Promise of Always
By: Amber
Duo frowned as he studied the building the security was lousy, the only thing that could make the situation worse was having to wander the hotel looking for her. He grinned slyly thanks to the Commander that wasn't necessary. He knew deep inside something was about to change the question was he ready for it? More importantly is Relena he asked soundlessly as he stared intently at the darkened room above.
She felt the cooler air swirl around the hem of her robe and a part of her knew it was almost as if she had been waiting for him. Relena felt a flutter of excitement deep in her stomach; it spread through her body like quicksilver. Her head fell back against the cushion of the chair as her gaze focused on the fire, and waited an enigmatic smile ghosted across her face. It's started she thought. "Come in Duo."
He felt lightheaded with relief there she was safe not broken and bleeding nor dead. She was alive and healthy and so very beautiful the light from the fireplace made her look like a figure carved in ancient gold. The mindless panic riding him hard since this afternoon slowly dissolved leaving him with a host of conflicting feelings chiefly among them anger. His eyes narrowed it was time to no more running no more hiding, with that Duo stepped forward.
His breathing quickened he moved into the room on silent feet, "I should beat you. Do you have any idea how worried I was once I realized the half-assed stunt you were pulling?"
She glanced at him from the corner of her eye," was it any crazier than the stunts you've pulled Shinigami?"
"That is different, he gritted."
She tilted her glass finishing it off before languidly reaching down to pour another." It usually is." He came around and stood in front of her, forcing her to look at him.His eyes narrowed. "You're drinking."
Relena smiled wryly, "very good Duo I can see nothing escapes you."
"Damn you he swore, haven't I lost enough people I care about without you sending the crazies an engraved invitation."
She ignored him. Standing she went to brush past him, when his hand shot out grabbing her arm off balance brushed against him. Relena inhaled sharply as her breast tightened in response to his closeness.
"If you are trying to pull a Heero he said tautly forget it I'm not going to let you."
Relena met his look calmly jerking she tried to pull away."I'm not trying to get myself killed Duo she said softly." She looked pointedly at his hand. "Want something to drink?" He glared, "this isn't over."
She sighed, " I didn't think it was." He let go as she glided over to the bar; grabbing a glass she handed it to him and then passed him the bottle before sinking into the chair.
He held up the bottle. "What is this stuff anyway?" She smiled despite her nervousness, "most people call it wine. I like it." "I bet he glared."
Relena sighed,"why are you here?" Duo slammed the bottle on the table. " I can't believe you asked me that."
Relena sipped her wine; "peace is not that fragile that it hinges on one person alone."
"Don't preach at me Lena you're not in a cabinet meeting now. Duo stared at her intently, what is this really about?"
"O Duo she whispered why did you have to follow me?" He hesitated something about the way she was acting broke his heart.He sat the glass down and went to her.He hesitated,as though uncertain of his welcome crouching his hand reached out to cup her face."Talk to me please I thought we could tell each other anything."
She looked so lost, tilting her face into his hand her eyes fluttered closed." I'm ok Duo then suddenly she pulled back.She tilted her glass finishing it before holding it out to him she raised her eyebrow. "Haven't you had enough he said quietly."
She stared at him impassively for a moment before stretching for the bottle and poured herself some more. "Can't you let him go? Relena paused then sat the bottle back on the table. "I have let him go."
Duo clasped her jaw turning her face to meet his eyes. "Have you?"
Her breath froze as his hand slid down, softly stroking her throat "yes she said huskily, I've said my good-byes."
His eyes slowly drifted downward the peach colored silk gave her skin golden glow, her skin felt so incredibly soft. His fingers glided down the vee of her robe, and up again before moving back to repeat the process on her skin. His eyes followed his fingers sliding down her chest until it reached the edged of her robe. Relena inhaled shaky breath, it sounded unnaturally loud in the stillness of the room. His eyes lifted to hers before dropping to fasten on her breasts as they tightened lifting toward his hand. She grabbed his hand stilling his movements. "Have you let go of the past Duo?"
His eyes lifted,"ahh Lena."He turned his hand within hers lifting it;he softly brushed his lips across her knuckles. "With the life I've led I learned that lesson long ago.I loved Heero but loving him doesn't mean I can't love again."I've been waiting for you to realize that."
