The Downfall of a Heartless Man

Chapter 8

One dance, that's all she asked for. Just one. If I was aware that "one dance" would last the entire night I might have killed her for her insolence and gotten the hell out of here before the ridiculous charade began. Might have.

Thankfully, as my patience for this ball and its inhabitants wears thin, the music begins to die away and the voice of the woman's father rings over the crowd. " I just want to thank everyone for attending the 2nd Annual Satan City Capsule Corps. Ball! Once again, the turn out has been outstanding and I hope to see you all again next year! This will be our last song for the night so if there is anyone you have want to dance with but haven't had the courage to ask, I suggest you ask them now because this is your last chance!" Cheerful laughter along with steady clapping fills the ball room and I roll my eyes in disgust. What imbeciles.

"Woman, let go of me, I'm leaving." I snap, wrenching my hands from her waist and pulling her arms from around my neck. " Well, fine. I guess I'll leave too then."she says pertly, with a smile. " We can walk to the house together, it's not that far" "I'd rather not." I reply, walking off without her. Of course, I am lying. I would walk to the ends of hell and back for this woman, but she needn't know it. She needn't know how I really feel...how I really long for her...

I walk out of the building and gasp slightly as the cool night air hits my flushed face. Kami, being in the same room with so many sweating, clustered humans for so long was almost too much. Damn, it's too fucking hot! Without another thought I shed my armor and strip down into nothing but my tight spandex shorts. I revel in the feel of the sharp, cold air against my bare, heated skin. I smirk slightly as I hear the faint sounds of the woman's shoes clicking against the hard floor inside the building as she nears the doors. Shaking my head, I push my ki beneath me and lift myself from the ground.

"Vegeta! Vegeta! Veg- Oh there you are." she says as she exits the building and sees me floating above her. "Where are your clothes?" she asks with a hint of laughter. I don't answer her however, but instead begin to drift slowly away. "Wow, you can change moods fast." she states caustically, following after me on her dainty feet. " Did it ever occur to you that everyone doesn't like to talk as much as you do, woman?" "Well how else do you expect me to communicate?" "There are other ways, believe me." I reply, my meaning apparent. When she doesn't give an immediate response, I turn around to make sure she is still there.

The woman walks slowly behind me, her eyes gazing up into the clear night sky; looking as if she is contemplating the meaning of the universe. "Vegeta?" she questions quietly, "what happened?" "What the hell are you talking about?" " Why are you so bitter? What made you hate the world?" she asks looking up at me, her eyes starring into the depths of my black soul. "Why the fuck do you care?" I growl angrily. What is she doing?! No one has ever wanted to know about my past...why I am who I am, why I do what I do.

"I don't know...maybe I can help. The only emotion I have ever seen you show is anger. Keeping the rest in there isn't going to make it go away, Vegeta. It isn't going to make it stop hurting." "What the fuck do you know?!" I ask, reducing my ki and landing on the ground, only inches from her face. "Your whole fucking life, everyone has pampered you, given you exactly what you wanted. You are nothing but a spoiled little brat!! You know nothing of pain, nothing."

Her eyes narrow and her bottom lip pokes out in defiance. "I know nothing of pain?! Is that what you think?! I had to sit by passively and watch day in and day out as you and your men, along with that bastard Freiza, murdered the people I love, knowing there was nothing I could do!! Do you know what it's like to feel so utterly helpless, so utterly useless?!" Tears drip down her face as presses her hand against my chest. Me? I caused her so much pain?

She turns away from me, unable to look me in the face any longer. Unbearable regret and guilt make my throat clench and my body ache. I know how it feels...my entire race...all lost... I want to take her in my arms, tell her I am sorry...if only I could change what I did, change who I am...but I can't. I am a Saiyan Prince, no matter how this woman makes me feel! I am one of the last of our race. It is my responsibility to my people to keep my honor, to keep my pride! I can't show these emotions...I just can't.

"I lost everything woman. You can never understand that."

She turns back to me, compassion in her eyes. But she doesn't say she is sorry... she doesn't offer me pity or empathy, all the things that I so despise.

Instead, she looks into my eyes and brings her hand to my face, caressing me with her soft fingers. She takes my chin in her free hand and pulls my face to hers, much the same as she did earlier today, this time gently.

