Finally this story will live up to the M status.
Warning: Lemon ahead
What followed after their first successful date, were more successful dates.
They kept their relationship to themselves, not wanting their teammates to find out just yet.
That is what they classified their status officially after their 4th date. They were in a relationship. They were boyfriend and girlfriend, whose titles didn't really appear to be relevant since they were the only ones that knew about this new change of label were themselves.
It has now been three months since their first date, and they have gone through long strides from where they started out with. Mentally, emotionally, but not entirely physically…yet.
Sure, they were affectionate as you would expect from a significant other, far much more than what you would expect from any other friend, but they haven't exactly "sealed the deal" as how Gar put it.
They both believed that the main reason that their relationship has been as successful as it has been so far was their ability to communicate with each other.
It was late at night, which was usually when he would come into her room and talk until one was too sleepy, which surprisingly usually was Garfield, even if he did not like admitting it. He referred it as their "pillow talk", because of this at Raven's dismay. He discarded the bunk bed a month into their relationship and got an elevated queen size bed in his room and made sure that it was tidy so they could go in there, but there was much more of a risk of someone barging in there without notice compared to Raven's room.
No one would ever dare to come in without a formal invitation to her room.
They talked to each other about almost any and everything. They had conversations about their day, their friendships within and outside the tower, what candy was better, if daylight savings was really necessary, once they even made a small little wager on when they expected Robin to become Nightwing.
"I give it five more years", replied Garfield while rolling to his side to face the dark beauty sitting on the edge of her bed. "I don't see him wanting to change anything anytime soon, even though his color scheme is getting kinda old".
She looked at him with amusement resting her elbows further back on her blue satin sheets, almost laying down. "Getting old? Aren't you the same guy that is still wearing the same uniform from your previous team?".
He glared at her but quickly brushed it off, "Hey, it's hard to make a suit that can adjust to your transformations. It makes it the perfect uniform year-round for your information".
"You act as if we don't have one of the smartest people in the West Coast as a roommate. I am sure Cyborg could make you a new uniform based on the same material if you asked him for one".
"I don't doubt Cyborg's ability to be able to create a new suit, but I do question his ability to be able to fashion design a whole new signature uniform for someone as unique as me", he boasted.
"You're special all right…", she laughed.
He tossed one of her pillows at her and she held it in midair with her dark energy and slowly dropped it back to its original place still laughing.
That was another thing that became more common since they started dating.
He adjusted himself closer to her and asked now a bit more serious, "Do you think I should get a new uniform? I didn't really think much of it until you brought it up. I guess it is kinda weird to still be wearing the old doom patrol outfit considering it's been so long, but I just didn't…".
"Hush. I only brought it up because you were nagging on Robin's uniform. Which by the way, I think it will be sooner than 5 more years, I noticed his uniforms all are the same size from that last time we ransacked his closet. He still fits in them but barely. Any day now he might embarrass himself out on the training field", which gave them both a hilarious yet a visual they did not want to see. "It is solely up to you if you ever decide to change it. You also do not have to feel pressured into getting a new one just because Robin is getting one. I support either decision, it is not like I am going out of my way to get a new cloak".
"I think the cloak is your signature, you can't get rid of it". He got closer to her and traced his fingers up and down her right thigh causing a slight shiver throughout her body. "All I know is if you ever get a new outfit you still have to show off your killer legs, or else that would be a crime in itself hiding them away".
She has become better on handling herself with his physical touches, but she always felt a rush of sensation no matter the scenario.
"Riiiight, because I am sure sweats are just as aerodynamic. I have a leotard because I am able to navigate my flying better, not because of trying to get the attention of any wandering eyes as you may think".
"Whatever the reason, I am grateful" and gave her a wink. He now adjusted himself to sit beside her. He started brushing her hair in back of her ear, caressing her face which made her face him. "I am also beyond grateful to have such a badass and hot girlfriend, whose highlight of the day just so happens to be to humble me down to smithereens".
