It was a couple of hours later, maybe five or six, that Orihime stirred awake. A sensual feeling went through her body as her mind, now fully awake, figured out what was going on. She closed her eyes again and moaned as Ulquiorra kissed the back of neck. The spot was extremely sensitive for her, causing her body to arch at every touch of his lips. His erected member poked her rear, startling her while realizing that Ulquiorra must have woken up before her with something in mind.

Ulquirra spooned her from behind so her back was against his chest, lifting her leg over his. Her eyes opened as his fingers touched her tingling core. Her own fingers navigated there as well, holding her labia open as his cock slowly entered her.

Without saying anything, the two made love; the sound of bodies slapping and her sweet moans filling the room. Shortly after they climaxed, Orihime screamed Ulquiorra's name. He kissed her passionately, his hardened member still inside despite having his own release. He needed more.

Again, he began to thrust, her moans music to his ears once again.

Later that morning…

Surprisingly enough, they had all woken up late - just forty minutes before they had to head to the airport. Knowing that Grimmjow and Nel were both occupying the common bathroom at the same time, Orihime quickly showered in the bathroom located inside Ulquiorra's bedroom. Afterwards, she packed her belongings inside her suitcase before going downstairs for a quick breakfast.

Gin and Grimmjow were sitting by the kitchen island drinking coffee, and she muttered a cheerful good morning to them.

"Good morning to you too, Miss Orihime. Glad to see you more cheerful than usual on our last day," Gin said.

For a moment, she wondered if he knew what she and Ulquiorra had done last night several times. No, there was no way he could have.

She grabbed a small bowl, milk, and cereal. After preparing her breakfast, she sat by the kitchen island. They were still looking at her, she could tell, but she focused on her cereal. They had no more than five minutes left before having to return to the airport, and she didn't want to go home hungry.

"What's Ulquiorra doing, Princess? Surprised he's not here having coffee with us,"

Wiping the milk from her lips, she glanced at Grimmjow. "He went to load the car with our bags,"

"Of course," Grimmjow said, finishing his coffee. He caught Gin's mischievous look, smirking himself.

"Did you enjoy yourself during this trip, Miss Orihime?" the Shinigami asked, "I remember Rangiku telling me that you had doubts coming along with us,"

Orihime remembered the first time her friend told her about the trip, "Yes, I enjoyed my stay here. I appreciate you allowing me to come along, even though I didn't have the budget and you paid for my major expenses."

"Do not fret over such things," Gin said, "As long as you enjoyed yourself, that's all it matters,"

"Thank you,"

"Tell us, princess… What's your favorite part of this trip?"

Orihime turned her head to Grimmjow, thinking of what to say. She didn't have to guess what her favorite part was, and just thinking about it made her blush. But she couldn't tell them that.

"Well...I enjoyed the nightclubs! And attending your wedding, of course,"

"Uh huh," Grimmjow said with skepticism in his voice, "And what else?"

"Anything in particular with our dear friend Ulquiorra?"

Grimmjow snickered, and Orihime looked back and forth between them.

"Well, we went to see Hoover Dam...and had lunch together… He also bought me a couple of things…"

"Hmm, that's good to know that Ulquiorra took good care of you,"

"Oh, he took more than just good care of her," Grimmjow teased, "Never knew you were a screamer, Princess."

"You-You heard...that?"

"You weren't necessarily quiet the whole night,"

Her face turned even redder. Whole night? Did that mean that they heard her the several times her and Ulquiorra had sex? She wasn't that loud… Was she?

"How...did you hear...me…?" she asked nervously, afraid to hear their responses.

"The walls aren't that thick, Miss Orihime,"

"Yeah, you were screaming Ulquiorra's name and both of your Reaitsu's would flare up at the same time."

Orihime hid her face in the palms of her hands in embarrassment. Had it been Nel or Rangiku telling her this, she wouldn't have felt this way. But these were Gin and Grimmjow, and the latter made sure to make her feel more embarrassed than how she was currently feeling.

