Chapter 19

Appassionato

In the elevator, they were all alone. The coast was clear and that meant some time to show some passion.

"You're impatient! Can't you wait till we get into our suite?" Kahoko broke the kiss, trying to catch her breath. But instead of answering, Azuma's hands climbed under her dress and stopped on her hips to massage them. Kahoko's eyes closed in pleasure as the heat in the small space of the elevator became almost unbearable.

"Ummm… S-Stop…" how easily could he undo her? His hands moved to her inner thighs.

"Do you know how beautiful your face is right now? A faint red…" his voice deep, his lips some millimeters away from her ear.

"What are you doing to do, if I 'faint' in here?" she managed to phrase. "I don't think you want such a thing to happen right now, right here."

"You've got a point. It will be no fun if I can't see your reactions while I have you in bed. But, can you wait for so long, since we've warmed up?"

Ding. The elevator's bell was heard and its doors opened.

"So long?" Kahoko crossed her arms and her look was somehow mocking his statement. "How long will it take for us to get 'prepared'? Two minutes?"

Azuma simply smirked and opened the door with the room's card. "Mademoiselle…" he showed her the inside of their suite while holding the door open for her.

"You are very 'polite', sir," she teased back, while taking off her shoes. He followed her and after taking off his shoes, he took off the jacket of his costume and threw it on the top of the sofa. Kahoko was now in front of the mirror, which was about above a set of drawers. She slowly took off her earrings one by one and turned to see him standing next to her.

"Three minutes," he said. "and I still haven't undressed you yet." Azuma kissed her shoulder.

"Voulez-vous couche avec moi?" she ignored his comment and smiled provokingly.

"Where did you learn that from?" he asked, obviously annoyed.

"We were together all the time so you can't accuse me for cheating." She stuck her tongue out.

"Hmm. You'll be punished though. Call it preventive measures…" his voice trailed off indicating a dark playful mood and his fingers drew a snake up her spine until they untied the bow on the back of her neck. He went behind her, brushed his lips on her bare nape causing her to moan and flicked his tongue. It was one of the most sensitive spots on her body.

"You know me too well," she whispered in defeat.

"True, true," Azuma answered in satisfaction while gently pulling down the silk of her dress and replacing it with the silk of his hands. At the same time, he went down, leaving a line of kisses on her back and when the dress fell to the floor, he carefully left it on the sofa on his right without standing up. Instead, he resumed kneeled to rub her legs and kiss her soft butt locks. Azuma knew that the little details, the attention he gave her this way, made her happy and relaxed her. Her panties seemed to annoy him, so he stripped them off and then it was her bra's turn.

In Kahoko's head, there was nothing else, only Azuma. She could swear that her brain turned into jelly – nothing abnormal – that happened each time he touched her so sensually, each time he whispered in her ear with his dark, deep voice. There were no suitable words to describe the feelings he stirred up in her. When Azuma unhooked her staples bra and his hands took the place of its cubs, it was like her chest caught on fire. When Azuma took off the hair pins which held her hair tied together and ruffled her red locks, it was like a thousand ants had climbed onto her head. Yet, this wasn't exactly what she felt. The words weren't the right ones. The language seemed so poor.

"Open your eyes," he commanded. "What do you see?"

She looked in the mirror. She was totally naked, but she didn't feel like it. She didn't feel any cold. Azuma was still in all his clothes behind her, staring at their reflection. Kahoko saw him leaning in to bury his nose in her hair at the same time his hands touched her shoulders, softly like feathers, and then slid down her arms to find her own hands to tangle their fingers together.

"Love, beauty and two strong arms," she answered.

Abruptly, Azuma wrapped her body with their hands and pulled her onto his chest. "I see eternity and happiness," he said in a low voice like in a confession.

Sudden sounds and lights made Kahoko turn and look through the window. Fireworks. The New Year has arrived.

"Happy New Year, my love," she wished whole-heartedly and her face wasn't only lightened by the colorful flowers of light coming from the outside, but also by her sweet smile.

