Chapter 10: He's a fixer upper

It had been two months since he and Orihime had slept together the first time and Shunsui was cooped up in his office all day, of course, doing paperwork. He'd decided to stop drinking for a while after his beating from Nanao all those weeks ago.

Looking out the window he could see the day was moving towards evening and sighed wistfully, "I wonder what Orihime-chan is doing?"

Snapping his eyes wide open he followed the question with another, "What the hell? Why am I thinking about her?" Scrubbing a hand down his face as he yawned before standing to stretch tired limbs. Looking at his desk he can see that despite all the work he's managed to do the stack of his inbox still towers over the one in his outbox. Chuckling he knows the only way to appease his cranky niece it to get it all done but he'd been sitting so long he decides to remain standing. Moving to the window he watched as a few soul reapers passed by until he noticed a certain auburn head.

Shunsui's eyes widened when he realized he was staring at Orihime pacing back and forth in front of the gates of his division. He could see her talking to herself and was just close enough for her sweet voice to carry on the wind to his ears, "I shouldn't be here. I should go. No! I need to talk to him. Get him to listen to me, to listen to my apology. What am I thinking?! He probably will think of me more like a child if he sees me pacing around. I'm such an idiot."

Smirking slightly he flash stepped outside his office to the gate, leaning on the threshold, arms crossed as he watched her back. "You know, if you continue to talk to yourself, people will assume you're as crazy as Mayuri."

Whirling around with a scream of surprise Orihime placed a hand to her chest, trying to get her heart beat back to a normal pace as she exclaimed, "Oh Kami! What are you doing here?"

Catching herself and realizing to anyone passing by she would be looking insubordinate she bowed low, "My apologies head captain. That was uncalled for. I just went out for a walk and I think I got turned around."

Shunsui smiled slightly, knowing full well why she was where she was but decided not to call her out on it. Holding out his arm he instead offered, "Then allow me escort you to your room at the tenth, Inoue-san."

Knowing better than to argue with him she accepted the proffered arm with a slight blush, though she couldn't stop herself from remarking, "I can walk myself ya know."

Nodding he patted her hand, "I know. I just feel like I should escort you. I mean, what kind of man would I be if I just let you wander around at night? Not all souls remain purified and I would prefer something not happen to you."

Orihime huffed slightly, "I am not without power ,sir. Plus, some would say you are of the same type you just described." Her free hand flew to her mouth at the callous words she'd just spoken but Shunsui merely laughed, "That may be, but then that means I know what I'm talking about. So humor me, alright?"

Deciding it better if her mouth stayed shut Orihime nodded acquiescence.

That resolve lasted as long as it took for them to reach the gates of the tenth where he stopped, relinquishing her arm from his hold. Looking up she quipped, "What just going to walk me to the gate and that is it? I mean, don't most gentlemen usually walk the woman to the door?"

Shaking his head at her cheekiness he relented, "Alright, to the door it is m'lady." A moment later she was caught up in his arm, flash stepping to her desired location. Setting her down before releasing his hold he grumbled, "Well I took you to the door, now what?"

Orihime laughed, surprised at his change in attitude, "Really? First, you call me "m'lady" and now you sound angry, what's wrong?"

Shunsui sighed, "Simple, we both know what we did was wrong, and more importantly, I shouldn't be here. If Rangiku saw us, then what?"

Orihime snorted, "If Rangiku saw us she'd tell me 'go get some', but you she'd threaten."

"Double standard, heh, typical," Shunsui replied snarkily.

Smiling at his indignation Orihime replied as she unlocked the door, "I wasn't going to maul you or anything. Just wanted to see if you wanted a cup of tea to counter the after affects. You're already sloshed aren't you?"

Shunsui followed her, shutting the door before stepping closer to her and gave a light smile."Not in the least."

Orihime grinned, "Nanao wouldn't let ya have any till you finished your work huh?"

Shunsui chuckled softly, stepping even closer, "Not even a drop."

Orihime can hear a voice somewhere in the back of her head screaming at her to move away, that this is a bad idea, but she feels as though an invisible rope is tugging her towards the man in front of her.

