Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Sunset Over the Horizon ❯ Sunset 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Sunset 9

Zechs handed his wife a cup of coffee as he sat down next to her on the couch. After returning home they had changed into more comfortable attire, eaten and then sat down to relax after the longer than usual day at work. The whole day had been one that Lucrezia would rather forget. It was bad enough that she'd felt awful that her best friend had been kidnapped, but the fact that it had also been partly her fault made things seem a whole lot worse.

She took the offered coffee and smiled. "Thank you," she said gratefully.

He gave her a gentle smile and wrapped his free arm around her shoulders as he made himself comfortable beside her. "You're welcome, Lucrezia," he replied as she snuggled into him carefully, not wanting to spill the hot beverage over them.

As they huddled together drinking their coffee, Lucrezia pressed her husband for more discussion. "Zechs… continuing our previous conversation..."

Zechs sighed, "I don't think it would be safe enough as yet, it's only been a few months and your body might not be ready to handle it, besides, you heard what Sally said."

It was Lucrezia who sighed this time, but she refused to give in. "We've been over what Sally said so many times that I'm sick of hearing it, Zechs. "

Zechs breathed in deeply as he contemplated his wife's earnest request. "I almost lost you as well the last time, doesn't that matter at all?"

"Of course it does, but I'm a woman, Zechs. I have needs and wants…"

"And I don't?"

"That's not what I meant and you know it!" She placed her coffee onto the floor and stood from her position on the couch. Turning to face him she looked him directly in the eyes. "We haven't even made love since this happened. How do you think that makes me feel, Zechs? I need to know that you still love me; I need to feel the warmth of your body against mine. I need to know that you still want me, the way you used to…"

Zechs sat, stunned, his wife's words almost breaking his heart. Placing his cup on the nearby coffee table, he too stood and moved over to her, wrapping his arms around her. "I had no idea it was affecting you this way. I never meant to neglect you; only protect you."

Noin rested her head on his chest. For everything she'd been through during the wars, she had found nothing harder than losing the child she had carried for so long. "I understand how you feel, Zechs, believe me I do. Every day I wonder why it happened and everyday I never find the answers I search for. Please, Zechs…" she almost begged him. "Please, I need to feel like I'm human again…"

A soft deep sigh escaped past Zechs' lips before he reached for hers with them, gently taking her mouth in a soft, sensual and lingering kiss. Long lost emotions welled within him and he realized that it had been all too long ago since they had enjoyed each other physically. He had been afraid of losing her, afraid of touching her. He hadn't meant to challenge her humanity, to deny her her womanhood. What he thought was protecting her, was instead hurting her and it was time; time to take back the humanity he had denied them both.

"You do realize what you're asking of me my love, don't you?"

Lucrezia nodded in return.

A soft look befell his face and he smiled at her, brushing her hair away from her face a little. "Then so be it." He touched his lips to hers and she pushed herself up into the kiss.

Zechs' male instincts kicked in. Of course she needed him this way, wanted him this way, and in all honesty he had craved her touch just as much. Not relinquishing the sweet softness of her lips, his hands roamed over the softness of her body and she softly moaned as his mouth closed over the lobe of her ear before whispering sweet kisses down over her throat and suckling the tender skin.

Willingly she lifted her arms as he pulled the sweater and T-shirt from her neglected body, his lips barely leaving her soft, sensuous flesh. She sighed happily as his hand found its way under her bra, pushing it up over her breasts and releasing them from the confines of the restricting fabric.

Lowering his head, Zechs gently cupped a breast in his hand; his mouth finding its way to the small, salmon pink nub and the woman gasped as she felt the soft wetness that was Zechs' tongue gently wash over it. Her eyes closed tightly and she moaned as his lips gently surrounded the small pert nipple, his tongue moving slowly in circular motions over its tip. Behind her back, his free hand worked hard to undo the clasps that still held the offending garment on her torso. In less than a minute the lacy garment fell to the floor.

Gently he kneaded the soft pink mounds of flesh, his mouth and tongue continuing to caress them eagerly. He'd forgotten too how good she smelt. Her cologne permeated through his nostrils and his hormones reminded him of just how much of a man he was as his cock twitched in knowing anticipation. One hand cupped her breasts; each in turn, as he plundered them with his tongue; the other worked its way slowly down her slender frame, reaching the waistband of her sweat pants and slipping past.

