Chapter Six

Stop! Step away!

Inside Kyo's head his rational side was screaming at him. Throwing images of hardships to come like rocks against his skull if he did not stop his current course of action. His body, on the other hand, was wrapping itself around Tohru all on its own, telling whatever rationality he had left to go suck it.

Damn it!

Tohru's heart raced at the sound of Kyo's low, almost ferocious growl against her lips. The kiss had started out chaste, gentle and sweet but then something took hold Kyo and it turned into a torrid of passion. It was so painfully different. He pulled his hands up from around her body caressing her curves as he went then plunged them into her hair, reveling in her soft tresses. Tilting her head back, making her soft lips part - damn her soft lips - his mouth claimed hers and she followed him with a desperate abandon.

Never in her life had Tohru experienced this I-must-have-you-now-or-I-will-die feeling for anyone before. Hell, this was her first time kissing someone; she had no idea if she was doing this right or if he even liked it. Tohru followed his movements, using them as a guide. When he ran his tongue along her bottom lip, she responded by lightly nipping at his. That elicited a response from him that excited her and made her feel so very powerful.

"Tohru." he rasped her name. His hands broke free of her hair, as he bent down and grabbed her legs, pulling them up and around his waist. Tohru was slammed in to the wall again; her arms flying around his shoulders, gripping him tightly, the only pain that she felt was inside of her as she arched her back, pressing her breasts into his chest, aching to be touched. It was a desperate agony, a hot pressure building in her abdomen; she wanted him to make it go away but at the same time begged to hold on to it even longer. Kyo pushed his hips in to hers as he ran his hands along her thighs and took hold of her plump bottom, making known just how much he desired her. She felt his hardness between her legs, felt his length rub against her womanhood through the fabric of their clothing, throbbing, begging to be released from with the confines of Kyo's trousers.

She started getting dizzy and her hand's pushed against his chest as she broke away, gasping for breath but that didn't stop Kyo's mouth from exploring. He dipped his head in to her neck, his lips kissing trails along the base of her ear to her shoulder, his tongue swirling, tasting every surface, catching her ear lope. Kyo's rational mind was crushed underneath the monster of desire. It filled his mind of all the things he wanted to do the beautiful woman in his arms and there was no way he could stop it as he continued the assault on Tohru's neck. But then something did. She brought her hands up into his hair, feeling his skin hot against hers on her way. A soft moan drifted from her mouth as she brought her head down to lovingly murmur in his ear, "That was my first kiss."

Kyo barely registered her words in his head. I'm her first? His heart skipped a beat. I'm her first. That statement, born of lust and desire, created another being inside of him, one that wanted to protect her, worship her, and love her if he gave it the chance. And suddenly, reality came crashing back on to him and he groaned in frustration as his rational mind took back control, pushing his desire back like a steam roller. I can't do this to her.

Tohru sensed the change in him. She had let the confession slip through her lips and now instantly regretted it. Kyo didn't pull back automatically; he took his time releasing her, caressing her legs as he guided them back to the floor. He placed his hands on the walls on either side of her to stop him from touching her as he left a trace of butterfly kisses on her lips. He didn't want her to feel rejected as he pulled away. He pulled himself off of her and backed away until his back was against the wall on the opposite side of her. Kyo looked at Tohru, eyes still heated, the pain he felt in his heart overwhelming the desire that burned below his waist. Tohru wrapped her arms around herself as she met his eyes, tears already starting to form. She licked her lips, they felt numb and swollen.

They stood there, looking at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Kyo letting his heart rate return to normal before he spoke.

"Honda-sama," Kyo began darkly, "This was not suppose to happen. I'm sorry. I must ask you to leave."

"What?" disbelief in her voice, eyes wide.

"Leave. Now. Do not make me repeat myself." His hands curling into fists at his sides.

"But, Kyo, we can talk about this." She said pleadingly, her arms reached out to touch him.

"NO!" he yelled, making her flinch back, "There is nothing to say. I let my emotions control me again. I have betrayed my brother's trust and yours. Please, Honda-sama, leave now, I beg of you."

"How can I, when all I want to do is be with you!" Her voice was shaking, on the verge of tears, anger simmered underneath.

The sight of her standing before him made him want to weep. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were moist with tears Kyo almost let his control break again but he held up the dam of emotions inside of him with all his might, "Your feelings are misplaced. Had Yuki been able to be here instead of myself, you would have had the same reaction. I'm sorry."

