Chapter 12
"Take me away with you. I can't stay here anymore. Not after this." Those were Kiichi's first words the next morning when Corey woke up next to him after a few hours of restless sleep. The beaten and abused samurai couldn't sleep much from his injuries. It was more like drifting in and out of sleep, often jerking awake from reliving the scene that burned itself into his mind.
He had time while lying awake and motionless next to Corey in the soft western bed – which he could so appreciate now with his aching body – to think things through. But he was now more tired, sad and scared than angry.
Of course he still thought that he didn't deserve this treatment, but there was truth in the Shogun's words. And as he looked back once, seeing Jim sobbing and falling apart like that was heart-wrenching, because in his own way Kiichi still loved and respected their ruler.
Yes, he made mistakes sometimes, but also the pressure seemed to be too much on the wide shoulders. Still. Kiichi couldn't bear the thought to stay anymore and let the Shogun touch him again. He wanted to be free on the side of his dragon. He wanted to shake all the remaining shackles off him and start a new life with Corey after leaving his past behind. Well, at least once he'll be well enough to move and flee. If Corey will want to take Kiichi with him.
Corey sat up and looked deeply at his lover's bruised face, searching the black eyes then nodded. "If you wish that, I will. How far do you want to go from here, my love?" he asked softly caressing the wavy hair framing his samurai's face.
He was tired as well. Woke up to Kiichi's every little move as he tried to guard his sleep. All the exhaustion of the funeral and now this… He was angry at the Shogun, but also feared that he would get Kiichi and himself in trouble if he dashed in and confronted the ruler. If his love wanted to go away, it was better to lay low till they could and he was in a better shape to go.
"I'm sorry, Kiichi… I will organize things according to your wish."
"I'm afraid of what he might decide about my fate. So… far. Maybe to America. Or Canada... or even France. I don't know. At whichever place you have connections and is easier for you to arrange it while I heal up," the wounded dragon turned his tired eyes at his love.
"I want to leave all this behind and be free on your side. I've been dreaming of that for a while now. Would you want that with me? Do you still want me as your pair?" he whispered, clearly still all messed up from the previous night.
"Of course I want that. I always wanted that and it will never change. My family is in Canada. And it's safer for foreigners and people… you know… Although my mother would not be pleased. She comes from a high class and wanted grandchildren and an heir to carry the family and name along. My father is also a soldier and knows that the new world is not about royals anymore…" he was babbling, thinking out loud. Not adding the similarities between his fate and the Shogun's. "I need the help of Corey-chan to get my stuff from the base and get places on a ship. Can I… can I ask? Did the Shogun get like this because of you and me?" he asked low and a little afraid what Kiichi would react.
Hearing Corey's words, Kiichi's expression softened somewhat and that scary hollowness in his eyes eased up and some warm feelings reflected in them. "Thank you," he whispered reaching out his hand for Corey's to lightly squeeze it.
"Canada it is then," he even nodded a bit while lying there looking up at his man. "And I'm sorry in advance for any inconvenience or tension my presence there might cause," Kiichi said seriously, remembering how in the white men's world it was even more frowned upon if a man fell in love with another.
"Yes. You can ask him. You do what you need to make that travel happen. Corey-chan has been in love with the Shogun ever since he was a boy. He can give him what he needs way better than I. He'll be happy to help, because in the end it'll mean that the Shogun will be his. If that's what he wants, I'm happy for him. But I... I just can't let the Shogun touch me like that ever again. I belong to you. I'm yours. No one else's," he closed his eyes with a deep sigh, squeezing Corey's hand firmer now as if emphasizing his words.
“Before and while he was... doing all that to me and was yelling all those things at me... I couldn't stop thinking of you. I couldn't force myself to keep in control. I just wanted to be with you and rest...." he continued and slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling. "No. He wasn't like that because of us being together... In fact, he knew of us and allowed it so I could fall in love and be happy like he'll never be able to. So he allowed us to be together. Also, he is devastated by the loss of his son. And all the attacks and losing his Shogun powers... they all were piling up on him and he couldn't sate his needs with Corey-chan either so... he just exploded when I... I pulled away from a bite and pushed him," he confessed.
