Nobody dared to touch that which was yours.
“The child of the woman who slit my throat is crying, yes?”
As if on cue, the newborn boy’s shriek split the air.
For a woman whose sole purpose was to provide an heir to the house, the sound sent a chill down your spine. You didn’t let it show on your face, though, as you let the tip of the sword drag on the dirt.
Comfort was a luxury your father’s concubine could afford no longer. Since his passing, the woman had mysteriously grown with child, most alarmingly the son of your father. Just the sight irked you. More so were the rumors that the child was not even his to begin with.
And if her son was to take the throne from you, he would have to do it with his mother dead.
The woman laid strewn upon heaps of hay, stained with her blood. Her lips were cracked. And for once, you were glad you weren’t able to have children. Glad that your one purpose might have caused you death, and you had narrowly escaped its hands at the behest of the entire nation’s scorn.
“I had thought that Father passing before the child was a blessing from the heavens,” you mused. “Now I see it for what it truly is—a curse, as the woman who cut my neck can never be repaid in kind.”
The ladies in the corner, cowering, lowered their heads in shame, refusing to meet your eyes. The baby wriggled from where he was choked in blankets next to the still body of his mother, shrill cries ripped from his throat.
“My lady?” someone called out, voice small.
The sword clattered to the ground as you knelt, curling your fingers under the small bundle. “Small. Yet this little thing has made true the wish I held for so many years of my life. To think, this newborn was the one to kill that woman instead of me…”
You smiled and pressed your lips softly to his wet, wrinkled skin. The baby made a soft, keening sound before relaxing in your arms.
“You took my revenge for me.”
The sun rose. The moon wept.
And yet with each day that passed, your brother grew more ill and frail. With the possibility of an heir expelled by you, the servants of the house turned to gossip about the fate of your sickly brother.
“You still have not managed to find any blood?”
Your advisor bowed at the waist, quivering. Pathetic. “My apologies, my lady. It is just…”
“I’ve been told the butchers are not procuring goods today, either.” You pressed the tip of the pipe to your teeth. “Why?”
“The butchers live in a small village within the mountains,” he explained timidly, “but I’m told one of them has recently passed. When one dies, the butchers halt their slaughtering, as they believe that bad luck can become attached to the meat—”
“Advisor,” you cut in, leaning forward, “if you die, that would be the end of your family line. Correct?”
There was only a split second of shock written on his face before he fell to his knees, crouched into a bow with a squeak.
“Please forgive me, my lady!” he pleaded. “It will not happen again!”
You glared down at his cowering form before turning back to the entrance of the ancestral home. “My brother requires his medicine urgently. If I leave this to your hand, something like this could happen again. Lead me to the butchers’ village before the day’s end.”
You could sense his reluctance washing off of the pale man in waves, evident even as the horse beneath you trodded the path of the forest. Indeed, the village was shrouded in the mountains.
It would be serene if not for the feeling of eyes watching you.
“My lady,” he began quietly, “must you accompany us?”
You glanced off to the side. “Is there a problem?”
“It’s just…” he hesitated. “I’ve heard the tiger’s son lives in this village.”
“Tiger’s son?”
A butcher girl gave birth to a child—a healthy baby boy, with no father. The son grew to be so strong, they said he could even carry entire cows by himself.
The man stressed his eyes. Like the azure of tigers.
“You may think all butchers look strange,” he continued, “but on top of his foreign features, they say his eyes are the deepest pools of water, so deep you could find yourself lost in them, if they caught you alone at night.”
It was almost dreamy, the lilt of his voice.
“A tiger, hm?” you mused. “Very well. I have yet to go on a spring hunt, so the timing is perfect.”
“Pardon, my lady?” the man replied, snapping out of his trance.
“Let’s hunt a tiger.”
You left your little party of worried bodyguards in the shallow part of the forest, where you promised you would return before the sun had abandoned you. Your advisor was not pleased.
That hadn’t stopped the tip of your head, inclined to a few wary butchers standing at the log post at the head of the village.
“I’m looking for the man they call the tiger’s son?” you asked.
“Oh, you cannot possibly mean—”
“Seems like—”
One of the men dipped his head, beard curling to the nape of his neck. “My lady, why do you seek him? Even if you call, he does not come out at night—”
“You fool, how dare you?” his companion scolded. “How can he refuse when her honorable ladyship calls?”
“Apologies, my lady,” he mumbled. “His eyes have a way of crossing travelers at night, and he’s gotten into trouble for it quite a bit around the town.”
“Show me the way.”
The pitiful stack of wood lumped together could not be an excuse for a house. No, it could not. But the men stopped in front of the shameful shack, careful to keep a distance.
“You have a guest!” one of them shouted into the silent night. “Strongest!”
Strongest. What a peculiar name, and what a peculiar way to live.
“Are you there?” the bearded man called, “come out, please.”
But only silence met their pleas.
The moon began to bathe the rolling hills in a pale glow.
“This is a shame,” you said softly, walking up to the bearded man. There was no fear in his eyes as he held your gaze. Pitying. “I absolutely loathe being lied to.”
Your sword never missed its target. The man fell to his knees, clutching his eye. Groveling suited the peasants. They had spoken to you in such an ill manner, so what more did they deserve?
“So tell me the truth. There isn’t anybody here.”
“N-No,” the other man attempted, swallowing hard as the tip of your blade grazed his bobbing throat, “this is where the tiger’s son lives!”
“Really?” The side of your mouth curved. “Let us try this then.”
You walked straight up to the rotting wood, to the scent of something vaguely threatening, something irritating building in the air. You shook off the wafting scent and leaned in close, lips nearly brushing the splintered door.
“Listen, strongest,” you drawled, dripping in mockery, “every time I call your name, one of these villagers will die. It started with an eye, and it will end with lives. I do not hesitate.”
No response.
You returned to the man, shivering at the edge of the yard, lifting your sword.
“Strongest.”
There was a moment of silence. You could have chopped the man’s head off.
The door creaked open.
“Why are you looking for me, my lady?”
That voice from the shadows with the strangest eyes you’d ever seen sent a heat pooling in your stomach, a strange feeling lapping at your chest.
The man in the doorway wore nothing over his exposed chest, merely rags at his arms and billowing around his thighs. The planes of his muscles tilted into pale moonlight as you blinked, mouth dry, suddenly at a loss for words.
He was not. Those eyes met yours once more, cerulean and shimmering with a depth even the universe could not begin to comprehend.
“I am a nobody to you,” he continued, voice quiet.
“Bow your head, and l-lower your eyes,” the man behind you barked, still trembling at the contact of your sword to his neck.
A laugh escaped your throat before you could stop it.
The man on the ground stilled, sitting up. “My lady?” A bag of coins fell against his chest.
“I will take him.”
“Pardon?”
“I’m looking for a personal slaughterer, one who would live at my estate, of course,” you explained. “It is not very entertaining, but you would be provided for, and if you need, I shall offer payment.”
The man in the doorway blinked, milky tresses teetering on the edge of silver brushing against solid wood.
“You see, I despise the ordinary.” You smiled. “But I’ve taken a liking to you.”
“My lady, you must be hungry. Please eat before the food goes cold.”
Papers shuffled between your fingers, slender ink strokes spelling out a tale as old as time—trivial gossip of the rival houses. The world did nothing, if not talk and talk and talk.
“What of my brother?” you asked instead, flitting to the next page.
“The young master has taken his medicine with a share of the porridge and is resting.”
You gave a small nod. “It seems the butcher is doing his job properly.”
The advisor ducked his head. “Indeed. Thanks to him, we have the blood medicine on a regular basis.” He paused for a moment. “Would you… like to see the young master?”
“No.” Your response was immediate. “I do not want him catching something from me.”
Your poor, sickly brother. Touching, if not for the simple fact that his life was the edge upon which you danced a ballad of your house’s fate. And it rested in the crimson droplets that only animals could provide. With their sacrifice, he lived to breathe another day.
“If that is all—”
“What is he doing?” you interrupted, eyes straying to the field where a lone figure stood near the well, hunched over the edge. The tiger’s son.
Water trickled from his body, rippling over his shining skin as he leaned over to grab another bucketful. White wisps of hair remained plastered to his neck, twisting and writhing like snakes with every elegant movement.
“He was covered in blood,” your advisor explained, “so I told him to wash himself before coming to see you.”
“Is that so? The water is quite cold this time of year, yes?” You trailed his actions with your eyes. “But it seems he does not feel it.”
You had already decided on a name for him. The moment your eyes met his, the sense of enlightenment, of knowing—like he could read your soul just from a single cursory glance.
Satoru. The enlightened one. It felt proper, as if it had always been so.
Would he understand, now, if you called for him?
“Satoru,” you attempted, his name falling from your lips and drifting across the still yard. The world seemed, not to hold its breath, but to release it, carrying your words to him.
The man lifted his head, turned in your direction. He was so bold to even meet your eyes, electric windows to the very sky.
“Yes, my lady?” he asked, across the quiet.
“Come here.”
He did not falter in his movements, graceful as he crossed the breadth of the field in less than a moment to arrive at your feet. Satoru hesitated at the foot of your arbor, choosing instead to kneel at the foot of the wood.
“No.” You waved a hand, dismissing the advisor. He lingered near the edge, eyes flitting between the two of you. “Up here, Satoru.”
The man swallowed tightly at the sound, blinking for just a moment before he crept up to sit right in front of you. Water dripped from his very being, clinging to the corners of his eyelashes and pooling at the slant of his chest.
“Pardon, but my lady—” your advisor began.
“No.” You turned back to Satoru, eyes sharp. “Oh, my. You’re dripping everywhere, do you see?”
The man bit his lip, lowering his gaze, cheeks burning with shame. He managed an apology through his frantic swiping at the ground.
You watched him for a moment. How cute.
“Leave it,” you said instead. “Here, eat.”
