CHAPTER 5
On her eight week Natsuki R. Kuga realized that Cramoisi was much more than a whore house. It was a private sanctuary for politicians to converse their anxieties on the future of France. It was the museful garden for many infamous writers to finish their latest Novela Cortas. It appeared that the girls and boys of this neat looking house had been reclaimed as worthy intellectuals with Lady Viola as their pioneer.
Some came in rush and some in a leisurely façade. Cramoisi was by far the most clear establishment that rejected the sexism of it's age. It recapitulated negative stereotypes of women as citizens of no worth. Natsuki was shocked when one day, she partially heard Viola changing the course of the taxing system in one of her non-chalant converses. She would be even more shocked when the bill would pass somewhat three months later.
Of course if Natsuki had noticed the scribbles on a specific leather notebook held by a handsome spanish man that went by the name Zorrilla, she might have had an insight on the woman she was currently interested in.
As the handsome man laid on the cushions of the garden on a sunday afternoon, he was finally relieved of his anxiety to ever write another word. The enlightenment hit him when his eyes laid on the gorgeous blond whom his friends had spoken of with much admire. He had passed hundreds of cities, some magnificient some magical. Yet it was in a not so grand white house in the middle of Paris that he had found his muse. There on that little notebook, with an elegant hand writing he wrote;
'en el aire, en el clima, en la fácil vida alegre, frugal y aventurera, en la sangre ardorosa, atavismo caballeril, menosprecio de la vida, odio al trabajo, sobra de sol, prodigalidad del tiempo, mujerío irresistible y legendario fama de valor, rumbo y galantería'
in the air, in the climate, in the happy frugal and adventurous easy life, in passionate blood, in atavistic gentlemanliness, scorn for life, hatred of work, too much sun, squandering of time, irresistible womanizing and legendary fame for valour, drive and gallantry
It would be just another literal legacy Lady Viola had affected.
So it went without saying that Natsuki Kuga in that specific slice of time did not have a clue about the effects of her presence created on the said blond. Thus, her irritation was somewhat understandable.
Precisely about four weeks ago, right after an unsuccessful attempt to run away from the house she was sold to, Natsuki had found herself under a groin burning seduction by her Lady. Her mouth had pushed the woman away while her body screamed for more.
And it was for this reason that for a moment both women had lost their logic.
A question was aroused in the most fragile, melodic form, and a promise was made to accept it…
That had happened a month ago. And the moment it had happened both women had immediately let go of each other somewhat confused by their own actions. It was not Natsuki but the Lady of the house that had fled the room right afterwards with a slightly pathetic excuse to recheck the girls of the house.
This past month, both women had a lot of time to think, and from time to time regret their words. After all, Natsuki had accepted to willingly stay in the house and was now rethinking the credibility of her logic. No matter how much she had gone through the scenario, it was to no avail; she had yet to come to a logical explanation…
But more importantly, the fact that the blond goddess of the house had not approached her since then, bugged the blunette's mind even more greatly.
Now she stood out in the fresh day helping out Yukino with the gardening, unknowingly missing the day Viola had joined them.
She was brought back from her thoughts by a timid question raised right behind her.
''Are you alright Kuga-san?'' the shy brown haired girl asked with slight worry in her eyes.
Natsuki blinked back, realizing that she had been over watering the plant for some time.
''Oh-dammit. Sorry..'' she replied very much embarrassed by her actions. Her hand had reached behind her neck, a very much of a Kuga trademark. ''By the way, umm.. you can just call me Natsuki you know.'' she added quickly.
''So I shall then.'' The little girl replied with a smile. Both girls turned back to their respected duties while Natsuki pondered on a question.
At the end of this month she had come to a single conclusion; she had to learn more about Viola.
'' May I ask you a slightly personal question? I mean you do not have to answer if you don't want to.'' The blue haired woman asked, her brows crossed in contemplation.
''I will try my best to clarify whatever is on your mind. Go ahead…''
Natsuki grabbed on the root of hay and pulled it out among many beautiful flowers.
''How did you end up here?''
Natsuki did not wait much for an answer.
''I was sold to the Cramoisi. Very much like yourself.''
The blunette stopped only a second before she fired away her next question.
''I see. How long have you been here?''
''This year will mark my sixth.''
''Six years? You must have been damn young when you first came here!''
The said girl just chuckled when she saw the blunette's widened eyes.
''Yes indeed, I was merely a 14 year old when I first step foot into Cramoisi. Yet, before your eager mind takes you down a slippery road it is not as you think so.''
''Huh?'' was all Natsuki could say before Yukino gave her little revelation.
''I mean to say, I became a Cramoisi girl when I hit 18. Before that one can say I was just looked after.''
''I don't think I understand. Looked after?''
The timid girl just gave an understanding smile as she went on with her story,
''Yes… My mother you see… I do not know her well. Only that she lived in one of the whorehouses. I must have been an unwanted child. I started life under a man named Jacob who, one may say is a bastard if you pardon my language. There were sixteen of us. We used to steal for him, money, food, jewelry, anything really... One day at the streets, I saw the prettiest girl I have ever seen and decided to steal from her… Only I got caught.''
Natsuki gave out a little hitch while Yukino gave out a cute little laughter.
