Yeah… three months between updates. Oops. Good part – you can't kill me because you want me to finish this story at some point. So, ha, I'm safe for now. Flame me all ya want in the reviews. I shall put on my fire-resistant gloves the next time I check 'em out. Enjoy!

:D

Couch steam

Naru didn't miss that the scared unsure look came back to her eyes. Her hands started to tremble again, though one wound around his arm as if he'd leave otherwise. She was a virgin. Meaning she didn't know that there were other joys of intimacy that didn't directly involve the man pounding into the woman like a wild animal.

"Relax." He whispered, on his hands and knees above her with one of his knees grinding lightly against her core. "I won't do anything you don't want, Mai. Stop me if I do, alright? Slap me or something. Or push me away with your powers."

Getting a little more confidence, she pushed herself up on her elbows and kissed him. "You can't rape the willing, Naru." She whispered. But her voice was still unsure. He was somewhat glad for that. The slightly scared look in her eyes would be a constant reminder that he had to be slow and careful.

Naru lowered himself so she was forced to lie down again. The couch was long enough for him to lie down and stretch, so it fit them both comfortably. "This does not mean you're going anywhere near my mother, Mai." He stated. "You don't understand just how bad she is. The second she sees any attraction between us, she'll scream and start ranting about weddings and children and…" He groaned, letting his head fall onto her shoulder. "She means well. She does. She just has no verbal filter. It's even worse when Father isn't there to distract her."

When he picked his head up to look at her, he was horrified to see pain and sadness in her eyes. Instantly, he wanted to gut himself as he realized what he'd done wrong. Carefully, he sat them both up so she was straddling one of his legs.

"Mai, it's not that. I swear it." He told her, carefully grabbing her chin so she was looking him in the eye. She was tearing, her eyes full of pain. She thought he didn't want those things. She thought he wouldn't want to marry him and have children. "Mai, listen to me. I didn't mean that." He told her. "But you're still in high school. It's too soon to have Mother raving about cake flavors and baby names. And she will. And then she'll never stop nagging us about when we're going to announce it to the world that Oliver Davis is getting married. I've seen marriages that were rushed, Mai. I've seen couples that got pregnant too soon." He wouldn't admit that he'd thought about it. He'd want to castrate himself for causing her the pain of childbirth, but he had thought about having a child with this woman. "I don't want to rush this, Mai. I hate being famous. I hate it. And if Mother doesn't scare you off then the media will!"

He grunted slightly as he suddenly found himself on his back. She was straddling his hips fully, a small grin on her lips as the pain faded from her eyes. "It's going to take more than that to scare me off." She purred. "Besides, your mother will be far from the first to start pestering me on when I'm going to get married and pregnant. Most Chi Monks are old, Naru. Back in their day, it was inappropriate for a girl my age to be unwed."

"My mother is worse." Naru stated. "And the second she hears you live alone, she'll get on my ass about allowing it. She'll rip me a new one, actually, and Lin. And then she'll probably completely redo my room and demand you move in with me. She's impossible to refuse. She's got the doe-eyes from hell that makes Lin's emotionless father crumble!" Then he stopped, grinning slightly. "Or maybe you should meet her."

Mai giggled, her entire body shaking with her laughter… including her core against his groin. He moaned, now knowing what a vibrator felt like. Before he could stop himself, his hands were under her shirt again. Still sensitive to every new sensation, she threw her head back and grinded without realizing exactly what she was doing.

Her mind caught back up with her when she heard the sounds of a zipper. Her zipper. Anxiety flooded through her. She'd pleasured herself once before to test her powers' reaction, yes, but this was different. The feeling of NOT being in control wasn't something she liked at all. She battled with her own mind, forcing herself to let Naru do what he wanted. She DID trust the man. She chanted it in her head like a mantra.

He's not going to hurt me. He's not going to hurt me.

But part of her deep down was still scared shitless that he'd just abandon her when he got what he wanted. That's what most guys did once they got sex, right? It is what all of her old friends used to warn her about, naming off all the guys that had just left the second they 'banged' them. Would Naru be the exception?

Her pants were suddenly on the ground, spandex-shorts underneath. Her back arched and she clung to him on instinct as he rubbed her through the spandex. Her hips jerked for more friction. "N-No…" She gasped out when the friction was suddenly lost.

"Relax for me, Mai." He whispered, now back to their first position of him looming of her with one knee between her legs. "I'm not going to hurt you, I promise. If it hurts tell me." A hand was on her stomach just above the start of the spandex. "If I scare you, tell me."

