He didn't even feign surprise that he wasn't lucky enough to make it across campus with her without any of the other guys seeing them together. It was just his terrible luck that, of any of them he ran into, it was Louis.
Kohana smiled up at him as he walked over to them. "Where are you taking my little flower?"
Teika sighed and stared daggers at the interloper. It was Kohana who said, "he's taking me to dinner now that our families are allies. The fighting is over between us."
Louis pursed his lips and raised an eyebrow at Teika. "Isn't subversion beneath you?"
Teika scoffed, "No, why?" He was darkly amused as he watched it dawn on Louis that he won this one. He had a date with her and that he would use any method to achieve his goal.
"You win this round," Louis said, reluctantly impressed. "Don't think that means you win in the end."
Kohana looked at the men in confusion, trying to figure out what they were talking about. Louis took her hand and kissed it, locking eyes with her the whole time she grew flustered. "I get the next date," he said.
"D-date?" She replied wide-eyed and shocked. Teika wanted to thump him on the head. As it was, Louis turned and waved as he walked away.
She turned and looked up at Teika. "Date?" He sighed; he had hoped she would let that go.
"Kohana, when I sing you see my sparkle, but you also see me. You're the first that has seen the man. Then I look at you and your sparkle is magnificent, but it's the light in your eyes that I'm drawn to. Your talent is incredible, but who you are on the inside outshines everything."
"Wh-what?"
He caressed her cheek. "Please say you'll go on this date with me."
She blushed prettily but still locked eyes with him. He saw her determination simmering under the surface. The fierce determination he saw in her for the first time when she said she'd get Aoi to come to the committee meeting. She looked so sweet and placid, but there was a steel to her that he found exciting. "Yes."
She was taking a selfie next to the Porsche, and he mentally tipped his hat to his brother. He was right; she looked stunning next to the sports car. He could also picture the awe and praise rolling in for her picture.
He opened the door for her, and as he held it, he locked eyes with her. She blushed again and lowered her eyes. "You have a cool sports car." He pulled up Instagram and hearted her picture.
When they arrived at the place his brother had arranged for him, he instantly hated his family again. They both blushed to the roots of their hair. "I didn't know where they reserved…." He said trailing off. They were standing in the penthouse hotel sweet with a romantic table for two set up. A waiter in a tux was looking at them expectantly and soft music was playing in the background.
She looked up at him tentatively and smiled. "It's amazing."
And when he really looked, it was. They had an incredible view of the city at night and the table was near the floor to ceiling windows. He just worried about the other "preparations" his brothers had made.
He struggled because he knew what his brothers wanted for him and he wanted that too. He looked over at Kohana, and the desire he had felt stirring before was whipped up to a raging inferno.
"This is okay?" he asked.
"Why wouldn't it be?" she asked, confused, and he wanted to groan. He didn't say because there was a bed in the next room with what he was sure was a drawer stuffed full of condoms, and who the hell knew what…
"Kohana, you're innocent, but even you must realize…" he trailed off. He didn't want to frighten her.
She looked at him, blushing, and said, "I… I'm not entirely naive. Still…" she looked down at her feet. "I'm ha-happy to be here… With you."
He couldn't help himself. He sang. He sang a song of love and longing that filled the room with rose sparkles. He watched them shower her in roses, and her eyes shined just looking at them.
When it was over, Teika grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. He sighed in contentment and kissed her lips. They felt so pliable and warm. They stirred his heart, and when he knew he couldn't take any more, she opened her mouth, and he plunged his tongue into her. He was lost. Every nerve ending in his body felt like it was on fire and in ecstasy simultaneously.
He found his hand grasping her pert butt, and he blushed and was about to apologize. Then he saw the deep desire in her eyes, and his words died before they made it to his lips.
He realized the deep blush on her face was deceptive. She was honest in her embarrassment but not timid like her looks implied. She had the same steel in her that she shocked him with.
He felt her rock her body against his, and he blushed. He realized she could physically feel the tangible proof of his desire. Her moan of pleasure shocked him and thrilled him to the core.
He watched the man waiting to wait on them now, remove the covers to their food and then leave the hotel room. The man was obviously trying to be discreet, and he wondered what was coming.
