smut.
...
Athenacia's work day was going along surprisingly smooth, so much so that she found she was actually managing to get ahead of the game. While sitting in her office, her thoughts began to drift far away, to a place not far away from where she currently was. A smile passed across her lips, her body tingling as she recalled the last night before she fell asleep securely in her boyfriend's arms. Those large, expertly crafted muscles keeping her close after those hands ran all along her body. Athenacia could almost feel them still, caressing every inch of her, making heat rise inside of her. One of those hands would stop at her breast and capture the hardened nipple, begging him to tease it while soft moans escaped her. The look in his eyes always trapped her, molten amber swirling in such a hypnotic way while he gazed at her like she was the only thing in the world. It was utterly invigorating, heat pooling into her core while she thought about it, a heavy breath exiting her parted lips.
The girl shook her head out of those thoughts, her face turning red even as she felt her own arousal still within her. Gladio would be home by now, he said he was taking the day to recover before moving on to the next task. There wasn't much work for her to do, might as well spend the time with him while she could. Who knew when he would set off again? Slamming closed the binder, she didn't even bother changing before briskly leaving the building.
Gladiolus sighed as he brought an arm behind his head. Athenacia had to work so he was left here by himself until she came back. Ignis was nowhere to be seen and Cid had also left somewhere with Cor. It was the perfect time for them to catch up after he had just gotten back from a four-day hunt with the Crownsguard. He missed her, cutting things short so that he could see her. Even now, thinking about all the things he did to her last night had him hard. Looking over at the time, he dismissed the thoughts so that he could walk to go and get her from work.
As soon as Gladio entered the street, he felt almost light-headed. While taking the most direct route to the hospital, he saw that Athenacia was on her way back, stopping, as did he once they noticed each other. His cock throbbed, wanting desperately to be trapped within her cave again, that warm, moist cavern that always left him craving more no matter how satisfied he was. Something came over Athenacia as soon as she saw her boyfriend standing there, staring at her in a near sense of wonder. Without warning, she bolted toward him and he was ready, catching her as she latched onto him and crashed her lips upon his own fiercely. Gladio held her tightly against him, wanting nothing more than to take her. He couldn't wait.
Once they broke apart he looked for a place that they could have a little more privacy despite that their house wasn't a far walk. They slipped into an alley, and then an even smaller one, all while still attached at the lips. Once they were shielded from prying eyes he lowered her to the ground and forcefully turned her around before removing any obstacle that prevented him from penetrating her. Athenacia didn't complain, practically forcing herself against him and then releasing a moan once he filled her. There was no romance, just pure animalistic instinct as he slammed into her. A large hand was brought to clamp over her mouth in order to make sure they weren't found out by anyone. They were lucky enough that the echoing sounds of flesh bouncing on flesh wasn't attracting any attention. Finally she stiffed as he reached her release, provoking his own before he let out a choked groan, holding himself up against the wall while she struggled to catch her breath.
The two of them pulled their pants back on before exiting their nook hand in hand and back to their house. Once they got upstairs the tension was built again, only this time there was no rush. Gladio discarded her shirt by merely ripping it off her body, exposing that creamy skin beneath it. Her breasts were captive by the bra she was wearing and he got rid of that as well, freeing them before taking one in his mouth. There was no reason to muffle her sounds and they only invigorated him further. Athenacia was backing up and the two of them fell on the bed bouncing once before he went back to his work. His hand found its way to her heat, wasting no time in starting to torture that as well and causing her body to arch into his. Athenacia's fingers tangled in his brown locks as she moaned. Her silky secretions were spread all along her, those artful fingers toying with her before they were replaced with a very talented tongue. A loud moan left her once he began to taste her, hands gripping the sheets tightly while she arched upward again. Gladio never showed her mercy and she was under his power completely. Both hands held her hips in place so that she couldn't escape him. Her body writhed above his while her moans grew louder with each passing second. The man was merely toying with her, clearly having no intention of finishing what he started.
