I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been busy working on a 23min long MADLAX Video that goes along with (some of) the plot of this fanfiction:
(search for: Madlax and Vanessa centric version of the show MADLAX or check my profile page for the url) - if you watch it please leave comments :) enjoy... the update
Seconds after I shut the jeep door SSS called and described the dangers of Enfant's data traps and that they usually activate around midnight.
I placed the phone down, started the car then began my drive to the main part of town where I would buy a few things from the gun store.
When I arrived, I remembered the data disk, pulled it out my pocket, threw it in mid-air, grasped one of my guns then fired one shot, instantly breaking the disk into a number of shattered pieces.
This disk was only trouble.
Sure Vanessa came to Gazth-Sonika for this particular data, but her real aim is stopping the war, not mattering whether she uses three books or a simple disk to achieve her goal.
With a sigh I stepped out the jeep, shut my door then stormed inside the store.
There were glass displays of specialized assault riffles, different bullets and then of course what I came here to buy.
Contented with my purchase, I drove back to the woman awaiting my return.
I hid my purchase in a paper bag, then knocked on my own door.
A minute later the door swung open -Vanessa should really check whose at the door before opening it.
My face lit up when she eagerly pulled me passed the door, swung it shut then embraced me from the front for the first time.
Heat rose passed my neck unto my face while I experienced her clothed breasts press hard against mine.
My head fell to her shoulder, I purred once then whispered in her ear.
"Do me a favor Vanessa ... close your eyes then turn around."
She groaned inwardly but did what I asked, undoing the hug and turning around.
I killed the space between my chest and her back, threw my bag down, next placed both arms on her shoulders and warned.
"Don't open your eyes until I tell you to ... I trust you so trust me." - "Alright ... by the way, it's nice to know that you trust me."
This surprise she'd like, of that I was certain.
Gently my hands fell from Vanessa's shoulders and down to the last button of her shirt.
She squirmed once as I began to slowly unbutton her light pink shirt upwards.
I heard her mumble.
"What are you doing Madlax?"
A smile spread on my face as I slyly replied.
"Its a surprise ... just let me do this and don't open you eyes till I'm done with you."
She giggled.
"Okay then. Surprise me..."
The next part she mumbled underneath her breath, "Your already arousing my curiosity", as I undid a halfway button on her shirt.
Before continuing, I caressed the exposed skin of her lithe stomach, feeling the warm softness and her whimpers.
She didn't complain even once as I undid the last few buttons.
My fingers slowly removed her shirt, helping her slide her arms out the sleeves.
"Are you ready?"
I asked whilst bending down to clutch my purchase.
A strangely lustful reply came.
"Yes I'm ready for you Madlax. Actually I didn't think you'd be the one to do this."
For a second I became confused, I asked.
"Who else would do it?" - "I would."
Vanessa sincerely replied.
"I'm glad you feel the same way I do."
My confusion passed as I realized what she meant, what she thought my surprise was, what telling her to close her eyes then taking off her shirt looked like.
I smiled to myself, happy because she honestly confessed she wants me.
Softly I whispered in her left ear whilst taking her right arm and placing the newly purchased bulletproof vest on her body.
"This is my surprise for you Vanessa ... you can open your eyes now."
She complies, opens her eyes, turns to face me then blinks a few times in confusion.
I notice it, bring my right hand to her chest, next stroke a portion of her bra and let my hand travel to the vest.
I say.
"The bulletproof vest is my surprise for you Vanessa. I bought it for you to make sure you won't die when we're somewhere unsafe or traveling in my jeep. Hey you should know I do feel the same way you do, but that wasn't the surprise."
A slight blush forms on her cheeks as she first thanks then asks.
"Well I'm glad you're this concerned with my safety ... and to buy me protective gear with your own money. But Madlax, how is it you feel for me?" - "I care about you, I never want to let go of you and tonight I want to sleep with you as my blanket."
Her eyes sparkled at my true words, lips spread and blush left. As her attention came back, I informed coyly.
"It's passed 1:30AM so I guess I'll take a shower now, and you next ... that's unless you want to share."
Shock was the expression she gave as she heard the last part of my sentence.
Blush quickly returned, but she managed to express her wishes in a staggered voice.
"It is late and It'd be faster if we took a shower at the same time ... plus the sooner we finish our shower is the sooner we can sleep together so -let's share."
Taking a shower together wasn't a good idea.
We walked inside my small bathroom. I turned the water on then facing the shower began to undress with Vanessa behind me, and already halfway there.
I never saw her unclothed before, this would be a lot for me.
Just as I removed my red shirt, she tapped me on the shoulder, I swung around, and as I saw her firm breasts electrified jolts of desire seeped trough me.
