Enjoy!

She didn't know why they did, but whenever Mori and she went out, they found themselves holding hands and acting like a couple. Odd, because they weren't intimate, as she and Kyouya were. It seemed to Haruhi, that her "relationship" with Mori was everything she wanted to be with Kyouya. She just never understood why he couldn't (wouldn't?) be with her outside of the bedroom. She wasn't sure why she kept coming back to it, but he was really amazing with the lights off. Maybe she was turning into a sex addict? Was that Kyouya's affect on her?

After voicing this concern to Mori, he chuckled. "Really, Haruhi? Sex addict? Highly unlikely. You simply cannot go without him. Have you talked to him?"

At this Haruhi turned her face to the ground in shame. "I try, Mori, I really do," she mumbled. "But then he, you know, he," she sighed and looked up at the taller boy, waving her hands around in a vague gesture. "And I…I'm just weak…I give in." She turned her face away from him again and almost began to cry.

"Now, now, my dear," Mori whispered warmly, grasping her chin with his fingers and forcing her to look at him. "You are far from weak. It's not just any girl who can handle being with Kyouya. You are very strong, even if you don't believe that." His eyes shown with love as he gazed down into her own. She blushed.

Without thinking, Mori leaned down and pressed his lips to Haruhi's softly. She was shocked, but, perhaps deep inside, she always wanted this gentle giant to show her how much he loved her. Her head tilted to the side as her eyes closed and she received his lips openly, smooth skin on smooth skin.

When he pulled away he was smiling his breathtaking smile, the one reserved especially for her. He dropped his hand and she blushed, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. He grasped her hand in his. "Haruhi." She looked up at him. "Does he love you like that?"

Her expression clouded. She wasn't sure how to answer his question. She felt flustered, her eyes burning from the sun above. Sure, Haruhi knew Kyouya loved her, but to the extent? "We passed that point a long time ago," she answered truthfully.

His eyes shone in understanding. "And now all he wants from you is rough, mind-blowing sex." Haruhi's eyes opened in shock, although she nodded. "Do you still want that?"

She was sure she was unsure, and that was about it. "The sex is mind-blowing," she said quietly. Mori laughed outright, a loud booming sound that echoed all around the park where they were seated.

"Yes, I'd imagine sex with Kyouya would be so." He sounded sad.

"Mori, you couldn't, by any chance, harbor any, ahem, risqué feelings for me, right?" Haruhi, at that very moment in time, wasn't particularly sure as to whether or not she would reject Mori's feelings if he told her at that moment.

"Haruhi, my little dove, any feelings I, how did you put it, harbor for you are strictly modest and appropriate. However, if Kyouya had any intention of leaving you, I'd be the first one to rush to you, making sure you were ok."

She thought about what he said. "Can I speak my mind?"

Mori looked taken aback. "I have always implored you to speak freely around me."

She paused, considering his answer, then mumbled. "I've always wondered what sex with you would be like."

Mori's smile faded as his face saddened. "Haruhi, I'd hope you would already know that answer, or was the kiss from before not enough of a clue?" Haruhi's hand flew to her lips as she remembered the rush of heat from his lips on hers. She contemplated what it would feel like to be beneath his great body, moving in perfect harmony with him, as he made sweet love to her body.

"Perfect," she whispered behind her fingers, looking off to the side of the man sitting before her.

"Gentle," he whispered into her ear, pulling her into a hug. Just as cheek met cloth her eyes opened up, and tears of sorrow and wonder poured from her soul, darkening his shirt where they fell.

I know, it was short, but there WILL be more! I couldn't leave you hanging here for too, too long...I'm not that evil....or am I...? InnocentSorrow3795 might be able to answer that question...
