AN: Welcome back! It's a bit lengthy… but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless! :)

P.S. Sorry for any mistakes I may have missed.

Chapter 14: In The Dark

He though he knew her... but maybe he doesn't after all.

Standing in the doorway her bathroom wearing an impassive look, Lelouch's amethyst hues traced the small frame of the green-haired woman who sat blankly on the messy bed. Holding a small cloth to her slit fingers, helping the bleeding stop, she stared off distantly. Lost in the daze of secrets she didn't want to share. Which at this point of time is rather frustrating for the one who cares so much about her. Taking a glance back at the huge clumps of green hair that's sprawled across the bathroom floor, Lelouch couldn't help but release a sigh in disbelief.

"She always had such beautiful hair."

Pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, he tried to expel all traces of anger before joining her on the bed.

"Let me see your hand." he spoke softly. Taking her hand in his then placed it in his lap to begin working on her accidental self-inflicted cuts. "You need to be more careful next time C.C... Heh, you're always putting me to work aren't you?" His joke fell flat when no reaction came from her, only looking down at their joined hands. A sharp pang that's laced with annoyance hit him hard. He's here trying to help, but ever since she stopped crying her mouth has been sealed shut. "C.C. are you ever going to talk to me?"

He looked at her sternly waiting for a reply; but when she gave him none, he turned away from her with a hopeless frown.

Keeping her silence she watched Lelouch disinfect her cuts with a gauze, applied medicine, then put on band-aids after. Removing her hand from his when he finished, she clasped them together in her lap feeling nothing but emptiness inside. Thinking back what happened now, how was she supposed to think rationally when Schneizel brutally extracted all the skeletons she locked in the closet and threw it back in her face?

Is it because what he claimed is true?

After Schneizel left, it didn't take long for her to be consume by her darkest fear. She didn't know what she was doing as she wrecked her apartment in full blown rage. And when she looked at the damage she caused, C.C. felt like her. When she stared into the mirror, C.C. saw her inside. But it was only when unwillingly cut all her hair off had she realized she became the very person she didn't want to be.

Like Mother, Like Daughter right? What a sick joke to her...

Broken in shattered pieces she called Lelouch because he has always been her anchor. He always lend a helping hand; but now that's he here at her aid, she's acting selfishly by telling him nothing. Terrified that he might treat her differently if he knew the truth. She want's to tell him but her voice refuses come out and reach him.

He's being left in the dark.

"C.C.," Lelouch gently cupped her cheek so he could turn her to face him. "Can you please tell me what happened? I want to help you more than anything, but I can't do that if you won't talk to me." The pad of his thumb brushing her soft skin affectionately. "We're friends C.C. We've always been honest with each other. So please-"

"Lelouch... Schneizel, he-" her voice shook, threatening tears now stinging her eyes. Her words vanished into the void as her throat tightened in hesitation. "Schneizel-"

When wet tears formed in her eyes, clouding her beautiful eyes, Lelouch girt his teeth in anger, his jaw clenching tight in trying to control his monster rage.

"Did Schneizel do this? Did he hurt you C.C.?" she lightly nodded her head yes. His body burned in anger's wake. All the forces of the universe wouldn't be able to stop him now if his brother had been here. That bastard! What did he do? This is not her. The broken woman he's looking at now might reflect the hurt girl she once was, but this C.C. looks completely hopeless. Hopeless to the point where the world is her prison and her body is the shackles. "That bastard, when I see him."

Lelouch angrily raised from the bed to find him, but was stopped C.C.'s hand grabbed his.

"Don't. I don't want you to get involved with him, he didn't do anything."

"Are you seriously going to protect him?" His blood boiled in rage, snapping back his hand, "C.C. look at this mess!" he waved his arms around the disheveled room. "Look what he made you do to yourself C.C." Lelouch reached towards her, grabbing the jagged short strands of her messily cut hair. "It's crystal clear that whatever he did, he did so to intentionally hurt you. I know this because he warned me about it so why are you defending him when you just agreed that he did this? Look, C.C. I care so much about you, but if you're just going to fed me lies and protect him... I'm leaving."

"Then leave Lelouch! I don't want you here anyways!" C.C. shouted, standing up hastily to shove him roughly. "I made a mistake in calling you, I made a mistake in ever falling for you. You're just like him, you never care about how I am feeling!"

"That's not true! I go through shit because of you!" Lelouch stepped closer to tower over her intimidatingly in height. But nothing can falter the upset woman.

"No you don't Lelouch! You claim that you love me, but you can't truly love a person you don't know about." Tears flowed freely down her porcelain cheeks. All traces of meaningless anger diminished upon her feeling less than nothing. "There's a reason why you don't know the things that Schneizel does. I love and care for you so much, I'm so afraid that once I tell you… you'll push me away. That you wouldn't want anything to do with me because I'm turning into her."

Lelouch face dropped- his feelings hurt by her ridiculous assumptions.

