"Where are we going?" Kira asked the boy next to her.
"If I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise," the boy replied then smiled sweetly at the girl. Kira smiled back then continued to gaze at the dark night sky.
She couldn't help but dread the time she had left with Toshiro. Although she had just met him, there was so much chemistry between them it was amazing. Kira smiled secretly to herself while she remembered all the fun memories she already had with him. The sky was soon replaced by oak trees so tall she could barely see the night sky. They drove in comfortable silence up the empty road, the night their only companion. Soon the trees began to thin and the sky was opening up before them. Toshiro pulled off the main road onto a dirt driveway and continued for another mile. Kira jolted in her seat when she realized the truck had stopped.
"Are we here?" she asked curiously observing her new surroundings. Toshiro jumped out of the truck then helped Kira down from her seat.
"Almost, we have a little walking to do," he replied. Kira hugged her thick jacket closer as the cold night air began to bite at her skin. Toshiro grabbed a couple blankets from the truck bed then led Kira up a small grass hill away from the trees. As the rounded the top of the hill, the breath stopped in her throat. In all her years, she couldn't recall a more beautiful place than what she was seeing now. The stood on a tall ridge out looking the crystal blue sea. The bright moon was full and the stars were out in abundance. Near the shore down below, Kira noticed glowing orange blobs moving with the current.
"This only occurs a couple times a year when the full moon is out. The fish come into shore to mate with one another and lay their eggs," Toshrio explained softly. Kira drowned to the sound of his voice. It was deep, yet caring and she couldn't get enough of it. His larger hand held her petite one firmly as if afraid to let go. Together they looked out into the sea and the sky as they melted together in the horizon. Toshiro smiled as Kira before spreading the blankets on the ground then pulled her down into his arms. Kira snuggled into the warmth of his chest as she gazed up into the vast sky.
"Do you believe in fate?" she asked him quietly. Toshiro took a moment to respond, thinking of an appropriate answer.
"I suppose I do, to a degree at least. I believe that there is this driving force in the world that causes things to happen. Not like a god or anything, but this wild energy bursting to work its magic. Fate will only bring you so far, but once you get there, the rest is up to you," Toshiro explained. He hugged Kira tighter and bent down to whisper in her ear, "What about you, do you believe in fate?" A chill crept down Kira's back. His breath against her ear sent her heart into a frenzy as it began to beat harder.
"I…I don't know. I've never really believed in destiny, that there was a pre-designed plan in life. Fate is part of destiny, but maybe two people are drawn together by something. Not by something pre-planned, but by luck or will, "she explained still gazing at the stars. Maybe they held some answers for her. Recently her mind just seemed to be filled with muddle questions.
Toshiro swept away her loose hair, tucking it behind her ear and began to kiss the soft flesh of her neck. Kira leaned back into his kisses, her mind beginning to fog over into a blissful haze. His kisses moved slowly up to her ear and then her rosy cheeks. Kira shifted her position so that she was facing him more, giving him access to her mouth. He brought his lips down to meet her and moved his tongue over her warm lips. Kira parted her lips to give him entrance to her mouth which he eagerly wanted to enter. Their tongues began a slow dance of stroking and exploring, clutching to each other strongly. Kira felt the familiar stirring in her low abdomen, growing with every passing second. Wanting to get more comfortable, Kira straddled his hips, pressing herself against him. Toshiro led out a groan from the kissed and pressure, unable to ignore his quickly rising erection.
Making sure not to break the kiss, Kira reached down with a free hand to undo Toshiro's belt and pants. Finding what she sought, Kira began long, smooth strokes. Immense pleasure flooded through Toshiro's body as he bucked against her hand. Receiving the message, Kira stroked harder and faster. His breathing became ragged and was forced to end the kiss. He began moaning into Kira's ear, her body heating up and yearning for his touch. As quickly as it began it ended, Toshiro panting with the after glow of his release. He looked into Kira's eyes passionately, understanding her needs had not yet been met. They spent the rest of the night giving in to each other's pleasure while still keeping Kira's innocence.
A/N: I know this chapter is very short, but consider it a 'lost' chapter. I wrote it before I left for England so this was supposed to be chapter 8. I hope to come out with the next chapter soon; I'm almost done writing and revising. I think there will be 11 chapters so the story will soon come to an end. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I really appreciate your comments. Please review, it helps with my writing and lets me know when I'm doing something right. Thanks.
