Chapter 3 - Impulses

{Author’s Note: This chapter is dedicated to C.C. (the kind reviewer, not the character). Finally, a sex scene! This is what you were all waiting for, right? This chapter officially earns the Be My Knight saga a “Warm And Fuzzy Feelings” (WAFF) tag. I recommend listening to “Must Be Dreaming” by Frou Frou while reading this chapter. Further notes at the end. Enjoy, and please provide feedback! RATE and/or REVIEW, please!}


Euphemia paused, her hand raised to knock on the door of Suzaku’s quarters. What if he’s asleep? Maybe he’s busy. It really is rude of me to keep showing up unannounced like this. Despite her doubts, Euphie couldn’t help smiling when she thought back over the past two weeks. She’d been by to visit Suzaku at every chance she could find, make, or steal, just showing up at his door disguised as a Special Corps leftenant.

The amazing thing, Euphie thought to herself, was that Suzaku had never once complained. On the contrary, he always seemed very happy to see her. They had enjoyed long talks about all sorts of things, often while cuddled together in Suzaku’s bunk. And the kissing was nice too. A tiny shiver ran down Euphemia’s spine, as it did every time she thought of it. Simply lying in his arms was still a novel and wondrous experience for her.

Suzaku was so strong, but so gentle. Euphie could feel the steely cords of muscle beneath his skin any time she touched him, and he could pick her up and twirl her around like a feather. But the way he touched her—such tenderness! He treated her so gently; as if he was afraid of hurting her if he hugged too hard. Which he might, Euphie reflected with a mental giggle.

The brisk stride of a trooper passing behind her on his way down the corridor broke Euphemia’s reverie, leaving her with the same dilemma of whether to knock on Suzaku’s door at this late hour. After a few seconds of hesitation, Euphie compromised by knocking softly. Her hope was that he would hear her if awake, but not if asleep.

Nothing. Euphie knocked again quietly. Still nothing. I guess he’s asleep. Oh well, I’ll come back tomorrow—wait. A mischievous little idea coalesced in the back of Euphemia’s mind, and her hand slipped into her skirt pocket, fingering her ID card. Her *real* ID card, which could override the lock on any door in this base. Being the Sub-Viceroy had its perks. She could just swipe it through Suzaku’s door lock and enter quietly. But should she?

Probably not, Euphie decided, but she was going to do it anyway. She really needed Suzaku’s company tonight, more so than most. A series of dreadfully useless meetings and a barrage of half a dozen would-be suitors interspersed through the day had left Euphemia emotionally drained and ready to cry. Just to spend time with Suzaku, even if he was asleep—that’s all she wanted. Somehow all the nonsense melted away whenever she was with him.

Euphemia inhaled deeply, let it out slowly, and swiped her card through Suzaku’s lock, punching in her override code. The door hissed open silently. Euphie stepped into his quarters as quietly as possible, instantly spotting her love sound asleep in his bunk. Suzaku was lying on his back with arms outstretched, snoring softly. Euphie was unable to suppress a quiet giggle at how cute he looked.

Keying the door shut behind her, the princess stood there for many minutes, just watching Suzaku sleep. The sight soothed her nerves and helped her whole body relax. Dearest Suzaku… he didn’t even have to do anything to make her feel better. He was lying on top of the covers in the plain white tank and shorts that most male soldiers favored as underwear.

As she ran her eyes up and down Suzaku’s sleeping figure, Euphie began to feel quite warm. For a moment she thought the room’s environment unit was broken. Then she realized that the heat was coming from between her legs, spreading outwards to her entire body. Euphemia had been aroused before, of course, and had experimented a fair bit with self-stimulation. Nothing had ever felt like this, though. Her body was on fire, and the urge to just hop into bed with her sleeping lover and stay there became overwhelming.

It’s settled then. I’ll spend the night. Nobody will miss me until tomorrow afternoon, anyway. A tiny part of her mind told her that she wasn’t thinking clearly, but she shushed it. Euphie turned and swiped her card through the inside terminal of the door, punching in an override locking code. Now nobody in the country could interrupt them except her sister Cornelia, and she had no reason to come looking. Hopefully.

With the outside world safely sealed away, Euphemia stripped down, draping her uniform neatly over one of the chairs flanking the small table. She laid her prescription-less glasses aside and released her long fuchsia hair from its bun. Clad only in her white silk bra and panties, she crawled onto Suzaku’s bunk, slipping into the open space between his body and the wall and snuggling into his warmth. Suzaku’s arm came down from over his head and wrapped around her shoulders, sending a little thrill of pleasure down Euphie’s back. She let her eyes flutter closed, savoring Suzaku’s presence. Her hand idly stroked his chest and side through the thin cotton of his tank top.

