A/N: Here again! Hope everyone is well. I've had an eventful last several days to say the least but things are looking up.

The hole just keeps getting deeper for these boys.. I know.. And I'm not even sorry for it.

For those following, my dear friend Ms. Heart did us another cheeky little lemon over on Ao3 called "One Last Time" detailing the events that transpired from the previous chapter with Ray and the pink thing. As always the lemons aren't necessary for the story but I can't comprehend why anyone would pass up the opportunity to have some citrus in their lives.

Back to Kai in this one.

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 11 – No Funny Business.

After what felt like an eternity the phone eventually stopped vibrating along his wooden desk, Ray clearly giving up with being ignored and the office was filled with an eerie silence.

That was not how Kai wanted their first phone call to go but it was like word vomit he just couldn't hold any of it back.

He'd meant some of what he'd said though. He had missed him. The house felt dead without Ray's warm energy running through it and even with the heating on it still felt cold. To find out though that he'd rather spend his time off work playing happy families with Mariah and the other ferals of that damn village he just couldn't bite his tongue.

He just sat there. His elbows still on the desk with his hands locked together resting underneath his sniffling nose, staring off at nothing as the lost and empty feeling continued to numb him.

Frustrated with these wretched emotions and in an attempt to pull himself together, Kai snatched a tissue from the box that sat upon his desk and roughly wiped his face and nose before chucking it into the little trash can that sat down by his feet.

He pushed himself up from his plush leather desk chair and loosened his tie a little before grabbing his suit jacket that was draped on the back of his seat.

There was no point sticking around here to mope. If he was going to cry like a little bitch he'd rather be in the comfort of his own home at least...

After shoving his arms through his sleeves he swiped his phone from the desk, slipped it into his jacket pocket and made his way out; A quick flick of the light switch before he left had the entire floor consumed in the same darkness that too had taken outside. It was pitch black, the only light being the several street lamps that illuminated his path as he pushed open the glass exit door and the cold night air hit his cheeks like the slap in the face he probably deserved.

He turned to lock up the now dark and vacant building. Stuffing one hand in his pocket, shielding it from the cold, he took out his phone with the other and like the glutton for punishment he was went onto Ray's Facebook page.

His heart swelled momentarily as he gazed at his profile picture but instantly broke again when his eyes met the latest tagged photo. He couldn't get over how happy he looked in it and Kai honestly couldn't remember the last time he'd seen Ray smile like that.

Well. If he wanted to stay there, stay with her, they were welcome to each other! He was done caring!

"добрый вечер..." Dobryĭ vecher

Kai paused in his tracks at the husky voice and shot crimson eyes up from the phone screen. He definitely wasn't expecting to see Tala of all people stood outside of his office building and now that he had seen him there was definitely nothing 'good' about this evening...

"So you're stalking me now?" he bit out completely disregarding the redhead's pleasantries. He really was in no mood for this. The uncertainty of his current relationship status feeling like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. He just wanted to go home and brood.

Tala scoffed.

"Get over yourself kid I was just in the area. Saw your car was still here so figured I'd just stick around for a bit."

He pushed himself off the lamp post he'd been leaning on and took a few steps forward, stopping at the bottom of the stone steps as he looked up to Kai, his hands too leisurely resting in his black bomber jacket.

"Wanted to continue our conversation seeing as you hung up on me this afternoon and never text me back."

Kai threw him a dirty look before stuffing his phone back into his jacket pocket, pulled out his car keys and pressed on the key fob to unlock his car.

There was a reason for that. He had nothing to say to him, not after what he'd found out earlier on.

"Conversation's over Tala." His tone was low, almost deadly as he casually made his way down the several stairs to his car and stepped right past him, his gaze avoiding blue eyes entirely that remained locked on him. "Go home to your wife..."

Tala grabbed at his arm to stop him reaching his car door and Kai's head snapped back to him in challenge as he threw a heated glare. Though the redhead's expression held an unfazed look of amusement.

"Lemme buy you a drink, just as friends."

"No," Kai spat out and attempted to rag his arm from the taller males firm grasp only he held on to him tighter; the grey suit jacket becoming crinkled under the grip all the while gazes remained unwavering.

Tala loved it when Kai played hard to get, though never knew why he put up so much of a struggle when the outcome was always going to end in his favour.

"Just one. Or better yet, why don't we just head back inside?" he suggested, motioning to the tall building up the steps with his head. "All you rich business guys tend to keep a bottle of scotch or something in a drawer don't you? Just one, c'mon, what else you gonna do tonight? Is Ray back yet?"

Kai broke off from the interrogating icy eyes staring back at him that seemed to look even bluer in the moonlight. No, Ray wasn't back. Wasn't going to be back for at least another week because apparently the white tiger clan was higher up on his list of priorities than he was.

At getting nothing but silence, Tala's lips curled upwards and he simultaneously cocked a brow. Kai didn't even need to respond the answer was written all over his face.

"I'll take that as a no then?"

He loosened the grip on his arm before continuing, Kai roughly pulling away and straightening up his jacket.

"So lemme guess, you're gonna go home, shove a frozen pizza in the oven, then sulk and sob into some 'Ben n Jerry's' afterwards? Am I really all that bad that that's what you'd rather do than have a drink with me?"

Kai sent him a dull look. He had pizza yesterday. Was going to be a microwave meal tonight, actually.

Tala continued to whine out, "Come onn, just one."

Taking his hands out of his pockets to hold his hands up in defence, he gave Kai a neutral expression before placing a hand on his own chest to show his sincerity.

