This chapter is basically a giant lemon. Enjoy :)
"This is it!" said Roy enthusiastically, throwing open the door to his new apartment. It was small, with only a couple of rooms and hardly any furniture. "This is the living room / dining room / bedroom," he said gesturing to the space in front of them, which was empty apart from a mattress on the floor and a large trunk and a small table by the window. "The bathroom and closet are through here," he said pointing, and then walked her through the room towards the window and turned left. "And look I have my own kitchen! What do you think?"
"It's nice," said Riza grinning. "Do you even know how to cook?"
"I'll learn. It can't be that hard," he said brushing aside her concerns. "I know it's small, and there's a lot of stuff I still need to get, but I'm so happy to have my own space."
"That's great. I'm happy for you," she said hugging him. "Okay, I'll leave you to enjoy your space." She smiled playfully and pulled away.
"Wait!" He caught her arm and reached into his pocket. "This is for you." He produced a key and placed it in her hand. "Now it's your space too. You're welcome anytime."
"Thank you Roy." She put the key in her own pocket, then reached up to kiss him.
"You're very welcome," he said, hugging her tightly. "I want you over here all the time, okay?"
"Deal." She kissed him again then led him over to the mattress and knelt down to take off her boots. He took off his shoes too, and then they lay down holding each other close.
"This is all I've wanted to do all day," he said caressing her cheek, then he kissed her forehead and her nose and her lips.
"Hard day?" she asked smiling.
"It's mind-numbing," he complained. "I trained to be a soldier, an officer, but now I feel like a secretary. And I have even less time to study and practice alchemy than I did at the academy."
"It's not forever," she said stroking his hair.
"I know." He smiled to himself and closed his eyes. "That feels good."
She stopped playing with his hair. "You're not going to fall asleep on me are you?"
"Maybe." He went limp and pretended to snore.
She giggled, pushed him over onto his back, climbed onto him and tickled him. "Wake up, wake up!"
He sat up laughing and grabbed her hands. "Good," she said smiling mischievously. "We need to christen the apartment."
He grinned. "If you insist."
"I do." She pulled her blue linen shirt over her head and enjoyed the look on his face as he gazed at her body.
"God you're beautiful Riza," he said, putting his hands on her hips and kissing her. She kissed him back and unbuttoned his shirt, pushing it off his shoulders. He let go of her to take it off, and pulled his undershirt off as well.
She smiled. "You're beautiful too." She hugged him and pressed her breasts against him. "My sweet beautiful boy," she said and kissed his shoulder.
He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back. "My sweet beautiful girl," he whispered in reply.
"That's mine," she said petulantly. "You have to think of your own."
"My wonderful amazing gorgeous lady," he tried. She giggled and he shrugged. "What can I say? I love you."
"That's good enough," she said smiling and kissed him. "I love you too."
He smiled at her, and held her tightly, then began to kiss her neck. She tilted her head and sighed happily, then grabbed his head and kissed his lips fiercely. He felt her bare back and grabbed her butt through her tight brown pants. She gave a soft moan and kissed him harder, biting his lower lip. He grabbed her and pushed her down on the mattress and ran his hands over her body. He kissed her neck and grasped her breasts, kneading them in his hands. He rubbed her nipples with his thumbs, then pulled on them lightly, and they stiffened at his touch. He moved his mouth to kiss one of her breasts while still playing with the other with his fingers. He licked her nipple and nipped playfully at it with his teeth, making her gasp. He ran his other hand down her stomach and forced his way into her pants.
"Roy," she breathed. He grinned up at her, and sat up and unbuttoned her pants and pulled them down along with her panties and she moved her legs so he could pull them off and toss them aside. He took off his own pants while he was at it, then sat beside her. He caressed her thighs, feeling the soft hair on her legs and the coarser hair between them. He held her lips apart with two fingers and kissed her and tasted what lay hidden there. Then he lay down on his side and she widened her legs, and he rubbed her in little circles.
"Is that okay?"
"A little lower," she instructed. "More pressure. Yes, that's it." She moaned and grabbed his face with both hands and pulled him to her for a kiss. He kept rubbing her clitoris and she began to breathe heavily and she kissed his ear and bit his neck, and grabbed at her own breast. He took this as a request, and began kissing her breast and flicking her nipple with his tongue while he continued his work downstairs. She moaned and pulled his hair.
"Roy, I want you," she said panting.
He stopped and sat up. "What? Really? Are you sure?"
