Somewhere in London, England, at a time when the clouds were grey and raining amidst the night, and the thunder would softly rumble from the heavens, there was a private office located in a large mansion, somewhere on the third floor, with the door locked.
"Hmm...Hamph...Hmah..."
There was a British man and a Japanese woman who were lunging at each other, naked without shame, sweat covering their skins, with their office clothing on the floor. The man was Howard L. Bridget. He had a tall, muscular build, blonde hair, and a middle age blond facial hair, a handsome face, and blue eyes. The woman was Shion Nayfield. She was a young beautiful woman in her twenties with a very slender physique, dark brown shoulder-length hair, parted to the left, and amber brown eyes covered with glasses.
Howard was seated on an office chair, with Shion sitting on to him. Desires and passion etch onto their faces. Their bodies rock in tandem as they drown themselves within one another, allowing themselves to meld into one. The man eyed at the woman's impressed chest size, bouncing as she moved. Her face, so beautiful and consuming, made Howard propel inside her all the more. Shion's expression was one of enjoyment and pleasure, releasing her feelings. Her face was slightly beat red and aroused. She wanted more. She felt the strong hands wrapped around her waist, near her rear that shook and bent. Her own hands were holding onto her man's sturdy shoulders.
They gasp for air. The man would grit his teeth at the welcoming and consuming pleasure that he was receiving while the woman was opening her mouth with suggestive gasps. Every nerve in their bodies screamed in sheer ecstasy. Letting their love and passion guide their movements, they both increased the speed and tempo accordingly as the sounds of flesh smacking into one another echoed with intensity.
Howard L. Bridget. He was a well-renowned businessman with established connections throughout the world, being one of the founders of the supranational organization Chevalier, the military backer of Genetics. Since the age of eighteen, he had taken over as one of the leading board directors of the organization and was responsible for continuing what his father had started, which was to fund Gengo's Pandora Project which had been developing since the height of the Cold War, in a turbulent time when America and Russia were enemies, and when the fate of the entire world was entrenched in all kinds of uncertainties.
He had lost his first wife, Olivia, to an attempted assassination on his life by the terrorist organization HYDRA. Then, he lost his second wife, Noelle, due to health complications. It broke him. He promised himself... never again... Never fall in love with another woman. All it would leave you would be heartbreak in the end.
And yet, there came along this woman that he was making love to, at his lowest point.
Shon Nayfield. The woman who became his most trusted confidant, his personal assistant, his private secretary, and his own loyal bodyguard. Reliable and dutiful in her tasks and how she always reminded him of what needed to be done. She was the one who would cook his meals for him and would make sure to keep himself tidy and professional.
In her younger days, she was one of the Numbers, a specialized elite team of Pandora who had come from West Genetics Academy, who would be known for holding the line during the 8th Nova Clash, one of the most devastating clashes ever recorded in history that took place in the year 2013. She lost her Limiter, Max Hemilton, at that time. Since then, she never wanted to have another Limiter again. Eventually, she would be assigned to protect and assist Howard, one of the leading board of directors of Chevalier.
Their relationship at first was strictly professional, though Howard would admit that she was quite young, beautiful, intelligent, and interesting when he first met her. They say that one can tell that a woman is a Pandora just based on her beauty, figure, and the way she carries herself. Well, that's debatable for many people, but for Howard, seeing Shion seems to be confirming that common notion of beauty, with brains backing it up. Though again, he also reminded himself from time to time, no, never again. Besides, he was too old and hollow for the joys and pleasures of romance. It did not give him any joy. He already tried again with Noelle, and it was only fleeting and temporary. Who's to say that it won't happen again with Shion? And Shion was the same general age as his eldest daughter Violet, which was another way for him to be extremely hesitant.
Though no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he was destined to find love again. It just happened. It started with simple talks in-between. Little by little, he and Shion managed to open up about their lives. The feelings that Howard had been wrestling with that left him cold ever since his two wives had died in tragic circumstances. Shion's trauma of losing her Limiter. Howard's estranged relationship with his children, particularly with his son Louis and with his daughter Satellizer. Shion's own desire to keep carrying on despite the loss, since she had made a promise with Max that she'd live her life to the fullest and with no regrets.