"C.C… Is your thought of me so low that you think I'm just some shallow man?" Lelouch released all his anger with a hard breath. Meeting her saddened hues, he pulled her into a warm embrace, holding her tightly to show that he'll never let her go. "I'm not asking you to tell me those things if you're not ready, but Schneizel is hurting you. I don't know what's keeping you tied to him but it's time to let go. C.C. I'll never hurt you and you know it." The Witch's Warlock brushed away her silky bangs before lacing his fingers in her much shorter strands of hair that barely touched her shoulders. "I just want know how I can help you... please, tell me what's on your mind?"

"D-Do you think I look like her… like my mother?" She asked in a shaky whisper. Keeping her eyes locked with his, she desperately searched his pool of violets to see if there may be a clear cut answer… but there wasn't. His face stayed impassive, unreadable, it's not he's not some crystal ball she can look into.

As her heart beats to his own dispirited rhythm, her breath hitched when he cupped her cheeks, gazing at her fondly. Wanting to ground herself back to reality C.C. met him halfway for a kiss.

A sweet kiss that never changed it's meaning and always felt amazingly pleasing every time they did. She tasted a little bit like salt from the amounts of crying she did though it didn't bother him.

Just as long she doesn't revert back to the little girl she worked so hard to overcome.

Pulling away from her soft lips with a softer smile, Lelouch planted one more kiss on the forehead before meeting her gaze once more to answer her question.

"You're nothing like her. You are mischievous and beautiful. Just because you are her daughter doesn't mean you are her. You're a lot stronger that what you've become, and so it's time to stop holding onto what's keeping you down." He kissed her lips. "C.C… I just want to see you smile."

Not fighting the smile that joyfully graced her, C.C. pulled him back into a embrace. Burying her face against his chest, inhaling his lavender scent while basking in the warmth he always willingly offered. He's right, she needs to stop holding onto what's keeping her in the front line of misery. She needs to let Schneizel go. Not matter the uncalled million reasons that's keeping her.

"Lelouch?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you. I'm glad that you're here with me… I'm happy to hear that after everything, you're still my bestfriend."

"I was your friend first before I fell in love with you." He pecked her lips lightly. "How about we let this go for now and head out to get this masterpiece fixed." He lightly teased, tugging at her emerald hair.

Hearing her laugh brought him goosebumps. That's all he ever wants from her, to see her happy, to make her happy, he wants her to be free.

Shirley: Hey Lulu… ur back in town right? Would you like to hang out tonight.. Or this weekend perhaps?

Shirley: If ur busy I'll understand. :)

"Shirley…" Taking a look at the customers in the salon who either waited or were already sitting in a chair getting their hair done, Lelouch started to feel rather guilty. He's been so caught up in this whole Schneizel drama that he almost forgot that he and Shirley still have a thing going on… well at least to her knowledge. She's a great woman, but he's not the right man for her. Even if he didn't love C.C. he probably still feel the same way… maybe. "I should end this soon before things get worse."

Staring at the screen a little longer thinking of an appropriate response-

Lelouch: I'm a bit busy today, how about we get together tomorrow?

Not taking long for the innocent beauty to respond-

Shirley: Sure! Just let me know when and where!

Shirley: I'm excited to see you again Lulu! :)

"How am I going to break it to her? It's not like I'm going to flat out say, 'Hey I'm seeing C.C. so goodbye'. No that would really be messed up… she will probably hate me forever."

"Texting your mistress?"

Lelouch looked up at the woman who stood before with him joyful smile adorning her features.

"In this case, you're the mistress." Lelouch's eyes clashed with her more lively ones. She came off as adorably cute when she clasped her hands behind her back with a small bite of her lip, swaying her body a little. "Did you do something new with your hair?" He chuckled a little, reaching for her wrist to give her hand a faint kiss. "You look really beautiful C.C."

"Oh, so you're saying that I was only pretty with long hair? Thank Lelouch, I'm touched." She giggled as she started to play with her new haircut.

Earlier after they cleaned her apartment decently, Lelouch took her to the salon to fix her oh so bad and very reckless hair cut. And in order for it to be properly 'fixed' they had to cut a couple more inches off. So now her hair is little above the shoulders, although the front of her hair still had some length to it.

"I'm not going to deal with your nonsense right now." Shoving the phone back into his pocket, Lelouch stood holding his arm out for her to take like the gentleman that he is. "Are you in the mood to eat something? It's my treat."

"Mmmm," she moaned a little too sensual. "I would love too. What about you? What would like to eat?" A Cheshire grin graced her cunning features, making the raven-haired man flush at her simple yet heavy implications.

"I see that you're back to your old self."

"I guess I needed some time away from home." C.C. tip-toed to plant a brief kiss on his cheek. "Help me feel better by taking me out." She tugged onto his arm in the direction out of the salon. She might feel a little more sane, but there are still bigger problems she knows they confront it today because if they did… Lelouch just might blow a gasket. He might seem cool and collected right now, but that's only a facade to hide the real wrath that's brewing inside his soul.

#

"If you eat too fast you're gonna choke." Lelouch warned, watching C.C. almost distastefully as she hurriedly ate a fry, shoving it into her mouth before taking a bite out of her burger. The gluttons woman occasionally moaned in delight at how tasty her lunch is. Though not a moment after he heed her a warning she started to choke. "See, I told you."

