"Thank you for saving me."
"Shinsuke-sama"
For the longest time, there was an incomparable peace and silence. Even now his arms were still hugging tightly around her as she had once imagined. But now she could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat as she pressed her ear to his chest.
Their embrace finally ended. After pulling away, Shinsuke seemed far off. Matako could tell he was deep in thought once more. For a second, she wondered if he was starting to have second thoughts. But then he spoke to her.
"Matako Kijima, all this time you've been there for me. Even when everyone else abandoned me, you came back. I can never repay you after everything I've put you through and after everything you've given me."
His voice was smooth and powerful as always, but now had a tenderness to it she was enamored by.
"There's no need to think like that Shinsuke-sama. It's enough to have you like this."
"Kijima…" he said. He held her even more tightly this time. Every moment he held her there, his body became more and more exhilarated. His heart began to pound again.
Shinsuke knew this pleasant intimacy couldn't last forever. When he awoke from it, he would be left with the horrors of his actions. He would have to face them and confront his own nature when it reemerged. But the realism of the world seemed far off for once. Matako's presence was distracting him.
"It's not enough" he said.
"What?"
"Perhaps there's more I can do to make it up to you."
He pulled his head off her shoulders. Slowly and entrancingly, he leaned his forehead against her own. He could see the blood rushing to her cheeks. Her body became tense but then relaxed. She shut her eyes and poised her lips. Shinsuke tilted his head and leaned forward. They shared a soft kiss. Again Shinsuke pressed his lips against hers. The third time he became more aggressive and enveloped his mouth around hers. Slowly he pulled back.
Matako's flushed face showed the ecstasy she had experienced from their kissing. It had been tender and alluring. But Shinsuke knew she desired more.
I want to do more...
Takasugi put a hand to her chin and then kissed her again. His hand ran up the side of her cheek and then through her hair. He began to lay a trail of kisses down her neck, but stopped at her collar bone.
Next he slowly pulled away the collar of her kimono exposing her bare shoulders. Matako felt Shinsuke's hot breathe teasing her skin. She felt her body heating up as he stripped her clothing away. In response, she untied his belt and immediately slipped off his kimono. Shinsuke was surprised by her ferocity.
Matako had desired this intimacy all this time. But she had suppressed the desire, understanding her place in the Kiheitai and patiently waiting until Shinsuke reciprocated.
Now she began to stroke the well-chiseled muscles on his chest and occasionally lay a kiss on them as well. Matako began to work her way down until she reached his undergarments. She quickly slipped these off as well. Her eyes looked down to the object of her desire. Shinsuke found himself unable to continue removing her layers of clothing. The pleasurable sensation between his legs was too distracting. His legs stiffened and his breathing became heavier.
At last, Matako pulled herself away. Her rosy cheeks were filled with satisfaction. Shinsuke, having recovered his breathe, resumed his own exercise. Takasugi finally removed her top and then began to yank off her skirt. He held out a mischievous hand signaling her to sit in his lap. Matako eagerly obeyed.
With Kijima's new position, Shinsuke easily freed her of her last articles of clothing. Matako turned herself around and kissed him passionately on the mouth. She began to slide her body up and down on his chest. He tickled her spine with a finger and then ran it down past her hip. Finally, he reached her leg and began to ravish it lovingly.
Shinsuke, though gentle and skillful with her, was already overcome with raw desire. All this time, he had known Matako was attractive. But this had never interested him in the slightest. His body's urges had disappeared since the war's end. But now, the wants of a teenage Shinsuke were rushing back to him. The sounds of delight Matako was making as he let his hands wander her form were arousing. He began to fondle her breasts and to his satisfaction, he received an even louder reaction from her.
Shinsuke then pinned her down wishing to fully appreciate her naked form. His eyes wandered from her slender face to her ample breasts to the curves of her body. Takasugi knew his luck having such a beautiful woman as his lover.
This admiration was not one sided. Matako's eyes wandered back and forth over his body. She wanted to feel every part of his slender-but muscular build. There would be time for that soon enough. For now, they engaged in another tender kiss.
Takasugi crawled backwards until his head was over her waist. Matako shivered as she felt his tongue inflict lavish pleasure. She reflexively locked her legs around his head, forcing him to continue.
Their love making continued for several minutes before they decided to switch terrain. For the rest of the evening, they continued on Takasugi's luxurious bed. It wasn't long before they felt themselves on the verge of climaxing. Takasugi signaled Matako to kneel on all fours.
Matako felt her heart racing faster than ever. A second later, her mind was overflowing with incomparable pleasure. Her hands tore at the sheets. It was not without some pain, but it was worth it. Both she and her lover began to rock back and forth. Their hips motioned faster and faster. At last, they felt their enjoyment at its peak. Relief followed and they returned to nestling in each other's arms. Takasugi kissed her on the forehead. She smiled warmly and placed his head on her chest. Sleep followed soon after. They knew what would await them with morning's arrival. But for tonight, they knew it was all right to dream.
