Slave of Love – Chapter 8

Author's POV

It was a warm day. The wind rushed through the fields, lifting dry leaves into the air, bringing them to other places. Some journeys were short lived, while others were going on for what seemed like forever.

One of them landed on the window sill of the room where our favourite hedgehogs were still asleep, holding each other tightly, but gently.

Suddenly, the ear of the blue one twitched as he groaned and opened his eyes, yawning.

Sonic's POV

Man, what a nightmare. I've always saw crazy things when I'm asleep, but this…

My thoughts were interrupted by a weight on my torso, preventing me from getting up.

I looked around and noticed Amy peacefully sleeping beside me. My eyes widened as my imaginations of what happened went wild, but then I saw that she was still wearing clothes.

I sighed in relief. I lied back down and was about to unwrap her arms from around my back as her grip on me tightened. She stirred slightly and buried her face into my chest. I chuckled as her warm breath tickled me.

I pulled her closer to me and kissed her forehead.

She stirred again and opened her eyes, greeting me with deep pools of jade green. "Sonic?" she whispered. I nodded and smiled. "Sonikku!" she squealed and lunged at me.

I laughed as the force of her hug knocked us down on the ground. We rolled around, nuzzling each other, when reality hit me right in the face. "Crap…" I mumbled. "What's wrong?" she asked. "I've got work to do. Your father will kill me if he sees me here with you!" I replied, panicking. "He will shout at you and they'll slash me again and—"I was interrupted by her lips pressing onto mine. I immediately calmed down and melted into the kiss, returning the favour. It was passionate, yes, but not hungrily. Just a sweet and innocent kiss, showing how much affection we had for each other.

I caressed her head, pulling her closer to me and deepening the kiss as she entangled her hands in my quills. We just lay there on the ground, kissing passionately, as we heard a knock on the door. We broke apart as Amy shushed me into her wardrobe. I closed the door behind me and waited.

Author's POV

As soon as Sonic was hidden away in the wardrobe, Amy put on a dressing gown and went to open a door. A little rabbit was standing in front of her, carrying a tray with eggs, pancakes, grape juice and other delicious things in her hands. "Here, I made breakfast for you and Mr. Sonic, Mistress!" she smiled and handed the Amy the tray, whose eyes widened. "Does-?" – "No, your father doesn't know that he's here and you're secrets safe with me." she promised, smiling widely at the rose-colored hedgehog. "Thanks, uhm…" – "My name is Cream, Cream the Rabbit." – "It's nice to meet you, Cream!" – "The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Amy." she told her as she bowed and rushed away to prepare breakfast for Amy's father.

Amy's POV

I closed the door behind me and locked it, not wanting that father bursts in 'by mistake' and sees Sonic here. I put the tray on the bedside table and opened my wardrobe.

Sonic stepped out of it and hugged me. I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Do you know Cream?" I asked him. "Yeah, nice lil' kid. Always polite and stuff. Everyone likes her. She's like the little sister I've never had, but she still calls me 'Mr. Sonic'." he told me and chuckled. "She made us breakfast. C'mon!" I replied as I pulled him down with me.

We both sat on the bed as I tookt the tray and put it on my lap.

Picking up a fork and a knive, I cut a piece of pancake and dipped it into the apple sauce.

I was about to put it in my mouth as I noticed that Sonic's mouth was slightly opened.

I grinned and put my piece into it. His eyes widened, but he let me feed him as I giggled quietly. Soon, he started doing the same to me. I laughed out loud as he did so. He just grinned, enjoying himself.

As we had finished our breakfast, I put the tray aside while Sonic crawled behind me. I leaned back against him as he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder, his warm breath tickling me. I giggled slightly at that feeling, but froze as I noticed Sonic's evil smile. 'Uh oh…'

I tried to get away, but he had me already pinned down to the bed. I gulped as he hovered over me, his hands traveling down my waist.

And then, the torture started. I laughed out loud as he started tickling me. Escape was useless, 'cause he had a strong grip on me. "STAHAHAP IHAHAT SHAHAHANHAHAHIC!" I laughed as tears came to my eyes. Sonic just grinned. "Nope, I wanna hear you beg!" he replied as he tickled me harder. I squirmed under him, trying to turn the tables. I suppressed my instincts to push him away and took hold of his arms. He seemed taken a back for a moment and I took the chance and rolled him under me.

"Now it's my turn!" I said as I grinned evily. Sonic grinned back, which left me confused. "Oh, really?" he asked. I was about to answer as he crushed his lips against mine. I immediately forgot what I was up to as I melted into the kiss, his lips molding into mine.

He rolled me back around so that he was once again on top of me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me.

Author's POV

As the two hedgehogs were busy with kissing each other, they didn't notice the door opening slightly and a young rabbit peeking in, smiling silently to herself.
