This is a chapter I wrote during the Easter holidays; I had the idea that I wanted to "go back to my roots", which for me is Taiora. Taiora is the sole reason why I started writing fanfiction in the first place, therefore for this chapter I wanted to write Taiora, but with a clear focus on sensually making love.
Tai let himself into Sora's room, finding her laying face down on her bed in a huff. "Sora? It's me, Tai. Your mom let me in," he said gently.
"Go away," came her muffled reply.
Tai sat down beside her and rubbed her back soothingly. "Not a chance. I heard about the match. Want to talk about it?"
Sora sighed and rolled over, pouting up at the ceiling. "I just don't understand how she always beats me. No matter how hard I practice, Mika is always one step ahead."
Tai smiled warmly. "Hey, she's had years more experience than you. Don't be so hard on yourself - you're still improving so much every day."
"I guess. It just feels like I'll never close the gap between us," Sora said glumly.
Tai's hand moved up to slowly brush a lock of hair from her face. "Don't lose heart. You've got way more heart and spirit than she ever will. That's why you'll get there in the end."
Sora's expression softened a little at his touch. "Thanks Tai. You always know how to cheer me up."
Tai gazed at Sora with a gentle smile, brushing another lock of hair from her face. "Anytime. Now, what else can I do for my favourite tennis star?" he asked softly.
As his fingers grazed her cheek, Sora suddenly became aware of just how close Tai was laying beside her. His chocolate brown eyes, filled with kindness and care, seemed to draw her in and warm her whole being. A dozen butterflies took flight in her stomach.
"Tai I..." Sora began, her breath catching slightly as she lost herself in his tender gaze. All thoughts of tennis and her rival fled her mind in an instant. "Your eyes...they look so beautiful."
Tai's smile widened lovingly. "Not as beautiful as yours," he replied in a near whisper, moving his hand to cup her cheek.
Sora's heart raced at his touch. Slowly, hesitantly, she reached up to cover his hand with her own. "Tai, do you...do you have feelings for me? More than a friend, I mean?"
Tai brushed his thumb gently along her cheekbone. "Sora, I've always cared so deeply for you. Over the years that care has grown into something more...something I can't deny any more."
"Oh Tai!" Sora gasped, joy and relief flooding through her. On an impulse she leaned in to press her lips to his in a shy, questioning kiss.
Tai responded tenderly, deepening the kiss to pour all of his affection into it. Sora melted against him, clinging to his strong shoulders as emotions swirled powerfully between them. Their lips parted with a sigh.
"I think I have feelings for you too," Sora confessed breathlessly, cheeks flushed.
Tai gazed at her with loving adoration. "You have no idea how happy you've just made me." He pulled her close once more, sealing their newfound love with another sweet, soulful kiss.
Sora was still reeling as their lips parted, a tingling sensation lingering in their wake. She gazed at Tai with wide eyes, breathing heavily, as the full force of what had just transpired struck her.
"Tai...that felt..." she began, lost for words. The kiss had awakened something deep within her, a flood of emotions and desires she'd never experienced before.
Tai searched her face with concern. "Sora? Are you okay? Was...was it too much too soon?"
Sora shook her head slowly. "No, it's not that. It's just...wow." She brought a trembling hand to her lips, as if still able to feel the ghost of his touch. "I had no idea kissing could feel so...intense. So right."
Tai let out a relieved chuckle. "Really? I'm glad to hear it. You have no idea how long I've wanted to kiss you." He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear tenderly.
"Me too," Sora confessed in a small voice. She glanced back at Tai shyly. "Could...could we try it again? I think I need to experience it some more, to really understand."
Tai grinned. "Of course. I'm always here to help you learn and grow, Sora."
He gently cupped her face once more and leaned in, capturing her lips in a lingering kiss. Sora's eyes drifted shut as she savoured the feel of Tai's soft lips moving against her own. A soft sigh escaped her as she kissed him back tentatively.
Tai kept the pace leisurely, coaxing Sora to relax into the kiss. She complied after a moment, yielding fully to the new yet strangely familiar sensations washing over her. Her hands crept up to twist in Tai's shirt as she kissed him back eagerly, no longer shy but exploring.
As their lips moved together languidly, Tai was amazed by how natural and easy it felt to kiss Sora. Her lips were soft and supple, moulding to his perfectly like they were made to be joined. He had dreamed of this moment for so long, but nothing could have prepared him for the rush of joy and connection that coursed through him now.