There was always a dazzling array of foods—seared meat, steaming rice, fresh fruit and sauces dripping from every ounce of it. Satoru was hungry—that, much like everything else, was apparent in his eyes.
But he stilled, hesitating, turning his head from you to the food.
“You want me… to eat this?” he asked.
“My lady, expensive food like that—”
This time, your advisor was smart enough to cut himself off, hissing at the sharp sting of withering coals upon his foot as you tipped your pipe the other way.
“Haven’t I told you how much I despise noise, especially during my meals?” you seethed, although your anger was quiet and subtle and just as horrifying, judging by the horror that struck his eyes. “Leave.”
The man scurried off in a flash of silk and fear.
You gestured to the quickly cooling food. “Eat.”
Never before had you seen a man eat so quickly. He scarfed the food down like the world would end just a moment later, just to rub at his chest after a few such bites. It was charming, the way his eyes kept flying back to you.
“I see you have a big appetite,” you mused. “I think we shall need more.”
“Will you not eat, my lady?” he asked, hands folding at the crux of his thighs.
“Me?” you echoed, fazed. “Whatever are you worrying about me for?”
“Because…” You caught his throat bobbing. “You look pale.”
The remark had come scarring and searing from your step-mother, and then your father, and everyone else who dared to question you. But coming from him, it sounded more like a tender question. Almost… caring.
Almost like the glint of concerned mauve and inky hair in the sunlight.
It was enough to make you laugh, slipping your fingers against the bridge of your nose. “Of course. It shouldn’t amuse me that the only person in this entire estate to truly care for my well being is the lowly simpleton.”
Satoru simply blinked at you and cocked his head.
You shook your head. “Do not worry about me. You eat, first.”
“Your father would like to take another one of mine as a concubine,” you said flatly to the woman sitting across from you. “How does he still have the energy to get up to such things?”
“He is ridiculously healthy,” she replied with a slight shrug.
Only one woman was permitted to be so casual with you, and that would be your childhood friend, Shoko Ieiri. Well, one of them.
“Say, I heard you’ve taken in a butcher,” she continued, raising an eyebrow. “Very unlike you.”
“Satoru?” you asked, the name slipping out from under your tongue.
“Satoru?” she echoed, a laugh following soon after. “That is his name? How unusual.”
“I named him,” you muttered. “They called him ‘Strongest’ for lack of a name, so I gifted him one.”
Shoko was a meticulous woman. When she set her sights on something, it was most often found dead in her fingers. So you could see the intricate strings of her mind weaving the thought she wouldn’t dare say aloud—what possessed you to name a man?
Instead, she replied, “So you are keeping men, now, as pets?”
“It is none of your—”
“You like him so much, but you know, he is an orphan,” she said softly, more concerned than mocking. “How do you think he survived this long? I’ve heard he’s known for burying his head in the skirts of lonely widows.”
The third time you’ve heard such nonsense, and it was beginning to sound like anything but nonsense. Still, if he was good at it, perhaps you could make use of such skills…
“You are the third person to tell me this, Shoko,” you said.
“They have all told you the same thing, my lady.”
“But do you know what else they say?” You leaned in closer. “They say that I have taken him as a concubine. That we engage in sexual intercourse.”
Shoko’s lips parted. “Assuredly not. Who would dare—”
“Just chatter behind my back,” you replied, “but what do you think?”
“Think… of what?”
“Of my taking a concubine.”
Shoko spared a sultry grin. “Ah, have you taken a liking to me? I’d be honored—”
“Crazy woman,” you cut in, but you were smiling as well. True, no one was able to lift your spirits as high as the girl you spent your childhood with.
Footsteps pattered outside of the room. His silhouette and its twin shadow took up nearly the entire plastered window.
“Come in, Satoru,” you said.
“You called, my lady?” he said politely, dipping his head to the lady in front of you even as her eyes widened, darting to you in a silent, I apologize for everything I said before, as I completely understand your thoughts now.
“I can see why women go mad for him,” she said thoughtfully as soon as her thorough examination of him was done. The poor man, he stood through it all rigid, eyes fixed on you like an anchor through choppy waves.
“Do you like him?” you asked.
The corner of her mouth turned upwards. “Are you letting me borrow him?”
“It seems like I may have another use for him, so why not let you teach him?” You shrugged.
Her laugh was like tinkling glass. “Ah, a butcher concubine. How exotic. How old are you?”
Satoru’s eyes had not left yours for a moment. “Twenty-two.”
Shoko tipped her head in your direction. “Then I shall send for him when the preparations are finished.”
On occasion, you allowed yourself to be interrupted while tending your garden. If the situation presented itself to be important, then you would let your fingertips run across the fine petals and calm yourself.
If not, you would take the insolent brat and toss them in a river.
This time, your robe was already slipping from your shoulders as you prepared to rest, yet your eyes were not nearly tired enough from the day. Perhaps if you stared at vibrant bursts of color, you would find—
“… My lady.” Satoru’s voice, for such a large man, was awfully small.
“Come in,” you said softly, continuing as soon as he was knelt behind you, “and what bothers you now?”
Satoru averted his eyes. “That woman… from today. Ah… am I meant to…”
You turned. “That’s right. Are you against it?”
He lowered his head. “That is…”
“There are rumors, of you,” you replied. “I am simply taking advantage of them. Making full use of what is mine. Why? Does this bother you?”
“I am… unsure,” he admitted suddenly. “I have never… done anything further than…”
“Is there truly a difference?” you asked, knowing well enough that there was a difference to the light in his eyes.
“Back then…” he paused, “I did what I had to because I was hungry and needed to survive.” His hands trembled on the carpet, eyes fixed on his further whitening knuckles.
“But now your stomach is full?” you finished, stepped forward. He lifted his gaze just enough to graze the skin of your ankles. “Oh, what to do. I already promised, hm?”
Kneeling in front of him, you traced the unsteadiness of the column of his throat, his thighs shifting, pants tenting. His eyes were sinful, indeed, wandering over you fitted in loose robes and far too much exposed skin.
“To think you say you are unsure even as your eyes are anything but,” you continued, pulling at the neckline of your robe to let the skin of your collarbone shift against the silk. “I think you are lying to me. You should know something—I don’t like when people lie to me, Satoru.”
The pink of his tongue ran across his lips. “Since you are so pretty, my lady—”
You bit back a laugh, instead choosing to let the mocking smile drip across your lips as you pulled yourself back to your feet. “I was right, after all.”
“Pardon?” he whispered, breathless like you had taken the air from him.
“You get excited looking at women,” you replied simply, “and that is enough for now.” Your fingers curled around his chin, forcing him to look upwards into your eyes. “I found you because I have an excellent eye for people.”
The tip of your thumb tugged at his lip. He opened, obedient, eyes half-lidded as you let your finger roam around the pad of his tongue, the ridges of his teeth.
“How could I not use you?” you mused, although it was more to yourself. “It would be a waste of such a fine creature, no?”
You leaned forward, tugging him closer, voice pitched feather-soft.
“Tomorrow, after spending the night with her, come see me. If you like, you can have me too.”
That haze in his glassy eyes was unmistakable.
“Yes, my lady.”
“The preparations are complete,” Shoko lilted. “Tonight, we shall find out if your little pet is capable of living up to your standards.”
“Since when were you aware of my standards?”
“Since you brought home strange butchers without my permission,” she replied.
“Remind me again why I keep you around?” you teased.
“Who else would look after you as well as I do?” Shoko grinned. “Now, let us be on our way.”
In some strange, twisted game, you would never have to tell her what you were planning. It was as if you could see your own thoughts reflected in endless fields of fertile soil, the seed of your ideas planted in your presence.
So, in keeping, she knew that you were about to head to the market to watch Satoru with your advisor as they bought and fitted appropriate clothes for tonight.
Shoko offered to come along, no doubt to ogle at Satoru as he tried on different fabrics. You couldn’t stop her, as the thrum of her blood was almost as exciting as yours.
More out of sorts, the merchant your advisor had stopped at—by chance, perhaps—was shaking his head and muttering.
“No, no. We do not sell to butchers,” he growled, accent heavy under his words. “Do you want to get arrested? Who would waste precious silk like this on a butcher?”
Your advisor scowled. “Now, see here, don’t you know what—”
“Who, you ask?”
It was almost endearing, the way Satoru perked at the sound of your voice, twisting to see the origin of the sword whose holster’s edge was currently pricked at the merchant’s neck.
“So if a butcher wears silk clothes,” you continued, tilting the blade up, “he’ll be arrested and taken to the government’s office?”
“M-My lady—”
“Him, getting arrested, or you dying by my sword.” The glint of the eerie sunlight and your eyes shone in tandem. “Which do you think is faster?”
The man swallowed.
“Stop worrying over senseless things and get to work,” you purred, “before I come back here and finish the job myself.”
“U-Understood,” the man stammered, shuffling back to his stall.
“My lady, I insisted that—”
You cut your advisor off with a hand. “Nonsense. I do not need others to do what I am perfectly capable of doing myself.”
Satoru’s eyes dipped lower, to the fabric spilling from your hands. “My lady?”
“Do you like it?” You held it up to his skin, admiring the brush of silk against smoother skin, the vibrancy of his eyes. “It suits you, Satoru.”
“Me?”
“Who else?” You pressed a palm to his chest. “Yes. Or tell me if something else is to your liking—”
“No,” he interrupted, proceeding to flush, “it is perfect, my lady.”
“You think so?” You draped the silk over his shoulder. “Not too heavy?”
“It is light,” he replied simply.
The light of his own eyes sparkled back at you. Darker, still, than Shoko’s light gaze fixed on the two of you.
“Say, the way your peasant looks at you is cute,” she brought up on the walk across the bridge. “I do not know why you would name such a beautiful man Satoru, of all things. You should have named him… butterfly, or something.”
“Butterfly?” you mocked. “Watch your mouth. You know how I am.”
“Alright, alright,” she relented, drifting past you. “You will still let me borrow him, yes?”
