Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart-Chapter 88 - 87

Hiro couldn’t believe it. Of all the reasons he came up with on their ride back, this one never crossed his mind. "I...I don’t understand. You bought them all just to give them to me?"

Raiden nodded. It wasn’t something he wanted Hiro to know now. It was his plan B. In case Hiro still refused to stay with him despite his efforts. He was planning on using it as a bargaining chip. Hiro would have to marry him in exchange for his family’s assets. Now that everything was exposed, he’d just have to fuse it with plan A. Maybe it will make Hiro develop a soft spot for him faster.

He raised his hand, brushing back some stray strands of hair from Hiro’s face. "I know I’ve done a lot things to make you hate me in the past but my feelings for you were real. If you can remember, I had asked you for the last time, if you wanted to marry me but you rejected me and told me you never wanted to see me again. Still, I knew you’d have a tough life after everything that happened so after I decided to stay away from you, I started buying up all the properties the government seized from your parents so that I could give them back to you. I wanted that to be my last act of goodwill towards you. To make sure you live well. I just didn’t expect our relationship to develop this way. You know, with your sister’s illness and our agreement. Nevertheless, I’m still going to give them to you. This way, you won’t have to worry about your next meal after we part ways."

Hiro’s breath hitched as Raiden’s words sunk in, each one wrapping around his heart, squeezing it tightly. Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring his vision, and no matter how hard he tried to hold them back, they spilled over, tracing warm paths down his cheeks. He felt choked up, as if his emotions were lodged in his throat, making it difficult to speak, to breathe.

Raiden had cared this much? Even after everything, he had gone to such lengths to ensure his future, to protect him. The realization was overwhelming, a rush of gratitude and confusion that left Hiro trembling. He couldn’t believe that Raiden, whom he hated in the past, had been planning all along to secure his well-being.

"Y-You...I-I...I thought you hated me." Hiro managed to say. "I thought you didn’t want to have anything to do with me again. Y-You said so yourself. That it was already too late."

"I know." Raiden replied, staring into Hiro’s beautiful eyes that were glistening with tears. "But ask yourself this, Hiro. Can I really hate you?"

Hiro’s thoughts swirled in a chaotic mess. His heart raced with the question that had been gnawing at him for so long. Did Raiden still love him? Was this more than just a final act of goodwill? Was Michi right all along? Was there something deeper behind Raiden’s actions? Something that Hiro hadn’t allowed himself to hope for?

He wanted to know, needed to know, but at the same time, he was afraid. He was afraid to hear the truth. If Raiden still had feelings for him, what would he do? How will he face Raiden? Would he be able to accept them? And even if he did, would he be able to love Raiden back? He didn’t know. He wasn’t sure so the words wouldn’t come. Instead, all he did was cry, his emotions spilling over, unable to contain the flood of feelings that had been building up inside him for so long.

Raiden didn’t miss a single thing in Hiro’s eyes. All his thoughts, his fears, he could read them all. He had learnt to know how Hiro was feeling a long time ago so he smiled and wiped Hiro’s tears with his palms.

“You don’t have to say anything." He said. "You don’t have to answer. I just want you to be happy Hiro. That’s what matters the most to me.”

Hiro looked at Raiden, his champagne-colored eyes shining with unshed tears. Without thinking, he leaned down and pressed his lips to Raiden’s in a soft, heartfelt kiss.

Raiden responded immediately, his arms wrapping around Hiro’s lithe waist as he deepened the kiss, pouring all the unspoken promises and emotions into the embrace. He chased and caught Hiro’s tongue with his, sucking it into his warm wet mouth.

Hiro couldn’t help but moan into Raiden’s mouth, his entire body tingling with that familiar maddening sensation of his body getting turned on. His toes curled as he felt his dick swell and rise in his pants. Raiden had turned him on with a kiss. This time, he took the initiative and snaked his arms around Raiden’s neck, bringing their bodies closer until he could feel his clothed chest against Raiden’s bare skin. His ass was now perfectly planted on Raiden’s shaft and Hiro was pleased to find that Raiden was just as hard as he was.

Raiden drew in a sharp breath the second he felt Hiro’s ass on his dick. He couldn’t believe that Hiro was taking the initiative. He was always the one kissing Hiro or doing things. Now that Hiro wanted it, how could he refuse? He would be stupid to even hold himself back.

He immediately switched their positions, placing Hiro on the bed. He spread open Hiro’s legs and settled himself in between, grinding his dick against his ass. He didn’t break the kiss. Instead, he deepened it further, tongue digging into Hiro’s mouth like it was the last kiss he was ever going to have. His hands weren’t idle either. They sneaked under Hiro’s sweater, catching his already hardened nipples, twisting and tugging until Hiro became an absolute mess under him.

Hiro’s initial train of thought was completely scattered. He couldn’t even remember where to begin. All he could do was focus on the amazing things happening to his body, moaning and writhing underneath Raiden’s skillful hands. He couldn’t help but want more. He didn’t know when but his legs were already tightly wound around Raiden’s waist. His hips were grinding in time with Raiden’s, both chasing their desires and it wasn’t long until Hiro felt the familiar swelling of his balls. He moaned into Raiden’s mouth, his toes curling as his dick erupted, spurting cum inside his pants.

"You came?" Raiden asked, breaking the kiss to look at Hiro, amused.

Hiro flushed bright red but he still nodded meekly. He went even redder when he heard Raiden laugh. Then Raiden kissed him again and again before pulling away. He was a little disappointed, thinking that was all but he became excited again when Raiden didn’t leave. Instead, Raiden took off the rest of his clothes which were his pants and briefs, throwing them aside.