"No funny business. I promise. One drink, that's it. S'all I want."

The two weren't touching now but were still stood reasonably close at the bottom of the stone stairs. Kai's feet remaining firmly planted where he stood next to him on the pavement.

If he didn't know him any better Kai might have just believed the innocent mask Tala was currently wearing but he couldn't trust this guy as far as he could throw him. Not now. Not after finding out about his completely other life this afternoon.

With amber coloured lights flashing he took a glance over at his car parked up before him, LED headlights too switching themselves off as the Mercedes had auto locked itself again having had no response from its driver.

What was he rushing home for? Really? Except for his mac 'n' cheese meal for one, and whatever shit was on T.V tonight.

Besides the crying into ice cream since that wasn't really his style, Tala had hit the nail on the head. He really didn't have anything else better to do.

Kai knew that once again he was treading on dangerous ground here. Knew that he should really unlock his car again, get in it and go straight home but, he deeply exhaled through his nose and rolled his head, sending the same bored expression over to the redhead.

"Just one."

Tala gave him a nod in acceptance and with a wolfish grin dancing all over his face held his arm out towards the darkened building behind them.

"Lead the way then, Mr Hiwatari..."

x-x-x

With a flick of the light switch the office was lit up again. Kai leading the way and walking in first, he eased off his grey jacket and draped it over the arm of the black leather chair near the door.

There'd been many a time he'd still be at the office at this time of night - that wasn't the unusual part. The strange part was having someone else in here with him but it was just for one drink. A farewell toast if you will. Then they'd both go their separate ways and that would be the end of it.

'No funny business.'

And besides, the cat was out of the bag now. Like hell was he going to mess with a married man who had a kid on the way. Whilst his own morals had been questionable up to date Kai wasn't going to be a part of destroying a child's home before it had even made it into the world.

Tala let out a whistle, following Kai into the office and took a look around as he shook off his own jacket and plopped it over Kai's haphazardly.

"So this is where the other magic happens, huh?"

Kai gave him a slight shrug of his shoulders as he knelt down to open up the cabinet underneath his coffee machine and pull out the opened bottle of whiskey.

Work was just work to him. For years now he'd always been praised as this elite, successful, hardworking young business man but he didn't think a great deal of his achievements. He just got on with it.

"I guess," he muttered out.

Checking the place out as he walked over to the desk, Tala made himself comfortable in the chair behind it and kicked his feet up. Leaning back he watched Kai like a predator eyeing its prey as he poured the drinks.

"So have you heard from him at all?" he poked though disguised it as conversation.

Picking up the glasses and turning to face him, Kai's eyes shot straight to the bottoms of Tala's shoes. The very sight offending his eyes as he cocked a slate brow at him.

"I have..." he said in a low tone as he sauntered over to the desk and placed his glass down, retaining the redhead's drink until he got the hint.

Tala cocked a brow back, "Anddd?" he drawled out, "How's the kitty doing?"

Kai tutted, swiping the long legs off his desk with his free hand and replacing them with a firm set down of the whiskey glass.

"He's fine," he dully replied.

If Kai knew this was going to turn into the other fishing for information on him he'd have just got in his car and left. The last thing he wanted to do was delve into a conversation about Ray, and even if he did, it wasn't like he had any of the answers to give anyway.

It was fine though; Two could play that game...

"How's the wife?" he asked somewhat chirpy as he picked up his drink. "Heard she had a hospital appointment today?"

Tala smirked as he took up the glass and put it to his lips, sipping leisurely with a small groan in the back of his throat.

Kai's head tilted, too adopting a faint smirk as he waited for the answer he knew he wasn't going to receive.

"So what, we can talk about my business but not yours?"

"You choose to answer me, doesn't mean I have to do the same," Tala said as he sat his glass down, leaning towards Kai with his elbows resting on the top of his desk. That wolfish grin spreading along his face.

Kai rolled his eyes as he pulled out the chair opposite. He hadn't even cared for the answer, just wanted to highlight how one sided the guy was. Anything he really wanted to know though he was sure he could find out from his assistant...

Easing himself down into the seat his eyes did a quick scan, taking his office in from a whole new angle before narrowing some at the redhead in his seat. He'd never let on that it, sorta, kinda bothered him - but it did.

"Sooo if you don't want to talk about him, then tell me about what you do here," Tala said before his eyes bounced up and down Kai's person. "Besides looking gorgeous in that suit of yours..."

Without so much as even acknowledging his compliment Kai took another sip of his drink and shrugged. If Tala was going to remain tight lipped, well, he was the king of that.

"Stuff."

The wolfish grin became more wry as Tala slipped out of the chair behind the desk, sipping at his drink as he carried himself round to where Kai sat who was leisurely swirling his own drink around his glass. Demeanour seemingly completely unfazed though his eyes, rightly so, suspiciously followed the wolf sauntering over to him.

Their eyes stayed locked the entire way until Tala reached past Kai's shoulder to set his glass down. Pulling back to stand behind him, his hands ghosted over Kai's arms and up his shoulders.

"So tense."

Kai shifted slightly when fair hands made contact with him and was instantly reminded of the familiar scent of the other when he'd leaned in. The same firm, almost possessive grip of the redhead too flooded his mind as that same touch was one he hadn't stopped thinking about since they'd crossed that line the very night Ray had left.

"What are you doing Tala..." he tiredly questioned. It was a genuine one though Kai knew the answer. He knew how the guy worked by now yet even with that knowledge his resistance held clear reluctance. "... Go sit down."

