Francy's p.o.v

He had driven to the devil's den and I walked in there, knowing this was one fight I was ready to win. There was not going to be an understanding on my side. I was not going to calm down and rationally talk. Not today. Not after I was provoked like this.

I pressed the pin code on the door and then slammed the door shut behind me, knowing damn well he was few steps behind me.

The house was completely silent.

He got in and closed the door behind him. In a calm manner, he kicked off his shoes and ambled slowly in the living room.

He tossed the keys aimlessly on the couch letting out a long irritated sigh.

I was just waiting for him to start. Go on. Start it.

He finally broke the silence. "You want to tell me what the fuck happened? How long have you known about it and why didn't you say anything?"

I took a slow step towards him. "Are you questioning me right now? Cause I should be playing cops here. What have you been doing that led her on like this? Hm? Do you let her hug you like that all the time?"

He was still glaring at me.

I narrowed my eyes glaring back at him. "Going to her house, playing besties with her and not once noticing she might have feelings for you?"

He threw his hands in the air baffled. "How would I know Francy? No, she did not hug me all the time or confessed her feelings for me. She acted like a human being around me. No more, no less. Why would you even insinuate I would lead her on?"

I opened my mouth to argue, but he cut me off. "And if you knew, why didn't you say anything about it?"

Explaining to him that I did it for him, and so Halo doesn't quit the competition, would be futile right now, considering what I did today. I changed the subject back to the point.

"How dare you let her hug you like that and tell me you had not even the slightest clue she might like you?!"

He was silent for a second.

"Oh, so it had crossed your mind." 

Of course, that thought might have lingered at the back of his mind. Anger seeped through me.  I took a step closer poking his chest. "I had to listen to her ramble on, how she understands you, how she knows your past, how you two are so much more compatible than me."

He was silent and then like a lightning flash, he crossed his arms. "What about you and Tim? Since when are you two so close, that he calls you randomly on the phone just to talk to you? I was not even aware you two were close friends."

I raised my hand to stop him right there. "Tim did not tell you to your face he thinks I can do better."

He paused and then added, "Well, he didn't have to when you stabbed me in the back willingly.!"

I felt the arrow right through my chest. He always did his when he knew he was wrong. Always so quick to shift the blame on me. But I knew him too damn well now.

"Are you gonna shift the blame on me now? Like you always do?"

He clenched his fist. "Are you going to be overdramatic and twist the facts when you want to win a fight?"

"Don't you make this about me, when it's your pretty mouth and fancy hacking words that got you in this mess in the first place?"

We glared at each other so intensely, I was sure this house was going to catch fire. I turned around and stomped away before I said any more nasty things I didn't mean.

He grabbed my wrist.

"Don't touch me." I struggled to take my hand out of his grip.

He yanked me close to his body and slammed his lips on mine.

No! He will not win this fight like this...... I struggled to get out of his grip, and he suddenly slammed my back on a wall, his mouth roughly locked on mine.

It was hot-blooded, unvirginal, and overpowering. My weak will got the best of me. I stopped fighting and kissed him back with even more savagery than I knew I had in me.

When he let go of my wrists, I dug my fingers in his shoulders and ran my fingers up until they were tangled in his hair.

He grabbed my ass and I instinctively jumped and wrapped my legs around him.

The wall was cold against my back.

His lips grazed my neck in a ravenous way. "Do you really think I want another girl like this?" He spoke and met my eyes. "Do you think another one turns me on this way?"

I looked down at his lips. "Do you think I'd let anyone else touch me if it's not you?"

He triumphantly kissed me and carried me upstairs, brutally throwing me on his bed and then climbing on top of me.

His kisses were impetuous but so pleasurable.

His hand went over my chest, while leaving wet kisses over my neck.

I could feel him on my thigh, rising and throbbing, and I ran my fingers inside his shirt slightly pulling it up.

He was losing his sanity next to my ear.

I traced my hands up and caught his face kissing him again with desperation. "You always do this to me. " I whispered over his lips. "You know I'm weak when you touch me."

He suddenly broke the kiss and saddled me. His eyes were staring at me, loving but cautious. He was breathing hard through his words.

"Did you really think I'd do anything with Halo on purpose? Or lead her on?"

