Three Ways to Run from an Esper

Part 10

      Joonghyuk sighed as he finished his latest report in his office and leaned back in his chair.
      It had been three weeks since the kidnapping incident, and while Joonghyuk was trying not to be overbearing, his guide was making it difficult.
     He looked down at his smart watch and opened the GPS app on Dokja's collar. It showed he was in the training arena.
      His guide had been so busy the past few weeks. Between sword practice, guiding lessons, looking after the kids, and apparently flirting with every esper in the guild, Joonghyuk barely got to see him.
       Just yesterday he had gone down to the training arena and found Dokja showing Lee Hyunsung his latest moves.
      Joonghyuk had immediately interrupted and made up an excuse for Hyunsung to go check in a dungeon.
     Dokja had immediately seen through his excuse and reprimanded him for his jealousy.
      Joonghyuk huffed. He must be the only esper in the world who got bossed around by his own guide.
     Well, he knew that wasn't true since Jung Heewon had such command over Hyunsung, but he never thought of himself as a pushover like that golden retriever esper.
      He knew he had an S class dungeon raid tomorrow, so he messaged Dokja to meet him in the penthouse when he was done training.
     Thirty minutes later, Dokja walked into the living room.
     Joonghyuk immediately walked up to him.
    "I have an S class mission tomorrow, so I'll need some guiding." He said.
      "Ok, let me just shower real quick, I'm all sweaty from practice."
       "I don't mind." Joonghyuk said as he wrapped his arms around the smaller man's waist.
       Dokja just swatted his hands away.
       "Well I do. Go sit down and wait." Dokja ordered before going into the bathroom.
        Joonghyuk sighed and plopped down on the couch to wait.
       He tried to calm down. He wasn't really in desperate need for guiding. He was in better shape recently than he'd ever been in his life.
     He realized recently that his desire to touch Dokja had nothing to do with his guiding energy, but he knew guiding was the only excuse he could give in order to touch him.
      Dokja walked out of the bathroom in a baggy t-shirt and sweatpants with a towel hung around his shoulders as he dried his hair.
     He walked over to Joonghyuk and sat down beside him.
     They held hands as Dokja guided him.
     "You seem even more quiet than usual today, what are you thinking about?" Dokja asked after a few minutes.
      Joonghyuk looked at the inquisitive guide before the words just slipped out of his lips.
      "Can I kiss you?" He asked bluntly.
     Dokja immediately blushed, "Why? You don't seem in urgent need of guiding."
      "I'm not asking for guiding." Joonghyuk answered.
      This response made Dokja's face grow even redder.
      "W-why are you saying this out of nowhere?" Dokja asked as he looked down.
       Joonghyuk reached out and gently tilted Dokja's chin to look up and meet his eyes.
      "I thought I'd made myself clear about my feelings towards you."
       Dokja wrenched his face away. "That's because of our guiding compatibility. You make it sound like you actually like... me."
      Joonghyuk leaned over and whispered in his ear. "I can promise you there's many things I like about you besides your guiding."
      He gently kissed Dokja's neck. "For instance, you have a personality that somehow manages to anger and seduce me at the same time. You're reckless when it comes to your own well being, but you care for everyone around you in a way that drives me crazy with jealousy. If only I could make you look only at me. Make it to where you'd never see anyone but me and I could have you completely to myself." Joonghyuk whispered as he continued to place kisses down Dokja's neck.
      At this point, Dokja's face was the same shade as a tomato.
      He tried to push the esper away, but this time he wasn't budging.
      "But I told you I would try to be less overbearing. I know you want freedom, so I'm desperately trying to control myself. You should reward me for my restraint." He said as he looked into his guide's eyes.
      Dokja huffed. "You act like you're some kind of saint."
      Before Joonghyuk could respond, he suddenly felt a warmth on his lips.
      Dokja had his eyes shut while the blush continued to burn on his face. Joonghyuk couldn't believe his guide had actually yielded to his request.
      Dokja pulled away far too quickly. "But I suppose you deserve a small reward every now and again." He finished shyly.
      Joonghyuk had reached the end of his restraint. He grabbed the back of Dokja's head and pulled him back into a passionate kiss. Using his tongue to invade Dokja's small mouth.
      After minutes of kissing, which felt like pure bliss to Joonghyuk, he let Dokja go and looked down at his panting guide.
      "Geez, so much for restraint! I don't even know if that can be counted as a kiss anymore with how invasive you were!" Dokja complained.
      "I'd like to do far more than just that." Joonghyuk responded while admiring the flushed and disheveled look of his guide.
      "I think that's more than enough for today. I'm gonna go to the library for a bit." Dokja hastily said before getting up and running out of the room.
      Joonghyuk couldn't help but smile at his guide's cute shyness. Dokja was normally so stubborn and bold that seeing him blush drove Joonghyuk crazy.
     He wished he didn't have to leave tomorrow. If he could, he would spend all day by Dokja's side, but knew he needed to go get ready for his mission.
      He looked down at the bulge in his pants. 'I guess I should take care of this first.' He thought to himself.
