Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Country Cottage

Song for the Chapter:

FMLYHM - Seether

"Hey, guys, ready to see how we scored on the final exams?" Tea asked the group.

They all nodded and followed Tea down the hallway. There was already a small cluster of people forming around the board seeing where they ranked. Pushing their way through the group of friends finally made it to the front of the board.

They found their class chart and began search for their names.

"Let's see," Tea said searching until she found her name. "Oh! I ranked seventh!"

"Good job, Tea, you ranked better than me," commented Yugi.

"Only by one spot," Tea told him, but still sounding pleased with herself.

"Looks like I didn't do so hot," Tristan said sounding a little disappointed. His eyes began to drift away from the board. "I've never been good with stuff like this."

"Twenty-nine's not… so bad," Tea said.

"Bakura ranked five," Yugi commented sounding impressed.

"Joey, I don't see your name anywhere on here," Tristan said searching the lower numbers.

"Cause I'm a genius now." Joey said pointing at his head with vigor. "Number eleven!" He punched the air jumping up and down with excitement.

"Geez, I don't think I've seen Joey this excited since the arcade was hosting all you can eat pizza night," Tristan commented.

Joey pointed to his name and all of them gave surprised exclamations. Tea had to look at the board once again to make sure in fact that it was Joey's name they were reading in that spot. While everyone else's eyes were intently staring to see the reality of what was on the board themselves.

"Wow, Joey, that's amazing," Yugi stated turning around to give his friend a warm smile.

"Yeah, man, I don't think I've ever seen you do so well," Tristan whistled.

"Hehe, just goes to show, inside this noggin was a sleepin' lion just ready ta bust out," Joey said knocking on his head before taking a few more jabs at the air. Seto was standing in the back, not surprised by the spectacle Joey was making one bit.

"You maybe number eleven Wheeler, but I am still number one," Seto said in a snide remark, bumping him out of the way with his shoulder to get close to the score board. "I doubt you will ever be that high," He added in a challenging manner.

"Figures. The first time I see him in weeks and I get an insult He could have at least sent me a text or something saying he was back." Joey got up close to the CEO's face and looked him in the eyes before finally speaking his mind.

"We'll see bout that Kaiba!" Joey said shouting, unnecessarily since their faces were still so close together.

"Uh Joey," Tea started with a pause, "let's aim at something more reasonable next, like beating me or Yugi next," she responded trying to be reasonable.

"Nah, I will beat Kaiba," Joey said with an eager thumbs up.

"You have a better chance of beating Mokuba in a duel than defeating me," Kaiba said nonchalantly while leaving the hallway before Joey could fight back.

School was finally over and today was one of Joey's few days off of work. His friends invited him to go to the game shop with for after finals celebration, but Joey declined. While walking home Joey noticed Seto's limo pull up next to him.

Seto lowered the window down. "Get in the car, Wheeler," he said without looking at him.

Joey was hesitant to get in, in the past when Seto appeared like this it was always to take Joey somewhere he really didn't want to be. Reluctantly he got in after much mental debate.

"You seriously think you could beat me," Seto said staring straight into Joey's eyes. "Because I still stand by what I told you in the hallway. You have no chance of beating me."

"Is this really the only reason you came to get me. Because if so, I'm getting out right now," Joey threatened and tried to open the door but found it locked.

"You really are slow," Seto remarked as the car began driving off. "If it wasn't for me you would have never even ranked 30 in your class."

"Don't you think I know that?" Joey said begrudgingly. "I already know that I'm no good when it comes to book smarts." He had spent most of his life on the streets, not in a classroom or library with books. While Joey had been happy to have scored so high, it upset him that he never would have done it had it not been for Seto's help. What upset him even more is that despite all his efforts and his great results, Seto still didn't seemed to be impressed at all.

"You should have been able to score higher than Yugi, but I guess that was too much to ask for from you," Seto added. Joey formed a fist, but held back the desire to hit Seto.

