AN: Thanks for the support guys, totally love it ! So I've decided to give Raizomika some quality time together and this chapter its all fireworks! Hope you enjoy.
"Oh my God, Raizo! Look, our bedroom overlooks the beach!" Mika exclaimed excitedly running to open a french door that to a small balcony shaped verandah, just after their arrival. They had decided to rent a small villa for their stay at the Almafi Coast, Mika didn't fancy hotels that much, she felt grounded inside one.
"Mas—Ryan told me you uh—love water" Raizo's eyes lit seeing her reaction.
"Uh, you what? You asked Ryan?" Mika made a small frown, the idea of Maslow and Raizo discussing holiday resorts was downright incredulous.
"A little" Raizo gave her one of his enigmatic smiles.
Hmm, what else did you ask Ryan about me?" Mika asked suspiciously, the smug look on Raizo's face spoke volumes.
"Just that" he shrugged, his lips twitching.
"Bromance" Mika rolled her eyes but this time she was smiling. She turned to watch the powerful waves crashing against the rocks on the cliff about twenty feet down. The coastal village was situated on a high place as per the familiar ancient Roman architecture.
Raizo watched Mika; the warm sea breeze that wafted in their room blew her hair. She was beginning to relax; she had a thoughtful look on her face. He could see something had come alive inside her the moment they arrived here. There was a glow on her caramel complexion he had never seen before. He loved looking at her when she was unaware; it gave him time to really appreciate the masterpiece work of art that was his woman. That thought alone; that she was his almost made him choke with satisfaction. He never really had anything to call his own in his whole life besides his weapons and now all that had changed. His eyes swept over her curvy hourglass petite figure. The jeans she was wearing snuggly hugged her bottom and accentuated her hips. Raizo felt a familiar tightening in his jeans that almost made him groan out loud, he soundlessly rose from the bed and crossed over to her.
Have you ever stared out into the rain?
Thought the clouds would never disappear
Have you ever screamed out in the dark?
Thinking no one else could hear
Mika sensed Raizo's smoldering gaze on her turned back and her heart did a somersault, her stomach tightened with anticipation. Raizo's presence affected her greatly and she knew that somehow he was aware of that. She turned to go back into the room and she made a surprised squeak when she walked straight into him, his subtle movements never ceased to her. She looked up at him and forgot to breathe for a moment, his dark eyes were intense and the desire was clearly written on his face. He took her face in his hands and she moved in closer to him wanting to feel his body against hers. She almost smiled at how their bodies fit together, just like a puzzle, his; tall, lean and tough and hers; small, soft and feminine. She was more than ready for his kiss this time.
I was leaving footprints, tainted by my past
On this winding road to you…
They stumbled back into their room against the closest white washed wall without stopping their kiss. Mika gasped as their kiss become deeper and more urgent. She felt like she would pass out any moment or her knees would give away like a tassered person. She didn't feel anything else but his lips on hers and his hands awakening a fire on her body. He hastily slipped her ruffled top off and she helped him unbutton his shirt. They both made a brief awkward laugh at the sense of urgency and unparalleled desire that had overtaken them.
I lost my faith in love, tonight I believe again
My heart was a broken place, now I feel whole again
You bring me honesty, and that's worth believing in
And I believe, I believe again
Mika welcomed Raizo's weight on top of her as they slowly sank of the soft bed, their limbs intertwined. Raizo gently kissed the scar on Mika chest, where her heart should have been situated, where Ozunu had pierced her with his katana. While the scar told a sad story it was also the mark of the beginning of a love story to him.
"You're so beautiful" he murmured admiring her now bare body underneath his and trailed more sensual kisses on her caramel skin.
Mika felt like she was drowning in a bottomless pit as she lost herself completely to him and the unbridled passion he was awakening in her. She was spiraling out of control, the cool internal composure she always had was becoming formless in his arms.
"I'm falling Rai" she whimpered as their rhythm increased
"Fall, sarang, I'll catch you" he whispered huskily in her ear with a passion that matched hers, holding her tighter and then he gave her a lengthily, smoldering kiss.
Have you ever spun out of control?
Like you never saw the road ahead
Have you ever just kept looking back?
Ever closer to the edge
They took all their time; there was nothing to worry about, no looming danger in the shadows, just them and this moment. They could hear the sound of the waves hitting the rocks outside and smelled the salty sea breeze that filled the room. He knew it would always be like this between them, the way their energies fused and responded to each other was more than amazing. He loved getting lost inside her warm depths; he loved hearing her cry out his name and the sensual sounds she made every time they came together.
I was praying for the light I see in your eyes
I had all but given up
"I love you" he said in his husky baritone voice, enfolding her in the crook of his neck.
"I love you too" she whispered back with a satisfied smile.
I lost my faith in love, tonight I believe again
My heart was a broken place, now I feel whole again
You bring me honesty, and that's worth believing in
And I believe, I believe again…..
Raizo woke up with a surprised start; he had never slept to a point that he was oblivious to everything around him. It astonished him that he didn't hear Mika get out of bed or the sound of the shower water. But somehow it pleased him at the same time that he could have a peaceful sleep, and not think about anything bad that could possibly happen. He sat up, ready to go and find her; he could hear the distinct thump of her heart somewhere but then he heard her footsteps drawing closer.
"Thoughtful much?" Mika teased him coming into the room. He looked at her with a surprised expression. She was wearing a little black, over the knees cocktail dress that hugged her shapely figure. He had never seen her wearing a dress before, now he couldn't take his eyes off her, it really suited her and showed her shapely legs which were adorned by a pair of black high heels. And she looked different; her usually wavy hair was now straightened and fell into layers around her face. Mika blushed seeing his intense gaze on her form, she had banked on that reaction but Raizo always took it a notch higher.
"You're burning holes on my skin Rai" she teased coming to sit on the bed beside him.
"You look so—beautiful sarang" he muttered, the awe in his voice barely disguised.
"Hmm, thank you" Mika's face glowed then she went on.
"Take a quick shower babe, we're going out for dinner" there was a smug look on her face.
"We're what?"
"Going out Raizo, normal couple, remember?" she reminded him with a smile. She yanked him out of bed and he made it easy for her.
"Raizo!" Mika giggled untangling herself from his hold.
"How can I keep my hands to myself when you're looking like that Mika" he teased, then before she could protest he squeezed her rear and escaped to the bathroom, leaving her with a puzzled look.
