At the Chimera
At the Chimera

She licked his neck as her lips made their way to his. The man's moan was silenced as their lips met and she moved over him, taking him into her body. They mated with a wild frenzy, his hands on her large breasts as they moved to the rhythm of their hearts. He moved his hands down her body to caress the heat of her, making her inner muscles clench him tightly as she climaxed. With a hoarse shout of completion, he followed her.

Amelia lay sprawled on her lover's hard chest, her breast heaving with her harsh breath. Zelgadis' hand was caressing her back as their hearts slowly calmed. He moved to the side rolling her with him and breaking their internal contact. She gave a heavy sigh and opened her eyes, a satisfied smile on her face. He only smiled in return, loosing himself into the depths of her dark blue violet eyes.

"Did I hurt you?"

Amelia smiled up at him, lifting a hand to caress his face. "You always ask me that, and I always reply the same way. Of course not." She smiled wickedly as her finger traced the lines of his chest. "What sane woman would ever complain about a lover like you, Zelgadis? A lover who is always hard, whether aroused or not."

Zelgadis let out a low laugh as he lifted her up against him, her legs straddling his hips. "Is that so, Amelia?"

She grinned. "Of course. You can make me burst with an orgasm just by touching me once. I'm always ready for you, love."

"Really?"

His hand moved down her body as he bent his head to nibble at her neck. She arched her back, giving him more access to her as his fingers tormented her nipples. Her breathing became shallow and ragged as he touched her, his hand slowly making their way to the folds that enclosed the gem of her desire, her mails digging into his back as she breathed his name hoarsely. He gave her a rough caress that sent her over the edge and into her orgasm. She convulsed in his arms, her shriek of pleasure resounding through the room. His eyes darkened as he watched her in throws of her climax. He had never had a woman like her, who so blatantly showed her love for him, and who was so open with her desire. God, he adored her.

Amelia was gasping as she turned her glazed eyes to his. The passion she saw burning there inflamed her again. God how she loved and wanted him. Just then, there was a knock on their bedroom door, interrupting them. Zelgadis growled a "What?!" at the door making Amelia laugh.

"Uh, sir? It's fifteen minutes to nine and the line outside is already large. Do I start letting people in?"

Amelia rolled her eyes. "Of course not. I'll be out in a bit. Manage on your won till then, but don't let anyone into the club."

"Yes, Ma'am."

And with that they heard shuffling footsteps movie away from the door.

Zelgadis gave a longsuffering sigh that was abruptly cut off by Amelia's kiss. He was surprised for a moment, but then kissed her back with equal intensity, the kiss growing carnal and desperate. When she eventually pulled away, she gazed into his burning eyes, her body trembling with expectation. "It'll take more than that measly interruption to quench my desire for you, Zelgadis." She gave him a naughty grin. "So why don't you finish what you were planning to do to me before?"

He met her wicked smile with one of his own and pinned her to the bed beneath him. He settled himself between her thighs, her groan of desire fueling his. He lifted one of her legs over his shoulder and her eyes widened with excitement. He gave her a hooded look as he bent his head down to suckle on her heavy breasts slowly moving her other leg to wrap around his waist, fully exposing her heat to him. His hand then traveled up her body reveling in her gasps and cries of pleasure as he buried his hand in her hair, pulling her head back. He licked a nipple fleetingly as he traced her collarbone with his tongue, slowly moving up her neck to her jaw and then tracing her ear. Amelia moaned his name, the pleasure he was giving her overwhelming her beyond insanity. He moved forward slowly, letting her feel his hardness against her soft flesh. Her leg tightened on his waist as she whispered his name on a gasp, begging him to end his torture. He traced her jaw again with his tongue, heading for her swollen lips. And the moment his mouth met hers in a deep carnal kiss, his body surged into hers, her keening cry of ecstasy swallowed by his tongue as he thrust heavily into her, branding her forever as his.

