Usagi POV

Yet another table down and two more to go before my shift ends. "Order up Usagi!" calls out the new manager. He's only working part-time to help out Motoki since his baby sis is still taking more classes than he is but he's only one person and needs some help from time to time. The new guy however, something about him bothers me. I can't put my finger on it just yet though. As I go to grab the order he says, "Oh Usagi when are you going to say yes to me asking you out?"

I give him a polite smile. As per usual since he started to work here he likes to flirt…a lot. At first I took it as him just being a friendly flirt since he does it with the customers for extra tips, so I really ignored it, but it's been increasing lately. "As I always say, 'I have a boyfriend', and plus I'm not one to date two guys at once."

He smirks as usual and once again I ignore it. That is till he adds on, "One day you'll have no choice but to agree."

I look to him but am unable to respond as a customer calls me over. I push that to the back of my mind and focus on the customer. About nearly two hours and twenty minutes later I'm actually a bit tired, but glad that the rush has finally ended. I'm sure I look like I went a few rounds with Mike Tyson of the hair all over the place route but we did get busy.

"Usagi!" Motoki calls me over as the new manager has a weird smirk on his face.

"We need to draw more of the tourist crowds in here and another wave is coming in about twenty minutes. Since we're all out of beef, chicken and turkey burger patties, along with sausages, I need you to help Shawn here get them all out of the freezer, here's the list. Make sure the freezer is locked up behind you. My dads paying the bills and he's not paying for the back room to turn into an ice room."

I roll my eyes at Motoki. "One time it got left open for five minutes, one time and there is a beeping timer on it that sounds off when it goes past the five minute mark."

I give a pointed glance to Shawn as he smirks. He was the little rat that told Motoki of my little error that day. I was still in the room when it happened and it was legit only for five minutes.

"In my defense the frozen meat will last up to twenty minutes at normal temperature before defrosting occurs. The day that happened it was barely above 72 degrees," Motoki sighs. "I know this to be true Usagi, and I'm not condemning you for it, but my dad was there that day and I got the lecture."

I stop complaining. "I did apologize for it." I amend.

"I know and he understands but this…," he holds up the paper, "It's also cause it's a lot of food to get out and not even you can carry it all out at once."

I take the paper with the list of meats and how many of each and he has a point. It would take three trips with me alone and no bags to bring it all out.

"Fine." List in hand, I head to the back as Shawn follows me. The meat freezer is to the side of the cut up meat station in the back and as I walk past my button up sweater I debate on grabbing it before knowing that we're not going to be in it for more than two to five minutes grabbing food so I bypass and head straight there.

As I step inside, Shawn stays by the door to keep it propped slightly open as we don't want to get accidentally locked inside. The seal is pretty damn decent and it has happened to people who don't know where the release hatch is. Many have had panic attacks or caught a cold from it. As I grab the meats and hand some of them to Shawn I see that he's being awfully quiet.

"I pulled some more out, why don't you give those to Motoki and I stack up extras." I'm only giving the order as a suggestion since I've been here longer.

However it's when I turn my back to him that I hear a resounding click sound. I turn and see the darkness hit me. Or at least most of it. There's a very dimly lit bulb in here as I see the mischievous expression hit his face.

"Well now we have the area to ourselves."

It's as he comes forward that I realize the door closing wasn't an accident. I stand my ground though. "Not funny, open the door now."

He just grins. "Relax Usagi, no one will miss us for at least five to ten minutes. We can - " he wags his eyebrows suggestively at me.

"In what universe did I give you the impression that I want to do anything with you? I told you I have a boyfriend." I realize now that perhaps he wasn't just being a friendly flirt but perhaps legit flirting with me.

He brushes off my words, "Usagi you don't have to hide it anymore, I know you want me."

His words confuse me. "Okay perhaps I've crossed some signal thing here, when did you think that I wanted you?" I ask him. Did I ask for this somehow without realizing it?

"Seriously? Usagi, you come in wearing skirts and shorts all the time. It's so obvious that you want me. Hell, all the girls want me. I don't mind keeping it from your 'boyfriend' either. It'll be our secret."

As he moved forward towards me I got in the defense mode.

"Okay for one, that's what I wear and it's not for you, it's for me. Two, I don't want you, let's make that CRYSTAL CLEAR here. Three, I can't speak for other girls but I'm 90% positive that not every female in the crown arcade is aiming to get into your pants. Four, I'm not willing to cheat on my boyfriend and why the hell did you say it with quotes? Do you doubt that I have one?" I ask him as I make my points.

He phishes me off and says, "That's pretty slutty then for you to wear skirts."

I'm immediately offended.

"Second, I know I'm attractive, half the female staff here has been giving me 'lets have sex eyes' and I've picked you and I always get what I want and that ties in with the next point here that one way or another I'm going to see what that 'boyfriend' gets to have, and lastly, I say 'boyfriend' like that cause I know 'boyfriend' is another term for 'I'm looking for long term and not short term'."

I frown at him.

