:There will be strong sexual content towards the end of this chapter; intended for mature readers!:

Kenpachi held onto to Linake's hand as they made their way back from their early lunch. He knew that when the sun set his woman would want to head back up on top of the rock, as he called it. Kenpachi guessed he would go with her this time, since he wanted to spend time with her. He had yet to see the telescope thing in action, he really didn't even know what the hell the thing did.

"Linake!" an excited female voice called out to her.

Kenpachi turned his gaze and he couldn't hold back his amusement as he saw Amaya running up to them with a grin on her face. The petite blonde's cheeks were flushed red from her exertion as she closed the distance and threw her arms round Linake's shoulders.

Linake smiled wide and Kenpachi let go of her hand so that the two women could embrace. He could see that this was a moment of happiness between the two friends.

"I just heard the news! I am so happy for you two!" Amaya gushed as she stepped back.

The woman took him by surprise when she turned and wrapped her small arms around his waist and hugged him too. He awkwardly lifted his hand and patted her between her shoulders not really knowing how else to respond.

"It's okay. I'm sorry, I should have known that would make you uncomfortable." Amaya shook her head as she dropped her arms and stepped away from him.

"I just couldn't hold back my excitement. I was looking for you earlier, Linake. You said we would catch up today." Amaya rambled.

Linake chuckled at Amaya's excitement.

"I guess the news is out then?" Linake asked.

Amaya rolled her eyes.

"The head captain has been telling anyone who will listen. I just happened to be walking by Squad 1 when he was telling Nanao." Amaya answered.

Linake shook her head but she had to admit she wasn't surprised.

Amaya laughed.

"Sorry. I am having a hard time blocking you out. Yes! I want to come with you and Rukia to pick out a dress for you. I can't believe the head captain was so nice to let you mix traditions like this." Amaya replied to Linake's unspoken thoughts.

Linake half-laughed.

"It's been a while since I've had you picking my brain." Linake teased.

Amaya smiled as the two women shared Linake's intimate thoughts. Linake wasn't stupid she knew what Amaya wanted to know-How had kenpachi asked her?

Amaya's eyes widened and she turned her gaze to Kenpachi who had decided to turn from the two women. She could see his profile as he seemed to be staring out in space lost in his own thoughts. Amaya caught a glimpse of what was on his mind, but she pulled herself back not wanting to pry on him.

Amaya pulled Linake into another hug and whispered to her.

"He really does love you, Linake."

Amaya pulled back from the embrace before Linake could respond.

"Well, let me know what day you decide to take this trip so I can speak to my Captain about it. I think it will be a lot of fun!" Amaya spoke loud enough to bring Kenpachi back from his inner monologue.

"I will. I just hope I can find something decent enough." Linake replied.

What Kenpachi couldn't hear was that Linake was worried about finding something he would like her in. Amaya thought it was sweet, but she understood, if she and Sosuke were to ever marry, she too would want to look good for him.

"We will. I am sure between all of us girls we will find you something that looks amazing, plus, we could always drag Ichigo along for a males opinion." Amaya suggested.

Linake laughed at the thought.

"I think I'll pass on that last part, just us girls." Linake replied.

Amaya smiled.

"I won't keep the two of you any longer, I know you have things you to need to figure out, send a message to my squad for me once you do, okay?" Amaya asked.

"Sure thing." Linake replied.

Amaya smiled up at Kenpachi meeting his gaze before she walked in the opposite direction, back towards the squad 2 barracks.

"I can't believe she actually hugged you." Linake laughed.

Kenpachi smiled down at her and he had to admit, he'd probably looked as awkward as he'd felt. He wasn't used to having anyone be so open with affection for him. The only one he really felt comfortable touching or being touched by was Linake.

"Yeah…not a big deal." He replied as he reached for her hand again.

Linake laced her fingers back with his and the couple began the walk back to their own squad's barracks.


Linake sat reclined back on the giant futon that she and Kenpachi shared. She could hear the sound of water running in the bathroom as she propped the paperwork she had been working on for the past two hours on her knees. Her hand was starting to cramp up on her from holding the pen in her hand too tightly for so long, but she was determined to get them finished. Linake turned her head and leaned forward, she could see Kenpachi leaning down to plug the tub up and she smiled as she realized he was about to take a bath, the man loved his baths!

Linake turned her attention back to the page in front of her and continued to fill out the questions, she only had about twelve more to fill out and she would be done. Thankfully some of the pages had only required a signature for verification and that had made the process a little bit more bearable.

