"Don't act coy with me, Knuckie. Just give it a taste." Rouge giggled, staring down at the steamy echidna whose hands were tracing her fantastic hips. She was naked at the top of the altar, legs spread apart and waiting patiently to experience a whole new world of pleasure. He gave her a daring look, a tiny smirk gracing his handsome features. She lost herself in his violet orbs; he was too beautiful, too perfect underneath the green glow of the Master Emerald.

Finally, he rested his hands on her legs, sighing and shaking his head.

"It's been awhile since I've done this, so don't complain if my skills aren't up to par with what you usually receive." He responded, his eyes drifting down to her womanhood. He closed his eyes, momentarily relishing in her sweet scent. "Mmm… Batgirl." He whispered.

She bit her lip as he leaned in, slowly and sensuously jutting his tongue out. As soon as his tongue made contact she moaned.

"Aah…"


"Knuckles…" Was the first word the ivory bat uttered that morning. Her eyes slowly opened and she was met with harsh sunlight and the realization that she had a piercing headache. She flinched, immediately grabbing her forehead.

"Fuck," she growled with a glare on her face. This had been her thousandth dream about Knuckles. Okay, maybe that was an over exaggeration, but the fact still remained. Ever since he pushed her off Angel Island, she couldn't stop thinking about him. It started out with her performance in missions deteriorating. Then she found that going out on jewel heists was a bust. Every time she saw a beautifully crafted jewel, she half expected a well sculpted echidna to grab her by the hips and kiss her. Now, all she had left were her charms to have fun with different men around town – and her self-esteem had still dropped tremendously after being seduced by Knuckles.

The sun was really bothering her now though. She didn't even remember leaving the curtains open, but when she tried to get up she realized she couldn't because there was a weight on her chest. Looking down, she saw a rather muscular arm with ash gray fur. Her eyes trailed to its source. He was a bat. A bit cute, but not her type, and ultimately only good for a one night stand. Which, judging by the empty bottles of alcohol and clothes thrown sloppily on the floor, they did indeed have.

She removed his arm from her body, which was aching, and weakly trudged over, closing the curtains. At that exact moment, Shadow opened her door without knocking.

"Rouge, we have a mission – oh my God." He turned away, his muzzle completely red.

Rouge turned instantly, looking at Shadow. She looked down at herself. She was completely nude.

"Oh. Woops?" She said sheepishly, grabbing part of the blanket from her bed to cover herself.

"We… have a mission. Get dressed." Shadow muttered, refusing to look at Rouge.

"I'm somewhat decent. You don't have to close your eyes." Rouge replied.

"Oh please, you're never decent." Shadow said, allowing his crimson eyes to give her a disgusted glance.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rouge asked indignantly.

"It means stop whoring around!" He snapped, walking out of her room. He slammed the door shut, which in turn woke up Rouge's boy toy.

"Whaa – huh!?" The male bat said, clueless.

"Ugh." Rouge said, throwing his shirt and pants at him. "Get out of my apartment."

He frowned, putting his clothes on reluctantly.

"You sure you don't wanna go for round 2?"

"You could hardly handle me the first time. And I told you to leave." Rouge said, massaging her temple while making sure he couldn't see any part of her body.

He said nothing, sulkily walking towards her windows and opening the curtains, revealing the blinding sunlight once more. She waited until he had flown completely out of sight before closing it again.

Once she was completely showered and dressed, she walked into the living room, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge.

"Hurry it up, Rouge. Omega's ready to leave." Shadow said, frowning.

"I can't go." Rouge said, "I'll just slow you guys down. Can I stay home?" She looked at him, giving him a pout with her perfect, glossy lips.

"Fine." He said, "But when I get back, we're talking about this." He said accusingly, turning around and mumbling something that sounded like 'good-for-nothing slut.'

That stung a bit. Shadow was a very quiet person. He didn't show many emotions towards others, but they had been allies for a long time. If anything, she considered him her best friend. That didn't stop him from giving her the cold shoulder from time to time, unfortunately.

"Don't use that word to describe me, asshole!" Rouge shouted, throwing a pillow at him. But he had already slipped out of the door.