''It was the best thing ever happened to me. It was Viola… She pressured the previous owner to take me. If I remember correctly she had said it had been my eyes…'' Yukino looked away from the blunette, her eyes drifting off to the past.
Natsuki just looked at the little woman in front of her. She expected regret, hatred, anything along those lines but never… gratitude?
''Your eyes?'' she asked non-believingly.
''Yes.'' The girl paused and let out another chuckle before quoting her Lady of the house; ''She said I had the most innocent eyes a thief ever had.''
''Oh… Well you do have pretty eyes.''
Natsuki's hand rushed off to her mouth but it was too late for Yukino had already heard her innocent little comment.
''Why thank you Natsuki, it is rare to hear a compliment from you. I shall cherish it well..''
''Umm. Yeah. You do that.'' Was all a red little tomato could mutter before she returned to her gardening duties.
-.
''Here you go Natsuki.''
The said girl looked up from her seiza position and gave a quick nod and a thank you. It was good to be sitting on the grass, absorbing the sunlight from every pore and do absolutely nothing. The freshly made lemonade was just the cherry on the top. Oh yeah, life in this moment was good…
But then again life has been good for these past two weeks…
Without Viola I actually don't mind living in Cramoisi. Not at all. None.
None whatsoever.
Ugh.
This was a dialogue repeated every hour inside Natsuki's head. True, her Lady had left the house saying that there were friends in need of attention. Friends as Natsuki presumed were Cramoisi's clients. Grabbing three of her girls and Nao she had disappeared into thin air. There were no sex educations, no annoying teasings, or voltaged meetings. For the past two weeks all Natsuki had were labor work for the day and a good meal with nap for the latter.
And for some reason it bothered her.
Bothered her like hell.
''What is is.. I mean who is Lady Viola to you? As a woman, as a person what is she like really?''
After a short hum, as if to say Yukino expected this question, the timid girl's pose changed to a thoughtful one.
''For me Viola is.. Elusive. Her dangerous proximity, and strained relationship with beauty; her fragility in the face of suspicion which is never shown if not to a keen eye… All of these are only a fragment of her which was beautifully and delicately crafted and sturdily forged.''
Holy mother of… I don't think anybody will ever define me in such complexity.
For a moment Natsuki just stopped, thinking what would people tell about her if asked? And the more she thought, the angrier she became from the simplicity and vulgarity of her adjectives.
''The person you've just defined is a totally different from the person I know.'' She let out with a low voice.
''True.''
Natsuki's head rose up to Yukino who was now sitting on a chair nearby the blunette.
''Sorry?''
''I said, you're right. ''
''I don't understand then… I mean how?''
''She is different to you.''
And as if it was Yukino's turn to be mysterious the brunette looked down on the blunette with a knowing smile. Knowing, yet not telling.
''Different how? Come on!''
Well, seeing the whining Kuga was just a bonus, Yukino thought.
''The Viola I see next to you is… even I don't really know how to define exactly. But I can say is that she is not her usual self. And plus she has taken a liking to you, which rarely happens.''
''Oh I beg to differ,'' the blunette rose up in slight fume, ''she likes and loves everyone! She sleeps with everyone!''
Natsuki did not know where her sudden rage had come from, and she was even more irritated when her rage was replied with a smile.
''It looks like you are different when it comes to her as well.'' The girl expressed her observation innocently, and that got Natsuki to calm down with doubt. ''Tell me Natsuki, what really bothers you so much about her that you're filled with such hatred? You don't have a life that you can complain, or at least in regard to the other options you could have ended up in…''
''It is the inevitable.'' Natsuki answered with the first reply on her mind.
''You mean to have sex with someone?''
''I do not think I need any other reason.''
''Perhaps you're right… Perhaps being in this house for six years have blurred my way of objective thinking. Sorry Natsuki.''
''No. You don't need to be sorry really. And honestly,''
The blunette stopped her sentence for a moment, not sure if she really wanted to utter her next words.
''I do not hate her. Not anymore.''
''Isn't that good to hear.'' Yukino stood up and gave a little pat on the blunette's head while the latter just murmured incoherent words and let Yukino take her empty glass.
-.
''647! Yes Sir! Over five hundred satisfied customers! And we're out!''
All the members of the Cramoisi laughed heartily to the overly exaggerated pun, a certain blunette included. Natsuki decided she loved Cramoisi the best at nights. Colorful lightings she had not even seen at home turned the white house into a carnival setting. And her favorite time at night was when the whole house gathered on a big black table to have their dinner in a merry atmosphere.
To say the table was big would be an understatement. It was grandeur and Natsuki was very surprised that the only reason they were eating in the basement two weeks ago was because Viola had ordered a new table and it had just arrived.
Food was carried from the kitchen by all members, meat and bird of every kind took the center crown while vegetables even Natsuki ate for the first time were scattered in even portions all around the table. Wine poured like water, while laughter like wine escalated as time went on.
''You know Mai, if it wasn't for you we would probably starve to death!''
''Oh now shut with the flattery and on with the stuffing that chicken body of yours. Plus, if it weren't for me you would be dining from the King's chefs. We all know how Viola is.''
They all laughed but what Natsuki learned later that night was the truth in Mai's words.
''Mai's husband was a egoistical son of a bitch you see..'' One of the girls informed the blunette.
