The Heat of Your Touch

AN: Ok, guys, here’s the next chapter. But, before you start to read, I’m gonna bug you for just a bit.
I hope you wouldn’t die of boredom while reading this. My mind is wandering somewhere else lately…I would be very happy if you liked this.
Once again, I wanna thank all my faithful readers and reviewers for reading and reviewing. Also, I wanna thank the new ones. All of you give me ideas and support that I need the most. Special thanks to Melodyz07, KiraRaven, Cody_Thomas, who have been reviewing since the beginning. I apologize if I misspelled your names. And I apologize to ones I accidentally forgot to mention, but I will in one of the next chapters.
Let’s skip this pathetic shit…
Ok, I’ve been obsessed lately with Enigma-great band, isn’t it? To ones who have never listened to it, I recommend from the depth of my heart. Especially the songs I named below and in the previous chapter (and maybe I’ll mention some others in the following chapters).

Please R&R!!! :)

It was strange…every time Kaiba touched him, it felt like he set the fire inside him.

But still, Kaiba’s touch was cold. His palms were cold. His eyes were cold. Yet he was warm. All of him, every inch of his body was radiating warmth. Heat, even.

The CEO was sleeping peacefully beside him. Joey could hear his even breathing, could feel the light cinnamon scent around them, could stare at his lover for hours in total awe.

But something’s changed. He had to face with his loss.

That job was everything that he had. Kaiba made him sell his apartment, so Dan would be in the dead end.

Yet, Joey considered it would be smarter if they didn’t sell it, because Dan would know for sure now where Joey was living. Kaiba was def for his advices.

Now he didn’t even have the job, the only ray of light when it came to his father.

All for nothing. He knew Kaiba could think up something better. His IQ was over 180. It surprised Joey how he couldn’t think up something more intelligent.

And yet, he could always say that Kaiba actually didn’t care, that his word always had to be the last one, that he was one dominatrix bastard and so on. It would be easier to attach those things to Kaiba’s image, than to think that Kaiba might be scared, so he couldn’t think properly.

So, in fact, Joey’s sacrifice was unnecessary. And it was pissing him off. He was mad at Kaiba because of that. It was just the matter of time when he’d spit everything he meant and didn’t mean in that beautiful face of his lover.

They weren’t sleeping hugged that night. Joey turned his back to Seto. But as soon as Seto fell asleep, Joey turned around, to stare at him. When he was sleepless, he was always staring at the sleeping image of his boyfriend.

Deep inside, Kaiba knew that the storm was approaching. He was pretending he was asleep. The truth was that he couldn’t sleep for days. He knew that his decisions were so wrong, so stupid, but he couldn’t crash the image of the almighty billionaire that never makes mistakes, just because of that.

Yet, he knew that it was too dangerous for them to stay in Domino. He thought if Joey quit the job, everything would be fine. But that move with the apartment was wrong. He realized it too late. If only Dan wasn’t so damn good hacker…

“Joey?” he could feel his gaze on his back.

Joey blinked in surprise. He thought that his lover was sound asleep.

“Y-yeah?” he whispered back. Kaiba turned to look at him.

“You’re like this for days. What’s happening?”

“Nothing” Joey said calmly, but Kaiba could detect bitterness in his voice.

He caressed his cheek. “I know how hard it is for you now. I know how the job was valuable to you.”

“Oh,” Joey shoved his hand, ”no, you don’t.” he snorted, “That sacrifice was totally unnecessary.”

“What? Are we gonna discuss this for a hundredth time, Joseph?” he sharpened his voice in defense.

“What’s the purpose of this all, when your word must remain the last one? You never let me express my opinion.” he stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. He lit up the cigarette. He was nervous. He was desperate.

“I don’t want to argue with you.” Kaiba was trying to keep the things smooth. He crawled to Joey’s back. He kneeled behind him, holding his arms while kissing his right shoulder seductively.

“Stop it, Seto.”

But Seto continued kissing his shoulder, moving up to his neck. Joey closed his eyes, bit his lower lip. He enjoyed, but he was angry. No, Seto wouldn’t make him shut up that way. Joey wouldn’t let him.

“Why can’t you accept that you made a mistake?” Kaiba stopped kissing his shoulder. “Swallow your damn pride and take it like a man!”

Kaiba got up from the bed, facing Joey, who was still smoking.

“Like you’d know better!” he was lacking words for the first time.

“What? You’re afraid that the image of perfect Kaiba Seto would shatter in front of your eyes?”

“Shut up already!”

“Oh, the truth always hurts you, Seto?”

“You know nothing about me!”

“I am your lover for two years! I know everything about you!”

