(written on a rainy, Saturday afternoon.and I was going to go for a walk,
too!)
Xelloss could simply not stand to be around Lina any longer. It seemed if he even glanced her way his heart fluttered. He had set her in her room for the night, casting a number of spells to make sure she was in a comfortable, un-provocative state of mind. Of course, the urge of taking her while she was sleep was strong, and he had to leave. There he stood, outside of her door, claiming he was guarding her for the night. Zelgadis and Gourry hardly made a fuss, but the demon knew he would pay for this later.
His heart began beating fast again, his head spinning and cheeks burning. Again he fell to his knees, cursing his weakness silently. There was no reason he should be affected this much. He was a demon for Gaav's sake, and love and emotions, or even the prospect of committing such humanistic acts was out of the question, and the last thing on any demons to do list.
He heard footsteps descending down the hall, and quickly leapt to his feet, trying to regain his composure. He sighed a little in relief. It was only the girl princess from Seyruun, Amelia Wil Telsa de Seyruun. She eyed him suspiciously, as the others had thoroughly done most of the night. The demon only gave a quick roll of his eyes and huffed turning away from Amelia.
"Mr. Xelloss?" she cooed, leaning over to him, closer, blinking with wide blue eyes. "Something wrong?"
Xelloss growled a little in anger and snapped his head round to stare at her. He quickly managed a half-cocked smile.
"No, why would there be?" He grinned, speaking through a clenched jaw. The girl tried to peer about him, gazing into Lina's room.
"Is there something wrong with Ms. Lina?" she gazed at the demon, lower lip quivering in fear. The demon couldn't help but smile at her.
"Yes, she is deathly ill and will die," he said, in a rather monotonous tone. "Now leave, unless you wish to catch what she has, as well,"
The girl shrieked and tried to claw through the demon, and he simply pushed her backwards away from the door.
"Amelia, calm yourself. She only has a fever and needs some rest. She'll be right as rain by morning!" He cackled. The girl huffed angrily, quickly wiping the tears away from her flushed cheeks.
"You are awful, Mr.Xellos!!" she cried a little and turned quickly running down the hall. The demon watched as she trotted, his eyes remaining on her lower half, swaying back and fourth, hypnotically like a snake. He swallowed hard and bit his lower lip nervously, and kept his gaze downcast to the floor. He placed his hand on the door of Lina's room and slipped in, gazing at the girl. His vision swayed, as he stumbled a little fourth, and almost fell right on top of Lina. His lips hovered only inches from hers, and they simply seemed to find themselves there, letting his tongue slip between her lips. He hovered for a while, and pulled away, the intensity of his feelings reaching their peak. He dropped the staff he held, letting it fall to the wooden floor with a loud clatter. Lina moaned a little from the abrupt sound, and let her eyes flutter open, staring into the face of the physically frustrated demon. A blush spread across her face within seconds of staring at him.
"What happened?" she moaned, as her arms slid around the demons neck, leaning up to catch his lips in another embrace. He pulled away to resist her for a few more seconds, gazing down into her eyes.
"I knocked you out.I didn't want to end up defiling you in some filthy ruins," he said, the words sliding off of his tongue spitefully. She pouted a little, her mind spinning as she watched Xelloss hover above her.
"I thought you loved Gourry, Lina," he mumbled, turning away from her. Lina gasped a little, and lowered her gaze away from him.
"I-I do," she managed to stutter. "But there is something about you, too. And to be honest, it scares me," she sighed and turned away from Xelloss, gazing shamefully at the bed sheets, spilling elegantly over the bed and onto the floor.
Xelloss sighed and smiled weakly at her. "Because of what I am, no doubt,"
Lina sighed a little. "Well yes. . .I have never met a single person like you in your race. You are kind, but cleverly manipulative. . .granted, this is not necessarily a good thing, but. . ." She sighed, as she gazed up at him. He smiled a little at her, and placed his head against her breast, listening to her heart beat rapidly.
"This is going to stay like this until we do something about it," Xelloss sighed gently. "We could stay like this, wishing for one another until our days come to an end," he sighed. They eyed each other. . .wondering if the other was ready for what needed to happen. Xelloss seemed more concerned for Lina than himself. He knew this would hurt the girl, because he knew she wanted the blonde swordsman most of all. It had to happen, then. He couldn't contain himself any longer.
