Rurouni Kenshin/Kaoru, Kenshin, Realizations

Title: Realizations

Fandom: Rurouni Kenshin

Characters: Kaoru/Kenshin

Prompt: 084. The morning after

Word Count: 2839

Rating: T

Summary: the morning after the fight and Kaoru makes a decision, how will Kenshin react to that?

Author notes:

As the morning rays hit the windows of the estate, Kaoru was already sitting in her bed still dressed in yesterday’s clothes; her knees were drawn to her chest as she sat there in deep thought. After some time she finally got up from the bed and made her way towards the closet and picked out a familiar dark purple skirt and blue shirt, it was the same outfit that she wore when she first came into the estate.

As she headed towards the bathroom, she quickly took a shower and got dressed before going back into the room and kneeling next to the bed, pulling out her suitcase from under it

“It’s for the best, if Kenshin can’t trust me after all this time then it will never work out between us. I can’t stay here either; I can stand to see Kenshin every single day... No matter how much I love him... I need to leave … to save both of us the emotional pain” thought Kaoru as she began to pack her bag, talking only the things she brought with her.

After an hour of packing, she closed her bag and checked her watch, which read 6:16 am

“Good it’s still early, I hope Hiko-san is awake ... I need to talk to him alone without Kenshin ever knowing” thought Kaoru as she checked her appearance in the mirror one more time.

She took out a piece of paper and began to write, choosing her words carefully. When she was done, she placed it in an envelop and wrote a name before set it on the vanity table. She removed her ring from her finger and placed it on top of the envelop hoping that Kenshin can find it easily.

She sighed before exiting her room, not before bumping into Sanosuke who was walking in the hall.

“Oh I’m sorry Sano ... What are you doing so early?” said Kaoru

“Good morning to you too missy” smirked Sano

“Oh I’m sorry … good morning to you too” said Kaoru, her lips slightly moving upwards

“No big ... And to answer your question... I always get up early”

“You don’t seem like the type” Joked Kaoru

“Yeah well after sleeping in too much that makes you late for work and getting an earful from the old man ... One learns eventually” explained Sano

Kaoru giggles at the comment

“Sano do you know if Hiko-san would be awake at this time?” she asked

“Of course Missy ... The old man wakes up before day break... I even wonder sometimes if he even gets any sleep” joked Sano

“Do you know where I can find him?”

“Hmm well he always sits in his office to see what are the progresses of the company so I’m guessing that you’ll find him there ... why do you ask? Did something happen?” asked Sano concerned.

“No nothing happened Sano ... I just need to talk to him for a bit ... but thank you for asking ... you have been very kind to me” smiled Kaoru bowing respectfully at him

“Hey ... you don’t have to do that Missy, we’re cool” said Kaoru patting her head gently

Kaoru smiled as she raised her head to look at him for a moment before excusing herself and began to walk towards Hiko’s office. When she arrived, she stood there for a moment her hands twisting at each other as she raised a shaking hand to knock on the door

“Come in” a gruff voice came from the other side

She took a deep breath before opening the door and entering the room to find Hiko looking at some documents analytically. She stood there for a few seconds before Hiko raised his head to look at her

“Oh Kaoru ... I didn’t see you there” he smiled as he gestured towards a chair in front of his desk

“Good morning Hiko-san, I’m sorry to disturb you … I see that you were busy so I can come another time” smiled Kaoru bowing her head at him

“Nonsense ... now come on and have a seat and tell me what’s on your mind” smiled Hiko as he removed his glasses from his eyes.

“Thank you” said Kaoru as she sat down

“How are you Kaoru?”

“I’m going well thank you”

“That’s good to hear”

“Hiko-san ... I would like to talk to you for a while concerning something?”

“Is something wrong?”

“Oh no Hiko-san ... I just wanted to let you know that I will be returning to Tokyo today” Kaoru bent her head low and took a deep breath

Hiko was taken back at Kaoru’s words, he leaned forward on his desk as his eyes held worry in him, but he still kept his composure.

