Heels 22
It was a whirlwind of clothes and props for the next few hours and they only stopped for a small lunch before they were at it again.
Ren was spellbound. He loved how silly she was in the Halloween costume, how relaxed she looked as she pretended to sleep in a hammock by his side or how breathtakingly beautiful she looked in the white wedding dress.
That particular picture would forever be imprinted on his retina. It was a dream of white and lace and they had gone all out with makeup and hair. He found himself swallowing hard when they pretended to give their vows and he lingered for a few moments as they sealed the marriage with a kiss. Justin's eyes were moist with emotions as they had the first dance and Mary-Ann trembled slightly in his arms when she met his warm gaze.
Ren was used to quick changes but he had barely time to still his heart between the takes and her acting always made it jump around his ribcage like a puppy.
It was too easy to forget to act but his and Justin's emotions mirrored each other's well enough to slip past the assistant that coordinated their pictures.
Mary-Ann laughed out loud when she bit down on the slice of watermelon and the juice dripped down her chin and onto her shirt. His eyes filled with love and the camera sounded before he was pulled out of the frame yet again.
'Calm down.' Ren tried to force his mind back on track as he pulled the last pair of clothes on the rack off their hangers.
'How? She is perfect.' Justin sighed happily inside his head and Ren couldn't find anything to argue about that. He could see Kyoko's arms reach up over the drape in the corner of his eye and he told himself yet again not to look.
'Still...' Ren sighed and pulled the shirt over his head. He closed his eyes for a few moments and put a hand on his heart in a try to convince it to return to healthy levels of excitement. He found himself failing and he sighed before he pulled the rest of his clothes on.
"Tsuruga-san, this way." A young man called from outside the drape and Ren pulled a deep breath before he followed the assistant to the greenscreen.
"The beer is without alcohol." He could hear someone say when he stepped on the set and he saw Kyoko lift a glass with yellow liquid and foam on the top. Ren felt his heart ignore his concern about a premature death and began jumping harder while he took her in.
She was dressed in a tight black and silver party dress and had the highest heels he had ever seen her in. Her long legs and the skin-tight clothes made his gut bounce between his heart and pelvis like a bouncy ball. He pulled a sharp breath when she suddenly lifted her golden eyes towards him and he could see the catlike eyes and red lips smirk his way.
'Oh hell...' Justin drooled and whistled loudly in his head.
"Tsuruga-san, just two pictures in this scene. One at the bar, and one dancing with Kyoko-chan." The assistant said and Ren felt himself nod as he got his feet to take the last few steps. A glass was put in his hand and Kyoko let his eyes go for a moment to look at his clothes. He had no idea what he was wearing as his mind had been occupied on different matters, but he liked the way her eyes lit up and the short exhale that slipped past her lips as she admired him from top to toe.
He let his heart jump around again, perfectly happy about the boneless feeling in his body.
"Chop chop. Kurosaki want to give scene 45 a shot before we are done for the night so we need to hurry." The assistant said and both actors snapped into focus again.
'Scene 45.' Ren swallowed hard and saw how Kyoko did the same. Their tension lasted for a moment and then they both let out their characters.
.
.
'Scene 45!' Kyoko pushed her heart back into her chest and swallowed hard to make sure it had completely moved down from her throat.
'I got it. Cheeseus! Take it easy.' Mary-Ann groaned and stepped forward. Kyoko quickly gave her room but then shook her head.
'We got it.' Kyoko said with a firmness that surprised even herself. 'I'm sure of it.' She smirked and walked on the dangerous shoes towards the makeshift bartop. It was only another green box in the sea of green but she pretended to be back in Guam and mirrored how she had seen girls lean against the counter. Justin took his place beside her and they both lifted their glasses in a cheer.
"Try to look more flirting." The assistant said and both leaned in closer. Mary-Ann tilted her head slightly, inviting him to reach her ear. She took down the arm closest to him from the counter to seem more inviting. Justin's eyes burned and he shifted slightly until he almost faced her. They locked eyes and seductive smiles began to grow on both of their faces.
"Perfect!" The assistant said and Mary-Ann reached out her hand to brush against Justin's thigh. The ember in his eyes glowed stronger and her smirk grew more satisfied.
"Good. Stay like that." The camera sounded as it moved around them.
The time seemed to stop as Kyoko felt everything that the ember did to her body. The molten metal in her gut began to swirl and her body heated up. She let the finger on his thigh ghost a touch just above his knee and dragged it slowly over the black jeans to the inseam. She saw his lips part as she slowly followed the crease in the fabric higher. She only let her finger move and stopped after she couldn't reach higher without bending her elbow. She drew small circles over his sensitive skin with her nail but soon felt his leg push slightly into her touch instead.
"Great! Let's move on to dancing." A voice cut through Kyoko's mind and she took a step back the same time as Ren did. She lowered her glance and glared at her hand that had moved on its own.
'Inner thigh- a very sensitive area that will react even to the slightest touch.' Mary-Ann quoted from memory and Kyoko glanced towards her co-actor quickly. The dark grey shirt he had on lifted at every breath and she could see his firm chest through the fitted fabric. The neckline dipped down enough for her to catch a bit of his breastbone and she moved her eyes higher until she could see the slight blush on his cheeks. His pupils almost swallowed his irises and she wondered if she would ever get used to seeing the beautiful green colour. The smirk on her lips grew as she lifted her hand again and hooked it into one of his belt hoops.
"This way." She said and dragged him with her away from the bar.
.
.
Ren knew that it was probably impossible to play Justin to the full after her little tease as they listened to the instruction from the assistant. His hands would be placed low on her back and she would reach up to hold around his neck. Her shoes made the difference in height less of a problem and they planned to use it.
"Flush together, and stare lovingly into eachothers' eyes." He instructed and Ren pulled a steadying breath.
'Well, it was a matter of time, really. Our emotions match up too well, so I will let you dance with my wife for a while. I know she is a sucker for love so I will help you practice a bit.' Justin said matter-of-factly as he stepped back and let Ren step forward to wrap his arms around her. Mary-Ann draped her arms around his neck and he could see the smile on her face when she noticed how close they were.
He only needed to bend his head slightly to reach her lips and had to stop himself from doing just that.
He melted into her eyes and they slowly shifted from side to side as they pretended to dance.
