Chapter 3 – Into the World of Make-Believe

The moment Athrun’s lips touched Cagalli’s soft ones, everything seemed to still. The outside world suddenly didn’t exist. In his realm, it seemed that only her and their kiss that mattered. He acted on impulse but he didn’t care. Kissing a total stranger, a beautiful, fiery woman, gave him quite a thrill. He wasn’t known to be a seducer of innocent but this time, it seemed so right. It seemed fate had played on them this time around, to be together for no known reasons.

Truth to be told, it wasn’t long since he had women to satisfy his lust back in his Sahara base. Rutting with a lusty woman had never been a problem. Every week, he and his comrades were busy on that ‘part’ of their social lives. Yzak Joule– the neurotic and chick repellant of his team, on the other hand, often times reprimanded them for being so perverted and lustful. Athrun laughed. For him, it seemed that his frantic friend needed some rutting of his own. It wasn’t his fault for being blessed with such great attraction to women. They approach him then he only simple obliges. Athrun didn’t care as long as he was very careful and responsible to every act he made. He wasn’t some untried boy who didn’t know what will be the complications and how to have safe sex. It wasn’t his fault that he got the blessed charms, right moves and good looks women lusted for. He was born to be a rake – a rake with a heart.

Even though he was proclaimed rake, he never played his women’s heart. It was them who choose to play fire with him. He never pursued them. They just come and make some ‘conquering’. And out they go, satisfied and dreamy as always.

Before everything else, he always made sure his women knew about his situation – him being engaged to a famous pop star named Lacus Clyne. Offering himself more than what he can only give wasn’t possible. Many women were disappointed, many foolish hearts were broken. But what can they do? The only chance to have him was becoming his lover, until his bachelorhood becomes a thing of a past.

This was all new to him. He never initiated the first move to pleasure a woman to the world of sex. Never did he ever felt so much passion as this, even woo Lacus at this very desperate mode. He had kissed his fiancée countless times whenever they were together – alone or not - yet nothing as fiery as this. His emotions were swirling.

Why? Why had he been so instantly enamored of her? He had only just known her today, not even almost a day in fact. He even didn’t like her brash persona, her tomboyish attitude, yet with her, he was willing to tolerate. Strange. For him, it seemed that makes her unique in his eyes. Brazen, naïve sometimes, funny and beautiful…. Those made him caught his attention. Indeed, this scared him a bit yet he liked the swirling emotions.

God! He loved kissing this beautiful stranger. He even liked her fresh, nature scent. Her odor made him crave for more, almost devouring her with his expert kisses and nipping, but he wasn’t about to rampage her innocence because of that hunger.

This was her first kiss, he deeply assured. He didn’t know why he wanted it to be extra special – him being her very first. That made him smile.

As he was enjoying every taste he savored from her sweet lips, he hadn’t expected Cagalli’s sudden withdraw. She even pushed his chest away from her then grabbed his uniform’s collar, twice shaking him up.

“Why did you do that?” Cagalli shrieked, demanding for an answer. Lightning stroke twice which gave Athrun a moment opportunity to see her face reaction. She was mad, indeed, yet had some traces of enjoyment and blush. “That….that….that was my…..you have no right to - ”

She also bit her lips.

Athrun smiled. He seemed to enjoy her hysteria. “Did I make you warm, Cagalli?” The young man inquired, instantly interrupting her speech.

“What?! Should you be asking that?” Cagalli retorted.

“Why don’t you just answer the question?”

She snorted. Athrun patiently waited for her answer. Few seconds later, Cagalli subsided. “Well….kind of….” she feebly admitted. She was confused. Heck! She also wasn’t supposed to answer that stupid question.

“Well then. That is all that matters, Cagalli.” With his winsome smile, he declared. He touched her flaming cheek with the back of his fingers. “Yes, indeed. I already made you warm.”

Cagalli couldn’t speak straight. She told herself to get angry at him. She berated herself for being a weakling, for allowing him to take his liberties on her. This young man is a stranger no matter what the circumstances yet she was allowing him to treat her this way. She should be shouting or chastising him but she couldn’t. Cagalli was out of words. She was very arrested by his smooth words.

“That…that….that was my…”

“Your first kiss, I’m sure.” Athrun finally supplied.

