Well, I decided to throw my hat into the ring. That said, I'm gonna use this as an excuse to try something different with my writing style. I've always written with an omniscient reader perspective, and would like to try some stuff out. Be sure to read the next chapter as well for the "full picture" of what I'm trying to do.

Chapter 14.5: Intimacy - Side R

"While I may not be ready for…everything…I want more…"

Zion could pick up the undertones from her voice. As always, he would let her set the pace, "What do you want more of?" He made sure to ask so he sounded serious, but he already knew the answer, he just needed to hear it.

Rosalina leaned forward, and with as much desire as she could muster, whispered a single word into his right ear, "Intimacy."

With just a single word, Zion felt his blood rushing through his body in a way no battle could match.

Rosalina kissed his neck, cheek, then on his lips. Zion rose to sit up straight, while also shifting away slightly from the headboard. Rosalina wasted no time in moving to sit on his lap, locking her legs around his waist. The two began a heated exchange of kisses. Eventually their tongues also took part in the exchange, the two of them becoming more enamored with each other by the second.

During this, Zion was using his hands to rub Rosalina's back, stroke her cheek, or run them through her hair. At first Rosalina's arms were simply wrapped around Zion's torso, holding him tightly. However, she eventually reached down to the hem of his shirt and began lifting it off.

Zion assisted by lifting his arms for her to remove the shirt, before resuming his previous actions. Now that his shirt was removed, Rosalia started moving her hands all around Zions body. From his shoulders to his waist, she didn't hold back. She made sure to rub the area of his shoulder where his flesh became metal, as well as the arm itself. Rosalina didn't care if it was metal, it was a part of the man she loved.

Eventually the two broke apart for air, taking some much needed breaths.

They looked into each other's eyes. Wordlessly telling their partner "I love you".

Rosalina used her right hand to move the left strap of her nightgown off her shoulder, then did the same with the other strap. Once that was done she paused, neither of them saying a word. She grabbed Zions wrists, and guided them to the top of the nightgown, just above her breasts.

With his hands having been placed there, Zion leaned forward and gave Rosalina a gentle kiss, which she returned. During the kiss, he slid the nightgown down, revealing Rosalina's breasts. Their lips separated and Zion could see her growing shy.

"Are…" Rosalina started, but she stopped and had to take a breath to calm her nerves. "Do you…like them?"

Zion smiled warmly, put his hand to her cheek, and gave her another soft kiss.

"Of course I do. I don't care about the size, what matters is they're yours." He tried to alleviate her fears, but could see there was something else she wanted to say.

"I…I know it's a…bad time to ask but…have you…been with other women…before me?" It was a question that, in all honesty, Zion was surprised hadn't come up sooner. He moved his hands to support himself as he leaned back slightly.

"I won't lie. I have physically been with many other women. Since we fight on a near constant basis, soldiers have to find ways to keep themselves sane. Given my position, it was either drink myself into oblivion or sleep around. There was never anything emotional between me and them, purely physical."

"...I see…thank you for always being honest with me." Rosalina smiled gently. "You must be quite…experienced, then?" She was starting to overcome her shyness.

Zion chuckled, "Not the word I would have used, but I guess I can answer your question with a yes."

Rosalina leaned forward into Zion so he was flat on the bed, her breasts pressing against his chest. "I have a request."

"What kind of request?" He asked, an eyebrow raised in curiosity.

"Don't think I've noticed, but you always, and I do mean always, let me set the pace for our relationship. I will always be grateful for that." She continued. "My request is that this one time," she looked him in the eyes, "Please take the lead."

"Please take the lead."

I trust him. I trust him with all my heart.

"Are you sure?"

The fact he's asking only goes to show that I'm correct, and I know just what to say to him.

"Please, lead me, my knight." I move closer and give him what will start as a soft kiss, but I want him to feel the love and passion I have for him.

He wraps his arms around me, holding me tightly as we kiss for another minute. His hands move to my shoulders, a soft shove tells me he wants me to get up. I sit back up, my nightgown bunches around my waist. Zion is moving his hands towards my chest. This is it girl, breath.

"Haa…"

He's touching them. Touching me. But…

"You ok?"

He's so considerate.

"Yes, but," I can't suppress the urge to giggle, "Your left hand is cold."

His laugh is so charming and, dare I say it, sexy.

"Sorry, can't adjust the temperature on that thing. However, it should warm up if it stays in contact with something warm, like say, you."

This man, I swear. I put both my hands on his mechanical wrist.

"Then by all means, I'll help keep your hands warm." God that sounded so embarrassing to say. My heart is pounding right now.

