So Close to Heaven
Chapter 8
Her hands slid up his arms and shoulders before returning to retrace a path across his chest. "Lena? Ah hell Lena." He faltered as her hands disappeared inside his shirt pushing it open nails brushed his paps. Hissing he forced his hands to grab hers. "Relena what are you doing?"
She looked at him through her lashes. "If I have to tell you I need to work on my technique." She mimicked. Relena leaned forward and licked his nipple moving closer still her hands splayed wider and the slight ping of buttons popping and flying echoed loudly in the room. Trailing kisses down his chest her nails lightly scored a path behind her lips. She felt him shiver. Relena purred a pleased little sound.
"Damn it Lena your going to make me come in my pants." Her lips closed around his nipple and scrapped her teeth on it before laving it her hand slid down and cupped him through the material of his pants. "If you keep that up I'm... ahhhh yessss."
Both hands joined. One traced the length of him within the pants while the other undid the belt. His head fell back against the door with a thud as the zipper slid down a few teeth then stopped. At first the relief was welcome but the hand sliding between his legs to cup his balls ended any hope of relief. He decided she was trying to make him crazy. Relena tightened her hand around the bulge that must have been his balls and squeezed.
He whimpered grabbing her arm with both hands. "What's wrong? She nuzzled against his nipple. rubbing her face and lips against the tightened pap. "Don't you want me to touch you?"
Relena blew against the rosey nub before bestowing a parting kiss on it. Slipping a hand free she slid the zipper down a few more notches her lips curved in a satisfied smile as he whimpered and tightened his hands on hers. She continued to fondle his balls. "O god yes touch wherever you want however you want don't stop."
"You sure?" The zipper slid down another inch and her eyes lifted at the moan of relief as engorged cotton strained pushing against the opening of his pants. "I wouldn't want to do anything you didn't want."
"Damn Angel quit torturing me." His hands left her and grabbed for purchase against the door as he arched wantonly toward her.
"I thought you wanted to be good." She pushed the zipper the rest of the way down and shoved the pants and briefs to land with a satisfying hush on the floor. Stepping back to survey her handiwork she had to admit he was gorgeous in a way so different from Heero his reactions were so refreshing. So vocal in his expression of appreciation that in itself was so sexy maybe just maybe he was right it didn't have to be either or. Relena smiled a sensuous smile as her eyes drifted down his taut body. He did indeed look like he was being tortured.
Time had been kind to Duo slender and reed thin in his youth maturity had only enhanced and improved on his body. Wide muscular shoulders and arms tapered into a washboard stomach to die for his proud erection surged an impressive length out from a dark thatch of curls that had Relena asking herself how she had been so oblivious to his beauty all these years.
"Relena.." His voice was an uncertain whisper.
Her eyes reluctantly lifted and met his she could see the hunger the yearning for something to complex to pin down. She cupped his cheek and smiled reassuringly; for a moment relief flickered in his eyes then they drifted closed as he leaned into her hand. Pulling away she slid her hand down his neck watching as he tilted his head back against the door curiously her eyes followed the path her hand made as it trailed across his chest. Duo sucked in a shaky breath as her hand continued lower gliding along the individual muscles that defined his stomach when her thumb brushed the tip of his penis and gently rubbed in the drop of moisture there he moaned.
"Do you like that Duo?" Her finger slid along the ridges and veins as it twitched helplessly in response. "Do you like my hands on you?" Relena slid her hand down to encircle his shaft and slowly stroked from its base to the tip. "Did you ever fantasize about me taking you in my mouth." He mewled rolling his head back forth against the door. "O god angel have mercy."
Relena glanced down at the flushed head quivering with each stroke. "But you didn't answer me would you like to feel my tongue licking you, my lips drawing you in my mouth as far as I can caressing you?"
"Damn," he muttered hoarsely.
Her hands slowly withdrew and he hung there clinging to the wall in supplication his body language screaming out to take him he was hers. He gritted his teeth waiting for her return his entire body straining forward silently begging for the sweet torture of her hands her mouth hell whatever she wanted to give him when she flicked her tongue into the slit of his penis every coherent thought stopped except one.
.
"Again," he rasped.
Relena looked up a thick fan of lashes drew attention to cheeks more prominent as his features tightened with desire. Nostrils flared reminding her of a predator who had just spotted his prey. It was raw earthy and incredibly sexy and the fact that it was for her... Because of her it was so deliciously erotic she could admit it now it made him all the more desirable. She felt a trembling hand stroke her cheek pulling her from her thoughts into the present and the wet heat of her own arousal trickling down the inside of her thighs had her once more giving him her undivided attention.
