Author's Note: Here's my response to those concerned with my portrayal of Megumi. First, it's been quite some time since I've seen the anime or read the manga, so my perceptions of her maybe misremembered or overly influence by her fanfiction characterization. I do agree that Megumi is a very liberal woman and I don't think she has any issues with sex outside of marriage, or even sex in general. However, I do see her as a some what manipulative woman - not to put her down, but to recognize that she always wants to improve her condition, that's she's looking out for herself and how she can get ahead. As such, I don't see her supporting `friends with benefits', since she would be simple trading sex for pleasure. IMO, Megumi feels that she can use sex to get more than just pleasure. I'm not trying to make her sound like a prostitute, but more recognition that she can use sex as a tool. I also envision Megumi as a bit harsh with Kaoru, a lack of patience with Kaoru naivety, or exasperation at Kaoru not perceiving the hard reality of the world that Megumi sees. It's quite possible that this an inaccurate portrayal of her, or that I didn't accurately convey her in my writing. But that's where I'm coming from.

 

 

 

&&&&&&&&&&

 

Kaoru looked up from her book when she heard the knock on the door. Glancing at the clock as she rose from the couch, she frowned. Who would be visiting at 11pm? Even Kenshin rarely stopped by after nine.

 

Looking through the peephole she was surprised, but secretly a bit delighted to see her favorite red head slouched against the doorframe, with a large paper bag resting next to him. She hadn't seen or heard from Kenshin in almost a week, since he apparently had a bunch of events at work lately. She had left a message for him yesterday, confirming they would meet at the gym tomorrow, but hadn't gotten a response.

 

Opening the door, she grinned “Hey there stranger. What brings you by so late at night?” Her smile faded some as she noted the dark circles under his eyes and the fatigue that pervaded his entire being. She pulled him inside and grabbed the bag from the floor.

 

Kenshin blinked tiredly. He hadn't much thought about the time, he had just wanted to see her and feel her against him again. The various parties and catered events for a bunch of big shots this week had worn him out.

 

Kaoru shook her head, locking the door. “You look exhausted. Long day at work?”

 

“Long week at work,” Kenshin corrected. “But the events are finally over. There's leftovers in the bag.”

 

Kaoru sigh putting the food away. “I know I can't cook, but you really didn't need bring this over. Not that I don't appreciate it, but you should have just gone home to bed.”

 

“Sorry.” He rubbed the back of his head. “Returning you message, that yes, I'll be your gym partner for tomorrow?” he tried, his eyes wide.

 

Kaoru looked at him. She had missed him, both personally and physically, this past week. Even though he was clearly asleep on his feet, she was glad to see him. “Off to bed with you. I haven't touched your toothbrush, though it may have collected dust in your absence.”

 

Kenshin smiled tiredly as went to follow her directions. He was glad she seemed to have missed him as well.

 

She slept curled up around him that night. He was clearly out to the world, but she still savored his warm presence in her bed. She told herself that she just needed the physical companionship.

 

When Kaoru awoke that morning, Kenshin was still deep asleep. It was rare that she got up before him. She quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to wake him. She'd have her coffee and sample those leftovers he had supplied last night.

 

Having finished her coffee, the paper, and a few too many of those stuffed triangular pastries (she liked the cheese ones more than the spinach), Kaoru cocked her head. She thought she might have heard Kenshin stirring. She hoped so anyway, since she didn't want to disturb him, but she really needed a shower and her bathroom plumbing tended to be quite noisy.

 

Deciding that it was late enough, and if he really needed the sleep he'd likely sleep through the noise, Kaoru went to take her shower.

 

Shed had already washed her hair and had just finished shaving, when her bathroom door opened to admit a boxer clad redhead. He quickly stripped off his boxers and slipped into the shower with her, causing her to squeak with surprise.

 

His arms went around her as he nuzzled her neck.

 

She swatted at him irritably and tried to turn around. “What do you think you're doing invading my shower! I'm naked here, you know.”

 

Kenshin gave a throaty chuckle, tightened his hold and slide one hand up to fondle her breast. “I've seen you naked before Kaoru. In fact, I've done more than see…” He nibbled at her ear and increased his caresses.

 

Kaoru bit her lip, torn between irritation at his presumptuous invasion of her privacy and the rising desire in her blood. It had been more than a week since they had last fucked and her body was informing her that it didn't want to wait any longer.

 

Kenshin grabbed some bath gel to make his hands slide even more provocatively over her breasts and teased the sensitive spot along the side of her throat with his tongue. “It's been a while since I've had you Kaoru. You weren't in bed when I woke up.” He pouted. “You know how much I like morning sex. You must agree it is a great way to start off the day.”

 

It was true that Kenshin seem to have a penchant for morning sex. In the four months or so that this benefits arrangement had been going on, Kaoru could count on one hand the number of times he had slept over and not fucked her in the morning. From super quickies on mornings they were running late to longer sessions filling up lazy Saturday mornings, Kenshin certainly knew how to wake a girl up. They had even used her kitchen table when she had unthinkingly entered the kitchen nude one morning while Kenshin was making breakfast. So this mornings antics weren't that surprising, all things considered.

