“The Back yard….” Otogi mumbled, watching Ryou lead the way after handing his puppy to the confused butler. But Otogi had to smile when they reached the back yard. The Gardenia’s were in full bloom, and the scent hung thickly over the yard, with the magnolias and the jasmine and the roses…

Otogi sighed and smiled as he watched Ryou go to a particularly flowering gardenia bush and bury his face in it before going to the reflecting pond that was now home to koi and water lilies. Yes, Ryou had found his inner landscaper when he got Otogi’s permission to redo his grounds. He followed Ryou to the gazebo that was surrounded in gardenia bushes and magnolia trees and was covered in jasmine. Ryou stepped into it and turned to watch Otogi following him. He smiled as the Dice Master took him into his arms and swayed gently back and forth.

“I love you…” Otogi murmured, and Ryou smiled.

“I know. I love you too. Don’t think about Nakazawa tonight. We’ll get through this.”

“With you beside me, I could fight off the armies of the United States.” Otogi said, and Ryou giggled.

“Please don’t.” Ryou said.

“Okay. I don’t have any desire to take on the Armies of the U.S. All I want, is to kiss you…” And he gently kissed his lover.

In the bushes, Kinomori irritably ripped a gardenia off of its bush, since it kept getting in the way, and set up his camera, zooming in on the two boys kissing in the gazebo. He grunted, disgusted. He found it to be foul and unacceptable. He snorted and looked away, not wanting to watch, but he had been told to film an unusual behavior, and to him, this was unusual. Nakazawa would probably blackmail Otogi with this tape, and maybe, he would get some of the cash for providing the tape, which was all that kept his camera rolling.

Back in the gazebo, Ryou and Otogi were happily oblivious to the camera recording every moment of their love. Otogi had stripped Ryou of his shirt and now lowered him to the ground, kissing his face and neck, before moving to his chest.

“I love you…” Otogi whispered into Ryou’s ear, as he slowly slipped his lover’s pants down his thighs. Ryou moaned softly and kicked his pants and boxers away, rendering himself naked beneath his lover.

“I love you too…” He gasped, and Otogi kissed him again, this time working to get his own clothes off. Finally, he tossed them aside and lowered himself down onto Ryou, his own hot skin coming in contact with Ryou’s cool skin, but as he continued kissing and stroking his lover’s body, Ryou’s skin began to heat up quickly as his breathing increased.

“Ryou...” Otogi moaned slightly, lowering his hips between Ryou’s legs as the boy spread them to receive his lover.

“Make love to me….” Ryou panted softly. “Now.”

“Umm.. I don’t have anything…”

“Pants.” Ryou said simply, and Otogi blinked and snatched Ryou’s pants, searching the pockets. He came across a wallet, some loose change, keys, and, to his amusement, some jasmine massage oil.

“You had this planned.” Otogi stated with a smile, and looked at Ryou, who also smiled.

“You bet. Now take me…” The hikari sighed. Otogi took up his previous position and kissed his lover as he slid an oiled finger into him, gently. Ryou made a cooing noise deep in his throat, and continued to do so as Otogi thoroughly prepared his body to receive him.

“Ready, love?”

“More than ready.” Ryou replied, and spread his legs a bit wider and braced himself, waiting for the slight pain and exotic sensation that he would be subjected to in penetration. Otogi bent over and kissed him gently as the head of his erection gently pressed against the muscles that were trying to keep him out. He felt Ryou force himself to relax, and he managed to force his swollen head into the hot passage. Otogi gasped and he held his position, waiting for the go-ahead from Ryou.

He was always gentle with his lover. And it wasn’t because of the threats from Bakura and Marik. He loved Ryou with all his heart and soul, and knew how delicate his small lover was, and did all he could to keep Ryou from feeling any pain and discomfort.

He gasped when Ryou thrust his hips slightly, taking Otogi in another inch, and Otogi continued what Ryou started, easing his swollen penis further into the boy’s body, relishing the feeling of Ryou’s hot, wet passage hugging and caressing his length, as if in welcome.

When he was fully sheathed in Ryou, they both relaxed and clung to each other, Otogi placing tender kisses all over Ryou’s face, neck and collarbone.

“I love you.” Otogi murmured, and kissed Ryou, slipping his tongue into his mouth. “Are you ready?”

“Mmmm…… yes.” Ryou purred, and moaned when Otogi drew himself out and pressed back in, slowly and gently. At little encouragements from Ryou, he continued the slow pumping motion, hands running through Ryou’s hair and stroking his face as the boy continued to mew in pleasure.

Ryou loved the way Otogi made love to him. Sometimes it was loving and tender, like now, sometimes it was lustful and rough, but no matter how they did it, Otogi never failed to perform his gentle preparation (even when it was playfully taunting his lover) and being careful when he penetrated and began. And he never did anything that Ryou didn’t want. And right now, he had known that Ryou wanted it slow and gentle, and, Otogi hated to say it, encouraging after his fearful meetings with Nakazawa.

Otogi stopped right there and shoved all thoughts of their problems out of the way and focused on pleasing his young lover, who was mewling like kitten.