She jumped onto the couch, massaging her temple. She was out of her element, and it was interfering with her work, hobbies, and relationship with her teammates. She wanted to lie down and fall asleep, but part of herself stopped her from doing so. She knew she would dream about him and his touch. Lately, her dreams involving Knuckles consisted of them yelling at each other, then punching and kicking each other, then getting on top of each other, and right when things were about to get intimate, she woke up saying his name. It was an odd and somewhat disturbing cycle. The incident between them had happened a bit over two months ago, and despite having multiple opportunities to do so, she hadn't been to Angel Island ever since. Part of her was too scared to go. On the other hand, it was absolutely embarrassing. He reduced her from a sexy, confident temptress to a horny, desperate girl that was begging for him to take her right there on the overgrown grasses of the island.

"Ugh." She said, grimacing when she realized how gross she was. "Shadow was right." She said, though she would never admit that to him, because he would never let her live it down. She decided that she would spend the rest of the day watching cheesy romantic comedies and silently wishing that her love life could be like that. Her mind kept drifting back to Knuckles though.

In the middle of a lovemaking scene on her second rom com, Rouge began to squirm and feel uncomfortable. She felt as though she picked the wrong genre. Romance was the last thing she needed on her mind. Trying not to think of that stupid echidna was futile when everything in her was screaming that she needed him.

"Damn it! Damn it all! I need a drink." She said to herself, rummaging through her cabinets and even taking a peek at the fridge. But there was no liquor to be found.

"What the hell…?" She whispered to herself, looking everywhere throughout the house. She finally found a small piece of paper in one of the cabinets.

Okay, you're a pathetic drunk. Not judging though, considering I'M not exactly Mr. Perfect (even if I AM known as the Ultimate Lifeform). Point is we all have our flaws. Right now, yours is drinking. So I threw out all your liquor because even if you annoy the crap out of me, I care about you, okay? Plus as your roommate I'm tired of seeing all these sex-crazed guys coming to our apartment and thinking I'm your boyfriend. Get your shit together.
- Shadow

Rouge blinked a couple of times before crinkling it up and throwing it in the trash.

"Did that fucker forget that I own a bar?" She growled angrily. Access to alcohol wasn't a challenge for her at all. But the fact that she would have to walk a few extra steps to Club Rouge to get the fix she so desired was enough to set her off. To make sure he didn't miss any bottles, she double checked again, but came out empty handed. The only desirable beverage at hand was a fruit smoothie that had another note taped to it by Shadow. She skimmed through it, and it was basically the same message all over again, only this time it was about how water and fruit smoothies should be the only liquids rushing through her body. It had a bit of a sexual connotation to it, referring to the rise in her promiscuity ever since she had visited Knuckles.

She shrugged, grabbing a cup and drinking the smoothie. It was delicious, but it didn't change the fact that she was mad at Shadow for throwing out all her alcohol.

A couple of hours later, Shadow and Omega had come back home. As soon as Shadow opened the door Rouge was standing up and staring at him with a glare. Her hands were placed on either side of her curvy hips and her eye was twitching. She was trying her hardest to contain her anger, but it was difficult.

Unfortunately his eyes didn't even meet hers when he opened the door, he simply stepped past her, his arm brushing past hers. The action made her even angrier, but she tried to control herself.

"My sensors detect that your BAC level is at .00. Compared to your levels for the past two months this is slightly unusual." Omega said, his robotic and steel tone made her cringe. As much as she loved that robot, it was the last thing she needed to hear.

"Oh, shut up." Was all she bothered saying to him, waving him off and walking over to Shadow.

"That wasn't very nice." He reprimanded, as though she were his child.

"You know what else isn't nice? Taking my liquor and throwing it in the trash." Rouge said callously.

"I did it for your own good."

"I'm an adult; I can take care of myself and make my own decisions, Shadow. I don't give a shit if you're my roommate or not."

"You know better than to talk to me like that." Shadow said sharply, turning and facing her completely, his crimson eyes narrowing at her. "I can't even count how many times you've blacked out at your club or on the streets, leaving me to bring you home safely."

Rouge bit her lip, he had a point there. She never actually told him why she had been acting differently lately. As her main ally and best friend, he did have a right to know. But there was still one thing nagging at the back of her mind…

"That doesn't give you the excuse to call me a good for nothing slut."

She knew she caught him there when his piercing red eyes actually softened up a bit.

"…You heard that?" There was an air of uncertainty and a tinge of guilt in his words, but he still kept his cool.

"Yeah, I did."

"Okay, maybe it was a bit harsh. But I was upset; you can't blame me for being upset. But you're right. It was inappropriate to say, and I apologize."

Rouge felt herself soften up when he said that. She even gave him a tiny smirk.

"I forgive you. And… I need to talk to you about something."

