Got a problem with me? (CAM)

[Cham]

Ravenna chuckled softly when she saw Noah stop and smell the aroma of basil and tomato waifting around the first floor. "I am preparing a meal for my boyfriend and I" Setting the pot of now warm sauce on the table, she moved toward Noah when she saw the injury. "Sweetheart what the hell have you done to youre hand???" The droplets of blood fell down his knuckles, and then go the floor. A small amound in his hair and clotted on his face. He was a mess...

As best she could, she dragged him to the table, grabbing the first aid kit in the kitchen and finding the splint. It didnt take long before she had the wound washed and wrapped. The entire time stonily silent, consentrating as hard as she could to ensure the least amount of pain.

Finally tucking the last shred of the splint together and sighing "I'm just not even going to ask what happened right now. I'm just going to have a nice and quiet dinner. Is that ok?" Smiling softly, she giggled and sat next to him at the other set place.

[Lotus]

Noah tried not to wince as Ravenna sorted out his hand and he made it through. After all, he'd had worse from his training days and he'd have had a lot worse if he had actually been reaped or he'd volunteered. He nodded his head at her request and settled down properly at the table, smiling as she giggled to herself.

"Thank you." Then he started tucking into the meal in front of him, all rather awkwardly at best, but he managed to eat; slowly. It was simply delicious and he grinned from ear to ear as he finished his plate. "Damn woman you can cook." He chuckled softly and ran his good hand through his hair. "Shame I can't compete in anything right now." He grinned cheekily and leant over to kiss her cheek softly.

[Cham]

Ravenna looked up sheepishly to Noah as she finished the last few bites of her meal. "Well, pasta is cheap, and the herbs and tomatos I can grown on my own. So naturally Im used to eating a lot of it. But that gets boring. I learned how to improvise." She set her hand softly on his, and tilted her cheek towards him ashe kissed her.

"I can teach you. Its not too difficult" Taking a moment, she stood up, stretched for a moment, then picked up her plate and his. "Ill take care of the dishes. You sir need a shower" Leaning down to kiss his lips quickly, running a finger across his cheek "And probably a shave my scruffy love."

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled and stood up, but not before getting in a quick kiss. "Yes, my lady. But the thing is, you'd love me with stubble or not." He grinned and sauntered out of the kitchen and upstairs. He quickly showered, washing away all the dirt and sweat from work and his run before drying himself off and dressing in slacks and a long-sleeved black t-shirt. He left his hair wet and shaved, just like his girl told him to do. He chuckled at how whipped he'd become.

He ran down the stairs and into the kitchen, wrapping his arms gently around Ravenna's waist and kissing her temple. "How ya feeling baby?"

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled and stood up, but not before getting in a quick kiss. "Yes, my lady. But the thing is, you'd love me with stubble or not." He grinned and sauntered out of the kitchen and upstairs. He quickly showered, washing away all the dirt and sweat from work and his run before drying himself off and dressing in slacks and a long-sleeved black t-shirt. He left his hair wet and shaved, just like his girl told him to do. He chuckled at how whipped he'd become.

He ran down the stairs and into the kitchen, wrapping his arms gently around Ravenna's waist and kissing her temple. "How ya feeling baby?"

[Cham]

Van giggled and kissed Noah back before he sauntered away, whispering to herself "Well he's not wrong..." Seemingly unable to wipe the small shy smile off her face as she packaged up the remaining food and began to wash the dishes.

Noah didnt take long, and she could see he hurried by the little patch of scruff left just under his chin as she turned to look at him entering the room. Grinning at him, she felt Noah wrapping his arms around her frame so gently. She leaned back into him, wiping her hands on the towel before mimicking his arms, and wrapping hers over his. "I am feeling quite a bit better now thanks to you" Sighing softly and just basking in the tender moment.

[Lotus]

Noah couldn't help but smile softly as he leant down to kiss her forehead. "I'm glad. Now how about we go relax upstairs?" He saw the raised eyebrow from Ravenna and he chuckled whilst rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "Not like that." His cheeks felt slightly hot and he stepped away from her, grinning embarrassingly.

