Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart
Chapter 155 - 154

Chapter 155: Chapter 154

Hiro pouted. “Your day was really boring.” He tilted his head a little so he could look at Raiden. “You know what? Next time, sneak out and come play with me.”

Raiden couldn’t help but laugh as he imagined himself sneaking out of work. Not that he had to since he was the boss but maybe it would be fun to try sometime. “Okay.”

The water lapped gently around them as Hiro leaned back once more, his fingers trailing absently through the petals floating on the surface. He let out a soft sigh and tilted his head back toward Raiden again.

“How do you feel about tonight?” he asked quietly, voice almost lost in the warm, candle-lit hush of the room. Ever since Raiden told him about his family situation, he couldn’t stop thinking about it and he felt bad that Raiden had to face the woman who had tormented him for years. He couldn’t even imagine how heartless the woman had to be to starve Raiden while her own kids ate food in front of him. It was downright cruel and his heart ached for the young Raiden.

Raiden didn’t answer right away. His hands slowed on Hiro’s shoulders, then slipped down to his waist, holding him gently.

“So long as you’re beside me...” he murmured near Hiro’s ear, “I’ll be fine.” And he really would. There was no one who could keep him safe and grounded like Hiro. So long as Hiro was with him, even if his stepmother insults him or humiliates him, he could take it without feeling an ounce of anger or hatred.

In this life, he just needed Hiro by his side.

Hiro turned around in the tub, facing him fully now, water rippling between them as he wrapped his arms around Raiden’s neck. His champagne coloured eyes sparkled with affection, mischief, and a protective glint.

“I definitely won’t leave your side,” he declared with a small nod. “I’ll be your bodyguard tonight. I won’t let that witch come near you.”

Raiden burst into a warm laugh, his heart full of sweetness and love. “Thank you, baby,” he whispered, grinning as he leaned forward to bump their noses together.

And then, he began peppering Hiro’s face with kisses. Quick, featherlight ones. One on each cheek, his nose, his forehead, his chin. It tickled and it made Hiro giggle uncontrollably, wriggling in Raiden’s lap.

“Raiden—hey—stop!” Hiro laughed breathlessly, trying to dodge the sudden onslaught of affection. But Raiden only pulled him closer, grinning like a man drunk on love.

“Nope. You’re mine, my bodyguard,” Raiden teased between kisses. “I’m paying you in kisses. No complaints.”

Hiro’s cheeks flushed pink, his heart thudding in his chest. Their lips brushed—once, softly. Then again, slower. Raiden’s hands glided up Hiro’s back as Hiro slid closer, chest to chest, water splashing quietly around them.

The innocent bath grew heavy with heat and desire. The rose petals clung to their skin, and the air grew thicker, warmer.

Raiden’s voice was a whisper against Hiro’s lips. “You’re so beautiful baby.” Hiro was the most beautiful human he had ever seen.

Hiro’s breath hitched, his face going a deep shade of red as he whispered; “So are you Raiden.”

And then the kisses deepened. Tender turned passionate. Slow turned desperate.

The candles flickered as Raiden pulled Hiro impossibly closer, claiming every part of him like he belonged—because he did.

Hiro’s lips parted as Raiden deepened the kiss, and he moaned softly when he felt Raiden’s hand slide up his bare back, trailing wet warmth over his spine. The bathwater sloshed gently as Hiro straddled Raiden in the tub, his knees brushing the smooth porcelain, his body pressing flush against Raiden’s chiseled chest.

The kiss was hungry, wet, full of tongue and heat. Hiro whimpered into Raiden’s mouth, hands digging into his shoulders as Raiden rolled his hips up beneath the water.

The scent of cedar and lemon wrapped around them, intoxicating and warm, and the soft glow of the candlelight danced across their skin. Water glimmered on Hiro’s collarbones, droplets running down his chest. Raiden’s smokey grey orbs went darker with desire as they followed them, watching as the droplets trailed down Hiro’s chest, settling on his nipple.

“God, Hiro...” Raiden whispered, one hand cradling the back of his neck while the other slid down to grip his waist. He had no idea how crazy he made Raiden.

Without hesitation, Raiden bent and captured Hiro’s nipple with his lips, sucking the now hardened bead into his mouth.

Hiro moaned, blushing as he reached down to palm the hard thick length pressed against his abdomen beneath the water. Raiden groaned, his hips twitching up instinctively, water rippling between them as Hiro boldly jerked him off.

“Fuck baby,” Raiden murmured, voice deep and husky against Hiro’s skin. He loved how Hiro was getting bolder and bolder, doing things he wanted to do without hesitation. He loved when Hiro was shy but he also absolutely loved when Hiro takes the initiative. It made him feel wanted, needed. It was always nice to give but receiving means a lot too.

“Do you want to cum now or later when we get back? He asked.

“Oh now please.” Hiro begged breathlessly, eyes glazed with need. He was so hard that it was painful. Mainly because of the cock cage and he wanted it off as soon as possible. He didn’t care how many times Raiden would fuck him later so long as the annoying cage came off.

Raiden wasted no time. He took off the chain around his neck and in seconds, freed Hiro’s dick from the cage. Hiro moaned long and loud in relief. His dick jutted straight out of his body, precum mixing with their bath.

“Raiden please...” He pleaded, burying his heated face in Raiden’s neck as he grinded his dick against his abs. “Please... take me.”

Raiden reached over the edge of the tub for the small bottle of oil he always left nearby, unscrewing it with wet fingers. Hiro’s breath hitched in anticipation, arms clinging around Raiden’s neck. His holde clenched on air, desperate to feel his boyfriend’s fingers.

The next few minutes were a blur of soft sighs, slick sounds, water shifting, bodies pressed tight. Raiden prepared him carefully, one hand stroking soothing circles over Hiro’s thigh while the other worked gently, fingering Hiro’s tight hole.
