This chapter follows chapter 32 of the manga Faster Than a Kiss. I started in the middle of the chapter this time so if you want a little more background information on what is going on, the manga can be found at it is a pretty awesome website and the manga itself is amazing. Think you should read it? Think no more, READ IT! Oh, also, I own nothing except my imagination. Okay, that's all. Carry on. (my wayward son~)

I woke up with my head pounding in a strange room. I sat up in bed watching Sensei's overcoat slide down into my lap. I picked it up and laid it out on the bed beside me. I tried to stand but ended up falling back onto the bed as dizziness overcame me. I groaned and tried to remember what had happened before I fell asleep.

It all came flooding back, the mission! I had to get Sensei to kiss me again. Ever since the night at the hotel Sensei had been very careful not to kiss me, he had been very careful with even touching me, like I might fly away at any time. I ground my teeth against my pounding head, the fruit juice, it must have been wine. A gentle swish of the curtains distracted me from my thoughts and I tried to stand again. When I was successful, I carefully made my way to the balcony.

A beautiful view of the night sky waited beyond the curtains, I gasped softly as I took in the stars glinting off the ocean. The moon was full, shining a pale light on the world. Such a pretty night view… I thought stepping out onto the balcony.

"Morning," I tore my view from the sky and found Sensei in a chair on the balcony slowly sipping on a beverage. My heart thumped at the sight of him and my face flushed.

"Denton-san helped us book a room in the guesthouse," he continued and then looked up at me, his gaze steady, "Did the wine taste good?"

"What?" I replied, putting on a disgusted face, "Geez, I never want to drink that stuff ever again."

I went for my last resort, grabbing his face and trying to force him to kiss me.

"Hey, hold on," Sensei said, struggling against my grip.

"Don't move any further from here!" I said feeling hopeless, "I apologize for drinking wine, even though I don't remember what happened after I drank it, but it was Sensei's fault! Just let me have a kiss!"

"Hold on a sec, Fumino," Sensei broke in, still struggling against me. He froze when a tear fell on his face.

I was already angry enough but when that tear fell, I lost it. I stopped pulling against him as a mix of feelings fought inside me. I was so angry at him, we were husband and wife but he refused to touch me, was I not good enough after all?

"Sensei, you are so cunning!" I said my voice growing louder, "I thought you said you would wait for me. But why, when I advance on you by myself, do you avoid me? You don't even think about kissing me, you just want to make sure I don't get scared!"

"Argh! That's enough!" Sensei exploded, shocking me into silence, "I really do want to kiss you!"

"What?" I squeaked, feeling swallowed by his gentle gaze.

"Obviously," he muttered, his cheeks turning pink, "I am your husband after all. But, I am still your sensei so, for now…"

I cut him off, still a little angry, "Hasn't it always been like this? Why-?"

Sensei pushed me onto the carpet, cutting off my words, "If I do kiss you now, I'd be unable to control myself, steal everything of yours away and not allow you to be anyone else's."

I was shocked by his words for a moment but, I put a hand on his cheek and pulled his gaze to mine, "I don't want to be anyone else's. I am yours, Sensei, and you are mine."

He shook his head angrily, "You don't understand-"

"Yes, I do," I continued, "I know what you mean and we can wait for that until after I've graduated. You don't have to take on all of this on your own, let me share the burden. If you start getting out of control, I'll tell you."

He watched me closely and then suddenly grabbed a piece of chocolate off the table. He took the wrapping off of the chocolate and broke it in half with his teeth, leaning over me.

"Then, let me teach you those things that you were trying to make Shouma do."

My heat thudded noisily and I was too distracted by his wild appearance and intense gaze to wonder what he was talking about. He took the half that was in his teeth and pulled it into his mouth I looked over at the other half, expecting him to give it to me and instead felt his lips on mine. His lips gently urged mine to part and I did so willingly. The melted chocolate was pushed into my mouth, his tongue touching mine lightly. I felt like I might melt and then it was over, Sensei pulled away, his breath uneven and heavy.

"Compared to one year ago," Sensei said, cupping my face with his hands, "It's getting harder and harder for me to control myself. I wanted to wait until you graduated, but if you deliberately go to touch me I might…"

I wound my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him. I felt his face grow warmer against my arms as a blush flooded his pale features.

"You… did you hear what I just said?" He asked, his tone having an edge of panic to it.

"I heard it!" I said flipping him onto his back and straddling his hips between my knees, "Did you hear what I said? I'll help, so don't worry about losing control or whatever! So… Don't move an inch."

I brushed my lips over eyelids, wanting to give him the feeling I usually get from his touch, the feeling of bliss. I then moved to the nape of his neck leaving a trail of kisses up to the soft spot behind his ear. He shivered against my touch and his face flushed a darker red. I slowly unbuttoned his shirt as I nibbled on his ear.

"E-Enough, stop that," Sensei mumbled.

I ignored him and brushed my lips down the strong line of his jaw, pausing just centimeters from his lips, and let him have the killing blow, "Kazuma…"

With a groan of defeat he crushed his lips against mine. He locked my lower lip between his and slowly traced it with his tongue. I shivered and pushed my hands down his chest that was heaving with every breath, down to his stomach. I rested my hands on his hip bones and focused on a tip Meg-chan had given me. I caught his lip in my teeth and gently tugged on it. A shocked sound escaped his lips and his hands came around my waist to pull all of me against him.

My hands were still on his hips, trapped between us. I followed the "v" of his muscles, dipping my fingertips into the waistband of his pants when I was interrupted by a voice husky with desire.

"Where do you think you are touching?"

The doorbell rang, startlingly loud in the silence of the room. I yelped and pulled away from Sensei, bumping into one of the chairs. Shouma and Meg walked in, Shouma obviously worried by the disheveled state of Sensei and Meg looking very curious. I could tell I would have to give her the details later, but for now I walked onto the balcony and hung my head in my hands, my face bright red. That was so embarrassing! There I was telling Sensei I would help him keep control and then I… To think that I would actually do such a thing!

Sensei tapped my shoulder and gave me a smile, "Thank you," he said softly and then pulled me in for a slow, gentle kiss, "Next year, you'd better be mentally prepared."

He had a mischievous gleam in his eyes that made my heart race. Everyone was making a ruckus in the other room, but I only had eyes for Sensei. Once we had fixed his shirt and tie, he took my hand and led me to a couch in the room so that everyone could wish us a happy anniversary.

Hope you enjoyed it! I tried to stay with the story line as closely as possible (minus the kissing, of course) but if you have any complaints, please let me know! Any constructive criticism, lay it on me! Any requested chapters, let me know and I will do my best!

Again, the characters, the plot, and most of the lines belong only to the mangaka. I own nothing! And seriously, if you haven't read the manga, check it out!
