I've decided to do this chapter slightly differently- I'm writing it in Hwoarang's pov just for a bit of fun. Also, I didn't plan it to, but this chapter contains more than just references to lime, so if you don't like it, then read up until the break, and then skip to the end where the break ends. If you really don't want to, then I'll fill you in on what you missed at the start of the next chapter.

Kerry was discharged the following day, sent back with painkillers for her hand and neck that had developed small blisters all over it from when Kazuya scorched her. When I got my hands on that bastard, I'm going to kill him. Kerry was also given the instruction that she wasn't to use my hand for any strenuous activities (such as fighting, the doctor said after I suggested more 'productive' strenuous activities) for a week. Great.

I left the hospital about an hour before Kerry and Steve, as I had been at the hospital all night with Kerry, and desperately needed a shower before she got back. I heard a knock on the door and as I opened it, I had Kerry barge past me and into the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind her, a look of thunder on her face. Knowing full well the reason behind the look, I turned an eyebrow up to Steve.

"explain"

He glanced down at the floor before looking back up again.

"all I did was warned her not to screw you for a week" he said.

I bit back a laugh at that, knowing full well that if Kerry heard me laugh, I'd probably end up sleeping on the balcony for the next god-knows how long.

So, instead of laughing like I really wanted to, I smirked and gave Steve a friendly pat on the back before pretending to chastise him over what he had said, and shutting the door in his face, giving him a friendly wink as I did to show him I wasn't being serious. He gave me a smile before I heard him walk off. I took a deep breath and turned to face the bathroom, or as I though of it at that minute, my impending doom. I knocked, and waited for an answer.

"Go away Steve"

"hey babe, it's only me. Blondey left a few seconds ago"

I heard shuffling from behind the door, before the unmistakable sound of the door unlocking. She came out, and I could see she had clearly been crying, but was trying to hide it. It worried me. This wasn't the strong, feisty girl I had fallen for back in Korea. This was a weak and defenceless girl. She looked up at me, and my breath hitched as I saw the hurt in them. As she leant forward, I pulled my arms round her. The first time I held her like this after she broke down crying, a strange feeling fluttered in my stomach. I hated it at first as it made me feel strange, but each time I held her, the feeling grew, and it wasn't until now, after I had made love to her, that I finally understood what it finally was. Seeing her so helpless and defenceless hurt me, both physically and emotionally, and all he wanted to do was take the pain away, protect her.

I loved her. It had taken me a long time to realise, but standing here now, with my arms wrapped round her, I felt as if this is where I belonged, where I should always belong. She looked up at me then, and I couldn't stop myself from lowering my head down and capturing her soft lips into a kiss. She kissed back, and as I pulled away, she rested her head on my chest, letting out a soft sigh.

If the guys back home heard about this, I would never hear the end of it. Hwoarang, the notorious a ladies man who wouldn't know what commitment was if it jumped up and smacked him in the face, had found the girl he wanted to be with for the rest of his life, and had no intention of ever going back to his previous life of shagging a girl and leaving before she had even had time to get out of bed. It was just his way, but no more. From now on, he was only going to be there for Kerry.

She looked up at me again, and I gave her one of my smirks, smirking even wider when she turned her eyes away for that split second. I reached out to move a piece of hair off her face, but as soon as my hand was in the air, I felt something tug on my own hair, and my face was lurched forward as she pulled me in for another kiss, but deeper this time. I groaned as I pushed my tongue into her mouth, and groaned even louder as she did something she had never done before, she started sucking on it. Each time the pressure of her mouth increased, a jolt of 'something' travelled down my body to certain parts.

She completely surprised me with her next actions, the most I could do was stand there with my mouth open. However my eyes closed and I took a huge gasp as it felt good. Without warning she just reached down and gently grasped my crotch, squeezing it a couple of times. oh my god, that felt so fucking good!

"mmm…babe, the doctor…warned…"

"I don't care. I need you" she whispered.

She removed her hand before pulling me into a kiss, undoing my shirt buttons before pushing it off my arms. I reached up and grasped her arms, resting her hands on my shoulders before doing the same to her with my arms. I then gently ran my thumbs over her shoulder, smiling when she closed her eyes and lay her ahead on my chest again. I swallowed down the comment sitting in my throat, and continued moving my hands down past her breasts, to her stomach, until finally they rested above the hemline of her jeans.

