"I have come to retrieve Lady Rayna." Byakuya said as he felt a strange bubble of anger well up inside him. The look on Raynas face had been one that was never directed his way. Soft gold eyes tinged with green, looked up at Captain Kyoraku with laughter. The smile on her face was dazzling.
Earlier that day when he felt the large flux of her spiritual pressure, it had almost driven him to leave a clan meeting. Even after it settled, he was distracted by what could be taking place with Rayna. The only thing that had put him at ease was that her escort was one of the most powerful captains in the Seireitei despite his lazy demeanor. Renji had also kept him apprised of Raynas movements and if anything life threatening had come up he would have known right away. Before coming here he had reported into his division office and been told that Momo Hinamori had made a turn for the better and escaped deaths grasp. The condition of the lieutenant was common knowledge as was her slow death. The mystery of the heightened spiritual pressure had been solved.
Nothing could have prepared him for finding her dancing across the floor with the playful Shunsui in the 8th divisions' office. "If the lady has finished with her duties it is best to return.' Byakuya said coolly
Surprised to see Byakuya staring down at her, Rayna turned smiling eyes to him as her Reiatsu uncontrollably increased and changed form within her. "The Lady is still waiting to speak with the lieutenant of the 9th division."
"Then he can request an audience at my manor." Byakuya ordered.
The smile did not leave her eyes. Raynas mood was light and cheerful. Removing herself from Shunsuis embrace she turned to face the dark haired captain. "Or, since I am the one that needs to offer apology, I can wait until Lieutenant Hisagi returns. It seems impolite to interrupt his duties to thank him for attending to mine." There was a playful tone to her voice but there was no mistaking her intention.
Shunsui found the whole situation amusing. Looking up from the lady standing next to him, he tried to asses Byakuyas mood. He had not missed the rise in Raynas spiritual pressure when the raven haired captain had appeared. Raynas title was above Byakuyas' and she held some animosity for him….or… "Oh, Lady no," he said out loud looking back down at her with shock in his tone and understanding in his eyes.
Bright color spread across Raynas face; to her the implication was clear. The captain was too perceptive, he had felt the rise and change in her spirit pressure. There was no use in denying something that she herself knew to be truth. "Imagine my own surprise at the discovery?" The smile on her face was brilliant as she looked up at the gray eyed captain. Rayna was not one to deny her own feelings, it was impossible to hide them anyway.
"You must like challenge Lady Rayna." Shunsui said smiling down at her. Steeling a glance at Nanao, he said. "I myself can sympathize."
Rayna caught the eye movement and followed his line of sight. "It can't be helped then we are doomed to a life fraught with discord." Turning back to midnight blue eyes her smile faded a little. The raven haired captain was arrogant, sour, and hard to deal with. That did not change her feelings for him. Despite the constant contention, her soul was drawn to the apathetic Lord. Sighing outwardly at the internal struggle she said, "I am not certain I ever had a choice in this matter." Turning her head, she smiled up at Shunsui one last time before placing all of her attention on the raven haired aristocrat.
Confused by the exchange between them Byakuya felt the bubble of anger burst and he had to fight to control it. The two before him had an ease that he had almost never encountered with Rayna. When she was with him it was all defiance and conflict. The only exception to that was her infinite compassion. Nothing about their relationship was easy. There were other exclusions but those had to be fought for. How could they share such a strong bond after one day together? "I have fulfilled my duties here and have others at my estate. I allowed you the opportunity to complete your obligations. It is time to return." The tone he used was harsher than he intended.
For a split second Rayna considered the consequences of defying him, but she was tired of their discord. The elation she felt at seeing him could not be mistaken. Reaching up she kissed the devastatingly charming captain on the cheek and said. "Thank you Captain Kyoraku. I hope to see you again soon. Perhaps next time we can engage in other frivolous activities." The smile she gave him was brilliant and he returned one in kind.
Silently, Byakuya watched the two and when Rayna kissed his fellow captain on the cheek the anger that he felt turned into biting fury. When she turned to him her eyes still held the green hue of happiness. "You dishonor yourself with your abandonment of moral decorum. True nobles know do not act upon degenerate behavior." The tone he used was aloof but the statement was full of derision.
