Chapter 4

He watched as Fay walked in and stood in the middle of the room a little awkward, a little hesitant, his attempt at haughtiness at the door a minute ago has completely gone.

“You wanted to talk?" Kurogane gazed at him with questioning eyes.

"No." Fay replied and looked at the floor.

Kurogane didn't reply and gently grasped Fay by the elbow, leading him to the huge bed and gestured for him to lay down before pulling the silken comforter around him. He ignored Fay's inquiring look and brushed at the locks of blond hair that tumbled about Fay's face, he could see the distraught and strain etched so clearly on his face and pushed down an overwhelming urge to wrap his arms around this fragile creature laying infront of him despite his anger at the way Fay had violated his body so easily. He knows Fay had put up a good fight in the courtroom and knows the emotional turmoil that must be tearing him apart from the inside, he understands when Fay says he can't be alone right now.

"Sleep, there's a lot of things that needs your attention tomorrow and don't try to hurt yourself again, you don't need to provide anymore gossips for the media to blab about." he said softly and gave Fay's hand an assuring squeeze to let him know he will be nearby. He got up and walked towards the couch when he felt a corner of his tee shirt being pulled at.

"Kurogane."

He was surprised by the correct pronounciation of his name and the way Fay had called out the name, pleading and sad and stood at a stand still, turning his head to look at Fay.

"Stay by me for a while...at least till I sleep.." Fay whispered so softly that Kurogane wondered if the request was spoken out at all, still he turned and threaded across to the other side of the bed and lay down with his arm under his head, propping it up.

Fay sigh inwardly and was grateful that Kurogane didn't refused his request. He needed his presence, strong and calm to soothe his frazzled nerves, he needed his warmth to ward off the cold that was waiting by the fringes of his heart, waiting to entomb it in ice. Fay didn't want that. He may be hurt and used, betrayed and distrusting, confused and conflicted but he would never want to feel numb, he didn't want to be the corpse he was so close to turning into. He turned onto his side with his back towards Kurogane, took a deep breathe, close his eyes and waited for sleep to claim him.

For the first time in a long while, sleep came easy for Fay and for the first time in a long while, he did not have any nightmares.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kurogane woke up to the rays of sunlight floating into the room and could hear the hussle and bustle going on around the house, which meant it was still early. Normally, when he woke up the maids would have all but gone to god knows where and there would only be Doumaki, Fay and himself till breakfast that is, when Syaoran would arrived on the dot for Fay's daily once over regarding his schedule for the day. He threw a glance at the other side of the bed and found that somehow through the night Fay had shifted halfway down the bed, turned onto his stomach and had curled his body right beside Kurogane. He watched the blond deep in sleep and found himself savoring the sight of that innocent, peaceful and open look Fay has while he was asleep, it was so different from the Fay during the day, who when awoke would wear an empty smile with his pain worn on his sleeve for all to see. Slowly, he let his thoughts wandered back to last Saturday night and felt a faint stirring of lust as he remembered the way Fay looked when he had sucked on that finger, if it weren't for the circumstances they were in he would have started what they left off that night. The blond is always too dangerously close, it was a miracle that he was able to show such self-control.

Fay stirred and slowly blinked his eyes open, taking in his surroundings groggily before remembering he was sleeping in Kurogane's bed. He felt rested, it has been a long time since he had a good sleep. Ever since his parent's death, he has been plagued by nightmares most of the nights. He lifted his head up and saw Kurogane's eyes staring intently at him and caught the lust reflected in his eyes and felt a slow rise of a blush tinging his cheeks.

"Morning, Kuro - sama." Fay greeted, his morning voice still raspy and he cough softly to clear his throat. Kurogane didn't return his greeting, he just continued looking at him with those burning red eyes. He wondered how long has Kurogane been awake, how long has he been staring at him. He slide himself up into a sitting position still feeling that heated gaze on him and shivered slightly, he turned his head away from Kurogane trying to avoid his gaze.

"Stop it."

Still Kurogane didn't answer, sporting a hint of a smirk, he just swang his legs to the side of the bed, stood up and walked to the adjoining bathroom. Fay listened to the routine of Kurogane cleaning himself, the running water from the tap filling the bath tub, the swishing sound of the shaving foam being rubbed on his chin, the dull rustling of blade against skin and the mundane bristling of the toothbrush against teeth. He wondered again as to why he was still on this bed and not going back to his own room, yet it seemed so right to be here, a strange familiarity that Kurogane made him feel, even though they have only known each other for 3 weeks or more.

