A Second Chance and a First Time

Literotic asexstories – A Second Chance and a First Time by Maskedhero100,Maskedhero100
It was the early hours of the night in Tokyo, Japan.

It had been a crazy adventure.

It had started on New Years Eve, when Shadow Knight’s sister Rachel Kishi and his adopted daughter Kairi Kishi were both kidnapped by the Ninjazons, agents of the immortal Warlord known as The Shogun. A genocidal madman from the Feudal Era who desired to wipe out any and all non-Japanese races and people…and anyone who wasn’t pure blooded Japanese as well. He had attempted to do so by launching a terror campaign with a biological weapon, a Virus that would wipe out anyone who wasn’t Japanese, one that was created and programed by nanites from an Alternate Future provided to him by the Time Breakers to cause chaos in the present time.

He called it the Red Sun Virus, and it was as deadly as it sounded.

The villain had test fired it upon a city in China as revenge for the invasion attempts by the Mongols.

Chameleon, the time traveling defender of the time stream who looked like a humanoid lizard man in a trench coat but who could shapeshift his appearance and form to fit in no matter what era he was in, had managed to procure a remedy to this virus from an alternate future and brought it back to the past for SLEET to mass produce to combat this threat.

As it turned out, the Virus was only one part of the archvillains master plan. He also planned to find the hidden kingdom of the mythical Princess Kaguya-Himme and obtain her powers so that no one would ever be able to stop him after Shadow Knight had beaten him the first time, sending him to what he had thought had been a watery grave in the waters of the Pacific.

The bastard had not only survived, but had walked the long way home across the floor of the ocean. His immortality and kinetic absorption and strength enhancement given to him centuries ago by the Tree of Life had saved him.

But while he searched for this treasure, he had also enacted a revenge scheme that had been several years in the making. As it turned out, Rachel was the one who had kidnapped Kairi. She had been unknowingly taking a mind control drug for years in her medicinal tea and secretly indoctrinated into being one of The Shogun’s Ninjazons. She had been brainwashed into thinking her brother, Kagae Kishi, had been the one who had murdered their sister Mariko and raped her that fateful night instead of one of The Brain Of Crime’s hitmen…the Black Alley cat Murderer, Blackie Nelson.

The same man who became the supervillain Dark Shadow, the killer of Kairi’s family.

Believing these lies, Rachel had nearly killed her own brother who had fallen into the trap laid out for him by his Archenemy. Thankfully, Spectress, who had been assigned to investigate Yakuza ties to the Viral attack in China had learned about the attempt on her estranged childhood friends life and had come to his rescue. Reconciling after years of being apart after their mission in Dubai had ended badly between them, the two teamed up to track down Kairi and find the Lost city before The Shogun could.

In the underground city The Shogun managed to poison both Kairi and Spectress with the Virus before challenging Shadow Knight to brave the deadly traps and puzzles defending the resting place of the Moon Empress herself.

A great battle ensued between The Shogun’s forces and S.L.E.E.T which ended with The Shogun being infected with his own virus, learning to his disgust and disbelief that he wasn’t pure blooded and buried under a mountain of rubble.

Hopefully this time, he was gone for good.

Rachel had been broken free of her brainwashing as well by that point.

But things hadn’t ended as cleanly as everyone would have hoped. While the world had been saved and Kairi and Spectress had both been given the cure. Shadow Knight in an attempt to motivate Spectress to fight for her life against the virus… had kissed her. Revealing to her how much she meant to him. This had the unfortunate side affect of infecting him as well, wrecking havoc with his healing ability and shadow powers, and putting him at a severe disadvantage against his enemy. Ultimately leaving him a nearly dying, bleeding, wounded mess after the battle despite coming out the victor.

He had been given the cure, and been taken here to the Tokyo SLEET medical wing in the Japanese chapter of the world wide counter terrorism and espionage agency.

Right now, the enigmatic Chameleon and Rachel Kishi walked down the hall towards the medical wing of the Japanese S.L.E.E.T base.

They were checking up on Shadow Knight and how the doctors were faring trying to heal him.

The two of them made their way down the hall, and into the room where the Healer machine was located.

The machine was a H shaped in design, with a long glass tube running horizontally between two energy emitters. Inside the tube was a comfy yet also firm medical bed.

The machine was designed to emit a type of M-Radiation that would cause rapid healing and regeneration in afflicted subjects placed within that capsule. The shutters around the glass would close when the machine was active.

Right now, the shutters were closed.

She couldn’t see inside to know if her brother was okay or not.

Commander Arcane, Hardcastle, and the Japanese commander of SLEET were already there, waiting for the machine to do its work mending the wounds her brother had sustained during his battle with The Shogun.

She had no problem walking in there without wearing her Ninjazon mask, as far as anyone outside of Commanders Arcane and Hardcastle knew…she was just a rich American woman who got swept up in this insanity as part of The Shoguns genocidal plot who Shadow Knight had tracked down and rescued after being recruited by SLEET to do so.

No one else in the room knew that was her brother who was under that fright mask.

“Miss Kishi, Chameleon…” Commander Hardcastle greeted, “Thank you for joining us.”

“I just wanted to make sure the man who saved my life is okay,” Rachel Kishi said to the female commander of SLEET, “He looked pretty bad when you wheeled him in here on that gurney.”

“He was” the head TechNet doctor stepped in, “a few minutes later and we might not have been able to help him, and if Spectress hadn’t injected him with the cure Chameleon provided to SLEET for that strain of the Red Sun Virus…then you would be paying for his funeral flowers and casket Miss Kishi instead of thanking him. She saved his life.”

“She did…more than once…” Rachel Kishi nodded in acknowledgment “I guess even the Shadow Knight needs saving sometimes.”

She remembered when Spectress had come to her brothers rescue during the trap in Skytree Tower the other night. How she had nearly kicked hers and the assembled Ninjazons asses to protect him when he was vulnerable. The Shogun had called her a ‘Kitsune’ because of her beauty and deadly prowess with her bio-suit’s combat capabilities which were rather a lot like the Venom symbiote in those Spider-Man comics her brother used to read as a kid.

“You didn’t remove the mask, did you?” Rachel Kishi asked concerned.

“Didn’t have to” the TechNet doctor assured her, “the shadow knight’s condition did not warrant us removing it. This machine could fix that slash cut on his face without having to remove it. Although I have to admit…we were tempted to take it off to find out who it is under that mask. But protocol is protocol and orders are orders. We’re doctors, not spies.”

“Is he still in there?” Chameleon asked.

“They both are” The head TechNet doctor answered.

“They?” Commander Arcane asked in response, quirking his head in question.

The head TechNet doctor pushed back the brim of his glasses and gathered his words.

“The woman who came in with him, one of your Agents Commander, she had some severe bruising around her trachea and some minor injuries, nothing that warranted the use of ‘The Healer’ machine. But she refused to leave his side, so we threw them both in.”

The three commanders, Chameleon and Rachel both did a double take and gawked at the head TechNet doctor in disbelief.

“You threw them in that thing…together? Are you insane?!” Rachel declared.

“It’s perfectly safe, we’ve done it millions of times before.” the head TechNet doctor explained, confused as to what everyone’s problem was.

“A man and woman who have just been through hell are now with one another in a soundproof, tightly enclosed space, with total privacy…and you can’t put two and two together as to why this could be a problem?” Chameleon asked in disbelief, “I thought you were doctors, not dunces!”

The head doctor did a double take, but then realized what Chameleon was insinuating and shook his head in disagreement.

“No way, not a chance, we would have noticed that!” the head TechNet doctor shook his head in disagreement, walking over to the control panel of The Healer machine.

“We’ve been monitoring their heartbeats, their respiration, their blood level, etc…and as you can see, they are perfectly normal. They aren’t even moving, so they could be just relaxing or sleeping, they’ve been through a hell of a thing after all. Anyone would be exhausted. Hell, we can listen in on them if we wanted to, with this microphone button. We’ll have it set for listening in, not for talking. You will hear for yourself, they aren’t doing anything but relaxing while the healing radiation of the machine does its work.”

