War And Peace
Chapter 4
Love is Realized
Noin chuckled as he practically dragged her to the jeep. “A little antsy Zechs,” she joked lightly, but in truth she was just as eager as he was. She didn't know how long she would be able to last without him but perhaps the memories of this and last night would help to ease her loneliness. Noin watched as Zechs passed by the base, “Where are we going Zechs?” She watched a smile curve his lips as he said, “You'll see.” Noin sighed and leaned back against the seat, waiting to see his “surprise”. She was surprised when he turned into a hotel parking lot and teasingly said, “Do you need directions or something?” Noin stopped when she saw how serious he was. She gasped as he helped her from the jeep and lifted her into his arms.
Zechs watched as Noin blushed and tried to get him to put her down. He silenced her with a kiss and said, “I need you.” He knew when his words had sunk in when Noin's eyes darkened. He carefully made his way into the hotel and up to their room. Before opening the door he kissed the column of neck exposed to him and whispered, “Close your eyes Lucrezia.” Zechs opened the door slowly and was taken back by the sight of the room. The hotel staff had followed his instructions to a tee. The room was filled with candles and white roses. He smiled as he heard Noin sigh and whispered in her ear, “Open your eyes Lucrezia.” Zechs watched as her mouth dropped open in shock and smiled down at her when she looked back at him. He leaned forward and kissed her as he made his way towards the bed. Candles surrounded it too and in the sheets rose petals were strewn around.
Noin trembled as Zechs gently put her down. She moaned as he kissed her neck and fumbled with the zipper at the back of her dress. Noin felt the dress as it slid down her body and looked into the darkened azure eyes of her lover as he breathed her name. She reached forward and drew his head down to hers and kissed him deeply. Noin parted her lips and moaned as Zechs' tongue slid against hers; his hands lightly caressing her waist and hips. She removed her hands from his long hair and began unbuttoning his shirt. Soon they were naked and Noin felt Zechs' arms around her, picking her up and gently laying her on the bed. She looked up at him as she felt a small foil package pressed into her hand, “In case I forget.” Noin tossed the package across the room and said softly, “It doesn't matter Zechs… I want to feel you inside me, no barriers just you.” She watched as Zechs' brow creased in worry and she rose up to pull him down to her, “I love you Milliardo.” Noin watched as Zechs eyes widened in surprise and fearing his next words Noin pressed her lips against his, silencing whatever he was going to say. She put all the love and passion she had ever felt for him in that kiss and was surprised when he returned it tenfold.
Zechs pressed her back against the bed, kissing her, as her words played over and over in his head. She loved him and he wanted to tell her he felt the same, but he held back. He didn't deserve her and wouldn't until the war was over. He gentled the kiss and whispered against her lips as he moved his hands up to cup her full breasts, “I want you Lucrezia.” Zechs looked into Noin's eyes as he caressed her breasts, surprised when he felt her hands on his face, pulling him back down to her. He shook his head free and planted soft kisses down the smooth column of neck. Zechs kissed his way to her breasts and groaned as he nuzzled the soft skin, drinking in her scent, as he tasted her. He drew one of the taut nipples in his mouth, suckling hard as Noin writhed beneath him. His other hand drifted down the muscled stomach and cupped her heat gently. She was already wet for him. Zechs kissed his way down her stomach, determined to taste her orgasm this time. He lowered his head between her legs and nuzzled his lips against her thigh. She smelled of roses, vanilla and something that was indescribably her. Zechs groaned and kissed his way to her center. He blew his breath out and was surprised when she gasped in pleasure. He smiled against her heat and blew again; her body writhed beneath him. Zechs teased the moist slit with his tongue and bit her gently.
Noin moaned loudly as he worked his fingers into her. “Oh yes Milliardo,” she cried out as he used his tongue to tease her clit, all the while moving his fingers in and out of her. Noin reached her hand down and held his head against her as she raised her legs, hooking them over his broad shoulders. She cried out as his tongue stroked her faster and tried to stop him before he pushed her over the edge. “Zechs please I want you inside me… please,” she begged as he resisted her attempt to pull him away. Noin felt as well as heard his low laugh; the gentle vibrations sent her hurtling over the edge and she screamed as wave after wave of pleasure coursed through her body.
