Asami's Shadow (Ryoma's POV)

Chapter 62

Sayomi was still fast asleep when I woke, thanking whoever was listening that it wasn't a dream.  I carefully unraveled myself from her and covered her with a blanket before setting off into the morning chill.  Try as I might, I couldn't manage to catch anything and felt defeated as I filled a container with water from a nearby stream.  How did she expect to survive out here?  She couldn't possibly be able to hunt.

I headed back and paused at the door as Sayomi was prepared to kill.  Okay... maybe she could...  "You're awake..."

She relaxed, lowering the blade. "You're here..."

I slowly walked over and gave her some water to drink. "Of course I am.  Are you feeling better?"

She nodded, only sipping a little before setting it aside.  She needs to eat and drink more...  "The hike took a lot out of me."

A small smile formed on my lips. "I could tell."

When she hugged me, my heart raced. "Thank you for being here."

I returned her embrace. "Where else would I be?"

She caught me off guard as her lips met mine, but I didn't pull away, missing her taste.  I caught her hands when they pulled at my shirt.  "You can't..."

She didn't hear me as she captured my lips again and curled her fingers into me hair.  She tugged and I opened to her, trying to be gentle as I took us to the ground.  We can't...  I pulled away, as much as I wanted and missed her, this was dangerous.  She put her hand on my cheek, smiling softly.  "I'm okay..."

My restraint was near its end as I kissed her neck.  "If you need me to stop, tell me." She sighed as I kissed and nipped at her neck, hands slipping under her shirt to massage her breast.  She pulled me close as she moaned and our tongues dueled until I removed her top completely.

I had to paused, taking in her wounds.  They aimed to kill...  I held back tears as my fingers brushed over them lightly, her side and stomach now bearing proof of steel that were buried deep.  Anymore and she would have... 

She forced me to look at her as she cupped my face.  "I'm alive, that's what's important."  She said the same about her pain...

I leaned down and trailed my lips along her face, pulling her up to straddle me as she removed my shirt.  She rocked her hips against me and my breath hitched, answering her plea as I slipped my hand between us to explore her sex.  She moaned into my mouth as I poked and prodded at her clit, breaths ceasing when my fingers entered her.  Fuck... I can't hold back much longer...

She rode them in time with my strokes and I felt her tighten as she moved faster until she tensed and shook as she came.  I forced myself to be gentle as I did away with everything keeping her from me.  I paused taking in her beauty before pushing myself into her.  The sight was entrancing as her eyelids fell and she whimpered in pleasure, wrapping her legs around me as I slowly stretched her more.

Her moans only pushed me further while trying not to give in to her slick heat before she was satisfied.  She bit into my shoulder as she contracted around me and I drove into her faster until we both convulsed, swept into oblivion, falling limp to its force.  I shifted so she was on my chest and covered us with the blankets.  She laced her fingers into to mine as we began to drift to sleep and this time, I was never going to let go.
