NOTE: M rating is in full force here. Divert your eyes accordingly.

For reference:

The Birth of Venus: a famous painting by Alessandro Botticelli during the Renaissance, depicting a nude Venus as beautiful, contrary to the time's usual portrayal of naked women as sinfully lusty figures

Helen of Troy: the most beautiful woman in the world at her time, Trojan War was fought over her

Natsuki stared at her in disbelief for five minutes. She opened her mouth but only squeaks came out. Finally, she recovered enough to voice her thoughts. "Bu- bu- but how! And you're a stripper?!"

"My parents worked for the government, and they stumbled onto some very important information. Their lives were threatened, so I was forced to go deep with them. I've been living in the mountains for the past eight years."

"Holy shit." Natsuki blinked her eyes, trying to process the mind-blowing information. That would explain Shizuru's sudden disappearance and every trace of her after high school erased.

It was a surprise for Shizuru too when her parents whisked her into hiding with them after her graduation. "Only four senior officials knew our exact location. We finally got word three months ago that the organization after them were completely annihilated, so it was safe to return."

Shizuru reached out for Natsuki's hands with trepidation. She thanked the heavens when the woman gave her limbs a loving squeeze.

"Um, are your parents top secret spies?" Natsuki asked in awe. She always loved watching secret agent movies!

Shizuru chuckled at Natsuki's awestruck expression. "To tell you the truth, I still don't know what they really do. What I told you earlier is everything they told me," Shizuru explained, shrugging helplessly. "They say it's for my own safety that I remain in the dark, so I'm not complaining at all!"

"Me either! I don't want you disappearing into thin air again!" Natsuki cried, pulling her into a passionate embrace. "My heart couldn't take it if that happened!"

"Oh, Natsuki!" Shizuru returned the hug with equal fervor. Moments later, she felt the woman rest her head in the crook of her neck. Her hand tenderly stroked Natsuki's azure tresses, causing the woman to purr in satisfaction.

Natsuki loved Shizuru's caress, but she was dying to hear how Shizuru came to her current profession. She lifted her head and asked in a timid voice, "Are you really a stripper now?"

Shizuru's whole body shook with laughter. "No way!"

Relief flooded Natsuki's system, but something still did not add up. "Then how are you here right now?"

"Once we assimilated back into modern-day society, my parents used their authority to find out everything that happened to you in the past year. Including the people you associated with. I had no idea they had this kind of power. But I often spoke about you during our seclusion, so they felt the least they could do was let me see you again."

"Whoa. Your parents must have crazy connections."

Shizuru nodded. "Three weeks ago, agents intercepted Nao's request for a stripper with a Kyoto accent. The kicker was that she said to use 'student council president' as the code words for immediate entry into the club," she said fondly.

Natsuki shook her head, thinking about the redhead and her antics.

Shizuru's mood turned pensive. "We were told you were engaged to a man, and the stripper was for your bachelorette party. I was devastated after I got the news."

Natsuki squeezed her hands to tell her that she was here now. Shizuru lovingly returned the gesture.

"My parents went ahead and arranged for me to be your stripper in spite of the unsavory role. I was very surprised when they approached me with the proposition. They surmised that maybe this meeting could bring me closure if I wanted it."

"I immediately jumped at the opportunity. I didn't think about anything else! I just wanted to see you again, Natsuki! Even if it was for the last time since you were getting married soon," she finished quietly.

Natsuki was flabbergasted. Now she realized that their chance meeting was really an elaborate orchestration but more importantly, just how deep Shizuru's feelings ran for her.

Natsuki cupped Shizuru's chin and stared intently into red pools. "Shizuru, this is not the last time. This is the beginning," she articulated unequivocally.

"Besides, I have to thank your parents for bringing you back to me!" she added to lighten the mood.

It worked like magic because Shizuru gave her a small smile that broke into a full grin. "They joked that if you didn't dump your fiancé after seeing me, something was seriously wrong with you!"

Natsuki laughed heartily along with Shizuru. "Wait, this means you knew who I was in high school!" she exclaimed.

Shizuru nodded with a guilty smile. "I may have abused my powers as president when I saw you in the crowd during my speech."

"What was the occasion?"

"The welcoming ceremony on the first day of school."

Natsuki's mouth formed an 'O' shape.

