Chapter 2

Ryder was the first to get up the next morning, while his buddies were still sleeping like pigs on the carpeted floor. Luke's left foot was on Marius' face, and Luke was contentedly hugging Marius' right foot like a bolster.

Meanwhile, Dylan was on the couch, his head and right arms swinging, and his left leg was dangling from the couch's backrest like a hook. Ryder laughed. He took some pictures with his phone, which was on the center table.

"Come on, people, you've never changed," he remarked, laughing

"Hey, morons, wake up, come on, wake up, you pigs," Ryder said while tickling their armpits

"Arg!" "Five more minutes," Luke groane

The three eventually got up, freshened up, cleaned the room, and then went upstairs. The four guys smiled upon exiting the elevator. They could smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the food already prepared on the table, which tickled their nostrils

"Ahh, Riley, you're the best," Ryder said, clasping his palms after seeing Riley brewing the coffee

"Morning guys, have your breakfast, please." Riley then motioned with his hand for them to sit down. "Morning Riley," the four said in unison, like children waiting for their mother to feed them.

Master Ryder, I brought your office stuff and suits here; we can go to the office straight away. You have three meetings scheduled with the investors for today." Riley informed hi

"Oh, Riley, you truly are stubborn, huh? I told you, don't call me master when we're just around our buddies, mm?" Ryder pressed Riley's shoulder blade, but not enough to cause harm

"Oh, sorry, hehe," Riley said, then chuckled. He was just kidding

After breakfast, Marius and Dylan left and went to their homes, while the only one left at the headquarters was Luke with his computers

Ryder and Riley go directly to the office. The employees lined up on both sides with their heads down. Ryder walked ahead while Riley was behind him two steps away. Ryder walks straight with a cold and impassive attitude. Even though he was wearing an eye mask, everyone could still feel the coldness emanating from him, sending everyone shivering down the spine

Everyone was holding their breath until Ryder and Riley entered the private lift. Riley presses the 51st, the highest floor level that serves as the CEO's office. Everyone breathed out in relief when they heard the door of the lift close. They all get back to their respective workplaces and do their usual tasks

Ryder is the CEO of the Xiao Group of Companies. owns eight five-star hotels within China and ten shopping malls. from commercial banks, corporate banks, investment banks, and private banking. two luxury cruise ships that traverse Asia, America, Europe, Africa, and Australia, and a private airline that specializes in providing services and chartering to VVIPs.

Meanwhile, at the police quarter

Officer Kyle, here is the autopsy report of Mr. Philip Wen," said Officer Kole

"Thank you." Chief Wells arrived at the office, and then they discussed the report together with the team

Officer Kyle pointed out the bullet that was recovered from the old Mr. Philip's forehead

"There's a black rose engraved on the silver bullet. This bullet is customized, and I don't think it is made here in the country. Black Rose is not an ordinary individual." Kyle explained

Chief Wells nodded in agreement with Kyle's statement

"Starting next week, we're going to have a new team member. He came from Shanghai; his name is Jaxxon Wang. He is one of the best detectives in Shanghai and once handled a case regarding Black Rose. Unfortunately, this Black Rose is so lucky and always gets away. Officer Kyle, you will team up with him once he arrives and joins us," Chief Wells informed

"Yes Sir."

"Okay, dismiss everyone; please go back to your work.

At night in the dark alley, Black Rose was standing at the top of the three-story building wearing his trademark all-black suit and mask. Only a few people were passing the narrow street when he heard a woman's screams, but they disappeared so soon. Black Rose looked around. It was a habit of his whenever he had leisure time to catch some criminals on the street and in alleyways

Black Rose looked in the direction of the voice earlier, and then he spotted silhouettes in the dark alley, thanks to the lamppost that was still blinking

The man is pressing a woman against the wall while covering her mouth with his left hand, and the right hand is holding the woman's wrists above her head while forcefully kissing her. Black Rose grabbed the man on the shoulder and threw a hard punch straight to his face. The woman was crying and trembling terribly; her legs wobbled, causing her to collapse on the ground.

"What the fuck?! Who the hell are you?!" The said man growled while kneading his dislocated jaws.

He quickly got up and tried to attack Black Rose, throwing a punch. However, Black Rose is fast enough to avoid him. Black Rose twisted his arms around his back and pressed him against the concrete wall

"Bastard, people like you don't deserve to live in this world; now let me escort you to the underworld." Black Rose was then about to twist the man's neck but was halted by a police siren.

"Police officers, hands up!" Kyle ordered while pointing his gun

Black Rose didn't move an inch; instead, he stared at the police officer.

He recalled the man he bumped into in the hotel lobby. He smirked internally

Meanwhile, Kyle and Officer Kole's eyes broadened in surprise. Kyle didn't anticipate that he would encounter Black Rose in the small alley in the slums of places.

"Are you alright, ma'am?" asked Kyle, still pointing his gun at Black Rose. The woman nods, and Kole helps her stand up.

"Officers, this gentleman with a mask saved me from that maniac." The woman mumbled

"Kole, go, handcuff, and bring that man to the car," ordered Kyle.

"And you, Mr. Black man, please don't move and cooperate with us.

Black Rose smirked

"I'm sorry, officer, but I don't think I can accompany you." Black Rose, whose hand is in the air

"Officer Kole, please call backups and head to the post," ordered Kyle. Officer Kole nodded, grabbed the man, and then tied him to the car

Black Rose is about to flee, but Kyle is fast enough to yank Black Rose's arms away

"Please, come with me nicely.

