Chapter 7: To Err is Human
Argilla and Heat had just finished their first lunch within the bunker. It wasn't so bad…It was just boring.
Heat looked at her as she cleared the table, taking with her the dishes. He just sat there, unable to move. It wasn't because that their lunch had been too heavy; on the contrary.
It was just simple food really; protein and calcium-concentrated rations…
He wanted to blanch at that. Yuck.
He preferred junk-food any day. A moment later, Argilla returned to take away the other dishes. She leaned down, letting him see her cleavage, to which he turned his gaze away. It wasn't that he found it repulsive; it was far from it.
He just felt totally awkward. She may be one of the most physically attractive women that he had ever seen, but…she was his friend. She was his close friend which made her…unofficially off-limits to his sexual-manipulation powers.
It was then that a thought floated within his head. He immediately looked at her and saw her staring back at him with a curious expression, "Something wrong?"
He shook his head, "No."
"Then?" she prodded.
Heat stared at her calmly still, "We need to talk."
Argilla arched an eyebrow, "What about?"
"About last night."
Oh boy. This was going to get tricky. Argilla's heart quickened its pace but nonetheless, she forced herself to remain stoic.
"Alright. What about last night?" she asked; her pink eyes dull, her whole countenance uninterested and bored.
Heat's face hardened; how was he to say this? How was he to ask? He was never the type to be good with words…
'Bah! Just ask damn it!'
So he did. In the only way that he knew how.
"Did I have sex with you the other night?" he asked uncouthly, his eyes piercing hers intently while his face was as cold and statuesque as hers.
She wanted to burst out laughing right there. He really was unrefined wasn't he? But still he asked her a very pertinent question; laughing was not only inappropriate, but it would also be folly in her part.
"No." she calmly responded, "Is that all?"
He looked unconvinced as his eyes gazed at her skeptically, "What happened?"
Argilla sighed, "Nothing happened Heat."
Heat frowned, "I want to know how I got there."
Argilla looked at him with pure astonishment etched onto her features, "You remember nothing?"
Heat rolled his eyes and glared, "If I did, woman, would I be asking you?" he hissed.
Argilla snorted at his lack of finesse, 'That's why he'll never be like Serph!'
"You came to me totally drunk. Then, you passed out. I couldn't let you go back to your room, totally wasted. I mean, people would see us and then, we could get into more shit than this!" she sneered at him, crossing her arms.
Heat said nothing; was that all?
He forced his mind to focus and there, he saw bits and pieces of it.
"Well…uh…I dunno…I just felt like it maybe?"
That had been him; slurring his words. Yup. She was right; he had come to her.
But, was she sure that that was all?
"That's it?" he asked again.
Argilla rolled her eyes, "Yes that's it Heat! Damn it! What's the problem?" she sneered, "Hoping that there had been more action?"
He stood, his palms on the table, and leaned closer to her, "There could be more action now…"
He didn't know where that came from…! The words just flew out of his mouth. Now, more than ever, he felt comfortable with the knowledge of him lusting after her.
He wasn't blind to her body language either. There was a small part of her that found him attractive. That; he was sure of.
Besides, there was no harm in just playing right? They were just words anyway…
Right?
She snorted, "No thanks. You'll put me to sleep. Now, if you'll excuse me, I do not wish to shirk on my duties." she drawled.
Heat laughed and there, he watched her walk away from him, the rest of the dishes in her hands.
She was right though; they were still on duty. And then, there was Serph; he did say that he would check on Argilla and him. Being that the case, he had not better shirk off himself.

This was the first night that they had within the bunker…Argilla smiled; it really wasn't that horrible. The place was big enough…It had all the facilities that they would need.
All they had to do was guard the place and do maintenance work on the equipment and the stored weapons and that'll be that.
This depot wasn't generally known to be the popular one though. Because it was located several miles south of Muladhara, facing the vast desert, it wasn't the popular bunker to the cadets or to the well-seasoned soldiers either.
Over time, it became a place that one considered to be more of a punishment rather than for active duty. It wasn't popular to the other tribes either.
