So Close to Heaven
Chapter 7
Relena's eyes closed wearily before turning to face that all to familiar voice. "I was going into the garden I can't sleep too restless I guess." Taking a step back into the room she turned squinting to try and make out where he was in the shadows.
"It's not safe for you to be out in the dark alone but I suppose I'm the last person you'll take advice from now." Relena moved forward again her eyes searching the room.
"I'll be fine," she murmured noncommittally. "I'm sure Wufei is watching out for me."
"Hmm that use to be Heero's calling." She winced looking down she wished she had taken her hair out at least she would have had something to hide behind.
"Don't worry angel no eleventh hour pleadings, no more excuses." At his tone she stepped forward he sounded so defeated it frightened her for some reason. "Duo.."
"I don't suppose you would skip the commune with nature to stay and talk to me." She sighed it sounded loud within the confines of the room in spite of the crackle and hiss of the fire. "No hmm? Such a long face no need I understand."
"Duo enough already where are you?"
"I'm here in the dark where I belong." While he talked she moved closer using his voice as a guide.
"That's not true." A hard laugh cut through the silence by this time she stepped out in front of him as he sat on the floor against the couch. In the shifting firelight he looked otherworldly and the urge to reach out and touch him to make sure he was real was overwhelming.
"Duo don't ..."
He had discarded his jacket and tie along with several of the button of his shirt he looked comfortably rumpled. But not drunk she decided as she studied him intently. He stared dreamily into the fire. "You know my earliest memories were of being cold and hungry."
"Duo," she whispered mournfully.
A smile ghosted across his face. "O it was ok at least I wasn't alone I had a friend we sort of took care of one another for a little while anyway."
Relena knelt by his side. "What happened?" He took her hand studying it as his thumb softly rubbed across the top.
"So that's what it takes to get you to stop being pissed at me a sob story." He smiled ruefully.
Her brow furrowed. "Don't."
He sighed. "He got sick there wasn't enough medicine so he died." Closing his eyes Duo placed her hand against his cheek while they sat there in silence. When he continued his tone was barely audible almost as if he was talking to himself. "You know your hands are soft and smooth just like hers."
Her brow furrowed worriedly she didn't want to break the mood he rarely touched on his past and she had missed their heart to hearts through all this. "Who?" She urged softly.
"Sister Helene. Occasionally we'd stop in the church get some food when things got too scarce on the streets or crash for the night so we didn't have to worry about getting our throat cut for a jacket or whatever spare cash we had managed to steal." His eyes lifted to meet hers. "Does that shock you?"
Touched she shook her head. "Of course not you were a child just trying to survive." She said huskily. He smiled turning her hand he placed a kiss on the center of her palm.
"When Solo died I went more and more it wasn't so lonely somehow." A deep sadness filled his eyes as he shifted to stare intently into hers. "There's a gentleness in you that reminds me of her so much it scares me. Fragile things don't last long around me."
Relena swallowed the lump in her throat. "I'm not fragile." His smile carried such regret. "I know but no matter how careful I was you left me anyway.'
"Duo you never had me to loose." She said gently but firmly.
"Aahh but it wasn't for lack of my trying." He smiled running a finger along the edge of her gown where her flesh met material stopping just short of the v that shadowed her cleavage.
"Have I told you I love this dress it's almost as soft as your skin.. Almost." He grinned wickedly.
She frowned, "why do you do that let people in so far then make it all a joke?"
"Because you need me to."
"No. I.. How can you say that?"
"Yes think about it I've been honest with you from the beginning about how I feel."
"No.." She started to stand. Duo grabbed her hand stilling her.
"Yes my birthday wasn't the only time I tried to gently coax the blinders off remember? But each time I got close to showing you I was serious you panicked because in your mind that meant giving up Heero. That meant choosing."
She shook her head her eyes widened with the dawning realization. "No that was the Christmas party too much champagne, the heat of the moment. You forgot the hospital Lena very telling I think."
"I didn't.." She shook her head. Why are you..."
He smiled sweetly, "aahh angel you didn't do anything I didn't let you do. You see you taught me something important even with all the difficulties. Being with you and Heero was as close to heaven as I could imagine."