The insult could not go ignored. Yellow eyes flashed at midnight ones. Rayna opened her mouth to respond but chose to hold her temper. This was not the time or the place, but when she got him alone he would know the full measure of her ire. There was just no winning with this man. Speechless she made her way around the captain and left the 8th divisions' office.
Nanao watched as Byakuya left after the woman, in stunned silence. The private conversation between her captain and the noblewoman was just as confusing to her as it had been to Byakuya. The insult that had been bestowed, was not. It was deep and cutting. The shock on her face was unmistakable.
Shunsui approached his lieutenant. "Ah Nanao-chan do not fret. I am pretty certain if there is one person that can engage in a battle of wills against Byakuya Kuchiki it is Lady Rayna Hirosasuke." Placing a kiss on the top her head, his reward was another whack with her book.
Using Shunpo at her top speed, Rayna reached her rooms several seconds before the raven haired captain. The animosity that coursed through her veins was so distracting that she did not notice the brilliant night outside. The elegant room she was assigned was dimly lit and she stood in the middle of it, not noticing her surroundings. Senses tingled with anger as her temper boiled to its releasing point. When he finally appeared she was waiting for him. Keeping her eyes downturned she waited for him to get closer to her before she began.
"I may be forced to endure your presence but I will not endure your insults. Even if I were born in the slums, my pedigree would outweigh yours based on courtesy alone. I am not bound by your rules of honor. Force them on me and you will be met with absolute contempt. I will not change my nature because you are frigid and dispassionate." Rayna stated as she looked up with glowing yellow eyes.
The temper that had been unleashed increased his rage, as the insult set in. "Your behavior was foolish and shameful. It is not your place as royalty to offer yourself to someone beneath you." Byakuya admonished stepping forward looking down on her. Spiritual pressure started to build within him, and he could not keep the traces of anger from appearing on his face.
The loud crack sounded out against the night as Raynas hand made contact with the side of his face. The slap that she placed on his cheek landed before Rayna had known what she had done. But, it did not stop the temper that had built up inside of her. Even the warning sparks that flashed in dark eyes went unnoticed. "You think I am a fool? Very well then let's quantify my foolishness so we can make sure that you can correct my behavior appropriately. The only person I have offered myself to is you. But I suppose your warped sense of honor does not include correcting your own lack of propriety." Rayna blinked back tears that were starting to form. Refusing to cry in front of him she continued, "Despite your low and misguided opinion. I do not offer myself lightly, in fact you are the first. If I am a fool than I blame my soul for choosing you against my will."
It was time to leave. Rayna had already known that this would not end well and she could not take the cool look of disdain on his face any longer. "You will not have to suffer my person or shameful behavior any further. I am not bound to you and I will be leaving now." Turning away from him she went to gather what little belongings she had. The living world would have to offer sanctuary until Yarinju returned. Despite the feelings that she had, she was not his to subjugate.
The admission hit Byakuya harder than the slap she had given him. Pushing her to anger had given him the advantage even though she had not realized it. A long silence stretched between them and his anger changed shape. Kurirayna Ishume Hirosasuke, with all her passion, compassion, and strength was already his. The noblewoman just didn't know it yet.
With speed that rivaled hers Byakuya was behind her. A singular fluid motion turned her to face him as sure hands wrapped her in an embrace she couldn't escape from. One hand found itself around her waist and the other was forcing her face up to receive his kiss. Smothering her lips, he was relentless with his assault.
Caught off guard, it took Rayna a moment to realize what was happening. By the time she thought to resist, it was too late, her body responded on its own. Before she knew it she was returning his kiss with just as much passion. Sure hands came up to wind themselves around his neck. Tongues intertwined as their mouths melted into one another.
Byakuyas need consumed him as he deepened the kiss. The rise of her spiritual pressure told him that he was going to have to be very careful. This was not something that could be rushed. Not willing to take anything less than her complete submission, he was going to make sure that Rayna knew she was his. Pulling his mouth away from hers he held her tightly so she could not escape. Concentrating he reached out a hand beside him and placed a barrier over her room. It would not be enough unless he had her acquiescence but he was not willing to accept anything less.
