It's almost the end of the week, just a week late ha ha! Sorry about that!
Thanks to everyone who humored me and guessed my native language! You'll find the correct answer in the story. Oh, and the expression for it literally translates to "love you (female)". The actual expressions are gender-specific and the female to female modified one sounds really awkward, so I didn't use it.
If you read FLT, see if you can spot what I borrowed from that story! Enjoy!
A knocked over lamp. Fallen picture frames with snapshots of Shizuru and Natsuki over the years. All were hapless casualties in the girls' whirlwind trip from the kitchen to the bedroom. Natsuki kicked open the door while engulfed in a frenzied kiss with her girlfriend. She gently pushed Shizuru onto the bed and broke the kiss, gazing into ruby eyes.
She thought she was the luckiest girl in the world to snag a catch like Shizuru. And to think, there was a period of time she foolishly questioned whether she saw Shizuru as more than a friend. Natsuki referred to those dark days as the most inane moments of her life. Luckily, it didn't last long because she realized what an idiot she had been for doubting her feelings. Afterwards, she confessed everything to a tearful but deliriously overjoyed Shizuru.
Shizuru fell hard for the blue-haired beauty shortly after they met in middle school. Something about her pulled the girl in, as though Natsuki was a magnet's north pole that attracted her south counterpart. Shizuru buried her feelings for quite a while because Natsuki was reluctant to open herself to anyone. But she persevered and gradually chipped away at Natsuki's fortified defenses. Truth be told, her efforts paid off because Natsuki warmed up to her more than anyone else in school. Their friendship came to a standstill when she revealed her not-so-platonic fondness for the girl. She was prepared for Natsuki's freak out and gave her all the time and space she needed to sort out her feelings. The day Natsuki requited her love was one of the happiest days of her life.
"I'm crazy in love with you," she professed in hushed tones, eyes reflecting the infinite amount of affection she had for Shizuru.
The words sent jolts of pleasure straight to Shizuru's core. She bit her bottom lip in an attempt to stifle a moan, but the view of Natsuki with hair draped over one side of her face, coupled with the efflux of emotions pouring from those jade pools, got the best of her. She moaned loudly, "God, I love you so much!"
Natsuki effortlessly freed Shizuru's luscious mounds from their oppressive restraint and tossed the garment to who knows where. Lips captured a hardened tip while hands kneaded silken swells. Shizuru inhaled sharply and fumbled for the hook of Natsuki's bra. Natsuki shrugged it off when it came undone. She left a trail of blazing kisses down Shizuru's stomach until she reached the last remaining barrier between her and Shizuru. She hooked her fingers underneath the panties' lacy fabric and slid them down the girl's sinuous legs.
"You are an angel. Humans just don't look this amazing," she explained in awe of Shizuru's voluptuous, naked form.
Shizuru pulled her down and claimed her mouth with urgent need, tongue furiously dancing with Natsuki's. In one swift move, she rolled them over while Natsuki was distracted. Shots of adrenaline surged through Natsuki's body as Shizuru shimmied to her nether regions. Shizuru wasted no time in divesting the final piece of lingerie covering Natsuki's modesty.
"No… you… you're the exception. Natsuki's beauty rivals that of God's attendants," she said, peering down at her fully stripped lover.
Natsuki propped herself up and then moved into an upright position with Shizuru straddling her lap. Her left arm looped around Shizuru's waist to hold her in place while the right roamed freely over satin skin. Two digits tiptoed from the hollow cleft between aroused peaks and descended into forbidden territory, forbidden to everyone, save for her. They ventured past a patch of neatly trimmed tawny hair and brushed against the pink nub. Shizuru instantly jerked forward and buried her hands in tufts of blue, gasping at her touch.
Natsuki feasted on the pert mounds as she easily slid into Shizuru.
"Ohhhh!" They cried out together. Natsuki took her sweet time moving in and out, developing a slow and steady rhythm, much to Shizuru's displeasure. Shizuru grinded her hips against Natsuki's fingers and clawed through her scalp. The girl desperately wanted the pace to pick up. She was all for tender loving, but there was a time for everything, and now just wasn't it. She ached for a quick release.
"Fa- faster, please!"
"I won, remember?" Natsuki smiled into her kisses on Shizuru's chest.
Shizuru felt the curling lips and begged, "Pleasseeeeee! I'll m–make your favorite dish tomorrow!" She was teetering close to the edge.
"You got yourself a deal!" Natsuki upped the tempo and sucked on a hardened bud. She curled her fingers, causing Shizuru to grip her hair tightly. She winced at the stinging pain.
"Ahhh, s- s- so closssee!" she panted through hooded eyes.
