Author's Note: If anyone is familiar with my series, this oneshot does takes place before Shadow and Rouge officially had started dating. Which means during this point of the series, her heart is still torn between Knuckles and Shadow. Anyway, good to be back in action! Enjoy!

"Heh, man look at him go..." the beautiful white bat woman murmured under her breath while she leaned her back against one of the support beams on her white deck. While she stood under the shady deck that was protecting her from the sun's harmful rays, her eyes gazed onto her small back yard. Her eyes were locked onto a male black and red hedgehog that was mowing her lawn with a push mower. Her eyes scanned and saw that he was without a shirt but wearing dark blue fitted jeans, and black and white sneakers. Her eyes hungrily stared at the hedgehog's bare chest. The air was humid which was fitting for the middle of summer. So she admired the sweat on the hedgehog's body to show off his more muscular features. She couldn't help but to lowly laugh at herself, "God I'm such a horny bitch. I gotta get my head out the gutter."

She rested her head up against the white support beam and slightly made a sigh while she crossed her arms across her chest. She began to remember all the times the two had worked together while out on missions with the rest of the Chaotix team. When the two first met, Shadow absolutely wanted nothing to do with her. But as the two worked together, they began to get closer to closer. Before they both knew it, they started having feelings for one another. They decided to secretly see each other behind their fellow teammates backs. Shadow refused to be open about a relationship between the two but the two would still continue to see each other. But now that Shadow knows that he is a half demon, he keeps any emotional feelings for her at a distance and allows her to enjoy a 'normal' relationship with someone else. Now Rouge's heart is torn between two men she cares about. Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw the hedgehog starting to put away the mower inside of her garage. She stepped off of the back deck and walked into the garage to meet him there.

After he turned the mower off, he heard someone approaching from behind him. He turned to the gorgeous bat woman who was standing in front of his eyes. She had on a pink tank top, an extremely short pair of denim shorts, and light brown flip flops. He could on one hand see why she was dressed so provocativly because of how hot it was. Or she could've done so to get a reaction or comment from him. Either way, he wasn't mad about it.

"Shadow..." The bat woman crossed her arms while she smirked at him, "You didn't have to fix the mower and then volunteer to cut the grass. I could've done it myself."

He laughed under his breath, "Yeah right then you'd complain because you broke a nail doing it all."

She huffed angrily, "You're a bastard."

"Yeah? That's why you like me", he teased as he walked towards the door that led inside of her house.

A light blush covered her face, "Oh shut up!" She shouted angrily while she followed him into the house.

Shadow stopped in his tracks and turned to her when they were both standing in the middle of her living room. "You know I was expecting a thank you from you but I guess I'm not getting that lucky huh?"

"Like I said", she muttered angrily while she turned her head away from him. "No one asked you to do anything."

"If not me then who? Your boyfriend who spends way too much time looking after a shiny rock?"

"You shut up about that!" She yelled, "The Master Emerald is important to him and the island and you know it!"

He scoffed under his breath and turned away from her as he hated bringing up the red echidna she was dating. "Whatever...let me use your shower."

She slightly paused from his comment and thought it was just completely random, "Wha-what?"

"I'm a little fucking dirty and I could use one", he spoke bitterly.

"What! No way!" She pointed her index finger at him. "You go home and use your own shower!"

"I'm not leaving smelling like a freshly cut yard!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

Rouge laid her body on the white sofa of her living room in silence. All she could hear was the running water from the shower that was upstairs in her bedroom. She slightly sighed in defeat as Shadow had won their little argument about letting him use her shower. 'Come on, Rouge', she thought. 'You're dating Knuckles! Why do you keep letting this hedgehog get so close to you! It's already bad enough we're still kind of seeing each other...and behind Knuckles' back...' Her eyes shifted onto the pile of white towels that was folded on the recliner that was next to her. 'Knuckles really doesn't deserve this...' She rolled her eyes away from the pile of towels and looked up at the white ceiling. "Crap I forgot to give him towels..." she angrily muttered.

Moments later, Shadow was almost done cleaning himself inside the shower. His ears twitched when he heard the knob to the door turn slowly. Not long after that, he heard Rouge's voice.

"Hey um, I forgot to give you fresh towels." When Rouge bent her body over to put the towels on the floor, she was startled when Shadow had pulled back the shower curtain. Her eyes widened as she caught sight of his dripping wet bare body. "Fucking christ!" She quickly spun around to hide her embarrassed face. "You couldn't wait until I left the bathroom?"

He formed a small yet sly smirk, "What? It isn't something you haven't seen before."