"Does it have to do with why you stayed home today? Because we still have to discuss that." Shadow said, following her to the couch.

"Actually, yes. That, and why I've been… acting strange."

"I'm listening." He said, and by his posture and look in his ruby eyes, Rouge knew he actually was.

"So remember when we had those three days off, and I went out of town?"

"Yes..." Shadow said slowly.

"Well, I went to a night club for a couple of drinks and a bit of dirty dancing. And I met this guy, and I stole his watch. You know, that expensive one, right?"

"Okay?"

"I know I'm not making much sense, but just hear me out. I had a couple of drinks with the guy before I stole his watch. And we went out to the dance floor and I was grinding on him and everything, then he started touching me. You know, 'touching' me. So while he was preoccupied I snagged the watch. Then I ditched him."

"And now you feel guilty about it, and are developing bad drinking habits and sleeping with men who are susceptible to your charms as compensation?"

"What!? No!" Rouge face palmed, "I'm not done yet. I came home, and then I went to Angel Island. Remember that?"

Shadow nodded silently.

"When I went there, I saw this beautiful diamond necklace. It was seriously one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry I had ever seen. I was entranced. So I grabbed it, and I tried to leave the island without attracting any attention. But Knuckles saw me. And we started fighting over it. Can you believe that!?"

Shadow scoffed, "Of course I can. You two would fight over a pencil under certain circumstances."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you two are immature. But continue telling your story. I. Am. Captivated." He said in the most sarcastic voice ever, his face devoid of any form of emotion.

Rouge rolled her eyes.

"Okay, so I was running towards the edge of the island so I could jump down and fly off with the necklace. Then, he grabbed me and… he kissed me!" Rouge said, biting her lip. She began feeling embarrassed and knew her cheeks were flaming up.

"What? Was it a bad kiss?" Shadow asked.

"No!" She sighed when he smirked. "Ack… I didn't mean it like that. The kiss was good, and there was lots of touching. Like, a lot. But he only did it so he could grab the necklace and push me off of his island."

"Oh, I get it." He finally said, "So Knucklehead pulled a Rouge. Nice."

Rouge gave him a bitter look.

"Come on, you can't be mad at me for saying that. Look at yourself. Look at how you treat men. There's nothing wrong with asserting your sexuality, but sometimes you take it too far."

"I know. That's why I told you the first part of the story. I realized what he did to me was the same thing I did to Scourge."

Shadow's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Scourge? You stole that watch from Scourge?"

"Yeah. Why? You know him?"

"Yes, I do Rouge. And he's bad news."

Rouge's stomach did a flip when he said that. Having to worry about an admittedly sexy green hedgehog tailing her for an overpriced watch was the last thing she needed on top of being hung up over Knuckles' touch.

"How bad?" She asked, trying to keep her voice level, but Shadow could hear the fear.

He shook his head, feeling a bit regretful that he caused his beautiful bat friend any concern.

"Don't worry about it. You're an independent woman; you can take care of yourself." He said reassuringly.

"But what about me blacking out and you having to –"

"You know what, Rouge? I think you need to see Knuckles." He said, cutting her off, and secretly wanting the conversation to be over.

"Huh!? W-Why would I do that?"

"Because you're clearly hung up over him. Look, don't argue with me. Just admit it." Shadow said.

Rouge couldn't help it. Her bottom lip quivered.

"I tried Shadow. I really did." She said, scooting closer to him and laying her head on his shoulder. Surprisingly, he didn't push her away. Maybe it was because he was feeling unusually compassionate today, she wasn't sure. "I tried having sex with too many different men, and drinking to ease the desire I felt… But it didn't work. It didn't fucking work." She said, gasping as a couple of tears escaped her eyes.

"Are you really going to cry over this idiot?"

"Well what else should I do? I can't drink unless I go down to the club, since you threw away all the liquor I had stashed up here." She said, pulling back from his embrace to give Shadow a livid stare.

"Rouge, drinking your problems away isn't the answer. How many times must I say it? And I threatened the bartender to make sure he wouldn't give you any alcohol."

"You can't do that!" Rouge complained.

"Why not?" Shadow asked daringly.

"I'm the owner!"

"I'm the Ultimate Lifeform." He said tauntingly. "I win," he added with a wicked grin when Rouge didn't respond.

"I hate you." Rouge declared, standing up and slipping into a pair of heels. She grabbed her purse and walked out.

"Don't wait up." She said.

"I won't," Shadow replied, not missing a beat. He looked over curiously. "So you're finally going back to Angel Island?"

