Hey guys! The awaited chapter is here! Sorry for the unbelievable time it took to write this. So, this isn't the chapter with the lemon in it. It's the next one. Enjoy it anyways!

Shadow looked around. The whole house was submerged in a pool of darkness. Shadow felt a hand on his.

"You okay Shadow?"

Shadow nodded. "Yeah." He looked around. "Now what?" Maddie grinned, not that Shadow knew. He could barely see a few feet in front of him. "Want to play a little game?" Maddie said. Shadow was about to ask her what game when something in her voice caught his attention. It sounded like a hint of lust. Shadow shook his head. "Eh, sure." No response.

Shadow looked around. He walked around for a few steps and tripped over a small table. He landed on his chest. He groaned, cursing loudly. He heard someone giggle and something brush softly against his leg. He lunged for it, grinning. He missed his mark. He thought about cursing again, when he thought of an idea.

He stood still, barely breathing. He felt something brush against him again, and he took action. He pounced on it, and dragged it close to his body. Piercing through the darkness, he saw midnight blue eyes. "Got you." Shadow said, his grin shooting through the darkness as well. He felt his hand creep along the floor and onto her stomach. There, his fingers lashed out into a fury of tickling.

Maddie gasped and laughed. "Oh I—Shadow!!!" She squealed, squirming. Shadow crawled on top of her, pinning her limbs down. "You're not leaving that easily." Maddie laughed and gasped more. "I, oh, Shadow! Th--This is cr—cruel!" Maddie felt her guts about to burst. Shadow wouldn't let his prisoner go. "Say it. Say I win." "N—Never!" Maddie panted, squirming some more. Shadow smirked; his eyes flashed a dangerous glint. "Oh, stubborn are we?" He increased his tickling. Maddie felt her face heat up. She knew she had to give in.

"I-oh—you win!" She managed to pant. "What was that? I couldn't hear you." Shadow said mockingly. "I—uh—YOU WIN!!" She shouted. She let out a sigh of relief as she felt his tickling cease. Shadow got off of her, and she staggered to her feet. Shadow punched her softly on the arm. "You never told me you were ticklish." Maddie rolled her eyes.

Another giant sound wave of thunder smashed into the house. Maddie yelled and threw herself into Shadow's arms. Shadow blushed, but held her. Soon, he pulled her closer and whispered in her ear.

"You never told me you were scared of loud noises. Hell, you never told me a lot of fucking things about."

Maddie lifted her head, grinning. "Shut up." Then realized she was hugging Shadow. She quickly jumped away from him. Shadow felt a bit disappointed, liking the feeling of her body being so close to his…

"I'm sorry Shadow!" she exclaimed, a shade of red flushing her cheeks. Shadow smiled. "Don't worry." Maddie sighed, running a hand through her quills. "I need to change into my PJs. Do you mind?" Shadow shook his head. "No! Not at all. Take your time." Maddie nodded and began to walk to her stairs. "You can hang out around my house." She disappeared up the stairs. Shadow settled in a chair next to him. Soon his thoughts fell to Maddie.

There's no denying, I love her. I am going to tell her.

Shadow got up, his heart beating wildly in his chest. He forgot the fact that she was changing. He stomped up the stairs. He approached her door. He breathed in deeply, and flung open the door. "Maddie, I…!" His face immediately turned red.

Maddie was naked in front of him. Luckily (or unluckily, whatever you consider it), her back was turned to him. Her ass and other "lower regions" were hidden behind her bed. "Shadow…!" Shadow sat slack-jawed, not believing his mistake. "Maddie, I, err…" Maddie didn't seem the littlest mad. "Just, relax on my bed, let me put something on." She walked into her bathroom.

Shadow sat on her bed, the image of her wonderful nude body still carved in his mind. Those wonderful curvy waists…those hips…"Oh shit…" Shadow mumbled as he saw a bulge rise in his pants. "Oh, fuck. This cannot be happening. Damn you stupid cock." Shadow noticed if he sat with his legs together, no one could see it. He felt awkward sitting in this position, but anything to conceal his arousal.

Maddie walked out again, in a white robe. It didn't help Shadow. It seemed to end right where her wonderful legs started. Shadow felt the bulge in his pants grow a little more. He watched those legs prance and move over to him.

"So, Shadow, need anything?" she asked, crossing her legs. Shadow tried hard not to blush. "I, uh, need to, uh…" Maddie noticed how he was sitting. "Shadow? Are you okay?" Shadow couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her and attacked her lips with his.

The world melted around them as their lips locked. Maddie was surprised, but soon wrapped her arms around his neck. Maddie slyly slipped her tongue inside his mouth. She felt his tongue, and both of their tongues danced with each other. Shadow no longer cared about the bulge in his pants. He felt Maddie's legs wrap around his waist.

Soon, their tongue waltz had to stop. They pressed their foreheads and looked deeply into each other's eyes.

"Oh, Maddie…" Shadow sighed. "I love you. Why didn't I tell you before?" Maddie kissed him on the cheek. "I love you too…" Then she noticed his crotch area. "Someone wants to play, huh?" Shadow looked down, and the bulge in his pants was clearly visible. "Oh, shit!" Shadow yelled. "Maddie, I'm so—"Maddie quieted him with a wave of her hand. "Shadow…" she whispered, putting a finger on his chest. "If you want, you're welcome to have it."

Shadow knew what she meant. "I, are you sure?!?" Maddie nodded. "I'm a virgin, but I learn quickly." Shadow nodded. "Ditto." Maddie lay down on the bed, winking.

"Come and get me big boy."
