Chapter 13

The Birds & The Bees

It was weird, that little tickly feeling in her lower belly. She smiled and patted the growing bump and there it was again. It felt like little bubbles being blown through a straw. Okasan had told her that it was the babies moving, Kuon's mother, not her own. Kyoko's mother was actually visibly excited when she told her, but wasn't really able to give any advice on the matter. Her pregnancy wasn't exactly the most eventful, she apologized.

In the kitchen making dinner, bra-less in a soft cut-off cotton tee and a pair of Kuon's black, silk boxers with her little pregnant belly sticking out, she didn't hear him come into the apartment. He stood in the doorway just watching her as she put together their dinner, flashing a little of the lower part of her rapidly enlarging, full, pert breasts each time she reached into a cupboard above her, admiring how his boxers hung on her curvaceous hips. There was something about how she looked in his underwear, barefoot and pregnant, he smiled to himself and let out a low growl as he imagined all of the wonderful things he wanted to do to her.

"AHH!" She squealed and jumped in surprise. "Kuon! You startled me." She laughed.

"I'm home." He chuckled. He loved her antics.

"Welcome home." She gave him a soft smile. "How was your day?"

"Oh, same old thing and yours?" Kissing her on the temple and picking a piece of broccoli out the stir-fry in the pan.

"I was able to get the rest of the invitations out today and finished a couple of my songs." She casually told him as she dished out the food and arranged it on two plates.

"How many guests does that make?" He asked as he grabbed two bottles of water and poured her a glass of apple juice.

"Hmm, I think that will make about 200 guests." She mused as she set the plates on the dining room table.

"Ugh, this is getting a bit big." He sighed.

"Well, you know how Takarada-san can be. Go big or, go home." She snickered as they sat to eat dinner.

"Yeah, I know. How did we end up with so many friends?" He chuckled.

"I know, I didn't realize how many I had on my side and your family, oh my gosh!" It was almost overwhelming. She finally had family, lots of it and to spare. She giggled.

"Did you include Taisho and Okami?" she nodded, "What about the Fuwas?", her food stopped half-way to her mouth. "You know I don't mind, they did raise you." He smiled.

"You really don't mind?" placing her chopsticks on her plate.

"Of course not." She leapt into a hug as he sat diagonally from her.

"I love you." She sighed snuggling into him.

"I love you too, Babe." Giving her an innocent, gentle kiss. "Now finish your dinner." He laughed pointing to her plate.

"Who would have thought you would need to tell me that?" She giggled.

Dinner was eaten, dishes were washed, the sun was setting and the couple was lounging lazily on the sofa. Kuon watched the news as Kyoko lay her head on his lap with him gently petting her baby bump without really thinking about it.

"I felt them move today." She looked up at him to see his reaction with a smile.

"You did?! Can I feel?" He asked excitedly.

"I asked Mom and Okasan about it, but Mom said that you wouldn't be able to feel anything for a few more weeks. Right now it just feels like little bubbles." They both looked a little dejected about it, but still excited. She kissed the hand that had been petting her.

"Otousan and Daddy will be coming next week and Mom will be here on the weekend." She offered casually.

Kuon laughed, "I guess you'll be doing a lot of shopping this weekend then." She paled, she had forgotten about Julie's shopping addiction.

"Maybe, but I think we'll be spending most of it with dress fittings and final touch-ups on the other stuff. Boss is letting me do some of it still. He's just organizing most of it." She told him as she went over her mental to do list.

Bzzt. Bzzt.

She checked her phone. "It's Moko-san." He nodded and she sat up.

"Moko-san?"

"Kyoko! What do I do?" Kanae was in a panic. "What do I do?! I am so screwed!"

"Calm down and tell me what's wrong." She had almost worked Kyoko into a frenzy with worry.

"Okay, umm. Kyoko... I'm pregnant..." Kyoko dropped the phone. "Kyoko! Kyoko!"

"Whew, I'm okay. The phone just slipped out of my hand." She told her with relief in her voice. "I thought something horrible had happened." She laughed.

