Gokudera POV

When people are born they are born with the first words their soulmates say to them tattooed across their skin. The handwriting is always the writing of your soulmates and other than your parents the only one who can see your marking is your soulmate. When you first hear them say your words it is believed to spark instant connection, love, respect, devotion beyond compare. Your skin becomes hot, the air around you hums and spins and suddenly everything is right. Its good, and whole and safe. They are made for you and you for them, and so nothing could stand in the way of this connection leading you together. Soulmates are 'newly discovered'. We did not always have them so visible. 100 years ago some forgiving god or misguided stroke of luck allowed for people to first be born with the marks on their skins. This 'first' generation of soulmates paved the way for the world, for the foundation of businesses, families, educational systems. The marks prohibit cheating, stripping away your connection should you ever betray them. However, our luck runs out at 30, when the marks disappear and our bonds shatter. Even with the words across our skin some people never find their soulmate.

Now, at 25 and growing painfully close to the cut off for finding ones soulmate I have all but lost hope of ever meeting them. So far anyone who had called me by my full name 'Gokudera Hayato!' had either been trying to kill me, stalking me, or someone I was trying to kill. When your soulmate has uttered the exact phrase as written on your skin and you have uttered theirs' you will feel instantly drawn to them, completed. The feeling; according to movies, TV, friends and family (and most importantly the Tenths own words-so it must be true!) was one that would ignite instantly, love and powerful loyalty and protection; feeling like you are finally connected to this world and to life.. That was what, according to Tenth, it felt like. So, as I have never felt anything more than foolish hope, rage or deep frustration in those moments, I sincerely doubted that I have run into my fated person. Each year becomes more difficult, and as I already find myself thinking of someone who is not my soulmate way more often than I should be (Like, everyday!) I have started to search for them in my free time. Going to clubs, to bars.. so far all I have found are drunks and people in the same boat.

I shook my head and focused on the hot water pounding into my shoulders as I finished washing, forcing myself not to look at the mark on my arm that always made me feel more depressed than I typically am whenever I allowed myself to look at it. It was only a matter of time… 'Ugh! Stop it already!' I hissed at myself as I climbed out of the shower and got ready for the day. I was supposed to go on a two week long mission with Hibari Kyouya today and the last thing I needed was to be thinking about love when he is around. Its not a secret to me that I have feelings for the ungrateful, rude, pissy chairman who to this day continues to prowl the hallways of nami-chu like a barely contained bull dog. I fell for him hard in middle school right after the battle with the varia. He had told me he would 'bite you to death.' As our first conversation, though, and I had called him a fucker, which caused an explosive argument that seems to be cause for us to either call each other names or ignore one another whenever we are not working. Its helpful for me to be away from him despite my desires telling me otherwise. We are obviously not a pair and as I still have five more years before I either find my soulmate or lose them forever (the thought causes me pain every time.) I could not allow myself to feel the deep want, love and affection that I feel for him. It isn't fair to my soulmate-they are waiting for me to find them, after all! Only if I fail to meet them could I begin to pursue my real feelings for Hibari and, deep down, I am unsure which outcome I would rather experience anymore. It's beginning to become suffocating.

"You're late, Herbivore.'' Hibari growled at me as soon as I met up with him at Namimori shrine. "Fuck you. It's five minutes.'' I spat out in return as I climbed into his car and he grunted at me. ''For your information, your five minutes has cost us five minutes of travel time, which we will need to ensure we arrive on time for the meeting.'' I rolled my eyes as I tossed my bag over the seat and strapped myself in while he drove away from the shrine and into town. I thought of numerous colorful things to say to the man but was able to control myself. We began talking about our escape plans should something occur during the mission which always leads to us fighting over something, and of course today wasn't any different. We started arguing over who should lead us out in contingency plan number 4. ''I'm the faster runner Herbivore.'' He growled out

''Im the one with the fucking LEPARD! You fucker! Besides, shouldn't the guy who can make dozens of tiny little animals stay behind and leave it to the big boys?'' I countered which earned me a fast one-armed punch that was easily dodged as he couldn't move from his posture behind the wheel. "I will bite you to death.'' He snarled at me, though I did not feel any actual killing intent from him.

''fuck you, you fucking fucker! If we end up in plan four we will be fucked if we don't decide now!"

''Then just let me go out first. We both know your able to calculate strategic maneuvers faster than anyone else. You should be the backup" he said, trying to make me see his reasoning. I stared at the side of his face for a minute. ''Do you think giving me a complement is enough to keep me from kicking ass?''

"No, I said what I know is true. I should lead us out in plan four. Just give it up.''

"Enough! Fine, we figure it out if it happens!" I said in exasperation.

"That is the attitude of someone who will die.'' He said this a little too calmly and I rolled my eyes. "No, it's the attitude of someone who wants to blow you the fuck up!" I hissed out while my fingers ached for a cigarette.

We continued to argue until one of us noticed a bumper sticker proclaiming that 'I'll put it in for 100$" and Hibari had to pull the fucker over on the side of the freeway entrance because he had to 'protect discipline.' In Namimori. Ugh! It took him fifteen minutes to write him a ticket and another ten to beat him senseless for 'being so unsightly.' Though he must have been beating his anger at me out on him, as the man passed out after one hit.

'

''Its three-fifty nine Hibari.'' I hissed at him as he drove at the pace of a salted snail down the fucking empty interstate. ''and?'' he prompted when my tone and comment seemed to be unclear to him. ''Che! Its now four o'clock AM! As in, 'in the morning!' which can translate to- why the fuck are you going so slow you fucker!?" I yelled, no longer composed after a good thirty hours beside the insanely handsome and completely unreasonable man. ''And?'' he asked again, not taking his eyes from the road. I glared at the side of his face. ''and? Did you not give me shit for holding us up five fucking minutes?! If you let me behind the wheel we could have been there hours ago! We still have a solid four more to go- if you would fucking drive like a normal person would on a deserted road at four oh-nine AM!" I screeched, my less than good mood from this afternoon having become progressively worse the longer the drive became and the slower he seemed to go!

"Need I remind you about the speed limit, Herbivore?" he asked, perfectly calm- no, he was enjoying this, he would be furious if I said this to him a few years ago, but we had been sent on enough of these long missions to have become pretty fucking good at reading each other. He was smiling, for fucks sake. Even when the trip first started I have always enjoyed fighting with Hibari, and I know he feels the same. We have fallen into a routine of fighting pointlessly on long trips for the hell of it just because we have to do SOMETHING.

