— EIGHT —
King Breck:
What’s good, Kai
Kai:
Your majesty. How’s the kingdom?
King Breck:
Great. Wine’s plentiful and my
faithful subjects vast.
Kai:
Such splendor.
King Breck:
Yup, most days it’s pretty sweet.
Kai:
So what can I do for you?
King Breck:
Was thinking about taking you
up on your offer.
Kai:
Regarding The District?
King Breck:
Yeah, if the invite still stands.
Kai:
It does indeed.
King Breck:
Nice. When you want me?
Kai:
That’s a loaded question.
King Breck:
I’m all ears.
Kai:
My last class ends at 8.
King Breck:
I’ll be there at 8:15.
Kai smiled as he closed Breck’s text, eyed the time, then dropped his phone back into the drawer of his dojang’s reception counter. 2:02 PM. Another class, ready to begin.
He glanced at those congregated on the mats. He’d already taught several qigong sessions, and this would be his second tai chi class of the day—both forms of Eastern meditation. The remainder of his docket, however, would be taekwondo.
Greeting the last few stragglers with a genial bow, he made his way to the center of the huge floor mat and addressed his attendees. “Good afternoon.” Another bow. “It’s good to see you again. Let’s begin.”
Six hours later and he’d tackled four more classes, as well as taken a dinner break, during which he’d jumped onto one of Dom District’s many apparel websites. It hadn’t taken long to order some gear for Breck. He’d known what he wanted before even logging on.
Finding someone to deliver the stuff, however, had been a little more time consuming. Ultimately, he’d managed to pull some strings, and it’d been delivered within the hour—gift wrapped and ready to go, just as he’d requested.
Locking things up, he scaled the stairs to his apartment, ditched his dobok, and headed for his bathroom to grab a quick shower.
Breck would be there soon.
Anticipation thrummed through his body as he cranked on the water and stepped under the hot spray. In truth, a part of him was still surprised that Breck was actually coming. Or rather, that he’d taken Kai up on his invite to Dom District.
Although, in another sense, he supposed he wasn’t surprised at all. Breck could be bold when he wanted to be—just as he’d exhibited several times, as of late.
Which impressed Kai, if he were being honest. Sure, the guy was still haughty at times, and yes, he was frequently immature, but he also had an open mind and was always adventurous, facing off with new challenges like no one Kai had ever known.
So, yes, when Breck wasn’t absurdly drunk, or perched on his high-and-mighty arrogant throne, he was actually proving, for all intents and purposes, to be a pretty fun guy. And the reason why Kai had invited him to go to Dom District. He’d felt confident that Breck was up for it. Meaning not only could he handle it, but might also have a really good time.
He’d fit in well with the community. Seemed to resonate with a lot of the things they enjoyed. Kai merely had to ease him into it at a practical pace. Which was doable in Kai’s opinion. He’d be at Breck’s side the entire time. Introducing things and explaining the mindset as he led the way.
Hair thoroughly washed, he rinsed and added conditioner, then sudsed up his body, reflecting back on the night before. Not just the playing though, and incredible sex—in truth, it’d been ages since he’d had so much fun—but also the moments following, when he’d treated Breck to aftercare. All that slow, sensuous pampering and massaging. Not to mention what transpired after.
Breck’s unexpected kiss.
Kai’s hands glided over his torso, his fingers delving through thick, rich, silky suds. Grazing his nipples, making them instantly pebble, then moving lower.
That kiss.
That he hadn’t seen it coming just made it that much hotter. Breck’s eager lips and hungry tongue... Kai’s dick firmed at the memory. He closed his eyes, reliving the moment inside the privacy of his mind. He hadn’t been kissed like that in a very long time.
Not even with Ryan.
Such earnest abandon. As if Breck had been giving part of himself that he rarely gave. And honestly, that would’ve made two of them. Which not only had spiked things higher, but had Kai seriously considering going another round. But not with Breck bound and contained like before. With him flat on his back in Kai’s platform bed. With Kai taking him, repeatedly, deeply, as they continued with that kiss.
Kai’s hand slid lower to suds his hardening shaft, his fingers moving slowly as the memory played on. Breck’s body against his, still damp with sweat, had been intoxicating. Breck would unquestionably make an amazing lover. Would keep Kai very satisfied in the sheets.
Which, incidentally, was the very reason he’d finally ended their kiss. He couldn’t think of Breck like that. He’d get attached. And then his impetuous heart would want a say, which was a bad idea all around.
Sighing, he resumed washing his body. He didn’t like feeling torn. Or the fact that a very real part of him wanted to see where this might go. Breck was into him, showing the signs. Problem was, that wasn’t enough. Not with Breck’s mindset and unique situation. That he was attracted to Kai did not mean he’d make concessions. Especially where his life goals were concerned. God knew, Ryan certainly hadn’t. Kai refused to be another man’s side gig ever again.
