"Thank you for dropping me home..." John murmured quietly as he hovered in the doorway of his apartment. Lin had dropped him off on his way to the office. The black van was waiting, hastily parked at the side of the road. John accepted his duffle bag, holding it quietly as he waited for Lin to leave. It was still daytime, so Lin was content to leave him in the open doorway. He was meeting Naru on the way to work anyway. He'd been staying at Mai's apartment for the past two days since his heat had passed. His excuse had been giving Lin and John some space, but he knew Naru better than anyone. It was obvious he and Mai had entered a new phase in their relationship, and he considered it a good thing.

"It's no trouble, but are you sure you'll be alright?" Lin was still a little wary of being separated from his omega. It felt different this time. He'd been finding it harder to part from him for the past two months, but now that they were fully mated, he felt even worse. He wasn't sure he could go without seeing him for three full weeks. Part of him hoped that John would feel the same. John looked almost awkward as he put on a smile and nodded his head.

"Of course! I'm fine-I'm fine!" He kept his bright façade and remained in the doorway to wave Lin down the stairs. His soft eyes widened slightly as Lin leaned down and gave him a chaste kiss before hurrying away. John waved until he was out of sight before closing the door and sliding down to the tiled floor, where his shoes lived in a neat row. He looked into the cold and empty apartment with a sense of loneliness, surprised as tears pricked his eyes. What am I doing? This is silly! He continued to chastise himself as he got to his feet and picked up his bag.

Inside the bag, all of his clothes were clean and neatly folded. Lin had done the laundry the night before, and tumble-dried the few items that needed it that morning. Unfortunately, that meant they were so clean that they hadn't allowed his scent to seep into them. John whined quietly at the thought. He buried his nose into the white top that he was wearing to find Lin's scent already being chased away by his own. He was startled as his phone buzzed in his pocket.

"Lin?" He almost stammered as he answered, wondering what he could possibly need so soon. He'd barely left a few moments ago. Despite that, his whole chest flooded with happiness and need at hearing the concerned lilt in his alpha's voice.

"Are you alright?" His voice was thick with worry and a sense of longing. John felt his cheeks heat as he realised he'd been allowing his emotions to just rush out as they pleased. Of course he's worried! I need to control myself! John heaved an almost frustrated sigh as he tried to rein himself in. He didn't want Lin to worry about him. He had enough to do with Naru at the office without worrying about him, too.

"Of course! I'm totally fine!" He paused as he heard a low sigh on the other end. Lin didn't believe him for an instant. He could feel the lie through their bond, and the underlying guilt for worrying him. John felt his cheeks flush as Lin's feelings flooded his chest. He was worried, and he missed his presence in a similar way. John covered his mouth quickly, feeling a small sob rise in his throat. The last thing I need is to have Lin worrying about me!

"Will you have dinner with me? We could meet at the office later and go somewhere..." Lin paused anxiously, waiting for John's response. John felt his heart swell. Lin wanted to spend more time with him. He smiled brightly as he nodded, forgetting that Lin couldn't see him, though he could feel the swell of happiness and acceptance that flooded their bond.

"That sounds good." The apartment suddenly didn't feel as cold as it had before. He hurried to shower and unpack, deciding to wear the blue top that Lin had bought him a few weeks back. Pausing in front of the mirror, wearing only the top and a pair of tight black boxers, he wondered which trousers to wear. I wonder what Lin would say if he saw me like this...His tight black boxers were barely visible beneath the powder blue top that barely reached past his crotch, and his curled blonde locks were dripping and glistening in the morning light.

He wondered even more as he eyed the phone in his hand. It couldn't hurt to take a picture and see. I might not even send it. His cheeks flushed as he dropped to his knees and shuffled around into a position that looked both cute and sultry. He looked at his phone screen nervously before snapping a picture in the mirror and looking down hesitantly. It wasn't a bad picture. His cheeks were a little pink, but his bare legs were poised and shapely, slightly open as he knelt on the shiny wooden floor. Should I send it? He put it in a message for Lin and stared down at it, biting his lip anxiously.

