As he slept, Jarlsboris Wildfall found his mind drifting back over the years, seeing half remembered faces drifting in and out of the darkness.

Mostly though, his unconscious mind settled on the image of Honorburg, the shining futuristic city, which served as his home for only a few months before he and Summer got up in.. oh but that was later in the story.

As he slept though, it seemed like Wildfall could see even the little details from memory of the city. The part they stayed in had signs from a half dozen languages. Wildfall muttered to himself, "Hey Mary, you have to see..."

Mary Kate?! Wait... he hadn't yet met Mar...

No, he hadn't, but as soon as he remembered her, the nightmarish memories started. . .

** -- **

Mary returned to the room to check on Wildfall, still pondering the meeting she'd just had with a strange neko named SnowCatCuties. Mary wasn't sure what to think of that woman and didn't trust her one bit. "What's that woman up to and what does Honorburg and that name Sarah have to do with her?" puzzled Mary.

Mary walked over to Wildfall, heard him muttering to himself and leaned down to hear him call her name. Mary shook him and said, "Jarlsy what's wrong? Are you ok?"

As she leaned forward, Wildfall popped up out of a dead sleep. Unfortunately, that brought his skull in direct contact with hers as she leaned down, sending them both backwards.

Wildfall hit Mary's head hard enough to knock her off her feet and on her behind. "Ouch! That hurt!" said Mary, not knowing whether to first rub her head or her behind.

"Ow!" Wildfall whined, holding his head as he plopped back in bed. "What just happened?"

"What's wrong and why were you calling for me?"

"Urrgh," moaned Wildfall, closing his eyes again. "What are you talking about? I was sleeping.. I think.."

"Well, when I walked in, you were muttering in your sleep and I leaned down when I heard you call my name," Mary told him, still rubbing her head. "That's when you bolted up and hit me in the head and I ended up on the floor. Nice way you have of greeting me." Mary started to chuckle.

"Oh," Wildfall said, half listening. He lazily opened one eye. "Why're you on the floor?"

Mary started laughing and repeated what she had just told him as she got up off the floor.

"Oh.." Wildfall paused. "Why are you on the.. just kidding, don't headbutt me again!"

Mary glared at him. Wildfall just flashed that charming smile of his. Always was hot enough to melt a glare, and it worked like usual. "I hope ya didn't spend the whole time sittin' here watchin me have nightmares."

"No, I was just thinking about one I had and it scared me half to death." Mary explained to him, "I, I dreamed that you were injured and I couldn't get to you, I screamed your name and the next thing I knew was that you were holding me in your arms." Mary trembled as she recounted her dream to Wildfall.

Wildfall sat up, feeling a bit cold. Suddenly awash in recent memories. "Ohh.. I remember you having a nightmare.. ya poor thing. I musta been half asleep meself there.. Sure.. do hope I, um, behaved myself."

"Well unless you call you kissing me misbehaving, yes you behaved. Let me finish. . . . I woke up in your arms and I looked up at you and you kissed me." She asked, "Is that misbehaving?"

"Hmmm.. I think I remember that.. was it something like.. " Wildfall started to ask. He let his voice trail off as he leaned in to kiss her gently on the lips again.

Mary threw her arms around him and returned the kiss just as gently, just a bit hesitant. Afraid to give him the wrong impression, she nevertheless wanted to let him know she had feelings for him beyond that of just a friend.

But she could see the desire in his eyes for her. She could feel the way he kissed her more forcefully with every passing second.

Mary felt a warm feeling overtake her body and her heart began pounding as Wildfall's kiss got more passionate. She returned the kiss as passionately as his and began to move closer to his body, feeling his manhood pressing against her body. Mary suddenly knew she wanted to go farther with this than just a kiss.

He briefly broke the kiss; that's when she noticed he was blushing, heavily. Breathing faster. Like her. When he pulled her body tighter against his own, it felt to him, just for a second, like they were already naked. That's how good she made him feel, just from a kiss.