A minute later, Euphie let out a tiny peep of surprise as she felt Suzaku shift slightly. His lips pressed against her hair as he softly kissed the crown of her head. Euphie opened her eyes and looked up at her lover, only to see that his eyes were still closed despite the happy smile on his face. Then Suzaku’s lips parted and he murmured “Euphie…” in the dreamiest, most love-struck voice she had ever heard.

It was too much. Euphie squirmed out from under Suzaku’s arm and swung her leg over his body, straddling him. She felt his manhood pressing against her through the thin cotton of his shorts and began to rub herself back and forth against it. A soft smile graced Euphie’s lips as she felt him grow and harden beneath her. She laid her body down along Suzaku’s and cradled his face in her small hands, feeling the beginnings of stubble on his smooth skin.

Euphemia just lay there for many minutes, examining every aspect of her sleeping lover’s face. He’s so handsome—and he’s all mine! She thought, letting out a quiet, gleeful giggle. She leaned down to claim his lips with her own, kissing Suzaku slowly and deeply. He responded eagerly in his sleep, kissing back with that genuine sweetness Euphie adored. Suzaku’s hand came up to stroke her hair, his movements awkward and sleepy. Euphie let her eyes flutter closed.

When she reopened them many minutes later, it was to the sight of Suzaku’s pale green eyes gazing back into hers. He looked very confused, and Euphie honestly couldn’t blame him. As she smiled down at him, she saw Suzaku reach a hand up and pinch his own neck. Apparently satisfied that he wasn’t dreaming, Suzaku reached up and stroked Euphie’s hair for a moment. Then he buried his fingers in its strands and pulled her down into a passionate kiss.

The two kissed hungrily, their hands almost clawing at each other in the consuming heat of the moment. Lust flooded their minds, primal instincts shoving rational thought aside. Clothes seemed to vanish of their own accord. Soon Euphie was grinding herself hard against Suzaku, who responded in kind.

His arms wrapped around Euphie. He rolled over, taking control. A slight shift of bodies. His lips locked with hers. Her hand came down to guide him. Simultaneous gasps. A soft cry of pain. And they were one.

A pulse of pain rolled through Euphie’s body as her maidenhead broke. She let out a little whimper and wrapped her arms tighter around Suzaku, pressing her face into his shoulder. He began whispering sweet nothings into her ear, his hands caressing her bare back. Euphie focused on the sound of Suzaku’s voice, letting the pain flow through her without resistance. It reached the ends of her body and kept going, flowing out of her.

As the pain dissipated, Euphie felt a new and wonderful sensation. She felt full, complete. She felt Suzaku inside of her. This discovery triggered a rush of sheer joy, and Euphie turned her head to kiss his neck hungrily. She squeezed experimentally with her nether muscles, smiling as it drew a gasp of pleasure from her handsome lover.

Euphie squeezed again, and Suzaku began to move in response. He braced himself and began moving slowly, drawing himself out of her. Euphie’s mewl of disappointment became a squeak of surprise as he sank deeply into her once more. Suzaku soon found a steady rhythm, and his slow, deliberate pace stoked the fire burning through Euphie’s slim body. She needed it faster, stronger. She needed more of him. Euphie began to flex her inner muscles once again, clenching down on Suzaku as he hit bottom and drew himself out. Then she relaxed to let him drive home once more.

Friction built steadily between them, and sweat began to drip onto the covers. Euphie wrapped her legs around Suzaku’s and began lifting her hips up to meet his thrusts. Euphie caught Suzaku’s lips, kissing him with primal passion. Their eyes reached out to each other. The pace of their movements quickened, slowly at first then ever faster. Little cries of pleasure and the sound of heavy breathing filled the warm air around them.

At last something snapped deep inside Euphie. A white-hot tide of ecstasy burst between her legs, taking the astonished princess completely by surprise. Her vision misted over and her back arched high. Soft lips parted to let a scream of joy pass. Euphie’s body clenched reflexively upon Suzaku’s, triggering his climax as well. His eyes went wide as he gave a similar cry of bliss. What little remained of Euphie’s mind felt jet after jet of warmth shoot deep into her core.

The moment collapsed and so did the young lovers, sinking down into the bed in a tangled heap. Suzaku summoned enough energy to roll the pair onto their sides. They lay there in each other’s arms, completely spent.

*****

That was such a nice dream… it felt so real, too! Suzaku blinked a few times as he gradually came awake. He realized there was something very soft and warm pressed against him. Glancing down, he started slightly to see Euphie curled up next to him, her mouth curving in the happiest smile he had ever seen. Guess I wasn’t dreaming after all. Wow. Suzaku couldn’t help smiling as well at the beautiful sight she made.

