Terra searched for any reason, a previous commitment, anything to get out of sleeping with Aqua. She was beautiful, but it was wrong. Disgust filled his stomach as she tugged gently on his hand, he found his answer. "Aqua, this is what Ven was talking about, I love you, and am willing to be open about it, but we should wait awhile. You know? So we know its right and all. I don't think any noise coming out of my door would help keeping it on the down low." Terra took his hand away from hers. "I guess what I was trying to say last night was that we should only see each other romantically at night, in the mean time."

She nodded, "it makes sense, I'm sorry, but I find it hard to keep my hands off you." Aqua touched his thigh again, "but I guess a few hours of separation wouldn't be so bad." She sighed, "You should probably go put a shirt on." Her cold fingers wrapped around his and touched the scabs. He flinched from her touch.

"Right, I'll get on that. I'll have a shower and be down in a bit." Terra left his plate on the counter and rushed out of the kitchen. He couldn't ask the Master without admitting what he'd done to Aqua. He was on his own for the mean time, until he could figure out someone to confide in.

As he turned the facet, the creaking of the pipes produced the hot steamy water he desired. Maybe that was all he needed, to mull things over in his favorite place. His clothes slid off his body, and he stepped under the stream. As the heat filled his body with warmth, he tried to piece things together, "The last thing I remember…" he closed his eyes and turned his face up to the falling water. "Nothing, it's all blank!" he made a fist and hit the tiles of the shower wall, slicing his knuckle from the plaster. For a moment, he allowed his rage to seethe…

He opened his eyes several hours later, immediately aware that something wasn't right. He was in her bed this time, sitting up and leaning against the wall. She was nowhere in sight. The door opened, and Aqua's dainty footsteps echoed in his mind. "It wasn't in your desk, but I found one in your bed-side table." She reached into her pocket and produced a condom. She tossed it at him, and he caught it and fidgeted with it. "Something the matter?" She asked as peeled off her top.

'I'm going to have to go through with this, aren't I?' He asked himself. He cleared his throat, "Would you rather watch a movie? Or maybe go to dinner?"

She laughed, "I suggested that, and you ripped off my shorts and…well," she blushed, tailing off.

"Did what?" He teased with narrowing eyes. 'Why did I say that?' He mouth opened slightly, and then closed again. Terra found it slightly adorable that she was embarrassed by her own body, and at the same time, he actually wanted to know what he had done. "Fine, well… I guess I'll just, go back to my own room." It was like he was on autopilot, as he said these things, he couldn't stop himself. It was like he was watching himself interact from the inside of his mind. He began to slide off her bed when she reached out and grabbed his arm.

"You… Well, first you licked me," She pushed him down and lowered herself to his waist, "Like this." She traced her tongue along this invisible line from one hip to the other. "And then… you rubbed my clit, sort of like this." She undid his pants, and withdrew his cock. Taking two fingers, she placed them first in her mouth, and then on his shaft. "Then you licked me, kind of like this," She licked the tip of his member, repeatedly. It all drove him wild, he ran her fingers through her hair, and finally, having had enough of being teased, he forced her head down. Her mouth engulfed him; she pulled away, and coughed. "You're too big for me to not gag."

He opened the condom wrapper, and unrolled it down his shaft. "I hope I'm not too big for you to fuck." He watched from behind his own eyes as Aqua lowered herself onto him, completely helpless. It felt amazing physically, but also filled his with disgust. He held her hips as she thrust and pulled away, mesmerized by her movement, the shape of her body, and look in her eyes.

'This is wrong' He thought, but every inch of his physical body was enjoying itself. He was mad at himself for not being able to be in control. As he let his rage for himself fill his being, the darkness that once led him to evil, escaped and consumed him. He grabbed Aqua and flipped her over, then took her legs and wrapped them around his neck. She moaned through clenched teeth as he thrust deep inside her. "Not so hard." Again, through clenched teeth. He tried to slow down, but he had no control.

She reached up her arms and her nails tore into his skin as they slid down his arms. He took her legs and wrapped them around his waist. Then he lowered his mouth onto her neck. His teeth encased her skin, she moaned again. He felt her pussy tighten with an orgasm, her fingers clutched the sheets, and her eyes closed with pleasure. When he finally came, she had orgasmed twice more, and each time, she repeated digging her fingers into the bed. He removed the condom and tossed it in the trash by her bed, careful to wrap it in a tissue first.

He leaned back into her arms, and fell into a cozy delirium. Slowly, he regained control, and realized what he needed to do. "Aqua, we need to talk…"

"If you just fucked me, and are now going to break it off with me, I will jag stomp you in the balls with the stilettos I have in my closet." She said casually.

"No, not at all," he flinched from the image, "So you know how I've been acting strange lately…" She said nothing, so he continued. "Well, I… I never really got the darkness in my heart under control."

"You lied to the Master?" she pulled away from him, and looked right into his eyes.

He sheepishly turned away, embarrassed by his actions, "I learned how to conceal it from him and everyone else, so I figured it was as good as gone. Aqua, I fucked up, and now this darkness inside me is taking over."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, there are points where I slip out of consciousness and my body is like… a puppet to whatever is inside me." Terra gripped his hair and sighed, "I don't know what to do. If I tell Master Eraqus, he'll end my training, and if I don't… I might lose myself forever…