I stared back at him. The fire in my heart started calming down. "No." I rose on my elbows. "I was just really angry when I saw her hugging you."

He let out a sigh and rested his hands over his knees. "How long have you known?" He asked.

"From the last time I was here. She made a pretty obvious declaration of war."

He rubbed the part between his eyes, nervously. "I should have been more cautious."

I nudged myself off a pillow to get up to face him. "You should have." I looked away."And you crossed some lines now with what you said to me."

He wrapped his arms around my neck so I could face him. "I did. I'm sorry. I also crossed some lines about Tim. I'm sorry I hurt you and for saying things I knew would get to you."

There was an apologetic look on his face, but he also had something else to say.

"What?" I asked.

"That said, I don't like that you talked to Tim on the phone and that I didn't know you had some guy friend I haven't met and you never even mentioned you were friends with."

I was gonna argue, but he pressed a finger on my lips. "It bothers me too. I don't mind you having guy friends, but when we start university and we both meet new people, it's important we tell each other so the trust doesn't waver. Okay? I don't want to be up at 1 am in the morning thinking if some guy tried to get past the friendzone."

I nodded and he removed his finger.

"I'm sorry." He repeated.

"I'm sorry," I said it too.

He stared at me at lost, unsure if we were really fine or not.

I took his hand, placing it on my chest. "Kiss me. Show me how regretful you are, and I'll repent too."

His fingers were hot over my skin, as he slowly pressed me further down on the bed and then stained my lips with a slow, deep, and blatantly possessive kiss.

My lips moved in his tempo. My breathing matched his.

His body was pressed against my own again, and I could feel his heat even through his clothes as his hand gradually lowered to my waist, then back up, underneath my top.

His touch sent a jolt throughout my body and my skin felt burned by fire.

"babe." He spoke softly as he kissed my neck, his eyes half-closed. "I really need to make love to you right now."

His hand slid under my top, pushing my bra, and he cupped my breast, drawing an unexpected moan from me.

I opened my eyes looking at him and nodded. If there was something I was feeling right now it was complete devotion and need for this man.

Show me your mine, my eyes said.

Touch me like you touch nobody else, my body begged.

He pressed a wet kiss on my bare stomach. It sent a jolt that ignited a fire in me.

He looked up at me. "Do you trust me enough to undress you and let me have a look at all of you?"

I rose on my elbows and nodded trying to get the words out that have been on my chest. ."I want to make love to you too." I run my fingers through his hair.

He pressed another kiss on my stomach and then got off the bed going to the windows. He drew all the curtains until the light was completely dimmed.

A rush of nervousness caught me off guard. Oh god, this was really happening. My heart started thumping like crazy and the tips of my fingers felt cold and numb.

He got back to the bed and the moment his knee sunk into the mattress my whole body shivered unexpectedly.

He pressed a soft kiss over my lips. "It's okay. It's just me. It's just us two. Like always." He started landing soft kisses on my forehead, my nose..my cheeks. "Just close your eyes.."

I closed my eyes trying to relax.

"Let's make each other feel good." He pressed his lips on my neck and another moan escaped my lips.

I couldn't control those suckers anymore. My own body betraying me at a time like this.

He pushed me all the way down on the bed and fixed an arm underneath my neck.

"You know.." He touched the tip of my nose with his other finger. "I love you very much.." 

He leaned over to whisper on the other side of my ear. "And you're always going to be safe with me."

I brought my hand up tracing up and down his arm.

My throat dried and I was excited, but the nervousness died down. I was feeling very vulnerable but also comfortable.

His hands followed the length of my body from my neck..to my chest...to the end of my belly and he put his hand underneath my top , pushing the bra up and touching me. Skin on skin.

I opened my mouth unsure how to react and he pressed his lips on mine. The tips of his fingers felt rough on my skin every time he went over the sensitive parts.

He pulled his hand out and tugged my shirt up. I rose up slightly so he can take it off me.

It wasn't even a second, but his hands went behind my back and unhooked the bra. He slid the strap down from one side and watched my body with intense focus as he removed it.

The bra was tossed somewhere far and his hands were back on my body again. His eyes glanced up at me for a second a smirk on his lips.