''Yeah, I hated that bastard. He once came over here, how dare he! He was eyeing doubles from alcohol, came over to Adele holding her down with force and yelling whatever the price, she was his for the night.''
''Bastard.'' Natsuki agreed with slight fume. The girls just laughed and snuggled even more closely to the blunette while pouring her sixth glass of wine.
''Indeed. You know what happened next?''
''No. Did anything happen to you?'' Natsuki, not sure if it was the wine or the hot weather, had flared up with the need to protect these girls.
''My my, aren't you a prince charming! But rest assured Viola appeared right behind the man and had him thrown out immediately. Didn't she Callia?'' Adele replied while playing with Natsuki's hair.
''Indeed she did Adele!'' both girls giggled up to their antics while gulping down what remained in their glass.
''Oh I see.. What happened to Mai?'' Natsuki asked not really caring for the soft strokes on her right arm, or the hand that played with her hair on the left.
''She moved in of course!''
And to that Adele raised her glass one more time and the whole house followed to shot down the crimson liquor in one motion.
After the full-filling meal the members of the house settled in the garden talking to each other leisurely and laughing quite repeatedly. Today after all was the one day in the week Cramoisi closed it's doors to it's customers and only indulged in themselves, pampering each other with good food and good wine.
Unknown to Natsuki, she had become a favorable member of the house in short time. After rescuing Nao from her potential rapist, all the girls had named her their private prince charming while all the boys admired her and made company with her. Of course it wasn't just Natsuki's rescue mission that had her so important. In reality it was the labor work that got her so occupied through the day. She was unaware of the keen eyes that watched her every movement while she worked. Her perfectly toned abdomen that would show from time to time while helping around the house… The long yet creamy legs the perspiration lighted up. Saturated pink lips that she would lick quite occasionally due to her thirst… It was all of this and the enjoyment of the viewers that forever bounded Natsuki with the ever-growing requests around the house.
Thus, Natsuki found herself lying on a crème colored blanket with a large group of people surrounding her. But two in that large group had positioned Natsuki right between them to make sure they would indulge more of her then others.
Adele and Callia were the inseparable twins of the Cramoisi, Natsuki had learnt. Though not by birth or blood, this close sisterhood was due to a coincidental event on a whorehouse couple streets away from Cramoisi. Both of their mothers had given birth in the same house, the very same night, thus in their book making them twins.
''So you see that makes us twins!'' Adele whined.
''No it –hiccup- does not.''
''Natsuki is mean!'' Callia pounced on the said girl and the two started wrestling on the grass.
''Ahaha! It has absooo-lutely nothinhg to doo oh- wait no!''
Adele had joined her twin in punishing a certain blunette for not believing the legitimacy of their sisterhood. The method of punishment was to tickle.
''Ahahaha no! Wait! Ahahahaha wait!''
''Say you take it back!'' Callia demanded while tickling and biting the blunette's abdomen playfully.
''No! Aaah ahahaha please!''
''Just say it Natsuki!'' Adele followed her sister's steps, although hers was more biting and less tickling.
''Okay! Okay! I surrender! Ahahahaha please I mea-ahsahaha-n it!''
The girls seized fire for a second but that was all Natsuki needed to reverse the roles. She was a girl of the vineyards, the dirtier she got the more fun she always had. She was used to wrestling with her best friend or running in the forest for hours. Taking out two delicate girls? A piece of cake, or so Natsuki thought.
It was right according to the plan when Natsuki pinned the two sisters under her while capturing their wrists with both hands.
''Now whose the boss!'' the blunette exclaimed with her new advantaged position.
But her minutes of glory were cut short when not one but two lips locked on her. One was aimed for her lips while other targeted her lower neck. Too bedazzled to yell in surprise, Natsuki stood still, suspended in time. She felt a pair of soft lips moisturizing hers; she closed her eyes to feel more of the sensation. The other pair focused on sucking her pulse, creating a dizzying effect on Natsuki's lower body, while Adele kept kissing her ravishingly on the mouth fastening her heartbeat. To keep her balance Natsuki let go of the hands she was gripping and that was exactly what the girls wanted. Once free from their handcuffs, Natsuki's body was attacked by them. In a world of darkness she could feel and see the trails of those soft palms moving along her body.
She felt budding breasts rubbing against her so temptingly. Wrapped in each other's bodies, almost looking like a human knot from not far away. Natsuki wondered where this hunger came from. This hunger, which erupted inside of her, was a stranger. A stranger very well welcomed perhaps, but a stranger nonetheless. She pulled her head back for a second and opened her emerald eyes to find two other pairs looking at her hungrily.
''You have soft lips Natsuki…'' Adele hushed out with a dreamy yet dangerous gaze.
''Glad they work I guess. I don't think I ever used them other than for talking… and whistling.''
The girls giggled on the naivety of the blunette. Both thinking how on earth could someone be cocky, cute and clueless all at the same time.
''Wanna kiss some more?'' whispered Callia, very eager to get her share of those now pumping pink lips.
''I- I don't think I've ever had this effect on a woman before.'' Natsuki replied with a deep red hue and a goofy grin.
''Oh, and what effect do you think you have on us gorgeous?''
It was the sly grin, it was their rosy cheeks and pearl white teeth, in truth Natsuki did not know what really was about these girls she found so irresistible at the moment. And the fact that it could be the alcohol never crossed her mind.