''You- your driving this slow because of a fucking speed limit you fucking fucker!? '' He finally looked at me-well, no.. more like he eyed me for half a minute before responding.

''Yes. If you followed traffic regulations the police would not have taken away your drivers' lisence. Twice.'' I flipped him off. ''How the hell did you know about that?! I blew them sky high when they tried last time!" He smiled wider. ''Are you forgetting who runs the police department, Herbivore? It is my duty to set positive examples for the citizens.''

''Ugggggh! Cant you be normal for like, one fucking day?! No- for one fucking hour? And when have you ever been a good example? You kick the asses of weak people every day. How is going around pissed off all the time setting a good example?" I rambled, less angry as I clenched my hands against the cushy seats of his jet black Ferrari until the upholstery began to give and I felt a bit of triumph from the action.

"They know better than to cross me. I believe teaching them how to behave should be considered setting a good example.'' To this, I could only make another unhappy noise. "Besides, I do not mind the view, when going the actual speed limit you can enjoy the scenery, don't you think?'' he asked, both surprising me and pissing me off further as his smile became so wide that it must have hurt his face.

''Are. You. Fucking. With. Me. Hibari?'' I asked, enunciating each word. He smiled wider. ''Hnn I wonder?'' I resisted the urge to kill him. "Fucking Fucker!" I hissed at him, not able to think of a better response at that moment in time. He looked at me again and seemed to think for a moment before responding ''why do you feel the need to call me that every time?'' I smirked as I met his glare. ''It comes natural. You act like a fucking fucker-so I call you on it!" I said while he made an unhappy noise and looked back at the road. "Seriously, cant you move ten miles per hour faster? Just a little?'' I asked, trying a different approach.

"If we both lose our driving privileges we will have to walk home, Herbivore.'' I cussed at him. ''Fuck you! Ten miles wont get you a suspension. I was going 90 miles per hour in a school zone when they took mine last time!" I admitted, more proud of myself for not actually killing the police than ashamed about my actions. "That isn't something to brag about. Losing your license should make you more ashamed.'' He said while rolling his eyes.

I smirked. ''Its not that I don't feel embarrassed by it- but I'm proud I didn't kill your fucking cops for taking it.'' I replied, becoming frustrated at the memory.

''Excuse me? Who was it who blew up three police cars? Do you know how much time and money I had to put into keeping your position secret while maintaining my role? Three Months and 120,000 dollars.'' I shook my head, honestly shocked. "Seriously?" He nodded. ''Who do you think hides our activities?" to this, I just looked away from him and sighed to myself. I looked at the road to keep calm, to stop myself from either kissing him for protecting us all the time or yelling at him for helping me.

I began to calculate my odds of survival should I make my escape from the fucking car before one-or both, of those things happened. If I jumped out at just the right moment….

''What? Not angry anymore? You gave this one up pretty quickly. A few hours ago you went on for much longer about the bad service at that pathetic excuse for a rest stop.'' I sighed. ''Well, I was pissed you wouldn't let me kill the bitch. Anyone who takes over an hour to make and serve a cup of luke -warm chili and half a sandwich should be killed. And not tipped, at all. Yet you went and tipped her twice the bill. Of course I was-and still am, pissed about it.'' I seethed, yet another shitty experience on this fucking trip.

"She was a stupid herbivore, but she still has to eat.'' He answered simply as I lost all my fire power-again. A powerful ache in my chest bloomed to life once again, his looks are impressive but his heart is far more loyal and kind than anyone else's. If his personality wasn't so shitty when you first talk to him, well ok.. whenever you talk to him, more people would get to see how fucking insanely good he actually is! Thank god he's such an ass. Ugh! Why cant I just be thirty already? I need to kiss him! I shook my head from side to side while trying to find some shred of resolve before I did something stupid. What if… ''Hibari.''

''Yes?'' he responded, seeming lost in thought. ''Do you have a soulmate?'' the car actually skidded a few more miles per hour for that question, though only in passing. The odometer returned to its crawling 65mph.

''w-what?'' he asked, sounding more surprised than I had heard him in a very, very long time. ''Your partner, your lover…. You know, a soulmate. You do have words on your body somewhere, right?'' I asked, finishing with my own question.

"Of course I have one, Hibivore. We all do.'' I leaned back against the seat.

"No… I mean, have you found them? Your older than the rest of us. Your already 28 after all..''

''No. I have not found them. Nor do I want to, for that matter.'' I choked on air. ''What?!'' I gasped, shocked. He kept his eyes straight ahead. ''I don't want anyone I have yet to meet. There is someone I desire and I am looking forward to turning 30. Besides if they were a weakling I could die from their stupidity, that is unacceptable.'' He stated this calmly, cautiously. Forgetting-no, giving up on your soulmate before you found them? How would he know what he was missing? The one who was supposed to be there for him? The one person who would support him and love him regardless of time or place? What would that person feel if they were hearing this!? Suddenly, my chest hurt painfully. It was a bone deep ache that shot through me like lightening. I let out a shaky breath. What is that? It felt… wrong.

''How- how can you say that? Wouldn't you at least want to meet them once?'' I asked, trying to distract myself. This pain was different from the normal ache of wanting him and I did not like it!

''I don't.'' ouch. Ouch! I rubbed at my chest and took a few deep breaths. Why is it so painful? Why is it hurting like this- wrong, its wrong! I became frantic, desperate for him to tell me he needed his soulmate, but the pain was too much for me to express the thoughts. Suddenly, the car stopped and he had his hand on my arm. ''Are you alright?'' he asked, concern lacing his tone while his eyes became comically wide. ''Fu-it fucking hurts!'' i said, rubbing at my chest- though the pain is becoming a bit better now..

''Where? Let me see it.'' I looked over in his direction to find him inches from my face. Shit! The want hit me hard, harder than normal. Normally the want was controllable, this time… this time I could barely hold on to my senses.

"Hibari… m-move up a bit. Im ok.'' I whispered, watching as my breath moved his bangs while he loomed over me and placed a hand on my neck to check my pulse. ''Hnn.. it's a bit high, but nothing you should need to be concerned about. Your chest hurts? Where?'' he asked again, seeming to have gone into 'lets check gokudera out no-matter-what-mode.' For some god-forsaken reason.