"Gladio! Please!" she shouted between breaths.
He always did this to her, brought her to the point that she could no longer take anymore and begged him to finish her. Athenacia knew that he enjoyed it just as much as she did, inflating his well-deserved ego every time. Her whines continued, filling him with pride as he lapped her up still, keeping her in place while she again pleaded with him to finish her off. One hand left to go and pleasure himself, always getting off when she was in this state. It was a rhythm that he followed on her which was driving her over the edge as she pushed her hips into him. She was his puppet and he had complete control over her right now. Athenacia was nearly there and that's when he stopped completely, still stroking himself as he wiped his chin of her sweet juices. The look she gave him was not impressed, to say the least.
"What are you doing?"
The tone in which she delivered her question was dangerous, a growl on the tip of her tongue in frustration as those hungry, huntress eyes nearly pierced him. Gladiolus had witnessed this plenty of times, had learned her breaking point, however, he was feeling devilish all on his own.
"Finish," he commanded, leaving no room for speculation.
Athenacia raised a brow at him before noticing that he was slowly running his own hand along his length and back. That look in his eye, it drove her wild and her tentative fingers found their way to her dripping cave. Slowly she ran circles around her engorged flesh but she didn't just stop there. As soon as she penetrated herself, releasing a large moan, she grabbed him as well, causing him to grunt in surprise. Athenacia kept the rhythm going, pumping him steadily while succumbing to her own touch. Gladio had trouble focusing, this course of action completely unexpected. The man didn't even notice when she had begun moaning on his own cock, unable to stop while she kept herself on the brink of release. The sensation was something he had never felt before, falling prey to her plan and yanking her by the hair so that he could flip her over and slam right into her. Athenacia held herself up on her hands and knees while he aimed to please, keeping a firm grip on her hips while she filled the room with her cries of approval.
Again she stiffened, muscles clenching against him in such a way he was forced to spill himself inside of her once more. They were both out of breath this time, collapsed on the bed and gasping for air while coated in a thick layer of sweat. The breeze on Athenacia's skin caused her to shudder, inviting the man next to her to wrap an arm around her small frame and pull her close. There were no complaints, she wanted to be close to him anyway, raising her head and kissing him softly. A content sigh escaped her, heart swelling with affection for this man as she admired him. Lost in his loving gaze, the smile stayed plastered on her face while her own eyes stored every piece of him into her memory, nearly overwhelmed with her own feelings for him. Gladio's hand cupped her cheek, enticing a lazy smile before he claimed her lips once more ever so gently. It was so different from moments ago when they were giving into their urges, this was meaningful like when they had first done it years ago in the Crown City. Athenacia felt the sensation of fire and ice all at once, pulsing through her body with his every touch, unable to contain herself and releasing another content sigh. Gods how she loved him!
Gladiolus gazed at her in such a loving way, watching those hazel hues show him exactly how she felt. It wasn't often that her guard was so down that he could see her so clearly, but when it was he felt like he was on top of the world, knowing that only he had the power to do this to her. There was never any doubt that she loved him wholly, even if she had never really said so out loud. Gladio was the first one to profess love and it took a long time before she told him honestly how she felt - and by then he had almost died. Athenacia sure showed him though, her body more than honest with him even if her words said the opposite. In this moment her eyes told him the extent of how she felt for him, the true depth that it went and the Shield knew that it was the same for him. He had never loved someone so much in his life and knew that he couldn't live without her by his side.
They kissed again, continuing to do so while completely enamoured with each other. Athenacia was so caught up in her emotions, moaning slightly at the touch of the man who always made her feel like she was a goddess. As they rolled so that she was on her back, he hovered over her and she was again, lost in his amber gaze. One leg came over to the other side of her, his body pressed against hers while he continued to claim her lips. Athenacia held him in place, tasting him all the more and invigorating more heat to pool into her abdomen. Taking a moment to look down at her, that dreamy hazel stare meeting him, he ran his hand down her body, fingers ghosting along her flesh those lips parted to take in air, hitching as she did so. The Shield found that she was already soaked, even as he was throbbing despite how calmly they were communicating their need. It wasn't long before Gladio filled her, inserting himself into her anticipating walls and thrusting gently while still locked onto her lips.
