Perfect Beauty

Perfect Beauty

Chapter 10

The cold breeze blew softly through their hair as they stood there on the balcony holding each other tightly. Both were just content to be in each other's arms at that moment in time. Heero gently placed his cheek against hers and felt the coldness of her skin meld with his. "Kanani, let's get you inside, it's getting cold out here," Heero whispered in her ear.

She fell back slightly into his embrace and sighed, "I'm fine Heero, besides, it's gorgeous out here. Who could ask for a more perfect view?"

"Yeah, well I don't want you catching cold. That is, unless you want to walk around town tomorrow feeling completely miserable," he replied sarcastically.

She turned around in his arms and looked him in the eyes. With a slight smile on her face, she placed her finger upon his lips and said, "Fine."

Kanani then wriggled free of his hold and leaned over the side of the balcony railing. She gazed down at the moon stricken water and closed her eyes momentarily. Heero came up from behind and grabbed her around the waist. "Maybe just a few minutes longer," he whispered against her skin, the warmth sending a tingling sensation throughout her body.

"Heero?" she said as she placed her hand on his.

"Hm?"

"I love you too."

He then placed a gentle kiss on her temple and held her a little tighter. The sweet scent of her shampoo was intoxicating his senses. A slight sound caught Heero's attention, the subtle sound of yawning. He looked down at the girl beside him as she just closed her mouth. "Am I that boring?" Heero whispered sarcastically.

Kanani giggled slightly and replied, "It's been a longer day than I thought."

"Well you slept most of the time so I don't know how you can be that tired," he retorted sweetly.

"Yeah well, I had too much on my mind to really get some sound sleep but now I feel a lot better."

Catching her off guard, Heero picked her up in his arms and carried her back inside her bedroom and carefully laid her on the bed. "I have legs you know," she remarked.

Heero just smiled as he walked over to lock the balcony doors and close the curtains. Kanani had settled down under the covers as Heero came over and sat on the edge of the bed beside her. "Are you going to be ok for tonight?" he asked.

"Yeah I think so. Hey Heero, let's go out tomorrow night after we see the town, like a date. I could even buy a dress."

He brushed the hair away from her face and tucked it tenderly behind her ears. With a soft look in his eyes, he replied, "Sounds good. Now get some sleep ok?"

She just smiled as he placed a sweet kiss on her forehead. He then got up and walked towards the door. Just before turning off the lights, he turned to her and said, "If you need me, I'm right across the hall. Goodnight Kanani."

"Goodnight." And with those words, Heero turned off the lights and closed the door behind him.

Heero shuffled back towards his room then opening the door to go inside. After shutting the door behind him, he stood there in the dark for a moment and closed his eyes. 'I'm glad that went well. I don't know what I would have done if I got the opposite reaction,' he thought as he opened his eyes back up and walked over towards his bed. He peeled off his clothes that fell in a pool at his feet and nestled himself under the covers. He laid there with his hands behind his head just staring straight up at the ceiling. 'Now that I have her, I don't ever want to lose her,' was his last thought before he fell asleep.

Morning came and Heero was the first to rise. He looked at his alarm clock as it read 7am. A smirk appeared across his face as he realized how much fun it would be to wake up Kanani, she definitely wasn't a morning person. He got out of bed and quickly got himself dressed. Heero quietly exited the room, shutting the door ever so softly behind him. He opened Kanani's door just a crack, enough for him to see if she was awake. To no avail, there she was, fast asleep in her bed. Heero padded softly across the room to the balcony doors and the curtains that covered them. Through a tiny slit in the tapestry, he could see the bright sunlight just waiting to pour into the room. Another smile spread across his face as he threw open the drapes allowing the sunlight to flood the room. "Heero!" Kanani whined as she rolled over in bed pulling the covers over her head.

"Good morning," he replied almost too cheerfully. He was going to get a kick out of this.

"It's too early Heero, give me another hour," she moaned.

Heero walked over towards her side of the bed and gently lifted the covers away from her head. What he saw was a pair of sleep filled eyes staring dazily right back at him. A lackadaisical smile appeared on her face, she couldn't resist those eyes of his even though her body was more than willing to do so. Kanani buried her face in her pillow in an effort to go back to sleep, her body was winning this battle. A smug look spread across Heero's face as an evil thought crossed his mind. He put the covers back on her and casually walked over to the other side of the bed. Being too tired to even realize what was going on, Kanani was suddenly pounced on by Heero, causing her to wake up almost instantly. He grabbed a hold of her from behind and pulled her body close to his. Kanani turned her head slightly towards his face with a look of death in her eyes but it soon melted away with just one glance into is midnight blue eyes. "You just couldn't resist could you?" she muttered.