Natsuki pressed down on the bundle of nerves atop Shizuru's entrance and strengthened her hold on the girl in preparation for what was to come. Shizuru squirmed from the pleasurable torture. Fingers stilled their motion as Shizuru's walls enclosed on them. A torrent of hot liquid rushed out from the writhing girl, who screamed Natsuki's name with abandon. Natsuki removed her fingers and held the thrashing girl tightly in her arms. Shizuru slumped against her when the throes of ecstasy subsided. Natsuki gently laid her down on the bed and propped herself next to her lover.
"I don't think anyone can scream my name with so much lust and love intertwined."
Shizuru narrowed her blood-red orbs at Natsuki. "No one better not! I'll kill them if they did!" she threatened hoarsely, vocal chords still spent from moments ago. Her threats didn't come lightly either. Murder may be going a little too far, but getting beaten to a bloody pulp and sustaining a few broken bones were guaranteed.
Natsuki felt her own arousal building up at the sight of her possessive lover. She hungrily kissed the girl's swollen lips. "The same goes for whoever is foolish enough to think they have a snowball's chance in hell with you," she said cheerfully, but her steely gaze revealed the truth.
"Ara, aren't we just the perfect image of a nice, well-adjusted couple?"
"I'm telling you! We're going to be like those two old people!" The girls guffawed until their stomach hurt.
"You know, there's a second part to the first game we played." Jade eyes twinkled with delight.
"Oh? I thought it ended since we're both naked." Shizuru grinned. "Well then, I'm all ears."
Natsuki got up and threw a robe on her. She chuckled when Shizuru pouted. "Don't worry! It's not staying on for long! Just wait here, you insatiable woman!"
She ventured into the kitchen and searched for the hidden item she had stashed away in the cupboards. "A-ha! There you are!" She placed the jar in the microwave and heated it for a minute. The fragrance of rich, creamy dark chocolate wafted through the air. Natsuki dipped a finger into the jar to test the temperature and found it wasn't too hot or cold. She picked up the supple brush that came with the chocolate and bounded to the bedroom, hiding the items behind her back.
Shizuru perked up when the scent of chocolate floated into the room. "Is that cho—"
"Why yes, it is chocolate… chocolate body paint!" She revealed the jar and brush.
"No… way! Give meeee!" Shizuru got on her knees and reached for the jar in Natsuki's hand. Natsuki made her promise not to indulge in it yet. "I'll do anything you say, just let me hold it, please!" Aside from Natsuki and tea, Shizuru's only other weakness was chocolate. Shizuru was over the moon when Natsuki bought her boxes of tea-flavored chocolate truffles a month ago. She cleaned out the boxes in four days.
"Stakes are higher for part two of the game. It's the same rules. I recite an expression to you, you name the language. Oh, I'll throw in the ones you just learned too. Get it right, you can draw whatever you want on me and taste your masterpiece, but get it wrong, I will be indulging in your sweet skin instead." She winked at a wide-eyed Shizuru.
"Natsuki! You are so going down! My memory is unparalleled!" she declared haughtily.
"Don't you mean you're going down then?" Natsuki's eyes bulged out, and she clamped a hand over her mouth. She didn't mean to say that out loud!
"Ara. Looks like my innocent Natsuki has matured into one dirty talking, sexy vixen," Shizuru breathed huskily, fiddling with the loose knot that kept the robe together. She slipped the robe off Natsuki's shoulder and reveled in the sight of her naked lover once again. "Much better."
Natsuki cleared her throat to get her bearings back, wishing she could do the same for the color of her cheeks, but the pink hue wouldn't budge. "Let's begin."
"Very well." Shizuru sat on the bed, patting the spot next to her. Natsuki immediately joined her.
"Vietnamese."
"Starting with one I got wrong, huh? This strategy won't work on me! Yêu Em." She unscrewed the lid and dipped the brush into the viscous confection. She motioned for Natsuki to lie on her back so she could draw a skinny downward arrow starting from Natsuki's chest and stopping a few inches below her navel.
"Really Shizuru?"
"Hey, I'm just reminding myself of what you told me to do," she quipped.
Natsuki rolled her eyes but was very turned on as Shizuru licked her way down. Her body temperature went up several degrees as Shizuru got further down south.
"All gone!" It looked like there was nothing there to begin with.
"Ya tebya lyublyu."
Shizuru sighed, "Woman, just give me hint."
"Vodka originated in this country." Natsuki smirked because she knew Shizuru didn't care for the liquor at all.
"You're evil, giving me such a horrible hint! I hate vodka!"
"Does that mean you give up?"
"Fine!"
"Yes!" Natsuki clapped. "It's Russian, by the way." It was Shizuru's turn to lie down. She drew huge smiley faces on Shizuru's breasts, adding an extra dollop on the tips posing as noses just for the hell of it.
"That's so cute!"
