Haru’s Love (A Stepbrothers BL Harem) - Chapter 68
Fuck! Just fuck!
Noah had never been kissed by anyone like the way Haru had kissed him—demanding, wild, and fucking sexy. He was still breathless and dazed, and he felt just fucking amazing.
The boy had thrust him back against the side door of the car and straddled him as he kissed him, his tongue entangled with his while their lips locked.
Noah licked his lips, tasting Haru’s sweetness, loving it. Now, more than ever, he wanted Haru.
He chuckled. The boy must have learned how to kiss like that from Aiden; he had no doubt about it. He, himself, realized he couldn’t wait to teach Haru a few techniques of his own.
Sitting up straight, he raked his fingers through his hair and took in a deep breath. Once he calmed down, he got out of the car and then went to open the trunk and took out what was left of the bags of groceries. After locking the door, he headed to the elevator, his mind still on Haru.
He remembered Haru’s beautiful flushed face and bright eyes as the boy said, “Satisfied now? There, I’ve kissed you, enough to fulfill that four days.”
He was just so damn adorable. Noah hadn’t missed the fact that the boy had been turned on from the kiss either. Proof enough they were attracted to each other. But of course, Noah knew Haru was still oblivious to that fact.
When he got into the apartment, the place was, as expected, noisy. In the open-plan living area, Isaac, his friends, and Jess were playing video games. In the kitchen, Aiden and Reo were busy prepping the food.
Noah placed the bags of groceries on the countertop and then proceeded to take out the items and then put them away. As he was doing so, he glanced around the room again, searching for Haru.
“Where’s Haru?” he finally asked.
Aiden said, “He went upstairs.” He washed his hands and then headed to the door. “I better go and check on him.”
Noah was helping Reo with the food when Aiden returned a few moments later. When he saw the brother getting a pack of aspirin from the first aid kit, he asked, “Is everything okay?”
Aiden said, “Haru is not okay.” His eyes on Noah, the brother continued, “We need to talk.”
Noah suddenly felt guilty. He knew Haru wasn’t feeling well because of him. “Yeah. All right.” It was about time they get things sorted out anyhow.
After picking Aki up in one arm, Aiden left again.
Reo said, “Looks like you’ll be getting an earful from Aiden.”
Noah shrugged his broad shoulders. “I guess I deserve it.” Not that he regretted it though since that kiss from Haru was just fucking amazing.
When Aiden returned, the brother signaled for Noah to come with him. As Noah left the kitchen, Reo said, “Good luck.”
Noah raised his hand in the air. “Thanks.”
Inside Aiden’s bedroom, Noah shut the door and then said, “Right, so you’re going to chew my head off. Go ahead. I know I deserve it.”
Folding his arms across his chest, Aiden said, “So you know you deserve it. Good. Because just one more time I see Haru looking the way he did, I’ll be smashing you in the face.”
Noah raked his fingers through his hair. “I’m really sorry, Aiden.”
“Don’t say sorry to me,” Aiden said. “Say it to Haru.” He sighed. “Look, I know you’re…frustrated because of your attraction to Haru. Believe me, I know.”
Noah widened his eyes at his brother. “So you’re okay with me…liking…loving him?”
“No, I’m not okay, but I can’t go stopping you and Mason from falling for Haru,” Aiden said.
Noah frowned. “Wait! Mason?”
Aiden raised one brow at Noah. “I guess you’re too busy worrying about your own problem that you don’t see what’s happening around you?”
Noah chuckled. “Well, yeah.” He was quiet for a moment and then said, “Aiden, I would like your permission to date Haru.”
Aiden’s face was an impassive mask when he said, “And when you date him, are you going to be hurting him like the way you’re hurting him now? Because if you’re going to keep that up, I won’t allow you to stay here in the apartment, let alone you dating him.”
Noah shook his head. “Hell no, bro. I love Haru. I’ll be cherishing and loving him and…” He raked his fingers through his hair again. “Fuck, it’s hard to explain. When I see him with you and you two being intimate, it makes me jealous. I get pissy because I want Haru as my own, and I want to do all sorts of intimate things to him. When I can’t have that, my instinct tells me I have to do whatever it takes to get his attention on me, and the only way I know how is, in my opinion, to pick on him. Look, I know it’s childish and stupid, but I can’t help myself.”
“Then prove it,” Aiden said. “Prove to me you can make him happy. Be nice to him. Treat him like a princess. If you can do that and he’s happy, then I’ll consider allowing you to date him.”
Noah frowned. “Aiden, you’re not Haru’s father. You don’t have that kind of authority over who he can and can’t date.”
Aiden raised a brow. “I know I’m not his father, but I’m his boyfriend and the eldest brother in the family. I have that authority. Either suck it up and follow my rules or leave.”
Noah inhaled deeply. Fuck!
“All right, I’ll behave,” he said. “But don’t expect me to be obedient like a pup because I won’t be. Just so you know, holding myself back where Haru is concerned is fucking hard, and I’ll admit I was at my breaking point earlier today. So yeah, I’ll be stealing a few kisses there and there.” He narrowed his eyes at the brother. “And for fuck’s sake, stop flaunting how desirable Haru is when we’re around. It’s fucking hard to watch. That means stop fucking Haru so often. It’s pissing me off, and I bet it’s the same for Mason.”
Aiden suddenly burst out laughing. When he managed to stop, he said, “I see. So it’s partly my fault. Me flaunting how desirable Haru is and my relationship with him. I’ll do my best to lessen my intimacy with Haru for the next couple of weeks. You have that time to prove to me you can make Haru happy. Then I’ll consider talking about us sharing Haru.”
Noah shook his head. “You’ll consider? Seriously, bro? No way. I’m only asking you for your permission for decency’s sake. I’m telling you now that I want Haru, and I’ll have him whether you approve or not. However, I’ll do as you say for now. I’ll prove to you that I can make Haru happy.” He sighed. “Shit, we’re talking about this as if Haru has already agreed to us sharing him.” He looked troubled. “What if he doesn’t want to be shared? What if he doesn’t want me?”
Aiden chuckled, looking damn smug, which pissed Noah off. Just because he knew for a fact that Haru loved him, that bastard.
“Not my problem there,” Aiden said. “It’s your job to make him want you, isn’t it?” He walked to the door. “Now, we need to get the food ready before the others arrive.”
“Yeah,” Noah said and followed Aiden out.
