They arrived at the detective agency/ house and piled inside with extreme energy, the back side of the huge house was for everyone while the front was their detective headquarters. They moved to the back side and was shown everything, Vector and Mighty's shared room, Charmy and Ray's shared room, Espio and Knuckles separate rooms. Charmy begged for Soni to sleep in his room so he could be with a mother figure while Vector wanted her in his room so they could blast music and party all night. Espio even tried to charm her into his room but halted his advances when he felt Knuckles burning aura behind him. Soni laughed at all the commotion but politely asked to sleep on the couch, they all agreed and began showering the couch with pillows and blankets , after all, they did have a A list celebrity in their house. Knuckles was embarrassed at their behavior and at the fact the rest of the house was trashed and looked like a complete pigsty. They all asked if Soni could hang out with them tomorrow so they could show case their band and chill, Soni agreed with a bright loving smile and wished them all a good night. Her charm made all of them adore her even more and they smiled back wishing her a good night as well, they all went to their rooms and left her alone in the living room. She hid under the blankets and took off her skimpy dress, leaning over she grabbed her make up removing wipes and cleared her face of the heavy application, she rolled over on the mountain of pillows and blankets and soon fell asleep. A few hours into being asleep she sleepily woke up and stumbled towards Knuckles room, Soni kept mumbling about her dream with the aforementioned echidna.
Knuckles sat on his bed looking slightly troubled by something, he was completely lost in thought and didn't notice the blue babe sleep walking into his room. Soni climbed into his bed and wrapped her arms around his waist, she snuggled her face into his side and soon fell back asleep. Knuckles jumped and started panicking about the woman next to him, she was the reason he was completely lost in thought and now this? What did she really feel and think about him? Knuckles gently shook her awake and tried talking to her about what she wasn't doing but she was still really out of it and only resulted in her getting up and climbing on top of him with a cute sleepy smile. Soni spread her legs and wrapped them around his waist and draped her arms over his shoulders, she kissed him on the nose then moved to his cheek. Soni grinded against him while letting out a cute giggle but a very desperate sounding plea to be treated right. Knuckles was in complete disbelief over what was happening, he wanted this total babe to himself so bad but was this really the best time to do this? Soni's begging and her asking to be treated right along with her nodding tiredly to him asking if she wanted to have sex, led him to agree to do it.
Knuckles slid off her thong and got to work, he groped and suckled at her heavy breasts, her piercing glistened with the small light in his room which was even more of a turn on, they moved to penetration when with every thrust she let out tiny little squeaks and giggles. They went for a few hours both sex and foreplay and finally finished, much to Knuckles satisfaction Soni's body glowed in the shimmering moonlight. He had to guess she lotioned up nicely to be so dewy. They both cleaned up and Soni fell asleep wrapped in Knuckles arms, Knuckles laid there comfortable with her but still couldn't believe he just slept with one of the biggest celebrities on all of Mobius. Knuckles snuggled more into her and soon fell asleep himself, he hoped the morning would bring some answers he's been needed to get out of her.
Come morning Soni was missing from his bed, this instantly struck him with anxiety and upset, did she really sleep with him and leave? Knuckles rolled his eyes and stepped out of bed, he noticed his silky robe was gone but ignored it and put on another and stepped out of his room. Something smelled amazing and he had to wonder what it was considering the team only ever ordered out, he walked out of his room and down the stairs to see everyone sitting at the now cleaned off table, they applauded when giant plates of food were placed in front of everyone including Knuckles. Soni sat across from him donning Knuckles missing robe, she had tied it together in a pretty bow, the top of the robe bowed out and barely covered her chest but she didn't seem to mind and evidently neither did the group as they weren't ogling her minus the occasional glance from Espio.
