Chapter 11: Epilogue
Her back hit the soft mattress. Her predator looked at his long-awaited meal. He removed his shirt and slacks, and hovered upon her body. With one of his knees, he spread her legs wider, enough to have room to sit between them.
The predator bent his head, and his lips were inches apart from hers. He blew cold air upon them, and the prey let out a soft moan, but the kiss didn't come.
"Are you sure you don't want it?" he asked the lustful woman beneath him.
"I told you that I am not ready for that," she barely whispered. He chuckled. Their lips came closer to each other's, and the predator licked her bottom lip. She parted her lips in anticipation, wishing to be explored by him, but it didn't come.
Instead, his mouth went lower, trailing wet kisses upon her fleshy skin. While his playful mouth and tongue brought her to the edge of sanity, his clever hands stopped at her shirt, and started to unbutton it.
With a fluid motion, her blue shirt left her body, and joined his clothes on the floor. His predator eyes gazed at her almost naked torso, memorizing each inch of her skin. His gaze stopped at her two mounds, how they rose and fell with each breath of hers.
"You know," he started talking to her again, "if we won't do that, we won't do this anymore." He bent his head closer to her covered right breast, and ran his tongue over it. She arched her back, pushing herself towards his mouth.
"Are you okay with not doing this anymore?" he asked, before using his teeth to remove the hateful cloth item, and ran his playful tongue over her naked breast.
That was coercion, and he knew it all too well. But he was a predator; he had to take advantage of his prey's weaknesses.
While his mouth and tongue played with her sanity, his hands removed her jeans and underwear. She was completely naked under his mercy. His ministrations over her body stopped.
"It's been two months since we started keeping our secret. I think it's the right time to tell them. We don't want them to find out from other sources than us. Do you want this, or not?" he tried to reason with her for the last time.
What she should answer? What did this mean? Did this mean if she agreed to tell them, or if she wanted to continue what they were doing now? His hands were between her legs, touching her core. His skillful fingers inserting themselves in her passage and his mouth sucking her breasts made her mind go blank.
"Yes," she shouted. "Yes, I want this."
"Good girl!" he answered, pleased by her response. Little did she know that he had played her like a piano. All he'd had to do was press the right key to get the music he wanted.
Kyoko opened her eyes. The sound of her baby woke her up. She recognized her princess' cry. When she wanted to be changed, when she was hungry, or when she wanted to be taken in her arms, Kyoko knew them all.
Kyoko went into the kitchen to prepare her formula, and then went to the princess' room. The small princess stopped crying when the door opened. With her big, blue eyes, she looked at her mother and then to the bottle. Kyoko took the one year old girl in her arms and started to feed her. Unlike her father, Ayame wasn't picky about her food. She didn't let a drop of milk stay in her baby bottle.
While the baby ate, Kyoko sang a baby song. The baby looked at her mother with her big eyes, and smiled. Ayame's eyelids became heavier, and she fell asleep. Only then did Kyoko put her in her crib and go back into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Before taking out the products from fridge, she turned on the TV.
"Good morning, Japan! Today, the weather will be nice. It's perfect for a walk in nature. Today, we won't talk about politics or the economy. We will leave this pleasure to Tanaka-san and her guest. Instead, we will talk about the latest news from the entertainment world.
Great news for Fuwa Sho fans: my dears, he's free again. Apparently, his relationship with Mimori-san ended. Some say she was tired of being called 'Pochiri' by Fuwa. If this was the reason, Mimori-san, you're a fool. 'Pochiri' is a good nickname. But others say that Fuwa-san couldn't forget his former lover. These people say that Mimori-san was just a replacement for that woman."
"But who's that mysterious woman? Who stole Fuwa-san's heart and doesn't intend to give it back?"
"Rumors say it's Kyoko-san. You know, Tsuruga Ren's wife."
"His wife had an affair with Fuwa-san? My poor Ren!"
"No, of course not. Who would cheat on Ren with Fuwa? No offense, Fuwa, but a sane woman wouldn't give up on Ren to get you. My inside info says that Fuwa-san is in love with her.They were childhood friends, but somehow, he screwed up that friendship. When he realized how amazing she was, it was too late. Her heart was stolen by Ren."
"Talking about Ren is spicier than Fuwa-san. Any news about our favorite actor?"
"What kind of news? 'Cause we have plenty. First, the feature movie 'I Love My Wife' is having great success. The selling is great. Second, he was damn hot at the movie premiere. I don't like to say it, but his wife is beautiful too, and they look great together. Third, I heard he will play in a drama with his wife as his main co-star. Ren fans, my inside info says that it's a romantic drama, and that a lot of love scenes will occur."
"Any more news?"
"I have more. Forth, Tsuruga-san and his wife were caught in the act."
"In the act? You're saying that they were caught while they were making out?"
"Yes, he and his wife were caught in the parking lot. They were kissing more deeply than on the screen. I think this picture of them speaks for itself."
