It was a quiet day. Everyone was hanging out at Maria's place. Canaan was laying on the couch, her left arm draped over her chest, her left knee bent, and her right arm behind her head. Mino and Yun-Yun sat at the coffee table playing cards. Behind closed eyes Canaan's eyes were raised in amusement as the 2 bickered about a rule to the game they were playing. Maria came out with some snacks. "Ok, you two ,That's enough." she said. Canaan gave a soft smile. She loved hearing Maria's voice. It's so soft ,sweet ,and full of life. She opened her eyes to look at Maria and smiled. "Hmm, How about we play truth or dare?" Yun-Yun suggested. Canaan sat up and draped her arm across her knee ,"Could be fun, I'm in." she said. Maria thought for a minute. "Ah, what the heck? count me in." she shrugged. Mino goes "Well if they're in, I guess I am too." Yun-Yun glanced around to the others. "Who wants to start?" she asked.

It went quiet for a moment, until Canaan spoke up, "I guess I will." She looked to Maria. She sat quiet for a moment to think of a response for whatever Maria would choose. "Truth or dare Maria?" she asked. Maria thought for a moment then said "Truth." Canaan nodded, "Alright, tell me one thing you've never told me about yourself." She said. Maria sat there in silence trying to think of something. "Oh, hmm, that's a tough one Canaan, to be honest I don't think there is anything I haven't told you about me." She scratched her head, "Hmm, yeah, you are rather honest with me. Plus I don't take you as the type to keep secrets." Canaan said thoughtful and turned to the others. "Ruling?" she asked. "Yeah, I can accept that answer." Mino said with a shrug. "I agree that the answers acceptable." Yun-Yun agreed. Maria smiled. "Alright my turn, Yun-Yun truth or dare?" she asked. Canaan reached over and grabbed one of her favorite snacks, a sugar stick (a/n what I'm referring to is kinda like candy cigarettes/sticks). Yun-Yun answered "Dare. " She crossed her arms bravely . "I dare you to let your hair down." Maria said, pointing to Yun-Yuns brown hair that was put up in a mouse ear bun. Yun-Yun nodded and reached up and undid her hair. "Ok Canaan, truth or dare?" Yun-Yun asked choosing Canaan as her target.

Canaan closed her eyes. "Truth." she said, her sugar stick between her teeth. "Are you in love with someone in this very room?" Yun-Yun asked. "Yes." Canaan said without so much as a hint of a blush, a crisp clear answer, no hesitation. Yun-Yun was shocked. Canaan shrugged, "What? you asked, I answered." Yun-Yun just looked at the ashen gray haired middle eastern teenager bewildered. "I guess I expected you to be a little more shy about it." she said scratching her cheek slightly. " Well to be fair you didn't say I had to say with who." Canaan pointed out. Yun-Yun sighed, "Good point." It was silent for a moment. "Lets give Mino a turn. " Canaan said. "Truth or dare Mino." she added. "Dare" came Mino's reply. "Ok, I dare you to do the most embarrassing thing you can think of." Canaan smirked. Mino sighed and took off his shirt and started to run around yelling like a maniac. "Ok my turn, truth or dare Canaan." he said as he put his shirt back on.

Canaan gave a chuckle. "I seem to be everyone's favorite target tonight, alright, I will switch it up and go dare." she shrugged. "I dare you to confess to the one you love." Mino grinned. Canaan gulped slightly and took a breath, ",ok." she said slowly and she looked to Maria and walked over to her. A split second look into each other's eyes, silver and hazel met before Maria finds herself in Canaan's embrace. She slowly returns the embrace, wrapping her arms around Canaan. Maria feels Canaan's shaky breath. "Canaan?" she asked softly ,concerned. "It's you. I'm in love with you Maria. Maria you mean a lot to me. There's a reason why I see your color the way I do. Growing up my home was destroyed. I never really had a place to settle down and call home, but when I am with you I get the feeling that your light is what guides me home. You are my home. I can't imagine my life without you. I am scared. With the way I live, to be with you puts you in constant danger but the thought of not being with you, not being by your side, hurt me more. I love you , I love having you in my life and I would do anything to keep you in it, to keep you in my life, to keep you with me. The truth is I am so scared that I'm gonna lose you." Canaan's voice began to Crack and shake.

Mino and Yun-Yun looked to each other. "Would you look at the time? It sure flies when your having fun." With that they left the pair alone. Maria softly smiled and began to sooth Canaan. "Canaan, it's ok. I love you. Your not the only one to have those fears. You mean a lot to me too. When you leave for a job I always get scared that maybe I'll never see you again. There's times I can't sleep because I miss you. When we first met I felt a connection and it took me a bit to find where. There's a lot of things that connected us, like we were both trying to find where we belonged and who we were." She spoke softly, gently rubbing Canaan's back. Canaan's breathing was back to normal but she didn't trust herself to speak. A lone tear slipped from her eye. She moved to come face to face with Maria. Silver with a glimpse of red met hazel, emotions shining in their eyes.

With a look at the clock ,Maria realized it was indeed getting late. "Come on, let's head to bed, it's getting late." Maria said. Canaan nodded. Canaan was getting changed and had just taken off her shirt. Maria noticed her toned shoulders and back were riddled with scars. Canaan stopped moving for just a moment when she felt Maria's eyes on her back. She let the shirt fall from her arms and shivered slightly at a gentle touch. Maria had lightly touched one of the few scars that riddled Canaan's back. She then embraced Canaan softly from behind, placing a soft kiss to a small scar on her cheek ,then a soft kiss to a scar on her shoulder. Canaan let out a soft sigh, looking at Maria out of the corner of her eye. Maria gave a frown, lightly touching a scar on Canaan's waist. Canaan softly whispered her name, "Maria." a soft smile on her face. Maria still frowned stroking the scar lightly in thought. "Poor Canaan, she has been through so much." She thought to herself.

