The Scene

After the wedding and everything settled down, I was back at work. Someone has to pay the bills, and I refuse to let Chizuru do all the work. But I must've been working too much since Chizuru has been urging me to tone it down slightly.

It's not that I'm neglecting the marriage, far from it. I've enjoyed every second from the moment our vows were finalized, and I don't think I could have a partner who melds with me as well as Chizuru.

However, I didn't consider that she also has my best interest heart, just like I do for her. That includes my personal health. I can't be a good husband if I can't even walk. So, after bugging me for months, Chizuru finally convinced me to take a day to myself by taking me to a hot spring. She pointed me to my private bath and instructed me on what to do. So I got undressed, grabbed and wrapped my towel around, and headed for the tub. A short walk on the path guided me to the bath itself. Steam rose as it fogged up the immediate area. I can barely read the sign that says the bath's in front of me.

I disrobe and ease into the water in case it's hotter than anticipated. Thankfully, the heat did a terrific job soothing me, my lower half-submerged in the water.

Taking a deep breath, the aches I didn't know I had melted away.

"Ahhhhhhh."

I sink further into the bath, both eyes closed to internalize how good this all felt. "I need to thank Chizuru for setting this up. The stress in my body before isn't there anymore."

"That's a wonderful image, sweetie."

"I know ri-"

I looked to my left and see my wife Chizuru smile, lacking all clothing since she's also in the bath.

"Chizuru?" I asked, completely bewildered.

She chuckled before pecking my cheek. "What? You were expecting me to not relax with my husband?" She inched her way toward me. "Like I'd waste this opportunity. Work has been hell these past few days. Rose has grown petty and won't accept the terms of the partnership, meaning we can't co-host KOF XIV."

I hugged Chizuru from behind, her back against my chest. "Really? She sounded all for it before. What made her change out of the blue?"

The steam might've screwed with my vision, but I think my wife's blushing. "She found out about... the list."

My eye began twitching. "How did she find out? That was supposed to be between us."

When Chizuru and I got engaged, we made a list of our sexual fantasies before tying the knot. No decision came on the wedding date until the list was finalized. There were five items on there, number one being to have a threesome. Using her powers, Chizuru summoned a lost love of mine - Tifa Lockhart. That session was many things, pleasurable one of them. Good thing I didn't accidentally get Tifa pregnant, though her lustful gaze was tempting to give into. (THAT I have to see!)

Adelheid told me that Rose was crushing on me... hard. I suppose she felt some way when word got around we were married.

"She wasn't in a talking mood after catching wind of our threesome with Tifa or the fact that we were wed. Either we find an acceptable deal, or someone else will gain the money to host before we agree," my wife spoke.

I eased her nerves with a cheek kiss. "If she won't agree, it's whatever. There are other ventures you can take, honey."

"I know. But it's been a long time since I hosted the KOF. Well... willingly."

The thought of Botan possessing Chizuru still runs through the mind every now and again. I'm glad Those from the Past don't exist anymore, so they won't cause havoc for the sake of their femboy leader.

I lean back on the bath's edge. "This is really nice. Thanks for setting this up, Chizu."

Chizuru smiles before pecking my lips. "Of course. Rose pushes my buttons, but you're risking your life with these cases. You've dealt with the shady behind-the-scenes antics in 2003 and the KOF XIII."

"Don't worry about me. I never overstep when gathering information. Plus, I had good teammates both years, even if Ash was part of the entire problem. I was careful before marrying you. And now that I am, even more so."

"You and your vernacular, Koga. Has anyone mentioned that you can't verbally serenade your way out of every bad situation?"

"A few times." I playfully punch the space on her sides a few times. "But I have lethal hands."

Giggling at my light jests, Chizuru softly clutches my hand. "Falling for you was the best thing that's ever happened to me. I get to see a side of you that not even Tea sees."

When Tea gave Chizuru permission to use her nickname, that was when I knew I found the one.