Sora was swept away in a sea of sensation, barely able to form a coherent thought. She clung to Tai trustingly, letting instinct guide her responses. Each caress of his lips sent fresh waves of pleasure through her, pooling warm and molten in her core. Kissing Tai felt so impossibly good, like coming home after a long journey. Nothing had ever felt so right.
When at last they parted, panting softly, Sora gazed up at Tai with eyes shining. "That was...amazing," she breathed, still lost in a daze of delight.
Tai grinned, cupping her flushed cheek tenderly. "You're amazing," he replied, pressing his forehead to hers. "I never knew kissing could be so wonderful. It all feels so natural with you."
Sora smiled dreamily. "It does, doesn't it? Like we were always meant to be like this." She laughed softly, giddy and light. "I never imagined kissing could feel this good. You'll have to keep practising with me so I can really learn."
"Mmm, lessons with my favourite student? I think I can manage that," Tai replied with a playful wink, capturing her lips once more in a sweet, lingering kiss. Sora melted into his embrace happily, joyously, exploring this new intimacy together.
Sora simply couldn't get enough of the way Tai's lips felt moving against hers. Each kiss left her wanting more, craving the intimacy like a flower seeks the sun. When they finally parted for air once more, she gave a tiny whine of protest.
Tai chuckled, nuzzling her nose affectionately. "Eager for more lessons, are we?"
"Please, I need to learn as much as I can," Sora breathed, already leaning in to capture his lips again. Tai readily complied, kissing her deeply. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her flush against his body.
Sora sighed into the kiss, melting against Tai's strong frame. She combed her fingers through his messy, but soft hair, holding him close. Their lips slid slowly, sensually, revelling in each tiny caress and caress. Soon Sora found herself straddling Tai's hips, lost in the heady sensations only he could arouse.
Part of her knew they should stop, that things were progressing quickly, but she couldn't bring herself to pull away. Not when kissing Tai felt so perfect, so right. The world could have ended around them and she wouldn't have noticed or cared.
Finally, Tai broke the kiss, panting heavily. "Sora...if we don't stop soon, I don't think I can be held responsible for my actions," he confessed in a husky tone, eyes dark with desire.
Sora blushed, realizing the effect she was having on him. Yet she wasn't ready to end their session so soon either. "Then don't hold back," she replied shyly, nuzzling his neck. "I want to experience all of you, Tai. Please..."
With a low groan, Tai claimed her lips once more, rolling them over to hover above her trembling form. Tai kissed Sora hungrily, pouring all his longing and passion into the intimate caress. His tongue traced her bottom lip lightly, seeking permission. Sora's breath hitched, her lips parting in a soft gasp. Tai took the invitation, deepening their kiss with slow, lavishing strokes that had Sora melting into the mattress.
She sighed blissfully, winding her arms around Tai's neck to keep him close. Her body felt like liquid fire wherever he touched her. Tai's hands roamed her sides, learning the curves he had only dared dream of before. When his thumbs grazed the undersides of her breasts, Sora squirmed delightfully with a needy whimper.
Tai kissed Sora feverishly, lost in a haze of want. The delicate sighs and gasps she rewarded him with set his blood ablaze. When his fingers grazed the soft mounds of her breasts, eliciting a needy whimper, Tai swore his heart could burst.
He pulled back slightly to gaze down at her, breathing hard. Sora was a vision - cheeks flushed, swollen lips parted as she panted, eyes glazed with longing. Tai had always thought her pretty, but like this, utterly undone beneath him, she was the most beautiful sight he had ever beheld.
"You take my breath away," he murmured reverently.
Sora blinked up at him shyly. "Me? But you're the one making me feel this way..."
Tai smiled tenderly, cupping her warm cheek. "And you have no idea what you do to me in return, Sora. I've never seen anything or anyone more perfect than you right now."
His praise brought a fresh bloom of colour to her cheeks. Sora reached up to caress Tai's face, gazing at him with such tenderness it made his heart ache. "Then kiss me again. I want to lose myself in you, Tai."
Tai complied readily, capturing her lips in a deep, soulful kiss. His hand slid back to cup her breast softly as their tongues danced, eliciting a soft sigh.
