Chapter Twelve – Punishment

It was a silent ride from the venue back to the mansion. Not one of the six disciples within the limo dared to disturb the silence and break the tension emanating from their pureblooded king. They figured that something must've happened between the two, and decided not to poke their noses where it doesn't belong. Personal matters such as these should be resolved only by the people involved.

Yuuki couldn't help but squirm a little in her seat, nudging her body to scoot further away from the source of her distress. She could almost feel the anger boiling inside Kaname as his aura freed itself from the confines of his body. She couldn't figure what he was so disdained about, they were okay awhile ago. They even danced together with grace after their foreplay. She suddenly turned her head away, gathering her hair on her shoulder to cover the blood that was rising to her cheeks at the sudden memory.

It was still a long way to go before they get to the mansion, and she already couldn't stand this distance. Normally, Kaname would pull her to his side and she would rest her head against his broad shoulder while Kaname traced invisible patterns on her skin. Her fingers tangled through her hair, remembering that part of her hair was still tied in a bun. She saw Rima free her hair from the ribbons that held it up and decided to do the same.

It was fortunate that Ruka doesn't approve of hairsprays, otherwise her hair would be impossible to undo until she took a shower. She thought as she made herself busy by pulling out hairpins from her locks. A thick braid fell on her shoulder as she pulled out the last hairpin, she went to work on disentangling her locks from the plait, combing through the curls using her delicate fingers. As she was smoothing her tresses, she felt something warm lingering on her skin; she slowly followed the source of this feeling using her eyes.

Her eyes led her to none other than the person beside her. She averted her eyes quickly and was surprised that he was now staring at her, while an hour ago, he was completely ignoring her. As she read the atmosphere, she noticed that something has changed. She took a peek under her thick lashes once again at the person beside her. There was something different from his gaze, instead of the anger she felt him exude earlier, she felt something else radiate off him.

It was something more heated, furious and predatory, which made her insides churn and she felt something land in the pits of her stomach. She felt hot, as the dark gaze in his eyes slowly consumed her from inside. With a sharp intake of breath, she realized that she was still staring directly into his eyes; she could almost swear that she avoided his eyes awhile ago. But now it was too late, she felt herself trapped within those hypnotic orbs of wine, and she could not break away.

She could almost feel his heated gaze dancing on her skin as she felt goose bumps rise on her arms. She noticed that her breathing was a lot heavier from before. How long has it been? She asked herself. She willed herself to break free, making her body move but found it impossible as she felt his eyes pull her in deeper into a trance.

Clink

Yuuki's eyes widened, surprised and finally free from his restricting eyes; she inclined her head looking at the object that broke her out of the spell. She saw one of her diamond studded hairpins on the carpet of the limo. Jewelries really are a woman's best friend; she thought to herself and bent down to pick it up. As she resumed her earlier stance, she looked at the others who were slacking in their seats and staring at the windows. They didn't seem to notice the entire exchange.

She sneaked a glance at her mate once more; he was back in his original position, with his chin resting on his right palm, watching the scenery outside the limo. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she herself decided to mimic what the others were doing. She was playing with the strands of her hair, combing through it with her fingers, staring blankly out the window. The forest outside gradually became more and more familiar to her as they drove by; it was a sign that they were getting nearer to their destination.

Kuran mansion, fifteen minutes later…

Akatsuki parked the limo in the garage; still, not a word was exchanged between the King and Queen. It has become rather awkward, even the remaining six were not able to utter a word, not really knowing what to say. As they arrived inside the mansion, it was Kaname who broke the dead silence.

"Aidou, please escort Ichijou, Rima and Shiki to their bedrooms." Kaname ordered, his voice ringing inside the hollow living area.

"I understand, Kaname-sama." Aidou bowed in front of Kaname as the three followed him to the stairs. "There are complimentary clothes and towels in the rooms, but I believe that would only last for not more than two days, so…"

Aidou's voice echoed in the house as they ascended the stairs. Ruka and Akatsuki were soon to follow behind them. Kaname started to walk towards the stairs, with Yuuki following behind him. The others made their way to the East Wing while Kaname and Yuuki headed to the West Wing. As soon as they got in their room, Kaname briskly walked to the foot of the bed and sat on it, leaving Yuuki standing behind the door.

