Page 9 of Accidentally in Love with a Yakuza Boss

As the two men stood side by side, surveying the carnage left in their wake, the gravity of their accomplishment began to sink in. "You have proven yourself tonight, my friend," Ryuji acknowledged softly, a hint of pride coloring his voice. "No one can deny your skill in battle."

Kenji accepted the compliment graciously, allowing his eyes to meet Ryuji’s for a brief moment before bowing deeply. The others did the same to show respect to their clan leader.

"Our enemy has been defeated," Ryuji declared, his voice carrying authority. "But remember, this is not the end. Our power lies not solely in our brute strength, but in our intelligence and cunning. We must continue to expand our empire, never letting complacency creep in."

Kenji nodded solemnly, understanding the importance of maintaining their advantage. "Indeed, boss. Together, we will continue to expand our territory and strike fear into the hearts of those who dare challenge us."

Ryuji nodded in agreement, his eyes piercing Kenji's. "Yes, you are right.” He waved off the junior members, who would make their way to crooked doctors to have their wounds patched, no questions asked.

Kenji watched the junior gang members, the Shatei, leaving. "What was that phone call? Was it that gaijin girl?"

Ryuji's temper flared. He had tried to keep her a secret, but as his most trusted partner, Kenji already knew.

"Never mind." He said.

"You can't be distracted by a hot girl. It almost killed you!"

"I said shut up!" Ryuji spat. His lips curled into a scowl. Anger coursed through his veins, making his fists clench involuntarily.

He didn't know what exactly upset him more, the fact that he had been interrupted during the fight or the fact that Kenji knew about Lily, the woman he had grown fond of despite his best efforts to resist.

"She means nothing to me," Ryuji lied, his heart racing as the thought of Lily consumed his mind. He turned back to the scene of death and destruction, unable to completely mask his unease. "We need to clean up this mess before anyone else finds out."

Kenji nodded solemnly, his mind whirring with all the implications of their victory. "You're right, boss. Let's get this done. I'll call our clean up guy."

Lily heard the room door open and looked up to see Ryuji. He looked tired and had blood on his clothes.

Ryuji was tired and sore, but he masked it well. He was an expert at hiding his moments of weakness. He lashed out like a cornered snake whenever someone doubted him.

"What happened?" Lily asked cautiously.

Ryuji's gaze darkened, his anger palpable. "I needed to finish him once and for all. And I did," he replied, his voice cold and emotionless. He dropped his katana with a clatter. He had no intention of letting her know about their battle or the inner workings of his clan.

"But, what does that mean? Who did you kill?" Lily pressed, trying to make sense of it all.

Ryuji glanced at her, his eyes hardening. "That's none of your concern," he snapped, turning away from her."What you need to worry about is how to please me."

Lily's heart raced at his words, her body reacting to the heat of his anger. She stood up, stepping closer to him, trying to quell the tension between them. "Please tell me what I need to do to satisfy you," she pleaded.

Ryuji hesitated, his eyes lingering on her face. "First, show me complete submission," he finally said, his voice still cold.

"Show me that you belong to me, Lily."

Lily took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come. She dropped to her knees, looking up at Ryuji with tear-filled eyes. "I belong to you, Ryuji," she said, her voice shaking with emotion.

Ryuji's gaze became darker, more intense than ever before. He slowly approached Lily, his muscular frame casting a shadow over her. His adrenaline was still surging from the heat of the kill and only one thing would calm his inner beast now.

Lily’s heart raced, her breath caught in her throat. She felt an overwhelming sense of submission and desire, a powerful combination that left her weak and at his mercy.

Ryuji bent down to lift her chin, forcing her to look directly into his piercing eyes. "Do you really want to know how to please me?" he asked, his voice laced with an undertone of dominance.

Lily nodded eagerly, unable to hide her desperation to prove herself worthy of him.

Ryuji took hold of her hand, leading her towards the bathroom. His strong fingers curled around hers, sending shivers through her body.

Once inside the room, Ryuji released her grasp, standing tall above her. He turned and started the shower.
