Where My Demons Hide

Chapter Thirty-Two - Star

Finally, I decided to pick up my father's call. When I did, he went silent before clearing his throat.

"You've finally decided to answer my call?" He asked.

"What did you expect, Pa?" I asked him.

"Can we meet for lunch?" He asked. "Both of you."

I looked over at Dragon who was standing at the island, eating from a bowl of watermelon, looking like every delicious thing I wanted to put in my mouth. "Let me talk to P'Dragon."

Placing the call on hold, I walked over to Dragon. I kissed him between his shoulder blades from behind and he moaned and turned to face me.

"What do you need to speak to me about?" He lifted a piece of watermelon to my lips.

I accepted it and chewed. "Pa wants to meet with us for lunch."

Dragon stared down into my eyes silently. It was almost as if he was trying to find something in my gaze or my expression. After a bit, he kissed my nose.

"Will it make you happy?" He asked.

I nodded. "Hmm."

"Okay." Dragon pressed another piece of the fruit to my lips. "Let's do it."

After swallowing, I kissed him, a more meaningful kiss than before. I went back to my father to tell him we'd meet him at a local restaurant and the time. When I hung up, Dragon had gone upstairs. I walked into the bathroom and he lifted me unto the sink. I took the razor from his hand and without a word, finished shaving him for the day.

I wiped his face clean, and he kissed me.

"Thank you." He told me.

We cleaned up and I led him into my office. After I sat him down, I booted up my computer and opened up the game I'd been working on. Since I hadn't done the voicing and the like yet, all I had to show him was the concept.

"Remember what I've been working on before?" I asked.

Dragon leaned forward to star at the game character then bowed his head. "You were working on this?"

"Khrap."

"That's me."

I nodded. "I hope you don't mind. But I was finished with the videogame industry. I thought my creativity had dried up until I met you."

"Mind?" Dragon asked before reaching across to hug me. "I don't mind at all."

"So, you'll be okay with me finishing this and releasing it?"

"Yes." Dragon replied. "Look at those tattoos? Is that what you want?"

My cheeks flushed. "No. I love your body just the way it is. The tattoos are for my gamers."

Dragon scooped me into his arms and after a kiss, I turned to look at the screen, still in his arms. The character was beautiful.

"Are you surprised?" I asked him as Dragon was busy dragging his lips against the back of my neck.

"Yes."

After a while, Dragon went to make some calls while I showered and prepared to meet with my father. When he was ready, all I wanted to do was lead him back up to the bedroom. There was something about him in all black, that did some strange things to my body.

"Wait, you're missing something." I told him.

I walked over to my dresser and pulled out the boxes with the watch I'd bought. He stepped up to me and I lifted one of his hand and placed once of the boxes in his palm.