Kyoko blushed when she saw the picture. It had happened a week ago. Ren had finished his work early, and came to fetch Kyoko. For months after the press had found out about them they had followed them like leeches. But on that day, they had discovered that they were alone in a huge parking lot, with not another soul around.
Ren couldn't help his desire to pin her against the car and kiss her. Just a kiss was enough to make her forgot where they were, and forget about themselves.
Her hands bent his head lower to have better access to his mouth. His right hand went under her shirt and under her bra, groping her naked breast, teasing her perk nipple. While his right hand was busy with her top, the other hand went under her skirt and kneaded her bare thigh.
Kyoko moaned in pleasure at his actions. That was the moment when they had observed a white light, and heard the snap of a camera. They were caught in the act, with Ren's hands under her shirt and skirt. Kyoko was pleased the camera flash had come before her hands could start to unzip Ren's slacks, but it was too embarrassing to see her lustful face on the screen.
"But this is a sign that they love each other, and that passion still exists between them. But I must say something to the photographer: why the hell did you have the flash on? Due to your mistake, we won't get more exciting pictures with them. Every night, I dream of this lustful Ren, and I wish to be in his wife's place."
"Any other pictures of him?"
"Yes. I have one of him, his wife, and his daughter at the zoo. I must say, that child is an angel, and dressed in that rabbit costume, she's adorable. Tsuruga Ren is a good father. My dear Japanese, I must admit that the luckiest woman in Japan is Kyoko-san. The father of her child is amazing, and more, he's good in bed. No, I never was in his bed, unfortunately, but seeing Kyoko's reaction at his touch (in this picture), he must be divine."
"Unfortunately, our time is over. It's time for Tanaka-san and her news."
Cough. Cough.
Kyoko turned around to see from where the noise was coming from. In the kitchen door frame was Ren, with a lot of papers and magazines in his hands.
"Morning!" he said to his wife, and came over to kiss her. "Sorry for waking up late. Due to our activity last night, I was kind of tired."
Kyoko blushed, remembering all the things they had done the previous night. She was too ashamed to face her partner in crime.
"Saw the news. I must say, you're sexy in that picture," he continued to talk.
"Morning to you too." She turned around to finish breakfast. "Go into the living room! Breakfast is almost ready."
They were somewhere in the middle of their breakfast when Kyoko started to talk.
"Ren, we must set some rules." With big, questioning eyes, he looked at her. "From now on, no more indecent behavior in public. We can be seen, and they can snap a picture of us."
"Like this?" And he showed her the picture with them in the parking lot. Kyoko wanted to take the magazine, but Ren was fast enough to avoid her. "I like how you look in this picture, hungry for my touch. I think I will have this framed."
Shocked, and mad at his confession, Kyoko jumped at him, trying to take and rip the magazine into pieces. But his hands were too long, hers were too short, and so her actions failed lamentably. Kyoko ended up beneath him, with no chance of getting free.
"I really like how you look in this picture. I don't any others like this, with you eager to be touched more. Honestly, I wanted to take you there in that parking lot, against my car. Looking back, I really hate that photographer," he whispered huskily in her ear.
He turned her on. A pool started wetting her panties. She looked at the clock, and sighed. "It's not that I don't like the picture. It's that we were caught." He smirked at hearing her words.
"So, if we tried this again in an empty parking lot, you would agree to let me take you there, against my car?"
His voice seduced her. If their presence at work wasn't needed at 8AM (45 minutes from then), she would have let him take her on their living room floor.
"We will be late for work. I can't play with you, honey." Kyoko freed herself, and stood up on her feet. "And don't forget, we need to be in the boss' office at noon. I will take a shower while you clear the table."
Around 12PM, they (Takarada Lori, Kyoko, Ren, Yashiro, and Kanae) were ready to begin their meeting. The same as with more than a year ago, this meeting had been requested.
All five were feeling strange. The atmosphere which surrounded them seemed familiar. The silence surrounded them for a while, until one of the members of the young couple started to talk.
"I know it's strange for us to be put in this situation, but we have a moral duty to tell you."
"To tell us what?" Lori asked.
"We avoided this for two months, and it's time for us to be honest with our close friends. To tell you the truth, we… we…" The young female looked at the man next to her. After five minutes when he only repeated "we," she started to get annoyed.
If she let him try to say it, they would be there a long time. With how things were going, the next hour would find them in the same room, on the same couches, and with the same word coming out of his mouth. She had to take the lead.
"We've been dating for two months!" she shouted.
"What?" the other formed couple asked.
"Congratulations! My second love me member has graduated!"
Author note: This is all..."After wedding" finally took an end. Some clarifications: the lemon scene doesn't belong to Ren x Kyoko, it belongs to Kanae x Yashiro. I decided to do this in case that I will make an oneshot for them. Currently I don't have any in mind, but you never know what will happen.
I don't know when I will write another skip beat story since I am busy with others, but my next one will be Sherlock. I will start to write at it when the time will come.
I want to thank to all of you who reviewed my story and added it at their favorites and to the ones who added me at their favorite authors.