Shizuru grinned. "When it was over, I sort of followed you to see what homeroom you were in. I used the student council computer to access the profiles of every student in that class. That's how I knew your name. I also made sure we had the same lunch period."

"You can do that?"

Shizuru's smirk answered for her.

Natsuki returned to her assured self. "You were interested in me from the get-go. How come you only approached me when I was almost dying four months later?"

Shizuru's smile faltered. "I thought you didn't like me."

"Bu—"

"No listen. You had a scowl on your face every time I saw you by yourself around school. I didn't realize until earlier that the scowl was directed at my fan girls."

"I forgot they flocked to me like bees to honey," Shizuru added to ease the tension.

Natsuki rolled her eyes. "Well, don't you think highly of yourself?"

Shizuru shrugged innocently.

"You suggested earlier that my crush could have been watching me before my coughing fit. How long was she watching me?"

"I have it on good authority she was watching you every day," Shizuru admitted coyly.

"And what did she see every day?" Natsuki whispered into her love's ear.

"Her new world in ocean blue hair and forest green eyes. She could live on Planet Natsuki Kuga forever," Shizuru huskily replied.

Natsuki furiously blushed but remained steadfast. "She only liked it for the scenic views then."

"Ah, that's where you're wrong my dear. The picturesque scenery is a bonus. The sole inhabitant is who made her want to relocate." Shizuru danced her fingers down Natsuki's flawless back.

Natsuki wrapped her arms around Shizuru's waist and kissed her on the nose. "Do tell."

"With pleasure." Shizuru's smile reached her eyes. "She has a beautiful soul. She's kind to others and fiercely loyal to her friends. Her scowls become quite endearing after a while too."

"Hey!" She playfully smacked Shizuru on the arm.

Shizuru threw head back, laughing with glee. Natsuki didn't want to be anywhere but here right now with Shizuru in her arms.

Shizuru regained her composure and tucked strands of blue covering Natsuki's eye into her ear. She then communicated with her eyes how she longed for Natsuki in the past eight years.

Natsuki felt her body temperature skyrocket from the burning desire radiating from Shizuru's scarlet orbs. She responded the only way she knew how: she kissed Shizuru with the tenacious passion of a woman who just reunited with her long lost lover.

While still devouring Shizuru's lips, Natsuki backed her onto the couch. Shizuru fell back, pulling Natsuki on top of her. Natsuki kicked off her own stilettos and worked quickly to unzip the other woman's boots.

Then her hands automatically went to two satin-covered peaks. She was very pleased to find that the bra hooked in the front. The black brassiere was tossed aside. Natsuki broke away from the kiss to feast her eyes on plump mounds since Shizuru got her free show earlier.

"Beautiful." She glanced up and saw the woman blush.

She may have never been with a woman before, but as one herself, she knew what women wanted.

Natsuki worshipped Shizuru's swells with the zeal of a devout follower. Hands kneaded supple flesh while lips suckled on a rosy bud. Shizuru's frenzied hands attacked her assaulter's thick mane. Her soft moans were euphonious to Natsuki's ears.

Natsuki languorously made her way to flat abs, toying with them as she left featherlight kisses in her wake. She watched with fascination as the muscles flexed in response to her teasing. Shizuru tried to push her head down further, but she didn't budge. Instead, she laughed when she felt the pressure.

"Forget what I said about you being patient earlier!"

"Please! I … I need you!" The dull ache in between her legs was full on throbbing now. She had restrained her fleshly yearnings for Natsuki for eight years. Now liberated by Natsuki's touch, they were mercilessly exacting their revenge. Only Natsuki could turn the tide and bring her sweet release. Her eyes were closed, and she bit her lips as deft hands continued their pleasurable torture on her chest.

Natsuki couldn't believe how mouth-watering Shizuru looked at this moment. She could never deny the woman anything, especially not in their first time together.

Natsuki unbuckled the utility belt and chucked it. Shizuru watched her as she unzipped the miniskirt, revealing lacy black underwear. She slipped both pieces down creamy thighs and shapely calves and lavished her affections on them afterwards.

If she thought Shizuru was mouth-watering before, she hadn't seen anything yet. The appetizer couldn't hold a candle to the main entrée. The sight of a nude Shizuru could inspire millions of artists to pick up their paint brushes and immortalize her naked glory forever. Every one of her portraits would eclipse the beauty and fame of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.

