The Escort

The Escort Chapter 4



Koji woke up and quickly sat up, looking at the clock. With a sigh of relief he realized that he hadn’t overslept, it was still five in the morning. He felt a slight stirring in the bed and looked over in surprise to find a very naked man lying sprawled out on his belly in Koji’s large bed. Blinking, Koji tried for a minute to clear the sleepy daze from his mind. As the fog cleared Koji remembered the previous night and a blush crept up his checks.



Koji lay back down on his side as he studied the still sleeping escort. Last night had been a night of surprises and firsts for Koji, and since he had limited his alcohol he remembered every detail. The night had far exceeded his expectations with the unique café, the exciting club, and of course the passionate sex. Never before had Koji had such a good time or had a more relaxing evening. Shinta, in the few brief encounters that Koji had with him, had made more of an impression on him than anyone ever had on Koji, including his wife of six years.



Koji’s eyes drifted over the sleek body next to him, examining it for the first time in the still darkened room. Shinta’s golden tresses hung down the right side of his neck, leaving the face that was turned to Koji fully exposed to him as he ogled the man. The escort looked younger as he slept, his red lips slightly parted as he steadily breathed deeply. Koji had never noticed before how long the man’s lashes were, always too distracted by the vivid shade of seductive green they were now easily visible with his eyes closed. The business man’s eyes traveled down the man’s exposed body, noticing the wiry muscles that were very apparent when he held Koji but seemed impossible for such a willowy man. Shinta’s very round backside made Koji wonder what it would be like to be on top of Shinta, even though he wasn’t sure if he was really willing to relinquish his own position on the bottom.



Koji felt more than a little troubled by his very strong attraction to the alluring man sprawled out next to him. Shinta was an escort, something that Koji often forgot and tried to put out of his mind when he couldn’t forget. Koji was playing a very dangerous game that ultimately could hurt him in a way that he had never experienced before. The practical business man and geeky robotics nerd had never fallen in love, and now he was faced with the real possibility that he had now. Koji grunted and rolled over, trying not to think about it, not wanting to ruin the weekend that had just started.



He felt a very warm hand caress the middle of his back, moving lower to fondle his exposed backside as he felt biting kisses on his neck. Koji moaned softly, forgetting his depressing thoughts, letting the physical sensations take over both mind and body. Pushing back into the exploring hand he felt the little aggressive love biting move onto his shoulder.



"Yes, Shinta more," pleaded Koji, wanting to get lost within the feelings of the other man’s expert touch, and not caring about how embarrassing he sounded.



He felt Shinta turn him over as the man moved down his chest, leaving hot trailing kisses. Koji cried out, his body extremely sensitive to Shinta’s touch. Koji entwined his hands in Shinta’s hair, pulling him up to kiss the soft lips as he pushed his body up against the silken body on top of him. Koji felt his body surging with overwhelming desire that had seemed to hit instantly.



After a long, very deep kiss that left Koji breathless he felt the escort pull away from him and look down into Koji’s black eyes. With a wide, mischievous grin he felt Shinta’s hands move to grab his already leaking member and guide it into his hot entrance. Koji gasped in surprise as Shinta gripped in an incredibly tight, hot embrace. The raven haired man had never felt anything so deliciously satisfying before. He felt the slender man’s hands spread out over his chest, certain the hot hands were leaving imprints on his body with their heat. Shinta began to move with more force, increasing the sensations on Koji’s already overwrought organ.



Koji moaned in delight as he looked up into the smiling face above him intoxication intoxicating jade eyes that drew him in. Koji moved his hand up to Shinta’s bobbing organ and began to use fast, hard strokes on it. Shinta threw back his head in pleasure, gasping as Koji’s hand flew down his throbbing member. It wasn’t long before Koji felt his pent up passion release into Shinta’s receptive body simultaneously as Shinta released his own offering onto Koji’s stomach.



After a few moments Shinta moved off of Koji, leaning on his side propped up by his elbow he looked down at the still panting man. He felt a finger trace a path on his still damp stomach as exquisite blonde looked down at him.



"I have never had a morning like that," Koji said as began to calm down.



