Ruka pov:

I woke up to a weight over my body. I opened my eyes with a tired sigh to stare at the ceiling in a daze for a few moments. The room was dimly lit by the sunlight that came in through the translucent windows – it was clearly time to wake up but the weight on me the fatigue I was feeling didn't allow me to.

I looked down at Kichiro sama as he laid asleep with his head just above my bare chest. Memories of last night filled my mind causing a dark blush to rise on my cheeks but I smiled as I caressed Kichiro sama's head gently, lovingly. He was asleep rather deeply, something I hadn't seen him do even once in all the time I had been with him, and he didn't stir under my gentle gestures in the slightest. He must have been really tired because of all the work and sleepless nights and the extra workout he had last night.

I gentle moved some strands of his hair off his face, adoring how serene he looked. I blushed yet again though, recalling how blissful it had been being with Kichiro sama last night. Teaching him what it meant for a man and woman to become one was flustering and it had only been more so because I had been rather embarrassing.

I had called out to him countless times as he embraced me, as I looked into his deep eyes as he hovered over me. I remember them holding curiosity besides a sort of intense possessiveness as he observed every one of my reactions to his caresses. I had clung to him tightly, completely lost in our moment of passion. Kichiro sama was mildly hesitant the whole time and slow – as such, being with him didn't hurt as much as I had thought it would. He was instinctively gentle too and his every gesture had me shuddering and calling out his name over and over again.

I had always known that he was toned, well-built underneath the layers of clothes he wore and it had only been proved when I saw his physique yesterday. His chest and torso were broad and mildly buff, his arms were strong, but his hold was so tender. Seeing his strong and sculpted body glistening in sweat was too much for me – he was so beautiful and I couldn't get enough of him...which is why, all I could do was cling to him desperately as tears fell from my eyes from all the overwhelming emotions and feelings.

I remembered him caressing my head every now and then, gently wiping off the tears of pain and pleasure that fell from my eyes. He was just so...loving.

My smile widened as he sighed once in his sleep, interrupting my thoughts. He shivered slightly as well as a cool breeze came in through the window. I tugged at the blanket to cover him till the neck and continued to caress his head gently, running my fingers through his hair every now and then. I could feel his strong heartbeat against my chest and it was contenting. It made me sleepy and tempted me to rest my sore body more – despite how gentle Kichiro sama had been, it was my first time and quite strenuous.

I yawned and closed my eyes to sleep – I'm sure there were no worries about getting a little extra shut eye. Kichiro sama, being the punctual emperor he always was, wasn't awake yet so it meant that we still had some time before we could get ready for the day. Sighing in content, I drifted off into light slumber.

When I woke, I was alone in the bed and slightly tangled in the blanket. I sat up slowly, wincing as my body ached, and looked around the room while holding the blanket up to cover my bare front-side. A small pout surfaced onto my lips – I'm sure Kichiro sama had gone off to work again. And here I thought I could laze around with him a bit after our special night...

With a shake of my head, I pushed those thoughts away and decided to get ready for the day. Wrapping the blanket around myself sort of securely, I scooted to the edge of the bed. A light shiver went down my spine when my feet met the cool floor and I stood up with a wince. I felt a little unbalanced, my legs seeming weak. Taking another deep inhale, I stepped towards the bathroom. I had barely taken a few steps, however, before my legs gave out under me and I sunk to the floor in a heap.
