Sonya tossed and turned in her bed. Normally, she could sleep with ease from the light pitter patter of rain against her window sill, but tonight the noise seemed to bother her. She heard the sound of rumbling thunder in the distance; bolts of lightning cracked and illuminated the night sky for brief moments. The hum of the light droplets started to become more pronouned as a heavy rainfall formed.
Sonya stared at a large tree outside of her window; the long branches whipped eratically from the stormy weather. Its dark leaves blew wildly from the strong winds. She listened to the rainfall with the hope that it would have the desired soothing effect to lull her back into sleep. After twenty minutes, Sonya finally had enough, and rose into an upright sitting position.
Throwing her legs over the bed, she stood up and walked toward the window. She noticed that the night sky had a slightly reddish hue from the distant city lights. Looking outside, she could see that the road was flooding from the torrential rain fall.
Sonya attempted to sleep again but it was of no use. She looked at the clock sitting on top of her nightstand. It read 3:45am. The claps of thunder only seemed to get louder. Sonya laid in bed feeling restless. The storm wasn't the only reason that she couldn't sleep.
Contrary to what Kano believed from the night before, Sonya's judgement was not in the least bit impaired. She was fully in tune with her intentions when she tried to seduce him. She felt impulsive, loose and sexy; she was more than willing to act on her desires. Driven by passion, she was ready to give herself to him completely.
Sonya couldn't get the previous night with Kano out of her mind. Her body shuddered at the memory of pleasing herself against his arousal; even with his clothes on, it still felt deliciously good. Her body indulged in pleasure from the feeling of him touching her in the most delicate of places. She remembered being completely consumed by his kiss, which was deep and passionate. She wanted him so badly; she longed to finish what they had started.
Sonya laid in bed trying to figure out when and how her feelings for Kano changed. Logically, it didn't make sense for her to want him this way; he had been her sworn enemy for years. Hate was the only emotion that she had associated with him for the longest time.
Yet as a result of working together over the last four months, their adversarial relationship morphed into something entirely different. Putting their differences aside, they no longer saw each other as rivals but rather as partners and learned to rely on one another as such. Their partnership was not without its share of challenges, however. They would equally push each other to the brink, often irritating one another in the process.
Kano often referred to Sonya as a thorn in his side; she was just as stubborn as him and she had no problem provoking him if she disagreed with his decisions. Yet overtime Sonya came to respect and trust Kano and valued her position as his co-leader. With Sonya by his side, the Black Dragon forged into a powerful force beyond what Kano envisioned for his clan.
Then something unexpected happened that neither one of them could have possibly anticipated. Their relationship as partners transcended into a friendship and ultimately an attraction between them grew. Their intense chemistry went far beyond anything physical, developing into a strong emotional connection.
Yet, Sonya wanted more. She tried to rationalize if what she was feeling was due to loneliness. It had certainly been some time since she was in anything that resembled a relationship, let alone been intimate with a man. Sonya knew that she craved more than just a meaningless tryst; she yearned for something deeper.
She just never expected that Kano would have been the man that she would have fallen for, given their history. She was tired of justifying whether or not it made sense for them to be together. All she knew was that she was tired of denying what she felt. She was ready to take a risk and let the chips fall where they may.
Sonya got up and looked at herself in the mirror. Her white tank top and small black shorts clung to her skin. She pulled her long hair out of a ponytail and let it fall loose. Without even trying, she was effortlessly beautiful. Sonya let out a deep sigh. After working up her nerve, she quietly made her way through the long suite. She had the feeling that Kano was in his den as for the last few nights he stayed up later than normal to catch up on some work.
Her feeling turned out to be correct. Kano was staring at his computer screen; he was so deep in thought that he did not notice when Sonya appeared in the doorway. She bit her lip and her face began to flush at the sight of him wearing only black boxer briefs. Sonya couldn't help but enjoy the view of his masculine physique. After getting a sense that he was being watched, he looked in Sonya's direction.
"Everything alright, love?" Kano asked. Sonya hesitated at his question. After hearing a loud thunder clap he asked, "The storm is keeping you up, eh?" Sonya smiled. "I couldn't sleep, but it is not because of the storm." Kano took notice of how she looked at him and he grinned. "Then… what brings ya in here?"
"I think you already know," Sonya said with a suggestive look. She slowly moved towards him and then gradually began to straddle his lap. She put her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her and began to run her fingers through his hair. "I am done denying what is happening between us."
Kano let out a sigh; he put his hands around her waist. After a long pause, he said, "Sonya, I want this. I am not going to deny it….but…" Sonya smirked. "You make it a point not to get involved with the women you work with. I get it…but, you do know that technically, I am not a Black Dragon remember?" Kano started to laugh. "Looking for a loophole, I like that." He gently rubbed her thigh and she started to shudder at his touch. He stared deeply into her eyes. "If we do this, it will change everything between us."
Sonya started to frown. Then she leaned in closer and tilted his face up slightly so that his lips were barely touching hers. "Are you saying that you don't want me?" Kano brushed aside some of Sonya's long locks of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. "Baby that's not what I am saying...It's just that with everything at stake, getting involved could complicate things."
Despite himself, he kept looking at her lips, and was fighting the urge to kiss her. "This could be a mistake," he said as he softly planted kisses on the side of her neck. "Huge," she said as she smiled in delight. She seductively gazed into his eyes. Kano cupped Sonya's face with his hands and crashed his lips into hers with a passionate kiss.
Sonya's legs wrapped around Kano's waist as he picked her up to bring her to his bedroom. Once they entered the room, Kano tossed Sonya onto his bed and he climbed over her. After a few minutes of kissing and fondling, Kano yanked Sonya's shorts off; she sat up to remove her tank top. He gazed at her beautiful body and kissed her and he proceeded to make love to her into the early hours of the morning.
