"Heh... the bed's a little... small for this..."

"Do you... aah... wanna move...?"

"Yeah... The chair... maybe?"

"Sure... it looks more... comfortable..."

It was like a game, moving to the love seat (no really, that's what it's called) without keeping our hands off each other, but we made it there eventually. Kaname sat back in the seat, pulling me down with him so I was sitting in his lap. He grimaced as he stoked my bandaged chest and stomach. "I wish you weren't wearing these... I'd eat you..." he breathed.

I closed one eye and shivered with delight as his soft hands moved up and down my back. During our week apart I could only think of those hands touching me, caressing me... squeezing me. And now I had them again. "I want you... to fuck me harder than ever before..." I moaned as I pushed myself closer to him, wanting more of his touch.

He smiled. "Anything for you, Zero-kun."

My mouth gaped as his strong hands grasped my hips and slowly lowered me down on his throbbing length. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to have him moving inside me. "Aah.... hah...." I gasped as he sank deeper and deeper in.

As if to ease the pain, Kaname leaned in closer, running his long fingers through my hair and breathing warm air on my neck. "God, you feel... amazing..." he whispered.

It took all my strength to hold back the loud moans and gasps as Kaname lifted me slightly and thrust into me again and again. I gripped the plush arms of the chair tightly and arched my back when Kaname rubbed his fingertips on the small of my back.

"Uah... oh, shiiit..."

"Come for me, Zero-kun... I'll make you come... for me..."

I threw my head back wide eyes when Kaname changed his angle and slammed in deeper than before; for a while, I was seeing doubles. "Fuuuck... Kaname, you... bastaaard..."

Kaname leaned back in the chair, stopping to gaze up at me. Shocked, I looked down and snarled, "What the hell, man?! You know what this kind of build up does to a guy!"

"... you're beautiful..."

"Huh?"

He reached up to run his hands over my chest and down my sides. "When you throw your head back like that... and moan my name... it's beautiful..." His cold fingers gently caressed my trembling manhood, continuing, "And when the moonlight illuminates your glistening body... it makes me want you more..."

I clenched my eyes shut and lowered my head as his hand began to move slowly up and down, up and down. "Kan... ame... stop teasing me..." I choked.

"On the contrary," Kaname whispered, "you're the one teasing me."

A wail was released from the depths of my lungs as I was released at the final squeeze of Kaname's hand. Exhausted, I slumped against the pureblood, trembling. "Kaname..." I rasped. "I... love you..."

Kaname chuckled lightly as he brushed aside my hair and kissed my forehead. "I know..." he whispered.

"IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?!"

Kaname and I sat up stiffly at the voice and turned towards the door as it flew open. My face and body burned hot as someone stepped inside and saw us in the chair. "Yu... Yuuki?!"

She looked horrified, quickly falling backwards and screaming, "Zero-kun?! Kaname-sama?! What... what the hell is this?!" Her face turned beet red in embarrassment.

I tumbled off Kaname's lap, grabbing the bed sheets to hide myself. "What the hell, Yuuki?! You can't just go barging into people's rooms! The sock was on the door!" I shouted.

Yuuki wasn't swayed. "Who cares about the sock?! I heard someone scream and I thought someone was getting killed! Kaname-sama... you're cheating on me?! With Zero-kun?!"

Kaname shrugged as he pulled up his pants. "We're not married yet, so it's not technically cheating," he answered. "What Zero-kun and I do is our own business."

"What are you doing here, Yuuki?" I stammered as I searched around for my underwear and pants. "It's two in the morning."

Yuuki's expression suddenly changed, her eyes downcast and lip trembling. "I came to tell you..." she murmured, "Aidou heard something outside the house and went to look around... he found Cross lying outside."

My eyes widened. "Cross?! Is he okay?!" I gasped.

Yuuki shook her head as the tears began to fall. "He's alive, but barely... from the looks of it, he was attacked by a wild dog, and his anti-vampire weapon was broken in half. The doctor sent me to get you, Kaname-sama. I have the car waiting outside."

Anger welled up inside me; Cross must have been going to stay with Yuuki when he was attacked. This... was my fault... if I hadn't told him to go to the Kuran house, then he would be okay. But now... he was dying because of me. "I'll kill that bastard..."

The two vampires glanced back to me. ''Zero-kun..." Yuuki muttered.

I felt my fists clench up as my body shook with rage. Glaring at the ground, I said, "Cross got hurt because of me... I... I won't let that bastard who hurt him get away with this..."

Kaname placed a hand on my shoulder, saying, "I won't let you do that. You need to stay here and heal."

Throwing his hand off my shoulder, I yelled, "Fuck it! My caretaker is hurt! Because of me! I have to avenge him for my sake!"

The pureblood grabbed me by the shoulders, shaking me lightly. "I won't let you get hurt again!"

"Let him do it, Kaname-sama."

Yuuki's wide brown eyes gazed back up to Kaname with an intensity I've never seen. Even Kaname seemed surprised. "Yuuki..."

"If you care for Zero-kun that much, you would let him go. Just... let him go..." Her eyes swelled with tears and her small shoulders shook with each sob. "I want that bastard to pay for what he did to Cross as well; after what he did for me and Zero-kun, he at least deserves this much."

I smiled weakly. "Arigatou, Yuuki..."

She knew what I was feeling; it wasn't just the burning hatred or want of revenge. No, it was neither of these. For the first time in my life, I knew what it felt like to live with guilt, and I couldn't bear it much longer if I wasn't going to do anything about it.
