Secluded lakeside lodge)
Ichigo sat at the edge of the queen sized bed looking through the window to the setting sun in the distance, the reddish glow of the falling star turns the lake into a sea of amber gold as the day draws to an end. The lodge was a small simple home with a fireplace, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, made out of pine trees that still gave a small refreshing scent. Ichigo and Rukia changed out of their wedding attire and into more simple clothes. Ichigo was just wearing pants as the married couple prepared for their carnal union. Rukia was taking a bath, leaving Ichigo alone with his thoughts. He was grateful to Byakuya and Kukaku for trying to manipulate the situation for his freedom and benefit, but that didn't mean he wasn't worried. Byakuya can handle himself, he had no doubts about that, Rukia on the other hand. He knew she was stronger now, but he had to protect her when she was weakened, save her was she was to be executed, and now she was the prime target to ensure his obedience. He know the leaders of the Gotei would protect her, but she was his wife now, his mate. Instinct demanded that he protect her from anything. Did she even want to marry him at all, or was she forced into this because of their positions? He was so lost in his thoughts that he never noticed her coming out of the bathroom.
"Something bothering you, dear~?" She teased as she hugged him from behind, making him jump in surprise. "Wow, I got the drop on the amazing Ichigo Kurosaki. Whatever shall he do?" She giggled, earning a slight chuckle from him that seemed half-hearted. Her cheery demeanor dropped as she worried about her husband. "Everything alright Ichigo?" He reached up and held her hand, releasing a heavy sigh.
"I... I just don't like this." He said reluctantly. "Is this just because of clan politics? Are you even okay with this? Will you be-" He started rattling on until Rukia got up and stepped on his head. Taking a second to process what just happened he raised his head and threw Rukia slightly off balance.
"You fool!" She nearly shouted. "Where's the man that defied Soul Society? The one that swore to protect what's precious to him? The one that has faith in his loved ones?" Ichigo responded by grabbing her wrist and ankle and then pulling her down to the bed with him on top.
"Better?" He asked, taking in the sight of her flushed face. A steep contrast to the white nighty she was wearing. She soon regained her composure and wrapped her arms around his neck, but she never lost her blush.
"Much." She said, combing her fingers through his hair. "It's sweet that you worry like this Ichigo, but please understand. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't okay with this, I AM capable of protecting myself, and everything will be fine. Everyone still talks about how you've changed Soul Society for the better. People in the Rukon I've never known greet Shinigami with a smile now, Shin'o Academy actually needed to expand to accommodate all the new students, and Ganju's running himself ragged leading the 'Reuniting Families' program of squad 14." She pulled him down to her chest and cradled him in her arms. "Take a second to see all the good you've done instead of worrying about what ifs." Ichigo just listened to her heart beating in her chest, the rhythmic pumping calming his nerves.
"Thank you, Rukia." He said with a smile. Rukia returned the gesture before making him sit up and crawling into his lap, placing her ear against his chest. Ichigo's larger frame enveloped her in a warm, protective embrace.
"You truly live up to your name as 'Protector'." She said, referring to the way he prefers his name to be interpreted as. "I'm glad you're my husband." She looked up at him, sharing a soft smile, as the leaned towards each other and exchanging a gentle kiss. Passion slowly built between the two as Ichigo trailed his lips down her jawline to her neck while his hands slowly removed her nighty. Rukia's hands wandered, pulling herself deeper to her lover and feeling the defined muscles that marked his strength, to playing around with the loose hem of his pants. Soon Rukia's night dress was pulled down and exposed her pert breasts to the air, which she weakly attempted to cover. Ichigo smiled at her shy cuteness before bringing himself to her ear.
"Size isn't everything Rukia." He whispered gently before tracing his tongue along her outer ear and nibbling on the lobe. She gasped out her pleased surprised as Ichigo tenderized her ear while a hand went to her chest, feeling up and massaging the boob of his wife. As he worked her chest, her hands finally went into his pants and grasped his package. The hardened length felt burning hot in her hands as her silky fingers glided up and down his shaft. Slowly, Ichigo moved his head to her chest while his hands pulled her closer to him and down to her moistening core. His fingers traced her lower lips before opening them and sinking a finger into her. They continued like that, exploring the other's most private areas before Ichigo raised himself up and removed his pants. Rukia copied with her night dress as she laid herself bare and presented herself willingly to her husband.
"Love me, my protector." She begged just before Ichigo claimed her lips in a deep kiss and guiding his cock into her petite body. As he slowly sunk into her, every inch caused them to moan in pleasure. Her pussy sucking him in and coiling around his dick which spread her cavern in a delicious way. Not even letting the other take a breath they began to buck their hips into each other, losing themselves in the carnal passion. There was no thought as Ichigo pounded his cock into her, no reasoning when they flipped and she rode him while moving her hips to feel him in every last inch of her. So lost in the rapture of the other's body that even when they came, her womb flooded with his seed and his rod in her pussy's crushing grip, they continued. Hours passed into the night before either one collapsed, finally exhausted. Ichigo was flaccid after rutting for hours and Rukia was pouring out a river from her womb, her stomach distended from the amount of seed within her. They soon faded from the waking world and into the realm of dreams. Ichigo imagining a world safe from monsters like Aizen and Yhwach while surrounded by his friends and loved ones while Rukia dreamed of the growing family she and Ichigo would have, joking with her sister wives while their kids played with their father. For now, everything was at peace.
