Indecent Exposure (Private)(18+)

[Sathenus]

"I've asked myself a bunch of 'what if' questions before but no, I've never decided or tried to change this in the future to make some sort of improvement." This was all a confusing concept to Kario. He was sure the confusion showed on his face. How could something that happened in the past offer any type of improvement person or otherwise in the future? It just didn't make sense. He was trying, desperately trying to understand how something like that would not only be possible but relevant. But to Kario, it just wasn't. It wasn't relevant to look into his past, ask himself a bunch of what if questions and then try to use that experience or mistake to improve his future. Of course, he did learn from his mistakes and was confident he would not repeat them again especially now that he had Devon in his life to help keep him moving in a positive direction.

 

"But... how can villages like that even survive completely unphased by the world around them? Isn't it impossible?" He asked truly curious about this concept and completely forgetting about what they had discussed just moments earlier. This was far more interesting to him than mistakes and future improvements. It made him truly curious how many of these villages could actually be out there, not just in their country but also in the world itself. It still raised the question of how it was even possible for them to stay so... untouched by the modern world. Being a gay man in such a village had to have been a nightmare, so it was understandable that he had moved to the city when he had been kicked out. But it made him question why he had not tried to leave earlier. How long had the older man been shamed for who he was before being kicked out? To long if you asked him, but he knew that this was still not something that directly concerned him either. It concerned him for future generations of men born in the village or any like it that turned out to be gay. But again there wasn't really anything he could about it either accept hope that maybe in the future they would be more open to such a thing. Though he doubted it.

 

The arms that wrapped around him and held his body close to his boyfriend's as they kissed made Kario smile into the kiss. When it broke and he had spoke telling Devon how he wouldn't feel uncomfortable doing that with him he saw the expression that crossed the older man's face. He absolutely loved the shine that was in his lover's eyes and the truly happy expression that crossed his face. Taken by surprise by the sudden way he was pulled into a greedy kissed it took him a moment for his mind to focus and for him to be able to return it. But he did return it rather eagerly allowing his eyes to drift shut his own arms rather strongly wrapped around the blonde's neck. He definitely missed them being able to kiss all day, and this kiss in particular seemed to make his heart flutter. When it broke he listened to Devon speak, the husky sound of his voice only seemed to make what he said even more pleasing to hear. "I love you too, so much." He murmured before he dipped his head back down for another kiss.

 

After parting this kiss he just allowed himself to relax with Devon, glancing up as the man chucked and cuddled him. There was no stopping the laugh that escaped him at his lover's words, but he was sure that the man was actually right. They probably would end up having fun doing so, but he was sure it was bound to be amusing as well. It was clear that neither one of them had shopped for such things before, so to do so now would certainly be an interesting experience. But at least they would be doing it together which would make the whole experience a lot less embarrassing and uncomfortable.

 

The hands on his neck made him look into Devon's golden eyes as their foreheads were resting against each other. It was clear he was unsure about what was going to be said, and when Devon did speak he found himself still unsure. It was odd, to think after so long that someone wanted to face his pain and problems with him instead of wanting him to face them alone. Hearing that it would worry his lover more to not know what he was facing also came as a foreign concept to Kario who was struggling to not only understand but accept that Devon truly cared in this manner. "I guess... I'm just not used to having someone in my life anymore that cares and wants to face those things with me." Kario said his voice making it clear it was still a very hard concept for him. But if Devon was being honest with him -which after their talk he figured he was- then he would let his lover face these things with him.

 

A sigh was his response when Devon started to explain to him that it wasn't that easy and it wasn't how an addiction worked. Unfortunately, Kario had already known before hand that it didn't work that way, it didn't stop him from wishing that it did. He wanted to be stronger than this, to defeat it as though it was nothing at all. But that just wasn't the case, he just couldn't quit like this. He would have to take a different path and stop trying to force his body to accept that it would not be getting what it needed. But maybe he could get it to accept and come down to getting what it wanted it needed in small doses that wouldn't compromise getting it back to a normal level. Being broken from his thoughts his dark eyes locked back with his lover's golden gaze when Devon continued to speak telling him how he had already made it quite clear that he was incredibly strong willed. He just... really wanted to beat this. The praise he got for already making it through one day without sex did make him feel good, but he had caught onto something else that Devon had said instead. That maybe it had been to much for the first day. His body was readily agreeing to that as even the thought of sex made it ache more and made him curl against his lover's body more.

 

Kario's head had fallen to rest on Devon's chest by this point and when the man spoke again he tilted his head back so their gazes could meet again. He was sure the look in his eyes gave away what he was truly feeling even if his face had taken on a more neutral expression. He was already sure that he couldn't take anymore, but his will to not give in to it was strong. "I don't think... it'd help." He said using a little more effort than he had thought it would take to even get that out. His mind had gone wild already at just the mention of sex, making his body crave it more. But he knew that even if he did touch himself it would ease his body's need for sex, but not enough to make much of a difference and it wasn't like he was going to touch himself for hours without stop to get his body the true relief it needed. At the same time he knew Devon wasn't up or capable of relieving him either, and he didn't mind that at all. He'd find another way. "Maybe I'll just... soak in the tub for a bit later and see if that will at least ease my tension. It's better than nothing." He suggested instead still determined to keep his body on the path it was on. Until he truly couldn't handle it anymore, or until convinced that the way he was going about it was the wrong way. The latter was probably the least likely one to happen, as he was sure his body would get the best of him before anyone was truly able to convince him that just ignoring it and dealing with it wasn't a good idea.

 

"Unfortunately you're probably right." He mused knowing that Devon's presence probably wouldn't have the same effect as just being with family did with his father. It was such a shame that it wouldn't though. Maybe some day it would be though? That was certainly an appealing thought, to think his father would not only accept Devon but truly enjoy his presence like that of his family was something Kario couldn't help but hope for. When he was questioned if he had ever seen him drink whisky or any alcohol he thought about it for a moment. "Around the holiday's I suppose. At least that was the only time he ever did so in front of us kids, so I can't say it would be a bad route to take. At the very least it may help us learn what other things he likes." His father really was a harder person to find a gift for than his mother was. It was at the very least better than nothing considering Devon was intent on getting them a gift in general. "Though making my mother happy would probably give you good points with my father anyway." He added with a small shrug.

 

Unable to stop himself from laughing he gave his lover an amused look. "I don't know, I think your body looks even better than most twenty year olds. You may not be able to fight getting older, but your body is doing a damn good job at hiding it." The younger man said with an appreciative smirk on his face and eyes raking once more over his lover's extremely desirable body.

 

The actual concern that Devon shared with him about his father made much more sense than the threat itself bothering him. Even if an amused smirk had spread across his face hearing that his lover had been tempted to play shy just to see him fight for him. Kario certainly would fight for him too if the man had or did do so, but he knew that wouldn't be necessary in this case either. "But don't all if not most father's see the people their children are with as possible threats to their children? They just want what is best and don't want their kids to get hurt. It's nothing personal, but just how he is. But I know you would never hurt me, and that's the most important thing of all." He replied. Kario didn't want this to bother his lover either, he wanted Devon to be relaxed and to go in thinking that his parents without a doubt would love him and there would be nothing negative to happen. "I am so sure that you and my father will get along and have a peaceful day with my mother and I as a family. I don't want you to worry to much about it. I don't see how my parents wouldn't be able to like you." Kario added after a moment a loving look in his own eyes. He really couldn't see any reason why his parents wouldn't like Devon, and he refused to believe that there was a chance that they truly may not like him.

 

His lover breathing his words into his ear once more made a pleased him escape him, his smirk still planted firmly on his face at the words and the way his boyfriend playfully bit his earlobe. What he breathed into his ear after and was again followed by laughter made his smirk become rather dirty. "And that is incredibly hard." He teased his lover once more. It really wasn't any of his father's concern how hard his lover's dick got for him, but that didn't mean he wasn't able to tease the man about it. Considering he knew all to well just how hard the other got for him. It was a pleasing thought, and he had all he could do to keep his hands on his lover's torso and not to move south and tempt the other's member to show just how right he was.

 

The next question made his smirk fall as he fell into a fit of laughter, and it took him a moment to be able to get a grasp of himself again. "Oh my... I am positive they won't need to ask that question, they'll probably already know." He replied clearly amused at the prospect of such a question. Kario truly felt that anyone who saw the pair would be able to tell which role they took in bed, and even if they didn't it truly wasn't any of their business. So when his lover had mentioned that and how he felt they'd take it if he said such a thing made his smile grow. "It doesn't matter how they would feel if you told them it isn't any of their business if they do decide to ask. As it isn't, and if they can't already tell than they certainly don't need to know. Even if they were able to, we have no obligation to confirm it for them." The other part of what he said seemed more like something his brother would ask than either of his parents. That was even before his brother had been on drugs, because he specifically recalled the man saying something along those lines before when he had seen a gay couple in their neighborhood. "I truly do not believe my parents would ask that, my brother on the other hand would probably not only ask but insist that was how our relationship must work. But yes, it is more than okay for you to explain if it does come up that there are no women in a gay relationship."

 

Unable to help himself he rolled his eyes a little amused at the way his lover joked this time. It wasn't the first time Devon had said something like that and it was an amusing prospect. Hearing that Devon could imagine the small change he had made to his original fantasy made him smile happily. It was much more likely than him joining the youth organization of his party because he had fallen for the man's politics even if he was sure that Devon liked that one much better. He wasn't expecting the cheeky look he received and what was said next. He gave the older man a curious look though, as he did think it over for a moment. "Oh I don't know... I mean... other than you, what could your party possibly offer me?" He asked in a tone that was as teasing as it was considerate of the of the offer. Even though he knew it would make it more believable if he did actually join the man's party, he felt like he already had all they could offer him since he had the governor himself.

 

The response he got from his lover after he pressed a gentle kiss to the other's neck was pleasing. Even watching as Devon seemed to automatically tilt his head to make more space for him to continue to do so. That... was an extremely tempting offer and he found himself unable to refuse it as his lips found their way back to the older man's neck. "Hmm... I'll do my best not to make you hard love..." He whispered as he continued to let his lips rove over the other's neck. He couldn't help it, but he would do his best to not make the man he loved hard, if for no other reason than because he still had a point to prove to himself and wanted to at least make it through tonight without sex before giving in. "If I do make you hard I will of course take care of it for you though... I wouldn't be that cruel even if I'm trying to prove something to myself." He breathed over the other's neck. If he did accidentally make Devon hard, he would take care of it and not leave the man he loved wanting. But he was still going to do his best to not make him hard to begin with.

 

When he did give the man's neck a break and had returned to just resting against him, the hand running through the black strands of his hair was relaxing and he nuzzled into the older man's chest a pleased hum escaping him. Especially considering how aroused he was, and how much he really was craving more. Being told that he too was to sexy for both of their goods. "That certainly would make use both even." Kario agreed with a smile, his eyes darting up to notice that his lover had stuck his tongue out to him. That made it so he couldn't help it, his body moving before he even realized he was doing it and pressing their lips together in a deep and needy kiss. He couldn't control himself when he was with the blonde, and he definitely couldn't control himself when the man was being so tempting.

 

 

The thanks he got from Devon made him give his lover a small nod, but he didn't miss the way that his lover's eyes seemed to be trying to read his own. There wasn't anything the man was going to find though, Kario's emotions seemed to have detached themselves for the moment and he wasn't really sure what he felt anymore. At least not as far as this situation itself went, so it was without a word and rather quietly that he had returned to his spot on the couch.

 

His gaze moved away from the two after he had gotten comfortable on the couch again, trying to find somewhere else to focus not wanting to watch them. When he heard Devon rather clearly and strongly object to him canceling and rescheduling their plans with his parents, his gaze snapped back to his lover locking on him once more. The couch that he gave after saying that was followed by the man continued to speak explaining to him that it wouldn't be necessary. The way the older man tried to reassure him probably didn't do as well as it was supposed to in doing just that. Not because he didn't see his lover's plans working out but because he truly felt it would take more than ten minutes with his father. Even if he refused to negotiate or argue with the man about this matter. It didn't mean his father wouldn't insist and that becoming exactly what they ended up doing. But there wasn't any point in arguing against it either because he could clearly see how intent Devon was in keeping the plans they had already made.

 

What he wasn't expecting was the sound that came from Mei, his eyes being drawn to her for the first time in awhile. What she said was oddly a little pleasing even if his face didn't show it. At least she was capable of thinking of more than just the fear that had been caused by the threats she had received from his lover's father. But at the same time he knew that she may only be feeling so strongly about this clashing a little with already made plans because she was pregnant which was probably much more likely. Instantly Devon had chimed in to try to calm her again, and it made Kario himself so damn glad that he was gay and couldn't get a woman pregnant. He would not be able to tolerate this being an every day sort of thing. How could any guy handle it? It had been what? Maybe fifteen or twenty minutes and he already had enough. He didn't miss the way Devon's eyes kept darting from him to Mei and back again, and it made him wonder what the other was thinking about though he didn't ask.

 

"But it is already stressing you out, love." Kario said to his lover's words, this time his eyes softened and with it his face. Clearly he cared for Devon and the man's mental state as well as stress levels as he watched him. He wanted to make sure that his boyfriend had a good day, and he was happy that Devon wanted to make sure that they had a good day with each other. At the same time though he still didn't want Devon to take on too much for their first weekend together. "This is... important after all. Why don't we just take it one part at a time. We'll go see your father and you can have your talk with him and after we will see how you're feeling and if seeing my parents is still something you're up for. Being stressed out won't be good for you meeting my parents for the first time anyway." Kario chimed in. He knew that if Devon became to stressed after speaking with his father that his parents would be able to see that when they visited after picking up their gifts. His lover being stressed out during their first meeting wasn't going to be a good thing, especially since he knew meeting a lover's parents could be a stressful enough situation.

 

And then there was Mei who seemed to have flipped back to anger when Devon had referred to his father as a schoolyard bully. It took all Kario could do not to sigh and roll his eyes, instead he stretched himself out on the couch and got more comfortable since Devon was still by her side. Kario had practically zoned out on the two again, not really caring for their conversations. He didn't care what was going on between them right now and it certainly didn't concern him. This was something between the two of them, something that had to be dealt with. So placing one arm under his head he let the other wrap around his waist and turned his head to face the back of the couch as his eyes fell shut. Now that he was just relaxing there he let his mind wander of what tomorrow meant for them if Devon really was feeling up to and determined to see his parents. It was going to be a very important meeting after all, since he had already met Devon's parents. Sure only one of them even liked him and thought anything positive of him, but it was better than nothing after all.

 

It wasn't until he heard the ring he was beginning to associate with someone being at the front gate requiring approval before being able to enter the property that he slowly turned his head to face the two just as Devon indicated that it was their food and hence she should be heading home to her husband. This was a pleasing thought to Kario, one because he had gotten quite hungry during this time, and two because it meant that Devon would be all his once more. He was just watching the two now as they continued to speak though at this point he still wasn't paying attention to what was being said. It wasn't until Devon motioned for him to accompany them to the door that he sat up and slipped off the couch. Following the two quietly and clearly walking a bit behind them as he still wasn't interested anymore in what they were saying and the two were occupied with each other anyway. When the two finally said their goodbyes before she had turned back to him once more. He took her hand again as they said a quick goodbye to each other watching as she finally stepped out and the door closed behind her only for Devon to open the gate for the delivery car and turn towards him immediately after doing so.

 

The arm wrapping around his waist wasn't really surprising, nor was the hand stroking his cheek as their gazes locked. What was surprising was the way the man seemed to be examining his expression, was it giving something away? He wasn't sure, or maybe that was the problem? It occurred to him that Devon hadn't seen him be distant or unemotional because when he was with the governor that just wasn't possible. When the blonde's head rested on his shoulder he reached up letting his fingers soothingly run through the blonde strands once more, his other arm wrapped itself around his lover's shoulder. "Why would I be mad?" He asked in response to the odd question. He didn't feel like there was any reason whatsoever for him to be made with his lover. What was said next made a small frown cross his face, not because he doubted that Devon would truly stand up for him with his father but because he didn't like the idea that the blonde's father thought such a behavior was acceptable to begin with. That was pushed from his mind for a moment with what Devon said next though, his eyes locking on the other's.

 

"Devon... I would love you no matter what, even if you were poor and had no money to your name. Money doesn't mean anything to me, and your father wouldn't be able to tempt me to leave you with such a method, or any method. I love you, far to much to let anyone take you from me." He replied his voice taking on a tone that made it clear this was a promise to his lover. He was promising that he would never let anyone convince him to leave him, or let anyone come between them. Devon was his, and Kario was going to hold on to that for as long as Devon wanted him as well. If the day ever came that the governor decided he did not want him anymore, then he would let him go. Even if it was with great reluctance. Until that day, Devon was his and no one and nothing could ever change that.

 

Then he decided to backtrack to what Devon had said about not letting his father threaten or hurt him without consequence. "I already know your father doesn't like me, and I am sure he has already heard from your mother that you aren't keeping me under contract as your butler but that we are actually together which means he probably looks down on me even more than he did before. But... that's okay." He pulled the blonde's head up away from his shoulder so their gazes could meet. "He can threaten me, or even hurt me as much as he wants, because I'm not going anywhere. He can hate me, or see me as less than human. I'm not here to please your father, and I don't care what he thinks of me or how he treats me. As long as I have you by my side, anything he could ever say or do wouldn't matter to me." Kario wanted Devon to truly understand how much he loved him, how much he wanted to be with him and that nothing would stand between them. Not even his father who had already made it clear what he thought of him once, and who probably only thought even less of him now.

 

Even if the man's words would hurt anytime he spoke down to him, Kario could bear that knowing that Devon was at his side. Knowing that the governor loved him for who he was and didn't think of him the same way his father did. That was what mattered. Their rather heavy conversation and the emotions that had to be running wild for both of them was broken by a knock on the door making Kario chuckle as he knew it was their food. He leaned up and pressed a quick but deep kiss to his lover's lips. "Food's here. Let's take care of this and feed you. No more worrying about your father tonight or the threats he has made to Mei. Leave that for morning." He murmured on his lover's lips before pulling back so Devon could get the door.

[-Hideki-]

It was quite obvious to him that Kario got confused by what he was suggesting there as the other apparently couldn’t wrap his head around the idea of suddenly realising that something one had done in the past had actually been a mistake for the first time though one had not thought about it as a mistake before and would then go and analyse the situation to figure out what exactly to change and do different in the future. Though it didn’t confuse Devon when the other said that he had thought about his past before too, a lot actually, but that nothing productive nor a conclusion had ever come from it did surprised him at least a bit actually. “If there was nothing that you took from it, no conclusion, no inspiration nor an improvement in the end than it doesn’t lead anywhere of course.” He said looking rather focussed as he liked such discussions.

However it seemed that his boyfriend wasn’t that interested in those kind of conversations and the question whether the past and already lived moments could be still useful and of value in any way when they were gone or whether the past was basically worthless, in all points irrelevant and uninteresting as soon as the moment had passed as Sven had argued who had told Ashfield:” Don’t look back ever, you’ll spare yourself to look into an utter mess for nothing. You’ll start to bother about something that in the present doesn’t even exist, that isn’t even real anymore and hence is merely a story in your head, not more reachable or relevant than fiction is.”

 

What did interest his young lover though was the thought about a village like the one Jeff had grown up in and when he asked about it the governor could see actual interest in the black haired male’s eyes. “Well, it’s not like they won’t come into contact with their surroundings and with the modern ways of living. It’s also not like they would be unaware of it, they do know how a modern life looks like but they not only refuse it, they condemn it and look down on it, they find that it is not the right way. So they usually do their own thing in their own small community.” He tried to explain it though Jeff could do it much better than him for sure. “Jeff wasn’t even allowed to have a TV or any modern technology for that matter as his mother deemed it bad influence and that it would poison him and that those kinds of technologies would be used to plant the seed of evil into people.” Ashfield told him what his ex-boyfriend had let him know about this. “When his sister caught him kissing another boy when he was fifteen and it got confirmed to his parents that he was really gay as they had feared and that their shaming and fear mongering throughout his childhood hadn’t prevented this they kicked him out. And he told me that even though he then was a fifteen years old boy on the streets of a city that was foreign to him the one feeling that was stronger than his existential fear was the fascination in regards to the technology and he got obsessed with it and his obsession led him to the profession he has now.” Devon told the other with a smile and then added. “But he can speak about and describe this much better than I can. It’s his experiences, not mine after all.”

 

A melancholic smile crossed his face when his young boyfriend told him that he was not used to having someone in his life who wanted to share his life with him and face those things together with him anymore as he could relate. He could relate all too well. “Neither am I.” he told him. “I have never known that at all actually until I have been with Jeff who as I told you before was my first actual boyfriend with deep feelings and a bond involved and he showed me how a relationship could be and how unconditioned companionship and love worked. And when I let him go it didn’t take long for me to miss that. To miss having someone to share everything and not just the successes with! Someone being there at all times.” he confessed his cheeks flushing red as he was admitting that, admitting that he had emotional needs to begin with, what was what he had been shamed for whenever he had shown something like that during his childhood. Devon took both of the other’s hands and interlocked their fingers. “And I was really glad to have found you and about the prospect of sharing my life with you and you sharing yours with me…” he said his face looking like a frigging tomato as he looked somewhere else to unsuccessfully hide his blushed face from his lover.

 

His lover’s body and how it curled against him after he had mentioned that it might have been too much and that there was no shame in touching himself or getting the politician involved to relieve him, as well as how lusty and longing his eyes were proved what Devon had said right, it was too much at this point and the blond feared that it would keep the other man from getting any sleep at all that night. Keep him from finding some ease and being able to relax and calm down as that body had been aching and heated the whole damn day already. Hence a deep sigh came from him and he raised an eyebrow when the other said that it wouldn’t help him to orgasm trying to convince Ashfield or much rather himself that he didn’t need sex and could still keep going like this. Though the governor approved about his lover’s ambition and how determined he was he also worried and had his doubts about how he was going about this. “I don’t think that anything I could say could make you realise otherwise but please don’t torture yourself and promise me that you’ll ask me for help or at least grant yourself some relieve when it gets even worse!” he responded not able to completely hide his concerns.

When the man suggested to try soaking in the bathtub for a while to get at least some ease he nodded. “Feel free to do so at any time. You can also always use the bathing house, the pool and the sauna downstairs.” The blond encouraged him as it might be that the other was still a little hesitant to use what was in the mansion to his liking as he had only been in the mansion for two days now.

 

Relive was to see on his face when Kario told him that he had seen his father drink some during the holiday season. “Splendid. Then the whisky it is. He can easily keep it for the holiday season too.” The blond decided and was glad that this was something he could get the other man. Since his boyfriend didn’t know what the man liked it would have gotten rather complicated then. He smiled at the black haired male when he stated that making his mother happy would grant him good points with his father anyway. “Then I might just as well try to double the good points.” The politician said with a grin. It was cute though to think that it was like a gift for the other’s father to see his wife happy. His parents were both the types who liked to be the centre of attention. And whenever someone paid attention to his mother and left his dad out the old man was getting grumpy and started to dislike the person who didn’t pay him the attention and the respect he deserved.

 

There was no hiding how good it made Ashfield feel and how proud he got when his young lover told him that his body was better than that of most twenty years old’s and that it did a good job at hiding his actual age. Sure Devon was aware that he was a handsome man and also that his body had looked even better before but hearing this from Kario just made him beam like a child on Christmas Day. It only got better when the black haired let his brown eyes check out the body that was under his suit. “I’d say undress me for real already instead of just with your eyes but we’re going to have an unwanted guest and you are determined to prove a point anyway.” The governor jested looking into the younger male’s stunning eyes.

 

When Kario argued that most fathers saw the people their children were with as possible threats because they didn’t want their kids to get hurt and that it was nothing personal Ashfield thought for a moment. “Well, my father doesn’t care so much about me getting hurt. He just assumes no one could be into me for me and that people are solely after our money. What he cares about is the corporation and the family name. And it’s usually getting personal too.” The blond concluded but it certainly wasn’t a shock that this didn’t really apply to his old man.

It lightened up his mood again to hear that his lover knew that he would never hurt him and that he was certain that they would get along just fine and they all could have a nice day together. “Maybe you’re right and I worry too much because of how my own parents are.” He guessed.

 

The dirty grin on his face got wider when his cute lover hummed as he bit his earlobe and how a dirty smirk appeared on the other’s face too when he made sure to emphasise just how incredibly hard Devon got for him. “Indeed. Like a rod of steel.” He whispered seductively beginning to nibble on the young man’s jaw.

 

He was still grinning widely when Kario was bursting out into laughter after he had mentioned the possibility of someone from his family asking them who of them was the top and who was the bottom. The statement that the black haired didn’t think that they had to ask that as they probably could tell followed and maybe the other was right and they actually could. “Smith couldn’t though. He thought I was bottoming too and that I would shave my arse what was quite amusing. I suppose he thinks that every single gay guy is versatile and shaves his complete body hair off.” The blond informed the other about the conversation he had had with the bodyguard in the morning.

A nod came from the governor when the black haired said that it didn’t matter how they’d take it and that it was fine to tell them it was none of their business if they asked those kinds of questions. “Good. I could have put the same statement into other words if they were the easily offended types.” The blond said as it could have been that the young man thought that he should go about it more diplomatically. He was also glad that the other found it acceptable if he criticised it if anyone asked who the man was and who the woman. “I’m glad that I can as I wouldn’t want to come off like I was a smartass or as condescending or something.”

 

Devon was taken completely by surprise when Kario’s response to the offer of joining his party was a curious look and a question that let it shine thought that there was at least a small part that considered it though he was definitely teasing the governor. “There is no denying that with me you already have the best part of the whole party, that’s obvious, only an idiot would deny that.” he agreed smirking widely. “But it still offers good politics, the possibility of your very own political career, making your voice heard and shaping the nations politics, you can form important connections there too that can lead to great opportunities for your career and future that don’t have to have anything to do with politics, you can find new friends that aren’t a bad influence if you cut out Tailor and the sorts and there are the parties, great and civilised ones.” He mentioned some examples his face looking a little like that of a cars salesman trying to sell him a luxurious car with a lot of extras like a heater for the steering wheel and other unnecessary gadgets.

 

Instantly he started to relax again when the other was getting his lips back onto his neck and was continuing to press kisses to it. He closed his eyes again to focus on the feeling and it did ease him to be caressed and kissed like that after that annoying day. “Good.” He said when Kario was promising him to try to not get him hard while he kissed and touched him. What followed made him open one eye and blink towards the young man though. “But won’t it arouse you even more than your body currently already is if you took care about me then?” he asked. “If you truly want to not give in to your bodies cravings I think that you shouldn’t make it even more difficult for yourself. If you accidentally make me hard I’ll quickly take care of it myself.” He said and closed that eye again leaning back and letting his hand run over his lover’s back hoping for the other to kiss and touch him some more.

 

Ashfield found himself in a deep kiss after he had stuck his tongue out to the other and when his arms automatically wrapped around the dark haired man, he was pressing him close and indulging in the kiss putting his own fire into it, his tongue not letting off of the black haired male’s since at least their tongues could touch each other intensely, there was an undeniable neediness and longing in the way the young man kissed him. Devon certainly liked how passionate it was, how they were close to devouring each other and losing themselves in that kiss that was the man’s body telling him clearly how he craved him and it was impossible to keep his hands solely on the other’s back and not letting them touch and grab his boyfriend, instinctively pushing his crotch against the black haired man’s as he felt it starting to tingle down there again. That kiss left him breathless and he gasped for air when it broke looking at the horny young man whose heat was close to lighting a flame in him too and making him want more as well. “You can kiss me like that all the time, always and ever.” The politician said with a shaky breath feeling the impulse to drag the other into another kiss regardless of how heavy he breathed. “I’d like to continue this but I won’t. You really expect quite some discipline from me, I can tell you that.” he said laughing.

 

 

Though he had tried to figure out what Kario was thinking, what was going on in him several times there was nothing on his face and even his eyes seemed empty. The man almost reminded him about a screen that had suddenly gone blank and he really wondered and worried what was up with him as it was certain to him that something bugged the man and he must have been incredibly displeased. The first time that something appeared on his lover’s face was when his eyes and face softened after Ashfield had declared he wouldn’t let his father and his threats stress him out and ruin their day. The black haired objected and said that it was already stressing him out but Ashfield shook his head. It wasn’t his father, his threats, Mei’s threats of publishing it or the situation described to him but the fact that after a workday from early in the morning to 10pm in the night that had been incredibly annoying and hence stressful to him as he had constantly found his private life under attack there was a pregnant woman in his house who was like a ticking time bomb because she was overly sensitive and highly emotional during to the pregnancy hormones and he had to try to reassure her that her life and her baby weren’t in danger to get her out of the house and then solve this issue presented to him in all calmness in the morning after a fair share of sleep. But he could not just tell Kario that it was actually Mei and her presence that kept him from relaxing after his exhausting day that was stressing him out in the moment not the situation itself because then Mei would either throw a tantrum or start to cry again because he blamed it on her or both at the same time.

 

So he tried to explain it to the other in another way. “No. I’m stressed out at the moment because of all the bullshit unprofessional things put together that I had to deal with today and I am exhausted and tired and this right now is just the tip of the iceberg that is a little too much.” The governor stated. “But let me get some sleep and I’ll be brand new and clarifying this with my father won’t be much of a problem even though it’s him. It won’t stress me out, this alone by far is not enough to stress me out though I am not thrilled of going there. If this was enough to stress me out I’d not be fit for my job which is indeed stressful. I am the guy who gets called in the middle of a night to end a riot where people set shit on fire, chase other people through the streets and call for murdering policemen. And I successfully deal with this. Convincing my father to not threaten her anymore will be a piece of cake compared to that because I already know how to convince him that it is in his best interest.” He explained to the young man why he really didn’t need to worry. “I do appreciate that you are that considerate and concerned about me though, it’s really sweet of you. And if you’ll have a better feeling we can say that we leave the final decision until I finished the talk with my father in the morning though I know that this won’t ruin our plans and I’ll be as calm as can be considering that I am meeting your parents for the first time. Agreed?” The blond man suggested.

 

As soon as their dialogue had ended and Mei got involved again the black haired went back to apathetic and even stretched himself out all over the couch and turned his head away from the both of them letting them face his back. Devon quickly looked away to pretend that didn’t just happen but Mei had caught on it regardless and it was clear that she thought that this was bad manners and rude even. This was not how it usually worked when there was a guest, even an unwanted one, if the guest was technically a stranger what Mei was. Kario had never seen her before and the politician himself had no ties to her anymore as well and it had been years since their divorce. There was no way that would have demonstrated a more open disinterest and it was kind of like a ‘Fuck you’ or ‘Leave already’ for the person visiting. Ashfield interpreted this behaviour as a form of protest and tried to understand what the man’s issue was and what he wanted to achieve with this or what he wanted to tell him by doing this now. He himself was not keen on having Mei in his mansion during that hour but he still couldn’t act impolite towards her.

 

After he had approached the other he had feared that Kario would shove him away or turn around and show him his back again so he was relieved that he could feel the man’s fingers running through his hair as he let his head rest on the other’s shoulder. The governor looked up at him when he asked why he would be mad. “I don’t know Kario, you seemed to be as you’ve been that well, demonstratively apathetic this whole time and it made me think that something was off and you were displeased though I couldn’t tell what was going on inside you. And then you turned your back on us what was well, odd to say the least.” He spoke and sighed. “So if you aren’t mad at me, what’s been the matter then other than that she was annoying and exhausting?” the blond asked curiously.

 

A greater relieve than he had ever expected was shooting through his entire body and he just realised how happy it made him feel that the other saw no value in money. Promising that he’d never take such an offer and that he’d even love him if he was poor! It obviously wouldn’t happen and Devon would certainly get into a deep existential crisis where he would not be able to accept being poor if it ever was to happen but that statement was going against all the fears that had been ingrained into him by his father. That the most desirable about him was his money and that people wanted to be with him for that reason. Right when the other had stopped speaking his arms tightened around the man’s whole body and he was cuddling the other in his arms holding him tight. “I love you too. And I won’t ever let you go.” He said locking lips with the other claiming him through a passionate kiss.

 

Devon’s expression darkened. “No, it’s not okay. My father should not treat you poorly much less hurt you.” He made it very clear and took the other’s face between his hands. “I care about how he treats you and how you are treated in general and I won’t tolerate anyone mistreating you, not in the slightest. You only deserve the best because you are the best.” Ashfield said and kissed the young man’s face on his forehead, then his cheek and then his lips. It made his heart flutter when the other had said that nothing could ever tear them apart from each other but as much as this made the butterflies in his stomach run wild the fact that the other had said it was okay if his father viewed and treated him like shit was okay bothered him and made him unhappy as it really was not okay and things would get incredibly ugly between him and his father if the old man would continuously insult or be a bully to the young man whom the governor was deeply in love with. He wanted his father to at least treat the black haired with basic human decency.

 

Not only Kario’s expression lit up, Ashfield’s did as well as he heard the doorbell ring knowing that it was their food this time. His stomach rumbled while they were exchanging a quick kiss and the blond nearly stormed towards the door opening it. A brunette man with a handsome face was standing in front of the door a large box with their food in hand. He was about Kario’s age and when he saw Devon he smiled. “Governor Ashfield. How’s it going?” he asked and the blond smiled back at him nodding. “Hello Diego, good I’d say.” He said pulling his purse out of his pocket. “How is university going for you?” the blond asked the young man about whom he knew quite some stuff already as he at least saw him once a week for three years now and they had had quite some conversations. “Great, great! I got a B recently though as I was working too much you know. Have to keep my shit together. I have to say though it’s kind of ironic that I deliver food in order to never deliver food again in the future.” He answered seemingly unbothered and totally up for a chat though he had more deliveries to make. “At least you know what you are doing that for and that your hard work will pay off.” The blond assured the young man. “Sure thing. Wait a few years and were neighbours.” The brunette man said half jokingly, half seriously and Devon chuckled. “I’ll be looking forward to it.” He said with an encouraging smile and after the delivery guy had nodded his eyes recognised the second person for the first time.

 

“Hey, yo!” he exclaimed looking towards Kario. “Aren’t you that naked guy from the photo?” he asked obviously amazed by it. “Shit man, that’s like totally awesome.” Diego found and looked at the young man his own age stunned. “Now my sister owes me fifty bucks! She said you were definitely just some whore and that you would never live with him and that it was just a strategy for the governor to not get roasted. But I was like ‘Nah, I know the guy, he’s decent, if he says so, it’s how it is. And look at this.” He was completely focussed on Kario now and couldn’t see the awkward expression on Ashfield’s face nor that he had already gotten the money out of the purse. “She probably just said it because she wished it was true as she’s jealous.” He then added talking like he had all the time in the world. “You’re a really lucky dude you know that?” the student asked and then added. “He is like totally popular with the womenfolk, they love him. Like both my mum and my sister would like instantly marry him.” He said. “It’s kinda ironic if you think about it as he wants men to love him and not women.” Diego laughed. “But I love him too, no homo though.” He then stated looking at both of them now. “Hah, this is great.” The man then said and Devon coughed. “Diego, don’t you have other people waiting for their food too. We can talk another time.” The blond tried to tame the young man’s euphoria about this a little. “Right, right. Totally distracted.” He admitted and then gave the box to the billionaire in exchange for the money with a large tip. “Thanks man. You’re like totally the best!” he said as he was stepping down the stairs. “I’ll definitely vote for you. My mum too and even my sister. Though she hates politics, she just votes for you because she finds you sexy and still convinces herself that you are bisexual and could actually want to marry her. I told her not with that face, she kicked me.” He told them while he was leaving. “I’m happy to hear that I have your support. Have a good weekend Diego!” he said before he stepped in with the box of food and closed the door behind himself smiling into Kario’s direction. “He’s a little quirky but decent.” He commented and carried the box into the living room before he got some silverware from the kitchen so that they could finally start to eat. Throwing himself on the sofa he immediately started to unpack the food.

[Sathenus]

Kario thought over what Devon said, but he still wasn't sure what sort of past mistake would ever be able to help him in the present or future. Maybe show him what he never wanted to do again, but he thought everyone saw old mistakes like that and so it couldn't be what his lover meant. "I mean... I learned from those mistakes. Won't ever repeat them, but I'm positive that isn't what you meant." He said after a few minutes of trying to understand things better. "So... let's take that experience you had. Of not being more outspoken about such views. How could reflecting on that memory, change or improve anything now?" He didn't really understand, but he was trying to. Even if this wasn't necessarily a conversation he was fully interested in, he wanted to understand it because he knew this conversation was something that interested his boyfriend. That and if he could understand it, he also felt it meant he was going to be able to understand the man he loved more.

 

The more he listened to Devon explain the village that Jeff had come from, the more he started to think of Amish towns and he wondered if they were similar. "So... kind of like an amish town then?" He asked after he finished hearing what the governor had to say about this. When he was told that Jeff could speak about it and describe things much better than he could since it was the other man's experience it made Kario nod. "Maybe he could, but I highly doubt it's something he'd want to sit down and actually discuss with me." He admitted with a small shrug. In all honesty, he felt like this was something that Jeff probably didn't want to sit down and discuss with most people if anyone at all. That was okay though, maybe this fell under one of those things that he didn't really need to know the answer to. What Devon had been able to share with him had still been interesting though, and it truly made him want to know more about such villages and how they saw things. "Still interesting though, that despite all of the modern day tech and improvements that they would willingly choose to live like that instead." There was a little bit of him that found that way of life a little appealing, minus the fact that T.V or any other type of electronics were a bad influence or would poison anyone. Even if he could quite easily live without most modern technology. Then a slightly amused look crossed his face as he thought about Devon trying to survive in such a village. It was amusing because he couldn't see the governor going without such technology, or the comforts of his current life for that matter.

 

His dark eyes were locked with his lover's gaze when he noticed the smile that crossed his face, listening as he started to speak and explain to him that it had been Jeff who had been his first actual boyfriend that had introduced him to such a relationship where they could share their lives together, the good and the bad. What was catching his attention even more was the way the blonde's face seemed to flush, and Kario was already able to understand why it was doing so from their previous conversations together. As their fingers interlocked and the older man continued to speak a smile had formed on Kario's face. Leaning up he pressed his lips to his lover's cheek, "You're really cute when you blush like that." He mused. "Well... since I know you want to share my life with me, I'll be more open to sharing it with you. And I really would love for you to share your life with me as well." He knew honesty was the best thing to do, so he was honest. He really would love to share his life with Devon and for the man to share his life with him. It would take time for him to get used to the fact that anyone wanted to share the good and bad things of his life, but he was sure after awhile it would feel like second nature.

 

There wasn't any missing the deep sigh he heard from his lover, his gaze was still locked on the man and he noticed how he raised an eyebrow when he had tried to convince them that sex and reaching climax wouldn't help him. Of course that was exactly what would help him, but he was being far to stubborn for his own good, something he was more than aware of. But it was so easy to just keep telling himself again and again that he didn't need it, than it was to admit defeat and tell his lover how much he really did need it. Though at this point, Kario was sure his eyes were showing whatever he was refusing to admit and that was with each passing minute he wanted and needed it more and more even if he was refusing to admit it. So when he heard his lover speak, explaining to him that he didn't think anything he could say could make him realise otherwise, Kario glanced away for a minute. He had already realized it, just refused to admit it. But he was brought back when he was told not to torture himself and promise him that he would ask Devon for help or grant himself some relief when it gets worse. That... wasn't such a hard thing to promise, but that didn't mean he didn't raise an eyebrow in question despite that. "Even in the middle of the night?" He asked, feeling like at this point that was a very likely outcome. That after struggling to ignore it and convince himself he didn't need it that it would be after hours of struggling to sleep soundly that he'd finally give in. He would need the sleep after all, especially when it came to facing his parents tomorrow, going to them tired and frustrated wasn't going to be a smart idea.

 

"Maybe, but those options sound kind of boring alone." Kario admitted with a small shrug. Even soaking in the tub alone wasn't the most pleasing idea, but it was at least better than using the bathing house, pool or sauna alone. People spent time relaxing in the tub alone all the time, those other options were all things that they would want to do with other people. That didn't make them any less appealing, just not what he would go to in this situation.

 

"True! Doubling the good points definitely isn't a bad thing." Kario replied with a nod. There certainly was no harm, especially with his father to earn twice as many good points in one visit. Especially the very first time that he was to meet his boyfriend. So bringing his father a gift, as well as making his mother happy by bringing her a gift was definitely a good thing. Rubbing his thumb over the back of the older man's hand he just remained silent, thinking about their visit.

 

Now this look was something he could get extremely used to seeing, and he loved how much it brightened up the older man. Causing a large smile to cross his own face, but what Devon said made him laugh and he was all to tempted to do exactly that. "I would be more than happy to undress you for real instead of just with my eyes, but you are right. We do have a guest on their way, and I would much rather keep your handsome naked body just for myself." There was no point in him commenting about how he was determined to prove a point, because there really was no fighting against his desire and love of seeing his handsome boyfriend naked and fighting against his body's desire for sex. He would always give in and choose to see the governor naked instead.

 

"Money isn't everything to everyone." Kario replied with a small shrug. He could understand why the governor's father thought that way there. There were often all tons of people in the world who really would just want to be with Devon either because of his power as governor or because of his money, though most likely both. "I can't fully blame your father for his way of thinking though, because there are plenty of people out there who really would just be after your money and power." He added. "Maybe, but it's okay. Just try not to worry about it too much. At least not more than you already have."

 

The seductive words that had been whispered before the blonde started nibbling on his jaw made him let out a pleased sound. Devon was all too right after all, his cock really did get as hard as steel it seemed when it was in regards to him. The thought only aroused him more though, and found himself easily losing any resolve to hold to his body not needing or wanting any relief anytime soon. Running his fingers along the other's neck he felt himself giving in more and more. His mind was slightly distracted as it tried to find a reason as to why he was so stubborn about it to begin with. Sure he wanted to beat this and quickly, but there was no point trying to rush it, it would probably just hurt him more in the long run. Not to mention, all he got from fighting it was a stronger desire to give in. Would it really be so hard to just do that? It seemed like it, because even though his resolve was slowly beginning to unravel, it hadn't quite gotten there.

 

"Yeah well, Smith isn't the brightest guy either." Kario said with another laugh. He couldn't say he was surprised that the bodyguard had even asked such things of Devon, but he was sure his parents would be smarter than that and capable of seeing how their relationship worked without asking. If they weren't able to then it didn't matter since they didn't have to tell anyone who played what role. "That is kind of amusing though, that he would even think that." He added after, an amused look still on his face.

 

Shrugging he shook his head, "No, if they want to ask such an intrusive question then I don't see any reason for us to have to take a diplomatic route to answer it. They ask, we can rather bluntly tell them it isn't any of their business. It after all isn't." Kario replied not feeling like it mattered even if his parents were the easily offended type. Thankfully they weren't, but even if they were he'd probably just tell them himself that it was none of their business. Who topped and who bottomed in their relationship was only of concern to each other, no one else. "It'd be there own fault for wording a question that way anyway. Anyone stupid enough to think that one of us is the woman in the relationship would need that reality check." Again he shrugged, these were things he didn't feel like needed to be sugar coated for anyone.

 

The amused look on his face returned when he listened to Devon trying to sell him on the prospect of joining his party, he could see the look on his lover's face clearly even from the way he had positioned himself against the man's chest. It really did seem as if the older man was trying to sell something more like a car to him, than to convince him to join his party. "Hmm... I don't know." He mused with a small smirk before shrugging once more, "I'll consider it." That was the least he could do after all, he'd at least consider doing so, even if he wasn't really sure it would be for him. They both rather easily agreed he already had the best part of the governor's party, the governor himself. Anything else that they could offer him seemed rather insignificant in comparison. At the same time, since it was the party that his boyfriend belonged to, he would at least consider it.

 

Feeling how Devon relaxed beneath him when he returned to pressing his lips against his lover's neck and kissing his neck made him smile against the soft skin. He really would do his best not to arouse his boyfriend, even if he couldn't quite guarantee that wouldn't happen. When he heard Devon begin to speak again, he glanced up towards him, their eyes meeting. "Knowing you're hard will arouse me no matter what, handsome." Kario replied not feeling like it was a big deal. Sure, if he saw the man's erection he was going to become more aroused no matter what. Hell, he got aroused just being pressed against his lover half the time, it came down to the fact that it wasn't hard to do when it came to him. When the blonde stated that since he truly didn't want to give in to his body's cravings that he shouldn't make it more difficult on him. Telling him how he'd just quickly take care of himself. "Hmm... no. I can't let you do that, I'd feel to bad. Besides, I really do have no self control when it comes to you. It won't hurt me to help you out, and we both know I'd be more than willing to do so if I did accidentally make you hard. So there is no point in you taking care of it by yourself. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I made you do that?" Kario replied shaking his head. Though he had no intention of getting Devon hard on purpose, he refused to accept the man having to take care of it on his own. It didn't matter if he was trying not to give in to his body, he wouldn't allow it.

 

"Besides, even you being here completely dressed and not hard arouses me. I have some very fond memories of getting you out of suits after all." Kario teased his lover with a small smirk before he pressed his lips once more to Devon's neck. Returning to kissing the skin, while allowing one of his hands to gently trail along the older man's torso. Still being careful not to get Devon hard though he had to admit he was paying far more attention to what he was doing and paying attention to the man he loved than he was anything else.

 

He couldn't help but laugh with the older man at his comment about expecting quite some discipline from him. "Maybe I do. But, if we can at least try to make it through tonight, I promise I'll make up for it tomorrow. I think one long day with no sex is definitely enough, I'm absolutely not going to force myself to get through two. I'd surely die." Kario mused with a small smile. If Devon could at least help him get through the night, he would have proved to himself that he can do this, if he can get through one whole day without sex after just two days of being out of the brothel then he knew he could do anything. This wasn't just about not giving in to his desires, but to prove to himself he was able to do whatever he put his mind to. He would definitely make up for it though and need relief tomorrow, so he would be more than happy to reward Devon's discipline as well. Though he had to admit, he wasn't really sure if he'd get through the night. But that was a completely different battle right now.

 

 

 

 

"I would feel better about it if we left the final decision until after your meeting with your father." Kario agreed with a nod. It would make him feel better, if for no other reason than because it meant they could make sure they were both ready for it and neither of them was under any extra stress than the meeting itself would cause. Kario himself was nervous about his boyfriend meeting his parents, but not because Devon was the governor or even because he was so much older than himself. He was nervous because he had never brought anyone home to his parents before, had never been with someone who meant nearly as much to him as Devon did. So this was completely new, new things gave him pretty bad anxiety about the whole thing. But at the same time, he had a strong feeling that he was worried about nothing and that they would have a great visit with his parents and establish a good relationship between his parents and his boyfriend. That prospect alone was something he was very much looking forward to.

