Hey everyone, the next chapter is up as promised!

For anyone that may not have been able to review, that has to do with the fact that reviews remain attached to their chapters. So far I have uploaded chapters 10-14 twice, so if you commented on the first update, it will not let you review the same chapter again even though it is a new chapter. I hope that clears some things up and it should not happen anymore from this chapter on. And thank you so much for those that have contacted me about it. I really appreciate your messages and reviews :) Thanks a ton!

This might be a little random (and by all means, skip this crap because it's not important), but in regards to something minor in the previous chapter, there is something that I just have to get off my chest. If there are any Seiya fans here, stop reading now. I just want to say that I don't like the Starlights, especially Seiya. I hate him. U/M ALL DAY! I hate Seiya so much that even though it would have been easier to make Ichigo Seiya instead, I simply cannot handle the idea of Seiya and Usagi ever being together. I substituted a canon character with a random one, thus sacrificing inherit drama, but it was something that I truly believed had to be done. Seiya is a loser. I don't want him even holding hands with my Usagi. Which is why I'm calling myself out as a genius for making Seiya gay. You're welcome. Now he will nevergo after Usagi! MUAHAHA. But enough on that rant, I just thought everyone should know how I feel about Seiya. I hate him—in case it wasn't clear. I hate him so much.

I'm super sorry about all of that, but I feel so much better now. Smfan4ever72, you're right, we will never see Seiya again. Bon voyage, sucker! Thank you so much for your review, it made me feel giddy that people might actually get what I'm trying to do in the story :) I thank you so much for your thoughts and I hope that as the story progresses, Mamoru also continues to develop in your eyes. I don't want to let you down! He will never be that sweet boy from down the road, but hopefully he'll prove to us that his heart isn't three sizes too small either :P

Well, that's enough I think. You may go on now! Enjoy the story!

Chapter 12

Tease Me

*Usagi*

The moment she picked up Cass's phone call it was clear she was in a bad mood. She wouldn't tell her over the phone exactly what happened, but she understood the gist of it: Cass and Mamoru were no longer on speaking terms.

Earlier, Cass received a call from Mamoru explaining that he'd forgotten about a Furuhata family dinner they were supposed to attend. Cass resisted, complaining that she hadn't been given enough time to prepare (instead of the logical thing about not wanting to hang out with her ex-lover's family), but she rushed home to get ready anyway. That had been a few hours ago.

"Can you come out?" Cass asked her over the phone.

"Sure!" she answered and quickly started packing an overnight bag because it was almost 10:30pm and she may as well sleep over. "You sound like you're in a car. Are you coming to pick me up?"

"Yeah, I'll be over in twenty minutes. I have so much to tell you." She sounded drained. "I can't believe I wasted my night going over there… I'll call you when I'm downstairs."

After packing her things, she headed into the kitchen and set down her bag on the dining table. Her mother hummed while she prepared her father's lunch for the next day. Once she was given permission to stay out, she helped prepare the rice as she waited for her ride. She was finishing sprinkling the sesame seeds on the onigiri when her father walked in.

"Where do you plan on going this late at night?" She turned around as he unzipped her backpack. Before she could stop him he shoved his hand inside looking for incriminating clues. Only when he pulled up one of her bras did he promptly stop his search. She hurried over to swish him away and zip her bag close.

"She's staying with Cass," her mother answered. Kenji crossed his arms.

"I spy on people for a living," he warned. She rolled her eyes.

"Spying and journalism isn't the same thing, honey," her mother said mildly.

"Either way, I always find out the truth." He fixed her with a steady glare. "And you," he pointed at her, "are always up to no good." She smiled and went to give him a hug. He had no idea…

"Never!" she cried and he held her tightly. She loved her father but he could be so overprotective sometimes. She let go of him just when her phone rang and grabbed it from the kitchen table without answering. Hauling her bag in a rush, she yelled goodbye over her shoulder.