"Someone has to keep you in check, it was either me or Starfire force feeding you homemade meals", and she lightly smacked his chest.
He laughed and grabbed her hand on her chest and held it there for a moment looking right into her eyes.
They leaned in and embraced with a deep kiss.
This was also how most of their conversations in her room ended out with as well.
His hands began to wander up and down her thigh, eventually gripping at her waist where he pushed her down without breaking apart. Her hand was playing through his hair and the other tracing around his back shoulder muscles. She spread her legs to allow him to position himself better. She wrapped her legs around him pulling him in even closer which created a moan from him. They continued until one had to breath.
They both looked at each other longingly, wanting something more than just this. They both liked this but knew that there was still so much of each other to be explored.
They had talked about it. They really did talk about everything, at least they think they do.
It was a conversation they brought up a month in, surprisingly brought up by Raven.
He was more than fine going at her pace, even though he would be the greatest liar in existence if he said he didn't want to have sex with her. He had the whole animal kingdom sequenced into his DNA. One of the basic instincts in all life was, reproduction, which of course meant sex.
He wanted to more than anything.
Well, almost anything. He wanted her to be happy first and foremost. He wanted both of them to want it just as bad, so he could wait. He waited years for a kiss from her. His mouth now had full blown access to hers within a few weeks. He was able to wait a bit more for the whole thing.
While he was being patient but riddled with sexual tension, Raven was nervous with equal parts sexual tension. She was half-demon after all. Biologically, she had the same degree of sexual desire as Garfield, she just wouldn't say it out loud.
He knew very well that he was her first kiss, so no one had to explain to him already how she was a virgin in every sexual way.
He on the other hand, wasn't to her knowledge.
"I think we should stop". It was their first time in her room at her room where their make out session was going towards a direction she was not ready for yet. He straightened himself up and collected himself, shifting his pelvic region in his jeans that he wore for their earlier date.
"Yeah…yeah, of course. Sorry I might have gotten kinda carried away", he whispered.
"It isn't your fault, I like it…I just don't want to rush into anything too soon if you don't mind".
He gripped her hand is response and gently told her, "We go at your pace, I am not going anywhere. Even if you threaten to teleport me somewhere that I would never be able to return back on my own".
She smiled, and thankful for his sincere statement.
Her face adjusted to a more somber look.
She had some questions she was meaning to ask, one to her dismay and the other to potentially his.
She decided to ask the one that she most didn't want the answer to but needed it anyways.
"This is an awkward question, and if you do not feel comfortable answering I understand, but I think I should know, but again no pressure…".
"Rae, you can ask me anything. You know you can ask me anything, right?".
She nodded and gave a deep exhale. "Okay, how much experience do you have…sexually?".
He should not have been as surprised at that question than he currently was. It was relevant considering he was still not completely flaccid yet. The intensity of this conversation did help the cause in his pants though.
He rubbed the back of his head and gave his own huff of air. "Like I said, I will answer anything. I don't want to go into too much detail for the sake of both of us. You know I dated around before, nothing too serious. You know that you technically don't have to be serious for things to happen. Let's just say that I have more experience on that department, but probably not as much as you would think. The farthest I've gone only happened once. Does that answer the question enough?".
She nodded and felt her chest become heavy. She already expected the worst, so now it was her turn to feel more surprised than she expected. Him confirming to her that he wasn't a virgin was something she already assumed, and it did not change their relationship at the slightest, she really did assume the worse like him saying that he lost count or something.
However, hearing him confirm it made her feel some type of way. She reached out to touch his hand and rubbed her thumb across his bare palm to show thanks.
That was a whole other conversation they already had.
He was insecure because he had small claws in place of fingernails and he always wore the gloves to not accidently hurt anyone, but she was able to feel the shame from him when discussing it. She pulled off his gloves and gently had her wrist skim over them and noticed they retracted slightly when it felt her skin. She showed him that he wouldn't hurt her on purpose, and even if he did, good thing she was a healer.