He tried so hard to keep his physical reaction to their tension hidden but she suddenly pressed harder against him. He knew that she must have noticed, even if he couldn't see any hint of trouble on her face. The picture was done too soon and the assistant quickly pulled them away to wardrobe.
.
.
Kyoko couldn't help but glance around Ren's hips as they moved to change their clothes. She could have sworn something had pressed into her stomach when they danced but there was no detail on the fitted jeans that should have warrant it. He didn't even have a belt.
A slight frown grew on her brow but it soon got wiped away when Mika and Taka began to work on her.
Kyoko immediately recognised the blouse and reality caught up with her again.
'Scene 45.' Echoed around her head and every character at her disposal adjusted themself into a fighting stance.
'We are ready!' They let out a roar in response.
"Let's do this." Kyoko said with fire burning her eyes and Mika gave her a quick lift of her eyebrow before she moved on to the pants.
"Here you go!" Mika said to her and held out a piece of nude fabric. Kyoko stared at it without understanding what she saw.
"What is it?" Kyoko asked and Mika smiled.
"Your coverup for the scene at the kitchen island. They will film one of your hips naked so this one goes on the other one. We will use some fabric tape to fix it in the front."
Kyoko blinked slowly while a shudder travelled her body.
'We got your back! No backing down.' The characters pushed her on and Kyoko pulled a calming breath.
"Can you help me?" She asked and Mika nodded.
"Of course."
.
.
Ren stood in the hallway and watched the crew putting the finishing touches on the pictures that hung in the hallway. His eyes locked onto one that was placed right opposite where he was standing. It was just a few hours ago he posed for it but he couldn't help but imagine it to be real. Kyoko had climbed onto his back and tilted her head to his for a kiss. The greenscreen had been exchanged for an amusement park and they had matching ears on their heads. A wad of cotton candy was clenched in her hand and he balanced her with one arm and a large drink in the other.
Ren smiled as he could easily see Kyoko shine through the facade even if they had changed her face with the make-up.
"Tsuruga-san." A voice called his attention and the camera crew that they had toasted with before stood to his side. All four men smiled towards him and he quickly bowed their way.
"Hello. Please, take good care of us again." Ren greeted and the oldest of the men waved his hand like it was unnecessary.
"We just wanted to talk to you a bit about the angles. You will be commanding the placement so we thought it could be good if you knew. That way, we don't have to do too many reshoots." He said and Ren nodded. Considering how long he had needed to adjust his clothes to not make his feelings too apparent to Kyoko, he would appreciate it if his hard work wouldn't go to waste by a prolonged shooting. He quickly agreed and listened to all their input.
They were wrapping it up when Kyoko arrived. Kurosaki lifted his head when he heard her voice and he clapped his hands together.
"Thank you everyone for your hard work. Let's move on to this scene. I would love to finish it today as we then have all of tomorrow to stabilise what will be destroyed." He smirked and Ren forced himself not to blush. "Good! I want everyone in their place and ready in 2 minutes." The director said and Ren felt someone move up beside him. Kyoko smiled when he turned towards her.
"Take care of me for this scene." She said and Ren smiled warmly. He couldn't spot any uncertainties at first glance but his gut told him that she was nervous.
"Take care of me as well." He said with the fake confidence pained on his face.
.
.
Mary-Ann walked down the hallway with slow steps. The stiffness in her body was evident and her emotionless eyes twitched in a frown for a moment. She flipped her head towards the doorway for the kitchen a moment before Justin appeared and grabbed her shoulders. His hands weren't gentle and her eyes burst into flames as he pushed their lips together hard.
The force in the act made her back up until her back hit the wall. He had cushioned the impact slightly the moment before she hit but she gasped in pain to make it seem like it had hurt her.
Her eyes burned with the angry flirty fight and she gripped his shoulders hard and pushed with what looked like all her force. Justin growled slightly when he was forced back into the built-in cupboard across the hallway. The glass shattered and rained down on his shoulders. Mary-Ann grinned in triumph and threw him a dark challenging smirk before she turned around and continued down the hallway. Justin's eyes burned with fighting spirit as he quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He steered her into the wall again at the perfect place so that the camera crew would be able to be out of eachothers' angles.
Mary-Ann gasped when all air got pushed out of her body with the force of the impact. She flipped her eyes open and got a good grip of his hair. Their eyes locked for a moment before they both moved in. Their lips crashed against each other and the excessive force made them both groan. The boiling feelings mirrored on their faces and Justin pushed it further as he gripped her shirt and ripped it apart. Their lips didn't stop but Mary-Ann opened her eyes and he could clearly see that she wanted to take the power back.
Justin's hands moved down to her hips and she felt the fingers grip hard. His head got pulled back when she used some force to pull his hair. She pushed her chest forward and gripped his shoulder and jumped. Her legs landed around his lower torso and her face was in level with his, if not a slight bit higher. She began a grin but he stopped it with his lips. Mary-Ann flinched and her grip of his hair loosened as she succumbed to his talented lips. She gasped into his mouth and slipped her hands between them. She ripped his shirt hard and it broke down the middle. Her legs and his arms stopped her from pulling it too far apart but she could feel his warm skin against her stomach. Mary-Ann pushed into the kiss again as her hands moved over his shoulders to scratch over the cuts on his back.
Justin flinched and lifted her off the wall before he moved slightly to the side and pushed her into the mirror. It broke with a loud crack and Mary-Ann let out a pained whine. Justin claimed her lips for a few moments and she paid back with more nails over his cuts. Their breaths were heavy and they both knew that neither had gotten a victory in their fight. A primal desire could be seen in both their eyes as Justin lifted her off the wall again and turned around towards the kitchen.
"And Cut!" Kurosaki said and both actors slipped out of their characters. Their lips were still against each other and they quickly parted. Kyoko's feet landed safely on the ground and they turned towards Kurosaki.
"Great shot. One more time to be safe! Kyoko, try to make your desire visible a bit earlier. Ren, flinch more when she scratches your wounds. I want the fight to be as equal as possible." The director said and they both nodded. Mika ran forward with new shirts for them and Kyoko pulled hers on quickly. Mika made sure Ren's shirt still had the rips and blood in the right place so that it wouldn't be visible before his back hit the cupboard. Taka handed Kyoko a wet-wipe and she quickly cleaned her nails from the fake blood from Ren's back as he fixed the makeup around her mouth.
Taka turned her to get better light and she suddenly faced Ren. His beautiful green eyes met her over the few meters that separated them and she knew she would have no problem with showing her desire for the next take.
