Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart-Chapter 139: Check 138

Raiden’s heart clenched. His arms wrapped around Hiro, holding him tightly, protectively. Then, without another word, he cupped Hiro’s face and kissed him like his life depended on it.

The kiss was deep, filled with everything he had held back for so long—his love, his devotion, his overwhelming need for Hiro.

Everything.

It was like the chains holding his inner feelings back had been broken and unleashed. Raiden couldn’t stop. He kissed Hiro again and again, his lips tracing over Hiro’s soft mouth, pressing urgent, breathless kisses and when he finally pulled away, Raiden pressed their foreheads together, his breath uneven. “I love you too,” he murmured softly. “I’ve loved you for a long time, Hiro."

’Longer than you can imagine.’ He thought in his heart.

His fingers brushed Hiro’s damp cheeks, wiping away his tears. “I love you so fucking much. Do you love me? Do you truly love me, Hiro?"

Hiro nodded vehemently as more tears spilled down his cheeks even though he was smiling. He cupped Raiden’s cheeks, pressing another kiss to his lips. “I truly love you, Raiden. I love you with all my heart.”

"Fuck." Raiden breathed, hugging Hiro tight. His body was even trembling from excitement. He still couldn’t believe it. He felt like he was dreaming that was why he kept hugging Hiro tight, as if he wanted to draw him entirely into his own body.

Hiro’s heart felt unbearably sweet, swelling with warmth as he let Raiden take everything from him—his breath, his reason, his very soul. His fingers curled in Raiden’s shirt, holding on as he drowned in his boyfriend’s affection.

So this was love...

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOSS!!!”

The deafening chorus nearly knocked the air out of Raiden’s lungs. He stopped dead in his tracks, Hiro right beside him, as he took in the sight before him.

His office—usually sleek and professional—was decorated with balloons and banners, streamers hanging from the ceiling. A massive three-tiered cake sat proudly on his desk, its white frosting topped with candles waiting to be lit. His employees—every single one of them—stood beaming, clapping, and cheering.

Raiden blinked, stunned. He turned to Hiro, his voice almost accusing. “You did this?”

Hiro bit his lip, a shy smile playing at the corners of his lips as he nodded, linking his arm with Raiden’s.

Raiden stared at him, completely overwhelmed. Hiro had done this. For him.

Before he could even process it, one of his employees stepped forward, grinning as he shoved a wrapped box into Raiden’s hands.

“Boss! Happy birthday! I got you something. It was sudden, so I didn’t have much time, but I hope you like it!”

Raiden barely had time to react before another worker came up, handing him another gift. Then another. And another. Soon, his arms were overflowing with presents, and he could only stand there, speechless.

He wasn’t used to this. People doing things for him. His birthday used to come and go like every other day. Sometimes he forgot that he even had a birthday. But here they were. Hiro, his employees—his people.

A warmth bloomed in his chest, something deep, something real. The first time he had felt such warmth was when he finally got Hiro in his arms, when he made Hiro his. Now, it was happening again amd it made him realise that he wasn’t as alone in the world as he thought.

His father, step-mother, and step-brothers might not like him. They may act like he didn’t exist but it didn’t matter for he had the one person that he loves more than anything in the entire world.

And... he looked at Hiro, his eyes brimming with love and adoration.

Hiro loves him too.

"This is... really a surprise." He said, gazing at his employees. "Thank you all so much. I truly appreciate it."

"No problem boss!" One of them shouted.

"Yeah, as long as we get to party!" Another shouted and they all burst out laughing.

"Let me get those off your hands, sir." Miss Ling said as she stepped forward and began to help Raiden with the gifts. "We’re all celebrating at your favourite club tonight. Party starts at 7."

Raiden was surprised once again. "There’s a party?"

Miss Ling looked at him like it was an obvious thing. "Of course sir." A thought occured to her and she gazed at him suspiciously. "You do not want to attend?"

Raiden immediately looked at Hiro. "Well..."

He had already planned to take Hiro back home and have another passionate steamy night in his playroom. He had told Hiro that he wasn’t allowed to cum throughout the week and he was already looking forward to edging him all night. The thought of Hiro writhing on his sheets, begging him to let him cum was all he could think about.

Hiro could already somewhat tell what Raiden was thinking. He giggled, and went on his toes, whispering in Raiden’s ear. "Let’s attend the party. I’m already yours Raiden. You can have me whenever and wherever you want."

Raiden blinked, once again surprised. Did Hiro just say whenever and wherever? Was he suggesting they do it at the club?

Miss Ling stood there, waiting patiently for her boss’s answer while Hiro couldn’t help but laugh. He had never seen Raiden so stunned and indecisive.

"Do you really mean what I’m thinking?" Raiden asked, slipping his arms around Hiro’s waist and pulling him close. "Whenever and wherever?"

Hiro smiled and shrugged. "You can only find out if we attend the party."

"We’ll go." Raiden immediately said to Miss Ling. "Inform Han and clear my schedule for tonight."

Miss Ling grinned, sharing a knowing look with Hiro. "Already done. But now we have a meeting with the head of Xiao group from China." freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Would you like to come with?" Raiden asked, gently brushing Hiro’s soft sandy brown locks back with his fingers.

Hiro wanted to be around Raiden but he was actually tired and sleepy so he shook his head. "I want to sleep a bit. Is that okay?"

Raiden nodded. "Of course. I didn’t let you get enough rest last night. I would say I’m sorry but I’m really not."

Hiro instantly went red and he buried his face in Raiden’s chest, wanting to hide from Miss Ling and the others who were already whispering and snickering. "You don’t have to say things like that out loud." He mumbled, feeling shy.
