<b>Caught in the Middle Part 1</b>






There were days when the woman sitting behind the massive oak desk thought her job fruitless and unproductive. Days when her fingers could no longer stand the cramp from hours of writing her signatures on documents that blurred before her burning eyelids. Days when she came to realisation that she was probably the only woman in the world that spent her weekends going over contracts and meeting old, boring gentlemen for dinner instead of staying home cuddling with a lover on a sofa. Days when she wanted to scream and rip every hair from the roots of her tightly styled chignon. A knock on her door brought her head up and saved her from doing just so.

Her secretary?s dark head appeared between the small crack of the massive door. ?Miss Relena??

?Yes??

The dark-haired woman made a show of looking intently at her watch before glancing back up to frown in concern at the woman behind the desk.

?Miss Relena, it?s 11:30. Your escort for the night is waiting for you outside. Will you be staying longer??

Relena straightened her back and winced at the pain that shot through her whole body. God, she felt old. Really old. ?I?ll be right out, Elena. I just have to collect my stuff. Please tell Duo that I won?t be long.?

Elena started to protest then closed her mouth resolutely. She whispered her goodnight to her employer before closing the door with a soft click.




Heero Yuy rested a lean hip against a sturdy desk outside Relena?s office, his patience wearing thin and his anger not far behind. When did the woman ever rest? He resolved to speak to her about her working hours before he shook his head and grunted in self-annoyance.

Relena Peacecraft was none of his business.

Not ever since the night she had stood before him with vulnerable eyes and inviting mouth. Not ever since she had whispered his name in semi-darkness with a wistfulness and desire he had nearly been unable to resist. Not ever since she had asked him to take her. All of her. Body and soul. And she had declared her love for him. No, she was definitely none of his business. Not ever since he had turned away from what she had offered.

After his rejection of her, she had avoided him with a stubbornness that equalled his own will. Which was saying a lot. And when they did happen to meet, she had only spared him a cutting glance before doggedly ignoring his presence. It surprised him, the wounds he had collected from those indifferent glances and cold, polite smiles. And even more surprising, was the fact that his desire for her that he had hidden and tried to suppress only expanded so that it encompassed his will and became almost an obsession.

These days, he couldn?t bear looking at her without wanting to kiss her mindless.

The door to the office opened with a soft creak and Relena stepped out into the hollow hallway. Heero stiffened and masked his features deliberately. The frown that marred her brows made his gut tighten in both defence and anger. He knew what was about to come out of her beautiful mouth even before she said the words with a taint of impatience.

?What are you doing here??

?Shouldn?t that be obvious?? He straightened swiftly and claimed her briefcase before she could utter her reply. ?I?m taking you home.?

?Where?s Duo?? her voice held a measure of resignation and wariness.

?Taking the night off.?

?Why couldn?t someone else have come for me? Is everyone taking the night off now?? her irritation fuelled his own.

?It?s a little too late to call them now and ask them to come pick you up because you want to act like a child, Relena.?

They started walking down the hall to the elevator. Relena?s pace was swift and mechanical as she stayed ahead of Heero instead of enduring his presence beside her.

?I?m just trying to make it easier on the both of us. I think that?s actually very mature of me.?

Heero stared at her stiff back in consternation. ?How the hell are you trying to make this easier by acting like an immature brat??

They walked into the elevator. Relena pushed the button for the underground parking lot and leaned wearily on the right side of the corner.

?I don?t understand why you would want to be around me, Heero.? Her voice lost its hostility and gained a little more bitterness. ?Don?t you find it awkward to be around the woman who stupidly told you she loved you, tried to seduce you, and was rejected? Because I sure as hell find it awkward.?

And painful. So painful it made her throat ache and her eyes burn with unshed tears.

?I never rejected you.?

She fixed him with a wounded look. ?You don?t call walking out on a woman after she bares her soul for you, rejection??

?I never rejected you.?

She snorted disbelievingly in a very unladylike manner. But to hell with propriety when her heart wanted to burst out of her chest and collapse on the ground in a beautiful display of death. ?But you don?t want me.?

?I never said that.?

?You didn?t have to.? She retaliated. Then in an attempt to fire back with the same ferocity, ?It?s written all over that granite face of yours. Did your maker programmed you to act like a robot? Or did you come by that useful talent all on your own??

He snapped his head in her direction so fast that she heard the snap of the force. It was then she knew that she had made the biggest mistake of her life. If fire could burn inside robotic eyes like an inferno, it certainly would look very much like Heero?s eyes in those very moments.

?You think I?m a robot??

