Chapter Eleven

Fuji stood in front of Ryoma, who was still on his knees in front of him. "Are you sure," he said calmly, "that teasing me is what you should be doing right now?"

Ryoma tensed. His gaze locked on the ground in front of him. "No, Syuusuke," he said. After the events of the last few days, he knew he had punishment coming.

Fuji hid his smile. The freshmen hadn't broken any major rules, but his lover took everything seriously. It was comforting to know that Ryoma found disappointing him so devastating. That knowledge eased his anger and allowed him to think rationally about the punishments he dealt out. "Go upstairs and wait for me," he said.

Ryoma started to get to his feet, but Fuji pushed him firmly back down to his knees. The freshman got the message and crawled towards the stairs.

When Fuji made it to the bedroom, he found Ryoma kneeling naked in the center of the room. The sight took his breath away. His lover, so willingly vulnerable to his whim, sent a thrill of pleasure down his spine.

Fuji went to his dresser and removed a pack of clothespins. He opened the pack and held it at eye level so Ryoma could see what he had. "We're going to play, Ryu-chan," he said. "I'm going to put these on you. I expect you to show me that you have the self-discipline not to knock them off."

Ryoma swallowed before he spoke. "Is this-"

"No," Fuji said, anticipating the question. "This is play. Not punishment. We'll deal with that transgression later."

Ryoma frowned. "But-"

Fuji held a finger against Ryoma's lips. "Watching you match wits with my father turned me on, Ryu-chan. I feel like playing. Don't ruin it."

Ryoma ducked his head. "As you wish, Syu."