As her lips meet mine, I lift her into my arms, pressing her warm body as close to mine as possible. Her hands leave my face and her arms wrap around my neck, pulling herself closer as well. I move my lips slowly over hers and coax my tongue into her succulent mouth, causing a soft moan to escape from her. Kami, this woman...I need her...if I have to wait any longer to have her...

Immense desire rages through me and I take the woman into my arms and begin flying to the house, which is only a couple hundred feet from the ballroom. When I reach my balcony, I land softly on the concrete just in front of the window, never letting go of her precious body. I rush inside and lay her gently on the large bed, continuing to ravage her lips with mine.

Straddling her hips, my hands begin to caress her breasts through the thin dress she wears. My lips leave hers to burn a wet trail down her neck and to her ear. I flick my tongue over the lobe then suck it vigorously.

"Woman..." I whisper huskily; my breath comes in pants as my heart races with desire. I begin kissing her again, this time the passion heightened to the nth power. My hands leave her breasts to descend to her long legs and creep up her thighs. When I reach the smooth skin of her hips, the dress becomes too tight for me to move farther. Taking the hem, I pull it over her head leaving her only in her panties, which are soon ripped off, as well as mine.

I press my naked body against hers and my hands go to her full breasts again rubbing them over her pink nipples, making them erect. Kami...her skin is so soft... My mouth leaves hers to suck at her breast, my tongue grazing over the heated orb in a constant rhythm. Her loud moans of pleasure push me over the edge and I leave her breasts to look her full in the face. KAMI...I must have her!

I grind my erection against the apex of her thighs and her eyes fly open, full of desire. "Woman, if you don't want this...you better say so now because if I go any farther..." I warn her, certain that whatever control I have left will be gone. "I want you Vegeta." she whispers back, holding my face in her hands. I growl voraciously and finally, after so many endless moments of wanting and hoping and needing, I make her mine.

~~~~*~~~~*~~~~~

The next morning I awaken to the sound of the woman's steady breathing; her head rests on my bare chest and her arms are flung around my waist. Her luxurious aqua hair spills over my abdomen and my hand easily finds its place there, twisting delicate blue tendrils around each finger. Pure contentment and warmth spread through the frigidly empty parts of me being as she stirs slightly and her naked skin rubs against mine. I could lie here with her forever. Damn the Androids, damn the training. Damn it all!

The memories of the woman's flawless body beneath mine come flooding back, each thought, each emotion just as strong and vibrant as before. I am no novice in the act of lovemaking, but all my years of experiences can never compare to the breathless intensity...the all-encompassing sensuality of what the woman and I shared. When I made love to the women on Vegeta-sei, it meant nothing. There were no emotions besides pleasure, and even that was minimal. But this woman...she surpassed them all in one night, in one moment.

I couldn't hold myself back. Hours and hours, over and over. Each life-shattering climax only made me want her more; having her once wasn't enough. I needed her. I still need her. The only thing keeping me from taking her again is her obvious exhaustion.

Sitting up cautiously (not wanting to disturb the woman's slumber) I peer over at the clock beside my bed. 9:27 a.m.?! How long have I been sleeping?! FUCK! I carefully slide the woman from my stomach and jump from the bed, heading to the shower. Despite what I said earlier, I know that it is my duty to train. I know that I must save the woman, if no one else on this fucking planet, from the Androids. Kami, if anything ever happened to her...

I stop abruptly just before I reach the door leading into the hallway. Turning around, I see the woman still laying there, her small beautiful body curled in the satin black sheets. Suddenly, I am by her side, inhaling her the soft scent of her hair as it tumbles over the pillows. My lips brush the smooth skin of her forehead, just below her hairline. I want to tell her...I want to say...but I can't.

And I never will.

AN: ok so not my best work there. I had a hard time writing the "love scene" and I'm sorry if it really sucked. Its my first time so forgive me. Ü But, I know that sex is a very important part of the Vegeta/ Bulma story and it can't be ignored. No sex= no Trunks. So just bare with me and the next chapter should be up to par! A lot more exciting! Anyways, DON"T FORGET TO REVIEW! THANKS! ~Melissa
