Selfish Lovers 21

Chapter 21

XXXXXXX

Noah is in his hotel room staring out the window and worried about Traci. This is his fault but he couldn't help himself tonight. When he saw Taki with Marc and he had his arm around him acting like the cock of the walk it pissed him off.

The reason he left Taki wasn't that he fell in love with Traci but because he found himself falling deeply in love with him and he knew it wouldn't last. Leaving him for Traci was a way to distance him from a love that is frown upon by people in the business world. When he first met Traci, she was a challenge to him, cold and unapproachable. He loved teasing her and making her laugh. She didn't know how to make love when he met her. He taught her how to make love and be loved.

He thought he would never see Taki again and he was fine with it but seeing him again, brought up all the nights they spent together telling each other their dreams and ambitions. Taki dreaming about being a professional dancer, him wanting to be successful in business, was something they shared back then.

Knowing he has found his dream and seems happy is something that should make him happy, but it's a problem. He can't help but be a little jealous of Marc because Taki is a very beautiful and passionate man.

He thought he would never see Taki again and now he is with that asshole, Marc. He does not like Marc because of what he did to Katou and Iwaki and he thinks he will end up hurting Taki, but he is the one that hurt Taki not Marc.

Well right now, he has to think about what he is going to say to Traci because he is not going to lose her. He walks over to the phone and picks it up he tells the operator he wants to place a call. At the same time, his cell phone rings. He hangs up the phone and picks up his cell. He says a few words, hangs up and heads for the door smiling to himself.

At the same time, Marc and Taki are in his living room sitting side by side on the sofa.

Marc gets up walks over to the bar and looks at Taki over his shoulder, "You want something, I'm having a drink. After tonight I think I need one."

Taki leans back and closes his eyes, "Pour me a glass of wine. I don't want anything heavy; I have to be in shape tomorrow. I'm glad you brought me home, Marc. You are truly a treasure. I might have gotten into an accident on my way home."

Marc hands him his wine, "There is no way I was going to let you drive and you have to quit blaming yourself for Noah's actions tonight. He should have told Traci about you from the beginning instead of at the club."

Taki sips his wine, "Well, when we got back to the table the two of you were gone so we wanted to know where you were. Everyone was trying to avoid eye contact so that might have upset her but I knew right away what was going on that's why I went to the back. I did not want the two of you fighting over me. I was surprised that Noah would say anything about me to you, seeing that he is with a woman now. I would think he wanted to keep me his dirty little secret. Yet here he is telling the woman he left me for, he was once with me, how strange."

Marc pours another drink and notices he has to bring some more liquor to Taki's house. He walks over to where Taki is sitting, "You sound as if you are enjoying him making a fuss over you. Are you happy about that?"

Taki looks up in his face, "Don't be silly, of course not. I just find this whole thing strange because he has not seen or contacted me in almost three years and now he blows it all to warn you not to hurt me. It's like he still cares about me and I'm not buying it. He must not like you for some reason, have you ever done anything to him?"

Marc frowns, "Not that I can think of. Then I do have a tendency to piss people off without my knowledge. I guess it's my personality but that's just the way I am. You don't mind it do you?"

"I like you just the way you are, don't change a thing. Besides I love your arrogance, you are so unapproachable that it took me awhile to get to know you. I use to watch you with women and wish I were in their shoes. You didn't stay with one more than twice and you did treat them rather cold as if they were a nuisance to you. That's why it took me so long to talk to you the way I did that night, but to tell you the truth, I was teasing you when I invited you to the back room. I never thought you would take me up on my offer but I'm glad you did. I will never regret asking you but it is getting late so I will see you tomorrow. You can take my car and I'll pick it up later."

Marc stands because he cannot believe his ears. "You want me to leave? Are you sure because I can stay, I don't want you to be alone tonight."

"Marc don't worry about it, I want to be alone tonight and I'm not in the mood to talk. I'll see you tomorrow, like I said, I have to get up early in the morning and if you stay I won't get any sleep."

Marc pulls Taki to him, gives him a kiss, and tells him if he changes his mind to call him he will come right away. Taki walks him to the door and reaches up to kiss him again and Marc holds him tightly and says good night. He watches as he gets on the elevator and then closes the door. He walks to the phone, makes a call, and then hangs up. He goes in to his bedroom and lies down on the bed.