Natsuki was slack-jawed as she toured the Kyoto beauty's voluptuous body from head to toe. Shizuru's cheeks flushed from Natsuki's voracious gaze.

"You are the contemporary Helen of Troy. And you're all mine," Natsuki murmured before engaging in a carnal lip lock with her lover.

Nimble fingers trekked down the valley between Shizuru's breasts and through the flat landscape of her toned stomach to finally reach her center of paradise. Shizuru's body writhed in anticipation.

Before she delved into her, she paid tribute to the engorged nub begging to be touched. Natsuki stroked the pink bundle of nerves, eliciting a guttural cry from Shizuru. The woman instinctively spread her legs wider and wrapped her arms around Natsuki's neck, fumbling to untie the knot that kept her dress in place.

Shizuru growled in frustration as the knot became even tighter. Natsuki chuckled and kissed her on the forehead like a doting lover. She helped Shizuru extricate the stubborn knot.

The dress pooled around Natsuki's waist once the knot was freed. She rapidly slipped it and her thong down her legs. The women groaned when their bare skin contacted each other.

Natsuki was on a mission to bring Shizuru to the height of pleasure. She glided a single digit into Shizuru's sopping wet channel.

"Na—Natsuki!" Fingernails instantly dug into Natsuki's back, marring the skin with scarlet crescent-shaped moons.

Natsuki grimaced but continued to pump the digit in and out, creating a steady rhythm.

"More! F- f- faster please!" Shizuru whimpered breathlessly.

Natsuki obeyed her lover. She added a second finger and increased the tempo.

Shizuru sucked in a sharp breath when Natsuki filled her core. She clawed at the woman's back and arched her hips upwards, meeting her lover's wild thrusts.

"Ohhhhhh!"

Shizuru felt Natsuki's desire drip onto her thigh and realized it wouldn't be fair if she got all the fun.

Two slender fingers easily plunged into Natsuki's slick cavern. Shizuru moaned at the intense heat assaulting her digits.

"Mmmmmm!" Natsuki was blissfully surprised at Shizuru's action and loved her more for it.

They moved in unison, bringing each other closer to ecstasy.

Natsuki saw Shizuru's body start to quiver. She could feel her own body on the verge of climaxing.

"I—I'm so close!" Natsuki's breathing was shallow and fast.

"Mm—me too!" Shizuru panted.

Natsuki quickened the pace and rubbed on the sensitive nub. Shizuru followed her example.

One final push and they no longer teetered on the edge of ecstasy.

"SHHHIZURUUU!"

"NAAATSUKIII!"

They were now caught up in its euphoric embrace.

The women shuddered uncontrollably from the powerful waves of pleasure rocking their body.

Once the spasms subsided, Natsuki lifted her head from Shizuru's shoulder to see her basking in the afterglow of the soul-shattering orgasm. Hooded eyes gazed back at Natsuki, and luscious lips curved into a smile of utter bliss.

Natsuki returned her smile, but she remembered the fingers that were still buried within Shizuru. She extracted them and hungrily licked the sweet nectar coating her digits while gauging Shizuru's reaction the whole time.

The woman sucked in a sharp breath and licked her lips.

"You taste so good," Natsuki said hoarsely.

Shizuru removed her own fingers from within Natsuki and quickly lapped at the dripping juices, moaning while doing so.

Natsuki watched her with mouth agape. She felt the pangs of arousal stirring within her again.

"You taste like heaven," Shizuru said huskily.

Natsuki feverishly kissed the faux stripper, inadvertently sampling remnants of herself on Shizuru's tongue. It was a very sensual experience to say the least.

Shizuru sucked on Natsuki's swollen bottom lip before pulling away. She held Natsuki's face in her hands.

"I love you," she whispered softly.

Natsuki felt her heart skip a beat. She pressed her forehead against Shizuru's.

"I love you too," she replied as gently.

Shizuru felt her heart do a flip-flop.

Natsuki gave Shizuru an Eskimo kiss. Shizuru awed at Natsuki's adorable expression afterwards.

Natsuki propped on an elbow. She didn't want to ruin the moment, but she had to know this answer. "Hey Shizuru, why didn't you tell me it was you from the beginning? Why say Viola?"

"From Nao's request, I figured you found me attractive in high school, that's all. I believed your friends were just helping you fulfill a fantasy before your wedding. And Viola was just a random name I came up since I thought you only wanted to have sex with your crush's sound-alike," she explained nonchalantly.

