Two years had passed since Tea's accident and the only movement anyone had ever received from her was a minor muscle twitch. After watching over her lifeless body for so long, Kaiba had believed he'd never see her move again. Everything they had been through on this frantic virtual world journey had left Kaiba with little time to truly take her in. Her beauty, her passion, her raw emotion. Kaiba was finally feeling her fire, the movement he had wished to witness for over six months. Her movements were as rough as ocean waves as she ground against his body with amplified urgency. Her touch sent a raging fire over his skin and he wanted more, demanded more.
Their kiss ignited a flame underneath them that neither one could extinguish. A burning desire that was lit the moment their journey began. There was no stopping now, no turning back.
Tea forced her tongue into his mouth, invading his privacy in a way no one had ever done before. Kaiba found it to be invigorating and exposing. No one had ever cared for him like this, not with the same devotion and desire Tea had.
He fought back, forcing his way into her mouth and wrestling with her tongue. Tea responded with another rough grind against his pelvis. He involuntarily moaned at the pressure, quickly wrapping one hand around her lower back, holding her body to his so he could feel the pressure. His moaning increased as well as hers. The pressure between them grew stronger as their hips ground against each other in a flurry of desperation.
"Ahhh," Tea moaned, breaking their kiss and tilting her head back.
Their grinding became harder and more ferocious. Kaiba grunted as he worked into her, but their proximity wasn't enough for him, and dry humping just wasn't going to cut it. They needed to go further, to cross the line.
He buried his face into her neck, letting his lips leave a trail of kisses down to her collarbone. Kaiba breathed deeply into her neck, suddenly noticing one small detail that concerned him. He couldn't smell her.
Kissing her neck with even more vigor, he took in another hint of her skin. Nothing. But how was that possible? Everyone had a scent to their skin. Even he knew the natural scent of his own skin. Had he not been able to smell this entire time? Did he forget to program smell into the virtual world? Impossible. Surely, he did. Maybe? Would this mean he wouldn't be able to feel Tea when they—?
He shook the thought from his head, backing away from Tea for an instant. She locked eyes with him and he noted that her sultry gaze had returned. She needed him. He needed her. There was no denying it. He was going to have to try. It was all or nothing.
Taking her lips once again, this time with more yearning and power. They're kissing was rough as they proceeded to grind up against each other. Kaiba felt his balance faltering from their aggression and he took a few steps forward, pushing Tea up against the nearby wall. She groaned at the impact, but didn't seem too phased by the action. Now Kaiba had more composure to rock his hips against hers. She responded generously, keeping the pace and momentum going. With one hand tangled in her hair, and the other one free, he decided to test the waters. Maybe they could feel these sensations after all? Maybe the smell function just malfunctioned and Kaiba would need to go back later and fix it.
He dipped his free hand below the skirt, flimsily hiking it up so he could get a better angle. Finding the edge of her underwear, he delicately pulled them down, letting them fall to her ankles. Now she was wide-open to him, and he couldn't help but lavish in the thought of it. Not only would he find out if she would feel these sensations in the virtual world, but he was about to have an advantage over Yugi. Nothing felt sweeter.
Nothing except her.
Slowly, he found her sweet spot and began rubbing in gentle, circular motions. The moans that left Tea's lips were incredible, and Kaiba knew he'd succeeded. Smirking seductively, Kaiba lowered a finger toward her opening. He gently inserted one finger, testing the waters. She was tight, and Kaiba needed to gauge her comfort level. Starting off at a slow pace, he moved his finger in and out, trying to read the look on her face.
"Mmmm, fast... faster…" She moaned, her head tilted back and her eyes closed.
Seeing Tea enjoying herself reassured Kaiba, and he began to move faster, eventually inserting another finger. Tea whimpered, but her hips kept gyrating on his hand, begging him for more. That's when Kaiba knew his foreplay wasn't enough.
Withdrawing his finger, he reached behind her to grab her derrière, pressing her higher up against the wall. Instinctively, she swung her legs behind him wrapping them around his waist. She swiftly dipped her hands between them to undo his Fendi belt, letting his gray trousers fall to the floor. Kaiba was shocked by her skill to take off his clothes that he wondered if she had ever done something like this before. He snorted at the thought.
