At the Edge of the Lake

CHAPTER 2: On the Road.

Still shaking with laughter , Hatori picked up one of the boxes and began loading the car. Since Shigure was still laughing his fool head off and Tohru had all but dozed off in the sun, Hatori slowly finished packing everything except the cooler that held Tohru.

"Tohru, are you ready to go?" Tohru jumped up when she heard Hatori's gentle voice. "I am! Which side of the car am I sitting on?" Hatori picked up the last cooler and led Tohru to the car. "I thought if you sat in the center you could see better where we're going."

"Thank you, Hatori." Tohru's blush deepened as Hatori opened the door for her. Climbing quickly inside, Tohru forgot about her short skirt and was very aware of how close Hatori was standing beside her. ***Why do I feel like this? It must be the excitement of the trip! Well here we go***

Hatori tensed and tried to position himself between Tohru's rear and the usually leering gaze of his cousin. He'd all but gained control of his thickening member when Tohru's panties peaked out at him. To make matters worse, Shigure appeared next to him. It seemed like that smirk had been tattooed on the dogs face. "See anything you like, Ha'ri?"

Hoping Shigure wouldn't notice his erection Hatori placed the cooler in the backseat beside Tohru and shut the door. "Shigure, I am only going to say this Once… We have a very long drive ahead of us and if you insist on tormenting either Tohru or me, you will be walking to the lake! Are we Clear?"

"Yes Hatori, but can't I have a little fun? We could put the cooler in the front seat with you and I could keep our sweet flower company!" Hatori shot a look at Shigure that stopped the dogs' whining. It did not stop Shigure from pouting or plotting a way around the new rule… ***Well if Ha-san doesn't want me to have any fun, I'll just have to help him see the error in his thinking!***

While Hatori started the ignition, Shigure made sure the house was locked up. Finally, climbing into the passenger seat Shigure announced, "All set! Let's be off or all the others will get there first and we can't have that now!"

Hatori nodded and pulled away from the house wondering how long Shigure would behave in the car. The answer came about five minutes later.

"Tohru, would you be a dear and see if you can reach those snacks I put into that cooler? I'm simply famished and Ha-san took away my snack in the kitchen…" Hatori had a sneaking feeling that Shigure was up to no good. When he checked on Tohru in the rearview mirror, that's exactly what he got. Tohru had bent over the cooler looking for Shigure's damn snacks and in doing so presented her soft white panties to the men in the front seat.

"Damn it Shigure!" Hatori hissed. "Have you no shame?!?" "But Ha'ri, the view is so lovely and I saw you admiring it yourself earlier…" ***So this is the game Shigure had in mind! Let him try, I simply won't sink to his level*** Hatori's grim expression told Shigure that he'd gotten exactly what he'd been after.

"Here they are Shigure!" Tohru held up the snacks. After handing them up to the front seat Tohru settled back down in her spot.

They drove for the next hour all lost in their own thoughts.

Hatori spent much of the time peaking at Tohru in the mirror…***It's amazing how much older she's become, maturing every day and yet she still hasn't lost that sweet charm that makes her so special to all of us…***

Shigure spent the time organizing the course of events for the next week. It seemed there were endless possibilities. He handed Hatori a stick of gum and popped one in his mouth too.

Tohru, took a nap…

Dream sequence…

***"The storm is getting worse." Tohru could hear men's voices. Looking around at unfamiliar walls she realized that she'd woken up in a place she'd never been before.

The last thing Tohru could remember was leaving for vacation at the lake house with Hatori and Shigure… Suddenly nervous, Tohru slipped from the bed to listen at the door, and SHRIEKED! Her clothes were missing and she was wearing a man's dress shirt.

At the sound of her squeak, the door to the room burst open and Hatori and Shigure rushed in. "Are you all right?!?" they asked her together.

They both looked as panicked as she felt and Tohru couldn't stop the giggle from escaping her lips. Shigure joined in with his free flowing laughter and even Hatori smiled and began to relax.

"What happened? Why are we stopped here?" Remembering her questions Tohru sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at the men. They were both staring back at her.

Seeing a half-naked Tohru on the bed was too much and they chose to take seats on either side of her. "We hit a bump in the road and got a flat tire," Hatori explained. "We were lucky to find this place. There's a bad storm outside and we couldn't wake you, so Shigure carried you here. Your, ahhh… clothes were soaking wet and we didn't want you getting sick so we changed you into something dry and tucked you into bed."