"Please." He breathed his voice thickly laden with sensuality. Her tongue peaked out and the tip dabbed anxiously at the moisture beading the top of her lip. Gently cupping the base of his penis she locked eyes with him and held it as her tongue lapped at the silky wetness covering the head. Releasing him from her mouth she rubbed the moist knob around the edges of her lips. Inhaling deeply she savored the musky smell of their combined arousal.
"Is this what you wanted Duo? Does it feel good?" She moved on to scrape her nails in the tight dark curls surrounding his cock. Clenching her nails into his pubic hair she heard him hiss thru his teeth.
"Fuck. Yes, yes quit teasing Relena please." Sighing Relena studied him wistfully she wished she had more time rubbing her finger across his weeping cock.
"I though you wanted me to talk." Softly murmured words breathed against his heated flesh making him whimper. "Shssh its alright," she crooned.
One hand guided him into her mouth and he groaned, Drawing him in deeper she suckled and caressed with her tongue until she felt the springy softness of his bush teasing her chin. Her eyes opened to slits, when she felt his fingertips slide along the sides of her cheeks and jaw, cradling her face savoring the shift and pull within her moist satiny recesses. Duo felt her hand cup his balls and he released her to once more hold himself up against the wood. A strangled moan escaped his lips when he felt her other hand glide around his hip and cheek and insert a moist finger into his entrance and carefully search for his sweet spot. He arched closer into her as he froze a willing captive to the magic she worked on his body. Surrounded and impaled it was too much Duo gasped.
"O Christ." He whimpered. "Don't stop."
Arching taut he clung to the door as the combination of her lips and tongue and the wicked manipulations of her hands sent him over the edge. Even as he came he was plotting the quickest and most effect way to get them all into a bed together. As his climax eased and his breathing slowly returned to normal his eyelids reluctantly opened in protest. He felt a final kiss delicately placed against his now flagging erection, digits slowly withdrew caressing in their passing as she stood.
Relena brushed a hand against his bangs pushing them out of his eyes. A faint smile teased the corners of her mouth. She slid her hands along the side of his face sinking them into his hair her lips brushed and passed and touched again as she savored his lips. She slowly pulled away hands falling to her sides as her expression suddenly became solemn. "Duo.."
He grabbed her arms tightly his eyes entreated as he searched her face intently. "Tell me your not sorry."
"I'm not sorry."
He gradually relaxed but didn't release his hold. "What then?" She looked down taking his braid she slid it thru her fingers as she took a calming breath.
"It's not you and yet it is." Her smile turned rueful. "Change is scary." His arm went around her waist pulling her off her feet and tight against his chest.
"You are not chickening out now," he seethed.
Relena sighed and relaxed into him molding her body into his. "I won't change my mind but then I haven't in all these years. Have I?"
He groaned dropping his head back against the door banging it several times. "I don't get it. You want it. I want it. You said you're not pissed any more. I love you Lena." He cupped her cheek. "Christ we go up in flames together and I haven't even gotten you in a bed yet. What am I missing?"
"About four years worth of silence."
"Ah... And you hate me for that don't you?" She caught the hurt look before he ducked slowly lowering her to her feet. Stepping back he silently bent and started getting dressed. She bit her lip.
"Duo.. I couldn't hate you even if I tried. And I wanted to ..I do love you.." His head snapped up and he met her gaze with watchful eyes. She went to swing away but he grabbed her arm stilling her.
"Don't walk away."
She winced at the hardness in his tone and shook her head how could she explain when she wasn't even sure she understood.
"Duo a part of me is still that girl that followed a strange boy all over creation because I craved answers. The questions are different but I still need those answers."
"And if you can't get those answers Lena what then?"
"I have to try."
Duo shook his head. "So where do we go from here?" She moved from his arms and opened the door. Relena looked back over her shoulder her eyebrow quirked.
"I'm going to bed, then home". Relena smiled tilting her head mischievously. "And then I'm going to take a vacation." She opened the door and stepped through. She stuck her head back around the door and looked at him still standing there. "You coming?"
He blinked dazedly then nodded. "Uh yeah.. Yes mam."
"Well then close our mouth and come on."
* * * * * * * *
The shuttle ride back had been a decidedly silent one everyone was watching everyone else with a decidedly unabashed curiosity. Well with a few exceptions Relena had studiously kept her gaze somewhere beyond the shuttle window and it was evident to all she preferred her own thoughts. Wufei had entered the shuttle after a thorough going over and had promptly stretched out and closed his eyes. Which left the security detail staring between he and Sally trying to figure out the strange circumstances that seemed to surround this entire visit. Duo had twitched and fidgeted since leaving Quatre's that morning.
