Summary:  

Finally, Lord Tsunamoto stopped, admiring Airi's tender form that was sprawled on the bed beneath him like a predator trapping his prey. "Last chance, do you want this, Airi? After this, you won’t be able to leave after I'm done,” he whispered to her ear, his breathing fast and heavy.

PART 1: Romance Under Wintry Sky

Also posted AO3.

When Airi opened her eyes, the sky outside had lit up even though there were heavy winter clouds hovering below. The glow illuminated the things on the floor next to her. She could see several jars of empty and half-filled sake and two sake bowls: one was upright, the other upturned, whose contents had long spilled the futon she was sleeping on.

Airi felt her head splitting, her body much warmer than the cold air. Her ears with faint ringing as the strong flow of blood ran into her head. She unconsciously moved but felt someone was blocking her effort. In a daze, she glanced at her back and was instantly stunned.

She was lying beside Lord Tsunamoto, her back on his bare, muscular torso; filling her with his heat. Under the quilt they both share, she could feel both of his arms clutching her waist and her chest. Wait...when did we... She felt very lightheaded so much that she momentarily fails to remember the events last night.

Airi began to sit up, but felt so weak and in pain that she could only take in a deep breath. She made every effort to rouse herself, but nothing prepared her for what she's going to see.

When the quilt that was covering Airi's body fell off, she found the upper hem of her kimono undone, revealing a number of small yet tender marks on her supple flesh; the bottom part of her clothing was pushed all the way up to her thighs. 

And, to Airi's biggest surprise, a dull ache between her legs.

Flowers suddenly burst out from Airi's cheeks. No matter how slow her thinking is right now, how could she NOT know what had happened here?

Airi's utter surprise made her memories of last night come into existence…

Airi had Lord Tsunamoto offer her jars of sake to celebrate her "love confession". The night had been young and both were in good spirits, talking, holding each other close to stave off the cold, until Airi felt a little too lightheaded that she collapsed unto Lord Tsunamoto...

So close that Airi could smell her lord’s scent on his nape, so intoxicating she had an urge to lick it.

"I think that's enough drinking." the man’s voice was concerned and sounded far away.

"Just one more please," Airi spoke as she struggled with keeping her mind afloat. But, she couldn't resist biting her lip when she saw Lord Tsubamoto's bare chest. Beautiful. She leaned towards her lord as her eyes traced her lord's jawline, and then unconsciously traced her finger ever so gently unto his well-toned torso. Her lord seemed to wince at her gesture but didn't stop her actions. Due to a momentary clear-headedness, Airi stopped and reached for another bowl of sake. 

Oh no, did I just touch Lord Tsunamoto? Airi tried to shake away the clouds in her head. Her coordination was so poor that the bowl suddenly went upturned before she could pick it up.

Oh dear, what a mess…

"Aww. That's too bad. That must have tasted good for you to drink a lot," the man gave her a rakish smile but Airi's vision was somewhat off as it was more of an annoying smug to her.

"I drank more during my younger years, this is nothing," she pouted, her face flushed and her head started to spin. Chilling air finally settled on her as the cool snowfall became heavier outside the inn. She clung to him for his heat as if her life depended on it. This gesture made Lord Tsunamoto slightly wince.

"W-Wait, A-airi—?!!" her lord had looked flustered as the rosy color on his face became even redder. On a different circumstance, he would have indulged her but his honor wouldn't allow him to indulge a woman who is drunk. The sober Airi knew this, and yet at that present state, she needed to embrace him for his enormous heat for herself. The lord tried to free himself but his inner demon slowly crept out of him and had drained his self-control. His normal eye started to get darker each second.

"Sorry, I just feel cold," Airi tightened her arms around him so close she could hear his heartbeat beating so fast like a rabbit, and a warm hard bulge between his waist and hers. She looked down to touch it. Is this what I think it is?