“Does this have anything to do with last night? Is this because that idiot of mine?” asked Hiko gruffly

“No, not at all Kenshin didn’t do anything” Kaoru’s head shot up

“Cut the bullshit Kaoru, you don’t have to protect that idiot son of mine, he doesn’t deserve it. I know what happened last night”

“y-you know?” asked Koru in surprise

“Yes I know, Kenshin explained everything to me”

“Well then you know of our situation then”

“Yes I do”

“Hiko-san, you have been nothing but kind to me and I see you like a second father to me, but I can’t stay here knowing that Kenshin doesn’t trust me like I trust him” Said Kaoru as her eyes began to fill in tears.

“I don’t blame you for this; you have every right to break this engagement however I can’t just let you leave Kaoru, your father asked me to take care of you”

“And I thank you for everything that you’ve done for me, but I still can’t stay ... please Hiko-san I need to do this” said Kaoru softly as a tear escaped her eye.

Hiko stood up from his chair and made his way towards Kaoru, kneeling next to her and wiping the tears that were falling from her eyes.

“Then go” he said

Kaoru’s restraint broke loose as she burst into tears and hugged the large man; Hiko returned the hug as he rubbed her back to try to sooth the girl in his arms

“You don’t deserve this Kaoru” thought Hiko

After a few minutes, Kaoru’s sobs died down as she pulled away from Hiko

“Thank you for understanding Hiko-san” she said

“Don’t worry about it too much; you deserve to make your own choices” Said Hiko smiling down at her. “I will tell the driver to take you home”

“Thank you, but I would prefer to take a cab I don’t want Kenshin to follow me by asking the driver where I am”

“You have a point, but at least let me pay for your cab fees”

“Thank you Hiko-san ….. You don have to”

“I want to Kaoru ... please it’s the least I can do” said Hiko smiling down at her

Kaoru smiled back and nodded

“You will write will you? I would like to know how you are doing every now and then” suggested Hiko

“Yes I will write” agreed Kaoru

“Then go Kaoru and good luck” said Hiko as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a few hundred dollar bills, which Kaoru reluctantly accepted

They both stood up facing each other, Kaoru smiled as she bowed her head at him before Hiko nodded at her. She smiled as she walked out of the room.

Kenshin was lying on his back as he stared at the ceiling above him, he too wasn’t able to get any sleep, both Kaoru’s tears and words were haunting his thoughts as he rubbed his eyes. He knew that he and Kaoru need to talk about yesterday, he also knew that he needed to apologize for the way he acted yesterday

“I’ve been a complete ass yesterday, I shouldn’t have accused her like that … she has every right to be made at me ... I just hope she’ll listen to me” thought Kenshin as he got up from bed.

He got dressed in a polo shirt and jeans before calling Shura and informing her to cancel all his meetings today because he won’t be coming in today. He waked out of the room and with heavy footsteps he stood in front of Kaoru’s bedroom door, debating on how to take his approach; he lifted a hand and carefully knocked on the door waiting for a reply

But there was none

“Kaoru …Kioshii… are you awake? We need to talk” he said from behind the door but still no reply

He opened the door slowly, half expecting to see Kaoru in tears and half expected to have a vase thrown at him, but instead he was looking in an empty room.

“Bathroom maybe” he thought as he made his way towards the bathroom, only to see the door open and the room empty.

“Where could she be?” thought Kenshin as he scanned the room until he spotted something shining on the vanity table.

He made his way towards the table, when he got close enough he hands started trembling at the objects. He lifted his hand and picked up the engagement ring that he gave Kaoru from the table.

“No she couldn’t have “he though as he stared at the ring for a moment before snatching the envelop, tearing it gently and reading the content of the letter

Dear Kenshin,

last night was a real eye opener, for a very long time I knew that we are both attracted to each other very much and love each other, but after last night I’ve come to a realization, that even though both people are attracted to each other it doesn’t mean that they are made for each other. I’m sorry I had to do this way, call me a coward but I believe that it would have been very hard on both of us if I did it any other way.

Thank you for everything you did for me, I am truly grateful to you and I forgive you for last night but I’m afraid that I can’t face you as well. I’m assuming that when you read this letter I would have already talked to your father and left this place, I’m sorry again but I can’t stay here anymore.

Please don’t blame yourself about what happened, I’m sure that both our fathers will understand our situation besides I am the one who broke the engagement so you can relax, please don’t come after me

Good luck with your life Kenshin... I truly hope that you’ll be happy and someday settle down with someone who adores you as much as you adored me.

