"Kai, I'm crying because I'm flooded with happiness. This is one of the best presents I've ever received in this life." I revealed.
"I'm glad." He whispered. He reached out to cradle my cheeks; his thumbs lightly brushed the tears that trickled down my flushed cheeks.
He pressed his forehead against mine; his lips only an inch away from mine.
"I want to kiss you so bad, Makoto."
"Then kiss me?"
"Eli said I can't."
"I guess Eli didn't mention my lipstick is nothing but a glamour effect," I revealed. He smiled, not waiting any longer as his lips met mine – blossoming into a blissful kiss. His right hand continued to cradle my cheek while his other left my face to wrap around my waist, pressing him against me. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue glided across my bottom lip; as if to ask for entry. I smiled as I answered with my own tongue; tugging at his lower lip before I slid my tongue into his mouth. He groaned; our tongues danced together - the feverish kiss left us breathless as we reluctantly pulled apart, panting.
"Mako. I'll make sure they bring all this stuff back home, so...can we go home? I want you alone." He whispered.
"That sounds like a good plan. I want you all to myself tonight." I disclosed, leaning up to kiss him again. The one thing I loved about Kai was how direct he was. I didn't need to figure him out; he told me exactly how he was feeling and what he wanted.
He pulled away; those hooded eyes were enough to make me giggle in anticipation.
"Shall we make our way then, Princess?" He asked as he pulled back, presenting his hand. I smiled at his gesture as I laid my hand upon his. He tugged me forward as we made our way to the exit.
"Kai?"
"Yes, Princess."
I stopped for a moment; Kai stopped with me as he turned to face me yet again.
"I love you," I whispered, looking straight into those amber glowing eyes. They widened for a moment as his cheeks reddened. A brilliant smile formed on his face; his eyes glittered with delight as he stared down at me.
"I love you more, Makoto Heart." He replied, pulling me into another kiss. After another breathtaking kiss, we made our way to the exit once more; aching to continue our make-out session on the way home and have a lust-filled night.
I looked over my shoulder one last time; the final Christmas inspired image looked just as magnificent from afar. It made me wonder if his image was merely a figment of his imagination or reality yet to come.
"Kai?"
"Good Evening, Sleeping Beauty. Did I wake you?" He greeted me, kneeling next to the bathtub.
"I...um...weren’t we in the car?" My mind was fuzzy; the last thing I remembered was us getting into the white limo that was taking us home. He gave me a low chuckle before he replied.
"Yes, we were but the moment you sat in those soft leather cushions, you were out.” He explained.
“How did I get in the bath? Did Midnight take over?”
“Nope. I carried you.” He grinned. I knew that look on his face.
"You predicted this, didn't you?" I mumbled. I pressed my body against the corner of the jacuzzi, sighing.
"Maybe. Regardless, I assumed you'd want a nice relaxing bath to soothe your aching muscles before we went to bed. It’s been a long night."
I couldn't help but smile. Even if his gift of foresight was a pain at times, his caring side gave me warm fuzzies.
I noticed his ginger hair was combed to the side; his amber eyes looked tired. He wore nothing but orange, silk boxers; his bare chest made me lick my lips in desire.
"Did you bathe yet?" I whispered, unable to hide my attraction to him as I let my hand caress his cheek.
I watched the predatory look return to his eyes as they roamed my body. I relaxed in the corner of the large jacuzzi; the water filled with bubbles and enough water to hide my lower half, my perky breasts visible due to my change in position.
I was ready to sit back in, feeling shy at giving Kai a good view when he stood up, distracting me from my hiding mission.
His hands went to the band of his boxers; my eyes grew wide as I watched him slide them down – his large length came into full view as he stood there naked.
I couldn't stop my eyes from roaming as I bit my lip hard, hoping this wasn't just a dream.
"No, I haven't Princess." He whispered, making his way to the opposite side of the large jacuzzi, taking his time to submerge himself in the bubble bath before making his way over to me.