"Now why would I do that?" Tala chirped as his fingers began to work into Kai's shoulders. "And unless you're going to pay me, I don't take orders from you."

"I'm pretty sure you said there'd be no funny business downstairs," Kai reminded, though deep down he was enjoying the pressure currently being kneaded into his shoulder blades. "We'll play this game though... How much do you want?"

Tala chuckled, knowing full well the money game wasn't one to play with Mr Hiwatari so redirected. "I'm only working your top stairs right now. Unless you want me to go downstairs..."

Kai couldn't help but smirk on the rim of his glass at the lame joke. He'd have made more of an effort to conceal it if he knew Tala could see him but knew he was safe with where he was stood right now.

"C'mon, knock it off, go sit back down," he then said more firmly and shrugged his shoulders to try get them out of his grip.

"Ugh. Fine," Tala huffed as he ripped his hands away from Kai's shoulders and sauntered back to the chair behind the desk, kicking his feet back up too just because he knew it pissed him off.

"Well damn. Be a dear and bring me my drink," he asked as he bat his eyes at him, nodding to his 'forgotten' glass on the table.

Kai bit the inside of his cheek as he took a glance to it and in his defiance, leaned more back into his chair.

He so should've gone home to the mac 'n' cheese...

"Are you like this at home?" he questioned, gesturing to Tala's feet on his desk with a nod of his head.

"Oh God no," Tala waved his hand about the air, "She's a neat freak and a half."

"Interesting," Kai lowly said through gritted teeth, his eyes narrowing and burning a hole through the bottom of his shoes now. With an idea coming to him he then leant over and swiftly pushed the glass across the desk towards him.

"Catch."

As the glass slid, Tala's eyes widened some as it reached the corner and near enough fell off as he quickly reached out and stopped it not a moment too soon.

"Such a gent," he teased, smirking around the rim as he sipped even with his heart racing in his chest.

Kai had a fun reckless side after all.

"So we have some drinks, but what about dinner? I'm sure you're hungry."

Kai ignored the low rumble in his stomach that was only being exacerbated the more he drank. It wouldn't have been the first time he'd ordered a pizza to the office but this was no date.

"You asked for a drink, Tala," he stressed, shaking his glass a little at him. "And you've got a drink. We don't need to drag, whatever this is, out any more than it needs to be. So if you're hungry, sip up and fuck off."

The guy was pushing his luck now. It was a farewell drink, not a welcome home dinner!

Tala's shoulders went up and down, looking unfazed at the snippy attitude. "Do you just like letting me around to verbally abuse me?"

"Pretty bold of you to assume I like you being around at all but I just give back what I receive," Kai nonchalantly countered, staring at his glass now as he swirled the amber coloured liquid around again.

Lips opposite curled some.

"If you didn't like me, you wouldn't let me around you so much.. You're not the kind of guy to keep unwanted company about," Tala said almost in a bored tone, getting the rest of his drink down and smacking his lips as he slid it back towards Kai. "And I'll have another," he added with a wink.

Kai's eyes trailed from his own glass to the empty one that had stopped before him before glancing up just in time to catch the wink.

"One drink you said."

"And you're still working on yours," Tala pointed out. "What, you just want me to stare at you 'til you're done?"

"Like you'd complain," Kai muttered out before setting his glass down and reaching for the bottle anyways.

Pouring more of the liquid into Tala's he too topped up his own glass while he was at it before pushing the redhead's back over to him. Once it had been grasped by slender fingers Kai spoke in warning as he screwed the cap back on the bottle and set it back down by his feet.

"We're done here after this one, understand?"

"Yes sir," Tala mocked at him as he rolled his eyes, pouting out his lower lip as he lifted his glass.

Kai took a decent swig of his drink in silence now and ignored the look that was being sent his way. They had to put a stop to whatever this was. They couldn't continue it forever.

They weren't friends. Far from it. They'd had a drunken fuck and that was it. Sure, he, for some bizarre reason that he'd yet to figure out, enjoyed being around the asshole. But Tala had a wife, and he... Well, Kai wasn't sure what he had right now but he knew it wasn't the redhead currently sat in front of him who was practically undressing him with his eyes now.

Tala's lips twitched into a smirk as he caught Kai's eyes staring back at him, he licked his lips subtly as he didn't look away and pulled himself off the chair again.

"You still look tense."

Kai lightly groaned as he set his drink down on the table. This again?

"Can't imagine why."

"Because you don't talk about your problems," Tala chided playfully, his hands wasting no time at slithering back on to Kai's shoulders. "Now, tell Tal everything," he cooed.

Kai lightly sighed through his nose, closing his eyes for a brief moment as a pleasant tingle ran across his shoulder blades again. Guy was good with his hands, he'll give him that...

"There's nothing to tell."

Tala rolled his eyes with an audible huff, "And this is exactly what I mean. One day you're going to implode."

Kai too rolled his eyes. He'd gone his entire life keeping any of his life's woes to himself, he was sure he'd be fine.

What was he wanting from him exactly? A list of all of the shit that was currently going on in his crazy world?

"Why do you even care, Tala?"

"I really don't. But it's not healthy to keep everything bottled up," he answered as he shrugged his shoulders again and dug his fingers a bit rougher into Kai's.

"I'm not keeping anything bottled up..." he argued in a mumble and closed his eyes. That same wave of pleasure coursing through him as he let his head drop a little forward. "Work's fine... Personal life's… fine."

