"Kaname, stop this!" I told him, I was already out of breath from trying to evade him. "We just ate, this is bad for our appendix!"

"No," he shook his head. "You started this but I'm ending it."

"Ugh," it was pointless trying to reason with him. He stepped to his right so I ran to my own right. He almost caught me but thankfully I successfully slipped away.

"Hina, let's make a deal," he wasn't in the least bit out of breath. "If I catch you after a maximum of three more attempts, you will have no say whatsoever with what I'll do to you…"

"And if you don't and I still manage to escape?"

"It's your call, my love. We'll do whatever you want."

"Why do I feel like I've already lost when you haven't even made a move yet?" I asked suspiciously.

"Because you know you can't win against me in this little game of ours?"

As soon as he finished, he lunged forward with his arms outstretched and ready to catch me. I let out a shriek and ran away to the bathroom as fast as I could. I groaned when the shoji wouldn't open. This was clearly a very wrong move! Did he do something to the door? Impossible! It slid open and close without a hitch earlier!

"Anata…" I turned to face him cautiously.

"Tsuma," he mimicked the tone of warning I used.

"You won't let me go, would you?" I peered at him.

"Never," he was in cunning spider mode. "Why not just surrender? I promised I'll be gentle, didn't I?"

I scrunched up my nose and stuck my tongue out at him like a kid. Actually, I wasn't opposed to making love to him again it's just that our last time was barely an hour ago! I mean, can't we rest a while and—

My train of thought was disturbed because he shot forward like an arrow. I only managed to take one step when he caught me by the waist. I squealed and tried to wriggle out of his embrace but he tightened his hold on me.

"I won," he said before effortlessly carrying me over his shoulder like I was a sack of potatoes.

"Ahh…" I squirmed beneath Kaname as he sucked and squeezed my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. I was sprawled across the futon with the front of my robe open while he was completely naked on top of me.

"Hmm… They have indeed gotten bigger," he remarked before running his tongue on one stiff nipple. "But I like them even more now."

I moaned and arched my back.

"You're not fat, Hina," he said while kissing my collarbone. "You may eat all the food you want; I'll a.s.sist you in your daily exercise, I promise."

Without warning, he flipped me over so my back was to him. He removed my robe and parted my hair to rain kisses on my back down to my tailbone.

"Go on all fours," he whispered. "Then part your legs a bit."

I obliged. He positioned himself behind me, his erect and proud member brushed against the apex of my thighs as he did so. I was expecting him to enter me in this position but he didn't. Instead, he began fingering me. He started with two digits, then he inserted another one. He played with me until both my arms and legs were weak.

"Anata…." I moaned and threw my head back. "I'm close…"

"I know," he whispered to my ear. "Your insides are telling me."

"I want you now," I begged. "Please…"

"I'm the one making the rules, remember?" he said as he continued to tease me with his skillful fingers.

My knees and arms started to buckle as my o.r.g.a.s.m threatened to explode. I squeezed my eyes close and clamped my mouth shut as I braced myself for what was about to happen. I whimpered, the feeling was overwhelming. I was about to burst, my nerves were close to combusting.

Kaname must have took pity on me because he swiftly removed his fingers to replace them with his manhood. I gasped as his fullness stretched me, he didn't even have to make thrusting movements because just being inside me was enough to make me convulse around him! As always, my earthshattering contractions didn't stop him from finding his own release. He grabbed my hips and pumped away.

"Cross one of your calves over the other," he paused for a bit as I shakily complied. When he began moving again, I understood why he made me do what I just did. It made me 'tighter,' increasing the pleasure he was feeling around his shaft.

Kaname moaned and called my name several times while I focused on how good I was equally feeling. When he leaned forward to cup my b.r.e.a.s.t.s, I felt the beginnings of another quickening in my belly!

"Kaname," I whimpered. "Ahh…"

"Let's come together, Hina," he said through gritted teeth. He was almost there as well.

"I don't think I can take any more," my voice sounded as s.e.xually 'drunk' as I was feeling.

"Come on," he urged while thrusting deeper into me, I felt his s.c.r.o.t.u.m slap against my tender flesh. "Just one more."

After three more shoves, we were both racked by paroxysmal excitement.

Kaname continued to take advantage of his 'victory' for the next few days. We rarely went out of our room, it felt like we were on our honeymoon. We did it so many times I lost count; his desire for me was so strong, it gave the word 'ravenous' a whole new meaning.

Just when I thought we'd done it all, he surprised me on New Year's eve. His stamina that night was beyond words. It was the dead of winter but our bodies were drenched in sweat.

"Haa!" he exclaimed before rolling off me. We were both panting and satiated.

Not minding how sweaty we were, I rested my head on his chest.

"Now that was what you call welcoming the new year with a bang," I giggled.

I told him earlier how the coming of the new year was celebrated around the world in the twenty-first century, he laughed at the Filipino belief that jumping up and down when the clock struck twelve made one taller.

"We don't have fireworks so we just had to make do with what we have," he replied jokingly.

We both laughed until our sides hurt.

"Happy new year, Hina," he kissed my forehead.

"Happy new year, my love."
