Rude was on duty at the gate of the Rhapsodos mansion when Genesis's car rolled up suspiciously slow and stopped carefully beside him, normally it came roaring in and braked just shy of breaking the barrier. "Mr. Genesis..." he said looking at the driver and found an attractive dark haired female in the driver's seat instead. She wore sunglasses and a headscarf probably to guard her hair against wind tangles. Genesis glowered at him from the passenger's seat, looking like his usual self without a hair out of place, well that would be if a person normally styled their hair inside a wind tunnel so it was at different lengths sweeping backwards into spikes.

"We're expected, I'm Tifa Highwind" she said giving him a polite smile.

"Yes your name is on the list" he said, trying to sound nonplussed about the fact that she was driving the Boss's son's car. No one was allowed to drive his car!

"Hello sir, I understand you've been ill. How are you feeling now?" he asked him.

"Hello Rude. I'm just fine and can drive...please tell her that" he snapped, glaring at female in question.

"He finished his last dose of flu medication and should not be operating heavy equipment. Please tell him that" she requested.

"Heavy equipment? You make it sound like I'm suddenly going to take up the humble occupation as a bulldozer operator. I have been driving this car since I was sixteen, she had been rebuilt with her need for speed in mind and you're insulting her" he snapped at her.

"When you've not hopped up on medication, you can drive. Until then, sit tight we're almost at your place" she snapped back.

Rude however wasn't getting sucked into what looked suspiciously like a couple's quarrel. "I hope you'll enjoy your visit, I'll radio to have someone ready to park your car and collect your luggage" he said to them both.

"See now you made that nice man feel uncomfortable" she admonished them.

"You mean Rude" Genesis snapped.

"There's no need to insult him" Tifa explained.

"My name is Michael Rude" Rude explained.

"Oh I'm sorry Mr. Rude. I thought Genesis was calling you rude" she apologized.

"I was simply calling an employee of the Rhapsodos family by his name. You will cease speaking to me like I'm a child" he coldly said.

"You've certainly been acting like one" she said.

"You're cut off" he said.

"Cut off from what?" she countered in a confused sounding voice.

"Me, my body; all of this" he said indicating to himself with a sweeping motion.

"You wouldn't last until dinner time" she said but with affection in her voice.

"This from Knickers" he countered.

"Must you bring sex into everything? You're embarrassing us in front of Mr. Rude" she said with a blush.

"Hey Rude, we have sex" Genesis said, earning him a confused look from the normally unflappable Rude.

"That's nice. I'm happy for you both" he deadpanned.

"I'm terribly sorry if you're feeling uncomfortable" Tifa said in an apologetic voice.

"Just have a good time, Miss, Sir" Rude said and watched as Tifa started the car and drove it up the long driveway at a sedate pace that the car had probably never experienced in its long, classic car life of being owned by a speed demon as long dark hair barely streamed behind to the tangle of auburn in the passenger's seat.

Rude stood there, not having to worry about being pelted with a stream of gravel kicked up by the car as it roared down the driveway for once and felt like it was the end of an era. Genesis never brought women to visit, never and if this one was driving his car and nagging at him, it looked like the billionaire playboy Rude knew was gone.

"You live here?" she said in astonishment when they reached the mansion.

"Did, I wanted to live closer to work" he said helping her from the car.

"Yet you live in a condo no bigger than mine" she said with astonishment in her voice, the Tudor style mansion was huge.

"I don't need much in the way of accommodation for myself. I can always visit or return if I want. By having a condo I don't have to worry lawn or driveway maintenance and only need to have a maid in a couple of times a week. Even living in a large place like this there's always someone around. I like having my privacy" he explained.

"So you come from this money and can't afford to soundproof your condo?" she teased him.

"Well since my current lover is so vocal I guess I shall have to" he said and leaned over and gave her a peck on the cheek and she smiled at his simple gesture of affection.

Tifa felt nervous about meeting Genesis's family and felt grateful when Genesis took her hand as if sensing this. "I would stand back if I were you" he advised her once stepping over the threshold.

"Why?" she said when two blurs of red came barreling towards them and were suddenly clinging to his legs.

