A Night of the Courtesans, Heero and Relena

Relena ran as fast as she could. She held up the hem of her skirts as she ran down the path that would lead her to the center of the maze, where there was a large gazebo that was covered with roses. It was very private. And perfect for the seduction of the "perfect soldier." She turned her head to look behind her. She knew that Heero could catch up with her easily, but she had a head start and it would take him at least a few minutes to find her.

Heero paused and listened to the sounds around him. He could hear the movements of the others throughout the maze. He heard Duo curse about twenty feet away. The corners of his mouth tilted up slightly. Apparently his friend hadn’t found what he was looking for yet either. He started walking again, listening for any movement that would lead him to Relena. He knew she couldn’t be that far away.

She heard Duo cursing as well. She held back a laugh behind her hand. She didn’t want Heero to find her that easily. She continued on her way down her path and ran promptly into Duo. She let out a muffled shriek at being startled.

"Damn wrong woman," Duo muttered, but grinned at Relena anyway before running off again.

Heero heard Relena’s muffled shriek and Duo curse again. He smiled slightly. "There you are," he said softly and started running down the path and taking a right, where her shriek had come from.

Relena cursed herself silently as she started running again. She turned left and just saw Heero disappearing around the corner. Her eyes widened, knowing that he could easily pick up the scent of the perfume she was wearing, now that he was this close to her. She took off at a run again, praying that she wouldn’t run into any of the other pilots and scare herself half to death again.

He stopped. He heard a rustling noise about fifteen feet to his left. He knew that those dresses that the girls were wearing would make some noise. His nose twitched. An evil smile crossed his face. Relena was nearby. He knew that she smelled like roses. "Relena, I know you’re around here somewhere." He continued to follow the scent, knowing that it would lead straight to her.

She heard footsteps on the other side of the hedge. She froze when she heard Heero’s voice. He could smell her. She knew it. She glanced around. She could hear the sounds of the others running around in the maze. She had to get away without Heero hearing her. She lifted up her skirts and started running again.

Heero turned his eyes to the hedge next to him. The scent of Relena’s perfume was strong here. He listened intently and heard breathing on the path on the other side of the hedge. She was there. Then he heard her turn and run in the opposite direction. "You won’t get away that easily," he whispered as he took off in the same direction.

Relena heard his footsteps. He was close and she knew it. She turned right again. She was close to the center of the maze. She had only a little more to go. Her heart pounded in her chest.

He could hear her. He turned down another path and ran into Middi, who let out a muffled shriek of her own. "Leading Trowa on a merry chase," he commented.

Middi nodded and took off down the opposite path.

Heero shook his head and continued on his way. He could still smell the scent of Relena’s perfume. Not much further.

She turned a corner and saw him. He was standing at the other end of the path. She turned on her heel and ran.

He saw her as well. The evil little smile crossed his face again as he started after her. He could catch her easily now.

Relena heard him running after her. She knew that he would catch her in a matter of seconds. She saw the opening that would be the center of the maze. She sprinted with all she had left towards it. She felt a hand latch on to her wrist and spin her around. He caught her.

Heero caught her easily. She landed against his chest when he spun her around to face him. "Going somewhere," he said softly.

"In matter of fact I was. Care to follow and get that cherry off of me," she said breathlessly as she looked up into his handsome face. She saw his eyes darken a little. She smiled up at him and moved out of his arms. She clasped his hand in hers and led him to the center of the maze.

"What are you up to?" he asked as he pulled her back against him. He felt her shudder when his lips grazed her ear. They were in the center of the maze.

Relena almost melted when his lips touched her ear. "You’ll find out," she said as she started forwards again. She let go of his hand and walked towards the gazebo. She leaned against the post and faced him. She smiled slowly as she lifted the stem of the cherry from the low bodice of her gown. "You want it, come and get it," she challenged.

Heero looked at her. The moonlight hit her hair, making it look like pale gold. She looked like a goddamn temptress in that dress. He walked forwards, taking his time. He looked down at her. "I’ll get it all right," he said huskily as he lowered his head towards hers and kissed her lightly before moving down her neck, to her cleavage where the cherry was. He caught the stem between his teeth and lifted the cherry away. It was warm and it smelled like her. He bit into the cherry and swallowed. "It tastes like you."

Her eyes opened at his remark. His lips were tilted up in a semblance of a smile. Her flesh was still burning where he had touched it with his lips. She slid her hands up his chest. She could feel the muscles of his chest through the fabric of the black shirt that he wore. She raised her eyes to his and smiled again. "That’s good to hear. Do you want another taste?" she asked seductively.

His lips curved into a smirk. She was teasing him. It was very effective. He pulled her against him and slanted his mouth across hers. Her mouth opened eagerly under his as his tongue plunged into her mouth.

Relena plowed her hands through his unruly dark brown hair. His hair was soft and thick. She arched her body into his as his mouth continued to wonderful things to hers.

