Let's Go!

Chapter Twenty One

Pain And Pleasure

"Ummm….ngh!"

Zero's body bowed up as Kaname invaded his mouth. There was nothing harsh in it. In fact it was so tender, Zero melted under the deluge of warmth. "Mmmmnnnn!" He moaned, head tipping back under the divine pressure of Kaname's kiss. What the hell was going on? He'd always had some resistance to Kaname's charm. But this was different. His body became malleable under Kaname's perfect touch. His legs fell open further, giving Kaname all access. Kaname's tongue dove deep, slipping along his own until if felt as if it were submerged in his throat. His misgivings faded somewhat beneath Kaname's ardent seduction. His husband loomed over him, mouth pressing almost desperately down over his. He flushed with the heat, his tongue returning the bold foray unbidden, tasting the brunette's fiery flavor, letting the large, strong body dominate his. He had no leverage with his hands tied, the soft fur agitating the new bite on his wrist. He shuddered as a shot of pleasure shocked through him. Kaname's fingers pushed the fur aside pressing down over the slightly swollen marks. His mate shook above him as the sensations assailed them, locking them in an intense vortex of sizzling reaction. Sweat beaded at his temple as the heat took over, sweeping up his spread form. He writhed, trying to escape the fever.

Kaname! What are you doing?

Haven't you realized yet? Kaname's mental voice slid through him, strong and unhurried, completely opposite his small, weak one. That last bite was the most binding. No escape Zero. You're mine until the world ceases to exist.

Zero stiffened, his cheeks red. I thought the bonding was unbreakable anyway? Why go further?

You only have yourself to blame after that little stunt. Kaname's anger leaked through the silk of their bond. He pressed a little harder and Zero had no chance of stopping the throaty cry that fell from his throat as the pleasure became too much swelling over him in an unstoppable tide. Kaname's mental words came to him distantly through the heated flood.

I can't take the chance that you'll find another way. What else has Seiren been teaching you?

Zero panicked, desperately reaching for those trusted walls that he'd used time and time again, flinching in anticipation of the pain caused by the force with which he was going to slam them closed between them, finally trying to turn his head and escape Kaname's bold, tender kiss.

Kaname chuckled and let him go, mouth skimming down to nuzzle at his pulse.

And flooded his entire being.

Horrified, Zero realized that the time of walls between them was gone. As much as he scrambled to pull them down, the walls were non-existent, escaping his panicked struggles as Kaname's satisfaction filled him.

His mate entered his mind on a wave of darkness. It was very different from earlier when he'd walked Kaname's mind with the proverbial flashlight. Dark mental footprints etched in his mind as his mate walked his psyche. The light that was a natural part of him, seeped between the cracks of those footprints, curling around the dark like an embracing lover. As they shouldn't have, the two twined like natural components and Zero gasped as the resonance echoed through him. The energy crackled between them, a live wire in the fullest. Zero tried to shy away from it. Kaname held him firmly though, mentally and physically. The gratification was quickly overwhelming everything else felt between them.

That's why. Why you felt so safe. Smugness spread throughout the bond. Never fear, none of that will work on me now.

"Too bad, you may have been able to pull it off if you hadn't started with the seal."

Zero's jaw clenched. Damnit it was the only thing he could think of at the time. Kaname was larger than life, his presence filling the whole of the mansion. He knew that all the denizens could feel it. His King could only be stopped by a gesture over the top, hence the seal. He'd known that it wouldn't stop his husband indefinitely, but it had granted him a certain amount of peace in the few days that he hadn't been next to Kaname. Not that his husband had really allowed that, haunting his dreams and what not.

Zero

Zero stilled, captured, spread out underneath his husband, blind to all except the physical sensation of his husband touching him and that infernal voice in his head soft with love and hard with lust. It seemed that Kaname eclipsed his entire universe, leaning over him, his hands skating across sensitive skin. He felt Kaname's amusement, his utter delight at having his mate underneath him. Helpless and at his mercy.

He took a deep breath, determinedly quieting his mind, calming.

"Kaname."

His mate froze, all movement halted. It was his voice. It was a voice Zero rarely used with him. It was soft and…..deep, cajoling…..seducing.

Kaname was highly receptive to that voice. It seemed to chain him, always leaving Zero feeling like he had a lion on a leash. Even though he wasn't touching him, Zero could tell he was intensely interested. He had to make him very interested. He let his voice blur with a slight breathlessness. "Kaname, I want you to release the cuffs, I want to touch you. I want you to touch me. We don't need restraints between us. I won't leave again."

