oversized cloths from a pile, they quickly wrapped the soft material around themselves.
"Itâs time to eat." Hiraru yelled over his shoulder as he grabbed Hirokiâs hand and the small twins skipped from the room.
Kyoko stood in the water in shock as she felt little needles of fear start to climb her back and she squeezed her eyes shut, a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. Somewhere she knew the gods were laughing at her.
She should have known better than to just follow the children here without asking questions. Kyoko started for the side of the spring hoping to make it back to her room before âMr. Double personalityâ noticed her gone. She needed to hurry, her fragile âsecurity blanketsâ were gone and she was unprotected.
As she stepped from the water and started for the huge towels, she heard a low growl directly behind her. The next thing she knew⦠hands from nowhere wrapped around her naked ribs and she was pulled back against a silk covered chest as her feet left the floor.
Kyoko instantly looked up to see Kyouâs face. Instead of the anger she had expected to see, his face was calm⦠almost too calm. She looked down at the floor watching it get further away from them. Yep, the gods were having an all-out laugh fest over this one.
Her lips parted as she glanced back up seeing he was taking her to a balcony. He didnât even land but glided in through the opened doors and back to the room she had started out in. He finally stopped once they were over the huge pillow she had woken up on.
Kyoko waited to be dropped but he did not release her, nor was he hurting her by holding her too tight. She noticed his hands were soft as they touched her bare skin. Kyokoâs eyes widened. Her bare skin! Oh⦠how could she have forgotten so quickly? She was still naked from bathing.
Her arms instantly crossed over her chest self protectively and she felt all her muscles tense up, waiting as he held her as if undecided on what to do with her. She could give him a big fat hint if he wanted and that would be to PUT HER THE HELL DOWN!
Kyouâs eyes almost slid shut as he felt her softly rounded curves pressed against him creating havoc on his senses. He noticed when she tensed up and it brought his mind back for a moment... But still he did not release her. He had always prided himself on control and here would be a good chance to test his control of her and teach her another lesson at the same time.
"Did I give you permission to leave this room?" His voice was cold and unyielding.
Kyokoâs eyes widened as her heartbeat thumped in her chest, kicking against her ribs so hard she knew he could feel it. Thinking quickly, âwhat would be the best answer?â she said in a small voice, "I donât know the rules." She cringed knowing that playing dumb would be the best option at the moment.
She knew for a fact that right now was not the time to fight for her rights because of her lack of clothing. It wasnât that she would win if she tried. She just wanted down and him gone so she added in a soft frightened voice, "Iâm sorry.â
When he heard her soft sweet voice, it engulfed him, making him inhale as sensations pooled in his nether regions. This would be dangerous if he pushed the test too far. He felt the rage of her disobedience leave him but the rage of his want remained tenfold.
"The first rule is you never go anywhere without my permission unless you want to be punished," His voice softened to take the sting from his words, but still he felt her flinch.
Kyoko's throat went dry. "Punished?" She didnât mean to whisper the word. It just slipped out and she felt her heart start to flutter in fear. She instantly deleted the picture of Kyou spanking her from her deranged mind not wanting to even know where the insane flash had come from.
"Yes, I will punish you." The palm of Kyouâs hand caressed her flat stomach and slowly made its way down as his knee came up on the inside of her thigh to spread her legs. In a movement to fast for her to try and deflect⦠the palm of his hand cupped her womanhood as his powerful blood tried to take over.
"Like this,â His fingers massaged her bundle of nerves right above her entrance and the shock of it had her instantly arching away from him, with a soft cry she bucked against him trying to evade his hand.
The sensual movement was almost his undoing and he hissed in her ear. "If you do not stay still⦠I will have to punish you more." He could feel himself growing hard and was relieved when she strained away from him but stayed still, her fear of what he would do keeping her from fighting him.
Kyokoâs eyes closed. She thought he had meant to hurt her when he said punished but this was almost as bad. Did he not realize he was more disturbed than Hyakuhei? This made her lose control of her body and took her will from her as all her heat pooled to where his fingers were working their magic. She didnât want this regardless of how her body reacted but couldnât help her reactions to it.
He was still holding her in midair with her back pressed against him and his fingers were working back and forth, stimulating her so much that she almost wished he would have spanked her instead because this was creating a different kind of pain⦠delicious pain that gnawed hungrily at her. She gasped and a moan slipped out as his fingers slid between her lips to push one up inside her.
She groaned when he slid it in only to take it back out again. She felt the liquid heat pool around his finger as he thrust it back inside her tightness making her cry out. Her eyes started burning with the familiar sting of tears but she held them back. In the back of her mind she was screaming at herself to stop acting like she was enjoying Kyouâs punishment even though she was.
The scream became louder and finally she couldnât ignore it anymore. "Please, please stop, I canât take it anymore."
Kyou listened to her cry and he knew she was in pain with need of release. Her virgin body, so new to this pleasure, it wouldnât take much more to bring her over the peak. He watched her head arch back against him as he pumped his finger into her hot tightness in rhythm.
He leaned his head forward and licked the arc of her neck⦠tasting her. He felt the rush of the instinct to bite her and make her his forever. He satisfied that feeling for a moment by sucking some of her soft skin into his mouth to leave a slight red mark on her. She tasted so good. He could smell her scent all around him as he pressed his swollen hardness against her soft thigh.
Kyou growled in defeat⦠He knew he was the one losing this battle.
Kyoko felt his hand leave her and she slid down his body to the pillow below. She was still whimpering and squeezed her thighs together trying not to rock. Her senses were so alive that it was almost painful. She grabbed one of the smaller pillows and hugged it close, trying to hide her body from him. She was afraid to look up at him. Afraid he would be able to see the need her body was crying for.
Burying her face in her arms, she rolled so she was lying half on her stomach as though to hide from him further.
He watched her try to hide from him and the loss of her in his arms was cooling his raging blood. He realized he had no control over this and remembered what had been written within his fatherâs scrolls.
Tadamichi had warned that guardians were different from humans when it came to choosing a mate⦠that the guardianâs highborn blood would do the choosing and there would be no stopping it. His father, Tadamichi, had been talking about his and Hyakuheiâs rivalry over the same mate at the time but Kyou had understood the underlying meaning. The warning pertained to every guardian⦠not just the twins.
That had been the last scroll written by his father but the humans trapped within this realm had continued the story.
His uncle had turned to the dark side because he had been separated from the one whom heaven had fated to be his soul mate. The young Priestess the maiden statue had been made in the likeness of⦠the same maiden statue that mimicked the priestess lying below him at this very moment. They could have very well been the same woman⦠but time proved they were not.
They