“What?” The girl was startled. Even in the dark, Athrun knew she was frowning and blushing.

“It wasn’t hard to know, you know. It was like…. I was kissing a child.” He explained. He didn’t mean to boast his expertise but he had to make a comment about her being new to this kissing.

“Ha! Really?” That made her angry and humiliated. A naughty thought entered her mind. “So, you’ve been kissing babies and toddlers, I see.” Then she laughed deviously. “My, oh, my….what a desperate pervert you are.”

“You know what I am saying, Cagalli. Kissing you is like I’m kissing an innocent virgin.” It was Athrun’s turn to chuckle. It wasn’t his nature to tease his women, or even the people around him. But to her, he’s quite enjoying the word sparring. “I bet I am also right to that category, Cagalli.” He leaned closer to whisper, taking away her clutched fists on his collar. “You being a virgin.”

He kissed both of her knuckles. She instinctively removed her hands from his. Cagalli was quite sure the young man loves tormenting her. She didn’t like being teased or laughed at. Who wouldn’t be?

That gave her more blushes to hide. Thank God it was dark. This intimacy talk made her grew warmer….hotter….It was working, indeed. But she didn’t like the fact of her being inexperienced as the topic of their discussion.

Athrun sensed her embarrassment. But that didn’t stop him from saying, “You don’t have to answer. I know.”

“Bastard! Pervert!” All she had said just to get back. She was about to move out from the bed but she was ceased by the man who captured her wild heart. Grabbing her small waist, he pulled her back towards his body then hugged her. His lips were very near her left ear. His breath made it harder to resist him.

He was spooning her – her back at his chest. His chin was just above her blond head.

“Are you mad at me?” Athrun asked. “If you are, I’m sorry for saying it out loud.”

“Apologizing again, eh? Don’t you ever get tired of saying those words? Drats! First you unjustly treated me as a deadly convict, and then you stole my precious first kiss, now you are humiliating me for being a virgin. So what if I am a virgin?! It is my choice, my precious gift to my…” She angrily spat.

“I know, I know….I’m a fool. I should have considered your feelings first. I am not used to this, you know. When it comes to you…” Athrun was about to say that when it comes to her, he tries very hard to control his lust, his over whelming feelings on having her this very minute. But he didn’t.

“What?”

He sighed. “Nothing.” Athrun didn’t gamble to share his new profound feelings.

Then there was silence. The storm continued to rage outside. Athrun embraced Cagalli to her waist and entwined his legs to hers. He leaned his forehead against her nape. As he held her tight, her shirt was pushed higher. They didn’t seem to notice the effect of their constant moving and shifting. Athrun heard her groan as he gradually brushed his left leg to hers. He began to think that she loved being cuddled like this. He too liked this very much. But he mustn’t think anything about this further. He didn’t want her to get scared when his “nether friend” gave its full attention.

Cagalli couldn’t seem to sleep. She should be! Having this intimacy with a total stranger is really outrageous yet exciting. She suddenly thought of the kiss they shared a while ago. The very first kiss she had received from a young man. She musingly touched her lips with the tips of her fingers. The sense of tingling was still there. She finally realized and admitted that she really like what he done to her a while ago. His sudden kiss made her feel warm…hot to be exact.

So this is the feeling of having been kissed, Cagalli mused. Sleepless and dreamy. Asking for another kiss is out of the question. But she wanted it, even for one last time. But she wasn’t a fool to try begging him.

The more she hid it, the more it wanted to get out. But how could she make him kiss her again? Ah! Why not try seducing him instead?!

A virgin on the move to seduce her prey. Why not, Cagalli asked. Two could play a game.

“It was….wonderful.” she weakly mumbled then groaned.

“What?” Athrun huskily asked. “You’re saying?”

“Your kiss….It’s wonderful.” Then she moved her hips towards him.

Athrun gradually smiled. He instinctively reciprocated her erotic move by hugging her even more. She could feel his gratitude….even his…. “I’m glad to hear that.”

There had been a couple of minutes before she spoke again.

“It seems like you are an expert to this.” The fingers of her left hand started to brush the surface of his arms and hands. Athrun felt it instantly, jolting his senses. “How many women have you been kissing?”

“I don’t have to answer that.” Then he cleared his throat.