"Where are we going anyways?" Joey said realizing that they were not heading to Kaiba Corp or the mansion. Seto didn't say anything to Joey. The brunette was staring at the window, and a few wrinkles were forming on his forehead, as he truly became lost in his own thought. "What is he thinking about so hard? It almost looks like he is nervous about something." Joey saw the subtle way Seto was tapping his index finger again his crossed arms. "Maybe if I say something stupid it will snap him out of it. He loves ta do that." So Joey decided to list off a bunch of foods, it also didn't help that he was slowly getting hungry as the car ride progressed. The car finally came to a stop, "Pecan pie," Joey continued running out of foods to say.

"What are you mumbling about?" Seto asked rolling his eyes, while stepping out of the car. Joey followed and was immediately met with the smell of the ocean. He looked around and saw a simple dirt road leading up to a small cottage that was on the edge of a cliff. Joey was amazed by the view.

"What are we doing here?" he asked in awe. Seto didn't reply, but unlocked the door to the cottage and shot a glance at Joey to follow.

Joey made a face but followed. "Gah, I hate it when he gets like this. I never know what he's thinking." He stepped into the cottage and shut the door behind him before glancing around. It was definitely nice and well furnished, but still held some simplicity. "Hey, Kaiba, do ya got anything ta eat? I'm starving."

"If you want food you'll have to make it yourself," Kaiba said going into the kitchen and began to brew some coffee for himself.

"Figures," Joey thought before rummaging around in the cub boards and the fridge. He decided just to make himself a sandwich. When he was done, the sandwich stacked up a foot high. "Looks like I'm gonna need a bigger mouth."

Seto poured himself the coffee and noticed that sandwich Joey made. Seto was too baffled by the stupidity of Joey to think up of an insult for him. He sat down across the table from Joey watching him try to fit the sandwich in his mouth. Seto sipped his coffee, and much to his amazement, Joey finished the entire sandwich. Joey yawned after eating the sandwich, stretching his arm high and wide.

"Tired, mutt?" Seto asked in between sips.

Joey nodded his head, and headed to a room that he thought looked like a bed room. He dropped his body on the bed and fell asleep.

Seto finished up his coffee, placing his cup in the sink, rinsing it out and went to go check on Joey in the bed room. "Kaiba, try this county fried steak." He said while turning over.

Seto sat on the side of the bed and lightly stroked Joey's hair. "Such a predictable little pup you are," he murmured lying beside Joey waiting for him to wake up.

When Joey opened his eyes he realized he must've been out for a couple hours at least. The afternoon light from the window had dimmed into a deep crimson glow, signs that the day was heading fast for twilight. He heard the sound of running water and looked over towards a door that had a sliver of light underneath implying someone was inside. He guessed Seto was taking a shower. He blushed when he suddenly got imagery and quickly shook his head to clear it out.

The water shut off and after a few moments Seto walked out of the bathroom in a silk bathrobe looking as regal as ever, even with his chestnut brown hair slightly flattened by being wet. "Have a nice nap, Wheeler?" he asked sounding a tad annoyed. "You were asleep long enough."

"Eh… sorry about that," Joey said rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He clenched his hands, bracing himself before speaking what had been on his mind ever since their encounter at school. "Look, Kaiba. I really did try my hardest on that test. But let's face it; I'm just not a brain. And I know I'll probably never get to the top of the class, but still… I mean that's the highest I've ever scored on anything. So…thanks."

"I always expect the best in what I have," Seto said shaking his hair with his hand to get the excess water out. "And contrary to popular belief, I do reward those who do their best," he added casually walking over to Joey.

"Whatch ya mean 'reward'?" Joey asked dumbfounded, laying his head back down on the pillow. Seto got on the bed hovered on top of Joey. "Kaiba what are you doing?" Joey said his eyes shifting back an fourth unsure if what he was thinking was the same thing CEO had in mind.

Seto leaned his face in close to Joey's, with the back of his right hand, he slowly stroked the side of Joey's face causing him to shiver. Knowing he would have no resistance, Seto closed the gap, his lips harshly overpowering Joey's. The blonde didn't know what to do; his body was paralyzed from this act.