 

Hearing his lover speak, explaining to him why he thought he may be mad made him give the older man a look asking him if that was really all. It was also mixed with curiosity, especially when he was asked if he wasn't mad at him what had been the matter. "She wasn't annoying or exhausting. Not really. She acted like a normal stressed out mother-to-be. My mom was just emotionally unstable when she was pregnant with my sister." Kario replied not really that bothered with how Mei had acted, it was normal for a pregnant woman to be more emotionally unstable and overdramatic. So it wasn't that big of a deal to him, not as much as it would have been had she behaved in the same manner and had not been pregnant. It was the question of what's been the matter then that made him actually pause. His dark eyes were locked with his lover's golden, and he had to truly ask himself if there had been anything wrong to begin with.

 

It was a hard question to answer and so he just silently stood there staring at the man he loved not speaking. Finally he shook his head, "Nothing." Despite saying that he knew that wasn't the answer Devon wanted. But to answer that question was to dive deeper into emotions he wasn't really sure about, and to dive into why he felt disconnected from the two to begin with. After a moment he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, "I just... don't know. In the end nothing was wrong, sure the dramatic display of emotions wasn't the most pleasant thing. But I can't say that really bothered me either. But I don't know what answer you want since I can't fully explain the reason behind the emotion leading to that response." He felt it was time to be honest with it completely. He couldn't give Devon the answer he wanted, because he didn't understand the emotions behind why he had acted or felt that way. Leaning up he pressed his lips to Devon's, "I'm sorry. But I really can't provide some sort of informative or deep answer as to why I behaved that way. Just... that I don't fully understand it myself."

 

"I love you too." Kario replied with a large smile, leaning happily into the blonde. Wrapping his arms around the older man as well and letting his eyes drift shut. He truly did love Devon, he loved being with him, and he definitely loved cuddling with him. There was no comparison to how much he enjoyed being in the older man's arms, a place he truly felt safe and cared for.

 

The darkened expression was one he was expecting, even if it didn't make him particularly happy to see it despite that. "But you can't change how he sees me, Devon. I understand and I really love and appreciate that you won't let him mistreat or even hurt me. But neither one of us can change how he sees me, and I think we both know that your father will never see me as much. But... that's okay." Kario replied. He knew Devon would stick up for him and wouldn't let his father mistreat him. That didn't mean the man wouldn't make his comments, especially if he thought his son wasn't able to hear it. But that was fine, Kario wouldn't let it bother him. He was with Devon after all, not the man's father. The man didn't have to like him, or like that he was with his son. As long as he had Devon on his side, he'd have everything he ever wanted and would never need. "As long as I have you, your father can think whatever he wants of me. He can hate me, or think I'm not good enough for you, he can even make his little comments for all I care. Your opinion of me, is really the only one that matters to me anymore. It'll just... take me a little while to get to the point where I won't let other people's opinions bother me." He added after.

 

Kario leaned against the door watching the two men with a slightly amused expression on his face at the way they interacted. Clearly Devon ordered out enough for him to have gotten pretty friendly with the delivery driver, not like that was a bad thing at all. It was kind of nice to see the older man interacting with other people that didn't stress him out. Hearing his lover ask the man -Diego if he had caught it right- about how university was going. It was interesting, to think he knew that much about the younger man. Didn't bother him, but was truly interesting in the end.

 

When the other seemed to notice him for the first time he couldn't help the amused laugh that escaped him being asked if he was the naked guy from the photo. Instantly he shot the governor a smirk, "See! I could very easily go around introducing myself as the naked guy from the picture!" He said with another laugh. He remembered how he had introduced himself to Clarence as just that, and the talk that had followed between Devon and himself. Hearing that the man's sister apparently owed him fifty dollars because they had bet on this only seemed to amuse him even more. "Extremely lucky." Kario replied with a nod when he was told that he was really lucky. He definitely knew he was, and he was more than a little aware that a lot of women out there probably did have a thing for the governor, but the blonde was his. Only his.

 

Suddenly Devon seemed to pipe in and reminded Diego that he had other deliveries to make and people waiting for their food. Shame. Kario was definitely amused with how that conversation was going, but it wasn't long before Devon had paid him and the other guy was on his way back to his car to make the rest of his deliveries. Once Devon had come back inside he couldn't help but laugh softly, "He is, though I do have to admit I could get used to seeing him around with such a personality." Following Devon happily back into the living room he got himself comfortable next to the man once more. Turned so he was facing Devon as the governor was unpacking the food, leaning back against the couch. "So, seems like you still have his family's vote despite being a gay politician. I'm sure his family isn't the only one that hasn't change their opinion despite said news. Or maybe they think along the lines of his sister and that you just made it up or are bisexual. Though I do have to admit if you do turn out bisexual I'm still not sharing. You're still very much mine."

 

Once the food was unpacked and they were able to start eating it was definitely nice, this time eating together was peaceful. There wasn't anyone to interrupt it, and bring unnecessary drama and there wasn't anyone asking a bunch of questions. It was just the two of them, enjoying dinner together and each other's company. Though at one point he really couldn't help but lean over to press their lips together again. "You know, you look really cute when you have that awkward look on your face." He commented now that he had some food in his stomach and so did his lover. His mind had gone back to the awkward expression that had been on his boyfriend's face while Diego had been speaking. Leaning back once more he observed his lover a small smile playing on his face. "Since you want to speak to your father in the morning, should I take that to mean there is a certain time you want to get going?" He was more curious to know if he should be expecting to wake up to the sound of an alarm again in the morning. Even if he had gone back to sleep this morning for a little while before being disturbed by his mother bearing coffee it didn't mean he wasn't curious to know if Devon would be setting an alarm for morning again.

[-Hideki-]

There was a patient smile on his face when the other told him that he too learned from mistakes and wouldn’t repeat them but that he was certain that this was not what Ashfield had meant. “You say you won’t repeat your mistakes? What would you not repeat? And what exactly would you do differently to achieve what outcome?” he asked tilting his head to the side. “To learn from a mistake you have to realise it was one, analyse where it had been made, and what exactly could have been done different and to ask oneself how it would have gone had you done x or y. If you do that the past also has some use to you already!” the blond said. “It’s not complicated. And I am not attaching it an over exaggerated relevance that it does not have either as that would be more than unhealthy, it would be crippling!” the governor nodded. When he was asked how thinking about that situation had helped him now he smiled. “As I described! I realised that what I have done might not have been right so I have just seen that it was a mistake. Then I questioned whether I should have done something different. Then I asked myself what exactly I should have done different. And now I will act differently and will speak up if something like that ever occurs to me again.” Devon told him. “But if you take Sven however, he refuses to even think about things that he has done in the past as he doesn’t see it as a relevant part of himself that has shaped him but he solely focuses on the moment. And when the moment is gone for a while and lies in the past it doesn’t exist for him in the present anymore what puts it onto the same level as fiction to him.” He explained and tried to give the other a contrast to what he had said. “Basically the opposite of over exaggerating the value of past events and clinging onto them!” Devon said and smiled again. “But we don’t have to go on about this. I am seeing that you aren’t really interested in discussing different standpoints about the value of what is already history so I don’t want to bore you more.” He assured Kario with a wink.

 

He looked at his boyfriend curiously when he asked about if it had been like an Amish town and when he gave it a thought he couldn’t keep himself from grinning amused. “Maybe a little but not quite like the Amish. They aren’t that extreme and not that far backwards. They wear relatively normal clothing and I have seen machines for farming. Not high-tech ones but still actual machines, though they almost all felt the same about TV’s, computers, video games and the internet and so on what they collectively refuse.” The politician said and shrugged. “It seemed like they wanted the world to go back to the early 20th century or the late 19th century. Horrible enough for a guy like Jeff if you asked me.” He added.

Another shrug came from him when the young man suggested that Jeff probably wouldn’t want to talk to him about the village he grew up in. “I don’t think that he’d mind much.” The governor disagreed. “He might not talk about his personal experiences with you as he doesn’t know you too well yet but if you don’t mind him ranting about it he’d probably answer your questions.” Ashfield guessed.

Devon raised an eyebrow when the young man told him that he found it interesting that those people chose to live this way and refuse modern technological advancements. “It’s fascinating in the same way that my daddy issues would be to a shrink. So if you mean it like that then, ja, I suppose.” The blond stated.

Suddenly after a short silence he could see his lover’s expression changing and an amused smile appeared on his face as he looked at the blond billionaire. “What’s so funny? Is there something on my face?” he asked curiously with a smile wanting to know what amused the other.

 

After he had interlocked his finger’s with Kario’s and he had finished his last sentence the black haired caught his lips in a kiss what actually eased the embarrassment he felt about what he had articulated there at least a little. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss they shared, feeling that his step forward in talking about this and his emotional needs had gotten embraced and accepted rather than ridiculed and seen as weak and unmanly as his father had made it seem whenever Devon had shown anything in that direction. Though it would take a while until he would not look like a tomato whenever he expressed something like that and for him to not feel like he should disappear into a hole and come back out when he had hardened to the point he didn’t care about those things anymore it felt healing how loving the young male reacted to this. When his boyfriend however mentioned his blushed face Devon only blushed more and got a deeper shade of red and because the blush was more prominent he got more embarrassed about his red face. “It’s really not.” He coughed and protested. “I just look like an idiot like this. No one wants to see a governor blush like this…” the politician said finding it unfitting for himself whereas he himself found it incredibly cute on Kario. A wide smile appeared on his face though when he heard that the other was actually willing to share everything about his life with him and that he wanted Devon to share his with him too. “I love to share my life with you and I am glad that I get to.” The blond stated his golden eyes looking into the warm brown of the younger male’s while he gently stroke the other’s cheek with his thumb.

 

A chuckle came from him at the question whether the other should even ask him for help with his problem in the middle of the night after the governor had told him to not torture himself and to promise him to ask him for help or at least masturbate if he refused to involve Ashfield. “Yes, even in the middle of the night.” He clearly said his golden gaze seriously laying on his young lover as he took his hand into his own to make it more clear and to assure him that it really was okay to wake him up if he couldn’t bear it anymore. Sure Devon would hope that it rather not happened but if it happened he would be much happier with being woken up and helping the other than sleeping clueless while the man he loved suffered.

 

“Ja, that might be true.” The governor answered when Kario said that those options he had mentioned were boring alone and actually activities one did with two or more people. The blond looked away for a moment. He had used all of them alone for the last couple of years. The bathing house maybe not so much it was usually untouched, the sauna and the pool he had used though. And yes, he had felt a little lonely doing that and then pathetic because he had thought that he was not supposed to eve feel lonely.

 

A snort escaped him when the other said that he would much rather keep the sight of his naked body reserved for himself and not share it with the guest. That was incredibly cute and not what made him snort. It was just that the guest was his ex-wife Mei. “She did see me naked quite some times already.” He answered. “And honestly she probably doesn’t want to again as our memories about one of us being naked and even worse being naked together were all well …. awful and later just outright awkward!” he told his lover. “Anyway, I think it’s cute how possessive you are when it comes to my body.” The governor let the other man know as he was wrapping his arms around his hips. “It actually makes me want you to get me naked and show me how much you not want to share my body with anyone even more.” Ashfield confessed kissing his boyfriend’s neck.

 

“I know that he has a point. I have met plenty of those people whether they wanted to be ‘friends’ or ‘lovers’, I had the honour with all types of opportunists and gold diggers.” The governor agreed that his father’s worries were pretty reasonable but still, his father had gone about it how it was typical for him, without any tact and with putting him down. Beside the fact that his father didn’t give a shit about other people’s not even his son’s feelings there was the aspect that it had hurt him like hell that he and who he was didn’t interest anyone and that what was liked, loved, desired wasn’t him but his money and power. That he could not trust any people because of that. And all those scenarios that Mahler had speculated about, those mere ideas, had hurt him too.

 

It made him laugh when the other said that Smith was not the brightest guy after all and then added that he found it amusing that the bodyguard had thought that Ashfield bottomed too. Devon smirked widely when he said:”Well, Smith thinks a lot of things, what he thinks is just usually not exactly intelligent.” Then he added. “He also seems to take stereotypes rather seriously. And overall he and his comments offer the perfect opportunity to make fun of him by using his own statements against him. It’s quite funny, you should try it once.”

 

After Devon Ashfield had revealed that if he wasn’t born the heir to a multinational corporation and wasn’t a politician he had become a car salesman he looked rather surprised when Kario actually said that he’d consider joining his political party. It had started as a joke and he had been certain that the young male would ridicule the idea but the black haired actually considered this. The blond’s face lit up and looked incredibly happy after hearing that. “It’s great that you do consider it. I’d really like it if you were in the party too. And it would not only make me happy but I think other people to as you and I, we are a contrast and an opposite to people like Karl Tailor within the party and I want my party to be associated with you and me and sane people who want to make good and reasonable politics for our state and nation. And not to see extremists like Tailor in the spotlight. I am certain that less people would talk that poorly or even hate my party then.” The blond was certain.

 

His young lover made it quite clear, almost vigorously that he would not let him jerk off by himself to not make it more difficult for Kario to not give in to his cravings and to get him aroused even more if the black haired ended up causing Devon an erection.

“I wanted to be a good boyfriend and support you to achieve your goal no matter how I am thinking about the abrupt and radical way you are going about this.” He told him as it seemed that both of them were motivated by the same intention. To be the best possible boyfriend for the other! “I’d feel bad if you lost control because you had to get me off and would be mad with yourself and beat yourself up about not having achieved your goal.” Ashfield said. He hoped that if the other saw that he could achieve his goal and not give in for a while that he’d stop being that strict with himself and go about it much more easy and with less of an ‘all or nothing’ attitude.

 

An amused laugh came from him when he was teased by the other telling him that Devon’s presence alone was enough to arouse him already as he had good memories getting him out of suits. “I hope so and I think there are going be a lot more in the future considering that I almost always wear suits.” He remarked but then he felt how Kario continued to kiss his neck and he closed his eyes again to enjoy and relax, humming lowly from time to time. When his lover’s hand was tracing down his clothed torso he automatically leaned into the touch wishing he was naked and the other would touch his bare skin and not just through the fabric of his shirt.

 

Devon smiled indulgent when the other declared that he wanted to make it through the night without sex and wanted to prove to himself that he could do this and that he would not force himself to go through another sex less day then. It at least managed to appease the governor to know that the other was not going to force himself through even more, though this was more than enough for the start. Promising the blond that he’d make up for all the discipline it cost the politician to not get tempted and to not get carried away, to focus on not enthralling his boyfriend more than he already was. “I will help you and support you as much as I can to make it as easy as possible for you to prove this to yourself, especially if it means that you’ll grant yourself to get relieve again without beating yourself up about it tomorrow.” He promised to the black haired.

 

 

 

 

The governor got pretty tense and even a tad nervous when the young man just looked at him in silence not answering his questions as to what had been up with him and what had been the issue that had led him to behave like this. The longer they were looking at each other the more Ashfield got the feeling that there really was something up and that it was more complex and deeper than he had expected as the other had said that he had not found Mei annoying and exhausting making the blond feel a little guilty as he had found dealing with the overly emotional and dramatic behaviour tiresome and annoying. Getting a ‘Nothing’ from the other that was definitely not true and didn’t make the concern go away and when Kario explained to him why he couldn’t really answer this question because he didn’t know the answer. Telling him that he was not aware what had led to this feeling within him and why he had acted how he had acted actually proved himself right to him. It was something that sat on a deeper level, something complicated, complicated enough that the other had not figured it out himself.

 

When he was kissed by his boyfriend and the young man apologised for not knowing the answer himself he shook his head slightly. “No need to apologise.” He said leaning their foreheads together. “It’s just that I am worried that if you can’t even figure it out yourself yet that it is an issue on a much deeper level, something that is more complicated to understand, something manifested and more serious and I am worried that if we won’t find the cause for this, that you will get the same feeling and response in other situations due to the same issue that you have without knowing what it is and being able to tell me to find a solution but that it will instead just continue to grow to the point where we fight and it’s getting a serious problem for us in our relationship.” He admitted. “So I think that we should find out what bothered you.” The other announced that he found this important and didn’t just want this to be ignored and them to drag this, whatever it was, with them throughout their relationship.

 

The governor knew that he couldn’t change his father’s outlook on his lover and he would not start to try at all even though he was not fond as to how the old man saw the man he loved but that was something that he couldn’t change and his father was entitled to his own opinion. However what Devon would not take was the man mistreating him and not showing him basic human dignity that he deserved. “I know this.” He said. “And I won’t try to convince him of the fact that you are the best that could have happened to me and how cute, wonderful and loveable you are as I know that he would not be able to see it and not wanted to change any of his outlooks whatsoever. But I will not sit in silence if he refuses to teach you as a man, a human being. He has to show you basic dignity or I’ll have to make him and won’t stop until he does.” The blond promised his young boyfriend or even more so himself.

 

It had gotten pretty obvious that Diego had left a positive first impression on the young man and Devon smiled happily when the other said that he could get used to seeing the delivery driver around. “You will.” He said. “When you have gotten used to the new situation we could also ask him to take you with him to university once and show you around there to see if maybe something there interests you.” He suggested. “Diego would be the perfect guy for you to hang out with and make friends also. He is a hard-working, law-abiding citizen, he is your age and the most important part of them all, he is definitely 100% straight! So I won’t have to worry and get jealous as I definitely am the possessive type myself.” The blond jested but actually meaning the part of the two hanging out seriously.

 

As they sat on the sofa and Devon had unpacked their food and had taken a piece of pizza and started to eat as he just could not wait since his mouth had already watered and he had been extremely hungry in the first place he listened to the young man speak about that Diego and his family would still vote for him. “Yes, I wasn’t worried about them not voting for me anymore for that anyway. For some reason I was almost certain that Diego had no problem with homosexual people.” He nodded. “You’re right though, others do too. Some of those really concerned old people who called at that show telling me that they hated my sin and not me, the sinner and that I am such a nice young man and have done a good job so far and that they will vote for me regardless of my abhorrent deviant sexual activities because they think that I might be messed up morally but that Claris is literally Satan.” He explained laughing thinking about those calls. The worst thing had been that he had had to pretend to take them all seriously and to keep polite to every voter who had called.

 

Hearing the comment about people thinking he was bisexual and his boyfriend making clear that if he turned out bi he would still not share him with anyone made him burst out into laughter. “Jeez, it’s more likely that hell actually existed and that a snow storm was raging there than me turning out bisexual.” He remarked amused. “I am the guy who didn’t get it up confronted with a supermodel. The guy who tried to not have to look at her body by turning her around and trying to do it in the arse to be able to pretend to bang a dude! Did you forget that I actually tried incredibly hard to be bi with all my might and failed miserably because I am just not?” Ashfield reminded joking and teasingly before he was seemingly randomly bursting out into laughter again. “And to be honest tonight made me incredibly thankful for that I am gay as fuck. Honestly, had I managed to fuck her and had gotten her pregnant back then I’d have shot myself after only a week of what I have got to experience now as I wouldn’t have been able to constantly deal with a hysteric pregnant woman.” He let the other know whilst stuffing his mouth full with food.

 

Devon had just put another piece of food into his mouth when he was kissed by the black haired. He quickly swallowed the bunch of food down to be able to return the kiss properly that tasted just like their food as well. The politician chuckled when he heard Kario telling him that he was cute when he had an awkward expression on his face. “You really seem to like to see me embarrassed with the most indecent expressions on my face.” He said in a playful tone of voice.

What followed was the other wanting to speak about their plans for the other day and the governor nodded. “Yes. I will set the alarm onto 8am. I won’t be getting up any earlier, there is no need to anyway, as we won’t have to rush then by any means and will have enough time.” He informed Kario with a smile.

 

It didn’t take too long and Devon had eaten enough to feel like he’d explode and had just gained a few pounds. Being full and tired he leaned back into the sofa not caring to sit properly anymore. “Gosh, I could fall asleep right here on the sofa. I’m done for today.” He said with a tired smile. “As soon as you have eaten up as well I will head to bed. If you aren’t up for sleeping yet you don’t have to and can do whatever you want here. Though I can’t say that I wouldn’t prefer it if you got to bed with me.”

[Sathenus]

There was no missing the patient look on Devon's face when he had said he had learned from his mistakes and wouldn't repeat them even if he didn't think that was what Devon had been talking about. When his boyfriend spoke he raised an eyebrow at the other. Hearing what his lover had to say a curious look crossed his face, he didn't feel like he had to analyse anything about his past mistakes, the way to never repeat them seemed pretty obvious in his opinion. At least when it came to his mistakes, he knew for a fact he would have been able to avoid most if not all of the mistakes he had made leading him up to the brothel if he had just returned home and tried to start again. It seemed like a common sense path that he only hadn't taken to begin with because he had not wanted to burden his parents. Though he wouldn't change anything because it had brought Devon into his life, he knew that he should have taken the other path despite that. Hearing how Sven focused literally on the moment and not the past made him curious, though Kario wouldn't say he necessarily focused on his past they were important parts of who he was and who he had turned out to be. A small smile crossed his face when he heard the blonde tell him that he didn't want to bore him more by discussing this when he didn't seem to be interested.

 

"You're right. I don't find it interesting, but I know it does interest you... so I don't mind trying to understand it more or talk about it. It's not like I expect us to just skip out talking about everything that interests you just because I don't find it interesting myself." Kario replied leaning up to give the older man a quick kiss on the cheek. "I mean, there will still be some things that I won't want to discuss, but for the most part I'll at least give it a shot if for no other reason than to try to get to know you better." He added with a small shrug. They after all still didn't know all that much about each other, there was still so much for them to learn.

 

His curiosity stayed peaked when he listened to Devon explain that they may have had similiarities with the Amish but that they weren't the same. Nodding he listened to him list some of the differences. "So... helpful machines like the basics for farming are seen as a good thing. Or at the very least they are accepted. It seems like they are really just refusing the electronics that others take for granted and that doesn't really help them in day to day lives." Kario said thinking about it. He himself could understand it to a point, and having gone five years without any electronic device himself it wasn't that big a deal to him anymore either. They had kind of lost their appeal. "I can understand it to a point, but using such devices in moderation really isn't a bad thing. Though I guess if you look at today's society and how dependant people are to those very devices I can get why there are still places that refuse them completely." He paused as he considered it and realized that he didn't have much interest in those devices himself. Before the brothel he had at least had access to a TV, and while in school he had access to computers and internet so it wasn't like he had never experienced some of those comforts before. He even remembered being happy to sit in front of the TV with his family, or spending days in front of it instead of going outside on the weekends when he didn't want to hang out with anyone. "After living in the brothel for so long I don't really have an interest in such devices anymore myself. But I've also had access to TV before, and though my school wasn't the best we did have access to computers and the internet. But going so long without access to such things have honestly wiped away any interest I had in them." Kario added after a moment, his dark eyes looking up to meet his lover's gaze.

 

It was a strange thing he figured, especially considering how many TV's had been in his lover's room just last night. Which brought him to realize how many were in the mansion itself, and yet they still didn't hold any appeal to him. He had no interest to sit down and watch a TV show, or spend hours in front of it, even to pass the time. Though he wasn't against watching a movie with his boyfriend, it would be something he only did with Devon and only on occassion. It wasn't something he'd do all the time, or by himself. Computers and internet, he probably wouldn't use at all. Not unless he absolutely had to, and he couldn't see why he would have to.

 

To hear that Jeff may not mind much and would probably at least answer his questions, even if he did end up ranting made his face brighten up. He didn't need the older man to tell him about his personal experiences, and he didn't want to intrude by asking such things. If that was something that Jeff wanted to share then he would, but it wasn't something Kario would ask. He just wanted to understand the place he had grown up in a bit more, even if the man himself didn't seem fond of the place. Such villages interested him, and even if they didn't interest a lot of other people he wanted to understand them more.

 

He couldn't help but laugh when Devon said it was fascinating in the same way that his daddy issues would be to a shrink. "I suppose." He replied his amusement clear in his voice. He was half tempted to say that such a way of life was actually kind of tempting, he liked the idea of living such a way. What he didn't like about what he had heard though was their outlook on gay men. Since that clearly wasn't something that he could just stop doing, and even if he could he wouldn't.

 

"You. Or well... imagining you trying to survive in such a village. Even if they did accept gay men, I just can't see you pulling it off. It's quite an amusing thought." Kario admitted with another laugh. He loved his boyfriend, but he was positive that Devon wouldn't be able to survive in such a village. At least not without going insane.

 

Seeing Devon blush more at his comment only made him find it more attractive, it was nice to see that the man he loved wasn't incapable of feeling such emotions. Kario didn't want to be with someone who was tough all the time, he wanted to be with someone who was capable of showing these emotions even if the fact that he found them appealing only seemed to embarrass his lover even more. "Maybe not anyone outside of these walls, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of my governor like this." He replied with a large smile. The way the blonde's thumb gently stroked his cheek made him turn his face into the touch a little more, letting his eyes drift shut. He really was looking forward to them sharing their lives with each other. The fact that Devon even wanted to made him extremely happy, since this was of course something completely new to him.

 

Being told that even if it became to much in the middle of the night he should wake Devon up if he wanted him to help him made him raise an eyebrow in question. It wasn't like he had expected his lover to tell him no, but the seriousness in his expression made him realize just how much this seemed to mean to the other man. Clearly Devon didn't want him to suffer, and that it really would be okay to wake him in the middle of the night if he needed him. Even if he definitely did not intend to wake the governor up knowing that he usually had a lot he had to get done during the day, it meant a lot to know that Devon was okay with him doing so despite that. "I'll definitely try not to though." He replied after some silence.

 

"But... maybe we can use them together some time. That'll be fun." Kario said with a small smirk. Even in an innocent way, using the sauna, pool or bathing house together would be fun. It wasn't like he had meant it any other way, though now that his mind had gone down that path he had to admit he would be lying to say it was unappealing.

 

He couldn't help how amused he was when Devon said he found it cute how possessive he was when it came to his body. How could he not be possessive of his lover's body? To Kario, it was impossible not to be. Especially since he loved the man and his body so much. It was easy to understand why he didn't want to share it with anyone else or liked the idea that anyone else would see him naked. Even if Mei had before, he would definitely make sure it didn't happen again. What was said next made his smile turn to a smirk, the kiss to his neck really only making him more interested in undressing the man and showing him how much he didn't want to share his body with anyone else even more. "You should know I'd love nothing more than to do that. But... I don't think I could take the chance of getting interrupted because of a guest." He replied his eyes locked with Devon's. There was a clear sparkle in his eyes, making it even more clear that he really would enjoy doing that, but now really didn't seem like a good time. Time constraints weren't his favorite thing after all.

 

"Well... I will definitely consider it for you. But I suppose if I do end up doing that I'd have to learn about politics, or at the very least know what's going on." He had every intention of considering it, but he knew that even if he did consider it, joining the man's party without knowing anything really about politics or what was even going on in their state probably wouldn't be the smartest idea. He was sure this was something people did who genuinely had an interest in such matters, and not having had such interest in the past meant he probably had a lot he needed to catch up on. But that could be taken one step at a time when or if he decided he was going to do that.

 

"Devon, you're a great boyfriend already. So great that it would be rather terrible of myself to make you jerk off if you got aroused, especially if it's pretty much my fault for paying so much attention to you to begin with. Not to mention, I've already made it further than I thought I would without sex, especially so early on. So don't think that I'd be mad at myself if I did give in. Especially since I'm giving in for such a handsome and loving man." He said shaking his head. He in no way wanted Devon to feel bad if he did end up giving in just from helping his lover relieve himself. Especially since he certainly wouldn't feel bad. He had already made it much longer than he had expected, and sure he had tried to relieve himself and failed, but he had also thought he would have jumped Devon the moment he stepped in the door because of that. But he hadn't, and he still didn't. Which he felt was a truly big accomplishment himself, even if he didn't make it the full twenty-four hours he had wanted to. This was still pretty close.

 

"We definitely will, and I will very much look forward to getting you out of them." There was no denying how much that thought aroused him and how appealing it was. He did have extremely fond memories of getting Devon out of his suits, and he was sure he'd make plenty more. The reaction he had from Devon as he continued to kiss his neck was positive, and made him want to do so more. Though he could tell from how the blonde pushed into his hand that Devon would enjoy his touch more of he was touching his bare skin and not through the fabric of his clothes. It was... an extremely tempting thought. So tempting that he found his fingers playing with the buttons of the man's shirt, clearly trying to decide if he should give Devon what he clearly wanted. It was such a tempting thought and he felt his finger's halt over one of the buttons, pretty much ready to do so.

 

"You already support me so much by not trying to tempt me or convince me that I should just give in to it." Kario admitted with a smile. Sure Devon hadn't been happy to find out he had been in pain and still was, but the man hadn't told him to give in already either. He had already been so supportive already, and he had promised Devon that if it did get worse he'd give in and allow himself to get his relief. Even if it meant he had to wake the man up in the middle of the night. Though he was still hoping he wouldn't have to do that. "I don't think any smart person would be able to resist for more than one night anyway." He mused with a smirk.

 

 

 

How tense the other got when it took him a while to answer didn't go unnoticed by Kario who was watching him as he tried to figure out how to answer the question. When he did answer it, he wasn't surprised to be told that he didn't need to apologise. What did surprise him, was what was said after, their eyes remaining locked on each other. The thought that if they didn't figure this out that it would become a serious problem and cause them to fight later in their relationship wasn't a pleasant one. His eyes had dropped to the floor at this point and he tried to search deeper and figure out what the feeling had been, put words to it. But it was hard. Devon was the first person he had ever felt this way for, emotions he had never had before were coming into play with the older man and he couldn't figure out what all of them were. Now though, he was worried that he'd cause problems for their relationship if he didn't figure it out. Which wasn't helping him discover what had caused him to act like that any more than before.

 

Being told that Devon thought they should find out what bothered him didn't help either, especially since he didn't know how to figure that out. Even searching inside of himself, thinking about the visit they had just gone through. Trying to see if he could pull that feeling back, but he couldn't. Or at least, he couldn't seem to get his mind to focus enough on the situation that had already passed and that he didn't want to repeat. Sighing again he nodded, "Okay, we can try." He had no idea if they would figure it out, but he was willing to try if for no other reason than to avoid any future problems that may be caused because of it.

 

"That could take awhile." He admitted. He was glad that Devon wanted to at least make sure that his father treated him with basic dignity, but he knew that could take awhile for the blonde's father to do that. If he ever really did. Either way, Kario didn't really mind if he did or not. He had Devon, and that was victory enough considering he was sure that his lover's father wasn't going to be happy with that in itself. Smiling up at his lover he leaned up and kissed him once more, "I can be patient though, in the mean time I'm just going to be happy that I have you. That's victory enough, really."

 

"Maybe." He mused, though he definitely liked the impression Diego had given him already. That said, Kario definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of the delivery driver, and he knew with Devon he would. Aside from whenever he might make them something as a treat, he figured them ordering out would be normal and happen pretty much most of the time. Not like it was particularly a bad thing. He couldn't help the smile that crept onto his face when Devon told him Deigo would be the perfect guy for him to hang out with and become friends with. The reasoning made him laugh, "Hmm... so if I made friends with another gay guy would you be worried?" He asked a little amused. "But you have a point, he definitely would be a great person to become friends with."

 

"I am definitely glad that you aren't bi. Otherwise I'd probably have been very unlucky since you most likely would have been able to make it work with Mei." There was no denying that he was glad Devon wasn't bisexual, the thought that he never would have gotten his chance with the older man because his relationship with Mei most likely would have worked if he was certainly wasn't appealing. Reaching out he ran his fingers over the man's jaw again letting them move down to his neck as his smile reappeared. "Dealing with the hormones of a pregnant woman certainly isn't an easy feat." He agreed with a nod. He definitely felt like it wasn't something that was easy to do, and he commended all of the men who were able to put up with it. Even if it hadn't really been that annoying to him, it was only because as a kid he had very fleeting memories of his mother being pregnant with his sister.

 

"How can I not like seeing that side of you?" He asked with a genuinely curious look crossing his face. He really did like seeing the older man embarrassed, and he found it cute and attractive. There was that part of him that truly enjoyed knowing that Devon was capable of showing those emotions, since he had a feeling that the man's father wasn't. Had anyone even been able to make his lover's father embarrassed or feel those emotions? Not really knowing he shrugged it off, pushing those thoughts out of his mind. Not like they were important to begin with, or like it mattered in the end.

 

Taking a bite of his food he found himself relaxing back against the couch once more. Silence seemed to fall between them as they both finished eating. When Devon had finished he glanced towards the older man as he spoke telling him that he could fall asleep right there. It was cute of course, but not unexpected. He remembered Devon telling him in the brothel that after a busy day at work and eating dinner he often didn't feel like moving. "I definitely can't refuse such a tempting offer. I'd much rather head to bed with you than stay up by myself." He admitted flashing a smile. It wasn't long after that when he was finished eating himself. It had been a long day either way, dealing with his body's desires had made the day long in itself. Shopping with the older man's mother had been okay and had gone rather quickly, but the hairdresser not so much. Mainly because by that point he had enough of being out and about around a bunch of other people. Once he had gotten back his day hadn't been much better, better in the sense he finally had a chance to relax and enjoy some silence, but not so much because his body still hadn't been to pleased.

 

But now that he had the choice between spending time alone again while Devon went to bed, or heading to bed with the man he loved. How could he not choose to go to bed with Devon? Slipping his hand into the older man's he stood up smiling down at the governor. "Come on. Let's get you in bed before you fall asleep on me here. You may be able to sleep on the couch, but it's definitely not the place for two people to sleep together. Not very well anyway." His tone took on a teasing aspect as he said that last sentence.

 

Once they made it upstairs to their bedroom he turned to face his lover with a determined look on his face, a smirk taking over his smile. "Now, I'd be more than happy to get you out of your clothes. Or at least... undressed enough to be more comfortable while we sleep. Can't have you going to bed wearing so much after all." Kario mused running his hands over the man's torso before they stopped on the hem of his lover's pants. Ready to help him slip out of them so they could lie down together.

[-Hideki-]

Listening closely when Kario explained to him that he thought he could understand the people from Jeff’s home village to an extent, telling him how he himself had lost all interest in devices like computers, the internet, video games and TV especially after having gone through the time in the brothel without any access to it. A smile came from the blond as he looked at him.”I think choosing my hunting lodge over Paris was the right decision for you.” He made an off topic remark before getting back to it. “It is absolutely reasonable to say that you aren’t interested in such technologies or to criticise scientifically proven negative effects of them like some people developing addictions, getting too dependent on them or a lowered attention span. But there is a major difference in what you are saying and to demonise those technologies and to condemn them and blame them for what they in their worldview deem as morally corrupted, decadency and degeneracy. Those people are ideologues. Their refusal is neither based on facts nor do they deem it an individual life style choice, they deem it the only correct way and oppose the common modern days life style and values, meaning that they don’t accept it.” He explained. “You aren’t like those people and if you or I would have grown up there we would have suffered like Jeff certainly did during his teenage years. The core of their life is their beliefs and their ideology, their condemnation of what differs from the norm and the way life has to be in their eyes. They don’t only have such an outlook on gay men, they look down on everyone too different from them. They also have strict gender roles. No sex before marriage and all that jazz. And they think the nation was better off going back to the old ways of life.” Devon informed the other as the man had apparently not gotten the full picture from what he had said as he thought they refused those technologies out of reasonable, personal and non-ideological reasons but they didn’t.

 

It was clear to see how the young man’s face was brightening up when Ashfield told him that it wouldn’t be a problem to ask Jeff questions if he could deal with the man ranting and he got the notion that Kario was truly fascinated by that village, maybe even finding some appeal about it.

The amusement about him comparing the fascination with people and villages like those to the fascination a shrink would feel confronted with Devon’s issues with his father was not any less obvious.

 

When the black haired answered his question as to what was that funny he was surprised that the other had thought about how the governor would try to survive in such a village. The rich man was putting on a fake pout crossing his arms. “Are you suggesting that I couldn’t live without my bathtub and armchair giving me massages, without delivery apps, having Clarence managing my social media presence, my car and its seat heater, air condition, video games, turning on and regulating the light in my house by clapping my hands and having to go to church every fucking day listening to some pastor’s preaching instead with the Bible being about the only book offered to read?” he asked as if the other had suggested something outrageous. Then he grinned widely. “If so you’re absolutely right.” He agreed as he was self-aware enough to know that he would hate to live in such a village and not make it long at all. He needed his luxury. “I wouldn’t want to live there even for a day. I have been there for a few hours and was thankful when I was leaving again.”

 

When his young lover suggested that they could use the sauna, the pool and bathhouse together some time with a smirk on his face it made Ashfield smile. “Certainly! It would be nice to not use them by myself anymore.” He told him and then a dirty grin appeared on his face. “Though I can’t promise I’ll behave when you’re sweating naked next to me in the sauna.” Devon told the other in a seductive tone of voice. The thought of seeing the other’s sweaty nakedness presented to him in the sauna and getting intimate there was incredibly appealing to him and his mind was creating rather graphic scenarios leading to him feeling how his lower regions were heating up as blood was rushing downstairs and he quickly shook his head to not think about that anymore.

 

The smirk on his lips got even dirtier when Kario admitted that he would love nothing more than to do just that, undressing him and showing him how much he wanted his body for himself but that with the unwanted guest they would have to host this wasn’t the right time now. “I suppose.” Devon agreed with a sigh. “It appears that even now that I am long divorced from her Mei is still a major cockblocker for me.” The governor joked laughing.

 

His golden eyes were sparkling when the other said he seriously considered it for him but that he would have to get informed about politics and what was going on the state and the country if he joined his party. “No problem. I give you all the information needed.” He offered right away actually excited about the prospect of being able to flood the other with his political stuff. “Alternatively you could do as my dad does if you don’t want to listen to all of this. Just make up your own ‘facts’ that further your personal opinions and goals.” He joked.

 

A huge wave of relieve was carrying him with it when he heard the other clarifying that he wouldn’t be mad about himself if they ended up doing it and he wouldn’t be able to go through the night without sex be that because Ashfield got an erection Kario wanted to take care of or any other reason. The blond wrapped his arms and one of his legs around the smaller body and pressed a kiss onto his lips. “I am really glad to hear this, you can’t imagine how.” He then said. “I was worried that you were being too harsh on yourself and that you’d beat yourself up too much about this.” He told him his relieve clearly showing through his words. “I don’t want you to feel bad or to stress yourself out about this.” He added pressing yet another kiss onto the younger man’s cheek.

 

After they had been jesting about Kario’s good memories of getting the governor out of his suits and Devon had leaned his body into the touch of the other’s hand wishing he would touch his bare torso his boyfriend’s hand was running over the buttons of his shirt and at one point he was actually playing with one of them apparently battling himself over whether to open it and undress Ashfield’s upper body and touch his naked skin or to leave his shirt alone. “Is that button the forbidden fruit and you’re asking yourself whether to eat it or not?” he asked. “I could argue that eating it is the fun way to go.” The blond teased the other a little as he couldn’t resist teasing him for fondling around with this button without opening it for quite a while.

 

 

 

He saw that his worry apparently had now infected the young man as well and that had not been his intention. Ashfield had not wanted to scare him and suggest that this was a major threat to their relationship, he just wanted to deal with this immediately before they dragged it around, it got fed and would become a problem that was harder to deal with in the future than right away.

When his lover agreed that it was okay for him to try and figure this out he gave him an encouraging smile as he was happy that the man was willing to invest some more thought into this for their sake. “Let’s see…” he started to think. “If it was not Mei’s behaviour, was it something I did or said? Or something that Mei said about me?” he asked questions that he thought might be helpful for the other to at least find a hint for what it had been that had gotten him to act this way and that had bugged him. “Or was it the fact that I have been married to her once perhaps? Maybe that I didn’t stop her from coming over and she stole our alone time? That I tried to comfort her when she was hyperventilating….?” The governor listed everything that he saw could have triggered that reaction from the other, continuing to think about it though he himself had really no idea at all and he was just trying a shot in the dark with his guesses.

 

Unfortunately his boyfriend was probably right that it would take quite some time to get Andrew Ashfield to treat the man with human dignity and though Kario felt like he could be patient about that Devon felt different. “I really like to hear that you deem having me as a win and a victory, especially a victory over my old man but I still don’t have your patience regarding this.” He told him. “Imagine it was your father who would act like this towards me and would say such things. I think you’d feel similar to how I feel about this then.” The blond thought, sighing.

 

The governor laughed at the reaction he got from the other after he had told him the reasons why Diego would be the perfect friend for his cute lover to hang out with. And he grinned cockily when the black haired asked him if he was worried if he made friends with another gay man. “Well, I sure as hell wouldn’t trust the bloke’s motives confronted with a man as cute and sexy as you are!” Ashfield answered still smirking. “I guess it would be really appeasing to know that the friend of yours never wanted more than to be your friend from you. So how about we say straight guys and total bottoms?!” he suggested jestingly as if he was making a deal with the other now, being aware of the fact that he was the last one to talk being friends with his ex-boyfriend and Tobias Mahler who was a work friend of his and who had made his motives as clear as he could have made them. Devon couldn’t help himself though. The mere idea of competition made him wanting to fight off that person so it would probably take him discipline to accept another gay top or versatile man being close to his boyfriend and it would definitely make him feel territorial and jealous and he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t show it so he would much rather avoid that scenario altogether.

 

Hearing his lover say that he was glad that Devon wasn’t bisexual because if he had been they’d probably had not ended up with each other made him smile warmly and he leaned his face towards the other’s soft hand that ran over the stubbles on his jaw once more. “I’m glad too.” He told him and added with an even wider smile. “And I love you.” Before he turned his head and kissed Kario’s hand that had been running over his jaw line.

Being told that dealing with the hormones of a pregnant lady was not easy he snorted. “That’s an understatement I suppose.” He commented and then a thought occurred to him. How the hell had his father dealt with his mother when she had been pregnant? Had he left her alone for that time living in one of his hotels or his office? Or did he lock her up in a soundproof room with some staff to take care of her? Or did he send her on a travel making it seem like a present? The governor speculated as he could not imagine his father being supportive of someone as emotionally fragile much less caring. Actually he couldn’t imagine him being supportive or caring of anyone. “I wonder how my father dealt with my mother when she was pregnant.” He articulated what he was thinking about and then another thought came to his mind. “Or she was unaffected by being pregnant with me to begin with because she already ignored me at that point. She might as well have been keeping herself busy with finding weird designer fashion to dress in even when she was pregnant and thinking about how to dress the baby fashionably later on.” He mused his eyebrows narrowing as he was concentrating.

 

The billionaire looked at the other as if he was joking now. “The question much rather is how can you like seeing this flawed side of me!? I find it to be one of my most unappealing sides that I would much rather not have nor show.” he answered with a question being honest about how he himself felt about showing such reactions sometimes. He found it embarrassing if someone saw that he was embarrassed but not appealing in anyway. Devon wasn’t even the cute type where this was pardonable. “I’m not even cute when I get embarrassed I just look like an idiot who failed to hide a weak spot when I blush.” He found not able to see what the other found this attractive about it. “So what is it that you find that appealing about a man like me getting embarrassed?”

 

Devon beamed at the other when he said that he’d much rather go to bed with him than to stay up alone as this was the answer he had wished for but he had to fight against closing his eyes regardless though he was unsuccessful and closed them when he had impudently placed his head onto the younger ones lap.

The politician had dozed off when he felt the other move after he had finished eating too and he had to take his head up that he was placing down onto the sofa right away instead before he felt the other taking his hand, getting up asking him to get up from the couch. “You’ll have to carry me sweetie!” the blond said jokingly reaching out his other arm as there was no way that Kario could carry Ashfield’s body upstairs. Vice versa maybe but not this way! He forced himself to open his eyes when the other said that he should not fall asleep on the couch as the both of them couldn’t sleep on it next to each other comfortably.

“I have the perfect solution for that. I call the man who designed and made this one and ask him to make the same sofa again just much larger.” He suggested buying a new sofa forcing himself to get up from the sofa following the other upstairs into the bedroom.

 

When they had arrived at the bedroom and Ashfield kicked off his shoes somewhere ready to throw himself on the bed he was stopped by the other who approached him determinedly and smirked at him. Devon grinned back cheekily when the man told him what he wanted to do and the next thing he felt were his boyfriend’s hands roaming over his torso down to the hem of his pants. “Be careful or you might wake up my dick.” The blond joked his grin getting dirty though if he was realistic he knew that this was incredibly unlikely at this point as his whole body was just screaming for rest. He let the young man get him out of his trousers which he kicked somewhere too as he didn’t bother to put them somewhere orderly as he usually did, waiting for the other to get him out of his shirt as well, which he just dropped onto the floor, just standing there with socks and his boxers on now. “My turn.” He said smirking, stepping closer to the young man getting his hands onto his shirt pulling it over his head messing up the black hair a little throwing Kario’s shirt onto his own clothing, letting his hands run down the man’s naked chest over the abdomen down towards his trousers which he opened and pulled down too so that the other just had to step out of them.

 

Standing there in their boxers he placed his hand onto the young man’s neck, pulled him close and kissed him deeply and dominantly, his tongue exploring the man’s mouth the last time for that night before they’d go to sleep. When he broke the kiss he smiled at his lover. “Good night!” he said, stroking his cheek before he walked towards the bed and got right into it without taking his sleeping pills. He felt like that day he had a chance of not needing them and regardless of this he couldn’t take them anyway when it wasn’t certain whether Kario would need his help during this night or not because if he took them he would wake up but would be incredibly sleepy and not able to help in anyway. So he wouldn’t take them no matter what.

 

There apparently indeed was no need to though, because when he moved towards the other spooning the younger man, holding him in his arms resting his head on his shoulder it didn’t take long and the governor fell asleep snoring slightly.

