"Mmmmm, fuck, Raven. Feels good."

Raven smiled into Clarke's womanhood as she increased her ministrations, slipping two fingers into her girlfriend's slick opening.

She loved sucking Clarke off after a long day of classes. For whatever reason, the blonde's flavor always tasted amazing the more exhausted she was.

Clarke was a pre-med student and daughter of well renown surgeon Abby Griffin. She grew up under a lot of pressure to become a great doctor like her mother.

Raven had a similar tale in respects to her parents being highly renowned scientists themselves who pushed the brunette academically. As a result, Raven attended the most prestigious schools growing up and received the best tutoring money could buy.

By college, Raven was enrolled in the highly-coveted training course for space-engineering. Her dream was to help in the design of a space station.

Since she was a young girl, she had always been mesmerized by the sky and the moon and the stars. She'd always felt a connection with nature she'd never been able to explain. When you came from a life of money, privilege, and expectation, however, exploring nature became a distant fantasy.

While she loved them dearly, Raven's parents pushed the mechanic beyond her limits when it came to academics. Raven's mothers were Becca and Peri Reyes. Not only were they two exemplary scientists, they were creationists.

Although specializing in AI, they took a break shortly after getting married to make Raven. That's right, make. Raven was a petri dish baby. Her DNA consisting of each parent. It was no surprise to anyone Raven turned out female and a genius.

The mechanic was the pride and joy of her parent's accomplishments in life. They'd treasured Raven from birth and although overbearing at times, loved her dearly. Raven's existence was a miraculous one.

Clarke moaned again, sending a pleasant shiver through Raven's body and a fresh flood between her own legs.

Just as Raven moved her mouth to the swollen bean she'd been avoiding, Clarke's cell phone started chirping, indicating an incoming text.

Clarke shifted, messing up Raven's rhythm while reaching for the phone. Raven cleared her throat incessantly in a failed attempt to get her girlfriend to refocus.

Frustrated, Raven lifted her head up to glare at Clarke. "Do you mind? We're kind of in the middle of something here!"

Clarke's eyes never left the electronic. "It could be important."

"And is it?"

"Octavia wants to know if I can study with her tonight."

"So, no."

"Just keep going, Rae. It feels good."

With a huff and a roll of her eyes, Raven sprung from the bed and reached for her clothes. The act of intimacy was almost over anyway. Clarke liked to come once then roll over and go to sleep. The mechanic would've been left hot and bothered and left to her own devices as usual.

"What the hell, Raven? I wasn't finished."

"You are now. What's sad is this isn't the first time you've answered your phone during sex!"

Clarke swore under her breath before turning back to her phone, thumbs flying across the screen. "Whatever."

After finished getting dressed, Raven looked at the time. 7:23 p.m.

"Fuck," Raven groaned.

That got Clarke's attention. "What?"

"We were supposed to have dinner with my moms tonight at seven."

Clarke went back to her phone without a hint of concern.

"Dammit, Clarke. Will you get dressed please?"

Clarke shrugged. "Oh, so now you want me to do something? You know, it wasn't cool of you to just stop halfway through like that. I've been really stressed lately, Raven. I was looking forward to getting off tonight."

Raven's eyes bulged, she didn't even know where to begin with that statement. At the same time, she didn't want to fight. They were already more than twenty minutes late. Meeting up with Raven's parents even just for dinner was a difficult feat. Becca and Peri lived and breathed work.

"Clarke pleeeeease? You know how hard it is to get together with them."

Clarke's legs fell open as she continued to stare at her phone.

"You have to be kidding."

"I'm not," Clarke said sternly.

"Fine. I'll go without you."

She didn't give Clarke a chance to respond as she stormed out of their dorm room, down the hall of Ark University and out the tall glass doors of the building toward the parking lot.

She was furious with Clarke. It was like all the intimacy between them was disintegrating before her very eyes. Clarke seemed so disinterested lately. They had been together for five years, was it possible Clarke didn't love Raven anymore? And the scarier question, did Raven still love her?

Just as she reached her car, Raven stopped at the roar of a familiar car engine behind her.

Shit.

If her parents showed up at the dorm, that meant Raven had missed her window with spending time with them, and they had to get back to work.

Dread filled Raven as she watched the black SUV belonging to her parents come to a halt, parking on the curb of the student parking lot. Peri climbed out of the passenger side, adjusting her glasses as she smiled at Raven then lifted her arms as if to ask, 'where you been?'

"Hey Mom, I'm so sorry," Raven said enveloping Peri in a hug.

"Raven, we had a really small window to make this work," came Becca's frustrated tone as she rounded the car.

Raven turned toward her other mother to grasp in a tight hug. "I'm so sorry, Mother Becs."

Becca placed a kiss to Raven's cheeks before pulling away and pinching her brows together. "Lose track of time in Clarke's sex, did we?"

"Uhh..what?" How could Becca have known?

"You smell, Raven." Becca shook her head and threw her hands in the air as if fed up. Anger evident in her fiery glare.

Peri let out a disappointed sigh as she put an attentive hand on Becca's arm. The taller scientist seemed to calm considerably but the angry gleam never left Becca's eye.

"Look," Peri said gently. "Stuff happens. We'll have dinner another time."

Fire flooded Raven's cheeks, she could already feel the tears welling. "I-I'm sorry, Clarke w-wanted…"

"Forget it," Becca huffed. "We need to go. Get in the car, Peri. Have a nice night, Raven. Maybe next month you can make some time for your parents?"

It was a rhetorical question. A harsh one that stabbed Raven in the heart. She felt such a fool. She didn't mean to lose track of time. But it was hard to get Clarke to cooperate sometimes until she got what she wanted.

Peri lingered behind a moment and hugged Raven again while Becca stormed back to the car. "Please, try to make dinner next time, Raven. Know that we love you, okay?"

Raven nodded, unable to speak as she held back the emotion tearing her throat apart. Peri kissed her forehead before retreating to the SUV, she turned at the last second to offer Raven a pained smile before she closed the door.

Raven let the tears fall as her parents drove away into the night. She sat on the curb where they'd been parked. The night had turned so wrong so fast. Now she was livid with Clarke. Though it wasn't entirely the blonde's fault.

Raven stared at the illuminated 'Ark University' letters of the gallant street sign just a few feet from her. The mechanic knew how lucky she was to be there and in the space program no less. She had the grades, the money, the family influences, and of course, lived on the right side of the tracks.

There were a set of train tracks that divided the city of Polis into two sectors. The wealthy and privileged, and the scum, to put it simply.

Except for a hot head girlfriend and overworked parents, Raven shouldn't have been on the verge of having a breakdown.

Clarke would calm down soon enough. Her parents would forgive her. They loved her and understood time was precious. Especially with how little of it they got with each other these days.

All was well, or soon would be. So why did she feel like something was missing? That something was inconceivably wrong?