Without realizing it, Joey felt a warmth in his mouth, a soft tantalizing feeling that was exploring his every crevice. Joey worked up some courage and returned the favor. The harsh movement of Seto's tongue was being equally matched with Joey's.

While this was going on, Seto's left hand moved down to Joey's shirt, slithering underneath the fabric and wandering up to gently fondle Joey's nipples.

With his mouth, he lifted up Joey's shirt and started to softly lick the other nipple watching it go hard with pleasure. Joey moaned as Seto started to lightly nip at it. The blond's entire body was in eternal bliss with the simple pleasure Seto was bestowing upon him.

With Seto being distracted, Joey tugged off the silky robe, seeing Seto fully unclothed for the first time. Joey was tired of always receiving the pleasure for once he wanted to give Seto the pleasure. He noticed that Seto was still distracted with his nipples, so he went in for his move. Joey's left hand slowly started to stroke Seto, nice and slow. Joey was surprised how warm and thick it was, which made him even more excited. He began to rub with more vigor and almost thought he heard a stifled moan of pleasure come from Kaiba.

"What do you think you're doing, Wheeler?" he said with his icy eyes.

"Well, you're always giving me something; I thought I would give it for once," Joey said rubbing faster, hoping to see some kind of reaction in Seto's eyes.

Seto held in another moan by gritting his teeth. "Didn't I say I reward those who do their best," Seto added extra emphasis in 'I'. Seto grabbed Joey's wrist, and removed it from himself. He could tell that Joey was annoyed by that, but he wanted to be the one giving all the pleasure.

Joey leaned up a bit in resistance, but all it did was allow Seto to get his shirt off all the way. Seto straddled Joey below the waist and undid his belt. "Since I'm not clothed, it's only fair we take off yours," Seto said as he began to unzip the pants.

Joey allowed his pants and boxers to be taken off, hoping that if would soften Seto up a bit to allow him to be on the giving side for once. Seto slowly started to stroke Joey, knowing that he didn't want the pressure building up too quickly. Joey's moaning made Seto want to go faster, but he held himself back. Joey sat up, gently knocking Seto back, but this gave Seto an idea. He had Joey position himself on the edge of the bed, Seto got off the bed, and crouched at the edge, lightly licking the tip of Joey's warmth, while massaging the balls. Joey's body felt like it was being teased, but before he knew it, his entire warmth was in Seto's mouth. Joey gave a half strangled cry as Seto's tongue was encircling the warmth from the inside; carefully making sure none of his teeth hurt him.

Seto stopped immediately. "Get on your stomach, Wheeler. This will hurt," Seto commanded. Joey didn't know what Seto was planning, but he obeyed thinking that it couldn't hurt that badly. Seto was now at the end of the bed, facing Joey's rear. He rubbed it with his fingertips, but then slapped it hard, leaving a light red mark. Joey cringed in pain from the slap. He couldn't see what Seto was doing, but noticed that Seto was taking his time doing whatever he was doing. Seto was licking his right index finger, and rubbing it around Joey's crevices. He did this a few times, and then stuck his finger deep in. Joey gasped in pain, cringing even harder. Seto slowly and carefully moved his finger around, to where it was not hurting as much anymore. Seto pulled his finger slowly out, licking it ever so slowly, and sticking it back in again. Joey embraced the pain this time realizing the pleasure his body was receiving from it. Seto repeated this several times, to where Joey was no longer tense with pain.

Seto then added two fingers, relaxing Joey's muscles as much as he could. Joey was panting out of breath, when Seto pulled out again. Seto noted this and decided to let Joey take a little break. Seto lay next to Joey, watching his body stiffly move to his side. Joey weakly smiled at Seto, and Seto lightly nodded in agreement, allowing Joey a short time of pleasure.

