Author Note: Hello, back again! Thanks for the well-wishes! I was on bed-rest for most of the last 2 weeks and not allowed to even use a laptop...literally just lying in bed and only getting up to use the restroom. Needless to say, got through lots of anime and TV shows but didn't get much writing done. -_-;;

Chapter 15:

Once Setsuna ended the night and all the guests were seen off by the wedded couple, the wedding party congregated in front of the elevators to go to their respective rooms. As they waited, the friends chatted non-stop about the highlights of the night.

"That was so cool, Rei-niichan!" Hotaru squealed as she tightened her grip around her 'adopted uncle's neck and rested her head on Rei's shoulder, enjoying the piggy-back ride she was getting in exchange for her energizing aura, "I didn't know you could do that!"

"Thanks, Firefly," Rei replied with a smile. She turned to look at Haruka and gestured towards her with her elbow, "Your Haruka-papa was the one who taught me when we were kids."

"Can you teach me some of those moves, Haruka-papa!?," Hotaru asked excitedly, "Please, please, please!"

"Yeah, sure, kiddo!," Haruka replied cheerfully, "When I come back from the honeymoon, we can-,"

"Ara, Haruka," Michiru interjected sweetly with a hint of concern in her voice as she slid her hand underneath Haruka's arm and pulled the race car driver closer, getting her attention, "I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Mmn, me neither," Setsuna agreed with a nod towards Haruka as she crossed her arms, "I don't want Hotaru breaking her neck or hurting herself trying to do those moves." She turned to Hotaru and brought a hand up to stroke her head, "Maybe when you're older. Ok, hun?"

"Yes, ma'aaam," Hotaru said disappointedly.

"It's ok, Firefly," Rei encouraged "That just gives you more time to eat well and take care of yourself so you can become strong enough do those things."

Hotaru's mood brightened immediately, "Mmn!" she replied cheerfully with an enthusiastic nod.

Ding!

An elevator car arrived and, as the doors slid open, Rei knelt down to return Hotaru to the ground. The young girl dismounted and quickly went to Setsuna, grabbing a hold of her hand. As the group began filing in they continued their respective conversations. Usagi and Mamoru got in first, followed by Ami, Makoto (who held a permanent residence at the hotel due to her position), Setsuna, Hotaru, Michiru, Haruka, and Rei.

As Minako took a step into the elevator, a loud, high-pitched, obnoxious sound echoed within the elevator.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"What's that sound?," Usagi asked nervously from the back of the elevator.

"It's a safety mechanism in the elevators," Makoto replied, "I think that sound means there's too many people in the elevator."

Minako immediately stepped back into the hallway, which caused the noise to stop and confirmed Makoto's comment, "Well, I guess that means I'll get the next one," she giggled.

"Awww, Mina-chan!," Usagi pouted from the back of the elevator, "I can get out and wait with you for the next elevator."

"Mou, Usa-neechan," Minako sighed as she rolled her eyes, "Don't be ridiculous, I'm fine waiting by myself. Besides, you're way back there! I'll just see you soon."

"I can-," Rei began, but her voice was drowned out by another loud, obnoxious sound echoing within the elevator.

Beeeeeeep!

"Careful! The doors are going to close on their own because they've been held open for too long," Makoto explained over the sound.

"Have a good night, everyone!," Minako called cheerfully over the sound as she pushed the call button for the next elevator.

Rei's shoulders slumped and she let out a disappointed sigh. She gave Minako a half-smile and a small wave as the doors of the elevator began slowly closing. Minako smiled and waved back shyly as she mouthed a small 'good night' in reply.

Suddenly, Rei's eyes widened as she felt a mischievous, royal-blue aura quickly approaching from behind,

"Whoa!," she exclaimed as she felt a sudden pressure between her shoulder blades. Before she knew it, she found herself pitching forward, stumbling through the closing elevators doors and out into the hallway.

"Rei-chan!," Minako exclaimed in surprise. Luckily, she was able to catch Rei in her arms before the archer fell to the ground. Once Rei caught her footing, she whipped her head around and caught the look of mischief in Haruka's dark-blue eyes,

"Rei, keep Mina-chan company while she goes up to her room, ok?," Haruka chuckled and waved at her before the doors closed and the elevator began moving upwards.

