“Oh God,
Ryo,” Dee panted as he pounded Ryo’s sinuous body against the sheets, his
partner’s smooth flesh creating a delicious heated friction against his skin as
the raven-haired man pressed further into the enticingly hot body writhing
underneath him and ran his fingertips across the contours of Ryo’s strong arms.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Ryo’s beautiful dark eyes were closed and his
head was thrown back, his bruised lips parting as a long, low moan escaped from
his throat and strands of his honey blond hair clung to his deeply flushed
cheeks. Glistening sweat adorned his
body as he shuddered and began to tremble, lost in pure ecstasy as
in a deep, heated kiss and brought his hand down between their joined bodies to
stroke Ryo’s aching length as he continued to thrust into him.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>

passion-darkened eyes locked onto Dee’s.

beautiful Ryo. He gazed into Ryo’s
expressive eyes and felt the honey blond’s powerful muscles clenching and
releasing in spasms around his painfully swollen cock.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
breath that escaped Ryo’s lips as he tasted his heavenly lover, hungrily thrusting
his tongue inside as it wrapped around Ryo’s.
He was so close to attaining euphoria…
A shrill
ringing sound caused
to gasp as he was brought back into reality.
He sat up quickly, his heart pounding in his chest, and struggled to
open his deep green eyes as he blindly groped for the phone on the endtable
next to the couch. His body was drenched
in sweat, his damp shirt clinging to every contour of his sleekly muscular
frame, as he pushed strands of his tousled raven hair out of his sleep-laden
eyes. Dee muttered a stream of vengeful
curses at the unknown caller as images of the erotic dream of him and Ryo
fucking came flooding back to him and only seemed to fuel the arousal throbbing
between his legs.
“Laytner
here,” he growled into the phone as he shifted uncomfortably underneath the
blanket.
“Well, so
nice of you to finally answer,” Commissioner Berkley Rose’s grating voice came
over the line. “I was beginning to think
that you two had forgotten that you had to work today.”
“What the
hell do you want?”
questioned irritably, his anger causing the pleasant images of the dream to
dissipate as he lit a cigarette to calm his nerves.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Ryo and I don’t start work until second

not wanting to wake his partner, who was still asleep in the bedroom.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Rose had such
bad timing. If only he could have waited
a few more minutes…
“Well, I’m
so sorry to have to inform you that
one of you will have to come in early,” Rose said sarcastically.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “But there is some paperwork for one of your
cases that absolutely must be completed by this afternoon.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> It’s the multiple rape case that is ready to
go to trial, and the DA’s office wants to look over all of the evidence to make
sure that we’ve got an airtight testimony.
It’s very important that everything is in order so that we can put this
monster behind bars. Since you tend to
be lacking in the organizational department, I’d like to speak with Ryo about
finishing up the paperwork,” Rose purred smoothly.
“Not a
chance,”
I’d really let him stay in a room alone with you, you sly fox.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Ryo’s still asleep and he’s had a long
night. He could use a break.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I’ll come in and wrap up the case.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> You can talk to Ryo about the rest of the
details when he comes in for his scheduled shift if you need to clarify
anything.”
“Very
well,” the Commissioner said brusquely. style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Damn, he thwarted my chance to be alone with
sweet, temptingly naïve Ryo once again.
“I’ll see you in half an hour, Detective.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> The files will be on your desk.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Don’t be late.”

there,”

honey hair framing his handsome face as his bare chest rose and fell with each
contented breath that he took. Ryo

Ryo’s

bathroom door as he bit his lower lip nervously and pulled the covers up around
his sleek frame. He really wanted to

open. He could hear

David
strode confidently into the 27th precinct, flashing a coy smile at
the receptionist working the front desk, his handsome features both inviting
and unassuming at the same time. He
effortlessly navigated his way through the various corridors as he made his way
up to the fourth floor. “Right on time,”
he murmured satisfactorily as he glanced at his watch before pushing open the
office door that read Laytner/MacLean.
David
stopped in his tracks at the vision of the man standing in front of him.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Ryo was impeccably dressed in a pair of black
dress pants and an olive-green button-down oxford shirt, his suit jacket draped
over the back of his chair. Gorgeous
dark eyes fleetingly met his as the door to the office closed behind him, Ryo
glancing away as he concentrated on his phone conversation.
Ryo
lowered his eyes demurely and turned away, blushing under the intensity of the
raven-haired man’s stare. He was glad
that he had a temporary distraction, even if it was the Commissioner calling
about a missing case file.

