I do not own Legend of Dragoon or any of the characters.
Delayed
Cade grit his teeth, leaning against the wall of the Throne Room in silence. He had taken them more than a weak to get back with him and Miranda both wounded, but when Kongol had been sent crashing into the wall at the beginning of the battle, most of the potions had been broken, and Cade had been given the last when Meru found him. They also had suspected Queen Theresa was in danger, so the hadn't stopped to rest on the entire trip back, so he hadn't been able to focus enough to heal anyone, other than healing Miranda's legs enough for her to run on her own. He could tell she was struggling to keep from collapsing from exhaustion and pain, and he was about ready to drop, too. However, they'd finally made it back, only to find they were too late. Sister Wink, the third Sacred Sister, who had blonde hair in a braid over her left shoulder usually, a black blouse, and a floor-length brown skirt, had met Lloyd in the Evergreen Forest where she'd apparently been going to bring knights to help Miranda and the others against the dragon. However, a Wingly who hated humans, which didn't narrow it down much, attacked them, only for Lloyd to save Wink and kill the Wingly. In a last ditch effort to at least hurt Lloyd, who had been the stronger Wingly, and therefor able to block the other's magic attacks, the Wingly blew himself up. Wink had then brought Lloyd to the castle to be treated. Once there, Lloyd had kidnapped Queen Theresa and left.
"Miranda, where is the last Divine Moon Object!?" Dart asked urgently.
"It's in the Tower of Flanvel to the west of Kashua Glacier," Miranda said.
"Theresa is the key to the tower," Rose surmised.
Miranda nodded to her, then knelt beside Wink. "I'll take care of the rest."
Wink sniffed, wiping her eyes, then nodded and stood.
"We will bring Queen Theresa back!" Dart said. "We are not going to let Lloyd get what he wants!"
"We can't go yet," Rose said, everyone looking at her before she looked between Miranda and Cade. "They're still wounded, and haven't been able to rest since the battle. Your wounds especially, Miranda, will need time to heal. If we can find healing potions, and rest for tonight, you should be able to leave by morning."
"We don't have time for that!" Miranda snapped.
"Then Dart and the others who aren't wounded should go on ahead," Cade said. "Once Miranda and I are healed, we can catch up. It'll take you a few days to reach Flanvel anyway."
Everyone looked around at one another before nodding.
"Fine," Miranda said. "Go, then."
Dart nodded and he and those not wounded, minus Rose, all left. Miranda looked to Rose expectantly, but Rose simply took one of Cade's arms over her shoulders gingerly and helped him support his weight.
"We'll use the inn outside the castle," Rose said. "Wink, would you please tend to Miranda? She needs a healing potion every two hours throughout the night, and to sleep the rest."
Wink nodded but before Rose could leave, Wink caught her arm. "There are still rooms in the palace which are intact. You can stay in one of those."
Rose nodded and Wink led them all through the palace to a small room with a single bed, a chair, and a dresser. Rose thanked her, helping Cade to the bed before giving him a quick kiss. "I'm going to go and get some healing potions for you. Rest here, alright?"
Cade nodded and Rose gave him another kiss, this one lasting a little longer, before turning and walking out of the room. He gingerly pulled his armor off then lay down, letting out a long breath once he was laying down and his injured bones stopped hurting from moving. After about thirty minutes, Rose returned, sitting beside him on the bed. He pushed himself up, sucking in a breath as pain lanced through his side, but managed to get sitting up, accepting the first of two health potions from her, drinking it. Once he had, she handed him the next, which he also drank. His ribs and along his spine began to burn instantly, Cade's hands clamping down on his legs to keep from grabbing his sides. Rose took one of his hands, squeezing it lightly.
"It'll pass," Rose promised. "Just a little longer."
Finally, the pain began to fade and he sighed, feeling his bones finally stop aching for the first time in the last week. He nodded and Rose smiled.
"You'll have to drink one more in the morning, but for now, that's it," Rose said. "I...overstated your injury to the others. Miranda is the only one who really needed to stay here."
"Why did you tell the others I did, then?" Cade asked.
"I...I wanted to be able to hold you for a while," Rose said. "I know it's selfish, and we should be going after them, but..."
Cade smiled, gently pulling Rose into his arms. She smiled, curling into him as he lay back, holding her securely. "I still can't believe we actually beat it."
