Takaba Ryuichi

Chapter 1: Ryuichi's Family

"Asami! Stop groping me! We're in public."

"Who? I'm sorry Akihito, I don't know anyone named Asami present…"

"You perverted old bastard! You know exactly who I'm talking about!"

"I'm afraid I don't, Akihito… My name is Takaba Ryuichi. It even says so on my business cards. I'm sure you remember our wedding…Mikhail released all those ostriches and Fei Long made him sleep on the couch for a month."

Akihito turned the colour of cherry tomatoes at the mention of their wedding. He had honestly thought Ryuichi was joking about taking his last name. When they had first visited Akihito's family, his parents had brought up the topic of marriage. Both of Akihito's parents had immediately taken a liking to Ryuichi and Akihito's mom had started calling Ryuichi her son-in-law a few hours after meeting him. Akihito's father, Suzuki, had joked that Ryuichi should take the Takaba name so Akihito would be forced to call his lover by his first name. After that comment, Ryuichi was determined to become a Takaba regardless of what Akihito thought. He had gone so far as to wear a white suit and walk down the aisle holding flowers while Akihito stood nervously at the alter waiting for Ryuichi.

Akihito's mother, Takaba Sakura, had insisted that Akihito and Ryuichi needed to have a traditional American style wedding similar to what she had. Sakura's mother, Emily, was an American who had married a Japanese man, which explained the blond hair that both Akihito and his mom had. While researching American wedding traditions, Ryuichi had stumbled across the garter toss tradition. Supposedly, after consummating their marriage, newlyweds in America would return to the reception and the groom would dive under his bride's dress to remove her garter with his teeth and toss it into the crowd. Ryuichi had considered wearing a garter just to taunt Aki and see how embarrassed he would become.

Although Ryuichi hadn't worn a dress nor lingerie, he had tossed the bouquet into the small crowd of people and oddly enough, Mikhail had caught it. He had turned to Fei Long to propose, but after his stunt with the ostriches, Fei Long had given Mikhail a thorough lecture about everything he needed to change before they got married.

Even after the extremely memorable wedding where Ryuichi legally changed his surname to Takaba, Kirishima would still refer to his boss as "Asami-sama." After a few mistakes, Ryuichi had threatened ALL his employees to refer to him as "Takaba-sama." He had stated that anyone who didn't complied would find themselves unemployed faster than they could say "Takaba." That threat had quickly put an end to whatever rebellious feelings Kirishima had.

Ryuichi's transition from "Asami-sama" to "Takaba-sama" was odd to Akihito because it effected how people referred to him. He went from "Takaba-kun" to "Akihito-sama," which seemed too pretentious to Aki. He still cringed whenever he heard Ryuichi's bodyguards call him "Akihito-sama."

"It shouldn't matter what name I call you, RYUICHI, you need to stop groping me in public! I'm referring to my doting husband!" Akihito said through gritted teeth.

Ryuichi smirked while using his left hand to tilt Akihito's face up to his, "Thank you Akihito. Is it so wrong for me to want you to call me by my first name?"

Akihito averted his eyes to focus on Kirishima's pursed lips as he was trying to socialize on Ryuichi's behalf at the party. Business clients, politicians, and everyone around knew to not interrupt Takaba Ryuichi's not-so-private moments between him and his husband.

"Don't look away from me Akihito."

Akihito suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. He knew that his husband would "punish" him later in the private room for displaying any sass while in front of any business associates and politicians. In a sarcastically sweet voice he replied, "Yes Ryuichi? Is there something you'd like?"

"Just for my husband to help me entertain business partners and other guests. And then I want to spend time with our family this weekend."

Akihito glanced down at Ryuichi's left ring finger. It made him absurdly happy to see that the crime lord wore the wedding ring proudly and used it to ward off other admirers. Anyone arrogant enough to approach Ryuichi despite his married status was immediately rejected and removed by either an exasperated Kirishima or an amused Suoh. He looked at Ryuichi with fondness, "OUR family? You mean MY family that you stole from me?"

Ryuichi laughed, "Stole? I didn't steal your parents. They just adore me."

"Don't you have your own family?"

