AN: Yeah, I know it took me ages to finish this. I just wanted to put everything I needed to happen in there without having to split the chapter itself. I think it's long enough to make up for the delay.

AN2: I finally heard from my beta! ... Er, I mean, Thank you to my beta, OolongSingy! Woohoo! brings out the party hats, throws confetti, rolls in the beer barrel... And to think it only took you half a month ... ok, a week ... oh fine! Days! ... Wait! Don't kill me! makes PEACE sign... again ... XD

AN3: Thank you everyone for reading this, and the previous chapters (again, no doubt, to jog your memory, I know coz I do it, too). And why do I only get to thank you on the 3rd Author's Notes? ... I can't come up with any explanation ... so forget I asked. But THANK YOU! Double Thank You to those who alerted this story. Triple Thank You to those who left a review. And my love and gratitude to those who added this to faves. Or is it the other way around? Hmmm ... let me consider that for a while.

Disclaimer: … Oh, alright! They're not mine. Happy now?

Warning: Ah! Finally, the chapter I had promised. Don't know if it lives up to expectations, or if it's graphic enough (I did have to consider the ages of some of the readers, considered it, mind you, not that I actually would have changed anything regardless) but here it is.

Warning: Contains scenes of mature content. (What am I saying? I wrote this while running a fever. Still recovering from it. Excuse the bad grammar)

Warning: Shoujo Ai. Blah-blah. Under 18 … bad! Bad children! I'm telling your mommies!


Chapter Three : The Night is Young

Shizuru was having the time of her life. From the minute she had gotten inside the black Ferrari until she was escorted out, she had wasted no time before kissing, teasing and groping its cobalt haired driver, to the other's exasperation.

"You do realize the number of times we could have gotten ourselves killed while your hands were busy touching things they shouldn't have been touching while I was driving?" Natsuki frowned at her, holding her by the shoulders.

"But Natsuki is just so irresistible." She drew her face closer, tilting it slightly, unrepentant.

"You're incorrigible." The other sighed as she captured her lips. Her response was immediate. They kissed passionately, not hearing the elevator chime, and nearly fell inside as Shizuru had been propped against it for balance.

Fortunately, Natsuki's quick reflexes managed to keep them from tumbling towards the floor, legs braced as she supported both their weight. She succeeded in keeping them on their feet, arms firm behind Shizuru keeping her bent almost half backwards.

"Ara. I didn't realize Natsuki was so eager." Shizuru smiled as she felt the other's thigh between her legs, riding up her skirt. The pressure created a pleasant sensation that she was beginning to hunger for.

"I haven't even started yet." Natsuki flashed her a wolfish smile as she slowly raised her back up, keeping her leg where it was. They managed to enter the elevator in such position.

"You haven't? So what's keeping you?" Shizuru pressed the button for the top floor. She noticed Natsuki looking at the lit number with a strange expression. "Is something the matter?"

"Ummm, no. It's nothing." The other smiled at her.

"Hmmm, you had that same expression when I told you where I lived." She thought a moment, and then a horrible thought struck her. "You haven't been here before have you?" A flare of jealousy gripped her.

"W-what? What makes you think that?" Natsuki had a worried look on her face.

"With another woman?" She dreaded to hear the answer.

"No! Never." The other quickly tried to reassure her. Too quickly for her liking.

"Are you sure?" She peered into emerald orbs, searching for the answer within the deep pools. "You seem to be quite familiar with this place."

"Well … It's … I mean … Who wouldn't be? This building is becoming famous for having the best condo units available. It's strategically located. And with both the Fujino and Suzushiro corporations behind it, you're guaranteed a high standard of quality and safety. You could get a unit with a loft, the rooms are spacious, they have the best in terms of security, ample parking space…" Her voice trailed off and, noticing her raised eyebrow, she gave her a sheepish look.

"Ara. You're certainly quite knowledgeable about it. You're not trying to sell me a unit, are you?" She couldn't hold back a laugh.

"Ermm… Maybe I've spent too much time with that stupid Nao…"

"Ah, yes. She has sold quite a number of these apartments." She smiled.

"Hmmmph." Natsuki turned her attention towards her, more particularly her neck.

"If you're interested though, I think I can manage to get you a discount. As well provide some other… benefits." She felt her breath catch as kisses started trailing over her neck.

"Mmmmm? What kind of benefits?" Natsuki murmured as she nibbled her ear.

