He stands, pulling me into his arms and holding me tight. “I hope you will let me be a part of your life,” he murmurs.
“I’ve always wanted a brother,” I say as we break apart.
“Is everything okay?”
I turn and see Kai standing in the doorway, frowning.
“Everything is perfect.” I smile. “Don’t you think Callum?”
“I couldn’t have asked for today to be any better, no.” He smiles down at me.
One Year Later
“You gotblood on my shirt. Now that wasn’t very nice, was it Kenji?” I tsk my tongue at the man.
“I didn’t…”
Before he can keep his sniveling bullshit, I land another punch to his face, loving the pain that ricochets through my fist as his bones crack.
Turning to Kenji, I smile.
He shakes his head at me, a bored look on his face. “She’s going to kill you if you don’t hurry.”
“Nah, she loves my cock too much.”
He snorts. “You’re brave to risk her wrath.”
He’s not wrong.
My innocent little princess has blossomed. She is full queen now.
Ruthless queen.
At least, when it comes to business. She still has the softer side to her. The one that reminds me of the girl I fell in love with. The one who grew into the woman I am irrevocably enamored with.
“I’ll be fine. I have time.”
Before I can turn back to the man, the door slides open and I cringe.
Maybe I didn’t have time.
“Haruaki, what do you think you are doing?”
I turn with a charming smile on my face.
“Handling a little business, baby. I’m almost done.”
She huffs, her arms across her chest. “I told you not to bother with this today. I need you to actually be on time and looking decent for once. Not covered in blood.”
“Come on, princess. You love when I’m covered in blood.”
A flash of heat flashes through her eyes. “We have an hour before the ceremony. Put some needles under his nails, leave a guard with him to witness his pain, then get your ass on your bike and get home. If you are even one minute late, I’m going to skin you alive. Understood?”
My dick twitches in my pants. I fucking love this part of her. She doesn’t really enjoy being a part of the torture, but she has had fun coming up with new techniques to get information when needed.
I walk closer to her, leaning in to press a kiss to her lips without touching her with my bloodied hands.
“How about you give me two minutes and we can ride together?”