When they finally left the coziness of their musky smelling bedroom, they were both quite content. Amelia was wearing her usual outfit of a tight white dress that ended just above her knees with slits on both side, and a low neckline. The violet corset-like piece added an unusual flavor to the dress only accented her heavy breasts. Tonight she wore a violet choker to match in order to cover a hickey caused by Zelgadis' attentions. Zelgadis stood behind her as they descended in the elevator in his usual black suit with the open collar, his hair tied back in a ponytail.

He wrapped his arms suddenly around her, his head bending down to nibble at her neck as his hands came up and cupped her breasts. She gave a light gasp and then sighed as she leaned back, letting his touch arouse her.

The elevator stopped and the doors slid open, revealing a couple that were passionately kissing. Amelia's arms wrapped around him, and Zelgadis' hands on her rear. A slight cough came from one of the bouncers and the two pulled a part slowly, their eyes dazed. They smiled at each other as they motioned the doors to be opened. Zelgadis bent down toward Amelia's ear.

"Pity nine came so quickly. I had so many other things planned to do to you."

Amelia grinned wickedly up at him. "Well, there's still your dressing room before your performance tonight."

Zelgadis flashed her the same wicked smile back.

"Finally, the door are opening! Does the club usually open so late? I thought they were supposed to open at nine sharp," Lina Inverse stated as the huge line finally began to move forward.

"Maybe they were just busy," Gourry remarked.

She rolled her eyes and turned to Xellos.

"Actually Gourry, you may be right. After all, the Chimera is co-owned."

"What do you mean co-owned," Lina asked. "I've only heard of the mysterious Zelgadis Greywords owning it."

Xellos nodded. "Oh, yes, the mysterious Mr. Greywords, who was once human and now has a mutated body."

"Mutated?" was Gourry's question.

Lina rolled her eyes again and looked up at him. "It means deformed. Changed into something abnormal."

"Oh."

Lina turned back to Xellos. "I had heard something was wrong with him, and that was why he never appeared anywhere and why you never see him. But a mutated body?"

"Well, it's a long story."

Lina looked at the line they were in just for the VIP section. "We've got plenty of time."

Xellos just shrugged. "Well, it was said that Greywords used to help his grandfather out on occasion, his grandfather being the famous scientist Rezo. But, as we all know, Rezo eventually became mad, and on of his experiments exploded, taking his life. He wasn't the only one caught in the explosion. Greywords was as well. He managed to survive, but because of the fumes and who-knows-what-else, his body had been severely mutated into a blue-skinned, pointy eared, golem with wire hair."

"Golem?"

"A rock monster of old legends," Lina answered to her husband's question. She turned back to Xellos. "You mean he wasn't just blue, but his skin was now made of rock?"

"Exactly. At the time of the accident, the Chimera had just been opened. Strange, but the name of the club was apt. Oh, well. He continued with his club, but he never made an appearance in it. No one ever saw him. And it is said that most of the money he makes goes to research to find a cure for himself."

"But that doesn't explain the co-ownership or the fact that this club has become so popular that all other clubs, including the famous clubs Xoana and Studio 51 are struggling to survive," Lina commented as the moved forward in the line.

"I'm getting to that part, Lina," Xellos said. "Do you know the Saillune family? They're an old wealth family that is said to still have blue blood running in their veins and that they are always present at charities and peace conferences?"

"Of course, I do! I've even met Philioniel Saillune. A very strange man, doesn't look at all like someone who should be in his position. And I've met his daughter Gracia Ul Nahga Saillune. In fact, she's one of my sisters-in-law. But what does the Saillune family have anything to do with this topic?"

"Plenty actually. Philioniel has two daughters. The elder, which is the one you know, and the younger one who is often with her father in the charities and peace conferences. But they had an argument a couple years ago that led the daughter, Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune, to leave home. She happened to get a job as a waitress at Club Chimera."

"What?!"

Xellos nodded. "The little princess actually did quite well for herself, rumors say, except that she fell in love with the owner… Zelgadis Greywords."

"I can see where this is headed," Lina commented.

