Chapter 41: Promise
Kei rubs his eyes before looking at his watch. It is already 11:30 at night. He and Daisuke have been brainstorming and planning for hours.
"Why don't we stop here, Kei?" Daisuke says when he notices how tired his friend is. "I will have my men investigate this mysterious guy who can convince Bando to work for him."
"I don't know how to thank you, Daisuke." Kei gives him a weak smile.
"I am sure I'll think of something," he responds with a grin, making Kei chuckle. "By the way, are the rumors true?"
Kei raises a brow at his friend. "What rumors?"
"The ones about you and Samantha." Daisuke studies his friend for a moment, and before Kei could say anything, he smiles. "Congrats, Brother."
"What? I didn't even–"
"It's written all over your face," Daisuke tells him with a chuckle. "Don't fuck it up this time."
Kei bursts out laughing. "I will do my best," he says while shaking his head. "When are you introducing us to a sister-in-law?"
"Me? A wife? Nah." Daisuke sits back in the chair with a distant look in his eyes. "You know my life, I would only put her in danger. It's better not to get involved with anyone."
Kei stares at his friend for a moment, he knows that feeling so well. Ever since Yuta was born, it feels like there is always a voice in his head reminding him to keep his son safe, especially when he had some difficult decisions to make. Now, there is another person he has to think about as well.
"Call me when you have anything," Kei says as he pushes to his feet.
"Will do."
When Kei leaves the building, he is welcomed with pouring rain. He debates whether to go back and ask for an umbrella or just go for it. He ends up running to his car.
"Freakin' Tokyo summers," he mumbles under his breath while getting into his Audi. Even though he had parked fairly close, he was already soaked.
Kei pushes the ignition button but pauses when his phone rings. He groans as he pulls it from his pocket but as soon as he sees the number, he answers immediately.
"What's up?" he asks. He listens patiently as the man on the line explains to him the situation. "I'm on my way," is all he says before hanging up.
Kei speeds through the streets of Tokyo and only slows down when he reaches Roppongi. He has been clutching the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles have gone white.
He quickly parks his car and takes fast steps to the elevator. Thoughts are racing through his mind but he has to see her first. He has to make sure that she is alright.
As soon as the elevator doors open, he rushes to the door and rings the bell. Sam opens a few seconds later. She is surprised and stares at Kei for a moment, then she throws herself into his arms and hugs him.
"Are you alright, love?"
"I am now," Sam mumbles against his chest.
Kei squeezes her closer to him as they just stand at her front door for long minutes. When Sam finally pulls away from his arms, she notices his wet hair.
"Gosh, you're soaked," she says as she caresses his hair. "What happened?"
"Tokyo weather happened." Kei shrugs.
"Come, you should get out of those wet clothes." Sam pulls him into the apartment.
"Are you trying to get me naked, Ms. Martin?"
Sam chuckles. "Sure, as long as you don't catch a cold." She pushes him toward the bathroom. "You should take a shower, I'll get you some dry clothes."
"Not what I had in mind, but okay." Kei pretends to pout, which gets another chuckle from Sam.
He complies though. He is just glad to see Sam smile. Ed had told him about the incident at the university and said that he was worried about her state. Of course, Kei swore to rip whoever did it apart and he will, tomorrow. He already has an idea about who might be behind it. But tonight, he just wants to be there for Sam.
Kei turns the shower on and allows the hot water to warm his cold body. Soon enough, the whole bathroom is enveloped in steam that resembles a mysterious mist.
The water sound is so loud that Kei does not hear the door opening and closing, until two hands connect with his back. When he turns around, he finds Sam standing in front of him, naked.
"Holy shit," he whispers.
"I hope you don't mind the company," Sam tells him with a smirk.
"Are you kidding?" Kei laces his arm around her waist and brings her closer to him. "Being with you means the world to me."
***Sexual Content Follows***
Sam cups his face before she brushes her lips against his. Kei deepens the kiss immediately, taking a deep breath as if he were breathing her in. They kiss passionately as the droplets from the shower drum against their skins. Nothing could distract them from one another though.
Kei moves them until Sam is leaning against the marble wall. She welcomes the cool sensation against her hot body. They are both out of breath, needing more of each other.
Kei abandons Sam's mouth to move to her breasts. A moan escapes her lips when she feels his tongue on her nipple. The sound only encourages Kei to tease her more; licking, sucking, and nibbling.
"Kei," Sam moans his name, her voice echoing in the large bathroom.
"Yes, my love." Kei kneels on the wet shower floor. "I'm going to make you scream my name."
"What are you–"
"Lift your left leg for me, love," he interrupts.
Sam complies before Kei places her leg on his shoulder and buries his face into her most private part. Another moan escapes Sam's mouth. She digs her fingers into Kei's hair as the latter uses his skillful tongue to bring her pleasure.
"Kei," Sam calls with a desperate voice. Then, she opens her eyes when Kei pushes to his feet.
"I want you, love."
Sam locks her arms around his neck and pulls him to her as she crushes their lips together. Kei grabs her right leg and lifts it before he pushes his erection into her. She gasps against his mouth and squeezes him harder.
"Damn," Kei mumbles.
His hips slam against Sam's as they both approach climax. The erotic sound mixed with their moans fill the room.
"Baby, I'm so close," Kei grunts as he buries his face in Sam's neck.
"Me too…me too," she pants.
With a few more thrusts, Kei sends them both into spasms of ecstasy. Sam's legs give in but Kei holds her in his arms, keeping her from sinking to the floor.
"God, that was amazing," Kei utters with a grin. When Sam doesn't respond, he tilts his head to look at her. He can't see her face since her forehead is resting on his shoulder. "My love?" he calls.
Kei gently pulls her chin up, only to see tears racing from her red eyes.
"What's wrong, love?" he asks with an alarmed tone. "Are you hurt?"
Sam shakes her head, still unable to stop crying.
"What happened, Sam? Why are you crying?"
"Will you…" she starts with a shaky voice. "Can you promise me...that you will stay by my side?"
Kei frowns. 'Is this about what happened at the university?'
"Samantha, look at me." Her crimson eyes shoot to his. "I love you, baby. And if you allow me, I want to worship you till the day I die. I promise."
Sam nods.
"That will never change, no matter what. Okay?"
She nods again.
"Now, can we take round two to the bedroom?"
"Round two–" Sam squeals when Kei picks her up.
"Yes ma'am, and every round after that."
