AN: With this chapter, the rating goes up. Forgive me, anyone underage who reads this, but... yeah. Let's just say Yugi isn't always as innocent as he seems ;)

Chapter 6

Mariah found that after the day's events, her body was more than ready for sleep by the time nine o'clock rolled around. Keeping true to her word to Yugi, she decided to head to sleep early and get a full, good night's rest. She curled up in Yugi's bed, knowing that he would join her at some point, and she was asleep before she even knew any time had passed. At some point during the night, she felt Yugi's arms go around her and hold her close, but other than that, she remained in a deep sleep throughout the night.

The next morning, Mariah woke up and once again found herself alone. She frowned and looked around the room. The bathroom was silent, so she knew Yugi couldn't be in there. With a soft sigh she looked at the clock. It read 10:03. Mariah's heart jolted. The shop was supposed to be open at nine! Why hadn't her alarm gone off? She shot up from the bed, not bothering to get dressed, and she headed for the door. When she reached it, however, and tried to walk out, she found that she was unable to pass through the doorway. She blinked, not understanding what was going on. It was as if the air in front of her had solidified into a barrier of sorts, keeping her inside the bedroom.

Her heart racing, she looked up at the ceiling, "YUGI!"

"You don't need to scream that loudly," An amused voice said from behind her. Mariah jumped slightly as she saw Atem sitting in the chair by Yugi's desk that had been vacant moments earlier. "What's wrong?"

"Why can't I get out of the room?" Mariah asked, her eyes narrowing suspiciously at Atem, who looked entirely too relaxed for her liking. "And where's Yugi? It's past ten! Shouldn't the shop be open by now?"

Atem's smirk appeared and instantly Mariah knew something was going on that she wasn't aware about, "Mana and I are going to run the shop today," He said, his tone cautious, as though he was waiting for an explosion. When Mariah simply arched an eyebrow at him, he went on, "Yugi and you both deserve a day off after what happened yesterday."

"So you lock me in Yugi's bedroom?" Mariah asked, her confusion growing slightly. "And how did you even do that?"

Atem's smirk returned as the Millennium Puzzle glowed and the all too familiar Millennuim mark appeared on his forehead, "You really have to ask? Yugi asked me to create a barrier that only someone wearing the Millennium Puzzle can pass through. It wasn't really hard for me to create."

Mariah sighed, "I wish I had Mana's powers so I could get out of here. What's the point in keeping me locked in here, anyway?"

"Because Yugi wasn't entirely sure that you'd agree to taking a day off."

"And I don't," Mariah said firmly. "I have to call the distributor to order more Duel Monster booster packs, I have to clean up that mess and call up a repair man to fix that damn display counter..." She pressed her fingers to her temples and sighed as Atem gave her a worried look, "I'm fine."

"Mariah, stop worrying," Atem said, getting up from the chair and walking over to her. "Mana and I know what needs to get done today. We'll get it all done and you and Yugi get the whole day to just stay in bed and do what you want. Is that really so bad?"

Mariah thought for a moment and sighed once again, rolling her eyes, "I guess not," She said at last. She smiled at Atem, "So where is Yugi?"

"He's downstairs cooking," Atem said with a nod. "He heard you scream bloody murder and asked me to come up here to calm you down so he could keep cooking."

Mariah smiled at Atem, "He better be careful; I might not let you and Mana go back to Egypt if this is how helpful you two are going to be around here."

Atem merely winked at Mariah before he vanished as the sound of footsteps reached Mariah's ears. Mariah turned to see Yugi walk in as though the barrier didn't exist, though his Millennium Puzzle glowed slightly as he did so. In hands there was a tray with a breakfast for two that smelled heavenly, and as her stomach growled, Mariah forgot her anger, for the time being.

"You're not going to kill me, are you?" Yugi asked, setting the tray on the desk before he looked guiltily at Mariah. Mariah frowned as she thought about that question for a moment. She was still responsible for him getting hurt the night before because she knocked into him. What right did she have to be angry at him?

"Of course not," Mariah said, sitting down on the bed. She smiled at Yugi and motioned for him to come join her on the bed. She wrapped her arms around him when he was close enough and she sighed contently, "I was just worried for a minute there when I couldn't get out of the room and you weren't here. I think everything with Tea has made me a little more jumpy than I normally am."

Yugi hugged Mariah back and kissed her forehead, "Which is exactly why I think you and I deserve a day off with nothing to do and no one to bother us," He said as he held her close for a few moments. "I made your favorite breakfast, by the way."

Mariah inhaled slowly once more and realized why her mouth was watering so badly, "Oh, Yugi, you didn't," She said with a soft moan as she took a closer look at the tray, "Chocolate chip pancakes? Really? God, you're so amazing..."

"I also brought these up," Yugi said, holding up several DVDs, a mix of both his and her favorite movies, "I figured we could watch some of our favorites, maybe play a few rounds of Super Smash Bros..."