 

Kaoru's annoyance rose along with the heat in her blood however. She wasn't the kind of girl to let herself be seduced in the shower. Or so she told herself. The extra moisture between her legs seemed to be saying something different. She wasn't going to let him get away with being busy for a week and then invading her shower and expecting have his way with her without even so much as a good morning. No. If they were going to fuck (and they were damn well going to) then she was going to be the one on top, so to speak.

 

Before Kenshin's hand sliding down her belly could reach its mark and distract her, she spun around, the slickness of the bath gel loosening his hold on her. Putting her hands on his chest she pushed him back against the tile.

 

“I thinking your forgetting just whose shower this is,” she growled. Pressing her self against him, she could feel the heat of his cock against her belly. She reached up with one hand to pull him down for a hard, burning kiss, while raking her nails across his chest and shoulders with her other hand.

 

Lightly biting his lips before thrusting her tongue in his mouth, she poured all of her frustration and aggression into the kiss. She wasn't sure who she was more annoyed at - him for being gone a week, or herself for missing him this badly. She was starting fear how much him ending this arrangement would hurt.

 

She ran her hand down his thigh and the firmly cupped his ass, rubbing her breasts against him. The faint remnants of suds on her chest had her reaching for the bath gel. No reason not to get her hands all over him… err get him clean. Kenshin shifted forward as she soaped up her hands. Kaoru shot him a hard look that made him lean back against the wall with a curious smile and heat in his gaze.

 

Kaoru proceeded to wash him, sliding her hands and the gel over his body. Her light touch across his chest had him twitching. Her teasing actions as she made sure his inner thighs were well washed made him groan. When her hands moved up to finish the job, he closed his eyes and clenched his jaw. The tightness of his balls made her grin devilishly.

 

She stopped. “There. All done.” His eyes flew open, taking in her smirking face. “Time to rinse you off now.” He grimaced and then quickly ran the water over his body, washing away the last of the suds. Turning towards hers, he reached out.

 

She thrust a bottle in his hand. “Shampoo.”

 

Kenshin glared at her and took some, before giving the bottle back. Kaoru looked at him wide eyed, setting the bottle down. Sighing, he suds his hair and bent back to rinse it out.

 

Once he closed his eyes, her gaze dropped to his crotch. Though not as hard and throbbing as before, he was still pleasantly erect. She licked her lips and then dropped to her knees. She had him in her mouth before he had stopped rinsing his hair. All thoughts of conditioner flew from his head as she tugged gently on his balls.

 

Sliding him in and out of her mouth, she massaged the base of his cock with her hands. He moaned. She smiled then hummed briefly. She let one hand drop to her lap to play with herself, while the other reached behind his balls to press on his hot spot. She swirled her tongue around the ridge on his penis while her right hand picked up speed, sliding between her folds.

 

The water went cold, causing Kenshin to suddenly open his eyes. Seeing Kaoru rubbing herself made him groan. He pulled her away, “This is not how we're finishing this.” She yelped as the now cold water sprayed her. He quickly turned the water off, and turn to find her leaving the shower. Damn. He would have been happy to take her against the tile.

 

She handed him a towel and began to dry herself off. “Showers really aren't comfortable for that sort of thing” she grinned.

 

He gave her a smoldering look. “Your bath mat looks soft and fluffy, it will work fine” he said in rich voice, taking both their towels and tossing them aside.

 

“In that case, you can lay on it,” Kaoru replied, not willing to relinquish control. She gave him a shove. He pulled her close, kissing her lips, then her breasts, then her belly, before laying back on the rug. Kaoru admired his naked form, her tongue peeking out between her lips. She was so absorbed in the contours of his chest, she missed the way his eyes flashed gold. Kaoru hoped he had been punished enough for his absence, because she couldn't wait any longer. Straddling him, she thrust him inside her, savoring his heat.

 

He moaned. Raising his arms, he ran his finger tips over the undersides of her breasts before tweaking her nipples. Kaoru continued to ride him hard, rotating her hips so that each thrust drove him into that aching spot inside. She close her eyes, heat rising. Moving faster and harder, she savored the pleasure coursing through her while desperately seeking more. She was faintly aware of Kenshin's panting breaths signaling that he was close. She ground against him, tilting her pelvis to make sure that each stroke rubbed delightfully against her G-spot and all the way up to her cervix. She could feel Kenshin's hands move to her hips to keep them in synch as he rose his hips to meet hers. Sensing the brink of her orgasm, she clenched her pelvic muscles and cried out as waves of heat and pleasure rode over her, bright whiteness covering her vision. She moaned as Kenshin completed a few more thrusts, triggering more sensations within her as he came.

 

Gasping she layer against him, his arms wrapped loosely around her. They laid there resting, listening to each others heartbeat return to normal. Kenshin stroked her hair. “Feeling a bit frisky today, are we Kaoru?” he said, grinning. She swatted him playfully, blushing, and slowly rose. Morning sex really was a great way to start the day.
