M & M's
Chapter Three: Breathe
Thoughts

Mako and Mamo returned to her apartment, "Do you want to come up for some coffee?" she questioned as he walked her to the elevator.

Mamoru nodded, "Sure that sounds great."

"Make yourself at home." She kissed him before heading to the kitchen, turning on the stereo on her way. Frank Sinatra's Summer Wind softly filled the air.

Mamoru followed her and stood in the archway, watching as she sang along and gracefully moved to Old Blue Eyes smooth voice. He was hypnotized by her movements; she twirled with the grace that only a princess could posses, stopping suddenly when she noticed him standing there. He walked up to her and took her in his arms, and began to move with her, dancing in the kitchen.

Mako became intoxicated by the scent of Mamoru's earthy cologne. His deep sensual voice whispered the words of the song in her ear, his warm breath sending shivers of delight through her body.

Mamoru smiled and kissed her ear as he felt her melt further into his embrace. He gently twirled her around and dipped her as the song ended, enjoying the sight of her dress straining to keep her curvaceous breast covered. She smiled as he leaned over kissing her collar bone, working his way up her neck to her lips, slowly pulling her up in the process. He licked her bottom lip, tasting the minty remnants of her mojitos.

The oven dinged breaking the two from their embrace. "I had some coffee cake that I heated up." She explained as she pulled the baked goodie from the oven.

Mamoru grabbed the coffee pot and a couple of mugs and followed her out to the balcony, with a small table and an old, but very cozy looking couch.

Makoto's view overlooked the lake at Juuban Park. The moon shone brightly and reflected in the water, as the stars shone like diamonds strewn across black velvet.

They sat down, Mako snuggled up against Mamo, she cut a piece of coffee cake, and blew on it softly, driving Mamo crazy as her lips curved into an adorable pout as she cooled off the cake. She offered the piece to Mamo, who just as seductively ate it.

The nutty caramel coffee taste, exploded deliciously in his mouth, "Mako, you truly are a gifted cook."

Mako blushed as she fed him another piece, "Thank you, I've been flirting with the idea of quitting my job and going to culinary school."

Mamo smiled, "From what I've sampled of your cooking, culinary school is not needed." His smile grew bigger as her blush deepened. "But if it's something you really want to do, then go for it."

"What I would really like is to someday open my own restaurant." She sighed dreamily.

"Then do it, follow your dreams Mako, you have the power to make them come true." She smiled shyly as she fed him another bite, "When you open your restaurant I'll definitely be your first customer."

"I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather serve first." She smiled kissing him tenderly, tasting her own coffee cake on his lips.

"I think you already are." He smirked sexily as she kissed her again. He deepened the kiss, pulling her to his lap, smiling inwardly as she purred in contentment. She pulled her hair tie out, letting it tumble down in silky soft waves.

Mamo became lost in the sweet vanilla scent of her shampoo as he lowered her to the couch.

Ami and Greg returned to their apartment, "Makoto and Mamoru are so cute together." She sighed dreamily.

"Cuter than you and me?" he pouted playfully as he put his arms around her.

"Well, no, but they come a close second." She smiled softly at him.

Greg kissed her softly before heading to the bedroom, "Are you coming to bed?" he called out.

"In a minute, I'll be right there." Ami wondered off to her study. She sat down at her desk and opened the bottom drawer, pulling out a small box. She opened it revealing a dried rose, a movie ticket stub and napkin from Tabemono. She leaned back in her chair as she thought back to her first date with Greg.

Flashback
Three years ago Ami had been in Germany, studying at one of the worlds most prestigious medical schools. She had enjoyed the time and the experience she was gaining, but had become increasingly homesick. She had just typed an email to Mako about how much she missed the brunettes cooking, when someone bumped into her.

Ami turned around only to face a rather boyishly handsome young man, who was profusely apologizing, "I'm so sorry."

"Iie, iie, I mean, it's ok." She smiled.

"Hey, you're Ami Mizuno, you're ranked number one in the class."

