The sun hasn't shown itself to start a new day but in an exquisite Presidential suite,  a man was quietly gazing at his lover as they slept. Clad in silk pajama bottoms that encased his long muscular legs, he sat beside the person he has been chasing for two years with a satisfied smile on his face. His bare chest was tightly muscled and smooth, his arms were was equally so. As he lowered his head to kiss his lover's head, his back curved elegantly giving anyone behind him the view of a large and intricate back tattoo of beautiful Geisha caressing a fierce looking python. 

Gently he stroked the messy brown hair of his love as they slept. 'How cute," he mused. His mind wandered to their roll in the sheets that ended an hour ago. The love bites on his lover's body showed how excited he was of their time together.

"Hmm?" 

A loud vibration caught his ears. His lover frowned due to the disturbance. The man turned to the night table and found the source. Checking the caller ID, his hand paused then he answered it with a steady tone. It was neither arrogant nor meek. He knew who was on the other end of the call.

"Hello."

"Bold. Ryan O'Shea."

"As expected of the young master," Ryan said with a chuckle. He laughed because of his present situation. He has yet to meet this Delacourde, only seen him in photos yet he was called by his given name after uttering one word. Its clear to see that he was investigated thoroughly.

"Mr. O'Shea, I want to believe that you pursuing one of my people is of pure notions and not a pre-conceive one. Though this one tend to wander, he is still under my protection."

Ryan interpreted the warning clearly. He swallowed the uncomfortable lump in his throat then answered. His startling blue eyes fell on the man who was now restlessly turning in bed.

"Its pure, Young Master Eros. He revealed his association with you a month ago when he returned from Sweden. I assure you that I truly love him. This isn't a plot of any kind. My mother and I were sent away before all of 'that' happened and I have no need for revenge."

"Due to your persistence and the effect you have on him, I choose to believe you. Don't embarrass me, O'Shea." Eros's voice was cold and piercing. Ryan felt like a knife was placed at the back of his neck, ready to move if he fucks up even once. 

It was amusing. He, at thirty one, fearing someone younger than him. Hahh ~ Its understanding when the kid has the entire West Coast under his thumb. 

"Yes, young master," Ryan dutifully answered.

"Very well. Please tell Shaun to change our meeting to a casual one. He will know what to do." 

Ryan was about to reply but the call was ended before he uttered a word. He stared blankly at the phone and chuckled. "This family can never be taken lightly."

Returning the phone to the nightstand, he slipped of his pajamas and slid under covers to hold his lover. He pulled the tattooed young man in his arms and kissed his brows. 
"Why are you up?" The hoarse whisper made him laugh. He really went overboard.

"Overseas Video meeting in thirty." Ryan held him tighter and moved his soft kisses to Shaun's lips and ear.

"Mmmm. Have fun, baby." His warm breath brushed against Ryan's throat. It was a reflex that Ryan pulled him onto his body to share their body heat and to ease his greed.

"Your boss called. He said to change the meeting to a casual one."

That message was definitely heard. Shaun's eyes flew open in panic. "The young master called? Why? Why so early?" The sleep left his body placing him on alert. He sat up quickly, ready for action.

Ryan watched closely as his lover shifted from a pampered kitty to a bloodthirsty tiger. 'What kind of training did these guys go through?' he quietly asked himself.
"He was ... calm when he spoke. He said you will know what to do," he answered.

Shaun frowned but his body relaxed gradually. "The young master prefers privacy. A private dinner at one of the restaurants under the family would be ideal. It is formal but its with casual fr --- Ah! I now get it. Foolish me." He playfully threw himself on his partner and hugged his waist, holding him for a while before he leaves.

"What is it?" Ryan was curious. He could never understand how people can decipher intentions or orders within a few words. He knew of the Delacourde's second identity due to his childhood but he was never involved in the rules and society of the underground. His mother kept him away from it all because of his father's love for them. 

"The young master only changes his way of doing things or plans for his family. Who are we going to meet also? What are you to me?" Shaun asked as he placed a teasing kiss on Ryan's waist.