Joey was pleased to, for once, have the reigns of control. But at the same time, he was partially at a loss for what to do. He knew next to nothing about Seto's turn-ons; the other man never really gave him much chance to find them out. He supposed he'd have to start small and work his way up from there. Joey sat up so that he was facing Kaiba before leaning in and settling his lips on Seto's shoulder. He felt the older man stiffen but took the fact that he wasn't being pushed away as signs to continue. Joey started out with some light licks and nibbles while at the same time taking in the scent of Seto's recently showered skin. He work his way towards the neck area and even went so far as to lightly stroke Seto's adam's apple with his tongue. He heard Seto release a breathy growl that was not from animosity, and Joey felt a small glimmer of accomplishment.

Deciding to give his hands something to do, he had them map out Seto's body. Starting from the chest and working their way down, he slowly and deliberately ran his fingers over every surface area he could reach. Wherever his fingers touch found only lean muscle, not an inch of fat to be had. Whenever he found a spot that Seto seemed sensitive to, he would linger there a little longer than usual. He did his best to commit them to memory. He especially got a nice reaction when his hands began to rub one of Seto's feet and Seto's eyes fluttered close as he released a sigh.

He even found Seto's tickle spot behind the knee.

"Heh, looks like the great Seto Kaiba has a weakness after all," Joey said with a smirk.

Seto's eyes opened and their expression was withering. "Don't push me, Wheeler."

Joey laughed, then just to be coy, he leaned up and licked Seto's lips in a playful manner.

Seto's grin was lighthearted, as he grabbed Joey's hand and led him to the desk that was in the corner of the room. Seto pushed Joey's body on the desk, so his top half was leaning on top of it. Seto wrapped his arms around Joey and leaned close to his body. Seto licked Joey's ear. "If you though what I did earlier was painful, then you better brace yourself."

Seto licked his finger and rubbed Joey's crevices so they were lubricated, and he stuck his warmth against Joey's entrance. "Are you ready?"

"Just do it already," Joey said, just wanting the anticipation to be over with.

Seto took hold of Joey's hips and began working his way in. Joey let out a half restrained cry of pain, his hands absently searching for anything to grab in order to take his mind off of the agonizing sensation of his tight space being suddenly filled.

Seto kept going until he was buried deep into Joey, and then against all personal desire, he paused, waiting for the man beneath him to adjust.

Joey was almost crying from the pressure that was in him. He couldn't remember anything ever feeling so painful, yet still lined with pleasure. Rather than wait for the pain to subside, he signaled for Seto to go.

Not needing to be told twice, Seto started moving back in forth in him, going slow at first, but the looser Joey got, the harder he would go in. Joey was moaning and yelling in pleasure filled pain. Seto leaned in and kissed Joey on the neck, while wrapping his hand around Joey's warmth, moving both his body and hand in a single rhythm. Joey was breathing harder and harder, panting from the ecstasy that his body was receiving.

The pressures inside both Joey and Seto were building up, until they both released nearly in sync. Joey was first, coming so hard that it brought tears to his eyes as he gave a mangled cry of fulfillment. Seto quickly followed when the tension of the blonde's body gripped him so tightly his vision turned fuzzy. For a moment both stood there, panting and sweaty. Then Seto pulled out, and white juices were still dripping from Joey in both the front and back. Joey's legs started to collapse from all the pleasure he had just received.

"Now you really do belong to me," Seto whispered. He wiped off Joey's stickiness from his hand, before helping him to the bed. Seto smiled at Joey. "I hope that was as good for you as it was for me."

Joey gave a breathy laugh. "That's gotta be the nicest thing you've ever said. Who the hell did I just have sex with?"

Seto just smirked before reaching down and pulling the bed sheets over Joey's head. "Bedtime, mutt."

Joey reached up and tore the covers off his head but before he could make a snappy comeback, Seto was already relaxing for sleep. So he decided just to leave it for the night. Placing himself under the covers he slid his body in next to Seto, who was lying facing away from him, and wrapped his arms around his waist while nuzzling his face between his shoulder blade and neck area. He half expected Kaiba to say something derisive involving Joey being a puppy, but instead Seto remained silent and unmoving. He must have been way more tired than he had put off, Joey thought and he smiled a little, closing his eyes, and allowed himself to drift asleep with Seto's scent as his oxygen.

KD: Well there's your smut. Have a happy June! Cause after that do you people really need an author note?
