Got a problem with me? (CAM)

[Lotus]

Noah nodded softly, smiling and standing up away from her. He could not believe she'd never been with anyone else before and he was was standing there with all his experience making it no easy on her. He wasn't proud of what he'd done in the past now, but at least he knew how to give her a first good time. She deserved to feel loved. Loved? There's that word again and Noah thought about it so easily. He just guessed it was because he'd finally talked to her and he had in fact been in love with her all these years rather than just intrigued by her.

He smiled and leant over to blow out the candle. He picked up the plates and placed them in the fridge before going back to her and holding his hand out for her. "C'mon. We can eat dinner later. I want you to feel comfortable, not that it's not cute seeing you the way you are." He chuckled and took a step back. When she pressed her hand shakily in his he grasped it tight, entwining their fingers before heading out of the kitchen and upstairs to his room. He led her inside and closed the door slowly behind him.

He walked up to Ravenna and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He was trying to ease the tension so he thought of a good question. "What do you like to be called? You're full name or a nickname?"

[Cham]

Ravenna watched with a smile as Noah cleared the table quickly, an eagerness in his step as he lead them up to their room. Dammit. HIS room.

Feeling his hands on her, and a strange question. "Well, every time you say my name, I get butterflies." she murmured, letting her hands slide down his arms to lay gently over his hands. Leaning back and feeling that chiseled back and Ooh! His erection pressing into her.

Giggling softly, she moved her behind a little. Turning to look at him with her arms wrapped around his neck. Kissing him tenderly as they walked backwards until the bed took out her knees, falling backward with him atop her. Laughing softly when he smiled at her.

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled, "Then I'll just call you Ravenna." He whispered softly in her ear. He felt her pressing against him and it was taking a lot of his will power to keep him self sane. She really drove him crazy, but then again, she was Ravenna and she'd driven Noah crazy for years. He kissed her back softly and edged their way towards his bed before laying over her, keeping his weight on his arms as his hands pressed into the bed either side of her head. He smiled down at her and just looked over her face before looking back into her eyes. It was the first time he had ever looked at a girl; no woman, with love and affection in his eyes.

He rested his weight on one arm as he reached up and tenderly stroked her cheek with his knuckles before leaning down and placing a soft kiss on her ever awaiting lips. He kissed her nose and loved the way he cheeks flushed a soft rose colour. He chuckled and kissed her lips again, his hand trailing down from her cheek all the way to her fingers on one arm. He entwined his fingers with hers and smiled softly. "You are truly beautiful Ravenna." He breathed softly as he leant down and kissed her a little fiercer.

Pulling back briefly he rested his forehead against hers, "You feeling a little more comfortable?"

[Cham]

Ravenna was breathing slowly this time, though her heart beat fast with anticipation. He looked down on her with almost a... reverant look about his eyes before leaning down and kissing her with his candy tasting lips. His touch was heart stilling. Shutting her eyes to let his fingers wander down her arm as they may. Surprisingly, he captured that hand in his own. Then kissed her again with the same tenderness, but a heated passion behind it. Driving her body crazy.

Nodding softly, hardly able to form words, she murmured "A little bit..." Before stealing away a few chaste kisses. Unable to help herself, she reclaimed her hand from his, cupping his chin and pulling his head down to hers. "Let me..." she whispered before letting her hands talk for her. Fingers slipping down the curves of his muscled body. Finding the bottom of his shirt and pulling it over his head "I dont think your going to need that..."

Grinning softly, she could hardly look him in the eyes as she once again let her fingers trail down. This time over skin, marking new paths. Lovingly glancing up to him every few inches and watching his eyes dilate. Her fingers trembled as she unbuttoned the jeans, zipping down his fly, and letting her fingers tentatively move around to his butt, slipping the jeans down to his knees. "Dont need those either" She whispered before shutting her eyes and wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling his mouth to hers.

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled with the way Ravenna was acting. The way she slowly took off his clothes. He wriggled on top of her and kicked his jeans to the floor; keeping his boxers on. He shivered from the feeling her touch brought him and he couldn't help but smile down at her.

She was still avoiding his gaze; even after that kiss she'd brought them into. He knew it was to distract herself from his lack of clothes and what they were doing so he reached out a hand and tipped her chin up to face him. "There's no need to be nervous. I'm still the same person, just with fewer clothes." He chuckled and kissed her lips softly.

