The Border of Asakusa (Benimaru x Reader)

Onsen *

You clutched the small towel around yourself in the cool night air, as the breeze chilled your still wet skin from the required pre-bathing shower. The private onsen was truly stunning: gorgeous plants, a large stone pool, candlelit lanterns, a high bamboo fence ensuring your privacy... and not a cloud in the night sky. In all the empire, the stars shone the brightest in Asakusa.

His broad bare chest was the first thing your eyes focused on through the steam. His arms rested on the ledge with his head tipped back. Oh please... warm me up.

His usual attire hid his physique. Any hints as to what it may have looked like came from how he moved. The precision and power of his movements, you assumed, must require exceptional physical ability, and the naked body in front of you was nothing short of exceptional. How can he be so modest when he looks like this? All the other men run around the station shirtless, but never him... Why?

His gentle breathing calmed you. He looked completely at ease. He told you communal bathing like this was normal... You felt lecherous for sexualizing it, but you wanted him to stand up. To drink in more of him all at once, unhurried, and uninhibited, unlike your prior fleeting sights of him. His pale skin reflected the moonlight, and you wanted to trace every shadow of his strong body with your lips. His glowing pyro eyes locked on yours in a sharp tilt down of his head, like he felt you watching him.

You inhaled and looked down.

And as if he heard your plea, he stood. What you caught from your peripheral made you roll your lips between your teeth. He slowly turned his back to you so you could enter the water unseen. You dipped your foot in and gasped slightly at the heat.

He instinctively rotated his head toward you, but caught himself before he looked at you. "Is it too hot?"

"No, no it's fine. Just will take a minute for me to get used to it."

He nodded and returned to face the bamboo.

A satisfied sigh fell from your lips as you lowered fully into the warm pool. Despite your captain's protests, you'd insisted on helping with construction and repairs in town for most of the day. The warm spring water felt incredible on your tired body. You instantly understood the enthusiasm your superiors shared for this place... the serene environment, the healing mineral water...

Benimaru waded through the water to sit on the stone beside you. "You don't seem relaxed." His voice was low and soothing.

"What gave me away?" You fluttered.

He lifted your hand from the water with two fingers on your wrist. "Your pulse is racing."

Of course it is. Because you are naked and you are touching me- "Is yours not?"

He placed your palm on his chest. You were deeply grateful that the heat had already flushed your cheeks, but you were certain the awe of feeling his bare chest showed in your face. It definitely showed in the slight curl of your fingertips. "No." He answered smoothly.

"I'm sorry, I feel like I'm not getting out of this what I'm supposed to."

"Oh? Are you... nervous?" He tucked a lock of your hair back behind your ear to prevent it from falling in the water.

"I- don't think that is the right word." You looked away.

"Then what is?"

"I- Uh- a- aroused." You admitted, embarrassed. "Obviously you're not having the same reaction. I'm sorry. I know this isn't supposed to be a sexual thing I just-" You tried to move away.

He interrupted you by lifting you into his lap, pressing the full length of his hard cock against your outer thigh.

Your little gasp at being lifted so effortlessly shifted into a "Ohh-"