This was unlike the last few times they were together, this was a celebration of their love. Both of them moaned into each other, still tasting while they could and moving at such an amiable pace. Athenacia arched herself beneath him, head swimming with each passing second. Ordinarily, Gladio would claim her neck, anything to build her up further, however, he was watching her face as it contorted itself in pure bliss. The passion between them was so high he was ready to spill himself inside of her again, but waited until her rapture would take place. Despite keeping the same rhythm, her cries began to grow more desperate, searching for that release he was promising her, inching her at such an agonizingly slow pace.
"Mmmm!"
There was no way for her to stop, hazel hues glazed over. Gladio grunted, gritting his teeth in an attempt to hold himself back. Sill thrusting at that slower pace, he was easily able to see all the stages of her release, from the moment it happened and right until it was over.
"Gladio..."
His name was but a whisper upon her breath, arms clutching him tightly to her as he allowed himself to fall under her spell. Face buried in her neck, breaths heavy, he finally finished, the tight walls around him providing comfort while he lied against her. Athenacia released another content sigh, keeping him close and moving so that she could place a kiss to his forehead that was shoved in the crook of her neck. Gladio moved, taking himself out before falling beside her, still within her embrace and letting sleep wash over him. The deep and even breaths told him that she was long gone in slumber, lulling him to join her.
…
When the Shield woke up a few hours later, he smiled, moving to kiss the girl in front of him on her exposed neck. A teasing moan left her lips, his smirk growing with his own desire he as looked down at her delicate face. Gladiolus was about to make another move when she rolled to her back, the sheets falling down and revealing her bare breasts. Amber eyes lidded, they rolled over her form, hand absently running along the creamy skin and earning another one of those moans when he drew closer to her thighs. Softly caressing the skin there, he took in one of those mounds, swirling his tongue around the erect nub while his own fingers began to move closer to the middle. Athenacia was still reacting to him, a louder cry sounding as soon as he traced one finger inside the seam. Her body jolted and she remained asleep, causing him to smirk.
Gladio moved his head lower, kissing her abdomen before spreading her thighs gingerly and letting his tongue trace along her soft petals. That sweet nectar was practically flooding out of her, the man lapping it up eagerly. Athenacia began to writhe above him, limbs tensing and then releasing over and over again. The cries that escaped her were more frequent, and it wasn't long before she awoke, a particularly loud moan joining her.
"Gladio!"
Whatever she was meant to say died, the fact that she was awake invigorating him to push even harder. Athenacia's body was ready to convulse, gripping the sheets as tightly as possible while her back arched upward. Somehow, she had managed to slip through his fingers, scrambling to her knees before he had a chance to figure out what was going on. She practically assaulted him, forcing him around so that she could easily slide herself onto him and it was then she became increasingly more vocal. Gladiolus wrapped an arm around her, forcing her to remain still while he worked his way back into control by setting a pace. Her cries overcame the sound of their flesh smacking into each other and eventually she was silent as her release pulsed through her body. The Shield took a little longer than anticipated but soon followed her, keeping her in his hold while laying his head into her chest.
The two of them gasped for air, a sweaty mess while clutching the other in a constant need to keep contact. It was soothing, her fingers running through his hair as she held him close. When was the last time they truly took this much time to appreciate the other? How could he spend so much time away from her? Fighting daemons was the last thing on his mind, needing more of her energy around him. Eventually they calmed down though did not dare move an inch. While laying against her, he grew hard again inside of her, ready for a second round while staring at her breast. What had gotten into him? Athenacia must have been on the same page because slowly her hips began to rock, soft moans escaping her as she did so.
