Nanao was finally able to let herself go. The war between Aizen and the Soul Society was finally over and her captain was home. She could relax. She was sitting in a bar, alone at the counter, sipping on her sake. A rare sight. That was the reason Shunsui Kyoraku stopped and stared for a moment before taking a seat in the corner so he could observe her. He took in her appearance while sipping on his own sake. She wore a red, short-sleeved shirt that showed just enough cleavage to get a man's mouth watering and dipped down to mid-back and black capris with elegant black heels on her delicate feet. Her hair was up in its usual style but Shunsui still marveled at how beautiful his lieutenant was. He looked away quickly, smiling at the waitress as she refilled his sake, before turning back and allowing his predatory eyes to search her.

Nanao glanced to her left for a moment and choked on her drink.

'Kyoraku Taicho?' her mind went crazy. Had he seen her? Did he realize that it was her? She quickly averted her eyes as she noticed that he was looking her way. Taking another sip of her drink, she mentally huffed.

As the night wore on and Nanao drank more, she grew bolder. She noticed that her bra strap had slid from underneath her shirt and when she managed to tear her eyes away from the offending article of clothing, she saw her Taicho staring at the strap too. Testing a theory, Nanao slowly raised her arm to reach for her drink. The strap pushed against her arm as it was stretched taut against her skin and pulled her shirt away from her body. She saw his eyes flare with what she could only describe as passion and desire. She smirked lightly to herself.

Taking a sip of her drink, she set her glass back onto the counter and noted every move he made. She Slid a finger around the edge of her glass noticed as his eyes flared exactly the way they had before. Lifting the glass to her lips, she sipped her drink before setting the glass back on the counter. She slowly poked her tongue out, licking her lips, and watched as he worked his jaw. She finally pulled the strap of her bra back up her arm, grazing her fingers along her skin, and tucked it back beneath her shirt. He clenched his hand on the tabletop and she had to pretend to sip her drink again to hide her smirk. Finally, she stood and prepared to leave. She lifted her arms above her head, taking the clip out of her hair as she went, and stretched languidly, arching her back and pushing her rear out as her hair cascaded from its prison. She bit her lip, trying to contain her smile as his eyes widen and his fists clenched. She made her way towards the door, wondering how such small gestures could get him so riled up.

Once outside, Nanao leaned forward onto the railing separating the bar from the riverbank. Of course, just moments later, she heard the door open behind her and smiled. The scent of sakura blossoms and sake drifted into her nostrils and her heart started to pound. Finally, she felt his looming presence at her back and his large warms hands slid onto her hips. Nanao closed her eyes for a moment, willing herself to relax, and leaned into his chest, his shock at this palpable.

"It took you longer to come out here than I thought it would Taicho." She whispered. Once again, she felt his surprise.

"What if I had been somebody else Nanao-chan? Wouldn't you have felt awkward?" he asked her. She shook her head.

"I don't know anybody else in that bar who would want to follow me out here." She felt his chuckle reverberate from deep within his chest.

"I'm sure there are plenty of men in there itching to be alone with you Nanao-chan." He said. She heard something in his voice though. He said it as a joke but she heard something resembling…jealousy? Was he jealous when other men looked at her?

"As impossible as that sounds, I'm sure you're right. But nobody else…was staring at me." Nanao smirked as he went quiet. After what seemed like minutes, Shunsui spoke;

"You noticed?" Nanao actually let a little laugh escape her lips, shaking her head before answering him.

"Of course I noticed." There was silence once again as she let this sink in. After a moment, Shunsui spun her around, an incredulous look on his face.

"S-so all that…that stuff you did. That stuff you did in there! You did that because you knew…you knew I was watching?" for once, it was her turn to surprise him. She had been with him for centuries and she had finally surprised him. She nodded, hiding her smile by bowing her head. His hands slid slowly from her hips to her neck. Nanao watched him through her lashes and blinked, confused, as a slow grin crept onto his face, starting at the corners of his lips and slowly spreading, almost cracking his face. He cupped the back of her head and neck as his thumb stroked her jaw. He leaned in, putting his free hand against the railing, his face dangerously close.

"You little vixen. You little minx." He breathed. Nanao blushed and averted her eyes. Shunsui lifted his other hand from the railing and caressed her cheek, turning her head to look her in the eyes. "You desirable, undeniable, beautiful little temptress." Nanao felt her cheeks heat up as he finally slid his hand from her cheek back to her hip, barely grazing her curves as he went. What had she gotten herself into? She lifted her hands to rest on the wrist of the hand still stroking her cheek, looking into those big doe eyes of his.

"Taicho?" she asked weakly. It felt like his eyes were draining her. 'My knees feel so weak.' She thought.

"Yes my beautiful, gorgeous Nanao-chan?" he smiled. Nanao took a deep breath before taking his hand and stepping away. She saw the hurt and confusion in his eyes.

"Nanao-chan?" he asked confusedly. She gave a small, reassuring smile.

"Don't worry Taicho." She started "You know I'm not one to flirt but that means you should also know that I wouldn't be one to tease and just leave a man wanting. Not this vixen. Not this minx." Her eyes were half lidded as she smiled at him. He leaned closer, entranced, his lips only centimeters from hers.

"Not this temptress." She whispered huskily, pulling away again and tugging on his hand. Shunsui's eye widened as he allowed her to pull him after her.
