A/n Hello everyone! I know I just posted my new story but I also finished this little chapter so I thought I should post it as well. There was an overwhelming vote of continuing the last short.
I did post my two new stories "Steam" And "A Knight and Her Page." They are fantasy romances. They will be quite long, so if you like that sort of fic please stop by and give them a read.

Obviously this is heavy in the lemon-ness. Enjoy, dear readers.

Characters: Kenshin, Kaoru

Raiting M /whole chapter of lemon

"Kenshin…I don't want you to stop." She covered her mouth with one hand. "It sounds so bad." She whispered.

That gaze was back. His grip on her shoulders tightened. "Kaoru." He took a breath. "I would never take advantage of you. I'm a man and you are a woman but I would hope you understand that I do this because I want you to be mine." He paused, and took a breath. "And I would hope you are allowing me here because you want me to be yours." He had never allowed himself to feel the truth, much less say it. But deep inside, it was true. Kaoru was his, but he would never claim her unless she would claim him as well.

"Kenshin." She struggled to not let the tears fall. "Kenshin, I've loved you for so long." She whispered in a pained voice.

Kenshin felt himself sag in relief. He didn't know he based the rest of his life on her answer. He leaned forward and touched his forehead to hers and closed his eyes. "So have I, that I have." He whispered in return.

Braver now, Kaoru felt her confessions bubbling up. "I want to be yours and I want you to be mine." She let go of her kimono and grabbed his gi. "I want this more than anything. I just didn't want you to think badly of me."

They locked eyes and Kenshin couldn't fight the urge to kiss those tears away. He took her face in his hands and kissed them away one by one. "Kaoru I would never think badly of you. Would you think badly of me?"

"N-no." she gave a shaky laugh.

There was that smile. The smile that convinced him to stay with her so long ago. She was a sweet and innocent girl then. All she wanted to do was to protect her family name from slander. Time had turned her into a woman, and the things she had seen had robbed her of naiveness. But she was willing to give him the last bit of her innocence. After that, she would be a true woman, his woman.

"Are you worried because we are not yet married?" He asked, urging her to speak her fears.

Kaoru blinked. "Yet married?" She whispered, hardly allowing herself to think too deeply into his words. But she couldn't help it.

Kenshin smiled, his eyes turning back to the warmth of amber. "I would not allow myself to be here in your room." He reached out and took the edges of her kimono from her hands. "Talking about such things, half undressed if I didn't plan on committing myself to you." He caught her eyes. "I've loved your for so long and Kami knows I've lusted over your for longer." He confessed. "I'm never leaving your side again."

Kaoru closed her eyes, warmth and happiness flooded every inch of her. But quickly it sizzled away to giddiness and her clam, happy feeling turned into a rush of adrenalin. She started to shake as Kenshin drew her against him in an embrace. He pulled back only enough to claim her lips. Slowly, softly. So much so that Kaoru's feelings twisted and tumbled around. She felt close to swooning, and yet frustrated. She realized, to her humor that she preferred the Battousai. She pulled away from his lips and ignored his questioning look. She went for his neck instead, catching the taught skin with her teeth.

Kenshin jumped, his arms tightening around her as she scraped her teeth against his skin. A low rumbled started deep in his throat and the sound shot straight to Kaoru's most sensitive places. Seems the time for talking was over. Again a thrill shot through Kaoru, causing her to shake and her brain to go fuzzy.

Kenshin shifted, instead of sitting on his legs he crossed them in front of him and he pulled Kaoru to sit in his lap. His body was hot and it burned through their clothes and Kaoru felt like he was scorching her. Kenshin shrugged his shoulder and let his gi fall away. Kaoru pulled back to look at him. He was all muscle and skin. How could a man who looked so wound up tight act so calm? Kaoru felt like any touch would make her jump. With her still in his lap, Kenshin moved with slow, deliberate movements to take the edges of her Kimono and pulled them open.

At once Kaoru felt the chill of the air on her bare skin. Then just as quickly heat and blood rushed to her face as Kenshin took in the sight of her. Never had anyone seen her without her clothes and it was all she could to keep herself from covering herself from him. Even so, her hands moved inward, but Kenshin caught them, clicking his tongue at her.

"Easy, now." He murmured, the yellow had leaked back into his eyes, but Kaoru felt nothing but safe with Battousai around.

"I'm not a horse." She laughed softly.

"Well, you're skittish as a yearling." He returned, his eyes roaming, his hands trailing over her shoulders to push the silk from her body. His voice was harsh, it rubbed against her like the prickle of chin stubble on skin. It sent her shivering. His warm hands made their way over her shoulders and down her back, until they reached the curve of her bottom. He gripped her there and pulled. Her whole body was pressed up against his. Kaoru had no choice but to wrap her legs around his waist. She flushed, turning her head as her most private place was now pressed into his belly and his hardened member bumped against her bottom and settled startling close to her entrance.

She froze.