Ami blushed, "And you are?"

He extended his hand, "Greg Anderson, number two." He smiled his lopsided grin, which made her stomach flip-flop. She took his hand and he kissed it, "It's a pleasure to meet you Ami."

"Likewise Greg."

"I was about to go get some coffee and then study for our O-Chem midterm at the little café down the street, would you like to join me?"

Ami smiled and nodded, "I'd like that. Just let me send this email." She quickly read through it before hitting send. "Alright, let's go." She grabbed her books and stood up.

He led her out of the library, "I didn't mean to read your email, but I couldn't help reading part of your email, the part about you missing your friends home cooking. I can't offer you that, since I can't cook to save my life, but there's a Japanese restaurant that I've found." She looked at him skeptically, "It's owned by an elderly Japanese couple," he tried to convince her of its authenticity, "It's called Tabemono, and I'd love to take you there after our midterm if you'd like to go with me." He blushed as he stuffed his hands deeper into his pockets and looked at the ground.

Ami blushed, He just asked me out, I can't believe it, "Sure Greg, I'd like that."
End Flashback

She closed the box and carefully placed it back in the drawer, before heading to the bedroom and the waiting arms of her fiancé.

The next morning Mamo woke up before Mako, he smiled as he kissed her forehead softly, careful not to wake her up.

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I've never been this swept away

The early morning light gently crept into her room, softly caressing her face, making her skin glow and her hair turn several shades of brown, she had an ethereal beauty around her that pulled him in.

Mako felt someone staring at her and opened her eyes, she blushed as she realized Mamoru was staring back at her. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she yawned, "Go back to sleep my little princess, it's still early." He gathered her into his arms, she smiled as she snuggled into his embrace.

She heard him yawn, and soon his breathing was steady, he too had fallen back to sleep. Mako kissed his neck, "Good night Ru." she whispered softly as she fell asleep to the rhythmic beat of his heart.

All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart


Mamo woke up later to Mako walking in holding a tray of breakfast. "Good morning!" she chirped cheerily as she placed the tray on his lap and removed the lid revealing eggs benedict, bacon, toast a glass of orange juice and coffee.

"Mako you're going to spoil me." He scolded playfully.

Mako bowed, "Well your majesty, as the prince of Earth, it is my job as a member of the Imperial Court of the Silver Millennium to serve you."

Mamo laughed, "Alright, then I order you to share this breakfast with me and to join me for dinner later on tonight."

She giggled, as he fed her a piece of eggs benedict, "Only if you let me cook."

"As you wish princess." He kissed her hand.

"Same goes for me your grace, your wish is my command."

Mamo just stared at her, lost in the emerald depths of her eyes. Her eyes held so much emotion in them, they truly were the window to her soul. Her eyes shined with tenderness and adoration towards him, and he knew that her eyes could never lie to him. Silence filled the room, and all he could hear was the sound of her breathing, and his heart beating in his ears. He reached for her and gently caressed her cheek with his thumb, slightly surprised by the flame that was ignited within him at her touch.

I can feel you breath
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
I can feel you breathe

Mako stared back at him, and could feel all the barriers she had put around her heart begin to fade away. Ever since Freddy had broken her heart, she had closed it off, vowing to never let anyone in again. But here, now, in this moment, Mamo was doing what no one before had been able to do, and surprisingly, she wasn't afraid to let him in, the emotions she felt for him were too strong to deny. Mamo expertly moved the tray from his lap to the nightstand, never breaking eye contact with her.

In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now

He pulled her close, he kissed her tenderly yet passionately. She looked up into his eyes and was taken back by the intense loving gaze she saw in his cerulean orbs. His eyes sent ripples of excitement flowing through her body. As if reading her mind, he wrapped his arms around her, she leaned back, allowing him to lower her to the bed. The cool sheets coming in contact with her back was a nice contrast to the warm body coming in contact with her front.

