WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: March 7
WHERE: Lithuania
WHAT: It's in! (with complications)
WARNING: Sex. (Finally)


It was mid afternoon when Greed started to stir. They'd spent the night making their own subtitles to some foreign film on the t.v., snuggled together until they fell asleep. Zoe had been first, then Greed wrapped her up with blankets and himself quick to follow. He liked being wrapped up around her in ribbons, tight ribbons, as if he could protect what little time they had here.

She was still asleep when he wiped the sleep out if his eyes, pulling his arm out from under her. The blanket had been shoved off her arms, hanging loosely at her waist. He was about to cover her up, drawing it up when he saw the cluster of freckles on her arm. He threw back the blanket poking one freckled with a soft touch of his finger. He traced it to another one down her arm to her elbow. He continued tracing an invisible line to each one all the way to the side of her thigh, form her leg. He had seen the ones on her face on her cheeks, her neck and collarbone, but there were all kinds of them sprinkled all over. He was entranced.
-------
The night had been a lot of fun, snuggling and laughing, it was what they were good at. Being friends. So Zoe had accepted what they decided. Just friends. In a way it was for the best, she would never get what she wanted from Greed. Not what she truly wanted... and good friends were hard to find. His habit of being her blanket or pillow was something she was used to. And while a lot of people would have found the way they sleep to be suffocating, Zoe found it comforting.

She shifted in her sleep when he started touching her but let out a breath as she settled in again, since she didn't have his arm anymore, she hugged the pillow with one arm. Her now dry hair fell to the side as she moved her head to get comfortable and showed the smattering of freckles across her shoulders and more promised to be hidden under her cami on her back but he couldn't see them. He'd seen her naked back before but it'd been by moonlight and he hadn't really appreciated the small nuances of her freckles back then.
---------
They draped over each other like cats in front of a warm window. They curled up on each other in ways that would disgust Lust. He never snuggled with her, even his floozies didn't get that kind of honor.

Greed paused when she moved, going back to his feathered touches when she settled. He traced back up her leg, blue eyes following that trail now to her the naked skin of her shoulders, the peek of them scattered on her upper back. He peeled up the side of her cami, stealing a look under. He scooter in closer, sliding a finger against her hip, the side of her tummy until he was stopped again by the fabric. He pulled it out, trying to look under it as if it were a tent, but unless she moved or woke up he wasn't going to see. He contemplated a moment on if he should take it off or not.
-------
Zoe squirmed in her sleep when his touches continued. Her eyes opened just a crack and she didn't move as he kept exploring but her brain was hazy still. When he tried to peek under her cami, she gave up and murmured, "Whatreyoudoin..." maybe he could give her a sane answer.
------
"Connecting dots with your freckles." He looked like he'd been caught red handed, he had that not so innocent face planted on that was pretending to be innocent. He scaled a soft touch from her knee up her leg, "you have so many." He'd never gotten a chance to actually explore them before. He really did like the way they decorated her body. It was a solar system on her skin. The milky way was literally on her back with a million branches of stars.
------
Zoe's laughter was muffled by the pillow, a smile on her face as she didn't move, "Oh. Okay." she said like it was something so ridiculous, "Don't use a sharpie." She mmm'd in her throat when he did the light touch on her leg, "And stop tickling. Was born this way..." she said with a yawn, burying her face in the pillow again.
------
Greed slid the tip of his nose in place of fingers with the spots on her shoulders. He followed that with an extra soft trail of kisses. Much better than a sharpie.
------
Zoe's eyes popped open when she felt his lips on her skin that was now tingling. Snuggling and occasional kisses on the lips were fine, but Greed was crossing an area into intimate here. She flung out a hand, pressing it against his face as she lightly pushed him away, "Cut it out..." she said in a slightly irritated but low voice.
------
Greed paused pushing her hand away as she shoved it in his face. He grumped but didn't say a word. Wjen she settled again he went back to those feathery touches, this time his lips scanned her neck, his nose tickling her ear. He didn't kiss this time, just let himself feel her skin against those pouty lips, his breath the small, igniting touch to her skin.
-------
Zoe couldn't figure out if Greed was really horny or still asleep to be doing this. Her body reacted to his touch, she couldn't help that but she did whine, "Stoooooop..." all of a sudden tugging the covers up and over her head to cut him off completely. He was being a jackass right now and she was too tired to deal with it.
-----
Greed griped when she reacted. This was nuts. The all sexual being that he was and he had no idea how to seduce the girl he was head over heels for. He settled back under the covers, yanking them until she was left with nothing. He curled them up, bunching himself into a cocoon. "I just wanted to look," he pouted, wrestling himself under the covers to get comfortable.
------
Zoe opened her eyes again and gave him a dull look since he stole all the covers. She grabbed the covers and yanked and tugged until she got into that cocoon as well. She stuck her tongue out at him with her eyes closed, "Nyah." as she curled up right next to him, practically half on him. She sighed as she got warm again, "I find it hard to believe I'm the only girl you've ever seen upclose that has freckles." her eyes opened just a tiny bit.
-----
"Stop. These are my covers. I'm not giving them back." He wrestled her until she was snug up on him like a cat. "What if you are? You going to toss that aside too like you do when I say I love you? I get it. I have to deal with it. Fucking human bullshit." He wrestled with the covers some more, but she was in them now. He huffed and puffed laying on his back with a frustrated growl. He closed his eyes, maybe he could sleep a few more hours.
------
Like always, Zoe made him share whether he wanted to or not. If he was going to be so tight with the covers, she'd be squished with him to have some. The breath got slammed out of her as he said his causal admission and she stiffened, she was so tense it was like she was frozen. Her heart was trying to break free of her rib cage and run off. No, she misheard him right? Her mind raced through every conversation they'd ever had but she knew he'd never told her he loved her so he was being crazy, right? Of course he was. Think about it logically. He'd been with thousands of women, what were the chances that none of them had freckles? Zero. Unless he'd found freckles ugly or not noticed them but he wasn't that blind. It was jet lag, his Sin being zapped, the new country, he hadn't eaten, and he hadn't slept much. That was it. Okay, she felt better and let out the breath she'd been holding.