This time his hands trailed down her body to the hem of her t-shirt and tugged till it slipped over her head abd shoulders. "No need for this." He mimicked her actions to get her to loosen up. His fingers lightly grazed the skin of her waist and stomach before moving down to the waistband of her trousers. He flickered his gaze back to her and saw her eyes closed; in an attempt to hide. He couldn't help but smile softly and moved his hands back up to cup her cheeks, bringing his lips down to hers. "We'll take this slow."

[Cham]

Noah forced her eyes to look up at his, and her heartbeat slowed. The compassion that lit up his eyes was a sight to see after years of seeing the hardened, callused look he usually wore. But his kiss was as intoxicating as ever, and she nodded gently.

His touch was hardly bearable. Trying to hold still as her body writhed against his, hips moving up to his, looking for some blessed friction. But only to be disappointed as he took his sweet time. When he touched her stomach though, she stilled, calming and collecting her emotions. His hands moved down her legs as he stripped her down. "Noah..." She murmured, and he was there in an instant, telling her he would be slow.

And slow he was as they progressed...

*Le Snexy Time*

Ravenna lay under Noah, her hands clinging to his buldging biceps. A sheen of sweat covered her and Noah's body as he moved beside her, but his hands held tightly to her. She curled into his arms, not yet recognizing the pain. Her head on his chest, and his arms wrapped around her. Both breathing heavily as she listened to his thundering heart beat.

Minutes passed without anything being said before Ven moved up a little, letting his arms slip down. She caught his head inbetween her hands, and looked him in the eye for several moment. Memorizing his face before dropping her lips to his in a tender kiss. Then resting her forehead to his and murmuring against his lips "I do love you... And i will never regret this decision."

[Lotus]

Noah had never been this exhausted after doing the deed with anyone, but he had worked had to make it pleasurable for Ravenna more than himself; not to say he didn't enjoy every minute of it though. It was a different experience for him. It wasn't fast and furious, but slow and filled with love. He wasn't as scared with her now, he knew he could keep his player ways under wraps because he'd got through the first time with her with only one slip up. He hated his little minute slip up, but he had hoped Ravenna hadn't noticed before he quickly pushed it away and forgot about it.

His breathing started slowing down and he was brought into a soft kiss, in which he smiled beneath; because truthfully he hadn't stopped smiling since they started. Noah nodded his head at hers words and leant in to kiss her softly and briefly on the lips. "And I think I'm in love with you too." He just hoped she wouldn't wake up tomorrow and hate herself for being with him; he'd had that a few times from a few girls and it wasn't something he wanted for Ravenna. She needed to feel loved.

He wrapped his arms around her and laid his head back, cradling her head to his chest. He sighed softly and kissed the top of her head. It was now or never and after taking something precious from her, he knew she deserved something in return. He took a deep breath and swallowed over the lump in his throat. "Moni is the reason for my player ways..." He whispered softly. He knew she'd ask questions, but he'd set the ball rolling and he was hoping it would be easier with her pushing for answers.

[Cham]

Ravenna grinned wider than she ever thought she ever had "Really?" She whispered, biting her lip and snuggling back into him, wincing a little as she moved, clasping her thighs together. Unused to using some of those muscles. But after a moment, she moved back against him, feeling his arms tighten around her.

Noah began to speak, and Ven listened intently although her mind was beginning to feel a little foggy with a tiredness. "Well, hopefully I can be the reason you put those to rest" Grinning to herself, she mumbled "You dont have to tell me, but id like to know... Why? Why so many girls."

[Lotus]

Noah nodded his head in answer to her question and smiled softly, pulling her closer in to him. He noticed the way she winced at her slightest movement and his a pang of guilt swam through him, so before he answered he leant down to her ear and whispered, "I hurt you, didn't I?" He groaned when she winced again, but decided it'd be better if he just answered her instead to try and make her forget a little about the pain.