He was about to get off the bed when Kurogane stepped out of the bathroom and what he saw made him stop breathing, if a fully clothed Kurogane was heart stopping, a almost naked Kurogane is most certainly deadly. His hair was still damp with a few bangs plastered onto his forehead and some of it still remained stubbornly spiky, his face free of stubbles showing off a well chiseled chin line, and well defined body with the luxurious cotton towel tied loosely around his waist and Fay saw the tattoo at the side of his stomach for the first time, a katana smoldering in flames starting from the left of his chest and down to his hip bone, beautifully blending in with the firm muscles on his abs. Fay would find it cliche if it was someone else but Kurogane really looks like a greek god with that body and sun drenched skin or better still the devil himself that had come upon this earth just to seduce him into sin. He was really having great difficulty tearing his eyes away from the vision infront of him.

Kurogane saunter deliberately towards Fay, secretly enjoying how he always seemed to hold Fay's attention like this. He lowered down his body and lean in towards him, his arms supporting his weight and drew his face close to Fay's, watching his eyes widen and lean back, the state of his lower body was not lost to Kurogane. He stood there for a while letting his closenes tease Fay, watching him flush a deeper shade of red before he whispered into his ear that it was his turn to use the bathroom. Fay had to blink a few times to shake himself out of his haze before he slide underneath of Kurogane since he refused to remove his arms from his side.

Fay hurried to the bathroom and slide the door closed behind him, he breathing was erratic and short and he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He stumbled to the sink on unsteady legs and caught his reflection in the mirror, his face has totally betrayed his state of arousal that Kurogane had caused and he hoped it was't too obvious to him. He turned and faced the bathtub and found the bath was already filled and soaped, he smiled at Kurogane's consideration as he divested himself, the process slowed down by his bandage hand and lowered himself gingerly into the warm soothing water. He was in for less than 15 minutes before he heard the knock...

"Keep soaking and you're going to turn into a prune..." the voice deep and teasing through the translucent glass door, Fay smiled and pulled himself out of the now cooling water grabbing the bathrobe that Kurogane has choosed not to use and wrapped it around his body before he opened the door.

"Your clothes." Kurogane said as he trust the pile of clothing into Fay's arms, he noticed that Kurogane was still only wrapped in that towel "I'm taking you out today, you need some fresh air."

"I've to be at the office today...I can't let them have their way."

"They can wait."

"Can't you at least put on some clothes first?"

Fay whispered breathily as his hand reached out unconsciously and laid itself on Kurogane's chest loving the feel of his firm flesh and taut skin and let his fingers trailed along the blade of the katana feeling the slight bulge of muscles tensed. Somehow that touch made whatever Kurogane was trying to hold back snapped and with a groan he grabbed Fay's hand that was on his chest and with his other pulled Fay by his delicate chin in before capturing his lips in a rough and searing kiss as he nipped and licked at Fay's lips before pushing his tongue in when Fay emitted a gasp. Fay didn't fight it and responded by submitting to Kurogane's dominance over his tongue enjoying the minty taste lingering in his mouth. He let the clothes dropped from his other hand and reached up to twine his fingers in soft spiky hair now completely dried and pushed his body hard up against Kurogane's, moaning at how good the hardness of his flesh feels and Fay couldn't help but sneak a smile when he felt Kurogane's arousal hard against his stomach.

Kurogane made a low sensual rumbling voice in his throat as he broke the kiss, he was breathing heavily as he pushed Fay into the bathroom against the grand marble dressing counter and slip the bathrobe off Fay's shoulder before lowering his mouth to his neck, not kissing it but just letting it linger close, his breath ghosting across Fay's milky skin.

"You . test . my . limits" he whispered each word out between soft kisses on Fay's neck and let his hands travel down to his chest as his thumbs rubbed softly at Fay's nipples, Fay whimpered and shivered beneath him from those near phantom touches. His lips travelled down to Fay's collarbone and he sucked gently at the skin and laved his tongue across the slender jut of the bone and Fay arched his neck to allow him more access as hands flew up and grabbed hard at his biceps, fingernails digging into skin.