The one consolation was at least those two hadn't seemed surprised. Other than the amused knowing look Trowa gave him he thought he managed an innocent enough mien to satisfy anyone's suspicions. He glanced at Relena and a soft smile unknowingly spread across his face. His eyes followed the sweep of hair casually pulled back into a bow then followed the silken curve of her throat and beyond. Leaning forward his smile grew wicked as his eyes followed the path her perfume had taken this morning. Duo straightened belatedly remembering they weren't alone and just how close he had leaned in while reliving a memory he would cherish until he died.
His eyes swung swiftly to Wufei and widened. He was awake and met his look with a shrewd gaze and knowing smirk. Damn he could be a smug ass probably taking all the credit for his current good fortune with Relena. He was about to stick his tongue out at him and really piss him off when with a sinking feeling he suddenly remembered Sally. Sally who so far knew squat Sally who could be perceptive without trying too damn perceptive for his liking.
His eyes cut to hers and his heart sunk. Sally sat there watching him and his antics and from the raised brow and curiously probing look had been doing so for some time. Duo mentally sighed nothing to do but brazen it out. He grinned and shrugged crossing his arms he stretched and decided to close his eyes and get some rest he had a feeling he was going to need it before to long. Besides if his eyes were closed then they wouldn't be staring at Lena like a lovesick idiot. Problem solved. For now anyway.
* * * * * * * *
Relena stood at the edge of the water all in white and gold the wispy material swirling and dancing in the breeze made her look ethereal in the moonlight. The profusion of white flowers covering the pathway from the beach to the water, seemed to linger around the area with an almost pervasive scent, filling the air ones hair their clothes adding an almost surreal quality to the setting.
Once she had returned home she had released Sally and Wufei with all the diplomacy she could muster then set about rearranging her schedule with a ruthlessness and efficiency only her closest companions would appreciate. Duo's presence had helped once they realized she wouldn't be completely unprotected the excuses and justifications became easier. Then it was only a matter of finding a setting secluded enough for the final showdown with her old life and the beginning of her new. Still it wasn't without some difficulty
Wufei lingered holding her gaze after Sally walked off. "You have decided."
She smiled nervously. "I've accepted that I have to try."
He nodded. "It will come with a price," he warned.
"I know but one of them wont be regret."
He smiled. "Then good hunting little dove."
"Thank you Wufei." Squeezing his hand in farewell she moved back into her office and set about revamping her world for the next seven days.
His smile lingered after she closed the door. "Good luck Relena."
Relena's head lifted abruptly as she returned to the present. Heero had come he was finally here. The sand clung to her feet and ankles as she turned heading back across the beach now that the moment she dreaded had arrived she was curiously anxious for it to happen. Duo had argued most persuasively about leaving a message of some sort but she was adamant she couldn't even say why she was being so perverse about it. If he wanted her badly enough he would follow.
Duo padded from the bathroom absently running the towel through his hair tossing it on the chair he tightened the one on his waist as he moved to the dresser for his comb. Grabbing his gun he swung around toward the corner of the room and aimed.
"Come out of there slow." For a moment the silence stretched and the room was a shifting mass of shadows relieved only by the thin swath of light from the bathroom and the billowing white curtains by garden door. Slowly it stood and merged into a definable form they stood there at an impasse guns drawn until Duo slumped his hand falling to his side.
"Damn it Heero you have got to stop doing that."
Heero moved silently forward his eyes glittered in the darkened room as he griped Duo's chin. "Where is Relena?" Duo stilled searching Heero's face intently he slowly lifted his hand and gently clasped the arm holding his face.
"Probably where she always is on the beach."
Heero held his gaze before looking pointedly at the bed. "Not always."
Duo sighed. "No, not always. Look I know your pissed but she wouldn't let me tell you where we were going." Duo slowly pulled his chin loose and slid his hand down to clasp Heero's. "She got rid of her security and we both want her protected there was no choice I knew you would follow." He shrugged. "I think this time she was testing you."
Heerro's eyes narrowed and swept the room the moon was full tonight he cringed mentally at the thought of her out in the open alone unprotected. He could see the garden through the billowing curtain. The wind had picked up filling the room with the scent of flowers and sea and.. Relena.
She stood just beyond the filmy curtain her gaze pinned on his as her hand lifted pushing it aside. For a moment she caught a glimpse of relief in his eyes before they became shuttered and hard once more. Relena moved into the room by instinct alone her long silken dress trailing behind her like princesses of old until she slid between them. She leaned back enough until she felt the cool moisture dotting Duo's chest. Her hand lifted to slide down Heero's arm until she reached the gun. Without taking her eyes from his her other hand gently pried his fingers away.
"I'm sorry I scared you. Don't be angry I didn't really give Duo a choice." She gingerly took the gun and passed it to Duo. "You wont need that. Not with us." Heero swallowed and a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face.