Lucrezia pulled his head up from the conquest of her breasts and kissed him with a burning desire that she could no longer control. Their tongues clashed for dominance as Zechs' fingers found their way in-between the soft folds of flesh below and delved inside her heat. Lucrezia moaned, her guard dropping as she felt the intrusion, her legs parting slightly to allow a little more penetration. Zechs' tongue claimed victory and he pulled her closer, his erection, pressing against her thigh, his fingers massaging her moistness and his need to take her rising.

Her hands found their way to his T-shirt, pulling it over his head and discarding the garment to the floor. She groaned as her husband's fingers left their position from within her depths. It was then that he began to slowly remove the sweat pants she wore, sliding them down over her hips and buttocks to the floor below.

Zechs stood back a little, admiring her as she stood there completely naked. "God, I'd almost forgotten how beautiful you are," he informed her regretfully before reaching for her hand and leading her to their room.

He stood by their bed as his wife slowly removed his sweat pants, dragging them to his feet. It seemed that he too was lacking in the underwear department and Lucrezia smirked as his cock sprang up at her from out of the sweat pants. Gently she pushed him onto the bed and crawled up beside him. Both were completely naked now and both could barely contain the pent up passion inside.

Zechs began once more to lave her breasts as she grasped his cock in her hand and gently began to stroke. His torment of her soft breasts ceasing, he closed his eyes and rested his head back on the pillow as Lucrezia began to kiss her way down his torso. He moaned as she tormented his tiny nipples, tweaking them between her fingers and rolling them around. Her mouth edging further down towards the south and he groaned wantonly as she neared his groin.

Locating the tight sac, she rolled it gently in one hand and continued with her previous task of stroking his hardened cock with the other. It was now fully erect and the head weeping with precum.

Zechs opened his eyes for a moment only to moan loudly and shut them again as the head of his cock was lapped like an ice cream. Teasingly the young woman dipped her tongue into the small slit at the tip causing her husband to gasp loudly; then slowly she took the head into her mouth sucking only on the tip and running her tongue around the rim.

A loud groan emitted from Zechs' throat and his hips thrust upwards in silent request for her to take him all into her mouth. His hands reached down and grasped her head as she began to fulfill his desire. He realized that he had forgotten what ecstasy was when he felt her soft lips close over his throbbing erection and each time she slid her mouth up over his head she would suck as hard as she could, causing Zechs to pant and groan loudly.

He felt the pressure start to rise in his loins. It was not yet strong enough to make him crave release but it was enough to let him know that he was heading in that direction. He moaned gutturally as his wife's tongue slid along his stiff length, her head bobbing up and down with the constant suckling.

As his need for release strengthened he tugged at her hair gently. Releasing his thick shaft from her mouth she looked at him quizzically. His arms reached out for her to come to him and she smiled as she moved to meet the embrace.

He softly pressed his lips to hers and she gasped as his fingers found their way back to her heated cavern, gently rubbing her clit. She moaned into the kiss as he softly caressed the small protrudence, occasionally dipping a finger into the depths and then out again. He noticed how wet she was down there and a slight pang of guilt hit him as he thought of the many loving moments he had denied her since the tragedy had occurred.

He pulled himself up upright, kneeling on the bed. Willingly Lucrezia let him take the lead as he positioned himself behind her and gently pushed her forward so that he was facing her buttocks. His cock was throbbing, aching with the need and desire that he had not allowed either of them to enjoy for so long and it took all his self-control to contain himself and refrain from ramming his cock up into her. Moving up closer he gently spread her knees a little more. "Ready my love?" he asked her sincerely.

"Take me Zechs, love me the way you used to."

He needed no further encouragement as he pressed up against her, his cock twitched in anticipation as he stroked it a few times before positioning it beneath her. The warmth radiated from her sweetness as he pressed up against her opening and she groaned pleasurably as he gave a quick thrust of his cock, sliding it into the tight wetness before him. A grunt passed his lips as he entered, the pleasure coursing through him.

He placed a hand on her back for balance as he began to find his rhythm. His hips pushing forward in a slight upward motion as his cock danced slowly and lovingly in and out of the heated sanctuary. Zechs' free hand reached around and held his wife's body closer to his, pulling her back ever so slightly as he pushed himself deeper, his balls slapping softly against the perfectly proportioned buttocks of his wife.