Wrrr…..

"Fucking asshole," Rei scoffed under her breath as she straightened, her eyes still trained on the elevator doors.

"Are you ok, Rei-chan?," Minako asked with concern, bringing Rei quickly out of her annoyance and into the present moment. Rei's eyes widened as she immediately registered who she was alone with and what Haruka did. A smirk formed on her lips, Thanks, Haruka. I owe you one.

"More than ok," Rei said sincerely as she turned to smile at her savior, "That's for saving me. I guess that makes you my hero now."

Minako blushed slightly at the comment as a soft smile formed on her lips. Other hotel patrons began congregating near the elevators and Rei moved to stand side-by-side with Minako, facing the elevators.

Ding!

Another elevator car soon arrived and the doors slid open. Rei entered first, pressed the button for the 25th floor, and went to the back-left corner of the elevator. She turned to face the doors and brought her hands up to rest on the gold, hip-height railing behind her that ran the length of the back wall as she leaned against it casually. Minako followed, pressing the button for the 13th floor, and went to stand next to Rei.

A very tall, stunning woman wearing a loose, pink quju shenyi with white trim and a yellow sash tied around the waist entered next. A beauty mark graced her delicate cheek below her left eye and her hazel gaze held the faintest color of purple that complimented her long, dark-purple hair which was braided starting at the base of her neck and going down past her waist. As she turned and lifted a hand to press the button for the 3rd floor, Rei noticed a large, white bangle with an emerald clasp on her delicate wrist that flashed a hint of red on the underside. Rei smirked to herself as she read the person's aura, Wow, I would have never guessed. For a guy, he's makes a really pretty woman!, She stole a side-glance towards the blonde next to her and blushed slightly, But he's nothing in comparison to Minako.

A female couple, a little older than Rei and Minako, with a small child walked in next. The taller of the two walked in first and was wearing a white blouse under a flattering, brown, women's military jacket. Her matching, knee-length pencil-skirt sported a modest slit that showed off her long, toned legs that were covered by dark-grey stockings. Her long, blonde hair was kept neatly together near the ends with a black ribbon tied in a bow. As she turned to press the button for the 6th floor with her left hand, her right arm came up to wrap around the smaller woman's shoulders, holding her close.

The smaller woman was also wearing a women's military suit, but her jacket was white with navy trim and her navy pencil-skirt came down just above her thigh-high, white stockings that covered her slender legs. Her long, auburn hair was pulled up into a side pony-tail to the left-side of her head.

The young child, who was holding the smaller woman's right hand, wore what looked to be a school uniform with a brown, school backpack on her back. She had long, dark-blonde hair with two, blue ribbons on either side of her head that held up adorably small twin-tails.

As the child walked into the elevator with her parents, she caught a glimpse of Minako with her heterochromatic emerald and crimson eyes and smiled shyly. Minako smiled back warmly and gave a small wave, which caused the child to blush slightly and turn to face the doors. Minako's gaze went to the backs of the two women, Wow, this must be a really bougie place if high-ranking, air force officers stay her too!

The group stood silently as the elevator doors closed.

Wrrr…..

The Elegancia, which was known mostly for its elegance and A-list patrons, also had a modern edge to it that allowed for them not to take themselves so seriously as to play the typical elevator jingles that were stereotypically expected from such high-class establishments.

Once the lift began moving, a song with a lazy low beat began playing softly from the speakers.

- Like double-cherry pie, yeah, there she was. Like disco super-fly. I smell sex and candy here. Who's that lounging in my chair? Who's that casting devious stares in my direction? Mama, this surely is a dream. Yeah, Mama, this surely is a dream. -

Minako was trying hard not to show it, but she was having some trouble breathing. The flirting, the looks, the soft touches, the dancing, the kisses…Gods, the kisses!