"Kaname," Yuuki finally mustered enough courage to speak. "Are you mad at me?" She asked through worried eyes, her voice mirroring the same tone.

Kaname did not answer, instead he stared at her intently boring holes though her body with the use of his eyes, which made Yuuki feel a little more insecure. She constantly bombarded herself with questions as to what had she done to get this reaction from him. She thought that he wasn't too mad about what happened with her and Zero at the ball earlier. Her underwear that was still damp served as evidence of this fact.

"Yuuki," Kaname called to her. Her head whipped up in surprise as he finally acknowledged her. She was pulled out of her negative conclusions that were clearly written all over her face. "Do you think I wouldn't be upset with what you did earlier?"

Yuuki looked down disappointed in herself, "I know." Of course she knew that Kaname wouldn't like what transpired earlier. But she was just too happy that she hugged Zero, even when knowing that if Kaname saw, it would surely break his heart. "I-I'm sorry." She stammered. "I was just too delighted over the fact that Zero decided to reconcile with me—as a friend of course." She looked up at him under her lashes with her head bent down as she completed her sentence which he could've misunderstood.

"I'm aware of that." He simply stated, irritation lacing his deep voice. "But I just couldn't stop myself to think of what he did in the past." Recognition and guilt reflected in Yuuki's eyes. He couldn't stop the images that invaded his mind back then. His mind kept pestering him with memories of Zero feeding on her. With him being able to be the first to savor Yuuki's blood which was rightfully his kept nagging at him to slit his throat. He smiled inwardly at the thought. How delightful that would be if that were to happen.

"I'm sorry." Yuuki repeated in low voice, guilt was consuming her from the inside. In her case, she grew up as a human, so she wasn't able to understand the importance of blood to vampires. A part of her knew back then that what she did was wrong, besides the fact that offering your blood to a vampire to serve as food. When she fed Zero, there was always this persistent thought in her head that was screaming that what she did with Zero was wrong, extremely unforgivable.

She had only realized now that that 'voice' was her inner vampire preventing her from giving something only her soulmate should have. She should've listened, but just couldn't bear to lose the Zero she knew. As she looked at Kaname's eyes right now, she knew that he knew she wasn't the one to blame. He himself already understood the reason of her past actions.

Testing the dark waters of those fiery orbs, she sought forgiveness that was rightfully there. Even if what she did was considered unforgivable, Kaname had already found it in himself to forgive and to understand, but the pain would forever be engraved in his heart. And now she stood there in front of him, as his mate, someone to soothe his burning soul.

Another minute had passed and the air between the two had started to change. Yuuki was finding it a little uncomfortable standing in front of him under his intense scrutiny. It seems that something else was on his mind, completely throwing the issue behind his shoulder. As his eyes roved over her form slowly, she couldn't help but twitch under his gaze. The phrase 'feeling one's stare' came to her mind. His eyes, that traveled every inch of her body, were followed by a path of fire, igniting her senses further into excitement.

"Yuuki," Kaname drawled, her name fell form his lips seductively and his stare became heated.

"Y-yes?" Yuuki asked her voice low and was slightly shaking. She was slightly dumbfounded but couldn't figure the reason why. Maybe it was because she herself was looking over his seductive form from where she stood, imitating what he was doing.

"You don't want me to feel bad anymore, do you?" He asked in his low playful voice, the one he always used on her when he has something up his sleeve.

"No." She answered in only one word, still absorbed in his eyes.

"Then, would you do something for me?"

"Of course," Yuuki replied almost immediately.

"Really? Even if it meant following orders for the rest of this day?"

Kaname asked in an amused tone, observing his youthful princess under his accurate eyes. She didn't know exactly what he was planning, but she wasn't one to deny him of what he wanted, so she nodded in response. Of that she was certain, she even told him once that she'd follow him through the depths of hell just to be with him, so doing simple commands would be easy, right? Or so she thought.

"Are you sure?" Yuuki nodded again. "Then promise me," Yuuki stared at him giving him her full attention. "Promise me that you'd do everything I say, at least for the rest of this day."

