Kenpachi Zaraki tilted his head up towards the sky as he walked. His stride slower than normal as his mind began to race with questions. All that time he had spent with Linake charting the skies of the soul society; all those questions he had asked himself were beginning to resurface. What did these assholes really want? Was it the humans? Was it something deeper than that? Kenpachi paused in the middle of the pathway, just staring up at the sky. It was well into the late morning now, a soft smudge of fluffy white clouds spread across the backdrop of light blue.

Things were different now, Kenpachi realized as he stared at the sky. Before Linake, he wouldn't have had a reason to ask so many questions, he would have just waited, itching to find an opponent strong enough to give him a good fight. Kenpachi snorted as he shook his head-Hell, I am itching...but now we've got more to think about. Kenpachi let out a sigh before lowering his head from the sky. As he continued to walk his mind went to his children. The soul society had more kids now than it had ever had in the past. He would have to make sure Linake and his children were with someone he could trust before he left to fight; and so would Kurotsuchi.

Kenpachi quickened his stride, closing the distance between him and his barracks. As he made it to the small wooden staircase Kenpachi caught sight of his Lieutenant out of the corner of his eye. Ikkaku sat on the porch to the main entrance, his head tilted up towards the sky.

" You heard?" Kenpachi called out to him, wondering if maybe Linake had confided what she knew.

Ikkaku turned his head, his lips parting before his brow furrowed and he met Kenpachi's gaze.

"Yeah...Linake told me." Ikkaku replied.

Kenpachi nodded; not really knowing what else to say about it.

"She inside?" Kenpachi asked.

"Yeah. She hasn't come out for hours..." Ikkaku answered; his features showing his concern for the woman who had become like a sister to him.

Kenpachi inhaled a deep breath before turning back to his quarters; he knew better than to think this was going to be easy. Linake wasn't the type of woman who always listened to orders, but she was more than just a member of his squad; she was his wife. Kenpachi climbed the small staircase and slid the pocket door open. The room filled with the light from the mid-morning sun as Kenpachi slipped his sandals off at the doorway before stepping fully inside and closing the door.

Linake lifted her head meeting Kenpachi's gaze. Kenpachi let out a sigh as he looked at her; realizing she had been sitting there for the past few hours waiting for him and by the looks of her she had done nothing but build the situation up in her mind. Her body was filled with tension, her eyes giving away her anxiety.

"Where are the kids?" Kenpachi asked her.

"Takeo is with Yumichika; he wanted to go shopping with him. You know how Yumichika is, always spoiling him. I'm sure he'll come back with a new toy or some candy." Linake sighed.

"Akio?" Kenpachi asked as he bent his frame low, going to his knees on the side of the futon.

"She's taking a nap. Fell back to sleep about twenty minutes ago." Linake answered, but didn't turn her head to look at him.

"You ain't even gonna look at me?" Kenpachi growled.

Linake turned her head, slipping her eyes closed; the last thing she wanted was to argue with Kenpachi.

"I'm sorry..." She whispered as she forced herself to meet his gaze.

Kenpachi stared down at her for a couple seconds before he spoke again.

"I'm gonna make sure you and the kids are safe, Linake. You won't have anything to worry about." Kenpachi tried to reassure her.

Linake let out a sarcastic snort before she shook her head.

"We will make sure our children are safe before we both leave." Linake countered.

Kenpachi's brow lifted, his uncovered eye widening slightly.

"Tch, you think I'm gonna let you go with me!?" Kenpachi retorted.

Linake narrowed her gaze at him, her brow furrowing with agitation.

"Now I need your permission to fight? Am I not a member of this squad?" Linake challenged.

"Goddamn it, Linake..." Kenpachi cursed, not liking where the conversation was about to head; the last thing he had wanted was to start a stupid argument.

"I am coming with you! I will fight..." Linake pressed.

"Like hell you are! We don't even know what the hell we're walkin' into..." Kenpachi growled.

" That's my point! You don't know! None of us know anything about them! My abilities might be of use!" Linake countered.

"We'll figure it out on our own." Kenpachi snapped; reaching his hand out and snatching Linake by the chin.

Linake's brow furrowed as she shook her head from his grip. Kenpachi let out a frustrated grunt as he watched the woman push herself up to her feet. Kenpachi tilted his head up as she stared down at him; in all the years they had been together he had never seen this side of her. Normally all he had to do was make his point and she would follow his lead-the fuck's gotten into her?

"I refuse to sit here and wait for you to come back, Kenpachi. I don't care if you don't like it; I don't care if it pisses you off, I am going to fight!" Linake stated.

" You ain't going anywhere near the human world, Linake!" Kenpachi growled.

Linake pivoted her body, her hands raising to rest on her thick hips, Kenpachi couldn't help but react to the way her body looked standing in such a proud position-she was challenging him and even though she was only seconds away from really pissing him off, she was also calling out to another part of him-she's fuckin' sexy when she get's all riled up.