Noah is driving through the dark streets, feeling happy about the phone call. He knew it would come eventually but he did not think it would happen this soon. He pulls up in front of the building, pulls out his key, and inserts it in the lock. He rides up to the top floor and walks to the door. He looks down at the keys in his hand and wonders if he should knock or just open the door. He knocks softly and waits. He looks around the hall and wonders if they will argue because this is something, he does not want. Not now, not after all this time, the last thing he wants is to argue.

He takes a deep breath as the door opens and smiles at Taki.

He looks up at Noah, waves him in, closes the door softly, and leans against it. Noah turns around and opens his arms and Taki walks in them and lays his head on his chest. Noah strokes his back, "You still fit perfectly in my arms. I've missed you, it's been too long, love."

Taki pulls back from him, and looks up into his face, "Yes it's been to long Noah and I've missed you too."

He bends down, giving Taki a passionate kiss, exploring the inside, searching for the boy that has turned into this man. Taki turns his head to the side and puts his arms up and around his neck. He fingers the hair at the nape of his neck as he trembles in his arms.

He pulls back and tells him in a husky voice "I didn't ask you over for this, although it is nice, I have something I have to say to you Noah. Have a seat please; can I get you anything to drink?" He stands back trying to compose himself.

Noah looks around, "Yeah I'll have something, you remember what I like don't you? Where is you boyfriend he let you come home alone tonight, I'm surprised."

Taki pours him a drink and hands it to him, "He respects my wishes Noah, as should you. Why did you pick at him tonight, you are the one that left me remember. It was your choice so you don't get to come in and make comments about who I see. That's not fair to me and it's not fair to your girlfriend. I am happy with Marc and he treats me very well. There is no need for you to interfere with my life. You can't have it both ways, I'm in love with him and I don't need you coming back into my life trying to take over."

Noah takes a sip of his drink and looks up at Taki. "You know it's my fault, you enjoy being with a man don't you? I feel responsible for you and I will not allow Marc to take advantage this late in the game. After all I am the one that trained you, or have you forgotten?"

Taki turns his back, "How could I, you made sure I wouldn't forget didn't you. I still have the marks on my body from your…training. Although they have faded some I still have physical reminders of you."

Noah gets up, walks over to Taki, stands close behind him and puts his hands on his arms, "I didn't mean to hurt you …you made me lose control that time and I just couldn't help myself. You don't know the effect you have on me Taki, the softness of your skin, your smell when you're aroused, it all drives me insane and that is one of the reasons I had to get away from you. I was drowning inside you and I couldn't handle it, so I ran. I'm sorry Taki can you forgive me for being a coward."

The platinum blonde turns and looks up in his face, "Why didn't you tell me all this before, instead of just leaving and telling me you found someone else!? He puts his hand over his face, "Forget it, just go Noah, I don't think we should see each other alone again. I'm with Marc and he would never do something like that to me so just go and never come back!"

He runs off to his bedroom and slams the door. Noah stands in the middle of the floor and watches as he runs to his room. He walks over to the sofa and sits down; he leans his head back staring up at the ceiling and thinks he really blew this. It was never his intention to upset Taki like this so what does he do now? He will let him calm down and then go in and talk to him.

XXXXXXXXX

Taki throws himself across the bed and covers his face with his arms. He should have never called him over to talk. He tells him he loved him all that time and in the same breath, he says he had to leave him because he loved him to much. This is crazy, how can he believe something like that. He sits up, and begins to remove his clothes when his bedroom door opens. He looks over at the door and sees Noah standing in the doorway.

"What are you still doing here? I asked you to leave."

Noah walks over to him and pulls him by his open shirt bringing him closer to him. Taki puts his hands up, "Noah what are you doing? Stop, right now!"

Noah acts possessed as he starts kissing Taki and holding him tightly. He pulls his shirt off and slams him down on the bed. He is holding his hands over his head and kissing his chest. Taki is struggling to get his hands lose when he says, "Noah you have to stop this now. You don't know what you're doing…stop Noah!"

"Are you saying you don't want me? Remember I know where all your weak spots are Taki." He lets go of Taki's hands with one of his and is holding both of his wrist in one hand. With the other, he unzips his pants and pulls them over his hips. He licks the back of Taki's ear and down his neck. He sticks his tongue in his ear and probes it around swiftly making Taki jerk with the sensations. He lets him go and starts kissing him and licking him all over his chest. Taki is moving his head from side to side trying to forget how good it felt to have this man's hands and lips all over him at once.