But at the same time I couldn't fight back and I couldn't tell him not to unbutton my suite shirt and probe my chest. The pain eased with his touch as the want began replacing the agony. Where the hell had that pain come from? "Hibari… don't just touch me as you please.'' I choked out, barely containing a sob. His eyes seemed to laser focus on me for long enough to see something like fire in his eyes. 'Goku-no.. let me check this, Herbivore.'' He ordered before continuing to check me over. I bit the inside of my mouth.

''Are you ok? Your breathing steady again. '' he commented, pulling away and meeting my eyes. ''Do-do me a favor?'' I asked when the thought once again popped into my head. ''What?'' he asked, raising an eyebrow. ''Please… don't renounce them. Even if you don't want them, some people will do anything they can to hold out hope that someone will love them. Don't discount their feelings, alright?'' he looked shocked for several minutes before nodding at me. ''I can see that.''

We sat staring at each other for a few more minutes, until I realized he was waiting for me to tell him how I was feeling…which was pretty fucking horny, to be honest. ''I feel better, thanks.'' I finally managed to get out, watching as he seemed to measure my words before he nodded.

''good.'' Was all he said before he buckled himself again and pulled back onto the highway. I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing for the rest of the trip.

''I thought we would never make it!'' I cried in relief when we pulled into the meeting site in Shibuya six hours later. ''It would have been faster if you hadn't had that weird…pain. Is it better?'' he asked me again. ''Hibari, I am fine. How many times do I have to say it? I don't know what happened!'' I watched as he nodded to me but otherwise he did not speak another word while he parked the car. I pushed myself out of the car and stretched my arms. ''Sweet earth!'' I shouted to no one in particular as I listened to hibari snort in amusement before he got out of the car and rummaged in the trunk. ''check in is in exactly two minutes. You do it while I unload.'' I cussed at him but started walking to the door anyway.

The woman behind the desk was small and cute, almost like a doll. "I'm here to check in for a one week stay.'' I said as I stood at the desk. "Are you Gokudera Hayato?" She asked, which of course caused me to hold my breath while I replied ''I am.'' I said, refusing to feel hope. Her eyes widened a fraction and I couldn't stop myself from reaching out and putting my hand on hers. ''Did I..?" I asked while she started blushing. ''Did I?" she asked in a hopeful tone, but then the moment faded quickly as she and I both suddenly felt empty. No, she isn't mine. Shit! "You said most of them.. Im sorry I touched you.'' I said, embarrassed. ''No-its ok! I'm 29 so, so I just…" She trailed off and stared at her computer. I was too awkward to speak, simply trying to do anything but look her in the eyes. I felt comfort spread through me as someone touched my shoulder, and I instinctively knew it was Hibari.

''Oi, why is it taking so long, Herbivore?'' he asked while sending a glare at the poor woman. ''Shut up- I made a mistake about the words, ok? So it took her longer. Don't blame her.'' Hibari got very still beside me and clutched my shoulder tighter.

She continued to focus on her task without commenting before pulling out keys from the drawer beside her.

''You two are set for your single room, with one king bed.'' She said in a soft voice but then lost her smile quickly as she read the expression on both of our faces. ''Sharing a room?! We are supposed to have adjoined separate rooms, you idiots!" I bellowed, forgetting my mistake and embarrassment as sudden fear hit me in waves.

Hibari tightened his hand on my shoulder to try to reign me in. I took a deep breath. The woman looked at us with both fear and professionalism that, frankly, was commendable considering Hibari's glare and my yelling. ''I apologize, I am happy to give you 20% off your stay, however we do not have any rooms like that currently available.'' I forced myself to keep calm while Hibari sighed next to me and held out his hand. ''The keys, then."

Our room was on the top floor and when we finally made it up the stairs and inside I nearly gasped outright in shock. The bed was huge, white and tucked in against the wall. There was a small-fully functional kitchen with a breakfast bar, a lush couch and two chairs and a huge balcony that overlooked the nearest temple and the fulliage around it. "Its beautiful." I murmuered to myself as I moved to look out of the balcony, my bag long forgotten. I felt his warmth before he officially joined me on the deck. ''It is. Not as beautiful as Namimori, though. Namimori is more lush and powerful.'' I rolled my eyes. ''Cant you just enjoy a moment without thinking about your damn city?" I asked, realizing that we were, in fact, having a moment. He held my eyes for a minute too long before smirking at me. ''I cant help it, it is where I most enjoy being.'' I sighed.. so much for the moment.. Though I guess I shouldn't be having them with him, anyway.

"Hey, Herbivore." I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. ''What? Cant you call me by my name, like, one time you fucker?" He smiled ''I will when you stop calling me a fucking fucker." I smiled, too. ''Then I guess we will forever be at an impasse, the words fit you too well for me to stop saying them!" Just then the air between us became heavy and he leaned forward much like he had in the car, he put his hand on my chest. ''W-what?" I stammered out while he held my eyes. ''Are you feeling better? Im still concerned about what happened before…'' I nodded, clearing my throat ''I don't know why it happened, or what it was, but im feeling fine now.'' I said, hoping he would stop showing me sides of himself that would lead me to love him more!

He nodded and then leaned forward to rest his head on my shoulder. ''Please don't stray to far from me… I have an odd feeling.'' I felt my heart pound intensely. ''Okay.. but you have to stick to me, too.'' I could feel him smirk against my neck. ''Your heart is beating so fast.'' He whispered softly. ''S-so? Anyway.. c-can you let go?" I asked stupidly, why the fuck did I stutter!

"Four and a half more years right?" he asked suddenly while he pulled away. ''huh?'' I raised an eyebrow. ''until your thirty, four and a half years, right?" I stood there in surprise and shock and..and hope before nodding slowly. ''Its two for you… yea?'' I asked, my want beating into me. ''Yes. Anyway, we should get going.'' And he turned his back to me and walked away without another word.

'

We walked into the bar, closing the door behind us and walked up to the bar tender. ''Gokudera Hayato.'' I said in greeting and he nodded, set down his glass and motioned for another man to come over. ''Gokudera Hayato- show them the way.'' The bar tender barked out, and of course the stupid 'urge' came over me as my words were uttered for the thousandth time.

The man looked us over once before he began to show us the way to the underground tunnel the meeting would be held in. The familliga gathered here were the strongest in Japan; Vongola, Nos, Gillio-tara, Visalto. The meetings held here are the most important information sessions and guarantee either peace for another two years or the potential for a war. Sizing each-other up was natural, and this man seemed to be powerful- not anywhere near powerful enough to stop either of us, but with the bar so full of the men from other familliga and their women it was almost impossible to get a read on them all.