It was barely five minutes later that the glass and mirror had been changed and they took their spots again.
Kyoko pulled a slow deep breath and all the characters in her head let out a roar.
"Take two. Go!"
.
.
Ren sat in the makeup chair as they worked on the wounds on his back. He closed his eyes and tried every trick he had learned about mediation to not let his mind soak in the memories of her heated kisses or the firm legs that had wrapped around his body. He needed a calm mind for the next part if he wanted to walk off the set with his reputation somewhat intact.
He peaked towards his left and saw Kyoko smile towards the makeup team that worked on her. He closed his eyes again and pulled deep breaths through his nose and exhaled through his mouth until he began to feel dizzy.
He thanked the crew when they finished and made a short pit stop at the bathroom to adjust his clothes once again.
..
Kyoko wrapped her legs around his lower torso and Mika adjusted her clothes until it looked like the last shot. She stayed still as someone she didn't know the name of pulled Ren's shirt until it was as close as it could be to how she had left it before.
"Pull your shirts off as you walk to the kitchen island and then push Kyoko down on it while you lean over her. I don't think you will be able to kiss her as the island is a bit higher than the writer assumed. Water will splash over you both, show the pain but don't stop. Remove her pants and then kiss her when you pull her towards the edge. I want really animalistic passion out of this so you can move outside the script a bit if you think it will show it better." Kurosaki said and Kyoko really wished that he would have said it before she had jumped up on Ren. Both nodded towards him and Kurosaki grinned widely before he turned around. He stopped and turned his head towards Ren again. "This is a bit more visual than usual for Asian movies but we are aiming for a worldwide premiere. We need to meet in the middle and for that I need both of you to give it your all. Equal fight, remember?" He said and Ren swallowed before he nodded. Kyoko fought the blush on her cheeks again.
'I have to match Ren so that we won't need as many retakes.'
'I will do my best. But I wished you would at least have tried to reach an orga... ' Mary-Ann sighed with mirth.
'I watched that video you forced me to watch. It will be enough!' Kyoko screamed and pushed the married woman out to the front before time. Mary-Ann wasn't that pleased to find her legs wrapped around the wrong man but as he looked identical to her husband, she stayed quiet as she waited.
"Ready?" Kurosaki asked and the camera crew gave their thumbs up and both actors nodded.
"Go!"
.
.
Ren stayed directly under the surface as Justin gripped his wife's hips harder. He blamed it on protectiveness, if he stayed close, he would be able to stop things if Kyoko looked uncomfortable. But honestly, he was simply curious. He wanted to know how well she would act out the primal desire. Cain rolled his eyes from the back as he sighed over his host's stupidity.
Justin met her lips and one hand left her hips to pull at her shirt. She quickly slipped her arms out one at the time and he dropped the torn fabric to their side. Ren felt her skin flush against his stomach and could only rejoice when she tugged at his shirt. He slipped the free arm out first and then shifted his grip to let the other out. His arms slid against her waist as he gripped her and Ren growled.
They had closed the distance to the kitchen island and Justin smirked into her lips before he pushed her down on it hard.
Mary-Ann lost her grip on his shoulders and her hand hit the handle of the pot of water that looked like it was boiling on the stove. A large amount splashed on their shoulders. The water was ice cold and both flinched and gasped in pain before they ignored it. It was nothing to the feelings in their bodies.
Justin realised that he couldn't reach her face as she had landed too far in on the island and he leaned down and kissed and nibbled on her stomach as his fingers worked the button on her pants. She arched against him and Ren peeked on her beautiful body as he gripped the pants and pulled down.
He was so close to her most intimate area but he focused on quickly finishing his task and her pants soon lay crumpled on the floor.
He felt her heel dig into his lower back and he gripped her hips and pulled her towards him. Her feet landed on the floor but he didn't turn her around as he had been promised a kiss before that. He gripped the marble on both her sides and pushed his lips to hers. She gasped into his mouth but her hands soon pulled his focus. She quickly worked the button on his pants and then gripped the waistband and pushed down.
Ren closed his eyes and grunted when the fabric gave him the sweet feeling of pressure. Mary-Ann rocked their hips together and Ren moved. He gripped her hips and increased the pressure before he sought her lips again. It wasn't enough and he flipped her around.
Mary-Ann braced herself on the marble and her feet found the railing that ran around the bottom of the island. It served as a footrest every other day but now helped to take her to the perfect height to continue. Ren watched the beautiful back that arched off the cold marble surface in front of him and he let his hips push into her offering behind. The pressure was perfect and his face twisted in lust as he leaned over her and pressed his skin to heat up hers.
Mary-Ann gasped and hanged her head. It made it harder for him to hear her voice and he lifted it up with a hand high up on her throat. Her hand came up on his side and scratched him hard as he rocked into her again. The sweet gasp that left her lips was like an order to do it again. His free hand moved to her waist and he gripped it hard, feeling her breaths and trembles directly against his fingertips. Her hand moved down and he felt her tug his boxers down.
He didn't mind, he really didn't mind that at all.
Ren's hand moved over her hip to the simple black hipsters and slid his hand between the fabric and her skin. He shifted his hips backward a fraction and pulled them over the swell of her behind. As her hand still tugged at his boxers, she succeeded in pulling them down. He only waited a moment to let them reach his thigh before his hand moved down between them.
His hand only found another layer of fabric and his mind quickly remembered that it wasn't real. Justin took the front again and his hips trusted forward and Mary-Ann's voice broke into a pained whimper. Justin fitted himself flush against her legs and then used the hand on her throat to pull her up. She braced herself on one hand on the counter and the other one reached back to grip his hip. Their breaths synced and her head bumped back on his shoulder.
Justin made a small but forceful thrust and Mary-Ann trembled and gasped.
She kept her head up and he moved his hand up to her lips. He couldn't kiss her but he wanted to feel the heat from her mouth and prevent it from closing. He wanted every sound out of her body to feed his primal need.
His next thrust lifted her slightly up and she trembled against his frame.
"Annnnd cut. Cover please." Kurosaki's voice brought Ren back to the surface and his hips twitched once more before he tensed. Two people with blankets moved up on their sides and held them high to provide them cover as they dressed again.
Ren's gaze traced her back and over the swell of her behind before he quickly bent down to pull up his boxers and jeans. He was straining the poor fabric that covered his private parts and he hid it as soon as he could to spare Kyoko from the sight.
