Strange Love 47 Secret Lovers

The early afternoon sun s.h.i.+ned brightly through the numerous fabrics fluttering around the open balcony doors. The soft chirp of exotic birds filled the silence. The only other noise reverberation in Sh.e.l.ly's ear was the steady beat of Rin's heart. After they had eaten breakfast, she still hadn't felt like leaving the room. So Rin hand moved the small sofa over in front of the open balcony doors. Once he was satisfied with the view it's placement provided he pulled her over and flopped down. He turned sideways, throwing one leg over the cus.h.i.+on and dragging her down between his legs. Though caught by surprise, she hadn't fought him and instead leaned back against his chest. The gentle rhythm of his heart soothed her shredded nerves.

"Rin..." Sh.e.l.ly said, as something his mom had said earlier before the parts about... about him... came to mind.

"Hum?" his voice vibrated his chest beneath her head.

Sh.e.l.ly gazed out at the clear blue sky as she asked, "Why did you never say anything?"

Rin's voice was a soft purr as he asked in a sleepy tone, "About what?"

Sh.e.l.ly lifted her head and turned to place her hand down on either side of his hips so she could maintain eye contact with him as she asked the question that kept repeating in her mind. "Why did you never tell me how you felt?" She tilted her head as she waited for an answer. When he only stared back at her in wide-eyed shock she continued. "I... I liked you too... but Russ said you and Naru were secret lovers, that's why you live together... and the extra bedroom is to keep up appearances Naru's parents..."

Rin sat up straight careful not to hurt Sh.e.l.ly, "Let me just stop you there!" He arched his brows and shook his head vigorously, "You liked me???... You're a princess I'm just a... wait... You thought I was gay?!"

Sh.e.l.ly giggled, "Well yeah, you never dated anyone. You're surrounded by mostly naked guys all day. You avoided me every time I tried to talk to you alone... What else was I supposed to think?"

Rin grabbed Sh.e.l.ly by the shoulders but quickly released her when she gasped in surprise. He turned his head away and ran his hands through his hair. "Sh.e.l.ly YOU ARE A PRINCESS, I'm a Gen... a servant to a master. I didn't deserve your attention."

Sh.e.l.ly looked around the room then back at Rin, "Um... you're the one who lives in a palace." She pointed her index finger up toward the ceiling, "I live in a four-bedroom apartment at the edge of campus."

Rin turned sad eyes back around to meet her smile, "It doesn't make you any less of royalty and me any more than a slave." He raised his arm and unclamped the bracelet he always wore. Beneath it was an unusual tattoo. He turned his wrist up to give her a better view. "See? This mark is my shackles..." He sighed as he lowered his hand to his lap and hung his head. "This place is nothing more than a beautifully decorated lamp. My family was trapped inside of it for hundreds of years before the late master released us left the place to us on his death bed."

Sh.e.l.ly took his hand in one of hers and glided her fingers from the other and over the odd tattoo. "Rin, It's just a mark on your skin and just a useless t.i.tle that someone else decided to rank in their hierarchy of social values." His eyes came up slowly to meet hers, but he remained silent. Sh.e.l.ly gave him her largest smile, "What you are means nothing to me... as what I am should mean nothing to you... If you truly... um... liked... me." Sh.e.l.ly blushed slightly as she struggled over the last few words. It was now her turn to turn away from his intense gaze.

Rin's hand shot out and captured her jaw before she could get her head fully turned. He gently tugged her head back around toward him, "Do you mean that?... What you just said?"

Her voice cracked with nervousness, "Ye...yes..."

Without another word, Rin pulled her in closer to him and sealed her lips with a kiss. When she moved to get closer to him, she slipped and accidentally b.u.mped his forehead with her own. She blushed deeply as he let out an 'ouch' and began to laugh, but before she could pull away in awkward embarra.s.sment he pulled her against him once more and laid back against the sofa. He wrapped both arms tightly around her as he continued to laugh.

When his laughing didn't stop, she pushed free and turned against him, anger coloring her embarra.s.sed words. "What are you laughing about!? It was my first... real kiss... I'm sorry... I..."

Rin immediately stopped laughing and pulled her into his arms again. "Sh.e.l.ly look at me," he waited patiently until she stopped fighting against him and looked up into his eyes. "I love you, I always have. That's why I never dated, that's why I always tried to avoid being alone with you." His eyes trailed from her eyes down to her lips as he continued, a new hunger in his tone that hadn't been there moments before. "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep from doing this." He cupped her jaw and leaned in to capture her lips.

Their lips had only just brushed when the main door to the hall burst open. "Oh dear! Are you ok? I didn't mean to upset... y..o... owww..." Rin's mom stopped dead in her tracks a large smile spread across her face. She giggled as Rin shot her an irritated glare. "Oh don't mind me! Please continue! continue!" She quickly turned and skipped back out the door. "Oh, how I hope my first grandchild is a girl!... No... No, wait... I must be a boy so it can inherit this lump of earth! Then, then a granddaughter!" She was still talking to herself as the door came to a close behind her.

Rin sighed, a deep blush spreading across his cheeks, "Sorry about her... again..." He shrugged his shoulders, "She really does mean well..."

Sh.e.l.ly giggled and leaned in against his chest. She wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled her face against the soft cotton. "It's ok. I... I like her."

He chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around her once again. He leaned back against the arm of the sofa bringing her with him once again. "Did your brother really tell you I was gay?"

Sh.e.l.ly giggled, "Yep... and that you were a bottom, for me to just forget about you."

Rin began sputtering in irritation and disbelief, "He said what?!"

Sh.e.l.ly shrugged, "Yep, said he walked in on you and Kyle going at it in the showers one day... though I have to say I was a little skeptical when he said you were wearing a woman's hot pink thong teddy..." she glanced over her shoulder at his twisted expression. "I mean, you in hot pink... that would look ridiculous, you're definitely a dark crimson kind of guy."

Rin's eyes grew even larger before he suddenly realized these last few statements had been her messing with him. When she noticed he'd finally caught on she busted out laughing. "You little!" He moved quickly pus.h.i.+ng her backward onto her back. He came up over her and began tickling her ribs. "I'll show you a 'crimson man'!" When their eyes met the laughter died from both of them. Rin slowly leaned down closer to her. He balanced himself with one arm against the back of the sofa and wrapped the other around the back of her head.

She let out a small moan as he took her lips in a tender kiss. He then kissed her full bottom lip letting the kiss linger much longer than necessary. When she eagerly leaned forward for another kiss, he kissed the corner of her mouth then moved over to the other corner and kissed there too. He gazed down into her excited eyes and smiled before kissing her bottom lip again. This time however he nipped it and gently tugged it. When her mouth opened in a shocked protest, he took as an opportunity to deepen the kiss and quickly captured her gaping mouth.

Shock temporarily overtook Sh.e.l.ly as she learned to adjust to the strange rhythm of this new kind of kiss., but it didn't take her long to adjust and begin to enjoy it.