"But .."
He placed a finger against her lip. "Whether you realize it or not you've been involved with us both since the beginning it always goes back to the three of us." Duo moved to his knees and cupped her face between his hands. "Do you think that Heero and I normally do that sort of thing in the office?"
She tried to turn her face but trapped between his hands she was forced to stare into his eyes. Her days of running and avoidance were over but still that instinct to avoid the pain remained. He watched the tear slide down her face and winced.
"What do you mean?"
"You're usually quicker than this Lena."
She frowned choosing her words carefully. "Your saying that I was suppose to catch you and Heero?"
Duo leaned his forehead against hers. "I have no proof it's just a feeling think about what happened that night against the Heero we've known for years." He shrugged. "He's just too thorough to allow someone to come up on him unawares especially while he's at work."
"He wanted to hurt me?" Her voice quavered.
He pulled back and with a slight tug he laid himself against the back of the couch once more this time with Relena clasped to his chest. "You know better than that maybe he sensed we were finally ready. All these years Relena he's pushed and tested you mostly subconsciously I think... to see at what point you'd draw the line but each time you rose to the challenge. When you walked this time he had a coronary."
Duo pushed the sweep of hair back covering her unadorned ear and rubbed it gently between his thumb and forefinger. "Would Heero give you such an obvious declaration?" He grinned, "well for him that is and then turn around and screw up so badly?"
"That was a huge chance I might not have ever forgiven you or him." She said huskily.
"I trusted you with my life so many years ago. How could I not trust you with my faith as well."
"Faith? Don't you mean love?"
"Naw, you've already had that for a long time now."
Relena tried for a smile but it quivered and died. "Well with such a leap of faith how can I do anything less."
He blinked. Then comprehension dawned and a huge smile transformed his face. "That's..."
Relena stilled his words by placing a small kiss on the corner of his mouth, slowly she raised her hand, reaching for a strand of hair that had escaped his braid. He froze fascinated watching the absorbed concentration on her face as she rubbed the silky strands of his hair between her fingers.
She hadn't touched anything but his hair but it was the most arousing thing he had ever seen it was ridiculous he was hard as a rock. His breath stuttered and quit as the rest of his body went into over drive from the soft smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. It held him spellbound.
His hair was so soft it slid thru her fingers like silk truth be known it had always fascinated her but that would have to wait for another time. She sighed releasing it she tucked it behind his ear.
Damn his heart was pounding so loud it was a wonder she couldn't hear it. God that dreamy look went straight to his groin. He shifted trying to ease the strain these tight ass pants put on his erection. He should have known when Quatre told the tailor he was looking for something to impress a girl it would be painful in one way or another. As slight as his movement was it was enough for her to start regaining her composure.
She cupped his cheek. "It's late I should try and get some rest before we go home." She pulled away but then hesitantly brushed his lips with hers. "Goodnight.."
And then she was halfway across the room before he could bring enough blood back from his nether regions to make his remaining brain cells work. Leaving behind a trace of wildflowers lingering in the air and the delicate swish of velvet once again she had somehow eluded his reach.
Relena had just pulled the door open when two tan arms slid past her to push the door closed again. "Duo?" She went to turn but he leaned in against her caging her between the wood and his body.
"Don't go."
"I have to." She said trying not to think too much about how erotic it was just the two of them exchanging secrets in the night or how the heat from his body seemed to be luring her deeper into a moment she was as nervous about as she was excited.
"Please .I.. I'm afraid you wont come back." He dropped his forehead onto her shoulder as if it pained him to admit it out loud.
"Duo I wouldn't lie to you."
Duo rolled his head back and forth noticing the subtle scent of flowers filling his nose. He shifted to rubbed his cheek against the smooth silky skin inhaling deeply he instinctively sought the source. Duo closed his eyes swallowing against the sudden dryness in his mouth as his body helplessly responded to hers.
"I know but this seems to be the pattern lately two steps forward three steps back. I'm afraid one of these times you wont be back."