Kenpachi stepped back out into the bedroom and made his way over to Linake. She had been sitting in the same position for a little over two hours. He had fallen asleep next to her for about an hour and when he had woken up she had still been hard at work. Now he wanted her to come and soak in the tub with him to take her mind off of the task. Kenpachi walked over to the futon and took a seat next to her. He reached his hand out and slid it down her forearm to get her attention. She looked up at him with serious eyes.

"I only have three more pages, let me finish them, please." She stated.

"You've been at this for a while now, three pages won't matter." Kenpachi countered.

Linake let out a frustrated sigh.

"I don't like stopping when I'm so close to being finished." Linake replied as she looked back down at the paper on her lap.

"I get ya. How many questions are left?" He asked as he laid down next to her.

"About 12." She replied.

"Alright, come into the bath when you're finished then." Kenpachi demanded.

Linake nodded as her brow furrowed. He could tell his interruptions weren't helping her mood and he regretted his earlier over anxious behavior. He just wanted their wedding to be official, he wanted his woman to be his, but he didn't want to see her stress herself out over the process. At least she had gotten something to eat earlier, he wouldn't have to worry about her forgetting to eat later.

Kenpachi sat up and pushed himself to his feet deciding to let the woman have her way. He could understand the satisfaction she would feel once she finished, and then her attention could be focused on him. Kenpachi stepped back into his bathing area and pulled the tie to his Shihakusho free and let the top fall from his wide shoulders, his bottoms followed. He stole another peek at Linake through the open door before he walked over to the large tub and stepped into the hot water.

Kenpachi lowered himself down and let out a sigh as he leaned back feeling the hot water go to work on his stiff muscles. The training program him and his men had been doing the past three months was a bit more grueling then the previous one. He found it funny that the new, more difficult exercises had come from his woman.

At first he had been hesitant to try them, but after she had given him a demonstration of the exercises she referred to as calisthenics. He had saw the appeal of how they would help strengthen and keep his body toned. Once he'd gotten over feeling like a jackass doing the movements he had introduced the new program to his men.

Even Ikkaku had laughed at first, thinking that simply using just your own body weight wouldn't be nearly as effective as using some form of weight, and Kenpachi would have agreed if he hadn't woken up the next day with a sore ass and thighs after only doing two sets of thirty deep squats. His woman had made a lot of small changes for him and his squad, but he found himself looking forward to hearing her suggestions on how to make it better. It made him feel closer to her and he liked the way her face lit up for him when he took the time to hear her out.

Linake let out a relieved sigh as she placed the last page down on the stack. She'd managed to get it all finished just as the sky was starting to turn pink outside. Normally she would start preparing for her nightly sky exploration up on top of Sokyoku Hill, but she was feeling a bit more warn out than usual.

Linake forced her body to lay down flat on the futon as she stretched her stiff muscles, her hand and forearm throbbed from the repetitive movement, her neck and shoulders felt stiff as a board too. Linake heard the sound of sloshing water as Kenpachi leaned forward and turned off the tap. She pushed herself up from the futon and pulled at her Shihakusho.

The thought of being wrapped up in Kenpachi's strong arms surrounded by steaming hot water was more than appealing to her as she walked inside the room. Linake found him leaning back with his eyes closed, he'd taken his eye patch off again, something he had started to feel more comfortable doing around her. Linake let both her top and bottoms fall down to the floor and then stepped out of her panties before she climbed over the side of the tub. Kenpachi opened his eyes as he felt her enter the water.

"You finished?" He asked.

"Yeah, finally." She nodded.

Kenpachi reached out and gripped her by the arm pulling her into his body. Linake smiled allowing him to envelope her in his strong arms as she sat down on his thighs and laid her head down on his shoulder.

"You look beat." Kenpachi whispered in her ear as she felt his hand rub down her back.

"I am. Will you rub me?" Linake asked him.

"Yeah, where do you need it?" Kenpachi asked her.

"My neck and shoulders." She answered.

Kenpachi lifted her up in his arms making her straddle his lap and placed her head back down on his shoulder. She felt him pull her hair out of the way before his fingers gently dug into her sore muscles. Linake groaned from the pleasure of his touch.

"Why are you so tense, woman?" He frowned, his fingers pressing into the knots that had formed in her shoulders.

Linake winced as he went to work on them for her, trying his best to help her relax.

