Chapter 9 - Vol. 1: Haru To Aiden - 9

Aiden

Aiden watched Haru go, his eyes on the boy’s slender back. He didn’t miss the fact that Haru had finally built some muscles either, since he had last seen the boy naked, which was six months ago.

Had it really been six months ago that he had seen Haru nude? Ah, yes, that’s right. It had been when he had happened to walk in on the boy after a bath. And there was Haru, completely naked.

Now that he thought about it, Haru did indeed look like a Shrine Maiden, especially with his dark hair wet and clinging to his face and his pale skin glistening pink from the hot bath. Of course, the alluring image had triggered some alarming sexual desire on Aiden’s part, which had caused him countless nights of sleeplessness and numerous wet dreams.

Yes, Haru’s body looked more toned now, firmer, like he had finally grown into a fine young man. He wasn’t so boyish like he used to be. Well, he was eighteen now, so of course his body would mature into an adult, which both pleased and scared Aiden shitless.

It pleased Aiden because Haru was so delicious to look at, but at the same time it scared him shitless due to the unwelcome desire that seemed to be mounting daily. So much so that he knew it’d drive him insane one day if he lost control.

Suddenly, the sight of Haru naked came into his mind once again, and Aiden felt his body heating up in the most unwelcome way.

Shit! He was fucking turned on by Haru with nothing on but a towel wrapped around his waist. Then there was the wet black hair clinging to his face and the droplets of water beading on his pale skin. To say the boy was beautiful was an understatement.

Aiden sighed, knowing he was in deep shit.

Noah said from across the room, “What’s wrong? You sound like you’re missing out on something fun.”

Aiden flicked his eyes to his brother. “Shut it, Noah.”

Reo chuckled. “That was a sight to see, wasn’t it? That’s the Shrine Maiden charm for you.”

Aiden glared at Reo. “You two are enjoying this, aren’t you?”

Noah relaxed back against his chair and grinned. “It was entertaining seeing you lose your cool.”

Reo nodded. “Choking on your own drink just because your beloved was walking around half naked.”

Aiden raked his fingers through his messy hair as he said, “I think it’s because he has other things on his mind, that’s why he’s absentminded.”

“Whatever it is that’s on his mind, it bothered him that much for him to walk around the apartment naked? Honestly, if he continues to be thatabsentminded outside this apartment, he’ll get attacked by creepy old men for sure,” Reo said. “He’s so clueless.”

Noah asked, “Do you know what’s bothering him?”

Aiden wasn’t going to spill the beans. After all, he knew Haru didn’t want the other brothers to know about his unrequited love. He said, “Personal stuff.”

Reo said, “Boys at that age, it must be love.”

Aiden raised his eyes at the stepbrother. “How do you know that?”

Reo shrugged his broad shoulders. “Weren’t we sickly in love with some hot chicks around his age, too?”

Noah nodded. “Yep. Every one of us. Even you, Aiden.”

Aiden had to disagree with that one. He didn’t remember ever being sickly in love with any hot chicks when he had been eighteen or nineteen. Nope. Zero. Nada. Although he had always gone out and dated one girl or another. He accepted that he had always had strings of girlfriends attached to him since high school, even after the deaths of their parents. Well, even more so after their deaths because it had helped him forget about his painful life.

The sex. That’s right, the sex especially had helped him forget about his difficult, excruciatingly lonely circumstances because of the loss of their parents. After all, he had loved them dearly since they were a pair of strong pillars in his life. Of course, the girls were just there to relieve his loneliness. As for love? Had he ever loved any of them? No. He didn’t think so.

Aiden said, “I’m going to shower and then sleep.”

Noah raised a brow. “Oy. Oy. You haven’t answered my question yet.”

Aiden chuckled. “I’m not at liberty to answer, Noah. If you want to know, ask Haru yourself.”

Reo nodded his head. “Ah, that means you do know what’s bothering that rascal, but you refuse to tell us.”

Noah chuckled in amusement. “I see. You’re keeping Haru to yourself, again. How cunning, Aiden.”

Reo grinned. “I’m guessing he’s confided in you about his love, am I right? Come on, tell us.”