After a minute of silence she spoke, "You know what I think.. I think you're just jealous and want more freckles yourself." she pressed the pad of her finger down on the freckle he had on his cheek near all his stubble.
------
He smacked at her hand playfully. "Stop it," he grumbled. That had gone as unnoticed as he expected. She wanted him to share things and yet---she had just shoved off his serious feelings. Rude. He could see right then and there how horrible it felt. He'd rigged this himself though. Wove the web that he couldn't ever have it, so maybe that was the curse. However much he wanted it, obtaining it naturally was never going to happen.

"I don't have freckles like you. You have a solar system on your back alone."
------
Zoe poked his cheek again lightly despite his playful swat. She put an arm around him and buried her face into his neck, sighing on his skin. "You don't want a solar system on your back." she said in a muffled voice. Tears were coming to her eyes and she fell quiet, just staying wrapped around him and using his neck to hide her quiet crying. As much as she ignored his words, they still triggered her own emotions. He lumped love with freckles. She knew he didn't mean it. He had some stupid foot in mouth moment but it was all she wanted and knew she couldn't have. Even in passing, it was cruel. They kissed less here in a place where they could do more and she was expected to believe he dredge up some emotions for her somehow? She just needed a few minutes. This was all she was going to get and she was taking it god damnit.
------
"How am I going to connect the dots on my own back. Besides," he looked off at the god awful wallpaper in the room, "yours are prettier." He couldn't hear her crying, but he could feel the tears. He swallowed heavily not really knowing how to bounce out of this one. Each turn was a new hole he'd stepped down without realizing. He was far more uncomfortable here than he'd thought, the vulnerability was enough to make his inner Greed vomit.

He ran a hand down her back hoping it quieted some of those tears of hers, because he was never going to not make them fall.
------
She shook her head and groaned when he rubbed her back, "I'm okay.." she said quietly and then sniffled, "I haven't leaked since we got here, was bound to happen." she tried to make light of it because she knew he hated her tears. She let him go just to quickly wipe at her eyes as she cleared her throat, "So.. last day here, what do you wanna do?"
-----
"Yeah I know, I've done all the leaking." It was disgusting. His hand didn't still, just that soft back and forth motion on her back. He didn't want to get out of bed, he'd been glued to it since they'd arrived.

He stole a kiss from her when her tears were dry.
-----
"It's good for you. A sign of being emotionally healthy." she wasn't crazy about leaving the bed either. "Or a basket case." she let him steal the kiss, touching his cheek gently and reflexively when he did it. This is what they did. Snuggles and kisses. When it broke she looked in his eyes. They tried. They really did. It was just strange with how everyone had been against them... in the end it had nothing to do with the fact he was a sin and she was a mortal. She didn't know if that made her feel better or worse. "Breakfast." she blurted out as if afraid he could read her thoughts, "I can make some eggs and bring them back here."
------
He lingered on her lips until she pulled back. He shook his head in a no fashion. He wasn't hungry. He wasn't desperate to move. Both hands clasped her face, thumbs circling her cheeks. He pulled her in for another kiss, but this one wasn't as quick. His heart was practically slamming inside his chest. He shouldnt be new to her rejection, when he was he only hit back. The fact that he could eat his heart now was a sign he actually stumbling over himself. He just had to keep going.

Invitation or not he parted her lips with his tongue, opening the door for something a little more intimate than a little kiss.
------
Zoe had a deer in the headlights look when Greed took her face in his hands, "What're you--" was all she managed to get out before his lips were on hers. She blinked a few times as he kissed her, how randy was he? Her hand rested on his chest and when he took that kiss deeper, her eyes finally closed even if she was trying to lean back as if maybe to subconsciously break the kiss again.
-----
His human boy-self was going to ruin this again like it had in Kansas if he didn't react. The Greed in his mind was doing a victory dance after smacking him repeatedly in the head with a steel pole. He was never worried about rejection, sin face gone or not, he needed a boot in the ass. Her reminding him that this was the last day just drove him over the edge.

