"Byakuya?"
Adeline gasped as she pulled open the heavy door. Captain Byakuya Kuchiki was sitting behind his desk, visibly annoyed at her intrusion. He furrowed his dark brow at the sound of his name, narrowing his eyes at her. Why does she insist on addressing me so informally.
"Im...I'm so sorry Byakuya...ehh..I mean Captain Kuchiki." She said bowing deeply, her damp hair falling over her shoulders. Byakuya noticed the drops dripping from her hair and took in her appearance. She was soaked, leaving wet spots all over his office floor. Her wet uniform, he noticed clung to her body accenting her beautiful curves.
"Why have you come here?" He asked. His voice was filled with such authority she had to clench her thighs, how could his voice hold so much power over her body? She blushed hoping he hadn't noticed the way she responded.
"Uh.. well.." She started, coming fully into his office and shutting the door behind her. "I was out walking when it started to pour. I got a little lost and this was the first building I came across so I came here to wait for the rain to stop. I've been sitting just outside the door."
Byakuya tilted his head forward, allowing her a curt nod, but his gaze didn't lower. He kept staring into her hazel eyes. They had often reminded him of something but he couldn't quite place it. The flush of her cheeks reminded him of such pleasurable activities he'd given up long ago. It had been entirely too long since he had shard the company of a woman.
Normally Byakuya was able to keep his composure and push away such thoughts, but not around Adeline. She made it so much more difficult, the delicate curves of her body calling out to him, begging to be touched. Byakuya allowed his eyes to close briefly as the memory of his late wife returned, once again filling him with an anguished sense of shame. Is it not normal to be a man and have these urges?
Byakuya stood from his desk and walked over to her, handing her a spare shihakusho he kept for emergencies.
"Here." He said handing it to her. "You must be cold."
"Oh, Thank you Byakuya. I mean. Captain Kuchiki." She managed a weak smiled.
Byakuya turned around slowly waking back to his desk allowing her some privacy as she stripped off her wet cloths.
Adeline pulled off her clothes, and wrapped herself in his kosode. His frame was so much so larger than hers that she was practically engulfed in it. She folded it around her waist, using her wet obi to tie it closed and rolled up the long sleeves. Hiking up the ends so it didn't drag on the floor, Adeline walked over quietly placing her small had on his back, indicating that she had finished changing.
Byakuya was surprised when she touched him. He had not expected to feel electrified at her gentle touch. He sat behind his desk forcing himself to return to his work.
"Why did you come barging into my office?"
"Oh. Well.." she said as she perched herself at the edge of his desk. Adeline raised her hand to her hair attempting to tame the damp mess. "I thought I had lost a hair ribbon in here the other day when I came in. I figured I might as well look for it. I didn't expect you to be here this late..."
Byakuya reached his hand into his inner pocket and pulled out a long golden ribbon. He wrapped it around his slim fingers, under the desk away from her sight. While listening to her soft voice Byakuya recalled the other day when she had come into his office. She needed him to sign some documents from the head captain.
When she first walked in the light from the window had caught the ribbon just right, the reflection making it appear to glow brilliantly. When she'd presented him with the documents she had taken the liberty of standing behind him, waiting for him to sign. As Adeline waited she had begun playing with her hair, taking it down and running her fingers through the glossy platinum strands, a surprising distraction to his normally focused attention.
When Adeline noticed that he hadn't moved to sign anything she had leaned down close to point out which papers needed his signatures, which had only distracted him further. The shimmering strands of her hair falling across her shoulder filling him with the scent of sweet berries had tempted him, so much so that he questioned on whether her lips would taste just as sweet as her scent.
Byakuya had forced himself to sign the documents allowing her to claim them from the table top. It wasn't until she left the room that he breathed a sigh of relief. He'd stood to his feet and looked out the window trying desperately to regain his composure when he'd noticed the gold ribbon on his floor. Byakuya had planned to return it but, he hadn't been able to bring himself to part with it. Instead he'd been harboring the keepsake in the pocked of his shihakusho allowing himself to wrap his fingers around it on occasions.
"Captain Kuchiki?"