"You seem to be saying that a lot Koji. Why? You have a successful business and are very wealthy. Why don’t you enjoy it more?" Shinta asked idly.



"At first robotics was my passion, I felt the most alive when I was putting together a new android or designing. I couldn’t get enough of it and so I spent every moment doing what I loved. It was obvious I wouldn’t take over for my father, so when I graduated college my father retired and sold all the interest in his own corporation to help me build my dreams.



"I saw how hard it was for him to let go of something he worked so hard for all those years, even to his right hand man. I was determined not to let him down or ruin the opportunity he had given me. It was hard those first few years making the connections I needed, getting good scientists to work for me, running a business while still being a scientist, and trying to make a name for myself. By the time I had done it and my business was unshakable, well it had become a way of life. I didn’t know how to play." Koji explained, looking into his companion’s face.



"You throw your whole being into what you love," Shinta whispered softly, tracing the line of Koji’s jaw.



"Yes," Koji said simply, very afraid as he looked into the unreadable jade eyes that he had thrown himself into the impossible.



"I envy you a little. I like robotics, but I don’t love it. I like being an escort, but again I don’t love it. There has only been one thing that I have truly been passionate about, but that passion died," Shinta said softly, almost to himself.



With a yawn Shinta lay down next to Koji, curling up next to him."I don’t suppose I could talk you into sleeping a little bit more," Shinta asked, snuggling his warm body next to Koji’s. Koji looked down at the man acting so much like a cat that he couldn’t help but smile.



"That sounds good," Koji said, stroking the golden head resting on his chest. He felt a light kiss caress his chest as he closed his eyes. He was rather surprised when sleep pulled him under, given his dreamless peace (this sentence is a little confusing).



It was only a few hours later when Koji awoke again. A quick glance at the clock told him it was already ten in the morning. With a smile he realized he hadn’t slept in thisthat late since he was in grade school. Looking over at his companion that had somehow in those brief few hours managed to sprawl his whole body out on the bed, Koji decided to let the man sleep.



Quietly he slipped out of the bed and headed for the bathroom, feeling in need of a shower. It wasn’t long before the hot water was streaming down his toned body as he felt the last vestige of sleep leave his body. The clear glass door soon fogged over with the hot steam of his shower as he finally grabbed the body soap only to drop it as he felt a wet hand reach around him to caress his chest.



"Let me do that for you," Shinta whispered seductively in his ear.



Koji turned his wide eyes to find Shinta retrieving the soap from the blue tiled shower floor; his own smooth skin glistened with water. Shinta’s slim hands began to apply a generous amount of fragrant soap to Koji’s golden skin. Starting with his neck, the gentle hands moved slowly down Koji’s body, spending a great deal of time on Koji’s sensitive nipples before moving down to his flat abs.



Koji watched, almost mesmerized by the wet, naked man before him. It wasn’t long before the soft hands reached his groin, washing him thoroughly as his already aroused member became instantly hard at Shinta’s gentle touch. Groaning softly in protest as Shinta’s hand moved away from the tender area and on to his muscular legs, before movingaround behind him to work on his broad back. It wasn’t long before the slippery hands reached his ass.



He felt the blonde man spread him as he instinctively leaned over, bracing himself against the sturdy glass doors of the shower. He felt the slippery hands gently caress his now totally exposed opening as he moaned in absolute pleasure. It wasn’t long before he felt Shinta’s large member bumping against his offered ass. The over excited man felt the slippery member penetrate him fully as Shinta pinned his large body against the glass wall with his own slender one.



The hot water continued to rain down on his body as Shinta began to thrust firmly into his muscular backside. Koji cried out in pleasure at the new sensation of the wet body driving into his own, and the wet slippery hand that reached around to fondle his already overwrought organ. Pushing back against the slender man, he turned his head to feel his lips instantly captured by his lover as he continue to make smaller, quicker thrusts into him. It wasn’t long before the new sensations totally undid Koji and he felt his built up passion release, and Shinta also cried out his release, biting Koji’s neck.



Both men remained motionless as the hot water poured down on them as they tried to regain their breath. Koji turned to look at the impish look in the blonde man’s face.



"I thought I would join you. Good idea?"