"Okay one, it's NOT slutty, that's sexist…," I think. "Second, I don't know nor care about the other females that are here but I can guarantee you that I do NOT share that feeling with them, three and four here, your not getting anything from me cause YES I have a boyfriend and even if I didn't – which I do – I would still say no cause this…" I gesture to his whole persona right now, "Is not only unattractive but also borderline creepy."

I step closer towards the exit of the freezer as I'm not getting chilly.

"Oh and as a bonus, IF you try anything, and I mean ANYTHING and I will not hesitate to beat on your ass. I don't care if I get written up for assault cause I'M the one being harassed and this for me, would be self-defense," I assure him.

He actually has the audacity to smirk at me. "You…?" he looks me up and down, "Kick my ass? Usagi you're like what a buck soaking wet?"

His reference to my lithe form doesn't go unnoticed.

"I'm 110, jackass and this conversation is done with so grab the meat, load us up so we can get the hell out of here, I'm cold and in no mood to be dealing with your ass."

He looks away for a moment as I go to grab some meat. However I underestimated how much he felt entitled to what he wanted. Before I could remove more than a few pounds he smacked my hand away and pushed me into a rack.

Thankfully the light was on in the freezer so I could see him. However it merely showed me that he shut the door on me and was now blocking the exit. "So help me if you don't remove yourself from the exit I'll - " he cuts me off with, "Relax Usagi, I'm going to make sure you have the time of your life here."

For a brief split second I feel panic at the lack of weapons that I've worked with over the years thanks to Makoto, since she and the rest of the girls and I decided to take basic self-defense. Working with weapons was something we did on occasion, but I had nothing. It was just him, me and a bunch of meat. Frozen meats. Hard frozen meats.

"Please don't make me hurt you." It was my only warning and my only plea to him as he laughed at me. When he went to grab me I pushed him off. When he grabbed my arms I shoved him away then presented a fighting stance.

"Don't." I warned him. He approached me once more but this time he went from trying to be suave about it to 'having had enough of my rejecting him' approach to him. I tried to duck around him but despite my small size he caught me, hauled me to him. I could smell the over used cologne on his uniform.

"This would be much easier if you would just give in," he whispered to me as he tried to then pin me into the shelving unit.

"Let go of me!" I demanded but he merely mocked me and here is where I release my anger. As he tried to touch me I slammed my foot back into his family jewels and heard him groan. Right as I felt the shift I twisted around, grabbed his fingers, twisted them to force his wrist back and kicked him in the shin. He braced himself as I fully turned around. As he tried to cause harm to me, I reacted.

Without a thought to his body, I grabbed the open collar of his shirt, yanked hard, forcing his head to hit a shelving unit, slammed my knee up into his stomach, then in a move I've seen both Makoto and Mamoru do several times in classes, slammed my elbow on top of his mid back forcing him further down to the ground. He tried to grapple my leg and I merely twisted around and slammed my knee into his head.

He went to look up at me, blood coming from a cut on his face from the shelving unit. "I tried to warn you." I tell him and go to grab a hunk of frozen meat to hit him with. However I grab it and the rest of the meat and tell him, "You're honestly not worth it you dipshit. Maybe now you'll think twice about how to treat a woman."

I leave out of the freezer and right into Mamoru who's looking at me in shock. It's then I notice that he sees my other boss on the ground groaning in pain, "He learned a lesson today in the treatment of others."

Before I can get the meat out which is starting to slip from my grasp, hence the need for two people to grab them, Mamoru goes to gently take my arm but due to the way the ass grabbed me, my arm is a little tender. He notices this and sees a bruise beginning to form.

I see the darkening in his eyes. Overprotective boyfriend mode is active and he's looking for blood now. "Don't worry, I handled him."

Mamoru debated on helping me with the meat or hurting the guy further. In the end he took some meat and left the freezer door open. As we walked back out I warn Motoki, "Might want to have a serious talk with your 'manager' about how to treat women."

Motoki sees my bruised arm and remarks, "Take the afternoon off, let my sis know I'll be right back. I have a former employee to deal with" before walking away.

You have to hand it to Motoki, if you hurt a friend of his, he's out for blood too. I clock out and head with Mamoru back to his place as I feel a bit adrenalized from the events. Not drained per say but, like I have a lot of energy to burn.

I don't know why but once we enter the apartment I feel a need to get out of my work uniform and into my normal clothes. I need to feel less out of place. More in control over things. I think Mamoru senses that as he gives me the opportunity to come to him. I take it as he asks, "I know asking if 'are you okay' is a dumb question so I'll just ask 'how are you feeling?'"

I lean away from him.

"Honestly, I feel like I'm I don't know…hyper adrenalized. Like I'm on a weird sugar high or something. I need to have something to take my mind from it. I ran into a prick and when 'no' wasn't enough I made sure he knew not to eff with me again," I tell him, "I fought an asshole and won when he saw me as this pathetic little thing."

"Makes sense. Right now, you're riding off of the adrenaline you got when you were in flight or fight mode." His logic is helping to reduce my stress levels right now and I think I know a good way to reduce them.