After all, one rarely acknowledges one's drunkenness before all the sins committed.
''I don't quite recognize it. That's how I know I never had it before.'' exclaimed Natsuki with some eager. The giggles escalated to the people sitting near by them. Some of them warned the blunette about the soul eater twins while others cheered her to continue.
Apparently this moment was not shared by the three of them alone, but half of the Cramoisi, since they were all positioned on the near by cushions. They all watched as the stiff princess let go of her antics and embraced her inner lust. Some were jealous to realize all they had to do was to make the girl drink. There were some though, that did not get themselves involved with neither cheering nor warning. Some of them being Yukino, Mikoto, and Mai. The little group sitting somewhat farther then the rest only watched and observed while busying themselves with light conversation. It was Yukino's brow that rose when she saw the trio get intimate all the while shaking her head sideways as if to know something was going to happen. Something was bound to happen.
''You know Natsuki… You might just be the best thing happen to this house… After me and Adele of course.''
''Is that so.''
Natsuki did not know where her confidence, or better yet where her sudden openness to public display of affection came from. But she was in no mind to question it. Viola was nowhere to be found, and frankly at the moment she did not give a damn. It was nice to be surrounded with people who did not try to push her into things. Yes. Perhaps that was it! The fact that these girls had submitted themselves openly to her, and not push into giving herself.
Whether that was the case or not, Natsuki Kuga's train of thought came to a halt when Callia whispered her dirty dreams to the blunette's waking ears and Adele seized the moment to pinch Natsuki's nipples softly to a firm rise. Clouded by the new sensations all three of them failed to notice the rest of the house getting louder for some reason.
When Callia attacked Natsuki's lips, the blunette swore she heard people welcoming someone. There were faint noises of cheer and joy. Who it was, she had no idea.
But the honey coated accent would soon let herself be known.
''Ara ara, I'm glad to see the house have not been mourning my absence...''
And just like that Natsuki felt her whole body froze.
''Hahaha! I told you the twins wouldn't play nice for too long V.'' A red head stood next to a blond deity who, as Natsuki cursed, was none other than the lady of the house; Viola.
Natsuki found herself jumping off the giggling twins, her bottled up emotions re-ignited with the appearance of Viola.
''V-Viola..'' she repeated the blond's name as if learning to speak for the first time.
''And, it seems Natsuki has not forgotten my name either. Such joyful news.''
Those blood red eyes quickened her heart to a beat never reached before. But most of all, Natsuki hated the fact that she actually missed those burning rubies. She missed the dangerous tone of the woman, that piercing gaze and the everlasting feeling of being on the edge whenever the woman was around.
''Wha- whatt are you doing here?'' she mumbled incoherently while trying to rise to her feet properly.
Her moment of stupidness give birth to many laughter. Some hit on the blunette's back while other's took the time to give their lady welcoming embraces and kisses. Viola never averted her eyes from a certain pair of emerald though, and that alone resulted in goose bumps.
''Ara, the last time I checked I was still the lady of this house, did I miss the briefing were I was dethroned?'' the woman left the others and walked closer to Natsuki, her hips swaying tauntingly.
''No. Sorry-I mean I didn't mean to.'' Natsuki mumbled some more, not noticing the advances of the latter until the blond was right in front of her.
''Did I interrupt Natsuki's fun?''
The question sounded playful, but the tone clued danger.
''No.-hiccup-'' It might have been from the alcohol, but heaven and earth could swear the hiccup was due to fear. The fear of the unknown.
''Natsuki has been drinking I see. Well, since I'm still the lady of her and this house, will she not be welcoming me?''
''Welcome back.'' The blunette quickly replied, her head down, looking at her feet. She kept her gaze on her bare feet wiggling her toes. Any excuse not to look back to those rubies were acceptable.
''I did not expect a kiss, but no hug either?'' The woman continued with a whisper like voice.
''No-.''
Natsuki took a step back out of habit and looked back up only to find an amused face. But the more she looked the more she believed it was not amusement. It was irritation masked very well.
''I see. Care to come upstairs if your socializing is finished?''
Natsuki knew what the woman meant by her choice of words and somewhere deep inside she did not want to stand behind her actions. She did feel something close to guilt. Although there was no need to. Yes indeed, why did she had to feel guilty, she had done nothing wrong. If anything Viola had caught her doing stuff, exactly the way Viola pushed her into doing that… stuff.
''Yea-hiccup-a sure.'' To cover her future hiccups Natsuki decided to be short and precise with her words and actions.
The twins had risen up from the grass and had moved through the small crowd to kiss Nao back, all the while telling her the mischievous memories they made while the redhead was away. Nao patted them on the head and kissed them back with love, she had missed them after all. Those two girls were the apples of her eye, her flawless productions.
Viola turned around and signaled two guys remaining outside the door. The two men disappeared for a minute only to come back as five men, all of them carrying what seemed to be exquisite objects.
''Ara, I know all of you are waiting for this moment so I shall linger it no longer. Try not to fight among yourselves and share. And before I forget, Mai I have brought the boiler you have asked.''
''Oh in the name of France! Thank you Viola!''
''And may I say, it is better than the ones in your dreams.''
