This one is for you, Haruko~ ^^

Chapter Two

Sitting down on what seemed to be a bed, Misaki slowly opened her eyes. When they were fully open, it was to find that her vision was blurry. She gently rubbed at them, but it didn't seem to help. She wasn't sure why, but she was feeling slightly dizzy. Not to mention, she didn't recognize where she was at all. When she glanced around, she saw a blur of black in the distance, but did not feel inclined to investigate.

"Li-kun?" she called out, somehow sensing that he was nearby. "Li?"

She must be imagining things as there was no way that she was actually with him. But to her surprise, she heard gentle footsteps coming from her periphery. She could make out the outline of a person; a bare chest with that tell-tale head of black. It really was Li… He seemed preoccupied as he made his way towards her; his hand busily rubbing at his head with a strip of something white in his hands.

"Li?" she inquired again.

He didn't speak, but stopped in front of her where she was sitting at the end of a bed. He leaned in towards her, but she couldn't see his face clearly. His fingers pulled away the tie that held back her hair. Finally, he dropped that strip of white on her head – a towel. Wordlessly, he began rubbing at her head. For the life of her, she couldn't recall how they had come to be together.

At first, she sat obediently as he continued to dry her hair. Then she became distracted by the obvious nakedness of his chest and how it came to be that way in the first place. Then, another fascination took over her mind as she wondered what it would feel like underneath her fingertips. She had never seen him naked before; just that tantalizing glimpse of sexy collarbone which perpetually peeked out from the opening of his white button-up shirt.

Tentatively, she reached out to touch him, drawing back at the last minute. He didn't notice as he was leaned over her, preoccupied with his task at hand. She tried again, this time pushing away all hesitations. There was only one explanation for her current situation. It was a conscious dream as that was the only time she ever met with Li in scenarios exactly like this one.

Her fingertips rested against his skin and his movements stopped immediately. He didn't pull away, but he seemed to be waiting to see what she did next. When she didn't do anything, he continued to reach behind her and dry the length of her hair. Smiling to herself, Misaki pressed her entire hand against him and again he stopped. She stroked her palm down the length of his chest and she could feel the contours of his muscles. It was an exquisite sensation.

This time, she pressed both hands against his chest and repeated the process. It was fascinating. Despite the strength, the hardness of his muscles, his skin was still soft and smooth. She wasn't sure what she had imagined, but she never imagined that a man would have such smooth skin. She giggled to herself as she continued to analyze her newest discovery.

Unexpectedly, she heard a low growl come from above her as her fingertips rested just underneath the band of his pants. It was such a fierce sound to come from such a sweet and gentle man like Li; she couldn't help giggling. This time, he pulled her hands away from his body and settled them on her lap. Still, he did not speak beyond that feral sound he had released.

She watched as he tossed aside the towel. He reached towards her and she found herself watching as his fingers undid the buttons of her blouse. Her blazer was already missing. He was still outside of her vision, unable to clearly distinguish his features. Even so, it must be him as he had responded to her calling. He was halfway finished with her blouse when she felt the urge to touch him again.

"So soft…"

Another growl filled the silence and she felt his movements pick up pace. Before she knew it, her blouse was being peeled away from her skin. She wasn't given the chance to do anything else as he roughly picked her up and threw her onto the bed. A squeak of surprise escaped her lips. His hand covered her eyes before she felt him lower himself on top of her.

His lips were rough and demanding against hers; a bruising type of kiss that she never imagined coming from him. In dreams prior to this, they were always sweet and gentle, exactly like his personality. Even so, she didn't struggle against him; rather gave herself over to the sensations that were developing. He relented slightly and she sighed against his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

He pulled his hand away, but she didn't bother to open her eyes. She felt so much more this way; every fibre of her being focused on her sense of touch. His hand framed her face as he continued to kiss her. Just when she thought it was too much, he relented and found a different way to tease her. Gentle and sweet; rough and demanding; sultry and lingering; she must have experienced everything.

Eventually, he gave her a respite from the sensual assault on her mind as he rested his head next to hers. The full weight of his body was on top of her, pushing her into the mattress. She opened her eyes and smiled as she buried her fingers into the softness of his hair. She wanted to see his face, but he was facing the other way.

"Misaki," he groaned as she shifted underneath him.

The sound of her name on his lips; the way it was said in a deep voice so unlike the one she was accustomed to hearing. She continued to smile as she ran her fingers up and down, left and right through his hair. His skin was soft; his hair was soft. There was so much about him that she wanted to discover. She shifted again as she tried to find a better position underneath him, causing him to growl again.

Closing her eyes, she let out a soft sound that was a mix between a sigh and a giggle. She didn't know why it amused her so much when he made sounds like that. Perhaps it was due to the shy and quiet nature that he always portrayed in reality. He seemed displeased by her response, retaliating by nibbling on her ear. His lips tickled against a sensitive spot and she gasped in surprise.

"Li-kun…" she murmured.

He responded by continuing what he had started. His lips found their way to hers once more and she felt herself melting into him. She shifted her hold on him, slipping her arms under his, as if to embrace him in a hug. In actuality, it was to press him more firmly against her. He deepened the kiss. She felt herself arching her back against him, a reflex movement, as she dragged her fingernails across his skin.

"L – Li…" she whimpered.

His lips curled into a smile before he pulled away slightly with a lingering touch of his lips to hers. Before she could say anything else, he pulled away completely and propped himself up on one arm. When she opened her eyes and leaned forward to see him better, she felt him press his fingertips lightly to her eyelids, forcing her to close them again. She did. His caress was gentle as he made his way down from her eyes, down her nose and rested them softly against her swollen lips.

