, thrown off by how much more slender and light this body was—he was so used to Reno’s wiry but muscular frame, so used to his whipcord-slim, fighting-dog physique that Tseng’s graceful but light body utterly shocked him.
But a split-second later he felt the hot, sticky head of him pressing in, and Kadaj lifted his hips a little, moaning as the man settled fully onto and into him.
“My Jewel,” Tseng whispered, and slipped one hand beneath him to cup and squeeze his aching body. His other arm braced against the headboard and his hips began to move, driving deep with slow, rocking thrusts.
Kadaj gasped in soft, rhythmic, breathless little starts, straining up and back against the weight of him, eyes closed and body awash with pleasure. Tseng’s body was tense above his, his hot breath pulsing against the nape of Kadaj’s neck. The man paused and slid his long legs onto the outside of the boy’s own, forcing them closed, forcing his own body up higher on Kadaj’s. The second he started thrusting again Kadaj felt the difference—every slow push of his body rubbed against Kadaj’s sweet-spot.
“Tseng!” he whimpered, writhing now, not caring if he was speeding things up. This was for him, right? And he wanted it.
That hand squeezed him faster and with more pressure, milking him while that amazing sensation washed over him.
Kadaj wailed softly and pushed himself up on his hands, back arched, forcing himself harder onto Tseng’s working, pulsing cock. He deliberately tightened, squeezing back as the pleasure crested, his body jerking uncontrollably and his cries loud as he lost himself to a powerful orgasm.
He arched over into the pillows, screaming hoarsely into their muffling covers while his muscles jumped and twitched, that rupturing of pleasure still blossoming in his groin and speeding out over his whole body. The hand on his cock moved urgently as cum shot out of his pulsing flesh, the wet slap of Tseng’s hand only causing Kadaj to shudder and writhe as he peaked again with a loud, pained cry.
“Mine,” Tseng breathed, so calm and detached, still riding Kadaj’s wildly twisting body with those slow, deep thrusts—untouched, unmoved, so cold.
“Tseng,” he moaned, his voice thick, his body rapidly succumbing to lethargy as his orgasm faded. “Cum on me.”
He was pleased to feel that hand still for a moment, to feel a slight check in those deep thrusts.
“Cum on my back,” he purred, and wriggled beneath him. He hoped he would, it was one of his private pleasures that Reno often took advantage of—when Kadaj was fucking someone that Reno had brought home for him, the man always lay next to them and watched, always triggered Kadaj’s orgasms by coming in his face, on his chest, on his back, anywhere as long as Kadaj felt it, knew it was happening…
Tseng’s mouth covered his nape and suddenly he bit down, earning a soft, pleased gasp from Kadaj. The man’s body shifted and he pulled out, the hot tip of him leaving a wet trail up the small of Kadaj’s back. His knees pulled up a little, holding his weight above Kadaj, but that hand kept squeezing Kadaj’s spent, throbbing sex.
“Please,” he moaned, and his eyelids fluttered helplessly. When he felt that first hot splash splatter up his back Kadaj whimpered softly and clenched tight in yet another bone-wrenching orgasm, eyes closed in ecstasy.
“You’re my bad boy, aren’t you?” Mei Li purred, and
“Mei Li,” he slurred, and his voice sounded so weird to himself. Strange lethargy stole the strength from his limbs so that he just lay there on his bed with her curled between his legs. His hazy eyes focused a little on her face and he made a low sound when she shrugged off the last of her clothing and slithered up him, the heavy weight of her large breasts sliding over his throbbing body.
He closed his eyes and started panting, wanting to look but knowing better—if he looked, he’d cum. Fuck, just the feeling of her skin against his was putting him dangerously close. And why?
Because Mei Li was the only woman he’d ever found who was everything he’d ever needed, ever fantasized about.
“Poor boy, ready to go,” she said, and her tinkling, sharp laughter lifted goosebumps on his skin. “Well, it’s been a long time, I understand that. We can play more later, my
She moved off of him and
A hard throb shot through his cock when he felt her pushing in and she laughed again, cooing, “So eager—my darling
He was panting and undone, his body shaking hard, a sheen of sweat on his skin as she pressed deep. He felt the heavy weight of her breasts settle against his back as she arched over him, felt the hard nubs of her nipples graze his skin as she thrust her hot cock balls-deep inside him.
That was all it took, his fantasy made flesh and fucking him—Reno grit his teeth and bucked beneath her in an agony of pleasure, coming in thick, violent spurts across his bed. Stars burst behind his eyelids and keening, whining cries tore their way free of his throat while Mei Li roughly rode him straight into mindless rapture.