Typically tenth and reborn-san are the ones to attend, but tenth had just married his soulmate, Kyoko-san when the sudden request to have Vongola representatives present for a conference of the four famillia's was received. Reborn stayed behind to manage Vongola while he made Hibari and I go. Our mission? To report back on the meeting and act as tenth's representatives in case of crisis and during any and all negotiations. It was likely that this meeting was set up at this time on purpose, when our boss was effectively out of commission. It was an honor to take tenth's place at the table, and also highly important that we not miss anything. We walked in to find the three other leaders waiting at two large tables and took the last two seats available before the older of the group began the meeting.

Four Hours later:

"So, let me make sure I am understanding you correctly. You are proposing that The Vongola provide you with 124,000,000.00 yen by wire transfer to ensure information is not leaked out?'' Hibari asked, practically chilling the entire room with his aura. He was clearly furious at the leader of the Gillio-tara familliga. The man and at least twenty other people surrounded us as we participated in the meeting between Vongola, Gillio-tara, Nos, and Visalto famillia's.

''Oi,Oi! First your leader did not show himself and now you speak that way? You think you can decline my offer so easily?'' the older man boomed while the Nos and Visalto famillia bosses watched from their respective sides of the tables. I reached into my pocket to feign nonchalance while pulling out a smoke. ''Yes, actually. We are declining.'' I said firmly, confidently.

The other man stood up, shaking now. ''Don't you care about what kind of information I have on me! I have information that could shake the foundation of Vongola and NOS!'' the other don boomed, smacking his fist against the table. I sighed and met the eyes of the female boss of the Nos famillia, second to Vongola in Japan, who seemed just as disinterested as I was in whatever he had to say.

''Then why don't you enlighten me?''

He met my eyes and smirked. The confident fucker. ''I hold the information capable of destroying Vongola and Nos! I have obtained one of the soulmates from a mafioso in each of your groups and sold them back to your people for information. The Nos famillia has multiple stock in big gun companies, many of which are overseas and that is MY territory! Only those of my Gillio-tara famillia can use the gun trades, we all agreed on it! Additionally, Nos has been recently dipping into human trading!" He announced causing Hibari and I to look at the Nos boss. ''Can you prove I involve myself in this business? I, unlike you, have enough resources to sustain my famillia without such foolishness.'' She said this calmly but her eyes blazed with barely contained rage.

He continued as though she had not spoken a word. '' Furthermore, Vongola swore never to touch anything regarding the trading of weapons and yet your man's information tells me that one of the guardians' soulmates is working for overseas trading services!'' Hibari and I glanced at one another before Hibari smirked. "Interesting considering that none of the Vongola guardians have successfully found their soulmate. It would be difficult to prove that we are involved in whatever issue you seem to be having. Based on the amount you are requesting, I would assume someone has begun to steal your merchandise?''

The don nearly hissed at us ''yes- you motherfuckers stole my profits!'' I sighed again. ''is that all? That is the information which will shake Vongola's foundation? Why, because you believed we had stolen money? You think our familliga, the largest in the world; would need your money?'' I spat, annoyed and slightly insulted at the man's insistence.

''Fuck you! So what if you're the biggest? Fine- then how about this? I know that vongola has a top secret contract from the government of Japan! Your working with the cops! If people found out about this, you think others will trust you? Nos, Visalto?" he asked, clearly not backing down. Hibari's knee hit mine, rubbed against me once, then pulled back. ah, he's asking if he should enlighten them of his position. I pushed back twice, hard before he nodded just as the Nos famillia's representative stood up.

"For your information, Don Gillio-tara, the Nos have been in the gun trade far longer than you. While in the last meeting it is true that you and Vongola swore not to involve yourselves in each other's main sources of trade, Nos never made such a promise. Also, we would never steal human life for money! I, the leader of the Nos would have been informed of this.'' The beautiful female with glistening jet black hair and deep green eyes then made eye contact with me. ''Your… Gokudera Hayato?'' she asked, looking impressed. I tried my best not to react. How many people have said my name in the last twenty five years?

''And?'' I prompted, not willing to back down or become distracted from my goal. Her eyes widened, but then she shook her head. ''I heard you were more firey than this. I would have expected you to beat this old coot senseless by now.'' She said, ignoring the increasing volume of the don's curses. I smirked.

'' what can I say? The man bore's me.''

"You two fuckers- thinking to ignore me! I am the sitting head of the Gillio famillia!'' he boomed, making Visalto and Nos flinch slightly. The men they had brought-three each, moved closer to the tables while the don's men-12 in total, began to surround him.

"Enough!" Hibari yelled, causing everyone to stop, postures to relax and don's to sit back down.

''I will commend you for your efforts to extort money from the Vongola, Don Gillio, however I have no intention of providing it to you. The Vongola never accepts or offers bribes, not in this generation, at least. Furthermore, while I have nothing to do with Nos I do not believe that they would be required to follow Vongola's lead and surrender trades to you. We would not have asked that of them, as they are not a famillia under us." He said this calmly, as always, but his tone was seething with rage.

''B-but!''

'Additionally, I will also have to ask that you not make accusations about the Vongola without solid evidence. Have you any proof that we have ties to the police? Aside from someone's word of mouth while trying to save their soulmate? People will do anything to save their mate, can you prove that you were not lied to?'' he continued, piercing the don with his glare. The other man stood his ground for a few more seconds before slinking back into his seat.

"Now, is this meeting over already? Or do you have something else? We would rather not spend a week fighting with you people about this matter.'' He glared at them, making eye contact with each mafioso in the room.

''Of course there is more to discuss. Hibari Kyouya. We, the Visalto familliga are hoping to make a temporary contract with your diamond trades with china while we recoup our losses from the hurricane that rocked most of north Africa.'' The leader of the Visalto familligia spoke professionally, cutting through the tension and seeming to silence the room for several minutes before Hibari smirked and I met the man's eyes. " What happened to your other trades? As I recall your familligia has the monopoly on Africa and the Philippines, but we all keep our top trades to ourselves. Why would you need my familliga to bail you out?'' I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He sighed. "Because we lost too much revenue from our African trades. Now, even with our most lucrative work we are still facing millions in loss. If we can work with Vongola for six months… we would be able to stabilize again, and I would owe you a major favor.'' He said, seeming hopeful for our aid.

