This How It Is

As they sat in an inn within the city of Meltokio, a quick discussion on how to find a way to stop Zelos from bugging Sheena had been completely derailed to their own opinions of each other became the limelight of the debate. As Sheena sat on the bed carefully eyeing Lloyd as he paced from the bedside table to the window to see the sun set in the city outskirts, he turned to her with a quizzical look on his face. The misunderstanding in a few comments was the reason why the conversation has drawn this way, but hoping to redeem himself he thought he should kill it before it gets out of hand.

"Sheena I..." He was quickly cut off. Sheena knew what he was like and she didn't want him to get away with the chance off settling this tension between them. Clasping her hands together, she held her resolve and faced him with a solid expression.

"Why are things like this between us Lloyd?" Lloyd was known to have the air of obliviousness around him but he knew exactly what she means this time, regardless he tried to play off it.

"I don't know what you're..." Sheena blew it.

"Bullshit and you know it!" Lloyd's face bent into a frown as he looked into the eyes of despair and disappointment that were Sheena's. He made an audio able sigh and ran his un-gloved hands through his hair. He leant back against the wall with his arms crossed and looked back at her.

"You want the truth then?" Lloyd serious voice startled Sheena slightly be her face held still.

"Can't be any worse than what I'm expecting." Sheena folded her arms crossed for his answer but a small smirk crawled on Lloyd's face.

"Well it all depends what you see in this tension." Sheena's face grew harder in annoyance, he was stalling for time and she knew it.

"I know what I see in this but do..."

"I love you."

"Wait, what?" Sheena was totally blindsided by his comment, not believing what she's hearing.

"You heard me, I love you." Sheena blinked twice before turning to answer him.

"How have you figured that one out, do you even know how it feels?" Lloyd frown reappeared and then he shook his head.

"No, I do not know exactly what it feels but from telling you what I feel maybe you can tell me if I'm right or wrong, no?" Sheena shook her head in dismay. 'Damn and I thought he felt the same as me...'

"Why 'I love you', how do you know what would be the right words?" She asked.

"Regal." That was all that needed to be said. Sheena then shook her head and gets this conversation to progress.

"So, what is it exactly that you feel?" Lloyd walked towards her to the point where he was standing over her as she sat on the bed looking up at him. He offered out his hands and Sheena cautiously took them. The second he hands made full contact with his; he squeezed them close and pulled her up into a standing position. He then enclosed his arms around the body of Sheena and held her close. Sheena couldn't actually believe what was happening; she was so close to the one of her heart, she could hear both of theirs beat in sync.

"Well Sheena, I have grown to feel that us meeting even due to circumstance wasn't luck or coincidence, I feel that it was fate. As everyday goes, I can't imagine you not being there. Even as the whole group will split apart and do their own thing once this is over, you're the one person I don't want to let go of. It seems that if anything happened to you, I won't be able to accept it. At first I thought of holding this off but as the days slip by, I feel either something will happen or someone else will catch your interest. As you can see, you saw right through me this time." Sheena snuggled into his chest not believing this is the same Lloyd that she has been travelling around with. The usual Lloyd will never speak this deeply with so much maturity. At the end of the day she got what she wanted to hear and that all that matters to her.

"You prepared that in advance?" Sheena giggled. Lloyd chuckled slightly as one hand left the back of Sheena to scratch the back of his head in mild embarrassment.

"Yeah, sort of..." Sheena giggled again and wrapped her arms around him basking in his warmth.

"Are you even interested in how I feel?" Sheena prodded. Another nervous laugh came from him as he looked down at her. Even with a furious blush on her face, she still had a contempt smile on it.

"Yeah I am." Sheena's smile grew wider.

"Well Lloyd, I feel exactly the same way you do, to the point of where all the stuff Zelos talks about what he does with girls..." She leaned up and pressed a few kisses down his neck causing him to shiver and sigh slightly at this new sensation. "...Is what I would like to do to you..." Hiding her blush she sank back into Lloyd's chest.

"Wow, I guess that settles everything today. Talk about being productive..." Sheena laughed at Lloyd's comment.

