Chapter 6
The Unofficial Date
True to his word, Ichigo heads straight up to take a shower once they get inside his house, but Rukia quickly notices as Ichigo heads upstairs, that his father and his sisters are watching a movie in the family room.
Rukia bites her lip nervously since she figures their plan to watch a movie is probably ruined, since his family seems into the one they're already watching. It's certainly not going to feel much like a date if they're watching the movie with his father and sisters.
She wonders if it's better that way, since her heart rate is already up high enough to give her reason for concern. He isn't even in the same room with her, but she's anticipating the next time they'll be alone together, which makes it feel like her stomach is tied in knots. Shaking her head over her own wild emotions, Rukia heads into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea, and try to cool her heels a bit.
The most difficult thing to deal with, is the way her entire body reacts to his very presence. The ear kiss had been proof that she's not doing well at maintaining the level of calm needed to keep her wits around this fascinating man.
She is still pondering how to calm herself down around him, when he appears in front of her, with his hair dripping water from his recent shower. Rukia's breath catches in her throat, and she blinks at the sight of him.
"I'll start the popcorn," that's all he says, and he seems as calm as can be, which makes Rukia clench her fist.
Is it really that easy for him to be this calm? Don't I affect him too? Isn't that why he felt the need to kiss me?
Rukia blinks again, and she furrows her eyebrows.
Whoa…did I just almost go into psycho bitch mode? What in the hell is wrong with me!
"I don't know if you noticed, but your family is watching a movie." Rukia points out, and Ichigo shrugs his shoulders as he puts a bag in the microwave.
"That's not the only T.V. in the house." Ichigo says, as he turns his head to the side to smirk at her a little bit.
Rukia's eyes narrow, since she's pretty sure she's been so obvious that even he's noticed how she reacts to his nearness.
"Are you talking about the one in your room, or is there another that you're referring to that I'm unaware of?" Rukia asks him, with a tone of voice he's never heard before.
Every sense in his body is screaming danger at him as she stands up in one smooth motion.
"That's the one I was talking about," Ichigo says, before glancing back at the microwave to check on the progress of the popcorn.
"Okay." Rukia says, grabbing her cup of tea, and heading upstairs ahead of him.
Why did I worry just now? I can't believe I'm actually about to get her alone in my bedroom! This is what I've been thinking about practically since I met her!
Ichigo isn't really sure how to handle the feelings he has for Rukia, since they're not something he's experienced before. He is attracted to her on every level possible and it's his primal reaction that has him unsettled. Even he isn't sure what he's capable of in his current state. He walks slowly into the family room and clears his throat.
Karin pauses the movie and everyone turns to look at him, and he looks remarkably composed considering what he says next.
"Rukia and I are going to watch a movie in my room. Nobody better say or do anything to make Rukia feel bad or guilty about being in my room alone with me, got that?" He asks with his eyes looking quite serious, but his smirk keeps everyone from reacting badly.
"Be sure not to use protection, I want grandchildren." Isshin says breezily, causing all three of his kids to sputter in response.
"That's not something a father should say to his unmarried son!" Karin snaps before she punches her father in the nose.
Yuzu is looking back and forth between Ichigo and her father, looking very confused, blinking nervously.
"You're doing that!" Yuzu finally gets out, and Ichigo looks like he wants to kill his father.
"We're not doing that, we're just eating popcorn and watching a movie you idiots! That's why you'd better not make her feel bad about it!" Ichigo snaps before he turns to head up the stairs, grimacing from the pain as he takes each step.
Like I could really do that right now in the condition I'm in anyways…
It's actually a relief, because if he was in tip top condition, he's not so certain he could trust himself alone in his bedroom with the beautiful Rukia.
I'd try like hell to impregnate her if I wasn't in so much pain right now…
He walks up to his door and turns the knob, but the door won't open, it's locked.
"Rukia!" Ichigo demands as he pounds on his door, trying to keep from spilling any popcorn.
