Author's Note: I just wanted to say thank you for the couple of kind reviews and all the views on this story. It really warms my heart, I wasn't really sure how this story would do seeing as the ZeroxMaya fandom isn't really huge. But as long as I can make some fellow Zero and Maya lovers happy I will continue to write this story ^_^ Glad ya'll like it so far! Please feel free to review! Thanks guys :)
Leaving
Three Days later:
Maya stood beside Zero at the window. The storm had died down considerably and if they had any chance of escaping this barren landscape they had to go now.
Zero had spent the past two days preparing, cooking the meat, salting it and saving it for the journey.
"We will leave at first light tomorrow. We must take the opportunity now. May not get another chance if we don't" Zero said shortly.
Maya nodded.
Her wound was healed enough to make the journey now, of course she couldn't be as rough on her body as usual...but she could manage.
Maya had become considerably attached to the little room they called home as of now. She was slightly saddened to leave it behind tomorrow.
Her time spent here had changed her considerably.
For the first time in a long time she learned to trust. To trust in another living being. She trusted Zero unconditionally.
They had become close in the past week.
Not a night passed where they did not sleep together, entangled in each others embrace, listening to the storm outside, learning each other well.
They talked, they listened, and even in silence there was so much to be had. Maya had not ever experienced such a type of bonding. It was uncharted waters, but with Zero she felt safe to put up sail and brave the sea.
Day after day she had watched as Zero's walls fell slowly. He talked to her about his wanderings, shared stories with her. She still knew little about him...but more than she did at the start.
Maya knew this would be their last night with such shelter over their budding relationship. She wanted it to be special.
Maya placed her hand on Zero's shoulder, reaching up to do so as he stood so much taller than her.
Zero looked down at the touch.
"We should enjoy the luxury of a shower while we have it." She said sighing.
Zero nodded and continued surveying the land and forming their plan of travel for tomorrow.
Maya rocked on the balls of her heels.
She shyly fiddled with her thumbs and bit her lip.
"I supposed you were off to shower. Something keeps you? Care to share thoughts?" Zero said turning to her.
Maya choked and looked up at him shyly.
"Would you want...to join me...maybe?" She said slowly.
Zero looked at her hesitantly.
He wanted more than anything to join her. But doing so would require him removing his helmet...
He grimaced at the thought...
"Showering...would require the removing of my helmet. I am unsure. I am fearful." Zero said to her unsteadily.
Maya nodded.
"Zero...i don't care whats under there. I want to see you...all of you." She said touching the dark plastic of his mask.
A sad face displayed on his faceplate.
"I am not...normal. I am different. Inhuman." Zero said panicked.
Maya chuckled.
"Zero i think i gathered that already. And i don't care." She said pulling the taller male into her embrace.
Zero was not shy. He was taught early not to reveal your identity to anybody, it serves a weakness in your defense.
But Maya was not an enemy...
What would it harm?
Zero felt conflicted and it showed in his body language.
Maya hugged him tighter and she felt Zero relax under her grip.
"If that is what you most want. Then I shall oblige. Anything to ensure your happiness." Zero said warmly embracing her back.
Maya leaned back and smiled.
"Race you there!" She said grinning as she undid her armor and threw it on the bed.
She slinkily undid her pants and let them fall, stepping out of them as she went.
She disappeared into the shower room and there was a pause.
Suddenly her panties landed at Zero's feet and his ship was sunk.
Zero couldn't seem to get his armor off fast enough, tripping out of his pants clumsily.
The sight was quite comical seeing the normally composed and graceful assassin stumbling over himself.
Maya giggled at him and put her hands on her hips as Zero finally made it over to her, absent of his clothes...all but his helmet.
Maya looked at him passionately and kissed his faceplate.
"Let me kiss you. The way it should be..." She said her eyes sparkling with need.
Zero felt his body tense as he slowly reached up to the back of his helmet.
Years of habit screamed at him for such a thought. They were mad with fear.
Zero's hands shook as he undid the latch, and loosened it.
He breathed in deep, as much air as his lungs could take.
He felt numb.
But Maya's hopeful smile gave him strength.
He placed each of his hands on either side of his worn helmet and gently lifted up.
It came free easier than Maya would have thought.
She held her breath and touched Zero's chest.
He lifted the helmet up and off, freeing him from its confines and set it gingerly on the countertop.
He blinked once, twice, three times.
Maya simply stared, eyes full of filled curiosity and dazzle.
His skin was pale as the rest of him, only less of the small blue veins.
His dirty blonde hair fell to his ears messy and untamed.
His features were sharp and very male, lips thin, nose proportionate.
But Maya wavered as she met his eyes for the very first time. She was glued to them, entranced in their mystery.
His eyes were completely black, no pupils nor cornea, absent of all color except that deep gloss black.
They reflected the small bit of light, shining like marbles set in his head.
Maya could not help herself, she reached up to touch him.