"Thanks to you," Rose said. "As stupid as it was, if you hadn't blocked that first barrage like you did, we all would have died. And then you used those offensive spells too." She looked up at him, smiling. "You were amazing, Cade."
Cade smiled, kissing her. She sighed, shifting to straddle his legs as she deepened the kiss. Cade let out a shaky breath as he felt hunger begin to flood the kiss, this time recognizing it from both ends, and Rose pressed tighter against him in response. Cade's hands gripped the sides of her waist tightly, Cade finding it much harder to keep them there this time, but after a moment, Rose arched into him, then let out a short breath as she pulled away.
"Go ahead," Rose said breathlessly. "You don't have to hold yourself back."
"That's debatable," Cade said.
"No, it's not," Rose said, her hands gripping his forearms and guiding his hands back and down.
Cade's eyes widened, but Rose simply fused her lips back to his. He remained frozen for a moment before letting out a shaky breath once again, his hands pulling her tight against him, beginning to massage the firm flesh they now rested on. Rose made a small noise of approval, her arms wrapping around him to pull herself tighter against him. His head began to spin quickly as his brain struggled to comprehend what was happening. His hands began to wander, clinging to her body anywhere they went as though in an effort to keep him grounded. Finally, he rolled them over, his hands sliding up to cup her breasts through her shirt, Rose letting out a moan of approval as his hands began to knead her. Her hips pressed against his leg and she whimpered. Cade's head spun. He could hardly believe this was actually happening. After several minutes, Rose's hands slid down, gripping the bottom of his shirt and he pulled back, allowing her to pull it off of him before she sat up kissing him again. And then, in the amount of time it took him to realize she was taking off her own shirt and armor, she was suddenly pulling his hands back to her chest, his hands sinking into the firm flesh of her full, bare, perky breasts directly. Rose moaned as his hands resumed kneading her mounds, and Cade redoubled his efforts, alternating between squeezing and kneading her entire breasts and focusing on her stiff, hot-pink nipples.
Rose's arms wrapped under his, her hands clinging to the back of his shoulders as their tongues swirled and her hips rocked up into him, pressing the axis of her thighs, now covered only by a pair of white panties, which had a large damp spot in them already, against his own thigh, another moan rolling out of Rose as he pressed his thigh down into her. He shifted down to attach his lips to her neck, Rose letting out a shaky breath and clinging to him. However, as he trailed kisses down her neck, he paused at her choker. Instantly, her hands released him, hurriedly removing the offending object and casting it aside before one arm wrapped back around him, the other tangling its fingers into his hair as he returned to trailing kisses over her neck. He reached the hollow of her neck just above her collarbone and suckled at her skin, pulling a whimper from her lips and feeling her hips rock against his leg more insistently. His hands, which had been busying themselves with her breasts so far, finally began to move again, sliding back down to the firm flesh of her ass, pulling her tight against his leg and guiding her hips to grind against his leg in earnest. Rose moaned heavily as her body obeyed his silent urging.
Cade moved down, capturing one of her nipples in his mouth, flicking it with his tongue several times before sucking it firmly and Rose arched her back, pushing her chest out for him. He smiled, continuing to tend to her left breast for several moments before making his way to the other as he pulled his leg back. Rose whimpered at the loss of contact, only to moan as his right hand slid around to begin rubbing her through her panties.
"Oh my God!" Rose gasped as he pressed his fingers against her clit through the thin fabric. "That feels...good!"
He smiled, moving up and kissing her to muffle her moans, then slipped his hand into her panties. Rose arched off the bed instantly, moaning and rolling her hips forward, eager for his touch. His fingers worked their way through her slick lips constantly, gaging her enjoyment by the way her hips rocked, and how frequently she moaned between kisses. Her legs spread to give him plenty of room, and her hands clung to him. He pulled back from the kiss and she tilted her head back instantly, moans and mewling sounds beginning to roll out of her constantly. He smiled, watching her expression as he continued, enjoying hearing her. He pulled his hand back and she whimpered, looking down at him, only to see him pulling her panties down. She allowed him to pull them of before spreading her legs invitingly again, desire clouding her eyes as she silently begged him to continue. He smiled, kissing the inside of first one thigh, then the other. Then, he moved up, kissing her smooth pelvis, smiling up at her in amused curiosity. Rose's face flushed darkly as he did, but he didn't ask. Instead, he moved down, his tongue flicking out to greet her clit and taste her and Rose moaned instantly, head falling back and hands tangling in his hair. He smiled, wrapping his arms under her legs and resting his hands on the front of her thighs as his tongue darted out over and over, trailing through her lips, circling her clit, and gathering her sweet yet tangy nectar, which sent tendrils of numb, tingling pleasure through his scalp and brain with every taste. He listened to her moans of approval and encouragement to tell what she liked more or less. So far, he'd been coasting along on curiosity, what little he'd managed to pick up while travelling through human cities, meaning whatever he'd overheard men at bars talking about with their friends, and a bit of guesswork based on what he knew about both Human and Wingly anatomy from his mother teaching him what medical knowledge she had known, in case he needed to treat wound without magic or potions.