"Kuro..gane..." Fay gasped out weakly, his legs losing their strength rapidly due to Kurogane's slow and teasing administrations, though every touch was gently and light he had the feeling that Kurogane was trying to rein in his passion. He could feel the warmth and ache slowing pooling in his groin, suddenly he felt very impatience with the existence of the towel which was still hanging at Kurogane's waist so he reached down and gave a hard tug at the loose knots and almost sigh with relief as he heard the rustling of cotton dropping to the floor. Kurogane gave a low growl of approval and returned the favor to Fay by pushing the fabric down and watch it slipped down his body.

Kurogane just had to stop and stare because Fay was glorious in his naked form, he had to ask himself again why was the man so damn beautiful? He let his lust hooded gaze travel down and took in the slender form infront of him and the throbbing sex between his thighs, erect and hard, dripping with cum, even his cock was shaped beautifully, carved slightly upwards and slender. He couldn't help himself as he reach downwards and wrapped his fingers around it rubbing along the length once before bringing his fingers to his mouth sucking off the cum that was smeared on his fingers, savoring the light salty taste of it. He could hear Fay's soft pants and could see his throughly flushed face as he watched him lick his cum off, fingers gripping tightly onto the counter behind his back trying to hold himself upright and Fay moan loudly as Kurogane leaned in to kiss him a little harder this time and arched his back when he felt Kurogane grind his hips onto him rubbing their sex together.

It was too much to bear and Fay bucked his hips against Kurogane's, a silent request for Kurogane to cut the foreplay and get to the action. He twisted around breaking their kiss and reached for the glass cabinet at the corner looking for the tube of petroleum that had to be there, finally he found it hidden behind a bottle of cough syrup. Hastily he trusted the tube into Kurogane's hands but Kurogane only smirk and place the tube on the counter, Fay was about to say something when Kurogane lifted him up onto the counter and he flinched at the coolness against his bare ass.

"It's cold, Kurogane...and sto..."

"Hn" Kurogane grunted with a smirk again, loving the way at how Fay moan out his name before he knelt down and took Fay's length into his mouth, cutting off Fay's words only to hear it replace with a lusty shuddering moan.

Fay threw his head back as he arched sharply, the pleasure jolted through him like electricity and the heat from that moist cavern was too much, it was cutting off his ability to think and he sucked in another breath as Kurogane slide his tongue over his slit.

"nnfff...Kuro...pleease..." Fay writhe and ran his fingers through Kurogane's hair "ohh...hnnnn..." he moaned again as Kurogane picked up his pace and Fay bucked as the heat started pooling up again, he could feel himself coming, he was so close when Kurogane pulled away. Frustrated at not being given what he so obviously wanted, he gave a growl. Only from him it didn't sound like one at all, instead it sounds more like an angry mewling sound, which Kurogane heard and look at him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Did I mentioned how adorable and sexy you are like that?" said Kurogane as he lifted Fay off the counter as if he weigh nothing at all, grabbing the tube of lube at the same, strode out to the bedroom and deposited Fay gently on the bed. He followed after Fay, his limbs moving forward with the deadly grace of a leopard hunting down it's pray and braced himself on his elbows placed beside both sides of Fay's head and he stared down at those icy blues that had turned a darker shade for the want of him.

He lean in to kiss Fay again before spreading a generous amount of lube on his fingers and reached down between the legs that was already spread wide for him searching for that entrance that would provide their pleasure and he heard Fay gasped and throw his head back against the mattress arching his back slightly when he probed a slick cool finger into it slowly. He moved his middle finger in and out and rubbed at the nub which he hope was Fay's sweet spot and watched Fay thrash his head about, biting his lower lip trying hard to prevent his cries of pleasure from bursting out and when he stuck his index finger in Fay's hands involuntarily reach for those silken sheets, gripping them so hard that he ripped a few threads out with his nails and Kurogane so nearly lost himself at Fay's sensitivity. Quickly, he slipped his fingers out of Fay and smeared some lube on his throbbing sex, red and raw with the need to plunge itself into the warm, tight crevice that was waiting for him.

"Touch me" he ordered with a husky voice and felt Fay's cool fingers wrapped around him hesitantly.

