The Escort

The Escort Chapter 6







“How is Mrs. Oshimaru?” Hajime asked as Koji shut the door to the guest bedroom.



“Sleeping finally, although she is far from ok. Her father was the only family she had left, I imagine that is why she came here as soon as she heard,” Koji said with a sigh moving his fingers through his midnight hair.



“How did he die, if I may ask?”



“Apparently he shoved a young girl out of the way of a oncoming car and got hit. Aya will be staying here until the funeral at least. If you would Hajime see to her comfort there is something I must do,” Koji said with a determined air.



“You are going after Shinta,” Hajime’s monotone voice stated with certainty.



Koji nodded and started to walk away, only to feel a cool metallic hand on his arm stopping him.



“He’s at the main inn of Black Heaven. I heard him give instructions to the driver, and matched the directions to computer files on your terminal,” Hajime stated.



“Thank you Hajime, I don’t know what I would do without you,” Koji said with a slight smile before striding down the hallway to the stairs.



Koji exited the house to find Hajime had anticipated him and had his silver limo pulled out front with his android driver waiting for him. He guessed that Hajime had thought him in no condition to drive with so many different emotions and thoughts swirling around inside of him and he really couldn’t disagree.



The human looking android dressed in the finest clothes fit for a chauffeur opened the door for Koji and before long was driving towards Black Heaven’s main house. Koji stared at the window determined to get the golden haired man back. It was all a misunderstanding that Koji was sure could easily be solved if Shinta would only listen to him. The trouble was that Koji didn’t know what to say or how to say it.



He had never mentioned Aya to Shinta and had not even really thought about her, yet now it seemed like a huge lapse. Aya right now need him and even though he didn’t love her in that way he still cared for her. He wasn’t sure exactly how to explain it all the Shinta without seeming like he was choosing Aya over Shinta, or trying to hide her from the man.



Koji played the conversation over and over again in his head trying to get it right as the car sped its way toward the Black Heaven Inn. By the time the car had pulled to a stop Koji’s mind was at a total blank but it didn’t stop him from exiting the car when the chauffeur opened the door.



Walking into the main inn of Black Heaven he was greeted by a stunning ebony robot that Koji recognized as a customized sex android that his own company produced in limited quantities.



“Mr. Oshimaru, I’m sorry you were not expected tonight. What would you desire?” a soft sultry feminine voice asked.



“Shinta, I require him,” Koji said firmly.



“Unfortunately Shinta is unavailable. Come to the central room where you can choose another,” the android said soothingly walking out in front of Koji her white floor length dress swirling around her as she glided down a red carpeted hallway.



“No, I have come here for Shinta and no other,” Koji said firmly. “Reset value 987568 initialize.”



The android stopped suddenly and turned to Koji her black eyes whirling with streaks of white.



“Where is Shinta?”



“He is with Mr. Takamura,” came a monotone voice devoid of any of the seductive properties it once held..



“Where?” Koji asked impatiently.



“At the end of the hall in the central room. The first door on the right,” the android answered as she stood perfectly still.



Koji turned and sprinted down the lush hallway and pushed into the central room to find a number of beautiful men and women engaged in cards, drinking and quietly talking to one another in groups of twos or threes. Scanning the large circular room he saw the first door and went to it immediately to find it locked. Without thinking he began to pound on the large black door drawing the curious stares of the people in the room..



“Shinta come out of there. I know you are in there come out,” called Koji through the thick wood totally ignoring the spectators behind him.



The door was immediately opened to find a tall broad man with large muscles and light brown eyes looking down at him with a frown. He crossed he arms in front of him looking very formidable in his black business suit and his shoulder length chestnut hair pulled back from his strong square face.



“Shinta is unavailable. I believe Ebony informed you of this. You of course will be issued a full refund for your weekend plus the recompense fee as well. We are very sorry for this horrible breech of contract and would be willing to provide another more suitable escort for you to finish out the remainder of the weekend,” the large man said pleasantly as he bared Koji from the door.



“No, I wish to speak to Shinta,” Koji said trying to see passed the man.



“As I have stated that is impossible.”



Koji looked up at the polite but determined face knowing with absolute certainty he was going to get nowhere this way. Clenching his fist he threw a straight punch right into the square face in front of him. The man staggered slightly total shock spreading a crossed his face as Koji slide passed him into the room to see Shinta’s pale face staring at him.