[Sathenus]

Kario couldn't help the smile that crossed his face being told Devon thought the hunting lodge instead of Paris really was the right decision for him. "I like to think so. I've never had an interest in seeing Paris. Other parts of France yes, but not Paris." He admitted with a small shrug. "I suppose you are right." He agreed. His own disinterest in such objects nowadays and choosing not to use them came out of knowing how addictive such devices could be and from years of being forced to go without them. The way such villages handles such things though was different, and he knew that though it was similar for him to go without those items, it was also largely different because of the reason he went without them. That was a fair enough point. The more Devon spoke the more he still found himself interested by such villages, his interest just couldn't seemed to be shaken or even tempered at the moment. Seeming to grow more and more with everything he learned about how the people living there perceived the world and how they thought it should be. "Hmm... no sex before marriage." He murmured his mind having caught onto that. He wasn't really sure why that was seen as a big deal to anyone. But that of course was just his opinion and he was sure there were other people who didn't live in such villages who felt that sex should wait until marriage.

 

Seeing the pout and the way his boyfriend crossed his arms over his chest made Kario raise an eyebrow at his lover in question. He got the answer to what he had been asking when Devon started speaking, this time another amused look crossed his face. That was of course exactly what he had been suggesting, and after Devon had finished speaking and then grinned widely followed by agreeing with him, Kario couldn't help but laugh. "At least you can admit that you wouldn't be able to do so." He mused with a smile. That was something he liked in itself, that Devon was aware that he enjoyed and maybe even relied on such luxuries. There wasn't any problem with admitting that, or acknowledging that you were dependant on some things, and Kario was truly glad that Devon could admit it. Knowing that there were plenty of people who would try denying it, even if someone had proof otherwise. "So a few hours of a village like that is all you can take?" Kario asked with a small smirk. To think that even a couple of hours had been to much for Devon and he had been thankful to leave was an interesting thought. Not surprising though.

 

Glad that the older man agreed they could use such things together in the future, and that it would be nice for him to not use them by himself anymore made Kario quite happy. Though the way that the other's grin became dirty told him Devon's mind had followed down a similar path to his own at the thought of them using such things together. The image that was painted in his mind at his lover's words made his own smirk turn a little dirty, "I wouldn't expect you to." He admitted. "I also can't promise that I won't try to seduce you. Though... it seems I wouldn't have to try very hard." He mused looking his lover over. It wasn't like he'd ever be completely innocent in those types of situations. How could he be? Especially since they both seemed to have a hard time behaving themselves when they were both fully dressed.

 

"Don't worry, handsome. We'll have plenty of other chances for me to show you just how much I want your body for myself." Though he was definitely amused when Devon joked that Mei was still being a cockblocker for him despite them being long divorced. A small smile crossing his face, he'd be sure to show the older man how much he wanted his body for himself another time. Probably even multiple times, but for now at least it just wasn't a possibility.

 

"You'd have to find a way to make it interesting. I'm terribly bad at remembering or paying attention to politics." If Devon really was going to help him become more informed about politics in their state and country then he was going to need the man to keep such a topic interesting. He had a very short attention span when it came to such a topic and could find himself being easily distracted by something or anything else. "Yeah... your father might be really good at that, but I don't think I'd pull that off. If anything I'd probably just sound like an idiot." He admitted with a shrug. Though Devon's father might be able to just make up his own 'facts' that would further his personal opinions and goals, Kario himself wouldn't have such luck. That was something he was already quite positive about.

 

The way Devon wrapped his arms and even on of his legs around him had been unexpected as was the kiss, though he certainly enjoyed being pressed closer to his lover's body and their lips meeting once more. Listening as Devon told him that he was glad to hear he wouldn't beat himself up over it. "I've already stressed myself out over it enough." He admitted with a small shrug. There was no point denying that, he had stressed himself out over this earlier that day, when he had just seemed to be unable to relieve his aching body despite numerous attempts to try. Being mad with himself for giving in, especially after making it this far already wouldn't be a big deal to him. Even if he wanted to make it longer, he knew what he had already done was a big enough milestone in itself. "But I am glad to know that you aren't worried I'll beat myself up about it anymore. The first day is always the hardest, so it only makes sense that I'd be the hardest on myself that day too."

 

"That's definitely a more interesting way to put it." His dark eyes moved up to meet Devon's golden gaze. It certainly was a more interesting way to put the battle he was having with himself. Though he figured it wasn't that far off either considering it really did seem to fit along those lines. When his boyfriend told him that he could argue eating it would be the fun way to go a smirk crossed his face. "True..." He mused, fingers still playing with the button. Giving in and allowing himself to run his hands over the governor's naked torso really would be the more fun route to take. So... what was stopping him from doing it? It's not like it was such a bad thing after all. With that thought in mind his fingers easily undid that button before moving to do the same with the rest. It didn't take him long to finish undoing it, and clearly it was done swiftly enough to show once more how used to doing such a thing had been common for him. Most of the clients he had in the brothel came in suits, learning to quickly undo their shirts, most often with only one hand was something he had become quite proficient in.

 

Now that the skin beneath was bared to him, he couldn't help but run his fingers along the other's torso. Once more allowing himself to explore the body beneath him and not really caring about anything else. It didn't cease to amaze him how great his boyfriend's body was no matter how many times he seemed to explore it. A hum of approval escaped him as his fingers continued running over the warm skin, gaze moving to lock with Devon's. "You're right of course, this is definitely the fun way to go." Leaning up he pressed their lips together again.

 

 

 

"I don't know." Kario sighed as he glanced away from Devon again. He didn't know if it was something that his boyfriend had done or said, or something that Mei had said about him. It was hard. Maybe even too hard to try to figure out, this was something that until Devon had said he was worried about what it might turn into that Kario himself had not been worried about. "Maybe..." He murmured feeling a small spark of the same emotion at the mention that Devon and Mei had been married before. But... why would that bother him? Kario didn't know, he did try to think over what was said after. Though he hadn't been the happiest person when Devon had gone over to comfort her, he knew that it had been necessary. She had worked herself up and needed to be comforted, and he certainly couldn't do it since he didn't really know her. But he didn't feel that emotion coming back at that thought either, that hadn't bothered him enough to cause any emotion other than a small sense of annoyance. Even that Devon hadn't stopped her from coming over and stealing their time alone didn't bring anything but mild annoyance. Shaking his head he sighed again. "I just don't know." He said after a moment finding that the more they tried to figure this out the more he became irritated with it. Not with Devon, but with himself for not knowing what had caused the emotion. If it really had been because the two had been married before, it only confused him more.

 

It wasn't like that news was new to him, it wasn't like he hadn't known that before she had come over. So why was it, that when he thought about it now that spark of that unknown feeling came back to him? It made no sense, and he couldn't put his finger on the reasoning behind it. Devon had been married once before, even if the marriage had failed miserably it had still happened, still existed. But why would that bother him now? That was what didn't make sense to him. It didn't make sense that an emotion would suddenly come into play that he couldn't identify on a subject that hadn't bothered him before. That and Devon was a gay man, so it wasn't like competition was something he had to worry about when it came to Mei. That and she was happily married now, and the two had a child on the way. He didn't feel this emotion when it came to Jeff, which made it all the more confusing.

 

"If things were reversed and my father was behaving that way towards you then you're right. I wouldn't be able to be as patient." Kario agreed with a nod. He had patience for the matter ultimately because it was aimed towards him. He was patient because it was about how someone was treating him, and not how someone was treating his boyfriend. Being used to people treating him poorly or acting as though he was less than human. "I guess a lot of my patience also comes with the fact that I'm used to people seeing and treating me along the same lines of your father. So... it doesn't really bother me anymore. It's normal."

 

Even though he knew that Devon was joking he couldn't help but laugh about it. "Deal!" He said with a smile. It didn't matter that the older man was joking, he truly didn't even mind doing that. Well, to the best of his ability. It wasn't like he could actually guarantee that he wouldn't end up becoming friends with a gay top or even a versatile man. That just wasn't possible, he had a naturally friendly nature and it wasn't like he could just outright tell those men he couldn't be friends with them because his boyfriend wouldn't like it. That wouldn't go over well with anyone, and he knew it was less that Devon wouldn't like those types of people, but their possible intentions. Though he doubted that anyone would try to push anything with him, especially if they were already aware that he was with Devon. He didn't really think anyone would try anything with someone they knew were already in a relationship. Though he figured he could be wrong.

 

"I love you too." Kario said with a smile. And of course he did, he always would love the older man. Already, he couldn't really see his life without him, even if they had literally only been together for two days and not have known each other for very long in general. The way Devon made him feel was a way no one else had, and he didn't want to give that up for anything.

 

"Some woman can handle being pregnant better than others and aren't so emotionally unstable. Still a bit unstable, but not as bad." Kario said with a shrug. He couldn't really see his boyfriend's father as being a supportive caring person to someone who was pregnant either, but he also didn't really know the man either. Maybe he had been, since she had been pregnant with his heir. That alone might have been enough for the man to be more caring, or maybe that was just wishful thinking on his own part. In the end, he had no idea how that had worked out, or how Devon's mother had been during pregnancy. Though he still wasn't surprised that Devon himself still couldn't see himself being able to deal with a pregnant woman and her hormones. "At least you'll never have to worry about getting a woman pregnant and having to deal with that." He added with a large smile.

 

"Maybe not to you, or most people. But I do find it rather attractive." Kario said with a small smile crossing his face. "I find it appealing when a man like you gets embarrassed because I like knowing you're capable of showing such emotion. I don't want to be with a guy who seems to be void of such things, or who can't even show his embarrassment around me no matter who they are." Reaching out he let his hand rest on Devon's cheek, "I love that you can be embarrassed around me, and show me that you're embarrassed. Even if it happens to embarrass you even more. I don't want you to try to hide that from me, or act like you aren't capable of embarrassment. It's part of being human after all."

 

Humming softly when Devon rested his head in his lap, Kario just continued to eat not disturbing his boyfriend who was clearly tired. When he had finished and urged Devon to get up off the couch, there was no hiding his amusement at the governor's attempt to get him to carry him. Unable to stop himself from laughing softly he flashed the older man a small smirk this time. "You know I would if I could, handsome." Kario certainly would if he was capable of doing so, but that definitely was not an option. Devon carrying him on the other hand was much more reasonable, but he was more than willing to walk up the stairs with the man. That and he wasn't sure how happy he'd be about an exhausted Devon picking him up, feeling as though Devon would be more inclined to drop him being this tired. Once the man was on his feet he heard the governor's solution to his couch being too small to comfortably fit the both of them. Amusement once more clear on his face as he started to lead Devon towards their shared bedroom. "Nonsense. How often do you think I'm going to let you have us sleep on the couch to where that would be necessary?" He asked curiously.

 

"I'll be careful." Kario responded. If it wasn't for the fact that Devon was so tired, he might have teased the idea of not being careful. But he was, and it wasn't long before he had Devon out of his pants and was quickly getting to work on the buttons of his shirt. Once the older man was down to his boxers and socks, Kario had expected the tired politician to jump right into bed. Instead, his boyfriend said it was his turn with a smirk before moving closer to him and pulling his shirt up over his head. Kario didn't complain, instead with a small chuckle he let Devon help him out of his clothes as well, feeling Devon's hands running down his bare torso before they were helping him out of his pants. It wasn't long before he too was standing there in his boxers.

 

Being pulled close and into a deep and dominante kiss seemed like a good way to say goodnight to him. When it broke he was left once more with a small smile on his face watching the older man as he said goodnight and instantly moved towards the bed. "Night, love." He replied watching him for a moment before he moved over to join him in the bed. Shifting into a comfortable position he instantly felt Devon move closer to him, arms wrapping around him and his boyfriend's head resting on his shoulder. He let out a soft sound before he let his own eyes slip shut. He wasn't sure how long he laid there with his eyes shut and listening to Devon's slight snoring but it became apparent to him rather quickly that this was not happening.

 

With a frustrated sound he let his eyes open, staring into the dark space. This was irritating, and he tried his best to keep himself from moving and waking Devon despite the fact that he obviously wasn't going to be sleeping any time soon. Kario had no idea how long he was just lying there for before he really couldn't take it anymore. It had to be the early hours of the morning when he shifted in his lover's arms, glancing at him the best he could debating if he really should wake him up for some help. In the end, he knew he really didn't have much of a choice if he was going to get any sleep tonight at all. Shifting as carefully as he could, he reached out to run his hand gently over his lover's cheek.

 

"Devon." He murmured softly, not wanting to scare him since he wasn't sure how easy it was to wake the man to begin with. Once the older man was stirring and seeming to wake up he couldn't help himself, pressing his lips to the others in a way to wake him up easier. Kario felt bad that he even had to wake him up to begin with, since he would much rather let Devon get his sleep after what had to be a busy and clearly tiring day. When he broke the kiss he let his lips move to Devon's neck instead. If he was going to disturb his lover to help him out with a problem, the least he could do was wake him up in a more pleasant manner.

[-Hideki-]

An interested look crossed Ashfield’s face when the other said that he had never had an interest in visiting Paris but other parts of France he’d like to see. “And where in France would you like to go?” the governor asked wanting to know where his lover would like to go so he could plan a trip for them to go there as well sometimes. He also thought that he had caught onto that Kario was apparently just not interested in large cities and tourist attractions but a lot more into seeing the country side, culture and nature of the place he went to.

 

Though his boyfriend agreed with him that his motivation and those of the people in Jeff’s home village weren’t comparable the fascination he could see on the young man’s face didn’t die off and he still seemed to glow and wanting to learn more about it. While he was looking at him he got another idea of what fields could be interesting for the young man. “Maybe studying cultures and different belief systems would be something for you as well. Or sociology.” he suggested as he was looking at him stroking a black strand of hair out of the young man’s face.

 

The way the black haired murmured ‘No sex before marriage’ repeating what Devon had listed about the village made the politician laugh. “Ja, so I wouldn’t qualify for a life there anyway. I’ve had plenty of sex before I married Mei. Though I have convinced her otherwise and actually used that to make her belief that I wanted to wait until marriage to keep her from initiating sex. It’s still hard to believe that she actually bought the lie that I was a virgin…. Or straight for that matter.” The blond man chuckled and then a smirk appeared on his face. “I could never wait that long with you, it’d be torture.” He commented still smirking.

 

Kario laughed about the way Ashfield had admitted that he needed luxury in his life and the blond indeed had no problem saying it how it was because he would not even want to refrain from luxury. When he saw a smirk on his cute lover’s face asking if a few hours in such a village were all he could take the governor laughed and grinned. “Yes. A few hours of listening to all the blabbering about god and a decent, morale life is all I can take. It’s exhausting- Maybe if you’d send the people away and I’d not have to listen to that stuff I’d make it one or two days before becoming grumpy.” He nodded and then added. “But why would I even try? There is no reason to and I doubt it’d be worth it. The only one who I am willing to try to remain from any luxury and sleep in a tent in the forest for is you.” The blond man stated remembering their camping plans his golden eyes looking into the other’s brown ones before he took the man’s face into his hands and kissed him gently. “For you I’d try. I’d even try cooking myself for you though I doubt it would be eatable.” He laughed. “But you’ll have to keep me entertained or my mood will probably drop.” He winked.

 

Devon laughed amused when he heard the other say that a) he couldn’t promise that he would behave and not try to seduce him in the sauna or the pool and b)that it seemed that he wouldn’t have to try hard to seduce him. That was pretty much the truth. The young man generally had an easy time exciting him and didn’t have to do much to arouse him so he’d probably be hard for the other before he could even try to seduce him. “There is no denying that.” he confessed. “The mere thought about us in the sauna turns me on and makes me hot for you and your sexy body.” The blond breathed into the other’s ear. “You’d just have to sit there and I’d have a difficult time controlling myself already.” Ashfield told him and it was true. He was certain that if his mind would have gotten hooked on the scenario and he’d have focussed on that he’d have gotten a boner from what was going on on his mind and the imagery it was creating.

 

“Isn’t my handsome face and overall attractiveness enough to keep you interested in what I tell you about politics or would you just check my body out and not pay attention to what I said?” he joked rather amused. “Then I’d have to think about using the reward system to keep you focussed.” The governor smirked dirtily and his eyes had a teasing, sexual spark in them.

He couldn’t keep that up and was starting to laugh when Kario reacted to the suggestion to just make up random things to further the own goal like his father did. “Looking like an idiot has never kept my father from doing that.” the blond let his lover know still laughing. “You’ll learn that about him soon enough. Or maybe you already have.” He warned him that his father did that in his private life a lot even more so than in his business life maybe.

 

Ashfield softly nudged his nose onto the other’s neck letting his hands roam over the younger man’s torso. “I know.” He said when the other told him that he had already stressed himself out over that enough that day. “That’s why I have been that worried.” He added before he pressed his lips onto Kario’s neck, licking over the salty skin about to start to suck on it when he remembered that he was not supposed to do this now as it would not be helpful. “Sorry.” The blond said and restrained himself from doing any of that going back to just holding his lover.

 

A grin was to see on his face when his boyfriend agreed that opening the button and baring Ashfield’s chest to him was the fun route to take and he closely watched him when he continued to play with the button before he decided to give in and open it, the other buttons on his shirt quickly following. Kario was definitely quick and proficient at undressing a man, unusually proficient and things like that were a reminder of what the other had worked as the last couple of years. Devon himself was much less proficient undressing the young man but that was to be expected.

He relaxed and got even more comfortable when he felt Kario’s fingers caressing his bared skin, tracing over his body and his muscles. “I’m almost always right.” He said amused with a wink when the other said that he had been right and that this indeed was the fun way to go.

 

 

 

He listened to his boyfriend closely as they were trying to figure out what had bothered the other enough to make him behave that way. And after they had been through all of it the other said that he just didn’t know again. Devon was thinking, lightly shaking his head in disagreement then looking into the brown eyes. “You said ‘maybe’ when I asked you if it was because I have been married to Mei once so there must be something bothering you about that.” He then said. “Is it the mere fact that I have been married?” he wanted to know. “Married to a woman maybe? Or that the marriage was ‘fake’?” he speculated. “Are you jealous? If so I can assure you there is nothing to be jealous about. I have never had any romantic feelings or feelings of attraction for her. Not for a mere second. I didn’t desire her and our marriage was political tactic and a disaster.” He made that clear to him again. “Or aren’t you jealous and it is the subject of marriage in itself?” the blond thought digging deeper into this. “How do you feel about marriage? Is that something that you’ve wished to do, getting married?” he asked. “Did you always want to marry and wanted the marriage to be the first time for both partners going that route together giving this promise for the first time?” the governor suspected his golden eyes laying on the other questioningly. “Or the fact that I have given a promise to this woman that was a lie?” If it really bugged the young man that he had been married before that was difficult as it was nothing he could change now as it laid in the past and it had happened. He could use Sven’s argument and reduce it to fiction that wasn’t real anymore but just thought in the mind now but that probably wouldn’t be helpful either especially considering there were really real documents of their marriage and divorce and Mei had appeared in Devon’s life again that evening because of their past. If it really was this that had bugged him the only thing he could do was to talk with the other man about this as it was how it was. Devon had married her for the sake of his career and had gotten divorced afterwards and he couldn’t undo that though if he could he would.

 

“See. I think that it’s understandable that I won’t tolerate him acting towards you like that.” the blond said nodding as he had expected that Kario would feel the same if it was the other way around. Most people wouldn’t be able to bear with one of their parents constantly humiliating and degrading the one they loved. It was hurtful on more than one level. What followed than made his eyebrows narrow and his face going stern. “No!” he objected. “It’s not normal and not right either.” Devon protested when his young lover said that it was the norm for him as he was used to people treating and seeing him like Ashfield Senior did. The blond laid his hands on the man’s shoulders and slowly and gently let them run down his arms while he was nudging against the other’s jaw. “And I can’t understand how anyone can be cruel and mean towards someone as sweet and kind as you are.” The governor stated sighing. “When I look at you I want to make you happy, I want you to smile and I want to be the best, better than I actually am, my best possible self.” He confessed. “And knowing that some jerks treat you poorly makes me rage inside.” The politician stated searching for the other’s lips kissing him quickly and softly.

 

Regardless of the playfulness on his face there was a real shine in his eyes and he was beaming at the younger man when he agreed to the deal the other had offered him unseriously. Again he was surprised as he had not expected Kario to agree to trying to only make friends with straight men and total bottoms. He had expected a teasing comment or a condition but it seemed that Devon had just made the perfect deal right there. “Probably the best deal I’ve ever made and I made quite the deals before.” He winked with a grin, kissing his young lover greedily and deeply, his tongue wrapping around the black haired male’s tongue.

 

 

There was a weird looking smile on his face at that comment. “Yes, that’s true. I certainly am spared going through dealing with a pregnant woman.” He said as it was true. However that was accompanied with the thought of not being able to farther an heir and building a family so even though he was thankful to be gay as he didn’t have to put up with an emotionally fragile and hysteric woman during 9 months of pregnancy it still was a double edged sword to him after all he had to realise.

 

Ashfield blushed when he heard his lover speak about why he found it appealing when Devon got flustered and embarrassed. It seemed like Kario appreciated the very aspect that his father had tried to get out of him and that he had been put down for. That the black haired loved when the blond showed those types of emotions to him even though the governor never purposefully did, as he was always trying to hide it though it sometimes was impossible. He had been taught to hide it in an attempt to pretend that he didn’t have them what his father had wanted to see. Although those feelings had never left the blond man, he had just buried them and tried to hide them and whenever he felt something like that he was ashamed about it. His old man had not succeeded to rid him off of it, he had just made Devon feel bad about having and showing it. The man coughed and looked at the other again feeling like his face had gotten less heated. “Good for you that I am not always successful in hiding it then.” He joked. “I think my skin is too transparent so it’s extremely visible when I well… am embarrassed.” The blond said. “It’s interesting though that you seem to love what’s a flaw about me this much.” The blond said and he was glad that the other did as it felt like balm on wounded skin to him to be told that he didn’t even want someone who was only tough and strong what his father had said was necessary for him to become a decent man.

 

There was a grin on his face at Kario’s comment about his suggestion to just buy a bigger sofa so that them falling asleep on there wouldn’t be a problem anymore. The black haired didn’t seem too fond of this idea asking him how often he thought the young man would let Ashfield just sleep on the couch with him. “How strict of you.” The blond jested in a suggestive tone of voice with a dirty smirk on his lips.

 

 

There was a faint noise appearing in his dream and he thought that he could feel something soft caressing his cheek. It took a while for him to realise that his name was said and another while to make out that it wasn’t in his dream. Ashfield was half awake now, hearing what was around him and feeling the touch. “Hmm.” He made a sound having the impulse to turn to the other side and to continue to sleep but before he automatically had done that he felt the warm and soft lips of his cute boyfriend on his own. He engaged in the kiss though he was half asleep and the deeper he kissed the more awake he got. As their lips parted he blinked his eyes slightly, opening them, instantly feeling those lips on his neck. Ashfield laid his head to the side giving some space, letting Kario caress him while fully waking up, humming slightly.

 

When he was fully awake he shifted, lightly pushing the black haired onto the mattress leaning over him. Devon didn’t have to ask what was the matter he knew very well why the other had woke him up and what he craved from him. Hence he would spare the man saying that he was not able to bear it anymore and needed his cock to be able to sleep. It was obvious and Ashfield knew that Kario was conscious about the way his body had become dependent on sex so he wouldn’t put salt into his wound by forcing him to say it.

 

The blond turned on the light and dimmed it down that it was merely as bright as a few candles would have been to spare their eyes sudden brightness. The governor pulled the other into another, passionate and deep kiss, his tongue claiming the other’s mouth. When their lips parted he started to kiss down the other’s throat towards his neck, aiming right at the other’s erogenous spot pressing his tongue onto it, sucking it, slightly and sexually biting the other before travelling further down his mouth accompanied by his hands that were caressing the other’s torso while the blond licked and sucked Kario’s nipples, his eyes constantly gazing up into his boyfriends face, examining his expression.

 

After he felt like he had played with the nipples enough he was wandering further down kissing the other’s heated skin until he reached the hem of his boxers. Ashfield put his teeth onto the fabric, pulling it down, freeing his lover’s delicious dick, using his hands to undress the other completely and throw the boxers away not even realising that they landed on the head of one of the statues. Shifting again, going further down the governor licked over Kario’s balls before taking one after the other into his mouth vigorously sucking on them whilst looking up to the young man. Devon felt how he was getting excited and how he got turned on and his blood was starting to rush down into his cock.

 

Having paid his balls attention he went over to the other’s cock, giving it a lick, pressing his tongue onto the veins before putting the head of the black haired man’s dick into his mouth, starting to suck it while one of his hands was stroking the length of his lover’s member and the other hand was massaging the balls.

From time to time he let his tongue press onto the glans, shoving it under the foreskin and then going back to sucking. While he was sucking and tasting his lover’s dick, swallowing pre-cum whilst taking in the hot sight of his reaction and the pleasure on the other’s face, his own cock was starting to stand up rather proudly already, his dick throbbing and the governor’s body starting to feel heated as well. For a moment he had to think of Jeff telling his father that he sucked dick and he didn’t only do that, it also turned him on to do that. If one told his father that he got a hard on from sucking cock and playing with his lover’s body the old man would probably get a heart-attack. It only made him suck more eagerly and pleasure the other more though.

 

Having done that for a while he stopped as he knew that what the other was yearning for was something else than having his dick paid attention to. So the politician was gently spreading the young male’s legs and arse cheeks, his eyes flashing up lustily when he saw the tight rosy hole his dick twitching in anticipation as he was taking in the sight. Ashfield was certain that after a whole day without sex Kario’s hole would be tighter than before. When he had first been to the brothel he had not been the first man that day to have sex with him and the other’s hole had already been loosened a lot. Devon was teasing it rubbing his index finger over it before he leaned over and got down on the other, his wet tongue licking over it, before he pressed his lips onto it to suck it, then licking again and starting to prod that tempting hole of his lover a little with his tongue. Then he stopped, taking his fingers to spread it, taking a close look, getting more enthralled and aroused. The governor used his tongue again, this time shoving it inside of his hot boyfriend as deep as he could, letting it move and swirl around there.

 

He did this until he felt the younger man’s muscle relax and could be certain that he was comfortable. Devon pulled his tongue out of Kario’s hole, placing a few kisses onto his thigh before he shifted and moved towards the corner of the bed to search for something in the bedside cabinet. “Just a moment.” the man told the other as he was just getting the lube that was half empty because they had fucked like rabbits the day before. Getting back to his boyfriend he was applying the lubricant on and into the hole with his fingers, not able to resist the temptation of toying with the young male’s prostate, hitting and pressing his fingers against it. It didn’t take long and he pulled them out again, ridding himself of his own boxers applying some lube onto his cock, stroking it rather frantically to get it harder.

 

He moved closer towards Kario, a hungry gaze in his eyes and a smile on his face when he looked into the brown eyes of the other man. Devon rubbed his dick over the other’s entrance. “I’ll put it in. If you want to cum just do so, even if it is from me entering you. We can take care of me otherwise then.” he let him know that he wasn’t expecting him to last long and that he didn’t want the other to have to hold back after he had hold back the whole damn day.

 

Ashfield took the young man’s legs and placed them over his shoulders lifting his arse up from the mattress before he carefully stuck his dick inside, pleasure shooting through him as he felt the tight, hot walls clenching around his thick, pulsating rod making him moan. Devon started to thrust into him, finding his rhythm and increasing the pace, aiming right at the other’s sweet spot. The blond leaned over, his hand closing around the young man’s dick starting to wank it as he pressed their lips together in a wild, feverish kiss, moaning into it as his cock was milked by the choke of his lover’s muscle.

[Sathenus]

"I've always kinda wanted to see Normandy, France." Kario admitted thinking about it a small smile crossing his face. "You know, the smaller areas that actually show the culture of the people, towns surrounded by amazing views." The more he thought about it, the more appealing it got to him. "I don't want to see what most tourists go there for. You can't really appreciate the country that way." He admitted with a small shrug. He wanted to see the country and the culture for what it was, not what they showed for their tourists. That wasn't to say that Paris itself was lacking in culture, but a lot of it probably had to do more with tourism than it did anything else. Which was fine with Kario, since he wasn't a fan of big cities anyway.

 

"That could be interesting actually." There was a thoughtful look that crossed his face, he did have a love for different culture. So... maybe studying it would be a really good idea. Especially if it meant he could immerse himself in such cultures and belief systems more. "That's actually quite appealing." He added after a moment of thought a small smile crossing his face. He'd be lying to himself and Devon if he tried to play off his interest in such matters. That and he could truly find himself enjoying such study.

 

"I wouldn't either." Kario himself wouldn't qualify for that either, as he had definitely had sex before marriage. It was amusing to think that Devon had convinced Mei that he didn't want to have sex before marriage and that he was a virgin. What was more amusing about that was the fact that she actually fell for it though. Did she really believe someone as attractive as Devon was able to wait until marriage? He doubted it. The comment about not being able to wait that long with him made a smirk replace his smile. "How sweet, though it's definitely mutual. I wouldn't be able to wait that long with you either."

 

He was glad that Devon could at least admit that type of life wasn't for him. But he was interested in the fact that Devon thought he might be able to make it a full day or two if they got rid of the people there. That probably would increase his boyfriend's chances of successfully living there for awhile. Even if just a few days. The mention of them camping again made his eyes light up again, and he was glad that the governor was willing to give up the luxury he was used to and sleep in a tent for him. Being told that the politician would even try cooking himself made a more amused look cross his face, especially being told that the man doubted it would be eatable. "That really is sweet, and I have to admit watching you try to cook no matter what the actual outcome of the food is really appealing." He'd love to see it, considering he didn't know how many times he'd ever get to try to see that. Probably only when he was able to convince Devon to go camping, so he'd enjoy it while he could. "Oh, don't worry. I will definitely keep you entertained love." He replied with a large smile.

 

"Already imagining us naked together in the sauna, are you?" He asked amused. "I can say without a doubt that I'd definitely have no problem sitting there and seeing how long you can behave yourself." It really was an appealing thought. But Kario also knew that he wouldn't be able to behave himself and just sit there for very long either. It was also quite nice to know that Kario wasn't the only one who got aroused and hot at the thought of them sitting in the sauna together, both naked and sweating. A soft hum escaped him at the thought, his eyes raking over his lover's body once more. He had to admit, he was really looking forward to that coming true.

 

"Your handsome face and attractiveness will keep me interested, but not in what you're saying about politics." Shrugging with a sheepish smile. There was no denying that Devon would have his attention, just not in the way his lover would probably want when trying to teach him about and inform him more on politics. "Probably just check out your handsome body and not pay attention to anything you say." This time his eyes locked with the governor's a smile on his face. "Hmm... award system? That could be interesting." He mused. There was no denying that he was interested in what exactly Devon would do in the form of an award system. Though he figured that such a thing probably would make him pay more attention to what Devon was teaching him about politics, and allow him to focus less on his lover's handsome face and body.

 

Humming softly at the way Devon nudged his nose against his neck, and the feeling of his boyfriend's hands roaming over his torso made him relax more against him. He didn't doubt that his boyfriend knew he had stressed himself out over it enough for one day. He wasn't expecting Devon's lips to press against his neck before the man's tongue was licking over it. A pleasured shiver raked down his spine and he moaned softly, hands gripping a his lover tightly. He received an apology and felt his lover's hands return to just holding him against the older man. Dark eyes drifting shut as he let out a deep sigh, "It's okay." He murmured nuzzling into the other's neck and trying to get a grip on himself again. "Such a tease." He added with a shaky breath, tilting his head back to look up into his lover's face. "You'll have to make this up to me later." He teased the older man. Trying to shed some light on the fact that he Devon had unconsciously tested his restraint and determination not to give it. He loved that his boyfriend was attracted to him, and that he wanted to touch him in such a way. But his body was to desperate to handle even simple touches like that.

 

 

 

Noticing Devon shaking his head made him give the man a curious look, but the blonde seemed to have caught onto his 'maybe' in regards to if it was because he had been married to Mei at one point. Of course the governor would have caught onto that, and that clearly something about it had bothered him. "No." He said when he was asked if he was jealous, though the fact that he glanced away from Devon at the same time he denied it probably didn't help him convince the older man much less himself that it was true. Was it true though? If it was... that would explain why he hadn't been able to place what the feeling was. He had never been jealous before, never felt like there was anything to be jealous over. A blush colored his face when he was asked if it was the subject of marriage itself, followed by being asked a few questions about it. The moment he was asked if getting married was something he wanted wished to do his blush got more prominent and he felt himself getting a bit more embarrassed. "Don't most people wish to get married?" He asked trying to get rid of some of his embarrassment. "Of course I wished to... and I still would like too." Kario admitted feeling his embarrassment getting even worse. This was such a nightmare. He felt like he could die of embarrassment at this point.

 

"No... or well... I never cared if it was my partner's first marriage. I never thought about whether or not they would have been married before." There was no point in denying that. He hadn't paid attention to such details, more of just thought about wanting to get married to that special guy that he'd spend the rest of his life with. "I don't know, Devon. It's not like I didn't know you were married to her before. You didn't hide that from me, and it didn't bother me then. But..." He trailed off. It had ended up bothering him, that was clear. Kario just couldn't understand why it hadn't bothered him from the beginning, it hadn't affected him until Mei was here, before him. Glancing away from Devon he sighed, "It didn't bother me until she was here... until I couldn't just ignore it." It was easy to forget that Devon had been married once before when the other person wasn't around or part of their life. Being faced with Mei made it impossible to ignore though, especially since it seemed that was the reason she was having a problem with his lover's father. "I guess... I can't deny that knowing she was married to you makes me jealous. But it really didn't bother me, until we came face to face." Lying and denying his feelings about it wouldn't help them, if anything it would just make it worse in the end. They were having this discussion in order to stop this from developing into a problem that would cause them to fight and put strain on their relationship later on. Being honest with Devon about it was the best thing he could do to ensure that they were able to move past this. Even if his embarrassment at being jealous of a woman in the first place was almost overwhelming.

 

There wasn't any surprise that Devon objected to what he had said about it being normal for people to treat him the way the blonde's father did. Instead he was told it wasn't normal or right. Maybe not, to anyone else. To him, and to every guy working as a prostitute in the brothel it was. Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if female prostitutes dealt with the same or similar things as well. It was normal to them, even if it wasn't right it was normal. The hands on his shoulders, running down along them and down his arms as Devon nudged his jaw. Listening to him speak and tell him how he didn't understand how anyone could be cruel and mean towards him. "You make me happy just being yourself. You don't have to try to be more than that." Kario said with a smile. Noticing Devon searching for something before their lips were caught in a quick and soft kiss. When it broke he gave his boyfriend a small smile, "At least since I don't work for the brothel anymore you won't have to deal with anyone treating me that way anymore." Sure the blonde's father still did, but that would take time. At least Devon wouldn't have to deal with anyone else treating him that way anymore. Or he thought that he wouldn't at least.

 

"I'm sure it's also one of the easiest deals you have ever made. Since you didn't have to offer anything in return." Kario mused with a smile. The kiss he recieved was one he rather eagerly returned, leaning into the kiss more. "If this is the type of reward I get for making a deal with you, we'll have to make some more."

 

 

Running his gers through his lover's hair he gave him a small smile, having a feeling he knew where Devon's mind had gone to once more. He had no idea what his lover had to be feeling, having been faced with Mei who was pregnant, the very person he had been unable to produce an heir with and who was having a child with the person he had been running against for governor in the last election. It had to be hard, but he still had hope that a year from now, on his lover's birthday after some soul searching of his own that he'd be able to give the man some good news at least. It wasn't to late for Devon to have his family, it would just be more difficult now.

 

"I truly wish you weren't successful at hiding it at all. It's part of being human, Devon. I want to see that side of you, and be able to be here for you. It would be hard to do that and give you support to help you feel less embarrassed if you successfully hid it from me." Kario replied with an encouraging smile. He remembered from the stories that Devon had told him, that those very emotions were something his father had tried to get out of him. He didn't want the governor to hide those emotions from him though, Devon meant to much to him. He wanted to be able to share that part of his lover's life with him as well. "This goes back to our earlier conversation of sharing our lives with each other. This is part of your life I want you to share with me, so I can be supportive and help you feel better about the things that embarrass you. So you don't have to deal with them alone."

 

Noticing the dirty smirk and the suggestive tone in his lover's voice made him smirk himself. "I certainly can be strict. But I'll let you occasionally convince me to sleep on the couch with you." He said as they entered the bedroom and he shut the door behind them. He couldn't help that the idea of their bodies being forced closer together because of a small space was actually highly appealing. Which was one of the reasons why he had refused the idea of Devon buying a bigger one that would allow them to fall asleep there without any problems.

 

 

 

Devon returning his kiss was definitely a positive reaction, since he had figured the older man was still to asleep to offer much with the kiss. As it deepened though he felt Devon returning it more, and by the time he finally broke the kiss his lover's eyes had opened and met his own gaze. That made him smile, as he continued to caress his lover, helping him wake fully. When Devon had woken up fully he felt the older man shift pushing him onto the mattress and moving over him. Looking up into the other's golden eyes he was glad that he didn't have to tell Devon what he needed, but that his lover knew what he needed. It was definitely a positive thing, since he wasn't sure that he would be able to voice it after waiting so long for sex.

 

He became even more thankful when the light was turned on but dimmed, so not to hurt their eyes. His gaze locked back on Devon their lips meeting in another passionate and deep kiss. Happily he returned it, using the kiss to distract himself from the ache that was growing inside of him. His hand reaching up and cupping his lover's cheek, moaning softly into the kiss. The feeling of his boyfriend's lips moving to his neck made him moan the moment they brushed the skin, he really was desperate. Tilting his head slightly to make it easier for Devon to pay attention to the erogenous spot on his neck. His body was already drowning in the feeling of the governor's lips against his already heated skin. The moan that escaped him when his nipple was taken up by the other's mouth being licked and sucked made his face flush in embarrassment.

 

The more attention Devon gave to his body the more it ached for the real thing, he wanted his lover inside of him. There was a sense of relief that came over him upon being relieved of his boxers, leaving his body completely bare for his lover. "Devon!" Kario moaned desperately. His breaths were labored by the time Devon had finished paying his balls attention and moved to his cock instead. He groaned as his tongue pressed against the veins along his cock making his back arch unconsciously. The more Devon touched him and sucked on his cock the closer he was being pushed over the edge. He was already overly sensitive from going so long without sex.

 

The finger that was teasing his hole made him bite his lip, the teasing make him even more anxious for what he was craving and knew wasn't that far off anymore. He hadn't expected Devon to move down and bring his lips to his twitching entrance. Gasping as his lover started to suck it, his hand flew to the older man's head. Fingers twining into the golden strands that he still found unnaturally soft to the touch. Encouraging him to continue to suck and lick his hole, feeling the older man's tongue prodding it. He wasn't expecting his boyfriend to stop using his fingers to spread his hole which made a shiver rake down his spine before his mouth was back his tongue pressing inside. A deep pleasured moan parting his lips as his back arched, one of his hands fisting into the sheets beneath him. He struggled not to tighten the hand in his lover's hair to much, not wanting to hurt Devon. At the same time he was quickly losing himself to the pleasure.

 

When it stopped he had been so close to his climax that he let out a needy whine. Finally letting his hand slip from Devon's hair and fall back to his side, the hand that had been clinging to the sheets released it. The kisses to his thigh made him watch the older man with desperate eyes, waiting for him to do as he needed. Truly feeling like he was going to die if Devon did take him right now and finally grant him his much needed release. Watching the man move towards the corner of the bed made him groan impatiently, though he was told just a moment. His eyes were following Devon's every move, he was happy that he didn't have to wait to long. The blonde returning and starting to apply the lube, getting him ready. He knew Devon was being a tease now, feeling the other's fingers toying with his prostate, hitting and pressing against it making his legs feel weak.

 

A needy sparkle appeared in his eyes as the governor rid himself of his boxers as well, watching the man's hand apply lube to it and stroking it frantically to make it harder. The harder it got the more Kario ached for it, craving it. Finally Devon seemed to be ready before moving closer to him again, their hungry gazes meeting, noticing the smile on the older man's face. His hole twitched impatiently when he felt Devon rubbing his dick against his prepped hole. It was really sweet of his lover to say that he should just cum if he wanted too, even if it was just from Devon entering him. At this point he felt like that was all it was going to take to bring him to orgasm. But he was still going to do his best to at least last longer than though. "Okay." He let out on a shaky breath, so desperate for it.

 

Legs being hooked over his boyfriend's shoulders as his ass was lifted from the mattress made him bite his lip again. Finally he was getting what his body had been craving for far to long, feeling his lover's cock pressing against his ass before it was finally pushing inside. He moaned deeply as his back arched, finally feeling the fullness he had been craving. Just as he had thought and as Devon has figured as well he almost came just from being entered. His body shuddering as he felt Devon start to move, feeling him thrust into him, pace increasing and aiming straight for his prostate. When Devon leaned over him, his hand closing around his cock, Kario was quick to wrap his arms around the other. Clinging tightly to him as he moaned, truly pleasured sounds escaping him as he clung tighter to the man he loved the closer he was brought to his climax.

 

He didn't last very long at all before he was releasing in the governor's hand, his ass tightening even more around that hard cock buried inside of him. That only drove him even more crazy, to feel just how prominent each one of Devon's thrusts were now. Despite having reached his climax, his grip on Devon didn't loosen at all. Shifting his lips managed to find the older man's dragging him into a deep and passionate kiss. Desperate to keep his cock deep inside of him, not quite wanting it to stop yet. It didn't even matter that he had already reached his climax, Devon hadn't. With how sensitive his body was, it wasn't like he wouldn't be able to climax again. It would probably be better for his body if he did considering how long he's gone without it.

 

Breaking the kiss he panted his eyes locked on his lover, "Damn.... your cock feels amazing, Devon." He breathed as he clung to him tighter. Making it clear that though he had reached his own release, he didn't want Devon to stop. Sure he could bring his lover off another way, but he really was enjoying the feeling of him inside of him. The ache and pain that had been filling his body all day was finally easing and making him feel much better. Suddenly, he didn't really understand why he was fighting it so hard. Even if he knew that he needed to beat this, there was no reason why he couldn't beat it while still allowing his body to gain some relief. It wasn't going to be easy, but taking a slower approach would probably be the best route to take in the long run.

 

This wasn't something he could force, he had to be patient with his body and the addiction it was suffering. At least he knew that he had a great guy to support him. In one day, Devon had been more supportive than he had ever thought he would be. "You're the best guy ever..." He shakily breathed out.

[-Hideki-]

A smile was to see on Devon Ashfield’s face when he heard Kario telling him that he’d like to see the Normandy and was explaining to him why he preferred to see that place in comparison to Paris or any other tourist city for that matter because that was what he had assumed from his lover’s reactions before.

“I can understand why you would like to see more authentic places compared to those that are widely shaped by the tourist industry to cater to visitors from abroad.” He said. “I have never paid too much attention to tourist attractions myself. I usually had other reasons for my travels too, be that business or having fun. I have to confess though that I seldom went anywhere solely for the culture.” The governor told the black haired. “So you might as well will have a good influence on me in that regards.” He added and then smiled. “I also have never been to the Normandy in particular so it`d be a new place to explore for the two of us together as well. And the place has history too.” The blond stated making it quite clear that he liked the idea of going there with his boyfriend.

 

The smile didn’t die off when he heard the other say that the idea he had for what the other could pursue career wise was interesting to the young man. “I have to say that I found the idea of you as an archaeologist appealing already but I could definitely also imagine you studying today’s cultures and subcultures and analysing their believe systems and ways of life. Especially since you are so eager to be understanding and have tried to understand me even though you have found it difficult in some moments.” The blond argued for it. “Maybe there are such majors offered at the university Diego goes to. I can ask him for you or you could ask yourself if you’d prefer that too. Then you could go and see if the university or any majors they offer is something for you. If not and you’d like another university or subject better I could easily pay for that as well but this particular university is the local one in this city so I thought it was ideal.” The governor offered again. It was important to him to make those suggestions and to show the other that he had a prospect to look forward to now and that there were so many chances he had to choose from for building a future. He also had an interest to get him interested into something local. Not because he wouldn’t pay elite universities for the other and didn’t want to pay more money but because he wanted him close and if he were to leave the city, the state even they’d be apart and Ashfield would not only miss him he also doubted that he was the type for long distance relationships as he wanted the man he loved around. Not to say that if Kario did decide to go to another state be that for university or for work or into another country even, he’d try to make it work out somehow regardless.

 

The amusement on his lover’s cute face didn’t escape his eyes and he grinned back at him, the grin getting a little suggestive when the other said that no matter what would come from it the idea of Devon cooking was an appealing one to him. “Is that so?” he asked with a raised eyebrow the grin still present on his face.

“I didn’t know that you’d find me cooking sexy as well. I have to disappoint you a little when I say that I don’t have an apron I could wear though.” The politician teased the other. Having never cooked anything himself he was convinced that if he tried it would be anything but sexy and much more so a total mess that made him look clumsy and unskilful.

 

He wrapped his arms around the young man’s hips though when Kario said that he’d make sure to keep him entertained when they went camping and that was what was appealing about the idea to him. Well, that and the fact that it would make the man he loved happy if they did this together and Ashfield at least tried it.

 

When his lover made the remark about Devon already imagining the two of them both naked and sweaty in the sauna he gave him a suspicious look. “Can you read minds?” he asked with a laugh. “Well, I am trying not to think about that very thing too much for obvious reasons.” The blond man said but talking about it didn’t do much to distract his mind that really liked that thought. The laughing got louder and longer as he heard Kario say that he’d have no problem to sit there in the sauna and see how long Ashfield could behave himself. “Well, that’s not very difficult to begin with is it sweetie because you won’t have to wait long I can tell you that.” The governor jested. After he had said that he could feel the brown eyes of his young lover undressing him and he heard a hum from the man who was apparently thinking about the same thing the blond had been thinking about. A teasing smirked crossed Devon’s face when he looked into his boyfriends eyes. “I take it back. It’ll be difficult for you as you are just as horny for me as I am for you.” He corrected.

 

“I knew it.” He said laughing when the other admitted that he would pay attention to Devon just not to what he was saying about politics but to his body. It was quite inevitable that they’d end up fucking instead of learning that way. If his boyfriend would be constantly checking his body out and would stare at his bulge instead of listening to what he was saying. So the reward idea was rather good. That way the other would be rewarded to remember the politics and they’d be able to do dirty stuff at the same time.

“You bet it is.” The politician said, winking at the other when the younger one said that the reward system was sounding interesting.

 

The reaction he received for nudging his nose against the other’s neck before placing several kisses there was intense and the moan incredibly heated from just that little touch and it made it even clearer to him that it had been the right decision to apologise and stop doing that. He could hear the sigh coming from the young man before the black haired told him that he was a tease and that he’d have to make up for this to the other later. A wide smile was showing on the pale face of the governor and his golden eyes shone. “I’d like nothing better than to do just that.” The blond said kissing the young man’s lips, not too intense though to not enthral him again.

