A Final Escape

Chapter 24

'Three days. Three fucking none stop days! Of trying. Training. Pushing. Praying. And nothing!'

Mina took off her sandal and flicked it in the river!

"Argh! Fuck! Now I lost my fav slipper too!" she hissed, infuriated with her lack of impulse control.

Beyond incensed, she pulled off her other shoe about to hurl it into the water. A hand captured her wrist before she could manage. Yanking her hand away, she turned.

"Came to gloat?" she spat, infuriated by his poking presence.

"Why can't you tap into your full power?" Kunzite asked calmly.

"Wish I knew!" Mina snapped back, riled by his calm demeanor. "We've looked through every possibility! I've tried everything Artemis and Luna suggested! Tried unlocking it with Serena's help. Rei can't get any hint through her fire reading. Amy scanned me, but it's inconclusive! Lita's pushed me past my limits! I Don't Know! I don't know…"

Exasperated, she slumped to the ground, picked up pebbles and threw them in the water. Nothing had resulted in her true powers manifesting. They were a couple days away from a life and death situation, and she had hit a wall.

Kunzite stood next to her, arms crossed, her slipper hanging loosely from a finger long forgotten, as he considered all the possibilities. He was just as vexed by the situation. They couldn't afford this setback. The blame couldn't be put for lack of effort or will. Lines of exhaustion were painted across her body from her struggle. He'd provoked her into countless sparring matches to try to get her to snap like Amy. It didn't work.

"How did you get your full power back on Venus?"

"I got it the moment I was chosen as Aphrodite's Avatar. When I became a Senshi, I already had the power but needed some time to master and harness it properly." The fact that Mina was mumbling, fuming and sighing all at once amused Kunzite. She had gotten too many points over him in the past weeks. Thus, when her mask fell to display her immaturity, it gave him a twisted sense of satisfaction.

What had he expected? Venusian's emotional range knew no bounds, and were as unpredictable as the changing winds. Nobody could stay indifferent in their presence.

"Maybe it's because you're too angry?"

"Too angry… Too Angry!?" Mina jumped to her bare feet and poked a finger in his chest. "Well, maybe I'd be calm if you hadn't materialized a dozen replicas and then try to attack me before I even woke up! Maybe I'd be chill if you didn't use every excuse to poke at my inabilities in the last couple of days. Maybe if you knew how to act like a gentleman and show the same consideration I did you last week, maybe then I wouldn't be so angry!"

Taking a step closer, Kunzite scolded down at Mina, loosing his amusement.

"Who asked me to interfere when I said it wasn't a good idea? Who's been tripping me none stop since I came back, even after I called a truce? Who's been pushing every button imaginable to get answers they can't wait from Darien!?"

"I want You to explain, not Darien! I made the pact with You!" Mina pushed repeatedly her finger into his chest to emphasis each word, not backing down from his imposing height.

Leaning down, Kunzite grabbed the offending finger before he growled at her. "I did make a pack with you. But that doesn't mean I owe you any explanations." Releasing her hand violently, he went to move away from her but she wasn't done. Not by a long shot. Grabbing his arm, she turned him back to face her.

"Don't owe me explanations? Yea, right! You don't owe anybody anything! No man is an island and yet, you're Mister I'm an Island. Hear me Roar! Oh wait, that's right! You don't talk. Except to criticize! Wow. Real high and mighty, aren't you! General Kunzite is better, stronger, smarter than anyone. So, he doesn't need to explain himself. He doesn't need to answer to anyone. He doesn't even fucking need to interact. Because, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Stoic here doesn't feel anything!"

Kunzite grabbed her hand and brought it to his crotch, firmly placing it against his hard cock. "Don't feel anything?" he asked quietly, menacingly.

Oh, he felt plenty. Against his better judgment, he hadn't liked seeing her upset, down or disappointed. He certainly felt hurt by her low esteem of him. And he certainly had felt freaking turned on by her aggressiveness, provocation and proximity. Oh yea, he felt. And from the startled look on Mina's face, she could feel it just as much as he did.

Suddenly, her lips crashed on his, her hands pulling his short hair as she jumped up to straddle him. Kunzite tilted his head to get better access to her mouth as he devoured her. Her back hit a tree as he palmed her ass, grinding into her. When she bit his lip, he reared back, breathing fast.

"This is not a good idea," but he didn't stop pressing into her as she kept rubbing herself on him like a cat in heat.