"Relena. I..." He faltered then snaked an arm around her waist and jerked her forward. He met Duo's sympathetic gaze over her head before he closed his eyes burying his face in the fall of her hair maybe there was a god out there and he hadn't forsaken him completely. Maybe it would be alright. Her hand continued to stroke soothingly down his back.
"We will be fine. We'll find a way. Somehow." She promised.
Relena felt Duo step forward and enclose them both within his arms and she closed her eyes savoring the feeling it wasn't as hard as she thought it would be. She felt loved, cherished wrapped snuggly in silken steel and after some thought she decided it wasn't a feeling she wanted to give up anytime soon. Relena shifted enough so she could lean back and cup his cheek.
"I missed you Heero."
"Relena."
"Shssh." Her hands drifted to the edge of his shirt and lifted it over his head. Glancing at Duo she tugged on his towel and watched it land with a small smile before she met Heero's look once more. She then released the clasp on her caftan and let it slide to the floor in a silken splash of color. Heero's eyes drifted down her body as she took both their hands and stepped back tugging them toward the bed.
"You'll have to help me this will be new territory for me." Like a sleepwalker Heero let her lead him toward the bed and remove his pants. "How should we start?" She pushed him down on the bed and followed him straddling his waist. Relena leaned forward and lightly brushed his lips "Or.." She sat up again and drew Duo's hands forward placing them on her thighs and rubbed them up and down.
"Should we do whatever feels good?" She tilted her head allowing Duo better access as he nuzzled past her hair and trailed kisses along the curve of her neck. Her eyes narrowed into to heavy-lidded slits as she gazed down at him and sighed when Duo's hands lifted and gently cupped her breasts.
"Is this what you wanted Heero?"
As if freed he sat up and cupped her face. As light as a butterfly he took her mouth gently at first then with increasing intensity it seemed as if he was trying to absorb her into his skin. Heero pulled away enough to sink his hand in Duo's hair and pull him forward covering his mouth hungrily with his. They stroked her slowly building her desire expertly each having an intimate knowledge of her that they built on and honed and just when she thought she couldn't take anymore they teased her by touching each other.
Now that there was no need for secrecy they seemed to revel in her watching them touch and taste one another and where they led she followed as they shifted and reshifted enjoying the freedom in the ever changing positions. Relena splayed her hands across Heero's chest and then slowly impaled herself to the hilt on his cock. Once she was in as far as she could go a shiver seem to ripple through his body.
Looking down she took in the cloudy confusion in his eyes the love the lust the vulnerability and the sight made her clench around him. Heero groaned his hands lifting to her waist and kneaded arching back she felt Duo shift her hair to the side and trail kisses down her back kissing her spine she felt his hands slide up to her shoulders and urge her forward. Then something cool and slick brushed teasingly against the entrance of her rear lubricating it thoroughly gradually working deeper into her.
Relena moaned the deep swiveling and clenching against Heero faltered when Duo started working her anal cavity. Kissing her shoulder Duo slowly withdrew his finger murmuring a protest she reached back.
"Easy Angel I don't want to hurt you." Duo pushed himself in by increments once he was all the way in he placed his hand over Heero's on her waist and steadied himself. He dropped his head back and swallowed.
"Christ I've died and gone to heaven."
"Beautiful."
At Heero's husky whisper Duo and Relena's eyes opened and met his. Her mouth had a moment to curve into a smile and then they started moving in earnest. They rocked her between them first Duo then Heero long and deep slow and steady each pulling out as far as they could without leaving her silken warmth only to thrust home when they couldn't stand the separation any longer.
Relena noticed as soon as she got to the edge they would pull back changing the rhythm once more so the dance would continue longer. Nearly mindless she arched back wrapping her arms around Duo's neck and rolled her head wantonly against his shoulder when Heero sat up and took first one breast then the other in his mouth back and forth he went between the two licking sucking biting.
Duo pressed a kiss against the curve of her ear as he rammed back into her their pace quickening by some unspoken signal and Relena was torn unsure whether to push Heero deeper or to thrust back into Duo as they all strained to reach satisfaction. She felt Duo's hand tighten for a fraction of a second on her waist then slide down between she and Heero to caress her nub.
That's all it took. The world seemed to explode in a flash of pure white behind her eyes. Relena heard a hoarse shout and felt Duo's helplessly shuddering and his boneless collapse as his head came to rest on her shoulder while Heero sent two more deep thrusts up and against her still quivering walls before he threw his arms around them both and moaned his completion.