“Are you out of your mind?” Shinta said looking at Koji.



Before Koji could reply he felt a hard hand grab his shoulder turning him around to see the impassive face of the man he had just hit. Koji pulled away from hand using his well built body and put his hands up preparing to fight. The muscular business man knew that he was no match for the powerful man , but he knew that he had to try. Before he could land a blow Shinta slipped in between them.



“Stop it! Koji leave, there is nothing more to say and Takamura isn’t someone you can beat,” Shinta said softly his green eyes unreadable.



“No, not until you listen to me. We were going to talk if I remember correctly,” Koji said firmly looking directly at Shinta.



“I wasn’t thinking straight Koji. Your wife brought me back to my senses,” Shinta said stiffly.



“Look you two, I’m not going to get in between a lover’s spat,” the man said his light brown eyes sparkling with humor as he looked between the two men. “Just tell me when you two make up. Right?” the man said as he headed for the door.



“Takamura, wait,” Shinta called only to see the man firmly close the door behind his retreating back.



“Shinta,” Koji said closing the distant between them only to feel the man’s open hand hit his face hard.



“Leave now,” Shinta said firmly.



“No, I will not. Aya is my EX-wife we haven’t been married for a year now,” Koji said.



“Koji I was your escort nothing more you do not own me any explanation,” Shinta said turning his back on the dark haired man.



“Is it standard practice to slap your clients?” Koji asked still feeling the burn of Shinta’s hand on his face. “You have already admitted that I’m more than a client to you, and I have already told you how I feel.”



“This is ridiculing Koji, You already have a life, you don’t need me in it. You have a wife, a career that you love, and wealth there is no room in your life for me,” Shinta said in a firm voice still turned away from Koji.



Koji looked at the man frustrated at the slim back firmly faced away from him. He had already told Shinta Aya wasn’t his wife but the man seemed to ignore him. His wealth had nothing to do with them being together and although he was a workaholic he could already feel that part of him changing.



“Shinta what do you want from me? What do I have to do to get you to look at me?” Koji said in a tight voice.



“Leave that is all I want from you.”



Koji quickly closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around the tense man from behind holding him tight despite his struggling. Leaning his head against Shinta’s shoulders he could feel tears welling up inside of him despite his resolve.



“I can’t leave and you know that. I will never give up on you. I have never loved anyone before and I don’t want to lose this,” Koji said softly.



“How can I believe that Koji? How can I believe you when you lie to me so very easily? You are married, you had to have loved her,” Shinta said still half heartedly struggling.



“I’m not lying to you Shinta,” Koji said/



“Koji just leave, I don’t want this pain,” Shinta said finally pulling away his firm voice gone as his desperation began to crack through.



Shinta stood before him anger and sadness warring on his face his usually calm exterior gone. Koji cursed himself for the poor timing of Aya’s visit and himself for not explaining more to the man. He saw no hint of forgiveness in the man’s eyes and knew that he wasn’t going to believe Koji’s words, he wasn’t ready to.



“Why won’t you believe me or even listen?” Koji asked softly.



“Koji you aren’t the first to confess your love for me and you will not be the last. I create a dream for my clients but no dream can last forever. I almost got lost in that dream myself, your wife brought me back to reality. There is nothing you can say that will make me leave with you,” Shinta answered his voice soft looking past Koji.



“Come on,” Koji said sadly grabbing Shinta’s wrist.



“What are you doing? I’m not going with you,” Shinta said trying to pull away.



“You need to hear the truth Shinta but right now I don’t have the words or your trust. There is only one person that can fix this and since she was the one that started it, she should fix it,” Koji said walking towards the door pulling the man.



“Koji stop! I’m not going with you,” Shinta said pulling his hand away this a firm tug.



“Yes, you are even if I have to carry you out of here,” Koji said turning to the man. “You’re contract isn’t up.”



“Takamura already told you that...”



Koji opened the door to find Takamura leaning against the wall next to it. Looking up at the man he managed a polite smile.



“I believe I would like to finish out my contract with Shinta,” Koji said firmly. “I haven’t broken the contract in anyway.”



“That is true but Shinta has and because of that. . . “ Takamura started looking through the door at Shinta would was shaking his head no.



“Then it is still valid unless I chose to break it. I believe there is a clause 26 b that says something along the lines of the client is the one to determine if a contract shall be voided in the case of a breach by the escort. I am not ready to void the contract,” Koji said firmly.