Byakuya stilled as his thoughts were disrupted, bringing him back to the present. His hand opened instinctively forcing him to let go of the ribbon, letting it fall to the floor.
"Did you hear what I said?" Adeline asked with a small smile.
He hadn't, he'd been too caught up in the memory. Byakuya turned his head a fraction of an inch inviting her to repeat what she had said with the lift of his brow.
"I asked if you wanted to be alone now. I can wait in another room if you'd like."
"Do as you wish." Byakuya replied returning to his work. He was hoping that she would chose to stay.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to just sit here with you, its just nice to not be completely alone, you know?" Adeline smiled at him.
Even her smile had a hint of sadness, Byakuya looked into her eyes and somehow, in that moment felt bonded to her, to her emptiness.
Captain Kuchiki wasn't a man of many words, but Adeline found she didn't have too big a problem communicating with him. She liked being in his company. Most of the time he just sat there, and he didn't seem to be bothered by her presence like the rest of the seireitei. Sometimes she thought she was nothing more than an annoyance to him but he had yet to comment. She took to doing most of the talking herself, telling him all about losing her husband, her shinigami powers manifesting, when she met Kisuke Urahara who trained her for five years before arranging it for her to come here. It felt good to think of the captain as kind of a friend to her in a world that had been so cold to her. She felt like one of her patients, sitting for hours talking, letting it all out.
Adeline sat in silence, staring out the window next to his desk. She reached up and grabbed her damp hair, and started twisting it together into a long braid all while watching the rain as it dropped heavily against the glass.
Why does she seem content to just sit in my presence as if it was calming to her. He wondered as he watched her.
Byakuya found himself hypnotized by her beauty. Her skin appeared to glow in the moon light, contrasted by the blackness of his kosode. He watched as she twisted together the stands of her hair, her long slender fingers glided over the soft looking locks. Byakuya felt a longing, imaging what It would feel like for those hands to caress his own hair and felt his face flush instantly.
Hisana, what would you think of me right now? The weight of his loss hit him and he felt the despair of her absence yet again.
Looking over at Adeline Byakuya imagined burying his grief deep within her, sending a wave of lust so strong he almost stood from his chair but he stilled as that though occurred to him. Would Adeline even accept him? He knew she too mourned a spouse.
Forcing his eyes closed he clinched his fist tightly at his sides, he had played it out in his mind so many times. Adeline was married before so she was experienced and she wasn't likely to get attached to him like a virgin would. Perhaps she would accept him just for one night? He wanted more than anything to pick the woman he made love to after his wife. He could withstand marrying anyone the clan chose for him, if he just had this last choice.
Turning his gaze back to his work his emotions were thick and sensations overwhelmed him. He felt almost sickened by his moment of weakness. It was getting harder for him when Adeline was around and she was coming around so often now he was starting to think he should just tell her to leave.
"Adeline." Byakuya said having finally reached a decision.
Adeline turned her head to face him with a soft smile that hid her sadness a little. Truth was she loved being in his silence because his presence was comforting to her but she had loved the rare occasion when he allowed himself to speak to her even more. She liked the sound of his voice, it was strong and commanding filled with such authority and she often found her body react when he called out her name.
Byakuya paused. He wanted to tell her to leave but he couldn't bring himself to say so, instead, his haunted grey eyes stared at her, making her stare back in confusion. He watched her smile fade, as she stood understanding his intent.
"Thanks for letting me sit with you Captain. Have a good night."
Adeline walked towards the door, picking up her wet cloths from the corner. Before she could pull the door open, Byakuya stood from his chair his body tensing to use shunpo.
"Adeline!" He called her name as if it were a command.
Adeline paused about to turn and face the desk but gasped as he appeared in front of her dropping her cloths in surprise. She could not bear to be so close to him. She could feel her body reacting to his presence, her heart beating faster, her insides clenching as she felt his breath on her skin. She closed her eyes and held her breath, soaking up as much of his presence as she could, wanting to remember the way it felt to be so close to him. When she opened her eyes Byakuya had reached out his hand and she leaned into his touch, sighing as he brushed a piece of hair out of her eyes. Looking into his eyes she saw sadness reflected in his steel gaze.
