AFTER climbing the stairs up to the sleep quarters, you both decided to stop by your room first before checking in on Noctis. Ignis wanted to drop off his bag and you wanted to change out of your dress and into something more comfortable.  When you arrived at your room, you smiled at Ignis as you pushed the door open for him so that he could walk in.

"You do know that the door thing only applies to everyone else, but me?" Ignis asked as he looked at you as he walked in.

"Not according to your uncle it doesn't." You corrected as you released the door after he entered the room.

"Well in that case." Ignis said as he set his bag down by the couch.  "From now on," he said as he walked over and placed his hands on your hips.  "When it's only us.  I will be the one to open it for you."  Ignis said as he smiled down at you as he held you. You smiled back up at him and stared into his gorgeous green eyes as they capture your full attention.

Ignis rubbed his fingers across the velvet of the dress as he pulled you closer to him. The soft velvet of the dress reminded him of how soft your skin had felt under his fingertips when he had helped you out in the hospital. The sensation had been as exquisite and the fabric felt now.  That feeling was now starting to awaken a deeper need that he had been trying to control. But that control was slipping, as he felt the desire starting to grow as he held you in his arms.

He knew what he had told you before, about how he wanted your first intimate touch to be in his bed. But did it really have to be his bed? There wasn't some unwritten rule that said that it had to be, right?  Could it really happen anywhere?  Although the thought of it being elsewhere, like in that very room, was starting to cause him to lose part of his control as he caressed your sides with his thumbs.

A part of him, wanted to lose that control and feel everything that you had. In fact he wanted you to do the same to him. And what harm could there be in a touch. It's not like you were actually going to be doing it. Not yet anyway. He could wait for that until you were ready for it. All he wanted was to feel you with his hands as he explored every inch of your body. 

But perhaps not just yet.  He thought as he watched you look away.  He wasn't even sure if you wanted that from him yet.  So for now, he would wait for you to make the first move.   He concluded as he dropped his head as he fought to get control again.

~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~

You watched as his eyes got darker and darker as he looked at you. You could see his chest moving as he started breathing heavy as he stood there. Then you felt his hands start to tremble as his thumbs caressed the sides of your waist.  You could feel the heat as it came off of him as he dropped his head as he tried to control it again.  You hadn't seen him act like this before.  At least not this intense.  The only time you had seen him close to this, was when you had tried to snuggle up with him while watching the movie in Noctis' room and you had accidentally rubbed up against his member.

Wait a minute?  Is he thinking what I think that he's thinking?  You thought and your heart rate and body immediately seemed to respond to him as you pictured it in your head.  

His hands and body touching you and rubbed up against you, as you passionately kissed.  Two naked bodies engulfed in each other's heat, as hands wandered as they messaged each and every curve and muscle.

You quickly became very nervous and dropped your head as you tried to hide your cheeks.  You could feel them burning up from the heat that was raising from the rest of your body.  Where you really ready for that?  Sure you had thought about it with him, sometimes enough for your own pleasure.  But to touch him like that for real.  Could you even handle being touched like that from him?  Or would you lose all control?  Would he like what he saw?  What if he didn't?  What if he though that you were too small for him?  Sure you had breasts, but they weren't the largest in the class or anything.  Isn't that what all guys wanted?  Big perky breasts?  And what if....

"Are you alright?"  You heard Ignis said as he watched you.

You quickly looked back at him and saw that the heat was almost gone from his eyes as he looked at you. 

What the hell? How did he do that? Has he changed his mind already?  Or am I seeing things?  You thought as you shook your head as you tried to smile back at him as you tried to calm your heart and body back down.

"I'm fine."  You said breathlessly as you looked at him. 

"I guess I'm just a bit tired is all."  You finished as you dropped your gaze again.

Ignis loosen his grip on you as he gave you a smile.  "Then let's get ready to see Noctis before you pass out on me."  Ignis said as a flash a fire seemed to cross his eyes.

"Yeah."  You said then walked away from him and headed towards your wardrobe.  

Your whole body was slightly shaking as you walked over to the wardrobe so that you could grab some clothes. How was it that he had that kind of hold on you? Was all you could think about as you crossed the room.

You pulled out a change of clothes and the hanger for the dress.  Then you went into the bathroom to change. In the meantime, Ignis took off and hung up his suit coat before he started getting the couch ready to sleep in.  After you closed the door to the bathroom, you put the clothes on the countertop by the sink.  Then you reached up to try and unzip your dress, but you couldn't seem to get it to move. 