In their whole history, this depot had never been breached; it had never been attacked and had never caught sight of enemies.
It was just a place to fall back on when things got ugly.
But still, it wasn't so bad, in Argilla's opinion. It was quiet; no one would bug them there. It was more like a vacation really.
She snorted as she sat on the chair comfortably, crossing her legs, "I dunno what Serph was thinking…sending us to a place like this."
"He's your dad. You should know better than anyone." a male voice said from behind her.
Argilla snapped her head towards his direction and glared, "He's not my dad!" she hissed, making a face.
Heat walked over to her and sat on a chair in front of her, "Well, he sure does act like it."
Argilla's nostrils flared as her pink eyes blazed, "He does not…! I…"
Heat's heart raced; he wanted to know what she was going to say next. He wanted to know what words would pass through her lips about their leader. She would most probably say that she loved him…
What he didn't expect was what she said next…
"Oh no you don't Heat. I want to know why you were drunk the other night when you barged into my room!"
That was right. That morning, Heat had come to her, asking her what had transpired between the two of them the previous night. She, of course, had been honest and told him the highlights of the story.
She sweat-dropped at that; well, as honest as she could afford to anyway.
Besides, it wasn't just for her convenience and peace of mind that she didn't tell him everything. It was for his sake too. There were just some things that he was better off not knowing. It would make his already complicated life even more complicated if she told him.
But, going back again, Heat had not told her anything. He did not share his side of the story.
So, she figured, he owed her.
Heat smirked, "Why should I tell you?"
Argilla gritted her teeth, "Because it was my room that you barged into! I have a right to know!"
Heat's smirk widened, "Sure; but it's my story and I get to choose whoever I would want to tell. And right now honey, I don't think you make the cut." he told her snidely, his red eyes mocking her.
"Why you ungrateful-"
"But…" he said sharply, interrupting her profanity race, "I might tell you. For a price."
Argilla crossed her arms, "Oh no. I won't play your games."
Heat laughed, "Why? Because you got burnt the last time you did?"
Argilla's face burned as she remembered his kiss. She looked intently within his eyes and there, she saw that he was completely unbothered by that awkward event and was using her awkwardness to win.
'Well, two can play at that game!' she seethed internally.
Heat watched her eyes; she was planning something. But still, he would keep his cool. So, he leaned back on the chair and crossed his arms, waiting for her to make the first move.
He watched her with half lidded eyes as she rose from the chair, her eyes never meeting his. He arched an eyebrow as she began to walk towards him.
Argilla slowly walked towards him and there, she stopped right in front of him, in between his parted legs. She regarded him coolly and saw that he was still unbothered; his red eyes silently daring her to do her worst.
Oh she was planning to do just that…
Ever so slowly, she closed the small gap in between their bodies and there, she suddenly straddled him, her creamy legs on either side on his waist, encasing him protectively…She leaned in closer to him as she rested her arms on his chest, her hands caressing his face.
Heat's blood rushed furiously within his veins as he considered their positions. She was trying to seduce him. His head felt lightheaded as she gazed at him deeply, her pink eyes hypnotizing him.
She leaned in closer to him bringing their faces so achingly close…yet not close enough…
He could feel her minty breath tickle his face but he did nothing; his hands remained by his sides, never touching her skin…For if they did…for if they had a touch of her smooth skin…he feared that he wouldn't be able to stop…
She looked at him seductively…and then, she slowly leaned in, closer…ever so slowly, letting her lips hover just above his own…She could feel him twitch in excitement beneath her and she grinned evilly.
'Men are all the same…They're after only one thing…' she thought with utter most condescendence.
She parted her lips, letting her breath touch his already parted lips.
"Heat…" she breathed out, whispering.
