Chapter 27:

Possible Residence:

Shego and Ayumi laid in bed together, both breathing heavily as sweat glistened their bodies from their previous activity.

"Wow. That was just...wow."

Shego said, feeling slightly lightheaded.

"Heh, if you think that was amazing just imagine how it's going to be, when you finally let me take you all the way."

Ayumi said, using her nail to lazily draw circles on Shego's hip. She couldn't help but to admire Shego's skin.

"It's so soft and delicate. It reminds me of a porcelain doll."

Ayumi thought. Just then, she realized she never did find out why Shego was no longer green.

"You know, you never did tell me why you aren't green anymore."

"Anubis took my comet powers."

"Anubis? You mean that Egyptian god that looks like a dog?"

"Yep. Word to the wise, never try to steal something from a god."

"Duly noted."

The two women then fell into a comfortable silence, just enjoying each other's company. As they laid there Shego suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back. She tried her best to hide the pain, but it did not go unnoticed by Ayumi.

"Babe, you okay?"

Shego didn't say anything, and instead rolled over and bit the pillow to stop herself from screaming too loud. When she rolled over the covers fell away from her, and Ayumi got a clear shot of her back. It was then she noticed that the helm of awe was glowing, and the rest of Shego's back was an angry red color.

"Damn, that looks like it hurts."

Ayumi thought. She then gently placed her hand onto Shego's back, only to be shocked for doing so.

"Ahh, damn that hurt!"

Ayumi yelled, shaking her hand and blowing on it to help soothe the pain.

"S-Sorry."

Shego spoke through gritted teeth. Her back was hurting worse than it ever had before.

"It's okay, but do you mind telling me what the hell is going on?"

"I'm not exactly sure. This has happened before, and while it hurt like hell it wasn't as bad as it is now."

"Well can I get you anything?"

"There should be some ointment in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. It was used last time to help with the burning sensation, so maybe it'll help this time too."

"Alright, I'll be back shortly."

Ayumi then left to go get the ointment. She returned just seconds later. She then squeezed some of the ointment onto Shego's back, and began to rub it in.

"Thank goodness she isn't shocking me anymore."

Ayumi thought, continuing to rub the ointment on Shego's back.

"Are you feeling any better?"

"A little. It doesn't burn as bad as it used to, but it still hurts a lot."

"Any idea what's causing it?"

"No. Also, I only ever remember the helm of awe appearing whenever I was in danger. However, I'm currently not in any danger. At least I don't think I am."

"Well do you feel safe around me?"

"I…"

Shego paused for a moment, thinking over Ayumi's question.

"If you don't feel safe around me I understand."

"It's not that I don't feel safe around you."

"Then what is it?"

"It's hard to explain. It's kinda like I feel safe and protected when I'm with you, but at the same time I feel like you could turn on me at any minute."

"You were always like that with me?"

"What do you mean?"

"You always had this wall up around me. It was as if you were afraid to let it down completely. I don't blame you though. I wasn't exactly the world's greatest girlfriend, and I know you kept that wall up to protect yourself. However, you know I won't hurt you, so why keep your wall up now?"

"I guess I'm still afraid you'll go back to your old ways. That I'll become nothing more than a mere punching bag to you, that occasionally gives you pleasure."

Upon hearing Shego utter these words, Ayumi could feel her heart start to break.

"That's not gonna happen again. Not now, not ever. I'm not gonna screw up like I did the last time. I'm gonna protect you and love you like I should have from the very beginning. I lost you once, and I'll be damned if I have to go through the pain of losing you again."

Ayumi's words spoke volumes to Shego. Never in a million years did she think that they would be back together again, yet here they were lying naked in the same bed together.

"Funny how life works out sometimes."

Shego thought. She then rolled over onto her side, so that she could get a proper look at the woman next to her.

"Is your back feeling better, my love?"

Shego gave a nod, blushing slightly at Ayumi's nickname for her. They then laid there, and stared into each other's eyes. In Ayumi's eyes Shego could see love, protection, strength, and passion. In Shego's eyes Ayumi could see fear, uncertainty, love, and something else. Something that was almost unbelievable.

