Well I took more than I expected to finish this chapter (four years since I started to write this story, hmm a lot of things chance in fours years. Don't you thing?), and I'm very sorry, the work can be very demanding, and the only time you have for yourself, you expended with the family or friends, sorry, but I will, and I mean it, I will finish this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

The Game

Chapter V: With a smell of Strawberries and Champagne

What a day, full with meetings and conferences, and the worst part of the day was that Wheeler's sister wasn't in his room anymore, today her roommate was suppose to return to the apartment, "Things are going to be very boring from today " kaiba thought, then something on the street caught his attention "Stop here!!!" he ordered to the driver.

The first droops announced the heavy rain that was going to fall "Just what I needed" said Serenity to herself, her roommate hasn't appeared in the day, and there she was, standing alone with her luggage in front of the door of the building when suddenly the rain started to fall "My God!!!... Taxi!!!!!" she screamed but the yellow car didn't stooped "Please!" another taxi was crossing she made the signal and… well it didn't stop "What's wrong with this people!" she started to run to coffee shop that she saw earlier in that day, but her luggage was slowing her down, then she saw another taxi "Please God, make it stop" she thought and with a little hope she wave her hand to the taxi and… finally.

Once inside the taxi she noted how soaked she was "I'm soaking wet..." she thought "And freezing"

"So little miss, where do you want to go?" asked the taxi driver.

Well that was something that she didn't think about "umm, please take me to…"

"So, tomorrow is the tour of the plant" Kaiba was talking on his cell "Okay, I will see that for myself" he was starting to get a little annoyed at this person "Look… there is no way that I'm going to change my schedule for tomorrow, I'm going to see that plant, no matter what, and this is the end of this conversation" kaiba said and then hung up "Little piece of crap, who did he think he was talking to? His mother" that was the problem with these kind of people, always trying to hide problems but never trying to resolve them, how pathetic, Kaiba closed his eyes, memories of the last night came back to him, the dinner that they share was a quite one, nobody said a word after that kiss… "That kiss..." a small smile came to his lips and stared to the item that was beside him.

Later that night, Kaiba was already on his suite, sitting on the chair that was in front of the window, with a glass of whiskey in one hand and a cigar on the other, how quiet he felt the room all of the sudden, he already missed Wheeler's little chatting, her voice was something that relaxed him, how funny, somebody that he knew for some little time had a great effect on him "What's wrong with me?" he asked to himself, suddenly he heard a soft knocking on his door, that was strange, he didn't expect any visit, with a sigh he got up and headed to the door , and what a surprise he took when he opened the door, in front of him was a very wet and trembling Serenity Wheeler "What happened to you?" he asked coldly.

Serenity smiled shyly "Well..." she said softly "My roommate hasn't come back"

Kaiba stared her "I see" then there was a moment of silence both of them was staring at each other "Come in, you must be freezing" he said.

"Thanks" was all she could say.

He noted the way she was soaked "She could catch a cold" he thought "You should change your clothes" he told her, trying to not sound worry.

Serenity nodded and headed to the room, and then she noted that her luggage was soaked "I think all my clothes are wet to"

"Well I think you can use mine" he said simply "Search in the drawers"

Her first reaction was to say no, but again Seto Kaiba was a very stubborn person and he will not going to take a no for an answer "Okay" was the only thing she could answer "Thank you, Kaiba"

"You're welcome" he said looking the way she walked to the room, in the moment she closed the door, a small smile formed on his lips.

Ten minutes later, Kaiba was sitting on his favorite chair, looking to the lights of the city in this rainy night, from there everything looked so calm and peacefull, listening music and drinking a good glass of whiskey, how he enjoyed the simples pleasures of life, the stereo was playing "Don´t you forget about me" of Simple Minds, the cigar was almost over and the glass on his hand was empty, he was really relaxed, but there was something more that makes him felt this good and this something was the small woman that was with him. Then he felt a small hand on his shoulder, he turned his head to see her and... "God... she is beautiful" he thought, his eyes just coldn't stop looking at her, she was wearing only one of his Italian white long sleeve shirts and pair of white soxs, with her face all blushed, and that soft smell, she always smell like that, strawberrys and champagne.

"Thanks for the clothes" she said feeling embaresed for his continuos staring.

Making a great effort, he took his eyes from her and watched again the window in silence.

"You really like this view, don't you?" she asked, taking her hand of his shoulder.

He stayed in silence a moment "Yes" answered simply and already missing the touch of her hand in his shouder "Can you please turn off the stereo?" he asked sudenly.

