Author's notes, apologies, and comments again: *phew* It took FOREVER to finish this one up, and I don't think it runs nearly as smoothly as Heart of Stone does. This is the, sort of, sequel to Heart of Stone, but you really don't have to read HoS in order to understand what's going on here. I couldn't have done this without the encouragement of Dani-chan, Nicole, and my friend starr. Blame them for this if you have to blame someone. ^^ Once again I'm sorry if the style is a little rough, but as I said in HoS, I have absolutely no personal experience with which to base this on. I either have a very over active imagination (which is true), or some of those books I've read over the years have actually stayed with me. Side note to any of my friends (you guys know who you are) who may read this, please keep the prayers for my soul down to a minimum. I assure you I'm fine. ^_~ This story has also gone the way of the P?WP? way (Plot? What Plot?), more's the pity. Comments and criticism (offers of marriage, offers of money, offers of fanart not just for this piece but any of my other pieces ^^) are more than welcome. Flames will, as always, be trashed. You can reach me at akent2@freewwweb.com or the_waystation@yahoo.com. Take your pick, but I recommend my yahoo addy. Look for Heart of Gold, the next installment of my hearts series, coming sometime (can't tell you when, I have some other fics and papers to finish up first). Until Next Time!


It had been two days since Lina and Gourry had returned to their snow covered campsite, and Lina was about ready to climb the walls of the tent she and Gourry now shared, thanks to Zel and Amelia's little get together. To make matters worse, Zel and Amelia didn't know that Lina and Gourry were back, and so didn't try to dampen their enthusiasm for their new found way to keep warm. Lina felt her cheeks redden at the thought of what those two were doing. If only there wasn't any snow on the ground, then she could go out and toast some bandits and work off some of this frustration. It didn't help that Gourry was sleeping in the same tent as she was, either. She wasn't about to make him sleep outside in the snow, she wasn't that cruel, but lately being near the tall blond caused funny feelings to stir in her heart, and she was about to go crazy.

Lina jumped as the object of her thoughts suddenly put his hand on her shoulder.

"What's wrong, Lina?" Gourry asked, concerned by the way Lina had been staring at the tent walls for the past hour.

"Nothing, Gourry. Just thinking, that's all," Lina replied, not about to tell him what she had been thinking about.

"Oh, ok. Do you need to talk or anything?"

Lina blinked at the swordsman, stunned that he had even asked. Of course, Gourry was perceptive in his own way, it just took him longer to process what he had observed.

"No Gourry, but thanks," Lina answered, and Gourry nodded his head and laid down on his sleeping bag. Soon his breathing evened out as he fell asleep.

Lina gazed at her blond companion as she tried to figure out what was wrong with her. Her eyes roamed over his well built frame, only now appreciated just how beautiful Gourry was. He had discarded his armor in favor of his blue jumpsuit, and the way the suit molded to his body left very little to the imagination. Lina reddened again, and turned away from Gourry's sleeping form. However, an idea began to worm it's way into her brain, and no matter how hard she tried to smash it, it just kept coming back.

Lina finally sighed, and let the thought crash through her brain. The more she thought about it, the more she liked it, the more she grinned. It would be a great way to relieve boredom, that's for sure!

Making sure that Gourry was still asleep, Lina began to put her plan into action.

Gourry was aware that it had gotten a bit warmer, and somewhere in his sleep fogged mind he wondered if Lina had put a heat spell over the tent. He was also vaguely aware of a distant humming noise, and in order to identify it, he was going to have to wake up. Gourry slowly lifted his eyelids, and saw Lina sitting cross legged a little ways away from him, brushing her hair. She was the source of the humming noise he had heard, for she was humming a little song under her breath. Gourry took a few seconds to study her face, because she had it turned a little away from him, and he didn't think she knew he was looking. She really was pretty, he mused, with those large, ruby colored eyes and her flame red hair. A wistful smile curved her lips, and Gourry found himself wondering what she was thinking about.