The elevator chimed before opening, making them pause in their activities so they slowly stepped out still in each other's arms. Suddenly remembering where they were, Shizuru quietly led the way to her door, keeping her footsteps light and muffled by the carpet. She pointedly kept her eyes away from one particular door they passed by.

As they reached her door, she realized Natsuki, too, had been rather quiet on their short trek. She half-turned to look at her while opening her door and saw her attention was fixed along the hallway. Oh Kami, I hope she doesn't know…

She hastily opened the door and pulled the other woman inside, then closed and locked it discreetly before the other could protest. Turning on a few of the lights, she noticed Natsuki looked a bit surprised at her actions as she had raised an eyebrow at her. In response, she pulled the other into a kiss, maneuvering until Natsuki's back was to the door and she was leaning on her.

The kiss lasted several minutes as Shizuru lost herself in the soft texture of the other's lips, the pliability of the other tongue, the taste of her mouth and the press of their bodies. When she heard the other moan, she considered her options on how to invite Natsuki to her bed. Should I ask her? Lead her by the hand? Continue kissing as we make our way upstairs?

As they broke apart for some needed air, they stared into each other's eyes, arms wrapped around each other. She could see the desire in those blazing emerald orbs. This is it. I'll just ask her… She opened her mouth to speak but the other spoke first.

"I should get going."

"Eh? I mean, I'm sorry. What did you just say?" Shizuru couldn't believe what she heard.

"I should leave. It's getting late and …"

"Why? I thought … Is there … Did I do something wrong?"

"No! No, it's nothing like that! It's just that … I got the impression that this isn't the kind of thing you normally do, so I …" Natsuki's voice trailed off.

"You're right. This isn't something I normally do. But what of it?" She started to worry.

"Well, you're drunk so … I don't want you to make a decision you'll regret later."

"Natsuki is being very honorable I see, but I assure you that I am quite sober." She told her quite firmly.

"Really? Since when?" Natsuki eyed her skeptically.

"Ara. Since you nearly killed us with your reckless driving." She pointed out.

"My reckless …? Oi! Whose hand kept trying to get between my legs while I was driving?"

Shizuru lifted up the offending hand and stared at it for a while before replying. "Ara... Mine?" She smiled as she put on an innocent expression.

Natsuki chuckled as she took the raised hand and kissed the inside of her palm, sending shivers down her spine. "Yes, yours, unless there was a horny octopus in the car with us. It sure felt like there were eight hands trying to grab me."

"Ikezu. Natsuki just called me an octopus."

"I didn't mean it that way, baka."

"Natsuki is certainly full of compliments. I can see why she's so popular." She pouted.

Natsuki's kisses had moved up from her palm to her wrist and upwards. She paused and grinned at her. "And here I thought it was just my good looks."

"Ara. It isn't your modesty, that's for sure." She couldn't help but laugh.

Natsuki laughed for a while and then sighed. "I really should go."

Shizuru stared contemplatively into the green orbs for a while. Then remembering something, she smiled. "Alright."

"I'll call you." Natsuki finally released her hand.

"Of course. Good night, Natsuki." She was still smiling as she turned around and headed up the stairs.

"Good night, Shizuru."

She was almost halfway up the stairs when she heard the other woman call her.

"Oi, Shizuru?"

"Yes, Natsuki?" She was trying to suppress her laughter.

"The door …"

Shizuru turned around and looked down at the other woman. She raised an eyebrow in mock-incomprehension. "Does Natsuki need help finding it?"

"… is locked."

She placed one hand on her elbow while the other rose to tap her cheek. "Ara."

Natsuki gave a low chuckle. "So can I have the key?"

"Ara, but we hardly know each other. Does Natsuki plan to move in with me already?" She was smiling now.

The other laughed. "Fine. May I borrow your key then?"

"Oh. I see."

"See what?"

"Natsuki doesn't want to live with me." She sobbed.

"Oh, cut that out," the other said exasperated. "Well?"

"Well what?" Shizuru realized that playing an airhead was fun. Being with this woman was fun. She had never enjoyed someone's company so much.

"The key?"

"What key?"

"The one you are currently tapping against your face?"

Shizuru stopped her tapping to look at the item in her hand. "Oh, this key!" She put on a lightbulb-flashing expression and laughed when she saw Natsuki rolling her eyes. "Hmmmmm." She pretended to consider handing the key over, toying with it for a while, running it along her lips, her jaw, neck, chest, and stomach until she finally slid it inside the waist of her skirt. "Ara. It seems to have slipped."