"What's so funny?" Tea asked in a breathless whisper.
"Your skill in taking off my pants so quickly. Do you make a habit out of undressing people, Gardner?"
"Oh, look who's talking Mr. I'll just take off her panties in three seconds flat with one hand."
He chuckled, "From what I felt, you were glad I did."
She didn't deny that. Instead she smirked and made a rapid grab for the rim of his boxers, yanking them down to his ankles, giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Kaiba grinned playfully, pleased with the earnestness she had for him. He stepped out of his boxers and pants, kicking them across the floor. When he looked back up, he noticed her eyes were lowered toward his exposed member. A flush of embarrassment passed through him. He'd never been bare like this to anyone before. Kaiba felt vulnerable until he detected Tea's thumb caressing the side of his face. She was beaming at him, her gorgeous blue eyes shining with a look of sincerity that he'd never gotten from anyone else before. Suddenly, he felt safe, no longer vulnerable or ashamed.
"Tea, one last time, are you sure this is what you want? You know I won't be able to give you up."
She smiled, "I know, Seto…" She had used his first name and it took him by surprise. He liked it. He smiled back at her and kissed her one last time before creating a bond he knew he'd live with for the rest of his life.
They cried out into the virtual abyss together as Kaiba pushed himself fully inside of her. He stopped to cup Tea's cheek with his free hand, noticing the pain in her eyes. "I'm sorry." He mocked the caressing she had done to his face just moments before.
Letting go of a rigid breath she replied, "It's fine. I just didn't think it'd hurt this much since we're in the virtual world."
He felt terrible. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. He didn't want to stop either, but for Tea's sake, he offered her the option, "would you like me to stop?"
She shook her head, "I can get used to it. Don't worry. Just give me a moment." Her breathing was still a little rigid.
"Take all the time you need. Let me know when you're ready."
She smiled through her pain, "You're sweet, you know that?"
Kaiba didn't know what to say. Was Tea complimenting him? He couldn't tell. Instead, he placed a row of kisses across her collarbone in response and as a way of calming her down. Eventually, the tightness that engulfed him seemed to subside as Tea relaxed her muscles.
"Okay, I think I'm ready."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Kaiba gave her one last assuring glance before he began to slowly move within her. She shut her eyes tightly, whimpering at first, but she soon rebounded and started gliding her hips into his at an awfully slow pace. The feeling was tantalizing and Kaiba couldn't help but begin to move faster. Tea's body continuously hit the wall with every needy thrust from Kaiba. Their lovemaking created a knocking sound that grew louder as he pounded into her, harder and deeper than before.
Tea moaned, her chest heaving up and down, face flushed and eyes glazed over. Kaiba could tell she was trying to hide her screams and encouraged her to let go as he sped up the pace. His breathing began to grow heavy and he started panting. He could feel his erection throbbing against her damp walls as they prepared to clamp down around him. Tea was close.
"AH!" It was a combination of a screech and a cry of pleasure. "Seto— I'm about-" Her words were choppy, mimicking her sharp inhales and exhales.
His movements became frenzied, desperate to make her come. He was getting close to, and he knew once she came, there was no way he'd be able to resist. He grasped her wrists as he lifted her hands above her head and pounded into her senselessly. They groaned and grunted in unison like a glorious harmony.
Tea sharply arched her back as her legs began to quiver around Kaiba's waist. The moment her legs tightened around him, her wet walls followed, clamping down around his throbbing member. Tea let out a loud shriek, eventually trapping her voice deep within her throat as she began to spasm uncontrollably.
Kaiba couldn't take much more and he thrust into her harder as she quivered around him. After a few final thrusts, a guttural moan left the depths of his throat has he let go inside her, locked within her pulsating walls. He came for longer than he expected, embracing the ripples of pleasure that surged through him and into her body.
She purred, coming down from her high. She smiled at him, taking in the look of contorted ecstasy upon his face.
"I can feel your pleasure. It's so warm."
He knew what she meant. He smirked at her before letting go of the breath he had been holding in.
Neither one of them spoke. Sweet silence encased them. Kaiba was too out of breath to speak, and Tea was now the one trapped, pinned up against the wall with Kaiba still inside of her. She took advantage of the serene moment and lightly kissed his cheek.
