The Life of Valor (Grave x Kat)

Jessica nodded and grabbed Sorry, Uno, a regular deck of cards, a cribbage board, and Skip-Bo. She looked around his house curiously, it was nice, much better than her beaten down apartment. She smiled and nodded. "I wouldn't mind some iced tea as well." She said as she looked over the games. "What would you like to play first?" She asked.
 
Scott nodded and poured her a glass of iced tea before handing it to her. He looked over the choices and smiled as an idea came to mind. He moved everything off of the table except for the regular deck of cards and sat down.
"How about a game of strip poker? I always wanted to play that game."
He began to shuffle the cards, doing it almost as fast as a card shuffling machine without seeming to think about it.
 
Jessica blinked in surprise at his shuffling before blushing a little as she sat down uncertainly. "A-Alright..." She said, still blushing as she waited for him to deal.
 
Scott smiled as she agreed.
"Cool. This will be fun."
He carefully dealt out an equal number of cards to each side, and then shuffled his pile.
"Okay, so here are the rules. We'll draw five cards from the top of the deck and add all of the numbers together."

"The Jacks will be worth 10 points. The Kings and Queens will be worth 20 points. The Aces will be worth 30 points. The Joker card will be worth 1 point. After we draw, we'll compare hands and whichever person loses has to remove an article of clothing of their choice. The only thing is that neither of us can cheat by just removing one shoe, you have to take off both shoes if you choose that."

Scott waited a moment and then continued.
"After we draw, we compare and then discard that hand to a pile above our deck. If we tie, we discard our hands and neither player removes clothing. If we deplete our deck and one player still has clothes on, we shuffle the discard pile and resume play with a new deck. The game ends when one player is completely naked. Why don't we play best two rounds out of three, and the player who wins the match gets one request of the other player?"

Scott looked into Jessica's eyes and gave her a wink. She was blushing a little, and he thought that was sweet. After spending time together, he thought that there might be something there with her, and this would be a good thing to help bring them closer together. He was hoping he might even get a kiss from her, since her lips had been very enticing back at the movie theater. He placed his hand on the deck and gave her a winning smile.
"Ready?"
 
Jessica blushed brightly as he said they would do this at least two times and wondered what his request might be if he won the overall. She swallowed nervously and nodded shyly as she picked up five cards.
 
Scott picked up his five cards and looked at it. They were only regular number cards and added up to about fifteen. He compared his hand to hers and saw that she had beaten him by one point.
"Ah, so close. Looks like you draw first blood."
He placed his hand in the discard pile and then removed his shoes.
Scott then smiled at her and draw his next hand.
 
Scott drew his next hand and was glad it was a better one. It had a 6, 7, 8, 10, and a Jack, so the total was 41. He compared it to Jessica's hand, which added up to 26.
"Well, looks like I evened the score."
He discarded his hand and let her remove her chosen article of clothing. He then drew his next hand, which consisted of 5, two 4's, 3, and 7 for a total of 23.
 
Scott chuckled.
"Yeah, I figured I wouldn't win with that hand."
He discarded the hand and removed his socks, placing them inside of his shoes. He then drew his next five cards. They consisted of a king, a queen, a jack, a ten, and a nine. The hand would be a Royal Flush in a regular card game, and it all added up to a whopping 69.
 
Scott discarded his hand and thought that this is where the game got interesting. He drew a 4, a 7, a Jack, a 10, and a 5 for a total of 36. Thus far it had been a close match, so he would have to see where it went. He wished he would have had the killer hand from last turn to almost guarantee a victory here.
 
He still won. Jessica drew a 2, an 8, a 9, and two 6s for a total of 31. She swallowed nervously as she looked down at herself and took a breath before pulling her shirt off, blushing a little as she was left in her shorts and bra.
 
Scott discarded his hand and appraised her, liking how she looked in her bra.
"Wow, you look really hot right now."
He drew his next hand and felt certain he would lose, since it only added up to 20. He compared it to hers, wondering what she had drawn.
 
Scott saw that he had lost and nodded.
"Yeah, I thought so."
He discarded his hand and removed his shirt, tossing it beside him on the floor. His upper body was covered in hard muscle, with his arms as thick as tree branches, his chest like an impenetrable wall, and a well-defined six pack over his stomach. It was clear that he was very, very strong. However, what leaped out the most was not his muscled physique.