"Yes, I noticed." The other drawled with a smile, having watched the key's path with avid interest.

"I think it may have fallen inside my underwear." She tried to sound like a complete halfwit but she was struggling to keep from laughing outright.

Natsuki shook her head solemnly. "Then I guess you leave me with no other choice but to remove your underwear if I am to ever get out of here." The other woman spoke with a regretful sigh but the smile on her face belied her words.

"Ara. Whatever will I do?" Shizuru asked in horror even though she couldn't hold back an evil smile.

"Your only option is surrender." Natsuki leered at her menacingly as she slowly headed towards her direction, removing her jacket along the way and dropping it carelessly on the floor.

"If that is the case then… I surrender! Natsuki may do as she pleases with me." Shizuru couldn't hold back a triumphant laugh.

"Why do I feel like the victim here?" The cobalt haired woman sniffed before reaching her.

"If Natsuki prefers, I could do as I please with her." She smiled impishly before putting her arms around the other woman.

"You already seem to be doing that. I don't know why but … ever since I laid eyes on you I … " Natsuki stared intently at her for a few seconds before reaching up to pull her head down so she could capture her lips.

As Shizuru began to savor the other's lips, her amusement was replaced by a searing hunger for more. She drew their bodies even closer, fingers caressing the skin exposed beneath the other's blouse.

Natsuki deftly tried to remove Shizuru's coat even as the kiss progressed. Her lips parted slightly as a tongue began to tease its way inside her mouth. Shizuru slipped her own tongue out to meet the other and lost herself in the sensations it aroused within her.

When Natsuki broke the kiss and removed her hands from her back Shizuru was breathless and felt her heart hammering within her chest. She opened her eyes and found a burning hunger mirroring her own in the emerald orbs gazing at her.

"Shizuru." Natsuki spoke in a low, soft whisper, full of need, reaching out to hold her hands.

She had never heard her name uttered in such a way. She almost shuddered at just the sound of it, coming from those lips she was beginning to grow addicted to. "Natsuki." She tried putting her arms around the other woman again but they were held back against her sides. Confused, she thought Natsuki was going to stop what they were doing and was about to struggle when the other woman began to slowly slip her coat off her. She smiled brightly.

Natsuki noticed her expression and chuckled. "You win. I can't seem to resist you for some reason."

The minute the coat dropped they were at each other, kissing with an intense passion that made all their previous efforts seem chaste in comparison. Hands roamed everywhere they could reach, and still unsatisfied, began digging beneath clothes to feel more skin.

Shizuru felt as if her entire consciousness consisted of all the sensations the other woman aroused within her. Her brain had stopped functioning and everything in the world was there within her arms, soft, warm, and infinitely delicious to all her senses. She was barely able to notice her legs giving way while Natsuki tried to ease her down.

Then Natsuki was on top of her, blue hair tickled her cheeks while their mouths were still glued to each other. She felt the hand on her back inch forward toward her stomach, and upwards. She gasped when it reached up to cup her breast.

Natsuki raised her head to look into her eyes, then the hand began moving, massaging her breast making her close her eyes as she moaned in pleasure. She felt kisses trail along her face, towards her neck and she arched her head to give Natsuki more room. When the kisses were replaced by a tongue she felt like she could explode from sheer pleasure.

She shuddered, feeling a searing heat between her legs. She had never wanted anything or anyone so badly before. She felt a twinge of guilt as a sudden memory of her fiancé flashed in her head but she quelled it with images of a blue haired, green eyed … womanizer, her mind whispered. Well, so is he. But he has never evoked so much as a single emotion out of me.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt the kisses stop near her chest. She opened her eyes and smiled as she saw Natsuki unbuttoning her blouse with her teeth.

"Ara. Doesn't Natsuki have hands for that?"

"They're comfortable right where they are." Natsuki then had one hand squeeze her breast while her other hand, which had been supporting her back, dove beneath her blouse to caress her bare skin. "Besides, this is much more fun." The other woman smiled as she continued to undo the next button.

Shizuru laughed softly until she felt the hand beneath her undoing the clasp of her bra. She watched until all the buttons had been undone and Natsuki looked down at her to appreciate her handiwork. She felt herself blush as green eyes traveled over her body, lingering on her chest.

"That's a nice one."