As their passionate kiss continued, Tai's hands began to wander once more, tracing the hem of Sora's blouse hesitantly. He pulled back slightly to gauge her reaction, breathing heavily.
"Is this okay?" he asked tenderly. "We can stop whenever you want."
Sora nodded shyly, cheeks aflame. "It's okay. I...I want to feel closer to you, Tai."
With her permission, Tai's fingers went slowly to work on the buttons of her blouse, parting the fabric to reveal more of her smooth skin beneath. He pushed the sides open carefully, eyes widening at the toned muscles of Sora's athletic belly now exposed to his gaze.
Tai brushed his fingertips along the ridges of her abs in awe, feeling their defined contours. "Sora, you're so beautiful..."
Flustered under his praise, Sora squirmed slightly, only to gasp as the motion caused her breasts to shift under her sports bra. Tai's eyes flicked downward, taking in the enticing sight of her ample curves contained within the tight pink fabric.
He licked his lips unconsciously. "May I...?" At Sora's timid nod, Tai reached out with trembling fingers to cup her softly through the bra. Her nipples pebbled against his palm, hardening further under his tentative caress.
Sora sighed blissfully as Tai kissed along her sensitive collarbone. The feelings he awoke in her were overwhelmingly intense, yet she craved more.
"Tai..." she breathed, tilting her head back to grant him better access. His devoted worship of her body through touch and whispered praise left her feeling cherished in a way she never had before.
Tai trailed open-mouthed kisses lower, pausing to lavish her chest. "You taste as sweet as I always dreamed," he murmured against her flushed skin. Braving a bold move, he caught a pebbled nipple between his lips through the thin fabric.
Sora cried out softly, back arching from the exquisite jolt of sensation. She tangled her fingers in Tai's hair, holding him close against her heaving chest. "Don't stop...please, don't stop..."
Tai lavished Sora's breasts with devoted attention, suckling her eagerly through the thin bra. The fabric did little to muffle her sweet cries as his tongue circled her pebbled nipple.
"You like that?" he asked hoarsely, glancing up at her flushed face.
Sora could only nod frantically in response, too lost in sensation to form words. Tai's hand kneading her neglected breast only served to heighten her pleasure, pushing her towards the edge.
She squirmed wantonly beneath him, overwhelmed by the intimacy of his touch. No one had ever made her feel this way before. Tai took her to new heights with seemingly every caress.
Sora moaned loudly as Tai sucked her nipple, the feeling intense. Her thighs pressed together seeking relief where she was getting really wet. Tai noticed and lifted his head.
"You okay?" Tai asked breathing heavy. He was new to this too and didn't want to mess up.
Sora nodded "Yes, it feels good but..." She squirmed, embarrassed to say more.
Tai glanced down seeing her skirt had ridden up, giving him a glimpse of her sporty underwear. He was curious but didn't want to overstep. "Can I see?"
With Sora's permission, Tai carefully pushed up her skirt with trembling hands. Her sporty underwear came into view - a simple light blue boy short style. He sucked in a breath at the sizable dark patch clearly visible where her arousal had seeped through the thin fabric.
"Wow," Tai echoed, transfixed. The sight of Sora so turned on, her glistening heat barely concealed, went straight to his core.
Sora covered her burning face, thighs clenching in equal measure of want and embarrassment. "Please...touch me there," she begged softly, unable to withstand the ache any longer.
Tai licked his dry lips, heart pounding. He gently rested his palm against the damp patch, feeling her warmth through the underwear. Sora gasped, arching into his touch. Emboldened, Tai began rubbing light circles over her sensitive flesh.
"Yes, please don't stop," Sora gasped, lost to the sensations only Tai could draw from her trembling body.
He gently massaged her damp heat through the thin fabric, awed by how responsive she was to his tentative touches. When her thighs squeezed around his hand, Tai redoubled his efforts, rubbing firmer circles.
Sora keened, her resolve crumbling under the mounting bliss. "Tai, I need more," she pleaded, covering her flushed face. In a moment of abandon, she pushed her underwear down to her knees, baring herself fully to his gaze.
Tai was transfixed by the intimate sight before him. Sora's glistening pink folds, crowned by a wild patch of auburn hair, were swollen with arousal, begging for relief.
"Sora, you're so beautiful," he breathed in wonder and awe. Never had he seen anything so perfect.
