« What do you want, Haru-chan ? » he asked with a smirk.
Even if he was smiling, there was still that darkness in his eyes showing that he was troubled by something. Haruhi got closer to him and kneeled by his side with her box.
« I haven't got the chance to offer you your birthday present. » she said softly, uneasy.
Souji's eyes widened and he took the box in hand.
« I have a birthday present ? » he asked, confused.
« Well of course, yes... » she muttered « you offered me a birthday present too... »
« I hope it's not something you cooked... » he sighed.
« Souji ! » she protested, completely flustered.
Chuckling, he opened the box to discover the sake service. He took the bottle in hand and studied it with a smile. He looked pleased with it but it was always hard to devine what he was really thinking about something.
« You should have used it for tonight. » he said with a small smile « it's a great gift, thank you, Haru-chan. »
« I thought about it but I wanted to offer it to you first... » she muttered, apologetic.
« It's fine. » he nodded « I'll have to invite them over again to show off. »
He closed back the box and put it on a side. He was pouting, it was written all over his face. Silently, he reported his gaze on the night outside the window. Some houses still had light in it but only a few. The village was asleep.
« You... Is there a problem, Souji ? » she dared to ask.
« A problem ? » he repeated, arms crossed.
« Yeah, because... You seem kinda upset... »
Souji stood up to store the sake service in a cupboard but didn't answer. That was proof enough that he was pouting.
« You should go to bed, Haru-chan. » he stated.
There was a lump in her heart that was going down and down. Seeing Souji pouting like this was painful, especially since he started just after he kissed her. Last time he was like that, he wanted to quit Oita by himself and leave her behind. What if he had these kind of intentions again ?
« I'm sorry ! » she blurted out, getting up and bowing.
« Why are you sorry ? » he asked but she didn't look up to see his expression.
« I'm sorry if I upset you, Souji... » she continued « If I misbehaved or did something I shouldn't have... or maybe didn't do something I should have... I don't know. If I disappointed you in any way, please accept my apologies. »
« You didn't disappoint me, Haru-chan. » he stated, lifting her chin up for her to stop bowing at him « If I'm mad at someone, it's only at myself. »
« Why are you mad, Souji ? » she asked, confused.
« Because you're a young woman and I'm an old man » he whispered « and yet, I can't stop myself from wanting you. »
Wow. That wasn't something she expected. Souji wanted her ? Her ? Was she winning against the kami ?
« You... want me ? » she managed to whisper.
Her heart was so big in her chest that it was feeling like it was compressed by her rib cage, pushing her lungs against it, making her unable to breath properly. Her breath became shorter under the pressure as she looked up into Souji's dark pine eyes.
« Do you have any idea how hard it is ? » he continued, brushing his fingers on her cheek « It's like having a candy near me at all time but that I am not allowed to taste. You're here, young, fierce and cute, and you love me for an obscure reason, you're demonstrating it everyday. You dedicate your days, your life, to me. You're willing to follow me anywhere and you cope with my teasing with a saintly patience. » he sighed « everytime you loosen your collar or expose a bit of your skin in my presence, I feel the urge to eat you up. I imagined it so many times in my mind... and now that I know the taste of your lips, I don't know if I can refrain myself anymore. »
« Souji... » she whispered, overwhelmed.
Told by any other man, these words would have sounded disgusting in her mind but in Souji's mouth, they were the most beautiful words she ever heard.
« I love you, Souji... » she eventually said.
« I know » he chuckled « now forget about all that and go to bed. I'm spurting out nonsense. »
« It's not nonsense, Souji ! » she protested, frowning « You're not an old man and I love you and I wanna be with you if only you could have me... »
Surprising her, Souji's hands travelled on her back and cupped her ass, lifting her up. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his waist not to fall but before she could process what happened, his mouth was on hers again, moving as if he wanted to devour her.
« Don't say things like this, kid... » he whispered, releasing her mouth.
« But it's the truth... » she managed to protest before he claimed her lips again.
She could feel his tongue licking her lips, his teeth biting what he could, his lips pressing on hers with passion. He kept one hand under her for support and the other one seemed to be everywhere at once, on her back, hair, shoulders, sides, waist, hips, thighs, ankle. It really was different from all the times she had been touched before. She wasn't a tool in his hands but something he really craved, something that only her could give him, not an interchangeable woman. Her head was spinning again and she wasn't sure where the up and down were anymore, until she felt something both hard and soft againt her back and realized it was Souji's futon. He broke the kiss and she became able to breath again, even if it was short and quick.
« If you don't mind » said Souji with her obi in hand that she hadn't even noticed he untied « I'm going to put this a bit further. » he took her kaiken from her obi and made it turn in his fingers playfully before he threw it away. « I don't wanna end up like that poor guy. »
That poor guy... The man in Oita ? Haruhi suddenly realized what Souji had in mind, even if the futon and his hands on her body should have been pretty understandable clues. He wanted to do this with her ?
