Schuldig
loved his little toy’s eyes. They were
just so big--so wide and almost innocent.
They moved constantly, darting back and forth as he drank in his
surroundings with a natural, eager curiosity.
Schuldig
loved to make those eyes open up wide and defenseless and absolutely
beautiful. Ken was like a deer caught
in the path of an oncoming car, his eyes reflecting back the glow of the
headlights. Ken was so beautiful like
that--trapped, helpless.
It
was that open, vulnerable beauty that drove Schuldig on; the need to feel it,
to own it--to control it. That moment
when he had Ken beneath him--begging for release and mercy, eyes spilling over
with tears of shame even as his body told Schuldig that he wanted it just as
much, just as hard--that was the moment he worked for. It was his high, and Ken was his drug.
Just
thinking about it made him feel the ghost sensations of hands and tongue and
flesh until he thought he couldn't take it--wouldn't make it until he could get
away and see the Weiß again. The only
thing he wanted was to go to that brown-eyed boy and jump on him and strip him
bare and throw him on the ground and pin him to the floor and fuck him dry and
devour him, chew him up, rip him up with his hands and teeth. And all the while those eyes would stare at
him and plead and cry and that soft pink curve of mouth would twist and scream
and beg in the most beautiful voice that no angel ever had.
Having
had Ken only the night before—flesh darkened by shadows and slick with sweat,
spread out on the expensive upholstery of the Mercedes—only made him more crazy
instead of sating the need in him. And lieb
Gott, the confusion, fear and remorse that screamed in the boy’s mind was
such a sweet psychic morsel. The little
pretty just withered under his condescending glare when Schuldig scolded him.
Oh
but it was fun to torment his klein Weiß.
Fun to watch him squirm under a hard glare, to threaten and always,
always keep Ken aware of the power Schuldig had over him. The power to tear his life open, reveal his
friends and fellow assassins, expose his secrets. Schuldig could remind Ken with a glance that he knew where they
lived, what they did, when they moved, and yet the Weiß did nothing about it—did
not tell his teammates—because they were fucking. No reason more complicated than that.
Ken
writhed equally under Schuldig’s hands and eyes, and for the Schwarz it was all
wonderful play—A game to which only Schuldig knew all of the rules.
Schuldig would never tell, though. Never tell Ken that he was only playing; that he would never betray his little assassin. Not and deprive himself of that beautiful, fragile hurt in Ken's eyes. It only made it sweeter when he had that hot, perfect body naked under him to know that Ken gave in and submitted to a man that held his life in one hand.
They
had one target that had been evading all of Omi’s best attempts at tracking for
almost a month. The target was a small
group of hackers that murdered wealthy men and women and then stole their identities
to commit financial crimes. They were
hard to find because they did most of their thievery online and, according to
Omi, used advanced software that kept even the young computer genius from
tracing their movements.
Then
one night Omi shouted and Aya went to see what the noise was about. Soon Aya appeared in Ken’s doorway, already
dressed in his long, black trench coat, and told him that Omi had tracked the
hackers’ movements. They were at that
moment holed up somewhere in a large skyscraper in Tokyo, using one of the many
computer bays in the building. Quickly,
Omi shouted as he ran down the hallway past Aya, they had to get there and work
quickly. These hackers worked fast and
then packed up and disappeared, never to return to the same computer. It was a “now or never” situation. Ken dressed fast and soon Aya was taking
turns on two wheels, speeding through the city.
Once
there they moved rapidly. Aya and Omi
headed for one likely floor, sent Yohji towards another one and sent Ken to yet
another. They split up and merged with
the shadows.
Ken
was up high, on the forty-sixth floor, and all alone there. He could sense it as soon as he stepped out
of the stairwell; the hackers were not on this floor. Still, he walked softly around the square-shaped hallway which
wrapped around the floor. As he had
expected, there were no hackers or even businessmen pulling late hours to be
found. He headed back towards the stairwell;
Omi had assigned him another floor to search before he checked in with the
others.
He
spun as he heard the slight noise of a small movement behind him. He spun,
crouched and drew his claws, squinting into the shadows of a large
office. Then he straightened and walked
into the room carefully checking around him, but he still was not ready to see
Schuldig standing by the window, illuminated only by the pale light of the
crescent moon.
Their
eyes met and locked for a long moment.
Then, Schuldig moved and took a step towards Ken. The mood of the room shifted, the danger Ken
was anticipating became that of a different kind. He retracted his claws but remained tense.
“These
guys finance some of Schwarz’s more unorthodox projects?” Ken asked coolly,
throwing a glance at the door in case one of Schuldig’s teammates were creeping
around.
Schuldig
gave a half-smile and walked over to close the door.
“Don’t
worry. There’s just me. I came looking for you.”
Ken’s
lips tightened in fear and apprehension.