My wife then displayed a worried expression. "I just hope that I'm not putting too much pressure on you."

"Not at all. Even if your folks aren't my biggest fans, they still gave me their blessing to marry you. Everyone in my family loves you, so do the natives." I kiss her hand, Chizuru's blush returning. "I couldn't have asked for a better spouse."

*Tch* "Your vernacular has done it again. I'm normally so composed yet I turn into a blushing mess when around you." Her hot breath touched my mouth. "We would never get anything done as business partners."

"For more reasons than one," I point out.

One thing I wasn't expecting when we started dating was Chizuru's sex drive. Our first time making love lasted the entire night, and ever since, her stamina just kept improving. It doesn't help that she's among the most beautiful women I have ever laid my eyes on. She pulls off anything she wears, most of all, her birthday suit. Okay, I'm going to stop before I get hard.

Too late... shit.

"Oh? Does someone have an erection?"

"I was thinking about things that I shouldn't when nude. You can just ignore it," I tried to weasel out of the hole I dug for myself.

Chizuru wasn't having that, her blush growing as she bit the corner of her lip. "No worries, Koga. I think about you naked all the time, even when I'm at work. Giving a presentation, your flawless physique, hypnotizing red eyes, your..." Her blush hit its apex. "Masterful strokes of passion. I normally take my time when giving speeches or reports, but when that happens? I rush through so I can go to the restroom to touch myself."

I didn't know my wife could be so perverted. Even in the bedroom, Chizuru's extraordinarily caring and civilized.

"I mean, we're only half a year into the marriage, but I'm elated that you still think of me this way." She gave me a lustful kiss, her moans indicative of her intentions.

My goddess. Our bodies are wet from the hot spring, on top of her nipples prodding my chest.

"I love you, Koga," Chizuru rasped after we finally separated to breathe.

I kiss the bridge of her nose. "I love you too, Chizu."

"I love that nickname." She gave me one final kiss before clutching my shaft, teasingly stroking my manhood. "So, what are we going to do about this stallion?"

Oh, my Din... This feels magnificent.

"I... mean it, Chizu. You don't have t-"

"Oh, my sweet, adorable, otto. (husband)" My lover leans in before whispering in a sultry tone, "But I want to."

To my disbelief and excitement, Chizuru disappeared beneath the springwater, working over my erection and jewels. Din, give me the strength to survive this... And give Chizuru the fortitude to endure the session I'm giving her after she's done.

Because I am about to rearrange her guts and screw her brains out.

Alwaysdoubted's response

Quiet evenings like tonight were what introverts sought in a personal refuge, figuratively speaking. The sounds of nature mixed with the tranquil scene of stars littering the darkened sky made for an ideal setting. His body stands out on the balcony deck of the private penthouse, clad in only black briefs that reached to mid-thigh. Sweat brims around his forehead due to an unusual heatwave at the dawn of Spring.

Not his favorite season, but it wasn't the worst.

Street lamps leading up to the dwelling illuminate the paved stone street for a vivid picture of what peace represents. Empty, nothing around for miles despite the capital a mere half-hour walk in terms of distance.

A gentle breeze causes an unnoticeable warmth to traverse down his spine. Life had finally settled down a sense of normalcy, though the young man for his species knew such a thing would never exist again. He, however, was grateful for more instances like this to occur on a daily.

Halfway turning from the view outside brought him to glance at his spouse's attractive body atop their shared bed. The dark tresses that were her hair framed her angelic face, a content expression despite its blankness. She never stirred once as he took in her appearance. Even during a slumber sleep did she radiate inner and outer beauty.

Never before had Jai seen Jade so vulnerable yet safe. All her features didn't hold any semblance of apprehension or uncertainty, a far cry from a few years ago. How she didn't awaken after her partner had untangled himself from her intoxicating embrace was beyond him.

Especially since Jade was a delicate sleeper.

