Sleeping With My Step Daddy
Chapter 71: "Invite Them for Dinner"

Chapter 71: "Invite Them for Dinner"

The morning was calm and sweet for Reiji and Eden. Eden’s eyes opened, and he looked at Reiji, who was still peacefully asleep. Gently, Eden traced his fingers through Reiji’s hair. Slowly, Reiji’s eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning," Eden whispered.

"Morning," Reiji mumbled back, still half-dazed.

Eden continued to stroke Reiji’s hair and asked, "How does it feel?"

Reiji winced slightly and replied, "My bottom hurts like hell. It’s so uncomfortable."

Eden smirked. "It’s because it’s your first time. I’ll put some ointment on it for you."

Reiji shook his head, trying to brush off the offer. "It’s okay, I can do it myself."

Eden chuckled. "Why are you so shy?"

Reiji turned his head away, trying to avoid Eden’s teasing. "Who’s shy?" he replied, his tone sharp.

Eden grinned. "Alright, alright. Take a shower after breakfast, and I’ll drop you off."

Reiji stood up, wrapping the blanket around his waist, and grabbed his phone to call his guards.

Eden quickly stood and held onto Reiji’s waist from behind. Reiji paused, still holding his phone, as he spoke to his guards. "Have them pick up my car from the club," he said before ending the call.

"Eden," Reiji said, still feeling the weight of Eden’s arms around him. "What are you doing?"

Eden kissed his neck gently and grinned. "Can we do one more round?"

Reiji pushed him away, clutching the blanket tighter. "Nope, it already hurts too much."

Eden’s teasing smile remained. "If we don’t do more, how are you going to loosen up?"

Reiji ignored him, heading straight for the bathroom. He slammed the door behind him, leaving Eden with a playful smile, clearly amused by the situation.

After some time, Eden and Reiji arrived at the mansion. Eden turned to Reiji and said, "I want to meet Kai."

Reiji nodded, and they both entered. Eden sat on the couch in the hallway, while Reiji took a seat on a nearby couch, his face calm and unreadable.

Yuna quickly emerged from a room when the servant informed her that Reiji arrived. The moment she saw Reiji, she gasped. "Oh, my son! Where have you been last night? I was so worried! You didn’t take your guards with you."

She immediately hugged Reiji, who sighed softly. "I’m fine, Mom. I was just with my friends."

Eden stood up, and Reiji gestured toward him. "Mom, this is Kai’s friend, and mine too."

Eden politely greeted Yuna, offering a respectful nod.

Yuna smiled warmly, though there was a hint of concern in her eyes. "Thank you for taking care of Reiji. He’s so stubborn, I always worry about him." She looked at Reiji with a gentle but worried expression. "Have you had breakfast?"

Reiji nodded. "Yeah, I ate."

At that moment, Kai walked in, blinking in confusion as he noticed Reiji sitting with Eden. "Why is Reiji with Eden?" he muttered to himself.

Yuna turned to him, "I’ll have the servants prepare something special for our guest."

She walked away with a smile, leaving Kai to approach Eden slowly, his curiosity clearly piqued.

Kai walked in and greeted, "Hey, Eden." He looked at Reiji before asking, "Reiji, where were you last night?"

Eden replied with a teasing smile, "He was with me."

Reiji glanced at Kai and shrugged. "I just got a little drunk, and Eden took me to his place."

Eden smiled playfully, his expression a bit teasing, but Reiji shot him a dangerous look in return. Kai, clearly confused by the situation, raised an eyebrow. "What’s going on here?"

Eden nodded, confirming Reiji’s words. "Yeah, Reiji’s right."

Reiji, wanting to escape the awkward moment, stood up and said, "You two have a good talk," before walking away.

Just then, Aiko walked in, spotting Reiji. "How are you, brother? Last night, you ran off like a lost puppy."

Reiji groaned, clearly frustrated. "Aiko, I’m not in the mood. Leave me alone."

Aiko glanced at Eden, her eyes lighting up with interest. "Mr. Handsome is here again," she said, practically glowing. She quickly walked over to Eden and greeted him with a bright smile. "Hello, Eden."

Eden returned the smile. "Hello, Miss Aiko."

Reiji turned and muttered under his breath, "Ah, my flirty sister."

Aiko, not missing a beat, turned to Kai. "Kai, you have such a handsome friend."

Kai awkwardly smiled. "Yeah, thanks."

Aiko giggled. "I wish I had a boyfriend like him, but Mr. Handsome is already taken." She looked at Eden, her eyes sparkling.

Kai blinked, surprised. "Wait, when did you in relationship...?

Reiji’s curiosity piqued, and he thought to himself, If Eden’s in a relationship, why did he sleep with me?

Eden answered, "Yeah, Kai, I’m in a relationship now."