He fastened the button before he realised that she hadn't moved.
"Kyoko?" He asked and saw her flinch slightly and then quickly jump down and pull her hipsters back up. As she moved again, he reached down and picked up her pants. He pulled the legs the right way and then held them out for her.
"Thank you." She glanced under her fringe but quickly moved to pull them on without letting him see her face.
'She is embarrassed.' He thought and a feeling of fear rose in his chest as he couldn't help thinking that she might have been appalled with his reaction.
Ren groaned in frustration over himself and saw her jump high from the corner of his eye. The fear spiked and he turned his back towards her to give her room.
"I-I'm done." Kyoko said and both blankets lowered. He didn't dare to turn around and sought out the director instead.
He found him watching the screens with his forehead wrinkled in deep lines of concentration.
Ren could feel someone move up to his side and he steeled himself to keep still. He felt her heat against his elbow and then the back of her hand that lightly touched the outside of his thigh.
He couldn't help it. He looked down and saw her bright red ears and her downcast face. His heart jumped and his whole body tensed. He watched her closely as she tilted her head slightly and he could see her eyes zero in around his zipper.
Confusion and shock filled him as she examined him closely. He saw her tense up and her little mouth dropped before the colour on her face turned scarlet and she quickly glanced down on the floor again.
'She knows. She felt it.' Justin snickered with humour in his head and Ren lifted his head up towards the ceiling and pulled a deep breath.
He felt dirty. The girl by his side had barely any experience and he had pushed his dirty feelings onto her, literally.
Kurosaki moved from the screen and walked up to them with a slightly thoughtful expression.
"Good work, both of you. But I think we have to do one more take." He said and both actors turned their eyes to him.
"Kyoko-san, I need darker expressions on your face. This felt a bit too sensual. I want more animalistic wants. So, look a bit more pained as he… pushes inside. And a bit more primal." Kurosaki at least had the decency to look embarrassed.
"Tsuruga-san. You tensed up a few times. It's not bad, but I want you to be less hesitant. Your drive for her will overpower everything else, you can't look like you are careful of her feelings then." Kurosaki smirked. "Let the gentleman go, for now."
Ren wanted to laugh out loud. It was only when he had taken over and when he had awoken that he had tensed. He wanted to hit himself hard in the face. He had either underestimated his own desire or he had overestimated his acting skills. If he couldn't even trust himself with finishing one short scene, both alternatives were probably true.
'There are a few good things about this at least.' Justin provided and Ren clenched his fist to be ready to plunge it into his face. 'At least Yashiro isn't here to laugh at us.'
'And she should have learned that you have been serious about your desire for her.' Cain finished and Ren relaxed his fist and glanced down on his co-actor. Her face had returned to normal except the nervous nibble on her lower lip.
"Are you ready to go again?" Kurosaki asked and Ren threw in the towel. A break would probably not help him in the least. Better to get it over with. He opened his mouth to answer but Kyoko beat him to it.
"I could use a five-minute break." She said and Kurosaki nodded. Ren frowned and glanced down on her. Her breathing hadn't levelled yet. He began to worry about her but she quickly bowed and slipped out into the hallway.
.
.
.
Kyoko ran up the stairs and found an empty room and quickly closed the door. She was careful about the makeup but crumbled on the floor.
She had felt it. The edge.
She wished she had her phone with her. She needed help. Something to bring her back.
She pulled a few breaths and found that it didn't help. The silence and her heavy breaths only brought back the feelings that got her into trouble in the first place.
"Kyoko?" A soft voice came from the other side of the door and a hesitant knock sounded next. She recognised him immediately.
"Yes?" She heard herself ask with a shaky voice.
"Are you okay?" Ren's worried voice sent her heart bouncing again.
"Yes… or maybe." She couldn't lie to him but she couldn't talk about it as it surely wouldn't help. "Could you tell me a story?" She asked instead. Ren didn't answer for a while and she feared she had weirded him out but then heard a cough and his confused but compliant voice.
"Did you know that Yashiro loves dogs?" He asked and Kyoko lifted her head towards the door. The comment made her smile, this was what she needed.
"No." She said and she could see his shadow under the door shift.
"He likes Shibas in particular. I think he had one as he grew up. I have known for a while but somehow it got out. It's not a topic that comes up regularly so you could guess his surprise when he received over twenty small plush animals on valentine's day." Ren chuckled but Kyoko gasped.
She could clearly feel the kiss he had placed on her cheek that day. How confused she had felt, and thinking about it, she had heard several locks opening then. How much had changed since then. The box was wide open and her lips still tingled from the warmth he had transferred to her just a few moments ago. The molten liquid in her stomach took off again and was rolling like a stormy sea.
She whimpered as the feelings burned inside of her.
"Kyoko, are you alright?" Ren's worried voice travelled through the door and Kyoko dug her nails into the floor. She didn't dare to answer but tried to force her mind back on track.
'Time is up. We need to move.' Mary-Ann said slowly and her host shivered. Her state hadn't turned better, rather the prolonged exposure had made her impatient.
For what, she wasn't sure but her body knew that the man outside had the answer. Kyoko shook her head hard and pulled a few breaths.
"Kyoko?" Ren sounded close and she could see his shadow in front of the door.
"I'm on my way." She said weakly and climbed back up on her feet. She couldn't abandon her role. She calmed her heart to the best of her ability and opened the door. Ren stood at the other side with his face warped with concern.
"What's wrong?" He asked and she swallowed.
She wanted to say "Nothing." But he knew her too well to fall for that.
"I needed a moment to gather my thoughts." She said and as it technically wasn't a lie, she met his eyes straight on. The worry and care that coloured his face made her knees weak but she forced them to keep straight.
"Did it help?" He asked slowly.
"Somewhat." She smiled and caught sight of Mika that stood at the bottom of the stairs to her right and that she glanced on her clock. Time was up.
"We should head back." Kyoko smiled and Ren stared at her face like he needed to solve a puzzle but he seemed satisfied with what he saw.
"Lets." He gestured for her to walk in front of him.
.
.
.
His fear had killed everything else in his body. She had locked herself up in a room and her voice had shook when he spoke to her.
He tried to find something harmless to speak with her about but she hadn't reacted like he had hoped. The fear held his throat in a chokehold and he wanted nothing more than to run into the room and hold her until it whatever troubled her passed.