Canaan turned slightly and gently placed her fingers under Maria's chin and softly pulled her to look into her eyes. "Hey, whatcha thinking about?" she asked softly, a soft smile on her face. Maria sighed, "Just looking at these scars. It makes me think of all the pain you've been put through." Canaan embraced her. "Yeah, I admit, I was in pain then but it's ok now." she said. Maria softly looked at her. "But these scars ,they remind you of it ,don't they?" she asked. Canaan nodded. "Sometimes." Canaan said. Maria placed a kiss to a scar on Canaan's collarbone before moving to her lips. "I want to remedy your pain Canaan." she whispered against Canaan's lips before kissing her. Canaan softly moaned against her lips feeling the desire, the want, the need. Maria's touches were soft and gentle. She took just a moment to bite Canaan's neck , marking her, and placed a soft kiss to the forming bruise. Canaan softly sighed and in turn marked Maria. Maria moaned when she felt Canaan bite down and like Maria had done to her she placed a soft kiss on the forming bruise. Maria sighed Lightly caressing Canaan's back. Canaan Lightly slipped her hand under her shirt placing her hand against her stomach, Her fingertips lightly trailing the taunt stomach muscles. Maria made a noise somewhere between a soft gasp and sigh. Canaan could feel every breath, every rise and fall of Maria's chest.

Maria giggled and flipped them, straddling Canaan's waist. "I'm supposed to be the one taking care of you." she chuckled playfully. Canaan placed her hands on Maria's waist, her knuckles rising the shirt a little. Maria grabbed the bottom of her shirt and pulled it off of her and let it fell to the floor. Canaan's hands rubbed her hip as Canaan took in the beautiful sight of the woman on top of her. Canaan sat up slightly, placing her right hand on Maria's cheek and wrapped her left arm around her waist holding her close. Maria wrapped her arms around Canaan's shoulders feeling her taunt strong shoulder muscles. "You are beautiful Maria." She said softly. Her fingertips traced Maria's spine causing the blonde to shiver slightly.

Maria lightly traced her fingertips against Canaan's collarbone and neck. Each and every touch soft and gentle. She laid her head on Canaan's shoulder as Canaan's fingertips danced across her back. She placed her hands on Canaan's chest. Maria lightly pushed Canaan down with her fingertips and made Canaan lay down. Canaan's ashen gray hair was astray on the pillow her fingertips still lightly caressing Maria's pale skin. Maria leaned down her long blonde hair forming a curtain around their faces. Maria touched the mercenary's light tanned skin in thought. Her lips trailed hot kisses down Canaan's abdomen feeling each rise and fall of Canaan's chest as she breathed. The desire was getting a bit harder to fight. Maria's hand played with the waistband of Canaan's brown cargo pants. She slid the pants down and off of Canaan's hips. Canaan lifted her hips, allowing Maria to slip them off. Canaan did the same to Maria. Canaan grinned "I know you want to take care of me but I think I'd like to take the lead for tonight." She said huskily.

Canaan rolled them ,her knee in between Maria's thighs. She nudged her knee against Maria's core receiving a small moan from the blonde photographer. Canaan reached her hands down caressing Maria's thigh. "Mm Canaan " Maria softly whispered. Canaan placed kisses down Maria's body and made her way in between those pale thighs. Maria shivered feeling Canaan's breath against her sensitive area. Canaan kissed her inner thigh slightly avoiding where Maria needed her most. "Canaan please don't tease me" Maria gasped slightly. Canaan smirked she complied and began to lick Maria. Maria shivered slightly at first contact the slight chill from Canaan's breath and the pleasure. She gasped slightly feeling Canaan's tongue brush against her clit the gasp transformed into a moan. The strokes and flicks of Canaan's tongue were gentle yet strong, firm yet soft. Maria bucked her hips as Canaan rubbed her thigh as she kept pleasuring her. The taste of Maria was driving Canaan wild. Her throat rumbled as she let out a growl trying to repress the urge to just ravish Maria. "Ngh P-please Canaan go faster." Maria gasped. Canaan complied and sped up slightly. Canaan then sucked Maria's clit causing her to arch her back and her pale hands entangled themselves in Canaan's ashen gray hair. It was intense, pleasure coursing through every pore of her body. She didn't understand why it felt so good. Was it because it was Canaan? She asked herself. That was the only thought she could make before the pleasure rendered her unable to speak or think. She came, Canaan coaxed her to relax edging her down from the high of pleasure.

She panted and Canaan made her way back up Maria's body. She kissed Maria's lips. Maria moaned slightly at tasting herself on Canaan's lips. She flipped them and straddled Canaan's waist. She grinned at Canaan "Now it's my turn." She said seductively. She places her hand on Canaan's breast and lightly squeezed. Canaan let out a gasp as Maria leaned forward and placed kisses and bites along her neck and collarbone. She trailed her kisses down Canaan's body caressing her abdomen with her hand feeling the taunt muscles of Canaan's stomach. Her fingertips rubbed Canaan's hips. Canaan moaned feeling Maria's gentle touches and kisses. Maria kissed Canaan's inner thigh making Canaan's breath hitch in anticipation. She licked her lips then began to lick Canaan's sex. Canaan gasped and gritted her teeth her head pushing back on the pillow as her back slightly arched. Like Canaan, Maria had to exercise self-control to not just ravish her. Canaan softly whispered Maria's name feeling her release coming closer and closer. She loved the feeling of Maria's gentle touch and kiss. With a gasping pant Canaan released. As Maria kissed her way back up Canaan's body Canaan draped her arm over her eyes with a smile still panting. She wrapped her arms around Maria and with their energy spent they fell asleep in each others arms.