 

A sigh came from the governor when he heard that unconvincing ‘No’ from the young man and saw him gazing into another direction at the same time. A mild smile was appearing on his face when he stepped forward, taking his lover’s face between his hands turning it towards himself. “Liar.” He whispered in a playful tone kissing him. “You don’t have to deny that it made you jealous. Denying it won’t help us dealing with it.” The man said in an encouraging tone of voice. “I unfortunately and obviously can’t undo that I have been married to her once although I would if I could. So I can’t change that. I however can assure you that there is nothing to be jealous about when it comes to that marriage.” He told him. “She never had anything of me. All she had was a contract, a piece of paper that I used tactically. You on the other hand do have me. All of me! My mind, my heart and my body.” The blond told the young man, stroking through the nice black hair of the man, placing a kiss onto his forehead, then taking his hands, caressing them with his thumbs.

When he had asked the other whether marrying had been something that Kario had always wanted to do he saw how the other was instantly blushing and getting incredibly embarrassed. Devon couldn’t help but to chuckle hearing him say that most people wanted this as it seemed a little defensive even though Ashfield had not meant to embarrass him with this question. He couldn’t help but to tease his cute lover a little saying:”I know people who don’t want to get married or never cared either way. Maybe they are indeed in the minority though.” Then the other confessed that he had wanted to get married and still would like to and it made the problem get clearer to the governor. Mei had done what Kario wanted to do and that was enough to make the other man jealous no matter that Ashfield’s marriage with her had been fake and disastrous.

 

“Gosh, you’re so adorable.” He stated then looking into the young man’s red face before he got back to the topic they were discussing again. “I understand that she got to do something that you apparently rather badly wish for yourself and your future. But a) when she married me she didn’t get a real marriage out of love, I actually wronged her and lied to her knowing I couldn’t keep any of the promises made and b) there is nothing standing in the way of you marrying. Especially not her! And if you married it would be a truthful one, a real one out of love not tactic and calculation.” Devon made that clear to the other and kissed him deeply and lovingly, putting a lot of emotion into the kiss to prove what he had just told the black haired man whom he loved.

 

Ashfield felt as if a rock was falling from his shoulders that he had not even known had been there since he had asked the other whether he had imagined himself with someone who hadn’t been married before, with whom he had to option to go this route together the very first time. Who had not made a promise and broken the promise for whatever reason. The governor was relieved that this was not something that seemed to bug the other. “I am glad to hear that as I couldn’t ever offer you this.” Devon admitted sounding a little sad about it himself as he had thrown that away for a faux-marriage and someone he had never had more than platonic friendly feelings for.

 

Being told that the other wasn’t sure what exactly was bothering him and making him jealous about the fact that Ashfield had been married before and that he had known this from the start and that it had surprisingly become a problem for the other when he had stood face to face with Mei made the blond smile warmly. “You have seen that someone who had been in my life and in my house constantly was stepping back in for a moment and then you felt threatened that they’d force themselves back a way into it maybe?” he asked. “I have absolutely no intention of reintegrating Mei back into my life. It’s not pleasant to see her for me either nor is it for her to see me, it’s probably even much worse for her than for me actually. I can’t promise you that you won’t ever see her but if you do it’ll probably be on some banquette or whatever in company with her husband where I usually end up fighting with her husband over something her getting annoyed about us and going to talk with someone else....” he informed him. “I can tell you she won’t be a part of my life ever again.” He let the other know.

 

It made him smile when Kario told him that he didn’t have to try to be anything more than he was as he was making him happy just as he was because even though it made his heart jump from joy to hear this Ashfield knew that he’d still try as the other was making him wanting to be a better person. It was odd because no one had ever made him feel this way. Had made him want to act more considerate and more kind. What Devon was aware about was the will to be the best at anything, that he wanted lovers to admire him but this was really different.

A sigh came from him when he heard the younger one say that at least now that he wasn’t in the brothel anymore he would not have to deal with anyone treating the other like dirt anymore. But he had. His father on top of the list! “I wouldn’t say that someone as present in my and if you are with me our life as my father is no one. Aside from that I’d still like to wrack Harvey Flints stupid face and it bugs me that I can’t.” He told the other. Since he knew how the man from the automobile industry had treated Kario his unfondness for the man had turned into hatred.

 

“Ja.” He agreed when the other said that it had not only been the best but also the easiest deal he had ever made because he didn’t have to fulfil any conditions himself. A wide and playful smile was to see on his face when the younger one said after they had kissed passionately that if that would be the reward for making a deal with Ashfield that they had to make some more. “That reward is exclusively for you though. I really don’t want to kiss any of the other people I usually make deals with.” He joked.

 

His eyes glistered and he immediately and without a warning grabbed the other and kissed him, a lot of fire and passion in that kiss, his tongue wrapping around the younger man’s tongue, performing a heated dance. The governor kissed the other man so eagerly and so deeply and intensely that he not only was out of breath afterwards but that a string of saliva was attaching them when he broke the kiss. Though he wouldn’t be able to show the other emotions he was ashamed for like loneliness, neediness and embarrassment openly and just like that it was making him feel as if the other was offering him a piece of heaven saying that he liked that about him, that he wanted him to express this and to help him to not feel embarrassed about many of his wants and feelings anymore and that he liked that he had the feelings his father had aggressively shamed him for and maybe, slowly but steadily some of the damage Andrew Ashfield had caused his son would be healed if he was embraced when he showed such things and offered support and not treated like a failure. “Thank you...” he said not able to look at the other as his cheeks were heating up again.

 

 

It got much more clear to him how desperate Kario was by how intense and feverish his moans and reactions to his doing were and Devon would be lying if he said that this desperation, that lustful, horny and pleasured expression wasn’t hot and wasn’t arousing him making his rod harder and making it throb heatedly. But also when he had put it in and was thrusting inside of the other, Kario’s desperation to cum was not any milder and the reactions just as heated. desperate and needy and it enthralled him and made him penetrate the other more eagerly and harder making the black haired cling onto the governor’s body closely and hardly, wrapping his arms around him holding onto him. The intense it was the quick the other reached his climax as well though and it only took a few well placed thrusts of the blond against his young lover’s prostate and Ashfield grabbing the man’s cock and he felt how the other tensed and his muscles constricted, felt how the heated erection in his hand was starting to twitch and while sharp sparks of pleasure were shooting through Devon’s body making him growl while the other moaned, drowning in the pleasure he was making him feel the younger man’s dick erupted like a volcano shooting a huge load of sperm over Devon’s hand, staining both of their stomachs with his cum too.

The man’s hole that had tightened extremely around Devon’s thick cock that was leaking pre-cum, making it more slippery and easier for him to slide in and out of the other’s hole was not letting go of the billionaires dick though, quite the contrary it seemed, as the muscle was choking it tighter and harder, not wanting to let it go, making it clear that he wanted to feel the pulsating rod of meat inside, making a low and pleasured moan escape Ashfield who felt his mind clouding completely. While he felt like his dick was devoured by the young man’s arsehole and he was continuously thrusting in as fast and hard as he could like that, hammering onto Kario’s prostate as mercilessly as the other’s muscle was milking his cock the blond got consumed by pleasure too and he growled and moaned much more regularly, his breath becoming heavy and husky as he was bathing in pleasure, frantically moving to increase it even more to lose himself in the passion, lust and intensity of their fucking.

 

“It seems.” He pressed out heated words when Kario told him how good his cock was feeling inside of him. “Then there is no other option for me as to give it to you more.” The man moaned, panting heavily as he was penetrating the other going to the fullest, trying to not escalate too much but the pleasure was overwhelming and taking him over, making him thrust into the other frantically, moving his hips like a beast in heat. “Fuck, you’re so tight. It’s amazing.” He called out lustily, his voice a husky, shaky mess at this point as he was feeling himself getting closer to the edge with every thrust and hit he made.

 

Kario was still clinging onto him that hard and his arse was choking his cock as if it never wanted to be without it inside again and Devon kissed the other lewdly, drooling whilst doing so, moaning and groaning into the kiss that he couldn’t keep up for long. His mind was mush, there was only the pleasure that was overtaking his body and he was craving to climax, to ejaculate and fill the other’s sexy rosy hole with his cum. And as he was thrusting into the man who was holding onto him as if he was a lifebelt he felt how he got tense and his muscles constricted, his cock twitching and pulsating inside of the other. That was when he heard the younger one say that he was the best guy ever and his heart jumped and flickered, feeling butterflies inside of his stomach whilst at the same time he was getting closer and closer to the edge, his thrusts losing their regularity. But even though the other could have said it due to the pleasure and the hormones making him feel great the governor was touched hearing that as he had wanted to be this for the other since the first day in the brothel. The best man out of all the men on the frigging planet and when he opened his mouth to say something a deep pleasured growl was coming out instead and he bucked up into the other and was having his orgasm, shooting his load into the young man’s hole.

 

“You are the best.” He then said under heavy pants, his heart racing as if it was about to fall out of his chest. “That was intense.” The governor added, his body a sweaty mess now, his dick still in the cum filled hole, Kario’s cum running down his stomach and his hand.

[Sathenus]

"One of the best reasons to travel is to immerse yourself in the culture. You're not really experiencing the country if you don't." He replied with a small shrug and light smile. That had always been his thought on it, what was the point of visiting another country if you weren't going to take the chance to enjoy and experience its culture? It made no sense to him, but he figured those who were traveling for business didn't have time for such things, and those traveling on vacation probably went to places like Paris and Tokyo, places that were greatly influenced by tourism and could sometimes lose sight of anything else. "I'll have to keep being a good influence in that regards. We could definitely have a lot of fun traveling and exploring the world together whenever you have time." That and exploring more cultures was something that greatly interested him, seeing the world and traveling was a great way to immerse himself in other cultures. There really was no better way to learn about it, than to experience it firsthand. Hearing that Devon had never been to Normandy either made it sound even better for them to visit it, a place that they could explore and discover together. He was sure his face had lit up and a sparkle had returned in his dark gaze as he watched his lover. "Sounds perfect!" He replied his smile growing.

 

Hearing Devon tell him that he had already found the idea of him as an archaeologist appealing made his smile turn to a small smirk. "Someone seems to have high hopes for me." He mused considering that, it was an appealing thought as well. It'd probably take him a bit of consideration to figure out which path would truly be the best for him. He was drawn from his thoughts when Devon told him that maybe there were such majors offered at the university that Diego goes to. It was possible he figured, though he found it cute that Devon was willing to ask for him. The more the man spoke the more cute he found his boyfriend, Devon clearly wanted to keep him close, hence why he had suggested the local university and even the possibility of another subject if he liked a different one better. "That's really sweet of you." He commented after, and to him it really was. Having someone who wanted the best for him and was willing to pay his way through university was special, as it was something no one had done for him before. Since his parents certainly would not be able to afford for him to do such things, his only chance for university was to pay for it himself or to get a scholarship. He had not been a good enough student for the latter and paying it himself had been impossible. Kario knew that if Devon actually did do this for him, he'd do everything in his power to make sure his lover knew it was appreciated. Including being the best student he could possibly be and not messing up this chance. Still, he wasn't really sure what he wanted to do with his life yet. Knowing that such options were available to him was great, and did make him feel like his future was much brighter. It also meant he was going to have to think carefully about the path he chose. Wanting to make sure that it was really the career path he wanted.

 

"Incredibly so." Kario replied not missing the way his lover's grin became suggestive at his comment. It was true though, he could definitely see himself swooning over his lover when he was cooking and having a hard time behaving while the blonde was busy. "How could I not?" He mused though he couldn't help the way his own smile turned to a dirty smirk at the mention of Devon having to disappoint him a little because he didn't have an apron he could wear while doing so. "We could always change that." Just because Devon currently didn't have one, didn't mean they couldn't change that. Once more Devon found his eyes raking over his lover's body, imagining him trying to cook. Even without an apron it'd be sexy as hell, but he couldn't help how dirty his mind got at the thought of an apron as well. Maybe even... just an apron. It took Kario a moment to get his mind back on the present and out of where it had landed. Eyes still locked with his lover's, leaning up he pressed their lips together in a quick but loving kiss.

 

"You could say that, though it could just be that I know you so well and how appealing the two of us sitting there naked and sweaty in the sauna together is to you." Kario replied teasingly. "It's extremely hard not to think about something so appealing." There was no denying that the thought was appealing, and he could understand why Devon was trying not to think about it currently. At the same time, how could you not think about something as appealing as that? It seemed impossible to him, and he was sure them talking about it wasn't helping the governor get his mind off it. When his boyfriend said that it wouldn't be very difficult for him to just sit there and see how long the blonde could behave himself because he wouldn't have to wait for long, he didn't think that his boyfriend understood just how hard that would actually be. A moment later the older man was correcting himself and this made Kario laugh as their eyes locked on one another once more. "Extremely. But I think the challenge will be worth it." It seemed like it would be hard for either of them to behave in such a situation, Kario would just be determined to behave longer than his lover could. In that type of situation, that would be a win in itself.

 

"What can I say? You have a very distracting body." Kario replied with a small laugh. He wasn't surprised that Devon knew he'd be paying attention to his body and not what he was saying about politics. It would be quite hard for him to pay attention, but using a rewards system to encourage him to pay attention would probably work. Or for so long at least, eventually he'd still get overly distract and not be able to pay much attention, but it wasn't like he expected Devon to teach him everything in one day anyway. It'd be a process. Hopefully, if he was lucky, a very interesting process. The wink he received in response to telling Devon that the reward system was sounding interesting made a large grin cross his face. "Then that would be the path for us to take."

 

The hands that took up his face forced him to meet his lover's gaze, hearing the older man speak in a whisper, tone playful before their lips were caught in a kiss. The kiss made him feel a little better, but his jealousy was still very much present, it was eased knowing that Mei wasn't here. But it didn't help him in the end knowing that she had what he truly wanted. Marriage was something he had wanted for a long time, and something he had felt he would never have after the brothel. It seemed natural that he'd end up feeling jealous about Mei once having what he rather desperately wanted. It didn't even matter that she hadn't had any part of him, not his heart, mind or body. When Devon assured him that he did have those parts of him, that he had all of him. His heart seemed to skip a beat and his stomach fluttered as their eyes remained locked on each other. It was reassuring, and the gentle touch of the blonde's hand running through his hair as his forehead was kissed only seemed to ease him even more. It didn't get rid of the feeling he had about Mei and the marriage that no longer was, but it at least made him feel a lot better about it.

 

Being told he was adorable only made him blush more, though he was aware that Devon thought he was cute when he was embarrassed. Just like he found the governor appealing when he was blushing as well. Hearing what his boyfriend had to say about the marriage he had with Mei and how it hadn't been a real marriage out of love didn't make him feel any better about it. His embarrassment and his feelings about Mei and the marriage she had were still present. He was caught off guard when he heard Devon tell him that there wasn't anything standing in his way of him marrying. Dark eyes darting to his lover's gaze, for the second time in such a short period his heart skipped a beat. But there was something else that he had caught onto, something he wasn't sure if Devon had meant that way or not. It seemed that the prospect of marriage was aimed more towards him, and not them as a pair. Though Kario wasn't sure if that was intentional or not, he couldn't help but get stuck on that part. His mind seemed to be wiped completely clean when their lips were pressed together in a deep and loving kiss. That kiss seemed to ease any feelings he still had about the whole thing, leaning into it more and rather happily and eagerly returning it. When the kiss did finally break, his breath was rather shaky, but he definitely felt better. "Thank you." He said softly, giving Devon a small smile. He did feel better, a lot better. His mind seemed to be completely cleared and he didn't feel like he had to worry about Mei or be jealous of the marriage she once had anymore. Devon was his after all, he had the man now whether or not marriage was involved.

 

"At least you learned from it though. That's what really matters." Flashing his boyfriend a small smile. He had never cared whether or not the person he ended up marrying had married before, that didn't matter to him at all. All that mattered to him, was that the person he married actually wanted to be with him like that. "I do of course hope that when I do get married, it will be my only one." He added after a small moment of pause, his eyes remaining locked with Devon's. Kario dreamed of one marriage, he didn't want to get married to more than one person, but he didn't care if the person he ended up marrying had been married before him. He just hoped that their marriage would be their last one. So it definitely wasn't something he'd jump right into. Though he'd be lying to say that there wasn't already a seed of hope that Devon would and could be that person.

 

"Maybe... though being pregnant and remarried I don't believe she'd try to force her way back into your life or home." Kario admitted with a small shrug. He still couldn't figure out why it had been seeing Mei face to face that had set his jealousy in motion. Knowing that she did not stand a chance getting back into Devon's life and seeing that she quite clearly didn't want to either. She had her new husband and a child on the way, which was probably everything she had wanted from the beginning. "But... I'll be a bigger part?" Kario asked giving his lover a curious look. He could accept that Mei would still be a part of his life, even if only at banquettes or other events. It did mean that he needed the reassurance that he'd play the bigger part in Devon's life, even if he was already sure that was the case. Hearing it, versus just knowing it meant more to him.

 

Shrugging as he was told that Devon's father who would be present in both their lives since he was with the governor wasn't exactly no one. That may be the case, but Kario never really included his boyfriend's father in most things. Knowing the man was someone he'd have to deal with regardless, and that the way the other treated him would also be something he'd end up putting up with. What the man said about Harvey Flint made him give his lover a small smile, reaching out he cupped the older man's cheek before leaning up to kiss him quickly. "Speaking of him... I just realized being with you may increase my chances of running into old clients. You know... the whole card thing." He murmured as his dark eyes stayed locked on his lover. He didn't bring that up to upset Devon, or to anger the man in any way. But it was actually very possible, especially if he ended up going to banquettes or events with Devon. He felt like this was something he had to warn the man of. "Harvey wasn't the nicest person to me, but he wasn't the only one to treat me in such a manner." There was actually quite a bit of hesitation in admitting that. He was sure that Devon understood that Harvey Flint hadn't been the only man to treat him poorly as he worked for the brothel, but neither of them seemed to have taken in the fact that he may end up running into other old clients. As if running into Harvey Flint himself wouldn't be awkward enough for Kario who'd probably shy away and try to hide behind the governor if that did ever happen. Though he very much hoped it wouldn't.

 

"I can definitely live with that. I'd probably get extremely jealous of everyone if you went around giving them such a nice reward." He teased with a smile. The younger man was more than happy to have such a thing reserved for himself, and not to share it with anyone else. That and it would probably be quite odd if Devon went around kissing everyone after making a deal with them. Though such an idea did make him laugh softly, leaning up to give the other a quick kiss once more.

 

Surprised was an understatement when he was caught up in a deep and heated kiss, it seemed as if it really was the most heated kiss they had shared yet. When it finally broke they were both quite clearly out of breath, Kario struggling to calm his racing heart. It had been pounding almost painfully in his chest the moment his lips had been caught in such a kiss. Slightly dazed eyes locked with his lover's golden gaze as the older man spoke. He wasn't expecting to be thanked, it truly wasn't even necessary, but he was glad he was able to offer such a thing for the man he loved. "I'll always be here for you." Kario managed to breath out in response. The way his lover's cheeks began to heat up once more and the fact that he wasn't able to look at him again made him smile. Leaning up he kissed Devon's cheek before he pressed his lips once more to the other's neck. "It really is an attractive look on you, handsome. But I promise to try not to drag it out all the time."

 

 

 

It wasn't remotely surprising to Kario how quickly he had been brought to his climax, or how large the load of cum was that ended up covering them both. His body had been aching repeatedly for something he had been denied all day and most of the night. Now that it finally got what it was so desperately craving, it was no surprise that he had little control of himself. After his climax his hole had tightened around his lover's hard cock so tightly that it made him whimper softly as Devon continued moving inside of him. Of course he didn't want it to stop, but he was feeling just how thick his lover's cock was in a whole new light, each thrust sent sparks through his body lighting his nerves on fire. Despite how hard his muscle seemed to be clenching around Devon's cock, the man's hard length still seemed to be able to rather easily move within him. Normally Kario was a pro at controlling his muscle and keeping it tight for his clients, he had absolutely no control over how tightly it was clinging to his lover's hard cock though. His whole body seemed to have little control over anything, deep pleasured sounds escaping him with as Devon continued to thrust into him.

 

It didn't matter that he was still overly sensitive, it felt amazing and he really didn't want it to end. Even as his lover was rather mercilessly pounding into him making him whine and moan, continuing to cling to his lover like a life line. The more the governor's thrust increased the more Kario seemed to love it and drown beneath the large amounts of pleasure. This was exactly what he had needed, exactly what he had been craving most of the day. Having gone so long without sex even if it wasn't a full twenty-four hours his body had definitely seemed to change. He hadn't been unaware of the fact that while Devon was preparing him for this that his hole had already been tighter than before, even tighter than the days that Devon had been his first client for the day. If he had such intense sex to look forward to just for holding out, then he'd be lying to say he wasn't excited to do so.

 

The blonde's words made him moan in appreciation, hearing the other say he there was no other option than to give him more. Devon's moan and panting breaths only seemed to arouse him more, and the more Devon took him the louder he seemed to get. Loosing even more control over his body, virtually having none whatsoever. All he could seem to do was cling to his lover, his back arching whenever a thrust struck his prostate in a manner that made his vision blur. He really wasn't sure how long he was going to be able to take it before he felt like he as broken completely. It was a pleasing feeling when he was able to sense Devon's impending climax, the thought of his lover filling him alone was enough to make him almost cum again. His body was certainly enjoying how Devon was taking him, the fact that Devon shakily called out how tight he was and how it felt amazing only made him groan in appreciation himself.

 

How tight he was was making everything feel even more intense than normal, and the fact that attention had been brought to how tight he was only made matters worse. Their lips met in a rather messy and lewd kiss, something he wasn't expecting but appreciated. His mind being given something to focus on instead of drowning in the constant flood of pleasure. Kario hadn't expected it when Devon's thrusts became irregular, making him whine as he withered beneath him. It wasn't long before his boyfriend reached his own climax, filling him with his hot seed which only seemed to make his heated body feel even hotter. His breaths were quite labored and he let out a pleased groan as he was given the chance to relax back against the bed. Both of them were rather sweaty now, and were clearly a mess as well. It was definitely worth waking the governor up, and he suddenly couldn't even remember why he had been hesitant to do so.

 

"Very intense." Kario replied breathlessly, struggling to get his heart to calm down and his breathing back to normal. For a moment his eyes drifted shut, when they opened again he looked up at his lover noticing just how messy they were, and mainly due to his own load that was covering them both. This of course made him give his lover a small sheepish smile. "Sorry about that... but you definitely know how to tease me and make me cum hard." He murmured. The preparation alone had been a tease even if he had enjoyed every second of it, having Devon thrusting into his prostate and into him in general was enough to make him cum a big load. The teasing and his body's desperation was what had made it a huge one. "I was going to say sorry for waking you up... but I can't say I am sorry now. It had been completely worth it."

 

Shifting just the slightest he felt his lover shift inside him making him groan, for a moment Kario had forgotten that Devon was still buried inside of him. It felt as though the older man's cock was at home within him, as if it truly belonged there making him enjoy the fact that they were still connected in this manner even more. Once their breaths had steadied enough he leaned up to kiss his lover once more. "I stand by what I said, drowning in pleasure like I was. You really are the best guy ever, I couldn't imagine being with anyone else." He murmured on his lover's lips. He wanted Devon to know that he had been sincere in saying so, they really were meant for each other. Or that was how Kario himself saw it anyway, and he didn't want it any other way.

[-Hideki-]

„I won’t argue against that.“ Ashfield said with a smile when Kario said that immersing in the unknown cultures and getting to experience them was the best reason to travel to begin with and it was probably true especially from an intellectual perspective. “However I get the notion that you are much more mature and sophisticated than I have been at your age again. When I was in university what I wanted was having fun, partying and seeing impressive locations and getting into contact with handsome men from those places. One could argue that I did end up learning about a part of the culture…. Bedroom culture that is….” The governor said scratching the back of his head. The blond had slept with different men all across Europe back then whom he had met clubbing with friends from his university and the group had always involved Sven who had done some really reckless and hilarious shit during his youth. “After I graduated I usually just went for business or seeing friends overseas.” The man shrugged. “I didn’t even think about going there to learn about those people’s ways of life and culture in particular although I caught on some of it, especially through my friends. The only places I went for culture and history in particular were Rome and Greece though.” The blond told the other man. “So since you have never left our wonderful state and I was a party tourist when I was younger there is a lot for us to explore together and I am looking forward to make time for this somehow.” The politician stated glad that Kario saw it the same way he did and felt happy about that prospect.

 

It didn’t escape him how his boyfriend’s face lit up and how enthusiastic he seemed about going to the Normandy with him. “I’ll promise you that the first time we’ll be in Europe together we’ll go there too, no matter where the initial trip was to because that’s not always set in stone due to my work etc.” the man let his lover know and kissed the young man’s smiling lips. “You are gorgeous when your eyes shine and you smile like this, did I ever tell you that before?” he commented smiling back at the black haired.

 

“Well, I am just seeing your potential.” He let the other know when his boyfriend remarked that Ashfield seemed to have high hopes for him. Plus, Devon Ashfield had never been one to have humble ideas as he had been taught to reach right for the crown what made him think of high goals and made him really ambitious. “Whatever career you pursue though won’t have any effect on our relationship. I’ll always be into you and love you.” The blond made that clear as he didn’t want to create any pressure, that was absolutely not what he intended to do, he wanted to motivate and encourage the other showing him his possibilities. “Although I absolutely wouldn’t mind if you ended up in a work field where you wore something hot while at work!” Devon joked, a smirk on his face, winking at his lover.

 

The smirk on his face got even dirtier and wider when Kario returned that expression saying that they could always do something about the lack of an apron in the governor’s property. Ashfield leaned over to him rather closely so that the other certainly felt his breath on his ear. “You sure would like that wouldn’t you. Getting a full view of my arse and my cock only being covered by some loose and thin piece of fabric.” He teased the other breathing it into the man’s ear in a seductive tone before he licked on his ear. Ashfield felt his boyfriend’s eyes on his body taking it in, raking over it. “If you were to look at my body that greedily if I cooked I wouldn’t be able to focus on that at all.” Ashfield admitted with a chuckle. “You’d just arouse me with your lustful gaze.” The governor stated, their eyes locking before his lover kissed him and even though the kiss was quick Devon reached out his hand laying it onto the other’s cheek, caressing the black haired, deepening the kiss.

 

 

 

No matter how often he got the privilege to make his young lover blush and to see his cute face all reddened he’d never stop finding him adorable that way. Unlike himself Kario was cute after all. After they had shared that emotional, heated kiss he was thanked by his lover and the governor had not expected him to thank him for that but that he did made Devon think that he had succeeded in making him feel better about it and to wipe away his concerns and the jealousy that was definitely not needed what made the blond man incredibly happy and he smiled warm and widely at the younger man, pressing a kiss towards his cheek and then his neck instead of using any words.

 

The governor smiled mildly and sighed when the young man said that he at least had learned from the mistake he had made marrying Mei. “I did.” He confirmed that. His smile got happier and light hearted when his young boyfriend told him that if he did get married he’d want it to be the only one. “When I get married again I too would like that to last as well. I want to settle down but I have already told you that before.” The governor told him still smiling at the black haired man somehow hoping that he would be the one the other wanted to marry one day and that Kario’s feelings about the two of them wouldn’t change somehow. That although he was who and what Kario was seeing himself with for a life time at the moment he wouldn’t anymore once he got back on track and he might found someone who was his age, more relatable for him and had more in common with him in university or at the career he would pursue. That if he would get aware of all the other options there were in this regards as well, that a middle-aged man who was a politician whose views had actually made him cry and who had been one of his clients didn’t seem appealing to him anymore at all. So he was hesitant to think that his handsome boyfriend would actually want to get married to him somehow in the future, married to a man almost twice his age and maybe that was the reason he had formulated it that vaguely unconsciously and without purpose focussing more on Kario than himself . “If you didn’t care nor thought about if the man you’d marry would have been married before, how about age then? Did you imagine yourself more with someone your age or …” he paused and on his mind he was thinking ‘someone who could be your father.’ But he finished the actual sentence with :”…significantly older.” Then he coughed and his cheeks reddened as he looked up to the ceiling because somehow he would have sworn when he had decided to ask this it had seemed more subtle and less obvious.

 

It calmed his anger about Harvey Flint down a little when Kario was taking his face between his hands and was kissing him. When his young lover spoke however his eyes moved to the side and down as he was pouting not liking the idea of running into his boyfriend’s old clients, not just Harvey, one bit, having to be confronted with the fact that all this men had their way with the man he was in love with, what he was successfully ignoring and not thinking about for the most part. But having to see those guys would make ignoring that aspect of his boyfriend’s past impossible. Especially hearing that Harvey wasn’t the only one of those men to treat the other like shit, what he had already imagined, made him go tense and angry again and his golden eyes were peering down to the ground and it was a wonder that they didn’t burn holes into it. “I’d rather not meet them as I certainly would like to punch them too.” The governor mumbled and the idea of a boxing match against Harvey and the likes of him was getting all too appealing to him.

 

“I’d appreciate that.” he remarked after he had thanked the other and blushed again and the young man had pressed his lips onto his neck before telling him that he really did find it attractive when he blushed but that he promised to not try to drag that out of the governor too much. Devon let his head sink onto the younger one’s shoulder, letting it rest there for a moment before he kissed and nibbled on the other’s jaw.

 

 

 

Ashfield was still panting sweat was pearling from his forehead as he was still bend over the young man, pressing kisses onto his face and neck here and there, while he was waiting for his heart beat and his breath to calm down again but it seemed to take a while. He raised an eyebrow and looked rather confused when Kario apologised about how much he had cum and what a mess his sperm had made. “Don’t apologise.” The governor instantly said, his voice still husky and unsteady. “That was incredibly hot.” he admitted and closed his eyes for a moment, still out of breath. “Lewd, yes, but seeing and feeling you shoot such a fountain of cum in ecstasy was quite something! It made me hotter and more excited though I hadn’t thought it had even been possible at that point anymore.” The politician said since if anything he wanted to see the other ejaculate for him in such a way again, to make him drown in pleasure like that another time. He had absolutely no complaints and he didn’t care about partially being covered in his lover’s seeds.

 

It made him laugh when Kario admitted that he didn’t feel sorry for waking him up after that because he found it had been completely worth it. “I am not sorry that you interrupted my sleep either.” The blond let the other know smirking widely and dirtily. “This was amazing.” He commented, looking really satisfied and pleased. “I can’t even imagine the last time when I have been woken up by kisses and by a handsome guy initiating sex with me like this. And it never happened at such an hour before at all, so that was a premiere and I would absolutely have no objection being woken up in such a manner again, although rather in the morning than in the middle of the night if I could choose.” The governor laughed and kissed the other again.

 

He was just pulling out his cock and rolling over to the side, landing on the mattress with a groan when his lover told him that he stood by what he had said about Ashfield being the best guy ever. It made a stupidly happy and wide grin appear on his face and he turned his head to look at him. “Remember that when you are surrounded by all those young guys with their energy and hot bodies. Always think of how I am the best and how amazing I made you feel now.” he jested, his grin getting even wider. “Because I don’t want anyone but you either, you are the best for me and I want you to want only me and to not even look at other men how you look at me now.” the blond made that very clear, pulling the young man over, kissing him demandingly and dominatingly, pulling his body closer to himself getting more of their body stained with the cum their bodies were covered in.

 

After he had let himself sink back next to the other again he was relaxing for a moment and felt how his eyes wanted to fall shut again as he had still some sleep to catch. “Do you think that you’ll be able to sleep as well now? Do you feel satisfied?” he wanted to know as he looked into the black haired man’s face, knowing that they had to clean their bodies before but he felt too heavy and too satisfied and at ease where he was lying that he wouldn’t leave the bed that easily.

[Sathenus]

Laughing softly when Devon told him that one could argue that he did end up learning about a part of their culture, just to clarify that it was bedroom culture. Kario couldn't help but find that amusing, especially since he was easily able to imagine a younger Devon enjoying such culture. "Why does that not really surprise me, love?" He asked in a bit of a teasing voice. But it was true, the younger man wasn't remotely surprised to hear his boyfriend had such relationships, or one night stands while abroad in other countries and thus experienced that side of their 'culture'. Hearing that the blonde had actually gone to Rome and Greece to experience it's culture wasn't surprising either, considering the way the mansion was built and their previous discussions he would have been more surprised if he hadn't traveled there to learn more about it's culture. "I'm definitely excited to be able to travel with you and for us to experience a lot of this together for the first time. It will make it all the more special!" Kario happily replied, truly looking forward to such adventures. He didn't even care if many of their adventures abroad would be because of Devon's travels for work. It would still be fun, and he was sure he would be able to learn about such places regardless of their original intention for going there.

 

His excitement grew to overflowing levels when his boyfriend promised that the first time they visit Europe together they'd go to Normandy too, despite the where the initial trip was. Unable to control just how excited that promise made him and after a rather enthusiastic 'yay!' he lunged forward and captured the older man's lips in a deep and passionate kiss. The prefect way in his opinion to express his gratitude at such a lovely promise. Even the thought of finally getting to visit the place he had only dreamed about made him super happy. When the kiss broke he felt his face flush being told that he was gorgeous when his eyes shined and he smiled like that. "Yes." He answered with a small embarrassed smile. Devon had expressed to him already how he found such a look on him, but it didn't make him any less embarrassed when attention was brought to it.

 

"Do you really think I have such high potential?" It was an honest question, Kario wasn't used to anyone seeing high potential in him. It was new to him, but not completely unpleasant either as it did make him feel happy and excited for his future and whatever career path he chose to take. The reassurance that no matter what career he pursued that Devon would be there and it wouldn't effect their relationship. That made a weight he didn't even know he was carrying fall from him. A sigh of relief escaping as he snuggled against the older man, "That makes me really happy to know." An amused look crossed his face at his lover's joke about him not minding if he ended up in a work field where he wore something hot while working. "And what exactly would you consider hot for me to work in?" He asked in a teasing tone, though he was slightly serious. Kario wouldn't lie and say anything that made Devon think he was hot wouldn't be seriously considered even if originally mentioned to him as a joke.

 

A shiver raked down his spine making him shudder pleasantly when Devon spoke into his ear, clearly the politician had intended to get such a reaction from him as he teased him. His words, tone and the lick to his ear all adding to the spark of pleasure through him and leading to the deep moan that escaped him. The It didn't help that it painted a rather vivid look in his mind of Devon cooking, wearing only the apron and leaving a rather pleasant sight for him. There were plenty of people who probably dreamed of their lover's in similar situations, and he'd be lying to say he wasn't one of them. "Yes, I would absolutely love to see you like that." He admitted, his words were heated and he was sure the look in his eyes stated how much he would love that as well. There wasn't any denying that Devon was right saying that he would be giving his body the same greedy and lusty look he was currently giving the man's clothed form and in doing so distract the man from cooking. "If I means I get such a hot sight, I'd do my best to control my lusty gaze... though I can't say I'd be able to stop from touching." Which of course would also distract Devon. But he could only control himself so much, either he lusted after the man from afar with a greedy and heated gaze, or he enjoyed it by his side while his hands touched and explored what was so beautifully bared to him. This whole thing made him realize just how hot he was for his lover's body and such situations. It wasn't like Devon wouldn't react similar if such situations were ever reversed.

 

 

Nodding, he was glad to hear that the governor truly had learned from his marriage to Mei. That was after all important, if he hadn't learned from it he would be more likely to repeat the same mistake later. Kario grew even more hopeful that if he did end up marrying Devon that it would be a lasting relationship and marriage. It was pleasing to hear, and it made him want to be with Devon even more than he had before. His hopes that they would spend the rest of their lives together growing stronger, making him more desperate for that to become true. The governor really was the man he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, there was no doubt in his mind about that. It seemed as though the more they talked about this topic, the more he was sold on Devon being the one and only man he ever married. For some reason he wasn't expecting the next question about what he had thought of the man he would marry. An understanding look crossed his face and he gave his lover an encouraging smile, "I never gave their age any thought either, handsome. Age wasn't and still isn't important to me. What is important is the connection I have with them, how they make me feel and the way they treat me." He responded giving his boyfriend a loving kiss. Devon's age didn't bother him, and it didn't play a part in whether or not he would want to marry the man. When he broke the kiss, his hands were cupping the man's face keeping their gazes locked. "I truly love you, Devon. There isn't anyone else in this world that I'd rather marry than you. You make me feel like no one else has, and from the very start treated me like a real person. Don't doubt yourself. You're everything I could have ever wanted and more." He whispered over his lover's lips. He wanted Devon to know this, to be certain in this fact. Kario wanted him, he wanted the governor and everything that came with being with him. For as long as Devon would let him.

 

 

 

Each time the blonde's lips pressed against his skin a shaky moan was his response, eyes drifting shut as he allowed himself to enjoy the kisses pressed against his face and neck. Despite their rather labored breathing and racing hearts, he couldn't stop himself from enjoying and wanting more of Devon again. At the same time his body was clearly telling him that he was tired and sated, that even though he would have loved to have more fun he just wouldn't be up for it. Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing considering the rather ungodly hour he had woken his lover up at even for that hot and intense round of sex. "You really can't help yourself can you? Constantly making me blush." Kario murmured as he was blushing once more, embarrassed by the huge load he had released even if Devon himself found it incredibly hot. It didn't help that the older man did really seem to enjoy it and find such a release from him even more arousing. At the same time, Kario had to admit that he was glad that the man didn't make him feel bad for it either, knowing if such a thing had happened before he had met Devon and regained his freedom that other men may not have been so happy with it.

 

"I'll try to keep that in mind in the future. Wake you up in the morning for hot sex, let you sleep at such ungodly hours as this." Kario replied a bit teasingly. Though he really would try to keep that in mind and wait until morning to wake his lover up for sex. Returning the kiss he let out a pleasant hum, a pleased smile crossing his face as the kiss broke and he was looking up into the governor's eyes once more. "Maybe I can get you into the habit of waking you up in such a manner at least once a month... though once a week or so may be more like it." He mused. There was no denying that Kario would truly enjoy waking Devon in such a manner, especially if he was able to get such a response from the blonde every time.

 

A pleased moan was his response to his boyfriend slipping out of him, instantly he felt empty without the other's thick cock buried within him. Even if he could still feel some of the warmth from Devon's seed that was put deep inside of him. Another pleased hum escaped him as Devon laid down beside him with a groan making him laugh softly. Instantly moving to curl against the other's side. Pressing his body rather firmly against his lover and allowing his eyes to drift shut. "I would only see you and flashes of how amazing you make me feel whenever I look at such guys." His eyes had reopened as he spoke, a genuine smile on his face. Devon didn't have to worry about anything like that, there was no contest when it came to his lover and other men regardless of if those other men were his own age or not. "I do want only you. No one else stands a chance in comparison." He whispered as he was pulled against the man's body and right before his lips were caught in a demanding and dominate kiss. Moaning into it, he found himself once more clinging to the politician, his breath once more labored and heart pounding in his chest when it broke.

 

Again he felt himself relax against the blonde, eyes drifting shut and his body just enjoying their closeness. Easily able to ignore the fact that they were both a sticky and sweaty mess once more and should really get cleaned up. The ache and pain that had been plaguing him most of the day had vanished, he felt much better and was ready to just pass out and get some sleep just like that. Even if he knew that they really shouldn't do so. "Mhmm." Was his only response at first to being asked if he thought that he'd be able to sleep now and if he felt satisfied. After another minute or two he had managed to build up enough strength in his body to speak again, "I feel like I could fall asleep any second now." His voice was soft and truly exhausted as he said that, letting Devon know just how tired he was.

 

Unconsciously he had dozed off on his lover, his now messy body pressing into the older man's side and his breathing evened out. There was no telling what exactly woke him up, but he seemed to wake with a start suddenly as if he had just realized he had fallen asleep and needed to stay awake. With a groan he forced his eyes open and to tiredly meet the other's gaze. "Do we really have to clean up?" He asked in a manner that stated quite clearly he wasn't up for doing so. It didn't matter that he knew they should do so or they'd most likely regret it later, but he truly couldn't help it. No one had ever been able to satisfy his body in one go like Devon just had, especially after a break in all the sex. But somehow Devon had done just that, and made it so he had no strength left and struggled to keep his eyes open for so much as one more second.

[-Hideki-]

“I don’t know. Why doesn’t it surprise you?” he played clueless a fake innocent expression on his face when Kario looked at him amused and asked him why it didn’t surprise him that Devon had gotten to know different nations bedroom cultures by sleeping with hot guys from those places when he had been a university student.

A genuine smile formed on his face when he heard the black haired say that experiencing other cultures and travelling would be even more special because the two of them were together. “Yes!” the governor agreed his hand stroking the other’s cheek and then through the black hair. “We’ll create a lot of nice and fond memories together.” The blond promised his lover.

 

He hadn’t thought that the other could get even more excited and happy about the prospect of getting to visit the Normandy together with him but he did and it made Ashfield’s heart pound hard when he saw how much the other seemed to love that and how that made the other even more handsome and cuter and the governor would probably do everything for this man to just see his boyfriend’s face like this. With a ‘Yay’ he got jumped by the other and his lips caught in a kiss and Devon’s arms wrapped around the young man, catching him, indulging himself in the kiss, enjoying it. When it broke and he had told the black haired just how gorgeous he thought he was with his shining eyes and his beaming happy face and how much he loved to see that expression Kario’s cheeks flushed red and the other reminded him that he had already told him that with an embarrassed smile. That reaction made the blond’s smile grow even more as he was looking at him. “Then I told you again now. And I won’t ever stop telling you as I wish I could see this expression on your face more from now on.” The politician let the other know, pulling him into another kiss, his tongue rolling around in the other’s mouth wildly and claiming.

 

Nodding he smiled at the black haired man figuring that apparently he had not been told that he held potential before in his life. “Yes, I do think that you have high potential especially for those fields mentioned for the reasons mentioned.” Ashfield confirmed. “You are a great man and I am certain that you will discover even more talents and interests in an environment where they can flourish.” He encouraged him further and then a playful grin appeared on his face. “Although I have to admit that I couldn’t really imagine you as a businessman.” The politician stated with a wink.

He heard the other sigh as he snuggled into him telling him that it made him happy that to Devon it didn’t matter what kind of career he was going after and that this would never change anything and he smiled at the other warmly, kissing his forehead.

When Kario teased him though wanting to know what exactly Ashfield would find hot for him to work in he realised that he had scored an own goal with that one and his cheeks got a little rosy. “I know it’s cliché as fuck but I kinda have a thing for men in uniform…” the governor confessed and he immediately thought of the mockery from political opponents if they ever learned about that. They’d sure as hell love to learn this and he didn’t want to think of what kind of caricatures they would draw of him then. It was bad enough that he had always felt like a perv when he, the frigging governor, had leered at attractive policemen, guys from the National Guard or the border patrol although never the higher-ups like Mahler, he had not dared to stare at them to not make them suspect that he might be gay. And as he was sitting next to the other he expected him to start laughing about him due to what he had just admitted.

 

His smirk became serious competition for the Cheshire cat and his eyes flashed up when he saw how much his whispered words, followed by the teasing lick over the young male’s ear was setting the other on fire, making his boyfriend appear even hotter to him, the deep moan the black haired let out clearly turning Devon on.

That aroused look in Kario’s eyes and the feverish tone of his voice when he confirmed that he would absolutely love to see Ashfield wearing only an apron to cover his nakedness was quite something and although he had figured that the other would respond with arousal he had not figured that it would be as intense and he realised that the other must really love that fantasy. And that his lover was so into the apron thing made him feel less embarrassed about finding men in uniform sexy and liking the thought of his boyfriend wearing one as that was not any less cliché.

 

When the black haired told him that if it meant that he would get to see such a hot sight that he’d control his lustful gazes but that he couldn’t say that he’d be able to not touch him it made a spark shoot down into his crotch at the idea of the young man not being able to control himself around him. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t think that was highly appealing and that his boyfriend getting hot enough for him to the point where he was unable to keep his hands off of him was not an absolute turn on. Screw cooking, he’d forget about it in a heartbeat and make an even greater mess if the other was to fondle and pleasure him while he was trying something that he had never done before and sure would suck at. His golden eyes were taking in the sight of his lover and there surely were flames to see in his gaze. “I really like the idea of you being unable to control yourself and to keep your hands off of my body.” He let him know, leaning over kissing the other man greedily.

 

Ashfield was given an understanding look and an encouraging smile after he had asked that rather obvious question but that look was not enough to ease his doubt that the young man would still want to marry him in the future and once he got aware of how many options he really had. It did help a little when his lover told him that he had never thought about the age the man he would marry should have either and that what was important to him was having a connection and how he was treated.

Devon knew that they had a connection, a connection that weirdly enough had been built really fast and really strongly between the two of them and he also treated his lover well after all the young man made him show his best sides so he was certain that in that regards he did have the upper hand over anyone else. The governor also liked to think that a younger man couldn’t offer the other what he could when it came to this. When he was kissed that lovingly his heart was swelling and he engaged in the kiss, wanting it to wipe away the doubt and the concern that came from the fear of losing the other to someone else, that it wouldn’t be him he wanted to marry in the end what was a painful thought that brought a stinging ache with it. He had seen someone he had loved marrying and promising himself to another man in the end, another man being the one to spend the life with this man and it had been so painful and crippling that he had not been able to take it with dignity and had not only ruined the celebration but had also been depressed afterwards. And it had not even mattered that he had been the one to end it with Jeff back then. And Devon didn’t want that to happen another time. He didn’t want to see another man being the one making Kario happy and being the one he’d choose as his lifelong partner. If he’d ever be tossed aside he hoped the other would at least have the mercy to not invite him to the celebration so that he wouldn’t have to see it.

 

After the kiss Kario took his face in-between his hands and they were close, their eyes locked and the pain at the idea of him leaving him for whatever reason rose and was shaking his whole body before it eased and calmed down by feeling the other’s soft hands on his cheeks, looking into those loving brown eyes and hearing the words the man said. His heart fluttered and it was like thousand wings were in his stomach when the young man told him that he truly loved him and that there wasn’t anyone in the world he’d rather marry than him and that he was everything he had ever wanted. It gave him relieve and those words made joy flood through him, his heart jumping happily in his chest but there still was a little evil thorn left that was stinging him. “But what if I won’t look like this anymore? My body that you love? Would you still want me if I lost muscle mass or worse gained weight, my hairline was to recede and when I turned grey? Would you still want to walk to the altar with me then while you’re still perfect and I won’t be? What if I looked like an old man, like my father and I’d be next to you while you’re the most gorgeous?” it broke out of him what had bothered his mind from time to time even before and he really felt like he needed the other to kiss and touch him, to feel him in that moment but he himself couldn’t because he had that image on his mind that turned his stomach upside down and kept him from it. He certainly had a fear of getting old, of looking old and although it wasn’t as pathological as his mothers it still was clearly there and he also feared that his fear would turn pathological like his mothers. While his father didn’t seem to bother at all! Why couldn’t he not bother either? Not question and take it for granted that he’d be still attractive and desirable like his old man did?

