He entwined his legs around Zero’s from the outside and gripped the collar of his shirt. Then, using the full force of his body, he flipped them both over.

Now, straddling Zero as he lay on his back, Kagura straightened up.

With his hair falling over his face, he looked down at Zero.

Zero blinked slowly, then curled his mouth into a mocking grin.

“Finally feeling it, huh?”

He spread his arms and legs exaggeratedly, lying open as if to taunt him.

Matching Zero’s large, well-built body, Kagura pressed his own dick against him, gripping them both with his hands.

―――If he’s an addictive beast, then I’ll just become one too.

Whether it was the arousal or his fighting spirit flaring, Kagura’s dick leaked steadily with pre-cum.

As he ground his hips on top of Zero, wet sounds accompanied the sliding of their undersides. Even though the sensation sent shivers down his spine, he bit his lip and continued to roll his hips back and forth.

The friction of their swollen dickheads rubbing against each other made Kagura’s body jolt.

At that, Zero’s erection twitched and writhed in Kagura’s grasp.

Feeling the thrill of dominance, Kagura’s body trembled as he traced his fingers over Zero’s thick dickhead, kneading it slowly.

Zero let out a heavy breath.

Despite lying spread-eagle beneath him, Kagura could see the tension gathering in Zero’s muscles from his arms and chest down to his lower abdomen.

―――I want to corner him.

The satisfaction of drawing a reaction from him triggered a primal urge.

Kagura pressed his finger to the slit at Zero’s soaking tip, scraping lightly with his nail over the tiny opening.

“Hng...”

A deep wrinkle formed on Zero’s nose.

―――Just a bit more.

Just a bit more, and he’d see this man’s defeated face.

He quickened his pace. His shaft burned from the friction, ready to melt any moment. Just as he held himself back and focused on breaking Zero’s composure, Zero grabbed his tie.

Kagura was pulled forward, his body tipping down. Their faces drew close.

Just before their lips met, Kagura planted his right hand on Zero’s chest, and Zero lifted his head. Hot breaths brushed his lips.

It wasn’t as if he had any special attachment to kissing.

But still, he didn’t want to. Not with this man.

Maintaining the slight gap between their lips, Kagura continued to move his hips and tease Zero’s dickhead with his left hand. On the edge of his own climax, he pressed Zero further.

“Guh...”

A thick, guttural sound rumbled from Zero’s throat.

Feeling Zero on the verge of release in his grip and against his shaft, Kagura’s chest filled with an intense thrill.

Just as Kagura was about to make the final push, his left buttock was suddenly grabbed. The rough, forceful grip threw off his rhythm.

The edges of Zero’s eyes, with their double eyelids, crinkled with a smirk.

Zero’s fingers, still gripping Kagura’s rear, slid between the buttcheeks, brushing over the tight entrance. Kagura’s eyes widened as the fingers circled, pressing lightly as if to coax him open.

But now was no time to ease up on his offensive.

―――I’ll end this right here…!

He kept his left hand and hips moving without holding back.

“...ah…”

Zero’s thick fingers pried the entrance open. Even as Kagura resisted with all his strength, they pushed in.

“St―――!”

He clenched his teeth, unable to keep from letting out a sound.

Even with the finger inside up to the first knuckle, he continued moving his hips.

“Pretty tight down here,” Zero muttered, laughing, as he twisted his finger around Kagura’s sensitive spot.

A sensation, like bursts of light, flickered in the back of Kagura’s mind.

It wasn’t clear who reached their peak first.

Both men groaned, their fluids spilling and mingling between their bodies, so thoroughly mixed it was hard to tell whose was whose.

Kagura reached back to grab Zero’s wrist and pulled his finger out. He then rolled off to lie next to Zero.

He hadn’t lost, but he hadn’t won either.

The muscles in his arms and legs trembled in the aftershocks of pleasure.

He rubbed his face firmly with his hand.

The air around him was thick with Zero’s bittersweet scent.

That scent was now completely tied to pleasure in Kagura’s mind.

“Hey, Kagura.”

Zero’s voice came from beside him.

For a second, it felt strange―――until he realised it was because he’d been called by name.

“What?”

He replied, still staring up at the ceiling.

“Why are you so fixated on the Eastern Alliance?”

“Because it’s my job.”

“If you’re with Organized Crime Division Section 2, your main focus should be foreign syndicates. There must be a reason you’d go this far to gather info on the Eastern Alliance.”

He was sharp.

But Kagura had no intention of sharing the depths of his motives with Zero.

Without answering, he got up.

“I’m leaving. I’ll contact you again. If you need anything, feel free to reach out too.”

“Just got back?”

Sanae Suguru, who had just entered the elevator in Kagura’s apartment building, held a convenience store bag in his hand.

“Yeah, something like that.”

Only a few minutes ago, he’d been with a man, engaged in something as intense as it was surreal. Yet now, in the familiar surroundings of his apartment, it felt almost unreal. Still, the lingering warmth clinging to his core wasn’t fading, even in the cold December air.

“Huh?”

Sanae twitched his nose like a small animal as he leaned closer.

Under his coat, Kagura’s dress shirt was still stained with the scent of his and Zero’s fluids. He braced himself, wondering if Sanae had picked up on the smell.

"Are you wearing cologne?"

“...”

Having left immediately after his rendezvous with Zero, Kagura’s clothes must have picked up that faint, bittersweet scent.

“Oh, I see. So that’s what it is,” Sanae said, looking pleased with his deduction.

“You put it on for a date, didn’t you? I’m relieved to see you have that normal side, too, Kagura.”

The elevator doors opened. As Sanae exited on the fifth floor, he turned back toward him, bowed slightly, and said, “I’m off, then. Good night.”

When he reached his own apartment upstairs, Kagura dropped his coat in the hallway and headed straight to the bathroom.

He showered thoroughly, washing his body with care. But even then, he couldn’t completely rid the lingering scent of Zero from deep in his nose.