"Look Lloyd, I'm not gonna lie to you. I want you to kiss me. If you believe everything you just said to me you will do...humph" With that, Lloyd's lips instantly covered her own in their first ever kiss in their lives. As Sheena pushed back to deepen the embrace she flung her arms around Lloyd's head as Lloyd's hands moved to her hips. The passion started to sink in as Sheena's tongue began to press for entrance into Lloyd's mouth. Doing what was natural he accepted and as Sheena's tongue melted with his own he was a little startled at first but as he then gelled into the embrace and pushed back with as much passion as she gave him. After a few seconds, the gently pulled away from each other to breathe the air they needed. With a loving second brush of the lips, Sheena spoke.

"Martel, that was amazing..." Sheena sighed as felt the warmth of Lloyd's lips leave her own. She softly untangled he hands from the Swordsman's hair and placed them around his neck once again.

"Yeah it was..." Lloyd answered a little breathless. As the two because to recover from their first intimate moment with each other, Sheena was debating where she should go from here.

'Would it be best to make him stay, make him feel how much I need him before it's too late?' The half frown that had appeared on the face of Sheena was taken notice of by Lloyd during her internal thoughts.

"Are you ok Sheena?" Lloyd asked as his soft tone that shocked her out of thoughts. Shaking her head against his chest, she held him tighter against her as she mumbled something against his torso. "What was that Sheena?" She raised her head to meet eyes with him. Also though she has a blush so apparent it seemed all the blood in her body rose to her face, she cleared her voice and spoke again.

"Would you mind staying the night with me?" She mumbled barely audibly. Completely unaware of the embarrassment of her desire being shown, or her desire at all, he smiled graciously and nodded.

"Sure thing Sheena" Hitting her head lightly against him in slight irritation. He didn't have a clue about what was going on in her head and seems she was going to have to lead this courtship from the ground up. Sighing slightly she pulled away from Lloyd (Much to his dismay); she made her way to the door and flicked the lock closed.

'This is one situation Zelos won't mess up.' She amused to herself before walking back to him. The closer she got to him the faster her walking speed as she travelled to him. As soon as he was in arm's reach, she grabbed him by the collar and pushed him back against the bed then she spun around and then threw him on to it with all the power she had in her lust induced body. Completely shocked by her actions, Lloyd was going to protest but before he got his bearings straight after landing on the bed Sheena was already crawling up his body with the look of devilish mischief in her eyes.

"Sheena what..." Instantly cut off by Sheena's feverish lips against his own as she moved to straddle him. As her lips kept him busy she pulled the forearm gloves from her arms and then started to work on the trouser straps on his chest once both were unclipped she pulled away from Lloyd's face and sat up on his chest.

"When you're on the bottom you, look even cuter, you know that?" Still trying to recover from Sheena forwardness and aggression, he shook his head lightly and looked back up at her.

"I guess we plan on doing...?" Lloyd's question was phased out by his uncertainty. Sheena's face softened as she leaned downed to play with his hair.

"Not unless you have any objections." Sheena whispered huskily into his ear. Despite knowing nothing to do with the subject, the very feel of her breath against his skin in such an inviting tone brought shivers up and down his spine. Pulling the buttons on his crimson shirt, the shirt briskly split open at she began to kiss down his neck causing him to moan openly at this new sensation.

"...Sh...Sheena...?" Lloyd called out between gasps.

"Hmmm?" She replied while still kissing down his neck, soon arriving at his chest.

"Is this your first time?" He asked lightly as he tried to see through the haze of lust that has started to gather in his eyes. Sheena began to kiss her way upwards towards his face. Just then she placed her right against his cheek before he subconsciously started to nuzzle against it. With that she brought her lips to his for another full on passionate kiss. Feeling brave, Lloyd's hands started to snake their way up Sheena's hips on to her sides as he gently rubbed in circles, not daring to go any further. Out of reaction Sheena moaned into his mouth from the contacted the slowly pulled away.

"Yes Lloyd, this is my first time." She pulled apart the shirt causing Lloyd to instinctively lift himself of the bed so that Sheena could remove the article of clothing. Almost drooling at his lightly muscled torso, it was so inviting to her she couldn't resists fanning her hand up and down his exposed chest.

"How come you know so much on what you're doing?" Sheena giggled slightly and removed the skin tight sleeves around her arms and threw them to the side.

