Author's Note: Alright, thank you to everyone who took the time to leave me a review last chapter. I'd go on a list all the people, but I know this is like, the chapter many of you have been waiting for. (Horny, bastards...) Ahem, anyway I won't waste any more of your time. Enjoy, bitches! (And I say that with love.)
[[EDIT:]] People got confused with the Flashback/Time Jumps. Fixed it. I would highly encourage people to go back and re-read chapters if you are lost. The Flashbacks should make sense now.

~Flashback 5 Months Ago~
Amy sat on her couch drinking a glass of wine. It had been five days and Amy had locked herself inside her apartment. She was heartbroken as she drank away her problems on her couch. She had already gone through one bottle of wine and was starting on the second bottle. "Figured you and Sonic would be long gone by now," a familiar voice said from behind. Amy turned her head and spotted Shadow standing on her open balcony. The trap spell had finally worn off and he had escaped. Shadow stepped inside her home, sliding the glass door shut behind him.
She narrowed her eyes at him. "This is all your fault…"
Shadow raised a puzzled brow. "What are you talking about?"
She stood, keeping her wine in hand. "Sonic left me because of you!" she pointed with her free hand. It was apparent she had been drinking a little too much.
"Calm down." He walked over and snatched the glass from her hand. "What do you mean faker left you?" She reached out trying to retrieve her glass back, but Shadow kept it out of reach.
"He left because he doesn't want me to get hurt," she screamed. "Why couldn't you just release him and allow us to be happy?" she said hitting his chest. Every hit did absolutely nothing and he merely shoved her with one hand, allowing her to fall back onto the couch. He put down the glass on the table and approached her.
"I already explained this, Rose. He desecrated my plans of ruling my hybrid army!" he shouted irately. "He thinks he can run, but he will not be able to avoid my wrath," Shadow finished. While Shadow was shouting at her, she slipped her hand down against the side of the cushion and grabbed a wooden stake that she had hidden. She concealed it behind her back so he wouldn't notice.
Amy stood to her feet still holding the stake behind her back. "I'm not going to let you hurt him, Shadow," she said as she slowly stepped towards him.
He admired her determination but knew there was nothing she could do to prevent him from achieving his goal. "And how exactly are you going to stop me?" he asked with a smirk. She pulled the stake out from behind her back and aimed for his heart. With swift agility he dodged her futile attempt, and in a matter of seconds had her pinned against the wall.
With her right cheek pressed against the wall, Shadow held her arms behind her back with one hand, while the other held the stake she once possessed. "Really, Rose?" he said, voice laced with disappointment. He threw the stake out of her reach. "You should know better than this. It was a cute attempt, though." She growled from his joking manner and kicked her right foot back hitting his shin. "Hey!" he released her, cupping his hurt knee.
Amy reached for the empty wine bottle and smashed it against the side of the wall causing it to shatter but leaving her with a makeshift weapon. "You're going to have to kill me if you want to get to Sonic. I will do whatever it takes to keep him safe," she panted.
Shadow growled as he started to find this charade quite annoying. "I don't have time for games, Rose."
"Too bad." She ran towards him, trying to stab him with the wine bottle. Shadow grabbed her by the waist and removed the makeshift weapon from her hands, letting it shatter on the floor. He held her as she struggled to break free. "Let me go!" she screamed.
With one arm around her waist, he used his other hand to cup over her mouth to silence her. Her screaming could alert the neighbors, and he didn't need any more unannounced company. With her screams muffled, she tried to pry his hand from her mouth but was having no success. "I'm not going to kill you," he whispered harshly into her ear. "But if I have to compel you in order to get you under control, I will," he warned as she struggled.
Tears were starting to well up in her eyes so he finally removed his hand from her mouth and released his hold. She spun around to face him, anger rising. "You don't understand. I'm all alone now!" She backed away from him. "First my father and now Sonic. I don't have anyone, Shadow!"
He softened seeing her point. "…Amy."
She moved around him, heading towards her room. "Just go away!" He ignored her pleas and followed after her. When he came into her room, she was lying on the bed, sobbing into her pillow.
Shadow walked up next to the side of her bed and placed a hand on her back. "Let's talk."
She flinched from his touch causing him to retract his hand. "I don't want to talk to you," she cried. "I want Sonic back." She felt a weight press down beside her on the bed and glanced up.
"I know what it's like to feel alone," he started. "I've been alone for centuries myself, and if anyone understands how you feel right now, it's me." She moved off her bed and walked away from him. He sighed and stood up again. "Amy?" As he got closer she turned and suddenly, SLAP! His face snapped to the side. His head slowly turned to look at her. "Fine. I guess I deserved that," he said placing a hand to his cheek.
