D: Owning the words.
DEADLY PLEASURES
CHAPTER 7
Saturday morning had been a calm awakening for the hard working blond paramedic. After sleeping more hours than usual he had a light breakfast and went jogging to the nearby park a few blocks from his apartment. He knew that even though the city air was not even near the best for his lungs, the exercise felt good and helped maintain the shape and strength of his muscles, since part of his efficient and well done job was achieved by maintaining a good physical condition. When he returned to his home he gave himself a fast shower since he was planning on showering again at night.
After losing his time here and there inside his apartment, he decided to calm the small ball of nerves inside his stomach by searching for something nice to wear, deciding to use a fit deep grey shirt with black buttons, although he knew he was going to leave some buttons open to make it less formal, he still wanted to look casually formal. Sasuke had told him it was not a very classy place, it was actually a very uncanny basement, as he politely described it, so he didn't have to dress up or anything. But truth to be told, he wanted to look good for the agent, so half and half, formal top, casual bottom. He thought to himself as he picked some light blue, almost white, jeans and a pair of black sneakers that gave his look that vibe of casual but selected with care.
Sasuke had told him he would be at his place around 9; with the clock indicating the number seven and the sky tinted with a deep purple, Naruto was resting in his comfy sweatpants and a sweatshirt from his medicine student days. It was baggy around his sculpted torso but oh so delicious to be wrapped around it. His blue eyes concentrated on the lines of the book in turn when the knock on his door distracted him.
"Who is it?" he asked, not moving from the couch. It might be his nosy neighbour or a lost delivery man. He really didn't want to move from the perfect position he had achieved on the couch. But he didn't expect the known presence behind the frame of his entrance.
"It's me, Sasuke." the agent's deep voice came from the other side of the door.
Panic struck the paramedic mind for a second, making his body bolt from the couch to the floor in a millisecond "… give me a second." he chanted, trying to avoid the hurried tone in his voice. He left everything and checked his clothes for a second. "Damit..." he mumbled after he approached the door with quick steps. He felt like an idiot being this nervous, but he couldn't help himself, he always wanted to see those black eyes over him, and the flame of desire that appeared every time they landed only on him.
"Hey..." he breathed out as he opened the door, trying to accommodate his golden locks with one hand, while holding the doorknob with the other.
Raising an eyebrow, the Uchiha looked at the disheveled man in front of him. "Hey…I guess it is a little early." the agent chanted with an apologetic half smile.
"Come on in." the paramedic shrugged while motioning the man to step inside.
As if it was his own home, Sasuke closed the door behind him, hanging his leather jacket on the hook behind the door.
"I know I said casual… but aren't you exaggerating?" The agent said with a playful tone.
"You came two hours early… of course I'm still not ready, idiot." Naruto nagged, sitting again in the spot of the couch he was earlier, shaking the uncomfortable feeling off his body throwing some unimpressed look to the policeman, but it didn't last long since the man before him was charming with his black t-shirt and black ripped denim, the sweet scent of sandalwood cologne kept the blond's senses in high alert, so of course he couldn't feel more out of place, in his own damn house.
Sasuke chuckled lightly, sitting beside the blond man, witnessing the silence of the paramedic and his eyes, evidently checking him out. "I know, It's my fault, I should have called." he said, playing with one of Naruto's sweatshirt cord that hung from his collar.
"So, you came early so you can take advantage of my spare time?" the blond said, returning to reality and changing his look to a more provocative one.
"I was not brilliant enough to think about that option." he said, leaving the cord, pouting. "Actually I was hoping we could make a quick stop before heading to that place."
"That place? didn't you say it was called Pleasure Palace? Like a sex house or something, are we seeing live porn or some sort of thing?." The blond said, teasing the clearly annoyed policeman who was getting more uncomfortable with each vivid description of the place they were about to go.
"Yeah it's called like that..., as I was saying,we need to go for- '' Sasuke tried to divert the topic of the chat.
"You really can't be this prude around me!" The blond interrupted him with a loud laugh following.
"Shut up, I'm no prude!, I just find the name really cheap!" The policeman retorted fiercely.
Blue orbs got wider "Cheap? seriously?...I think it is refreshingly honest."
"You don't even know what the place is about!" the other kept nagging.
"That's the best part!, I have all the information I need with the sole name. DO YOU know what the place is about?"
"I have a good reference." the policeman shrugged.
"Is that so?"
"As I told you, I know my way around, but I decide to select my words and not blast them all around as soon as they come to my mind, I want to maintain the decency I'm privy of, at least." he couldn't stop the knowing smile that formed in the corner of his mouth as he said those last words while looking at the paramedic with a sardonic smile in his face too.
They both knew that all these things were thrown away once the primal instinct of their attraction flooded their logical mind and Sasuke's sense of decency was thrown out the window as well.
The detective had pondered numerous times about it, he knew his closed and reserved stance didn't match his words when he acted more on instinct than on thought. He knew his analytic mind was a trustworthy tool he could mold and handle in any shape or nature he needed, and even though he was good at many things, after all this years he was not at all in control of his inner impulses; like the ball of nerves he felt while dialing to the blond, like the hot rage that make him run almost eight blocks to reach Zabuza's fatal scene or the incredible determination and security, fired up by the pure knowledge of instinct, he held while convincing Tsunade that Zabuza's death was not a common case.
Sasuke was still not able to control his inner and extreme sensations and emotions about the world surrounding him, but as good as he was, he knew he could put them to good use to make things work.
Miraculously, his outer expression and natural aura were a gift from heaven since his face expressions were a clear antonym of all the extremism he felt in everyday situations. Now he didn't need the emotion of want and desire fogging his mind, he was escaping from any thought and focusing on business, at least until he knew there were no other clues he could get from the investigation he was about to start.
"Alright, alright. I'll behave myself." the blond said, lifting himself after the policeman's decency sprout. "Give me a second and we can go, alright?"