"I see. I'm sorry my love. I will keep you safe. I swore on that. I will take you away to be safe," Corey leaned down and kissed Kiichi's face. "Canada is more… liberated in such things. With foreigners from far away like Japan and China and South America Americans are like your people are. I don't want anyone mistreating you. And I never thought that you owe him to bear his rages obediently. Corey-chan will be good for him too, I think. And to be honest, losing a major amount of responsibilities with the Shogun power would also be good for him. I don't want to draw his attention to us while you're healing. But maybe when you're safe I talk to him… Not sure yet. I just want you to be happy," Corey suddenly felt even more tired and just noticed that he was blabbering again. He probably looked very bad and old, his small eyes were stinging with the exhaustion too.
"I'm sure you'll do everything you can to keep me safe, my love," Kiichi's dark eyes searched the other man's worn out and tired look. This Corey was far from the happy and smiling one he's gotten so used to since they've been together. Lifting a bruised arm he caressed the broad chest.
"I'm sure you're right about all of this. And I agree. We should lay low for now. We'll see if that talk is a good idea or not. But one thing is sure. You'll have to start teaching me English if we are going to live overseas..." he smiled faintly up at his man. "Now come, my love. We both could use some more rest. Everything else can wait afterwards," he said.
"Yeah… Some rest would be nice. I hope we can…" Corey mumbled feeling the tiredness creeping into his body more again. So he laid back and gently pulled Kiichi to his chest to be able to hold the slimmer body in his arms, kissing into the soft hair. "First of all… Say ‘I love you’. That means ‘aishiteru’. That’s the most important thing I want to hear you say in all languages," he laughed a little and caressed the bruised back soothingly.
Smiling a bit wider, Kiichi cleared his throat and nuzzled to his man's chest, closing his eyes. "I love you," Kiichi said after a few moments with a thick accent.
Then from the exhaustion and the need of his body to sleep and heal, the samurai finally fell into a deep sleep. With a deep sigh his pair followed him in a few minutes – once his overtired brain let him stop already planning their escape.
***
In a few hours Kiichi jerked awake to someone entering Corey's room. Of course his man woke up right away too. The samurai was ready to reach for a weapon when the short red-haired warrior entered balancing two trays of food on his arms.
"Kiichi-kun, Corey-san," the short man bowed after putting the trays down. "I brought fresh sushi to bring your strength back. How are you Kiichi-kun?" Corey-chan asked with honest worry in his eyes while watching the pair sit up.
With a few barely-there grimaces and some effort Kiichi found a position that wasn't as uncomfortable as the rest. "Thank you, Corey-chan, it's nice of you," he bowed a bit and looked at the tray placed next to him. It was filled with fresh and mouthwatering food. Even if Kiichi wasn't hungry, he knew he had to eat to heal faster and get his strength back, like Corey-chan said.
"I'll survive, don't worry," Kiichi added and took the chopsticks to start quietly eating. He didn't really want to go into details of how he was feeling.
The long-haired Corey bowed too and started eating as well. "Thank you, Corey-chan. I'm grateful for your help from last night and now for the food. I have to ask you for more help, though."
"No need to thank me, Corey-san. I would help in anything I am able to. Kiichi-kun is like a brother to me."
It was true. They've been through thick and thin during the years and saved each others' lives countless of times too. With a sigh Kiichi stopped eating and looked up at the red samurai. "I want to leave for good with Corey. We need your help in organizing that. You want the Shogun, don't you?" he asked to make sure.
The short pale man turned red, even his thick neck and he lowered his eyes. "You know me well, Kiichi-kun. He was mine before you arrived. And yes," he looked up at the other samurai "I want to be his, and him to be mine. Also know that I never had jealousy towards you, Kiichi-kun. I help you for what we’ve been through all these years and to know that you’re free and safe," the rest Corey said and bowed his head.