"What are you going to do? You gonna lock me up and throw away the key? Go right ahead and try, I can get out of anything you tried to put me in, even if you took my Zanpakuto!" Linake grated.

Kenpachi let out a deep growl as he pushed himself up to his knees, reaching out and snaring Linake by her forearm and for the first time, she fought his touch. Linake pulled her arm from him, before turning her body away, giving him her back.

"You can't have it both ways, Kenpachi! You don't get to go out and fight while I sit here and wait...I need to know! I have to be with you!" Linake yelled.

Kenpachi paused; watching the woman's back as her shoulders squared.

" I ain't gonna die, Linake! You can stop with the theatrics." Kenpachi snapped; his agitation coming up to the surface.

Linake let out a huff of air as she shook her head-why can't he see things from my perspective!? Why does he have to be so fucking stubborn! Linake stomped over to the door, sliding her sandals onto her feet, her emotions playing havoc with her mind. All she wanted was to be able to fight at his side! Linake reached for the door, pulling it open.

"Get back here!" Kenpachi growled at her; but she ignored him.

"Linake!" Kenpachi yelled her name; causing cries to some from the back bedroom. Kenpachi cursed as Linake disappeared from his view, the sound of her rushed footsteps going down the stairs as she took off.

Kenpachi stood to his feet, turning his head to the sound of his daughter's cries. Kenpachi tossed the door to the hallway open and stepped into Akio's room. Leaning down he picked his little girl up and tucked her into the crook of his neck and shoulder. As he walked back out into the main room he gently ran his hand across her small back, giving his child comfort.

"Captain?"

Kenpachi turned, meeting Ikkaku's concerned gaze.

"Do me a favor, will ya?" Kenpachi asked.

"Alright..." Ikkaku replied.

"Linake's not thinkin' straight. She wants to fight with us." Kenpachi sighed as he walked over to the man he trusted more than any other.

Ikkaku nodded, already understanding what his captain was asking him as he reached his hands out. Kenpachi transferred Akio into Ikkaku's arms, pausing only to run his hand over her head as she stared up at him with wide blue eyes.

"It's alright, Captain. I'll look after her." Ikkaku assured him.

Kenpachi gave a curt nod before he took off in search of his over emotional wife.


Karina jerked, lifting her body upright on the small cot as the sound of the lock on the door echoed throughout the small space. Squinting her eyes she tried to see who it was coming into the room.

"Ah, it looks as if I have disturbed your rest..." Mayuri stated as he walked deeper into the room.

Karina adjusted her body, pushing herself farther back on the bed as the man's painted face came into clear view-god, he's creepy!

"Hmm. It appears your manners have not improved much since our last encounter." Mayuri sighed.

Karina tipped her head back, her brow lifting as she met the man's exotic gaze; never had she ever seen such eyes! It was as if they were searching her very soul.

"What do you want?" Karina asked; her voice coming out small, barley even a whisper.

"Is that really how you choose to greet someone? My. My..." Mayuri sighed as she shook his head.

Karina pushed herself into the wall as Mayuri walked closer to her.

"There is a matter we need to discuss, Ms. Reiko. Although I am afraid another more pressing matter has come up." Mayuri stated, only further confusing Karina.

"What do you mean? Is something happening?" Karina asked; her mind going back to how Linake had acted earlier that morning.

"Nothing that would a concern of yours..." Mayuri answered; making it clear he wasn't about to elaborate.

"Then why have you come?" Karina countered.

Mayuri tilted his head, his mouth lifting into a wide smile, revealing his teeth. Karina couldn't stifle the tremble that ran down her spine.

"I have decided to be generous to you, even with your lack of manners. It wouldn't be very nice of me to allow my newest test subject to starve." Mayuri teased her.

Karina felt her body react to his words; a flash of anger making her body flush. Her head was pounding, her stomach felt hollow from lack of food, and her nerves were beyond shot-what kind of game is he playing? Is the sodding prick just trying to tease me!?

" I didn't ask to be brought here! As far as my manners go, it should be obvious as to why I lack them! Why would I be civil to my kidnappers!?" Karina countered.

Mayuri found himself laughing; which only seemed to further aggravate the woman. While Mayuri could understand the woman's distress and a part of him in fact did find a bit of sympathy for the poor girl; he couldn't help but feel amused by her reactions. It was clear to Mayuri that Grimmjow was about to have his work cut out for him.

"Yes, well...one would think the notion of me not being responsible for your capture would count for something. I see now your opinions are bias. What one person does should only account for their character, not the character of those around them." Mayuri countered.

" So you think I am judging you too harshly? Are you mad!?" Karina retorted.

Mayuri shrugged his slim shoulders, the left side of his mouth lifting.

"That, my dear subject 6, would depend on who you are asking..." Mayuri answered honestly.