He froze.

She wasn't a horse but she sure spooked easily. Kenshin would stop is she said. He prayed she wouldn't though, not now that he could feel her silky soft curls tempting his cock. His hands roamed, letting her get used to him touching her bare body. His lips trailed down her neck to her breast when he bit one globe of flesh. She gasped, arching her back, pressing them to him. He ran his tongue over the slight teeth marks and focused on the puckered nipple. He latched on to it, causing a surprised sound from the girl. She cut herself off, obviously not wanting to make the slightest bit of noise. For they were not alone in the house.

Kenshin grinned around her nipple. He almost wanted to make her scream to spite her modesty. But he felt a bit of mercy for the girl. He'll make her scream later, now...now he would make her moan. The grip she had on his hair was enough to tell him that she was enjoying herself. He ate his fill of her pale skin, using his teeth, tongue and lips. He memorized every inch of her body with his hands, finally dipped his hand between their bodies and used his fingers to spread her lower lips open for him.

Immediately she tensed, her mouth, which had he tasting him suddenly stilled. Her curls were wet with her need but even so, he wouldn't dare invade her unless she wanted it. "I'm going to touch you now, Kaoru."

He felt her nod. Alright then, that was all he needed. He found her entrance and slipped a finger up inside of her. She hissed, her thighs shook, wanting to clap shut, but clamped around his body instead. She was so wet and burning hot it made adding a second finger easy. He went slow though, as he could feel her stretching.

She dug her nails into him. She tried not to but she couldn't help it. He didn't seem to mind though, it was as though he couldn't even feel it. Kaoru felt like she would be split open just from his two skilled fingers. What would it feel like with….with him inside her? For the first time she felt uneasy about the whole thing. But with Kenshin's heavy breath in here ear and the sheen of sweat that had started to build on both of them, she wouldn't forgive herself if she asked it to end. Soon Kenshin's fingers moved smoothly in and out of her. There was no more painful pinch, just an uncomfortable fullness. Then he touched a spot that made her feel strange. She pulled back a little and was caught in his yellow gaze. Liquid heat, like pools of metal in the furnace they were. He was watching her so intently that she couldn't bare to return the gaze. She closed her eyes as his touch wound her tighter and tighter.

He pulled his fingers from her but kept his touch on that magical spot as he rocked his hips slightly and positioned himself. She felt his hard member press into her opening. He grabbed her hair near her scalp. It was a firm tug, but not painful. Kaoru pulled away and look at him.

"Now?" His voice rumbled low.

This was it, there was no turning back. She didn't want to turn back. She didn't think she could. He had played her until her body was about to snap. She wanted him. All of him from now until forever. She nodded. "Now."

She thought he would surge into her. Make it fast. But instead the red monster played with her. Pressed himself into her just until she felt the pinch of tightness and then he would pull away. He did it again and again and his fingers worked quickly over that sensitive nub. Kaoru was panting now, her breath heaving in and out as though she was running. She was vaguely aware of soft keening sounds coming from her. Then in one smooth movement he sheathed himself inside of her. The shock of pain escaped her in a startled bark that was cut off by his lips over hers.

"Shhhh. It's alright." He whispered against her lips when a low whine escaped her. The intrusion was nothing like that of his fingers, it was set deeper. Her sensitive spots stung and burned and ached all at once. But she focused on Kenshin instead. He whispered softly, his hands cupped her face and his thumbs wiped away two rouge tears that squeezed from her eyes.

He hated the look of shock that crossed her features. She knew what to expect, most females did, but it never was how they figured it would be. Kenshin didn't have a habit of bedding virgin girls, He was uncertain if his method helped or made the process worse. His body trembled from being buried so deeply inside of her. He wanted to move, he had to move, but he held himself back. She was so tight he feared he wouldn't be able to draw out of her. But slowly, agonizingly slow, she relaxed. First her fingers in his flesh and them her arms relaxed and slowly her back until she was resting limp against him.

"'M alright now." She whispered.

"Are you sure?" He took hold of her hips. She nodded.

"Well you're in control, Kaoru." He smirked.

Kaoru opened her eyes and looked down at their joined bodies. She was sitting in his lap. She would have to be the one to move. A sudden look of panic crossed her features and Kenshin took pity. "Here." He took her hips to steady her as he unfolded his legs from under her and stretched out on the futon. It was a glories sight seeing her riding above him. Her hair was already in disarray, her sweaty skin flushed and shiny in the lantern light.

He was painfully beautiful. Kaoru straddled his hips and looked down at the man sprawled under her. His red hair was a messy array around his head and he wore an amused look on his face. Then the look was gone in a flash as his hands took firmer hold of the flesh on her hips. He pulled at her "Rock forward." He said, no...demanded. Those burning amber eyes were melting into her soul. She did as he demanded, rocking forward. She gasped at the sensation of him sliding out of her, only to have him push back against her hips, pushing her back. His own hips rose to meet hers. A yelp escaped her as he slid back into her with a forceful slap of their bodies. Kenshin paused them as Kaoru held her breath. There was still pain, but behind that was a pressure building.