He dropped a kiss between slender fold of her neck and shoulder and felt her shiver. "You smell so good Lena. I'd catch myself making excuses to get close enough to smell your hair, your skin. It didn't matter that I'd be stuck with a hard on and no relief in sight it was a small price to pay for those stolen moments. Does it please you to know that when you enter a room I want you so much I feel like I'm on a rack." His husky whisper against her ear sent another shiver through her body as she felt the tip of his tongue trace the delicate ridge of her ear.
She arched back against his body wordlessly consenting. He made a pleased little hum then gently enclosed her earlobe sucking drawing in the sensitive bit of flesh. "I think you like that just a little, me going home and jacking off with your name on my lips."
He set his teeth against her and firmly tested the skin before apologetically laving the spot with his tongue. She moaned her mind tried desperately to think coherently enough to send the message to her hands to hold on as she divided her attention between the feeling and standing upright. Finally need won her legs trembled so much she doubted she could stand a moment longer her hands clenched in frustration against the wood before reaching back to grabbed his thighs and start a kneading motion.
"What's wrong angel doesn't he tell you this stuff?" He whispered hoarsely.
Relena stiffened blindly turning in his arms. "Easy." His hands went to her waist drawing her snugly against him the bulge in his pants was evident to her even through the yards of material between them.
"Duo this isn't.."
"Shssh. I know.. Let me show you in my own way."
He lowered his head his lips moving over and against hers as if he was making love to them as well. Her hands clenched in the sides of his shirt while he rocked his erection suggestively against her stomach. Reality trickled in for a moment when she felt him start gradually bunching her gown up to reach the skin below.
Relena turned her face breaking the claim his lips had on hers. "Duo.."
"Hmm?" His lips didn't hesitate as they followed plying the side if her face, the curve if her jaw, the sweep of her throat.
"Duo."
His hand had found its goal flesh. Silky soft and oo so bare skin. "Christ." He murmured against her throat. "Where is all that junk you women wear underneath here not that I'm complaining mind you but you'll be the death of me."
"Then stop someone might see."
He shuddered feeling the heat of her whispered words breathed against his lips he was almost past that point now his shirt was soaking wet and clung to his back as if he had been in the desert. God this was so good he wanted nothing more than to take her where they stood. But he promised. blindly he nuzzled against her face.
"I know we can't I'll stop. Just a little longer." He pleaded. His hand cupped the bend of her leg and lifted while the other cupped her bare backside and urged her tight against his aching flesh. "Damn no underpants either your naked?"
"You wish," her lips quirked involuntarily.
"Ahh." Long slender fingers continued their manipulations until they found the strap like material down the center of her cleft and toyed with it teasingly. She shifted restlessly
"Duo what are you doing?"
He blinked and something between and groan and a laugh escaped. "If you need to ask I need to work on my technique." His eyes narrowed taking in her hungry eyes and flushed face.
"Put your arms around my neck." He ordered hoarsely. Almost hypnotically she lifted her arms clasping them behind his head. In one fluid motion, he lifted her up pressing her against the wood. "Kiss me."
Relena blinked hazily. Deliberately taunting him she licked her lips then slowly leaned in and licked his. Duo growled hunger was a harsh task master he couldn't wait any longer he had already waited years to long as far as he was concerned. Tired of her teasing he tried to take control only to crash and burn. She nipped his lip rebuking him.
"You said kiss me and that's what I'm going to do."
Her hands left his neck to slide into his hair her legs clenched around his waist as she pulled him closer then covered his mouth with hers. Delicate and light as a feather they teased and coaxed tantalizing in their promise yet just beyond reach of delivery her breasts brushing sensuously against his chest was wantonly seductive as her tongue tantalized his already overheated system with images of what it would feel like to have it elsewhere on his body. The seducee had suddenly become the seducer. O god gotta stop gotta stop now.. its too much..
His head fell back breaking the kiss, nostrils flared as he inhaled the sweet musky smell of arousal it should have been enough. But it wasn't he wanted more surely he could hang on just a little longer.
"Are you quitting now?" He shifted until he held her bottom with one hand while his other cupped her throat.
"I .. I not yet." He gritted.