He says nothing as he begins massaging my breasts. It feels good, but also relaxing in a way. It feels…pleasant. When his thumb or hands run over my nipples, it feels good, but also slightly ticklish. I like this, I could easily get used to this. He leans forward, and I prepare to kiss him. He ignores me and instead-

"Mmm" a sigh escapes my lips as Zion licks my breast. He wastes no time, and begins to suck on the nipple.

"Ahh," that was my voice, wasn't it? I couldn't hold it back, it feels really good. That relaxing feeling is still there, but it's starting to be replaced with a want. A need. I put my hands on his head, "That feels nice darling, please keep going."

He grunts in affirmation and continues to suck, however, he moves back and forth to each of my breasts. This feels so GOOD. I read that sexual relations feels good, but if something as simple as Zion sucking my breasts feels this good then…

Zion raises his head up to me. We kiss each other feverishly, our tongues dancing together as well. He uses this moment to spin us around and place me on the bed. Now I'm looking up at him. We continue to kiss, but he uses his hands to pull my nightgown down further. I lift my hips slightly to aid him in fully removing it. He runs his hands all over my body. Arms. Shoulders. Breasts. Stomach. Hips. Thighs. The rim of my panties…

Wordlessly, I lift my hips again, giving him permission to remove them. He slips them off and tosses them aside. Sitting up, he's looking right at me. My hands lie on my stomach, allowing Zion to see everything. I'm lying naked before him. It's certainly embarrassing since it's the first time I've ever been naked in front of him. But…I want him to see me. I want him to see all of me. Touch me. Love me.

"You're beautiful, Rosalina," him saying things like that makes it feel more embarrassing, but it's a compliment girl, use this to your advantage. Maybe a light tease?

I smile seductively, to the best of my ability "Thank you love, enjoying the view?" That sounded good.

Zion lets out a low hum, "I most certainly am." He leans down and kisses me again. I feel his right hand land on my stomach, then feel it going lower, lower. He's going to touch me there now isn't he?...I want him to. I spread my legs slightly, making it easier for his hands. Touch me Zion, please.

I suck in air as I feel his fingers come into contact with my clitoris, then stroke the length of my vagina. I immediately feel pleasure, an electric pleasure that goes through my whole body. He continues to stroke up and down.

"How's that feel, babe?" He asks softly.

I try to breathe and regain my voice, "It feels…really good." He starts rubbing his fingers in circles against my clitoris. "Mmm" I moan in response. His fingers change to moving up and down the length of my vagina. I can feel my breathing pick up, and I close my eyes, enjoying the sensations. Oh stars above, I never knew it would feel so good!

I hear Zion shifting around a bit, then his hand moves away. I open my eyes to take a look.

"What are you- Aaahhhhh~" oh heavens take me he's licking me. He's licking my pussy and "Oh God Zion!" He's sucking my clit too?!

"Aaah, aahh, mmm" I bite my lower lip and grip the bedsheets, trying to hold back my moans, "mmmh," but I'm clearly failing.

Zion paused, "Rosalina, you don't need to hold back." I feel his breath on my vagina as he talks, I look down to see the upper portion of his face between my legs. Oh my stars, it's so sexy! Oh right, he said something.

"Wha?" That was all I could manage? Really?

"I can see you trying to hold back your moans. Let it aaaaall out my princess, you won't regret it later." He gives me a quick lick, which I feel pleasure move through my whole body. He then resumes his ministrations. I will oblige, I won't hold back anymore. I put my hands and his head, almost forcing his mouth on me.

"Aaah, ohhh, Zion don't stop, it feels so good babe!" I don't know why, but he's right. Letting myself go, I feel the pleasure running through my body like lightning.

Ohhh, I can't even think straight, how long has he been doing this? I'm losing my mind. I feel my eyes rolling back. Something's building, is this it? Am I going to-?

"Zion, I'm gonna cum, I'm gonna cum, don't stop, don't stop! Ahh~"

Oh stars, he just put a finger in me, and he's still sucking my clit! I can't! I can't hold it!

"Zion, cumming, AH!"

Body shaking. Pleasure. Pleasure unlike anything I've ever felt. Ecstasy. Throughout my body…

…

"Haaaa" I take a deep breath. I don't know how much time has passed since I came, but Zion is lying on his side next to me. Looking at me with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Looks like I did a good job, you were practically out of it for at least two minutes."

So that was an orgasm. My goodness, words can't describe how good that felt. I could easily become addicted to that feeling. I take a good look at Zion. That smirk on his face screams "I'm so good". Well then, time to turn the tables, or in this case…

Just like before, I push him onto his back. I kiss him with everything I've got, making sure our tongues join in as well. The moment we part, I waste no time in moving myself and Zion into a position very similar to before. Only this time, our roles are reversed.

