Author's Note: First I would like to thank Shadow Dreamer 27, Fabi Washu, and LiTOSWTAZN for their kind reviews. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know what you think!

I have a second chapter ready today and it is planned to be the last one. If inspiration strikes me just right, I might write more. I do have other Roy/Riza fics that I plan to post. But we shall see how it goes and how the reviews turn out. So PLEASE take the time to post a review if you take the time to read my story.

Thanks for reading and please enjoy!

Riza awoke with a slight pain in her neck. She tried to shift to a more comfortable position to no avail. She couldn't move. She found herself tightly locked away in the strong arms of her superior officer.

'This can't be alright' She reprimanded herself as she came back to her senses. "Roy." She gently shook his sleeping form. It was now 1 AM and she really needed to get home.

"Mmm." The soft mumble came from the now moving Colonel. "What's that?" He seemed quite groggy.

"It's time to go to bed." She said sweetly as if talking to a child. She urged him off the sofa with herself as a sturdy support. "Come on." She coaxed as she led him over to his bed.

She managed to get him into the bed while still half asleep and she was convinced he wouldn't notice if she was gone. She was wrong.

Turning to leave, something caught her sleeve. The strong tug stopped her in her tracks as she swung around to see his eyes gazing at her in the darkened room. "I thought you were going to stay with me?"

"You were asleep so I didn't think you would need me anymore." Was the straightforward answer she gave.

"I always need you." Wasn't it obvious to her, he couldn't help but think.

Once again she sighed. "Alright, but you will need to move over." A smile graced his face as his fears that she would want the sofa were lifted.

So fully clothed, she climbed into his bed. The bed of her superior officer. This just kept going from "looks bad" to "looks worse" she couldn't help but think.

She turned with her back to him and he ran his arm around her waist. She could feel his whole body pressed up against her and it was like heaven. Pure heaven and she no longer wanted this night to end.

However she never would have thought she would allow what happened next. After dozing on and off for only a few minutes she absentmindedly rolled onto her side. His grasp on her had lessened in his sleep making it quite possible. Now face to face and both slightly conscious Roy moved in on her lips for the second time that night. It was sweet bliss. She could feel so much emotion. Although she could feel his pain and sadness once again it was diluted by a feeling of warmth and hope. The warmth he got from her.

Their passionate kisses continued until she next realized that they were now completely unclothed and well on their way to unspeakable acts. Her reasoning kicked in, again. But what could she possibly do? She could feel his need for her. She didn't want to deny him. Like an angel of mercy she wanted to take all his pain away, even if only for those moments in time. So she let it happen.

If their earlier kiss had been pure bliss then this was beyond anything that could ever be described. Her emotional connection to Roy and his to her only grew stronger. She felt the raw pain in his soul and she almost broke down and cried. So much pain and heartache it was unbearable. But beyond that was his release of this pain as he shared it with her. Mixed with their passion the pain dissipated as the moment moved on.

Exhausted they moved into a mutual embrace and buried themselves under the warm covers. Hiding their now moist bodies from the cool of the moonlight room. It didn't take sleep long to invade their senses.

And that was how it all happened. As the pieces of the puzzle came back into her memory she was almost horrified. She feared at what this would do to their relation as superior and subordinate. She feared even more what would happen to them if someone found out. Surely they would reassign her for breaking an unspoken taboo.

She couldn't live with that. More than it hurt not being with him so intimately, like they had just been. It would hurt beyond anything if she were reassigned and could no longer serve under him.

Maybe it would be all right, she started to think. Maybe no one will know, even the Colonel. 'If I leave now, then maybe he will think it was all a dream…'
