Chapter 25

(warning slight lemon)

(Kaoru's POV)

"Where did you go?"

I glance down at Sophia. The two of us were lying in bed, one of my shirts hanging off her small frame. We had finished our celebration, dinner and drinks with friends. Of course, as everyone was under age the drinks were pop, energy drinks or anything else we grabbed off the non-alcoholic rack. Being a school night and the looming weight of final exams fast approaching killed any inappropriate yet fun ideas.

"Hmm?"

"At my tournament? You left."

Flash back

I lean against the seat, feeling the car slow down. My body stays still, glancing up at the large building before me, the large glass doors reflecting the outside world. Japans Police department. Within moments I'm out of the car, through the doors and standing before the blonde receptionist at the front desk. Her polished red nails clicking on the keyboard before her and her head tilted to her left shoulder to hold the phone with no hands.

When she hangs up, I speak. "Excuse me."

"Yes-" From the sudden way her words die in her throat and the dramatic bulging of her eyes I assumed she recognized me. "Ah- Um- I-"

The blonde looked about five seconds from peeing herself when a deeper voice speaks.

"Kaoru Hanayama." I turn, silently taking in Police Chief Morio Sonoda. His usual green suit and piercing black eyes bore into my questioningly "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick someone up."

While it wasn't a new thing for my men to end up in jail, having the head of the organization making a personal appearance was.

..

..

"Here he is."

Sonoda and I stood before the cell, staring at Sophia's father lying on the bench, arm tossed over his face. He'd been tossed in jail for brawling in a bar and judging from the blood on his hands and shirt it had been a bad one.

At the sound of words Sophia's father turns his head "Oh, what the hell are you doing here?"

I stand there, not bothered by this act of aggression in the slightest "I came to get you."

"Your bail is paid and your to be released into Mr. Hanayama's care." Sonoda says, still staring at the two of us questioningly.

"I'm not going with you," he hisses "I called my daughters phone."

"Sophia's in the middle of her kendo tournament. Even if she could I wouldn't let her leave, she's worked too hard for this."

"Wow..." he muses, sitting up with a struggle "You almost sound like you care about her."

My face remains the same as I look down on the man before me. It hurt to see him like this, to see the man Sophia so desperately needed wasn't there.

"My men will take you to the hospital, to get your injuries checked out, then they will bring you home."

"Like hell I am. I'm not leaving with anyone but my daughter." When he goes to move I step before him, calmly staring at a man drowning in deep pain. A man content with dragging everyone else down with him. He laughs, staring at Sonoda "This is ridiculous. He's a criminal!"

"I'm not letting you see Sophia like this, she doesn't need this right now." I turn to look at two of my men "Take Mr. Jones to the hospital then home, and make sure he stays there for the evening."

"It's just some trouble at work."

She snuggles closer to me "Is everything alright?"

I wrap an arm around her body, pulling her a bit closer to me "Yeah..." I whisper, placing a kiss on her head "Everything's fine."

(Sophia's pov)

I slide my key into the lock and open the door. I shift a few things into my left hand and smirk when Takeda reaches over my arm to grab them.

"I got it,"

I chuckle but allow him to grab the rest. He places the papers into the large bag on his shoulder and adjusts the large trophy in his hand. I had asked him to place it at the Dojo with the others but considering the circumstances he thought it would my father some good to see it. I take in the two sets of shoes on the mat and place my beside them. I let Takeda get himself settled and shift through the mail I'd gotten moments before. Most of them were restaurant fliers and a few letters to Takeda.

"Hey Sophia?" I toss the mail onto the table

"Yeah?"

"Can you help me move some boxes upstairs?"

I say it for a moment, the last letter was hidden under the others but the bold red letters mostly covered by the others were hard to miss. DUE stared back at me. I move my hand, wanting to look at the rest of it when a loud thump was heard upstairs.

"Sophia!"

I jump, turning to the stairs "Coming!"

..

..

When I came back down Dad was at the table, drinking black coffee to counteract his hang over. I glanced at the clock, biting back the urge to chide him as it was almost supper and pick up the mail. I flip through the mix of papers looking for the red lettering and do it twice before I notice its gone.

"Hey dad, is this all the letters?"

He glances up, rubbing a hand on his face "Why?"

"I just thought I saw one for me."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Well check again."