It felt like it had gotten snagged,perhaps when you were being pushed up again the locker.  But then as you tried to move your hand along the zipper to see where it was caught up, you came across a very painful spot on your back.  It was right next to your bra strap as it came across your back.  Then you remembered that was where the masked guy had held your wrists against your back as he pinned you against the locker.

You couldn't tell how bad since you can't really look at your own back.  That and it's not like you could get the dress off now to even try.  You dropped your head.  You were going to have to ask Ignis for help.  Your heart raced at the thought of him unzipping it.  Let alone having him look at your back to see how bad it was.

You had already felt like jello just from his gaze from a few moments ago.  This might turn you straight to pudding, if not water that couldn't held a shape even if it tried.  But it's not like you had much of a choice.  Besides, you were kind of excited at the thought of having him touch you like that.  Even if it was only to fix the jammed zipper and access your back injury.

So you opened up the door and walked back out.  You saw that Ignis had just finished setting up his bed when he paused and looked up at you.  You felt your breath catch as you thought about what  you were about to ask him.  You suddenly felt very nervous as you looked at him. 

He had taken off his coat and had it hanging up on the hanger as it hung from the coat rack beside the door.  His tie was loose and the top button of his shirt was undone so that his neck could breathe again.  And his cuffs were rolled up slightly so that he could work and not get them snagged on anything.  Seeing him like that, made your body start to respond to the earlier heat that he had been putting off.

"Everything alright?'  Ignis asked as he saw how nervous you were.

"I think the zipper is stuck." You quietly said as you watched his eyebrows shoot straight up.

"Uh........well.......I suppose I could....." Ignis stumbled, which was a first.  You would have considered it cute, if you hadn't been a nervous wreck yourself at the time.

"Could you help me out?"  You nervously asked as you tried to help out both of you by just simply asking.

Ignis nervously nodded then slowly approached you.  You dropped your gaze as you turned your back to him as he approached.  Your hands started to shake from being nervous, so you clenched them tightly to try and get them back under control.  You heard him stop behind you.  Then you felt his warm body near your back as he nervously reached up both hands as he examined the zipper to try and figure out where it got stuck.

"I think my back may have been hurt tonight as well."  You quietly said as he ran his fingers along the zipper.

"Where?"  Ignis said in a more controlled voice then you would have managed.

"Right by my bra strap."  You said as you reached your hand back.  "Right here."  You said then touched it and hissed as pain shot through your back.

"Easy darling."  He said as he placed his hand on yours.

"Let me take a look."  He said then slowly moved your hand to your side and release it as he brought both hands back up to your zipper.

First things first.  He thought as he carefully examined the zipper to see where it got snagged. 

I can't see the damage done to her back without getting this dress off of her back.  He thought as he saw the hang up. 

Then his body jarred as he slowly started to unzip your dress.  His eyes couldn't help but to devour the sight as your soft skin seemed to scream his name as the zipper slowly  revealed your smooth, sensual body.  He fought back the urge to kiss the skin as his body seemed to instantly became hot as he was capture by the sight.

But then as he reached your bra strap he saw the problem.   For his breath caught as his heart briefly stopped as your beautiful skin was starting to show signs of trauma in the form as black and blue bruises as he lower the zipper below your bra strap.  He brought the zipper all the way down until it came to a stop in the small of your back. 

But he wasn't looking at the soft curve of your back after the zipper was down all the way.  He was way too focused on trying to see how extensive the bruising was.  But there was only one way that he was going to be able to see that.  He was going to have to undo your bra.  The idea of seeing your breasts again made him instantly hard as he remembered how they had looked the first time.  He had spent many nights pictured how they would fit in his hands after seeing them that night in the hospital.

"It looks like you only have some bruising."  He quietly said in a husky voice.  "But I will have to undo your bra to see how extensive and if there is anything else going on just under your skin."

You felt your heart jump into your throat at his words and at the thought of him undoing your bra.  Your mind whirled with emotions as you thought about it.  You had felt vulnerable enough as he had partially undressed you already.  You weren't sure if you were going to be able to handle him removing anything else without a moan to two coming out.  This of course depended on if you could still stand after he removed the claps and released your breasts.  You already knew how sensitive that they became in the cool air.  But this would be way more intense then cold air.

"If you want to hold up the front of the dress, it will keep you from getting cold."  Ignis said in a husky voice as he fought to control his hands from wanting to act on the urge to touch.

You moved your arms in front and held your dress up against yourself as you felt his hands slowly undo your clasps.  Then as the he undid the last one, you could feel his heat intensity as his hot breath sent chills down your exposed back.  Then you slightly jumped as his hand gently touched your back with his fingers as he tried to access the bruises.  But he jerked back when you jumped.

"Did that hurt?"  He quickly asked as he looked at you.