"I promise." She replied swiftly with a stern voice. She was always one to keep promises, and she would do anything just to make Kaname happy, and forget about what happened earlier.

Kaname smirked at the innocent little girl in front of him; she really had no clue when someone was rubbing their palms together in an evil scheme. "Then strip for me, right here, right now."

"What?!" Yuuki reacted immediately.

"Why so shy, Yuuki? I have already seen every inch of your body. So it shouldn't matter anymore right?" Kaname asked in his usual teasing tone. The sarcasm in his voice went undetected by Yuuki. In truth, he didn't even need to hear her reasons; he just wanted to see her stammer. Playing with his little Yuuki never ceased to bore him.

Yuuki stood there, blood rushing through her veins rapidly; her body was rigid as thoughts filled her head. He was right in a way, what was she shy about now that Kaname had already seen her? Well, there is a difference; in the past HE would take off her clothes and worship her body with his skillful lips and tongue, meaning he didn't have time to ogle her body. But now, standing here in front of him, feels like she's out in the open. And the way he stared at her body seems like he was already stripping her clothes off with just his eyes. And as she looked at those hungry eyes, she can't help but feel a little excited.

With a sigh Yuuki straightened up and gathered her hands to the back of her neck. She was very careful not to make eye contact with Kaname.

"Yuuki" Oh crap. She knew what he was gonna say, but still refused to look at him. "Yuuki," Kaname's voice became firmer. "Look at me."

She reluctantly raised her head a little, letting her eyes travel from his foot to his eyes as slowly as possible. Her breath hitched as she saw his dangerous eyes that were conveying to obey his every command, hence there would be consequences. Her hands started to tremble as she unclasped her necklace and let it drop on the floor by her side.

Fumbling for the zipper at her side, she did not dare to break away from his gaze as she pulled it down, opening it. She saw his eyes follow the trail where her skin was exposed as she slowly let the gown fall and pool by her ankles. She did not miss how his eyes roved over her form as if touching her by just his gaze; she couldn't hold back the soft groan that escaped from her mouth as his eyes met hers once again.

Need, want, a dark promise what was she could fathom from the depths those pair of rubies that was transfixed on her form. She saw a slow smirk grace upon his lips as he spoke.

"Yuuki, why did you stop?"

Her face flushed in embarrassment as she remembered her place, now was not the time to be distracted. She was too caught up by the sensuous creature in front of her that she forgot the task at hand. She resumed his order by reaching in between her breasts undoing the strapless front clasp bra and letting the piece of white satin and lace join her gown on the floor.

His eyes immediately went to bouncing mounds as they were freed from the constricting garment. Then looked at Yuuki once more, her face and chest was flushed with heat, her breathing uneven, her eyes glazed over as she looked at him, mirroring the need that he knew all too well was also in his eyes.

Yuuki's hands which Kaname's eyes had followed once it started moving were now traveling south. Her fingers accidentally brushed the skin on her sides, making her shiver at the sudden sensitivity. She continued, her hands slightly shaking to the top hem of her matching underwear. She traced the hem, from the front center, going to the sides of her hips, her eyes still fixed on Kaname's. She pulled it down little by little, suddenly shy as his eyes burned her body. She knew he was getting impatient so she pulled it down all the way.

Kaname looked at her form afar, surveying her form through critical eyes. He finally looked at her face that was slightly redder than the last time he looked. Yuuki squirmed in her place as she looked at him as his intense gaze sent shivers up her spine, traveling through her body and settling itself in between her thighs. She bit back a moan when she felt warmth pool in her center, and rubbed her thighs together to get a little friction, anything to douse the fire in her core.

"Yuuki," Kaname finally spoke, highly amused by Yuuki's innocent yet erotic display. "Are you turned on by this?" He teased; Yuuki didn't answer and lowered her head in shame. "Look at me and answer, Yuuki." His voice gained momentum.

She obeyed and looked at him. "Yes." Her voice came out in a weak whisper.

"Good girl, now come over here."