She angrily took a deep breath. "I've seen it enough thank you." Her body quivered when she suddenly felt his warm yet wet body against the back of her body. He took her hand and forced her to stroke it against his uprising member.

He took his other hand and began to playfully fondle her breasts, "Not enough apparently."

She had then jerked her body from his and turned to him with her back against the wall of the small bathroom. "You know I can't say no to you when you treat me like this", she lowly spoke. Her eyes shifted away from his until he took his finger and placed it under her chin to force her to look at him.

"Like what?", he whispered aggressively to her as his wet and naked body pressed against hers. "A whore?"

She felt his member quickly become rock hard as it rubbed against her lower region through her clothes. She angrily looked into his eyes, "You're getting my clothes wet."

"We can fix that", he replied as he grabbed her by her thigh and forced her leg to wrap around his body.

He was becoming rough with his actions and she couldn't deny that his gestures were turning her on. She could feel his hard member rubbing against her as if she wasn't wearing clothes. She wanted it inside of her. This feeling was torture. Her hips slightly grinded against his as their bodies got closer.

A sly smirk formed on his lips. At that moment he knew he had won her over. "Doesn't that feel good?"

At this point her body was reacting all on its own. Her hands pulled his body closer to her and grinded her lower body against his more fiercely. "Stop fucking playing with me." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a hot and passionate kiss.

While their tongues fought in each other's mouths, he took one of his hands and undid the buttons to her denim shorts. Once her shorts were loose enough, he shoved his hand down between her thighs. He heard a gasp escape her as his fingers rubbed and stroked against her clit. The more he stroked her, the more wet she became. He took his lips from hers and angrily looked into her eyes, "I'm not fucking playing", he muttered.

Rouge's body was then lifted from the floor and was carried into the shower. Her back met the wet white wall of the shower. She continued to grind her body against his and held onto him while they were lip locked. She then took her lips away from his and huffed as she was a little out of breath. "Fuck...you're getting my clothes wet..."

He arched a eyebrow towards her, "Fuck your clothes. I'm going to drench your whole body", he spoke in a soft and sensuous tone as his lips pressed against her collarbone.

While he softly and playfully kissed around her neck and chest, she could feel the tugging of her shorts and thong coming down and falling around her feet. Rouge's head leaned back into the wall as she felt his fingers continuing to stroke against her. It wasn't long before he began to play with her large breasts through the pink soak and wet tank top that exposed her erect nipples.

She winced slightly as he roughly fondled her large breasts. The tank top hastily was ripped off of her body and tossed out of the shower. Her leg was then picked up and wrapped around his body. She bit her lip when she felt the tip of his member slowly being placed inside of her. She let out a gasp as he shoved himself inside of her, "Oh, Shad..."

He began to thrust himself in and out of her, "You're still not used to my dick?" He heard her moans getting louder with every thrust. "Why am I not surprised? Especially when I'm bigger and better than your no good boyfriend."

She gripped onto his shoulders as she felt him thrust himself even harder inside her. "Don't make this about Knuckles", she panted heavily.

"When I'm the only one who can truly satisfy you. He doesn't have shit on me and you know it." He slowly and sensuously licked the side of her neck before kissing around it softly, "That's why you keep coming back to me."

"St-stop it", her fingertips gripped tighter on his shoulders. "You know I feel for you both", she softly spoke.

"Why?" He spoke in an angry tone. "So you can have the sweet and innocent side with one guy and have a dominating and fucked up one with the other?"

"It's...it's not like that..." Her words trailed off when she felt him suddenly take himself out of her. Her entire body flinched when she saw him slam his hand against the wall that was close to her head. Other than the sound of the water running from the shower, there was a moment of silence between the two.

It took a moment for him to finally look back into her concerned eyes. He could tell that he was scaring her with his actions, but in a way he didn't care. He wanted her to know that what she was doing to both him and Knuckles was killing him. "Yes it is", he murmured angrily. "You love the thrill of fucking us both. Then again what else to expect from a fucking slut?"

His words hurt but she knew that deep down that he was right and she felt so horrible about it. "Shadow, I..." His finger was then pressed against her soft lips to silence her.

He took his finger from her lips and gently placed his hand on the side of her neck as he leaned in close to her ear. "Don't worry. I'll give you what you want", he whispered to her.