That snapped Kaname out of his fascinated trance.

"Leave? You won't anyway."

Kaname flexed his will and the world around him vibrated. He laughed as he felt his husband's shock and answered his unspoken question. "The product of mating an ancient vampire with the strongest scion House Kiryuu had seen in a long while. With every bite we've only become stronger," he paused and the menacing aura in the room increased. "Our children will be even stronger."

So strong it would cause a village to hunt monsters.

Kaname chuckled. There was no mirth evident. "If anyone comes for our children, the last thing they will see will be their own throats."

Zero shivered, his temperature spiking. Kaname threatening violence on his and their children's' behalf caused his half-hard cock to rise from his stomach. "Please Kaname!"

Suddenly he was pleading with his mate. Kaname's heat was soaking into the thin skin of his belly, though his mate hadn't touched him yet except for his tongue in his mouth and his hands in his hair. He wanted more and less. He wanted Kaname buried in him and away from him all at the same time.

Reading his emotions, his mate dropped lower so that his belly was just above the round of Zero's newly pregnant belly, just barely touching. "You can't escape, that time has long since passed. Why won't you just give me what I need?"

"What is it that you need?" Zero asked, speaking out loud to distract his mate, knowing his desire. The new strength of the bond hid nothing.

"You, unvarnished and all of the children that befits our house. All of you." He felt his husband's eyes on him. "I want every bit of you, down to the darkest lock on your soul, Haven't I been saying this?" Kaname queried softly. "But you always deny me, even now after five years you are still a mystery to me." A press of fingers over his eyes. "These deep eyes hide a world." Brief compression over his chest. "This heart. I want that world Zero."

A bolt of fear drenched lust shot through him, knowing that now Kaname could have all he wanted without the barriers between them, and Kaname wouldn't hesitate to delve into the depths of him. That he hadn't yet, was a complete surprise to him. But Kaname was balancing on some territorial precipice when it came to him. He was gentle in all that things that concerned him, outside of any one hurting him. He'd treated him so masterfully that Zero had fallen without a battle.

And yet he'd never taken Zero's most private world. The feeling buried and hidden away in the depths of him.

Until now.

He felt Kaname's intent, his absolute desire to possess all of him.

He gave a sharp shake of his head. "It's no use Kaname. You have that already. You've walked my mind since the beginning of this association. What else can I give you? You live in my mind day and night, there's not an hour that I don't think about you. I crave you when you're not near me." His words faltered as Kaname's eyes took on a speculative gleam. Then his tone edged out, sharp and bitter with anger.

"You want to see deep inside me? Fine, in the depths of me I despise not being able hate you and walk away. You took over because of a little provocation. You took my life and and melded it to yours irrevocably. And yet, throughout the entire ordeal you never once bothered to get my consent! And now….." He trailed off here, confusion and desire hitting him like sharp silver bullets. "I hate that I can't hate you!"

The tension left his body and he sagged against the mattress. "I want to so badly, that I can't-Nmnnh!"

His words were crammed down his throat suddenly as Kaname's mouth covered his once again, halting the virulent words, his mouth soft upon his. Once again it held none of the anger that he expected from his bonded. But why should he be surprised? His mate had never mistreated him physically. Or mentally if you didn't count the times that he'd gone against his will.

Desire built from his husband's mouth on his, but as his desire began to grow so did his self loathing. He'd succumbed, suffered the worst at this man's hands and still he desired him, still he caved whenever Kaname touched gasped, his breath hitching even as his need grew. He couldn't help it, couldn't deny it as his body responded to Kaname's ardent caress. Twining with his self disgust it was a potent mixture of dark and light that poured through the bond.

The heated darkness tightened inside of him as Kaname and his beast alike surged through the bond in response to his frantic emotions. He whimpered into his husband's mouth, jerking against his restraints. Suddenly Kaname was perched between his legs, balancing lightly as his mouth trailed down his throat, that sinful tongue dancing over his mark.

He tensed, but his husband didn't tarry, his lips sliding down over the flushed skin of his chest and torso until his mouth grazed the the slight, taut curve of his belly.

I love you

Do you? His mental voice snapped, cutting through Kaname's seduction for the moment. It seems more like obsession!

Kaname breathed over the sensitive mound where his children rested, making Zero shiver. Are they different?

He was too surprised to answer with any coherence, Kaname's cheek never failed to amaze him.

That kind of thinking is what got us into this situation.