The head TechNet doctor flipped the switch.

Instead of the sounds of relaxation, the doctor was sure they would hear if they listened in…the sounds that they heard coming from both Kagae and Gwen’s voices inside the tube were more…orgasmic in audio nature coming through the speakers.

“Oh god!” Chameleon’s face palmed, “That is worse than walking in on your parents!”

Turning a shade of red, the head TechNet doctor flicked the ‘listening in’ switch from ‘on’ to ‘off’ in a flash.

“Ahem…well…” he stammered sheepishly, “as you can hear, the machine is keeping them relaxed while also tending to their painful injuries. They are still in obvious pain. I think we should give them a…few more hours?”

“I think it’s time you and your staff had a tea break, a LONG one. We could all use some tea…with sake!” the Japanese commander of SLEET declared, trying to change the uncomfortably awkward situation.

“I’ll take mine with a bunch of brain bleach to wash out that image the good doctor just painted a clear audio picture for us,” Rachel said under her breath, turning to leave with the others.

“Turn the lights off when you leave,” Commander Arcane said to the TechNet medical staff.

Rachel and Chameleon left the Healer room alongside Commanders Arcane and Hardcastle.

Although she was squicked out by the whole thing just like Chameleon was, Rachel couldn’t help but shrug and look over at Chameleon “Can’t say I’m surprised.”

“Me either” Chameleon agreed.

“It was bound to happen sometime!” Commander Arcane declared.

“Spectress and Shadow Knight?” Rachel Kishi inquired about what he was referring to.

“No…” Commander Arcane corrected, “Someone unconventionally using the Healer tube.”

Commander Hardcastle then looked over her shoulder and smirked, adding to her husbands statement “And yes…Shadow Knight and Spectress.”

“My only regret is that we should have thrown them in the tank sooner! All that pent-up sexual tension that those two have towards one another…we might not get that tank back till tomorrow!” Commander Arcane said in response.

The four of them laughed as they walked away down the hall leaving Shadow Knight and Gwen alone in the healer tank.

Inside the healing tube, however, enclosed away from prying eyes by the shutters and bathed in purple-tinted light, Kagae and Gwen were quite clothed, and not having sex at all.

Gwen’s bodysuit was still in its combat mode form and not its naked “seduction mode” and Kagae was wearing medical boxer shorts…his mask lying in the far corner of the tube.

Nothing had been going on between them.

They had been merely pretending to be, they had played a trick to keep the shutters of the healing pipe closed so they could have some time alone with themselves without the world interfering now that the machine had healed their wounds.

They had been using Kagae’s shadow powers to eavesdrop in on the conversation outside before playing their ruse when the doctor made his move for the microphone switch…a ruse which apparently had worked.

“They are gone, we’re alone now,” Kagae said to Gwen who lay beside him in the tube.

“Good!” Gwen declared, pushing herself up so she was sitting upright inside the tube which barely had enough clearance for her to do so, while Kagae scooted away from her “I need a break from all that we just went through without SLEET trying to send me off to Kathmandu or somewhere else for whatever reason.”

“Told you that they would leave the room and us alone if they heard that kind of noise coming from us,” Kagae said to Gwen inside the healer machine’s containment tube.

“Do you ever get tired of being right?” Gwen looked over her shoulder at him, smiling playfully.

“Yes,” Kagae answered emphatically.

“I can’t believe they feel for that, your sister included!” Gwen scoffed in disbelief, sitting up to stretch her arms “They are practically saying they are fine with the idea of us using a SLEET healing machine as a love hotel…and we aren’t even doing or planning to do anything. Pfft…Like anything kinky was going to happen in this tube between us just because were all alone in a tight space! That’s straight out of a bad romance movie!”

“Yeah, imagine that!” Kagae agreed, while secretly admiring Gwen’s back from where he lay before sitting up himself “Now that they are gone, how about I shadow-walk us out of here, I grab my hat and cloak and we play hooky for the night? At least, I think it’s nighttime. My shadow vision doesn’t exactly show me if it is or not while we’re inside this thing…and it feels like we were both out of it for a quite a while before waking up a moment ago. If it is night, that’d be nice. Tokyo is very lovely and lively at night I hear.”

“Just hold on Kagae,” Gwen said to him, her expression now serious “I want to talk with you about something first.”

“What do you want to talk about?” Kagae asked with genuine curiosity.

“About that kiss?” Gwen said, getting straight to the point.

Kagae scoffed, of course, she wanted to talk about that. “You never were one for beating around the bush, were you?”

Gwen then became stern, “That was very brave and very stupid of you! You infected yourself. You nearly got yourself killed because of it!”

“People always do crazy things when they are afraid” Kagae answered unapologetically, looking up at her with sincerity “and I was so afraid I was going to lose you. I needed you to fight the virus to stay alive, so I gave you motivation.”

“I can understand that. But…What I want to know is why. You could have just told me to fight to survive. Why did you kiss me?” Gwen pressed again.

“Why do YOU think I kissed you?” Kagae asked.

“I…I don’t know. I… think… I know, but I want to be sure. I mean…Kagae…why? Why would you kiss me? Why endanger yourself like that? What exactly am I to you?” Gwen asked, genuinely confused and curious at the same time.

He had told her that he loved her before he had passed out following the battle and escape from the collapsing underground dome…but part of her believed that this had been said by him out of delirious blood loss and enduring the excruciating pain of both his sustained wounds and the effects of the Red Sun Virus.

She wanted to hear him say it again, and she feared that she was getting the wrong idea in doing so.

Kagae probably didn’t even remember saying those words to her, and if he did, she knew he wouldn’t admit to saying them.

So she was stunned when Kagae reached forward and ran his hand through her hair in a soothing manner, the same way he had when they were children.

He looked into her eyes with warmth and sincerity.

“You are everything I want in a woman. You are smart, funny, courageous, and caring, and you have a dark side like mine and you use it to serve the light like I do. You make me feel alive Gwen. Like I’m not alone anymore, that I have a friend who is also like no other friend that I have. That’s what you are to me, Gwen. It’s the same way I felt for Raven, and I feel it just as strongly for you when I’m around you. I don’t know if it’s love, or it is just me being a very lonely man longing for genuine female companionship. All I know is that if I had lost you as well. If you had died, I would never have forgiven myself and gone out of my mind with grief. I swear to God I would have.” Kagae said earnestly, bearing his soul to her.

“…Oh,” Gwen said simply.

Her tone was of a dull surprise, but in contrast, her face showed shocked disbelief upon hearing him say this.

She was gob smacked.

She didn’t know what to say.

If she did, she couldn’t find the courage to say it.

Despite what she had felt and the thoughts she had when he had kissed her back in Tsuin, now that she was here with Kagae in this enclosed space…Gwen was at a loss for what to do or say.

Kagae had just declared his love for her…twice.

And as much as she wanted to say she felt the same, fear kept her mouth shut.

Of all the men she had been with and seduced, this was the only one who truly mattered to her and whom of which she couldn’t stand to lose as a dear friend…because he was someone who she saw as more than a friend.

She had felt that way about him for years, but never had the courage to admit or act on those feelings, and it had resulted in both her and Kagae falling out and not seeing each other again for several years.

She was tired of being and feeling alone, living in a world of deception and lies, engaging in romantic relationships that were nothing more than means to ends, she didn’t feel anything for the men and women she had seduced and slept with in her line of work as a SLEET agent.

They werent even ships that passed in the night.

She treated and viewed them the same way they viewed her, as something that could be exploited in order to satisfy her desires and goals and then be discarded when she got what she wanted from them…she was like a sexual vampire.

They didn’t mean anything to her, and she meant nothing to them.

That had never bothered her since the men and women she had hypnotized or seduced into her clutches were always bad people, and she enjoyed the feeling of making these sociopath’s puppets in her hands…but she always felt envious of real couples and curious about what it felt like to be with someone who truly loves you.

Only one man made her feel that way…and he was looking right at her with those glowing red eyes of his, making her heart pound in her chest with his earnest words.

