CHAPTER 7

A THING CALLED LOVE

The next morning, Shadow and Rouge were in Shadow's bedroom.

Rouge was sitting on his bed while she watched him stare at his reflection in the mirror that set on the floor in front of him.

Shadow couldn't get over how different he had looked wearing his new military uniform. He wore a long black trench tailcoat with gold buttons, black fitted pants, knee high black boots, a black military hat, and three gold stars were pinned on the upper right chest area of his coat. He looked like he had actually belonged in the military.

Rouge was impressed with how he had looked wearing the uniform. "The uniform fits you well, Shad. You look very handsome."

He turned to her and saw her wearing her usual purple uniform. He formed a sly look towards her. "Heh, I know I do."

She made a small teasing smile, "…You look too good. You wouldn't be trying to impress Miss Lien-Da would you?"

He let out a light sight and shook his head slightly towards her. "…Stop it. I thought I told you I have no interest in her whatsoever."

She nodded her head slightly then shifted her eyes away from him. She regretted even bringing up her name. All it did was cause problems between the two. "Yeah you did…I'm just…being stupid."

He walked over to her and sat next to her on the bed. He held her hand as he looked into her eyes. "I won't lie and say things won't be a little different between us now. We won't be beside each other everyday like we were. You'll be busy with the Chaotix and I'm a military lieutenant now. We're gonna be on two entirely different schedules."

She couldn't help but to look away from him in sadness. "So this is the part in the relationship where we start distancing ourselves from each other…"

He was beginning to become frustrated with her and her attitude. It was like everything he was saying to her had always backfired on him. Today was supposed to be a good, clean, and fresh start for him. He wanted Rouge to support him but so far, she was just bringing both of their days down. "Rouge, just because I have another job it doesn't mean we don't get to ever see each other. You have my number and you know you're always welcome here."

She looked back at him and nodded as she agreed with him. She watched him take her hand and kiss it gently.

"My love for you will never fade…remember that."

She looked back at him and smiled warmly. She suddenly saw him reaching inside of his coat pocket. She saw him placing something small in the palm of her hand. She looked closely and saw a silver heart shaped locket necklace placed in her hand. Her eyes lit up in admiration of it. "Oh my God…Shadow, it's beautiful…"

He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder. "Open it."

She slowly opened the locket and saw that it had a citation carved inside of it. Her smile widened as she glanced through the words. "Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is wholesome. Love is forever…" She turned to him happily, "Oh Shadow, I love it!"

He took his head from her shoulder and caressed her cheek with his hand. "And I love you, Rouge. So much…" He watched her lean close to him and started to kiss him passionately. While their tongues danced inside of each other's mouths, he noticed how she was rubbing her body against his. She then practically tackled him down onto the bed and got on top of him.

Shadow took his lips from hers and formed a small smile. "…This sucks."

She rested her forehead on his and started teasing him by grinding herself slightly over his lower stomach. "What sucks, sweetie?"

His hands playful started to caress her lower body. "Cause I wanna fuck you now."

She giggled softly, "Then why don't you just fuck me?"

"I have to be at work in thirty minutes…" He watched her kiss his lips once more and gave him a seductive smile after pulling away from him.

"Well that gives us all the more reason to be quick."

He paused and then gave her the same look back. "…I'm not taking this uniform off. It's too much shit." He then felt her hands move down to his lower region and heard his belt being undone.

"You don't have to worry about a thing, hun."

He felt her hands taking out his member and gently began to massage it.

Her hands stroked him gently until in no time, she could feel his manhood hardening.

Shadow let out a slight moan when he felt the warmth from Rouge's mouth being placed over his uprising member. He stroked his fingers through her white soft hair as she sucked him harder. "Fuck, Rouge…"

While she sucked him, her fingers continued to stroke all around his large shaft. She took her tongue and gently began to lick the tip of it playfully.

When Shadow thought he could no longer handle her constant teasing, he sat up from the bed and pulled her into a loving kiss.

While she passionately kissed her lover, she felt his hands traveling around her waist. In no time, she could feel her pants being taken off of her along with her boots and underwear. After when she heard the rustling of her clothes hitting the floor, she saw him position her body on top of him. She winced slightly as he slowly started to place himself inside of her. She made a small gasp as he forced himself deeper inside of her.

He wrapped his arms around her body lovingly. He leaned over to her and whispered softly into her ear. "I love you, Rouge."

She made a loving smile towards him as she could tell in his eyes that he truly meant how he really felt about her. "I love you too, Shadow."

He gave her a quick peck on the lips and began to thrust himself in and out of her slowly.

The room was filled with their small moans as the two made love to each other.

Rouge's moans grew louder as his thrusts had gotten faster. When she noticed that his movements were becoming more aggressive, she knew he was about to end their session together. She called his name out in orgasm as she felt his sudden warm rush fill inside of her throbbing opening. "Oh, Shadow!" She then collapsed on his body with sweat pouring from her head and her chest heaving in exhaustion.

While Shadow held her body in his arms, a small chuckle escaped him. "Babe, I love you but if you don't get off of me, I'm gonna have to beg Vector for my job back…"