"Are you sure you want me to stop because that's not what your body is saying. He takes Taki in his mouth and starts sucking on him and Taki arches his back and screams out Noah's name saying, "Noah please…just stop, now." He is holding Noah's head and pulling his hair trying to get him off but trying to push his erection deeper in his mouth at the same time.

Noah pulls his hips closer and with one hand pulls his pants all the way off. Taki is now nude on the bed under Noah. He looks at Noah and decides, he is not going to let him go. Noah can tell he has stopped struggling and eases up. He pulls back, kisses the insides of his thighs, and then looks up at him.

Taki has his eyes closed so Noah stands and removes his clothes. He kneels over Taki on all fours, "You know how I feel about you Taki so open your eyes and look at me."

He opens his eyes slowly and looks up at Noah's face. He turns his head to the side, "You didn't have to do this Noah we're not together anymore."

"I have to have you Taki and you know you want me too. So stop fighting me okay and just let me make love to you." He leans down and licks the side of his face, his tongue trailing to his lips where he traces them with his tongue. "You know baby you still taste good, I feel like ravishing you right now."

He licks Taki's chest and moves down to his navel sticking his tongue inside. Taki moans low in his throat, "Don't Noah, please stop. We shouldn't do this…it's not right."

"You're asking me to stop but your body wants me to continue Taki. Like this and like that…am I right?" He is kissing Taki all over his body and stroking his erection as Taki moans with his eyes half closed. His lips are parted in a silent scream because he knows that no one knows his body as well as Noah does and this is the pleasure that he has been missing for so long.

Noah moves down, lifts his hips up, and eases his fingers inside of him and Taki eyes fly open. "Noah, please stop…ah…ah…oh, Noah.

He is hitting his pleasure spot and it is driving him crazy. Noah moves back up to his ear and whispers, "You don't really want me to stop now do you. Tell me to stop again, come on say it…I dare you."

Taki puts his arms up and around him, "No, don't stop…please don't stop…I want you Noah…I want you so badly." Noah lifts his hips and pushes inside him.

Taki calls out his name loudly and has tears falling slowly out of the corners of his eyes Noah can see this and rams him harder and faster because he knows if he has tears, he is in total ecstasy and he does not realize they are falling.

Taki is thrashing on the bed as if he is trying to get away but Noah has a firm grip on him and he is not getting away from him. "Taki I'm going to cum…I'm sorry …I can't help it, you're so hot!" Taki cries out he is about to cum with him and then his body shudders. Noah pulls out of him before he cums inside. He falls on him as he spills his seed over his thighs, joing Taki's release.

"I miss you Taki so much…please let me love you again…oh Taki. I love you still."

He wraps his arms around Noah, "You don't really mean that Noah but thank you for saying it."

Noah encircles Taki's waist, buries his face in his chest, "I do love you Taki and I hope you believe me. You're my first love." Taki kisses the top of his head, "You are so adorable, Noah, I know how you feel about me and it makes me happy that you are telling me this but you also know our time has passed."

"I'm with Marc now and I don't want to do any thing to upset him. He has been very good to me and this is what you want for me, am I right? Marc is everything I could want in a lover and I know that Traci is the one for you. This one time has to be our last time and I will always treasure it but it can never happen again. You do understand don't you?"

Noah rolls over on his back, and pulls Taki on top of him, "I don't have to like it do I? After all, you did belong to me first. I'm just sorry I let you go the way I did but you are always on my mind." He reaches up, suckling his bottom lip before kissing him one last time.

Taki gets up and heads for the shower. He does not want Noah's scent on him if Marc happens to show up in the morning. Noah gets up, puts his clothes on, and walks to the shower, "I guess I'll be leaving now, I'm sorry about getting carried away tonight and it won't happen again, I promise." He walks over to Taki, cups his face in his hand, gives him a goodbye kiss, turns, and walks out the door. Taki watches him in the mirror and then steps into the shower.

XXXXXXXXXX

Iwaki wakes up in Katou's arms and looks into his sleeping face. Katou is breathing softly and holding Iwaki as if he were protecting him from harm. He kisses him on the lips and he slowly opens his eyes.

He smiles down at Iwaki, "Good morning sleepy head. Did you sleep well?"

"All I remember is taking a bath, how did I get here?"

Katou rubs his nose with his own, "I carried you to bed I thought you were going to drown."

"What time did you get here? I tried waiting for you but I guess I had too much to drink and fell asleep. Thanks for bringing me to bed I hope I wasn't to much trouble."