He sat on the edge of his bed, curled locks still dripping down his neck. A few drips hit the screen. I'm sure most couples do things like this, so it should be alright...right? But Lin and I have never been that type of couple...We weren't really a couple before though...He felt increasingly hesitant and nervous. He took a breath and squeezed his eyes shut, blindly pressing the screen. If it sent-it sent, if it didn't-it didn't. He paused, a sense of dread washing over him as he opened his eyes and saw the message in the sent column. His cheeks flushed as he threw himself on the bed and buried his face in the duvet with a whine.

What did I do? He's going to laugh at me! It's such a stupid picture! What was I thinking? Panic and insecurity coiled in his stomach as he rolled onto his side and covered his face with both hands. He wondered if Lin would let it pass without comment. He rolled onto his back, unsure how he'd feel if that were the case. To be teased was one thing, but to be ignored was quite another. He was slowly settling into a sense of mortification when he felt a sharp trill of pleasure shoot through his body. He covered his mouth and clutched his chest, spine arching as he bit his lip. It was an intense feeling of want and desire. It made his eyes cloud and his head feel fuzzy. The feelings weren't his own. Lin? Is this because of the picture? He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the pleasurable haze that settled over his sensitive body. He opened his eyes as his phone buzzed, looking at the screen and blushing. You look nice. The words both were flattering and reassuring despite their simplicity.

John could still feel his cheeks blushing as he pulled on his favourite pair of tan chords and set about finding his wallet and keys. Once he was ready, he left the apartment and headed past his usual subway station. He decided to walk into central Tokyo for a change. He knew most of the subway stations, so he could walk until he got tired. The weather was warm, almost a little too warm for his long sleeves. He tugged the light blue material further up his arms and slipped his hands into his pockets, pausing as he heard a small chirping sound.

"Hello..." A black cat stared up at him as it sat beside one of the long grey garden walls. John crouched and held a hand out in offering. He waited a while, unsure the cat would come any closer. A lot of cats in the area were strays, and didn't warm to people well. This one didn't look glossy like most domestic cats, so he figured it could be feral. It slowly warmed to the proffered hand and padded closer. "It's alright...I won't hurt you," he assured in his usual kind voice, keeping it quiet so as not to spook the small cat.

He smiled softly as the small black nose bumped his finger, slowly followed by fur and whiskers. The cat nuzzled for a moment before tilting its head to press firmly against the long fingers, which moved to scratch behind the small, pointed ears. John cooed and praised him, content to stay awhile and caress the soft fur. It may not have been glossy, but it was at least clean and free of knots. The cat was far more affectionate than he'd expect of a stray, so perhaps it did have a home somewhere. I hope it's not lost...

"I'll see you next time," John said brightly as he got to his feet and continued on his way. After about an hour of wandering, he hopped the subway. He felt hot and sticky by the time he climbed out near SPR and slowly made his way to the office. It was afternoon by then, so he wasn't surprised to be greeted by Mai as he entered. "Good afternoon Mai!" he said as he shut the door, sighing in the cool air-conditioned office. It felt good on his heated skin after walking all that way in the afternoon sun.

"John!" He was a little confused at her brightness as she bounded across and hugged him tightly. "Congratulations." He was still confused for a few moments until he touched his neck in realisation. Lin's scent! They know I mated him! His cheeks flushed self-consciously at the thought of Lin now releasing their combined scents.

"I-um-thank you..." he stammered with a sheepish smile as Mai returned to her desk. Lin's presence on the other side of his door called to him, making him turn his head. He knew he'd arrived. He was full of anticipation, but he wouldn't disturb him. That's right, I usually sit out here and spend time with Mai while he's working. John helped himself to the kitchen, starting the kettle and searching the cupboards above.