"What is?" she smiled, for once feeling grateful for having an ample bosom. It had been nothing more than an inconvenience for her before, always drawing unwanted attention or getting in the way, but this time she wanted Natsuki to like them.

"Your bra. Is it a collector's item? Must be one of those limited edition pieces. The fabric, the lace and the embroidery… Where did you get it?" Natsuki looked up at her and, seeming to take one look at her incredulous expression, bent down to shower her stomach with kisses.

"My bra?"

"Mmmmmm. You're so beautiful, Shizuru."

"My bra?"

"Er… Has anyone ever told you just how sexy you are?"

"My bra."

"Ummmm, you look really good in it?"

"Natsuki?"

"Yeah?"

"Bra?"

"Okay, okay. I just have this thing…" The other tried to bury her face in her midsection.

"And what 'thing' is that?"

"I, ummm, collect lingerie…" Natsuki said in a barely inaudible voice, half smothered beneath her.

Shizuru stared at the blushing forehead, feeling the heat on her stomach, and laughed. The other woman finally raised her head enough to glare at her.

"It's not funny! Stop laughing."

"I know. Kannin na. It's cute, though."

"C-cute? It's not cute!"

"Oh, of course not. I meant to say, sexy. My Natsuki is very sexy."

"Your Natsuki? Since when did I become yours? And anyway, it's not cute."

"Hai, hai." Lingerie, is it? How interesting. She hid her smile.

Natsuki stared at her for a while until, mollified, she continued her attention on her stomach. She began with feather-light kisses that made her catch her breath and forget everything else. When a tongue began tracing its way upwards she began to have trouble breathing. Then the hands came up to brush her blouse to her sides, revealing what lay beneath.

Shizuru watched as the hands dug beneath her bra and raised it up, freeing her breasts with a slight jiggle. She couldn't help but smile as she saw Natsuki's eyes widen at the sight before the emerald orbs began to darken with unhidden desire.

The other woman drew up to keep her head level with her breasts as her hands began to caress them from the sides, moving slowly around them, gently. She moaned as she felt her nipples hardening, yearning to be touched.

Eyes having had their fill, Natsuki bent down, burying her face along the valley between her breasts, kissing and licking along the way around first one breast, then the other. Teasing, hands and mouth made their sweet way all over them, but avoided the almost painfully erect nubs.

When Shizuru felt she couldn't take anymore she arched her back to raise her chest. Natsuki took this as her cue for her tongue trailed from the side towards one hard pink nipple. She moaned once she felt the playful tongue run along the tip of her breast.

Natsuki used her tongue to play with it. This sweet torture continued for while, only the very tip of her nipple grazed by the center of the tongue. Shizuru wondered if the woman was trying to drive her crazy. She moaned a complaint this time and was rewarded with a long flick before warmth enveloped her aching breast. She gasped as almost half her breast was sucked inside this warmth. Then the tongue began its work.

It circled the tip, licked it, flicked it, and circled some more, while the sucking continued endlessly. One hand was on her other breast, kneading it lightly. She felt the other hand along her back though she couldn't be sure as all her attention was centered on her breasts. That was, until she felt a hungry throbbing between her legs that seemed to resonate with every attention her upper body received, and made her hips buck involuntarily.

Soon, Natsuki raised her head to look at her swollen breast, seemingly satisfied, she latched onto the other with no preamble. As she gave this one a similar treatment, her hands began to move from her back to her sides. From her sides to her hips, the hands dipped lower to cup her buttocks.

Shizuru felt her hips raised slightly to press against the other woman as the hands circled the round flesh of her behind. Then Natsuki began to press one leg between hers, digging in until she opened her legs. She shuddered at the contact, feeling a jolt of intense pleasure run through her body, making her cry out. Having accomplished its mission, one hand went back up to pay its respects to her other unattended breast while the other began to dip dangerously lower between her legs.

Her mind felt overwhelmed by all the physical sensations her body was going through. Natsuki's mouth, hands and legs were all working together to drive her over the edge. She wasn't so sure what edge exactly she was being driven over, and what awaited her at the end of it. She just knew that she wanted to reach it, whatever the consequences. She couldn't have stopped herself, in any case.

She felt Natsuki's hand reach down below her skirt, fingers trailing along her inner thighs before arriving at the center. She moaned, or gasped, she wasn't sure which, perhaps both, as fingers ran along the wet cloth.

Natsuki stopped sucking for a moment and raised her head up to give her an inquiring look. "Same fabric. Matching bra and panties?" She grinned mischievously.