"Mhmm. Sure," Tala mocked, seeing the bit of pale skin uncovering as Kai's head went forward. Smirking, working his hands, he leant down and ghosted his lips against the back of it.

Kai's breath hitched slightly and his eyes shot back open. His guard coming back up with a clear of his throat and a small shift of himself though Tala didn't move.

"It is," he stated more confidently. "Spoke to Ray earlier this afternoon, and he's wanting to stay away for another week.. which is fine.. I'm busy here anyway at the minute..."

"It can't be all that fine, be honest here. It's not like I'll hold it against you, or blackmail you. If that's what you think," Tala said against his neck, watching the finer hairs stand on end and goose bumps rise along his skin.

Kai's eyes slowly closed again, the thumbs working him and the warm breath prickling at his fair skin having him melt some again.

He should really make a massage a regular thing. This was bliss...

"Well no.. It isn't fine but, what can I do?" he divulged in a murmur. "Isn't like I own him... He can do what he wants..."

"You can do several things, actually," Tala started, his hands slipping around Kai's shoulders as he walked around to the front, promptly sitting down on his lap side saddle.

"Continue doing what you are and mope and brood, like you do when things don't go your way. Assert your dominance and demand he comes home, before the pink demon gets her claws in him. Or, take your ass there and drag him back yourself."

Kai blinked before raising a brow at how the other had just so casually placed himself on his lap though as brazen as it was it felt weirdly normal, and comfortable...

Whilst the suggestions he'd made were fine enough he couldn't just go and 'drag him back' because he didn't even know where the White Tiger Village was. Ray had never taken him or told him where it was situated, which, the mere thought of that now pissed him off.

What if there was an emergency? How would he know where to start searching? And as for asserting his dominance it was that that caused Ray to run off in the first place...

"It'll be fine," he repeated in a sigh. Deep down Kai knew that nothing would happen between Ray and Mariah again. The small niggle of doubt wasn't aimed at Ray because he trusted him. It was her he didn't trust. He was a big boy though, and could handle himself should she even attempt to cross a line...

Unlike some...

"I'm sure the skank can try all she likes, Ray's not gonna bite."

"I'd bite." Tala winked as he leaned closer to his lips, "But then again, you know that."

Kai pulled back a little to create some distance between them again.

"Hn, no need to remind me," he sent back with a scowl. Three days it had taken for his lip to feel better after the assault that morning. Three days. He should've pressed charges...

"Isn't exactly a surprise though you'd fuck anything with a pulse."

"I might," Tala grinned, twinning his arms around Kai's neck, his fingers playing with the strands of his hair. "Is that jealousy I hear though?"

Kai scoffed. "Please. If I wanted you again I'd take you." He turned his head from him, avoiding his gaze and the stupid grin on his face. "Once was enough. You might be fine with screwing around but it's not really my style."

"Was once really enough though?" Tala asked in a husky breath, running his hands down Kai's shoulders and arms.

Kai pressed his lips together as his heart started to pump faster in his chest.

No. Truthfully it hadn't been enough. Even though he was left royally battered and bruised he'd have another night like that in a heart-beat. But he wouldn't, couldn't, do that to Ray again. It would be the first and last time he'd ever do such a thing to him.

It was a mistake, a mistake that he wasn't going to make twice.

"I, think you should go," he forced out, knowing full well that it didn't sound at all convincing and the smirk opposite cemented in the fact.

"You don't want one little taste?" Tala taunted as he licked his lips, leaning back closer and holding Kai by the back of his neck so he couldn't move away this time.

He wouldn't force him though; he knew he didn't have to. Kai would fall into him just like last time it was just a matter of wearing him down.

Kai's lips now parted in anticipation as the redhead prowled nearer. The hand gripping the back of his neck making him feel safe yet vulnerable at the same time.

Why couldn't he resist him? Why was he so weak when it came to this guy?

"Maybe, just a little..."

His confession came out barely a whisper, almost trance like as he breathed in Tala's cologne again, it captivating him completely just like it had done before.

Tala licked his lips again, slow and sensual. "Then what're you waiting for, big boy?" he breathed.

Closing his mouth and swallowing, Kai internally kicked himself for letting his thoughts slip out to him again whist willing every ounce of restraint he could muster to at least try and stop this from going any further.

Why did he just admit that out loud? And why did he have to lick his lips like that?!

Push him off Kai. Tell him to leave. Get in your car and GO. HOME.

Hysterically jumping up and down on his right shoulder, the little angel was screaming into his ear now whilst the devil relaxed on his left. Casually looking over his sharpened claws with a smug smile dancing across his face.

Crimson had remained locked with aqua and it wasn't long before the sexual tension between them grew too much. Kai's earlier, anger, upset and frustration with Ray all hitting him at once as he grabbed a hold of Tala's shirt collar.

"After this you're leaving," he spat out before crashing his lips against his.

Yeah, that's what Kai said but the way his lips were moving along Tala's that wasn't what he wanted.

He tried not to smirk into the kiss, letting Kai get his ego boosted by allowing him control for a good while before he sunk his teeth into his lips and bit down.

"Now now, we both know who's in control here sweetheart."

Kai winced at the familiar pain in his lower lip as his eyes shot open and stared up, awaiting the next move in silence like the good boy he was.

This feeling... The feeling of being over powered, this is what he craved, what he couldn't get enough of.

He didn't know why he fell so submissive to him but the thought of Tala having his wicked way with him was such a turn on.

But this was his office, and he was the boss.

