Chapter 36 - Main Course

Happiness wrapped her as Eira watched Cor once again cooking for her.

Today they were supposed to have a shooting practice with Prompto like usual. However, this morning he informed Cor that he had a fever. That was why Cor suddenly called her in the morning, telling that the practice was canceled, and unexpectedly, the man asked her for a date instead.

But they had no idea where they should go—remembering that going outside was a bit risky—, and thus Eira randomly said, "We can… just have a simple lunch at your house… And maybe you can cook me some delicious stuff again… Ehehe…"

So here she was, in Cor's kitchen, just like the other day, waiting patiently as she watched him cook their food.

It didn't take a long time until he finished cooking a few dishes and placed it in front of her. Grilled salmon, miso soup, sauteed vegetables, and fresh cooked rice. If he wanted, he could just open the restaurant and it certainly would be her favorite place. Not that she wanted anyone else to taste his cooking though, a bit possessive she was. She wanted his cooking to be special only for her—well, okay, and for some lucky crownsguard in his squad.

Cor took a seat next to her. They were sitting so close that she could hear his breathing. But this time, Eira didn't feel as nervous as the last time she ate dinner here. Yeah, she remembered how cold and sweaty her hands were that night. They were also trembling and she was so afraid he noticed them. But not now, not this time. She could only feel the comfort, and she was grateful about it.

"Mmm… It's so delicious." Eira said after gulping her first bite. "I love your cooking so much."

"Well… I love yours better." Cor smiled at her.

Blushing, her heart wasn't ready for a sweet flattering. She then said, "Should I cook dinner?"

"Do you want to stay until night?"

"Umm… If you don't mind me staying."

Cor took a drink then looked at her. He went silent, just staring deeply at her and it made her feel a little bit anxious.

She could sense something from those eyes. A hunger, not toward the food. A thirst, not toward the water. He looked like he was going to devour her, relishing her flesh right here right now.

She blushed, "W-What's wrong?"

"If I could, I don't want to let you go home."

Eira just dropped her rice back into her bowl when Cor said those words in a serious tone. His eyes were darkened, trapping her inside his charm.

She was so happy to hear those words from his lips. He just let her know how much he wanted her to stay, how much he wanted her to be by his side. If he could, he didn't want to let her go home. And if she could, she also didn't want to go home. She just wanted to stay there forever. Living with him, having meals together like this everyday, sleeping next to him…

But she couldn't. He couldn't. They couldn't… yet.

Cor chuckled softly, then kissed her lips before taking another bite of his salmon.

"You tease me," curling her lips, she pouted.

"No." Cor gave off a warm smile. He gazed at her with his icy blue eyes.

His eyes when they reflected her figure were so tender, so soft. She could catch the glint of seriousness from those blue. He wasn't kidding when he said that he didn't want to let her go home. And in that instance, Eira's mind wandered to a certain primal desire she secretly had all this time. Looking down to his lips, she imagined the softness they were when they kissed. Going downward, she stared at his neck, wondering how it felt if she kissed it. Then downward, to the muscular torso hidden under his t-shirt. But then… Down there…

Oh, get a grip, Eira you dumb!

Eira quickly gulped as the warmth began to gather inside her stomach. Raising her head, she hoped Cor didn't notice that she was thinking about something indecent toward him.

"Yes?" Cor asked, noticing that she suddenly raised her head.

She parted her lips in surprise. Nervously moving away her eyes, she was thinking hard to find any other topic. She didn't want him to know that she had dirty thoughts about him.

Luckily she caught the sight of his chopsticks—the one she gave him on his birthday. "A… Ah! You use it! The chopsticks!"

Cor blinked and shifted his gaze to the chopstick in his hand. "Umm? … Yeah. You're going to be upset if I don't use it, right?" He smiled at her.

"Y-Yes! Please always use it."

"I do."

She silently huffed then continued to eat. Even though she still occasionally thought about her wild desire.

Cor and Eira then chatted as they enjoyed their lunch just like what they usually did. They talked about stuff that happened in the citadel or in Lucis, about new movies they probably want to watch next time, or about the next dating place—Eira was so excited about this.

"You really want to wear a wig?" Eira laughed at Cor's idea for disguising himself so that they could go on a date.

"I'm sure you don't want anyone to see us together, right?" he asked innocently.

"But… Ahahaha… Marshal of the crownsguard wearing a wig… For a date."

Cor joined her for laughing, "I can't think of any other way."

"To be honest, me too." Eira laughed again until she was tired and forced herself to take a deep breath and slowly exhaled the air from her lungs as an effort to calm herself. After a long sigh, she then stood up, "Let me wash the dishes."

"Hei, no need to do that."

"You cooked, let me wash the dishes."

"Really, I can do that."