“Mmmm…. ‘Togi…..” Ryou moaned, and Otogi smiled. He had been lost in Ryou’s beauty for so long, that he didn’t realize how far along the boy was, and realized with a start how close he was himself. Ryou had begun to pant and sweat, and the trembling in his body let his lover know how close he was to reaching his orgasm. Otogi kissed Ryou and made his thrusts a bit more forceful, and within half a dozen more of these thrusts, Ryou clutched Otogi’s shoulders and shuddered, moaning as he reached his climax and released. Ryou held Otogi to him as the older boy thrust a few more times before burying himself deep and holding, filling Ryou with his liquid passion.

Both moaned, and then, rolled over onto their sides. Still embedded deep in Ryou, Otogi cradled his lover to his chest and nuzzled his face into his hair. They lay entwined for several minutes, until a slight hiss made them look up.

Ryou smiled at the gentle rain that had begun to fall over the garden, and Otogi looked around, glad that they were under the roof of the gazebo; that rain would have been a wet, cold, nasty shock if they had been out in the garden. He looked down and kissed Ryou, slipping his limp penis from the hikari’s body. No words were said, he simply pulled Ryou into his arms and lay together, cuddling each other as they listened to the rain.

“I love you.” Otogi whispered to Ryou.

And still, neither one noticed the camera that dared to capture ever moment of their love…..

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long after Otogi had carried his sleeping lover into the house, Nakazawa opened his eyes at a tapping on his window. He opened it and grinned at the tape on the sill. He picked it up and immediately popped it into the VCR and pressed play. What he saw was Ryou and Otogi in what looked like the backyard of Otogi’s home, making out. As Nakazawa continued to watch the video, he pulled out his erection and began pumping himself in time with Otogi thrusting into Ryou on the screen. When he finally released, he reached his decision; he would have Otogi by any means necessary, and Ryou would just be an added bonus. Maybe he would get a private showing in person… And with that thought, he started the video over, a lustful grin on his face.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Otogi smiled as he laid Ryou down on their bed, and slid in beside him, pulling the blankets up to cover them both. He draped an arm over Ryou, smiling as his lover cracked open his eyes long enough to smile and cuddle closer. Otogi smiled happily and glanced at Daisy in her bed in the corner before closing his eyes.

"'Togi?" Ryou slurred, sleepily.

"Yes?"

"Do you love me?" Otogi opened his eyes and looked at Ryou, who was looking at him with hopeful eyes.

"Of course I do! Why do you ask?"

"I don’t know..." Ryou said, shrugging, and closed his eyes. Otogi blinked, and closed his eyes as well.

"Otogi?"

"Yes?" Otogi said, opening his eyes again.

"I want you to promise me something."

"Anything, love."

"Promise me that you will never let Nakazawa win." Ryou said, and Otogi blinked.

"I promise." He said, and Ryou reached up, gently running his fingers through his lover's dark hair.

"I love you." Ryou whispered. "And I will do everything I can to protect you." Otogi smiled and cupped Ryou's cheek, kissing him gently on the mouth.

"As will I, my love. As will I." And he enveloped Ryou in his arms, pulling him close, kissing him. Ryou sighed and smiled into the kiss, curling his leg around Otogi's hips. The darker boy rolled over onto his back, letting his lover rest his head on his chest. Otogi closed his eyes and ran his finger's through Ryou's hair, sighing contentedly. His pale lover nestled down in Otogi's arms and also sighed, before finally drifting to sleep.

But once again, sleep failed to come to Otogi. He listened to the sot breathing of his albino lover, and the little squeaks that the puppy was making as it dreamt, but sleep would not come to him. The rain spattered over the window, and thunder rolled over the house gently. Ryou sighed and cuddled closer to Otogi, and the Dice Master continued to stroke Ryou’s soft hair.

“Maybe… I should tell Bakura about Nakazawa……” Otogi sighed.

………………………………………

Otogi sat at his desk, Ryou curled up in his lap. They awaited Nakazawa’s arrival in silence. They heard the elevator’s ding, and a moment later, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in and get your fuckin money, already.” Otogi called, and Nakazawa opened the door, glaring.

“Drop the attitude, Ryuuji.” He snarled, then grinned. “And drop your pants while you’re at it.”

“GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!” Otogi screamed, getting to his feet and knocking Ryou to the floor. Ryou jumped up and scrambled away. Otogi grabbed the envelope and threw it at Nakazawa. He grinned and pulled something out of his pocket, placing it on Otogi’s desk.

“A gift, Ryuuji, to you and your, heh, lover… Just to show you how close I gan get without you even knowing.” And he turned and left. Otogi blinked, and ripped open the little paper package, and stared at the video.

“Why do I have the feeling that I don’t want to know what that is?” Ryou squeaked, and Otogi looked at him, then moved across the room, slipping the tape into his VCR. He turned on the television, and pressed play. The picture was blurry darkness, every now and then a white blob passing by. Then, the camera was set down, and focused on what was seen as a gardenia. A hand ripped the blossom away, and then, Ryou screamed.

Otogi gasped and stumbled away, staring at the picture of himself undressing Ryou and lowering him to the floor of the gazebo in the back yard…. Just last night. Otogi turned as Ryou began to sob in fearful hysterics. He quickly pulled his lover into his arms, and Ryou hid his face into Otogi’s chest, screaming. Otogi turned off the television, and held Ryou close. They weren’t safe. Not anywhere. Not even his own home.