"I'm done with good ideas." She kissed him again, turned on to the point her body hurt from need.

When she moaned louder, Kunzite pushed himself away, releasing her. Driving her mad. Mina stumbled, and let her weight hit the tree to stay upright on her unsteady legs. Forcing to slow his breathing, he crowded her. Cupping her cheeks, he forced her to focus on him.

"If it's a fuck you need, I'll give it to you. But I can't give you more."

Should she have been offended by the direct, derisive statement? Nah. It turned her on. She preferred him being crude and direct. Should she have felt threatened by his aggressiveness and domineering. Nope, again. Instead, it soaked her panties. Should she have not jumped the man when he was cursing her? Come one, seriously? The guy was fucking hot when he blew a fuse, when his impenetrable mask fell! There was so much a girl could resist before her inner vixen took over.

"Did I ask you for more? Did I ever hint at more? You forget who you're talking to?"

"You're not Milaina." To emphasize the difference, he palmed her pussy and placed his finger on her clit. Her response was instantaneous, but also flushed her cheeks. "You're still a virgin, right?"

"Nope."

That shocked him, stilled his movements. His brows creased in confusions. Her responses in their previous interactions had hinted at innocence.

"Oh don't look so disappointed Kunzite. You're still the first guy I'm with. I'm just not a virgin." When no response came and he just kept staring into her eyes, his finger creeping into her pussy, keeping her orgasm out of reach, she blushed profusely. "I might not have wanted any partners in this life time but a girl has needs. And sometimes, she has to take care of her needs herself…"

Kunzite felt himself get harder, if it was possible. The confines of his boxers painful. His imagination conjuring all the ways she could have taken her own virginity. Mina was a cocktail of vixen meets innocence, and now, with Melaina's memories, ideas and experiences, a forbidden fruit ripe for the taking.

But. "Why a partner now? Why me?" Before he buried himself deep in her, he needed them to be on the same page.

"The only priority in your head is your duty. Your mission. You won't let this influence you in the upcoming battle. As I'm not interested in any distractions, this works for me." When he waited for more, she admitted blushing. "Fine! You're the only guy who's turned me on."

Mina witnessed the unthinkable. One side of his lips lifted, then the other. The very satisfied masculine smile made Mina's jaw unhinge. Kunzite took advantage and dove in. He flicked his tongue with hers, caressing, tasting, coxing moans and responses from her as he lifted her in his arms again, pressing her right back to the tree.

Knowing that Mina lacked experience was a freaking aphrodisiac to his ego, he kissed her hungrily until she was panting. Then he moved to her cheek, chin, ear before tormenting her neck and collarbone while cupping her breast, switching between fondling it and pinching her tight nipple.

Mina writhed and moaned in his hold; her senses assaulted. Digging her nails into his scalp as she held on while she allowed her free hand to slide under his t-shirt to roam freely. The feel of his bunched muscles under her fingers as her hand skimmed his abs, sides and pecks was mouth watering. Its was ironic that it was her pussy watering instead of her mouth. Driven to impatience by his skilled hands, she pulled his shirt up, which he helped drag off with one arm as his other kept cupping and squeezing her ass.

She had been missing out. Milaina really should have tapped that a long time ago. Oh well, she'd get to feel all that gloriousness now. Mina let her mouth explore him as he explored her. And just as she thought she couldn't take anymore, his hand slid between them to press on her clit once again. She bit her lip to prevent the scream while cursing the obstruction of their clothes.

As Mina began to shake in his arms, Kunzite slowly eased her back to the ground. "Here or my cabin?"

"Bastard! You can't stop like that!"

"My cabin it is," he smirked, picking up his shirt then pulling her through the dark forest at a brisk pace, his cock desperate for relief. "And no, I'm no bastard. My dad was very proud of fathering his progeny."

"That's not what I meant. You can't stop when a gr… Ah fuck!" But Mina didn't finish the sentence as her back hit the door as it closed them in his small wood cabin. Kunzite turned the lock without breaking the kiss. Then he lifted her in his arms and carried her to his room while devouring her neck.

"Don't scream unless you want everyone to know we're fucking."

"Aren't you confident?" Mina teased as he tossed her on the bed. She bit her lip again as he dropped his shirt, took off his shoes, socks and pants in one fluid motion before prowling onto the bed. Damn he was a fine specimen, even with the scars and mutilation.