“Don’t pretend smart, Joseph.” he was shaking his index finger in threat. “You have no idea…”

“Just fuck you! I’ve lost everything I had, because of your bad calculation! I have nothing. I’m living here, feeling like parasite!”

“Well, too bad you feel that way, then. Maybe I could pay you a shrink.”

“Are you making fun of me?”

“Oh, no, not at all!”

“Fuck you and your damn sarcasm! No wonder no one ever loved you!”

“I’ve warned you…” Kaiba was ready to punch him.

“They all dumped you, only I had balls to deal with you for so long! You should be flattered!”

“Flattered? For being with the mutt such as yourself?”

At that, Joey jumped on him, making them fall on the floor.

“I sacrificed…for nothing…” he was hissing, but he didn’t dare to hit his lover. He just didn’t have heart to do that. “Why didn’t you?”

“I have been sacrificing all my life. I have nothing to give anymore. Nothing to sacrifice…” Kaiba closed his eyes.

He recalled all those horrible years under Gozaburo’s supervision. All those torments, everything he had ever done to protect his brother. He did everything in order for him to be happy. He froze his heart. He died.

Joey knew very well that part of Kaiba’s life. It had been revealed during the Battle City tournament. He asked no questions about it. He knew it would be too uncomfortable. He knew it would be too painful.

So he released Kaiba’s body. He stood up and sat on the king sized bed again.

Joey’s words hit him so badly. He could feel their venom in his organism. Maybe no one ever loved him…But did Joey love him? Or it was all a dream?

“Seto…” Joey’s head was lowered, “I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to…I…oh…” he was so confused.
“I think we should separate for a while.”

“What?!” Joey stared at him in disbelief. “B-but…”

“No, Joey. No buts.” said Kaiba coldly.

“I’ve always been a mutt which you could drop whenever you felt like dropping.” Joey was mad, “But you chose the wrong mutt to fuck with.” he jumped to the floor, crashing on Kaiba again.

He violently slid his tongue into the brunette’s mouth, forcing the tongue of another to respond. The kiss was deep, intense, painful.

“Take it easy, pup…” Kaiba was looking at him. His eyes were cheerful. “That would be the move that would lead Dan to the wrong trace.”

“Huh?” Joey was looking at him in confusion.

“You just gave me an idea.” Kaiba was stroking his hair, “We will say to the public we broke up. So Dan would think we don’t live together. I’ll buy you apartment…”

“No! I don’t want you to buy me anything!...” Joey’s pride was restless.

“Wait until I finish…” Kaiba covered the blonde’s mouth with his skinny hand.

“Nobody would know about it…We would be separated for a while, but as soon as my men attach something nasty to Dan, and he ends up in prison, you can have your job back, and you will return to me.” he released Joey’s mouth.

“I don’t think I could handle another separation…” he admitted, yet his voice was barely hearable.

Kaiba kissed his nose. The storm was gone. It all magically vanished. It vanished because it wasn’t the problem between him and Joey. It was Dan that made them nervous, that made them argue lately.

Kaiba knew Joey didn’t mean what he said. It was all because of anger. They stopped thinking properly. They had to get rid of Dan, that obsessed maniac.

Of course, if they got rid of him, it didn’t mean that the problems they were having beyond that shit with the said maniac, would disappear.

There was a lot to do in order for them to be happy together.

And Kaiba was capable of waiting patiently until the time all the pieces of puzzle come to their places.
He would propose Joey. He would make him happy. He would make others happy. He would place him and Mokuba before himself, like always.

Was Joey aware of Kaiba’s sacrifice?

“Seto…forgive me for the words I said…” Joey was still on top of him, on the floor.

“Please don’t let your heart sink…” Kaiba whispered, “There’s nothing to forgive.”

“I didn’t mean them…” the feeling of guilt was eating him from inside.

“Me neither…” Joey’s lips met with Kaiba’s.

“I…I just can’t stand it anymore…how many things have to be in our way?” Joey’s head collapsed on Kaiba’s chest.

“My death if we don’t get up from this cold floor. My kidneys are starting to hurt.”

“Oh, sorry!” Joey immediately stood up, extending his arm to his lover.

‘Do you know how much I love you?’ he thought, while watching the brunette. His lungs were so full of air, his heart full of love. ‘Do you know I’d die for you?’ he was laughing mentally at his pathetic thoughts.

---

The next day was the ultimate step to their separation. Kaiba already had his men bought the apartment with the best security system.

They were all sitting in the dining room in silence. Mokuba left them alone as soon as he ate his meal.