He was at my side in seconds, giving me a playful smirk before he reached out for my hand. I didn't hesitate – my hand fell into his before he helped me stand up; water dripped down my body. The remaining foam from the bubbles began its slow descent down my figure; Kai took his time to admire my body.
I knew the multiple love bites from Marcus and Ryuu's lovemaking were prominent and all over me. I wonder if he'd be upset about that.
"About what?” He replied. I cursed at my failed attempt at keeping my thoughts internal.
"About the love bites."
He took another glance at my neck and chest.
"Hmm. I don't like the fact that none of them are mine. But, that can be fixed."
He leaned down to kiss me; his hands gripped the side of the bath; his body pressed against mine.
We took it slow; our lips barely touched as he gave me little kisses before his lips massaged mine, becoming longer and more passionate with each movement.
I loved these moments with Kai, the slowness of his lovemaking as if we had all the time in the world. It made me feel balanced.
I especially enjoyed the way our tongues intertwined as we kissed; his hands roamed my body in a sensual movement while mine slid along his broad chest, relaxing on his shoulders and wrapping around his neck, pulling him even closer.
It wasn't long till our kisses grew deeper, becoming more demanding. His right hand left my waist, gliding into the water and finding my pussy with ease; his fingers began to play with my clit.
I broke the kiss to moan, enjoying the way he began to rub at my hard bud – his lips landed on my shoulder blade and began his conquest to leave a fresh set of love bites in places Marcus hadn't.
"Kai baby. I want you." I whispered.
He returned to look at me; my hands returned to his hips as I tugged him against me, kissing him once more. He smirked against my mouth before biting my lower lip, playfully; his finger still played with my clit.
"We don't have much alone time, so I think I'll comply with your request." He acknowledged in a low, husky voice against my lips. His fingers left my clit alone, returning to my sides once more.
My hand grasped his cock, causing him to tense up as he gave me a pleasurable look.
"Mako." He warned; the commanding tone of his voice made me more daring. I enjoyed when the guys teased and pleased me, but I wanted a moment of control – to be the one to make them groan and cum.
"What Kai?" I continued my up and down strokes; my hand enjoyed the feel of his cock becoming harder. He let out a long groan before his hand landed on my ass, squeezing it.
"You don't know what you do to me." He whispered; our lips barely touched. I continued my hand job, enjoying the lust in his eyes as I stared up at him – the feeling of his arousal growing as his breath came out in rapid pants. I could see the strain on his face – he was close.
"Show me." I urged; my flirtatious voice foreign to my ears. I became so animalistic when I was horny. I didn't care about titles or feelings of embarrassment. All I wanted was Kai, fucking me in this hot bubble bath before we got interrupted.
It only took a moment – his lustful eyes flickered from amber to glowing orange before I was pressed against the wall of the jacuzzi; my legs wrapped around his waist. The water made me as light as a feather. His cock slid into me in one, long thrust.
Our bodies went still, enjoying the feel of his hard, erect cock in my wet, throbbing pussy. He began to move – thrust after thrust – moan after moan; the water splashed around
us and over the edge as Kai's thrusts became faster. I tightened my legs around him as I continued moaning; his lips were preoccupied with sucking my hard, sensitive nipples as his free hand fondled my other breast.
"You like that Princess."
"Yes, faster Kai."
"You’re so tight baby...feels so fucking good."
"More, Kai please." I pleaded, feeling so close.
Our lips smashed into each other – hungry to taste him; his hand continued to play with my breast while my hands roamed his chest and tangled into his ginger locks.
His hand left my hypersensitive breast, returning to my ass and repositioning me so his cock hit me deeper with the following thrust.
Our moans echoed within the hollow walls; our bodies worked hard to build the growing sexual tension that was on the verge of release.
"Do I make you feel good?" He demanded; his eyes flickered once more.
