Chapter 2

Sweating, I woke up, relieved that it had only been a bad dream. In the dream, everything had escalated, and all three men were standing here in my apartment, confronting me. It should never get that far. Since I couldn't sleep anymore, I sat down at my desk and went through my appointments for the following week.

Today, there were some appointments at work, and Diamond would be back in town in the evening. Just thinking about him made me instantly wet. As previously mentioned, he was like a drug, and I was now highly dependent on would be back in Tokyo from Wednesday onwards. I quickly made a note to check how long Diamond would be in town. Since Seiya always stayed here for his short visits, it required a lot of preparation. I had packed a box in which I stored his things, which I always took out and put away in my apartment on the day of his arrival. Toothbrush, brush, change of clothes, a picture of us, the usual stuff you would place at your partner's place. But keep in mind that he was a star who placed a lot of value on his appearance, so the mountain of clothes grew with every visit. I urgently needed to stop him from stocking up more here.

It was now 6 am, which meant it was around 2 pm at Mamoru's place. I took out my phone.

Good morning,only 12 more weeks until we see each other have no idea how much I'm looking forward to it.

Damn, only 12 weeks left, and I could feel the clock ticking again. Mamoru had already told me that after such a long time apart, he wanted to start living separately first. I was very grateful for that. Imagine if Mamoru lived here, and then suddenly Seiya showed up with his suitcase. Chaos would be feeling a bit tired, I dragged myself to the bathroom and let the hot water run over my back; it felt really good. I quickly put on some makeup, then threw on an elegant summer dress, chugged the rest of my coffee, and was ready to head to work. There was a package in front of my apartment door that caught my attention. Curiously, I picked it up and went back into the apartment. There was a card attached to it.

"I want you to wear this tonight."

Diamond. I was getting hot just unwrapping his gift. I had to come up with something too, as it happened from time to time that one of his lackeys threw packages in front of the door. That could also look strange and raise questions. When I saw what I was holding in my hands, I had to swallow hard. Did he really want me to wear this? It was a dress or at least it was supposed to be. It consisted of more holes than fabric and the fabric was also see-through. Well, I knew exactly how to combine it to drive him insane. Quickly, I laid the piece of cloth on my bed and made my way to work.

Today there was a lot to do, but I had everything under control. For each customer, there was a separate folder listing all interests and previous purchases. All appointments were so well-planned that there was always at least 30 minutes of rest time. I sorted the folders and handed the first one to my boss as he walked by.

"First appointment in 25 minutes, Mr. Yang is looking for a sculpture for his lobby. A selection has already been prepared," I informed him. Without stopping, he took the file from me and flipped through it.

"Good job, Ms. Tsukino," he murmured and disappeared into his large office behind by one, I went through all the documents again and added small details here and there, made phone calls, and made appointments for the following days. When the door suddenly opened, I couldn't believe my eyes. Now he showed up at my , I have to appear professional, pull yourself together Usagi. My boss must not find out that I slept with the son of one of his best customers. Diamond came directly to my desk with calm steps, and his lustful gaze was already undressing me.

"Hello... Mr. Prince, what... what can I do for you?" I stammered. Damn, he was totally throwing me off balance.

"Did you receive my package?" he whispered seductively to me. My pulse quickened as I forced myself to nod.I would have loved to tear his clothes off right here and now, but then I would surely be fired on the spot. Come on, concentrate now, I shouted at knew exactly how my body was reacting to him, and he savored seeing me suffer a bit. What an asshole. But unfortunately, a damn hot asshole.

"I came to pick up my father's order," he said calmly, continuing to assess me with his gaze. Order? Oh, that order. I actually needed a moment to sort out my thoughts. I quickly typed on the computer. There it was. "I'm sorry, but you came for nothing. The delivery has already been handed over to the shipping company and should be delivered sometime today," it took a lot of effort to continue sounding professional, which he of course noticed, and he gave me a meaningful grin. Then he leaned over my desk.

"No problem, I got what I came for. The driver will pick you up at 6 pm," he whispered to me. My eyes glanced at the clock, still six hours left, three hours of work. My concentration was gone. In my thoughts, the wildest fantasies raced about what he would do to me tonight.

In the end, my ringing phone brought me back to reality. Seiya sent me a picture of himself and his brothers. Wait a minute. I zoomed in a bit, fuck. He was at an airport. He wasn't supposed to return to Tokyo until the day after tomorrow, why was he at an airport?

Are you already on the way back? I sent him in a panic, and my alarm bells started ringing.

Do you miss me already, darling? was his response, evading the question.

Yes, very much so. I'm already counting the hours, so how much longer do I have to wait? Let's try it this way.

Not much longer, I promise. But don't make any plans for Friday, I'm going to kidnap you he replied.

Not much longer. I can't work with that, the time frame is too vague," I said to myself. I zoomed in on the picture. The display board in the background read "Vienna." The pure flight time from Vienna to Tokyo was about 12 hours, and since he was still texting me, he wasn't on the plane yet. I felt a sense of relief, which allowed me to focus on Diamond tonight. I would deal with my Seiya problem tomorrow.

Feeling a bit more relaxed, I started my evening. I stopped at a small boutique and bought a new lingerie set in deep black for tonight. If Diamond was going to provoke me like that, I could do the same. My inner devil rubbed its hands together in anticipation.

Armed with an ice cream cone, I made my way home. I had two hours left to get ready. It could be tight, but doable. But when I arrived at my apartment, I froze on the last step. This was impossible. How had he managed this?

Seiya was leaning casually against my apartment door. He wasn't supposed to be here yet. Shit. I tightly held the small bag containing my new lingerie and put on a smile.

"Well, well, well, surprise to see me, darling?"

Yes, very much so. I'm not sure if it's a good surprise yet. His things were still under the bed, and I had another date scheduled soon. I had to get rid of him somehow without raising suspicion.

"Oh, how did you get here so quickly? I thought you were still in Europe until Wednesday," I kissed him and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"One of the concerts was cancelled, so we took the flight last night. I couldn't leave you alone for any longer," he said, winking at me. Oh, I almost sighed. If he was the only one and he didn't mess up my schedule... I had to keep a cool head.

"Seiya... I'm really happy to see you here, but I'm sorry. I have an important business meeting in an hour and I need to get ready now. Shall I contact you when I'm back home?" I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes, but he didn't let it show. He put on his cheeky grin again and pulled me closer to him.

"Okay, then I'll go to the hotel for the night, but tomorrow belongs only to us," he whispered in my ear before demanding a long and passionate kiss.

Luckily, he didn't ask any more questions. That was one of the things I loved about him. He just took things as they came. I closed the door behind me and was shaking a bit. Damn, that was close. I hastily pulled his box from under the bed, put his clothes in my closet, and distributed his personal belongings around the better get ready. With the hint of nothing he sent me, one could see almost everything. There was hardly any room for speculation, as my new black underwear stood out prominently. I quickly put my hair up and put on very noticeable makeup. Before I knew it, it was already 6 p.m. and his private driver rang my doorbell. I threw on a long coat, as I didn't want to stand out on the street, and headed out.