Kagae was the only one who knew who she was, accepted her flaws, and made her feel alive inside…and that’s why she loved him.

She truly loved him.

She had always loved him, even when they were children and didn’t know what love was he meant the world to her…but now she had the chance to act on those feelings.

She knew she had to say something, or she risked losing him again, maybe forever.

That scared her more than telling him how she felt about him did.

Enough that it started to loosen her tongue.

“Kagae…I…” she tried to say to him how she felt.

“Do you wonder?” Kagae asked her earnestly.

“Wonder about what?” Gwen asked curiously.

“What if we hadn’t been pretending a moment ago? What would it have been like?” Kagae answered.

“Kagae…” Gwen scoffed, “don’t be silly.”

“Do you want to find out?” Kagae answered, giving her a interested look.

Gwen gave Kagae a double take, she was surprised to hear such a question come from him of all people.

“What? What are you saying?” Gwen asked, but she already knew the answer.

“I’m saying that you and I have this place to ourselves for the night” Kagae shrugged, “its private, roomy and comfortable. Why shouldn’t we take advantage of it If we choose to do so?”

“What’s gotten into you?” Gwen was surprised by how bold Kagae was being.

“I’m just tired of spending my nights alone, and I would rather much like to spend this night alone with you.” Kagae said with longing in his voice and eyes.

“You…” she struggled to find the words, and when she finally did, she couldn’t believe she said them “You want to sleep with me?”

“No” Kagae shook his head.

“No?” Gwen responded with confusion, trying to mask her disappointment upon hearing that.

But then kagae leaned forward to whisper in her ear seductively “I want to make love to you, there is a difference.”

Gwen felt shivers run up her spine upon hearing him say that.

“I…uh…what’s the difference?” Gwen stammered.

Kagae smirked, “Well…mostly it involves a lot of these.”

Kagae kissed her with the same intensity that he had back in the lost city of Tsuin.

Gwen tensed up at first, but then she melted into the kiss like she had in Tsuin.

He pulled back so he could get a good look at Gwen’s face now that he had made clear his intentions and his feelings towards her.

He had expected a willing and eager bedroom smile from her after telling her how he felt about her.

Instead, Gwen was sporting a conflicted façade, and she was trembling.

Her eyes were tearing up.

“Your crying!” Kagae said with concern.

“I am…” Gwen said, looking at him with sincerity “I am very scared right now.”

“Why?” Kagae asked confused.

“You know why…” Gwen said, with tears in her eyes.

“I was too forward, wasn’t I?” Kagae asked apologetically, and then began apologizing “I’m sorry. I just…I haven’t had a woman make me feel this way in years and… damn it, I jumped the gun and ruined the tender moment we were having again just like I did in Dubai! I shouldn’t have expected to go to straight to home base on a home run. I’m sorry!”

“No, it’s not that” Gwen shook her head, “I feel so happy to hear you say those things, and…I do want to do it with you Kagae, but I’m afraid to do it. I’m terrified.”

“Why?” Kagae asked in surprised confusion.

If Gwen wanted to have sex as well, what was she so afraid of?

She had sex all the time as part of her job as a seductress spy/assassin after all…she had even hypnotized her marks into having sex with her on occasion.

Men, women, it didn’t matter to her.

It was what the Brain of Crime had made her into, but it was also what she had ultimately accepted to be her true nature once her free will was returned to her. It was all she knew how to be.

Her whole life had been and was about lies and deception.

Now here she was with someone who wanted her with no hypnosis or perverse lust, someone who wanted her for who she was and not just for how she looked.

Who knew the real her, and accepted her.

Back in Dubai, she had rejected him when he had tried to start a romantic relationship with her because she didn’t know about Raven’s death and accused him of trying to cheat on her through her.

Now that she knew the truth about what had happened and how much he cared for her, and admitted that she also wanted to make love…she had cold feet?

Why?

A part of him wanted to scream.

This was absolutely frustrating.

There was nothing to stop them from finally consummating their feelings for one another now, so why?

What was her issue now?

“We could screw up everything…and I couldn’t bear losing you, for good this time. This isn’t something we can ever come back from if we go through with it” Gwen countered.

Suddenly Kagae understood why Gwen was afraid to go all the way with him tonight.

She was afraid of losing him.

The same fear of loss that had driven him to not hold back on his feelings for her anymore, was also what was inhibiting her desire to consummate her feelings for him.

“You don’t have to be afraid of anything Gwen,” Kagae said to her, placing a hand to her cheek comfortingly “Fear is what’s kept us away from each other all these years. It’s time we stopped being afraid, and finally take that leap together we should have taken that night in Dubai.”

“But Kagae…” Gwen said apprehensively, “Even if we want to give this spark between us a gasoline tank to ignite on…we…we’re just not compatible. We’re too different. You’re a Japanese American, I’m Chinese Hawaiian, You’re a vigilante Detective and I’m a seductress spy, you’re a metahuman and I’m a regular human. We aren’t normal people, by any stretch of the imagination, and we live in a world that loves to tear relationships and friendships like ours apart for being so different from what’s considered normal. What if by doing this…we ruin what we have instead of strengthening it? We end up hating each other and never speaking to or wanting to see one another ever again. That thought terrifies me like nothing ever has before… because you are the best thing to ever happen to me Kagae. You’re the greatest friend I ever had. I don’t want to lose you again. I don’t want to lose our friendship.”

“You won’t Gwen” Kagae assured her, “because we’re like peanut butter and jam…remember?”

Gwen couldn’t help but chuckle slightly at the sound of their old childhood saying. It was one of the few happy memories she had of that time of her life.

“We stick together” Gwen nodded, confirming that she remembered.

“We are different…but we are also a man and a woman…who love one another. To hell with what the world thinks and to hell with living a normal life! I would rather fight for what little I have won from this imperfect ungrateful world I sacrifice for every day… just so long as it’s a life that has you in it” Kagae responded.

Gwen tried to say something but found she had no words.

There was nothing more that needed to be said.

He had her hooked at the part with him declaring how he wanted her in his life.

The cynical side of her that told her this could never work out between the two of them…had been silenced.

Her eyes were full of happy tears, her heart was pounding in her chest, and she smiled at him in a way she had never smiled before.

She found herself drifting towards him.

Her mask ‘melting’ away to reveal her face instead of the Kabuki mask.

Her lips found his.

She kissed him.

Wrapping her arms around his neck and embracing him with the same passion he had displayed for her towards him.

As she and Kagae kissed, Gwen’s battle suit began to ‘melt away’, slowly revealing the beautiful naked body she had hidden beneath that suit’s tar-black liquid latex-like substance to him as it switched to “Seduction mode” once again.

She broke free of the kiss and pulled away to sit back where she had been sitting a second ago so that he could see and fully take in the sight of her naked body.

She grinned as she saw Kagae’s eyes examining every corner of herself.

He was committing the features of her naked body to memory.

She had a sexy athletic hourglass figure, no doubt from her many years of combating agents of FEIND, nocturnal habits, and running across rooftops. Her black hair cut into a pixie city style. Her eyes, green like emerald jewels. Her lips coated in black lipstick. Her eyes shadowed by dark blue colors. Her breasts round and firm with brown areolas. Her legs were shapely, and between them a tuff of black hair crowned her crotch. He couldn’t see what lay beneath that patch of hair, but the thought of what lay out of sight between those kneeling legs was enough to get his blood running and his mind to start thinking of what he would do to and do with her most intimate regions tonight.

She had a few scars here and there where her armor had failed her on occasion, most notably a bullet wound scar on her right breast.

It didn’t tarnish her appeal at all.

Her body was always beautiful in Kagae’s eyes, even though she had claimed to him once that she really wasn’t and he had told her differently… but here bathed in the healing tube’s purple light, Gwen was in his eyes a goddess.

A beautiful naked goddess.

What she saw as imperfections and flaws that were undesirable, he saw as something that was part of one big, beautiful work of art.

He wondered if Gwen saw him the same way, was he a handsome figure in her eyes?

