Chapter 16: The Cave
Piccolo returned to his cave shortly after the incident with the Siberian Tiger. The warm spring wind bellowed in his ivory cape until her step into the sheltering walls of granite stone. With a flash of his eyes he started the pile of wood aflame.
The golden light danced carefree over the rough interior of the cavern, casting precarious shadows everywhere. His eyes fell down to Eve who had remained unmoving for what seemed forever. He longed to hear her soft melodic voice again.
The namake knelt by her bed and gently placed her there. As he pulled the woolen blanket of her still form, worry was but one of the thousands of emotions that seemed to rage like a storm in his mind and heart. Piccolo closed his eyes for a moment. His heart had known love, for a boy. But it was nothing compared to the tempest wild within him.
It made Piccolo hold his breath several times, as if trying to slow it all down, but to no avail. His heart was pounding inside his chest, and sweat began to bead on his emerald skin. 'what.. is ..wrong with.. me.?'
Piccolo leaned away from Eve long enough to shed his shoulder weights and turban, before he was on his knees beside her, his head bowed forward in exhaustion. He felt incredibly faint as his hands fell on the cold stone before him, bracing his upper body loosely.
He fought inwardly to make the sensations inside him to crease, to make what he was feeling stop. His eyes gazed down at Eve below him, and he closed his eyes tightly.
-------------------------
Eve was lost in darkness, but for mere moments she could feel her body. The wind racing over her naked skin, warm arms around her, the sound of Piccolo's heart beat. She felt sleep take her again in the same wave that the overwhelming feeling of being safe.
She found herself awake what seemed like seconds later, the only warmth around her was fur beneath her and a blanket above her. 'My bed..' she assumed, it felt familiar to her. But something caught her attention.
Eve could hear unsteady breathing right beside her, it sounded labored, almost pained. 'Piccolo?' She flexed her hands, testing to see if she could move, for she felt paralyzed for hours.
Her eyes flew open when a drop of something wet touched her cheek. Her crystal eyes fell on the shadowed form above her.
Eve's eyes softened when she realized it was her beloved fighter. But next came his emotions. The engulfed her in a cold wave. Confusion, fear, lust, worry. She sighed softly. 'He has never felt this. ' Her right hand reached up from under the blanket to caress His moist cheek.
She watched his body freeze all motion, and his obsidian eyes part slowly. "Piccolo." Her voice seemed softer than it should have been, muted by sleep that still lingered in her throat.
Eve swallowed deeply, before she continued. ".Just relax Piccolo. You cannot control your emotions. "
------------------
Piccolo felt her cool touch against his skin and sighed heavily. The sight of her before him made the emotions inside him collided and echoed inside his skull. Then she spoke his name and it made his jaw tighten. His skin was on fire, and all the while he couldn't understand why it felt so strange.
But he listened to her words, and decided to heed her advice. Piccolo closed his eyes and let his restraint go. He then released a breath he had been holding.
His emotions seemed to flow over his skin in a scalding wave that made his body tremble. "Eve.. what is.. this.?" he whispered as his breathing grew shallow.
His eyes opened slowly as he felt her arms around his neck. Her smooth skin against his neck. The feeling inside him creased at her mere touch, but it by no means left, it was just beneath the service, churning.
------------------
She watched him let go of his hold, and the true form of his emotions taking shape. She then knew why this confused him greatly.
--------~* Flash Back*---------
Eve was in Tigress form under a shade tree by the Son house. She had convinced Gohan to quite studying long enough to talk to her for a moment.
Her index claw extended to write in the dirt. 'What is Piccolo?'
----------------------
Gohan and blinked at her note, then laughed. "Well he was born on Earth, so he's an earthling" He looked at Eve's narrowed eyes "But you probably are wondering why he is green with antennae.. " he watched Eve as she nodded. "Well he's a namakian from the Planet Namake"
The boy watched as she wrote another note. 'is he asexual?' Gohan blushed wildly and scratched the back of his head in the same fashion his father did. "Well that's kinda of complicated.. he WAS asexual"
He smirked at the confused expression Eve got. "About a year ago my dad and I summoned the dragon.. you know, the dragonballs?" she nodded "Well my father and I felt the Piccolo didn't feel like he belonged on earth.. So um.. well" Gohan kicked a rock and crossed his arms. "The Dragon made him a boy.. ya know?"
-------------------
Eve smirked and flicked her ears. The boy was blushing wildly. 'and what did Piccolo think of it?'
Gohan went on to explain that Piccolo had hated it, and was going to summon the dragon to fix the problem, but, as it had been explained, the dragonballs were used before he could.
---------------------------------------------------------- Back to Reality-- ----------------------...
Eve wrapped her slender arms around his strong neck and pulled herself up. Her slender form weighing nothing to Piccolo. Her eyes closed as she pressed her cheek against his. She could feel his muscles growing taught once more.
'Love. he can handle that emotion. He loves Gohan.' she smoothed her hands over his arms and heard a gasp escape the namake's lips. '. But that is not what is bothering you is it?'
"Can you hear me Piccolo?" she whispered into his ear and he shuddered. "Gohan told me. about the wish. I know what is happening to you." Eve opened her eyes as she felt Piccolo tilt his head away from her. She couldn't see his face, but she was certain this bothered him greatly, her knowing, also her knowing more about what was happening to his body than he did.