 

 

A cheeky grin was to see on his face when Kario blushed and said that Ashfield apparently just couldn’t help himself and always had to make him blush. “It just seems to be a fortunate by-product to telling you how hot and cute you are and how you turn me on.” the governor playfully said, biting the young male’s earlobe. “And I won’t stop telling you that, especially not when your body reacts that amazing for me, cumming all over the place.” He grinned teasing the black haired his eyes wandering over the other’s stained stomach and to the other’s sexy cock that he had found really aesthetically pleasing from the start. He’d really love a statue of Kario, not only of them having sex, but of the other alone as well.

 

His eyes blinked up and he smirked when his boyfriend said that he might let it become a habit to wake him up like that every once in a while. “Every week sounds good.” The governor found looking into the brown eyes. It really was a great prospect to be woken up by being excited, to start into the day with passionate and intense sex. It would sure make the mornings brighter and it would be easier for him to wake up and get out of bed then.

 

He immediately felt his boyfriend curling up against him when he had pulled out and rolled to the side. It made the stupid happy smile on his face grow when Kario told him that whenever he’d look at another man he’d only see Devon and how amazing he made him feel and that he really did want only him and that no one stood a chance compared to him. It really were exactly the words he had wanted to hear and that were boosting his ego up again and made him kiss the other even more claiming and dominating, holding him tight as his young lover was clinging onto his body and moaning into their kiss.

 

The answer he received after having asked the other man whether he thought he could sleep now and whether his body was satisfied made him feel glad as the other seemed half-asleep already. Devon caressed his cheek softly and placed a kiss onto his forehead before he leaned back again and closed his eyes as well ready to go back to sleep and letting his boyfriend sleep curled up onto him. The governor was rather quickly dozing off again and when Kario suddenly raised his head, followed by his voice he had nearly fallen asleep already. Ashfield’s eyes were heavy so he didn’t open them up when his lover asked him whether they really had to go and clean up, seemingly just as unmotivated and unwilling to get out of bed as the blond was himself. “We obviously should.” He answered sleepily. “But I don’t want to.” The politician was honest, rubbing the cum that was left on his hand onto the bed sheets that would get changed the next day anyway. “So we might as well just sleep the remaining hours and clean our dirty selves tomorrow.” He found leaning his head onto the other’s shoulder falling asleep again quickly after.

 

 

 

 

 

It felt like it had only been minutes and not hours when the alarm clock was ringing and the governor was forcefully woken up by the sound of the radio playing a song. He reached out his hand and smashed it onto the alarm fighting his usual battle to open his eyes and wake up. And while he was slowly awakening the smell of their messy sex and sperm was filling his nostrils. Managing to open his eyes he was stroking over Kario’s cheek. “Let’s get up and take a shower. We have to head to my father’s office and then to the stores to get the presents for your parents.” The blond told him and pressed a kiss towards his boyfriends lips before he left the bed and dragged his naked, dirty body into the bathroom, aiming for the shower and not the giant bathtub, turning it on letting cold water run over himself to be able to wake up his body properly while his mind was already hooked on the schedule for the day and the prospect of meeting Kario’s parents and how to make the best possible impression, hoping that his young lover would be able to get out of bed after so little sleep during that night. Then again, the man was young and when Ashfield had been that young he often didn’t get much sleep and he had still felt less tired than he felt every morning nowadays.

[Sathenus]

"Oh well you know, such a young handsome guy as you visiting the country, roaming the streets. I'd be more surprised if there weren't guys willing to get into bed with you. It is also an interesting way to learn some culture." The last part was definitely him teasing his lover. Kario had been honest though, he would have been more surprised even today, if Devon didn't end up in bed with some hot guy he met on his travels. Though he knew the only thing stopping that from happening now was that the governor was his, and he was not going to share him with anyone. Smirking at his lover he laughed softly, "Though I still wouldn't be surprised if there weren't some guys who are still willing to climb into bed with you."

 

"I am definitely looking forward to us doing that." He mused with a smile. He really was going to enjoy them building a lot of nice and fond memories together. Both while traveling when the opportunity arose and at home or around the city. There were plenty of opportunities for them to have such memories with each other, and he'd definitely take every opportunity he got.

 

Returning the wild and claiming kiss, Kario was able to forget his slight embarrassment at his lover's previous words. When the kiss broke, his face was still a little flushed, but not nearly as bad as it had been before he had received the kiss. Smiling at the older man he ran his fingers gently over the other's torso once more. "Keep promising me to do such things like camping or seeing Normandy and other places and you'll probably see it more." He admitted. It seemed overly easy to him for Devon to make him excited, make his eyes shine and his face light up with a large smile. A lot of it was probably due to the fact that so much was different for him now, he was finally able to live a life he had only dreamed of without having to worry about what tomorrow held. It was nice, and he was already excited about his future, though mainly his future with Devon.

 

Kario couldn't help but laugh, "I would certainly be a terrible businessman." There was no point in trying to deny that, even the thought of him trying to be a successful businessman was funny to him. It would surely end in disaster. It did get his mind to rove though, wondering about his future and thinking of all of the different paths that were now open to him. Never had Kario thought that he'd have such a bright future ahead of him, and the thought of it just made him more excited to see what it held. Giving his lover a smile he considered his path a little longer, "I might take a little trial and error to figure out what career path I want to take. I'll have to put quite a bit of thought into it before making any sort of decision." Kario said, though he was sure that Devon knew and understood this. This wasn't a decision he could make lightly, since it really did have to do with his future. Even if Devon was capable of supporting him, Kario didn't want his lover to have to. It would be quite nice to be happy in whatever career path he chose and be just as capable of supporting himself, if for no other reason than to prove to himself that he could if he ever had to in the future.

 

"Uniforms, huh?" He repeated with a small smirk crossing his face. It was actually nice to learn such a piece of information, mainly because he would have been lying to say when he was a teen that he hadn't had that same attraction to men in uniform. "So... if I had a job that involved me running around in a uniform... I'd have your attention even more?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. He couldn't deny that it was an extremely attractive thought, though he wasn't really sure if he was even cut out for any such career. There were plenty of careers that included a uniform of some kind, which honestly made him wonder what type of uniform turned his lover on more. This caused an amused smile to cross his face, "What type of uniform exactly would you like to see me in? Maybe something with more... authority? Like a police officer... the military. Or maybe something more subtle like an EMT, or a firefighter?" He was curious. As a teenager nearing the end of high school Kario had seriously considered joining the ranks of their military, and had since then asked himself numerous times why he hadn't done so. It would have been a better path than he ended up on. "I think I'd look good in just about any uniform though, don't you think?" He asked jokingly.

 

"I'm glad to hear that, since I can't seem to control myself and not touch you most of the time. Though I do believe that's mutual, isn't it love?" Kario teasingly breathed over his lover's lips just before they were caught in a greedy kiss that he happily returned. Once it broke he pressed his lips once more to the blonde's neck. "Though especially when I go all day without seeing you, I seem to not be able to control myself even more and can't stop touching you." As if that wasn't clear enough already, he had missed Devon quite terribly all day even if he had been with the blonde's mother. Now that Devon was home, Kario couldn't help but shower his lover with love and attention, that included his hands touching and stroking his lover's torso while trying his best not to arouse him. Though it didn't seem like the governor minded in the least, which was certainly a plus.

 

"Devon, my love, you really have nothing to worry about. I will love you no matter what. I'll love and stand by your side when you grow older, even if you lost your handsome toned body for a less muscled one or even gained weight. I'll love you when or if your hairline recedes and it turns grey." Kario tried to assure his lover, the man he truly did want to spend the rest of his life with. "I would also love nothing more than to walk down the aisle and to the altar, to you, whether in this state, or when you are older. Even if you're older and look more like your father, because I love you, I want to be with you no matter what. Both now, and then. No one stays young forever, including me." He truly hoped he was reassuring the older man, he loved him and wanted to be with him. Kario wanted Devon to be by his side for the rest of his life. He didn't care that the governor was older than him, that the man was technically old enough to be his father. What mattered to Kario was how the blonde made him feel, how they treated each other and the fact that he truly loved him. Though he understood his boyfriend's worries, he wanted to set those worries aside and make sure Devon was as sure that he wouldn't leave him as he got older, since he was positive of that himself.

 

 

Groaning again at his lover's words his face flushed in embarrassment once more. "Devon!" He whined playfully as he tried to hide his newly flushed face. Just when he had thought that the older man wouldn't make him blush again, Devon did just that. It didn't help that the man's eyes were going over his stained stomach and his cock which only made his face turn even redder. Though he had to admit that he did feel quite pleased that Devon enjoyed his body's reaction for him so much. "If you keep saying stuff like that every time you make me cum I'll never be able to be around you without blushing furiously." He complained, though it wasn't really much of a complaint to begin with.

 

"I can definitely pull that off." Waking Devon up like that every week seemed like a good idea to him, and definitely reasonable. There wasn't any reason for him not to after all, and he'd be lying to say he didn't enjoy doing so. "Be a nice little ritual of ours." Just the thought of them turning that into an every week thing was pleasing, even if he would have to remember to do so in the morning, and not in the middle of the night.

 

There was a sense of relief that he wasn't going to be expected to get out of bed and clean up, considering he would be much happier to just go to bed now that he was actually capable of sleeping. "Sounds good." He murmured in response to being told they might as well wait until tomorrow and clean up in the morning. He was asleep almost instantly after, still curled up against Devon's side. It had to be some of the best sleep he had in a while, and was sure that nothing would have been able to wake him up until he was actually ready to face the day.

 

The feeling of a hand stroking over his cheek made him murmur softly, not having caught the sound of the alarm going off. It wasn't until he heard the older man speak that he managed to peak an eye open and glance tiredly up at him. Watching his boyfriend get out of bed he just looked after him for a moment, instantly slipping into the now vacant spot again right before his eye drifted shut once more. He sighed heavily really not wanting to get up out of bed, despite knowing that he probably should. For a minute he still laid there before finally dragging himself out of the bed and towards the bathroom. Without an thought he slipped into the shower beside his boyfriend, not even caring that the water was actually cold though he instantly leaned himself against the older man. "You're lucky you're far more tempting than the warmth and comfort of the bed." He murmured, rubbing at his eye as he spoke.

 

It took him a little while before he managed to pull himself away from Devon and stop clinging to his lover to actually wash himself up so they could get going. Even if the prospect of the visit with his boyfriend's father wasn't the most appealing way to start their day at least it would get done and over with in the beginning. Once he got himself washed up and all of the dried sperm off his body he leaned up to give the blonde a quick kiss. "Okay, let's get dressed and get this day going. Before I get nervous and decide I'm not leaving the mansion at all." He murmured. Kario was completely honest though, he was getting more and more nervous at the prospect of them going to see his parents, so much so, that he was really tempted to crawl back into the bed and under the covers while refusing to go anywhere. Just like he would when he was little and was told he had to do something he didn't want to do.

 

As he stepped out of the shower and moved to grab a towel he glanced towards his lover, flashing him a smile. "You know, if I get to shower with you every morning I'd definitely be much happier getting up." He really did like it, just having Devon there even if the shower itself was innocent was pleasant to him. Wrapping the towel around his waist he turned to face the governor. "So I know we have to visit your father's office, then get the gifts for my parents before we visit my parents. Is that all we need to do today?" He asked a little curious if something was missing. Keeping his mind occupied was probably the best way of having another sexless day. Though he had agreed to be easier on himself after making it so long yesterday without sex, he was still determined to get through at least half the day before giving into his body and allowing it to slow him down again. He had to fight it, if he gave in then he wouldn't make any progress at all.

[-Hideki-]

Grinning he looked at the young man when he teased him saying that hooking up with different men from different nations was an ‘interesting way to learn some culture’. The grin turned into a laugh when his boyfriend told him that he wouldn’t be surprised if there still were some guys who’d like to sleep with him. “Yes there certainly are. You are one of them, you not only want to, you do it too.” He confirmed with a wink. “I actually got directly hit on today for the first time. Before I was always the one taking the initiative.” Devon laughed because he found that rather funny. “It would also be a bad sign if no man was attracted to me enough to want to have sex with me anymore. I never want that to happen to me.” The governor stated. The blond man had never had much difficulties to attract other guys and to find partners to have sex with and knowing that he was still good looking he also knew that if he wanted to and tried he could find more than one guy to fuck on one day but he had absolutely no interest to because he had something much better than that, he had Kario.

 

Ashfield laughed with the other being told that his lover didn’t see a point in trying to deny that he would be a terrible businessman. Being one himself and knowing a lot of businessmen, having grown up surrounded by them, he could tell that this profession wasn’t for his boyfriend so he wouldn’t even try to get him into business and economics. And for some reason the idea of being with another businessman was unappealing to him anyway. Not in a sexual way but in a way that concerned living together and sharing ones lives though he was not so sure why it didn’t appeal to him but some characteristics most businessmen possessed in personality didn’t speak to him although he had some of those too.

Nodding his head he fully agreed when the young man said that it would take some trial and that he had to put thought into what he really wanted to do before making a decision. “Indeed. You can even try out different thing; see what you’re into and what you find fun and interesting. Experiment with your talents. Even if you make a decision it doesn’t have to be the final one if it turns out that you’d like something else better.” The governor assured his lover with a smile.

 

The rosy tone on his cheeks got a little more intense in colour when his young lover smirked repeating that Devon had a thing for guys in uniform followed up by him asking if he had a job where he was wearing a uniform if he’d have his attention even more. The other definitely had his attention anyway but he would experience another kind of Ashfield’s attention if he was to wear a uniform. “I’d certainly respond to that sight…”the governor admitted imagining his extraordinarily handsome boyfriend walking into his office in a police uniform trying to seduce him. The idea was exciting and he felt a spark downstairs.

Being asked what kind of uniforms he was into and what he’d like to see Kario in his face was heating up again right when the young man mentioned ‘authority’ and police and military uniforms what was spot on and somehow he had the feeling that his boyfriend had already guessed so but wanted to tease him by asking to specify it. “The first.” The politician let the other know, looking to the side as he felt this was somewhat awkward to say especially considering his position in society.

He turned back towards the black haired though when the man joked about looking good in all kind of uniforms. “You absolutely would. But you look good in everything. You’re just unusually handsome and attractive.” The governor told the other looking into his brown eyes with his golden one’s.

 

Ashfield thought that the answer as to whether it was mutual that they couldn’t control themselves and stop touching each other was rather clear with the greedy, deep kiss he was giving the black haired. Devon definitely wasn’t capable of not touching the man and he too had missed the other, had been longing for him, longing to be around him and to touch him. “Same.” He said after his boyfriend had said that after not having seen him the whole day he was not able to not touch him in the slightest. “It’s difficult to try to not enthral you and to not touch you too much.” The blond let the other know because he surely craved to return the touch he received but he still held himself back, enjoying and focussing on the soft hands running over his torso what made him wish they went elsewhere too.

 

The knot inside of him seemed to be tightened in his chest before it was loosened and disappeared completely hearing Kario say that he wouldn’t feel different if he didn’t look like this anymore. Ashfield had looked for signs of disgust and being uncomfortable on his young lover’s face when he had described how his body could change in the future while he was getting older and surprisingly enough he had not been able to find it. The black haired looked at ease and loving when he told him that it wouldn’t change his feelings for him and that he’d still love to marry him if he was looking older. And that even if he ended up looking more like his father it wouldn’t matter because he loved him. The relieve he felt and that the idea of that was rather touching to the blond man was visible on his face and his body that lost its tension. A sigh was to hear and he let his forehead sink onto the black haired man’s shoulder. “You are so perfect it’s almost surreal.” The governor said the need of being shown physical affection in that moment still prevalent though. “Kiss and touch me please.” The man whispered.

 

 

Smirking cockily he looked at his lover when the other’s face turned all red again and he playfully scolded him telling him that if he kept saying things like those every time he made him cum he wouldn’t be able to be around him without blushing furiously. The smirk was followed by a chuckle and he let his hand run over Kario’s glowing cheek, caressing and stroking it with his thumb. “Fortunately I find you absolutely adorable and sexy when you blush furiously like that so I don’t mind.” he breathed into his ear teasingly, licking it down to the man’s jaw where he started to nibble on.

 

 

 

After the man felt that the cold water had actually woke him up completely he was applying shower-gel onto his torso that had been stained with his cute lover’s seeds. And while he was washing himself he remembered the hot expression on his boyfriend’s face and how he had shot that giant load from being ravaged by Devon’s cock and he looked like he was lusting over someone although he was alone in the bathroom or at least he had thought he was. Being caught in his mind that was visualising the memories of the intense, steamy sex they’ve had in the night he only realised that Kario had woken up when he entered the shower. Ashfield startled for a moment but his heart rate was calming again soon and the next thing he knew was the black haired male clinging onto him apparently uncomfortable with the cold water. The governor turned it warmer for the young man who kept leaning against him though, letting him know that he was lucky that he was more tempting than the bed. Laughing he let his hand run through the younger male’s dark hair. “I am quite the happy bunny.” He grinned. “Even more so because I am getting to shower with someone as cute as you!” the blond stated, kissing the young man’s forehead.

 

When Kario could bring himself to let go of him he continued to clean his body and his hair and since he had already started before he was ready in no time. However he didn’t leave the shower as he wanted to leave it with the other although he had been going in before him. It also wasn’t like he got bored as he got to see how his attractive lover was cleaning his body and his tempting tight little hole by dragging the cum out of it and Ashfield’s eyes lit up seeing that, feeling how he was starting to get aroused while he devoured the young male with his golden gaze, his thoughts not so innocent as the shower they were taking seemed to be. It unfortunately didn’t take long for the other to clean himself so he couldn’t watch more but was told instead that they should get out and get dressed before the black haired man would get too nervous and would refuse to leave the mansion. “No way Mister!” the blond said, wrapping his arms around the other’s hips, grabbing his arse-cheeks firmly with his hands. “I won’t let you hide yourself in the mansion. Even if I have to take you by the hand and drag you there!” the governor stated a smirk on his face. “You might feel nervous now and it might seem that you’d rather not go but if you don’t you’ll regret it while if you go and overcome the nervousness you’ll be glad that you did.” The blond explained since he had first hand experiences with situations like this. “So let’s go!” he said encouragingly but not without giving the young man a slap onto his bared, wet, luscious arse before he left the shower.

 

While Devon was drying his blond, fine hair the man he loved told him that he’d be much happier getting up if he got to shower with him every morning. “I certainly won’t complain either.” The billionaire laughed. “Although I doubt that you would like to get up much earlier than you need to every morning for the sole purpose of showering with me!” the man laughed. Ashfield got up crazy early in the morning during the week and he somehow doubted that the young man would be thankful being woken up that early every morning to get under the shower with him.

 

Having dried his hair he was drying his body unconsciously making quite the poses while doing so. After he was ready he threw the towel over the tiger statue again when Kario went over their schedule for the day asking if there was anything else other than what he had listed. “That’s correct.” He told him approaching the young man. “Although we still have to remember ordering practical clothing for you when we come back to the mansion…” he was grabbing a hold of the man and grinned cheekily. “And then we have to order you something for down there. So that you can relieve yourself.” The blond said, his hand sliding down the other’s body, his hands spreading the other’s arse-cheeks a little, his index finger rubbing over the freshly cleaned rosy hole of his boyfriend, teasing the young man somewhat, before he kissed him passionately and deeply, his tongue on an expedition in the other’s mouth. When he broke the kiss he slightly bit down Kario’s lower lip, smirking widely as he left the bathroom and headed for the dressing room continuing to talk.

 

“That’s all then though. Well, I might get one or the other phone call but if I can solve it on the phone it’s not an issue. It only becomes bothersome when I am called to the office and there is an emergency. But one can never know for sure. I have once had to rush back from my vacation because of an emergency in our state. It was a nine hours flight and when the plane landed I had to go to the office immediately. I tell you I was completely wracked later.” The man called through the mansion so that the other could still hear him when he was getting dressed. Devon was taking out a suit he only wore to special occasions. It was black and looked like it had pinstripes on it, just that the pinstripes were actually real diamonds. The tie was shining quite decadently as well and Ashfield looked like he either wanted to impress someone or was wearing that stuff to brag about and to display how rich he was. The first thing was the case though. He still wanted the man’s parents to think the best of him. So he would wear nice clothes. That was completely understandable. For a moment he was torn between taking an expensive walking cane that he had inherited but maybe that would have been too much.

 

Completely dressed he went back into the bathroom again to get his hair fixed. When he ran into his young boyfriend he got curious if he thought that he was looking decently enough to see his parents. “What do you think? Am I presentable for you to introduce me to your parents?” he asked. “Or should I take the cane after all? I wasn’t sure…” the blond man asked the other before he went inside the bathroom but left the door open to fix his hair and apply perfume.

 

He didn’t let any more time pass and as soon as the both of them were ready to leave he took Kario’s hand and left the mansion with him entering the garage. When he turned on the light it didn’t come from the ceiling but the ground and each car he had, had its own pedestal where they could drive down. “Those are my cars by the way.” The governor let the young man know his eyes shining rather proudly. The man had the anthracite Lamborghini, a black Rolls-Royce, a white Audi and a red Ferrari. “That one is my baby! It’s my favourite!” he said pointing at the Lamborghini which he most of the time drove around in. He pressed the button of the key and the doors of the car swung open like wings. “My father is into Mercedes since he had been taken to a car convention when he was little. All of the corporation’s business cars are Mercedes and he collects them too, that and exotic reptiles. He is also an investor of Mercedes, he tried to buy the whole company when he was young but it didn’t quite work out back then. If you ask him about it he’ll look at you grumpily and will tell you that he is working on it and that one day it’ll be his and to quit the smug grin.” Devon said clearly amused thinking about that. “Well, we should head to the corporation.” The blond smiled and gesticulated the other to get into this car, taking place on the driver’s seat. “What cars did you or your family drive?” he was curious when he was leaving the garage behind, driving over his property towards the gate. “You have a favourite?” he wanted to know.

 

 

It was a drive of about twenty to thirty minutes to get into the city and then they could see the huge building where the name ‘Ashfield’ was shining on top and where one could not only see advertisements but also Devon’s face and something that seemed like a high-tech election poster towering over the city. “Here we are.” The blond said driving onto the property of the cooperation, parking his Lamborghini between all the black business cars that were all Mercedes without exception. One of those the governor had used to drive to the brothel with and in one of which he had ejaculated onto the steering wheel after wanking in the car.

 

Although he used the employee’s entrance he took the fastest way into the main entrance hall. It was mostly made out of platinum and there was a giant diamond waterspout fountain in the middle of the hall. A lady in her late twenties whose outfit reminded of a first class stewardess was behind the reception and smiled at them brightly - she always did as if she was always the happiest she could be – at the two of them. “Welcome to the headquarters of Ashfield Corporation Governor! Sir!” she nodded into Devon’s and then Kario’s direction. “Can I help you?”she asked. “Good Morning. No thanks. I’m just here to visit my father.” The blond man answered and continued to walk past the costumer’s and employees elevators. “Can I offer you something to drink while you’re waiting for the elevator Governor Ashfield!” the young woman called after them because Devon had walked past her too fast for her to reel off her usual program. “No thank you young lady!” he called back as he left the entrance hall with Kario and entered a small room with royal blue carpet on the ground. There was one elevator that was not only platinum but that had the number one on the doors with sapphires. He held a card onto a scanner and the doors swung open. “Good Morning Devon Ashfield and guest!” the elevator’s computer voice said as the both of them stepped inside. As soon as the doors had closed behind them it started to play Wagner music because the governor’s father found it had something powerful and expressing power and status was all the man was about.

 

The elevator didn’t have any available options. It only drove up onto the highest floor that basically was his father’s office and from where one could see the whole city. When the doors opened the music stopped and the computer voice sounded again. “Have a nice day Devon Ashflied and guest.” It wished them and the blond walked out of the elevator. They stood inside of a smaller hall where a tiny, petite woman was sitting behind a luxurious crystal and sapphire counter. She stood immediately when she saw the both of them coming and was putting on a smile. Andrew Ashfield’s secretary Annabelle was a year younger than Kario. She had long aubergine-coloured dyed hair with straight bangs and was wearing glasses. The woman was thin and small in general but her tits were enormous what disabled her of closing the upper buttons of her blouse because she couldn’t find something that was fitting her thin figure and huge tits at the same time although all the other secretaries in the company were slandering her and accusing her of only having gotten that job because she was actively trying to seduce her boss with this on purpose, what she was not as she had no interest in Devon’s father. It was however true that the old man had not made her his secretary because she was so experienced and qualified for the job. He had never looked at secretaries qualifications to begin with.

 

“Good morning Governor Ashfield.” She greeted him with a smile. “How can I help?” she asked. “I will have a talk with my father now.” Devon just said not paying her or her bursting blouse any attention. He never had and she had always wondered why before, now it was obvious why. “I’m sorry Governor but Mister Ashfield is busy and doesn’t wish to be disturbed. You could wait or you might come back at a better time.” She informed them and Devon frowned. “I don’t care what he wishes. I am going in there now!” the blond said, dragging Kario with him on his hand walking towards a huge double door. The secretary protested but when she realised that he was not going to listen she was running or rather hoofing towards the door on her high-heels and in her tight skirt. Being quite proficient in walking like this she managed to be in front of the door before the governor and attempting to block the way inside. “Stop! Stoooop! No! You can’t enter! Mister Ashfield clearly said that I should not let anyone bother him.” The woman repeated sprawling out her arms to block the door. Devon shook his head amused. “Come on Dolly, you can’t be serious now. Out of my way.” The man said and the woman’s doll face blushed. “That’s not my name!” she protested and Ashfield raised an eyebrow. “That’s how my father refers to you so I thought…” he started but was cut off. “I know but it’s still not my name. My name is Annabelle.” She told him and he shrugged. “Alright Annabelle! Out of my way.” He repeated and she shook her head vigorously. “No. I said you can’t. I can make you an appointment or call Mister Ashfield and ask when he is free to see you.” She insisted and the blond sighed. “An appointment with my father….” He shook his head. “Fine, then we’ll do it this way…” Devon said and he grabbed the tiny young lady by her waist and lifted her off the ground as if she was weighing nothing at all, taking her away from the door as if she was indeed a doll and then opened the door holding it open for Kario. “I know it’s ‘Age before beauty’ but let’s do it the other way around today.” He said to his lover with a wink, closing the door after him, entering a huge lounge, letting the door fall close into Annabelle’s face.

 

In the lounge he found Michalski at the bar taking a bottle of coke and Smith sprawled out on a sofa apparently trolling around on the internet. “Morning.” He greeted them and Michalski nodded into his direction. Smith grinning. “Morning Ashfield. Taking your whore for a walk?” he asked and Devon just gave him the middle finger. He stepped to the door behind which his father’s office was hearing the door move behind him. “More strength Dolly! Give it all you’ve got!” the man on the sofa mocked the tiny woman who battled the doors which were incredibly heavy, too heavy for her. When the governor turned to Kario he heard the high-heels on the ground as Annabelle was apparently hoofing towards them again to stop them but her objection of them entering his father’s office got under due to Smiths commentary. “You have to go faster to catch the butt-pirate babe! I’ve heard jumping up and down helps to run faster. Doesn’t it Michalski?”the dark haired bodyguard was amused staring at the woman’s cleavage and how her tits moved while she walked. Michalski laughed staring as well, pouring coke over his hand. Ashfield turned around.” Butt-pirate Smith? Really?” he asked and the bodyguard grinned at him, not taking his eyes from Annabelle. “Ja, because the fanatic morons ruined ‘fag’ for me I’m gonna call you that now. Clever huh?” the man said and Devon sighed. “Absolutely.” He said in a sarcastic tone.

 

Ignoring what was going on and that Annabelle had lost her caricature of a shoe and had to bend what made Michalski and Smith hoot

he gave Kario a kiss onto his lips what he couldn’t even finish before it was commented by Smith too:“Yikes! We got it, you’re a fairy Ashfield, you don’t have to rub it into everyone’s face alright.” That only made him deepen the kiss and press the other man’s body onto himself in return what made Smith look away and screw his nose. “Can you bear waiting here? I think it’s better to confront my father alone.” He told him. “If Smith annoys you kick him, I give you permission.” The governor smiled and stroked the other’s cheek before he entered his father’s office.

 

Devon was curious as to what kind of meeting his father had that the woman had been so eager to stop him entering and he was surprised that when he entered he only saw Daniel McNeil his father’s bookkeeper in the room with his old man. McNeil was shorter than Devon, ginger haired, had a three-days-beard and although he wasn’t exactly chubby he had a small stomach bulge. His grey eyes peered at the blond as he had not expected anyone nor did his father who was looking annoyed when his son was in his office. The man with the sharp silver-blue eyes and the strictly slick back silver hair was giving him that frozen look through his glasses. “What are you doing here! I told Dolly to not let anyone enter. Gosh, that chick is incompetent!” The man barked and Devon grinned at his father trying to ignore the numbing feeling in his stomach that his father’s eyes were giving him, willing to stand up against him. “You should consider a taller and stronger secretary with more authority then.” He advised the other amused, well knowing how his father chose his secretaries. “We are going to talk, now!” the blond said and before his father could say anything he turned to the bookkeeper. “Get out of here McNeil!” the governor demanded but the bookkeeper was not moving. “Stay!” his father said, his eyes turning into sharp slits piercing through Devon and he felt as if the other was freezing his heart and his lungs. “Are you hard of hearing McNeil! I said get out or my office will drop a sweet little hint to the taxation office about you.” The blond threatened and it worked, McNeil left the room. Although he was turning back towards the door to press his ear onto it to eavesdrop immediately after the door had fallen shut.

 

“The taxation office? You hate the taxation office!” his father said raising an eyebrow. “Yes. But I have not threatened myself with it did I. And even if so, I - at least officially - have nothing to hide from them.” The blond said smiling even though he was feeling uncomfortable and nervous about challenging his father. The silver haired man with the calculative eyes and sharp jaw and the thin lips grinned though. “Maybe you aren’t that big of a failure after all brat.” He said and it was one of the biggest complements the governor could expect from his old man. “Let’s have it! Why are you annoying me with your presence in my office?” he wanted to know and Devon felt how he was starting to sweat what wasn’t good because he didn’t want to smell or seem sweaty when meeting Kario’s parents so he hoped his deodorant would be doing a good job and not leave him hanging. “To tell you that you should take back the threat to Mei!” he spoke his voice clear and his face determined, his knees weak. “And why is that all of a sudden. I remember that you were rather thankful when took care of her back then!?” his old man asked but it was a question that was actually just asked to demonstrate Devon why his father was right and that his old man would win the discussion. “It’s not back then now though. The circumstances are different. Not only that, she threatened to make your threat to her public, to drag us to court. And if that happens I can throw my career out of this window right away. Your threat is worse than anything Mei could actually say about me. If the public gets to learn that you might have threatened her they will start to speculate why and think that I have something scandalous to hide. Whereas if she would publically announce that I couldn’t get it up with her and that I practise anal sex, even if she calls it an arse fetish like she does, it won’t be news to people because they are already assuming that after my sexual orientation has been exposed to them anyway.” He argued his voice calm.

 

His father stared at him not saying anything so Devon took the opportunity to carry on. “Hence, you will call her, tell her that you are leaving her and her family alone and that you won’t kidnap her child and won’t ship the child to Sweden! And you will do it today!” He demanded and then added. “And why Sweden anyway?”he asked because that country didn’t really was good for a threat in his opinion.

Andrew Ashfield looked at him as if he was as retarded as Smith, as if that was obvious. “Sweden is Europe’s San Francisco! And San Francisco is a disgusting hippie-nest full of unpatriotic, uncivilised and unnecessary retards.” The man hissed and the blond rolled his eyes having heard his father’s San Francisco rants quite often in his life already and they never got closer to the actual truth anyway. “And Europe’s San Francisco is the worse threat than actually dangerous, underdeveloped nations stuck in the middle ages?” he wanted to know and his father raised his head looking at his son. “Do I look like a monster to you? I wouldn’t send a kid into literal shit!” the man said and Devon raised an eyebrow at the question. “Am I supposed to answer the ‘monster’ question honestly?” he asked and his father’s brows narrowed. “You were the one saying that I should let your ex-wife’s baby get carried to the most rotten places on this planet in the first place, not me!” he said and the blond saw what the man was trying there now and if he didn’t say something right now his old man would call Mei and worsen the threat and instead of Sweden say Iran or Afghanistan or something like that.

 

“No, no, no, no,no! I never said that! Never!” Devon objected. “I said that you will go and tell her that you will leave her alone, that she and her family is save and that no one is going to be kidnapped anywhere. Promise me to do that and nothing else! If only to get me into the office you want me to be in and to prevent Claris Miller from getting elected!” the man told his father and the other was thinking for a moment, apparently actually considering it what was already worth something at least and while his father was standing there like that not saying a word he was thinking that he might be drowning in his sweat. “Fine.” It finally came from his father than and the lump in his throat disappeared again, great relieve overcoming him and if there had been a chair he would have sunken right onto it. “But if you lose this election I am sending your gay arse to Sweden instead understood?” he threatened and Devon smiled. “Alright. I could need a vacation anyway.” He just said about to leave his father’s office. “I’ll call Mei later and ask her if you told her.” The governor said but he was feeling his father’s gaze on his back, examining him.

 

“Is there an important event going on or why are you dressed like this!?” the man wanted to know looking at him sceptically, and Devon turned around the hand on the door already. “No event. I’m going to meet my boyfriends parents.” He told him and everything fell out of his father’s face. “What! This whore is not your boyfriend! So you actually mean this bullcrap you told on TV!? That you love this thing!” he shouted and now McNeil didn’t have to press his ear onto the door anymore because it was to hear in whole lounge what they were saying. “He is not a whore! I destroyed the contract! I love this man and you better get used to him being with me.” The blond countered and his father was laughing drily. “Apparently you are not only gay, you are also a complete moron. You have gone full retard now, Smith is a legit genius against you!” he barked at the blond and ran his hand through his silver hair. “You insolent brat are a disgrace. Letting yourself be fooled and exploited for your money by a little boy whore and trying to impress losers who have brought something like that into life and weren’t capable of raising something better! I have taught you better than that Devon! This is not the behaviour of an Ashfield!” the man raged and Devon’s body got tense, not because he was nervous but because he was furious now. “Shut up! Keep your evil trap shut just this one time! Kario is a great person and he is something that you are not even capable of being, kind and loving. And you don’t know him nor his parents and you should not insult them or call them losers! And while we’re at it, could you quit insulting people including journalists constantly, it’s not helpful as I am getting associated with you every frigging time you act like this in public and I am tired of defending your shit!” his thread of patience was torn apart and he felt much better when he had yelled that into his father’s face.

 

His old man was staring shocked as he had not expected that outburst from his son who had never shown such a side to him before. “I am not insulting anyone you idiotic, ungrateful brat!” he hissed. “All I do is stating facts and if those sissies feel insulted by the truth, well tough luck!” his father stated and Devon took in a deep breath calming himself again. “Then would you stop telling the “truth” all the time at least until Election Day because it’s not helping my victory you know.” The blond tried it that way. “No!” his father said, crossing his arms in front of his chest like a stubborn child. The governor thought about one other way to maybe get him to stop and do what he wanted from him. “My advisors advice this though! And you don’t want to have a governor Miller pissing onto your business do you?” he lied because his advisors had never said anything like that. “I see. So that has to be changed.” The old man said, tapping his finger onto his jaw and Ashfield’s face lit up. “Fire them all. I have them replaced by people from the corporation in the afternoon.” His father than said and Devon sighed annoyed shaking his head. “I won’t fire my advisors. And if I might remind you, those were your men too.” He said still shaking his head when he was about to open the door as he felt like this was not worth his time anymore. “Tell Mei!” he reminded his old man and walked out the door. McNeil stood directly behind it and Devon was giving him a threatening look. Then he took Kario’s hand, still a frown on his face. “Let’s leave this insane asylum!” he said but when he wanted to head out again the door of his father’s office was opened by the silver haired man.

 

“Wait ! Although you’re an idiot and a disappointment but you are the only son I have and you are better than no heir at all. Dead you are worth shit! So you can’t go out without security. Especially not into the rats nest this whore crawled out of.” He barked after him. “You’ll take a bodyguard or I won’t talk to your ex-wife!” he extorted him when the blond wasn’t stopping. Devon sighed turning around. “Alright! But not Smith! He is exhausting and annoying and I don’t want him around again!” the blond stated what made Smith intervene in the conversation. “As if I’d want to go with you to that disgusting ghetto! I would probably need new vaccinations like tetanus and heavy arms too before going there.” The dark haired said but Devon didn’t react, ignored him and just looked at his father. “Michalski!” his old man said and the other bodyguard was taking the coke and was walking towards the governor and Kario. “Is that all!” Devon sarcastically asked but his father did talk again anyway not to him but to Kario though. “And you, you little shit! We’ll talk alone sometime very soon.” Ashfield got furious again. “No you won’t. Goodbye.” He said and stormed out of the lounge with Kario, Michalski following.

 

The tension was just falling off of his body when they were back in the car again, Michalski sitting on the back seat now. “The worst is over. I apologise to you, again, for his behaviour.” The blond said and started the car, leaving the property. “At least I successfully brought him to taking back the threats so that’s at least something.” Devon said driving into the direction of the stores. And while he was driving he could feel the eyes of the bodyguard on his back that were constantly jumping from him to Kario, staring through them like sharp knives but at least he didn’t say a word. It was giving the politician the creeps though and making him uncomfortable especially at red traffic light so he coughed and then said: “Michalski, would you consider not to stare at us like that. It’s creepy. Thank you.” The bodyguard turned his gaze away immediately but now he was staring right between them out of the front window still without blinking and it wasn’t that much better either.

 

When he arrived at the first shop he asked Kario to stay in the car with Michalski because he would only jump out to buy what had been prepared for him and it didn’t even take two minutes and he was back. The politician had bought a huge crystal rose made by Swarovski which he was giving his lover to hold while he was driving two streets further to the next store where he bought the expensive whisky which he gave Kario to hold for him too and which was now the object that the bodyguard was staring at like that, apparently eager to swap the whisky against his coke.

 

Devon was now smiling again because they had gotten over with the bothersome stuff rather quickly. “And now the rest of the day is ours and we can have a pleasant time.” He smiled at the young man, leaning over, kissing his lips lovingly, still smiling at him when their lips parted. “Would you tell me the address of your parent’s house now, that I can type it into the navigation system or do you know the way?” He asked happily shoving the whole thing with his father aside, eager to not letting the man back into his mind and destroy his day.

[Sathenus]

"I'm quite fortunate." Kario agreed with a smirk. He certainly was one of those guys who would be more than happy to sleep with Devon, and he was definitely happy that he got to do so. That was more than anyone else could say now, since he was certain no other man stood a chance anymore. They had to much of a connection, and clearly really cared about each other, so that was something Kario didn't worry about. Though he wasn't surprised to hear that his lover had been directly hit on today, since he found the man quite attractive and would be more surprised if other men didn't try to hit on him. But it made him wonder who exactly had done so. So it was a raised eyebrow and a clearly curious look on his face, "I can't say I'm surprised to hear that, because I'm not. But... who was it? I can't help but be overly curious. They've had to have feelings for you for awhile after all." He couldn't help but laugh when Devon told him that it would be a bad sign if no man was attracted to him enough to want to have sex with him anymore. "You will never have to worry about that love. I can certainly tell you that I won't ever stop wanting to have sex with you." He reassured the older man.

 

"That's true... but I'd like to get it right the first time." Kario admitted as his cheeks flushed slightly. He knew that not everyone could make such a choice the first time, but he wanted to. Even if that was probably putting unnecessary pressure on himself to do so, it was just something he wanted to do. The last thing he wanted was to start going down one career path just to find out that in the end it wasn't truly something he was interested in. The choice he made the first time, was something he wanted to be absolutely sure of, something that he felt deep inside was the right choice and not just something that he did because it sounded interesting at the time.

 

Noticing how the rosy hue of his lover's cheeks became a bit more intense at him repeating that uniforms turned his lover on only made a small amused look cross his face. His interest was peaked when Devon told him he'd certainly respond to the sight of him in a uniform, that made all sorts of scenarios play out in his mind. None of them remotely innocent, which only made him even more interested in his lover's attraction to such things. Being told that it was the first he had mentioned when trying to clarify what type of uniform exactly the governor would like to see him in, his curious look turned to a slightly dirty smirk. Eyes seeming to once more light up with that sparkle of interest and desire as he looked at the older man, not even caring that Devon seemed to be feeling awkward and unable to meet his gaze at this point. That dirty smirk of his didn't leave even as he started to speak, "If I did become a police officer, I would definitely have to stop by your office some time to make sure you aren't overly stressed out. That and to of course tease a little... especially if I know you'll be there late." The sparkle that had appeared in his eyes only seemed to become more prominent as he spoke. Clearly the idea was appealing to him, and it was even more appealing thinking about how his poor stressed boyfriend could use such a visit. "And if I don't, at least I know what to do for Halloween." He added, his smirk only seeming to grow at that comment.

 

"Unfortunately outside of a Halloween costume I don't think you'd ever get the pleasure of seeing me in a military uniform. I'm almost certain I'm not cut out for the ranks of our nations miliatry." That was his complete and honest opinion, he had seriously considered that career path as a young teen, at fifteen he had tried to convince his parents to let him enlist in the military when he turned 16, the following year. They had strongly refused, telling him that they would never give any of their children such permission, and if he was serious in joining the military they would support the decision, but it would not be before he was eighteen and out from under their roof. By the time Kario had turned eighteen, he had after all barely made it through high school and had put his parents through enough. It had shown him that he really didn't stand a chance in such a career, and thus he had abandoned any thoughts of enlisting and had given up on such a silly dream. He couldn't help the amusement he felt being told that he was unusually handsome and attractive which did make a slight flush appear on his face once more. "You're full of flattery today, aren't you?" He asked. Now he was trying to get a hold of himself again, even if he was glad that Devon seemed to think he would look good in everything.

 

"I promise not to deny you that pleasure every time you come home to me." Kario said softly, his voice a bit heated. Knowing that Devon was having trouble to not enthral and touch him too much, it made him feel bad that he continued to touch his lover. Even if he was trying his best not to arouse the governor to much, he should have known it wouldn't be that simple. If his own sex drive was at a more normal level he knew he wouldn't remotely refuse the man he loved, and even now that it wasn't he was so close to giving in and telling Devon to just take him now. But it wasn't that simple, and he couldn't give in. With a soft sigh he pressed his lips to the other's once more, "I'll definitely make tonight up for you. Since any other night you return home to me, especially after not seeing you all day I won't be able to control myself like this. Even now it's increasingly hard, despite you managing to control yourself."

 

The tension that seemed to melt off his lover at his words really did please him, even if he was speaking the truth he was glad the truth was able to make Devon feel better. The moment the older man's forehead was on his shoulder he reached up, running his fingers soothingly through the blonde strands. His own heart seemed to swell happily when he was told that he was so perfect it was almost surreal, mainly because no one had ever complimented him in such a manner before. Devon was the first one to ever really compliment him in general, outside of family. The whispered words telling him to kiss and touch his lover did not need to be said a second time, or louder. Kario's head instantly dipped down to catch the blonde's lips in a kiss, his hand that wasn't already running through his lover's blonde strands found its way to his lover's torso and began to trace patterns there instead. Never would Kario deny the blonde such simple things as his loving touch and kisses, especially not when asked for.

 

 

Feeling his lover caress his cheek that was quite hot and red from his embarrassment made his hesitant brown eyes lock on the other's golden gaze. Feeling the thumb gently rubbing over the heated skin and noticing the smirk on his lover's face didn't help him any. A groan escaped him at the man's words, partially due to just the thought of Devon making him blush in this manner again, and because the older man seemed to truly like doing so. "You're so mean!" He complained, though it was clear in his tone that he didn't actually mean it. That complaint almost didn't make it out of him without a moan because of the way Devon was licking down his jaw before he started nibbling and making sparks shoot through him again. "Such a tease..." He breathed out, his face seeming to flush even more, though it almost wasn't noticeable and was clearly from pleasure and not embarrassment this time.

 

 

A shiver raked down his spine as the cold water cascaded down his back and making him realize just how cold it was. Even if he could get used to the idea of waking up just to jump into the shower with the politician, he could not get used to the idea of waking up and jumping into a cold shower. A pleased sigh passed his lips when he felt the water become warmer, making his body that had tensed against the governor ease up, though his arms remained securely locked around the blonde. His lover's words and the kiss to his forehead made a pleased hum escape him, "Can you control yourself while we shower together, love? You seemed almost as if you could barely control yourself without me, much less with my naked form presented to you." Kario couldn't stop himself from teasing Devon, it was just far too tempting.

 

After managing to pry himself off his lover so they could both wash up he couldn't help it, his gaze was almost constantly glued to his lover. He still had fond memories of them showering together as well, even if they were from a part of his past he had no interest in repeating. The things that had happened between himself and Devon while there he most certainly would love to repeat. Not like it wouldn't happen. As he was cleaning out his hole he realized that he had Devon's attention glued to him, which made him flash the man a smile and drag it out a little longer than was necessary. Though he knew if he dragged it out for to long, he'd just end up arousing himself. Once he was finished cleaning himself up, and out, he made the little threat to his lover for them to hurry up and be on their way before he refused to leave the mansion. He wasn't expecting the response he got, though the arms wrapping around his hips and hands grabbing his ass were definitely pleasing. His hands rested on the older man's chest as their gazes met, listening as he was told that he wouldn't let him hide in the mansion, even if he had to drag him there by his hand. "So refuse to get out of the car. Got it." Kario replied with a smirk of his own, looking up at the man he loved with a defiant yet teasing look in his eyes. The encouraging words and the slap onto his bare and wet ass made him give an appreciative hum, happily following after Devon and making sure the shower was turned off before grabbing a towel for himself to get dry and dressed.