"I'm your lover and we are going to meet him and his new lover." Ryan was distracted by Shaun's playful kisses that were getting lower.

"Yes. You're about to meet the man I previously had a relationship with. Won't you be bothered?"

"Huh? Umm.... Not really."

Shaun's hot breath woke up a friend who was now eager to please him.

"You and I are considered experienced or veterans in the circle. Even the young master. We can handle the pressure of first time meetings easily but what of the new jewels? Meeting their lover's ex-partners. Think of the pressure." Shaun gave him a teasing look and brushed his lips against warm velvety skin of the impatient friend.
Ryan breathed out slowly and kept an eye on Shaun. 

The little tease licked his lips then boldly glide his tongue along the length of his cock before abruptly covering it with his mouth.

"Its rare to find a jewel in the circle," Ryan commented through gritted teeth. His eyes were stuck on Shaun as his cock disappeared behind those red kiss-swollen lips. He felt the tip of his cock hitting the back of Shaun's throat, making him slightly gag. A cruel smirk floated on his lips. His hand struck out and roughly grabbed a fistful of thick brown hair. He forcefully tugged his head away from his cock.

The provocative grin on Shaun's face showed that he was waiting for Ryan to let go of his elegant demeanor. 

Shaun loved this man. On the surface he was an eloquent, handsome International lawyer who was highly successful. Under that shell was man who will please his lover and push him to the limits. When they are out of the sheets, they were a harmonious couple showing each other their weaknesses and strengths. Ryan O-Shea was the man Eros told him to look for. Who would of thought this person - a loyal fan - was his perfect companion.

"How is your body?" Ryan asked. He took away his hold from Shaun's hair and flipped him over, kicking away the sheets. He locked Shaun's upper body between his thighs and pinned his arms above his head.

"Still sore." Shaun couldn't help but marvel at the guy above him. His angelic looks of blonde hair, blue eyes were mesmerizing but his momentum and the wild look in his eyes were far from pure. 
He trembled in anticipation, waiting for his lover to push him to the edge.

"It seems like I was a bit too much with my baby. I guess I have to be .... gentle this time." Ryan held Shaun's jaw tightly and brushed his cock against Shaun's lips, playfully prodding for entry until he was welcomed. He chuckled. "Open, baby."

The excited gleam in Shaun's eye moved Ryan's heart. His partner complimented him greatly. Shaun opened his mouth with his tongue as a welcome. He thrust his cock into the warm haven until he reached that soft obstruction. He grinned when he heard the soft gag. Ryan tightened his hold on Shaun's arms and held his head steady. His hips sped up; moving rapidly in and out of his lover's mouth. Crystal like tears rolled down Shaun's eyes but a satisfied and erotic smile around Ryan's cock contradicted those tears.

Shaun's body became feverish with the stimulation, the need for his own release went unattended, it was purposely done. 

Ryan looked over his shoulder and saw Shaun's rigid cock glistening at the tip with precum. The restless movements of his legs showed his restraint.

He looked down and was caught by those mesmerizing brown eyes. "Oh how I love you." 
Shaun shifted his fingers to grip Ryan's when he heard those words. 

He fucked faster when Shaun wrapped his tongue around his cock. His body twitched by the dual pleasure. His release surged faster. He gave Shaun room to breathe by stopping his deep thrusts. With the teasing of Shaun's tongue and his steady thrusts it was enough to spill freely. 
Ryan smirked and pulled his cock from Shaun's mouth, watching his release between his lover's lips and now on his chest.

He slipped off the bed and pulled Shaun to the bathroom. 

As Shaun cleaned up, Ryan held him from the back and helped him reach his own release. Watching his man jerk him off in the mirror was gratifying.

"Take a good rest."

"Sure." The hoarse voice was expected. 

The two took a quick shower together whispering sweet nothing until Ryan rushed out to get ready for his meeting. Being the doting partner, he made sure Shaun was back in bed and comfortable before going to the living area. 