''Herbivore, there is no way Vongola will give you access to our intel or sales. We will not risk our information by placing it in enemy hands.'' I raised an eyebrow… why would he say enemy right to his face!

''You- are you saying I should be worried about your familligia?'' I cut in while kicking Hibari under the table.

"No, not at this time. However, we will not risk information being shared outside of our family. We also will not believe that you will repay us for your losses. While we do understand your issue we will not compromise our familliga. Now… if you were to offer up some support in other ways, we may be able to reach a financial agreement.'' I said, meeting his eyes to watch my words sink in.

"What do you want?" he asked, seeming both desperate and uncertain at the same time. ''I want your access to the diamond mines in Africa for one month.'' I said, leaning back in my chair. ''What?! I'm trying to recoup my losses not-'' "You will get double what your looking for.'' I said, cutting him off. All the mafioso now staring at me. ''What?''

I smirked. "Vongola gets your diamonds for one month, all of them; then we show you how to actually sell them correctly so you don't have to beg us like this again. Call it a work share, you give us your diamonds and you can follow one of my men personally while he sells them to a few important-but not vital, Vongola trade contacts. Sound fair?''

I asked, hoping this would work. The Visalto have few mines, but the ones they do have are premium quality.

''You willingly offer me the access to your knowledge and two information sources?'' He asked, seeming doubtful. I smiled. ''Of course. As I said, we are the biggest famillia, we have multiple ways of getting things sold- I see no issue with sharing one or two contacts in exchange for the payout I foresee the month providing us.'' He seemed to consider before nodding and pulling out some paper. We reviewed the agreement, word for word and I signed it. " Do you two feel you can hold both of our sides accountable?'' I asked, looking at Nos. There was something about the woman I felt I could trust.. she met my eyes, hers seeming to blaze before nodding. The Gillio-tara don agreed, as well.

Hibari stood up. ''Then, as it is becoming late, I would like to find out if you have more matters we need to discuss today, or if we could meet again tomorrow for further discussions?'' I pulled my eyes away from her, reading a certain stiffness to his stance that I didn't like. Something was wrong.

The other dons agreed, setting our meeting time for 8pm the following day.

As we left the bar and were a block away from the venue where we had parked his car behind a bumpster the Nos boss suddenly called out to me. ''Gokudera-san!'' we both stopped and turned to meet her as she ran after us alone, her men no where in sight. ''Thank you for earlier. I realize it was not your intention to stand up for me, but I appreciate it all the same.'' I raised an eyebrow. ''Yea.. sure? I don't really remember. What is your name again? I only heard your 'Nos boss' title.'' I asked, trying to be polite. She smiled, extending her hand to me. ''its Shibata Sala.'' I reached for her hand, fake smile still on my face. ''Nice to meet you.'' Then her hand touched mine and she cussed, loudly and painfully before yanking her hand away from me. ''W-why!'' she screeched, tears beginning to stream down her face. ''Uh? What's wrong? Why are you freaking out?!" I screeched back, Hibari putting a hand on my shoulder to calm me which seemed to draw her attention.

''You- Its your fault, Hibari Kyouya! My mate- Give. Him. Back!" she yelled, people now coming out of their homes. ''What? I don't recall stealing your soulmate, or anyone's soulmate for that matter.'' He said matter of fact. I stood there, numb. My mind grasping the situation with growing horror. Her reaction this afternoon when I first spoke to her….. could I have said her word? Could she have mistaken me for her soulmate? ''Yes you did! Your doing it Right. Now!'' she yelled, producing a box. I moved from Hibari's side, trying to figure out what was happening.

''Listen.. Sala, right? I'm sorry for any misunderstanding on my part, but are you perhaps under the impression you are my soulmate?'' I asked, hearing Hibari make a shocked noise behind me.

Her eyes widened. ''You- you didn't feel the pull? When you said my words.. there is no mistaking the pull and just now… the pain that shot through me was clear as day! Your mine and you cheated on me!" she bellowed in obvious distress. ''No! Your wrong, Im sorry but I did not feel any pull from you! None. Not only that, but I wasn't shocked just now, which I would have been if I had done anything like what your claiming.'' I explained, trying to calm her down enough to see reason.

She blinked at me, wiping at her eyes. ''W-what? But… but I- I cant be wrong!'' and with that she grabbed me by my tie and mashed our lips together. I wasn't sure what I was expecting to happen, white hot desire, love and devotion? So many people claim the pull is all powerful and impossible to resist. It feels like your instantly bound… But none of those things happened. Instead I felt sick, so fucking sick I thought I would vomit. I was about to push her off me when I felt Hibari pulling us apart with enough force to make me fall into his arms and her to nearly fall flat on her face.

''He said your mistaken. Leave before I kill you.'' He growled out, so angry that I thought he may blow everything and actually attack her. She looked at me in stunned silence while wiping at her eyes. ''How… but when you said my words..'' I met her eyes while trying to get my stomach to unknot. Thankfully Hibari was good at that, his touch had always soothed me more than anything else ever had but the intense sick feeling remained. This is what it feels like to kiss someone who isn't yours, huh?

I took a deep breath and decided to go for it. ''did you feel sick, too?'' I asked seeming to shock both of them. ''No, I didn't feel sick! How rude! I felt good, right, whole! How could you feel SICK?!" she screeched again, not willing to see reason.

"I love someone else, I don't know why your so insistent but I'm sorry, I'm not your mate.'' I was starting to get dizzy, suddenly my legs didn't feel right at all. ''At least… at least tell me that I said your words.. at least tell me that! Because there is no way I could feel a pull if we didn't say our words.'' She countered, a rational enough thought, to be sure. ''Sort of? Most people say my words in conversations with me. But I didn't feel the pull when you said it.'' I explained, watching as her shoulders fell and she lowered her box weapon. "I see… I'm sorry. I was so sure that…. I'm sorry..'' she said trailing off. I clutched Hibari's shirt, not wanting to let go for even a moment, the dizziness slowly beginning to subside.

"Wait.'' I looked up, Hibari had one arm around me but his face was still hard, cold- he looked resigned and absolutely miserable. ''It's possible that this is my fault. I have specifically been trying to find a way to avoid my soulmate and have taken a few different medications which actively help to remove the power of the word's connecting capabilities.…. If for some reason my proximity to him has caused his reaction to you, I apologize.'' I gaped at him, my heart clenching painfully. ''What! You-your taking something like that?! Why? Why cant you let them have two more fucking years before you lose them forever?!" It felt like my heart was breaking for someone I didn't even know. Suddenly the dizziness and pain became worse. It was so intense and powerful despite his touch that I nearly screamed in agony.