With love,

Kaoru Kamiya

Kenshin stared at the letter in his hand, he read it three times before he got over the shock of what happened, and his other hand which was clutching the ring was trembling in rage. He raced our of the room and ran towards his father’s office before slamming the door open, Hiko was sitting calmly at his desk, a glass of whiskey in his hand as he looked at Kenshin, as if he was expecting him to come

“Looks like he found the note” though Hiko as he took a sip of his drink

“Is there anything you been idiot” said Hiko calmly

“Anything I need? Anything I need! I need you to tell me where is Kaoru is?” spat Kenshin as he made his way towards the desk

“She left”

“I know she left! Tell me where did she go?” yelled Kenshin as he slammed his hands on the desk

“She asked me not to tell you and I’m honoring her wish”

“I need to talk to her and straighten things out”

“Listen Kenshin whether you like it or not, you screwed up so I suggest that you start taking responsibility for what you did. You have no right to come in here and demand things you don’t deserve”

“She is mine father and I won’t let her go”

Hiko just stood up and walked around the table before raising his fist and punching Kenshin in the cheek

“You idiot! You lost that right last night” yelled Hiko

Kenshin stared at Hiko, his eyes were filled with emotions that Hiko has never seen in Kenshin’s eyes and just as fast as Kenshin entered the room, he made his way out.

“Don’t you dare look for her Kenshin ... you should honor her wish and leave her alone” said Hiko before Kenshin exited the room.

Kenshin looked over his shoulder on last time before continuing on his way towards his room, he opened the door and slammed it shut before grabbing his cell phone and dialing Kaoru number

The number you have dialed has been disconnected, please try a different number

Kenshin growled as he threw the phone across the room before punching the wall beside him multiple times in rage

“Father is right, I don’t deserve her” thought Kenshin ignoring his throbbing fist and cheek as he slide down the wall, fingering the ring in his hand

A knock on the door alerted Kenshin as a maid came in and bowed respectfully

“Hello Tae, I wont be needing anything so please leave” said Kenshin

“Sir there is a gentleman here to see you” informed Tae

“Tell him to come another time; I’m not in the mood to meet anyone”

“But he says it’s urgent”

“Did he give you a name?”

“Soujiro Seta”

Kenshin raised his head and looked at Tae

“Why is Soujiro here? Did he come looking for Kaoru? Maybe he knows where she is” thought Kenshin as he stood up

“Send him in my office, I’ll be there shortly”

Tae nodded before exiting the room, closing the door behind her. Kenshin stood up and began to walk towards his office, upon reaching it he opened the door to see Soujiro sitting on the couch with a woman next to him.

“Himura” said Soujiro standing up

“Seta would you like anything to drink” said Kenshin stiffly

“No thank you Himura, may I introduce to you my wife Sakura” said Soujiro gesturing towards the woman who stood up and bowed

“Wife?” asked Kenshin, eyes widening

“Yes my wife, I took Kaoru to meet her yesterday”

Kenshin’s body suddenly went numb as he tried to comprehend the information given to him, his thoughts were running with the words the he told Kaoru yesterday, he even called her a whore indirectly

“Oh god what have I done” thought Kenshin as his body sank down on the chair

“Yes I know this is a shock to you Himura but I have to ask where is Kaoru” asked Soujiro as he sat back down

“She left” murmured Kenshin his eyes cast to the floor

“What do you mean she left?” asked Sakura

“Kaoru …. Kaoru and I had an argument yesterday and I accused her of many things... she was furious yesterday and when I came to find her she was already gone” explained Kenshin

“What kinds of things?” asked Soujiro

“I….I…. I accused her of sleeping with you, that you two were bringing back memorizing of a chance …… romance between you two when you two were in college”

“You’re really that stupid Himura? Kaoru is like a sister to me and we never had any attractions between us”

“I know that now”

“So what are you going to do about it”

“I don’t know”

“Idiot you should find her and apologize”

“I don’t deserve her after what happened last night”

“That may be true, but I know that Kaoru loves you very much, she told me so much about you and no one would make her happy other than you” explained Sakura

“She said that?”