Mai nodded, her sanity slowly returning to her. She oddly no longer needed her mantra.

Naru kept his eyes on Mai. He knew her better. She wasn't a complainer. At all. If she thought that he was getting pleasure, she'd let it go on even if it felt like it was tearing her in half. So he watched her carefully, judging her reaction as he slowly put his fingers under the elastic shorts and then lower.

Her breath hitched more the lower he got, anxiety never really leaving her eyes. He found her folds and couldn't help but grin upon feeling that she was wet. Very wet. Waiting to penetrate, he let his fingers explore her outer core carefully. His dick throbbed and twitched. She was so wet and ready for him… yet not at the same time. He still couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that the little vixen had never been pleasured by a man.

His fingers found the bundle of nerves at the top on accident, to be honest. But she gasped loudly and jerked for more friction, her back arching when he gave it to her. Her breath came in gasps, her arms only able to hold him tighter as if she'd fly out the window from the wave of pleasure.

"Mai, look at me." Naru whispered in her ear. "Look at me and only me. I'll never leave you. I swear it. I'll gladly spend the rest of my life just proving that to you." He inserted one finger when she opened her eyes, rubbing her clit with his thumb as he pumped his finger in to the first knuckle to give her a slight hint to what real sex would feel like. "I'll earn your trust again."

"I-I do trussst y-you…" She gasped out. Then, as a moan escaped her lips, she clamped her lips shut as if it was something to be ashamed of.

"No, don't hold it in." Naru whispered. "I want to hear it." And then he was the one to moan when her hand slithered through his unbuttoned (when the hell did that happen?) pants and found his throbbing dick.

She gasped in pain as his finger snapped in further and bumped against something sensitive inside her.

"Shit." Naru cursed. He knew he didn't break it but he hadn't meant to allow his finger in any deeper. He stilled all movement, knowing better than to remove his finger like he wanted to. Better to just leave it still to let her relax enough for him to pull it out. "I'm sorry. I'm not very good at this, am I?" He kissed her neck and face carefully, waiting for her to relax.

Hymen. Mai had heard once before that activity like a lot of fighting often broke one's hymen before having sex. She'd thought that was true and, considering she'd fought demons, always figured her hymen was long-sense torn.

But it wasn't.

"It's alright." Mai told him when she was sure her voice wouldn't crack. She allowed her hands to go back on their quest to find the only penis she ever actually wanted to have anywhere near her. "I'm alright. I'm not that fragile."

"No, it's not alriiii…" Pleasure coursed through him (thank god he'd already taken out that stupid finger) when his lower limb was freed from his pants. "Mai, ssstop." He gasped out.

She jerked her hand away, her eyes snapping up to him in concern. "I'm sorry, Naru. Did I h-"

Naru kissed her, cursing inwardly. Of course she'd think she'd done something wrong. She was one of those people that thought everything wrong in the world was somehow her fault.

"No, Mai, you just caught me off guard." He told her. "Do what you want. I'll tell you if it hurts if you tell me if I hurt you, deal?"

Mai nodded and, carefully, reached back down and wound her hands around his pulsating limb. It twitched into her hand and she giggled, experimentally wrapping her hand around it and stroking it. Instantly, she was worried about how the hell it'd fit into her. She'd never really seen a penis before aside from doing psychometrics on rape cases. She'd felt the pain several times over the years… and couldn't help but wonder if it was true what other girls said about it feeling good or if it really hurt like she'd felt with the rape cases.

"We're not going all the way, Mai." Naru whispered in her ear. "We'll just stay like this for now. I can wait." Then what he was about to say next was drowned out as she started to stroke him fully. He buckled against her, his head dropping to her shoulder, his moans impossible to hold back.

"Payback is a bitch." Mai grinned as she flipped their positions and continued to play with his responsive member. Then she claimed his lips, their tongues battling. Eventually, Naru's sanity returned enough for him to continue his work on her core.

Both of them exploded with sensation at the same time, crumbling to nothing as they were reduced to panting messes. Naru found the energy to pull them into a sitting position and wrap an arm around Mai's trembling form. This trembling, he liked. This was a trembling from an orgasm that he gave her. Her first orgasm. "I'll never look at this couch the same way ever again." He informed her.

Mai grinned up at him, otherwise limp in his arms. "Oh just wait for spring to come around. I'm a professional at pretending you don't make me hot-and-bothered. How about you?"

"You're going to wear skirts on purpose, aren't you?"

Mai grinned wider. "Now would I do that?"

Mai is evil. And, yeah, Naru is never going to be able to look at that couch without getting kinky thoughts.

:D
