Morg: Heyo! I'm so excited for this chapter.

Ikuto: Me, too.

Amu: No.

Morg: Not for the smut.

Ikuto: Oh, then we're excited for different reasons.

Amu: I hate both of you.

~Spark of Life~

Amu clamped her thighs together around Ikuto's head as she dug her fingers into his hair and arched her back. His tongue felt like it was so deep within her that she could barely keep herself together. "Ikuto," she moaned. "I'm so close."

"Come on," he murmured as he tilted his head enough to suck a bruise on the inside of her thigh. "Let me have it. I want you to come, Amu. Let go."

She thrashed her head from side to side as he dug his fingers into her thigh to hold her to him as he licked back into her. She screamed as she felt something in her gut let go.

Ikuto pulled back as he licked his lips. He peppered kisses along her trembling thighs as he waited for her to catch her breath and come back to herself.

Amu panted as she let her legs fall open. Her chest heaved as she blinked up at the ceiling without actually being able to see it. "Ikuto."

"I'm right here," he assured her as he wiped his mouth off with his shirt. He pulled the fabric off over his head before he crawled his way back up her body to meet her gaze. "Are you with me?"

"I need you," Amu gasped before she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "I need you to kiss me."

"My mouth is a little dirty," he reminded her.

"I want to taste it," Amu whispered back.

Ikuto moaned as he brought his mouth down to hers. He licked his way into her mouth and made certain that she could taste every bit of herself on his tongue. "You're so fucking perfect."

Amu hummed as he buried his face against her neck and relaxed more of his weight on her. It wasn't until he was settled that she could feel how hard he was. "Ikuto," she murmured against his hair. "You said I could touch you back."

"Whatever you want," Ikuto promised without lifting his head. "You can do whatever you want."

Amu scratched her nails lightly down his back as she held him to her. They were like opposites in how they were dressed. Ikuto wasn't wearing a shirt while her shirt was all Amu still had on. Their respective clothing blocked them from truly snuggling skin to skin. "Take your pants off."

Ikuto couldn't help himself. He chuckled against her neck before he lifted his head to press another kiss against her pout. "Gladly."

Amu grumbled as she was forced to let him go so that he could give himself enough space to undo his pants and push them down his hips. She bit her lip as his cock slipped free and bobbed up against his stomach while he finished kicking his pants off.

She waited until he looked back at her before she trailed her hand down his chest and stomach.

"Amu," he breathed as his muscles clenched beneath her touch. "Don't do anything you don't want to do."

"I want to touch you," Amu promised as her fingers brushed against the wet head of his cock. "I just don't know what I'm doing. You have to tell me if I do something you don't like."

Ikuto groaned as her fingers tightened around the head of his cock. "That feels so good. I like how you're touching me."

Amu hummed as she kept her eyes on her hand and explored more of him. She liked how hot and hard he felt under her touch. "You're so wet."

"Because of you," Ikuto promised as he pressed his face against her shoulder. He couldn't stop himself from bucking into her touch. "You turn me on so much."

"Yeah?"

"You're so sexy and perfect," Ikuto groaned out as she found a rhythm and continued to stroke him. "Everything you do turns me on. I can't believe that I'm so lucky that you want me, too."

Amu nuzzled at the bit of his face that she could reach while they both watched her stroke her hand along his cock. "What if I," she started before she bit her lip to cut herself off. She pulled her shirt up with her free hand until it bunched just under her breasts.

"Anything," Ikuto promised her as his hips bucked again. "Whatever you want."

"I want you to fuck my hands."

Ikuto lifted his head to look at her. "What?"

Amu dropped her second hand down to take his cock between her palms. She tightened it until he was bucking in her hold and then kept them like that. "You could thrust until you come all over my stomach and thighs."

Ikuto couldn't stop his hips from moving. He braced himself as she held him carefully in her palms. He was so wet that the glide was already smooth and perfect. "Fuck, look at you. Your hands were made to touch me."

"Like that," Amu gasped as she watched the head of Ikuto's cock slip down into her hands and then thrust back out. She swiped her thumb along the top of it each time he pulled back. "You always make me feel so good. I want you to come, too."

Ikuto shuddered as he held up his weight. He rocked his hips faster as he ducked his head to kiss her mostly because he had to but also because he knew he needed her to stop talking. He was already so close. "Amu, fuck."

"Yeah," Amu answered dazedly as she lifted her head to catch his lips again. She'd already fed him once but could feel a familiar heat building in her core once more. She dropped her head back to the pillow so she could look up at his face. "I want you to come all over me," she told him as she flexed her palms and made his breath hitch. "I want you to mark me as yours and then put your fingers back into me and make me come."

Ikuto squeezed his eyes shut as he chased after his pleasure. "Yeah? You need it again?"

"Need you," Amu promised as she watched him. "You always make me so wet. You make me want to bend over and let you see how much you turn me on."

"Fuck," Ikuto whispered as he lost control of his pace. "Fuck," he said again as he caught sight of the way she was hungrily watching his cock in her hands. "Fuck," he moaned as he thrust into her hands and stayed there as he came.

Amu held him for a moment as his hips ground into her hands. She made sure he was steady before she unlaced her fingers and stroked him until he was twitching back from her hold. He did as she asked and made sure to leave his come in strips along her belly and thighs. She could feel how hot it was on her skin and wanted to smear it across her belly.

"Ikuto," she whimpered as he dropped to his side next to her. She pressed her thighs together as she tried to find a bit of relief. "Please."

"I've got you," Ikuto promised as he slid her thighs apart enough to get his hand between them. He propped himself up on his other arm so he could lean over to kiss her as he worked two of his fingers inside of her with little resistance.