"Sounds amazing," Mariah said, and to her, it truly did. She felt like she was definitely going to enjoy a day off, even if she was just trapped in a room with Yugi. Even that would have it's perks.


After watching both The Lion King and Aladdin, both of their favorite Disney movies, Mariah was feeling more lazy than she could ever remember feeling. She was curled up against Yugi, her head down on his chest, while his fingers played with her hair, "I swear, I'm not much of a romantic, but there's just something about Aladdin..." Mariah groaned softly as she reluctantly sat up, her muscles needing a good stretch. "I always feel all mushy inside after I watch it."

"I didn't know that you actually can get mushy," Yugi teased, pulling lightly on Mariah's hair, "Come back here. I was comfortable."

Mariah stuck her tongue out at Yugi, "So was I. But I think I want to go shower. Especially after laying in bed for a good four hours or so while watching Disney movies." She leaned over and kissed Yugi softly, "I promise, I'll make it a quick shower and then you can cuddle with me all you want."

Yugi watched as Mariah left to go take her shower. He decided that while she showered, he was going to go find them something to snack on. He walked into the silent kitchen, knowing that Mana and Atem were down in the shop working. He went to the fridge, hoping to find some water, but what he found there got an amused look out of him. There was a small bowl filled with chocolate covered strawberries. Yugi was more than a little certain that those hadn't been there earlier. He took the bowl out, along with two water bottles, and noticed a small note attached to the fridge with a magnet.

Enjoy! Love, Mana

Yugi smiled and made a mental note to thank Mana when he next saw her. He returned to the bedroom, his puzzle once again glowing as he walked through the invisible barrier and closed the door behind him. He put the strawberries and water down on the desk and settled on the bed to wait for Mariah to come out of the shower. He flicked through the television channels lazily, not really interested in what was on though. He just wanted to go back to watching movies with Mariah. He looked to the small pile of DVDs on the floor. Next on the pile was Mean Girls. Yugi knew it to be one of Mariah's favorite movies, and he even found himself enjoying it for the hilarity of it. He reached down to pick it up, deciding to get it ready for when Mariah came out of the shower, and as he placed it in the DVD player, he heard the bathroom door open.

"What are we watching next?" Mariah asked as she walked back into the room, moving her fingers through her curtain of wet hair. Yugi held up the case as he closed the DVD player and Mariah grinned, "Excellent."

Yugi turned around and his face burned slightly as he realized Mariah was walking around in only her fluffy bath robe, "M-Mariah?"

Mariah arched a brow as a playful smirk appeared on her face as she took a bite of a chocolate covered strawberry, "Oh, please, Yugi, don't act like you haven't seen me in less than this. All of a sudden you're shy?"

Yugi's expression relaxed as the initial shock wore off and he shook his head, "No, it's not that... you just look... beautiful."

A smile came to Mariah's face, "You don't look so bad yourself, my Yugi," She said with a wink. She sat back down on the bed, more than ready to spend some more time with the man she loved. "Come on, let's watch the movie and munch on these," She said, holding up the bowl. "Where did these come from, anyway?"

"Courtesy of Mana," Yugi said as he joined Mariah on the bed, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close, balancing the bowl of strawberries between them as he pressed the play button on the remote. As the movie started and he held Mariah close, however, he became less interested in the movie as he inhaled the vanilla scent of Mariah's body wash. He inhaled slowly through his nose and her scent filled his lungs. He leaned down and nuzzled her cheek, continuing to breathe in the sweet scent, before he kissed her there.

Mariah had sensed the shift in Yugi's emotions and her own heart started to race slightly. She bit down on her lower lip and tilted her head slightly to the side, giving Yugi access to her neck, access, which he immediately took advantage of, kissing and nipping her there. A soft moan escaped her lips and she clawed gently at the bedsheets before she suddenly shifted. She moved so that she was straddling Yugi's lap, moving the bowl of strawberries back over to the desk. She gave Yugi a mischievous look, biting down on her lower lip once again, "Want something?"

Yugi gave her a look over, her bathrobe seeming to tease him with how low it went, before he nodded once. Mariah's eyes narrowed challengingly as she moved her fingers through Yugi's hair, "Well, then I suggest you act like the man you are, and take it," She said simply. She leaned forward ever so slightly and as Yugi inhaled her scent once more, he pulled her to him, kissing her deeply. His tongue glided along her lower lip before she parted her lips for him with a soft moan. His tongue met her's, and it was then that he knew Mariah wasn't just going to give in easily, their tongues battling for control.

(AN: Mature content starts here.)

Yugi growled softly as they parted, both of their breathing ragged. He pulled Mariah's hair gently before he flipped their positions, Mariah now under him. Mariah wasn't going to give up control that easily though. She pulled Yugi back down to her, kissing him deeply once again. She tasted Yugi once more as their tongues met, and she felt a pleasurable heat start to spread through her body.

