Chapter 14:

"You can take a seat if you want."

She blushed as he looked up from his computer with irritated eyes. She just nodded her head and scurried over to the couch, all the while scolding herself. As she set her face in her hands, she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Looking up, she was surprised to see him offer her a glass of red wine. She couldn't help laughing a little while cradling the glass in her hands as he sat down beside her, setting the bottle on the coffee table.

"What's this for?" she asked.

He shrugged, "I got a tip that you were coming over."

Mokuba had told him…How thoughtful? But she wasn't sure she was that thrilled to have been expected. Taking a sip of the wine, she smiled at the faint taste of fruit. She glanced at the bottle, "So, what kind of wine is this?"

"Merlot." He savored the taste of it in his mouth before turning those blue eyes to her, "Hints of plum or berry…" He reached out to her, fingertips pressed to her bottom lip, "Soft…" Caressing her cheek, he smirked as she leaned against his hand, "Fleshy…" He gave her a little pinch that made her scowl, "All complete within a medium body."

She half expected him to suddenly kiss her, but he just mused over his victory while she stared at him, dumbfounded. What kind of a dick move was that anyway? She took a long drink from her glass, convinced it would calm her down, but it didn't. It just made her world shift and set a wild flame inside her chest. When she finished her first drink, she laughed as he was quick to refill her glass, "Is this where we start exchanging childhood stories?"

Seto rolled his eyes, "I've got none for you if that's the case."

"So, tell me a secret." She inched over to him, sitting back on her legs, "I'm sure you've got plenty of those."

He refilled his glass, mulling that notion over in his head, "I was an orphan." He gave a hollow laugh, "When my parents died, the rest of my relatives stole what inheritance I had and dumped me at an orphanage with my brother."

"How did you become a CEO?"

At any given time, he'd have never agreed to talk about his life. But he was halfway through a second glass and he figured he could have one person know who he was, "Gozaburo Kaiba was staging a publicity stunt and seeing that he was a well off individual, I challenged him to the game that he was world renowned for." He was smirking now, taking another drink of his Merlot, "I played him in a game of chess with the stakes being that if I won, he had to adopt my brother and me."

"How old were you?"

Now that gave him plenty of room to brag… "I was ten."

Gwen's eyes were wide and she took a large sip of her drink, "I hardly think you're human, Mister Kaiba."

"There aren't many people in the corporate world that are." He was surprised to find that he had already finished his second drink. Would a third be reasonable? When he saw her refill her glass, he figured why not. He'd curse himself a thousand times over depending on where the situation went, but the alcohol was helping cloud that sharp judgment of his, "You've now heard the story of 'Orphan Seto', so what's yours?"

"Mine's not nearly as extraordinary as yours." She slid off the couch, parking herself on the floor while setting her glass on the coffee table. Tucking her knees to her chest, she smiled as best she could, "From the time I was seven, my mother had me in pageants, convinced I'd be the perfect young lady. I grew up understanding that being quiet meant I'd get a bedtime story." She choked on a laugh, grabbing her glass to drink down any further emotion, "Then I met Niall."

Seto sat down beside her, trying to get a better look at her expression, "How long has he served you?"

"Seven years." Gwen lifted her head with a smile, "He gave me an idea of what freedom meant. He was whirlwind adventurer straight from the mountains of his Irish home, who had a lot to learn about the city." She sighed, "He taught me about dreaming and wanting what was best for me. My mother was infuriated, but my father had a way of calming her down."

"But you're still a Beauty Pageant broad."

She punched his shoulder, "And you're still an asshole."

He raised his glass to her, "Please continue. I was actually interested."

"Of course, you were…" She rolled her eyes, despite choosing to keep going, "I enjoyed being in Beauty Pageants. It gave me a chance to dress up and perform." Her eyes turned to her glass as she swished the liquid around, "Niall once told me that my father was disappointed that my mother continued pushing me through them. He wanted me to pursue something else."

"Like chess?"

She turned her eyes to him, "How did you know that?"

"I came across an article about you." He shrugged, "You were quite good at it, if I'm correct?"

She set her glass aside after a long sip, feeling a tug at the world beneath her, "Is it alright if we skip the rest of this?"

"I'm glad you said it before me." He stretched his arms to the ceiling before resting his glass next to hers, "My only curiosity, is why you came here?"