Lelouch chuckled, passing over his water so she could wash down the food.

When she regained herself once more, "I only choked because you were staring too hard."

"Or perhaps because you eat as if you're in a eating competition."

"Not true."

Admiring how the sun beamed off her flawless skin through the large window they sat next to, he never truly realized just how much he missed hanging out with her. It seems like it's been forever since they last spent time together without someone intervening. For years he had been caught in his feelings for her and wished that he could call her his. But it turned out that he had her this entire time, it was only a matter of time before fate played in his favor… although it has a cruel way of answering him.

"C.C."

"Hmm?" The said woman finished her last fry before meeting his lively eyes.

The hopeless romantic reached across the table to hold hand hands in his. The engagement ring that once adorned her finger shortly was no longer present.

"I don't know about you, but I miss the days when life was simple. When we were kids and were allowed to make mistakes because it'll go away eventually." Lelouch lifted her hands to his lips, pressing firm kisses along her slim fingers. "I want to know what's hurting you… can you please tell me what happened? I promise I won't go off… right now is all about you and not my brother."

Letting out a soft sigh, "Lelouch-"

"Sorry to interrupt, but is there something else I could get for you two? More refills, desserts, our special pies for this month?" A young man with shaggy hair exchanged a look between the complicated friends. A thin smile plastered onto his face to stay confident and happy for a good service.

"No thank you, a check would be nice." Lelouch broke into a smile that matched the waiters.

"I'll be right on it sir."

"Give me a moment." Lelouch excused himself as he fished out his wallet. Meanwhile C.C. found herself gazing outside beautiful world.

A world that she found happiness in with her friends, and while she enjoys seeing the sun rise and fall… her mother is busy gawking miserably at white walls and pill capsules. No matter how much she despise the woman now… it's not fair that she has to be locked away in a mental facility… all alone with no visitors with the exception of Schneizel. Nobody to cares enough to spend a least a second with her. Her Aunt Sarah never has the time and she doesn't want to see her.

If she were in her position… would someone come and see her? How lonely must she be right now? Honestly if it wasn't oddly for her, she would've never met Lelouch or any of the friends she has now.

"C.C."

"Huh?"

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah… Lelouch, is it alright if I stay at your place for tonight? I don't think I can go back right now." She slid out of the booth, double checking behind her before heading out the diner with him.

"No problem, I think you might have some clothes at my place but if not- Well you already know the way around my drawers."

"That is true my dear warlock… that is true."

"Meanwhile I still haven't be able to relax since I arrived here. I'm too busy looking out for you." Lelouch playfully flicked her on the nose in which he earned a small protest from her.

"That sounds like a personal problem Lelouch."

"Yeah, you're my personal problem C.C."

#

Once they arrived at his apartment, Lelouch let out huge sigh, dragging his seemingly heavy body inside his bedroom before throwing himself on the large bed tiredly.

"I'm so tired!" He yelled into the pillow. Looking at C.C. who laid next to him a moment later once she changed out of her clothes and into his dress shirt. "How are you not tired after all the chaos you caused at the shopping mall?"

"Don't know, but that lady had it coming."

"You were always a trouble maker."

"Yeah and if Suzaku was here, he would agree that that woman had no right looking at me like that just because we kissed. She should've kept her smug look and comments to herself."

"I guess your right in a way. Though that doesn't give you a right to call her a disgusting-"

"No need to repeat, I know what I said."

Lelouch just smiled at the beauty. Even after hitting rock bottom, she still puts on a good show to climb her way back to the top.

After a late lunch, they spent the rest of the afternoon trying to unwind from the stressful situation by mindlessly strolling around town before find themselves at a shopping mall. At first it was going well, but when C.C. kissed him a little too passionately, a nearby woman freaked and called them out by saying they're too indecent. At first he was going to apologize for the PDA but C.C. went full blown anarchy and argued with the woman in what seemed like forever. It was a bunch of nonsense, it got so bad that they were eventually assisted out the store.

Seriously, what is he going to do with her. She's so unpredictable.

"I forgot how big and comfy your bed is." The beauty kicked off her shoes then slid underneath the warm sheets. Resting on her side to face him with a gleeful smile adoring her.

Although he wants nothing more than to pretend like there isn't a personal war going on, what she's been avoiding all day long eventually has to be talked about. It's his duty as not only a future lover, but as her bestfriend to understand and help her get through the hard times.

"C.C."

"Yes?"

He sat up looking down at her with a downcast frown. "It's been bugging me all day and I tried to be patient by giving you some space, but- I'm tired of waiting. You're beating around the bush and I can't help but feel like the bush. As your long-time friend I want to be here for you."

"You're really going to make me say it." C.C. mentally hit herself for dragging this out for far too long. Sitting up also, she added some space in between so she wouldn't have to see him do it if he has a bad reaction with what she's about to tell him. "Lelouch… after that day you found me wounded from my mother's infliction, you know I had Acute Stress Disorder for a while before just the anxiety right?"

Lelouch nodded his head yes, not really sure why she's repeating things he already knew about her. But he decided to listen to her instead of interrupting.