Out of all of the delightful things that Tea had done, this took the cake. Kaiba smiled like a love-struck school boy, he couldn't believe that after everything, she treated him so wonderfully like this. The gesture was sweet and meaningful that he just couldn't help but embrace the joy.
"Kaiba, I can't believe we…."
"I know…."
He kissed her deeply before pulling himself out of her and gently setting her feet to the floor. Feeling a flush of embarrassment at being half naked in front of Tea, Kaiba swiftly reached for their discarded clothes that he had swept across the floor earlier. He mentally cursed himself for being so eager before. Now, all he felt was the shame and defenselessness of being naked in front of Tea's watchful eyes.
He glanced at her. Her cheeks were flushed pink and she was trying to fix the skirt, flattening it out over her body. She too looked slightly embarrassed. But what would she need to feel ashamed about? She had probably done this kind of thing befo—
"I'm sorry, I've never done something like this before." She blushed, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She let out an awkward chuckle in an attempt to ease the humiliation that had engulfed the room.
Kaiba quickly handed her the pair of underwear he had pulled off of her and turned around to change. She had done the same.
Kaiba didn't turn around after he had finished getting dressed. He just stared at the wall before him, wondering why Tea would admit something like that. When she said she hadn't done something like that before, did she mean in the virtual world or the real world? Kaiba had to know.
"So, I assume you and Yugi never….?" He said to the wall.
He heard her turn around and giggle at him, "Kaiba, you can turn around, I'm decent."
He listened, but was waiting for more.
"And no… Yugi and I never had sex. To be honest, I've never had sex before. I definitely didn't think it would be in a virtual world and with someone like—" She stopped herself.
He narrowed his eyes at her. "With someone like me?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean? You had to be implying something."
"I-I just didn't think I'd have sex with you."
He scowled at her, "You say it like it's a bad thing."
"No!" Her blush became a deeper shade of pink. "What I mean is, you're Seto Kaiba, the most difficult person I've ever had the opportunity of figuring out. I mean that in a good way."
"How is that in a good way?" Crossing his arms and glaring at her, he began to feel like someone had shoved a rock down his throat. Never in his life had he felt so picked apart like this, but Tea Gardner had managed to pick him apart time and time again.
"You just didn't turn out to be the person I thought you were, Kaiba. You're caring, and you're actually extremely sweet. Never did I think that you, out of all people, would be this way. Especially not toward me."
He continued to give her an icy glare.
She sighed, "Kaiba, I didn't mean it to sound bad. It just ended up coming off that way on accident. You see, you're the type of person that puts on this front and—"
"Well, did it ever occur to you that I put on this front for a reason? Maybe it's to protect myself from people like you." Kaiba could visibly see that she was taken aback by his comment.
"From people like me? What did I do to you?"
"Knowing you, you'll probably run back to Yugi once we get out of this mess and just regard me as a piece you've managed to conquer in your little game."
"Conquer? Game?" Now she was the one that glared at him, "Kaiba, I don't use people as personal conquests in any sort of game! I had sex with you because I thought you actually cared about me. I'm not going to lie, I thought you'd be the one to actually regard me as one of your conquests, not the other way around!"
"You think I make a habit out of sleeping with people? Is that it?"
"I don't know, Kaiba? I don't know your sex life."
"Well, I don't," he scowled.
"Well, thanks for that information after the fact." She used a level of sarcasm that could've easily matched his. "I just don't see what this is all about? I'm just surprised that after everything we've been through I would end up having sex—"
"—with someone like me. Yeah, you've told me."
"That's not what I was going to say."
He scoffed at her, "Oh really? Then please, Gardner, enlighten me."
Surprisingly, the look on her face changed from anger to sincerity, and she began to inch forward, reaching for him. She took his scowling face in her hands. He didn't know why he let her. She had blatantly insulted him. But could he blame her? His life wasn't the epitome of perfection, and after all of the terrible things he had done to her and her friends, he was astounded she didn't hold more contempt for him.
"Seto," she looked at him deeply, "I'm not disappointed that I had sex with you, I'm delighted. What we did back there, the passion and care you showed me, has made me incredibly happy, and I wouldn't have wanted to give up my virginity to anyone else."
