Day & Night

Afterglow

Kyojuro's POV

I held her naked body close to me, smiling. Tsukie, my girl, my beautiful precious flame. Looking down at her, I felt so happy.

"Come on, baby, let's go to my room. I'll get you some hot water and clean you up," I said as she cuddled closer to me. "Come on, baby, let's go."

As I was starting to get up, she wrapped herself around me tight. I couldn't help but laugh; I'd never seen her like this before.

"Baby, either we get the bathrobes and sneak into my room, or I take us there butt-ass naked," I whispered in her ear.

She started to detach herself from me and looked at me smiling. I went to turn off the water from the shower and quickly grabbed the bathrobes on the hooks next to the towels. Holding her hand, I pulled her behind me, making sure no one saw us. Turning the corners down the hall and finally coming up to my room, we were laughing at each other from sneaking around my own house.

"Shit, we left all of our stuff in the gym," she said, afraid to go back out. "And the blood, did I leave a trail?" She looked down, seeing dried blood along her legs.

"Hey, it's ok. I'll clean it up, and I'll clean you up, baby, come on," I said, walking her into my bathroom.

Turning the hot water on, I looked back at her, staring at her body and the love bites I left on her shoulders. Then, coming up behind her, I placed my hands on her hips, kissing her cheek.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" I asked, looking at her eyes in the mirror.

"No... Everything was...great," she smiled, leaning into me, hovering her fingertips over the marks on her skin. "I love them. I love you."

"I love you too, baby. I love my marks too," I said, spinning around showing the scratch marks she left on my back.

She smiled, blushing as I pulled her to the shower. The water was warm as I soaped up a loofa and cleaned her body off, and she returned the favor after I was done with her. We looked at each other, smiling. Getting out of the shower, we dried off and were in total bliss. I don't think either one of us has ever been this happy.

"Go ahead and get in bed. I'll be back to give you proper cuddles," I said, kissing the top of her head as she slipped out of the towel to get in my bed naked. It was the most beautiful sight to see.

Still having my towel around my waist, I closed my door behind me to go and gather our items from the gym. When I turned a corner, I almost toppled on my mother. She looked at me confused before examining me.

"Where are you coming from? I thought you were in the gym?" She asked, confused.

"I was. I just came from my bathroom," I said, not lying.

"Where's Tsukie?" She asked, and I had to think of something fast.

"In the gym shower," I said, and I felt my eye twitch. Shit.

"Don't you dare lie to me, Kyojuro," she said, narrowing her eyes.

I sighed before answering her. "She's in my room. I'm going to gather our items from the gym." My mother's face brightened as she covered her mouth to try to hide her smile. "Mother, please."

"Oh, my Gods," she said excitedly.

Placing my hands on her shoulder, I needed to be stern with what I was about to request. "Mother, Tsukie, and I have been through enough from everyone. There are even bets placed on us. So please just keep this to yourself for now and let us have some privacy with what we just did. Please?"

"Of course, son, I won't say anything until you do," she said smiling, and I didn't know if she was about to run to my father or not.

Walking past her to the gym, I grabbed our discarded clothes and her bag before heading back to my room before any of my family saw me. Some of the guards saw me, and I heard a low whistle from one of them, and I couldn't help but smile, knowing that they saw the scratch marks on my back. Entering my room, Tsukie was still in the bed, but the covers were below her hips, showing off her curves. Putting our stuff on the ground, I discarded my towel, settling in next to her.

"Hey baby," she said, turning to face me, nuzzling herself into me. "That was a lot better than I imagined."

"You imagined having sex with me?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her as I rolled to my back so that she was lying comfortably on my chest.

"Well yeah, of course," she said, nuzzling my neck before looking up at me. "I guess the dating agreement is off?"

I couldn't help but chuckle at her while I ran my fingers through her hair. "I had a big date planned and the perfect way to ask you, but I didn't expect this to happen." We laid there intertwined, enjoying the afterglow and the privacy. Smiling, I moved her on top of me so that she was straddling my waist, which I probably shouldn't have down because I could feel my erection growing again.

"Ms. Kajiura... Tsukie... baby, my beautiful moon," I started as I ran my hands up and down her naked body. "Do you want to go out with me, or should we stay friends?"

She laughed, leaning down to press her chest to mine, kissing my chin. "What if I said I wanted to stay friends," she teased, trailing her kisses along my jaw.

"Well, I guess friends with benefits will work then. I mean, it works with Tengen and me," I teased as she shot up.

"Fucking what?!" She screamed as my bedroom door was thrown open. She let out a small scream when I tossed her over to shield her from the intruder.

Looking over my shoulder, I was about to yell at the person until I saw my younger brother standing there, angry. I had never seen him this angry before.

"Brother! You told me that you and Tsukie were good and that you would ask her to be your girlfriend. But, instead, she's in the gym, and you are sneaking around with some.... some... whore," he yelled, stuttering.

"Senjuro," I said, but he kept yelling as I was trying to cover my bare butt and Tsukie's leg.

"How could you do this to her again! You said you'd change!" He kept on.

"Senjuro," I said, trying to get him to stop.

"I believed you, brother...." He said as his voice cracked, and I knew he was on the verge of tears.

Tsukie leaned up, trying to not expose herself to my brother. "Oh, Senjuro, that's so sweet of you coming to my rescue," she said, and I saw my brother's complexion turn red.

My poor innocent brother slowly exited my room, closing the door behind him as Tsukie and I let out a laugh. Once our laughter died down, she asked me the interrupted question.

"So... are you bisexual?" Tsukie asked, and I laughed again.

"No, baby, it was a joke," I said, kissing her. "Did you think I was?"

"You and Tengen are so weird together I wouldn't put it past the two of you if you experimented with each other," she said, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"So much for privacy," I said after my laughing fit.

"You really think it was going to last?" She said, laughing.

"I just wanted to keep you to myself just a little while longer," I said, biting the soft skin in the curve of her neck.

"Kyo," she moaned out, snaking her hands in my hair. I wanted to explore more, touch more, taste more, but I knew that we needed to get up and face the world.

"As much as I want to bury myself in you again, we don't have that luxury right now, baby," I said in between kisses along her neck and jaw before placing one on her lips. "Plus, you never answered my question from earlier."

She looked at me and studied my face. Leaning up to kiss a sensitive spot under my earlobe before whispering in my ear, "I want to be yours, baby, only yours."