Wrapping an arm around Tala's waist and shoving his other underneath his thighs, Kai hoisted him up bridal style with ease and dropped him on his desk. He roughly swung his legs down to hang over the edge, spread them to stand between and grabbed a fistful of red hair to pull him in close again, his tongue wasting no time in completely tasting the entirety of his mouth.

With a hard shove Tala separated their bodies apart, discreetly trying to take back the air in his lungs. He'd be lying if he said Kai didn't turn him on when he was trying to take control over him, then again that's all he was doing.

Trying.

And that was all he'd get from him, he wasn't the cat and about to roll over and show his stomach. He had fangs too, and he was intent on using them tonight.

Grabbing at Kai's shirt he jerked him around the desk to where he was stood in front of his chair, a few pens and papers getting knocked off as his own body turned along the top of it to follow.

"Sit," he commanded like Kai were a dog and shoved him down into the desk chair he had been occupying previously. He hadn't fought it and allowed the firm push on his chest to set him down, the chair creaking a little with the abrupt slam into it.

Not giving Kai time to blink or question what he was doing, Tala slithered off the top of the desk and did what Kai had done to him; knocked his knees and legs apart to make room for his body to come between and wiggled himself to his own knees in front of him. Icy blue eyes refusing to break their gaze as his hands slithered up Kai's thighs and reached for his black leather belt.

"Let's see what we can do to relieve some more of that tension, hn?" he teased as he began his attack on the buckle.

Using the opportunity to catch his own breath back, Kai used both hands to quickly unravel his tie from around his neck as he intently watched the scene below. The light blush on his cheeks apparent that it was getting hot in here and melted into his chair. The two ends of his tie draped either side of his chest the same way Tala's strands framed his gorgeous face.

In mere seconds the belt was unhooked, along with the button to Kai's pants. Keeping them on and zipped up Tala pawed at the front of his crotch with one hand, the other slipping up as high as he could reach being on his knees. His fingers running over Kai's stomach and hips.

He received a twisted smile down at him as Kai's brain switched to animalistic mode.

Fuck a massage, this is what he should have more often...

He shifted in his seat trying to loosen the tightness he was beginning to feel in his grey trousers. Wanting to just take them off but also wanting to see what Tala had in store for him.

He lifted his hips to press harder against Tala's palm to try and ease some of the pressure before unbuttoning his top two shirt buttons with one hand in an attempt to cool himself down.

There was something about being in his office that made this whole thing just so much hotter. The excitement of doing this in a public place swirling in his gut followed by the comfortable and relaxed feeling of knowing that they wouldn't be caught at this time of night.

Feeling the nudge under the palm of his hand Tala's eyes glistened and his wolfish smirk came back. Literally had him in the palm of his hand...

He teased and rubbed in different intervals, first taunting and slow, then to aggressive and hard and back again. Keeping their eyes locked, watching for any and every little reaction. This was exciting to him too, he had never done something like this before. Hidden away behind a desk despite them being the only two in the building, but the thrill was still there. His mouth salivating at the meal waiting for him that was only growing more with every touch.

Kai pressed his lips together as the sense of arousal continued to wave through him. Snippets of their previous encounter playing in his mind now caused his stomach to bubble with excitement as he gazed into those mischievous eyes he hated to love so much.

Seeing Tala lick his lips again more to himself in preparation than to be suggestive, Kai spoke down to him, his voice husky, as his eyes quickly gestured down towards his crotch.

"You still hungry?"

"You have no idea."

Like a dam breaking open, the previous restraint Tala had been keeping a hold on snapped. His hands and fingers fumbling to get Kai out of his restrictive clothing as fast as he could.

It was more impressive looking the second time around.

Not wasting time he took his parted lips to the head of him, stroking and licking enough to get it wet and pushed his mouth down to take him in whole without gagging.

Kai's head fell back, his eyes rolled to a close and his mouth instantly fell open to release an exhale of air as he completely engulfed him.

Just how he remembered... Absolute heaven. They could've been doing this over an hour ago, why did he even try and fight it?

He sank into his office chair, letting one arm fall limp, and the other making its way into the redhead's locks.

A grunt broke out the moment the head nudged the back of his throat. Taking in a deep inhale Tala began to bob his head, going straight into working him hard with the barely there scrape of teeth as he went.

"Fuck..." Kai growled out as he lifted up his head and prized open his lust drunk eyes to gaze down and take in the glorious sight between his legs. Keeping the hand in Tala's hair he gripped a little tighter, moving along with him as the other quickly came up to undo another button on his white shirt.

With a long, slow, pull Tala's mouth came away. Cracking his jaw before placing butterfly kisses up and down the underside of Kai's shaft. The hunger in his eyes, in the pit of his stomach, still blazing and burning hotter.

"Do you want me?" he growled out low, squeezing around the head with his left hand, the other clawing against Kai's clothed leg he was pinned between.

Kai watched as he slowly pulled off of him, his hand falling from his hair and his mouth still gaped open as he stared back high on desire. He tried to speak though his throat had dried up completely from both the whiskey and the panting he'd been doing just now.

Kai dumbly nodded at him, unable to really speak as his throat had dried up completely from both the whiskey and the panting he'd been doing just now.

"Yes," he managed, swallowing to relieve the dryness when both of their heads simultaneously snapped back to the closed office door as the faint sound of a ringtone began to chime throughout the reception on the other side of it.

With a confused frown Tala then turned back to Kai whose expression matched his own.

"That's not the cat, is it?" he asked as he retracted his hands and everything from Kai so fast he knocked the back of his head against the underside of Kai's desk.

"Ah! Fucking hell!"

