Epilogue
Heero Yuy hunched over his laptop, rapidly striking
the keys, reading the information rolling down the screen with intense
concentration.
“What are you looking at?”
Relena Darlian’s soft voice was a welcome
interruption.
“The news reports.
The various reactions to our plan to keep you alive are .. interesting.”
“You mean your plan.”
“Hn.” Heero
refused to take the credit. Too many people
worked with him to make it happen.
Heero caught a flicker of movement out of the
corner of his eye.
Relena stretched her arms above her head and
rotated her back, stretching the front of her formal pantsuit across her
chest.
Heero felt his heart starting to pound faster.
He closed the computer and placed it on a side
table before standing up and approaching her.
“Heero ..”
Relena glanced at him and was startled by his feral grin. She backed up. “What are you .. doing?”
“Stalking you.”
He continued to advance toward her, forcing her into a corner.
“Why?” She
sounded breathless, her eyes wide.
Heero put his hands on the wall on either side of
her head, caging her in.
“Because I want you.”
Relena stared at him, mesmerized by the primitive
expression on his face.
“I ..”
He covered her mouth with his, cutting off whatever
she was going to say, thrusting his tongue inside. He pressed her up against the wall, deliberately pushing his
erection into her soft stomach. Relena
moaned and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Heero felt surrounded by her. Her scent, her soft skin and the sounds she
made in the back of her throat, all served to increase his heart rate and
breathing. He was completely out of
control.
He picked her up, carrying her to the bed and laid
her down on it without breaking their kiss or letting go. With jerky motions he tore off her clothes,
followed by his own, needing with a desperation he didn’t understand to be
inside her.
He took a nipple in his mouth as he tested her and
she arched against his hand. He pulled
his fingers away and pushed himself inside.
He didn’t stop until he was all the way in.
Shaking, he held himself still for several long
moments, rejoicing in the feeling of her surrounding him, cradling him, loving
him. Slowly he moved, making them both
shudder with the primordial pleasure of it, speeding up only when he couldn’t
take the measured pace anymore.
He thrust into her, harder and harder, until she
screamed in orgasm. That sent him over
the edge and he came with an intensity that had him nearly blacking out.
Long minutes later, Heero rolled off her, tucking
her in close to his body, unwilling to let her go yet. He didn’t think he would ever be able to let
go.
Relena nuzzled his neck. “What was that all about?”
“Hn?”
“The way you made love to me, it was like the first
time. Intense.”
Her question hung in the air, and like before he
didn’t know how to answer her. Unlike
before he knew he had to try.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
The tone of her voice told him she knew there was more to it than that.
Heero stroked his hand down her body. “I don’t know what should happen next.”
“What do you want to happen?”
“I want .. to be with you.”
“That’s what I want to.” Relena idly ran a finger in a circle on his chest. “Where do you live Heero?”
“In a small apartment near Preventers Headquarters,
but I’m not there much. I often sleep
at Preventers, in whatever office I’m using.”
“You don’t have an office of your own?”
“No, I’d rather not be that easy to find.”
“Oh.” Her
finger stopped its lazy dance.
He cleared his throat. “It occurs to me that you’re too easy to find.”
“What?”
“Anyone who has a grudge against you knows where to
look. All your activities are scheduled
and you live in this big house.”
“Yes?”
“Maybe we could help each other out.”
Relena propped herself up on one elbow, smiling in a
way that made the lump in his throat fade away to nothing. “What did you have in mind?”
“Ah, I might be able to keep your enemies guessing
if I lived with you and kept at least some of your activities off the
schedule.”
Her fingers took up their lazy dance across his
chest again. “Won’t that make it too
easy for just anyone to find you?”
Heero met her amused gaze. “I won’t make it easy for anyone, but you.”
Relena’s smile lit up her face. “Sounds like a good plan to me.”
“I’ve got another good plan.” Heero relaxed his face into a grin, letting
himself enjoy the feeling of belonging to someone.
“Oh, what’s that?”
Heero rolled her beneath him, feathering kisses over
her. “Let me show you. It goes like this ...”
