A/N: Yeah, I know, it's been a long time, but if Steel is going to be posting again, I guess I should get back to work, as well.

The following is a LEMON told in MINAKO's POV. The characters don't belong to me, but you already knew that, didn't you?

Enjoy.

:Shikoku scurries back under the sheets.:

Chapter Fifteen:

"I dare you to kiss ME."

Yeah, I know, that was kind of a lame dare. I mean, C'mon! I was totally copying Ami with the whole "Kiss Usagi" thing. I could have come up with sooo many more original dares.

But you know what? It doesn't matter.

Cause just with that one sentence. Everyone in that hot spring froze, and the tension level went up a gazillion degrees.

Was it just me, or does EVERYONE here know the significance of what I just started.

I mean, if I use an analogy…

I had just slammed that volleyball directly into Makoto's side of the court, and everyone was holding their breath waiting to see if Mako would slam the ball back to me, fumble, or just run screaming right out of the volleyball tournament.

Okay, that was a lame analogy, but I never did say I was a writer, now did I?

Anyway, enough stalling.

I stared at Makoto wondering what she was going to do now that I laid my cards on the table…

Okay, enough with the analogies! I promise.

OMYGOSH!!

Makoto's starting to slide through the water over to me!!!

Does this mean she's actually (Gasp!) going to do it????

My stomach starts to feel funny as it is filled with anticipation.

You know like you're so excited (or scared) You swear you're going to throw up?

Yeah, I know it's not very romantic, but I'm talking real life here. I already swore off the analogies, so you won't be hearing about "Butterflies floating around inside my stomach." Nopes, it's too late for that. You're gonna here about how I was feeling like I was going to barf all over the hotspring.

See your loss? Can I use analogies, again?

Thank you.

The butterflies were now slamming against the walls of my stomach, as Makoto paused for a very loooong time, just a breath away from me.

I mean, I could literally feel her breathing on me.

Wonder how high THAT is on the Romance meter..

That's when Makoto suddenly put her hands on my bare shoulders.

By this point, all thought literally flew out of my head, and I think the constant dripping between my legs suddenly erupted into a flash flood.

Then she starts to lean down towards me. I swear my heart is beating so hard I'm about to die from a heart attack right there.

Then Makoto stops moving.

NOOOOOOoOOOOOOOooOOOOO!!!!

Now I was really about to die.

She was soooo close. What's the problem?? You're almost there!!

I dunno if I'm now her cheerleader or coach, flipping back and forth between cheering her on, or threatening to kill her if she didn't move already.

I think I seriously would have done something violent, if BANG! Her lips were suddenly on my lips.

The next set of feelings is hard to describe…. A mix of relief and great pleasure… She tasted sooooo goood!

I've been dreaming about her lips for soo long now, it could have easily become a great let down. But Makoto's lips were exactly how I always pictured in my mind.

But immensely better.

Cause no matter how good my imagination is, NOTHING beats the real thing. Ever.

Then she is pulling me against her, and our boobs get to meet for the first time, and her arms are around me, and oh my stars, her tongue is inside my mouth!!!! Yays! First base!!!! And she's "Mmmmm"ing deep in her throat and I can feel the vibrations we're so closely pressed together And she's practically crushing me into her but I don't mind cause it feels so damn good I can feel her skin all over mine and it feels hotter than the water we're in though that feels good too Her tongue is practically feeling up my tonsils I could gag on it ... if I hadn't already killed off my gag reflex And her hands are feeling me up everywhere and I'm doing the same thing Then I'm pushed up against the rock behind me..

Kami, I actually forgot how intensely I love this woman.. Especially when she's all take charge.

Then she starts rubbing her body against mine, short-circuiting my brain!!

Her hands go into my hair and mine go I'm not sure what I'm feeling up anymore but it feels oh so good and we're both panting as the rubbing continues quickly turning into grinding and I love it so much And next thing I have HER up against the wall and my knee slips between her legs… and her knee is between mine..

Then the rubbing starts as I rhythmically bounce up and down..

Then the build up comes fast and furious..

Until we couldn't take it anymore,

And all the pleasure exploded in one giant orgasmic ecstasy filled moment!!

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh It was sooooooo goood. I can't possibly tell you how good it was.

It took forever to recover. We were slumped together panting for.. I dunno how long..But it was just as nice as going at it.. I could have stayed in recovery with Makoto forever.

Course the realization we had an audience significantly sped up the healing process.

"Holy Shit!"

We turn and see our dumbfounded audience. Usagi, Rei, and Ami are staring at us as if we had just made passionate love right in front of them…

Oh. Wait, we just did.

At least, we have the decency to look sheepish about this fact.

Well, Mako did, anyway.

Me? I just decide to kiss Makoto once more in a "Back off, she's mine now" sort of way.

Also to convince Makoto I like her once and for all…

Like letting her screw me in the hot spring wasn't clue enough.

I don't let just anyone do that.

Well, if the opportunity ever came up I wouldn't… maybe…

Anyway, I guess the passionate after kiss did the trick, cause Makoto looked deep into my eyes and said with all the sincerity of a knight in shining armor who happens to be naked: "I Love You, Minako."

YEEEESSSSS!!!!!! Finally!!!

But way more composed and dignified, I reply: "It's about time. I Love You too."

"You mean you KNEW??" Aaaah, how cute! She was actually surprised!

"Of course silly! I AM the Goddess of Love!" Well, I am.

"But.. but why didn't you say anything?"

"I wanted you to say it first." Isn't it obvious?

It takes awhile for this to sink it, but it must havem because she looks to Rei and says, "You were right."

This is a pleasant surprise. "You told Rei about us?"

"She pried it out of me awhile back and has been trying to get me to admit my feelings for you ever since."

I glare at Rei. Why that little scamp! She's been stuck in the middle hearing both sides of our love problem, and she never did anything to solve it! "You didn't try hard enough!"

THAT snaps Rei out of her daze. "Hey! I TRIED to get her to admit it to you, but she was too stubborn!"

Well, couldn't argue with her there. "I know, but that's one of the things I love about her." And I smooch my Mako-chan, again. Damn, I could get used to this! "So, does anyone else know?"

"Ami, and probably the Outers."

That makes sense. "What about Usagi?" We look over to the other blonde.

She blinks at us. "What? This's supposed to be news?" she asks, looking confused. "I figured you guys have been a couple since the day you met!"

The other four of us collectively blink. "What?"

Usagi shrugs. "You two are just so perfect for each other, I just assumed you were already going out." She explains.

There's a moment of silence, then we start to laugh. "Just like Usagi." Makoto grins.

But it was a very Usagi thing for her to say. Our princess always knew us better than we knew ourselves.

But I can't wait to get to know Makoto better.

If you know what I mean.

The sooner we could ditch the others and go back to our room the better….