The blond disappeared into his bedroom and Sasuke was able to relax, since he was focusing on work, he was ignoring the eagerness he was feeling about the night that was ahead of them. Yeah, he was on work duty, but he was not going to deny that he was excited to go with none other than the guy he was waiting for. Naruto had impressively managed to achieve something that a few guys before him had rarely approached; To make him stop thinking, yeah, the blond managed to absolutely attract his attention with his actions, his non stop chit chat and of course he erupted all kinds of, as usual in his brain, extreme feelings about all kinds of topics; nervousness, attraction, curiousness, interest and of course, a deep and solid desire.
His point was proven when the so-called man emerged from the bedroom fully clothed, drying his wet golden hair with a blue towel, his tanned skin moist and lightly flushed from the clearly recent hot shower. Wetting his lips he said:
"You look really good, Naruto." While remembering himself that after they reach their first destination he had to push all the thoughts of him aside, since he needed all his attention on important duties.
"Glad you like it, you look sexy too." The blond said, making his way to the man standing now near his door. Capturing his lips in a rough kiss he had been urged to take after opening his door. Sasuke responded to the kiss, caressing the wet hair between his fingers and taking the other's inviting tongue between his lips, savouring the mint scented kiss and the velvety feeling of the paramedic kisses "Alright, we have to make a deal ok?" he said between his lips, releasing the embrace but not moving an inch away.
"Ok?... what is it?" the paramedic smiled searching the lips in between words.
"Tonight I'm clearly going to get distracted with you, I mean it is the Pleasure Place… everything I see there I will want to do it to you. So please don't be THAT distracting." Naruto laughed, while Sasuke continued with a not so serious; "I'm serious" and a smile on his lips.
Naruto squinted his eyes "Are you saying that you invited me to ignore me?"
"I'm just asking for your help, you have a very good eye and somehow we could get a hold of some information on the case; you know a lot about it by now….if you have some suspects or some conclusions in this place you let me know of your thoughts, after we are done, you can be as distracting as you want, I won't oppose that." the detective finished, taking a now healthy distance, reaching for his leather jacket from it's place on the door.
Smiling, the blond took his black blazer, "Sounds exciting, where are we going first?"
/
The impressive tall building stood impotently in the young night, just as the last time Sasuke had seen it, the marble floor, walls and ceiling shone below the artificial light.
"Sasuke! hey!" Karin greeted him with a loud voice. Leaving her seat behind the vigilance stand, and approaching the handsome man, watching how another good looking guy stroll behind him.
"Hi bunny…any news?" The policeman greeted her with silk in his voice and the well known wink.
Nervousness returned to the girl's face as she tried to regain his sanity and continue the small talk for as long as possible, "T-there haven't been any changes, although I did take a look at the mailbox as you told me...there was a package after all." the handsome man that had visited the building already a week ago had been messaging her from time to time, all that she knew is that this man was Mr. Zabuza's lawyer and by order of his father he had been inspecting the property while he appeared. As part of his 'job' Sasuke had asked her to see if there was anyone who wanted to contact Zabuza and recently if there were some packages in the mail for him. Taking this as his personal mission she had maintained his eyes wide open and even checked the security cameras of other shifts apart from hers, after all, Sasuke and her had a pending date.
"Great!, I'll take it bunny." he said, caressing the red head security guard jaw line. Action that awarded him with a small sight from her and a hurried run to the vigilance desk to produce a box, wrapped in deep brown paper.
"Are you going up again? Sasuke?" She said, giving the black haired man the package while making a try of a seductive tone between the sentence and the mention of his name.
A cold shiver ran across his spine, but he made sure his facade was unalterable and with confidence he smiled handsomely.
"I'm afraid I have to, Mr. Momochi had asked for more papers." Sasuke said, walking with confidence to the elevator, seeing how Naruto followed behind him with an awkward look. "Oh, I am being rude too, Karin sweetheart, he is a co worker of the firm, he is helping me sort Mr. Momochi papers."
The blond and Karin bowed politely and the girl charmingly approached the elevator entrance, taking the special access card to the penthouse to give them both acces.
"We'll see you in a while, darling." Sasuke's smooth voice finished the sentence with that damned enchanting lopsided smile that had granted him access to innumerable places and information when the occasion allowed him.
The golden doors of the elevator closed before him and Sasuke closed his eyes, feeling how his stomach felt as if sinking to the floor with every number that the display inside the metal cabin started to elevate and his breaths had to bee more long and prolongate to assure that enough air got into his lungs.
"Bunny? Sweetheart?... please never call me like that." The blond voice came as soon as they reached the number 5 on the floor counter. Sasuke opened his eyes and smiled at the man beside him, after all having Naruto here did help him decrease the insane uneasiness of the high altitude they were about to reach in some seconds.
"I need the information..." he said, finding his voice again and trying to smile, "and I'll have it at any cost."
"You really are… If I didn't know you are a cop I would have believed that crap about the lawyer." Naruto said, looking at the luxury space and asking himself how many floors does the building have, since the inside of the elevator had very few buttons. "Are you allowed to lie like this? I mean… like for an investigation?"
"Sometimes… it doesn't matter how you get the information."
They finally arrived at the highest floor, way above the floor; the night view of the city was in full expanse infront of his eyes. Sasuke swallowed the terror of the free fall he started to imagine just by watching how small the cars and streets looked from where they were, stepping inside he turned on the light.
"Are you alright?..." Naruto asked, noticing how Sasuke walked almost glued to the wall, his always calmed face was now drained of any existing color .
"Mhm..." The agent mumbled while nodding, starting to look around. "I hate high places. I'll be alright in a while." the policeman said, breathing heavily.
"Right, you are about to pass out, hear me now. " Naruto positioned himself in front of him, taking his forearms and pulling him to the ground, making himself and Sasuke's body take a kneeling position on the apartment entrance.
"If you keep thinking on how high this place is, you are only getting worse this panic attack you are having… take a deep breath and start to tell me what the hell are we searching in here." the blond said with serious eyes.
"I already explained that on our way here." the stubborn black haired man said, although he did take some profound inhalations of air.
"I don't care, explain again, you said someone told you there were some more packages like that one inside here, then what..."