Looking more closely at Hatori, Tohru could make out that all he had on was his vest and slacks. She just couldn't stop herself from staring. He'd given her the shirt off his back! "You must be so cold Hatori! I'm sorry, I mean, Thank you." She couldn't make words well with him so close to her. She tore her eyes away from Hatori and found a damp and smirking Shigure watching the exchange.

He reached out to her and smoothed her hair away from her face. At his touch Tohru's heart sped up and her stomach felt uneasy. She needed to drink in the sight of him. He looked so playful in his wet robes compared to the intense contrast of Hatori's raw and bared physique.

Realizing Hatori was still beside her; Tohru returned her gaze and met his with a new expression.

She reached out her hand and traced the line of Hatori's arm to his chest. "You're so cold." Tohru could see emotions dancing in the dragon's eyes. So lost was she in Hatori again that when Shigure moved himself more comfortably behind her; that she didn't even notice.

Tohru was lifted gently back deeper on the bed and nestled into Shigure's lap, keeping eye contact with Hatori the whole time. Shigure loosed his robe and dropped it behind them on the bed.

Shigure raised Tohru's arms and returned Hatori's shirt to him. He next guided Tohru's hands to rest on Hatori's chest and caressed her arms, gliding his hands back to where he could slide them around and hold her breasts.

Hatori gasped under her stare when soft hands began to explore his body. Deep heat was rushing into her from Shigure's hands and she shivered when he started pressing soft lingering kisses to her shoulders and neck.

Allowing Tohru more access to him, Hatori leaned in still holding her eyes with his and kissed her deeply. Sighing into his kiss, Tohru pushed off his vest and let her hands trail down to his stomach.

Tohru could feel Shigure's erection in her lower back and rocked against it. Wanting more she dipped her fingers into Hatori's waistband and pulled him gently closer. She could read the desire in his eyes and gave up all but her sensations.

Hatori broke the kiss and braced his hands on her shoulders and pushed his throbbing member into Tohru's eager hands. Abandoning him momentarily to fight with the button on his pants, Tohru slid him free and began to squeeze him with both hands as she felt Shigure's hands move to her crotch.

Reaching one hand up to Tohru's mouth and leaving the other to search for her center, Shigure groaned as he felt her mouth open and her legs spread.

As Shigure began to stroke her, Tohru regained Hatori's heavy gaze. Seeing his need matching her own, she used Shigure's fingers in her mouth to tell Hatori what she wanted from him.

Shigure was stroking her faster and had abandoned her mouth to play with her hardened nipples. Hatori smiled down at Tohru and closed the distance between them.***

End of Dream…

"Wake up Tohru… we're here." "Come on Tohru, it's a beautiful day and it's only right that you should be awake to enjoy it with us…" Hatori and Shigure were waking her…~Oh! We must be at the lake…~~ Tohru couldn't move, she was still locked in her dream…

She felt herself being lifted from the car and being carried between strong arms. Once inside Hatori, ever the doctor, took over their patient. "Shigure, go heat some water and make Tohru some tea." His voice was just above a whisper.

After Shigure left for the kitchen Tohru started to regain her senses. "Tohru, how do you feel? Shigure and I had trouble waking you." Concern flooded with something deeper filled Hatori's deep voice. Not wanting to worry them Tohru assured them, "I feel fine! Good as new! I can't believe I slept the whole way here. I hope I wasn't too much trouble?" Tohru was still having trouble letting go of her dream. She still felt so hot under her clothes! She worried Hatori would think she had another fever.

"Once we'd arrived and couldn't wake you Shigure helped me carry you inside." Hatori explained and wondered why he was so turned on by watching Tohru wake up. He'd noticed that her eyes had remained full of promises of dark things and couldn't help but wonder what had had her moaning in her sleep…

"Oh, I see," She couldn't look Hatori in the eyes after seeing his need so vividly in her dream. "Well I guess I'd better get to work!" She began rolling up her sleeves and Hatori stopped her. He was dangerously close to her and she could feel his breath touching her cheek in soft puffs. His eyes held the same promise that she couldn't forget…"I'm concerned, Tohru… It shouldn't be so difficult to wake someone."

"Don't worry about me! I was just dreaming." Tohru's explanation left much to be desired in Hatori's opinion. Softly, Tohru spoke again, "It was a very real dream." She quickly looked away from the critical stare she was being given and blushing, she tried to stand.

Her legs were wobbly and she had to sit back down. Hatori reached out and brushed her hair away from her face to feel if she had a fever. Her body responded like they were still in the dream and Hatori stared deeply into her needy eyes.
