  Excerpt If Nao’s father had kept the drug key in his office desk, what horrors would Nao find once he stepped foot into his father’s home? Nao would rather keep them buried for as long as possible. Kurosawa knotted the gauze wraps with a tight jerk of his wrist. “The least you could do is not fuck a new recruit at headquarters. It makes it uncomfortable for everyone.” “What are you talking about?” “Last night with Hisona.” “Hisona?” Nao blinked. “You don’t even know his name? The whole house could hear you screw him all night.” Hisona was much too forceful of a name and didn’t match Aki’s personality at all. So of course he’d forget it. Apparently Aki could act enough to keep the whole household convinced. With only four days left before jail time, Nao was bound to need Aki’s acting skills again. Nao grinned. “Aki really knew how to take it. Those recruits are so eager to please.” “If you want to fuck one, take them to a hotel.” Nao tried not to laugh at Kurosawa’s reddening face. If it was out of embarrassment or anger, Nao didn’t know, but either way he enjoyed it. “Taking the time to go to a hotel would’ve killed the mood.” Nao trailed a hand down his own neck to his collarbone. “Have you ever been with a man, Kurosawa? They know exactly what to do during a blowjob.” Kurosawa puffed out his cheeks. “Couldn’t you go back to the brothel?” “I thought you’d enjoy me staying in for once. Besides, you’re not in a position to talk to me this way.” Kurosawa gritted his teeth. “What I’m doing is for the good of the Matsukawa as a whole.” “You should respect me more as the godfather of this syndicate.” “Someone has to tell you what everyone is thinking.” “Good thing they’re not speaking it because I’d punch them in the face. With you, I’m satisfied seeing you get demoted to cutting up dead bodies and burning the Matsukawa furnace once you’re replaced.” “I’ll be more than happy to do any task that benefits the family.” Nao laughed and grabbed his phone. He frowned; there were still no new messages from Kohta, which didn’t put him any closer to finding the dealer. “Fujimoto called last night about a disturbance in his ward.” Nao grinned. “I was in the middle of getting a blowjob, so I told him to handle it. I want to make sure Fujimoto wasn’t an idiot.”