“Well Shinta he has a point and honestly there is no reason for you not to finish out your contract. You know the price of being an escort after all,” Takamura said looking in at the pale man. “You need to go with him unless you plan to quit Black Heaven and pay the forfeit fee on your contract with Koji.”



“You know I can’t pay that Takamura,” Shinta said coldly. “Fine, let’s go.” Shinta said looking at Koji with angry eyes.



Koji followed the tense quiet man down the hall wondering if he had done the right thing. It would have been better if Koji had been able to convince the stubborn man to come with him of his own will instead of forcing him with his contract. He knew with absolute certainty this wasn’t a dream and that he would show Shinta that what Koji felt for him was real. Walking pasted the now deactivated android Koji stopped to reactivate her as Shinta looked at him coldly.



“So that is how you knew where I was. I suppose Hajime was listening to me as well?” Shinta asked.



“Yes, just a minute,” Koji said as he finished speaking a long set of commands to the android who suddenly came alive again. “Come on,”



Shinta looked in surprise at the limousine parked out front and the chauffeur who opened the door for Koji. He gently pushed the man towards the door and entered behind him. Looking across the car at Shinta he felt a great sadness well up inside of him. Everything had gone wrong in an instant and Koji was unsure if he could repair the damage. Forcing Shinta to come with him had only angered the escort but he knew that he needed to hear the truth. The silence between them stretched out uncomfortably as Koji continued to stare at the ridged man sitting across from him so much like a sculpture of amazing beauty and anger.



“Shinta, I’m sorry. I should have said something about Aya, but she isn’t a big part of my life anymore and I thought I would have time. There is so much we don’t know about each other still,” Koji said softly looking pleadingly at the man.



“Koji this isn’t going to work,“ Shinta said stiffly looking out at the scenery that flew by the window.



“Why are you so mad? Is it really about me being married before I even meet you?” Koji asked confused by Shinta’s stubborn refusal to listen to anything.



Shinta remained silent as Koji looked at the slim golden man his face now unreadable as if he had slipped on a mask to hide himself. Koji sighed softly at a loss of how to handle the angry silent man. Shinta was an enigma to him always hiding behind a polite mask of an escort. Koji was unsure if Aya was even the true cause of his silent refusal to talk to him. He let his black eyes rest on the sullen blonde deciding to remain silent knowing that first they must solve the very easy problem of his relationship with Aya then go from there.



Finally the uncomfortable journey ended when the car pulled into Koji’s estate. Without waiting for the chauffeur to open the door Koji got out pulling Shinta along with him. Silently they entered the house as Koji lead the tense man up the stairs. He watched Shinta’s eyes widening in surprise as they stopped in front of one of the guest rooms.



“Why are we here?” Shinta asked in confusion.



“So you can hear the truth,” Koji said knocking on the door to hear an instant reply asking them to enter.



Shinta didn’t move as Koji opened the door and walked in. It wasn’t until Koji went to him and pulled at his arm that Shinta moved reluctantly into the room to see a delicate pale woman in a huge bed. Her face was worn and looked tired as she looked at the two men that had entered her room.



“Aya I sorry to ask this of you but . . .” Koji started as he pulled Shinta along with him to the bedside.



“It’s ok Koji. Hajime told me what is going on, I’m the one that should be apologizing,” Aya said in a gentle voice as she looked up at Shinta with a smile. “I have to admit I’m more than a little jealous of you, Shinta, that’s your name right isn’t it?”



“Koji let go of me right now?” Shinta said firmly.



“Are you going to run away?”



“Have you lost your mind? Who in the world would want to speak with their lover’s wife wether they are still married or not. Now let me go,” Shinta said angrily.



“Shinta please sit down. I feel responsible for all of this, please,” Aya said grabbing Shinta’s free hand in both of her small ones.



Koji watched Shinta gaze into Aya’s eyes with a smile as he let go of the man’s arm. The battle was already lost for the escort, Koji himself knew the power of his wife’s pleading eyes. Shinta sat down stiffly on a chair next to the bed as Aya let go of his hand.



“Shinta, I must apologize for interrupting you and Koji. Hajime told me that you are unsure of Koji’s intentions toward you but you shouldn’t be. If anything Koji is to earnest and truthful to the point it hurts. There is nothing between Koji and I but friendship of two people who once lived together. I will not say share a life together since neither one of us love each other or really spent time together,” Aya said looking at the unreadable face in front of her.



