Wholesome…

"Naoya arrives at the Zenin Clan Estate's main hall for his arranged marriage to you, which was his idea despite being rejected by you once before. His excitement grows as he anticipates the ceremony, fueled by the knowledge that you had no choice in the matter."

"Naoya felt a surge of triumph at the soft moan Yume let slip into their kiss. So she could feel pleasure after all - he had been right. And the way she pressed herself against him so trustingly, as if seeking comfort in his embrace... it was intoxicating."

"He deepened the kiss hungrily, devouring the sweet noises she made. His hands roamed her body with a newfound gentleness, learning the curves and planes of her as if for the first time. When they finally broke apart to breathe, Naoya gazed down at Yume with a mixture of lust and something akin to affection."

""You are exquisite," he murmured, brushing his lips along her jaw and down the column of her neck. "I knew if I found the right way, I could make you sing for me.""

"His hands urged her towards the bed once more, but this time his intent was not cruelty or domination - rather, he wanted to coax more of those lovely sounds from her lips and commit them to memory."

""Let me hear your song, my little songbird," he breathed in her ear. "Sing only for me.""

"Naoya watched Yume's eyes widen as they met his own, seeing the confusion and desire mirrored there. He knew what she was feeling - this strange mixture of fear and anticipation that came with every new experience."

""Close your eyes," he whispered softly, brushing a lock of hair away from her face. "Let go of everything else but me.""

"With gentle hands, he guided her into position beneath him - legs spread wide enough for him to nestle between them comfortably. His gaze lingered on the vulnerable sight before him, drinking in every detail as if committing it to memory."

""I won't hurt you," he promised huskily, leaning down to press a soft kiss against her inner thigh. "Not this time.""

"Naoya felt a thrill of satisfaction at the sound of Yume's gasp. She was responding to him - truly and honestly."

""You taste sweet," he murmured against her skin, trailing kisses up towards the most intimate part of her body. "Like honey or nectar." His fingers brushed lightly over her folds, teasing at their dampness without yet delving inside."

""Tell me what you want from me," he whispered hoarsely, looking up into her closed eyes with an intensity that left no room for doubt about his intentions. "Do you want more? Or should I stop?""

"Naoya's eyes gleamed at Yume's whispered consent. She had given herself to him freely - a gift more precious than any other."

""As you wish," he replied softly, pressing a tender kiss to her inner thigh once more."

"His fingers parted her folds gently, seeking out the source of her pleasure with a lover's caress. Finding her most sensitive nub, he rolled it delicately between his fingers, gauging her reactions as he learned what gave her the most delight."

"All the while, his mouth continued its exploration of her body - kissing, licking, sucking on the soft skin of her thighs, her folds, her entrance. He tasted every part of her intimately, worshipping her with a single-minded focus."

""Let go for me, my songbird," he urged against her sex. "Sing your song.""

"His fingers circled her clit in earnest now, tongue flicking out to join them in bringing her to new heights."

"Naoya's eyes locked onto Yume's face, drinking in the sight of her pleasure. He could feel her body responding to his touch, her sex growing wetter and more receptive with each passing moment."

""Ah, yes," he whispered against her skin, his fingers moving in time with the rhythm of her moans. "You are a songbird indeed.""

"He leaned down further, his mouth hovering above hers as he spoke."

""I can hear your music now," he breathed softly. "It is beautiful.""

"His tongue darted out to taste the sweetness of her lips once more before returning to its task at hand - bringing Yume to climax under his skilled ministrations."

"Naoya felt a surge of primal satisfaction as Yume came undone beneath him, her body clenching around nothing as waves of pleasure coursed through her. The sound of his name on her lips as she climaxed was sweeter than any music."

"He continued his ministrations gently through her orgasm, helping to draw it out and intensify her release. Only when her body stilled did he pull back, gazing down at her flushed and sated form with unconcealed desire."

""So beautiful," he murmured huskily, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. Her taste was intoxicating - honeyed and addictive. "You sing for me better than I imagined.""

"Gathering her into his arms, Naoya held Yume close against his chest, letting her catch her breath. His erection pressed insistently against her thighs but he made no move to take her yet, content simply to savor this moment of intimacy between them."

""My little songbird," he whispered, stroking her hair tenderly. "You have enchanted me with your music.""

"Naoya felt his heart clench at the sight of Yume's small smile - a sign of trust and acceptance he had not expected from her, not so soon. It gave him a surge of hope that with patience and care, he could earn even more of her affection in time."

""Rest now, my songbird," he murmured softly, continuing to stroke her hair as her breathing evened out in his arms. "You are safe with me.""

"He meant those words - in that moment, nothing could touch her as long as she remained by his side. Any who dared try would face his wrath."

"Pressing a gentle kiss to Yume's forehead, Naoya allowed his eyes to drift shut as well, content simply to hold her close. For the first time, he felt a glimmer of the deep bond that could form between a man and woman, if nurtured with care rather than force."

"And he found, to his surprise, that the idea of cultivating such an intimate connection did not displease him at all."

"Naoya watched over Yume as she slept peacefully in his arms, feeling a strange warmth in his chest at the sight of her tranquil expression. Gone was the usual fear or pain that haunted her features - in sleep, she looked serenely beautiful."

"He found himself wondering what it would take to see that look of calm more often while she was awake as well. A part of him, once so small he could ignore it, yearned to be the source of comfort and security for this woman rather than the cause of her distress."

"Gently disentangling himself from her sleeping form, Naoya rose from the bed and moved to stand by the open window, gazing out over the Zenin estate grounds lost in thought. For the first time, he allowed himself to envision a future where Yume walked beside him not out of duty or force, but out of her own free will."

"A future where her smiles were given freely and her song rang out in joy rather than pain. Where she accepted him not just as her husband, but as her partner - an equal in every way."

"It was a tantalizing dream, one he found himself more determined than ever to make reality. And Naoya Zenin always got what he wanted, in the end."

"Naoya sensed Yume stirring and turned from his contemplation of the gardens to look over at her awakening form. The fading sunlight cast a warm glow over her features, softening the edges of pain and fear he was used to seeing there."

""You're awake," he said simply, pushing off from the windowsill to move closer to the bed. His eyes scanned her features searchingly, as if seeking any lingering traces of discomfort."

"Finding none, he allowed the faintest ghost of a smile to touch his lips. "Did you rest well, my songbird?" he asked gently, reaching out to brush an errant lock of hair back from her forehead in a tender gesture."

"Gone was the usual mocking arrogance from his tone and mannerisms. For once, Naoya allowed the walls around his heart to remain open, baring himself fully in this quiet moment between them without pretense or pride."

"His eyes held only warmth and a trace of vulnerability as he gazed down at Yume, waiting patiently for her response."

"Naoya saw the flash of uncertainty in Yume's eyes and felt a pang of regret that she had cause to doubt his intentions, even now."

""I am glad to hear it," he replied softly. Reaching out slowly so as not to startle, he gently took one of her hands in his, rubbing soothing circles over her knuckles with his thumb."

""You have my word, Yume - no harm will come to you while you are under my care," Naoya said earnestly, meeting her gaze with open sincerity. "I only ask that you give me a chance to prove myself to you, as I intend to do from this day forward.""

"Leaning down, he pressed a tender kiss to her knuckles before releasing her hand. But he did not retreat, instead remaining close as if to convey through his proximity alone that she was safe with him - as safe as he could possibly make her."

""What would you have of me now? I am at your service, my songbird.""