“I shall think of it.” You smiled at her open mouth.
But the highlight of your day was found upon the glinting of your sword as you sharpened it. Sparks flickered between your skin, but your vessel would never harm you. It was your only source of compassion, of worry, of care.
Lately, you found yourself wondering if you had found yourself another source. A living, breathing source, with a warm body and a soft smile and hair like splintered moonlight.
“My lady, may I enter?” His voice was always so careful, as if he feared raising it would result in shattering the silverware stacked in precarious towers around you.
“You may.” You ran a finger along the flat edge of the blade, satisfied at the sheen, at the sheer beauty.
You were no less satisfied when you finally laid eyes on Satoru’s waiting form, kneeled in front of you. His hair, captured in milky ringlets atop his head. Eyes boring into yours, alight with liquid gold.
“Very nice,” you said, finally. His body relaxed, slightly. “I think Shoko will like you very much. I was unable to have your clothing ready for tonight, but they will be ready the next time.”
“Will I not be undressed when I… commence, my lady?”
You stood. “Yes, well, you cannot keep greeting guests… half-naked, Satoru.”
He did not look embarrassed. Only slightly worried.
You reached out to grasp his chin, running your finger along his bottom lip. He parted his lips, as if on silent command, but you shook your head.
“Satoru, you’ll do well tonight for me, yes?”
“Yes.” There was no worry nor hesitation in his answer.
You smiled. “Then come find me when you are finished.”
A golden ribbon of tea unfurled from the kettle, steaming as it pooled in your cup. Not much longer until the silence of the night would settle in your mind.
A knock rattled the thin frame of the door. “M-My lady? Are you awake?”
“No use asking when that surely would have woken me,” you mused, setting the kettle aside. “Come in.”
You hadn’t regarded his state when he stumbled inside. You were focused on trying to set the temperature of the tea to a warmth that would surely calm his nerves. You had hoped Shoko had satisfied him, to some level.
But there was nothing but longing in his eyes as he knelt, nearly crawling up to where you were seated, fingers brushing against the fabric of your robe.
“My lady…” he whispered, then again, “my lady.”
“Yes?” you asked, fiddling with the cup.
“Please,” he nearly whined, forcing you to finally spare him a glance.
A robe of his own was half-undone, sweat beading at his brow. His frame shook with every shallow, unsteady breath he took, eyes heavy as they ran over yours.
You glanced downwards, to the prominent bulge against his stomach.
“Impatient, are you? Well, a promise is a promise.”
You expected nothing from a man—to rip off your clothes and push himself into you, to use you, simply put. But Satoru was nothing like any other man.
He dipped to his knees, unsteady as his trembling fingers untied the knot of your robe. Once it fell away, a gasp parted his lips as he leaned forward.
“My lady?” His fingers reached out, brushing against the scar on your neck. A crimson reminder that no matter how far you ran, how safe you felt, there would always be a target on your back.
Your lips pursed. “Never mind that.”
“Are you… okay?” he whispered.
You found it in yourself to laugh, short and cruel. “It comes as a shock, even the second time. The only person to ask me of my scar happens to be the one peasant I choose to bed.”
“My lady… I did not mean…” Satoru cut himself off, instead choosing to grasp your fingers and lead them to his hair.
You threaded, then tugged, experimentally. The beginnings of a sweet sound coiled in the back of his throat as he began to press hot, open-mouthed kisses to the damp fabric covering your pussy.
Satoru hooked his fingers into the curves of the fabric and pulled down, blinking with bleary eyes at the sight of your swollen and glistening folds. His eyes flickered to yours, burning, before he buried his face between your thighs, laying waste to your dripping cunt.
When you guided him upwards, he rolled his tongue over your clit, flicking it back and forth, wringing more sweet nectar. Slender fingers dug into the globes of your ass, kneading the flesh as he let you pull him harder against his greedy mouth, grinding against his face.
His tongue chased the building pressure unfurling rapidly in your lower belly, a ribbon of pleasure spooling from your entrance, parting with the flat of his tongue then delving inside, plunging into your tight heat with a guttural moan.
Satoru stroked along your walls, his nose pressed tight against your clit. The obscene sound of his mouth working at your cunt filled the room, mingling with the shallowness of the night.
“I take it,” you managed through heavy breaths, “that Shoko did not satisfy you?”
Satoru shook his head, still between your thighs, refusing to part to reply.
He lapped at your clit, suckling the sensitive nub, pulling the arch of your body before you could even think to stop him. Your thighs trembled around his head as he pressed the broad side of his tongue deeper into your fluttering walls.
It took him a moment, of your overstimulation and prying him away, for him to lean back, running his tongue over his lips. His eyes stayed fixed in a trance on your drooling pussy, almost in a daze as his own fingers moved to unravel the strings of his robe.
And perhaps the lack, thereof, of a male concubine was why your lips parted at the sight. His erect cock was tufted with snowy hair at the base, flush against his stomach. Even while leaking with beads of precum from the mushroom tip, he merely leaned forward, muffling a soft moan in your skin.
“My lady…” he whispered. “I… I cannot.”
“Cannot… what, Satoru?”
“I-Inside… I have never…” As he swallowed, his skin seared where you brushed his cheek, pulled his gaze back to meet yours. “I am afraid.”
“You need not do anything you do not want to,” you crooned, tucking strands of fallen moonlight behind his ear.
“But I would like you to feel good,” he mumbled, lips curling into a pout as if he was angry with himself for just the thought of fearing this.
You could not blame him any more than you could blame yourself.
So instead, you guided his body against yours, lifting your hips so that his hands were pressed against the back of the apex of where your upper and lower thighs met. Without complaint, Satoru settled between your thighs, cock slipping easily between your slick folds, thick head nudging against your swollen lips.
Almost instinctively, he started to rut against you, his hips rolling and rocking as he dragged himself along your slit. His sensitive tip caught on your clit with each gentle thrust, forcing his eyelids to flutter shut, hiding those pretty blues from you.
“No,” you said softly, “open your eyes.”
The corners of his lips quivered as he gazed back down at you, fingers that were previously resting on your hips reaching down to spread your folds and expose your clit so that the curve of his prominent vein fit nicely against it.
“Oh, my lady—hah—you will be my end,” he whimpered, muscles flexing like there were restrains holding him back. “I think… I am addicted.”
Rolling your hips, you pressed harder against the hot, swollen weight of him grinding between your thighs, chasing the flash of electricity akin to his eyes when the crown of his cock skimmed your clit.
Those buzzing irises were caught on the sight of his cock sliding in and out of the tight press of your thighs, even as his fingers padded at the plush, gently trying to pry you apart.
“My lady, y-you cannot—” Satoru cut himself off, pressing his teeth against his bottom lip before immediately continuing, “don't stop, please don't stop.”
“Do you know what Shoko said, this evening?” you said, a teasing smile dancing over your lips.
“W-What did the lady—ngh—say to you?” he managed in reply, although it was clear his thoughts were entirely elsewhere.
“She said ‘butterfly’ is a more fitting name for you.”
Satoru stilled the pace of his hips, brows pulling together. “But… I have grown attached to the name you have gifted me, my lady.”
“Is that right,” you mused, “Satoru?”
He swallowed, continuing the steady drag of his hips, kissing against yours where pale skin met the apex of your stomach. His body was much closer, the distance too little to bridge the soft whine that fell past his lips.
“Once… once more, please, my lady?”
“Satoru,” you whispered, repeating it like a promise, “Satoru, Satoru.”
It only took that, and a moment in his mind before his cock twitched between your thighs, pearly trails streaking over your body. There’s a pause as he took a breath before flushing madly, bringing his fingers to his mouth, shame piercing his words.
“I apologize, I made a mess,” he managed, ears pink, eyes feverish.
“Then clean it up,” you breathed, cradling his body as he lowered his tongue without a question, lapping at your skin, at his cum forming translucent pools.
“Thank you,” he whispered, “thank you so much, my lady... I needed you so badly it almost hurt.” He pressed a kiss to the swell of your stomach as your fingers wove into his hair.
“You have clients, Satoru,” you tried to say, but he silenced you with a broad stripe of his tongue to your hardened nipples, sealing his lips over the peak for but a moment. “Or would you prefer to just be mine, forever?”
Against the heel of your foot, his cock stirred once more. You grinned.
I need water. It must have slipped out between lush moans and praise, however many rounds later. You had lost track, and your mind was too hazy to even think of attempting to keep count.
“My lady?” he asked, stilling the pace of his hips.
“Who said you could stop?” you slurred, batting at his shoulder.
“My lady, are you thirsty?”
“Haa—‘s fine, continue,” you mumbled, buzzing from a pleasure now dulling between your thighs. You grasped at his arm even as he glanced around the room.
“I shall fetch you water, my lady. I will be right back.”
So you laid your head back, fanning at your face, fingers creeping above your stomach. You didn’t bother touching, for you already knew no matter how much you tried, you were absolutely ruined for his touch, and his touch only.
It seemed the same could be said back.
You had heard the clatter, soft yet noticeable, right outside your door the moment they tried breaking in. You didn’t anticipate any interception from Satoru, at least not this early on.
“My lady,” his voice came through the door, muffled yet strained, startling you. “Please cover yourself.”
You threw the robe over yourself, asking, “What happened?”
A man covered in black found his place, thrown on the ground. Satoru pressed his foot into his back, pinning him down, his robe rippling over his feet.
“Who are you?” he pressed. The man choked on his words, gasping for air, clawing at the ground, at the distance between you and him.
Satoru narrowed his eyes. “Have you come for the lady?”
Poor soul, he nodded, not truly understanding the depth to which Satoru asked his question.
Shoko had always been a horrible judge of character. It resulted in her lying in the bed of a man she did not know, then resorting to her pipes to smoke away her worries.
So when Satoru snapped the man’s neck with a clean twist, then kicked him away, you were inclined to laugh.
For how was this a butterfly?
You had named him fittingly. Satoru truly was enlightened.