He had never considered himself handsome, and yet he had won the heart of this woman who would have made those bullies’ jaws hit the floor if she walked by with her arm around his back in school.

Gwen indeed seemed to see him the same way, only she was more eager than he was to have her way with Kagae’s nearly naked body.

She looked at him with inquisitive eyes, “Do you like what you see?”

From the visible bulge protruding from within his medical boxer shorts, and feeling a bit turned on herself at the sight. Gwen knew Kagae liked the sight of her naked body…but she wanted to hear him say it.

It was her temptress nature.

“I’ve seen it before, and I have always liked it Gwen” Kagae answered her, without hesitation “You truly are the most beautiful woman in the world.”

“Which part of me do you like the most? Which part of me do you want the most?” Gwen asked seductively, running her hands up her sides before fondling herself “My curves, my breasts, my lips…my bush? Which catches your eye?”

“Everything,” Kagae answered truthfully.

“Then I’ll give you my…everything…and more. I’ll give you me all of me entirely, now, mama wants to open her presents. Hold still.” Gwen teased then reached down and momentarily used the sharp tendrils of her suits fingertips to help her rip Kagae’s medical boxers to shreds.

She marveled at the sight of his dick which stood fully erect before her, springing up from beneath the ripped boxers like a jack in the box… it was bigger than she remembered when she had last seen it in Dubai.

“Was that really necessary?” Kagae asked her..

“Necessary? You ask me that? After telling me how much you want me and making me want you so badly with your words and silver tongue? Kissing me so deeply you leave me breathless? You’re in the lion’s den with the lioness now knight and she’s in heat!” Gwen hissed seductively, “Do you not realize what you’ve done? What you’ve let out of me?”

“Your horny wild side?” Kagae asked, “Good. That’s what I was hoping for!”

Gwen yelped in surprise when Kagae grabbed her, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her back with him, before turning her over onto her back.

He pinned her to the floor, his chest on top of hers, his lower body lying across and beside hers with his free hand placing itself firmly between her legs.

“Because I have a wild side as well…and it’s been set free. So, the question is…can you handle a metahumans lust?” Kagae said, restraining the intrigued Gwen as his free hand went to work petting her crotch.

“Oh!” Gwen gasped, nibbling on her lower lip as Kagae touched and rubbed her fleshy wet slit, rubbing her breasts with her own hands in arousal “I don’t know, mmmm…but I’m willing to find out!”

Kagae then stuck two of his right fingers into Gwen’s wet hole and began fingering her, brushing against her clitoris with his palm as he did so.

“OH YEAH! That’s it! Just like that Kagae! Ohhhhh! So… much… better than the bubble bath!” Gwen declared.

“One of these days you’re going to have to tell me what the hell you mean by that” Kagae smirked in amusement at Gwen’s declaration.

“OH!” Gwen moaned, “Your nosy parker you! Let a girl keep some of her secrets! Surely you don’t think I’ll spill the dirty secret of the bubble bath with you so easily just because you’re playing with my button do you?”

“I won’t know until I try” Kagae teased her.

“Other men have tried to break me to get me to spill my secrets before, You’ll have to work hard if you want to make this little bird sing for you!” Gwen flashed her eyes daringly at him.

“Is that a challenge?” Kagae smirked with a raised eyebrow.

“That’s a request, big boy!” Gwen challenged with a playful daring look, grabbing him by the cock and returning the favor.

Kagae groaned as Gwen began to pleasantly yank and squeeze his erect cock, sporting a devilish grin as she played with him the same way he was playing with her “Leaving yourself vulnerable to a surprise attack, so unlike you Shadow Knight!”

“You’ve left yourself vulnerable as well” Kagae pointed out.

“Where?” Gwen asked, with a confused look on her face.

“Right here!” Kagae said, and then he leaned in to kiss her deeply on her lips.

Gwen closed her eyes and released her grip on Kagae’s cock to wrap her arms around his neck and pull him into her embrace.

As he continued to kiss and finger Gwen, he also began fondling her left breast with his free left hand.

Most men who ever touched her breasts treated them like they were trying to milk her like a cow and sometimes if not always, it hurt. Kagae however was both gentle and firm, almost to the point that he was massaging them in his grip and was paying attention to her responses and adjusting his efforts accordingly.

It was a very pleasurable feeling.

Not many men and even some women she had ever been with had cared about pleasing her before themselves, and certainly not always without being under her hypnotic spell.

Kagae was the first real man she had ever been with who was interested in her enough to care about what felt good for her, who was making love to her of his own free will…and she was loving every second of it.

Kagae broke away from her lips, causing Gwen to moan in disappointment as she had been enjoying his kisses, but she giggled when he nibbled on her right ear because it tickled.

He KNEW she was ticklish there!

“Cheap shot!” she had said to him after he had tickled her.

He then started kissing the side of the right side of her neck.

“Oh…that feels nice!” Gwen sighed with satisfaction.

She shivered as Kagae moved from her neck and began kissing her neckline, moving down between her cleavage.

She whined in protest when he stopped massaging her breast and removed his fingers from inside her, but then she opened her eyes in surprised disbelief when Kagae kissed her on her stomach.

First her neck, then her neckline, now her stomach?

He wasn’t going where she thought he was with this, was he?

“Kagae? What are you…DOING?!” Gwen gasped and yelped; her suspicions of where he was going were confirmed when she felt Kagae give her pussy a deep French kiss with his tongue.

He further surprised her by performing oral sex on her.

Kagae knew how to do that?

Oh…GOD, YES! He knew how to do that!

“Oh…oh…ooohh! Mmmm…ahhhh…oh yummy!” Gwen moaned and squirmed, arching her back slightly up from the floor of the tube as Kagae’s tongue drove her nuts.

He continued doing so until he was certain that Gwen was not only satisfied but sufficiently aroused for what came next.

He wiped Gwen’s wetness off his mouth with back of his hand, and lay down beside her as she caught her breath.

“I can’t believe you went down on me!” Gwen said, looking at him in awe.

“Glad I managed to surprise you” Kagae smiled.

“Where did you learn to do that?” Gwen asked, genuinely curious.

“Music class,” Kagae answered without hesitation.

Gwen turned to gawk at him in disbelief.

Was he being serious?

“What? Not a lot of people realize it, but there is a lot of tongue action that goes into making an instrument produce sweet music” Kagae said, before sporting a wry smirk, “don’t you agree?”

“Oh, God! You are so full of bullshit!” Gwen said in an unamused tone, but also couldn’t help but smile at his bad joke.

Gwen hugged him tightly against her, resting her chin on his shoulders while Kagae buried his face in her black hair…taking in a full whiff of that same wildflower perfume smell that her hair smelt like to his enhanced sense of smell.

“You ready to have sex with me?” Gwen asked him seductively.

“Oh yes…” Kagae answered eagerly, pulling back from their hugging to look at her face to face ” I am ready. Are you ready for me to have sex with you?”

“YES!” Gwen said, eyes flashing wide with equal excitement, sporting that beautiful smile of hers at him, “I am… Lay on your back and we’ll get started!”

Kagae did what he was told, while Gwen crawled over and onto him.

She straddled herself on top of Kagae’s midsection, she planned to have him enter her for the first time in the Cowgirl position.

She sat down upon his cock, but didn’t put it in her yet. She had decided to tease Kagae a bit more first.

Her soaking wet and hot pussy lips pressed down upon and rubbed against his throbbing and eager cock, which would soon be deep inside her.

Gwen then began to rock herself back and forth, rubbing her vulva lips against his cock in a suggestively teasing manner as a prelude to what she intended to do with him next.

She reveled in the sight of Kagae squirming beneath her, just aching to have that cock inside her as much as she did, she couldn’t wait to put it inside her…so she could watch him REALLY squirm beneath her when they finally became one.

As Gwen rubbed her pubes with his as she prepared to have Kagae enter her for the first time, Kagae suddenly had a pang of fear when he realized something he had forgotten about, something very important.

Gwen was about to start to get herself adjusted so she could put it in her when Kagae stopped her.

“Hold on a second!” Kagae said urgently.

