Redheaded Stranger

Chapter 17
Resistance is Futile

Squall knocked on Edea's door, giving Reno one more warning glance before she opened it to let them in with a pleasant smile on her face. Reno bit back the flirt that wanted to come forth when he saw the regal beauty of the raven haired woman. She led them into the living room, moving with incredible grace and dignity. Reno's eyes strayed down to her backside, her tight fitting dress not leaving much to the imagination, and got a quick punch on the arm from Squall that was sure to leave a bruise.

"Sorry," Reno whispered, losing the smirk that had been playing across his lips, rubbing his arm with a low hiss.

"Sit down," she invited the two of them, either ignoring Reno's whisper, or not hearing it.

"Thank you, Matron. This is Reno," he said in introduction, having a hard time hiding the fact that he'd rather not be doing this. Edea gave him a stern look and he relaxed, melting under her authoritative gaze. Reno was amazed at Squall's reaction, realizing this woman was probably the only human in existence that could make him back down from anything, just because he had so much respect for her.

"Hello, Reno. You may call me Edea," she said, taking his hand to shake. He couldn't help but notice how soft and warm her hand was. He pulled his hand back quickly, thinking the less he touched her the better. After getting Squall's invitation for tomorrow night, he didn't want to do anything to get him pissed and break it off.

"Nice to meet you, Edea," he said and stayed uncomfortably silent, trying to look anywhere but in her direction. The silence stretched between the three of them until Edea cleared her throat.

"I heard you were the talkative one, Reno. Why so quiet?" she asked, glancing at Squall with a knowing look.

"I...uh...just don't have much to say today, I guess," he said, looking at Squall for any kind of clue as what he was suppose to talk about. Thanks to the Commander, he felt like talking to her about the weather was too much.

"Surely you have something you'd like to talk about..." she started, the urgent knock on the door interrupting them. "Come in," she invited to the visitor and Quistis came in, looking at Reno with a slight smile that Edea caught with sharp eyes.

"Squall, your father needs to talk to you. They found Odine's hidden lab just about an hour ago."

"Well, at least that's some good news," he said, getting up from the couch. "Come on, Reno."

"Reno stays," Edea said without missing a beat, freezing Squall in his tracks.

"Matron?"

"I haven't really got to know Reno yet, and I think that has something to do with you, doesn't it?" she said, looking at him with disapproval.

"Matron, I just..."

"Enough, Squall. Your father is waiting," she said with finality.

"Alright." He gave Reno a look that said it all and the redhead nodded, looking more serious than he had the entire time he had been in their world.

"It's cool, Squall. I'll be good." He nodded, not having any other choice and left with Quistis, leaving Reno alone to try Hyne knew what with his Matron.

Squall leaving hadn't done anything for the mood. Reno still remained quiet and she observed him with rapt interest as he looked around the room, pretending to be busy thinking. He could feel her eyes on him, but he chose to ignore it, taking to whistling a tune he'd vaguely remembered hearing before. The minutes seemed to stretch, until Edea took it upon herself to break the uncomfortable silence.

"I understand that you're very anxious to get home. It must be terrible for you to be trapped here, not knowing if you'll ever get back," she said in a caring tone of voice, but managed to make in devoid of pity, which he admired.

"It's tough, but I have to try to be optimistic about it. If it came to not being able to get back, well, I like it here, so I guess it wouldn't be all that bad."

"I like your attitude, very positive. You'd make an excellent SeeD."

"Thanks, but I'll always be a Turk, no matter what," he said proudly, finally putting his attention on her instead of the room.

"So loyal and dedicated, another good sign of SeeD material," she smiled softly. "Why I wonder, did Squall not want me to meet you?" she asked in a suspicious way. He wasn't quit sure how to respond to her, so he clammed up again and merely shrugged his shoulders, faking innocent unknowing. "Am I making you uncomfortable, Reno?" she asked slowly, tapping her nails on the armrest of her chair idly.

"Of course not. I don't think there's anyone alive that can make me feel uncomfortable, not even my boss. Actually, I think that bugs the hell out of him sometimes," he chuckled. She smiled at his little joke, tilting her head slightly as she did. He watched the curve of her neck, wondering how her skin felt, how soft and warm....'Get your mind off that!' he thought, looking away quickly, pretending to take interest in the vase on the coffee table.

"You've been a very busy bee since you arrived at our Garden," Edea said, her whole demeanor changed as quick as a heartbeat and she relaxed back into the chair she was sitting on, crossing her legs in the most alluring way he had ever seen.

"Uh..heh..what do you mean?" he asked, playing innocent, but she wasn't a fool and smiled in a way that made his cock take notice. 'Shit, shit, shit!' He squirmed on the couch, trying to ignore the signals his body was giving him. He promised Squall and he was gonna keep it, no matter how painful it may be.