"I think it has more to do with using the telescope than anything, I have to hunch down in order to look through that model." Linake explained.

"Why not take a chair?" Kenpachi asked her.

Linake sighed.

"I didn't feel like dragging one up there." She admitted with a half-laugh.

"I'll bring one up there for ya then. I don't remember you being tense last night though." Kenpachi countered.

Linake moaned as his fingers pressed into the sides of her neck, he could feel the tightness of her muscles start to loosen as he increased the pressure.

"I was a little stiff last night, but also preoccupied." She laughed.

Kenpachi sighed as he realized it was probably the position she had forced herself to stay in to fill out the paperwork that had made her back knot up on her. She was bad at carrying her stress in her neck and shoulders, he'd caught her many times sitting with her shoulders raised and tensed for no reason. It annoyed him, so he'd taken it upon himself to start rubbing her when he caught the habit.

"I think I'm going to stay in tonight, I'll go back to my stargazing tomorrow night." Linake stated.

Kenpachi continued to work his way from her neck down her shoulders to the middle of her back. His brow rose when he felt her turn her head and start kissing the side of his neck.

"You wanting something else now, woman?" Kenpachi teased her as he continued to rub her down.

He could hear her soft moans in his ear and it always reminded him of being inside her when he massaged her, the moans sounded the same to him.

"I'd probably be useless to you right now." Linake groaned.

Kenpachi laughed low in his throat.

"You could never be useless. I know exactly what buttons to press to get you riled up." He boasted.

Linake smiled, knowing he was right.

"I just like kissing you." Linake replied.

"I like it when you kiss me." Kenpachi growled.

Linake pushed herself up from his chest and met his gaze as he continued to massage her, his fingers pressed deeply into her lower back easing the ache. She reached up wrapping her arms around his large shoulders and raised herself on his lap, then brushed her lips across his prominent brow and down the bridge of his nose. Linake paused for a second, but then allowed herself to kiss the tip of his nose before she captured his lips with hers.

Kenpachi continued to caress his woman's back as she kissed his face, he couldn't help the way his body responded to each affectionate brush of her soft lips. There were times when he felt like he didn't deserve such a sweet woman, but, then he remembered that he didn't give a shit! Linake was his, she had made that decision the minute she'd stolen her first kiss from him, although he had to admit, kissing her was a lot more enjoyable without her flames. Kenpachi raised his hand to the sides of her face and cupped her jaw gently deepening the kiss, flicking his tongue between her lips. The woman's taste was always so sweet, like warm honey.

Kenpachi's body stirred for her as he felt the emotion behind her kiss, but he chose to ignore his arousal just this once, with every caress of her sweet lips he could feel the woman's love for him pouring out, and even though he wanted to make love with her again, he wanted her to see he was capable of showing her his love in return by forcing himself to show some patients and let her decide how far to take it this time.

Linake sighed against Kenpachi's lips before she pulled back from his kiss, she was surprised that he was holding back from his arousal, usually he would take control by now, pulling her up against him to let her know he wanted her. This time she could feel his thick erection pressing up against her, but he seemed like he was content with just letting her kiss him, almost like he was waiting for her to make the first move.

Linake drug her lips over his jawline and she heard his deep exhale of breath as she tilted her head and kissed a trail from his jaw all the way down the side of his neck down to his chest. She felt his hands slide down her back and grip her by the hips, but still, he didn't thrust up against her, instead he held himself still, like he wanted to see her next move.

Linake pushed her body backwards in the water forcing him to let go of her hips as she lowered her lips to one of his nipples and lightly flicked her tongue across. She heard another rough exhale from him as his left hand lifted and buried into her long auburn hair taking a handful, but he didn't pull. Linake took it as a sign of his enjoyment, so she continued, taking the opportunity to tease him for once, like he did to her. She figured she would let him see how it felt to be on the receiving end of his style of foreplay as she grazed over his nipple with her teeth.

Kenpachi growled low in his throat and she felt his cock twitch against her stomach. Linake lifted her gaze to him and saw his expression. His brow was furrowed as he took in deep excited breaths between his parted lips.

"Sit up on the edge of the tub for me." Linake demanded.

