Awake in his arms

Ch: 3 new talent



Saya sat on a cushioned chair in the middle of the room brushing her hair out of her face flustered slightly with annoyance as the cool breeze turned her pages every time she set a mark.



Haji’s eyes opened with a need to sooth her from her aggravation in her work. He chuckled standing up to inspect her work.



“Saya, why do you insist on keeping the windows open if they just upset you more?” he took the pad out of her hand.



Her warmth had seeped in to the stark white paper along with the vibrant colors of his napping bliss.



“Saya I am unable see how you can be displeased by this work it is phenomenal, if not to brag. Nonetheless I do believe you may have exaggerated a bit.” He teased in a mock frown.



“If anything it is an understatement, you have always been to humble, love. The pure irony of your definition does suit your character though your stance says otherwise.”



She smiled basking her view in his grandeur. “in any case my queen is an extremely talented artist. You may rival my own. Should I purchase a fresh marble block when we next go out, as for you to begin in a new medium?”



he bent to kiss her hand but she turned his face to meet hers.



“Haji I want not to challenge you in this sense of art, nor battle in any way, but to strengthen our bond for all eternity would please me more than anything.”



Her hands traced the outlines of his masculine form raining butterfly kisses atop his searing skin.



“Haji, you’re on fire.”



She jumped on him her face above his; he cradled her rear, as he carried her side saddle in to the living room twirling her as he mad his way in between the couch, table, and other various furniture pieces.



“Haji, will you teach me your Romani ways of song and dance?” he smiled to her as he set her on a large sofa.



She smiled her eyes watching him both with love and curiosity as she lay stretched out over the cushioned material.



His fluid motions molded impeccably with his unique call to form a past that even Saya knew only a little of. Turning round to meet her full over the sofa he held his hand out to her.



he pulled her off of the sofa and pressed her body against him as he moved even more fluidly than before.



“as always I am able to lead my queen well.” She kissed him as they moved. “Remember when you taught me to waltz?”



“Solomon gratified himself with the ability to lead me well, however you have always been far ahead of him in skill. This Romani dance would be utterly impossible if you were not here and the fact that you are makes me feel as if we have been dancing like this for almost two centuries.”



“But we have, my love.” She gave him a questioning look,



“training and our past battles are very closely oriented towards the art of dance.” “I have to say that I enjoy this much better.”



“as do I” he carried her in to their bedroom setting her on a chair in front of a vanity. He pulled out a long rectangular box and handed it to her.



“Haji!” she gasped as she unveiled a amethyst double point on a platinum cord. He placed it around her neck.



“You always did seem to have affection for February. And this..”



he handed her a familiar decorative comb on top tied with a thin silk string was a deep blue sapphire surrounded by diamonds on a curved platinum band.



He kneeled kissing her hand. “Saya will you be my bride?” she lowered herself to meet his gaze, pressing her lips against his.



“Of course, my love. but how I thought..” tears came to her eyes but he quickly wiped them away with his tender caresses.



“I knew how much you treasured my first gift to you, so I repaired it and kept it safe until the day when you would treasure your long beautiful hair.”



“you saved for years just to buy this comb. I’m so sorry I .. Haji..” “Saya it’s all right. I understand.” he soothed.



“and, Joel?” she turned the ring n the light watching it sparkle. “somewhat, I had been drawing gift designs for you. Joel became quite fascinated with this one as I drew it relentlessly. He finally took the design to a jeweler. I have mainly worked with steel precious metals though I have grown accustom to though.”



He untied the string and slid it on to her long slender finger. She kissed him once more adjusting to the metal against her smooth fingers.



“The night before the fire, I went on a walk with Joel where he asked of me if I would propose at his birthday party the following day but of course there was conflict. He told me that he had always known of our love and that he had chosen well. He knew because unlike most I care for you more deeply than any can even imagine; That loving devotion prevented me, much to amshel’s dismay, to have taken you for my own many many years ago. For Joel wanted not of a mate but a life partner a caretaker after he had passed I was to be just that. to tell you the truth in my opinion I do not even think that he would mind if we never even attempted to conceive as long as I would willingly protect you for the rest of my life, even though he had the mind for us to do so.”



He kissed her neck briefly.



“Haji thank you so much for all that you are, I love you so much. Now please my love show me how our love has grown.” He smiled and hummed to her in a deep, soothing and yet exciting unlocking the passion gates within her. He carried her to their bed kissing her neckline as she giggled under him. He growled deeply as he removed her robe. She untied his marveling at his treasured awakening.



