Best Single Line

"Too many emotions swirled within her at the kind insistence of his voice, the gentle authority in his eyes, and the tender way he held her hands as if they were glass and might break. Her lips trembled and she didn't know what to do as everything inside her seemed to collapse under a tsunami wave of passions, both good and ill." (from Ch. 8 of "Pandemic," by bcbdrums)

"The moon, a friend of hers in nights of solitude, could not repair the cracks within her broken heart that continued to grow as she vividly imagined the rich relationships maintained by her brothers—relationships that she once held within her feeble hands, but let slip as her own selfishness tore her away from those she loved the most." (from Ch. 4 of "If You Could Read My Mind, Love," by sammisue)

Kim knew even before alarms began to flare and emergency lights flickered on scarlet from every socket that [the button] must have been a self-destruct mechanism. It was just that kind of day." (from "True Blue," by Purplegirl761)

"It appears that you have again taken up a course of study that I at least, had hoped that you had abandoned years ago." Yori said, her face a blank mask hiding any real emotions. It was only the tone of her voice that let Ron know her true feelings. Subtle to any that didn't know her well, loud as a thunder clap to those that did.

He remained silent as he waited for her to continue.

"The art of being stupid. One of the more advanced classes." (from "Past and Present V2," by Levi2000a)

"Well, let's get you to the cannon and blast you into space, cos your coffee is rank, Lady," Quinn said and the look in her eyes told Betty that the girl was only half-joking. (from "And You and I," by K1G0)

Traci dribbled confidently with her left hand, easily protecting the ball from Kim's feints at a steal. Nothing seemed to be about to happen when without warning Beth took three quick steps back to a spot well behind the three-point line. Before Crystal could react Traci dealt a perfect no-look bounce pass to the diminutive girl, who let fly a two-handed set shot right off a circa 1950 Minneapolis Lakers highlight reel that kissed the backboard and swished through the hoop. The crowd cheered.

"She'll sink that from Denver if the wind's with her," Traci told an astonished Kim. "You cheerleaders are goin' down like cheerleaders in a raunchy direct-to-video teen sex comedy." (from Ch. 2 of "Cri De Guerre," by Campy)

This is an AU ending of Chapter 53 of "Random Tales of Drakgo" by @gothicthundra, written with permission. The first several paragraphs and dialogue are direct from the chapter to set up the scene. It changes to my writing when Drakken closes his eyes and "waits for the joke to end," which I put in bold to clearly indicate where her writing stops and mine begins. This contains several references to the story upon which it is based, and will have the greatest impact if you read the relevant chapters of RToD first.

Everything under the cut is Not Safe For Work, lemon, adults only, and so on.

-------------------------------

"Thinking about Sweets?" asked Shego. She looked towards where the hover car was hidden. "We could still return the stuff and you can woo her back... I won't help you serenade but I'll make lights."

"No, I'm pretty confident in my choice," said Drakken. He realized he was looking at Shego too long and changed the subject. "Why, you want me to drop you off at Dementor’s?"

"Uhg, for another unsatisfied night, no thanks." Shego made a movement like her skin crawled. "No."

"I thought you didn't remember?" asked Drakken with a raised brow. Shego looked him in the eyes.

"That's how I know it was an unsatisfactory night," said Shego. Drakken smirked, but her expression changed. "I want to say I'm sorry things didn't work out with you and the Queen of Candy Land, but..."

"I understand," said Drakken. He looked at their attire. "Are we going to talk about this?"

"Let's not, or we'll end up talking about the irony of the whole thing... Like the night of their engagement, he chose Elphaba over Glinda and ditched their party... Which is so unrealistic. No man chooses a maybe over a sure thing," said Shego as they began heading towards the hover car.

"He clearly valued one relationship over the other," said Drakken, shaking his head.

"There was no guarantee Elphaba might have been into him," snorted Shego as they entered the deserted park. "Are you telling me that if Carmella had asked you between having a wild night with her or sitting here with me, you would have chosen me? I doubt it."

