Chapter 8: Giving In
"SOOONIIIC!" Amy yelled through the speaker.
"WHAAAT?" he asked, now running through a green forest. He had been running for over three hours now, and nothing was found in that period. Amy's wailing every three seconds was starting to bother him.
"You never called! How could you?"
"I'm runnin' babe. How am I supposed to call ya?"
"But you promised!" she reminded him.
"I'm fine, Amy! Don't worry about me!" he pleaded.
"I can't help it!" she whined.
"I'll make it up to ya, okay? We can--"
By now, Tails had cut off the rest of the conversation by putting on his soundproof earplugs. He breathed a sigh of relief at the quiet that took over. He pressed a button, activating a wall that would separate him from the pink annoyance. He took out the earplugs and picked up his comm. Knux had been pretty quiet lately, so he wanted to see if he was alright.
"Tails to Knux, come in Knux." No reply came to the Tornado. "Hello, anybody there?" There was again no reply. He heard the heli behind him, so he put it down and assumed that Knux was sleeping. He took this extra free time to compose a speech that he would give to Sonic about his new "girlfriend."
"I, I love you, Rouge."
"I love you, Knuckles."
This exchange of words echoed through Knux's brain for a while now. That night had changed his life forever and he would never forget it. It gave him life. It gave him feelings he thought he never had. Right now was the first time he realized that he really loved Rouge. Saying it was hard, but feeling it was even harder. Now it was official: Knuckles was in full- blown love with Rouge.
His thoughts were interrupted by speakers blaring his name. He knew who it was and immediately rushed to the comm. "Knux to Tails: Did you just call me?"
Tails saw Amy engaged in some major conversation over the walkie- talkie before he heard Knux's voice over the loudspeaker. He walked up to the control panel and retrieved the speaker.
"Knux! You okay? I've been calling you for a while."
"Yeah, I was just thinking. You got anything yet?"
"Not yet..You sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. It should be Amy that you're worrying about."
"She's really distracting Sonic. I should stop the madness now! Over and out!" He put the comm. down and headed towards the room that Amy was in.
"Oh yeah, that sounds great! Ooh, you're making me blush!" he heard her say before he took the walkie-talkie away. "Hey! What are you doing?" she asked angrily.
"Um, there's a few bugs I need to work out in this thing. I completely forgot!" Tails lied. "I'll tell Sonic! Here, you can have this one." He took out another walkie-talkie and gave it to her.
"Oh. Thanks, Tails!" Amy exclaimed. "Now where was I, baby? Oh yeah-"
The rest of the conversation was cut out by Tails' snickering all the way back to the control panel.
".and I was thinking we could do that. What do you think?"
The mysterious owner of the other walkie-talkie formed a questioning look on his face..
His lips brushed hers. He finally did it. Nothing else mattered now, not ever. He could feel his cheeks grow hot. He felt a little guilt as he barely kissed her. He pulled back and looked at his captor.
Rouge was incredibly confused right now. She knew she loved Knuckles, but she also felt like she loved Shadow, too. She had never thought that she would be in this situation. Her eyes halfway closed as he softly kissed her. She felt herself relax of any burden that bothered her at the moment. A song started to play in her head as he let go of her and stared into her eyes.
I don't know what's come over me
I don't know I don't know what's come over me I don't know what's come over me I don't know I don't know what's come over me
Because I never felt like this (I don't wanna be wrong 'cause I like it) Thinkin' about the way you kiss (I don't wanna be wrong but I like it) I think you stole my heart from me (See, I don't wanna be wrong 'cause I like it) But I belong to somebody (Even though it seems wrong I can't fight it)
It almost feels as if I'm not myself Under a spell from someone else I think I'm falling for somebody else And I can't control myself It's like some kind of hex on me Controlling who I love and how I speak And when he's gone my heart won't beat Tell me what's come over me
I don't know what's come over me
I don't know I don't know what's come over me I don't know what's come over me I don't know I don't know what's come over me
Because I never felt like this (I don't wanna be wrong 'cause I like it) Thinkin' about the way you kiss (I don't wanna be wrong but I like it) You got me thinkin' I should leave (See I don't wanna be wrong cause I like it) But I belong to somebody (Even though it seems wrong I can't fight it) I know that I already have a love He's all I know and all I trust But lately I've been fallin' out of love I find myself so deep in lust And ev'rytime he's here with me I look into his eyes so desperately But it's not his face I see Tell me what's come over me
I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know I don't know what's come over me (I, I don't know) I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me) I don't know I don't know what's come over me
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know (I don't know, I just don't know) I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know (What's come over me...It's like...) I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know (Somethin' has taken complete control of me) I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know (And I can't function, I'm not me.)
