Sculpted In Gold

Chapter 3

Shani awoke to something warm and soft curling gently around her thigh. She giggled, reaching down to pet his tail, the sleek fur was soft and warm beneath her fingertips, and he started to purr a little louder. She glanced up, and smiled, he was still asleep.

His tail unwound itself from her thigh as she continued to pet it, and she let it coil around her wrist. She yawned and lay there quietly, amazed that she could feel so blissfully content, just to play with the tail of the man who had taken her virginity, enjoying the warmth of his body…afraid to wonder what would happen to her now. She glanced at the door across the room, praying that it would remain closed and then shuddered, scooting closer to her lover.

Prince Vegeta. That name alone was synonymous with brutal conquest and a battle-hardened warrior, too young to be so skilled and determined. Even on her world, she had heard the prophecies; that the legendary warrior of the Saiyans would one day bring down the tyrant Frieza. The Super Saiyan, they called him, others whispered the foretold one, the Legendary, the promised one… Oracles and Seers from all over known space had been locked onto his every move for 15 years. Was it fair to pin all the hopes and dreams for the universe and its freedom on the shoulders of an 18-year-old boy?

He had been three years old when the universe had officially learned of the birth of the Saiyan Prince. Unveiled with a power level of over a thousand, the small boy had become an overnight sensation. Like the prince beside her, she had been too young to remember that clearly, but she did remember the horrified whispers that followed news that Frieza had taken the young prince into his ranks. He had been five years old, with a power level of more than 5,000.

Known for his quick temper and deadly skill, the Saiyan Prince had been watched with awe and fear as he grew up, always in the forefront of Frieza's planet trade and the terrible missions that stemmed from it. People spoke of him like he was some mythical titan, respected but feared, in spite of his rigid sense of honor and purpose; he still had to carry out Frieza's orders... All of them could only wonder, would the warrior who would defeat Frieza be only another tyrant? That was what most of those who had met him could only wonder in fear. Ambitious and determined, the Saiyan Prince was not known for mercy or gallantry… but last night, he had shown her both.

She smiled, still running her fingers through the sleek fur of his long tail. She rolled onto her side, facing him. He was so young, and when he was asleep he really looked like it. He was so handsome, the aristocratic features and the way he carried himself said clearly that he was royalty. He was physically quite small, but power still seemed to roll off of him with the same primal confidence as his feral grace and sensuality.

She didn't want to wake him, in his arms she felt safe and warm. The sheets and their bodies were still a little sticky though, so she giggled and summoned her magic for the grooming spell, extending the power to clean the sheets and the bed as well. His scent was masculine but pleasant, like an autumn wind, she noticed, laying her head on his shoulder. She was just laying there, still playing with his tail, breathing in his scent, as she tried to go back to sleep, when she realized she was starting to get restless. The butterflies were back in her stomach again; she frowned feeling puzzled, why would she want him again? He wasn't doing anything but sleeping.

Curiously, she sat up and looked around. The clock on the wall said it was still the middle of the night, since she and Vegeta had actually been thrown into this room at 1350 in the afternoon. She blinked in surprise. With all of their exertion, it had only seemed like morning earlier. She should be tired, but instead she found herself wanting to kiss him. Would he get mad? She wondered.

Well, he had certainly left no part of her body unexplored. It was fair… wasn't it? Besides, his skin was so soft and smooth and warm beneath her fingertips that she couldn't resist touching him. She sat up, letting one hand brush his shoulder and down his arm. She barely touched him, following the lines and heavy grooves of muscle in his arm before, gliding over the contours of his shoulder. He started to purr again, as she moved to inspect his chest. There were so many scars there, she gasped, wondering what exactly had happened to him that would've left so many painful wounds on someone this young.

Curiously, she leaned down, over what looked like the worst of his scars, and soothed it gently with her lips. His tail flickered restlessly but he continued to purr, so she let her lips graze his collection of scars until she realized she had wandered low enough to find one of his nipples. She licked it curiously, then sucked it into her mouth and kissed it gently, remembering all the ways he had touched hers. He shuddered, moaning softly and she smiled when he looked up at her.

" What are you doing? " He grunted rather sleepily.

" I'm sorry -I couldn't sleep. I mean, I tried, but- I couldn't. And I got curious, and now you're awake… " She stopped fumbling for the words when he rolled his eyes and smirked at her. He picked her up effortlessly, and arranged her so the she was straddling his hips.

She dropped her gaze, biting her lip as she realized how intimate this position was. His dusky skin was so smooth beneath her touch, and she looked up to find him watching her with those bottomless black eyes. She smiled demurely, leaning over to kiss his lips, wondering if he would allow it.