"...No," said Drakken. He swallowed hard, then gave a scoff. "Definitely not."

"See," said Shego. She slowed her walk and smirked. "I mean, they did end up having sex in a forest...so it worked out."

"They made out," said Drakken with a raised brow.

"No, they had sex," said Shego with a scoff. She rolled her eyes. "They had hot steamy sex in a forest, that's why it cut away to a different scene. Because it was no longer PG-13, Doc."

"How very nice," scoffed Drakken. He indicated to the patch of ground through the trees they were walking through to get to the hover car. "Would you have sex there?"

"Are you asking me?" asked Shego with a raised brow, a dark glint in her eye. "You want to fully embrace the irony of this whole evening? Should we sing too?"

"No...that is...no." Drakken felt suddenly flustered, and he didn't want to imagine that right now. He cleared his throat. "I just don't think it would be that good, that's all."

"With me or the forest?" asked Shego, getting close to him, her smirk unwavering. "Because I know one of them wouldn't disappoint."

"Sh-Shego." Drakken backed into a tree as she moved closer to him. He furrowed his brow. "Can you not..."

"Can I not, what?" asked Shego. She was very close to him now. Her hand touched his face, not looking away from his eyes.

"Not..." Drakken wasn't sure where this was going and he was suddenly on the verge of his second mental breakdown of the night, and he felt his stomach twist. He closed his eyes and waited for the end of the joke.

"Don't you think Elphaba can satisfy better than Glinda?" Shego continued in the same tone. "Besides... I'm sure Fiyero can satisfy better than...uh..."

Drakken's eyes opened and he narrowed them on her curiously.

"Well, Elphaba didn't have another love interest, but you get what I mean."

She was still staring into his eyes, her hand on his face. He picked up on her cue and thought about the unfortunate incident with Dementor. It made him ill to think about, as it also seemed to make Shego. But she couldn't seriously be suggesting...?

He realized she was holding her breath, and his brow rose. His lips parted to speak, but at that instant a ripping feeling on his face caused him to yelp. He reached up to the stinging spot and realized she'd torn away one of the triangle stickers.

"These have been bothering me all day," she said, crumpling the thing up and turning away. He noticed a slight tremor to her voice, and he impulsively reached out to grab her wrist. Shego turned and gave him an amused look. But she was still holding her breath. Drakken realized he had begun to hold his.

"They had...cut away to a different scene, you say?" he began slowly, taking a step back toward the forest and pulling her with him.

Shego's eyes widened, but then her expression fell into a smirk.

"Mm-hmm," she played back into the joke. But Drakken wasn't so sure now that she had been joking... He still expected it, but his mind was swirling as much as his nerves. Did she want something to erase the experience with Dementor, though she claimed no memory of it? He swallowed nervously and decided to call her bluff.

"How did it really go?" he asked, still pulling her toward a patch of grass in the forest, surrounded by trees. It was secluded enough.

Am I actually considering this?

Shego's eyes had widened again at his question and her expression wasn't as quick to fall back to the smirk that time.

"Well, after the singing..."

"No singing," Drakken interrupted, and then his breath caught. He was considering it. He couldn't consider it. Why was he? Why was he still leading her toward the grass?

"Awww, but you love singing at karaoke!" Shego teased. "Why not before a romp?"

Drakken ignored the question. "What actually happened?"

They had reached the patch of grass, and Drakken released her wrist. There was hesitation behind the smirk in her eyes, but then her grin broadened and Drakken yelped as he was suddenly brought to his knees with her in front of him. His heart started racing for fear... What was he thinking? He...they couldn't do this. Shego's hesitation seemed to be growing too, to his relief, and he hoped she would soon put an end to it or else he would have to. He shouldn't have encouraged it. She took a deep breath before speaking.

"As wicked as she was feeling, she probably ripped his clothes off," Shego said casually, moving her gloved hands to his shoulders on either side of his neck.