Karina let out a rush of breath, not liking the nickname he had given her, but she could tell when she was being baited-he wants me to get pissed and cause a scene; the bastard gets off on it!

" You said you came to give me food? Why is it that I don't see you holding anything?" Karina countered; deciding that it might be better to stem her anger a little.

If she said the wrong thing this man might actually decide to let her starve. There was something in his eyes when he looked at her; something she couldn't place. His words seemed so strange. Why would he speak of character? Was he trying to tell her he really didn't intend to harm her in his own way?

"I have taken the liberty of collecting you a decent meal. The matter of character will have to wait for another time. Mind you, I quite look forward to our next encounter." Mayuri smiled.

Karina stared up at him, her confusion apparent- does he have to sound so creepy!? And was this meal he spoke of invisible? Mayuri turned, giving her his back, making Karina roll her eyes in the process-He's taking the piss, he has to be! Karina allowed her body to relax as Mayuri stepped back out into the hallway. She half expected him to just shut the door on her; leaving her in the darkness.

Karina allowed her eyes to slip closed. The sound of footsteps coming into the room didn't even make her look up. She figured it was someone other than Mayuri bringing in the food he a promised her-makes sense that a man like him would make someone else carry it. Karina didn't open her eyes until the sound of the door shutting caught her off guard. Whoever had walked inside the room hadn't left...

Karina jerked her head up, trying to see who was in the room with her, but the light from the hallway was gone. She could hear the soft intake of someone else's breath and it make the hair on the back of her neck stand up-Mayuri Kurotsuchi, you bastard! Who the hell have you locked me in with!?

" Who's there!?" Karina demanded; not liking the way this situation had headed. For all she knew it was some strange soul reaper locked inside with her, and the thought made her skin crawl.

Karina turned her head as she felt the weight of something being placed on the cot beside her. Whoever it was stayed silent, making her head begin to pound even more from the racing of her heart.

"Answer me, damn it!" Karina demanded; her anger overriding her fear once more; whoever it was inside the room was about to see she wasn't in the mood for games!

Karina jerked her head towards the door as she heard heavy footsteps. At first she thought they might be about to leave the room, but she had clearly heard the door lock earlier. Karina let out grunt as the overhead light flipped on, filling the room with more light than she had been expecting. Squinting against the invasion, she tilted her head up, meeting a pair of intense blue eyes.

"G-Grimmjow!?" Karina breathed, not trusting what was clearly standing right in front of her.

The side of Grimmjow's lips lifted as he smirked down at her, but he didn't speak, for lack of what to say. A part of him felt embarrassed, which only pissed him off. His woman had saw him fail, and that left a sour taste in his mouth. Karina pushed herself up from the bed, rushing over to him. Grimmjow let a grunt pass his lips as he felt her shaking hands lift to his chest and press against the wound Mayuri had decided to heal.

"H-how? I saw it...I saw you fall!" Karina whispered; tipping her head back to look at him.

Grimmjow raised his arms, locking them around the woman's waist. Karina allowed her body to melt into him, raising her arms she hugged him closer to her.

" I ain't that fragile. Gonna take more than a stab wound to kill someone like me." Grimmjow boasted; trying to save what little bit of pride he had left.

Karina pulled away from him, meeting his gaze head on. Her brow furrowed as she took in his expression. Lowering her hands back to his chest she pushed into him hard, making the Espada take a step back.

"What took you so long!?" Karina snapped at him.

"Tch. You really gonna give me the third degree? I just took a blade for you, the least you could do is be grateful I'm here." Grimmjow snapped.

Karina took a step back, her eyes narrowing at the man's arrogance.

"Grateful? If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be in this mess!" Karina yelled back.

Grimmjow snorted at her right before he laughed.

"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be alive right now, sweetheart." Grimmjow countered.

Karina shook her head at him; knowing he had a point didn't seem to ease her agitated state. The past few days had been nothing more than an emotional roller-coaster, but she was happy to see he had actually survived.

" I know that..." Karina sighed, allowing her body to deflate. In truth, Grimmjow wasn't who she was really mad at.

"You're really pissed at me for letting myself heal before I tried to find you?" Grimmjow asked.

Karina lifted her head, meeting his gaze.

"No. Honestly, I'm happy that you even decided to come at all." Karina admitted.

Grimmjow took another step back from her, not sure he really liked the sensation that had just filled him. Somehow, the woman was making him feel things...things he'd never dealt with before.

"You look like shit...you should eat." Grimmjow stated, wanting to shift the emotions in the room a little.

Karina half-laughed.

" Gee, sorry I couldn't manage to find the time to freshen up for you..." Karina snapped at him sarcastically.

Grimmjow reached his hand out, snatching the woman by the chin. Karina's breath hitched as Grimmjow lowered his face only inches away from hers. He was so close she could feel his breath drift across her lips.

