Ties that bind

[TertiusHuman]

He watched her and then stripped before joining her in the warm water, leaning back and letting out a sigh.

"Luckily not, this is too small an action, but we need to move carefully now."

He ran his hands over his face and sighed again, "Sometimes I just want to strike out and get the war over and done with. The odds are good that we will win, but the cost in lives will be high and that is what I want to prevent."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko was confused: " You think war is a too small of an action? Are you mad, Kento?" *She tense up at the talk of war, she hated being part of this and never wanted any of her children part of it* " what you plan instead, Kento?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled softly, "You misunderstood me. The plan we are putting into motion is not a war or even a skirmish. If it goes according to plan, there will be no violence."

He opened his eyes to look at her, "But let's not talk about that, it is a part of my life that you do not like, even though it impacts you very negatively at the moment."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko sighed though the stress of such talk could cause a miscarriage would allow her freedom and the cause appear natural. She pour water over her head in the tub:" I should go to bed,I'm tired and I'm sure you rather take a bath alone to think" *she slowly began stand up slowly to leave the tub....*

 

[TertiusHuman]

"That." He said softly, "Is up to you."

He did not try to prevent her from leaving, but it was clear that it was not what he wished for either. He leaned back against the side of the deep bath and closed his eyes.

 

[Kililia]

Keiko winced at his reply as she knew he did not want to leave. She did not want to start a fight but she felt tense around him. She had truly pushed him at his limit. As she stood naked and rince her face to give him a view of her body as she bend over the counted. She patted dry her hair: " Why don't you let me give you a full body massage after your bath..." *She picked up the bottled of oil massage and showed it to him. She knew she had to get on his good side*

 

[TertiusHuman]

He watched her as she rinsed her face and gave her a crooked smile

"You don't want to give me a full body massage, I am quite certain that sex with me is the furthest thing from your mind right now."

He sighed and pulled the drain lever, getting out of the bath and drying himself with one of the towels.

 

[Kililia]

She looked at him surprised at his reply: " I said massage... NOT sex.... Geez, do you think, I always want to have sex with you like some nympho?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled, "I didn't say that it was you who would want to have sex if you give the massage."

He smiled and leaned in to kiss her cheek, "But thank you for the offer. It would have been nice."

Wrapping the towel around his waist, he went to the room and got dressed into pajama shorts, before going to bed.

 

[Kililia]

Keiko blushed as he kissed her cheek softly, she enjoyed this side of her husband she hated when they fought as she wanted their relationship to work at times. The situation was hard for her to accept. She had no choice as she was pregnant with their child. She looked herself in the mirror as she ran her hand over her flat stomach. Soon enough she be showing and wondered if he lose interest in her body.

She wrapped herself in a towel and slip in a nightgown and got in bed. She turn her back to him and wondered what kind of father he be to their kids. She wondered if he just wanted kids for a bloodline and have no real interest in their kids. She cursed under her breathe as she started think about their child as she doubt he cared about the baby. She suddenly blurred out:" can we agree to just one?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He lay with his back to her, giving her the same treatment that she was giving him. He heard her blurt out her question, he knew what she meant, but decided to not answer her. If she thought that she could turn her back on him and expect him to talk to her or answer her questions, she definitely had another think coming.

 

[Kililia]

She slowly turned over to find his back to her which annoyed her about. She poked his back :" I know your not sleeping...so ... Can we agree to this?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He turned over to look at her, "You know I will not agree to only one child. But I am willing to make a compromise. We wait before the next, give you time to complete your studies."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko was upset that he disagreed but relaxed as he allow her finish her studies. She sighed knowing that she would not get a real chance to argue his final decision:" deal"

She hesitated and whispered:" do you still hate me?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He reached up to touch her cheek

"I never hated you Keiko. I was upset and felt betrayed, but never did I hate you."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko instantly relaxed as he reassured her with his words. She got closer and wrap her arms around him to cuddled, needing to feel safe.

There was a time, she would of told a man off and left him in the dirt. She knew, she could not deny her body from Kento. She strangely now felt and instant need for his physical and verbal reassurance after a fight. She didn't wanna fight with him all the time, she missed their honeymoon. She knew best than boldly defy knowing he would severely punish her. It almost became a reflex to submit in need to get on his good side she had changed wether she realized it or not, even Kento knew it.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He wrapped his arms around her when she moved closer to him. Though nobody would say it from the person he was, he actually had deep and intense feelings for Keiko. It was a marriage out of convenience and he needed her to keep his people and her own alive and safe. But she was an interesting person once you got passed the willful woman she was, it also did not hurt that she was easy on the eye.

His fingers gently stroked through the silky tresses of her hair and he gave her a soft, gentle kiss.

 

[Kililia]

Keiko return the kiss and buries her face in his neck. It was so strange to crave his touch even after he severely punished her. She would probably not even bother fighting him off if decide take her holes. Her need for closeness took priority her rebellious streak.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He held her as nuzzled up to him, he sighed contentedly and was slowly drifting off to sleep. It felt good to hold her and have her with him, even with the things going on. He knew that he had punished her severely and hoped that it would not be necessary to go that extreme again.

 

[Kililia]

She quickly fell asleep in his arms. She craved his touch as she found herself needing him to comfort her. Kissing his neck before falling asleep. In the morning , she felt his hands under her baby doll.

 

[TertiusHuman]

His hands were slowly stroking over the firmness of her buttocks and over the curve of her lower back when he felt her stir awake under his touch. He whispered softly in her ear, "Morning, did you sleep well?"

 

[Kililia]

Keiko moaned softly at his gentle touched, she snuggled closer to her husband. She yawned and buried her face in his neck,moaning. Only to wake up at the sound of his voice, pulling away as she yawns:" huh...MMM..hhhmmmm"

 

[TertiusHuman]

His hands slowly ran over her back, his lips placing soft, gentle kisses on her neck, pulling her closer to him, not allowing her to pull away from him just yet.

 

[Kililia]

Keiko shivered as she felt his hand over her back, moaning at his kisses, gasping slowly as he pulled her to him. She raised her leg up, rubbing against him. She moans into his kiss as she returns them as she feel him grow hard, running her nails in his back as he poked her flesh.....

 

[TertiusHuman]

He kissed the soft skin of her neck, his hands sliding over her back to cup her firm buttocks, pulling her closer to him, feeling her warmth press against his growing erection. From her moans and shivers, she definitely wasn't resisting his advances, even this early in the morning and he liked that. In fact, he liked it a lot.

His lips captured hers, kissing her deeply as his tongue slipped into her mouth, slowly caressing her tongue with his own.