Gladiolus went to assist, to try and help her along, however, he was held in place. The look in those hazel hues, obviously she wanted to pay him back for the way he had forcefully woken her up. Athenacia guided him to his back, holding his gaze the entire time while still rocking her hips in such an agonizingly slow way. It wasn't until he felt something soft wrap around his wrists that he broke from her hazel orbs, looking up to see that she had sneakily tied him in place with the sheets they were once beneath. The knot was tight, making escape impossible – not that he wanted to anyway. Now that she had him securely at bay, she increased her pace and the large man beneath her found that being unable to move was only making her actions far more intense. On instinct, he pulled at his restraints while Athenacia threw her head back in the bliss, riding him hard. Gladio was fixated on her, itching to touch her. Apparently she knew how to tie knots extremely well, and the way she was moving above him almost had his mind completely blank. Growling, he managed to break free, snatching her by the hips and rolling her over so that he could take back control. It wasn't long before she came, gripping him tightly and riding it out until it was his turn.
The two of them gasped for breath, lying beside against each other, wrapped up in a sweaty mess. Gladiolus ran his fingers lightly through her hair, the action soothing his girlfriend and calming her down faster. The doctor placed a kiss to him before heaving a content sigh and staring out into the dark sky through the open window.
"Shit Doc..." he breathed heavily in her ear.
"I can't feel my legs," she smiled.
Gladio placed a kiss beneath her ear, a small moan leaving her and making his cock twitch. The smell of sweat was all around them and as much as Athenacia was willing to go another round with him – having no idea where this increased sex drive had suddenly come from – she knew that she needed a shower. Kissing him once more, she forcefully tore herself from his embrace, having trouble with his willingness to actually let her go. It wasn't like she was really trying all that hard to begin with, but finally she managed to slither out of his reach, giggling the entire time until she was in the scorching hot shower.
Another one of those content sighs escaped her as she submerged herself entirely beneath the water. It didn't take long before she was joined by Gladio, the sound of flesh on flesh loud in her ears, his hand on her backside with a wolfish grin upon his face. Athenacia bit her lip, completely covered in her body wash as she turned to face him. The Shield kept his hand on her, letting the hot water fall over him while she tried in vain to ignore him. Slowly, he began to caress her, running his palms along her silky skin and "assisting" her. Gladio took it upon himself to make sure that her back was thoroughly washed, scrubbing gently before dipping his hands lower, over the swell of her backside and running further, closer to the front.
Apparently she was ready for him, pulling out of his reach and turning to face him in a swift movement. Her body pressed against his, rubbing her soap all along him. It was her turn to caress him and Gladio was mesmerized by her movements, intaking a hitched breath of air when her hands ran along his length in order to clean it properly. The shower wasn't very big, the large man trying to think of the best way for him to take her while in here as the water rinsed all the suds off them. It was hard to really figure out while she was stroking him ever so gently. Just as he had finally worked out what exactly he was going to do, Athenacia slowly lowered herself to her knees unexpectantly. Gladio watched, an involuntary grunt escaping him once her little tongue ran from the tip, all the way to the base and back. Looking up at him through near lidded eyes, the Shield breathed heavier in anticipation, hand ever so slowly coming to the top of her head and gently guiding her back to his throbbing need in front of her. Athenacia was quick to take him in, tongue swirling around the length as she moaned into him on purpose and igniting a fire within him.
Gladiolus found he was unable to contain himself as she worked, his hand still holding onto her head while it eagerly bobbed back and forth. As the pace increased, the Shield's knees wished to buckle beneath him, forcing him to lean over and hold himself up with his free hand on the shower wall as the water burned his back while cascading down. There was nothing else he could feel aside from the sensations of his oral fornication, resisting as much as he could to thrust into her. Hips were still quivering and just when he thought it couldn't get better, fingers began to toy with his sac and another one of those involuntary moans left him. He was going to burst at any moment, hand tightening in Athenacia's hair the closer he drew to his own rapture. As if on cue, she delved deeper, lips meeting her own hand at the base of his cock. A longer drawn out moan left the large man who struggled to stay standing. Body tense, he was unable to hold it any longer, spilling himself into her and exhaling deeply as he did so.