"Just a minute Ichigo, I'm changing right now, and you can't come in until I'm dressed." Rukia's voice floats through the closed door, and Ichigo's pants suddenly feel much tighter.
I wish I was in there right fucking now!
Visions of Rukia in a bra and panties float through his brain, and then magically she's completely naked in his mind. The pain brings him back to reality though, because the medication hasn't kicked in yet..
"I really need to lay down though…" Ichigo calls through the door, and he hears her scramble before she opens the door, wearing a silky white robe, and his eyes practically pop out of his head.
"Okay, I'll grab my clothes and change in the bathroom then." Rukia says, but Ichigo shakes his head no.
"You look beautiful like that." He tells her, and Rukia's face flushes instantly.
"No, I can't wear this…" Rukia says, but Ichigo steps inside his room, and closes the door, before using that free hand to slip around her shoulder and lean on her.
"I'm in no condition to…can you just help me to the bed?" He asks her, and she relents without so much as a word of argument, taking the popcorn from him and letting him lean on her as she walks with him the short distance to his bed.
She sets the popcorn on the night stand, and he directs her to the cabinet with his movies.
She instead goes back to her suitcase and pulls out a pair of comfy shorts, and tee shirt.
"If anybody in your family walked in here with me in only this robe, I wouldn't be able to stand the embarrassment." Rukia informs him, and Ichigo is out of his bed in an instant, ignoring the pain that his movement causes him, and he grabs Rukia causing her to drop her clothing on the floor.
"I'll lock the door." Ichigo says with a stubborn tone, and he does just that before walking over to the movie cabinet himself.
He selects a romantic comedy that Yuzu bought for him, but that he's never watched before, and he slips the DVD in, all the while, still holding onto Rukia, who is very uncertain of what's on his mind.
Is she really only wearing just this robe? I have to find out!
Ichigo is itching to let his fingers slide up and down her sides to see if he can detect a bra or panties underneath the silky white robe, but instead he drags her back to his bed, and pulls her into it with him. He grabs his blanket and flings it around them, before grabbing the remote from the shelf behind his bed.
Rukia is shaken by their closeness, and part of her wants to bust out of his arms, to get dressed properly and sit at his desk, the way it should be, but it feels so nice and warm in his arms, that she's having a hard time mustering up the strength to do what she knows she should do.
While she's worrying about that, Ichigo gets the movie started, and forgets all about the popcorn as he slowly starts to let his hand move around Rukia's stomach. He figures going up first is his best bet, so he very slowly works his hand upward, and he's thrilled to find his hand is slipping right into the opening of her robe, to her bare skin.
Rukia's heart goes crazy as she feels his warm hand slowly slip into her robe, and she's scared at how much she likes this. She's not even focusing on the movie, just his hand, which has worked it's way up a little more and is dangerously close to her breast, and then his fingertip reaches the curve of her bare breast, and he pulls her body even tighter against his, which causes her to exhale in excitement and then his hand is cupping her breast, and his finger starts to toy with her nipple, which makes her gasp from the pleasure of it.
She somehow finds the strength to pull away from him and jump out of the bed. The pleasure scared her that much. She holds the robe together with one of her hands and holds her other one up like a stop sign to Ichigo.
"I'm not ready for that yet…" Rukia tells him in a whisper, and he immediately feels bad for scaring her.
"I'm sorry Rukia…I temporarily lost control…it won't happen again." He promises her, but Rukia shakes her head at him.
"It's less likely to happen if I'm properly dressed." Rukia says wisely, and Ichigo grabs the remote, pausing the movie, while keeping his eyes on Rukia who grabs her clothes, and then he feels his groin ache as she takes even underwear out of her suitcase…purple with white lace.
She wasn't wearing underwear either! I feel like I could explode right now!
"Hurry back…" Ichigo mumbles as he grabs a handful of popcorn and puts his hand up to his face to scarf it down.
