The couple explored the pool area from the outer edges, and amongst the thicker of the foliage to use as cover so they wouldn't have to separate. If they walked out in the open, the other members of the host club would most surely fall upon them and persuade them to join in with their games.

So Haruhi and Kyoya wandered along the pathways until they found the perfect spot.

Deeper into the 'jungle' was a quiet, idyllic pool, surrounded on all sides by the foliage so it truly felt like they were in paradise. The only sound that seemed to exist was the gentle chirping of birds and the quiet bubbling of the nearby Jacuzzi.

They both looked at the Jacuzzi then looked at each other with small grins. Checking to make sure they were alone, they found themselves to be blissfully at peace.

Haruhi made the first move, and climbed in gingerly before placing herself down with a sigh of bliss in the hot water. Kyoya followed eagerly after her.

Sitting across from Haruhi, the two figures sat across from each other and just enjoyed their company, feeling content.

Kyoya cricked his neck, raising a hand to try and rid his neck of the tension built up from work. Hunching over a laptop or notebook for most of his day was definitely not good for his posture, he noted absentmindedly, even if it was a necessary part of his day. Haruhi noticed with concern and stood up before making her way over to him.

Kyoya looked up in surprise.

"Haruhi?"

Haruhi ignored him and sat on the upper edge of the Jacuzzi before swinging one leg round so that Kyoya was in the middle of her legs, just below her.

"What are doing…?"

Kyoya started to turn round but Haruhi just caught his head in her hands and turned it back gently.

"You would think you rich bastards would remember to get a massage once in a while to help with your stiffness" she murmured.

Before he could reply, her hands started to kneed out the tense muscles in his neck and shoulders. She frowned slightly at how tight his muscles seemed to be, and decided he should take a break more often. Even if she had to throw his laptop into a cage of otakus'.

Kyoya tried to take Haruhi's advice and just relax. Her hands were effectively working out the knots between his shoulders and Kyoya let his head flop back into Haruhi.

Haruhi glanced down and blushed at where his head was leaning against… right between her thighs, but she just bit her lip and continued with her work.

After about 15 minutes of working on his back Haruhi had finally finished and glanced down with a smile. Kyoya looked so peaceful; eyes closed, a contented smile graced his feature that matched his deep, even breathing.

Haruhi placed her hands on his nape before leaning down and giving him a kiss, thinking that he was asleep. Hence she jumped when she felt him respond, moving his lips smoothly against hers, his arms attempting to reach round and clasp her in his arms.

Seeing as she was behind him, however, this became rather difficult, this realization resulting in a small growl of frustration.

Haruhi broke the kiss with a startled look and was even more surprised when she found herself suddenly swung round and sitting directly on Kyoya's lap.

"That's better" he murmured.

Haruhi's lips formed a small 'o' before melting into a smile.

The smile disappeared as she jumped from a rustling coming from the bushes. Kyoya's head swiveled to the place quickly but they were both relieved when it was only another couple trying to find a spot. Said couple walked by leisurely, not without the woman giving a few flirtatious glances in Kyoya's direction when the man wasn't looking.

Kyoya and Haruhi both noticed.

A small frown appeared on Haruhi's face, her eyes hardening as she tried to warn the woman away with mental death threats.

Kyoya returned his attention to Haruhi, and a chuckle escaped his lips when he realized what was provoking her sudden ire.

"My my, the great composed Haruhi is jealous?" he teased.

Haruhi became flustered '"I am NOT jealous" she said as she rose, beginning to go back to where she had first sat. However, she was prevented as an iron-like vice gripped round her wrist.

She turned to find it was Kyoya's hand holding her back.

"Where are you going, Haru-chan?" he smirked as he quoted Honey's nickname for the natural host.

Too quick to comprehend, Haruhi found herself back in his lap.

"Maybe to prevent any further mix-ups about who exactly we are devoted to, we could mark each other" he said slyly.

"… A tattoo? Really Kyoya you want to go that far? Besides unless you have suddenly become proficient as a tattoo artist I doubt there is anywhere nearby –"

Haruhi's speech was cut off as Kyoya flicked her on the forehead.

"Baka. I was thinking something more impermanent?"

Haruhi thought for a minute. My mark? What kind of mark could I make if not…Ah, love bite perhaps? Seeing his smile, she knew she was on the right track.

Slowly leaning forward, she placed her lips against his neck, giving a small kiss before gently biting on the soft skin, sucking insistently.

Kyoya shuddered with pleasure and leant his head even further back, giving his lover room to work as his hands clasped round her waist like steel vices.

When Haruhi was done, she leaned back only to find Kyoya quite flushed and panting. The shadow king, flushed! It was a sight.

