Cross Effects 3.0 - The Third Time's the Charm? The Velvet Room (NSFW version)

[Elf]

Forest

The blond blinked as Shirou turned about twenty shades of red as he gently tugged her hand, coaxing her off her perch and towards him.

"I-I think that I'd want to do that too. I've... liked you for awhile now."

Her eyes widened at that and she asked, "Really?  I mean, I like you too, but I thought because what I am sort of put you off towards me."


Rin

Rin eyed the redhead as she took another drink.  She said, "It's not her real name, but her Servant class, and I like her fine.  When she's not all dark and trying to kill me and my Archer.  Who died anyway because he's an idiot."

[Kaze]

"It did, for a little while," the archer said, keeping his arms wrapped around the vampire, wanting to keep her from seeing his face. She was unnaturally cold, unlike a human body, but that didn't faze him. "But I learned that you're not like the dead apostles from before."

Besides, I thought you were beautiful even before I understood who you were, he thought to himself, but didn't want to say aloud. What came out instead was "Apparently I'm weak to blondes."

[Elf]

Forest

Forest stiffened for a moment as he wrapped his arms around her; it wasn't because of him, but because of the prickling of fear that never seemed to go away.  However he was warm, very warm and she found herself relaxing in his arms before holding him close.  His cheek was resting on the top of her head, and it felt good.

"But I learned that you're not like the dead apostles from before."

Besides, I thought you were beautiful even before I understood who you were.

She held him closer when she heard his thought as he said, "Apparently I'm weak to blondes."

She laughed at that and said, "Well, I'm weak to Asians and redheads so . . ."

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou gave a soft snort at Forest's words. "My hair isn't all that red anymore, you know."

The way that they were holding each other felt wonderful, and reminded him a little of the way Luvia used to hold onto him when they were alone. His cheek rested on top of her head and she snuggled in closer.

It was nice, but also a little awkward. Was this supposed to progress into more? He didn't want to ruin this moment with unwanted advances, but he also wanted to go further, to see how far she would let him.

He pulled away from the embrace, at once missing the feeling of her in his arms, but placed one hand on her cheek and slowly leaned in, hoping it was clear what his intent was, to press his lips against hers.

[Elf]

Forest

"My hair isn't all that red anymore, you know," Shirou said with a snort and Forest chuckled.

Then she blinked as he pulled back, but then one warm hand was on her cheek and he slowly moved in.  Nervousness ripped through her, but she leaned in as well, half desperate to meet his lips with her own.  So the blond closed the gap, gently brushing her lips against his and shivering slightly at the contact.

When was the last time I did this?  With Aaron, she thought to herself as danced her lips against his, one nimble hand entangling in his hair.

Shirou pulled back a little in surprise when Forest moved forward to kiss him, but quickly relaxed and wrapped his free arm around her shoulders. They held each other for a moment, connected. Then they pulled away, his thumb rubbing circles on her cheek. He could hear his heart beating in nervous excitement. He wasn't sure how far to go, so simply leaned back in for another kiss, this one more firm, and his grip around her tightened. He wanted to feel more of her.

When he pulled back again, he looked her in the eyes and asked "Do you want to... to bite me and, o-other things?"

[Elf]

Forest

Forest leaned against his touch after the first kiss, her eyes closing as she reveled in it.  His heart was racing, thundering in her ears and the smell of him, like leather, steel, and forge smoke, was thick in the air.  She could almost taste it, just as she tasted him as he moved for another kiss, this one needier than the first. 

She responded, her lips parting in a gentle surrender as he held her close.  She could taste apples, from the drink he'd been nursing and it was sweet with a slight burn.

He parted lips and then those mismatched eyes met hers as he asked, "Do you want to... to bite me and, o-other things?"

"H-honestly, I want to do the o-other things more," she said, her voice a husky, trembling throb as she looked up at him, her hand gripping his.

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

"Well, okay, uh," Shirou muttered stupidly, embarrased and flustered but happy all the same. Holding her hand, he led Forest over to the large bed and sat down on it, motioning for her to do the same.

"So... have you done this sort of thing before?" he asked.

[Elf]

Forest

The blond chewed on her lip as Shirou took her by the hand and led her to the bed.  He sat on it and he motioned for her to join him.  So she sank down beside him, toying absently with the cuff of her duster.

