Chapter Eleven: Afterglow

Cloud opened one of his eyes. The room was shining with the light from the apparent sunrise. He groaned feeling somewhat exhausted yet oddly, he felt extremely weighless. As though something had been taken from his shoulders so to speak. He pulled the blanket up over his shoulders as he turned to the left. His face came in contact with a warm and soft fleshy object. He opened his eyes slowly again and came face to breast with Tifa Lockheart. Cloud sat up quickly. He looked down at her peaceful sleeping body.

It was no question that she was naked. The blanket had covered only one breasts as it snaked down in between her legs. Exposing a large amount of Tifa's flesh. Cloud thought he had gone to heaven. He continued to look down at her sleeping form. Her hair was tossled but only emphasised the pleasure written on her face.

Last night came flowing back into Cloud's head.

He pushed himself up. Still thrusting he lifted her leg to let it rest on his shoulder. She moaned again. He continued to pound into her until he lifted her other leg. Both her legs elevated, he thrust into her fiercely.

"Oh...gods...Cloud...Yes!...Ah....Cloud!" She cried out as she seemed to loose her mind. He was sure she just felt so amazing she couldn't even think. That was how he felt. Her tight walls, choking his shaft. So it seemed. He bit his lip as he groaned once again. Her pussy seemed to be sucking him in. He felt his release coming. But he wanted a bit longer.

He moved his hands to grasp onto her bouncing breasts. He kneading them brokenly. In between thrusts. Tifa thrust her hips up in response. He almost lost it right there. "Tifa!"

He pounded harder. Deeper. He wanted to be so deep inside her. With a few more thrusts, he felt his release. He came hard inside of her. Tifa's walls tightened hard taking in his cum as she climaxed with him. He waited there, making sure he had finished before he pulled out of her. He fell onto the bed beside her. For a few minutes they both lay there breathing heavily. Cloud turned on his side and kissed Tifa.

"That was...amazing." Tifa said in between breaths. Cloud agreed. She moved on her side and he pulled her on him. He wrapped his arms around her protectively. Soon she fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat. And he fell asleep to the sound of her breathing.

Cloud's eyes widened only slightly. He had done it. He had finally spent an amazing night with the woman he loved. A smirk came quickly to his lips. Cloud Strife had bedded Tifa Lockheart. It was enough to make him want to pass out in pure joy. His hand moved to caress her cheek. Tifa sighed happily still sleeping. Cloud felt his heart swell. He was going to have to speed things up. He had hoped they'd have sex for the first time after he told her how he felt.

But now here they were the morning after an extremely blissful night. And she still had no clue.

Well alright maybe she had some idea how he felt. They did just have amazing sex. Tifa wasn't an idiot.

Cloud slid out of bed and pulled on his boxers. His eyes scanned over Tifa's body once more. Taking every inch of her lucsious body and memorizing it. Burning it into his memories. He bent over her and kissed her soflty on her lips. He exited the bedroom and made his way into the kitchen. He checked the contents of the fridge and realized they didn't have much.

He picked up the room telephone and dial for service. He told the person on the other line to send breakfast to their cabin. Cloud wasn't quite sure what to order. Tifa usually did most of the cooking for him. He just ordered the usual. Omlettes, pancakes, bacon and toast. Luckily for Cloud he at least had orange juice in their fridge. The server told Cloud it would take about 20 minutes.

Cloud decided to take a quick shower. He turned the water on warm and washed up quickly. After getting out of the shower he brushed his teeth and pulled on a new pair of boxers. He had finished towel drying his hair when he heard a knock on the front door. He walked over and pulled the door open. A man came in pushing a cart with several dishes on it. He laid out all the food onto the cabin kitchen table. Cloud gave him a tip and closed the door behind him.

Time to wake up sleeping beauty.

He walked into the bedroom quietly. Tifa was uncovered. Leaving her body completely visable to Cloud. He choked out a breath as he took in her whole body. Now that it was bright and she was no longer covered by a blanket, he saw all that was Tifa Lockheart. He layed on top of her and pressed his lips to hers. She laid unresponsive for a bit and then Cloud slid his tongue out and traced her lips. Tifa moaned softly and her eyes opened. Cloud sat back just watching her eyes adjust and take in her surroundings. her eyes met Cloud's. He watched as a slight panic was in her eyes and then a minute or so later the panic melted into joy? It was something positive. He knew that much.

Because Tifa sat up and pressed her lips against Cloud's. He was caught of guard. But quickly pushed his surprise down and wrapped his arms around her kissing her back. A few moments later they pulled away and Tifa smiled sheepishly. "I'm hungry." She said softly.

Cloud beamed at her. "I had breakfast delivered. It's in the kitchen." Tifa nodded and sat there for a bit. Cloud raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong?"

Tifa chuckled. "Well Cloud, you are kinda on top of me. How am I supposed to get up?"