"Then… we came to… to see if something had changed from the last time I was here."
His breath was slowly normalizing and as soon as his brain started to remember every detail of the appearance of the place, from the last time he visited, the pressure on his chest and head decreased and slowly he felt that his legs were finally attached to his body again.
"The last time I came here, there were some glasses in the living room, they were placed in a very curious way, and all the rooms were pristine." The agent continued, while standing up with the blond at the same time.
"What else do you remember?" the blond continued, feeling how the man was slowly abandoning the panic and getting into work.
"Hum… everything was too clean, like a model house." he said, pacing around, returning his eyes to the blond. Feeling how he had recovered way faster from the dreadful sensation than the last time.
"Alright we'll see that everything is still like that, are you feeling better?" the paramedic assured him, rubbing the policeman's back with his palm.
Exhaling, Sasuke did feel better, much better that the last height crisis he had had, "Yeah… thanks, that helped."
"Try distracting your mind every time you feel like panicking, that might help…" the paramedic said, seeing how the agent cleared his throat nodding and started to properly look around him.
"I didn't expect you to have an aversion of heights." the blond said again, taking a step aside, letting the man walk towards the kitchen.
"What do you mean by that?… many people fear many things." Sasuke responded.
Shrugging, Naruto followed him to the kitchen "I don't know, I just didn't imagine you would fear something, being a cop and all of that."
"That sounds stupid… but I get it. Do you have any sort of phobia yourself?" Sasuke said, looking around the place.
"Now you really sound like yourself…" the blond smiled, "Let me think. I don't really know, apart from the humanly expected I guess not. I 'm pretty common." the blond said, watching how Sasuke had taken out a fabric out of his pocket and covering his hand. He started to open and close all the drawers and cabinets of the kitchen.
"You are all but common, Naruto." he said, pulling himself up, taking again in his hands the package he had placed on the kitchen counter. Naruto just laughed lightly at the comment.
While Sasuke kept inspecting room by room, Naruto admired the luxury place on his own, even though the place was not enormous it was big enough. Adding the astonishing views of the city all around, he could not even imagine how much that place cost and the wild parties he would do if he had such a place.
Making his way to the far corner of the living room, he had a full view of almost the entire penthouse, and he noticed a strange stain covering the rim of a wall.
"Hey Sasuke, you said this place was way too clean when you went here?" he shouted out loud, noticing how when he made his way to the spot, a small and almost imperceptible glow emanated from the well illuminated floor.
Sasuke emerged from one of the rooms, walking towards him "Yeah, why?"
"It looks here as if someone dropped dirt or something and then cleaned, but not that well."
"Like ashes?" the policeman asked, stopping in the middle of the place.
"It could be. Why did you think of ashes?"
"Because..." Sasuke crouched down, taking with the fabric he had in his hand a metallic bin resting beside a chick bureau. "...there is something bunt here."
"Burnt?" Naruto asked, approaching the man. "It doesn't smell like smoke or anything."
"Yeah, but it's literally burnt to ashes, I guess it was a paper. There is nothing we can save from it." Sasuke moved the bin from right to left, seeing how the dark ashes move around the container.
"Then someone did come after all." Naruto concluded. Sasuke nodded, thinking.
"I didn't find any packages either, so that one is the only one." The policeman moved to the brown box, resting on the kitchen counter. "What do you think, shall we open this?"
"Do you know what might be inside?" Naruto said, his eyes glowing with curiosity.
"No idea at all." the pale hands started to rip the plastic tape, the paper, followed by the actual box, allowing the cardboard lids to open, black eyes perplexed and with a confused stare he admitted to himself that he was expecting everything but that, although he should have had coming, due to the clues the had between hands by now, he frowned, looked away, frowned again, snorted and take one of his hands to massage his temples.
"Can I look, what is it?" Naruto asked, leaning to see the inside too. There, between crumpled newspapers, rested a transparent plastic box, displaying a black, weird shaped butt plug, over the plastic box, a designed black cardboard label, which was part of the same envelope; there explained were the specifications, color and name of the brand. "Oh..." was everything Naruto could say, checking again the weird shaped sexual toy.
A small beep interrupted the awe of both men. Sasuke took out his phone, checking the message he had just received.
"Gaara is on his way to the place… I mean, the Pleasure Palace." Sasuke said out loud.
"Alright, you need to look something more here?" The blond added, hiding a small knowing smile, closing the box and returning it to the agent. "Wow I really feel like a policeman now."
Sasuke looked at him amused, "I didn't see any other plugs or dildos around, so no." He finished, with a funny expression, closing the box again and holding it securely below his arm, "I'll get THIS to the station, but it will be an awkward one."
Making his way out the kitchen and onto the elevator door, he spotted the phone resting beside the couch. "Come to think about… what if he made a call to the Love Line from here?" he said, approaching the device, pressing with the help of his fabric the history buttons, but as any other paths he had searched in this case, there was no information nor numbers on the call history. But his curiosity had paid off, because there, in the display, was waiting a voicemail, the agent didn't waste time and pressed the listen option.
Good afternoon sir, after the visit the buyers are eager to make their first offers for the place. We are sure that the moment the ownership is noted under the company we will be able to close the deal. I'll call you as soon as the names in the actives of the stock market are for good use.
The phone biped two times and the voice message ended. Perplexed, Sasuke selected the hear again option, looking intensely at the device. Saving in his memory the tone, the sounds and the info given, then he pressed some other buttons so that the voice message remains unread, if someone had been entering the apartment, this message was for his ears only and Sasuke pretended to be as invisible as the wind.
/
Sitting inside the car, Sasuke drove off the place, a comfortable silence between both was broken by the blond constant chatter.
"So… is it like in the series? you will take out the fingerprints of this thing? or search for microscopic clues?" Naruto asked, fumbling with the brown box between his hands.
Sasuke smiled lightly "You watch too much tv dobe."
"But isn't this evidence or something? what if the killer send the sex toy himself." the blond defended the point eagerly.