She whimpered shyly but was eased by the adoration in his gaze. Tai looked at her with such care, not lust.
His fingers hovered hesitantly. Though inexperienced, Tai wanted nothing more than to please her. "Tell me what to do, my love. I want to make you feel good," he said earnestly.
Sora took his hand in hers, heart pounding. "Touch me here," she guided his fingers to her aching bundle of nerves. "Gently at first."
Sora guided Tai's hand, cheeks flaming as his fingers made contact with her throbbing nub. She gasped at the exquisite new feeling.
Tai gazed at her tenderly, in awe of her trust in him. He softly circled her bundle of nerves as instructed, kissing Sora lovingly. Her breath hitched between kisses.
"Like that?" he asked against her lips. Sora could only nod fervently, lost in building bliss. Tai was a quick learner, varying pressure and speed until she writhed beneath him.
Tai circled Sora's folds slowly, her arousal coating his fingers. Her soft moans between kisses went straight to his core. He had never been this intimate with anyone before, and it felt incredible.
"You feelin' good?" he asked breathlessly. Sora nodded frantically, unable to form words as her pleasure mounted. Tai was addicted to drawing those sweet sounds from her. Her noises just turned him on more.
He experimented with different strokes and pressures, paying attention to her responses. When he found a particularly sensitive spot, Sora gasped loudly and clutched his shoulders. Tai focused his efforts there, rubbing firm circles.
Sora whimpered and writhed, grinding desperately against Tai's hand as pressure built inside her. "I'm so close," she gasped, nails digging into his shoulders.
Tai was mesmerized watching her come undone. Her sounds and the sight of her glistening arousal coating his fingers made his length throb painfully in his shorts. He rubbed her bundle of nerves faster, circling in ways that had her moaning loudly.
"Come for me, Sora," Tai encouraged huskily, speeding his pace even more. A few moments later Sora cried out, entire body tensing as waves of ecstasy crashed over her. She clutched Tai tightly, pressing her face into his neck to muffle her cries.
Tai continued his ministrations gently, helping prolong her high. When she slumped boneless, he withdrew his hand and gathered Sora close. Her blissful smile told him he had done well.
Sora came down from her high, still floating on a cloud. She gazed at Tai with eyes dark with new awakened desire and longing.
"Tai, I want to make you feel as good," she breathed, leaning in to kiss him passionately. Tai met her lips eagerly, overwhelmed by her responsiveness.
As their kiss grew fevered, Sora nipped his bottom lip and deepened it further, delving her tongue inside his mouth. Tai groaned, clutching her waist tightly as she devoured him hungrily.
Sora guided his hands to her breasts, arching into his palms as he kneaded her soft mounds. She ground her hips down, feeling his hardened length beneath. Breaking the kiss with a gasp, Sora gazed at Tai through lust-heavy lids.
Sora grasped Tai's hardened length eagerly through his shorts, eliciting a choked moan. He bucked up into her hand, unable to hold back his response.
Seeing how turned on he was spurred Sora's own arousal to flare again. She gazed at Tai with dark longing. "I want to feel you," she pleaded hungrily.
Tai and Sora made quick work of each other's remaining clothes, desperate to feel fully bare against one another at last.
As his shorts and boxers hit the floor, Sora's eyes raked hungrily over Tai's nude form. His flushed erection jutted proudly from a nest of dark curls, already slick at the tip.
"You're so handsome," she breathed admiring his athletic frame, wrapping her delicate fingers around his hot length. Tai sucked in a sharp breath, throwing his head back at her tentative strokes.
"You're perfect," Tai murmured in awe, caressing up her curves. Sora shivered under his touch, stroking him faster. Their eyes met, dark with mingled desire and care.
Tai moved his mouth to Sora's breasts, swirling his tongue around her pebbled nipples. She cried out softly, stroking him more urgently as waves of pleasure crashed through her oversensitive body.
When he rolled her taut nipples between his lips, Sora keened loudly and arched into his touch. Her slick palm tugging on his length had Tai on the brink, but he held off, focused only on Sora's bliss.
He trailed open-mouthed kisses across her heaving chest and down her quivering stomach. At her dripping core, Tai gazed up at Sora through lidded eyes. She writhed beneath his breath, begging for more contact.