He knew something was badly wrong, and he knew his brother was suffering. He had to find a way to help the couple. But he knew Kaiba wouldn’t listen. Maybe it would be the best not to interfere.

But he couldn’t look at their expressionless faces.

Unable to help, he was feeling like a trash. If only his hands weren’t tied in that case. If only he could find a way…

---

“You will leave tonight. Incognito.” his voice was determined as always.

“A man of action” Joey chuckled.

Kaiba smiled at that remark.

“I was dueling with Mokuba this morning.”

Kaiba smiled again.

“So you two get along at last.”

“Let’s just say we improved our relations.”

“That’s good.” Kaiba took Joey’s hand into his. “At least something good.” he muttered.

Joey couldn’t help but notice shadows in those blue eyes. They were unhappy.

What could he give to his beloved? He’d give his life just for one his smile.

“I let him win.”

“Oh, God! You shouldn’t! He must learn on his mistakes! When he grows up, who would let him pass through life, without effort? He has to learn…”

“Oh, take it easy, man…” Joey tapped his shoulder, “I’ll make him sway the next time, I promise!”

Kaiba kissed his hand.

“I’ll do it right now, actually! Mok...” but Kaiba didn’t let him finish.

“I have other plans for you…”

“Does it involve sex?” Joey grinned devilishly.

“Maybe…” Kaiba made mystical face expression.

Chains were clinking on the floor, wrists and ankles in tight fittings. Arms above his head, his legs spread to the point of pain.

A head between his legs, moving up and down, while the bind body was sighing in ecstasy, all tensed and sweaty. He was moaning and panting, unable to control himself, screaming out loud his lover’s name way too many times.

The youth between his legs was satisfied he made his lover feel so hot. His own length started to twitch and ache, desperate to be touched and stroked. It was hard like a rock and the blonde’s moans and screams weren’t helping.
The whole afternoon they spent in the bedroom. There was quiet music mixed with heavy breathing.

-The Principles Of Lust- and later, -Beyond The Invisible-.

There was no air.

There was nothing, only fire.

Slender fingers were wandering all over Joey’s body and the well manicured nails dug into his hips as Joey climaxed like never before.

Kaiba swallowed it greedily as always, enjoying in the last twitches of Joey’s body.

He gave the blonde the best orgasm ever.

Kaiba himself was in chains as well. A very little light, enough just to illuminate two entangled silhouettes.

Dark and dirty wishes could be seen clearly in his eyes and Joey was taking them with such delight into his own fantasies.

“Touch me…” Kaiba groaned as Joey kneeled before him, still panting. His fingers were dancing in Kaiba’s dry and hot mouth back and forth, left and right, as the blue eyes were firmly shut.

Joey pulled out his fingers, sliding them down Kaiba’s chest, slowly. He was leaving traces of saliva down that beautiful body. The saliva disappeared very fast. Kaiba’s body was too hot. Kaiba lied down on the floor, letting Joey’s lips tease the skin around his navel.

The wet tongue was moving in concentric circles around the navel, ending up in it.

Kaiba was shivering. He was in fever.

His lower lip was shaking, as he was expecting Joey’s next move.

Joey encircled the long and hard cock, sucking on it slowly, teasing the CEO on purpose.

His breathing became uneven and fast, uncontrollable heartbeats were driving him insane.

“Joey…” he groaned again, unable to open his eyes.

He melted into pleasure that Joey was giving him, as the man swallowed every drop of his semen. Joey didn’t bother to wipe the remains of it around his mouth. He bent down and a skillful tongue of the young CEO licked it off.

“I love your perversions.” Joey grinned as he whispered.

“The feeling is mutual.” Kaiba whispered back.

They started to laugh and Joey collapsed on Kaiba. His muscles started to ache because of the laughter.

And then, Kaiba felt, that wasn’t laughter anymore.

Joey’s body wasn’t shaking because of it. They were sobs.

“Calm down, it’s alright…” he whispered, running his fingers through the mop of blond hair.

“Nothing is alright…”

“It will be…”

“Will it?”

“…”

Kaiba could feel his own tears run down his cheeks, but he remained still. He didn’t want Joey to see them. He just pressed the guy tighter.

---

“Well, this is goodbye…”

“We’ll be in touch by our cell phones, Joey.”

“Ok…” the blonde duelist lowered his head.

Kaiba hugged him and quickly whispered something in his ear.

“I’m gonna miss you, puppy.” then he pushed him energetically to the car.

AN: I am under impression of anime Ai no Kusabi-chains and all…Oh, God! You, who have never watched it, I recommend to watch! And that blowjob Kaiba gave Joey, it’s based on the one Iason gave Riki in Ai no Kusabi OVA 2.