She gathered up her courage and reached out her own hand, placing it against his cheek, her thumb rubbing under his eye, as if to wipe away an invisible tear. She let her hand trail down his face and he turned his head slightly and grabbed it, closing his hand around her small arm stopping at his mouth. She felt a slight pucker against her skin as he placed his other hand around her waist and pulled her closer. Adeline leaned her forehead against him and let out a low whimper. The sound sent a longing through him that he hadn't felt in years, his resolve now at its breaking point as he realized she would return his affections. Byakuya leaned forward, pressing his lips against her ear as he whispered to her.
"Can you be discreet?"
Adeline allowed herself a half laugh.
"I'm a licensed therapist in the world of the living. Discretion is sort of my game."
"Very well."
Before Adeline could speak she found herself being pressed up against his office door. His hot mouth covered her's, assaulting her with such sweet sensations. His kiss was powerful and claiming, sending a rush of heat through her body. His hands which had pinned her arms above her head had began to greedily explore her body, first her hair then sliding down the back of the neck, pulling her into his kiss.
Adeline was stunned by his behavior. Byakuya pulled back and sought her gaze, silently he looked into her eyes seeking permission. Her sadness seem to be replace with arousal, her breast heaved heavily as she sucked in excited breaths her lips now swollen from his assault. Adeline stared into his eyes and was met with liquid steel so captivating that she reached out and tugged at the sash that held his shihakusho in place, exposing his lean chest. Allowing her eyes to close she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his chest then trailed more slowly up towards the side of his neck and panted softly against his ear.
"Please, Byakuya."
Adeline heard his soft moan as she pulled his ear into her mouth and suckled. She felt his strong hands reach down tearing at her obi, ripping it in the process. The borrowed kosode fell open, exposing her body to him. Byakuya reached his hands around her, caressing her soft skin as he reached down to grip behind her thighs lifting her towards his body pinning her against the door with his pelvis. Her skin reacted to his touch sending waves of pure ecstasy flooring through her body. Adeline wrapped her legs around his middle, moaning as her stomach fluttered with excitement. She couldn't believe how intoxicating his kiss was, rendering her incapable of rational thought.
Wrapping her arms around his neck holding him closer to herself she began rocking her hips. The stimulation sent her over the edge as she succumbed to her primal urges feeling her desire soak his hakama. He moaned in her ear as she rode him softly, wanting to feel him fully.
Fueled by her passion Byakuya was unable to restrain himself any further. He reached his hands down untying the cloth that bound his hakama together. Adeline used her legs to push them down the curve of his cheeks. She felt his shaft sprang forward, briefly intimidated by his length before he spread her, pushing himself in making her cry out in surprise as she gripped down on his shoulders. She tilted her head back, closing her eyes, a small tear slipping from the corner before she could stop herself.
Byakuya stilled, surprised by her tightness, worried he would hurt her. She brought her head down on his shoulder and panted heavily in his ear encouraging him as she brought her hips up slowly while he thrusted inside her. He grunted while straining against the desire to pound her harder as she cried out his name, her sultry voice filled with such passion.
Using her hands she pushed back on his chest, leaning against the wall changing the angle of his thrust. She rode him stretching herself, preparing to take more of him in her. Gyrating her hips using his pelvis to stimulate herself she cried out to him. When their eyes locked she saw the raw pleasure riddled along his stoic face, his brow furrowed looking almost pained. Adeline ran her hands along his shoulders, pulling his open shihakusho down his arms before reaching her arms around him again to whisper in his ear.
"Please, don't hold back anymore!"
Byakuya was charged at her words. Letting his clothing fall off his arms he gripped his hands together under her and walked her back over to his desk, still inside her as she teased him squeezing her muscles around his shaft and whispering into his ear. He placed her gently on the desk and brought his mouth down to taste her again as she placed his hands on her swollen breast.
