AN: Rewriting this chapter because honestly you guys saw how much the previous one sucked... I hope this will be better one. Let me know, thank you...
Chapter 9.
Morning light seeped inside the dark room. Sun had risen and new day was to begin. Two figures were laying on the futon. Slight snoring could be heard from one of them. The other figure rose to sit and a slight smile crept to the man´s face. He watched his companion's tattooed face.
Everything was finally as it should be. It was a good reason to finally smile. To smile a real smile.
Byakuya looked at his spouse. He was extremely happy. Yes, a good reason to smile indeed. Byakuya kissed slightly the man next to him, rousing the other from his loud slumber. Brown eyes opened to meet the coal colored one´s.
Renji sat up immediately and bowed his head. He was shocked to see Byakuya still in their bedroom. It felt strange and Renji did not really know what to think of it. Had he done something wrong and Byakuya was here just to punish him. It had become a custom that Byakuya would rise immediately upon awakening and bathe and then go to work. Renji himself would wake up later and work in the mansion.
Byakuya only smiled and this made Renji only more nervous. Something was definitely going on. Byakuya did smile occasionally but that smile was nothing like this one. Byakuya´s smiles were always an indication that he was going to do something wicked, but this one was warm. It looked like a loving one. Renji licked his lips and waited for Byakuya to tell him what was going on.
Byakuya kissed Renji again, this time it was a tender and a loving kiss. It made Renji tingle a little and lean back to this. Byakuya wowed his hands on Renji hair and pulled a little. He still wanted to be in control. And Byakuya knew Renji would like it. He knew Renji loved it. They kissed for a long time and when it ended Renji´s eyes stayed lust filled. Byakuya simply smiled and rose from the bed.
"You have to wait until the evening and we may continue. You know yourself that the way you behave will earn you rewards. And as well as you know it is my eternal affection you desire."
Renji nodded. As sick as it sounded Renji knew himself. He wanted nothing more that these kisses to continue and those wicked hands doing the unthinkable. He wanted Byakuya to love him.
"You do know that I am not a man to show emotions, but I want you to know that you make me very happy Renji. I have decided that you may come and visit the division. However you know the conditions don´t you?"
"Yes, I´m to be close to you. If needed to leave I have to ask your permission, no one is to touch me and stay away from Ichigo if these are even a slight change him coming nearby."
"Hmmph, must you call him by his first name? It irritates me. To think you still consider him as your friend. He wanted to take you away from me!"
The mood changed immediately. The tender moment of lovely feelings changed rapidly to sour one.
"Byakuya, I think him as a friend but I promise you that is all. It´s you I am with and You I am married to. Don´t do this. Please, I love you. Only you I promise."
"Make sure you keep away from him. I don´t want to hurt you from disobeying me that way. Now we have to start the day. We have leaving to the division in half an hour."
Renji simply followed orders. What else he could do.
The members of the sixth were happy as ever to meet their former lieutenant and be able to get his opinion on their training. Byakuya had been close by but no one had minded it. It was normal to see the two so tightly together. Renji had learned the skill to be shielded from the touches in polite way and it had kept Byakuya in happy mood. There was no reason to irritate the Captain of the sixth. And Renji did not want to feel the whip again. No matter how much he was sucker for commands and pain he did not want to feel it unnecessary. After meeting with Rikichi and other´s Byakuya offered lunch for them at the office. Renji sat quietly on the floor and pondered Byakuya´s reactions. The mood was nice and relaxed and Byakuya´s face had a small smile. Renji liked to see that small happy smile on his husband´s face. It changed soon however when Renji felt the reiatsu of Ichigo´s. Byakuya´s face was blank but Renji could feel that Byakuya´s was ready to send the blades of Senbonzakura thought to door of his office.
Ichigo barged to the office of the sixth. The orange haired teen looked at Byakuya not instantly noticing Renji´s presence.
"Byakuya, where is Renji? He´s not in the mansion. I have the right to talk to him you know. He is my friend."
"Kurosaki Ichigo, state your business here then. As you may see I am enjoying lunch with my spouse so he is here with me."
Ichigo then saw Renji and stepped in front of him. Ichigo bent down, kissed Renji on the mouth and then walked towards the door. Before leaving the premises of the sixth he said.
"You know, it was not just my hollow. I want him too. And if you keep treating Renji the way you are sooner or later he just might be fed from it and come to me. No matter how much he said he wants it. Married or not. So watch out Byakuya."
Renji felt his skin crawling. He knew was going to get it that evening. He had not been expecting Ichigo doing that.
The rest of the day went without incidents and they were able to retire to the mansion for the evening. Byakuya had just shut down, and did not react to Ichigo´s declaration in any way. It made Renji worried. Byakuya kept silent. That would have not seemed any different to anyone else, but to Renji the silence had been suffocating. He was afraid of the evening.
They dined silently enjoying the fine cooking done by the chef´s of the Kuchiki clan. Byakuya had not said much about Ichigo and Renji simply let it be and relaxed a bit. He followed Byakuya silently to their bedchamber ready to receive the punishment from his Lord. Renji removed his clothes immediately after entering the room and sat down waiting the first blow. However it never came. Instead of the whip he felt cold hands touching his neck.
"You don´t learn from the whip. How am I to make you learn that you belong to me? "
Renji kept silent. He did not know how to reply. The cold hands warped around his neck. Renji felt himself shivering, not from cold but from fear. Byakuya had never touched his neck like this. The hands warped tighter.
"I can´t let him have you, you are mine. Mine only." Hands were tighter around Renji´s neck, this time he felt hard to breath.
"Mine."
Renji´s world went black. What he didn't see was the sick smile on Byakuya´s face.