She chuckled. “What’s with the sudden shyness? Since you said that I kissed so lamely, well that means you are an expert to this.” She turned to her back. She was now facing him. Her lips were almost touching his throat.

Her breath was making him crazy. As she spoke near to his throat, it gave the good shrill, his body hair to that area almost stood up. He tried to control himself.

“It’s….wonderful. I like it. I was startled. You didn’t give me the chance to know about your intention.” Cagalli whispered. “Will you….”

Athrun instantly kissed her. It was long and seductive. His other hand started to touch and caress her cheek. Cagalli was surprised but not that much as before.

The young captain knew about her ploy. He wasn’t dumb not to see the signs, her invitation. He had gone to numerous liaisons. This one was so simple to detect.

She was after for another kiss…perhaps more than that. If that’s the case, Athrun was willing to give more. He will open the vixen to the world of lust. That would be fun.

After the intense kiss, he pulled his lips. “I might….”

“What?” she breathlessly asked.

“If you want, I could teach you more about kissing.” And others sweet knotting….

Cagalli hesitated to answer. Suddenly, she was afraid to take his offer. Her seduction had backfired at her. This was all new to her. She was supposed to ask for a kiss but deep inside she wanted more of it. This young captain had awakened something inside of her – her sensuality about…..But she was afraid, indeed.

“But it might lead to another phase, you know,” She blushed again. She hid her face under his chin “I don’t want to loose my…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let that happen. As long as I wear my uniform,” Then he kissed her nose.

There had been a few moments before she almost agreed. She chuckled. “Sure thing. Why do I have this notion that I have to doubt what you are promising?”

His laugh was deep and throaty. She liked hearing it. “You’re forgetting that I am the expert on this. I am the teacher and you are my slave.”

“Slave?” That had alarmed Cagalli raising one of her eyebrows.

He grinned. “I’m joking. What I meant was that I am your teacher and you are my student.” Then he looked at her even though he couldn’t see her due to darkness. “Time for you to learn about your ‘other’ craves…your sensuality. It will be an honor on teaching you that.”

“Have you been telling that to all of your women, Athrun?” She innocently inquired.

Athrun didn’t answer. No, Cagalli. Only to you.

“It worked, you know.” She simply replied.

God! She was making it hard for him to stay under control. He was wishing for her to stop coaxing him innocently or he might not guarantee her safety from performing his carnal desires to satisfy a woman’s lust. In her case, her curiosity.

Athrun shifted himself above her. It was time to get the game started. One of his legs was between her, pinning her not to move much. Then both of his elbows supported him. He bent his head and whispered near to her luscious lips, “To make this more enjoyable, I would like you to imagine everything I am about to say. We will make love…”

“What? I thought you will not take my…”

“Trust me. I won’t take anything from you but your complete cooperation and desires.” He seriously assured.

Athrun kissed her again. “And all I am asking is for you not to speak while I talk. You will only listen. I won’t stop you to react by moving for I am expecting your body to do so.” He caressed her warm cheek. “I will make love to you….using only my words and….”


*******

“Cagalli, imagine that we are lovers living alone in a secluded island.” He moved his lips closer to her ear, whispering those words.

“Both of us will pretend as those lovers….”

She did what he wanted her to do. It wasn’t so hard to imagine since their current setting was kind of similar to his. The only thing that was different was that they were not lovers to begin with. They were only trying to have some fun, a new way to warm-up themselves and waste their precious time.

“This will be our last night together. Tomorrow, I will have to leave and the possibility of not seeing each other again is enormous. Only to this night we will be able to express our love to each other. We said to ourselves that saying good-bye outright will only hurt our down feelings. By making love, we could only mend our broken hearts.” He took her left hand and held it above their heads.

Athrun moved his other hand, caressing her slim abdomen up to her rounding twins. He lowered his head to her left ear and whispered, “You will give everything to your lover, which is me for that matter. You will not hesitate this time because you are thinking that the greatest memory you could only give to me is finally freeing yourself from the boundaries of proper social norm. You will deny the odds by having sex without the blessing of marriage. Yes, it is improper and immoral. But loving me is all that matters to you right now, so as I am to you. Even though I am just your lover, I had wished that if I could only turn back the time, I would have had married you. But circumstances and fate had been cruel to us. And thinking about tomorrow had strengthened our claim how cruel it might be.”