Her eyes were screwed shut and her nails dug into Kenshin's chest. Slowly she let out her breath and rosked forward again and them back, slowly this time.

"You're in control, Kaoru, you set the pace." Kenshin's voice wavered, as if he were struggling. Kaoru cracked open her eyes to see that the man was completely relaxed. But his eyes were shut tight, the little wrinkles around his eyes gave away that he was in fact, struggling. But why? Unsure, Kaoru continued her movements. Each thrust teased that little bud of pressure deep inside of her. And after a moment a low moan issued from Kenshin. This time he covered his eyes with one arm and looked away. Kaoru could see the flush of blood pooling at his neck and face, the sweat starting to bead on his skin.

She moved quicker, rolling back with more force. The harder she thrust the more of that delicious pressure built within her, and like scratching an itch, she wanted more...and more. With Kenshin looking away, all feelings of embarrassment fell away. Her head fell back, her breath came in soft gasps. All too soon she could feel Kenshin's body twitching under her.

Damn it. Kenshin wasn't going to last much longer. Looking away from the goddess above him helped a little, but all too soon she learned the rhythm that made him moan. As much as he tried to fight it and hold it back, he couldn't. She was well and truly used to him now, it was time for him to take over. He sat up and flipped Kaoru down and just that fast their positions were switched. He expected her to be disoriented, maybe a bit unsure. But she surprised him again by smothering back giggles.

"My turn." He rasped out, immediately slipping his hand between them and finding her nub. At once she all but mewed in pleasure. He palmed both breasts before giving them attention with his mouth. Her hands clutched at his back, as did her legs, wrapping around him. How long had he lusted after the fantasy of being between her thighs? His mouth trailed up her throat and caught her lips in a kiss, once, twice. And then her soft cries took on a different tone. At once Kenshin angled himself to better drive himself into her. Harder, harder still until he feared anymore would cause her pain. Her body grew tight around his, nails attached at his back and her legs latched him in place. Her face twisted in that tell-tail sign of approaching completion.

"K-Kenshin." His name was soft, her voice shaky and the sound of it was all he needed to fall over the edge. He burred himself as deep as he possibly could, his fingers flicked her nub one last time and she shattered. She tried to be silent and was for the most part, Kenshin on the other hand failed. He roared with his completion, and grunted with each wave that signaled each release of his seed. They collapsed together. Kenshin pinned her to the ground for only a moment before he lifted himself with one shaky arm. Carefully, he eased himself out of the warm comfortable place that was Kaoru and stretched out beside her. She trembled and turned towards him. Kenshin pulled her close, letting her bury her face in his neck.

"Sweet Kaoru, are you alright?" He asked, suddenly afraid he went too fast after all. Was he too rough. But the girl did nothing but moan gently against his skin, her body still shaking and twitching.

She was still coming down from the high, Kenshin realized with a smile as he traced his finger tips up and down her spine. "Kaoru?" He pressed after she finally relaxed.

"M'fine." She muttered, pulling away just enough to look at him. Her smile was lazy and her eyes heavy lidded.

Kenshin sighed softly and wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. He buried his face in her hair as emotion threatened to choke him. Kaoru was content to let him lay quietly, her fingers trailed lightly up and down his arm.

"Are you alright?" She asked after the silence went on.

"I'm more than alright." He murmured against her neck. "I'm with the woman I've loved from afar. And now you are here, in my arms." He tightened his arms around her.

"I'm glad you got into a fight." Kaoru said suddenly, turning to look at him. "Whatever it was that was said. It brought out these feelings. How long would we have gone without each other if it didn't happen?"

She was right. What would have happened if Sano didn't want to hang around and play dice? If the fight never happened his feelings for Kaoru never would have taken over. How many more days, months, years would they have danced around each other as friends? He didn't want to think about it. It was fate that the fight had started. Now he was in Kaoru's arms. And that was all that mattered.

A/n I wanted to cut the ending short or else I risked letting myself continue the story on to the next day. Perhaps at some point I will give this it's own standalone story. But for now I'm going to concentrate on the new stories I've posted.
I will shamelessly plug my newest story. A Page and Her Knight. Kenshin is a Dragon rider who rescues Kaoru, who is a slave, from the hands of a cruel master. He then keeps her as his page to care for him and his dragon. She is thankfull but still sees him and his people as the enemy. But slowly her views change.
It's a brand new story that I've worked on this past year. If you do read, please review and let me know how you like it so far. I am super nervous that it's not something readers are looking for. Do you like fantasies? Let me know.
In writing this chapter I've realized that I'm not as good at writing lemon as I thought I was. I'm not sure, I know writers are hard on themselves. So please review Dear Readers and tell me if I suck at it hahah! Thanks for reading!