Heero slid his hands down over her hips. He knew that she was wearing at least a few petticoats under her dress. His fingers grasped onto the material of her skirt and began pulling it up.

She felt her skirt being raised. She pulled away and wagged her finger back and forth in front of him. They were both breathing hard. "Not yet," she said.

He growled a little in frustration, but did as she said. She walked further into the concealing screen of the gazebo, motioning him forwards. He followed her in and saw her stand in front of a chaise. "Relena," he ground out.

Relena could see the desire flashing in his eyes. She slowly began to undo the ties that held the front of her gown together. She could see that his eyes were following every movement.

Heero’s palms itched. He wanted his hands to be on her. He wanted to run his hands all over her smooth flesh. The front of her dress was almost open. Her breasts had been threatening to spill out any way. His eyes widened a little when he realized that she had been wearing a corset to achieve that effect. He took a few steps towards her.

She had the "perfect soldier" right where she wanted him. Hilde had been right. He was a man after all. With a shake of her shoulders, she sent the dress sliding down into a puddle around her ankles. She motioned him forwards. "You can touch now."

He smiled and pulled her into his arms. And just about their lips met, they heard Duo’s voice ring out. "Aww, Hilde, stop teasing me," Duo whined.

Relena smiled against Heero’s lips when she heard Hilde’s laugh. She flicked her tongue against his lips. "Now, kiss me."

"Mustn’t disappoint a lady," Heero said as he sent his tongue in deep. His hands slid around her back, tangling in the ribbons that held up her petticoats. He wanted her out of them. He slid his mouth down her throat, sucking her skin against his teeth. He went further down. He kissed the tops of her breasts.

"Hmmm, Heero," she murmured as she felt his mouth on her neck and her breasts. Her hands were in his hair again. She could feel him tugging on the ribbons that held up the three petticoats she was wearing. His mouth felt so good on her skin.

He finally succeeded in untying the petticoats. They dropped into a ruffled froth around her silk stockinged ankles. The only other difficult thing to get off her was her corset, but for now it was fine. He nuzzled the hollow between her breasts with his nose. She smelled so good. It was intoxicating. He kissed his way back up her neck and found her mouth once again.

Relena’s nerve endings were sizzling and popping with sensations. She wanted to feel his skin against hers. Her hands slid down his chest and she began to pull at the ties that held the shirt together. The outer jacket parted easily. She pushed off without breaking their kiss. Her fingers went to work on the other shirt he was wearing. She slid her hands inside the open neck of his shirt feeling his hot skin and hard muscles.

This was driving Heero crazy. His fingers went to work on the laces of the corset. He was very determined to get her out of it. Their mouths continued to ravish each other’s as they struggled to get the other out of their clothing. He didn’t know how he did it, but he succeeded in getting the corset loose enough to slide in down over her hips and to the ground. He picked her up and laid her down on the chaise. He looked down at her. Her eyes were glowing with desire and the love he knew that she felt for him.

She stared up into his Prussian blue eyes. They were looking at her intently. She wanted him. She loved him. "Off," she whispered as she tugged at his shirt.

He complied and tossed his shirt over his head.

Relena reached up and put her hands on his chest. She noted several scars marring his skin. She leaned up and touched her lips to each one.

Heero felt the soft touch of her lips on his skin. The sensation of having her lips on him was almost too much to bear. "Relena," he groaned softly. His eyes closed.

She looked up at him. His eyes were closed. She smiled and kissed the scar closest to his heart. "I hope one never gets this close again," she whispered as she looped her arms around his neck.

"I hope so too," he said with feeling. He couldn’t deny that he had strong feelings for this woman. This beautiful and sexy woman that he had met at fifteen. He slowly leaned down alongside her and kissed her lightly on the mouth. "I know you love me Relena. And I…love you as well," he whispered.

Relena smiled. This made it even better. She wrapped her one leg around his. "I love you Heero," she said. She covered his mouth with hers.

Heero slid his hands over the silk chemise that she had worn under the corset. He could feel the warmth of her skin. He ran his hand down to her thigh. She was wearing thigh high stockings. His hand traveled back up her thigh, under the chemise. His fingers touched nothing but bare skin. He leaned away from her and looked at her with surprise.

Her lips curved into a sultry smile. "Surprise," she said.

He couldn’t help but grin. He kept his eyes on hers and his hand traveled up the inside of her thigh. His fingers encountered the soft curls that covered her mound. His fingers slowly separated her sensitive flesh. He watched her face as he stroked her slowly with his fingers.

Relena couldn’t believe this. His touch was so gentle, so light for one of such immense strength. She sighed his name and closed her eyes. She felt his lips kiss the base of her throat. She felt a rush of heat as his fingers circled over her. "Heero," she groaned softly.

