Day 5: Intimacy/Scars
Botan always loved the moments she was alone with Hiei, especially after a passionate round of lovemaking. In these moments, her lover seemed so approachable, relaxed, and content. Sometimes, he'd fall asleep before the ferry girl, as he was now, the couple wrapped up in the sheets and entangled with one another. It gave Botan the rare opportunity to study Hiei's physique.
It had been so long since Botan last saw Hiei, and with him asleep she felt confident in running her fingers over his many scars. The heat of his skin warmed her fingertips, just as he warmed her heart. A happy sigh passed through Botan's lips as her eyes roved his unconscious form. Her fingers continued their investigation as they travelled and traced the fire demon's many scars.
Of course, unbeknownst to Botan, Hiei had woken up the moment her fingers touched his skin the first time. The fire demon would always be a light sleeper, but he certainly knew how to act like he was still asleep. He kept his eyes closed and expression neutral. It was a way to lure enemies into a false sense of security. With Botan, though, he simply wanted to see and feel what she'd do. Her curious nature was rubbing off on him.
Hiei's body twitched from Botan's gentle touches, and he subtly used the Jagan to hear her inner thoughts. Hm, I wonder where he got this one from.
The fire demon had to force himself to remain expressionless as his lips threatened to quirk into a smile. He should have known the woman would be studying him as he so rarely let her do. Plus, the concern of her inner voice was enough to touch Hiei all the way down to his core. She cared about him. He already knew it, but there was something about her affection that would always affect Hiei.
He froze when he felt her lips touch his skin, gently caressing each scar. A shiver passed through his entire body when he felt her tongue dart out a few times. He managed not to react too much, not wanting to reveal the fact that he was awake, as Botan continued her ministrations. It was difficult, but Hiei managed to remain still to see what the ferry girl might do.
Then, Hiei felt Botan on top of him. She leaned over to whisper, "I love you," in his ear as if she'd known he was awake the entire time.
Hiei's fiery eyes snapped open and Botan smiled impishly. It seemed his little tease was perfectly aware of what was happening. She was certainly more cunning than most gave her credit. The fire demon growled and swiftly shifted their positions. He glared down at the ferry girl unamused. Botan, of course, grinned; she was pleased with herself.
"Clever minx," he rumbled. Before Botan could reply, he crashed his lips to hers, drinking in her moans of pleasure.
