Chapter 14

Scare

"Raph, seriously, the guys aren't home," Alex insisted, she unlocked the door and pushed it open. He had asked her about seven times if she was sure that her brothers wouldn't be there. She took off her coat and hung it up on the coat rack next to the door.

The moment the door closed Raph had Alex by the hips. "Just making sure." he said quietly as he pushed her against the closet door in the hallway. "Gotta take precautions as a ninja," he hummed against her throat as he brought her in, kissing her neck.

Alex sighed in content. Her could feel all the blood rushing to her face, her pulse beating through her body. She knew this was coming, but she hadn't expected him to move that quickly. They had only just arrived, after all. "Somebody's eager," she sighed, her head tilting back to allow him more access to her neck.

"I had to restrain myself while we 'bonded' with Donnie and Kerry," Raph grumbled. "Admit it, you only agreed so you could bristle in pride knowing your plan to get them together was working," he growled, teeth scraping against her heartbeat.

Alex moaned softly. She wrapped her arms around Raph's neck, pulling him closer. "May-maybe," she muttered. "You being there might have had something to do with it too."

"I was there because you were, so that was the reason." Raph chuckled pressing his body up to hers so he could wrap his arms around her. He quickly lifted her up, forcing her to wrap her legs around his waist to carrying her to the couch as he kissed her neck.

"You're," Alex muttered, her voice sounding extremely out of breathe. She kicked her shoes off, letting them fall to the floor. "You're going to leave a mark," she finished.

"Look at all the fucks given about that." Raph scoffed a bit as he sat down, leaning against the couch so her body sprawled over him, hand going into her hair to pull at it.

Alex's face darkened as a rather loud moan escaped her from his action. She pulled away from him in order to kiss his lips, forcing her tongue into his mouth. There was no need for politeness. Especially when there was hair pulling involved. Her hands moved from around his neck and into his arm, scraping his scalp, but not enough to really hurt.

Raph gracefully allowed her to do so, free hand drifting up the back of her shirt to rest on her spine drifting his fingertips up before gripping her side, careful to avoid her scar. Raph seemed to be making actions like that (touching her stomach or sides under her shirt) a regular action now. And Alex honestly had to admit that it was an extremely enjoyable change.

Alex fought for dominance with her tongue, but Raph wasn't giving up so easily. His hands trailed up her spine, sending a shiver through her body. He was not above playing dirty apparently as he teased the back of her bra hook.

Alex bit his lip, pulling back ever so slightly as her back arched. Her stomach flipped, her body reacting to just the thought of him removing the piece of clothing even if her shirt was still on. "Not fair," she muttered, sticking her tongue into his mouth again, pressing it flat against his own.

Raph could only chuckle in response, of course, as he teased it again with one hand while pulling her hair as his tongue forced it's way passed hers. Alex allowed him to win that fight. He explored every little nook and cranny of her mouth before spelling his name with his tongue against her (though how she knew he had done so was a mystery to her).

Alex pulled back slightly, moving to his ear. She kissed his lobe before taking part of it in her mouth to suck on it.

"So was this the something you had in mind?" Raph chuckled a bit to her, catching his breath.

Alex moved down to his neck, trying to find his sweet spot. She chuckled, the vibration felt against his neck. "Something like that," she muttered against his skin before biting down on the soft skin where his jaw met his neck.

Raph gave a soft moan, hand coming out of her hair to grip her thigh tightly. "Good, I thought I might have just jumped the gun," he chuckled a bit, thumb rubbing the inside of her leg.

Alex let out a soft gasp at the touch. Again, she stomach flipped at anticipation of actions that would not take place that night. Her body, however, didn't know that. The action turned her on greatly. She could just imagine his large hand moving between her legs, his strong, large fingers moving...She moaned again, her mind wonder with that thought.

Raph grinned a bit, kissing her shoulder before beginning to mark her once more as his, tugging her shirt aside for it to be right on her collar bone. "I-" Alex huffed, out of breath. "I could make that easier for you," she told him.

Alex sat back slightly, her face the reddest it had ever been. She removed her hands from his hair and grabbed the bottom of her shirt, slowly, swiftly lifting her shirt up and over her head. She dropped it onto the cushion beside them. She looked at Raph, wondering if she had done the right thing. Was it too soon? Was it too forward? Technically, they had only been dating a week or so, but they had been kissing and practically making out since the moment they started this whole thing.

Raph moved from her collarbone further down, obviously not minding it one bit, biting at her more sensitive flesh normally hidden from him. Alex moaned loudly again, her back arching, moving closer to his mouth as she enjoyed his action. He sucked away in tandem with his tongue soothing away any discomfort the action might cause before a purplish bruise like mark had formed on the side of her breast.