A moment later…she leaned even closer…and there, their lips met. Cupping his face in her hands, she kissed him passionately, her tongue gently, yet firmly dancing with his. His lips suckled on hers as his teeth bit her…
She moaned and there, his hands flew to her petite waist…
At that moment…no thoughts of Sera or Serph invaded their minds and hearts…
Heat's hands meandered all over her back…
'Argilla…' he said over and over again within his mind, finally succumbing to his feeling of lust for his comrade…
She tilted her face to the side, as she sucked in what little air she could from their almost nil distance. Argilla could feel herself losing to him as he kissed her just as passionately…She was losing to him; to his subtle seduction.
Alarm bells suddenly went off within her head; this was supposed to be a game. Nothing more. Mustering all of her strength and willpower, she dislodged her lips from his, earning her a confused facial expression from him, "That wasn't fair Argilla." he whispered, grinning as he pulled her back closer to her, his hands on her rear.
Argilla blushed as she felt his hands cup her buttocks. She pulled away, pressing her palms on his chest, "Settle down boy…" she whispered seductively.
At that moment, as they looked within each other's eyes, which were filled with both desire and lust…they both knew…they both realized that their relationship wasn't merely friendship…
Oh no…
Whatever they now felt towards one another had transgressed all conventional definitions of the word "friendship". It was something else…something deeper seethed…something more elusive…
And right now, neither wanted to take the plunge in order to find out…
Grabbing his hands and prying them away from her rear, she got off of him and turned, letting her back face him.
Heat smugly grinned at her, "You owe me for that."
She chuckled and turned around, her lips tugged for a grin of her own, "I should be the one telling you that." she reasoned.
Heat raised an eyebrow and she giggled, "You owe me a bedtime story Heat…" and with that, she began to walk away from him.
He wondered where she was going when she stopped, "It's your turn to take watch. Wake me at 0400 hours."
"Will do."
xxxxx
Argilla knew full well what she had told Heat; to wake her when her time was up. She knew she should be asleep…but for some reason, she couldn't seem to doze off. Her mind ran amuck.
She had been a bit scared…back then, as she kissed him. But she did anyway because she didn't want to appear weak.
But she was dead scared.
She was scared that he wouldn't approve of her conduct and would push her away…Even if it was just a game…
But what surprised her was that not only did he allow her to kiss him…but he actually kissed her back and had insinuated that he had wanted to continue.
However, that wasn't the most frightening thing yet.
She paled as she thought of it.
She hadn't even thought of Serph the whole time…And to make matters worse, she didn't feel bad at what she had done with Heat at all. She had wanted to do that with Heat. She had wanted it, she had done it and she had enjoyed it.
And Serph?
She had forgotten all about him.
And now that she thought of him?
He didn't seem to matter.
That was what got her. He didn't seem to matter.
'What the fuck does that mean!?' she growled to herself; she loved Serph!
Didn't she?
xxxxx
Heat monitored the charts and the readings of the radar and the thermo-sensors with half concentration. Well, it really didn't take a rocket scientist to know that the results within the readings were all negative and normal.
He sighed and sat down, already getting bored.
Argilla had been gone only for almost ten whole minutes and already he missed her company. Or was it something else entirely? He mentally slapped himself as he grinned; yes…there was a part of him that was hoping that whatever erotic episode that they had just shared would've actually blossomed into the actual act of consummation.
But there was no such luck.
He chuckled; that was what he liked about Argilla.
She was very cunning when she chooses to be. She used his apparent weakness against him and exploited it, giving him a mere taste but never the entire amount.
That was why he said that she was an oxymoron.
At times, she could be totally childish, giving attention only to trivial things…
'Like that damn rainbow.' he thought, chuckling.
But at other times, she was as beautiful as she was deadly…She was as much of a child as an adult was. She was innocent yet experienced. She was ignorant yet learned…
That was what fascinated him about her.
He stiffened suddenly as he saw a flash of her smiling face within his mind. He blinked and all that time…he hadn't even thought of Sera. His face remained calm as he thought about it.
Even at that point…all that he could think of was Argilla…
He wanted to know everything about her.
But most of all, he was adamant to know what she thought of him. That, and her feelings towards him…in comparison to their silver-haired leader.
His body ached at that thought; as he remembered their leader. Yes; he was the one that kept her heart imprisoned…
Heat then wondered…Would he be able to free her from Serph?
