Wow! Two updates in one week! I'm on a roll! Actually... I've been procrastinating writing an essay for class all weekend and this is what I got done.
My dad: Working hard on that essay right?
Me: -looks down at chapter open on laptop- yeeaaaahhhh
Onward with the chapter! Things are really going to start to heat up in this one!
It was hard not to stare. She was… sexy, for lack of a better word. The fact that that's the word he used to describe her gave Kazuto an uneasy feeling. She was a vision right now and he never dared dream he'd see her in something so revealing and glamorous. She was always beautiful, he'd known that from the very beginning. But there was something in the way the outfit highlighted all of her best assets that made him want to… devour her. It was certainly a feeling that he wasn't used to. Even just looking at her right now made his blood rush both north and south.
"K-Kirito-kun?"
Oh, that's right. His illicitly hot girlfriend was standing right in front of him watching as he ogled her, shamelessly.
"Y-you look really nice, Asuna." He stuttered, avoiding eye contact.
Asuna, not knowing how to interpret her boyfriend's reaction, was nevertheless embarrassed by how nearly every male in the room was blatantly staring at her. She had definitely been hoping to make Kazuto's jaw drop with her outfit but she really didn't want everyone looking at her. Suddenly she felt a sharp jab to her side and turned to see Rima to her side, smiling excitedly.
"I told you he'd like it! You look amazing, so don't worry okay?" she said reassuringly.
Asuna smiled warmly. "Thanks, Rima. At least I hope he likes it."
"If he's anything like his brother, the way he looked at you spoke volumes." Rima winked.
It wasn't long before Asuna was also acquainted with the entire group. Then it was time to head out to The Band Hall. Except there may have been a slight delay, due to the fact that no one could agree on how to get there. While the girls preferred to take a limo to the club, the guys all wanted to drive and show off their expensive sports cars.
"I don't want to have to deal with having to pick a designated driver, I'd rather just take the limo." Rima reasoned, crossing her arms. Kai sighed.
"Fine, but we're taking him to the races before he leaves. He needs to see a real car show."
"Fine."
So they all piled into a sleek, black stretch limo and headed out to the Band Hall. Kazuto and Asuna marveled at the sheer size of the club, and not to mention the privacy that came with it. It was a beachside club, with the back porch facing the beach. There were two stories. The top floor was really just a large balcony that overlooked the first floor, but there was also a small bar and some couches and tables. The bottom floor was mostly dance floor but there was a roped off area in the right hand corner with plush couches and a mini-bar and buffet. There was an even larger bar than on the second floor that went along the right wall. There were also doors along the back wall leading out to the patio area. What was most surprising though, was the large stage that went along the left wall. It was set up with lots of band equipment and microphones, as well as turntables near the back of the stage.
"Is this like a karaoke bar or something?" Kazuto asked, looking towards the rest of the group as they got passed the bouncers with no trouble.
Bryan scowled at the comment and Sam crossed her arms over her chest in annoyance. "No, it's not a karaoke bar. It's the hottest club in the Okijama district. There's over 20,000 people on the waitlist." She sneered, scowling down at the younger boy. "And we," she motioned between herself and Bryan, "are the owners."
Kazuto winced, sending the brunette twins an apologetic look.
Soon after, Kazuto and Asuna found themselves seated in the roped off area on the plush couches, being served apple martinis. Asuna grimaced as she sipped at the bitter beverage, and Kazuto plain ignored his, setting it off to the side.
It took a few minutes for Kazuto and Asuna to get used to the atmosphere of the Band Hall. There were sweaty, grinding bodies packed on the first floor while the second floor was occupied by fancily dressed patrons sipping expensive looking beverages.
"Mind if we joined you guys?" A lanky kid with light brown hair and dark eyes said as he approached the rope that separated the group from the rest of the club.
Standing with the boy was a small, orange-haired girl who rivaled Rima in size and a guy with chocolate-brown hair and brown eyes. They didn't look Kai's age, in fact they looked closer to Kazuto's age.
Kaito cleared his throat and gestured to the trio as they passed the velvet rope. "Kazuto and Asuna, meet Tommy, Annie, and Ryo. They're a little closer to your age."
Ryo Hollis was the first to step up to greet the two. He introduced himself as the twins' little cousin and seemed nice enough, very flirty though which gave him an even more striking resemblance to his cousins. Annie Tohomiko was next, and while her introduction was polite it wasn't particularly friendly. Tommy was the last to introduce himself to couple and while he seemed rather nice, Kazuto got a vibe from him that was a little too weary. The trio found a plush couch to the right of Asuna and Kazuto and ordered fancy-sounding alcoholic beverages. Tommy had an arm around Annie's waist, indicating their coupling.