"I thank you, Corey-chan," the Captain bowed back. "I need to go to the bay and into the remains of the old barracks. And we need our horses and a safe gateway. And the most important is – until Kiichi gets strong enough and we find a ship – we want to lay low and unbothered. If you could keep the Shogun's focus off from us after what happened…"
The blue-eyed man listened carefully and nodded to all." Very well. It would be no problem at all. Jim is not in a good shape by all meaning. I will spend a lot of time in private with him in the following days anyway and help him in whatever he may need."
"I'd bow to the ground now if I could," Kiichi smiled a bit at the short man after listening to his words in silence. "With your help it can work and you can have our Lord for yourself again – like I believe is supposed to be," the samurai added then continued eating while listening to the other two starting to plan the escape after they made Corey swear not to tell it to the Shogun.

Although it was broad daylight outside, the Shogun's bed chamber was only half-lit as he forbade the servants to let the light in. There was a kicked up tray with food scattered on the floor. It barely missed the retreating servant who brought it in for the ruler. Instead Jim demanded more sake and tobacco.
Since then the empty sake bottles started to pile up next to the messy bed where the still naked and heavily tattooed Shogun was puffing smoke into the air from a pipe.
Coming back from the pair the red samurai was already thinking about what to do. Of course he wanted the love of his life for himself. But losing someone like Kiichi was heavy on his heart. And he knew the Shogun loved the black samurai too, under all that addiction to him. He let him be with someone he fell in love with because of that love...
The feelings Corey had for the ruler was more deeply rooted and during the time Jim returned to be with him they really grow close again. Closer than before… His wilder and hot-headed nature understood the Shogun’s similar one more. And he felt partly responsible for all this by not being able to give for days what the Shogun needed. Though they were building up their relationship meanwhile… Yes, it was beginning to be a relationship... Towards to make the Lord more balanced.
With a big sigh Corey-chan nodded to the guard and entered the Shogun’s room. Without a word he started to pick up the food to put it onto the tray.
"The food was innocent, my Lord. I am here and listening to your needs," he said low, going closer to the wasted and very much fallen apart man. Corey-chan was the only one the Shogun has shown his weak and desperate side so far…
While lying naked on his side, Jim finished drinking the last sip of the strong drink from the bottle and let it drop back on a smaller tray. "My needs, huh?" he giggled bitterly. "What I need is more sake. Tell the servants or the guards or fuck cares. You can bring me some too," he chuckled quite drunk and sucked on the pipe. "Or you could bring me some of those herbs we smoked last time and fucked all night from it," he put the pipe down once it burnt out.
One that didn't know the Shogun enough might have been deceived by the light tone he used for these suggestions, but there was some sarcasm and tons of darkness behind his words and the move as he reached a hand out for Corey. For a split second there was even that glimpse of fear that he wasn't going to be accepted or needed by this man either. Then he would really lose everything.
Of course Corey-chan knew his Lord well. He was only around twelve years younger than the Shogun and saw him being trained into a cold-hearted ruler by his father who was never pleased with him for a second. He knew his son's interest in men and that Jim was more free-spirited and stated that he was going to try and kill that out of him early.
As a foreigner and an orphan he understood more the hidden need of the big man – the need of being loved and accepted for simply what he was.
The old Shogun died early and Jim had to take his place as a teen. Closing up even more towards the world.
Now, looking into the tired hazel eyes he felt his heart breaking again. He took the reaching out hand of the Shogun and kissed the back of it as he kneeled next to the big man. "You want to fuck all night again? It's only the early afternoon..." he spoke with softness in his voice, caressing the sweaty longer hair out of the tired face.
Jim put his big head on Corey's muscular thigh and the long arms around his middle as if needing something – or someone – steady to hold on to before the tides could pull him away and down into complete darkness. That caressing hand felt more than divine on his face, making the broken man sigh.
"I don't know what I want anymore. I don't know anything just that I'm a monster. I'm like my father used to be. Or even worse after what I'd done last night to Kiichi. He'll hate me for the rest of his life. I had lost him and I'm sure I'll lose you too. Just look at me... I'm a mess. Not worthy of your care and attention... and love..." he buried his head more into Corey's thick thigh.