She finally emerged and he let a long shaky breath go when she met his eyes straight on.
'I haven't destroyed everything at least.' Ren sighed and his shoulders relaxed even if his eyes sought her face for distress or fear.
He found some tension but not more than before the scene.
'Maybe, she didn't notice.'
'Maybe pigs fly?' Justin chuckled inside his head and Cain rolled his eyes.
Ren followed her down the stairs and saw that Kyoko spoke to the director shortly before she turned towards him again.
"Ready?" She asked and Ren blinked and glanced around. Everyone was in their place except him and he quickly gathered his thoughts and nodded.
"Ready when you are." He said and had to hold back the tremble when she walked up to him with firm steps and then jumped into his arms.
.
.
Fire. Heat.
'Desire.' Kyoko gasped for air as she stole his lips and took them between her own.
'How can just his lips make me feel this much?' She gasped and pulled his naked shoulders closer. The cold marble almost made her scream out but she didn't want to give the man too many clues about how much fire he had lit in her body. The cold water washed over her shoulder and she arched her back as it was too much with the marble. A pained twitch of her brows made him move and she pulled him closer with her legs.
He needed to hurry, she needed to feel more of his warm skin to fight the cold.
Hot lips and ungentle teeth nipped over her stomach and she fisted her hand in his hair. Too slow. He had to hurry.
She wiggled against him and his hands found her hips and finally landed on the button on her pants. A low impatient whine left her lips and he quickly moved his burning hands down her legs and she relaxed her grip of his waist to allow him to pull the pants off.
A low grunt left him as he could feel the tension in her legs and he pulled her closer again. His hands gripped her waist and a few of his fingers even slipped between the fabric of her panties and the skin that begged to be touched.
She hungrily sought his lips again and gripped his waist to feel the hard muscle tremble under her touch. She wasn't gentle but almost kneaded the skin and made his breath hitch as she stole his air. She wanted every sound out of him to slip over her tongue and tasted the sweet whine as she flipped the button of his pants open.
The fabric scratched her stomach and she quickly pushed it downwards to get it out of the way.
She savoured the pant that rolled over his tongue and knew that she had taken as much as he was willing to give her. His hands tensed on her hips and she let herself be turned around. A hand braced on the marble and the other sought his hip. He met her halfway and something warm pushed against her behind. She ordered her face to not let him know how close she was as she wanted him to do more. A warm hand found her throat and lifted her head up. She knew he wouldn't be able to see her expression and she gripped his hip harder and squeezed to let him know that he had to continue.
Cold air met her hip as he pushed her panties down and she clawed at his boxers until his warm hips could melt together with hers.
His warm hand stroked the back of her leg until it reached the hardness that rested between them. His hand moved down and she scratched his side to make him move.
His hand on her throat stroked her slightly like it waited for something and then he snapped their hips together.
A pained whimper left her as the counter bit into her hip bones. His hands slipped up to her mouth and two fingers rested against her lower lip as he moved again. She whined again as the cool marble left marks on her skin. His other hand found her waist and as he pulled her back a bit, the thrust hit right. There was a pulsating mass in her lower stomach that shifted when he rocked into her and the feeling sent a jolt into her brain that left it useless. Trembles travelled over her whole body and she got up on her toes to angle her even more. The pace was perfect, short, and wanting and the trembles never stopped.
Kyoko leaned back until her head landed on his shoulder. It changed the angle some but as she could hear his gasp and groans it was better. She dug her nails into his hip again and she was rewarded with a thick grunt and another thrust.
The fire was burning away every worry in her body and she just did what she wanted. His hand left her mouth and moved south. He gripped her shoulder and the next thrust used her spine to transfer the explosive force into her head. The thing in her lower stomach tingled and the edge moved closer with every thrust. Her hand slipped over his hip and back, feeling the firm muscles move before…
"And cut. Cover please!" Kurosaki's voice cut the tension like a string and Kyoko gasped out loud.
"Are you okay?" Ren's voice whispered in her ear and another tremble shook her body. She really didn't want to leave his heated skin and relaxed against him for a fraction of a moment. She could feel him slowly tense up and she pulled back her hand slowly. Ren trembled again and something twitched between them.
Her hips pushed back in response and a sound left her lips before he suddenly was gone. Kyoko crumbled to the floor as her support disappeared and she gasped again as something had begun to pull her attention from the depths of her head.
Kyoko fought the fog for a few moments. There was something she needed to do...
"Kyoko?" Mika's voice came from the side and Kyoko lifted her head towards it.
'Mika? oh… Acting. I'm on set.' Kyoko slowly blinked as her face turned a bright scarlet.
Kyoko quickly got back up on shaky legs and pulled her clothes back on. Her trembling hands fought with the button but finally managed to close them.
"Done." Kyoko said and Mika nodded and the blankets lowered on both sides.
"That was perfect Kyoko!" Kurosaki beamed her way and he laughed when he saw her bright red expression. "That was just the right expression and desire. Ren, you too!" Kurosaki grinned and clapped his hands.
"That's it for tonight folks. We have a full schedule for tomorrow, so everyone that can should go to bed early." Kurosaki turned around and addressed the whole team. Kyoko followed his gaze but soon lowered it when she saw as many amused as tensed faces aimed towards her.
The only face that wasn't turned towards her was the one she most wanted to see. Ren was completely dressed again and stood a few paces away. He was turned towards the hallway and she could read the tension in his shoulders.
"Kyoko, here." Mika said to her side and handed her a robe to cover herself up.
"Good night everyone!" Kurosaki said and Kyoko could only watch when Ren walked out without a single look her way.

Ren made sure the lock between their rooms was in place before he opened the door to the balcony and crumbled against the wall beside it. He kicked off his shoes and pulled the shirt over his head. Nothing was allowed to touch him except the wall against his back and the floor beneath his legs.
Almost everything tingled, his hand that had stroked the back of her thigh, his stomach that had felt her soft skin, his mouth - where she had hungrily eaten his every sound. No shower would be able to calm the feelings in his body and nothing could erase the never-ending memories of her every whimper, tremble, or scrape of nails over his skin. And absolutely nothing could hinder the memory of her last little gasp where his name once again had been hidden in her exhale.
.
.

