CHAPTER SIX

Rico

S hopping had worn Anurak slap out. Once he’d gotten comfortable with shopping and began to realize he liked certain things and not others, it turned into a very fun outing for him. And after we’d spent a god-awful amount of money, I took him to eat some Chinese food at the little restaurant inside the mall. By the time I’d gotten him back to the car and all of our things in the trunk, he was out cold, his lips slightly parted, soft snores leaving his lips. He hadn’t even managed to buckle himself in before he’d passed out.

I eased the car to a stop outside my house and shifted it into park before easing out of the car and walking around to his side. Bento and Niran began gathering his bags out of the car as I opened the passenger door and leaned in, unbuckling Anurak’s seatbelt. He jerked awake, his wild, panicked eyes meeting mine. I cupped his cheek, keeping my eyes locked on his until he took a deep breath, relaxing and leaning his face into my touch.

“You okay now, perrito ?” I gently asked. I hated that he still woke up in fear. I knew that would take time. It’d taken me years to come out of survival mode. I knew it would take him just as long, if not longer.

He nodded. “You scared me.”

I stroked my thumb over his cheek. “You’re always safe with me,” I gently reminded him. “I’ll never let anyone hurt you ever again.”

A dopey, adorable smile tilted his lips, and he turned his head, pressing a kiss to my palm. My heart shot up into my throat at the sweet kiss. He wrapped his fingers around my wrist and lowered my hand before turning to angle out of the car. I removed my wrist from his grasp, but before he could truly begin to miss the loss, I laced our fingers together and led him up to the house.

“I need to touch base with Alfonzo for a few minutes. Do you want to go upstairs to bed, watch TV in the living room, or sit in my office?” I asked him.

He looked up at me. “Where will you be?”

I nodded in the direction of my office. “In my office.”

He smiled, his fingers tightening around mine. “I want to be where you will be.”

I gently squeezed his hand before leading him in the direction of my office. He took a seat on the couch, and I handed him my personal phone so he could watch his show, then I took a seat behind my desk, using my burner to call Alfonzo.

“Need you in my office,” I told him when he answered.

He grunted and ended the call without a single word. I set my phone down and booted up my laptop so I could add another line to my phone plan and get a phone for Anurak. Alfonzo popped into my office just as I was finishing up submitting the order. He glanced at Anurak, then at me. When I nodded for him to enter, he shrugged one shoulder and stepped in, shutting the door behind him and dropping into one of the chairs across from my desk.

“What’s up?” he asked, leaning back and slouching a little. He rested his elbows on the arms of the chair and laced his fingers together over his stomach.

“Jax called in a favor.” I relayed the details. “Think you can handle it?”

Alfonzo nodded. “Yeah. He paying anything for this?”

I shook my head. “I told him no because he’s family.” Alfonzo nodded in agreement. “But he’ll probably still try to give something anyway. Up to you if you take it. If you do, pocket it. I don’t want it.”

He snorted. “He’s still stuck on that shit of owing people?”

I sighed. “You know how he is.”

Alfonzo nodded and stood. “We done here? I need to make phone calls and get shit arranged.”

I waved him off. “Yeah, we’re done here.”

He waved at Anurak on his way out, who blushed and shyly waved back. When the door shut back behind Alfonzo, Anurak turned his head to look at me, setting my phone down by his cheek. I pushed back from the desk some and patted my lap. I’d expected him to hesitate, but he quickly got up, my phone left abandoned, and rushed to me so fast, he tripped and almost fell. I quickly caught him and lifted him, settling him on my lap.

“You need to be more careful, perrito ,” I gently scolded.

He flushed. “Sorry.” Cupping my neck with his warm, soft palms, he smiled at me. “I had fun today.”

The smile I gave him in return was easy, and I wrapped my arm around his slim body. “I’m glad you did. We need to get upstairs and unpack your things so we can wash them and put them away.” I had a contract waiting for me to look over, but it could wait. Everything could wait for my little pup.

“Okay.” He leaned in and kissed my cheek—right by the corner of my mouth. My heart slammed against my chest bone, and my cock thickened to half-mast. And when my little puppy shyly pressed his sweet mouth to mine, I was a fucking goner.

I quickly took control of the kiss, coaxing his lips apart and gently thrusting my tongue into his mouth. He whimpered, rocking against me, his hips frantically moving and seeking friction. I groaned. He was so goddamn needy. What would he be like when I got him beneath me?

“I need—” He whimpered, his nails biting into my neck. “Please. Please. I need—I want?—”

I’d fucking give him anything when he begged like that.

I unsnapped his jeans and freed his hard cock, squeezing him in my fist. His jaw went slack, and he nodded, whimpering as he leaned forward to kiss me again. I groaned and began working him in my fist. It wasn’t smooth. There was no lube, so it was difficult to slide my fist up and down his shaft, but he didn’t seem to care. He just thrust into my fist with wild abandonment, his mouth slack and needy little whimpers spilling from his lips.

He was so perfect .

“Yes, right there. Please don’t stop. It feels so good.” A broken sob tumbled from his mouth, and I gripped his hair with my free hand, yanking his head back so I had access to his long, slender throat. He shivered when I began sucking at his skin, leaving my mark on his neck for the world to see. “I’m gonna—I’m so close. Please, Rico. Please .”

I nipped at that same mark, and he shattered, his cum soaking my fist as he trembled in my arms. I kissed him softer this time, cuddling him to my chest as he slowly came down from the cloud I’d put him on.

“Better, perrito ?” I murmured.

He nodded, resting his head on my shoulder and tucking his face into my neck. “That was so good,” he whispered, his voice already thick with sleep. I imagined it was the first orgasm he’d gotten that was truly his . One he wanted and yearned for.

And I was the lucky son of a bitch who got to give it to him.

I chuckled and clutched Anurak a little closer, desperately trying to ignore my own erection throbbing in my pants. My sweet puppy was taken care of and sated. That was all I gave a fuck about. I could take care of myself later.
