"What's the matter?" Aaron asked his sister after lunch. "What is this important matter you wanted to talk to me about?"
"May I go to town with Nikita this afternoon?" Kira asked.
"Why?" inquired Aaron.
"I have a meeting with Yuri."
"It's not possible. Dad will be furious if something happens to you and I will never forgive myself."
"No one knows us here. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me. Ours and Yuri's men will be with me." Kira tried to convince her brother. She was impulsive and reckless, she loved to play but hated to worry others. If her brother refused to let her go, she would stay.
"You call me immediately if there's a problem. And when you get to town, call me and bring Timur, Valery and Egor with you," Aaron declared.
"Yes, father," Kira teased her brother. "I have already contacted Renat, he is on his way to take Nikita's place."
As the clock had struck noon, Kira hastened to change and prepare herself, while Aaron made his way to Giovanni's office to request a mode of transportation for his sister who was journeying to the city. Giovanni granted them permission to utilize the helicopter.
"Before that, might you grace me with a kiss?" Giovanni inquired of Aaron, as a token of gratitude for his recent assistance.
"No," Aaron replied, turning away and heading towards the door to depart. He seized the handle to open it and suddenly felt Giovanni's breath upon his neck, sending shivers down his spine. Aaron took Giovanni's hand, which rested on the handle, covering it with his own. Giovanni rested his elbow upon Aaron's shoulder, his hand still intertwined with Aaron's, while his other hand encircled Aaron's waist from behind.
"Just one kiss," Giovanni implored, almost beseechingly. "Aaron. Just one." Aaron slowly turned his head, the head alone. "Just one!" he reiterated. "Just one," Giovanni assured.
Giovanni released Aaron's hand, and in turn, Aaron let go of the door handle. Then, Giovanni pivoted Aaron, twirling his figure to face him. He cradled Aaron's head in his hands, planting a tender kiss on the tip of his nose, his eyelids, and finally upon his lips.
He had promised Aaron only one kiss, but the duration had not been specified. He gently nibbled on Aaron's lips, sucked on them, and slipped his tongue into his mouth. He pulled him closer, playing with passion... Aaron was breathless, but Giovanni gave him no respite, holding him firmly by the hip and head. As their kiss became more and more intense, the door suddenly opened. Olivia's voice resonated in the room. Aaron tried to break free from Giovanni's embrace, but the latter did not release his grip, completely ignoring his sister's presence.
Olivia, feeling uncomfortable with the scene she had just witnessed, exclaimed a brief "Oops. Sorry" before closing the door behind her. She stood behind the door, trying to come to terms with what she had just seen. When the door finally opened to her, it was Aaron who rushed out of Giovanni's office. His face, neck, and hands were completely red, reflecting the intense emotion that had just overwhelmed them.
"I'm sorry, can I come in?" Olivia asked, anxious about what her brother would do.
"Come in," Giovanni replied in a hoarse, breathless voice.
Giovanni was sitting on his desk, one hand resting on the table and the other caressing his lips. He reminisced about the intense moment he had just experienced. He savored the taste of Aaron's lips on his own, licking his lips with a certain satisfaction.
"Ah, it seems someone is on cloud nine!" remarked Olivia, seeing her brother beaming with happiness.
"I would be even happier if you hadn't interrupted us," Giovanni replied with a mischievous smile.
"My apologies, I thought the door was closed."
"It doesn't matter. What's going on?"
"I heard that Kira is going to town, and I am going with her as I have some business to attend to."
"Alright. You did not need to tell me. But I am glad you did. I need you to do me a favor."
"What kind of favor? I will do anything to make it up to you."
"Buy me some condoms, as I forgot to bring any."
Olivia burst into laughter.
"Already at that stage, are you? Alright, I will take care of it. And Giovanni... how are you feeling?"
"I feel better than ever. But I feel myself becoming dependent. Aaron is addictive, my dear sister. The moment our lips part, I miss him. Even when he is right beside me, I miss him. And..."
"And what?"
"I am his first man!" He smiled, radiating happiness.
"I told you he wasn't gay."
"It's not that. He has never had a partner, whether male or female."
Olivia found it hard to believe. Aaron was in his thirties and still a virgin.
"I will not let anyone else touch or come near him. I would kill anyone who dared to approach him. I will not let anyone defile him." His eyes darkened, frightening his sister. "He can only belong to me, no one else."