"Fuck Lil..."
Every part of him relaxed despite that he was breathing heavily. Gladiolus moved the hair from his face, meeting the eyes of Athenacia who was still on her knees, however, she was staring up at him earnestly. The Shield was still hunched over, the hand that once tangled in her wet locks now cutting her delicate face. Gods she was so gorgeous, perfection that only belonged to him. Running a thumb along her skin, he soon joined her on the shower floor, kissing her with such a fierce passion that she sighed into it, clinging to him. Gladio kept her close, the scalding water still falling on them but they didn't care. This moment belonged to them and them alone.
The shower turned cold and it alerted them that they had spent far too much time in there, quickly cleaning themselves up despite the large distraction that was each other. Athenacia let out another one of those content sighs as she fell back into her bed, only to shoot right back up in near disgust. The two of them sure had made a mess. Gladiolus chuckled at her and she simply threw a pillow at him before she began to tear apart the soiled sheets. To her surprise, he helped her, both of them starting the laundry before lying on the bare mattress, still naked and tangled in an embrace.
Lestallum was undergoing one of its famous heat waves, the window open and blowing hot air onto them. The scalding shower only increased their body temperature and Gladiolus found that he was still damp, sweat poking through his pores and leaving him exhausted. It didn't help that Athenacia was right beside him, the woman always abnormally warm to begin with. When it was cold she was practically a furnace, heating the air around him and allowing him to escape winter's bitter chill. The strange thing was that Athenacia always complained that she was cold, even in this heat.
The sound of her giggles filled the room, Gladiolus teasing her in every which way that he could. There was no way to stop himself, she was completely naked and pressed against him. Of course, he wasn't able to hide his arousal the second her skin touched his and he was enjoying that hungry look in her hazel eyes, noting that they would dip down quite often. A crooked grin found his face when her cheeks would stain pink, having been caught staring at him. The Shield kept her close, rubbing the stubble of his chin in her sensitive neck area. Athenacia fought to get away, crying in protest between her laughs. It wasn't like she was trying very hard, thoroughly enjoying his attention lavished on her, always making her feel as if she were the most important person in the world.
As she shuffled about in his embrace, the large man gazed at her, struck by that calm, hazel stare. Athenacia kept a warm smile upon her face, ceasing all movements while holding his attention. Gladio kept a hand on her cheek, absently running his thumb along that scar and feeling himself swell with affection for her. Slowly, he brought his lips to rest against hers, eyes fluttering shut as he tasted her. The passion caused her to sigh, reciprocating in her own way before pulling away only slightly. The hot breath on her face invigorated her, however, she was unable to move while their foreheads rested against each other.
"I love you Doc," he whispered, grazing against her with every word.
Athenacia didn't respond, merely pulled him back to her with every intention of showing him exactly how she felt about him. One of her legs came to rest over his hip, readying herself to roll them over so that she could give him the ride of his life. Just as she was about to push off the mattress, a throat cleared that caused her to cry out in alarm, hiding behind her boyfriend so that she couldn't be seen.
"'Sup Iggy?" asked Gladio casually, obviously ignoring the fact that the two of them were naked in bed together and that their friend was standing in the room.
"Good evening," Ignis nodded.
"Could you give us a minute?" asked Athenacia, mortified at the situation, "We're not decent!"
"He can't see us Doc," snorted Gladio.
"He was about to hear us!"
The Adviser let out a sigh, "That was what I was hoping to speak with you about," Athenacia tensed, "Perhaps it would be in all our best interests you keep the noise to a minimum? I uh... regret to inform of your... coitus reaching the ears of those in the market."
The doctor wasn't sure how much more frigid her body could go, burying her face in the chest of Gladiolus and suddenly extremely happy that no one else could see her. The large man's snickering was not helping the situation at all and she suddenly felt like she was in the deepest pits of a volcano.