Eyelids fluttered closed as she arched deeper into his hand. He moaned when her hands lifted to cover his thinking she meant to stop him instead she gently clasped his and guided him across her shoulders. Tilting her head she paused long enough to lay her cheek against the top of his hand before urging him on across the top of her chest. Arching her back she thrust her breasts toward him pleadingly. He hesitated a second then with his finger slowly traced the edge of the material down into the shadowy cleft. He dipped the finger inside brushing against the edge of lace. Withdrawing his finger back to the bodice of the dress he looked up watching her face as he pulled the material and the bra below her breast before sliding across to do the same to the other.
Exhaling he blew his bangs upward. "Man Lena you're a walking wet dream." He grinned. 'Do you like me looking at your breasts?" His finger brushed against the hardened tips. "I know I'm certainly enjoying it," he muttered.
"Are you?" Her hands lifted cupping the sides she pushed them in and up toward him. "Are you sure?" Easing her clasp she splayed her fingers slowly sliding along the sides to the front and lightly stroked. He swallowed fascinated with the way her nipples played peek a boo through her fingers.
"Positive," he croaked.
His hand lifted hovering above her breast he dragged his eyes from it to her. She smiled lifting her eyebrow quizzically.. good enough he cupped it, then lifted it molding it softly while hungrily watching her face. She bit her lip arching into his touch her head tilted back against the door as if too over come to remain upright. Relena tightened her hold on his sides as she pressed her crotch against his stomach and writhed against him.
"God angel you're killing me but what a way to go. Just one taste then I'll stop you'll go to your bed and I'll go mine."
He leaned forward rubbing his mouth back and forth against her rosy nipple slowly circling it. His hand trailed downward unerringly drawn to her silky warmth. His finger traced the narrow strip covering moist swollen lips. He laughed. "You do want me," he murmured wonderingly.
Relena forced her eyes open and blinked hazily thrusting her hands in his hair she pulled his face close and kissed him sucking hungrily on his bottom lip and tongue she devoured his mouth aggressively until he slid his finger beneath her strap into her soaked fold.
She stiffened, "O god Duo what are you doing?"
"Again with the obvious." He gently worked her. "I can't believe how tight you are next time Lena." He rubbed his face and cheek against her breast. "It'll be a bed I promise and it won't be my finger you squeeze until then." He swallowed audibly. "This time is just for you."
He inserted a second finger and gradual increased his pace when his mouth covered her breast and suckled she whimpered and helplessly grabbed his shoulders for purchase. With each deep tug her muscles clenched reflexively around his fingers pulling him back in as her hips rolled for added sensations. It was starting and so quickly too sucking in a shaky breath she felt Duo lift his head and the sensation of his eyes caressing her face even behind closed lids was as strong as a physical touch. The delicate quivers built and she was torn between holding her breath so she could focus on keeping it aimed at that one spot that specific pace or the sensuous eroticism of watching Duo watch her while she came. His finger flicked her bud keeping pace with the thrusts.
"That's it sing for me Relena."
He scraped his nail against her button once more when she arched biting her lip to muffle a cry her body convulsed lovingly around his fingers. His gaze gently traveled over her face smugly pleased at the sated look in her eyes in spite of his agony. Her breathing puffed against his bangs as he watched her slowly lean her head against the door and go boneless. He lifted a trembling hand and caressed her cheek. Carefully he adjusted her bra then kissing the swell of her heaving breasts a reluctant goodbye he lifted her bodice back in place. Her arms draped around his neck lazily toying with his hair as he moved his hands to her waist and lowered her along his aching flesh to stand on her toes. He flinched when she brushed against his swollen crotch easing her slightly away he brushed a kiss across her forehead.
"There not a hair out of place and I remained on my best behavior. Shall I escort you to your room malady?" His voice sounded slightly amused.
With a shivery sigh her eyes fluttered open and met his own. "Your feeling quite smug with yourself right now aren't you?"
One corner of the firm mouth twitched up. "The only thing better would have been you, me, a bed and room service." He dropped a chaste peck on her nose and stepped back. "Come on angel the sooner you're in bed the quicker we can leave." He stopped abruptly. "You haven't changed your mind have you?"
She smiled eyeing him curiously. "Did I ever have a chance?"
