AN: Another chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. And I posted a foursome at Adult fanfiction, under the normal category for me.
Rei pulled at the neck of his black turtleneck, hoping that Arielle wouldn't notice the bruise. He quickly wrapped his hair back up, trying not to think on what had happened yesterday. Somehow, the thought of doing things in the back of the limo that would cause his grandmother to roll over in her grave had never been high on his list of priorities.
"I have got some serious issues." The neko-jin pocketed his keys and grabbed his jacket, ready to bury himself into his work and start cleaning his office so he could rearrange it. Anything to get Kai out of his mind.
When Rei got to the store Arielle and Zane were already there, doing some minor cleaning. "Morning!" Zane looked after the retreating neko-jin, a blonde eyebrow raised in question. "Is it just me or is he in an extremely good mood?" The woman nodded. "He is. I wonder what happened yesterday."
Rei brushed his bangs back, catching the end of their conversation. "Just went to lunch with a friend. Nothing big." Arielle smiled, brown eyes drawn to Rei's neck. A small purply-blue spot was just barely visible. "I'd say it was a rather special friend."
The neko-jin immediately knew what she was talking about. He tugged at the fabric, a blush staining his face. "I was hoping you wouldn't notice." The brunette shrugged. "Next time wear a longer shirt. So, does this person have a name?" Rei moved behind the counter, reorganizing jars. "Nope. I've got an idea. Why don't you guys come over tonight for dinner. We'll have a big store dinner party. Bring Chris and Shelby."
Zane shrugged. "Sure. I'll go call Hannah and Drake." The neko-jin smiled and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, rapidly scribbling on it. "Here's my address." He handed it to Arielle. She glanced down at the paper, eyes widening in shock. "How the hell do you afford a house downtown?"
Rei blushed. "It's not mine. A friend is letting me stay there until I work some issues out." He pushed the little voice aside that was calling him Kai's slut. Arielle just nodded. "Okay, I can take a hint. I won't pry anymore. I think we'll just car pool."
The raven haired man smiled. "That wor-." He shook his head. "No it won't. They're very picky about who parks up there. I'll send Ralf to pick you up." The brunette pocketed the piece of paper. "Ralf?"
Rei vaulted over the counter and flipped the sign to open. "The limo driver. He's Russian, so if he goes off sounding like a barbarian, don't worry about it. At least he won't corrupt Chris and Shelby."
Clare was in the kitchen, making a large pot of something that smelled like spaghetti sauce. "Clare." She smiled at the neko-jin. "Master Kon. What can I do for you?" The neko-jin got a glass out of the cupboard as he answered. "I'm having some people over for din-"
The housekeeper nodded. "I already know. Water for pasta is on the back burner and I have rolls in the oven. I have to go now. My husband is sick. Good night." She handed him the sauce spoon. The plump woman bustled out of the kitchen and minutes later Rei heard the door close. With a final stir to the sauce he went to lock the door to the weapons room. Chris and Shelby really didn't need to see it.
Rei pulled the rolls out of the oven just as the doorbell rang. He dropped the pan on the stove and ran to the door, yanking it open. "Hi. Come in." Arielle pushed Shelby and Chris in, looking around the living room of the penthouse with wide eyes.
The carpet was thick and black, seeming to eat feet. The walls were white with red trim around the top. The west wall was made of windows, a balcony barely visible in the darkness. The furniture was black, white and red leather, giving the room a slightly gloomy atmosphere.
Zane, Hannah and Drake stepped in behind Arielle with the same shocked expression. Hannah looked at a statue of a gargoyle that flanked the door. It stood on hind legs wearing a loin cloth and carrying a massive sword. "I know. The art is a little..." he trailed off, looking for the appropriate word. "Eccentric."
Zane nodded. "Yeah, but the house is magnificent." The neko-jin nodded. "It is. I almost wish it was mine. I would redecorate, but other then that I love it." Shelby and Chris were wandering around the living room, looking like they were about to die of boredom. "Come on you two. I have a special room just for you.
Rei pushed open a massive set of doors, letting the twins in before him. The room had a high ceiling with a dark blue carpet. A massive entertainment center stood against one wall, decorated with a massive number of electronics. "I assume you two could run Pay-per-view?" They nodded. At ten they knew how. Although they didn't get to order movies very often due to Arielle's restricted budget. "Good. You're welcome to come back here after dinner. Nothing bad though." The twins giggled before going back to tell their mother about the room.
Rei pushed his guests into the dinning room, refusing any help. "This is my treat. You guys have done so much work at the store over that last week that you just need to relax." Moving with quick efficient movements he set the table,
Zane picked up the sleeping Shelby, smiling. Right after dinner the twins had gone back to the entertainment room to watch movies, coming out only once to get ice cream. They had been so quiet that several times the five adults had forgotten they were in the room. Rei wasn't sure how many movies they had watched, but he was certain that Kai was going to love the bill.
Arielle stretched up and kissed the neko-jin on the cheek, careful not to jostle Chris. "We had a great time. We should do this more often." Rei nodded, leaning against the door frame. "We should. Maybe some time with in the next two weeks. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Rei turned off the overhead light in the living room, yawning. It had been a long, boring day and he was more then ready for bed. He was just about to turn off the light next to the couch when the doorbell rang throughout the penthouse.