Sakura nodded

Kenshin smiled a bit and raised his head

“I’m sorry for judging you Seta-san” he apologized

“No harm done, but if you ever hurt Kaoru like that again I will never forgive you and come after you myself” warned Soujiro, his playful smile plastered on his face

“I won’t”

Soujiro checked his watch and stood up, talking Sakura’s hand

“We better go our plane leaves in an hour” he said

“I understand, but I would like to invite you and your wife to the wedding if Kaoru ever forgives me” smiled Kenshin

“We’ll be there” said Soujiro shaking Kenshin’s hand before leaving the room

Kenshin stood there, fingering the ring in his pants pocket before walking towards his desk, sitting down in the chair and picking up the phone.

“I cant give her up … I need to talk to her … I need to know if there is any hope for us” thought Kenshin, making up his mind as he listened to the phone ring, after a short while a gruff “what” came from the other end

“Hello Saitou … I need you to find someone for me”

Fandom: Ouran High School Host Club
Characters/Pairings: Haruhi/Kyouya
Word Count: 898
Rating: PG
Prompt: #77 - Organize
Author's Note: Second chapter of the Mission series.
Summary: The team comes together, and Kyouya is confronted by uncomfortable thoughts.

Kyouya was setting out the blueprints when the team filed in.

“Take a look, each of you, and mark the entrances you would prefer to utilize, including methods of escape and back-up plans for those exits.”

Six heads bent over the papers, and soon the sound of scratching pencils filled the room.

There was nothing he liked to hear more, Kyouya thought, than the sounds of good minds at work.

While each team already leaned towards particular talents, Kyouya still preferred to see what each could come up with, when given the chance.

Haruhi was the first to look up and meet his gaze, so he walked over to examine her plans.

As the newest member of the organization (much less of one of the acting teams), her work should have needed the most improvement, but instead, it was flawless. If Kyouya hadn’t decided weeks ago that he was going to keep her on, it would have been terribly frustrating.

As it was, he merely nodded and moved on, glancing over Tamaki’s work next – insane, as usual, but so impossible that it would likely serve as well as any other plan he had hatched. The twins’ papers were a maze of twists and turns that only they could keep up with, once put into action.

Next was Morinozuka, and likewise, his usual, straightforward attack seemed simple – until you layered his plans with Haninozuka’s. This had long ceased to surprise Kyouya, so he looked at Honey’s plans with fortitude, despite their seemingly random and inefficient markings. Later he would overlay the plans, and check everyone else’s work, as well. It would be irresponsible in the extreme for him to do otherwise – their lives were literally in his hands, and he had never been cavalier in his commitments.

The two were a force to be reckoned with; actually, all three of his teams were, which pleased him beyond words. Though he couldn’t take all of the credit for their innate skills, he could claim the privilege of being the one who had called them out, and found perfect uses for them.

Honey and Mori’s teamwork had taken more intuition than tactical ability to determine they could be one of his perfect teams, while the twins had been quite an easy decision, once you saw past their flippancy.

Tamaki had taken some thought, and, surprisingly enough, firsthand experience to decide Kyouya in his favor. It was always a good thing when your opponent underestimated you, and the blond had never failed him on that point. Though they were not the most inconspicuous of people, every team had the advantage of a thick protection - in being exactly who they were.

It didn’t hurt, of course, that they had been perceived as quite aimless before taking up ‘international business concerns;’ their families supported the work they thought them to be doing.

“Gather whatever tools you’re going to need from Nekozawa, and your firearms from Kasanoda. We’ll need to break in sometime in the next two weeks; after that, the corporation plans will be moving location, to a much more high-security facility.”

Kaoru nodded almost imperceptively across the table – he would be hacking into the mansion’s security and any possible digital system on the grounds. That included video, as the teams generally disdained wearing masks, despite Tamaki’s plea to use his family’s jewel-encrusted ball masks.

Hikaru would meanwhile assemble the necessary outfits for rappelling, climbing, hiding weapons, lock picks and anything else Mori and Honey would decide necessary.

The black suits they usually used for covert missions would only need the newest bullet-proof fabric sewn inside, and the belts altered for each team’s specific needs.