"I could do that for you," Mai said as she appeared in the doorway with her own cup in hand. John insisted he was fine, and they split the chore. Mai would make her and Naru tea while John would make some for him and Lin. They chatted idly about Mai's school, the weather, and any promising cases before parting ways. John barely hesitated as he carried two cups in one hand, opening the door to Lin's small office and stepping inside with ease.

"You're a little early," Lin greeted as he swivelled his chair to face him. He waited, elegantly poised as John padded over and put the two mugs on the table. "Stay awhile," he purred invitingly as he pulled him onto his lap. John was facing away from him as two large arms wrapped around his waist. He laughed a little nervously as Lin swivelled back to face his desk, keeping him sandwiched between.

"Looks like you're not giving me much of a choice," he murmured sheepishly as he looked down at the papers scattered across the desk. "Sorry, I know it's still early, but I-" He cut off abruptly, breath catching on a small moan as a confident hand slid across his bare chest and started exploring his pale skin. "K-Koujo!" John objected as he squirmed in his arms, more small choked sounds escaping as Lin pinched and teased his nipples. "S-stop..." He bit the back of his hand and closed his eyes as he leaned back, pressing his chest into Lin's skilled hands.

"Are you sure?" Lin purred in his ear, giving a sharp pinch to both nipples. He enjoyed the high-pitched whine that spilled from John's lips, the lithe body jerking on his lap. He could feel the thrill of desire burning in John's chest, but also the nervousness and apprehension. Before he could reply, Lin used one hand to turn his head and captured his lips in an urgent kiss. He felt his struggles lessen as he was devoured. Lin was sapping his energy with his skilled hands and heady scent, making it impossible to fight back. When he finally drew back, John was a flushed, unfocused mess.

"T-the door isn't locked," John objected in a small voice as Lin started to unbutton the tan pants. He could already feel John's hard cock beneath. John whined again at the contact, turning his head shamefully as Lin stroked the covered bulge, nursing it with eager fingers. John tilted his head to the side as he felt Lin lean down to his ear, exposing pale flesh to his alpha's lips.

"No, it isn't...so you should be quiet...If you make too much noise, someone might come and check." His silken tone made John shiver in his arms. Lin looked at him warmly, trailing his lips along the sensitive flesh of his neck and licking up his ear. Small sounds still escaped despite the hand he raised and pressed against his mouth. Lin turned his head once more to capture his lips again, swallowing the sounds as he slowly eased his trousers and pants down, letting his cock spring free.

"No wait, Koujo!" John objected as he felt the material getting lower, his struggles only helping Lin to push the material down to his ankles. John felt mortified as he sat half naked on Lin's lap. The black material of Lin's slacks was almost rough against his bare ass. He flushed as Lin almost growled in his ear, dark brown eyes staring at his shapely legs and bobbing shaft. He caught John's hand as he tried to cover himself.

"I've wanted to do this since I saw that picture earlier." Lin heard a small gasp as John looked away. "You have no idea what you do to me." He bit their mating mark with teasing teeth, tightening his hold as John's body stiffened and shuddered. John couldn't stop the desperate little moan that escaped. He clapped a hand over his mouth moments later, cheeks pink as he nervously eyed the door. He squirmed as Lin ran both hands up and down his bare thighs before thrusting up from his seat, letting him feel his own need on his rounded rump.

"We shouldn't, not here!" John objected again, trying to get to his feet. He half turned, using one hand to push at Lin's chest, but he was having none of it. A strong arm looped around his waist, pulling him back against his chest, while the other stroked up his inner thigh to cover his solid cock. He enjoyed the gasp John left against his lips, small sounds escaping once more as he tried to wriggle free of the stroking hand. It felt so good, making him twitch and buck at regular intervals.

"I want you Johnathan, right here..." Lin replied seductively as he tightened the grip on his cock and gave a long, slow tug. John shivered and shuddered in his arms, unable to stop the sounds escaping his throat. He bit his own knuckles as he fell back against his chest, panting and whining, toes barely touching the floor since Lin's legs were so long. He couldn't get any purchase on the thin carpet as he squirmed, whimpering as his spine arched helplessly into Lin's touch.