"Hell no, I'm going to see if your threats really worked. I need to get drunk." With that, Rouge headed down to Club Rouge. It was now late afternoon. Rouge was shocked at how quickly the day had gone by. She entered her club, immediately feeling herself relax and enjoying the ambiance. Club Rouge was without a doubt the hottest venue in town. Tourists and young, horny teenagers were always scouring the club. Whenever she entered the club, it seemed as though she attracted all the males like a moth to a flame. In addition to her undeniably irresistible appearance, it was also due to the fact that she was the owner of the place. As she headed up to the bar however, she froze.

Sonic was there.

Rouge had to blink a couple of times, shaking her head in disbelief. She had no idea what Sonic was doing at the club without telling her, especially at the bar since he was underage. However, since he was her friend, she decided not to put him on blast for it.

"Long time no see, Big Blue." Rouge said with a seductive smirk on her face.

Sonic turned, startled at first, but the initial shock faded and was replaced with a wide grin.

"Heya Rouge!" He said, standing up to give her a hug.

Rouge smiled, wrapping her arms around him and giving him a friendly squeeze. While she was wrapped up in his arms however, she noticed another figure walking up towards them. A red echidna.

Her jaw dropped when she realized who it was.

Knuckles.


Knuckles nearly dropped the red cup in his hand when he saw the beautiful white bat wrapped up in Sonic's arms. She broke the hug immediately, a look of indignation on her face.

"Woah, is everything okay?" Sonic asked, seeing her vexed expression.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just… I need to talk to your friend." Rouge said, pointing behind him.

Sonic turned around and saw Knuckles.

"Oh, hey Knux. I'll, uh, leave you two alone?" He asked nervously. He walked away slowly.

Knuckles frowned, wanting the hedgehog to come back. He hadn't been expecting to run into Rouge – which was probably a stupid expectation considering she owned the club.

Truth be told, he had secretly been hoping she would come back to the island. Even though he made it seem like their heated make out session was just a provocative attempt at taking back the necklace, part of him actually enjoyed it. He knew that as a naturally sexual being, Rouge would be an experienced kisser. But he didn't expect to be taken back by how soft her skin was, or how amazing her body felt in his. Just looking at her gave him the desire to grab her and have his way with her. It wasn't helpful that she looked fantastic. She was wearing a crop top that exposed her perfect belly. Her jeans were tight and hugged every curve wonderfully. He usually didn't ogle at her body, but he made an exception for now. His mind snapped out of it though when she started chastising him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, with a hint of petulance.

"Uh, Sonic invited me here." Knuckles said, attempting to walk past her and find his blue friend.

"Oh no you don't," Rouge grabbed Knuckles by the shoulder, pulling him back. "I don't want you here. And I have the authority to kick you out. You know that right?"

"Look, I don't want any drama. Sonic wanted to have a good time, and Tails is too young to come here. So he invited me."

"So? You're too young to be here, well, at least at the bar."

Knuckles glared at her. "Listen bat, I didn't want to be here. Especially when I heard that you were going to be here. So just leave me alone." With that, he pushed Rouge's hand off his shoulder and tried to walk past him again.

"Hey! Wait!" Rouge said, running and stopping him. "I need to have a word with you. Follow me."

"And if I don't?"

"Then I'll kick your sorry ass out. Now come on!" She said, and pulled him aside to one of the V.I.P rooms of the club without waiting for a response.

Knuckles yanked his hand away from her arm.

"Figures you would be the one to ruin my fun."

"Oh please," Rouge said sourly. "Like you even know how to have fun."

"Whatever. What do you want to talk about?" He asked, knowing it was a stupid question.

"You know damn well what I want to talk about."

"You mean this?" Knuckles asked, pulling out the diamond necklace. Rouge's heart nearly stopped. The necklace, her current prized possession, was right there. Right there in reach. She didn't bother questioning why exactly he brought it with him, especially since it wasn't her main focus at the moment.

"This isn't about the necklace, you dimwit! It's about the kiss!" She wailed, her teal eyes showing genuine pain. Although she knew that the side of her that was infatuated with jewels was still insistent on getting that necklace, regardless of how she felt for Knuckles.

Knuckles stared at her wordlessly.

"Are you gonna say something? Or just stare at me?" Rouge asked.

His silence was enough to answer her question.

She bit her lip, trying to contain her emotions, but wasn't succeeding. So she simply continued to speak.