The sexual tension that had been building up between her and Rei since the night before was beginning to overpower her. Now, being so close to the archer in such a small space, it took everything in her not to pin the tragically, beautiful woman against the elevator wall and claim her lips in front of the the other hotel patrons.

She glanced over at Rei from the corner of her azure eyes. Rei was leaning her head back against the wall with her eyes closed. She was breathing deeply and slowly through her nose and almost appears as if she had fallen asleep standing up. Minako couldn't help but stare at her flawless, porcelain skin. As her eyes wandered to Rei's pale neck, she licked her lips as the thought of tasting the woman's skin at that spot entered her mind.

Wrrrr…..Ding!

The elevator stopped at the 3rd floor and the tall wo(man?) adjusted her (his?) bangles as s(he?) gracefully exited the elevator. After a silent pause, the elevator doors slowly closed and continued on its journey.

Wrrr…..

Another song with an almost haunting beat began playing through the speakers.

- You're so hypnotizing. Could you be the Devil? Could you be an angel? Your touch, magnetizing. Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing -

On the outside, Rei appeared to have dozed off as she leaned back against the wall of the elevator. But, if one happened to glance down at her hands, they would have seen them shaking slightly from gripping the elevator railing so tightly. In reality, Rei was being consumed by thoughts of Minako and was desperately trying to calm herself down to prevent from ravaging the seductive blonde right here in front of the other hotel patrons. The sexual tension had been so palatable between her and Minako since the night before, she could practically taste it.

The thought of tasting Minako's lips, her tongue, her skin...made Rei's breath hitch slightly. It also wasn't helping that she could see Minako's aura in her mind's eye burning ominously, practically raking her body from head to toe. Rei could almost feel the orange-gold flames licking the side of her neck, which caused a slight tingling sensation and she had to bite her tongue to stifle a soft moan.

A born pyro, Rei played with fire for most of her life. She fell in love with it at first sight when her grandfather introduced it to her at a young age at the shrine while training her in her abilities. She respected it and understood how to manipulate it, making it bend to and perform at her will. She was master to the earthly element and it obeyed her every bidding willing, almost submissively. But this…this aura that was blazing out of control...it was unpredictable...raw...dangerous.

And Rei wanted it...all of it.

Wrrrr…..Ding!

The elevator stopped at the 6th floor and the small family exited the elevator, leaving Minako and Rei to themselves. After a silent pause, the elevator doors closed and continued its ascent.

Wrrr…..

- 'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it. Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me. –

They were finally alone. The two women were frozen in place, neither one daring to make the first move while desperately willing the other to do so.

Rei could barely hear the sounds of Minako's soft, ragged breathing over the deafening sound of her own heart beating in her ears.

Minako's urges were coming to a head. Rei's breathing, her scent, her presence...was all-consuming. She couldn't take not being pressed up against Rei's curves but was practically paralyzed by how strongly she desired the beautiful archer. Taking a breath, she turned to look at Rei, who was standing frightfully still. As her gaze trailed down Rei's body, something caught her eye. Was it just her or was Rei's hand...shaking? Slowly, Minako brought her hand up, reaching towards Rei's hand.

As Rei's grip tightened on the railing behind her, she saw Minako's aura in her mind's eye moving closer.

Slam!

"Aah-mmm!," Before Minako knew what happened, she found her back being slammed firmly against the side-wall of the elevator. Her gasp of surprise was swallowed by fervent lips and replaced with a tongue that greedily explored her mouth. The kiss embodied so many unspoken words of passion, lust, and need that it sent a lightning-bolt through her that ended in an electrifying shock deep between her legs. Her body was being pinned to the wall by Rei's perfect, toned form. Pale, strong hands roughly explored every inch of her curves, occasionally raking nails on her exposed, creamy skin that left delicious, burning trails.

This is what Minako wanted...what she needed. She quickly gave in and closed her eyes, allowing her senses to take over. She kissed Rei back just as ferociously, sucking and biting at her lip while her own needy tongue invaded Rei's mouth. The elevator cabin echoed with the sounds of quickened breath and desperate gasps. Minako's hands were just as insistent, if not more, clawing at Rei's back and digging into her scalp as she fisted her silky, black hair. As Minako leveraged the wall to try and push herself impossibly closer to the sensual, toned body holding her down, she felt Rei's body let up slightly. For a moment, Minako thought she was winning this heated battle until Rei threw all her weight into the writhing blonde, her thigh hitting between Minako's legs.