He just smiled and nuzzled his head against her neck giving her a tender kiss. She could smell his intoxicating cologne that still lingered on him from the night before. "So what are we going to do today Heero?" Kanani said as she rolled over in his arms.

With his eyes mere inches from hers, he replied, "Oh I don't know, I'll think of something."

"You'd better. I didn't get up this early for nothing," she said tapping him on the nose.

"Well, first you can go back to sleep for a few more hours, I have a few errands to do," he told her with a smug expression on his face.

He saw her hand reach to grab a pillow and he immediately slid out of the bed just in time to dodge her attack. "Heero!" she yelled as she hurled the pillow at him.

"See you in a few," he said dodging the pillow as he quickly made his way to the door.

At the same moment the door shut behind him, he heard the muffled thud of a pillow hitting it. With a smirk of delight on his face, he descended the stairs and went out. Kanani just laid there and pulled the blanket back over her head. After a few minutes of trying to go back to sleep, she threw the covers off of her and sat up in bed. "Damn Heero, you knew this would happen," she cursed sleepily. She threw her legs over the side of the bed and got up and made her way towards the bathroom. "Hell, might as well take a bath while he's out doing who knows what." Kanani turned the knobs on the bathtub and drew herself a hot bubble bath.

Heero was out on the streets of Bruges taking in his environment and finding out where everything was. The aroma of fresh bread from the local bakery filled the morning air as the rest of the town started to wake. Heero spotted a little cafe along one side of the street that looked cozy. He walked over to catch a glimpse of the menu. 'Good, they have breakfast. Actually, by the time Kanani is ready, it will be lunch time,' he thought comically. A little ways down the street he saw a little boutique situated at the corner of the street. He meandered towards it and saw that it was a dress shop. Since it wasn't open yet, he peered through the window to see what they had. Something then caught his eye and a smile crept upon his lips. 'Perfect.' Heero then continued to walk down the street to the local florist shop, they were open already. The smell of fresh blossoms invited him into the shop where he was encompassed by a mass of gorgeous flowers.

"Sir, may I help you?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Yeah, I would like to order a bouquet of these for later this evening. Is that possible?" he said as he pointed to one of the arrangements by the shopkeeper.

"No problem sir, they will be ready for you by 6. You just need to sign this here and you are all set," the man replied as he placed a little yellow slip of paper in front of Heero.

Heero signed the paper and told the shopkeeper, "Thanks."

Heero looked down at his watch and decided to head back towards the house. "Well that takes care of that," he told himself quietly. "Wonder if she's up by now."

Back at the house, Kanani was indulging in a lavender bubble bath. Her head was leaned up against the side cushioned by a little bath pillow. Her eyes were closed, she was completely oblivious to the world around her. Heero had just come home and walked in the door. He made his way up the stairs back to Kanani's room to see if she was up yet. Since he didn't hear anything, he assumed she was still asleep. He opened the door just a crack and peered inside. After he saw that she wasn't in bed, he came inside the room. Heero scanned the room for her and then saw the bathroom door opened just slightly. He quietly made his way across the room and slowly opened the bathroom door. He saw Kanani lying there in the tub with bubbles up to just above her chest and her eyes closed, she had no idea she was being watched. As much as he wanted to hop in the tub with her, he decided to save that for another time. "Didn't think you would be up," he spat out non-chalantly.

Kanani's eyes flew open and she immediately sank down into the tub. "Heero! Have you been watching me this whole time?!"

"No, only for a few minutes," he replied with sarcasm lingering in his voice.

"Dammit Heero, you scared me. I thought it was someone else," she said as the tone of her voice began to mellow.

Heero kneeled beside her and brought his hand up to the side of her face with a gentle touch. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he told her as he gave her a kiss on her forehead. "Hungry?"

"Yeah, now that you mention it. Did you find a place in town?"

"Yeah but we need to leave soon because I'm not sure how long they will be serving breakfast."

"Ok, just give me a few minutes so I can get out and change. Now if you would excuse me," she said as she shooed him away with her hand.

Heero just chuckled and left, shutting the door behind him. He heard Kanani get out of the tub and drain the bath water as he sat there on the bed waiting for her. A few minutes later, Kanani came out of the bathroom fully dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and light blue turtleneck sweater. She caught sight of Heero and a maniacal grin crossed her face. 'Payback.' Without a seconds warning, Heero was pounced on by Kanani, sending them both into a mass of tangled limbs on the bed. Kanani then rolled over to face Heero and said, "Gotcha."