"Oh, don't feel so bad, Miss Orihime! We're all friends here, nothing to feel shy about."

The human girl wasn't sure what to say about that. The only thing she wanted to do now was escape from the awkward conversation.

"We're ready to leave!" Rangiku announced, and the human girl gave a sigh of release.

The group finished gathering their belongings before exiting, hopping into the different cars.

Ulquiorra had already been sitting on the driver's seat of the rental as she sat on the passenger side, both of their suitcases in the back. He started to reverse, exiting from the parking spot, and Orihime gave one last smile at the rental home.

"I'm going to miss this place. I wish we could've stayed longer…"

Putting the SUV to drive, Ulquiorra drove with one hand on the steering wheel as his other held hers.

"We'll plan another vacation when you are completed with your semester,"

She grinned at the idea. "Where should we go?"

"Where would you like to go?"

"What about...Hawaii?! Or...South Africa?! Maybe India? Oh, someone in my class told me that she is planning a trip to Cancun!"

She imagined herself in these different places, eating the different kinds of food and wearing their local beautiful clothes.

"We'll plan for all of them," Ulquiorra replied as he stopped by a red light. The airport was just five miles away.

The Espada turned his face towards her, grabbing her chin and facing her head towards him. Watching as he eyed her lips, Orihime leaned forward and kissed him quickly as the traffic light turned green.

"Are you in pain?"

"No. Well, a little. I'm sore… But it's not bad."

Ulquiorra didn't say anything as he made a right, entering the parking garage of the car rental facility. A man welcomed them, accepting the keys and doing a quick inspection. After providing final papers and receipt to Ulquiorra, he took the vehicle away as Orihime and Ulquiorra headed towards the airport.

It took them an hour to check in and go through security, leaving a good thirty minutes remaining before boarding. They walked hand in hand towards a Starbucks within their terminal, Ulquiorra buying her hot chocolate as he ordered himself a black coffee.

Rangiku and the rest of them joined them shortly after, apologizing for being late (Grimmjow had left his wallet in the rental home).

The boarding started afterwards, and Orihime took the opportunity to take one last picture: a selfie with Ulquiorra standing right by her side.

Similar to last time, her seat was next to his as the others sat across from them.

"What are you going to do...once we get home?" she asked Ulquiorra.

Part of her wondered what their relationship would look like once they got home. They didn't live together, and she still had her studies at the University, and he had a fulltime job.

The Espada grabbed her hand and ran his thumb against her knuckles.

"When do your classes resume?"

"In five days,"

He gave a single nod, "I can take more days off, and we can go somewhere. If not, I'll stop by each evening,"

She smiled at each idea, feeling the airplane move and the flight attendants start their safety procedures.

Regardless of what the plan was, she didn't care as long as they were together.

24 Hours Later…

Orihime was exhausted, and she tried her best to keep her eyes open while waiting for Ulquiorra to come back out. After landing in Japan, the group went to the house the Espadas shared with Gin. Ulquiorra showered and changed quickly while she waited for him in the living room. Just as she was ready to nap on the couch, he appeared in front of her, starting her awake.

He wore dark jeans and a long sleeve white Henley shirt with a thin leather jacket on top.

"Let's go," he said, grabbing her hand and helping her up.

They entered his Mercedes SUV, her luggage in the back, and headed towards her home.

Orihime couldn't wait to take a shower and sleep. She had not been able to sleep at all throughout the plane ride, mostly due to the fact that she kept thinking over and over about her new relationship with Ulquiorra and what her friends, particularly Uryu, would tell her the next time she saw them.

As soon as Ulquiorra was within ten minutes of her home, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Your friends are waiting for you,"'

"Wh-What? Who?"

She was never good at sensing anyone's Reaitsu, except for Ulquiorra's now. Nonetheless, knowing that her friends were already by her home waiting for her made her more nervous. She had hoped they would have visited her tomorrow, after she got a good sleep due to the jetlag.

"Rukia, Chad, Ichigo...and Uryu,"