Rukia feels far more shaken than he looks, since he looks fairly contrite about scaring her, but still her entire body is tingling from being so close to him and wearing so little clothing while being there. She's surprised to find that she's regretting jumping out of his arms so quickly, but she isn't experienced with these kinds of feelings, which is why she reacted the way she did.
"I won't be long." Rukia says, glad that at least her voice isn't shaky, even though she's still breathing a bit hard from the taste she had of Ichigo's hand on her bare skin.
She disappears out of his room, and Ichigo lets out a big breath of air, since even he was surprised at what had come over him when she was so close to him wearing just that damned sexy little robe.
I didn't even notice my pain when she was that close to me…I wonder if it's her or the medication finally kicking in…
It's not that long before Rukia opens the door, and he notices she doesn't lock it behind her, probably to keep him from losing control again. His face falls when grabs the chair for his desk and turns it around to sit on it. She only glances at him for a second before she takes some popcorn.
"You should come back in here with me…" Ichigo says, and Rukia practically chokes on her popcorn.
"I don't think that's a good idea…" Rukia finally says when she catches her breath.
"Can't trust yourself huh?" Ichigo asks, and Rukia raises an eyebrow at him.
"Can you trust yourself?" She asks tartly, and he smiles at her a bit.
"Nope." He tells her honestly, and Rukia laughs.
"I know…I think things may move a little too fast if I go back in your bed." Rukia says quietly, and Ichigo's smile makes her wish she didn't mind what others thought, since her body is screaming at her to get back in that bed with him.
Ichigo is glad that she's at least still in the room considering he hadn't wasted anytime letting his hand roam around her front side as much as she'd allowed anyways. He wouldn't have stopped otherwise, and he would like to get away from his family for his first time, just because he doesn't need his father busting in afterwards, ruining the entire thing for him.
After they finish the popcorn, and Rukia is paying attention to the movie, Ichigo reaches out and catches her hand, which makes her blush and look over at him.
"Why don't you scoot closer so we can hold hands more comfortably?" He asks her, and Rukia likes the feeling of holding his hand, so she scoots the chair closer to the bed and he drags her arm onto the bed and clasps her hand in both of his, while Rukia keeps blushing.
It's a little bit uncomfortable for her, but she endures the discomfort to be able to hold his hand.
This I can handle, even though just this still makes my heart race like crazy!
Rukia takes deep breaths and tries to keep her attention on the movie, but every time something happens between the couple on the screen, Ichigo squeezes her hand a little bit like he's really anticipating whatever romantic moments that might occur between the two of them.
Ichigo is still trying to figure out a way to get her back into his bed, but he's at a loss on how to do that successfully. Both of them end up dozing off before the movie ends, which ends up being the key to making Ichigo's desires become a reality since his father is unable to keep himself from going upstairs to check on his son and the beautiful heiress in Ichigo's bedroom.
When Isshin finds them both dozed off, he quietly slips into the room, and easily picks Rukia up in her sleep, and then deposits her onto the bed next to his son, who immediately wraps his arm around her as though he'd been waiting for it all his life.
Isshin grins as he looks at the two of them, and then he sneaks off to get his camera. He comes back in, and says a little prayer that the flash won't wake them before he aims carefully and snaps a perfect little picture of Ichigo and Rukia sleeping in each other's arms, and neither one of them open their eyes, even though Ichigo stirs from the sound of the camera. He opens his eyes, but the room is dark, and Rukia is in his arms.
Holy shit…
He can't believe she's actually in his bed, and he doesn't care how she got there, just that she's there. He sits up, without feeling pain, and removes his shirt, before he reaches down and then he pulls his pants off, leaving himself in just boxers. He looks down at Rukia, and it's as though all sensible thoughts have left his brain, because he pulls at the bottom of her tee shirt , and then he starts inching it upward.