"Even if we found any fingerprint, we don't know who we are searching for or even if they are inside any database. True, the package is evidence, but not for any biological proof."
Naruto looked at him with attention and the agent continued, "Did you look at the toy closely?... it's not a common one. This butt plug is a rare one, and the value of the clue is to find the provider, and that some secret contact talked to us about it."
"So now you are a connoisseur of sex toys? you really have two personalities inside." The paramedic said laughing.
"It's called experience on the field, I had some contacts on the underworlds, one of them runs a sex toy shop, I have some tricks under my sleeve, don't subestimate me."
"I'm not, I'm not..." the blond continued "So, was the visit to the apartment any useful apart from a collectible and that redhead guard complete adoration?"
With a small smile Sasuke pressed the brakes of the car, finding an ideal parking spot near a subway station entrance, in one of the side streets, a mall illuminated the street before them. "Yeah… Now we know someone is trying to sell Zabuza's place, and a reunion to present the property was held there. Let me be clearer, the glasses I saw the last time were now not there, that meant that maybe some sort of reunion was held there, and if the voicemail was correct, someone did a house tour to some buyers, that's the reason why it was so plain and in order, now that the reunion was held there was no need to keep it all clean, therefore the ashes." Stepping out of the car, Naruto followed his steps, they both made sure the car was locked and the brown box below the seat. While they walked to the subway entrance the policeman continued. "Even though someone made sure to eliminate any evidence of the reunion or their identity. My guess is that Zabuza could have been murdered for his properties, someone could have collected a debt or maybe... someone expected that he died sooner or later."
Processing all of Sasuke's wods Naruto commented here and there and quickly they reached the entrance of the subway station, a big staircase emerged from the floor, well lighted, they could see people coming out and going in, with hurried paces or taking their time. Since it was Saturday night and they were near the bussy center of the city and the night entertainment locals were starting to come to life to all the parties and hot blooded clientele.
"Is Gaara coming with someone as well?" The paramedic asked.
"Yeah, that was the plan. According to my contact it's better like this." Sasuke said, looking to every person that came out of the subway entrance.
"And does he know that… you know, that I come with you as your date? or something like that?" The blond asked scratching the back of his head, unsure of what words he should use.
"That if he knows I'm gay? sure… that I have the hots for you, I guess he suspects something." Sasuke pushed the blond lightly, smiling charmingly.
"And he?" the blond couldn't stop the question from leaving his mouth.
"I really don't know… Gaara is all business, always. I really don't know much about his personal life, apart from the necessary." The cop responded, feeling quite curious himself, it was true that he didn't know much about his protegee romantic life. And truth to be told, he was very intrigued to know who the redhead invited. He had his suspects from the new year party of the police office from last year, but nothing especially relevant to have some conclusions. From his own case, he was not ashamed at all of showing his love interest to the man, they had been a team for quite some time and Gaara had witnessed all the dark tricks he had recurred to get information and the flings he had got himself in some other cases, adding the times he had rescued him from the nights the party had been to wild or his decisions hadn't been to smart. If someone asked him, Sasuke couldn't care less about anyone's opinion of his sexual preferences, although he cared if it came from Gaara, luckily, the redhead hadn't said anything anytime.
Finally a slick red hair emerged from the subway beside a girl with long black hair, Sasuke recognized her immediately, the young cop from Shikamaru's team assigned to the information department.
"Good night sir." Gaara greeted him, the girl behind her also bowed politely.
"Good night agent Uchiha." her soft voice reached the ears like a soft breeze.
"Sasuke… tonight we are not officers, just some friends hanging out, alright?" The agent clarified, greeting them with a small nodd. The two detectives nodded in response. "This is Naruto." the blond smiled at the well known detective and his pretty companion.
"Alright, let's go." the black haired agent said with a smile, changing his official stand and taking a more cheerful aura.
Walking in a group, and feeling quite comfortable with the clear night over them, Sasuke felt the easiness of a loose mouth and seeing that Naruto, chatty as he was, was already on good terms with Hinata who walked beside the blond in front of him. Making his pace slower, he catched up with his junior, looking him from the corner of his eye.
"Hinata?... I didn't know you two...well, date or something." Said Sasuke in a low tone.
"We don't!... I just thought having another cop around would be useful, if things got complicated." The detective assured, keeping his eyes on the two people before them.
"Right… well I'm sure she is more than glad to be here.'' The agent's words create a slight red tone on the cheeks of the green eyes man, a sight to behold and a first for Sasuke too, since he had never witnessed such a reaction in his way too firm young apprentice.
It seemed that tonight was going to be a night of first for the four of them, or at least for some of them.
/
After sorting the busiest streets, filled with long lines of partiers, neon lights and blasting music all around, they started to reach the loner and quite particular streets where the big discotecks and long lines were substituted by more private cantinees, bars, strip clubs and suspicious locals which business was only known for the ones inside.
Even though the streets had less people, the light of the different places still illuminated the sidewalks and a few buildings ahead of them was their destiny; a big and well lighted 4 floors building, apparently converted in a multi use structure, the first floor had a visible billboard displaying the titles of triple X movies that the erotic-cinema was screening that evening. On the second floor some bars displayed a large balcony where the clients enjoyed a smoke and some private conversations, on the third floor a dance studio with a very suspicious vibe was still open at this hour, and the last spots were filled with numerous locals with loud music, some displays of products and a few closed doors.
Sasuke walked confidently towards the place his memory had guided him, they had swap positions again and now Gaara was walking quietly beside his clear eyed companion.
A few steps from the cinema entrance, the agent stopped along with the other people walking with him, reaching for his cigarette pack, the black haired man lit a paper stick and faking an apparent disinterest, he looked around him, as in the old days, the cinema entrance had two cheap metallic doors for free access, if everything remained the same as his memory told him, they should walk straight to the door beside the Candy Shop of the erotic-cinema, he then hopped all the dynamics were the same as when Sasori ran the place.
"Alright, if anyone inside asks you for anything, you are just here to have some fun."
He said in a low voice while letting the smoke escape from his lips.