He held out his good hand for her to take before they headed upstairs. He sat on the edge of the bed, opening his arms out for Ravenna to curl up in his embrace. He needed her right now just as much as she needed him. He took a deep breath in and smiled softly. "I love you Ravenna. So much." He kissed her cheek softly and chuckled to himself, again, at how whipped he was when it came to her. But did he really care? Not one bit.

[Cham]

Ravenna giggled softly at Noah;s slight blush "You look so cute when you get embarrassed... I love it" She leaned up to kiss him gently before taking his hand and following as he led her up the steps. Slipping into his embrace when he opened his arms to her. Curling up on his lap.

Her arms wrapped around herself, and she felt his hand on hers. Moving only a little, she clasped her hand in his "I love you too Noah. I never thought i would feel like this for someone... It scares me a little" Tucking her head down further almost in shame before realizing there was no need to feel shameful infront of him and bringing her head up to his, leaning up and kissing him softly.

[Lotus]

Noah kissed her back gently, reached one hand up to brush her hair out of her face gently. He pulled away with one quick kiss before smiling down at her. "You're beautiful." And no, he had never said that to anyone in his life before; other than Moni, but that was just a little different. This time he meant it, he meant it so badly. He smiled down at her and his eyes only showed the love he felt for her, but then fright and frustration filled them.

"What if this kids mine?"

[Cham]

Ven shook her head softly, but looked back up into his eyes "Ive never been told that before..." Swallowing softly as she saw her own emotion reflected in his eyes.

Her blood ran cold when he asked the question. "Well... I honestly dont think Mac could take care of a baby... Shes never cared for anyone or anything in her life except for herself" Ven's limbs began to tremble and she shivered as she felt a breeze across her skin. "Im scared for the baby, but i think she might give it up..."

Contorting her face as a thought came to mind. "Noah..." Her fingers clenched the front of his shirt "Sweetheart... What if we adopted it..."

[Lotus]

Noah shook his head back and forth, wrapping his arms tighter around Ravenna whilst burying his face in her neck. "I don't want it to be mine. I don't want my past screwing me up more that it already has done. I want a life with you and if that baby's mine I won't be able to. Even if we adopt it to save the child's life, I'll just be constantly reminded of my mess up..." He trailed off as tears pricked his eyes. "It can't be mine..." He sniffed softly and tightened his arms again, but releasing quickly when he heard Ravenna whimper. "Sorry baby..."

He relaxed his arms and closed his eyes, trying to think. Think back to when he had been with Mac. Then it hit him, Mac hadn't fully been a regular because she was new to the scene so he hadn't been with her that much. "Ravenna? When does a pregnancy start to show?"

[Cham]

Ravenna caressed Noahs head as he sought solace from her. "My darling, how do you think I feel? Knowing my sister had my boyfriend before I did?" She tightened her fists softly, but relaxed them "We will have to do our best... but I will love the baby as my own... and if you want we can have more of our own. It doesbt need to know its not really mine..."

Leaning in to kiss him, gently "2 maybe 3 months?" She said softly. Running her fingers through his hair. "Just remember that I love you despite the choices youve made before.

[Lotus]

Noah nodded his head stiffly, but at her final words a little it of hope ripped through him. He opened his eyes slowly and leaned down to her. "I don't think it's mine. The last time I was with Mac was two months ago, but we never went all the way 'cause...well...er...you don't need to know. You just need to know that we just didn't. I was fully with her around four months ago, and if she's not showing yet it can't be mine. Right?" His eyes held hope and he really wished Ravenna would share that hope with him.

He was selfish to not want the baby, but he would rather have his own with Ravenna that one that was an accident and a reminder of all his past mistakes in his sad excuse of a life. Then he hoped she didn't ask why he'd stumbled over his words and he cursed himself that he hadn't been more careful; she didn't need to be hurt more.

