I'd always marvelled at the strength he possessed- Quiet, subtle…Deadly when he was in one of his darker moods. His entire body pulsed with barely concealed power, lithe muscles rippling beneath skin as smooth as my own and posture, though seemingly humbled, leant towards the kind that often reminded me of a jungle cat. Majestic, proud- each movement calculated to a degree.
But what I admired most, was the strength of his hands; dry, rough and capable of many feats, from protecting a loved one and quieting the cries of a frightened child to mending a broken fence and washing stubborn stains out of the most delicate of cloths.
"Mm…Ken-…shin…"
Those hazy thoughts floated through my lust riddled mind as I arched upwards into those knowing caresses- And when that abrasive warmth cupped my bare breast, I couldn't help but thank Kami-sama for thrusting him into a world that dictated that he learnt to use a sword.
His body covered my own stilling my writhing movements with his delicious weight, one hand pinned my wrists above my head whilst its twin gripped my hip with possessive force. Passion lidded his eyes, violet turned golden with desire; lips parting to whisper my name…And with a measured thrust of his hips, my thoughts lost all coherency.
A little while later, basking in the afterglow of our 'little practice' as he liked to name it when in polite company, I thread my smaller fingers with his own, delighting in the differences of texture between his palm and mine- Where I was smooth, he was coarse; where I was small, he was large.
I frowned.
Alright, only slightly larger, for didn't his gi and hakama fit me rather well?
I shift into a more comfortable position, disturbing his light doze, and he turns to look at me with a lazy smile.
"Sessha would like to know what Kaoru-dono is thinking, that he does."
I return the smile with a goofy grin, and snuggle into his lean shoulder.
"I'm just thinking about how much I love your hands."
He blinks with mild surprise, followed by his trademark "Oro?" and I laugh gently, flicking his nose with a dismissive shake of my head.
He settles back with a soft yawn, drawing me closer for mutual warmth and emotional reassurance and I curl up against him with a contented sigh; my eyes closing eventually from exhaustion.
Some woman prefer the eyes, other's say the face in its entireity. But I will always stick adamantly to my decision- Kenshin's hands will always be my favourite part of his body.

Spirit: Yo! My first Kenshin one-shot thingy (One of many!) I stole the idea from 10Passions on LJ (Can't remember who created it cough) So yeah...I'm not sure which theme will be next, but I think all of these will be KenshinxKaoru. There may be a MegumixSanouske...Maybe. 3 Read and review my loyal readers!