Yuuki walked over to Kaname with shaking legs, and then remembered she had forgotten to take her heels off but decided to go on anyway. She was now in front of him, his face leveled to her stomach about only a foot away. She longed to touch him but was stopped herself since he didn't give any orders yet. She waited about half a minute and still nothing, he was still staring at her face as if reading something. Her insides were screaming at Kaname to touch her, only Kaname would be able to sate her sexual desires.

"Yuuki." Kaname whispered, his breath touching her skin and caused her to gasp. When did she become so sensitive? Kaname grinned at her as getting the effect he had wanted. He was going to make her beg tonight. "You're a very obedient little girl, aren't you?" Kaname continued and smiled at her. Yuuki didn't say anything and just looked at him with a determined face.

He stood up from his place, careful not to bump into her close form and walked away to one side of the bed, Yuuki looked at him, confused. Kaname gestured for her to lie down on the bed, using one hand and she did. She climbed up the bed taking her heels off in the process, crawled to the center of the large bed and laid down on her back; one arm covering her pert breasts and the other lay across her stomach to cover her womanhood.

"Yuuki, how can I see anything when you're covering yourself?" He asked in a playful tone. Yuuki obeyed, defeated, and splayed her arms on the bed. "Now, open you legs."

She was a bit surprised at his request but complied with reluctance. She bent her knees up and spread her thighs wide open as far as she could go. She looked over at Kaname who was walking to the foot of the bed once again. He already took his coat and necktie off and was now unbuttoning his shirt. He was looking at her and now she felt truly exposed, with her legs spread open and with him staring at her naked body.

Yuuki moaned softly as Kaname got rid of his shirt and his chest was exposed to her. Now she really wanted to touch him. His hands went to his belt buckle and Yuuki couldn't help but follow its path; she watched as Kaname stripped off his pants. A whimper broke from her throat when she saw Kaname's erection that was covered in black boxer briefs.

"Like what you see?" Kaname teased again. "I'm afraid that would be all you'd see for now." He said as he sinuously crawled on the bed towards Yuuki.

"My, aren't we a naughty little girl?" Kaname asked her as his fingers danced on her right leg, caressing the skin there. She gave an involuntary shiver and gasped when his fingers stroked her inner thigh. "I haven't even touched you yet and you're all wet." Yuuki gave out a moan in response.

Kaname blew at her core, making Yuuki jump and grab his shoulders. He drew back and took her hands in his. He pulled them up and took his tie that he placed on the table near their bed, and then tied Yuuki's hands to the headboard.

"If you break out of that without permission, I'll stop." He threatened. "Do you understand, Yuuki?"

"Yes," Yuuki said with a soft voice.

"Good girl." Kaname praised her as he gave her a little peck on her lips. "Now where do we start?"

"Kaname," Yuuki moaned his name and Kaname felt prided in himself seeing Yuuki weak, vulnerable and exposed only to him. He couldn't stop himself from capturing her lips in a heated kiss in which Yuuki responded to immediately.

How long had they waited to taste each other again? Both of them had been itching to touch like this the whole night at the ball and it felt good finally reaping the fruits of their patience. Yuuki moaned into the kiss as Kaname pushed his tongue inside her mouth. She was tugging at the restraints around her wrists, but was very careful not break it for she did not want this bliss to stop.

She gave out a whimper when Kaname pulled away from her; she wanted more kisses from him but Kaname had other plans in his mind. This wouldn't be called a punishment if he just gave what she wanted so easily. His glorious lips went to the column of her neck, just skimming his lips along the skin there, driving her further into sexual agitation. Then he blew hot air in her ear, earning a gasp from Yuuki. Then he gently bit on it, making Yuuki squeal; he smiled inwardly at the reaction that he just pulled out from her and couldn't wait to see what more he could do.

He placed soft kisses on her ear going down her neck, sending shivers through Yuuki's spine. He bit her neck teasingly and laved the bite marks with the use of his tongue. He smiled at Yuuki when she moaned and whimpered uncontrollably with each bite and lick he gave. She was getting more and more sensitive with each of his ministrations.

