Demon Warriors 4: Takeo Read Online Free Page A

his cock thickening and knew he needed to get Kamiko off of his lap. The small man was just his friend and had never given any signs that he wanted more. Although he had declared to Panahasi that he wished to stay with Takeo, to be his, many things were said in a terrifying situation. Did the man mean it?
    Did he really want to be Takeo’s?
    Takeo wanted more, so much more. He wanted forever with the small man. “I’m sorry I worried you.” And he was. Even though he had been kidnapped and tortured, Takeo was sorry he had worried the man. He knew his heart was no longer his when Kamiko’s feelings came before his very own.
    Good gods, I’ve fallen hard.
    “May I explore?” Kamiko asked as he pulled away from Takeo, taking the warmth with him. Takeo was loath to let him go, but released the small man as he nodded. He had stolen a pair of jogging pants from a clothesline, and it was the only thing he was wearing.
    His cock was already tenting, and he didn’t want Kamiko to see the evidence of his arousal.
    “You will be here for some time. This will be your home, so explore.” He hated that Kamiko was caught up in all this bullshit. For years he had tried his best to keep Kamiko sheltered and away from the demon realm.
    So much for that effort.
    Takeo sighed as he pushed away from the couch, heading into his bedroom to dress properly as Kamiko busied himself with his exploration. He needed to let the other warriors know he was back, but Takeo had a feeling that Panahasi had taken care of that.
    Takeo opened his closet, extracting a pair of pants and a button-down shirt. He needed a shower. Now that he was back in his apartment, Takeo could feel his wounds healing. The apartment building that the warriors resided in had magical spells protecting it, stopping anyone from just walking in. There was no entranceway into the building. It was only accessible through the shadows, and only a warrior could access them.
    The building had another perk as well. As long as the warriors resided there, their powers renewed. They drew their strength from the brick and mortar.
    He stepped under the spray of the shower, letting the heated water pound into his sore muscles. He wasn’t sure how long he had been gone, but it felt like years of grime was crawling on his skin. Takeo scrubbed, noticing the marks on his wrists fading, but not disappearing. He turned his hand over, wondering why the scars remained. Being inside the building should have completely healed him. This was odd.
    “Takeo?”
    Takeo jumped. Fuck, Kamiko had scared the shit out of him.
    What the hell was the guy doing in the bathroom? “Yes?”
    “There is someone here to see you.” Without thinking, Takeo jumped from the shower and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around his waist as he rushed to the living room.
    He rolled his eyes when he saw Wayland standing there with a curious look on his face.
    “What?” he snapped and then sighed. It wasn’t Wayland’s fault that his defenses were up. After what had happened to him, Takeo was on edge.
    “Hi to you, too, jackass.” Wayland grinned. “Glad to see you haven’t changed much.”
    “Hold on,” Takeo said as he walked past Kamiko, who was staring at him strangely. He walked into his bedroom, tossing the towel aside, grabbing his clothes, and pulling them on. Next he walked into the bathroom and shut the shower off.
    Not even one moment’s peace.
    Barefooted, Takeo met Wayland in the kitchen as he steeped some tea.
    “So, where have you been?” Wayland asked as he took a seat at the table.
    That was a very good question. Takeo had escaped, but he hadn’t figured out where he was. He knew it was the human realm, but that was it. He hadn’t been in his right frame of mind once he escaped.
    Thoughts of Kamiko’s safety had driven him to find a shadow and find his friend.
    “The human realm,” he answered as he poured a cup of tea for himself and Wayland.
    Takeo made a third cup when he remembered his
