Chapter Ten: Better in time

The weeks passed after the altercation on top of the roof between Raphael and I and every time I thought about it, I never managed to get it out of my mind that Raphael had actually been worried about me. Sitting in my house with April and Casey living with me too was pretty much a constant reminder of the now...practically non-existent relationship between me and Raphael. I remember sitting in my room one night with tears rolling down my face when April had come in and I remember her sitting down on my bed with me and pulling me into a hug.

April and Sapphire sat there on the bed, Sapphire's head buried in April's chest as the latter rubbed up and down her arm.

"It'll sort itself out Sapphy, don't you worry about it" April said.

Sapphire sniffled and shook her head.

"No it won't April, you know it won't. Raph's too hard headed for that. I need to talk to him" she said.

April looked down at the brown haired woman and gave a kind smile.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

Sapphire nodded and then sat up, wiping her face off before taking a deep breath.

"Yeah; I mean...Raph's not the NightWatcher anymore right? So he should be in the lair. The thing is getting him to actually talk with me" she replied.

April gave a small smile.

"I could help with that if you want" She said.

Sapphire looked at her.

"How?" She asked.

April grinned mischievously.

I hadn't known what she had been planning, all I had known was that she had been planning something that was probably going to be getting either me or Raph to do something against our will.

Sapphire was laying in her bed when she heard her window opening and closing. She turned over to see a figure stood there, she recognised it easily with the way it was stood.

"R-Raph?" She asked.

The figure gave one curt nod, not moving, that is until Sapphire got up and threw herself at him, hugging him. He just stood there, not hugging back, just as still as a statue.

"April said you wanted ta talk ta me" he replied.

Sapphire pulled herself from the hug and she sighed, she put her hands on his crossed arms and pulled them a little. He let her move them and looked away from her as she took his hands in her own.

"Raph, I'm so sorry. Those things I said that night on that rooftop, I didn't mean them" she said.

Raphael looked at her and his eyes showed his hurt.

"Ya hurt me Sapphy. Ya hurt me by leavin', but then ta say what ya said on that roof, it hurt bad" he stated.

Sapphire looked up at him again, tears in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry. I-I didn't wanna go, and I wish now I had said goodbye and told you why I was going" she said.

She bowed her head and started to cry. She then felt him take one of his hands away before she felt it under her chin. She lifted her head as he prompted and was surprised when she felt his lips on hers.

"Yer back now, that's all that matters right?" He asked.

Sapphire smiled at him and pulled him into a hug, one which he returned.

After that night, things started looking up for Raphael and I. We stayed in, watched movies with one another and I cooked him some food sometimes, it was like we were having dates still. Of course, in between of continuing my training and seeing Raphael, I was keeping in touch with my sister in England via video link on the computer and via phone.

Sapphire was talking on the computer via video link with her sister.

"So when do I get to meet this handsome boyfriend of yours?"Sophia asked.

Sapphire chuckled as she unpacked the recently brought clothes from the bags that she had on her bed.

"It all depends on him Sophia. If he wants you to meet him, I'll let you meet him. If not, that's his decision" she said.

Sophia pouted a little and Sapphire chuckled a little.

"But that might take forever!" Sophia whined.

Sapphire chuckled more and stopped what she was doing.

"Well, I'll see what I can do, but no promises" she said.

Sophia did a little jump for joy from where she was sat and then Sapphire heard a knock on the window.

"Listen Soph, I have to go. I'll talk to you tomorrow yeah?" She asked.

Sophia nodded and both said goodbye before Sapphire shut the computer down and opened the window.

"Hey handsome" she said.

Raphael smiled and her and pecked her on the lips before she moved back to let him climb through her window. He sat down on her bed and watched her as she put her clothing away, before she came back and sat next to him on the bed.

"How've you been?" She asked.

The darker green turtle smiled and winked at her.

"Yanno, the usual. Gettin' inta fights with Leo, trainin', bein' a hothead" he replied.

Sapphire chuckled a little.

"You?" He asked.

She looked at him and gave a small smile.

"Talking with April and Casey, buying new clothes, putting them away, talking to my sister and then...thinking about you" she answered.