[Cham]

Ravenna's blood froze. She wanted to know. She wanted to know everything. But she knew that her heart couldnt bear that kind of pain... Knowledge is both a gift and a curse. But she only continued to caress his head, cradling him as he held onto her for dear life. "Noah... I dont think its yours. If she is even pregnant at all that is... But we can get tests done after if you really want to."

Tipping his head up, she kissed his trembling lips softly. "Sweetheart everything is going to be just fine. We are going to rebuild our life. Together" Smiling, she pushed gently on his chest, laying him back on the bed before shimmying around to pull the covers over them. "For now lets just forget it and act our age" She giggled.

[Lotus]

Noah nodded his head stiffly. "I think I'll have to so I know I can face having kids with you without having the knowledge of my mess up being out there..." He trailed off and leant into the soft kiss on his lips. He was fighting so hard to stay in control of his emotions, but his past made him out of control.

He laid back when she pushed him and he managed a smile up at her. Only Ravenna and Moni were able to make him smile when he felt rubbish; even Ravenna before he knew her. Just thinking of her before he managed to talk to her made him smile and tight in his trousers. He chuckled softly and raised an eyebrow cheekily. "And how do you propose we act our age?"

[Cham]

"My love, I think you are free of that burden. I was living with the woman for fucks sake. She never showed any signs" Nuzzling her nose against his, then shimmying closer "I have a few ideas..." Kissing his neck and whispering "Trust me baby..." Unzipping his trousers and slipping them down. She felt his WHOLE body stiffen, and ran her fingers up to the edge of his shirt "Trust me love." Grinning like a Cheshire.

What she had in mind was not his fears as she slipped out of the bed, groaning only a little to stand up. "Come watch a movie with me" Her cheeks a little red seeing his state, and loving it.

[Lotus]

Noah nodded, his whole body tense. He couldn't do this, he wasn't in the right frame of mind. It would be just like what those sluts and his trainees had said, he'd take his stress out on her and she wouldn't enjoy a thing because he'd be too frustrated to give a damn.

But then she stood up, with bright red cheeks and asked something that really made his mood flip a 180. She wanted to watch a movie? He rested up on his elbows and nodded his head softly, smiling at her. "Go fetch one from the display cabinet in the living room and bring it up here. I'll get the t.v. set up." He slipped off the edge of the bed. "But remember, it's only underwear or nude in bed okay?" He winked and walked over to the desk in the other corner of the room, chuckling to himself at her expression. Joking around was helping him calm down, just as much as just knowing she was his to love.

[Cham]

Saluting, she giggled, walking as quickly as her body would allow to the display. She had only seen a few movies before. Not of course including the games.

Shivering momentarily she pushed them from her mind. Not wanting to think about that in the slightest. Her time of terror was over.

Pulling a random movie out, she stopped for a second. Remembering what Noah had said about the rules of the bed. He had after all given her the choice... why shouldnt she take it? Walking back into their bedroom, and whilist he faced away from her, she slipped the little straps of the nightgown off her shoulders. Letting the material pool at her feet before slipping back into the bed and under the covers. Knowing the little secret he didnt.

[Lotus]

Noah turned round to see Ravenna tucked up under their covers and he smiled lovingly over to her. He reached for the movie she'd picked and left on the bed and raised his eyebrow at her. "Do you know what this is?" She shrugged her shoulders, or he thought she did beneath the covers, and he chuckled. "Well, let's see if you enjoy a good fright."

He put the movie in and clicked play before he wandered back to their bed. He slipped under the covers and ran a hand through his hair before wrapping his arm around Ravenna's shoulders. He smiled down at her and kissed her softly on the top of her head before moving closer to her. He needed to feel her close. Yet his eyes grew wide as he lifted up the covers. Then he chuckled and shook his head, "Trying to tempt me are we baby?"

[Cham]

Ven grinned as Noah settled himself into the bed next to her. But when his hands touched her bare skin, and his eyes widened, she giggled softly."Tempt? Why would i have to tempt you my love? Im only doing as you asked..." Biting her lower lip and reaching for him, cuddling closer.

