Chapter 2: The caring for her.

They didn't talk about the subject anymore that night, Euphimia couldn't sleep, so she "ordered" Suzaku to stay the night with her. "I feel so much safer when you're here…" she confessed. "Then why don't you make me work 24-7?" he joked. "I can guard you at daytime as usual and sleep here beside you at night." he smiled at her. "if you could stand me for such a long time everyday then!" he smiled a crooked smile, and she smiled back. "Ok, then!" she said suddenly. "I hereby order you to stay the night with me." Suzaku's smile disappeared. "Euphy… it was just a joke…" he said, but she shook her head. "No, I am serious, and I want you to be it too!" she smiled at him. (Can you blame him for taking this wrong?) "S-serious?" he managed to say and she nodded. Suzaku couldn't remember the last time he had blushed this much. Could it be because he never had? Euphimia smiled at him again. She had pulled her face away from his, so she saw that he was blushing. "What's the matter, Suzaku?" she seemed confused. "Oh, I-it's nothing really…" he stammered, but she didn't believe him. He looked down. "Are you sure?" suddenly he found her face only millimeters from his and he jumped backwards. Not because he didn't like it, but she simply gave him a fright. That little jump was enough to make him fall out of the bed. He slammed down on the floor and in the fall Euphimia had grabbed his hand to help. Witch apparently was a bad idea. She fell down with him and landed on top of him for the second time that evening. "Oh, my! I'm so sorry Suzaku!" she said, and sounded almost hysterical when she saw he had cut his arm on her bracelet. "Shh! Your highness, be quiet please!" he hissed, but she didn't listen. "if some of the guards come in they're going to tell princess Cornelia, and then I'm seriously screwed!" he thought, be he didn't have any of his hands free to cover her mouth with. He sighted and raised his upper body a little. Euphimia stopped talking as his face came closer. Her lips were too busy kissing Suzaku than to excuse herself. She pulled a little away at first, but Suzaku didn't want to give up on her soft lips just yet. He sat up a little more, pressing his lips against hers. Let them dance against each others. Euphimia had released his hands, and so he laid them carefully on her neck and pulled her towards himself.

What was wrong with him?! He just couldn't stop! Euphimia wasn't sure at first, but after a few seconds she took a hard grip in his shirt and pushed herself against him. The kiss lasted until Euphy didn't have any breath left, and so she pulled away taking a deep breath. Suzaku had this weird feeling inside… He felt like he had to use this chance to show her that he loved her. So he didn't say anything when she pulled away. Instead he sat up, and took her in his arms and carried her back to the bed. Then he whispered: "Princesses shouldn't lie on the floor…" he smiled and laid her back – on top of the blanket this time. Euphimia didn't say anything. She just stared at him with a thoughtful face. "I wonder what is going on in her heads right now…" Suzaku thought as he bent down to kiss her once more…

In the beginning Euphimia had been really shy. Now she answered his kisses passionally, and pushed herself against his warm body. He stood over her, leaning his weight on his elbows. Her arms were wrapped around his neck, and her fingers played with his hair, her eyes closed. Suzaku let his hands run from her shoulders,, down her arms, over her waist, and stopped them at her hips. "She was so beautiful." But even so he had to stop this… so he rolled over on the side, still with his hands on her hips. She followed him, and then they lay with their faces against each others. Or they would have if Euphy wasn't looking down. She was red and warm now, but even if she didn't look at him, she didn't pull away either. She didn't move. So Suzaku kissed her on the forehead, and sat up. Now she looked up on him. "I'm sorry, Euphy…" he whispered. "It just got out of hand…" She looked confused at him, but then she suddenly smiled. She sat up, took a good grip in his shirt. One of the buttons opened as she pulled herself up and she pressed her soft lips against his. He closed his eyes. Until he figured out what she was doing. Her ran down his chest, opening one button after the other. "No, I can't, it's wrong, I mean…" He stopped thinking. Slowly he pulled away, but she threw herself against him and pulled him back to her. Her face rested on his shoulder now, and her cool breath was tickling him. Not that it was relaxing, but it felt kind of good. It was just that he felt like he was crushing her…