Viola smirked her way out of the crowd, giving a single last glance to the blunette signaling her to follow. Natsuki was dumbfounded to see everyone running toward the goods the men brought one after another. It seemed like Viola had returned with souvenirs. Very expensive, and shiny souvenirs. She minded not for the shiny objects and followed after the gorgeous woman moving towards the large stairs. She followed with a good distance behind. She appeared to be much calmer than expected, but her mind was in chaos.
She is back.
Where was she? And why didn't I know she was coming today.
Shit.
Oh, did they polish the stairs today? I swear I can see my reflection. Oh wait, that's not me.
Focus Natsuki. Focus idiot. She is right ahead of you and you're walking in to the lion's den drunk!
God just look at that sway of hips. Is she doing it on purpose?
You're so fucked, idiot.
WAIT! DON'T EVEN GO THERE! …. Phew. That was close.
''Ara, I did not know all Natsuki needed to show her affections were for us to be alone…''
''Huh?''
While lost in her world, Natsuki had failed to notice that the woman had come to a halt. Thus, she had failed to stop herself. She looked up, now realizing their dangerously close proximity.
''Shit. Didn't see you.'' She took a step back and looked sideways while Viola just smiled and walked into her room. Natsuki followed quickly but remained close to the door not really knowing what was expected of her.
''What was on Natsuki's mind? The twins perhaps?''
Viola arched her head back with a single raised brow. Natsuki tensed with the first question raised in privacy.
''Yes. No. Whats it to you.'' She turned her head sideways once again, hating herself for being so harsh. But something inside of her resented the idea of showing how she truly felt.
''True that what goes around in Natsuki's head is no concern of mine.'' The woman took her time undressing herself from her coat and jewelry.
''But,''
She turned to Natsuki now only clad in a white dress. The blunette felt her body temperature rose significantly.
''It is my concern if Natsuki made a choice in her sexual endeavors. I am the one to see your future in this house after all.''
Viola did not mean to play this card. This was not how she planned her arrival. For two weeks she had tried to rid herself of these taunting emeralds in front of her, to not see the flashings of the blunette's mimics and antics every time a matter of subject arose. She had tried many ways to no avail.
Finally she had given up and instead spent her days imagining what it would be like when she got back. If by any miracle Natsuki had missed her presence or how the encounter of their reunion would happen. She found great delight in imagining the red hue on the rebellious girl. Just yesterday she had confessed to herself that she was intrigued by the blunette.
Intrigued in a way that had not happened before… Just yesterday she had embraced the obvious fact that she had some sort of feelings for the blunette. What exactly they were she did not know. But wasn't making Natsuki hers the best way to learn?
Yes, Viola had thought of many things this past two weeks. But the least scenario she expected was to find Natsuki wrapped in a lustful moment with not one but two of her girls. Two of the most dangerous, to be precise. What had happened while she was gone she did not know. And not knowing boiled something inside of her.
It was her who had spent days trying to take Natsuki out of her shell and perhaps lure into her submission. She had tried talking, teasing, touching and by far kissing.
Yes. That was precisely what got Viola into playing her cards merciless. She had just kissed the girl. She had yet to have to chance to touch that body, and hold those marble breasts… She was gone two weeks! Two weeks and then just like that Natsuki had decided the twins merited the right?
''Nothing happened Viola.''
Natsuki's eyes changed to a thin line.
The blunette was by now a bit more sober, thus she changed her stance to a more aggressive one.
Just hearing Natsuki voice out her name with such aggression irritated the blond even more.
''That was not what I saw.''
''Then you saw wrong, because nothing happened!''
Both were taken aback by Natsuki's exclamation. Natsuki did not know if she had raised her voice to make Viola believe or herself.
''Are you to say you were not in a lust knot before you were interrupted?'' Viola could not keep the slight venom from her tone. She walked to the blunette and held her chin up so that their eyes met. And when that happened Natsuki felt her legs go weak with her strength. She decided to try the truth.
''I was drunk. I did not know what happened.'' She whispered, not breaking their eye lock.
''Our behaviors hold purpose, goal or object. No choice is made in a vacuum of pure rationality. But rest assured Natsuki, in our subconscious there are motivational factors that result in what we know as sexual behavior.''
''Back to lecturing then?''
Viola thinned her eyes and stood in contemplation. Deep inside she was relieved for Natsuki to give alcohol as an excuse. And she also knew she didn't really had the right to push the girl any longer.
Or push in that particular matter at least.
''Kiss me.''
Natsuki's eyes widened with the unexpected demand.
''What?''
''I said to kiss me.''
''Why?''
Viola smirked. Before, Natsuki would yell a no and jump back, as away as possible from the woman, but now she stood asking for a reason?
''To see if you've actually learned anything.''
Natsuki could not believe the woman! There she stood demanding to kiss her so perhaps she could be ranked higher than before? Or better than others!
Fuck you.
And with her inner chant Natsuki kissed her.
No it was more than a kiss. She captured the woman's face with both hand and forced herself onto her. Too shocked, Viola could not respond for a second. But it was only a second before she closed her eyes and pulled the blunette even closer.