“What’s wrong?” Gwen asked in surprise, “I thought you were ready”

“I am…but I’m a metahuman. You’ll get pregnant if we do it without protection.” Kagae explained his concern.

“I don’t need protection” Gwen assured him teasingly, “You can play in the rain with me without wearing rubbers.”

“But Gwen…” Kagae insisted.

“Kagae…I may look naked, but I’m still wearing my body suit” Gwen reminded him, giving him a stern look “Thanks to the Brain, and what he did to me, I can’t get pregnant, even if I wanted to…remember?”

Kagae winced upon seeing the sliver of sadness in Gwen’s eyes upon saying that.

“Right…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to remind you of the fact you can’t have children, I know that is a sore subject with you…” He apologized.

Gwen placed a finger against his lips to silence him.

“Hush….” She said to him, assuring him with her smile that she wasn’t offended.

She then lifted herself on one leg, resting one hand on his chest to balance herself while also positioning his cock against the entrance of her vagina with the fingers of her free hand.

Once she had placed it at against her vulva lips in the spot where her pussy’s entrance was located, Gwen slowly lowered herself back down. This caused the head of Kagae’s penis to push against her slit.

There was a moment of resistance, and then her opening gave way, and the head of his cock slipped inside and penetrated her.

“Oh my…!”, she exclaimed in a mixture of shock and pleasurable delight, then continued lowering herself down onto his shaft until she had him between her legs once again.

This time with his penis inside her vagina instead of being pinned underneath it.

A surge of sexual pleasure shot through them both.

“Oh my god!” Kagae gasped and moaned, shutting his eyes, and grabbing Gwen by her hips.

“Oh my god!” Gwen gasped and moaned, shutting her eyes as well.

Kagae opened his eyes a second later and looked up at Gwen in disbelief and awe.

She was looking down at him with both her hands now placed upon his chest to support herself.

She had a similar look of shocked disbelief and awe on her face, as if she too couldn’t believe what they had just done.

This was soon replaced with a grin of lustful excitement and a look of adoring admiration towards Kagae.

Her beautifully hypnotic emerald eyes were filled with love and desire.

For a moment, Kagae saw the young spunky girl Gwen had once been as a child appear before his eyes…before the beautiful plucky woman she had become took her place once more.

His eyes wandered down to see the spot where he and Gwen had connected.

His eyes confirmed that he had indeed entered her right between her legs and his cock now fully occupied Gwen’s birth canal…and the feeling of the tight, wet, fleshy folds of that same pussy squeezing him in its warm, slippery embrace made him groan loudly.

Gwen smirked upon hearing him groan, biting her lip as she also looked down at the spot their bodies connected, reveling in the feeling of now having her childhood friend deep inside of her.

It felt good, what’s more…it felt right!

She could stay like this with him forever, it was a perfect feeling, a perfect moment, and ten times better than the magic bubble bath-induced fantasy she had of him back in Dubai.

“Does It feel good to finally be inside me?” she asked him.

She had asked this question many times before, and always with masked insincerity or indifference to the response over the years.

Kagae was the first man in her lonely life that she had truly wanted to be in bed with.

So, while she was glad to see clear and unmistakable signs that he seemed to be visually enjoying her most intimate regions as much as she was enjoying his.

She still wanted to hear him say how much he enjoyed finally having her.

“You have no idea!” Shadow Knight said in complete euphoria, “You feel so good, Gwen!”

“Ohhhh…So do you!” Gwen sighed, closing her eyes as a ripple of pleasure surged through her crotch and up her spine “God…your cock feels so incredible in my pussy!”

She hummed contently as she opened her eyes to look down at him.

For a moment they stayed that way, bodies entwined in the cowgirl position, and smiling while looking deeply into one another’s eyes.

Gwen chuckled coyly at him, breaking their mutual trance.

“Well…are you going to fuck me?” she asked him seductively, sitting there like a cowgirl on her saddle, before leaning forward until she was towering over him with her arms “or am I going to be doing all the work?”.

“We’re partners remember. We will do this as we’ve always done things…as a team. A team of two.” he said to her with that smile of his that she loved.

“Hmm…I like the sound of that. We’ve always worked so well as a team. So… Kagae… now that we have agreed to do so and are now working as… closely together… as we possibly can, I have a request.” Gwen said with excitement, smacking her lips as she gave him an inquisitive look.

“What did you have in mind?” Kagae asked playfully.

“The Cowgirl position is fine for a start, and I would enjoy riding you, but… I’d rather like it if we do this in the missionary position. That’s always been my favorite.”

“As you wish” Shadow Knight conceded.

Gwen smirked, “That’s not all.”

“There’s more?” Kagae asked playfully.

” You still owe me for saving your ass from The Shogun, so to show me your gratitude I want you to pleasure me in a way I’ve never been before. Show me what it’s like to be made love to by a real man and not how I’ve been merely fucked with by the scum I’ve seduced in my line of work. This is your mission Shadow Knight, do you accept?” Gwen asked him with

“I gladly choose to accept!” Kagae joked.

She smiled and then lowered herself down onto her lover until her chest was pressing down upon his.

She kissed Kagae deeply, while he wrapped his arms around her back and rolled her over onto her back while within his embrace so that he could begin making love to her in the missionary position as she had requested.

Placing her head gently against the pillow of animated darkness and miasmic energy he had manifested for her out of the semi-darkness of the enclosed healer tube.

Kagae then propped himself up on his elbows and after looking into Gwen’s eyes, started moving his hips, slowly pumping his penis in and out of her body until he had established a comfortable rhythm going forward, while Gwen writhed and squirmed beneath him.

Paying attention to Gwen’s voice and her body language as he made love to her for the first time.

Gwen gasped and moaned each time he entered and exited her.

Her breasts bounced up and down with every thrust.

Her face changing between a look of aroused adoration towards him, to a look of surprised and blissful ecstasy as he moved inside her.

Gwen started to become very vocal about how good he was making her feel.

“Ah yes! Mmmm…” Gwen gasped and moaned, biting her lower lip “Oooh…just like that…mnnh…Ahhh… Oh WOW, you are good! I can’t believe it! How? I cant believe this, I’m usually the one making the men squirm, not them making me squirm! Your paying attention to me, my body’s responses…I didn’t think you would be this good. How are you this good?”

kagae answered her, keeping his pace and paying attention to her responses while doing so “A few weeks before the first Ninjazon incident when I was setting up shop in Lunar City. I saved an escort service from being burned to the ground by racist rednecks because one of the girls stabbed one of them with a knife when he tried to cut her hair off. The grateful madame, Madame Rogue, ended up offering her and her girl’s services to my Agent network to extract information on underworld activity from her loose-lipped criminal customers…in exchange for money, protection…and a better life for her girls that my money and resources could provide…even a new life if they wanted out. Madame Rogue taught me how to please and satisfy a woman. Something I needed to learn to maintain my cover as Kagae Kishi, philanthropist, playboy, and eligible bachelor…who would no doubt have many women interested in getting to know him… especially in bed.”

Gwen’s eyes looked down at the sight of Kagae’s penis moving in and out of her, The long ridged shaft coated and glazed like a donut with her wetness coming out halfway before plunging foreword and disappearing back into her pussy. Her walls gripping his cock tightly, she felt every stroke. She bit her lower lip as she reveled in the pleasurable sensations it was causing her to feel.

She looked back at him with intrigued eyes “So this isn’t your first time inside of a woman? I should have known; you sure don’t fuck like a virgin.”

“Are you disappointed?” Kagae asked with worry on his face.

“That I’m not your first?” Gwen asked him, shaking her head “No I’m not. But I am curious…how many other women ended up in this position with you before you finally ended up in it with me?”

“You are number seven…out of six failed relationships,” Kagae said bitterly, looking down at her stomach in reflection, before suddenly stopping his thrusting entirely to look at her shocked face with apprehension upon realizing what he had said, how he had said it, and what it implied regarding Gwen.

He shouldn’t have said that.

He knew he shouldn’t have said that.

