Hi everyone! Chapter 3 is up (finally). Sorry about making you wait for what seems like an age. I think this will be the last chapter (sob!) unless I get forced to write more. Thanks so much for the reviews, especially from Marz, your review made me go all smushy inside! Hope you all like the final chapter. Be warned, it is slightly steamy so if you're uncomfortable with the idea then don't read it. It's my first lemony sequence too so please forgive me if it's a bit pants.
Seto Kaiba almost fell into his office many hours later. A silent cloak of darkness had settled and the only light in the room glowed from the face of the watch that was strapped loosely to the wrist of his puppy who looked, from the shape of his shadow, to be lying on the sofa by the window. Seto sighed, a mixture of exhaustion and relief to be back in his warm, quiet office with Jou. Seto dragged his heavy legs across the room and clicked on the lamp that was attached to his work table. A warm yellow glow washed over the contents of the room, casting softened shadows across Jou's delicate face. He couldn't help the content smile that graced his elegant features when he saw his puppy lying gracefully on the sofa. The welcome intrusion of light seemed to grant the illusion that an angel had fallen to Earth and was sleeping soundly in Seto's office, awaiting his return.
Seto slowly trudged over to the sleeping blond and sat carefully on the arm of the sofa by Jou's head. He gazed down upon the sleeping blond and he did not recall the moment his fingers had found themselves laced amidst the golden locks that were falling delicately across his puppy's blissfully content face.
Seto had missed Jou during the days he had been stuck in the office and even though he was worn out, partly due to lack of sleep and partly due to the inadequacy of his staff, he was determined to repay his puppy for the countless mornings he had woken up not to feel the brunette's protective arms clutching him tightly, but a cold empty bed that had been uninhabited since the early hours of that morning.
Jou stirred slightly from his warm slumber on the couch and slowly opened his eyes. His blurry vision permitted him to make out the vague outline of a figure looking down on him from above.
"Sleep well?" Seto asked quietly, his fingers still lost within the mass of golden hair. Jou smiled warmly as he realised the identity of the blurred human and he nodded, stretching and yawning widely.
"Did you manage to fix whatever it was that wasn't fixed?" Jou asked sleepily. Seto chuckled.
"Eventually."
Jou sat up languidly and Seto slipped off the arm of the sofa to sit beside him.
"I suppose we're stuck here overnight?" Jou asked, shifting to lean against Seto. A slow nod was the reply and Jou sighed. Seto moved his arm to curl around Jou's shoulder.
"It'll be fine." Jou said, inserting his usual thread of optimism into his words. "So long as you don't leave again." Jou mumbled these last words, nuzzling his head further against the brunette's shoulder.
"Of course I won't leave." Seto whispered, holding Jou more closely as he shifted to place a gentle kiss on Jou's forehead. Seto's heart filled with warmth as his puppy smiled, wrapped his arms around the CEO's waist and whispered;
"Good, because all that stuff about absence making the heart grow fonder is absolute arse gravy."
Seto laughed out loud at the crude phrase. Jou continued, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"'Cos I love you so much it's impossible for me to love you even more. You already mean more to me than anything in the world." Jou's whisper faded away and he hid his face, embarrassed at his sudden outburst of emotion and also at the fact that he always looked stupid when he tried to be smart. Seto smiled at how cute his puppy looked and nuzzled his head affectionately. Pulling him closer, he was able to breathe in the blonde's unmistakable scent that never failed to stir something deep within the brunette. They had been apart far too long.
"Seto," Jou mumbled, "there isn't much to do in this office is there?" He was trying to divert the attention away from his flushed face.
Seto smirked.
"Don't worry; I'm sure we can find a way to entertain ourselves."
Seto raised an eyebrow. His voice had lowered and a husky tone had settled within his throat. His words seemed coated in mischief and after the initial shock, Jou wasn't about to complain. He had been waiting too long for Seto to hold him, to touch him, and here was the perfect opportunity, handed to him on a silver platter. Lady luck must be on his side today.
Jou turned to stare into those stunning blue eyes and was almost instantly frozen in his seat as though he were mesmerised, the azure depths seemingly searching his soul. Unable to stop himself, he leaned in and pushed his lips firmly against Seto's. Seto hadn't been expecting Jou to be this quick on the uptake but he couldn't really blame him. They had not "seen" each other in a long while. Jou swiftly melted into the kiss, and made no effort to stop Seto from taking his wrists with strong yet gentle fingers and pushing the blond back down onto the sofa, hungry for the taste that was only his puppy's. Jou moaned involuntarily into the dragon's mouth and tried to gain a little more control but his attempts were useless. Seto seemed to suck Jou's energy from his mouth, leaving him disoriented and helpless beneath his lustful, powerful presence. Seto pulled away as his need for air became too great but stayed impossibly close, their breath fusing between them.