He wouldn't let her escape that kiss. No. He'd had enough of that. It wasn't as rushed as usual, but between his unnatural heartbeat and his lack of air, he was bound to get as foggy-headed as her.
------
Zoe wanted this. She wanted him. But she didn't understand it. Then again, when did she ever understand Greed? She was confused because he had agreed they weren't meant for this. So was he just doing it because she was there and why not? She wanted to enjoy it and just do the original idea, whatever the reason for it was to go for it. But she couldn't. There was a surge of desire from her as her hand went up and grabbed the side of his neck as she pushed into the kiss. Her fingers went up the back of his neck, his hair flipping through them. She broke the kiss a little out of breath, her lips at the side of his mouth as she managed to quietly get out the words, "Don't play with me.." it was a warning, it was a plea, it was a command, it was her begging him that if this was some pity lay, if this was some morning wood he needed taken care of to not do this. It would mean more to her than him and she wouldn't survive it. But it was even more than that. He always called her his toy but she was stating something here. She was more than a toy now.
------
"I'm not," he promised her, but he was tired of this ongoing circle. He wasn't going to be able to walk away out of this country without regretting every second if he didn't act. It was very un-Greed to give up and give in. He wasn't going to fold. The cards were out on the table, all she had to do was play. His hands dropped to stay snug on the curve of her hips.

Her hair tickled his face as it fell against his cheek, he pulled it back with his hand so he could see her face. So she could see his eyes, make contact. He meant this. No more rejection, no more running a race with no finish line.
-------
She believed him. How long he wouldn't play with her she didn't know. When they got back to New York, she'd be a toy again. All their problems would be waiting for them. So she tried to silence the voices in her head and focus on the now. She looked in his eyes and they seemed calm... sure. She still felt like Virtue Ninjas were going to come crashing through the window but it was just the two of them and nobody else around. She touched his cheek as if she couldn't believe it. Her eyes lowered to look at his lips and then back to his blues.. was he really all hers for right now?
------
"I'm all yours," he whispered as if he'd been able to read her mind. He hadn't, he just felt exactly the same thing. Enough thinking, enough throwing up blockades at each other.

His hand whisped back down her arm. He dragged himself up so that his back rested against the headboard, her sinking into his lap. If he was going to do this he was going to enjoy all of her. Just as he had earlier, he trailed kisses up her arm along that line of freckles, reaching her neck where he ghosted his nose across, light kisses following his little path. Time to take control instead of letting his emotions control the outcome, though those were bound to beat him up later.
------
He was all hers. She tried not to think for how long. Because the answer would depress her but for the moment, every inch of mind, heart, and soul (yes she believed he had one) was hers. She was a little dazed that this was happening as she ended up in his lap. They'd tried for days and as always when they stopped trying it happened. She put an arm around his neck as he kissed the other one and closed her eyes tilting her head back when his kisses decided to claim territory up there. She turned again to capture his lips because they hadn't had a real kiss since they got here. They'd kissed but not a real one. One without barriers and blockades, She shed that last bit of doubt and kissed him fully, not holding back an ounce of love for him. She'd never gotten to kiss him like that before and she enjoyed it more than she ever imagined.
------
Jesus Christ that felt kind of out of this world. His head was already spinning, his body expecting that immediate increase in temperature. It never came, he was still alive, heart beat and not sick as a dog. When he paused to catch his breath, he looked at her a little bemused. "Not the human torch," he joked diving right back into that kiss because it never got to last long.
-------
Zoe smiled a little, "Just human.." right now he was a real boy expressing love with a real girl. She curled her other hand into his hair as he kissed her again and it felt good.. no, great to be able to kiss him without worry of killing him. She knew they weren't in the clear yet, They were trading his sickness for headaches and who knew what else by being here... but for right now, it was amazing to kiss him and despite the urgency her kisses had, it wasn't hunger, it was unbridled love that was in her kisses. Other couples probably couldn't understand the thrill they were getting from just kissing right now but other couples took for granted what they were able to do. There was so much more to explore but right now.. it was almost a giddy feeling that they could get this far.
-------
His arms encased her, letting his fingers grope skin, dimples left from where he let them go. The longer they kissed the more he wanted it to keep going. It opened up that cage of butterflies again, letting them toss around in his stomach. His lips were swollen as they'd spent all this time in nothing but deep, hungry kisses. Exploring her mouth was a feat in its own, he'd never gotten to for more than a few minutes. "I need to breathe," he teased, gently squeezing her thighs. He felt a little dizzy.
------
She touched his cheek shaking her head, "No, you don't..." she grinned and kissed him lightly. But she looked worried all of a sudden, her touch not playful but concerned as she remembered that this place might have results they didn't anticipate, "Are you okay? Do you feel sick or hot?"
------
"I'm fine, just a little warm." His face was a slight pinky hue, nothing at all like the bright face, hot and heavy red he'd turn by now. Mostly he was just trying to remember his own name, he was floating all over the place.
------
He wasn't burning hot, no fever levels. She knew what those felt like. She smiled a little, "Me too." this level was natural. This was their bodies reacting to each other, not his sin repelling her love. But she didn't mind taking a break. This was new territory for both of them. She had to admit she was surprised by how.. well, she just thought he was going to be completely smooth but he was as lost as she was. And she adored him for it.
-----
"Oh, well that's good," He was used to a quick, hot frenzy with Lust. There was passion but it was on a different planet than this and they weren't even any further than lip-locking.

