Hugo's lips deliberately hardened. His upright waist and nape also became stiff like an ice wall.
His tongue tip revealed between his lips slowly traced the inside of his cheek. His gaze bleakly looked down at the blonde hair fidgeting around his neck.
"You..."
A lowered voice with a title rather than a name. Though he should have been tense at the reversed atmosphere, Leonardo didn't care. He shook Hugo's disheveled navy tie left and right, pulling it halfway off. He also unhesitatingly unbuttoned the top button of the fixed shirt with one hand.
The thick neck that had been trapped in the collar rose and fell with breath as it welcomed liberation. The prominent parts swayed seductively, so Leonardo couldn't resist and kissed them with a pop.
"...."
His Grace's uncomfortable breathing settled low. No, perhaps he was excited. Actually, either way was quite sensual and appealing. Though he seemed unaware of it himself.
As he trembled soaked in pleasure with unfocused eyes, the breath touching his ear murmured quietly.
"Satisfied?"
There was bitter laughter as if dumbfounded. Leonardo panted excited breaths instead of answering. Even so, he embraced His Grace's well-shaped waist.
Our Grace said it was his first time helping another.
'What to do, when the first experience is like this.'
Leonardo's head heated with thrillingly pleasant imagination.
Though the area under his eyes was flushed red, only then did he pretend to be kind and soothe his partner.
"...You're doing well."
Satisfaction filled his voice suppressing moans. It was truly enjoyable that a man much larger than him played along to his will. The problem was not knowing the appropriate line yet, not knowing enough about each other.
As he persistently sucked with pops, reddish marks formed. A kiss mark on that upright neck—it felt like leaving footprints on freshly fallen snow.
Satisfaction filled him as if he had carved his mark on an existence he couldn't dare covet.
Unlike his lower body engaged in lewd acts, a bashful smile leaked from his lips. Leonardo leaned his head on the man's broad shoulder. The thumping heartbeat, large and heavy like its owner, made him happy thinking it was because of him.
Hugo stared at that face that even looked pure as if dumbfounded. However, the play was brief.
"Ah—!"
A cool hand came to the hot nape. Fingers entangled in his hair forcibly pulled him away.
"Had enough fun?"
Leonardo, whose head was suddenly tilted back, was held by the firm grip and raised his chin while gasping for breath.
When he looked up at his partner with thinly opened eyes, the shadowed eye corners were fierce. Unlike the act of soothing his member, the touch was quite rough too. Wondering 'Is he angry?' he quietly read the atmosphere like a beast caught by the scruff.
However, he soon recalled that this man was weak to him. The face that once pretended to be indifferent, deliberately trying not to reveal that fact, also crossed his mind.
Soon he looked down at his partner's precariously taut front. Leonardo, confirming his true feelings, chuckled.
"We enjoyed it together."
Hugo's eyes crumpled. Where did he learn such vulgar speech...
Tsk, clicking his tongue, he pulled out the loose tie hanging from his neck. With a rustling sound, the drooping fabric caught on fingertips.
Was a man undoing his own tie such an erotic act? Leonardo blankly stared at that dry yet sensual movement.
Waiting to see what he would do, a classic use soon came to mind.
"Going to tie me up?"
Hugo didn't answer the question mixed half with certainty and half with puzzlement. Instead, he held the end of the fabric and pressed his body against Leonardo's.
So you like this kind of thing. Swallowing internally, Leonardo hid both wrists behind his back. He hesitated a bit since he wasn't particularly into restraint. But if this person wanted it, once wouldn't be... bad either.
But what if he covered his eyes instead of hands? It was when he was unfolding his fantasy.
"...?"
When he reflexively looked down, the necktie reborn with magical power had become a silk snake slowly burrowing between his legs.
Leonardo, whose lips slightly parted, blankly stared at the navy fabric writhing in the darkness.
The end of the knot that decorated the finale drooped over his convulsing thigh. Like a ribbon on a gift box.
"...."
Leonardo's earlobes, blankly staring at that humiliating sight, ripened bright red. Beyond imagination, his thoughts momentarily stopped.
"You..."
"I don't need to squeeze directly."
"Perverted bastard."
His unfiltered inner thoughts flowed out completely. Leonardo gritted his teeth and contorted his eyes at the unfamiliar treatment.
Swoosh—
The flashlight's beam crossed through the room. It swept through the darkness quickly and delicately like a prison watchtower. One of the two-person team tired from repetitive work looked around appropriately and moved on. The memo in his hand had room numbers written in order.
The member drew two lines through D-97.
There were three assigned lines total, and he was finishing checking the last line.
Seven doors remained to search up to D-114. However, after opening about fifty previous doors, there were absolutely no traces of intruders.
It was when he was about to just pretend to search and pass by, thinking this would be the same.
"Is anyone there?"
The other member holding a flashlight took a step forward and asked into the air.
The senior who was about to pass by stopped and looked back puzzled.
"What, is someone there?"
"Not exactly... but I feel some presence."
"Presence? What presence?"
The senior who also lit his flashlight entered the dark interior without hesitation.
"If you ask someone hiding, will they answer? Turn on the light."
"Currently all power is being drawn to the ground, so individual rooms except corridors need the circuit breaker raised in the central management room."
"Ugh, troublesome."
Grumbling, he illuminated the dust-covered shelves with light. Full of miscellaneous items, this place seemed to have been used as storage.
There were many items but they were packed so densely, and with only bookshelves against the walls, there didn't seem to be anywhere to hide.
'Doesn't seem like anything's here...'
Thud—!
At that moment, a dull sound rang as if something had collided with a door or partition wall. Not this room, but it seemed to come from next door or across. The distance wasn't very far.
The two members who held their breath made eye contact. Without anyone going first, they killed their footsteps and went outside.
