Aizen stared into the mint green eyes of the lady in her arms, and seeing them turn misty at his silence, he saw right through her.
Slowly, he lowered his head and captured her lips before picking her up and throwing her on the bed.
Under her eyes, he took off his pyjamas, and her gaze lingered on his figure in desire.
He had grown a lot since the last time they slept together, and she was staring at him like a curious maiden now.
The Orayen Prince climbed over her, stole her lips after he settled himself between her legs, and then without any foreplay, he pushed himself inside her.
"Ahhh..." Juniper groaned in pain as he painfully filled her up, but she did not push him away.
Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.
Aizen himself did not realise how mad he had been at her for all these years, and he let it all out on her with his hard and deep thrusts.
It was painful for her, but soon she was secreting her love juices, and his movements became easier inside of her.
He then picked up the pace as the sound of the slapping echoed in the room, layered with his grunts and moans.
And he looked right into her eyes as she came undone under him.
"Give me a moment..." she pleaded when he did not stop.
"No."
Juniper moaned as her body spasmed again and again, and finally, to her relief, she felt him pulsating inside of her as he filled her womb with his seed.
She tightly hugged him on top of her when he pressed her under his weight and planted kisses on his ear and head.
The two remained silent for minutes to come, relishing the heat, and he stayed inside of her as he softened and then grew hard again, a feeling that she fell in love with.
Without a word, he started moving again, and she enthusiastically started replying to his thrusts, moaning near his ear like a succubus, driving him crazy.
He had missed her. He truly did, and even though he had prepared his heart to never have her again, he was relieved to have her in his embrace.
Aizen softly kissed her lips and cupped her cheek as he stared into her eyes and made love to her. And she scratched his back and moaned at the inexplicable pleasure and security that she felt in his arms.
She had always felt that she had taken advantage of him, but there was something irresistible about him even when he was only thirteen.
When she needed someone the most, when her life was just a bullet away from the gun of that Poacher or the swing of the concrete pillar of that man's Conkeldurr, it was Aizen who had saved her, fought that Pokémon on his own, and killed the Poacher.
And then he had carried her in his arms to her hut since she had sprained her ankle.
Juniper always shivered when she recalled that day. Her fate could have been worse than even death at the hands of that Poacher, and she only had her Stoutland with her, who was immensely tired after battling all the other Poachers and their Pokémon. Her Rusty was even shot...
She remembered how he had helped pull the bullet out of her Stoutland, helped it heal with his Aura Power...
He was so fascinating, so mysterious.
And overwhelmed by the day's emotions, she took him to her bed.
That evening, she took his innocence and gave him her innocence.
The next day, she was distraught at what she had done, guilty that she had taken advantage of him, ashamed of herself, but she failed to resist him and took him to the bed again and again.
She was older than him. He was not even less than half her age. She was twenty-eighth then, and he was thirteen.
Those four months he had stayed with her at the lab, helping her and her father with their research, were the most beautiful days of her life.
But she was scared.
He was a Prince, and she could not keep him to herself. Not to bind him to her, she always told him that she was just his friend with some benefits. She even tried to make herself believe those words.
And at the start, she did believe them and accepted their arrangement.
Alas, the day came when Cynthia visited the Laboratory to meet them, and then the Draegor took him away.
They stayed in touch, friends, really good friends.
She asked him for favours just to talk to him and always felt happy when he helped her out without any questions.
Only Aurea knew how excited she was last year when he had contacted her, asking her to talk to her friend, who was a Vulpix Breeder.
She hated taking favours from people, even if they were her good friends, but she did it for him. And it was all worth it when he had called her the evening he received his Vulpix and thanked her. She felt so happy, and even more so when she watched his Ninetales battle at the Indigo Conference.
It was not that she did not want to be there at the Indigo Conference, but she did not want to face the Sinnoh Champion, who had not spoken to her in nearly four years now.
She had lost a friend already, and she was worried her presence would ruin their joy...
And God knew how much she loved him and wanted to congratulate him on his victory.
It had taken all her efforts not to call him the same evening, but she had called him the very next evening, and her father had noted her silly smile as she chatted with him for over fifteen minutes.
Regrettably, he had to end the call because she heard everyone calling to him in the background, and her smile had ceased.
Now, he was finally here, back to her, and the moment she had laid her eyes on him, she knew she did not want to lose him again. She knew she had to come clean to him about her feelings.
"I love you." She whispered in his ear as he came inside her again, and she prayed to Arceus that his seed would take root.
Aurea giggled when he playfully ticked her belly, and soon her laughter resounded in the room.
The two made love to each other over and over again until she was very tired and slept like a baby in his arms.
When she woke up, it was late in the afternoon, and she was already awake, speaking to Joseph Stone on a call on the other side of the room.
Aurea covered herself in the white sheets as she stood up and looked outside the window, where Pokémon were playing on the grassy field next to the woods.
She smiled when she felt him wrap his arms around her from behind, but soon burned in a furious blush when her stomach grumbled out loud.
Aizen did not miss the opportunity to tease her and chuckled near his ear, and then picked her up as he led her to the bath.
There, he pressed her against the wall, took her from behind, but then, to her immense glee, filling her heart with sweetness, he carefully helped her wash and even shampooed her head.
She had a mild case of OCD, so she was unwilling to wear the clothes she had taken off in the morning, and Aizen was kind and considerate enough to go to her room to fetch her new clothes without her asking him to do it.
"I will take Hilda along with me to Kalos."
She was beyond excited when she heard his words, and had Sabrina not been present with them are the supper table, she would have pulled him into a deep kiss.
Later, in the evening, she and Sabrina went to the Town to buy some clothes for him, and she enjoyed shopping for him, something that her friend took note of.
"You never told me that you were his lover."
However, on their way back, when the Moonheart said those words to her, she nearly crashed her jeep.
"It is a secret," she could never lie to her friend, and honesty answered her.
To her relief, Sabrina did not ask any questions, but she did say something that made her feel both scared and relieved.
"You are not vain and a bad person, so it is okay."
"And if I was a vain or a bad person?"
"I would have made you forget about him with my powers."
Aurea stayed silent at her words, scared of her, but then sighed and opened her heart to her.
She told her how she has Cynthia were once good friends, and how much the Sinnoh Champion was mad at her over her relationship with Aizen.
"She is an Aura Master. It's not easy for them to forgive and forget. Their emotions run wilder than other humans, but Cynthia is an intelligent person, reasonable, and you should talk things out with her. If you are honest with her, as you should have been, she would not be so cold to you."
Her advice really made her think, and after they reached the lab, she quickly went to her room and paced around, trying to gather her courage.
In the end, after taking a deep breath, she made her decision and dialled a call to the Sinnoh Champion from her PokéNav+.
Her heart thumped hard when it was picked up, but the girl on the other end stayed silent.
"Hi, Cyn..."