“You expect me to believe he married you without loving you. If it is true what does that say about Koji?” Shinta said looking up at Koji.



Aya sighed as she looked at the stubborn man in front of her. “It says that there can only be one thing in this simple man’s heart. Only one passion that overrides everything else. He needed a wife when he was starting his company. We both went to the same college and our family’s were close. Arranged marriage really don’t exist anymore but pressure from your family to marry well is always there. I had hoped that one day, well that doesn’t matter.” Aya said looking up at Koji wistfully.



“Shinta never once has Koji ever taken time off of work to spend with me. I have never spent a full weekend with him, never. It has been years since we even shared a bed. Yet for you he has done all of this, and that is why I can say with absolute certainty he loves you,” Aya said firmly looking once again at Shinta her brown eyes boring into him.



“How can you say that so easily? I’m a man, an escort, and your rival,” Shinta said looking at the beautiful woman sitting next to him.



Aya laughed looking at Koji who was blushing.”Because I don’t love Koji, but I do care for him. Although I admit I’m a little jealous of the fact that you could enter his heart so easily and turn him from his androids, yet I can’t help but feel happiness that he isn’t going to be alone either. I have always felt guilty for leaving him alone with nobody but a house full of androids. Now that I know he has found someone that guilt is gone, I don’t have to worry about him anymore. Strangely enough that you’re a man makes it easier,” Aya said thinking for a moment. “I feel like I don’t have to compare myself to you.”



Shinta looked between Koji and Aya with a perplexed look on his face at the bizarre situation. Koji smiled down at him knowing fully well that if he was in the beautiful man’s place he would be just as confused. His relationship with Aya had never been a normal couple relationship. Aya had found the words to explain their situations in minutes where Koji could try all night and not succeed. Koji looked at Aya with a sense of relief that she had so easily accepted Shinta, a man, as part of his life and helped him once again.



“Unless you have any questions Shinta why don’t you go with Koji and listen to him. He might not be good with words but at least he is honest. Don’t deny yourself the chance of being with him because of me,” Aya said after a few minutes of silence.



“Come on she’s right. Thank you Aya, I’m sorry to bring you into this with everything else,” Koji said walking up to the bed.



“Get going Koji. I’ll be fine there are other things for you to take care of besides me,” Aya said with a smile.



Koji lead Shinta out of the guestroom and walked towards his own room and entered with Shinta. Koji abruptly turned and look into Shinta’s beautifully carved face. Koji stood still unable to say anything, the words he wanted to say caught within him as he looked at the man who had upturned his predictable life so easily. The reserved business man could not find the words to make everything better and wished that he had Aya’s ability to see into people.



Koji’s eyes widened when Shinta move forward to embrace him slowly. The gentle embrace was the best thing Koji had ever felt as he arms hesitantly went around the blonde’s body pulling him close. Neither one of them said anything for a while as they both leaned against each other.



“What made you change your mind?” Koji asked softly.



“Your wife, she’s right. She reminded me of what I already knew about you. She help me to make the connection between the reason I loved you and the reason I loved Takumi. Both of you are idiots,” Shinta replied leaning into Koji’s muscular body.



“What?” Koji said surprised pulling away a little.



Shinta said nothing instead he brushed his lips against Koji’s in a light soft kiss his fingers brushing Koji’s hair of to the side as he looked up into the strong worried face. Abruptly he let go of Koji and walked a little away from him. Perplexed Koji looked at the man wondering what was wrong now.



“Shinta?”



“Koji why do you continue to pursue me?” Shinta asked going to the bed and sitting down.



“Why?” Koji asked surprised.”I don’t suppose that I love you is a good enough answer?”



“Then I would ask why you love me. Koji I need to know why you feel so strongly. Is it my body?” Shinta asked softly looking up at the muscular man.



“Yes, part of it is your body Shinta. How could it not be? Never in my life have I feel such deep desire to be joined with another. Just looking at you or even hearing you voice can well you know?” Koji said with a blush as he nervously ran his hand through his short hair.



Shinta couldn’t help but smile a little at the man’s embarrassment of such a simple thing as Koji walked over to sit next to him.



“But Shinta it isn’t just that, you make me feel at ease like I can say anything to you. I’m always taking the lead in many parts of my life but with you I can sit back and let you lead. I don’t know how to explain it totally but it is like you add something to me that completes me as a person,” Koji said taking Shinta’s hand.