She made her way to the front gate where Cass was already out the car waiting for her. Cass waved animatedly to her parents, including her love-struck brother who was staring out his bedroom window. It was something she told Cass to do so that her parents could better digest the wholesome picture she'd drawn of her for them. It also helped play into the illusion of them having harmless fun, instead of what they really did. Sometimes she wondered if her father really went out of his way to find out where she went like he often threatened. She wouldn't put it past him and only knew he didn't because otherwise he would never let her leave the house.

Cass filled her in on all events during their car ride. She nodded along because there was nothing she could say to make her feel better. Maybe Mamoru had felt like he was doing her a favor by being honest, but he only made it worse. In her opinion, after all that happened it would have been better to have kept that information to himself. Not only did it prove to Cass that she'd indeed had a grip on Motoki before he'd been yanked away, worse yet it confirmed her suspicion of foul play. It was Mamoru's fault. She wasn't at all surprised at how selfish he could be, but it was still disappointing that he didn't care about breaking his two friends apart.

"If I have to be sober for another five minutes I don't know what I'm going to do with myself." Cass rushed straight for the bar when they'd walked into her apartment. The entertainment room had an entire wall dedicated to every type of liquor and Cass reached for the largest vodka bottle mounted.

"Let's go out," she suggested after Cass hadn't bothered herself with a cup.

"Like I'm really going to stay here all night," Cass muttered after coming up for air, "of course we're going out."

She followed Cass upstairs into her dressing room and they went on the hunt for outfits. Unfortunately, her search seemed impossible since she couldn't fit into many of her clothes. Her petite frame couldn't compete with so much booty and breasts, not to mention a lot of Cass's clothes had been altered. Luckily, she still had many off-the-rack purchases and due to Cass's love of skintight anything, she was able to find a closet full of dresses that fit perfectly.

Cass ripped the tags off a red dress with triangular cutouts on the sides. The neckline accentuated her cleavage even more, her chest a soft, inviting puddle. Trying not to be outshone too much (although anytime out with Cass she was destined to be part of the ambiance), she pulled out a turquoise dress that left her entire back exposed.

"Try this one," Cass threw another dress at her after she saw her model in front of the mirror. "That one's too modest."

She tried on the dress. Cass called to invite girlfriends and argued for a long time about which club they should head to while reapplying her mascara. Usagi was able to check herself out in the 180-degree mirror for only a minute before being ushered out the apartment. Once climbing into their awaiting taxi, she confirmed their destination and sent a mass text to the girls. Mako said she would try but she knew that was a no, and Rei said she'd be over in an hour and that she'd call when she was outside. She didn't bother with Mina because Cass only met her once and frankly, it was a bit too soon for them to start hanging out again. Ami, of course, didn't bother with a response.

When they entered the club through a side entrance, she was surprised that it was so packed before midnight; it felt as if there were 4 people standing per square foot. It was a struggle just to make it across the room, but somehow they made it to the bar after much pushing and shoving. Cass nearly jumped over the counter in at their success and after ordering their drinks disappeared into the masses with only a single glance back to signify her—hopefully soon—return.

Realizing a few moments later that she had no cash on her, she stood from her seat and looked around for Cass, but it was no use. It was impossible to find anyone in the crowd and she sighed in annoyance at Cass's hasty departure. She couldn't pay for the drinks by swiping because her father would find out where she was in a heartbeat; he was obsessive when it came to checking her monthly credit card statements. Telling the bartender she had to get her wallet, she excused herself to go find Cass. She had no idea where she went, but figured she'd check the bathroom first.

"I got it, sweetheart." Someone grabbed her arm and she turned around to find a guy in his early twenties at the stool beside her. He called the bartender over again and ordered her another drink. The guy seemed harmless, but she hesitated before taking her seat again. "Rubeus." He extended his hand and she took it. "I see you're here with Koan."

"You know each other?" she asked. He could either be an acquaintance or a creep stalker fan of Cass's. She had to be careful.

"I'm Sapphire's brother," he said, sliding the martini in front of her. She thanked him, recalling Diamond describing his youngest brother and took a sip. It was weird how all three of them looked absolutely nothing alike.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Usagi."