Kai would have snorted out laughing if his heart wasn't currently threatening to rip out of his chest. His eyes remaining wide with fear as he stared at the office door.

No, it wasn't Ray. He recognised that ringtone though. It was –

"Here you are! Stupid thing," Tiffany muttered to herself as she picked up the phone from her desk. "I've got it, love! You can stop calling it!"

Tala's eyes went wide, a cold numbing chill running down his spine.

Oh for fucks sake!

As lovely as the woman was he was cursing Tiffany to hell right now...

Then a terrible lightbulb flickered over his head, the rush coming back now that someone was actually in the office. Kai was too busy staring at his closed door in horror to notice Tala inching his mouth back to his cock, making a loud porn star type moan as he took it back into his mouth.

Kai's almost choked on his gasp the second he felt the wet warmth on him again and immediately grabbed a fistful of red hair and ragged him back off, the force causing Tala to fall back in to the wooden panel of his desk.

"Are you out of your fucking mind?!" he hissed at him, both his voice and his eyes retaining the same level of fear.

Tala groaned out easing himself back up off his ass as best he could underneath the desk.

"It's just Tiff," he bit out rubbing the back of his neck that had smacked against the back of the desk. "Isn't like she'll come in if you keep quiet, shut up and chill out."

Scooting back over to him on his knees Tala took a mouthful again, licking along the underside of Kai's shaft and swirling his tongue over the tip of him, looking up to him and throwing a wink.

Whilst Tala was pushing all the right buttons Kai wasn't enjoying any of this in the slightest now. The realisation his assistant was at the other side of that door had him completely on edge and the thought of her walking in at any minute made him feel sick.

Dropping the phone into her handbag Tiffany then looked over to her female companion that had followed her up the stairs and in to the open-plan space.

"I give you, Hiwatari Enterprises!" she dramatically introduced, gesturing to the dimly lit reception they were stood in. "What'dya think Bianca?"

With his mouth halfway down Kai's cock, Tala gagged and not because of the reflux. Another cold sweat rushing down his back as he tore his mouth off of him quickly, actually looking panicked.

No. Please God no.

It can't be her. A different Bianca surely. There's millions of Bianca's in this world. His was not on the other side of that door.

Kai's brows furrowed as Tala retreated from him like he'd just burnt his tongue and watched all colour slowly drain from his already fair face.

"Who's Bianca?" he whispered down to him, "You know her?"

Tala nodded before he shook his head almost violently, pressing his lips tightly together to stifle any noise that dared to pass them whilst putting a finger to them to tell him to be quiet.

Seeing Tala's whole demeanour shift caused Kai to scowl down at him, his suspicions reaching a whole new high as his heart began to beat faster in his chest.

Now was not the time to be keeping secrets from each other. They had to be a team here so they could figure out how to handle this mess!

"Well, ain't this a swanky place... Really nice décor," Bianca mused as she wandered around the front reception with her arms loosely folded on her rounded stomach.

"Yeah, Kai has a really good eye for interior design," Tiffany praised as she too scanned around admiring her place of work.

Tala's breath hitched in his throat at the sound of her voice. It confirming everything.

Oh dear Lord she was actually there. The boner between his own legs, that had become unbearably painful and ignored, sunk like the Titanic. The thrill not even in the back of his mind now as he unlatched himself from Kai again quickly, scooting himself under the desk more so he was hidden if they came in.

"Who is she?!" Kai mouthed to him as demanding as he could whilst keeping himself silent. His eyes ablaze with fear as he locked on to Tala who remained frozen, cowering under his desk.

He was losing his patience. Just cut the shit already and spill!

"Just a friend of Tiffs! She's nobody, now shut up!" Tala's mind went round in circles as he hissed at him, what the hell was he supposed to do in a situation like this?!

Kai glared down at him as his own brain began to work over time.

Tala looked scared shit-less, and it was becoming increasingly obvious the relevance of this unknown woman with every cringe he subconsciously made the more she spoke with Tiffany.

Kai's lips parted as he struggled to find the words to say to him.

This was not happening right now.

"It's your wife, isn't it?"

Blue eyes got wider as he hit the nail on the head, though now he wasn't sure if he should lie or not.

Slowly he nodded his head, swallowing hard as he made sure he was pulled under the desk as much as he could be. Kai's legs in the way made it more cramped, but it had to do.

"That's her..." he whispered.

The big bad wolf had shrunk into a terrified Chihuahua and Kai had no idea what to do...

"Well we'd best get going!" Turning on her heel to leave, Tiffany's brown eyes then did a double take as she caught the strip of light coming from underneath Kai's office door. With a frown she took a glance at Bianca before calling out in disbelief, "Are you still here Mr Hiwatari?"

Kai's mouth fell open, his eyes shooting down at Tala underneath his desk in horror, silently begging for him to tell him what to do since his brain had clearly stopped working a while ago.

Tala just stared back at him, the fear clearly laced in his own eyes as he tried to make himself as small as possible underneath the desk. As good as he was at getting out of sticky situations; this was a whole different ball game that he was pretty sure even he couldn't talk himself out of if they were to be caught.

Getting nothing from him Kai's fear transitioned to a frustrated glare. He quietly hissed out through gritted teeth, "The fuck do I do?!"

Of all the times for Tala to be quick on his feet and have a master plan now was the fucking time!

"Sir?" Tiffany pressed, "Are you there?"

Tala put his index finger to his lips and motioned for him to be quiet. The fuck did Kai want him to do?!

A vein throbbed in Kai's temple.

Thanks for nothing dickhead!