Before Airi knew it, Lord Tsunamoto’s face was inches away from her. Her hand that was touching the bulge was immediately taken by him. She could barely see his eye, which seemed different? It was dark as if beneath its depth held intense hunger and thirst for something.

Or...for someone.

"Do you have any idea how my heart races in a way unbefitting of my years?" the tone became more raspy as if trying hard to contain himself. "You made it nigh impossible to maintain my sophisticated composure," he tried to humor her but he failed as his inner desire became more and more apparent.

Airi smiled naughtily, I love it when you're on the verge of losing control, actually. You look cute when you're flustered. However, it seemed the alcohol in her body made her speak her thoughts at that very moment.

Because for some reason, Lord Tsunamoto stiffened as if something inside him snapped. His aura completely changed as if this isn't the dignified samurai Airi knew.

Before she could ask him, he suddenly pulled her to his body so strong that it took Airi's breath away. "You have no idea what you do to me." he rasped into her ear and gave it a sweet lick that sent cold yet welcome shivers into Airi's soul.

"Huh, but I—," before Airi could finish, Lord Tsunamoto dragged her down to their futon for a deep hungry kiss. He pinned Airi underneath him but she didn't resist. Then, his warm moist lips fluttered down her neck, sucking and kissing her tender spots as excitement filled Airi's loins.

"Oh, Lord Tsunamoto…"Airi sighed as he gave her more kisses on her chest, and onto her breasts. Every time his lips sucks her supple flesh, her whole being arched in pleasure.

Finally, Lord Tsunamoto stopped, admiring Airi's tender form that was sprawled on the bed beneath him like a predator trapping his prey. "Last chance, do you want this, Airi? After this, you won’t be able to leave after I'm done,” he whispered to her ear, his breathing fast and heavy.

“Yes,” Airi’s own voice thick just as the same.

Afterwards, he was all business. He undone her kimono up to her waist, revealing her supple flesh, and kissed Airi deeply. She could feel one hand caressing her breast and the other snaking through her knees and into her inner thighs.

Then, Lord Tsunamoto gently licked and sucked her ear as he rubbed Airi’s sensitive spot below that sent Airi’s body arching in pure ecstasy: feeling the growing wetness in between her legs and the bulge from her lord’s lower regions. 

“I hope you’re in for a sleepless night,” he breathed heavily into her ear as he removed his clothes and reached for his cock and stroked it to hardness, “because I’m not going to put you down for a second, Airi.” 

And then, the next thing Airi knew, her world became a myriad of pleasure and pain, of cool air and warm bodies, heavy breaths and lusty moans and a force so strong as though she was enveloped inside a violent storm. She saw her lor face filled with desire. His sweat trickled down from his head and down into his jaw, and dripped onto her naked chest as he continued whatever his beast wanted him to do her: grunting and thrusting his rod in-and-out of her core as his rasps thick with his own lust.

“Gods...you are so <i>tight</i>”

“Ah...Ah…Please...,” Airi gasped in pleasure as her lord made his way with her. But she couldn’t finish her sentence because he had moved his fingers and stroked her sensitive core as he thrust her even harder.

“What?” the beast smirked as panted heavily, watching how his every thrust made Airi's supple flesh move up-and-down and how their bed shake with his actions. “Does that feel good?”

“Nnggh!” Airi felt much pleasure, that her alcohol-addled mind couldn’t sort her words but moan. Lord Tsunamoto gave her another deep kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth as he muffled her moans.

“Don’t worry," he could see a thin line of saliva connecting his lips and hers, which turned his beast even more. "You’ll feel even good after this.” Before Airi could respond, the beast inside Lord Tsunamoto turned her in such a way she was on all fours. His warm tongue traced her spine up to the back of her neck as her senses fired up in anticipation. His fingers began to stroke her core much deeper as if to explore until he hit the spot that made Airi scream.

“N-no...not that!” Airi’s eyes widened from the sensation but Lord Tsunamoto only grinned at her ear.

“Relax, this is the right spot to make you come for me.” He then proceeded to lick her ear and kissed it that gave Airi even more shivers. “Take a deep breath, don’t resist.”

