Chapter 37
When they arrived home, Raul wanted to go straight upstairs with Ji-Su to finish what they’d started in the hotel room.
But first he had to make plans for Ji-Su’s safety.
Besides, he could see that Ji-Su was still a little rattled from the incident with Cedric.
And to be honest, he needed to cool down from his anger.
Now wasn’t the time for sexual intimacy.
He cupped Ji-Su’s face, gently brushing a thumb across his cheek. “Why don’t you go up to our room and take a hot bath? I’m sure that will make you feel better.”
Ji-Su shook his head. “I’m fine. Really.”
“But a hot bath would still feel nice, right?”
Ji-Su thought for a moment before he answered. “It would. Will you join me?”
“I have some business to attend to first.”
“You’re not leaving, are you?”
“I’m not going anywhere,” Raul assured him. “I need to talk to the staff about a few things. As soon as I’m done, I’ll join you upstairs.”
“Okay.”
Raul leaned down to kiss him then gave him a gentle push toward the stairs. When Ji-Su was half way up, he stopped and looked over his shoulder.
“Don’t take too long. I haven’t forgotten what you said you were going to do to me tonight.”
“I haven’t either,” Raul said with a smile.
Ji-Su went the rest of the way up the stairs. Once he’d disappeared down the hall, Raul asked Gloria and Burke to meet him in his office.
Raul sat down in his chair and looked at his mayordoma and head guard. “It’s clear that Cedric is stalking Ji-Su. If he had found him alone at that hotel...” His stomach lurched at the thought of what Cedric might have done to a defenseless Ji-Su.
“I’m glad that didn’t happen,” Gloria said with a worried frown.
“So am I,” Burke said. “Dan feels bad and wants to apologize for letting Ji-Su leave.”
“Dan has no need to apologize. He didn’t do anything wrong.
In fact, he did the right thing by immediately alerting someone that Ji-Su left the grounds.
” Raul propped an elbow on the desktop and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“I won’t keep him from leaving the ranch if he wants to.
But until Cedric is handled, if he does leave it’s with multiple armed guards accompanying him. ”
“Petra gave me Ji-Su’s keys. What if he wants to drive?” Burke asked.
Raul shook his head. “No more driving. In fact, give his keys to Gloria.”
Burke passed the key ring to the mayordoma.
“Put them away for now. If he asks, tell him you don’t know where they are and send him to me. I’ll let him know that he’s not allowed to drive but hopefully it won’t come up.”
“Understood.”
“Burke, let all the guards know that if Ji-Su is out and Cedric is spotted anywhere in the vicinity, they are to get Ji-Su out of there and call me immediately. I will be sure to have my phone on me at all times from now on. Also, someone is reporting Ji-Su’s whereabouts to Cedric.
So have security keep an eye out for anyone hanging around or following him when he’s not on the ranch.
I’ll leave it to you to assign shifts and details. ”
“Yes, sir.”
With Ji-Su’s security arranged, Raul went upstairs to join him as he’d promised.
He found him in the bathroom, soaking in the garden tub.
The air was warm and steamy and smelled of the fragrant vanilla bath oil he’d used in the water.
Damp hair clung to his forehead and the nape of his neck as he reclined on a bath pillow.
“You look relaxed,” Raul said.
Ji-Su lazily rolled his head on the pillow to look at him.
“I am. A hot bath was a great idea.”
Raul sat on the edge of the tub. “I’m sorry about Cedric.”
“It’s not your fault. He’s nothing more than a bored loser. He’s probably acting out scenes from one of his power trip movies or something.”
Raul hated to put any fear in Ji-Su’s head, but he needed to understand the truth of Cedric’s intentions.
“Listen. I don’t want you to be unnecessarily afraid, but Cedric is more than a bored loser.
He’s dangerous. If you ever see him or his people, I want you to get away as fast and as safely as possible. ”
“Are you serious?”
“Very serious,” Raul said with a firm nod.
“From now on, whenever you’re outside the ranch you’re going to be accompanied by several guards.
You listen to what they say and do what they tell you to do.
That means if they say you need to leave wherever you are, you do it.
Trust me when I say it’s for your protection. ”
“Okay.”
The tension in Raul’s shoulders eased when Ji-Su readily agreed to be under a tighter guard than before.
“Raul?”
“Yes?”
“Can we stop talking about Cedric now?”
“I suppose we can do something else,” he teased. “What do you want to do instead?”
Ji-Su turned onto his side in the tub, the water gently sloshing back and forth with the movement. He brought a hand up from the water and placed it on Raul’s thigh, wetting his pant leg. His cheeks, already pink from the heat of the bath, turned a deeper shade of rose.