Reiji’s eyes widened in shock, and he murmured, "He really in a relationship?"

Kai, now even more confused, raised his eyebrows. "Don’t tell me you and Reiji—"

Eden smiled, cutting him off. "Yeah, it’s true. I’m Reiji’s boyfriend."

Aiko’s eyes went wide, and she shouted, "Reiji, you always steal my men!"

Reiji spun around, flustered, and shouted, "What the hell? That’s not true!"

Eden, not missing a beat, grinned at Kai. "It’s true, Kai. Reiji and I are in a relationship."

Reiji grabbed Eden’s hand and said, "We need to talk."

Eden :"Talk later kai."

Reiji, dragged him to his room. Kai blinked, surprised. "So, Eden and Reiji are a couple? I guess that’s true. Last night, Reiji said he loves someone..."

Aiko, feigning tears, said, "Kai, I’m heartbroken. Can you comfort me?"

Kai, clearly frustrated, replied, "Nope, I’m already going to meet Bast. Aiko, you should call someone else."

Aiko pouted, "Why? Why does my brother always steal every handsome man?"

Kai shook his head in frustration and quickly walked away.

Reiji dragged Eden into his room, shutting the door behind him. "What the hell are you doing?"

Eden shrugged. "What? I just said the truth."

Reiji stared at him, angry. "What truth? You’re not my boyfriend."

Eden smirked and wrapped his arms around Reiji’s waist. "After sleeping with me, how can you say we’re not a couple?"

Reiji pushed him away, his voice cold. "It’s just a one-night stand."

Eden said, " it’s a one-night stand for you, but not for me?" He pushed Reiji’s waist again and added, "Really? You didn’t want me?"

Reiji looked away, trying to avoid Eden’s gaze, but Eden wasn’t having it. He held Reiji’s face gently, making him look up, then kissed him passionately hungrily. Reiji struggled at first, but slowly, he melted into Eden’s warmth.

Meanwhile, Kai and Bast were sitting in the car. Bast held Kai’s hand and asked, "Kai, what happened?"

Kai replied, "Bast, last night Reiji broke the engagement."

Bast smiled. "That’s good."

Kai nodded. "Yeah, and he and Eden are in a relationship now."

Bast gently patted Kai’s head. "Why are you worried about him?"

Kai sighed. "I just... I just don’t want to hurt anyone."

Bast tilted Kai’s face to meet his eyes. "Don’t think about anyone else. Just think about me." Only me And you..."

Kai looked at Bast and smiled. Then, without another word, they kissed each other passionately.

After the kiss, Bast pulled back slightly and said, "I can’t live without you, Kai. We should tell Mr. Takeshi about our relationship."

Kai looked down, hesitant, before nodding slowly. "Yeah, I think so."

Bast studied Kai’s face carefully. Kai sighed and said, "Tonight, I’ll talk to Dad."

Bast smiled and pulled Kai into a tight hug. "For you, I can do anything. Just don’t be sad. If you don’t, I’ll talk to Mr. Takeshi myself."

Kai held him back and replied firmly, "No, I’ll talk to him myself."

Bast gave a soft laugh. "Okay."

After some time, the family gathered in the dining room, the atmosphere quiet as everyone began their dinner. Kai cleared his throat and said, "Dad, I have something important to tell you."

Takeshi, still eating, replied calmly, "We can talk after dinner, in private."

Kai nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Aiko had already informed the family about Reiji and Eden’s relationship.

Takeshi, turning to Reiji, said, "Reiji, do you really love Kai’s friend, Eden?"

Reiji blinked in confusion, unsure of how to respond.

Aiko quickly spoke up. "Yes, Uncle, it’s true. He’s having an affair with Kai’s friend. He’s cheating on Kai."

Kai interrupted her, his voice firm. "He didn’t cheat on me."

Aiko looked away, avoiding eye contact.

Yuna, looking surprised, finally said, "I’m shocked, but if my son is happy, then I’m happy for him."

Riko sighed deeply. "What can I say? If Reiji likes him, I can’t refuse him."

Reiji then spoke up again, his voice a little hesitant. "Uncle, Kai likes someone too."

Takeshi’s attention shifted to Kai. "Who?"

Kai hesitated, unsure of how to answer.

Reiji, sensing Kai’s discomfort, suggested, "How about we invite them to dinner? That way you can meet my boyfriend, and Kai can introduce his boyfriend as well."

Takeshi, considering the idea, smiled. "That’s a great idea. Tomorrow, then. We’ll have dinner with both of them."

Reiji nodded, though Kai remained quiet. He felt a knot form in his stomach. Nervousness washed over him. What should I say? he thought. He was scared of what his dad would think when he found out about his feelings for his stepfather.