Airi gasped as she tried to inhale more air as the pent up pleasure from her core becomes too much to bear.  She could feel her strength failing her but she didn’t care. She could feel his fingers stroked the spot again and again until warm wetness flowed from her core. He then pierced her with his cock afterwards and thrust it from her behind. 

There was something primal when doing it from Airi's back as she couldn’t help but feel the thrill of every fiber of her loins as his thick long rod went in-and-out of her, feeling its roughness while moving inside her. Just as her limbs had failed her from the exertion, the man grasped her hands, moving them behind her back as he used it to steady herself during his thrusts.

“Ah!...AAHHH!” her lord went in so deep that made her scream her loudest. For a moment, she was worried others in the inn might hear, but she is lost in her own pleasure just as her lord unleashed his most powerful thrust.

“Hang on!” Lord Tsunamoto wrapped his arms around Airi’s waist and her chest as his thrusts went even faster. His orgasm almost close. “Airi...Airi… I...love...you...so...very...much,” Lord Tsunamoto grunted behind her again and again as his thrusts became even deeper that Airi's mind became lost in her own ecstasy. Her moans and screams of  pleasure only served to fuel her lord's inner beast to defile her innocence even further.

"Nggghh! Ahhhhh!" The storm within Airi reached her breaking point that her heart burst into fireworks just as her pent up pleasure broke free from her lips. Lord Tsunamoto gave her one last powerful thrust before his warm seeds filled the young maid’s core. 

"Airi," she heard her lord's weakened voice from before her vision grew dim. "I love you."

Both passed out afterwards, still entangled for heat as the room once again became slightly colder as their deed died down.

“Awake?” a voice shook Airi from her reverie.

Airi did her best to restore her calm expression but no matter how she concealed it, there were some traces of panic and shame on her face. <i>I seduced him? I had slept with Lord Tsunamoto? Just like that?</i> When Lord Tsunamoto saw this, he began to laugh. His well-toned naked body exposed her for her eyes to see which only made her blush.

“You were quite…naughty last night, young lady. I didn’t think you had it in you. So why are you scared now?” the man smirked.

Although Airi had always dreamed of having Lord Tsunamoto for herself, she wanted to take things slow and orderly, such as letting people in Oshu accept her first as a potential bride for her lord. Making a name for herself so she could compete with other girls. Sleeping with him like this is like a blow to his and her honor. What would the people think of her? A temptress who dishonored a noble samurai with sake? She would be judged severely.

But despite that, she was happy she did it with him. She never regretted what happened last night.

Airi knelt down, her legs trembled in pain as her arms had even less strength than before.  Yet, she made every effort to bow down before Lord Tsunamoto, “I have wronged you, Milord. My actions were…improper. Punish me as you see fit.”

The man frowned. He approached her, clutching Airi’s shoulders to help her on her feet. “Airi, you did nothing wrong. I was a bit tipsy too, so we’re even. Besides, your body really pleased my little brother. There is nothing wrong with serving your lord like this.” He winked at her direction.

That humor made Airi chuckle just as her face turned red from the implications. Oh, Lord Tsunamoto, you shameless flirt! For a while, his casual demeanor for being a flirty rake eased her discomfort.

"Do you regret it?" Lord Tsunamoto’s voice was solemn.

Airi looked up to see her lord. He was no longer smiling, as if he wasn't so sure of his actions were right and felt guilty for taking her innocence.

Airi cupped his face to cheer him up, "No regrets, I was asking for it, actually."

Lord Tsunamoto smiled, feeling relieved. He got up from the futon to get himself dressed.

But still, the question remained...

“So, what now, Milord?" Airi asked as she fixes her kimono, arranging it neatly on her body to cover the “love marks” born out of their tryst. It was a difficult chore due to her aching arms and legs. Not to mention that soft aching on her loins and the lingering pain in between her thighs had not yet fully healed. She could hardly walk properly at this state and she’s afraid the people outside will know what they had done last night. Will they gossip? Will the people from Oshu would get a word about it and criticize her?