She might have felt self-conscious as he took off her tank top and shorts, but what was the point? He'd already seen her in a bikini. Not that he gave her time. Nope, he dove right back assaulting her neck as he eased her on her back. As she gripped his short hair, he slid lower until his mouth was covering her bra, kissing her nipple through the fabric.

"Last chance, Mina." He'd back off, no matter how desperate he was to come. They didn't need any drama between them. She needed to be certain this was what she wanted. A lay and that's it.

The answered was the snap of the front clasp of her bra. As the material fell away from her glorious, voluptuous bosom, his mouth watered. The mounds that had been barred to him a century ago were out, demanding his attention, ready for him to feast. And as he lowered his mouth to them, he flicked his tongue on the nipple then suckled the whole breast before switching to the other one. Listening to her moans, he played, savored every inch of her skin until she hissed his name.

Only then did he slide his hand down, explored her stomach, thighs, skimmed her juncture. He teased by running his hand toward her pussy but only grazing it. Never pressing to relieve the pressure building in there. At which point she began to curse him, digging her nails into his back while writhing next to him.

Feeling ready to explode, Mina reached between them to grab his cock through the boxer. She was to far gone to be shy or think clearly, she let her body do as it pleased. And right now, it wanted to give him right back what he was doing to her. She reached into his boxers, pulled him out. Remembering from her past life experiences, she rubbed her hand over the precum, lubing her hand before firmly grasping him at his base. Then she slowly worked her hand, switching between exploring, pumping and playfully trailing her fingers down his length. Making sure to give him time to get comfortable with her touch before allowing her hand to venture and play with his mutilated balls.

Kunzite felt torn between letting himself enjoy her administrations and making her come. But he couldn't let her have the upper hand. It was the foundation of their interactions, after all. Yanking her panties down her legs, he finally let his fingers slid through her folds. Cupping her, he picked up her juices to coat his fingers, then he brought them on her clit, massaging slowly the bud. As her breath caught, he smirked, only to catch his own breath as both her hands grasped him. Knowing he wouldn't last long, it had been a century since his last rodeo, he slid his finger in her pussy. Slowly, he moved his finger in and out, stretching, curving, exploring her reactions. Pulling back from her grasp so she could only pump him with one hand, he eased a second finger in while circling his thumb on her clit before rising to capture her mouth as her moans became too loud.

"Kunzite, I can't hold much longer."

"I know. But what do you use now?"

His question didn't filter through her haze of lust. As his movements stalled, she tried to focus on Kunzite. It was hard when she was right on the bring of an orgasm and with his fingers still in her, that starving gaze and clenched jaw oozing sex appeal. Almost enough to throw her over. His cock was straining, pulsing in her grasp.

"What do you use?" he insisted, his voice strained.

Lights and realization flickered through. Shit. She didn't think to bring a condom. But this might be her only chance before she di… Nope, she wasn't going to think about the risks of battle now. "I'm clean. Amy said you're okay too, right?"

"Yes, but I don't want to come in you if…"

Knowing that they had no other choice but to open the taboo subject, she pressed. "Darien confirmed you're sterile?"

His jaw clenched, and he made to pull away but she wrapped her legs around him while tightening her grasp on his cock. His pulling away a reminder he felt like half a man due to Beryl's mutilation.

"Then we don't need anything." Without hesitation, she pulled him to her entrance, using his tip to massage her clit, until she was moaning and his resolve returned. Pushing her hand out of the way, he eased his head in. Shit, she was tight. What he wouldn't have given to have taken her virginity. But he wasn't going to regret things when just her entrance squeezed him this good.

She was panting, moaning, digging her nails into his back, heals into his ass as he slowly sank all the way in. Taking a moment to just enjoy the feel of her, he stayed still once he bottomed out. She pushed his boxers down to feel more of him as he started to slide in and out of her. He moved slow, allowing her to adjust to him. He teased her neck with his mouth, grazed it with his teeth, interchanging with fondling her breast and pinching or flicking his tongue on her nipples until all she could do was cling to him, meeting his movements.

His resolve to tease her snapped when she bit her forearm to prevent herself from screaming. Rising to his knees, he lifted her pelvis keeping her legs wrapped around him and began to pound into her. Her first time should have been gentler but he didn't have it in him to restrain his desperate need. Not when her reactions tightened his scarred balls. The way her head writhed from side to sides, her jaw clenched on her arm to the point of almost breaking skin, her body stiffened with the need to come, her pussy clamped around him like a vice grip.

