leaves. Kiyoshi shivered, but Liu’s grip tightened about him and the kisses on his neck became more urgent.
“I would never do anything to hurt you, Kiyo-kun,” Liu breathed into his ear as he stroked the tender lobe with his tongue. “This is for the best. Love me… trust me…” His words trailed off as he nuzzled his face against Kiyoshi’s neck.
Kuro laughed throatily, his voice already husky with what Kiyoshi recognized as lust. He felt the same feeling stir within himself as he leaned back into Liu’s embrace. Kiyoshi whimpered and squeezed his eyes shut even tighter.
A shadow passed over his closed eyelids and he felt Kuro’s breath on his cheek, oddly cold against his flushed skin. Kiyoshi stiffened in Liu’s arms, but his brother comforted him with more urgent kisses on his shoulder. He hadn’t even noticed when Liu had started to pull open his kosode front, but the hemp cloth now hung over his shoulders where Liu’s lips feverishly kissed the exposed flesh. He recognized Kuro’s touch from the lack of warmth as the strange samurai’s fingers moved over his bare chest, pinching his hard nipples and arcing down past the tie at his waist.
“Kuro-sama,” Kiyoshi moaned at the fondling caresses of the older man. He used the same honorific Liu had, afraid and drawn to Kuro though he didn’t know why. But he did love his friend, and he did trust him—more than he did anyone else. “Kuro-sama, share your gifts with me…please.”
“Please,” he let his thoughts carry the word and Kuro’s powerful voice filled his mind.
“The both of you will be my finest sons.”

Liu suddenly pulled away from Kiyoshi’s neck, tugging the young man’s head to one side as he moved. Kiyoshi’s eyes flew open in alarm and he caught a glimpse of Kuro’s leering face before the samurai lunged forward, white fangs flashing in the shadows.
Sharp teeth punctured Kiyoshi’s neck as Kuro bit down.
Kiyoshi started to cry out, but as the sound escaped his throat, Liu’s hand wrapped around his mouth. He screamed into Liu’s palm, tears of pain and fear springing to his eyes.
“Shhh…Kiyo-kun, stop that.” Liu kissed his cheek. “The pain won’t last. I promise.”
Kiyoshi clenched his fists so tightly his hands ached but then…Liu was right. It stopped hurting and became so… good .
He moaned against his brother’s hand as sensation shot through him the way it did when he and Liu…
Kiyoshi shuddered as his seed exploded into his fundoshi . He was still trying to catch his breath when Kuro pulled away and Liu pressed on his shoulder until he was kneeling before the samurai. The man’s arousal was evident and Liu bent down, whispered in his ear. “You know what to do. You need to. When you do you’ll feel wonderful!”
Kuro’s hands were already stroking the side of Kiyoshi’s face, encouraging him to look upwards into the samurai’s fierce eyes.
“You are a sweet one, little one.” He laughed, tracing Kiyoshi’s lips with a rough thumb. “Your brother is only half-right…not only will you feel wonderful, you’ll feel completely changed…” He laughed again, a dark and sensual sound that made Kiyoshi shiver.
Liu dropped behind Kiyoshi, his hands working to loosen the tie at Kiyoshi’s waist. Kiyoshi stood mutely as his clothing was torn open and Liu reached down to undo the wet fundoshi. Kuro ripped at his own

clothing. He slipped his hand behind Kiyoshi’s head and jerked him close to his abdomen.
“Take me in your sweet mouth,” Kuro purred. “As Liu did.”
Kiyoshi sucked him in eagerly, using his lips and tongue in the same ways that made Liu writhe and moan. He was a little afraid when Kuro tangled his strong fingers in his hair and plunged in and out of his mouth, but then Liu started to touch him and use his own mouth.
Kiyoshi quaked from the building pleasure his ge-ge brought him when Kuro came hard and fast