For instead of reveling in the rush of his actions, he crossed the room to fall at your feet, on his knees as he looked up at you with the most reverent of eyes.
“My lady, forgive me.”
“For what?”
“I didn’t bring the water.”
“Is that so?” His face was warm, flushing where your fingers brushed against his skin. “Is bringing me my water more important than this?”
“Yes, of course…”
There was a dazed look in his eyes, as if there was no other correct answer.
Smiling, you stroked his cheek, leaning forward enough to let your noses brush. His clothed cock grew rigid against your thigh once more, and he bucked his hips, whining into your neck as you whispered in his ear.
“Good boy, Satoru.”
“My lady?”
A sharp ringing pierced through the serenity of your still, quiet mind.
“My lady, are you there?”
No, not the voice you wanted to hear. Not Satoru’s voice.
“My lady! You must wake!”
You blinked, sitting straight, waking to a bed still balmy with warmth and arousal. Sticky messes trailed from between your thighs up to your chest.
“What time is it?” you called out, horrified to hear the scarred mess that was tumbling from your throat.
“Three in the afternoon, my lady,” your advisor shouted back. “I did not wish to disturb your rest, so I returned later. However, this is quite—”
The rest of his complaints faded into the buzzing in your ears. Three? In the afternoon? I couldn’t have slept that long. I haven’t slept at all in…
Satoru’s silhouette flashed behind your eyes.
What was going on?
When you, the daughter to one of the most prominent houses in all of the empire turned thirteen, an assassin snuck in and slit your throat.
It was rumored to have been the very concubine whose child now called you elder sister. You would never let him carry that burden, that guilt.
And now, you spent your restless nights keeping yourself occupied with thoughts of a lifetime, tending to your garden, or brewing tea.
Sleep would not come to you.
So how had you slept so deeply last night?
“Listen,” Shoko insisted, drawing your attention and thoughts back to her. “That butcher is extraordinary. I can count on a single hand how many nights were as magical as that one.”
“Magical,” you echoed, “is that so?”
“How about handing him over to me?” she suggested. “Name any price, my friend, and I’ll give you double.”
“I might let others borrow that which is mine,” you warned, “but I do not give them away.”
“Of course, of course.” Shoko shook her head like she could ever come close to understanding it. “You would rather destroy something of yours than hand it over.”
After all, there was a reason no one dared to touch that which was yours.
You knelt before the pedestal, the image of your late mother staring back at you. Her eyes had always been cold, words crueler.
When she died, her hand reached for your cheek.
She did not comfort you. Did not wipe your tears.
Your mother rested her hand and told you, “Your father never loved me. And in the end, he will never love you, either. Nobody will.”
That wasn’t what you wanted to hear.
“Mother.” You met her eyes through the portrait. “In this godforsaken place, I have found one who cares. Amusing, as he comes from the lowest of all my collections. When even you could not protect me…”
The thin wood snapped under your fingers.
“My lady. I have brought your infusion.” Your advisor bowed, carrying a tray with a cup of the most horrendous tea you had ever tasted in your life.
“I’m told it is stronger than the last?” you confirmed.
“Yes.”
“Thank you. You may leave, now.”
You brought the bowl to your lips, preparing your throat for the dry, bitter swirl.
“My lady.”
“Is that you, Satoru?” You lifted your eyes. “Come in.”
“My lady, I—”
His eyes widened as he saw your lips brush against the rim of the cup. With what time you had to blink, he crossed the threshold of the door and swiped the bowl out of your hands.
“My lady, please do not drink this.” Satoru brought it to his nose, dragging a long inhale before shaking his head. “It has been tainted.”
“Oh, my sweet. That is precisely why I must drink it.”
The smile on your face did nothing to combat the horror on his.
“My… my lady?”
“I can see you don’t understand.” You grasped the bowl from his trembling fingers, unable to stop you. “If I drink this and live, I’ll tell you myself. If I die, ask my advisor.”
The taste of poison was a little sweeter when Satoru held you in his arms, sweet voice calling out for his lady. You slipped into the darkness like a tear for the sea.
When you woke, it was to a clear mind.
Drinking poison to stay alive. How pathetic. You’d laugh if it weren’t so horrible.
“My lady?” Satoru asked quietly as you blinked up at the still ceiling.
“Ah.” You folded your hands over your chest. “I survived.”
“Why…” he murmured, swallowing. “Why would you do such a thing?”
“There is a bounty on my head,” you said simply. “Assassination attempts are common. Yet I wonder, why are you here?”
“The medicine…” He shook his head. “I needed to stay by your side and watch over you.”
“You… protected me?”
“Yes, my lady. I shall protect you. A person is defenseless when they are asleep.”
Not quite. You reached out for the collar of his robe, pulling him down onto the ground to lie besides you.
“Please rest, my lady,” he insisted, even as you burrowed your face into his chest, into the smell of sunshine, eternity and earth.
Maybe you… will save me.
Shoko tipped the glass back, the curve of her neck cascading with her seventh drink of the night. But she had always handled it well.
Even now, with her flushed cheeks, she managed to make coherent thoughts.
“Where is Satoru, anyways?” Save for her words, strung together and choppy, she maintained excellent posture, eyes rapt and alert.
“I think he is with a client,” you mused, nursing your first glass.
“Aw,” she whined, planting her hands on the ground. “I’m too late.”
“Yes.”
“Ah, by the way,” she said suddenly, perking up, “I ran into Sug—”
“I’m leaving!”
The door slammed shut in the room across from your mother’s quarters, where you and Shoko had taken refuge from your advisor. The woman storming from the room fumed, face flushed, robes askew.
“What happened?” you asked, standing to greet her.
“My lady!” She spoke with respect, yet her tone was pitched octaves far too high for your ringing ears. “That butcher! I came because Lady Ieiri had preached of his talents, but he can’t even get it up!”
“Can’t get it up?” you echoed.
“Huh?” Shoko slurred.
“In any case, I’m leaving,” she blustered, pulling her robes up and stomping out of the estate.
“Shoko, leave,” you said quietly, turning back to the room where Satoru was.
“Huh? Why?” she whined. “I have to be alone, again?”
Your advisor found her quickly with her loud complaints. He even sent her home, without a word. The entire estate avoided you until the moon was at its peak. Perhaps they could sense your displeasure.
“I heard you failed a client, Satoru.”
The man in question bowed, shame painting his ears, face lowered to the ground.
“Why?” You crouched in front of him, robes spilling in front of his curved form. “You had no problem getting aroused for me.”
“That’s because... it is you, my lady,” he said simply.
“So you’ve become attached to me, is that it?”
Satoru didn’t answer at first. Just nodded, swallowing thickly.
“Please…” he said, softly, “please punish me.”
“Punish?”
Your fingers found the mess of his hair, pulling sharply back to expose the slant of his jaw, tilting upwards to you.
“Your tongue. Show me.”
Satoru’s lips parted and you pressed yourself into him, teeth grazing, almost as if to devour him whole. His eyes softened, body relaxing.
That was when you sank your teeth into his tongue.
Not too deep, just sharp enough to leave blood dripping into his mouth. And instead of reacting to the pain, Satoru keened back into your touch, even as you retracted.
“From now on,” you began, running the ruby of his blood over your teeth, “I will watch. So look at me when you need to become aroused. After all, you should prove your worth to me, no?”
Satoru blinked, panting, crimson dripping from his lips.
“Yes, my lady.”
You watched the conversation from the shadows.
Yes, indeed, Satoru admitted affection so easily. Even now, he flushed to himself as his fingers brushed against his tongue, soothing the sting of phantom teeth.
And yet your eyes, glassy in his reflection, were still entangled in the gaze of another. Everyone was forbidden from speaking his name. Shoko was the lone exception to the rule.
Suguru Geto.
A old flame, perhaps. Rekindled by the sparks of hatred as your swords clashed in a field where blood ran thickly into the dirt. Even thicker was the loathing in his eyes as he regarded Satoru calmly.
He was always quiet in all the ways that truly mattered.
Suguru stood there, silent, plum robes rippling over his frame, hair pulled back into an elegant twist pinned at the nape of his neck. Stray strands fought to escape with the wind, escape from the tension pricking at his glowing skin.
“You there.”
Satoru turned, glancing over his shoulder, a hand lying dormant on the flank of the rumbling cow.
“Are you going to slaughter that cow? Have you reported it to the governor’s office?”
“I do not know,” he replied, calm as ever.
“Failure to report the slaughter of an animal is illegal.” Suguru stepped forward, waning the distance far too much for your liking. But you remained still. “The lady certainly has spoiled you.”
“I’m not sure what you mean.”
“It’s quite clear, in the way you speak to me without bowing your head.” Suguru raised an eyebrow. “Leave the cow. I will register—”
“I cannot,” Satoru cut in. “I must finish what my lady asks of me.”
Suguru’s eyes flashed, then, faintly. Perhaps shock, that a mere butcher would speak down to him.
“‘My’ lady?”
“Not yours.” Satoru’s eyes sharpened. “Mine.”
There was a moment of silence, then. You pondered what Suguru’s face was doing.
“Do you know, I was her first?” he remarked suddenly, unprovoked. Simply for the love of the truth that you found yourself loathing less and less with every day you spent apart.
Satoru lifted his head, unbothered. “And I will be her last.”
The tip of Suguru’s sword, but a mere extension of his arm, grazed against Satoru’s neck. You had always seen it as the tips of his fingers, even now as they brushed against the column of the other man’s throat.
Satoru didn’t fight back. He simply let the other man push him onto the ground, dust caking his clothes. Suguru’s foot found the plane of his stomach, pinning him down, a smirk playing at his lips.
“From your attitude, I expected more,” he drawled, pressing the tip of his foot a little deeper into the skin as Satoru hissed at the contact, “but this is pitiful. Perhaps I should put you out of your misery and make it so that you cannot join us on the hunt?”