Lina raised the brush, and ran it through her hair again, and Gourry found his eyes following the movement of the brush as it traveled through her long expanse of hair. His body suddenly went cold with shock, and then it heated up again, because he only now noticed that Lina wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing, and the only thing that was offering her any amount of decency was that long, red hair. She had pulled it over her shoulders in a way that it covered her breasts and hung down into her lap. Gourry knew he was now in trouble. Lina probably thought he was still asleep, and had taken advantage of it to clean herself up a bit. She apparently didn't know he was now wide awake, and trying to figure out just how he was going to get out of this one.

Lina giggled silently to herself. She had been watching Gourry this whole time out of the corner of her eye, and she knew very well that he was wide awake. If he didn't watch it, his eyes were going to pop right out of their sockets. Lina suppressed a grin, and moved some of her hair so that she could brush out a particularly stubborn tangle, exposing a little more of her flesh to Gourry's wide eyes.

Oh L-sama, what was he going to do? Gourry couldn't tear his eyes away from Lina as she continued to brush her hair, each movement exposing, and then hiding, her body from him. He'd had no idea that Lina was that well built. Sure, she was small, but she was so well proportioned that she didn't really appear small. Oh man, if Lina knew he had been watching her, he was dead! In desperation, Gourry closed his eyes again, then began to make sounds like he was waking up, hoping that Lina would take the time he was giving her to get dressed. He listened for the sound of clothing being hastily tossed on, but it never came.

"Awake yet, Gourry?" a voice purred in his ear, and Gourry jerked upright with a startled squeak, staring at Lina who had turned to face him fully, her hair still resting over her shoulders.

"I didn't see anything!" Gourry cried, covering his face with his hands.

Lina giggled at him, and leaned forward, taking one of his hands in hers and moving it from his face.

"But I want you to see," she whispered.

"Lina, what are you doing?!" Gourry asked, a little panicked.

"Something," she said, her voice husky, "That I should have done a long time ago."

Lina couldn't believe that she was going this far, but it was to late to back down now. She was swept away with her emotions, feeling bold and confident in her decision. Besides, she loved Gourry, she just never really knew how to show it. She reached out and took his other hand away from his face, and gazed into his blue eyes.

"Lina, I," Gourry began to say, only stopped when she put her finger against his lips.

"Gourry, I . . . really care for you," Lina said haltingly. "but it's difficult for me to say so."

"You just said so now, didn't you?" Gourry asked, confusion darkening his eyes.

"I guess so," Lina answered, "but I can tell you much better another way."

"How's that?" Gourry asked, blinking and looking utterly confused.

Lina smiled, reached out, and grabbed a fistful of Gourry's hair, using it to reel him in closer.

"Lina, wha...," Gourry began, only to be silenced as Lina's warm lips came to rest over his, and his entire voice box froze up. Lina furrowed her brow, and leaned back, blinking when she saw the look on Gourry's face.

"Gee, Gourry, you look like a bandit caught in one of my fireballs," she giggled, and returned her mouth to it's original position.

Gourry's brain slowly began to work, and it kept saying, "Lina's kissing me Lina's kissing me, and she's not wearing a thing!" He didn't know what to do or to make of Lina's mood. On one hand, he could just enjoy the fact that the redhead was kissing him. On the other, he was afraid that if he made the wrong move, she'd Dragon Slave him all the way back to Saillune. So he did the only thing he could really think of. He didn't move at all. At least, he didn't until Lina began to kiss along his jaw line and he felt his body react. That's when he brought up his hands and placed them on Lina's bare shoulders.

"What is it, Gourry?" Lina asked as he moved her slightly away from him.

"Look, Lina, if you don't stop and put some clothing on, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my control," Gourry said, his eyes serious.

"But I don't want to stop," Lina whispered, her voice growing husky as Gourry unconsciously flexed his hands on her shoulders.

"I don't think...," Gourry began, only to be interrupted by Lina saying, "Gourry, just hush. The one time I don't mind you not thinking, and you're trying to think to much. What I think, is that you're overdressed."

So saying, and before Gourry could even react, Lina grabbed the edge of his blue sweatshirt, and yanked it off over his head. She then splayed her hands over his chest.

"Wow, Gourry, I had no idea just how well built you actually are," Lina breathed, running her hands over the swordsman's chest.

Gourry reached out, and gently laid a hand against Lina's cheek. "Now you know," he whispered, then asked, "Lina, are you sure? I mean, really sure?"