"K-Koujo!" he objected urgently, panting helplessly as his cock started throbbing and pulsing in Lin's large hand. Lin released his cock and captured his lips once more, returning to pinch and pluck his hardened nubs and stroke his chest. John's hazy eyes followed his hand as it reached for his desk drawer, cheeks flushing as Lin pulled out a bottle of lube. When did he-

"I realised it would be wise to get some after that time in the kitchen." He enjoyed the flush of his mate's cheeks as he remembered himself spread open on the kitchen counter. He could suddenly smell butter. It made his cock twitch. Lin held one of his wrists and nibbled his throat as he uncapped the lube with his free hand. John squirmed and objected even more at the clicking sound.

"You'll make your clothes dirty!" He just knew that Mai and Naru were going to ask questions. How have they not heard any of this? He was embarrassed as another moan escaped his lips. It felt so good as Lin's hand circled his ass. He gasped as he was pushed forward, catching his forearms against the desk as a hand rested on his shoulder blades, pushing him down on the scattered papers. He felt almost dazed as he stayed down, melting into the table as his omega revelled in his submission.

"A problem easily solved." The jingle of metal told him he'd pulled his belt free. He heard the rustle of material before something soft but hard slid between his plump cheeks. He flushed and trembled as he realised Lin was rubbing his cock between his thighs, the length reaching through to nudge his balls and tease his own twitching cock. John bit his lip as he moaned. He was almost regretful as Lin moved back and took his seat.

"Ah! Nn-Jo!" John whined as a slicked finger pressed and teased his ring before pushing in. He moved his hips, writhing and squirming against the messy desk. He couldn't push himself up with Lin's hand on his back, pressing him into the hard wood and scattered papers. His nails scratched at the shiny surface, desperate for grip. He tried to force himself up, only to be pushed back down. He was helpless. At Lin's mercy. His cheeks flushed at the tantalising thought. Lin smirked as he watched John's posture gradually relax, slowly easing into a more willing position, opening his thighs a little wider as he raised his ass in submission.

"That's better," Lin praised as he added a second finger. John didn't even try to hold back the whimpering moans this time as he arched his spine even further. Lin stopped pressing down so roughly and rubbed circles on his clothed spine, enjoying the small murmurs that came with each circuit. "Go on...move yourself," he encouraged gently as he eased in a third finger and stilled his hand. He watched John bury his face on the desk as he slowly nudged his hips back. Cute...Lin smiled warmly as John's ears coloured. He was mortified. Despite his embarrassment, he slowly leaned forward until Lin's fingers almost slipped from his passage. Lin watched, almost fascinated as John slowly rocked back, taking his fingers almost to the knuckles. His movements were slow and uncertain, lacking the usual confidence that came with lust and heat. That's more than likely because I'm in charge at those times...Has John ever taken the lead before?

"K-Koujo, I can't..." His uncertainty and vulnerability seeped through their bond. He wanted Lin to take control, to be his alpha. He let out a shuddering gasp as Lin ran his free hand over his thigh and ass, then up his bare spine. It was a touch that was both soothing and sensual at the same time. His blush deepened as he felt Lin press his soft lips against his bare ass.

"Just do what feels good." Lin gave him a helping hand as he pumped his fingers. John whimpered as Lin explored his passage, only stopping when he felt his body jolt and shudder. Found it. He smirked, slowly circling that area and feeling John's hips start to rock. John rolled his hips, trying to find that spot again as Lin's fingers stilled within him. He started rocking a little rougher, small moans escaping with each buck of his inexperienced hips.

A whine broke free as Lin stopped him and pulled out. John's distress flooded their bond. His body had been denied release twice now, and he was feeling the strain of it. Lin hushed and soothed him, stroking his blonde locks assuringly as he pulled him from the desk. John's blue eyes looked over his shoulder vulnerably to see Lin stroking his own cock. Their eyes met and John thought he might spill then and there. His dark eyes were almost hungry as he stared up at him.