My staring was noticeable.
Vanessa spoke to get my attention.
"Madlax I think the shower is ready. I'm getting in and when that clothes is off ...you may join me."
Before I could motion my eyes, she walked passed me into the by now steamy shower.
The black bra I was wearing fell to the carpet less floor, next my shorts and last my matching underwear.
I was nude and about to take a shower with a just as nude Vanessa who I desire more then anything in this world.
With a deep breath I stepped inside the small rectangular spot, facing Vanessa.
Our heights identical, her breasts slightly brushed against mine and our gazes met.
I managed to say.
"Um... so the soap is behind you, could you hand it here please." - "Sure Madlax, here you go."
Vanessa reached her left arm back, clutched a blue soap then handed it to me. Just as I took it, the soap slid out my hand, soared up towards the ceiling, bounced off, and then landed next to the drain.
Both of us dove down to pick it up, reached an arm out, her hand fell on top of mine, she flinched back, however I grabbed her by the wrist, causing us to fall uncomfortably atop each other in a confined space with fresh shower water gushing into my mouth.
I didn't dare open my eyes as I experienced the pressure of her body, the warm softness of her wet skin and her lips brushing against the lower part of my cheek.
A mumbled sentence escaped my mouth.
"This is my fault, Vanessa are you okay?"
Her lips edged to my ear, followed by warm breaths echoing trough my skin as she softly spoke.
"Don't worry I'm fine, after all I landed on you, so if anyone is hurt its you."
I breathlessly said.
"Oh that's nice to know Vanessa, but we can't lay down here like this forever ... this hard surface and you pressing me against it really hurts."
Taking my suggestion, she slid off me, and then pushed on my thighs to stand up.
As I turned over to get up, she reached out her right hand, I gazed at her exceedingly overjoyed expression, gave her my hand and let her pick me up to my feet.
Again we were standing face to face, naked and in a shower.
Surprise waved trough me as I felt her arms swing around my back, and pull me against her.
My heart trashed rapidly feeling her bare breasts press hard against my own, this whole time the dominant thoughts in my head were related to touching, tasting and smelling her, two of which I was currently doing.
As she crashed her head unto my left shoulder, I heard her whisper.
"Madlax I never felt this way about anyone. You're a beautiful girl who I want to hold, care for and protect. Listen after all of this is over, will you live with me, share my room in Nafrece?"
My lips crashed into her wet dark hair, I brushed them over the top of her head then honestly replied.
"Yes I will Vanessa. I want to be with you more then anything I've wanted."
A smile of genuine satisfaction spread over her lips, as she undid the embrace, stepped back, and slowly gazed at me from head to toe.
She focused her eyes particularly on my bare breasts, which made me blush, and then she did more, she subtly licked her lips whilst winking with her right eye.
A surge of desire rushed into me and wouldn't leave.
Vanessa knew her seduction worked, she noticed the rising heat and pleading expression on my face.
The tension rose as she reached her right arm out, cupped my chin, moved her face an inch from mine then whispered.
"Is it okay if I wash you?"
My facial expression became ever more pleading, I weakly nodded, confirming my agreement.
She let go of my face, grasped the blue bar of soap, next rubbed it against her other hand then placed the soaped up hand above my breasts.
With playfulness in her tone, she pointed out whilst caressing her fingers against my skin.
"Madlax you should know I'm using my hand, because it's more proficient then a sponge ... and it feels better against your skin -right?"
She proved her point by lowering her hand unto my right breast whilst caressing the skin under her in random patterns.
I breathlessly stated.
"Vanessa, listen, I don't want to do it in here."
Slight shades of pink formed on her cheeks as she kept practically feeling my breast.
In a playful voice she inquired.
"Do what in here ... you don't want to take a shower?"
I shook my head, then with my eyes shut and a defeated smile, I enlightened her.
"You know what I'm talking about, don't play dumb Vanessa I'm already yours. Anyways just in case you don't know ... I'm talking about making love."
Her hand slid passed my chest and stopped at the very bottom of my stomach, she asked.
"So that's what you don't want to do in here. Hey how about we finish this shower so we can do that somewhere else, as in?" - "On my couch."
She motioned her hand lower, giggled then pulled away before going too far.
I smiled at her for a moment longer before turning around, swinging open the shower curtains, stepping out, grabbing a towel then walking out passed the door.
She stayed in there for a few minutes freshening up whilst I dried my soaked body and hair off with the green towel.
Knowing there wasn't much time, I dashed up to my closet, swung the door open, next reached my hand into a clean laundry basket and pulled out one bathrobe for myself and a blanket for us tonight.