With the sound of high heels now clicking towards his door, Kai's eyes were transfixed on it, his heart pounding against his ribcage as the door handle began to move. Quickly he regained some dignity and tucked his junk away and pulled himself forward, shoving his legs under the desk wherever they'd fit giving no regard to whether he was hurting Tala in the process. He then hastily straightened up his shirt having no time to button it back up as Tiffany pushed open the door and poked her head inside.

"Don't you have a home to go to?" she chuckled out.

Kai laughed out with her. Way too loud for a joke that wasn't all that funny but he was riddled with anxiety right now. Mentally praying to every God above, whoever would listen to a man of sin, that this woman didn't walk further in here to see him with his trousers undone and a man that wasn't his boyfriend underneath his desk.

Tala was sweating bullets.

Why, WHY did they have to come around? He was having a blast with Kai's cock in his mouth without a care in the world.

Mood, destroyed.

"I forgot to grab my phone from today so just swung by to pick it up," she answered the unasked question, pointing over her shoulder with her thumb gesturing back to her desk. "What are you still doing here? Is there anything I can help with?" She added taking a few steps forward to enter the office completely now.

"No no! Everything's fine!" Kai spewed, grabbing at some random paperwork on top of the desk and tapping it down to straighten it all up. "I was just about to leave actually. So- So I'll just see you in the morning. It's fine. Really."

"Oh, okay," she said, his flustered demeanour going completely over her head. "Oh! By the way this is Bianca, y'know who I was telling you about today, who I was talking to on the phone?" she said beckoning the other woman to come stand beside her who had just waited out in the reception.

A beautiful pale face stuck in through the door over Tiffany's shoulder, green eyes bright as they did a quick look around as she brushed some light lavender hair from her face and smiled at the man behind the desk.

"Hello," she greeted.

Tala's skin pricked. What had been a pleasant dream was now a nightmare from hell.

Laying the papers down flat on his desk Kai gave an awkward nod of his head. Tala was definitely punching above his weight with her, she was a looker alright.

"Nice to meet you," he sent back after a clear of his throat.

Tiffany loosely folded her arms over her chest before looking to Bianca.

"She just wanted to come along for the ride, didn't you, B? The fresh air helps calm her nausea."

Bianca's eyes sparkled a little, Tiffany's words going in one ear and out the other.

He was gorgeous...

"You're the one who had some yard work done right? I hope my husband behaved himself," she chuckled lightly, though there was an undertone that said she was serious.

Tala had best be on his upmost good behaviour when dealing with a client this well known...

Kai forced a light chuckle back to her though a pang of guilt shot through his stomach, his eyes unable to stop glancing down at her stomach now. If only she knew.

"Y-Yeah he did a really good job.. and uh, congratulations to you both too," he said, gesturing to her rounded belly. "If I'd have known you were both expecting I'd have given him a bigger tip."

"Never too late," she winked at him, once more sounding playful and serious. "But really, word of mouth is better. Get the word out to your business partners."

Kai gave her a half smile and his eyes shifted from her as she winked at him.

Her and Tala were well suited that's for sure, their mannerisms being almost identical though Bianca seemed to hold more subtlety. He'd clearly met his match though. Two pea's in a pod.

It was then that he remembered he had the little snake under his desk. His own twisted little light bulb suddenly shone bright.

"I will definitely see what I can do," he charmed, looking back up to her with his smile now filled with confidence. "Oh, where are my manners? Would you like a drink Bianca? Tea? Water? Help yourself ladies and rest your feet a little while."

Tala narrowed his eyes, not that Kai could see, and smacked him on the inner leg.

"Oh you're too kind, but I'm supposed to be meeting said husband for dinner. Need to update on the baby and all," she said as she pat her round stomach. "Maybe another time?" She was full on serious this time.

Feeling the smack on his leg Kai swiftly kicked him back under the desk.

So the dog was wanting some dessert before his dinner, hm? Oh he wasn't done yet.

"Ah that's a shame..." he sighed out in his false disappointment, leaning forward with his elbows on his desk. "Isn't every day I get two gorgeous women in here all to myself... Maybe another time though."

Tiffany frowned and took an unnoticed side glance to Bianca whose eyes were still drinking up her boss. He wasn't usually this flirtatious. Was he feeling okay?

Brown eyes then met the two empty glasses on his desk and her brows furrowed further.

Bianca chuckled again, "You're sweet. Maybe we can do a double date one day? With you and your partner, I'd love to meet the man who stole you away from the rest of us. He must be very lucky."

Tala refrained from rolling his eyes. He should have never mentioned the damn cat to her.

Kai had to force a smile now that Ray had been mentioned. The only lucky one was him and he was showing his thanks by doing this to him.

Ray… He hadn't even crossed his mind during all this. The whole duration Tala had been between his legs he'd not given the so called man of his dreams a second thought.

An all too familiar wave of guilt washed over him once more as he tried to keep his confident mask on.

"Mm.. Sounds good.. I'll have Tiffany check all our schedules and see if we can coincide sometime." He had said it but didn't mean a single word. His mood having dropped an entire octave now at the mention of Ray.

"Were you here with someone, sir?" Tiffany then abruptly asked.

"Hn? N-No, course not. Why? What makes you say that?" Kai blurted out. His mask being slowly chipped away the longer these meddling broads stood in his office.

"Well there's two glasses of whiskey on your desk," she plainly pointed out.

Kai's eyes then trailed down to the two tumblers.

Shit. She ain't wrong.

