Chapter 10

The rain hammered down on Bulma's frame as she stood nestled in Vegeta's stubborn, muscular arms, his lips working over hers thoroughly as his hands crept up her back, exploring her figure. She felt a smirk cross his lips as his hands drew closer to the clasp of her bra, He can't do that here. Without thinking she pressed her soaked chest against his, causing him to bump into the fence behind him as he bit her bottom lip, growling slightly as he hesitantly pulled away.

A weak moan escaped Bulma's lips as the kiss ended, her eyes slowly opening to reveal a saturated Prince staring back at her; his right hand reaching towards her and wiping away a chunk of wet hair that had flicked across her cheek. Her eyes darted down to her feet as she felt a rush of heat in her chest; embarrassment consuming her as she immediately took in the last words exchanged between them. He knows now, and he still kissed me, she noted silently as her heart hammered in her chest.

"Stop it already," came his sharp voice, immediately cutting through the voices in her head. Grabbing her chin he forced her eyes to meet his, the corners of his mouth curving upwards slightly as he took in her flustered expression. "You think too much woman," he stated simply, his free hand slicking his saturated hair backwards as he spoke. Why can't she just act on impulse?

His words left her flabbergasted, Do I really think too much? Is there such a thing? Wait how did he know I was thinking about what we just did? Lucky guess. Her eyes narrow as she shook free of his hold, "I will do as I please Vegeta, besides you are the one who kissed me after I told you how I felt. How can I not think about that?" she snaps back as she blushes fiercely, her lips tingling. She hadn't thought this far ahead, what was she supposed to do now? She needed answers from him, after all, how many times would he seize her lips without so much as a verbalised hint to his feelings?

"You are my woman, I can tell you what to do if I wish to do so," he quipped as he smirked at her. "You have been claimed by a Saiyan Prince, you should at least humour me at times you frustrating creature..." Without a doubt she was the only creature on this planet who he would tolerate disobedience from, at times it a turn on when she challenged him – not that he would ever disclose that.

Bulma's lips twisted in annoyance as she stared at the infuriating man before her, "When did you honestly want me to be your woman though Vegeta?" She asks as she trembles a little, I don't understand him, He does nothing but confuse me. The way he acted just earlier would indicate he cares for me, but would he ever say that? Goku tells Chi-Chi but Vegeta is different…

An annoyed growl escapes his lips as he takes in her words and notes her hurt expression. "You seem upset..." He mutters as he runs his hand through his hair, pushing it out of his eyes as the rain continued to cascade upon them. "Despite what you might think..." He starts as he hesitantly reaches forward and lifts her chin, her once brave eyes now trembling, "...I want to protect you." He barely knew what he was saying but it had been said, somewhere deep inside him he felt a ridiculous urge to protect this feisty siren, I shouldn't have to say these ridiculous things. I'm not about to let the woman get attacked, taken advantage of or mistreated…and I only want her to look at me, not that scarfaced manchild.

Her eyes softened as she reached up and slowly drew his hand down griping it with her own as she sighed softly, "Then I guess we are dating then since our feelings are mutual..." she notes as she smiles and winks at him, "You got lucky to get such a hottie considering your nasty temper Vegeta." She could never help herself, when things got a little awkward her sassy side came out to play and Vegeta was generally at the receiving end of this behaviour due to his classic reactions. I don't need him to say he cares for me, I can tell just from how he spoke to me then. He wasn't raised to share his feelings… she notes as she tugs gently at his hand and starts to walk in the direction of Capsule Corp.

Vegeta twitched in irritation as she led him along the footpath; "I haven't agreed to anything of the sort Bulma. I own you, you're mine. That's the only way this will work." I am already being tormented by her and getting dragged down the street like a dog, the prince notes while glaring at the back of her head, hesitantly shaking his hand free of Bulma's icy grip. "You're too cold, we are flying. No arguments," he muttered as he scooped her up in his arms and few up into the air, her arms and legs flailing around her as she gasps.