" Don't push me, Karina." Grimmjow growled.

" I'm sorry. I guess both of us are not really at our best right now." She replied.

" I ain't got much time with you, I'd rather not spend it arguing about shit that doesn't matter." Grimmjow answered.

"What do you mean? A-are they going to take you away?" Karina asked.

"I've gotta help them with somethin' soon." He replied.

"Help them? After what they just did!? This doesn't make any sense!" Karina countered.

Grimmjow tightened his hold on her chin, forcing Karina to stop talking. Her brown eyes locked onto his, causing a sensation of warmth to run down Grimmjow's spine-She's okay...fuck, I'm glad to see that! Karina's breath rushed from her chest as Grimmjow covered her mouth with his, taking a kiss from her. Karina kissed back, savoring the way it felt-I thought I'd lost him! Karina raised her hands, wrapping them around the back of his neck, trying to pin him to her body. Grimmjow let out a low growl before he forced himself to pull back.

"Why did you stop?" Karina whispered.

"You need to eat, Karina. You've gotten too weak for me to fuck you right now." Grimmjow stated.

Karina blinked at him, not understanding what he meant-can he sense how I'm feeling? Grimmjow pivoted his body, reaching down he caught her under the knee with his left arm, sweeping her off of her feet and up into his arms. Karina held on by the back of his neck, her lips parting slightly as he walked her back over to the small cot.

"Your heart is racing and your blood pressure is high. I'm pretty sure your head feels like it's gonna pop." Grimmjow stated.

"How can you tell that?" Karina asked.

"Instincts. You're like prey to me right now." Grimmjow answered.

Karina felt her mouth go dry at his explanation; she knew he wasn't human, but to hear him speak as if he were some kind of animal made her mind begin to race. The earlier conversation she had shared with Linake coming back to the surface-He was a hollow once...

Grimmjow let out a sigh as he lowered her down onto the small cot. Karina allowed her arms to fall from his neck before pushing herself up into a sitting position. Grimmjow bent down on his haunches, reaching out, he slid the silver tray of food closer to her. Karina didn't know what to think, or how to act in the moment; seeing a man like Grimmjow; an Espada, acting like this for her...a simple human.

Grimmjow lifted a chunk of what looked like steamed fish and lifted it to her plump lips. Karina followed his lead, opening for him to feed her; the act more intimate than she ever could have imagined. Grimmjow smirked as he watched her eat, enjoying the way her eyes had darkened, her pupils dilating, letting him know he was turning her on.

"Eat it all and I'll let you have me for dessert." Grimmjow teased her.


Linake kicked at the rocks as she made her way down the first pathway she could find; the pathway that would lead her straight into the 80th district if he kept going in the same direction. It wasn't like she couldn't defend herself! What did she have to do to prove that? All this time, all these years of Kenpachi trying to build her up, just to deny her when it really counted!?

"It's bullshit!" Linake spat as she kicked at another rock.

Pausing on the pathway she lifted her hand to her forehead; allowing her tears to fall freely now that she was alone. Linake hadn't wanted to cry in front of her children or Kenpachi for that matter. Linake knew Kenpachi hated seeing her cry; he would never admit it out loud, but it hurt him to see her upset-this shouldn't be tearing us apart! This should be bringing us closer!

Linake let out a sigh as a wave of guilt crashed over her; she had heard her daughter begin to cry as she had ran off, in the moment she knew Kenpachi wouldn't leave their daughter in distress and she'd used it to run away...like a coward. Linake stomped her foot in the dirt, knowing she looked like nothing more than a child having a temper tantrum, but her chest was pulled so tight she felt like she could barely breath-I can't lose him!

"Linake." Kenpachi's deep voice called out to her as he gripped her shoulder with his hand.

Linake held her breath, cursing internally. She hadn't expected Kenpachi to find her so soon! Lifting her hands to her face, she wiped her tears clean before turning to face him. Kenpachi let out a sigh as he cupped the back of her neck in his right hand and tried to pull her into his chest. Something he did when she was upset, he would never speak, he always just held her. Linake lifted her hands, pressing against his chest, preventing him from holding her; her anger beyond anything she had ever felt in the past.

" Fine, have it your way!" Kenpachi growled at her right before leaning down and wrapping his long arm around her thighs.

Linake let out a grunt as Kenpachi hauled her up over his right shoulder; his own frustration getting the better of him-if she wanted to act like a baby, he would treat her like one.

"Put me down!" Linake yelled.

"No." Kenpachi replied simply; turning around on the pathway and heading back in the direction of their home.

Linake reached her hand down, pinching his left ass cheek hard, knowing it was more than childish. Kenpachi let out a growl right before lifting his hand and smacking his wife's ass with more bite then he'd ever done in the past. Linake growled at him as she began to squirm on his shoulder, not even caring if she fell in the process.