* * * * * * * *
Relena slowly came awake her sleep-clouded eyes taking in the shadows filling the room. Turning her head toward the door she idly noted dawn wasn't far away and suddenly the urge to greet it out weighed the lure of warm tangled covers and arms and legs. Slipping from the bed she grabbed the sheet trailing off the bed and wrapped it around her as she moved through the room and down toward the beach.
Heero's came awake in a rush, the moment she eased from the bed.Giving her a head start he then began untangling himself from Duo's hair stood and dressed. Grabbing his gun from the dresser he slipped it into the small of his back and followed her down to the beach.
She couldn't hear him unless he wanted her to but she knew he was there watching her protecting her yes even loving her in his own way.
"You know when you left it felt like a part of me had been ripped away. But I survived it because I knew you had endured things I couldn't begin to comprehend and as much as I wanted to gift you with peace you had to do that yourself." She turned toward him and he winced at the trail of tears silently trickling down her face.
"But some days I thought I would go mad desperately praying this would be the day you called or emailed or came in person. I had a suicidal brother after all I didn't want to have to worry about you as well. Because as callous as it sounds I would survive his passing but I wasn't so sure about yours." She turned back toward the ocean the sky was a purple color now and she kept her eye fixed on the horizon so she wouldn't miss what promised to be a beautiful sunrise.
"Then Duo came and suddenly getting up to face the day got a little easier an yet as often as I asked he always kept his silence about you. I never knew whether you were dead or alive happy or sad. Safe.." She trailed off.
He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her pulling her back against his chest. "You have an odd effect on the decisions I make. Doing what I should do regardless the cost. I.." He fumbled awkwardly for words.
"There is a darkness in me that..." He frowned and tried again.
"I find my thoughts filled with you instead of my objective. I stayed away hoping you would forget me.. Praying I could forget..." He whispered. "Duo... We kept each other sane and I found through him I could still be apart of your life without dragging you down with me. But I miscalculated the impact you had on me it didn't lessen it grew." He buried his face in the fragrant silk of her hair.
"You say you love me? I envy the ease in which you do that. Is what I feel for you and Duo love? I don't know... Probably yes but it's such a simple word for what I feel. I need you like air to breath. If you're late or the news reports some incident and I'm not with you I feel a cold that goes bone deep until I see you're alright. Your smile is the headiest rush I've ever felt and if I had fifty years with you both it still wouldn't be enough. I would do anything to keep you safe and anything not to loose you. I made a mistake. Now you know I'm not perfect. But I can't even tell you I wouldn't do it again if I thought it would prevent you from leaving me." His arms tightened painfully around her. "I can't loose you now. I just can't." Her head fell back against his chest.
"Look Heero." Her voice was hushed and full of awe. "It's beautiful."
He eyes left the sun to look at the wash of light that softly bathed her skin and the wonder on her face. "Yes Beautiful.." Relena blushed slightly as she caught his meaning.
She held his gaze intently. "A New day, new beginnings for the three of us. But together this time?" Heero studied her solemnly then smiled. She was so caught up at the sweetness of his smile she almost missed his acceptance. "Together always..."

Her hands slid up his arms and shoulders before returning to retrace a path across his chest. "Lena? Ah hell Lena." He faltered as her hands disappeared inside his shirt pushing it open nails brushed his paps. Hissing he forced his hands to grab hers. "Relena what are you doing?"

"Damn Angel quit torturing me." His hands left her and grabbed for purchase against the door as he arched wantonly toward her.
"I thought you wanted to be good." She pushed the zipper the rest of the way down and shoved the pants and briefs to land with a satisfying hush on the floor.

As his climax eased and his breathing slowly returned to normal his eyelids reluctantly opened in protest. He felt a final kiss delicately placed against his now flagging erection, digits slowly withdrew caressing in their passing as she stood.
Relena brushed a hand against his bangs pushing them out of his eyes. A faint smile teased the corners of her mouth. She slid her hands along the side of his face sinking them into his hair her lips brushed and passed and touched again as she savored his lips. She slowly pulled away hands falling to her sides as her expression suddenly became solemn. "Duo.."
He grabbed her arms tightly his eyes entreated as he searched her face intently. "Tell me your not sorry."
"I'm not sorry."
He gradually relaxed but didn't release his hold. "What then?" She looked down taking his braid she slid it thru her fingers as she took a calming breath.
"It's not you and yet it is." Her smile turned rueful. "Change is scary." His arm went around her waist pulling her off her feet and tight against his chest.
"You are not chickening out now," he seethed.
Relena sighed and relaxed into him molding her body into his. "I won't change my mind but then I haven't in all these years. Have I?"
He groaned dropping his head back against the door banging it several times. "I don't get it. You want it. I want it. You said you're not pissed any more. I love you Lena." He cupped her cheek. "Christ we go up in flames together and I haven't even gotten you in a bed yet. What am I missing?"