Regarding Shion's relationship with his children at this time, with Violet, they were more like sisters who shared a few common interests; with Louis, it was amicable at least yet not close enough; and with Satellizer, she was the kind of older sister figure that would listen to the latter when she needed it the most. In fact, it was Shion who recommended to Howard that West Genetics Academy was the perfect place to send her daughter to when Satellizer had been implanted with Kazuha Aoi's discarded six Heroic Stigmata that Kazuha herself had donated sometime after the 8th Nova Clash, and despite being deemed the least compatible, Satellizer somehow managed to pull through.
Howard was exceedingly hesitant at first to allow Satellizer to become a Pandora because he does not want to see his daughter risk her life and limb in a cause that could very well end up marking her death, but pressures from within Chevalier and expectations from the public were forcing his hand. That was why Shion proposed West Genetics, so that Howard could at least be assured that Satellizer would be safe and sound, trained by the best of the best. After all, Shion also cared for Satellizer just as Howard did. He eventually relented, trusting Shion's judgment on the matter.
"...Haumph! Howard! Hauu! Do-Don't stop! Hauh!" Shion spoke with an ecstatic tone, gripping the man's shoulders.
"Shion...Hmrk!" Howard gritted his teeth.
After a few years of trying to hold this kind of thing off, he finally decided to release it all. Before, he was still worried a little for Satellizer's well-being when Shion was comforting the man, reassuring him that everything would be alright, and that Satellizer would be safe and sound. Then all of a sudden, with their faces turned to each other, would slowly gravitate before they eventually kissed.
Then before they knew it, they kissed passionately and aggressively, removing all of their clothes and locking the door so that no one could disturb them. There were a few close calls before this, though nothing happened. Like Howard, Shion was hesitant to start another relationship as she still thought about her deceased Limiter. As a Pandora, Shion knew that she or her Limiter could perish on the battlefield at any time, so they wanted to make the most of it. They did, yet that did not feel enough, as the moment Max died, a part of her felt missing, lost without ever getting it back. She never thought that she could ever love again, and she never intended to.
And yet, she was drawn to this man who kept thrusting her back and forth, eyeing her breasts that vibrated up and down with each movement of her body. This man, who after a few years of hesitancy, finally saw her as a woman. Forgive me, Max. She thought. But I... I can't deny it anymore. I love Howard, I want him, I need him, and I refuse to let him go.
Then she felt even more exhilarating pleasure when Howard would bring his face to one of her peaks and hungrily clasp it, devouring her nipple and areola. Her eyes widened as she felt motivated to bring herself inside this man. She and Howard could feel, and in the latter's case, taste the sweat that came out of their bodies. She felt the facial hairs of her man tickling her breasts. Her hands would hold onto the man's head as her face raised itself upwards to the ceiling, with the sounds of rumbling thunder accompanying the defying pleasure that she was receiving.
Howard spoke in his mind. I don't want to lie to myself anymore. I want this woman. I want her now.
Their inward parts slammed into each other with resounding smacks, hungry for each other's lips as they raised them towards each other, creating a smooching experience and effect, then they let their lips go as the man would lay his face upon the woman's breast, and the woman would hold on and caress the man's hair. The desire for a release was near. It felt so near. Their climax. After what felt like hours of passionate feelings and emotions being poured out, though in reality, it was just only two hours. But it felt so much more.
The man's face would slowly lift himself to face the woman whose eye-catching expression made him thrust forward even more in faster motions. The sound of her moans were intoxicatingly bittersweet to his ears.
"Shion... I love you..." Howard muttered his honest-to-god feelings for the woman who had become so attractingly sweet to him, thrusting her hard as he made this declaration.
She was his. Call him selfish, but right now, he wants her. The time for his pain had come to an end. He wanted to start anew. This time, he wanted to make this work. Though he would need to keep this relationship a well-guarded secret for the time being. He was still fearful of what may happen in the future. He does not want the same tragedy to happen with Shion, even though for the most part, he did not need to worry as Shion was a Pandora and it was not like she was helpless, far from it, and the woman was a seasoned warrior in her own right, but he still could not help but worry for this woman who he now takes to be his current mistress.
"...I...I love you, too, Howard...I love you too..." Shion spoke as her figure bounced back and forth, wanting his manhood, with her expression forming into a loving yet passionate expression, with happy tears flowing from her eyes.