"I did."

"I'm not sure what you're suggesting Sophia." His eyes narrow slightly "The mail is right there."

We lock eyes, both waiting for the other person to speak. It was obvious he knew what I was talking about yet he outright lied. He was hiding something.

I shake my head, focusing on dinner instead of a fight "Never mind..."

Takeda enters the room, placing a hand on my hip, looking at the ingredients I'd pulled out this morning as he reaches up to grab the large mixing bowl.

"Do you want some food with that coffee Mr. Jones?"

Dad only groans, placing his head on the counter.

I walked down the hall, swerving around a few people. Kizaki was hot on my heels.

"Sophia, you can't go in there! The boss is in an important meeting."

When he reaches for my arm I spin around, slamming the heel of my palm into his nose and watch him crumble "First of all, do not ever touch me again. You lost the right when you held a blade to my throat. Second, I am Kaoru's girlfriend and if HE says he can't see me then I will wait but considering he said I could come over that seems highly unlikely."

Kizaki moves, bringing a handkerchief to his nose as I turn and make my way quickly down the hall. I hear Kizaki move, trying to grab me again and I hit the door, opening it quickly and all but burst into Kaoru's office. Instead of multiple people or some video-chat Kaoru was sitting at his desk, computer shut off and three papers in his hands.

I can't miss the smile that graces his lips "Sophia."

My eyes are on Kizaki, the older male had stopped in the hallway, an unsure look on his face.

"What's going on?" Kaoru's head turns between the two of us.

"That's what I'd like to know."

Kizaki sends me a look, a sure sign that this conversation was far from over but he relents, turning down the hall quietly.

"Is everything okay?"

I pause. While I'd been pissed at my father and this feeling was gnawing at my insides the longer I stood in this room the more it hit me. I pace watching Kaoru's face grow more concerned.

Back and forth.
Back and Forth
Baki and Forth. Just say the words.

"You look like your going to tell me your pregnant. An odd thing as we haven't had sex."

I snap him a look and feel laughter bubble over "Really?" he smiles and I force myself to relax "Okay, this is probably going to sound crazy and I know this breaks so many rules." I feel myself start to pace again "And I know that this is really unfair, I mean REALLY unfair! God!" I toss a hand to my head "I mean he might never forgive me but I can't ignore it anymore. And I've tried, I've tried SO hard to just shut up and MASH IT DOWN!" I squish my hands together "but I can't! I can't just sit in the house and act like everything's okay when I KNOW it's not!"

"Sophia?" he sighs, setting down his papers

"You're going to think I'm crazy."

His eye brow raises slowly "Try me."

"I... I need you, to... look into my father's past."

He looks at me carefully "You want me to look into your father's past?"

"Past and present." I take in a slow breath and sit on the couch "I have never had a good connection with my father, he has never opened up to me about my mother or their separation and because I love him I respected it! But something is wrong, I can feel it!" I toss my hands up "He's hiding SOMETHING from me and I need to know what it is or I can't help him! And I know that your going to say but-"

"Okay."

I pause mid rant "What?"

Kaoru shifts, not bothered in the slightest by this and pulls out a book "I can have some people look into it."

"... Really?"

"Yes, we have a lot of members in this group, vetting people isn't that uncommon nowadays."

I chuckle, sitting on the couch "Oh, well I feel stupid now..."

"A little," he muses "You can be so dramatic."

I smile, standing up again and lean across his desk, placing a kiss on his lips. My hand moves to touch his cheek as he turns, kissing me back with as much enthusiasm.

I pull back, smiling softly "Hi."

"Hi."

I push the papers out of the way and crawl up onto the desk, Kaoru's hands grab my hips, pulling me across the desk easily and the chair rolls back to accommodate my body. I spread my legs over his lap, pulling him in for another kiss. I feel his large warm hands slide up my back, moving to hold my neck gently. The low moan of pleasure causes his hands to tighten and I smile, pulling his bottom lip into my mouth gently.

His hands lift, removing my shirt from my body and I sigh, leaning back in his steady hold and feel his warm lips against my flesh. I feel butterflies in my stomach and squeeze my legs. It felt so good to be with him. Being here made me forget. About my problems, my stress, my worries about my father. Here I could be a girlfriend. I lift my hands, running them through his hair and pull, lifting his head off my chest and onto my lips. I feel him smile at that.