"A little."  You honestly stated.  "But you mainly just caught me off guard."

"I'll try to be gentle."  He said as he moved closer as he breath now seemed to be right at the back of your neck now.

Your breath caught at his closeness.  You skin was on fire where he had briefly touched you. Only for it to spread as you felt his hand slowly move across you skin as he checked your sensitivity to any type of touch.  Most of it was fine, with the exception that your heart rate was through the roof and your body was turning into a flaming inferno under his delicate touch.

Ignis slowly ran his fingers over your skin as he tried to see if there was any protruding or broken bones or super sensitive spots from where they had held you against the locker.  The whole time, his mind and body were at war with each other.  His mind was trying to determine the severity of the bruising.  While his body was wanting to taste and devour every inch of you.  Never had he had to fight against himself so hard just to maintain control.

"It looks to be just bruising." Ignis seemed to growl as his breath left him as he sighed.

He was glad when he could safely say that you didn't have anything other than bruises. But once he was sure of this fact, his body seemed to take over.  For he placed both of his hands on your hips as he tried to steady himself.  Then, as if controlled by another force, he leaned in and placed a soft gentle kiss on the side of your neck.  Instantly his body was on fire as your sweet taste hit his lips.

You closed your eyes as you let out a moan to his touch.  You had tried to muffle the moan, but nothing seemed to want to obey you as it escaped from your lips.  And now it looked as if there would be more to follow as you felt and heard Ignis starting to lose control as he placed another kiss in the same place, but this one was more intense.  For he pulled you back towards his body as he took a deep breath while he added a bit of suction to the kiss.

You breath seemed to escape you, as you gasped from the intense sensation that he was giving you.  Your body was turning into a hot ball of passion as you felt the intensity of his desire as he was bring yours out as well. Your body seemed to want more as it was starting to rise up from your core with each touch and kiss. Then your right hand seemed to move on its own, as it reached down and grabbed his and slowly started to move it higher.

Ignis almost groaned, as the motion seemed to electrify his already overcharged senses.  He pulled away from your neck as he was breathing heavy, only to return back to your neck and kiss you right behind your ear, which made you gasp.  Right after that moment, you placed his hand on your right breast and you moaned again at his touch.

This time your moan was joined by Ignis who moaned as he gently squeezed your right breast as he pulled you closer to his hips as his erection was now straining at the fabric of his slacks.  He released your neck, and started peppering your whole neck with quick hungry kisses.  You leaned your head back as you tilted it to the side as you were falling under his heavy exchange.  But then right as you were about to reach up and wrap your arms around his neck, you heard a slight knock on the door.

You froze in your tracks. You could hardly breath as you listened for it again.  Ignis stopped as well, but was still breathing heavy as he dropped his head as he tried to regain control again.  But as you both listened, you heard the knocking again.

"I'll get that love."  Ignis growled in a deep voice as he spoke in your ear.  "You head for the bathroom so that you can change." He breathed heavily in your ear then gave you one last hungry kiss on your neck before he released you. "While you changing, I'll go get something to put on your back as will as grab a potion to help you heal faster."

All you could do at this point was nod.  Not a single word seemed to want to form, no matter how hard you tried.  You felt his body tremble as he pulled himself away from you as he moved towards the door.  You walked back to the bathroom as quickly as you could.  Which was no easy task since now your legs seemed to be nothing but mush under you.

Once you reach the bathroom, you closed and leaned up against the door as you fought to catch your breath.  After a moment, you heard Ignis open the door and start talking to the visitor.  Turned out it was Noctis. And he was trying to figure out what was taking the two of you so long.  Your face heated up at the words, but at least this time you could enjoy the feeling as you stood smiling to yourself as you blushed from the heated exchange.

After finally gaining full control of your legs again, you moved away from the door. As you stood in front of the mirror, you relaxed your arms and let the dress and bra smoothly fall to the floor around you. Your breath caught for a moment as you realized that you had almost done that in front of him. If you hadn't been interrupted like that, you would have been standing there in nothing but your underwear. For your hands were getting ready to release the dress and wrap around him as he was bringing out a desire in you that you had never felt before. But it seemed that his desire was matched to yours. For you had never heard him moan before. Well, not unless he was working out. But even then was rare. No, this had been different. He couldn't seem to get enough of you.

The thought of it now, was starting to make you wet as you wished that you could have gone a bit further. You absently touched your right breast which was now very sensitive from his grip. You closed your eyes for a moment as you could still feel his hand on it, as he gently message it. You body started to heat up again as you slightly squeezed it. Then you shook your head and dropped your hand. No.  The next time that happened, it would be his hand, and not yours. You told yourself as you looked in the mirror. Then you refocused yourself and stepped out of the dress.