"It’s not like we could undo what had happened yesterday,” Airi cautiously asked as she looked at Lord Tsunamoto’s direction. She wanted to prepare herself for what is to come. 

Thinking of the way Lord Tsunamoto had taken her, Airi surmised that there is a high chance that she could become pregnant with his child. Her fate can go two ways: she either become his side consort, given her status, or she will remain as his secret mistress.

The first will, at least, give Airi and her would-be child some status since Lord Tsunamoto is an elite samurai of Oshu, but she would have to endure harsh criticisms from other people, compete with other women for her lord’s affection, perhaps suffer some mishaps orchestrated by Oshu’s enemies or by other jealous women. 

The latter choice would be more difficult, Airi would have to keep her relationship with him from others a secret, perhaps even her pregnancy. If the rumors got out she’s sleeping with Lord Tsunamoto, her lord has the power to deny the claim at the moment of inconvenience. At the worst, she will become an outcast and a nobody, forever labeled as someone who tried to climb the social ladder by seducing her lord. Or, perhaps a loose woman who slept with unknown men and bore a child out of wedlock.

Both will definitely hurt Airi. She would hate the thought of sharing him with other women, and she would only suffer should Lord Tsunamoto decided to make their relationship a secret forever be apart despite working together.

Readying herself for whatever Lord Tsunamoto has to say. She froze with bated breath.

“You shall be my main wife, Airi.” 

So when her lord spoke with certainty that Airi will be designated as his “main wife”, her jaws dropped.

“M-main wife? But, I am just a maid!” Airi spoke incredulously. Did I hear him right? She tried to hide her growing elation, just in case she heard him wrong.

“Didn’t you say that if you are to be my lover, I shouldn’t take another wife?” Lord Tsunamoto grinned in her direction. “So what if you are a maid, any bastard who says you are not a fitting spouse for me can all go to hell, but you are the only woman I truly cared.”

This time his face became solemn as he cupped Airi’s cheeks, his gaze blossoming with his determination. “For all my years, no woman but you had taken the time to watch over me. Anyone would have kept their distance, scared because of the scar in my eye, perhaps they hate my wild ways or my rakish smile, unlike you.”

His cheeks became colorful but he held onto his courage not to look away. “When you entered my castle, you treated me as a friend, not as the lord of the castle. Women constantly vie for my affection, but they always have an agenda in their mind. But you never treated me as if I’m different from the common people of Oshu. That is when I decided to slowly win your heart. ONLY you.”

Airi teared up as he said those words. Never did she expect Lord Tsunamoto to bare his feelings like this. 

“That’s why...please marry me!”

Airi’s heart was so overwhelmed with emotion that she reached out to him and gave him a loving kiss so deep and passionate that she lost track of time. Savoring each second they spent embracing each other close.

“I accept!”

To Lord Tsunamoto, her answer was his best gift he ever had in his entire lifetime. For Airi, this is just the beginning of great things that will come into her life. But nobody except fate knows that she will soon become one of the women who will shake the world at war to its foundations.

"By the way," Airi finally said after looking at the messy state of their room "Please help me clean this mess, shall we? I could even smell the dry sake from the futon. Besides, my arms and legs felt sore..." She pouted as she smacked her fist to his chest, but then, she regretted her actions because the pain intensified even more, "You must take responsibility!”

"Ow! What was that for? Was that even necessary?" he winced in pain as he clutched the tender spot where Airi smacked him

“Ha! Big words from someone who slept me, and to think he even asked me to be his wife!" Airi laughed as she gave Lord Tsunamoto a knowing grin. She leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "If you help me, who knows, maybe we can celebrate again tonight.”

"Hahaha! You saucy little minx!" the man burst into laughter at the meaning of her words. Then, a smirk formed on his lips as his eyes darkened once again, "Why not now?"
