Attractions: Chapter One

The walk to the elevator was made in silence, but both kept their grip on the other's hand. Usagi thought it odd how such a simple act could be so comforting and make her forget some of her stress and anxiety that still lingered from the quiet ride from the arcade.

Mamoru on the other hand merely wanted to wrap his arms around her and hold her to him. At the moment, he really wasn't thinking about having sex with her, although there were still some residual affects from their earlier encounter. He just wanted to figure out what the hell was going on between the two of them now.

As the elevator came to a shuddering halt and the doors opened to allow them access, Mamoru led them inside and he slipped his hand from hers and wrapped his arm around her waist, slowly pulling her towards him so that her body was snug against his. Taken slightly off kilter, Usagi stumbled and wound up with both of Mamoru's arms around her waist and her nose buried in his warm chest. She let out a giggle and then took a deep breath, becoming overwhelmed by the unique smell that was Mamoru.

Her senses ran wild with his spicy and utterly romantic fragrance. She was unable to pinpoint any of the scents, but she repeated the action of breathing him in. Never would she have thought that a man could smell so good – especially Mamoru.

After taking in her fill of his aroma, Usagi tilted her head back to see his expression. He was looking down on her with a look that she couldn't describe, for she had never seen it before. When she captured his gaze with her own, the corners of his lips slanted upwards and his eyes gleamed. Slowly, he lowered his head until he could feel the soft puffs of air exiting her parted lips.

Usagi remained stock-still and though she never removed her gaze from his, she could feel her lids grow heavy and her breathing escalate.

And then he stopped.

Every fiber of Mamoru's being wanted to continue his approach and kiss her; for some reason he wanted her to initiate it. He didn't know what he would do if she didn't and wound up rejecting him, but he knew that he would never force himself on her, no matter how much he wanted her.

Usagi didn't know why he hadn't continued his advance, but she knew that she wanted to kiss him once more. She decided that if he wasn't going to start it, then she would, she rose onto her tiptoes. Just as she began to close the small gap between their mouths, there was a loud shuddering and a thud.

Both faces turned to watch the elevator doors close, sealing off the view of the parking lot. Mamoru wanted to laugh, they hadn't even pushed the button for his floor; they had been in each other's arms since they entered. How long had they just been standing there?

Feeling a tug on his hair, he swung his gaze down to see Usagi's beautiful face right before her lips closed over his.