"I know. But I insist." Eira said, partially glaring at Cor so he let her do the chores.

"Okay. Thanks." Cor smiled.

Lifting the corner of her lips, Eira took all the dirty plates and brought them to the sink.

It didn't take long until she finished. And when she wiped her hands, she caught Cor who was watching her. She wondered if he kept staring at her as she washed those plates. The thought made her blush.

Eira walked toward him and he got up from his seat. They looked at each other in an awkward manner since they didn't know what to do right now.

"Umm…" Cor scratched the back of his head nervously. "Want to watch tv?"

"Y-Yeah… Sure…" Eira nodded and they went to the living room.

Eira sat on the sofa and somehow she was also nervous. The atmosphere was a bit… unsettling. Somehow she wished something happened, yet, she didn't know if she wanted something to happen. Her mind wandered, thinking about a certain desire toward him that kept bugging her since lunch. But, uh, no, she wasn't ready. Or perhaps she was ready. Uh, oh, she was confused.

Shaking her head, she looked at Cor who just grabbed the remote and then sat next to her.

Biting her lower lips, she stared at the tv which then showed an ice cream advertisement.

Wanting to divert her mind from creating uncontrollable imagination, she then came up with a topic.

"Hei, do you like ice cream?" Eira asked.

"Yes."

"What's your favorite flavor?"

"I've only tried vanilla and chocolate. So… Maybe those flavors."

She widened her eyes, "Eh? Just two? Have you never tried any other flavor?"

"No." Cor shook his head.

"Eh? Really?"

"What's your favorite?" Cor asked.

"Mint and rose."

"Rose? Mint? Isn't mint cold? And ice cream is cold, isn't it?" Cor frowned, seemingly confused with the flavors.

Eira laughed hearing his puzzled question. It wouldn't be weird if Cor didn't know those flavors. The marshal was very busy with his job, he didn't have any time to visit a gelato shop or any cafe that had various ice cream flavors. Heck, she could guess that he only bought ice cream in supermarkets or convenience stores and they indeed didn't have those unique flavored ice cream.

"It's very delicious! You should try them. Oh, I also love jasmine tea and charcoal."

"Charcoal?" Cor tilted his head. "People eat that? As ice cream?"

Eira giggled. "Let's order some later! My favorite shop had a package where we could order six different flavors in small scoops."

Cor laughed, "Sure."

Eira leaned against the sofa backrest, looking at the tv which was now showing a tv drama.

"What kind of tv show do you usually watch?" Eira asked.

"News." Cor's answer was straightforward.

"I could totally guess it." She laughed softly.

"What about you? Do you want to change the channel? Or we can just watch some movie. Hmm… I only have old movies though." Cor offered.

"Anything is fine… as long as I can stay with you." Eira muttered. But then her cheeks were blushing. Oh, she was so embarrassed because of how honest she was.

Eira looked at Cor shyly, wanting to know his response. Cor gave off a long sigh while brushing his face with both of his hands. He then looked at her, with a deep gaze and a solemn face.

And at that moment, it seemed that she forgot how to breathe. Meanwhile, her heart was thundering inside her chest.

Suddenly, Cor pulled her into his arm, while his other hand lifted her chin. He kissed her, slowly and passionately.

She gasped, which then let him to easily delve his tongue into her mouth. Her mind went blank. She wasn't ready at all.

Shutting her eyes, she circled her arms around his neck. Gently caressing his head while he slowly pushed her down into the sofa.

Her stomach was burning and the heat slowly reached into her heart before spreading into her entire body. Her head was spinning as she was being showered by sweet kisses from him.

They were passionate kisses. The one that was so gentle and unhurriedly. His kisses told her that she was loved, that she was being desired. His kisses spoke a love language, the one that couldn't be expressed with words. His kisses took away her breath, but she didn't want him to stop.

She opened her eyes when he drew his face away thus giving pause in their kisses. Cor had crawled above her, and the man's eyes were staring at her in a fiery gaze.

Oh, his eyes were so beautiful. They were like shimmering crystals, perhaps celestite blue. They were so alluring, as they were indeed the first thing she loved from him. The first thing that she always yearned to see whenever he was around. The first thing that attracted her to him, that trapped her in his enchantment.

Her heart beat so fast, so fast, she could hear it with her own ears, she could feel the throb in the vein in her neck. It felt like her entire body was beating, following the rhythm from her thumping heart.

She closed her eyes again as Cor drew his face closer to her and gave another kiss on her lips. Unlike the previous kiss, she deliberately opened her mouth, shyly touched his tongue with hers.

"Mmh…!" she jolted in their kisses when Cor suddenly moved his hand toward her neck then traveled down to her breast. Quickly unlidded her eyes, she stared at Cor who was apparently staring at her as he kissed her.