"Huh?" He eyed her warily preparing to carefully word his answer. She shook her head and stepped into hug she didn't say any more so bit by bit he relaxed into her his head bending to nuzzle the clean scent of her hair. Relena shifted closer still enjoying the steady thrum of his heart until he hissed. She pulled back puzzled.
Duo gave her a strained smile. "I need a shower, preferably cold. Masturbation and fantasies aren't going to be good enough any more. After tonight only the real thing will do." Her eyes drifted down until she came to his groin. She smiled enigmatically and tucked herself against his side softly stroking his chest.
"That's right you promised to be good didn't you?"
He grabbed her hand stilling it. "Lets not push our luck." Duo yelped when she grabbed him pushing him against the door with a glint in her eye.
"But I made no such promise.."

"Duo this isn't.."
"Shssh. I know.. Let me show you in my own way."
He lowered his head his lips moving over and against hers as if he was making love to them as well. Her hands clenched in the sides of his shirt while he rocked his erection suggestively against her stomach.

His hand had found its goal flesh. Silky soft and oo so bare skin. "Christ." He murmured against her throat. "Where is all that junk you women wear underneath here not that I'm complaining mind you but you'll be the death of me."
"Then stop someone might see."
He shuddered feeling the heat of her whispered words breathed against his lips he was almost past that point now his shirt was soaking wet and clung to his back as if he had been in the desert. God this was so good he wanted nothing more than to take her where they stood. But he promised. blindly he nuzzled against her face.
"I know we can't I'll stop. Just a little longer." He pleaded. His hand cupped the bend of her leg and lifted while the other cupped her bare backside and urged her tight against his aching flesh. "Damn no underpants either your naked?"
"You wish," her lips quirked involuntarily.
"Ahh." Long slender fingers continued their manipulations until they found the strap like material down the center of her cleft and toyed with it teasingly. She shifted restlessly
"Duo what are you doing?"
He blinked and something between and groan and a laugh escaped. "If you need to ask I need to work on my technique." His eyes narrowed taking in her hungry eyes and flushed face.
"Put your arms around my neck." He ordered hoarsely. Almost hypnotically she lifted her arms clasping them behind his head. In one fluid motion, he lifted her up pressing her against the wood. "Kiss me."
Relena blinked hazily. Deliberately taunting him she licked her lips then slowly leaned in and licked his. Duo growled hunger was a harsh task master he couldn't wait any longer he had already waited years to long as far as he was concerned. Tired of her teasing he tried to take control only to crash and burn. She nipped his lip rebuking him.
"You said kiss me and that's what I'm going to do."
Her hands left his neck to slide into his hair her legs clenched around his waist as she pulled him closer then covered his mouth with hers. Delicate and light as a feather they teased and coaxed tantalizing in their promise yet just beyond reach of delivery her breasts brushing sensuously against his chest was wantonly seductive as her tongue tantalized his already overheated system with images of what it would feel like to have it elsewhere on his body. The seducee had suddenly become the seducer. O god gotta stop gotta stop now.. its too much..
His head fell back breaking the kiss, nostrils flared as he inhaled the sweet musky smell of arousal it should have been enough. But it wasn't he wanted more surely he could hang on just a little longer.
"Are you quitting now?" He shifted until he held her bottom with one hand while his other cupped her throat.
"I .. I not yet." He gritted.
Eyelids fluttered closed as she arched deeper into his hand. He moaned when her hands lifted to cover his thinking she meant to stop him instead she gently clasped his and guided him across her shoulders. Tilting her head she paused long enough to lay her cheek against the top of his hand before urging him on across the top of her chest. Arching her back she thrust her breasts toward him pleadingly. He hesitated a second then with his finger slowly traced the edge of the material down into the shadowy cleft. He dipped the finger inside brushing against the edge of lace. Withdrawing his finger back to the bodice of the dress he looked up watching her face as he pulled the material and the bra below her breast before sliding across to do the same to the other.
Exhaling he blew his bangs upward. "Man Lena you're a walking wet dream." He grinned. 'Do you like me looking at your breasts?" His finger brushed against the hardened tips. "I know I'm certainly enjoying it," he muttered.
