Chapter 8: The innocent, the eager, and the doomed

 

She in took a breath and closed her eyes for the moment to come; yet, it never came. She opened her eyes and saw Shido walk towards the balcony, and lean down to and look around.

‘Do not tell me he wants to feel the air now’ she thought confused.

"Lady Yayoi is that you?" called Shido looking at down at the figure that was roaming around. He would have ignored the noise of pebbles hitting the glass of the window, but he was more afraid of Riho's safety then his lust.

"Lord Shido thank god," she said.

Riho gasped as she heard her name.

Shido turned towards her and looked annoyed as well.

Riho said nothing as she pulled the satin throw around her.

Shido walked towards her and cupped her face. "I pray that you are not angry with Me."

"Why would I be my lord?" she asked looking at him.

 

He pulled her towards him and placed his lips on her, the contact alone was enough to make her go weak in the knees, and she kissed back with a smile. She pulled away from him breathing heavy. "Lady Yayoi waits" she said picking her things up.

"Your angry" he said.

"No, I just do not think she likes me much, and if she was to see me here...like this would give her a trauma" she said blushing.

"I wouldn't mind her seeing us like this" he said running his hand through her hair.

"I beg that you go now, or I shall not let you go at all," she said with closed eyes.

"Is that so?" he asked against her ear.

"Please" she whispered.

He pulled on his shirt not bothering to button it and walked towards the grand doors few floors below. Riho sighed and went towards the studio in which they had shared their first act of intimacy. She smiled at the small fire, she walked towards the clothing on the floor and picked them up and was on her way down to her room, where she was going to change into her nightgown and go to bed dreaming of her new found prince.

"Lady Yayoi what is the matter is everything all right?" asked Shido letting the brunette in.

"What has happened to your servants?" she asked.

"They have this night to do as they please," he said.

"Really Lord Shido your too kind" she said.

"My Lady to what do I owe your visit?" he asked.

"I have come to give you my apology, for I was very rude at the ball. I would have come sooner but I couldn't bear to show my face in shame and embarrassment" she said covering her face with her hand.

Shido sighed and chuckled, "Really Lady Yayoi it really is nothing, and I do not think I am the one who deserves this apology."

"Lady Riho is she awake?" asked Yayoi.

"I believe so, I will go check. I am sorry that I cannot serve you better tonight," he said walking towards the stairs.

Yayoi smiled and shook her head, "No it's fine." 

 

Shido broke into a smile as he neared her bedroom. He knocked softly before opening the door. He smiled when he saw her trying to button her nightgown on herself. He walked behind her and kissed the pale smooth soft skin of her back.

Riho gasped and turned fast with a hand over her breast. "You mustn't do that."

"I could not resist," he said taking her hand from her chest and kissing it.

"Lady Yayoi has departed already?" she asked.

Shido sighed and shook his head. "She came to apologize for her rudeness at the ball."

"I see, very well I shall go to bed," she said walking towards the bed.

Shido grabbed her wrist, Riho looked at him as if in question.

"Shall I be left unsatisfied?" he asked in a small husky voice.

Riho blushed and looked away. "You will tease?"

"No my love, I only want to feel a passion I feel when I am surrounded by you" he said.

"You shall capture me with your poetry for each time you speak I feel my heart leave me" she said.

"Then come away with me," he said.

"I believe I already have my lord," she said placing a hand on his cheek.

"You will not see Lady Yayoi?" he asked.

"I don't think I can ever face her," she said.

"Very well, I shall see her off" he said.

Riho nodded as he watched him close the door smiling at her.

 

Yayoi waited patiently. She smiled when she thought of her plan. "You shall be mine," she whispered.

Shido came down the stairs and found Yayoi sitting quietly looking through the book of poetry he and Riho had been looking at earlier.

"Lady Yayoi if you would be so kind to come again, Lady Riho is kind and won't hold this to the heart" he said.

"You speak so decidedly of her," said Yayoi looking down at the expensive carpeting.

Shido had this drunken look to his feature. "She has made this palace and being a Lord bearable."

"Well then I am sorry to spoil your sleep," she said standing.

"It was nice seeing you again," he said.

"It is always nice to see you Lord Shido, but I do not believe it is always for you" she said walking out.

Shido closed the door, sighed, and made his way up the stairs. He stopped in front of her door. He smiled and walked in.

"I was wondering if you were going to come," she whispered sitting on her bed.

"How could I leave you there?" he asked coming to sit next to her.

"Is this right my lord?" she asked.

"What ever do you mean?" he asked knowing very well what she meant.

"In this day and culture it is wrong to do such things" she said looking at him.