He sighed and his arms tightened around her, in need of the comfort she brought him. His smile faltered and he swallowed hard. "I'm scared of it all. If I never got close enough to fall in love then I wouldn't be at risk of going through the pain of knowing I could lose them. A few months after Moni's seventh birthday I took her out to the water to try and cheer her up after her having to have missed school after the cold she had; I thought it'd do some good. It didn't. I had to rush her home 'cause she collapsed in my arms. We don't really know what caused it but me taking her to the water didn't help her, it made whatever she had ten times as worse. I had never felt more scared or guilty in all my life 'cause it was my fault. She nearly died a few days later, but being the strong lil' girl she is she pulled through..." He took a deep breath for the next part because it was his fault for how she was now. "When she woke up she couldn't see. She became blind 'cause of me. She can't see the world or see me or anyone 'cause of me... She should hate me, but she doesn't. That's why I'm so protective and that's why there's been so many girls. I was scared of doing something like that again. If I didn't love then I didn't have to worry."

He pulled back a little and forced a smile down at Ravenna who had slight tears in her eyes. He brushed them away and kissed her nose. "But then you came along and twisted my world upside down."

[Cham]

Ravenna listened intently as he spoke. picturing in her mind Noah thinking he would take his lovely little sister for a swim and somehow ending up with her losing her sight. Ven held him tightly, and kissing right under his ear "Baby, you wouldnt have known better. Thats not your fault..." But she knew he wouldnt listen.

"And i didnt mean to flip your world. But i can assure you, that you have done some pretty phenominal flipping of worlds yourself" Giggling softly, she kissed him tenderly. "I love you, and I will do everything in my power to keep you safe" She couldnt move any closer, but she tried to, ending up atop him. Shivering slightly in chills and a small amount of pain.

His face looked angry when her eyes showed hurt, but she refused to let him go "Noah, do not think any less of yourself. You are amazing. I had fun, hell, i loved that. Im jsut not used to using those muscles..." She explained.

[Lotus]

Noah couldn't listen to her words, because even though he hadn't know it was still his fault. He had been the one to take her and he had been the one to make her worse and lose her sight. That was all him, whether he knew what would happen or not.

He lightened up a little when she spoke those words and he chuckled, kissing her back. His hands moved down to her waist, but when she moved atop of him he saw the pain in her eyes. Once again he'd caused someone pain. Maybe it wasn't as bad as what happened to Moni, but this was why he had never committed to anyone. He nodded his head stiffly and tried to lighten the mood, "You'll get used to using them eventually." He smiled, before he realised what he'd just said. "Not that I'm assuming you'd do it again with me or anything. I just-" He was cut off but her hand over his mouth and he looked up to her with a raised eyebrow. He chuckled beneath her hand at her expression. He reached up a hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, in turn making her cheeks flush a light pink and his eyes softened at the sight.

[Cham]

Ven shook her head softly when Noah became flustered. Looking down and thinking of how cute he looked when he was. But he tried to cover his slip up, moving her hair from her eyes. Grinning, she leaned down to kiss him tenderly. "So do you want pasta, or fish? Ive got some fresh stuff at my place"

Moving to the side, she lay on her back beside him, taking a moment to get used to the sore feeling, then sitting up, grabbing only her underwear, and slipping into that. Looking around for her dress. What had she put that thing anyways...

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled. "I'm just hungry so whatever you want to feed me." He sat up after her and swung his legs over the edge of the bed, reaching down and slipping on his boxers before standing up. He noticed her standing in her underwear and he just watched for a little bit before noticing how she was looking for her dress. He smiled and walked over to his wardrobe where he'd hung it up for her. He pulled it out and walked back over to her with a small smile on his face.

Before handing it to her he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her softly on the lips. Then he pulled away and said, "There you go gorgeous. I don't want you to cover that body of yours, but the old grouches of this might not like it. Plus, I can't have every other eligible man wanting a piece of you."

[Cham]

Thinking, she wondered what she had at her house. She knew it wasnt much, she could barely afford her half of the rent as it was. There might be something she could pick up on the way? Or they could just work with what she had. The spices she had collected should have dried out... Fish it was!

"Well seeing as weve spent the night at your place, but not mine. Lets go there." Grinning, she tried to take the dress from his hand. But before she knew it, he had pulled her to him. Smiling up into his beautiful eyes "Thank you darling." Blushing when he said he didnt want her to cover herself up, But slipping back into the dress anyways. Turning around and saying softly "Well, it is a little chilly out there, so i dont think i would particularly like to be buck nude... By the way, can you button me up?"