The knot in his chest had begun to vanish. He didn't need confirmation; he knew that she meant what she said. Her honesty made his anger evaporate, and he gave her a slight smile, watching her return the favor.
"I overreacted again. I apologize."
She laughed, "It's okay."
He leaned in, capturing her lips. He kissed her with the kind of care she had mentioned him possessing. It felt amazing to know that after every outburst, she continuously forgave him. Truly, nothing was better than her.
Once they broke apart, Kaiba decided to confess, "if it makes you feel any better, you were my first. Granted, we're in the virtual world but…"
"It still counts," she gave him a wink, "and I don't want this one time to be our last. Not here, and not in the real world either."
Brushing away a lock of hair, he took in the blue hues of her eyes, knowing he'd never be able to see anything more beautiful in his entire life.
Yugi Muto stared at the Kaiba Corp. computer screen so long that Mokuba thought he'd lost his ability to blink. Mokuba had called Yugi, Tristen, and Joey over to the virtual reality laboratory to observe the brainwave activity being transposed onto the monitor. Both Kaiba and Tea were displaying strong brain activity that ensured promise that they were both okay. Not only had this reinforced Mokuba's sanity, knowing that his brother's mind hadn't been lost forever, but he knew it would help Yugi and the other's to know that Tea's brain was functioning. In fact, it had been functioning more than it ever had since she was first placed into the virtual world.
"Guys, this brain activity tells us that Seto's found her. They're clearly interacting with each other. I know my brother will bring her home."
"How long has it been since Kaiba uploaded his mind to the virtual world, Mokuba?" Tristen asked. There was a faint hint of concern in his voice.
Mokuba glanced down at his brother's body in the virtual reality pod. Kaiba's brown locks had grown past his face, his cheeks were slightly sunken in, and the color had been zapped from his skin. Mokuba swallowed hard as he took note of the feeding tube that trailed along his brother's veins, keeping his body alive… for now….
"Six months."
"Tea's been in there for over a year..." Joey stated. "How long can someone survive in the virtual world for?"
"Typically a year. Longer than that and the risk of complications outweighs the chance of a full recovery."
"So, you mean to tell me your bastard brother uploaded his mind to get bring Tea out of there, and the only progress he'd made is heightened brain activity!?" Joey was growing frustrated, as they all were.
"Joey, it's not that simple."
"It's been a year since she's been in there Mokuba! We've gotta get her out! Now!"
Tristen stepped in, speaking to Mokuba in a calmer voice, "Joey's right, Mokuba. If we don't get them out sooner rather than later, they might be stuck in there forever."
Joey piped back in, "and I know you don't want to lose your brother. There's gotta be another method you and your Kaiba Corp. goons haven't tried yet!"
Mokuba exhaled, switching his gaze toward Yugi. Seeing the desperation and sadness on Yugi's face quickly made Mokuba understand. They both wanted a loved one to come home. No matter what the risk, they would take it. Mokuba knew what he needed to do. Turning to the group of Kaiba Corp. employees nearby, the younger Kaiba quickly instructed them on their next course of action.
"Initiate protocol three."
They looked at him with pure shock. One employee almost spat out the coffee he was drinking.
"B-but sir, that could-"
"I know what it could do. Now do it. It's our only option left. Tea's running out of time." Mokuba took one last look at his brother in the pod and mumbled, "they're both running out of time…"
"Mokuba?" All heads turned to the owner of the voice. Yugi had spoken. It had been awhile. "What is protocol three?"
Mokuba let out a heavy sigh, wanting to escape the question, but he had to answer to Yugi. Out of all people, he deserved to know.
"Flooding the system."
Tristen hesitated, "You mean, like programming a flood into the virtual reality? Won't they just seek another environment to travel to?" Tristen asked, recalling his time in Noah Kaiba's virtual world.
Mokuba shook his head. "It means we're forcing them out." He swallowed nervously, "They either find an escape, or they lose their minds trying."
AN: If I could use the monkey emoji that's coving his eyes right here, I totally would. Confession time! This was the first smut scene I've ever written. I apologize for my virginess haha! I hope you enjoyed it. As you can tell, Kaiba and Tea's journey is far from over. Please let me know how I'm doing. I appreciate all of the support so far. You guys are wonderful, thank you!