They just talked the rest of the night, but still huddled against one another.
Raven was getting better to the whole physical intimacy each date, but there were some things she was just not quite ready for.
"I think I am ready", breaking the silence between them. It was not a spur of the moment thing, she already decided that she was ready even before they went on their date.
"Are you sure, Rae? I don't mind waiting really, it is up to you".
She was determined and knew he was going to reply something along those lines. She knew very well that he was ready and willing, it was radiating off of him and she could visually see his preparedness. Might as well have fun with it.
"Do you not want to have sex with me?", she asked innocently and as soft as she could muster doing, so to tease him.
His ears sparked in surprise. "What?! No, I didn't say that! And I know you know that I didn't mean that like at all. I have been ready since I was a teenager…and don't twist that, all boys are ready since puberty".
"Well then, if I am ready", she eyed him down to his restricting pants showing her just how ready he was, "and as you said, have been ready, let's do this".
"You don't have to tell me twice". He furiously kissed her once more and she met the same energy. They picked up right before their important exchange of consent.
They both were incredulous that this was actually and finally happening.
Even though she meditated plenty before this, because she knew that was essential, she was still taking everything in mentally.
He began to nuzzle and suck along her neck, making her run her hands against his chest. She closed her eyes in order to maximize the sensory overload. She found herself to give a little grunt in frustration when he pulled away from her, but she noticed that he began undressing in front of her. He unbuttoned his black dress shirt and took off his tank top underneath. She could not help but stare.
His body was much more different than what it was 3+ years ago. He was still skinnier than Robin, but he was still toned due to their rigorous training. He had a similar shape to a swimmer's body but with a bit more muscle spread throughout. He noticed her staring and gave her his signature smile.
"Like what you see? Don't worry because you will get loads of it in a bit", he ended with a wink. She was not sure if he meant that double meaning but was able to feel the heat reaching up to the top of her ears. "I don't know much about many things, but I am pretty sure you are supposed to take some of your clothes off now too".
Frozen for a second, she almost forgot. She began to lift her shirt dark plum shirt off and proceeded to take off her matching plaid skirt slowly while watching him strip to his boxers.
"Does your underwear really have little faces of you all over it? How much more conceited can you get?".
"Hey, a fan sent me this. Sure, it might have been weird at first, but it just so happened to be my size…plus look how cute I look!". He spun around to show her the miniature version of himself spread throughout the purple underwear.
"Okay, come back here before I take back my offer".
He laughed and quickly bounced on the bed and landed next to her. Yeah, this was the guy she was going to lose her virginity to, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
This time, he pulled her on top of him so she could take initiative to show him what she wanted, which first intimidated her, but she quickly got into it and reveled in the moment of dominance.
He used this angle to be able to run his hands along her backside and firmly squeeze her rear, pulling her in closer. The tension was at all time for her, and she began to nibble on the back of his ear. When he began to start attempting to unhook her bra while kneading her ass, she moaned "Gar…", and he couldn't help it and used his claw to tear it off.
That caught her off guard and exclaimed, "Hey I liked that bra! I chose it on purpose for…" but was cut off when he flipped her over her and began suckling on one of her exposed nipples. The thoughts of her new lacy black bra were far gone. This sensation was tantalizing her, and she was ready.
"Gar…please…just do it already…".
He wasn't done though. He wanted her to be at her highest point of sexual enjoyment because he knew the moment they would go through with the act, it would not be in her favor.
He raised a finger to her lip and shushed her, "Be patient".
He trailed his kisses down to her body and stopped right underneath her navel. He looked up at her and she looked back at him full of lust and nerves. "I want to do something before we go all the way".
He pulled down her matching black lace underwear,
Huh, I guess that is why she liked that new bra,
and tossed it to the side of the bed. She never had felt more exposed than now and repeated her mantra in her head making sure she did not lose her composure.