Gourry blinked. "But didn't you say he was mudded or something? How could a girl like that fall for a guy who was made of rock?"

"That's mutated, Gourry."

Xellos shrugged. "Mysteries of love, I suppose. Just like two children of opposing races with a heavy grudge between them could fall in love. It occasionally happens."

Lina lifted an eyebrow at Xellos as she wondered whom he was talking about. She shook her head and they finally reached the front. They told the door hostess and guard their names and they sent the message. They were seated in one of the best tables almost immediately and they sat in silence as they watched the people 'dancing' on the floor by the stage. Amelia was quickly informed of their special guests.

Lina turned to Xellos with a smile. "A club that suits all classes. I like that. So, Xellos, why don't you continue the story. Ms. Saillune ended up falling in love with the mutated Greywords, I think is where you left off."

A waiter came quietly and served a 1777 bottle of Chardonnay to the three. This impressed only Lina. Xellos looked as if he had expected it and Gourry didn't even notice at all.

Xellos took a sip of his wine and continued. "Of course, the owner of the Chimera didn't respond to the girl's affections. He shunned her, even fired her several times I heard, but she kept on coming back. Some thought she was obsessed with him, but she didn't seem like the kind of girl that would become obsessed like that. She tried to convince him of his worth, the rumors said, because of his appearance, he through no one could love him. His self-value was nil. It looked hopeless for the determined young woman. But she finally broke down his barrier. Rumor says, she sneaked into his bedroom one night and the fight that erupted between the two closed the club for an entire night during the busiest season. No one really knows what went on in that room that night, but it was clear that once it was over she had broken down the wall of his heart." He took another sip of his wine and continued. "Since then, they've been co-owners. He helped her reconcile with her father and since then a steady flow of Saillune money has funded this club and the research of Greywords to find a cure for himself. Ms. Saillune is the manager here and another reason the club became popular was because she convinced Greywords to make an appearance. Once every night, he does one song on his guitar that is dedicated for her. The crowd loves it."

Lina nodded. "No wonder this club is so popular. With such a touching love story behind it, and with such great service run by a woman who knows high class as well as the normal crowd, it is easy to see why this club has buried it's competitors."

"Well, I don't get it at all."

Lina flopped down on the table with a shake of her head. She then smiled at her husband. "Ten don't worry about it, Gourry."

He blinked. "But, Lina, what I meant is that isn't Club Xoana like that, too? Isn't it about two lovers that formed the club?"

Lina nodded. "Yes, but they mainly appeal to the prestigious. This club appeals to all status levels."

"I'm glad to know that you enjoy our club, Ms. Inverse."

Lina turned to see a petite young woman, perhaps two years younger than herself, standing before her. Her dark hair shone in the lighting of the room and her deep blue violet eyes smiled cheerfully. The dress she wore was simple, yet elegant and sexy. Lina guessed immediately who the young woman was.

"You must be Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune."

Amelia smiled. "Yes, I am, and I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, Ms. Inverse. Your 'Sorcery' program ahs done wonders in helping us organized the Chimera's files. I presume this is your husband Gourry Gabriev and your silent partner Xellos Metallium?"

Lina blinked in surprise. "How do you know about Xellos?"

Amelia smiled. "I don't know him personally, but I've heard Zelgadis speak of him. I believe they've had a couple of run-ins together."

"Really?" Lina said, lifting an eyebrow in Xellos' direction. He only smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. Gourry blinked blankly as he gazed at the group.

"So Xellos knows this Zelgadis guy?"

Amelia just smiled at the group. "IS there anything I can do for all of you?"

Lina shook her head. "Nothing much really. We're here to meet with someone but we're not sure when he will arrive."

Amelia nodded. "When someone comes in asking for you, I'll be sure to bring him to the table."

"Thank you."

Amelia gave a light nod and left. Lina turned to Xellos who had a thoughtful expression on his face. She lifted an eyebrow, but before she could ask what he was thinking, the music died down and the people on the dance floor stopped and turned to the stage.