Yet his fingers restrained. It was unlike him to hesitate.
Perhaps Suguru had noticed you, earlier. Perhaps that was the sole cause for his little show. Because his eyes showed no concern nor shock as your sword swept mere inches from his eyes, parried by his own blade.
You pulled the conflict away from Satoru, pulling himself up from the ground, eyes reverent as they wandered over your dancing forms. Suguru was skilled with a sword—his talents spread through the empire.
But you were always better.
His blade clattered against the ground, dirt and metal making an unlikely pair as you forced him further back.
“With those skills,” you said, “how do you expect to protect Her Majesty, Suguru?”
“How can I win against you?” he replied calmly. “You’ve always been a match for a thousand warriors.”
The flattery was pleasing, at a time. Before it was thick on your skin and suffocating with the promise he held in his eyes.
“And yet you dare to make a disturbance in my home?” The sun glimmered off of the blunt side of the blade.
Suguru brushed it aside, deftly avoiding the blow. “Indeed. That butcher has quite the attitude.”
“That would be because I spoil him.” You smiled, eyes dripping over the way that spot between his eyebrows creased. “I ask for your understanding.”
As if the needle pressed between his chest weren’t enough, you decided to wedge it further.
“Satoru,” you called, “come here.”
“Yes, my lady.” His hand came up, absently, to brush dust off of his clothes as he wandered towards you, confused.
“As his master, punishing Satoru is my responsibility, no?” You asked, not bothering to wait for a response as you tilted your head back, fingers curled around the back of Satoru’s head, tugging at his hair. “Open.”
On command, he parted his lips, exposing his healing tongue. You didn’t have to look to see the lack of surprise when you bit back down into his tongue, pressing your lips back to his.
“I believe this is appropriate punishment,” you crooned, pulling away for a moment to glimpse Suguru’s expression—crestfallen, the sun beyond the horizon.
Satoru’s eyes remained locked onto yours, save for the flit of them to the man spanning the distance of years upon years of regretful love.
When their eyes met, the world took a breath.
It was like seeing light for the first time. You opened your eyes, that day.
“Do you know that man, Satoru?” you asked that night, twirling a strand of your hair through your fingers.
“I am… unsure, my lady.” His jaw ticked, a mere second in the time of his truth. “He feels familiar. Who… who is he, to you?”
“Why?” you mused. “Are you jealous?”
“He expressed affections for you,” he muttered, crawling a little closer from where he was perched in front of you. “I… I did not like that.”
“What did you say to make such a quiet man mad?” You had witnessed the conversation, true—but your main intent was to hear it from his lips.
Satoru flushed. “I… called you mine, my lady.”
“Is that so?” You raised an eyebrow, feigning faint surprise.
“I assumed that since I am yours, you are also mine,” he explained quietly, lips ghosting just a breath from your skin. “I apologize, my lady.”
You stifled a laugh. “You are too cute, Satoru.”
He let out an unsteady breath, finally allowing his lips to press soft, chaste kisses to the skin between your neck and shoulder. “Am I truly?”
“Whimpering like this for me, yes.”
“I would like to be cute for you.”
You pulled his face back up towards yours, pressing your lips to his, tasting blood where his tongue darted against yours.
“Doesn’t your tongue hurt?” you asked, pausing to take a breath.
“You could bite it off, and I would thank you,” he replied, hushed, nipping at your bottom lip.
His forehead was warm, flushed already as you pushed him away, refusing to relent just yet. “I see disciplining you is pointless.”
“If this is my punishment for misbehaving,” he murmured into the shell of your ear, “then I shudder to think of my reward if I was good for you.”
“Wouldn’t you like to find out?”
“The government has decreed that you were absolutely debauched,” Suguru argued, spine straight as the slant of his brows pulled together. “Why, after so long of being compliant?”
“Me? Compliant?” you scoffed. “You truly never knew me, then.”
“With them,” he corrected, slender fingers scrubbing down his face. “I trust you keep out of trouble, only to hear that you are massacring a village the moment I turn my back.”
“I did not ask for you to watch me,” you snapped. “You are the one who arrived at my doorstep threatening to harm my advisor’s family if you were turned away.”
“That man believes truly anything I say.” That smile that fluttered across his thin lips used to fool you into nodding along to whatever he said.
That was before that smile stole your first kiss. Your first time.
“Perhaps that is—”
“Wait,” he cut in, narrowed eyes zeroing in on your skin, “your throat. Did you truly manage to get hurt? Are those battle wounds?”
You pulled at the fabric, displaying the handiwork of Satoru’s desperation to prove that he was good last night blooming rosy and lush across your skin.
“Is that what they look like to you, Suguru?”
His lips pursed, earlier smile slipping from his grave expression. “Do not test me.”
“It shouldn’t bother you,” you continued, tugging the sleeve of your robe up, “especially considering that you were the one to end things.”
“That was because—”
“Yes, we do have responsibilities,” you finished, “so I repeat, Suguru, why are you here?”
You would be lying if you said you didn’t like the distress pressed into the corner of his mouth.
“That man…” he mumbled. “Something feels strange about him.”
“That would be jealousy, Suguru,” you chastised.
“No.” Suguru swallowed, hard. Now this—this was new. “I fear I have seen him somewhere. I… I know him. In my soul.”
You blinked, then shrugged, like the very implication of his words hadn’t sent shivers down your spine. This was going to be interesting.
The day of the hunt. The very day that you had made excuses to weasel out of, until the tension with Suguru mounted to a point where he refused to speak to you since that incident.
Which served as a problem, since your advisor was currently fumbling with the navigation. His brows pulled together, lips twitching as he mumbled something to himself, eyes darting around the trees crashing into one another.
Satoru walked alongside your horse, refusing one of his own. Your advisor would make a fuss if you dismounted, but he was busy with the maps.
You slipped off of the side of the steed, accepting Satoru’s hand as you hiked the fabric past your ankles.
“You must save your energy, my lady,” Satoru began to fret.
“If you will not ride, neither will I,” you replied simply.
After a few more minutes of wandering along the path, you pulled your advisor back by the ear and sent Satoru off into the forest to scout. That was primarily so you could threaten the man’s family in peace as he cowered under you without Satoru getting turned on in the middle of the forest.
And he would never admit it, for he would never complain to you, but he missed the fresh air. You could see it in the way his muscles, wound with tension, uncoiled like freed snakes. Satoru missed his home. He was the tiger’s son, after all.
The grass, moist under your fingers, twisted under your weight as you laid out on it, ignoring your advisor’s protests of ruining the silk. You were due for a new robe—why not enjoy your quiet respite in the forest?
The peace was quickly interrupted by the slick sheen of an arrow passing through a bow—a sound and technique pricking your ears from childhood. You sat up, peering in the direction the sound had come from.
Your sword glissanded from its holster with a sharp hiss, only to your ears as you crept up to the clearing. In the dizzying sunlight, you caught a writhing mass upon the ground.
You caught the distinctive white that came with its opposite black, the absence and presence of color entangled in the grass. Soft pants could be heard, and from this angle, you could not discern what they were doing.
You shifted to the side, curious.
Suguru was pinned to the ground, a feat you had never managed, as he always preferred to dodge your advances. But Satoru’s palms were planted on either sides of his head, threaded through the inky strands of his hair.
And yet the most surprising aspect of it were their eyes.
A galaxy spared between a blanket of sky captured in Satoru’s and the velvet whispers of Suguru’s, searing and dripping from their eyes, cooling quickly enough to create threads of sweet, fragile stars twinkling between their bodies.
Satoru panted, softly, sweat forming a slight sheen on his forehead.
Suguru reached out, up to the heavens to brush cloudy hair from starstruck eyes. His lips formed a silent question, mouthing, “Who are you?”
The sereneness was interrupted by a bird fluttering back to the sky, conveniently perched on the tree you were managing to lean against. Satoru’s head snapped in your direction as Suguru pushed him off, trying to manage a scowl and failing.
It should have been strange. You should have felt anger. Envy. Hatred.
But instead, heat was pooling between your thighs like it was the most natural thing on the earth. As if watching two men holding gazes and feeling something from it was completely normal.
You grinned, unfazed. “Well, don’t cease this on my behalf.”
It seemed the two of them made a conscious effort to absolutely loathe one another the next few times you caught them spending time together.
Even when you watched from the shadows, their earlier affection was nowhere to be found. Only impertinence woven into their words.
Satoru stood a good distance from a wooden target, struggling to string the arrow. Suguru tapped an impatient beat on the ground, raising an eyebrow.
“It seems you are just her pet, after all,” he sighed. “Good for nothing more.”
“At least I am of some use to her,” Satoru shot back. “She only tolerates you on the grounds that you refuse to leave the estate.”
“I thought all butchers were skilled with the bow and arrow?” Suguru jested.
The white-haired man ducked his head, glowering. “I was never given the chance to learn.”
Suguru simpered. “Who is useful, remind me?”
“Do you plan on teaching me or not?” he snapped.
You had never heard your beloved pet speak to anyone in such a manner. It was… enlightening, in a way. It bought you time—time to think of all the ways you could twist this into your hands.
Suguru still had not apologized. Perhaps it was time for him to receive all the agony he caused you over the years.
That evening, Satoru got on his knees. He leaned towards you, but you grasped his chin instead, forcing him to look up at you.
“You understand, Satoru,” you said, “you were supposed to take clients.”
His mood immediately soured. “My lady—”
“I refuse to hear it.” You blinked down at him. “You are taking a client today.”
The sapphire of his eyes dimmed. “Will you watch?”
“Yes. You will only ever take one client from now on. Suguru.”
An unnamed emotion flickered across his face, softening the frown puckering at his brows. His bottom lip quivered. “I…”
“What?”
“I have never…” A rosy glow suffused his cheeks. “I have never done it with a man before. I am afraid, my lady.”
“It did not seem like you were afraid of him this morning,” you drawled, pressing the heels of your feet together.