In answer, Lina leaned forward and kissed him. "I'm sure."

Gourry no longer hesitated, but wrapped his arms around Lina and crushed him to her. He began to run his hands lightly up and down her back as Lina kissed him once again, then began to nibble along his jaw bone. Gourry sighed as he turned his head and met Lina's lips with his own once again. He brought a hand up and cupped the back of Lina's head, slanting his mouth over hers and deepening the kiss. He gently ran his tongue along Lina's bottom lip, and she opened her mouth to let him in, moaning softly as he made a thorough sweep of the inside of her mouth.

Gourry couldn't help but let out a bit of a startled grunt as Lina began an intimate duel with her tongue against his, but that didn't stop him from enjoying it. He moved his hands from the back of Lina's head down to her shoulders, and began to gently stroke the skin along her collar bone. Lina sighed as she felt her blood begin to heat up, and her skin become super sensitive. After a few more moments of kissing, Lina became impatient with Gourry's hands just touching the skin on her back and shoulders, and caught one of his hands in hers. She leaned back and brought his hand down until it it rested just above her right breast. Gourry met Lina's expectant, fiery eyes, and began to gently knead the skin above her breast, slowly bringing his hand down until it engulfed her breast, eliciting a sharp gasp from her as even more liquid fire heated her veins.

Feeling a bit bolder from Lina's reactions, Gourry gently pinched Lina's nipple and began to roll it between his thumb and forefinger. Lina's response was sudden and surprising. She let out a soft scream of pleasure, and began to attack Gourry's neck and shoulders with her tongue and teeth. She grabbed two fist fulls of Gourry's long, blond hair, and brought her mouth down to his in a kiss that put one of her fireballs to shame. Lina began to feverishly run her hands up and down Gourry's chest for a few moments, before running them down to the bulge in Gourry's pants. Gourry's back arched as a harsh gasp escaped his lips, and Lina smiled smugly, feeling empowered by her affect on him.

Wanting to give Lina some of the same pleasure that he was feeling, Gourry leaned in and began to nibble the skin of Lina's breast, carefully massaging the other one with his hand. Lina's hands twisted in Gourry's hair, and he answered her silent plea by taking her nipple into his mouth, and biting down gently at the same time he pinched the other one between his fingers again. Lina groaned and began to work at the fastenings on Gourry's britches, whispering, "I think you've over dressed."

Gourry stopped his attentions to her breasts, and looked at her. "I think you're right," he whispered back. Lina didn't waste any time, but set to Gourry's pants with a will, and had them off in record time. She then stared at the male flesh that had been bared to her eyes, and felt a few small misgivings. He was huge! But.....

Gourry followed her line of vision, and blushed. He opened his mouth to say something, only to have the air leave his body in a rush as Lina's eager hands suddenly grasped him and began to caress along his length. "L-Lina," he managed to grate out through clenched teeth, causing Lina to laugh smugly.

"You're beautiful, Gourry," Lina breathed.

"G-guys aren't supposed to be beautiful," Gourry replied, replacing his hands on Lina's breasts and resuming his massage. He the began to move his hands slowly down Lina's body, moving them in small circles that heated her flesh where he touched. He began to nibble on her delicate throat, while Lina ran her hands through Gourry's thick, luxurious hair. Her hands suddenly convulsed and fisted when Gourry touched her hot core, and she let out a soft scream as he began to move his fingers.

"Oh, L-sama Gourry, that's....." Lina's voice trailed off on a squeak as Gourry slowly fit a finger into her, and she felt her entire being focus on that finger as he began to gently move it inside of her. Her muscles began to tremble with her desires as Gourry slowly slipped a second finger inside of her, continuing his assault on her throat. Lina began to squirm against him, her movements bringing her thigh into contact with his hardness, eliciting a groan from Gourry's throat.

"Gourry, please," Lina begged, not fully understanding what she was asking, only knowing that she was close to something, and wanting with all her being to reach that something.

Gourry removed his fingers from her, and kissed her, slanting his mouth over hers in a way that Lina was momentarily robbed of her senses. She moved around in his lap until she was straddling him, and ran her hands up and over his shoulders. Gourry smoothed his hands down along the arch of her back, before gently cupping her rear and lifting her up against him. Lina gasped and tilted her head back when she felt him gently nudging at her threshold. Gourry leaned in and bit her lower lip as he gently lowered Lina's tight channel over him, groaning at how hot and wet she felt. He felt himself come to some kind of barrier, and halted, not knowing what to do.