His skin was just as thick, but as her fingers ran down to his lips they felt incredibly soft under her finger pads.
Now it was her that had explorative hands. She could not keep them from his wondrous face.
She tiptoed as far as she could, grabbing Zero's face with her palms and bringing it to hers.
Her lips collided with his and Zero was instantly overwhelmed by the magnificent feeling.
Their lips fit together easily, sliding against one another's.
Her lips we plump as pillows against his, her hands becoming lost in his blonde mess of hair.
He sighed against her, his hands sliding down her body, finding a holding spot at her rear, the soft flesh beneath his palms.
Maya's teeth gently pinched Zero's bottom lip as she pulled away, the motion was erotic and Zero was hopelessly lost.
He pulled himself against her forcefully, his proud erection pressing against her soft stomach.
Maya gasped and looked down quickly.
She smiled at Zero's arousal and looked back up at her midnight eyed lover.
"You seem eager there big boy." She teased in Zero's ear, her tongue gently encircling it.
Her lips pursed together as she moved to suck the lobe of his tender ear.
Zero moaned richly and his grip on her tightened.
"I am helpless to my crippling need for your body. You are so delicious. You delicate fox..." He growled to her his voice laced with sexual desire.
His voice sounded much less robotic without his helmet, still rough and deep but if anything it was even more pleasing to Maya's ears.
Zero prodded Maya back into the shower.
Her fumbling hands turned the knobs and they were instantly showered in warm, rich water.
Before Maya could say another word Zero had pressed her hard against the tile wall and his lips were upon hers again.
He kissed her roughly, his tongue invading her orifice, forcing her lips apart. His tongue slid along hers, teasing her's meanly.
Suddenly he lifted her, forcing Maya to hang onto him with only her legs squeezed around his hips.
Maya gasped at the advance and clutched Zero's back for support.
Her glowing eyes met his black orbs and they were lost in each others gaze.
"You do not shy away from my eyes. You only stare mystified. They do not frighten you?" Zero breathed his voice husky with need.
Maya shook her head.
"They are amazing...dangerous. Just the way i like you." She said deviantly as she leaned down to bite his exposed neck.
Zero groaned with the contact of her teeth on his neck, it consumed him and made him weak at the knees.
He couldn't get enough of her sweet lips, their fullness, their texture, their form.
Zero forced hard into another kiss as if he wanted to eat her right up.
The big bad wolf and Maya was but a sheep in his teeth.
Zero leaned back and smiled wickedly at the thought.
Maya looked so innocent, her eyes questioning as Zero looked upon her deviously. He was so full of emotion without his mask, she could see that confident smile, see his eyes playing in the light.
She could tell his thoughts were filthy as soon as the corners of his lips pulled up. She raised an eyebrow at him teasingly.
"I see nothing but a man up to no good in those eyes dear." Maya said gently kissing his lips, her smile pressed against his.
"I am like a wolf, hungry for you. Jaws dripping for a taste of you. You are my ever enticing sheep i wish to consume." Zero whispered to her smoothly as he kissed down her neck, pushing her into the wall harder.
"Then eat me up...my big...bad...wolf." Maya said enunciating each word slowly ever so sexually.
Zero couldn't stand it any longer.
What a woman to make him so mad with lust.
Not just a woman.
A Siren.
With a great, hard, thrust Zero pushed up into his Siren.
Maya's fingers dug into Zero's thick flesh and she threw her head back involuntarily.
"AGH! ZERO!" She cried as Zero rammed into her hips, his head pressing snugly against her end, his thickness filling her.
Zero pressed his lips against hers again, he had to taste her more, he couldn't pry himself from the wonderful feeling of his lips against hers.
His slender hips rolled forward, penetrating her again and again.
Zero's body filled with heat and pleasure.
Her body was warm around him, and ever so tight around his throbbing erection. He gritted his teeth together as he pushed into her deeper, her heels digging into his buttocks.
The shower wall bit against Maya's back, the slight pain only added to the pleasure of it all. She felt stretched and invaded...and she loved it.
Every sensitive area was given attention as Zero's thick cock slid into her again and again. Maya cried out weakly, her eyes heavy with pleasure that she could not contain.
Her markings glowed bright in the midst of utter pleasure.
The blue light was reflected beautifully in Zero's gloss black eyes.
Zero's breath came in heavy short pants, his hands grasping the soft flesh of her rear tightly, bringing her to him as he thrust into her.
Maya threw her head back, exposing her tender neck to Zero's teeth.
He tasted her flesh ravenously, his tongue running up the length of her throat.
Zero could feel her increased heartbeat against him, her life thriving, blood flowing. So much energy. So much raw delicious energy. It coursed through her veins, Zero lapped it up hungrily. Knowing the pleasure he was pressing to her body was the reason for such intense energy.
She was but a puppet on his strings, he pulled her this way and that...teasing her, tempting her to the very edge.