"Ah we will even more saturated now!" She whined as she clung to him, her head nestled in the nook of his neck as she felt his warm arms tighten around her shivering form. Did I embarrass him? I guess that's likely...but he is still at my side so I guess we really are getting closer to each other because he didn't fly away without me when I teased him for once, she notes with a chuckle as she looks up at him, his stoic expression meeting her gaze as he starts to descend, landing at her front door.

"What is that expression for?" He asks unsurely as he shifts his arms to support her as one of her petite hands reaches for the door, unlocking it as he enters her home. He flicks his hair animalistically as he sighs in relief to finally be out of the rain, She is still cold. He lowers her to the floor and nudges her in the direction of the staircase, "Go and warm up…" he urges as he leans back against the front door and looks away, the last thing he wanted to do was to bring attention to the fact that he had a soft spot for her.

"Well I'm drenched Vegeta, I shouldn't exactly stand around like this," she replied as she laughed and slipped her heels off, tossing them in the coat closet. Technically he should shower too, she noted silently as her eyes made their way down his saturated form, his shirt clinging to his bulging muscles, the slight outline of his nipples poking through the material. "You're cold too," she whispered as she pointed at his shirt without thinking.

W-What? He gaped as he stared back at the woman before him, "Why are you so perverted? I bet you are in heat or something…" he mutters as he crosses his arms across his chest, his face flushed as he storms past her, heading towards the gravity chamber. Who says that kind of thing? Despite the fact that he was rather used to her sharp tongue and foul mind it was never pleasant to have it directed at him, and honestly all it did was make him flustered which in turn irritated him.

His eyes narrowed as stormed into the gravity chamber and kicked a shattered training drone, flying forward and smashing into the computer screen. Blasted Woman! She caused this! Why did she have to look at me like that? Not to mention the fact that her chest was. He quickly shook her head, fighting the lewd thoughts that were creeping into his mind, I will not let her win this easily, I bet she didn't cover up on purpose.

He slumped his shoulders as he turned and looked out of the hatch unsurely, his eyes fixed on the rain as he felt water droplets roll down his body. There were very few things he had doubts about and one of them was undoubtedly that woman's intentions. Courtship wasn't something he really gave much thought to and sex was just something he indulged in whist visiting planets on behalf of Freiza. Since they had bonded unintentionally it had played on his mind a lot, far too much for his liking. What would an Earthling relationship even require from me? The whole concept was so foreign other than what he has observed from the others he had encountered.

A static noise flickered behind him causing him to sigh loudly, I forgot about that blasted contraption I kicked into the screen, she will be annoyed when she finds out as per usual. Rolling his eyes he unbuttoned his drenched shirt and tossed it aside as he walked back towards the house, I need to get her to fix this system so I can train and get my mind off this nonsense. This declaration of love that she made better at least mean my requests get fast tracked...

Bulma sighed as she closed the bathroom door and examined her drenched form; her hair was a complete and utter mess curtsey of mother nature and Vegeta's insane flying. Arching her brows she looked down at her partly visible breasts enclosed in the now sheer material. So I guess that means he saw my breasts too, she noted as she blushed a little and started to strip, her dress pooling at her feet as she unclasped her bra and sighed happily, What is that guy's deal anyway? He has been calling me his mate for weeks, and now I'm his girlfriend I guess though he hasn't referred to it in that manner. I can look at his body, there is nothing embarrassing about that.

Her tongue traces across her lips as she rubs her arms and gently steps into the shower and flicks the tap on hot as she danced around in anticipation, the water slowly cascades down on her as she smiles and sinks to the bottom of the space. I can't believe he kissed me like that earlier and that he said the things he did. Who knew he could be so passionate? I would never have pegged him for the white knight type... Her fingers traced across her lips as she blushed gently. Arguments aside I guess he really does care about me. It's so weird though, I'm dating someone with an ego that challenges my own, she laughs softly as she rose to her feet and reached for the bar of soap, lathering her skin as her eyes followed the foamy path it made as she worked it down her to her navel.