"Seto, I need – please." Jou gasped. Seto released Jou's wrists and, wrapping his arms securely around the smaller body, lifted him to a standing position. Jou pressed himself close to the firm chest before him, running his hands over the surprisingly well defined abs hidden beneath the silken material of Seto's shirt.
"I know. So do I." Seto growled before he attacked Jou' neck. Jou could only whimper under the overpowering actions of the brunette. He would not have been able to stay standing unless Seto had been holding him, an arm securely around his back and another around his waist.
Much to Jou's disappointment, Seto soon pulled away, breathing heavily. However, he did not loosen his grip.
"I think we need to take this somewhere a little more comfortable." He breathed heavily.
Jou looked up at him, quizzically but Seto only smirked.
Not taking his darkened, lust filled eyes off Jou, Seto guided them towards the large oak desk where Seto pressed a long, slender finger against one of the small silver buttons implanted beside his laptop. A thunderous whirring drowned the heavy pants emitting from the two boys. Jou started, pressing himself closer to Seto, which proved to be a costly mistake seeing how excited they already were. Jou yelped and Seto growled, his head lolled back slightly and his eyes fluttered closed as a surge of electricity coursed through his veins from the slight, friction filled touch.
The whirring continued and Jou turned lust filled eyes to the opposite wall, his hazy vision only adjusting after a few long seconds. A large panel was moving forward as though a hinge was attaching it to the floor. When the whirring finally stopped Jou simply stared.
A giant four poster bed was now lying on the floor, the headboard set flush against the wall. Elaborate material was cloaked across the delicate wooden supports and the bedding was made from a rich blue and golden material. Seto turned Jou back to look at him.
"I was hoping you would come and see me one day." He muttered, directing his attentions back to Jou's honey bronzed neck. Jou laughed slightly in disbelief, realising that he should have expected no less from the legendary Seto Kaiba. "I hope you like it."
Jou was spared the effort of replying by the sudden re-appearance of Seto's warm lips against his own. Jou allowed himself to melt into his mouth; his muscles relaxing as Seto hungrily took charge.
Lost in their own world, Seto guided Jou carefully to the bed, swiftly removing his puppy's shirt, attacking the freshly exposed stomach with no hesitation, knowing that it was a weak area for Jou.
"Seto" Jou gasped, burying his hands in Seto's thick, soft hair. Seto looked up at the panting boy to find half lidded eyes gazing mistily at him. Seto climbed up the bed to cup Jou's cheek with one of his strong pale hands.
"Are you alright?" He whispered seriously. Jou closed his eyes and smiled gently. His hands that were still lost in Seto's hair pulled him closer until their foreheads were touching, their lips mere millimetres apart. Jou's eyes tore open and Seto's breathing halted abruptly. The words that escaped Jou's full, moist lips proved to crash through all barriers of restraint that Seto had mustered from the moment their lips had first touched.
"Love me."
Jou slept in Seto's arms that night.
As he became slowly more aware of the warm winter sunlight playing across his face, Jou noticed that something was different. Not only was he not in his own bed, he was not alone. Firstly he felt two arms encircling his thin yet muscular waist, followed by the realisation that a firm chest was pressed against his back and long legs were twisted with his own.
"Seto." He sighed blissfully, long warm breaths tickling his neck. The tall hot body encircling him shifted and a low chuckle filled his ear.
"Morning pup."
Jou leaned back against him as Seto's arms tightened slightly.
"You know that's the first time I've heard you say 'good morning' in quite a while."
It was Seto's turn to sigh.
"I'm sorry love. Can you give me a chance to make it up to you?"
Jou heaved himself up and lay down again, now facing the brunette, an eyebrow raised in question. Seto couldn't help but smile at the beautiful sight before him. Jou's eyes were still sleepy and his hair was dishevelled, some strands still plastered to his forehead, a result of the night just gone. Seto replaced his arms around the blond and kissed his cute little nose.
"I think I'm going to take a little holiday, and you're coming with me."
Jou gaped at him in disbelief. If the brunette had not been right there in front of him, he would have not have believed that those words had just fallen from those very same lips.
"Are you serious?"
Seto smiled.
"Any excuse to spoil my puppy."
With that quiet comment, Jou became warmly content, snuggling down into the embrace, allowing himself to treasure the feeling. Blissfully aware that there was no one like Seto.
And that Seto belonged to him.
I hope you liked it! I apologise again for making you wait so long. I have just had so much to do lately this just got pushed to the bottom of the pile. Please review and tell me how I did, there are lollypops for reviewers! I was thinking of writing about when they are on their little holiday but I'm not sure. Please give me your opinions, they are always welcome!