Kyoko paced in front of the door that separated their rooms with a deep frown on her brows. She had knocked, called his phone, and even asked the front desk if they had seen him. Everything pointed to him being inside his room, ignoring her calls. She had even walked out on her balcony in a try to see him, his door had been open but there was no sign of the man.
She glanced on the clock on her nightstand and it turned to eleven before her sight. Her options were out and she could only think of one more thing to try.
She did a quick calculation and pulled out her phone. Three signals sounded before a sleepy voice answered.
"Daughter!" Kuu managed to sound both happy and tired and Kyoko forced herself to not apologize as she knew it would only make him lecture her.
"Hello father." She glanced at the door and then moved to her sofa to be able to watch it but also make it harder to hear the conversation if Ren was close.
"Is something wrong?" Kuu asked as he heard her tone and Kyoko frowned.
"I don't know. Ren… he has locked himself in his room and isn't answering my calls. He seemed tense when I last saw him so I can't help but worry."
"That boy!" Another voice joined the call and Kyoko gasped in shock.
"Mom, what are you doing awake now?" Kyoko did the math again and it couldn't be more than 6 am where she was.
"I heard the ringtone for one of my babies. I couldn't sleep then." Julie said matter-of-factly and Kyoko's smile grew warm. "Now what happened?"
"We had our first day of shooting." Kyoko said and then explained everything that had happened. They listened closely on the other end.
"Then he suddenly jumped away from me and didn't look at me once. Now he hasn't left the room, eaten dinner or anything." Kyoko felt the worry grow in her chest and glanced on the door again. The larger circle still showed red and she bit her lip.
A gleeful chuckle travelled through the phone and Kyoko had to listen for a moment before she realized it was Julie.
"Did something poke you a lot during that scene?" Julie asked and Kyoko burned red as her mind quickly delivered the answer. She choked on the air and Julie's chuckle sounded again. "Well?"
"Y-yes." Kyoko stammered and Julie laughed out loud.
"Dear, please don't laugh like that. Feel sorry for the poor boy." Kuu tried to calm his wife down but Kyoko could hear the humour in his voice too.
"Don't worry Kyoko. He is probably just cleaning up his sticky socks by now." Julie said as Kuu gasped in horror. Kyoko had no idea why that sentence made sense to her father but she calmed down when Julie didn't seem worried.
"The hotel provides both cleaning and laundry." Kyoko said and she could hear their reactions through the phone. Both whined in pity.
"Ohh Kyoko dear." Julie said with a surprised voice and Kuu coughed a bit in the background.
"Bottom line is, you don't have to worry about him, Kyoko. He will be back soon and act like normal." Kuu said calmly and Julie chuckled again.
"And if he doesn't, know that it is completely your fault in a good way. Be confident." Julie said and Kyoko frowned.
"How can it be my fault in a good way?" Kyoko asked and the silence spread on the other end until she heard two sighs.
"I'm leaving this to you. I had the talk the last time." Kuu said and Julie snorted.
"Of course. This is a mother-daughter talk." Julie sounded like she was climbing out of bed and Kyoko felt the colour climb on her cheeks. She could guess the topic and she didn't know if she was ready for it.
"Now then, Kyoko-dear. Tell Mom, have you ever had an orgasm?" Julie asked suddenly and Kyoko crumpled on the sofa with a scarlet blush burning her face.
"Almost."
"Almost?"
"I felt the edge today. During the scene." Kyoko's voice was barely a whisper and she pushed down every thought that she was talking to his mother.
"Did you feel it as yourself or your character?" Julie asked and Kyoko whined long and hard. "Come on Kyoko dear. I just need to know how much you know and then I will erase every gap in your knowledge after that. Including sticky socks." Kyoko could hear her grin and pulled a long breath to calm herself.
"In the beginning as my character. But mostly as myself." Kyoko confessed and she could hear a happy giggle on the other end before Julie began the longest, most embarrassing conversation of her life. Kyoko however listened to every word as it would be useful, and also because a growing part of her really wanted to know.
.

Ren glanced on the door between their rooms with cold water dripping from his hair. The time was closing in on midnight but he could still hear Kyoko's muffled voice speaking on the other side.
He lifted the phone in his hand to his face and scrolled through the log with embarrassment.
He had five missed calls from Kyoko and one call from a number he hadn't saved but knew who it belonged to.
'Dad.' Ren thought and frowned. It was the first time in six years that the man had called him first. Ren glanced at the door but still heard Kyoko's voice speaking with someone. Ren sighed and pressed recall on his father. Only one signal sounded before his father answered.
"Kuon!" Kuu happily greeted and Ren felt his soul shiver in delight. It was a long time since his father had said his name like that. A smile grew on his lips and he turned away from the door.
"Good morning, Father." Kuon said and a moment of happy silence warmed them both before Kuon continued. "Has something happened?"
"Other than you hiding from Kyoko, making her worry about you? Not that I'm aware of." Kuu said and a lecturing tone had entered his father's voice. Ren frowned for a moment and then gasped.
"She called you?" He snapped his head up and felt his eyes widen.
'If I'm talking to my Father… Kyoko is probably talking to Mother!'
"Of course she did. I know you are a man and that you have feelings towards Kyoko, but you can't expect her to know what to do when you poke her with your stick and then disappear on her."
'My… stick?'
"My what?" Kuon asked but immediately knew what he talked about.
"Your stick." Kuu said firmly and Kuon felt the full body blush burn his previously cold skin.
"Oh my god! Is Mom talking with Kyoko about that right now?" Kuon flipped around and stared at the door like if it would go up in flames at any moment.
"Kuon, by the way your mother is grinning, I suspect that Kyoko doesn't have much experience." Kuon closed his eyes as his body suffocated under the embarrassment. "As a man, I know it can be hard to… well, to hide your desire. But it sounded like a difficult scene for Kyoko and she now feels like you were somehow disappointed in her."
"Disappointed?" Kuon gasped and had to stop himself from tearing down the door that separated him from Kyoko to directly run in and crush that thought. He stopped just in front of the door when he heard Kyoko loudly gasp. Kuon pulled a breath and turned to his phone again. "She did the scene perfectly. She even led me in the act by her actions."
"Well, that's my daughter. You should have expected it, so why did you avoid her after?"
"Because I thought she acted but her last gasp said MY NAME." Kuon growled into the phone through clenched teeth. "I asked her a question right before so she was maybe just answering it but the way she said it…" Kuon dragged his hand over his face in a try to rub the memory away.