This was the moment Drakken was sure it would end, either with another yank of a triangle sticker from his cheek, or perhaps laughter at his expression which he was certain was horrified. He held his breath, and noted Shego still holding hers. Silence fell between them.

"You're not joking," fell from his lips before he could stop the words. He felt his face flush even as he saw Shego's do the same, regret and anger immediately filling her eyes. He grabbed her wrists hard as she started to move away from him. "Why aren't you joking?"

Tears started to join the anger in Shego's eyes, and sudden heat from her glow made his hands uncomfortably hot within his gloves as her own melted away. She tried to yank her wrists away from him, but he impulsively pulled her forward into a hard kiss, holding her glowing hands up and back so she couldn't singe him.

For a moment neither of them moved, but then he tentatively tested the situation further by moving his lips against hers. When she responded he was shocked, and he released her wrists to have her extinguished hands fall to his shoulders, and his own went around her back.

"Why?" he asked when their lips broke, mentally asking himself the question as much as he was asking her.

Shego glanced away. "...It would be the ultimate thing to rub in Princess Bubblegum's face."

Drakken looked at Shego's nervous blush. He considered how sweet the lingering taste of her kiss was. It was nothing like Carmella's had been. That kiss was saccharine, temporary, artificial... There was something deeper behind Shego's he realized, just from that brief moment.

He thought of Carmella asking him to choose between the pair of important women in his life, and the feel of her hands in his compared to how Shego felt in his arms right then. He recalled Carmella's insistence on preferring Act One of the musical, Duff Killigan's teasing about preferring Act Two, and the Scotsman's teasing from weeks prior about him not being over his crush on Shego.

He realized two things then... That Duff was right, and also...

"Is that the only reason?" Drakken asked. "Because...I can't do this, if that's all."

Shego turned back to him with a soft gasp, her eyes searching his. She didn't speak for several seconds and he wondered what she was thinking. His heart felt like it would escape his chest as he took the greatest risk he'd ever taken.

"Fiy-...what's his name...did choose a maybe, over a sure thing," he said.

Shego blinked at him several times before her eyes narrowed. "What...?"

Drakken shrugged, trying desperately to ignore the flips of his stomach. If he was wrong, and she was just pushing a joke too far...he would have lost everything that night. Even his Plan wouldn't have the same luster without Shego.

The silence was lasting far too long for his liking as Shego stared at him, her eyes wide and searching and also seeming to drift to some deep place. As the moment dragged on his anxiety rose, and he was just about to laugh off the idea as a joke taken much too far when Shego spoke, her brow furrowed in concentration.

"She asked you to choose...? And you chose me?" Her words were disbelieving.

Drakken swallowed the lump in his throat as he nodded. He was suddenly aware of Shego's hands moving toward his collar again.

"Yes," he breathed.

"Well..." she said, looking down, her fingers resting over the gold buttons, "I guess I should give you those physical benefits."

Drakken was confused and suddenly fearful of green fire appearing at his throat, but then as he caught her meaning he nearly choked. His mind raced back to her earlier use of the phrase and his response, and his face reddened as he realized what she had been thinking. Shego started undoing his gold buttons and he felt panic rise.

"You don't...I mean if you don't want...that's not..." She froze amid his ramblings and he let out a growl of frustration at his inability to articulate. "That is... I didn't...think you felt this way?"

He looked to where her chest was heaving, her eyes uncertain again. He realized she was probably having every doubt he was having, along with whatever her own were. He had never imagined she could have feelings like those he had tried to bury... But if she did...

"Shego—"

He didn't get to finish as her lips crashed into his, her kiss hungry this time instead of uncertain. He didn't stop it when he felt her hands on his buttons again, and he started feeling behind her hair for a clasp or zipper at the top of her high collar. If she did have feelings...he wasn't going to lose this opportunity.