Shinta looked down at their joined hands for several moments as Koji remained silent hoping his words meant something to the confusing man next to him. Shinta face remained closed to Koji as he wondered if he had something wrong until Shinta finally looked up from their hands.



“This isn’t really about Aya is it? It never was. Just tell me Shinta, “ Koji asked when he saw the sadness in the jade eyes that had entrapped him countless times before.



“For not being good with people that is an astute observation. I’m afraid Koji of letting go of the life I have right now. People might look down at escorts or feel sorry for them but honestly I like my job. I could do other things, I don’t even really need the money when it comes down to it. I think I told you before I like it,” Shinta said.



“More than me?” Koji asked bluntly.



“That’s the thing Koji. I think I’m falling in love with you, and your wife help me to realize why. Your passion, honesty and naivety draw me to you like I was once drawn to Takumi. I could fall in love with you so easily but nothing is permeant Koji. I will lose you like I lost Takumi one day and I don’t want to face that emptiness again. You know so very little about me Koji and when you do find out all my secrets I can’t help but think things will change. My life with you would be filled with uncertainly and in return I will be giving up a life that right now am content with,”Shinta answered.



“Then tell me all your secrets now,’ Koji said simply.



Shinta shook his head slightly. “No I must be able to trust you Koji. I must be able to believe in you and I don’t know if I can. I wouldn’t feel right being with you otherwise.”



“What can I do?”



“Let me go Koji. Let me take the time to figure things out for myself, and come to you when I feel ready to,” Shinta said simply.



Koji stood up and walked away from Shinta as his thoughts battled each other. He didn’t want Shinta to leave but he knew that he should. He was very much afraid Shinta would never return if he walked out of the door and was sure that he hadn’t convince Shinta of how much he loved him. Yet he also knew that it would be unfair to force the man to be with him. As each thought battled with the other his frown increased as he wrapped his arms around himself.



“Will you stay the night with me?” Koji asked hesitantly without turning. “We don’t have to do anything but will you stay with me until then at least.”



“Yes, I would like that,” Shinta said from behind him as he felt surprisingly strong thin arms wrap around him. “But I could never lay beside you and not want to do something to you.”



Koji leaned back against the man as he felt a hand trace down his chest lightly. Koji turned to face the lovely man surprise that even with all the mix emotions he was feeling lust could still rise within him so very easily. Soft lips ran down the side of his neck as he moaned softly at the feeling of Shinta next to him. Koji let Shinta lead him over to the bed as the slim man slowly undress Koji before stripping out of his own clothes.



Koji pulled Shinta into the bed pulling the man’s supple body onto his own. Shinta quickly sought position of Koji’s lips in a deep kiss that left the muscular man breathless at the passion. Koji’s large hands ran down Shinta’s smooth back grabbing his perfectly sculpted ass pulling the grinding body against Koji’s muscular one.



When Koji felt Shinta pull away kissing his neck and starting to go lower he stopped the seductive man with his hands.



“No stay here with me. I want to see your face. I want to remember it always,” Koji said guiding the man up to him kissing him again as he spread his legs wider for the gorgeous man atop him. He felt Shinta’s hand move to the night stand to the vial of oil. It wasn’t long before Koji felt Shinta’s fingers probing his tight opening as seductive man looked intensely down into Koji’s eyes. Koji gasped in pleasure at the long fingers exploring his opening but even more at the look in his partner’s eyes.



“Fuck me,” Koji cried unable to stand the intense look combined with the probing fingers.



Shinta smiled down at him as he slowly guided himself into Koji’s tight portal. Koji pulled the lithe body close to him as he felt himself connected to the man. Shinta’s kisses grew more heated as he continued to thrust into Koji’s body. Koji felt a warm tingling heat spread over him as he clutched at the body above him afraid to let go.



As their mutual passion built Koji couldn’t help but feel that this was the last time he would be with the beautiful enigmatic man. He felt an overwhelming sadness mix with the lust as long moan erupted from deep within him. He felt Shinta whole body tense above him as he released himself deep within Koji’s willing body as Koji felt his own passion flow out of him.



Koji felt tears begin to leak out of his eyes as Shinta gentle licked them from his face. Curling up to the man he cried silently as Shinta held him. When he awoke in the morning he was alone, more alone than he had ever been in his entire life.
