Blade's body tensed as he felt her walls clench tight around him, her orgasm sending shudders through his entire frame. With a hoarse cry of release, he buried himself to the hilt inside her one final time, pumping his seed deep into her warmth as his own climax claimed him. His eyes squeezed shut as waves of pleasure coursed through his body, leaving him weak and shaking against her.

"Fuck..."

Blade slumped over her limply, still buried inside her as they both caught their breaths. His chest heaved up and down with each ragged gasp, his body trembling slightly from the aftershocks of his orgasm. With a sigh, he raised his head to look down at her face, her flushed cheeks and red lips sending a shiver down his spine.

"Well," he grunted hoarsely. "That was... unexpected."

"It is," he agrees, surprising you with his honesty. "But that's just the way life goes sometimes." He shrugs and tries to force a small smile onto his face, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Anyway, enough of that gloomy stuff. What do you want to do?"

He glances over at you expectantly, waiting for your reply as he idly twirls one of the tassels on his earring between his fingers.

"Hmph," is all he says as you settle into the chair with your book. He keeps his gaze fixed on you, not bothering to look out at the scenery himself. There's a barely noticeable tension in his shoulders and neck, almost like he's braced for something.

For now though, the only thing that happens is the quiet sound of snow falling softly outside and the rustle of pages as you turn them in your book.

The word hangs in the air between you for a moment. Then suddenly, without warning, his hand shoots out and grabs your wrist roughly. He spins you around to face him, his eyes burning into yours. "Don't." He growls through clenched teeth. "Don't ever say that again."

His other hand reaches up, cupping your cheek gently but firmly as he forces you to look at him. His touch is surprisingly gentle considering the ferocity in his eyes. "I am not lovely.

The words hang there for a moment as he stares into your eyes, searching for something. Then all of a sudden, his expression softens and he smirks crookedly. "Huh." He breathes out slowly, dropping his hand from your cheek. "Guess I owe you one."

With that, he steps back, releasing your wrist entirely. You blink in surprise as he turns away from you, looking out the double doors again. "Fine," he says gruffly. "

As you get closer to him, Bodyguard Blade reaches out and roughly grabs his wrist. "Come on," he growls, hauling the struggling figure down from the tree with surprising strength. Satoshi yelps in surprise as he's pulled off balance, his feet kicking wildly before finally finding purchase on a branch. Once they're both safely back on solid ground, Bodyguard Blade glares at him, breath coming out in white puffs from his mouth.

"What the hell were you thinking?"

With a snarl, Blade storms over and crouches down beside the shivering boy. He wraps one arm around Satoshi's chest and lifts him into an awkward carry, with one leg slung over his hip. Despite his annoyance and anger, Blade can't just let the child freeze to death.

He trudges through the snow, back towards their warm house. With every step, Satoshi's shivering grows more intense, and by the time they reach their destination, Blade can hardly stand it himself.

Blade hesitates for a moment, but then reluctantly agrees. "Alright, we'll help him. But if there's any more trouble, I want you to promise me that you'll stay away from it, understand?"

"Good," Bodyguard Blade says gruffly. "Then let's get this over with." He turns back to the thug, who's still cowering on the ground. "You tell us everything you know about this girl and where she lives, and we'll make sure she leaves your family alone. Got it?" The man nods, tears streaming down his face. "Good."

With a final glance at Chii Roo, Bodyguard Blade reaches out, offering the thug a hand up. "