Mary noticed his bare chest for the first time, ran her hands over him. Feeling the muscles in his bare chest responding to her touch, she kissed him more passionately, pressing her body tighter to his. The warmth from his body made her feel like she was on fire and would explode. His hands were all over her. Wildfall kissed her neck tenderly, undoing the top button on her shirt, wanting easier access to her neck. Taking that as a signal, Mary reached up and started unbuttoning the rest of her shirt as she kissed his bare chest, passion mounting in Mary. Wildfall leaned back as she did, surprised by her eagerness as she unbuttoned her shirt and it slipped open.

Mary looked at Wildfall and with passion in her eyes she slid her blouse off to expose her breast band which she removed to allow full view of her well developed breasts and her erect nipples. She looked so young, but she clearly wasn't a kid anymore. With the band removed, Mary leaned in closer to him and rubbed her breasts against his bare chest. The heat from both their bodies made Mary even more passionate as she reached down to undo Wildfall's pants.

Startled, almost finding himself reaching for hers, Wildfall instead stopped himself, grabbing her hands, pulling them upwards. He took in the full view of her half naked body for a moment.

She wasn't a kid anymore, but she looked so young still. "Hey, honey, maybe we should slow it down a little?"

"Why, what's wrong? Don't you want me?" Mary felt her cheeks start to burn from embarrassment.

"Well, yeah.." Wildfall paused, stammering. "I mean I don't.. It's just we're starting to move a bit too quickly, don't you think?"

Mary felt her temper rising as she opened up on him. "You said we're moving too fast but you wouldn't feel that way with all the other women you've been with!" Mary stopped to catch her breath and then continued, "I may be young, but I have the same feelings that every woman does but obviously I am not good enough for you."

Wildfall blushed, withering under her assault. "Who do you think I've been with, anyway?! Besides," he said. Feeling daring, he pressed his chest into her still bare breasts, tingling as he felt her body pressing back. "I'm just trying to stop you from making a mistake you'll regret. I thought you trusted me!" He smiled a bit. "Besides, I didn't say we had to totally stop."

"Jarlsy, I do trust you, but I love you and I want you to be my first. What do you mean we don't have to totally stop?" Mary replied with a questioning look on her face.

"Your.. first?" Wildfall repeated, eyes wide. "Wow.. I mean, I'd just like to.." With that, he leaned in and kissed her again.

Mary returned the kiss passionately and nuzzled against his bare chest. "Yes, I am still a virgin, does that surprise you? I have loved you for years and when I saw you again, I knew I wanted you to be my first. Please don't make fun of that," Mary told him as she looked up into his eyes. "You were right to stop us because it should be more special than this if you understand what I mean even tho I might not totally understand myself."

"I want you so bad," Wildfall admitted. "But I want it to count. I don't want another incident like.. " He let his word trail off, kissing her forehead tenderly. It was true, though, he could still feel the desire for her burning in his chest. Like really sexy heartburn.

Mary felt so loved at that moment and said, "Thank you for not making fun of me and I'll wait for you till you say the time is right for us to continue this." Mary grinned a quirky flirty grin and continued, "because it will continue."

Wildfall hugged her tight, sighing a bit. "Plus, kiddo, it sounds like we probably should get some business with the Council, huh?"

"Yes, I think you're right," Mary replied as she started to get dressed.

Wildfall gently put a hand on her wrist, smiling nervously. "Too late, I already saw them. Besides, we've got time before we have to go out. Um.. right?"

Mary smiled as she dropped her blouse and breast band. "Yes, Jarlsy, you're right." She nodded, snuggled up against him and kissed him deeply and passionately.

This is a piece I'm especially proud of since it gives us a new insight and takes the relationship to a new level. It was probably overdue, too!

Voter Ichiro complimented both the passion and pacing of this piece. Voter comments on Mary applaud her as the character starts to come out of her shell this mission. This is one of many good examples of that. As you can see, the relationship between these two is complicated - and it's about to get a lot moreso soon! Before it does, we've got our first Snow solo up next!