Heero could feel her melting against his fingers. Knowing her to be a virgin since most guys were intimidated by a body guard that was a former Gundam pilot and a brother that had been aptly called the "lightening count." Besides it wasn't like he would let guys get that close to her anyway. He slid one finger inside her, while his thumb continued to brush against that sensitive nubbin of flesh. He slid another finger inside of her, stretching her slightly. He lowered the top of her chemise with his teeth and ran his tongue over her nipples. He sucked on one lightly and then grazed his teeth over them. He heard her whimper a little.

She arched her back, pushing her breast into his mouth and then down on his fingers that were moving inside her. She ran her hands down his side to the waistband of his pants. She tugged on the waistband.

He felt her fingers tugging on his pants. He kissed her lips again and then stood up. His fingers went to the snaps on his pants, but she stopped him. She knelt on the edge of the chaise, her fingers going to the waistband of his pants.

"Let me," Relena said as she looked up at him. Her fingers trembled slightly as she slowly began to undo the snaps.

Heero cupped her cheek in his hand. Her skin was smooth and soft. His own heart was pounding rapidly as she unsnapped his pants. As soon as she was done, he pulled them down and stepped out of them. Since the pants had been so tight he hadn’t been able to wear anything underneath them. He reached out and slipped the chemise over her head. Moonlight spilled through the arch, casting her in heavenly glow. She looked like an angel. "Relena, I love you," he whispered as he knelt down on the chaise next to her. He kissed her deeply, his hands sliding up and down her body. He wanted to be inside her desperately, but he wanted to make sure that this was what she absolutely wanted. He looked into her eyes and saw her reply.

She saw his hesitation and leaned up and kissed him softly on the chin. She had never seen someone built like him in her life. For those few moments when he stood in front of her, he looked like a Greek god. He was all muscle and no fat. She felt his hands slide down her stomach again and slip between her legs. "Heero, please."

He touched her again. She was wet, but he knew it wouldn’t take away any of the pain, no matter how gentle he was with her. He stroked her a little more; knowing every minute that he waited, was driving him to the brink of insanity. He parted her legs and lay between them. He pressed himself against her.

Relena felt him. She could feel how hard he was. She wasn't sure if she was big enough, but she wanted him too much to dwell on that. She felt him slide into her slowly. It was a strange but pleasant sensation. She felt him come against that barrier of resistance and she braced herself somewhat for the pain she knew that might accompany it.

Heero breathed heavily. Every muscle in his body was tight as a wire. He was holding back so much because she was a virgin and because of his enhanced strength. "This might hurt for a second," he whispered against her mouth. She nodded and with one swift push, broke through the virginal barrier. He covered her mouth with his, taking her small scream into his mouth. He didn’t want anyone to hear her. He waited a few minutes, letting her body adjust to his.

Her eyes shut tight. It burned a little, but the pain began to subside slowly. She shifted her hips a little and nearly gasped at the sensation the movement brought her.

His hips began to move slowly. His hands and arms were under her back supporting her and leaning her towards him. He kissed her lightly and then looked down at her, watching her face. She was breathing raggedly through parted lips and her eyes were closed. But her lips were curved into a smile too. He wanted so much to lose himself in her.

Relena wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him deeper inside of her. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. He was watching her. She smiled and kissed him. She moved with him as the tempo of his thrusts began to increase. She felt every nerve in her body sizzling. She could feel the sensations building up to an incredible level.

Heero could feel her body tightening around him. He had never imagined that he would be doing this with the woman that he had always wanted. He pushed harder, still holding himself back a little. He kissed her nose and cheeks.

"Heero," she whispered pleadingly.

He drove into her, giving her what she wanted. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he fought the demands that his own body wanted. He strove to make her come first.

Relena exploded, as she could no longer hold back the sensations any longer. Wave upon wave of pulsating sensations rioted through her body. She cried out his name against his shoulder as her nails dug into his back.

Heero could feel the walls of her body tightening around him. It didn’t take much more for him to climax. He had waited so long for this moment. He cried out her name against her neck. He could feel the sting of her nails on his back. He leaned his head away from her a little and looked at her. He reached up and brushed a strand of her hair away from her face. "I love you," he said hoarsely.

She smiled again. She removed her nails from the lock they had on his back and reached up and cupped his face in her hands. "I love you too Heero."

He moved away from her a little and then pulled her back against his chest. He kissed the back of her neck. He smiled at the way that she had cleverly gotten him to come to the ball. "I’m glad you made me come to the ball. It was worth all the effort."

"I knew that. We all planned it that way. We knew once you guys saw us like this, none of you would be able to resist. I’m probably right too. I love you with all my heart Heero. Stay with me always," Relena said softly.

Heero found a blanket on the end of the chaise and pulled it over them. He pulled her closer in his embrace. "I promise you Relena, that I will always be by your side. I’ll always love you. You have become my reason to live."

Relena smiled and snuggled deeper into his arms. She was right where she wanted to be.