If I can just get this off of her without her waking up, it'll be worth it…
Rukia turns, making it infinitely easier to get her shirt up even more, and then he sees her bra, but since she's on her side, he easily unsnaps it, and continues to inch her shirt upward, hungry for a taste of her, anxious to feel more of her silky feeling skin, it's all he can think about in the moment.
He pulls her arms upward, and he pulls firmly and carefully on the shirt, managing to slip it completely off, without rousing her, her breathing is even and deep, as though she's completely unaware he's ready to ravish her completely. The bra follows, and she's naked from the waist up, in his bed, but he doesn't stop there, he goes for her shorts next, but when he grabs the waist, he gets her panties at the same time, and in one smooth motion he has her completely naked in his bed, breathing heavily from her deep sleep.
Ichigo only hesitates for a moment before he pulls his boxers off, and then stretches out next to her, pulling the blanket over them, before he pulls her into his arms, unable to stop his hands from roaming freely over her naked body, and when he lingers on her nipple, she finally begins to stir, which makes him nervous, because he knows his arousal is pressing up right against her legs, only centimeters from where he'd need to be to start penetrating her.
Rukia is completely disoriented, but then Ichigo's mouth is on her neck, and his tongue zigzags along to her ear, and his hand cups her breast more firmly, and he breathes into her ear.
"Ichigo?" Rukia sounds disbelieving, since she's aware that she's naked and in his arms, and the rush of pleasure he sent down her entire body just now made her shiver, and she knows he felt it.
"Yeah?" Ichigo asks, and Rukia sucks in a disbelieving breath..
"What are we doing…why are we naked?" Rukia asks, and Ichigo can't answer the question, so he turns her in his arms, and he kisses her.
At first Rukia is stunned, his mouth just closes over her own, and she opens her own mouth instinctively, and his tongue swoops in, making her feel dizzy from the intimacy of it all.
Rukia flinches when his hand slides off of her breast and down to her belly, and then even lower…
"I don't want to stop…" Ichigo whispers, and Rukia's eyes widen.
"We have to…" Rukia says, but then she squeals when his finger goes right in between her legs and he's stroking her in such a way that all she can do is shake from the intensity of it.
"I don't care about anything anymore except showing you how I feel," Ichigo says against her ear, before his mouth swoops down to her nipple, and he begins to tease that with his tongue, and let his finger put her into a state where she's incapable of talking, and certainly incapable of resisting him.
She lets out a moan from all of the new feelings taking over her body, and she's very nearly sucked up into the way he's seductively touching her, like he knows everything to do to make her feel like a pile of mush.
"Ichigo…" Rukia is only able to call out his name, but it sounds like she's pleading for something. He's not sure if she's pleading for him to stop or continue though.
"Touch me, Rukia." Ichigo says, but she can't even hear him, because her body is shaking intensely. Then he feels the results of how he's been teasing her against his fingers, which makes his instincts take over completely, but suddenly Rukia blinks, and she slides out from under him in one smooth motion, just before he can get to where he needs to be to penetrate her, and she's dashing towards her suitcase before he can even think about grabbing her up again.
"You're not allowed to do anything strenuous, remember?" Rukia blurts out, and Ichigo's mouth drops open.
"That's what made you jump out of the bed?" Ichigo chokes out, and Rukia slips into her robe before she grabs more clothing.
That and the fact that I'm pretty sure I just had an orgasm, and came to my senses as to what we were just about to do…
"Yeah…I'll be back in a minute." Rukia says before she dashes out of his room to get dressed, for the third time today.
When Rukia gets back to the room, Ichigo has his boxers on, but he looks a little confused, like he's still not sure what just happened. Rukia goes into his closet, grabs a spare blanket and pillow before she gets comfortable on the floor.
That was way better than I imagined it might be…I hope Ichigo and I can become a serious couple…I have to be sure before anything else happens…
Ichigo is left in an uncomfortable state, since he's still aroused as hell, but he knows Rukia won't let anything else happen for the night.
I'll do whatever I have to do to make you mine…watch out, Rukia.