“I’m number seven out of six failed relationships?” she asked him astonished, gawking in disbelief upon hearing him say that about her.

“I didn’t mean it that way” Kagae shook his head apologetically, “I didn’t mean to insult you. What I meant was you’re the only one who truly loved me and not…oh god, I’m an idiot! Here I am within the intimate embrace of the most beautiful woman on the planet, and I still screw things up.”

He hung his head in shame.

Gwen indeed had been offended by what he had said, his bitter tone having put his words out of context…but upon hearing him say that she was the only one of the six other women to have truly loved him, she realized what he meant to say was that she was the only woman he had slept with who truly mattered to him.

Gwen had seen his sadness and regret upon unintentionally insulting her, this caused her to put a comforting finger under his chin to bring his eyes back to her own.

“Kagae…you haven’t ruined anything,” she said soothingly, assuring him that she hadn’t taken offence “I’m not offended. But…what did you mean by six Failed relationships?”

Kagae sighed and looked away from her inquisitive gaze.

“When Raven died, I felt like I had lost the love of my life, and for a long time, I dared not try and love again. Eventually, I decided that Raven wouldn’t have wanted that for me, so I tried to find another like her. I tried the dating game, high society and Lower. It didn’t matter to me what their status was in society’s eyes, I just wanted a friend…a companion to make the days as Kagae Kishi, billionaire bachelor, and the nights as Shadow Knight, vigilante defender… less lonely. but they never went anywhere serious…ships that passed in the night, and worse.”

“Worse?” Gwen wondered.

“Out of the many dates I went on, there were only six women that I ultimately ended up in the bedroom with. They were beautiful, like you, and I treated them like a queen in the sheets…but they all turned out come the following morning to be…total disappointments” Kagae answered her with an unimpressed look on his face as he reluctantly recalled his failed dating life, “They were the kind of women that give women in general a bad name. They were either gold diggers who wanted my money, thieves who saw an easy mark, they saw me as someone they could use to get back at their cheating spouse with, their last chance to try and have straight sex before going to Hawaii with their girlfriend for their wedding or they wanted something to brag about to their friends on their IPhone, Instagram or to any interested celebrity gossip column…the YouTube blog freak who only dated me to get followers on her channel, she was the worst one! She seemed like a good person, but instead, she turned out to be a social media clone of Beatrice Fuller! I wouldn’t be surprised if she idolized that dreadful woman! She pretended to have feelings for me and seduced me into having sex with her all so that she would get tons more likes for her channel with a ‘spicy love story video’ than from any of her other videos. That sex tape she made with her glasses hidden spy camera, it took me a year to deal with the fallout of that, she even dared to say I was overreacting with the lawsuit, claiming that she had made me immortal by posting that video onto the net and that I should be grateful instead of acting like another rich bastard that no one cares about who got caught with his pants down!”

“Ouch…” Gwen winced sympathetically “Well…on behalf of my gender, I’d like to apologize.”

“Not accepted,” Kagae said quickly.

“I don’t blame you” Gwen acknowledged this; she would have felt the same way “I’ve met and been in bed with some real pieces of work as well…men and women. I know how bad and wretched both sexes can be. What about the women you didn’t sleep with? Surely you had some good dates?”

“A few…But those few other women that I didn’t end up sleeping with, those dates didn’t work out either. I either couldn’t arrive on time for our date because of Shadow Knight business, they canceled instead because I was ‘too high profile’, they believed I was secretly gay, or they found me too nice and something about me creeped them out, or their boyfriends had asked for them back…and the rest I don’t want to talk about.” Kagae reminisced bitterly “Eventually I ultimately stopped trying the dating game entirely right after our falling out in Dubai. I just didn’t see any point to having sex with or going on a date with any woman… if I could never have real friendship, love, and admiration as part of the package.”

“Oh, Kagae…I’m sorry. So that’s why you went berserk in Dubai!” Gwen said sympathetically, placing her hand on his face with a sad look on her face, “You thought you had finally found a companion in me, only to have me throw it back in your face. I didn’t mean…”

“It’s okay Gwen. We’ve both moved on from that night. That night, those other women, none of it matters now. All that matters…is that I’m here, with you, and we are together at last!” Kagae said to her warmly, placing his hand on her right cheek lovingly.

Gwen smiled back, holding his hand that touched her cheek with her own, she felt like she was about to cry.

Seeing her like that, Kagae’s heart and mind suddenly remembered what he was doing now that the tender moment between them had passed. That he was alone with and was balls deep inside the most beautiful woman in the world. His desire to fuck Gwen, to make her feel how much he loved her had returned with a passion!

He then resumed thrusting his cock in and out of Gwen.

“AH! Oh…god that’s good! Its…mmmhh…whooooo…Ahhhh… Mmmmm…oh…those women were idiots to treat you that way! So was I. If I had known you were indeed single and were THIS good in the sack, I would have let you do this to me on that hotel bed back in Dubai!” she grinned lustfully.

She shut her eyes and threw her head backward, letting out a lustful moan before returning her lusting gaze toward him.

“You’re not an idiot” Kagae insisted, “You’re the smartest woman I know.”

“That’s sweet of you to say. I am also the…ohhhhh…luckiest girl in the world right now! Oh, my goodness! Mmmm…” Gwen moaned, and then flashed him a sly look “You said it yourself, I’m Lucky number seven. Face it, Tiger, you just hit the jackpot tonight!”

“we both did, Gwen. We both did.” Kagae smiled at her.

Gwen smiled back up at Kagae, looking deeply into his glowing red eyes as she did.

The purple light of the healer tube highlighted her beautiful smile and her emerald eyes before him, while also making her body sparkle before his eyes like the stars in the night sky itself.

He couldn’t imagine a more heavenly beautiful woman to be bathed in such a light before his eyes while lying beneath him.

She looked up at him with an expression of awed wonder at how good he was making her feel, her voice crying out in pleasure each time he thrust into her.

Gwen wrapped and locked her legs around Kagae’s back, then began pushing her hips in rhythm against Kagae’s own, increasing the friction building up between the two lovers.

She also wrapped her arms around the back of Kagae’s neck, pulled him down to her lips, and they kissed deeply and passionately.

With his free left hand, Kagae caressed Gwen’s left breast.

Gently squeezing it in the manner he had been taught to further drive her into an erotic frenzy than she already was.

He then broke his lips from Gwen’s to kiss her on the side of her neck.

Gwen in turn stroked his face between kisses and fondled his back with her hands, Kagae returned the favor and began stroking and fondling her body.

They switched back and forth between hugging, deep kisses, and feeling one another as they continued to make love…feverishly!

Salty sweaty perspiration covered and dripped from their bodies and the vapor of their lovemaking began to line the inner surface of the glass tube with condensation, making it look like the windows of a glass steam room…or a car window without the defrost.

Even if the shutters were open, no one would have been able to see what was going on inside the tube.

Kagae had noticed that Gwen’s vagina was starting to twitch, squeeze, and ‘suck’ on his penis as he thrust in and out vigorously inside her.

It was massaging him, milking him like a cow, making him get closer and closer to releasing his load inside of Gwen with every pleasurable contraction.

Gwen’s breathing had gotten faster, her face was now flushed red…and she was sporting that familiar pre-orgasmic look that Kagae had seen before on many other women’s faces, now it was Gwen who had that face.

Shaking her head back and forth as those familiar jolts of pleasure began to build themselves into a powerful thunderstorm inside her body.

“Ahh…Kagae I’m…I’m gonna…your gonna… make me…!” Gwen moaned out between gasping breaths.

He realized that she was about to have an orgasm, and so was he, but he was also about to pop his cork inside her before she could even have her first with him.

He was a gentleman at heart, so of course here at the climax of their sex…he wanted her to go first.

He tried to pull out to begin fingering Gwen again to make her cum before he could, and he planned on re-entering her soon afterward to finish himself in her.

But Gwen’s legs wouldn’t release him.

“Gwen let go!” Kagae demanded.

“OH NO!” Gwen said lustfully, shaking her head in playful defiance “You’re not pulling your sword out THAT easily! AHHHH!”