undressing him with his eyes. Ryo
glanced up at

blond’s body as he averted his eyes from the chilling green ones belonging to
the man in front of him.
“Ryo,”
David whispered huskily as Ryo finished his conversation and put the phone down
with an unsteady hand. He moved closer
to the dark-eyed honey blond, placing his hands against the desk on either side
of Ryo’s waist and effectively trapping him, Ryo’s back pressed against the
desk as he gave an involuntary shiver.
Why did
Ryo feel as if something was wrong?

softly, hesitantly. “Are we okay after
last night?” He lifted his beautiful
dark eyes up to meet striking green ones.
David
smiled, knowing the pain that the shy detective must surely be going through at
having to broach the delicate topic of conversation.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He wanted to exploit Ryo’s feelings of
uncertainty and mistrust to their fullest.
“It depends. How are you going to
make it up to me?” he purred suggestively, his lips mere inches away from Ryo’s
trembling lower lip as he brushed a strand of honey hair that obscured Ryo’s
eyes away from his face.
Ryo’s eyes
narrowed, and he angrily pushed
belying his true feelings. “Are you
implying that what happened last night was my fault?” Ryo asked, his voice
rising as he moved away from

game you’re playing by keeping me in the dark is getting you nowhere?style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I thought that you respected me more than
this.”
David
smiled, loving the way Ryo’s face was flushing in exasperation as the gorgeous
man stared at him and waited on edge for an answer.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Oh, I do respect you… in bed.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I respect your firm body and your tight ass,”
David said snidely, his voice lowering dangerously as he snaked his arms around
Ryo’s waist and cupped Ryo’s ass hard, squeezing it roughly and causing the
shorter detective to gasp in surprise.
Ryo
blushed furiously as he struggled within the confining grip, twisting to get
away. He reached for a file on the desk
behind him and pushed it against the taller man’s chest.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Something was really wrong with
physically threatening before. Was
of affection outside of their bedroom?
Maybe the issue ran deeper than Ryo had initially thought.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “D-Dee!” Ryo
faltered, hurt and upset. “I-I told you
that I need more time with our relationship.
You said that you understood.
Please, let’s just talk about this at home.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> We have work to
do.”
Seeing the
confusion present within Ryo’s dark depths, David reluctantly let him out of
his grip and took the file that Ryo had thrust at him.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He sat down at
for today. He was pleased to see that
the shy Ryo had a fire to him, which would make this all the more fun.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Having effectively ensured that Ryo would no
longer be talking to him for today, he began to search through the police
database for the collateral that he needed to tarnish

Ryo stood
frozen in shock for a moment before sitting down somewhat gingerly in his chair
and gathering some files. First
night out to be his fault, and now he was sitting at his desk, diligently doing
his work without a single complaint. Not
to mention that he had been acting blatantly predatory towards Ryo, something
that they had previously discussed needed to be toned down at the office.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Maybe this had something to do with the long
hours that

straighter in his chair and adjusted his tie around his neck.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> The honey blond subconsciously followed the
motion, noticing that

Ryo’s entire wardrobe. Ryo pushed it to
the back of his mind.

hands froze and he glanced up to look into obsidian pools before smiling
broadly. “Just
cleaning up around here, getting rid of old duplicate copies of cases that have
already been filed. It’ll make it
easier to work if there’s less of a mess,” he said practically, as if he was
used to straightening up his desk everyday.
“Oh,” Ryo
murmured, almost apologetically. Maybe

this case file to Commissioner Rose?
It’s the one that you’ve been looking for all day, and he’ll be glad to
have it. He talked to me on the phone
earlier about it. It’s very important
that he receives it.”
David
flashed a predatory smile at Ryo, his green eyes gleaming as he saved his work
and turned off the computer. He had
gotten what he came for, for now at least.
Walking over to the honey-blond’s desk, he casually brushed his
fingertips across Ryo’s hand, tracing his finger around Ryo’s ring possessively
before taking the file. “Oh, I’ll make
sure he gets it,” he said suggestively, loving the submissive blush that burned
upon Ryo’s handsome features from the intensity burning within his emerald
gaze. The man really did have a body to
die for. David wondered just how far
down Ryo’s beautiful blush extended. He
couldn’t wait to find out.
David
winked reassuringly at Ryo, exiting the precinct still holding the file.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He tossed it nonchalantly into a dumpster as
he made his way towards his car, James already standing on the sidewalk and