He kissed her again, then again with more intensity. She looked at him looked at where his hand was, then back at him. Mamo pulled away, he had no idea that his hand had wondered to her chest. She smiled shyly, and brought it back to where it had been. His expression was shocked, he looked deep into her eyes, "Are you sure you want to do this?" He found it incredibly hard to resist her.

Mako pulled him to her, "I've never wanted anything more in my life." She kissed him passionately then paused, "Just go slow," she whispered. "I've never done this before."

Mamo ran his hands up and down her body slightly startled at her admission, held her tenderly in his arms. She slowly slipped out of silk pajama pants as he did the same; she lifted her arms as he helped her out of her top. Then there they were, together, in each other's arms, totally aware of everything about one another.

Mamo pulled her in for another searing kiss, as his hands traveled down her sides to her hips. The warm touch of his hands only served to fan the fire that was rapidly growing inside her. She tossed her head back into the pillows giving him more access to her neck, she gasped in shock as she felt where one of his hands was wandering. "Its ok Kirei, just relax." he whispered before kissing her ear.

Mamo smiled to himself as he dipped a finger into her, feeling her body squirm beneath his. She dug her fingers into his shoulders, reaching for him, as he continued to tease her sensitive little nub. The sounds of her panting soon filled his ears as he watched her struggle to reach something she knew only he could give her.

He chuckled a little as she groaned when he stopped a moment before she reached her climax. He shifted his body to rest in between her legs, he placed his arms beside her and propped himself up on his elbows. He looked into her eyes one more time, to make sure that she was ready, he cringed when he saw a flash of hesitation, but as soon as it had come it passed, and was replaced by raw passion and burning desire. He gently worked his way in, forcing himself to go slow, trying to be as tender as possible. He felt her tense up beneath him, "It's ok Kirei, I promise I'll go slow." he waited until she relaxed to go a bit further. He stopped when he felt resistance, shocked that all of her years as a senshi hadn't already broken the barrier. He pulled back slightly then rocked forward, pushing against the barrier a little more. He did this a few more times, allowing her to adjust to the feeling of him inside her.

Mako looked up at him, his eyes were shut and he had a look of grief that marred his handsome face. She ran a hand through his hair and caressed his cheek, wondering if she had done something wrong.

Mamo opened his eyes and stared down into her bright green eyes, so full of hope, innocents, and love? Was it love in her eyes? All of a sudden he felt so unworthy of her, he found himself shaking. He was afraid of hurting her, more so than he had been with Usagi, yet he knew it would be unavoidable.

He rested his forehead on hers and kissed her lips apologetically, before thrusting forward tearing through her virginity, filling her completely. Mamo held her tightly to him as she felt him squirm, trying to separate herself from him. He moved his mouth to her ear whispered over and over how sorry he was as he felt her tears trickling down her cheek. He held her as she slowly calmed down, he wiped her tears away, "I'm so sorry Kirei, but I promise you it will get better."

He waited a few more moments before he began to move. Mako felt him beginning to move and soon the pain she had felt melted away and was replaced by an intense feeling she could not put into words.

When her moans and sighs indicated to him that she was at the height of her desire, he sped up, anxious to find his own release as well. He kissed her neck as she tossed her head back, her fingers gripping the sheets as her toes curled. Her back arched bringing her closer to him and she moaned in utmost pleasure, her inner walls clamped down on him as she rode out the waves of her first ever release. Seeing her so content was all that Mamo needed and he too was driven over the edge.

His arms no longer able to support his body gave way, and he collapsed on top of her. She held her to him her hands rubbing his back lightly, both bodies shimmered with a fine layer of sweat.

"Are you ok?" he asked as he looked into her eyes, enjoying the sensation of his heart beating against her breast.

She smiled, "Yes." she kissed him softly as she tucked a strand of his dark hair behind his ear.

He gently caressed her cheek, "Are you sure?"

"Oh yes, quite." she replied dreamily. He withdrew himself from her and lay down beside her, where he gathered her into his arms spooning her. He wrapped his arms around her and she entwined her fingers with his, and kissed them before bringing their joined hands to rest by her heart.

