“Shit,” I whimper as I grind on him.

“Take all of me, baby,” he grits out as he pushes his hips up to meet my thrusts.

“So. Much.”

He chuckles. “You always take it so good. Don’t stop.”

At his words, I pick up my pace, riding him frantically.

“Nico,” I shudder as he pushes his hips up to meet me thrust for thrust. Hard and fast. I place my hands on the headboard so our bodies are flush.

His chest vibrates from the growl he lets out, leaning forward to lock my lips with his.

Nothing but the sound of our cries and bodies meeting fill the room.

“You’re strangling my cock, baby. I can barely move.”

I kiss him again as he speeds up. Reaching forward, I leave my lips pressed to his as I untie the rope.

Without hesitation, his arms wrap around me, pulling me completely against him as he thrusts relentlessly. I burrow my face into his neck, so close to the edge.

I feel my orgasm coming, and I dig my teeth into his shoulder as I clamp down on him and fall apart again.

Body still shaking, I ride out my orgasm as he lets out a groan and releases into me. I fall limply over him as we try to catch our breath. He kisses the top of my head, and before I can doze off, he’s pulling me up and into the shower where he takes me again.

NICO

LARGEST TRAFFICKING ARREST IN CHINA TO DATE

By Ewan Dalton

Fifty-seven men and women apprehended for their involvement in human and drug trafficking.

After an anonymous tip was sent to authorities in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Ningbo-Zhoushan, shipments coming in from and heading to Mexico and California were confiscated. Nine shipping containers were subject for search, and authorities found over 20,000 kilos of cocaine, weed, and opioids worth over $1 billion, along with 38 trafficking victims ranging from men, women, and children. This is one of the largest seizures China has ever had. Authorities are working with the United States, Canada, Mexico, as well as some additional countries in South America, in efforts to make more arrests and return the victims to their homes.

Satisfaction rolls over me, but it’s short lived. I received an alert two days ago that Caishen Goh submitted a flight plan on his private plane and that he would be landing in New York City today. This isn’t a surprise. From what I’ve found, he visits this time of year and stays for a month. He’s been attending the Annual van der Sar Charity Ball and Auctionfor decades.

Aside from the seizure of his shipments on China’s ports, my wife also had all shipments leaving The Golden Triangle blownup. Costing the 14K billions more. As expected, Caishen was not arrested, as he’s far too smart to allow any sort of connection.

The familiar tapping of my mother’s heels approaches my office door, followed by a knock. Without waiting for my response, my mother bursts in.

“Hey, Ma. Appreciate you coming.” I lean forward to greet her.

She kisses my cheeks before pulling back.

This conversation is long overdue.

Ignoring me, she gives me a once-over at my hoodie and black jeans. Frankly, the jeans are an improvement from the usual attire.

“Nico, what on earth are you wearing?” She gasps.

We do this every time, but she never fails to act surprised, as if she doesn’t already know I refuse to wear a suit unless absolutely necessary. I’m a hacker and security guy, not a businessman.

“Ma, I didn’t ask you to come here to talk about fashion.”

“Right, right. What did you need? I have a list of things to get done today. We’re preparing for the ballthat you and Anya are expected to attend. I heard she’s good friends with their boy Jeremy—”