Tamaki and Haruhi would attempt to make contact with the mansion’s inhabitants in the two weeks allotted to them; Kyouya already had an invitation to a party there in four day’s time in his pocket.

This was not, alas, as easy as it sounded, for they had found (to their dismay) that Haruhi was no good at playing the role of a lady, and though Tamaki and the others were coaching her in their free time, it was going to take much for her to learn the subtleties of upper class mannerisms.

Besides which, she was an indifferent learner at best, prodded along by the men’s assurances that it would be worth it.

Kyouya was tempted to just have Kaoru dress the part, but he already had a task, and in the long run it would be better for their lone female member to be the one taking female roles, and getting used to the social masks they all had to wear, at some time or another.

Kyouya was a firm believer in sticking as closely to the truth as you could, in such situations. It made crisis clean up so much easier.

It was still extremely disconcerting, however, to run across Haruhi not two hours later, in a floor-length dress that emphasized her female status, with diamond earrings sparkling to match a necklace that proclaimed both good background and wealth, and fake hair piled high on her head.

Tamaki appeared a moment later, lecturing on proper posture for a lady, and Kyouya moved aside to let them practice walking.

He was irritated much later, to realize that that first glance at her stayed stuck in his mind, right up until the moment he fell asleep that night.

Prompt: #81 - Wild
Author's Note: Part of the Married series.
Summary: A school reunion gets violent.

The only time Haruhi saw Kyouya act towards anyone with physical violence was when she was six months pregnant, and they had gone back to Ouran for a school reunion.

As far as Haruhi was concerned, the gesture had been a kind one, but Kyouya hadn’t taken it that way; he’d been stressed already from the dual pressures of taking over three new companies, and trying to prepare for being a father (not a circumstance he had ever realistically considered before it was too late for mere consideration).

So when Takeshi-san offered her a basket full of oranges, saying it would be good for the baby, she’d barely had a chance to take it and say ‘thank you’ before Kyouya had kicked the other man in the stomach.

The room had fallen silent as Kuze landed a few feet away, breath completely knocked from his lungs.

Kanan was shaking her head in disapproval on the sidelines. “I told you…” she began on her husband, and then Haruhi was being whisked away by Tamaki, Mori having done the honors of dragging Kyouya away from his long-time rival.

Hikaru was wheezing with laughter by the time they made it to a private room, and though Tamaki looked concerned, he was also barely holding back chuckles, behind his concern.

To no one’s surprise, they avoided school-wide events the next time Haruhi was pregnant.

Prompt: #64 - Rough
Author's Note: Part of the Regency series.
Summary: Haruhi has her first pleasant introduction to the Quality: Honey and Mori.

Haruhi was enjoying Almack’s.

She hadn’t expected to, not from the comments Lords Ootori and Hitachiin made, but because of their disgust with the sea of white-wrapped debutantes, they hadn’t shown up.

So she was blissfully free to talk to whoever she liked, and to stroll around with her glass of lemonade and turn down dance offers.

“Miss Fujioka,” came the voice of one of her hostesses. “If I may…”

Haruhi turned and smiled at the older woman, and turned a polite face to two young men, one very tall, and one very short, who stood behind her.

“I believe I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to Viscount Kayrou, Lord Haninozuka and Lord Morinozuka,” she said, raising her eyebrows at the young woman. Haruhi didn’t remember seeing them at any other gatherings, and curtsied, wondering why she was being singled out.

As polite talk ensued, the hostess’s smile dimmed; there seemed to be nothing gossip-worthy going on between the three, and when someone else beckoned, she left with only one regretful glance.

“Miss Fujioka,” the short man bowed with a shy smile. “It’s very nice to meet you. Our friends have spoken of you so often, we felt it was necessary to seek you out.”

Inside, Haruhi’s expression froze.

“Your friends?” she inquired, hoping against hope…

“Ah, yes,” he nodded enthusiastically. “Suou-chan and Hita-chan are always talking about you.”

Haruhi wondered exactly how rude it would be if she was to back away, quickly.

“We don’t often come to town,” came a low voice, and Haruhi realized it was the first time the tall man had spoken.

“Oh?” she asked, sincere curiosity stopping her thoughts of retreat. “Then what’s the special occasion?”