After about five minutes of him diligently working her folds with his tongue, he felt Rose's muscles beginning to coil up beneath his hands, and could see the muscles in her abdomen and pelvis tensing. She began to quiver, her breathing coming in heavy gasps, and her moans going silent. Her hands released his head to fist in the sheets and he could just barely see her face flushing. After a few more flicks of his tongue, she came undone, bucking and shuddering as her juices gushed out of her, only for him to greedily devour it, reveling in her taste as he worked to clean her up, extending her pleasure in doing so. Finally, she settled back on the bed, gasping and panting and he climbed up, laying beside her and smiling at the dazed, wide-eyed expression on her face. She looked up at him and blinked before suddenly seeming to glow, smiling lovingly as her eyes softened, shrinking back to their normal size. She released the sheet and reached up to pull him into a kiss, moaning weakly as she tasted herself on his lips and tongue. Cade sighed, continuing to kiss her for several long minutes before pulling away. Rose turned into him instantly, pressing light kisses to his neck.
"That was amazing!" Rose said, voice little more than a whisper. "I've never...I had no idea it felt like that."
"Wait, you've never...done this before?" Cade asked, frowning when Rose shook her head, smiling up at him. "But...you were engaged, weren't you?"
Rose's smile slipped and she nodded. "We were too busy with the war to think about...things like this. What little time we had between battles was usually spent preparing for the next, or treating our injuries."
Cade nodded, reaching down and kissing her again. Rose sighed, tongue slipping out to meet his, swirling against his. Finally, she pulled back and reached down to his belt, pausing and looking at him for permission. He nodded and she quickly removed his pants and boots, freeing his straining erection before staring at it in surprise. She reached up, wrapping her surprisingly soft and smooth fingers around it, stroking it slowly. He watched her as she stroked him, trying to tell if she was unsure at all. However, after a moment, she smiled reassuringly up at him before leaning down and beginning to trail her tongue up the underside of his shaft. He let out a heavy breath and she smiled, repeating the action before closing her lips around his head and beginning to lower her own. He groaned as the warm, wet interior of her mouth slid against him, enveloping him before retracting, only to slowly envelop him again. His eyes fluttered, trying to close in order to better savor the pleasure, but he fought to keep them open, watching Rose through half-lidded slits. She looked up at him, smiling around his prick before lifting her head and releasing him, his prick now glistening with a coating of her saliva.
He let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, then watched as Rose moved to straddle his hips, lining him up with her glistening slit. She began to settle onto him, face scrunching up in discomfort, but she set her hands on his chest to steady herself and continued to sink down onto him. He sucked in a breath as she slowly engulfed him, every twitch, clench, or shift of her ribbed tunnel sending a jolt of pleasure through him. He gripped the sheets tightly, struggling to hold himself, though unsure he'd be able to. She hadn't even taken him all the way in yet, and already he was struggling not to fill her. She paused, then began to rock slightly, inching her way down, her painfully-tight grip pulling more and more of him inside in a steady rhythm. She was so much tighter than he could have imagined. When she had taken him into her mouth, it had felt like a snug fit, but this was so much more. It was to the point of being somewhere between pleasurable and painful to be inside her.
She gasped and paused after a particularly large drop, at least in comparison to the others, but after another moment she continued, finally bottoming out a few moments later, her hips sitting flush with his. Her face was contorted in discomfort, and her entire body was tense, so he sat up, kissing her. She let out a short breath, kissing him back, and wrapped her arms around him, her hands clenching at his back tightly, seeming to need to hold him, betraying how much pain she was in.
"Relax," he said, leaving her lips to kiss all over her face. "Relax. It'll stop hurting soon."