"Shut. Up." Shizuru growled at her, making them both laugh.

Natsuki raised herself off her and, straddling her on her knees, ran her hands up her thighs. Reaching the edge of her skirt, they continued their ascent bringing the material up with them.

Shizuru shivered, but it wasn't from the cold from having her legs exposed. It was more from expectation, her body acting on instinct, knowing what it wanted, and demanding release from the mental restraints she wasn't even aware she had placed upon it.

As the hands reached her hips, the fingers trailed along the top of her panties before sliding slowly beneath the material. She felt blood rushing to her head, pounding in her ears as the other woman began to pull down the item. She raised her hips slightly to make it easier, not caring if she appeared too eager.

Natsuki kneeled beneath her feet as her hands continued to slide her underwear down, until it was off of her. Then one hand trailed its way back up as she half-lay beside her, drawing level with her body. Shizuru wrapped her arms around the woman.

The hand reached past her legs and stroked her pubic hair before moving a little higher, picking something up just above the area.

"Found it." Natsuki smiled lazily at her, raising her hand to show the result of her hard work.

"Ikezu. Natsuki was only after the key all along."

"No, not all along." Gently placing the key between her breasts, Natsuki leaned forward to capture her lips. Shizuru pulled her down until she was partly on top of her. As she deepened the kiss, she felt Natsuki's warm body moving against her. A hand fondled her breast before trailing its way southwards.

As a long moan escaped her lips, she felt a need to do something to keep in control of the situation. Her hands began to run along the other's body, stopping only when a realization struck her.

"Ara. Ikezu! Natsuki still has all her clothes on." She promptly began to peel the other's blouse of its wearer.

"But this is your night. You don't have to do anything…" The other woman protested as Shizuru continued to strip her top off. "Alright." The sound was muffled as the blouse was now covering the other's face. She took this moment to admire what lay beneath.

Natsuki had to pull her blouse off herself as Shizuru had stopped midway to run her hands on the other's body. The other woman reached behind to unclasp her lacy black bra letting it fall in front of her as Shizuru watched, fascinated.

Just as she was about to pounce on the jiggling mounds, Shizuru felt her hands held in a firm grasp. She struggled, trying to free her hands as her mouth tried to reach the pink nipples. She only managed to get near enough to flick her tongue over one, feeling it harden at the merest touch as Natsuki held her back.

"Natsuki…" She moaned.

"Later. You'll get your chance. But for now, it's my turn." Natsuki chuckled. "Don't distract me."

"Is that a promise?"

"Maybe. We'll see."

"Ikezu."

Natsuki settled back down to her previous position, planting her lips atop hers to prevent further protests. Her hands were released and she felt an arm slide beneath her back to support her as the other traced invisible patterns along her arms, chest, stomach and side.

When the hand settled over one breast, it began to knead the soft flesh until Natsuki broke the kiss to look down.

"Where's the key?"

"Ara. It must have fallen off. Does my Natsuki need it so badly?"

Natsuki smiled. "No. Not at the moment." And began to trail kisses over her shoulder, to her neck, up her jaw. When she reached her lips, she was greeted by a probing tongue so she opened her mouth to let her in. Tongue met tongue and began to dance around each other.

Shizuru felt Natsuki's hand give her breast a squeeze before sliding downward. She was suddenly reminded of the yearning hunger between her legs. She broke the kiss to take several long breaths as Natsuki's hand slid over her skirt before diving down towards her center. A leg pushed its way between hers, separating them. Then fingers began exploring the area in between, stoking the fire which had begun burning deep inside her.

Shizuru closed her eyes as she savored all the unfamiliar sensations coursing through her body. Natsuki had begun sucking on her breasts, alternating her attention on each one, her tongue running along her erect nipples. Fingers probed between her legs, making her gasp and her hips jerk when they found a very sensitive area.

Noticing her reaction, the other woman began to concentrate her attention on that particular spot. Shizuru felt her self control slipping as Natsuki began to stroke her clit. And it didn't stop there. She felt the fingers press down on the nub, squeeze it, trace circles around it, and rub its surface again. There was no pattern to it. And it continued until she heard the echo of a scream. Opening her eyes, she was only dimly aware it had come from her.

"Natsuki?" She panted.