Amu moaned as she arched her back and rolled her hips to meet the pace he set. She was sensitive enough from her first orgasm that she knew she wouldn't last long. Not with how he was touching her. "Ikuto! Please!"

Ikuto leaned so that he had her pinned halfway under him as he fucked his fingers into her hard and fast. He kept his mouth on her, switching from plundering her mouth to sucking bruises along her neck as he worked her closer and closer to coming.

Amu dug her fingers into his hair and dragged him back to her mouth as she all but cried out against his tongue as she came.

He worked her through her orgasm before slowing his pace until he just held his fingers inside of her as the last of the spasms tightened and released her muscles around him. "Are you okay?"

Amu groaned as she turned her head to press her face against his shoulder. "Maybe?"

Ikuto chuckled before he started to pull his fingers out. She made a noise and tightened her thighs around his hand, making him stop. "Amu?"

"I'm not ready yet," she muttered.

"What?"

"I don't want to be empty yet," she said a bit more clearly. "Just stay here for a moment."

Ikuto did his best to keep his surprise off of his face despite the fact that she wasn't looking at him. "That's fine. We can do that."

Amu ignored the way she could feel his cock twitching against her hip. He wasn't hard again, but that didn't mean he wasn't interested. She wasn't trying to turn him on. She just didn't want to lose their connection yet.

Ikuto watched her relax until she turned her head back to blink up at him through sleepy eyes. "Hey."

Amu smiled at him before lifting her hand to shakily run it through his hair. "Hey."

Ikuto returned her smile as he studied her carefully. "You doing okay?"

"Yeah," she answered. "I feel really good."

"Good," he said before he pressed a light kiss to her lips. "I always want you to feel good."

"You make me feel good."

Ikuto didn't mean to shift his fingers but the way her core tightened and she dug her fingers into his scalp made him freeze. "Are you ready for me to take them out?"

Amu sighed before she relaxed her thighs again. "Slowly."

Ikuto did his best to give her what she wanted. He let his fingers slide out of her before he rested his hand on her hip. "Do you want to get cleaned up or do you want to take a nap?"

She didn't realize until he asked her that she was tired. "Maybe a nap if you hold me."

"Of course," Ikuto promised without moving. "Anything you want."

Amu yawned before she shifted a bit to pull him down more comfortably on her to snuggle as she fell asleep. "And later you'll show me your shift?"

"Absolutely."

"Kay," she said as she smacked her lips and let her eyes close.

Ikuto let her fall asleep as he ran his fingers through the mess he'd left on her body.

Amu knew exactly why she was in such a good mood. She'd woken up in Ikuto's arms, a little sore but totally sated. They'd showered and found something to eat all without Ikuto getting more than a couple of feet away from her. She liked that he stayed close. She wanted him closer.

"Amu?" Ikuto questioned as he looked at her over the rim of his cup. "Are you okay?"

"Are we going outside soon?" She asked in an effort to distract him from the face she knew she'd been making. He was watching. He was always watching her. She knew it was because he cared about her and how she was doing and feeling. Having his eyes on her made her feel warm and special. "Or do you have a room in your house where you shift?"

Ikuto studied her for a moment before he decided she was fine. "We'll go outside. There's no one around for miles so I'm not worried about someone seeing."

"Okay," Amu answered before taking another sip of her water. "Now?"

Ikuto laughed at that. He tugged Amu into a hug as he set his glass on the counter. "Now is fine. Come on, Amu. Let me show you what you're protecting the rest of the world from."

"I'm well aware that I'm protecting the world from a grumpy Ikuto," Amu told him as she set her glass beside his. She allowed him to lead her to the backdoor that led out to the yard from his kitchen.

Ikuto, for the first time since they'd gotten into his car and left her house, let go of Amu and backed away from her. "Stay there. I just need some room."

Amu lifted her brows but wrapped her arms around her stomach as she watched Ikuto pull his shirt off over his head. She hadn't been expecting him to get naked but it made sense. He was going to transform his body. She was pretty sure he didn't wear pants while he was a beast.

Ikuto looked at her for a moment before he stepped out of the last of his clothes. He shook out his arms and rolled his head before closing his eyes. Then he breathed out and let his shift overtake him.

Amu gasped as Ikuto fell to his hands. His body rippled as dark fur erupted from his back. His arms and legs elongated as his body grew in size. His ears shifted higher as his mouth grew into a snout.

She didn't dare to blink so she wouldn't miss a second of the changes he went through.

Ikuto shook himself out as he took a few steps to get used to being on four legs. He turned to look at Amu once he was confident in his balance.

Amu held her hand out to him as if to give him the chance to smell her before she tried to touch him.

Ikuto ignored the hand as he approached her.

Amu's eyes grew wider as he got closer. He was much bigger than she'd been expecting. "You're so beautiful, Ikuto."

Ikuto rumbled at her before he dipped his head to brush his nose along the top of her head.

Amu giggled as she finally let her hands rest in his fur. Now that he was closer, she could tell that his fur was a dark blue rather than the black she'd thought it was. "Absolutely beautiful."

Ikuto cuffed at her before he flopped down onto his side so she could easily take him in.

Amu laughed as she ran her hands along the top of his head and scratched at his ears. "All right then, I understand. I'll pet you."

Ikuto rumbled at her again and settled down to bask in her attention. Though he didn't ever like to compare them, Ikuto couldn't help but think about how different Amu was from Saaya. Saaya hadn't wanted anything to do with his beast form. She'd told him not to shift, though he had often ignored her.

Amu seemed to love the fact that he could change and was laughing as she leaned against his massive side and was lifted from her feet as he breathed.

He'd never loved Saaya. He'd barely tolerated her.

But he knew without a doubt that he loved Amu.

Now he just had to figure out how to tell her.

Morg: Welp.

Ikuto: Thank you.

Amu: Ugh.