He raked his fingers up her legs, looking a little like a starry-eyed kid who was told he could go for a train ride. He knew where this went, knew how to get from point A to point B, but he was going at this at the same speed as she was.
-------
She nodded as she traced her hand over his shoulder and down his bulging arm. She never actually got to look at his body. It was always glimpses here and there. "Really good..." she said idly as she touched the groove of his muscles.
------
He looked as she grazed his arm "I'm not a statue, you can touch." She could rub him down if she wanted, he like feeling her touch. His arm was the size of her head, it was no wonder she felt safe when he held her, there was nowhere for her to go or anything that would break through that wall of muscle.
------
She smiled slowly as she looked at his skin, tracing a vein in his forearm with her fingers, "And I didn't even have to pray to Venus..." referencing the story of Pygmalion they'd talked about in the car. But she then laughed as she thought about it, "I am touching, what do you want me to do, punch you?" she dropped a kiss in the curve of his neck that met his shoulder.
------
"You could punch me, but I like this." Everything about her seemed delicate. Soft, whispy. He closed he's eyes, a light shiver hitting his skin at the touch, from her lips and fingers.

If angels started singing on the end, then he'd know he'd reached heaven.
------
Zoe looked at his face with his eyes closed, "You're not gonna make me call you 'my bitch' are you..?" she didn't sound like she'd like that.

She shifted in his lap and moved closer to his face, there were those gorgeous eyelashes of his. Thick and dark and fluffy, "You have the most amazing eyelashes. It's like they were meant for a girl." she said so close to him he could feel the brush from her lips against his skin. She grinned, "And you have another freckle right here.." she kissed his cheek where it was. Her hand all the while traveling back up his arm and lightly across his shoulder.
-------
"Would you? That would be kind of fun." He laughed with that pretty, lopsided grin.

"Girly eyelashes? Well that doesn't make me feel sexy at all." But her lips did. He nudged her cheek with his nose. "Your hands are soft," he countered, his skin tingling with the thought of her next touch. They would eventually get this going, he was just enjoying being under her attention, no matter how small.
------
Zoe laughed incredulously, "Ummm... I dunno, that's kinda weird. I'd like to think I'm not like your other girls."

She chuckled, "Sorry, I meant manly sexy eyelashes." her eyes were practically sparkling and when he nudged her cheek with his nose, she gave him a kiss. Something small and sweet. "So're your lips." and he did have soft lips, lush and fun like bubblegum. She looked at his lips and said, "I shouldn't play favorites but I think I like this one better..." she kissed just his bottom lip.
-------
"Who says they aren't my bitch? Mmmm," he kissed her cheek, "your not my bitch," he whispered, "you're my Zoe." He drove his hands up her sides, gripping the flesh he could feel under her cami.

His breath shuttered, sucking on her lip once they collided in her little kiss. "My top lip is jealous," he tugged the corner of his mouth into a half grin.
------
Zoe wrinkled her nose even while he kissed her cheek but then she gave a shy smile as he called her his. It was kinda possessive but she found it very sweet.

She mmmm'd against his lips and broke the kiss briefly to say, "It's making a very convincing argument.." before she went back to kissing him, her hand trailing across his collar bone like piano keys.
-----
He crushed her to him, his arms an envelope around her curvy form. "Is it?" He breathed against her lips, turning that kiss into a deeper one. When she felt as if she had to break for air he leaned off the headboard, settling her into the mattress with a squeak of the springs. He settled against her, melting into her with another kiss that he took from her lips to her neck, teasing her with a little tug to her earlobe between his teeth. He felt dizzy again, but it was like riding up a roller coaster. They were waiting for the ride to start. It was the anticipation.

Greed slipped his hand up her leg, revisiting those freckles he'd been so entranced with hours before. They speckled up her thigh, her hip, and probably places he had yet to see.
-------
Her response was basically sounds and she didn't think she could form coherent words at the moment as he kissed her and suddenly she was on the mattress. She kissed him deeply and couldn't help but smile a little since he wasn't about to die or explode. It was kinda a trip. She became nervous when she felt his hand on her leg, her foot sliding up and bending at the knee.
------
He wandered what pathway he could form with them now. His lips caressed the line from her collarbone up her neck, his hands reaching under the cami. "You have them everywhere?"