This time Raphael chuckled and pulled her into a hug.

I guess after we made up and everything, mine and Raphael's relationship was rapidly progressing to the heavy petting stage. I had to admit, it was kinda weird for me, doing all that, seeing as I'd never had a hand between my legs other than my own.

Raphael and Sapphire were laying on Sapphire's bed kissing. Raphael was laying half on, half off of Sapphire and his hands were almost everywhere. Sapphire let out a moan when his hand rubbed up to her clothed breast.

"You like that?" Raphael asked.

Sapphire nodded and he did it again, causing her to moan again. He began to kiss her again as his hand wandered south, beginning to rub her between the legs through her jeans. This caused her to gasp and Raphael stopped.

"What is it?" He asked.

Sapphire looked at him and blushed.

"I've never felt anything like that before" she replied.

Raphael raised an eye ridge.

"Did it feel good?" He asked.

Sapphire nodded and Raphael smiled, doing it again. Sapphire moaned and then she felt her jeans being undone and heard the zipper.

"What're you doing?" She asked.

Raphael looked up and smiled at her.

"Shhh...it's alright. It'll feel better without the jeans" he answered.

Still a little apprehensive, Sapphire gave a small nod and let him do whatever he was doing. She felt him touch her there again and she gasped louder, blushing when she felt a rush of warm wetness flood that area.

"Oh my god, do that again!" She exclaimed.

He did it again and she gasped with a moan this time and her head was thrown back into the pillows.

It had felt weird, having Raphael touch me down there, I remember feeling pure embarrassment when he took my panties off and began to rub me there with his bare flesh touching mine. It was even worse when he lowered his head to my most sensitive part. But all that feeling washed away when I felt his tongue on me, dear god, I'll never forget the feeling it gave me.

"Oh my god Raph!" Sapphire moaned.

Raphael smiled from where he was, licking her there again and listening to her reaction, which happened to be another moan. He continued to do this until she reached her peak and then he lapped up all of her juices, coming back up and smacking his lips together. Sapphire blushed deeply and he gave a smile, wiping his lips off before he reached up to kiss her. She kissed him back, pulling away slightly at the taste of herself.

"Ewww!" She exclaimed.

Raphael chuckled and then lay down next to her. She lay there panting, before she sat up. Raphael went to ask her what she was doing, until he felt her hand on his plastron. He felt her hand move downwards and he sat up, grabbing her hand in his own.

"You don't have to" he said.

Sapphire looked up at him and smiled.

"I want to" she urged.

Raphael nodded and lay back down, letting her do whatever she was going to do. He gasped as he felt her hand reach between his legs, it may not be where his genitalia lay, but it was still a sensitive place. He felt her hand go lower and closed his eyes, allowing his tail to drop. He heard her gasp and got ready to run off when he felt her hand on his turtlehood. A strangled moan escaped his throat and she looked at him.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

Raphael nodded and gripped the sheets in his hands. He tried not to buck his hips as she began to slowly move her hand up and down his length.

"Am I doing it right?" She asked.

Again he nodded, but his hand came down and tightened her hand around him.

"A lil tighter" he replied.

Sapphire nodded and let him guide her hand into doing what he liked, once he thought she was sure, he let her hand go and she did it by herself until he came with a loud, strangled groan. He heard Sapphire make a noise.

"Oh...so that's what happens when you play with it for long enough" she said.

This caused Raphael to laugh loudly and pull her to him.

After that, we got used to what each other liked and didn't like. It went on like this for a few more weeks until I found myself ready to actually...allow him to make me his. It was a few weeks before Christmas that I decided that I would give him my innocence. But of course, I had no way of showing him that I wanted him to have my virginity and I wasn't just going to go up to him and say 'Hey Raph, wanna have sex with me?'. That would kill me, so I asked April.

"Just be yourself sweetheart. If it happens, then it happens, if not then you can lead up to it. Drop subtle hints" she said.

Sapphire raised an eyebrow.

"You mean I should lay on my bed, in just my underwear and let that tell him?" She asked.

April laughed and shook her head.

"Just talk to him about it sweetie, that's all you can do" she said.

Sapphire nodded and walked out of the lounge, going up to her room.