Rayna felt the barrier rise around them and she paused. Confusion overcame her. "What…"
It was his turn to cut her off. Byakuya ordered, "Be quiet Rayna," and started kissing her again. The kiss lasted several long moments before he started discovering the taste of her skin on the side of her neck. The skin there was like warm silk. It was a sensation that he had not forgotten from the last time he was tempted by her. Delicately he began tracing a path from her neck down over her caller bone. The fingers around his neck reached up and wound themselves in his hair. It drove him on and his hands came up and started tugging at the Kosode she wore. Exposing more satin fire to explore.
Bringing his mouth back to hers he teased her tongue with his. Gradually he slide the soft fabric down her arms and let it drop to the floor. The modern bra she wore underneath came next and Rayna stood before him bare from the waist up. Without leaving her mouth he allowed his hands to roam. Following a hot path over porcelain softness, he used his hands to explore the contours of her body. Fingers spread wide, as he brushed them down between her breasts and dusted them over her stomach. Pulling her to him again, he wrapped one hand around her waist. As his tongue invaded deep into her mouth, he brought his other hand up to cup her breast. Rubbing his thumb over her nipple, the soft peak reacted to his touch. Breaking away from her mouth he followed the direction of his hand placing kisses along warm skin. When he took the erect nipple into his mouth she gasped and stiffened against him.
Byakuya froze resting his head against her chest. Absolute surrender was what he wanted, but he would not take it. Then he noticed that Raynas spiritual pressure was about to break beyond the barrier. Allowing his own Reiatsu to rise, Byakuya invited hers in. As he waited, her hands combed through his hair removing the Kenseikan from it. When they fell on top of her Kosode, her Reiatsu flowed into him. Looking up at her he watched hazel eyes fill with amber as he began to comprehend. The noble woman would not allow him as a captain, or as a nobleman, he would only be able to dominate her as a man. When her fingers grasped his hair he brought his mouth back to hers and kissed her again.
Rayna was barely aware of herself being directed toward the futon in her room. The kiss that she was receiving was supple and he tasted of mint and clover. When her Hakama fell to the floor she was only aware of the cool air against the skin of her legs and the man kissing her. A new need rose up within her and she placed her hands and inside his Kosode, pushing it and his Hiaori aside. A well muscled chest invited her. Allowing her hands to explore on their own, she was enthralled by the taught body they discovered. Unable to control herself she wrapped her hands around him bringing her breasts in contact with his chest. The feeling of his cool skin against her caused another gasp to escape from her lips as she broke away from his mouth to catch her breath.
The warmth of her skin next to his almost made Byakuya lose control of his need. While one arm held her in place he used his other hand to free glorious hair. It fell over her shoulders and down her back in flowing waves.
Kneeling, he brought Rayna down to the soft sheets of the futon. He followed her, as he laid her down on her back. Sweeping his gaze over her, he was astounded by her beauty. It had always been there underneath the clothes she wore, but she was breathtaking to see unveiled. Lying next to her inviting body, he brought his lips back up to hers. As their tongues wrapped around each other, he again felt the need to explore her with his hands. Byakuya buried a hand in soft hair as he leaned on one arm. Graceful arms wound around his neck and he ran the palm of his free hand down one of them. The defined muscles were covered in velvet alabaster. While his tongue explored her mouth his hand surveyed her body.
Dragging his fingers down her shoulder and over her breast, he lightly followed the path over her stomach to her hip. When he felt the soft cloth of her modern underwear he stopped kissing her to look into her eyes. Slowly and with painstaking caution he tugged the fabric down. Liquid amber eyes filled with passion and surrender. The last of her clothing came off without protest as it slid down long luxurious legs.
Dark eyes held Rayna in a trance as the last of her clothing was removed. The time to stop him was long past. Now she wanted more of him. There was a warm heat growing inside her and it demanded for her to explore his body. Skillfully she began to unwind the light green scarf that hid the skin she longed to see. Holding his stare in her own until she was done she brought her lips back up to his. Forcing herself against him she began to push at the clothing that kept her from taking the full measure of his upper torso. Once the barrier had been removed she fallowed her own instinct and began to taste the skin at his neck.