"I haven't really told anyone this, but after many nightmares I suffered from, I developed a fear I didn't want to happen. Growing up, my Aunt would always tell me how much I looked like my mother. I know she didn't mean anything bad by it, but deep down inside I want to tell her to stop. I wanted nothing to do with my mother after she just left me to die, and because I heard that phrase so many times… a fear of one day becoming her plagued me."

Lelouch's mouth gaped slightly open, realization hitting him hard in the chest. Sending harmful pangs in his heart.

"I-Is that why you asked if I thought you looked like your mother?" she nodded her head, looking down at the sheets in shame. "C.C., why would you ask in the first place? You're nothing like Kat-"

"Because when she was angry, she took it out on whatever was nearby including me. When she was upset she often cut her hair and dyed it brown. And the things she did… I did the same almost unconsciously. That's what you saw… it was all me."

"C.C.-"

"Lelouch the reason why I kept mountains of prescription pills is because it was my cushion just in case I became her. But in my darkest days where I felt like I couldn't turn to anybody as my anxiety and fear became overwhelming, I tried ending my life. Schneizel found me and was there to help empty my stomach before taking me to the hospital. After that… he promised to never mention it or tell anyone. As for the pills… I guess old habits die hard because I always kept them around no matter fear how lessened the fear became." C.C. glanced at Lelouch who wore an intensive look. Not really knowing how to take it, she continued- "Schneizel knew everything and used it against me in our argument because he knew how much I struggled with it."

"Why didn't you just tell me? After everything we've gone through, you didn't think that I would be there to help?" C.C. refused to meet his gaze, so taking the initiatives he scooted closer to her. Lifting a hand to prop her chin up, her cold demeanor was as transparent as it could be. Like crystal clear water. "I would never turn you away, don't you know that by now? C.C.-" Lelouch ran his fingers through her hair. "My thought of you will never change… I'm hurt that you didn't tell me this."

"Lelouch-"

"You don't have to explain. I understand. Just... if something ever pulls you back into darkness, don't ever be afraid in letting me know."

"Okay... I promise."

He kissed her briefly on the cheek. "I'm going to shower. Get some sleep."

The raven-haired man gave her one final kiss on the cheek before leaving the bed. Laying back down as she snuggled underneath the sheets once more, she watched him pull out a pair of boxers and a towel before retreating inside the bathroom.

A sense of loss and insecurity hit her harder than a ton of bricks. Looming over her like a dark shadow. The uneasy daunting feeling like she just failed the most important person in the world to her made her feel queasy. All these years they've been hopping around in circles around each other. If they'd just got together in the first place then none of this nonsense drama would be happening. If she only ended her engagement to Schneizel sooner. Then maybe they can be together with no worries about being caught or staying a hushed secret.

Hearing the shower spray start, C.C. kept her eyes glued on the bathroom door wondering about many what if's. They say that everything happens for a reason. This whole time, she's been sitting in the backseat watching Lelouch pick up her many fragmented pieces, dirtying his fingers in the process... just for her.

He's always been so loyal, loving, and kind. What has she given him in return?

Deciding that she wasn't going to wait for him, C.C. leap out of bed, grabbing a clean towel from where he kept them and slowly, very silently, entered the bathroom. Softly clicking the door shut, she set aside her towel on a rack. Noting that he still hadn't noticed her, a funny thought came to mind to scare him, but then again Lelouch can be so dramatic and kick her out instead.

Slowly undoing the buttons of his dress shirt she proudly wore, the fabric easily slipped off her frame once the translucent buttons were free from their latches. Slipping off her panties soon after, C.C. nervously brushed her hands through her hair. Attempt to look at herself in the mirror, but failed since it had been fogged due to the steam.

"You got this… it's just a shower." Encouraging herself, C.C. opened the glass door and snaked herself inside.

Feeling a cool breeze hit his body, Lelouch quickly turned away from the shower head only to see C.C. idly stepping inside. "Uh… can I help you?"

"Yes." The green witch stepped closer to him, leaning up slightly to firmly kiss to his wet lips. But his lack of reciprocation forced her to end as soon as it started. "Is something the matter?"

"No, it's not that." Lelouch could feel a heated blush crawl onto his cheeks. The temptation to not look down becoming almost unbearable. "We uh- C.C. you're naked."

"And so are you. We've seen each other naked before." She took a peek down below his body with an amused grin gracing her lips. Her heart nervously racing at the sight before meeting his violet hues. His blush darkening when he caught sight of her staring.

"We've never seen each other this naked." Lelouch turned to the tiles. Yeah he may have seen her breasts before and images of naked women at school, tv, and so on. But he's never really been that intimate with a woman before. Clearing his throat hard to ease his tension, "I thought you were going to bed?"

"Initially... I wanted to be with you instead." C.C. admitted and Lelouch looked at her almost shockingly before switching to a smile.

"You're something else you know that right?"

Stretching out to hold her small waist, the honest man pulled his lover for a embrace. The water hitting his back as she shielded her from the warm sprays. Distractedly, feeling her naked body pressed against his had his mind running wild in the depths of passionate thoughts. He could feel her nipples prod against his chest which sent exciting chills throughout his body. The feeling is without a doubt sensual.