Zechs felt the squeeze of her inner walls as she came and he lowered his mouth to lap and suckle at the juices that were flowing from her. His body ached with the need to bury his self inside her but he wanted to give her a chance to please him. Zechs kissed his way up Noin's body smiling as she sighed contently. He looked up when he felt her hand on his face, “So what now love?” Zechs smiled and kissed her gently, “What ever you want Lucrezia.” He smiled as Noin pushed him back against the sheets. He gasped as she leaned over him and closed his eyes in pleasure as she began licking and nipping at his neck.
Noin smiled as Zechs groaned beneath her and fought the urge to pull him on top of her. She wanted to please him, to make him feel what he had made her feel. She wanted to taste him as he had tasted her and nothing he did would stop her. Noin brushed her lips across his tiny nipple and laughed as he arched up against her mouth. She nipped his sensitive flesh and moved her kisses down his muscled abdomen. Noin sighed, as she tasted him, she liked this reversal of roles and planned to make the most of it. She hurriedly planted light kisses the rest of the way down his stomach and nuzzled her lips against his engorged manhood. She ran her tongue up and down him, listening to his strained breathing and groans of pleasure, and slowly sucked the tip of him into her mouth.
Zechs cried out as his erection was enveloped by the warm wetness of Noin's mouth. “Yes… oh gods yes Noin,” he moaned as she took more of him into her mouth, her teeth lightly grazing his skin, sending off incredible sparks of pleasure. Zechs was close to release and tried to push Noin away but he only succeeded in causing the suction of her mouth to increase. His hands gripped her hair as her mouth slid even further down his shaft. He closed his eyes, panting, as she moved her mouth up and down his length. Zechs groaned and let his hands fall to the bedspread. As he gripped the sheets and rose petals he accepted his fate and let go.
Noin heard his low groan and was startled as he came in a warm rush inside her mouth. She swallowed instinctively and moved back. She hadn't expected so much from him and she leaned back down to lap at the rest of the white liquid flowing from the tip of him. Noin sighed as she licked him clean, laughing as she felt him hardening beneath her lips. She sat up and looked at the pleased expression on his handsome face. His brilliant blue eyes were half closed and a small smile curved the forever-sardonic lips. She leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth gently before settling down against him. “That was different,” she commented quietly as she felt his hand stroking her back. Noin felt Zechs' lips graze her forehead and she looked up at him. “Thank you Noin, that was incredible… you are incredible,” he said softly before kissing her. She felt her body throbbing to life as he gently ate at her lips. She lay back against the pillows as he leaned over her. Noin gazed up at the man above her as he pressed close to her, his arousal against her thigh. She arched against him as he trailed his hands down her body, caressing her gently.
Zechs smiled at the moistness between her legs as he explored her body. He wanted to make love to her the rest of the night and was anxious to be inside her. He looked down at the beautiful woman beneath him and felt his heart swell with a mixture of love and tenderness. He wanted this night to reassure her that he cared for her because he knew this would be the last time he could show it for a long time. Zechs bent his head and rested it on her shoulder, “Are you sure you don't want me to use anything Lucrezia?” He felt her hand on his cheek urging him to look at her and when he did he saw the amused smile on her face, “Milliardo I hate repeating myself… there is no need for it I'm on the pill and besides I want to feel you in me.” Zechs couldn't stop the smile that curved his lips and kissed her gently. He reached his hands down and gently spread her thighs. He entered her slowly, sighing as he felt Noin's tight heat clenching around him. He inched in until he was as deep as he could be before pulling back. He repeated the movement again and again as he whispered love words, sex words, explicit instructions in her ear; urging her to move against him. Zechs groaned when he felt her long legs wrap around his hips, urging him to go faster.
Noin tilted her head back against the pillows and moaned as his voice surrounded her, “So tight, wet… incredible… Lucrezia… you… are… so… beautiful.” The last word was hissed through his clenched teeth as she came. Noin could feel his muscles tense beneath her hands as she writhed beneath him. She could feel him as he continued to thrust inside her, each one deep and slow. She gasped as his head dropped down to her chest and he caught one of her nipples between his lips. Noin tangled her hands through his hair as she tried to bring his head back up to her, but abandoned her task as he reached up and gripped her hands in his. A groan escaped her lips as he brought her hands above her head and held them there. She could feel her body tightening as he increased his pace, the force of his thrusts moving her up the bed until her head rested against the headboard.
Zechs shuddered as Noin's cries of pleasure filled his ears and groaned as he felt her body clench his, pulling at him; almost pushing him over the edge. His forehead was drenched in sweat and his body ached desperately for release. Zechs buried his head in her shoulder groaning as her juices caused them to glide together faster. He panted and pulled out of her.