Both felt their heart ripple as their tongues waltzed together. Their weight pressed to each other with every turn of a tongue. It was thirst, it was hunger, it was a need much delayed. Their hands held each other so both could not manage any control. Rosy red radiated from both of them as they stopped only for a second to continue more feverishly. Their lips kissed and sucked, and Viola was first to whimper in surprise when Natsuki's teeth bit her lower lip. Everything was so visceral. Viola's tongue soon earned multiple gasps from the younger girl. And with every silenced reaction, Viola felt the urge to awaken more. She wanted to taste more of the girl, to hear more of the sounds she made.
The kiss had not started slow, and it did not end slow either. Natsuki inhaled the woman's scent one final time before pushing the porcelain face away from her. She looked at the Viola who had her eyes closed. She looked so beautiful. Almost like a deity vacationing on earth. Slowly and breath-takingly the red irises showed themselves. It held mirth. A sign for Natsuki to understand she had taken the bait yet again.
Okay Natsuki, scoff now, worship later. Scoff now, worship later. Scoff now…
''Natsuki missed me.''
But damn she could not scoff.
''Keep telling yourself that.''
Her remark earned her a true smile from Viola, and Natsuki felt her cheeks burn even more if that was any possible. She quickly took a step back, and Viola let her. She slowly moved to the door, implying her leave.
''Yours is a capricious nature. Do you always blow hot and cold like this?'' Viola inquired with sly mirth.
Natsuki looked at the beautiful face once more. The dark blond hair had curled on her shoulders, her lips saturated high against her white skin. She decided she liked Viola best without make-up. She looked so ephemeral, so transparent and lucid at the same time.
''Accept me as I am… Only then can we discover each other.''
Natsuki did not question her words, nor did she wish to hear the possible witty reply. With a quick good night she walked through the door and closed it behind her. She inhaled a deep breath, her back still at the wooden frame. Her fingers trailed up to her lips. A small smile appeared on her lips before her brows crossed in contrast. She closed her eyes and shook her head side-ways.
So long peace and quiet. So long…
And she started her descend downstairs, stopping when she reached the balcony on the middle floor. She could see Nao, Yukino, the twins and many others still lying around and having wonderful time. She smiled.
Maybe you should start accepting some facts.
Like what?
Like the fact that you are thinking of staying. For real.
Perhaps I should second Suki. Perhaps I will.
Good. You're learning.
Shut up.
Viola remained looking at the now closed door. Her hand held her neck while the other reached for the straps of her dress. She smiled, content with herself. Perhaps she had not imagined this version of her return but it was pleasing nonetheless. She blew the candle near her bed stand and let the exquisite silk cotton sheets envelope her body.
Her tongue reached out to her lips to taste what was remaining of the blunette. Unknown to her, kissing Natsuki Kuga would be like burning her tongue completely. Everything thereafter doomed to taste bland…
-.
''Natsuki, go wake V will ya. I don't want her whining about her puffy eyes all day long.'' Nao patted the younger girl on the back with a grin and passed her by to help Mai with the preparations for a new day.
Natsuki had woken up in good spirits this morning. She did not question the reasons of her mood, for she felt light and happy. She didn't even mind nodding to Nao's request and quickly making her way upstairs. She stopped to receive couple good mornings from the newly waking girls and boys. And soon she stood in front of the wooden frame she came to know well. She twisted the old knob and didn't think for a second before walking in.
''Up! Let's go lady, up up up!''
She walked past the black-sheeted bed and quickly approached the windows closed by velvet curtains. She moved the dark curtains and the room was filled with light in an instant. Natsuki twinkled for a moment before her eyes adjusted to the lovely yellow. She turned to wake her Lady mercilessly but the moment her body turned around, it came to a halt.
There she stood unable to take her eyes of the sleeping goddess. Her blond hair was scattered all around the bed, and the woman looked far away from her composed self. Natsuki mused to find the woman's body spread all through the bed in a childish manner, both hands reaching for the opposite ends of the bed. The blunette's head dropped to her left slightly, analyzing the now defenseless woman in front of her. Apparently it took more that just opening the curtains to wake Lady Viola. A small smile appeared on Natsuki's face as she thought of the reasons of her smile.
Viola was like a dream, Natsuki thought. One of those dreams where you wake up with no clue of it but only the remaining feelings… She was taken by this dark, surreal and beautiful seraphic woman and it evoke more than one feeling inside of her. Which was one of her problems. She felt sucked in to a vortex of feelings haunting her every moment. This was one of those moments because she knew her previous feelings of hatred were nowhere to be found.
In fact, the feeling Natsuki Kuga currently felt was…playful.
She slowly approached the bed one step at a time and stopped as her legs touched it. She bent her body and closed her mouth next to Viola's ear.
''Yo. Wake up sleepy head.'' She whispered slowly only to get a small stir as a reply. Natsuki's smile turned into a grin as she took her finger and poked the woman on the sides.
''Yo, I said every tea leaf in the country was burned last night.''
''Huh?''
And that was it. Viola's sleepy head raised with urgency, her eyelids half open. The woman took a moment to understand what was going on. Was that Natsuki? In her room? Right in front of her? And what was it about tea leaves? And why was Natsuki turning red with the passing seconds…
Natsuki stood there blood forcing out of her eyeballs.
She.. She-I can see through that!
The mentioned 'that' was Viola's nightdress, which is to say a half transparent fabric that could put any one to an instant comatose.
''Ara, it is Natsuki.'' The woman purred melodically.