The reaction drew a smile from me, he was such a tease.

Elric shifted a bit further down the bed, pulling away from the hand behind my neck letting my head fall on the pillow and he got on top of me.

There was nothing that could have prepared me for the feeling of his mouth on my sensitive peak.

It was extraordinary and wet and hot and very confusing, but I loved every second of it.

He explored the rest of my upper body tracing hot kisses all the way down. He tried taking my pants off, but the leather pants were stuck on my body.

I burst into soft laughter, covering my mouth.  He sighed in frustration. "A little help will be nice."

I tried tugging them down but it was no use. I knew the effort it took to get those leather pants on and the effort it was gonna take to get them off.

I stood up on the bed trying to tug them down my thighs. I somehow managed to get them down to the knees while laughing the whole time.

Elric nudged me to lie down and then started tugging until they were completely off. Once he had them off, he leaned back on his arms, breathing with exhaustion.

I wriggled on all fours and then sat in his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He stayed leaned back on his arms letting me do the work now.

I gave him a lengthy french kiss, pressing my body onto him. One of his hands got on my bare back, heat spreading on the place he touched.

He started lowering down until his back set into the bed and both his hands were on my back. I kept kissing him, my hair falling all over his face.

He suddenly spread his legs, my legs with his too as I saddled him. He moved so fast I had no time to think about his next moves.

One of his hands suddenly touched my stomach before sliding down in my underwear.

Touching me so intimately, felt intrusive but also gentle and incredibly satisfying. The kiss never broke.

With every stroke, I was left feeling warm and breathless.

He abruptly pressed me close to his chest and changed our positions. I was under him again and he wasted no time kissing my neck with a fiery passion.

The tip of his tongue went up to my neck. He placed a soft kiss over my ear, but the mere kissing sound was enough to send my body into a frenzy.

"Oh, you like that." His deep voice had the same effect. Indeed it seemed I liked it.

His finger started entering me, and all of a sudden I was aware of how tight I was. I grabbed his arm to stop.

"Relax baby. You're doing so good." He went a bit deeper.

My teeth sunk into my lower lip, my nails into his arm.

I looked down and the sight of what we were doing turned me on. His arm looked so manly over my body and he suddenly felt much bigger than me, more powerful, stronger. Maybe it was because he was dressed and I was at his mercy, but the feel of having a man over me like this, this man; felt incredible.

As he moved inside and out gently I started letting out sounds no matter how calm I tried to remain.

"Oh, you're so good. I love your reactions." He smiled over my lips and brushed them with mine.

He suddenly pulled his finger out and touched my thigh leaving a wet trail as he tried to tug my panties down.

I grabbed his arm, stopping him. "Your clothes first."

He smiled and rose up on his knees, reached behind his back, tugging the shirt over his head and biceps and then tossed it next to the bed.

"Jeans too." I reached for the button and unfasten it, leaving him to do the rest of this own.

After he was in his boxers I reached for my underwear. "Both at the same time. "

He nodded with a smile and at the same time we both got undressed. I had just a quick look before I was dragged under him again.

"You're driving me insane." He kissed my neck, his hands grabbing everything there was to touch and take pleasure in.

I smiled. "I'm enjoying this."

He chuckled, his breath tickling my neck. " I can see that."

He placed a kiss on the other side of my neck. "Want me to do something even more fun?"

I looked down at him. "Yes."

He slid further away from me and settled between my legs, grabbing my knees and spreading my legs apart.

I covered my eyes, but I was too curious about what was happening so I dragged them down to my mouth smothering any childish excitement.

He held my thighs, placing a soft kiss on one, and then he started flickering his tongue over my sensitive parts.

I gasped unsure what to make of the sensation.

He enjoyed my body, he took pleasure in loving every part of it and eliciting all kinds of reactions from me.

"You're good at this." I managed to say between taking a shaky breath.

He took my hands that were relaxed next to my body and intertwined our fingers. "Yeah?"

He did something with his tongue that made me flinch in pleasure. "Oh definitely."

His tongue suddenly traced up my belly and he was right back up over me.

"Should I try it now?" I asked, but he brought my hands over my head.

"No. I can't wait anymore. I want to slide in you."