"I'll let you get away with that for now, but just you wait, tonight, you'll be sorry," Heero threatened her sarcastically.

She stuck her tongue out and replied, "I'm scared."

"You should be. Shall we go?" Heero said as he got up off of the bed.

"Let's," Kanani retorted as she took Heero's hand.

The two headed off to the little cafe down the street. Since it was a beautiful day, the two decided to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the scenery. "This is a nice place Heero, did you find it this morning?" Kanani asked as she took a seat.

"Yeah among other things," he said, but his mind rested elsewhere.

As Kanani chatted away, Heero pretended to listen, his mind and eyes couldn't leave her. 'I never realized how beautiful she was until now. It's amazing how one's opinions change when they realize how much they really love someone. You start to notice that everything about them is beautiful, not just their looks. But that hair of hers, and those eyes, those eyes I could get lost in forever, and her skin, like velvet to the touch. Why didn't I notice all of this before? Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but her soul mirrors that beauty as well. I guess there is a God after all, or else, how would I end up this happy?' Heero thought but then was quickly zapped back into reality.

"Heero? Are you listening?" Kanani implored as she looked at the far off expression in his eyes.

Heero shook his head slightly and muttered, "Sorry, what did you say?"

"Oh nothing. Have you decided what you want to eat?"

"Not yet," Heero replied as he took a look at the menu.

Kanani just rested her chin on her hand and looked at Heero as he scanned over the menu. 'I never thought being in love would be like this. I'm glad he saved me that night or else I would have never known such a wonderful feeling as this. I've got to admit, those intoxicating blue eyes along with his gorgeous hair and body are what drew me in at first, but that's not what I fell in love with. Despite his horrid past, he has a beautiful heart and soul, that is what I fell in love with. I don't think I could ever let go of him, he is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, now until forever,' she concluded mentally as Heero folded up the menu and placed it in front of him.

"Ready to order?" Heero asked.

"Sure thing," Kanani replied, her thoughts still fresh in her mind.

Heero waved the waiter over with his hand and the two ordered their breakfast. Kanani still had a spacy look in her eyes as she stared blankly at the passing scenery. She sighed and said softly, "What a beautiful day, isn't it Heero?"

"Yeah it is. Kanani?"

"Yes Heero?" she replied as she turned her head to give him her full attention.

"About tonight, we're going to have to do it some other time. Something came up that I have to take care of."

With those words, Heero saw the expression in her face change from elated to melancholic. "Oh, I see," she muttered as she cast her gaze downwards.

Heero reached across the table and took her hand between his and told her, "I'm sorry but hey, we still have the whole day to spend together, isn't that enough?"

She looked up and cracked a smile. "Well I can't say that I'm not disappointed but you're right, we do have a whole day and we should make the most of it."

He brought her hand to his lips and gave her a gentle kiss and smiled. "Thank you for understanding."

Kanani just smiled back. "Well, that didn't take long," Heero said as he saw their waiter approaching with their food.

He gently released her hand right before the waiter put their food in front of them. The two ate rather contentedly the meal that was brought before them. After they were finished, they left the little cafe and headed down the street. "So Heero, where to first?" Kanani asked as she paused at the street corner.

Heero looked over his shoulder at the dress boutique behind him and said, "Well I've got to talk to the owner of this boutique about something. While I'm doing that, you can take a look around inside if you want."

Kanani nodded, "Sure, sounds great."

The two walked into the little corner store and Kanani was immediately taken in by all of the beautiful dresses that they had. Heero walked to the cashier and then the next minute they headed to a room in the back of the shop. 'I wonder if it has anything to do with what he's doing later on today?' Kanani thought as she peered around a dress rack towards the back of the store. Kanani sorted through all of the beautiful and elegant dresses that laid before her. The one thing that really caught her eye was the fact that they were so expensive. 'What I wouldn't give to have one of these dresses,' she thought. She then heard footsteps come back down the hall and saw Heero and the shop owner coming this way. Heero looked in her direction and said, "Ready?"

Kanani just nodded and the two left the store. Heero took her hand and said, "How about a boat right through the old canals of the city?"

Kanani's face lit up and she exclaimed, "Really?!"

"Of course, it's the best way to see the city. Now this way," he replied as he gently tugged her hand in the direction of the canals.