He traced his slender fingers up and down her opening feeling her wetness. He was enamored by her heady scent and went right into circling around her clit. He found to get the reaction he was looking for by her by noticing her pelvic region shifting around the building pressure. He set his tongue in on her lower jewel and used his hand to keep tracing her folds.
She was panting in a way she never had before.
No meditation nor mental preparation could ever get her ready for this.
She dug her nails into his scalp, twirling his hair around her fingers. She felt every nerve and muscle in her body to be pulsing more as time went on. She felt her arousal building and whispering so low, "Gar…please…Gar…please don't stop".
He knew that she knew that he could hear her, but he was also able to feel her body began to twitch to show how close she was. He picked up the pace and felt her body shiver and secured her legs to still be kept around him to continue his work while her orgasm reverberated throughout her body. She tried shifting away but he did not let her go.
He wanted her to ride it out as long as she could. When he finally met her gaze, he noticed the slick sheen on her face from the sweat she created during the experience. She rose up and tugged at the last piece of clothing between them.
He took them off and she observed it carefully. She was a bit intimidated imagining that this was going to be inside her in the upcoming moments. He wasn't scarily huge or anything, but she could admit that he was still pretty well endowed. He really wasn't kidding when he said he was more of a grower.
Gently gripping his member against her small hand also did not help her worries. He groaned in response and encouraged her to keep going.
In true Raven fashion, she did a bit of research of what to do and used both of her hands to help stimulation. She used one to rub the base and used the other focus on the tip and slowly lowered her mouth onto it. Now he had his hands in her hair, encouraging her to keep going. His moans and pants encouraged her to keep going and helped her to see what he enjoyed.
After a while she broke a part and wanted to pull one last trick. She looked up at him and began to lick from base to tip while not breaking eye contact.
It was over for him.
He lifted her and tossed her back on the bed and began to position himself to enter her.
They were both so into the heat of the moment until he finally remembered, "Oh shit, wait I am so sorry give me a second".
He went back to rummage through his pockets from his pants, "I know it is here somewhere…why are these pockets so damn deep…".
She was upset that he pulled away and not sure what he was looking for until. "Aha! Found it. Always better to be safe than sorry". He brought out a condom and for some reason, something clicked in her mind again.
How long has he had that condom for? Did he know we were going to do something tonight? Was it there already for someone before?
Then her thoughts got erratically worse with self-consciousness.
What if I don't meet his expectations? What if he is disappointed? What if…
"Raven, are you okay?", he asked concerned seeing her face become blank.
"Yeah…Of course I am", she recovered herself.
He saw her mood shift,
is she starting to regret this?
He sat on the edge of the bed looking towards her window looking at the bright moon illuminating her naturally dark room. He reached to put a hand on her ankle gently, trying to ease her stress or whatever she was feeling. "You know Rae, just because we did all that other stuff, we don't have to go through with it right? There is no pressure, I will still be here tomorrow. Gotta be, Robin would kill me if I missed out monthly debrief".
She didn't know what to say but she had a plan before her insecurities came bubbling up. It was best to get it over with.
He was trailing up and down up to her exposed knee, "I want our first time to be a special memory. It won't be too special if you are too worried or scared about it".
She blurted absentmindedly the first thought through her head that she regretted the moment it was spoken.
"It's my first time, not yours".
She closed her eyes with regret. She already knew she just picked a fight while they were both naked and she could not bear to look at him.
It was not his fault that he had experience with others? He wasn't hers then, she had no right.
Reminding herself all of these thoughts, she expected him to retort with a snark comment or even worse, a joke.
Instead, when she braved to open her eyes she was met with a confused expression?
"Well, first of all, I was referring to our first time together", he did say with a hint of offense. "Also, I haven't done this before either, so yeah. First time for both us. Why does that even matter?".
What did she just hear?
"Wait, you're a virgin?".