No, you avoiding the subject is what got us into this situation, Kaname returned silkily, his lips slipping back and forth, threatening Zero's mental capabilities.

There was no arguing with a mad man. In that instant he bitterly regretted having ever accepted Kaname's offer to feed from him.

Mine, Kaname snarled. You would have come to me eventually and I would have taken you just the same.

The statement filled him with a sense of dreadful rightness given their tumultuous past relationship.

He turned his face away, tears burning his eyes.

"Shit!"

Kaname straightened, unclasping the chains, and ripping away the blindfold abruptly, his aura lashing the room. His voice was deep and guttural, a sure sign that he was partially merged with his beast, their desire to protect their mate of one ideal.

He found himself in Kaname's lap, long fingers anchored in his hair so he couldn't look away. His husband's eyes were pools of tender ferociousness, blazing in his dark leonine face. His long legs were akimbo around Kaname's hips, his own weight pushing his cock against his King's. His burning flesh sliding against his own.

"One day you will accept that everything I've done is for the good of our family. For our kingdom. I won't let us falter!"

He stared up into the impassioned eyes, his heart shattering with two different emotions. This time there were no protests as his King laid him on his back and covered him, his kiss softer but no less insistent in it's hunger. He surrendered to the pleasure of his husband's touch, his mind blank of anything else as their tongues cavorted in a lazy dance of desire. Kaname's hands stroked over his long body, gently, rebuilding his need slowly, He arched obligingly when Kaname cupped his ass, tilting him up to rub their cocks together languidly, the tips of his fingers delving in to rub over the throbbing entrance to his body. He moaned around Kaname's tongue, his arms curling around broad shoulders.

The teasing game was over for the moment, Kaname's caresses firm and steady as he led him away from melancholy and back into the bright haze of their mutual hunger. He tried to keep Kaname from moving even as he slipped away, dragging his tongue out of his throat, nipping at his bottom lip gently.

"Don't worry Amaya I just want to take care of you. To cherish what is mine."

His voice was so low. So soft.

Zero nodded his assent, never looking away, the slow bliss inundating his needy body. His marks flared pulsing in tandem with Kaname's heart and he stifled a groan, heat washing down his body. One night with his husband hadn't been enough to assuage his need, he acknowledged as Kaname's lips closed over a silver beaded nipple, tasting delicately, sucking lightly just before he sucked powerfully. When Zero moaned, unable to help his reaction, arching up into the warm heat, his husband grinned around the nipple, his expression wicked.

His eyes observed every wanton reaction Zero had to give at his ministrations.

Possessive satisfaction.

Kaname's emotions crashed into his own obliterating all but the want he tried to withhold. He writhed, pleading silently with his body.

A large, warm hand landed on his hip, steadying him as Kaname' s mouth moved to the other nipple, bringing it to the same red, aroused state just as slowly.

Zero tugged at Kaname's hair sharply.

"Kaname!"

Kaname nipped, bringing blood to the surface, sucking intently of the red, life giving substance

"You taste sublime Amaya. I can't wait to taste the rest of you."

Zero's thought process stuttered as a quick flick of Kaname's thought flitted though his mind.

Kaname chuckled in response, sliding further down his body in a sensual slide. He abandoned his playground to grip Zero's hard, turgid tumescence.

"Here?" He breathed, his warm breath bathing the tip.

"Kaname!" Zero yelped, gripping his hair tighter.

"Or maybe not."

Zero almost whined when the heat disappeared, only to slide over the taut curve that housed his children The warmth spread inside, reacting to Kaname's closeness, his unique scent, prodding him, even in his raged state. His husband's plush lips caressed the soft skin, behind his knee, down the satiny inside of his thigh, his fangs scrapping as he went bringing delicious blood to the surface. He licked, sinking into the taste of Zero's skin, his blood. It was exquisite. His mate was so sweet his head spun. His skin felt tight over his bones as his beast seemed to test the boundaries of it.

Kaname lost himself in the liquid pleasure of his mate's skin under his lips. His little hunter was the epitome of stunning. He gleamed in the low light, open and bare to Kaname's gaze. He looked into his eyes as he worshipped the flesh, lips now sliding in tight circles..

His next bite was on Zero's ankle, his tongue swirling on Zero's soft, thin skin, but he couldn't wait and his mouth was back at the tall, piqued stalk, beads of pearly fluid beckoning his mouth. He hummed in appreciation, his lips catching the them, licking up the liquid before opening over the smooth head, tongue flickering out immediately to taste the deliquescent evidence of his mate's need.

