“How do I know that you are in earnest?” Kazunari asked unsure why he was even asking. Ryo gave him a smile and brought his hands to his mouth once more. It was a gentle touch but for some reason it felt as though his skin had been put in the flames of a candle. His heart jumped inside of his chest and his breath caught. One of Ryo’s hands came to rest on his thigh his thumb drawing small circles. It was then that Kazunari realised that his bathing robe had slipped open and his thigh was bare. The thumb was rough against the soft skin there but Ryo’s hand didn’t linger there. It moved upwards to his penis that had shrivelled during the talk and his shock. Now, with Ryo’s hand moving up towards the very tip it twitched once more. He squirmed a little trying to cover himself, panic once again clawing its way through him. “Please remove your hand from my person...”

“Then how am I to prove that I am in earnest? You have felt my hardness for you, told you my words...If I am unable to touch you how else am I to show you?” Ryo asked his voice extremely soft as his breath brushed against Kazunari’s face. It was sweet, like the tang of a lemon, and Kazunari closed his eyes against the sensation of it. When he had awoke that morning he had not imagined that this would be the outcome of the day. His heart had been filled with fear for the carriage ride and nerves for what would await him in Nottingham he had not imagined that this would be what he should have feared beyond all else. “I will go no further than you desire, if you tell me to stop now then I shall but I will not give up my offer. It will be good for us both...I have the same fears as you at being caught...But I will hide your secret while you hide mine...Do you not believe that is a good deal?”

“...Yes...” Kazunari breathed softly his head falling back as his legs parted a little more. Ryo’s hand finished its journey and Kazunari almost let out a yelp as somebody else’s fingers touched his penis for the first time. Ryo didn’t do much, his fingers just brushing at the tip. His body trembled and his stomach clenched. It was almost painful and his mouth let out a gasp. Ryo let out a chuckle and Kazunari slammed his eyes closed as his nails scraped at the sheets. The older man’s hand curled around him and another shiver tore through his body. Ryo didn’t stop however and started stroking him up and down slowly.

“Just relax...Let your body enjoy it. The more you fight the less you will enjoy it” Ryo told him his second hand coming up and cupping at his testicles. The angle was extremely awkward but it was clear that Ryo knew what he was doing. Kazunari tried to do what Ryo suggested but he had no idea how to relax. When it became clear that he wasn’t going to be able to do so Ryo stopped his actions and stood up. “Let us remove the robe you are wearing...”

“I...I...It is too much...I can’t please...” Kazunari whispered his eyes filling with tears and Ryo nodded with a smile ruffling his hair with his fingers.

“Very well. As promised I will do only what you want” He said and Kazunari gave a sigh of relief blinking away his tears. Ryo smiled at him once more and then pulled a handkerchief from his pocket. It smelt fresh, clean and was lightly starched. His father had held the same habit of always keeping a clean and pressed handkerchief on his person and once again the likeness to his father should have been a strange and unnerving thing given the level of intimacy they had just been enjoying but instead it was comforting to Kazunari and he smiled a little wiping his tears away and saying with more confidence than he had been feeling;

“I do agree...To...To your proposal...But I need...I need time...I...It is too much too fast...”

“I understand and I apologise for being so forward. I admit that I had not intended to move quite so quickly and so boldly. But your expressions and reactions were so delightful that I lost all sense. Can you forgive me?”

“More easily than I should” Kazunari smiled at the man’s sincere apology and then moved his robe so it covered his body more completely. The feel of the man’s hand was still etched upon his skin. He could feel them as though they were there still and he wondered what more there could be and what else two men did together. He had heard the word buggery, it was for that the men in Oxford had been arrested and hung but he didn’t know what it was. He was sure that it would be in a book somewhere but he had been too afraid to ask in fear of people believing the truth of his character. “Naruse...”

“Ryo, please, if we are to be intimate I would rather not be on formal terms, I may call you Kazunari?”

“If we are to be intimate then I suppose you must call me Nino. It is the name my brother and sisters know me by...”

“How strange. As the eldest I would assume that your brother Edwin would be known by your family name...”

“I was a small child, my sisters described me delicate like a bird, my mother named me Kazunari with her dying breath but the name always seemed too big for me. My brother was the first to call me Nino and it stuck...” Kazunari smiled shyly surprised by the direction the evening had turned but he fancied that Ryo was trying to calm him and he was doing a great job of it too. The man poured them both a third and final cup of tea before asking;

“You were a delicate child?”

“Yes, I had many bouts of sickness as a child but my father tended me through them all remembering the advice of my mother...She...In truth there are those that thought her a cunning woman or a witch. She was neither of course but her family came from a long line of herb-women” Kazunari smiled fondly remembering the stories his sisters would tell of those in the village calling their mother a witch. Margaret Ninomiya...Nee Hall. Had been a beautiful woman in her youth with long jet black hair and honey brown eyes. There were those that would say her tongue was sharp but that was only those that could not match her intelligence. In marrying his father she had married beneath her.

He was a gentleman but did not have wealth or titles and for the most part they had been cut from the main family.

His sisters and brother would claim that the were better for it but for Kazunari he had not known life without his grandparents. With his mother’s passing their had been a thawing between them and his father and although his grandfather had hated him for being weak his grandmother had seemed almost fond of Kazunari. His grandmother at least had doted on him while she had been alive and although his grandfather had never uttered a kind word to him he had remarked more than once on his likeness to his mother, adding of course that such a thing was pointless in a man.

“I see, your mother sounds like she was an amazing person. I am sorry I never met her”

“Me too...”

“Sorry that was thoughtless of me, forgive me?”

“There is nothing to forgive. Thank-you for being kind to me...”

“You’re welcome though it isn’t completely unselfish...” Ryo smirked and winked and Kazunari flushed brightly his body heating up as the air around them became thick once more. Ryo seemed to notice the change and gave him a small wink before saying brightly “You should change for bed. I will take the tray downstairs...”

“Will you not bathe?”

“Not tonight. It would be unwise...I will see you shortly...”