"Tifa, this is Amelia and this is Alex" he said indicating to the long red haired female toddler and the similar looking male one with shorter hair. "I told you about my niece and nephew" he said when two pairs of blue eyes turned to look up at her curiously.

Tifa took in the chubby cherubic faces of the twin with their large blue eyes, looked like they were baby models and melted. "Nice you to meet you" she gushed bending over to introduce herself to them.

Genesis suddenly felt uncomfortable about her seeing what offspring of his family might look like and his niece and nephew who were always show stealers wherever they went, suddenly they seemed like liabilities.

"Let's play horsie" Amelia demanded.

"No, hide and seek" her brother said with what was supposed to be an intimidating frown but simply looked adorable.

"Children, you're uncle just got here, he'll play with you later" Elena as she walked forward with her husband and father-in-law in tow. "You must be Tifa, I'm Elena. Pleased to meet you. You already met Reno and our unholy monsters and this is Barret" Elena greeted the other woman warmly.

Tifa smiled politely when she looked at the largest black male she had ever seen in her life. He reminded her of this cartoon character she had seen in a comic book once called The Hulk, only not green. She had been given to understand that Genesis's father's name was Barret but then who...she wondered as she stared at the giant of a man, with his immaculate pastel outfit that failed to disguise his musculature, neatly clipped flat top hairstyle and wide friendly smile. However who he was was confirmed as Genesis stepped forward to embrace him.

"Hi Dad" he said.

"Tifa this is my father" he said.

Barret could see the question on her face that the obviously polite young woman wouldn't dare ask. "My wife was one of those freckle-less porcelain beauties with flame red hair like Reno's, it seems that her ginger genes were dominate compared to mine" he explained.

"So you're biracial?" she asked Genesis who looked so tiny, frail and pale beside the hunk of a man that was his father.

"Yes" Genesis said, he had purposefully not told her due to some women having a problem with it in the past, but then then other women in the past hadn't really mattered...he felt confused by this shock and found himself studying Tifa for her reaction but she was just smiling at everyone and his father was included in it and felt relieved. But he felt he shouldn't have worried, Tifa was kind to everyone.

"I didn't know what to make of it when first Reno and then Genesis were born but I love my gingers" Barret said.

Tifa smiled and laughed when he shrugged. "Genetics are funny beasts, you should see my brothers; none of us look alike. It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Rhapsodos" Tifa said and she lightly blushed when large arms came around her and she was hugged against that huge body, she wrapped her own arms around the barrel-liked body and patted his back and then he stepped back.

"Please call me Barret. I'm terribly sorry for being so forward but I already feel like I know you" he apologized, giving one of her tiny hands an oddly gentle pat with one of his own baseballs mitt sized one. "Any friend of my Little Old Maid is a friend of mine."

"Men can't be little old maids" Genesis said sourly and Barret chuckled and slapped him on the back and that almost caused him to topple over.

"No harm done, Barret. Do all of Genesis's ladies get so friendly a greeting when they come for a visit?" she teased him, liking him immediately. Everyone glanced at each other.

"He's never brought anyone to meet us before" Barret explained.

"It wasn't like I was the one doing the inviting, I'm a private person" Genesis said and then felt a stab of guilt at how Tifa looked hurt at this. "But it's my pleasure to introduce her to you" he added.

"Let's have some cocktails while dinner's being prepared" Elena suggested.

"He shouldn't be drinking, he had flu medication" Tifa said.

He crossed his arms over his chest "Elena suggested cocktails, they don't intend to get me drunk" he said with finality in his voice.

"Perhaps you shouldn't" Barret agreed.

"We can make you a mocktail with a mini umbrella and lots of fruit in it" Reno said putting his arm around his brother. "By the way, you're in your regular room and Tifa's in the green room."

"Excuse me but we're not teenagers, she's sleeping with me" Genesis demanded.

"You're not married" Barret said with a frown.

"You do realize were both adults?" Genesis said to his look of disapproval.

"We're just kidding, we put you both in the Auburn wing" Reno explained.