He gave me a look. ''Because I want to be with the person I love no matter what, and I apparently never said their words, so this is my only chance.'' He explained, so sincere that it took all of my self-control not to cry. How can someone be so devoted to a person who isn't their mate?

"Then… then get away from him! If he isn't yours and you may be doing this to us you don't have the right to be anywhere near him!" she screamed, getting her fire back. I looked back at her while trying to make sense of the information. Could she be mine? But.. but I don't find her any more attractive than I did the girl at check in. Could my feelings for Hibari be causing me to reject her? Maybe I was cheating on her emotionally and causing these reactions?

"Im sorry. I don't want you." I whispered, to her and to myself.

"But- then, come to my room tonight. We don't need to touch, just, just stay away from that man long enough for whatever he takes to wear off of you. Please, I'm begging you." Hibari loosened his hold on me, pushing me forward. ''NO! I'm not hers!'' I heard myself call out while I became so sick again that I thought I may pass out. But I felt it bone deep, I knew that she would never be mine and that I wasn't hers.

''I-no! I am not yours, Im sorry, I really am. But Everything in me is screaming that I am NOT your mate. Please let it go. We are fellow mafioso, that is all we will ever be.'' I expected her to fight me on it, to keep going as she had been when her arm started to shine and she cried out. ''No!'' but it was too late, suddenly words shot out of her arm at an alarming speed and disappeared as she collapsed into a ball on the ground, clutching her arm and sobbing. Had-Had I just denounced my soulmate?!

"H-how?.'' Hibari breathed, just as shocked as I was. I yanked my sleeve up to check but the words were still there. I shook my head. ''They are still on my arm.'' I whispered while looking at her as sudden awareness donned on me. ''You- the reason I didn't feel anything and the reason you screamed when you touched me with the arm your words were on… its because YOU are the one cheating on YOUR Mate! Just now- Just now both our words would have vanished if I denounced you, mine are still clear as day!" I hissed, furious. She continued to sob while holding her arm and muttering 'sorry, Jo' over and over.

Hibari wrapped his arm around me again while letting out a deep breath. I automatically leaned against him and grabbed his arm in relief at his touch. Even though the sick feeling was still intense and the pain in my chest had started up again.

Hibari looked at her practically seething in rage ''So you thought to feign a bond? For what end? You knew what would happen didn't you?'' she looked up with pain and anger in her eyes. ''Of course- but I had to! I had no choice in the matter, if I didn't do this my mate would have been killed! They are most likely being hurt right now! And now that our bond isn't there… even with our connection already being in place!" she began to cry again.

I looked at Hibari and put my hand on his where he was touching my waist. "We will talk about the pills later. Right now lets do what we can to figure it all out.'' And he nodded at me, though he was not happy about it. I let go of him and grabbed her arm, pulling her to me before whispering. ''Lets go somewhere to discuss this. If your mate is in danger we will help you.'' She met my eyes and nodded, burring her face into my shoulder.

;

She clung to me while Hibari drove us to our hotel, partly due to her continuous sobs and partly due to our needing to play along with whatever roose she had been ordered to create for us. Still… touching her was sickening. Was touching someone who isn't your soulmate always this revolting? But I touch Hibari and the Tenth and Takeshi and they do not make me sick. Maybe your mate has to be the same gender as the person you cheat on them with? Ugh!

When had she even been set up? What was my role in this? I had no idea but thinking logically it would have had to be something to do with this meeting. The Gillio-tara don had clearly been misinformed because I didn't sense he was lying in there. So that must have been some rumor going around. Now, if the rumor about her famillia were true and she was trying to use us to cover it up, making me her fake soulmate long enough to figure out how to use us would make sense. Even still… her tears were real. She was clearly in pain and her words were gone; we saw them leave her. She sobbed out another man's name again and again and I didn't get the feeling that we couldn't trust her. No.. it had felt like she was an ally of ours back in the meeting.

"Shibata, are you done touching him yet?" Hibari barked from the drivers' seat. She sniffled and wiped at her eyes. ''I want to cling to my fiance' but shes not here anymore! My mate may be dead and ill never know! So if I want a shoulder to cry on let me have it!" she hissed at him with tears still running down her face. He glared at her from the rearview mirror.

I sighed and rested my head against the seat. ''Once we get into the hotel, your letting me go. Your making me physically ill.'' I muttered while my head was pounding and spinning at the same time. UGH! This sucks! She sniffled again ''Sorry. I-I've never touched anyone who had found their mate before.. and not with-with those motives, so-so maybe your body is trying to reject the contact.''

"Huh?" I and Hibari echoed eachother. Both of us confused by her statement ''W-what? You… don't tell me you met them and don't know it?! I know latent soulmates and those who have yet to say words sometimes don't know but… if you have this strong a reaction to me its either the curse eating at you for touching someone who has a mate-which wouldn't make sense given the situation, or you have a mate and your body is pissed that your touching someone else.'' She said as she cleared her throat and began scrubbing at her face. She then proceeded to rest her head on my shoulder. I met Hibari's eyes instinctively to find that he was still looking at me. I gulped.

"As I was doing research into soulmates there are a few things I found along the way. First, lets say I believe you when you say your mate had been taken. You would have known if he was dead, even if the pair is gone. Some soulmates are able to meet after the 30 year mark if the bond is strong enough. I also found out that soulmates whose bond is particularity strong will die at the same time regardless of the circumstance so if your bond is completed and you are still living that could indicate that he is most likely alive as well." She sat up, pushing away from me and nearly choking herself on her seatbelt in her haste. ''A-Are you certain?!" hope flashed in her eyes. Ah, yes, she was telling the truth.

"Yes, I am. I wouldn't lie about this primarily because that fool places a lot of importance in this area." I flipped him off and rolled my eyes which earned me a smirk.

"I also know that you can denounce a soulmate but both mate's words will disappear which was how we knew you are not his and how this was your punishment from the soulmate connection you share. Sometimes when connections are powerful the body may physically project illness to another to limit contact. Has anyone ever told you they were sick from you touching them before? I think that would make the most sense given the situation" I continued to hold eye contact with him as he spoke. My stomach still hurting like hell even after she let me go.