"About four years worth of silence."
"Ah... And you hate me for that don't you?" She caught the hurt look before he ducked slowly lowering her to her feet. Stepping back he silently bent and started getting dressed. She bit her lip.
"Duo.. I couldn't hate you even if I tried. And I wanted to ..I do love you.." His head snapped up and he met her gaze with watchful eyes. She went to swing away but he grabbed her arm stilling her.
"Don't walk away."
She winced at the hardness in his tone and shook her head how could she explain when she wasn't even sure she understood.
"Duo a part of me is still that girl that followed a strange boy all over creation because I craved answers. The questions are different but I still need those answers."
"And if you can't get those answers Lena what then?"
"I have to try."
Duo shook his head. "So where do we go from here?" She moved from his arms and opened the door. Relena looked back over her shoulder her eyebrow quirked.
"I'm going to bed, then home". Relena smiled tilting her head mischievously. "And then I'm going to take a vacation." She opened the door and stepped through. She stuck her head back around the door and looked at him still standing there. "You coming?"
He blinked dazedly then nodded. "Uh yeah.. Yes mam."
"Well then close our mouth and come on."

The shuttle ride back had been a decidedly silent one everyone was watching everyone else with a decidedly unabashed curiosity. Well with a few exceptions Relena had studiously kept her gaze somewhere beyond the shuttle window and it was evident to all she preferred her own thoughts. Wufei had entered the shuttle after a thorough going over and had promptly stretched out and closed his eyes. Which left the security detail staring between he and Sally trying to figure out the strange circumstances that seemed to surround this entire visit. Duo had twitched and fidgeted since leaving Quatre's that morning.
The one consolation was at least those two hadn't seemed surprised. Other than the amused knowing look Trowa gave him he thought he managed an innocent enough mien to satisfy anyone's suspicions. He glanced at Relena and a soft smile unknowingly spread across his face. His eyes followed the sweep of hair casually pulled back into a bow then followed the silken curve of her throat and beyond. Leaning forward his smile grew wicked as his eyes followed the path her perfume had taken this morning. Duo straightened belatedly remembering they weren't alone and just how close he had leaned in while reliving a memory he would cherish until he died.
His eyes swung swiftly to Wufei and widened. He was awake and met his look with a shrewd gaze and knowing smirk. Damn he could be a smug ass probably taking all the credit for his current good fortune with Relena. He was about to stick his tongue out at him and really piss him off when with a sinking feeling he suddenly remembered Sally. Sally who so far knew squat Sally who could be perceptive without trying too damn perceptive for his liking.
His eyes cut to hers and his heart sunk. Sally sat there watching him and his antics and from the raised brow and curiously probing look had been doing so for some time. Duo mentally sighed nothing to do but brazen it out. He grinned and shrugged crossing his arms he stretched and decided to close his eyes and get some rest he had a feeling he was going to need it before to long. Besides if his eyes were closed then they wouldn't be staring at Lena like a lovesick idiot. Problem solved. For now anyway.

Relena stood at the edge of the water all in white and gold the wispy material swirling and dancing in the breeze made her look ethereal in the moonlight. The profusion of white flowers covering the pathway from the beach to the water, seemed to linger around the area with an almost pervasive scent, filling the air ones hair their clothes adding an almost surreal quality to the setting.
Once she had returned home she had released Sally and Wufei with all the diplomacy she could muster then set about rearranging her schedule with a ruthlessness and efficiency only her closest companions would appreciate. Duo's presence had helped once they realized she wouldn't be completely unprotected the excuses and justifications became easier. Then it was only a matter of finding a setting secluded enough for the final showdown with her old life and the beginning of her new. Still it wasn't without some difficulty
Wufei lingered holding her gaze after Sally walked off. "You have decided."
She smiled nervously. "I've accepted that I have to try."
He nodded. "It will come with a price," he warned.
"I know but one of them wont be regret."
He smiled. "Then good hunting little dove."
"Thank you Wufei." Squeezing his hand in farewell she moved back into her office and set about revamping her world for the next seven days.
His smile lingered after she closed the door. "Good luck Relena."
Relena's head lifted abruptly as she returned to the present. Heero had come he was finally here. The sand clung to her feet and ankles as she turned heading back across the beach now that the moment she dreaded had arrived she was curiously anxious for it to happen. Duo had argued most persuasively about leaving a message of some sort but she was adamant she couldn't even say why she was being so perverse about it. If he wanted her badly enough he would follow.
Duo padded from the bathroom absently running the towel through his hair tossing it on the chair he tightened the one on his waist as he moved to the dresser for his comb. Grabbing his gun he swung around toward the corner of the room and aimed.
