Gift II
Amon
The temptation of forbidden fruit... is hard to resist. However, should I not resist, should I choose to accept the forbidden fruit, will the fate of Eve befall upon me? Should I perhaps, by chance, loose something that I hold close to me?
It is tempting. But as usual, what is right is the path I will go. But this time.... It will not be a path that will be easy to follow.
Amon looked into Robin's eyes as the towel fell to the floor. He heard the soft movements of it landing there.
"Robin."
Her eyes looked at him, pleading him, daring him, to accept her gift. In the shadows, he saw her shiver slightly.
He wanted to accept the gift. He had only to accept the gift to make his dreams become reality. All those dreams that had haunted him, came back to haunt him now. The thoughts of him and Robin tossing around on the bed.... He gulped, and drew in a breath of air. He had not realized he had been holding his breath the whole time.
She walked towards him, where he sat on the bed. She stood in front of him awkwardly, not sure what to do.
Gently, he took her into his arms, laying her head against his shoulder.
"Robin.... You're still young," he said gently, each word reminding him of the age that separated them.
Robin held her breath and tensed.
"This is something I can't take."
She looked into his eyes. "You don't want me," she simply stated.
"No. I want you so much but I can't fulfill that desire. Not yet. There is much we have to do and we can't be distracted by this."
"Why? Why can't we just forget about it for once?"
Robin was different from what he had known her to be. What had changed? Robin was never like this. Amon knew he was treading dangerous water.
"Because if we don't, we won't survive."
"Why?" Amon heard the quaver in her voice.
"Please Robin," he whispered. There was emotion in his voice. A silent plea. Robin lowered her gaze. What was she doing?
"Robin. Understand." It was a command.
"Why Amon?" she asked, relentless in her pursue of an answer.
"I have already answered that."
"It's because I'm too young right? Perhaps you were right. Perhaps I was really deceiving myself. Perhaps I imagined that you actually cared about me. That you actually loved me." Robin pounded her small fists against his chest, in frustration and anger. Amon caught her hand.
"It's no illusion Robin. I do care for you." And to prove his point, he kissed her.
It was no chaste kiss. It showed how much he wanted her, how much he hungered for her until it became intolerable, until it pained him. It showed how much he cared for her, how much he wanted to make sure she was safe. It showed how much he loved her.
Robin found herself drifting, drowning in the intenseness of the kiss. Everything.... It was something she had never experienced and it was wonderful. She hungered for it and returned the kiss, answering his passion with hers.
His lips tasted like darkness, with a bitter sweetness to it. It was wrapped around with an air of mysteriousness with a hint of danger.
The kiss ended when their lungs cried for a need of air. Robin chest heaved slightly. She gazed into Amon's fierce eyes.
It took him a lot of control to stop himself from going further, to make his desires real. But he achieved it.
"Robin.... Save your gift for our wedding night."
Robin snapped out of her haze. He had said our. Theirs. Their wedding night. A surge of happiness, hope and love coursed through her body.
"Our.... Wedding night?" she asked, hoping she had heard right.
Amon nodded. He had no clue why he had said it. Robin could not marry until she was eighteen. There was at least three more years until that happened. So much could happen in the course of three years.
"Go to sleep Robin," he said, his voice turning back to a neutral tone. He didn't want to say much more.
Robin did as he told her and crawled under the covers. Amon joined her there.
I hope I didn't make a mistake.... he thought, as he drifted into sleep.
Oh my gosh! I am so sorry for the late update AND the short chapter! Please forgive me!
But really, some of you guys were wondering what the heck I was doing in the previous chapter. You guys didn't actually think I'd go back on my word and do a lemon?
OMG! I just finished watching Loaded Guns this Friday and it nearly broke my heart! Especially the part at the end where Zaizen starts kicking Amon because Amon didn't follow Zaizen's orders and Touko got hurt! Cruel episode.
Thank you to all of my reviewers! I want to thank you all for the wonderful compliments you have given me!
Mark Anthony: My DA account is Silver-Cat18. deviantart. com.
JadeGoddess: Like I've said before. I haven't seen the whole series yet. I only know what's going to happen because of all the spoilers that I've read. If you want to know the answers to your questions quickly, then I suggest you look up spoilers on the Internet.
Anime-Shawty17: You have my deepest sympathies! My heart goes out to you! I'd hate it if my mom wouldn't let me watch Anime stuff and like that!
Caladbolg777: I don't know if you've gotten my e-mail. It's sent from my other e-mail, SilverCat18 hotmail dot com. Anyway, thanks for your long review! I appreciate it. It was very informative and helpful. LOL.
Forest-Maiden: Teehee! I'm glad I got you hooked onto an Amon/Robin story! Me, I'm not really fond of Michael/Robin parings in stories. But I do believe, age-wise they would be the best pairing.
Once again, thanks to all my reviewers!