As he pulls me in for a hug I pull him in for a kiss. I need to feel something other than the anger I am currently in from that ass. I was getting pushed around and even groped a bit, I definitely feel like I need to get this excess energy out of me. To feel in control of things because without that training, without Mamoru coming around back when he did…I don't know and that's the part I'm not liking.

There's that thing that I'm not fond of. The out of control feeling I have and being here with Mamoru gives that feeling back to me. I need to take it and jump on it, or rather…I look up to Mamoru after the kiss and pull him towards the couch, pushing him onto it as I straddle him. He looks taken aback at first but lets me guide him on this. At first I thought he was going to protest the act but I think he sees that I need this so he lets me take the lead on this.

Or rather enjoys that I take the lead on this. It's mostly him and while I usually prefer it on this occasion I kind of need it. Our clothes begin to fall off. It seems as if I want to get rid of the clothing that was a part of the ice box incident. I want his hands on me, his touch, his hold, I want all of him to replace everything that occurred. When his hands are on me I get hasty, wanting to get him more naked.

I toss clothes from us all around, into various corners. When his hands touch my rump and breasts with tenderness I force my body more into them. His tender touch is a cross between soft and normal and I'm thinking…thanks for being soft but please be normal with me too, please don't treat me differently. He must sense this cause the next thing I feel is a rougher touch and his eyes asking me if it's okay.

I grip onto his member and see his eyes widen and before he can react to much I slip him into me without preamble. His head falls back as he grips onto my hips, digging in as I relish in feeling him more strongly than before. He breathes in heavily through his teeth as he struggles to remain in control of himself. I smile and begin to move up and down on him. My legs move the most as I feel his legs beneath my own.

His hands go to my breasts, massaging them as I move at a pace that befits my mood, slow on the drag up but a downward pace that's fast. I continue to move this way, enjoying the fits of control that he's working on. I can feel his fingers going between gripping to release as he tries to prevent himself from taking over in these moments. Instead he pulls me down more firmly onto his length.

I can feel the impact getting deeper. Feel his cock stretching me out. I bite my lip to avoid screaming but then feel his cock hit a part of me that has me letting out a sound close to that of a cat in heat that needs to be tamed. I see the expression in Mamoru's face and see the need in his own to 'claim my inner cat'. I can see how that turned him on as he lets out a little growl to the sound and I on purpose arch my back in response.

I feel his hands going to my breasts, cupping and massaging them, tweaking the nipples till they're as hard as pebbles. He then gives them the slightest twists, rubbing them afterwards gently as I hum in satisfaction. My mewls get louder as I yearn for more of him, more of what he has to offer.

"Usa…," he mutters, gripping my hips with a pent up need himself. I put my hands over his and hold them there for a moment.

I need to feel this, so I pull his hands from my hips to pin them to the couch. I watch his reaction as I take more pleasure from the shift in power. His hands grip my own tightly. Relinquishing the power while his body will allow it. Yet his hips follow through with his body as they plunge his member faster up into me. I slam back down just as hard now. Enjoying the new rhythm as he does smiling as I do.

I can see his control slipping, the pace, while deliciously good, isn't at its usual speed and I need his speed to make me crash hard into a powerful orgasm. He forces himself back though and I see it in his eyes. I can see the leash he has on it. He's refusing to allow his body to take control from me till I relinquish it. Seeing that power in him, that he wants me to have this makes a wave of love fill my heart.

I feel the need for this drop down. I feel the need to be in control seep away. I feel the need to be on top dissipate and while I enjoyed this part of our love making, I need to have my Mamoru in control. I need to feel him replacing that control…so to speak. I look down at him as he pushes up into me countless times till I slow it down and grip him firmly. His head falls back with his resistance dwindling.

"Mamo…," I voice. He looks up and sees the accepting expression. He gives me one 'are you sure?' look. I smile and in seconds flat he's now on top with me on the bottom. He spreads my legs wide, like WIDE wide as he plunges in without his own preamble. His member is going so fast he has to readjust himself a few times as he keeps slipping on the wood floor due to the sweat forming between us.

His breathing gets more labored. Mine gets heavier. I cling to him like static sheets. Holding on tight as he pushes me through a wild ride. I chant, "Yes!" so many times they begin to blur together to me. I can feel my insides beginning to tight and clench in response, as if I'm about to orgasm. I can feel his member beginning to get bigger signaling to me his own end is to come.

"Usa…" he grunts.

I can feel the orgasm hit with such intensity that I scream out his name. I hear my name get spoken with such ferocity I almost ask him if he's okay. Yet I already know it's just due to the intensity of this love making session. His hips are still thrusting into me even after my orgasm has occurred. It's as if he wants to see if he can keep it going. However he does stop but instead of pulling out he gently lays to my side with himself still inside of me.

Neither of us speak for a moment. To content in the moment to let speech happen. We just enjoy the tranquility of the moment. However, all good things must come to an end. I feel the need to move and my mouth speaks before I can stop it, "Thanks I needed that."

I didn't mean for it to sound bad but perhaps –

"I think we both did." He looks at me as we kiss once more, "Yeah we both did." Smiling.