Emerald eyes bore into her as the hand dipped lower, tracing the folds between her legs. Shizuru gulped as she realized what the other's intentions were. She took a deep breath and spread her legs a little wider. They looked into each other's eyes as the fingers began to dig beneath the folds. She felt her wetness dripping down by the time the other woman found what she sought.

As fingers hovered near the entrance, Shizuru felt the other woman hesitate. She gazed into her emerald orbs and nodded once. Natsuki seemed to accept her decision as her fingers began to slowly enter her body.

She gasped and closed her eyes as she felt them penetrating her. A moan escaped her lips as she was filled by the other woman. She felt complete. As if she had been reunited with a part of her soul she hadn't been aware of being separated from.

She sighed contentedly before her lips were captured in a passionate kiss. Then the fingers stroked her inner walls while pulling out, only to ram back in. Her hips jerked even as she grunted in pleasure. Soon, the hand began thrusting in and out of her, slowly at first. But as her body welcomed the intrusion, it became hard, fast and violent.

As she couldn't stop her moans from escaping, Natsuki left her lips alone to make whatever sounds they pleased and directed her mouth to her breasts.

Shizuru felt her hips moving in rhythm to the other's hand. Each thrust brought a wave of exquisite sensations that began to build into a pressure deep within her. The hand continued its assault on her senses, digging deep inside her, the heel of the palm smacking against her clitoris. The pressure intensified, becoming almost painful.

She felt like her body was trying to reach something, a release from the force being kept inside her. She didn't think she could hold it in much longer. She let it sweep over her, the feeling gradually simmering up to reach the boiling point.

Then it happened. She screamed. She thrust her hips up into the air, with Natsuki's fingers still inside her. Her neck arched backwards as she squeezed her eyes shut. Her hands grasped the other's shoulders tightly.

The pressure had reached its peak and exploded, sending wave after wave of pleasure all over her body. It was indescribable. She couldn't have put down the words to convey the sensations she was experiencing. She wanted it to last forever.

But it faded all too soon. She felt the last of her strength give out as her body relaxed back down. Exhaustion began to creep over her as lips came to claim hers. She could barely open her eyes and smile at the other woman.

"Hey." Natsuki smiled back at her.

"Mmmmmm."

She felt the fingers slip out of her but was too tired to complain. She wanted to keep them there so she tightened her muscles around them in protest. The other woman laughed.

"I see you still have some energy left. Think you can manage to get up? I doubt you'll find it comfortable sleeping here. Come on. I'll help you into your room."

Once Shizuru was back on her feet, with the other's help, she looked down at the few articles of clothing gathered around them. "It's because Natsuki was too impatient."

"You're the one who decided to lie down on the stairs."

"So my Natsuki is saying it was all my fault? Ikezu."

"It's the truth. And stop calling me 'your Natsuki'. Now come on and I'll tuck you in." Natsuki began to lead the way up the rest of the stairs.

Shizuru stood right where she was. "But Natsuki is my Natsuki. And 'tuck me in'? Ara. Has my Natsuki forgotten her promise already?"

"What promise?" Natsuki stopped to look back down at her.

Shizuru started to climb the steps. Upon reaching the other woman, she looped her arm around hers and dragged her up until they reached her room. She opened the door and, with Natsuki still in tow, headed for the bed.

"Natsuki promised me my turn." She stated firmly and pushed the other woman onto the bed.

"W-what? You can't be serious. Aren't you tired? Besides, it's late. I should get going."

"I said, Natsuki promised me my turn. And I am not that tired. The night is still young. Don't even think about leaving until I had my way with you." She then gave the other a sweet, yet implacable smile.

"I didn't promise anything! I said 'maybe', besides you need your rest."

The other continued to protest as she started to get up but Shizuru pushed her back down. And sat on her, smiling. "I can rest as soon as I had my Natsuki."

Natsuki knew she was defeated. "This is going to be a long night."

AN: I did warn you that I finished this chapter while running a high temperature. At least I can claim that all the bad parts were induced by my fevered brain.

I actually wanted to end this chapter after Natsuki said "Good night, Shizuru." but I feared for my life and it seemed too short to end it there. Oh well... hope you were satisfied.

Another thing is that I don't know how to make the ahem love scenes seem longer. I had a conversation with someone about it and ... well ... we both agreed that putting in something like "thrust her fingers in and out 2,000 times" seemed a wee bit ... tacky ... let's not even get into the probability of the number. XD

Reviewers will get ... well, the usual treats ... just worded in another way ... as soon as I can come up with it ...