"Knock it off! All you're doin' is embarrassin' yourself!" Kenpachi yelled at her.

" No, you're embarrassing me! Putting me over your shoulder like I'm some weakling!" Linake countered.

" You really want down, you'll figure out a way to get down." Kenpachi challenged her.

Linake gritted her teeth; knowing very well what he was doing, he knew she would never use her abilities to really hurt him.

"Why don't you believe in me anymore?" Linake asked him, causing Kenpachi to come to a standstill.

"What!?" He snapped.

"Why did you spend five years building me up, just to tear me down now?" Linake continued.

Kenpachi shook his head, slipping his eye closed as he heard the raw emotion in her voice.

"You really think I don't believe you can fight? I've seen it, Linake. You're the mother of my kids, I don't want you gettin' hurt." Kenpachi admitted.

Linake allowed the tension in her body to release, hanging over his shoulder like a rag doll. Kenpachi felt her body give and he leaned down, allowing her feet to touch the ground again. Linake reached out, grasping a hold of his captain's haori with both of her hands and buried her face into his chest.

"You're the father of mine and I don't want you to get hurt either. Why can't we do this together? Why can't we be a team in this like we are with everything else?" Linake asked.

Kenpachi let out a sigh as he heard his wife's muffled words and even though it went against his better judgement, he realized he couldn't keep denying her.

"Is that really what you want, woman? To fight by my side?" Kenpachi asked.

Linake lifted her head, meeting Kenpachi's gaze.

"That's all I'll ever want; to be by your side no matter what's happening." Linake answered.

"I could heal you if I needed to, Kenpachi." Linake added.

Kenpachi let out a snort, knowing she was right didn't make him feel any better about it.

"If I do this, Linake, you have to listen to me. If I have to go Bankai-" Kenpachi began.

"Then I will get out of the way! But I won't abandon you!" Linake cut him off, not about to make a promise she knew she would not keep.

"You're a fuckin' headache sometimes, you know that, right?" Kenpachi glared down at her.

"And you're a stubborn jackass, but that doesn't mean I don't love you." Linake countered.

"All this fussin' over fightin' when we could have been havin' some fun." Kenpachi grinned down at her.

Linake snorted at him, her emotions still a little too raw for him to be bringing up sex now. Kenpachi leaned down, taking her thighs in his hands and lifting her. Linake didn't have the heart to deny him again, knowing he needed her to kiss him right now. Linake took his lips hard, letting him feel her emotions in her kiss. Kenpachi lifted his right hand, taking a fist full of her hair as he slipped his tongue passed her lips. Linake lifted both of her hands, sinking them into his hair in return, needing the man to understand; needing him to agree!

Kenpachi kept kissing her, standing there in the middle of the pathway, lost within her taste. The woman drove him nuts sometimes, but he couldn't take away her chance to be at his side no matter how much it scared him. Linake was strong and she deserved to fight if that was her choice. Kenpachi let out a grunt right before he pulled back; his heavy breath brushing across her damp lips.

"You better stay by my side, woman." Kenpachi caved; giving her what she wanted.

Linake nodded her head to him as her lips lifted, giving him a soft smile. Kenpachi could tell she was still upset; knowing well enough a woman's emotions couldn't just turn on and off, but he wanted his wife back.

"I've missed the hell outta this, you know that?" Kenpachi admitted as he sunk his head between her neck and shoulder, pressing his lips against her soft skin. Linake allowed her eyes to close as her body reacted to his kiss. Kenpachi kept kissing, dragging his lips across the silver chain of the necklace he'd given her on their wedding day. Kenpachi sunk even lower, kissing the hollow of her throat as Linake tipped her head back.

"I've already given you everythin' I've got, Linake." Kenpachi whispered to her as he nudged the small black onyx pendant that hung from the chain.

Linake sucked in a breath, running her hands through his hair as she caught his meaning; Kenpachi would never be the type of man to tell her outright that he'd given her his heart; but only a fool wouldn't have already known it was true.


Grimmjow turned his head as Karina pushed the silver tray away from her, somehow, she had managed to finish the meal even with Grimmjow watching her with feral eyes. Karina wasn't so foolish to think that Grimmjow wouldn't pounce the minute she took the final bite. As if on que to her inner thoughts, Grimmjow leaned in closer.

"Let's go." Grimmjow demanded her, reaching out for her arms and pulling her up from the cot.

Karina's brow lifted, confused for the briefest moment until Grimmjow led her into the bathroom. Karina realized then that she hadn't had a decent shower since she'd left for class-no wonder I feel so horrible! Karina stepped inside the space and turned, eyeing the wooden tub that sat to the side. She had thought about taking a bath earlier, but hadn't had enough energy.

The sound of the door sliding shut, made Karina turn to look back at Grimmjow. His gaze moved, taking her in once more, making her breath hitch slightly. The memory how it had been in her small flat coming back to the surface; would he be that intense with her again?