"Remember, we are here in a scouting stance, not an action plan. Just observe, interpret, and make a mental note, that goes for you too Hinata. I know Shikamaru has been training you, take this as part of training." Hinata's timid face went serious when the policeman directed the words to her.
"It's obvious that inside this place we are going to witness some very illegal things, let's make the blind eye and focus on anything relevant to our case." Both detectives nodded and Naruto raised his hand.
"What do we have to put attention to?" he finished with a timid smile.
"Just… any kind of bet inside, any kind of drugs for sale or use, the people who go there and why, the ownership and management of the whole business. " Sasuke finished, stomping on the cigarette, "And the most important thing, we are invisible, merge with the place."
"Noted" The blond paramedic said confidently linking his arm through Sasuke's. Hinata linked her thin fingers with the redhead's and tugged him to walk inside, behind the blond and the policeman.
The inside of the erotic-cinema was a pretty common a trashy one, some couples were sitted on the small and vintage snack bar, maybe waiting for the next screening or just taking a break, and some others wander around the place, a clear line for snacks and other needed products was clearly formed in the center of the place, from afar sounds of moans and grunts reach the ears, deppending on the door marked with a number the sounds changed, whipping, moaning, music mixed with screams, a very wide variety of styles and tastes.
Sasuke felt how Naruto's body tensed at the sounds and display of the whole area, it was… overwhelming, with so many naked people in multiple posters around, very sugerent noises and well only one thought in the head.
"You ok? we are not even there yet.." He whispered into his ear playfully.
"I have never been inside a place like this...it's a WOW." The blond said, "to be clear, this is a first date I'll never forget." Naruto laughed louder and Sasuke smiled a bit, while they arrived, to the door he had mentioned before, surprisingly, the theater had enough assistance to walk and lose between the people around.
Pushing the door, beside the Candy Shop, the atmosphere got cooler and the noise around them decreased. On the other side of the door a black ascending staircase welcomed them, the walls were covered with a velvety red fabric along the upward passage they walked, a dim light emanating from the edge of each step illuminated the way. About a floor above, the staircase ended and turned into a rest area with a leather loveseat placed below a classy chandelier that glowed with a dim light too.
"This place is the same but it is not..." Sasuke whispered to the blond's ear.
"Have you come here?" blue eyes questioned with awe.
"I used to come here... very oftenly actually. But at that time the place was more like a dirty alley, now it looks like it's worth a million dollars. Velvet on the walls and all..."
They took the second staircase that continued up after the rest área, until they reached a door covered with the same red velvet fabric, before they reached it, the door opened, revealing a bulky man that smiled at them.
"Welcome, you have found your way to Jashin Pleasure Palace." the man said with a raspy voice. "Is this your first time here?"
"Sort of… my friends though are new here." Sasuke said with ease, looking over his shoulder.
The bulky man watched the couple behind him and nodded. "Well let me then repeat for them our principles, in the Pleasure Palace your enjoyment is ours, this palace is where our guest's desires let loose. No disrespect, not hurting, just pleasure inside. Then, be welcome. For couples our entree rate is lower, please come on in."
Even Though Sasuke had acted as if this was not his first time listening to these words, he was quite attentive at the Pleasure Palace claim. And his surprise continued when he witnessed how the nastly little place he knew as the cabins Sasori ran, was completely wiped out and now it looked like a private luxurious club. The old place he had known was a place with cabins, which were more like small rooms to have a quickie and go, and some others equipped with a wide catalog of porn movies and videos for the loners. Now the new buyers had seen the potential of the place, since they got rid of all that little cabins and liberated the space to make a full club with a flashy bar on one whole wall, around the place, round sofas, tall tables and stools gave the place a new look. on the far wall a different collection of doors that Sasuke knew for sure was the last remains of Sasori's Sex cabbins, after all the pull of the place was that sole caracteristic and they did good on maintainin it.
On the opposite wall of the bar was an interesting display of windows, which remembered those from Amterdam's red district. Inside, instinctively men and women danced with the beat of the music.
The place was crowded and they found it quite difficult to reach the bar that was on the left side, they haven't made any statement between them but Sasuke knew he needed a drink and for the look on his young protegee's face, he needed some too. Was it smart to bring Gaara? the agent thought as he finally found a space free on the bar.
"Whisky right?" Naruto asked calmly as he saw Sasuke's thoughtful expression towards his protegee.
"Yeah.. thanks." While Naruto placed their order, Gaara approached the agent.
"Sasuke, we will get going to the other side. Is that ok?" The redhead said with confidence, raising his voice so his boss could hear him over the music.
"Yeah, go, text me if there is anything. If we don't reunite tonight, we'll see each other on Monday alright?...write down everything." He said, feeling quite weirded out after not hearing the characteristic 'Sir' while he addressed him, it was something he had never asked Gaara to do, but after the time he had got used to it. The young detective nodded, turning around and following the black hair girl, losing themselves between the crowd.
"They'll be alright… you don't have to look so worried." The blond paramedic bumped lightly the policeman's arm.
"I'm not. Do I look worried?" he asked, taking the glass of whiskey from the blond's hand, thanking him.
"Like a dad leaving a kid on the first day of school." The paramedic took a big gulp from the glass on his hand.
"Shut up." Sasuke turned around to face him. "Who is our bar man tonight? is he friendly?"
"Huh… yeah, he looks like he enjoys the attention." Naruto said, ogling the man behind the bar, which was well built, no shirt and a very adjusted pair of pants, moving with ease smiling to some girls ordering their drinks and winking from time to time to the people surrounding the bar.
"Well, at least he looks like a chatty one, if I play my cards well..." Sasuke started, thinking on his next line.
"Are you going to seduce him? you are that type of ...pol-person." Naruto dodge his mistake, smiling sheepishly to Sasuke who took another sip of the ambar liquid.
"I'm not seducing anyone, that's why I came here with you didn't I?" The black haired man left the glass over the bar, looking at the blond seriously.
"I really don't mind, if this is the easiest way, feel free to..." the paramedic started, but the hot breath of his companion reaching his neck just below his ear, stopped any new word from leaving his lips.