Aiden ignored his brother and stepbrother as he turned on his heel. “I said I’m not at liberty to tell you two anything. If you want to know, ask Haru yourself. And by the way, don’t stay up too late.”

“Got it,” Noah said.

“Good night, Aiden,” Reo said.

“Night,” Aiden replied as he left the room. A few moments later, he was in his bedroom gathering his pajamas. As he was doing so, he heard both Noah and Reo heading into their own bedrooms across the hallway. About ten minutes later, Aiden was in the shower, taking his time enjoying the cool sprinkles of water caressing his skin.

Naked, Aiden was a total hunk with firm, toned muscles everywhere. Broad chest and shoulders with long muscular arms and legs, and of course, six-pack abs. The handsome man raked his fingers through his wet blond hair as he raised his gorgeous face toward the oncoming water. He sighed deeply.

“Fuck!” he swore under his breath. The alluring image of Haru naked and dripping wet with water came to his mind again, and he felt his cock responding.

He glanced down, and sure enough, his man root was already hard and rising like a steel pole.

He sighed again. This was definitely sick. He was aroused simply because he was thinking of his own stepbrother. A very pretty one at that. One almost every gay man would want to fuck.

Was he any different from those creepy old men who stalked Haru? he wondered. No, of course not. Since Haru had turned eighteen, he too wanted to fuck the boy, and it was driving him nearly to the brink of insanity.

And now? Haru had revealed to him that he was in love with a girl. A very gorgeous one at that. How the fuck was he, Aiden, supposed to react to that discovery except to show his support? Yes, that was all he could do as the reliable stepbrother, even though deep down he was so fucking jealous and envious...

Shit! He was a grown adult. So why was he having these sorts of emotions? He should be more in control of himself and his emotions.

Yes, he should just forget about this sickly desire and move on. All he needed to do was to find himself a girl and have a one-night stand to relieve his pent-up frustration.

But first, he had to deal with this stupid aroused cock that seemed to get forever bigger the more he thought about Haru.

He reluctantly wrapped his hand around the engorged organ and started rubbing. His cock was hard and hot. He groaned deep in his throat as he imagined Haru’s hand touching him, rubbing him and, God forbid, kissing, licking, and sucking him down there.

Oh, fuck! He was going insane for sure.

“Haru...” He whispered the boy’s name under his breath lovingly, imagining Haru’s pretty face and smoky eyes staring up at him passionately as he took him in the mouth.

“Oh, God...” he growled lowly. He was going to come soon. Fuck, but it felt so good.

He rubbed himself harder and faster, and it wasn’t long until the enthralling image of Haru on his back, spreading his legs out for Aiden to insert his cock into the boy’s tight little ass, came into his mind.

Oh. God. Fuck.

Aiden came, and he felt his body shuddering with ecstasy.

He leaned against the wall, his head in a daze as the shower continued to sprinkle on him. He licked his lips as he thought about Haru. Fuck, but he felt so guilty for doing something like this. Yeah, he was sick, all right.

About five minutes later, after he had thoroughly cleaned himself, he stepped out of the shower, dried his body, and donned his pajama pants and T-shirt.

After drying his hair with a towel, he gathered his dirty clothes and was about to leave the room when he noticed Haru’s pile of belongings sitting on the floor. He bent down and grabbed them. He noticed that, apart from the dirty garments, there was a pair of clean jeans as well.

Heading out the door, Aiden headed toward the laundry, and after putting both his and Haru’s clothes into the washing machine, ready to be washed tomorrow morning, he then came out into the hallway. There, he was about to head toward Haru’s bedroom when he paused.

Shit! What the fuck was he doing? Only moments ago, he had been masturbating while thinking about his stepbrother, and now, he was about to barge right into the boy’s room. And all for what? Simply because he wanted to return this pair of clean jeans?

Yeah, right. The jeans were an excuse. But damn, Aiden didn’t care. He wanted to see Haru, even if he was going to be disturbing the youth in his sleep.

Though he felt guilty as hell, he headed toward Haru’s bedroom door nonetheless, and once there, he knocked. “Haru?”