They enjoyed the amazing food and begged her to never leave but apologized that she had a tour to continue but promised to visit after touring, everyone thanked her for the food and being considerate enough to wanna come back. Knuckles asked Soni if she'd be willing to ste aside and talk in private, she happily agreed and left with him to his room. Knuckles laid it out straight. He wanted answers. Nothing sugar coated. Knuckles asked why she was so kind and carefree to this group of strangers that basically invaded her personal space and took her from her rich and famous world. He asked about how she really felt about him and what the issue was with the obsessive black and red hedgehog, what was last night about and why did she plead for him. Soni smiled and grabbed Knuckles hand and began to answer all his questions. Soni said that she felt it in her gut that they were good and honest Mobians and had been in the fans position before, plus they saved her from being raped and possibly kidnapped when she was left alone and if they had ill intentions they would have acted on it. Soni laughed lightly at how terrible the security had been and had wished there was more safety for not just her but for everyone there. She then moved onto his next question. Soni let out a huge sigh followed with a heavy pained look on her face but Knuckles needed to know everything.
Soni began with how her and her now named boyfriend Shadow met in high school, he was a quiet kid who always got into fights and a amazing voice to boot, she quickly grew attached to him and helped him make other friends, which wasn't a whole lot. Soni showcased how well she could play guitar and joked about starting a band but Shadow was quick to agree, she fell even more in love with him and soon grew into dating each other. Sweethearts through and through. Everyone knew them as the prep princess and gothic prince which later turned to gothic king and queen of the school, they had everything possible to rule the school, including prom icons. Soni had connections to book small gigs and eventually built their way up, passing graduation and opening for the big stars. Somewhere along the lines he started talking to the wrong people and changing how he saw her, she was constantly left alone and never treated her right, only being sexually intimate with her. He changed his ideals to have the desire to control his woman from what she did, how she looked, what she wore, walked and talked, and even who she hung out with. He even started getting physical with her making sure to leave bruising on her wrists, lips, neck, hips and chest. Forcing her to get the piercings she donned every day, she even mentioned how he keeps roping her back in every time she wants out, all the false promises that she always fell for. Soni began tearing up and her lips trembled mustering out an apology, she felt terrible about being ripped away from him but only went with to avoid conflict between the two of them. Soni laughed awkwardly and admitted to wanting a passionate love session and knew that Knuckles would give to her, she confessed to falling in love with his appearance and shyness the first night they met and knew there was an eternal burning love between them.
Soni gulped and hoped that wasn't too awkward or too much for him to swallow, she felt horrible confessing all this to him if he didn't even feel the same, she couldn't even make eye contact with him after mustering a quiet " I love you so much..."
Knuckles froze. She really trusted them all? She really fell in love as fast as he did? This WASNT a tabloid stunt? Carefully looking her over he began to notice all the bruising some on her neck, lips and chest, she wasn't lying about anything at all. Her mink little "I love you' set his heart ablaze, she really was a sweet kind and genuine Mobian, not the fake tough goth girl act she put on stage nor the snobby celebrity that most have about themselves. Soni truly cared about him and his friends no matter how weird they acted towards her, now, she stood before him crying about her feeling and her terrible boyfriend that constantly gaslighted her into staying with him. Knuckles wanted nothing more than to protect her more than anything but knew her job came first and foremost. He pulled her in close and leaned down, he kissed her passionately on her plump lips while wiping away her tears. Knuckles confessed his heart to her as well, saying how he's not a huge fan of the heavy music but was dragged along and was glad he went. Saying the moment she walked out onstage his heart overfilled with emotion and felt an instant spark, getting to meet her in person almost took his breath away and just getting the opportunity to just to get to know her. They stood wrapped in each others arms when they heard a cracking of wood which followed by an engine turning off. The Chaotix were all pressed against the door to listen in on the conversation but broke in the door and scattered across Knuckles bedroom floor, they loudly congratulated them before Charmy pointed out that fact there was a cool red and black motorcycle outside and the person driving it was approaching the building. Soni knew full well what was about to happen, but, what she suppose to do?