Gwen scooted herself closer to him, blushing as she set her hand down and accidently bumped his. But as she drew away, he took her wrist, keeping her at bay with his tantalizing gaze. There was a burning in her chest, though it wasn't from the wine. What was she supposed to do? Her answer would have sounded ridiculous! Her cheeks flared red as she noticed how close they were, breathing in tandem, lips so close. It wouldn't take much-

She kissed him. It was quick, nothing more than a curious peck that left them both with wide eyes. She covered her mouth while shaking her head furiously. When she noticed that he looked perturbed, she began to apologize, "I'm so sorry. I don't know what the hell I was thinking! Oh my God, it was just an impulse! It's not like I really wanted to kiss you. Just a slip up! I'm sorry- I should just leave-!"

Gwen was silenced as Seto brought her face into his hands and pressed his lips to hers. She wanted to melt, though she was restraining herself from embracing him. Shoving him backward, she slapped him despite that it had been what she wanted. Face the darkest shade of red; she stared at him with wide eyes while he recovered from where she hit him.

"Damn it!" He glowered at her, "You're the one who kissed me!"

She shook her head furiously, "That doesn't mean you can kiss me!"

"You are fucking ridiculous!"

There was another kiss, a tangle of tongues until they both pushed each other away. They were breathing heavily, still trying to comprehend what was happening.

"I really think I should leave," Gwen muttered, standing up and making her way to the door.

He waited a moment, calculating the way she lingered. Part of him knew that she was curious about him- Hell, he was even curious about her! But the last thing he wanted was her to become the one thing that he let walk away. He was Seto Kaiba, for God's sake! If there was something he wanted, he damn well got it. Sauntering up behind her, he slid his hands along her stomach, feeling for her succulent breasts as he made his trek along her chest.

She was alarmed when she felt his hands against her, yanking her back into himself. Soft, defeated sounds leaked from her lips in little gasps while he gently kneaded her breasts, her head lolling onto his shoulder so he could bite at her exposed neck. Buckling in his arms when his thumb found a pert nipple, she tried to break herself away from him. Wiggling an arm loose, she elbowed him in the stomach. Distance finally created, she whirled on him to see him smirking, staring at her from under eyes heavy with desire.

"You're certainly feistier than I ever gave you credit for." He walked up to her, cornering her up against the wall. He gripped her chin and forced her eyes up to his, "Shall we test your resistance?"

She shook her head, though she fell victim to him when his lips found hers, his tongue trying to force itself into the dark caverns of her mouth. Fighting against his strong taste, she broke their kiss in an attempt to halt him. Staring into those sapphire blue eyes, she sighed heavily. What was so irresistible about him? She licked her lips, maddened by the heat his body gave off, before throwing her arms around his neck. Mouth meeting his, she moaned as he hoisted her off her feet, pushing her up against the wall.

There was truth in that she had experienced a minor tangle or two, but there was something so different in the way this all started. He wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer, no matter what she said. Hooking her legs around his waist, she rocked her hips into his, which made him growl. His erection was throbbing for freedom from all their barriers, the only relief being pressing himself between her trembling thighs. Mouths falling apart, she worked kisses along his jaw, breathing heavily in his ear.

Seto groaned, face pressed to her shoulder while she bit on his ear, tongue tracing along the lobe. He hissed as she softly moaned, whispering dirty promises that made him buck against her. When he heard her laugh, he pulled himself away, but she gave him a shove that sent him into the floor. He stared up at her while she swung her hips to no rhythm, but the sight of it made him shutter with excitement.

"Do you want me?" she giggled.

Seto nodded his head, grabbing her wrist and yanking her onto the floor. His mouth met hers before she could protest while he pulled her up onto his lap, pleased to feel her thick thighs around his waist. Hands moving under her t-shirt, he let their lips part for a moment so he could discard the bothersome article of clothing. He tossed it over his shoulder while kissing her again; afraid she'd continue to yammer about wanting to leave.

He tangled his fingers into her mess of hair, yanking out the tie holding it together, mesmerized by the way her raven locks cascaded down her shoulders and over her bare breasts. Such smooth skin, and he longed to feel it against his own. He smirked as she unbuttoned his shirt, pulling it off his shoulders to leave his tie askew around his neck, hands feeling for each twitching muscle. He sighed for a moment to listen to her soft moans as she rocked her hips down against his.

Hands slithering over her stomach, she bucked her hips against his as kneaded her plump breasts, trying to force her to cry out in pleasure. Her mouth fell from his as she tilted her head back, fighting the fire in her chest while biting her bottom lip. His lips ravaged each inch of exposed skin, and when he bit on her shoulder, she let out a tiny yelp. She pushed him backward, grabbing his wrists and locking them above his head, despite that she knew he was stronger than her.

