Chapter 27: Kisses at midnight

We were up until midnight, having a barbecue, having fun and talking a lot. Mostly there were jokes or other immature comments from the boys... But it was still funny, because we all could just relax.

Even Christine seemed to be a little bit...friendly. But I was still a bit shocked about the reaction; she had, when I made fun with the name off the new villain of the Titans. What was her name? Ravanger...

Maybe she just had a bad day..., okay she always has a bad day, especially when she sees me and Richard together. That couldn't be the possibility. But why was she than so angry and said I should stop.

I think she is connected with Ravanger...somehow. It is possible. Christine is acting like she has a secret. Maybe that's it, what she was hiding...

I sighed and rolled on my back, facing the ceiling.

It must be really late by now. There wasn't any clock in this room and so I couldn't check on the time.

I miss my old, more pinkish room. The one, where my bed was in a shape of a circle and were the windows were big enough to have a wonderful view over the city. And I had a clock in my room...

And what happened there to Amy today in the park? Why was she suddenly somebody else, when we met Christian? And why was it so cold? My hand nearly froze beneath hers. It was a strange feeling. But maybe I just imagined...

I laid my head on the side, and starred out of the window. The moon drew white circles on the floor and my covers. The stars were shining brightly in the black sky.

The only noise next to my breathing was the soft wind, outside, flying through the branches and leaves of the trees in the garden.

And what he hell was wrong with me? I was talking, like I was, when I was still Starfire. I messed up with words and the word order...

Suddenly I was far to warm in my room, to lie under covers and I threw them of my body, leaving me glad in a few black shorts and a white top.

I turned on my stomach, my hands under the pillow. Then I closed my eyes, and tried to drift into sleep.

Soon my breathing was calmer and I was nearly sleeping, when I heard a noise next to my bed and my eyes shoot open. I sat up and turned to the source of the noise.

I blinked and whispered in disbelieve: "Richard...?"

Was that a dream or was this real?

"Oh, I am sorry..., I thought you were asleep..." he whispered back in the wonderful voice of his.

I moved so, that I was kneeling on my bed, while I looked at him. He was clearly visible in the moonlight and I could clearly see the black shirt and the boxers, he was wearing. Richards black hair was dishevelled and his mask was off. His blue eyes were glistering the white light and held some emotion I haven't seen for a long time from any man.

"What are you doing here?" I finally was able to get out.

He scratched the back of his neck and sat on my bed, as far as possible.

"I... kind of like to watch you, when you are sleeping." came his quiet reply.

"Oh..." was all I could say at and began to play with the hair, which lay over my shoulder. I bit my lip and looked down, to avoid his gaze. I felt his eyes on me, which was sure.

"Do you know, that you look incredible cute, while doing that?" he said out of sudden, which coursed me to look up.

In disbelieve I looked at him and I met his gaze. He chuckled softly and inched slowly closer to me.

"What?" I asked and blinked.

"You do always look incredible cute, whatever you are doing..."

He was lying! That couldn't be true. Why the hell was he saying such sweet things to me?

"You don´t mean that!" I whispered, "You are lying, right?"

"Why should I? I never lied to you. I can´t even lie to you, even if I want..." I said softly and held my gaze.

I bite my lip again, brushing some of my strands out of my eyes, before I spoke again:

"Is this the first time, you are watching me?"

"No..., I watch you nearly every night..."

"Why? I mean... You and I..., we aren't together..."

I couldn't even form a complete, normal sentence.

Despairingly I looked around in my room, trying to find a hidden camera or somebody who was watching this.

While I was looking away, I felt my bed move slightly and when I turned back, Richard was directly in front of me, also kneeling on my bed.

He was smiling at me, with a very special smile, while one of his hands moved up to my chin.

My heard began to beat faster with every passing second. My breath caught in my throat and my body went stiff, when he touched me.

And then he pulled me towards him, while his face was also travelling to mine.

But for me it lasted too long, before he finally kissed me, so I took on my own initiative and fasted the progress.

I heard him taking in a sharp breath, when our lips touched.

But it was just a short kiss, and before I was able to close my eyes, he pulled away.

I held my breath. What did just happen? Didn't he want to kiss me? Did I screw up again? I thought, that was his whole idea, to come back together. Why was I again that stupid?

But then he grinned and every doubt was washed away, when my heart began to burst with joy.

"A bit eager, aren't we?" he murmured.

Then his lips were on mine, before I could react. It just a little, sweet kiss, which made my heart flutter. I closed my eyes and savoured the moment.

It was just perfect... Butterflies began to fly in my stomach, while my hear was beating in my chest, pressed against his.

And suddenly I realised, how much I missed it, to be his girlfriend. To hug him, to kiss him and to say the three words, which meant everything. I loved him so badly, and I would do everything for him...