"Because of you, I'm all messed up. I'm out of my element. I can't stop thinking about that kiss. I don't understand why you would do that to me! I despised you, part of me still does. But…" She paused, trying to read his expression.

On the outside, Knuckles wasn't sure what emotion he was displaying. But his heart was racing. She felt the same way he did.

"But what?" He asked.

"You know what, never mind." She walked past him.

"No, tell me." He said, his voice strangely soft.

Rouge turned and looked at him. Her eyes narrowed.

"Oh. You're enjoying this, aren't you? You enjoy seeing me flustered like this. Why are you acting so clueless, Knucklehead? You kissed me and groped me, then pushed me away – and now you're acting like nothing's happened, like nothing's changed!"

"Why are you griping at me? You're the one who's always trying to steal my gems! I'm a guardian, you're a thief, and you expect us to be friends? Every other force, down to our personalities prohibits us from being friends. Like I'd ever want to be 'friends' with you!"

"Who ever said anything about being friends? I just need to know why you would kiss me! Why not just punch me in the face instead?"

Surprisingly, Knuckles laughed. Rouge stared at him, getting angrier by the second. Why wasn't he as pent up as she was? Did she really mean that little to him?

"Oh gosh, batgirl. You should hear yourself. You really should."

"What?"

"You sound like such a hypocrite right now. It's actually kind of funny."

Rouge could feel that weird, bubbly sensation in her stomach again.

"…Don't say that."

"Oh, too late. I said it. Cause it's true. You're a hypocrite."

"No I'm not." Rouge said, her ears flattening instantly. She looked away from him.

"Yes, you are. You break hearts left and right. I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

"A taste of my own medicine, you say?" Rouge asked, raising an eyebrow. She stepped closer to Knuckles, until she could feel his breath against her face. "Would you have done the same if some other female had taken the necklace? Like Amy, or Blaze? Or maybe Tikal…"

"What!?" Knuckles blushed profusely, losing his calm and collected demeanor instantly. "No… Never."

Rouge smiled, lowering her eyelids and trying (and succeeding) to look sexy.

"So why me?" She asked, feeling herself gain the upper hand. It was time for her to get her revenge. It was time for her to do unto him what he did to her. But part of her stopped. She remembered Knuckles touching her, whispering into her ear, caressing her body… and she closed her eyes as she thought of how reckless she acted because of him.

"…Rouge?" Knuckles asked nervously, grabbing her right shoulder. The motion was like electricity. She gasped at his touch, pulling away immediately.

"Stop that…" She said, opening her eyes. He had never seen so much pain in her beautiful teal orbs. "Can't you see what you've done to me? I'm a fucking wreck because of you, Knux. It's you. It's always you. Seduction is my forte. Manipulation is my forte. And once again, you come in and you change all of that. It's always you." Rouge felt herself breaking down again. It was humiliating, this overwhelming feeling of helplessness she seemed to feel whenever she thought of Knuckles. And what was worse was that he wasn't giving her much of a response. She walked back, sitting on one of the couches in the V.I.P lounge.

"What do you mean once again?" He asked.

"I mean, men are so easy for me to charm. But when it comes to you, you're so damn stubborn. You don't even like me. And I mean, you kissed me. And forgive me if I'm coming off too strong, but the kiss was fantastic, Knuckles. I hate to admit it, but it was. Then you just HAD to push me off your island. You left me to fall into oblivion with no explanation as to why you would do that."

"I'm a guardian, Rouge." Knuckles reminded her, "I had to watch over my emerald, and any other gems that are around. You're the one who stopped coming to the island. I thought maybe you finally moved on."

"That emerald WILL be mine." Rouge said, jabbing him in the chest. "Don't you forget it. And if you have an emerald to watch, why the hell are you here?"

"Team Chaotix is watching my emerald for me." He replied simply.

"You trusted a hyperactive bee, a temperamental crocodile and hotheaded chameleon to watch your emerald?"

"Shut up." He said, crossing his arms. She sighed, crossing her legs and looking down. "Why did you stop coming to the island?"

"Hello? The kiss? Have you not been hearing anything I've been saying to you? Knuckles, I've been trying to drown my thoughts of you away with alcohol and sex."

He grimaced at her words. He didn't like the idea of Rouge having sex with other men. But the fact that she was hung up over him was satisfying. He still thought she was irritating and annoying as hell, but he couldn't deny that there was some sort of chemistry between them.

"And? Did it work?" He asked, cupping her face and making her look at him.