Feeling his curiosity about his pink-haired friend and comrade grow, he had set the shutters for the bunker closed and set the alarm systems on automatic. Right now, he really couldn't care any less about Serph and his orders.
He had a different agenda from all that.
So, he stood, and walked away and started to walk towards the room where she slept…all thoughts of Sera long lost.
xxxxx
Argilla lay there, awake and more alert than ever as she felt someone enter the room. She already knew who it was. She was lying on her side, facing the wall while the intruder stood behind her, by the door.
She could feel herself beginning to heat up in anticipation.
What was he doing there?
Wasn't he supposed to be monitoring the results from the scans? Heck, wasn't he supposed to be keeping watch?
But be that as it may, she forced herself to relax and close her eyes…Maybe he would just go away. She really didn't need him at the moment. Her previous thoughts of him had thrown her emotions within the dark abyss of a vortex…
Right now…she really didn't know what to think about him; she didn't know what to feel about him either…
Heat walked over to where Argilla slept with the grace of any given feline and there, he loomed over her, watching her intently. He smirked as he saw that she wasn't asleep.
He raised an eyebrow; she wasn't asleep. She was pretending to be. Although her breathing was slow and steady, her body looked stiff…and numb.
Slowly, he sat by her bedside…She didn't know that he knew she was awake anyway…So…he grinned. He would just have to provoke her, now wouldn't he?
He slowly removed his gloves and then let his hand travel to the blanket's edge on her shoulders and slowly slipped it down. Argilla's hair stood on one end as she felt the blanket being pulled down…exposing her…
She repressed the strong urge to turn around and slap him; for if she did, he'd know that she was pretending to sleep.
Heat smirked as he saw her. She was just wearing her gray corset and her long skirt without the jacket and her shoes…
From where he sat, he saw her back and he felt a jolt of electricity pass through his like an angry gust of wind. Her skin was so soft and at that moment, he wondered what the rest of her looked like without her uniform…
Seeing the zipper of her corset in front of him, his hand ached to touch it and pull it down…He stopped to think for a moment though; would she get mad at him for doing this? Probably not…She was the one who kissed him in the first place! It wasn't his fault that he felt deprived at what she had done!
Besides, it was time that she learnt to take responsibility for her actions!
So, having his confidence bolstered, he reached her zipper and took hold of it before sliding it down, making that slow noise…He smirked again as he felt her stiffen. When he was done, he let the corset split apart revealing to him the clasp of her black bra. He could feel himself beginning to sweat…
He wondered what she would do then if he unclasped her bra.
Would she finally retaliate?
Well…there was only one way to find out.
Argilla's heart quickened its pace; what the hell was Heat doing? Why was he doing this? If he was thinking about the little game that she played with him earlier, didn't he think that stripping her was taking it a step too far?
She silently gritted her teeth as she fought with all of her willpower to stay perfectly still. She waited for him…the moment his hand touched her skin, she would definitely kill him.
'If you touch my back…! I swear I'll castrate you…!' she promised internally.
She was still giving him the chance to back away now…
Heat reached for her bra…and there, he unclasped it. He heard the snapping noise and repressed a chuckle. But he wasn't done yet…He would make sure that it was she this time who would be begging for more…
His hand made its way to her parted corset and there, as fast as lightning slipped within, traveling to her chest and gently caressed her breast. She gasped as he massaged it; damn.
She couldn't move…much less turn and kill him.
Heat chuckled again and pressed himself against her and whispered into her ear, "Stop pretending to be asleep…"
She growled and slipped her hands within her corset, to pry his hand from her chest. Heat raised an eyebrow and tightened his grip on her breast which caused her to yelp, "Heat…! Let go!!"
"Or what?" he whispered seductively.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing!?" she yelled.
No longer being able to hold himself back, he let his lips kiss the skin of her neck. His tongue licked her smooth skin while his lips suckled on the smooth flesh…
"Oh…" she moaned, "Heat…"
He was right.
