33. Rurik #2
“No wonder you had butterflies. You were nervous about me meeting your—”
I clap a hand over his mouth, half-climbing on top of him. “I was not nervous.”
Nik falls off his chair, he’s laughing so hard.
“Nik-kun, are you okay?” Kiho pokes his head in.
Nik keeps laughing.
“Come in, Key-kun! Come officially meet my boyfriend. Ignore my brother. He’s an ass and deserves the bruises he gets!” I’m still half in Ash’s lap and don’t take my hand off his mouth.
Kiho steps further into the room, getting a view of all of us. “You’ve brought him home?”
I nod excitedly. “You don’t have to tell Ash it’s a big deal. Nik already did.”
“Get off him Rurik-chan so I can introduce myself properly.”
I reluctantly climb off Ash’s lap and uncover his mouth, against my better judgment. “Ash, this is my best friend, Kiho-san.”
Kiho bows. “Ash-san.”
“Kiho-san.” Ash follows Kiho’s lead with the bow, and I’m sure he’s had loads of training on protocol and etiquette, considering his noble birth. “It’s a pleasure to meet Rurik’s best friend.”
“And to you his…” Kiho looks between us.
“Boyfriend,” I say before Ash can get a word in.
Kiho raises a brow, eyeing me.
“Sounds like we are going with boyfriend.” Ash elbows me as he sits back down.
I grab his adorable fucking face and slam our mouths together, kissing him hard and fast. His lips are swollen when I pull back, pretty sure my chest is going to explode any minute. “That’s a legally binding statement, no take backs.”
Ash doesn’t even refute it. I’m over the moon.
Kiho smiles with amusement. “This is weird, right, Nik-kun?”
“What’s weird?” Ash asks a little flustered.
Kiho gestures at him. “Rurik is different with you. It’s—sweet.”
“He is definitely different…but I think it’s good,” Nik agrees.
“Both of you are being so embarrassing right now. You’re ruining my image.” I try to put an edge in my voice but I can’t stop smiling so it kinda loses its meaning.
“Different how?” Ash glances between them.
“Stop spilling all my secrets! Like there is no loyalty.” I glare, but only half-heatedly.
“He’s quite—how to say this—obsessed.” Kiho looks at Nik who nods in agreement.
“I like it,” Ash says quietly.
I turn on him, gasping. “Excuse me? What do you like?”
“I like knowing this isn’t how you are with everyone.” Ash looks at his hands like it’s embarrassing. But he’s not the one with his best friend and brother spilling all his secrets. “That this version is only for me.”
“I’m melting. Like the forbidden marshmallow!” I climb into his lap again, covering his fucking cute ass face in kisses. “It is only for you.”
Ash fights me off but not seriously. “No, anything but the marshmallow!”
“Fine. I’m like a Kraft Single in the plastic put on a hot stove!”
“This is going to turn into a cum joke, isn’t it?” Ash just stares at me, so disappointed.
I’m unbothered and keep kissing him. “I wouldn’t be talking considering how much you like to be filled with my cum!”
“Okay, well, we should call it an evening,” Nik groans. “I draw the line at hearing about your cum!”
Kiho chuckles. “I’m used to this.”
Nik and Ash stop to look at Kiho.
“I cannot fathom you have a good explanation for that.” Nik makes the most disgusted face.
“What? You don’t think Rurik-chan talks to me all the time about how much he likes Ash’s cum? I figured he did that with everyone.” Kiho shrugs unfazed.
“Because you’re the goat and no one gets me like you do!” I make a heart with my hands.
He returns the gesture.
“Ohhhh.” Ash’s cheeks get red.
I slap them lightly. “You thought I liked his cum, didn’t you?”
Ash screws up his face and tries to deny it.
“I’m with him. I really thought this was going someplace else.” Nik shakes his head.
“How little faith you both have!”
“Wait,” Kiho says. “What did you think I was talking about, Nik-kun?”
“I think it’s time to go the fuck to bed.” Nik stands shooing us out of his room. He’s being weird, but since I want to fuck Ash and he’s always a little weird, I ignore it.
I skip taking him to meet Locke or King for the time being. We’ll have plenty of time, and I’m still annoyed at Locke. Instead, I strip Ash the second the door is closed.
I’m happy to leave Ash sleeping in my bed while I go find more food.
King: you home?
Rurik: Yessssssssss <- I’m a snake
King: With the boyfriend?
Rurik: YES!
Maybe I’m a little enthusiastic everyone is calling him my boyfriend.
King: Can we find a minute to chat tomorrow when he leaves?
Rurik: He’s sleeping. I can chat now.
King: You sure? I don’t want to drag you out of bed.
Rurik: I’m in the kitchen. Need to refuel before I fuck him again.
King: I want to know you less.
“What’s up?” I stroll into his room, eating a sandwich.
“You know how you asked me to look into Ash and Viv?”
“I figured you didn’t find anything.”
“I didn’t at first. His background check was clean. So then I looked into his parents. Dad is clean, but then I couldn’t find anything on his mom. So I started digging to figure out what her maiden name was.” He pulls up a screen and sits back.
My stomach drops. I don’t like where this is going.
“And?” My mouth is almost too dry to speak.
“She doesn’t have one.”
“What?”
“Exactly. How does she just not have a surname? But then I dug deeper and found out royals don’t have surnames.” He gestures for me to come forward.