When he stepped forward, she bit her lower lip, his hands were so tender and slow. Very slow as he dressed her. "Remember taking this off?" She murmured

[Lotus]

He knew he couldn't watched her getting dressed, so he pried his eyes away and slipped into his jeans and a clean t-shirt he pulled from his drawers. He nodded his head and walked over to her, his fingers softly grazing the bare skin of her back as he did up each button. He tried to keep himself in check and not just leave the buttons and slip the dress right back off; he knew she couldn't do it with him again in such a short space of time. He smiled and kissed her shoulder at her question. "How could I ever forget?" He whispered before doing the last two buttons.

He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and held her close, resting his head in the crook of her neck. "I had to control myself so much that night." He smiled softly at the memory and chuckled when he felt her shiver slightly. "So, dinner?" He stepped away from her and he saw her shudder again. He wandered over to his bedroom door and slipped on the pair of shoes he kept there. As he opened the bedroom door Storm came bounding in and Noah ran a hand over his face. "Out."

[Cham]

Grinning as he confessed keeping himself in check, she closed her eyes and let her mind wander to only minutes ago the lovemaking they had done. Quicker than before, the desire began unfolding within her, but following his lead, she kept herself in check and took a deep breath. Counting his kiss as a loving one.

When she turned around, he was opening the door for her, but Storm made his way in, bouncing around her legs and nearly knocking her over. With a thought about getting her dress messy, she swore, face contorting in worry "Fuck! Mac should be home..." Remembering, she hadnt left a note for her. "She is going to flip..."

[Lotus]

Noah shook his head at his stupid dog and grabbed him by the collar, forcing him out of the room. He knew what Storm wanted so once he was outside the door her said, "Dinner time." Instantly Storm ran down the stairs and Noah knew he'd been sitting patiently by his bowl. He looked over to Ravenna and had a sad look on his face, "He didn't mess up your dress did he?" He sighed and walked over, taking her hand in his.

"I'll apologise that I couldn't let you walk away from me when we get to yours okay. All blame on me." He smiled softly and kissed her cheek. "Now, let me just feed Storm and we'll be on our way okay?" He let go of her hand and walked to the stairs. At the top he turned back to her and grinned, "I think he felt a bit lonely with us being locked in our room all alone for hours." He winked cheekily and bounded down the stairs before she could say anything. And yes, he'd called it their room, because to him it was now.

[Cham]

"Its alright darling. I can take the heat" Blushing softly as he took her hand, she followed him. Scooping up her shoes at the doorway, and waiting as Noah scooped cupfuls of food into a bowl on the ground. "Maybe we should get him a girlfriend of his own" Giggling, she added "I can keep her with me so I can think of you when i get lonely"

Taking his had as they strolled outside, she felt so much taller, back in the killer heels that raised her up. Teetering gently. Only once did she slip up and twist her ankle, trying her best not to limp.

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled and simply shook his head as they walked out the door. "Whatever you want to do. You can always just see me when you get lonely." He grinned and held her hand tightly as they started walking down the street. When she toppled slightly he wrapped his arm around her waist and help most of her weight up so she wouldn't be in anymore pain than necessary. Every now and again he'd lean down slightly to kiss her now much higher cheek.

He let her lead the way to her house and he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind as he waited for her to open the front door. When it swung open they stepped inside and he took Ravenna's hand again. That was until he saw the girl standing at the end of the hall. "Shit." Was all he could say as the girl sauntered up to him.

"Hey big boy. Come for an extra round?" Noah's face physically paled and he sent Ravenna a pleading and apologising look.

This was Mac.

How had he been so stupid?

[Cham]

Ravenna felt so calm with Noah. Especially when he helped her walk. Feeling slightly embarassed at first, but then getting over it when he seemed to enjoy a reason to hold her close. One of the times when he went to kiss her, she turned her head and kissed him right back, grinning and giggling like she never had before. Where had her Ms. Independence attitude gone???

But ignoring that, she continued, loving how his hands wrapped around her front, sending tingles into her southern hemisphere. Biting her lip as they walked into the little apartment. Missing the strange greeting from Mac. Rushing forward when she realized her baby sister was home. "Oh my gosh Mac!" She grinned, and hugged the girl, then looking down at the dress in desperate need of a wash. "Im sorry about this. You know. Had a date..." Blushing softly, Mac didnt seem to register that Noah WAS the date...