« Souji... » she called, unassured.
« Don't be scared, Haru-chan » he whispered « If I'm off limits, just tell me no and I'll stop. Trust me. »
« O... Okay... » she said and Souji replied with a smile.
He pulled on the other ties holding her yukata and freed her arms to discard the clothing further. Then, as he was staring at her, his eyes darkened again with that burning desire, fiercely radiating.
« Shit... » he whispered « Hajime's gonna kill me... »
She didn't have time to reply, his finger drawing on her lower lip, letting it journey sneakily down to her collarbone, leaving a warm, tingling path. He drew his lips to hers again. Souji wasn't much of a kisser. Instead, she was feeling like his favorite pastry. He couldn't stop himself from licking, biting and nibbling on her lips as if they were the most delicious dessert he ever tasted.
His lips followed the path of his fingers and she escaped a wanton moan before blushing red, completely flustered.
« That was a cute sound. » commented Souji snidely.
« It's... I'm sorry ! » she said, putting her hands on her face to hide it « I... I don't know why I did this... »
Souji chuckled and removed her hands, holding them above her head. She pursed her lips and avoided his gaze, feeling humiliated by that sound she just made.
« I like it. » said Souji with a smile « Don't refrain them. »
Haruhi felt a bit reassured by his words and relaxed a little as Souji resumed to eat her up. Her face, her neck... not a single inch of her skin was left untouched and it was achingly burning with trails of fire. In her stomach, the warmth was changing into a brasier.
« Aren't you going to undress me ? » asked Souji playfully.
« I can ? » she asked, not sure.
« You prefer if I'm doing it myself ? » he asked.
« No... It's fine... » she flushed « I'll do it. »
Trembling a little, shy, she untied Souji's obi and brushed his yukata off his shoulders, leaving him with only his underwear.
« Do I have to remove this too ? » she asked, not really sure what was okay and what wasn't.
« It'll be more practical for the rest of the evening but you don't have to do it now. » he smiled.
She nodded and pulled on the ties of his underwear, surprising him with her boldness and leaving him without anything to cover his body. It was the first time she was seeing a man fully naked and it had something impressive. When she... worked... they were only loosening their clothing to use her, already ready to depart as soon as it would be over. Out of curiosity and awe, she brushed her fingers on Souji's large, muscular chest and traced the contour of his well defined abs, result of years of training.
« You're staring. » commented Souji with a smile « am I really that handsome ? »
« Ah ! No ! I mean, yes ! » she stuttered « I don't know ! I'm... Sorry... It's the first time I see a man like this... »
« Really ? » he lifted an eyebrow « I thought you weren't virgin. »
« Yeah, I'm not but... » she muttered « It... It's still the first time... »
Souji smiled and came nibbling on her neck again before he got lower and directed his attention towards her chest. He captured a nipple in his mouth and sucked on it. Again, Haruhi couldn't help but escape a stupid sound and Souji chuckled, still licking.
« And this ? » he asked in a sly voice « Is it the first time ? »
« Hum... Yes... » she replied, embarrassed.
It was so nice, so hot and so... pleasurable ? Could she say that ? To have Souji devouring her like this, as if she was the sweetest candy in the world. Each time she could feel his tongue or teeth on her nipples, she was feeling a tide flowing in her body. His strong hands, his fingers on her breasts, squeezing them almost painfully as if she was the only thing he ever wanted... all that was driving her crazy and making her escape moans of delight. She was still a bit ashamed about them but the pleasure was making her forget, little by little, and surrender to him, to Souji. Unintentionally, she spread her legs a bit more and Souji noticed, continuing the journey of his lips.
With his teeth, he pulled on the ties of her underwear and they were now in the same state, completely naked in front of one another. He bit her hips, harder than the previous times, and she escaped a cry of pleasure pain. His lips trailed fire on her hips, navel and thigh and she sat up, curious, to see what he had in mind. His hand blocked her though and Souji pushed her back on the futon.
« Just lay down and enjoy. » he laughed.
« W... Why ? » she asked.
He didn't answer and instead, he applied his lips on her core. Her hips jolted forwards and her back arched as her eyes widened and her lips escaped a loud groan, like the one of an animal. Souji's tongue was like magic on her entiere body but there, it was a whole new level.
« S... Souji... Souji... » she moaned in delight as she was discovering these new sensations.
Never before had she been touched like this. It was electrifying, sending waves of extreme heat from her core to the tip of her fingers and toes. Her hands went combing into Souji's hair. She needed to touch him and it was the only thing she could reach. Possessively, she weaved strands of hair in her fingers. Even if they were shorter now, they were still long enough for her to do so.
« Souji... »
Haruhi couldn't help but say his name, as if she was trying to convince herself that it indeed was him, that magician who was making her experience so much joy. A part of her feared she could wake up and realize that was all a dream. Souji was there, pleasuring her, tasting her, kissing her... She didn't think her heart could endure more of this.