-----------------------
Piccolo mind was swimming, his cloths soaked in sweat. As Eve drew close to him, his body seemed to ache for her touch. Thoughts flooded his mind, thoughts he was not used to having. He wanted her to touch him. Piccolo closed his eyes tightly, hoping it would slow his mind.
She spoke, and the feel of her warm breath against his sensitive ears sent a jolt of energy over his body. It made him choke on his own breath for a moment.
Piccolo opened his eyes as much as he could, which wasn't much as he heard her speak. "... the wish." He turned away and closed his eyes. 'So... that is what is causing this.' He felt disgusted wash over him, and for a moment he gain coherent thought.
"What of it?.." he stated, but his voice was breathy and weak. Enough so that is made his jaw tighten.
-------------------
Eve frowned softly at the tone in his voice, he loathed what Gohan and Goku had done. She could understand that. As a whole, people hated what they didn't understand. She would have to scold those two, they gave this to Piccolo, and never explained any of what it entailed.
".Piccolo, it is important that you answer me truthfully." She whispered to him again. She felt a slight tremor pass over him, and knew she had his complete attention again. "Have you ever pleasured yourself?"
The question brought a red hue to her normally alabaster cheeks. 'I hate to ask you this my love, but if you have not, then that would easily account for why your lost now.' She listened for his reply. "Piccolo?.."
-------------------
He raised a brow, 'What is she talking about. Pleasure myself?' He looked at the ground, then it hit him. The idea made his face burn as well. "No."
He was becoming growingly aware of how close her body was to him.
-----------------------
Eve nodded softly and pulled back from him, to sit on her feet. She knew he wanted her, even if he didn't realize it, just by the sudden worried look her absence gave him.
She tried to her best to push away the red in her cheeks, so she could say this formally, but it was hard for her to.
That and her skin was growing warm. She looked over him, his labored breathing, the sweat covering his body, and the way his gi clung to his emerald skin. His skin, it glistened in the firelight and it made her stomach grow tight. '.no.. not now. He needs me now.. I cannot take advantage of him. he doesn't love me, this is just lust ' she nodded to herself, 'I am the first woman he has been around since.. his change. Unless you count Chi-Chi.. and they hate each other in such a way. No I will have been the first'
"Listen to me. That wish did more than give you." He eyes ventured downward for a moment, trying to find the right word. But her eyes fell shut and her nearly gone blush came back violently as she saw the rather engorged area in his pants.
She swallowed hard " You inherited the hormones also. That is what you are experiencing now Piccolo." Eve kept her eyes closed for several moments before opening them again. But then she realized something. She was still very much naked. '.. That was smart of you Eve.' She quickly took hold of the blanket to her left and pulled around her, her eyes still gazing into her lap.
-------------------------
He closed his eyes, but suddenly felt her warmth leaving him and he turned to look at her. Panic gripped him for a moment, before he took hold of it. His blush had disappeared for the most part, until his eyes landed on her nude form. As much as he knew to look away, he could not. Her skin looked impossibly warm in the golden shade the fire cast upon it. The curve of her body and the rise and fall of her chest.
He had never been intrigued with the female anatomy. Living in the forest, he had caught a fair share of women skinny-dipping in the lake before, and he never had seen anything fascinating about them. But now, the sight of her bare skin made his mouth dry.
Piccolo listened to her words and his eyes returned to her's. "The wish did more than give you." he blinked as she stopped, he raised a brow and watched as he gaze fell. Her blush had been so sudden he saw it appear from thin air before she averted her sapphire eyes. 'What? .' he narrowed his eyes and looked down. His eyes grew wide with shock and embarrassment. 'What the hell !?'
He blinked now that he thought about it. That had been what he had gained from the wish, and if what she was saying was true. Piccolo closed his eyes and listened to her again. 'Hormones.' He tried to remember what he knew about the male anatomy. 'So.I am having the instinctual urge to reproduce. ' It seemed to take some of the edge off once he knew what was happening.
He looked up to her as she pulled the cloth over her. ".What can I do? . to stop this?"
---------------------
Eve looked up into his eyes. "Piccolo." she leaned forward she could feel tears stinging her eyes. "Do you love me?"
She watched his eyes get wide, much like how any man's eyes get upon asking that very question. 'please. please.' She felt a tear slide down her cheek, cold against her moist skin. She felt her heart racing wildly, her pals growing sweat against her thighs.
--------------------
Piccolo blinked as she moved closer to him. He looked down into the endless depths of her blue eyes. Everything else seemed to fade away. He wanted to kiss her, then her words seemed to echo. "Do you love me?"
His long ears easily heard the desperate fluttering of her heart in her chest. Then the tears, His wide eyes softened slightly when he saw a crystalline tear fall from her sapphire eyes.
"Yes.. I love you Eve"
Before he could say anything else her arms found his muscular neck again. The blanket fell from her body as she pulled herself into his lap and kissed him deeply. Piccolo's eyes grew large for but a second before they closed slowly and his arms locked behind her back and he returned the kiss.
-----------------------
Eve heard him say the words. That was the moment she lost control, and thought her heart would explode if she didn't kiss him.
She pressed her form against his and caressed his lips with her own. For a moment she thought she might had been hasty, but she felt his strong arms encircle her, drawing her so close that not a breath of air existed between them.
Tah dah!!! Well whatcha think? A little long, but hey, you like that right guys? Well I need to go now, parents want to dis-own me because I've been sitting here for like 4 hours. Hehehe. Hope you liked it. and now.
