Wordlessly, Shuei looked up from the floor and into the amethyst eyes of his young partner, slowly reaching up to push the robe away from his shoulders, standing on his knees to lean in closer. With his abdomen between Kouryuu's legs and against the side of the bed, he placed his hands on the boy's upper arms and bent his neck downward, pressing his lips to the silky smooth skin of his shoulder. Kouryuu turned his head to the side to watch as the man kissed his bare, delicate skin with utmost care, wary at the same time he was enjoying it. It was just that he'd never been touched so tenderly or kindly before, aside from Master Sanzo, but that was different. Koumyou's touch was like that of a parent, nothing like Shuei's sensual, almost erotic kissing and touching of his body.

Shuei trailed his soft kisses across the boy's shoulder and up to the curve of his neck, parting his lips just enough to let the tip of his tongue tease at the skin. Kouryuu gasped at the warm, wet feeling against his neck and tilting his head to the side, he arched his neck into the attention it was getting, letting his eyes fall closed. Shuei let more of his tongue out and lashed it against the other's long, pale, and slender neck, tasting his skin and inhaling through his nose to take in the boy's alluring scent, his senses drowning in it for the next few moments.

"Sh-Shuei..." Kouryuu whimpered, as his tender, sensitive skin was wet with the man's tongue, a shiver running through his body at the simple yet pleasing feeling that Shuei was giving to him. While Shuei's erection was reaching its peak height and hardening steadily, his own was just beginning to form. He first felt a stirring in his penis before it began to firm and then take shape, his body readying itself for a full-blown sexual encounter that he was beginning to anticipate more and more each second. Kouryuu flinched at the new sensation between his legs and let his breath out shakily, taking in another, as he needed oxygen in his body.

Shuei didn't need to look to understand what was happening to the boy's young, inexperienced but eager body and smiled to himself as he lapped his way up his neck, tickling his earlobe with the tip of his tongue. He pulled back to witness the aroused, enraptured expression on Kouryuu's face and smiled at him softly, reaching up with his right hand to push back a few strands of golden hair that were threatening to slide into the boy's face.

"You're quick to feel pleasure, Kouryuu, I like that." Shuei murmured quietly and reached up to grasp the shoulders of Kouryuu's robe, sliding them back behind his arms and down, exposing the boy's lean chest and just a hint of his stomach. Kouryuu opened his eyes and blinked them to clear his vision, looking down as he felt hands near his waist and found Shuei untying the belt-like cloth there, the one holding his robe closed.

"Shuei... is it going to hurt?" He asked anxiously as he watched the man pull the cloth strip away from his waist and then drop it onto the floor with his own robe and sash, gulping at what was to be done next. Shuei slowly pulled the robe away from Kouryuu's body and pushed it back farther until it slipped off the boy completely, relishing the sight of the lithe, naked form sitting on his bed before him. He smiled at him and reached up to caress the side of his face gently and lovingly, as if to reassure him that everything would be fine.

"It might hurt a little at first, but I'll go slow and make sure that it only hurts as much as it's supposed to... once the pain subsides, you'll experience incredible feelings that I'm positive you've never imagined before." Shuei smiled softly to him and slowly leaned forward, parting his lips as he pressed them gently to Kouryuu's, giving him his first kiss. The boy felt his brow arch quickly in surprise as he hadn't seen this coming and was hardly prepared to return the kiss, but he tried, pressing his lips up against the ones covering them.

Shuei chuckled good-naturedly at Kouryuu's attempt and reached behind the boy's head to bury his hand in his hair, tangling his fingers into the silky gold strands he'd admired for so long. His lips were even softer than he'd imagined, pink and full, the kind that just begged to be kissed... it was amazing.

Though Shuei wanted nothing more than to ravage the boy and teach him all of the pleasures of the body, he knew that they had precious little time to share each other and subtly made it known to Kouryuu. Kissing him passionately for a few minutes before he picked him up and turned him, he set the boy back down onto the bed on his back, straddling his narrow, smooth hips as he leaned over him. Shuei could tell that he was very nervous and felt much the same, pausing for a moment to give Kouryuu some time to think, looking him over in the meantime. His skin was flawless and it seemed to glow in the moonlight pouring down onto them from the window by his bed, his hair golden and perfect both to the sight and touch. His eyes, slowly opening to peer up at him shimmered with both anxiety for his virginity and curiosity of what was to happen in the next few moments, locking onto Shuei's own dark orbs.