He chuckled and Misaki smiled in reply. She wished this moment would last forever. Just the two of them – her and Li. His touch continued straight down; across her chin and down her neck. Eventually, it rested in the valley between her breasts; against the band that connected the two cups of her bra.

Embarrassed by the thought that he was staring at her chest, she struggled against him but the pressing of his palm against her shoulder forced her to stop. She tried not to react, but it was difficult as he continued from where he had left off. His fingertips outlined the cup of her bra, tracing lazily along her skin. Again, she panicked at the idea that she was wearing unflattering underwear.

"Misaki," he murmured huskily. "Stop struggling before I ravish you in an instant."

That voice she never expected of him uttering words she would have never expected from him either. She couldn't help it as she never experienced something like this before; not to mention that this was the most realistic of all the dreams she had to date. She released a small sigh of defeat and he rewarded her with a small peck on the lips. Once more, he continued with what he started.

His fingertips made their way across and to her side where he finally reached underneath her to undo the clasp which held her bra in place. It came apart. He slowly, tantalizingly slid the strap down one side and then the other. It was left dangling between them as she lay there, bare breasted for him to see. She was sorely tempted to throw her arm over herself, but she didn't think she could withstand his retaliations. Instead, she forced herself to wait as all he did was stare.

"Li?" she eventually asked with uncertainty.

"Shh…"

She felt him shifting. Unexpectedly, he buried his face against her chest. His breath was hot and he left whisper kisses along her skin. She grabbed at his shoulder, her fingers digging into his skin as it was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. A moan escaped her lips when he drew a languid circle along her skin with his tongue. She tried to squirm away from him, but he didn't let her as he held her down with a hand at her hip.

"Li!" she cried. "S – Stop…"

He didn't. He teased her for moments longer until she was desperately clutching at him with both hands. Her fingers felt like they had locked in place from her desperate attempt to fight against the rising tension he created within her. Only then did he pull away with a sigh; a sound filled with both pleasure and resignation. He shifted once more and Misaki opened her eyes as his weight was lifted off of her completely.

In her mind, she prayed and pleaded, hoping that she wouldn't wake just yet. After this, she needed completion. Her entire body ached for him; for his kisses and his touch; she wanted it all. A small sigh of relief escaped her lips as he was still there, standing at the end of the bed. She had no idea what he was thinking, but she didn't care. Instead, she held out her arms, willing him to come back to her.

Much to her surprise, he grabbed her by the ankles and slowly pulled her towards him. He stopped when he had room to drop her legs where she was half sitting, half lying down. She waited. He didn't disappoint as he took the time to undo the button and zipper of her pants. Everything came off. She helped as she pulled away her bra and tossed it to the side. He didn't join her immediately and she listened as he did the same with his remaining clothes.

Surprising her again, he pulled her up from the bed and threw her over his shoulder. A squeak of surprise escaped her lips as she found herself staring at his very naked bottom. He walked with her in this fashion to the side of the bed. Misaki didn't bother to worry about what he was doing. Instead, she giggled as she reached out and stroked her hands across the beautifully crafted butt cheeks that he was in possession of.

He growled and Misaki giggled again as it was only fair after he had teased her moments earlier. Even so, he wasn't as accommodating in that regards as she was. He returned the favour by stroking his hand across hers; all the while planting light kisses on the skin exposed along her side. She didn't know if she should laugh or moan as she was both tickled and aroused at the same time.

When he finally stopped, she found herself tossed onto the bed again; this time underneath the covers. He didn't waste time as he joined her. Misaki found herself in a situation similar to what she had been in earlier with him lying fully on top of her. But this time, things were different. He had lost that calm, cool edge he had before and Misaki had the feeling that she had pushed him as far as he had pushed her.

He didn't disappoint as a sense of urgency seemed to come over both of them. Li crushed his lips to hers as he framed her face with both hands. She wrapped her arms around him to pull him as close as possible; the weighty feel of his body pinning her against the mattress. The kiss spurred them on as a carnal desire for each other flooded every inch of their being. She moaned and arched against him when he finally pulled away.

His movements were clumsy as he released her face; his hands stroking down the length of her to rest at her hips. She held onto him like he was her lifeline; the only thing she could do. His knees pushed apart her legs before he shifted and resettled himself on top of her.

In that instant, a moment of pure euphoria; like a heavenly cloud of white had descended from above to envelope the two of them. She thought it was the pinnacle of the moment, but she was wrong. He began to move in a rhythmic fashion as she was pulled along; pushed higher and higher until time reached a standstill. She felt him join her there. Then suddenly everything came crashing, tumbling down.

He released a primitive grunt which mingled with a sultry sound that escaped from her own lips. The two of them frozen in that moment before finally, he fell on top of her. Tiredly, she reached out to hold him, the warmth of their bodies melting them into one. Waiting until he regained some strength, he pushed himself up and pressed a quick kiss to her lips before he flopped over beside her. The two of them lay side by side, breathless and panting for air. Even the rhythm of their expulsion of air had synchronized.

"Li?" Misaki eventually said, the first of the two to speak.

"Shh… Sleep."

Tilting back her head, she wanted to look upon his beloved face, but she wasn't given the chance. Instead, she found herself drawn to his side as he cushioned her neck with his arm and pulled her towards him. She rested against his chest and nodded with a contented sigh. She sensed that he smiled. She closed her eyes, hoping to do as he instructed. The last thing she noticed was that he purposely entangled their legs, which caused her to smile before falling fast asleep.

A/N: I seriously hate writing for this rating... I have a terrible time when it comes to drawing boundaries on what is/would be considered too much... So uh, hopefully I didn't cross that line XD

I thought about taming it down, but then I either get no story (just a beginning) or what would feel rather incomplete. Anyways, I think this is what everyone was waiting for (for those who read this rating)... Lol~