"Lina?" he asked, giving the sorceress a confused look.

Lina was gritting her teeth at the aching sensation that had invaded her loins, and barely heard Gourry whisper her name. She glanced at him, saw the confused look, and knew with a certainty that nearly caused her heart to burst that she was his first, the same way that he was hers. She sucked in a breath, and sat down hard on Gourry's lap, bitting her lip and drawing blood with an effort to not cry out in pain, while tears pooled in her eyes.

Gourry was trying to adjust to the warmth of Lina's passage and the feeling of being inside her, when he noticed the tears that were shining in Lina's eyes. Worried, he gently touched her cheek.

"Are you alright?" he asked, his blue eyes full of an emotion that Lina couldn't decipher.

"I'm fine, just give me a minute," Lina whispered, refusing to let the tears of pain fall. She took a deep breath, and released it as the pain began to ease, only to be replaced with an aching fullness that she had never experienced before. Her eyes filled with wonder, and she experimentally wiggled her hips, drawing a groan from Gourry.

"Lina, I can't...," Gourry began, then locked his hands on Lina's rear, slowly lifting her off of him and bringing her back in a controlled thrusting motion that nearly sent Lina's mind into low orbit. Lina locked her ankles around Gourry's waist, and began to move some on her own, speeding up the thrusting motions while her short finger nails dug into the muscles on Gourry's shoulders. Gourry's hands tightened on Lina's rear, while he began to thrust forward against Lina's forward thrusts, creating a pleasant friction as Lina's hardened nipples brushed against Gourry's chest. The began to thrust faster and faster, while their breathing began to come in short gasps. Lina suddenly stiffened as her muscles began to clench even tighter around Gourry's shaft. Wanting Lina to reach that pinnacle before him, Gourry ran on finger between the twin globes between Lina's rear, and touched her hot core.

Lina let out a shocked scream of release as her entire body seemed to shatter and her muscles began to convulse, causing Gourry to climax with the feeling of her muscles clenching over his shaft. His back stiffened and his mouth open as he groaned out loud, before collapsing backwards with Lina sprawling bonelessly over his chest. Gourry wrapped his arms around her back, while she leaned up and gently kissed him on the chin. He made a move as if he were going to slide out of her, but she clenched her legs to keep him place. He looked up at her in surprise, and blinked at Lina's soft smile.

"I love you, Gourry," Lina whispered, before gently falling asleep on his chest, with him still resting inside her.

"I love you, too, Lina," Gourry replied, knowing she hadn't heard him, but also knowing that he could tell, and show, her again when she woke up. He drifted off to sleep with a soft smile of his own, his small, flame haired sorceress with the heart of fire held in his arms.


Amelia jerked her head over in the direction of the other tents, only tilting her head slightly as Zel's lips moved up the side of her neck.

"What is it?" the chimera asked after taking a gently bite out of Amelia's skin, and licking the red marks his teeth had made.

"I thought I heard a scream from the other tent. Do you think Lina and Gourry are back?" she asked, then moaned as Zel teased her nipples.

"I know they are. They've been back for a while," Zel replied, and grinned at Amelia's shocked gasp.

"You mean they've been listening to us while we.....we......" Amelia couldn't seem to finish her sentence.

"Made love? Yep," Zel chuckled.

"How did you know they were back?" she wondered in a pause between pettings.

"I have a sharp sense of hearing, love," Zel replied.

"Why didn't you tell me they were back?" Amelia demanded.

"I thought that they could benefit from some time alone to help them realize their feelings for each other," Zel chuckled again.

Amelia twisted about so that she could face her lover, and kissed him on the lips, saying, "You're a very naughty boy, Zelgadis. I think that all this is going to your head."

"Which one?" Zel smirked, eliciting a giggle from the princess as they both turned their attentions back to the pleasurable task of getting warm.

End.

Last note: Is it just me, or is this the first full blown Gourry/Lina lemon? Maybe I've just been living under a rock for to long... ^^
