Chapter 7:

The Next Morning:

Kitra awoke to find Bankotsu curled around her. She smiled while turning over and snuggled into him. She lightly traced a finger along his masculine jaw line. After several minutes, she sighed heavily and tried to get up.

Kitra's POV:

I lightly ran a finger along Bankotsu's jaw line thinking, "He sure is handsome, even more so than when we were kids. I wonder if he'll ever see me as anything more than his best friend's little sister, or his friend? I sure wish he'd see the woman I've become, but I doubt that's ever gonna happen! Damn get your head out of the clouds, Kitra girl! You're a realist- not a dreamer; at least, not anymore!" I sighed heavily and decided to try to get up.

Regular POV:

Bankotsu tightened his grip and murmured sleepily, "Not yet, I'm not ready to wake up just yet." Kitra sighed and settled back down. Bankotsu smiled, eyes never opening, and pulled her closer to his chest, then went back to sleep.

Kitra laid there and stared at the ceiling. Twenty minutes later she came up with an idea, smirked and kissed him fully on the lips. Bankotsu felt her kiss him and opened to allow her tongue inside.

Emboldened Kitra slowly slipped her tongue inside and began exploring the inside of his mouth as he'd done hers the other day. She pushed him onto his back and climbed on top of him without breaking the kiss.

Bankotsu's POV:

I woke up to soft lips on mine and opened my mouth. I felt a silky tongue slide inside my mouth and begin exploring my mouth. "Who's kissing me? Whoever she is, she sure knows how to wake a guy up!" I opened my eyes and saw that it was Kitra kissing me. I quickly pinned her beneath me and deepened the kiss.

Warning: Lemon here!

Regular POV:

Bankotsu opened his eyes and realized it was Kitra on top of him and kissing him. He quickly rolled over, pinning her beneath him and deepened the kiss.

Kitra moaned into his mouth and wrapped her arms around his shoulders instinctively. He again deepened the kiss and after another minute, he broke it in need of air. They gasped, trying to regain their breaths, with his forehead leaning against hers.

After regaining his breath, Bankotsu smirked and stated, impressed, "Damn Kitra, you sure know how to wake a guy up!"

She blushed and explained, "You wouldn't let me up and I was bored of laying there staring at the ceiling after twenty minutes. So I did the only thing I could think of to wake you up," embarrassed by her brazen act.

Bankotsu leaned in, capturing her lips in a quick, fierce kiss, which she eagerly returned again. He broke the kiss and leaned back. "I could definitely get used to waking up like this," he growled huskily, eyes gazing at her heatedly. She blushed and Bankotsu smirked.

Kitra nervously licked her suddenly dry lips. Bankotsu groaned and captured her mouth in a passionate kiss, which she gladly returned.

Bankotsu used the kiss to gently push her onto her back and began trailing butterfly kisses along her neck and collar bone. She sighed, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her. He kept kissing her neck and collar bone while his hands reached down and began deftly removing her kimono top.

Kitra moaned and arched into his touch. She panted, "Ban... I..."

"Shh," Bankotsu soothed, "just lay back and let me look at you, Kit." Straddling her hips, he threw her top on the floor. When she was with him the never ending loneliness stayed away, so he decided to stop fighting the explosive chemistry between them- for now.

She sat up and subconsciously moved to cover her naked and ample chest with her arms. Bankotsu, firmly but gently, reached out and removed her arms while ordering sternly, "Don't, Kit! Don't ever try to hide yourself from me!" His hungry gaze greedily drank in the sight of her naked, perfectly rounded and ample chest, and he also noted her face held a slight blush. He reached over and used one hand to gently cup a breast and the other to begin rubbing up and down her back in a soothing motion.

"Ban..." Kitra gasped and said, as he gently pushed her to lie back down on the bed.

He began to place kisses on the swells of her breast, paying special attention to the crevices of her cleavage. His hands were roaming all over her body. He propped himself up on one side of his body beside her, gazing at her a moment, then reached over setting her in his lap.

She moved him so they were both sitting up together, but not even that deterred him from his goal. He cupped her plump breasts in his hands as he molded his hands around them.

He flipped them instantly so she was now pinned beneath him. She started to writhe beneath him, and began to blush more intensely. She moaned a bit as he kissed the nape of her neck. He was barely hearing her, caught up in the mist of his own sexual desire.