The force of being pinned against the wall a second time and the full-body sensation that shot through Minako from Rei's thigh caused their kiss to break, allowing Minako to let out a loud and desperate moan, "Oh, Gods!"

This only encouraged Rei as she let out a low growl before ducking to attack Minako's neck savagely. Minako's breath was now coming out in a mix of pants and moans in Rei's ear, urging on Rei's desires.

Unable to deny the throbbing urge that was growing inside of her, Minako wrap her arms around Rei's body, grasping her jacket tightly in her hands. She lifted one of her legs up to wrap possessively around Rei's waist, allowing her to grind herself against Rei's thigh.

Rei's hand followed the outline of Minako's body, along the smooth thigh of her lifted leg, until it stopped in the bend under Minako's knee. As Minako rolled her hips up and down the length of Rei's thigh, Rei alternated between pulling her and relaxing in the same rhythm while moving her own thigh in the opposite motion, helping the gorgeous blonde gain more purchase with every movement.

"Aah…Rei-chan," Minako moaned breathlessly, "Gods...mmm...that feel so good...aah...keep going."

Rei, relishing the desperate tone in Minako's voice, continued her ministrations, forcing more ragged moans to escape Minako's lips.

"Fuck…Rei-chan," Minako moaned as her head tilted back to lean against the wall behind her for support, "Aah...I want you…Gods...I can't wait to fuck you."

At this, Rei hesitated and slowed her movements slightly. Though she still continued her actions, they were less fervent than before. Being practically wrapped around Rei, this didn't go unnoticed by Minako and her azure eyes immediately shot open,

"Rei-chan," Minako said in a more collected tone. She loosened her grip on Rei's jacket and patted her back quickly a couple times with her hand, "S-Stop. Stop, Rei-chan."

Rei could feel the shift in Minako's aura. Though it still flared with desire, its intensity had lessened and began exuding strong strands of concern. She cursed at herself silently for faltering at Minako's comment, "It's…It's ok, Minako," Rei said while nipping Minako's neck, "Don't worry…I'm ok."

Before Rei knew what happened, Minako quickly brought her hands in between them to the lapels of Rei's jacket. In one swift motion, she ripped the jacket off of Rei's shoulders and cinching it tightly around Rei's body, just below her elbows, pinning the archer's arms to her sides so she couldn't move. Rei nearly stumbled as she felt herself being swiftly pushed backwards until her back slammed against the opposite elevator wall.

Slam!

Rei winced, not from being slammed into the wall, but from the orange-gold aura that was now flowing through her with…Disappointment, Hurt, Sadness, and…Anger?

When she open her amethyst eyes, she was startled as they were met, not with bright, sapphire eyes, but deep, midnight-blue eyes...and tears were threatening to fall from them,

"First rule, Hino-san," Minako said in a low, slightly wavering, warning tone through gritted teeth, "When a girl says 'stop', that means stop."

Rei eyes widened as she stared back in shock at the sound of her name being called so formally, so distantly by the usually playful blonde.

After a pause, Minako firmly pushed herself off of Rei, letting go of her tight grip on the jacket and freeing the archer's arms. Rei, still in shock, didn't notice as the jacket slipped down her arms and fell to the ground, collecting behind her feet.

Minako continued to back up until she was pressed against the opposite wall. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, "You…you said you'd be honest with me," she said in a low, even tone, "You said you'd let me know if you weren't ok with something." She opened her eyes and looked at Rei with serious intensity, "I...I don't know if this is going to work if...if I can't trust you."

"M-Minako," Rei stuttered softly. She could see the overwhelming disappointment in Minako's aura, blending with strands of hurt. Ashamed and no longer able to hold Minako's intense gaze, she turned her gaze to the ground next to her,

"I'm...I'm sorry," Rei whispered, "You have every right to be disappointed in me. I'm such a baka, I didn't mean to hurt you or make you upset. I'm really sorry, Minako."