"So... have you done this sort of thing before?" he asked.

Forest sighed; this was the part that was going to get awkward, but if she didn't say anything it wouldn't good for either of them.

She took a deep, unneeded breath and said, "Yeah, it's been . . . an absurdly long time tough and . . ."  She looked down, bit her lip and mumbled, "And physically I'm sort of . . . an eternal virgin."

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou frowned, puzzled, trying to figure out what Forest meant. Her kind of vampire regenerated back to the form they were in the moment they turned. Then it clicked for him.

"So every time hurts like the first," he said with a sigh, then put an arm around her shoulders and pulled the blond vampire close. The Emiya magus leaned in to press his lips to hers in a slow, gentle kiss that tasted faintly of oranges. When he pulled back, his mismatched eyes looked into her brilliant ruby ones. "Are you sure you want to do this? I-I mean, I'm not a virgin but I'm not very experienced..."

[Elf]

Forest

Forest nodded at Shirou's deduction and looked away for a moment before his eyes met hers.  He pulled her close before kissing her, and she could taste the sweet apples again as she returned the kiss, wrapping her arms around him.

He pulled away, his eyes meeting hers again, "Are you sure you want to do this? I-I mean, I'm not a virgin but I'm not very experienced..."

She stroked his hair, bit her lip, and said, "And . . . I don't care.  I want to do this.  I wouldn't be sitting on this bed if I didn't."

She then grinned, giggled, somewhat nervously, and said, "Hey if you know what the clitoris is then you should be okay."

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou let out a sigh as Forest stroked his hair, reminded of how much Luvia had liked to play with it. He pushed the memory away, right now he wanted to focus on the woman who was here.

"Ah, yeah," he mumbled awkwardly at her words, not sure how to respond to that. He had the green light to go forward with this, but now his mind was blank and suddenly he didn't know what to do.

Deciding that it was impossible to go wrong with more kissing, he leaned in to press his lips to hers again, more eagerly than before, but this time he wasn't satisfied with just her lips. He wanted to hold her, to feel more of her body and trailed kisses along her cheek and jawbone, slowly leading down to her neck.

[Elf]

Forest

"Ah, Yeah," Shirou said, more of a mumble than anything as they sat quietly for a moment.  Forest toyed with the sleeve of her coat for a moment before Shirou leaned forward, his lips meeting hers again.  She leaned forward, eagerly returning he kiss as she wrapped her arms around him again.

One hand gently entangled in his hair while the other splayed across his back, feeling the thick muscles there. 

His lips moved from her mouth to her cheek, then down the line of her jaw.  She tilted her head back, exposing he long line of her neck.  A shiver ran through her and she gasped as his lips brushed against her skin.  The hand on his back kneaded just a bit as she felt her toes curl as sparks of bliss started to arc within her.

She kissed the side of his face, the hand on his back carefully pulling up his shirt so she could slide her hand under the fabric so she could feel his warmth directly on her palm.

[Kaze]

EMIYA SHIROU

Shirou could feel her shiver in his arms, her lips on his cheek, the hand in his hair and rubbing along his back beneath his shirt. He continued to trail kisses down her neck until he reached the edge of her collarbone, where her shirt barred further progress. The freelancer frowned, annoyed, then pulled back to kill Forest more on her lips while one of his hands moved from her back to slide beneath her shirt, rubbing just above her bellybutton.

"We should get you out of those," he mumbled between heated, impatient kisses. He wanted, needed to see and feel and taste more of her beautiful alabaster skin.

[Elf]

Forest

A cry tore from her lips as Shirou ran kisses down to her collar bone until he frowned before lifting his head to kiss him again.  The kiss was different, hungrier and had an edge of impatience to it.   She returned it in kind and arched as a warm hand slid up her shirt, nimble fingers rubbing along the sculpted ridge of her abdomen right above her belly button.

The touch tickled and she squirmed just a bit, a bit of a giggle stifled by his lips.

"We should get you out of those," Shirou murmured against her lips and she nodded.

She drew back, biting her lip as she shimmied out of her duster, letting it fall to the floor before pulling the black shirt she was wearing off as well.  Since she normally forwent a bra, her upper half was completely bare to his gaze.  Her skin was white and flawless, like fine porcelain, and her muscles elegantly sculpted, a fighter's tone without any unneeded bulk.
