David Turner collapsed onto his bed, relieved to be home. The suitcase he had wheeled into the spacious room had been abandoned near the door. He yanked off the elastic band binding his ponytail and snapped it toward his lover in the doorway.
Kiyoshi stopped in his tracks when the elastic zinged past his ear and into the hall. "Sensei's aim is off this evening," he said, grabbing the handle of David's suitcase to wheel it and his own to the bed.
"If my aim were off it would have hit you in the face," David said with a smile. "Leave the suitcases, Kitten. It's late; you can unpack in the morning."
Kiyoshi dragged the luggage to his side of the king-sized bed and set them beside it neatly. His hands went to his hips. Long, scarlet-painted nails tapped an annoyed rhythm on his wide leather belt. "You know I don't like leaving things undone, Sensei. I won't sleep a wink knowing things aren't put away properly."
David laughed softly. "You're going to bug me about this until you get your way, aren’t you?"
"Of course I am." Kiyoshi kicked his snakeskin stilettos off, hitched his black leather skirt up past his knees, and then knelt down next to the bed. Long, wavy blond hair was tossed over one shoulder, fingers lacing together over a flat belly. Kiyoshi bowed his head. "If it pleases Sensei, I would like to unpack our luggage now and put things in order." Dark hazel eyes looked up under giraffe-like black lashes. Kiyoshi's smile was nothing short of well practiced coquettish.
Not that David would admit it aloud, but he knew he didn't stand a chance. He leaned up on one elbow, turning to face Kiyoshi. "There is nothing about you that doesn't please me." David placed a light kiss on Kiyoshi's full mouth, and then brushed his own lips with his thumb. Red lipstick stained his skin, and he rubbed it into oblivion between his thumb and forefinger. "Remove your makeup and your clothes before you start buzzing about. I'll check messages, and then I need a hot soak. Join me when you're finished?"
Kiyoshi nodded then placed a small, sweet kiss on David's cheek. The lipstick mark David knew was left behind put a pleased smile on Kiyoshi's pretty face. |
