A Duelists Love Triangle

Chapter 25

Seto's POV

Deterred, I pick up my phone and call Pegasus. This is the quickest way I can think of bargaining with him and bringing Joey back home safe. The phone rang and reverberated throughout my vast desolate manor hitting off the walls, strengthening the anxiety I felt. It rang three times. It felt like it was taking forever for him to answer.

There was a slight interlude and then I  heard the voice I'd been anticipating:

"Hello, this is Maximillion Pegasus speaking, may I ask whom I have the pleasure of conversing with?" The silver-haired man started with.

"Hello, Pegasus. I find no 'pleasure' what so ever in speaking with you, but I believe you have stolen my lost puppy?" I say sternly. I loathe talking with this despicable man. He better not have done anything to Joey, otherwise, I will not hold back.

"Oooooooh, Kaiba boy. Whatever do you mean?" Pegasus announced excitedly in a condescending tone. I clenched my phone tightly with anger, then loosened my grip again. I need to keep calm so his mind games won't affect me.

"Listen, I don't want the duration of this conversation to last any longer than it has to, so I'll make it short and sweet. What do you want in return for Joey?" I asserted in a cool manner.

"Oh, Kaiba boy... You always spoil my fun. I was anticipating you would take longer looking for him to make this more amusing for me. I just want to have a cup of tea with you, that's all." Pegasus explained disappointed. A cup of tea?! That's what he went so far to kidnap Joey for?!

"A CUP OF TEA? Don't mock me Pegasus. You can't really expect me to believe that." I said sternly. I'm getting sick of this discussion.

"Well, you caught me there Kaiba boy, hahahahahaha. I want to make a proposition, but you have to come to find me first. Have fun!" Pegasus finished as he hung up the phone.

A proposition? What kind of proposition is there to bring about. Argh... Seems like it's going to be harder to find the puppy than I had thought.

Joey's POV

I'm still finding it hard to believe that I've been kidnapped. Like, this place is waaaaaaaay too fancy to hold a hostage. Shouldn't I be behind bars or something? Hmm... If they aren't trying to harm me, then what are they trying to do...

The door opened and Duke walked in with a large tray of food in his hands. It looked and smelled like it was full of flavour. I wanna eat it.

"Well Joey, I remembered you have an appetite bigger than horses, so I prepared all this food for you." He said with a gentle smile. He then placed the tray down onto one of the surfaces in the room and gave me some napkins, a fork, knife and spoon.

"Woah! Ya cooked all dis yerself?" I shouted excitedly. It looked amazing! Much better than my cooking, and I'll have you know I'm somewhat of a chef myself!" I say smugly, whilst drooling at the tray of food in front of me.

Duke's face went a little red and then he grinned. He handed me the tray of food and sat down beside me.

"Well, of course, it looks good! After all, I'm the one who made it! Hahaha!" Duke said proudly of himself. Maybe I just boosted his ego a tiny bit.

I take my fork and knife to the gorgeous food on the tray and take a huge mouth full of everything until I realised the tray was now empty.

"Haha, guess I was hungrier than I thought!" I declared with an enormous smile on my face. I noticed Duke was staring at me... Kinda makes me feel a bit self-conscious.

"You've got some sauce on your face," Duke mumbled still gawking at my face. He slowly got in closer to look at it. In fact a little too close if you ask me.

"H-huh? Where?" I stumble over my words. This is... Really intense! What do I do?? He's so close to me!

Duke then licked the sauce off my face slowly and gently. W-what is going on?! He then smoothly pushes me down and licks my lips asking for entry. Surprised I relax my lips and he enters my mouth. We fell into a deep kiss that was unexpected. He then went deeper into the kiss and startled me.

He gently pulled his lips away from mine leaving a trail of saliva on our lips. He then lifted my shirt up past my pecs and began to caress my nipples. The way he uses his tongue got me in a trance, my face was heating up and I couldn't breathe. This feeling was... Was weird but not bad... I wonder if Seto wanted to do this to me all this time... Seto... SETO!

I push Duke off me and squirm backwards to the edge of my bed before falling off. I cover my lips in shock and start to shake a little. I can't believe I almost fell for another man! What would Seto think of me now? Jeez, I'm such an idiot!

"Joey, what's wrong? Did you not like it?" Duke said worriedly. He slowly approached me and reached out his hand to help me up. I smacked it away with force and started tearing up.

I look at him with a hurt glare and yell: "GET OUT! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUUUUUUUUUUUT!" I can't believe I've betrayed Seto like this! Feeling pleasure from another man... I'm disgusting!

Duke stood back in shock but understood that he should get the hell out of there. He exited with a concerned look on his face and closed the door gently behind him.

I sat on the floor crying to myself. Will Seto forgive me?? Will he even look at me anymore? Seto... I need you! Please take me home...