His heart continued to pound as the only sounds in the forest were their kissing, their heated gasps for air in between, and the sound of clothing coming undone. His gloves, jacket, and belt were on the ground beside them, and he had finally undone a tiny clasp at her neck and was able to slide her zipper down. It was that action, the zipper descending below her hips and where he could feel the waistband of her undergarments, that finally caused her to pull away.

He stared into her still-uncertain eyes as her fingers lingered at his waist, where she was making ready to tug off his undershirt. Drakken didn't want the moment to end and he hastened to fill the silence.

"'Just for this moment...'" he sang softly, remembering the song's lyrics, hoping the tremor in his voice wasn't audible.

Shego's expression brightened, though her eyes still revealed anxiety. He continued.

"'As long as...'" Shego joined him on the last two words, "'you're mine.'"

Drakken's jaw worked for a moment, but he couldn't remember any of the other lyrics. He lifted a free hand to her cheek instead where she was blushing, her eyes awed. And then with a raised brow, he reached to his own cheek and yanked off the last triangle sticker. Shego chuckled, and he could hear the nerves in her voice.

"You didn't have to rip it off like I did," she said.

"Wanted to make sure you know who you're with," he said. Her smile fell and her eyes widened in awe again while he gave a slight grimace. "Not some...costumed character. Just m-me."

He cringed internally over his stutter on the last word, but Shego didn't seem to notice. Her chest was heaving again, and as before, her response was to launch her arms around him and bring her lips to his.

Drakken fell back on his heels and braced himself with one arm, while his other went around her waist. When he felt up her bare back she pulled away and yanked him forward before pulling off his undershirt. Part of him still wanted to run, but the other part couldn't risk losing the moment. He started gently pulling her dress away from one shoulder and then the other.

When the dress was about to fall from her chest she leaned back, holding the fabric up with her hands. He realized she must not be wearing anything beneath, and that the last line was about to be crossed. She was still hesitant, and part of him itched to ask why. But the other part was afraid any hesitation would not only ruin the moment, but their entire relationship. He swiftly began undoing his belt and pulled down his zipper, to show her he had made up his mind.

A soft gasp left her lips, and with a flush of embarrassment he reached down to his boots to yank those off. There would be nothing artful or romantic about scrambling out of his pants on the grass, but he couldn't back down. Just when his thumbs hooked under both his waistbands to tug everything down, he heard her breath hitch again. He looked up from where he had been focused and watched her bring her hands down to her sides as she rose to be on her knees.

Drakken's eyes locked with hers, excited but nervous. He reached up to her hips and gently tugged the fabric downward, his eyes rising to where the black material slid downward to reveal green flesh. His breath caught as he stared. He glanced up at Shego's face for a moment to make sure he wasn't dreaming, but couldn't help himself but to continue staring at her chest.

"S-So...you do get affected by me," Shego said shakily.

"Nghn... Of course I do! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," he said.

Whatever Shego's reply might have been was halted as he stood up. He picked up the costume tailcoat and spread it out over the grass, hoping the lined interior would be enough of a barrier from the hard ground. When he looked back to Shego he did a double-take first at her half-naked form, and then brought his gaze to her face. She was finally starting to look less nervous, and even excited. His own nerves began to calm. Maybe...she did have feelings after all.

"Lay down," Shego said, startling him.

"What?"

Shego pulled her arms from the lace sleeves of the dress, and her hand on his hip guided him to move as instructed. He wasn't about to argue with her now that she definitely seemed to be sure of where they were headed, and he obliged her, leaning up on his elbows as he took the place he'd assumed would be hers atop his coat.

He might have realized her intentions sooner, but the dress falling entirely from her hips and leaving her only in her shoes and some very attractive black underwear distracted him. His eyes were focused on her impossibly perfect curves when he realized that his pants and boxers were being tugged down, and his growing erection being freed.

He felt a flash of embarrassment as he looked at his crotch, and then a glance at Shego's wide, astonished eyes left him even more confused. He was about to apologize for...what, he wasn't sure. Not being fully hard yet, for being blue, for being of disappointing size, when he saw excitement fill Shego's eyes. Her hand reached down and cupped the sensitive flesh and he let out a hiss, the slight contact already sending a rush of blood downward.

