Three
"Her eyes were shrouded in an innocent mist, her pale skin was shining like a precious jewel, and her lips slightly parted in awe of what she was viewing. Beautiful wasn't enough to describe her"
In due time the house was rebuilt, but not to its original design. Juugo made the house much larger, adding two extra levels. The walls were made thicker and more resistant to his brute strength. The whole house was made into a maze, with a secret room made specifically for Juugo whenever he lost control. He accepted that Noriko was the only way to nourish his beast, yet when she could not fulfill its needs, the last thing he wanted to do was destroy the house again-or even worse end up killing her. He made her room large and rather elegant. There were two large windows that painted the image of the vast green outside; the ceiling was not too high, and slightly arched. Her queen bed was cushy to the touch and was covered in lavender satin and silk sheets-and with matching pillows. He ornamented the room with her favorite flowers, and filled the rest of the area with fluffy stuffed animals. She was graciously happy and appreciative of what he had done. It'd been a while since there was an improvement in her home.
Noriko sat by her room window, staring out at the night forest, not really thinking about anything in particular. Though she spent nearly a decade in this forest, she was still fascinated of its admiring beauty and innocence. Juugo was watching her patiently from the borders of her room door. She had just taken a shower and was dripping water all over the floor-she still had that habit of using his t-shirts as towels. The moonlight was shining upon her face in such an angelic way, and the night seemed to intensify the light. Her eyes were shrouded in an innocent mist, her pale skin was shining like a precious jewel, and her lips slightly parted in awe of what she was viewing. Beautiful wasn't enough to describe her. There was a sudden wave of greedy lust that spread throughout Juugo's body violently. He held his breath, shut his eyes and clenched his teeth, letting the unexpected pang of desire run its course. When the feeling finally passed on, he stared back at Noriko who was glaring at him cautiously.
"I'm alright," he told her. She nodded and stared back out the window. Juugo decided to leave his spot and go to Noriko, sitting next to her. She leaned onto his bare arm, causing his breath to hitch from her softness.
"I think I'm in love with you," she said while lacing her fingers through his. His face turned a light pink,
"Why do you only make love to me when your demon comes out, why not now?" she was staring straight into his eyes. Juugo sighed heavily,
"I don't want to hurt you" he loathed himself for hurting her.
"But I know when you're like this, you won't hurt me" her voice was filled with a sudden and unknown seductive tone that he never knew existed. It was like smoke, it was wrapping around him, entrapping him. He knew he couldn't refuse,
"If its what you want" with that said he kissed her. It was a soft at first; he was still trying to think of ways to be gentle-not wanting to be like the demon. But as he relaxed his kisses became hungry and demanding. Noriko combed her fingers through his amber hair, urging him to go further. He wrapped his arms around her stomach, and pulled her close to him. The t-shirt she wore was soggy from the water, without a second thought he snatched it and pulled it over her head, tossing it to the side. He carefully picked up her bare body and carried her to the bed. He trailed his lips down her neck, kissing and licking at her skin, as his hands held onto to her thighs, her legs entwined with his strong arms. It wasn't that same feeling she felt when he had taken her for the first time. That eerie mist was returning, but it wasn't suffocating like before. Her heart felt like it was ablaze, but in a desiring way. His skin was so sweaty and hot against hers, she was the candle and he was the fire. She was melting into him, letting him takeover completely. It wasn't anything like the beast's methods. His were truly passionate and not out of a dangerous lust but of pure love and respect. This was what she needed. The room was growing ever hotter- the summer night wasn't making it any better. Noriko was gasping for breath, trying not to melt completely from such intense love.
"I love you so much" Juugo groaned, as his pace grew ever quicker and deeper. The two lovers didn't realize the sun slowly peeking over the horizon.
