Story 8: Stunning

Author: MoonStarDutchess

Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist and gain no profit from this fanfiction other than much needed writing practice.

Warning: Slight mention of sex but nothing graphic. I don't think it warrants an M but if you are uncomfortable with a sexual "motion" then you might want to skip it. It's no more than what you'd read in a T rated novel.


His eyes drifted over her pale skin. He had every scar, every birthmark, and all her sensitive areas ingrained in his memory. He knew where to kiss to make her giggle, whimper, or moan in pleasure. Every time he had these quite moments, where Riza was sleeping while he was awake, he would look at her and marvel that someone like her existed and loved him.

He was amazed that he was capable of the love he held for the woman in his embrace. The small things, the moments like this with her always meant the most. She moaned and moved her head to rest on his chest, her small breaths stroking the skin with every exhalation. This was a true, but momentary, peace.

Every time he had these moments, he would commit the way she looked to memory. Her lips were red from their feverish kisses, the strands of hair spread over his chest and the pillow, and small marks dotted her neck, remnants of bestowments to the area.

When she moved, he knew it was a sign she was rousing from her sleep. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and yawned. She lifted her head from its resting place and gave him a sleepy grin before it fell into a neutral expression. "You all right?"

It was the first time she'd caught him during his morning studies of her. He cupped her face with his palm and stroked her cheek with his thumb. "I'm fine."

He kissed her and she pushed him on his back. His hands drifted down to her hips as she worked her mouth against him.

A few moments later, they pulled away from their kiss to catch their breath. She sat up, giving him full view of her bare body as the sheet fell away from her. He rested back and watched her as she lowered herself onto him and began moving.

Stunning. Yes, his wife was absolutely stunning.