Suzaku sat up and took hold of the covers folded neatly at the foot of his bunk, drawing them up over himself and Euphie. As he lay back down he wrapped his arms around his sleeping lover, holding her close and kissing her forehead tenderly. How on earth can I possibly deserve you, Euphie? Suzaku mused to himself.

How long they lay like that Suzaku couldn’t tell and didn’t care. Eventually, Euphie began to stir in his arms. Her stunning violet eyes fluttered open and focused on his face. “Hi,” she said softly with an impish smile.

“Hi,” Suzaku replied with a crooked grin. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then burst out laughing. “What happened to the controlled, untouchable Princess Euphemia?” Suzaku asked teasingly, caressing her arm.

“Oh, she stepped out for a bit. There’s a girl filling in. A girl who just wants to be with the boy she loves,” Euphie replied with that playful look, leaning up to kiss Suzaku tenderly on the cheek.

The young couple snuggled closer, whispering endearments to each other and enjoying the afterglow, which seemed in no hurry to dissipate. In time nothing more remained to be said and they fell silent.

Suddenly Suzaku sat bolt upright in the bunk, breaking free of Euphie’s arms. The covers spilled down, exposing both of them above the waist. “Oh my God! What if you get pregnant?!” He looked down with a panicked expression and then just stopped.

Euphie just lay there, gazing back at him with an angelic smile on her face. “One word, love: contraceptive,” she replied softly, reaching up to stroke his arm.

Suzaku’s expression relaxed, then became inquisitive. “So… you planned this.”

Euphie shook her head slightly, the smile never leaving her face. “No, Suzaku. I just came over to spend some time with you. But you spoke in your sleep… said you loved me… and I just couldn’t help myself. I—I wanted you. More than anything else in the whole world. You’re all I want, ever.” The placid, matter-of-fact expression on Euphie’s face lent her tender words even greater weight.

Suzaku lay back down, and the two shared a gentle kiss. “But if you weren’t planning this, why are you on a contraceptive regimen?” Suzaku asked Euphie curiously as he pulled the covers back up over them.

“It’s customary. Every woman of rank starts when she gets her first period and doesn’t stop until she marries,” Euphie replied absently, running her fingers through Suzaku’s tangled brown hair. “Now I understand why,” she added with a giggle. “There’s never a shortage of handsome men around. Friends, servants, bodyguards…” She kissed the tip of Suzaku’s nose affectionately. “In any case, I’d be happy to have your baby if it came to that.”

Suzaku made a little choking sound. He had never even thought about being a father someday. The idea scared him far more than combat ever had. “I think we might want to wait on that,” he replied carefully, trying neither to offend nor to lie to his lady.

His lady giggled again and pressed a little closer. “I know, love. I’m not ready either. But if I was…” she sat up on one elbow, looking down at Suzaku with a decidedly lustful expression. “…I’d want to make a serious effort at it.” Her hand slid down his body.

Suzaku moaned quietly as her fingers closed around him. His eyes fluttered closed for a moment, then reopened and looked up at her. They held a simple question: Again?

Euphemia answered with a nod and a loving smile. She closed her eyes and laughed with pure joy as Suzaku wrapped his strong arms around her and rolled her onto her back.


{More Author’s Note: I hope this makes up for the short chapter last week! I also hope the tone of romance and magic that I tried to set comes through properly. Reading back over the actual sex, I can’t help wondering if I’m really “refraining from writing the sticky details” or just writing them in a more elegant style than most. I would honestly prefer to just imply the sex entirely, but since I’m posting this on AFF.net, I feel somewhat obligated to include a good sex scene. This has also been a great challenge to me as a writer, which alone makes it a worthwhile exercise.

I realize that this is written mostly from Euphie’s perspective. I’m honestly not sure why that is, but that’s the way it turned out. I’ll try to get more into Suzaku’s head next chapter! My editor also commented repeatedly on the sappiness of the chapter. I know it’s sappy, romance is like that. That’s why I’m adding a WAFF tag to the story. If you don’t like it, I can only shrug. It’s just how the story’s turning out.

Incidentally, I know that most virgin couples botch things pretty badly the first time they have sex. However, in the interest of storytelling we're going to assume that Suzaku and Euphie aren't most couples. Okay? ^^

Also, I’m told that most women don’t find penetration itself to be very stimulating. I don’t know if that’s true, but if it is then once again I’m sacrificing accuracy in the interest of storytelling.

Muchos gracias to my alpha readers, JG and Blubutterfly!

I think that’s about it. See you next week! Same Angel time, same Angel channel!}