Pressing back as her husband pushed forward, Lucrezia softly mewled. It felt so wonderful to have his thick, hot shaft buried inside of her again. She had missed the closeness that lovemaking allowed one to share with a partner. She'd missed his soft caress and his loving touch and she had missed the impassioned orgasm that only he could give her.

Slowly she pushed back as Zechs thrust forward, but she needed, no, she wanted more. Pulling away from him she broke his hold and he pulled out a little surprised as she suddenly took control. Flipping him onto his back, she grinned at him before straddling his hips and lowering herself slowly and teasingly down onto his swollen erection.

"Ohhh shit!" Zechs moaned loudly as he felt her inner walls clamp tightly around his cock, the deeper penetration this new position had given him made his mind whirl with emotion. He grasped her hips with his hands and rocked in rhythmic synchronization with her movements as she began to ride him, grinding her hips gently against his. Her breasts swayed with the smooth forward rocking of her body and he gently thrust upwards fascinated by the bouncing motion of the soft pink melons as he did so.

"Oh god, Zechs," she purred at him as he reached forward with one hand and searched for her clit, finding it within seconds. His other hand reached up and softly stroked her breasts, gently rubbing the nipples, each in turn, with his thumb. He watched her face as she closed her eyes, the expression turning him on even more and she softly panted, her breath hitching as he tweaked and tormented her nipples and clit with his fingers.

She leant down into his soft caress, her lips touching his briefly before she placed her hands either side of his chest and began to increase her rhythm pushing down harder onto his cock and rocking forward faster. Zechs' lips pressed firmly against hers again and their passion soared as she rode him. Their breathing now synchronized as they continued their ascent towards the summit.

Lucrezia gasped, gripping the sheets tightly on either side of Zechs as her orgasm gripped her. She pushed hard down onto her husband and he bucked his hips in a final upwards thrust as he too hit the point of no return. His arms automatically wrapped around her, their breathlessness emanating the rapture of euphoria as they slowly began to descend back down towards reality.

They lay together, still joined for a few moments as their breathing calmed and sense of self returned. Zechs gently ran his hands down over his wife's back and buttocks, he had missed making love to her more than he realized. "Lucrezia," he began earnestly.

"Mm? " She asked softly as she rolled off him to the side, her head resting on his chest.

"I promise… I will never ever neglect you like that again."

Looking up, she smiled at him, her lips reaching out to his in a tender and loving kiss. "You never have; and I never once thought that. I know that you were only looking out for me, but whatever is going to happen will happen."

"Then promise me this one thing, my love…. Promise me that we will always work things through together."

Snuggling her head under his chin she smiled as her eyes closed sleepily. "I promise my love. Always."

The anger and frustration in Wu Fei's eyes remained, but his manner was calm and in control. His hand hurt like hell, but it was nothing like what these other dishonorable animals would feel after he got through with them. That's if he ever found out who they were. He already had their punishment worked out in his mind. It would be painfully slow, torturous and…

"Oiy, Fei… wake up would ya…" Duo prodded the Chinese man with his pen end.

Wu Fei gave the young man a glare that almost rivaled that of Heero Yuy. "I gather you require my attention, Maxwell?"

"Yeah, that's very observational of ya Wuff… " Sally threw him a pleading look and Duo got the hint. Yeah…. I did actually, Wu Fei. While we were at lunch, Une rang to see how things were going. She wants you to take this next week off work and spend time with Sally."

Wu Fei raised an eyebrow as if to question Duo's sincerity. Since the idiot was always joking around, he found it hard to trust the legitimacy of his words on occasion.

"He's being serious, Chang," Heero confirmed as he gave his lover a reassuring sideways glance.

"My apologies, Maxwell. I did not mean to be rude."

"It's ok, Wu Fei. If I were you I'd probably want a second opinion too," Duo grinned, giving the Chinese man a cheeky wink.

Wu Fei suitably blushed.

"So," Duo continued. "Sally, is there anything else that you can think of that could help us find the people who took you hostage?"

Sally sighed, biting down on her bottom lip. Suddenly a horrified look fell upon her face. "I have to talk to Noin," she informed them urgently.