The two exchanged uneasy glances, and Haruhi felt the first stirrings of compassion. They looked just like the young men who were standing around the floor, surreptitiously fingering their neck cloths, their attendance forced by hen-pecking mothers.

“Well, you see, the thing is…” Lord Haninozuka babbled, looking even more anxious. "It's not that..."

“Mitsukuni must marry,” Lord Morinozuka explained bluntly.

Haruhi blinked in surprise.

“Oh.”

“Yeah,” came the plaintive agreement from the blond, who was now slumped even lower. “I don’t even know any women except for Mother, but Father insisted that it had to be this year… so when Suou-chan talked about you, Takashi thought you might be able to help.”

The dark-haired man turned a bit red at having his suggestion stated to the woman concerned, but didn’t withdraw the words, either.

“Help?” Haruhi asked, not quite understanding.

“Yeah!” Lord Haninozuka seemed to gain confidence now that their intentions had been stated. “Because you know some women, right?”

Haruhi had a hard time, holding back an incredulous laugh.

“I suppose that’s true,” she reluctantly agreed.

“Yay!” There was no chance of not being charmed by the shorter man, who was looking like a different person now that he had some new hope for himself. He neatly bounced in place with glee. The simple faith that his problems could be solved so easily was refreshing, if not utterly misplaced.

Well, she thought with amused resignation, she had been wanting something to do.

From: H
Subject: You wore those tight black jeans!

How do you expect me to fill out paperwork when you're wearing those jeans? They hug your ass so nicely, makes me want to cup that tight little butt and just squeeze. I swear you’re teasing me, Speed. Bending over that microscope wiggling that jean clad ass. One day I'm going to stalk down to the Trace Lab and bend you over the workstation, rip down your jeans exposing that firm ass for all to see. Then I'm going to lick you open... I know how much you love getting rimmed; your hole quivering for my tongue, wanting and needing. And once I get you opened, cool and slicked I'm going to slam my hard aching cock into you, and pound into you until you're scream my name through the Lab.

Are you hard and aching now? Can you feel the cold work bench under you, my wet tongue licking you..? Are you shaking Speed? Wanting my mouth? My hard cock slamming into you?

I told you I'm not responsible for my actions when you wear those jeans.

Tonight, your ass is mine!

Subject: FW: You wore those tight black jeans!

Timmy,

I don't think this was intended for our eyes. Though I have to admit it’s good to know that your partner loves you dearly and is obviously very attracted to you. Horatio is a good man for you, I like him. You need to bring him home this Christmas.

By the way your brother has some questions for you so call him.

Love,

Mom

PS - Your father wants to know what 'Rimming' is.

~*~

Timothy Speedle stared at the email in shock. There was no way in hell his lover had sent a sex email to his MOTHER! He re-read it a few dozen times then promptly groaned and slammed his head onto the nearest desk.

Repeatedly.

"I'm going to kill him..."

"Kill who?" Eric asked walking into the Trace Lab. He glanced over Speed's shoulder. "Oh God... that's just... Oh God!"

"Yeah." Timothy looked over at him. "I'm not sure if I should move to a far distant planet or drag Horatio to Syracuse just to watch him squirm when my dad asks about Rimming."

Eric shook his head and pushed Speed away from the computer. He started to reply before Tim could stop him.

"What the fuck are you doing?" he demanded in a low growl.

"Going to forward this to Horatio and detail out a good rim job since you gave me one last night..." Eric smirked over at him. "Then we can wait for the scream from his office when he realizes where the email went first."

"You're evil..." Tim smirked. "I'm such a bad influence on you."

Delko grinned wickedly. "Though Horatio has a point. When you wear those jeans," he looked pointedly at the tight black jeans that molded to his lovers shapely legs and thighs. "Makes me want to bend you over your bike and fuck you in front of everyone, just to make sure they know you're taken."

"Oh come on, it's not like anyone really..." Tim picked up his pen then turned to see Calleigh staring at his ass through the glass walls. "She doesn't count; she's a pervert much like you and Horatio."

"I love her so much." Eric grinned and waved at Calleigh.

She blew him a kiss and went on her way.

Speed shook his head and started back to work on the case, ignoring Eric's evil snickering as he typed away on the email.

