Loosening his neck tie and taking off his coat, Ruka made his way towards Natsume's bar. He opened the liquor cabinet and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. Not bothering to take a glass Ruka drank from the bottle and went towards the living room sofa.
Before taking another swig from the bottle, Ruka looked at the clock. 2:16am. He smirked, annoyed.
"You won this round Natsume, I'm sure I'll win the other one." He commented.
After a few minutes of drowning his sorrow, there was a beep from Ruka's phone. Pulling it out he read the message.
Hope you'll consider my offer.
Xoxo, Luna
...
It was at the break of dawn, Natsume stirred in his sleep and his arms circled around a warm smooth waist. With the events of last night flooding back in his head, Natsume felt an overwhelming feeling at the pit of his stomach. He never felt this happy in his life, but then a feeling of dread washed over him. He still had his eyes closed. What if when he wakes up everything had been just a really good dream and this wonderful lady in his arms would just disappear into thin air or might just be a different womman he brought home.
Tightening his arms around the waist, Natsume braved himself and slowly opened his eyes preparing himself. With his eyes open, Natsume saw long brown hair and a peaceful angelic face sleeping on his chest. Natsume watched as Mikan snuggled closer to this chest just as he pulled her closer to him.
Feeling a sense of relief, Natsume kissed Mikan's forehead and held her in his arms. As he watched her sleep Natsume knew he was the luckiest guy in the world when he heard her whisper his name in her sleep.
A few hours passed, Mikan slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by warm loving red orbs.
"Good morning" Mikan greeted a smile forming on her lips.
"Morning" Natsume greeted smiling back. He kissed her forehead, he held her cheek lovingly." I finally get to see your eyes again" he told her.
Still smiling, Mikan held Natsume's hand in hers and kissed him on the lips. When she pulled away. "Mhmm…I can get used to that." He told her pinning her down on the bed. "Though, I'll need a little more of that when I wake up every morning."
Mikan laughed heartily. "Just make sure to go easy on me".
Natsume kissed her again smiling to himself, he kissed her from her lips down to her neck and her moans of pleasure were music to his ears as he went down further. She was so intoxicating he couldn't stop.
"Looks like we're staying in bed for a while" He commented word per word after every kiss.
Mikan stopped moaning and opened her eyes remembering something, "We have to get up earlier than You-chan to prepare him for school."
Natsume stopped his explorations for a few seconds hearing Mikan take a breath. Wanting to have her all to himself, Natsume continued kissing her a mischievous smirk forming on his lips and a plan was formulating in his mind.
...
"Do you have your lunch with you?" Mikan asked.
Youichi nodded.
"What about your homework is it in your bag?" She asked again.
"Yes mom" Youichi answered.
"It looks like it's about to rain, did you-" she was cut off by Natsume.
"Mikan, Keiji has a spare umbrella with him at all times. He can take care of Youichi going to and from school" Natsume assured the worried mother, giving her shoulders a light massage.
"I can take care of myself too mom. Don't worry." Youichi added, smiling.
Keiji appeared by the front door "Master, the car is ready." He reported to Natsume, who nodded in understanding. Keiji made his way towards the car to open the door.
Youichi hugged Natsume then Mikan before running down towards the waiting car on the street. Keiji was by the door and waited for Youichi to jump into the car before closing.
Rolling down the window Youichi waved back at the two individuals by the front door. "See you later mom and dad!" Keiji turned towards the front door and bowed down to Natsume before entring the car and driving away.
Mikan crossed her arms and looked at Natsume with a raised brow. Natsume innocently looked back at her his hand in his pajama pockets. "What's wrong?" Looking genuinely innocent.
"You are such a sly fox, you know that?" She commented.
"Whatever do you mean?" Natsume answered back though a smile was creeping on his lips.
Playfully rolling her eyes, Mikan walked back inside the house making her way towards the kitchen. She grabbed a plate full of waffles added a little bit of strawberries and poured herself a glass of warm milk. She found a spot on the island counter and made herself comfortable.
Natsume watched Mikan's retreating figure and smiled to himself. He pulled out his phone and called his secretary. "Cancel all my meetings for today. I have some important matters to attend to." Without waiting for an answer Natsume dropped the call and dialed another number.
"Naru, this is Natsume Hyuuga"
"Natsume what a pleasant surprise! How can I assist you today?" Narumi cheerfully answered.
"Mikan will be on an indefinite leave starting today til tomorrow. I need you to make the arrangements with the hotel. Can you do that?"
"No worries dear. Consider it done."
Just as Natsume finished the call, he saw Mikan settle on the island counter with her food. Putting his phone in silent Natsume walked in the kitchen and sat beside her.
Mikan just focused on her breakfast. He nudged her on the shoulder. No reaction. "Can you please talk to me?"
Setting her utensils down, Mikan drank from her glass of milk and then turned to him.
Natsume looked down at her and almost smiled if she didn't look so serious right now. There was a milk-stach on her upper lip and Natsume wanted nothing more than to kiss and lick it away from her lips.
"You knew we were supposed to prepare for You-chan this morning, why did you have to send Keiji to do the work?" She started patiently.