''Um. Wake up?''
The blunette stuttered not moving an inch.
Viola by now had wakened, but she absolutely resented to let this perfect moment get away.
''No. Come in here.''
The blond moved to her side just enough for another body to squeeze in. She closed her eyes faking sleep and waited like a lion ready to take down a gazelle.
Natsuki looked at the empty space inside the black sheets, and back at the woman. She did this couple of times before deciding against it. Instead her arms reached to Viola's sides with the aim of shaking the woman to wake up.
But her plan backfired when Viola captured her in one swift motion and pulled the blunette into her arms.
''Much better.''
''Viola-wait! No, let go.''
''Hushh. Keep still.''
And Natsuki did. She locked her eyes on the pastel ceiling, her face red from the excessive blood flow. She did her very best ignoring the arms that held her stiff body.
''You have to wake up.''
''Why?''
''Because Nao said so.''
''Hmm, Nao isn't the boss of me.''
The blunette cursed at the legitimate reason before she smiled when another popped up.
''Because you look ugly when you have puffy eyes.''
And that earned her Viola's now open eyes and raised brow.
''So Natsuki thinks I'm ugly is that it?''
''What no!''
Natsuki once again being the easy bait she is, turned her head to the side and froze when she felt the other woman's breath against her.
''Yet the first thing Natsuki implies is my lack of attractiveness. And so early in the morning too…''
If it weren't for the sly look on Viola's face Natsuki would easily take the bait once again.
''And the first thing you ask for is a boost to your ego. Now will you get up or shall I just inform downstairs of your absence for the breakfast.''
''Ara, no need to inform my absence Na-tsu-ki… They already know.''
''Wha-?''
''I rarely have breakfast so early in the morning. And Nao knows this the best. Thus it brings us to the real reason why you're here…''
''And what's that?'' Natsuki asked with some suspicion. In the back of her mind she take an oath to punish Nao.
''Your next lesson of course. Now, turn around.''
''HUH?'' Natsuki tried to move out of the bed but a firm grip held her. ''Stop it, leggo!''
''Na-tsu-ki…''
All needed was the small whisper and a blow to her ear, and a small 'eek' was heard from the blunette.
''Calm down.'' Viola's grip moved to her arms, as she felt herself sinking back in the bed, her heart beating frantically. Viola kindly turned her around, making her lie with her face sinking into the black pillows. She inhaled the fresh scent of Viola and closed her eyes, finding herself instantly calm and chaotic at the same time.
''Whaareyoudoinhm?'' she muffed through the pillow.
A smirk appeared on Viola's face as she raised her body from the bed and positioned herself sitting right on the blunette's back. She did not intend to answer any more questions from the blunette.
''Ara, we've tried talking but it seems Natsuki learns best by doing.''
''Hol-''
Natsuki's head shot up but it was put down in an instant.
''You'll only make it more enjoyable for me if you resist.''
The voice ringed right next to her ear and she shivered closing both eyes. The black pillow enabled her to drift into a black space, void of the reality.
''No more talking Natsuki. I want you to do a single thing, and that is for you to map my body out. Close those emeralds, for eyes can easily lie as do the mouth and the ear. But never what you feel… Map out what you're feeling with your skin.''
The blond slowly downed her body as she glided inside the bed still on top of the brunette. Natsuki instantly stiffed when she felt her lady's whole body with her whole.
''Inch by inch. Head to toe, I want you to picture it and forever carve into your memory…''
Shit, Natsuki thought to herself. She could feel those perky breasts as they slowly touched and untouched her back. She felt hands slowly moving from her arms to her upper back, to her neck, massaging slowly as they moved. She let out a hollow breath, moisturizing the fabric of her pillow.
Her toes curled, as she knew the slow, soft strokes were a prelude to something much more. She felt Viola raise herself again, her ears perked up to any sound the woman made while her brain visualized it in her black world. The woman was currently straddling her; she could feel those warm inner thighs held her locked. She heard Viola move around, and then…
Did she just… undressed? Ohmygo-
''Hnn.'' Came the abrupt reaction from the blunette as felt Viola now lying on top of her-naked.
''Feel your body, with mine. The muscles, the nerves... Feel what it does, like it hows.. Feel the spine of your body and it's bones… and the trembling smoothness that stands between us. There is only one thing that stands between two people, and it is our skin. But it is also the only thing that could make us closer…''
The woman glided downwards as Natsuki could only gulp. The blunette closed her eyes even more forcefully as she could somewhat feel the slow stroke of woman's shocking fuzz of her electric fur.
Viola found herself liking the small thrill of Natsuki under her. It was quite new. She rarely felt the need to touch another's skin and was surprised to like the sensations Natsuki's clothed body created. But wait, clothed?
Ara…
It seemed there was another step needed to be taken.
''Can Natsuki strip herself of her shirt?'' she asked with a lovely husky voice. The blond lied down fully, not moving. Her hands moved to grab the blunette's and were surprised when the blunette squeezed her hands back.
''I can't..'' the blunette whispered back, but Viola only smiled due to blunette's fragile tone. The woman knew the younger girl was very much affected by what was going on.
''Will Natsuki face me?'' she slowly lifted herself of the younger's back and moved backwards curling her legs under her. She waited as Natsuki slowly moved to get up.