Genesis stopped short and seemed to go pale "why?" he asked him.

"What is the Auburn wing?" Tifa asked, going to touch his back out of concern for his extreme reaction.

"When the boys got to adulthood I decided they needed their privacy when they married so I remodeled the place and added to wings so if they decided to marry, they would have their own suites of rooms independent from the main house" Barret explained.

"Our wing is called the Crimson wing" Reno explained to her.

"You named them after their hair colour?" Tifa with a chuckle and Genesis failed to look amused at this.

Tifa walked about the room in a trance, as she had every part of the mansion not able to believe that this much space contained only Barret, one married couple and their two small children. The house she had grown up in was comfortable enough but two pairs of boys shared two rooms and only the eldest Zack and herself had their own rooms. Their house was constantly busy with having some many children there with their social lives, hobbies and friends. Yet she had loved her home, but this was something else. She couldn't see the need for so much space. The wings Barret had built for his growing boys out of love had been designed according their personal tastes he had observed in them with nothing permanent should they chose to redecorate. For Genesis, everything was in the colour red. The master bedroom was huge with two walkin closets that were obviously meant for a husband and a wife based on the set up. Tifa walked to where there was a vanity, she lifted the heavy silver brush to find it contained no hair.

"It must be for you, it wasn't there the last time" Genesis observed where he was slipping into a dark red suit.

"I could never use this, it looks expensive" she objected. "I have my hairbrush with me and I can use the mirror in the bathroom" she said with a blush realizing that her own face creams, moisturizer and every thing was on the surface of it along with the single tube of lipstick she had.

"Well if you're not going to use it, I shall" he said and took it from her and took a strand of her hair and started brush it.

"What are you doing?" She asked him, turning around.

"I didn't say I was going to use it on my hair. Reno wouldn't let me hear the end of it if I used something so girly on myself" he said to her with a teasing smile.

"I can brush my own hair" she insisted.

"I want to brush it" he insisted.

"Okay but I want to" he insisted and she showed him how and she seemed to go into a trance at the feeling of the gentle steady stokes "you're so beautiful" he said.

"So are you" she replied.

"Men are not beautiful, they are handsome" he corrected her while keeping up his hypnotic strokes."You have a bit of a hair kink. That explains super long hair, it seems you like having someone play with it" he observed.

"My mother liked my hair long" she explained and then added, "I do not, keep your perversions to yourself" she retorted and he watched her remove her plain white blouse and knee length skirt and get into a red cocktail dress with spaghetti straps and a slit up one side.

"Where did you get that dress?" He asked her, noting how it displayed a generous amount of her abundant bosom without it being inappropriate.

"It was my prom dress, I don't have a lot of formal wear and thought we might have to dress for dinner" she admitted.

"Yet it still fits you, that's commendable and I certainly do envy whomever your date was. You look lovely" he declared as he did about practically anything she wore. This was another thing she liked about him, he was never stingy with compliments and a true gentleman. In many ways he was the perfect lover and friend, he had been there for her true to his word after her breakup and had provided innocent affection or mind numbing orgasms as her mood dictated. He had taught her much about love play and seemed to know more about female anatomy than he had any right to. He patiently explained and showed her the location of her g-spot, the a-spot she'd never even heard about and his long fingers found both on her easily and triggered orgasms on both within seconds. He went on to explain that because of his endowment he found her a-spot every time they copulated and that was why he made her cum so easily, making her feel less of a freak. Their sex life had sweetened over time and her screaming during orgasms had lessened as her grief did until she was moaning out his name at her crisis and he responded in turn. He became her focus, giving herself to him completely, holding back no part of herself and he'd welcomed her into his life. She sensed a loneliness in him and had started to think nothing of simply knocking on his door and asking if he was free for dinner, wanted to hang out and snuggle or take her to bed and he seemed to appreciate this.

"I'm ready unless you feel I should ring for a tiara" she said going into the washroom.

"There is a family tiara but technically that belongs to Elena as the lady of the house. But all new brides wear it who marry into our family. Elena hates wearing jewelry and only wears it when required. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you wanted to borrow it. Shall I ask her?" Genesis called as he straighten the collar on his black shirt and adjusted red tie that matched his suit.