His thumb parted her folds, rubbing her sensitive nub in slow circles. Sora chanted his name like a prayer, lost to sensation. Tai savoured every moment, determined to please her fully before claiming his own release.
Sora was on the brink of insanity, every nerve ending alive and screaming for relief.
"Tai, please, I need you now," she begged, tears pricking her eyes from the intensity.
He nodded shakily, fumbling in his wallet for protection with trembling fingers. Tai had never felt such primal lust and cared deeply about Sora's safety.
Finally finding purchase on the foil square, he tore it open with his teeth and rolled the thin latex down his heavy length. Tai positioned himself at Sora's dripping entrance, bracing above her on quivering arms.
Sora gazed into Tai's eyes, both overwhelmed with passion and caring for each other. She cupped his face. "I trust you," she said softly.
Tai kissed her deeply, putting all his feelings into it as he started to push inside. Sora gasped at the stretching sensation. He paused, letting her adjust before sliding further.
"You good?" Tai asked gently between kisses. Sora nodded, wrapping her legs around him. "Keep going."
He sank the rest of the way in slow and easy, wanting her comfort over his own pleasure. Tai rested his forehead against Sora's, their harsh breathing mingling as he filled her completely.
"You okay? Does it hurt?" Tai murmured, stroking her cheek tenderly. Sora shook her head. "Just give me a minute."
They laid connected intimately for the first time, gazing at each other with pure love. The initial discomfort faded for Sora, replaced by stirring fullness and care in Tai's eyes.
Sora rolled her hips against Tai's, eliciting a soft moan from him. "You can move now," she whispered, trailing kisses along his jaw.
Tai slid back gently before easing slowly forward once more, savouring the intimate connection. He couldn't stop kissing Sora, murmuring words of praise and affection between gentle thrusts.
"You feel incredible," he breathed against her lips. Tai set a leisurely pace, determined to draw out their first time joined as one.
Sora clung to him, lost in the heady sensations of being filled and stretched in the most primal way. She nipped Tai's bottom lip, eliciting a guttural groan. "Faster," she pleaded breathlessly.
Tai complied, still holding back to prolong their mingled bliss. He hitched Sora's thigh higher, delving deeper at a brisker rhythm. Their lips met in searing kisses to muffle cries of rising ecstasy.
Sora loved the intimacy between them and couldn't get enough. Every thrust sent pleasure through her core but being connected to Tai emotionally felt even better.
She turned her head to kiss along his neck. "You feel so good," Sora breathed in his ear, eliciting a shiver. Tai sped up his pace slightly in response, hands gripping her hips.
Their bodies moved together smoothly, Tai thrusting as Sora rolled her hips to take him fully inside each time. Heavy breaths and the musky scent of their arousal surrounded them.
Tai kissed Sora's cheek, whispering affectionate words that made her inner walls pulse around his length. In response, she raked her nails down his back, eliciting a low groan.
"Don't stop, I'm so close," Sora panted, pleasure coiling tight inside her. Tai sped up his movements, hitting that sweet spot relentlessly.
Tai sensed Sora tightening around him, a sign she was close. His own end was near after holding back.
He kissed her feverishly as they approached the precipice. Sora moaned into Tai's mouth as the tension snapped. Her whole body seized up from the force of her orgasm.
Sora tightened around him overwhelmingly, her orgasm triggering his own. Tai groaned into their kisses as his climax took over, emptying copiously into the condom.
Wave after wave of pleasure coursed through him while he pulsed within the tight sheath. It felt more intense than any self-pleasure, all his pent-up desires released at once.
His knees almost gave out from the force, but Tai somehow held himself up. When their climaxes subsided, he collapsed next to Sora, both breathing raggedly.
"That was... wow," Tai breathed heavily, an arm over his sweat-slicked forehead.
Sora let out a weak giggle beside him, coming down from her high. "You can say that again."
She curled into Tai's side, idly tracing patterns on his chest. He wrapped both arms around Sora, littering lazy kisses over her face between pants.
Tai smiled against her skin, drunk on endorphins and the intimacy they just shared. Sora grinned back, nuzzling under his chin.
"I'm so happy it was with you," she said quietly, playing with the hair at his nape. Tai held her tighter, heart full to bursting.
"There's no one else I'd rather be with," he replied sincerely, meeting her lips in a slow, sweet kiss. They basked in the afterglow, bodies entwined in sated satisfaction.