You hung the dress back up on it's hanger, tossed your bra in the hamper and proceeded to put on the grey hoodie and grey sweatpants that Ignis had let you borrow after falling in the pool at his house. You had decided to go without the bra this time since you didn't think that you were going to be able to put it back on with hurting yourself again. Besides, Ignis said that he was going to get something to put on it, so the bra would just get in the way. So once you had on the hoodie and sweatpants, you washed your face so that you could get the rest of the makeup off. Then you removed the hair pin that Noctis gave you and carefully placed it on the counter. Then you removed the earrings and set them by the hair comb. You were about to remove the necklace, but after placing your hand on it, you changed your mind. Only after that, did you feel comfortable enough to walk back out of the room again.

As you walked back out into your room, you noticed that your room was quiet and empty once again. You smiled to yourself as you carried your dress back out of the bathroom and hung it up on the outside of your wardrobe so that you could clean it later. You ran your hand down the fabric as you half smiled at it. You may not have been able to to show it off at the dance, but the dress certainly had some memories that you would always associate with it. As you smiled to yourself, you released the fabric and turned towards the door so that you could head over to Noctis' room.

~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~

"So you asked her?" You heard Noctis ask in a strained voice right as you were opening up his bedroom door. You froze with the door only open a sliver, when you heard his voice.

"I did." Ignis returned in a calm voice.

"What did she say?" You heard Noctis ask as he shuffled in his seat.

"She seemed quite happy to accept."  Ignis said as if he was smiling at him.

"I see."  Noctis quietly responded. 

"You better take good care of her."  Noctis said in a very serious tone.

"Of course."  Ignis said in a confident tone.

"Because if you don't," Noctis said as he sat up, "I'll kick your ass myself."

"Which would  be deserved."  Ignis said.  "But you can trust me when I say, that I would never do anything to hurt her."

"I certainly hope not specs."  Noctis said as he sat back.

You dropped your head as you thought about what they said.  Ignis hurting you was the least of your concerns.  You were more concerned about everyone outside of the citadel trying something.  But it was still nice to hear that those that you really trusted were going to try and protect you.  So with a smile you let the door close and softly knocked on the wooden door.

"Come in."  You heard Noctis say though the door.

You smiled then pushed the door open to find them sitting around the television as a movie was playing.  They both smiled back you as you walked in. Noctis was sitting in his chair while Ignis was on the couch again. You slowly came around to the front of the couch.

"Hey."  Noctis said as he saw you.  "What happened to the dress?"

"Oh."  You said shyly as you dropped your head.  "I didn't want anything else happening to it, so I changed."

"Too bad."  Noctis said as he smiled at you.  "I kind of liked the look."

"Well thank you."  You said back as you sat down beside Ignis on the couch. 

"But I prefer the relaxed look at night."  You said as you curled your feet up under you as you got comfortable on the couch.

Ignis looked over at you and narrowed his eyes as he smiled at you.  You smiled back and bit your lip as you looked down.  Ignis then reached over and place his hand on yours.  You looked up at him and wrapped your hands around his as you smiled back.  You watched as Ignis did a quick glance at your clothes.  Then he looked at you with a touch of seduction in his eyes before he turned back to Noctis.

"So how was practice tonight?"  Ignis asked as he turned his attention back to Noctis.

~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~

Then for the next hour or so, everyone talked about the team practice.  Noctis told you that coach had talked about the districts meet and the meet next week that was supposed to be up against the rec center on the other side of Insomnia.  The thought of being exposed like that, now made you nervous.  If your couldn't go to a dance at your own school, how could you attend a swim meet on the other side of Insomnia?  The whole thing now just made you nervous.

You shifted uncomfortably in your chair as the evening's event at the school started to come back to you again.  Never would you have thought that someone would try to take you while you were at the school.  Of all places, school had always been one of your safe havens.  Well, with the exception of the Gwen issues.  But that was from within the school.  This was something different.  This was a stranger showing up with the intent to take you.

The thought was starting to scary you to the core.  Ignis squeezed your hand which jarred you out of your thoughts.  You looked up to see both of them giving you a concerned look.

"Perhaps it would be best to call it a night."  Ignis said as he watched you nervously look down as you rubbed his hand.

"Sounds good." Noctis said as he watched you.

"Come on (y/n)."  Ignis said as he looked at you.  "Let's head to bed.  I'm sure a good night sleep will do everyone some good."

You looked up as Ignis stood up.  Then you absently got up yourself.  Then you both wished Noctis a good night before returning to your room. As you approached the door, Ignis held it open for you. You smiled slightly at him as you walked in. He smiled back as he released the door behind him once he had entered teh room himself.