"I am sure it'll be happy. And pleasurable since we 'inaugurates' it with love-making."

Really, did Kahoko expect a happy-new-year-darling answer? That wouldn't sound like her Azuma.

"Nevertheless, punishment is still punishment," Azuma said and took off his kerchief and without most devotion to what he did, he folded it and covered her eyes with it. "Now you won't see. Only I will see you."

Kahoko wasn't so annoyed. It was an experiment with her senses. She would have to concentrate on the feel of his touches and nothing else. She knew that Azuma was simply trying to trigger deeper responses out of her under his fingers. And it didn't take long. His nimble fingers soon found the way down to a place from which all the last got unlocked. With his left hand, he managed her left breast and with his lips, he played games on the bow of her neck, making her shiver.

How hot was his breath tickling her neck and ear?

How alluring and tasteful was her whole body?

"You are already turned on, aren't you?" Azuma used his husky tone. "You are quite wet… and I have just begun…" he trailed off as his other hand worked numbing magic in the damp area. He had grown with the years to know each secret that her body offered, each spot which upon his touch would lead to her mental fussiness.

And these moments, he did that exactly. He was stripping her from all the logic, breaking down every defense barrier she would probably build not to lose the control of her being. In the end, it was all useless. There was no point in resisting his ministrations. He offered the stars and the sun –bathed sky all at the same time.

Kahoko would soon see this bright light again. She moaned, her brain was in a mush state, her legs were weak and she had the impression that she was melting away, just like a candle. In order to support herself, she gripped with her own hand on Azuma's arm and she put her other hand behind his neck.

"Hmm, Azu…ma… don't laugh at me…" she spoke these words by the shin of one's teeth, almost breathless.

"My, my… either you can see through the fabric or you have some special powers…" Azuma indeed had a wicked smile on his face. "…or you have learnt me by heart. Can you guess what is it that's causing me to smile?" He paused, but it wasn't to hear the answer, it was to make her feel more helpless. "You cheeks, just under the blindfold, have turned the same color as your hair, darling. You are really enjoying this, it seems," he chuckled.

"You! Ahm…" The sweat on her bare body, the air which she tried to store in her lungs, the smell of Azuma's perfume, hot wet, her quick heartbeat, in, out, her body trembled, in, out, her grip on him tightened, her inner walls tightened, a bite on her earlobe, in, out, in, deeper, sinking, melting, deeper, fireworks.

She tried to find some little strength to still hold onto his body and not fall on the ground. She turned and gripped the shirt on his back, until she could calm and stand on her feet firmly.

But Azuma didn't seem to want to let her rest. His wet fingers ran up her spine and when she gasped out of surprise, he found the opportunity to give her a lingering kiss.

"Stop… Please…" she broke from the kiss, because if she wasn't given some time, she would surely faint. Kahoko rubbed her face on his shirt and her hands came in the front. Azuma didn't react. Kahoko, after relaxing a little bit, untied the blindfold without difficulty and upon opening her eyes, she dove in his alluring golden pools. His eyes were fixed on her face.

"I didn't recall allowing you to until the blindfold."

"I didn't ask for permission, 'cause it's my turn," she smiled playfully.

"I think I have let you too loose all this time."

"Shh…" Kahoko brought her index fingers on his lips and Azuma gently sucked it. She opened his shirt, unbuttoning the buttons one by one, the first then the second, then… till the last one. She took it off slowing, letting it slide over his shoulders and down his back and arms. His other garments followed it on the sofa. Now they were both the way they were born.

'So pure…' Kahoko thought while her fingers came in contact with his chest bones. Her palms rested on the place of his heart and her Azuma tilted her head upwards to steal her of some kisses. He wanted to distract her, not to be so much exposed, since his heartbeat raced under her touch. 'So soft,' she thought of his lips that nibbled and slid or pressed against hers. 'So intoxicating… yes, pure yet so lustful.' And her fingers travelled downwards to fondle the edge of his thorn.

