Chapter 12

Grimmjow

"Are you sure about this?" I asked nervously, looking at the girl dressed in a white peasant/flamenco skirt (At least, that's what I was told it was called) and cut off-looking, off the shoulder shirt. God she was hot. And deadly. The Macho side of me screamed to not be a pussy but the realistic side of me knew that if her other half took over I was toast. Literally, fucking toast.

"Yup! Swing at me, big boy!" Mirella taunted.

I steeled myself against what might happen. We had been training for about 2 weeks but this was our first time sparring. All her work up to this point had been mastering basic fighting techniques and her ability to call on her power at any time. She had learned amazingly fast and her power made every Espada's mouth water. The worst part was that this was only a fraction, and no matter what I said she would not release all of it.

All right, don't hurt her, don't hurt her… Ahh, screw it, don't hurt me, don't hurt me… I swung my katana down across her chest. She deflected it with a bare glowing hand. She had yet to use a sword and she was still going to kick my ass. I rained blows down at her from different angles, not worrying about having to hold back too much. If I got too dangerous accidentally, her hands would turn to flame instead of just the orange aura. I learned that on day one during my demonstration. She blocked them easily.

"C'mon Grimmjow! That all you got?" She demanded.

I gritted my teeth and began to truly fight, quickening the pace nearly to my max as I watched the orange ribbons of flame move like wings around her, keeping her up to my speed. Why is she the only person I am hesitant about attacking? Shit… I knew the answer and it wasn't because I believed she could overpower me, which had never stopped me before. It was her, just her.

I thought back to our kiss after her shopping spree. That was the last one I had gotten. She hadn't gotten close to me like that again, not even a hug. I swear I didn't blow her off, and god, did I want fuck her…. but I don't want to fuck her, I want to make love with her. I remembered the feeling of her in my arms and felt the now familiar desire touch down in my stomach. The unfamiliar feeling in my chest, now that I thought off it, caught me off guard. Unfortunately this distracted me.

I was knocked onto my back by a quick blast. I sighed at the inevitable, unmoving and Mirella began hovering over me, obviously concerned. I looked up at her, somewhat captivated by the falling hair that seemed to form a halo around her face. "Are you okay? Can you move?" she asked nervously.

"Yes," I said dryly, answering both questions at once.

"Then why aren't you getting up?"

"I don't want to…. I like the view right now."

I watched her blush and pull her hand away from my shoulder. Not this time, I can't do this anymore. I took her hand before she could stand up and she looked down at me curiously. "Will you stay here with me?" I asked.

"On the floor? Mmm, not so keen on that one, hon," she replied incredulously.

"Why not? I think it's a great place," I chuckled, watching her roll her eyes at me. I decided to take my chances. "Fine, no floor, but that's only on one condition."

"What's that?"

"You have to kiss me again." She looked confused at my request. "Is that a problem?"

"I thought you said you didn't want anything between us to be a mistake," she said.

"No, I don't want you to feel it was a mistake. I know what I want," I said seductively. Come on… I know she wants me too. She wouldn't have kissed me like that the before if she hadn't, right?

I watched her eyes light up just a bit as she (finally) flirted back with me, saying, "And here I thought Aizen stuck me with a tease…"

I began laughing, a sound I made much more often now that she was here, and stood up. I sheathed my katana and began walking toward the door of the practice room.

"Wait, where are you going? We've only been here for, like, half an hour," she called after me.

"Practice is cancelled. We have gone two weeks, everyday, morning and afternoon, we deserve a break for something more fun," I replied, never slowing my pace.

She caught up to me at the door. Before she had a chance to protest, I scooped her up in my arms and sonido'd to my door. I didn't put her down until we were in the room. She looked around at my room, apparently surprised at the look of it.

"What? Did you think you were the only one who customized your room? You just had the biggest budget," I told her.

"I just didn't expect it to be so… cool."

I laughed quietly and watched her look over everything until she came back to me. I felt myself tingle; her gaze was like a warm caress. She stepped toward me and looked into my eyes, as if trying to determine what to do next. "Why do you seem nervous?" I asked her quietly.

"I am nervous, I don't know why," she said, lowering her eyes.

I closed the distance in one step, wrapping her in my arms. "Please, don't ever be nervous around me," I said. When she looked up, I covered her mouth with my own before she could respond. Her mouth opened immediately. Thank god! She wanted it, too….All thoughts left my mind as I let instinct take over. I pushed my tongue into her mouth, lightly biting her lips as I pulled it back out. I felt her breath catch and began to explore her mouth again.