"You know what I mean. I don't think I need to repeat what I heard, though it was very....intriguing."

"Mmmm...Maybe I should go," he said and started to get up.

"Sit!" He slipped back down, taking a deep breath to try to clear the dirty thoughts that were running wild through his mind. This woman was beautiful, hot and staring at him like she was ready to attack. "Would you like something to drink?" she asked, sauntering over to the small bar on the other side of the room.

"Whiskey," he said, hoping the drink would help his resolve. He watched her pour the drink, her back to him and his eyes moved to her ass again before he could stop himself. They lingered before he snapped himself out of it with a silent curse. 'She's married to the Headmaster of the Garden, asshole!' he chastised himself. As much as he loved sex, Reno had never been with anyone who was married, at least not that he knew of. Maybe the fact that she was wed would be enough, he hoped. It's not like she had come on to him anyway, she'd only smiled at him.

"Here you are," she said, walking over and handing him the glass. If he felt uneasy before, it got worse when she opted to sit next to him instead of going back to her chair. With three long swallows he downed his drink, ignoring the burning sensation that followed down his throat. "Slow down," she laughed light and husky. It was probably the sexiest laugh he had ever heard, and he knew if he didn't get out of there soon he'd be breaking his promise.

"You're married to the Headmaster, aren't you?" he said passively as she took the glass from his hand and set it aside.

"Yes..., but not happily I'm afraid." She put her hand on his knee and sighed with a hint of sorrow.

"Sorry to hear that," he said shifting away, trying not to be rude about it. If she noticed his reluctance, she chose to ignore it, reaching up to grasp a few strands of his hair.

"Such a bright shade of red I've never seen before," she said softly. Reno cleared his throat and moved a little more, fearful he would lose the last of his will if he didn't leave, and now.

"I should really go..."

"My husband hasn't made love to me in almost two years," she threw out, giving him a haunting look that he couldn't ignore.

"Did he lose his dick or something, because I'd be fucking you every chance I got," Reno blurted before he knew it. "Shit, I'm sorry," he tried to recover and saw that it wasn't necessary. She was laughing with delight, but managed to look as regal as ever while doing it.

"I wonder that myself sometimes," she said after her laughter receded to a soft amused smile. "And if you're offering, I'll gladly accept," she purred, moving closer than she had before. "My dear husband is gone and sadly he won't be back for a few days." She took to dragging her nails over his leg, stopping just short of his groin.

"I promised Squall I wouldn't do anything like this and you're making it really hard for me to keep it." He struggled to say the words, trying in vain to grasp back the last few layers of his resistance. His cock was straining against the confines of his pants and she took notice, running her hand over it possessively.

"Holy shit," his voice cracked on the words and she chuckled huskily.

"Would you like me to take care of this for you? Squall doesn't need to know. I'm a grown woman that can make her own decisions." Reno was beginning to think that his seductive ways was spreading like a virus through the Garden. First Squall, now this gorgeous creature practically raping him, not that he minded.

"Well, since you're offering," he said, smoothly taking control of the situation. "I'd definitely like you to take care of it." She smiled, getting up from the couch, grasping his hand to take him to the bedroom. 'Slow is the way to go with this one, it's been far too long for her. Her husband must have some serious problems if he doesn't want to tap this ass everyday,' he thought as she lead him toward the bed.

Before he even had a chance to speak, she was kissing him, forcing her tongue between his lips to lap at his to the point of aggression. She was gripping his hair, grinding herself against his body, sucking on his tongue with such need that it amazed him. This statuesque, poised woman had turned into a wild animal in second, intent on devouring him.

"Whoa...,hold on," he panted after prying his mouth from hers.

"I really need this, please," she protested as he pulled away.

"I know," he said slowly. "I'm all for rough, hard and fast, but that isn't what you need, babe." He pulled her into his arms, kissing her lightly, brushing his tongue over her slightly parted lips. "All the time your husband has been neglecting you...., well, I'm gonna make it all up for you today," he said against her lips in a whisper.

"Make love to me," she breathed softly, relaxing her body against his.

"Oh yeah, again and again, until you're satisfied." Their lips locked together in a slow, sensual kiss that seemed to last forever. He slowly backed her toward the bed, taking the pins out of her hair to let it tumble down her back. "You're beautiful," he said after gently breaking the kiss to nibble and nuzzle her slender neck. She smiled slowly, pushing his jacket off his shoulders and down his arm, letting it fall to the floor.