He suddenly let her go and sat up. Argilla pressed her corset to her chest as she too sat up, glaring at him, "What the hell was that for?!"
"A test."
"A test?!" she hissed, "What on earth for?!"
He looked at her seriously and cupped her face in his, "I want you…"
She swatted his hands away, "What the hell are you talking about?!"
He pulled her closer to him and leaned in, "I want you. You want me. What's the problem?"
Argilla let her blood rush to her face, "Heat…I don't want you."
Heat smirked and suddenly kissed her. Argilla's eyes widened at his sudden unexpected action and tried to push him off, but was unable to as he gripped her head and her waist tightly. Now, there was no more feeling of aloofness within Heat's mind.
There was no longer any thought of regret…
This was what he wanted to do; it was true. He did want her. And she wanted him; he was just going to have to make her realize that.
His lips flicked hers persuasively, his tongue trailing itself along her lips. Soon…her resistance crumbled and she shyly and slowly parted her lips. His hand pulled her closer and tighter against him as he kissed her fully…
He explored her cavern thoroughly…taking his strokes with her slow but passionate…Soon, he found her tongue and there, coaxed her to join him in his dance; she concurred.
A moment later, he pulled back and stared at her face. Her lips were still slightly parted, her eyes still closed…
He smirked again and caressed her face. He drew his face close to hers and whispered into her ear, "See? You do want me…"
He pulled back and saw that her pink eyes were now open. A moment later, she glared at him, "It doesn't change anything Heat…"
He looked at her intently, "Of course it changes everything Argilla…"
"I need you and you need me…"
She knew what it was he was insinuating…Becoming friends with benefits…
She turned away from him, saying nothing.
Heat touched her chin and turned her face to meet his, "It could work."
She frowned at him, "Heat…you're my friend…and my comrade…"
"And you are mine…" Heat replied, his eyes piercing hers.
"So then…if we do this…then…what about our friendship? Everything that we've done together…?" she asked, scared.
He knew what she was speaking of. There was a good chance that their friendship would lose its innocence…There was even the greater risk that this chance of having a sexual relationship would even tear them apart…
No longer friends…nothing more than a cold and unfeeling pair of people using one another for sexual gratification. She didn't want that…and as sure as day, Heat didn't want that either…Oh no. Nothing could be further from the truth…
It was just that…it was the only thing that he could think of to ease his heart…He knew that his feelings for his pink-haired comrade had steadily began to change over the previous months…But it wasn't until a few days ago that he had realized that he wanted her sexually; that he was physically attracted to her.
The best part was that he realized that she felt the same thing towards him. They both wanted each other. And the way he saw it, their friendship need not be affected by what they were about to do anyway. Like their professional careers as soldiers, they needed to keep it separate from their personal lives of being friends…
Thus, by that logic, being sexual partners would merely be another slot for them to categorize within their lives. Now, should they decide to do so, they would have their career, their friendship and their sex lives separate.
That was all there was to it.
Heat pressed his forehead to hers, closing his eyes, "Nothing has to change…I promise you…"
She sighed, "I don't know Heat…This is risky…"
He pulled back and pecked her on the lips, "No it's not…Argilla, I see it in your eyes everyday. I know you want me. What's the problem? You're not with anyone…and I'm not with anyone either."
"But what about Serph and Sera?"
He growled, "This has nothing to do with them Argilla. It's just between you and me."
She shook her head as she closed her eyes; she couldn't believe what Heat was asking of her. She couldn't believe that she was actually thinking of considering it! It was so different from the way Serph had raised her…
She stiffened at that thought.
Serph…had raised her to be proper…prim…and perfect.
"But Serph-"
"When are you going to make decisions by yourself Argilla?" he asked, glaring at her, "You're a grown woman. You're no longer a child that needs a guiding hand Argilla. You're old enough; and right now, I know you want to do this with me…"
He leaned in again, "So…do it…" he said seductively, luring her within his trap.