He pushed himself off of the wall and made a b-line for the door. He swung it open; his eyes were cold and serious when they locked on to Tohru's. She gasped, realizing that arguing at this point would make matters worse. Even still, she had no words. She wanted to kick and scream at her father for agreeing to this arranged marriage, she wanted to slap Kyo across his face for making her feel this way, she wanted to throw herself off a building for allowing herself to be so selfish. Even more so she wanted to curse at the gods or Fate or whoever was up there for allowing her to meet this man who had given her one of the happiest moments of her life.

Tohru ran out of the room, holding her breath, making sure not to look at him, making sure not to breathe him in. She ran back toward her room and in the darkness of the earlier morning she succumbed to the despair within her.

------***------***------***------***------

The next few days dragged for Tohru. She stayed in bed most of the time and empty shell. If she wasn't in bed, she sat on her balcony staring off into the sky, watching the birds fly off in the distance and wishing she could be one of them. She refused to leave her room in order to avoid seeing him, forcing Azumi to bring her food during meal times even though she hardly touched any of it. Her father had come in to check on her, concerned. Tohru let him believe that she still was still ill and that she would be fine before the end of the week.

She didn't feel fine however. She felt far from it. Defeated, confused, hurt. What did she expect? That their relationship, if you could even call it that, would be over looked? That they could live happily ever after? Tohru had only known him for two days and it had been 3 since she last saw him. Azumi was right about one thing, he was not the one she belonged to. How could she be so selfish? What would they have done? Run away? She would have never allowed Kyo to do that. She knew that his relationship with his brother was important to him.

On the day before she was to leave her old life Azumi found her, huddled in the corner of her shower, wet, naked and sobbing her eyes out. The elderly woman's heart dropped and entered the shower and sat next to Tohru fully clothed, not caring. Tohru leaned into her embrace, mumbling apology after apology only to have Azumi shush her silent, the disagreement between them forgotten. Azumi held her best friend's daughter in her arms, saying nothing, understanding the torment that captured Tohru like a plague. They sat there together as Tohru's heart shattered piece by piece on to the cold bathroom floor.

------***------***------***------***------

They went through the motions of a regular Saturday morning. Azumi woke Tohru early, ate breakfast with her and made sure that she was clothed. Together they repacked a few of her belongings, mostly clothes that she would need while the rest would shipped off to her once the marriage was complete. Azumi regretted the words that they said to each other a few nights ago. She was only worried about Tohru's wellbeing knowing that if she involved herself even more with Kyo that her feelings would have been in jeopardy. The words I told you so echoed in her mind even though they sounded cruel and hurtful.

Once they had finished, they sat and waited until it was time to go.

------***------***------***------***------

Kyo stood by the limo and checked his watch. If they left now, they would be back at the Sohma compound before nightfall. Katsuya had gone to collect his daughter himself, wanting to spend a few more minutes with her before she left. They stood at the front door, his arms wrapped around his daughter murmuring their goodbyes. Kyo couldn't see Tohru's face as it was buried in her father's chest but he could tell from the way that her shoulders were shaking that she was crying. Azumi stood in the background, wiping tears from her eyes, Kyo noting that the two women had probably made up after their argument. Kyo turned away from the scene unable to stomach it. He wanted nothing more than to get into the limo and drive off, leaving Tohru there with her family where she belonged. Instead, he stood frozen in place when they finally made their way toward him.

"Kyo, please take care of my daughter and be safe on your journey home." Katsuya said, extending his hand.

Kyo took his hand in his own and replied, "I will do everything in my power to ensure your daughter's safety."

"Good." Katsuya stated simply. He turned to Tohru, who was looking at her feet and embraced her again, "Daughter, call me if you need anything. Be kind to Yuki. We will see you in a month's time."

"Hai, Otou-san"

Kyo sucked in his breath. Her voice was empty and sounded a million miles away. Katsuya stepped back, giving his daughter a loving smile as Kyo opened the door to the limo. Tohru stepped in front of it and paused, her eyes scanning the distance as if looking for a way to escape. With out thinking, Kyo reached over and placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her it a soft squeeze of encouragement. She jumped at the contact, whipping her head around and glared daggers at him making Kyo retract his hand and turn away, unable to look her in the eye, and gave her private moment back.

He heard her sharp intake of breath and felt the limbo bounce slightly as she entered it. He looked back at Katsuya and bowed to him before entering the vehicle himself. This would be a long ride home.

------***------***------***------***------

The next few days were a blur to Tohru and surprisingly with everything that was happening she was able to take her mind off of what happened between her and Kyo. The moments that they shared together were never far from her thought but being busy with activities allowed her blow off some steam.