“You know what I want to do.”
Raul smiled, charmed at his pet’s mix of bold and bashful. “Hmmm... I do but I don’t want to interrupt your bath.” Uncaring that he was getting his shirt sleeve wet, he reached in to the tub to slide his hand in between Ji-Su’s thighs. “Are you sure you’re ready to get out?”
Ji-Su nodded. “I’m ready.”
The husky note to his voice made it clear he was ready for more than the end of his bath.
“Let’s get you out of there then,” Raul said as he stroked his hand up, ghosting over his lover’s cock. Ji-Su gave a soft gasp at the touch, but Raul pretended he didn’t notice. He picked him up from the tub and set him on the floor mat.
“I have one thing I want you to agree to do for me,” Raul said as he dried Ji-Su with a big fluffy towel.
“What?”
“If anything feels wrong, or you get scared, or I hurt you—.”
“That won’t happen.”
Raul continued on despite Ji-Su’s protest. “But if it does, you say red and I’ll stop immediately. If you can’t speak, it’s two taps on my arm or wherever you can reach. Understand?”
Ji-Su nodded. “I understand.”
“Okay, then.” He let the towel drop to the floor.
Grabbing Ji-Su’s ass with both hands, he picked him up again and carried him to the bedroom.
The bed with the destroyed headboard was gone.
In its place was a smaller one that he recognized from one of the guest rooms. He was sure Gloria had a permanent replacement on order.
“Don’t hold back,” Ji-Su said.
“I won’t.”
He set Ji-Su down at the foot of the bed and looked at him with his head tilted to the side in thought.
“What?”
“You haven’t sucked my cock yet.”
Ji-Su’s eyes went wide.
“Yes, I have,” he protested.
“Not the way I want you to. I want you to let me fuck your mouth, remember?”
“I remember.” Ji-Su lifted his chin as if he was issuing a challenge. “Do it.”
“I will, sweetheart. But you’re already naked. Let me catch up.”
Raul began to undress, making Ji-Su stand there and wait as he did so.
He bit back a smile as his little blood pet impatiently shifted from foot to foot.
Once Raul was naked, he settled on the bed, sitting with his back against the headboard and his knees spread wide.
He crooked a finger at Ji-Su. “Come here.”
Ji-Su put a knee on the mattress, then crawled up the bed to kneel between Raul’s spread thighs. Raul put a hand on the top of his head, pushing him down until he was face to face with his cock.
“You make me so hard.” Raul took his erect cock in hand, rubbing it over Ji-Su’s cheeks and smearing pre-cum on his skin. “Open up,” he said as he slapped the heavy length against his lips.
Ji-Su obediently opened his mouth, then stared up at Raul with wide eyes, waiting.
A rush of arousal swept through him at his lover’s eagerness. Pushing the head of his cock in to lay on Ji-Su’s tongue, he told him exactly what he wanted him to do. “Get it wet,” he ordered.
Ji-Su’s pink tongue came out and daintily licked at the head. He swirled his tongue over it several times, leaving it wet and gleaming. But that wasn’t enough.
“All of it,” Raul growled.
Ji-Su moved down Raul’s shaft, licking all over it as he went until he was wet from root to tip.
Finally satisfied, he put a hand on Ji-Su’s head and pushed his mouth down on his shaft.
Tangling his fingers in Ji-Su’s silky blond hair, he started working him up and down on his cock, using his mouth like his own personal toy.
“Fuck, that’s good,” he cursed in a rough whisper.
He kept one hand wrapped around the base of his cock, preventing Ji-Su from taking too much and choking, but Ji-Su smacked at his hand. Amused, Raul laughed softly. “You want more, sweet thing?”
Raul didn’t stop using Ji-Su’s mouth to let him speak, so to answer, he nodded as much as Raul’s hold on his head would allow.
“Okay, then. You can have it all.” Raul moved his hand out of the way and watched from heavy lidded eyes as without hesitation, Ji-Su took him down nearly to the base of his cock. Impressed, he groaned with both awe and arousal. “That’s it. Suck it exactly like that.”
Raul’s cock throbbed as Ji-Su kept sucking, the noise his wet mouth and lips made gliding up and down on his cock filthy and slick.
He loved every second of this. But he didn’t want to tire Ji-Su out so he pushed him off.
To his surprise however, Ji-Su chased after him, tongue desperately licking over his shaft.
“Still hungry, sweetheart?” Raul asked.
“Yes.” Ji-Su nodded, looking pretty and flushed and overcome with arousal. “I want more.”
