Chapter 4: Burn

I stared. It was hard for him to admit, I could tell. It was for most Saiyans.

Tears began rolling down our cheeks. "Nightcall, it hurts, being in love with you. And then you got mated to Kakarott, and now it hurts worse. I don't know what happened. I just want you so bad."

Vegeta took a step forward and brushed his lips over mine. When I didn't resist, he pressed our lips together, grabbing the back of my head and bringing my face close to his.

I fell back onto the bed, pulling him with me. Our clothes were gone in seconds.

I gasped as he thrust into me. He looked concerned as he kissed me again. "Are you okay?" He asked.

I nodded. "Just move."

He obliged and began thrusting his hips forward. I moaned in pleasure, noticing that this felt very wrong, like I was cheating. And I was.

"Kakarott…" I muttered afterward, while Vegeta slept, his arm hooked around my waist.

Fresh, warm tears filled my eyes as I thought about my mate. About how much I yearned for his strong arms to hold me. About how much I loved him.

Vegeta stirred, wrapping his tail around my thigh, possessively. I sighed and rolled over, placing my head on his chest.

My thoughts were plagued with Kakarott and everything we'd been through together. Like when we were younger, and he'd used to ruffle my tail fur just to make me mad, even though I loved it.

The shadows seemed to shift and suddenly a figure was standing there, hidden by darkness. I could feel his eyes on the bed where Vegeta and I lay.

I tentatively got out of the bed, unwrapping Vegeta's tail and arm from around me. Walking towards the figure, I picked up a familiar smell.

Reaching the person, I looked at the wild hair and deep, soulful eyes, recognizing them immediately. I hugged him. "I missed you, Kakarott.

He hugged me back. "And I you, Nightcall."

"How did you get in here? I didn't hear the door open." He smiled. "Instant Transmission. It's a really cool trick. I learned it on the last planet I was sent to purge."

I smiled back and leaned up to kiss him. We broke away as a knock sounded at the door.

I ran over and opened it, to see Princess Kira. She smiled at me. "Hi, Nightcall. I felt a strange ki in here. Is someone else in there with you?"

I glanced at Kakarott and decided it would be okay to tell her. I nodded. "Come in."

She stepped inside and spotted Kakarott instantly. She smiled flirtatiously. "Hello, Kakarott."

Walking up to him, she kissed his cheek. I growled. Kira looked at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say something? You have no right to be protective of the man you left. You're Vegeta's now. Just leave me and my baby Kakarott alone."

"Your…baby! What the fuck are you talking about? What is she talking about Kakarott?" My eyes bored into his, pleading for an answer.

He looked away from me. "Nightcall, this is hard to tell you, but when Vegeta came to 'meet my parents', it was planned. If he could get you away from me, then he would get to mate you and I would go back to my previous life. My life with Kira. She's right, you are Vegeta's now. I'm sorry I used you like that. It's just…I love you so much but I love Kira too. Please, just go with Vegeta, don't get yourself killed."

I gapped. "You…bastard! I hate you! You are a motherfucker! You…you…broke my fuckin' heart just now, you know? Go make love to your princess. I'll be just fine with the prince." I turned away from them, crying.

I could feel him reach for me, but Kira stopped him. "Come on, Kakarott. You promised. Now it's time you paid for your mistake."

She pulled him out of the room. He was watching me the entire time, watching my body shake with sobs. I knew he wanted to comfort me, but his promise to Kira prevented his from fighting back against the princess.

The door snapped closed. I heard Vegeta shift in his sleep, but continued crying.

A warm arm wrapped around my shoulders. I looked up and saw a blurry vision of Vegeta. My sobs grew harder as I was pulled into his chest.

"Shh, it's okay, Nightcall. I know. Just cry it out. I'm here for you."

"Why? Why would Kakarott do that to me? I thought he loved me!"

Vegeta sighed and rubbed my back. "He does. Kira wouldn't let him go. So he presented a plan. This plan. He never thought you'd go with me. He loves you more than anything. But now that Kira has him, you'll have to deal with me, because she'll never let him go. She's wants him to fuck her and that's all. She doesn't love him or anything. She's just using him. I feel sorry for the poor man. Come on, let's go to bed."

I followed him into the bed and curled up into a little ball. He held me as close as he could, trying to comfort me.

I relaxed and fell asleep in his arms.

Reveiw and I'll update. Any ideas? Please send them to me.