Sliding her hands along his back, she pulled him even closer. She wants to what he feels, wanted him to know that she'll never leave his side.

Pulling back slightly, their eyes connected shortly before meeting halfway in unison for an enduring kiss.

The steaming water along with the way her lips passionately moved against his had him feeling fuzzy. Giddiness coursed though him as his hands explored the new skin that's shamelessly exposed for him to touch. Dragging his fingers along her thighs, he dipped his hand in between her womanhood. Feathery touching her sex, sending electric shocks throughout her body. Especially with the way he's kissing her.

And as pleasing as it may be, the feeling didn't last long when stopped to touch her breasts.

Letting out a verbal hmph, C.C. mimicked his movements by tracing his thigh then reaching for his shaft. Lelouch throatily groaned softly as a solitary finger traced his member before wrapping her fingers around him, giving him a few drawn out pumps before abandoning him to thread her fingers in his midnight hair.

Breaking the kiss for air, "You're tease."

"Look who's talking." They both laughed, meeting for another kiss. When they pulled away for a second time, "Would you like me to wash your hair?"

"Aww, how very sweet of you." She teased.

Handing him the shampoo bottle she turned her back to him and waited patiently for him to start. Once he squeezed out enough, immediately the strong smell of jasmine and nature filled the air. Lelouch rubbed his hands together to evenly spread the shampoo, lathering her still surprisingly short hair. Although the reason it's cut is not good, he's somewhat oddly grateful that he did haven't to wash that long hair.

Seriously? How could she even deal with that much on a daily? Even he sometimes get tired of washing his own hair and it's way far shorter than hers.

The relaxing sensation as his scrubbing fingers massage her scalp almost put her to sleep. His hands were so soothing and worked finely in her hair. Once he was done they switched positions so that she could wash out the shampoo. Offering him the same treatment, she did the same in washing his hair. Even if he was being a jerk and laughed at her as she struggled shampooing due to his height, but eventually once he got his laughs out he lowered his height a little for her benefit.

Such a humorous man indeed. He always knew how to make her laugh and smile in the most simplistic ways. And for that—

She loves him for it.

#

"As always feel free to wear anything you like." Lelouch informed as they exited the shower, kissing the small woman on top her head before hanging his towel. After a very rigorous wash session where he tried touch her modestly, which he failed miserably as he was infatuated with her butt, they ended their showering on a high note feeling satisfied.

C.C. wrapped the towel around her body so it would stay as she dried her hair with another. Tossing into the laundry hamper when she was done, the woman made her way to his dresser. Although dressing for bed wasn't exactly what really wanted to do. Glancing over her shoulder where Lelouch sat at the edge of the bed drying his hair— C.C. bit her lip intently.

"Lelouch."

"Hmm?"

The raven-haired man looked up to see her standing in front still clad in the cotton towel. Small droplets of water ran down her skin, her eyes solely focused on his, sending another wave exciting chills throughout his body.

Stepping a little closer she undid her towel tantalizingly, exposing her all for him once more. Even if not just a moment before they were showering together, having him see her like this felt more exciting… more sensual… more erotic. And when his breath visibly hitched she took the opportunity to straddle his hips, purposely directing her center over his. The boxers he wore as their only barrier. Instantly his hands tingled in temptation to roam his hands on her freely. Her nakedness sending his heart racing on a whole different level.

"Lelouch." She cupped his cheeks, coaxing him into a sensual kiss. "Oh, Lelouch." C.C. lightly moaned kissing him further. Her heart pounded harder against her chest than it ever has done before. Butterflies rupturing in the pits of her stomach when she felt his fingers dance along the expanse of her back while gladly reciprocating the kiss. With each exposure he touched, it burned her skin delightfully, leaving behind a greater sense of wanting him to touch her even more. As Lelouch dragged his hands down the smooth arch of her back, he finally met the curve of her waist before firmly planting his hands. Taking that as her green-light, C.C. slowly began to grind against his groin. Provoking a low groan from him, rising his want to have her in every way possible frighteningly.

For him, he wants to make her moan in complete bliss and call out his name in need as he bury himself deep inside. Satisfying both their pleasures.

Regretfully pulled away from her sweet mouth-

"C.C. I don't think—"

"Shhh, Lelouch you second guess too much." She quickly silence all his doubts when she lured him in for another kiss, allowing Lelouch to let his desires to play for him.

Kissing her fervently he probed his tongue in her warm captivates, not giving her the opportunity to grant permission as his warm tongue swivel inside. Stroking her's with his, they fought for dominance in a heated dance all the while making sure she kept moving against him. C.C. might not be doing much per his arousal, but she's driving him insane with desire. A sense of pride boosted his confidence when her heightened arousal damped his boxers where she moved to her own accord faster against the bulge, his member hardening fast at the pleasing feel of her.