"Strip for me." Grimmjow ordered her as he leaned back against the wall; wanting to see just how far she would go for him.

Karina turned her body away from him, his request meant to be something erotic had somehow managed to come across as a bit cold after what she'd been put through-I guess he's not the romantic type. Instead of complying with his demand automatically, Karina decided to pretend he wasn't there. Walking over to the large wooden tub she leaned down, making sure it was plugged before turning on the taps and feeling for the temperature.

Karina stood, leaning down she pulled the socks from each of her feet and tossed them down before removing her pants. Grimmjow didn't speak or move from the wall, but she could feel his gaze searching her. A whisper of heat scolding her upper thighs; only to move up as she pulled the turtleneck over her head. Karina squeezed her thighs together, already feeling the dull ache of arousal, just knowing Grimmjow was watching her with such hungry eyes couldn't be totally ignored.

Reaching her hands behind her back, she unclasped her bra, allowing her heavy breasts to fall forward. Karina heard Grimmjow's growl as she turned away from him, refusing to give him a full view so soon. He had been the one wanting to play with her like this; he could use a dose of his own medicine. Grimmjow still didn't move from his spot. Karina wondered if maybe this was more of a test of his will; was he using this to see just how long he could go without touching her?

The thought made Karina smile as her mind went to a mischievous place. Karina slid her panties from her thick thighs, allowing them to fall, she kicked them over to the pile of her clothing before walking over to the filling tub. She lifted her right leg over the side, purposely giving him a nice view of her ass and the back view of her essence in the process.

Grimmjow took a step forward when seeing her naked body perched over the wood, but stilled when she slid down into the steaming water. He clenched his hands as he watched her turn to face him, the tops of her breasts peeking above the water. Karina leaned forward, turning off the tap and meeting his gaze. At first he thought she was waiting for him to give her more instructions, but then she slid her body down hiding her curves from him completely-Tch, bet she thinks she's being cute!

"If you'd like a better a view of me, you'll have to move closer." Karina teased him.

Grimmjow let out a sigh; shaking his head he took enough steps forward in order to see her through the water. Grimmjow stilled, his breath getting caught as he took in his fill. He had already fucked her once, had his mouth on almost every part of her, but even still, the sight of her body made his hackles rise-fuck, I'm never gonna get enough of her!

"Do you normally leave your glasses on when you bathe?" Grimmjow asked; deciding to tease her a little.

Karina lifted her hand to the black frames, pulling them from her face and leaning forward in the water.

"Would you mind setting them on the counter for me?" She asked with a smile.

"Tch..." Grimmjow snorted; realizing in that moment this woman could play with the best of them. I wouldn't matter how much he tried to tease her, she would just come back with something else, raising the stakes of the game-she was fun, and it pissed him off a little.

"No?" Karina continued when Grimmjow didn't move forward.

"No worries then, I can just set them here." Karina replied shrugging her shoulders.

Grimmjow watched her breasts lift with the motion. Karina sat her glasses down on the side of the tub before sliding her body down in the water. Grimmjow's brow furrowed as she submerged herself completely, allowing her head to sink. When she broke the surface Grimmjow couldn't help but grunt. Her soft hair darkened to a deeper shade of purple in the front.

Karina lifted her hands, wiping the water from her eyes before leaning back against the wood. The heat from the water felt incredible against her skin; she hadn't even realized how worn out she really had been. Now that her stomach was full and her body was soaking, she felt as if her mind had cleared from the haze of events.

"I'm about to get pretty boring if all you plan to do is watch me." Karina informed him.

" I doubt that. I could watch you all night." Grimmjow countered; closing his eyes as he realized he'd spoken his thoughts out loud.

Karina smiled; not even bothering to look up at him. If watching her was what he wanted, she wasn't about to ruin his version of fun-Maybe he's the visual type? Likes to watch? Karina let out a sigh as she reached her hand up taking a small glass bottle in her palm. It was filled with a light pink liquid Karina could only assume was soap. Pulling the small cork from the top she lifted it to her nose. The scent of Sakura wafted, making her close her eyes. She'd never smelled something so good!

Grimmjow kept his gaze on her, watching her every move. The way her hand held the bottle, how her eyes slipped closed when the scent had been appealing to her. He was lost in her beauty, in the way she carried herself; still he couldn't place the reason-I guess I just like her, maybe there is no reason. Grimmjow stepped closer, wanting to get a better look of her.

Karina tilted her head back, meeting his gaze as she lathered her hair with the soap, filling the room with scent. Grimmjow took in a deep breath, loving the way the soap mixed with her own personal musk; it was as if Sakura were made for her.

"Are you getting even more curious?" Karina teased him; knowing well enough that he was.