In the end, I did decide to take April's advice and talked with Raphael about the possibility of having sex with him. At first he was worried that he'd pressured me into wanting to have it, but I had assured him that I had made up my mind of my own free will and he had hugged me and we had kissed. Of course, it took a few more days of heavy petting until he actually began to take it that far.

Sapphire and Raphael were kissing again on Sapphire's bed, so far, Sapphire had lost her shirt and her bra and Raphael was now kissing down her neck and to her breasts. He moved over to one of her rosy nipples and took it into his mouth, this made Sapphire gasp and moan as she put her hand on his head. Raphael chuckled a little and began to suck and lightly nibble on the rosy bud, before going over to the other one and giving it the same treatment.

Soon Sapphire was completely naked before him and he was just sat between her legs looking at and admiring her body. she went to cover herself up but he stopped her.

"Don't...yer beautiful" he said.

Sapphire blushed and Raphael smiled, leaning over her and kissing her. She kissed him back and reached up, taking his eye mask off, before trailing her hands down and untying the tie at his waist. He had already removed his weapons, so with that gone, he too was naked.

"You're still handsome" she said.

He smiled and then leaned down to kiss her again, he let his tail drop and his hand went down to between her legs and began to rub her there, making her gasp and moan. Soon she felt something at her entrance.

"This' gonna hurt for a few minutes, but it'll be over soon alright?" He asked.

Sapphire nodded and Raphael slowly pushed himself into her, she gasped in pain and a few tears slid down her face, tears that Raphael kissed away.

"It's alright, I'm sorry" he said.

She nodded and when he was almost fully inside her, he stopped and looked at her face. He waited for a while, keeping very still so that she had a chance to adjust to his size. All the while he was kissing all over her face and whispering comforting nothings to her. After a few minutes, Sapphire began to wiggle her hips, signalling to him that she was ready for him to start moving, so he carefully pulled himself almost all the way out, before he plunged himself back into her, making her gasp.

"You alright?" He asked.

Sapphire nodded and he did it again, making her gasp again. Soon, he was thrusting into her slowly and deeply and she was moaning along with him at the feeling of it. It wasn't long until she came around him and he gave a few more thrusts before pulling himself out and spilling himself into his hand. He rolled off of her and they both lay there panting.

"Wow" Sapphire said.

Raphael chuckled.

"I second that comment" he said.

For my first time, I had always thought that it was going to be wonderful, that it was going to be romantic and sweet and nice. If I said that it wasn't nice, I'd be lying, but...to be honest, sex wasn't what everyone and every book made it out to be, I guess we never can really escape our animalistic roots. Every so often, I still remember what happened with my parents, what happened with Sophia and what happened between Raphael and I on that rooftop, but as an old saying goes...

Some things are best left forgotten.

~TMNT~

A/N: Tadaaa! I am so sorry I left this for so long, but I really couldn't think of anything for a while. But...now I have and I'm sad to have to tell you, that this is the last chapter. I want to thank everyone for reading and reviewing on this story, it's been a pleasure writing it for you, to read all your wonderful reviews and to see that even in my long absence from this story, people were still reading it.

I'm not gonna get all gooey on you, because this probably isn't going to be the first and last story with Raphael and Sapphire, I might do a sequel if people really want me to do one. If not then...I guess this'll be goodbye from me for the TMNT genre. I really hope I managed to keep Sapphire and Raphael in character throughout this chapter having not been on it for a while and having not watched TMNT in a while either. It also occurred to me, that the only time we ever saw Raph's softer side was when Leo was hurt in Tales of Leo, but I hope I did a good job. I would like to say thank you to everyone who reviewed, favourited and followed this story and I'd also like to say thanks to my betas *Pin Up Strong Glamazon*, *Baby-kitsune9* and *flamedragon242* for helping me make this story into one that doesn't have many grammatical or spelling errors and for helping me with the plot line. I'd ask them if they think something's alright in the plot or not and more often than not, they'll tell me the truth or go on ahead and edit it for me. So a big thanks to you three as well. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Anyhow, I would like to gladly say...J'AI FINIS VOUS ET BONNE NUIT REMERCIER!