“You… you witnessed that?” If it were possible, he flushed a deeper shade of crimson.
“It was hard not to. The two of you flock attention like moths to a flame.”
If they were anything like they were in the sparse moments you had caught them alone together, away from the eyes of the world, they would be fine. Satoru did not argue. Then again, when had he ever argued against anything you said?
Suguru arrived a short moment following your heavy silence. The door slid open—what a heathen, refusing to knock or announce his presence.
“You called for me, my lady?” No use with the title after his impudence. You couldn’t help but smile at the thought of him receiving all his dues upon this one fateful night, and he was completely, blissfully unaware.
“Please sit, my fiduciary advisor,” you mocked. “Although, I do wonder why you must house yourself in my estates to take this title.”
“If I did not take residence here, just about any other could claim me as their advisor.”
“Perhaps I would like you to be claimed by another,” you teased.
His eyes met Satoru’s, first, before they sliced back to you.
“Pardon?” he asked, swiping a hand over the back of his neck.
You rested your cheek on your open palm. “This is not a request. It’s a performance. I shall take audience. Unlike our last untimely meeting, make this worth my time, Suguru.”
You had expected a shameful flush, stammering and attempting to rectify the situation.
Instead, Suguru tipped his head. “I see.”
“You seem unsurprised.”
“Perhaps I had wondered when this day would come.”
Now it was your turn to raise a brow. “Truly?”
He chuckled, low in his throat. “Truly. I just did not expect to be handed the script.”
Satoru remained quiet through the exchange, jaw working, something like respite in his eyes as Suguru met them once more, gentler.
You reclined into a room humming with unspoken tension.
They held their gazes for a moment that brimmed with much that you couldn’t catch between the passing of their eyes before Suguru’s hands were reaching for his neck and their lips pressed together furiously.
And it felt… even better than it should have. Better than that day in the forest. Better than the thoughts of watching this, because it was truly happening in front of you.
Satoru’s fingers were already tangled in Suguru’s hair, tugging just enough to make him smirk against his mouth. Their kiss was slow, deliberate—heat and hunger and the best of the two men. Suguru’s hand slid beneath Satoru’s shirt, knuckles grazing skin you knew stretched vast distances, and Satoru shivered, eyes never leaving you.
Breath caught somewhere between your ribs and your throat, you watched as Satoru broke the kiss first, lips slick, eyes dark. He turned his head just slightly, enough to meet your gaze.
“You are truly watching,” he murmured.
Suguru laughed. “Did she not say that?” he asked, thumb brushing against Satoru’s jaw. “That is the point. You do not wish to disappoint your lady, do you?”
And yet for all his talk, it was Satoru’s hand that dipped lower, teasing the knot of the other man’s pants, hips shifting in response. The same slender fingers that pulled at said knot, unfurling silk against thighs that flexed as Suguru pressed his palms against his chest.
Suguru’s cock pressed against his thigh, rigid against Satoru’s hesitating fingers. He swallowed, throat bobbing, but Suguru just caressed his cheek and guided him downwards, to where the apex of his thighs met in a slice you could not see.
Much like how they sunk into your wet heat, Satoru drew his tongue over his trembling fingers and pushed the first two inside him easily, eyes tracing over the sly smirk curving Suguru’s lips.
“You were speaking so highly before,” he whispered, his own voice quiet enough for the pin-straight eeriness of night to seep through, “and yet you cannot manage a single word now, can you?”
Satoru swallowed, dazed, entranced on the steady descent of his fingers. “M-My lord—”
“Ah, so it’s my lord, now,” Suguru continued, trailing a finger down the quivering jawline of the man hovering over him. “Do you see this, my lady? It seems I have tamed the tiger.”
“Not quite,” you replied, shifting Satoru’s attention through half-lidded eyes still glued to the sight.
"You are beautiful for a man,” Suguru mused, drawing splintered cerulean eyes back to him, “when you are like this, especially. You can give me another, can you not?"
Another finger joined the first two, and yet Suguru seemed unbothered. It was Satoru hissing lowly at the contact, teeth bared, heat and urgency and the soft rhythm of his fingers stretching the other man open.
“Do I feel like her?” he asked, breath hitched, spine arching as Satoru’s fingers worked deeper, precise in his torturous cruelty. “Like your lady?”
“… N-No, my lord,” Satoru replied lowly, “you… you are another thing entirely.”
And you found yourself liking it. No — loving it.
The way their eyes kept flicking to you like you were the center of gravity in the room. Their beings, their softness, their warmth. It all belonged to you. Every gasp, every thrust, every broken sound.
You need not touch them. No words fell from your lips. Simply your being there—watching, owning—was enough to satisfy the heat blooming across your chest.
And for a moment, you were content to keep it that way.
Yet something darted across your tongue.
“Come here,” you said, soft.
Satoru paused in unraveling the knot of his own pants, their eyes snapping to you in tandem. Only but a few feet away and yet they crossed the distance before you could blink. The planes of existence tilted and crashed into one true universe buzzing at your fingertips.
You smiled. “Did I tell you to stop?”
They exchanged glances.
“But my lady—”
“The proximity—”
“Hush,” you silenced them. “I believe I was quite clear with my wishes.”
They stilled, just for a moment. The quiet stretched, thick and electric.
Then they moved again, the skill of a lifetime in lovers’ intentional movements, touching like they had been starved for it.
Satoru had never done this before. It would have been wrong for you to strip that away from him. But this—this felt natural, like the glide of lily pads atop a still lake. Their touches were innate and native to their fingers.
The need for this felt stronger than the need for either one of them, separate. One entity, much like the whole, was more than the sum of its parts.
Satoru’s pants hit the floor, fingers blending against Suguru’s hips. His cock jerked at the other man’s back, beading with dripping pearls, prodding at the rim. No fear shone in his eyes, no reflections of the nights he spent with himself between your thighs.
Only pent up frustration relieved into a single, soft sigh as he lined up and pushed in with a low, guttural sound that dissolved into the walls.
A sharp exhale left Suguru’s lips, parted with his head thrown back, fingers clawing at the ground. But even then—even with their bodies meeting at a crux nowhere near you—their eyes met yours.
Satoru whimpered, a sound so raw it barely sounded human. Every roll of his hips sent sounds spilling from his mouth. Not quite words anymore, just broken, breathless whines.
“Please,” he gasped, voice wrecked, “do not stop. Don’t—my lord, please.”
“I have no intentions of stopping,” Suguru said casually, as if Satoru’s fingers weren’t tightening into furious red crescents on his pale skin.
The cloudless sky of his eyes squeezed shut, ending entire worlds with the tick of his jaw. Unsteady breaths forced his chest to rise and fall, shallow against Suguru’s back.
He arched, letting Satoru’s cock plunge deep, unhurried inside him, composed of fluttering eyelashes and low moans, brushing stray locks of snowy hair from his eyes. Locked onto your intent gaze, then one another, swimming in the deepest love with every moment that passed.
“I'm so close...” Satoru whined after a few more intentional draws of his cock inside, “you will break me—I can't take... take it—"
“It seems you are still able to speak properly,” Suguru cooed, “so I understand that you can take it."
“Ohhh, my lord, mmph—I cannot," Satoru gasped as Suguru's legs locked around his hips, lithe muscles twitching, "I… I will… ohhh, I will cum—"
“What a messy mouth on you, Satoru,” he mused.
Satoru absentmindedly brought the broad side of his arm to swipe at his mouth, wiping his glistening lips.
“I-Is this… better—hah—my lord?”
You enjoyed it more than if he was directly touching you. It was something of the way he unraveled under Suguru’s touch, something completely misunderstood. You merely felt the connection, especially when the man reached up to cradle your face.
You tilted your head as he pressed his lips against yours, a low groan splitting the silence even as Satoru steadily increased the pace of his hips. A keening whimper tore from his throat at the sight of your fingers brushing Suguru’s hair behind his ear.
“Do you like this, Satoru?” you mused, glancing up at him. His bottom lip was caught between his teeth, face flushed a shameful hue. “Do you enjoy watching me kiss him?”
“N-No—”
“What did I say about lying?”
“… Yes, my lady.” The moment it left his lips, he seemed infinitely lighter, leaning forward to press his clothed chest against Suguru’s back. “I-I like it—oh—I truly do.”
Suguru inclined his head back, letting Satoru meet his lips urgently, as if he was able to taste you on his lips. Ivory on pearls looked quite nice, you thought.
Your fingers danced down Suguru’s side, lips quirked as they curled around his leaking cock. He blinked up at you, reverent, eyes blown in a silent question—is this truly happening?
There was no need for you to answer aloud. Just the action of pulling him back in, other hand prying at Satoru’s lips, tongue inviting and warm around your fingers, was enough to convince him to flutter his eyes shut.
“M-My lord,” Satoru mumbled around your fingers, tongue lapping at the taste like there was ever one, “may I please? I-Inside?”
“Whatever the—ngh—lady wishes,” he managed between your chaste kisses.
“I—I can’t,” Satoru gasped, burying his face in the curve of Suguru’s neck. “I’m close—my lady, please…”
“Only my good boys get to finish,” you said. “Are you good, Satoru?”
He nodded frantically, eyes glassy, lips bitten raw. “Yes, my lady. I’m yours.”
“And you, Suguru?”
His voice was a rasp, broken and nearly as gone as his eyes. “Always.”
“Then show me,” you whispered, nodding to the white-haired menace gripping at Suguru’s curved back, fingers scrabbling for purchase as he pounded further, deeper.
Satoru’s cry was muffled against Suguru’s skin as he came, trembling, undone. Suguru followed moments later, his body shuddering, coating your fingers in webs of white that matches the strands of hair plastered to Satoru’s neck.
You reached up, brushing a strand of damp hair out of his quivering eyes, fearful as he retracted, cock hanging low and throbbing to the pulse of his heart.
But Satoru didn’t stop there, eyes flitting low, to the pearly mess smearing from between Suguru’s thighs. The other man caught his gaze, a smirk playing on his lips.