Mamo pulled the blankets up over them, and kissed her shoulder as they both drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Mina woke up and smiled as she looked at her blonde haired husband sleeping next to her. She gently brushed a golden lock of hair from his face and instinctively he snuggled closer to her, causing her to giggle softly. Sometimes it tripped her out that Motoki Furuhata chose her.

She cuddled into his embrace and just watched him sleep, lost in memories of their first date a year and a half ago.

Flashback
Mina sat in the Crown Arcade at the counter; she rested her head on the smooth cool surface.

"What can I get for you?" a cheerful voice broke into her thoughts. Mina slowly looked up, "Minako? What's wrong?" he leaned on the counter in front of her, worry clearly written on his face.

"Nothing, it's stupid." She tried to smile.

"It can't be stupid if you're that upset over it." He tried to coax her to tell.

Mina sighed, "Well as you probably already know, next week is Naru Osaka and Umino Gurio's wedding and everyone has a date except me. Usa has Seiya, Ami had Greg, Rei has Yuuchiro, Mako and Mamo decided to go as friends, since they've bonded after she lost Shino and he lost Usa... and me, who do I have?"

"Me." Motoki filled in.

Mina stopped her rambling, "Huh?"

Motoki took a deep breath in realizing that he had spoken out loud. Well here goes nothing. "Mina," he took her hand in his, "I would be honored to be your date to the wedding."

Mina shook her head, "I don't want you to feel obligated to take me."

"I didn't mean it that way, it's just that- well." He stuttered.

"Well what?"

"I've had a crush on you for a while, I've just been to afraid too say anything."

"Really?" Mina's heart soared, for she had always admired Motoki from afar.

Motoki smiled, "Really. Now would you do me the honor of allowing me to take you to this wedding on Saturday?"

Mina nodded her head, "Yes!" she squealed with joy. The door jingled and Mako walked in, waving to Mina and Motoki. "The ceremony is at 5, dinner to follow at 6:30. The girls are all getting ready at Mako's where the guys are picking us up at 4:15." She got up as Mako told her to hurry, "I have to go, Mako and I are going shopping for a dress to wear to the wedding, I'll see you Saturday!" she leaned in and kissed his cheek, making him blush before running out with Mako.
End Flashback

She smiled as she remembered what an amazing night she had had with Motoki. Three months later he had proposed, and now, here they were, husband and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Furuhata.

Alrighty, yay! I finished another chapter!! My first lemon... I know I only explained how Ami/Greg, Minako/Motoki got together, I'll explain Usa/Seiya and Rei/Yuuchiro in the next chapter... Song belongs to Faith Hill, or whoever wrote it... I know she sang it... anywho I don't own it or the characters. I got the info on Molly and Melvin's Japanese names from the Sailormoon website's frequently asked questions (FAQ) link. Part of my lemon scene was inspired by a piece I read written by Jubei.

Babymarmar: I wouldn't worry too much about Mamo's credit card, he is a Doctor after all... Thanks for the support!
Ange De Bleu: I can see where your coming from with the kiss, but I have to disagree... I have been kissed with such intensity that it took my breath away, leaving me both literally and figuratively breathless, but I will concede, for the most part kisses are soft and tender. Sucks that your boy lives so far away... I hate long distance things... although when you finally do see one another, making up for the time spent apart is the best... Take care chica!
Cris: Mucho mahalos! And thanks as always for the support!
Elara2: Thanks for the sweet comments on my work as well as my taste! Glad you like my recommendations, and if you come across any stories that you think I'd like feel free to leave me the title and author in your review and I'll definitely check it out! Thanks again! BTW, I LOVED The Letter I really hope that you write a sequel of Neph responding to Mako!
Becks: Thanks for leaving me with Greg's name, although I already knew it, I wanted his name to be Greg so that I could have him meet Ami at Med School... Anywho I had a blast seeing you and the family again. I'll have to stop by again soon, till I do say Hi hi to them for me!
