Chapter 8: Jungle Run (cont.)
Goku snarled in frustration as Vegeta's mocking laughter trailed off. What is
he to do? He cannot catch her; it is obvious she has the upper hand here.
Kamii...Dende...anyone! HAALP!!
As if in answer to his silent plea, the heavens opened up.
Vegeta growled in irritation as the fat raindrops fell around her, slipping on
the slick narrow branch. Damn! Small patches of moss became slick traps and the
heavy downpour obscured her night vision. She may have to drop back to the ground.
A sudden flash blinded her and a split second later, the accompanying crash of
thunder nearly shocked her from her precarious perch. Shimatta! That was too
close! It's not safe in the treetops anymore.
Goku felt Vegeta's ki lower from the higher levels towards the forest floor and
grinned. Thank you Dende!
(Although if Dende *had* been watching... He's underage! *wags finger*)
Vegeta lost her handhold just a couple of metres from the forest floor and
landed hard on her front. As she scrambled to pick herself up, she felt Goku's
ki approaching. She had barely picked herself up when she was flung to the
muddy floor again as Goku pinned her from behind.
"Caught you!" A low chuckle taunted her and she bucked furiously,
throwing him off.
The two wrestled and grappled around in the squelching mud, neither finding
purchase as slick skins prevented a tight hold. Goku held back, relying on his
heavier weight and larger size to try to pin her down while the smaller Saiyan
thrashed frantically, elbows and knees deadly weapons. A heavy mud- laden tail
slapped his face hard, raising red welts.
Goku growled angrily and tightened his arms around her body, his legs
attempting to hook hers immobile. Suddenly the muddy pair rolled into stream
and came up gasping in the icy-cold water. Vegeta was a tad slower and the
larger Saiyan took the opportunity to pin her firmly against a large boulder on
one bank.
Her breath knocked out of her, Vegeta opened her mouth only to have it crushed
by a bruising kiss. His tongue plunged in, ravishing her mouth mercilessly.
Dizzy and breathless, she moaned, her rigid body relaxing, the fight finally
draining out of her.
"Game over." Goku whispered throatily when he released her lips.
Goku pulled her up onto the bank and the two quickly divested each other of
their sodden clothing eagerly. Vegeta gasped and moaned, writhing her lithe
body under his as hot mouth and hands paid homage down her body, running
feverishly over her cool skin. Their eyes shone with a feral gleam as instincts
took over, submerging their minds in a primal red haze of lust.
Silvery moonlight and rain played with the forest shadows over the lovers as
they danced in steps as old as time, filling the night with heated moans and
frantic mewing. Lips kissed, licked and sucked satiny skin, hands roamed and
nails raked sensitive flesh, furry coils slapped and whipped tender skin,
raising angry welts, the mix of pain and pleasure exciting yet further.
Goku groaned as he slid himself in her slick heat, his conscious mind barely
able to hold back his urge to ram himself to the hilt. Vegeta growled
impatiently and hissed, "I'm not made of glass!" She emphasized her
point by pulling hard on his hips, wrapping lean legs tightly around his
muscled waist.
That move sent him over the edge and with a rumbling growl, he dropped all
restraints. Pumping hard, he set an increasing pace as both shrieked their
pleasure, their blood afire and nerves tingling.
Their ki spiked as they neared climax. Unconsciously, Goku's hair flashed yellow
and Vegeta's flickered wildly between ebony and gold. As she came with a
shriek, her aura exploded in a golden flame. Crackling golden lighting danced
crazily around them, echoing the silvery lightning that flashed overhead in the
storm. As Goku came with a howl, he leaned forward instinctively, biting deeply
into the soft skin at her throat. Vegeta reared up in pleasure and pain,
sinking her own sharp canines in his throat, claiming him in return. Their
climax was intensified as mouths greedily sucked hot blood, the rich taste and
tangy scent inflaming their overly heated senses. Their minds melded as they
were now linked eternally.
As the waves of their climax subsided into a hazy crimson, they lapped
contentedly at the bleeding wounds, purring their pleasure, eyes already
closing in exhaustion. Goku pulled out and rolled to his side, pulling his new
mate protectively against his chest as sleep overtook them.
-----
Rays of bright morning sunlight fell across the sleeping forms in the clearing
beside a burbling stream. Goku squinted against the harsh light as he woke up.
Where…what? Ooohhh…memories of the previous night came rushing back and he
broke into a broad grin. Pushing himself up on one elbow, he gazed down fondly
at his new Mate.
Vegeta flung an arm over her eyes and curled up more tightly in a fruitless
attempt to escape the relentless light. To make matters worse, her shoulder was
being shaken gently but firmly. "Wake up koi." Vegeta mumbled a few
choice swear words and attempted to flip over but the hand on her shoulder was
insistent. With a groan, Vegeta opened her eyes extremely reluctantly, yawning
and stretching lazily.
"Morning, konecko."
Vegeta tried to glare but she was strangely pleased by the term of affection.
"You have no idea how kawaii you look, curled up like that just now."
Goku grinned happily. He leaned forward and they shared a sweet kiss, purring
softly.
Groaning, she moved to stand up. "Uurgh…I ache all over. And I'm extremely
sticky." Her tall mate rubbed his bruised body, pouting. "I'm not
much better. You were positively vicious last night."
Reaching for their muddy, sodden clothing, Vegeta curled her lips in disgust.
"I'm not wearing that. Let's go home right now. I *need* a hot shower.
Now."
"But 'Geta, I'm hungry!" On cue, his stomach rumbled in protest.
"Bath. First."
-----
Vegeta luxuriated under the hot spray, her slight body arching against a larger
one behind. Goku had his fingers buried in her foamy hair, rubbing and
massaging her scalp as she purred contentedly.
"Last night was fantastic, koi… We've done it so many times in the past week
but last night was truly mind blowing." Goku was getting hard again, thinking
about it.
Vegeta smirked. "The tails… the moonlight… the hunt and the fighting were all aphrodisiacs.
It was many factors."
~And it will only get better – I've heard stories about Saiyan bonds.~ Vegeta
added through their mental link, startling Goku. He had little telepathy
experience, having lived among humans all his life and only discovering
recently that Saiyans possess some telepathic abilities.
Goku grinned as he recalled a particular memory. "Are you aware you ascended
last night?"
Vegeta's eyes widened in stunned delight. "So I did!" She concentrated,
powering up and after flickering uncertainly for a few moments, her hair turned
gold. She spun around, her teal eyes glittering brightly, clutching his
shoulders tightly. "So I did!"
"Well, you certainly had it easier than me. Rage and grief triggered my
transformation. The irony was, you were the catalyst." He grinned naughtily.
"All I did was to fuck you senseless."
Vegeta growled warningly, her cheeks crimson. "If you *ever* tell anyone…"
Hearty laughter rang out in the tiled bathroom.
-----
A/N: I know the lemon sucks, but this is my second attempt.
It
had occurred to me that if strong emotion was the trigger for the
transformation… maybe Vegeta's trigger won't be rage since Vegeta is *always*
angry. Heh heh.
