If you have not read chap 161 and you don't want slight spoilers TURN BACK NOW! Meanwhile, this is how I think the story SHOULD have gone. Italics are thoughts.

If I owned Skip Beat there would have been a naughty Ren/Kyoko scene in the dressing room a long time ago so obviously I don't.

Leaving an Impression

Ren sat at the table looking at the bowl of soup she made.

That girl was able to put on such a calm face… Even though he knew he would have been hurt if Kyoko had freaked out after seeing him in the shower, the fact that she didn't freak out hurt more. She still doesn't see me as a man. Even after the evidence was right in her face she didn't notice. Ren sighed and realized that he left his watch in the bathroom because he was in shock from Kyoko walking in on him. The watch he swore to always wear as a reminder to never hurt anyone again was forgotten because his brain was full of thoughts of her and how she didn't look at him.

Meanwhile in the bathroom Kyoko finished her shower and put on the pjs Jelly Woods had given her. A blush spread across her cheeks as she looked at herself in the mirror wearing a black lace camisole and black lace panties with thong straps.

"I can't wear this in front of a man! But I'm supposed to be Setsu and she would walk around in front of her brother in much less because that's how their relationship is. I don't want Tsuruga-san to think I'm not dedicated to my role. I guess it can't be helped."

When she exited the bathroom Setsu saw Cain curled up in the blankets like a cocoon. She gathered his dirty clothes from the bathroom to wash and sat his watch on the nightstand next to his head. When he heard her approach Ren peeked out through an opening in the covers just as she turned away from him exposing her perfectly round backside that was only half covered by the lacy panties.

"How could she walk around like that? Doesn't she realize that I am a man and she is a woman? Does she expect me not to feel what any normal man would?"

Ren had reached the limit of his patience and restraint. Before Kyoko had gotten three steps away he had thrown the covers off, grabbed her arm, and spun her around throwing her on the bed. Both of her wrists were pinned above her head unmovable from his strong grasp and he was breathing heavily.

"Cain Nii-sa-"

"Kyoko! What will it take for you to see me? Does Fuwa have you that blind? Your first love, your first kiss. What's left for me?"

Kyoko was confused and afraid. There was something in his eyes that she had never seen before. The Emperor of the Night was there but also something else. Pain? Desperation? "Tsuruga-san I don't understand."

She was so frightened but he couldn't bring himself to turn back. She didn't acknowledge him as a man or a potential lover and even if it scared her he had to make her see him before it was too late. Before Fuwa Sho or anyone else got any more of her firsts. When she was ready for love he wanted her heart pointed in the right direction and this was the only thing he could think of.

"Kyoko how do you see me? How do you feel when you see me?"

"Tsuruga-san wha-"

"Please just answer the question."

"I…When I see Tsuruga-san I always feel safe somehow. No matter what is worrying me I feel calm when Tsuruga-san is near. Like nothing can touch me."

Well that's a start. Ren thought to himself. "Kyoko, do you know that I will never hurt you? Do you trust me completely?"

"Y-yes." She said in a confused whisper.

"Close your eyes."

Kyoko did as she was told not truly knowing why but she didn't question it. Suddenly she felt soft lips press against hers and opened her eyes in shock. He pulled away and there was a long pause as he waited for her reaction. Not knowing what to say she blurted out the only thing that came to mind.

"Tsuruga-san my arms are numb."

Ren couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't what he expected but it wasn't a rejection either. Right then he made up his mind that tonight there would be no running or confusion. He would make her see him. He would make her feel him. And before another man tried, he would have this first.

He hooked his strong arms underneath her thighs grabbing her waist and lifted her off the bed turning around so that he was in a sitting position and she was straddling him. He kissed her lips again and slowly moved to her neck. Using his tongue to trace the curve above her collar bone he then followed with soft bites. She shivered involuntarily and her nipples became erect. Her response turned him on so much that he bit down on her neck harder making her gasp in pain and indescribable pleasure.

Ren slowly ran his hands up from her waist to her breasts and grazed her nipples with his thumbs. Kyoko's body trembled in his arms making Ren more hungry for her. After one last soft kiss to her neck he moved his mouth down to the nipples that stood at attention through the black lace and sucked.

"Aaahh!" She gasped arching her back instinctively. The sounds escaping her lips were driving Ren wild with desire because he knew that some part of her desired him too. Pulling down the thin straps of her camisole he exposed her breasts which had gotten damp from being sucked through her shirt. Pinching her right nipple between his thumb and index finger he latched on to her left breast with the intensity of a child needing to be fed. He ran his tongue up and down over her nipple and sucked again harder turning the flesh red.

Kyoko was drowning. Sounds she had never heard before were coming from her and she couldn't stop them. What was happening and why did it feel so good? She should stop this. She should stop but she couldn't. She couldn't speak, she couldn't think, she couldn't see anything but him. Suddenly she was afraid. What is this? Why is this happening? I don't think I'm ready.

"Wait!" She had finally found her voice. Ren looked up. "Tsuruga-san wait."

She looks shocked and afraid but I can't let it end here.

"Are you frightened Mogami-san?"

"Yes."

"Do you believe that if you ask me to stop I will?"

"Y-yes."

"So that means you still have trust in me right?"

"…Yes."

"So why are you frightened?"

"B-B-Because I can see the E-Emperor of the Night in your eyes."

The Emperor of the Night? Is that what she calls me? I guess it's better than senpai and it does stroke my ego just a little bit. Ren fought back a smile and said, "The fact that you believe I will stop if you ask me to shows that you trust that I will never hurt you. I can see that you're scared but I can also see that you want me as I want you. Will you trust me Mogami-san, Kyoko? Will you give yourself to me and trust me to cherish you?"

There was something so honest and loving in his eyes and even though she was afraid to say yes, Kyoko couldn't bring herself to say no. I don't know why but I want him to always look at me that way. Only me. Always.

"I-I..."

Ren pressed his lips to hers gently pulling her bottom lip into his mouth. He slid one hand behind her head and the other around her neck lightly caressing with his thumb. He kissed harder spreading her lips apart with his tongue. He ran his tongue over her top and bottom lip then used it to slowly stroke her tongue over and over again until she was brave enough to slide her own out to meet his. As soon as they connected he pulled her tongue into his mouth and sucked it slowly making her release a sensual moan that reverberated through Ren where their mouths connected.

He was suddenly a man possessed. He gripped her under her butt with one arm as he stood and began untying the yukata he was wearing. Once he freed himself he climbed back on the bed so that he was kneeling on his knees and she was still upright straddling him. Before she knew what was happening he had pulled her shirt up and over her head and pushed her on her back so that he could remove her panties.

"Tsuruga-san wait."

But he could not wait any longer. He lowered himself down until his lips grazed her ear.

"Shhhh. The Emperor is holding court."

He finished removing her panties and flipped her over on her stomach. Slowly beginning at the nape of her neck all the way down her spine he began to lick, kiss, and suck the sensitive flesh down the middle of her back as his strong hands reached around and firmly squeezed her breasts.

Kyoko began to shiver and shake uncontrollably as her mind raced. This shouldn't be happening. I should say something. I should stop -aaahhhh- him. I should but, why do I like it so much? Why does it feel so good? Why is Tsuruga-san doing this to me?

"Aahhh!" He had just nibbled the tender flesh of her butt and was now lifting her leg and licking the inside of her thigh.

Why aren't I stopping him? Why am I letting this continue? Why.…Why.…Why….Aaahh…Why…why..why..not?