The brazen way he put it, sounded so hot but I felt shame rush over me. I couldn't reply to that.

He let go of my arms and spread my legs. For a second he reached on the side next to the bed taking a condom out of his jeans and he ripped it open, putting it on.

I watched him do it with curiosity and excitement. He lowered his body over me again, sharing his heat and hugged me. I hugged him back, closing my eyes.

He settled between my legs, rubbing his intimate parts over me.

"Francy?" He spoke.

"Mmm?" I opened my eyes halfway.

"I love you." He reassured me.

I rubbed his back and smiled satisfied. "I know. Just get the bad part over with it. Like ripping a bandaid off."

He switched back into his devilish exterior and a wicked smile. "I'll just shove it in then.."

Damn, that sounded so hot.

He started putting it in, spreading me. It felt kind of uncomfortable. He groaned next to my ear and grabbed the pillow next to my head before shoving it all the way in.

I had let out a belated hurt sigh and then chuckled out of pain. That shit fucking hurt.

I felt ripped apart for a second and then completely put back together once I started getting used to the feeling of it.

He started moving in and out slowly and while it still hurt it started feeling better and better the more he kept going.

I hugged him and let him have all of me, thrust after thrust.  We were tousling through the sheets and turning, loving each other in different positions exchanging sighs and moans, passions and sweat, needs and desires.

I belong to him and he belonged to me. He was mine mentally and physically more than ever.

He showered my body with swift heartfelt kisses, and I retaliated with the intense romantic reciprocation.

I was tangled in his body for quite some time, losing track of how long we were making love. I had a whole blank space of moments where I couldn't remember how we moved from one position to another.

We were both sitting, and I was on his lap sharing a deep kiss.

"Are you close?" He whispered.

I unwrapped my hands around his neck and rested them on his chest. "I ...I ...don't think I can. I'm still in a bit of pain."

"Okay baby." He kissed the top of my nose.

Grabbing me, he suddenly sunk his fingers in the dip of my back thrusting as deep as he could inside me, and shuddered with despair and release.

He dropped me down on the bed and then slid out of me, laying down next to me in pure exhaustion.

I stretched and fixed a pillow underneath my head taking in deep relaxing breaths.

"Power out." He turned towards me laughing.

I just smiled closing my eyes. That was so so good..

...

Something tickling woke me up.. I was lazily laying on the bed, as Elric ran a finger up and down my back. I had my eyes half-closed before realized I had fallen asleep. I rubbed the corner of my eye and realized, the cover was down to my waist and I was completely naked.

I instantly covered myself to the top of my neck.

"I already saw everything." He pulled me closer and tried pulling the cover.

I wouldn't let go so he got his arms under the cover pulling me closer and started kissed my neck playfully. "You toss and turn a lot. I saw everything. Everything."

I burst into a scream of laughter and tried to nudge him off, but he just wouldn't budge, squeezing his arms around my waist even tighter.

"You can't say that to me, I'll get a heart attack." I eventually stopped struggling and let him press his naked body on top of mine again.

"You are absolutely beautiful and mine." He playfully nibbled on my neck, chin and then pulled my lips between his.

"How long was I out?" I asked and he just shrugged playfully.

"Oh come on." I begged but he wouldn't tell me.

Due to the darkness in the room, I couldn't tell how much time had passed.

He caressed my arm and stared at me lovingly.

"How was it for you?"

I bit my lower lip. Now that it was over, my bravery.. poof...it vanished. I looked down embarrassed.

"It was umm.. "

"Hm.." He nuzzled in my neck. "Did you like it?"

Did I..Did I like it? I freaking loved it. It was explosive. And wonderful. And magnificent.

"Mhmm." I managed to confirm and he just took whatever answer I gave him.

"Are you in pain?" He asked facing me again.

"It's a bit uncomfortable." I smiled. "And so are these questions. Can we move along.. ask me something else."

He laughed. "Do you want me to talk about the weather?"

"It was a really sunny day today." I encouraged him and he broke into a burst of manly laughter.

"Okay. I'll let this slide because you're embarrassed."

I pulled my tongue out. "How thoughtful of you."

