The Burning Darkness
Chptr 7
The Proposal
Raven's jaw dropped. She was standing in her room staring at her boyfriend and best friend. She had had one of the most romantic dates of her life. She had received a gift that she had deeply wanted for a few years. To top off this wonderful night, Garfield had proposed. The green changling was on his knee holding up a beautiful engagement ring that shined spectacularly in the flickering candle light.
Raven's eyes were glued to the ring before her. She slowly released a breath that she didn't realize she had been holding. She loved everything. This night had been perfect. There was only one flaw with this perfect evening.
She wasn't ready. It wasn't that she didn't want to marry beast boy. She had thought about it many times. She even allowed the occasional fantasy about having kids with him someday. She loved him and would love to spend the rest of her life with him. Just; not starting now. They were still titans. How could she and him have a peaceful wedded life together when they were putting their lives on the line on an at least weekly basis. He was already a nervous wreck whenever it came to her getting even a minor injury. She could only imagine how that'd intensify if she was wearing a ring.
Speaking of rings, that'd be a horrible idea. Any intelligent villain would see the ring and immediately use one of them to hurt the other. They had done a great job keeping their relationship a secret from the outside world, but putting on wedding bands would only make it obvious. She wasn't always the most traditional person when it came to a relationship, but she always wanted to be able to wear a ring and show the world that someone could love her enough to marry her. Show that she isn't just some demoness, she's a person that deserves love.
"ahem, Earth to Rachel. Are you still there?" Garfields voice broke her out of her haze. Her eyes snapped back to his face. His eyes were full of hope and love. He only want to hear one word from her and had waited god knows how long for her to answer. She could see the nervousness slowly begin to slip behind his eyes.
"Oh Gar… I love it so much. I love you so much. This is all so overwhelming." She stalled. She knew her answer already. Bu she just needed some time to come up with the best anwer. If she was to direct she'd break his heart. If she beat around the bush he'd think she was just toying with him. She needed to formulate the perfect answer.
"I'm glad you enjoyed the night Rae, but I would like an answer to my question, my knee's starting to hurt haha." He let out a humorless chuckle. She could tell he was just trying to ease the tension that was forming around his heart. She needed to answer him now.
"I don't know yet Gar." That was stupid, she berated herself silently. "This I a huge decision. I need time. I'm sorry if that's not the answer you expected. I hope you aren't mad at me." She looked down at him with tears threatening to slip out. She needed to stay strong. The last thing she wanted was to see him more upset than he would be.
His eyes lost their shine as he looked back at the ring in his hands. He slowly brought the smile back to his face and looked at her again. "it's ok Rae. I know you don't wanna rush into such a major change. And I understand that you would want to take some time to think about it. I was hoping for a quick answer but, I guess you aren't ready yet. Just promise me you'll think about it ok?"
She smiled sadly at him. She felt horrible for not telling him the answer she was going to give him. She had to let him know soon. She didn't want him to stress him out worrying about her answer. "I promise I will Gar. Promis me you won't stress out about it ok?"
He smiled more genuinely, and nodded. "I promise to try. That's the best I can do ok? Now, would you like to finish this date the way that we were about to?" he wiggled his eyebrow and ears at her with a smirk. He knew she thought it was adorable and would probably give him what he wanted.
Raven smirked and slowly bent to his level. She looked into his eyes, and sensually said, "I think that you may have to remind me whatever it is you are talking about Logan." She brushed her finger along his chin as she stood back up and walked over towards the bed. Swaying her hips the whole way. When she reached the bed she unclipped the cloak and let it drop to the floor. She knew he loved her hips and ass the out of all her features. So she used them against him at every opportunity.
She could feel the lust building up in her man. She knew he want very good at controlling himself whenever she felt like teasing him. Tonight she felt like making his teasing extra good, after all he had created a wonderful anniversary date for her. He had earned a special treat. She turned around slowly. She lifted on hand as her eyes began to glow.
He was lifted onto the bed and a set of handcuffs was attached to his wrists and the bed frame. He tried playfully to remove himself from his shackles. He looked back up at her with a seductive growl that sent a chill down her spine. "I think you know exactly where we were and what you plan to do next."
She smile sensually and turned on some music with a flick of a wrist. She began to sway with the dance. Hands running up and down her body. After following the beat for a minute she began to unzip her leotard. As soon as it was unzipped she turned her back to him as she slid it slowly down her body, revealing she was only wearing a tight pair of boy shorts and nothing else underneath. She looked back at him with a wink. She couldn't help but take a second to stare at the tent he was pitching for her show.
Raven loved the way she could get him excited so easily. It was the only sure way she found that would get him to shut up and only focus where she wanted. Right now his eyes were exactly where she wanted them. On her ass. She loved her hips. They were the one part of her anatomy that made her feel sexy and his eyes were glued to them. She began o shake and move her body with the music. She danced and ran her hands along her body. She wanted to tempt him as much as possible. Wanted him desperate. Wanted that animal to take over. She couldn't explain it but she loved being taken. Loved having him worked up to the point where instincts take over and he just takes her completely. And,tonight, she needed the animal.
After she finished her dance for him she slipped her underwear off. She turned back to him and was pleasantly surprised by the sight. He had shattered the handcuffs and stripped. His bared body and erect nine inch member focused intently on her. She had unleashed the beast. The sight of him barely holding back in front of her, excited her in a very primal way. With one last act of mock defiance she smirked at him and said, "What are you waiting for beastie? I'm over here."
The next morning Raven woke later than usual. Her whole body was sore and tender. She could feel each hickey on her neck and each bruise from where he had groped her roughly. Overall… second best sex she ever had. Next only to that night she, Starfire and Garfield had gotten hammered after an intense fight that had cause Star and Robin to break up for a few weeks. That was a night Garfield had forgotten thanks to the alcohol, but not the Tamaranian or the Demoness. They had barely spoken for a week after that. She had felt awkward and Star had felt guilty, believing that that had counted as cheating on Robin.
Raven turned to see him covered him in bruises and scratches of his own. She smirked, "Good, if I have to be covered in hickeys and have the team stare at me, then he does too." She thought happily.
"Garfield, wake up. We gotta get cleaned up and meet the team downstairs." With that she kissed him hard and got up to get showered. He groaned at waking up earlier than he wanted but watched her limp slightly to the shower. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself. Not every night could he love her up so much she passed out without dressing.
"This is gonna be a great day," he thought to himself with a devious smirk as he rushed to the bathroom for round two.
Meanwhile, deep underground, Goryo had finished his meditations and sent a message through the criminal syndicates throughout the city. The next phase of his plan was beginning. He would soon test each member of the Titans in the best ways he could imagine. He would fulfill his contract, no matter how the Demoness had shaken his core and reminded him of his lost love.