 

"Don't test me, handsome. You'd be surprised what I'm willing to do if it means I get to share some extra time with you before you run off to work and I'm left to die of loneliness." Kario replied with a teasing smirk. He really was in the teasing mood today which wasn't a rare thing for him, but today probably wasn't the best day for it either. With the visit with his parents and stopping by the office of his lover's father.

 

Catching a glimpse of his lover from the corner of his eyes as Devon was drying his body, he couldn't help how his gaze became glued to the man. The poses he had put himself in while doing that, even if unintentionally made his body ach and him bite his lip. It was far to tempting, he shouldn't have to control himself against something as awfully tempting and appealing as the governor. But he did, they didn't have time to mess around this morning, he'd just have to make up for it later. It seemed, that even when Devon wasn't doing so intentionally, that the man was quite a tease. Once he had finished drying his own body, he too returned the towel to the tiger statue, though he was caught off guard a little when Devon had grabbed ahold of him. His eye darting up to the other's as a smile appeared on his own face, "That we do. I'm going to need practical clothing if I am ever going to be seen out in the city for any reason after all. At least without dying of embarrassment." He agreed. What was said after made him nod as he thought that over, they did have to do that as well. It was needed, and even though it was still an embarrassing thought, it was something that had to be done. At the very least it had to be given a chance, it was the only way to know for sure if it would help him or not. "That's true. That will... still be a little embarrassing." He admitted with a sheepish smile. The hands sliding down his body body towards his ass made a soft red hue sprout up on his face once more. His body seeming to happily react as he felt his ass being spread a little and the finger rubbing against his hole. A soft moan parted his lips just in time for them to be caught in a deep and passionate kiss. It was rather eagerly that returned it, pressing his body more firmly against his lover. A disappointed groan was his response when the kiss was broken, his lip being bit gently before Devon was pulling away from him smirking widely and leaving the bathroom.

 

Mumbling under his breath how his love really was being a tease this morning he grudgingly left the bathroom himself to get dressed. Despite the fact that his body was now aching for something he would have to wait for. At least his arousal wasn't to the point that he was hard, at least not yet. Getting dressed in the most normal looking clothes that the blonde's mother had bought him he was listening to the older man speak. "Hopefully you won't be called to the office. That would certainly put a damper on our time together, not to mention our time with my parents." He admitted with a small shrug. If it happened, it happened, but he would keep his fingers crossed that it wouldn't.

 

Giving the other a glance as he noticed him making his way back towards the bathroom he looked over what Devon had dressed himself in. He looked... far to appealing for him to admit. "No... I think the suit alone is just fine." He replied trying to keep any hint of arousal out of his voice. He would much rather love to undress his lover from such a fancy suit than he would to take him to meet his parents. It was with a soft cough to help clear his mind and clearing his throat that he stood up straighter himself and tried to get the thoughts of undressing the other and the rather indecent things that would follow out of his mind. Today was going to be a long day, if for no other reason than because he was going to have to control himself and not jump his lover until they got home.

 

Following Devon as his hand was taken he was a little stunned by the cars that were presented before him. Eyes roving over each of them in turn, listening as the older man spoke, pointing out his favorite and telling him about his father being into Mercedes. It was all... higher end than he had expected, granted he wasn't really sure what exactly he had expected either. Turning his gaze back to Devon as he was lead over to the vehicle they would be taking and listening to the questions he was asked as they got into the car. "I... don't know. I was never into cars to be honest. So I truthfully can't name any types of cars." There was no point trying to lie his way through this. He had to be honest with the fact that he knew absolutely nothing about cars. He couldn't tell you what type of car a vehicle was by looking at it, there would have to be a huge sign above it stating what type of car it was for him to have any idea.

 

 

The drive into the city and towards their first stop made him get a little nervous, mainly because he knew that the person they were going to see certainly didn't have a good opinion of him. Glancing up at Devon when he announced that they were there he nodded, slipping out of the car and allowing Devon to once more take his hand and lead the way. He watched Devon pull out a card and get it scanned before the elevator opened admitting them while a voice sounded, giving his lover a curious look. "Why such a high tech elevator? Is it really necessary?" He asked, not understanding why it was necessary. Especially since it clearly didn't have any buttons once inside telling him it only had the one option. But he figured in the end there had to be reason behind it. Upon exiting the elevator he glanced towards the woman behind this desk, and it made him raise an eyebrow. His mouth opened to ask his lover something, but upon realizing that his question would probably be seen as rude if the girl managed to overhear it his mouth instantly shut again. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her feelings, even if his curiosity or rather his inability to understand women had brought questions to the front of his mind.

 

So far this visit made him aware that just about everyone referred to the blonde as Governor Ashfield, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing but it was defintiely new to him. It would take him a little while to fully get used to it, but it wasn't like he'd have much of a choice either way. As he was dragged towards the next set of doors by his hand he glanced towards the girl when she tried to object, stating that she had been told that she had been told he did not want to be disturbed by anyone. He felt a little bad that Devon was able to so easily move her aside despite her obvious attempt to do as she had been told and stop them from entering. Kario had opened his mouth to say that maybe they should try to come back, since it was clearly important to her to stop them. Before he even had a chance to get that out though Devon had opened the heavy looking doors and the man was speaking. Any objection he might have had disappeared at his lover's words, a smirk crossing his face and stepped into the next room being instantly followed by his boyfriend.

 

The two men in this room were familiar and he had to admit he hated being faced with them again, even under such different circumstances. Kario couldn't help but give Smith a dirty look when he spoke greeting his boyfriend while also managing to make a dig at both of them. As they moved towards the final set of doors standing between them and the office of his boyfriend's father he could hear the sound of the poor girl trying to get through the heavy doors behind them. He glanced back towards it as he heard Smith speak teasing the poor girl and making him frown, he was almost certain he'd have just as much luck as her trying to open them if he tried. The way the two bodyguards stared at her when she did manage to get through the doors, or rather at her cleavage only made him roll his eyes and feel even worse for her. Clearly this was a terrible place for the young woman to work, and coming from him that was saying a lot. His gaze was brought away from them when he felt his lover's lips pressing against his in a kiss.

 

He was able to hear Smith's comment before his body was pressed against Devon's, a soft moan escaping him as their bodies were pressed firmly together, his hands resting on his boyfriend's chest. When it broke this time he was a little breathless, looking up into the golden gaze he loved so much. The question of if he could bear waiting here for him while he spoke with his father made him sigh, especially as he glanced back towards the two men. Being told that he had permission to kick Smith if the man annoyed him made him glance towards the man once more. "Ah... yeah." He replied a little hesitantly, not sure he wanted to be left in the same room as the two men, but knowing that Devon had a point. What was about to happen in the office wasn't something he had to be part of, so he watched Devon as he entered the office before he sighed and turned to face the other occupants of the room. This... wasn't going to be the most pleasant thing he had ever done.

 

Kario ended up finding himself a place to wait that he hoped was in a spot that neither of the men would spare him so much as a glance. When the doors opened rather soon after Devon had entered he watched a man he had not seen before exiting the office, though the man instantly pressed his ear against the doors upon them closing. This of course made him roll his eyes, as if that was really necessary. Crossing his arms over his chest he sighed softly, waiting for Devon to return. He wasn't sure how long he waited in his spot before a voice met all of their ears, his eyes instantly moving towards the doors. He barely managed to stop himself from blushing severely hearing himself once more being referred to as a whore and knowing quite clearly that the man wasn't happy about whatever Devon had just said. Devon coming to his aide made him feel much better, but it didn't ease the pain at knowing that his boyfriend's father still only saw him as a worthless whore and nothing more. It made him glance away from the doors and at his feet, even as Devon finally left the office and moved towards him grabbing his hand and leading him back towards the heavy doors to leave.

 

As they made to leave he heard the voice of the man he was starting to dread more than Smith himself. He didn't spare the silver haired man a glance as Devon continued to lead him towards the exit, though he hated that he spoke about his boyfriend in such a manner. When he heard the man state that he would only call Mei and take the threat back if Devon took a bodyguard with him to visit his parents. It was hurtful that he even thought a bodyguard was necessary for his son to visit his parents. But Kario remained silent as Devon turned to face the man and said he wasn't going to take Smith. When Michalski was ordered to accompany them he glanced towards the man that he couldn't recall ever hearing speak as he moved towards them. His gaze moved towards the governor's father when Devon had sarcastically asked if that was all. When the silver haired man spoke and to him he instantly shied behind his boyfriend, trying to seem as small as he could and escape the man's notice. Clearly he wasn't happy with him, and he was sure there was fear that had appeared in his eyes at being addressed by the man, much less addressed in that tone.

 

There was a sense of relief that he felt when he was lead out of the lounge after, quickly following after Devon. His heart was ramming painfully in his chest, and he kept his gaze on the floor as they moved back towards the elevator to leave the office. He was happier and more at ease upon them making it back to the car and getting inside, able to ignore Michalski for the most part. As Devon drove he heard his lover apologize for his father's behavior once more. Sighing Kario glanced towards the window of the car his mind was racing. "Devon... you know I'm not with you for your money right?" He asked, truly worried about this. He didn't want Devon to think that was why he was with him, and he didn't want anyone to convince his lover of such a thing. It was silly, he loved Devon for him and not for his money. "I'd even sign a prenup if you wanted..." He offered after to make sure that it was clear. He'd sign anything if it meant that Devon could trust him and know for sure his money wasn't why he was with him. This truly worried him, terrified that Devon would believe that if enough people said it to him. How many people thought that of him? And how many of those people actually had the guts to say such things to the governor?

 

"That's true, at least she'll be able to rest easy now." He agreed with a nod at the news that Devon had gotten his father to take back the threats he had made towards Mei and her family. He was so lost in his thoughts, and what his boyfriend's father could possibly have to say to him that he was completely unaware of the way Michalski was watching them. It wasn't until Devon had asked the man to stop doing so that he spared the bodyguard a glance noticing the way he was staring out the windshield now instead.

 

As the pulled up to the first store he just nodded when Devon asked him to stay in the car with Michalski while he just ran in to get what he had called ahead for them to prepare. It was silent in the car, he gave a nervous glance towards the only other occupant of the car while waiting for Devon to return. Thankfully it was quick, and he took what was handed to him looking it over. It was really... beautiful. When he had told the older man that his mother loved flowers, he hadn't expected Devon to take this sort of take on it. It was stunning though, and he knew his mother would absolutely love the gift. Now they just had to stop and get the present for his father, which didn't take his boyfriend long to pick up either.

 

He happily returned the loving kiss flashing a smile for the first time since they had arrived at the office that morning. At the question of if he would tell the man his parent's address or if he remembered the way he laughed softly before giving his boyfriend his parent's address. That way he wouldn't have to worry about paying attention to the streets himself and could enjoy the trip there while talking to the man he loved and pretending that Michalski didn't exist.

 

The closer they got to his parents home the more he noticed the city change, it didn't bother him, because he knew the area he had grown up in and the people living there and it just made him feel more at ease. Returning to the place he knew like the back of his hand, to the people he had grown up with. He did however look to Devon to see if he could understand what the older man was feeling or thinking as the city began to change from what he knew and was proud of to what he barely even took notice of before. His nerves at meeting his parents didn't hit him until they were parked in the parking lot of his parent's house, he took in a shaky breath and let it out in a soft sigh.

 

"I'm not sure I'm ready for this..." He admitted after a moment of just sitting there making absolutely no effort whatsoever to get out of the car or even budge for that matter. His eyes were locked on the house he had grown up in, it certainly wasn't very impressive. It was a two story home, the pain on the outside was peeling, and there were some parts of the house that looked unstable in general including the porch leading to the front door. He knew that the stairs inside were warped and uneven, and the two steps leading up to the porch itself should probably be avoided. The lawn was unkempt at best, the grass pretty much dead and weeds were living here and there, large spots of the front yard was just dirt. The driveway itself was cracked in places, but not completely ruined. The chain link fence that surrounded the front yard was broken in places, making the rest of the fence completely useless as it clearly wasn't going to keep anything inside. Glancing towards his boyfriend he spoke again, "Oddly enough, this is exactly as I remembered it being growing up. It hasn't changed one bit." He admitted.

 

Knowing there was no getting out of this he glanced back towards the bodyguard this time, though he was looking at Michalski when he spoke his question was aimed towards Devon. "He is going to behave himself while inside, right?" It was going to be weird enough for the man to even be present during something he had thought would just be the two of them. The last thing he wanted or needed was for the man to make this even harder on him. Granted he had never really heard Michalski talk so... maybe he was the right choice of bodyguard to begin with. After he had been assured it would be okay, and he had managed to calm his nerves as much as he could he slipped out of the car holding the gifts in his arms while he waited for Devon and Michalski to join him. He handed the gifts to his boyfriend and gave him an encouraging smile.

 

Leading them towards the house and through the rather useless gate that separated the driveway from the front yard he lead them onto the porch. "Ah... I'd avoid the steps if possible. Or at least keep to the right side of the steps. They've needed to be repaired for as long as I can remember." He admitted rubbing the back of his neck. Once both men were safely on the porch beside him he knocked on the door anxiously awaiting it to be answered. He was taking in deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself, even though it really wasn't working and his heart was pounding in his chest.

 

When the door finally opened he didn't even have a chance to say or do anything, his eyes had just met those identical eyes of his mother when he was grabbed and pulled into a tearful hug. "My baby!" He heard his mother say as she held him close to her, and all he could do was manage to free his arms enough to return the hug though he felt like she was squeezing all the air out of him as she cried onto his shoulder. He barely managed to get out 'Mother' in a form of trying to get her to release him as he pat her back gently. When she did release him she wiped her eyes from the tears and gave him a happy smile, "Sorry, baby. Just so happy that you're finally home!" She exclaimed happily. Now that she wasn't clinging to her son Kario was able to take in his mother again for the first time in five years. She was a heavier set woman, and a few inches shorter than her son, making it clear that his height came from his father and not his mother. Her hair was just as dark as his own though she had it pulled back in a tight bun, her eyes a few shades lighter than his own dark brown. They shared the same tanned complexion, she wasn't wearing any make-up and he never could recall her doing so. Dressed in dark flowery dress that he never recalled her wearing before and thus had to be new.

 

Flashing his mother a smile Kario glanced towards Devon, "Mom this is my boyfriend, Devon." He said introducing the two of them and watching as her sparkling eyes moved from him to the man that was her own age. If that bothered her at all it didn't remotely show on her face. She warmly greeted her son's boyfriend, "It's so nice to meet you, Devon. Why don't you boys come inside." At this point she stepped aside taking her son's hand to pull him into the house while ushering Devon in as well she even waited patiently for Michalski to enter though he had yet to be introduced and Kario himself had absolutely no interest in doing so. "Your father is out back sweety, why don't you go get him while I get Devon settled in the living room." Kario nodded and made his way expertly to the back of the house to enter the backyard while she turned her attention to her son's boyfriend once more.

 

"Right this way, dear." She smiled warmly motioning towards the living room before leading the way into it and telling him to make himself comfortable. She remained standing for a moment, "Would you like something to drink? Tea? Coffee? Water?" She asked not wanting a guest in the house to go thirsty. "I hope my baby has been well behaved, he always was the more rebellious and a bit of trouble than his siblings growing up. But... maybe he's aged out of it." She said tapping her chin as she thought about it. Considering how long it had been since she had last seen her son, she assumed that it was actually very possible for him to have grown out of his rebelliousness.

 

A moment later Kario returned with his father, the man was already in his forties, being forty-two, three years older than his mother. The man's black hair was already flecked with grey, taller than both his wife and son he was practically the same height as Devon himself. The older man's skin like his wife's was tanned though it was darker than his son's own. His brown eyes just as dark making it clear it was definitely a family thing, he had a trimmed beard that was pretty much all grey. Kario remembered when his father started to go grey, at about the time his sister had started dating. The older man joking claiming that it was his sister's fault for making him grey early. He was wearing an old white tank top though it was nowhere near as white as it had been when it had first been bought, and a pair of worn jeans, both were stained in certain spots by oil as he had been working on a project in the backyard when his son had gone to get him. He was laughing as they entered the room, wiping his hands on a rag. Kario having just finished speaking, the two of them already focused on old times between the two of them and good memories. Upon entering the living room he became silent, his dark eyes landing on the man that was dating his son.

 

"You must be Devon Ashfield." He said upon entering his eyes taking in the man who claimed to love his son. As a father he had doubts that it was true, feeling more like the man was just interested in the fact that his son was young and to him still naive. "I'm Kian Teschu, and I am sure you've already met my wife Enid." He introduced himself offering his hand to the man who he noticed was dressed rather expensively. It made him question even more what the man wanted from his son, but he'd be taking this one step at a time. Strangely enough, to Kario at least both of his parents seemed either okay with the presence of the bodyguard or refused to address the fact that there even was one. Once the two men had been introduced Kario was clearing his voice was motioning for everyone to sit down and get comfortable. The nerves that had vanished upon the hug from his mother was returning now that they were all face to face. His father was looking them both over since Kario had settled on the couch and pulled Devon down beside him. His hand slipping into his lover's and his nerves growing worse with each second that passed in silence.

 

"So boys, how long have you two been together?" Kain asked, his dark eyes going from his son to his governor. This was... odd for him to say the least. As a father he wanted nothing more than his son to be happy, but he still had a hard time accepting this match. Not because he thought it was completely impossible for a man like Devon to truly love his son, but because it was so unlikely. Where the hell would the two even meet? More than that though, he wanted to know what had happened to his son, and why no one had been able to find anything on him in five years. At that thought his gaze turned from hard and searching to gentle and worrisome. "Kario, where have you been all these years? We looked for you, we reported it missing and it seemed like you literally just vanished."

 

At the question Kario glanced down at his lap, he had no idea what to tell his parents. They had discussed what they would say when asked about how they had met, but not what they would do or say when asked where he had been for five years. How he had just vanished from the face of the earth without their police force even being able to find him. Glancing towards Devon he sighed before looking back towards his father, "It's a really long and complicated story. Honestly... I really don't want to discuss it, just know that I'm okay now. I'm alive and well, extremely happy." At that part he looked back to his lover and gave him a large smile. "Where I was, what happened. That's not important anymore." He added as an after thought hoping to end it there. His mother seemed to accept that answer as she turned the attention to Devon himself, "I'm glad that you could make it, Kian and I know you're a busy person and meeting us probably isn't the most important thing for you to do. It means a lot all the same. We definitely needed to make sure our little boy is safe." Kario felt himself blushing at that. "I'm not a little boy anymore!" He complained glaring at the floor. "You'll always be my baby, Kario. You're always my little boy." This made Kario groan in embarrassment. It was such a mom thing to say.

[-Hideki-]

There was a surprised and questioning look on his face when Kario asked him who the man had been who had openly hit on him today since Ashfield had already told him about Mahler’s invitation to go out with him. “The police Commander! There wasn’t another guy who hit on me today, only him. He was even bolder than I had been when I had been hitting on other guys though. And you’re right he indeed said that he had liked me for a long time now but had never acted on it solely because he had deemed me straight.” The blond answered. “I also deemed him a dominant straight man though. I wouldn’t have thought he was gay much less a bottom, although he still seems to be pretty dominant regardless…” the blond told his lover with a small laugh.

After he had said that it would be a bad sign if no man wanted to have sex with him anymore and that he would hate that to happen to him his boyfriend reassured him that he didn’t have to worry about that because he’d always want to sleep with him. It made Devon grin and his eyes flash up and he pressed a kiss to the young man’s lips. “That sure is a good feeling.” He said then when the kiss had been broken.

 

Devon saw the cheeks of his cute lover flush again when he told him that he wanted to find the right path for himself now the first time he tried and it made the billionaire smile encouragingly. “Then we have to make sure that you will know the right way for you and that you find the one thing that you’d love to do the most! Hence, it would be good to be able to look into different fields for two days or a week and see for yourself how your work life would be in the end if you followed that path. So whatever you want to look into, just tell me and I can make you appointments to look into it.” He told the black haired, reaching out, caressing his cheek before playing with a strand of his pitch black hair that he found had an impressive colour.

 

The amusement Ashfield’s attraction to men in uniform caused his boyfriend was clear to see and it only made the governors face go from rosy to red but more so due to his mind that speculated about what kind of jokes the other man was telling himself about him on his mind now. Having that stupid caricature in mind that he wasn’t so sure Kario knew about or not. If not it was only a matter of time when he would see it and would hear that the people thought he had his head inside of the police’s arse whilst raging about and ridiculing his law and order approach to make their state safer again about which Kario knew as well because he had told him his views. Hence he didn’t want to know what they would start to say or do if they figured he was into uniforms on top of that.

 

Just when he saw the dirty smirk replacing the amusement the red tone on his cheeks decreased again because it appeared that his lover didn’t make fun of him but actually could see some appeal about it. So he looked at the other a little curious whilst seeing the dirty grin and the gaze full of desire and the curious look was overtaken by surprise when the black haired said ‘If I did become a police officer’ sounding as if he genuinely considered it. That he had not thought. Especially not after the disastrous conversation they had had about their political views including their views on the police force. He had not expected the other to be willing to join said police force.

It was a pleasant surprise though and it was getting even more pleasant when the other apparently seemed to have the same fantasy on his mind painting the picture of his lover being a policeman and paying a visit to his office even clearer and Ashfield was indulging in that fantasy his mind not stopping there, getting much dirtier and detailed like his brain was showing him a porn movie starring him and his lover and he felt how blood was shooting down and he got aroused, groaning into Kario’s ear. “Fuck, I’d love that! You checking on me in my office like that and making me fuck you is definitely hot. We’d get that uniform all sweaty and dirty.” He heatedly breathed into his young lover’s ear his dick starting to get hard in his pants and he forced himself to think about something else. But even the idea of the other dressing up like that for Halloween was pleasant to him.

 

Finally he could pull his mind away from the smut again, the heat decreasing and his mind getting clearer when his lover told him that he unfortunately could only wear military uniforms as a Halloween costume for him as he didn’t think that he was made for their Army. “Being in the Army would require you to spend too much time away from me and be dangerous on top of that so I wouldn’t be too thrilled about that anyway.” The blond told him with a smile. “Dressing up for Halloween or privately in the bedroom would be much more than I would ever ask already.” The politician let the other know and it was the truth. Ashfield wouldn’t have ever seriously asked him to dress up like this for him in the bedroom nor for Halloween much less to join the Army. So if he ever did wear such a costume, even if only once he’d just appreciate it greatly and enjoy it.

 

When he had told his lover that he would look good in everything and that he was just an extraordinarily handsome and attractive man he saw the black haired male’s face flush red and he smiled hearing the young man say that he was full of flattery that day. “If you want to call this flattery.” The governor stated. “I call it the truth. You are much more handsome than most people are and I am sure you know how easily you attract people.” The blond said because it really was true. The young man looked like art, he looked flawless and that was something that not many people did and his stunning appearance had probably also been the reason as to why those arseholes from the brothel had approached him in the first place, because they had known that their premium clients, including Ashfield, would be instantly attracted to the young man. Devon knew that he himself was good looking and was considered so but Kario was still in a league above good looking.

 

It eased him more when his lover’s hand was running through his hair as soon as he had let his head sink onto the black haired male’s shoulder. Devon was glad that Kario instantly kissed him when he had asked to be kissed and touched by the other in a needy way that had embarrassed him a little too. The governor let himself be floated away by the kiss, indulged in it and let his young boyfriend take the lead for a change wanting to feel and to be shown what the other had just said. That he’d always love him and find him attractive enough to want to be with him regardless of time leaving its marks on him. The blond relaxed the more he was touched by the other man.

 

 

 

While they were standing under the shower together Kario teased him, asking him if he was able to control himself because he had seemed to not be able to even without the other being in the shower. So the man had noticed that he had been lusty having remembered and visualised the sex they had had in the middle of the night. “I was just caught in my thoughts.” The blond said and then a smirk appeared around his lips. “I was remembering the sounds and faces you made when I took you this night and remembered how hard you came and how much you ejaculated.” He teased his young lover back in a lusty, seductive tone grinning cockily.

 

He laughed when his boyfriend dared to not test him as Ashfield would be surprised what he’d be willing to do to share more time with him. Hearing that actually made him happy and feel fuzzy inside more so than it teased him. “Bring it then, as I certainly wouldn’t mind to have your company in the shower before I leave for work.” The governor said challengingly, winking at his lover.

 

The politician nodded when the other said that he hoped that he would not get called to the office. “I sincerely hope so too.” the man agreed. “If I am called to the office and it can’t wait till Monday nor clarified over the phone it’s usually pretty bad.” He informed the other man and with the campaign going, his brothel scandal still all over the local news and election day nearing Devon certainly didn’t want an emergency or something drastic to happen, even though it had the potential to be good promotion if he managed it well, things like those also always meant controversy.

 

Ashfield almost forgot to pay attention to the streets when he looked at Kario who just told him that he had no idea what kind of car they had had what made him look at the other rather surprised. The surprise didn’t really vanish when he was explained that Kario wasn’t into cars and due to lacking interest had no idea about any types of cars. It made Devon look at him questioningly because he had just assumed that every guy liked cars to a degree. “Well, I just thought you’d like them. Didn’t you play with toy cars and looked what type they were built after when you were little? ” The blond said a little bummed that his boyfriend probably had no interest in his cars either and he probably couldn’t appreciate the cars he had and his luxurious car was for the other like any other vehicle. “Don’t you like them a bit maybe…?” he thought he could at least try again.

 

 

 

 

He was truly sorry and feeling bad for how his father had once more acted towards the other and it had made it even worse to see how scared the young man had gotten upon being confronted with his father and having the old businessman talking to him in such a manner. This all shouldn’t be like this. The man he loved shouldn’t have to be terrified of his father. It was all too understandable that the young man was though considering not only how he had acted towards him but also what Mei had told him about his father – she had not lied about any of that after all – or how his old man was already acting towards his own son. Devon knew that his father was someone many people feared but he still wished that it would be possible to one day take Kario to a family dinner or something like that knowing that his boyfriend could feel comfortable. Apparently his father was begrudging him this too though.

 

Hearing the young man sigh after his apology and seeing him turn his gaze to the window away from him made his heart cramp and he got tense again thinking the young man was too angry now to accept Devon’s apology. He was getting nervous and was trying to find something to say, when his boyfriend opened his mouth and finally spoke. Surprise and relieve was flooding him at the same time and he looked at Kario with a serious expression. “Yes, I know.” The man stated. “Not only did you tell me my money didn’t interest you and you’d love me even if I lost it all, you also from the start weren’t impressed by my status or money. I actually thought that I wouldn’t be able to impress you and win you over at all with anything because you reacted so indifferent towards all the things people usually admire me for and are impressed by.” The billionaire let him know with a smile. “So don’t worry that I would believe this.” The blond tried to assure him. “Although I have to admit that being told the mere idea, the mere thought alone is hurtful every time. It was when Mahler said it and even worse things than my father did and it was now too.” The governor confessed. Then he sighed and ran his hand over his face when his lover offered to sign a prenup. “Let’s not bother with this now. If we got married you’d have to sign something anyway, my lawyers and my father would run rampage otherwise. Mei had to sign it too but we never spoke about it ever again until we got divorced that is. If in a relationship, even a fake one, this is unpleasant and to have someone you actually love and trust sign something to protect your wealth from them in case something changes feels even worse. My dad had my mum sign one too though and they are still married. Although she wrote on it ‘Screw you I am not depended on you or your stupid money Andrew’. I’ve seen it, she really did.” The blond said, smiling, finding that even though he didn’t quite get it there was still something about the relationship his mother and father had.

 

When he kissed the young man after he had also picked up the gift for the man’s father his lover finally seemed happy and he smiled at him again for the first time after they had entered the headquarters of the corporation and it made him hope that Kario too would shove all what had happened in there aside and would enjoy the rest of the day together with him at his parents place. As soon as the other man gave him the address that was in a district of the city he had never gone to personally he typed it into the Lamborghinis navigation system. His navigation system other than most navigation systems spoke with a male computer voice because the blond liked to be spoken to by a male better whilst the general population liked their guide systems to sound female more.

 

He was following the directions given by the system and the further he got on the route the more the city changed and not for the better, in fact it got worse, much worse. He saw sprayed buildings, broken windows, trash in front of doors, the streets were bumpy and everything looked dirtier and run down. So did the people some of them made the word ‘thug’ and ‘dangerous’ pop up on his mind and he felt like he was driving through something that looked like how he imagined placed in third world nations. Not that Devon had ever been in a third world nation and he wasn’t intending to go there either. The area was giving him the creeps and everything just seemed so ugly and run down to him and driving through some streets he asked himself how people could even live in that. The blond felt bad for thinking poorly of this, for feeling that the terminology his father had used for the district wasn’t far off, he felt bad for it giving him the creeps, bad for wanting to lock the door of his car from within whenever he saw some people who looked suspicious to him, for not wanting to park his car in the district at all because he was scared for parts or the whole care getting stolen because Kario called that his home, he had grown up in that place, his parents still lived there and he thought if the man he loved was from that place he shouldn’t think this poorly of it but he couldn’t help how seeing this made him feel.

 

Devon was working hard to not let anything of the conflicting feelings he had show on his face so he had put on a smile that immediately died when they had to stop at red traffic and he could see a gang of what he called thugs who the governor would have bet his arse on were all criminal and should definitely be locked away behind bars forever because they weren’t safe around his citizens. There was uncomfortiblity and fear clear to see on his face. And he wanted to just drive at red traffic and lock the doors especially when his eyes met with one of those thugs. He didn’t have to because Michalski was leaning forwards locking the doors of the Lamborghini, sitting back again and Devon could hear the bodyguard load and unlock his gun just in case and he was suddenly glad to have the man there.

 

 

He sure was glad when the traffic light turned green and he was going way too fast and would have definitely gotten a speeding ticket had any policeman been around. Relieve hit him when his navigation system finally informed him that they had reached the destination after a while and he parked between what apparently was Kario’s family’s home. He leaned his body and head back for a moment sighing relieved and at the same time he heard his lover sigh as well, making him turn his head towards him. The man who had seemed totally calm and unimpressed during the hell drive through that district was now getting nervous and Devon knew why. He took the other’s hand, his own still sweaty from when his body had gotten itself ready to fight or flee at the faces of those criminals.

 

When his boyfriend told him that he was not sure that he was ready for this he squeezed the young man’s hand encouragingly. “You are!” he said with a warm smile, pressing his lips onto the black haired male’s cheek before getting out of the car, walking around holding the door open for Kario to get out as well. His lover was glancing towards him and telling him that the house looked just like back then and that nothing had changed around it what made Ashfield pay attention to the house for the first time. The house looked as if it were to collapse every minute to him or as if it only took a light wind and the thing would be flying around in the air. Nothing there looked well taken care of either and it looked like a gardener was definitely needed as well as a new street too. Then again it was by far not the worst they had seen driving through the district so it could have been much more awful. Still he thought that if the place had changed that would have been a massive improvement. He didn’t say that though as he didn’t want to hurt the young man whose childhood memories were connected to the place. “Nostalgia?” he just asked instead, a small smile on his face.

 

A questioning look appeared when the black haired turned to Michalski who stared back without blinking then before he was asked whether the bodyguard would behave understanding that the other was worried about the bodyguard’s presence having any negative effect on their visit. “Don’t worry sweetie. He will. He is a pretty decent guy if he is not staring at you creepily. I definitely do like him better than Smith and he is much more professional too.” The blond assured him and even though Michalski was trying to keep expressionless the bodyguard smirked at hearing that wanting to rub that into Smith’s face all too badly. “It’s also not like he will sit at the table with us. He will stay at the front door and will look out of some window to take care that no one suspicious comes close to the house and that when we want to get back home, we’ll still have a complete car which we can drive home with. So we won’t even notice him.” The governor informed the other, understanding that he had not much experience with bodyguards around him what made the situation rather odd for him probably.

 

Being led towards the house and informed that they shall avoid the stairs he was realising how his nervousness was showing now that he was not frightened for his life anymore as during the drive through that district. It surely wasn’t as strong as his lover’s nervousness but he certainly was nervous at the prospect of meeting his lover’s parents for the first time and he clung onto the gifts he held in his hands rather closely worrying if he had sweat too much in his father’s office and on the drive here and stupid little things like that.

 

While they were standing there waiting for the door to be opened he was getting more and more nervous with every minute that passed imagining that they’d not like him anyway after all and would just see an old pervert in him who was exploiting their son and that idea of being seen in such a light by the man’s parents made him want to turn again, get into the car and disappear into his world again and send a limousine later to catch Kario up to bring him back to the mansion if he even still wanted to after having seen and talked to his parents. When the door opened though nothing was thrown at his head and he also wasn’t looking into the barrel of a shotgun being told to leave his dirty hands off of their son.

 

Instead a woman opened normally and Devon only had enough time to get a glance at her and to figure that her features were really similar to Kario’s and that the two definitely looked like mother and son before the woman threw herself onto his boyfriend, hugging him so tightly that the young man apparently had trouble breathing. Seeing the emotional and happy reunion of the two made the blond smile happily, the nervousness gone completely in that moment as were the horror-sceneries his mind had tortured him with. She seemed too glad and overwhelmed at having her son back that Ashfield didn’t seem to bother her in the slightest. It was a rather touching scenery and the governor thought that he’d even seen a reaction on Michalski’s face.

 

After they had greeted each other Kario was referring to him introducing him to the woman and some of the nervousness came back when he smiled into the woman’s face who fortunately seemed to stay positive, not even minding his age and he was greeted warmly by the woman. Shaking her hand he eased more. “The pleasure is mine Misses Teschu! I’m really glad to get the chance to meet the mother of my wonderful boyfriend.” He said before handing her the present. “And that’s for you the blond man said. When told to come in he nodded expressing that he’d like to and that he was thankful that she let him be a guest in her house. Although it was a little odd to be referred to as a boy since this had not happened to him anymore for decades but he didn’t mind. He was just glad that he was welcomed that kindly by her. Michalski who was thirty-five, hence somewhat younger than the governor, however looked at Devon when he had heard the ‘boys’, staring at him unbelieving, asking himself whether the woman was blind and didn’t see that Ashfield was as old as she was.

 

In no time and what seemed hastily and hectically the black haired was pulled inside, Devon gesticulated to follow and Michalski let in too. The bodyguard didn’t enter the house much though, he came to a halt at the entrance and was standing next to the door as discretely as possible not following along anymore.

 

At the mentioning of Kario’s father the tension was popping back up for a moment before the blond man got the black haired woman’s attention. “Thank you!” he said, bowing his head ever so slightly when she was leading him into the living room. The governor was smiling charmingly although the situation within itself was naturally awkward and when asked whether he would like something to drink he nodded at the mentioning of coffee. “A coffee would be terrific.” The politician said looking around in the room discretely to gain some orientation in the strange house he had never been in before.

 

Kario’s lady mother got all his attention back when she expressed that she hoped that her son had behaved. The governor smiled warmly at her, his eyes shining thinking and talking about the young man he had fallen for. “I can assure you that your son’s behaviour was absolutely perfect. He is the best; the most wonderful and kind man and you did an excellent job raising him Ma’am.” He told her, giving a complement to her too. The two of them didn’t have more time to get warm with each other as he heard his boyfriend’s voice and the deeper voice of an older man his own age who was Kario’s father though.

 

What had sounded like happy chattering stopped abruptly when his lover’s father stepped into the living room and the grey haired man got to lay his dark eyes on Ashfield and the whole atmosphere changed as the man examined the politician before finally addressing him and saying something. “That is correct Sir.” He said when the other said that he must be Devon Ashfield. Devon took the hand offered to him immediately with a firm handshake looking into the dark eyes. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Mister Teschu after I have already had the privilege of meeting your lovely wife.” He spoke his tone friendly and diplomatic although the man’s gaze didn’t make him feel exactly welcome as his wife had made him feel and he could only hope that he had managed to pronounce their last name correctly even though Kario had found it cute how the governor had said it with his dialect shining through heavily but he doubted that his parents would find it flattering if he mispronounced their name. He quickly addressed the gift giving it to the other’s father hoping that would distract from a mistake he might have made with the pronunciation.

 

It wasn’t the most comfortable feeling in the world to be monitored like that so he was glad when his boyfriend was speaking saying that they should all sit down on the sofa. The blond couldn’t really take this into action because his lover already pulled him down on the sofa next to him slipping his hand into his. A warm smile appeared on his face when he intertwined his fingers with Kario’s, holding his hand, placing their intertwined hands onto his thigh. Sitting down had not changed the atmosphere again though and they were still critically observed by the black haired male’s father who seemed all too sceptical about the two of them being together and not at all pleased with it too. The silence was starting to make him go tense again, the stares not helping either and although he had not thought that he could get any whiter than he normally already was Devon’s face went into ghost mode even the rosy colour that was usually shining through his skin somewhat disappearing what created an even larger contrast to Kario’s family who seemed to all be tanned than the governor’s normal paleness already did.

 

After what had felt like a bloody eternity the young man’s father spoke asking them how long they had been together, oddly enough even he addressed him as a boy what he had expected the other’s mother to do as Kario had told him but not the other’s father. Thinking for a moment they knew each other for roughly a month one could say, so he decided to stretch that a little. “A few months.” He answered, his golden eyes wandering to his boyfriend, hoping the man was alright with the answer.

 

His eyes stayed on Kario when the next question was asked and he was wondering what the black haired would tell his father now or if the young man had been prepared for that question. It seemed not when he heard the other say that he didn’t want to talk about it, that it didn’t matter and that all that mattered was that he was happy now. Somehow Ashfield thought that by this answer they’d definitely knew now that what had been claimed all over the media was true and he also wondered whether they would take that for an answer – his father definitely wouldn’t but his father was not normal after all - but this was on Kario and if he had deemed that the best method than that was the best method for him. When his boyfriend had said that he was alive and extremely happy, looking at the governor as the source of said happiness his heart jumped and fluttered and he beamed at his lover with eyes that showed how he adored him, squeezing Kario’s hand to encourage him in that rather awkward situation.

 

It seemed like the black haired male’s mother accepted the answer of her son in regards to his whereabouts during the last five years and turned back to Devon again. The governor looked at her with a kind expression on his face. “It’s an honour to be your guest and please know that getting to know the two people who raised my beloved boyfriend is definitely important to me.” The man said, paused and then continued. “And be assured that I will always keep him safe.” The blond promised looking at Kario like only someone who had a major crush and was in love would do and he leaned over giving him a quick kiss on the cheek following his whim, making the mistake to not think about how his parents would react to seeing that and his eyes slightly checked the two’s expressions for any sign of being displeased or finding a man their age or a man in general being affectionate with their son unbearable.

 

This got overplayed by Kario’s embarrassment at what his mother had said to him and when Ashfield looked at him the man had already blushed. The governor was amused, grinning in amusement as he saw that interaction between his lover and the man’s mother, actually enjoying this because he remembered the black haired having found it hilarious how his own mother had reprimanded him and talked to a middle aged man as if he was still in high-school. It was something that was typical for all mother’s to do, even one that wasn’t really motherly like his own mother, and they would continue to talk to and about them like that no matter how old they got and Devon couldn’t stop himself from laughing when Kario groaned in embarrassment about this.

 

Having gotten to relax a little more now he turned to Kario’s father who had sat there in silence since his last question what wasn’t the best sign so he tried to make some conversation with him hoping that it would work. “Are you a mechanic?” he asked nodding at the oil stained clothing. “Is this your profession or a hobby or both?” he asked further, showing interest in the man.

After he had paid attention to the man of the house he turned to the woman again. “Your home is really neat and nicely decorated and you certainly have good taste.” The governor said being glad that he had some practice with such situations from his diplomatic meetings and having been the guest at different cities, states and even nations or else he would have felt even more nervous than he already had been feeling.

[Sathenus]

Nodding he thought about that, Devon had already told him that the police commander had hit on him today. He was glad to find out he was the only man to do so, at least so far there were bound to be other men to do so or at least he felt like there would be. He was a little surprised when Devon told him that the police commander was still pretty dominant for a bottom which made him laugh. "Just goes to show that any type of guy can be a bottom." Kario mused with a smile. "At least I know you won't lie to me if someone does hit on you, it's not like it is something that needs to be hidden after all. I know you're an attractive man who probably has a lot of guys who are hopeful now that they know you're gay." He commented with a smile.

 

Kario smiled when Devon told him that they would just have to make sure that he knew the right path for him then. It made him happy to know that the man he loved would help him make sure that the choice he made was the right choice from the start. Especially since he really didn't want to start down a path just to discover that it was the wrong path later and have to change it. Being told that he should tell Devon what he wants to look into so the older man would make appointments for him to look into it made him give the other man a truly curious look. He hadn't really thought about looking into the different fields he would be considering other than maybe reading up on them and reading things from the people who had made that particular field their career.

 

His boyfriend groaning into his ear didn't remotely help him since he was already getting aroused just by the thought alone. Hearing Devon speak and telling him that he'd love that, made him even more intent on doing something like that. It was an extremely hot thought, and the more he thought about it the more he actually wanted to make it happen. "With a lovely picture like that planted in my head I might just have to do it regardless." He murmured softly. Even if he came to the conclusion that such a career wasn't the right way to go, he would still at least once have to dress up as a policeman just to have that little fantasy come to life. It'd be a shame if it never did and only lived in his subconscious after all. Especially since they both seemed to like the idea so much.

 

"Hmm... in the bedroom..." He mused his mind roving off in that direction. It hadn't occurred to him to dress up in such costumes for his lover outside of Halloween. But... why not? Especially if it was something that Devon was into and seemed to actually get them both hot and bothered. There really was no reason not to do something like that, and the more he thought about it the more he was already planning out doing such things for him. It didn't even matter to him that Devon said that dressing up for him like that for Halloween or in the bedroom was much more than he would have ever asked of him. Giving the older man an encouraging smile he spoke, "You know, you really could ask such things of me. If there is something that really turns you on, or a fantasy you have there isn't any reason you couldn't or shouldn't ask me if I'll do it for you." There really wasn't any reason for Devon not to ask such things of him if there was something that aroused him, or if there was a fantasy that he couldn't seem to shake. It wasn't like he'd ever laugh at the man, these were things he wanted to know of his lover.

 

"I've certainly been aware." Kario admitted with a nod. There was no denying that he was used to men being attracted to him, he had learned of that in his early teens. It wasn't something that they hid very well, and it had been something that he had found odd an troublesome as a teen. Most guys would like that people were attracted to them, and Kario did like the idea that there were other men who wanted him. But the look that most of them gave him even at in his early teens told him it was his body they wanted and not him. "But even when I was a young teen other's attraction for me seemed to be more for my body and less of me as a person." Kario admitted with a small shrug not really caring.

 

Kario made sure to deepen the kiss, aware that Devon wasn't taking control of it this time and allowing him to lead. It allowed him to express the love that he felt for his boyfriend through the kiss, and the love that he wanted Devon to know he would always have for him. When he finally broke it his eyes landed on the other's golden gaze and he gave him a warm loving smile. "I love you, so much. I'll always love you." He whispered over the blonde's lips before giving him yet another soft kiss.

 

 

There was no stopping his cheeks from flushing lightly again making him groan inwardly, the governor always seemed to know what to say and do to make his cheeks flush in embarrassment. The lusty and seductive tone that his boyfriend used only made his body heat up. The memory of what they had gotten up to in the middle of the night didn't help as it played out in his mind once more. But he couldn't help but tease the governor yet again. "Hmm, you must have really enjoyed the reactions you get from me if the memory alone was enough to make such a lusty look cross your face."

 

A smirk crossed his face at the challenging response he got from the older man. "Challenge accepted. I'll be sure to drag my tired butt out of bed when you get up in the morning to shower with you. If for no other reason than to have your attention before you leave for work." He replied, his tone making it clear that it was a promise. Worse come to worse he could get in a small cat nap before Devon got home if getting up so early ended up posing a problem. Kario was sure at first it would be murder, but after awhile his body was sure to get used to the routine and he would be just fine.

 

"Honestly? No, I didn't." Kario admitted with a shrug. He hadn't played with toy cars as a kid, and he had no interest in such things. There was no missing the surprise that Devon had shown at the news that he wasn't interested in cars, and it made him wonder if there had been no other guys that the governor knew who weren't into cars. "A little..." He answered with a small shrug knowing that Devon was trying, clearly this was something his boyfriend was truly interested in and seemed important if he was trying to see if he liked them even just a little bit. The last thing he wanted to do was disappoint the blonde, but at the same time he really wasn't that into cars. He had a teeny tiny interest that didn't go very far at all, and he knew that wasn't really what his boyfriend wanted to hear.

 

 

 

There was a sense of relief that struck him hearing Devon tell him that he knew that he wasn't with him for his money. That was important to Kario, he wanted the governor to be sure that he wasn't with him for something as trivial as money, he had already lived a hard life. He had no problem continuing to live a hard life if it was beside the man he loved. Kario didn't want the man's money, and had no problem whatsoever in refusing any aide in the form of his lover's money that was offered if it meant that no one could claim that was why he was with the older man. What hurt him though and made him look at his lap was to hear that the police commander too had accused him of being with Devon for that reason, and to hear that the man had said even worse things about him made his heart ache even more. Kario couldn't understand why people seemed to be so against him, and seemed to think he was such a bad person. For some reason he wasn't surprised to hear that the police commander himself had bad things to say about him, despite not knowing him. "What does he think of me?" He asked, though he was sure his voice gave away some of the pain he felt that there was yet another person who seemed to have something against him. His eyes moved back to the view outside the window, "And please don't lie about it. You don't have to hide it from me." The last thing Kario wanted was for Devon to hide what others were saying about him just to protect him. If Kario had any chance of changing people's minds about him, he had to know what they were saying. "He thinks I'm like other people from my neighborhood doesn't he? That I'm just another thug..." Saying that word hurt, and he was sure that Devon knew that after the conversation they had shared the day before and the hurt feelings that had occurred. It was just another stereotype, and he hated that it was being aimed towards him. But he was also used to it from when he was younger, so if it turned out to be true that the man had expressed such a thing he wasn't surprised.

 

"I just don't want anyone to have a reason to suspect me of being with you just for your money. I don't care what I have to sign to prove that." Kario admitted with a small shrug. He understood that now wasn't the time to discuss it, because as of right now they were just dating and nothing more was guaranteed. That didn't mean that he wasn't willing to sign one, to prove that he didn't want Devon's money. Kario truly had a hard time understanding why people didn't believe that he didn't want the man's money, or why they all seemed to think that money was so important that he'd be with someone just for that reason. Granted he knew he had sold himself for money, but that was his past. He had fallen for the governor while working in a brothel, if he was really after someone because of their money he probably would have tried to seduce one of his clients years ago.