"I believe it is, but I can not restrain myself from being with you, from touching you" he whispered kissing her cheek.

"A mere kiss is very different from what we did...what we we’re about to do" she said as she blushed.

"Do you doubt my love?" he asked looking at her.

"No! Of course I do not! But I belong to the church, and what we have done is a sin, I may not have married him...but I'm still entitled to him" she whispered looking away.

Shido placed a finger under her chin and made her look at him. "Then shall I ask my Lady to be at my side forever more?"

"I don't understand I am here with you and would stay at your side always if you wish me too" she said her brows knitting together.

Shido laughed as he kissed her forehead. "I'm asking you to marry me my love," he said.

Riho sat with her mouth hanging slightly open. "Marry...marry you?"

"I know I'm not the best looking and you deserve more then this but I would give you everything I'm capable of" He said taking her hands into his own and bringing to his lips.

"Your enough and more, I do not wish for anything more" she said as tears welled in the corner of her eyes.

"You mustn't cry!" he said cupping her face.

"I'm crying out of joy, if someone told me that I would one day find you I would have never believed them" she said throwing her arms around him.

"You know what I wouldn't have believed that I would find you either but here you are with me, in my arms, and will be forever in my arms." He said kissing her neck. "Sleep now and we will tell everyone tomorrow morning," he said pulling away to a stand as she looked up at him.

"I love you," she whispered.

"And I love you my Lady" he said walking slowly towards the door.

"Then you will not leave me unsatisfied will you?" she asked standing and dropping her nightgown.

He froze and watched as the silk reveled each part of her body slowly before pooling around her legs. "Dear god."

"Well my Lord?" she asked.

He was at her side instantly pulling her against him and holding her naked form close. She shuddered as he ran his mouth down the length of her neck, feeling hot and cold at the same time. Unsure of what to do, she sat perfectly still, waiting for him to show her what he wanted of her. She slid an arm around his waist for balance as he reached up to take the clip out of her hair. It tumbled over her shoulders and down to her waist.

He ran his hands through the tresses, enjoying the silky slide of it on his skin. "You have such beautiful hair," he said softly, gathering it back from her face. He leaned down to kiss her again and she met him halfway. He teased at her lower lip with his tongue. Riho pulled away as if teasing, he chuckled. He brought his mouth to hers again, this time gently nibbling at her lips. She gasped and he took advantage of the opportunity to tease the inside of her mouth with his tongue. Riho shivered at the feeling of his tongue in her mouth. Shido ran one hand up and down her back in a soothing motion loving the feel of her soft smooth back.

Riho then gently brushed her lips against Shido's. She licked her lips as she looked at him. "I shall never tire of that."

"Good because if you did I'd have something to worry about," he said pushing her to the bed.

"My Lord what are you implying that I shall be bored of you?" she asked sitting on the bed.

He smiled and he reached out and drew her to him, and gave her a deep, passionate kiss. She responded ardently, actually grabbing the lapel of his shirt. Shido lowered her down onto the bed, never breaking the kiss, and kicked off his shoes. He sat up to remove his shirt and tossed it across the room. Riho was astonished over and over to see the muscles rippling on his lean form. Shido took her hands and pressed them to his stomach. She ran her hands over his chest, stopping when he inhaled sharply. He merely smiled and urged her to continue. She was again surprised by the softness of his skin. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. Even the finest satin didn't compare. She slid her hands across his broad shoulders and down his back, ending at his waist.

Shido reached for her and she didn't resist. He brushed soft little kisses on her skin. Riho shuddered as he continued, running his mouth down the curve of her spine and back up again. Her breathing was jerky, at best, and she couldn't believe how he was making her feel. He smiled, glad that she was able to respond and not thinking of the church. He had hoped to make this as pleasurable an experience for her as he could. Riho's eyes were half-lidded as she looked at him.

"You're so beautiful." He whispered. She blushed again. He pulled her to him, resting her head on his shoulder. She gasped at the contact between their bare skin, and her nipples hardened as they brushed against his chest. He reached up to cup them in his hands, running his thumbs across her nipples. She shivered and her head fell back. Shido used the opportunity to feather kisses down her throat. He laid her back down onto the bed and stretched out next to her, still teasing her nipples. He took one hardened peak into his mouth and suckled gently. Riho gasped aloud, arching her back. He slipped an arm under her back to hold her closer as he continued, paying equal attention to both breasts. Then he trailed kisses down the plain of her stomach.

Shido paused to catch his breath, not unaffected himself. His pants were uncomfortably tight and he was beginning to feel a bit warm. He slid down onto the carpet beside the bed. Riho watched him with heavy eyes, waiting to see what he would do next. He came to kiss her again and she wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her fingers in his hair. She sighed; never having expected that he would make her feel this way. She never expected any of it.