"Is that lust?"

Ayumi wondered. It was then she realized that Shego was checking her out.

"Someone's thinking some very naughty thoughts right now."

Ayumi thought, watching as Shego continued to view her body with lust filled eyes. Ayumi then leaned in close to Shego, and whispered huskily into her ear.

"You want me to take you, don't you?"

Ayumi then gave Shego's rear a firm squeeze, causing her to let out a soft moan.

"Just say the word and I'll take you right here, right now."

Ayumi then began to leave a trail of kisses on Shego's neck and collarbone.

"Oh god, I want her so bad but it's not the right time."

Shego thought, feeling a strong heat in between her legs. She knew if she didn't stop Ayumi now it would be too late. So, breaking herself from the trance she seemed to be in, she managed to find her voice.

"S-Stop."

Much to Shego's surprise, Ayumi stopped.

"You...You stopped."

"Of course I did. After all, you did ask me to."

"I know. I just wasn't expecting you to stop right after I told you to."

"Well it's like I said, I'm not gonna screw up like I did the last time. If you don't want me to do something I won't do it. No matter how badly I want to."

"You really have changed, haven't you?"

"I have. Don't get me wrong though, I'd love nothing more than to take you here and now, but I will do no such thing unless you say you want me to. Although, I'm kinda surprised you told me to stop. Looking at you right now, I can see you're in need of some form of release."

Ayumi said, staring at Shego's most intimate area. This only caused Shego to blush, and attempt to cover herself.

"Why don't I give you some privacy."

Ayumi then got up and slipped on her panties. She then walked over to the closest and slipped on a large T-shirt, before heading downstairs.

Once she was alone, Shego wasted no time in giving herself some much needed release.

Meanwhile downstairs, Kim was staring at the half naked woman in her kitchen drinking orange juice.

"Keep staring like that and I'm gonna start charging you."

Ayumi said, not even bothering to look at Kim.

"It's kinda hard not to stare, when there's a half naked woman in my kitchen. Who are you anyway?"

Ayumi didn't answer and instead set her glass down, then turned around to face Kim. Once Kim got a look at her face, or more specifically her eyes, she immediately recognized who she was.

"Ayumi?"

"Ah, so I see Ciel's told you about me. And you must be Kim."

"Yeah. Wait, who's Ciel?"

"You know her as Shego."

Kim's eyes widened a bit, which did not go unnoticed by Ayumi.

"You didn't actually think Shego was her real name, did you?"

"Well...uh yeah, kinda."

Kim said, rubbing the back of her neck and giving Ayumi a sheepish look.

"I like Ciel a lot better though. It sounds so…"

"Normal?"

"I was going to say beautiful."

"Well she is beautiful. Especially when you see her in her most vulnerable form."

"When is that?"

"When she's naked."

"Ahem, I see."

Kim said, a light blush creeping to her cheeks.

"So she must've been the one in the room with her earlier. That means it was the two of them that I heard...Oh my god!"

Ayumi couldn't help but laugh at Kim's facial expression.

"I took it, you heard us."

"Uh...yeah."

"No need to be embarrassed, at least you didn't open the door. Besides, we weren't doing what you think."

"Then what were you doing, because it sure as hell sounded like that."

"Let's just say I was giving Ciel some much needed affection. I can tell she's been going through a lot. I mean, it can't be easy to have to live with your nemesis."

"True. Although she doesn't necessarily have to live here. The deal we had was as long as she doesn't do anything evil, I won't call Global Justice. It doesn't really matter where she's staying. Besides, she's also here because she doesn't exactly have a home to go to."

"Yeah, her brothers aren't exactly the most ideal people to live with."

Kim nodded in understanding.

"So, what's She- I mean Ciel doing now?"

Ayumi got a mischievous smirk on her face and she leaned in close to Kim. She proceeded to tell Kim exactly what Shego was up to.