"Are you?" Her hands lifted cupping the sides she pushed them in and up toward him. "Are you sure?" Easing her clasp she splayed her fingers slowly sliding along the sides to the front and lightly stroked. He swallowed fascinated with the way her nipples played peek a boo through her fingers.
"Positive," he croaked.
His hand lifted hovering above her breast he dragged his eyes from it to her. She smiled lifting her eyebrow quizzically.. good enough he cupped it, then lifted it molding it softly while hungrily watching her face. She bit her lip arching into his touch her head tilted back against the door as if too over come to remain upright. Relena tightened her hold on his sides as she pressed her crotch against his stomach and writhed against him.
"God angel you're killing me but what a way to go. Just one taste then I'll stop you'll go to your bed and I'll go mine."
He leaned forward rubbing his mouth back and forth against her rosy nipple slowly circling it. His hand trailed downward unerringly drawn to her silky warmth. His finger traced the narrow strip covering moist swollen lips. He laughed. "You do want me," he murmured wonderingly.
Relena forced her eyes open and blinked hazily thrusting her hands in his hair she pulled his face close and kissed him sucking hungrily on his bottom lip and tongue she devoured his mouth aggressively until he slid his finger beneath her strap into her soaked fold.
She stiffened, "O god Duo what are you doing?"
"Again with the obvious." He gently worked her. "I can't believe how tight you are next time Lena." He rubbed his face and cheek against her breast. "It'll be a bed I promise and it won't be my finger you squeeze until then." He swallowed audibly. "This time is just for you."
He inserted a second finger and gradual increased his pace when his mouth covered her breast and suckled she whimpered and helplessly grabbed his shoulders for purchase. With each deep tug her muscles clenched reflexively around his fingers pulling him back in as her hips rolled for added sensations. It was starting and so quickly too sucking in a shaky breath she felt Duo lift his head and the sensation of his eyes caressing her face even behind closed lids was as strong as a physical touch. The delicate quivers built and she was torn between holding her breath so she could focus on keeping it aimed at that one spot that specific pace or the sensuous eroticism of watching Duo watch her while she came. His finger flicked her bud keeping pace with the thrusts.
"That's it sing for me Relena."
He scraped his nail against her button once more when she arched biting her lip to muffle a cry her body convulsed lovingly around his fingers. His gaze gently traveled over her face smugly pleased at the sated look in her eyes in spite of his agony. Her breathing puffed against his bangs as he watched her slowly lean her head against the door and go boneless. He lifted a trembling hand and caressed her cheek. Carefully he adjusted her bra then kissing the swell of her heaving breasts a reluctant goodbye he lifted her bodice back in place. Her arms draped around his neck lazily toying with his hair as he moved his hands to her waist and lowered her along his aching flesh to stand on her toes. He flinched when she brushed against his swollen crotch easing her slightly away he brushed a kiss across her forehead.
"There not a hair out of place and I remained on my best behavior. Shall I escort you to your room malady?" His voice sounded slightly amused.
With a shivery sigh her eyes fluttered open and met his own. "Your feeling quite smug with yourself right now aren't you?"
One corner of the firm mouth twitched up. "The only thing better would have been you, me, a bed and room service." He dropped a chaste peck on her nose and stepped back. "Come on angel the sooner you're in bed the quicker we can leave." He stopped abruptly. "You haven't changed your mind have you?"
She smiled eyeing him curiously. "Did I ever have a chance?"
"Huh?" He eyed her warily preparing to carefully word his answer. She shook her head and stepped into hug she didn't say any more so bit by bit he relaxed into her his head bending to nuzzle the clean scent of her hair. Relena shifted closer still enjoying the steady thrum of his heart until he hissed. She pulled back puzzled.
Duo gave her a strained smile. "I need a shower, preferably cold. Masturbation and fantasies aren't going to be good enough any more. After tonight only the real thing will do." Her eyes drifted down until she came to his groin. She smiled enigmatically and tucked herself against his side softly stroking his chest.
"That's right you promised to be good didn't you?"
He grabbed her hand stilling it. "Lets not push our luck." Duo yelped when she grabbed him pushing him against the door with a glint in her eye.
"But I made no such promise.."