Noin gasped as she felt him leave her and opened her eyes in shock, “Why?” He didn't answer instead she felt his hands on her waist turning her around. Noin froze, wondering what was next. She gasped as she felt him pressing against her and she moaned as he entered her. She could feel his hands gripping her buttocks as he rocked inside of her. Noin closed her eyes as he slid deeper and deeper inside of her, “Oh gods Milliardo… please don't stop.” She pushed back against him as he thrust forward and was surprised when he sat back, bringing her to sit on his lap.
Zechs was still and groaned as he slid into her up to the hilt. He gently moved his hands up her body and laced his fingers with hers. He brought them up around his neck as he kissed the side of her ear, tracing the sensitive shell with his tongue. Zechs left her hands around his neck as he placed his around her waist and gently rocked her against him. The small movement greatly tested his self-control and he moaned in pleasure as he felt Noin's fingers grip his hair. Zechs gently pulled her away from him and turned her to face him. “Oh God Lucrezia… I can't wait anymore,” he whispered hoarsely as he laid her back against the sheets. He spread her thighs and paused, drinking a sight that no man but him had seen. Zechs leaned forward and rested his weight on his elbows as he entered her for a third and final time. They moved together as one now and Zechs struggled for the control to wait for her.
Noin wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply. She moaned into his mouth as he quickened his pace; she could feel her body tightening. Noin tilted her head back as her body exploded with pleasure. She rode the waves of pleasure that tripled when Zechs moaned one last time and joined her. Noin felt his hot seed filling her and she kissed him as he collapsed on her. He rolled to the side taking her with him and she nestled her head in the crook of his shoulder. She smiled as he pulled her closer to him and sighed sleepily. She was startled at the thickness of his baritone voice as he whispered, “I'm sorry I didn't make it last longer but thank you Noin for this night.” Noin tilted her head back and kissed him, then she buried her head against him and let sleep over take her.
Zechs smiled slightly as he heard her breathing even out. He looked down at the raven-haired beauty beside him and sighed. He wouldn't sleep tonight instead he wanted to watch her and memorize the feel of her in his arms. The memories they made tonight would have to sustain him until they could be together again, and there was no telling when that would be. In fact he couldn't even allow his affection for her to show because if any of his enemies discovered her he would never forgive his self if something happened to her. He didn't expect her to understand so he wasn't going to tell her, he could only hope that this night would serve as a reminder of his feelings for her.
The morning came too early for Noin as she stirred awake. She was surprised to find Zechs already dressed. She yawned and playfully pulled away when he tried to kiss her. “Not yet… morning breath,” she said and would have said more but she was silenced by his lips. As she pulled away she asked shakily, “When do you have to go Zechs?” He didn't answer her instead he pulled her into his arms, hugging her to him. Noin wrapped her arms around him, and sighed as she felt his hand moving in circles around her back. “I'll never forget you, you know that…I need your support and friendship more than anything.” she heard him whisper into her hair. Noin bit her lip and fought the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes, “I'll always be here for you Milliardo.” She felt his fingers under her chin, tilting her face up to his.
Zechs searched the dark blue eyes and leaned forward for another kiss. He longed to fall back into bed with her and stay that way for the rest of his life but apparently fate had a different sort of plan for them. He pulled away regretfully and against her lips whispered, “Good-bye Noin… take care ok.” With that said Zechs turned away and walked out of the door.
Noin watched as the door shut and thought it appropriate; not only had he walked out of the room but he had very literally walked out of her life as well. She was disappointed at his good-bye, he could have at least told her that he loved her but it was too late for that. Noin showered and dressed quickly; already her heart ached for him but she was going to have to take it one day at a time. She made her way back to the base in the jeep he had left for her and sighed as she entered the head instructor's office; back to work.
Zechs watched the ground growing smaller as the small plane took him further from where he wanted to be. He sighed as he checked his laptop for his new assignment; he was to report directly to Treize at the Oz headquarters. As he leaned his head back against the seat, he closed his eyes and groaned as visions of Noin assaulted him. Zechs could still see her, as she was last night, open and waiting for him; her eyes begging for release. He sighed resigned to the images that would serve to remind him that he was still worthy of love. His dreams would be the closest he would be able to be to her and he hoped that they would both survive the war. Her smile was the last thing he remembered as sleep took over and one of his own lingered on his lips.