"You know how they say lying is wrong? Well in cases such as this it is 100% okay."

Kim said, trying to get the image of what Shego was doing out of her head.

"Oh, don't be such a prude. I'm sure you've done it before too."

"Well yes, but it's not something I go around telling other people about."

"Why not, it's only natural?"

"It's also something private. I mean, do you honestly go around telling people what you do when you're alone?"

"Not really, but I do tell people what I do to Ciel when she's with me. Hearing her moan in ecstasy is such a turn on."

Kim's blush deepened and she awkwardly cleared her throat.

"I see. That's uh...interesting."

"So tell me Kim, do you have a special someone in your life?"

"There's my boyfriend, Ron."

"And how far have you gone with him?"

"I'm not answering that."

"Why not? Have you not gotten very far with him?"

"No, I've gotten pretty far with him in our relationship. I just don't think it's any of your business. Why do you want to know anyways?"

"I'm just curious. Although I bet you haven't even made it past first base with your boyfriend."

"You'd lose that bet."

Ayumi raised an eyebrow at Kim.

"Oh, is that so?"

Kim gave a nod.

"So tell me, how far have the two of you gone?"

Kim could see that Ayumi would not let up, so she decided to just get it over with.

"For your information, we've gotten all the way to third base."

Ayumi let out a low whistle.

"Color me impressed. I didn't think you'd have gotten that far."

"How far have you gone with Ciel?"

"To tell you the truth, I've only gotten to second base with her."

This time it was Kim's turn to be surprised.

"Seriously? But she's like the type that would...Well you know."

"Yeah, well I'd like nothing more than to ravish that beautiful body of hers, but she only lets me do certain things to her and touch her in certain places. When things start to get hot and heavy between us, she wants to stop."

"How come?"

"I'm honestly not sure. Despite us being together for as long as we were, she still kept secrets from me."

"How long were the two of you together for?"

"Let's see, we started dating when we were thirteen, and broke up when we were seventeen. So, four years."

"Why did you break up?"

Ayumi let out a long sigh, and looked down at the ground.

"I was a bitch to her. I treated Ciel more like an object than a person. To be honest, I still can't believe she's giving me another chance. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve her."

"So if you treated her so poorly, why is she giving you another chance? If you ask me, she doesn't seem like the type that would."

Ayumi was about to answer, before a voice from behind interrupted her.

"It's because I still love her."

Shego said, standing in the doorway of the kitchen in nothing but a large T-shirt. Her hair was tied up in a loose ponytail.

"Hey honey, all better?"

Ayumi asked, walking over to Shego and wrapping her arms around her waist.

"Yeah."

"Good, I'm glad."

Ayumi then gave Shego a kiss on the cheek.

"So tell me, whose name did you cry out when you set yourself over the edge? Mine or Kim's?"

Shego covered her face with her hands, and let out a loud groan.

"Ayumi, why did you have to ask that?"

"Because I love embarrassing you. Besides, I think Kim is enjoying your embarrassment as well."

Ayumi said, noting that Kim was trying her best to suppress a giggle. Shego just crossed her arms over her chest and mumbled something incoherent.

"Aww, don't get so upset baby cakes, you know how much I love to tease you."

"You know I don't like your teasing."

"You like it when I tease you like this."

Ayumi then ran her hand up Shego's T-shirt, and began rubbing her inner thigh.

"Ay, not in front of Kim."

Shego said, trying her best to hold back a moan. Kim could only stare at the two women in front of her, unsure of what to do or say. Fortunately for her though, Ayumi removed her hand from Shego's thigh.

"Alright, I won't give her a show. Unless of course she wants one."

Ayumi said, turning her attention to Kim and giving her a wink.

"Ahem, no thank you."

"Suit yourself."

Ayumi then took Shego by the hand, and led her back upstairs. Just thinking about giving Shego pleasure was putting her in the mood again, and now she needed some lovin' from her dark haired vixen.

Kim just shook her head as she watched the pair retreat upstairs.

"I think I need to go take a cold shower...in Antarctica."