"I can't control myself... I... I hate what I've become. And sooner or later you'll reject me too. You'll leave as well," he whispered drunk and barely audible, his long tattooed arms tightening around Corey.
Corey swallowed hard and bent down to hold the bigger body closer to him. He caressed the wide shoulders and long arms around him.
"I would never leave you. After all the years you didn't send for me, my love for you never faded," he said low, gently pushing back the big man to make him let his smaller body go and lay back.
"I know what I want, though…" he said licking his pink lips and peeling his shirt off, revealing his heavily tattooed pale skin. He leaned down and kissed the Shogun's plump lips without any fear of the ruler. Pushing the big hands onto his naked skin he deepened the kiss.
The Shogun was speechless, but willing to do what the small and stubborn redhead wanted. It was still amazing to Jim that this headstrong short man was the only one who dared to act not shy and obedient with him at times. It happened rarely, but now he needed this side of Corey to surface. More than Jim thought he would.
Hearing those words, his eyes welled up and a few teardrops slipped into his hairline as he stared up at the inked body and fierce blue eyes. Jim nearly choked on his air as he was kissed and his hands obeyed right away, starting to caress the half-naked man – of course trying to avoid the bandaged still healing shoulder.
Corey wanted him after all. After all these years. He still wanted and loved him, no matter what!
Feeling Jim moving as he wanted without hesitation and objection, Corey moved over the big man, sitting on Jim's hips to straddle him.
"You always taste so sweet to me. I can't get enough of kissing you. Or feeling you," he outright moaned. And pressed his clothes-covered ass to the groin of the Shogun. He leaned down again and looked at the ruler with burning blue eyes filled with lust. "I won't give up on what I love. Not anymore... I have my needs too. And I know you need to give me what I'm burning for…" he whispered caressing the face and the long neck before kissing Jim again.
Jim gasped as he felt that small round ass pressing against his quickly filling cock. He was still amazed from the fact that this small man wanted him this much. Meeting those intense eyes, the Shogun felt like he fully saw Corey for the first time. It was as if last night was a turning point in many meanings. One was Corey finally stepping out of the shadows to express his feelings and needs.
The big man's fingers dug into the warm skin to express the joy the small man on top of him was giving him and kissed him back with more passion as the mild shock was starting to wear off.
His big hands then caressed Corey's naked back and still clothed ass. "Yes... yes I need to..." the bearded man panted onto Corey's lips in between two kisses, his hands sliding forward to loosen the samurai's pants.
"You're so good to me, my Lord…" Corey moaned and lifted his hips to help Jim loosen his pants.
The kisses turned more urging and wild. The warrior sucked and bit down on the swollen lips of Jim, his hands stroking the bare chest, rubbing the small nipples as he, himself started to lose control over the need he had for the big man.
"Be more good to me and help me take your amazing cock inside me…" he moaned again onto the Shogun's lips. Breathing heavily and shaking from the rush of need for his man. "I want you so badly... All of you…" the small wild creature whined low, feeling the flames of desire threatening to consume him, if Jim didn't act fast.
The Shogun's mind was dizzy and now not really from the sake, but the fierce warrior demanding his attention and what he needed. But he couldn't deny that every praising word made the cold darkness lessen a bit in him. He wasn't that surprised from that anymore, though. He already had feelings for his red samurai.
After that longer break when he let Kiichi off the hook to spend more time with the Captain, the redhead became a frequent visitor in his bed. And it wasn't just to substitute Kiichi as he thought about it at first. No, it took only a few occasions and more intimate talks to make the Shogun send for Corey every night until he got injured in battle.
It was true that they were much, much closer to each other than in the past and right now... Jim started to feel very glad about that. Especially when the finally naked body was back on top of him and wanted ALL of him so badly...
Corey was... so beautiful like that. Shaking and yearning for him... as if only he could ease that inner-fire. During his entire life only this man looked at the Shogun like that.
