Morg: Heyo! You know…

Ikuto: She isn't really sorry.

Amu: Not one bit.

Morg: That's not true!

Ikuto: Waiting so long between updates is how she gets her sick pleasure.

Amu: That's the only way she can because she doesn't own us.

~Indebted~

Slightly jetlagged but more emotionally tired than anything else, Amu really didn't want to wake up. In that semiconscious state of awareness, however, she could feel that Ikuto was awake. At first she felt his gaze. Then his arms tightened around her waist just a little tighter before one of his hands slipped free of the hold to let his fingers trace patterns against the bare skin on her side.

Naked only because Ikuto had insisted on some welcome home sex, though Amu was alright with it since it assured her that Ikuto was still interested despite not really touching her since their competition. Not that she wanted the man to stay interested in her. The sooner he lost his need of her body, the sooner she could return to her normal live. Her very boring, normal live.

Still not wanting to wake up, Amu let out a small breath of air before shivering slightly against Ikuto's soft caresses. Maybe if she ignored him, he'd go away.

Knowing that she was definitely almost awake, Ikuto continued to rouse his lover slowly. He knew Amu would be exhausted and that she'd need some sleep, but this was too long. Sure they'd made love the night before but that was hours ago. This was a new day after all.

"Amu, wake up now."

Murmuring in her tired state, Amu tried to tell Ikuto to leave her alone and wake up by himself, but nothing comprehendible came out of her mouth.

Chuckling a little, Ikuto began placing butterfly kisses on her face. Between each kiss he whispered her name. Soon enough his kisses were trailing down her exposed neck and onto her shoulder. "Amu, you should really wake up now."

How could she say that she was enjoying his touches too much to move? The girl was definitely wide awake now yet still feigning sleep. Letting out a hum as if to signal that she wasn't quite awake yet, Amu tried to not be so excited about what Ikuto might do next.

She was awake and Ikuto knew it. Smirking now, he continued to place kisses down her body before slightly rolling her onto her back. The sheet might have covered her lower half, but Amu's chest was left bare for Ikuto to kiss and occasionally bite.

Amu couldn't help but squeal as Ikuto purposely bit down on a sensitive spot right along her collar bone. He nuzzled her neck with his nose, making Amu giggle before their lips met and they shared a rather passionate kiss.

Ikuto had tried, he really had, to keep it light at first since he wanted to eat a little breakfast before making out with Amu, but that didn't seem that that was going to happen. Not since Amu was slightly moaning into the kiss and tilting her head just right so that he could kiss her harder and deeper.

She even accepted his tongue when he licked her bottom lip, kindly asking for entrance to her hot mouth, which was rather rare for him to do. Even though her accepting him the first time he asked was even more so odd.

Breakfast could wait. Ikuto had no problem with eating Amu first since she was obviously enjoying this little make out session as well.

Ikuto felt his eyes widening as Amu played with his tongue as he slinked it around her mouth. This wasn't like his Amu at all. Usually she played hard to get and then just pretended to tolerate him after he won the little fight, and here she was, sucking on his tongue in return.

This realization only made Ikuto kiss the girl beneath him harder. His hands roamed, feeling as much of that perfectly smooth, perfectly pale skin as he could. Her hands remained fisted in his hair, pulling his mouth even harder against her own.

Ikuto let out a groan of his own as he felt himself harden. Sure he had been planning on staying home all day to be with her and they were more than likely going to have a little fun while staying in, but he hadn't intended to start the morning off this way. Not at all. Not that he was complaining.

Being painfully hard, Ikuto shifted Amu's legs so that he could wrap them around his waist before he shallowly thrust into her.

Amu moaned at the feeling of Ikuto filling her so fully while kissing him harder. Breaking the kiss they were sharing wasn't an option as she dragged air in through her nose when she felt her lungs about to burst. Sure it was sort of awkward, but the sensations she was feeling at the moment made her forget all about it.

One of Ikuto's hands remained on her lower back as he continued his slow but firm pace while the other slipped up her stomach to rub against one of her perk nipples.

Amu moaned again. Louder this time as she bucked up against Ikuto's touch. The man could do so much to her while doing so little himself. Life just wasn't fair.

Enjoying the way she was practically screaming at him with her body to go faster, Ikuto continued his teasing pace until she actually came. Feeling those tight walls moving around his erection made him follow right after.

The intensity of their kiss had begun to slow as Amu had approached her climax and now that she was coming down from that high, their deep kiss turned light once more before Ikuto broke it to place a few more light kisses to her lips. His arms moved to roll him slightly onto his side with Amu snuggled to him.