He grabbed her ear lobe in his mouth and began a gentle massage on it, causing her to writhe in an unbearable pleasure. He could see her nipples and their reaction to the situation; he loved every moment of it. She felt herself being swept away by the foreign sensations coursing through her body.

She inhaled stiffly at the pleasure that Bankotsu was giving her by flicking his thumbs over her taunt nipples. He felt her arch gently off the bed. He groaned erotically as she started to rake her fingernails down his back. She began clawing at his skin.

She watched as he flashed his dark raven hair off. She reached up and ran her hands down the contours of his muscled abdomen. He laid over her kissing her neck, stopped and leaning up on his elbows.

He began to kiss her fully on the lips again. "I want to savor every beautiful inch of you," Bankotsu stated huskily, his beautiful sapphire blue eyes blazing with the intensity of his desire. He bent his head to kiss the pinnacle of her breast, which sent shivers of pleasures through them both. Pulling one of her nipples into his mouth, he began a playful tug of war with it, every now and then trailing wet kisses down the canyon to the next breast to do the same.

All this time, she was kneading her fingers through his silky hair. Soft moans occasionally escaped her lips, causing Bankotsu to smirk and drag it out longer. He began kissing her stomach while skillfully kneading her breast still.

Her moans began to grow louder and more confident. Fearing she would reach her release without him even having her, he stopped. He straightened up and deftly and swiftly removed her hakamas and underwear.

Laughing a bit to himself, Bankotsu kissed her on her forehead as he pulled her even closer. Rubbing his hand down her stomach to her thigh, he smiled appreciatively at her soft and curvaceous body. He began kissing her on the lips, as he began to touch her inner thigh ever so softly. She shuddered with pleasure as his sensitive touch made her feel hot and ready for him.

Bankotsu brought his hand to her spot and began to touch her there. Kitra took a sudden intake of air as she arched her back. He stroked her gently, making her grab his hair and pull; he loved it!

She was moist and ready for him. He placed one finger inside her to prepare her and her heat almost seared him. She moaned loudly as he worked his finger inside her, making her moan even louder.

Pulling away from her, he pulled his hakamas off. He too was now completely nude. She lifted her head to look at his manhood. She reached out and grabbed his shaft.

She nearly jumped back at the heat radiating from it, she didn't expect it to be so hot. She went to his face for a bonding kiss that Bankotsu used to lay Kitra back on her back again.

Still much involved in the kiss, he straddled her and made his way to her entrance. Opening herself for him, she wrapped her legs around his lower back and enjoyed the very sacred moment they were about to share. She felt him at her entrance and shut her eyes tightly, waiting for what they knew was about to come.

Bankotsu broke the kiss and looked at her. He broke through her barrier with one swift thrust and held himself, still waiting for her signal to continue, shock on his face. Kitra gasped as the pain hit, but luckily it began to ebb almost immediately; she kissed his neck and bucked her hips. He bent down to kiss her long and slowly, and she kissed him back.

While she kissed him, he began working in a rhythm. He couldn't help but emit deep husky moans to complement her already escalating moans. He smiled confidently, watching as she lifted her hips to match his rhythm. She clung to his shoulders desperately, digging her nails into his bare back. He slowed his thrusts and watched her as she had her release in one long exhale of breath, then she became fluid and pliant beneath him.

He continued his deep thrusts, using the sound of her shallow breaths as a meter to reach his own release. Soon he felt it coming, like a huge wave of pleasure crashing down on his head. One after another, the waves continually attacked him until he stopped his thrusting and let himself go inside of her.

He collapsed on top of her and she hugged him to her. He rolled over so they were on their sides, but he was still buried inside of her. They were panting fiercely, fighting to regain control of their erratic breathing.

Warning: End lemon!

After a few minutes, he hugged her close to his chest and informed her happily, "Kitra... I had no idea you were such a passionate lover!"

Kitra blushed and replied, "Neither did I."

Bankotsu rolled over so he was on top of her, kissing the tip of her nose and suggested, "Let's get up and eat, shall we?" Kitra nodded and he pulled out of her.

As she stood up and got dressed, Bankotsu said, "This morning, well, it was bound to happen eventually."

Kitra nodded. "I just don't want you to think any less of me because of it," she replied anxiously.

Bankotsu pulled her into his arms and stated, "I'd never think that way of you- I know you, Kitra! You wouldn't have done anything unless it meant something to you." eyes serious.

"I know," Kitra nodded and said, "but I also know-"

Not wanting her to finish that train of thought, Bankotsu suggested, "Let's go eat!" Kitra nodded her agreement. Bankotsu took her hand and lead her to the tavern.