"Yes, you do. Don't stop." I struggled with my own battle for control, Lily at the edge of my mind. I wouldn't be surprised if my once turquoise eyes were flickering to amber. One side of me wanted to let her enjoy a moment with Kai's phoenix, Hinotori, but I was going to be selfish in this moment, wanting to feel every second of pleasure from Kai. I knew from the way his eyes kept flickering but returning to his normal eye color, he battled the same.
He gritted his teeth as he let out a frustrated grunt, his thrusts rapid as he fucked me hard.
"I'm gonna cum." He confessed.
"Cum hard into me Kai. Every damn drop." I begged; my breathy voice pitched higher as I struggled to hold my release.
I couldn't stop my body from cumming hard, crying out as I climaxed. Kai came right after – his body jerked as he let out a loud moan, his cock stilled deep within me as his hot fluid released.
He kept himself inside me – both of us rode out the orgasm before we tried to tame the rapid exhales that escaped our swollen lips.
I finally opened my eyes to see his intense gaze – those amber jeweled eyes stared at me with admiration.
"You’re so fucking beautiful, Princess." He confessed; his voice but a whisper before he pulled me into an embrace. I kissed his neck softly, still trying to calm myself. I pulled back to look up at him; his lips lowered to give me a tender, loving kiss.
He eased himself out of me, lowering us both into the water as we relaxed. I closed my eyes, letting my body lower from the sexual high it rode.
I began to giggle, a thought coming to my mind. Kai's hand went against my cheek, prompting me to look up at him.
"What?" He questioned, curiosity itching in his pleased expression.
"You attempted to give me a bath to clean me up, and yet, you contributed to the mess. " I laughed, unable to stop.
He blushed, looking away.
"Well...it wasn't supposed to go this way originally." He mumbled.
"Oh really?"
"I think." He confessed; the embarrassment on his face made me giggle before I leaned in and kissed him. He pressed back; his hands encircled me beneath the water as the jets turned on. He bit my lip gently.
"I think we should both clean up before I get caught not doing my knightly duties of taking care of you." He revealed.
"We wouldn't want that, now would we?" I pondered, pulling out of his embrace to the other side of the large bath, smirking as his eyes lingered on my chest.
"What?"
"Hmm, not enough bite marks." He gave me a dangerous smirk.
"Oh no. I'm not your canvas for you to cover with your marks. Go away, shoo." I announced, flicking water at him. His grin widened but he didn't stop his slow approach.
"You're a beautiful piece of work, Makoto." He reached my side in seconds; his hooded eyes gazed down into mine.
"And you'll always be mine." I whispered back; my arm wrapped around the back of his neck, pulling him down into one last feverish kiss.
Chapter Fourteen
"Ryder? Where are we going? This is such a steep hill." I pondered as we headed up the cement path; my gloved hand in his.
"You'll see in a moment." Ryder looked over his shoulder; his Tyrian eyes glimmered with excitement and a hint of amusement as we continued to make our way up the hill.
I'd slept throughout most of the morning, waking up only because Nightmare kept nudging at my face. I'd let my familiar do her own thing, telling her I'd be down on Earthala before we left. I didn't expect her to be here on Christmas Eve but there she was, jumping up and down on the bed as she pounced on me to wake up.
I eventually got up, taking a long, hot shower. My body was sore from all the dates I'd had this week, and the heart pumping sex. I wondered if I'd get tired of the pleasurable activity. Nah.
Elias had made us breakfast as we settled around the kitchen table together; eating and discussing the night’s event. The boys had shared their catch-up session with Team Seven when they decided to chill at the bar, after Kai and I disappeared to finish our date.
Ryder and I had begun our date relaxing at home – reading a few Christmas stories; my body in his lap as we read them together before playing multiple video games. We finally decided to go outside before it started to become dark.
I didn't understand why we were currently climbing the steep, snowy hill until we reached the top. I gasped at the huge sloped trail; my eyes landed on five husky dogs and a sled.
"What's this?" I questioned, curious and excited at the same time.