"It's been so long," she said lightly, unbuttoning his shirt, running her hands across his hard body before sliding it off his shoulders to join the jacket. He ran his hand along her neck and she sighed as her eyes closed. Keeping his hands on her body, he walked around to her back, pulling down the zipper on her dress, pushing the straps off her shoulders to let it pool around her feet. She was nude underneath, giving him the impression that she had been planning on getting him between the sheets the whole time. This had not been some offhanded seduction, not in the least.

"Damn, you have a gorgeous body," he said with praise, showing her just how strongly he thought of it by pulling her gently back against his chest, kissing her neck and shoulder. Wrapping his arms around her, he cupped her breasts, teasing the nipples until he had her writhing and panting.

"I need you," she moaned softly, laying her head back against his shoulder in total surrender. Keeping her in place, he moved one hand slowly down her body to the patch of curly black hair on her mound, running his fingertips through it languidly.

"Spread your legs," he murmured against her ear, licking the lobe slowly, making her shiver and gasp. She did as he asked and his hand went further, his fingers moving over her aroused lips. He gently spread them apart, teasing the hard nub of her clit. Her hips rolled slowly against his hand as she reached her arms up and back thrusting her hands in his hair. He pressed his face against her warm neck, nuzzling and breathing in her alluring scent. His fingers slid inside her and they both moaned with it, Edea from the pleasure and Reno from the feel of her silky tunnel.

"Yes," Edea gasped, her voice hushed and filled with passion, arching her back, laying her head further against his shoulder as her hips moved harder in response to his ministrations. Reno massaged her walls harder, running his thumb over her clit as he did, wanting to give this extraordinary woman the release she so desperately needed and deserved.

"So hot and wet," he growled against her ear, pressing his groin against her so she could feel how hard he was. Her breath was coming harsh, her movement more demanding and wild, her hands clenching desperately in his wild hair. "That's right, come for me, I want to feel you." She let loose with a rapturous wail and he felt the warm rush of her orgasm cover his hand as she continued to rock with him. He pulled his fingers from her as she sagged against him for support and he picked her up to lay her on the bed as she recovered from the first of many orgasms he intended to give her.

"Now that's impressive," she said with a seductive smile as she watched him finish undressing, her eyes on his very erect penis.

"You like?" he said with a hint of playfulness.

"Oh, yes," she purred, crawling to the edge of the bed where he was standing. She ran her tongue along the underside of his shaft, moaning softly as she did. "I miss doing this," she said, grasping him in a firm grip to take the head into her mouth.

"Take as long as you want," he hissed when her teeth light grazed him, making him shiver pleasantly. She eagerly went to work, rolling her tongue around his cock head as she grasped his sack to massage his balls. He moaned and gasped as she took her time with him, running her lips and tongue up and down his shaft with slow determination, alternately sucking then stroking him closer to the edge, making him almost senseless with the building pleasure. She sucked harder and he groaned loudly, pumping his hips, no longer able to hold back. "I'm close," he warned her with a lustful growl and she pumped his shaft faster with his thrusts. In seconds he let go, releasing his seed into her mouth where her tongue lapped at him, her throat swallowing down what he gave her.

"So good," she purred, licking the tip to catch the last few drops seeping from the slit. He trembled with it, his breath hitching as he watched her finish lapping him clean.

"How could anybody not want you?" he said, swallowing heavily as she gazed up at him, eyes lidded with renewed lust. She smiled, pumping his half limp shaft back to full arousal.

"Lay down," she said, pulling him on the bed to join her. He lay back and sighed in pleasure when she crawled over his body, straddling him with slow seduction. Grasping his member, she guided it inside herself, pleasure crossing her beautiful features when he completely filled her.

"Oh, yeah. You feel so good," he moaned deep in his throat as she rocked against him. Her head was tilted slightly back, her lips parted as soft moans escaped her, her slow breath coming quicker with each rock of her hips. "So fucking tight," he praised her, moving beneath her to heighten the incredible sensation for them both. "Harder, Edea. Come all over me, baby." She rocked hard and fast, her fingernails digging into his chest. The pain only excited him further and he urged her on, pumping up against her wildly as she fucked him, taking what she needed. Her tunnel gripped his shaft and she cried out his name, grinding shamelessly atop him.

He felt the orgasm hit and she rode him without slowing, dragging a strangled shout from his throat as he spilled his seed inside her tightening walls. Their moans slowly died and she lay her sweat soaked body atop his. Laying there in the afterglow, he caressed her back as she relaxed against him, her hand curled in his hair where her fingers played lazily through it.

"You're an incredible lover," she said softly, breaking the silence, looking up at his face.

"I'm not done with you yet," he responded with a devilish grin.

"Mmmm, I didn't think you were." She kissed him, wiping the grin from his face as he rolled her over to show her just what an incredible lover he really was.