Soft and sweet, the gentle kiss lingered, becoming deep and romantic, but not demanding. She sighed softly, as the kiss broke and she tried to catch her breath. She heard him give a low growl when she grazed his elegant jaw line with kisses. She giggled, nuzzling her way to his throat. Slowly and sweetly she draped kisses along his neck and collarbone, enjoying the way he purred and tipped his head back for her.

He growled as she started to move lower. She licked and nibbled and kissed all of his shoulders, from on top of him she could reach everything. She didn't even realize she was getting turned on until one of his hands found her breasts, and the other moved to the apex of her thighs, where he slipped two fingers into her velvet depths.

" No…" She moaned. " It's my turn. How am I supposed to figure out how to do this if I can't concentrate on you? "

He growled, but put his hands on the bed, watching her with curiosity and lust in his dark gaze. She leaned down, blowing softly across his nipple, capturing it lightly with her teeth. He was purring again, she giggled, rolling her tongue over the taut little kernel of flesh before nipping it gently. He growled twisting beneath her; she could see it in his eyes that he liked that, so she did it again, sucking it afterwards. She scooted down a little, and repeated the process, before moving to play with the other one. " Mmmm I love the way you purr... " She whispered, listening to the hypnotic very sensual noise he was making.

She started to work her way lower, and giggled as she kissed her way down the beautifully sculpted cage of his abs. The soft skin of her belly brushed against his member, but she didn't let it distract her. She was actually most curious about that part of him, but she was also keenly aware that if she neglected the rest of him she might not get another chance to explore him like this; time was not on her side, but she refused to be distracted from her fun. He shuddered, as she moved lower, still watching her every move with those impossibly dark eyes. She blushed, looking away, but didn't stop, letting her lips drift lightly along the ridge of his ribs.

When she finally reached his hip, he growled, and his tail slid slowly up her thigh, but before it could reach her sex, she caught it, petting it gently. " No. " She growled, but her silver eyes were shining with mischief, as she kissed the tip of his tail before she let it go. " It's still my turn. "

As she moved lower, she was careful not to let her body brush against his sex, but forgot about her long hair. He groaned, arching his back, as her lips nibbled gently at his lean hips, her mane drifting over him more intimately. Holding still was apparently taking its toll on him, she realized, a slight sheen glistened across his chest and the tight muscles of his abs. She moaned softly, licking some of the sweat off of him.

His arousal stood out proudly before her, it was very smooth, and hard, throbbing, aching for her touch. She came closer slowly, obviously uncertain as to what to do with her quarry now. She was as careful with him here as she had been with his tail, while he had been asleep, her fingers gliding over him like the touch of a feather. He continued to purr, his tail only flickering occasionally, as if he were a contented cat. She leaned forward, closed her eyes and let her lips enjoy her explorations. She moaned softly, rolling her tongue along its magnificent length. Remembering the way he had touched her, she moaned softly, letting herself explore the part of him that had given her so much pleasure earlier. He groaned, running his fingers through her hair. He gave a low growl as she slipped the head of him in her mouth. She let him pull her closer, and when she started to suck him, she was rewarded by another growl. Curiously she started bobbing her head, and felt his member getting even harder. She moaned, sucking harder, wanting to give him the same pleasure he had given her, but before she could protest, she found herself on her hands and knees and he was gone.

She blinked in surprise, as she realized he was behind her. He parted her thighs roughly, and let the head of his shaft graze her sex. He growled, stroking her with his arousal. She had no idea that she had gotten so wet while she had been exploring. She liked feeling him against her, but wanted more. "Do it, please… "

He impaled her hard, but she only gasped, arching her back. She backed herself into his hard thrusts. She moaned, letting him take her, it felt so good. Meeting his thrusts was too hard after he put his strong hands on her hips, but she found that she could clench her inner muscles, creating more friction. He seemed to approve, as he took a moment to purr, and then he gave her even harder thrusts. He wasn't being gentle this time, but the pleasure was even more intense, and she could feel a climax building within her. He seemed to sense it too, for he started to move faster, opening her even more, unable to control those muscles anymore, she cried out.

Vegeta held back his own release, refusing to stop, letting the minx ride the wave of her intense orgasm. She was so beautiful, and so trusting… he could do anything he wanted to her and she wouldn't hesitate to allow it. Would she still be able to trust him or anyone else this way after that door was opened and he had to go back to work? If Kiwi or Dodoria were not there, he could at least get her safely out of the room as he had told her… It was hard to tell himself not to wonder if he would even see her alive again. He growled at himself for being sentimental. He reminded himself coldly that he had had beautiful women before; she was just like any of the others. Never mind that she was unusually exotic and graceful, sensual, beautiful, bold and … he shook his head disdainfully, she was still just a woman, and he was too busy trying to attain his destiny to get anymore tangled up in this mess.

