Chapter 2: Strength
-x-
Kaname's shaking fingers flitted over files in the drawer, looking for "1984-1986." So far, she could only see Cyrillic characters and definitely no numbers. She was having a hard time concentrating, the images of Sousuke rescuing her from Anton flashing in her mind.
The adrenaline coursing through her veins tasted like metal in her mouth. She glanced over at Sousuke, feeling her face get hot. He was so handsome. She loved how intense his gray eyes darted around the room, both looking for the file and assessing any potential danger. God, he still had blood on his hands and the only thing Kaname wanted was for him to come over to her, bend her over the desk, and fuck her into oblivion.
Kaname pressed her thighs together, relishing the sharp arousal. She felt as though something was wrong with her. Only perverts, sick people, got turned on after seeing someone die, right?
Kaname bit her lip and tried to focus on the task at hand. However, she couldn't shake the memory of the fear, the pain of the cigarette burn, and how all of that had evaporated when the man who hurt her was lying on the ground and Sousuke was setting her free with a bloody hunting knife. It was as though her emotions were all whirling around inside of her, confused, before finally settling on the feeling of wanting Sousuke's hands, the hands that protected her time and again, all over her body.
Kaname moved to the other side of the desk and tried to open the file drawer there. It was locked. She sighed in frustration.
"Everything okay?" Sousuke asked. "How is your arm?"
Kaname looked up and smiled at Sousuke. She had almost completely forgotten about the burn. It felt sweetly itchy on her forearm. "My arm is fine," she said. "This stupid drawer is locked."
Sousuke checked the door for any incoming enemies, then walked to her side. He pulled out the hunting knife and, not bothering to finesse anything, he shoved it into the top opening of the drawer and wrenched it open.
This show of strength sent electricity to straight between her legs. Sousuke must have heard the change in her breathing because his gaze turned from inspecting the drawer's files to her.
Kaname licked her slightly-parted lips, fully capturing Sousuke's attention. He inhaled deeply through his nose, his face suddenly slack with desire, no doubt mirroring Kaname's own.
"Sousuke," she breathed. She knew he wanted her as much as she wanted him.
His lips crashed into hers roughly. She felt her teeth cut into her lip before she opened her mouth to taste the iron in his own kiss.
Moments later, Kaname had to admit standing up, pounding against the wall, was a much better position than being bent over the desk.