"Duo she whispered." Cupping his face she leaned closer trying to read him, usually she could his emotions were refreshingly open and honest.She stared into his eyes and gasped. There was a hunger there, nervously she licked her lips as butterfly like sensations started in her stomach. Her eyes widened fascinated as his gaze was suddenly focused on her mouth, and without thought he tightened his hold upon her,drawing her in closer.
Almost hypnotically he leaned in toward her, his intent plain he was just inches away when her eyelids fluttered closed. His mouth gently nibbled the edge of her lips, before brushing softly across her mouth. His teeth caught her bottom lip playfully. Relena gasped as Duo settled more firmly over her mouth, gently coaxing a deeper access with his tongue. He stroked and caressed hers in a slow sweet seduction as his hand gently sifted through silky hair. A mewling sigh escaped Relena, as her hands rose to tangle in the silky softness of his hair, arching closer she tried to assuage the fiery ache building through out her body.
Duo pulled back his tone demanding,there was an urgent intensity there."Lena?" "Lena..." His thumbs gently brushed across her cheeks.She blinked hazily,at him her breath coming in little pants. "If you sure about this then one more day won't matter he pointed out ."
"Duo she said huskily leaning forward her eyes languid with desire...
"OO no." Duo groaned standing he pulled her up.She looked at him confused; blushing she tried to pull away." Its alright Duo I understand put it down to Relena makes a fool out of herself once more."
Duo frowned his hands grabbed her hair fisting in it he forced her to look at him.
" When we make love I don't want there to be any doubts." He jerked her forward the muscles along his length trembled and flexed, his whole body responding to the intimate touch of her own. Duo stared at her intensely; "I want you,I care about you more importantly I love you."
"It's not like I can hide my body's reaction to yours. I don't know what's going on in that crazy head of yours but forget it." You're tired, you've been drinking your first time deserves better circumstances than that."
Relena cleared her throat, "how do you know it's my first time?'
Duo smiled softly releasing her hair to gently comb his fingers through it,"If you didn't have deep feelings about someone Relena you would never consider it." You're an all or nothing girl."
She pulled back her eyes entreating him, "and you are you an all or nothing guy? " Duo lifted his hand taking a strand of her hair he brought it to his lips and rubbed it softly back and forth before tucking it back behind her shoulder.
He smiled wryly, "where your concerned yes I am." Duo clasped her hand tugging her into the bedroom. "Come on Princess let's get you tucked in I have a feeling tomorrow your going to regret drinking all that wine."
"Duo she said hesitantly tugging at him, to stop will you stay?" His thumbed lightly stroked her lip back and forth, "I'll stay he said hoarsely, before pulling back to guide her into the bedroom.
The sun broke through clouds beaming down benevolently on a beautiful day. The breeze off the ocean carried the smell of salt and seaweed, while the gulls screamed their joy at riding the air currents back and forth above the waves. The sound of a child's laughter lifted in joy carried to the hill above completing the perfection of the afternoon. Relena stood on the hill a contented smile on her face as she watched the scene below. Suddenly as if sensing another the two figures playing in the water stopped and looked up,lifting her arm to shade her eyes she smiled and waved.
"Duo, Hiro lunch time." A small boy with a waist length braid, and hair the color of tawny gold came running up the dune.
"Mom! Mom, look what I found," eyes of cerulean blue met hers in excitement. She knelt down holding out her arms as he launched himself into her arms. Standing she swung him around causing them both to laugh with delight.
"Show me, she smiled." Hiro held up a shell and placed it over her ear.
"Listen mom and you can hear the ocean." Tilting her head she pretended to listen,glancing at him through her lashes. "I hear growling, she teased."
"Mom he giggled." She sat him down. "Go I'll be right there." She watched him run off as arms gently came around her pulling her back into a hug. His hands softly caressed the slight swell of her stomach.
"You need to be more careful picking him up like that especially now."
Relena laughed softly leaning against his chest she sighed content. Duo rested his chin on her head. "Why the heavy sigh?"
She rested her hands lightly over his. "I'm happy."
Duo turned her studying her intently. " Promise?" Relena smiled softly,a look of innocent trust and calm certainty upon her face.
" Promise."
This concludes Promise Always I want to thank all those that kindly encouraged me, offered constructive suggestions. And those that were nice enough to compliment me on the story I thank you. I hope in some small way it entertained you. Some will probably gag at the obviously fluffy ending frankly this was the one concession I made for me I wanted a fluffy ending. For Sage I hope you enjoyed your Duo story you dont know how hard this was.
