A songfic based on "Il Dolce Suono" from "Lucia di Lammermoor" (although it's actually kinda short if you take out the lyrics). You'd recognize this song in the very first episode of Gankutsuou. Disclaimers apply. And this fic is rated for a reason…
In her eyes, he never looked more beautiful.
She caught a glimpse of the intensity of his gaze as she lay beneath him in bed. At first, it frightened her; for a moment, she was reminded of the frightful Ruler of the Cave, as well as the harsh expression the Count would give her when the demon suddenly grew out of control. But she looked deeper this time.
Il dolce suono mi colpi di sua voce!
Ah, quella voce m'e qui nel cor discesa!
The way he looked at her now both startled her and captivated her. It was unlike anything she'd seen before. It was unlike anything she'd experienced before. The magnitude of his gaze seemed to hold her in place, even as the weight of his body gently but persistently held her down against her will.
But why bother struggling?
Edgardo! io ti son resa, Edgardo, mio!
fuggita io son de tuoi nemici.
Strangely, Haydee pulled him closer to her. She felt so vulnerable and defenseless underneath him, and this strange weakness was further intensified by the heat emanating from both their bodies. In addition, she suddenly found it difficult to breathe, probably because of the numbing sensation that coursed through her body like lightning. Overall, it felt so uncomfortable...
...yet so pleasingly intoxicating.
Un gelo me serpeggia nel sen!
trema ogni fibra!
vacilla il pie!
She squeezed her eyes shut as her body continued to writhe beneath him. Her sudden panting aroused him further, and a slight moan from her sent him kissing every inch of her bare skin he could find and touch. Less than a minute later, their lips met again and their fingers roamed each other's hair while their breaths came and went in ragged patterns.
And then he penetrated her.
Presso la fonte meco t'assidi al quanto!
Haydee let out a whimper before digging her nails deep into his back, beckoning him for more. A new, more frightening sensation made its way to her body, and as it did, the writhing increased. Soon enough, the bliss completely eradicated the pain. As soon as she adjusted to the sensation, she joined in the rhythm, completely submissive.
Ohime, sorge il tremendo fantasma e ne separa!
A sudden explosion ignited within her and spread throughout her body in one flash. In a single millisecond, Haydee saw sparks underneath her eyelids and her thoughts were replaced with nothingness. The intensity of the sensation was all too beautiful and all too brief. When Haydee finally opened her eyes, however, it felt like an eternity had passed.
Qui ricovriamo, Edgardo, a pie dell'ara.
Sparsa e di rose!
After a few long minutes of rest, when Haydee's heart came to a slow, she turned to the side and looked at him. His expression was constant before a smile appeared on his face, and he enveloped her in his strong arms once again.
She felt like a different person now, with a new perspective and new needs. For the first time in her life, she felt both broken and whole at the same time. And as she curled into his arms that night, she knew that she was never going to look at the Count of Monte Cristo the same way again.