C.C. whimpered throatily, not daring to pull away from their heated dance when he kissed her harder. Becoming a little frustrated that his boxers were becoming an nuisance, she tried to keep the feeling at bay as she ran her hands up and down his naked torso. Occasionally teasing him by brushing his nipples before wrapping her arms around his neck. Lelouch may not be the most fit person in the world, but to her his body is perfect the way it is.

In a quest for more satisfaction, Lelouch closed the distance between their bodies and flipped their positions onto the bed, moving higher so that her head rested comfortably on a pillow.

Being gifted a small kiss on the lips from him, C.C. felt his warm tongue languidly lick her neck, giving it a small bite before roughly sucking on the juncture. Her pulse quickened, her body unconsciously reacting as she bucked her hips against his hips in need to feel him. The lust to have him overwhelmed her, she wants to feel all of him, wants him to all to herself selfishly, and most of all she wants him have his way with her as he pleases. Crazy how he barely touched her and she's already feeling extremely horny. So unlike her, who would've thought she'd feel this desperate to have him.

Releasing her pulse, Lelouch gave a wet kiss to the soon to be bruise, a marking to show that tonight she is his. All his and nobody else.

Trailing heavy kisses against her collarbone, he slowly moved down in between the valley of her breasts, listening as her soft whimpers come out in ragged breaths. Kissing the top of one, his greedy hands fondled her ample breasts gently. His hands squeezing the softness strongly, rubbing them in small firm circles. The rising peaks of her nipples only set fuel to the fire that is his lust for her. Lelouch watched her eyes flutter shut, her mouth gaping slightly in a quiet moan. Turning to her right breast, he leaned in, teasingly clamping the taut nipple between his teeth before giving testing a stroke with his tongue.

"Lelouch…"

Pleased with her response, he brought his mouth to her nipple, sucking the peak while firmly massaging the lonely breast. Her moans were small rewards, her chest arching against his mouth in the need to feel more. More of his sly ministrations. C.C.'s control was starting to slip as his careful yet seemingly rough touches had her mind go in a haze. A sheet of fog that won't be going away, a cloud that only took her higher and higher.

Switching over to the adjacent breast, Lelouch gave the same treatment as the other before abruptly stopping with a wet pop. Without a doubt, there's no hiding that she's enjoying herself. The raven-haired man studied hard at the beauty, at the way her cheeks flushed and the way her body heaved for air. Tonight he plans to pleasure her until she's completely spent… but in all honesty… he doesn't really know how since he actually never gotten this far before. The knowledge he gained from school or even hearing stories from his male friends couldn't fully prepare him on how to actually do it. Learning and hearing stories is quite different when you're actually in the situation. He might appear confident now, but deep down inside he's nervous as hell. She's an experienced lover and he doesn't want to disappoint by his severe lack of experience.

"C.C... do you want me to touch you?" he hotly asked, a smirk forming when she nodded slightly, keeping her eyes locked with his, only this time, her golden hues filled with deep passion. Trailing a solitary finger down her flat stomach then taking a hand to rub her thighs soothingly. "Where do you want to be touched?" He kissed the scar underneath her left breast with loving affection. "Here?" he teasingly licked her abdomen before kissing it. "What about here?" Lelouch daringly moved lower, the bulge inside his boxers starting to strain painfully as he spread her legs wide, presenting her already wet sex to him. Hooking her legs over his shoulders when he rested on his stomach, he kissed in between her thighs, feeling her twitch a little in anticipation. Looking up to meet her gaze one last time, he gave a final smirk. "Or, maybe you'd like it here."

"Lelouch, wai— Ah!" C.C. moaned undoubtedly loud, her lower back arching when his tongue stroked her folds, lapping at the hidden bundle of nerves, tasting her all over. "Ah—" she weaved her fingers through his ebony locks, silently telling him that whatever he's doing felt amazing. Feeling at how he was hesitant at first, she encouraged him as he continued to pleasure her in all the right places. He alternated between prodding her glistening entrance with his tongue before lightly biting her folds then going back to give her hidden nerves attention. The feeling he was giving her is far too complicated to take in at once. She has never felt this good before, never had the luxury of being treated. Lelouch experimented and as he did, he took notes on what she liked depending on how loud her whimpers became or what made her buck for more. Lelouch then trailed a stray hand to reach for her breast, pinching the pink bud to help in heightening her arousal, making her whimper even louder.

"Oh, Lelouch… that feels soo good."

Raising his body slightly off the bed while tending to her, with mild difficulty when his erection became too hard to stay restricted in boxers, he hooked his thumb into the waistband, moaning as he continued to lick clean her flowing juices. Freeing his arousal, it sprang free from the article before Lelouch tossed it aside randomly. Taking a look at C.C. again, her cheeks were even redder, breathing even heavier, and her eyes were shut tight as one of her hands knead the opposite breast while the other clinched onto the sheets tightly. This sight is truly priceless, and hearing her moan almost wantonly while her hips rocked against his mouth as he tasted her erotic sweetness... he knew he would love to do this again to her really soon. He can't deny how his heart raced or how bolts of lighting shocked him just by watching her lose herself in euphoria.

It was almost too perfect. A fantasy that came to life.