And as soon as his slicked up and long cock started sliding into that tight and hot ass, Jim realized just how much he needed this man too... And with that thought he grabbed Corey's wide hips and with a loud moan he slammed him down on the last few inches too.
"To all the gods..." Corey cried out as pleasure swept over his body. Finally he felt the rubbing of the long dick inside him and it was just simply perfect. Rocking his hips back and forth with loud pleased sounds and moans, he took the Shogun's hands off his hips and moved them to his tattooed chest as he started to move in small circles up and down on the shaft of his ruler.
"Yes… Fill me up like that... so perfectly…. Just what I need… I need you so much… I love you, Jim… To all the dragons, you’re making me lose my mind..." Corey whined and moaned as he was riding his man harder and faster, supporting himself with digging his nails into the Lord's skin.
The other man was moaning louder from the intense pleasure and his nails scratched and dug into Corey's chest, finding the sensitive nipples to torture them the way the redhead loved the most. It was mind-blowing how Jim knew without thinking what to do to the body above him. And what was even better was that Corey loved it whatever Jim did to him...
He... he remembered nights – or days – when the samurai begged for more or harder so beautifully even when Jim was in his most violent moods...
"Fuck..." the big man groaned, leaving bloody scratch marks on the white skin as his own hips were finally coming alive too. His thrusts met Corey's half-way, making them moan and move in desperate need for release. Panting Jim looked up at the breath-taking face swimming in ecstasy. "You want... more?" he growled, slowly starting to find himself again.
Corey opened his hazy eyes, shining like the deepest ocean and groaned as one bigger move hit his pleasure spot so blissfully. "Oh yeah... Oh please give me more… I need to make me burn so bad… Come Jim… Please… Give it to me harder…" Corey panted and whined out of control.
Those words were like music to his ears and to grant that wish he sat up and took hold of the small body to roll over with it until Corey was pressed against the cover underneath. But now Jim was careful not to hurt the bandaged shoulder.
In the next moment he covered the trembling body and rammed back into it, huffing and puffing and growling as his dominant side was slowly surfacing again, plunging into the willing hole even harder, hitting Corey's pleasure spot from the perfect angle again as their mingled moans were echoing around them.
Corey was out of breath and out of that world as he grabbed onto the wide shoulders over him like for dear life. His cries of joy were loud and he kept mumbling about his love and adoration for the Shogun, praising him in-between moans. Shaking uncontrollable as the waves of pleasure washed over him more and more frequently.
It didn't take long for the Lord to push him over the edge with the wild hard thrusts. Corey groaned like a wounded beast with gritted teeth. His inner walls pulled the pulsing cock even deeper as the huge orgasm took over him.
"Yes... Yes, give it to me..." the Shogun panted and he wasn't sure either whether he meant Corey's seed and pleasure or that love and adoration he was babbling about while so out of it. Probably Jim wanted both, but he couldn't think too much about it, because the next moment he came hard too, fucking the trembling man until his ass was full.
***
As the blinding pleasure was ebbing down, Jim found himself clumsily kissing his red samurai in-between panting for air, his hips slowing down but still rocking into the other man.
"I needed... this... so badly... Thank you... my fierce red demon," he looked deeply into the hazy blue eyes then kissed him properly. Maybe feeling his situation a little bit less hopeless.
Corey hugged the long neck of his Shogun and melted into the kiss. Feeling himself moved and burning with love.
He wanted so much to make Jim feel better, to make him feel free and balanced like he should be. He once thought that Kiichi could maybe help him more, as it seemed the Lord favored the black samurai more. But Corey knew that he never should have let his feelings be put aside. It felt right... Even with the class difference. Anyway... In a few months that won't be there either. But would the Shogun still want him once he gets better...? The small man didn't even realize that his moved hopeful tears were rolling down on his flushed face.
Noticing the tears, worry started appearing on Jim's face and he carefully slid out of the warm body. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" he swallowed hard, after what happened last night his spirit started sinking fast from the thought. The last thing he wanted to do was hurting the only person who loved him now.