"Wonderful," Koji replied, lightly kissing the man. Koji quickly helped Shinta wash up as they both began to wrinkle form their long romp in the shower. It wasn’t long before both men were drying off and headed back to the bedroom to find Koji’s metallic butler laying out his clothes.



Shinta stopped as Koji continued on for a moment before turning to see surprise in Shinta’s face. Tilting his head he wondered what had shocked the man, although he could see Shinta moving over to his butler.



"I didn’t think there were any of these models in use anymore," Shinta said as his pale hand traced the cool, silver face of Koji’s butler.



"They’re probably not, although he is the first robot I ever made. Hajime has served me for over fifteen years now. He actually isn’t Servant Android A67, although I admit I was heavily influenced by it. After all, I was only fifteen when I started construction on him. I have of course upgraded Hajime many times over the years, but I will never dismantle him," Koji said, walking over to the two.



"Hajime, this is Shinta, he will be staying here from time to time," Koji said, almost affectionately to the silver android with human features cast in pure metal.



"Very good, Koji. I am glad you have a guest," replied Hajime, turning to his master, his monotone voice inconsistent with his almost human response.



Hajime turned to Shinta and bowed slightly before looking at Koji. "Would you like breakfast this morning?"



"Yes, please," Koji nodded as Hajime started for the door.



"It was nice to meet you, Hajime," Shinta called to the retreating android, who turned and bowed again before leaving.



"He seemed almost happy for you," Shinta said as he looked at the doorway that the butler had just exited.



"Yes, I gave him personality subroutines a few upgrades ago, although he has become a little temperamental now because of them. He isn’t as human as many of the new models that have come out these last years, but I feel more of a connection to him than any of the other androids that work here. I suppose it is because I created him with my own hands, and because he has been with me so many years," Koji said going over to see what the android had laid out for him.



Shinta followed, looking at the clothing. "He does good work; did he choose your outfit last night?"



Koji shook his head. "No, he does it by what is in my calendar. Work days business suits, parties and concerts formal wear, lab days casual clothes, and so one. I didn’t have you on my calendar, so they assumed that I would be staying home after work. Hajime just assumed I would be going to the lab today, so he picked out jeans and a shirt," Koji answered, starting to dress as Shinta went to retrieve his own clothes from the small bag that he had brought.



Before long both men headed down to a breakfast of French toast, bacon and ham. Koji was delighted at the meal, since so often he didn’t have the time to eat breakfast and his favorite food, French toast. He looked up to see Shinta smiling softly at him and felt a blush rise to his cheeks, being caught in his childish delight at the meal.



"So what time do you have to leave today?" Koji asked as they sat sipping their coffee while the plates were removed.



Shinta shrugged, looking at the clock. "There is no special time, just sometime today. I will need to call a taxi."



"You could take one of my cars if you like," Koji offered, wondering what the escort needed to do.



After a few moments Shinta shook his head. "No, I don’t think I want to drive myself," the man said softly, his eyes suddenly very far away.



"I could drive you," Koji offered hesitantly. "I wouldn’t mind."



Shinta looked up at Koji’s face, his eyes unreadable as he remained quiet. After several moments he rose and walked to one of the windows.



"I didn’t mean to intrude. I just wanted to help," Koji stammered, feeling like he had offered something that made Shinta uncomfortable. He had no idea what the mysterious escort need to do, but it probably wasn’t something he would want Koji to come with him for.



Shinta turned from the window and walked over to Koji, a slight smile on his lips. With a gentle hand he ran his graceful fingers through Koji’s hair and kissed him. Koji was somewhat surprised but quickly opened to the very sensual man. Shinta eventually pulled away from him to look him straight in the eyes.



"Takamura would severely scold me if he ever knew I allowed a client to come with me, but Koji I will accept your offer," Shinta said softly stroking Koji’s short hair.



"Ok," Koji said, somewhat confused by the escort’s acceptance.



"Why don’t we go now, so afterwards we can spend sometime in town?" Shinta suggested.