Vegeta glared at the shut door to her ensuite, an unexpected delay to his plan to resume training, How long is she planning to take? I would be well and truly done by now. "Woman!" he bellowed from the other side of the door, his fist pounding on the door impatiently, brows furrowed in annoyance, "Hurry up! I am sure you are amply clean by now! I need you to fix the screen in the gravity chamber!"

His loud voice catches her off guard, causing her to automatically wince and turn her body away from the door defensively. He had never really understood the idea that there were times when she wished to be alone, "I'll fix it when I feel like it!" she shouts back as she glares at the doorway. Who on earth does he think he is? I have had a chaotic afternoon, the last thing I need right now is him trying to order me around...Besides aren't boyfriend's meant to treat their women with respect? Respect my shower time! She twists her lips in distaste as she places the soap back in the soap holder and starts rinsing off the remaining soapsuds, On the other hand I probably should assist...perhaps I can use his feelings for me and impatience against him to teach him a lesson.

"I thought you wanted to be my woman? You do realise that this isn't the best start to officially acknowledging that, right?" He growled as he beat his balled fist against the door;truth be told this was one of the very few times he actually did not his impatience and difficult nature. But did he care? Not in the slightest. I'm not asking for her to move mountains here, I just want to train, I should be a priority now.

A grin crosses her lips as she turns off the tap and his loud knocking stops, He is getting more irritated, I don't think I have ever met such an impatient man in my entire life. Her eyes scan over her figure as she walks past the mirror and straightens her posture slightly, Now for that war we have going on. This is what impatience will get you Vegeta. Without even hesitating she reached forward and opened the bathroom door, exposing her flawless body to him as she smirked; "I can fix the gravity chamber now if you want? I have no issue with my current lack of clothes I can assure you..." she whispers seductively, his face reddening considerably as his eyes slowly scanned down her form as she leant against the door frame triumphantly. I win this round Saiyan Prince!

His eyes widened in disbelief as he took a step backwards, he couldn't help but admire her courage and her assets that she had so kindly presented to him. So much for the lamb being weary of the lion. Her body looks almost identical to what I saw in that wretched dream I had not long ago, He notes silently as his heart rate skyrockets. This woman wants to tease me, so I'll tease her back. A Saiyan never loses to anyone, Vegeta forces a calm smile as his eyes slowly dart up to meet her playful gaze, his body drawing closer to hers as the heat from his bare chest radiated against her own. "What are you trying to say by presenting yourself to me so willingly?" he rasped at last, his hands slowly traveling up her thighs and resting at her waist, caressing it gently as she bit down on her bottom lip nervously. I am more than happy to proceed, you underestimate me...

"Me? I would never think to do such a thing; I am simply doing what you asked of me. If you find me seductive that is completely unintentional," She teased as she brushed past him her breasts bouncing slightly as she walked, if there was one thing she had mastered in the time they had been harassing each other it was how to appeal to his hormones, it could almost be called a hobby of hers. "Now should I get dressed or not?" she whispered as she rummaged through her draws for fresh underwear.

His eyes narrowed as he chuckled to himself, "I don't care what you wear woman, though I have warned you what might happen if you tempt me too much." The prince slowly walked over to her, his flattened palm slapping and gripping her plump right cheek causing a sharp gasp to escape her, the genius' face reddening in an instant as she turned to look over her shoulder at him. Vegeta quickly reached forward with his free hand, lifting and gripping her chin gently and he pressed his lips against her right ear, "This is a fun little game. I might not be patient with most things, but I enjoy watching your squirm like this far to much too not take interest in this little act of yours."

Not knowing what else to do she smiled boldly back up at the overconfident Adonis, her heart racing as she lifted herself up onto her toes and placed a gentle kiss at the corner of his mouth. "I think you will be the one to give in, I know tricks," she whispers with a wink as she rests her feet flat on the floor once more, This ought to be interesting.