Fay slowly explored the length of Kurogane's cock and was mesmerised by the size of it, it wasn't montrously huge but he noticed his fingers could barely close around that thick length and suddenly feel apprehensive about Kurogane entering him but he wants Kurogane very badly to fill the void his fingers left and starting stroking it, gaining speed and he watched as Kurogane shut his eyes and his jawline went taut as his breathing grew rapid as well. He wondered if Kurogane was going to come when one hand clamp onto his wrist and crimson eyes opened burning into him.

"Do you want it..Fay?"

Fay didn't speak, just barely nodded his head with quiet acquiescence and he shudder again when he felt Kurogane's hardness at his opening, taking a deep breath he tried to relax himself when he felt Kurogane push in and screamed when Kurogane entered in one hard trust and buried himself in his tightness right to the hilt.

He had wanted to go slow but it was too much and he couldn't help himself when he felt Fay's tightness but he instantly regretted it when he heard Fay cried and saw his tears dropped from the corner of his eyes.

"Sorry..." he whispered as he held Fay's head into the crook of his arm, kissing his apologies onto his forehead now glistening with sweat. God...he really screwed up now...

Fay sniffed his nose and rubbed it along the soft skin on the inside of Kurogane's arm and waited for the pain to subside as he felt soft kisses land on his forehead, he had panicked when Kurogane shoved himself in, it just reminds him of Ashura's rough and cruel entrance everytime they had sex but when Kurogane stopped and treated him with such gentleness he knows that Kurogane will never be that kind of man, will never delibrately hurt him. As he felt the pain slipped away, he started to move his hips signalling to Kurogane that it was alright, nothing was wrong.

"Fay..." Kurogane groaned and pressed his hips against Fay's as Fay looked up at him,

"It's ok...you're not him.."

Kurogane seems to understand and started to move and as the soreness wane, pleasure took over again and it's cresendo widening it's circumference, enveloping both man in the heat of their desire and their strive to reach the pinnacle of estacy. Fay's cries of pleasure grew louder with each hard trust from Kurogane, their sweat covered skin glided easily over each other and the sight of tan skin against milky pale provided the visual that added to Kurogane's gratification.

Fay felt the burning sensation and dull ache that was his sex echoing it's need for release and reached down to stroke himself and wrapped his legs higher around Kurogane's waist, arching his back somemore to provide Kurogane with the right leverage to reach and rub against his sweet spot, it was almost too much to bear, Fay had never felt so filled, never felt so claimed before. He gave another shuddering moan when Kurogane took over his hand on his cock to stroke him, matching his pace with his trusts.

"Cumming...Kur..."

He could barely finished his sentence when he exploded with the most intense orgasm he has ever had, spurting lines of hot semen across his stomach, his sight turning white and his whole body jolted with pleasure that overcame him in waves. Kurogane came shortly after him letting out a low animalistic moan as he called out Fay's name and trust in one last time as his hot liquid pooled deep inside of Fay before collapsing on him, panting harshly. Their heartbeat thundered in each others ears and Fay's limbs going numb as he felt a fuzziness soothe him, calming his harsh breathing.

They lay together for sometime reluctant to leave the warmth of each other's bodies until they could no longer ignored the stickiness between them and Kurogane pulled out of Fay slowly and watched his essence seeped out of Fay, dribbleling down his inner thighs and felt relieved that there was only the slightest hint of pink mixed in it.

"Kuro - sama..."

"Hn...?" Kurogane couldn't form an coherent answer, still enjoying the post orgasmic bliss flowing through him.

"You're amazing..." Fay whispered close to his ears and to his surprise noticed Kurogane blush beneath his tan, which was mightily adorable considering what they just did and he couldn't help but to tease the man a little.

"Did I mentioned how adorable and sexy you are when you blush like that, Kuro - rin?" repeating the words that the man himself had just used earlier on in the bathroom and watch the blush spread down to his neck. Kurogane was really a SNAG underneath all that musculine and rough exterior and Fay chuckled at this newly discovered fact.

To which Kurogane only muttered a soft curse and granted one of his deadliest glare to Fay before heaving off the bed and threw the pile of clothes scattered around on the floor at Fay growling that they still have a short trip to make because he was bringing them out...remember?