I've never had confidence issues when sleeping with women, but as I found out the other night, there is a big difference between sleeping with someone and actually making love to someone. Right now, I was going to make love to Kerry. It would never just be sex with her. I pushed her jeans down part way and then pushed her female boxers down. She gasped as I confidently moved one of my hands in between her legs and began massaging her while my other hand trailed back up her body to remove her shirt. As soon as her shirt was off as well as her bra, I gently tilted her head back to kiss her throat, and making her moan ever so softly into my ear.

I felt her body sway backwards, and without stopping what my hand was doing between her legs, I gently lowered her onto the bed, immediately moving my head down to tease each of her breasts, grinning when her moan increased slightly in volume and length. I could feel her beginning to tense as her release began, and so, I stopped, pulling my hand away. I groaned myself as my erection was actually beginning to hurt thanks to my jeans pressing on it. She must've noticed as she began undoing them, admittedly with a slightly embarrassed look on her face as my length was released. I groaned and pulled her closer to me, kissing her with as much passion as I could. Thankfully, she responded with just as much passion.

This time, the sex was purely passion filled, not tender as it had been the first time. Her first time. I still couldn't get over that she had chosen me of all people to be her first. How did she know that I would still be there when she woke the following morning? I had been though, and always would be. She'd never be alone as long as I was there for her.

Once we had both climaxed, we lay next to each other, Kerry laying across my body, gently playing with one of my nipples, oblivious to what it was doing to me 'down there'. to distract myself, I noticed that she had her injured hand laying on top of my chest. I gently held it and checked for any damage.

"hey, it's fine. Don't worry about it. See? No harm done"

I smiled, satisfied that I hadn't hurt her. She gave me a warm smile back, before returning to what she had been doing. The movement was actually lulling me to sleep, but when I suddenly felt something hot and wet on replacing her hand, I woke with a start. What the…she was actually teasing my nipple with her mouth? Well, well. It seemed little miss shy wasn't so shy when we were already naked.

"and just what do you think you're doing miss?" I asked.

She raised an eyebrow at that, before giving me a sultry smile and continuing what she was doing. I felt her hand slide down my body before suddenly stroking me. I sat bolt upright, but she didn't stop, only smiled as she increased her speed, sending me further and further to the edge. I didn't let her send me all the way though. Letting out as feral a growl as I could without my voice squeaking, I grasped her waist and pulled her onto me, sliding into her all in one swift movement. She looked surprised at first, but I gently moved my hips upwards, and her surprise turned into a lustful gasp as she caught on to my rhythm and slowly sped up.

Before long, I suddenly tensed and groaned out her name as I felt my release. I didn't stop thrusting though, as less than a few seconds later, she followed after me, screaming my name before crushing her lips onto mine as she collapsed on top of me. I rolled so that she was lying next to me and gently stroked her hair as she drifted off into a light sleep.

………………………………......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

It wasn't until about an hour later as I was watching her chest rise and fall in a rhythmic motion and reminding myself just how much I loved her, that it suddenly hit me, and nearly sent me into a blind panic. We hadn't used any protection.

I sat bolt upright and felt Kerry stir before she opened her eyes and gave me a confused look.

"what's up?" she asked.

I told her the situation and she opened her eyes in shock.

"oh my god! What are we going to do?"

I kissed her, and even though I had a strange feeling that my next words could one day come back and kick me in the face, spoke.

"don't worry. It'll be fine."

"I hope so" she sighed.

She gave me another kiss before moving to grab a shower. I suggested joining her, and her only answer was to slam the door playfully and lock it. I guess she was still shy about certain things.

I shrugged to myself before moving to get dressed. As Kerry moved out of the shower, I moved out onto the balcony, and a few minutes later I felt her slide up behind me and wrap her arms round me. I pulled her round so that her back was to me, and pulled her against me so that her back was against my chest and I could comfortably lean my chin on her head. We stood there, watching the world go by, and watching the sun setting afterwards. I kissed the top of Kerry's head and she sighed again. Again, I felt the emotion build up in me, and before I knew it, I blurted out the one thing I had been avoiding for the past few days.

"I love you" I whispered.

She stiffened up as I said that, and I watched as she turned to face me, shock in her eyes. I watched her as a range of emotions flooded through her eyes, and I unknowingly held my breath as she opened her mouth to respond.
