Chapter 7

After the latest incident Mikey had become little overprotective and was spending nearly all of his free time with Mira. She did feel safer but still had to work the night shifts alone.

One night a customer came in that made her huff in annoyance and caused her anxiety to spike.

"Mark…How've you been doing?" She casually asked, her gut was telling her that she needed to get someone else to serve him but she swallowed her fear and continued.

"I'm doing pretty good, I'm opening a new restaurant on the upper west side if you're interested." He said trying his best to look suave and well-put-together.

She shook her head in disbelief. "No thanks Mark, I saw what happened to your last business and I'm doing fine here."

His lip twitched and he said. "That was not my fault, they shut us down because my employees were lazy, stupid and disorganized."

She sighed. "I know, it's never your fault is it?" She'd come to realize that he never took responsibility for anything that had gone wrong in his life, even the entire time they were in a relationship it was always her fault or someone else's.

"Exactly, see someone gets it." He said, throwing his hands up in the air. "Anyway, you should give my offer serious consideration…" he left his card sitting on the counter. "Think about it, I'll be back to see what your decision is."

"Okay…" she said, humouring him so he'd leave. She breathed a sigh of relief when the door finally swung shut. She was about to throw the card in the trash when she realized it might be useful if they ever needed to find him.

Mira then grabbed her phone and texted Mikey.

Mark came into the restaurant tonight.

OMG u okay?

I'm fine, he tried to get me to come work for him again and left his card.

I see, need me to come?

No it's okay, I can make the rest of the shift on my own.

Okay babe, here if u need me.

Thanks she sent a kiss icon. Did Donnie see if the person trying to break in was Mark?

He's still working on it, I'll let u know.

The rest of her shift passed without incident and she was able to get some well-earned rest finally.

That would not be the last she would hear from Mark…he was still hell bent on getting her back. The unhealthy obsession began when they were dating and became worse when she left him.

Instead of meeting Mira on the rooftop on her next day off she asked Mikey come over instead. He waited on the fire escape as always until she came and unlocked the window.

He touched down on the floor of her apartment and didn't have a chance to close the curtains when she jumped into his arms and attacked his mouth with enthusiasm.

Unbeknownst to them both Mark was watching through a zoom lens from an adjacent apartment from across the street. His eyes widened in surprise. What the hell was she kissing? He figured it must be a costume and the green skin was part of some kind of weird fetish. Whatever it was, the fact she was with someone else made his hands clench the camera tightly and his blood boil. He quickly snapped some pictures and peered at them with a disgusted expression.

Now he had her…

Mira was trying her best to shove all of Mikey's gear off at once when he pulled away and finally shut the curtain from any possible prying eyes.

"Hey…you okay tonight?" he asked as her hands rested on his belt.

She nodded and did her signature lip-bite. "Just…things have been so crazy lately, I just want to feel good tonight…also I think we're ready to take things to the next level…what do you think?" She placed some open-mouthed kisses on his chest.

His breath stuttered as he considered what she was saying. They had been together over two months now and he did feel ready…but they hadn't expressed their true feelings for one another yet. Did they need to do that first?

Could he have sex with her without saying he loved her? He was pretty sure that he did and he wanted to tell her but did she feel the same way?

He must have been silent for too long and she was no longer kissing him and said. "Mikey? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine…I…" He took her hands in his and gave them a squeeze. "Yes I think I am ready but I wanna tell you how I feel first." He swallowed and said. "I really care about you Mira, I want you to know that these are pretty deep feelings like more than I've ever felt for a girl and I'm not sure you feel the same way but…"

She placed a finger on his lips much like he'd done to her on one of their first meetings. "Mikey…I love you too."

He visibly relaxed and breathed. "I love you Mira…also, I got another memory back…it was the night I did those impressions of my brothers and you imitated your mom and aunt."

"Oh yeah!" She smiled at the memory. "That was also the first time I saw you without your street clothes on." She raised her eyebrows suggestively.

He slipped his arms around her waist and gave her rear a squeeze. "Did...you like what you saw?" he asked in a low voice.

"I did…" she said, reaching under his shell to do the same. His tail twitched and he instinctively pulled her closer.

They came together in a few passionate open-mouthed kisses and then he began kissing the hollow of her neck and where her neck and shoulder met.