Was he telling the truth; was Schuldig alone? Or was he distracting Ken from helping his friends who could even
now be battling Weiß’s negative image on another floor? Was this a trap, were the hackers even
here? Did Schuldig really come here in
search of Ken, or was he in league with the target?
“Mein
klein hübsch,” Schuldig said in mock scolding tones. “You doubt me so!”
Ken
swallowed through a tight throat and opened his mouth to speak but Schuldig was
so damn much faster than he and as soon as his pale hand touched Ken’s throat,
the Weiß lost all thoughts of missions and became focused on a different, more
immediate and much more enjoyable kind of danger.
They
kissed as if they would devour one another, the experience as painful as it was
intense. They bit at each other’s lips
and tongues even as they worked to draw one another’s souls out through their
mouths.
With
one dizzying touch of his mind, Schuldig whispered to Ken, I always lose
myself in your kisses, klein ein.
Soon,
Schuldig was working blindly at Ken’s belt without taking his lips away from
Ken’s mouth. Then Schuldig’s knuckles
were brushing the bare skin of his hips, and the red-haired man tugged Ken’s
underwear and jeans down to his knees.
Ken clumsily tried to reach down—lifting one leg—and pull his jeans and
boxers down over his boots. Schuldig
chuckled into Ken’s mouth and stepped back while Ken stripped them off.
Then
Schuldig pushed Ken roughly back onto the desk. Ken fell back, off balance, and put his arms behind him to steady
himself. Then Schuldig grabbed his left
knee and lifted his leg up over his shoulder.
Ken fell back but managed to get his elbows out to support his
weight. Schuldig stroked the flesh of
Ken’s inner thigh where it met the Schwarz’s chest, while, with his other hand,
he undid his own belt and zipper and pulled out his straining erection. Ken shivered and then cried out as Schuldig
thrust his hips forward and entered him all at once, not giving him a moment to
get used to the size of him. Ken cried
out again at the friction as Schuldig began to move, but even as it hurt him,
the tip of Schuldig’s cock hit deep inside his tight channel and triggered that
one spot that made him jump and thrust his hips up involuntarily with the
sudden shock of sensation.
“God,”
he moaned, then let out another long moan that contained no words. The pain of the way Schuldig so roughly took
him only added to Ken’s pleasure. There
was fire deep within his belly, his balls seized up and his cock lifted itself
erect in the V of space between their stomachs.
Schuldig
stroked him once but then fastened both his hands around Ken’s hips in an iron
grip. He worked his hips like a piston,
shoving Ken down as he pulled out and then pulling Ken’s hips up when he pushed
himself back in.
Ken
let himself go and moaned again and again, each of Schuldig’s thrusts pummeling
his g-spot even as his twisted psyche got off on the pain of each unlubricated
thrust.
Suddenly
his earpiece crackled. Aya’s voice
hissed over the line, calling Ken and Yohji down to the twenty-sixth
floor. They had found the hackers;
there were only six of them, but they were armed; help was both requested and
demanded.
Ken
reached up with a fumbling hand and tugged the piece out of his ear, not
watching it drop to the floor, but hearing the slight noise as it did.
Schuldig
laughed breathlessly, moving his right hand from Ken’s hip to wrap it around
the leg that was hooked over his shoulder.
He dug his nails into Ken’s leg and then turned to bite at the soft
flesh of his inner thigh. Ken winced
and let his head fall back, exposing the arch of his bare throat, his elbows
holding up all the weight of his sagging upper body.
There
was pain after the pleasure of the orgasm faded, and he bled a little. He pulled on his clothes, not looking at
Schuldig—not wanting to see the lazy, smug, pleasured way the Schwarz moved.
“What
are you going to tell your teammates, my little pretty?” Schuldig asked with a
smirk that seeped into his tone.
Ken
bent and picked up his earpiece from the floor and put it back in. Immediately, he heard Omi calling his name,
saying they were fine, they got the targets, all of them, and was he okay? Where was he?
“It
wasn’t working,” Ken said with a shrug as he moved to the door of the office,
ready to leave. He knew he would not be
so lucky as to be allowed to slink away without enduring Schuldig’s gloating.
“How
lovely it is for me,” the German said, “that you risk the lives of your friends
to stay here with me. I see the blood
in your thoughts, Ken, and you know that I would kill you if I had to. Yet you stay with me—under me—”
the Schwarz chuckled, “when your teammates cry for your help.”
They
could handle six guys without me, Ken thought even as other, better arguments popped
into his head, but he knew it was all rationalization. They both knew why he had stayed.
“Would
you really?” Ken asked, his hand on the door knob, his back to Schuldig. “Would you really kill me, if it came down
to that?”
He
waited for an answer. Then, receiving
none, he turned. The room was
empty. One long, wide panel of glass in
the row of windows on the wall opposite the door was open. A cool breeze blew in. Outside he saw the tip of a rope dangling
for a moment before it was yanked up out of sight. He turned around again and hurried out of the office, already
lifting a small communicator to his mouth and hailing his teammates.