"You don't have to say it like that. Plus, I didn't hear you complaining like 5 minutes ago. Actually, I heard the opposite if you ask me".
She blushed furiously but she was still baffled. "You told me you had experience".
He patted the place next to him, the mood put on hold for a while.
"I told you I had experience, which is true, but I never have gone all the way. The stuff I did earlier, yeah, I admit I had experience with that, but I don't have experience with what you did…Which by the way now I am questioning your experience". She rolled her eyes and shifted closer towards him to hear his explanation.
"Long story, but shorter version of the same story, you aren't the only one that has insecurities".
He was well aware of her own self-image insecurities. People that did not know her origin thought she looked sickly, her eyes also appeared very unnatural, and her hair was passable for a young dark-loving woman, but she didn't know what to say when people often asked her what salon she would go to.
She always did feel her worries disappear whenever near Gar because she not only knew, but she could always feel his admiration in every way towards her inner and physical self. She felt horrible hearing from him how he also faced her same insecurities.
"I am green, green everywhere as you have seen. You can say that I was a giver more than a receiver when it came to my hookups. Anyways, there was this girl that I hit it off really well. It was going pretty well. We were at her place, one thing led to another and we were about to do it and I had a condom, and no don't worry it is not the same condom I just pulled out. Before I even tried to pull it out, she turned on the lights and she took a full look at me and well yeah I am sure you can figure it out".
The look on Raven's face told him she did not understand.
Of course, he is green all over, what color would it be if not? Was she not impressed with the size or something? It looks pretty…satisfactory to me. She felt her blush appear once again and he continued.
"She didn't say anything, but she didn't have to say anything. The look of horror on her face was worse than anything she could have said. I got up and left and we never talked nor seen each other since. I dated around still after that, but I did not even attempt that ever again. I don't want to sound sappy and say I was holding my virginity for someone special, but at the same time I kind of had to in fear of rejection again. You can only imagine how a guy's ego can get hit when a girl is just staring at your junk as if there were two of them there or something, and not in a good way".
She regretted bringing it up and what made her feel even worse, that this confession eased her nerves.
She even found it sweet, he was right, it was their first time.
She felt guilt for caring about his past, but even more guilt having this bringing up sour memories, given the current situation.
At the same time, she wanted to go through with the plan even more.
She wanted him to feel that he was more than enough for her. He was wanted, lusted and desired, greenand all.
"I already performed a birth control type spell; you don't need to buy anymore condoms if you don't want to".
"Oh?". He shifted to a more relaxed position compared to his prior stiff one.
She reached over to hold his hands, "I want you to know that I want to do this because I want to. I do not feel pressures, nor feel bad for you. I am attracted to you…and let me show you just how attracted I am to you".
She straddled him and wrapped her arms around his neck and deeply kissed him. He met her with equal enthusiasm and pulled them to lay on the bed where they showed each other just how much they wanted one another, insecurities and all.
A/N: First story, first lemon. Hopefully it is not too cringe.
This update took longer than I anticipated, and realistically the next will not be submitted until sometime late next month (but don't worry, I will finish this story; I have a lot written already for future chapters!).
Some notes I forgot to add for previous chapters. For the end of Part I's kiss, I had the famous Gretlusky's BBRae picture in mind (check her out if you haven't already, she is incredible).
For the last chapter in response to LW: Yes! I chose 3 am on purpose because I also personally believe it as the "unholy hour". I actually actively try my best to sleep by that time, but the past couple of weeks have made that impossible.
So as of now, Part II has technically 4 more chapters (more can be added, but I think that is what will be ended up with). The 4th will lead into the RobStar wedding alluded to in the Introduction chapter.
Hope you enjoy, and stay safe!
Also...yay on BBRae being reinstated as cannon again!
We all know our favorite animal-demon couple are cannon on multiple platforms, but it seems that DC are supporting the BBRae hype train.
That announcement alone earns this lemon.
Once again, thanks for all the follows, favorites, and reviews! They go along way :)
