I'm Still But a Man
Chapter 9
Yu Ri walked into the living room and heard a classical piece playing on the stereos all over the hotel apartment. L was standing in front of the windows, his hair was dripping wet and shirt half tucked into his pants. Yu Ri walked next to him. "You didn't go to the dinner." L stated, not looking away from the city view infront of him. "I rarely do with colleagues." "Hmm..." was the only response she got from the strangely well posed man.
Lawliet felt his fury subsiding, the jealousy didn't burn as bright. Yu Ri was home, with him. She hadn't gone out with the man. If she had, she wouldn't be home so early. Maybe he had just made a rushed conclusion. After all, it was not part of the plan for other men than the CEO to ask her out, other young handsome and rich men. There had never before been a moment when he had wished he could interfere and stop the whole investigation than the moment that man had walked into her office with such a seductive smile on his face that L was 100 % sure of his intentions. He couldn't stop the investigation so the next best thing had been eating cake, complaining to Watari and sulking.
Now he felt better, still a bit shaken but better. That feeling lasted until he felt warm fingers caresing his sides. Slowly they travelled closer to the edge of his belt that was still unbuckled. L gulped, his brain was trying to catch him. She's tucking the hem of my shirt in my pants. He involuntarily closed his eyes and enjoyed the her touch, enjoyed the feel of those very same fingers he had dreamt of on multiple occasions... doing multiple things, some less innocent than others.
All thoughts ceased to exist when her fingers dipped into his pants. The hem of his shirt prevented most of the skin contact but the second her finger slipped from the fabric and caressed his hipbone he almost lost control. Her back was against the window, her hands above her head and a detective, who at that moment defined the word masculinity, was hovering only few inches away in a millisecond. "You shouldn't touch me so freely. There's no quarantee of what I'll do to a lady like you. You date criminals, I catch them...but I'm still but a man." His deep voice sounded rough with all the feelings he was holding back. Yu Ri felt a chill and for the first time she saw Lawliet as he was... With his dreams, his hopes, his hatred, his pain, his loneliness, his needs and his desires. A Man.
