Dream Star

Besides, she would rather he stays home during days like this. It started raining the moment they left the building.

Her thoughts broke off when she hears a tapping sound from the window. "Brot-" Lila almost scolded him when she saw who he was with. Did he go somewhere with Yumeko?

"Did they go on a date?" Lila shook her head and opened the car door. "Get inside, you two."

Yumeko beamed happily, "Thank you, Lilchan! It started pouring out of nowhere, and Aida is useless. Who doesn"t carry an umbrella?"

Lila watched the two curiously. These two look like they are dating. Her thoughts broke off when she noticed Haruka stir awake. He cupped her cheeks and leaned forward. Her cheeks burned red. Uhhh, is he still fall asleep?

"Oi--! I know you saw me." Huan snapped.

Haruka sighed. "Forget it, why are you two here?"

"It"s raining. Obviously, we caught a ride." Huan explained.

"Are you okay?" Yumeko interjected.

At that comment, Haruka looked away. "I"m fine, don"t worry. You always freak out whenever it rains."

"Sorry."

"Uh…" Lila glanced over at her brother and saw a conflicted look on his face. It seems like this won"t be easy.

...

At Lila and Harukas house.

Since it was late, and the rain didn"t look like it would stop anytime soon. Instead of returning to the hospital, they returned home with brother and Yumeko-chan. The Kanehera mansion was on the other side of town, and so was her brother"s hotel. She was in the study, sorting some books out when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her from the back.

A content sigh escaped her lips. "Hubby."

"Mmmm, you alright? You canceled your work."

"I"m okay. I will make it up to them. Do you feel better?" Lila asked. If he is hugging her like this, is he truly okay? Lila turned around to examine his expression.

"Yeah, a lot better." Haruka kissed her forehead.

Lila returned his gesture and also kissed his lips. Haruka seemed content and at ease whenever she kisses him.

"Good girl. You"re so good to me, Lila."

Her gaze softened at his words. "I have some work with Soichiro at night, though."

It was clear that Haruka didn"t like that since he kept kissing her neck. Lila rolled her eyes. "Hubby, don"t be silly."

"What kind of work, wife? I don"t like it when you get hurt."

"Mmm, it"s just a bit of investigating. I don"t think we will be going to many places."

"Wife, it"s already late." Haruka said worried. "Can"t you do this during the day?"

Well, she understood his concern. It was late, and the weather wasn"t good, either. However, "I"m a hanyou hubby. Working at night is better for me."

While she can work during the day, it does not have the same effect as night."

"Before you go, my wife, let"s kiss a lot. I can"t get enough of your lips." But he did not kiss her lips. Instead, his lips went to her neck.

"We have guests remember?" Lila mumbled. But she didn"t pull him away. She liked the feeling of his lips on her neck.

Haruka sighed. "Why did you invite them both here?"

"Well, it"s raining."

"By the way, put Huan in the soundproof room. That guy doesn"t like the sound of the rain."

"Ah."

"It traumatized Yumeko and me. So what do you think it did to him?"

That"s true. Lila nodded, "Then, I"ll tell brother where to go."

"He found it himself earlier. So it"s alright."

Lila bit her lip. "Say, do you think brother likes Yumeko?"

"No."

"Eh?"

Haruka nodded. "No. I don"t think he likes her anymore. Realistically not many people can continue loving the same person for so long. I heard what happened between Ahoji k.u.mi and your brother too. Now that"s love."

"You heard?"

"Yeah, he told me a bit."

"Hubby, when do you meet with my brother..?" Lila tugged on his hand. "Why don"t I know about it?"

He chuckled. "You know wife. I"m always meeting with friends."

"Ah-huh," Lila nodded. "But you should tell me, so I don"t have to worry about you."

"Wife, I"m always worried about you."

Lila laughed when she noticed him tighten his hold on her waist. "Uh, you won"t let me escape?"

"Mmm I won"t, I want to kiss you a lot."

Kiss huh? Lila turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. "How is Rikksan?"

"I think she"s calmer now. But mmm, don"t bring her up now."

"I"m worried."

Haruka shook his head. "You don"t have to worry. Hey, are my hands too cold?"

"They are," Lila mumbled. "What are we doing?"

"Something nice."

Will he do it with her now? No, Lila knew no matter how worked up he got these days. Haruka will no longer touch her like before. The promise with her parents aside, he still feels guilty about what happened with Rikksan.

"When will you touch me again, hubby?"

"Mmm? Aren"t I doing that now?"

"I"m not satisfied."

Haruka bursts into laughter, and Lila shook her head. "It isn"t funny. Do you still feel guilty?" Lila mumbled.

"I do." Haruka admitted. "I feel very guilty. I"m sorry, wife. Please give me some time."

"So it"s true, huh." Lila sighed. Well, isn"t this a good thing? Haruka is repenting for his actions. But what is this strange feeling? She doesn"t like seeing him this way. Lila shuddered when Haruka suddenly pushed her down onto the ground.

"So tell me, wife. You want to be touched by me?"

"Ah, I do."

"Your very precious to me, Lila. I don"t want to hurt you anymore."

"But you"re not hurting me." Lila pulled him closer to him. "Do something."

Haruka hesitantly brought his hand to the strap of her dress but suddenly halted. Lila urged him to continue by placing her hand on top of his. She sent him a rea.s.suring look, and Haruka continued. In seconds the situation had changed, loosened clothes, and Haruka looked very worked up. He brought his lips to her knees and placed gentle, yet pa.s.sionate kisses there.

"Girls like it when guys do this, right?"

"Uh, I wouldn"t know." Lila said. Other than Haruka, she never got this intimate with anyone. Kiryu was more of the gentleman type.

To her surprise, after a few minutes of kissing and sucking, Haruka suddenly stopped.

He shook his head. "I can"t, I"m sorry."

"Uhh-- how could you stop there!" Lila exclaimed. "Are you an idiot?"

Haruka laughed as he pulled her back up. "Sorry, wife. I will make it all up to you one day, so don"t worry so much." he stood up. "Let"s go back to the others; they will worry if were gone too long."

"He ..wanted to do it, right?" Lila looked at his back. His strong and yet lonely back - walking away from her. Haruka will never forgive himself. She has to help him there. She slowly stood up but immediately stumbled in seconds. Haruka, however, caught her right away.

"Hey, you, I didn"t even do anything..."

At his words, Lila became very embarra.s.sed. "Uh. But that"s because my resistance is weak now. You haven"t done anything in so long."

"Gee, so helpless." Haruka suddenly turned around. "Get on my back."

Piggyback? Her eyes brightened, and Lila carefully got on. Her legs felt very weak, and it was difficult. But after she leaned on the chair for support, she managed to climb on.

"So, hey, my wife." Haruka mumbled as they left the room and walked down the hallway.

"Yes?"

"Do you really want to do it with me?"

"Why are you asking?"

"That incident affected me a lot. So I know it must hurt you too. I"m surprised you"re even still speaking to me."

"Do you understand why?"

"I don"t."

Her gaze softened. "Because Haruka, I trust you. Call me stupid or oblivious or whatever, but I trust you. I know you won"t betray me. You had plenty of chances to do so before. But you never fell for those schemes."

"Wife.." Haruka mumbled.

"I was hurt, yes, and it upset me greatly. But I"m not a child anymore. I can"t let my emotions get the better of me. For this relations.h.i.+p to work, I have to be mature."

She has to be mature. Otherwise, Haruka may get sick of her. She can"t let jealousy take over.