Grinning, she said softly "Im going to go change. Dont worry Mac, The dress will be pristine when i put it back" Moving into her bedroom, she blew a kiss to Noah, then stripping as quickly as she could and slipping into jeans and a tighter teeshirt that accented her curves. Walking out and seeing the two of them supposedly getting along.

[Lotus]

Noah was a strong, independent young man yet when Ravenna moved to leave him alone with her sister all he wanted to do was run after her and hide. This is what he was another thing he was scared of. It wasn't just committing and falling in love after everything he'd put Moni through, it was the fact that he could come into encounters with the girls and occasional women he'd been with. Not all of them were good encounters because some nights he just wanted to forget because he regretted them too much.

But here was Ravenna's sister, waltzing up to him like he'd come here to do the dirty with her. He sighed and took a step back. Why did it have to be Mac that was Ravenna's sister? Why couldn't it have been someone else. For Christ sake, he'd been the one to take her virginity after she'd sworn she'd already lost it; and from the way she was doing things it just made it seem true. She'd come back for more so many times after that. Mac was a nice girl and he wanted to help her move on from the life she'd chosen, the life he'd lived for far too long, but it would be difficult with having to explain the whole thing to Ravenna. She'd just think he did that to everyone and what would she think of him for taking her sisters innocence.

He hadn't noticed how close Mac had got whilst he'd been locked up on his own mind, so it came as a bit of a shock when he felt his back against the wall and Mac running her hands all over him. He tried to grab her hands and move them away from him, but she just kept coming back. He pushed away from the wall and slipped away from her, only for her to follow him and push him roughly against another wall. "Playing hard to get this time Noah?" She purred out and Noah physically shuddered.

Just then Ravenna came back down and his eyes shot open wide in fear when she came into the living room to see him against a wall with her younger sister all over him. He pushed her away and took a step back, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "It's not what you think, I promise."

[Cham]

Ravenna's eyes were wide as she saw Mac pressed up against Noah seductively, her hands travelling down. But with a glance, she could see he obviously wasnt going for it. The regret and sorrow was clear on his face. "Im not thinking anything" she said softly "Who wants a drink?"

Mac moved into the kitchen, pulling out a mysterious bottle of champagne. "Michaela! Where did this come from???" Ven moved forward, snatching it from her. Mac looked seductively up at Noah and said softly "Well, business is picking up you know."

Ven rolled her eyes and moved towards Noah, pushing her way into his arms and hugging him, feeling automatically calmed. Listening to the steady, strong heartbeat beneath the layers of muscle and skin.

Hearing a voice behind her after a moment "Wait... Are you... Were you her date?" Ven nodded her head quickly, and turned to face her now, "Yeah he was" Daggers were in her eyes, but Macs only looked a little reluctant and apologetic.

[Lotus]

Noah felt just a little awkward now with the whole situation as he held Ravenna in his arms. He looked at Mac and is gaze faltered. When Ravenna turned away to look at Mac, Noah let go of her slowly and took a step back. "I didn't mean to cause problems. Do you want me to leave?" He looked to Ravenna and she shook her head while she prepared drinks with Mac.

Mac seemed a little distant now and he sighed. "Do you want me to explain things?"

[Cham]

Mac now looked slightly uncomfortable as Ven sighed softly and walked to the cabinet. "Do you?" she asked a little strained, not wanting to really get into it, but assuming the worst. That her own sister had gotten a piece of Noah pie before her.

Her shoulders tensed up, and with shaking hands, poured them all a glass of champagne. Taking his hnd, she pulled him into the living room and Mac followed behind. Curling up on the small couch with Noah, her head on his shoulder as she sipped at her glass "So what happened..." She murmured.

[Lotus]

Noah gripped his champagne tightly as he sat down in the living room. He sighed and wrapped his arm tighter around Ravenna as he glanced at Mac from across the room. She looked frightened, before she toughened up a little bit. She shot him a stunning smile before settling back into the seat and letting him do all the talking.

He cleared his throat and tightened his grip. "I can't remember how long ago it was, but I met Mac when I was out one night. We went back to mine and... And..." He couldn't form the next words, he was scared of what Ravenna would think of him. It showed how bad his player ways were, how dreadful he used to be. It just made it all the worse that this was her sister.

"He took my virginity and I gave it willingly." She sounded so proud where as Noah just shrunk into the couch, hiding his face. "And it wasn't the last time we met either." Great, just great.