From his sternum down to his waist were over one hundred healed scars, and there were many more that could not currently be seen. Some were small and others large, depending on the wound he had sustained. In the over one thousand fights he had been in at Shadowgreen, he had taken his share of devastating blows. There was a particularly long scar running diagonally right across his chest from when Dulzak, leader of the Grymwar, had almost sliced him open with his Cutting Magic. His face and neck were pretty clean, but the rest of his body was a testament to his life of battle. He could clearly remember how he had gotten each scar and who had given them to him, and he wore them all like medals of honor.
 
Jessica blushed a little as she saw his toned upper body then her eyes widened as she saw all the scars, horror in her eyes as she tried to imagine what could have possibly caused someone to sustain so many injuries.
 
Scott looked into her eyes, understanding of her horror. Jessica was a gentle spirit, and he also knew that most people would never undergo such devastation to do what he did. The scars were reminders that his training had been a success, that he had become the strongest at Shadowgreen in time to defend Earth from the Grymwar. That alien race was so vicious and powerful that it took everything he had, and then some, to stop them. How could he explain this great task within his life? He looked down at his scars and smiled gently.

"Many battles," he said simply.
Given time, he thought, he would tell her the whole story. As it was, he drew his next hand. It was a well-proportioned hand that added up to 35.
 
Jessica looked at him worriedly but nodded softly as that's all he seemed to want to say about it. She lost that hand, causing her to remove her shorts, and then the next one as well. She blushed madly as she was now left in her panties and bra and took a deep breath, closing her eyes in embarrassment as she reached behind her and undid her bra, pulling it off and covering her chest with her arms in embarrassment.
 
Scott was fortunate his next two hands, and saw Jessica get topless, although she covered herself as best she could. Before she had covered herself, Scott saw her breasts, and they were perfect. The breasts themselves were round and big, and the nipples were nicely-sized and erect.
"Looks like I'm only one away from winning the game. Then again, maybe you'll have a good run of two and beat me."
He drew his next hand, which added up to 25.
 
Scott watched as Jessica stood up and slid down her panties. Standing before him completely naked, he had never seen a more beautiful sight. Standing up, he took her hand gently and looked into her eyes, trying not to make her uncomfortable by looking at her naked body.
"We can play something else if you like. You were a very good sport, but I know that made you uncomfortable."
He smiled.

"Or...Perhaps I could get naked, too. I could make my request and see where it goes from there."
His right hand gently reached up and stroked her right cheek. Though his hand was rough and calloused from his intense training, his touch was gentle. He could destroy and also protect. As he looked into her eyes, there was no denying the intense feelings he was developing for her.
 
Jessica was blushing madly as she stood there nude and looked up at him shyly as he approached her, she nodded softly at his first words about playing something different, wondering what his request would be. She then blinked in surprise as he stroked her cheek, his scarred chest before her, his rough hand so gentle upon her soft cheek. She found herself blushing more as she looked into his eyes, timidness and uncertainty visible there.
 
Scott could see that he would have to proceed carefully here. He reached down and slid his pants and underwear off, revealing not only the rest of the scars running down his legs but also that he was well-hung.
"There, now we're even," he said with a laugh as he tossed them aside.
He gently put his arms around her waist, drawing her into him slowly.
"My request is to have a kiss from the most beautiful woman in the world. That would be you, Jessica."

Scott gently leaned in until his lips made contact with hers. It was a gentle kiss at first, and he pulled back slightly after initial contact. He then came in again and the kiss deepened. There was a great deal of passion behind his kiss, but he proceeded at her pace. He could feel her soft skin against his hard body, a contrast that was invigorating. He had devoted himself to protecting Earth for so long that this was the first time that he had pursued romance, and the feeling was a heady rush.
 
Jessica's eyes widened in shock and she gasped a little as he revealed his full body, her face turning crimson as she looked at him for a moment then looked back at his face, her eyes wide and timid as she gasped softly as she was pulled in against him. Her heart skipped a beat as he said his request, swallowing nervously as she looked up at him, incredibly embarrassed before she closed her eyes and kissed him back softly the first time. She opened her eyes as he pulled away then they widened and she gasped, letting out a muffled whimper of surprise as he suddenly kissed her again, even deeper. Her heart was racing as she felt his passion and she closed her eyes tightly in embarrassment. She couldn't believe this was happening, this man, this incredibly sexy, strong, yet kind man was kissing her. Her heart was racing as she thought about this, she had never had a love life. She'd had crushes in high school sure but no one ever really took an interest in her. She hesitated a moment in the kiss out of shock and self-doubt before she relinquished it and let out a soft sigh as she kissed him back, gently and sweetly.