Shaun smiled happily and once again congratulated himself in accepting Ryan's pursuit. When he returned from his vacation with his friends in the Caribbean, he took the initiative to reach out to the lawyer.
Ryan was the one who planned their first date. He flew from London to Malibu and created the sweetest romantic atmosphere for him and Shaun. 

"Now! What to do about the young master's lover? Since he pushed me into being with Ryan, isn't it my duty to make sure his partner feels comfortable." Grabbing his phone, Shaun sent a few texts before catching up on his sleep.

A few hours later, a private jet landed on a private airstrip, stopping near the convoy of mixed luxury vehicles. The guards who were on stand by saw the door opened and the stairs released, they left the cars and created a secured path for their boss. A young man stepped out dressed in a pair of slim fit distressed jeans, a plain t-shirt and an oversized cardigan. From a distance the man looked like a lazy teenager but upon closer look you can see the maturity and dominance in his eyes.

Eros Delacourde returned to Pasadena ahead of schedule. After his call with Jaejin, he worked through the night, held meetings and wrapped up the loose ends in Las Vegas before leaving.

On the flight, he made sure Macallis and his band of merry friends were securely behind bars and their assets under his possession. Even that delusional girl was behind bars, the only one who was spared was the wife. She was currently like a headless chicken trying to get lawyer fees. The authorities froze their accounts when the investigations started and the shareholders began to dismantle the company when the stocks began to waver. 
Eros made sure to get his compensation before leaving the crumbs for the other vultures.

"Is he at school?" 

"Yes, young master." The guard he asked was one from the original squad he formed for Jaejin.

"Leave the team near the college to watch over him. I will pick him up after his classes. Jian, notify Rebecca that I wish to have a casual lunch with Miss Han and Mister Ji-hun in the hotel's restaurant."

"Give me a time," Jian asked from behind him.

"Eleven. I will use the ZX this afternoon. Don't forget to check the extra helmet and configure it with mine."

"Are you in a good state to go by yourself?" Jian was worried about his friend. It's not normal for Eros to go shopping on his own, even to make groceries.

Eros stopped in his tracks and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He understood their thinking. He lived on a one track mind for years. Frivolous things like shopping and doing errands were left to the team of assistants under him. 
The little scare from the previous night showed him how shielded he was. His entire faction was built to protect him and his people, leaving him without any worry. Now, he placed Jaejin in that same position. 
He was treating his lover as glass. Eros recalled what Jaejin said to him before going back to college - he didn't want to be treated like a treasure on a pedestal. He had to allow him to suffer to grow stronger.

"I am. I need some time to sort out the changes that are to be made."

Jian and the soldiers around him were curious of these changes. "Okay. Here you go." Jian placed the keys to his favorite Audi in his hand. 

"Thank you."

The team watched on as their young master left the tarmac in a breakneck speed. They couldn't help but wonder why this need for change came about.

~~~~~~~~

Eros found himself at a mall that claims to have the best and wide variety of stores. Anything can be found there - from novelty items to the latest fashion.

His reason for coming here was simple. 

Min Jaejin.

Though they went shopping together, it was brand name clothing to match his aesthetic. Eros wanted his partner to be comfortable in and out of their home. He also wanted to spoil Jaejin. 

He found a few merchandise of his favorite anime characters, accessories to help him with his drawing and animating, a few causal clothing were added and a pair of biker boots for later. Grocery shopping was done and a few miscellaneous purchases. 

It was relaxing to walk around without his bodyguards. He wasn't heavily shown in the media which gave him some freedom. It felt good to buy things for himself and his lover. 

The little outing placed his thoughts in order; one by one he wrote in his memo things he wanted adjusted and changed. These things will put him in the public eye but he wanted his Jaejin to have the life he left New Mexico for. 
"It's not so bad coming out once in a while," he said aloud as he drove back to the hotel. There was a little anxiety in suddenly going about freely when he spent years placing all his efforts in safety and keeping out of the public eye. 
"Reese and Luke moves without a care, why can't I?"
Eros's self-preservation actions stems from his quiet personality, it is also the reason why his family watches over him. If they know of the reason of his sudden change won't they be pleased?

What won't a man do for love?!