She mewled weakly, her fingers finding his hair, entangling within his blonde locks, her eyes squeezed shut in the mitts or pleasure.
Maya's energy flowed outward around her, blue light shining off the water that flowed over their nude bodies.
Maya was so tight around him, her insides so warm and wet against his shaft.
"Nnnng! Oh you are so tight...so deliciously tight..." Zero growled lowly smashing his lips into Maya's once more.
Maya gasped and ran her hands down the nape of his neck as he did so.
Her heart was racing her mind was nothing but fluid, all her senses were wild with fire. Zero's body against hers was driving every single one of her nerves insane.
Her tattoos burned with power, wrapping the two of them in their blue lining, the room was suddenly ten times brighter.
Zero's eyes were like marble, black as a wolfs fur, the blue shining back to Maya.
Alien, Humanoid, Creature, what ever he may be, he was gorgeous.
Maya felt the muscles in her stomach tightening, the buildup of pressure was more than she could handle. She gasped loudly, her mouth wide, head thrown back as if to howl in pleasure.
"OH ZERO!" She cried weakly, her voice reverberating off the shower walls her eyes glowing oceanic blue.
Zero ceased his movement suddenly, his lips turned up in a wicked smile vicious and smooth.
Maya looked at him gasping and squirming.
She furrowed her eyebrows together and pushed against him needfully.
Zero's smile widened as he continued to hold still.
Maya whined and tried to get him to move.
Zero kissed her ear sensually.
"I very much like seeing you squirm. Knowing i control you. You are mine." Zero growled savagely.
Then he forced up into her, quickening his pace rapidly without warning.
Maya was undone by his words and his motions.
Her body exploded in bright light, her muscles tightening as she was overcome by orgasm.
Her fingers dug into Zero, the pain was so intense it was pleasurable, he bit down on the Siren's illuminated neck and indulged himself in her pleasure.
Her body broke down into wild shudders, tightening around Zero's large anatomy.
Her moans were velvet on Zero's ears.
"Mmmm oh...oh YES!" Zero moaned weakly, his knees shaking slightly.
He could not fight off his own finish for a second longer.
He lifted Maya from his cock and burst onto her still luminescent skin.
Zero's face was contorted to that of sheer pleasure, his mouth open ever so slightly allowing a weak moan to pass his lips.
His blue cum dripped down Maya's pert breasts, oozing down her soft skin.
Zero's wilting cock rested against her, still leaking the last remnants of his seed upon her.
Maya looked up at Zero's tired face.
His eyes drooped tiredly and he was panting like a worn dog.
Zero tenderly let Maya slip from his grasp and she found her footing on the wet floor, her legs slightly unstable.
Maya wobbled a little trying to gain her balance and Zero gently gave her his arms to steady herself.
Maya sighed out heavily and smiled gently at Zero.
Her returned the smile wryly.
He cupped his big hands around her face and kissed her forehead tenderly.
He just basked in the presence of his tired, beautiful Siren.
Maya looked down at her stomach sheepishly, she was bathed in Zero's thick finish.
She dabbed her fingers in it and giggled.
Zero only smiled at her, he liked she didn't mind his rather big and dirty finishes.
Maya washed the mess from her pale flesh and titled her head back under the warm stream of water. She savored every drop of it, for who knew how long it would be before they were able to have a warm shower once they wandered off into the snowy landscape.
Zero's lither arms wrapped slowly around her waist and his defined chin came to rest on her wet shoulder.
She felt him sigh heavily against her back, his naked flesh pleasant against hers. The warmth wrapped them like christmas ribbon. Maya was lost in it, lost in the water, lost in the comfort, lost in the presence of her lover.
Maya turned her head to look back at Zero.
His marble eyes were closed, his eyelids heavy and relaxed.
"Did i wear you out?" Maya cooed softly reaching back to stroke his blonde hair.
Zero nodded slowly against her.
"Well let's get you to bed." Maya whispered to him, turning so she could gently take his chin in her palms.
She kissed him slowly and he kissed back animatedly, as if the touch of her lips awakened his spent body.
Zero reached up and reluctantly turned off the water. He did not want to leave its warmth but they needed all the rest they could get.
They dried themselves with old sheets and retired to the bed that had become their personal safe haven for what seemed like forever.
Zero crawled into the bedding and plunked down hard his eyes but slits as sleep threatened to take him.
Maya crawled in next to him and nestled herself against his naked form.
He was so warm against her. So pleasant and comforting.
Zero's heavy breathing signaled to her that he had already slipped into sleep.
She smiled as she brushed his hair aside and gently touched his slacked cheeks.
Hell he was gorgeous. She thought to herself her cheeks burning brightly as she let her fingers slide over his lips.
She settled reluctantly into sleep.
Tomorrow was another day.
The day they would leave their little slice of heaven they had so unexpectedly found.
Maya frowned at the thought and let herself fall into restless sleep.