"Ah, I see." Natsuki nodded.

"But little by little, I discovered the true depth of your feelings for me." Shizuru lifted her head to kiss her lover, and Natsuki met her halfway. "So I finally broke and revealed my identity."

"Wow. You were willing to sleep with me even if I didn't love you."

"Yep. Love makes people do crazy things. It can turn someone into an 'obsessed stalker'," Shizuru teased using Natsuki's own words from earlier.

"You're one to talk! You got people tapping my friend's phone!"

"My parents told them to do it! But I guess I would have searched for you on my own sooner or later."

"See!" Natsuki looked at her triumphantly.

Shizuru laughed at her silliness. "So what happens now?" she asked the woman on top.

"Now, we should put on our clothes and go to my house for round two!" Natsuki waggled her eyebrows.

"Natsuki!" she whined petulantly.

Natsuki's amused expression turned serious. "I'm going to break up with my fiancé, cancel everything related to the wedding, and tell my friends they were right because I was settling."

"Would you settle down with me?" Shizuru asked earnestly.

"In a heartbeat."

Shizuru smiled like an idiot.

Natsuki grinned in a similar fashion. "C'mon, let's get out of here." She pulled Shizuru up and helped her retrieve the many pieces of her costume.

She watched Shizuru teasingly bend forward, giving her a nice view of her bust as she zipped up the boots. "God, you look amazing in that outfit! I wouldn't mind getting strip searched from you every day."

"That can be arranged," Shizuru replied smoothly.

Natsuki laughed and slapped her derrière, making the officer yelp.

Shizuru narrowed her eyes and pointed her baton at Natsuki. "Officer Naughty will spank you later tonight!"

"So looking forward to it!" Natsuki cheered and hung the baton on the utility belt for her.

Shizuru took this opportunity and smacked Natsuki's posterior as payback.

Natsuki jumped from the sudden action. "Oh my, is this a preview of tonight?" She gave Shizuru a lopsided smile.

"You are so bad!"

They teased each other some more and left the VIP lounge hand in hand.

They tried to be stealthy once they got downstairs, but it was near impossible with the amount of skin they were baring. Women obviously gawked more at the sexy cop, forcing Natsuki to wrap a possessive arm around Shizuru's waist and give all of them a death glare. Shizuru loved every minute of it.

Natsuki found her friends hovering around the bar.

"Well well!" Nao noticed them first.

"Came by to say we're leaving." Natsuki glanced at each friend.

Mai grinned at the numerous hickeys defacing Natsuki's neck. "I take it you two had fun up there?"

"Ara, you have no idea," Shizuru said slyly.

Nina slapped her cousin's upper arm. "Natsuki, you dog you!"

"Okay, we're leaving now! Bye guys!"

"Use protection!" Chie joked.

Natsuki rolled her eyes. "Whatever Chie!" She turned and started to walk away. "My friends aren't always this lame, Shizuru!"

The bridesmaids became rooted in their spot when they heard the name. Aoi spoke first, "Did she just say—"

Shizuru stopped, turned to the group, and took off her black aviators to reveal crimson eyes. She graced them with a dazzling smile.

"Holy shit," the friends spoke as one.

Natsuki turned to them and nodded enthusiastically to confirm their suspicions. She laughed at their stunned expressions and walked away with Shizuru.

The two strolled to Shizuru's car with their hands linked together.

"I hope your friends aren't still in shock," Shizuru remarked.

"They're so showing up early at my house tomorrow for the full story," Natsuki whined.

"Well then, we'll just have really loud sex to scare them off!"

"Sounds like a plan to me!"

This was never meant to be a protracted story. Writing an M story is like a breath of fresh air! Although, the love scene was rather difficult. I felt like a voyeur when I finished that part. :(

If you thought WTF when Shizuru said she lived in the mountains, it'll make perfect sense in the sequel when she takes Natsuki there to ravish her without interruptions LOL! I kid, I kid. Although, I might do a sequel someday. These two are kind of crazy, and crazy people have the most fun!

Good news if you're waiting for a new "Feels Like Today" chapter, I've started it! It will be ready next week. I'll give you a teaser: chocolate plays a MAJOR role! Now let your imaginations run free until I post it!

Thank you for reading my first ShizNat erotica and reviewing, if you did or will! :)