Seeing Rei practically cowering and apologizing, using words that perfectly described her own feelings, Minako knew that she had gotten Rei's attention. She softened her voice to one of concern, "Rei-chan, I know this is new for you. And I'm sure your abilities and my aura don't help in making navigating all of this easy. Talk to me, Rei-chan. You were all over me the first chance you got but you hesitated when I mentioned having sex with you. You already know how I feel about you, it's no secret I've wanted you since I saw you at Kirei. But, Rei-chan, what do you want?"

Rei looked up at the gorgeous blonde hesitantly. Minako's eyes had returned to their inviting, sapphire color and her aura returned to it's warm, protective glow she always felt so safe in. She took a small step forward, "Minako, I-," she began softly.

"Don't move," Minako said firmly, interrupting her and halting Rei in her tracks. A sting of hurt shot through Rei's heart as she watched Minako pressed herself against the wall as much as she could, trying to keep herself as far from Rei as possible.

Though it pained Minako to see the beautiful, raven-haired woman so upset by her actions, she knew it was necessary for their conversation, "I need you to stay over there. I don't want you getting confused and thinking you know what you want or don't want because of me and my aura," she explained in a softer tone, "Talk to me, Rei-chan," she repeated, "What do you want?"

"You," The word came out of Rei's mouth before she even realized it and it took her by surprise. She took a moment to think, to really think about what it was she wanted, "I…I do," she continued softly, "I want you, Minako. I want you so much, I can barely stand it. I've…I've never in my life wanted anything or...anyone more...but...," She paused, struggling with what she was about to say next. She opened her mouth to speak, but closed it again. She turned away and hung her head, shutting her eyes tightly as her hands balling into fists.

"But?," Minako encouraged gently, resisting the urge to run over and comfort the beautiful archer.

"But…," Rei started again, nervously, "I…I don't know if…if I'm ready to…reciprocate." She shook her head in disgust at herself, "I know...I know it selfish, that's why I…I thought I could, but I…I can't."

"…I see," Minako whispered.

Wrrrr…..Ding!

The elevator doors slid open as it stopped at the 13th floor, Minako's floor. Rei was frozen in place, bracing herself for Minako's reaction, anticipating Minako's next move: walk out the door, never see her again. And who would blame her? The gorgeous blonde had already been more than accommodating and understanding up to this point. First it was Rei's abilities, then this being her first relationship, and now...this? A person can only take so much.

Rei gritted her teeth, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes as she heard the sounds of footsteps going towards the door. She suspected as much. Not only had she broken Minako's trust, she was asking way too much. What made Rei think she'd be able to have the gorgeous, blonde vixen and claim her without being able to give back in return?

Wrrr…..

She allowed herself to slump against the wall behind her once she heard the elevator doors close and felt it continue on its path towards her floor. She loosened her hands and hunched over slightly as she brought her right hand up to cover her eyes in shame, as if allowing the darkness from it to hide her from the world. Her breathing was shallow as she continued trying to hold back tears. It was Minako who got hurt in all of this. If anyone deserved to shed tears, it was Minako, not her.

Rei was so consumed by her emotions, she didn't notice the sound of soft footsteps walking towards her. She jumped slightly as she felt a warm, protective, orange-gold aura seep into her as a hand caressed her right cheek and turned her head to her left, coaxing it away from the darkness. The scent of strawberries filled her as a pair of soft lips met her own in a gentle kiss.

When the kiss ended, Rei opened her eyes and was met by the most beautiful pair of sapphires she had ever seen that belonged to the most beautiful person she had ever met, "Minako," she breathed. She straightened and quickly enveloped the smaller woman in an embrace, "I…I thought you left me," Rei whispered, her voice wavering, "I thought…I thought I lost you." A rebellious tear she tried so hard to hold back, fell from her eyes.