''No. Never, though I had never tried to do what I was planning until today, so maybe the feeling impacted it? Either way, if theres even a slim chance she is alive I'll do anything to get her back!'' she said, redirecting him to his earlier comment.

"I wouldn't know however if my information is correct you would be dead right now if your bond is strong enough to withstand the loss of the base of the connections.'' She went silent at this, clearly unsure if they had a strong enough bond to share death. Thankfully, she was so deep in thought that she did not touch me again for the remainder of the drive.

When we had safely entered our room and closed the blinds she sat down in the seating area with Hibari. I had made it ten steps into the room before I landed on the bed and then propped myself up on his bag so I could at least listen. He did not touch me when we got out of the car or walked up the steps, but I felt his eyes on me and Shibata, who had to walk next to me arm in arm in case we were followed. The fatigue was getting to me and the sick feeling had started to get worse. Now the pit of my stomach ached pathetically and my chest and head pounded at a never ending pace. What the fuck!

"You good?" He asked me when he was finished securing the room and sitting across from Shibata. I gave him a small smile and forced my voice to be normal. ''Tired. I can hear just fine.'' He held my gaze a moment longer before turning back to her.

''So, tell us what happened. You are the head of the Nos correct? How on earth did someone steal your mate from you?" he asked and I could almost hear his unspoken comment. 'how could you degrade yourself? How could you be so weak? Have you no pride?' but he kept it to himself, so I didn't bother to comment.

"No… I'm not. My soulmate is. We share a rare bonding as we are both females. I am the mate of the Nos famillia boss, Nos-Alazana Jo." I sat up quickly making my head spin and I nearly lost my dinner.

"you- how were you able to act properly in that meeting? How could they have gotten your mate when she is the boss of the Nos? What the hell?!" I cursed.

She met my eyes 'We are always together so I have attended meetings with her before. Because none of you would know my face I had to give it a shot. She only took over the family a year ago so there was no one there who could identify me as being a fake. As for the kidnapping… she was investigating the missing mates of one of our low ranking members when she was surprised from behind. She is incredibly powerful but they had gotten to me and used me as a weapon against her. She had no choice but to stand down and then they ordered me to come to this meeting and get close to Gokudera Hayato, who they were positive would be attending.'' I opened my mouth in surprise, but Hibari was the first to speak.

"Do you know what they wanted from him? If they knew he was going to come here they must have helped set this up- and must also be aware that our boss is on his honeymoon half-way across the globe." She nodded.

"Jo- she told me about it, that Vongola's tenth was gone for a month to celebrate his wedding to his mate. We even bought a gift for him for the return reception. I think Gillio-tara and Visalto also knew about it ahead of time. So, whoever it is.. if they were on that guest list..'' she trailed off. Hibari grimaced. In other words, whoever this is was someone who we trusted enough to go to that party.

"And you didn't see anything that would remind you of who? The face of her kidnapper?'' I asked from across the room while still recovering strength. She shook her head. ''They kept me blindfolded. I do know that they took us to a bunker.. something that was unusually cold and high up; not underground. I recall seeing bright blue sky above me when I was there and had been able to peek out from under my blindfold a tiny bit.'' I sighed. Of course.

"So.. they ordered you to become his mate during this meeting? That's all?'' Hibari asked again, to be as clear as possible. She nodded again. ''Yes. I was ordered; 'Find Gokudera Hayato at the meeting for the famillia next week, then act as a go between for us as a spy. They wanted the location of your hideout and the blueprints to a new mini mall being built with the tenth's assistance. They also wanted the location of a safe. He said that if I was the mate of a guardian I would be entitled to these things.'' I groaned. The mall? Tenth was using it as our connecting point. It is the place for members of the family to go if danger arose. Plus it was also where one of the vaults was being concealed... One of seven to be exact. Each guardian and then the tenth had one of them and each one is containing a different top-secret file and enough money, jewels and lists of family member locations to destroy us. How the fuck did these bastards even know? The only two people in the family who knew all the locations of each vault from each guardian. Tenth and myself as I am helping strategize on their whereabouts with each family member!

Hibari watched me, seeming to think about our options. ''Hey, Herbivore.'' He called, motioning for me to sit next to him. I sighed but felt intensely in need of his touch as always, so I forced myself to move. I stood and settled myself beside him while the splitting headache lessened. ''Sala-san, keep pretending to be doing your job. Act as his mate- but try not to touch him again. Keep up the act as though you two were not touching on purpose.. can you do that? We will lend you support in exchange for information as needed and your full support in the meeting-both physical and strategically. Sound fair?'' he asked, both protective and clear minded.

I instinctively put my hand on his knee. My head finally stopped spinning as he looked at me. He was protecting me and that took my mind away from of the pain. As I touched him his face began to soften.

"Are- are you sure your not mates?" Sala asked suddenly causing us both to look at her. ''What?" I asked, shocked. "Well… even if you didn't say words…like you said before, Hibari-san some latent mates build a bond that is too strong, strong enough to negate words' connective abilities." Hibari and I were silent while she continued. '' His touch is helping the sickness, right Gokudera-san? The way you looked at him just now is like Jo looked at me. I dont know how to tell though.. Not without the words being said.. But the vibe between the two of you is just so mate-like..'' She trailed off and I couldn't stop myself from entertaining the idea.

"Sala, can you go back to your hotel? If you think it is safe? You have been with us long enough that I would be surprised if they had doubts. As we share a room it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume we could not spend the night together.'' I asked, trying to be alone with him to talk about this.

She nodded with a wistful look on her face. ''Of course. The men with me will worry about me anyway. They know what is happening, after all.'' And with that she stood and Hibari offered to walk her out which took him only a few minutes. I sat there in silence taking slow breaths and forcing myself to calm down. Could we be..?

He was locking the door behind her when I spoke ''Stop taking the suppressants, Hibari.'' I whispered, my heart suddenly painful from the intensity of the emotions, the hope and the want and the love I'd felt all these years making more and more sense. '' Ok'' He said, voice barely controlled. I know his voice, he's forcing himself to act calm. I felt genuine fear, though, because he had been taking them to get rid of a bond-our bond? For someone else. I nearly began to sob.. if that were the case then we might as well never try to find out!

I was trying to get myself together while combatting the overwhelming sickness when he sat beside me again and pulled me against him. I looked at him in instant relief while raising an eyebrow. ''What?'' I asked, confused by the sudden contact. Granted he was touching me more than normal during this trip but that was because I was sick..