"It minds me…" Sasuke said in a very seductive voice, feeling how the blond's body shivered at the closeness, "Besides, he's not my type at all, he's not like you."
Naruto ran out of words, reaching for the pale man's arm to give him a reassurance squeeze.
"Now…" Sasuke continued, with a raspy voice. "... help me make this man believe we are searching for a threesome or something so he gives us some info." Sasuke said, caressing the blond's cheek, while making direct eye contact with the half naked bartender.
"You are a pervert deep inside, aren't you?" The blond said, taking another sip of his own glass while he felt how Sasuke arranged his position facing the bar and taking the whole content of his glass in one go, signaling the bar man to approach for a refill.
"Hey… you are new around here huh?" the bartender said, arriving at the section of the bar they were resting.
"Sort of, I was a client of the old business of this place." Sasuke said, while he nodded at the bottle the bartender was signaling him for the refill. Naruto placed his now empty glass beside Sasuke's own and smiled at the barman.
"Really, then this change might take you by surprise, huh" he said, winking at the blond and serving the two drinks with precision.
"Sort of… mostly because of the people attending." Sasuke said, taking his glass waiting for the new ice to cool the amber liquid. "do you have a lot of regulars?"
Shrugging the shirtless man responded, never losing his smile."Some people here and there… You know, bartenders tend to memorize those clients who are generous with tips. " the man said with a suggestive tone and the policeman was taken aback.
"So, is there any highlight of the night? I've been told this place has wild parties." Naruto interrupted, attracting the attention of the man.
"Well… blond, it depends on how much fun you want to have." he responded, seeing two more clients from the other side of the bar asked him for a drink.
"I'm very fond of fun things." Naruto responded, and Sasuke found himself frowning for a second.
"Let me give you some advice; in here you can have as much fun as you want, cross the door, but believe me… it's hard to come back from that path...although I hope you do it, take your boyfriend with you." the bartender walked away with a sly smile on his face.
Naruto didn't break eye contact with the shirtless man until he turned around completely.
"Well, It looks like he is up to it... " the paramedic laughed lightly.
"Hn.." Sasuke muttered, taking another sip of his drink, "To cross the door...I believe he refers to that one opening at the bottom." Sasuke said, looking directly to the dark opening at the bottom of the place. "But I see people coming and going."
"Let's go see then." Naruto proposed, leaving his empty glass over the bar. His throat feeling slick from the alcohol ingested in one go and the boldness of those who had nothing to lose.
"I guess the bar man has nothing else to tell us. We still need to know who owns this place." Sasuke said, emptying his glass in one go and taking Naruto's hand, and starting to make themselves some space between the multitude that had suddenly crowded the place.
The loud music had changed a bit, now a deep electronic music had animated the dark place, illuminated by times with lasers and low light lanterns here and there, reaching the so called door was starting to look like a very hard task.
Naruto's grip on Sasuke's hand tightened as he felt how the movement of people dancing around him pulled him apart from the agent. The movement of the crowd blocking his way, once they were finally near the so called door, both pairs of eyes witnessed that what they thought it was a black door was actually a black silk curtain covering an entrance.
The agent located a not so crowded space near the entrance and stopped his steps, looking around him.
"I thought we were going in there." Naruto muttered very close to him, since the people around him didn't allow him to leave so much space between the two.
"I just want to see something before we change places." The policeman said, nearing his mouth to the blond's ear so that he could be heard. "What kind of people do you see here?"
"Hum.. well they are all pretty common I think." Naruto inspected the place, putting more attention than usual on the people's faces, clothes and actions.
"They all seem very comfortable… Although there's a lot of people, there is no holding back or shame, is it?"
"It can be the ambience? It has a very good energy. And those displays of nudity of the bartenders and those friends in that windows leave no shame in the place at all...look, in the second window is a live sex show." The blond said, signaling the window he was referring to.
Sasuke looked all the way to the place, in fact, a couple was actually doing it, the girl inside the 'window' was against the glass, so her full nude chest was at display for the whole club.
"If you are interested, you can go next, windows are free use." A clear voice came from Sasuke's right side, taking him by surprise. Both, the blond and him turned around to see the woman talking to them. Her skin light and creamy, her hair short and slick black, her body covered in a black dress not too revealing neither from the chest or the bottom, but accentuating her figure in the right places.
"Thanks… we are just, looking around." Sasuke responded, smiling to her pleasantly.
"Well… it's a shame, two handsome boys like you, I would love to see that." She said charmingly, taking a small sip of her drink. "I'm Shizune by the way."
"It's nice to meet you." Naruto responded, extending his tanned hand to the eccentric woman. "Thanks for the handsome." He said, taking out one of his grins.
"Just speaking the truth." she smiled back, and Sasuke targeted her new information source, finding in this woman one of the regulars the bartender was talking about.
"You seem to know the place very well." the policeman's deep voice atracted the attention of the woman that was watching the live sex standing next to them.
"You know, the usual, but I'll admit I have made my visits a frequent thing. It's just so fun, so… liberating."
"You must be very close to the owners then… oftenly regulars tend to." Sasuke finished, feeling not very proud at all about the disguise of that question, even though the woman didn't seem to notice the direction he wanted to head and didn't feel the question was out of place, because she answered quite pleased to keep talking.
"It is a whole mystery, they never show themselves, or not that I know. Yesterday I gave a man some nice handjobs and while we were at it we were talking about the place. They have made a really big thing out of this, I bet it is because they are buying small businesses and transforming them into a chain thing or something. But you know, I really don't mind that whole clean market competence, there are not many places like this. We are free here."
Sasuke nodded at the woman's words, his brain running at full speed, although he could start to feel the lightness of those double whiskeys affecting his judge.
"You know, we really wanted to feel that freedom here, but since this is our first time coming here..."
"Oh! honey!, you guys are just starting this path, enjoy yourselves...I meant that. There are no rules in here, my advice, say yes to all that is offered… maybe you hit the jackpot." Shizune finished, shrugging while laughing charmingly.