Her busy hands were working at removing his belt. It and his weapons hit the floor with a thump and she divested him of his elbow pads one by one.

Mikey slipped his hand under her shirt and slowly worked it up her torso and over her head. She was left in her simple, black lacy bra. Her darker-pigmented birthmark disappeared underneath it. She then wiggled out of her pants revealing matching panties.

He didn't think he'd seen anything hotter in his life as he took in the soft swells of her breasts, the curve of her hips and firm roundness of her backside. "Wow…"

She blushed and was about to unclasp her bra when Mikey stilled her hand. "Can I do it for you?" he asked.

"Sure, it might take a couple tries though…" she winked.

The three-hooked clasp was tricky but he soon figured out how to flick it open using his finger and his thumb. Slowly he slipped the straps off of her arms and the delicate garment fell to the floor.

Then they were in each other's arms again and she kissed him hungrily. He placed his hands under each of her thighs and easily lifted her into his arms. He carried her to the bedroom between kisses and laid her down on the bed.

He crawled between her legs and hooked his thumbs into the waistband of her underwear. "Can I…?"

"Please…" she whispered.

The black panties were slowly pulled down her smooth legs and off.

The sight of her small, completely bare body was enough to make his mouth go dry. Her neatly trimmed thatch of dark hair was especially of interest to him since he'd only felt it before but had never seen it.

She spread her legs so he could take a look at the pink folds hidden within.

"Remember what I said about using your mouth?" She said with a playful gleam in her eye.

"Oh yeah…" he bent his head closer and the strong scent of her arousal hit him full force. It was impossible for him to identify, musky, sweet and bold all at once. He used his finger and thumb to spread her open a bit more, now he could see the spot that he'd rubbed with his thumb to get her off the last few times.

He took a breath and lowered his tongue to the sensitive nub, it tasted sort of like it smelled, not unpleasant, just different.

She jolted slightly at his touch and said. "Yess…keep doing that but try doing different things with your tongue and see how I react."

He did, he swirled his tongue around that place and moved it up and down and side to side. She began clamping her thighs around his head and shuddering in pleasure.

There were certain movements she liked more than others so he focused on doing those and pretty soon she was panting with desire. "Ungg…don't stop!"

Remembering what she liked, he tried to do it faster, pressing harder and she was nearly falling apart underneath him. He had to admit this wasn't the easiest thing he had ever done and his tongue was tired but the strong desire to see her finish was definitely worth it. He continued his assault on her nether regions, keeping up the pace as he clutched her thighs tightly.

"I'm gonna…ahh…" she grabbed the back of his head and tried not to close her thighs on his head. It was impossible.

"Mmm…" he rumbled as he continued licking. The vibration of his voice against her sensitive nub and she cried out as her orgasm rushed through her.

He rode it out until she was a panting, quivering mess. He knew when she'd be oversensitive and lifted his head giving her giving her just the hint of a smug grin. "Good?"

She wiped the remains of her essence off of his mouth with her hand. "Get up here you idiot." She grinned and pulled him so they lay face to face. She wanted him so badly right now she couldn't wait another second. Still, she forced herself to take it slow with him because this was his first time.

"Are you ready?" she asked feeling the hardness of his erection near her entrance.

His breath hitched and he was about to push right into her when he froze and said. "Wait, I think we should use a condom."

She was caught a little off-guard and immediately felt dumb for not thinking of that herself. "Oh, right, of course...I'm sorry, I just didn't think we'd need one and I'm clean."

Mikey caressed her beautiful face and said. "No worries babe...I just don't want to take any chances that I could get you pregnant…we don't even know if we can, my brother Donnie has never tested us for it." He whispered.

"Oh that makes a lot of sense...just give me a sec…" she turned and rummaged around in her bedside table. She still had some condoms left over from her last foray into dating and she was sure they were still good. She ripped the foil package open with her teeth and pulled the ring-shaped item out. "I'll help you with it." She grinned, figuring he probably wouldn't know how.

He had to lean slightly on the side so she could roll the latex ring over his tip and down his length. Making sure it was on him snug and tight she said. "There."

He repositioned himself on top of her and was poised at her entrance. "Okay…" He felt his nervousness building. It was really happening now and he desperately hoped he wouldn't disappoint her.

Mira tended to be somewhat impatient when it came to sex. When Mikey didn't push into her right away she reached down between their legs to help guide him in to her wet folds.