He could feel her heart skip a notch or two. His was fluttering equally as fast.
------
Zoe's eyes were closed as she enjoyed Greed's trails of kisses but they opened when she felt his hands going under her cami. It was ridiculous to be shy since ultimately this whole thing was going to end in sex and nudity but she couldn't help it. Last time they were this naked, with just them in their underwear it'd been dark at night, right now it was broad daylight. She knew what he was actually asking. She turned her lips in and kept her eyes on him, nodding slowly.
-----
If this were anyone else he'd have been completly naked and covered in sweat already. This was like s kid exploring under a new microscope. He lifted her cami so he could see her tummy where he pressed soft kisses for each little freckle he found after he traced it with his finger. "Nervous?" He asked softly with another kiss just above her navel.
------
Her tummy tightened when he touched and kissed at first, ultimately shivering as he kissed near her navel. She had freckles there but also had the scar from when he'd shot her, his own permanent mark on her. She chewed on her bottom lip and watched him, "Uh huh.."
------
He'd forgotten about that scar until he'd seen it, the tenderest brush of his lips over it. "You're more dressed than I am. It's only fair." After their wild game of strip two nights before, she owed him one.

He hadn't ever seen her in daylight, and even when he'd gotten a few peaks, it still felt like he was undressing her for the first time. The night they'd slept in underwear months ago, he'd still not seen a thing.

He lifted the cami a little higher, playing a game of peek-a-boo until he finally took it off, leaving her exposed to the sunlit room and his eyes.
------
Zoe closed her eyes when he took the cami off and she was literally more exposed than she'd ever been. Her face was burning, even her body turning pinkish. She couldn't look at him and really wanted to grab something to cover herself because this was weird and.. she sneaked a glance at him. When she saw the look on his face, she made a face and groaned a tiny bit, covering her face with her hands out of embarrassment.
------
He stared, he did, as if he hadn't seen a pair of breasts before. Lust would be ripping at his throat about now. Greed was slapping his head into the wall. But he was curious, the way he'd been when she first gave him a present. This was no different. This was a present, an entirely new one, so the light in his eyes literally bounced. He pulled her hands away from her face. "Don't hide," he laid her arms at her sides. He couldn't chain them to the bed but he could lay them there for now.

His breath ghosted against her skin in an unseen trail where his lips didn't quite touch yet, but threatened to. His hand however wasn't as discreet as it followed the same path. When he did finally let his lips travel he started from where the edge of her undies touched her belly---up, up, UP, until he was at her neck again.

He wanted to say something about her being nervous, but in all honesty he was a little jittery himself and he didn't know why.
-----
Zoe's hands stayed open as he pried them off her face and she looked at him with a bundle of nerves in her eyes. Lust had the perfect body, she was an encyclopedia on sex, and Zoe was... she couldn't compete with that. Even without Lust, all the other girls he named, she wasn't like them. She was tense and looked from him to the ceiling, releasing a shuddering breath as he moved up her torso. She relaxed a little and her arm went around his shoulders as he kissed her body, her other hand going into his hair and massaging his scalp.
------
She made his back break out into a field of goosebumps with each stroke of her fingers in his hair. His teeth raked down softly the more sensitive areas of her breasts, then little nips back up her neck. Then he realized he needed more kisses, because something had to plunge.

She had no reason to think of Lust or compare herself because Greed never did. It was just never like this with Lust---enjoying the flesh in a way before diving in for the ride. Not for this long, but Greed wanted to feel every inch of Zoe first. And he wasn't going to be a cactus up the nose as she had described of Mike.

His kiss was a little hungrier, more on fire, pressing himself onto her so she could feel his body heat. His hands still roamed, they had a lot of curves to explore. Whatever Zoe was embarrassed for, he would bring out the hungry, more sexual girl yet. He'd seen her before, just glimpses, but it was there. Her shyness was cute, but it wouldn't stay that way.
-------
Zoe was surprised at how much time Greed was taking, he normally described his encounters as hard and fast but this was anything but. She made little sounds of pleasure that he'd have never heard before because while kissing him was fantastic, it was nothing like what he was doing to her body. The more he kissed, the more relaxed she became. By the time he made it back to her mouth, her own kiss was bolder. She wanted him, she loved him, and right now it was mind blowing that she could express those things. Her leg hooked around his as she kissed him, her hand traveling over his broad back like exploring the desert. She pressed into his shoulderblade, grabbing on to him as if to make him come even closer, while the fingers of her other hand curled into the waistband of his boxers.
-----
Greed would have already been at the finish line at least three times already with anyone else. Just as he'd carefully handled the comic books she'd given him for his birthday, he handled her just the same. Zoe didn't realize his prized possessions were handled as if they might break. She was delicate, he couldn't handle her roughly. He didn't even think about time or how long he was taking. She was there for him to explore.

