Thank you lanaker, Nuzha, Fee-Sans-Age and RiverRush21 for reviewing the story! I saw it in the morning and that just made my day.
Due to not knowing where to stop/cut to end the chapter, this long-ass chapter came out. Nonetheless, enjoy!
P.S. I should probably rename the title to 'Of baby dolls and undercover'
Chapter 3
Roy woke up to the lack of warmness and the smell of pancakes. He yawned and stretched out his arms and glanced at the alarm clock on the counter. 8:00. That was certainly one the best sleeps he's ever had.
He then recalled the events from last night, where he tried to take Riza right there and then on her couch, if it weren't for Black Hayate, that little mutt… He sighed. He cursed; maybe it was a bit too soon for that. He was simply excited, for being able to be with Riza for a long period of time, as a married couple. And damn, he missed the feeling of her lips on his.
He walked out of the bedroom and into the living room to see Riza, still in her pajamas, in the open room kitchen, setting a pancake on to a plate while humming happily to herself.
"Good morning." She said, turning around to smile at him. Her trained ears must've heard him walking into the living, he thought to himself. "We still have three hours till the train departs, so we still have time for breakfast. You don't mind pancakes, do you?"
He returned the smile. "Morning, Ri-Elizabeth." He then drawled. "No, I don't mind pancakes." I wouldn't mind anything as long as you made them, he wanted to add. He sat down; resting his elbows on the dining table, and stared at her.
"You're staring." She pointed and placed the pancakes in front of him. "Coffee?"
"Yes please." He then chuckled, "No man can resist staring at you, dear."
She muttered an ass-kisser under her breath, and poured the coffee into two mugs, and then handed him one. "Already into character, General?"
He scowled. "Yes, yes; don't ruin the lovey-dovey mood, Colonel Hawkeye."
It was her turn to chuckle. "Well, I'm sorry, darling."
After they ate in silence, Roy changed back into his outfit from the night before, then Riza shooed him away when the clock struck nine. He stood beside the door and grinned teasingly. "No goodbye kiss for your husband?"
She rolled her eyes. "I'm seeing you in less than two hours, I'd hardly call this goodbye."
"Well I'm not leaving until you give me one." He huffed, and Riza scoffed. What a child, she thought.
She tiptoed, placed her hands on his shoulder and planted a kiss on his cheek. She let go and asked. "Happy now?"
"That does not count!" Roy protested.
"A kiss is a kiss, whether it's on the cheeks or on the lips." She crossed her arms. "Just go, Roy."
He ignored her and gripped a hand around her arm, and yanked her towards him, making her gasp in surprise. And then he pressed his lips against hers, while cradling her head with the other hand. He then plunged his tongue into her mouth when she opened it to protest, and deepened the kiss.
They pulled away when they felt the lack of oxygen, panting slightly. She huffed, "You better be happy now."
"Mm-hmm!" He smiled in satisfaction, and placed one last peck on her lips. "I'll see you in a bit, Elizabeth."
She waved and gave a helpless smile.
"Thanks a lot, Rebecca." Riza smiled as she handed Hayate and his things to her best friend. "I honestly have no idea how long I'd be gone for."
"Am I supposed to feel bad for you, Colonel Riza Hawkeye?" Rebecca retorted. "After all these years of joining the military, I'm only a Captain! And I'm almost turning thirty!"
"You're still nine months away from being thirty, Becca." Riza deadpanned. "And aren't you Führer Grumman's adjutant?"
"I did not volunteer for that! To be that perverted old man's… Do you have any idea, how many times he has sexually harassed me?"
Riza chuckled. "He's just fooling around. Be nice to him, Becca." She grinned a Cheshire one, "I heard that he's planning to promote a certain Captain Catalina."
Rebecca gasped. "Really!? When!?"
"Who knows?" Riza chuckled and looked at her watch. "I've got to go now, Becca. I'll see you after I come back."
Rebecca wrapped her arms tightly around Riza and she does the same. "See you, Riza. Don't forget that you still owe me a shopping trip."
"Duly noted."
"Ah, Riza, my dear! Assume that you two have safely arrived West City? Do you like the house?" Grumman spoke cheerfully into the phone.
"Yes, Grandfather, we just arrived a few minutes ago. About the house, I hardly think that a married couple would need to live in a three-story house, with three maids." Riza resisted the urge to just slam the phone down. "But that's not why I called, why-"
"You're going as my granddaughter! Of course you'll need to live in a fancier place. And besides, the maids will be in the house from nine to twenty hours, and live nearby together, so no worries when you two let your sexual urges take control." He snickered.