“Gwen, I’m about to…” Kagae struggled to speak, now gasping, and moaning like Gwen was.

“It’s okay, I want you to! I want to feel you cum inside me…AAAAHHHH! Make me yours Kagae! Make me cum…and cum inside me!” Gwen pleaded, almost screaming it.

“Gwen.” Kagae panted, his pleasure increasing to dangerous levels.

“Kagae?” Gwen panted and moaned.

“I love you!” Kagae gasped.

“I love you too!” Gwen moaned.

That did it.

Kagae yelled and groaned in pleasure, as he felt himself explode and release his stored-up essence into Gwen’s womb.

Gwen screamed and moaned in pleasurable agony as her orgasm hit her like a freight train, her voice of sexual release bellowing louder than Kagae’s.

She felt familiar ribbons of warm fluid spewing out and filling up deep inside her, and for once in her life as a promiscuous seductress, she fully enjoyed it.

They held one another tightly as they rode out their orgasms together.

Looking into one another’s eyes and seeing their feelings returned in full measure!

The pleasurable climax passed.

The two of them lay there, panting heavily in each other’s arms as they recovered from the sex they had just endured.

Too exhausted to move except to hug, and to nibble little kisses at each other when they could.

After what felt like an eternity, Gwen reluctantly but tiredly released her legs from around Kagae and Kagae reluctantly rolled off her, slipping his semi-hard cock out of her.

Both lay there on their backs beside each other looking up at the circular ceiling of the healer tube in a daze.

Once her breathing had calmed, Gwen reached down with her fingers to feel her wetness and the semen Kagae had ejaculated into her that was now dripping out from inside her.

She couldn’t believe what she had just done.

She had just had sex with her childhood friend.

She had never felt so happy.

She then looked aside to Kagae who had his eyes closed, trying to catch his breath.

She smiled at him happily.

“I found him Mom…” Gwen said in her mind, as she felt Kagae’s seed drip out from within her “I found the one you told me to find…the one man who is precious to me, and who treats me right… as both a woman and his equal.”

She adjusted herself so that she was lying down on her side and placed her head against her right hand as she rested on her right elbow while she looked at Kagae, who now was looking up and across at her.

She rubbed his chest playfully with her free hand.

“You, okay?” she asked him, “I didn’t break you, did I? Sometimes I’m too much to handle. A slayer of men in the sheets.”

“Ha! Ha! Ha! No Gwen…I think I handled you just fine if your heartbeat is anything to go by” Kagae smirked smugly.

“You can hear my heart?” Gwen asked intrigued, “What does it say?”

“That you can’t believe we did this, and HELL YES! WE FINALLY DID IT!” Kagae answered, giving her an aside glance “That about, right?”

Gwen smiled, “Can you blame it? Mmmmmm…You hit all the right buttons and beat the high score!”

“So…we did it. I still can’t believe it. We did it. We had sex…with each other” Kagae said, in reflection.

“Yep,” Gwen sighed happily, “I can’t believe it either.”

“Do you still feel like this was a mistake? That we shouldn’t have done this? That it ruined our friendship like you feared?” Kagae asked her hopefully.

“No…not at all. It felt right…it was wonderful, and I’ve never felt closer to you than I do now Kagae. Our friendship has changed, but I would say it has changed for the better” Gwen sighed before humming happily, “do you regret it?”

“Never. A mistake would never have been felt or would feel this right. I’ve never felt so content in my life than I do being in this chamber with you…right now.” Kagae answered her, holding her hand.

Gwen smiled.

She laid herself onto her back to stare up at the ceiling of the healing tube with Kagae.

She wished she could see the night sky, if it was nighttime outside the shuttered tube, but for now, the twinkling drops of condensation that were illuminated by the blacklight-like light of the healer tube would have to suffice.

They looked like and glittered in the purple light like diamond dust.

“So… what’s next for you?” Kagae asked her.

“A bath. A nice relaxing warm mineral soak and a good night’s rest sleeping in a bed with sheets…” Gwen said with longing, embracing herself in her arms comically before growing somberly reflecting, “Then back to whatever mission SLEET needs to send me on to defend world security that is being threatened by agents of FEIND or some supervillain again…all alone. You?”

“A Full Moon burger, fries, and a large coke…” Kagae began.

Gwen chuckled upon hearing that.

“…then a shower, and then…back to patrolling the city and solving crimes as Shadow Knight again. Alone.”

The two stayed silent for a while.

“SLEET could always use a few good men like you, you know?” Gwen suggested with hopeful eyes.

“Yes, they could” Shadow Knight agreed, but sighed in dismay “Unfortunately, so could Lunar City. I have a responsibility to that place…and its people.”

Gwen scoffed in disgust.

“A responsibility to the city and people of Lunar City? Are you kidding me? You know…I don’t know why you bother with that place Kagae” Gwen said cynically, “It has brought us and our loved ones nothing but pain and misery. There are much better cities to go play the superhero in than Lunar City.”

“I know there is. But it’s my home, Gwen, It’s where my family lives, where they’ve been buried, I can’t just walk away and leave it to burn itself to the ground. Not until I fix it and make it safe and great once more.” Kagae answered.

“Kagae” Gwen sighed sadly, “That city is probably beyond even your power to be saved from itself. You can’t save those who can’t even try and save themselves…or won’t even try to save themselves because it’s who they are. It’s a city of corruption and death. It’s full of entitled wretches, thugs, corrupt police, cowards, and wealthy or impoverished fools all dancing on a powder keg that someone like this ‘Mastermind’ guy you’re currently chasing is like a lit match just waiting to drop and blow the whole place wide open into chaos and death. Do you think it’s just the criminals who are the problem? The people are just as responsible for the state of the city. You’ve saved the city more than once; they still hate you and blame you for the city’s problems. Why do you bother with that place when you can use your talents elsewhere like you did here with The Shogun? You want to make a difference, you can’t in Lunar, but you can make a difference in the world right here…in SLEET…with me.”

She held him by his right hand, looking over at him with a pleading look…but then she sighed sadly when she realized she knew what his answer would be “But you can’t…because that’s not who you are…that’s not the boy who tried to help me and my mom, or the man I fell in love with. He doesn’t run from his problems or leave people to die when he can save them.”

“I know it doesn’t look like it from the outside, but I am making real progress. I know I can find a way to permanently fix what’s wrong with Lunar City, with my allies’ help it can be done. You could be one too. You could join my crusade, fight by my side, just like you did when we were younger against The Brain.” Kagae suggested with a hopeful tone.

Gwen sighed sadly, “I wish I could, but I also have a responsibility I can’t turn away from because there is no one else who will do the job. I love you and I want to be with you…but I can’t ignore the fact that I’m just not a good fit for you and your bloody heroic crusade. I’m not a hero Kagae, and I don’t want to be. I’m an assassin and a spy, I’ve saved the world, but I can’t say that I’ve done it for the world…as much as I wish I could. I’m a killer. I have killed innocent people, and I’ll never be able to atone for that because Deception, killing, and manipulation are part of who I am, and Lunar City has more than enough problems without adding someone like me to the mix. A living weapon.” Gwen answered sadly.

“Stop it, Gwen!” Kagae said to her, “Stop selling yourself short. You are better than you think you are. I’ve seen and fought killing machines like what you think you are, you are nothing like them. You have a heart. The heart of a hero. I’ve seen it!”

“You’d like for that to be true,” Gwen said cynically, “But you’ll never see my face up on the wall of honor in the Heroes Legion mansion.”

“I’d rather see your face at home, every day for the rest of my life,” Kagae said to her wistfully, stroking her cheek affectionately.

Gwen looked into his longing eyes.

“I wish I could come home to live in your castle like in a fairy tale Kagae…” Gwen said sadly, “But this isn’t a fairy tale, and I stopped believing in fairy tale endings when the brain hollowed me out and filled me back up with…all of this.”

“You’ve said you love me. More than once.” Kagae pointed out, “Do you mean it?”

