“I could destroy you.”
Kaoru said the words with assurance before taking another sip of sake.
“Is that right?” Adam replied, one brow arched in amusement.
They were both a little drunk, a little red in the face from all the sake they’d been drinking that night. Adam had shown up earlier with a bottle of the expensive stuff in hand and a playful smirk on his lips. It hadn’t taken much persuasion for Kaoru to let him in.
Things between them were better. They’d been talking a lot more, meeting whenever Ainosuke’s schedule would allow for it. Sometimes they met with Kojiro as well, but it was steadily becoming the norm for just the two of them to spend time together. It had gotten more comfortable, chatting and bickering, venting about work and any other number of things.
Tonight, Kaoru was just a bit tipsier than usual, his tongue a bit looser and his memories swirling around his head like a tornado.
With his free hand, he jabbed his index finger into Adam’s chest. His very firm, very nice chest. Damn it.
“Yeah,” he said, eyes narrowing. “With just one phone call I could ruin that precious career of yours.”
“Ah, but why would you do that?” Adam asked. His expression was still charmed, not cracking to any perceived threat.
“I still need to pay you back for my trip to the hospital,” Kaoru replied.
He wasn’t actually still bitter about the race. He’d let it go not long after they had started talking again. But Kaoru was nothing if not a spiteful little thing, and sometimes he let that get the better of him, especially when he had a drink or two in him.
Adam hummed and took a sip of his sake. “And how exactly would this phone call go?”
Kaoru mimed holding a phone to his ear, a cruel smile on his lips. “Hello? Yes. I have the most interesting photos of Shindo Ainosuke that I’m sure your publication would love. Did you know he takes part in an underground skateboard club?”
Much to Kaoru’s annoyance, Adam didn’t respond to his ploy. His expression was as calm as a still lake before someone cast a stone out into the waters. He tilted his head back and swallowed down the rest of the sake in his cup before carefully setting the glass back on the table.
“But you’re forgetting something crucial, my dear Cherry,” he finally said. He snarled as he spoke Kaoru’s other name.
“What’s that?” Karou asked, though he already knew the answer.
He blinked, and suddenly Adam’s hands were on his shoulders, pushing him onto his back against the tatami mat. The movement was quick and harsh, with just enough of a sting to Kaoru’s shoulders to make him wince. And then Adam was hovering over him, hands still at his shoulders, knees spread open at either side of Kaoru’s hips.
Adam leaned in, their chests almost touching and lowered his face close to Kaoru’s ear. His warm breath sent a shiver up Kaoru’s spine.
“That I could ruin you just as easily,” Adam hissed.
The truth of it hit Kaoru hard, though he’d always known it to be the case. They weren’t the punk-ass teenagers they used to be. They were both adults with lives that didn’t mesh with their other sides. Ainosuke’s political career would be in ruins and certainly, Sakurayashiki Kaoru would never survive the gossip of Cherry Blossom-sama. Somehow, despite the years of distance between them, their lives remained tangled up in one another. Kaoru knew it.
The look in Adam’s eyes showed that he knew it too.
Kaoru met that stare without flinching. He wasn’t afraid of this man. Maybe someone else would be, but it was thrilling to be handled like this. He thought that he understood Adam’s more violent nature now and welcomed it under the right circumstances. He certainly wouldn’t want a skateboard to the head again, but he was more than happy to be tossed around. Especially when he had every chance to fight back.
Kaoru grappled each of Adam’s arms, pressing his fingers into firm flesh, hard enough to leave marks. He gritted his teeth and gave Adam a snarl of his own. “All we’d have left would be the ruins of S, burning at our feet.”
“I would have burned the world to the ground for you once,” Adam admitted.
Karou’s heart cracked a bit like it did the day Adam told them he was leaving.
“Not anymore?” Kaoru asked, his voice going softer than he would have liked.
“No,” Adam replied. “If I burn now, I want us to burn together.”
It was a brutal and terrifying thought, but Kaoru couldn’t think of anything he wanted more. He gripped tighter on Adam’s arms, watching with satisfaction as he winced in response.
“Yes,” was all that Kaoru said before Adam brought his lips crashing down on his.
They might as well have been on fire because every point of contact, from lips to hands to legs, was burning hot. It seared into Kaoru’s senses, years of missed emotions and unspoken truths poured into this single kiss, threatening to tear Kaoru apart.
He was gasping for air when they parted, but he was pleased to see that Adam was likewise shaken. The other man’s lips were red, and his hands trembled slightly in their hold on his shoulders.
Kaoru seized the moment and wrapped his leg around Adam’s. With one hard pull, he effectively turned them both over so that he was atop Adam.
Adam stared in shock for a moment before letting out a laugh.
“You underestimated me,” Kaoru said. “Again.”
“I guess I did,” Adam admitted. “What are you going to do about it?”
“You’ll see.”
---
It didn’t take long for Kaoru to strip Adam out of his clothes, leaving him naked on the mat below him. At this point, Adam likely could have fought back again, but he seemed perfectly content to let Kaoru dictate their direction.
Now that he had Adam naked, Kaoru took his time admiring his well-toned body. There were new dips and curves to run his fingers over, a whole new shape to him that Kaoru was determined to memorize.
“You’re too slow,” Adam complained.
Kaoru tsked and flicked his finger hard against Adam’s collarbone. Adam hissed in response, the sound going right to Kaoru’s hardening cock.
