Three days had passed since then and she stood by her window waiting for him. She was leaving with him tonight, no matter what.

Or so she thought

She hadn't been idle though. She had convinced Goku that she was going to listen to him and asked him to teach her instant transmission, just in case Vegeta tried to take her once more. It had been hard, but she had learned it in two days, making Goku crow with pride. She felt sort of bad for deceiving him, but she knew that if she didn't do something about this, she was going to go mad. Goku had been giving her looks though, when he thought she wasn't looking at him while he had trained her. She felt the heat from theses stares and couldn't figure out what they meant, but she had an idea.

Which turned out to be correct.

As the evening came, she made dinner for herself and Goten, who was her guard for the night, Goku showed up, relieving Goten. He told them that Chi-Chi had decided to go home and that she wanted Goten to go with her. As the younger boy jumped up and said his goodbyes, Goku sat down at the table, giving her another of those looks. When they heard the door shut, leaving them alone in the house, he sighed, reaching over and pulling her down into a chair beside him. He kept a hold of her hand, softly rubbing circles into her palm.

"I've been thinking, Willow." He whispered, still looking at their joined hands.

"Oh, what about?"" she tried to ask nonchalantly, but her voice quivered as she spoke.

"About this, about what you asked me the other night. If I would help you with this heat." He whispered, finally looking up at her.

She tried to stay calm.

"What about Chi-Chi? Surely she doesn't –"

"I told her and she understands."

She looked at him in disbelief, making him chuckle.

"She understands, Will! I promise…. Chi-Chi doesn't really like, well, sex… she's a good wife in everything else, but she doesn't like having sex… As long as I'm discreet and I run it by her first, I can find other women to…. To well... "

"To have sex with?" Willow added in a whisper. He nodded, gratefully, and sighed.

"Yeah, that. I've never taken the offer, but with you I …well, I can't help but feel drawn to you... It's the heat, I know it is, but I hate to see you suffering because of it and well, I can't say that I haven't thought about you in that way…." He trailed off blushing.

She stayed silent, her mind whirling.

On one hand, she knew she could give herself to him, tonight, and right here at the table for that matter. She too had thought about him in that manner and wasn't at all turned off by the idea, but another part of her was warring.

She felt like she belonged to Vegeta, that he had claimed her first.

Which he had, really. She had been a virgin when he had entered her, breaking her last bit of innocence in more ways than one. She felt some kind of warning in her thoughts about giving herself to Goku, but at the same time, it was muddled. Confused, she stood, moving away from him to stand in front of the sink and looked out into the darkening yard that lay beyond the window.

She heard him get up and move in behind her. He ran his hands down her sides and they rested on her hips lightly.

"I promise you, I'll go slow. I'll make you happy," he whispered, his mouth inches away from her ear. She moaned, pushing back against him slightly.

His hand slid around her waist turning her around somewhat to face him. He lowered his mouth to hers, their breath quickening as he hovered there for a second. He looked into her eyes as if searching for permission, before finding it and covering her mouth with his.

The kiss was slow and soft, nothing like Vegeta's rushed and rough exploration. He let her guide him where she wanted him to go, waiting for her to run her tongue along his lip before opening his mouth to deepen the kiss. His hands moved upwards, resting on the sides of her breasts, but moving no further.

She gave a sound of protest that went straight to his gut, making him moan into her mouth.

He broke away and looked down at her.

"Shhh... I want to take things slow with you…" he murmured softly, leaning down to kiss her neck. He trailed his lips up to her ear, making her melt in his arms. She wrapped her arms around him and threw her head back.

"Goku..." she moaned.

Her vision was hazy as he continued kissing her. She started to pull him away for another kiss when she heard a roar of anger from outside.

Goku raised his head and they looked out the window to see Vegeta standing there, looking livid.

He glared at them before disappearing from sight.

They parted to go to the windows to find him, but he made himself known, crashing through the back door that lead to the kitchen where they were.

"So, you take her and kept her hidden for yourself, Kakarott…. Naughty naughty…" he said in a deadly voice. Willow pushed herself against Goku, feeling fear well up inside of her stomach.

"You are MINE woman… you know it..." he said, looking to her. He held his hand out to her.

"Come with me and we will finish what we started."

She felt part of herself wanting to just go with him, to be ravaged like an animal. But another part of her clung to Goku, literally and figuratively. She felt safe with his arms around her, felt the desire in the way he kissed her and couldn't help but want that kind of passion for the first time she was in heat. When she hesitated, Vegeta gave a roar, reaching over and grabbing her arm, trying to pry her from Goku's grasp.