He kissed me, shutting me up and then pulled away abruptly taking his phone that was on the nightstand. He flashed the screen at me and I squeezed my eyes shut, shielding them from the annoying light.

I blinked few times and suddenly I grabbed his hand, holding his hand still. It was 10 pm. We were together for hours and hours.

I tossed the covers off and rolled off the bed wincing at the pain. I searched for my clothing and started getting dressed.

"You don't have to rush. I'll drive you home."

"What if someone looks for me and they're like, let's go to Lucy's place and check.."

Elric smiled, completely relaxed. "Not after our fiasco show today, they won't."

Oh right.. the fight..

Wearing only my underwear I sat down on the bed and brushed Elric's hair back. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" He asked.

"I didn't want to tell you about Halo, one because I knew it might cause a riff and you'd lose your gamer for the competition and with it the chance to find the hacker. And two, I didn't want you thinking of her in that way."

He relaxed on the pillow, letting me play with his hair. "I can't believe that happened. I thought we were at least friends."

"I know baby. I really didn't want to let things unfold like this, but she crossed all the lines. I'm sorry it took you by surprise."

He took my hand and kissed it. "It's okay. She hugged me only once before and since she only did it with me It crossed my mind she might.. but I just didn't want to...I didn't want to believe it was true."

I nodded giving his hand a squeeze. "I know."

"I'll have to think it through now, and maybe talk with Ace to see how to proceed with this." He glanced up at me. "I'll leave it for few days. We have some time before the competition. But  I might have to go and talk to her."

I frowned. I didn't like that notion. But I knew it had to be done.

"Fine. But I don't like it one bit."

He wiggled my hand trying to elicit a smile from me. "I'll make it up to you I promise."

I smiled. "You better."

He smirked. "I know just the way."

I pulled my hand out. "Go on now. Get dressed and drive me home."

He listened obediently and got dressed. "You ever gonna learn to drive?"

"Nope." I said trying to get into the leather pants again. I gave him a cute smile. "I want my hot boyfriend to drive me around."

He laughed. "Ah. How unfair."

"Life's unfair." I did one last tug and got into the pants. "Let's go."

He wrapped an arm, around me as I passed by. "For you, I'll live with this injustice."

I tried to look normal or whatever that was. I had barely managed to fix what was left of the makeup and brush the tangled hair in an improvised ponytail in the car mirror.

When I got home, luckily there was no one present in the living room at the moment, so I rushed into my room and quickly hopped into the shower.

After I looked decent again in comfortable pants, I tried to find my phone to get Remi here asap. My excitement was getting the best of me and my hands were shaking. I had to talk to someone before I explode.

It was already pretty late, but considering it was summer, coming for a sleepover was going to be approved by her parents.

I finally found my phone, when someone on the door knocked.  I flinched for a second, trying to get into my role as virgin Francy.

"Come in." I answered innocently.

Ace opened the door and walked in.

"You sound okay."

My eyes widened. What did he mean by that? What did he know?

"Yes.. mm why you ask?" I casually leaned on my makeup stand.

He sat down on the armchair in my room, confused by my question. "Because you had a freaking huge argument with Lucy at the competition."

"Oh, that...right..." I laughed awkwardly once realizing I was overreacting as usual. . "Yeah, we're over that. We made peace." And love.

"Really? That easy?" He raised a brow.

I nodded. "Oh yes. We talked for hours and hours and resolved our issues."

He was not buying it. "You're not gonna say you forgive him and do something underhanded to him are you?

I waved my hand. "It's Halo I had a problem with and he didn't do anything either. Did you not notice anything?"

He tilted his head back on the armchair. "Hmm. I did start to think she might have a crush on him lately, but I did not think she would so boldly proclaim she likes him."

"You don't know the half of it." I briefly told him what happened before.

"Why didn't you say anything then?"

I crossed my arms. "You'd get awkward with her, or even ask her to leave, and what about the competition then? How will you win without a gamer?"

Ace nodded. "I see your point. What about now? What changed your mind?"

"I lost my sanity when I saw her hugging him. My anger got the best of me. Wouldn't you if you see some guy hugging Sole?"

He instantly got serious.

"Hurts, doesn't it?" I dropped my hands down and took my hairclip, playing around with it. "I don't regret what I did, but I feel guilty for not giving you guys a heads up to deal with the situation."