At this very hour, Howard was the happiest man after a very long time without any kind of love. He never thought to love again, but did. Now, this woman was special to him just as the former considered him special. Both shared similar tragedies, yet it is because of these that they draw closer to one another. Now, they made love and they would commit themselves to one another for as long as they lived.
A tear would shed from the man's eye as he gritted his teeth. He would bring this young woman to his embrace with his arms, with her breasts drawing near to the man's torso. He would bend his back a little, relaxing to the back of the office chair and feeling the warming comfort of his woman's body that continuously rubs his body. They could feel their heartbeats in sync. It's coming. It's coming. Almost there.
And then, they performed a release, together.
"Ughhh!"
"Uaaaaaaaaahhhh!"
Excretions of fluids pump deep within. Howard thrusts his forbidden fruit deep within the aching womb of his woman. Their bodies shook violently as they felt an energetic release and a feeling of pleasurable peace settling in. Both gasped for breath as Shion's face fell near Howard's face. Howard could feel Shion's breath as he embraced the woman's back. Both of them now felt a very orgasmic satisfaction.
Now they try to catch their breath and are simply content to embrace one another. Shion would gently raise her left hand to caress her man's right cheek and would softly kiss him on the cheek as a reward. They both looked at one another. Drawn to each other, they were about to kiss again. But then a few moments later...
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The telephone on the office table was ringing, making the two glance at it. Howard felt a little annoyed that their current mood was being interrupted.
"...Answer it," Shion softly muttered, looking at Howard with a pointed look, not taking a no for an answer, as she was caressing his cheek. While she too was annoyed and was enjoying her current moment with Howard, the incoming call could be rather important. And considering Howard's position in the world, it's more than likely to be important calls. Nobody sane enough would call Howard for anything non-sensical or not worth his time and effort.
Howard didn't want to let his embrace with his mistress go, but he'd follow her order. Thus, he'd move the office chair, with him and Shion in tow, as they draw near to the table. With his right hand and arm, Howard would reach for the button on the phone, putting it on speaker. Shion's hands were placed on Howard's chest and shoulder, focused on the call and also felt the warming embrace of his left arm to her back.
"This is L. Bridget," Howard spoke professionally while embracing his woman.
"This is Director Ironwood," a man would speak from the phone, making both Howard and Shion attentive, sporting concerned expressions while never letting go of their embrace.
Director Ironwood. There was only one person that both Howard and Shion knew by that name. He was a man who was the director of the largest interdimensional spy agency and security force on Earth. Shion would know who the man was during her years as a Number and her association with Howard.
Howard had met him a long time ago, having met him back in the Cold War days. In all the years that he knew the man, he doesn't call Howard, unless there is a good reason that either concerns him or concerns something important that would require his attention. And since this is the Director himself calling, the call would probably be untraceable and hard to catch, so there's no one else listening in on the other side. Ironwood is paranoid like that sometimes.
"Director, do what do I owe the pleasure of your call?" Howard asks.
"I just wanted to inform you that someone that you and I are familiar with has now entered West Genetics as a freshman, codename Red Beetle."
Both Howard and Shion widened their eyes a little, recognizing the codename.
Him? What is he doing in my daughter's school? Howard thought.
"What's your intent for telling me this, Director?" Howard spoke with caution and prudence. "You would not inform me of this unless this concerns something important."
"Do you remember Dr. Aoi's theories regarding Novalization?"
"I do, why?"
"Well, that's one particular reason why he was sent there, but not the only one. Plus, one of his primary objectives is to make sure that your daughter, Satellizer L. Bridget, is safe from harm, and I'd thought that the father would at least be informed of the new individual security detail that I set up," Ironwood spoke grimly. "Call it insurance if you will, and that's besides the fact that I'm practically giving the kid as close to a normal life as he could get. He's been through enough shit to last an entire century, so he deserves a little downtime. I'd know that you'd understand what I'm referring to, Bridget."
"...I do. Thank you for informing me of this, Director. Anything else that I should know?"
"None that's relevant or important," Ironwood said. "Though I suppose that a congratulations is in order."
"Pardon?" Howard raised an eyebrow.
Ironwood sighed and spoke with annoyance. "Do you really want me to spell it out for you, Bridget?"
It was then that Howard realized something. It made him twitch a little in annoyance. Shion in the meantime felt a little embarrassed and self-conscious because she realized that someone may have been watching them when they were going wild.