Azuma moaned and backed away as he got surprised. A death glare followed, so Kahoko jumped backwards to a safe distance.

"Catch me!" She stuck her tongue out and tried to run away. But before she could even make three four steps, she got caught and they ended up on the bed with Azuma on the top. She tried to escape the grip that he placed on her wrists, but it was in vain.

"Be careful what you wish for. Here, I caught you. And now…" the devil said. "I am gonna devour you!" Tease and triumph were present in his voice.

Azuma, like a cheetah that attacks the poor antelope, went for her neck once again to create a hickey. He faced her then, letting his breathe graze her lips, but he didn't kiss her. His mouth hovered above her nose and her forehead, touching her ever so slightly, playing with, not letting her kiss him.

A mincing sound came from Kahoko. "You are being unfair. Why am I not allowed to tease you tonight?"

No answer from the devil. He went down on her and after trailing with his hands the upside of her legs, he parted them and a finger traced the flowers of her petals.

"You are still dripping, honey."

'Gosh, I wanna erase this wicked smile but for the moment…' "I wanna… I wanna… please…" Kahoko had gotten feverish and couldn't say a word properly, moreover naughty things.

"Yes? Anything you wanna say?"

Kahoko did an effort to grab his head and push it gently to the direction she wanted. Azuma was smarter and caught her hand in midair.

"You want me to do this?" he said and sucked on her fingers.

"N-No… uhm yes… I mean no!"

"Oh, you are hurting me, darling! Am I no good enough?"

"Damn you! You know what I mean! Just do it!"

"Say it. I can't read your mind."

"Liar! You do this all the time!"

"Not with you. With other people. Your brain is too dense. I can't access it." Azuma continued calmly. Although he was ready to laugh loud, because Kahoko was at her patience's limits.

"BAKA!" She took a breath to try to relax. "Since your hair grew back longer, you've turned evil again. I must give you a cut, I think."

"Don't tell me you don't fancy my evil side. I won't believe you." Azuma ignored her comment on shortening his hair. Her little threats wouldn't have any results.

Kahoko frowned. "Just… SHUT UP! And… lick me… There I said it."

Azuma chuckled. "You are incredibly cute," he smiled innocently.

Upon feeling his hot, wet, soft tongue on her womanhood, she moaned loudly. The feel was heavenly and to intensify the sensation, she pushed herself rhythmically onto his tongue.

He ate her slowly. Her taste was sweet like nectar. Azuma knew that at this point, he had her where he wanted her. Totally surrendered, asking for more, ready to come once again. His slow movement not only allowed him to savor her deliciousness, but to built her organism up. He put his palms under her thighs and pulled them up abruptly and held them there, letting the lower part of her leg to hang.

"A…zuma… faster!" But instead, she felt him detaching and saw him raising and licking his lips. Why in the world did she enjoy being embarrassed by him? Being teased by him?

"D-Don't stop," she whined.

Azuma moved her a bit, climbed the bed quickly, so both of them were in a more comfortable position and entered her.

Kahoko winced, taking back by his actions. Soon enough though, all came back to the previous pace. Azuma placed her legs over his shoulders, giving them more benefits. They looked at each other, they felt each other so intensely like they were wrestling. Azuma supported himself on one hand while the other wandered on and around her beautiful curves, groping and massaging her buttocks, her waist and her breast. Kahoko, on the other hand, didn't have many choices on where to lay her hands. She bent over her arms and supported herself by holding tightly onto the bed's head…

"Kahoko… you are tight…" Azuma was turned on after awhile. His groin had gone really hard and the pressure he felt from her walls increased as Kahoko approached her climax and he thrusted with more speed than before.

"Kahoko," he moaned and both of them, almost simultaneously, felt tired on the mattress, breathing heavily. They unlocked their bodies for a second only to embrace again and cuddle.

"It's been awhile, hasn't it? Since the first time – you were bare back then, too," Kahoko whispered.

"I was careless back then… and well, you just jumped on me and dragged me. It seemed like urgent," Azuma shook his shoulders with an attitude.