He involuntarily clenched his jaw the second he felt her warmth surround him. It felt so, SO good he wondered how it could possibly get better.

As he moved deeper into her he looked at her face and couldn't help but panic a little when he saw her close her eyes tightly and take a sharp breath in. He had no idea if he was causing her pain or if she was enjoying it and stopped his movements. "Mira...babe...am I hurting you?" he whispered anxiously.

Her eyes opened then and she placed her hand on his face to soothe him. "I'm okay Mikey, I'm just getting used to you but it doesn't hurt, you can keep going."

He soon reached a point where he could go no further and asked in a soft voice. "Is this good?"

Mira took a moment to adjust to his size, he wasn't overly large but still larger than her last. "Oh yes…" She wiggled her hips. "You can move now."

Instinctively he knew that moving was the next step in this dance of theirs. With a thrust of his hips he pulled out slowly and went back in. "God that feels good…" he groaned.

She suddenly grabbed his mouth to kiss him deeply. "It feels good for me too...keep going…"

In…and out…over and over again, he felt like he could never get tired of doing this. The sight of her underneath him moaning and writhing caused him to go a little bit faster. He was chasing his own orgasm but he wanted to see Mira come again, it took all of his concentration and even some of his ninja training not to finish too quickly.

She was attempting to wrap her legs around him but his shell was getting in the way of that. Suddenly she felt him grab one of her legs holding her thigh tightly up against him as he pounded into her.

She cried out at the new angle this presented and clutched his shoulders tightly.

His breathing was becoming erratic and he knew he was getting close. "I'm…almost…" Not yet, not yet...

She was nearly there and wanted to finish with him. "Faster…"

His thrusts became impossibly harder and deeper and once again she broke apart underneath him with loud moan, her body shuddering with her release. He followed with a few more deep thrusts and a loud groan as he came hard, burying his face in the space between her neck and her shoulder.

The only sounds each heard in the room now was their harsh breathing and pounding heartbeats.

Mira was cradling his head on her bare chest and idly rubbing his smooth skin. "Wow…if I didn't know this was your first time I would've assumed you'd done this before."

He couldn't help but give her a proud smile and lifted his head, rolling off of her.

"Nice thing about using condoms..." she said as she slipped it off of him with a tissue before tossing it in the trash bin beside her bed. "Easy clean-up."

He chuckled and really appreciated the gesture. "For you too, right?"

She nodded, giggling. "Especially for me." She slides off the bed and heads for the washroom. "I don't have to do the awkward waddle to the bathroom."

He laughed out loud at that and once she was back he cuddled in his arms enjoying the afterglow.

"I love you babe," whispered Mikey just before he dozed off.

"Love you too." She whispered back, her eyes closing. In this moment things were perfect, she could want for nothing as she fell asleep in her lover's arms.

Mark had felt his anger building as he uploaded the photos on his laptop and examined them. There was absolutely no doubt about it, his girl was kissing a green turtle-like thing. It was either a costume or some weird mask but he hated her nontheless for it.

His attempt to break in and grab her was probably foiled because of that guy too. He'd never known her to have locks installed on her windows before and he'd hightailed it out of there when he noticed the cameras too.

Smirking to himself he printed out the photos and placed them all on the desk in front of himself.

She didn't know what she was doing; he would make her see. He'd kill that freak and make her wish she never left him…

Donnie was still analyzing the grainy photo from his security camera. He was 89% sure it was Mira's ex boyfriend but he wanted to be completely sure. It made sense it would be him from what Mikey had told him. He sounded like a textbook narcissist and could possibly be dangerous.

Still they couldn't act until he made another move.

Unfortunately for Mira it would be sooner than she thought.

It was a night she was off and she wasn't sure if Mikey was showing up or not. A little while later she heard tapping on her window and she made the mistake of unlocking the window before checking to see if it was him.

The window flew open and Mark was standing in her living room with a self-satisfied smirk on his face and an envelope clutched in his hand.

She gasped and wished she hadn't left her panic button in the other room.

"Surprised to see me? You shouldn't be, I told you I'd be back to ask if you've considered my offer." He crossed his arms. "So?"