"Usagi?" he repeated like it sounded familiar. Crap. Did Diamond mention her before? "Tsukino?" She nodded and nervously took another sip. Just where was Cass at anyway? She needed to get out of there fast. It would be dreadful if Diamond were around and found her.

Rubeus excused himself to make a phone call and she contemplated taking the moment to leave. He had his back to her and wouldn't notice, nor would he find her again considering the crowd. Then it hit her; what if he was calling Diamond over? She stood up quickly. She did not want to see him. Suddenly a hand was on her shoulder and she spun quickly hoping to see Cass. It wasn't her. It was someone so much better. Mamoru. Her savior.

She didn't bother wondering about the chances of him being there or finding her. All that mattered was that he had perfect timing. She stood up immediately and followed him through the crowd not caring at all that she'd just left Rubeus without excusing herself.

Mamoru pulled her by the hand as he weaved her through the dance floor wondering where he was leading them. He was moving so fast and all she could think about was how his middle finger kept rubbing the inside of her palm the entire time. She bit her lip, giddy with nervousness. What was he thinking? They finally came to a stop near an emergency exit and he spun her around in a quick dance move. She gasped and held onto his shoulder for balance.

"Why are you everywhere I turn?" he asked, his hand on her hip slowly moving lower.

"It's because you're following me," she teased. "Just so you can pull me away from guys, I suspect."

"You have a bad habit of staying around men you don't like." He cupped her backside and squeezed. He was nothing if not intoxicating.

"Explains why I'm here with you."

"You don't like me now?" He stepped up closer, his leg moving in between hers. She shook her head slightly, but couldn't resist his allure. Their faces were so close. "Where's Cass?" His abrupt change of subject brought her back to reality.

"I don't know where she went." She took a deep breath to divert from their closeness. "But I doubt she wants to talk to you." She tried to take a step back from him, but he pulled her by the waist again. "How did you know we were here?"

"I had no idea you were going to be here," he replied. "But it's easy to find Cass. We know the same people." He looked down at her. "Why were you talking to Rubeus?" She couldn't explain why his question made her laugh, but it did. He was so nosy.

"He bought me a drink."

"I can too, if that's what you want." She wanted to laugh again. So now it was about what she wanted? Where had this guy been all this time? "But you shouldn't be drinking." He moved close to her ear and she pushed herself against him. "It's like you enjoy purposely doing everything you're not supposed to." He thrust his leg further into her and she stopped breathing. If she made a single move, she'd be riding his thigh. "Don't you?" he insisted, shifting his leg again so that it grinded against her. She nodded mindlessly.

"Maybe you should tell me what to do," she mumbled. Mamoru made her shameless. Her eyes were already closed, her forehead pressed against his chest. He spoke low into her hair, his free hand wrapping itself behind her neck.

"I'll more than enjoy doing that."

Everything around them fell back and it was just that moment. Around them it was too loud, too hot and way too crowded, but in this moment she would strip all her clothes off and give herself to him. In this moment she would beg him, beg him, for more. She would do whatever he wanted. She would hump his leg like a horny dog and it wouldn't matter if the world saw her.

Then she noticed Cass looking around for her and snapped out of it. Actually, she would totally mind.

"She's right behind us," she whispered frantically.

He moved away and just like that the moment was over. Mamoru turned around distracted and they separated. Cass hadn't seen them yet and part of her was torn between hating her or hating him.

"I need to talk to her," Mamoru said, "but she'll just walk away from me. Tell her that one of her friends is waiting for her upstairs."

"Who?"

"It doesn't matter. Say whoever you want. She looks drunk enough to not care."

"I shouldn't tell her anything," she muttered. "What you did-"

"That's none of your business," he clipped. "Besides," he started smiling again, "she always forgives me." Her hands clenched at her sides as she prepared to go but he held her back. "You got lucky," he said. She pulled away.

"Super lucky," she muttered and stalked away. She was suddenly yanked back fiercely, her back against his chest.