He lost his breath again in her heavy kisses, his own skin reacting to her touches. The sounds she last even better. He couldn't get any closer until there were no more clothing barriers. His hands rolled down her hips, pressing into her curves, sliding the hem of her undies down while they explored each other with kisses. He loved the feel of her mouth.
-----
Zoe broke the kiss when she felt him getting rid of the last pieces of clothing but she didn't stop him. She was nervous but she trusted him. She wanted him to know that and actions spoke louder than words. Like he got rid of her barrier, her own hand tugged down his boxers to free him from it. Her hand splayed out on his lower back and she inched her fingers down as she kissed him again as her fingers pressed into his backside. Which was as muscular as the rest of him. The part of her brain that was still functioning (it was a small part) was blown by how he could even have his butt to be amazing looking and feeling as the rest of him.
------
He wasn't going to change his mind now, the squeeze to his butt told him she wasn't either, but he did want to be sure. If he were at full sin self he wouldn't be able to control any influence he gave off. What was magical about this is he knew he wasn't making her decision for her.

He broke the kiss long enough to discard those boxers completely from around his hips. His head was cloudy but he still asked if she was sure...because there was no off switch once they went all in.
------
Zoe didn't answer right away but then she nodded. She kissed him a couple of times. She was sure. She was feeling like she was floating and Greed's touches and kisses were the greatest pleasure she'd ever known but she knew this next part was going to hurt. There was apprehension in her eyes and her body couldn't help but tense a little with muscle memory from how just last week Mike had tried to enter with a battering ram. It'd been two years for her, being with Greed felt like it was the first time all over again and unfortunately she'd have to experience the pain of it too. But she wanted to. With him she wanted to.
-------
He kissed her cheek sweetly, letting his fingers curl around her legs, be positive that she was ready for the jolt, that her body was too. It was like two teenagers trying this for the first time ever, and it was a nice high to feel that way when there was little room for surprises these days. He'd done, banged and been with all sorts of girls.

His skin seared a little at that first thrust, which was as gentle as he could make it. A dull ache to his body, almost like the beginnings of what a human would call a flu bug. With all his sin not gone, there would be some resistance no matter what he did.

He kissed her because he didn't want to see her cry of she did.
------
Zoe put her arms around him and tried to relax but she could have been goo and she'd still have felt it when he entered her. She inhaled sharply in a gasp, the fingers of one hand digging into his upper back as he slowly moved in. Her mouth stayed open, trying to breathe, her eyes closed tightly shut for a moment. It hurt, she wouldn't lie, it was painful but it felt good at the same time. She didn't cry, no tears in this situation, this was exactly where she wanted to be. She whimpered against his mouth as she kissed him.
-------
It was hard to concentrate really but on that rush of everything he was feeling. That cage of butterflies had breeded into a whole damn colony that was flapping around from his stomach up to his head. He clung to her legs, eventually breaking the kiss because he couldn't contain any noise that followed whatsoever. His voice betrayed him. He grabbed her hands and dragged her arms up over her head, gripping them with each surge of pleasure that washed over. It felt damn good, more than that actually even against the tender skin.

He didn't make any drastic change in pace until she was ready for that. He would be no battering ram.

This was what heaven was like. It had to be. He nuzzled her cheek with his nose, little kisses scattered against her face until he just buried his face in the crook of her neck.
-------
They weren't going hard or fast but there was a sheen of sweat already coating her body as Greed moved. The initial pain of it was fading and now it was more pleasure than anything else. She didn't know if it was the paradise Greed had been searching for but she felt what she'd described to him. This was what she'd been talking about. Her body relaxed and responded to him. She was giving herself to him, he wasn't taking or tricking or stealing.. she wanted him to have it.

She wriggled one hand loose to intertwine her fingers with his, holding tight. Her foot ran up the side of his leg and her long legs wrapped around his waist to keep him close. She wanted more.
-------
Jesus those legs of hers, it brushed and squeezed against his skin and he thought he was going to die into a supernova all at once. He was used to pleasure and pain twined together, but this? It was paradise, it literally made him shake. He squeezed her fingers, much like a match to the pulsating heartbeat of his. It was rapid.

He'd never shared anything in his life like this, he'd never been given so much without the kiss of his influence. He couldn't get any closer to her, it wasn't possible as they practically melted into each other.

His body was just as slick with sweat. She wanted more he gave her more.
-------
Zoe didn't know if Greed was feeling okay or not but he kept going and he wasn't like a ball of fire so that was a good sign. She kissed whatever part of him was closest to her lips and just wanted to feel all of him. Her breathing became shallow as the pace quickened and then she paused as she felt a surge of warmth spread inside her tummy and Greed go slack on top of her, his weight pressing into her. Oh.
------
He could control everything up until he was inside, then it was all up to his body, and Greed was used to things his way. It was a spring unloading. He could hardly think because it felt amazing and like someone was shredding a knife down his back---except all over. No fever, but those flu-like symptoms were there. His body was still shooting through tremors when he could actually catch his heartbeat out of his throat. There was still that breathing thing, yeah he'd forgotten how to.
------
Zoe slowly unhooked her ankles from around his waist but let her legs still be tangled with his. She didn't know what exactly to say or do. It was great, she loved having sex with Greed but she wasn't in the exact state he was in. She idly traced a pattern on his back with his weight on her as she waited for his breathing to come back. Her own breathing had been labored but was normal now. She pressed a kiss to his sweaty cheek.
--------
He had no idea that they weren't on the same page, he'd never exactly had any reason to think one way or the other. Greed usually, hell always got what he wanted and rolled over. Sex was never a personal thing for him.