"As if...you could never be too much trouble for me, Koi." Katou rubs the top of his head, "I really don't feel like working today we should call off. What do you think?"

Iwaki sits up, "I don't know about you but I have some clients to see that I missed the other day since I was spending time with Angela."

Katou sits up, "Who in the hell is Angela?"

Iwaki looks at him with a frown, "What are you talking about?"

Katou swings his legs over the side of the bed, "I asked a question, who is Angela, that's what I'm talking about."

Iwaki smiles, "I'm sorry, that's Ms. Colby's first name. She told me to call her that. You don't mind do you?"

He cuts his eyes at him daring him to object and Katou can see it in his eyes so he says, "I just didn't know who she was. I had no idea you two were so close that you were on a first name basis. So forgive me if I seem surprised."

He gets up, walks to the shower, and leaves Iwaki to stare after him. He wonders if he is in for some trouble because he knows, Katou is pouting. He follows him to the shower, "Do you mind if I join you?" He looks down and cast his eyes over at Iwaki, "Sure, why not."

He is sitting on the side of the tub so he stands and steps inside turning on the water. Iwaki steps in behind him. He pulls Katou back in his arms, "I missed you last night. I was looking forward to making love with you."

He turns smiling, "Well I'm here and you're here so what's stopping us?" He kisses Iwaki and rubs his back slowly with the sponge. He brings it up to his spine, runs it slowly to his waist, and stops at his hips. He can feel Iwaki's erection pushing into him as he brings his hips into close contact with Iwaki's. He grinds up against him and moves his lips down his chest to his stomach. He is kissing his pubic hair and marveling at the softness of it when he takes his erection in his mouth and starts to suck on it.

Iwaki looks down at him and puts his hand on top of his head running his fingers through his wet hair. He closes his eye and let's the pleasure wash over him because Katou is very good at what he does and he is reaping the benefits of his expertise. Iwaki calls out to Katou that he is about to cum and Katou puts his finger in his slit between his hips and starts to probe. Iwaki tells him he cannot hold back and shoots right in Katou's mouth. He swallows and stands up wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, "Now it's my turn Iwaki."

The raven-haired man turns around and presses his hands against the wall. Katou pulls one of his legs up and pulls his hips out. He guides his swollen erection in side Iwaki and pushes , Iwaki bends slightly so he can go as far as he can and Katou starts pumping into him while holding on to his leg.

Iwaki is pressed into the wall with Katou behind him thrusting in and out. He is moaning loudly telling Katou how good it feels when he notices he has gotten hard again. He puts his hand down to stroke himself when Katou covers his hand with his own and starts stroking him instead. Iwaki presses his hands, and the side of his face against the wall, and tells Katou not to stop.

Katou says, "I can't stop Iwaki, you're so hot I could stay inside you forever…oh Iwaki you feel…so good. I'm coming Iwaki…please come with me." Iwaki says, "I am…I am coming ah…ahh."

He collapses forward and Katou holds him around the waist. He stands up but his legs are trembling as the water cascades over the two men. The blonde holds him around the waist as Iwaki leans on him. Katou steps out of the tub swooping him up in his arms as Iwaki holds on to him in surprise.

He smiles down at him, "Hum, this is becoming a habit love but I don't mind one bit." He takes him in the bedroom and lays him on the bed. He goes back in the bathroom and shuts off the shower. He returns with two towels and sits on the side of the bed.

"Are you okay Iwaki? I know I got a little carried away just now but you know how I am when it comes to you." Iwaki reaches up and pulls him down on top of him.

Katou laughs as he falls on top of Iwaki, "I see you are okay." Iwaki rolls over on top, "You're pretty strong aren't you? This is the second time you have swept me up. Am I that much of a light weight?" He dries his body by rubbing on top of the younger man and then grabs one of he towels.

Katou laughs, "When you grow up a pretty boy, you're always teased so my mother made sure I could defend myself. That included weight training, would you believe I can bench press my own weight? You are heavy but I think I can handle you, I'm not that weak." he grabs a towel and puts it around his slim waist, "Did you want some coffee?"

Iwaki looks at him wondering why he changed the subject and says yes. Katou smiles and goes to get the coffee. Iwaki lies back with his hands under his head thinking about him changing to coffee and decides to let it go for now. He is thinks about last night and Traci.