"Think I owe you this," Shego said, giving him a shy smirk. His eyes widened as he finally understood, and he watched her push her hair all over one shoulder as she bent her face down. He leaned up further on his elbows, eyes wide as he watched her lift his growing arousal with her hand and then bring her lips over the tip.

An incoherent sound escaped his chest in a breath as she began to pleasure him, her hand gently attending the base of his shaft while she first suckled on his tip like he was a lollipop, the pressure firm and intoxicating. Then she changed her approach and moved her lips over so she was kissing the side of him, and then glided her mouth down, suckling his skin all the while as her tongue provided a different soft texture, the gentle licks giving a variance to the pressure.

Drakken's senses reeled as he watched her go about the task methodically, giving the same attention to each side of his shaft which had quickly risen to full mast under her attentions. Her hand had moved to gently tease the dark hairs that gave little modesty to the area as it turned out, the occasional attention to his scrotum sending even more electric sensations of pleasure through him and making him wonder how long she intended to keep this up; he wasn't sure how long he could last.

She finally moved to the more familiar tactic he had expected and slid her mouth down over his length, her eyes closing as she did so. She didn't go far—perhaps two inches at most—before sliding back up. He watched her blink and was surprised to see nerves in her eyes again before they closed and she built a slow rhythm. It was the most incredible thing he had ever felt...and the most amazing thing he had ever seen, with Shego's perfect lips sliding up and down to pleasure him, her cascade of hair fallen over his thighs. He had never even dreamed something so glorious, and he suddenly realized that if she didn't stop they wouldn't be having the hot, steamy sex that hadn't been shown on the stage.

"Your turn," he said abruptly, starting to shift upright. Shego's lips left him with a pop, and he hissed.

"What?" she asked, blinking in surprise.

"Your turn. Lay down," he said, reaching past her to slide his pants the rest of the way off, and causing her to sit up in further surprise.

They traded places, Shego still looking astonished at the turn of events, while Drakken was a bit relieved. He hoped the minutes would let him calm down enough so that when the moment came, he could last long enough to satisfy her. But just in case...

Shego was now seated on his open coat and leaned back on her elbows, her knees lifted and modestly pressed together. He moved down below them and set his hands on his hips, glancing at where his erection still glistened from her attentions and then to her surprisingly shy expression.

A sudden flash of unease struck him, and he wondered about her experience with Dementor that she claimed was unsatisfying and entirely out of memory. He wondered if she'd been truthful, and if there had been something about it causing her hesitation now. She was the one who had set them on this path, first with her teasing and then an apparent desire he realized was still unspoken. She had answered all of his questions with a kiss. He took a nervous breath and put on a confident smile.

"You'll definitely remember this night," he said boldly.

Shego's eyes widened and her face flushed deeper as his hands slid atop her knees and waited there. As they stared at each other he saw something in her face soften, and then she began to move her legs apart. Drakken grinned as he took the cue and reached down to gently pull off her panties, spreading her legs wide after they were gone to settle comfortably between them. He was thrilled to see the green folds already glistening, and he looked up again to see her still looking slightly uncertain.

He was torn between asking her what was wrong, and simply going ahead. Everything in him wanted to pleasure her, to make her forget she'd ever had the misfortune of being with Dementor, and hopefully find deeper feelings between them that he'd tried so desperately to close his heart to. But he couldn't. Not with that look in her eyes.

"Shego? What's wrong?" Even the asking sent pain to his heart, for fear he'd just ruined everything.

Shego startled and he watched her try to hide her unease.

"Nothing's wrong."

Drakken's brow furrowed. "...Are you sure?"

Shego looked annoyed then. "Your face is three inches from my crotch. Don't ruin this."

"Noted," Drakken said, immediately switching focus. If a conversation was to be had, that was clearly not the time.