"Come here you" She whispered as she pulled herself to him, her head on his shoulder, chests touching, one arm slung over his taut stomach halfway under the sheets. Laying a tender kiss on his cheek and letting her body settle into his only to have the comfort ripped from her as the first fright of the movie popped out. This time when she settled back against him she was clutching him for dear life instead of tenderly holding him.

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled as she jumped at the first scary point in the movie, and he held her tightly to him. He let go of her with one hand and pulled his boxers down, just because he could and he wanted to distract her slightly as the next scary section came up. He kissed the top of her head as he flung his boxers somewhere in the room. "The bad, tough girl is afraid of a movie? Since when do you feel fear?" He kissed the top of her head again and rubbed his hands up and down her arm.

He supposed that the only good thing with watching a scary movie was that she would not dare to let go of him and he smiled at the thought. His only problem now though was that he couldn't pay attention to what was on screen but rather the emotions and actions Ravenna was showing every minute. It made him smile and fascinated him a fair bit.

[Cham]

Ravenna only payed a moment of attention to Noah as he stripped himself down bare. Feeling his body moving just a little differently against her. Not that she exactly minded that...

But the next fright terrified her, and she buried her face into his shoulder as he chuckled at her "I can handle blood and gore only when im inflicting it. And you above all others should know its only a mask..." Her voice trembled slightly.

She became mute as the film ran on, her grip tighter and tighter until she realized that Noah was wincing from the nails digging into him "Perhaps this wasnt one of my best ideas now was it?" She whispered, promising once again and failing in only seconds that she wouldnt look at the screen again. Finding that she had worked herself several inches down under the covers. "I am absolutly pathetic now arnt i?"

[Lotus]

Noah shook his head and slowly removed her fingernails from his skin, gripping her hands in his instead. "Not at all baby. There are some things people just can't stand." He chuckled softly and brushed some of her hair away from her eyes. "It probably wasn't the best idea, but you haven't left my side so I'm not complaining." He grinned and reached for the remote, turning the movie off. "That better?"

When he saw her nod he then allowed himself to relax. He knew he'd seen the movie before, but he had no clue how far they'd gotten into it. He'd been too distracted keeping an eye on Ravenna. He'd noticed she'd moved under the covers to try and shield herself from the television and he knew just hope to make her feel better and change the mood. All he had to do was try and let his player ways come out slightly. "You thinking of going down on me by inching under the covers all this time? If you are don't hold back, I'm waiting." He chuckled at her slightly shocked face and then calmed down, squirming a little. Maybe his ways had come out a little bit too much. He sighed and ran a hand over his face. "Forget that."

[Cham]

Ravenna gripped Noah's hands tightly, leaning her forehead into his shoulder like a frightened little puppy. "Much, thank you" Her body trembled slightly and she groaned "Most definitely not my best idea" Giggling a little at his comment about her not leaving.

Leaning up, she brushed a kiss across his lips and smiled softly. But he quipped about her inching under the covers, and her cheeks blushed. Part of her knew that subconsciously she had in fact been thinking something along those lines. But she thought she might surprised him a bit once he seemed to realize he was a little forward "And here I am thinking im oh so clever... Youre only half right though..." Keeping under the covers, she straddled his stomach, then sitting up and letting the covers pool around them. "Just not the right sex act" Giggling softly, then leaning down to kiss him.

"My love you had better hold on tight... Cause im going to take you for the ride of your life"

[Lotus]

**The Sexy Stuff Between**

Noah had never thought he could let a girl take control over him, he just didn't think he had it in him to feel powerless. He'd felt powerless before and he'd never wanted to feel that again. With any other girl he'd always forced them under him, telling them he did not want them above him because that was just how he worked. But with Ravenna it was different. He allowed himself to feel powerless just because of the pleasure that was shown clearly on her face and because he trusted her whole heartedly.

When they both came down from their high, he wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her down so she was laying against her head. He could not put into words how that made him feel and he was shocked that he wanted that to happen again in the future; even if he'd been hesitant when she first straddled him. He kissed the crown of her head and sighed contently. "Do you feel better now?"
