52. I Need More

"I'm fascinated by the the conclusion of the proposal. The higher-ups and I have agreed to submit it directly with no final editing whatsoever. Funny is, they mentioned each of those words were identically crafted by our former manager." Mun chuckled before adding. "Good job. You've made an excellent disciple. That's the first time I didn't have to edit your work."

"Thank you, Manager Min."

"Prepared to work overtime today?"

"Actually, I wanted to request if I can leave early..."

"After serving you a gracious meal on a silver plate? I'm hurt." Mun interrupted, maintaining a cheeky eye contact. He then placed the file with Rey's proposal on the table. "I presume you wish to continue with the said meal."

"Pardon?"

"You are aware I live there too."

Rey nodded tensely. "Thanks f-for that..."

"At least tell me the two of you ended your lover's spat. Conquering Ari's indecisiveness is a challenge but the hardest part is over. You seized him."

"I'm on the verge of it..."

Mun seemed disappointed. "You are Ari's predictive fall to ruin. How hard could it be?"

Rey remained hesitant, unable to maintain eye contact. If anything, he was more anxious preceding his involvement with Ari's brother. 

"Good grief, relax." Mun noticed Rey's uneasiness. "I've done much worse in my friend's house with my partners." 

'I don't doubt it, but that is not worries me.' Rey thought.

"Ari's life has been compelling and compulsive since you showed up. You may be a diligent employee, but Ari is important to me. Despite getting down and dirty for nosy neighbours to hear, you still prioritized timeliness in submitting your work." 

Rey's gaze dropped to the side, his expression openly flustered. "Manager, may I speak freely?"

Mun chuckled but didn't answer back. "It's unprofessional to keep favorites at work therefore, if anyone sees you exiting the building, the explaining is on you. Once you get back, be discreet while signing out." 

"T-Thank you Manager..." Rey stood up and repetitively gave a courtesy bow. He'd at most expected rejection but having Mun on his side was a blessing. "I'm deeply grateful Manager Mun. I promise my discretion."

While on his way, Rey felt enlivened and hopeful. When he'd left that morning, Ari had been in deep sleep, neither did he want to wake him up from his slumber. Suddeny, he remembered the pending issue that had earlier kept Ari distracted at the onset of their lovemaking. His brother, prompting Rey to stop for a moment and ponder over what to say and when to bring the topic up. There was no running away from the matter. With Ari pestering him yesterday of it, the questions would continue once he got back.

Rey's cellphone rang and his worries disappeared in an instant, followed by a delightful feeling once he saw the caller identity.

"You slept well I presume." Rey chuckled. "It's already evening."

"I noticed." Ari's response was sarcastic, followed by a brief silence before he cleared his throat and asked, "When did you leave? I-I thought you'd get a pass from Mun after I helped you out yesterday."

"Were you hoping I'd stick around today as well? Is that why you called?" Rey was sure his slight provocation would irritate Ari, but that was not what he was going for. This was probably the longest conversation he'd had with Ari, and he wanted to lengthen it. "You must have missed me."

"I'm going to end the call..."

"Manager Ari..." Rey cut in. "I want to keep talking to you." Seeking to be further catalytic, he added, "the sound of your voice excites me."

Ari remained unresponsive to the provocation. He could read Rey's actions and wasn't going to play along. 'Is this how he won over Mr. Liwaswalva twice? Or pushed Ned to his temper? Even so, there remained that pending issue with my younger brother.' "What are you doing now?"

"Walking. And you?"

"I'm famished. You worked an appetite out of me."

"I sure did." Rey smiled, glad to have their conversation flowing with ease and reciprocal tease. It all seemed too good to be true. "Then, what are you planning to do next?"

"I wish for some air, stretch my body a little... What time will you return?"

"I'm relieved to hear I'm wanted back." Rey stated as a matter of factly.

"It has nothing to do with whats going on in that perverted brain of yours. Remember you still haven't accounted for your meeting with my brother."

"I guess I can't evade the subject further. I'm equally famished, but I do not think the hunger I have refers to physical food."

"Well," 'Still stringing me along just like yesterday huh? I'll play your game.' "If you can make it home right now then you'll have all the buffet you can eat, but it's too early to leave the office so tough luck." 

"Don't tempt me."

Ari chuckled, startled by the sound of door bell. "I'm hanging up."