She nodded stiffly, but made no progress in relaxing her muscles. He smiled, kissing her again, focusing on keeping the kiss calm and soothing, trailing his hands lightly over her body. Slowly, her muscles began to loosen and relax. Cade continued to kiss her, hands continuing to gently run over her body as she continued to cling to him. However, finally, her grip slowly began to loosen as well before she shifted her hips slightly, whimpering, but pulling back from the kiss and gently pressing her hands against his chest. He lay back, slipping his hands into hers, and she smiled, lacing their fingers together before shifting her hips again. Again she whimpered, wincing, but began to slowly raise her hips again. When she winced again, he slipped his hands out of hers and caught her hips.
"You don't have to move if it still hurts," Cade said.
She shook her head, smiling. "It's alright now."
He nodded and she rejoined their hands, continuing to raise her hips. She stopped as his head was about to slip out of her, hesitating for a moment, then began to sink onto him again, a small, soft moan slipping out of her this time. She began to raise her hips again, a little faster this time, then sank onto him a little faster, again moaning. Cade grit his teeth as she began to move again, setting a slow, steady rhythm, her hands clenching his as she began to speed up slowly. Each time she raised her hips, her tunnel let out a wet sucking sound, as though desperately trying to keep him from being removed, then each time she dropped her hips, it squelched loudly as she was impaled on him again. After a few minutes of keep her pace slow, she began to speed up more, moaning as she speared herself on him over and over. Her hands clung to his and the room echoed with her moans mixing with the wet squelching of him filling her repeatedly. Cade began to thrust up into her in time with her drops after a few minutes, feeling himself beginning to slip and desperately clinging to his control but unable to still his body. However, after a few more minutes, he looked up at her just as she paused and grimaced.
"Does it hurt?" Cade asked.
Rose shook her head, smiling. "It feels good. But can we switch positions?"
Cade nodded, sitting up and wrapping his arms around her before rolling over and laying her on her back, beginning to take over moving, thrusting into her deeply but slowly before beginning to pick up the pace again. It felt different this time. The new position, with Rose's legs spread wide and folded up almost beside her, allowed him to fill her all the way to the end of her tunnel, and each time he did, Rose moaned deeply. He glanced down, seeing the faint traces of red mixed in with the abundance of her body's lubrication running out of her. He reached down, kissing her passionately and she responded in kind, clinging to him as he continued to bury himself in her over and over quickly. He felt himself starting to slip and sucked in a harsh breath, only to find he couldn't speak. He couldn't catch enough breath to, no matter how much frequently he gasped for air. Rose seemed to be no better off, gasping and panting beneath him, arms wrapped around him and hands clinging to his back as she let out low moans and soft cries. He struggled to hold out, feeling her beginning to quiver around him, her muscles starting to coil up again. She opened her half-lidded eyes to look up at him, and opened her mouth to speak, only for a heavy moan to roll out.
"I-I'm..." he gasped in another breath, forcing himself to speak, "close."
Rose moaned more loudly, hips rocking up into him as her legs locked around him. He felt himself slip and tried to pull out, only for her legs to suddenly clench around his waist as she arched off the back, crying out in ecstasy as she shook and bucked, her tunnel clamping down around him just as he erupted into her. His body bucked forward, ramming his member into her as deep as it could as another wave of semen surged into her. Her tunnel quivered and undulated around him, milking him for every drop as his hips bucked and thrust into her several more times, each thrust sending a fresh wave of seed deep into her womb. Finally, after nearly a minute, both began to settle, gasping and panting in each other's arms, collapsing into a sweaty tangle of limbs. Cade rolled onto his side so he wouldn't be putting his weight on her and bent down, capturing her lips in a tired, languid, kiss. Rose moaned softly in satisfaction as she returned the kiss, his softening member slipping out of her finally.
"I love you, Cade" Rose said softly as he pulled away.
He stared at her for a moment before smiling. "I love you too, Rose."
She smiled, kissing him again, just as languid and patient as before, the kiss continuing for far longer than usual before she finally pulled away again. "Was I...um...I mean...have you ever..."
"You're my first," Cade smiled, kissing the top of her head. "First kiss, first time."
Rose smiled, nodding, and reached her left hand over to her right between them, gently running her fingers over the ring.
"You kept it on?" Cade asked.
"Of course," Rose smiled. "It was a gift from you. Why wouldn't I?"
He smiled, kissing her again, then held her tightly. "I love you."
Rose smiled, snuggling into his chest. "I love you too."
He smiled, curling himself around her before they both slowly drifted off to sleep.