And then she turned. Both locked their gazes on each other for a minute, but Natsuki broke the gaze to further look at the latter's now naked body.
All logic in Natsuki's brain detonated like the most violent canon bomb in mere seconds. Her eyes moved along the porcelain skin and stopped on the perfect breasts, which stood daringly with the color of fire pink. She could not let herself look below the woman's belly because she was scared she might faint from blood rush.
She looked at the smiling angelic face once again. It seemed Viola did not mind the blunette ogling her body. In fact Natsuki could swear the woman was enjoying it.
But why wouldn't she… She is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
Natsuki's was transfixed by the vision of golden hair framing the pale alabaster like porcelain face like on a doll's or better yet Greek grace. The stunning and captivating translucent ruby eyes slowly crawled towards her. And Natsuki moved slightly back till her back hit the bed frame.
Emeralds never took themselves away from the sly smirk in front of her. She gulped twice, her brain noticing every little detail about the woman. The small and angular nose that sat perfectly above the full luscious lips.
Natsuki felt the need to lick her own lips from the sudden thirst her mouth went through.
''I think I learn better by talking. I swear I do.'' She felt her heart could not go on with what was about to happen, so she decided to try any excuse that came to her mind.
''Ara, is it so.'' Viola slowly moved to straddle the blunette holding her face with both hands and moving it to fix to her eyes. ''The loophole in Natsuki's evasive request is that I teach better by showing.''
Fuck.
Natsuki watched the slow descend of the woman's lips. She closed her eyes expecting the burning touch but it came from a spot she did not expect. Viola couldn't help but kiss the small petite nose that breathed heavily. She moved to the rosy cheeks and took joy in feeling the heated skin of the younger girl.
Emeralds opened once again to see a smile dance about Viola's mouth provocatively. She could not run anymore. And she did not want to either.
So, Natsuki did what she wanted to do all along.
Her slim pale arms snaked around Viola's naked body. And she finally dared touch the woman's bare back.
Viola closed her eyes for a second before whispering back to the woman who knew held her in a fragile fashion.
''Does Natsuki know the meaning of the word dactylion? It is one of my favorites…''
''No.'' the blunette hushed back.
''It means the tip of your middle finger. Funny how human loves to name everything. Isn't it?''
''I guess.'' A confused Natsuki replied. Her hands became bolder and covered more area of the woman's body. She dared not lower her face because she knew she could not take the image of those breasts yet. So she preferred looking and closing more on the creamy neck in front of her.
Viola's arms rose to blunette's arms and her hands dived in to the midnight tresses she had come to enjoy very much.
''They name with good reasons Natsuki. Can you think why?''
''Not when you're on top of me, no.'' the blunette answered honestly and that earned a small giggle from the latter.
''Just imagine where that precise tip on your finger explores… It is the tip that can and will make you whimper, scream, jar and jolt.''
''How?''
And to that Viola grinned like a chesire cat.
''You'll see. Soon…''
''What is the purpose of these educations if you go all mysterious on me? I thought I was to learn.''
That surprised Viola as she moved to look at the blunette's face intriguingly. They had both failed to notice they were actually conversing in a very intimate situation. But converse nonetheless. Viola had intended a quick lesson before breakfast but now she stood realizing she was just enjoying her company.
And her company had just reminded her of her duties. True, she was just to teach this blunette while enjoying herself on the side. But when had her priorities turned around?
''Ara, does Natsuki mean to imply she is ready for more?'' Viola had not meant to tease the girl, it was an honest question actually. But the girl blushed nonetheless.
''No. But that never stopped you. So why stop now?''
Natsuki expected a sly laughter or a blood boiling comment from the woman, but all she get was a silent Viola. Natsuki looked at the naked goddess in her arms, who had her head slightly fall to the left.
''Because I do not want Natsuki to hate it.''
Why does she look so… But wait a second, maybe this could work. Genius Natsuki!
''I probably will. But isn't it my inevitable ending? Aren't I to be a plaything for your customers? Isn't woman and men bound to.. explore me to their heart's content with their dactylios or whatever?''
Viola stopped all action, thinking through the truth in blunette's words, and finding her temperature rise slightly with the thought of men and women exploring Natsuki just like she was.
For two minutes Natsuki clearly evidenced Viola thinking. Her eyes looked into the emeralds but they were somewhere else. Viola's thoughts concluded with final realizations.
And Natsuki's faith in being exempt from her inevitable ending died when Viola's thinking face suddenly stoned.
She can manipulate you. Just now you thought of changing your mind did you not. This girl has power over you. No. She can not have power over you. Never again will I let it happen.
…
Ara, it was close.
Viola decided Natsuki would be of no important after she got her way with the blunette. It was not right for her to feel anything for the younger girl. Yes, she was intrigued but it would fade away. It had to fade away. And after Viola would be the first to enjoy the girl's moans she would be an asset of the house, not an asset of hers.
''Ara, I believe Natsuki is right.''
Shit, Natsuki thought to herself. For a moment there she had really thought she could get away.
Viola raised her body from the blunette's body with a final small kiss, and took her ephemeral naked body out of the bed. She walked to her wardrobe and turned her head to the helpless blunette on her bed.
She smirked with what she was about to say,
''Tonight Natsuki… Tonight you shall learn it all.''