Her gaze slid down his body, taking him in, the bulge between his legs was enough of a giveaway; he was aroused by just watching her bathe. Grimmjow let out a sigh as Karina slid back down into the water to rinse the soap from her hair. She stayed down longer, making sure it washed clean. When she came back to the surface Grimmjow was at the edge of the bathtub, still fully clothed, his hands clenched at his sides.

Karina let out a deep breath through parted lips; seeing his reaction to her only making her own arousal pool between her legs, her core preparing for him. Karina pushed herself up to her knees, giving him a full view of her breasts. Grimmjow's lips lifted, showing her he liked that. Her nipples grew tight under his inspection, a reaction she had never had with any other man. Just his gaze was igniting her body from the inside out.

"Keep going!" Grimmjow demanded her; taking a seat on the edge of the bathtub.

"Are you going to join me at some point?" Karina asked; feeling a bit impatient. She wanted his hands on her; for him to be the one who bathed her.

Grimmjow lifted his head, no longer staring at her perfect tits, but meeting her dark eyes. Grimmjow couldn't help but laugh. In her gaze he could see just how much she needed him-guess I'm not the only one who feels like this. Fuck it. Ain't no sense in trying to figure this out anymore. Grimmjow leaned down, pulling the boots from his feet, then the socks.

Karina waited for him as he stood and pulled both his jacket and v-neck from his muscled chest, Karina's gaze moved over the hole without so much as a second thought; she didn't care that he was an Espada. If anything she felt a bit humbled by the fact a being such as him found her attractive in the first place. Karina licked her lips as his pants fell to the floor, giving her a stunning view of his thick erection. She hadn't been given the chance to explore him the first time and now she felt the need to make up for it.

"You wanna taste me?" Grimmjow teased, bucking his hips forward.

Karina nodded her head, making his cock jerk at her admission.

"I'll let you later." Grimmjow growled as he climbed over the side of the tub. The water level rose, almost coming over the edge, but neither of them could be bothered by it.

Grimmjow snaked his arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms. Karina let out a moan as his mouth crashed over hers. Her lips parted in pure invitation, the need to be taken by him almost overwhelming. Grimmjow slid his tongue between her lips and she sucked him deeper making him grunt into the heat of her mouth. Karina teased him by treating his tongue the way she wanted to treat his cock. Making him forget about the fact he'd wanted to watch her bathe.

Karina's moans encouraged him as his hands lifted, cupping her breasts roughly, her pebbled nipples teasing the rough skin of his palms. Karina lowered her right hand, taking his cock into her grip, she stroked him lightly. Grimmjow tipped his head back, his eyes rolling as the sensation of her play. Never had he ever felt so much pleasure by just being jerked off.

"What the fuck..." Grimmjow whispered, meeting her gaze.

"Does it really feel that good?" Karina asked.

"Fuck, yes!" Grimmjow grunted, bucking his hips into her fist.

"Fuck, Karina! I can't wait!" Grimmjow growled; reaching his hand down and grabbing her wrist.

Karina gasped excitedly as she felt him grip her by the hips lifting her up directly onto his lap. Karina locked onto his gaze as the head of his cock found her entrance. His need for her was too much, almost painful. Grimmjow stilled, closing his eyes as the thought of her not being ready enough came to him.

"What's wrong?" Karina whispered to him, his grip on her hips tightening, hovering her core over his crown.

"You ready?" Grimmjow forced the words forward, his voice almost breaking from the strain of holding back.

"Yes!" Karina panted, wrapping her arms around his neck, taking handfuls of his blue hair before she rocked her hips.

Grimmjow let her move, lifting his hands from her hips back to her breasts, rolling his palms over the heavy mounds as she lowered herself down his cock.

"Fuck!" Grimmjow grunted as he felt her core stretch over his length.

"Oh, yes!" Karina moaned for him as he filled her.

Grimmjow bucked his hips, surging his cock forward, only to pull back and then up again.

"Ugh! Ohh, Yes!" Karina whimpered for him as he took her.

Karina lowered her hands, taking his shoulders into her grip only to use them as leverage. Grimmjow grunted as the woman started to take control of the movement, speeding him up to her own liking. Karina bounced atop his lap, her heavy moans calling out to him. Grimmjow took her hair in his left hand, pulling back roughly making her head tip back.

"Ah! Oh! Fuck!" Karina panted, enjoying his rough play.

"Fuck me, Karina! Take my cock!" Grimmjow encouraged her, his mind only focused on the pleasure the woman was giving him. Each breath he took coming out raged.

Karina held onto him as she obeyed his command, lifting her core up and down his throbbing shaft, each rise and fall making her toes curl from the pleasure. She'd never had a man fill her as fully as Grimmjow, the sensations felt electric, a sizzling heat searing across every nerve she had, promising to make her soar. Karina felt as if she were already on the brink of release; her greedy core squeezing him, taking him without mercy.