He took each of her breasts in both of his hands and gave it a firm squeeze; Yuuki moaned rather loudly and arched her back, offering more of her for him to touch. His sudden touch made her senses wild; the need for more was abruptly consuming her thoughts. Amused, Kaname bent his head down, and licked her left nipple very lightly, Yuuki gasped and twitched under him. He licked it again, and again, gradually increasing pressure. As he sucked and nibbled on her left breast, his other hand went to the other and started fondling it in his large hand and then tweaking and pinching the nipples.

Yuuki twitched and moaned his name repeatedly beneath him as he continued sucking and pinching her nipples. Her breathing was getting heavier and her body became hotter. Her core burned painfully, seeking much wanted attention, but her hands were tied up and she couldn't find it in herself to ask Kaname to touch her down there. Then she suddenly found her legs moving against her will, slowly colliding with each other. And when they were fully joined, she started rubbing her thighs together garnering the much wanted friction that she sought.

She moaned in pleasure at the sensation, with Kaname playing with her breasts and her thighs chafing together. Her eyes opened in surprise when she felt Kaname stop, and she too had stopped moving, she looked up at him, his face showing disappointment, or at least feigning.

"Yuuki, why did you disobey me?" Kaname drawled seductively, his face close to hers.

Yuuki couldn't answer; her eyes squeezed shut and her face turned away from him. Although she had answer, she chose not to for her response would be rather embarrassing. Could she even speak of her sexual desires out loud? No, Kaname would definitely say she's a very perverted woman if she did so.

"Answer me Yuuki, I want to know." Kaname purred in her ear this time knowing that she'd succumb to him anytime by means of torturing her pliant body. As he expected, Yuuki relaxed and looked at him in the eyes, her face red, clearly having difficulty in speaking.

"U-um," Yuuki's hoarse voice came out. "I wanted it down there." Her soft voice stated.

Kaname smiled warmly at her and kissed her forehead. "You could always tell me, I won't think badly of you. I am your mate; I'm supposed to fulfill your needs." Kaname said as a matter-of-factly. "Now, tell me."

"Huh?"

"Tell me what you want exactly or I won't do it." Kaname said with a sly smirk on his face.

Yuuki paused for a moment gathering her courage. "Please continue what you were doing before," she hesitated a little while Kaname awaited her further instructions. "And please touch me down there too."

Throughout this ordeal, she was feeling her core pulse and burn in need. And then, without warning, Kaname sunk his face into her breasts and devoured them, making Yuuki moan loudly. His other hand that wasn't busy with her breast roved over her skin, making its way down to her womb. Yuuki gasped and arched her back, as Kaname's free hand was now at her crotch, his fingers stroking the pink flesh he found there. He continued teasing her womanhood by lightly touching her core, spreading the moisture throughout and passing over her clitoris. He noticed that each time his fingers passed over her swollen nub; her lower body would twitch in response.

Kaname's fingers were doing wonders to her body; she even failed to notice that her hips were grinding along with his hand. But no matter how much she moved her hips, he couldn't just get to the right spot, and it was driving her further into insanity as he continued teasing her nipples and her core.

"Ka-Kaname please put it in." Her face was contorted in pleasure as she stammered.

"Put what in?" Kaname who finally unlatched the nipple in his mouth asked.

She would've pouted when he taunted her, but that wasn't the case right now, she was in dire need of release and she wanted it now.

"Please," she panted. "Put your finger inside me."

"Like this?" Kaname inquired as he abruptly pushed his middle finger inside her and Yuuki gave out a squeal of sheer pleasure.

"Yes," she said in her husky voice. "More please."

He obeyed, thrusting his fingers in and out of her womanhood as he basked and prided himself with Yuuki's pleading face and mewls of bliss. Nothing filled him more than knowing that he was the one who could only satisfy Yuuki in every way.

"Faster," he heard her say, and he did so, also wanting her to find her release. He added another finger, to which Yuuki arched her back in response and moaned louder. He pumped his fingers in and out of her faster and faster, making sure that his palm was hitting her clit. He saw her legs draw up to her body then her back arched higher. He drove in faster and harder this time and with a few more thrusts, he heard Yuuki scream, as her walls convulsed around his fingers. He slowed down his movements, making her ride her orgasm all the way.