 

It was hard for him to ignore the feelings that were radiating from his lover as they drove further and further into the area he had grown up. His gaze moved towards the man again when they had to stop at a red light and he noticed how uneasy the man seemed to be making him worried for his boyfriend. He didn't want Devon to be this stressed out, to be this uncomfortable and uneasy. It didn't help that such a group as Kario had previously tried to defend were standing on the street corner and he could already see how that affected his boyfriend. The reaction of Michalski made him sigh as his eyes stayed on the buildings outside his window as they waited for the light to turn green. There was no point in him saying anything because he knew that the man was looking after the safety of his boyfriend. Even if Kario himself felt like the gun wasn't remotely necessary, there wasn't any reason to try to argue against it so he found it best to ignore that one was even present.

 

Glancing down at their hand once they were parked outside of the house he had grown up in, he glanced towards the older man and gave him a small smile. Kario was able to feel how sweaty Devon's hand was, clearly the man had become more nervous than he had originally thought. When his hand was squeezed encouragingly and he was told that he was ready he took in a shaky breath. Still quite nervous about this but knowing that it needed to be done, that they had to do this. Slipping out of the car when his boyfriend opened the car door for him he sighed and looked up at him, giving a small unsure smile. He noticed at his comment about the house looking exactly as he remembered it that Devon seemed to look at it for the first time, looking it over. "Very much so." He said with a nod, returning the smile he was given.

 

"Okay." He said turning his gaze from Michalski who he noticed smirk at the compliment that the governor liked him better and he was more professional than Smith. Clearly the other liked that, and he couldn't blame him. Being the better of the two was certainly a plus, and he had to admit he liked him better as well. Especially considering the fact that if the man did have rude things to say about him that he didn't do so, at least not to his face. "You are aware that my family's definition of someone suspicious and his are probably completely different, right?" Kario asked with a raised eyebrow. With a shrug though he lead the way up to the house, sparing his lover and the accompanying bodyguard a glance as the two came up onto the porch.

 

"This is absolutely goregous." Enid responded looking at the gift that was given to her, it was something she hadn't expected to receive. People bringing gifts to the house wasn't something she was used to, but she found it far to beautiful to try to object and thus she quite happily invited them inside. "You're to sweet." She said quite flattered as she lead them in, glancing towards the other man who had stopped right inside the front door and seemed to occupy himself there instead of making his way any further. "Should I get him something to drink as well? Or a chair? My other son is asleep upstairs so no one should be coming in..." She asked wondering if she should offer him something since he didn't seem intent to come any further into the house. Enid knew that her son's boyfriend was important enough that the other man was clearly there for his safety. That didn't mean she didn't want him too to be comfortable and feel welcomed in her home. Her dark eyes moved back to the governor after she had asked though, having set the gift she had recieved on an end table just within the living room so she could admire it every day.

 

"Oh, I'm glad to hear he's been a good young man! I did worry about his manners once in awhile." She exclaimed happily when she was told her son's behavior was absolutely perfect. The compliment that she had done an excellent job raising him made her give Devon a large smile, "I'm glad you think so. With that boy it was a bit touch and go for awhile. Though I can't say my other kids had been any better either. Maybe his sister... I always did say girls were easier to raise." She said in thought a little. "Of course!" She said when the governor accepted a coffee moving off to the kitchen to prepare a cup for her guest.

 

Kian on the other hand wasn't as impressed or easily flattered as his wife, though he did give the man credit for being capable of giving a proper handshake. What did distract him from the fact that the man who was dating his youngest son was his own age was the gift that was handed to him. "Ha! Good man! Never hurts to bring a good drink when visiting another man's home." He commented as he set it on the table beside his favorite chair moving to settle into it as his son settled on the couch pulling the governor down beside him. Kian had to admit that he was highly amused to see his boy behave in such a manner, he had always wondered when Kario would bring a man home to them. He had known for years that his son was gay, they all had. It was something they had all already accepted and come to terms with, even if his wife was still bummed at the thought of no grandchildren from him. Kian himself wasn't truly bothered by the aspect, since they already had one on the way from Kario's sister.

 

Still he observed the two with hard calculating eyes, his mind trying to figure out if he was really going to accept that Devon was with his son and that his child was with someone so much older. Did the age of his son's boyfriend really bother him though? In the end he knew the answer was no, what concerned him was whether or not his son was in an environment where he was treated kindly and not looked after. There was a small nod in response to being told that they had been together for a few months, his own gaze moving to Kario as well as if he was waiting for his son to object to that. Kario didn't though, instead he flashed a smile as his eyes met his father's, "It's honestly been a great few months, it's flown by."

 

It was after he had told his father that where he had been and how he had just vanished was something he really didn't want to discuss, that his mother returned with a tray and cups. She set it down on the table before handing one of the cups to Devon, the other she gave to Kario letting him know she had fixed him some tea and giving him a look stating clearly that she still felt he was to young for coffee. This made Kario roll his eyes, but there was no point arguing, that and he preferred tea over anything else without hesitation. So he wasn't about to complain about her choice anyway, taking a sip of the hot tea made him sigh happily. This was familiar, something he loved and he instantly felt at ease once more.

 

Kian seemed pleased to hear that the governor intended to keep his son safe, a small smile playing on his face clearly showing that it was a smart move on the blonde's part to say that. The way the politician looked at his son helped ease any feelings that he had that his son may be mistreated, or wasn't kept around out of actual mutual desire. Feeling more at ease he relaxed back against his chair more resting his ankle on his knee as he watched the two men. His attention was pulled from his thoughts when the man spoke asking him if he was a mechanic, and if it was his profession or hobby or even both. "Just when necessary, though I suppose it could be seen as a bit of a hobby. No point tinkering with something if you don't know what you are doing after all." He replied with a small shrug. He had never considered it really being a hobby of his, but like he had already said, if you didn't know what you were doing there was no point messing with things. The chances of getting hurt or royally messing something up were quite high. "What about you though? We all know what you do for work, but what are your hobbies. Other than my son." The last part was said with a bit of a smirk on his face. He wasn't shy about the fact that the man was into his son, and had clearly been inside his son. Though he noticed Kario who had been taking a drink had spit it out over the table at his little comment.

 

"Kario!" Enid said in a tone stating clearly that the young man better clean that up. "Sorry mom!" He apologized though he did get up to grab a hand towel from the kitchen to wipe off the table. At that point she flashed yet another smile at their guess, "That's so nice of you, it isn't anything special though I do pride myself on a neat home." That didn't translate to the yard of course, there was no saving it, at least in her own opinion and she had long since given up any hope in doing so. "We truly are happy to have you two visiting. I always did ask him if he was ever going to bring anyone home to us all throughout high school. He never showed an interest in anyone, it was a bit worrying for awhile." She commented with a thoughtful look.

 

"Mom!" Kario complained having walked in just at that point, his eyes were telling her clearly to shut up before she said something embarrassing about him. Moving back to the table he wiped it off before settling back on the couch beside his boyfriend. She of course just waved his complaint away as if it had never happened. Her gaze did move to her son though, "You're still so skinny! Don't you eat?" He remembered as a kid she would always complain despite how hard it was to keep food on the table for them that he in particular wasn't eating enough. Kario from a young age had little to no appetite, which was good for his siblings who tried to eat constantly when there was food in the house. Even now though, he still didn't have much of an appetite and actually found himself still eating very little. But his thin form didn't seem like it was a problem and he gave his boyfriend an curious look. "You don't think I'm to skinny do you?" Then again, Kario also knew that his mother knew that he was of a normal weight for his age and height.

[-Hideki-]

Ashfield nodded at that as it was true. There were many different kind of bottoms as there were tops. By far not every top was dominant and not every bottom submissive. The governor himself saw himself as none of that actually. He was neither extraordinarily dominant nor was he submissive. Thinking about Mahler’s approach and what he had said it was quite clear that he was a bottom and had an incredibly dominant almost authoritarian attitude what was certainly a plus for his career and had probably helped the man getting into the position he was in at only forty-five.

Kario got him out of his thoughts about the man he had worked with and cooperated with for four years now when he told him that he was glad that the politician did not lie to him about that and didn’t try to hide from him when something like that happened. “I see no reason for me to try to hide this because I have done nothing wrong and have a clear conscience.” The blond shrugged. He found it unnecessary to lie about this or to not tell him because he had not even thought about doing something with the man although he found him attractive what had already been like that before and what he couldn’t deny. Devon thought that if someone felt the need to hide that someone had hit on them or flirted with them from their partner that they did so because they had been tempted to give in to it or weren’t sure they wouldn’t in the future. “I hope that you won’t ever see a reason to hide something like this from me either because I can imagine that a lot more men will be interested in you and that more of those attracted to you will actually be active and hit on you directly.” The blond expressed because he knew that his lover would attract guys like light did moths.

 

Hearing his lover softly murmur that with this picture on his mind he would have to do that regardless of what career path he would go down didn’t help to stop the blood that was flowing into the wrong direction and the tingling in his pants and the blond man made a roaring noise while that naughty little fantasy was playing on on his mind, his lover being extremely lewd and bold in it and he felt how the fabric of his pants was strained as his cock grew and got hard and there was a clearly visible bulge to see now. Devon tried to ignore it and hoped that Kario wouldn’t see that he had gotten erect from only the fantasy on his mind so talking about that his lover thought he wasn’t Army material was a welcomed change of topics that managed to calm his boiling blood down.

 

There was a small shudder running through him when the other repeated ‘in the bedroom’ questioningly making it clear to the governor that his lover had not even thought about something dirty like that and he felt stupid and a little embarrassed for having said that. After the other was thinking a while and Devon had felt weird the other man was speaking again telling him that he really could ask things like that from him and that there wasn’t any reason that he shouldn’t ask him to play out his fantasies together. “Wouldn’t it have been incredibly embarrassing and silly though if I had approached you asking you to wear such a uniform for me to have sex in? Especially considering I’m the governor and people already draw unflattering caricatures about me concerning my relationship with the police force. I would have felt ridiculous and would have thought you’d laugh about it and mock me for this… Not to mention what I’d go through if the opposition ever found out.” he admitted that when it came to something specific like that he feared being made a mockery off. It had not always been like that but since he had entered politics – before he had even been the governor already – he had not felt in harmony with being turned on by this and he had thought he really shouldn’t be anymore and that this was highly uncalled for and non-serious but that didn’t change the fact that this still made his cock hard as rock.

 

He could feel the young man deepening the kiss and Ashfield was ready to get carried away by it, letting himself flow and sensing the love and the passion the other was putting into the kiss, demonstrating him how much he loved him and it made his heart beat fast in his chest and made him ease up and feel secure in what the other had told him only seconds ago. When their lips parted his breath was a little unsteady and he was drowning in the warmth of his lovers dark eyes like in a whirlpool, melting even more when told that he loved him and that he’d always do being kissed again before he could say a word and this time Devon pulled the other’s hips closer and took the soft kiss over, turning it into a passionate and intense one that left him breathless and his tongue yearning for getting back into the other’s mouth afterwards. “I love you too.” The man said, panting, pressing his lips onto the younger man’s neck.

 

 

Devon grinned cockily when the other tried to tease him again with the lusty expression he had made while being alone in the bathroom and thinking about their nightly activities. “I certainly do.” He just said the grin not disappearing. “I didn’t make a secret out of how much I love to see you in heat and pleasure and how hot I found it when you came that uncontrollably.” The blond man smirked. “It was quite the sight. A good idea for a fountain statue actually!” He groaned teasingly into the man’s ear, nibbling on his wet earlobe while the water was running over their bodies.

 

He raised an eyebrow smirking not less challengingly when the young man determinedly stated that he accepted the challenge and would drag his tired arse out of bed every morning to have his attention before Ashfield left for work. “I can’t wait to see you dragging your cute arse into the shower with me before the sun has even risen.” The blond man teased the other giving a pinch to the sexy arse of his young lover not believing that he would do this for longer than a few days and more than just occasionally.

 

Ashfield blinked his eyes looking at the younger man as if he was an alien when he learned the man didn’t play with toy cars as a little boy. Devon certainly had had a lot of toy cars and he had loved them. Even when he had been a toddler of three he had had toy cars and one specific BMW toy car he had dragged everywhere – granted he had also bitten onto it sometimes when he had gotten nervous as it oddly enough had calmed him down - until his mother had thrown the thing away because it had started to look used, old and ugly and her kid had gotten saliva on it what she had found disgusting, plus the kindergarten teacher had complained that he had played with it rather than paying attention to the Chinese and French lessons and when she had tried to take it from him the blond kid had bitten into her hand. She had bought a new one for him but three years old Devon had not liked it that much and had thrown it across the room screaming. She had then bought the same one again but the little boy had still been angry and not dragged it with him everywhere anymore.

 

“What have you played with then?” he asked. “Did you at least play with dinosaurs and lego or weren’t those cool when you were young anymore either?” the governor said in a joking manner as those had been things he had liked to play with when he had been little.

The blond laughed when his boyfriend found that he could agree on liking cars a little because it didn’t come across as really convincing and he just had to get used to the fact that he would not be able to share his enthusiasm about his cars or car conventions with his lover but had to stick to sharing that interest with his friends. The last four years he had gone to conventions with Jeff who was a sucker for all kind of technology and vehicles and before that he had often gone with both Sven and Jeff and sometimes he had had to endure the presence of Jeff’s husband Evan or Sven’s unpleasant younger brother Jens too. Well, he was certain that now he would have to endure the presence of Jeff’s husband every time he did something with his ex as friends because the man was jealous and saw a threat in him now that he knew Devon was gay. “I got it! I won’t be dragging you along to a car convention or to anything that has to do with my cars although I would have liked to share that with you.” The man laughed.

 

 

It was like a sting to his heart to hear the pained voice of Kario when he asked him what the police Commander was thinking about him and Devon wanted to brush it off and just say it was unimportant but before he could his boyfriend said that he shouldn’t lie or hide it from him. It made his heart cramp and he didn’t know how he could say this without hurting the black haired man whom he loved even more and before he knew the other had accurately guessed it already and hearing the other say the word ‘thug’ the word that he had vigorously refused and had called Ashfield out for and told him not to use it anymore because it hurt him was unpleasant because he knew that it must have hurt him to even say it then too and it showed him why the man didn’t want him to say it, because he had apparently gotten called ‘thug’ too. Devon hesitantly nodded his head. “He basically said that he was worried for me and wanted to protect me because he thinks that those selling their bodies are involved in crime without exception. The police commander also mentioned other cases in which men of a similar status have been clients before they had fallen for their, well, prostitutes and what awful and terrible things had happened to those men and it was heavy and hard to listen to I tell you that.” the blond man said shaking his head slightly. “I wouldn’t take this personally though. It’s what he has seen and knows from his job that has made him jump to those conclusions and he doesn’t know you after all. Maybe if he got to know you he’d change his mind since now he is just putting certain factors together, judging by those.” The governor explained hoping that it would hurt the other less if he tried to see it this way and dissect this in a way that would not make it an attack on his personality or him as an individual.

 

He turned his head to Kario for a second until he paid attention to the streets again. “You don’t have to prove anything to anyone though. You don’t owe my father nor police commander Mahler anything.” He made certain that the man knew that he was not obligated to prove himself to other people.

 

 

After they had arrived at the house and had left the car, when Devon had taken away the other’s fear that Michalski would misbehave at his parent’s home he saw his boyfriend raising an eyebrow while Michalski was still grinning and wishing Smith would have heard that as the reaction would probably have been hilarious. The blond asked himself what his lover was questioning and then he let him know that Kario’s family’s and Michalski’s definition of someone suspicious were probably completely different. He had not been aware or rather he had not given it any thought at all. “I can assure you that he is professionally trained. All of my father’s bodyguards have to have a high qualification in security questions and Michalski and even Smith have both attended enough seminaries about profiling, identifying threat, body language of criminals, criminology and crime psychology and all that jazz in addition to their practical references, so I am certain that he will be perfectly able to decide who is a threat and who is not. I also think that he has been in the military before. I’m not quite sure though and don’t ask me which Army it had been either.” The blond man tried to erase the worries the other man might have had about the bodyguard’s presence completely while Michalski looked rather impassive as if it wasn’t even him that they talked about.

 

“I’m glad that you like it.” The governor let her know when Kario’s mother expressed her gratitude for the gift and he could tell that she really liked what he had given to her and wasn’t just being polite. Because he was relieved and happy that she liked what he had given her and thought that he had so far left a decent impression he had not realised how the woman’s gaze had turned to Michalski who was standing by the door. When she asked whether she should give him a chair or something to drink he looked towards the bodyguard. Michalski had ashen coloured short hair, he was rather pale and had huge, round eyes that looked quite impressive in their frog-green colour if he wasn’t creepily staring at someone without blinking that was. He kept his eyes on the bodyguard who wasn’t looking back at him when he heard the young man’s mother say that Kario’s junkie brother was sleeping upstairs what didn’t make Devon happy to hear at all because he had hoped the man wouldn’t have been there.

 

However when he turned back to the young man’s mother his face was spotless and smiling at her politely and friendly. “That would be a lovely gesture but I doubt he’d sit down since he is observing the streets from there and is working. He also has a complete bottle of coke with him that he took from the bar in the lounge of my father’s office so I think he is fine.” The governor stated knowing that Michalski would smile at the lady if she gave him a chair but wouldn’t sit down on it and keep standing so it would be a waste of effort.

 

Devon smiled back at the woman who expressed her happiness about being told that her son had behaved excellently and that she had done a good job raising him. The blond couldn’t help but to laugh when she said that she had found that her daughter had been the least difficult to raise and that she had always said that girls were easier to raise in general. “My mother would definitely agree on that with you. She always wished for a girl and got me instead. And every time I misbehaved as a child she would say that this would not have happened with a girl because they are more agreeable and easier to raise!” the blond told her in an amused tone of voice.

 

It calmed his nerves a little to realise that even the man’s father reacted positively towards the gift and that it had even if only for a small moment distracted him from staring at Devon as if he was certain to find out that the governor was being mischievous and up to no good. He didn’t get much rest though since as soon as his arse had hit the sofa he was stared at even more intensely.

And it wasn’t a pleasant feeling to sense the mistrust the man had for him even in regards to answering a simple question as to how long they had been seeing each other. Ashfield was glad to hear Kario confirm this for him though and the smile displayed on his lover’s face when he told his father that the time he had spend with Devon had been great and that it had flown by since it seemed to be enough for the man’s father to drop the scepticism in regards to what the politician had stated.

 

It felt like a huge success to the governor when his young boyfriend’s father gave him a smile for the first time after he had promised to keep Kario safe. He had not expected that, not expected the other to smile in front of him that early on even though it was just a small smile.

After he had asked the black haired male’s father his question he learned that he only repaired things when it was necessary but that he thought that it might be a bit like a hobby since one had to know what one was doing when it came to mechanics and craftsmanship after all. Devon nodded. “That is true.” The billionaire agreed and he could speak out of experience. The man had no clue about mechanics and he had never learned to work with his hands at all since it had never been necessary because they had hired people for everything right away and no one in their family had ever attempted to get their hands dirty and repair it themselves. Hence, when he had been in the dorm room at university and had accidentally destroyed something he had been at a loss and had shouted for Sven because he had never learned what to do in such a situation and he had not wanted the university to get aware of the fact that he had destroyed something there. Sven, who was from the same societal class, had never repaired anything either but with his ‘no-worries’, carefree attitude he had said that they’d fix it real quick and when Ashfield had asked whether he had ever repaired something and knew what he was doing the other had said no but that they would surely figure it out. Well, they had not and the result had been massive damage and a flooded dorm room and everyone being mad at them.

 

“So what do you do for a living if I may aske?” he added another question then because the man didn’t work as a mechanic. Devon had not expected to be asked in return what his hobbies were though, he had not thought that the man would be interested. Much less had he expected the man to remark about Kario being one of his hobbies with a smirk on his face! He had not seen that coming at all. He had thought the other’s father would be really avoidant and uncomfortable of the topic and the mere idea that the blond man was into his son physically and that they slept with each other and Devon had gotten his cock anywhere near Kario. His eyes widened and he looked to the side abruptly when his boyfriend was spitting out his tea all over the table at his father making that comment, apparently shocked and embarrassed about his dad saying something like that to the politician.

 

He sorted himself again while Kario was being scolded and had to clean the mess he had just made up and turned back towards the young male’s father, his smile a little awkward due to the remark and the situation that had followed it. “Well, when I have the time I like to visit my hunting lodge in Alaska and go out hunting there. I’m also fascinated by everything concerning ancient Greece and Rome. Especially the art and architecture! I can say that I have quite the collection of such fine artwork and I am always inclined to make the amount of possessions increase. I’m also really interested in Greek and Roman philosophy, literature, social life and politics. One could actually say that politics in general are a hobby too and have long been a hobby of mine. I obviously wasn’t always the governor and I am originally a businessman, graduated in economics and financial management.” The governor told Kario’s parents. “Aside from that I also have an interest in cars and new technological advancements. I regularly attend and travel to car conventions and the like.” the billionaire said thinking that those were about all the real hobbies he had.

 

Listening to his lover’s mother who told him that she was glad that she had the two of them visiting, telling him about how she had always asked her son when he was going to bring someone home during high-school it wasn’t anything new to him really. His boyfriend and he had already talked about how they had been during their high-school years and Kario had told him that he had not had any interest in sex or relationships during this time. “He already told me that he had never had much of an interest in being with someone back then.” The blond said. “I’m just glad that I was able to interest him just as much as he interests me.” Devon said and it was true. It had made him happy when the young man had chosen to stay with him, to enter an actual relationship with him and had not left him behind with all the other stuff from his past.

 

It made him chuckle to hear the young man complain about his mother having told Devon that although he had known that the man hadn’t had an interest in having sex before he had ended up selling himself, it was rather cute and it was amusing how the man’s mother seemed to not care about his protest in the slightest.

At the next remark the young man got from his mother the governor had to give his best to not laugh but he couldn’t keep himself from smiling in amusement. The woman was apparently really concerned that her son didn’t eat enough complaining that he was too skinny and Ashfield’s mother had thought the same thing when she had met the black haired and he remembered how she had overloaded his plate with food having his lover facing a mountain of sea-food.

 

When Kario turned to him and curiously asked him whether the governor thought that he was too skinny he shook his head smiling, laying his arm around his lover’s waist pulling him a little closer onto his side. “No.” he clearly stated. “I find you perfect just the way you are.” The blond told him but then the amusement came creeping back onto his face. “My mother seemed to have the same concern though.” He said directed at all of the people in the room. “When she met him the first time she found that he definitely looked like he needed to eat something and so much so that she was building a tower of food on his plate that was unrealistic for anyone to eat all at once.” The blond reminded clearly seeing the ridiculously full plate of sea food before his minds eyes.

[Sathenus]

A small shrug was Kario's initial response to Devon telling him that he saw no reason to lie to him about it since he hadn't done anything wrong and had a clear conscious. "You'd be surprised how many men would keep it from their partners despite that." He replied after a short period of silence had spread between them. "Though even if you had been tempted I would still hope you'd tell me about it. Honesty is the best policy after all, we shouldn't hide things like that from each other." It was added after some thought, because he knew no matter how hard that might be to admit to your partner that it was still something that should be said. A relationship that wasn't built on trust and honesty wasn't much of a relationship to begin with.

 

"Of course I wouldn't, especially since you know that no matter how many men directly hit on me you're the one I come home to and the only one who has my attention." Kario replied flashing a large smile. There was no reason for him to hide such matters either, and he would be open and honest about any guy who may end up directly hitting on him. Though he figured that the chance of the happening while Devon wasn't around was pretty slim since he'd probably be spending most of his time with the older man. At least for a little while until he was comfortable enough and had gotten used to not being in the brothel anymore to do more things on his own. At that point he would still be honest with his boyfriend though, there wasn't any reason to lie. In the end, Kario felt like there really wasn't any reason to lie in general, it wouldn't help anyone by doing so.

 

Kario was drawn from his thoughts of dressing up in such uniforms for Devon no matter what when he something caught his attention and dragged him from his thoughts. His eyes landed on the bulge that was his lover's hard cock and he felt bad that it was caused, especially since he knew where Devon's mind was. Reaching out he rested his hand over it before he looked up at the older man. "Maybe I should... take care of this for you. It is after all kind of my fault for planting such a fantasy in your mind for this long." Kario said softly. After all, he had been the one that was interested enough in his lover's attraction to men in uniform that the conversation had even lasted this long. It didn't surprise him that Devon had ended up getting hard, but he had no problem helping him with it either.

 

"No. Is it supposed to?" Kario asked in response to his lover's question. In no way did he see Devon approaching him and asking him to wear such uniforms for him to have sex in as embarrassing and silly. "Devon... when have I ever laughed at your or mocked you for anything?" It was with a raised eyebrow that he had asked that. "If I ever did I'm sorry, and it was completely unintentional." He added after wanting to make sure that his lover knew that if he had -though he couldn't remember doing so- that he was sorry and it had been unintentional. "No one would ever find out what we do in the bedroom, what we do with each other here. So don't worry about what they would think. Instead, think about what you want for a change." Kario encouraged with a loving smile. This was Devon's home, probably the one and only place he had privacy, and Kario wanted him to think more about himself and less about what anyone else would think. If Devon truly wanted him to wear such things in their bedroom once in awhile he would definitely do so, and he didn't want his boyfriend to feel like it was something he shouldn't want or ask. If Devon continued to be too shy or embarrassed about it to ask that of him, he'd do it anyway, just because he knew that it was a turn on for the governor.

 

It was pleasing to Kario to hear his lover's unsteady breathing when he had broken the loving and passionate kiss he had given the blonde man. Because it made him feel even more sure that he had been able to express his love for him in that kiss, just like he was expressing it again now as he spoke. He didn't give the politician any chance to speak before he caught their lips in another kiss, though this time he felt the hands on his hips pulling them closer to his boyfriend, pressing him more firmly against him. This kiss made him let out a shaky breath of air when it was broken, his eyes locked on Devon's when he heard him say that he loved him too before pressing his lips to his neck. Kario let out a pleased hum at the feeling of his boyfriend's lips against his neck, letting his eyes drift shut and enjoying the feeling. This made him run his fingers through the other's hair again, they really did have a special connection with each other.

 

 

"That's true." Kario agreed with a nod. Devon had made it quite clear how much he loved seeing him in heat and pleasure and how hot he found him when he came uncontrollably. That didn't make it any less embarrassing for Kario, who still at the thought was able to flush a rather dark shade of red, but he was glad that the older man found such things about him hot. It was the smirk he noticed on the blonde's face that made him raise an eyebrow about to ask him what he was thinking about before Devon was already speaking. Telling him that it wasn't just quite a sight to see but that he also thought it was a good idea for a fountain statue, the words being groaned teasingly into his ear. That did make his face turn a deep red color and he groaned, "You're trying to kill me!" Kario complained. He was doing his best not to imagine such a statue, knowing that it'd more than likely get a reaction out of him.

 

There wasn't any hiding the groan he gave at the thought of dragging his ass out of bed before the sun was even up. That wasn't an appealing thought at all, but he then reminded himself it was to shower with Devon, and already he felt more accepting of the idea of doing that. Even though he wasn't sure how long he'd be able to keep it up before he would choose the comfort and warmth of the bed over a shower with his boyfriend. There really was no telling how long it'd last for, but he was determined to do it for as long as he could. The pinch to his ass was what drew him from his thoughts and he smirked up at the older man, leaning up to kiss him quickly. "It'll be worth it." He commented as if there wasn't any hesitation in him about getting up at such an ungodly hour.

 

"I had a stick..." Kario replied as he watched his boyfriend. "I played with my imagination and my friends. I didn't really have any toys growing up. You know the whole... not really having money thing and all. My parents made sure we had what we needed no matter what they had to sacrifice to make that happen. We played outside until the street lights came on at which point we were to be inside and washed up for dinner. Any toys I played with growing up were mainly when at a friend's house or a gift that was randomly sent from a grandparent that I had never met or knew existed until the gift arrived." Kario admitted with a shrug. In his defense, he had a lot of great memories playing with that stick, and his imagination as a child had been quite active. Kario in no way had felt deprived of anything for not really having toys, the few toys he did have he had never really used. "My grandparents did send the odd plastic animal as a toy, or a ball. For my sister they sent plastic jewelry and stuff like that. Just cheap little things, and though yes I played with the plastic animals they had sent me it was really only when I wasn't able to go outside because of bad weather. Even then it was as a last resort for when dad told me I couldn't sit in front of the TV with him and to go play." Kario added after to make sure that Devon wasn't about to feel bad for him.

 

Kario did give his lover a small sheepish smile, "That's probably for the best." He admitted. There was no point in pretending that he was interested in going to such things, even with his boyfriend. It just wasn't an interest, and even though he did feel a little bad that this wasn't something that they could enjoy and do together it just wouldn't change. "Sorry handsome, cars just don't fascinate me in any way. They are a mode of transportation, that's about it." He admitted with a shrug.

 

 

He had been right, what the police commander thought he would do really did hurt, and his gaze was once more on the scene outside his window. "Maybe those selling their bodies on the street are..." He murmured in response. Kario had never technically done that, even if he had sold his body before working in the brothel. It had always been to men who had approached him, nothing that he had actually gone looking for. He could see that those who sold themselves on the street may very well be criminals, but he also knew for a fact that he himself was not. "Maybe." Kario replied though he doubted it, especially if the man had openly expressed his feelings for Devon already. He doubted that the police commander getting to know him would change the way the man saw him. "At least I know that you know who I am and that I wouldn't hurt you." He added feeling better with that knowledge alone. As long as Devon knew that he wouldn't hurt him and that he wasn't a criminal that was what really mattered to him and would allow him to ignore the fact that the police commander seemed to think he was a criminal and would hurt the governor in the end.

 

Being told that he didn't have to prove anything to anyone he glanced towards Devon, who had at this point already turned his attention back to the street. Even though Kario technically knew that, he still wanted to. He wanted to prove them wrong, to make sure that everyone understood quite clearly that he was with the governor for Devon, and not for anything that the older man had.

 

 

Being told of Michalski's training didn't really help Kario any, it didn't ease him or make him feel like the man would accurately be able to tell who was being suspicious versus the normal people in his neighborhood. "Okay... but ignore our neighbor to the right he isn't suspicious just crazy." Kario mentioned with a small motion towards the old man's home. "He's harmless also, never leaves his yard though he does have a mouth on him." He added after a moment tapping his chin in thought. Shrugging afterwords and feeling that they at least needed that warning, the man really was harmless. Even if he had a mouth on him and was in every sense of the word crazy.

 

"If you're sure..." Enid said giving the other another glance, though if the governor himself was sure that the man wouldn't use a chair if she brought him one then there really was no reason to do so. Still, she felt bad for the poor man standing by the door. Shrugging it off she was happy to lead the other man into the living room where they'd probably spend their whole visit together. It was after all the best place for them to visit, perhaps as the two visited more she'd be able to get her son to help her in the kitchen again. She had missed that quite a bit since he had moved out, and after going so long without a holiday or special occasion with him she wanted to enjoy any moments she had with him now even more.

 

She laughed softly being told that Devon's mother too would agree that raising a girl was easier. "I will admit, she gave us some problems when she was younger but nothing like my boys. Two boys running around the house was a disaster for awhile. Constantly getting each other into trouble or doing something I thought was overly rough but my husband said was just boys being boys." She mused thinking back on it. "I can say that while we were both very active in our children's lives he definitely took a more prominent role in the upbringing of our son's. Mainly because he couldn't stand playing baby with our daughter. She always used to use the most annoying high pitched sound ever when she played that game." She absolutely loved thinking back on when her kids were little, but she had no problem admitting that in certain aspects of their kids upbringing it was normally one of them over the other. When it came to most things for her son's her husband had been a more prominent caretaker and teacher. Able to do things with them and show them things she couldn't since she had no interest or knowledge of it.

 

Kian wasn't truly surprised to be asked what he did for work, but he shrugged it off at first as if he wasn't going to answer the question. Eventually he did speak though, "Just a convenience store." He replied not really interested and it was clear by how he answered that it wasn't something he was going to speak further about. What he did for work wasn't important to him, it hadn't changed and he still hated it. He went, he plastered a smile on his face, he did as he was supposed to and more times than not filled in for others who called off. It didn't pay enough even after all the years he had worked there, and he felt more like he was wasting his time. It was a dead end job, one that was more of a high school kids first job than a career. Though he wasn't happy with it, it helped pay the bills and that was what was more important to him.

 

There was absolutely no surprise from him at the reaction Devon had to his question about what the man's own hobby's were, the little thing he had added in about his son had been to see how the other would take it. Even if he hadn't expected Kario to spit his tea out over the table, though as a father he had to admit it was a pretty amusing response. He wasn't remotely shy about what Devon did with his son, Kario was an adult and could have sex with whoever he wanted. That didn't mean he had to like that man, or that he should feel like it was a topic that had to be steered clear of. When he did finally get an answer he nodded thinking about the hobbies that the other man had. The hunting lodge was of a bit of interest, but only because his eyes moved to his son who had returned to clean the mess he had created. He knew Kario wasn't interested in hunting, so it made him wonder what his boy would be doing while Devon was doing such things. He didn't ask though, instead he turned his gaze back to Devon and the man he was trying to give the benefit of the doubt. So far the politician hadn't said or done anything that gave him a reason to not like him. The man did seem to have more hobbies than he expected, though it wasn't a bad thing either. "About how often would you say you actually do any of those hobbies?" He asked a little curious. He was aware of that the man traveled regularly for car conventions, but he was curious how much time he spent on his other hobbies, or how often he traveled for them. It was a minor curiosity, but one that would help him get to know the other man a bit more.

 

Kario perked up considerably when Devon agreed that he wasn't too skinny, though the reminder of how the governor's mother had also seemed to think he was only made him roll his eyes. "I didn't even make a dent in that pile of food." He admitted remembering how he had barely eaten any of it. By the time he was full it had still seemed as though he hadn't touched the mountain of food she had put in front of him, even if that had clearly not been the case.

 

"He never was a big eater." Kian replied with a small nod thinking about his son's eating habits. "Even as a kid it was his brother and sister that tried eating us out of house and home at every opportunity. Getting into things and making a mess." He added, remembering how those two had even tried to blame Kario plenty of times. He had known better though, and so had his wife. Even if Kario wasn't always completely innocent, you could be pretty positive anytime the kids had gotten into food that he hadn't been involved. Other things, yes, Kario probably was the culprit, food it was usually his siblings. "Granted he did get into other things. Like that time he almost burnt the house down thinking that he'd try smoking in the backyard with those friends of his near a gas can. Those boys were lucky, it could have been disastrous. Granted that babysitter didn't last long either." The man added after.

 

At that story Kario's face turned red from embarrassment again, he had never intended for Devon to learn about that incident. Groaning unhappily at the memory that came to his mind, he had done some rather stupid things as a kid. "I thought we promised never to mention that again?" He complained, "I was punished for it then and I can still taste the soap anytime I think about it..." He added with a frown. At the time the punishment hadn't made sense to him, but since that day anytime he even thought about smoking the taste of soap seemed to return and instantly kill any interest he had in it. When his father had found out not only had he been spanked and sent to his room he had been grounded for two weeks as well. The main reason his father had been upset was because he had only been seven at the time and they had managed to drop the cigarette which had landed right next to gas can. It had lit on fire, and though they had managed to get the fire put out before it could spread to the house or anything else it had been a terrifying experience.

 

Kario could see the look on his mother's face though, clearly thinking of him as a kid had brought other stories to her mind that she was more than willing to tell Devon about. Kario on the other hand was not thrilled, "Mom!" He said his tone making it clear that he was trying to make sure she didn't say a single word. She did turn towards him and give him a look stating that she would tell the other eventually, whether or not Kario liked it. It wasn't like they were not going to see more of the two men now and she would at some point be able to tell Devon all the stories of her son when he was little that she wanted to while making sure that Kario was busy in a different room and couldn't interrupt. She did turn back to Devon and gave him a small smile, "I'll just have to tell you those stories when he's to busy to interrupt."

[-Hideki-]

He nodded when Kario told him that he hoped that Ashfield would also tell him if someone hit on him and he got tempted. “I certainly would. Since if either of us would consider sleeping with someone else there would be something wrong and something we should definitely talk about before things went down a dark route anyway.” Devon told him although de didn’t like the idea of something in their relationship going that wrong. The blond man would never cheat and he would never forgive someone cheating on him. If he would get the feeling that he wanted to sleep with someone else he’d talk about it and search for the source of that feeling but he hoped that this would not happen to begin with, even more so, he hoped that Kario would never feel like another man was more interesting than him and worth destroying their relationship and that Ashfield wouldn’t fulfil him.

 

Returning the smile that his lover gave him when he told him that he wouldn’t hide if someone were to hit on him either especially since Devon knew that he was the one he came home to and was with. The blond man leaned over and kissed his young lover’s lips starting out softly going deeper and more passionate gradually. “I know and I promise to try my best to not want to punch the guy who has the audacity to hit on my boyfriend.” Ashfield told his lover showing good will but he knew that he couldn’t guarantee his success, he was pretty territorial after all and he’d definitely hate the guy’s guts and would see a threat in another man hitting on the man he loved. In women he wouldn’t although he wouldn’t be thrilled by them flirting with his cute Kario either. He wondered if women were often interested in him too now as the black haired had never mentioned any being into him. “Do I have to expect the opposite gender hitting on you too?” he wanted to know.

 

His attempt to ignore his boner and to try to keep his lover from noticing it failed miserably, he knew when he felt the brown eyes on the tent in his pants and he could feel how his dick twitched inside of his pants under his boyfriend’s eyes the hard rod clearly wanting his attention, his mind however being torn between him being horny and wanting to be touched down there and just wanting his boyfriend to pretend he had not seen his boner to not make it harder for him to keep up battling against his sex addicted body. When he felt his lover’s hand reach out and covering the bulge with his hand a spark was making his body jolt and his mouth opened to take a deep breath. Hearing his lover suggest doing something about it because he had been the one planting that fantasy into his mind in the first place made him half nod and half shake his head reflecting how torn he was. “You don’t have to if it makes things more difficult for you....” he assured him his voice a little heated. “If you really want to and think it’ll not tempt you and make it more difficult for you I won’t be stopping you either.” The politician couldn’t keep himself from saying as he had gotten so aroused that he wished the other would give his throbbing dick some love.

 

Immediately he shook his blond head and took the young male’s hand into his own when Kario wanted to know when he had ever mocked him or made fun of him and that he apologised if he ever had. “No, I never meant to suggest that you did so.” The governor corrected. “It’s just an internal fear of mine that my position brought with it. I’m ridiculed constantly and I have gotten really conscious about it because I don’t want to give them more munition.” He admitted with a sigh. A frown appeared on his face when his lover tried to assure him that no one would ever find out what they did in the bedroom and in the mansion. “I genuinely hope so. But after the picture from the brothel I am not sure if I can be certain of my privacy anywhere at all.” The politician stated with a dry unhappy laugh.

 

 

 

 

The smirk was only getting wider and he laughed when Kario turned a dark shade of red complaining that Ashfield was trying to kill him after he had teased him mentioning a fountain statue of his lover cumming like crazy. “No. Quite the opposite sweetie, I’m brisking up your blood flow.” The governor jested amused grinning at his lover sucking on his neck.

 

When Kario answered his question as to what he had played with by saying that he had had a stick Devon raised an eyebrow unbelieving and as if he wanted to ask him ‘Really?’ as it seemed like mockery and the other wanting to troll him to the billionaire. He didn’t think it was proper trolling though because it was too obviously absurd. Just when the black haired man continued to talk did the governor’s expression change as he realised that the other was serious about this. It made him feel a little bad. For one for thinking his boyfriend had wanted to troll him and then because the young man had not had any toys and had played with a stick as a kid. It still seemed unbelievable to him. “That is sad.” He couldn’t keep himself from saying as he turned his gaze back onto the streets. “Although I liked playing outside too . My parents had hired someone to built a tree house for me, I had a water slide, a pool, a survival and exploring kit for kids, a bike and water guns and I liked to play with those things when friends visited or alone outside in the garden.” He told the other. “Once a week during the weekends one of our circles parents had to drive our group of kids to some event – even though none of them wanted too - like Disney world or drive go-cart or to the zoo, spending a day on the yacht. I remember comparing Olga to a hippo once, she wanted to push me into the lions compound afterwards.” The governor laughed remembering all of this. “You must have had something to play with or to do outside and done trips to the zoo or somewhere else too. Just a stick and a plastic animal sounds so colourless and as if you weren’t given many opportunities as a child ” The blond man said thinking that no child in their nation should play with sticks and have nothing nice to do. Devon was aware that he had had too many toys as he had gotten everything he had wanted to make him shut up, not be annoying and to not disturb his parents and most of the stuff had gotten boring after a short amount of time but from what Kario described it was the other way around, he had had way too little.

 

Chuckling he looked at Kario when he told him that it was for the best if he didn’t take him to car conventions and that cars were just not fascinating to him. “I’m certain Sven’s brother would call this blasphemy.” He laughed. “Anyway you can still fly over with me. You can spend the day with Jens’s wife unlike him she seemed nice on that photo and their kids because I doubt she would like the car convention either and when I return to the hotel we can go on another kind of ride.” The blond man grinned. “But only if you want to.” He added.

 

 

It was like another sting into his heart when he saw his young lover’s reaction to telling him what Mahler thought about him and how the man murmured something about maybe those selling themselves on the streets and also not seeming convinced that Mahler would be able to see that he had been wrong once he got to know the black haired. It was depressing to notice how this hurt him and he wished he had not mentioned Mahler in the first place. He had gotten careless because of his father’s behaviour and his old man annoying him with the same thing the police Commander had confronted him with and Kario wanting to know whether the blond knew that he wasn’t with him for his money. A smile reappeared on Ashfield’s face as he nodded encouragingly when the black haired said that at least the governor himself knew who the young man was and that he would not hurt him. “I am here with you, hence you can be certain that I do know that you are not a criminal. I love you and that’s all that matters, not my father nor the police Commander. They either come on board and change their minds or it’s their loss.” The politician let his boyfriend know how he saw it.

 

Devon was oblivious to the fact that the young man didn’t feel eased or convinced by learning about Michalski being a professional. Just when Kario seemed to see the need to inform them to ignore the neighbour to the right as he wasn’t suspicious but crazy he realised it. It made the governor aware that his boyfriend really didn’t trust their judgements, neither his nor Michalskis and it didn’t make him feel good. It made him feel as if the other thought he was an idiot who couldn’t tell normal citizens apart from criminals who were up to no good and about to attack and that bugged him and made his face go stern. The stern expression changed into a questioning one when the black haired deemed it necessary to say that the man was harmless, had a mouth on him but never left his yard. “He never leaves his yard?”Devon asked unbelieving. “And how does he get to work then?” he wanted to know as this was not possible. Maybe he had a home office but even if it was that way he had to leave his yard ever once in a while at least. And why would someone not leave their yard to begin with? “What crazy things does he do then?” Ashfield had gotten curious about that.

 

A smile was on Ashfield’s face when the woman said that two boys running around in the house had been quite something but that her daughter had made some trouble as well. “I am certain it is always very lively but also a challenge with three young kids in the house.” The governor said although he could only imagine as he had no children himself and he also had no siblings. “My parents had only me and they found that I took too much time out of their day already.” He jested still smiling although it was something that actually had not been fun for him at all. Listening as the woman spoke further his smile grew because Kario obviously had had loving parents who had both cared about him, The woman even said that they had played with their kids. None of the politician’s parents had ever done that. His mother had ignored him because he had not been what she had wanted and she found what he said and did boring and annoying and his father had taught him a lot and had tried to shape him into the heir he had wanted but he would have never played with him nor tolerated him making annoying sounds. “Kario was really lucky to have you as his parents as you have given him a loving home and were dedicated to your children.” The governor complimented her another time. “My father did play the more prominent role in my upbringing too.” He then added but forgot to say that his mother wasn’t there for him at all and how exactly his father had raised him.

 

Looking into the young male’s father’s eyes he waited for an answer as to what he did for a living and it was definitely a weird reaction people usually answered that question right away and they didn’t look bored and shrugged doing it. Then Ashfield got an answer though and learned that the man owned a convenience store or so the billionaire thought. “This is great. Small businesses and the people who own them are important for the economy and the nation as well. I was always for supporting small businesses and helping people found them. My family started out with their own small businesses as well and now we own multiple companies worldwide.” The blond said totally into that kind of talk not understanding why the man didn’t like talking about his business. And then something even weirder came to his mind. If his family owned a convenience store Kario must have been there and known that.... and then he got it. The man didn’t own the store he was an employee of it. Ashfield tried to not let his embarrassment and that he had gotten aware of his mistake too late after he had been already blabbering show and searched for something on his mind for distraction but it seemed emptied out of anything useful and since he had spoken about his family’s business history all he had on his mind as a distraction was ‘My ancestors owned a cotton farm’ and ‘I will get disowned if I lose the election’ and neither of that was a good distraction so he just said: “I parked my car in front of the gate of the yard I hope it doesn’t bother anyone there.” With a wide polite smile and he would have liked to hit his head hard against something.

 

He had not expected to be asked how much time he spent on his hobbies, how often he did them. Ashfield smiled at the other man and then said:”I spent time doing politics every day obviously as this has become my job. I unfortunately have to admit that this keeps me from engaging in my other hobbies as much because I simply lack time. I try to be in the hunting lodge three times a year at least, I shove visits at art galleries and auctions between my schedules when I am abroad or at different parts of the state but all in all I had a lot more time for everything when I was still a business man. It was much more relaxed, I didn’t have duties and restrictions as I have now and I spent much more time just for my amusement. I am not complaining at all though. Everything has it’s up and down sides, I knew this beforehand and I signed up for office regardless.” The blond explained to Kario’s father. “Although I have to admit that I miss the privacy I had when I wasn’t a politician and where the media was mostly focussed on my father’s cooperation and not on me as a person.” He admitted as there was no denying that the lack of privacy was the worst part of his work as the governor. “I love being the governor though and I wouldn’t give up my position without fighting for it with all I have.”

Devon laughed when Kario rolled his eyes remembering the food plate his mother had given him and how the young man admitted to not have come far with it. “Well, Jeff did. He ate all the shrimps that were there when he dropped by .” The blond remembered how the IT guy had entered the mansion and the first thing that he had done had been eating all the shrimps available.

