"Forget this!" Raphael growled in frustration at the practice dummy, throwing his Sai down. His brothers watched as he stalked off for the fifth time today.

It was only a few days into mating season and with his all ready aggressive demeanor the red banned turtle was taking it the hardest. All he wanted to do was fight, which wasn't any different from normal but now he wanted a prize at the end. The same thing happened every year once summer hit. "Where are you going?" Leo demanded, seeing as Raph was heading towards the exit.

"Out!" He yelled back then disappeared before the others could stop him. His haste took him to the normal manhole cover quickly. With a look around, he jumped out then scaled the closest building to assure no one would see him.

The normal smells of New York City faded away from his senses and were only replaced with the maddening scent of female horomones. He grunted as he moved from rooftop to rooftop, not aware or caring where he was going. Away or closer.

To his dismay, the sounds of the city had not vanished, they grew louder with each passing second. It fueled the instinct in his chest like a drum beat of war. There had to be a way or a person to take this insanity from him. "You get you're hands off me!" A hoarse female voice screamed from the street. He came to a skidding halt upon the angry yelling and took a peak over the ledge he was perched on. "You can't treat me like this!"

It was Cherry, she was being lead out of what looked like a community center by a large man in white. "This is a place for people to heal their addictions, not to pick up Johns."

Cherry was a well known prostitute around these blocks, he and his brothers had saved her a few times from her pimp that enjoyed beating his employees. "I am an addict!"

The man scoffed. "You only come here to earn your nights pay, now get!". He went back inside as she finally gave up the fight. Something about the scene perked Raphael's interest, enough to climb down and check it out. On the outside of the door, just within his viewing range, was a poster that read:

Sex Addicts Anonymous

9:30-10pm

Coffee and doughnuts served free.

His eyes widened with the spark of opportunity, this was the solution to his problem. Ducking low, he came to the edge of the window where a group of people sat in a circle. A middle aged man was standing up, most likely explaining the stituation with Cherry to everyone. "Now, I see a few new faces, why don't you introduce yourself," he took a seat then motioned to another.

Three people stood up, told their name and a small story of why they were here but it was the fourth that caught his attention. The farthest away sat a girl, in her late teens maybe early twenties, expression was careless if not bored. "Riley, would you like to start then?"

She rolled her darkly lined eyes. "Not really," she responded as she twirled a thin piece of unnaturally colored red hair around her finger.

"You know it's mandatory," he persisted.

"To be honest, I don't know why I'm here, or anyone of you for that matter," she began. "It's sex, one of those most natural things anyone can do. I'm not a addict, just a naturalist."

He watched her defiant behavior with excitement that made his plastron grow uncomfortably tight. "So you think at your age your behavior is acceptable?" The man countered.

She leaned forward to stare him in the eye. "At my age, a few hundred years ago I'd be married with seven children before I turned sixteen," a knowing look flashed across her face before she returned back to her normal sitting in the chair. "Our 'addiction' was celebrated by the Greeks, Pagans and plenty of other cultures."

He hummed as she finished her sentence. "Do you think that's what the judge will see it as or the man's wife you had relations with?" The entire room watched carefully as they knew the back and forth between the two was not over.

"What are you doing?!" Leo rounded the corner followed by the other two terrapins.

Raph shot away from the window. "I'm solving a problem," he answered snidely.

The brothers quickly examined the same poster that had originally caught his attention. Leo turned on him with a disgusted glare. "This is your solution? Preying on people's weakness for a moment of relief?"

Raph tried to expelle the surge of anger rising in his head before he did something he may regret. "It's not like that, Leo." He managed through gritted teeth.

"It's exactly like that," Leo stated firmly. "You're coming back home with us before you do something stupid.". Raph tilted his head to the side as if he couldn't believe what his ears just heard. He stepped closer to Leo, puffing his plastron out to assert his dominance.

"You gonna make me?" His face was only inches away at now. Leo made it a point not to break eye contact but when Raph was in season fighting with him became more dangerous then usual. "I didn't think so."

"You're more trouble then it's worth, right now." Leo began to walk away. "But if you're not back soon, I will bring you down." In an instant the brothers disappeared, leaving Raph to go back to his examining.

Within the time the confrontation had happened and the interruption, the room had calmed down leaving the girl to brood in her chair whilst the others talked freely. He studied each small movement she made; whether it was her nervous tapping foot or when she started chewing on her nails. "All right, I think we've covered some important ground today." The man clapped his hands together as they began to rise. "And remember, if your feeling any urges or temptations, call your sponsor and talk through it rather then act."

When everyone came crowding towards the doors, Raph his in the alleyway, watching patiently for Riley to emerge. They all gathered into various vehicles or around bus stops but she just stood on the edge of the street, watching them leave. She lit a cigarette, sauntering down the street without a care. "Hey," Raph called from his hiding space.

He could tell this was a bad idea, talking to humans, revealing himself, it could only end bad. Yet his hormone induced brain screamed for this girl like nothing it ever had before. She could give him what he wanted. What he needed. "Hey!" He said a little louder this time as she almost walked passed. Her head flipped to the side facing the dark alley, an eyebrow raised curiously.

"Yes?" She answered unmoving. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't go down a place like that in New York. She tried adjusting her eyes from her safe point in the light but with no luck. "I'm not interested in drugs if that's what your selling'."

"I think we can help each other," he retorted, slowly inching forward.

She crossed her arms before taking another drag off her cigarette. "Oh yeah? How ya figure that one, buddy?" Her response was full of saracasm but as the figure grew closer her nerves began to quiver. Whoever this was, was a large man well over a foot taller then her and getting taller as it came closer.

"I saw you at that meeting," he explained, now just barely in the cloak of shadows.

She huffed a sigh. "I see, your gonna offer me the time of my life which will be mediocre at best," she laughed. "Buddy there ain't nothin' you can do to surprise me."

A predatory grin flashed acrossed his lips as he took the final step out of his cover. Her eyes grew large taking in the sight of the massive turtle. The cigarette fell from her lips as she took a step back to fully take a look at the creature standing before her. He was almost two feet taller with muscles that traced around every line of his green skin. His face was surprisingly human despite some of the prominent features missing, like ears. "I have an offer to take make you."

"Okay, I'm listening."

A/N: Needless to say this story will have a lot of smut in the next however many chapters, cause it involving mating season Raph and a sex addict. So if that's not your thing, turn away now. If it is, go right on ahead and enjoy. Thanks!