"No that isn't necessary" she called to him and wiped herself and stood up and then feeling wicked, she removed her panties so she was bare beneath her gown. Her dress had a built in bra and gave a little extra lift of her large globes. She thought it might give Genesis a little thrill to discover her secret when they were alone together and she couldn't believe she was being so daring.

She stepped out and studied her date in his designer suit, thinking he looked good enough to eat. "Shall we?" He asked her offering his arm to her. She took it they left the suite.

All eyes turned to study beautiful couple and Elena greeted them wearing a simple but beautiful cream coloured gown. "Tifa you look so beautiful. Reno explained that he left you little time to prepare for your visit. Please either feel free to borrow anything you want from my closet or I'll take you shopping" she explained.

"Thanks, I would like that" Tifa said feeling touched.

"Would you to care for a drink?" Barret asked them from where he was playing bartender.

"I'll have a dirty martini with two olives and she'll have a spicy caesar with horseradish" Genesis requested.

"Coming right up" Barret said.

"I'm having a real drink" Genesis said to Tifa's look of disapproval.

"Okay but go easy on them" she all but ordered him.

"Yes mom" he said giving her a boyish smile.

She was about to retort when an impressively built young man came into the room wearing a well fitted tuxedo. He had light brown hair of varying lengths that terminated at his wide shoulders that would have looked silly on someone less handsome. However his face was almost pretty with blue-grey eyes. "Shall we get this party started? Hello you must be Tifa Highwind, I'm Squall Leonhart. I understand you're up visiting with my aged cousin. How dreary, please allow me to entertain you" he said taking her hand and bending over it to kiss it.

"Squall what do you think you're doing, she's my..." Genesis hissed at him.

"She's your what?" He asked him sweetly.

"We have an arrangement, I'm with her exclusively" Genesis explained to him.

"Oh are you with him exclusively?" He asked her.

Tifa had just been stunned by the exchange "of course I am" she said looking at him like he was a perfect idiot and this caused Genesis to snicker. "What you do mean by aged?" She asked him.

"I'm twenty eight, making Genesis four years older than me" Squall said giving her a charming smile.

"I'm thirty two, I'm hardly..." Genesis objected.

"Boys, dinner's ready" Barret said.

"May I escort you to dinner?" both men said at the same time.

"She's with me, I get to escort her" Genesis insisted.

"I was appointed as her date, I should escort her if only to preserve her honour. Who know what matter of perversities you would try with her on the way to dinner?" Squall insisted.

"I'm a gentlemen who knows how to behave as one in public, unlike some uncouth lotharios I could mention" Genesis shot back.

"Come Tifa, let me escort you to dinner" Barret suggested offering her one tree trunk sized arm. She took it.

"I thought you would never ask" she said looking over her shoulder at her would-be suitors and they hurried after her. So it ended up with one male seated on each side of her and blatantly flirting and vying for her attention. Yet she found herself distracted.

Her eyes went wide to feel Genesis' parting the slit of her dress and his hand resting on her knee and she instinctively parted her legs. She blushed as his long, slender digits slid painfully slow along the smooth flesh of her thigh until they were practically brushing the nest of well manicured curls at her groin. She didn't know why but she was already wet with arousal despite the setting. The fingers then stroked up and down her soft pelt before parting her glistening lips and began toying with the soft folds there and circling on the hard kernel of her arousal before a single digit entered her while the long thumb almost lazily circled on her hot button until her thighs themselves became damp. She tried to look impassive at his gentle torture. Then she reached over and groped for the belt of his pants and unfastened it, his zipper parted easily and reaching into his underwear, she quickly fished out his heavy tool. Unable to help herself anymore, she straddled his chair while he guided her hips and with a swift lunge downwards she was impaled on him and shameless moaned as she rode him before him family to their gasps of shock and...

"Tifa are you okay?" Genesis asked her from his place at her side where he did nothing more than have one of her hands in his own and ran his thumb over the back of it possessively while Squall blatantly flirted with her.