"MO! This is horrible! I can't be pregnant. I caught this from you!" Kanae accused her as if pregnancy were a virus that spread airborne from host to host.

"No Moko-san, somehow I don't think it works that way." She laughed. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. I took two tests and a doctor's visit! What do I do?!" She pleaded.

"Well first, shouldn't you tell Yuki?" Kyoko asked.

"Yuki.. Yuki... Right! I need to tell him, but how am I going to do that? I've always told him I didn't want kids! What is he going to say?" She asked in a panic.

"Why don't you tell him and find out? I think you might be surprised." Kyoko told her in a gentle reassuring tone.

"Right.. Right.. I'll call you back later or, see you tomorrow.. or, whatever." Kanae hung up, Kyoko shook her head with a smile. She and her best friend would get to be pregnant together.

"Everything okay?" Kuon asked out of curiosity.

"Yeah, just a little panicky about something she needs to tell Yashiro-san." She laughed and kissed his cheek.

He didn't push for any more information. He had a hunch from what Yashiro had been saying for the past few days.

Kyoko resumed her position on his lap and Kuon resumed the gentle caresses; however, this time his mind started to wander to her scent and the feel of her soft skin. She turned to lay on her side with his hand gently caressing up and down the curve of her waist and hips gradually increasing the area of coverage to her bare ribs and back down to her hips. Occasionally he would graze her breast with his thumb and then move back down to brush the skin beneath the boxers she had commandeered, just to see how far he could push the envelope before she said anything.

The power to the television flashed off guiding his attention to the little vixen on the sofa as she tossed the remote to the table and rose on all fours like a cat and stretched. She slowly crawled to him and straddled his lap facing him. "What do you think you were doing?" She whispered lustily as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I don't know what you're talking about Babe." He feigned innocence as his large hands grabbed her waist and slowly moved to cup her full firm breasts under her cropped t-shirt. She ground into his lap to drive home her point, causing him to toss his head back on the sofa and groan in pleasure. She rose to her knees to slowly drag the tip of her tongue up his bare neck and nibble on his very sensitive ear as his thumbs circled the hardened little dark buttons that he loved playing with so much. The lust filled Emperor came out in full force as he wrapped one arm around her waist to pull her close and his other hand dipped into the boxers massaging her firm backside and exploring. "Mmm, no panties again." He purred in her ear as his fingers found their mark, sending little shots of pleasure throughout her entire body. She was sending him over the edge with her grinding, panting and heavy breaths. He rolled them onto the sofa with her pinned beneath him. His lips and mouth traveled from her neck to her breasts with him nipping, sucking and teasing between caresses and kisses. His hands deftly removed his boxers from her and his fingers grazed her moist heat as he caressed her inner thigh. Her hips rose to meet him with every light touch.

"Not yet Babe.." His lips gently caressed hers in a silken touch that tasted like warm honey and strawberries. She whimpered in pleasure, wordlessly begging for release. He wanted to make this last as long as possible. Seeing her this way excited him more than she would ever dream of. Her moans of pleasure wrapped around him and gave him such a beautiful and exquisite torture beyond words. It was as if her ecstasy filled voice permeated his soul and filled him until he overflowed with a lusty warmth making him want more and more. She was a drug and he was an addict. Just one more taste. His tongue dipped into her warmth and out again. His lips gently sucked on her little hidden bit of pleasure. She let out a sharp gasp and clenched her thighs, he held them steadily and strongly as he licked and sucked a little bit more. Her fingers dug into his shoulders as she shook from pleasure and her hips rose and fell as he brought her closer and closer to the edge. Finally with a violent shiver and forceful grind into him she fell over the edge pulsating and panting heavily in pleasure.

With darkened lust filled eyes he climbed up her length. "Now we can start." He told her in a low sexy growl. Her eyes grew wide and a sexy smirk crossed her lips. She grabbed his arms and flipped with him off the sofa landing on top of him and straddling him on the floor. His hands rested on her hips as she untied his PJ pants and lowered them just enough to get what she wanted. She mounted like a good little cowgirl and proceeded to give him his own little private pleasure filled sweaty rodeo for the rest of the evening.
