Chapter 4

 

Knowing that the Ronins and Warlords are to be involved in a long meeting, Rowen wasn't in any rush to get downstairs to where the meeting spot was. Pacing his room, the blue haired warrior knew exactly why he didn't want to go downstairs.

 

It's getting harder to pretend, he thinks while shaking his head.

 

Stropping by the door to his room, Rowen lays a hand on the knob just as a knock raps against the door to his bedroom. Thinking it one of the guys to tell him to get a move on, Rowen jerks open the door to find not a Ronin, but Lady Kayra.

 

“Kayra,” he whispers.

 

“I can't stand it,” she whispers back. “Being so near to you, but so far.”

 

Shaking his head, Rowen takes a look down the long hall. Seeing no one in the hall but them, Rowen steps back into his room and Kayra follows.

 

“I need you,” she says.

 

“We can't,” he replies, shaking his head. “The kids…”

 

“Are down by the lake swimming,” she says.

 

Closing his eyes, he turns away, only to feel a warm, lush body press up against his back.

 

“We have a meeting,” he tries again, wanting and yet not wanting to be alone with this woman.

 

“They can wait,” she says, kissing the back of his neck. “We need time to ourselves.”

 

Nodding his head, Rowen shuts the door and leads Kayra to his bed.

 

……………..

 

Having fought with one of his closest friends, Hoshi found that he wasn't in the mood any more for a swim. Striding up to the house, Hoshi enters the building. Hearing noises from the living room, Hoshi peeks his head around the corner to find almost everyone in the room. Noticing that his father is not there, Hoshi feels a need to speak with the man who raised him.

 

Knowing Dad, he's upstairs in his room.

 

Taking the stairs two at a time, Hoshi gets to the second floor in no time at all. Striding down the hall, Hoshi knows that a talk with his dad is just what the doctor ordered. Finally reaching the door to his father's room, Hoshi places the barest knock on the door before swinging the door wide open.

 

“Dad…” starts Hoshi, but stops as he sees the scene before him.

 

Mouth wide open, Hoshi can say nothing. In the room before him, a half-undressed Rowen is leaning over an equally half naked Kayra. Shock fills the room, but the youngest person in there is the first to recover.

 

“How could you?” demands the son. “You promised!”

 

“Hoshi, this isn't what you think,” starts Rowen, slipping off the bed and taking a step toward his son.

 

“I know exactly what this is,” says Hoshi, his voice growing louder.

 

“Son…”

 

“No!” shouts Hoshi. “She” pointing a finger at Kayra “is in your bed. What about your promise?”

 

“I'm not breaking that promise,” says the blue haired warrior to his son.

 

“Bullshit!” shouts Hoshi, glaring at his father and the woman beyond. “You were going to fuck her!”

 

“Hoshi!” reprimands Rowen. “Watch your mouth.”

 

“You promised! No women after Mom died.”

 

“You don't understand,” begins Rowen, glancing out of the corner of his eye and watching Kayra slipping off the bed.

 

“Hoshi,” says Kayra calmly, “please let your father explain.”

 

“You stay out of this!” demands the boy.

 

“Do not take that tone of voice with her,” states Rowen firmly.

 

“What fucking tone would you like me to take with her?” demands the boy, becoming more enraged by the moment.

 

“Do not speak to your father like that,” she says, stepping up beside Rowen.

 

“You're not my mother, so don't think you can correct anything I do,” replies the boy.

 

What little color Kayra had in her face drains in that moment from those words. A single tear escapes from her right eye, as she rushes from the room.

 

“How could you say that to her?” demands Rowen, angry with his son for those words.

 

“It's the truth,” replies the boy.

 

“No, dammit, it isn't,” shouts Rowen at his son. “Because Kayra is your mother!”