The sensation of Raynas mouth on his neck sent chills through him and he had to fight against ravishing her. Reveling in the sensation of her hot skin against his, he stopped to enjoy her ministrations. The arm around her tightened as he buried his face in her hair. The hand that he had rested on her waist began to slide down the soft skin of her outer thigh. Spreading his fingers across her leg he pushed upward.
Distracted by the hand that was coming to close to intimate areas Rayna froze. This was new territory for her and despite the heat that she felt, she was uncertain. Pulling back, she reached up and pushed back soft raven hair so that she could see the look on his finely chiseled face.
Seeing her uncertainty, Byakuya brought his mouth to hers, forcing her back down against the futon that they now shared. Despite her hesitation he was not going to stop. Enticement was something that he could offer instead. While deepening the kiss he brought his hand further up and found the apex of her being.
Rayna had no choice but to follow where he led when she felt his hand smooth over her intimately she sucked in a sharp breath. When his fingers pushed insider her she gasped with pleasure. The lips that covered hers would not let her break away and she whined into his mouth. As he began to manipulate her she arched her back threw her head back tearing her mouth away from his. A pressure she had never felt before began to build. Fingers moved inside her rhythmically as that pressure soon consumed her. Exquisite sensation exploded into her as a moan escaped from her throat. Soft lips responded as Byakuya began to kiss her gently.
Byakuya raised his Reiatsu in preparation of her release. The waves that flowed through him were so powerful that his skin began to glow. Withdrawing his fingers he folded his arms around her. The embrace was not forceful and his lips played across hers as her breathing started to slow.
Waiting until her breathing returned to normal, Rayna gave into instinct. Bringing her own hands around his waist she gently slid them inside his hakama. She circled them around his waist and fallowed the chiseled divot that led to exploration further down.
Stilling against her, Byakuya could not move as soft hands grazed across his skin. The control he had was slipping away. When Rayna pushed them down the front of his stomach scraping her nails against him he thought he would go mad. He was undone when she trailed further down and grasped his virility. The practiced control he had dissipated and he gave into his base needs. Lifting himself up, he reached down and practically tore the rest of his clothing off.
Clasping both of her hands in one of his he slammed them against the futon over her head pinning her in place. The other hand wound itself tightly around her waist and brought her to him. Using his knee he forced her legs to apart and before he could stop himself he entered Rayna. A hiss escaped Byakuya as warm softness held him tightly sheathed within her.
For an instant Rayna felt an uncomfortable stabbing of pain, then she was aware of his invasion of her body. The feeling of him inside her was wondrous and consumed all of her thoughts. Movement made her breath hitch. It was slow and sensuous at first but soon there was a quickened rhythmic pace. The pressure she had felt earlier now began to build again and a sound came from her that was a half moan half whimper. Opening herself further up to him she wound her legs around his waist and silently begged for him not to stop.
Sensing her Reiatsu began to rise, Byakuya began to allow his spiritual pressure to rise once again. He was not willing to allow Rayna to reach euphoria again until his will allowed it. Bringing his mouth to the soft skin of her breast, he sunk his teeth in letting the pain calm her body. The soft scream that came out was a somewhere between pleasure and pain. Arms wound themselves around him as fingernails dug into his skin. Forgetting all plans to take this slowly he plunged into her mercilessly, thrusting deeper and faster. Moans reverberated in his ear and sent sensation through him. The ecstasy he felt at controlling her mind, body, and spirit was a driving force that he was unable to control. When she tightened around him again in climax he felt his own release.
Rayna was so lost in sensations she was unaware that she had given herself over completely. When the waves of sensation overtook her she lost her breath into his mouth as Byakuya captured it, and growled into her lips. In that moment there was nothing else but Byakuya and the elation that he had causes within her, nothing else existed.
It took several long moments for their breathing to calm in which Byakuya remained buried within her. Gently he removed the hands that had held her in place. Examining her he began to note the bruises that were already starting to form. "I am sorry," he apologized as he looked down at her face.