"Hnn…" It felt like her heart was going to explode. Her entire body was burning. And it was only because of his kisses and gentle fondle on her breast. She couldn't imagine what kind of pleasure that was waiting for her if he touched her more than this.

Cor pulled away his face then gave a smirk at her. He then whispered, "You're so pretty."

She blinked twice, surprised by a sudden flatter. But then before she could even respond, Cor had kissed her neck and sunk his teeth into her skin.

"Aah…! Cor… Ah…" It was painful. But the pain slowly changed into unexplainable pleasure as he sucked it softly.

Oh… It was the first time someone touched her like this.

"Hh…" Eira bit her lower lips, struggling to muffle her voice when Cor bit another spot on her neck. She was embarrassed, moaning so loudly the first time he bit her. "Ah…" But Cor didn't give her mercy as he gave other painful marks along her shoulder.

"No need to muffle your voice…" he whispered before he dug his teeth into her flesh again.

"Ah… Cor…!" she gripped onto his shoulders when the prickling pain came into her senses.

She still couldn't believe what was happening to her right now. The marshal was enjoying her skin, licking it, biting it… she was sure that it would leave marks. Loud moans slipped out from her lips whenever he carved other marks, and each of them left a burning trace on her skin.

"I want to have you. Can I?" he whispered his plea. One that couldn't be refused by her as she also wanted to have him.

"Y-Yes…" she nodded. And when she gathered her courage to look at him, she saw a smile on his face.

Without any warning, Cor had suddenly lifted her body and carried her inside his arms.

"You are so… irresistible…" he glanced down at her as he brought her away from the living room.

Eira bit her lower lips. She was so nervous about what was going to happen. She didn't know if she was ready or not. Oh… It felt like she was going to faint.

The sound of the door being opened, made her avert her attention from Cor's face to their surroundings. They were inside a room which was obviously Cor's room. However, before Eira could observe more about the room she was dying to see since forever, Cor had put her down on the bed and quickly crawled above her.

"Mmh…" A muffled moan escaped her throat as he latched his mouth against hers. It was a hurried kiss this time, so lustful, so rough.

She felt Cor's hand reach her back and carefully pulled down her zip. He gently undressed her, leaving her only in her undergarments. Glad she chose her favorite pink set with cute lace adorned them. Not that she knew that he preferred her in nothing.

Cor smirked, as he swiftly pulled up his own shirt and threw it to the floor. She gulped, gazing at the beautiful sight of his well-built body in front of her. She wanted to touch them so bad.

"Oh… Fuck…" he grunted then pulled down her bra before sucking her nipple.

"Ah…" she cried. Hands reaching his head, she gently pulled his soft hair as she relished the pleasure granted by her lover.

The softness of his lips on her skin, the heat from his tongue on her hardened nipple, the touch from the hand that fervently fondled her other breast… Cor surely drove her crazy.

"You're so beautiful…" Cor whispered while giving a kiss on her cheek. He then gazed at her, savoring the sight of her with his eyes.

Eira flinched in surprise when Cor kissed her eyelids. He then moved down, to kiss her neck, to her shoulder, to her breast, traveling down to her stomach then to her thighs. It seemed that he was currently admiring her body, every bit of it, every inch of it, with kisses.

Feeling ticklish, she wriggled, "I'm… shy…" she whispered.

"You want me to stop?" he asked tenderly.

"N-No…"

Cor chuckled hearing her answer. He put a finger along the line of her panties, before trailing down and finding her clit.

"Ah…" she flinched, feeling the sensation she never tasted before.

Oh… She was so nervous right now. But she didn't want to stop. She didn't want him to stop.

"Wet already… Hmm…?" Cor smirked.

Thump!

Oh no… She was so embarrassed.

"Are you excited?" Cor leaned forward to get a closer look at her.

"Uu…" Biting her lower lips, Eira was too shy to answer. But then Cor began to rub her pussy and she unwittingly let out a moan.

Smiling to hear her voice, Cor added the pace which made her moan more. Cor didn't even touch her directly and she was already being like this.

Gasping, Eira felt so embarrassed when Cor took off her panties and threw them away. Now here she was, lying bare in front of the marshal of the crownsguard… powerless, drenched in sweat, and panting roughly.

She flinched when Cor touched her wet pussy. His fingers explored it, rubbed it softly, pinching her clit gently, making sure that she got wetter and ready for him.

A moan flew from her mouth when he put a digit into her virgin pussy. Her flesh circled his finger tightly. It was way different from when she tried to please herself with her finger. Cor's was bigger and more intoxicating.

"So pretty…" Cor leaned forward to take a closer look of her face when his finger was inside her.

"Ah… Don't look at me…" Turning her face away, she tried to avoid looking at him. It was so embarrassing.