Just as she started to come, he stuck his thumb in her mouth while the rest of his hand covered her mouth to muffled her scream, as he pumped hard once, twice before letting loose. With her trembling body and contracting pussy around his cock, he could no longer hold it. The pleasure of his own release so intense he crumpled on top of her. Her pussy quivered around him while her body shook from the aftershocks of the intense orgasm.

Several minutes later, Mina wrapped her arms around him. "Vibrators are never going to do it now…" Mina sighed dejectedly.

"Vibrators?" he asked, his voice muffled, as his mouth was busy teasing her pulse.

"Toys shaped as penises women use to satisfy themselves nowadays."

That got him to lift his upper body. "Seriously?" His perplexed look and inquiring lifted brow had her in giggles.

"How did you think I took my virginity?" She hadn't considered her question would make him go semi-hard inside her and stretch her deliciously.

"Tell me," Kunzite demanded.

Well, that got her nice and flush and bright as a ripe tomato. When she tried to squirm from under him, he seized her arms and pinned them over her head.

"This brings back memories," Mina teased. But he could tell she was stalling, trying to change the subject.

"Tell me, now," he ordered while burying himself deeper in her pussy.

"I don't think so."

"You're going to tell me."

"Scuse me!?" she scoffed, bristling at his tone and command. Who did the idiot take himself for? Sure, he was good in bed, but a girl had rights to her secrets.

"You heard me."

"The hell I will."

The evil, calculating smirk on his face suddenly reminded her of Zoisite's before he started some form of mischief. That's where the kid got it from.

"Oh you will, sweetheart. You'll be begging to tell me." And with that threat, he started playing her body, teasing it, bringing her again, and again, and again to the brink of orgasm. At which point she was shaking and shivering, her body tingling, excited, she didn't think she could take it anymore.

"You bastard! I'll finish myself off if you're that put out with doing it."

"I thought we cleared up the fact that I wasn't a bastard. My father married my mother and screwed her several times during wedlock. My siblings and myself the result. And you're not coming until you don't tell me the story!"

"I'll tell you about losing my virginity if you talk to me about the castration." Her words came on pants, her eye boring into his, refusing to give in.

Only Melaina would find an upper hand in any given situation and Mina seemed to have a knack for it as well. That was the only reason he pulled back, a cold sweat forming on his back that had nothing to do with their bodies cooling down after their extracurricular activities and everything to do with the rush of unwanted memories.

"See, we have things we rather not share with others. Because they're embarrassing, painful or personal. And as we agreed this is just us enjoying the moment with no strings, it's better to leave talking and sharing out of it."

He was freaking out; Mina could tell even though Kunzite stayed true to his stoic expression. But after the nonstop proximity, she could see his tells. The small lines by his eye, the slight clenching of his jaw, the rigid way he held himself. Every movement controlled to quasi perfection.

But he was still human... Or Terran... Whatever! The point was he didn't need the reminder... And it had been low of her to bring it up! The teasing and intensity of his stare had freaked her out.

"Sorry... I shouldn't have brought that up."

Kunzite fell back on the bed and scrubbed his face several times before clearing his throat.

"I shouldn't have pushed. Actually. Thank you. I wasn't sure what sex would be like after..." Staring at the wooden cabin's ceiling, his voice carried lower than usual. "I wasn't sure what I'd be able to do. Let alone come. But with you pushing my buttons and your who gives a shit attitude," he shrugged the rest of his thoughts.

Mina smirked. Actually, she smiled down at him after she draped herself over him when he didn't finish his sentence. Not just any smile. One that brighten the room, even if they were shrouded in darkness. A smile he could get used to. Enjoy being the recipient and cause of. But he pushed that thought down as that dazzling smile turned mischievous. Without warning she stalked down his body.

"But it seems I haven't pushed enough buttons because here you are, for the first time, articulate, when I can think of a hundred better things to do with that mouth." The last words spoken right over his hardening dick, her hot breath blowing on it bringing it to attention. "I see the rumors were true. You do have great recovery time."

Before the little minx could take him in her mouth, Kunzite flipped them and sunk into her, forcing her breath to catch.

"I'll be sure to do those hundred things later. But now I need you to come for me."