“Don’t be hasty,” he admonished. “You’ve made me wait this long. I think you’ll survive waiting just a bit longer.”
He trailed his fingers along Adam’s chest, teasing at his pink nipples. He rolled them between thumb and forefinger, pinching and tugging before bending down and laving his tongue over each one. He began to move on, but then thinking better of it, caught one nipple between his teeth and tugged hard.
Adam gasped, his whole body arching beneath him.
Kaoru grinned. “I knew you’d like that.”
“Don’t be gentle,” Adam replied.
“With you? Never.”
Still grinning, Kaoru moved lower, nipping and sucking new marks along Adam’s skin until he reached the apex for his legs. Using both hands he pushed Adam’s legs wider apart, stretching the muscles of his thighs and taking in the lovely sight of Adam’s erect cock, hard and straining. Precum was already weeping from the head.
Kaoru swiped his finger against the slickness and dragged it down Adam’s length with a feather-light touch.
“Tease,” Adam groaned.
“Always,” Kaoru replied with a hum.
He pulled his hand back and made a show of sucking his finger, licking off the salty taste there. He took the whole finger into his mouth, adding a second and covering them both with saliva. When he was satisfied that there was enough he brought the two fingers down to Adam’s hole and pressed against him, prying him open.
Adam hissed his pleasure as Kaoru plowed forward.
He didn’t take his time or ease Adam into anything. That wasn’t what this was - wasn’t what either of them wanted. Adam had told him not to be gentle, and Kaoru would not deny him that. With both fingers, he thrust into Adam’s entrance rapidly and without pause. He pressed and prodded, scissoring at the hole until it was just wide enough to add a third finger.
Below him, Adam writhed and moaned, his voice loud, free of any inhibition. This was Adam in his purest form, unhinged, lost in desire, and made of love.
By then, Kaoru’s own cock was hard as hell, aching for attention, and Adam was just ready enough for him to give it. With his free hand, he untied his obi and cast it aside. He flung his yukata open just enough to pull off his underwear. Pumping his cock a few times in his fist, he spreads the precum along the length.
He pulls his fingers out of Adam and leans over him, committing to another bruising kiss.
“Are you ready for me to fuck you?” Kaoru asks, his lips hovering just over Adam’s.
“Fuck me, Cherry,” Adam growls. “Burn with me.”
Kaoru lined himself up with Adam’s hole and in one swift thrust, plunges himself deep inside his hot, waiting heat. They both groan, the sound like a perfect harmony of relief and pleasure. Finally, finally; the word echoed in Kaoru’s head as if he had been waiting for this exact moment for years.
Looking down at Adam’s face twisted up in agony and delight, he realized that he probably had been.
“Cherry,” Adam seethed.
He didn’t need any more prompting than that. Kaoru pulled out only to snap his hips forward again, this time taking a steady rhythm. Each time he buries himself to the hilt, slamming into Adam’s prostate with bruising speed.
Adam lifted his legs and wrapped them around Kaoru’s waist.
Kaoru might have scolded him for doing so without his permission, but it felt too good to have him there. It was like they were both anchoring each other even though they were tearing each other apart at the same time.
Again and again, Kaoru drilled into Adam, gripping hard at his shoulders and leaving bruises that he hoped would last for weeks.
Adam’s hands twitched in the air as he rocked in time with Kaoru’s rapid pace. He whimpered and cried as they hovered near his neglected cock.
Kaoru huffed. “Take care of yourself,” he allowed. “Let me see how good I make you feel.”
Adam shuddered and took his cock in hand. Permission granted, he began to fist his member with a speed that rivaled Kaoru’s own.
It wasn’t long before Kaoru started to feel Adam’s body tighten and tense around him. Leaning in again, he nipped at Adam’s ear. “Are you going to come?” he sneered.
“A-ah!” Adam cried. “Yes! Yes! Cherry, I’m going to come!”
Kaoru pulled back and thrust even harder, giving Adam the force he needed to finish. “Go on then,” he commanded. “Come for me, Adam.”
Adam choked on any other words he might have said as he came, his seed spilling out in thick ropes all over his stomach and chest.
Kaoru fucked him through it all, watching in amazement as his cock twitched and spilled.
“What a mess you are,” he said as he drew his fingers across Adam’s stomach and collected some of his cum. He licked the salty mess off of his fingers and kept thrusting, pushing himself towards his own climax. “You’ll be an even bigger mess when I’m through with you.”
“Yes!” Adam panted. “Do it, Cherry.”
It was only a matter of a few more thrusts before Karou came in hard, jerking movements inside of Adam. He heard Adam cry out again as if Kaoru coming in him had given him some secondary orgasm.
Kaoru collapsed against Adam, his yukata draped over both of them like a rumpled blanket. They laid like that for a long while, the only sounds their labored breathing and the thrum of their racing hearts.
At some point, Adam shifted and nuzzled his face against Kaoru’s cheek.
“That was lovely,” he cooed.
Kaoru huffed and gave him a sardonic smile. “You’re welcome.”
Then Adam nipped hard at Kaoru’s earlobe, making Kaoru yelp in surprise.
He retaliated with a swift slap to Adam’s arm.
“Bastard,” he growled.
“I adore such sweet nothings from your lips, dear,” Adam replied and gently kissed Kaoru’s lips. “I take it our secrets are safe?”
“For now,” Kaoru agreed and kissed him once again.