He looked at me and gave me a real smile. ''Interesting night.'' I smiled back and then leaned against him ''Understatement of the fucking century.'' I said as I reached for the remote to the TV. We turned it on and I flipped through channels while trying to distract myself from the pain that still rocked through me with every breath. Even his touch isn't getting rid of it completely. Fuck.

I finally stopped trying to find anything to watch and put the remote down. I was about to ask who he thought should sleep on the couch-and who Would be, when he spoke in a surprisingly thick voice

"Do you want us to be?" he whispered as his hand moved to rest on my waist again. I let out a sigh and took a moment before responding. ''I-I wouldn't hate it.'' I said, my fingers beginning to tremble as he let out a deep breath. ''I wouldn't hate it, either… No, to be honest with you I would be happy about it.'' And suddenly time stopped. I couldn't process his words or the way my heart beat so hard I thought it may explode. ''Does my touch help the sickness?'' I smiled a tight smile at him and nodded before putting my head on his chest. ''It helps. I feel like shit, like my mind is all fuzzy and im about to hurl! But its lessening now.. it was so bad when you weren't touching me.'' He moved his other hand up and placed it on my head, running his fingers though my hair as I took another deep breath and tried to control the sickness. His fingers felt so good in my hair that I closed my eyes in bliss for a few minutes. '' Hibari.. can you..'' I couldn't get the words out. If he was mine.. if we really are mates then-then I want more of his touch. So much more of it.

'' are you sure? You could lose them if this is wrong.'' He asked as his eyes met mine and they fucking burned into me. His eyes were so soft and so much more intense than I've ever seen them before…and I just.. just knew I needed his touch. I moved before I could think about it further and put my hand on his cheek. His eyes seemed to heat up even more intensely as he bridged the gap between our lips and I was hit with such intense need that I clutched at his shirt. He deepened the kiss almost instantly and tangled his fingers into my hair.

When we pulled back for much needed air he whispered ''You good?''

"Fuck… yes.'' I said while my voice betrayed me and he kissed me again so gently that I felt the tears fall and wrapped my arms around his neck.

We kissed for hours. His hands in my hair while I let my fingers roam over his back. It was gentle, and needy, and desperately sweet. The way his tongue moved with mine.. it was so fucking good.

''More.'' He said against my lips and I knew.. knew he wanted me under him, laid out and gasping. ''more, please.'' He whispered again as the tremble in his voice undid me. ''I-If im.. if im not… you better fucking take responsibility. Ok?'' I said while pulling back enough to see his face. He smirked at me before resting his hands over my heart. ''I promise.'' And with that he gently pushed me away before standing up and offering me his hand. I took it instantly and he pulled me to him as he lead us to the bed and pushed me down into the mattress. '' tell me if you need me to stop. If you don't want whatever we do.. tell me.'' He rasped out as need overtook his tone and I trembled as I realized what he meant, that he would stop no matter what we were doing or how far we were getting.. That if I needed him too, he would listen. That he would never touch me to hurt me and I couldn't hold back a wave of desperation and hope and terror that he may not be mine. ''I want us. I want this so fucking badly.'' I whispered in response and he smiled at me ''I want an us, too. I want you, I don't care about our soulmates- I desperately want you. More than anything.'' As I gasped out in shock and need at his words he was leaning forward and kissing me again and his hands began working on the buttons of the suite shirt as I moaned into our kiss. Soon he was roaming his hands along my chest and slowly getting me out of my shirt.

"ah-fuck.'' I moaned as his lips moved from mine to suck at my neck and his hands moved along my bare chest. ''You ok?'' he asked against my skin. ''yes. You?'' I asked, feeling a smile pull at his lips ''I cant tell you how amazing this feels.'' And I let out a shuddering breath as he gently pushed his hand past my belt. I hadn't even realized he had undone it. ''you too.'' I whispered as he slowly pushed my pants down and nodded at me. He leaned up as I unzipped him and he kicked them off before our lips met again and again and moans filled the room as we worked each other over. ''More.'' was all he seemed to say, the words shaky and needy. I twined my fingers through his hair as I began to lose my senses and he grabbed both of our members and pressed them together skin on skin before gently thrusting his hips against the space between my entrance and member. ''AH!'' I moaned pathetically, the sound echoing in the silent room. ''Your still good?'' he whispered and my heart nearly broke at the love in his voice, the fact that he was so fucking hard and desperate and yet.. ''Im good. Hurry.'' I whimpered as he began a painfully slow pace, his thrusts rubbing that space just right before gliding over my member was so fucking fantastic that I had to keep myself in reality by sucking on his neck and clawing my fingertips into his skin. Mine. Mine. Mine. Was the only thought in my head. The desire to mark him everywhere too intense to ignore or deny. I buried my face against his chest. ''So good. Your so damn good.'' He panted the words against the skin of my neck and then thrust our members together in shorter, quicker thrusts and I made a pathetic noise against his skin again. ''put your legs around my waist.'' He whispered, his tone so far gone I was surprised he had the ability to speak. I did as requested and wrapped my legs around his back, locking my ankles around him as he slid down just a little further between my legs and thrust us together again. The new position giving him more room to move us against each other. He could enter me so easily.. if only we were sure... ''More, Hibari, more.'' I begged as he kissed me so deeply I could hardly breathe and thrust his hips just right over and over again.

It was too much, too caring and gentle and yet powerfully intense and raw and felt so fucking good that I became nothing more than the person he was touching. His. All I wanted to be was the person he would always be touching, forever, always. Desperate need hit the back of my mind and the pit of my stomach and all I could do was call out a pathetic ''Please.'' As I tried to hold on to make this last. He pulled our faces apart and held my eyes with a look that would undo me-that would forever be embedded in my mind. Hibari Kyouya was crying, moving against me in pleasure and want and such fierce love that I could feel his hope and his desperation radiating off of him. ''Love you.'' He whispered as I ran my hands along his cheeks. ''Love.. ah!.. you. Hurry!'' I replied pathetically as he kissed me again and my hands played with his hair while he gripped my hips and with one last, powerful thrust we came together.

When we had come down from the pleasure he kissed me again and again as I wrapped myself around him and let him slowly explore me however he wanted. He ran his hands up and down my sides, pulled me into his arms as we laid on our sides. He was so soft and gentle in his touches that I shuddered into his kisses and he panted into my mouth. We kissed for the majority of the night, all hands and soft kisses and a burning want in my chest to be with him forever.
