The Coffee Girl

Chapter 2

That morning, Rukia was in the kitchen wearing that oversized cotton t-shirt and old sweatpants, standing in front of the island with a cup of tea in her hand. Ichigo smiled seeing her like this and approached her to give her a good morning kiss that was too intense to be just "good morning", as if he hadn't kissed her in the morning before taking a bath with cold water to cool off the heat left by those kisses.

He was already dressed to go to the Kuchiki Tower even though it was Saturday and he wasn't supposed to go anywhere but in the living room of his house with his children and his wife. Byakuya required him in a meeting to see those other matters that no one should know about and Ichigo couldn't refuse; he must go whether he wanted to or not.

— Do you want some tea? — Rukia asked with a smile and a gasp as she broke the kiss.

She had left the cup of tea on the counter and had hugged him just to make the kiss more intense. Ichigo gave her lower lip a small bite just because he wanted to and could.

— You know I prefer coffee. — Ichigo gave her one more kiss before pouring himself a cup of coffee that was in the pot and stood behind her to kiss her shoulder again before whispering in her ear. — Even if you dress like this, as if you were an innocent girl, it will make me forgive you for this morning, for yesterday and for the day before yesterday. — He took her around the waist and pulled her to him just so he could feel her ass a little more. — I'm addicted to you and you can't keep me in this kind of cruel withdrawal.

Ichigo smiled hearing Rukia's gasp as he pulled her to him.

— We no longer have condoms… and we can't do it, I have an appointment with the gynecologist in a few hours. — Rukia whispered with a sly smile as she gently moved her hips just to tease him more.

— We wouldn't have that problem if you had let me have that surgery when I suggested it. — Ichigo gave her shoulder one more kiss and walked away from her to get some of his coffee.

Rukia's hip movements were starting to make him hard and he didn't want to have to take another cold bath before heading to the Kuchiki Tower. Rukia was definitely going to pay for that boldness.

— I like loaded guns, you know. — Rukia looked at him still smiling as she brought one of her small hands to Ichigo's crotch to caress him. — Without that danger it wouldn't be fun.

Rukia was provoking him with that look, with that tone of voice and those caresses, knowing that he couldn't do anything at that moment. He was hard and he really wanted to be inside his woman, who hadn't stopped caressing him and smiling at him with that wicked expression he loved on her.

— Fuck the gynecologist, reschedule the appointment. — Ichigo gasped before making Rukia face the counter and lift her buttocks. Ichigo stood behind her and put his hand inside his wife's pants and underwear to start masturbating her.

— Ichigo, we're in the kitchen, the kids… — Rukia gasped, leaning against the counter but not resisting what he was doing to her as he pulled down the old pants she was wearing along with her underwear.

— It's Saturday, they're asleep. — Ichigo replied before kissing her neck only to find her lips and kiss her again.

Rukia's tongue entered his mouth, fighting to dominate that kiss in a delicious and raunchy way. Ichigo could feel Rukia's legs trembling as she moved against him, he could feel her completely wet and ready to receive him, and Ichigo didn't hesitate to drop his pants along with his boxers and enter his wife in a hoarse gasp.

— Ichigo… — Rukia's voice was charged with the same pleasure and desire that he felt at that moment, and he could only make a noise with his throat showing that he had heard her, but without stopping moving against her, feeling how hot and wet and delicious it was to be inside her. — Harder, my love. Harder.

— Yes my love, as you order. — He gasped before putting a hand over Rukia's mouth so that her moans, which were getting louder, wouldn't draw the children's attention in case they were awake.

Rukia licked Ichigo's palm and that only made him curse as he continued to thrust into her and grab her hips to hold her in place. He felt her finish in such a delicious way that she made him her prisoner in that ending, that he didn't stop until she reached that little personal paradise again and he reached it with her feeling how he filled her with him.

They stayed in that position for a moment, relishing the lingering pleasure left over from such "furtive" encounters, and trying to catch their breath. Ichigo released Rukia's mouth as he rested his forehead on her shoulder and took his time before pulling out of her.