"Come out of there slow." For a moment the silence stretched and the room was a shifting mass of shadows relieved only by the thin swath of light from the bathroom and the billowing white curtains by garden door. Slowly it stood and merged into a definable form they stood there at an impasse guns drawn until Duo slumped his hand falling to his side.
"Damn it Heero you have got to stop doing that."
Heero moved silently forward his eyes glittered in the darkened room as he griped Duo's chin. "Where is Relena?" Duo stilled searching Heero's face intently he slowly lifted his hand and gently clasped the arm holding his face.
"Probably where she always is on the beach."
Heero held his gaze before looking pointedly at the bed. "Not always."
Duo sighed. "No, not always. Look I know your pissed but she wouldn't let me tell you where we were going." Duo slowly pulled his chin loose and slid his hand down to clasp Heero's. "She got rid of her security and we both want her protected there was no choice I knew you would follow." He shrugged. "I think this time she was testing you."
Heerro's eyes narrowed and swept the room the moon was full tonight he cringed mentally at the thought of her out in the open alone unprotected. He could see the garden through the billowing curtain. The wind had picked up filling the room with the scent of flowers and sea and.. Relena.
She stood just beyond the filmy curtain her gaze pinned on his as her hand lifted pushing it aside. For a moment she caught a glimpse of relief in his eyes before they became shuttered and hard once more. Relena moved into the room by instinct alone her long silken dress trailing behind her like princesses of old until she slid between them. She leaned back enough until she felt the cool moisture dotting Duo's chest. Her hand lifted to slide down Heero's arm until she reached the gun. Without taking her eyes from his her other hand gently pried his fingers away.
"I'm sorry I scared you. Don't be angry I didn't really give Duo a choice." She gingerly took the gun and passed it to Duo. "You wont need that. Not with us." Heero swallowed and a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face.
"Relena. I..." He faltered then snaked an arm around her waist and jerked her forward. He met Duo's sympathetic gaze over her head before he closed his eyes burying his face in the fall of her hair maybe there was a god out there and he hadn't forsaken him completely. Maybe it would be alright. Her hand continued to stroke soothingly down his back.
"We will be fine. We'll find a way. Somehow." She promised.
Relena felt Duo step forward and enclose them both within his arms and she closed her eyes savoring the feeling it wasn't as hard as she thought it would be. She felt loved, cherished wrapped snuggly in silken steel and after some thought she decided it wasn't a feeling she wanted to give up anytime soon. Relena shifted enough so she could lean back and cup his cheek.
"I missed you Heero."
"Relena."
"Shssh." Her hands drifted to the edge of his shirt and lifted it over his head. Glancing at Duo she tugged on his towel and watched it land with a small smile before she met Heero's look once more. She then released the clasp on her caftan and let it slide to the floor in a silken splash of color. Heero's eyes drifted down her body as she took both their hands and stepped back tugging them toward the bed.
"You'll have to help me this will be new territory for me." Like a sleepwalker Heero let her lead him toward the bed and remove his pants. "How should we start?" She pushed him down on the bed and followed him straddling his waist. Relena leaned forward and lightly brushed his lips "Or.." She sat up again and drew Duo's hands forward placing them on her thighs and rubbed them up and down.
"Should we do whatever feels good?" She tilted her head allowing Duo better access as he nuzzled past her hair and trailed kisses along the curve of her neck. Her eyes narrowed into to heavy-lidded slits as she gazed down at him and sighed when Duo's hands lifted and gently cupped her breasts.
"Is this what you wanted Heero?"
As if freed he sat up and cupped her face. As light as a butterfly he took her mouth gently at first then with increasing intensity it seemed as if he was trying to absorb her into his skin. Heero pulled away enough to sink his hand in Duo's hair and pull him forward covering his mouth hungrily with his. They stroked her slowly building her desire expertly each having an intimate knowledge of her that they built on and honed and just when she thought she couldn't take anymore they teased her by touching each other.
Now that there was no need for secrecy they seemed to revel in her watching them touch and taste one another and where they led she followed as they shifted and reshifted enjoying the freedom in the ever changing positions. Relena splayed her hands across Heero's chest and then slowly impaled herself to the hilt on his cock. Once she was in as far as she could go a shiver seem to ripple through his body.
Looking down she took in the cloudy confusion in his eyes the love the lust the vulnerability and the sight made her clench around him. Heero groaned his hands lifting to her waist and kneaded arching back she felt Duo shift her hair to the side and trail kisses down her back kissing her spine she felt his hands slide up to her shoulders and urge her forward. Then something cool and slick brushed teasingly against the entrance of her rear lubricating it thoroughly gradually working deeper into her.