He tugged his undershirt beneath his crotch and then lay on his stomach on the cool grass, sliding his hands up her stomach until they cupped her breasts. He watched her expression fall to surprise and pleasure as he began skillfully manipulating the flesh in his hands, and then he turned his gaze lower.

He began with nuzzling kisses to her inner thighs, pressing his face in and gently suckling the soft flesh. He let his lips trail all the way up to her navel before descending again, prolonging the teasing before he finally gave a tiny lick to the small, sensitive peak just visible at the height of her folds. She let out a whimper in response and Drakken looked to see her head fall back in pleasure, her thighs pressing upward against his arms.

He grinned and set himself about the goal of making her lose herself in pleasure. He gave long, laborious licks over her opening, alternating between attending the flesh of the outer folds to the ones dripping at her center. When he finally pushed his tongue inside she fell to her back, her hands moving to cover his over her breasts as he never faltered in his attentions there as well.

"Onhh..." Her moan of pleasure thrilled him, but a sudden flash through his mind made him wonder. He pulled his tongue back and began tracing a very specific shape across her folds.

"D," he stated when finished. Shego glanced up at him, her chest heaving for breath and a question in her eyes. He moved down again, slowly tracing another very deliberate shape. "R."

As he traced the letter A, he brought the tip of his tongue up to her firm and swollen clitoris, the touch there eliciting a pleasured cry from her lips. Her hips began rising and trying to meet his tongue that much faster, but he held her thighs down with the strength and pressure of his upper arms.

"Let me finish!" he insisted perhaps too harshly, but when their eyes met he saw a delirious pleasure there. And even more...she was smiling at him adoringly.

He felt something shift in his heart as he bent back to the task of spelling his name, claiming her as his now, no matter who had touched her in the past. And the way she had just looked at him... Was it just because he was bringing her physical pleasure? Or did she have feelings, just as he did?

He had scarcely finished the N when her body convulsed, her climax coming with repeated cries of his name as her legs trembled beneath his arms. He felt the shift in his heart again at the sound of his name on her voice, and he continued to wonder. But before he could give deeper presence to the thought her hands were under his arms and tugging him upward.

He moved with her until their chests were pressed together, his knees blessedly on the tails of the coat instead of in the grass, and Shego's legs locked around his waist, her heels pressing into his rear. His arousal was between them, pressing into her stomach as she was still gasping for breath, her sweat-dampened body warming his as he looked into her eyes. Her fingers were on the sides of his face as she stared up into his eyes. He smirked and broke the silence.

"Worth remembering yet?"

"Yes," Shego said breathlessly.

Drakken wanted to promise it would get better, but he couldn't. He moved his face down to her breast instead, her arms going around his back as he indulged in kissing the flesh he had struggled not to fantasize about.

"Come on!" Shego said a few minutes later, though her whimper that followed it as his teeth teased a nipple suggested she wasn't all that impatient over the situation. He repeated the action over her other breast and finally shifted into position.

Shego's fingers wove into his hair and Drakken felt hesitation himself as suddenly she was staring at him. What if she made fun of him? What if he was even less satisfying than—he forced away the hated name that came to mind—her past lovers? What if after they did this, they couldn't find a balance between them and she would quit and leave him? How was he even supposed to relate to her after this? Would they...become lovers?

He was suddenly left with no more time to think about it, as he felt her hand leave his hair and move down his back to grip his rear end. Her eyes were flashing, and he saw doubt building within the bright green orbs. In a split second he made the decision and followed the guiding of her hand, slowly pushing within her.

Shego gasped, her arms tightening around him as she hid her face in his shoulder. He could feel her thighs trembling already, but more he was overwhelmed by the tight friction that encompassed him, like electricity to his nerve endings with the slightest of movements. It wasn't until Shego began kissing his shoulder that he followed through on the instinct to move again, and before long they were moving together in a slow but steady rhythm, her hips rising to meet his thrusts.

