In a faraway kingdom, it was ruled by a beautiful and kind princess. She was a well-respected and everyone seemed to love her. Within the castle, so many have gathered to meet her as she sat upon the throne of her chair.

"All hail for Princess Orihime!" Her trusted advisor called as all hailed to her. Being a little modest, she blushed from the kind of attention she was getting. Orihime was a great ruler and she always appeared kind and innocent. To her, all that mattered to her was that her kingdom was well. "Now, we address to the matter. We welcome home the brave knights who have fought our kingdoms."

"I hope that's my cue to come in." Everyone looked to the entrance of the castle and saw a knight dressed in armor with black clothing came walking in.

"Sir Ichigo, welcome back." The advisor said with Orihime really happy to see him again, but she tried to act proper for this. Ichigo made his way through the hall until he reached the throne and dropped down to one knee.

"Welcome home, Sir Ichigo." Orihime said.

"Thank you, Princess Orihime. We fought back against our nation's enemies and were able to drive them away." Ichigo claimed. "The other knights are quite eager and glad to be home."

"And we are all glad you are home." Orihime claimed. "I insist that you and the other knights that fought bravely rest, take your time to rejoice. We are all thankful for all that you and the other knights have done."

"Thank you." Ichigo said. He looked up with their eyes meeting. They tried their best to make it look appropriate, respectable, and platonic. However, there was something going on through the mind of both of them. Soon, other knights came in and were all welcomed home with them being honored for what they have all done. A celebration was held for those who fought for the kingdom. When she finally had a moment to herself, Orihime stepped away and walked down a corridor. When she did, she spotted Sir Ichigo standing against the wall like he was waiting for.

"Sir Ichigo... Why aren't you joining the celebration? It's all for what you and your fellow knights do for the kingdom." Orihime asked.

"I'm not really one party. Besides, I much rather spend the time with someone special to me." Ichigo said.

"Then perhaps you should." Orihime said as she walked closer to him. Then, when he was certain no one could see them. He gently grabbed her and moved her against the wall with both of them holding each other. "I feared I might never see you again."

"I'm here now." Ichigo said as he pressed his forehead to hers. He was about to kiss her, but she stopped him. Both of them were resisting the urge for what it is they really wanted to do. They were breathing heavy from resisting.

"Not here. Come to my room tonight." Orihime said as she thought this wasn't the time or place. She had to break away from him. She did look back and winked at him with Ichigo looking forward to tonight.

"I guess the princess isn't as innocent as everyone thinks." Ichigo joked.

Orihime's Room

Later that night, Orihime remained in her room and awaited for Ichigo's arrival. She just remained where she was with a cool breeze flowing in through her balcony door. Then, she heard the door opened up and she saw him walk in.

"You made it!" Orihime said as she stood up.

"It was easy when I told them that you wanted to see me about something." Ichigo said. "I wish we didn't have to hide from them."

"As do I, but there are those who would find this unethical." Orihime said. "I fear that they might try to keep us apart."

"Well, I don't fear anything." Ichigo said as he drew his sword and pointed it out to her. "I fight anyone who could come between us and prove my worth to you." Orihime loved that he would do that. She walked closer as she slid her hand against his sword and his arm.

"You have nothing to prove to the likes of me." Orihime said. The two of them were deeply in love, but had to hide their relationship since there are those who wouldn't agree to it. That's why it's moments like this that they treasure. "You still need to be bestowed a reward for what you've done." She claimed and closed off the distance with them kissing each other with such love and passion and could finally have their moment together. Orihime bestowed that reward as the two of them stripped down. Well, almost stripped down. Ichigo found it more appealing with her having a dress-like piece hanging off her waist and a bra-like piece over her chest, but her legs were completely exposed. The two of them just laid in her bed. Ichigo just sat back and enjoyed himself as Orihime was next to him and had her hand stroking something he rather enjoyed.

"It's like I said before... You're not as innocent as the people thought..." Ichigo said with him enjoying what she was doing and still gets a little surprised by her behavior.

"It's only natural for a woman to please the man she loves." Orihime said as she continued with what she was doing. "It's all...different when you do it out of love." Ichigo loves her as well. As he turned on his side and kissed her. He didn't stop there as he slid hid hand between her legs and gave her some pleasure as well. The two of them just stayed like that. They continued to kiss each other as their hands moved against the other. Moaning in each other's mouths, the two of them enjoyed the fact that they can even be so close with each other. Their love couldn't be contained this time, and neither could something else as both of them felt something wet squirt against them. Ichigo continued on as he pushed a little further and was now on top of her. They finally separated with their tongues moving away from each other.

"Orihime..."

"Ichigo..." They stared at each other with such love. Ichigo then took both of her arms with one hand and held them over her head. Once he did that, he gently pushed his pelvis against her. As she felt him against her, Orihime moaned with delight. Ichigo started out gently and soon picked up the pace. It started out gentle, but they couldn't hold back how they were really feeling any longer. Ichigo hammered against her with her taking shallow breaths for Ichigo was taking hers away. He didn't stop there as he took his free hand and opened up her top. He took his free hand and slid against her exposed skin. Orihime felt true bliss from his touch. It's from this alone that she feels like she's really with the one she loves. As Ichigo continued to hammer against him, he looked to the side and saw the balcony door open.

"Hmm..." Ichigo thought it over and got a fun idea. Before Orihime knew it, Ichigo pulled away from her. After that, he pulled her right off the bed and went outside. Once that happened, she found herself against the railing.

"Ichigo, what are you doing?" Orihime questioned.

"This way, we can really feel like we're opened about us." Ichigo said as he grabbed her by the waist and lifted up her dress, finding her to be so beautiful in the moonlight.

"What if someone sees?" Orihime questioned.

"Like I said, I'll fight others off so we can be together. That's all that matters to me." Ichigo said. Just then, he pushed against her again. He rapidly kept pounding against her with Orihime hanging on to the railing like her life depended on it. She sounded like she was whining, but it was out of joy and pleasure. Using the railing to try and keep herself up, she felt herself getting weak in the legs from what Ichigo does to her. As the cool nightly air blew against them, Orihime could really feel Ichigo's warmth. Her body got so relaxed that she let out a small scream as she felt her insides shoot and her legs became wobblily. She might have finished, but Ichigo didn't as he pulled her back. Then, he had her against the balcony floor with her right over her to finish what he started. With Orihime's legs around him, he continued pushing against her. She reached up and coiled her fingers through his hair. Both of them looked down at each other, never taking their eyes away from each other, even when Orihime's breasts bounced under her face. Ichigo loved her like she loved him. He felt fortunate to have the likes of her.

"Grah... Argh..." He sighed out as he finally felt his final step. Orhime endured through it, savoring the feeling of the one she loves. The two of them did some heavy breathing, but never took their eyes away from each other.

"I love you..." They both claimed with Orihime pulling him closer to her.

"Hello? Is someone out there?" Ichigo could see someone coming out on a neighboring balcony. He acted fast and rolled the two of them back into her room before anyone could see them.

"Sorry. It's just that you were worried someone would see us." Ichigo said. "I wish we didn't have to hide."

"As do I. Hopefully, the time will come when we can be opened about us." Orihime said. "Until then, it just makes moments like this more valuable." She said as she kissed him with that love again. They both hope for the day where the knight can truly be with his princess. Until that time comes, they plan to value the moments they do have.