"Not really. My parents divorced before having any more kids and I was never introduced to my half-brother. My mother disowned me after her boyfriend admitted he was gay and would prefer to be with me. My father died back when I was 18."

Akihito spluttered, his eyes widening as he heard about Ryuichi's parents. He had just assumed that Ryuichi's parents were like their son and far too busy with work to show up to their wedding. He was actually surprised Ryuichi made it through their wedding and honeymoon without any work-related disturbances.

"I'm sorry…" Akihito said quietly, unsure how to address the situation.

"It doesn't matter. You're my family now."

Was it possible to die from blushing? Although he would continually complain about Ryuichi's open displays of affection, Akihito was genuinely pleased with Ryuichi's sweet words. He knew he was special, but Ryuichi reaffirming it always made him feel giddy inside.

"Takaba-sama, Councilman Kobayashi would like to have a word with you about the upcoming election." Kirishima firmly reminded Ryuichi about his duties as CEO of Sion and started to herd the other man toward the councilman.

As Ryuichi walked over to a portly looking grey-haired man, Akihito helped himself to another glass of champagne. He tried calming his nerves as he thought about the lacy thong, garter belt, and thigh highs under his suit. Because he hadn't worn a white suit at the wedding, he felt it was only right for him to dress up for Ryuichi's birthday.

Now as he walked around the party, he started to regret his decision to wear the lingerie under his suit. It was supposed to be a surprise for Ryuichi prior to the party at Sion…and maybe a distraction so Akihito could have avoided the party.

Unfortunately, it seemed like Glasses Secretary knew he had a plan to distract Ryuichi, so he had taken it upon himself to ensure the couple wouldn't be alone with one another prior to the party. To Akihito's surprise, Suoh had greeted him at the penthouse instead of Ryuichi. Kirishima had decided to keep an extra suit at the office for Ryuichi, so he had no reason to return to the penthouse. Akihito pouted when he realized he was going to the party either willingly or tossed over Suoh's shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Being tossed over Suoh's would have made the thong ride up his ass so much more.

'Knowing the perverted bastard, he would say something like 'I'm the only one who is allow to hurt your ass' or something equally sexual.' Akihito thought. He snorted into his glass of champagne because that would definitely be something Ryuichi would say.

He tried to ignore his growing erection at the thought of his extremely attractive mate. The lace rubbed against the sensitive head of his cock, which was both painful and arousing. The pleasurable pain was similar to the last time Ryuichi had played with him in the secret room where Akihito had cum until he blacked out. Ryuichi was a pleasure dominant, who enjoyed driving Akihito to the brink of insanity with pleasure, which was both mind-blowing and exhausting. Often his punishments for Akihito's bratty behaviour were to force Akihito to have orgasm after orgasm until the younger man was trembling and begging for reprieve.

Akihito had been so wrapped up in his thoughts about the uncomfortable lace and his sexy husband that he didn't realize Ryuichi had finished his conversation with the politician and was walking towards him.

Sidling up to his little lover, Ryuichi pulled Akihito close to him before removing the younger man's glass of champagne.

"Hey! That was mine!" Akihito protested.

"Is that any way to talk to the Birthday Boy?"

"I'm pretty sure you're too old to be considered a boy, Ryuichi."

"Hmm. Perhaps. I still have more stamina than you, Akihito."

"Shut up! We're in public" Akihito hissed, eyes darting around to see if anyone noticed their private conversation. Fortunately, everyone was too busy celebrating Ryuichi's Fortieth Birthday to notice the two lovers talking.

Ryuichi smirked down at his embarrassed little blond, before leaning in and whispering, "I should bend you over and watch everyone witness me make love to my little husband. That way everyone would know that you're mine."

Akihito sputtered as he turned around to face Ryuichi and seemed to be tongue tied as he stuttered out "please…no…I…no!"

Interrupting Akihito's feeble attempts at warding him off, Ryuichi jerked his head to signal to Kirishima that it was time to wrap the party up. He was eager to unwrap his younger partner, who had promised him a little surprise for before the party.

As Ryuichi worked on saying goodbye and thanking people for their birthday wishes, he pulled Akihito close to him.

Snuggling closer to Ryuichi's side, Akihito let himself be led out to the limousine, excited for the fun that awaited once they returned to the penthouse.