Slightly bored, Kazuto looked around curiously, there was a large mass of grinding bodies dancing to "GDFR" by Flo Rida on the dance floor and while most of the group was seated with him, Samantha and Ami were nowhere to be seen. Like he'd done many times before, he looked to his brother, who was busy downing a clear liquid in a glass, for answers.
Noticing the look, Kai sighed. "You'll see in a bit. This place is super exclusive because popular artists like Sam and Rima like to debut their songs here. I think Sam is setting up for her first number right now."
"And Ami?" Kazuto asked curiously.
"She's a music producer and emcee. She kinda runs the show down here. You know, DJ-ing and stuff." The older man said simply.
Before Kazuto could ask any further questions, the sound of sirens blared through the building and the lights went out, leaving the entire place pitch black except for a red spotlight center stage. A few seconds after the sirens subsided and an electric beat pounded through the speakers, the lights let up to reveal Samantha taking center stage, bringing the mic to her lips with a devilish smirk.
"Here goes…" he heard Kai murmur beside him.
Sweat, drippin' down your chest
Thinking 'bout your tattooed knuckles on my thigh boy-boy-boy
Cold… shower you got no, power to control
How I make you my toy-toy-toy
Samantha's sultry voice rang through the club and the crowd let out a series of cheers. Asuna looked to the stage, where the brunette stood in all of her glory, dancing in ways she was sure she'd never be able to. The woman moved in such a hypnotizing way Asuna was sure that every single male in the room was looking at her, even Kazuto. Though imagine her surprise when she found her boyfriend looking at her instead of the vixen on the stage. He was smiling at her gently when he stood and offered her his hand.
"I know I'll be bad at it, but would you like to dance?" he said, grinning down at her.
"Sure…" she replied hesitantly, taking his hand. He led her to the middle of the dance floor where there was a small clearing just large enough for the two of them to dance comfortably.
In all honestly, Kazuto thought the only way to control his raging hormones was to distract himself by most likely embarrassing himself in the middle of a bunch of really famous people. If he could focus on not screwing that up, maybe he'd be able to keep his blood from rushing to his pants at the sight of Asuna in that outfit.
My hips rockin' as we keep lip lockin'
Got the neighbors screamin' even louder-louder
Lick me down like you were rollin' rizla
I'm smoking… come and put me out
He was definitely wrong.
Holding Asuna so close to him while she was moving was doing anything but distracting him from how amazing she looked. It didn't help that he still didn't know how to dance. Now he just looked like an idiot and his hormones were raging out of control. He needed something to loosen him up and keep him from looking like a total ass-hat. He needed alcohol… like now.
Meanwhile Asuna was trying to copy the way Samantha was dancing on stage. It was nowhere near her level of sexiness, but she hoped the winding of her hips was enough to get her boyfriend's attention. She pouted when she realized that he was looking anywhere but at her. His hands held her hips loosely as she moved closer to him, throwing her arms around his neck and pulling him closer to her.
I'm your dream girl, this is real love
But you know what they say about me
That girl is a problem- girl is a problem
Girl is a problem-problem
Asuna turned Kazuto's head to look at her. "What's wrong? You're not looking at me." She nearly whined.
Kazuto's eyes widened and he nearly fainted at how amazing she sounded. Then he processed what she said. "I'm sorry. You're just a really good dancer and I suck," he lied through his teeth, "Maybe I should get a drink, you know, to loosen me up a bit."
Asuna was skeptical and hesitant. On one hand, she didn't want Kazuto to have to be intoxicated to have a good time, but on the other hand she wouldn't mind a drink or two to loosen up her own nerves.
Baby you's a bad boy, drive me mad boy
But you don't care what they say about me
That girl is a problem-girl is a problem
Girl is a problem-problem
After Asuna agreed that they could both use some alcohol in their systems, they headed back to the VIP area where Kaito and Rima were slamming shots together.
"I feel like Klein and Agil would love it here…" Kazuto murmured absentmindedly. Asuna giggled at that.
Kazuto found his abandoned apple martini and drank it quickly. It was bitter, burned his throat, and tasted almost nothing like apples. Asuna ordered herself a cocktail. But before Kazuto could order another one for himself, Kai shoved a short glass of pink liquid in his hands. He noticed Asuna was now holding another of the drink and Rima had an arm slung over her shoulder.
