Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart-Chapter 121 - 120

Raiden’s expression darkened as he processed Hiro’s words. He paced around the room before stopping to look directly at Hiro. "But he never told me he wanted the project." He said in disbelief. He still couldn’t wrap his head around Shoji being the reason they fought. "Besides, Project Aegis doesn’t belong to me. It’s your family’s work. I’ve only been safeguarding it until the time comes to hand it over to you. Contrary to what the world thinks, I haven’t even touched the research."

He held Hiro’s hands and pulled him closer. "The truth is, Project Aegis has already been completed by your parents. There’s nothing left for me to do even if I wanted to."

Hiro’s eyes widened in surprise. "What?..."

Raiden nodded. "Yes. The project was about Huntington’s disease, and your parents discovered the cure. According to the files I’ve seen, they were planning to announce it on your birthday and put everything they get through the project under your name."

Hiro was shocked. Under his name? But why would they give him everything?

"I can show them all to you if you want." Raiden said. "Everything about the project is there. However, the formula for the cure is something only your parents know. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t monopolize the project. Now, I don’t know why Shoji wants the project but the same thing will apply to him even if I give it to him. There’s nothing he can do with it. Only your parents know the formula or at least, where it is."

Raiden felt a little guilty lying to Hiro about not knowing where the formula was but it was better for Hiro to not know, otherwise, his life would be in danger.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. He still couldn’t believe Shoji would do this to him. Why couldn’t he just talk to him directly? Why did he have to try to ruin his relationship? Was it because of the billions the cure would bring or was there something else? Something he was missing? He quickly picked up his phone and sent a text to his secretary, Miss Ling. He needed to know everything he could about Shoji. Especially why he would want Project Aegis. Raiden had a feeling it wasn’t about the money.

When Raiden put down his phone on the desk, Hiro stepped closer and hugged him, resting his head against Raiden’s chest. "I’m sorry." He muttered. "I should never have listened to him from the start. I should never have doubted you Raiden. Henceforth, I will never doubt you. Whatever it is, I will come to you first and listen only to you. I promise. Please, forgive me."

He raised his head, staring pleadingly at Raiden with his glistening champagne coloured eyes and long wet lashes. His small lips were pursed and he looked so cute that Raiden’s heart melted instantly.

He could never stay mad at Hiro for too long. It had always been like that. No matter what Hiro said or did to him, he always went back, always pursued him, always wanted him.

There was never a day that Raiden didn’t want Hiro.

"Fine." He said, pecking Hiro on the lips then chuckling when Hiro’s face went from pitiful to shining brightly like the sun. "But, you’ll have to make it up to me."

Hiro needed eagerly. "I will! I promise!" He grinned mischievously, already knowing what he wanted to do. Tomorrow was Raiden’s birthday and he already had something in store, thanks to Michi.

Hiro took a black and white stripped thigh high socks and held it in front of his phone screen, showing to Michi. "What about this one?"

Michi immediately scrunched his nose. "No. Put that away and why are you showing me socks? Bring out the lace panties. The sexy ones."

"Hey you don’t have to say it like that." Hiro flushed, embarrassed.

"Isn’t that the normal way of saying it?" Michi chuckled. "How else do you expect me to say it? That’s what they are called."

Hiro pursed his lips, murmuring; "You could just say underwear."

Michi sighed. His best friend was really too shy. "I don’t understand how you and Raiden have sex with how shy you are. Do you turn off the lights so he can’t see you? Or do you hide your face in the pillows?"

"Michi!" Hiro exclaimed, going even redder.

Michi burst out laughing. Teasing Hiro was so much fun. "Look at how red your face is. I can grill meat on it."

"Michi stop." Hiro whined, covering his face.

"Okay okay fine. I’ll stop." Michi chuckled.

"And for your information, w-we- we do it anytime a-and anywhere." Hiro said in a small voice. 9

"Ooooooo spicy." Michi teased. He then remembered something. "Oh yeah, have you seen the videos and pictures I sent you?"

Hiro nodded, his face turning as red again as he recalled what he had watched. "I’ve seen them all." He muttered. "But how do you expect me to do all that?"

He recalled the extremely detailed videos on the art of pleasing one’s partner and he blushed even harder. He wondered how the actors in the videos were able to do such things.

"Didn’t he say you have to make it up to him?" Michi asked, frowning. "Don’t you want to make it up to him? You were the one who asked me for help and this is the best way I can help you. You need to learn how to do those things so you can make Raiden happy. He has done a lot of things to make you happy, hasn’t he?"

Hiro nodded. "More than I expected."

"Exactly!" Michi exclaimed. "So go wear those sexy lingerie we bought and blow your man’s mind. You’re an adult Hiro. And you have a boyfriend. Wanting to please him sexually is nothing to be shy about. You’re already super sexy. Show him that you have the skills to pleasure him too!"

Hiro suddenly felt strangley motivated from Michi’s words. That’s right. He’s an adult. There was no need to be so shy. Besides, he and Raiden had done it so many times. There wasn’t a part of him Raiden hadn’t seen or touched. Both inside and out. There was nothing to be shy about.

"You’re right." He said, looking determined. "I can do this."

"Of course you can." Michi said, laughing. "Do it exactly like I said. Do you understand?"

Hiro nodded earnestly. "Yes."

"Good. Now go and get ready." Michi smiled. "I have a shop to run and cutomers to feed. I’ll call you in two days to hear the juicy details. Listen carefully Hiro, if you can walk in two days then it means you didn’t do it right. Do you understand?"

Hiro was horrified. "I-I shouldn’t be able to walk?"

Michi nodded, looking serious. "Yes. In fact, you shouldn’t even be able to sit down properly. That’s when you’ll know you’ve done it right."

Hiro frowned. That sounded a lot like his first time. Besides, it wasn’t like he was able to walk properly anytime they did it. Raiden was really big down there....