"We'll take it outside," assured the Shield.
"Gladio!" she cried.
"Good, practice now 'cause it's a long way to the campsite."
Athenacia groaned in exasperation, slapping at his chest, "You're such a jerk!"
Gladiolus only continued to laugh at her, Ignis's sigh going unnoticed as he paced back down the stairs. Once she had recovered, they were regretfully putting on clothes and then began to pack up their things. Athenacia was convinced that they were only going away for the night, however, the contents of Gladio's bag suggested that he wasn't going for a short visit. Matching his quirked brow, she caved, grabbing more than what she deemed necessary.
They were on the road shortly after, stopping along the way in order to quell the urges that cropped up far too frequently. Apparently they had all the time in the world if they were going that slow. Athenacia had no idea where they were going, just kept her eyes on the scenery and hand inside the massive one of her boyfriend's. After one more stop they finally arrived at their destination, Gladin Quay. A smile tugged at her lips, loving the time they spent here when they wanted to be alone. The ocean waves were still soothing, easy for her to block out the sounds of the daemons. There were only two fights they engaged in before they were safely on the haven. Thank the gods that they were still holding their protective runes and that they worked.
Setting up camp was easy, something the two of them did frequently and they were eating their next meal by the fire. Athenacia felt at ease for the first time in a while, wishing that the sun would rise and make it absolutely perfect. As she leaned back into his arms and observed the clear skies, she sighed with the waves and the sound of his heart n her ears. Whatever compulsion that had come over them made her happy that they were here. Gladio was running his hand lightly around her hip, fingers coming up and then travelling back down. A smirk graced her features once he indiscreetly ran over her breast, his face unchanged as he stared into the dancing flames. The physician looked at him and he placed a soft kiss to her lips. Athenacia pulled him closer, tasting him and then she was placed on her back, the large man hovering above her while still keeping their connection.
Gladiolus met her gaze and she could see his eyes darken, her hand reaching to cup his cheek and guide him back to her. His other arm came around her and she sighed when his lips found the sensitive flesh of her neck. Athenacia's hand found the small of his back, his shirt long gone since they had arrived. The Shield moved a strand of hair from her face, lingering his fingers there after tucking it behind her ear. The ripples in her body as she looked at him, every touch sending her nearly over the edge. The waves crashed onto the coast and she felt that she was moving with them, her own flow of love for this man every second she drank him in. Heat pooled to her core when he once again ran over her erect nipple.
Athenacia hooked her leg on his hip, drawing him closer and raking her fingers through his hair. The large man captured her lips vigorously, reacting purely to the way she rolled into him so subtly. The way his body tensed at her movements, the small grunts that she swallowed invigorated her, his mouth moving lower to your collar bone. One of his hands had already snaked itself high enough to lift off her body. The girl shuddered when the wind kissed her flawless skin and he pulled down the fabric of her bra, capturing her breast. A light moan escaped her once his tongue rolled over the hardened nub, back arching when his hand squeezed the other at the tip. Athenacia was quick to undo the garment, moving it so that he wasn't so restricted in his actions. Gladio switched and her hips rolled involuntarily, whimpering lightly and encouraging him to continue.
The man knew her body well, mapped it out years ago and exploited her sensitive areas in order to make her squirm. It worked every time, riling her up before allowing the cool breeze to bring her back down. His hands had dipped lower, one grabbing a rear cheek as the other caressed her hip before coming back up. Athenacia went to reach for him - only to have her wrists held in place as he was able to pull her pants free of her body. The only way to still her movements was to kiss that tender skin, lightly and causing her breath to hitch. That tongue explored inside her petals, the sweet nectar from her ready to make him lose his self control. It was getting harder to keep her wrists at bay, her thighs closing over his ears and muffling her loving sounds. He plunged in further, pulling her legs for better access and allowing one of her hands to find the back of his head, entangled in his hair while her body writhed above him.