It was time; Shuei couldn't hold himself back any longer without growing mad from the desire he had for the boy he was courting. Carefully, as if too much force might break him, he grasped Kouryuu's legs and lifted them up in the air, hoping that he was flexible enough to be comfortable in the position he was creating as he shifted into place above him. The blonde inhaled sharply but quietly and slid his gaze sideways to stare at the floor for a moment, attempting to get a grip of his bearings and to calm down his rapidly palpitating heart. He knew that in a few tense, slow moments, his virginity would be replaced by the man's long, hardened arousal, moving in and out of him as he was made love to. Kouryuu had never done something forbidden before, and the excitement it caused him only added to his unease, though when he felt Shuei lean down farther to press a light kiss to his brow, a small smile lit up his face and he turned his head to look up at him.

"I'm okay, Shuei," he answered before brunette could ask, chuckling softly when the man grinned and nodded once, glancing down at their lower bodies and shifting himself, edging a little closer to the blonde's bottom.

"Don't be afraid to tell me to stop, Kouryuu... if it hurts too much, tell me. I want you to enjoy this," he murmured tenderly and leaned back a bit to have easier access and to see what he was doing as he held his breath, guiding himself into the boy with a steady hand. Neither of them made a sound as he placed the tip of his erection at the small, tight entrance of Kouryuu, slowly pushing forward and moving the slightest bit of the head of his penis around the little inlet to the boy's body. Shuei was taking his time as he gradually stretched out the other's entrance and pushed himself inside as was permitted, up until the moment he found the entire head of his arousal within Kouryuu's warmth, groaning softly as the muscles constricted against him - the intruder.

Kouryuu was breathing unevenly, almost as if in shock as the man paused for a moment to enjoy his body tensing as it was, not feeling so much pain just quite yet. There was only a slight discomfort and a dull, subtle burning where Shuei was currently paused, though it didn't remain that way much longer, the brunette grasping the boy's hips to brace him. The muscles still constricting around him, Shuei gave into his desire to be submerged in Kouryuu's heat and pushed ahead suddenly, forcing his erection against the tight, squeezing muscles and farther into his virgin, untouched passage, groaning in delight at the feeling of the boy's body clamping down on him harder.

"Ahhhn..." The younger male cried out softly and his shoulders bent inward as his back arched gracefully, a sight that Shuei had imagined several times on those frequent, lonely nights when he would pleasure himself, imagining that it was his flaxen-haired little angel with him. The dark-haired man paused once more to allow Kouryuu's body time to relax and so that he could lean down and kiss each of his eyelids, taking into consideration that it was his first time and that he was likely very sensitive to the kind of pain he was experiencing at that moment.

"Kouryuu... relax for me, take deep breaths... it's okay... the pain will be gone, soon..." Shuei cooed softly and tenderly, as a mother would while comforting her child, taking one hand from his hip and placing it in his hair, stroking the golden strands of silk. The last thing he wanted to do was make this experience scary or painful to the boy, though in another moment of thought and consideration, he again realized that they didn't have much time. Koumyou was waiting and though he was a bit preoccupied with his pipe and his own thoughts, he would notice their tardiness soon. With that in mind, Shuei took his hand from his lover's hair and placed it back on his hip, waiting for him to open his eyes and look up at him to speak.

"We don't have a lot of time to do this... so I'm going to start, okay?" He warned, not wanting to catch the boy off guard. Kouryuu took a deep breath and nodded his head, though he did something to make himself more comfortable before the man began. He took his legs down from his shoulders and placed his feet on the bed, spreading his legs as far as he possibly could so that they wouldn't be in Shuei's way. This way, his legs weren't being pushed into him and his hips like they had been when the other had entered him, and in actuality, Shuei could get even closer to him while they made love. Kouryuu smiled to himself at the thought, and hardly noticed when the significantly older male started to draw himself out, preparing for the first thrust.

"I... I love you, Shuei..." The boy admitted, heart racing as he waited for the other's response. He had said it before, but he wanted to hear the words pass his lips again.

I love you...
