when she passed final selection, she thought sheâd never make it past a week in the corps. she had calloused hands, bruised knuckles, a uniform that didnât quite fit, and fear stitched into her ribs. but then mitsuri kanroji, the love hashira, smiled at her in that way only mitsuri couldâwarm, blinding, like spring sunlight after a harsh winter. âyouâve got so much love in you, i can see it. iâll train you, donât give up yet.â
and so she stayed. under mitsuriâs wing she learned to wield a blade with grace, learned to turn tenderness into a weapon, love into a breathing form. but even as she trained, as she sweated through sparring and bruises, her eyes strayedâalways to him.
sanemi shinazugawa. rough, scarred, every word sharp enough to cut skin. she shouldâve been terrified, like most were. instead, she couldnât look away. the first hashira meeting burned into her memoryânot the masterâs frail voice, not the weight of the corps on her shoulders, but the sight of him standing there, arms crossed, scar running jagged across his face like a warning.
she didnât want a warning. she wanted him. wanted the man behind the barked insults, the cold eyes, the bitter walls. she wanted to be his home.
getting sanemiâs attention was like trying to catch smoke with her bare hands. every conversation ended bluntly, a grunt or a clipped âhn.â he never lingered, never softened. but she noticed things. how his eyes flickered down when her uniform slipped too low across her chestâmitsuri had taught her confidence in her body, after all. how his jaw clenched when she leaned too close during training, sweat dripping between her breasts.
so she tried, a little more each time. tying her uniform tighter but letting just enough of her cleavage show. brushing dirt off her thighs when he was in earshot, bending just slightly. laughing louder when he was near, even if his face never cracked more than a glare.
it wasnât immediate. sanemi wasnât a man to break easily. but every so often, she caught itâthe quick glance, the pause too long, the way his hand flexed on his sword hilt when she licked sake off her lips after a mission celebration.
and she knew then: he noticed.
their latest mission had been hell. blood, broken bones, close calls. but theyâd won. they came back breathing. she, still high on survival, tugged on his sleeve when they returned to the compound, ignoring the way he tensed at her touch.
âdrink with me,â she insisted, smile too bright, voice too sweet. âwe survived. that deserves a little celebration, doesnât it?â he shouldâve said no. he usually did. but this time, after a long silence, he muttered, â...fine.â
sake blurred the edges of the night, the two of them tucked away where no one else could interrupt. she laughed too much, her cheeks pink, pouring him another cup. sanemi wasnât laughing, but his eyes were softer than usual, his scowl slipping as he watched her talk, talk, talk.
she leaned closer, her cleavage pressing against her uniform, her breath brushing his scarred cheek. âsee? youâre not so scary when youâre drinking with me.â his jaw tightened. his hand shot out, catching her wrist before she could pour again. âyou donât know when to quit, do you?â
her grin widened. âmake me.â
time blurred after that. she remembered the crash of his mouth against hers, the way his hands were rough even as they shook pulling at her uniform. remembered the cold futon beneath her back, the weight of his body pressing her down, his voice low and feral in her ear.
âfuckinâ knew you were teasing me on purpose,â he growled, ripping her top open, baring her breasts. his scarred hands grabbed them, thumbs circling her nipples until she cried out. âwalking around with your tits bouncing like thatâthought i wouldnât notice? slut.â
she moaned, arching into him, drunk and dizzy. âwanted you to notice.â that snapped something in him. his cock pushed into her with a brutal thrust, stretching her open until her nails clawed at his back.
âshitâsanemiââ
âsay it again.â his hips slammed into hers, relentless, forcing the air from her lungs. âsay you wanted this.â
âi did! i did, i wanted youââ
âfuckinâ brat.â he grunted, pace punishing, sweat dripping onto her chest as he fucked her into the mattress. âtight little pussy, all mine now.â
she tried to crawl away when the overstimulation hit, tears streaking her cheeks, but his hand fisted in her hair, dragging her back. âwhere the hell you think youâre going? youâre gonna take every drop âtil iâm done with you.â
her body shook with every thrust, her legs trembling, breasts bouncing with the force of his pace. his words poured over her, filthy and raw, each one making her wetter, needier. âlook at youâfuckâyou love it, donât you? love being split open like this.â his voice cracked into a groan as he slammed deeper. âcryinâ and begginâ but still clenching around me like youâre starved for cock.â
âyesâyes, sanemi, pleaseââ her voice was hoarse, wrecked, her eyes rolling back.
he smirked, teeth sinking into her shoulder as his thrusts grew erratic. âgonna fill you up. youâre gonna take it, arenât you? take my cum like the slut you are.â
her orgasm tore through her, violent and overwhelming, her scream muffled by his hand clamped over her mouth. he followed seconds later, hips grinding as he spilled deep inside, groaning her name against her skin.
he didnât let her go. even when she trembled, whined, tried to catch her breath, he stayed pressed against her, cock still buried deep.
ânot done with you yet,â he muttered against her ear, voice dark, rough. âyou wanted my attentionâyouâve got it now. hope youâre ready to keep up, princess.â
