Maria's Return-Part 7 Shadow's fury and The L word!

Maria woke up it was 10:00 am it was Saturday. She snuggled closer into Shadow's chest fur stroking him slowly and tenderly. She was having flashbacks of the last few nights God he was amazing-they had barley left the bedroom. It had only been 4 days but she thought that maybe she felt deeply for him! She felt him stir and his eyes opened slowly. She was there in his arms once again post-sex haze, he knew it had only been 4 days but he felt like a different Hedgehog around her a more caring and sensitive one. One that wasn't afraid to show his feelings he felt… he felt… he didn't even know what he felt! "Hey beautiful." he whispered to her. "Hey." she said back her voice was weak-probably from last night. "Last night was… amazing." she said stroking his chest fur in a way that made him tingle with fiery lust. "Well I'm glad I can please you." He answered passion filling his voice "And I'm only just getting started!" he exclaimed and got out of bed to get dressed. Maria dressed in jeans and a light blue top just exposing her midriff and a cropped denim jacket and Shadow in his usual sneakers and gloves. "Let's go get us some Chaos Emeralds!" Shadow said half sarcastic pressing her against his body "Yes sir!" Maria saluted back just as sarcastic. They caught up with Sonic and the gang "Hey don't start without us!" Maria called to them "Ah good you're here! Finally decided to get out of bed did we?" Sonic threw sarcastically at them "Oh you shut up!" Maria wouldn't back down that easy! "O.K. Um we should split in to groups of lemme see-" Sonic counted everybody there where 12 of them including himself "3! 4 groups of 3 Blaze, Silver and Knuckles you go South Charmy, Espio and Vector you go West Me Amy and Cosmo will go East and Shadow, Maria and Tails can go North let's do it gang!"

They all went their selected paths and searched for about 3 hours and came up with a grand total of…0 Chaos Emeralds. Shadow was getting board they had been searching for a long time now and nothing! He was about to ring Sonic on his cell and ask if they could call it a day when he heard a familiar cackle coming from behind the trees "Well well Shadow and Tails out on an Emerald hunt." It was Dr Eggman in his Egg Carrier "And whose this little beauty such a fine specimen!" He had spotted Maria and picked Maria up with the metal claw attached to the vehicle "Aaaggghhh Put me down!" Maria screamed as she felt the ground leaving her feet Shadow was enraged "Well didn't you hear her put her down you bastard!" "Ah Ah Aha Shadow ask nicely or you may find her dropping to the ground fairly quickly! Decoe, Bocoe let's give him a demonstration" and he let her drop her scream made his eyes water and his heart break he went to catch her but Eggman got there first Her face was pale and she looked as if she might faint. He jumped up to the Egg Carrier and yelled right into Eggman's ugly face "I suggest you put her down right now or you may end up in a hospital fairly quickly!" he punched Eggman once, twice, 3 times landed a kick on top of his head. In the meantime Maria had wiggled free and was walking along the claw she used her booster shoes to zoom across. Eggman's face was bloody and bruised and yet he still hadn't suffered enough "This is what you deserve Eggman. You've had this comin' to ya!" "Chaos Spear" a voice cried and a spear of Chaos came hurtling towards Eggman but it wasn't from Shadow. Shadow looked around to see Maria in a fighting stance. "Maria you can use Chaos!?" Shadow was surprised "I guess so I'm just as surprised as you are!" Eggman was out cold and Sonic, Tails and the rest of the gang where there-Tails must have called them.

"Now that's what I call girl power!" Silver blurted out and everyone laughed. Shadow and Maria jumped down off the Egg Carrier Shadow ran and embraced her, Maria returned it "Are you O.K. your not hurt are you 'cus you'd tell me if you where hurt right please tell me your not hurt!" Shadow babbled on "Shadow I'm fine look at me do I look hurt. I do fell a bit dizzy though…" Maria collapsed into Shadow arms she was exhausted the Chaos power really took it out of her. "Let's call it a day Sonic. I'd better take Maria home. See ya later" He Chaos controlled them home. Shadow led Maria down on his bed, and waited for her to wake up. She came downstairs at around 6:00 pm, Shadow was asleep on the couch so she decided to have a shower. Shadow woke with a start, Maria dropping to the ground by the hands of Eggman invaded his dream, and that scream burned on his memory forever he really thought he'd lost her then. He knew exactly how he felt about Maria now "When she comes downstairs I'll tell her!" Shadow thought he couldn't run the risk of waiting any longer his impulsiveness was taking over. Maria wanted to tell Shadow how she really felt about him, she decided to dress in a short black dress that ended at her knees to excite his sight, she put un a vanilla flavoured perfume to entice his taste, and she would capture his thoughts with the words on her tongue.

She headed down the stairs to find Shadow looking so sexy standing in the frame of the living room door, he led her into the living room and sat her on the couch his expression suddenly turned serious "Maria listen, I've been thinking I don't know quite how to put this so I'm just gonna come out and say it. You make me feel things I've never felt for a woman before I… I… think I… I'm… in… Love with you! No I don't think I know Maria I Love you! I always have and I always will!" "Did he just say… Oh My God!" Maria thought he actually said those words those 3 tiny words that would change their relationship forever "Oh Shadow I… I Love you too!" she embraced him and then kissed him with such passion Shadow returned the kiss. She felt like she was on fire her mind was racing he loved her he actually loved her "Take me now I'm yours Shadow The Hedgehog!" Maria cried in a fit of passion. He felt her burning up as if she was on fire, he was flaming to he was teasing her, with his mouth savouring her taste, liking her all over making her shiver with delight, then he tried something different something new. As the fire intensified she felt faint, the things he was doing where new and she liked it. It was like he was unleashing the full fury of his love and passion he, was right this morning he was only just getting started. Shadow's mind was spinning-he had no idea Maria could bend that way-he felt her going limp so he slowed down and Maria panted out "No… don't stop… I… need you Shadow… oh… please!" so he sped up again her cries beaconing him to continue. 2 hours went past and they were led on the couch post-sex haze-round 120 so far. Breathless, hot and tiered. "I Love you so much Shadow" Maria managed to say she was exhausted it had been a long day! "I Love you too Maria!" Shadow panted out a smile creeping onto his face. Then the two fell asleep led close to each other-they had to as the couch was small-the morning soon came and the two lovers-though they didn't know it where about to face one of the biggest challenges of their lives today!