Kenpachi's brow lifted at her request but he let go of the grip on her hair and used his strength to lift himself up onto the edge of tub like she told him to. Linake stayed on her knees in from of him and lifted her hands running her fingertips down his taunt stomach, she leaned in and pressed her mouth over the contoured muscle and when she flicked her tongue against him she felt those muscles twitch in response. Kenpachi sucked in a breath as Linake continued to kiss a trail down his body. When she got to his lean hip she took a cue from him and bit down gently dragging her teeth across his skin.

Kenpachi chuckled lowly.

"Are you turning the tables on me, woman?" he asked.

Linake didn't lift her head or even stop to answer him, she could tell by the humor in his voice that we was enjoying her having a little bit of control over him and she knew he wasn't going to expect her next move. Linake dropped down and took his cock in her hand. She felt him pulse against her palm as he sucked in another breath.

"What are you doing?" Kenpachi asked her.

Linake leaned back and looked up at him, her dark blue gaze heavy with her own arousal, teasing a man like Kenpachi was an aphrodisiac of its own. His light green gaze met hers and she kept eye contact as she lowered her lips to the crown of his cock. She watched his brow rise as if surprised by her intent. Linake teased him a little bit more letting him feel her hot breath before flicking her tongue out and tasting him.

"Fuck, Linake…are you gonna suck me off!?" Kenpachi growled.

Linake didn't feel the need to answer his question with her voice, instead she closed her mouth over the head of his cock and began to suck him in deeply.

"Fuck, me!" Kenpachi groaned as she started to move her mouth over him taking him in deep, then pulling back to suck on just the head.

Linake felt his hands reach out for her, taking handfuls of her hair, like she would do to him when he sucked on her clit. Kenpachi's girth prevented her from being able to take as much of him as she wanted to, but Linake could see that he was still enjoying himself as she peeked up at him from under her lashes. Kenpachi was leaning forward, his dark hair spilling across his shoulder watching her suck on him. Linake felt his left hand loosen from her hair and reach down cupping the side of her face lovingly, by his actions she could tell she was succeeding in giving him a new form of pleasure, just like he did for her.

Linake lifted her hand and wrapped it around the base of his cock and began to stroke him as she continued to take in as much of him as she could with her mouth, sucking deeply. Kenpachi allowed it longer then she thought he would, Linake had a suspicion he wouldn't want her to make him come like this and he confirmed it when he reached down and gripped her by the shoulders.

"That's enough, woman, let me fuck you, now!" Kenpachi demanded.

Linake pulled away from him as he gripped her by the biceps and pulled her up from her knees. Kenpachi surprised her a little when his mouth came crashing down over hers, his tongue pushing past her lips. His kiss was deep and demanding and it felt like she had teased him to a whole new point of arousal.

Kenpachi pulled back from his kiss and stood up from the edge of tub.

"Turn around!" Kenpachi demanded, his chest heaving, breath ragged.

Linake followed his direction and turned away from him as memories from their first night together filled her mind.

Kenpachi walked her over to the edge of the tub and gently eased her down. Linake stretched her arms out in front of her gripping the side of the wooden basin, her heavy breasts pressed against the wood. She felt him run his strong rough hands down the soft skin of her back and grip her by the hips. Kenpachi lowered his right hand and spread her, pushing two of his fingers inside her and he found her soaked from her own need.

"How the fuck did teasing me get you so wet!?" Kenpachi growled at her as he pulled his fingers away abruptly.

Linake felt him take a hold of her by the hips again and in one swift motion he plunged himself inside her.

"Ugh!" Linake grunted as she felt him fill her all the way to the hilt.

"I'm about to fuck the hell out of you, woman." Kenpachi growled as he thrust his hips forward.

"Yes!" Linake moaned feeling him lose control behind her as he pushed into her deeper and faster than he ever had before.

Linake's eyes rolled as she felt his thick cock pushing against her G-spot, every time he thrust forward the crown would brush against it, sending a surge of pleasure so deep that it made her clinch her teeth and groan in response.

"Yes! Yes!" Linake panted over and over as he pounded into her.

"You better tell me if I get too rough!" Kenpachi demanded as he kept thrusting.

Linake gripped the side of the tub tighter as she encouraged him.

"Fuck me, Kenpachi!" She begged.

Linake heard him laugh low in his throat as he kept going for her, giving her what she needed, what she begged him for. Kenpachi leaned his body into her, running his hands across her back as he lost himself inside her, he'd joked about knowing all the right buttons to push, but he guessed the joke was on him this time, because the woman had done more than just push his buttons, she'd made him mindless!

