Chapter Three, Hidden Attractions, Forbidden Love

The sun slowly lingered above the now dark blue ocean as the remainder of the gang, now calm and talking normally to each other. Kaiba was talking to Marik as Serenity joined in, he tried not to look at her too much nor to grab her attention, the topic: Battle City.

She smiled as she walked over to them, waving and sitting down across from Kaiba. A smile lingered on his lips slowly being swallowed by sadness.

'She is so pretty…' he told himself 'but she hates me…..'

'Kaiba? Kaiba?' Marik said poking Kaiba in the chest, causing him to snap out of his little private chat.

'Ow!' Watch where you are pointing that thing!' Kaiba exclaimed, as Serenity stifled a giggle.

'I'm going to bed, see you two later' Marik said, leaving abruptly.

''So, Seto, how did you become such a great duelist?' Serenity asked him, moving closer to him. His cheeks inflamed as he tried to calm down and control himself.

'My dead father bought me a pack of cards and ever since I started playing, and I taught Mokuba'

'That's sweet teaching your little brother, by the way-where is Mokuba? I haven't seen him since I got here'

'He's away in Paris, he is visiting a old friend' Kaiba said, turning away from her and looking out towards the ocean. Serenity noticed this and said:

'Beautiful night'

'Yes, too bad we have to spend it alone'

'But we don't have to'

'What do you mean?' Kaiba said, taken aback.

Serenity got up from across the table and sat down next to him.

Kaiba felt his face growing hot as he looked out towards the now disappearing sun.

'I mean everyone's gone to bed…but we're not alone…we've got each other…'

Serenity said looking at him, Kaiba mustering up the spirit to look her in the face..

~~

'He is so sincere..how could have I misjudged him….' Serenity thought as she gazed into Kaiba's turquoise blue eyes…his hair ruffled in the breeze…it sent shivers up her spine…

'how could I have been so wrong….'

~~

'I can't stop…but she'll leave if I kiss her….'Kaiba told himself, looking into her eyes…

'uncharted depths of a pure soul…skin soft to the touch..hair to the waist…pure body..pure soul…pure heart' his conscious whispered inside his head..

~~

Serenity brought her cold fingers to his face, she could see him hesitating

'its okay, I want you to'

Kaiba blinked in agreement, moving closer, being closer to her than he had ever been with anyone in his life.

Kaiba put his fingers to her face as both looked into each others eyes…the full moon reflected in their eyes…the attraction was irresistible…

Kaiba claimed her lips as never before, she didn't resist..

'she is so sweet…I love her'

Serenity kissed back, letting Kaiba circled his tongue tasting her..exploring her…

Kaiba moved his hands to her hips, she moved hers to his neck..continuing to kiss…

The broke momentarily, grasping for breath, and then to kiss once more…Kaiba broke first but kissed her neck, as Serenity kissed his…

~~

A hidden figure watched as two figures kissed on the patio and he had a vague idea of who they were…bitterness was raging through him..he loved her so much..but Kaiba has her heart…what is he going to do…Something immediate and rash….

~~

A uncharted wind blew as Serenity and Kaiba kissed passionately under the stars…was it love or was it lust…? Will Serenity regret her actions? Who knows their secret?
