I sat in the suite they gave me when I made my deal with the devil. It wasn't a place I came often, but I had asked Saira to meet me here... sometimes it was harder than others to keep going with Sondra gone, and this place helped me escape the pain, especially with someone I was close to, as lovers go at any rate. The thoughts, the dark thoughts, that plagued me were swarming around, buzzing in my mind, and I needed someone dear to relieve me from my darkness.

I put on my blue see-through nightgown and lit a few candles for ambiance. It was a quiet evening, and the virtue of my position allowed me to assure it would remain as such. It was my deal with the devil. It was the sin I'd carry all my life. And it was the only way I'd ever be happy again. And Saira was my escape from brooding over the things I'd done, the terrible, unthinkables.

Linnis... Now that girl, Saira remembered, and remembered well. The first time someone loved her tenderly rather than use (or be used by... or so she liked to convince herself about Ichigo) her. This time, she'd make it special, it kind of sounded like Linnis didn't just want her, now.

She needed her.

Wearing a soft, silky and shimmering white nightgown, Saira took a deep breath, fixing her glasses just a little bit before knocking on the door to Linnis's room.

"Linnis? Hi, It's Saira."

"Please come in, it's open!" I called back to her as I straightened the satin sheets, content with what I had done to turn this suite into a veritable pleasure palace for my girls. Safe. A sanctuary for.... well, for Saira. I had traded my soul for this, and I was going to reap my rewards.

So Saira opened the door, pushing at it with a single, quick shove... and strode in, her own nightie billowing slightly from the movement. One look at the apartment was all it took, though, for Saira to gape in astonishment.

"Wow... This is a really nice place. I... Thanks for doing all this, just for me."

She seemed to blush, not the least because of Linnis's flattering outfit! Also it was just the candles, the place... the way that she asked. It was just... nice. She could feel herself fluttering, light. And there was only one thing Saira thought was right to do.

With a quick rush forwards, she hugged Linnis tight, pushing their bodies together as she sighed wistfully...

I hugged back, inhaling deep of Saira's scent and the Vanilla of the candles I had lit. It was a wonderful moment, one that helped me forget my troubles, and with a quick kiss to Saira's cheek, I reminded her that once, I had told her with all honesty that I loved her. "I missed you too," I said to her with a soft giggle, responding to the excitement with which she greeted me. I wanted her right then, but that wasn't part of the bold romantic gesture I was making, so the wild sex would wait...

... at least another minute or two.

A turn and a kiss back on Linnis's cheek was enough to show that Saira remembered that she had told her that. Then, after another squeeze, she pulled back from the hug, giggling a little.

"Yeah... It's been a little while now, hasn't it? I'd been so wrapped up in my schoolwork... wow, it almost feels like it's been ages, now!"

She had been slower to pick up on it, but... the scents filling the room were soothing, really nice. Saira loved the scent of vanilla, and with Linnis here, too? It was enough to make the romantic atmosphere fill her with a light joy - which'd make the sex she knew they were about to have all the sweeter. It made it hard to hold back the wide, peaceful smile that was forming on her face...

"I came up with a new response to people who see my hair and ask if the carpet matches the drapes, by the way," I smiled, wanting to share my wit with someone I figured would appreciate it as I, holding her hand lightly in mine and rubbing my thumb along it, led her toward the bedroom of the rather sweet suite I was granted, "I'll say 'Actually, my floor is linoleum'. I had considered saying hardwood, but 'hard wood' is an implication of something else all together, and I think something anyone who gets the chance to ask me the question would rather me avoid implying, considering how things work around here."

Saira followed along with Linnis, the feeling she got from holding hands with her making her feel light all over again. The anticipation, the warmth of her hand itself - even just knowing it was Linnis, that she was with her... Was all it took. And in part from feeling so giddy, what would've been a soft laugh became an open giggle.

"Heeheehee, yeah. One of them might've met someone like that already. Hee, hardwood..."

But Saira entered into the bedroom, and looked around, noticing the clean lines of the walls, the large bed, the soft lighting... And... she warmly smiled at Linnis. She almost looked proud, though she might not have been able to quite figure on why.

"I love you, Saira..." I gave her a smirk and ran my hand along her side, up to the shoulder of her nightgown, which I slid away from it's place gently, "Love me tonight." It was getting to the point we both saw coming from the get-go. But it was nice to be like this.

Saira smiled deeper, even blushing a little, as part of her nightgown slipped down. She put her own hand in Linnis's hair, stroking it gently, before moving down to mirror what she did to Linnis's own nightgown. Her other hand squeezed a bit tighter around her lover's, as she leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"Mmm... You're as lovely as ever..."

"And I'm glad the local wildlife hasn't taken from you your grace..." I smiled as I slide the garment further from her flesh, "or your beauty." I was taking great delight in removing her clothes.

Saira actually grinned when Linnis said that, as she slowly stroked her with the very same fingers that were pulling down the nightgown.

"Like they could! You, me... there's just some girls that they just can't keep down."

By now both of their nightgowns were already falling past their chests, and Saira had already let go of Linnis's hand by then, putting both hands to the delightful job of sliding the silky clothes off of her. Though... not without a little slide of a fingertip along the edge of the breast, or ever-so-slightly down her side...

I did everything to make this experience as sensual as I could, my fingertips grazing her sides through the garment as I slid it off her. Her breasts were as supple as ever and it made me water.... in more places than my mouth.... as I looked her over. Anticipation dripped down my leg as slowly and gently as my hands removed her clothing, though each nanometer it slide down, both her gown and my liquid anticipation, was an agonizing tease and one I dutifully maintained.

Saira kept smiling, broadly, warmly, as her hands and Linnis's trailed their nightgowns down, almost looking like opposites, but mirrored. Her hands stroked Linnis' side, and Linnis' hands stroked hers, as she flexed back and sighed in pleasure. The nighties began to slip below their chests, breasts open to the air and tantalizing, though with that slow teasing pace, it would still be a little bit more before they were fully off.

And Saira was savoring every minute, as her hot breath against Linnis' chest seemed to suggest!

"You're so beautiful..." I whispered into her ear as my hands trialled up agonizingly for a moment before resuming their downward trip. I did this to be just a little tormenting, to make her yearn more and more and more for my breath on her lower lips, as all manner of dirty, lovely, images filled my mind. My breath had a slight quiver to it, never having this good sense of anticipation before the act. It was exhilarating, lovely.