He laid his arms around her waist, and pulled her closer. Then he rolled over on his back, and she was over him. She bent down to kiss his neck and he ran his fingers over her back, and played with her long, pink hair. There was only two or three buttons holding his shirt together. Euphy didn't even look what she was doing as she opened them; he let her take the entire shirt of off him. She simply dropped it on the floor and then turned back against him. He smiled at her where she sat on his lap with one lag on each side on his. Then he started to slowly finger with the lower part of her top, (on the back) but only with one hand. With the other he stroke her down her back, stopped at her hips and continued upwards under the top. She gasped, and tightened her fists. Suzaku felt like he was done playing. He pulled the top over her head in one movement. In the next second he pulled her close and kissed her passionally. His lips danced against hers and her fingers stroke the back of his shoulders, sending chills down his back. "Women must be witches…" he thought to himself. "At least I'm totally bewitched…" He pulled away, bent down and kissed her neck, her cheekbone, her cheek and so. Feeling. Tasting. Smelling. "What a lovely scent!" Euphimia stroke him somehow harder now. She closed her eyes, and her breath went fast. Suzaku stopped kissing her. He rested his head against the left side of her chest, counting heartbeats. Her heart was racing almost in the same rhythm as his own. He sighted, and closed his eyes. Euphimia's fingers played with his hair again. New chills went down his back. He moaned when her fingers stopped. Then he looked at her. Her face was shocked. "What's the matter? He didn't move.

Euphimia touched the lines on his back. They were scars after being wiped to be exact. "It's nothing, Euphy…" he whispered when he understood what the matter was. "How can you say that?" she whispered back. "Who did this to you?" Her eyes filled with tears. "Heh… I'm an Eleven after all…" he said short. "But it's wrong! You should be treated like a human, not some kind of animal!" Her voice was shivering. "Don't worry about it Euphy…" he said, but he didn't look at her. "Did this happen in the military?" she asked and he moaned annoyed. "I said, don't worry about it!" he said sharp. "You are in no position to give me orders, and I want to know!" she answered just as sharp. Suzaku didn't say anything. She lay her hand under his chin, and pulled his face up so that she could look him in the eyes. "Answer me knight Kururugi!" She said short, but yet unusually powerful. "Yes, your highness." He looked ashamed, and she let go of his chin. She looked away. Suzaku suddenly felt like smiling and laid his hand over hers. He sat right in front of him now in just her bra, and turned to see what he wanted. "I know I'm stubborn, and I'm sorry for that your highness, but…" he said with a serious face before he smiled and continued. "But would you still allow me to kiss you?" he teased, and Euphimia chuckled. She leant closer, and nodded once. Then she was pulled up on Suzaku's lap, and he smiled at her again. "You're so beautiful…" he said softly, and stroke her face with the back of his hand. Then he pushed his lips against hers, softly, sighing. She held on to him tightly, and they both closed their eyes.

After a few minutes Euphimia's skirt and Suzaku's pants had found their way to the floor, where they were keeping the shirt and top company. Euphimia lay on her back, and Suzaku was over her. She breathed heavily, but still she pulled him against her as he kissed and touched her. Her hips, her waist, her chest, her face… She kissed him back, letting him do it. She didn't allow him to stop. She didn't want him to! "S-Suzaku…" she whispered when her lips was free of his. He looked down at her smiling. She smiled back, and then she sat up against him and pushed him back. She was over him. Her hair tickled him on the chest when she kissed him and her cold hands felt good against his shoulders. His arms were wrapped around her, just loose… like he was afraid of breaking her. He pulled the blanket over her, and she lay down on her stomach between his legs. His hands felt their way over her back, until they found her bra-lock. With two fingers he flicked it open, and in the next second it fell to the floor together with her panties, and Suzaku's boxer shorts. Euphimia moaned of the sudden intensity and her face looked a little frightened. He stopped, and smiled at her stroking the back of his hand over her forehead and down her cheek. Then he stroked her down her chin, her throat to her collarbone before he stopped…

"Someone is outside…" Euphy whispered but Suzaku touched her lips with his own to keep her silent. He pulled back. "Be quiet…" he said, his voice full of love and Euphy nodded.