“Look, you’ve made a mess,” he crooned. “Clean it up, will you?”
Satoru lowered his head, as if trying to mask the heat of excitement behind false shame as he grasped Suguru’s skin, parting to lick a long stripe over the stream of slick pooling at his entrance.
“God, you’re filthy,” you chuckled, even as his eyes flashed with something vague and completely unwavering, tongue feverishly dipping between strands of white, his own cum coating his lips.
“Apologies, my lady, my lord,” he hummed against Suguru’s inner thigh, tongue darting back to lap at the remaining cream oozing from pale skin. “I didn’t intend to make a mess.”
“I think…” Suguru exhaled. “I think you have done enough. I am tired.”
“Oh? You have tired the great Suguru Geto?” you mused. “Well done, Satoru.”
Satoru whimpered at the praise, eyes fluttering shut. “Thank you, my lady.”
Suguru’s jaw ticked, eyes narrowed, yet not in simple feigned annoyance.
“You’re jealous,” you said, not bothering to look back at him.
“I’m insulted,” he corrected, “for you watched me fall apart and instead offer him comfort.”
You tilted your head. “Would you like comfort, Suguru?”
He did not answer right away. But his eyes—those eyes—burned.
“We did not… lay our hands upon you,” he said finally.
“Only my good boys get to touch me,” you answered softly.
Satoru stirred, lifting his head from your lap. “Am I good, my lady?”
You smiled down at him. “Yes.”
Suguru’s voice followed you out of your trance. “And me?”
You didn’t look up. “You’ll have to earn it.”
It became a regular occurrence after that night.
Every so often, you would look up from the reports and see Suguru’s expression softening into a smile. And every time you turned your head, you would see Satoru gazing at the two of you fussing over fiduciary issues.
Even if he was completely oblivious to the tension, you soon found out he did not tolerate the slightest sliver of hate for either of you. It should have come as an unwelcome surprise, but you were not completely cruel.
So instead, you pressed a finger to his protesting lips to silence him as Satoru mingled near a few of your advisor’s men—they always spoke too loud. Words that would most likely fall on deaf ears, as you could not be bothered to occupy yourself with reprimanding them.
Satoru had no such qualms.
Suguru was only here to hear what they spoke of him, after all.
“Lord Geto has no business lingering here for the time he has,” one of them blurted out. “Does he have nothing to spend his days doing? Of all the estates to pick…”
“He has grown close to the lady and her… butcher,” someone said cautiously. “I am beginning to think her taste in men is… quite strange.”
“Perhaps she has finally snapped,” the first one reasoned. “It would explain—”
The man never finished his sentence. He was on the ground, pleading for mercy under Satoru’s foot before he could even think to complete the thought.
“I can hear you whispering under your breath,” he warned, resting his hand atop the leg pressed against the man’s back. “I have very good hearing, you see? Be careful what you say—a slave mustn’t curse his master, after all.”
He moved his foot. Suguru shifted under the tree, his body brushing against yours as he leaned forward to get a closer look.
“Don’t you see?” the man choked out after a cough, “she’s replacing you as her pet—”
This time, Satoru had no reason to pin him down with his foot. There was a dagger singing through the air to do that for him, forcing the cowering man back onto the ground.
For a moment, you thought he would truly stab him. It would have been an absolute hassle to handle—your advisor would have been furious.
But instead, he stilled, the blade brushing against the man’s neck.
“I once killed a man, for my lady,” Satoru whispered, almost too quiet for the two of you to hear. “I would do it for my lord, as well. They would be angered, but only if they come to hear of it. It causes me to wonder what it would take for a loud man such as you to die quietly.”
Satoru backed away. Evidently, his message was pressed in the worried lines of all the other men bowing their heads before scurrying away.
Suguru’s lips parted as Satoru caught your gaze, immediately perking up and crossing the distance of the field to approach.
“I apologize for having not noticed you, my lady, my lord,” he said, dipping his head in cadence. “I would have conducted myself better if I had known—”
“Forgive that, I quite dislike that man,” you replied, resting your head against his chest. “You should have ended his life.”
“Shall I finish the job?” he asked, craning his neck to scan the field. “I am sure—”
“No, no,” you muttered. “Too late now. And my advisor would have my head.”
“You would have his head before that,” Suguru pointed out.
“Oh, hush,” you snapped. “Who asked you?”
“Suguru, do you not have something to say to the lady?”
“Ah.” You had never seen him so… unsettled in all your life. If anything, Suguru Geto was a composed man of his fraying morals and questionable sanity. “Indeed.”
“Well?” You raised an eyebrow after a moment of earth-shattering silence.
“I… I was wrong.”
Just the admission sent your heart fluttering. You stood straight off of Satoru’s chest, turning to regard him with your full attention.
“Our… my responsibilities should not have been an excuse to stop loving you.” Regret pooled in the heavy shards of amethyst that met yours. “I mourned the loss nearly every day. I am sorry.”
“How long have I waited to hear those words?” you asked aloud, tapping a finger to your chin. “Perhaps I should make you wait nearly as long as I did.”
“Your sword would be more a merciful death,” he drawled.
“You are forgiven,” you mused, “yet the question lingers—why not return? Why say this now, after so many years?”
“It was you,” he replied, but he was no longer speaking to you. Instead, his eyes were fixed to the man standing behind you, always a distance spanning someone else’s body. And yet this time, you found yourself not minding. “You are familiar to me. You make me do things that I would have never dreamt of otherwise.”
“I told you she would not be angered,” Satoru said haughtily, lifting his chin.
“Ah, so you were conspiring behind my back.” You shook your head. “I should have both of your heads for that. My punishment shall be swift and merciless.”
“You will enjoy her punishments, my lord,” he added.
“Is that so?” Suguru took a step forward.
For a moment, the delusive prospect of a promised future sept into your soul. And in a twin breath and shared grins, they melted away all your doubt.
The sun had fallen from its perch in the sky long before you had started. Tipping back another drink, the haze in your eyes did nothing to cover the concern in the two mens’ eyes.
“My lady, perhaps you should stop here,” Suguru suggested.
“I do not understand.” Satoru frowned. “What is happening?”
“She’s drinking…?” Suguru blinked. “Have you never drank a sip of wine in your life?”
“That simply can’t be!” you giggled and handed the bottle of rice wine over to him with shaking hands. He accepted it, of course he did, but with wary eyes.
“What has it done to you?” he whispered.
“The lady cannot handle her alcohol very well,” Suguru replied.
“The lady most definitely can!” you snapped. “The lord happens to be a lightweight.”
“Lightweight?” Suguru pursed his lips and snatched the bottle away from Satoru, pouring himself a drink with much steadier hands. It disappeared with the bobbing of his throat and the admission of your lie—Suguru had always handled it better than you had.
Even now, the light of his irises only shimmered as twin drops of lavender in the reflection of Satoru’s wistful eyes.
“Now you,” you commanded, edging the bottle back along to him.
Satoru swallowed. “Must I?”
“Your lady demands it,” Suguru teased.
You did not expect him to grasp the bottle so tightly, nor wrap his lips around the edge and start downing it in one sitting. Yet neither of you could find it in you to stop, only collapse into one another in laughter.
When there were only crimson speckles at the bottom, Satoru pulled away with a gasp, blinking, bleary-eyed. The bottle thudded against the ground as he regarded the two of you.
“That was vile,” he said suddenly. “How can you stand that?”
“I happen to prefer red wine over all other drinks,” you said sweetly. “Father used to say it was the mark of a true noble.”
“I would prefer to be a butcher if it meant staying away from that…” Satoru shuddered.
“Perhaps we have found the true lightweight of us three,” Suguru mused.
Five drinks later, and clothes had been discarded all along the floors. The house slumbered with the sereneness of tension uncoiled, and yet tension was all that was lingering in the air between the three of you.
“Let me give… give you a child, my lord,” Satoru whispered suddenly, “please.”
“Are… are you speaking to me?” Suguru glanced over his shoulder, where the other man was staring down at him with half-lidded, unrecognizable eyes. “Satoru?”
“Yes,” he answered, far too quick, words slurred. “Please. Will you allow it?”
“I cannot…” Suguru’s voice cracked into a laugh. “This cannot be happening.”
“Are you denying me, my lord?”
“How would that would work?” It seemed Suguru was open to entertaining the idea, even as his lips quirked in your direction.
Satoru’s hands found their home on the crest of the man underneath him, the swell of his hips. “A child. Right here. I never miss my target.”
“That wasn’t what it looked like with archery,” you teased from your perch, nursing yet another bottle of wine.
Satoru’s eyes shot to yours. “Then, will you, my lady?”
“What?”
He had never approached you, during this. Always a respective distance, spanning Suguru’s body, and you were content with it that way. Perhaps you enjoyed it more.
But it would never hurt to find out. Especially when Suguru crept behind you to cage your body in his own, fingers running over your pebbling nipples, and Satoru crowded between your thighs with a gaze of a man that was dangerously ruined.
“Let me give you a child, my lady,” he repeated against the plush skin of your thigh, “please.”
“Or would you like me to do the same?” Suguru’s lips ghosted your neck. “My lady.”
“Is that a challenge?” Satoru lifted his head from where it was inching to the apex of your thighs.
“Why not?” Suguru rested his chin on your shoulder, locking eyes with him.
Perhaps you should have stopped them there. It was never a competition between the two of them—or at least, it was never meant to be. Yet you were too far to be saved.
Satoru’s tongue lapped at your folds, dragging it, measured before pressing against your clit. If not for Suguru’s gentle hands cupping his head, your thighs would have closed in him.
Suguru’s own lips left searing bruises blooming over your skin, over the old ones Satoru gave you before. His hands occasionally drifted past the space to roll the peaks of your nipples between his thumbs, his other fingers tracing the prominence of your collarbone.
He brushed against the scar painting a thin rivulet across your neck.