Giving himself a few much needed strokes for his yearning member, he closed his eyes to indulge in her pleasure further. Taking his hand to spread her folds even more for show, Lelouch easily slipped two fingers inside her warmth, while at the same time giving her clit a hard suck.

"Oh yes… yes don't stop… Ah that's good... oh very good."

C.C. whined wantonly, her heart raced so fast she was afraid that it might combust. She truly never felt this horny before, she's almost embarrassed by how needy and loud she sounded, but she can't help it when he's making her feel so good. Her sex throbbed desperately, rocking her hips to the rhythm of his fingers as he fingered her relentlessly. Hitting her g-spot every time with each bent of his fingers as his mouth continued alternating between suckling and flicking his tongue at her clitoris. At first she knew he was hesitant but now that he's more sure of himself, she knew for a fact that he's going to bring her complete bliss. Every stroke of his fingers had her walls clamping around them in need, every moan he gave- vibrations sent directly to her core. The pits of her stomach coiling tight as her mind turned into complete mush, the primal desire to chase after her orgasm overtook her, and then—

"AH! L-Lelouch, Oh yes Lelouch!"

C.C. shouted for the world to hear. Her back arched off the bed, hands holding tight on the sheets, her body thrashing and trembling unabashedly as she continued to cry out her abrupt release. Probably the most explosive, intense, best orgasm she ever had. Lelouch groaned not missing a single drop of her sweet womanhood as she rode out her release. Then slowly his firm licks and pumps of his fingers came to a stop. His shaft throbbing overwhelmingly as her inner walls clamped tightly around his fingers. Smiling to himself when he looked at her once more as she laid there like jello, he gave a final kiss to her glistening sex before sliding his fingers out of her warm center.

"Sated yet?" He teased rubbing his hands along her creamy thighs. The smell of her arousal high in the air.

"Are you sure you've never been with a girl before?" She breathlessly asked.

"Positive." he seductively kissed up her body. "You're the only one I ever wanted." The young man kissed her lips sweetly, dipping his tongue in her mouth for a sloppy makeout before he pulled away, replacing his lips with the fingers that was once inside her and dived them into her mouth. C.C. blissfully accepted, sucking on his fingers, erotically tasting herself. Not expecting her to actually do it, his cock twitched at the sight, keeping his eyes on either her golden orbs or mouth as she licked his fingers clean.

Moaning seductively, C.C. ran her hands down her body, touching herself sexily, before she took hold of his needy member and stroked it to mimic the movements of her tongue. Lelouch outwardly groaned, imagining her tongue on him instead of his fingers. Lightly thrusting into her hand, he then pulled his fingers out to indulge her in for another heated kiss, then suddenly the room spun when she flipped their positions.

Swiftly straddling his hips in dominance.

C.C. reached in between them, stroking his shaft once more, spreading around the precum that started to seep from the slit of the head.

Directly placing her wet center on his erection, she idly grind against him.

A deep growl escaped past his lips at the new sensation, it's far better than what he could ever bring himself in the past. Keeping his attention where they were joined, his heart sped as his erection easily slipped in between her slits, wetting his shaft with her arousal, tauntingly moving slow as she also added to his pleasure by rubbing the sensitive head of his shaft.

"C.C… I-I don't have any condoms." He blurted and all she did was give him a smile. Enjoying how willingly he gave himself to her.

Snaking her hands up his chest, she cupped his cheeks giving him a small kiss. "Next time… have some nearby." she giggled kissing him even more, picking up the pacing of sliding her sex against his. "Too bad I'm not on birth control, otherwise this would've been your lucky day." Lelouch gripped her hips moving her more fluidly against him to match his bucking hips.

"Ah… C.C. What should we do?"

"I want you really bad—" She suddenly grabbed his member, teasingly rubbing the weeping head against her entrance before easily sliding it inside her sheathe. "Ah... I don't know if you can handle it though. Can you pull out on time?"

"Fuck..." Lelouch tossed his head back, letting out a moan at the definite new feeling. C.C. felt so warm, soft, and tight, her walls clenched around him unforgivably. He's grateful that she's moving slow because right now he feels as if he could come at any moment. After she moved for them both for a while, he chased away all rational thoughts as her warmth around his member consumed him. And almost instinctively when he felt okay to continue, he started thrusting inside her.

"Lelouch… does that feel good?" she moaned. He filled her so nicely she didn't want to tease him any further by pulling away. Initially that was her plan, to give him a sneak peek to what he is missing, but hell… this feels too great to stop now. His length and girth were perfect for her, everything to her liking. "Do you- Ah, do you like it Lelouch?"

C.C. closed her eyes when his thrusting matched his eagerness, she bounced and rode his manhood like this was the only time they get to have each other.

"C.C. you feel so good. So good... soo- Ah... C.C."

He ram his cock inside a little harder, trying to pace himself, but she just felt so damn good. Everything he ever thought about what it was like to be with her was far greater than what he could imagine. For certain the enchanting beauty was enjoying herself as she continuously moaned, firmly planting her hands against his chest as she lost herself in their unison pleasure. Her body flushed hot, her cheeks blushed crimson, even her hair looked like a mess as some strands wetly clung onto her from sweat. Although he's not one to judge because he's almost certain that he looked the same.