Zero's whined became a moan, his hands sweeping down to clench in the silky strands of hair again.

Kaname mimicked him, mouth sinking lower, tasting more, Zero's honeyed scent and taste drenching his senses. He tasted better than he remembered sweeter, the children he was carrying within changing his biological makeup. He let him drown in his mate, the pleasure growing from the inside of them, skating over nerves and bones and tendons as the bond thrummed between them.

Zero panted and gasped above him, arching up, pushing himself deeper into Kaname's mouth. His king took him deeper, sucking relentlessly, a finger breaching his body as he breached Kaname's throat. A bolt of sensation thundered down their spines, the pleasure twofold as it assaulted them.

Kaname knew his mate was close, his body greedy for the pinnacle. He didn't make him wait, impatient to bury himself inside his husband's luscious body. He set up a steady, slicked rhythm, pushing Zero into the whirlwind of gratification. He withdrew slowly as Zero sagged back against the mattress, quivering in the aftermath, licking his lips as he quickly arranged himself over his husband's supine form.

Lambent, violet eyes opened slowly, dazed as he pressed against his twitching, ruched opening. Now that they weren't swept up in waves of commanding passion he felt Zero's discontent return like creeping shadows.

He wouldn't have that.

He slid in fully, in one deep smooth stroke.

His mate keened wildly, his eyes snapping shut against the hedonistic oblivion. The burgeoning thoughts shattered, both of them shuddering as the sensation burning along the lines that held their bond together. Kaname went completely still, his control shaking as he was encased in searing heat, savoring the tight clench of silken muscles around his shaft.

"Amaya," he purred, draped over the silverette his weight propped on his elbows. "You always feel so good." He leaned in nuzzling the stretched skin of his throat, causing Zero to whimper as he pressed in deeper. "I want to stay inside you forever just like this."

The world around them burned in sensuous opulence, the erotic fit of their bodies perfect, the heated atmosphere a flawless complement.

Kaname was content to let it blaze. He rocked slowly, not withdrawing an inch dragging the head of his cock against the center of Zero's body, enjoying the hitching breaths of his mate, letting the bliss crest in lingering waves. Zero's nails scraped restlessly over his shoulders as he tried to move. To create the friction that would drive him into climatic freewill. Kaname kept him pinned, forcing himself even deeper, capturing his mouth to slide his tongue into Zero's mouth tenderly matching the slow pace of his body.

His mate mewled into his mouth, his name a running litany in his mind as Kaname proceeded to destroy him delicately, never pulling out, ruthlessly pushing against his source of delight, keeping him on the edge, never pushing him over. Zero fought uselessly, hips arching up to establish a quicker speed, only succeeding in pressing Kaname harder against his prostate with no evident relief.

Move!

No

Kaname shook his head in negation, unwilling to remove his couldn't be deterred from his present course. He wanted to drown in his mate until every star fell from the sky and at the world was nothing but a husk of itself. The beast inside of him growled in agreement, content that they had their mate in their grasp, and their offspring were safe beneath them.

His mate was becoming frantic beneath him, pushing up against his body, legs quivering where they clasped his waist.

Harder Kaname!

Wait Amaya, let me….

Zero arched up strongly, whimpering again, jerking his head to the side to unlatching Kaname's mouth from his.

"Please!"

So impatient Amaya, He scolded gently. Nevertheless he withdrew, an in infinitesimal increment, powering back in forcefully, groaning when his mate's luscious channel clamped around him, sucking him in tightly.

"Shit!" He did it again, hands shifting to grip Zero's hips, pulling him up into the abbreviated thrusts.

"Mnnnnh! Ah!"

Kaname captured his mouth again, his mate's moan coupled with the rippling passage around him enough to send him into nirvana.

And he had other plans for tonight.

He kept his movements tightly controlled, still not pounding into the warm, pliant body under him. He plundered firmly, every push and thrust dragging against Zero's pleasure source, driving him towards erotic oblivion. Zero stiffened, the tension drawing him him ever upward, the consuming delight slamming into him with every forceful push. It bordered on pain and he would have begged except Kaname's mouth was making sure that his every gasp, moan and whimper was swallowed by his ravenous mouth, as his need spiraled ever upwards the bliss exploding through him rebounding on Kaname, a fiery storm of raw lust that obliterated every rational though. His channel tightened on Kaname as it swirled within him, his nails digging harshly into broad shoulders as he pleaded with his body instead.

He could feel it just there on the horizon, his clamoring body on knifes edge.