I loosened my hold on her, allowing my hands to roam softly over her bare shoulders and down her arms. I gently urged her hands up and she quickly wrapped them around my neck sending shivers down my spine when she ran her nails through my hair. My hands trailed down her back and pulled her close so that I could feel the entire length of her body against mine. She pressed her hips against mine and let out a small gasp when one of my hands travelled over her breast, gently flicking the nipple through her shirt.

At the sound of her gasp, I felt my arousal begin to grow. I gently squeezed the gorgeous mounds under my palm, hoping to elicit more heart stopping sounds from her. I succeeded in getting a moan from her which only made me want her more. I crushed my mouth down on hers with more force, feeling her begin to go weak at the knees.

Without breaking the kiss I lifted her up and set her on my bed, settling myself on top of her. I lifted myself away from her for a moment and looked into her eyes. "Are you sure you want me?" I asked

"Yes. I've wanted you since I met you," she answered seriously, gazing into my eyes with so much sincerity… and something unreadable... That look made me want her even more.

I kissed her again, holding myself up with one arm as I let my other hand roam her body. I ran my fingers through her hair and caressed her neck, feeling her groan into my mouth. Her shirt was in the way of more skin I wanted to touch so I ran my hand quickly over her chest down to her taught stomach and came up underneath, gently squeezing the tip and earning another groan.

My mouth moved down to her neck and I felt her nails run gently up my back, leaving goose bumps in their wake. Her fingers teased my nipples for a quick second causing me to give a small moan of my own, and then she cupped my face before pushing me away slightly. I looked at her, wondering if she had changed her mind. Please don't let it be that, I don't know if I can stop myself by now…

"Take off your jacket," she said in voice that was husky with passion.

"Gladly," I said, shrugging it off. I looked down at her with a smirk. "You need to catch up." I ripped through her shirt easily revealing her gorgeous breasts, even more perfect than I remembered. I lowered my mouth to a rosy tip and flicked my tongue across it, feeling her arch underneath me. Her hips ground into my erection causing me to shutter.

I felt one of her hands slide down my chest to my stomach and I reflexively raised my body a bit so that she could reach further. She rubbed her hand over my hard on through my pants making me moan softly. She stopped her ministrations to try and release my pants. I felt warmth when she got fed up with struggling and simply burned through the waistband. I leaned back to pull her skirt down her legs and saw her eyes widen when she saw my size.

She reached down, wrapping her hand around my length and began stroking rhythmically. I sighed at the pleasurable feeling, reaching my hand down between her thighs. She stopped me, abruptly flipping us over.

Kneeling next to me, she resumed her stroking as I relaxed against the bed. My eyes shot open wide when I felt her take me into her mouth, licking the head before lowering her mouth down the shaft. I moaned out loud at the sensation. I reached around her and let my hand run over her round bottom and slid my fingers into her warm moistness. She gasped as she felt my finger caress the highly sensitive bud hidden there. She leaned into my hand and I slid one finger into her. She moaned again and I decided I couldn't wait any longer.

"Come here," I whispered. She raised herself back up to my face. I recaptured her mouth and gently laid her back on her back. I positioned myself between her legs and slowly slid into her. She moaned loudly as I began to slide back and forth. I lay down over her, holding her in my arms as I built up speed. She wrapped her legs around my hips, her arms around my neck. She gasped at every thrust.

I could feel her tightening around me as she built toward her climax. I went faster, pushing her to her limit before I would let myself go. I felt the warmth spill from her and finally released the pressure that had been building inside of me for the past weeks. I pulled myself gingerly out of her, rolling over to lay next to her, my arm draped across her middle.

I looked at her, staring at the ceiling. I lifted my hand, running my fingers down her cheek to turn her face toward me. She looked into my eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, that was… wow," she replied breathily. The simple words couldn't have described it better. I pulled her towards me and she curled into my chest, fitting perfectly against me. "Your heart is beating so fast, I guess you did get a workout, huh?" she said coyly.

I chuckled. "That's impossible, I'm a hollow, I don't have a heart."

She took one of my hands and raised it to my chest where, sure enough, a faint fast beating could be felt. "You got your heart back?" She asked seriously.

"No, I think I finally just found it."