Inside the tavern:

They entered holding hands and everyone in the room stared at them. Bankotsu put his arm around Kitra's hip and escorted them over to an empty table.

"Thank you, Ban," Kitra said. Bankotsu nodded and ordered breakfast.

Kitra whispered, "At least I don't have to worry about my first time being a rape anymore."

Bankotsu snapped his gaze to her and declared fiercely, "I would never have allowed it!"

"Ban, I know you don't-" Kitra started again to say.

He cut her off and declared, very pleased, "You, babe, are full of untamed passion and I'm thrilled that I was the first man to receive that passion."

"I always wanted you to be my first," Kitra whispered seriously.

Bankotsu looked shocked and said in awe, "You... you were saving yourself for me?" She blushed and nodded. Bankotsu smirked cockily.

The food arrived and they began to eat. Kitra cleared her throat and informed him, "Don't get a big head over it. I just hoped you'd be a considerate and gentle lover- which you were."

"And I will be again," Bankotsu smirked and stated smugly, pure male satisfaction filling his eyes.

"Maybe," Kitra countered, staring him dead in the eye. The last thing she wanted was to become one of his playthings.

"Oh no, babe, you aren't gonna give me a glimpse of that passion and then deny me having any more!" Bankotsu stated dead serious, holding her gaze.

Kitra raised a brow at him in question, and then informed him, "Just because we slept together once doesn't mean it will happen again."

Bankotsu stated cockily, "Admit it baby, you find me irresistible," knowing that she did,

"Cocky, that's for sure," Kitra retorted upset.

"Next time I'll make you scream my name over and over all night long, and trust me, Kit, there will be a next time," Bankotsu whispered seriously, eyes holding promise and pleasure.

"Don't be too cocky, Ban! You know how stubborn I can be," Kitra chided, her eyes dead serious.

"All I have to do is touch or kiss you and you'll melt for me," Bankotsu whispered seductively, confidence shining in his mesmerizing eyes. He smirked at her.

Kitra countered, "Not necessarily," not wanting to feed his already overlarge ego.

Bankotsu leaned over capturing her mouth in a dominate kiss and pulled her into his lap. She leaned into him. Bankotsu nibbled her earlobe and said satisfactorily, "You're melting for me now, babe."

Like she'd been doused with ice water, Kitra yanked away from him, glaring at him, and snapped, "Stay away, you Neijin!" moving out of his lap.

Bankotsu laughed and told her to eat. She finished her breakfast and announced she was going to bathe, alone!

Bankotsu chuckled and followed after her to keep her safe, just as he and Darius had done many times when they were younger.

At the hot spring:

Disgusted with herself for playing into his hands like all the other women he'd bed, Kitra quickly undressed, bathed, then re-dressed and climbed out. As she was heading back to the village, she noticed Bankotsu sitting on a rock and stormed over to him.

"Why did you follow me?" she snapped. "I made it very clear I was bathing alone," anger smoldering in her enticing eyes.

Bankotsu shrugged and answered, "I had to make sure you were safe."

Kitra huffed and said, "Whatever, I'm finished now, so bathe if you want!" about to storm away.

Bankotsu reached out and pulled her close to him saying seductively, "Right now the only thing I want, is for you to stop being mad at me," meaning every word of it.

Kitra pulled back and scolded, "Then stop acting so smug!" her pride stinging still.

Bankotsu sighed and responded seriously, "Kitra, I can't help it! I just had passionate sex with the most beautiful woman in the world, and to top it off she told me she's been saving herself for me- me of all people!" still amazed she'd been saving herself for him.

Kitra smiled and questioned, "You really think I'm the most beautiful woman in the world?" shocked by his words.

"Honey, you are the most beautiful woman in the world! You're also the only woman I'd ever allow to be in the Band of Seven! And you're the most passionate woman I've ever met!" Bankotsu answered dead serious, eyes showing nothing but the truth of his words.

Kitra walked over to him saying, "I suppose I could be nice then and stop being mad at you." smiling at her long time secret crush.

Bankotsu smiled and gave her a quick but thorough kiss, then said, "Good. Now let's get the guys and head out."

Kitra nodded and walked back over to the tavern. She and Bankotsu walked upstairs to their room and opened the door. Kitra began to collect her things, while Bankotsu woke up the guys and announced they'd be leaving soon.