Rayna stiffened not understanding his meaning. Shame was not something she felt especially when her emotions were concerned. Her total submission was not something she would ever regret, even if he did. "I'm not," she responded with a whisper.
Feeling her stiffening underneath him Byakuya quickly kissed her. "I am sorry if I hurt you," he clarified. Surprised by her admission, he studied her carefully.
"You didn't," Rayna reassured as she relaxed again. Bringing her hands up, she again combed them through soft dark hair as she kissed Byakuya with bruised lips. Pulling away she felt herself drowning in midnight blue eyes. Realization set in and Rayna now knew that she was in fact bound to Byakuya Kuchiki and would bend to his will. Joy spread through her, followed by sorrow. The only thing that had changed was she now knew without a doubt that she was in love with him. Things were going to get really complicated.
Byakuya looked down captivated by her gaze. The liquid pools of amber faded into deep emerald. There was no mistaking the look, and it was directed at him. His soul sang with elation. Rayna had given submission at his request because she loved him. As he watched the light dimmed for an instant but the emotion passed quickly and her eyes sparkled with love. Choosing not to pursue the cause, he brought his lips to hers as he ran his hand through her soft hair. She loved him the rest would come on its own.
Rayna awoke to soft lips pressing against her shoulder. Waking was a slow process, because she did not want to leave the rapture of his warmth.
Thinking back to the night they had shared a smiled came to her lips. After they had laid there for a time Byakuya began to move inside her again. Before she knew it they were both overcome with passion. The second time he slowed his pace and teased and tempted her body into response more than once. After he reached his own climax they fell asleep with her back into his chest, and his strong arms wrapped tightly around her.
Turning into him as she finally became fully awake as she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck. The scent of him filled her and she was reminded of the musk of fresh flowing water. Opening her eyes slowly she realized it was near dawn. When she looked up it was to find him staring down at her.
"I have to go," he said regret evident in his voice. "An alarm has been raised, but I should be back in time to join you for tea." Byakuya said as he ran his fingers through her hair. Bringing his lips to hers he brushed a soft kiss across her mouth. Anything more and he would not be able to leave her.
"I..." Rayna began but was unsure what to say. The sun would rise to quickly daylight would bring harsh truths. "There's somethi...," she tried again.
Sighing internally, Byakuya had hoped that he would have a submissive Rayna for just a little longer. "I am holding you to your word. I will expect you to follow the parameters as previously set forth."
"That's not…" Rayna tried again somewhat annoyed.
Placing a finger over her mouth to silence her. "I am certain you have protests, you always do. But, I will not allow you to go against your word, and I am altering our arrangement." No longer able to resist he pressed his lips against hers letting his tongue delve into her mouth. The response he got was anything but defiant. Ending the kiss, he said, "Whenever I enter your room I will not consider any objections."
Out of breath, Rayna smiled up at him and said, "yes Captain Kuchiki." All other thoughts left her. Reassuringly she kissed the corner of his mouth as she ran her hand through his lustrous raven hair.
Byakuya forced himself away from her and got up. Rayna sat up and watched him as he quickly walked to her bathroom and began to ready himself for the day. When he was dressed he stopped to look at her. The vision held him captivated. Rayna sat covering herself with a white sheet that did not hide the voluptuous figure underneath. Golden streaked red hair framed porcelain and face flowed all around her. Swollen red lips invited him to stay and taste them again, as hazel eyes offered allurement. Crouching down beside her futon he reached out and touched her face rubbing his thumb over soft lips. Winning the battle of wills was a victory he would savor. Kissing her one last time before leaving, he wondered how long her compliance would last.
Ok, so I don't usually ask for feedback but if you had to take a cold shower after this I want to know, cause that means my job here is done. It was not easy getting throught the editing process on this.... Whew...
If I had a love theme between them two it would be 'Everything' By Lifehouse. The T.V. was on but I was to distracted to really notice... for obvious reasons.
I don't own Bleach Tite Kubo does, nor do I seek profit. I just have an over active imagination when it comes to lusting after Anime characters.