— We don't use a condom. — Rukia whispered before letting out a gasp as he pulled out of her.

— I know.

They both panted as they spoke but didn't move from that position.

— I missed doing it like that. — Ichigo smiled upon hearing that statement from his wife.

— Me too. Do not move.

Ichigo gave his wife one more kiss and reached for a paper napkin, he quickly wiped himself off and then with a clean napkin he wiped his wife clean to remove the evidence. When their clothes were back in place, Ichigo reached for his coffee cup, which had gone cold, and watched his wife return to holding her teacup before sitting down on one of the chairs facing the island to get some rest.

— I'll bring you the pill when I get back from the meeting.

— No, it is not necessary.

Ichigo raised an eyebrow at her, but before he could say anything, the voice of his sons distracted him. It was Saturday, the twins were supposed to sleep until noon, but those kids had a habit of getting up early on the weekends and making them struggle during the school week, which was when they least wanted to get out of bed.

They both thought they were lucky their children didn't find them doing it on the island counter, or they would have a lot to explain to their children that day.

The twins were really excited, the day before they had been told that they would go on vacation with their grandparents during the summer and that had them with energy and happiness at an all-time high. Rukia had only agreed to let them go because they wouldn't be going on vacation that year because of all the work they had on top of them and she didn't want to have the kids in the house all day while they were working on the Kuchiki Tower.

Besides, with Isshin and Masaki the twins would be safe.

Ichigo kissed Rukia goodbye and the twins complained at the display of affection between their parents, causing Ichigo to mess up their hair as a farewell before leaving. Ichigo loved his children and spent the weekends being with them as much as possible, that's why he didn't like those last minute meetings that Byakuya used to have sometimes.

Byakuya's meeting was more of the same, trusted men were there and a few more.

Ichigo was sitting next to Byakuya, as his position within the organization warranted, and he dedicated himself to listening to what his brother-in-law had to say and the excuses of some other involved in an incident where a precious shipment of fairy dust had been "lost" and ended up in some "unknown" place.

It was definitely a meeting that couldn't wait until evening to dress it up for any social event and keep a low profile. That shipment was worth millions that Byakuya didn't like losing.

— I'm a generous man but I do not like mistakes. — Byakuya's cold voice made everyone fall silent in that meeting. The Boss got up from his seat, adjusted his raincoat and went to the exit of that underground room. — Ichigo, take care of this.

Ichigo nodded at his brother-in-law's order and snapped his fingers for his men to hold onto the idiot responsible for losing that precious shipment. The other attendees said goodbye to Byakuya, ignoring that man's pleas, and waited for the Boss to leave before leaving after him.

Ichigo's men took the guy to one of the cellars in the Kuchiki tower and hung him by his wrists so that only the tips of his shoes touched the ground. The man kept begging for mercy and forgiveness, but was brutally ignored by Ichigo.

— We can do this in an easy way. You tell me who's responsible for losing that shipment and I'll see to it that your body is found with a noose down your throat. — Ichigo clarified as he put on a pair of black gloves and chose from a wide assortment of torture instruments that were laid out for him on a metal table. — We can also do this the hard way and not even your mother will recognize what will be left of you.

— I swear, I swear… I don't know what happened. — The man was really denying everything.

Ichigo sighed and picked up a metal bar.

— The hard way it will be.

The man begged for mercy again and Ichigo started the interrogation.

It only took a little pain and the man began to sing like the little birds. Ichigo didn't like what he was hearing and Byakuya would like it less when he told him. He got as much information out of the guy as he could and then he killed him. Byakuya didn't need rats within the organization.

— Get rid of the body. The pigs haven't eaten and this guy looks good enough to feed them. — Ichigo ordered his men as he took off his gloves and took out his phone to call Byakuya.

No, Byakuya will not be happy.

It was late when he left that last minute meeting and surely Rukia would be upset because he had been out of the house all day. As he thought about how to make his wife happy for the delay caused by Byakuya and the rat, his phone rang with the characteristic tone that indicated that it was Rukia who sent the message.