He slipped his hands under her shirt, caressing her gently a moment. She gasped gently, moaning a little, abruptly pressing up against Xelloss. The demon let out a small gasp, and the passion was lit to a point of no turning back. Xelloss worked with his gloves a moment, trying desperately to take them off. He eventually threw them off, flinging them over his shoulder. Lina reached up and clumsily tried to undo the clasp of his cloak. He stared a moment, puzzled at the clasp. Xelloss smiled and reached up to aid her, single handedly removing the clasp, reaching far to his side to set the clasp gently on the nightstand. Lina's outfit was easy. It was nothing but a button up blouse and white slacks. He nearly tore the shirt open, kissing up along her stomach, to his mouth eventually circling about one of her breasts. She gasped and let out a moan, pulling up one of her legs to her chest. He gazed at her, feeling so terrible for what he was going to do. He wished there was a way he could avoid this, but it seemed nothing would help. Lina reached down, slipping her hand into Xelloss' pants, and his min was suddenly a washed with a feeling of complete pleasure. He moaned as she ran her fingernails up his length, and slipped his pants down about his waist. She then slipped her hands under the demons shirt, playing with and teasing the flesh.
"Xelloss, let's get this done, please," she moaned gently. "I can't stand it."
Xelloss nodded. "I won't make you wait any longer.," he smiled at her. "I don't want to hurt you,"
"You won't she nodded, as she pressed up against Xelloss, he pressed back, and the two let out a gently, satisfied moan.
"Please don't hate me," Xelloss managed to choke between gasps of pleasure. "I didn't mean to do this," he sniffed.
"I know, I know!" Lina moaned. "Get on with it!"
Xelloss sighed, and stared at the girl a moment. It hardly seemed like her to be acting like this, and he figured he would be the one who only wanted to get it done. To Xelloss, it felt like something special. For once he was self satisfied and truly happy to be with her, and he didn't want the feeling to go away.
Lina pressed up against him a bit harder, which jostled the demon from his thoughts. He gazed at her, and frowned.
"Don't you humans want this sort of thing to be special?" he cooed, canting his head to the side.
She sighed and pulled his head down to her lips, kissing him passionately as she rubbed against him. He closed his eyes, and guessed she would never feel the same way. He pulled away form the kiss, showering her body with a myriad of gentle kisses. He kissed lower and lower, and Lina let out a moan of pleasure.
"I'm sorry," Xelloss sighed, as the candle that lit the room slowly faded into nothing, leaving the two wrapped together within darkness.
~*~*~*~
Morning came, and Lina rest on top of Xelloss, her limbs tangled with his. Their clothing was strewn carelessly about the room, Xelloss' staff rest against the bed frame. Xelloss smiled at the girl, and moved cautiously from beneath her, so to make sure he didn't wake her. She moaned gently and tossed to her side, but fell easily back into the hands of rest.
The demon sat, slowly and thoughtfully clothing himself, occasionally glancing at the girl. He smiled and laughed at the previous night. The emotions he had once had for her seemed to be nothing but a dim flicker of a dying candle. He closed his eyes, smiling. The effect of the spell seemed so much stronger than he had anticipated it to be. He smiled, and realized he obviously did not even know his own strength.
He stood, slipping the clasp through his cloak, glancing back and smiling gently at the girl. He turned to face her, flipped his wrist, and a glass, violet rose materialized between two of his fingers. He set the rose gently on the pillow, and turned, leaving the room without a second glance.
~*~*~*~
Lina's eye fluttered open, only to find them resting upon a gorgeous glass rose, colored the same violet as Xelloss' eyes. She took the rose gingerly in one hand, examined it in the light, and sighed, pouting a little. She had at least hoped to wake up in his arms. To her, that was better then even the previous night. She huffed, and set the rose in her lap, gazing at it a while.
"Stupid Demon," she muttered, and turned to stare out the window, watching the sun rise slowly over the horizon.
Xelloss could simply not stand to be around Lina any longer. It seemed if he even glanced her way his heart fluttered.