"This is going to be our ride for this afternoon. Those loyal huskies are going to take us to our next secret location." Ryder mused, leaning against me as his lips claimed mine; the kiss done within seconds.
"They're gonna take us all the way there? They know the way?"
"Yup. We don't need to do anything but relax. Let's make our way Princess. I bet you’re excited for what's to come." Ryder pursued, tugging me lightly as we made our way to the sled.
It didn't take long till we were both settled in the black sled, ready to depart.
"How are you going to tell them to go?" I questioned.
"All I have to do is command them. Humans use whips and such to order them to move but shifters hate such cruel methods. They can sense our spirits and will listen to a simple command. Stryker really likes animals." Ryder explained before revealing Stryker's fondness of the animal.
"Really now. That's cute." I giggled; my back leaned into his embrace as his hands tightened around me.
"Ready? They run faster than normal huskies." Ryder cautioned.
"The faster the better." I looked up at him. His lips pressed quickly on mine before he focused forward.
"MUSH!" Ryder commanded; power flowed from the single word. The five huskies howled in unison before running and pulling us forward. I turned in Ryder's embrace as my hands held the side of the sled, peering at the scenery as we plowed by. Ryder relaxed, one of his arms still secured around my waist while his free hand landed on mine.
I turned to face him – hoping my ecstatic expression was enough to prove how much fun I was already having.
After ten minutes, I returned to relaxing in Ryder's arms; my head against his chest while we continued our journey to this so-called secret location. The sun was already making its descent in the sky – the sky turned into a piece of artwork as the warm colors of orange and yellow began to transcend to blues, purples, and hints of pink.
Sunsets had always brought peace and joy to my heart. Just as the sunrise gave me renewed purpose and happiness.
I must have dozed off; the smooth feel of the sled and Ryder's heartbeat calmed me to the point of unconsciousness. It wasn't till Ryder lightly nudged me that I awoke.
"Makoto love, we're here."
I opened my eyes, sitting up and rubbing them. When I could finally see clearly, my turquoise eyes widened at the fascinating scene before me.
Lights – of all colors hung intricately on the multiple trees around us. I rose up to my feet; my jaw slack as I continued admiring the multicolored display. As my eyes continue
d to appreciate the beautiful decorations, they noticed that those weren't the only display. A luminous white glow began to expand in the sky – transitioning from a light green to a beautiful violet purple, swaying from left to right as if the window was guiding it along the dark, starry sky.
It was such a mystical experience; my heart pumped fast against my chest as my transfixed gaze continued to peer above; my hand reached up as if the sky was mere inches from my grasp. I continued to watch as the lights continued to dance – shifting from different variations of purple, blue and soon pink.
Eventually, Ryder's arms wrapped around me as I continue to watch the beautiful display; wishing it wouldn't end.
"It will still be here. I have more to show you, baby." Ryder whispered in my ear.
I turned myself into his embrace; my arms wrapped around his waist; my lips brushed his.
"It’s more beautiful than this place?" I inquired. He nodded.
"I promise we’ll come back, but I have other things to show you." He emphasized on "things" as he grinned.
"Okay," I replied, placing a firm kiss on his lips. He returned my kiss, allowing us to enjoy each other's taste before we pulled apart. His hand slipped into mine as he began to walk forward into the deep forest.
We walked in silence, but it was a comfortable silence. Words didn't need to be exchanged for us to enjoy one others company as we continued to admire the light show that emphasized Mother Starlight’s intricate beauty.
I'd never seen such a display in books or in the shows that Marcus showed me. This was a brand-new experience, and I wanted to enjoy every moment of it.
We reached a clearing; my head tilted in wonder as I saw the entrance. The words Wonderscape Amusement Park were in gold and pink colors, while the lights flashed on and off.
"Amusement park? Is this where humans take those silly rides that go at super high speeds, and they die?" I asked, frowning. Ryder struggled to hold back a laugh; his shoulders shook.