"Ride me." Lin wasn't sure if he was ordering or begging. John's cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of red. He was uncertain, but slowly followed as Lin guided him back with a hand on his hip. Lin shifted a little closer to the edge of his chair, allowing John to keep both feet on the floor. John felt nervous as he looked down at the floor, seeing both sets of pants around their ankles. He could feel Lin's bare thighs against his own as he was eased lower.

"Hah! Hn!" John's blue eyes widened as he felt Lin's cock slowly pushing through the loosened ring of muscle. He still wasn't used to it, not outside his heat, not without the slick. He felt Lin's hand leave his hip to stroke lower, prying his cheeks further apart to ease his entry a little. I feel like I'm going to burst! His mouth dropped as more strangled sounds escaped his lips. So much...He felt hazy as his ass finally came to rest on Lin's pelvis, both of them breathing hard.

Lin guided John's smaller hands to the armrests of the chair and waited. John shivered as he slowly adjusted to the girth in his passage. He couldn't help squirming in place as he tried to find a better position. He whimpered and moaned as Lin moved within him, though he made no move to take charge. Using the plastic armrests, John pushed himself up before falling back down again with a sharp gasp. It was almost more intense outside his heat when he could really feel it. He moved up and down again, still slow and uncertain.

"J-Jo!" John objected as Lin reached around to stroke and tease his neglected shaft. He moaned playful assurances in his ear before returning his attention to his pale throat. John shivered and moaned in his alpha's grasp, finding a new reason to move as Lin started matching shallow pumps with his small rocks. He squirmed a little more, eyes widening as Lin's cock brushed that spot inside. "I-I can't...anymore..." John whined finally, getting tired as he slumped back in Lin's arms.

"Alright," Lin soothed, panting as he eased John over the desk once more. John writhed and moaned as he leaned down, pressing against his back and breathing hot gasps in his ear as he rocked him against the hard wooden surface. Moans and whimpers fled John's lips as he circled his hips, skin smacking loudly in the quiet room. John blushed at the thought of Mai sitting on the other side of the door listening to every sound. "Johnathan!" The deep moan in his ear sent him over the edge with a helpless mewl, white streams painting the floor beneath Lin's desk.

"Jo!" John slumped to his knees, Lin's seed seeping down his milky thighs. He was too tired and dazed to move or register what was happening. A gentle hand wiped his stained skin, but he was only vaguely aware of it. Looking up, he found Lin with a packet of wet wipes, dark eyes sated and warm. His cheeks flushed a little as John gripped his shirt and got to his knees, eyes still hazy as he leaned up needily. He'd never looked more kissable.

"Thank you," Lin murmured as he leaned in and sealed their lips in a gentle kiss, one that was so passionate that John felt himself getting excited again. He pushed himself back breathlessly, cheeks flushed as he looked away. Lin chuckled softly as he laced a hand in John's curled locks. He helped him dress again, quietly wishing he had room for a sofa in the small office as John yawned tiredly. "Why don't you go and rest awhile?"

"Want to stay here." John closed his sleepy eyes as he leaned against his chest. Lin hummed softly as he embraced him, wondering what to do. He didn't want to put him on the hard floor, but he couldn't work with him sleeping in his lap either. He eventually settled on a third option.

"Wait here." Lin left him standing by the desk rubbing his tired blue eyes as he gathered the scattered papers and grabbed his pen. John was a little confused as Lin led him by the wrist out into the main office, where Mai's desk currently sat empty. John was too tired to think about it as Lin led him around to the sofa and sat down with his papers on one knee, leaving the other thigh free.

Lin didn't even look up. He simply waited for him to make his move. John slowly settled on the sofa, curling up on his side and resting his head on Lin's thigh, with one hand reaching up to grip the black trouser leg. This is...nice...He felt safe and content as he breathed his mate's scent spiced through the material, nuzzling closer as he closed his tired eyes. He smiled softly as a hand laced in his golden locks, the quiet scratch of Lin's pen filling the otherwise silent room.