Breaking their kiss he stared into her eyes enjoying her expression as he rubbed her. Adeline twitched around him as he tugged and pulled at her sensitive nipples. He could feel her drenching his shaft and began to tease her more. Her body responded to his touch beautifully and he came apart as she dug her hands into his hair bringing his mouth down to taste her beautiful nipples.
She clutched him to herself as he sucked on her hard nipples his hands gripping her breast so hard they turned red. He teased her switching from using his hands and teeth driven mad with lust for her as she moaned. Adeline fought to catch her breath as her body trembled with pleasure so intense she thought she would fall apart.
Byakuya laid her down gently before standing up and thrusting again, this time more forcefully now that she had been stretched. Adeline matched his pace bringing her hips up gripping the edge of his desk before she brought her hands down to rub at her swollen clitoris. White hot pleasure soared though her body as he trusted in and out of her. Byakuya looked on in wonderment as she stared into his grey eyes, his passion inflamed by her actions. She arched her back begging him for more desperate to feel him let go. She wanted to take care of him.
He gripped her by her thighs, using them for leverage as he allowed himself to finally let go, giving her what she wanted and sating his lust.
His thrust came hard and deep, jarring her body forward. He watched with satisfaction as her luscious breast bounced with each hard angled thrust. Her passion filled cries echoed around the room and he grunted as he felt her tighten around him, ready for his release. He kept his relentless pace, pounding into her while the desk moved under her. She gasped and groaned as each thrust of his hips sent shockwaves of ecstasy coursing through her body.
"Yes! Yes!" She cried out as she sat up placing her wight on one arm as the other wrapped around his neck for leverage. "Don't stop!"
He gripped her hips roughly as he thrusted into her mindlessly, his hips slamming into her like a piston as her cries of absolute rapture filled his ears. Byakuya's eyes rolled as he felt her core clinch against him telling him she was seeking to come, he wanted to feel her milk his shaft.
Leaning his body down, he kept his pace as he reached down to grab her hair, wrapping the braid around his hands and tugging slightly. Adeline cried out as he pushed her over the edge. Byakuya watched with satisfaction as her body tensed underneath him, her core clinching down on him, squeezing him even tighter with every hard thrust. Adeline yelled his name as her body soared, like an internal explosion her core erupted against his shaft, pulling him in deeper, milking his release from him.
Adeline collapsed on the desk, unable to hold herself up any longer. Slowly, he eased himself out from inside her before walking over to sit in his chair.
He met her gaze and he saw what he had done to her, what he was able to make her feel. Adeline's beautiful hair was mess, sticking up in all directions. Her eyes were heavy and still glazed over with lust as she fought to catch her breath. Her beautiful skin was flushed pink and coated with a sheen of sweat.
Byakuya reached his hand out and stroked her face gently and she kissed his fingers in return. Closing her eyes for several minutes, Adeline tried to regain her composure. When she opened them again, she was covered up and she realized she had fallen asleep. Blinking her eyes, she looked around the room but it seemed that he had already left. Adeline slid off the desk and walked over to the window and peered out, pulling the shirt tight around her, she saw him standing under the moonlight, fully dressed looking up at the stars. He had a somber look on his face and if she had a guess, he was feeling guilty about losing control the way he did. Adeline longed to run out to him, to press her hands against his face and assure him it was okay, but, she knew better; sometimes it was alright to approach him, but this time it was best to leave him be.
Turning around she allowed her self to sit in his chair as she looked around for paper and ink. Looking down, she saw her ribbon laying on the floor and bent to pick it up. Did he have this the whole time?
Finally locating the paper and ink she wrote him a note;
Byakuya
Thank you for easing the loneliness if only briefly. Being with you is the only thing that keeps me here. Let's stay friends, okay.
Much love,
Adeline
Carefully, she rolled it up, tied it with her golden hair ribbon and placed it on his desk before she stood. Holding the kosode tight around her, she made her way to the door. She paused looking over at the desk, this memory; she would keep in her heart forever she thought. Adeline sighed as she stepped out into the hallway and scurried back to her room. She would have to find a way to give him his kosode back tomorrow, that is if she got up early enough.
Adeline smiled as a feeling washed over her, she would be sleeping soundly for the first time since coming to the soul society.
