Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart
Chapter 54 - 53

Chapter 54: Chapter 53

This made Hiro feel a sense of connection sparkling between them. He didn’t know when or how it happened. Maybe it was after their intimate moment when they woke up this morning but he felt closer to Raiden than he did before.

Raiden’s touch did not disgust him anymore. Nor did it feel weird. Now that they were holding hands, it felt natural even. He gasped inaudibly. Was he getting used to being with Raiden as a couple? But it had only been two days! How did Raiden manage to make him so comfortable?

Suddenly, he felt himself being pressed against the car and Raiden leaned down, smashing their lips together. Hiro was caught completely off guard and Raiden slipped his tongue into Hiro’s moist cavern, kissing him deeply.

Hiro couldn’t help but moan. Seriously, Raiden was a great kisser. Not that he even had anyone to compare Raiden to since he had never kissed anyone else but he just knew it. Raiden managed to evoke responses from him that he wasn’t even aware he could give. The kiss was deep and exhilarating. It made everything in him sing. He completely forgot whatever he was thinking about and lost himself in Raiden’s captivating kiss.

It wasn’t until he was running out of breath that Raiden pulled away, panting as he pressed their foreheads together.

"You have to stop looking at me like that." Raiden breathed and Hiro shivered slightly. Raiden was so close he could feel his warm minty breath tickling his nose. "You make me want to kiss you, Hiro."

Hiro was confused. "Looking at you how?" He asked, peering into Raiden’s smokey grey eyes.

Raiden smiled and captured Hiro’s lips once again but this time, the kiss was sweet and tender. He licked Hiro’s lips, nibbling gently on the soft flesh. "Like this." He murmured. "Your eyes wide, looking so innocent. I can’t resist."

years ago, he never would have had the courage to kiss Hiro so blatantly but now, Hiro was his and there was nothing Hiro could do about it. He could touch, lick, hug and kiss to his heart’s content. He could wait to have Hiro under him too.

Hiro immediately lowered his gaze, wondering how just looking at Raiden could make him want to kiss. Not to forget that they were in a public space. Did Raiden have no sense of shame?

Raiden took Hiro’s hand and pressed into his chest. "Do you feel that, Hiro?" He asked, staring deep into Hiro’s eyes.

Hiro could feel the powerful beating of Raiden’s heart under his palm. It was racing which left Hiro stunned.

"This is the effect you have on me, Hiro." Raiden said, licking Hiro’s lower lip. He pulled it into his mouth, sucking and nibbling softly. He had half the mind to throw Hiro into the back of the car and have his way with him but he knew now wasn’t the time. There would be plenty of opportunities. After all, they had an entire year.

With that thought, he released the still disoriented Hiro and intertwined their fingers once more. "Let’s go."

As they made their way inside, Hiro who was still in a trance from Raiden’s actions quickly recovered as his gaze wandered eagerly through the vast expanse of the mall, taking in the multitude of shops and boutiques that lined its corridors.

His senses were overwhelmed by the vibrant atmosphere that surrounded him. The air was alive with the chatter of shoppers and the enticing aromas wafting from the various restaurants and food courts scattered throughout the complex.

Their footsteps echoed against the polished floors as they navigated through the throngs of people milling about, their laughter and excited chatter filling the air. Hiro’s eyes darted eagerly from side to side, taking in the dizzying array of shops and boutiques that lined the corridors, each one offering a tantalizing glimpse of treasures waiting to be unearthed.

Amidst the bustling crowd, children dashed about, their laughter ringing out like music amidst the chaos. Hiro couldn’t help but smile as he watched their youthful exuberance, a sense of nostalgia washing over him as he remembered his own carefree days spent with people he thought were his friends.

Raiden couldn’t help but be charmed by Hiro’s excitement, a fond smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he watched his Hiro’s eyes light up with delight. There was something undeniably endearing about Hiro and it made him feel more drawn to him than he ever was.

He couldn’t be happier. Walking hand in hand in a mall qith Hiro was just one of his many dreams. There were a lot more things he wanted to experience with Hiro. Right from the moment Hiro kissed him on the cheek when they were young, the boy had taken his heart and Raiden had no intent of getting it back. What he wanted was to take Hiro’s as well.

He wasn’t sure his plan was entirely working but part of it had to be for Hiro was getting more comfortable around him. He could feel it.

As they ventured into the clothing section, they were greeted by a flurry of activity as three female attendants rushed towards the entrance, their faces brightening as soon as they caught sight of Raiden. They quickly stood by side, greeting him politely with smiles and enthusiasm; "Good morning, Mr Yamato."

One girls stood out the most to Hiro because she was dressed differently. They were all in their work uniforms but while the other two had skirts that were knee-length, her’s was stopping mid-thigh and the buttons of her shirt were open, revealing her cleavage. She was even twirling a lock of hair around her finger, standing sexily while staring at Raiden like she wanted to eat him.

Hiro was suddenly annoyed. Why was she staring at Raiden in such a lecherous way? It irritated him.

"Good morning ladies." Raiden answered with a polite smile.

"Are you here to buy more suits, Mr Yamato?" The scantily dressed girl said in a sultry tone. "I’d be happy to take your measurements." She even added a wink.

"But Ruby, we already have his measurements." One of the other girls said.

Ruby gave her a scathing glare then turned back to Raiden with a smile. "We can always measure you again sir." She said. "After all, you work out and those muscles grow bigger, don’t they?"