"Yugi," She breathed softly against his lips, her heart racing against her ribcage. Her cheeks flushed and she moved ever so slightly to pull Yugi's shirt up over his head, her lips almost immediately latching onto his neck, kissing and nipping him gently. As she bit down gently over his pulse point, a soft hiss escaped Yugi's lips, and she knew she was done for.

"You little tease," Yugi hissed at her as she started to kiss along his collarbone. If there is anything that this woman knows how to do, it's how to drive me up the freaking wall... He thought as a soft moan escaped his lips. He pulled on the knot of Mariah's bathrobe and let the fluffy fabric fall away. The sight of Mariah's bare body sent a feeling of want and need through him that he had only ever experienced with her before. He reluctantly pulled away from her slightly, only so he could move closer and tend to her.

Yugi kissed Mariah softly before he started a trail of kisses down along Mariah's jawline, down her neck, to her collarbone, where he suckled softly, leaving Mariah with a mark, "Now who's teasing?" She asked, her hands clawing gently at his back. Yugi merely smirked up at her as he continued his venture down Mariah's chest. He'd been with Mariah long enough to know just where she liked to be touched, where she liked to be kissed, and how she liked those touches and kisses.

"Yugi," Mariah moaned softly as he headed down along her chest, her body arching slightly to his. Yugi inhaled the sweet vanilla scent that covered her skin once more before a hunger of sorts arose within him. He needed Mariah at that moment, but he wasn't going to rush through making her feel good. A soft cry escaped Mariah's lips as Yugi started to swirl his tongue around one of her nipples, his hand groping the other. She clawed at the sheets as her heart hammered against her ribcage. As Yugi started to suckle her, another cry slid through her lips as her own desire grew. "Oh, god," She moaned softly.

"Not quite," Yugi said with another smirk. "Though, they have called me the King of Games..."

"I'm pretty sure they didn't mean these type of games!" Mariah shot back, her heart continuing to hammer against her ribs. "Please, Yugi... stop the teasing..."

She reached out and rubbed at the front of Yugi's jeans as she pulled him down to her. She kissed him softly, her tongue exploring his mouth as she slid his belt off with one hand, her other hand playing with his hair. Once his belt was off, she slid her hand beneath his boxers, finding the one thing she sought at that moment with ease. She closed her hand around him, starting to stroke him softly, a moan traveling from his lips to hers as she did so. Mariah continued to kiss Yugi as she felt him harden in her hand, her motions starting to speed up ever so slightly. After being with Yugi for almost 7 months, she too knew just how he liked to be treated.

When Yugi finally pulled away from her, Mariah frowned. She had been enjoying kissing him, but as she watched Yugi remove his pants and his boxers, leaving him as bare as she was, her eyes widened ever so slightly before they glazed over with lust. As Yugi positioned himself between her legs, Mariah smirked, biting down on her lower lip, "Show me what you've got, King of Games," She challenged.

Yugi growled softly at Mariah's teasing, but as he thrust into her, the sound of pleasure that escaped her lips was very satisfying. The two started to move together as Yugi buried himself inside Mariah, soft moans and sounds of pleasure sarting to fill the room. While they didn't often act on their more passionate feelings, when they did, it was amazing to both of them.

"Yugi, more please," Mariah pleaded with him as she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer. Yugi obliged, starting to thrust into her at a more rapid pace, her body arching up against his.

"Mmm, my Mariah," Yugi moaned as he sought his release, the pleasurable feelings building up inside of him, and the sight of Mariah below him, just added to those feelings. "God... so beautiful," He said in a soft voice as he leaned down to kiss her.

Mariah moaned softly against his lips as she moved in sync with him, her muscles all tightening, wanting only one thing. Her eyes rolled back as she arched against him a bit more, her end near, "Yugi," She said, his name the one thing on her mind as she felt her body overtaken by the pleasure. She held him close as she rode out the waves of pleasure that suddenly crashed down on her, another cry of his name escaping her lips.

Within moments, Yugi's own body trembled hard against Mariah's, until he finally couldn't last any longer. With a cry of his love's name, he came deep inside her, his heart thundering against his ribs, his breathing ragged, "Mariah..." He moaned softly as he slid out of her, collapsing beside her.

Mariah almost instantly curled up against him, her own heart finally slowing, her breathing still rapid. She put her head down on his chest and sighed contently, "My Yugi..." She looked up into the amethyst eyes of the man that she loved and she kissed his cheek softly, "Remind me to thank Atem for locking me in here later," She said with a wink as she started to doze off.

Yugi pulled the blanket over them both and smiled to himself, I'll have to thank him too, He thought as he idly played with Mariah's hair, watching her as she rested. It wasn't long before he joined her in that rest, his arms holding her close.


AN: From Disney movies to... yeah XD I hope that wasn't too horrible. Let's just say my Yami side came out a bit and she wanted something more interesting to read. Anyway, in the next chapter, I promise to tone it down a bit. (I just hope I didn't lose myself too many readers ^^;)