The first night that she arrived at the Sohma Estate she was promptly given a tour of the surrounding areas. The estate itself comprised of an incredible amount of land with was divided into quarters. Quarter number one comprised of the Sohma & Sons head quarters, part of their land was actually situated with in the business district of the down town area which made their commute to and from work surprisingly pleasant. Quarter number two contained employee housing and other real estate ventures that was covered by the Sohmas. Quarters number three and four was all private land that one could only enter with appropriate security allowances. These two quarters were where the family lived and entertained. Quarter three contained the main kitchen, library and other recreational spots such as the Sohma spa and hot springs, basketball courts among other things while Quarter four contained housing for all of the extended family members and the main house where Yuki and his brothers along with their parents lived. Some would find it odd that grown men would still live with their parents but the size of the estate and each of their private living areas were large enough that they were basically separate from one another. Tohru was given her own area which was situated with in the main house with the rest of the family. The space was large enough to comfortably fit her family and the staff at her fathers home.

The area was ridiculously large and would have been more than overwhelmed with the scope of the land if it had not been for Kyo. He had provided her with her own cell phone with direct connection to the Estate Operator who provided her with directions if she became lost. Tohru found that she was allowed to explore where ever she pleased and if she needed a ride all she would have to do was dial 8 and someone would come zipping along in a golf cart to take her where ever she wanted to go on the grounds. Kyo had also pointed out that if she dialed 7 on her cell phone it would connect her directly to Azumi. Kyo had also provided her old care taker with a cell phone of her own, of his own expense, so that Tohru would not feel so home sick. This jabbed at her heart strings but she pushed down the feelings, telling herself that he was only being kind and nothing else.

The first night was also the night that Tohru met Momiji and Hiro who brought her immediately at ease.

Momiji was the same age as Tohru and had also graduated early from college which then prompted him to immediately join the family business. He was he was vice president of client accounts and relations. His had a tendency to be able to diffuse any heated situation with his calm demeanor which made him perfect for the job. Momiji and Tohru became fast friends and with in the first few days of her arrival Momiji found that all of his spare time was spent with Tohru.

Hiro was the youngest of the four brothers and in his last year of college. He too would be graduating early but regardless of that he was already working for the family business as an intern until he graduated. Hiro was a genius when it came to technology and electronics prompting Yuki to prepare him for a position as head of software development which he would gladly accept in a few months time. Sometimes, his personality would come off as a bit arrogant and his mouth would get him into trouble at times but his brothers were always there to bail him out.

Surprisingly, Tohru's normal initial anxiety to meeting someone new, especially someone of the opposite sex, did not come into play with Momiji or Hiro. She latched onto there friendship and they welcomed her with open arms spending as much time with her as possible. They found that she was like the older sister they never had and reveled in all the feminine attention.

During the first week Kyo's presence in her life was almost non existent and left a part of her longing to fill the void. He would join them for dinner most nights but would promptly disappear once it was over, not making direct contact with her whenever possible. The younger brother's noticed this strange behavior and questioned Kyo about it private. The result only ended with a lump on the head for each of them from Kyo's fist and a door slammed in their faces. His reaction didn't surprise them however, they had a feeling that something had gone one between their older brother and soon to be sister yet they didn't bring it up ever again.

The only time that Tohru had actually spoken directly to Kyo was to ask about the absence of Yuki and his parents. During the entire time, Kyo had not received any word from his older brother even though he sent him regular updates on the business and Tohru's well being. While Tohru, who was still waiting to be introduced to the Sohma parents, was starting to suspect that something was being hidden from her. She asked Kyo before he left the dinner table one night when it would be a good time for them to meet at which he avoided her gaze and said that they were away on hiatus for now and she would meet them soon enough. Hiro and Momiji also avoided her questions about their parent's whereabouts which made Tohru concerned but she didn't want to press the issue to her soon to be new family.

Regardless of the absence of the Yuki and his parents, Tohru's life was pleasant and care free. She was free to use the pool whenever she wanted in the recreational area. There was a ride whenever she wanted one to go to the mall and shop, usually Momiji or Hiro would accompany her. There were plenty of books to read and she had her own computer to email her father. She would have many conversations with Azumi and true to his word, Kyo's little gift really did subside the home sickness. But regardless of all the things available to her there was still an emptiness with in her that could not be shaken.

------***------***------***------***------

"Tohru."

Her eyes snapped open at the sound of his voice saying her name. Tohru was asleep in her room, the sheets twisted around her and she quickly realized that he was standing at the foot of her bed.

"Kyo?" she looked up at him, pushing her disheveled hair away from her face, "What are you doing in here? How did you get in?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." His voice was suddenly a lot closer than before and she looked up to see him standing next to her. She sat up, confused, as the strap to her camisole fell from her shoulder.

"That still doesn't explain to me why you are here." She said, angrily.

Wordlessly, he sat down behind her and put his arms around her waist. Tohru jumped at the contact and tried to remove his arms but he just tightened them around her even more.