"Rosalina, you don't-" he's trying to be gentle with me. I appreciate it, Zion, but not right now.

"Shush," I let him take the lead before, and it was wonderful, but now I'm taking the lead again. I've already braced myself for this. Time to woman up Rosalina. I know what to do, and more importantly, "I know what I want."

With a quick motion, I yank his shorts and underwear right down to his knees…well, knee.

I look right at his…

I swallow the lump in my throat. I know I read somewhere that the average male punishment is between five to five and a half inches but…it looks a lot bigger in person. Plus, this is the first time I've seen one with my own eyes.

"First time seeing one?" I look up to Zion, "It's written all over your face."

I take a breath to calm my nerves. "Yes, it is."

"Rosalina you don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with." Again, he's trying to be gentle with me…I know just what to do to make him stop. This is it girl. Do it.

Without warning, I lick his penis from base to tip, I hear him take a sharp breath during the process.

"Rosalina…" looks like that left him speechless. Let's do that again. I lick him just like before, only slower this time, he takes a deep breath. His penis twitches slightly, but I gently hold it still with my right hand and continue to lick. He looks down at me, his eyes tell me he's enjoying it. Let's see…

"Does that feel good, darling?"

He nods, "Yeah, it does."

I softly giggle, "Good, now then." Time to go all in. I open my mouth and take his penis into my mouth.

"Ahhh," his exhale there says it all. Gotta keep going. With the tip in my mouth, I use my tongue to lick it all over. I bob my head up and down, trying to take a little bit more into my mouth each time I go down. Once I find my limit, I continue to take him that deep. The whole time he's switching back and forth from looking down at me, to lying his head back.

"That feels real good, babe. Please keep going."

Hearing him say that makes me feel really good. It's me that's making him feel this way, no one else.

I can feel my jaw tightening, I need a small break. I release his dick from my mouth and use my hands instead. Zion doesn't seem to mind.

"Feeling good, Zion?"

He looks down at me and nods, "Yeah, I'm getting close."

Hmm, he's close to finishing. I know what happens when a man cums due to the…more adult book in my secret stash. Hmm, what to do?

"Rosalina," Hmm? "I don't think I can hold myself back much longer." I don't know what that entails. Should I tell him the same thing he told me? Let's go with that.

"Zion, you don't need to hold back. Let it aaaaall out my knight, you won't regret it." I lick the tip of his dick again. Let's see how he responds to that.

"Shit!" He grabs my head with both hands and thrusts his dick into my mouth. He's fucking my mouth and throat. He's so rough right now. It's the complete opposite of before. I loved when he was gentle with me earlier, I enjoyed being able to pleasure him on my own, but this…it's like he's desperate to cum and he's using me to do it. But…I think…I like it.

"Mmmff mmff," I try to the best of my ability to let him know. I don't know why I like this. I can't explain it. It must be you Zion, you've changed me in so many ways and helped me open up as a person. Use me to cum Zion, I'll take all of it!

"Rosalina, I'm cumming!" I grab his hips, I'm not moving from this spot, give it to me Zion!

"Nnnn!" With one final thrust, I feel a warm sticky fluid enter my mouth. I do my best to swallow it, but some of it leaks from the corners of my mouth and onto Zions crotch. His hand's go limp, releasing me from his grasp. I pull away from Zion's penis and swallow what remains, then take a deep breath.

"Pwahh…eww." I didn't have an expectation for the taste of semen, but I did not care for it. I see Zion looking at me; seems he's still catching his breath.

"Didn't taste good…did it?"

I'll be honest with him. "No, it did not."

"I'm sorry. When you said that, I just completely lost it."

"No, don't apologize. The taste was awful. But I…liked it when you were rough." Even after all of that, admitting it out loud was still embarrassing.

"To be fair, semen was hit or miss with the women I've been with." Hard to believe some people like that taste, but who am I to judge?

I get up to make my way to the bathroom, "I need a glass of water, immediately."

"I don't blame you one bit."

Once the two of them cleaned up, they snuggled close together under the blankets. Their clothes long since forgotten on the floor. The two of them were as close as possible, with Rosalina lying her head on his chest, and his arm around her.

"So, was that the intimacy you had hoped for?" Zion asked.

"Well, it certainly started that way. It felt so loving and warm. That said, during the moment I think we got carried away a bit," she answered truthfully.

"Sorry, that was my fault."

"Nonsense, I was swept away in it as much as you'd were."

"Hehe, well, it does take two to tango."

"Mmm," she put her arm across his body, holding him close as she nuzzled her head into him, "it most certainly does."

Zion kissed the top of her head, "I love you Rosalina."

She kissed his chest in response, "I love you too, Zion."

Moments later, the two of them drifted off to sleep.