Ichigo opened the conversation and immediately smiled seeing what Rukia had sent him. It was a picture of her in new lingerie that he hadn't seen and a pair of high heels that only made her legs more beautiful. Immediately after that photo, a message appeared that made him smile more.

Ichigo, without hesitation or wasting another second, started his car and hit the accelerator to get home. Those nights without the kids were sacred.

At the beginning of their marriage, the cornerstone that shaped everything was sex.

Throughout their courtship and until the first year of marriage, it was something that was never lacking between them. At that time Rukia used birth control pills to avoid getting pregnant, neither of them wanted children at that time, but the pills failed and with that failure came the first crisis they went through together.

When Rukia found out she was pregnant, the argument between them turned from "you were supposed to be taking care of yourself!" to "this happens when you have sex, and we have a lot of it!"

The anger between them gave way to surprise when they both went to the appointment with the gynecologist and she showed them the ultrasound where it was clear that they were two little beans instead of one.

After that revelation, they had to sit down and talk about everything that was happening and accept that it would no longer be just the two of them having fun in the world. Although neither of them wanted children yet, when the idea of terminating the pregnancy was raised, both immediately denied it.

The pregnancy changed everything and it wasn't like the maternity magazines that Rukia bought to understand a little more about everything that was going to happen to her body and her life and everything that included bringing a new life into the world.

Mood swings, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, dizziness, seeing how everything changed every day and having to accept that her clothes no longer fit her as before was a very hard reality check for both of them because if Rukia wasn't happy, Ichigo wasn't happy.

The second crisis in their marriage was the fact that they no longer had sex as they used to, and that caused a lot of problems for a while.

After the twins were born, the real problem began about how to keep alive two beings who were completely dependent on them. They were both tired and cranky even though they had help from babysitters to take care of the babies, plus occasional help from Masaki. Rukia was sore, sad and, having left her job to take care of her children, she was frustrated.

Ichigo was dragged by his brother-in-law to the family businesses and he left the house, the city and the country a lot, so when he came home he was just as tired as Rukia. Rukia began to complain to him about not feeling desired by him anymore, about not seeming pretty to him anymore and a lot of insecurities that were unleashed in her mind, all because both were so exhausted that they didn't even have time to dedicate themselves to them, as a couple, they had.

What brought them to a point where they had to really think about what was going on with them was when Rukia accused him of infidelity that he didn't commit. There wasn't even a suspect, it was just an accusation that she made to take out her frustration because he didn't touch her, and because there were nights that he didn't come home to sleep because of work.

It was also on that day that they discovered how pleasurable and wild make-up sex after a fight was.

Everything got better when Rukia returned to her job at the Kuchiki Tower and Ichigo took on the responsibility of taking care of themselves so they wouldn't have any more children because the doctor forbade Rukia from birth control pills.

If Rukia was in a good mood, Ichigo was in a good mood and the sex, as well as their relationship and their performance as parents, definitely improved.

That day, Rukia texted him in the middle of the morning telling him that she would do some things and then go shopping with one of her friends who had returned to the city, and he told her that he was going for coffee. Rukia wished him a happy day and then logged off. Ichigo did the same and called his secretary to reschedule all morning appointments for after lunch or another day.

The secretary nodded and Ichigo grabbed his coat, his car keys and left the Kuchiki Tower for the cafeteria from the previous week.

The coffee girl was there and again the coffee shop was empty, but she smiled at the sight of him as if her best customer had arrived. Ichigo didn't even have to say what he wanted, the girl seemed to have memorized it from last time and he only confirmed the order when she recited it with a slight hesitation in her voice.

This time there was chocolate cake in the cooler and Ichigo ordered a slice and sat back at the bar.

The girl again wished him a good meal, although she seemed to want to tell him something else but she didn't and went to sit in her seat. Ichigo looked at her reading a magazine, and he could see how pretty she was, her brown hair and those green eyes gave her a tender appearance.

It was the first time he made a contrast between his wife and someone else.

Rukia was elegance made a woman, perfect in every way, and that girl was so ordinary that she captivated.

Ichigo finished his coffee, paid cash again and left, thinking again that he would be back next week.