She moved to the stereo and turned it off, then she looked back and saw him walking out of the room "Wait here" he said, then a few moments later he entered the room carring something that looked like a suitcase, but Serenity already knew what was.

"Oh my God!!!" she said "Don´t tell me, that you.."

Kaiba gave her the saxophone "Play it for me" he told her.

She couldn't say no, again those blue eyes, she just couldn't, she nodded with her head and then seated on a chair next to her while Kaiba seated on his, she tooked the saxophone out of the case and stared him one more time, then she started to play.

Kaiba felt like he was on a dream, there she was, playing this sad and yet sensual song that makes him felt like his soul was crying; just wearing one his shirts and her eyes closed, she looked so fragile, so irreal, like everything was on slow motion. He knew a lot of beautiful women on his life, singers, models, actress, duelists, every kind, but they didn´t have her inocent beauty and the stare that make him want to be a better person. Did she actually know what she was doing to him? Did she know how beautiful she was? Did she know how hard he was trying to be a gentleman? All this kind of thoughts cross his mind as she played that song that will haunt his dreams for the rest of his life. Sudenly the need for her was to much, fuck the common sence, fuck her brother, fuck the world, he needed to hold her, to get lost in her eyes, breath her aroma, drown in her lips, feel her skin, he never thought of need somebody the way he needed her. And so, he stood up and walked to her.

She was playing her favorite song, eyes still closed when she felt how slowly the saxophone was taken from her, she opened her eyes and stare at his blue eyes, without knowing why she stood up and without a warning he kiss her and she kiss him back, in that moment the world ceased to move, she didn't care if he was playing with her, she didn't care if her brother didn't like him, the only thing that she wanted now was to hold him, to kiss him and the most important thing was that she wanted him to be her first.

Kaiba was drowning on the kiss, she tasted so sweet, her lips were so soft, her smell, strawberries and champagne, "Your smell, I love your smell" he murmured on her ear.

"Then I'll never change my body lotion scent" she answered, lost on the feeling of her body pressed against his.

"Never" he said while he was kissing her neck. The softness of her skin was intoxicating the more he touched her the more he wanted to explore her; so without asking permission he started to unbutton the white silk shirt, revealing white skin and white underwear and when the last button popped free he touched her chest with his fingers and slid his hand down her front, between her breast and over her stomach. She shivered, and swallowed, but she kept her eyes looked on his faced "This it's just sex" he said seriously "We are not making any promises or attachments, but believe me, I want to do this. I can't promise more than that"

She paused and he waited, leaving the shirt to hang loose. He stood silent, touching her hair now and again, waiting for a response.

"I already know, what I'm doing. And I know that this it's just a game, and like any other game it has rules, and I'm willing to play it" she said, more serious in her tone, but not cripplingly sober.

"Good" he said. He smiled and took her in his arms, taking her to the bedroom.

And like everything in his life he showed her what it meant to be completely thorough. First he took his time with the foreplay, lavishing her with passion. Although it was her first time, she was not a little girl and she knew what to expect. There were not surprises in his moves, but what makes her loose control was the way he touched her. Every touch flowed into the next and he was never doing just one thing. He was everywhere.

"You're really good at this" she said.

"You just make it really easy" He told her, trailing a hand down her stomach, watching it twitch with avid fascination "Have you done this before?" he asked her.

"No" she breathed.

He smiled and kissed her on the neck, then drew her head back so he can kiss her on the lips. She smiled, returned every touch, every kiss, make yelps of surprise, whispered words of passion and when it came to the real act, it was nothing she had not dreamed and everything that was real. Kaiba's kisses became more rough, more demanding; his movements more focussed, more powerful but yet smooth. And then, a fascinating and beautiful sensation that fill the body, like a nice chill that starts on the base on the neck and travel all over the body, and then its over in a moment, leaving only a memory and the comforting presence of each other's bodies.

Sweating, Kaiba pulled off of her, his hand entangled in her hair. They both nestled down in the bed, and then he started to caress her breasts as he kisses her neck and rubbed his cheek against her shoulder. She reached to touch his cheek fondly "I'll never be the same" she realized "Thank God, I waited for you. You're more special than you think" she smiled as Kaiba continued to caress and kiss her. Eventually, her eyelids slid shut and she drifted into a restful slumber.

If somebody have told Kaiba that this was going to happen, he would not have believe him, laughed at his face and insult him; Wheeler's little sister, funny twist of destiny, so different were they lives and here they are, sharing the same bed "You do justice to your name" he tough while caressing her hair, feeling really calm since he was a kid without worries and problems. So different yet they complete each other so well.