When he stopped completely he was quick to hold her down before she took control. The hungry look in her hazel hues drove him wild, one finger pushing past her soiled entrance and making her arch once more, desperate for him to move. Gladio watched her, that delicate face in pure bliss as her hips rolled and he remained still, linger over her and trying to keep himself from taking her. One of his hands still held her in place as the other allowed another finger to join the first, really enjoying the way she moved on him. Gradually, those moans grew louder, her pace increasing and he curled his fingers slightly, making her eyes wide as electricity shot through her body when she grazed against that heavenly bundle of nerves deep within her. The man smirked, straightening out while she chased that high she found, becoming more determined with each passing second.
"Gladio," she seethed, unsure if she was more upset that he wasn't moving or denying her what she wanted.
"Yeah?" his smile grew.
"Fini-"
The words didn't come out, Gladiolus curling his fingers again and making her throw her head back, a near thunderous moan erupting from her throat. Athenacia's body clenched around him, trying to increase her speed until he straightened himself out again, winding her down. The man lowered himself, biting down on her shoulder.
"You're holding back," he said, "I'll give you what you want if you stop."
"I'm not," she whimpered.
Gladio repeated his motions inside her, another cry leaving her, almost echoing into the night. When she was almost at her peak, he stopped, almost laughing at her disappointed sigh when he did so. The look she gave him would have been dangerous if he wasn't holding her down and in control. In defiance, she stopped moving, no longer doing the work despite that her body quivered with need. Quirking a brow, he began to pump her, a surprised moan sounding from her lips as she arched into him.
"Nice try," he said, "Stop holding back."
"I... I... Oh!"
Again he curled those fingers, this time his pace set despite that she was moving with him - likely without even knowing. The large man growled when she dug her nails deep into his skin, attempting to pull him closer.
"That's it, baby," he encouraged, taking his fingers away.
Gladio captured her lips, swallowing her surprise before burying himself deep within her. The slick walls surrounded him, fully sheathed and focused on that face, staring up at him while she adjusted to his girth. He took his cue from her, slowly moving while lost in her eyes. It wasn't long before he set his own rhythm, all that pent up desire exploding with each thrust. Athenacia held on tightly, matching him and singing the song he wanted in his ear. Those nails pierced his shoulder, drawing blood at the top but not on the trail down his arm. His growl reverberated through her body, his own teeth claiming the junction of her neck and her own shoulder.
They were completely gone, lost to each other and not holding anything back. There was always passion in their love, in nearly every action they took together, however, this moment was so intense Athenacia wasn't sure she could endure it all. Gladiolus slammed into her, ripped her hair when he needed it, pulled flesh into his mouth and left marks, invigorating her and bringing her every so much closer to the edge. He caught her eye again, her entire being completely unravelled and it wasn't long after that before her rapture crashed through her body, sealed with a deafening moan and cry of his name. Gladio held her in place as he chased his own release, meeting her in bliss shortly afterward and keeping her quivering body close.
A hand cupped her cheek, drawing her in for a chaste kiss, both of them still deprived of air from their earlier activities. The Shield kept his forehead against hers, still within her and coated in sweat. Being close to her, hell, even having her in a time like this when the world was in ruin was truly a blessing. He was lucky that after all this time they were still together and that all their obstacles were overcome. Gladio kissed her once more, knowing from that look in her hazel orbs that she was thinking the same as him.
...
Gladiolus and Athenacia remained at that haven for a few days, tangled in each other and having no desire to interact with anyone else. It was the strangest and most relaxing time she had in a while. One morning they both woke up and were not nearly as compelled as before for their physical connection. They both knew it was time to go home and resume life as they knew it. Of course, that didn't stop them from dragging on their vacation until they finally returned to Lestallum.
When the two of them returned, she was back to the hospital and he took off after a couple days on a hunt. Athenacia didn't know that he'd be gone for a week, so she was sorely upset that she hadn't seen him, thinking of their time together before he had gone. The girl smiled, having no idea that he would come back and that she would discover that secret she kept in her womb after he was gone again.
...
thanks!
