Helluva Boss Codename Ghost

The next step

"So now that we're done for today, what shall we do for the rest of the night?" I asked.
Loona was drinking some water to replenish after the move. She looks at me, her tail twitching slightly.

"I have an idea," she says. "How about we christen the house?" she says provocatively.

"I see." She sets the bottle down, making her way to me. She puts her arms around my neck, kissing me...
Another hour after we...relaxed. We're in the jacuzzi together with the pizza box on the floor and a glass of wine in our hands.

"This is what we needed," she sighs, sinking into the water "perfect." She takes a sip.

"I know it's nothing compared to... where I lived before, but this is ours, and I hope it makes you happy."

"I understand why you gave it up," she says, finishing her glass and placing it on the counter of the tub.
"This is my first place of my own, and it's miles above where I thought someone like me was going to end up."

"Yeah... I know the feeling." She takes her piece biting into it while I do the same.

"My first place on earth was a shithole, I was there for only a few weeks before more red flags showed and I opted out, the last place I was at I was there for ten years before I got here".

I take her legs in my hands, rubbing her calves and feet, and she sinks deeper into the water sighing in contentment.
"How's it feel?".

"You're great with your hands."

"I love you."

"I love you too," she says. She places her glass on the edge of the tub, moving across the water till she's resting her body on top of my chest. I stroke the side of her face with my hand. She leans into my touch, sighing contentedly as I move my hand through her silver hair.

"I look at you, and I'm still blown away by how beautiful you are."

"I look at you, and I ask myself what I did in life to get a gift like you?" she says.

"You gave me a chance."

"No, you were my choice."

"Never forget that you're the most beautiful woman in the world."

"And you're the greatest guy I've ever met, and you're all mine."

"Damn right, I am."

She slips her hand under the water, running her hand along my groin." So is this." she says, she straddles me, kissing me. "Only mine"..

.....
A few days later.

Loona tosses and turns in bed after a few hours of being unable to sleep she groans softly sitting up rubbing her face. The clock on her nightstand read 12 am.
She looks over at him sleeping next to her. Unlike her, He had no trouble getting to sleep especially after the hour period where they had sex. She smiles at him and reaches out for him just to touch him, to make sure he is still here and hasn't packed up and left while she wasn't looking. But thought better of it wanting to let him sleep. Carefully she takes herself out of bed and heads out of the bedroom.

Unconsciously in my sleep my arm stretches out to reach for her body to pull her back to me again, her side is empty causing me to slowly wake up. I push the sheet off me and get up stretching. I go out to the living room she's sitting on the windowsill the lights from the cars below and the surrounding areas flash against her nude form. She's looking out the glass forlorn she wipes a tear from her eye.

"Loona," I say softly trying not to scare her.
She looks over at me and smiles.

"Hey..did I wake you". Her voice sounded cracked.

"Don't worry about me. Why are you out here?".
She looks down avoiding my eyes another tear rolls down her face. I go over to the windowsill sitting behind her I wrap my arms around her bringing her closer to me.
"Please don't cry baby. I'm here".

"Promise?".

"I promise".
She grabs onto me tightly.

"Please don't let me go". She says her voice is small.

"What makes you think I would?".

"It's still my first time away from home. I'm trying to get used to everything and not seeing the familiar sights in Blitz's place makes this place even bigger and me even smaller.
Every time I close my eyes I'm still having nightmares about the orphanage. I'm scared that none of this, you and I are real, that you aren't real and it's all a dream. And if this is real that soon you'll realize that I'm not worth all this and one night we'll go to sleep together and I'll wake up and you'll be gone".
More tears come.
"Please don't give up on me. I'm trying I swear".

"I'm here and I love you Loona. Everything's going to be ok". I kiss her shoulder a shiver runs through her.

"I love you too".

"I have trouble sleeping too, I'm just better at hiding it so I don't worry you".

"I'm sorry I never noticed".

"When I first arrived here the emotional currents and trauma kept me awake I sometimes wouldn't/couldn't sleep for days at a time".

"How did you get over it?".

"Well..I used to run across rooftops".

"Rooftops?". She says puzzled.

"Yes as odd or stupid as it sounds I would parkour across the local rooftops. I would either free run until I got too tired to keep going or the activity would make me forget long enough to grab a couple of hours".

"Greeze wasn't worried".

"He knew that I had nowhere to escape and nowhere to go. I suppose he thought if I did run I wouldn't get far and would be recaptured again easily, but I'm not one to Welch on a deal".

"Does it work?".

"Yeah definitely still does". I say. Wanna try it?".

"Ok...sure".

I go to our room...
I come back with a handful of clothes.

"Just enough to cover up". I say as we get dressed.
We step out onto the balcony.

"Let me".
I take her hand transferring the route to her mentally.
"Let me go first". I grip the railing and take a breath letting the cold air enter my nose and lungs. I open my eyes and take a running leap flipping over the rail into space landing onto the building fifty yards away.

I look over at her she looks scared.

"JUST A LITTLE FAITH". I called her. "I PROMISE IT'LL WORK".
I see her look at me, look down, and then she leaps over the side.

"FFFFUUUUCCCKKKK!". She yelled.
But despite her fears, she lands safely next to me.

"Well?"

"Holy shit that was...wow".

"Wanna keep going?".

"Yeah, I'm ready".

"Wanna race?".

"Yeah let's go".

"I'll give you a head start".

"Don't need one. I'm gonna win anyway".

"Oh, we'll see".

"Ok fine" I say.
"Ready..set...GO".

We each set off like a bullet. She was fast but nowhere as fast as me, but somehow she found a way to keep up with me. We jumped, Vaulted, and maneuvered our way over everything in our way.

We traverse over dozens of roofs. The finish line was in sight and she knew it too.
We each unleashed our final spurt of energy. We simultaneously launched onto the final rooftop and touched the air unit on top at the same time.

"Whew...that was...fun.." she pants.

"Feel better?".

"Almost".
She tackles me taking me to the ground.
"I know a way to burn a few more calories".

She kisses me deeply. After which she takes off her shirt her bare chest shown in the lights around us before she begins to ravage me in the cool night air.