"Offered? like drugs?" Naruto retorted, his eyes opening like plates.
"Yeah… like drugs, like live sex on a window, if you are lucky you might find the pleasure itself. I've been told about it a lot, but I'm still sticking to the terrenal stuff. But you see, with pleasure and desire...there is no half point, you just go up and up."
"Sounds fun..." Naruto smiled innocently, but Sasuke could see how his cheeks were slowly tinting with a red flush.
"...Start with the cabins…, after some time I might be able to see you both performing for me up there." a man approached her and she said her goodbyes, waving and winking to both men.
"Alright, that was very weird..." Naruto said, turning around to face Sasuke, who didn't comment on the conversation they just had.
"Are you ready to go in then?" he finally asked, looking at the blond directly in the eye.
"Seriously, I'm not ready for the window but… we can do it in a cabin." the paramedic responded, caressing playfully the agent's chest.
Sasuke looked at him playfully "I'll pass the window, I prefer you on my bed, on my house, the cabins are just… not that fun."
"I have never been in a sex cabin, come on!" Naruto winned, feeling quite turned on thinking of the small space and the body of Sasuke against him.
"First things first, I think we are dealing with some hard drugs in there, you heard her… 'she had been told a lot about it' what does that even mean.?"
"We should go in there and find out..." The blond said, waiting no time and walking straight ahead to the black curtain, the policeman behind him.
/
When Sasuke's lips attached to his neck, scraping softly with his teeth the tanned skin, quick and hard breaths caressing him, Naruto knew his case was lost, now, with a massive hard on on his pants and surely in the pale man's own pair of pants too, they were in the middle of a hard election, stay or leave.
After they had cross the black curtain, the music had started to decrease intensity and now a very mellow music reached their ears, the inside of the passage they could barely see was illuminated with an odd red light, their vision was almost nule and quickly naruto noticed the sound of moans reaching his ears again, at first they both thought they had returned to the erotic-cinema, or that maybe they were above it, after walking about 20 minutes, they saw that there infront of their eyes 5 people were engaged in a very noisy, and lewed orgy, three men and two women, moved rithmically, their bodies blended between leather cords and playful hands that roamed their exposed skin.
The circular bed where they lay was big enough to accommodate 5 bodies and still leave enough space, the low light made every action and movement very unclear, but not invisible to the eye.
Sasuke has seen and done a lot of thing in his life, he was not ashamed about them, but neither he was willingly open to just admit everything out, even with his 'experience' on the erotic field, after his first time with a girl from hihschool, his atraction to men and wemen during police academy and his first gay relationship, he wasn't used to met face to face and in such a blunt way with a full display of carnal desire.
An intense heat overpowered his whole face, he thanked that the red and low light disguised perfectly the uncontrollable reaction of his body, with his mouth dry, he tried not to look that interested, although his thoughts were absolutely focused on the scene before them, he sensed how Naruto's proximate body tensed, after all even with all the experience in the world if you are not prepared to see something you are definitely going to get struck by it.
Feeling that awkward sensation when you want to look but you don't want anyone to see you are looking, Sasuke kept walking, taking his sweet time to look around him, finding just more from the same in his surroundings, not surprisingly, the more he walked inside the place, it got bigger, and the variations of couples and scenes got wider. His eyes were now completely adjusted to the low light and he could see how far the farther corner three other rooms were displayed, surely occupied.
The infamous cabins were placed on his left side, a cheap sign of "occupied" or "free" was displayed to know where to go. And silently the nervousness of the voyeuristic situation started to decrease, as both men discovered that they were not the only ones wandering around and watching careless scenes worthy of Marquis de Sade's novels. In some corners two people were making out, some other talking as if nothing was happening around the place. Swings, loveseats, small couches and large sofas, accommodate the principal room that connected the other further rooms and passages, giving the room a vibe of lounge bar, plus the shameless display of sex in some spots.
A shiver went through Sasuke's spine as they finally stood in a spot between some tables and a loveseat, as he had predicted, he was now very much distracted thinking in how his pants were starting to get uncomfortably tight and breathing was more and more difficult, a tingling roaming his lips and lower neck, and heat emanating from his body, he thanked to his earlier self to be smart enough and leave his leather jacket on the car, because he would have discarded the piece of cloth in a blink. "Fuck..." he heard mutter, his presence didn't went unadverted, It was just that the policeman was trying to hard not to think in his own satisfaction with the other's body, so for now he was doing a great job ignoring him, but as soon as he heard the small curse, he proved the obvious.
Naruto was as turned on as him.
Feeling on the verge of reason, Sasuke ignored the suggestive looks and sly smile on Naruto's face. He did want the same, but his compromise on the case was a bothering tingling in his brain he couldn't turn off, so he desperately searched for any other fortunate person willing to talk.
"I don't think there is anyone here that would want to use his time talking." Naruto's low raspy voice reached his ears, his words caressing his neck and the proximity of his body allowed the policeman to feel his hard body and clear erection against his hip.
"Yeah… thanks for the update." He responded sarcastically, suddenly weighing the truth behind those words, because there was in fact, no doubt at all that inside that place the last thing anyone would be helping him with was in responding to some questions.
"So… what do you want to do, ...Sasuke? I... don't want to be a distraction, I've been behaving myself until now… but, now I don't think I can still help you with that." The blond's hands pulled Sasuke's black belt, and tugged a bit the black fabric covering his torso.
Sasuke turned around to face him, taking his both wrists, immobilizing him, a fereal look on his black orbs that Naruto found violently attractive. Their lips merged on a hungry kiss that between bits and the intense force of the clash his lip was slightly cut, letting the taste of his blood merge between Sasuke's search for his contact. Pushing his body against the near wall, the paramedic felt the hard surface holding his back, feeling the attack of the policeman's kisses against his neck and his bold fingers sneaking between the buttons of his shirt, starting to unbutton desperately to uncover the heated skin beneath.