Jai proceeds back to his current activity of soaking in the atmosphere outside, the winds dying down to allow a monetary lull. With the change came a new coolness, the way Jai preferred climate-wise while almost bare.

The faint rustle of sheets or bed creaks didn't steer Jai from his outlook as Jade finally awakes. Slipping into a robe stopping inches below her knees, she mutely joins her husband at the railing, arms tenderly encircling his waist while pressing against his back.

His silent greeting was a gentle hand grasping both of hers, welcoming the company without a single complaint. Jade doesn't interrupt their peace by saying a word. Instead, she leans forward to rest her head against his shoulder, palms going to each. This was the emerald-eyed woman's way of gathering her thoughts before speaking. The monotony of everyday life had helped in that regard.

Jade takes one of her hands to trace over his right arm as she moves forward on her tiptoes to inch toward Jai's ear. Each word from her mouth was enunciated with purity.

"You seem troubled, beloved. What's on your mind?"

Jai eases into her arms. "Merely taking in everything around me. I miss having you join me here."

A genuine smile follows a kiss at the base of his neck. The two hold their gazes directed at the cloudless skies, appreciating a most simplistic activity.

"We're both free of duties and our children tomorrow. I've ensured no one will disturb us." Jade turns her husband's face to her, eyes twinkling with crude humor as her leg coils around his. "An opportunity we shouldn't bypass."

Another nod by Jai proceeds a touch to Jade's posterior before giving a gentle squeeze, doing so a few times to relish her giggles. She presses closer, wanting more of his body heat.

Jade's following kiss lodges between the connection between his shoulder and neck during a comfortable silence. "Come, shower with me."

Jai gave a receptive nod as he feels Jade disentangle from behind him before tugging on his arm. She leads him toward the enclosed waterfall outside their home, a pair of towels sitting on the rock edge ready for use afterward. Jai admires her from afar as Jade teasingly begins discarding her lone attire, the robe pooling around her lithe feet.

"Jai..."

Drawn out of his immobile state, Jai realizes that Jade was patiently waiting, not a shred of imperfection on her flawless brown skin.

She raises a hand, beckoning her lover with a single finger. Wordlessly, Jai hooks both thumbs inside his briefs before they slide down his legs. Jade's tongue creeps out, gliding across her luscious lips at the sight of his Herculean physique, not a shred of body fat seen by her observant eyes.

Confidence in the form of a smirk fills Jai. "As you command."

"Not when we are equals." Jade brushes a strand of hair away from her eyes while sauntering to Jai, bestowing a deep kiss on his lips. "You know that, husband."

"That I do."

Jai accepts the invite by carrying Jade into the waterfall bridal style. They immerse themselves within the mildly cool lake and stay on the shallow side that reaches the top of their midriffs. Jade sighs contently, resting against her lover's chest as he loops his arms underneath her heaving breasts.

They bask in their peaceful intimacy before sinking below the surface as the former assassin bores into her co-General's eyes. Her ebony hair spreads throughout, the sight likened to that of a fictional mermaid.

Able to hold their breaths for over two minutes, the pair continue in their game. Jade caresses the abdominal and torso muscles, Jai's own massaging her hip bones and spine.

The lack of oxygen prompts each warrior to swim upward and dry off. Jai obtains the two towels, wrapping his around the waist as Jade did likewise, covering her chest. Not bothering to dry her hair, Jade leaps onto her husband's back as he treks back inside the house.

Both sit on the bed's foot edge, Jade applying a loving massage to Jai's back, the latter's tension dissipating completely.

It wasn't long before their positions changed.

Jai lays down with his head in Jade's lap as she now views the sky, her fingers twirling through his short, curly hair. Pleased hums rang in her beloved's ears.

Nights like these create comfort that Jade and Jai sought for themselves, each other...

And their five blessings - Jamiyah, Jazmine, Desiree, Moses, and Jamaar.
