How to deal with a runaway girl

Chapter 8

Midari knocked on the door and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, who expected some sort of reprimand or warning, but instead the tall Japanese man just opened the door and encouragingly pushed Aki inside. He left without looking back, but Aki could have sworn a smile almost crossed his stony face once again. The girl was a bit surprised and stared at the door behind which he had disappeared.

"Finally! You are here already? Sit down" Takano's voice said. Aki turned towards it, carefully trying to locate him. She noticed him sitting behind a large desk with a pile of documents piled high on it. A sleek black laptop gleamed in front of him. "I'll finish soon and we can go to dinner. And? Have you looked around yet?" He asked, typing something on the keyboard.

"Yeah. Big kitchen, nice garden..." She said, looking everywhere she could to avoid his gaze. Takano's face stretched into a look of surprise.

"Garden? What were you doing in the garden? Did Midari just let you go there?"

Aki mentally grinned. Her shoulders began to tremble. Her eyes became moist. The girl shrunk into herself, looking shocked and defenseless.

"I-it's because of h-him..." Her voice broke from the tears she held back. "I was attacked...!" She choked out, covering her mouth with her hand and turned around, hanging her head, not wanting the man to see her in such a state.

"Oh... So you're saying the escape didn't work?"

"Tsk" She hissed, making a dissatisfied face. "Smartass..." She muttered under her breath, dissatisfied. "So what? Are we going to eat or what?" She asked in a normal tone.

"Yes Yes. I'm coming" Takano got up from behind the desk, walked up to the girl, took her hand with a smile and went with her to the room where everyone was already waiting. The girl obediently allowed herself to be led. It was a new experience for her. (So ​​holding hands doesn't have to hurt...) After entering a room full of subordinates, seeing so many people, Aki's heart beat faster, flooded with a wave of fear. She instinctively hid behind Takano, lowering her head and staring at his back. Seeing her behavior, the man gently squeezed her hand to reassure her and sat her down next to him. Midari sat on the other side of the girl. It made her feel a little safer. Everyone started eating. After a dozen or so minutes, when the tableware sparkled clean and the sitting Japanese began to talk among themselves in a relaxed atmosphere, Takano got up from the table. Everyone fell silent at the same time, looking at him intently.

"I'll only say it once. This is Aki. She's here with me. If anyone tries to touch her, they will lose their hand. Do we understand each other?" He said, sweeping the gathered people with his icy gaze. "Yes Sir!" All the men shouted at the same time. Aki was unable to understand the speech in the language of her host, or rather her kidnapper. She wanted to get away from the room as quickly as possible, where the atmosphere had suddenly become very heavy. From Takano's entire statement, she only understood her name, which only made her more upset. Not knowing what to do next, she flinched when she noticed someone's hand next to her head, obviously reaching towards her. She tilted her head, looking at the culprit with doe eyes. Fortunately, who she saw was a gently smiling Takano. She took his hand and allowed herself to be led to his, or rather their, room from now on. As soon as he closed the door behind him, Aki immediately clung to him, snuggling into him, looking for a safe place.

"Were you that scared of them?" He said, hugging her and tenderly stroking her head as if calming a scared child. "They're not that bad. After a while you will get used to it"

The girl, resting her forehead on his chest, shook her head.

"I won't get used to it.." She muttered.

"Hmm? Why not?" He was surprised.

"Because by then I'll have run away a long time ago"  She said without raising her head and hugged him tighter.

"Oh, you little..." The man picked up Aki, who let out a surprised squeal, threw her over his healthy arm and carried her to the bed. Throwing the girl like a bag of confused potatoes onto the mattress, he leaned over her and held her hands. Gradually approaching, he ran his seductive gaze over her body.

"Should I teach you obedience?" He whispered passionately right next to her ear and leaned in to kiss her, but she turned her head abruptly and squeezed her eyes tightly shut.

"No no no no! I'll be good now! I promise!" She cried without opening her eyes, at the same time pressing with all her strength on the mattress, trying in this ridiculous way to increase the distance between them.

Takano was once again surprised by her reaction, but then he smiled, more at himself than at Aki. He released her hands from his grip and unceremoniously collapsed onto the bed next to her.

"As punishment, you have to rub my back" He said, his voice a little muffled by the pillow. The girl stood up and looked uncertainly at Takano. She wanted to make sure the man wasn't joking, but she couldn't read any intentions, staring at the back of his head. Slowly her eyes moved to the Japanese man's broad back. For one moment they even slid lower and her face flushed. (Mmmm...!). And then a playful idea came to her mind. She carefully stepped onto the mattress and stood over the lying straddle. Biting her lip to keep a smile from blooming, she sat on top of Takano without warning.

"Ugh...!" He snorted in surprise. "What are you..." He started, turning towards Aki, but seeing the girl's blushing and innocent face and the position she was taking, he was speechless, but after a while he just laughed under his breath.

"If so... Continue" He added, putting his head on the pillow again. To calm down, Aki took a few deep breaths and placed her outstretched hands on his ... lower back... Well, they were... Warm...

"Mmm" came the Japanese man's satisfied purr and the girl quickly moved her hands higher.

She ran the thumbs of both hands along his spine, almost losing her balance and having to squeeze her thighs tightly to avoid nuzzling him, which in turn started another grunt of approval. Aki, now red to the roots of her hair, leaned even closer and began to massage his muscular arm. She tried not to move the one damaged by the bullet. Her breathing quickened. The excitement was growing and it seemed that it was about to reach a critical point... At that exact moment, the room was filled with a knock on the door and after a moment none other than Midari appeared.

"Boss, a call from the company. They are waiting for you to start the meeting" His voice was, as usual, professional, and his face, motionless as a mask, did not betray any emotions.

"Grrr..." The man literally growled, turning his head away from his subordinate.

Aki quickly got off Takano and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her feet, very embarrassed at being caught. Takano stood up, patted her head and left with Midari, straightening his wrinkled clothes as he went out.