She glared at him. "If you understand so well, then why take the one person that loved me, and force them to leave?" she snapped. "You know why you're alone?" she said, causing him to back up a bit. "You force those around to abandon you," she said waving a finger in his face. "If there's anyone to blame for your loneliness, it should be you!"
He had to admit, she had hit a note for him, and her argument was making a lot of sense, whether he wanted to agree with it or not. "That's a valid argument, but the only reason I wanted this was so I could have my own family," he explained. I'm not exactly able to reproduce, now am I?"
Amy glanced over her shoulder. "So, by forcing those unwillingly into your control; that's family to you?" she scoffed. "Just face the facts. You and I will always be alone…"
He stood behind her, staring at her sadly. Strangely enough, he could relate to her with the fear of being alone. "…We don't have to be," he suggested softly.
She turned to face him. "If you're suggesting what I think you are, then you're dumber than I thought. I don't like you," she said as she took her gaze away from his. "…You're too dark for my liking, anyway," she mumbled.
He smirked; it was more of a compliment than she was aware of. He made his way back in front of her. "Do not under estimate the allure of darkness. Even the purest of hearts are drawn to it." There was a moment of silence as the two stared at each other. "If Sonic had still been sired to me, he wouldn't have hurt you."
She scoffed at his assumption. "How would you know?"
"I wouldn't have let him." His hand gently lifted her chin to look at him and their eyes locked. "Come now, I know you are curious."
She jerked her chin away from his hold, and looked away. "I-I don't know what you're talking about," she said, blushing slightly.
"Don't lie," he smiled coyly. "That night at the ball, I saw it in your eyes, contemplating your feelings towards me after we kissed. I felt it too," he admitted. His arms snaked around her waist, drawing her towards him. She froze as he pulled her in, and couldn't help but to be captured by his mysterious red eyes. "Admit it, you felt something too," he spoke softly.
"No," she rasped. "Now, let me go!" She placed her hands against his chest, trying to pry herself out of his grip but it was no use. His hands slowly slid down her sides, causing her body to grow hot. "Aah." She couldn't believe his touch was causing her body to feel like this. His hands stopped on her hips and continued to hold her in place.
"If you didn't have feelings then prove it," he whispered as he leaned in towards her face.
"Fine," she huffed. She leaned in and pressed her lips against his expecting herself to pull back in seconds, but for some reason she didn't. In this moment, her common sense was telling her to pull away, but it felt so right. She needed this. After all, she was heartbroken, drunk, and feared the thought of being alone. Shadow had won this round by having her fall for his charm. Shadow felt her wrap her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. He tilted his head to the side, kissing her more passionately. It had started off chaste but slowly progressed into a more passionate one.
Surprised by her finally reciprocating her feelings, Shadow continued, not wanting to let the opportunity to slip away. This was all he was hoping for as she kissed him passionately. Amy moaned into the kiss and felt her legs start to weaken beneath her, but Shadow sensed it, holding her steady against him. Her body molded perfectly into his as they made out.
Her adrenaline finally kicked in and Amy let her weakened state control her. She forced him against the wall, surprising Shadow. He let her dominate him as she slipped her tongue in his mouth. He kept a hand behind the back of her head guiding her through the kiss. Shadow was enjoying letting her steer the wheel for a bit, but he wanted to show her the ropes. Using his vampire speed, he reversed them, so he had her pinned against the wall. Amy panted, trying to catch her breath as she stared up at him. He gazed down at her seductively now that she was under his submission.
Shadow dove in to kiss down her neck, causing Amy to gasp sharply as his lips kissed and sucked down the side of her neck tenderly. His hands were busy wandering lower, sensually grazing her sides towards her buttocks. His fangs lightly brushed her neck as he kissed her, but avoided causing any infliction. Amy closed her eyes, feeling her face heat up from the intensity of pleasure Shadow was putting her body under. She had never felt anything quite like it before and absolutely craved his touch. "Please," she gasped finally coming to realization that she was going to allow this act to go further. "…Don't bite me," she moaned, after managing to find her voice.
He finished kissing down her exposed cleavage, before looking up at her heated face with a smirk. "I would never think of doing such a thing," he replied softly. His voice was smooth and the way it rolled off his tongue made it seem he was teasing her. Who could she blame? She didn't want to admit it but Shadow was incredibly sexy.
He lifted her up, guiding her legs to wrap around his waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck. He carried her over to her bed and they continued to look each other deeply in the eyes. Shadow gently laid her down before crawling over top her. He helped unbutton her blouse leaving her now only in her bra and skirt. Amy stared up at him as he quickly discarded his jacket and shirt, leaving him topless. She let her hands reach up and wander his toned chest; admiring how great in shape he was. While her hands caressed up and down his chest, his coiled behind her back to unclip her bra. He removed it, leaving her top half completely bare.