"No… No, my Lord. You gave me what I needed. Thank you. I'm just… I don't want to give you up…" he said wiping his eyes and smiling at Jim. Even reaching out to caress his face, making himself shed some more tears as he added in his thoughts 'I don't want to give up on us'. Instead he only said "I love you, Jim Root from the dragon warriors."
Corey's words were again like an electric shock to the Shogun's system. "No one ever said such things to me. No one ever wanted me like you... I don't want to lose that," he kissed the thick neck then rested his head on the middle of the tattooed chest, just enjoying the warmth and the heartbeats of the other man. Who loved him... for real.
It was both heart-warming and scary for Jim. And to add to that, it seemed from addressing him in such an intimate way, that Corey wanted them to become more equal. Which would be outrageous for many, but... to the vulnerable man the concept was getting kinda alluring.
"Thank you," Corey simply said that closing his eyes and with love he began slowly stroking the long hair and Jim's head.
Maybe he’ll always stay as a servant and a soldier to the Shogun. But he wanted to stay close and care for him, no matter what.
"Would you try to eat with me? I've made sushi from a red tuna I've smoked last week."
Jim was too messed up still to try examining the feelings he had for the red warrior, so he had to settle with this for now. Maybe longer. Trying to suppress the voice of his father yelling at him that emotions are weaknesses, he sighed lightly rubbing his bearded face against Corey's chest before lifting his head.
"Yes. We can try some food. Haven't eaten much in the past few days," Jim said as he sat up. And poured water for them both from a jug before drinking his.
"I'm happy that you’d like to eat. As I recall it you usually liked my food," Corey said with a little smile. Putting a robe on he rang for a servant ordering her to bring the sushi from the kitchen.
"How are you feeling, my lord? " he asked sitting back next to the deeply thinking man, stroking the wrinkles on his forehead to ease them up.
"Yes. You can prepare food very well, Corey," Jim said absently watching Corey moving around like someone who owned the place. Did he do this before too and the Shogun just started noticing it now? Or was this new too?
It took him a moment to realize that Corey asked something, but his touch was welcomed on his forehead. Now that his mind was a bit clearer, it started working too.
"To be honest, a bit better and more grounded. But my thoughts are still burdened with quite a few problems. The main now is what happened last night. And its consequences."
"I am here for you, Jim. If I can help you in anything. Share your thoughts with me. If you want and think it would help. All my life my intention was to help you," Corey said low and searched the thinking face.
Jim looked at him like he just got to know him. It scared the short man a little, because he never did anything against the Shogun's will, or doing anything new today than other times.
"I have to confess that I checked on Kiichi-kun this morning. He is in the Captain's care and doing well… considering the circumstances," he added even more silently and swallowed hard.
To those words the Shogun pressed his lips together and took a deep breath. He wasn't getting angry though. He was more sad than anything else. And maybe regretted what he'd done too.
"I didn't mean to go so hard on him. But it happened. And now I don't know what to do about Kiichi or the Captain. I'm still a bit angry too, though. Can't help it. I should give it a rest for a few days maybe..." he thought out loud, stroking down his bushy beard a few times.
"I think that is a good idea. Let Kiichi heal too," Corey added carefully. "Are you... are you angry over them being together, my Lord?" he asked even more carefully. He maybe stepped over a line, but he had to know how the big man felt.
Jim looked at Corey from that question, letting himself admire the way his messed up strawberry blond curls slid to one side of his head. "Are you jealous?" he blurted out honestly interested. He couldn't help it as it puzzled him a bit why Corey wanted to know that. He never really asked about his relationship with Kiichi before.
"No. Not really. I allowed it. I'm a bit more... disappointed and saddened that I had lost Kiichi probably forever... He deserves better than me, though..." he murmured the last sentence more to himself. "Food is coming," Jim watched a shadow moving across the outside of the panels.