Kuu was silent for a moment and then began to laugh.
"Julie! You need to hear this!" Kuu laughed and Kuon felt his stomach drop though the floor.
"Don't you dare…" Kuon whispered but already heard the couple chatter in the background.
He had enough. Kuon turned the lock on the slide door and ran into Kyoko's room without hesitation. He immediately caught sight of her on the sofa and found her looking like a deer staring into headlights. He had no time to stop as he saw the phone she had pressed to her ear.
He was halfway to her when Kyoko suddenly snapped her attention to the phone again. Her eyes widened and Kuon quickly took the last steps and ripped it out of her hands.
"Mom!" He growled into it and heard her jolly laugh from the other end.
"Hello darling." Julie said with far too much glee for his liking. "Like I said to Kyoko, I'm completely fine with waiting a few years for grandchildren. Use protection!" Kuon dropped the phone from his ear in mortification and then flinched when he realised that Kyoko had gotten up and stood directly in front of him. His scarlet face met hers and they both froze for a moment.
Kyoko gathered her wits first and gestured towards the phone.
"Can I say goodbye?" She asked and nibbled her lip nervously. Kuon flinched awake and hesitated for a moment. He put the phone to his ear again and heard the ridiculous couple snickering together on the other end.
"Mom, Dad. Kyoko needs to sleep. If you behave, I will let you say goodbye." Kuon said with a tension in his voice that let them know he only needed one wrong word from them to snap.
"Of course. Put us on speaker." Kuu said and even if Kuon still could hear the humour in his voice he knew that his father would behave. He pushed the button for the speaker and held the phone between them. Kyoko moved to grab it but Kuon shook his head.
"Don't worry, Kyoko. And know that you are welcome to call me anytime." Julie said and Kuon saw Kyoko's face soften.
"I will. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Father." She said and Kuon pulled a steadying breath.
"Good night." He said and Kyoko peeked his way. He twitched her a small smile and her shoulders relaxed.
"Good night, son." They both said at the same time. "Call us soon." Julie added and Kuon twitched a real smile. "Preferably with good ne.."
"MOM!" Kuon growled and Kyoko jumped high from his loud voice. He felt a bit regretful but his mother's words would not make it easier for him to get through the conversation he needed with Kyoko.
"Hihi. Good night." Julie giggled and Kuon ended the call before they managed to further embarrass him.
The two actors stood still and only glanced on the phone in Kuon's hand as they waited for the other to begin. He could feel her eyes scan his body from his wet hair to his pyjamas to his naked feet.
"Are you alright?" Kuon asked and Kyoko jumped again. She flipped her eyes to his and he held them hostage to make sure she spoke the truth.
"A bit confused. But otherwise, okay." Kyoko said and Kuon frowned.
'Confused? What did that woman tell her?!'
"How about you, Ren?" Kyoko asked and Kuon nodded.
"Embarrassed beyond words but otherwise okay." He confessed and saw her tilt her head in confusion.
"Embarrassed? About what?" Kyoko asked and Kuon pulled a deep breath.
"About my behaviour today. And that I got lectured by my father for the first time in years. I had forgotten how that felt." Kuon chuckled and Kyoko's face warmed up.
"I'm sorry. I got worried when I couldn't reach you and I thought I had done something wrong. I called them for advice. I had no idea he would call you." Kyoko said and Kuon relaxed his stance.
'Wait a minute.' He snapped his head down to the phone in his other hand. The call was still ongoing.
"GOOD NIGHT." He growled into it and heard two 'Woops!' before the call ended from their side.
Kyoko stared surprised when the screen on Ren's phone turned black.
"Now you know why they are such good friends with the President." Kuon growled irritated and put the phone into his pocket before he handed Kyoko hers. A strange sound came from her when she glanced on her own black screen and he turned to watch her.
The smile grew on her face and it didn't take long before both laughed until their stomachs hurt. The tension and embarrassment had been too much for them both and they subconsciously let it out with their laughter. Ren collapsed into one of the sofas and Kyoko sat back on her own as it slowly ebbed out. The air was soft to start with but tension soon began to build again and Ren sighed.
"You did nothing wrong, Kyoko." Ren said and she turned towards him. "The opposite, in fact. You led me in the act and I have no doubt that you made us pass."
"What?! No, that can't be true!" Kyoko gasped and Ren shook his head.
"You pulled every reaction from me." Ren said and sighed.
'It only took some kisses and those sweet sounds from her to forget my fears again.' Ren thought and glanced at her. She was tired, but her eyes still held worry and he could see that she hadn't gasped the full meaning of his words yet.
'Will she run and hide?' Some part of him asked and he held his eyes on her to get a moment's warning if that happened. Kyoko gaped and closed her mouth twice.
"If that is true. I understand that you feel embarrassed. A newbie like me being able to do that…. It had to have been some kind of fluke." Kyoko said and Ren groaned out loud.
"What?" He couldn't help but ask as her mind once again had taken a completely wrong turn somewhere.
'How is her brain wired?'
'Ease her into it then.' Justin provided and Ren could only feel pity from the man. This was it. He had to get her to understand or it would always bother their relationship. He couldn't act like he was embarrassed that she had bested him. It would forever hinder her in their acting and her confidence would not get the lift that it needed.
'I can confess this. For her.' Ren steeled his resolve and clenched his hands.
"Kyoko. I'm not embarrassed about that!" Ren moved closer to her to let her read his face and expressions clearly. "Do you remember when I led you to act?" He asked and her face twisted into a small smile.
.
.
'How can I forget?' Kyoko thought and pictured the poster of Ren in her bedroom at the Darumaya. How many times had she not remembered what had happened then? It had been the motivation for why she wanted to be an actor.
"The mission with Ruriko." Kyoko said simply and Ren nodded.
"You had no acting experience then. How did I make you act like I wanted?" Ren asked and Kyoko turned to watch him.
"By provoking me." Kyoko remembered how he had glanced at her over the cup of tea and how she had felt that she needed to fight back.
"I provoked your real feelings." Ren said and there was some sort of point he wanted to deliver with those words that she didn't get yet. However, something trembled in her chest as some part of her were closing in on what he wanted to say.
He seemed to notice that she needed more and sighed again.
"I knew how you felt about me. I hadn't given you any reason to trust or like me then. I knew you would fight if I started it." Ren said slowly like to let her weigh every word. "That was how I led you then. By exposing Kyoko's feelings. The way I provoked you would only work between you and me." Ren said as he held her eyes firmly.