Along the side of a canal, Heero found a quaint little boat rental shop. There they rented a little rowboat just big enough for two people. With that boat, they explored the city through the beautiful canals that ran through it. Heero rowed slowly and smoothly along the water so they could take in the sites to the fullest extent. The two of them stopped briefly at a cafe along one of the canals to have some lunch and then they continued on their way. By the time they saw the city via the canals, the sun was already starting to set. They returned the boat to the rental place and Heero gave his hand to help Kanani out of the boat. "So, how did you like it?" Heero asked as he helped her out of the boat.

As soon as Kanani was out of the boat, she replied, "Oh Heero, it was beautiful. What a perfect way to see the city. Thank you." She then gave him a light kiss on the lips.

"I don't mean to cut this short but we had better get back, I have stuff to take care of," Heero announced and Kanani just smiled.

"All right, I'm in the mood for a shower any ways," she replied as the two headed off back towards the house.

When the two got back home, Kanani went up stairs to go take a shower but before doing so, Heero told her, "I'll be back in a few, I've got some things to take care of in town. Will you be all right here?"

"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me, I'm a big girl," she said winking at him.

He just smiled and walked out the door leaving Kanani to go take her shower. As soon as Heero was out the door, he proceeded quickly down the street to the dress boutique at the corner. As he entered, the owner said, "Here is what you wanted sir, thank you and come back again."

Heero nodded and left the store with a box under his arm and headed towards the florist. As he walked in, the shopkeeper told him, "Your order is ready sir, do you have your yellow slip?"

Heero handed the young man the slip of paper in exchange for his order. With both hands full, Heero nodded his thanks and quickly went back home. When he walked in, he could still hear the shower running up stairs. 'Thank God she takes long showers,' Heero thought as he quickly made his way up the stairs. As quietly as he could, Heero entered her room and laid one of the boxes on Kanani's bed along with a note. He then headed back to his room with the other item under his arm to get himself cleaned up.

While in the shower, Kanani heard her door shut so she figured Heero was home. When she got out of the shower, she wrapped her hair and body in a towel and cautiously opened the bathroom door. Seeing that no one was in there, she decided to go ahead and get dressed, but before she could do that, a strange box on her bed caught her eye. "Could this be from Heero?" she said quietly to herself.

She sat herself on the bed and carefully opened up the box. Her eyes went wide when she saw what was in it, a beautiful black dress. She gingerly pulled the dress out of the box and held it up in front of her. It was a floor length, black satin slip dress with a long slit up the side. "This is absolutely beautiful," her voice full of pleasure. A note then caught her eye as she lay the dress back down on the bed. She opened it and it read:

-Here's a little something for our date tonight, I hope you like it. Did you think

I would actually postpone a night like this? I'll pick you up in your room by 7.

Don't be late.-

Heero

Kanani smiled brightly and her heart began to flutter. She looked up at the clock and it read 6:30. With that in mind, she quickly went to the bathroom to dry her hair. With twenty minutes to spare, she took off her towel and rummaged through the dresser drawers to find a lacy pair of underwear and a satin bra, both black and perfect for the occasion. Along with them, she also found a pair of black pantyhose. With ease, she slipped the pantyhose on and ran to the bathroom to do her hair and makeup. She tied her hair up in a French Twist and began to carefully apply her makeup. In the midst of putting the finishing touches on her makeup, she heard a knock at the door. "I'll be right there Heero!" she yelled through the thick walls.

Heero just smiled and sighed, "Somehow I knew she wouldn't be ready on time."

Heero then heard the soft padding of feet as they made their way from the bathroom to the bedroom. 'Well at least she didn't take as long as I thought she would.'

Kanani pulled on the satin dress and zipped it up in the back. It fit her perfectly. Before answering the door, she put on a pair of black heels and took a quick glance in the mirror, she was quite happy with the results. "Oh geeze, I forgot my perfume," she said just as she was about to answer the door. She made her way to the bathroom and put the final touch to her look. With butterflies aloft in her stomach, she took a deep breath and opened the door. There she saw Heero leaning up against the stair rail looking away from her. "Heero?"

Heero turned around and his heart went to his throat, he'd never seen her look so beautiful. "You look amazing Kanani. I see that the dress fits perfectly on you. Oh, and these are for you," Heero said as he pulled a bouquet of long stem red roses from behind his back.

Kanani took the bouquet of roses and inhaled their sweat scent. She went up to him and gave him a huge hug and he returned the gesture. Heero inhaled the sweat scent of perfume that lingered around her neck and behind her ears as Kanani also took in the scent of his cologne that just sent a burning sensation throughout her senses. As she pulled away, she kissed him and said, "Thank you Heero. You don't look so bad yourself."