Relena moaned the deep swiveling and clenching against Heero faltered when Duo started working her anal cavity. Kissing her shoulder Duo slowly withdrew his finger murmuring a protest she reached back.
"Easy Angel I don't want to hurt you." Duo pushed himself in by increments once he was all the way in he placed his hand over Heero's on her waist and steadied himself. He dropped his head back and swallowed.
"Christ I've died and gone to heaven."
"Beautiful."
At Heero's husky whisper Duo and Relena's eyes opened and met his. Her mouth had a moment to curve into a smile and then they started moving in earnest. They rocked her between them first Duo then Heero long and deep slow and steady each pulling out as far as they could without leaving her silken warmth only to thrust home when they couldn't stand the separation any longer.
Relena noticed as soon as she got to the edge they would pull back changing the rhythm once more so the dance would continue longer. Nearly mindless she arched back wrapping her arms around Duo's neck and rolled her head wantonly against his shoulder when Heero sat up and took first one breast then the other in his mouth back and forth he went between the two licking sucking biting.
Duo pressed a kiss against the curve of her ear as he rammed back into her their pace quickening by some unspoken signal and Relena was torn unsure whether to push Heero deeper or to thrust back into Duo as they all strained to reach satisfaction. She felt Duo's hand tighten for a fraction of a second on her waist then slide down between she and Heero to caress her nub.
That's all it took. The world seemed to explode in a flash of pure white behind her eyes. Relena heard a hoarse shout and felt Duo's helplessly shuddering and his boneless collapse as his head came to rest on her shoulder while Heero sent two more deep thrusts up and against her still quivering walls before he threw his arms around them both and moaned his completion.
* * * * * * * *
Relena slowly came awake her sleep-clouded eyes taking in the shadows filling the room. Turning her head toward the door she idly noted dawn wasn't far away and suddenly the urge to greet it out weighed the lure of warm tangled covers and arms and legs. Slipping from the bed she grabbed the sheet trailing off the bed and wrapped it around her as she moved through the room and down toward the beach.
Heero's came awake in a rush, the moment she eased from the bed.Giving her a head start he then began untangling himself from Duo's hair stood and dressed. Grabbing his gun from the dresser he slipped it into the small of his back and followed her down to the beach.
She couldn't hear him unless he wanted her to but she knew he was there watching her protecting her yes even loving her in his own way.
"You know when you left it felt like a part of me had been ripped away. But I survived it because I knew you had endured things I couldn't begin to comprehend and as much as I wanted to gift you with peace you had to do that yourself." She turned toward him and he winced at the trail of tears silently trickling down her face.
"But some days I thought I would go mad desperately praying this would be the day you called or emailed or came in person. I had a suicidal brother after all I didn't want to have to worry about you as well. Because as callous as it sounds I would survive his passing but I wasn't so sure about yours." She turned back toward the ocean the sky was a purple color now and she kept her eye fixed on the horizon so she wouldn't miss what promised to be a beautiful sunrise.
"Then Duo came and suddenly getting up to face the day got a little easier an yet as often as I asked he always kept his silence about you. I never knew whether you were dead or alive happy or sad. Safe.." She trailed off.
He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her pulling her back against his chest. "You have an odd effect on the decisions I make. Doing what I should do regardless the cost. I.." He fumbled awkwardly for words.
"There is a darkness in me that..." He frowned and tried again.
"I find my thoughts filled with you instead of my objective. I stayed away hoping you would forget me.. Praying I could forget..." He whispered. "Duo... We kept each other sane and I found through him I could still be apart of your life without dragging you down with me. But I miscalculated the impact you had on me it didn't lessen it grew." He buried his face in the fragrant silk of her hair.
"You say you love me? I envy the ease in which you do that. Is what I feel for you and Duo love? I don't know... Probably yes but it's such a simple word for what I feel. I need you like air to breath. If you're late or the news reports some incident and I'm not with you I feel a cold that goes bone deep until I see you're alright. Your smile is the headiest rush I've ever felt and if I had fifty years with you both it still wouldn't be enough. I would do anything to keep you safe and anything not to loose you. I made a mistake. Now you know I'm not perfect. But I can't even tell you I wouldn't do it again if I thought it would prevent you from leaving me." His arms tightened painfully around her. "I can't loose you now. I just can't." Her head fell back against his chest.
"Look Heero." Her voice was hushed and full of awe. "It's beautiful."
He eyes left the sun to look at the wash of light that softly bathed her skin and the wonder on her face. "Yes Beautiful.." Relena blushed slightly as she caught his meaning.
She held his gaze intently. "A New day, new beginnings for the three of us. But together this time?" Heero studied her solemnly then smiled. She was so caught up at the sweetness of his smile she almost missed his acceptance. "Together always..."
