"Are you going to pick up any supplies while we're here, Natsuki?" Shizuru asked curiously, as she and the dark-haired woman strolled down the center of the town square.
Natsuki nodded her head, before tilting it towards the local Western Union.
"Yeah, I'm going to go request a money transfer of a portion of my funds be sent to this branch location. It'll take a few days to get here I reckon'...so...in the meantime...if it wouldn't be too much trouble...could I possibly...stay with you for a little while longer? I'll work around the house for you! I'll chop the wood, so you don't have to pay someone else to come and do it. I'll clean up Duran's stall, and keep it spotless for you. I'll do whatever you want and need! I just...want to stay around you a bit longer...if that's all right with you?" Natsuki asked with a shy smile, as she stopped before the Western Union building, and gazed fondly into Shizuru's slightly-widened, garnet-red eyes.
Natsuki had pretty much just offered Shizuru the exact thing she had wanted to ask the ebony-haired woman to do...to stay with her for just a bit longer...but she had been unsure about how to go about actually asking.
Shizuru wanted Natsuki to stay with her, and to be with her for a little while longer. She didn't want the emerald-eyed woman to leave, and continue on with her wandering ways. Because Shizuru was absolutely, positively certain that if she ever let Natsuki Kuga out of her sight...she may never get to see the dark-haired woman ever again. Natsuki didn't seem like the type of person to go back and visit somewhere twice. She was a roaming spirit...once she left...it would probably be the very last time Shizuru would get to look into those brilliant, jade-green eyes ever again.
And she didn't want that.
"Of course Natsuki can stay longer with me. In fact...Natsuki can stay as long as she wants or needs," Shizuru answered with a smile, that was just on this side of coy and shy at the same time.
A brilliant smile lit up Natsuki's face and without thinking she reached down, wrapped her arms around Shizuru's waist, and swung the slender woman up into the air with a happy laugh.
"Yeehaw! That's great, Shizuru! Thank you! Thank you so much! You will not regret having me around, I promise! I'll make sure your home is as well taken care of as if you had a man in the house," Natsuki exclaimed happily, before she gently placed Shizuru back down onto the ground, with a light blush staining her cheeks at how she'd just picked up the chestnut-haired woman, and swung her around so freely.
Shizuru hummed with pleasure, as she was carefully set back down onto the ground, like she was the most precious of delicate glass.
"I don't want or need a man to help me take care of my home...but I'll very happily take a Natsuki," Shizuru said with such a teasing smile on her face and twinkle in her eye, that all Natsuki could do was burst out laughing, even as her face flushed lightly red with pleasure.
She could already tell that she was going to have quite an interesting time staying with Shizuru.
She couldn't wait.
~Two and a half weeks later~
"Phew," Natsuki exclaimed, as she wiped away the sweat that had formed on her brow with the back of her hand. She then picked up back the axe she'd been holding, to bring it up and down in a mighty swing into a block of wood placed before her.
The sun beat down relentlessly onto her bare shoulders, as she was working in only her breeches and boots, with her usual chest wrappings tied securely around her breasts and back. There was no one else around for miles, so Natsuki felt fairly secure in working outside in the scorching heat, in bare minimum attire.
Besides, she knew now that Shizuru enjoyed seeing her working up a sweat in just her breeches and wrap. She'd caught the honey-brunette checking her out with a barely-lidded stare enough times now, to fully confirm this for herself.
She also realized now, that she and Shizuru had shared a near instant attraction for each other from practically the start.
They'd been dancing around each other in a kind of sexually-frustrated game for most of the last week and a half. Ever since that first time when Shizuru had touched her cock, Natsuki had practically yearned for the tawny-haired woman to touch her again.
It was beginning to become almost physically painful to be around the honey-brunette, and not want to strip her bare, lay her down on the bed and make sweet, passionate love to her.
Natsuki had never actually made love with anyone before in her life, as she'd never been confident enough to bare herself so completely with someone else, without fear of rejection and revulsion shown to her because of her male body part. But Shizuru had already shown and proven that she not only didn't she mind the cock, she also didn't seem to mind touching it. But Natsuki told herself that she was still a guest in Shizuru's home, and as a guest...even one who was paying by working around the house...she should respect certain boundaries.
Though with the way Shizuru had been lightly trailing her fingers across her shoulders when they were bare like now, or the way she would give these almost-smoldering glances that practically stripped her 'guest' bare with their intensity...Natsuki was beginning to believe that she really needed to drop the whole look but don't touch line of thinking she'd been going on with for the past week and a half.
Then when a cool touch suddenly began stroking itself up and down her bare arm and shoulders, Natsuki definitely believed that it was high time she dropped that completely unhelpful...and sexually-frustrating...way of thinking.
She simply wanted Shizuru.
And with the way that the honey-brunette was lightly running cool fingers across her bare back and shoulders...Natsuki was seriously beginning to believe that Shizuru wanted her too.
It was high time she granted Shizuru's not-so-silent requests.
Natsuki turned her head slightly, to pin the woman standing beside her holding a cold glass of liquid, with a look that must have clearly shown every...intense...thought she'd been thinking about herself and Shizuru together, as a small gasp escaped Shizuru's lips and an answering look crossed her lovely features.
"Nat...su...ki..." Shizuru barely strangled out, before she found herself being pulled into a strong yet warm embrace, with equally warm lips pressing urgently against her own.
Shizuru let out a loud gasp as the glass slipped from her fingers, to land on the dusty ground between them.
It was finally happening.
Shizuru had wanted the dark-haired woman, and wanted to feel the succulent pressure of her lips pressed as hotly against her own as they were now, for so long that she'd lost count of the amount of times she'd made herself come late into the night, when Natsuki was fast asleep on the small cot they'd set up for her, on the other side of the room.
Shizuru herself had wanted Natsuki to continue sleeping in the same bed as her, but Natsuki had insisted on being a perfect 'gentleman' and house guest these last two-and-a-half, sexually-frustrating weeks.
So, Shizuru had had to satisfy herself with dreams of Natsuki taking her, and making her her own.
They were the most sexually-explicit dreams Shizuru had ever had in her life, and they'd always left her panting and dripping wet when she'd awoken.
Luckily she'd always been an exceptionally early riser, and so she'd always been cleaned up and ready to start the morning, by the time Natsuki also awoke.
And now finally, it seemed that she was going to get to experience her most desired dreams in reality.
Shizuru let out a long, low moan as she raised her hands to lightly thread her fingers through the thick, dark hair of the woman she deeply desired.
Natsuki Kuga practically already held Shizuru's heart in the palms of her hands...and if Shizuru had her way now...Natsuki would also completely own her body.