Distractedly looking back in her eyes "I just wanted to help you out. We slept really late last night and woke up pretty early this morning. I knew you were tired." Natsume answered back sincerely touching the topic of their bedroom rendezvous.
Though with a blush on her cheeks, Mikan sighed and ran a hand on her face. She knew where Natsume was coming from. "I just really want to be hands on when taking care of You-chan. I don't like it when other people do things for him. I don't want him to get used to handmaidens or butlers. You know that."
Pulling her closer to his chest Natsume nodded in understanding. "Alright, I won't do it again unless necessary." He tilted her chin to face him, he looked into her eyes "Forgive me?" He asked.
Mikan reluctantly nodded.
Natsume smiled victoriously and pulled her in for a kiss, cleaning up the milk-stach but also to fill his personal need to kiss her.
Mikan opened her eyes again and leaned their foreheads together. "So what do you have in store for me today?" She asked. "I overheard your call with Uncle Narumi."
"You heard that?" He asked.
Mikan raised a brow. "What do you think?"
Natsume pulled her on top of his lap and savored her sweet strawberry scent. "I don't know…" he started his lips trailing butterfly kisses from her ear to her jawline to her neck. "Maybe you can give me an exclusive tour of your house?" He asked her teasingly leaving wet kisses on her neck.
He felt her shiver on his touch as his hands sensually move up and down her waist, her silk robe slipping off her smooth legs and his hands moved to caress her.
Mikan whimpered in pleasure when Natsume slowly ran his hands up and down her legs, to her waist up to her breasts as he was kissing her from her neck, to her jaw, to her lips and to her ears.
Excruciatingly slow, Natsume seductively whispered in her ear. "Or we can take the tour directly to the bedroom."
Mikan nodded weakly as Natsume carried her back to their room.
...
After finishing their shower, Natsume settled Mikan on top of the bathroom counter and drying her hair. Mikan ran her hands from his strong shoulders to his chest. She leaned down to kiss him on the lips running her hands on his still wet hair, after their short but rather hot make out session Mikan pulled away and laughed.
"We are acting like hormonal teenagers" she commented planting another kiss on his lips.
Natsume shook his head taking her hands in his hands and kissing them lovingly on the knuckles. "We're in love. There's nothing but to act like we are." He told her.
Mikan blinked. Did I hear just right?
Brushing away the stray locks on her face, Natsume smiled on her stunned expression. "I'm in love with you Mikan Sakura-Yukihara."
...
That afternoon, both Mikan and Natsume were on the roof top garden eating snacks with Mikan looking away into the sky line. "Aren't we going a little too fast" she vaguely asked.
Natsume stopped midway eating his croissant and turned to Mikan. He studied her for a moment before asking. "Are you having second thoughts?"
Mikan snapped out of her trans and turned back to him. "No…of course not."
His furrowed mirroring his worry. "Then what is it?" He asked holding her hand.
Sighing, Mikan looked into his eyes "I'm just worried we won't last long since everything has been going perfect with you. A little too perfect might I add."
"You are dating Natsume Hyuuga, expect everything to be perfect around me" he told her.
Mikan rolled her eyes at his smug reply."I was wondering where that side of you went." she commented drily.
Natsume boyishly smiled and reassuringly held both of Mikan's hands and looked into her eyes. "I won't let anything happen to what we have. I love to you too much to let that happen."
Taking a deep breath Mikan smiled up at him "I don't know what you did to make me fall in love with you. You arrogant jerk."
Natsume laughed. "That last statement wasn't necessary, but I'll take it anyway." He pulled her in for a kiss.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Youichi announced from downstairs.
Natsume pulled away and sighed. "Will it be too much to ask for five more minutes with you?" he asked.
Mikan smiled and shook her head. "When You-chan is at home, it is family time not me and you time." she stood up from her chair just in time as Youichi ran up to the door holding up a paper with Keiji right behind him.
"I got an A on my math test!" he announced excitedly.
"Good job You-chan!" Mikan exclaimed catching Youichi in a big hug.
Keiji made his way to Natsume. "Good afternoon Master." he bowed down.
Natsume gave a nod watching the mother and son a few distance from him. "How was your day with Youichi?"
Keiji had a smile on his lips "Reminds me of you when you were little, Master. Just less angry and grumpy." he answered.
They both laughed.
"What are you both laughing about?" Mikan asked just as she and Youichi toom their seats.
Natsume held her hand and kissed her knuckle "I'm telling Keiji how much I adore watching you" he turned to Youichi ruffling his hair "and Youichi together."
Mikan looked at him lovingly giving his hand a light squeeze before pulling away. "I'm sure you're hungry, You-chan. what would like from our food selection?" Mikan turned to Youichi.
While Mikan was fussing around Youichi, Natsume noticed Keiji frown at his phone before turning to him. "Master, we have a situation." he whispered to his ear.
Natsume nodded, not leaving his eyes away from the mother and son.
Keiji continued "It was reported that Master Ruka has moved out from the hotel this morning."
Natsume sighed and closed his eyes.
Mikan looked up from feeding Youichi and pouted. "What's wrong?"
Natsume held her hand again and ran his thumb on her knuckles. "Just work, don't worry." he assured her.
"So how was school?" he diverted the topic turning to Youichi.