'What does he want me to understand?' Kyoko thought and the characters in her head all sighed.
'He just told you how he led you into acting. After he told you that you had done it to him.' Setsuka said slowly to let her understand and Natsu groaned out loud.
'Be nice girls.' Mary-Ann said and turned to her host. 'What kind of scene did we just do?'
'A sexual scene.' Kyoko said matter of factly and Mary-Ann nodded.
'You made him act the way he needed to. How?'
'I didn't!'
'Okay but say that if you did. How were you able to do that?'
'By making him expose his real feelings.'
'Yes! For you it was anger and surprise, for him it was…'
'Desire…' Kyoko's eyes widened as the thought passed through her mind like a meteorite. Every character lifted their heads to watch the orb of fire that suddenly moved through their mind. The long tail stretched out in front of them and left fire in its path. It seemed too big and fast, like it would burn a hole straight through everything.
'Playb…'
'He said it only would work between you two!' Mary-Ann quickly said and the burning globe suddenly turned around and heavily impacted in front of Kyoko. The characters quickly jumped out of the way but Kyoko stayed still, staring at it with shock.
'You know he sees you as a woman!' Setsu called out over the roar from the burning rock.
'You even considered him liking you yesterday!' Natsu yelled as she coughed from the smoke that quickly began to fill their mind. Kyoko stared at the new thought that had made a mess of her mind with unseeing eyes.
'No… It can't… Not just me… '
'Be grateful. The one YOU want, wants you. That's more than some get.' Momoji snorted and even if her voice barely reached normal conversation level, it filled Kyoko's ears and the rock suddenly calmed down.
'He wants me?' Kyoko echoed with wide eyes as the flames slowly burned out.
Mary-Ann couldn't help the smile from growing on her lips when the fire and smoke dimmed and the rocks surface began to shine through. It was still murky but there were a few cracks that showed the core. A core clear and bright like a diamond.
Kyoko found her head turned towards her hands and snapped it up to him again. Her mouth gaped open and no sound left her lips.
She could see Ren twitch a complicated smile her way.
"I'm not a playboy. It would only work between you and me." He repeated Mary-Ann's words and Kyoko blinked. Ren sighed when her expression didn't change and hanged his head.
"I was embarrassed because I didn't act Justin at all. I was just me." Ren said and groaned. His eyes lit up with an ember and he turned towards her again.
"I can't hide my feelings anymore." Ren chuckled and clenched his hands. "I don't expect anything from you. But I don't want to scare you anymore. Even if this scares ME to death, I need you to know. And it's not only desire. It's so much more… I lo…" Ren choked and Kyoko saw the fear clearly in his eyes. A shiver travelled his body but he then clenched his hands again and met her eyes with a firm determination. "You are very precious to me."
The meteorite stopped smoking and instead began to shine brightly in their mind. Mary-Ann happily threw herself into the light while the rest of the characters backed up. Only Kyoko stayed as she read his body language and the unspoken words grew clear for her. Kyoko slowly leaned forward and carefully placed her hands on the rocks surface.
Kyoko blinked and closed her mouth to moisten her lips.
"I'm not scared. You are very precious to me too, Ren." Kyoko finally found her voice. Ren exhaled shakingly and smiled brightly her way. He opened his mouth again but then closed it with a slight shake of his head.
'Come on! Tell her for real!' Mary-Ann called out towards Ren.
'No, this is fine.' Kyoko smiled and carefully wiped away some of the dust that remained on the stone.
The tension in the room slowly melted away and a slight blush grew on both their faces.
"It's late." Ren finally said and Kyoko glanced towards the clock on her nightstand before she nodded. Ren opened his mouth again but closed it quickly and instead got up his feet. She wasn't certain her knees would hold her weight if she stood up but she decided to test as he peeked over his shoulder for her reaction.
She followed him to the door until he turned around. Ren's smile grew brighter as he met her eyes. The blush flamed to life on her cheeks and Ren chuckled embarrassed while he scratched his neck.
"I still haven't asked my question today." He said and Mary-Ann gasped.
'No, wait. THAT question? He couldn't even confess what he really feels for you but wants you to tell him? No way! Lie, Kyoko!' Mary-Ann grumbled bitterly and Kyoko could only laugh at her.
'He took the first step. I can take the next one if he asks me. I will be honest too.' Kyoko smiled towards Mary-Ann across the shining rock and the married woman snorted and rolled her eyes.
'Fine!' She grumbled but Kyoko could feel the happiness inside of her already.
"Sure, give me the question." Kyoko swallowed her trembling heart to be able to speak soon again.
Ren smiled and reached out his hand to her face. She leaned into it and he carefully stroked her cheek with warm eyes.
"Did you… fall in love with me today?" He asked and every character in Kyoko's head stilled before they burst out laughing.
'Today? It has been a year almost. You stupid…' Mary-Ann laughed while she rolled over the stone, holding her stomach.
"No." Kyoko said honestly and smiled warmly towards him. He could see that it was the truth and a small frown crossed his brow before he sighed and smiled brightly towards her again.
"I will ask you tomorrow again." He said and Kyoko couldn't help the smirk on her lips.
"You might want to change the question." She said and he pouted.
"Let a man have hope." He reached down and placed a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth. Kyoko sighed into it and had to force her eyes open when she felt him back away. "Good night, Kyoko."
….. Extra funny scene….
Kyoko nodded and a mischievous smile grew on her lips. The conversation with her mom had been embarrassing, but also very educational. She leaned through the opening and glanced around his room. Ren tilted away to allow her and she hummed before she returned to her side.
"Looking for something?" Ren asked and glanced around the room too.
"Mom said that I shouldn't have worried when you didn't answer before and that you were probably busy with sticky socks. I just wondered if there were any." Kyoko faked an innocent smile and had the pleasure to see Ren's face twist in confusion and then horror. The bright red colour began at his cheeks but soon spread over every visible part of his skin. Even his hands got some colour to them and his breathing turned jagged and forced.
"Good night, Ren." Kyoko grinned and pulled the door between them before he gathered his wit. She barely held back her laugh at his expression as the door separated them. She stayed still and heard him gasp for air and then curse in English for a long time. His voice moved away from the door and she glanced down on the locks. A confused but happy giggle slipped her as both indicators were left on green.