His hands were gripping her shoulders, her silken hair the cushion for his face as he focused on the hot sensations below. Both of her hands had moved to his rear at one point, as he’d felt the grip of her fingernails, but her arms were tight around his back again and he could feel her panting breaths on his neck, broken by whimpers and moans of pleasure that sounded in time with each thrust.

"Oh, Drakken! Drakken!" her voice sounded in a desperate cry, and he turned just in time to meet her hungry kiss as her hips pressed more insistently against his.

He shifted to lean up on his elbows, continuing to kiss her as he quickened their pace. He became aware of the hardness of the ground beneath his knees, despite the barrier of the coat, and he wondered if being on the ground was hurting Shego. When he lifted his head to ask, the thought was eclipsed by a further awareness. The moonlight fell like silver around them, and after a quick, nervous glance around to be sure they were alone, his eyes fell to the woman beneath him. Her green skin shone almost teal under the blue of the moonlight, her sweat-slickened breasts heaving with his every thrust, and her eyes...staring up at him, were unreadable.

"Shego..." he breathed, realizing again with stark clarity just where they were, and what they were doing.

"Dr. D.," she interrupted, and he halted his movements—as much as possible, as he discovered that both his and her hips continued a small gyration regardless.

"Yes?" he gasped, brushing her hair from her face and trying to move the lengths of it so it wouldn't be as tangled after.

"Do you...have feelings for me?"

Drakken froze on the question. His hands moved back to her shoulders as he considered his answer. He knew he did... But he had been fighting to bury them, knowing she didn't and wouldn't ever have any for him. Except, now, considering where they were...

"Yes," he admitted, his gaze falling. But then he looked up with resolve. "Do you have feelings for me?"

It was Shego's turn to look uncertain. She glanced away several times, looking at his eyes in between. Her hands had moved to his shoulders, but as she took a deep breath she snaked them around his neck, she looked at him steadily. She nodded slowly.

"Yes..." she said, her voice soft and almost afraid. "Yes."

Drakken bent to kiss her, his heart flooding with warmth. She returned the kiss with a passion that had been absent before, and he wondered if it was their mutual admission that had changed things. He let himself be lost after that, in her kiss, in their intimate embrace, in the sensual rhythm of their bodies as they made love. He didn't know how much time passed, but he felt a tightening heat before he heard her begin to scream.

His name sounded from her lips repeatedly, and he slowed his thrusts slightly, kissing her breasts as she convulsed beneath him. Her throes of pleasure, coupled with the sudden increase in tightness spurred him to his own ending. She had just barely relaxed beneath him when he let his hips move solely on instinct, his thrusts rapid, and he realized with embarrassment that he now heard his own voice, grunting her name desperately amid the other incoherent and vulnerable sounds he was making.

He held her tightly as he reached his peak, gasping into her hair as she began peppering his cheek with kisses, and as control returned he continued slowly pushing into her, each small thrust making the pleasure linger as he realized that the new heat was a result of his emptying himself within her.

She was still kissing his cheek and his neck when he started to fall from the high, and he suddenly worried he'd made a grave mistake. This was Shego. His side-kick, his confidant...and he hoped, his friend. What would become of them now? She said she had feelings for him, but apparently not enough to stop him from...

Drakken realized in a flash that Carmella had left his mind entirely while he was there with Shego. Any thought he'd had of proposing to the candy villainess was gone completely. But...Shego had been going to let him do it? Even though she said she had feelings?

A strange, sick feeling came over him as he thought of Carmella, and he forced her from his mind. He held Shego closer and began kissing her face as she was his, hoping he hadn't just made the biggest mistake of his life. Because to lose Shego...was unthinkable.

Rather than communicate his concern, he showed her his feelings through kisses, over her face, her neck, her shoulders, always coming back to her lips where she met his affection warmly and with hums of happiness. It soothed his heart to hear the bliss in her voice, and to feel it in her return kisses. When he finally felt brave enough to look at her, her arms were still looped tightly around his neck, and her legs around his waist and rear. She was smiling smugly at him, but in her eyes was a settled peace that further calmed him.