To: Speedles
From: Timothy
Subject: Re: Fwd: You wore those tight black jeans!

Rimming: Oral stimulation of the anus using mouth and/or tongue, as a prelude to anally penetrative sexual contact. Form of foreplay. May often be referred to as anilingus.

Or to put in a terms you can understand. It’s where lay you out on our bed, spread your legs open wide until your hole is fully stretched and waiting for my tongue. Then I lean forward and lick across it, over your balls, then swallow you down whole. But not to get distracted by that hard cock pulsing in my mouth, I release my treat with a swipe of my tongue across the head, tasting your leaking cum. As you whimper in need I move my head between your legs and lick across the opening, before dipping my tongue into the tight hole, licking and sucking until you open up and let my tongue dive further in, searching for that sweet spot. I can hear you moaning and whimpering wanting more... yes, wanting more. And while I have you quivering with need, Speed takes your aching, leaking cock into his mouth swallowing you down as you scream your release.

Once our lover sucks everything from you he'll take my mouth into a deep kiss sharing your cum, so we both can savor your essence. You'll lay there legs spread wide waiting for one of us to ride you hard, but which one of us will it be?

You'll have to wait until tonight to find out.

Are you hard H?

Shaking with need?

Or did you come in that fancy suit of yours just thinking about it?

Until tonight

Eric

~*~

"Oh Fuck NO!!" Eric clicked on the inbox, and then hit the keys while screaming at the helpless computer. "NO!!"

"Eric?" Timothy looked up in shock when he heard his lover scream at the monitor. "Do I want to know?"

The younger man looked up from the computer with his best puppy eyes. "I might have forgotten to change the address."

"Might have?" Tim's voice was eerily calm.

"Okay I did. I just sent a detailed description of Rimming and what we plan to do to Horatio when we get home tonight…to your mother."

"I'm giving you a five minute head start.”

Eric gaped at him.

Speed growled, “Hell forget that, you got five seconds."

Eric ran for his life.

Speed picked up his ringing phone. "Speedle."

'Care to explain why I have Eric hiding under my desk, and not giving me a blow job?' Horatio asked curiously.

Timothy heard his email notification bleep at him. "Tell him he's only got a few minutes to live, basically depending on how fast I get up those stairs." He hung up the phone and stared at his inbox. ‘Suck it up Speedle you've dealt with worse,’ he thought dryly.

To: Timmy
From: Mom
Subject: Re: FW: You wore those tight black jeans!

You know I we love you Timmy, and support all that you do. But knowing about gay sex is one thing; compared to have it described so um…clearly.

Though I can see that wasn't you, but your other lover, Eric.

Yes we know.

Clorinda and I chat all the time. Such a sweet lady. I forwarded this on to her, figured she would find the humor in it.

Breathe, honey. It's not the end of the world. Though I think your father is a little traumatized by the graphics.

Now that the 'BIG' secret is out, your father and I will be coming down to see you and your lovers. We can have a BBQ with the Delko's, and that nice young lady Calleigh.

You're not sleeping with her too are you?

Just checking because I know you said you didn't like girls at all.

Now take good care of Horatio.

I'll call tomorrow sometime to discuss arrangements for us coming down.

Love

Mom

PS - Clorinda says to tell her son to stop hiding and take it like a man! And from the descriptive words in Eric’s email he seems to take it that way on a regular basis.

Subject: Re: FW: You wore those tight black jeans!

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.

My lovers are insane, but I do love them. They are good for me, but at the moment I'm going to kill them.

Both.

Actually I'm going to make Eric call his mom first. *evil laughter*

And please God tell me you aren't talking with Alexx?

Wait, stupid question, of course you are.

Sit dad in front of the playboy channel he'll be fine.

Love your son

Tim

PS. Ewee!! Mom I’m not sleeping with Calleigh! Don't give her ideas!

To: Timmy
From: Mom
Subject: Re: FW: You wore those tight black jeans!

No killing your lovers.

Of course we talk to Alexx, daily.

Someone has got to keep an eye on you.

Don't encourage your father!

Now shoo go play nice with Horatio and Eric

By the way I saw this website: www.kinkandu.com - it looked interesting so you should check it out. There are some gifts we can buy you boys for Christmas.