"I was able to get a couple of things to help you tonight." Ignis said from behind you as you walked over to the couch.

"And what might they be?" You asked as you stopped and leaned up against the back of the couch.

"Well first things first." He said as he handed you a potion. "This is to help heal from the inside.

You smiled back at him as you took the potion. "Thank you Ignis." You said then you took the top off and drank the light blue liquid. Which instantly seemed to help relieve some of the pain and tension in your back.

"The last one is a cream for your skin that will help to remove the rest of the pain and tension." Ignis said as he held up a small bottle of lotion. "It a muscle relaxer cream that can help relieve the pain and helps to quickly heal the bruising from the outside as the lotion is message into the skin."

"And how do you suppose that I'm going to put that on?" You asked as you gave him a devilish grin. "It's not like I can properly reach back there and put it on myself."

"Well, naturally I would help with that part." He said as he gave you a serious look. "But only if you want me to."

"Well of course." You stated as you tilted your head to the side. "And where would you like me?"

"Let's have you on your bed so that you can fall asleep if you like. I would rather not have to worry about moving you once I'm done." He said as he gestured towards your bed.

You gave him a slight seductive look before you walked over to the bed and climbed up. You moved to the center of the bed and laid on your stomach with your hands up by your head as you hugged your pillow. After removing his shoes, he carefully climb up and straddled your legs. Then he sat back on his heels as he watched you reach behind your head as you slowly started to gather up the fabric in your hands. Then you slowly started pulling the hoodie up towards your head.

Ignis clenched his hands into fists to prevent him hands from moving as they itched to wander over your skin again. But then when you pulled the hoodie high enough to reveal your upper back, he slightly trembled as he realized that you had left your bra off. He closed his eyes for a moment as he refocused. He had to keep control. Last time he had almost lost all control after you had place his hand on your breast. His hand started tingling as he remembered how soft and warm it had felt. The sensation had felt like he was kneading dough as the skin gave way to his fingers as they slight caressed it.

Ignis then quickly opened his eyes and looked up as he earlier erection was starting to return. He concentrated on the earlier events as a means to distract himself. He wondered if Monica and Gladio were able to figure out how they got into the building. Sure the school had plenty of doors. But all of them were locked from the inside. The only way that they could have gotten in was if someone inside the building had let them in. Or perhaps someone collected the tickets let them in. Perhaps they were students themselves.

Ignis dropped his head as he thought about these possibilities. He then refocused on you as he noticed that you had pulled the hoodie up to your shoulders. You had tucked your arms in at your sides as you held the hoodie in place. He slight grinned at the gesture of modesty that you were trying to show now. This would make it a bit easier to put on the lotion. That is, if he can keep control of his own hands.

Ignis open up the small bottle of lotion and put a small amount in his hand before closing the bottle backup. Then he lightly rubbed his hands together so that he could heat up the lotion a bit. Then he started at your upper back and started to slowly rub in the lotion as he slowly messaged your skin with his gentle touch. He was slow and gentle as he made his way down your back as he message each area of you back. But then you hissed when he reached a really dark spot that had been right under your bra strap.

"I'm sorry love." He said as he lighten his touch more.

"It's fine." You purred back to him as you felt like your whole body was turning into mush in his hands. "You never told me that you were this good with your hands."

Ignis slightly laughed as he smiled at you. "Well I've never had the privilege of using them like this on anyone before."

"Hmmmm". You purred at him as he slowly moved lower. "I'm the one whose privileged for feeling it. I could easily fall asleep under your touch."

"That would be the point darling." Ignis said in a soft voice as his fingers continued to take out all of the tension that you had been feeling.

A short time later, Ignis had moved down to your lower back and was about finished when he happen to notice that your breathing was slow and steady. He smiled to himself as he did a few more strokes before he stopped. Then he leaned up and gently grabbed the end of the hoodie and slowly started to move it back down over your back. You moaned as the fabric pulled away from your arms.

Then you stretched your arms out in front of yourself as you reached for the headboard. This stretched you out enough for Ignis to pull the hoodie all the way back down to your hips as you laid on the bed. He then climbed off of the bed and grabbed your blanket from the bench at the end of your bed. Then he covered you up as he pulled the blanket over your body and up around your neck. Then with one last smile he leaned down a gave you a kiss on the cheek before turning in himself.

******Author Note******

Okay, so I couldn't bring myself for this to get too far. Not just yet. There are a few things I want to happen first before I'll head down that path.

But fair warning, the next chapter might get a bit more intense in a few different ways.

See you in the next chapter.

Thanks for reading. :)