Whoever was banging on her door better have a good excuse because she was seriously having homicidal thoughts. How dare they interrupt her erotic dreams and post orgasmic bliss?

Forcing an eye lid open, she could tell by the brightness in the room that it was probably close to lunch time.

'The fuck?'

She sat up, confused. When did she make it back to her room? The last thing Mina could remember was passing out after who knows how many different kinds of incredible orgasms... At the break of dawn. Kunzite must have carried her to her cabin before any of the other woke. And cleaned her up. And clothed her. If putting on his t-shirt could be called that.

But no one could see his shirt, or she'd never hear the end of it! Rummaging fast through her roll away suitcase, she threw on a yellow summer dress before unlocking her door.

Lita stood with her fist poised just as the door swung open.

"Well good morning to you too roomy," Mina answered, a thick layer of annoyance coating her tone.

"Well, I guess giving you space last night didn't improve your grumpy mug. Oh, and it's good afternoon. Now move it before there's no lunch left for you Sunshine," Lita quipped with as much sarcasm as she could muster for a beautiful sunny day.

Mina settled on the picnic table and started to fill her plate. Ok. Maybe fill was too light a word. Piled would have been a better description but who cared, when a familiar smell filled her nostrils. A scent she had gotten very, very intimate with over the past several hours as Kunzite settled in the spot opposite hers.

"Glad to see you've finally deemed us worthy of your presence."

"Yea! I was seriously worried when I didn't see you come back last night. Almost went looking for you but Artemis and Darien told me you needed space... But that's such a guy response to stress. Girls need bff time with chocolate, ice cream and sugar-coated delights!" Serena puffed out annoyed that she hadn't been allowed to check on her friend.

"You didn't need to Bunny as Kunzite texted me. He saw her slam her cabin door. Isn't that a sign for, you know, bugger off, give me scape?" Darien almost cooed to calm Serena down, trying to enjoy the quiet moment before the storm.

"I guess..." mumbled Serena, not completely convinced.

"I hadn't realized that Kunzite had been appointed as my sentry," quipped Mina, curious as to when he had time to text anyone once they had gotten their hands on each other.

"I thought it be best that everyone give you space. You looked beyond undone, soaked, flushed as you came to your cabin barefoot."

'Oh he didn't!,' she choked internally. He was eating his lunch calmly while describing her coming last night. The nerve of the man!

"And then I heard you screaming, cursing and sobbing... You definitely needed the space. Especially after such a small thing as loosing a pair of shoes..." The tiniest lift of his lip told her he knew exactly what he was doing.

But sobb... Sobbing! She didn't fucking sob!

And just like that her full powers unleashed, a dozen chains whipping from her sitting form, wrapping tightly around the man's forearms and throat only to yank him forward until his face was introduced to his meal. Intimately.

Without a backward glance at the stunned fuming man, Mina took her plate and left to soak up the sun on a lounger while enjoying the remainder of her meal.

Artemis sighed, shaking his furry head. "Only a Venusian could unleash their full power over the loss of a pair of shoes where everything else failed..."

Kunzite wiped his face of food, for once not infuriated with her actions. After all, he was a smug bastard who knew exactly why Mina had her powers back.

First of, I really wanted to finish the story before I moved because I knew I'd be busy beyond compare for the next couple of weeks, um, months... So please be patient with me. I will finish this story, that's a promise.

Second of, Arocox, thank you for leaving me that awesome review! I'm so glad I could understand your comment thanks to Google translate. 😉 And I have no problem with you using my engagement earrings idea, as long as you refer me as the source. I'll also read your stories once things settle down a bit. Please let me know the name of your story you'll be using the earrings in; I'm looking forward to seeing how you use the idea. On a side note, to clarify this one more time. Kunzite was tortured and mutilated by Beryl that left him sterile but not fully castrated or amputated.

Third of, Smoon4409 thank you for telling me that the story leaves you on the edge of your seat. That is truly something that has thrilled me as it means I'm doing something right with my writing!

Lastly, dear readers, I'll ask only once, because I need help to gage if my writing is coming out clearly. What do you like in the story, what wasn't clear, what could have been done better? Any constructive criticism is welcome. Please help this writer out by dishing out your thoughts. And no, I'm not asking to gain comments. I'm asking because the only criticism I'm getting is from my teenage daughter who's not reading the sex scenes. So please please please, help a girl with writers block out as the next chapters will be the pinnacle of the story.