He moved with lightning speed and she pressed herself into her corner so hard so that the possibility of her phasing through to the other side might become possible. The run of the elevator protested and then hung suspended. Relena opened her eyes to view what had occurred only to find Heero?s face very close to her own. And the elevator at a pause.

She was alone in a miniscule little box with a furious robot. He heart accelerated.

His hands grasped her shoulders and all the anger he had managed to subdue earlier reinforced itself into his voice. ?You just have to keep pushing, don?t you? You don?t like my detachment? Fine. This should prove to you once and for all that I am not made of rocks nor am I a bloody robot.?

He hauled her body up against his solid form and kissed her. There was nothing robotic about the way his hungry mouth moved over hers. Nothing aloof about the powerful grip of his arms on her back as they pressed her forward into the heat of his body, nor was there any coldness in his blunt fingers as they tangled in her hair, detaching it from its former tight bun. And the taste of his tongue playing fire within her own certainly did not have the taste of steel. It was liquid and soft.

His unexpected display of temper had stunned her enough so that she hardly had time to react after he pulled her to him. Automatically, she raised her hands to ward him off but she became so caught up in his addicting feel and taste that the hands that were suppose to protect her instead betrayed her and tangled themselves about his neck.

Heero?s mouth kept opening over Relena?s. Restlessly, he slanted his lips over the fullness of hers, pulling at her mouth with a soft, hungry suction. Heero made a wordless sound of satisfaction deep in his throat when she imitated his actions eagerly. He pulled her ever closer into the heat of his hard thighs, moving his pelvis against her suggestively. Her hold on him tightened as she plunged her fingers into his thick hair. She arched against him just as he thrust into her heat forcefully. In the intimate closure, she felt his erection hard and hot against her stomach.

Murmuring soft sounds of excitement, she rose onto her toes, lifted her leg and hooked the hollow of her knee behind his tight butt, pressing his hips forward with her calf until the hot length of him was aligned to the pulsing hollow that throbbed between her legs. Heero groaned and kissed her harder, aroused nearly into a frenzy. His hard-won control over his own desires abandoned in the face of Relena?s unbridled passion. Carelessly and without thought, he slammed her up against the cool solid wall of the elevator and rocked against her with slow, mindless insistence.

?Heero??

She didn?t actually know what she had wanted to say. All she knew was that she had to give words to the maelstrom he had created with his heat inside her. But she couldn?t. She wouldn?t. Not again. Even in the face of the passion he had hidden so carefully. Lust was not love.

She forced her eyes open and her heart hard. She brought the palms of her hands against the solid wall of his chest that flattened her own and pushed as hard as the pain would allow to give her strength.

?Heero??

Dazed and more than a little bewildered, Heero released her mouth and met her eyes. ?Relena, I want you.?

Well, that was obvious. He had nearly driven her into a mindless frenzy of lust and heat with his arousal. Yeah, he wanted her. He wanted her body but not her heart. And that alone made all the difference in the world. She collected her composure and ran a hand to straighten her dislodged appearance.

?It?s not enough, Heero.? She answered without meeting his eyes. ?If I wanted a body alone, any man would do.?

Fury swept through him so swiftly that it was frightening. He lifted her chin up with a knuckle and forced her eyes to meet his. ?If I ever find out that any man had touched you, their blood would be on your hands, Relena.?

She gritted her teeth and snapped her chin out of his grasp. The arrogance of the bastard. ?If I ever find out that you?ve beaten Trowa Barton to near death, I?ll make sure that your blood would indeed be on my hands.?

?Trowa!??

Damn. She shouldn?t have revealed that little information just to rile him. She had succeeded all right. Beautifully. She started when the hum of the stalled elevator came to life again and broke the thick silence. She studied Heero?s face warily and saw that he had already placed his usual mask on.

The drive to the Peacecraft mansion was tense and filled only with the sound of the car engine running. Neither of them spared even a glance at each other much less fill up the silence that stretched like the Pacific Ocean between them. She would have given anything to know what was going through Heero?s elusive mind.

If she had been able to read him, perhaps she could have prevented the chaos that was about to erupt ahead of them. If she had been able to read him, perhaps she could have reasoned with him and saved a lot of people bloodshed. Because inside Heero Yuy?s mind, an obsessive rage brew and encompassed all reasoning. And a mantra played inside his head in a taunting rhythm.

<i>Trowa Barton was a dead man.</i>



<b>TBC...</b>




<b>Note:</b> It's a little unpredictable as to where this is going. We'll just see if it turns into humor or angst. Har.

No I think she just said Trowa to make Heero made and jelous and to try and make him realise that he loved her...I hope.
