Tainted Blossoms
Chapter Three
It all happened so fast.
They hated each other since their first encounter.
Now here they were, naked in bed together.
It must be the lust.
Mikan had never felt something like it before,
And the feeling was uncontrollable.
Did she like it?
No . . . she loved it.
Natsume was surprisingly a gentle lover,
Gentle but passionate.
And Mikan loved every second of it.
She felt the lean body stirred beside her.
She looked up and her gaze fixed with Natsume's drowsy crimson orbs.
"Good morning," She greeted in a soft voice as she let her fingers traced his jaw.
"Morning, beautiful," He replied tenderly as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer.
He pressed his lips against her forehead and then buried his face in the crook of her neck.
Mikan sighed at his sweet gesture.
"I have to go back to my room now. . ." She said while she fiddled with the hair on his nape.
"Later," He mumbled as he breathed in her scent.
". . . but Hatake is returning today from his trip."
"Father won't be back until late in the afternoon." Natsume said nonchalantly. He lifted his face and covered her mouth with his, locking her in a hot, fiery kiss.
And all was forgotten as their naked bodies once again became responsive to each other's needs.

What they were having was a sin, he knew.
She was cheating on her husband, and with her husband's son, no less.
While he was betraying his own father.
They were a couple of adulterers,
But somehow, Natsume didn't feel any remorse about it.
Perhaps he had no conscience after all.
One thing was certain though:
Mikan was worth it.
She was addictive and he just couldn't seem to get enough of her.
They had been sneaking around with each other,
And had been shamelessly taking advantage of his father's frequent absence.
Natsume didn't know how long this secret affair would last. . .
. . . Maybe he would never let it end.
He didn't want it to end.
He was happy when he was with her,
And it was not just about the sex.
He was content just having her in his arms, and just looking at her face and seeing her rare genuine smile.
He always found himself wanting to be in her company.
But he didn't want it to always be in secret.
He didn't want to forever share her with another man, especially not with his father.
He knew by now that Mikan was not truly happy with her marriage.
It was clear that she would rather be with him than her husband; he could tell by the way she was always hesitant leaving his side.
She wanted to be with him as much as he wanted to be with her.
His father didn't deserve her. The old man only wanted Mikan for her body and beautiful face and nothing more than that.
It both angered and frustrated him how Mikan had no choice but to make his father her first priority. . .
Because that old disgusting man was her husband.
And Natsume couldn't do anything about it because it was the painful truth.
When his father was around, Natsume had to wait until Mikan was free of her duties to the man she was betrothed with.
It was maddening.
Natsume didn't want to wait for his turn. He wanted her all to himself.
And yet, he couldn't do anything.
Maybe it would be better if his father would just die already.
But that was impossible to happen as of the moment; his father was still as healthy as a bull.
And Natsume was not that insane to kill him himself.
He hated his father to the core, yes, but not so much that he would become a murderer.
He was swiftly pulled out of his thoughts when his bedroom door creaked open and Mikan walked in.
She smiled that sweet yet seductive smile as she approached his bed.
"Hatake just left,"
A smirk crept onto his face, "Yeah?"
"Yes." She murmured when she reached him and threw her arms around his neck, "And he said he'd be gone again for the weekend."
The smirk turned into a wide grin,
"Wonderful."

Author's Note: This fic is getting troublesome. I wanted to focus on Fixation but I couldn't because I also want to finish this asap. I'm kinda starting to regret writing this one that I kinda wanted to delete this story once and for all, LOLJK. Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter, though. It motivated me to continue this story. :)