"Open the main door first. I hope you are ready to pay up."

"What? There is no way..." Ari was nonplussed by Rey's remark that he rushed to the door, swinging it open. He remained aghast at the sight of Rey and just as he was about clarify his remark as a mare tease, Rey had already pulled him for a deepened kiss, slamming the door behind him. He then lifted Ari with much ease to his waist and carried him off with little resistance.

Ari panicked, lost in the brief moment of passion. It was a peculiar feeling having his feet dangling in the air. He broke free from the trapping embrace and demanded to be put down but Rey would have none of it, stripping him down to nakedness just like yesternight, and his lips quickly covering the tip of his lover's member.

This was a merciless attack.

He squirmed involuntarily, feeling Rey's tongue circling him hungrily, teasing and stroking him. His body grew hot, his back arched as he felt Rey's fingers enter from behind. It felt sore yet pleasant simultaneously.

"Yes...!" Ari moaned, his honest body betraying his resisting mind but soon enough, he gave in to Rey's relentless touching, stroking, kissing thrusting... It felt addicting...! 

It was addicting.

"Enough..." Ari begged, grabbing onto Rey's shoulder and urging him on top of him. Circling his legs around Rey's waist, he reached for Rey's hardened member and raised his hips to meet his entry. "Move now... Or I will do it myself...

Agh!" Ari cried, the sudden fierceness from Rey's single thrust startling him. His body quivered, not knowing whether to feel pleasure or pain. Tightening his grip around Rey's waist, Ari urged on, unable to speak but his whimpers of pleasure told his lover all he needed to know. 

Rey's mind had gone blank from the welcoming warmth he was feeling around his member, and even though he'd sought to prepare his lover a little longer, Ari appeared to have no need for more foreplay, and who was he to deny his lover's wish? 

Calling out Ari's name repeatedly, he gave into his desire fully, and with their bodies rhythmic, the sound of hips slapping, the moaning, clenching...nothing else mattered except this moment. Ari needed him just as much as he needed him.

Their desires had spoken.

"So good..." Rey mumbled as his tongue licked and played at Ari's neck, whose head had fallen back. He appeared to be in anguish but that was quite the opposite from the words he vaguely muttered begging for more, pinning for more... 

Turning Ari to the side, Rey switched positions. With his lover in a trance, it was as if his belabour hadn't stopped; back again, moaning in unison at the entry. With Ari's back facing him, he took more control and access to Ari's frontal area. One of his hands pressed at Ari's chest while the other lifted one of his lover's legs, ingressing deeper and deeper. It had been just yesterday he'd almost missed his chance. Who would have thought they'd engage as they did yesterday night? And now? 

"Ari..." Rey huffed. "You feel so hot...I love it... I love it so much... I want you..."

"S-Slower... Aah..!"

"...I want more..." Rey's refusal to comply was captured by his increased tempo. It was only when Ari's moans grew exceedingly loud that he perceived his oncoming release. Their bodies shook, their hearts thudding chest to back: A muffled cry escaped their kissing lips, then they pulled away, gasping for air while lost in a trance of release. 

"Ari...." Rey called out gently after he'd caught on his breath. "You are mine."

"I belong to nobody." 

Raising his body to look down at a rather flustered lover below, Rey couldn't help but stare in admiration at how disheveled Ari appeared. He smiled gently, probing further.

"Are you sure? After everything we have done?"

"Are you asking me out?"

His teeth nibbling gently at Ari's neck, Rey replied. "Before that, I'd like to clarify something. Your brother is sincere. I throughly interrogated him before I allowed him access to you."

Ari frowned at the remark. "Does he know where I live?"

Rising his head to look bad at Ari, Rey's expression changed. "I saw no need to go that far. Even so, Manager Ari, having almost a sister, your brother's misery mirrors that of her's. Upon your departure, he must have begun searching for your whereabouts and ended up in your previous office. I was lucky to recognize him for I intended to stop him from looking for you, which I did vehemently. However, his persistence was consistent. We met for months from time to time and eventually, I confirmed he'd been kicked out too after taking your side."

"I still don't trust him."

"You don't have to. Just hear him out, that is all he asks."

"I don't trust you either." 'Rey showing compassion? Never. There has to be more to this.' "How could you continue to meddle in my affairs?"

Rey chuckled. "Because you're an interesting person to me."