Tala choked on his spit, doing a double take to make sure he still had every article of clothing in place. He felt his heart snap in two. His jacket... His fucking jacket was on the chair!

Kai wracked his brain for a response to her, opening his mouth and closing it again as no words would come to mind.

"I uhm.. I was, in a.. meeting!" The final word being thrown out the second it arrived in his brain.

"So you were with someone then?" Tiffany clarified, the scepticism in her voice reaching whole new levels now.

"Y-yes, earlier, yes. I don't know why I said I wasn't.. It's been a long day," he awkwardly laughed out.

Under the confides and cramped space of under the desk Tala pulled out his phone quickly.

Silencing the thing first before going to Bianca's number. A few seconds later, just as she went to speak as her eyes were scanning around the room again, her phone went off with a text message.

"Oh, he says he's already at the restaurant. Guess we should go."

Kai would've kissed him if this whole situation wasn't his fucking fault to begin with.

"Well it's been a pleasure ladies, enjoy the rest of your evening," he said a little too quickly. An immense wave of relief washing over him as the two women shifted to take their leave.

"You too Mr. Hiwatari. Keep in touch!" Bianca called as she waddled away.

"I'll see you in the morning sir," Tiffany added before turning to the door. Her eyes taking a glance to her left to clock two jackets, one that matched Kai's grey suit and a black bomber strung over the arm of the leather chair.

She kept walking, deeming it just another one of Kai's to change into.

Tala let out a sigh of relief once the door closed and Kai too let out the breath he'd been holding on to. Pushing himself back against the desk, the wheels moved backwards and created enough distance for the redhead to be able to get out from underneath it.

Like the scum of the earth he was, Tala crawled out on his hands and knees and cracked his back from the strain he had put himself in.

"Haven't had to bend like that in about three years."

Kai stood up from his chair and pulled up his grey trousers properly, firmly pulling up the zip as he glared at him.

That was too close. And this guy still had room to make jokes!

"Oh don't give me that look, it's never worked on me before. You're wasting your time," Tala said as he sauntered over to his jacket, flapping it out before throwing it on. "At least it wasn't the kitty cat. Could only imagine the look on your face then," he snickered.

"You really get a kick out of the most twisted shit don't you?" Kai bit as he watched him in utter disbelief. How the fuck was he so calm right now?! "Next time when I say leave, leave!"

"Next time ey? Is that an invitation?" Tala just smirked harder, going to him again and carelessly throwing his arms around his neck.

"N-No-"

"-Maybe you should be a bit more convincing, next time," he said cutting Kai off in a low sultry tone as he pecked his lips.

Kai automatically returned the peck but only out of his current dumbfound state.

"I didn't mean that! There is no next time Tala!" he snapped out. After almost being caught by his pregnant wife, that was enough to make him abstain from even thinking about the redhead again never mind anything more.

Tala just continued smirking at him. Yeah he was saying they were done but this was far from over. Kai had a flavour he loved the taste of and had every intention of continuing to savour it for the foreseeable future.

"Mhmm… Try butter up my wife again though and you're right there won't be," he threatened but his smile never wavered. "What's up, one Ivanov not enough for you?"

Kai opened his mouth to speak but let out a frustrated noise from his throat instead and just shook his head. He had just about had it with this guy. He'd only done that to try and save both their asses since he'd become a useless mess underneath his desk. As pretty as Bianca was, married heavily pregnant women, funnily enough, weren't his type.

"You're unbelievable," he managed to finally mutter out.

"But you love it," Tala practically purred as he slithered himself off.

"Get the hell out of my office Tala."

"Yeah, yeah I'm going." He rolled his eyes as he did as Kai commanded, stopping at the door and turning back to him. "You have my number." He winked. "Oh, and don't even think about organising that double date," he warned before slipping out the door.

Kai threw the door a sour look once it had closed before collapsing down into his office chair.

Did Tala think he was some kind of masochist? Why the hell would he put himself through that? Put any of them through it for that matter?

Over his dead body would he ever be sitting opposite him in some swanky restaurant playing happy families...

x-x-x

Once Tala had made it back outside the building he welcomed the cold night air into his lungs with a deep inhale and breathed out every ounce of arrogance that resided in him. His body collapsing against the glass door as he stood for a moment to collect himself.

That. Was. Too. Close.

He might have had a smirk on his face just now but he didn't find any of that even partially funny. He was terrified.

He mentally cursed himself for looking so flustered in front of Kai in the moment, losing the cool character he so desperately clung on to when he was around him but he couldn't hide the fact that that situation they'd just been in just now was way too daring, even for his liking.

Was all this even worth it?

Sure Kai was hot and easy to over-power but was his craving for dominance becoming too risky? He hadn't minded so much until now as the dirt was always on Kai's doorstep but Bianca being there was far too close to home and it frightened him. His reality that he was trying so hard to mask and blur merging dangerously with the fantasy he'd created.

Lighting up a cigarette for the nerves that had yet to diminish completely, he peeled himself off the door and bounced down the stone steps, heading to the restaurant he was meeting Bianca at a block away. Wracking his brain for a reason as to why he was late when he'd already told her he was there...

A/N: That was a rollercoaster.

Thanks to Lux for helping me with this and I hope your heart has calmed down as the problems we kept facing with this were becoming too much xD

From the two glasses to the jacket - I'm so glad Tiffany is a little bit of a ditz because we were hella sympathising with the two rats and even we were wracked with fear.

Was hilarious though mate and I'm so grateful you've thrown yourself into this story as much as I have.

Til next time! K~