Once he had enough energy he pulled out, sliding down from where he'd been burried. He rested his cheek on her chest, flinched against her touch because it still felt tender, as if she were using nails, not fingers.
------
Zoe squirmed when he pulled out because everything was sensitive and the gentle jostle still sent aftershocks through her. She couldn't believe it. She and Greed just had sex. They did it. She was here. Naked. With him. And they'd just had sex. Her mind was kinda blown but at the same time it seemed like this was where they'd been headed since the day they met. This cottage in this country in this bed with each other.

When he flinched, she looked down at him, "You okay?" she asked softly, she'd forgot to check in on him during.. but she had been in a daze.
-----
He was still a lump, everything was like jelly, he probably couldn't stand if he had to. He wasn't used to being worn out after one go. It was almost terrible that his body just collapsed after that, but he grinned just the same with a little, pleased chuckle. He wasn't laughing, but it had been about damn time...

"Sore...just a little." Just the aches and pains of a body that was waiting to get sick but never did, just held all the symptoms.
------
She kissed his hair, smiling a little, "Is that the sickness talking or should I take it as a compliment...?" she still didn't know if he liked it or not. If it was okay... she knew it was nowhere in the realm of what Lust probably did but she hoped Greed enjoyed it as much as she had. She was kinda terrified to know at the same time in case the answer wasn't positive.
------
"A little of both? But your fingers feel like razors." He pushed himself up on his arms, hands planted into the mattress. "Was that heaven?" He was positive it was. Nothing with Lust ever felt like that.
------
Zoe immediately stopped touching him, "Oh, sorry!" she had no idea that he was feeling that sensitive to her touch. Her elbows bent and her hands were at her sides near her shoulders, the fingers loosely curled in.

She laughed a little, smiling big when he asked that, "Isn't it always like that for you?" she imagined it was amazing every time for him.
-------
"Just..." He didn't want her to stop touching him even if it was riding the line of pain.

"No, not at all. Kinda more scratching, biting and about three rounds in before I feel this tired."
------
She raised her brows and looked at him questioningly, still not touching him, "Just...?" she looked like she was waiting for instructions. Just touch him softly? Touch him in a specific area? Just wait a few minutes?

She smiled lazily, "Mmm.. yes. But what I meant was don't you feel heaven amid all that scratching, biting, and... grunting...?" she didn't know what else to say for his multiple rounds. "You're such a sexual guy.. isn't it always amazing for you?"
------
"Give me a minute," he snuggled up to her, his cheek going back to rest on her chest, where it was warm and felt like a pillow.

"It doesn't feel like that...." It was hard to describe. "Can't put it to words." And he couldn't. It was then that he thought about what she said. "Speaking of grunting, I didn't hear nothing from you there...by the end...I thought you'd scream a little or something?" He quirked s brow, jolting up to look at her quesrionably.
-------
Zoe looked at him and made a face, "Chance.. do you know how weird it is when you do that?" she wriggled purposely downward so his head would be more on her shoulder. It kinda creeped her out when he rested his head on her chest like he was a child with his mother.

Her eyes were wide with a what? Huh? innocent look and she raised her brows and blinked, "Oh.. well... um... I did make noise and I loved every minute of it," she reassured him, "I can get really vocal.. but it sorta only happens when I..... orgasm." she clamped her lips together and looked away as her whole face turned a brighter pink than it already was.
-------
He whined but scooted up so she didn't feel so awkward. It was a habit he had with Lust after sex or just when he felt like it.

"Oh...." His voice trailed off in his thoughts. "So...you didn't?" He waved his finger around, confused. It wasn't like it would be a picture perfect moment, but he didn't expect to hear that. "Seriously?"
------
Zoe scrunched up her nose, squeaking out, "No..?" she turned her head to look at him, "But I still really loved it." she gave him a few quick kisses, "And it's okay, women don't... every time." Greed might be a sex God but he was good at taking care of himself and taking care of Lust, Zoe didn't know if he 'took care' of the women he was with.
------
He looked a little stunned. He wasn't sure how to take it. Lust could drop an orgasm at the blink of an eye and he never really stopped to think about any of the others. He got what he wanted and that was it. "Oh," he looked a little like a kicked puppy.
------
She felt so bad for him, "Greed... it's okay!" she touched his cheek and showered him in kisses, "I just wanted to be with you and that's all I care about, okay? It was still mind blowing." she caressed his cheek, "I loved it. Maybe it'll happen next time?" she said with a slight wince. She kinda didn't want to tell him it would help if he waited for her and looked to the side.
------
"How am I supposed to know?" He got spoiled by Lust. Kisses or not it we kind of a crushing blow. He pouted a little, it giving some comfort to know she wanted him again. But he was curious...."what can I do?'" He wanted to know, because she was obviously hiding it.
------
She kissed him again and looked nervous, "Nothing.. I mean.. you're great just..." she sighed and gave him a look, "It's your least favorite thing to do but... wait." she raised her hand to put on his shoulder and stopped herself, not knowing if he was still feeling like her touch was a knife. She raised her eyes to his to see if he understood what she was getting at.
------
Her touch didn't burn anymore, everything was back to feeling as it should. He tipped his head to the side. "You mean..." He dropped his gaze, his forehead restijg just under her chin, laughing a little as if embarrassed. "I'm not good at that." It was embarrassing. He was being told by a mortal about sex. Didn't he already know everything? Then again he wasn't pumping her full of himself, he never needed to know.
------
She touched his shoulder and when he didn't flinch, she ran her hand up and through his hair, "I know.. so it's okay. I don't mind not..." she twirled her hand in the air and then smiled, pink herself because it was weird to talk about with him.
------
"Mmmm," he didn't look at her, just whined into her. That still felt weird. "I dunno how to wait." He didn't, he never waited for anything, especially when it came to sex.
------
She put her arms around him, nuzzling his ear, "I knoooow. I told you, it's okay. I'm surprised and touched you took your time at all." she wasn't going to push the waiting thing.. she still remembered how he told her it made him not feel like himself and she never wanted him to feel lost or not comfortable with her.
------
He kept his face burried a little longer before looking back into her eyes. "You hid it from me," talking about her orgasm. He was determined now to find it and hear more from her than a few squeaks and moans. He took her hands and linked them into his with a squeeze.