"Mister Kaiba, I don't think this is a good idea."

He leaned his face up to hers, capturing her lips in a kiss that rendered her defenseless. She melted into his lurid embrace, though every muscle in her was fighting him. She was so tense. Welcoming his hands, she gasped when he ran his thumb over a pert nipple. She managed to halt his torture by yanking his shirt off. He rolled over top her, wanting to take a picture of her surrendered eyes. Her hair was fanned out in a halo around her while she breathed heavily, a hot and bothered mess with cheeks flushed red.

"Mister Kaiba, I'm not sure-"

He trailed kisses along her jaw, which made her whimper, "Call me Seto…"

Gwen flinched as he yanked her pants off her, tossing them onto the couch before he ravaged her neckline. She could feel his teeth scraping against untouched skin, leaving love bites until she was squirming from the mix of pleasure and pain. Meeting his gaze, she tried not to flinch at the craze of lust that stared back at her. He kissed his way down her stomach, hands sliding up along her thighs to grab the edge of her silk panties. He tugged them down her legs, leaving kisses on the insides of her thighs while working his way lower. Her muscles were so tense that she was shaking as he discarded the thin garment.

She crossed her legs, embarrassed that he was staring at her naked body. His fingers slid along the inside of her thighs, tickling the sensitive skin until she allowed him to pull them apart. He gave her a glance, as if he wanted her to guess what he was going to do next. She swallowed hard and when his fingertip circled around her entrance, she covered her mouth to muffle a tiny scream. That seemed to make his smirk come to life.

He leaned over her, finger sliding in to the second knuckle, "That's right…I want to hear you scream..."

She kept her hand over her mouth as a second digit entered her, his fingers scissoring inside her maiden sheath. Her mind was growing foggy as he probed at her pearl, sending vibrations of uncontrollable pleasure thought her abdomen. Meeting his gaze, she let her hand drop so she could kiss him. She allowed his tongue to slide into her mouth, tasting each corner that was stained with wine. Her hips thrust against his hand, wanting more than just his fingers inside of her, but he was taking his sweet time with her.

His mouth fell from hers while he let a third finger circle around her nether lips. When he saw her close her eyes and throw her head back, biting on a howl, he pushed a third digit into her to see if he could make her hit her release early. He wouldn't mind fucking her when she was weakened. He wanted to test her tolerance and resistance. Tongue flicking over a pert nipple, she let a tiny cry escape her lips, though it was halted by her hands covering her mouth. He watched her face contort, her muscles constrict, but she grabbed hold of his wrist to stop his probing.

"N-Not y-yet…" She breathed heavily, hoping to regain a bit of her composure, "Please…?"

Seto withdrew his fingers from her, bringing them to his lips. He licked her sweet essence from every digit; a sight that made her shiver with the way his tongue ran over each inch of skin to taste her. He ran his hand over her thigh, sliding himself down between her legs. Her eyes grew wide and her body hitched when she felt his warm, wet tongue slip inside of her. Oh, fuck. She clawed at the carpeted floors while trying to remain in control of her aching abdomen.

This so wasn't fair! She was trying to push his tongue further inside of her, but he was keeping his distance to remain in control. Her walls were trembling, wanting to collapse around his hot tongue that slithered around her sheath. What sick enjoyment was he getting out of this? She didn't want that release yet, though it was incredibly difficult to deny her body that sensation.

"S-Seto- Ah!" Her hands balled into fists as he greedily licked her folds, circling closer to her clit, "No-Not y-yet!"

He sat up, staring down at her with irritation, "Then when, Princess?" She was breathing unsteadily, so angry that he could remain so calm. Was he even aroused? Glancing down along his body, she blushed at the sight of the bulge in his pants. That certainly answered her question. He climbed over her again, licking his lips, "Think you can handle me?"

"I wouldn't expect you to take it easy on me." She grabbed hold of his tie, yanking him down to her and kissing him fiercely. His tongue slid over hers, but she didn't buckle under him. She gave him a little push backward, setting him to sitting upright while her hands slinked over his abdomen. He unbuckled his pants, guiding her hand further down, but she wasn't quick to consent. She leaned up to him, pressing her lips to his ear, "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"I don't think I need to answer that." He grimaced as her teeth pulled at his earlobe, restraining himself from throwing her backward and just fucking her senseless. He could certainly be that aggressive, but he was curious about what she could do, "You don't do well with control, do you?"

She laughed, hand sliding into his pants to fist him through his shorts. He bucked against her soft caresses, not at all pleased with her being so passive, "Oh really? I think I handle it just fine."