Yuuki struggled to regain her breath, her back finally landing on the firm mattress and then she gave out a low whimper when she felt Kaname's fingers slide out of her. She suddenly screamed when she felt Kaname's tongue licking her very sensitive core, her back riding off the bed once again.

Kaname's strong hands pinned her hips down the bed in place as he licked from her center to her nub. He kept it in mind to do it lightly, knowing how sensitive she is after an orgasm. Underneath him, Yuuki was thrashing and bucking with each pass of his tongue. He began to attack her clit mercilessly, licking and sucking it alternately. Yuuki couldn't help but moan and whimper under him, her body twitching and tense all over as he licked her.

He sucked on her clit, staying there, using gradual speed and pressure. Yuuki's body suddenly grew more rigid; he took it as a cue that she was near. So he sucked on her clit a little faster, not increasing the pressure as so not to hurt her. He felt Yuuki's thighs entangle around his head as she came. And like he did before, he slowed down his pace as her third orgasm—including the one at the ball—consumed her.

"Kaname," Yuuki huffed as she looked down at Kaname who was sucking his fingers, cleaning it from Yuuki's past orgasm.

"What is it Yuuki?" Kaname asked as he kneeled up from his position.

"How about you? Don't I get to do something for you?"

"We can do that some other time." He answered while pulling his black boxer-briefs down, completely taking it of and throwing it somewhere in the room. Yuuki's eyes automatically went to the flesh he exposed. "Right now, I really need to be inside you." He had the sudden urge to thrust into her relentlessly.

He pulled her hips near his and spread her legs wide open for him to see and she was already dripping with need. He placed the tip of his cock at her entrance and pushed himself inside her in one swift thrust, both moaning each other's name at the contact. He pushed his hips against her harder, making him go deeper inside her.

"Kaname," Yuuki moaned as he started to move. "I want to touch you. Can you please let my arms go?"

Kaname didn't answer, instead he pushed himself deeper into her making Yuuki scream his name but ripped the tie that held Yuuki's wrists with his 'pureblood capabilities'. He was too busy drowning himself in the feeling of Yuuki surrounding him.

With her hands free, Yuuki placed her hands on Kaname's cheeks and pulled him down for a kiss. Their tongues tangled and so did their hips as Kaname drove himself in and out of her. And as he pumped into her Yuuki noticed that he was restraining himself.

Yuuki pulled him down once again and whispered, "Kaname, it's okay. You don't have to hold back."

"Yuuki," Kaname groaned.

Yuuki screamed when Kaname thrust inside of her with full force then pulled himself completely out of her. She was about to ask why when he suddenly flipped her over on her hands and knees and then rammed his cock inside her. She moaned even louder than before as he was hitting a spot inside her in this position. Kaname's fingers were digging in the flesh on her hips as he pounded in her but Yuuki paid it no heed, she rather liked this side of Kaname.

"More." Yuuki moaned aloud.

Kaname complied and rammed into her mercilessly, going harder and faster at the same time. The loud sound of flesh slapping together could be heard. His grip on her hips became tighter and tighter, making Yuuki moan in both pain and pleasure. She started to match his pace by moving her hips against his, but Kaname held it in place, conveying her not to move. Yuuki's arms started to weaken with the force of his thrusts but held herself up. Somehow she felt the need for more, for something.

"Kaname," she panted. "Bite me."

Kaname groaned in response and bent over, still thrusting inside her then bit her neck roughly. Yuuki couldn't take it anymore as she felt another orgasm devour her. Kaname feeling the sensations from Yuuki's blood and her core milking his member had also succumbed into the force of his own orgasm. Her senses were getting fuzzy as Kaname spilled himself inside her, both of them being carried by each wave of pleasure that overtook them.

Their bodies fell limply on the bed. Kaname rolled to his side pulling Yuuki's body to him, embracing her. He gave her a kiss on the neck, where he had bitten her saying, 'I love you'. He was waiting for her response but she didn't. He called for her name twice and still she gave no answer, only to find out that she had fallen asleep when he looked at her face.

Kaname chuckled to himself then re-positioned Yuuki, making her face him. He cradled her head on his arm and kissed her forehead. He was playing the ends of her hair like he did so many times before, and before her knew it, he too had fallen asleep.