Grimmjow tightened his hold on her hair, making the woman stare into his eyes as she fucked him, he needed it, to look into her eyes, to see the pleasure written across every feature. The blush of her skin, the darkening of her eyes as they grew heavy from pleasure. Her deep pants and rough moans singing him to his own release. A beautiful hell he never wanted to leave. She was his, his Queen.

Karina let out a gasp as Grimmjow changed his hold on her, allowing his hand to move from her hair, only to snare her by the throat. Pulling the woman closer to him be took her mouth with his, needing to taste her sweet lips, her poison. Karina groaned into his mouth as her body shook as if she were going to come at any minute, it was as if she were stuck, caught on the verge of an orgasm so intense she was begging her own body to tip, to go over the edge of no return. Grimmjow lowered his hand from her throat, seizing both of her hips in his harsh grip he stilled her hips, making her moan in protest as she caught his gaze.

"You come when I say you can." Grimmjow growled at her, making her body shudder; the man was unlike any she had ever known, wanting to lay claim on every aspect of her, even her orgasm belonged to him.

Grimmjow rocked his hips slowly, taking control of his woman's pleasure. Karina groaned as she felt his right hand lower, the tips of his fingers finding her swollen clit.

"Fuck! Yes! Please!" Karina begged him as her core began to twitch. Grimmjow slowed his pace even more, barely even moving inside her.

"Grimmjow!" Karina called to him, her eyes pleading for him to let her come.

Karina gripped his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin as her body tensed against him, the mind numbing waves of bliss washing over her as he pet her clit with his finger tips his thick shaft gliding into her tight heat inch by precious inch. Grimmjow smiled at her as he body began to tremble, he knew he was giving her more pleasure than she had ever known, just her reactions to his play told him she had never had a man edge her before, the temptation was too much to ignore.

Karina's breath rushed from her lungs as she tried to rock her hips faster along his cock, but his arm prevented her from moving, showing her how strong he really was, her body was reacting in a way she'd never known was possible. She hadn't even come yet, but she felt as if she was about too at any second, the deep seated ache within her spreading across her nerves, making her nipples tighten and her body tremble. Wave after wave of the most addicting pleasure coursing through her, making her head swim. Grimmjow moved his fingers to the side, massaging her clit a little differently as he allowed his hips to roll a little faster, giving her more of his cock.

"Fuck! Fuck! Yes!" Karina groaned as her head tipped back, her eyes rolling as the pressure grew and expanded even more, she could feel it, her core was about milk him, soon she would find that sweet release.

Grimmjow turned his head, nipping at the side of her neck before he laughed; he could tell she was enjoying it, loving every minute of his play. Karina felt the first spasm of her core against his cock, making her groan uncontrollably, just when she felt like she was about to release, Grimmjow stilled his fingers, making her eyes grow wide as he bucked his hips inside her even faster.

Karina's breath caught in her chest as her core pulled tight, so tight she didn't even know what separated her from him anymore. Her body was convulsing, the sensation of being caught within such sweet rapture without actually releasing was beyond anything she'd ever known. Grimmjow's rough laugh filled her ears, making her realize this had been his intention from the start, he was...edging her.

Karina let out another groan as he slowed his thrusts only to give her more of his fingers, Her body was so wound up, she couldn't even speak, her head was rushing as if she were high on the sweetest drug, and she knew in a way, she was...she was high on him...on Grimmjow.

"Tell me you want to come." Grimmjow whispered to her.

Karina grunted at him, making him chuckle even more.

"You're so wound up you can't even tell me, can ya?" Grimmjow teased her, dipping his head low to nibble on her neck, his sharp teeth making her seized muscles tremble even more.

Karina dug her nails into his shoulders even deeper, the sweet sting making his cock jerk inside her; he knew we wasn't going to last much longer, not with her beautiful core clenching him so tightly. Grimmjow gave in, allowing his cock to surge into her deep and fast while he played with her clit. Karina's moans echoed throughout the bathroom as he allowed her to meet his movements again. Karina used his shoulders to bounce herself on his cock, needing that final rush of ecstasy to make her see stars. Grimmjow let out a deep growl as the woman took him with such frenzy, he liked it, knowing that she would remember this, would crave for him to send her to such heights again.

"Grimmjow!" Karina whimpered as her core finally snapped, milking his shaft so deep he couldn't hold back his own seed.

Grimmjow let out a curse as she pulled his release from him so quickly, her core demanding that he spill for her. Grimmjow gritted his teeth as the woman kept riding him, her beautiful curves bouncing against his hard muscle as wave after wave, pulse after pulse assaulted her. Karina let out a deep moan as her body fell forward, every muscle she had pushed to it's limit. Grimmjow chuckled once more, lowering his lips to her ear as she laid her head on his shoulder. His voice came out deep and raspy, sending a shiver down her spine.

"That's how a King fucks his Queen."