Heero was dressed in a fine tailored black suit with a white scarf draped around his neck and shoulders. His hair was the usual brown mop that casually hang down in front of his eyes. "I'm going to put these in water real quick, don't want these to wilt," Kanani told him as she walked into her room to find a vase. After finding a suitable vase, she filled it with water and placed the roses inside. Heero gave his arm to her and she took it. "Shall we?" Heero asked.

"Yes," was all that Kanani said.

Heero took Kanani to one of the finest Belgium restaurants in town. The place was beautiful from the inside out. There was an outside dining area lit dimly with little white lights and the ceiling was the stars above. "Would you like to sit outside?" Heero asked as he turned to look at her, he still couldn't believe how beautiful she looked.

"That sounds wonderful," she answered.

The waiter escorted them to their table outside on the patio. "Heero, I really wasn't expecting something quite like this," she said as she caught his gaze.

A slight smile crossed his face as he looked right back at her. "I knew you weren't and that's why I did it. Besides, you make such a lovely date," he remarked.

Kanani felt her face turn warm as her stomach started to churn. She turned her head upwards towards the stars to avoid his piercing gaze. "Is something the matter Kanani?" Heero asked at her momentary silence.

She just sighed and whispered, "It's just that no one has ever done anything like this for me. I keep thinking that this is all a dream, that this feeling will eventually fade away and I'll just wake up from it all."

Heero took her hand from across the table and held it warmly between his. "Look at me," he told her. She then returned her gaze back to his. "Kanani, if this is a dream, I don't want to wake up, ever. This feeling inside of me will burn until the day I die and I don't want that day to come because I don't think I could ever live without you."

Kanani's eyes began to glisten with unborn tears as she watched the sincerity in Heero's eyes as he spoke those words to her. She was afraid to respond for fear that she might burst into tears. "Do you always have to cry?" Heero said as he gently brushed away a lone tear from her cheek with his thumb.

Before Kanani could muster up a reply, the waiter came by and brought the conversation to a brief pause. Since Kanani was afraid of speaking at the moment, Heero went ahead and ordered for her. As soon as the waiter left, Heero turned to her and just took her in his gaze. "You know, before I had a hard time shutting you up and now I can't even get you to say a word," he commented on Kanani's silence.

That was enough to get a small giggle out of Kanani. "Very funny Heero. Did you really mean what you said, just a few minutes ago?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"It's just that I don't want to get hurt again. I have been hurt and used many times and I don't think I could handle it anymore, especially now."

Kanani saw the hurt look in Heero's eyes as soon as she said those words. "I love you Kanani, I would never do such things to you, even hurt you for that matter."

Kanani could hear the hurt in his voice and she just wanted to cry, not from being sad, but from being angry at herself. "I'm so sorry Heero," her voice wavering from the overwhelming urge to cry. "I'm so cruel to you and yet you still love me."

Heero looked up at her, his entire soul pouring out through his eyes. "Please don't talk like that, your too beautiful to cry," he answered as he brushed away another tear from her face.

Kanani in an effort to regain her composure, mouthed a very subtle, "I love you," to Heero. Heero acknowledged it by gently kissing the palm of her hand.

Moments later, the waiter brought their food to them and they sat there and dined under the stars. As they were leaving the restaurant, Heero turned to her and asked, "Are you up for dancing?"

She gently squeezed his hand and smiled brightly. "I know a place not too far from here that we can go to, sound good?"

Kanani was too elated to even reply. "I'll take that as a yes," Heero retorted.

The place that Heero took Kanani was a little outdoor dancing area overlooking one of the canals. The dance floor was a balcony encompassed by a stone railing and lit by little white lights. The air was filled with music from the small orchestra in the corner. Heero and Kanani held each other close as they danced under the star filled sky. During a break in the music, Kanani walked over to one of the railings that oversaw the canal. Heero came up behind her and put his arm around her waist. "Is there anything I could do to make your night more perfect?" he said as he pulled her close to him.

"Absolutely nothing," she replied.

"Oh that reminds me, I forgot to give you something," Heero told her as he fished around in his pocket.

As she turned around, she saw Heero pull out a black box from his pocket. "I saw this at the boutique and had to get it for you, it was just too beautiful not to buy."

When he opened it, there inside the box was a beautiful gold necklace with a diamond in the shape of a droplet hanging from it. Heero carefully took the chain out of the box and gingerly put it around Kanani's neck. "Heero," she whispered.