Letting out a content sigh, Ikuto simply listened to Amu breathe as she tried to gain control of her lungs once more. That was probably one of the hottest, sexiest things he'd ever done in his life and he wasn't surprised at all that Amu made it even more so. How he loved her. From the first time he'd seen her he'd been obsessed and learned more about her without the pinkette knowing a thing about it. Her being sold at that auction was perfect once he got over the anger he felt about that happening to her. Finally, he could take her and make her his while keeping her safe.

The strange part, at least to Ikuto, was how his want and need to possess her had turned into love and affection. Not that he could just confess to Amu and she'd accept. Of course, then they'd get married and have kids and… he was getting a little too ahead of himself on that train of thought.

Ikuto pulled the no longer panting girl just a little bit closer to him before he placed one last kiss on the side of her head. "Are you awake now?"

Amu gave out a breathy laugh, which turned Ikuto on a little, before nodding her head. "Yeah, I suppose I am."

Chuckling, Ikuto finally pulled out of the girl before moving to get out of the bed. Since he didn't let go of her hand, Amu was forced to follow him through the apartment while they were both naked. Not that either of them minded in the slightest. Being naked in random places of the apartment was the norm.

Amu stayed silent as Ikuto led her down the hall and into the kitchen. She was placed against the counter next to the fridge as he opened the doors to rummage through the cold space for something to eat.

Triumphantly, Ikuto pulled out a container of sliced apples. Before Amu could move, he had her trapped between him and the counter with the apples sitting open behind her. Smiling, Ikuto pulled a slice to Amu's lips. "Say 'ah', Amu."

Deciding that Ikuto was being cute, which was odd, and sort of liking it, Amu opened her mouth to let Ikuto push in a rather juicy apple slice. Sucking in the fruit and chewing it slowly, Amu noticed a little juice still on Ikuto's fingers. Before she could stop herself, she'd swallowed the fruit in her mouth and pulled his fingers to her lips to lick them clean.

Staring down at the blushing girl, Ikuto was a little stunned by her actions but decided not to tease her for them at the moment. Instead, he once more brought a slice of apple to her lips. Amu parted them like before, but Ikuto didn't slide the slice in this time. He pressed it against her bottom lip, causing some of the juice to coat that plump lip and a little to run down her chin.

Amu just stood there with her eyes on Ikuto as he stared at her lips. She kept them slightly parted while he rubbed the apple slice against them. Before she knew it, the slice had fallen to the ground and his lips were once more against hers. Licking the juice off.

Moaning into the kiss, Amu brought her arms up to Ikuto's neck to pull him even closer. His strong hands found her hips as he practically tossed her onto the counter, spilling the apple slices everywhere.

"Ikuto!"

Liking the way she moaned his name as he thrust into her once more, Ikuto made sure that she could feel all the want and desire that he had for her in the fast pace he pumped in and out of her while sucking on those delicious lips. The apple taste only made it a little bit sweeter and sexier.

Coming fast, Amu held onto the man pounding her into the kitchen counter as his thrusts became a little unsteady and erratic. Not a few seconds later, he was once more coming inside of her.

Panting, Ikuto pulled out and watched in satisfaction as the come he'd just released inside of Amu slid out onto her thighs. "I think we might need to clean up a little."

Blushing hard, Amu only nodded before Ikuto pulled her off the counter and carried her towards the bathroom. All the while, they shared sweet, short kisses as they went. Leaving the scattered apple slices to lay forgotten on the kitchen counter and floor until later.

Now that they were all cleaned up and relaxing on the couch, Ikuto felt he should at least give Amu a heads up. "So tomorrow Tadase will be taking you to Nagihiko's studio. You will begin your training to become an instructor. Who knows, within a couple of weeks you might be teaching classes."

Amu couldn't help but smile as she leaned back against Ikuto's chest. "Thanks Ikuto."

"Don't mention it."

"No really. You made the Hong Kong trip amazing even though we lost and you are allowing me to teach a dance class. Thanks."

Ikuto smiled back at the happy pinkette before his smile fell to a smirk. "I know the perfect way for you to thank me."

Amu blushed instantly as she shyly looked away. "Ikuto!"

Laughing, Ikuto squeezed the girl in his arms. "I don't know what you were thinking about, but I was implying that you should go out to dinner with me tonight."

Amu blushed again, only this time for an entirely different reason.

Morg: Well this chapter turned out differently than I had pictured.

Ikuto: I enjoyed it.

Amu: I didn't.

Morg: Sure you did.

Ikuto: I think everyone should review now.

Amu: I'd rather they didn't.