Love

Mom

~*~

"I'm so not telling my mother I have that bookmarked already," Tim muttered as he shut down the computer. "Now I have to deal with Dumb and Dumber."

He headed out of the Lab, and passed a smirking Calleigh and a grinning Alexx. He just rolled his eyes as he walked up the stairs and into Horatio's office.

He closed the door locked it, and then closed the blinds. Horatio just sat back in his chair and watched him.

"Care to explain?" he asked.

"Is he still hiding?" Speed sat on the desk and looked over at the redhead.

"As far back as he can get, which considering is pretty far." Horatio looked down at Eric who was curled up in a ball. "Are you coming out?"

"No." Eric shook his head.

"I promise not to kill you," Tim sighed.

"What did you do?" Horatio asked as Eric climbed out from under the desk.

"You started it!" the younger man pointed accusingly.

"What did I do?" the redhead demanded, startled by Eric’s accusation.

"The email, the one about my tight fitting jeans that get you so hot you’d like to bend me over the workstation and fuck me." Speed looked over at his redhead. "That email... the one you sent to my mother, instead of me."

"I did not." Horatio scooted his chair forward, pulled up his email and saw the address. "Oh God..."

"It gets better. Moron here replied back, and forgot to change the address to you, and detailed exactly what a rim job was. He’s traumatized my father." Speed glared at their younger lover, who was clearly trying to get back under the desk.

"Oh God..." Horatio was turning the color of his hair as he leaned back in his chair. "Why do I have the feeling that's not half of it?"

"Come to find out, Mom and Clorinda have been talking, they know about the three of us, and now that we've 'come out' my parents are coming down and want to have a BBQ with the whole family, that's including Calleigh and Alexx and family. Oh and she asked if we were screwing Calleigh." Speed watched with glee as mutually horrified expressions hit both of his lovers simultaneously.

"My mom knows?" Eric asked his voice squeaking.

"And I quote, 'Tell Eric to stop hiding and take it like a man'." He was enjoying this way too much.

"I'm never going to be able to face my family ever again," Eric whined. The three men looked at Eric's phone when it chirped. "I'm not answering that."

Horatio reached over and grabbed it. "Hello Mrs. Delko. Yes we're doing fine this afternoon. Eric is trying to hide under my desk again…" Speed's eyebrow went up when he saw his lover blush. "Not this time..." He handed the phone over to Eric. "Talk to your mother."

"This isn't fair," Eric grumbled as grabbed the phone that was thrust in his face. "We can't torment you with Yelina...!"

"That’s because she would want to watch. Like Calleigh." Speed pointed out.

"Hi mom." Eric rubbed the back of his neck. "I see...so...how long...the WHOLE TIME! No I'm not yelling. Mass…well...see you Sunday. Love ya." He hung up the phone. "Mom wants us all to attend Mass on Sunday." Both men stared at him. "Look I know neither of you has set foot in a church in ages, but..."

Horatio stood up and kissed Eric to shut him up. "We'll go with you."

Eric pulled him close and kissed him back. "I'm kinda glad this worked out the way it did, we don't have to hide now any more."

"Embarrassing as hell..." Tim shook his head. "But as much as I would love to stay here and dirty up H's desk, I do have to finish my analysis."

"Tonight," Horatio grinned at his scruffy lover. "It's just the three of us."

Speed leaned over the desk and gave Horatio a quick kiss. "I plan on licking every inch of your body Lieutenant Caine." He smirked as he and Eric made their way out of the office.

Horatio sat back down at his desk and pulled his email back up.

To: Speedles
From: H
Subject: I can't believe it worked.

I'm still embarrassed as hell, but the plan worked.

See you in a few weeks.

H.

Horatio signed off with a wicked grin.

He had plans for tonight, and rimming was just the appetizer.

He looked at the phone in his hand, a thing dead and black and cold, listening to the conversation re-play on an endless loop in his head.

He came to, lying flat on his back with a cool hardwood floor beneath him and the stench of paint in his nostrils, arms cast wide to either side. He didn't know how he had gotten there - had gotten back - or exactly where he had been, but back he was, and she was there, behaving as though he had never been away.