Katou comes back with two mugs of coffee and hands one to Iwaki. He sits on the side of the bed as Iwaki sits up. They are sitting side by side sipping their coffee when Iwaki asks, "What took you so long, dropping off Traci? Did she tell you what happen with her and Noah?"

"It was just as we thought. Noah and Taki was once an item, but the thing about it is he's Taki's first lover and she couldn't handle the revelation that Noah use to swing both ways. I guess finding out that Taki's first love is supposed to be her last love was a shock to her. I tried talking to her, and was just driving around before she gave me her address because she didn't want to go home. She asked me to drop her off at the Shadowmar. I did what I could but my main concern was to get here before you fell asleep. Did you know you were asleep in the tub and just like a spoiled brat you didn't wake up when I dried you off and put you to bed?"

He looks at Katou over the rim of his cup, "Why should I wake up? I trust you to take care of me when I am defenseless, that's why I'm with you. I guess I had too much to drink last night. As a matter of fact I think I'll call in and tell them I'll be in this afternoon instead of this morning." He gets up, gets his cell, makes the call to his office, and leaves a massage for Gilda to call him.

Katou is watching him as he turns his back to make the call, he looks up at his shoulders noticing how broad they are. He leans back, grabs his own cell, calls the studio, and tells them he will be there around one and hangs up before they can ask too many questions.

Iwaki hangs his phone up, "Do you want more coffee Katou? I know I want another cup."

Katou gets off the bed taking his mug, "You rest, and I'll get it for you." Iwaki hands him his cup and smiles at him as he leaves the room. He is thinking how did I get so lucky to have someone carter to me this way. He removes his towel and lays back on the bed leaning on one elbow and his knee bent with his right hand resting on it. He throws his head back thinking about what Katou has told him about Noah. He has known Noah for a long time and he would never have thought he has been with a man. Well you never really know about people because he never thought he would be with a man and here he is.

Katou comes back into the room and stops, he stares at Iwaki thinking, he is making a very sexy pose and Iwaki is not aware that Katou has returned with their coffee. The object of his thoughts has materialized and he is unaware that he is staring at him in fascination. Katou smiles and thinks this is why I love this man. He clears his throat and Iwaki turns, looks at him and gives him a smile.

"You look pretty delicious posing in the nude, I feel like ravishing you right now." Iwaki laughs at him, "I thought you already did that if I'm not mistaken and very well too."

Katou walks over to the bed, "What were you thinking about, you seem to have been staring in space just now."

He looks at Katou as he sips his coffee, "I was just thinking about you and how you spoil me."

He sits besides Iwaki, "I take it you like it, right?"

He puts his hand under Katou's chin and pulls him over for a kiss. "Of course I do silly, why wouldn't I like it?" Katou pushes him back and leans down kissing him and nipping the side of his neck while Iwaki puts his hand up and pulls his down curling his hair around his fingers. Iwaki says in between kisses, "I thought the point of going in late was so we could rest."

Katou is kissing him on the neck, "I am resting…can't you tell?" He pulls up, looks down in Iwaki's face, and, "Omae wa ore mono da." He leans in and sticks his tongue in Iwaki's mouth when he opens it in surprise.

Iwaki closes his mouth on it and strokes back slowly. As they are pretending that the outside world does not exist, the phone rings. Katou reluctantly moves off Iwaki as he gets up to answer. He walks over to the dresser and picks it up to find that its Gilda calling to tell him he has a lunch meeting with Ms. Colby today at one.

He tells her, Justin is supposed to see to her needs until at least next week. She tells him she insists on meeting with him and there is no changing her mind because she tried. He tells her fine he will take the meeting but he would probably be out all day. Then he tells her to inform one of the senior partners about what is going on because dealing with her is taking up to much of his time.

He hangs up the phone, stands with his back turned to Katou, and his eyes are closed. He is dreading the fallout from Katou when he finds out he has to meet with her. Everything is going so smoothly just now and because of her selfishness, he knows he is going to hear it from Katou. He slowly turns around, looks at Katou, and tries to attempt a smile but the look on his lover's face freezes his attempt.

"Look Katou I tried to get out of it I even told them to assign someone else to her but she won't meet with anyone else but me. What am I suppose to do?"

He gets up off the bed, "You know, I read that article in the paper yesterday and I didn't say anything because I thought you would make it clear to her that you are taken but I see you didn't."

He turns and walks in the bathroom with Iwaki following behind him. "Do you expect me to quit my job because of her? I'm sorry I tried to explain to her that I'm seeing you but I guess she doesn't care." Katou folds his hands across his chest and turns his back on Iwaki as he looks up at the ceiling.