"You didn't even finish the paperwork did you?" She asks the question in an effort to pull her thoughts away from the intimate images already flooding her mind's eye.

Shunsui shook his head, "I finished most but not all of it."

The sound of his voice puts her right back into the wrong frame of mind. It doesn't seem to matter what he says, his voice drives her to a place of longing and need. The fact that he is also now cupping her face between his hands doesn't help the situation either.

Orihime leaned up slowly stopping only when her lips were a hair's breadth away from his. "You are setting a very bad example for the other captains."

She flinched slightly as Shunsui barely traced her lips with the tip of his tongue, his voice now thick with longing of his own, "Mmmhmm, maybe I should go."

Orihime whispers back, "Maybe you should." Her breath on his skin makes Shunsui tingle all over. Kami, this woman was addicting, more so that the best sake and he would know, he'd had it.

Moving his hand to the back of her head Shunsui admits, though he shouldn't, "But I want to stay."

Orihime, her hand now resting against his chest, feeling his racing heart warned, "Nanao will be very angry with you."

Shrugging slightly he admitted, "Wouldn't be the first time."

With that he was done denying himself what his body screamed for. He doesn't have to move far to close the gap between them, his lips meeting hers in a passionate, long kiss.

His mind is imploring him to stop, that she is too young and needs to be with someone more appropriate to her age; someone like Hirako-taicho, or even Kuchiki-taicho. He didn't doubt that the sweet woman in his arms could melt even an iceberg such as the captain of the sixth.

But just the thought of her with either of them, with any man, besides himself made him see red. A low growl of possession reverberated through his chest making him pull her more tightly to himself, relishing in the feel of her soft breasts against his chest, the warmth of her skin under his fingers. He needed more, more of this, more of her. His forward motion created a backwards in her as he guided her towards her bedroom.

Orihime broke the kiss to ask, "Don't you want tea?"

Looking down he wondered if she really had no clue what she does to him, or if she were just that innocent. The teasing look he finds tells him neither, she knows exactly what she's doing. Meeting the glint in her eyes he leaned back down brushing his lips against hers and keeping them close murmured, "I want you right now. Not tea. We can have tea later."

The light pecks he was giving as he spoke molded to a long sensuous kiss and he kissed her as is if his life depended on it. Kicking the bedroom door shut Shunsui pulled away enough to untie his belt as Orihime did the same to hers. His hat slipped off as well as his pink kimono. As he readied to drop his hakamas he was stopped by small delicate hands.

Wondering if she was having second thoughts, and not able to blame her if that were the case, the look she gave surprised him. Moving to her knees she brought down the hakamas with her. His breathing increased rapidly in response to her soft strokes of his very hard, very ready member.

His eyes went huge watching her, then flutter closed, a gasp escaping his lips when hers ends up around him, slowly drawing him into her mouth. As she pleasured him he couldn't think or speak, eyes staying shut as he enjoyed the sensations she created with her talented tongue.

Gripping the back of her head gently the pleasure became too much and he moaned out, "Orihime…mmm yes…"

The sound of her name in that tone, from this man, empowered Orihime more than she expected and she kept up her efforts to drive him higher until the grip on her hair tightened further and his hips rocked with her movements.

As much as he loved what she was doing to him Shunsui didn't want things to end there, so he pulled away. Orihime looked up thinking she'd done something wrong but was gratified by the flush to his cheeks, his breath still coming in short pants, all because of her.

Between his rapid inhale and exhale of oxygen he managed to asked, "Where on earth or in Soul Society did you learn to do that?"

Giggling Orihime replied, "Girls have locker rooms too, Shunsui-kun. Plus, Rangiku and I talk a lot so…"she trailed off, a slight hue to her own cheeks in light of the act she'd finally gotten the courage to try.

Shunsui's response was merely, "Ah ha now I understand. Rangiku."

Picking her up, he lay her on the futon, stripping her clothing away slowly and kissing every inch of her skin as it became exposed to his hungry eyes and mouth.

"Shunsui-kun," she moaned in response to him sucking on her neck. Before long they are they were in a tangle of limbs with cries of pleasure echoing off the walls of her small bedroom.