"Oh, I'm afraid I can't, officer." He replied with a smirk and then jerked his arms back, followed by a straight kick that docked on Officer Kyle's abdomen. Kyle staggered back

"Hasta La Vista, officer!" Black Rose then sprinted out of the alley.

"Ugh! Fucking bastard!" Kyle swore. But he is a trained police officer, so a kick like that is not enough to take him down. He got up and chased after Black Rose.

"Just wait, I will fucking kick your balls, you bastard!" He was fuming with irritation.

Meanwhile, Black Rose is running and jumping like a rabbit with a smirk plastered on his lips while glancing back from time to time as if he were deliberately doing it to make the latter angrier.

"You're dead meat! Don't let me catch you, you asshole!

Reaching the abandoned warehouse, Black Rose entered and hid at the back of one of the door frames.

Kyle moved gently into the abandoned warehouse, his pistol pointed anywhere he heard rustling. Looking around, he was abruptly grabbed by a strong hand and pinned against the wall

His right wrist was twisted behind his back, while his left hand was securely gripped in Black Rose's hand, pressed against the wall above his head

Their bodies were touching, with Black Rose's firm shelf pressing against Kyle's back. Kyle could feel Black Rose's thing brushing against his buttocks

"Officer, why are you so desperate to catch me, huh?" Black Rose whispers in his ear

Officer Kyle shivered, and his body hair stood up. Black Rose's hot and minty breaths were fanning into his ear, creating a rippling sensation creeping down to his whole body and suddenly making him feel hot.

"Let go of me, you bastard!" Kyle growled while trying to free himself from Black Rose's claws

"I'm not a bastard, you know? Anyway, what's your name, officer?"

"And why the hell should I tell you my name?

"Oh well," Black Rose smirked. Never mind, I have my ways." He then groped the officer's trouser pocket at the back and took out his wallet.

"Hey!" Kyle tried to wriggle, but it was in vain

"Oh, Kyle Wang, huh?" "What a nice name, baby?

"The hell! I'm not your baby, bastard! Let go of me!" growled Kyle

Black Rose put back his wallet and then reached for the handcuff that was dangling from Kyle's belt.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" He asked, but Black Rose didn't bother to listen to him. He put one handcuff on Kyle's wrist and the other on the pole. He took Kyle's gun and radio away before letting him go

"Release me here! You bastard, stop messing with me! I will fucking kill you, I swear!" Kyle is fuming with anger. He was so mad, his pride was stepped on by a criminal.

Black Rose just laughs at him, then taps Kyle's butt cheeks before kneading them while smirking devilishly

"Ngh!" Kyle groaned, as he is sensitive in that area.

"You're so cute, you know that?

Kyle shut his eyes, restraining the mixed emotions he was feeling

Black Rose held Kyle's left hand and stroked his cheeks. Kyle opened his eyes in shock. Before he could utter a word, Black Rose slammed his lips against Kyle's. Kyle couldn't move at all and was frozen with bulging eyes

Black Rose grinned, seeing Kyle's reaction. He bit Kyle's lower lip and slipped his tongue, licking his teeth. When Kyle parted his mouth, Black Rose didn't waste any moment, and his lustful tongue invaded Kyle's wet and warm cavern. To his surprise, Kyle returns the kiss, tugging on their tongues. Chasing in and out while savoring the sweetness of their slobbe

The kiss becomes aggressive, and their bodies move on their own, grinding against each other

"Mmn!" They groaned in unison. Black Rose halted the kiss first, while Kyle chased his lips with his eyes still closed.

Black Rose smirked and stared at him; Kyle, on the other hand, averted his gaze as he felt a sudden embarrassment after opening his eyes

"You taste so good, baby." He then sneaked a quick peck on Kyle's still-wet lips, then sprinted out of the warehouse, leaving the poor police officer, who was still in a trance and puzzled. After a short while, Black Rose came back.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you; I already informed the police of your whereabouts; they're coming in soon; bye-bye, baby." He then stormed out again, leaving Kyle frozen on his spot.

"Pull yourself together, Kyle Wang," he mumbled after gathering his sanity back

"What the hell am I doing?! What happened just now?" Then he heard someone calling his name

"Here!" he shouted

"What are you doing here?" "What happened to you?" His colleagues were surprised to see him in that hilarious situation

"Oh, please don't ask," he said with obvious annoyance on his face

After doing some reports in the office about the incident, Kyle goes back to his penthouse and quickly takes a shower. While rinsing his body, he recalls what happened earlier. Kyle touches his lips and shuts his eyes

"What the!" he blurted and shook his head. But it seems like his body is being possessed. He can't stop thinking about the kiss and the butterflies he felt when kissing Black Rose. How many times does he curse himself for reacting like that

"Oh, come on, calm down, you little monster down there!" He reprimanded his small monster, but it didn't listen, so he ended up calming it down instead

His head is filled with thoughts about Black Rose as he strokes up and down his rigid member, feeling the rippling sensation

He moans loudly, then realizes he's in a great orgasm, sputtering white, thick fluid on the mirror and some on the floor

"Ah! What is happening to me? You bastard, Black Rose! "Wait till I capture you." Kyle clenched his fist, finished his shower quickly before he got hard again, and tossed his body on the bed after putting on pajamas

Meanwhile, Ryder was laying on his bed, thinking about what had happened earlier. He doesn't understand why he did that to the officer. He was caressing his lips and smiling like an idiot

"But he is cute," he said, imagining their hot make-out with the officer. His face is flushing red like a ripe tomato. Then he covered his face with a pillow.

"I want to taste him again," he mumbled before retiring to the call of the night