The princess in question drew him back to reality when she finally collapsed to the bed with one final shudder, and he smirked rolling her over. She looked tired, but her eyes still held mischief in them. " You are amazing. " She giggled, looking away. " Every time we do this it makes me want you more. "

He laughed. " You liked that, did you? " The Saiyan Prince captured one of her nipples, biting it gently. " So did I. You learned very quickly, but I'm not done with you, princess. "

To his surprise, she giggled; looking unintimidated and returned his kiss passionately. She wrapped her arms and legs around him, as they kissed. When the kiss finally broke, she tipped back her head, revealing a vicious bite mark on her beautiful neck. He was drawn to it instinctively, suddenly craving the taste of her blood, and yet he couldn't remember biting her. How could he have staked a claim on this… little weakling who wasn't a Saiyan or even a warrior?? Never mind that she possessed unearthly beauty, and bold, magnificent spirit, this was too dangerous, SHE was dangerous… he couldn't afford to get involved with anything but destroying Frieza. Yet at this moment all he could think about was making to the delectable little princess scream his name again, feel her body writhe in ecstasy in his arms…

She cried out, struggling desperately, when he bit her, but after the skin was broken, he started to purr, as he licked her wound. As always the way he purred seemed to soothe her pain and replenish her desire. Shani moaned softly, again tipping her head back as pain became scintillating pleasure that clouded her thoughts and drugged her body into submission.

The princess felt him enter her while he was kissing her neck and moaned, raising her hips to meet him. He growled, again holding her down, again his thrusts were rough, but he kissed her lips again, the passion left her breathless and she could only hope that he didn't stop. He was gentle with his hands as they took hers, but his member buried itself in her deeper with every thrust, making her close her eyes. She felt hands on her breasts and moaned. She began to writhe, moaning softly, enjoying the light touch against her nipples.

She heard him purring and looked down. She was touching herself! His hands had already returned to her hips. The realization left her startled, but she didn't stop, nor did she look away from his gaze this time. She brought the delicate mound of flesh to her lips and licked it. With another soft moan, she closed her eyes and kissed her nipple lightly before he started to growl taking her harder.

She smiled, clenching the muscles deep within her body, still caressing her breasts, knowing that was what she had done that was really turning him on. The princess was starting to feel her own climax building though and arched her back, trying to hold back, but almost as if he had sensed it, he doubled the pace of his thrusts, bringing a sharp cry from her, and a feral growl from him.

He rolled off of her with a groan and she scooted over to lay her head on his shoulder as she fell into exhausted sleep. Vegeta glanced at the clock on the wall and growled. They only had two and a half hours until he had to be at the launch bay for his departure to go to his next mission, but for now, he knew he should let her sleep. She was limp and seemed especially fragile in his arms, but she smiled contentedly as he touched the wound he had left upon her neck. Not knowing when they would be summoned into Frieza's presence, he stayed awake, holding her protectively and tried not to admit, even to himself that he was afraid he already knew the significance of the mark he had given her…

Author notes: YES!!!!!!!!!!! Shannelle is Shani from Shadows of the Past!!!!!!!!! (And yes her name is pronounced exactly like the perfume, but I prefer this spelling because even though I gag on that perfume I still think the word sounds beautiful.) In Elven her name means bringer of light… Shani, her nickname means dawn (first light)… Just in case you're curious.

PLEASE NOTE this is an AU!!!!!!! Shani has never met Vegeta in this story. This is a totally different dimension than what we have had in Shadows. But once again their feelings for each other will draw them together. I do believe in Destiny… even if Veggie doesn't. I think we all have someone special waiting for us somewhere out there… It's just a matter of knowing it when you find them.

Originally Sculpted in Gold (the story with Frieza and Shani's mom) was meant to be a prelude to this story but FF.Net ate it… it is gone completely. So this story now bears that name. (You don't need to have read the other story to understand this one though!)

Now… Even if you always hate AU romances with original characters you will want to read at least the last chapter of this Epic story!!!!!!!! You will find that it WILL take a twist that will make ALL of us V/B nuts (including me) squeal with rapturous happiness!! How will I pull that off??? Well, you'll just have to keep reading this and find out!!!

*Giggle* PLEASE, please review!!