Argilla gulped; this was it. She was standing upon a cliff…Another step forward would mean that she would fall…and when she did, there was no turning back. Heat's voice was seducing her…telling her to take the plunge…
To jump…
To discover…
To brave the unknown with him…
Seeing the indecision within her eyes, he caressed her face affectionately and she looked at him. He stared back at her, letting her see the plain unadulterated longing within his red orbs.
She blinked, blushing…
Heat smirked lightly before kissing her again…
At that moment, she kissed him back…pulling him to come to her. Heat was glad; she had made her decision. She had taken the plunge…She wanted him.
Receiving her go signal, he grabbed her face and pulled her closer to him…Soon, their gentle kiss turned into some more fierce…something more heated…
Each of them struggled for dominance, for power. They each wanted to win…Heat pushed her farther until she fell on her back. She whimpered as she hit the mattress, letting her concentration on the kiss become momentarily complacent, unwittingly giving him the keys to success…
His hand immediately went for her already pulled down corset and grabbed it, flinging it over behind him, not caring where it landed…Next, he felt for her unclasped bra and there, let his hands travel to her shoulders where the straps were.
His lips, in order to give her already bruised luscious lips a moment's rest, traveled from her lips and latched themselves onto her neck, nipping and suckling on the smooth skin urgently, like a rabid dog…
His fingers touched the straps and slid them down non-too-gently and she yelped as she felt her bra get stuck within her arms. Feeling the persistent garment get stuck and hearing his partner yelp, Heat growled and in one fluid stroke, tore it from her altogether.
He pulled back from her neck in order to look at her. He sat up and looked at her chest appreciatively, letting his eyes glaze lustfully across her feminine features…Argilla sucked in the cool air heavily as she saw him stare at her body with hungry eyes.
Blood rushed to her cheeks and she immediately crossed her arms on her chest, preventing him from looking further. He blinked and looked at her, confusion clearly seen in his face and eyes, "What's wrong…?"
She snorted, "You are what's wrong. You're staring at me…" she said within feigned anger, turning her face away.
He chuckled, "You shy?"
Well, it was an honest question. He really wanted to know. With the way Argilla kissed him, he would've said that she really did do her homework when it came to intimacy. It felt like she had experience; so, why would she be shy?
She blushed harder at hearing his question and just huffed; annoyed.
He touched her chin and made her turn back to look at him, "Hey, you don't have to be shy around me. It's just me." he said reassuringly.
She swallowed a lump within her throat but said nothing. Heat's eyes never left hers and his hands meandered over to her protective hands over her chest and slowly pried them away…Argilla stiffened and held her position.
She didn't want to expose herself to him.
Heat sighed, "Alright."
His hands left her arms. Argilla raised an eyebrow. Heat reached for his cloak and there, removed it from his body. Argilla blushed again…but still felt nothing but burning curiosity. He was going to strip himself?
She didn't want to appear as a hypocrite so she said nothing. She had never really seen a naked man before…Serph had seen to that. And well, even if what she was doing with Heat right now was going against every invisible rule that Serph had laid down for her, she found herself all the more pulled within that direction…In order to really see…
She wanted to know what he looked like without his uniform…
And right now, she couldn't care any less about Serph's rules…
Argilla's eyes widened as he stood from the bed, in front of her, completely bare.
Heat smirked, "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"
Argilla bit her tongue, stopping herself from shouting. She had never seen him…or any other man for that matter, to be this naked…Sure, she saw bare torsos…but never completely nude bodies…like his…
Heat grinned and got on the bed again, straddling her, "So, there's no more need to be shy Argilla…" he said, letting her name roll off his tongue like velvet…
Being entranced by his eyes she let him disarm herself and a moment later, his lips were on her breast, suckling urgently…Heat could feel his manhood stiffen as she moaned and whimpered as he continued to devour her breast…
His hand traveled down south and there, he reached her skirt…Fumbling for the buttons and zippers, he soon unclothed her completely. Now; they were even.
He chuckled within his throat though; he had never imagined that his partner had a body like this…She was a goddess…She was perfect and flawless in every way. His hands now made their way towards her womanhood. She stiffened as she felt Heat's fingers by her entrance and she whimpered, "Heat…"
Heat left her breasts and returned to her neck where he suddenly bit her, his teeth on the soft skin, tearing it…causing it to bleed while his fingers immediately set work on her womanhood, plunging within her wet folds.