She felt her anger flair for the first time. She wrenched her hand from his grasp and glared at him.

"Do not think you can manhandle me." She growled.

Vegeta chuckled darkly, "But I already have."

Goku pulled her behind him, making Vegeta curse.

"What are you even doing, Kakarott? Why don't you go home to that harpy you call a wife! I am unattached, thanks to that blue-haired whore you call friend! And so is the girl! Why must you stick your nose where it doesn't belong?" he roared, taking a swing at the taller man.

Goku dodged easily, but stayed in place.

"My wife knows where I am and doesn't have a problem with it. But I have a problem with you." He said in a quiet, deadly voice.

"Why do you have to be such a monster, Vegeta? Why couldn't you have just took your time and –"

Vegeta swung again, growling.

"Take my time? Gods, Kakarott! Don't you see what these stupid humans have done to you? Don't you feel it in your blood to just take her? To make her submit to you?" he yelled, confusion and anger warring on his face. "It is how it's been done for thousands of years! We don't ask questions, we don't explain! "

"But she knew nothing about it! Didn't you realize that? She knew nothing Vegeta! I had to explain it ALL to her!" Goku yelled right back at him.

Willow huffed indignantly.

"I'm right here, you know!"

Vegeta grinned evilly again.

"Yes, woman, we know. You have to decide, then. I put the first claim on you, but seeing as how Kakarott doesn't know when to mind his own business, he also has a claim. You must decide which of us you will take." He said, straitening up and looking intently at her.

Willow shook her head, closing her eyes.

She knew he was right, that she was going to have to choose, but her body and mind couldn't come to a decision. She felt like she was being pulled in both directions, like she was being ripped apart. With a growl of frustration, she moved away from Goku.

"I can't decide! I – I know there's something I'm missing here, but I don't know what!" she cried out, slamming a fist down onto the counter, breaking a piece of the marble off in the process.

Vegeta smirked at her before turning a glare back to Goku.

"Then if she won't decide, I am forced to enact the ancient law of Duorum Amantium!" he roared.

Willow felt a tingle of something go down her spine. She knew Goku had felt it too. She felt the shiver go through his body as well.

"What's that mean?" Goku asked, warily.

Vegeta grinned darkly.

"It means that since she can't make her mind up about who she wants, her heat will last for two months, beginning tonight when you take her. You have her for the first month and I get her for the second."

Willow huffed again.

"I'm not some toy to be passed around! What if I refuse?"

Vegeta grinned again, making her step back.

"Oh, but that's the best part; you have no choice in the matter! When Kakarott's time is up, you WILL come to me, whether you wat to or not. That is the beauty of the Duorum Amantium. You will be compelled to come and find me and no one can stop you. If they do, you will die."

Goku gasped loudly.

"You would do that? You would hang a death sentence over her head if she doesn't mate with you?"

"Yes."

Goku gave a loud growl, pushing Willow even further behind him, glaring at Vegeta. The other Saiyan laughed, leaning around to look Willow right in the eye.

"I'll see you a month from now, woman. I expect you to know a few things when we meet, but this is Kakarott we're talking about, after all." He sneered before turning to leave out the back door.

She slumped against Goku as Vegeta sauntered out the door, even closing it gently, laughing quietly. As soon as he was gone, Goku turned around and took her into his arms, rubbing her back.

"We'll figure something out… don't worry..."

She shook her head.

"No, there's nothing that can be done… I have to comply, Goku, he was right about that. Nothing can break it." She whispered.

He went to speak again and she held her hand up.

"I'm not worried though."

He looked confused. "Why not? He is going to hurt you! He –"

She kissed him softly, shutting him up.

"He can't hurt me, not really. He can be rough, but that's it. And besides, the only real thing he had over me was fear. But after our month together, he won't have that anymore because I'll have my memories of you." She whispered when they broke apart.

He smiled softly, pulling her against him and kissing her once more. He ran one of his hands down her backside, squeezing gently. When they broke apart he went over to the door and locked it, giving her a smoldering gaze.

"I think we can both agree that we don't want to be disturbed for the rest of the evening?" he asked.

She nodded, biting her lip.

"What about the others? Aren't they going to wonder where you and I are? What if they come by?"

He smiled slowly, moving side to side in a slow dance with her in his arms. He leaned in and kissed her softly, running his fingers through her long blonde hair.

"We can leave here if you want. We really won't want to answer the door once we get started." He whispered, still swaying with her in his arms.

She smiled up at him. "Let's leave."