"Don't walk away from me." His arm went around to hold her in place, his hands dangerously close to cupping her breast. "We're not done yet." He stuck his tongue in her ear and the shock of it made her jump. "Meet me on the 3rd floor afterwards." Then he was gone.

*Mamoru*

Unsurprisingly, things didn't go as well as he'd wanted with Cass. As soon as she saw him she threw her drink at him. Thankfully she was a million miles away and uncoordinated enough that she'd been no real threat, but still. The glass shattered somewhere behind him and Usagi laughed hard, her drink spilling all over the floor as she shook trying to cover her mouth.

"You really think that this is just going to be over? Just like that?" Cass roared. "Fuck you!"

Cass stormed out the room and Usagi followed her out, but not before sticking her tongue out at him. He put his three fingers up in reminder and she scrunched her nose back at him like she didn't want to meet him, but he knew she'd show up. As soon as she lost Cass in the crowd downstairs, she'd come running back.

When they were gone, he left the lounge and walked into his main suite. It was the largest private section in the club and a miniature version of downstairs with tiny rows of star-like lighting on the ceiling. Walking to the bar, he went around the counter and pulled out a few of his favorite bottles from the shelves and two cups. Moving around the elevated dance floor and single DJ booth, he made his way to his seat.

The black wrap-around couch circled from one side of the room to the other with the center seat being widest part. And his throne. Setting everything on the table, he poured himself a drink and listened to the low music that played from the speakers around him. He could still hear the music from downstairs, the walls vibrating around him from the bass at every beat.

Behind him were panels of different colors veils that moved aside and let him split the room in half if he wanted more seclusion. It gave the room a mystical, Arabian feel and he stared up at the ceiling, taking another drink while he waited. Usagi should be here any minute. He had told the staff to leave him alone for the hour and to not return until he called them back in. They weren't allowed to let anyone in that wasn't Usagi and he couldn't have been more relieved when she finally arrived ten minutes later.

"The party was in here the whole time?" she said as she looked around the empty room. "I had no idea."

She wobbled in her tan suede wedged boots. The shoulders to her long-sleeved, midnight blue dress were squared off and sharp, giving her a futuristic look but all he could focus on was the plunging neckline.

He stood up and waited for her to reach him. She pulled the drink off his hand and downed his warm sake in a single take, slamming it on the table beside them after a single gulp. She took a seat, pulled off her shoes and threw them aside. Then she laid down. He followed suit and watched as she impatiently pushed her hair away from her neck and face. Her cheeks were flushed.

"Are you ok?" he asked after she finally looked up at him. She nodded, reaching for his cheek and pinching it.

"Yes." She dropped her hand but continued to stare up at him. "I just want to stay here for a bit." She closed her eyes and appeared to fall asleep.

For a few moments he remained beside her, feeling her soothing aura surround him. She purred like a pale rose, the prettiest shade of pink he'd ever seen. He stroked her hair and Usagi opened her eyes.

"I like being here with you," she whispered.

They remained in the same position for a few minutes, she on her back and him on his side over her. His mind was blissfully blank thanks to the quick work of his potent drinks and he relaxed. He opened his eyes a little while later to find her staring at the ceiling. He stood to get them water and she sat up with him, already reaching out for the bottles on the table. Knocking her hand away, he pushed the bottles further from her reach because he knew she would be too lazy to get up. Whether she noticed or not she retreated her hand and said nothing and laid back down.

"Pour me some more," she croaked. "It was good."

She was definitely tipsy and it would probably be best to send her home soon. He checked his watch and realized that they'd already been in the room for 45 minutes.

"Some of that wine," she said again, looking up to point at another bottle on the table. "I'm so thirsty."

She sat up again and waited for him to pass her the drink. She wasn't paying any attention to him so he poured a tiny bit of the wine for color and filled the rest with water from a pitcher he found on one of the tables. He gave it to her and wondered if she would notice the difference. She drank it in one go, called it delicious and asked for a refill. Not a good sign.

"Tell me when you're going home," he said giving her a glass full of water. "I'll take you." She shook her head.