"I love you, woman!" Kenpachi groaned as he brought his arm up around her waist lifting her up just enough for him to slide his other hand between her legs.

Linake groaned deeply as she felt his fingers start to tease her swollen clit, sending a rush of the most intoxicating pleasure she had ever felt. The combination of her G-spot being hit by the angle of his hips and the skillful way he played with her clit made her body start to quiver underneath him, her core clinched him hard, her hips rocked to meet his every thrust, her head tipped back as she felt the first surge of her climax building.

"I love you!" Linake moaned her reply.

Kenpachi clinched his teeth as he felt his woman clinch down on him hard, he knew the harder she clinched, the closer she was to coming for him. It was the one thing he craved more than anything, the way she molded to him intensified the friction for him, making his come rise up the base of his shaft, he would hold back for as long as it took, nothing felt better to him then when her beautiful body tightened around him, pulsing against his cock, demanding that he fill her, then and only then, would he let himself go.

"Come on, Linake…come hard for me!" Kenpachi demanded, he felt like he was about to bust, but he wouldn't let go, not until she milked it from him.

Linake sucked in a deep breath as she felt the final surge take her over, she gripped the sides of the tub harder as she felt his wild thrusts plunging into her. The head of his cock teased her G-spot one last time, forcing her body to erupt, she trembled violently as her core clinched around his cock, pulling him in deeper, seeking to give him his own satisfaction.

"Yes…yes, Kenpachi!" Linake groaned as complete euphoria washed over her.

"That's it woman, come hard!" Kenpachi encouraged, as she finally let go for him.

Kenpachi growled as he thrust into her one last time, every taunt muscle in his body pulled even tighter, his hands dug into her soft hips as his head tipped back and his eyes rolled. He felt the intense rush of his climax shoot up his spine sending a blast of white hot pleasure coursing through his groin, forcing him to spill inside her.

Kenpachi allowed himself to lean forward, pressing his chest against her back as he pulled out from inside her. He smiled as she made a soft noise indicating she had felt him leave her body. Kenpachi pressed his lips against the side of her neck, her body still laid over the side of the tub. He noticed the way her hands still held onto the edge of the wooden basin.

"Did I go too hard?" Kenpachi whispered, hoping that he hadn't hurt her.

"No! I'm just trying to catch my breath." Linake answered with a half-laugh between rough pants.

Kenpachi pushed himself up away from her, feeling like him laying on her wasn't helping her breath any better. Linake pushed herself up on shaking arms. Her orgasm had been the most intense he'd ever given her, making her head swim and left her body trembling from the rush of endorphins even after her climax had ended.

"Why are you still shaking?" Kenpachi asked her as he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up off her feet into his arms then lowered them both back down into the warm water, the curves of her ass pressing against him as she sat across his lap.

Linake looked up into his soft green eyes that seemed to be filled with concern for her.

"I'm okay, my love. That was just really intense!" Linake spoke softly, her voice low and sexy.

Kenpachi allowed himself to smile down at her now that he understood, he'd succeeded in making his woman come her brains out. Her eyes looked dazed, almost as if she were drunk, her body still trembled, even though he held her close to his chest in the warm water.

"Yeah…I kinda lost myself there…" Kenpachi half-laughed.

Linake laid her head down on his chest and nuzzled against him as she smiled.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." She replied, her voice still sounding soft and low, sleepy sexy.

Kenpachi chuckled.

"So much for you being useless to me, woman. If you keep teasing me with that beautiful mouth of yours, you can expect me to lose myself more often." He growled against her ear.

Kenpachi felt her body shiver against him.

"I'll have to remember that." Linake whispered as her eyes drifted closed.

Kenpachi smiled as he watched his woman drift to sleep against him, he guessed fucking her had released all of the tension she had been carrying, because when he ran his hand over her shoulders they felt loose and relaxed. Kenpachi didn't mind that she was falling asleep on him, the woman had just given him more then he'd ever expected of her, and he loved her even more for each intimate caress of her lips.

Kenpachi gently shifted her in his arms turning her away from him, allowing her to lean back against his chest. Linake didn't even stir from the movement and it made him chuckle and pulled at his heart a little, the trust the woman gave him was unlike any other and it meant the most to him. Kenpachi decided he'd go ahead and bathe her as she slept against him as a way to give back to her for the immense pleasure she had been so kind to show him.

"I'm putty in those hands of yours, woman." Kenpachi sighed before reaching out for the soap on the side of the tub.