"Is it still cute when I…" Natsuki teased the peaks before capturing one at a time between her teeth, suckling on it with the hunger of a newborn baby. Her lover burrowed her head deeper into the pillow. She lapped up the remaining chocolaty eyes and wide grins.
"You are so good at that…" Shizuru sighed dreamily.
Natsuki kissed her on the forehead and whispered softly, "Te amo."
"I can't reason through any of this!" she pouted, puffing her lower lip out.
"This language isn't just confined to one country; it's the most spoken one in South America."
Now, Shizuru had something to work with. She had a map of the continent in her mind and realized that the region was also referred to as Latin America to denote the dominance of the languages derived from Latin. French was one, but it was already used. The only other Latin-derived one she could think of at the moment was Spanish.
"Is it Spanish?"
"Good job!" Natsuki applauded her.
Shizuru held the jar and sat in between Natsuki's legs. She lied on her stomach and drew a straight line on Natsuki's left inner thigh. She traced a circle at the end closest to the girl's knee. Two diagonals jutted out from the center of the line. Another pair of diagonals was drawn at end of the line. Natsuki propped on her elbows and bent her knees to examine the edible artwork.
She tilted her head to scrutinize it from a different angle. "Is that a tree?" she asked skeptically.
"Ha ha ha! No! It's your stick figure from the card!"
Natsuki burst out laughing. "Geez woman, I see your artistic skills are on par with mine! And how come that's me? It could be you!"
"Because," she quickly added long brush strokes to the head, "I don't have long hair, and there are no bangs, so that's you!"
"Ah, I see the masterpiece wasn't finished yet. My apologies to the talented artist. Now that's one gorgeous girl," she said cheekily, pointing to the image on her thigh.
"Meh. She's all right. I've seen better," Shizuru responded offhandedly.
"Is that so?" Natsuki quirked a brow.
"Uh huh. You should see the girl I'm stalking right now. She makes me weak at the knees with just one smile." Shizuru began indulging in her canvas with lazy strokes of the tongue.
"Mmmm… have I seen her?"
"Maybe. Deep blue hair. Shimmering green eyes. Really hot figure. Super sexy voice. Does she sound familiar?" she inquired innocently while worshipping Natsuki's inner thighs with her lips.
Natsuki's body was clamoring for the girl to shift just a tad closer to the center. "I know her very well! I could introduce you two if you just, you know…" she trailed off, cheeks flushed with color.
"Well! In that case…"
Shizuru dipped her head lower and brushed her tongue against the pink nub. Natsuki fell back onto the bed, clenching the sheets and panting. Lips wrapped around the sensitive bundle, eliciting a chorus of "Oh my god!" from the wriggling girl underneath her. The sandy-haired girl draped her arm across Natsuki's stomach to keep her from lifting off the bed. Shizuru's strokes became short and fast when Natsuki gasped that she was painfully close. Within seconds, Natsuki climaxed, belting out Shizuru's name at the top of her lungs and shuddering uncontrollably. Shizuru hungrily lapped up every drop of Natsuki's gushing sweet nectar, relishing in the unique taste of her lover until there was no more. She held the trembling girl, whispering every romantic declaration the girl taught her and ending with the one that started it all, "I love you."
"Ditto to everything you said," Natsuki exclaimed in a raspy voice and captured her lips in a searing kiss.
Shizuru slowly pulled away from the lip lock. Her crimson eyes glowed with joy and every line in her face, every muscle, relaxed. "Thank you for giving me an unforgettable Valentine's Day," she said softly. "Today was amazing, but every day with you is just some kind of wonderful. That's why I come back for more of the same every day."
The corners of Natsuki's lips curled up when Shizuru alluded to the card. "Honestly, I like doing these romantic gestures. I get what those chick flicks call 'warm and fuzzy feelings' when I think about how happy you're going to be and that makes me a gazillion times giddy."
"Ha ha! You just admitted to being a giant ball of fluff!"
"It's not that big! It's like basketball-sized," she grumbled. "And if you tell another soul, no more sexual favors for you!"
"Oh sweetie, you wouldn't last long without the touch of my magical hands!"
"I beg to differ. You lost when we played Too Hot."
"I call for a rematch, but this time, we play in the shower." Shizuru waggled her eyebrows, knowing full well Natsuki couldn't resist the sight of her naked and wet from head to toe.
Natsuki immediately dragged her laughing girlfriend to the bathroom and attempted a lofty goal of holding out for longer than thirty seconds. She crashed and burned by the fifteen second mark. If winning meant not touching Shizuru sooner, why the hell would she want to win?!
As day turned to night, the two were completely exhausted from their marathon lovemaking.
Shizuru was nestled in Natsuki's arms, moments away from entering the realm of dreams. "Next year, I'm going to top this day," she whispered, grinning.
Natsuki silently laughed. "We'll see!"