“Yes. I do love you Kagae. But as I told you before we did this, we live in a world that keeps people like us apart. We’re not completely compatible. You can’t commit to working full-time for SLEET over Lunar City, and I can’t put my faith in defending a city that wrecked me just as badly as it did you. You have your world, and I have mine. Our paths may cross, but they will never walk alongside each other. What did you think? That the two of us finally having sex meant I’d be staying with you at the family manor? That you would see me walking down the aisle in a white dress? You and I will always be friends, Kagae. Friends with benefits perhaps, but we can’t ever be together the way we want to be no matter how much we want it. That’s not how the world works. You don’t deserve someone like me as a wife, and Kairi deserves a mother…and that’s something I can never be for either of you. You understand, don’t you?”

“I do understand, and I do need a wife and Kairi needs a mother” Kagae nodded, “but I don’t want anyone else, I want it to be you.”

Gwen fought back her tears and looked away sadly “The heart always wants what it can’t have Kagae. We should both be grateful for what we do have…and not want anything more…otherwise we’ll both be disappointed in each other.” she said ruefully.

Kagae was indeed disappointed by Gwen’s cold feet after the intense lovemaking they had just performed with one another that had lined the inside of this healing tube with perspiration to match the sweat of their bodies.

But even he couldn’t find fault with Gwen’s logic.

He hated to admit it.

She was right.

They truly loved each other but both belonged in two separate worlds and had unavoidable circumstances which ultimately kept them from being together…just like Princess Kaguya and the Emperor of Japan.

Even if they both wanted to, they could never become husband and wife.

They were perfect for each other, but they were not a perfect fit for the worlds they worked in and the lives they lead.

Kagae sighed sadly, “So even after…all of this…we end up saying goodbye to one another and go our separate ways come the next morning light?”

“Yes. But it’s not like it’s going to be like forever. We’re like peanut butter and Jelly, remember?” Gwen reminded him, kissing him on the cheek “We may work in different worlds, and we can never be together as much as we want to be… but we are never apart, not really. Someone I know once told me ‘We will always be a part of one another even when we are apart’ when I was feeling so very alone. You know who told me that?”

“No, who told you that?” Kagae asked her.

“You did” Gwen smiled, “when we both thought we were never going to see each other again before your father told my mother we could live in the mansion with you and your family after leaving my abusive stepfamily.”

“You remembered that?” Kagae asked astonished.

Gwen nodded happily.

“It’s one of my best memories of you” Gwen bumped her head affectionately against Kagae’s, “So even though we aren’t together, we always will be so long as we remember each other.”

Kagae smiled and brushed her cheek lovingly.

“Besides…” Gwen admitted, holding his hand against her cheek while looking at Kagae knowingly “I have three weeks of much-needed vacation time coming my way…and I plan to spend them whatever way I want…with whomever I want.”

“I’ll be looking forward to that,” Kagae said, “How do I find you?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll find you.” Gwen assured him.

“I love you Gwen” Kagae smiled.

“I love you too, Kagae” Gwen smiled back, she leaned over to kiss him again, but then she winced in pain and started to rub her chest area soothingly.

“Are you okay?” Kagae asked her with concern.

“Yeah…” she assured him, “I’m just still a little sore right here where that bastard stuck me with his needle glove.”

“I’m sorry you got infected,” Kagae said apologetically to her, “I swear I won’t be that careless with your safety or the safety of anyone else I care for, never again!”

“It’s okay, it wasn’t your fault.” Gwen said, stroking his snowy white hair affectionately “You saved me, I saved you…we’re even.”

“No, we’re not even. Not yet” Kagae shook his head.

“Excuse me?” Gwen asked, wrinkling her brow at him in confusion.

“You told me to pay you back for saving my life by making love to you. By my recollection…you have saved me more than once during this adventure, including back in Dubai back when this case first began” Kagae said with a knowing look, “So I still owe you.”

Gwen blinked in surprise and then chuckled at what she saw as Kagae being cheeky…always the joker.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to pay me back right away, that was payment enough for now.” Gwen assured him.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to pay you back in full? Because I can.” Kagae asked impishly.

“What did you say?” Gwen asked in surprised confusion.

“I mean I could go at it with you again if you want to. Do you?” Kagae clarified his intentions.

“You’re joking,” Gwen said incredulously.

It had barely been ten minutes since they had made love.

No man ever recovered in bed that quickly, at least no man she had been in bed with.

“Does it look like I’m joking?” Kagae asked her with a sly smile.

Gwen then saw Kagae’s formally loose member stiffen and harden swiftly until it was pushing straight up and ready to go again… She was astonished by this development.

“How…How are you able to be able to ‘get up go’ again so quickly?” she said in amazement.

“I’m a metahuman Gwen” Kagae reminded her, “I’m enhanced in many ways, I recover fast, I actually could do this with you two more times before tiring out tonight…maybe even more.”

“More?” Gwen asked astonished, as Kagae leaned in closer to her and finding her arousal rapidly returning to her as he did so, she gulped “How many is… more?”

“Six times more, maybe.” Kagae said without hesitation or breaking contact with her eyes.

“Six?!” Gwen exclaimed in disbelief, and shivered with anticipation of possibly experiencing THAT kind of sex six more times tonight with Kagae, “are you sure?”

“Yes,” Kagae nodded.

“Oh my!” Gwen declared breathlessly.

“Do you want to find out?” Kagae asked her coyly with a smile to match.

“GOD! YES!” Gwen declared huskily, grabbing his face, and kissing him deeply before pulling herself up until she was lying on top of him.

Giggling like a girl in high school as she and Kagae began to make love again.

The control room of the healer tube was darkened and abandoned for the night…but it was not empty.

The microphone that had caught their fake lovemaking that had emptied the room and had captured their real lovemaking as well…had been switched on and left on.

A hand appeared… one that had not been visible a moment before.

A gloved hand belonging to The Chameleon flicked the microphone switch to off, and he smiled happily at the sight of the enclosed healing tube that held the two heroes inside it…having heard every word of their pillow talk upon entering the room in adaptive camouflage mode.

He smiled at the enclosed tank that held the two lovers inside it.

He figured this would happen.

He respected their privacy, but even he couldn’t help but feel curious about Shadow Knight and Spectress’s real state inside the tube, so he had returned to find out for sure…and after hearing what had been spoken between them, he was elated to know those two were indeed actually making love inside that machine.

It was so important that they did.

Gwen believed that despite her strong love for her childhood friend, she and the shadow knight could never be more than friends with benefits, that she would be an unfit wife and mother…if only she knew what the future held.

He reached into his coat and pulled out his IPhone from the future and looked at one of his photos…particularly one that showed him standing beside an older Spectress, who happily had her left arm draped over him and a younger white-haired teenage boy who stood beside him.

While Spectress had her other arm draped over the shoulders of a teenage goth girl who bore more than a familiar resemblance to either her or Kagae, and beside her stood a much older Kairi Kishi.

It was a photo…of his family.

They were all smiling at the camera, it was one of his favorite photos…it had been taken at the Heroes Legion mansion during his birthday and it had been the one he had been constantly checking when he arrived here in the present time after escaping that Shogun Red Sun virus controlled future that the Time Breakers had caused when they brought that virus back in time and gave it to The Shogun for their plans to disrupt the time continuum.

The Time Breakers.

A secret society of time traveling superpowered elitists who saw time and history as their birthright to do as they wished with.

They had been bouncing around through the timestream, creating numerous nightmare alternative timelines, and he had been trying like crazy to rectify each one of them.

He had no idea what they were planning, or what he, his wife Circe, and their allies in time known as the Timekeepers could do to ultimately stop them.

All he knew was that as long as this family photo of the future remained unchanged, then there was still hope for the future.

And so long as Shadow Knight and Spectress continued down the path they had just chosen together; he would still have a family to go home to.

Chameleon shifted and became ‘invisible’ again…and the room became empty again.

The only thing that entered the room from that point on were the rays of morning sunlight.

It was going to be a beautiful day.

A day of new beginnings for everyone, especially for the Shadow Knight and Spectress.

THE END.