"Noin?" the three men echoed.

"Do you remember how she lost the baby a few months back?"

The room fell silent.

"I heard a conversation as I was coming around after I was kidnapped. A man's voice." Her voice was shaking a little. "He was saying something about causing the loss of something precious, taking a life for a life. Then he mentioned Noin."

"WHAT!!" Duo spat. "Who were they, how do they know h..."

Heero placed a hand on his husband's shoulder and squeezed. "Let her finish," he said softly. "Go on, Sally."

"I heard him say something about Noin losing her baby." She placed a hand to her head, trying to remember everything she could to give the men a decent lead. "He was laughing, saying something about his men infiltrating the base as cleaning staff and adding something to her coffee in her office."

Duo looked horrified, "More security breeches. Shit! What the fuck is going on at Preventer. Noin's security is usually top notch."

Wu Fei sat back down beside his wife. "This is what happens when you let an onna take care of these matters."

Sally gave her husband a disappointed look. "That's not fair, Wu Fei. Noin does her best with what she has to work with."

"That makes for no excuse!"

"Wu Fei…" Sally protested.

"Look," Heero began solemnly. "All that aside, do you know what it was they used to taint the Lieutenant's beverage?"

"No, I'm afraid I don't. He never said what it was, but whatever they used wasn't detected when I did the tests."

"Which means?" Duo queried, cocking his head slightly.

Sally sighed deeply, "Which means that it would have already been out of her system by the time the blood and urine samples were taken."

Duo bit his lip. His mind raced trying to think of the many various reasons that any one would want to harm Noin; or Sally for that matter.

It just didn't make sense.

"Is there anything more you remember, Sally?"

The medical officer shook her head, "Not at this point, but I'm getting a little sleepy. Would you two mind if we continued this tomorrow?

Duo glanced over at Heero, who gave a slight nod of his head. "Good idea, we need to get home ourselves. We left Itel with Relena and Hilde. No doubt she would have made her presence well known." The chestnut braid swung as he turned to smile at Heero.

"No doubt," Heero replied stoically, moving out of the way of the braid end as it twirled perilously close to his head.

"What are you doing, Wu Fei?" Heero questioned the other Preventer in regards to the situation at hand.

Wu Fei turned his head and gave his wife a questioning look. "I can stay, if you want?"

Sally smiled up at him, "I think I would like that, Wu Fei."

Wu Fei turned back to the others. "Since you both would've heard that, there is no need to repeat it. Yuy are you and Maxwell able to bring some of my clothes in for me tomorrow?"

Heero nodded in confirmation, "I'll organize it with Une to make sure you have a room to yourselves; and don't worry about a thing, Wu Fei. Duo and I will keep an eye on your place for you."

Chang nodded, grateful for the offer. "Thank you, both of you." He glanced down at his wife, taking her hand in his own; something he rarely did in public, "We appreciate your kindness."

Heero ushered Duo towards the door. "If you need anything, Chang, just call."

Wu Fei nodded in acknowledgment as the two men began to exit the room.

"See ya tomorrow, Sal, Wu Fei," Duo called out as he pulled the door shut behind them.

Wu Fei sighed as the silence surrounded them and he sat on the bed beside his wife, "As loud and as noisy as that man is," he said with a jovial tone to his voice. "For some stupid reason I actually miss it when he's not around."

Sally chuckled, "Let's face it, Wu Fei, as much as you and Heero both pretend to be the hard-core tough guys, you're both as gentle as lambs."

"Don't push it, onna..." Wu Fei replied, raising an eyebrow as he leant across to kiss her. "Now, get some rest, " he continued as he broke the kiss. "I'll be right here when you wake."

Sally smiled a tired smile as Wu Fei helped her to get comfortable. Moving away from the bed and towards the seat he stopped suddenly as Sally grabbed him by the hand and he turned around to face her, noting the pleading look in her eyes.

"Please, lay here with me..."

Wu Fei found his lips curling up into a small smile and he gently maneuvered himself to lay next to his wife, careful not to bump her in fear of harming her already bruised body any further. He found himself gazing deeply into her eyes, his hand softly brushing over her bruised cheek.

As he watched her drift quietly off to sleep there was one thing in his mind that he was certain of. Who ever did this to her would pay.