I don't know what's come over me (I don't know me)
I don't know I don't know what's come over me (Na-na, na-na, na-na) I don't know what's come over me (What's come over me, over me) I don't know I don't know what's come over me ( I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.)
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
She felt the addiction wash over her. It wasn't natural, but she couldn't control it. She had to have him. All control was lost and it all depended on him to get it back.
He could tell that she was losing it. He had to catch her before she literally went insane from the loss of control. He locked her lips into a passionate kiss. It was everything that he asked for. All this time alone paid off with that moment.
She felt his tongue massage hers. She didn't want this, but the loss of control caused her to remain still. On the other hand, he was a good kisser. It almost made her forget everything. She closed her eyes, hoping that the moment would end, while another part of her wanted it to be nonstop.
He could sense her confusion running through her head. He smiled to himself, knowing what would happen after the confusion. "You'll be mine, all mine." he thought to himself. All other thoughts meant nothing to him now.
Her head ached. She had no control over anything anymore and it was getting to her. Her legs felt like rubber and her arms remained limp at her sides. His kiss made her weak, causing her legs to give in. She felt an arm grab her from behind. She didn't care if it was him. She needed support and she needed it now. She gave him a small smile as he gently placed her on the bed.
He went back to where they were, picking up the dropped emerald. It glowed more with each step he took toward her.
She started to feel her energy coming back instantly. Her mind slowly came back, piece by piece. It felt different. She had control, but not complete control. Knuckles was forgotten and all she wanted right now was Shadow. It didn't feel right, but her mind had other opinions.
She gained the ability to sit up on her own. She spoke loosely; not realizing what came out of her mouth. "I, I love you, Shadow. I want you, I need you, I can't live without you."
He barely jumped at those words as he sat next to her. A smirk played with his lips. "I knew you would see things my way, Dark Angel."
She was grabbed by the waist, now inches from Shadow's lips. She liked the sudden force and it didn't scare her a bit. She now knew what she wanted.
"You're mine, all mine, Dark Angel. I've wanted to show you something for so long. It killed me to see you with that echidna. I never backed down. I found my love jewel, belonging to you and I. Forever, you're mine."
He softly kissed her, slowly picking up the intensity. The power of the jewel made his addiction to Rouge even more powerful than it already was. His emotions were in his hands while his heart beat next to hers. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.
It felt good to give in to her secret desire. She lay still for a moment, not believing this was happening before her eyes. Then his tongue touched a special spot, which sparked her own to fill his mouth.
They both exchanged their feelings for a few minutes before Shadow broke the kiss. He just then realized how much he needed her body. His eyes trailed up and down her figure. Just looking at her made him go crazy. Many thoughts and images filled his mind at once.
She started getting used to the black and red figure next to her. He was all she could see right now. Everything else was just background-the darkness, the candlelight, the bed, and the sheets.
She looked at the white fur on his upper middle chest, matching the color of hers. She extended a hand and began to caress it.
This was his first time, so Shadow didn't know what to expect. His eyes widened at the sudden attention, but relaxed at her touch. Her fingers trailed to a sensitive spot and he purred with delight. Her fingers moved back and forth throughout the spot, which excited him even more.
Before she could move her hand again, his hand stopped her. It slowly pulled away the glove on her hand. He kissed it softly before sinking his fangs slightly into a finger.
She saw a little red emerge from her finger, but it didn't phase her. It instantly disappeared as her finger was slipped into his mouth. She giggled a little at this action.
He wasn't very fond of tasting blood on a serious tip. He just did whatever he could to take the pain away, if there was any. The taste took him to new heights as he released her finger. He licked his lips and continued.
His face explored between her top, ripping it off with his teeth. He replaced his teeth with his tongue, leaving none of her exposed fur dry. She tasted sweeter than he ever imagined.
She was pleased more and more with his movements. The giggling slowly turned into soft moaning as he toured the forbidden. It got louder and louder as he went to certain places.
The moaning gave him more opportunities to try new things. Soon enough, there was nothing covering her but the sheets and he. His hot body lay on top of hers.
The extra warmth caused her to break out in sweat and her beating heart to pump faster. She could feel his throbbing against her, and she slowly let him in.
The sudden change in position scared him, but he got used to the territory. He continued on his journey to keep her forever.
Her screaming penetrated the walls as he did the same to her. Their breaths were short, followed by a low moan from each of them.
Minutes passed and he remained in his spot. By then, Rouge was hanging by a string to stay awake.
He gave a smirk as he fell asleep, remaining in his spot. He dreamed the greatest dreams and lived through the best one.