"Grandpa!" She shrieked, and then sighed. "The main reason I called is… why on Earth would you replace my luggage?"
When Riza just arrived, she started to unpack her suitcase; just to see very different styles of clothing from she usually wears in the suitcase. Three dresses that clearly reveal too much breasts and legs, skirts that expose her thighs (either from the side or from the front), three blouses that don't cover up much of her front, two pairs of boots and two pairs of high heels that are all four inches, two tight cropped sweaters, only one pair of high-waist jeans, several way too sexy undergarments… And four baby doll lingerie. That old coot!
"And I was stupidly wondering why it was so heavy!" She spoke angrily. "The only piece of clothing that can actually cover up anything is the coat I just wore! It's bloody November and you expect me to wear that!? And where are my guns!?"
"My, my, Riza dear, calm down." Grumman sighed into the phone. "Right now, you're not Riza Hawkeye, but Elizabeth Grumman. Can't you be more ladylike? You know, your mother used to wear like that. And speaking of guns, I have a surprise for you, Lizzie. Check the wardrobe next to the bookshelves in the study room. I'll talk to you later. Send my regards to the boy!"
She half slammed the phone down and huffed angrily. She heard footsteps walking down the stairs, and turned to see Roy looking sheepishly at her.
"What is it?" She snapped.
His smile widened. "I just saw your luggage. I look forward to see you wearing those clothes, I'm sure they'll look wonderful on you, Elizabeth." She groaned, and he added. "I can't wait to see you wearing it tonight."
"Don't get used to it, I'll only be wearing those clothes for a month or two at most, and I'll definitely buy a new set of pajamas once I've settled down." She growled and stomped up the stairs to go the study room on the third floor.
He simply chuckled and followed her. "And I'll burn them all and force you to wear your current one."
She ignored him and opened the study room's door. "Wardrobe…" She muttered to herself and opened it. She immediately gasped. In front of her, displaced piles of guns neatly placed in the wardrobe. A bunch of 9mm pistol… Eight of them! Another six automags, and three baker rifles, and two sniper rifles.
A satisfied smile instantly appeared on her face. She turned and smiled sweetly at her partner, who looked stunned. "So, you were saying, sweetheart?"
He laughed lightly in disbelief and shook his head. "No, nothing. It's nearly eighteen hours, and I'm sure you're tired from the long train ride. Would you like to have an early dinner?"
"Sure." She tiptoed and gave him a peck on the cheek and walked down to the living room, living him once again dumbfounded and in awe.
"According to grandpa, Damon Dubois finds the victims in the pubs downtown, and is also a some what infamous womanizer without people knowing his name." Riza said after they finished their meal and the maids have cleaned up and left, as they were sitting on the sofa. "So I suggest that we go there tomorrow night to see if we can find any information about him, or even better, find him."
Roy nodded in agreement at first, then immediately shook his head. "Elizabeth, are you out of your mind? That is too risky and dangerous! What if something happens? What if something happens to you?"
Riza sighed. "That's the whole point of the undercover, isn't it? Or are you saying that you don't trust me and my abilities?" She raised a brow.
"Elizabeth, you know it's not like that. It's just…" It was his turn to sigh, "There's no way to make you think otherwise, huh?"
"Roy…" She scooted closer to Roy and pulled him closer to her to plant a sweet kiss on his cheek. "Nothing will happen to me, to us. We'll complete the mission successfully and go back to Central in one piece."
"Riza…" He breathed and cupped her cheek with a hand, then kissed her gently on the lips, like she's a delicate china that'll break easily. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back, and laid down on the sofa, with him on top of her, just like the day before.
Déjà vu, she thought. Just when they were about to deepen the kiss, her grandfather's words suddenly flashed through her mind. Don't start making babies! She abruptly broke the kiss and pushed him away, leaving him to sit up on the sofa, staring wide-eyed at her.
"Umm, I-uh, I'll go take a bath." She stammered, while feeling the heat creep through her cheeks, then stalked up the stairs. Roy stared at her back, not knowing if he should laugh or cry.
Riza stepped into the bathtub filled with lavender-scented hot water, and sighed in relaxation as the water engulfed her body. She stayed in the tub for a few minutes with her eyes closed and a cool towel on her forehead, and thought about the events that happened; waking up with Roy next to her, him kissing her for the second time, seeing Rebecca to drop of Hayate, the damn old geezer replacing her suitcase… Baby doll lingerie…
"Shit!" She abruptly sat up and exclaimed, then rested a hand on her head when she felt a bit dizzy. I forgot to take the lingerie with me… She slapped her head lightly, scowling.