"Drink up. It's cranberry juice and vodka, you can't taste the alcohol all that much." Said Kai, downing his own pink beverage.
I got your name, hanging from my chain
Don't you wanna claim my body like a vandal?
You got the cure, underneath your shirt
Don't you wanna save this dirty little damsel?
Got my mink coat falling on the motel floor
You're on the bed, wolf whistling getting louder-louder
You lips smudging all my makeup
Kicking both my heels off, come and pin me down.
Three cranberry-vodkas later and Kazuto was on the dance floor again with Asuna, paying every ounce of attention to the way she was moving against him and too inebriated to stop his own grinding against her. It felt nice. She felt nice, her warm body pressed against his in the most delicious way possible. The alcohol in his system was surely doing its job of keeping his nerves calm, yet it stripped him of all inhibitions and there was nothing mentally stopping him from ravishing her right here on the dance floor.
I'm your dream girl, this is real love
But you know what they say about me
That girl is a problem- girl is a problem
Girl is a problem-problem
Baby you's a bad boy, drive me mad boy
But you don't care what they say about me
That girl is a problem-girl is a problem
Girl is a problem-problem
People wolf whistled at the far from innocently dancing couple, and the two were too caught up in each other to even notice. Wearily, Kaito turned to his blonde girlfriend and shot her a disapproving look.
"Did you expect this to happen?" he scolded. She turned to him with wide eyes.
"Not at all. I wanted them to drink to get them to loosen up and not be so stiff around each other, but I had no idea they'd be like this. I saw the way your brother looked at her in that outfit. He just needs a little push to give her what she wants…"
"And how do you know that's what she wants?"
Rima cocked an eyebrow at him, as if to say are you really asking me that? "I just know, hun. We're girls, we can sense things like that."
Kai simply shrugged. "I still don't think you should be meddling."
We're hell raising and we don't need saving,
Cuz there's no salvation for a bad girl
We're rock bottom, but there ain't no stopping
Cuz they don't know nothing about love
We're hell raising and we don't need saving,
Cuz there's no salvation for a bad boy
We're rock bottom, but there ain't no stopping
Cuz it's you and me against the world
Kazuto was getting dangerously close to devouring the chestnut girl in his arms. Her mouth was so tempting, skin so soft and begging for his touch. Without much thought, he gathered her up in his arms and sealed his mouth over hers, giving her one of the most heated kisses she'd ever experienced. Pulling herself flush against him, Asuna wrapped her arms around his neck and tangled her fingers in his midnight hair. His lips were so delicious it sent shivers down her spine. She wanted more, needed more. She wanted to feel him around her like their first night together in SAO, except she wanted it to be real this time. Asuna moaned softly as she felt his tongue graze her bottom lip, begging for entry which she granted without a second thought. Their tongues battled fiercely for dominance but in the end Asuna allowed herself to be dominated by him.
"Kirito-kun… please…" she moaned into his mouth, clutching the front of his shirt.
Kazuto pulled away slightly to move his lips down her jawbone to her neck. He nipped and sucked at the soft flesh there, making her moan in his ear. He was slowly sobering, but showed no signs of wanting to stop. He just wanted to know that she wanted him as much as he wanted her right now. Pulling away from her neck, he looked down to meet her clear, obviously sober, gaze. Turns out she had been sobering up during their heated moment too, not that it made any of her feelings change.
"Asuna… are you sure about this?" Kazuto asked gently, grasping her hand that was clutching his shirt.
Asuna nodded, a look of sheer determination and lust in her eyes. "I'm sure. I love you, Kazuto."
Kazuto smiled. "I love you, too."
After making subtle eye contact with Kai from across the room, the couple headed to the front doors of the Band Hall and slipped into the limo. On the limo ride back to the estate, it was hard for the two to keep their hands off each other. Asuna let her hands venture underneath her boyfriend's shirt and Kazuto allowed his hands to roam wherever they pleased. As they approached the gates of the estate Kazuto gave Asuna a meaningful look.
"Asuna, do you trust me?"
Asuna blushed at the implications of his words, "I trust you."
A/N: I'm pretty sure you got what I implied. There will be a lemon for those of you wanting to read that but since this is a T-rated fic I am going to post it as a one-shot in the M-rated section of SAO :) Hope you enjoyed!