"You did it before," he whispered. "Made me wait..." He wanted her to show him, it freaked him out, but he wasn't going to let it stop him.
------
She looked dumbfounded and then burst out laughing and looked at him as if to say are you serious, "I hid it from you? How exactly did I do that?" she played with his hands as he took hers into his and she couldn't believe how content she was in this moment. Naked with him in bed doing nothing, just being together.

She looked at him warily, her tone soft and concerned, slowly shaking her head, "You didn't like it before..." he had freaked out and it was when he'd left her.
-------
"I don't know, but you did. You hid it." He squinted giving her the stink eye. Propping up on one elbow, he ran his fingers down her face. "It did freak me the fuck out....but I did like it...I just I've never waited for anything Zoe...its kinda not built into me unless...I'm like this." It was ap strange.
-----
She grinned up at him as he teased her more, she'd never smiled more with a guy than she had with Greed. Probably not even a person let alone a lover. "Isn't the fun part looking for it?"

The only way to describe the look in her eyes was... love. She watched him as he touched her face, she still didn't seem convinced, "Really? Because you ran away." she sighed and leaned up for a second to kiss his lips because they were delectable, "You told me that you feel like you can be yourself around me and I don't want you to wait if you feel like you lose yourself if you do that. I rather never orgasm again than make you feel like that..." she really didn't want him to wait if he was just doing it for her. She cherished the fact he never wore a face with her and she didn't want to compromise it.
------
"I can find it. I will find it," he smiled wide as if he were ready to now.

He groaned into her neck when lowered his head again. "I want to hear you..." He whispered in her ear. So regardless he wanted her, that meant everything. Even if it meant tempering himself to get it. Was that love?
-------
She touched his cheek and made him look at her, "You will. Maybe. I mean, maybe it'll be really fast and great and it'll happen on accident." she was only half joking. "It's just... noise. I still--" she pressed her lips together tightly as the words 'i still love you' almost came tumbling out. Her heart had started to hammer at her near slip and she took a moment and then tried again with, "I still want you.. that won't change."
-----
"I want you too," his voice wad soft as if he too was saying the words she held back. He hadn't had his fill, they never were going to get through this once.

"We're not leaving today," he nudged her nose, licking his lips before a kiss. He still just liked laying there showered in kisses.
------
The look she gave him was as if he had the said words themselves. "You want to wait.. for me?" she meant it both ways, that he wanted to do it for her and that he wanted to hold off on his orgasm so she could reach hers. She put an arm around his neck to keep him close by for another kiss and another, "So.. tomorrow?" though she really could spend a week or two or three right here but she knew this was costing a lot.
-------
"Yeah..." His eyes bounced back and forth. She forgot how far he was willing to go for something he wanted, even if it was nothing more than an idea. It seemed a selfless act, but it was just as much of a selfish one because he was determined to 'find' her orgasm for his own ego.

He was tired, as if they'd been doing this for hours. He wasn't used to his body being so easily wiped out.
------
She smiled at him when he said he wanted to. She kissed him for it, she knew what waiting was to him and for him to want to go through it for her, it meant a great deal. Her smile turned amused as she could see how tired he was and she kissed his chin, his neck and then his shoulder, "Oh my God... did I tire out the energizer bunny?" she said in a mock gasp. She grinned as she pulled him closer, snuggling into him, "Do I get some sort of award..?"
------
"Just get me some new batteries and I'll be good to go..." He mumbled against her where he had nestled to sleep. Just a nap. Then they could get back to wrestling with the sheets and finding her hidden gem. For someone who knew all the right buttons, it was now a treasure hunt sitting within Zoe that he had to confiscate. That was going to be gold!