The small samurai turned red and pressed his lips together looking back at Jim. "No... I was just asking to know what bothers you, my Lord," Corey replied. "Maybe a little bit jealous too... Because…" he turned even redder and lowered his eyes "because he could serve you for all these years more than I could," he confessed, thinking he shouldn't hide things before Jim after all the love he expressed earlier.
The servant girl came in and put the tray down to his saving before he could embarrass himself even more.
Jim waited until it was just the two of them again and adjusted his robe as he sat next to Corey to taste the tuna. "It's delicious," he praised the samurai after swallowing.
He also secretly found him damn cute when he flushed like that. But he loved it even more when he was flushed from lust and sex. Something Jim was planning on seeing again after they ate and maybe rested a bit.
"You're cute," the Shogun expressed his previous thought more or less, even chuckling a bit. "He did serve me well, yes. But he's very different from you. In many meanings. Maybe the Captain is his real match. He seems happy on his side... don't you think?" he asked with a small bitter smile as Jim continued eating.
"Yes. He seems happy with the Captain," Corey said with a nod and noticed the bitter smile. Maybe the Shogun will always want Kiichi more over him. His sadness crept onto his flushed face too as he thanked the compliment on the sushi and the Shogun calling him cute... For gods know what reason.
"Maybe… maybe you won't lose him fully. Give it time, my Lord. "
"Just what I thought, yes..." Jim sighed and ate another sushi. "And we'll see. I'll come back to this topic once things calmed down a bit and he healed some too," he murmured then looked at Corey, seeing on his face that something was off.
"What is it? Tell me," he asked without the usual demanding undertone in his voice. It was fairly new for the Shogun to open up to someone this much. He was taught to keep his thoughts to himself to avoid letting his words to be exploited or Jim to be attacked based on them.
"Would you want him to serve you again? Can you tell me what it is in which we are different for you?" Corey finally asked low. "I'm sorry. I just... would like to know it. I've told you how important you are to me, and that I want to be close to you. So... I’d just like to know these... Please…" he even moved to touch Jim's knee, raising his eyes at him. Not having any bad intentions or blame in his gaze, just a touch of sadness and hope with pure interest. He was an open book before the Shogun. He bared his whole being to him, also his soul and spirit, and just had to know what the big man will do with it now.
The Shogun was a bit surprised from the direct questions, but he reminded himself that this man loved him – maybe even worshiped him to some extent so Jim guessed Corey deserved answers to his questions.
"I don't know. He'd probably try to reject me again and I don't want that to happen," the Shogun hummed, finishing his food and placing the chopsticks down.
"The differences... It's not just about your appearances. It's your nature too. He's calmer and quieter most of the time while you're loud and fierce," he chuckled, fondly caressing Corey's face. He noticed how vulnerable and young the redhead looked in that moment and... in a twisted way it was arousing to Jim.
"He's also... well, how to put it..." he paused for a moment or two to search for the words, his hand sliding down on Corey's neck to stroke along a collarbone and the bare chest that was visible between the looser edges of the robe. "Not like you in bed. He's not pushy or vocal that much. He obeys right away and without hesitation, but not as responsive like you..." Jim paused again to play with one of the nipples under the silky robe.
"I guess he just takes it and doesn't need me like you do... He likes being tied up too but neither he, nor anyone else liked me to go so rough on them like I can with you..." the Shogun mused, reaching down to open the robe and keep caressing all that naked skin. "And then there's that certain reason stemming from his past... which made me taking him satisfy my darker side..."
"You have to know though..." the Shogun added pensively "that the reason why I've kept you more away all these years was because you... you trigger that side of me even more and... I didn't want to lose control," he leaned in to kiss along Corey's jaw line while his long fingers wrapped around the filling shaft.
Corey closed his eyes and parted his lips breathing heavier from the touches over his body. The words moved him deeply and his hand reached up to hold the nape of Jim. He pulled him even closer by it, demanding more body contact.
"You and your fire makes me feel alive... Your darker side and rough ways only make me feel wanted…" he panted caressing the robe off Jim's body too as he moaned from the skilled fingers jerking him.