"Mmm, Someone's getting bold."

I feel my core pulse to life, his low raspy voice drove me crazy. I tilt my head to the left, feeling his hot breath on my neck "It's easy when I'm with you."

My hands move, opening up his jacket, undoing the buttons until my palms hit flesh. They move down, my nails scrapping over his abs and this time he hisses in pleasure. The thought of bringing this giant to his knees was intoxicating. He lifts me up, pushing some papers onto the floor and lies me on his desk. With out height difference he could easily lean forwards, lips mapping out my upper body. His hands carefully slide down up my sides to cup my breasts, his fingers going over the tall mounds of flesh and down between the center, down over my belly button and around my hips. Its like I was a picture he was burning into his head, his fingers, so we'd never be separated.

I shutter, feeling hot air over my stomach, followed by his tongue. The warm wet feeling was instantly cooled by gusts of air and I squirm, biting my lip as he holds me down "Kaoru, please don't tease..."

He grins nipping at my skin and I move my hands, gripping his hair. I had wanted to lift him up, back to lips but he does the opposite, moving down "Kaoru."

My words were anything but threatening, no matter how hard I tried. His warm hands on my thighs felt so nice. It was moments like this that I loved and hated Kaoru sexual experience. He had three years of knowledge and could often leave my body a hot mess with a few simple touches.

My worries and fears were melted away by his touch. His firm fingers massaging my thighs and warm breath ghosting over my flesh. Small nips of pleasure as his hands slowly remove my pants. He does one leg at a time, peppering the flesh with a thousand kisses, temping licks and teasing nips. Its like my very flesh was water, he was worshiping my flesh. The other leg follows and my pants hit the floor. I was soaked, aching for more and he knew it.

I dared not look down, he had to much power like this.

But I have to after ten seconds of nothing. I feel his heat, his warm hands hovering over my skin and nothing. All movements had stopped. An act crueler than continuing. I stair at the ceiling, calming my breath and feel the small chuckle.

"I'm not saying it."

"Not saying what?" His fingers tease my flesh. I bite my lip.

He was so close, I could feel his hot breath on my core and the thin fabric of my underwear wasn't thin enough. We were at an impasse here, I bend slightly, moving my hands off my face just enough to look at him. Kaoru moves his thumb, running it down the middle and I moan loudly. My core was on fire. That moan only increases and his thumb moves back up, swirling over my covered clit. I knew he knew how wet I was, I'm sure he thumb was damp from the movements. But as his thumb moves down and up in slow teasing circles I knew he wouldn't move until I said it.

Until I begged.

I chuckle painfully, enjoying the feeling of his skilled fingers and curl my toes. Even like this I'm sure I could cum. I was getting close. I felt my breath deepen and my hands grip my hair tighter. It felt so good, my knees bent and he moves me closer to him, not giving me an inch of peace from his pleasure and I cave,

"Mmm, lover please. Don't stop."

His thumbs lifts, focusing solely on my clit and I close my legs. the gentle pressure felt amazing and I whine, feeling that pleasure build in my stomach, pushing me closer to the edge. I shut my eyes, warm tears gathering at the corners of my eyes and I shutter as I fall over the edge.. Tingles flood my body and I jolt up. His grip on my hips holds me down and I cry out as his strokes continue, quick tight circles and I feel a second orgasm follow the first. I toss my head back against the desk and swear in pleasure, and this time he left my hips lift. When his hand moves down my legs I feel them shake and carefully lower my body back on his desk.

It must have been quiet the sight. My body on his desk, flushed cheeks, messy hair, legs wide open before him and my chest shuttering. My whole body was humming with energy and I can't help but smile. I move on weak arms, sitting up. His hands move under my ass, gently kneading the firm muscles and I bite my lip.

I wanted more...

I needed more...

I- RING!

I jump. The sound of the phone pulls me out of my lust and I blink. Quickly remembering that we were in his office, full of men.

RING!

I glance at Kaoru, the man seemed annoyed with the interruption.

RING!

When Kaoru made no effort to answer the phone I smile, leaning back on the polished wood and lift my hand over my head to grab the phone on the corner of the desk. His smile comes back when I open my legs and slide his hand, now on my hips, over my underwear, my eyes burning with mischief.

"Hanayama's office."