"No, I'm right here, Rei-chan," Minako said softly in a comforting tone as she returned the embrace, stroking the archer's silky hair. After a moment, she gently broke out of Rei's hold to look at her. Her cerulean eyes saddened when she saw the wet trail on Rei's cheek. She brought a hand up to wipe the tear away with her thumb, "I just went to press the button that closed the door. You couldn't sense me?"

Rei shook her head, "No, sometimes when I get really emotionally charged, it makes it hard to sense things. It's almost like it overrides it to some extent," she explained softly, "I couldn't sense you until you touched me."

"Mmn, I see," Minako nodded. A sad smile came to her lips, "I guess I need to earn your trust too," she said softly, almost to herself. She moved her hand up to brush Rei's bangs out of her eyes, "I'm sorry for being so harsh earlier, Rei-chan. I was really upset, but I meant what I said. This can't work if we're not honest and talk to each other." She pulled Rei into another embrace, enjoying the feeling of being in the taller woman's arms. She smiled gently, "And I do want this to work, whatever this is. I want to discover what this could be with you. Because I l-," Minako stopped herself. Her eyes widened slightly in shock, Whoa, what the fuck!? I can't believe I almost said that!, she thought to herself. She quickly composed herself and cleared her throat, "Like you a lot, Rei-chan."

Rei smirked softly. Minako's hesitation didn't go unnoticed and she could feel her orange-gold aura twitch with surprise and shock. She decided not to push her luck by pressing the matter or teasing Minako about it since she was still thanking Kami-sama that Minako hadn't walked out of her life. She pulled away gently and brought a hand up to caress Minako's cheek, "I like you too, Minako. I really do." Turning serious, her lavender eyes locked onto Minako's cobalt, "I promise I'll be as honest with you as possible about the physical stuff. I might need help processing and working things out, but I'll really try for you. For us."

Minako smiled. Rei was making a promise, which meant she would definitely keep it, "Good." She wrapped her arms around Rei's neck, "Seal the deal with a kiss?" she asked playfully.

Rei chuckled, feeling the tension between them lift dramatically, "Mmn," she replied as she wrapped her arms around Minako's waist. She closed her eyes as she leaned in and brought her lips to Minako's softly, who kissed her back just as sweetly.

As they continued to kiss, the earlier spark they had between them began to ignite again. The kiss slowly deepened, timidly at first, but soon escalated until they were both panting for air, holding each other desperately close.

Minako pushed her body into Rei's, gently pinning the archer against the elevator wall. The motion brought Rei back to herself and her eyes shot open and she gently pushed Minako away, breaking the kiss, "M-Minako," she panted, her voice carrying a touch of concern, "Just...Just because I said I wanted you, doesn't mean we have to do this."

"What are you saying, Rei-chan?," Minako asked. She smirked slyly, "Are you saying you don't want to continue where we left off?," she asked sensually as she leaned in and licked the corner of Rei's mouth teasingly. She smiled slyly as she felt the taller woman shudder and let out a soft gasp, "Are you saying you don't want to take me...right here...right now?"

"N-No, I...I do," Rei replied, having a little trouble responding due to Minako's action and words. It also didn't help that she could see and feel Minako's aura beginning to take on the form of a low, ominous flame, "I...I just don't want you going along with it just because I want it. It's...It's not fair to you. Especially since I'm not ready to-"

"I know," Minako said softly as she pulled away and silenced Rei gently with a finger, "And that's ok, Rei-chan. Yes, I want you, but I'm ok with waiting until you're ready, whenever that may be." She removed her finger from Rei's alluring lips and leaned in, brushing her cheek against Rei's, "But that doesn't mean I'm ok with waiting for you to make me yours," she breathed into her ear.

Rei's breath hitched at Minako's words. She tightened her grip on the smaller woman as she felt an orange-gold, blazing aura beginning to course through her, "Please, Rei-chan," Minako continued, pleading desperately, "I need you. I want you to take me."

"Kami-sama," Rei breathed, "I want you, Minako."

"Tell me what you want to do to me, Rei-chan," Minako whispered seductively.

"Minako," Rei blushed slightly, "I don't even know where to begin."

"Don't be shy, Rei-chan," Minako encouraged softly, "I want to hear what you want to do to me."