She sensed his hand snaking on her womanhood and one of his finger found her entrance.
« No ! »
The cry escaped her instinctively and Souji lifted his head immediately, confused.
« No ? » he asked.
« Ah ! Sorry ! » she apologized, completely flustered « Sorry ! »
« You want me to stop ? » he asked for her to confirm.
« No... it's... Sorry... » she apologized again.
The pain... She was terrified of the pain even in this moment when Souji was making her feel so special. She had to compose herself. Souji focused solely on her for a long time now, making her discover new sensations and delights. She should brace herself and let him take his pleasure too.
« Haruhi » he said « I know someone hurt you. I won't hurt you, please trust me. »
She knew these words, she heard them countless times. They always promised not to hurt her and then, the pain was there anyway. She didn't really believe him but nodded to please him. Souji came to claim her lips again and kissed her. He didn't bite or lick but just kissed her, tenderly. It was reassuring and comforting and she thought that as long as he could kiss her this way, he could do whatever he liked to her. His hand was still snaking between her legs and while his mouth was slowly working on hers, he inserted a finger. Her inner walls clenched around it in reflex and Souji released her mouth to comment.
« Damn that's tight... » he muttered « I'm gonna need you to relax, Haru-chan... »
« S... Sorry... » she whispered, ashamed.
« Does it hurt ? » he asked, concerned.
« No... » she blushed, feeling Souji's finger inside her.
It was a strange feeling, neither painful or pleasurable but just the feeling of this presence in her. Slowly, Souji began to pump his finger. It was feeling weird to sense it moving against her inner walls and even pretty uncomfortable.
« Relax Haruhi... » repeated Souji.
She wanted to obey but it was easier to say than to do. She had no idea how to relax that part of her body and the fear to disappoint Souji wasn't really helping. He forced another finger inside her, studying her reaction to be sure he wasn't hurting her and pumped some more, stretching her slightly and carefully. He trailed kisses and bites again to bring his lips back to her core. The pleasure came back as soon as his tongue started to flicker on her and she resumed whimpering softly.
« You're still so tensed... » commented Souji.
Haruhi could hear the disappointment in his voice and it hurt. She wasn't able to please him the way he pleased her.
Relax... Relax...
She tried to focus on her inner muscles and make them relax and she seemed to succeed a bit since Souji resumed pumping his fingers with a bit more ease. He found something inside her that made her escape a loud cry of pleasure. It was as if his fingers and tongue were both pressing on one extremity of the same sensitive spot.
« Here, that's better... » he chuckled.
He kept moving that way for a while and that was the most intense thing she ever experienced. He took his fingers out and licked them as if he couldn't get enough of her taste and he passed his arms under her legs before he kissed her forehead.
« Ready ? » he asked and she understood that the oh so feared moment was now upon her.
Haruhi swallowed her saliva and braced herself, nodding. She felt Souji's tip at her entrance and tried to focus on relaxing her inner walls but it didn't really work. He seemed unable to get in.
« Haruhi » he whispered « I'm gonna push harder. Tell me if it's painful, okay ? »
« O... Okay... » she nodded.
His manhood became more insistent and it gradually pushed harder against her until it finally found its way in. It felt uncomfortable to be stretched by it but not painful. Slowly, Souji burried all his length inside her, groaning. He stayed still a moment, panting, looking at her face.
« I'm gonna move now. » he said and she nodded in response.
He started to move slowly and she could feel him slide inside her, being one with her. The pain was absent and that relieved her.
« Souji... » she whimpered, closing her arms around him to pull him even closer to her., her legs draping his neck.
There was no pleasure, only that weird sensation of feeling him inside her but she could hear Souji groan with each of his thrust and that was overwhelming her with joy, knowing that Souji was getting pleasure from her, and only her. She never thought that having a man using her could feel so fulfilling but she never did this with someone she loved before.
Souji nested his head in her neck and he suckled on it, hard. That contact, even if a little rough, made her feel even more wanted. Something changed in her and she was able to relax a bit more.
« Haruhi... » panted Souji in her neck before he bit her shoulder, his teeth rasping against her skin.
A small warm sensation started to invade her lower body and she moaned faintly again. Souji groaned in response and increased his pace, encouraged by her sounds and the way her fingers were digging in his back.
« Souji... Souji... » she kept repeating with each of his thrusts.
« Haruhi... » he panted « Shit... »
Haruhi felt him twitch inside her, releasing his seed as he groaned loudly. He stayed there a while, still inside her, his head in the crook of her shoulder, until he eventually released her legs, allowing her to put them down. Their bodies were covered in sweat and Haruhi still had trouble to realize that what just happened, truly happened.
Souji raised his head and plunged his gaze in hers, amused. He chuckled and kissed her forehead before he rolled to the side.
« Ara... You really are something, Haru-chan. »
