I Want One Lifetime “Can I possibly persuade you to throw propriety to the wind and stay the night?” The soft whisper against his lips, the warmth of her breath and the heady scent of perfume that clung to her sorely tempted him to do exactly what she suggested. She was a desirable, passionate woman and he had no doubt to linger much longer would be to throw caution to the wind and end up in her bed. “That would not be very clever, would it?” “Clever? Oh, I am inclined to think it would be deliciously scandalous and I would not give a fig for what anyone else thought.” Heero sighed, pulling back to gulp in air. He was stronger than this. It was his idea to start this and he had known he was playing with fire but he simply could not resist. Now he had taken a breath and he was not so close to her and he could think more clearly and he had to see to propriety, even if Relena did not wish to. She would regret any rash action taken in the heat of passion in the cold hard light of day. So would he. “I think I had best leave.” He hardly recognized the sound of his own voice. “I think to stay any longer would be a mistake.” “I hate formality and propriety and the ‘it’s just not done!’ mentality. I want to be like any other twenty-one year old woman who can love when and where her heart sees fit. I’m tired. I’m tired of being the centrepiece.” “I will do nothing to harm you and at this time staying here would. I want so much more than one night and if we did do something stupid that is all it would be. One night. I want one lifetime, Relena. One lifetime with you and a long and healthy, happy lifetime.” “I want the same thing but I look at Milliardo and I see what waiting gained him. He lost everything including love and I am terrified I will end up losing too. Peacecrafts don’t seem to have a great deal of luck when it comes to love.” “Then it is time we proved appearances wrong. I want to court you and do it all properly. I want nothing hurried for fear something will go wrong. We make our own future, our own fate. No one will persuade me to step back from courting you. I know who I am now and who I want to be in the future and I know who I want to stand beside me through all the long days of our lives. You are not your brother and I will never allow you to face the world alone.” Tears welled in blue eyes and in as courtly a manner as shaking limbs permitted he knelt and took her hand and brushed a feather kiss over her knuckles. “Good night, Relena.” End