He opened the door to find Ralf standing in the door, grey eyes totally emotionless. "Yes?" A smile stretched over the Russian's face. "Master Hiwatari requests your presence." The neko-jin frowned. "And I take it he wants me to get all dressed up for him."
Ralf's smile widened even further. "No. He said disheveled was good." Rei slid past the chauffer and slipped his shoes and coat on, silently fuming about Kai's lack of caring for the time of day. He felt like a surgeon on twenty-four hour call.
Ralf dropped him at the front of a massive mansion, before pulling around the mansion. Rei timidly knocked on the door, feeling horribly out of place. He wanted nothing more then to be back at his own little house, never to see Kai again.
The door was opened by a short, straight backed, bald man dressed in a black shirt with white pants. "Ah, Master Kon. Master Hiwatari is in the parlor, third door on your left." The man stepped to the side, watching the neko-jin pass with a slight smile.
Rei slowly pushed open the door to the parlor, trying to fight down his nervousness, all the while fighting down the urge to touch the bruise on his neck. It was his hope to get out of the house without any touching or more bruises.
Kai was standing behind the couch in front of the fire, staring into the flames that burned cheerfully in the fireplace. The neko-jin hesitantly stepped into the room, closing the door with a soft click. The Russian turned, mahogany eyes burning with desire.
Rei, in a moment of sanity loss, allowed his eyes to wander over his over his former captain. The taller man was wearing a pair of dark cargo pants and a tight black tee shirt. His feet were bare and a choker hugged his throat, the silver studded moon glowing slightly in the firelight. He looked dangerous and seductive, something Rei was finding hard to ignore.
"Rei. Nice of you to join me." The neko-jin folded his arms across his chest, golden eyes slightly slit with anger. "Not that I had much of a choice." Kai laughed the sound deep and dark. "You did. Would you like anything to drink?" Rei hesitantly shed his coat, carefully draping it over the chair next to the door. "Tea."
The Russian nodded and moved to the wall, gently pulling a black velvet cord. The butler appeared at the door, a small, knowing smile twisting his thin lips. "Master?" Kai brushed his slate hair back before answering. "Tea and wine." The older man sketched a bow before turning on hell, shoes soundless on the hard floor.
Kai sat down in a black leather armchair. "Sit down. I'm not going to bite." The neko-jin raised a skeptical eyebrow but sat on the couch, only a small table separating his from the slate haired man. They sat in silence for several minutes before the butler returned. He handed a delicate wine glass to Kai, burgundy liquid gently sloshing against the side. The tea he gave Rei was gently steaming and the smell was vaguely familiar but the neko-jin couldn't quite place it.
The silence continued to stretch out, although it was more comfortable. Rei shifted slightly, feeling overly warm. When he had first entered the room it had been a little on the chilly side but now it was as though the room had turned into a sauna.
The neko-jin set his glass to the side and stretched. He could vaguely feel the Russian's eyes on him. Glancing over he realized that Kai was watching him, a smirk twisting his lips. Rei had a horrible feeling he knew why that tea had seemed so familiar. "Kai, what kind of tea was that. It was interesting."
The slate haired man set his glass on the table, mahogany eyes burning with lust. "Catnip." Citrine eyes widened and he silently yelled. Catnip acted as an aphrodisiac to him. Back when they were still a team, Tyson had randomly brought one of the plants home. Rei had sequestered himself in his and Kai's room until the plant had been gotten rid of and the house had been aired out.
Kai had come into the room and Rei had nearly jumped him, the Russian's scent almost as intoxicating as the catnip. He had escaped out of the window seconds before his control had broken.
Rei closed his eyes, trying to ignore Kai's scent. It was just as intoxicating as he remembered. Kai watched Rei, intrigued by how susceptible the neko-jin was to the simple plant. Rei's lithe body was tensed to the point of trembling.
The raven haired man looked up at Kai, golden eyes dilated with pleasure and need. Moving with fluid grace he sat in the Russian's lap, nuzzling and nipping at Kai's throat. Kai slid his hands under Rei's shirt, tracing random designs on the smooth skin. The neko-jin moved closer to the hard body, wanting more. He growled in frustration when the Russian pushed him away.
Getting to his feet he made to move away, feeling the need burn through his veins. Strong fingers curled around his upper arm and drew him closer. Kai placed a light kiss on his lips, tongue darting out teasingly.
Rei getting the idea opened his mouth in submission, as the Russian took his mouth with his claiming tongue. Kai pushed Rei over to the couch, and gently pushed him down, then lay on top of him. Both males were fully clothed, but their contact still felt oh so good.
Kai ground lightly into Rei's crotch making him moan with need, the feline body curled against his partner's hard body. "Please?" Moaned Rei. Kai shook his head so that his hair tickled Rei's nose. Not yet, not yet. Kai bit his neck and Rei squirmed. He wasn't sure how long he could hold back, but he knew Kai wasn't going to let him off easy.