"Why are you doing this to me?" she gasped.

Suddenly, his head dipped into her neck, she felt him breathing her in and her eyes closed involuntarily as his lips traced her shoulder line.

"I can't stay away from you any more." He said huskily, his tongue darting out, exploring the curves of her neck. She shivered as her body suddenly igniting with his touch as his hands pulled her arms up and around his head then quickly moved their way down her body to caressed her torso, making their way up and down the her sides and her hips, pushing up the fabric of her camisole. When she moved to bring her arms back down to try and swat him away, he nipped at her neck, making it clear that she wasn't allowed to touch. She stopped fighting him surrendering to the feel of his hands, while her hands gripped the back of his head as his fingers brushed the underside of breasts. The fire that ignited her was now taking control of her entire body as she moaned in pleasure. She tilted her head back, allowing him more access to her neck which he began to kiss more fervently.

Kyo's hands burned as they grasped her breasts fully, her nipples coming to a stiff peak instantly under his warmth. He kneaded, pinched and caressed her until she was puddy in his hands, her back arched against his hands letting him know that she aching for more. He shifted quickly, leaning against the back of her bed, placing her between his legs, making her subject to his hands every desire, torturing her with his touch. His mouth continued its assault on her neck as one hand left a burning trail down her stomach and delved in to her the juncture between her legs. Tohru felt his desire pulse against her back as he discovered her naughty little secret.

"You sleep with out panties?" he groaned the question in her ear, his hand pulling her legs apart. His fingers toyed around the outside of her folds, spreading the moisture of her desire using it to lubricate the rough pad of his index finger as it made contact with her clit. The hot touch sent all of her nerve endings on fire making her cry out as he began to circle around it, slowly at first, his other hand shifting from one breast to another, and then faster and faster until his name was bouncing off the walls. She was sent over the edge when his other hand join its partner, delving a finger into her, slick inner walls pulsating, the heat inside of her growing, she gyrated her hips against his hands, her body screaming for release. Kyo inserted a second finger into her, pushing them deep with in her core, his other finger stimulating the aching nub.

Tohru was gasping his name with every breath; the heat was building faster now, looking for escape. Suddenly, his fingers left her and her eyes snapped open. She watched as he brought his fingers into his mouth and lapped up the juices that had surrounded them, his other hand still played with her nub

Eyes wide she watched this display, focused on his tongue as he growled into her ear, "You taste good." He shifted again, bringing Tohru's body up higher on his, setting free his lengthy desire from behind her and it stood erect at the entrance of her core. Heat radiated from his chest as it warmed her back and through her entire body as his hand guided his erection into her, his other hand pressing her hips forward. Tohru cried out, as she felt him enter her, her inner walls slick, stretching to welcome him. There was no pain only hot pleasure as he began to thrust in and out, Tohru spreading her legs even more, straining against him. He gripped her hips as he slammed her down on to him again and again, groaning her name with every thrust.

"More! I need more, Kyo!" she called out, not knowing how it would be possible.

Her answer came at the return of his hand to her clitoris and it sent her over the edge. The warm that had been building let loose over her entire body, she cried out again louder than before, her insides pulsating and her back arching to fill herself deeper with him.

"Tohru! I'm coming!" Kyo cried, his voice filled with need as he strained underneath her.

"I'm coming! Hold on!" suddenly there was a crash and her bed room door flung open.

Tohru's eyes snapped open again as she shot up in bed, Kyo rushing in at the same time.

"What? What's going on?" She was in bed alone.

"Tohru?! Why are you-?" Kyo's red eyes were locked on to her body. Quickly she looked down, realizing that her camisole was tossed to the side, leaving her completely exposed to Kyo. She dove underneath the covers with a yelp.

"I'm sorry, I was heading out and I heard you screaming my name. I thought you were in trouble."

"No, I'm fine." He heard her shaky muffled response from underneath the covers. Realizing that she must have been dreaming, blood rushed to his face as he made his way out of her room.

Oh my god! What the hell was I doing? Tohru now completely embarrassed did not move from bed until she heard his footsteps leave her room.

Kyo leaned against her doorway in the hallway and ran his hands through his hair. Everything beneath his waist tingled at the thought that she was screaming his name because she was in pleasure not in trouble. That must have been some dream He thought absently.

"Kyo! We're gonna be late!" he heard Momiji yell for him from down the hall, quickly regaining his composure. He made a mental note to avoid Tohru even more now. The sound of the shower could be heard from behind the door.

A/N: Believe it or not but that was my first lemon! Hope I did okay. Also, thanks for waiting for this chapter. I had lots of personal events happen through the weekend and didn't get a chance to update.