"I'm fine?" She said with a blush, wondering where those perverted thoughts had come from. Why was she so turned on? She didn't have any voyeuristic tendencies. She had had a mild interest in having sex at work but they had easily satisfied that. The microfiche room could be locked and the only window was on the door, which could easily be covered with a piece of paper.

"You look all flushed" Genesis said cupping her chin and examining her with nothing more than concern for her in his eyes.

"I'm fine" she said acutely embarrassed at his attention.

"Perhaps I gave you my flu? Do you want me to take you to a doctor? Or I could summon one here" he offered and she blushed even deeper at the idea of a doctor listening to her symptoms and advising Genesis to take her to bed and give her a good screw. Was she losing her mind? She was just fantasizing about claiming Genesis in front of his family. Wait...claiming?

"It's just a little warm in here" she assured him.

"Iced water please" Genesis requested of the maid and felt her forehead."You don't seem to have a fever. Should I put you to bed just in case?" He asked her in so innocent a tone that her blush darkened to a puce colour.

"No...please don't fuss so Gen" she requested of him.

"Are you okay?" Barret asked her.

Tifa wished she could sink into the floor at the attention she was receiving from the family. "I'm just fine" she assured them while her brain supplied it was nothing that couldn't be solved by being alone with their prodical son for an hour or two.

"Are you sure?" Genesis asked her, frowning at her.

"Shall I escort you outside for some fresh air?" Squall asked her.

"Don't fuss baby brother, she's probably just tired from looking after a difficult patient all week long" Reno cut in.

"I'm fine, just eat. You've lost weight due to being ill" she reminded him.

"Don't worry about that Tifa, the way we eat around here. He'll be the chubby little boy he was in no time" Barret assured him.

"I was never chubby" Genesis insisted.

"I'll break out the family photo albums after dinner" Barret promised Tifa.

"You wouldn't" Reno said.

Both woman laughed seated on either side of the gracious black man "this is Genesis getting his first bath, look at the size of that wiener and he's just a few days old. The boys do take after me in some respects" Barret explained pointing to a picture of his younger self bathing a tiny squirming baby with a tiny red hairs on his head.

"Dad can you stop? This is embarrassing" Genesis complained.

"I don't think it's so bad..." Reno said.

"This is Reno when he was three, if you're wondering why he's naked and wearing fairy wings, I really don't know. He spent an entire summer that way and claimed he was a fairy" Barret said with a shrug to more laughter.

"Dad did you put together the most embarrassing photos of us into a single album?" Reno asked him, changing his tune.

"You poor bastards, at least I'm not in any of the..." Squall said.

"Here's Squall visiting us, all three of them decided to dress in my wife's clothes and have a tea party" Barret indicated to the picture of the two little redheaded boys and a gap toothed Squall pretending to pour tea seated at a table with various teddy bears.

"How much for the photo?" Squall asked Barret.

"Sorry I'm already rich, so this precious memory is staying right here with me to show to your future girlfriend or spouse" Barret sweetly said. "Now let's open another album, this one's name is skinny dipping" he explained.

"Really Dad?" Genesis said sourly and his father shot him a wide, white toothy grin and continued with a delighted woman in either side of him while all three men fumed.

Tifa actually sat before the black wrought iron vanity on the plush red upholstered stool and looked at herself in the mirror and used it to examine the impossibly large bed with its red leather frame and huge padded headboard where Genesis was removing his suit. She felt guilty for being there, as if it was all a lie because she realized that she was about to sleep in the chamber he would have probably his wedding night in. But she was...so little to him. If he were to marry, he would live here with his legally wedded wife and this made her sad yet yearn for him at the same time. Again with the illusions as he hung up his suit but set it aside from the others to receive the maid's attention in the morning. Wearing just his boxer shorts, he turned down the bedding and watched Tifa get ready for bed. Her hair hung down her back and he could see her beautiful face reflected in the mirror. She wore only a short diaphanous nightgown for once that did wonders for her busty yet slim figure. He had never seen the point of such garments if they concealed nothing and could hardly keep the wearer warm, but they did look marvelous on her. She had explained growing up in a family of so many boys, sleeping naked wasn't an option but she could with him. He watched her simple yet mysterious routine of moistening her skin and tried to control his libido. He had never slept in this bed before, refusing on principal and always stayed only in his childhood room. But having her there and filling the role his father wanted him to with someone...he suddenly wanted her as he never had before. What was this? He questioned, it was just a bed, no more or less than any other bed and she was just a woman...a very attractive woman with a heart of gold that he...