"No, that's not what I meant," Rei replied softly. Minako pulled away to look at the archer, noticing the blush that was forming on her cheeks, "I mean, I know what to do, I'm not totally naïve about this stuff, but I...just don't know where to begin. So...," she paused as the blush darkened slightly, "What do you want me to do to you?"

Rei's eyes widened as Minako's aura nearly doubled in intensity. A sly smirk formed on Minako's lips as an idea came to her. Her breath quickened as her hooded, sapphires locking into Rei's amethysts, boring into them with lust, "I want you to use your instincts, Rei-chan," she whispered huskily.

Rei look at Minako quizzically as she watched the smaller woman close her eyes. After a few seconds, a small smile graced Minako's lips as she began moaning softly. Rei could feel Minako's body twitch ever so slightly against her, her aura was flaring violently with every movement. Suddenly, it finally dawned on Rei what Minako was trying to say. Smirking, Rei closed her eyes and focused her abilities on what Minako was envisioning in her mind.

After a few moments, Rei's eyes shot open. Her heart was racing as adrenaline coursed through her veins. She was panting heavily as if she had forgotten to breathe during that brief period of time. Minako opened her eyes slightly,

"M-Minako," Rei panted as she looking into Minako's burning gaze, "A-Are you sure?"

"Yes," Minako breathed as she nodded to emphasize her point, "I trust you, Rei-chan. I know you won't hurt me."

Rei raised an eyebrow at Minako and smirked, "You're right, you're not as innocent as you look."

"Gods, Rei-chan, just shut up and fuck me already," Minako hissed desperately.

As soon as the words left Minako's mouth, Rei spun them both so Minako was pinned against the wall. She quickly grabbed Minako's wrists and pinned them firmly above her head. Minako gasped loudly with a mix of surprise and erotic excitement.

"Is this what you wanted, Minako?" Rei challenged in a low voice.

"Yes! Gods, yes," Minako gasped, her heart beginning to race.

"'Yes', what, Minako?," Rei challenged as she moved her thigh slowly in between the smaller woman's legs, pressing it against her. Minako moaned at the motion. Her penetrating azure eyes fluttered as she tried to continue watching her beautiful dominator. Seeing Rei's amethyst eyes burning with intensity and desire, Minako knew then that they had started.

"Yes…Rei-sama," Minako breathed.

"That's a good girl," Rei purred in a low, soft voice, almost teasingly.

Wrrrr…..Ding!

The elevator stopped and the doors opened to its final destination, the 25th floor, Rei's floor.

The two women didn't move, chests heaving with anticipation, knowing that once they moved...there was no turning back.

Rei smirked as she leaned closer to Minako's ear, "I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy playing with your aura, Minako," she said in a sensual tone. She tilted her head down slightly to trail her tongue up Minako's neck. She smiled to herself as she heard Minako gasp and saw Minako's aura flare from the sensation. As Rei nipped at her neck, a whimper of pleasure came from the smaller woman while her aura continued to blaze uncontrollably. She chuckled softly as she pulled back to look at the gorgeous blonde, "But I'm not going to take you here."

Minako responded by leaning forward and snapping her teeth at Rei in protest. Her aura flared rebelliously with a passionate and desperate fierceness as if challenging the archer. Rei used her body to push Minako firmly back against the wall, reclaiming her dominance and making Minako moan loudly as her thigh hit its intended target again.

"Ah, ah, aah," Rei tisked as she smirked and shook her head, "My game, my rules. Understand?"

"Yes, Rei-sama," Minako whimpered needily.

"Good," Rei whispered approvingly in a controlled tone as she watched Minako's aura continue to flare but with more submissiveness. She chuckled lowly, "Yep, I'm really going to enjoy this," she said almost to herself, "I don't think you know how much of a pyro I am, Minako, but you're going to find out." She pulled away, leaving Minako aching for her, as she kept Minakos hands firmly in place above her head, "Now, I'm going to let you go so I can pick up my jacket. If you move, everything stops. Is that what you want?"

Minako shook her head quickly, "No, Rei-sama," she panted.