"You," Alex stuttered, "you are so...lucky it isn't….bikini season yet." The marks would be hidden by her regular clothes. However, if it was the summer, the makes would be very visible when she had a bathing suit on.

"Do you think I would care if it was." he grinned biting the air in front of her lips teasingly.

"If you want to keep, uh, you're, you're face the way it is," she muttered. "Your...your turn."

"Really? That's your comeback." Raph scoffed. "Mikey can come up with one better." he rolled his eyes as she sat up nonchalantly and pulled his shirt over his head.

"I wouldn't mind," she muttered, her eyes scanning over his toned, chiseled chest. She put her hands on his shoulders, slowly running her fingers over his muscles. "Cockblock of a brother?" Alex got to his sex line. She ran her thumbs over the muscle line, watching Raph's reaction as she went on, "Elliott would mind. He'd bash your face in." She moved in, repeating her action as she kissed him. She bit his lip, pulling it back with her slightly as she said, "Again."

"Maybe it'd be worth it," he grinned pulling her closer by her belt loops, his muscles tensing under her hands, flexing unconsciously to her touch, a steel coil of power.

Alex kissed him again before she moved down to his neck, kissing and licking his exposed skin and she lowered herself further until she was at one of his pecks. Her hands massaged his sides as she kissed his nipple. She moved to suck on it next, her hands lower to his hips to massage there as well. Raph groaned under her, hand going to her hair as he forced himself not to grind into her, head arching back into the pillows.

Alex could feel his back, sides and hips clench. She glanced up, seeing that he was enjoying her action. She tilted her head slightly, wonder why he became so tense all of a sudden. She shrugged it off, sitting back up and wrapping her arms around his neck, her hands in his hair again. She kissed him forcefully and hard. Her eager, quick action and movement caused her to move forward, unintentionally grinding her hips against him. Her legs tightened, securing herself on top of him.

Raph gasped before letting out a low moan, trying to fight the instinct even more from grinding into her, his back arched a bit and his muscles flexed as they strained to fight his instinct.

Alex could feel him tense against her again. She pulled back to look him in the eyes. "A-Am I doing something wrong?" she asked, fearing she was making him uncomfortable somehow. "You're all stiff."

"Umm, yeah, just trying to not go too far here. So no, you're doing everything right." Raph groaned. "Which is the problem."

Alex blushed, biting down on her lips. So she was doing it too well...She gulped. "W-Well, relax," she told him, kissing his neck. "Just...Just do what is natural. Don't worry about if it's going to far or not. If it is, I'll tell you." She pulled back, kissing his softly on the lips before adding, "Just go with your instincts."

"I-I'd rather it not get to the point where it's painful to stop, if you don't mind keeping that in your thoughts," Raph mumbled a bit.

"S-Sorry," she muttered, nuzzling her nose against his shoulder. "I've never, well, you know, done anything like this before."

"I'm not exactly experienced myself, Alex." Raph chuckled breathlessly. "So chill out, Firecracker."

Alex laughed softly, placing a gentle kiss to his neck before nuzzling the same spot. "I know this is cheesy and corny, but I'm glad it's with you, Raph."

"Me too, I don't know any other girl I'd want to do this with. You're my best friend." Raph smiled at her. "I know that doesn't sound romantic at all..."

Alex's stomach flipped. She remembered him telling her that on New Years Eve. "No, actually," she corrected. "It's an incredible turn on. Follow your own instructions there, Cowboy."

"I can't help being naturally sexy. Just part of the Hamato boy legacy." he grinned.

Alex rolled her eyes and laughed. "I suppose we'll have to make sure Gabriel stays in line then, won't we. Heaven forbid Kerry or Don know what to do with that," she joked, biting his ear again.

"Hmm, shouldn't you be more worried with what Donnie might be doing to Kerry?" Raph snickered a bit. "If that's what you're concerned about."

She chuckled in his ear. "It wouldn't be anything Kerry wouldn't like," she said. She started sucking on his earlobe again.

"Okay ew," Raph chuckled nuzzling into her hair.

"Let's not talk about them," Alex suggest, sitting back to look Raph in the eyes. Her green eyes seemed to have darked from their actions.

"I'm all for that." Raph grinned pulling her back in for a heated kiss.

"Oh misty eye of the mountain below. Take careful watch of my brothers souls and should the sky be filled with fire and smoke keep watching over Durin's sons."

"The hell is that?" Raph groaned a bit.