Holding back his groans, he watched her ample breasts bounce as she rode him hard, tossing her head back slightly moaning towards the ceiling, and every time they met when he thrust back inside hastily, their skins slapped wetly. Creating another sound that filled the room besides their moans and groans.

"Mmmm, Lelouch harder." She whined as her hand urgently touched her clit in fast circles. "Lelouch you feel so good…yes Lelouch… yes, yes, yes….. Ah!"

C.C. had another orgasm, much faster than usual yet more intensive than the first.

Listening to her moans while watching her reach bliss on top as her walls clamped onto him even tighter before, it quickly brought him over the edge. There's just no way he can last any longer. His thrusts were losing synchronicity and the familiarity of his own release made itself known… loud and oh so very clear.

"... C.C. I'm so close." His thrusting turned erratic when her walls pulsated around him… "C.C. I-I'm about to cum."

The woman pulled what energy she has left and briskly removed herself off of him, uncouthly taking him in her mouth. She should feel ashamed at how vulgarly dirty she's being as she bobbed her head, utilizing her hands with one rubbing the base of his shaft where he mouth couldn't reach while the other went to massage his sac. Swishing her tongue frantically she drove him even closer to his foreseen release. With Schneizel she was not as eager or as excited compared to when she is with him. Having sex with Schneizel is completely different like two worlds apart than it was having sex with Lelouch.

Lelouch watched his member disappear in her mouth over and over and then— his hand reached for her head, coaxing her to keep moving as his back slightly arched in tension as he came. His release hit him hard, his heart dangerously fluttering fast. All throughout his body, bliss washed over him. C.C.'s mouth continued prolonging his release as she took on all his load. Just like what he had done to her earlier, she slowed down into a stop. Sucking the tip sexily before pulling away from him, swallowing his thick warm seed while watching him pant heavily. Lost in euphoria with a silly smile on his face.

"Is that better than your hand Lelouch?"

"Shut up. Must you ruin my moment?" He smiled.

Lelouch tugged on her arms to pull her in a passionate kiss. The idea of him tasting himself dawned on her greatly which oddly excited her. Heck… he made her taste herself so why not do the same. When they broke apart they laid on the bed side by side, both very sweaty and slightly sticky. Neither expecting this event to happen anytime soon nonetheless actually take place. But either way… they're both happy it actually happened.

"Lelouch?"

"Yeah?" He gathered what energy he had to turn off all the lights before joining her back in bed.

"Do you want to know who's better out of you and Schneizel?"

Lelouch's eyes widened distastefully. "No thank you I rather not. Thanks for putting that idea in my head now." He pouted child-like.

"I'm just playing with you Lelouch… you need to lighten up." C.C. placed a few absent kisses on his shoulder blades before snuggling against his chest. "Goodnight Lelouch."

"Goodnight…"

A thick wall of silence formed in between, taking a moment pass and then—

"Am I better than him?"

"I thought you didn't want to know."

"Well now I'm curious."

"Don't worry about it." she kissed him on the lips. "Goodnight Lelouch."

"You're definitely a witch."

"But I'm your witch."

They both laughed a little and talked a little longer before finally succumbing to sleep.

What felt like mere thirty-minutes of sleep when it's actually been hours, C.C. abruptly roused from slumber. Taking in her surroundings, remembering that she's at Lelouch's place, she glanced over her shoulder to see that the raven-haired man was still sound asleep snuggling underneath the sheets. Plotting her head back onto the pillow, she reached for her phone that sat on the bedside table to check the time.

"4:18am… it's a lot earlier than I thought it was."

Letting out a yawn she was about to set her phone back down to join the man next to her in slumber when realized that she has text messages from Schneizel a few minutes ago. He has the weirdest times of texting her, but after what happened… she didn't expect for him to reach out to her so soon.

Opening the messages she read—

Schneizel: Hello my love, hope you are feeling better because I do. :)

His words twisted her stomach to the point of disgust.

Schneizel: Come by my house tomorrow afternoon…. We have a lot to talk about.

Looking back at Lelouch, this confrontation is bound to happen. If she truly wants to end this feud between not just her and Schneizel, but between brothers… then she might as well face it head on tomorrow.

C.C.: Fine, I'll see you tomorrow.

Before she even had the time to set her phone down— her blood ran cold when he quickly responded back. "What kind of sick joke is he trying to pull?"

Schneizel: Good, I'll see you soon.

Schneizel: Oh, tell Lelouch I said goodnight. I'm certain you're with him. Aren't you Cecaniah? ;)

Schneizel: Sweet Dreams

AN: My apologies for the slight delay. I had two different versions for this chapter and I struggled on which one to do… I just hope I picked the right one. I wrote a one-shot smut not too long ago and with what feedback I got (thank you), I felt a little comfortable writing it now. I know it's not perfect, but I did do my best. So hopefully you enjoyed it somewhat. That being said, what did you think of this chapter? Feel free to let me know what you think, comment, ask questions, review, etc. Until next chapter.

P.S.S. Next update will be on 5/26/17