“Haji, you never cease to amaze Me.” she moaned as she ran her hands along his manhood watching his face contort in pleasure. “Saya” he growled as she giggled giving his lips a brief peck before running his kisses to her jewel his mouth surrounding her nub.



She gasped as he ran his fangs over her sending a wave of pleasure pumping through he veins.



“Haji you’re so bad.. Ohh but so.. so good.” She moaned.



He essence filled his every sense. He took in her aroma, he flavor igniting his passion. The deep vibrations from his call echoed through her releasing her own positioning himself at her opening he filled her more deeply.



His hair danced upon her centers as his lips massaged her creamy skin, butterfly kisses, rained upon her as they followed a rythym known only to themselves until they finally collapsed, laying, holding, one another wrapped in each other’s limbs their presence surrounding them.



“My love, you have been quite eager to completely drain me. is this caused by a sense for past time lost, a hurry during the short amount of time we have before your sleep, a pure longing for pleasure bestowed, or do you just find pleasure in seeing me completely and thoroughly exhausted?”



“Probably a mixture, Haji, I miss the times when we would sleep together.” She placed a gentle hand over his cheek and kissed him.



“Running around the zoo all day every day with lessons and such, oh Haji now that was exhausting. We were so tired, some nights I thought I would have to carry you. You know Haji you are so marvelously hansom in slumber.”



She snuggled deep in to his chest. “Saya what would you say to a late night movie before bed?”



she smiled joyfully kissing him in agreement as he carried her to the couch wrapping her in a blanket before dressing and heading off towards the kitchen. “Oh Haji you know me too well.”



“No movie can be adequate enough for my queen with out..” “Sack-ums!” she burst out raising from the couch for a brief moment before plopping back down humming.



“Yes I guess you could put it that way.” He chuckled to himself. He placed a pan on the stove pouring cornels and a small amount of oil. He glided about the room for a few minutes before he came to her with several trays of food which he laid on and around the coffee table. As soon as he finished carefully placing the food, she tackled him in an embracing hug.



“And what movie are we to watch tonight?”



he handed her the case to Arthur Golden’s Memoirs of a Geisha. “Perfect as always, my love.”



She snuggled close to him laying her head in his lap as the movie started. She held a plate quickly inhaling the constant stream of food to her mouth.



Every once and a while she would raise her hand to his face supplying him with a occasional burst of flavor not to overwhelm his opposing stomach. “Haji this is divine!” she pressed a piece of blackberry cheese cake to his lips which he gratefully took sucking her fingers clean of the cream and fruit.



His lips traveled over her hand and arm until he reached her lips kissing her deeply before parting allowing her to finish her meal. “Haji, you know, I can’t believe this story was written by a guy.



I mean the movie I can see some what but the book. Just the way it reads. He must have busted his butt for years to be able to write so convincingly.” She mumbled continuing to shove food in her mouth.



He wrapped his arms around her thin waist pulling her closer. “Haji just a minute I’m almost done.”



She rapidly shoved food in to her mouth as she felt his hardness against her middle. “Hajj,” she purred as he rained kisses on her neck and shoulder.



“Hajji calm down a bit your enflamed.” He tensed writhing and growling under his strained erection, his claw breaking out to rip the threads.



“Haji release.” She commanded as his fangs sank in to her slightly tanned neck. His body relaxed against hers sinking deeply in to her pooling hair breathing in her sent.



“Now my love isn’t that better?” she kissed his cheek as she unbuttoned his shirt pulling down his dark pants.



Her hands roamed over his form hugging him and holding him close. “Haji you really should take better care of yourself.”



She caressed the apex of his measure with her thumb and forefinger as he squirmed under his internal conflict.



“Here let me help you with that.” She cooed kissing him in a tenderly stroking him in a gentle manner until he collapsed over her with a soft moan.



“Saya, Arigatou goza masu.” He breathed deeply his eyes closed in exhaustion. His eyes shot open turning his gaze to meet hers.



“My queen, my love, is there any wish that I may now fulfill for you at this time?” she chuckled as he lost his composure.



“Finish watching the movie with me and carry me to bed if I fall asleep before it’s over.” She caught him in a tight embrace.



“You have already done so much for me. I love you so much.” She kissed him her hands roaming over his lean yet muscular form purring seductively.