Koji nodded and together they got into one of Koji’s gleaming silver car. Shinta remained silent as Koji drove into the city, occasionally looking over at the pale man who continued to stare out the window. As they reached the outer part of the city Shinta gave him directions to yet another part of the city Koji had never been to; eventually the quiet man asked Koji to pull over near a floral shop.



"I will be right back," Shinta said as he got out of the car with a slight smile and went into the shop. He returned with a single crimson rose and he got back into the car.



"We are almost there. Five more blocks up and then to the right," Shinta said, looking over at the perplexed man driving.



Koji started the car, wondering where they were going and what the beautiful escort had to do. He knew that the man wasn’t meeting another client, since he had said it was personal business, but the confused business man wondered what Shinta needed with a red rose.



Koji was surprised when Shinta asked them to stop outside of a cemetery and temple complex. Looking over at the man he wondered who Shinta was visiting, and if he should stay in the car.



"Come on Koji, if you want to. I am sure Takaumi wouldn’t mind, he was never a possessive man," Shinta said when Koji remained in the car.



Koji followed Shinta up the stairs and through the lines of stones to the one named Takaumi Honda. Suddenly things fell into place as Koji watched Shinta pray in front of the grave of the man, who Koji was sure was the man Shinta once loved.



Shinta gracefully rose from his knees to look at Koji. "Takaumi died about a year ago, he was my love," the beautiful man said simply.



"Your one passion," Koji said to himself. "Then you became an escort as soon as he died," Koji asked, surprised.



"Yes, Takaumi left me all of his estate, which was considerable, but I knew it wouldn’t be enough to complete my education and continue to support myself. He was a successful painter, but in the last years of his life he lost his inspiration."



"You mean he is that Honda? I have three of his paintings," Koji asked in surprise, looking at the grave stone again.



"Probably, I don’t know of any other painters by his name. He did create new pieces after I came into his life, but his final four I have refused to sell. Takaumi was the one who put me through college; I think he truly started painting again simply to pay the college bills.



He really wanted me just to model for him, but he also said he wouldn’t stand between me and my own life. He was always saying he wanted to see what I would become," Shinta said, smiling at the memory.



"What do you think he would say now?"Koji asked quietly.



Shinta laughed, looking atKoji’s darkened face. Shinta leaned forward and caught Koji’s hand.



"He would laugh. He always said I would make a damn fine host. He did what he wanted despite his friends and family’s disapproval. He wanted me to do the same. Takaumi was never possessive of me, although I am sure he would have objected to my profession simply because he liked to fall asleep with me near.



Koji, being an escort has always been my choice, and not because of the money. I could have gotten a part time job and gone to college, or even quit Black Heaven six months after starting with enough to finish college. I will admit, after Takaumi died I didn’t want to fall in love again, but still wanted the pleasures of the body. Being an escort gives me freedom of casual sex without the entanglements of a relationship. Members of Black Heaven are wealthy, and for the most part attractive. The criteria for membership are stringent and my clients are specialty picked for me, so there are no real surprises," Shinta said firmly, catching Koji’s eyes.



Koji blushed, realizing that it was none of his business. He after all was just one of Shinta’s many clients, but it still ached inside to know that was all that he was. He enviedy Takaumi for his place in Shinta’s heart, one that Koji didn’t have.



"You’re cute when you blush Koji," Shinta said, pulling him close for a moment before letting him go. "Today is the anniversary of his death, but I doubt that he is surprised I brought another with me. He always said that I would find another once he died, even though I protested that I would never be with anyone other than him. He knew me better than I knew myself," Shinta said with a laugh.



Koji looked at the man, surprised by his casual acceptance of his life, and the death of the man he loved. He couldn’t help but feel sadness for Shinta and wondered if the man was hiding more pain than he showed.



"Shinta, how did he die?"



"Cancer. He knew before he even meet me. Takaumi told me the first day that we met that he would die. It didn’t matter we had over three years together, and I fell in love with him knowing that our time was limited. I don’t regret it," Shinta said, his hand tracing Takaumi’s name on the stone in front of him. "Nor do I regret asking for you to be my client, Koji."



Koji stood rooted in place, wondering what those words really meant to the graceful escort standing before him so much like a sculpture of perfect beauty, as they both looked at the grave of the man Shinta had once loved.