Shido kissed his way up to her breasts again. He flicked the hard nubs with his tongue, making her squirm against him. He slid one hand down to rest against her mound and she stiffened.

"Should I thank god now for what he had given me," he whispered into her ear, nibbling on the lobe. She slowly relaxed, and he reached down to touch her. She whimpered as he ran one finger between her folds to explore her most private place for the second time that night. He kissed her slowly and thoroughly, distracting her from what he was doing. He found her clitoris and began to gently stroke it.

"Shido..." she gasped, straining toward him. "Shido..."

He smiled; glad to see that she was enjoying his ministrations. He continued to rub her, feeling a sudden wetness against his finger. He slid his finger into her passage and moved it around. She was tight, but that was to be expected. He moved a second finger to join the first, attempting to gauge the width. He looked up at her face; her eyes were closed tightly and she was panting rapidly. He continued to move his fingers in and out as he rubbed her button. Soon she was arching to him.

"Oh, Shido!" she moaned as she began to spasm. Her eyes rolled back as she felt wave after wave of pleasure rush over her. Riho couldn't think, couldn't even breathe. All she could do was surrender to the sensations he was producing. Shido could barely contain himself. Every fiber of his body was demanding the release he had just given to her. He took his straining organ in his hand and rubbed it against her opening, wetting it with her juices. She tensed a bit as he slowly entered her, then tried to relax as he continued in. He paused when he encountered her barrier. He captured her mouth for a long, hot kiss and thrust forward. She let out a small scream that was smothered by his lips and tears welled up in her eyes. He held perfectly still, though it took all of his self-control. He kissed the crystal teardrops that had escaped to roll down the sides of her face and whispered reassurances into her ear. When the pain faded from her eyes, he began to move gently, giving her time to adjust. He gritted his teeth in an effort to maintain control but it wasn't easy when she started to move to meet him.

"Oh, god...Riho..." he ground out as she wrapped her legs around his hips, bringing him deeper inside of her. Her head fell back and they were both breathing in shallow gasps. Unable to help himself, Shido began to move faster, feeling his orgasm building. It hit him violently, and he thrust deeply into her, flooding her with his seed. She let out a strangled scream, digging her fingernails into his upper arms and he realized that she had gone over the edge with him. Spent, he collapsed on top of her.

"Well that was appealing no?" he asked.

"It was incredible," she whispered.

He laughed as he kissed her forehead. "Let's get some rest, or we won't enjoy the rest of the night" he whispered into her ear.

"No satisfied?" she asked smiling.

"Never will be with you here nude in my arms" he said.

"Good I wouldn't want you to looking for a replacement" she said closing her eyes.

"I assure you that it will never happen," he said kissing her once more before closing his own eyes.

Guni smiled as she walked away from the door and towards her own with a smile that shined brighter then the sun. "I'm glad," she whispered. I will have to make breakfast extra romantic no?" she asked.

 

Cain sat and walked the night sky with a wine glass in hand filled with deep scarlet essence. He smiled a wry smile as he took a small sip. "How marvelous the world is, aspiration will make one disregard one's god," he said.

"The world is idiotic," stated the small voice from behind.

"Oh yes it is, but that is why we the great immortals rule the night when the world is immensely childish" he said looking at the form that stood in the shadows.

"But then you too are here for you own egotistical reason no?" asked Cain with a smile.

The laughter chilled the bones of surrounding creatures. "Egotistical? Maybe I am but I will not let a child who believes she understands desire seize the man I most desire."

Cain laughed as he came behind her and placed his lips on her neck. "I must say your eagerness makes my loins heat," he said.

She pulled away from him and pulled off her gown and took his hand to place on her breast. "Then you shall satisfy that heat in your loins will you not?" she asked.

He smirked and he pushed her against the wall and kissed her hard on the lips. It was certainly a good idea for him to seek out Lady Yayoi who was so willing to follow his plan on getting back what is rightfully his. Of course he had confessed that he has taken a liking to his next child's lover. He plotted the perfect plan and they had already fallen into his first plan.

"Ah" she moaned as she looked at his golden eyes.

His hands were touching his depth. "You have sinned greatly but that only make you more enticing," he said dropping his own pants.

She dropped to her knees and smiled up at him, "I believe that I have more to gain by sinning then being innocent and forgiving" she said as her took hold on his stiff manhood.

He smiled at her; his face almost represented something evil in the shadows of the night. He laughed what a selfish world, humans were so weak because of their emotions they would turn on their own kind for love, rivalry and of course greed. The downfall of the mortals.
