Story Two: Probe the Psyche
~*~
She lazily opened her eyes,
and loved the feel of lulled heartbeat under her ear… She looked at Heero while
a sigh of content escaped her.
Tenderly, she touched his slightly parted lips with her finger then
slowly moved away. Relena stretched and happily accepted the pain as her whole
body ached. Her womanhood was sore, her breasts felt heavy but if he touched
her right now, she wouldn’t think twice of doing it with him again…
Relena edged to the bed and
sat up when a hand clamped itself possessively on her waist.
“Where are you going?”
A smile lighted her face… It
was so sweet. He’s asking her where, almost as if he’s afraid she’ll leave him
instead of the other way around… She
turned and grinned at him. “I need to eat. We’ve been in bed since last night!
And we’ve done…” She let her sentence hung while a blush blossomed on her
cheek. “You can go starve if you want but I won’t.”
Heero glanced at her bare
back, that luscious curve… “Yes… I’m starving…”
The look in his eyes… She
knew exactly what he’s thinking of… God! It felt so nice! “No! Food! I need
sustenance. Missing dinner, breakfast, and lunch was okay… But right now, I
need dinner. I can’t-” her stomach suddenly growled and the grin on Heero’s
face made her blush some more.
“Call for pizza. Don’t get
out of bed.” His thumb stroked the skin under her ribcage and her breath came
in faster. Who would have thought Heero was like this?
“Pizza… sounds like a… good
plan… Heero, stop that.” She snatched his hand away from her stomach to try to
keep her mind clear. “And here I thought you had control…” She muttered
playfully while she grabbed her corded phone.
Heero stilled. Control… He
glanced at her and realized something he should have realized before… When it
comes to her, Relena Dorlian Peacecraft… He has no control… He feasted at the
sight of her while she dialed the number, and knew that what he just realized
was true… Funny thing was, he didn’t feel as if he’s in danger at all! He
didn’t care… It was… all right to have no control…!
“I’d like to order two
medium pizzas… Pepperoni and cheese… and…” she turned to face him once again,
looking at him as though trying to decide…
“And the other will be sweet Italian sausage with pineapples.”
For a moment, Heero frowned…
How did she know what he would pick in a pizza place?
“Yes, that’s the place.”
The blanket slid down her
leg and Heero couldn’t stop himself as his hand traveled up that expanse of
skin, just as it had done so many times the past night and while there was a
sun in the sky.
She turned to him and he saw
her eyes darken. Her tongue slid out to wet her suddenly dry lips, tempting him
near to insanity. “Yes… Yes… that’s the address…” Relena gasped and stilled
Heero’s hand, giving him a half-hearted glare.
His lips replaced his hand
and another gasp escaped Relena’s lips while the phone fell down from her ear
and onto the bed for her suddenly impatient hands to cup Heero’s face and bring
it up to her face to kiss his lips.
The thud the phone made as
it hit the floor jarred Relena’s thoughts even before her lips could touch
Heero’s. She pouted and Heero… Heero grinned like a schoolboy on the verge of
mischief… How she was able to stop herself from kissing him right at that moment,
she didn’t know… but it was so beautiful to see that rare look on his face!
She grabbed the phone off
the floor and held up a stopping hand to Heero. “Sorry about that. I… I was
distracted.” She nodded. “Yes, thirty minutes is fine… Good bye.” Relena
dropped the phone back on its receiver and glared at Heero with as much menace
as she could muster. “Oh, you’re going to pay for that…”
Heero smiled. He was not
acting like himself, but this was better… He dropped back on his side of the
bed and then opened his arms. “How much?”
Relena moved to him, trying
not to let her eyes stray to his wonderful chest to keep her anger intact. “You
know what I mean…” She reached him and Heero instantly enveloped her in his
embrace, throwing her anger out the window. “I didn’t know that you had a sense
of humor.” The twinkle in her eyes signified otherwise.
“You’d be surprised.” He
tickled her then and Relena laughed as she tried to wriggle out of his embrace
but he ended up pinning her on her back.
“How’d you know what I’d order?”
That slow shrug she just
made had Heero kissing that creamy portion of her shoulder. A sigh left her
lips before she spoke. “I spent many years trying to read people through their
tastes and body language.” She leaned forward, unable to stop herself from
kissing that pulsing beat at the base of his neck. “You are one hard person to
understand but… I just thought you were the sweet and tangy person, especially
since you eat… everything when...” His lips and tongue, traveling down her body
made her squirm and almost forget what she was saying. “When… that’s the food…”
She became bold and ran her fingers down his spine, and more…
Heero’s eyes darkened like a
storm she couldn’t wait to meet.
They stared at each other
with huge smiles on their faces and then… started kissing… touching… and more…
“You… have an unquenchable hunger… Heero Yuy…”
“So do you… Relena Dorlian…”
…
Heero woke up. With eyes
still closed, he reached out to feel for Relena’s body as he had done so many
times before in the past few weeks, almost as if they had always slept
together-
His eyes snapped wide open
when he felt an empty space… His heart rate jumped as he stood up and stared at
her bare side… He’s usually the one who wakes up first between them… And since
the servants weren’t required to come inside Relena’s and his room to clean,
they’ve never really bothered with them… But where was she now?!
His troubled thoughts ended
as he heard the shower… His sudden panic attack disappeared and a glimmer of
mischief appeared in his eyes while he left the bed and walked to her bathroom.
He could see the outline of her delicious body well enough against the glass…
When he was sure she wasn’t facing his direction, he slid open the door.
Relena gasped as she turned,
and then… saw him. A smile appeared on her face while she openly stared at his
body… Sleeping together everyday for nearly a month… Bliss! Why would she be embarrassed to look? She
had never regretted that day… never regretted her decision… Her wait had not
been in vain and every moment was better than a dream. “Good morning.”
