I was not going to accept what that woman said, no… I was not in love with the strawberry… I will admit that I was more than a little fascinated by him and that he took up all my thoughts from the time I woke up till I would fitfully fall asleep. Between the two though I only found myself thinking about him occasionally, not all the time. The way he sounded as I allowed my hands free access over his flushed body, the little whimper sounds he made as my mouth teased his skin… ugh, I need to stop my train of thoughts before I drove myself mad.

To prove that I was indeed not in love with him, I opened a gargantua and went through to the world of the living once more. The first person I spot would be the one that I would love… fate was a bitch! The first person I spotted was in deed Ichigo. My eyes were playing cruel tricks on me… why the hell had I done this?

"Grimmjow!" his voice was husky and doing things to me that I wished he would not do at this time. His eyes seemed to devour my presence, it had only been a day since he had brutally told me to leave, choosing that damn dog over me, so why did his very being scream out to me to claim him. He even had the scent of arousal, groaning inwardly, I cautiously approached him.

We were standing mere centimeters away from one another when my toughness melted away and I gave in to what his body was screaming for. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer to me and leaned down to claim his inviting mouth. In the back of my mind a thought irritated me, had I come here so that I could do what I was now doing? Was I indeed so enamored by him that I couldn't stay upset with him, I should make him apologize to me before I let him have what he wanted so badly that I could smell it.

As our mouths devoured one another's, I let my hands travel over his lean body, reclaiming all the slight curves, memorizing how he felt pressed up to me, how our bodies seemed to fit perfectly.

His arms went up around my neck and he lifted himself up higher so that we were on the same level and I didn't have to bend my neck, his legs went around my waist and I couldn't help the groan from escaping my throat as I felt his hardness press up against mine. Damn it, this was not suppose to be happening. I was suppose to be proving that I am not in love with him. Not that I can have him… I tried to release him, he would have none of that. He was like a leech, clinging to me.

I was able to break our mouths apart, only to have Ichigo trail light kisses on my throat. "Ichigo…" I was unsure of what I wanted to say, "I… I have to tell you that I…" God his mouth felt so good on my skin.

All my thoughts got fuzzy, as if I no longer had a will of my own, his mouth was doing things that should be illegal, God, had I warped him this much? Was he this assertive before? Groaning, I gave in to the temptation, and abandoned my resolve to tell him that he was only a conquest to me. As my hands pulled him even closer, my mouth trailed kisses on his neck, feeling the rapid pulse under my lips, I was encouraged to have my tongue trace from his ear down to the hollow part of his slender throat. He tasted like a breath of fresh air, a little musky and ever so soft his skin was. Gently my teeth nibbled on his throat, while a moan escaped from his parted lips.

His hands slid effortlessly into my open shirt and up to my nipples to tease them. Had he been this assertive just days ago? I wondered what had happened, was this truly my strawberry or had someone replaced him?

He was more than a little aggressive, he was down right nearly forcing me, had I not come here to get over him? Was this some cruel twist of fate saying that Ichigo would be a part of my life for ever no matter what I did to try to get rid of him in my thoughts?

Deciding that it was all an illusion, I grinned and then got just as aggressive with him. Pinning him down on the cold hard ground, I nearly ripped his clothes off him before I claimed him. The sounds that he made were music to my ears, he moaned so much that I had to steel myself from shooting my load prematurely. He purred like a kitten as I thrust in and out of him, sending it home that he was mine and no one else's.

With his eyes full of lust, he gazed up at me and made me groan, that's when I fully realized that he was ingrained in me. That I was lost to those eyes, all he had to do was tell me to jump and I would ask how high? I had lost myself to him, in the process of claiming him, he had claimed me… how the hell had that happened?

With one final thrust, I allowed the climax to send me over the edge of sanity, to the point that had me lean in close to him and whisper in his ear, those little words I thought I would never utter, those words that had me more scared than ever by how he would react to them… "I love you Ichigo…"

I pulled him closer to me and basked in the after glow of one of the most intense orgasms I had ever felt, he hadn't even heard my utterance, which had me a little sad, and a little relieved.

"I love you too, you big idiot." he sighed as my arms snaked around his waist.

Hold it… he had heard me. I didn't move, my eyes locked with his and I tried to understand what he had just told me, he loved me too, that was what he had said… Did that mean what I hoped it meant? "You heard me earlier…" was all I could say.

He nodded his head, with his hand he reached up and cupped my chin, gently pulling me closer to him, "Yes I heard what you said." he gently kissed my lips, "I have been waiting for you to say it, even though I have known for some time…"

"Known what?" I arched my eyebrow, not sure if I liked how confidant he sounded.

"How I have felt about you."

"Oh…"

"What did you think I meant?"

"I don't know…" I did know, I had thought he was saying that he had known how I had felt about him long before I had even known how I felt.

"Well…" his voice was slightly unsure now…

A deep sense of guilt took hold of me, I had made him unsure… what the hell do I do now? Doing what comes naturally to me, I kissed him, long and hard. I was not a Espada that knew how to deal with emotions other than being physical, so that is how I handled him. Take one step at a time, right now, all I wanted was to have him understand this about me… he need not know that I didn't know what the hell to do with him other than have him under me with his legs spread… Eventually he would realize this about me and then he would know what to expect from me.

When our mouths parted, he was panting, and his eyelashes fluttered over his cheeks causing me to smile at how pretty he looked. His lips were swollen from the kiss, and a slight blush was raising to his cheeks due to the fact that I could feel him responding to my touch with as much if not more desire than imaginable. The evidence was starting to poke me in the thigh…

With the future unsure, I allowed Ichigo to get his wish and pleasured him till he was panting and moaning for more.

A/N: That's it for Cat's and Dogs… my next installment will be the multi chapter fic that has all the perks of Grimmjow having to cope with a relationship that he can't help but misunderstand… he is a Espada after all. I was wanting to post it soon, however I will make no promises, I do want it to be beta'd…