Alex pulled back, blinking for a moment as it took her a second to realize that was her phone. "You have got to be kidding me," she groaned. "It's Zack," she told Raph. "He has rotten timing."

"Well, hurry up and answer it so that he'll leave us alone." Raph grumbled a bit.

Alex rolled her eyes and chuckled. She leaned back and grabbed her phone off of the cushion next to her. Her phone had been in the pocket pouch on the front of her sweatshirt like shirt.

She picked it up and put it to her ear. Raph's hands lightly rubbed up and down her legs, slowly tracing shaped into them. "Yeah?" Alex answered to phone, slightly out of breathe. Raph grinned mischievously leaning up to bite at her ear for a bit before drifting down to her neck.

"Alex?" Zack asked on the other line.

"Yes Zack," she muttered. "What is it? I'm in the middle of something." Raph moved even lower, suck on what little was exposed of her breast with her just in her bra. He was making it his mission to distract her, it seemed. That or to keep her in the mood until she was off the phone with her brother.

"I've been trying to get ahold of Marcus, but I can't," he told her.

"That's because he's at a party," Alex told him. "You know he can never hear his phone ring." Much like how I wish I hadn't heard mine! Her head fell forward, resting on Raph's shoulder. She bit down slightly, trying not to moan while she was on the phone with her brother.

"Well, I've gotta talk to him!"

"Zack, calm down. He'll be home late." Which is good for me and Raph, she thought.

"But Alex-"

Alex narrowed her eyes. Zack's voice sounded off. He was rambling and talking extremely quickly. Something was weird about this whole thing. "Zack, what's-"

"Elliot's in the hospital," he blurted out.

Alex froze. Elliot's in the hospital? Immediately her mind went to the worst. The last time she had been at a hospital was because she was in it and that was because she had been shot. Her parents had died and she had, by some chance, lucked out and was spared. But now Elliott was in the hospital and it was most likely because of the same reason. She had already lost her parents, she couldn't lose Elliott too.

Raph stopped when he saw the look on his face. "Alex?" he asked slowly.

"What?" she asked, sitting up straight. "What do you mean?"

"T-There was a work accident or something," Zack told her. "Nathan's talking to the doctors. He's better with that stuff so I don't really know what's wrong. But he's going into surgery. "

"When did this happen?" she asked. She put her hand over her mouth, trying to keep herself calm.

"This evening," Zack answered. "Elliot's boss is here, but he's not telling us what happened. Said it's confidential or whatever. That's total bullshit if you ask me. He's our brother!"

Alex got off Raph's lap and sat down next to him. She grabbed her shirt and quickly put it on, only removing the phone for a second. "Which hospital?" she asked.

"The one you were at," he informed her. "I forgot what the name is."

"That's okay, I know which one that is," she told him. Alex picked up her shoes and slipped them on quickly. "I'll be there as soon as I can," she told Zack. "Just keep trying Marcus. He'll notice eventually, okay?"

"Y-Yeah, okay," he said. "Thanks."

"Hey, don't worry about it," she told him. "I love you."

"Love you too sis."

Alex hung up the phone and stood up. "Alex? What is going on?" Raph asked her pulling his own shirt on and touching her shoulder.

Alex took in a shaky breath, trying to compose herself. "Uh, E-Elliot's in the hospital," she told him. Her throat was closing up. Tears were starting to well up in her eyes. Elliott had to be okay, right? He had to.

Raph looked at her seriously. "Let's go," he said taking her hand and pulling her to the door, trying to give her some strength to get through this.

"I'm sorry," she apologized. She hoped this didn't ruin his night. She grabbed her coat and slipped it on. Her fingers shook as she tried to zip it up. She kept fumbling with the clasp at the bottom. "C-Could you drop me of?" she muttered

"Drop you off? I'm staying with you," Raph scoffed. "Now come on, let's go see your brothers."

"Y-You don't have to," she told him. It wasn't that she didn't want him there, it was more the fact that she was rambling. She was trying to keep her mind off of Elliott and his condition, so the simplest of things slipped out of her mouth. "I-I mean, you probably have something better to do, right?"

"No, I don't." Raph sighed and looked to her. "I'm going with you and that's final. you're going to need me." He said with a sharp tone. "Besides, if Zack called you...who do you think is next on his list and who is with her."

Alex sighed, frantically running a hand threw her hair. "He's gonna be okay, right?" she practically begged.

"Elliot's got this," Raph assured her. "Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"Raph," Alex cried, the tears finally spilling over her eyes and down her cheeks. "I can't...I can't lose him too."

"And you won't." Raph said pulling her under his arm as he walked her down the stairs. "I'll make sure of it in any way I can."