He kissed her again as his hand began bolder. Twitching her nipple made her groaned. One of her knee bended instinctively.

“Imagine I am taking your clothes off. You are panting due to excitement. Smelling your anticipation had intensified my lust for you. I want to devour you this instant yet I want it so special between us, particularly because this is your first time to receive the gift of carnal pleasures.” Going below, he nipped her nipple. Her shirt didn’t matter to him as long as he preformed his task on arousing her breast and her.

Cagalli squirmed from the intensity of Athrun’s tongue and lips playing with her nipple. She was breathing hoarsely. She was shaking her head from sideways to sideways.

It was getting hotter and hotter. As Athrun whispered those indecent and erotic words, the acting became more real. He was loving her with his expert hands and tongue, teaching her to wail like a woman in heat. She began to feel the sticky liquid straining inside her underwear. Is this normal, she asked. She wanted to be free of it, free from these clothes but….

“I love seeing you squirm below me. I will die a happy man remembering my love enjoying every bit of my gift. It is only I can give you this pleasure. You are mine; no other man can replace me to your heart even if we go to our separate ways. I won’t allow it. Even in death….”

Was this for real? Athrun was saying those words, for God sake! It seemed so real, Cagalli mused. As if he was really doing this, speaking with his heart to her….If only…

It was getting hotter and hotter…..she could no longer feel the chill of the storm breeze and night. Athrun had taken it all away by seducing her to release her very own lust. As if the character in their make-believe no longer existed. She was now imagining her and Athrun having sex in the middle of the one stormy night to some unknown regions of Indian Ocean.

She couldn’t help it. This was more real and enjoyable than pretending for those lovers he was saying.

“You own me and by that I couldn’t disagree. No other woman will possess my heart for you alone had me chained to yours. Since the first time I saw you, I knew that instant that you are made for me. Every part of my body and soul is yours. You don’t have to hesitate on loving me this night because I too will never.”

Moments later, he unzipped her pants. Athrun took his liberty on snaking one of his hands inside her pants, into her panty. He was right. She was already milking due to the intense pressure of his seduction. He loved to taste it yet there was one thing he had to do first – introduce her and get acquainted with his naughty fingers.

“Open up for me….my sweet, fiery angel. Release your womanhood for me to caress. ” Athrun pleaded as he raised her shirt at the same time. He sucked one of her breasts, loving it with full adore. “Oh….I love tasting your breast.”

He was rubbing her down there, to her feminine nub. She was beginning to be frantic and overwhelmed to the mixed feelings Athrun was giving her.

“Your natural nectar flows and I can feel it. You will be trembling and I will be satisfied. Arch up, my sweet….In a matter of seconds, you will feel the hot liquid poured out from you.”

He didn’t need to say those words. She was trembling so much. She called out his name but was subdued by kissing her again with full worship.

“I worship thy lips….those beautiful, pink lips….” Then he opened her lips by letting his tongue entered hers. He was about to initiate the act of sex by doing it with their lips. Cagalli couldn’t speak. She was enjoying every minute of his exploits. Goodness! He is an expert on making a woman cried out loud for sex. She didn’t know until she herself tasted his proficiency to the art.

Then the moment of elation came, breaking Cagalli’s body control. She was trembling beyond manage. Athrun continued to play havoc on her nether part by using his fingers. She arched up and groaned aloud.

“Yes, yes….you have finally reached the top of the ecstasy.”

“Oh God, Athrun! What are you doing to me?!”

“Sssshhhh…..” He hushed her and said, “No talking, my sweet….” He kissed her again as he continued to invade her private part with circular motion. “Love the feeling…..release more…..and I will conquer.”

What was he saying, Cagalli asked. She couldn’t hear him anymore due to the intense pleasure she was receiving.

He removed his hand from her drench underwear and gradually pasted her natural nectar to his own lips. He even tasted it. “So young….so innocent….”

It was damn erotic to see him like that. Then he bent towards her, letting her taste her own juices from his lips and tongue.

“Have a taste of your own desire, my sweet,” Athrun breathlessly coaxed. “Tomorrow awaits for the lovers doom. We only have this night to cherish, to have and to hold.”

“Oh…..my….”

“Release your true desire for me…..Cagalli….”

Their world seemed to have stopped as soon as the pretending subsided.
