Noin stared out the window. It was a beautiful night. The moon was full, and other then a few clouds, the sky was clear. She blew out the candle at the bedside table and was about to crawl into bed when the door swung open and about three or four maids carrying candles and various items stormed in.
"Hey!" exclaimed Noin, "What's going on here? I was about to go to bed and you just..." The maids bustled about the room, stoking the fire and setting candles so that the room was much brighter. "The master of this household has requested your presence." said the elder of the maids, looking at her sternly, "We have come to make sure you are decent enough to be received by him." Noin felt an angry blush spread across her cheeks as the maid looked at her.
The activity continued in a feverish manner around the room. Without warning, Noin was stripped down to her undergarments and various articles of clothing were handed to her. Garters and stockings first, followed by the large lace petticoat. One of the maids moved behind her, gathering the strings of the corset in her hands and giving a hard tug, tightening her waist to an almost painfully small size.
The large white and gold coloured gown followed. The maids carefully slipped it over her, arranging skirts and the folds of the sleeves. Cream coloured bows adorned the elbows of the sleeves before cascading in bouts of white lace. A pearl neck lace was slipped over her neck and a maid busily put together the gold clasp at the back. "What's happening? Why am I being requested now?" Noin asked the older maid who was attentively supervising the tasks of the others. "A victory dinner, for Treize Khusranada" said the maid, not really paying attention to what she was saying, "Milliardo Peacecraft has requested your attendance."
With his name brought up it brought back memories of the early evening. 'So that's why he was bathing' she thought, blushing at the memory of how they hadn't even made it to a bed, making love on the wet tiles of the bathing room floor. Noin's mind returned back to the present as she was told to sit down on one of the footstools. A maid slipped on a pair of white slippers, trimmed with gold onto her feet before lending a hand to help her up.
Noin regretted the decision. As soon as she stood, she was rushed to a vanity table and seated before it as small hands powdered her face, rouged her lips and traced her eyelids with a kohl pencil. A beautiful fan was given to her. Starched lace was sewn to the ends of the paper and there was a beautiful painting of roses on it.
The maids filed out the door. Only the older one stayed. "I'll show you to his study." she said before walking out into the hallway. Noin followed quickly.

Zechs leaned back in the desk facing the huge bay window that gave a beautiful view to the garden below. The trees had been decorated with clear lights, leading the way to the front doors of the grand mansion. Guests were starting to arrive, mortal and immortal alike. To celebrate the peace that there great leader had brought them. 'With the cost of innocents lives' he thought bitterly.
Zechs was brought out of his sour mood by the sound of a sharp rapping on the paneled doors. On of the maids opened the doors, only to be followed by the most magnificent women. Noin stood in the middle of the room. Her eyes shyly meeting his. She adverted them and he saw her face flush. He felt her thoughts, she was thinking of the early evening. He saw them in her mind, on the bathing room floor.
"Lucrezia," he startled her out of her reminiscing. "I'm glad you could come. You look absolutely beautiful." he smiled gently in her direction and dismissed the maid. "The dress suits you perfectly." She smiled as he approached her. "You slay me with compliments." she said teasingly as he pulled her close. "Only because you deserve them."
She was nervous about something, anxious. He could sense it. "What's wrong Lucrezia." he questioned. "Hmm...I'm not quite sure myself," she said softly, "Maybe just nervous about meeting Treize." His hands moved in slow circles down her back. "Well, don't' be. He's a very interesting man, I'm sure you'll get along well." She wasn't troubled anymore, her mind kept flipping back to the scene in the bathing room. "You liked that, did you? In the bathing room." he chuckled.
"How did you...?" Noin asked, startled. His fingers trailed down her cheek, brushing against her lips. He brought both hands up, cupping her face. "I know.." he whispered before sealing her lips with his. His hands moved down to her shoulders, running his palms against the smooth skin. She whimpered as his mouth trailed down her neck, sucking gently at the juncture of where shoulder met neck. His hands slid down to her waist, grinding her against him, as his mouth made it's way lower, pressing open mouthed kisses to the top of her breasts. She moaned as he pressed her back against the desk, rubbing against her. His mouth made it's way back to her neck as his hands delved into her corset. Noin moaned as he kissed her again, hot and insistent. His tongue sliding against hers. His hands quickly moved to her hips, seating her on the desk. Again came the shower of kisses to her face, neck, and breasts.
One of his hands made it's way slowly underneath the folds of taffeta and lace. Noin groaned as his lips attacked hers again and his hand caressed her thigh. Her arms twined themselves around his neck to hold him to her as the kiss became more passionate. His lips slid from hers. Tracing her jawline and down to her neck. He placed hot, wet kisses against her neck as his hand continued to caress her strong thigh.
Noin let her head fall back as his trail of kisses came to her collarbone. She opened her eyes. 'Ah! This feels so good. So this is what it feels like. The petite morte....little death....' Noin looked down to see Zechs looking up mischievously at her as he sampled the taste of skin. Her eyes opened wide in surprise as his fingers brushed against the most intimate part of her. Her eyes squeezed shut and her head fell back as he continued to pleasure her.
Zechs groaned against her neck. 'So tight and wet...'. He wanted her again. On the floor, on the desk, he didn't care. Vampiric hearing alerted him that someone was walking down the head. "A maid" he thought. He removed his fingers from her and laid her out on the desk. She was blushing again. Always blushing.
There was a sharp knock on the door.