"Good girl," Rei cooed slyly. She released Minako and took a small step back from the smaller woman. She smirked slyly as she watched Minako stay perfectly still other than her chest, which rose and fell heavily with her labored breathing, and her cobalt eyes, which followed Rei's every movement.

Keeping her intense, amethyst eyes locked on Minako's hooded sapphires, Rei slowly knelt down. Once she got to the floor, she reached down with her left hand and grabbed her jacket while her right hand rested gently on the inside of Minako's right ankle. A delightful shudder ran through Minako's body at the contact and Rei licked her lips as she felt Minako's aura, laced with lust and desperate need, flow through her hand. Without breaking their gaze, Rei slowly stood up, bringing the jacket with her while dragging her hand lightly up Minako's leg.

Minako couldn't hold Rei's gaze any longer as her eyes rolled back in her head and she closed them tightly. The sensation from Rei's touch caused an overwhelming throb of anticipation deep inside of her, threatening to cause her collapse. She sucked in air through her gritted teeth, trying her hardest not to move but finding it nearly impossible. She let out a loud gasp as Rei's fingers trailed up the back of her perfectly toned calf, tracing along the inside of her knee, under her skirt, up her smooth inner thigh...

And Minako let out a half groan, half whimper of frustration when Rei's fingers stopped just inches short of where she desperately wanted them to be, "Fuuuuck," Minako whimpered raggedly as her breath quickened. Rei moved closer so that she was only inches from Minako, keeping her hand in place on the inside of her thigh.

"That was very good, Minako," Rei smirked in a low, seductive tone, "For that, you get a reward." She leaned in and pressed her lips against Minako's as her tongue dipping into the smaller woman's panting mouth. Minako's tongue responded with fervor to the kiss, making up for her immobility. Rei dragged her nails gently against Minako's inner thigh as she pulled her hand out from under her skirt, causing Minako to gasp in her mouth and tremble at the sensation. Rei abruptly cut the kiss short before Minako had her fill, chuckling lowly as she pull away. Minako whimpered as her head lolled back against the wall.

"Gods...please, Rei-sama," Minako begged needily as she opened her eyes to take in Rei's image.

"Bring your arms down in front of you, wrists together," Rei commanded in a low, controlled voice.

Minako obeyed, elated that she was being allowed to move again as it meant she was getting closer to what she desired. She would play Rei's game gladly, perfectly even, if it meant getting there faster.

Rei reached around and pulled Minako's hair ribbon until it came loose and freed her golden, silky locks. Draping her jacket over her arm, she took the ribbon in both hands and quickly bound Minako's wrists together firmly. Once she finished with her task, Rei slid her left hand under Minako's right elbow, pulling her towards the door,

"Follow," Rei commanded as she led Minako out of the elevator and towards her room. Before Rei turned to lead the way, Minako caught Rei's lavender eyes and could see an intense excitement in them. Having the knowledge of Rei wanting this just as much as she did only made Minako want it that much more.

As Rei quickly led them both towards her room, her right hand went to retrieve her room key card from her pocket. When they reached room 2525, Rei swiftly swiped the card into the card reader.

Shick...Click Click!

Once the door unlocked, Rei pushed the door open with more force than necessary, quickly pulling Minako into the room with her.

Author Note: Bonus points if you know who the characters are that were in the elevator with Rei and Minako. Since I'm not explicitly naming them, I think I'm ok getting away with not citing them for now. But citations will appear in A/Ns of Chapter 16 for those who can't guess who they are!

Fun Fact: See A/Ns at the end of Chapter 5 for explanation.

13th Floor - This was covered in the A/N at the end of Chapter 9.

3rd Floor - Cross-dresser and 3rd Celestial Warrior discovered in character's respective anime series. Fights on the side of a certain phoenix god (Bird of the South). The Chinese clothing and bangles might be a hint...

6th Floor - The number for the characters' Riot Force (if that isn't a big enough hint).

Room 2525 - A word most associated with Sailor Venus. In Japanese, the word is 'ai'.

Constructive feedback/reviews would be greatly appreciated.