“Saya,” he wined. “I’m sorry Haji but lately I just can’t seem to keep my hands off of you even for a moment. We’ve both bottled up our emotions for such a long time. Please let me play with you for a little longer.”



He smiled as she ran her fingers through his sable locks kissing him deeply. “If that will please my queen then I object not.” He smiled with a slight chuckle.



She wrapped her hands over his running them over her thighs and over her thin middle to cup her breasts.



“Haji, your hands are so smooth.” She kissed each of his long slender fingers sucking on them gently.



“Haji you were born to play the cello. Of course with your perfect hands you could make just about any instrument sing beautifully.”



She fawned over him further kissing him repetitively as they finished watching the movie.



Haji carried her in to their bedroom laying her between the sheets. She held him as he made to leave. “Haji don’t go.”



He smiled lovingly kissing her forehead lightly then rising again. “Saya, I must, I will return shortly, but I can’t just allow our home to turn to shambles now can I?”



she sat dumbfounded as her tight grasp loosened permitting him to break out and finish his nightly tasks. She flopped back down on the plush fabric.



‘Haji, ‘our home’ you say. Everything around me here is beautiful, me and you made by you and your amazing skill yet is still filled with near obsessive sadness towards what we are. I guess I see it this way because he has no one who can spend all eternity with while I sleep. Last time the twins were too young to hold a descent conversation until I was halfway through my sleep. But next time won’t be too bad because I will know that Riku will be there to keep him company and I’ll know that everyone will be safe. I only hope that he will be able to handle the emotions of his horrible death. Haji will always be with him.’



She was so caught in her daze that she didn’t realize his return until he had already slipped in to bed with her and had wrapped his arms around her waist. “Sa-ya.” He wined kissing her neckline.



“Mm Haji!” she giggled as she pulled him on top of her gasping as he entered her full force.



“feeling empowered after a few minuets of hard labor my love.” He chuckled nuzzling her neck.



“cleanliness is the closest thing to Godliness.” “mm can’t argue with that.”



she held his rear pulling him farther in to her as she tightened around him in torment. “My love finds such pleasure in teasing her most faithful servants.”



“Haji you know I would tease you even if you were born to the highest class of nobles. Teasing you is just too much fun to pass up. Fraternizing with my servant and my Chevalier is unwritten-ly forbidden. But my love I just can’t stay away from our forbidden passion”



She arced sharply to send him off with a burst of unsuspecting pleasure. “Haji” she cooed as he shifted his weight after collapsing over her panting.



“Hajj it really doesn’t take much to make you happy.” He rolled over to set her above him.



“These past few days have been unbelievably magnificent, completely breathtaking. Not only are you awake in peace, but more loving and truly generous than I have ever known you to be. With hope for Riku’s return life finally seems to be taking a turn for the better. And I couldn’t be happier.”



She thrust down grinding her hips in to his crying in delighted pleasure as she overflowed with their zeal.



She fell over him holding his face in her hands pressing his lips to her erect nipples. “Just a bit more Haji just a bit more.”



she felt his fangs elongate and strain against her supple breast before his tension finally took over sinking them deeply her crimson river pouring out for his taking.



She moaned as the feeling of his hot mouth over her bosom drinking her blood for sustenance drove her over the edge. Her fingers threaded through his hair pressing his fangs more deeply in to her.

“Haji my love just a little more and then I want you again.”



He neatly cleaned her wound allowing it to heal before rising and taking a stern look to her.



“Saya you must sleep now.” she reached up to kiss him caressing the tender skin behind his ears.



“mm but I want you to play with some more.” she wined running her hands over his inner thighs but he brushed her hands away rising to leave.



“Haji don’t leave.” He shook his head tucking the covers in and downing a pair of slacks.



“I see that I am too much of a distraction.” He chuckled as he diapered in to the doorway. “Haji!” she called to him.



she though about getting out of bed to follow him but she thought better of it. He could have just gone in to town if she tried to follow him and he was right she did need to sleep.



Disgruntled she buried her self in the cushy covers writhing to try to get comfortable though more because she was irritated for the bed felt like heaven. ‘Damn it Haji, making this bed too comfortable. It just makes me want him more. Maybe he wants to watch me to sleep all day. Anyway it’s still too comfortable.’ She tossed around grumbling until she felt his presence enter the room again.



He sat beside her holding his cello beginning to play she embraced him kissing his neck before laying back on the bed running her hand along his thigh as the music lulled her to sleep.