Amy watched as he lowered his head, placing them between her breasts. He kissed and nipped at them tenderly before focusing his attention to one breast in particular. His tongue flicked gently at her left nipple causing her to gasp out, as his other hand fondled her right breast, molding and claiming it tenderly. She closed her eyes and moaned softly, as he enveloped her nipple into his mouth, gently sucking and pulling at it. He was being incredibly gentle with her and was really turning her on. "Aah, Shadow…"
Hearing her voice call out his name drove him into a frenzy. He loved hearing her say his name so erotically. He sat back up and Amy propped herself up on her elbows to see why he had stopped. Shadow grabbed her legs and gently pulled her closer before unzipping her skirt, lowering, and eventually discarding it onto the floor. He came back down and captured her in a kiss. She kissed back feeling his tongue slip into her mouth. She couldn't deny the fact that he was an excellent kisser.
While the two made out, one of his hands slid down into her panties and two of his fingers slipped inside her, causing her to gasp within the kiss. She felt them intrude her core as he fingered her sensually, preparing her for the final act. It didn't take long for him to discover that wouldn't be needed, as she was already so wet, that his fingers glided in and out of her with ease. He parted from their kiss to catch his breath. "You're already so…"
"-Shut up," she blushed as he continued to finger her. A few seconds later, his fingers pulled out from her and he licked them clean. Amy watched as he looked like he savored the taste.
"Hm…" He stared down at his clean fingers before his eyes fell on her lower half. Shadow reached down and lowered her panties leaving her completely nude. Amy felt as Shadow kissed butterfly kisses down her breasts and stomach before spreading her legs. He lowered his head and began to sensually lap away at her hot wet core. Amy gasped loudly as she felt him insert his tongue inside of her. Her body was ready for him, but he wanted to taste and get all she had to offer. She wanted to clamp her legs together from the intense wave of euphoria that he was creating, but Shadow refused her as he held them a part. "Aah…oh god," she moaned, feeling his hot breath cascade down her already heated core. Her hands gripped the sheets as he explored all of her.
His tongue flicked at her G-spot making her moan out. Shadow could feel her vaginal walls clamping up around his tongue as he continued to drag it over her folds. "Ahh!" Her back arched as she suddenly felt a warming sensation happen below. She had orgasmed, and had never felt such immense satisfaction. Shadow was certainly making sure she was pleased before he was.
He climbed back over top her and began to unbuckle his belt. She watched as he slung his belt off and lowered his jeans remaining in only boxers. Soon enough he pulled those down too, revealing his full form to her. She admired how he looked, as he was definitely well endowed. Shadow hovered over her, lowering his face and burying his mouth against the nape of her neck to breathe in her sweet scent. "Amy," he practically purred into her warm flesh. "You are so beautiful," he mused.
Amy shuddered feeling his warm breath roll down the side of her neck. Shadow was telling her all the things a girl would want to hear at this moment, that she had forgotten she had once loathed him. He aligned himself and prepared to enter, but before he did, he laced his fingers with hers, keeping her arms above her head, and gently pinning her to the bed. Then, the moment she had been waiting for, he entered her. She shut her eyes as she felt him slowly push himself in, fitting snugly inside. "Aah…" He stayed still as she adjusted to his size but kissed down the side of her neck to assure her.
Shadow reveled in this moment as her core gripped around his hardened shaft; she was so warm, tight, soft, and wet. He softly moaned as he began to pump in and out of her. It had finally happened, he was sharing the most intimate moment he could, and it just so happened to be with her. He started off slow, wanting to lengthen the special moment. Shadow didn't want this just to be a hookup; he wanted to make passionate love to her. While he continued, he could hear her heart racing in her chest. Amy's soft, erotic, moaning brought music to his ears and her body practically reeked of desire, pleasing him knowing that she was enjoying it.
Normally, Shadow would feed from his victim during sex, but he wasn't going to do that tonight. Although, he had to admit; the pheromones Amy's body were emitting were very intoxicating, making it difficult for Shadow to resist. He could hear the blood pumping within her veins, not that Amy could help it; her body was excited and was practically taunting him for a taste. Luckily for him, he was able to control his bloodlust and instead focus on making her feel good. He lifted his head from the nape of her neck and watched as her face showed complete and utter satisfaction. She had her eyes closed and gently bit her lower lip, as he made love to her. He released his hold on her hands and they instinctively flew behind his back. Her fingers ran down it, making his skin tingle while her erect nipples tenderly grazed his toned chest.