She hesitated and stepped out of the tub, wrapping herself in a fluffy towel to wipe herself dry, slipped on the black lace panties her grandfather ordered and stuffed into the replaced suitcase, then called out, "Roy!"
Silence. She creaked the door open and shouted from the top of her lungs, "Roy!"
"Yes?" He shouted back and she heard footsteps approaching the bedroom, then the bathroom in it. She immediately shut the door when she saw him walking closer to the bathroom.
"Would you kindly pass me something decent I can wear to sleep?" She asked bashfully, cheeks growing red.
Roy smirked and hummed, "Sure honey." She huffed and waited while leaning against the door. "Here you go." She opened the door and immediately snatched the clothing from him.
She wanted to snap at him for bringing her a pink baby doll, but this was the only comfortable clothing to wear to sleep in her luggage (now in the wardrobe in the bedroom).
"Roy," she spoke.
"Yes, dear?" He said with amuse evident in his voice.
"Close your eyes and don't open them until I say so."
He sighed, "Fine."
She opened the door slightly to check whether he had his eyes closed or not. Once she confirmed that he did, she crept out of the bathroom and half ran to the wardrobe and slipped into the bed, under the sheets. "You can look now."
He opened his eyes and turned excitedly and frowned slightly when she was wrapped tightly in the blankets. She then sat up and asked, "Mind passing me a book from the study room? I'll wait for you till you're done."
"Yes, yes." He said nonchalantly while eyeing her breasts that the blankets failed to cover when she sat up and is only covered by the thin layer of lingerie.
"Elizabeth." Roy said huskily and slipped into the bed, next to Riza. She sighs and closes the book, and placed it on the bed stand then turned the lights from the lamp off.
He raised a brow. Nothing? He mentally thought. "Elizabeth, how cruel of you to ignore your husband." He breathed into her ear when he scooted closer to her.
She turned her back towards him and muttered sleepily, "I'm tired, and you're tired. Just sleep. We have things to do tomorrow."
She let out a startled yelp when he yanked her arm towards him and laid her under him as he trapped her in his arms. He looked down at him, giving her a triumphant smirk. She scowled, "Roy! What did I just sa-"
He pressed his lips to hers roughly, cutting off her sentence, and gave her breast a squeeze, making her gasp, then thrust his tongue into her mouth, massaging her tongue with hers. She tried to push him away and resist the temptation and urge in her, but gave in and placed her arms around his neck, while tangling a hand into his hair, and kissed him back.
He pulled away slightly to let them catch their breaths, and leaned his forehead against hers. He smirked and murmured in her ear huskily, "How can you expect me to stay still when you're wearing this?" He yanked the blanket off them, revealing her in the pink lacy baby doll. He leaned away slightly to take a glimpse of her curvy body and slim legs.
He pressed kisses on her neck, and chuckled when he saw the love bite still evident on her neck from the previous night when he stayed over at her place. He slipped the straps of her nightwear of her shoulders and pushed it down slightly to reveal her bare breasts. He placed butterfly kisses on her breasts, leaving red marks on them, causing her to mew loudly.
"Roy!" Riza gasped and moaned when he suckled her nipple and nipped slightly. No… she thought, this is going too far, I should stop him- her thought was interrupted when a wave of pleasure coursed through her when he sucked harder, making her release another moan.
He grinned against her breasts while giving her other nipple the same attention; licking, nipping, sucking. His hand travelled further down to her thighs and caressed and squeezed them, then played with the hem of her lingerie and lifted it up to expose her stomach and black lace panties. He slipped his hand inside her panties, and when he was about to stroke her clit, she snapped.
"Roy!" Riza exclaimed and gripped onto his wrist, "I-I-" She looked at him timidly, not knowing what to say, and unconsciously licked her lips, making him desire her more.
He sighed and chuckled lightly, while laid back next to her, facing her with a arm around her. "I guess it's a bit too soon, huh? I'm sorry, Riza." He pecked her lips lightly.
She bashfully nodded while adjusting her nightwear and turned to face him, and snuggled closer to him, burying herself into his arms till her head was right under his chin and her forehead was pressed against his bare chest (apparently he didn't fancy wearing a shirt to sleep, she noted).
He smiled at her shy actions and tightened his arm around her, not before giving her one last gentle kiss on the forehead. Then the two peacefully drifted to sleep.
Author's note: *sigh* I write way too many unnecessary things...
I promise I'll start the mission from the next chapter! I'm sorry!
But nonetheless, reviews are much appreciated!