He quickly stared at her with a heated gaze and pulled her into him, their lips crashing together.

"My turn" he murmured when they both broke for air.

He bowed his head to the base of Haruhi's neck, Haruhi turning her head a bit to give Kyoya better access.

His lips slowly grazed her skin before he bit her gently. Haruhi gasped and held Kyoya tighter, trying not to be too loud. Unfortunately a pleasurable whimper escaped between her lips.

Kyoya smiled against her neck when he heard the small sounds coming from Haruhi. He returned her earlier favor dispersing little nips in between kissing and sucking her neck.

He finished with a kiss and surveyed the small bite mark at the base of her neck, claiming her as his. His body jolted as his member leapt at the thought of Haruhi wearing his mark, something that he noted on with interest.

Both of them were panting gently. Haruhi brought her hands up to Kyoya's face and guided him towards her lips. The couple shared a chaste kiss before it got more heated. Haruhi's tongue stroked Kyoya's, who then proceeded to explore her mouth, delving deeper inside of her.

His hands wandered round to her back where the strings to holding her bikini top lay across her silky skin.

Kyoya's long fingers fingered the knot there and started to untie it, wanting more, needing more, needing to go further. All other thoughts flew from his head – he didn't think about where they were, or who they were there with! Only did he think about Haruhi, and the cursed know that held up this irritating bikini top.

Haruhi felt what he was doing and blushed profusely, not from the action but simply from where they were.

She broke the kiss and gasped.

"Kyoya!"

"What is it" he muttered against her neck. He looked up to find Haruhi's blush gracing her features and smirked

"Are you quite alright, dear? Or is the heat simply getting to you?" he asked.

"You know very well what it is Mr. Otoori" she retorted, trying to calm her body's reaction.

"It might be prudent to try to remember where we are and who is quite possibly near us right now?"

Kyoya gave a small shrug. "We are quite secluded where we are now, you have no need to worry…"he again tried to reach for Haruhi's bikini ties.

"No!" she reprimanded.

Haruhi slapped away his wandering hands which were again trying to undo her bikini.

"Haruhi!" he pouted out of character "stop being impossible!"

"Oh really, am I being that impossible? Just because I don't want to take my top of in a semi-public area." A flash of inspiration hit her.

Standing up Haruhi climbed out of the Jacuzzi with Kyoya following, unwilling to let her go somewhere without him.

She stopped suddenly and whirled around with an innocent look.

"Alright then, if you really want me to…' she said as her hands reached around to get to the bikini straps.

Kyoya's eyes eagerly followed.

"However, since I am just so impossible I guess that I am going to have to find different company".

Kyoya's eyes widened and then hardened slightly at the thought.

"Possibly Hikaru and Kaoru, they don't say I am impossible.." Haruhi continued as she turned around and was about to walk when she was pinned against one of the artificial palm trees.

"Don't. You. Dare" he threatened.

Haruhi let a giggle escape between her lips and Kyoya realized that she had only been toying with him.

Knowing that he now knew she was joking Haruhi tried to leave but was unsuccessful, seeing as her wrists were being held above her head in Kyoya's grip. She glanced up at her captive hands and then in Kyoya's eyes, a little wary.

"Kyoya…" she started but was cut off as his lips took charge of hers. He pressed her up against the tree even more, so that Haruhi could feel every inch of him, making her shudder.

Kyoya leaned back and smiled at their breathlessness

"Shall we go meet the others now?" she asked, still a little out of breath.

He nodded his ascent and they both made their way back to the central area

They found Tamaki fighting against Hikaru and Kaoru in the tidal pool (not that the 3 actually knew it was the tidal pool) splashing each other.

Mori was swimming in one of the 'rivers' with Honey balancing on his back.

Screeches were heard as a wave hit Tamaki, Hikaru and Kaoru. They all got absolutely drenched and were found in a heap near Kyoya and Haruhi, having been swept there by the wave.

Haruhi giggled before it evolved into outright laughter. She held her stomach as she bent over still laughing and Mori, Honey and Kyoya all smiled at the natural host, glad that she was having a good time.

The twins and Tamaki , still lying on the floor gazed up at their laughing princess.

"You are …" –gasp- " so" –gasp- "funny! Hahahahhahaaaa" Hikaru and Kaoru untangled themselves and stood on either side of Haruhi, draping themselves across her with devilish smiles.

"She thinks I am funny! O how lovely this world is! I have found meaning in entertaining my beautiful daughter! Ha ! She thinks I am funny! I am the best father in the whole world! Where is my medal?" these words came pronounced from Tamaki who stood gazing up into the sky triumphantly.

"She thinks your funny…"

"Yeah, funny looking!" jaunted the twins.

This only made Haruhi laugh harder as Tamaki's face went purple.