Cloud blushed lightly and got off of Tifa. He helped her up and just stared at her. She looked down and realized she was standing in front of him completely naked. It was Tifa's turn to blush. She pulled the sheet off the bed and wrapped it around her body. Cloud let out a disapointed sigh. Tifa playfully punched his arm. The two walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Immediately Tifa dug in. Cloud soon followed suite.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, Cloud was sitting on the couch thinking of what he and Tifa could do later. Of course his mind immediately went to doing fun activities in the bedroom. But he pushed those thoughts down. Even though he had 'tasted' Tifa, it was not enough to quench his hunger for her. He sat there raking his mind for what the two of them could do. He looked down at the newspaper that lay on the coffee table. It was brought in with their breakfast. He looked over the front page and saw that there was a meteor shower scheduled for tonight.

He smiled. That sounded like the perfect plan. He went into the bedroom, still hearing Tifa in the shower. He pulled on a pair of black jeans and a dark blue vest. He knocked on the bathroom door when he heard that the shower was off. "yes?" Came Tifa's small voice.

"Teef, we're going out tonight."

"Um..Okay?" She said through the door.

"There's going to be a Meteor shower. So I figure we can just sit out behind the cabin, on the beach and watch it."

"Oh my god. That is so romantic. I knew he didn't just want me for sex." Her heart sped up somewhat. "Last night was so amazing, I wonder if we will make love again...Cloud was so big.." "Okay Cloud." Tifa replied.

Cloud walked back to the couch with a cocky smirk on his face. Tifa had no idea how much of an ego boost she just gave him. He laid out on the couch and soon he fell asleep. Thinking about tonight. And the lovely Tifa Lockheart.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tifa shook Cloud lightly. When she had come out of the bathroom and rushed to the bedroom in only her bra and panties, she realized the one time mercenary was peacefully napping on the couch. She smiled to herself. How she loved that spikey haired man. She had turned and went back into the room to dry off her hair and get herself ready. Since they were just sitting out on the beach behind their little cabin, Tifa didn't wear anything extravagant. She did decided on a black bikini. But she covered it with a red fishnetted dress that was made specifically to go over the bathing suit. Tifa blow dryed her hair and pulled her brush through her hair. It had taken her about an hour or so to get ready. She looked at the clock in the bedroom. They had woken up somewhere around 1pm. So now it was around six. She saw that the sun was in the process of setting.

Tifa exited her bedroom and then was waking up Cloud.

He stired. His eyes opened and all he saw was Tifa. Smiling. He returned the smile. "Cloud." Came her soft voice. "The sun is setting. Come on." She pulled him up and let him collect himself while she waited. When he was done they exited their cabin and walked down a little bath that circled the house and came out behind the house. The path opened up to a little area that was grassy. It was only a small patch. Beyond the grass was the tan sand from the beach. Cloud carried a blue blanket and laid it out for Tifa and him.

Tifa sat down and drew her knees to her chest watching the sunset. Cloud sat beside her and watched it with her. Tifa smiled lightly. It was funny how something so simple could feel so--perfect. "I can't believe everything that has happened- Cloud came back and took me on this vacation. Then last night, we had the most wonderful night." She closed her eyes still smiling. "funny how it took this long for us to get together."

Cloud winced at that thought. It was just because he was a complete idiot.

"We have come so far. We have seen so much. And we have lost...Dad--Cloud's mom--Zack--Aerith..."

Cloud heard her tone change when she said Aerith. He felt a pang in his chest and realized that there was something he really needed to tell Tifa. Desperately. She had to know something so there was no more confusion.

"Tifa." He began. She turned toward him. "there is something I need you to know. I--how do I put this--Tifa I was never in love with Aerith." He watched as her eyes widened a bit. "You need to know that. She was always Zack's. I just always felt a strong urge to protect her. I felt as though I owed Zack. I'm not saying she wasn't attractive." He took Tifa's hand and smiled. "But with you with us, there was no way I would ever had fallen for her." He smirked.

Tifa blushed and bit her lip lightly. "Cloud--"

Cloud pulled Tifa to him, his lips pressing against hers. It took Tifa a moment, but she quickly responded. Her arms wrapping around his neck and pulling him closer. Cloud pushed her back so that Tifa was laying down. He hovered over her and began to kiss her neck and down to her collarbone. Tifa let out a small whimper of pleasure. Cloud moved his hands up her toned legs until he came to her bikini. He pulled the ties that held it together. His hand pushed the material away and he stroked her already wet lips. Tifa let out another moan.

As his fingers worked their magic so did his mouth. With his free hand he pushed up her fishnet dress and untied her bikini top. Instantly taking her pink nipple into his mouth. His teeth twirling it between them making it erect. More moans escaped Tifa. Cloud's fingers thrust into her a bit faster. Her legs clenched around his hand. Soon he brought Tifa to her climax. She layed back breathing heavily. Her heartbeat slowed and her fingers had a mind of their own. She pulled Cloud's pants off along with his boxers. She took his swollen member into her hand and begun to stroke him. It was Cloud's turn to whimper her name.

After a few excurciating moments, Tifa led his erection to her wet folds. Cloud took the invitation and slid into her. Tifa whispered his name and wrapped her arms around him. Cloud loved the feel of her. Loved being inside her. Cloud--loved her. Tifa opened her eyes and looked up. Cloud turned his head while still thrusting. Both of them saw the meteor shower begin.

It could not have been a more beautiful night.