"I've been doing my research I guess, but this whole experience is new to me..." Sheena brought Lloyd's hand to her breast and Lloyd's hand out of reflex tried to move pull his hand away but Sheena hold still letting his hand cover it. Seeing this as the 'all clear' signal, Lloyd slowly and softly cupped his hand around her breast. Her reaction was immediate, a small moan and whimper escaped her lips as she threw he head back. "...That contact, makes me feel something new Lloyd. Whenever your hands are on me, I just melt and give into to this blissfully good feeling." She sighed as she tried to reposition herself until she noticed something she almost shuffled back on. Her expression turned from one of surprise to mischief. Lloyd instantly knew what she found and with a blush as blazing as the sun, he looked away not to make eye contact.

"Looks like our feelings are mutual." She rocked her hips back causing friction between her heat and his arousal through the fabric. This motion cause Lloyd to buck his hips upwards causing them both to moan aloud simultaneously.

"I see what you mean..." Lloyd gasped as he leaned up to capture Sheena's lips in another kiss. Now with newly sprung confidence, his hands attacked Sheena's body. They reached for Sheena's sash and untied it within record time, catching it before it fell Sheena threw it with the rest of the discarded clothes that were starting to paint the room in its own erotic way. The lack of a sash made Sheena's shorted kimono hang off her, momentarily hiding the curves of her figure. But not to be denied, Lloyd's hands travelled inside and slipped off the purple cloth while his lips went after her neck. Using his tongue to please her near her throat had a positive reaction on Sheena. Her nails dug into his back and she moved he head to the side to allow him more access. Just as she went to reach around to undo the clips of her strapless bra, there was a knock at the door.

"Shit..." Both Sheena and Lloyd whispered to each other.

"Hey Sheena, how come your door is locked?" Zelos' voice could be heard from the other side. Her face instantly reflected the annoyance she felt inside.

"To keep perverts like you out while I'm getting changed!" She shouted back even though Lloyd went back to work on her neck which was getting tortuously close to her breasts while carrying a dark smirk.

"Haha, fair enough. Have you seen Lloyd by any chance, I saw him come up hear a while ago but I haven't seen him since?" Sheena bit back a moan that almost escaped as Lloyd's hands started to cup and massage her breasts through the fabric. She was going to make Lloyd pay after putting her through this.

"Yeah..." Lloyd's eyes went wide as he looked up at her in surprise, she smirked back with something as evil as the one he had earlier. "He said he was going to have a walk around the market before coming back tonight. I haven't seen him since to be honest. It was something about needing new sheathes for his swords or something." Sheena continued as Lloyd went back to what he was doing previously as Sheena's nails dug harder into his skin as she felt his hands snake under her bra to touch her directly.

"That is strange. What did he do; teleport out of here or something?" Sheena made a small giggle before an inaudible moan came from her lips.

"Maybe he went through a window or something, I don't know. Anyway let me get dressed stupid Chosen and I'll chat to you later." Sheena growled slightly when she felt Lloyd's warm tongue just above her nipple as he held her bra out of the way.

"Alright, see you later Sheena." With that his footsteps could be heard going down the hallway of the inn before they eventually faded away. As soon as she heard them go, Sheena turned to Lloyd in mock anger and then pressed her lips to his while pushing him down to the bed. With the quickness of her battle style she undid the clips of her bra and threw it with the rest discarded clothes. Within another passionate embrace their hands wandered as they both reached to the helm of the other's pants. With a soft nod from both of them undid each other's bottoms. As Lloyd finished Sheena's, she pulled away and stood on the bed. As Lloyd began to raise himself to sitting position to wonder what is going on, Sheena used one of her feet to pin him down to the bed by pressing it against his chest. Sheena then slowly and sensually, pulled her bottoms and her panties down her legs. The sight made Lloyd drool with anticipation and want. He was getting a direct view of what he was getting in a few moments, and even though he has never seen a woman's heat before, it was strangely inviting for him. As her clothes reached her feet, she kicked them off into the corner of the room.

"I can't be the only one like this right now could I? It should only be fair..." With skill even unknown to her, she used the foot that was against his€ chest to pull down Lloyd's pants and boxers. Even as her foot lightly grazed his arousal on the way down, he let out a light whimper. He was totally at her mercy and there was nothing he could do about it. When his clothes got to the base he also kicked them off. They made light sound of metal colliding as they hit the ground but those where the least of your worries. As Sheena went back to straddling Lloyd but he flipped them over so Sheena was under him for the first time today.

"Tired of begin dominated?" She asked him with a grin. Lloyd shook his head and smiled back lovingly.