 

As Kario’s father spoke the governor listened to what he had to say about Kario never having been a big eater, his other children being the one who had eaten a lot and trying to blame the mess they had made on the black haired. He found it amusing to hear those stories about the young man’s childhood and he was more than willing to learn more. What he learned then about what his lover had actually done in his childhood it got more serious rather quickly. Kian Teschu told him about his son having smoked with those friends of his near a gas can and nearly having caused a huge fire. He looked to the young man who had blushed again and who groaned as he was apparently more than displeased with his father telling Devon.

 

After his lover was finished complaining about the brought up story the blond grinned at him widely. “It seems that your clumsiness got you into a lot of life threatening situations and I not only have to take care of your safety regarding the stairs in the mansion but with fire also now.” He teased the young man before he nudged his nose at his cheek. Then he turned back to the man’s father. “It was good that you managed to cure him from smoking right away. It seems that still a lot of teenagers are willing to get into it despite all the knowledge and information available to them. I had a guy in class who started smoking as a teen to rebel against his strict parents. His parents used the wrong method to try to make him stop and since he had suffered from asthma since kindergarten he soon faced the consequences of it.” The blond said thinking that Kario must have been a teen when he had tried to smoke, “I have never developed any curiosity about it. My father is a heavy smoker, mostly cigars. And whenever he was displeased or just wanted to show people their place he blew the smoke right into their faces, he still does. And as a kid it always nearly made me gag so I didn’t want to have anything to do with cigarettes and cigars.” The governor explained.

 

 

When his boyfriend’s mother apparently had a story she was keen on telling Ashfield Kario called out to her and that made Devon chuckle and he smiled back at the woman when she said that she had to tell him those stories another time then when Kario wasn’t around to protest. “Sounds great Ma’am although it would be even nicer if he was around too.” He said as he wanted to know everything about the young man and everything about him was interesting to him. Then he turned to Kario. “I don’t know why you are so opposed to this anyway. You know you can tell me everything and learning more about you makes me happy and just strengthens my love for you more.” The blond man said with a smile.

[Sathenus]

"We definitely would." Kario agreed with a nod. If either of them were tempted to sleep with another man then they definitely had to discuss it and discover what was causing this new desire. For either of them to suddenly have an interest and be tempted by another man meant that there was something in their relationship that they were no longer getting from the other. It would definitely have to be addressed. Though Kario didn't like the idea that it would ever happen, and thus decided that it would never happen. That neither one of them would ever be tempted by another, and that the two of them would happily be together for the rest of their lives. Shaking his head after a moment his dark eyes moved back to his lover's golden gaze, "I don't think that will happen though."

 

An amused look crossed his face when Devon indicated that he promised to try not to punch any guy who had the audacity to hit on him. A soft laugh escaping him after, "Well, I guess I should be pleased that you'll at least try not too, whether or not that is actually successful." He replied just as amused. What he wasn't expecting was to be asked if the blonde should expect women to hit on him as well, and it made him truly consider it for a moment before he shrugged. "I wouldn't think so. If any girl ever had hit on me I was to clueless to notice. Or maybe I didn't notice because I don't desire them at all?" He replied the last part an honest question. Kario didn't think that any women would hit on him at all, but at the same time he wasn't really sure if he would notice if one was either. It could have happened already for all he knew and he was just not interested and thus blind to their advances.

 

A questioning look crossed his face when his lover half nodded and shook his head to his question of taking care of the other's obvious erection. It took him a moment to understand and realize that the reason Devon responded in that manner was because the older man was conflicted himself. Knowing that his boyfriend truly didn't want to tempt him and thus was conflicted about how he wanted to answer him was a bit heartwarming. To think that he wanted to respect his wishes to the point that he was willing to deny his own needs meant quite a lot to Kario, but it was also unnecessary. "I'd be quite the cruel boyfriend if I tempted you so much you get hard and then didn't help you relieve it. I can't be that mean to you. Besides... maybe... well maybe it will help me keep my own body's desire at bay a bit longer." He said with a soft shrug. There was no telling for sure if helping Devon with his problem would benefit or hurt his own, but he was honestly a bit more than happy to find out especially if it meant he was pleasing the man he loved.

 

With that on his mind he shifted so he was kneeling beside the man and reached down to undo his belt so that he could work better and because he was sure that Devon didn't want to dirty his pants in such a manner. Once he had undone the belt he was working on undoing his pants and pushing them down enough along with his boxers to free his hard cock. A pleased look crossed his face immediately, it really was an impressive sight to him and he was more than willing to take care of it. Reaching out he let his fingers run along the hard length for a moment just enjoying the feeling of the other man's length. When he was done doing so he let his hand close around it, to give it a bit more stimulation and what he was sure Devon really wanted and needed. Still, his hand moved slowly, and his grip was just tight enough to not be considered lose though he knew it wasn't what the older man wanted either. There was a reason behind that though, and that reason wasn't completely to tease the blonde. It allowed Kario to decide if he was going to just stroke him to completion or if he was going to offer more. After a few more strokes he decided that this wasn't really enough for him, and he shifted to position himself in a place where he would be able to comfortably take his lover into his mouth instead.

 

It was with a much more pleased expression that he ran his tongue over Devon's length and let out a pleased sound. After licking it a few more times like one would an icecream cone he finally took the head of his lover's cock into his mouth to give it the attention he new it was really craving. He was right though, this was definitely more satisfying to him as well than just jerking the older man off. Kario rather happily and devotedly focused on giving Devon pleasure, and he truly didn't feel like this was affecting him in any way other than being able to please the person he loved.

 

Seeing his boyfriend shake his head and take his hands into his made him give the other a look asking if he had misunderstood. Clearly that was what happened when Devon explained to him that he had never meant to suggest that he had laughed at or mocked him and thus the apology had been unnecessary. Hearing that it was an internal fear of his because of being the governor made Kario frown though. He didn't want Devon to have this fear, he wanted the man to be able to feel what he wanted and express his desires to him without fear of anyone finding out and being mocked or laughed at for what Kario himself felt was completely natural and normal. "But the brothel is also a business, this is your private home. What is the actual chance that someone would be able to gain access to it without your knowledge? I wouldn't let anyone in, and I don't think anyone else would either." Kario said trying to make Devon feel more comfortable about this and reassure him that anything they did within these walls and in their bedroom truly were private. As long as it happened here, he couldn't guarantee that anywhere else. But this was the politician's sanctuary, and he wanted to make sure that Devon felt safe enough to do and explore whatever he wanted.

 

 

A groan parted his lips when Devon said that he wasn't trying to kill him but was instead brisking up his blood flow. "You keep doing that and you could kill me." He whined in response. The feeling of the governor's lips on his neck as he was sucking on it made a more pleasured sound escape him and he felt himself relax instantly despite the embarrassment he had been feeling and the fact that his face was still flushed a deep red. At least some of the red was beginning to disappear as he turned his head enough to capture Devon's lips with his own in a deep kiss.

 

The disbelieving look he got from Devon made him give the man a small smile, and he noticed that look change when he had continued to explain how his childhood had been and what he had to play with. Kario hadn't expected to be told that it was sad, and he gave the man a curious look himself. Sure he hadn't had the most privileged childhood, but Kario liked to think that even though he didn't really have anything to play with that he had a good childhood. Listening as the older man told him what he had liked to do as a child and how he had always had stuff to play with and how the weekend was for him and his friends it sounded really great. "The zoo?" He repeated thinking about it, "I've honestly never been to the zoo." Shifting in his seat he made it so he could lean against the car door a little and prop his head up on his right hand so that he could watch his boyfriend better. "Is it fun?" He asked truly curious about it. Though he had never gone to the zoo, he had seen things about it and had asked about going, but his siblings never wanted too do so and thus it never happened. Since it wasn't something that was free and admission had to be paid it was something that wouldn't have happened very much anyway. Once every three years or so his parents had managed to save enough to take them to the fair when it was in town, but it wasn't very often and even then what they could do was limited. It had still been fun though and they had all looked forward to it. "My parents were able to take us to the fair once every three years or so. It was kind of a special treat for us and their way of trying to make up for all of the times they couldn't do anything with us. But it still depended on their funds which was why it didn't happen very often." He replied with a small shrug.

 

"I did have a lot of fun with that stick though, using my imagination and all. I remember pretending it was a snake, or a crocodile. Use it as a walking stick or pretend it was a sword. There was also one time I tied it around my waist with a some threat to make it seem like I had a tail." His imagination had made anything possible with such a simple object as a stick. It didn't even matter that yeah he didn't have a lot of things, because he was able to enjoy things in a different way and it made him appreciate what he did have even more.

 

"Do you really think I'd pass up a chance to travel with you? Even if it means I'd be spending some time without you and with someone else instead?" Kario asked his boyfriend with an amused look. "I'd love to go with you anyway, and we will just spend time together and have fun when you're finished with all of the cars and stuff." He added with a large smile. If Devon was going to travel for these car conventions he had no problem traveling there with him, as long as he wasn't forced to go to the car convention as well since he'd be bored out of his mind and understand nothing of what anyone was talking about.

 

 

There was no way he could have missed the stern expression that crossed Devon's face when he had mentioned the crazy old man next door. He gave his lover a questioning look wondering why he was looking at him with that expression but Devon's stern look gave way to a questioning one himself when he had mentioned that he never left his yard. "He doesn't work he is long since retired. He hasn't worked for as long as I can remember." Kario admitted with a shrug as if it was obvious. "He's a crazy old man, has to be almost ninety by now if he isn't already." He added with a thoughtful look. His eyes moved behind his boyfriend to the old man's yard and the house as he thought more about him. When he was asked what crazy things he does all he gave in response at first was a shrug. "There was that time when I was four and caught him yelling at a bush. Saying something about how he saw it do it, how it couldn't be doing that and some crap. My mom was very quick to get me back in the house. He's done other weird and crazy things too like peeing in his trash can out by his mailbox late at night, there used to be a tree in his front lawn near our house. On day he literally freaked out and claimed that it was evil, that it had tried to kill him, scratching on his window at night and whispering to him when no one was around. The nurse that comes to take care of him couldn't seem to get him to calm down until she agreed to call someone to remove it. The stump remained for about five years after that until he once more claimed that the evil was back and after him." Kario explained a little of what he had experienced over the years living beside the man.

 

"I also remember catching him staring into his neighbors windows, including ours. Just staring blankly as though he wasn't even really seeing the house and he would do it for hours. It used to freak me out, but as I got older I just learned to ignore him." He hadn't really told them about the crazy old man because he felt like Michalski would mistake him for some sort of criminal, but because he didn't want the man's presence to affect either of them or make either uncomfortable. "Most commonly though he just kind of starts yelling at people and saying nonsense. When you ask him what he is talking about he tells you that he wasn't speaking to you even if you were who he was staring at and that there is no one else around." With another shrug he lead them towards his parent's home, "Just all out crazy."

 

"Oh! I'm sure all parents feel that way at some point." Enid replied patting the other's shoulder. It was a little disheartening to hear even if the governor had said it in a joking manner, sure that there was some truth beneath it. She was sure that all parents felt like their kids took up too much of their time sometimes, no matter how many kids they had. "A loving home and dedication to them is all we could really guarantee our children. But I will say, that at least they are all for the most part happy and healthy." She replied with a soft sigh her oldest son coming instantly to mind. She didn't think he was happy and she knew the drugs meant he wasn't healthy, it hurt her to watch the way he seemed to be withering away but there was nothing she could do. They had both tried to get him off the drugs, and she had hoped having gone to jail would have been enough of a wake up call. She had been wrong, and the more she thought about it the more depressed and upset she began to feel. Since there was a guest in her home and because this was focused on Kario and Devon she did not want to feel such things and managed to banish those feelings as she turned her attention once more to the governor. "I do suppose it is natural for the father to take a more prominent role in their son's lives. They need that sort of guidance after all, though that isn't to say that men raised by single mothers aren't good men either."

 

"Small business are a good thing, when they actually show compassion to their employees though." Kian replied with a small shrug. He understood the governor here, and he didn't judge or dislike him for what was said. It made him wish that maybe he could have done something differently to make things easier for his family, but it came down to the fact that they managed despite everything they had been through. "It won't, neither my wife nor I drive anymore. It's been a long time since any type of vehicle was parked in that driveway." He replied with a small wave of his hand. That was after all the best place for their guest to park, and since they did not have a vehicle of their own there was no reason for it to bother him that the politician had parked there.

 

"Privacy is an important thing for sure. No one, not even politicians deserve half of the crap the media puts out there." Kian replied with a small nod understanding how Devon could miss the fact that he had a lack of privacy thanks to being the governor. It did make him worry more for his son though, as a father he didn't want his son's own privacy to be sacrificed for a relationship. Since he knew the stuff being said on the news about the governor right now and because of that his son he still had things he was unhappy with Devon about that pertained nothing to his politics. But right now was not the time to deal with that, if for no other reason than because it was already out there and that he was sure both men before him weren't very pleased with it being in the public eye either. "Well, you definitely aren't the worst governor this state's ever had." He added upon Devon telling him that he would not give up his position without fighting for it with everything he had. And it was true, though the man before him was not his favorite, he wasn't the worst and thus it made him a bit more okay with continuing to have him as a governor.

 

"At least someone did though, it was going to go to waste otherwise. I really don't know how she expected me any of it really." Kario admitted with a small smile. He was glad that Jeff had eaten all of the shrimp regardless of the fact that they hadn't quite sat well with the man after despite that and he had use the bathroom. That whole night had kind of been a disaster, well, at least until they had been left alone and could focus more on each other.

 

"I might have a fascination with fire after that but I don't go around setting things on fire. Just don't expect me to necessarily put out one quickly." Kario replied with a small shrug. Ever since that event he did have a rather large interest in fire, but he never went around setting things on fire but found himself entranced by it whenever faced with it. Even the fire on a candle was enough to grasp his attention and leave him staring at it for hours.

 

"If only he was a teen though. Kario was seven." Kian said giving his son a stern look that stated clearly he still wasn't quite over what his son had done or fully forgiven him for what could have been disastrous. This made Kario look away from him and rub the back of his neck nervously not really sure what to say or do for a moment. "I'm sorry... I never did anything like that again." He murmured even if he had done other dangerous things and had gotten into trouble it was always at home and never into such serious trouble that the police or anyone else was needed. Though he did have to admit that the punishments that followed were always enough to straighten him out rather quickly. His father certainly wasn't abusive, but he was firm and made it clear when things were not to be tolerated. Kario had learned, and very quickly to not repeat the same mistakes. Kian slightly pleased that his son still seemed to show remorse for what he had done turned his gaze back to the governor. "I do agree with you though, teenagers are still getting into a lot of trouble and doing things they shouldn't because of the lack of information available to them. But like in every group, no matter how much information and support is given there will always be some kids that just won't respond to it anyway." What he was a little concerned by was hearing that the blonde's father apparently had a tendency to blow smoke into the faces of those who displeased him and to in a sense show dominance. It wasn't something he was okay with, especially not with what he had dealt with in regards to Kario already with such things and his other son with drugs. Turning his gaze to Kario he spoke to his son regarding this, "You best watch yourself. Even secondhand smoke can be dangerous."

 

Kario nodded in response to his father's warning to watch himself. He knew it was the man trying to tell him, or rather demanding that he remains on the good side of the governor's father. But it wasn't that easy, and he didn't have the heart to tell the man that his boyfriend's father saw very little in him and didn't like him at all. Even if he knew that his dad's warning was also because of the actual danger of secondhand smoke, he knew it was mainly a guise to hide that he wanted his son to be on his best behavior and use proper manners around such important people. This wasn't something that Kario had to be reminded of though, and with how the man behind the Ashfield Corporation felt about him it wouldn't matter if he used his manners or not. There was no changing how the man felt about him, he would just have to come to terms with it.

 

It wasn't until he heard Devon speak to his mother when he had managed to stop her from telling another embarrassing story about him as a kid and was instead telling her that though it would be great to hear the stories another time he would prefer to hear them while he was around as well. "They are embarrassing." He muttered to Devon when the man said that he didn't know why he was so opposed to the stories. What followed that part though made a soft pink hue sprout up on his cheeks as he met the blonde's gaze. "I know I can but... it really is embarrassing." He admitted despite being told that learning more about him made Devon happy and only strengthened the love he had for him more. "Some of what I did as a kid might... make you rethink that last part." He added in such a soft voice he kind of hoped that Devon wouldn't hear him.

 

"Don't mumble under your breath, Kario." He heard his mother chide him from her spot having taken up her knitting and relaxing in her chair clearly deeming that she was happy and comfortable with the situation. Clearly she didn't like her son speaking in a manner that was meant to not be heard while also saying what was on his mind. It was with a deep breath and a sigh that he relaxed into Devon's side and decided to give him a little bit of why at least this particular story had been one he had been adamant to stop from being told. "She was going to try to tell the story of when I was little and couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed to run around outside naked and used to sit butt naked by the front door crying because she wouldn't let me outside until I got clothes on."

 

"It was quite adorable." She mused giving Devon a smile before she gave her son a loving look. "It is also one of my more clear memories of when you were little. You'd just sit there crying and telling us how much you wanted to go outside. I'd tell you that you can't go outside without clothes on and that you had to go upstairs and get dressed at which point you would sob that you didn't want to get clothes on. So I had to tell you once more that you couldn't go outside and the crying would start up all over again until you finally came to terms with it and went to get dressed." Turning her gaze back to Devon she continued, "You wouldn't believe how often he did that when he was little, it took us quite a while to get him to understand that he just couldn't run around outside naked. Kario like all my children did quite a few cute things when they were little."

 

That was when Kario decided to interject once more before she could start talking about anything else he did as a child. His eyes turning to Devon and claiming his boyfriend's attention once more, "All of her favorite memories of me were embarrassing things I used to do as a kid. She even used to tell some of my friends these stories. Do you know how embarrassing that is?" He asked though he heard a soft laugh from his mother before she was telling him that he didn't have anything to be embarrassed about. There was at least one memory his mother had of him that he was glad she hadn't tried telling yet, but he also knew it was only a matter of time because it was her favorite story to tell. Trying to get conversation as far away from him and when he was a kid as possible he turned his gaze to his boyfriend once more. "Surely you have your own things that you wanted to ask or talk about that have nothing to do when I was little." Kario said hoping Devon would get the hint that he didn't want this to remain their topic of conversation.

[-Hideki-]

Devon noticed Kario shaking his head and he looked at him curiously and didn’t have to wait long for the young man to inform him that he didn’t think that it would happen, that neither of them would ever get tempted or interested in sleeping with another man again. “I hope so and I don’t want to think that this could even be a thing either.” The blond said as he hated the thought. He was realistic enough that they wouldn’t stay in the so called honeymoon phase their entire time but he was still determined to keep the flame and their relationship alive.

 

The amusement on Kario’s face was clear to see when Ashfield had promised to at least try not to punch the guy or act out if another guy ever had the audacity to hit on his boyfriend and Devon grinned widely when the black haired expressed his gratitude for the blond’s effort in a just as amused way.

He shrugged when his boyfriend said that if he had ever been hit on by a chick he had not noticed it followed by a question as to whether that was because he didn’t desire them at all. “That is most likely true. Not having them on my radar at least makes me overlook them in general so it’s harder to notice someone expressing interest when you don’t even recognise the person. That and women have a weird way to flirt that I don’t get. However there was always some straight dude around who informed me that ‘Cindy is totally into you, it’s obvious man’ or Cindy just got way too frustrated that I didn’t even notice her and didn’t pay attention to her what made her mad enough to be forward about it.” The blond spoke from his experiences. “So if no straight guy ever informed you about something like that or any chick approached you right away than I think I don’t have to bother with jealous women who get bitchy towards me because they want you for themselves on top of all those horn y dudes who want to steal you from me.” The governor explained laughing, wrapping his arms around Kario’s waist.

 

Listening to his young lover made it obvious to him that the black haired was determined to help him out with his little problem and that he would not be able to stop him from doing so, not that he actually wanted to stop him anyway because he was craving to be stimulated and touched by the other man much rather than he desired his own right hand. So he didn’t say anything and it was a matter of seconds and his boyfriend was undoing his belt pulling down his pants. His hard manhood was springing free and the air in the room felt cold against the pulsating heat.

 

Devon’s golden gaze looked at Kario who looked at the governor’s dick with such a pleased expression clearly eager to take care of the blond’s cock and to give it the attention it needed. A spark ran through him and a hum escaped him when his lover finally reached out for him and let his finger run over the length of his dick. It just made him crave it more but when the other finally took his cock into his hand and began to stroke him his grip didn’t have near enough pressure and he was going incredibly slow, in a way that was enthralling and teasing but that deprived him of what he wanted and needed from the other now, the pleasure he yearned for. “Kario....!” he exclaimed in a tone that was as scolding as it was showing that he needed more and wanted the teasing to stop already.

 

Then the young man shifted and Ashfield watched him to see what he was doing and the next thing he knew was the feeling of a wet warm tongue running up the heated shaft of his erect dick making him take in a deep breath. The way his boyfriend licked on his rod was hot and a little lewd maybe and it turned him on big time. Kario looked as if Devon’s dick was the sweetest ice cream and as if he couldn’t get enough of it and it made a deep aroused growl slip through his lips while he was stimulated and looked at the black haired pleasuring him.

 

When his lover finally took the head of his dick into his mouth and started to suck the blond moaned slightly and it didn’t take much more and pre-cum started to ooze out of his cock and into the young male’s mouth. The great feeling made him want more and his hands reached down stroking through the black hair before slightly pressing his boyfriend’s head closer, lightly thrusting into the mouth burying the whole length in there the tightness of the other’s throat around his dick increasing the pleasure that was streaming through his body while a growl came from the governor.

 

It was both nice and hot to see how devoted and happily the other was sucking on his dick, how he seemed to enjoy pleasuring him like that and at this point Ashfield’s body was completely on fire and he was thrusting his hips somewhat harder craving more pleasure to push him over the edge and to get his release. The blond was panting and his heart was pounding hard, sweat glistering on his upper lip and his hands were digging into the mane of black hair more firmly, the amazing tightness of the other man’s throat making him feel as if he was floating on clouds of pleasure, a low moan echoing through the room. “Make me cum!” his voice sounded heatedly afterwards, his expression twisted in pleasure a horny shine in his eyes as another moan escaped him.

 

“The chance is admittedly small but it’s still not zero.” He told the young man when he asked how high the chance was that someone who wanted to harm him politically or personally would gain access to his private property. “There are ways and means for a trained person to get inside without me noticing though. I think Jeff together with one of the bodyguards probably had a chance if they tried.” He explained taking that example because Jeff was a hacker and Michalski had been trained in the military.

“Security systems can be overcome, that’s the problem with them and their weak point.” The blond told his boyfriend even though it was not really a nice thought to think about someone undermining his security system and breaking into his property. “I still don’t really want to have security guards in front of my door and on my property 24/7 though. I thought for a governor that much wasn’t necessary but maybe I should consider it.” The blond asked himself and it was rather clear that the latest attack on his privacy had gone much too far for him and that it had left its marks. “I’m sorry.” He then said. “I really should relax about this more I suppose. And if you won’t mention this to anyone, not even if I’ll ever piss you off and you get mad, I would appreciate if well, we could play that fantasy out together.” The politician finally said still feeling that if Kario was an actual policeman or in the military he probably wouldn’t feel that bad about it because it could be just seen as ‘his boyfriend happened to be in the police force’ and not ‘the governor is a perv and makes his boyfriend dress up in uniforms for plays in the bedroom’.

 

 

“No worries I am inclined to get it to calm down again too.” The man said with a wink before he began sucking on the other’s neck. He could hear the pleased noises his boyfriend made and felt how the other eased up and relaxed into the touch what encouraged Devon to let his hands run up the other’s torso, caressing the wet chest the water was flowing over and while both of his hands were feeling him up, sliding over his body they stopped at the nipples that the governor rubbed, pinched and pulled. When Kario turned around slightly and caught his lips in a kiss Ashfield leaned into it, claimed it and deepened it as if he wanted to devour the man wholly.

 

He blinked his eyes when Kario said that he had never been to the zoo. Going to the zoo was such a nice activity for kids and he had always thought that most parents went with their children if for nothing else than to teach them and let them see different animals. “Yes, it has always been a lot of fun when we visited the zoo. Adventurous too when it was one of the single parent’s turn or they had send a nanny instead and that one person had to watch after a group of toddlers. Especially if Olga and I were both there at the same time.” The blond said laughing. When he had the opportunity he turned his head to the side to look at his cute lover for a second before he had to turn his gaze back to the street. “We could still make such a trip. Maybe take some friends too. I mean we certainly aren’t kids nor do we have kids but I can’t see why adults shouldn’t have a nice day at the zoo too.” He suggested with a smile.

When Kario said that they did go to the fair every three years or so he smiled. “I have only been to fairs as an adult, and only to open them and to give a speech, to talk to people, shake hands and take photos.” The governor said. “As a kid we were only ever taken to amusement parks but I think there is a certain similarity although it’s not entirely the same thing.” He let him know with a smile.

 

He raised an eyebrow and smiled when Kario stated that he had had a lot of fun with the stick, telling him how he had played with it. “I played with swords too but I didn’t have to pretend. I had actual toy swords, they made sounds too.” The governor said. “I have never imagined having a tail though.” He stated, finding this rather amusing and it made him chuckle. “My interest in playing with snakes and crocodiles even imaginary ones was limited too. When your father collects exotic replies and you are surrounded by snakes and an alligator you lose interest. Especially if you are actually made to feel jealous of the alligator. Stupid Paul, I still don’t like him.” The blond said shook his head and laughed. “As you know I used my imagination a lot as well but in another way.” He stated referring to the mansion. “I tried to draw my ideas and stories when I was a kid and a teen but I had to realise that I sucked at drawing so...” the man let his lover know.

 

Ashfield smiled happily and he saw out of the corner of his eyes that Kario did too when he told him that he wanted to travel with him to the conventions even though he didn’t want to visit them to spend the time that was left with Devon and it pleased him. At least he wouldn’t have to return into an empty hotel room wanking after he had returned from the convention and dinner and his friends had gone to their rooms. It was much more appealing to do some additional things with his boyfriend although he had liked the idea of sharing this interest with the man he loved too.

 

 

“Well, since you deemed it necessary to inform us that he was harmless and not a threat and to ignore him I didn’t think about a ninety years old man.” Ashfield said understanding even less why Kario had thought they would deem the man a threat. Listening to what crazy stuff the man did made him laugh even though he understood that it technically was more tragic than funny as the guy wasn’t just crazy- crazy but seemed to actually be mentally ill. But even Michalski couldn’t keep himself from grinning although he was eager to pretend he didn’t listen to the conversation as it was part of how his job was done and what made him much more professional than Smith too. “I think that your neighbour could benefit from a stay in a sanatorium and anti-psychotics.” The blond commented while they reached the door.

 

He didn’t let it show that he knew that one of the women’s children was not healthy, not okay and actually a criminal. Pretending that he didn’t know he just said:”And that’s certainly the most important thing.” With an acknowledging smile!

Devon nodded when she said she thought that it was natural for the father to play the most prominent part in a boy’s upbringing. “Perhaps.” He commented. “My dad has been raised by his mother though as my grandfather was focussed solely on work and only sometimes did something together with my father and taught him things. My grandparents had a really strict division in tasks. She also never worked, not that she would have had to being an English aristocrat anyway. ” The governor told her.

 

When the man agreed that small businesses were important and that he deemed them a good thing if they showed compassion to their employees Ashfield nodded. “That is true. The employees working for a company or business are an essential part, the most essential maybe because without them there’d be no business anymore. A business rises and falls with its employees hence they have to be treated decently to be happy and do a good work for the company. An employer who treats his employees poorly shoots into his own leg on the long run.” The blond man said. “Are you unhappy with your current employer?” the governor asked out of curiosity and judging by the reaction of the man that had hinted that to him.

 

The surprise was clear to see when he heard that Kario’s parents both didn’t drive a car anymore. “Why?” he wanted to know. “Is there a specific reason that led to this decision? And how do you go to work? Is the store nearby enough to walk to it?” the governor wanted to know. He couldn’t imagine a life without a car and he didn’t even want to imagine a life without the Corporations private jet either.

 

He overheard the ‘not even politicians’ part that sounded negative and just recognised that the man agreed with him and could understand that it bucked Devon to not have any privacy anymore. However it didn’t escape him how the man looked after he had said that and Ashfield was certain he knew why. Kario’s father was worried that his son would lose all his privacy too and it was understandable especially considering that the black haired male’s privacy had too been violated by the media as well already and he knew that the man must have seen that compromising photo. “Please know that I will do everything I can to keep Kario out of the spotlight and media focus. I never wanted something like that to happen and for a partner of mine to have to deal with this and I am terribly sorry and I apologised for this mess as soon as I figured out it had happened.” The governor tried to assure his boyfriend’s father .

 

When Kario’s father said that Devon was at least not the worst governor their state had ever had he couldn’t keep himself from bursting out in laughter. “What a complement.” The blond said still laughing. “It’s always really pleasant to hear that there are people even worse than oneself.” the governor jested amused by this. But at least Kario’s parents didn’t seem to vigorously oppose him and hate him so that was actually good.

 

Devon’s eyes widened and he nearly choked on his coffee when he heard that his boyfriend had been only seven when he had tried to smoke. The blond turned towards the black haired and looked at him. “How did you even get the idea to smoke at such an early age?” he wanted to know as this was really uncommon. Which seven years old thought about smoking cigarettes? Ashfield certainly had thought about different things when he had been seven years old.

 

It wasn’t a pleasant feeling to have Kario’s father telling his son to watch out when around Andrew Ashfield because second hand smoking was dangerous although he could certainly understand why he said that but it still wasn’t nice to behold. “I won’t let my father behave like this towards the one I love.” Devon threw in with a determined face. He didn’t want the other to think that his father got a free pass at acting like this around his boyfriend.

 

He beamed at Kario and kissed his cheek when he said that those stories were embarrassing only to add another time how embarrassing they were. “I’m sure they aren’t. I’m certain that’ll find them incredibly cute.” The governor let the other know looking into the slightly blushed face. A laugh escaped him when Kario commented that hearing some of those stories might make him rethink that last part of what he had said. “No, I don’t think that’s possible.” He commented, grinning widely.

 

His instinctive response to Kario relaxing into his side was holding him closer towards himself . When his young lover told him why he had been so eager to keep her from telling that story and told him what she had been about to tell him the blond chuckled finding that rather amusing. It got even more amusing when his boyfriend’s mother added something to the story. “It indeed is quite adorable and funny. To think that you liked to be naked that much as a kid that you would like to go outside this way and cried when you couldn’t is definitely is cute and interesting to know.” The governor said his lips curled up in a smile while his golden eyes flashed up when he looked into Kario’s face clearly thinking about his adult boyfriend enjoying being naked and the look clearly saying that he surely wouldn’t object the man running around naked in the mansion or his huge garden that was more like a small park.

 

He got it that Kario didn’t want to talk about what he had done as a kid quite clearly by the way he looked at him and how he prepared for Ashfield to change the topic. The blond had not had anything particular to ask or say at the moment and for him it would have been okay to keep talking about his lover when he had been a kid. “Oh, I don’t know I actually like to talk about you, you’re my favourite subject.” The governor teased him slightly pinching into his side before he turned to the young man’s parents again. “I wanted to invite the two of you to my election/birthday celebration. It would be an honour to have you as my guests and I’d be glad if you accepted the invitation.” Ashfield invited them to the party. He would have liked to invited them to something else, considering how his birthday parties were but he would have thought it to be impolite if he didn’t invite his boyfriend’s parents even though his party was a colossal mess and not really cosy at all.

 

Then something else came into his mind and he turned to Kario again. “And I hoped that you’d show me your room, the room you grew up in, if it’s still there. I’m just really curious.” Ashfield stated. “I would have shown you my floor in my parent’s mansion if we ever were to visit there but my father made a bowling, billiard and darts area out of it with a bar. He also built a home cinema in my former bedroom and said that if I ever were to drag my arse under their roof again I should arrange myself with one of the ‘bloody’ guest rooms and make sure to not stay longer than a guest would.” He explained shrugging.

[Sathenus]

"So only men then." Kario agreed with a nod and small smile, his dark eyes moving back to lock with Devon's gaze. "After that picture has been all over the news and everything I don't think we'd have to worry about any women flirting with me either." He admitted with a small shrug. After something like that went viral he didn't see any women flirting with him in the future, and if any did then it had to be because they hadn't seem that picture yet. Though Kario truly felt as though that was impossible at this point as surely everyone in the city had seen it at already. The arms that had wrapped around his waist made him get more comfortable against Devon, resting his weight against the older man and enjoying their closeness.

 

His name being said in such a manner made a small smile cross his face as their eyes met once more. Of course Kario knew that Devon wanted him to quit teasing already and give him what he was really craving, but how could he just give in when the older man spoke in such a manner? That and it seemed as though he really just couldn't keep himself from teasing the politician. The reactions he always seemed to get from him by teasing him were to pleasing to pass up. But this wasn't really about torturing the other by teasing him either, he was supposed to just be giving him release over something he had caused by planting and keeping a fantasy in the older man's mind. So he was quick to move into position to where he could give the blonde's thick hard cock the attention it was craving and properly take care of his boyfriend's problem.

 

The sounds that Devon was making only made Kario happier, knowing that he was making him feel good. Their eyes locking together after he heard the deep aroused growl that came from Devon only encouraged him to go further and finally take the tip into his mouth. At that point he just had to give it some attention, his tongue swirling around tip before pushing past the other's foreskin to add to the pleasure. Trying to make sure that he was making up for the slight teasing he had done in the beginning. Their eyes were still locked on each other when he saw Devon's hands reach out for him and slip into his hair running through the dark strands. Kario could taste Devon's pre cum and even feel it dripping onto his tongue and into his mouth as he was sucking and running his tongue along the other's length. It was at that point that he felt Devon's hands press his head down just as the other's hips moved lightly to thrust his hard member further into his mouth and down his throat. Taking in a breath through his nose he rather easily accepted the man's full length as he was encouraged to take it.

 

His eyes remained locked with Devon's gaze the whole time, watching the other's expression which only made him even more happy to be pleasing him in this manner and to keep up his devoted sucks and licks. It didn't even bother him that Devon was thrusting into his mother harder, he just focused on continuing to give him the pleasure he wanted and was craving. It was clearly paying off, since he could tell how much the other man was enjoying it and how he was getting closer and closer to his own release. It was when he heard Devon's heated words telling him to make him cum that Kario leaned forward enough to very easily allow him to slip once more completely into his mouth. Lips coming to rest at the base and against his lover, tongue swirling around the length now buried in his mouth and throat, pressing his tongue along and stroking the thick veins in his boyfriend's cock. Kario was very determined to make Devon cum just like the man wanted, and he of course would not accept any other outcome.

 

"Well... yeah maybe Jeff and one of your father's bodyguards could pull it off, but I still find it unlikely that anyone would go through the trouble necessary to do so." Kario said knowing he really couldn't argue taht no one would be able to get past his lover's security. When Devon continued to tell him that security systems could be overcome and that was the problem with them and their weak points it made him frown. There was no way to ever gaurantee one hundred percent that no one would be able to invade the man's privacy, but he would have hoped to at least ease him enough to where he believed his own home would be a safe haven that no one would dare invade. But... was that true? Would someone cross that line and invade his boyfriend's privacy again by invading his own home? Kario felt like if anyone did that at least this time Devon could strike back because of the invasion not just to his privacy but his home. "But... if someone did invade your home like that wouldn't you be able to do something about it? Surely even though you are the governor they can't get away with invading your home." He asked curious about this.

 

When Devon said that he really should relax about this more he nodded his agreement, truly hoping that Devon would relax and be able to feel more comfortable about his privacy not being invaded within the walls of his own home. "I'd never do that to you either." He commented when the politician said that if he wouldn't mention it to anyone if he ever pissed him off then he would appreciate it if they could play that fantasy out together. No matter what, if Devon did piss him off for some reason he would never tell anyone about what they do in the bedroom. He probably wouldn't tell anyone about anything and just spend a little time alone to calm down get past whatever had pissed him off. A smile did cross his face though, happy to hear that Devon was accepting the fantasy more now and at least not as embarrassed about it. "It's settled then, we absolutely will play that fantasy out together." It really was, even if he did not end up in the military or as a member of the police force he'd play that fantasy out for the blonde at least once.

 

 

 

The hands that were running up his torso only seemed to make a pleased hum escape him as he let his eyes drift shut. Enjoying the feeling of Devon sucking on his neck and the hands on his body, it allowed him to completely forget what they had been discussing just a moment earlier that had caused him to blush in the first place. It wasn't until he felt Devon's hands stop on his nipples, starting to rub them at his eyes opened, dark gaze moving towards his boyfriend's face. Feeling how they went from rubbing them to pinching and pulling them as well which only seemed to send pleasant sparks through his body as he moaned. It really wasn't fair how sensitive his nipples seemed to be and how easy it was to make him feel good whenever they were given attention. At least he was able to wipe even that thought away when he had turned slightly to catch the older man's lips in a kiss feeling Devon leaning into it and deepening it. Yet another pleased and happy sound escaped him as he returned it, only bringing himself to break the kiss when he needed to breath though he kept their lips close together a small smile crossing his face. "You're quite the tease yourself you know. If you aren't teasing me with what you say, it's with your mouth on my skin or your hands playing with my body if not both at the same time." Kario said in a teasing manner, his voice soft considering how close they were. He was actually so focused on his boyfriend that for a moment he was completely unaware that they were still in the shower with water running over their bodies.

 

"That would be fun." Kario said rather excited by the idea. Having always wanted to visit the zoo when he was younger but not being able to because niether his sister nor brother wanted to go to the zoo too meant he was quite excited by the prospect of getting to go now. it didn't matter that he was in his early twenties and that such activities probably shouldn't excite him as much as they did, but he also knew that there was a lot he hadn't experienced that a lot of other people probably didn't think twice about. It just made the world seem all that more exciting to him, and he really did love animals and all. He was still excited at the prospect of them going to the zoo together -with or without friends- that when Devon told him he had only been to the fairs as an adult and only to open them and give a speech, talk to people and take pictures that he thought maybe they could do that together at some point too. "Maybe we could do that together too. It is a bit cliche but it would be kind of fun to make a date out of it." Kario said his eyes still having that sparkle of excitement in them. It really was easy to excite him it seemed, and doing things with Devon made things seem even better.

 

A slightly embarrassed laugh escaped him at the mention of not having pretended he had a tail, Kario could admit it was a bit of a strange thing to do. "It probably was one of the oddest things I did. But it was fun at the time." He replied with a sheepish smile. At the comment about the alligator again and hearing Devon call it stupid before saying he still didn't like him ended with Kario laughing a little himself. "That's true, and your mansion is beautiful." He said with a nod. It was thanks to the blonde's immagination that many rooms in that building even existed and he was looking forward to exploring them all eventually. "Most people suck at drawing at first. I am sure you really aren't that bad at it." He commented.

 

 

 

 

"I informed you about it more encase either of you heard yelling out here than anything." Kario admitted with a small shrug though yeah he had also done it in part to make sure that Michalski was aware of the fact that the man wasn't any sort of criminal and though he may do some suspicious things he was harmless. At Devon's next comment about it Kario just shrugged slightly, "Maybe. But despite being crazy at least he hasn't actually hurt anyone. Just creeps people out more than anything. At the very least he shouldn't be left alone, but unless things have changed then there is only a nurse that comes by to check on him."

 

"It's a shame really..." Enid said at the news that the governor's father had actually been raised prominently by his mother. Though there wasn't anything really wrong with that, she felt like young boy needed a more prominent influence from an adult man growing up. It made him wonder how children that were raised without any influence or barely any influence from one parent felt about such an upbrining. Surely they all had some sort of outlook on it. Though her husband played a more prominent role in her sons upbringing and she played a more prominent role in their daughter's they were active in all of their kids lives.

 

Kian listened as the other man spoke, telling him that he too thought that showing compassion for ones employees was essential. What he was not expecting was to be asked if he was unhappy with his employer. Had he made it that obvious? Kian hadn't thought so, but maybe that was something just gave off without knowing because it was so true. "I'm definitely not pleased." He admitted with a soft sigh. Even if this wasn't really something he discussed with or even really around his family, he didn't feel like it was a topic he should try to actively ignore either considering Devon seemed genuinely curious and had cared enough to ask. "It doesn't really matter though." He added after a small period of thought before he relaxed back against his seat once more, shifting to cross his legs and watch the two sitting on the couch together. His eyes taking in how they interacted with each other and unconsciously a small smile spread across his face.

 

"Close enough I suppose, maybe a thirty minute walk depending on how quickly I walk that day." He replied with a small shrug at the thought being drawn from his own thoughts and back to the conversation. "Gas prices played a role in our decision, but the biggest deciding factor was when it started costing to much to fix everything that kept going wrong with it and our inability to replace the vehicle itself. It just seemed easier to sell it as scrap and walk everywhere. It's great exercise at the very least." He added after a small moment of silence. Those really had been the deciding factors in their decision to walk everyone and not bother with a vehicle anymore. "It's made easier by the fact that now we do not have to worry about carting our children to doctors appointments and the such. We just have to worry about each other now."

 

Noticing Devon nearly chock on his coffee upon hearing he had only been seven at the time made his face flush even redder especially when his shocked and wide eyes moved to him. "I don't know." He mumbled though he remembered very clearly how they had decided to try smoking and it had actually been the idea of one of his friends. That didn't feel like something he should admit considering he already knew how Devon felt about the people he had been friends with growing up. If he learned this about them he was sure that the blonde would think even less of them than he already did. This was clearly something he wanted to avoid. Playing stupid and like he couldn't remember why he had decided to do so seemed like the better option. "It wasn't like our sitter made it hard they were sitting right on the coffee table." He muttered out after as though any kid would be tempted if something like that was presented to them. "She was sleeping on the couch..." At that he heard the disapproving snort from his father who was remembering when he had demanded to know what she had been doing when his son had been smoking. It was safe to say she had never been allowed to watch him again.

 

Kian's gaze turned to the governor when Devon told him he would not allow his father to do such a thing to the man he loved. "That's good to hear, Devon." He said with a small nod but it was clear he wasn't done talking there. "But being the governor and everything you can't be by my son's side constantly. Which means there is that chance he'd end up with your father without you. Correct?" Despite the fact that he asked if that was something that could actually happen it was clear by his gaze that he was already sure it was. Devon would end up quite busy as the governor and thus could not be with his son constantly leaving him to at some point be found in the presence of the governor's father without Devon himself being present.

 

"I guess some things kids just don't grow out of. I know you're more than aware that I still prefer running around naked." Kario replied in an amused tone hearing his mother laugh at the comment though the way his father tried averting his gaze meant the other man may not be completely comfortable hearing such a thing from his son. But it was true, he was sure he had already expressed to Devon at least once that he would prefer not having clothes on his body. The look in his boyfriend's gaze also clearly told him that Devon himself wouldn't mind him doing so. "The only difference is I may not cry if you tell me I can't, though I can't promise I won't complain and whine until you let me." He teasingly whispered into Devon's ear to ensure that his parents didn't hear him this time.

 

"That's sweet of you, we'd love to be there." Enid replied upon hearing that Devon wished to invite them to his election/birthday party. It would be a great chance to be around the two men again, and she had to admit the idea of going was actually quite pleasing. Though she knew her husband wouldn't be quite as pleased by the idea. He'd surely get over it, and it wasn't like they had to go to everything that they were invited to, but this was something she would not allow him to refuse.

 

Kario didn't really understand why Devon wanted to see the room he had when he was growing up, but before he could respond about whether or not his room was still there his father spoke up. "It's exactly the way he left it when he moved out. All of our kids rooms are, that way if need be they always have somewhere to come home to." This made Kario's face turn red again but it wasn't from embarrassment but a sudden sense of shame. He had known that upon moving out, that his parent's door was always open to him and he could come back if he needed to. But it had been that he would feel guilty if he had to burden them with looking after him again that had stopped him from coming home to them and instead sell himself. He was hoping that no one was really aware of this though as he tried to get it quickly under control.

 

Hearing Devon tell him about how his father had renovated the floor in his mansion that had once been Devon's while the man was growing up made him frown. Especially hearing that if he was to ever be under the man's roof again he could make himself comfortable in a guest room and stay no longer than a guest would. "That's... really mean..." He muttered out feeling terrible at the thought and he could see it in his mother's eyes as well. She too wasn't happy with a father saying such a thing to his son, and the look in her eyes made it clear she had a sudden urge to hug Devon and treat him as though he was five and not her age. Kario managed to avoid what would have been awkward had she gone through with it by slowly getting to his feet and holding his hand out to Devon. "Come on then, I'll show you my old room."

 

This was after all the perfect way to get a break from his parents and for Devon to get to know more about him. Once Devon had gotten to his feet and taken his hand he lead him out of the living room. Sparing Michalski a glance as he turned right to head towards the stairs, the moment his foot landed on the bottom step he gave Devon a look and a small smile. "These steps are a bit lopsided so be careful." Along with that they were definitely on the steeper side. Without saying anything else he lead him up the stairs and quietly towards the room that had been his since he did not want to disturb his brother and take the chance of him coming out to see what the cause of any noise was. Opening the old wooden door that creaked a little when pushed open he lead him into the small room. It was pretty much bare but a bed that was pressed against the far wall beneath the window. A dresser sat beside the door and was empty, a closet was to their left the door slightly ajar since it had broken long ago and wouldn't stay shut. The floor of the room was wood, and the walls had paint that was peeling in certain spots. The way the ceiling sloped made it clear there was no attic and depending on where in the room you stood you would have to slouch so you wouldn't hit your head on the ceiling.

 

"My room was technically an addition to the house. My brother's room is right next door, the wall separating our rooms was added to give all of us our own room." He admitted with a small shrug which certainly explained why the room was so small. Turning his gaze back to Devon he leaned up to kiss him real quick enjoying the small break that showing Devon his old room gave them from being under his parent's watchful gaze. Glancing once more around the room he spoke again, "You know... I never could get this window open." As he spoke he had moved towards the bed, fingers reaching out to run along the peeling windowsill and the window itself. He remembered as a kid trying repeatedly to get the window open on hot nights and being unable to do so. "I actually can't remember it ever being open. I don't think it even can." It was just a little thought of his own. Eyes looking out into the mess of a back yard. It was pretty much just dirt.