My arms shoot around his neck, when his were on my waist, pulling me closer to him and deepening our lip lock.

I wanted to show him, how much he meant to me, through this little kiss. One of my hands went to his cheek, brushing over it softly.

This was everything I wanted. Having Richard so close to me that I nearly could feel his heartbeat through his chest, and he could feel mine. And he was kissing me..., loving me...

I felt his mouth open and his tongue was brushing against my own lip, asking for entrance. Without thinking, what I did, I let him enter, let his tongue dance with mine.

My fingers flexed, when his hands travelled lower, this time resting on my hip.

Soon I pilled away and my eyes opened slowly again, to look at Richard.

He was breathing heavy just like me, and his lips were slightly swollen.

"I have missed it, kissing you like that..." he said husky, squeezing my behind softly.

"I have missed it, too..."

He nuzzled his nose against mine and smiled, his blue eyes shining.

"I miss your touch, Richard..." I breathed and closed my eyes.

"I have missed yours, too..."

That was all, I needed to know.

I attacked his lips with mine, while my mind began to cloud. And slowly I began to lie back, pulling him down with me.

My hands were in his hair. Those wonderful black locks, which I missed so much. I just massaged his scalp, feeling his hair between my fingers.

I felt him smile beneath my lips, softly stroking the outsides of my thighs. He parted my legs, to settle between them. My eyes rolled back on their own accord, when I felt his arousal.

The emotions and the feelings at this moment were completely new for me.

Out of sudden he rolled over, and I was on top of him, straddling him. But our lips were still locked.

His hands moved to the rim of my top, kissing me this time harder than before.

I didn't stop him.

Whatever would happen, it would be the right thing. I trusted Richard with my life.

Slowly he pulled my shirt up and let go of my lips for a second, to pull it over my head, before returning to them.

His hands travelled further up and laid on my ribcage, under my breasts.

This time it was me, who pulled back. I began to kiss jay line, up to his cheek, softly letting my lips glide over his eyelids.

In this time his hands reached my chest and I heard him groan in frustration. Shocked I pulled away and sat on him.

"What?"

"You wear a bra, when you sleep?" he asked huskily and reached around me, to unclasps it.

"What's wrong with that?" I asked, while helping him to pull it from my body.

He merely shrugged, and rolled over again.

I looked up to him, when he brushed a few strands of my hair out of my face, my body began to stiffen.

His hands were then next to my head, to hold his weight of my body.

"What's wrong, Star?" he asked, as if he noticed, that there was something wrong.

Star..., why was he calling me with my old nickname?

"Star?" I asked back, trying to hide my smile.

"Yeah..., you will always be my Star." he whispered, sending shivers up and down my spin.

He kissed my nose, before he returned to my lips, for a short but very sweet kiss.

"What's wrong now?" He asked his lips now on my neck.

"Nothing..., just a bit nervous." I breathed, when I felt his tongue on my collarbone.

"Really?" came his reply, when he kneeled between my legs, kissing my bare breasts. My heart was racing, beneath my flesh, and I was scared, that he would hear it.

I moaned loudly, when his tongue made a little circle around my nibble.

"Do you want me to leave?"

"No..., no, please stay. My hands were again in his locks.

"Do you want me to stop?"

I shook my head, unable to answer.

"Do you?"

"No..., please Richard..."

He pulled away from the torture and smiled.

"Alright..." he said and pulled his own shirt up, throwing it towards mine on the ground.

God..., his body was just perfect.

"You like the view?" he asked smugly, coursing me to blush. He leaned over, kissing my earlobe. Then he whispered:

"Well, I like mine very much..."

My eyes went wide.

"I love you, Richard..." I said, before I could stop myself.

He looked up and to my surprise kissed me deeply.

"I-"

Suddenly I sat up in my bed, breathing heavy.

I was shaking and sticky with own sweat. My covers were twisted around my body.

Covers? Didn't I jus throw them of my body?

I looked around my room. It was still dark, but there was no sight of Richard.

All the sweet things he said, the perfect kisses, his touches all over my body..., it was all a dream...

I fell back on my bed.

Hell..., that was the best dream I ever had. I mean: Richard and I..., we nearly...

It hurt, that I was back in reality. Why in goddess sake, couldn't he just stand any second in the doorway, smiling at me...

He was all I desired, and I nearly had heart it. Richard nearly said the three most wonderful words, addressed to me.

Maybe I should just ask him. Ask him, whether he feels the same way.

I just want to feel his touches again-and this time for real...

TTTTTTT

And it is finished!

Finally something for all the Kori/Dick fans outside there. But I hope you won't throw stones at me, just because it was a dream... I hope you liked it...

I am very sorry, that I couldn't update earlier, but I visited a friend of mine over the weekend. But at least I will be able to upload soon.

Take care as always!