She looked so beautiful; it took all of his willpower not to be too brash with her.

"No." She breathed heavily, losing herself in his eyes.

He was losing himself as well. He didn't understand how she could call him stubborn towards her flirtatious actions. He regretted kissing her to get the necklace off of her, because he didn't expect that either one of them would feel this strongly about it. Instead of responding to her words, he leaned in and attempted to close the distance between them, but she pushed him away. He frowned at her, but she simply shook her head.

"I get to start this time," she said, her eyes clouded with lust as she slowly stood up from the couch and repositioned herself in his lap. She licked her lips and leaned in without hesitation, kissing him fervently. The moment she did, it was the most liberating feeling ever. She felt his hands hold onto her arms, caressing her skin gently. She held onto his shoulders, letting out a tiny sigh as he sucked on her bottom lip. His tongue slid across her bottom lip, tasting her sweet lip gloss. She parted slightly to allow his tongue to enter her mouth.

Their tongues did a sensuous dance, and Rouge grabbed his gloves, pulling them off. She wanted to feel his bare skin against hers. They continued to kiss, and then Knuckles slowly broke away, a thin line of saliva trailing with him. He lowered himself, kissing her neck, and loving her scent.

She sighed, holding onto his head as he kissed and sucked on her flawless skin. She had missed him so much. For too long, she wanted his touch again, and now she finally had him back. She wouldn't let go this time.

He stroked her hips, continuing to lower his hot kisses down to her breasts, burying his face deep in her cleavage. She giggled and moaned at the sensation. Finally, she took her top off, leaving her in her bra. She smiled at his aroused expression.

"You want me, don't you?"

"…What?" He paused for a moment, looking up at her.

"You acted like that kiss on your little island meant nothing to you."

He scooted up a little and planted a tiny kiss on her perfect lips.

"I think we both know how we really feel towards each other." He responded simply, brushing his fingers across her body, and finally wrapping his arms around her to unclasp her bra, and expose her naked breasts. She didn't say anything, only watched him as he lowered himself again and began kissing her breasts. He licked her left nipple, stroking her left breast tentatively. He used his other hand to twist the other.

"Unh… Knuckles…" She moaned, feeling his member against her thigh.

He smiled as he brought his mouth down to fully suck on her breast, loving the sounds of pleasure he was able to elicit from the ivory bat. She was enjoying it up until she noticed his smug expression and (hesitantly) lifted him up from her body.

"Wha…" He said, as she pushed him into an upright position on the couch and got on her knees.

"Don't worry, I think you'll like this." She gave him a flirty wink as she grabbed his erection. He gasped at the contact, watching prudently as she stroked him slowly. She leaned in, licking him slowly, staring into his eyes the entire time. He was without a doubt the biggest of all the guys she had ever taken on. She licked the sides of his member, slowly trailing her tongue up to the tip, before taking it completely in her mouth. She closed her eyes, focusing on pleasuring the echidna, who was groaning in pleasure. She bobbed her head slowly, trying to get used to his size. She had no idea that underneath all that fur the hotheaded guardian had such a large package. She moaned into his cock as his fingers brushed against her fur. He grabbed her head and helped her movements. She loved it, allowing her tongue to glaze over every inch. When she finally pulled away he looked flustered.

Perfect, she thought as she slipped out of her tight jeans. Knuckles reached forward and grabbed her thong, slowly pulling it down. He stopped to look at her for a moment, as he had never seen Rouge naked before. She was absolutely perfect in every way; her body was devoid of any sort of flaw. The part of him that was screaming to be a gentleman stopped him from going any further.

"Are you sure you want to continue?" He asked, a sly smile gracing his handsome features as he added, "I don't want you to hurt yourself."

Rouge pushed his body against the couch and climbed on top of him once more.

"Just for that comment," she said, sliding onto him slowly. She winced as she did so, he really was big, and she didn't like how he was so… 'aware' of it.

"It's okay, I'll help you." He said huskily, gripping her well rounded rear.

"When did you become so suave?" She whispered, trying not to cry from the mixture of pain and pleasure she was experiencing as he helped her move up and down against him.

"I learned it from you, batgirl…" He said, giving her a kiss on the lips.

And so they continued their steamy lovemaking session.


Meanwhile, down in the heart of the club, Sonic was looking around for Knuckles – but to no avail.

"Knuckles!?" Sonic called out as loud as he could against the deafening sounds of music. "Man, I sure hope Rouge didn't kill him… Chaos knows those two don't get along."