"Nope, it's easier to see how beautiful you are." Sheena blushed furiously before taking his face in her hands and bringing him to her lips. As their kissed continued, Sheena pulled the bow on her hair band so her hair fell to her shoulders. Lloyd's hand started to travel the smooth-as-silk legs of his lover and travelled in between her legs at a tortuously slow pace. She pulled away from his lips to moan before stopping his hand from going any further.

"Something wrong Sheena?" He asked cautiously as looked at her, Sheena just shook her head and smiled.

"Touch me please..." Her voice begged for the feeling she has been dreaming about. As Lloyd slowly lifted his fingers against her heat, she arched her back against him. With a little bit of improvising from Lloyd, he then enveloped one of Sheena's nipples in his mouth as his fingers softly entered his lover's body. The feeling was all too much for the dark haired ninja, as she called out his name and threw her head back in pure unadulterated bliss.

"Ll, Lloyd!" She struggled as his fingers began to work on her insides and his tongue worked on her breasts, alternating between the two. The fires of passion that she has been struggling to suppress were taking her over now, and she was more than happy to let herself go.

'Martel, please don't let this end..." She could feel the heat rising, but then the warmth from between her legs slowly disappeared and Lloyd raised himself from her cleavage. Her eyes snapped open in confusion at the loss of contact. As she opened them, she was met with Lloyd's face, a smiling one at that.

"Should we..." He trailed and still gasping at the lack of contact Sheena nodded furiously while lightly grasping his arousal causing the Lloyd to moan aloud. After stroking him a few times, she then positioned him at her heat, ready and willing to make the plunge of human nature.

"You sure Sheena?" Sheena nodded, happy that he cared so much.

"Yes Lloyd, make me whole." She demanded as she urged her own hips forward wanting the contact. As Lloyd wrapped his arms around Sheena to give him better leverage, he pushed his hips forward as his arousal met her heat for the first time without the constriction of clothes. With one last nod, Lloyd thrust forward causing a gasp and a whither from Sheena. Even though this aspect of their courtship should hurt Sheena even in the slightest but it actually had the opposite effect.

'Oh my...MARTEL!' She screamed in pleasure as she was worked up earlier by Lloyd's fingers, a single thrust brought her to orgasm almost immediately. Her cavern instantly constricted than expanded rhythmically as Lloyd was forced to do nothing but thrust away at her. Her screams of the higher one and his name in time was like gospel music in his ears only served in egging him on in thrusting into her with reckless abandon.

"Lloyd, faster! Harder! Lloyd!" She called out between cries of bliss as Lloyd worked her insides the best he could. The exasperation from the two lovers was becoming visible. Sweat coming from their fully working bodies as the heat and smell of sex lingered and danced in the air. The windows in Sheena's room began to steam over as the two lovers' worlds became cloudy for everything except themselves. This dance of courtship was going to come to an end eventually but not until Sheena reached that high once again.

"Ah...AH....Lloyd I'm gonna...MARTEL!" She screamed as she hit the orgasmic point of love for the second time in a row. That's when a groan hit Lloyd's lips as he joined her through the gates of bliss.

"SHEENA!"

"AH! LLOYD!" From there Lloyd emptied everything he had right into the Sheena. As he rocked his hips against Sheena to ride out their intense and mind blowing orgasm. As their bodies tried to recuperate from their exercise of the heart, Lloyd collapsed face first into Sheena's bosom. A small giggle came from the heavily breathing Sheena as Lloyd looked up to see her with a blissful smile on her face while blushing furiously.

"That was amazing Sheena..." He whispered as Sheena softly ran her fingers through his hair.

"I loved every minute of it Lloyd, I loved it because it was with you." She told him, kissing the top of his head.

"Heh, now I'm knackered." Sheena only smiled at him.

"Same, lets sleep this off and maybe we could do this again in the morning." Lloyd's face brightened like a child at Christmas. This caused Sheena to giggle lightly.

"Really?" Sheena nodded with a faint blush on her face.

"Yes really." Lloyd began to shift himself.

"Do you want me to move; I'm not too heavy am I?" Sheena shook her head before draping the quilt covers over them.

"Nah, you have a pair of pillows that are happy to have you there." Lloyd chuckled slightly.

"Night Sheena, I love you..." Sheena leaned down to kiss him before placing her arms over him.

"I love you too Lloyd." With that, the passion died down as both lovers dreamed their night away with the heavy smell of passion, lust, love and sex in the air.