She reached down to touch her sopping vulva. She slid a finger inside of herself and then another, then pulled them out and held them to his penis to compare sizes. She added more fingers and returned to her vagina. "Mmm," she looked up at him. "Yes, I'm ready. I want you to make love to me."
"Okay." He bent down and kissed her passionately. She clung to him tightly.
"Do you have anything?" she asked, feeling awkward. "Rebecca told me about contraceptives."
"Yes," he said and smiled at her sheepishly. "I got them right after you moved here." He got out of bed to go dig in his trunk. She propped herself up on an elbow and watched him, admiring his powerful body.
"You have a cute butt," she remarked, and he laughed as he searched.
"Thanks." He found what he was looking for her and turned around, his erection pointing at her. He rolled the condom on and knelt above her and bent down to kiss her.
"You have to tell me if it hurts."
"I will. Go slow, okay?"
"Okay. Are you ready?" He positioned himself on top of her.
"Yes." She kissed him, and he kissed her back and put his fingers inside her. She sighed and he kissed her forehead.
"Okay." He removed his fingers and placed the head of penis against her. He slowly pushed into her and she gasped, her eyes going wide.
"Are you okay?" he asked, freezing.
"Yes," she said, and kissed him. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable. He began to move inside her, moaning in pleasure, and she gasped with every stroke. Her discomfort subsided, but she still didn't feel the way she'd imagined she would. She wrapped her legs around his waist and clung to him, scratching his back. She bit his shoulder harder than she meant to, and he groaned and kissed her with passion. She felt like she could almost feel something, but then he shuddered and moaned loudly and then collapsed on top of her.
He kissed her, then held her tightly, breathing hard. "That was amazing," he sighed. "Thank you. I love you, Riza."
"I love you too," she whispered.
"Are you okay? How was it for you?"
"I'm fine," she said.
"And?"
She shifted uncomfortably and shrugged, avoiding his gaze.
"Okay," he said, a little disappointed, then smiled. "I guess it takes practice like anything. I'll just have to do better next time." He frowned and then added quickly, "I mean, if you want to."
"Yes," she said smiling, and grabbed his face and kissed him. He grinned at her her, then rolled off of her and got up, pulling off the condom and throwing it in the trash. He got back in bed and cuddled her, one arm under her neck and the other around her, and she snuggled up to him, one arm around him and the other pinned uselessly between them, her legs tangled with his. He kissed her forehead and stroked her hair.
"This is so nice. I'm really happy right now," she sighed and closed her eyes.
"Good. I'm glad. I'm happy too."
"I'm always happy when I'm with you."
"You're so sweet," he said, and kissed her softly. She sighed and pressed her face into his neck. He closed his eyes and held her, and soon fell asleep. She felt warm and safe in his arms and she lay listening to him breathe. At some point he rolled over in his sleep, and she hugged him from behind and kissed his shoulder blade.
"I love this boy so much," she thought to herself. "I wish we could just stay like this forever." She held him and leaned her head against his back and fell asleep herself.
She woke with a start a couple hours before dawn, alone on the mattress. She sat upright and looked for Roy.
"Sorry," he whispered. He had tripped over something in the dark. "I was trying to be quiet. Go back to sleep, sweetheart."
She rubbed her eyes sleepily and watched him pull on a pair of trousers. "Where are you going?"
"A field just outside the city. I need a large open empty space with no people around to practice flame alchemy in." He dug in his trunk for a shirt. "I'm sorry I woke you."
"That's alright. I need to be up before dawn anyway, to get back to the barracks." She laughed softly. "They don't let you sleep in in military school."
"I remember." He smiled at her, and she rose and stumbled towards him. He dropped the shirt and and caught her, feeling her lean but muscular arms. She lay her head on his shoulder groggily and hugged him. She raised her head to kiss his shoulder, then squinted in the darkness.
"I think I bruised you where I bit you last night."
"Really? I can't see." He smiled. "It's a wonder I'm not always covered in bruises, given how often you bite me."
She giggled. "Sorry." She kissed the affected area gently.
"You don't sound very sorry," he said playfully. He grinned at her and hugged her tightly. "I don't mind. I like it." She smiled and pushed away from him then turned and stumbled naked to the bathroom.
When she got back he was fully dressed. She went to put her arms around him and kiss him. "Wait a few minutes for me to put some clothes on. You can walk me home."
"Are you sure?" he asked, stroking her bare back. "You could stay here and sleep another hour."
She shrugged. "I'm already up. And I don't want to stay here alone."
"Okay." He kissed her again and then smiled at her. "Will you come back tonight?"
She ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his neck. "Yes," she whispered, and smiled. "Definitely."