"I'm staying over at Cass's. I'll leave when she does."

She was sitting up now, her eyes more focused. She curled her finger at him, beckoning him over. Ignoring the drink he gave her, she pulled him down until he was sitting next to her again and he placed the cup somewhere on the floor by his feet. She kneeled beside him, hugging his head to her chest. He was suddenly very awake.

"Mamoru…"

"What?" he mumbled, mouth full of cleavage.

She moaned as he licked around the borders of her dress. She didn't have to tell him what she wanted.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, he tugged until she climbed on top of him. Placing wet kisses all over her neck and collarbone, he bit the secret place at the base of her neck that he knew drove her crazy. She moaned into his ear.

Judging by the way she moved on top of him she wanted more and kept guiding his face to poke underneath her dress. Deciding to toy with her a bit, he licked and bit close to her breasts without any direct contact just to fulfill his own pleasure. As she had done to him, she was going to learn what it meant to wait.

His hands went to her neck with his thumbs massaging her collarbone. He pulled down the front of her dress until the material was secure under her breasts and kissed in between them, rubbing each one carefully. Licking slowly from the bottom of her breast up, he moved his tongue all over her darkened target until she whimpered. Taking one into his mouth, he sucked for along time. She tasted like everything he could ever want.

He moved his arms to squeeze her tiny waist and Usagi's shallow breaths further fed into his need to tease her. He pulled away briefly when his ears picked up on something. Cass was just outside the door arguing for the guard to let her in. She was looking for Usagi.

"Don't stop," Usagi insisted, the drinks making her dull to the risks. He passed his fingers over the softness of her side breast and then pulled her nipple. She closed her eyes. "Please, don't stop."

He was not inclined to disobey, but Cass was notorious for flashing her way past anybody. Although he did not want to leave Usagi just yet, he was in no rush to get caught.

"Let's see how fast you can come, Odango."

Swirling his tongue around her nipple, he continued his assault in the hopes of building her quickly. He sucked hard, smashing both breasts together so that he could quickly alternate between them. She forced her mouth shut as he bit one then the other, moving back and forth until she was writhing with unsatisfied desire. He grabbed the back of her neck, his fingers entangling in her hair and tilted her head up. Kissing her throat, he moved down to bite her shoulder while his hand roamed down the side of her body.

"Mamoru." He slowly rubbed in between her legs and she tensed. "Mamoru!" He smiled. His pleasure came from her saying his name.

"Mmhm?" He stroked her inner thighs. She closed her eyes again, a whine coming from the back of her throat. "Tell me," he baited. "What do you want?"

"Uh!" she grunted. "Just touch me already!" She was jumping on his hand, grinding against his palm. "Mamoru, please!" She arched her chest out into his face and bounced faster.

He moved his fingers back and forth as she neared her peak. Stopping before she fully tensed, he moved away and watched as she tried to catch her breath. She looked up at him deliriously, confused as to why he'd stopped.

"Where are you going?" she asked after he started walking away. He turned only to answer.

"I'm going to let Cass in and tell her I found you."

She gave him a blank stare.

"Now you'll know what it's like to be left hanging," he clarified. She furrowed her brows as it sunk in that he was going to abandon her all hot and bothered. "It's just a little payback. You should have called me back sooner, Odango. I said you'd regret it."

Her mouth was a straight line as she stared in loathing. Flipping him off, she put her shoes back on and stormed into the bathroom. He continued walking to the door, but he could hear her curse him even from across the room. He wasn't actually planning on letting Cass in, but he wanted to bother her about it anyway. However, he was serious about getting back at her.

He was just as horny, but he wanted to give Usagi some time for his lesson sink in. She should never believe that she could get away with dismissing him like she had the other day, nor should he be kept waiting around until she felt like getting back to him. They were going to be doing things on his terms from now on and this was her final warning. Usagi needed to remember who had the control here.

The way I imagined Mamoru leaving was with Kanye West's 'Power' playing in the background. Haaaeeeey Oh!

I'll promise to update as quickly as I can. Have a great weekend!