"Katou don't be upset I'll make sure she knows today, I'm not available, I promise, I'll do it at lunch." He walks over, puts his hand on Katou's shoulder, slides it down his arm, takes his hand, lacing his fingers.

"Look Iwaki, I know it's not your fault, she is after you it's just that it pisses me off at her nerve. Rich people think they can have whatever they want and to hell with other people's feelings. She is using her fortune to get what she wants from you and your firm, because she knows you don't want to lose her account. I hate people like that because all they care about is their own satisfaction. She doesn't need you like I do, she just wants you."

"Well, I need you and I won't let her come between us, I promise. I'll tell you what, how about we skip rehearsal tonight and spend a quiet night at home, just the two of us, okay?" He slides his hand down Katou's arm, imploring him with his dark grey eyes.

"Yeah, if you're with her you won't be coming home early tonight so don't make promises you can't keep." He pulls away from Iwaki, walks over, and turns on the shower. "Don't get in with me, I want to shower alone."

Iwaki stands there watching him because he knows he is probably correct. He goes back in the bedroom and sits on the bed with his head in his hands wondering what he should do. He doesn't want to get in trouble with his bosses and he doesn't want Katou to be upset with him. He wonders how he has gotten himself in such a mess.

His personal life should not interfere with his job and vice versa so he wonders how it has come to this. He lies back on the bed, puts his hands behind his head, and looks up at the ceiling trying to think of some way to appease Katou and nothing seems to come to mind. He closes his eyes and thinks about Katou and him telling him not to get in the shower. He must really be upset with him and he has to think of something because this is going to mess up his entire day.

XXXXXXXXXX

Katou gets out of the shower, wipes the mirror off, and looks toward the door. "He must have left already. Fine, I won't let it bother me I just hope he can resist her. What am I saying; he's in love with me. I know he loves me and I will not let her selfishness get the better of me, I'll call him later and apologize."

He is musing to himself, trying to figure out if he should call in the middle of lunch and interrupt them. If he knew where they were having lunch he would just show up as he did the last time. He smiles to himself remembering that little fiasco and remembering how much fun it was. He blow dries his hair and cleans the bathroom. He walks into the bedroom and notices it is 12:30.

He walks to the closet, looks towards the bed, and sees Iwaki stretched out, sleeping on his back with his hand over his face. He stops and turns towards him and walks over to the bed. Looking down on him, he reaches out to touch him and brings his hand back up.

He stands looking at him wondering if he should wake him. He looks so beautiful laying there that he doesn't want to disturb him. He is already late for his meeting with his client and he must really be tired to fall asleep like this.

He stands wondering if he should let him stay the way he is or wake him gently. He smiles down at him and realizes if he doesn't wake him he will be upset with him because it's his job. He bends down and kisses him until he opens his eyes.

He reaches up for Katou and pulls him down on top of him kissing him back. He then sits up and asks, "What time is it? I bet I'm late for lunch, why did you let me sleep like this?"

"I just came in and saw you sleeping so I woke you up. You look so sweet that I decided to kiss you awake." He stands and pulls clothes out of the closet, "Consider yourself lucky I woke you at all."

He looks over at Iwaki and he is not smiling. Iwaki looks back and says, "Sorry, I didn't mean to blame you. I know it's my fault I fell asleep. I should call and make up some excuse and cancel my whole day."

Katou stops in the middle of dressing and looks at him. "You're kidding right? Because if you're not, I can call off too."

Iwaki looks at him over his shoulder, "Is that what it takes, to make you happy?" Katou puts his head down, "I know you'll never do that. Your job is too important to you, so just quit playing around and get dressed and go already. You're pretty late as it is."

He turns back around, slips into his shirt, and starts to button it. Iwaki walks over to him, "You didn't answer my question. "Is that what it takes to make you happy Katou?"

"It's what I would like, yes." The blonde watches him as walks away.

Iwaki walks over to the phone, picks it up, and dials a number. He tells the person on the other end he will not be able to make it and he will be in touch on Friday and hangs up. He puts the phone down and Katou walks over to him and puts his arms around his waist from behind. He places his head on Iwaki's back and says, "Thank you Iwaki, you don't know what that means to me. I know I'm being paranoid but I just have this awful feeling that she is trying to seduce you. I don't want you in any compromising positions…unless it's with me."