Grunting, he caught her with a glare, but it seemed to fuel her giddiness. She continued with her teasing while he bit on her neck, suckling the skin until she gave him a hard squeeze. The action cut him off guard and he nearly toppled backward. Her hand moved up and down his length, but the sensation wasn't enough for him.

"Quit cheating me…" he growled.

She smirked, pulling her hand away, "What was that you're bitching about?"

He grabbed her wrist, "Damn it, put it back."

"I don't think you're in a position to negotiate." Her fingertips ran over the band of his boxers, which made his face contort, stricken by his lust for her, "How badly do you need it?"

"Bad enough that I'm getting annoyed with your antics…"

Gwen giggled with delight, hand sliding into his shorts. His features contorted as she ran each finger along his length, teasing his head as she came back down. He moved along with each drawn out stroke, still not pleased with her lack of urgency. He wasn't a very patient person to begin with. His hand clasped over hers, setting her fingers tighter around him. Catching her spiteful eyes, he saw her gaze darken with shadows of lust.

"Someone's awfully needy…" she hummed.

"Sex works two ways." He wrinkled his nose when her fingers tried to loosen around him, but he wasn't about to have that, "I pleasure you and you pleasure me."

She rolled her eyes, "I don't see how that's reasonable."

"What would you know about sex anyway?"

"I have an idea about it."

She winked at him while fisting him harder, reveling in the way he hissed against her shoulder, pushing himself against her hand. She gave into his neediness. He wasn't going to verbally tell her what he wanted, but he was going to use every other piece of body language to send the message to her. She was pumping him faster, musing at the control she had over him. He was slave to her for the moment, and if she promised to pleasure him, then she could probably get anything that she wanted…

Seto groaned, hunching over a bit while his abdomen tightened. He didn't exactly want to explode in his pants, but she was jacking him off hard. Was he enjoying himself? Of course! That sweet sensation of being so high above the clouds was a dangerous guilty pleasure, and he wanted more of it. Damn, what he would give to see her on her knees, sucking him off, though he didn't figure she was willing to do that, despite that he had tasted each inch of her.

When he thought that release had hit, he was left with emptiness as she pulled her hand away, eyes dancing merrily. He collapsed backward; trying not to howl in agony at the pounding of his erection, which was painfully stiff. Now he was beginning to understand just what his ministrations did to her. He shivered as he felt her warm body slide over his, and he thought he might have just dove over the edge from the friction between her skin and his.

"Anything else you need, Mister Kaiba?"

"I'm pretty sure I told you to call me Seto."

She shrugged, tapping her fingers on his chest, "Am I supposed to always do what I'm told?"

"It would be appreciated." He smirked as she discarded his pants, "Impatient, are we?"

She rolled her eyes, "You've succeeded in turning me on. If you waste anymore time, then I might just not be interested anymore."

Gwen yelped as Seto threw her backward, but his debonair grin set her heart racing. Damn, she wanted him. Stretching her arms above her head, she gave him a wink while he tossed aside his tie before removing his shorts. Her face beamed a dark shade of red and she tried not to stare at his erect phallus. She licked her lips, savoring the next kiss that he set against her mouth.

It was pure fire, searing hot, though too desirable to escape from. Her chest burst into flames and she swore she was in the Darkest Pits of Hell, licked by the Fires of Lust. Her tongue ached for the taste of a thousand foreign spices that crashed against her mouth, though it was not enough to satisfy her hunger. When his lips fell from hers, she felt a sudden gust of wind that ripped any form of heat from her body. She was cold, shivering as he stared down at her with those sapphire blue eyes-

And damn him for his sultry gaze!

"No regrets, Gwen."

Her eyes were wide, constantly replaying that sound in her head. What was so transfixing about the way her name rolled off his tongue? It was concern laced inside his usual demanding voice and it sounded like sweet music to her ears. She smiled up at him, flicking his hair from his eyes, "No regrets, Seto."

She felt her body relax against the carpeted floors, her mind released from any further worry. He drew her legs up along his waist, fingers stroking her warm flesh. There was a last glance, a last 'No regrets' before the world stopped turning and a bond she was afraid to understand was made.

She couldn't help flinching at his first thrust inside of her. It was a tight fit and she knew if she didn't relax again then it would hurt. He drew out of her, just enough to make her whimper, before driving himself hard into her. The rhythm was painfully blissful, the way he pulled out slow and slammed back into her. Her legs were trembling for more of this sweet sin, but he was once more taking his time with her. She clawed at his arms, mewling senseless things in hopes that he'd go faster.