"You don't have to say anything," was what he told her before kissing her tenderly.

The music started to play again and Heero offered his hand to her and she gladly took it. They continued to dance the night away, holding each other close the whole night through. They left when the orchestra did, they didn't want to let go of that moment. Hand in hand, they walked back towards the house. When they got back to the house, Heero escorted Kanani back up to her room. "Won't you come in?" Kanani asked as she pulled Heero by the hand into her room.

"Like I have a choice," he remarked.

The room was filled with a beautiful moonlight that was let in by the uncovered balcony doors. Kanani slipped off her heels in front of the bed and took a seat on the edge. Heero took off his coat and tie and draped it over one of the chairs. After taking off his shoes, he walked over and took a seat by Kanani on the bed and looked out the balcony window. The glow of the moonlight played off all her features nicely as Heero took in all that was her. He slowly brought his hand up to her face and caressed her cheek tenderly with the back of his hand. Kanani leaned into his hand as she turned to face him. There she was met with a pair of gorgeous blue eyes. "You look absolutely amazing tonight Kanani."

"No thanks to you," she replied coyly.

"You were still beautiful without the dress and makeup. To be loved by you is the most wonderful feeling one can ever imagine," he whispered as his lips neared hers.

As he rested his forehead upon her, their lips brushed up against each others ever so slightly. He ran his hand through her hair and whispered, "Please don't ever leave me."

With those words, their lips touched in a tender and sweet kiss. The kiss grew as their lips melted into one another and within seconds, their tongues took apart in the intricate dance of passion. Without breaking the kiss, Heero eased Kanani onto her back, as his body hovered slightly above hers. His hands began to caress the sides of her body as they lingered up her arms and eased off Kanani's dress straps in one fluid motion, his mouth never leaving hers. Within moments, Kanani was liberated from her dress that now lay in a pool on the floor beside her. Before Heero could make his descent on her neck with his mouth, he felt her hands beginning to fondle the buttons on his shirt in an attempt to rid him of it. With one swift motion, Heero had his shirt off and onto the floor along with her dress. With that out of the way, Heero slowly kissed his way down her neck, gently nipping and tugging at the delicate skin. Kanani's back began to arch as she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him closer. With hands still free, Heero slipped his hands behind her and unclasped her bra, that was the next thing to land on the floor. She was now almost completely exposed to him. She then paused and gently pushed his head up and away from her, smiling as she got up off of the bed. With her back turned to him, she slipped her pantyhose off and her underwear followed into the other heap of clothing on the floor. By the time she turned around, Heero had followed her cue and had taken off the rest of his clothes.

Heero walked over to her and grabbed her from behind around the waist and pulled her body to his. As he buried his face in the hollow her neck, he growled in her ear, "Your even more beautiful in the flesh. Now where were we?"

Heero scooped her up in his arms and carried placed her gingerly on the bed. He laid over her and began to divulge himself in her soft milky white flesh. He traced soft kisses from her neck down to her chest where he covered each succulent breast with his mouth. He gently suckled and nipped at each tender bud all the while kneading the other mound of soft skin. Kanani was starting to heat up under his touch. She could feel his manhood rubbing up against her already wet jewel, which caused her to moan in ecstasy. Heero then began to descend her body once more, lightly trailing his tongue down her smooth stomach. He could feel her wriggle beneath him, it was time to make her his. He raised his head from her stomach and brought his face up to hers and with a gentle kiss, he asked softly, "Can I make you mine?"

She said nothing and kissed him as an answer. Heero slowly moved on top of her and placed himself between her legs. With one smooth motion, he entered her and her warm tightness nearly sent him to heaven right then and there. He knew she was a virgin and he was her first so he had to be careful not to lose himself too quickly. With care and ease, Heero made love to Kanani, his one and only love. His heart began to race as he slowly picked up the pace, he was about to burst. Within minutes, Heero came inside her and fell on top of her in a fit of exhaustion. He rolled next to her and pulled her damp body close to his. He looked into her eyes and he could see slightly red rimmed eyes looking back at him. He brought his hand up to her face and brushed a few damp strands of hair away from her face. "I'm sorry," he whispered as he placed a tender kiss on her forehead.

"I'm ok, I promise," she told him as she lazily ran her fingers over his smooth chest.

"I love you."

"And I love you Heero," she replied as she nuzzled her head against his chest.

Heero pulled the sheets over them and they both fell asleep within each other's embrace.