Ace rose from the chair and approached me. He ruffled my hair. "We'll figure it out. "

"You're not mad at me?" I asked.

"Nope." He smiled. "I'm mad at Halo for doing what she did, while pretending to be friends with us. That was a backstab for both me and Lucy."

I let out a long tired sigh. "I really hope you still get to do the competition and get revenge."

"Me too." He took the hair clip from my hands and started playing with it. "You've talked to Sole?"

He was looking down at the hair clip.

"I have." I answered.

"How's she?" He asked.

"Physically okay. Mentally not. She still can't paint."

His eyes locked on mine. "What do you mean she can't paint?"

"She um... can't focus," I answered carefully.

"Since when?" He asked.

"Since you two.." I brought my hands together with pinched fingers, making a kissy sound. "Kissed.

He tapped my hands until I dropped the act.

"It's been three weeks Ace. She can't let it go. Neither can you." I took the hair clip from his hands. "Make up your mind. Are you going to let this be a regret you'll have your whole life or actually go and talk to her. You were never this hesitant before. You wanted someone as your girlfriend, you went after her."

"I can't do that with Sole. " He got serious all of a sudden. " I don't want to hurt her anymore. Especially if she can't paint because of me."

"She hurts more like this." I sighed. "Didn't you talk to Elric? Did he give you some advice?"

"Don't even mention the bastard. He told me unless he woke up one day with a message that I went after her, he doesn't want to hear another word from me about her."

I smiled proudly. "He did great. Take that advice and go after her."

He looked aside embarrassed. "I can't just show up out of nowhere. How will I even know where she is?"

I brought my hand upon my ear. "You'll call me when you're on your way, Hi Francy, can you call Sole and see if she's in the house? And I'll check for you where she is."

He took a step back with a smile on his face. "That's not such a bad idea."

I winked. "Of course. I got you."

He put his hands in his pockets and took another step backward. "This umm.. was a great talk. I got to go plan some things out. Bye."

He rushed out of the room and I gave myself a pat on the back.

Good job Francy. You're on a roll today.

Bonus scene:

An hour later, Remi was on my bed, listening to my story.

"And then we got home. I was angry. He was angry too for other reasons. But we both had this tension between us."

Remi laid down on the bed in a more comfortable position. "Continue."

"And then.." I walked over to the door and stood as he stand. "He tossed his keys like that on the couch and demanded to know what the fuck happened. Like I.... me.. Moi was the one to blame."

"Ehh. The audacity." Remi shook her head.

I kept going, clapping my hands.. "I started spitting fact, after fact after fact. And then he made it about Tim and how I had stabbed him the back."

"Whaaat?" Remi's mouth dropped open.

"Aha..But wait for it.. " I cleared my throat and stood still. "Pissed off, I decide to leave and slam the door behind me, but he suddenly grabbed my wrist and yanked me back to him."

Remi was leaned forward to hear what happens next.

"And I tried to pull my hand out, yelling DON'T TOUCH ME."

Remi screamed. "Oh my god!! You did the "no me toques.""

I nodded proudly.

The "no me toques" was the ultimate woman power move. Every time Remi and I would watch a Mexican telenovela and the woman would get into a heated argument, the man would try to touch her and she'd pull her hand out yelling don't touch me as the ultimate thing you can forbid your lover to do.

"Never in my life, I'd think I would get to do it. But I was so angry.." I smiled. "I don't know what came over me.."

"And?"

"And then he slammed me on a wall and kissed me. "

Remi grabbed a pillow and I kept going. "I kissed him back and he took me upstairs, tossed me on the bed and.."

I waved a hand over my face trying to calm down.

"And?" Remi demanded to know. "AND?"

"And um.." I cleared my throat and turned around towards the window.

"This and that happened and we ended up doing it."

I heard a muffled scream so I turned around and Remi has pressed the pillow to her face. She suddenly brought it down and she came over, hitting me with the pillow. "You will not just end the story like that you little...where are the dirty details?"

I laughed trying to stop her. "Okay, Okay I'll spill. I was going to."

I dragged her to the bed and went back to cover more details.

This was going to be a long night.