"Tifa come to bed" he almost pleaded with her.

"Okay impatient one" she said and he used the remote to turn out all lights but the fake fire place that was close to them, knowing the effect of how fire played on the body of a pallid ginger, how it ignited the red of his hair and at his groin and played along his muscular form as he stepped out of his boxers and got into bed. She got in beside him and was startled when he was suddenly looming over her.

"What do you want?" She asked him.

"You" he said reaching under her nightgown to place his hand on her flat belly.

She swallowed, the desire she had killed in herself returning one thousand fold. "But you've been sick" she protested.

"I was and not I'm not. That I recovered so fast is a testament to your excellent care of me but I need you another way as a man does a woman" he said as his other hand joined the first to reach up and stroke and pluck the swollen tips of her puffy nipples until she fisted her hands in the sheets and light moaned and he bent his head and suckled first one then the other, creating damp patches on the flimsy material covering them.

"But this bed..." She protested as his one hand abandon the happy pursuit of stimulating her nipples and slid down, down, down to cup her sex, he could feel her heat and...he frowned when a finger inserted into her core informed him what he suspected, she was soaked!

"Let me have you, I want to love you" he whispered his eyes boring into hers and she leaned up and took his lips and with a yank her nightgown joined his boxers on the floor. He reached for a condom but her hand stopped his.

"You know I'm on the pill, I have been for years and you know I take one a day, you've seen me. You also know I don't have HIV or any STDS. I want us to make love skin on skin. The pill will protect us. You've never had sex without a condom and I want to show you how it feels. It's safe" she assured him.

"I don't know. I was always told..." he said.

"We're both clean and I want to give you this experience. Please" she said.

Wordlessly he got between her legs, they had tried every position in the book but missionary was her favourite and he certainly liked it too. To be able to kiss her, have his arms around her and watch her was almost too erotic for words alone. He carefully entered her noting the slight wince that she said perfectly married slight pain with pleasure each and every time he breeched her tight passage. Finally seated in her, he stayed still, allowing her the sweet feeling of being so full (her words) but this time he gasped out in surprise at how it felt to experience her incredible tightness along with her wetness, it was like he could feel every nuance of her pussy. He rocked into her experimentally and almost came at how this changed the degree of how she gripped him. She still retained her virgin tightness no matter how often they had sex. She had felt incredible before but now it was almost religious an experience to be gripped so divinely.

He rocked forward into the taut body of his lover holding just enough of his weight so that he wouldn't hurt her, knowing she relished the sweet weight of him on her own small form. Each thrust into her depths kissed and stimulated her cervix, he had been lucky enough to find a woman who enjoyed it. He gave her all his length, cuddling her so her head rested on the palm of his hand as his tongue in her mouth mimicked the motions of him inside her. Her pale lips gasped against his own and her mouth fell away as her first orgasm washed over her and the world seemed to shimmer around her before her dilated eyes slid shut. He liked watching her as she came, how her mouth would form a perfect o as she heaved beneath him.

Her body guided his own with her responds, whether to remain slow, steady and deep as she moved with him or whether to hammer into her as her legs tightened her even further on his naked cock head. By adjusting his angle, he found that sweet spot buried so deep inside of her and struck it again and again until he set off a series of multi orgasms that hit her like hurricane and with a final lunge, he buried himself as deeply inside her as possible and came heavily into her, riding out the maelstrom with her.

"I never knew it could feel like this" he said as he collapsed beside her feeling winded.

"I told you it feels better without a condom" she said she snuggled up to him. "We don't need the wretched things from now on" she declared.

He looked at her so flushed and happy from their love making and remembered how he had promised to end them when she requested and wondered if he could.