She slowly closed her eyes when she felt his lips press against her neck and made their way down her lower body. Her entire body remained still as he softly kissed her stomach. Her heart raced inside of her chest. She couldn't deny that sometimes his words and actions would scare her. She loved having him dominate her but even there were times he would take things too far because she knew how angry he was in the inside just for the sole fact that he couldn't have her all to himself. She hated herself for treating him and Knuckles like this. She couldn't focus on her deep thoughts any longer as she felt his tongue licking her down her lower region. Her fingertips gripped onto the wall behind her when she felt him slowly licking her entrance. "Ah..." She could feel his tongue licking, sucking, and teasing her. She thought she was going to completely lose it when she felt his fingers being easily shoved inside of her. "Oh God..."

He noticed that her moans were getting louder and her hips slightly bucked as he continued to please her. He could tell that she was close and he wouldn't stop until she was satisfied. He licked her clit faster and kept taking his fingers in and out of her soaked opening until he heard her cry out in orgasm.

"Oh! Oh fuck! Shadow!"

His mouth was then filled with her sweet nectar that exploded from inside of her. He noticed that she bucked her hips even more to keep releasing herself. He encouraged her to keep going by using his tongue to continuous massage her.

Her crying out in pleasure filled the bathroom as she got off inside of his mouth even harder. "Oh fuck, Shadow! God damn it!" Her hips slowed until she was finally done releasing herself. Afterwards, she felt like she wanted to collapse to the floor. Her body was trembling and her legs were shaking.

Once Shadow finished lapping up the rest of her sweet nectar, he stood up and made sure she stayed on her feet by holding her around her waist.

Before Rouge could say anything to him, he suddenly slammed his lips into hers and forced his tongue into her mouth. Their tongues fought viciously until she saw him take his mouth from hers and leaned his head against hers. "Shadow", she panted. "Please just stop", she begged out of breath.

"I'm not done with you yet", he snapped coldly before he turned the front of her body up against the wall.

It wasn't long until she felt his hard shaft being forced back inside her. She winced as she felt his large and hard member stroking against the throbbing walls inside of her. She felt him penetrate himself deeper and deeper with each and every thrust he made. His movements got faster and faster until he slammed himself deep inside of her and released himself in her. She let out a loud gasp when she felt his warm juices splash inside of her. Both of them were standing there heavily panting from the heated moment between them. Before Rouge could make any movement, she felt Shadow remove himself from her body and heard him storm out of the bathroom while slamming the bathroom room behind him. She tried hard to fight back her tears and felt the need to rush out the bathroom to talk to him. She looked over at the handle for the shower and turned it off before she stepped out of the shower. She looked down on the floor and grabbed one of the white towels to cover herself with before leaving the bathroom. When she came out of the bathroom, she stood in front of the closed bathroom door in her bedroom. She clenched the white towel she had around her tightly as she saw Shadow getting finished dressing himself by fixing the belt on his blue jeans. "...We need to talk..."

His head turned to her coldly and saw that she was standing there still drenched in water while she held onto the towel to keep her body covered, "There's nothing to talk about."

"Just stop", she spoke in a soft tone. "Just stop acting like this." She bit her lip lightly, "You...you know I love you..." In an instant it seemed, her wrist was then roughly grabbed when he angrily approached her. She had a terrified look on her face as he gave her a menacing look.

"Don't ever fucking say that", he growled. "Ever..."

Her body began to tremble slightly once again as she could feel his anger take him completely take him over.

"I'm sick of being treated second to that damn echidna and I'm sick of the fucking games!" He spat.

"Shad..."

He took his grip away from her wrist and heavily sighed as he looked away from her, "I always put you on this high pedestal and I always get treated like shit for it. I'm tired and I'm done with it."

She remained silent as a tear streamed down the side of her face. She watched him storm over to her bedroom door to open it and then slam it behind him.

Saddened and deep in thought, she made her way over to her bed and sat down on it. She rested her head on her hands as she stared down at the dark blue carpet on the floor. She slightly shook her head and made a deep sigh as another tear fell from her face. "God damn it", she swore under her breath. "I can't believe I said I loved him..." She took her hands away from her head and looked away from floor as she tried to wipe her tears from her face. She clenched both of her fists and slammed them onto her thighs. "I don't know why he's trying to play the victim here! After all..." Her voice began to get low as it cracked, "He's the one who rejected me when I told him I had feelings for him." Even after the scary situation she had with Shadow, this wasn't the first time this had happened between them and she knew that their would be more disagreements between the two in the future. She couldn't help but to make a low laugh. "I guess it'll just be another awkward day of work tomorrow."

Author's Note: Now I know this isn't my best work but I've been out of commission with writing for so long. I'm really trying to get back in the swing of things. I was working on other projects but I'm not even sure if I want to continue them. I do know that I really want to continue with Countdown To Zero. So if anything, I will be working on that in my spare time. So look out for more future updates for me. I gotta say it's good to be back!
