You guys should be proud of me! Two chapters in two days? Who knows, I might make it three chapters in two days. Chase and Kimiko are having their meeting, what shall happen?
Midnight, by the magnolia trees
A gentle breeze blew through the grove of trees, sending soft petals dancing in the air. The air was fragrant with the scent of flowers and the sound of nocturnal animals going about their business. Chase was leaning against the bark of the tree, still dressed in his armor, the wind ruffling his thick hair, when Kimiko approached the grove. She stood a few feet from him, draped in the shadows provided by the trees, but she knew he knew she was there by the way he cocked his head ever so slightly and took a deep breath, as if he were trying to breathe her in.
"I know you are there, little Dragoness. I am here, as you summoned." Chase spoke softly, even though both knew they were alone in this grove. He watched as Kimiko stepped forth from the protection of the shadows, still wearing her Xiaolin robes, as if she were afraid either of them could forget who they were. The moonlight peeked through the clouds and caught her fair skin, making her glow like an ethereal being. She was beautiful, and Chase could feel himself hardening beneath his armor, desire pulsing through his veins as he struggled to keep his predatory side in check.
He didn't want to admit it, even to himself, but he was afraid that if he lost control of himself then he would not be able to hold back from taking Kimiko right there in the grove. Even as she walked closer to him and the scent of her perfume mingled with the scent of magnolia blossoms, he struggled to keep himself in check. But when he noticed the almost vulnerable expression on her beautiful face, his protective instincts kicked in and he wanted nothing but to pull her close and hold her.
"What is wrong, little one? What has you so sad?" Praying that his protective nature overtook his predatory lust, he took a step forward and pulled her into his embrace. She surprised him by wrapping her arms around him and holding onto him as tight as she could, so tight that he was worried his armor would leave a bruise on her soft skin. Very gently, he pulled back and tipped her face up so he could see her better. But then he saw the tears that sparkled in her beautiful blue eyes. Who had made his mate cry? Rage boiled in his veins and he found himself crushing her to his chest again, holding her close as if that would take away all the pain and hurt.
"Tell me who has upset you so, little one. It pains me to see you so upset." Chase could not believe how tender he was being with her, but knew it was no less than she deserved when in his arms. Reaching one hand up, he cupped her cheek and was stunned when she rubbed said cheek against his hand and giving him a soft smile. She always was so beautiful when she smiled, and knowing that he was the reason she smiled caused a small smile to form on his face.
"I'm sorry Chase, I did not intend to meet you here so you could comfort me through my fears. I came here so we could discuss this nasty habit you have of spying." A secretive smile now graced her face and he was puzzled trying to figure out what was going to happen now. He watched as she stepped away and released her silky black locks from her usual twin tails, leaving it fluttering around her like a cape in the gentle breeze.
This merely intensified his desire for her, and he wanted nothing more than to pin her soft body to a tree and ravage her. Yet at the same time, he wanted to cherish her and hold her close to him as he brought them both to the edge of oblivion. Dropping his arms away from her, he watched her as she loosened the belt to her robes. His eyes widened and his shaft hardened at the sight of her soft bare skin being exposed to the gentle night air. She dropped her robe to the ground, exposing the barely there white tank top she wore along with her white leggings. With the moon shining down on her soft skin, he could make out the barest hint of her pale lace bra.
When she caught him staring at her, she smirked and stepped out of her shoes, leaving her bare toes caressing the grass beneath them. "I hardly find it fair that I am stripped down to my under things and you are still dressed, Chase. That armor must be stifling, take it off." Her words were nearly a purr and as if she had put him in a trance, he started to remove the heavy pieces of armor until he was stripped down to his black long sleeved top and matching pants. He too slid off his shoes and reveled in the feel of the slightly damp grass beneath his feet. It felt strange to be this dressed down in front of another, but it also felt so right.
Desire darkened his eyes as he lifted a hand up and held it out to Kimiko. "Come here, little one. Let me taste you and your desire." He could smell her arousal from where he was standing and her scent was driving him wild. He saw her soft lips curve in a mischievous smile and she wriggled out of her tights, dropping them to the ground with her discarded robe. This left her standing in the moonlight in nothing but her tank top, bra, and a tiny pair of white lace panties.
The meaning of white did not escape him as she moved closer to him, a shy expression on his little mate's face. Usually she was so strong and confident around others, and he was grateful that she showed only him this beautiful side of her.
"Trust me, little one. I shall not hurt you." One part of him screamed to take her hard and fast against the ground, to claim her as his while another part whispered to him, giving him the image of binding his little mate to his bed, watching as she writhed with pleasure beneath him and struggled against the bonds he would use to hold her. He shook away that image, not wanting to step over his boundaries too quickly. He didn't want to scare her away by being too passionate and wild.
He broke free from his thoughts when he felt her slender arms wrap around his neck and her soft body press close to his. Her heat radiated off of her, mingling with her sweet scent of arousal. But, when he buried her face in her neck and inhaled her lovely scent, he noticed that it had a slight tinge of fear to it. Deciding that she was frightened of this moment, he sought to ease her fears by gently pressing his lips to her racing pulse and trailing soft kisses from her neck to her jaw and all the way up to the corner of her lips, where he pressed tiny kisses at each corner. He smiled at the soft sound of annoyance she made at his actions and could feel her moving against him restlessly.
"Are you sure about this, Kimiko? If you give yourself to me in this way, I will never be able to let you go again. You will be mine, my mate." He felt her stiffen slightly but saw her tiny nod before she found her voice again. "Yes Chase. Please, just banish his touch from my skin. I can still feel him touching me, using your face as he did it. I want those memories gone and to be replaced with something beautiful." She cupped his cheek in one hand and gave him a soft kiss. He felt her tears as he held her in his arms and cursed Hannibal Bean even more for causing his little Kimiko so much pain.
"Hush now, little one. Let us leave this place and I shall give you what you need." He feathered soft kisses across her cheeks and eyelids before pressing his lips to hers in a tender kiss. Picking her up in his arms like his bride, he summoned one of his cat warriors to gather her clothes and his armor. With his Kimiko wrapped securely in his arms, he made his way back to his lair and both warriors vanished into the night, leaving only the magnolia trees and moon as their witness.
I know many of you expected the sex scene to finally happen here, but it'll be next chapter, sorry! And no, it won't start out very kinky, but no worries! Please RxR! No flames and sadly, I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. If I did, this ship would have been canon already and that stupid spin off show wouldn't have existed.