Suddenly Kaname grabbed his hand, stretching it out over his head as his fingers pressed down over the swollen bite on his wrist.

He screamed as fervid, earthy pleasure streamed through him, converging on his body in a carnal tidal wave. He jerked plastering his body to Kaname's as it gave way under the sensual battering, falling over the edge. The sudden release was stunning, the salacious ascendancy holding him tight for long moments of sultry insensibility.

He fell back against the bed in the aftermath, his breathing jagged. He was dimly aware of his husband withdrawing from his body, his own still in a state of fevered rigidity.

He was still limp in the aftermath of the thundering apex of their desire so he didn't protest when his husband rolled them over onto their sides, trapping him against his body with a strong forearm against his chest, cradling his head with his other arm and entered him again in one deft stroke.

"I never get enough of you," Kaname murmured into his ear, "From the first you've been perfect for me."

He withdrew halfway in a slow, drawn out slide, then plunged back in, relishing the hard gasp that bounced off the walls of their room. Zero began to shake in his hold trying to get closer and further away at the same time. His hips tilted, forcing himself down on Kaname until they were sealed tightly. "You can't get away. You are mine. From the first moment I saw you in the snow I knew. You've been running for too long Zero, let go, let me have all of you."

"You have all of me, " Zero moaned in response, delirious with excitement at having his husband inside him again.

"I want all the deepest, darkest parts of you." Kaname withdrew again forcing himself back in demandingly. "Give me all of you."

"Shit!" Zero couldn't stop the word or the plea. "Just fuck me already!"

"Oh I will Amaya," Kaname purred, suiting words to action, thrusting and withdrawing with abandon now, driving Zero to incoherent heights of delight.

And so it went on through the night, Kaname pushing him to the heights of pleasure in every position imaginable. On his knees, from the front, from the back, Zero on top, Kaname on the bottom, until they collapsed against one another in a sweaty, tangled heap of satisfied skin. Zero fell asleep wedged tightly to His King fucked and mindless.

And utterly secure.

TD

It was rare for him to wake after his husband. He missed his warmth and sweetness immediately and reached out through the bond, intent on locating him. It was no hard feat, the bond now connected them in ways no one else but bonded would comprehend. Not it was the turbulent emotions running through it that made him arise at once, forgetting his well rested state. Only taking care to shrug on a midnight robe of silk he went in search of his errant mate, finding him in the garden walking amongst the roses, Eiji not too far from him.

Zero was wearing Kaname's long white robe, his silver hair and skin shining in the twilight as he trailed delicate fingers over delicate blooms, pricking himself every so often. He answered the unspoken question as he came abreast of Eiji, both of them watching the silver consort.

"He is feeding them. They are made from his blood and as such it is only his blood that will preserve them. He feeds them as they need it. Which isn't very often." He stepped into the garden, knowing he would need privacy for this conversation. He didn't look at the raven haired survivor. "Leave us. He is perfectly safe with me."

Eiji inclined his head in respect and took his leave.

He overtook his husband in short order. When his husband turned to him, his violet eyes were as turbulent as the emotions rocking the bond.

"You hate me."

"I do not," Zero demurred. "But I really don't like you right now even after last night."

"Then what do you feel for me?"

Zero was silent for long moments. "Not hate surely, but anger." Zero turned to face him fully, not hiding the ire in his expression. "You have taken every right from me, destroyed the life that I had and you are unrepentant. But you are my mate and I cannot hate you." He rubbed at his marked wrist absently. "You are right I cannot leave you. But I won't suffer your presence right now. I cannot. I will be moving my things to a different room tonight. I ask that you don't not stop me as it would only make it worse. I ask that you do not touch me until I am ready again."

"You will need to feed-" Kaname began only to be cut off.

"And I will, but I will not sleep in the same bed as you as of yet. Maybe after the twins are born, but right now I can barely stand to look at you. A night of sex didn't change that. It is deeper than that Kaname Kuran. But you do not see that. You only see dominance. Only having your will obeyed. But I must state, once again that I am not your subject. I am your mate. Your equal. But you failed to see that and that is why we are in this place right now. Please do not seek to change my mind, I am set in this decision. I will be at headquarters if you really need me."

During this entire speech, Zero had not looked away from him, his gaze sorrowful.

At the end, he stepped around His King, gesturing to Eiji who was standing by the glass door of their former chambers.

Kaname turned to watch his departure through the door, astonished, the bond going flat between them.

And then the pain started.