“You are safe,” he whispered at your immediate tensing, “for we will keep you safe.”
“Is this good, my lady?” Satoru panted from between your thighs, hips rocking against solid ground as you nodded down at him, relaxing. His whimper broke off as he lowered his head, tugging the flat of his pink tongue up your drooling cunt until it kissed your twitching clit.
Your lips parted in a moan as you pulsed around his tongue, arousal laving against his face, nearly drowning out Satoru’s whines. The silence stood loud around his soft pants.
“Well?” Suguru asked, breaking the quiet. “Do you plan on standing there forever?”
Satoru blinked, jerking out of a trance fixated on the slick dripping from your pussy. “No, my lord.”
This time, there was no fear in his eyes as he held your hips with a reverence that could only be exemplified by the push of his tip against your wetness. His eyes darted from where he was disappearing inside you, to your eyes, to Suguru’s lips against your neck, as if he could not pick a single spot to fixate on.
Satoru leaned forward. “My lady? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” you managed, nodding, “keep going.”
Suguru parted your thighs with one hand and a slight burn that coiled in your stomach, as his other hand gripped Satoru’s chin and pulled his gaze down.
“Eyes down here,” he mused. “Watch what you are doing to your beloved master.”
Satoru set a steady, almost maddeningly sedate pace, his hips rolling in a deep, grinding rhythm that had your back arching over Suguru’s chest. He kept his eyes locked, electric, on the way your walls fluttered and clenched around him, trying to draw him in deeper.
“My lady—” he cried softly, as you took him in even deeper, by some magical means.
"You are so good to me," you whispered, leaning into to brush your lips against the shell of his red-hot ear. "So patient and gentle. You can cum inside, if you’d like.”
“Give her a child, Satoru. Mhm, you’d like that, wouldn’t you?” Suguru continued, threading his fingers in damp strands of milky-white.
Satoru’s eyes widened and his hips stuttered from where they were pressing against yours, losing his rhythm as his orgasm suddenly crashed over him, forcing him to bury his face into the crook of your neck.
"Oh, thank you—god—thank you s-so much, my lady," he whimpered, his cock throbbing hard inside you, twitching as it shot thick ropes of hot cum inside you.
Suguru curled his fingers around Satoru’s chin, tilting his face to press their lips together insistently.
“But a shame.” He smiled, pulling away. “I hate losing.”
Before the world could right itself and you could recover from the stars sprinkled across your vision, Satoru was tossed behind you, hands wandering. Suguru was pressed between your quivering thighs like he had always belonged there. Greedy fingers pried at the gaping hole of your pussy, streams of pearly white dripping down your folds.
“You smell so sweet,” he groaned against you, breath heady. “I am not a wasteful man, my lady, do not fret. I shall swallow every last drop of this creamy load before giving you my own.”
His tongue curved, lapping at the mess, swirling yours and Satoru’s cum into his mouth and swallowing without hesitation.
With a final, long lick that had you shuddering, Suguru pulled back, lips glistening with a wicked grin. He paused just long enough to settle between your thighs, the thick head of his cock nudging against your slick entrance.
"Let us make good on the past, hm?” he asked softly before he surged forward, burying himself to the hilt in one powerful thrust. Unlike Satoru, he gave you no time to adjust, immediately setting a brutal, punishing pace, hips slapping against yours.
When you tilted your head back, you expected Satoru’s face to be alight with horror. But instead, the back of his hand was pressed against his mouth as if to mask his expression, heady eyes lidded, skin flushed as his chest rose and fell against your back.
Amidst it, Suguru leaned down to kiss Satoru over your shoulder, brushing ivory hair behind his ear. “What’s wrong, Satoru? Do you like this?”
The other man shook his head frantically, but he didn’t need to offer a lie. His cock was already hardening, proving his pitiful attempt futile, twitching against your back. Suguru turned his velvety gaze back to you, the arch of his back hitting spots inside you that sparked flames behind your eyes.
“Surely mine will take,” he mused, lips hovering mere inches from yours, “as you seem inclined to milk me dry, my lady.”
You let your head rest on Satoru’s shoulder, forcing steady breaths through your lungs. Suguru’s hands slid down to grip your thighs, fingers neatly sinking into the soft flesh as he pulled your legs up and over his shoulders.
The new angle allowed him to drive into you even deeper, the head of his cock now pecking at your womb with every thrust, hot silk wrapped around his aching cock.
“Suguru—” you moaned, wanton against his soft groans.
“Come now, my lady,” Suguru purred, “you need only give the word.”
“Please.” Your fingers reached up, scrambling for purchase on the smooth planes of his skin. “Just—oh, god—do not make me ask twice.”
“I would not dream of it,” he chuckled, resting a flat palm over where the outline of his cock pressed against your stomach, eyes flitting back up to cerulean blown out in awe. “After all, the lady always gets what she wants. Isn’t that right, Satoru?”
“Y-Yes, my lord,” he replied quietly, swallowing thickly.
The rhythm of his hips refused to cease as he drove himself into you, chasing his own release as your walls fluttered around his cock. Your nails scratched down his back, nearly drawing blood as he buried himself into your wetness fully.
With a breathy moan escaping his lips, scalding ropes of thick, potent cum painted the inside your spasming cunt. Suguru’s hips made small, gentle circles, his semi-hard cock still buried deep inside you, peppering your face with soft, sweet kisses.
“I could stay like this forever, inside you,” he whispered, “you feel too good to leave.”
Suguru tilted his head past your ear, pressing his lips to Satoru’s in a deep, lazy kiss, groaning lowly at the contact. His cock slid against your back, slick with precum, a whimper slipping past their entangled tongues.
"Mmm, kiss him like that," you moaned softly, “show him what that filthy mouth can do besides talking.”
Suguru scoffed against his lips, but Satoru was too far gone. Eyes glassy, hips rocking faster against your soft skin, grinding with his palms planted on the ground.
“You f-feel sooo good—oh god, mmph—p-please, I n-need to cum s-so badly,” Satoru begged, whining at the contact as you met his thrusts, his leaking cock twitching against your back.
“Already?” Suguru smirked. “It’s only been… five minutes, Satoru.”
“My lord, I can't... I c-can't—hah—” Satoru choked, his voice breaking on a strangled sob. His chest rapidly rose and fell with the crest of his shallow breaths as his milky strands of his seed painted your skin, coating your lower back and the curve of your ass in a sticky, pearlescent glaze.
As the last weak spurts of his release dribbled down your back, Satoru leaned forward, resting his head on the arc of your shoulders as Suguru murmured soft nothings in his ear.
“So you have won,” he admitted, lowering his eyes. “My lady… she will carry your child now?”
Under the assumption that he had done absolutely nothing to stop it but watch, you pressed his fingers to your lips, quirked in a smile.
“Ah, so you have not yet told him,” Suguru said, eyes alight.
“Told… what, my lord?”
“I cannot conceive an heir, Satoru,” you replied. “Have you never wondered why the people of the estate speak so low of me?”
Satoru blinked. “You… cannot?”
Suguru laughed. “Enlightened, you say?”
You swatted at his arm. “I’d like to see you admit something, then.”
There was a brief pause as you watched the slant of his jaw work, the light behind his eyes flickering in thought.
"We could stay lost in you,” he said suddenly, louder against your challenge, almost like a declaration for the waiting world, “drowning in your touch, your scent, your taste. Admission enough for you, my lady?”
“You speak as if we will die soon,” you mused, shaking your head and resting your palms on his chest.
“One day… I would like to make love to you, my lady, with the lord,” Satoru said tentatively, nearly shamelessly save for the crimson flush of his cheeks, his fingers trailing the bridge of your arms up to Suguru’s broad shoulders. “Properly, with the two of us inside you.”
“What a dirty fantasy,” you replied, leaning back to accept a kiss from his reverent lips. “Perhaps tomorrow. Tonight, we rest.”
“We?” Suguru echoed.
“Where else would you sleep?” You smiled. “Away from me?”
Somehow, Satoru had heard your mumbling of night chills and Suguru’s agreement. He then proceeded to refuse to let you rest without dressing the two of you properly.
So with silk robes sliding against blooming skin, Suguru perched himself behind you, letting your head rest against his chest while Satoru sprawled out with his head in your lap, fingers curling at the plush of your thigh.
That was how your advisor found the three of you the next morning, sun peeking through the shifting door. He blinked, then slid the door closed, telling the maids not to disturb the lady as she slept peacefully for the first time in months.
While you dreamt, it was more so simply thinking.
You saw yourself in the two of them. Time aged you. Or experience. The case stilled to a single reflection upon dappled water, in which you gazed into azure and mauve eyes. Yet one thing remained constant in all the universes flashing before your eyes.
When Suguru found you, you acted a lot like Satoru.
And when Satoru found you, you acted a lot like Suguru.
You recognized that much, and came to think that they saw their past love, in you, and this was merely a resurrection of a presence strong enough to transcend entire lifetimes. Perhaps it was misguided and misplaced, in the image of a past love.
And perhaps you should have stopped, there, with the false realization that they did not love you. But you knew, even somewhere in that soul that rested beneath you, that it was untrue. Somewhere along their journey, they met you separately, and fell in love with you separately.
Only with your intervention had they rediscovered their love for one another.
So, truly, it was all thanks to you. You woke to the notion that this love was reignited, a spark amidst a never ending flame, by your gentle hand. Everything shifted with something worth holding onto—the soft certainty that some flames never truly died.
And you would tend to the fire long before you would let it go out.
They spoke, of course they did. The nation did nothing, if not speak. But they could not lay a finger on your pets. In the end, they belonged to you.
Satoru on your right, always, his pearly hair tangled in your fingers with those electric eyes serene. Suguru on your left, always, ivory hair cascading down his back as he sat with his cheek in his palm and legs spread in a manner that was most definitely uncouth.
You never said a word.
After all, they would be perched at your side until the end of time.
And nobody dared to touch that which was yours.