"You make me appear like the big bad wolf that attacked the poor lamb. And we both know that you can't be the lamb."

Azuma smiled sheepishly and took a praying pose like an angel. Kahoko giggled and rubbed her nose against his.

"I am in love with the devil."

"you sure have privileges this way. I am good in bed."

"Always sooo modest," she remarked sarcastically.

Azuma got on her again. "You like it bare. Admit it."

A shade of pink crept on her cheeks again. She had felt his milk gushing into her, the different feeling friction had… She adored it… And she was on the pill, so she didn't have to think of an unplanned pregnancy, although a baby wouldn't be such a problem in the near future. .. She returned to reality, when she felt his mouth on her breasts.

"Haa… Azuma…" Kahoko had learned to enjoy surrendering to him. How much he had spoiled her! She brushed his hair gently and then pulled it slightly to make him stop and look at her. She wanted his lips. He didn't resist her. After all, the truth is that he had fallen in her charms and had learned to succumb to her – occasionally. For Azuma, it was pretty difficulty in the beginning to love and let others love him because that meant he had to let his guard down, he admitted he had a weak spot and he lost control. Thus, he felt insecure and that caused him to be jealous and possessive. With the passage of time, Azuma's insecurity mild, but still wasn't erased completely.

"All of you, your body and soul

Ever kind of love you can express

All the secret dreams you've never told

I want everything

And I'll take nothing less

All of you as long as you love

Everything you've never shared before…"

Azuma stared at Kahoko while uttering the lyrics of an old song. Kahoko's eyebrows lowered and got together, not really sure whether he felt sad or frustrated. She made a catty move with her leg and turned the tables. Now, she was on top and Azuma hadn't seen this coming.

"You are unfair, Mr. Yunoki," Kahoko complained. "I always tell you my worries, my thoughts, but you hardly ever do this. You try to conceal them. I am not your enemy. You should open up to me. It's not something to be ashamed of. Please," she pleaded, continuing with a lyric from the same song, "I want you to reveal what you feel." Kahoko leaned in to kiss his right eye. "I love you, baka daio." She kissed and caressed her way down. Kahoko wanted to make him speak, to hear him talking about how he felt when she treated him with love. She inhaled the scent of his manhood and sucked it carefully.

Azuma bit his lower lip. Why was it so hard to tell her? He didn't want to accept, he was defeated perhaps?

"Darn it! Kahoko…" he groaned. "Hng…" Kahoko took him in her garden again. She spread her arms and invited him in a hug. Azuma sat up and rested his head on her shoulders. "You are driving me crazy, you little witch, are you satisfied now?"

Kahoko smiled sweetly at him, who was gazing at her at the moment. She started moving and rubbing herself against him in a steady rhythm.

"What are you thinking right now?" she asked him between kisses.

"I'll take my revenge. I won't let you sleep the rest of the night."

They both laughed heartily and went on being naughty till dawn.

Author's Notes:

Appassionato = with passion

It's been a loooong time! Well, life goes on and changes things. Thank you zenophobiaz for typing the whole 9 pages. Thank you to all of you who waited patiently and left good reviews. We got encouraged to finish this fic, but I don't think we can promise more. Life gets busier and more difficult. C.V. starts university and I finish it this year. So, there are two more chapters to go and most probably there ends our "writer carrier". We enjoyed this trip and we are grateful for the approving comments. We are not against any critic, but please be polite and try to understand that we put our soul in this and we tried hard to write stories worth reading. We may indeed miss cultural differences, but I think the youngsters aren't that tight with traditions. If you think having sex everyday is cheap and pervert, I recommend you revisit your worldview. And if Yunoki isn't a "naughty" person, a person who seeks pleasure aside all other things, then I don't know what he is. *cough*Brainz*cough*

Unfortunately, C.V. faces some serious problems with her eyes so she was unable to type this chapter. But she's better now! :)

Sth irrelevant: I noticed that our fic isn't listed in any community... why's that? Don't we deserve some recognition?