Argilla yelped as she simultaneously felt him bite her and insert his fingers within her…She hadn't told him…She hadn't told him yet…
But now, as her feeling of displeasure because of his long and slender fingers within her, she couldn't speak. She gritted her teeth as she felt uncomfortable.
Heat's fingers moved back and forth within her core…She was tight and wet…He pulled out of her as he felt her convulse in pleasure. She had reached her oblivion. He grinned; now she was good and ready for him…
Argilla panted; that was the most exhilarating feeling that she had thus far encountered. Not long after his fingers invaded her sacred area did she begin to feel the onset of pleasure…and then…there was only ecstasy within his arms…
She didn't even notice time fly as she suddenly found herself coming…
Heat got off her and sat right in front of her inner lips, inspecting it. Argilla raised her head and saw that he was looking within her womanhood intently, "What…what are you-?"
She threw her head back again and cried out as she felt his tongue flicking her inner lips playfully. She felt as though she was going to fall as nothing made sense; her sense of direction completely disabled. She could not distinguish from left to right, from up to down…
All she knew was the crazy feeling that she was getting as Heat continued to kiss and suckle her womanhood. She clutched the sheets around her tightly as she whimpered uncontrollably…She gritted her teeth as hard as she could as Heat's tongue stroked her clitoris teasingly…painfully…pleasurably…
She was burning up…Again, it was a race…She wanted to reach nirvana…She wanted to be free from his torture…
And then, her mind suddenly reached clarity. She stiffened and then relaxed, letting her essence flow freely out of her. Her heart raced though as she felt Heat still suckling her…
Heat chuckled as she again convulsed; he was rewarded though, again, as her essence easily flowed out of her. Not wanting to waste such nectar, his tongue and lips found themselves on her inner lips once more, sucking her nectar and swallowing it…
Heat raised his head and threw his head back as he felt her taste overwhelm him. She tasted so sweet…It was a unique taste…The one taste that was reserved only for her. As he drank her, it was the time that he could actually say that he had a taste of Argilla…
'My Argilla…' he thought blissfully.
But alas…he had not fulfilled his dream yet. He wordlessly got off her and stood. Argilla looked at him with dreamy pink eyes, "W-where are you going?" she asked, weary.
Heat grinned, "Nowhere ma'am."
She was about to ask him further when he suddenly grabbed her hips, dragged her to the edge of the bed and turned her around. She felt his weight sink on the bed and there, from behind her, he grabbed her shoulders, lifting her off the ground, "On your elbows…" he seductively said, licking her earlobe.
She did as she was told and leaned her head lower, towards the bed, supporting her weight with her elbows. Next, he grabbed her by her hips, "On your knees…"
She did as she was told; consequently, her hips pointed upwards, exposing all of her private areas to him all the more.
"Good." he said. She felt the bed lighten and realized that he got off the bed again. She blinked; where was he going this time?
Heat looked at her as he stood behind her. His manhood throbbed painfully at the sight of her…Her…on her elbows and knees, her hips thrust upwards…letting him see her firm and round rear…
He smirked.
Then, he grabbed her buttocks and without warning, he thrust within her, up to the hilt.
"Heat…!!!" she screamed as she felt him break her barrier.
Heat, lost in the tight feeling of her, could only faintly register the fact that he had torn her in two and quickly moved within her expertly.
Argilla felt a tear roll down her cheek as she felt herself bleeding; that was what she forgot to tell Heat…She hadn't any experience…
'Can't…stop now!!' he shouted within himself as he continued to thrust wildly within her…
Argilla, feeling the initial feel of pain dissipate, now met his cruel yet passionate thrusts with thrusts of her own. She didn't need experience in that…It was pure instinct…
She groaned his name over and over as they continued to dance together, molding their bodies into one…
Heat felt lightheaded; there was nothing to explain what he was feeling at that moment. Argilla…his friend…his comrade…and now, his lover…She felt so incredibly tight around him that he couldn't slow down…He wanted to keep riding her; he wanted to be buried within her for all eternity, feeling only her wet and tight core encasing his engorged member tightly…protectively…passionately…
And now, she only drove him to go faster as her cries, her moans and groans were the only things to penetrate the air around them that had long gone warm and stale…
"Argilla…Argilla…" he groaned over and over as her cries filled his ears.