“You didn’t wake me up.”
Heero closed the door and she instantly felt the familiar curling and pulsing
sensation that stretched from her center and spread in her.
“You looked too cute to wake
up… I didn’t have the heart to.”
Heero walked to her and
embraced her. “Ever wondered how it feels like to shower together?”
“Hmm… Maybe…” She kissed his
cheek.
“So do I…”
…
It took them nearly two
hours before they got out of the shower… By then, she was laughing at his
wrinkled hands, and he was grinning at hers.
Thankfully, none of the
servants questioned their tardiness for breakfast… or why they would suddenly
disappear… Heero was starting to spend too much time editing shots from the
cameras in his computer because… well… He usually had enough sense to turn off
the computers while they… uh…, but sometimes, kisses turns wild, and when they
know that they were alone…
Heero’s throat dried as he
watched the scene on his monitor. He couldn’t believe that they were that wild…
or that soft… sometimes he even thought that they were different people. But,
when he catches sight of Relena later on during the day… he knew it was them…
it was real…
With a serene smile upon his
lips, he pressed the delete button. Those scenes were stored in his memories
already, and if he knew Relena, she will be quite distressed if she ever saw
those shots.
Who could have thought that
life could be this… wonderful? Damn! That word has been in his vocabulary too
often for comfort! Good thing that the servants were going away today… He
wouldn’t have to keep looking out for them the way he had been doing every
weekday…
“Hey.”
Hands went around his neck,
and soft lips kissed his hair from behind. A smile instantly lighted his face
as he turned his chair around … How often had he smiled this past month? How
easy it was…
She sat on his lap and then
looked over his shoulder. She was living in pure bliss, and the sparkle in her
eyes showed it. “No intruders, right?”
“None.” Heero settled his
hands around her waist.
“Guess what…” She leaned to
his ear in a secretive gesture.
“What?” His monotonous voice
didn’t seem so monotonous anymore as he played along with the obvious game…
Besides… What was that phrase Duo usually says to Hilde? Oh yeah. Relena turns
him on.
“They’re gone.”
“Finally!” In one sweeping
motion, Heero had Relena in his arms and, in no time at all, they were walking
up the stairs… Relena laughed as she wrapped her arms around Heero’s neck and
almost couldn’t wait until they reached the bedroom…
…
Heero stirred under the
sheets, not wanting to wake up, but instincts told him otherwise… He tried not
to move and to relish his most recent memories.
Going to the park became a
routine, one that he found himself looking forward to. But yesterday was
different. Surprisingly, and against his better judgment, his hand reached out
for hers. To hold. She gave a momentary stunned look, then her lips turned into
that inviting crescent smile that lit his world like a multitude of stars and
softly squeezed his hand.
It brought him pleasure- too
much pleasure, and in the back of his mind, he wondered what it would cost him…
Happiness has a high price. What will the world ask of him in return for these
stolen moments? He was not an optimistic man. He knew that these moments would
not last… His own countable memories of happiness only included Wing, and with
those memories came pain. Now, that part of his past was gone, and he was
living this blissful present.
Heero shook his head. No…
Why was he torturing himself this way? He was confused, adrift in unfamiliar
tides of emotions, but… dare he say it? He liked it. So rare it was that he
liked something that… he doesn’t want to let go… not just yet. He stretched languidly, strategically placed
his hand over Relena’s side to wake up knowing that she would be right beside-
His eyes snapped wide open
once again and quickly turned to her side… She wasn’t there… “Relena?”
Her shower wasn’t turned on…
Waking up and finding her
not beside him… One of the damnest feelings in the world- Bull! He’s gone soft…
He shouldn’t be like this! He shouldn’t feel the need to have her beside him.
He should be able to wake up after he dreamt about her and be able to face
reality like a true soldier! Heero stood up and walked out of the room,
determined to find her.
“Yes, of course Charlie!”
Her cheerful voice came from
the study and his previous thoughts disappeared, replaced by a question- ‘Who’s
Charlie?’ Her words became clearer as he neared the room…
“No… Fine! Okay… I’ll meet you.
Honest!”
Heero’s hands turned into
tight fists. His teeth grated as he heard Relena laugh. It was clear that she
was talking to someone she was very familiar to on the vid-phone, but
who the hell was it? They sound too sweet for comfort.
“I promise. This afternoon
at the park.”
‘Who are you?!’ Heero’s
anger doubled at the way the voice teased Relena. It irked him so much that
this person, whoever he was, could make her laugh so easily.
“Well!” She sounded
playfully frustrated. “At least I know I haven’t lost your trust!”
“Er… I have to go, Relena. A
client just came in.”
“Okay Charlie.”
He was shaking in barely
contained anger. His blood was boiling and he could see red-
“I love you, Relena.”
Those whispered words… It
was as if lightning struck him and his heart just stopped pumping… the whole
house suddenly became silent… He couldn’t feel his body as he waited for her
answer…
“I love you too, Charlie.”
{Heartfire’s Note: As I said
before, PG… Uh… I do try to write a chapter or two a week. True, there’s a
homepage that has up to ch. 6 of Heero’s, but the ones here has more tidbits
because I tried to take time to make sure I didn’t leave anything. The
webmistress is still going to change it, sometime.
Also, it seems that I will
only have one free day next week, and it’s nearly my finals. I will try to post
two chapters, but if I don’t finish writing or editing, I am apologizing early
if I don’t. For those who have tests, good luck.
If you have any questions
about Chimera, please free to email me. I might have missed explaining
something you didn’t know and I would like to be sure I covered all the bases.
Take Care!}