"S-Seto…" She arched up into him, nails biting into skin, "H-Harder…Oh God please…hn…!"

He stopped for a moment, staring down at her with the widest smirk on his lips, "You sure you want it harder?"

"Fuck!" She bit on her bottom lip as he thrust back into her, sheathing himself deep inside her, "God, I n-need it f-faster!"

"You and your needs…"

Head thrown back, she bucked her hips against his as he abided to her wishes. He was thrusting in and out of her, savoring how her nails dug in his sweaty muscles and she mewled in his ear. He was pounding harder, faster into her, though that sweet release wasn't hitting either of them. He was growing desperate for it, driving himself as deep as he could into her. She bit at his ear while trying to force down a scream. But that was becoming more and more difficult.

And he knew that.

"Scream…" he hissed, pace quickened to an animalistic thrust.

"Hn…Oh, God no…!" His head rested against the crook of her neck while she pressed herself as tightly against him as possible, "N-Need it n-now…So close-Ah!"

She wasn't sure where her mind went, but the rest of her body was shuddering. So close to something more than they both thought it to be. She was trying to force down any sound in her throat, but Seto wasn't about to let that happen.

He bit at her neck, leaving yet another territorial mark on her, "Scream for me."

Gwen let out a cry that shattered the silence of their lovemaking. Her climax washed out of her, having been bottled up for too long during his ministrations. Her nails left crescent marks in his shoulders while she yelled out to the night the one thing that was ringing through her ears, the one thing that plagued her fantasies, "Seto!"

He shuddered through his climax, hot seed spilling inside her wet sheath. His breathing was labored, the air too musky for him to drawn in any breath. Bracing himself against collapsing, he withdrew from her throbbing walls that were closing around him. He shook his head with a laugh while leaning down to kiss her brow.

"Did we really just…?"

"It was worth it."

Gwen smiled, her body shaking with exhaustion, "Will you stay with me?"

"Until the end…"

He wasn't sure where those words came from, but they felt right. He stared down into those grey eyes, the ones that paralyzed him. She had enchanted him beyond any human comprehension. Nestling his head against her chest, he closed his eyes to listen to the pounding of her heart that sang in tandem with his. She ran her fingers through his hair, too exhausted to argue or move.

"Why this, Seto?" she murmured.

He looked up at her with tired eyes, "A kiss would have never been enough for me." He sat up, staring about his empty office where the sound of her screaming his name still rung off the walls. Such a beautiful sound… "Knowing me, knowing you- I could only see it as this."

"I don't think you know me just yet." She blushed while grabbing his collared shirt and sliding it on, suddenly feeling awkward to be naked and cold, "It was just sex."

He laughed a little, "Is that all it was?" She didn't reply while staring down at the floor. Her face went red as he followed her eyes to find what it was that she was looking at. His brow furrowed, "Is that…blood?"

Gwen blushed furiously, crossing her legs, "It's nothing serious-"

"That's blood?" He was trying not to sound alarmed, "Why is there blood?"

She buried her face in her hands while muttering a response, "You popped my cherry…"

"Your cherry?" He wasn't sure what to say to her. Granted, he'd heard about such a thing, but he was more confused about… "So, you were a virgin."

"Yes…"

He breathed deeply, not so sure what to say to her other than that he was surprised, "I didn't expect that."

"Well, thanks." She scowled, "I'm not a whore."

"I never said that." He slid his shorts back on while grabbing his bottle of wine, "I just didn't expect to be your first one."

She gratefully accepted the glass he handed her, but she took a moment before sipping on it, "I didn't exactly think you'd be my first either. Funny, what life can throw at you…"

"If it's any consolation…" He wasn't sure why he was going to admit it, but he was pretty sure the wine had something to do with it. He bit at the insides of his mouth before finally speaking, "…you were my first as well."

She tried not to laugh at that, which resulted in her snorting, "That's the real shocker." She raised her glass to him, "Here's to first times that might be our lasts."

He grinned, beckoning her closer. She shook her head at first, but soon found herself crawling back over to him. Holding her face in his hands, he kissed her, tasting berry and plum at each corner of her mouth. They stared at each other, too high with wine and lust to bother worrying about the aftermath of it all. He pushed his shirt off her, hand sliding along the rise and fall of her curves.

"I wouldn't want it to be our last."

She batted her eyes at him, "Why is that?"

"I've got a few more things I'd like to try."

She was on her back again, his lean, muscular body bearing down on hers, "I was hoping you'd say that."