"Eira…" Cor kissed her cheek. "Look at me…"

"No…"

"Look at me, dear…"

"Uu…" Yet she couldn't refuse him, not when he commanded her so softly like that. Turning her head to look at him, she saw his smile.

"You're so adorable…"

Cor began to thrust his single digit inside her, gaining loud moans from her.

"Ah… Aah… Cor…"

Such an indescribable feeling. It felt like she was being electrified from the tips of her toes to the top of her head. Her entire body was burning, and it was only because of a mere finger of his.

"Do you love it?" Cor whispered, lips so close to her cheek.

"Oh… Cor… Ah… Ah…"

She never knew such a pleasure. And it wasn't even with his cock. She arched her back, hands clutching harder to the sheet as she was getting closer to her release.

"Ah!" Loud moan escaped her lips when Cor added another finger and stretched her pussy wider.

She felt so weak, so vulnerable. Yet, the pleasure was amazing. She never tasted this kind of feeling before.

Her mind couldn't think. Her lungs craved for air. Her limbs were powerless. And her legs were numb.

And at that state, Cor latched his lips into her, kissing her ferociously, swallowing her moans into his throat.

He added his speed, thrusting in and out, curling his fingers inside her. She could feel how her pussy got tighter.

Heat gathered inside her stomach and it felt like it was going to burst out. She yearned for release. She was going to reach it.

Cor withdrew his face and looked at her closely as she finally reached her climax. Her loud moans echoed in his room, along with the sound created by her wet pussy which was being assaulted by Cor's fingers.

"Oh… Cor…" And his name was the only word she managed to say.

Smirking, Cor removed his fingers from her drenched hole then kissed her forehead.

"Good girl…"

Eira panted, struggling to control her breathing. She looked at him, watching as he pulled down his own pants.

Oh the Six…

She didn't know if she was embarrassed or drooling by seeing his cock. It was vigorously huge, she wasn't sure if it would fit into her virgin pussy.

Her heart was tumultuously thudding inside her chest, anxious yet excited.

"If you want me to stop, just tell me." Cor said as he spread her legs wider.

She was nervous, but she always wanted this… since long… "It's okay… I want you…"

"Hmm…" He smirked, pleased to hear her answer. Rubbing his length against her entrance, he then whispered, "I love you so much, Eira."

"Ah…!" She crumpled the sheet when he slowly put his cock inside her. "Aah… Cor… It hurts…"

Cor stopped moving then leaned forward. Caressing her cheek, he said, "Want me to stop?"

"No... No… Don't…" she begged.

It was the thing that she longed for, to be connected with the man she loved. She wanted to feel him inside her. She wanted him so bad. She wanted this.

"Okay…" Kissing her lips softly for a second, he then began to push deeper.

"Ah… Ah… It hurts…"

"It's okay, baby… It's okay… Mmh…"

"Aah!" She flew her head backward and arched her back when Cor finally thrust his entire length inside her.

It was painful, so unpleasant. It was way different from his mere two fingers.

She was so afraid to move, even slightly movement from breathing was enough to make her feel the pain from her stretched entrance.

"Oh… Cor… It hurts… Ah…" she wailed. Tears piled up beneath her eyelids, but she didn't want to cry. She didn't want Cor to worry about her.

Cor just stared at her, unmoving, as he patiently waited for her to get used to his presence.

But she didn't want to make him wait too long. Giving a weak nod, she gave permission to him to continue.

"Ah…"

He started slowly, and yet it was still unpleasant for her. It felt like her flesh was ripped apart.

"Eira…" he purred, carefully digging into her as an effort to not hurt her.

Her cries then began to shift into pleasure moans when at last the pain dissipated. She moaned his name over and over, as if it was the only word she knew in this world. Her mind was hovering. It felt like he was floating in the sky. It felt like she was seeing stars.

The flame inside her stomach begged to erupt again as she reached closer and closer to her release.

Contentment enveloped her mind, elation surrounded her soul, and pleasure filled her body.

She often dreamed about this. About being penetrated by the marshal of the crownsguard. And finally the dream had become reality. As she was being pounded by his cock over and over.

The sound of their fleshes slamming each other echoed in the room along with the creaking sound from his bed. She panted, and moaned, and panted, and cried, until a long wail escaped from her lips. She reached her second climax.

"Oh fuck… You're so tight… So good…" Cor still pounded her, but this time he increased his speed.

He gripped her thighs, no longer being gentle toward her as he roughly impaled her with his cock. And when he finally reached his climax, he abruptly pulled his cock away and poured his cum on her stomach.

Eira squirmed when the hot liquid spurted out from his cock touched his skin. Looking at his face, she caught the joy drawn all over his face.

Oh, the sight of the immortal, cumming on her stomach after he thrusted his cock into her pussy... She would never forget this sight forever.