He found himself without words as he stared at her, moving his fingers to brush her hair away from her eyes. Shego glanced away and cleared her throat.

"I'm...completely satisfied," she said with a blush.

Drakken suddenly realized she was referring back to his earlier questions about Dementor, and his brow furrowed. But before he could even consider what to say in response, Shego continued.

"I hope you are, too..."

There was uncertainty in her eyes behind the smile, and Drakken suddenly realized what she was thinking.

"I never slept with Carmella," he said, again feeling slightly ill at the thought of the woman, the same as he felt at the mention of Dementor.

Shego's brow shot up in surprise. "You didn't?"

He shook his head slightly, dipping down to kiss her neck in hopes of returning to the bliss and leaving all negative thought behind.

"No," he said simply, not wanting to think of either his would-be lover or Shego's drunken one-night stand. He resumed kissing her neck and let his thoughts come out freely. "I always had someone else on my mind..."

Shego pushed against his shoulder, and sudden fear struck him. What had he said wrong?

With great regret he moved away and sat up, but the feeling was erased as Shego moved with him, scarcely separating them until they found themselves in a new awkward position with her seated between his legs, wrapping hers around him again as she pressed her chest to his. Drakken felt the sticky wetness where their nether regions met and blushed as he mirrored her pose, holding her tightly. Her chin was on his shoulder, and he set his on hers, sniffing her hair which somehow still smelled of apples and sweetness despite now being tangled with bits of grass mixed in.

"'As long as you're mine...'"

The words were so soft Drakken almost hadn't heard them, but when he realized Shego had sung the line from the musical again his heart soared. All of his worries dissolved in that moment. They may not know what was ahead... They may scarcely have a handle on the present. But at least now, he knew...she didn't regret that night. And neither did he.

Drakken hummed decisively in response, and kissed her soundly. When they parted and he looked at her, he could see her shivering slightly despite her elated smile.

"Are you cold?" he asked.

"Mmh, not really," she said, her smile growing as she held him tighter. "But we should probably go home and get cleaned up."

Drakken couldn't withhold a small smirk. "Home?"

Shego looked startled and she blushed, but then she smiled in a strange mixture of shyness and annoyance as she tucked her head back onto his shoulder.

"Yes. Home."

Drakken was reluctant to let go of her, but he gradually released her from the embrace so they could start getting dressed. The absence of her from his arms was already painful and he found himself speaking ahead of his thoughts again.

"My bed is pretty big," he blurted out, watching Shego don her underwear as he continued to sit there.

Shego's brow rose, but he could tell by her smirk that she was pleased by the invitation.

"Another proposition already," she stated. "Moving a lot faster with me than you did with—"

Drakken had stood and now covered Shego's mouth with his hand, to her surprise.

"Don't talk about her. It's...always been you."

Shego's expression was awed as she stared at him, but when her brow started to furrow he realized he was still covering her mouth. He let his hand fall quickly and busied himself with getting dressed.

"Well... I have wondered if that ridiculous bed is justified."

Drakken was relieved by her words and the smirk on her face as she got back into her dress. He folded his coat over his arm once he reached that point, as it needed a thorough cleaning.

"Oh believe me... It is," Drakken answered. And as an afterthought to himself he said softly, "And it's about to get infinitely better."

"Okay. Then I accept," Shego said with a smirk. But the knowing smile in their eyes told him they were moving past the banter into something new.

He took her hand to place over his arm, but she snaked it around his waist instead and pressed into his side. He mirrored the action and smiled down at her as they walked to the hover car. And as Drakken allowed himself to settle into the happiness, he began softly humming the song again that he knew would be impressed upon his memory forever. When he reached the end of the chorus his lips parted to sing the only words he could remember, and Shego held him tighter as she again joined him on the telling lyric. Drakken's smile grew all the brighter.

"'As long as you're mine...'"