Heat grabbed her hips harder and thrust within her even faster, slamming in and out of her furiously, up to the hilt as he felt his end coming nearer and nearer still. He could feel his partner nearing her end as well…
The minutes ticked painfully by and now, the inevitable had arrived. He was done for. His end had come…The traitorous friend that accompanied this bliss had arrived; it had arrived to take him over the threshold of this game and into the oblivion of paradise…
"Heat…!!!" she screamed as she reached nirvana…
"Argilla!" he grunted.
They really were a good team together Heat reckoned, as he fell on her completely as she in turn, lost her balance and lay on the bed, totally drained.
He pulled out of her slowly and lay on the bed, beside her, pulling her close. There chests collided and she looked at him wearily. He smiled at her as he removed a stray lock of pink hair from her eyes, "I told you we make a good team."
Suddenly, a thought popped in his head, "Argilla, are you alright?"
She slapped him in the face and grinned, "Isn't it a bit late to be asking me that you bastard?"
He looked at her apologetically, "I just didn't think that…"
She snorted, "That what? That it could've been my first time?"
He looked away; the way she said her words mocked him and made him feel lousy…He had been the one persuading her to be his "partner" when he wasn't the least bit considerate.
"Sorry…" he muttered.
She giggled and grabbed his face, "It's fine."
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her questioningly.
She chuckled, "You were the one saying earlier how Serph acted like a father around me right?" she asked, smirking, "Then knowing that…you shouldn't really be surprised."
The more he thought about, the more it made sense. She was right; but at the same time, it still bothered him quite a bit.
Serph acted like a father to her but nonetheless, she fell in love with him…What about now? Did she still like or love him?
His stomach suddenly tied itself in a knot; what was this feeling?
Argilla saw the look of concern on Heat's face. Thinking that it was about him being inconsiderate in her part, she gently stroked his face and forced him to look at her.
"Don't worry too much about it…" she said, blushing and then proceeded to kiss him instead…
Chuckling, he returned her kiss arduously. The night was still young anyway.
And then, soon, the two had united their bodies once more, the turmoil of unrequited love, all forgotten, hidden within the darkest and deepest corners of their minds.
Argilla's body and mind refused to relinquish their control over to the realm of the subconscious as she continued to lie there, on her side, clutching the blanket tight against her nude body.
Heat had been long asleep and had his strong arms wrapped around her tiny waist, not giving her the chance to move from her position.
She sighed as she felt safe and warm within his arms…
The pleasures that she had shared with him was the most intimate that she had ever experienced…She now wondered why she had never done it before. Well, it was simple really; she had been brought up to know that this sort of intimacy should be reserved for the one she loved…
Reserved only for the man that she would be spending the rest of her life with…
She immediately felt horrible as she realized fully what she had done…No longer engulfed in the soft light of euphoria, Argilla's mind raced.
What about Serph?
It was really useless to be worrying about it and regretting it…She had already done it. She had crossed the threshold with Heat by her side…
She frowned; 'The man I would be spending the rest of my life with huh…? He doesn't even feel that way about me…Not even close…' she thought sadly.
She stiffened again; why did she just think that? Did that mean that she wanted him to feel towards her feelings other than what he already did?
She couldn't breathe all of a sudden.
Was she…dare say it, falling in love with him?
She heard him suddenly stir and she held her breath; what was he going to say?
"Sera…"
Argilla could feel her heart within her throat; he said it again…He said her name, again. She frowned as an unpleasant feeling began to creep from the bowels of her soul and up to her spine…
And at that moment, she wondered…
'Did I really do the right thing?'
