Chapter 7

Several weeks later Himeno was in the shower when Hayate came screaming in all excited. He pulled her out of the shower and into his arms spinning her around the bathroom not caring that his shirt and pants were now soaking wet.

"Hayate!" she would have screamed his last name too if he'd had one. "What on earth has gotten into you?" She asked looking around the bathroom, water dripped down the walls, pooled on the floor and soaked into his shirt.

"I paid off the property, its mine now, ours!" He spun in another circle before seeming to realize just how naked she was, water dripped from her hair onto his face and her chest was very close to his face. His eyes went intense and a dark grin spread across his face.

"That's great love, now will you put me down?" His eyes darkened when she called him love. He liked it when she called him a nickname. Himeno had started calling him love after they'd made love the first time. He smiled and put her down; she kissed him and got back into the shower only to have the curtain pulled open with a very naked and aroused Hayate stepping in.

"What are you doing?" She couldn't help her eyes from roaming over his body. He did have an awesome body. The memory of that body being on top of hers made her face go red and she looked away.

"Celebrating," He picked her up and out of instinct she wrapped her legs around his waist to keep herself up. Her back pressed against the wall and he entered her smoothly loving the way her eyes clouded and her breath shuddered out.

"What are we celebrating?" The last word came out half moan when he nipped at her neck, thrusting into her deeply.

"Our first home together," He made it almost impossible for her to think and so she didn't reply.

Several minutes later he set her on her feet with a purely masculine smile of approval. She could only look up at him dazed and sated.

"I'll wash your back if you wash mine." He smiled and poured her soap into his hands rubbing his hands together in anticipation and before she could answer was sliding his hands over her body. She made little noises of pleasure and obligingly turned around so he could get her back side. Her face went cherry red when he ran his hands over her bottom and made an admiring sound. She spun and slapped him on the chest. His laughter filled the bathroom.

She poured the flowery smelling soap into her hands and smiled up at him with mischief in her eyes. He rolled his eyes but didn't stop her from smearing it across his chest until she became absorbed in the feel of his skin. Her finger trailed over his front down his legs and when he turned she did the same with his back until he was unbearable aroused again. She grinned and washed herself off before stepping out of the shower to leave him growling.

She was drying off in the bedroom when he shoved her to the bed and held her wrist above her hands. There was a darker look in his eyes, hunger was the only word she could think to call it and couldn't think of anything when he took her breast into her mouth without mercy. She cried and arched against him yielding to the darker passion he was showing her. She wriggled her hands free and used them to grab a fistful of his hair and claw at his back. He thrust into her in the same way and she eagerly matched him.

He lifted her off her back so he was kneeling on the bed with her wrapped around him; torso to torso her eyes opened and looked at him, their eyes locked and her shot her up. She flew off the crest with her head thrown back and he followed burying his face in her soft neck and emptied into her.

Another fifteen minutes later Himeno flew down the stairs laughing. "I want to celebrate more to but I have to go to work and then I have a doctors appointment at three, I'm already going to be late."

"Oh come on, skip work today and come see the property. You're going to love it. There enough room for a barn, horses, miles of fields and there even enough room for your Martial arts studio to be built." She paused with her hand on the door and he caught her around the waist. "Come with me." She sighed. "Oh you got me fine." She called in and apologized then Hayate and Himeno went out to his property, though he constantly said theirs. Himeno couldn't tell if it was conscious or not.

On the porch of the rustic house was a little table set up for two. "How did you know I'd come?" she asked running her fingers over the dishes, "Feeling." Hayate smiled and led her through the house. The kitchen was huge, all new appliances had been installed and the fridge was already stalked with food as well as the cabinets. The kitchen was connected to the huge dinning room and then moved onto the living room in a strait line so that if you were in the kitchen you could watch people sitting on the couch and visa versa. There was a bedroom/ office on the bottom level. The stairs were at the end of the hallway and came up in the middle of the up stairs level. There were four bedrooms, three bathrooms, including the one down stairs and the master bathroom. The attic didn't look like a friendly place at the moment though it could have been turned into a bedroom on its own. All the bedrooms had at least one bay window and a fabulous view of one of the fields surrounding the house.

"I thought," Hayate said, sitting with Himeno in a bay window in the master bedroom, "That we could build your studio just back there, so that people can reach it by the driveway and we can see it and the barn from here. What do you think of that?" Himeno laughed. "That's a wonderful idea but isn't it….?" She couldn't find the words.

He led her down stairs and they sat at the table. After they'd eaten the sandwiches he'd prepared he got up and kneeled in front of her pulling out a small box. Her heart all but stopped. "Before you say anything let me say something. I love you Himeno, I've waited my whole life to be with you. I was an idiot before and I'm sorry for that but I'm not now, I'm here now and so are you. I love you so much. I want to start a family with you. We're both grown up, we both have jobs that were good at, and we have a house. I want to be with you forever. Say yes."

Her eyes had filled and she chocked out, "yes." He opened the box and slipped a diamond ring onto her finger, "And when you are doing your Martial arts you can put it on this chain." He slipped a gold chain out of the box and put it around her neck, it would look good with the ring on it and without. "Hayate." It was the only thing she could say but she wrapped her arms around him, she was smiling so big she thought her face would split from it. "Yes." He smiled and kissed her.