So he was really a lost case, he had craved for days, hell for endless hours being near Sasuke, even though he had had the chance to when he was at his apartment and the night they went out to dinner, he had stopped his more primal insticnts on making any stupid desicions because of the circumstances they were at, but now, looking around him, what other better circumstance was he waiting to have mind blowing sex with the man kissinghim and roaming with his palms his back. And as much as he wanted desperately to just let the pleasure and lust blind his mind, he was well aware of his surroundings and something just didn't give him any comfort.
"I don't want to share you with anyone..." Sasuke whispered against his lips, biting the blond's lower lip, and making a pause to his caresses.
"You don't have to, I'm not planning on any threesome or something either." He responded feeling how Sasuke's hands started to button up his shirt again.
"What I meant is that I don't want anyone seeing you moan, squirm, and cry my name out loud, just me." the detective stated, reaching Naruto's hair, tanging his hand in the blond locks.
"We should get going then… now." the paramedic almost pleaded, admitting to himself that if any of his current situation continued he was not going to respond for any of his own and Sasuke's actions.
Leaving the rooms behind the black curtain was a hard task, taking in consideration that being surrounded by sugerent noises, images and well, almost everything that let their imagination go wild, didn't work on letting their lust go. Deciding that returning to the 'outside' was the best idea, they walked out the place, finding that the main club had changed little in the almost one hour and a half they had been on the other side of the black curtain.
The road home had been hurried and filled with the most irritating side of Naruto yet; to keep Sasuke on the brink of collapse with suggestive words and gestures that made the policeman's attention divert from time to time to his always present state of semi erection.
Arriving at Sasuke's house was a blurry experience from Naruto's point of view, since all the way from Sasuke's car to the stairs to the first floor the policeman had cornered him numerous times to steal a very indecent kisses between steps, Luckily Sasuke's agoraphobia play a good card here since they only had to climb to the first floor and soon they were undressing fastly, reaching the black haired man's bed.
His pale torso contrasting with the deep grey color of the covers, his hard erection standing proudly as he saw how the blond finally discarded himself from his last garment and instant his hard muscular body, that Sasuke liked so much, was over his finally the full contact of their skin, warming impossibly every touch.
The policeman's hands ran automatically to the perfect back he thought Naruto had, the muscular definition and strong frame was between all in his looks, one of the things he carved the most from the physical attraction he clearly had for him.
Caressing roughly the skin, the blond hissed against his lips, responding with a soft lick to the thin lower lip of Sasuke.
His consuming desire that had been piling up since the Pleasure Palace was coming down in one go on his body, his hard on was furiously weeping and not waiting any longer one of his hands leaved the abused butt of the blond and with soft pulls he started to pump his own member, making from time to time contact with the blond's own erection that collided deliciously with his lower abdomen and movements of his hand.
"Fuck, Naru, I'm allways up for foreplay… but now I really just want to fuck you hard and rough." Sasuke muttered harshly while taking both erections between his hands, making the tanned boy moan longly with the friction and the slickness of their precum.
The blond didn't needed wods to tell him how fucking turned on he was now, so much that even if he always claimed that he loved to take his sweet time with foreplay today was not the night he was willing to wait another second in inventive positions and tempting licks.
Raising himself up, he collided with the soft mattress, seeing Sasuke on his knees, caressing his thigh and with his other hand jerking him off in a sweet rhythm, his fingers slick from the precum made their way easily into his passage, his breath was difficult to catch as he felt how Sasuke's tongue traveled in a torturing slow pace from his collarbone to his chest and back.
A few seconds and a complaint from his part, Sasuke was making his way inside his body, the delicious pain of penetration miking with the abandonment of pure desire, making a blurry mixed signal of pain and pleasure that turned down every logical responde, letting the body move on instinct with a rhythmic pace against the policeman's delicious body.
Grunting against Naruto's ear, Sasuke's body was bent over the blond's own. His strong legs surround his hips with greed, making his trusts deeper and harder, the force of his grip making the fast pace he had started with, to decrease.
"Go slow Sas." Naruto pleaded between moans.
"Did it hurt?..I'm sor-"
"It didn't...I like it slow, very very slow." the blond interrupted, throwing his head back.
Shaking the bubble of concern that was starting to form on his chest, Sasuke conceded, remembering the last time he and the blond had fucked, how his slow pace had made him cum.
With ease he took his erection, leaving the blond's body, motioning to turn around. Naruto did as he was told and resting his weight on his knees and elbows, he looked how Sasuke was kissing lovingly his lower back, soon he felt how the pale hands reached his reddened erection caressing it with feather like touches from bottom to top, then the wetness of Sasuke's tongue caressed his entrance, feeling the rough texture against his sensitive skin and making him moan for the hundredth time, his eyes closing at the time and fingers gripping tightly the covers underneath him. After minutes of delicious pleasure, Sasuke's member return to his entrance, now with easiness, he welcome the heat, perceiving how the insanely slow movements allowed him to feel every inch of the other's erection with ecstasy, the pale hands trembling held his hips, as he reached the hilt and in a completely conscious decision, the blond squeezed Sasuke's member inside of him, ripping a moan and breathless mentions of his name.
Keeping the slow pace, Sasuke did noticed how the pressure in his lower parts was fastly increasing, the contrast between the slow movements and the need to just reach more friction made his head dizzy and his muscles tremble with excitement, letting his body keep a mix between fast trust and then some really really slow trust in between, making the blond came hard and steady choking his moan against the mattress, a few more fast and hard trust took Sasuke as well to his limit, spilling his seed all over Naruto's lower back.
In comfortable silence, they rested until their breath decided to return, Naruto upside down, and Sasuke facing the ceiling, the both kept their eyes connected, smiling pleased at each other.
"You are impossible to resist..." Sasule admitted, breathless. And the blond responded with a loud lough, followed with a cough.
"I kind of feel I ruined your mission though." the paramedic responded after a while.
"Nah… I got enough before my erection distracted me." Caressing the blond's cheek, he said smiling. "I just hope Gaara gathered some other information."
At the same time, on the forgotten pants on the floor, Sasuke's phone vibrated, announcing the arrival of a text message.