Amy whimpered as he quickened the pace, heightening the intensity of pleasure. He was hitting just the right spot and it was feeling absolutely amazing. It was getting close to the end, and her fingers gently raked down his back, as he bucked his hips into her. Amy's soft breasts gently pressed against his chest with every thrust. She tried to bring her body even closer to his, by wrapping her legs around his waist and bucking her hips against his. She wanted to be as close to him as possible and rested her chin on his shoulder as she held him. "Go faster," she begged softly.
Shadow was never one to obey orders, but if Amy wanted him to go faster he would do it for her. "You got it," he smirked seductively. He placed his hands on her buttocks giving it a gentle squeeze while he put his speed up another notch.
Shadow received a satisfied moan from her. "Aaah…" She could feel the end coming near as he hit the sweet spot just right in a perfect rhythm. "Shadow, Shadow…" He continued his quickened pace and knew it'd be soon before he'd have her completely satisfied. Amy felt herself release, and a rush of warmth emitted down below. Shadow followed her lead and released himself inside her, feeling her inner walls spasm around his shaft. Panting, he looked down as she also caught her breath. Her cheeks were flushed and she stared up at him with a half lidded gaze. His hand caressed the side of her face lovingly.
"You'll never be alone again," he whispered, smiling down at her. She watched as he lowered his face and caught her in another kiss.
She returned the gesture kissing back and running her fingers through his quills, and rolled them over. She broke from their kiss and placed her hands on his chest as she straddled him. "My turn now." He stared up at her curiously and watched as she leaned down and trailed kisses down his chest. He closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of her soft lips caressing his body. Looked like she was ready for round two.

The next morning, Amy was still fast asleep. She hadn't bothered to get dressed after her night of passion with Shadow and was pretty exhausted. Shadow had slept for a few hours but couldn't stop thinking about the night before. He glanced to his left watching Amy sleep soundly, lying on her side with her back facing him.
He couldn't believe he had finally been able to make love with her. Shadow scooted closer and spooned her from behind, pulling her flush against him. He heard her grumble as she started to wake from her slumber. He placed his face on her shoulder and nuzzled it into the cleft of her neck. "Not, now…" she groaned tiredly, shrugging her shoulder and keeping her eyes shut. "I have a headache…" Her drinking last night had finally caught up with her and she was not feeling it. Amy felt him continue to kiss her shoulder softly and finally gave in, rolling over to face him.
When she opened her eyes, she was not expecting to see Shadow lying in bed with her. She had thought she had spent the night with Sonic, but apparently she had forgotten that he had left her. Amy screamed, eyes wide, as she backed away from him in bed while holding the sheets against her chest.
Shadow covered his sensitive ears and looked at her bewildered by her reaction. "What's with the screaming?" he asked while lowering his hands from his ears.
"W-what are y-you doing in my bed?" she stammered, surprised by his presence.
Shadow placed a hand to his face. "Oh, come on…" He couldn't believe he was going to have to explain himself. "We slept together, remember?" he replied.
Amy tried to remember the events from the previous night but it was all a blur. She held a hand to her forehead closing her eyes. "Why don't I remember?"
Shadow raised a brow at her with a disapproving stare. "You drink too much…" He reached his right hand out towards her face. "Here, let me help."
She jerked away from his touch. "No, don't touch me!"
"Amy… I'm going help clear your memory, okay? I'm not going to hurt you," he assured gently. He could see she was completely confused by all of this.
She still didn't believe him and soon enough, an idea crossed her mind causing her to narrow her eyes at him. "You compelled me to sleep with you, didn't you?"
"What?" Shadow gave a confound look by her accusation. "No!"
"You just had to lower yourself to achieve your goal," she continued to accuse.
He crossed his arms over his chest, insulted by her allegation. "For your information, I have never had to compel any female to sleep with me," he gloated confidently.
Amy made her way out of her bed, taking the sheets with her wrapped around her naked frame. "I don't believe you."
Shadow stared at her with a deadpan expression before hopping out of bed, zipping over and placing his hands around the sides of her head. She tried to jerk from his hold, but suddenly everything cleared for her. The throbbing pain from her hangover vanished, and images and memories from the night before played back for her like a film. Shadow removed his hands from her head and gave a sly smirk. He was telling the truth. She blushed, remembering all the things she had said to him during sex. She remembered the way he touched her body and made it feel.
"I see you remember now, judging by your face," he grinned smugly.
She turned away, feeling ashamed with her actions. She could only imagine what Sonic would think of her if he found out. "…Just leave."
Shadow shook his head and grabbed the rest of his discarded clothes off the floor. "I meant what I said last night." He slipped on his t-shirt then his pants. "And what we shared is how I truly feel about you," he said grabbing his jacket.
She kept her back to him not wanting to face him. "I don't want to talk about it…"
He rolled his eyes. She obviously needed some time to process all of this. "Fine, I'll give you some space. See you later." She turned back around and saw that he was already gone.