"Ironwood..." Howard spoke with a subtle threatening tone.
"Relax, Bridget," Ironwood's tone was one of annoyance, pinching his eyes out. "I never saw anything. All I saw was the heartbeat signatures on my vibration scan in the office being a little more erratic than normal. I knew what that meant, so I decided to hold off the call for now until you both were done playing rabbits. Don't forget, this isn't my first rodeo when it came to this kind of stuff, especially when you're in my dirty little two shoes and have to monitor even my Armed Agents to ensure that they either come back in one piece or aren't some double agent for HYDRA or a hostile alien infiltrator or an abomination from god knows where."
Howard and Shion would feel a little relieved that they weren't being watched, though were still annoyed that someone would notice them having their first time together.
"Now I'm going to need to end this call for the time being. I've got other important things to do."
"Wait," Howard spoke in turn, sporting a serious expression. "I have to ask something. Is one of the reasons why Red Beetle is in West Genetics at this current is because of HYDRA?"
"...Yes," Ironwood confirmed, making Howard and Shion very worried. "Though like I said, you don't need to worry about a damn thing. Just let my agent do his job, and if there's any questions asked, I'd ask that you'd vouch for him."
"Of course," Howard said.
"Good. Ironwood out."
Then the call was cut and silence returned to the office. Howard would sport a worried expression on his face.
HYDRA. The same organization that took Olivia from him, when it should have been him. That was neither the first nor the last time HYDRA had tried to threaten his family just to get to him. He was at least assured that Red Beetle was on stand-by in the school, but he is justifiably worried nonetheless.
"...I'm worried too," Shion spoke, bringing Howard out of his thoughts. She caresses his cheek and smiles at him. "But then, considering these circumstances, I do not think that we need to worry. Stella had improved and excelled quite well in her time as a Pandora back when I was training her a year ago. Now, her training would be taken up and continued by my old friend, Kazuha Aoi, someone who is much more experienced than me. She will make sure that Stella is safe and capable of defending herself."
"...I sincerely hope so," Howard spoke with a soft tone.
Then they kissed a little.
"...I...I meant what I said...when I said that I loved you, Shion," Howard spoke with an honest tone, embracing the woman.
"...And I am all the more happy for it," Shion spoke with a smile, caressing his cheek.
"Though... if I were to be honest, I'm still afraid."
"And it is fine to be so, for I too would feel the same way."
Howard looked a little hesitant. "...So, I... now that we... we've established our current relationship, I wonder how I would... break the news to them, to my children."
Shion would sport an understanding expression. "I suppose that is rather unavoidable. I would also prefer to not keep any secrets from them, especially with Violet."
Howard sighed a little. "I'm starting to wonder if I'm going a bit senile right now?"
"Ara. What do you mean?" Shion asks with an expression of amusement, caressing Howard's cheek, speaking with a Japanese tick and showing a little of her Japanese background.
"You're old enough to be my daughter," Howard pointed out with a sigh as his hands embraced his woman's back.
"And?" Shion spoke with conviction. "It may somewhat bother you, but it doesn't matter to me. I loved you, Howard. I may have tried to deny it over the years, but I just cannot bring myself to do it anymore. I loved you for who you are, a man who never lost his integrity and character, even when the odds are stacked against him. A man who tries to do what is right, even if the waters are a little muddy along the way. A man who ultimately cares for his family, even if he doesn't seem to show it most of the time. I loved all sides of you, and I want you to embrace me, if not as a wife, but as your woman."
"You already are my woman," Howard spoke with no hesitation, putting his hand on Shion's cheek which was a little red. He would kiss Shion again before responding. "And I do intend to make you my wife someday, make no mistake about that. Right now, I would suggest that we limit to whoever we tell."
"Hmm." Shion nodded. "Then, if you wouldn't mind, aside from Violet, I'd like to also tell Kazuha, Yu-Mi, and Elize. I don't want to keep this a secret from them too," Shion asks, wanting to at least tell her fellow Numbers about their relationship.
"Anything that my mistress would want, I would provide and approve of course," Howard spoke with a little smile, caressing her cheek.
"Hmm, sweet talker," Shion smiled a little.
Then they kissed, passionately as they brought their bodies close to an embrace, and their privates rubbed into and inside each other.