She was incredulous. "Are you kidding me? The answer is no, Mark, and you need to leave…"

"Why, so you can call your freak boyfriend?" He chuckled darkly at her shocked expression. "You're the one who taught me how to use a zoom lens remember? I saw you two…" he advanced toward her a little. "What's with the green skin...is it some kind of sick fetish the two of you have? I never knew you could be so adventurous..." he said giving her a sick smile.

"Get the hell away from me before I make you..." Mira said backing up slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about...you sound insane." She spat.

His lip curled in anger. "You're going to wish you accepted my offer…" he opened the envelope and pulled out a photo of them. "If I am then what the hell is this, what the fuck is this thing?" he asked, holding the picture up so she could see.

She paled, seeing the fairly clear photo of the her and Mikey in an intimate embrace. It was clear enough to make out his features and she mentally kicked herself for not allowing him to close the curtains like he tried to do before she kissed him.

Now Mark had the audacity to look like he had accomplished something. "That's right...I saw you two and I don't know what the hell is going on but you leave me no choice. I'm prepared to take these to the newspapers…whichever one pays me the most unless…"

She was silent and panicking internally. She knew what he wanted and now he had the evidence to make her do it.

"I'll take your silence as you know what it is I want. I don't just want you to come work for me…I want you back and I always get what I want." He sneered. He looked at the photo again. "Did you sleep with that freak already? I know how you like to give it up so soon…was he any good?"

Her face grew hot as her anger began to spike. "Just. Stop. I'll…I'll think about it…" she whispered. "Please don't do this…"

He waggled a finger at her. "Oh no…the time for thinking is just about over. I'll give you 12 hours and that's it…Come morning unless I get my answer I'm gone."

She was frozen in shock and anger as he turned to leave now through her front door. "See ya soon…"

The door closed and a few seconds elapsed before Mira collapsed on the floor shaking. She wasn't there long before she saw Mikey slipping through the still open window. "Mira? Donnie's had an alert show up on from the camera indicating movement so I came as fast as I…what's wrong, what happened…?" he asked, noticing her position on the floor coupled with her grave expression and tears in her eyes.

Not moving from her spot on the floor she whispered. "It was Mark…he was the one who tried to break in, he was just here..." she said in a shaky voice.

Mikey cursed under his breath, crossed the room and knelt down to her level, gently rubbed her shoulders. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you…?"

Her tear-filled brown eyes met his and she said. "He didn't hurt me...I didn't mean to let him in, I thought it was you…" she said, her breath hitching.

He was trying to stay calm as he asked. "What did he do?"

She took in another shuddery breath. "He wanted me to come work for him again and I said no…then he pulled out an envelope…he had pictures of us from the last time you came over. They were clear enough to show your face…" she brought her hands to her face and choked back a sob. "He's blackmailing me unless I agree to be with him again…"

He pulled her into his arms but his jaw was tense as anger pooled in his body. "Did he say anything else?"

She declined to mention the sick comments about calling him a freak. "He's giving me twelve hours before he goes to the tabloids." She answered against his chest.

"Okay, we need Donnie…" Mikey said and pulled away from her, flipping open his phone.

Once the call was completed he made her a cup of mint tea to calm her nerves and sat with her on the couch to wait for his brothers. He was a bundle of anger and frustration himself but he tried to hide it so he could be strong for her.

Soon, her living room was full as Leonardo carefully closed her curtains.

"Donnie…how much of a threat is this douchebag…really?" Raph asked.

"I didn't see the photos but I can bet any tabloid will pay big bucks for pictures like that. It's not so much a threat for us…anyone could play it off as a person in a frog suit or something. This is worse for Mira because you can clearly see her face and no doubt he'd give them her full name." Donnie said with a worried expression.

"That could affect Mira's family business which we can bet is what he's aiming for. Make that business go under as revenge for not agreeing to work with him." Leonardo pointed out.

"I don't see the police doing shit either." Raphael glowered.

Mikey couldn't help but release a frustrated growl. "So what's the plan? Are we just going to let this jerk ruin Mira's life!" He shocked himself that he was so upset about this.

Donnie shushed his brother's outburst. "Calm down Mikey, I'm thinking…" he turned to Mira. "Do you still know where he lives?"

She nodded. "Unless he's moved…wait!" She pulled the card he'd given her out of her purse and handed it to him.

"I can work with that." Donnie said and typed in his laptop. "Okay, his restaurant is here, we probably get his address from his computer or we can wait until he comes in."

"So a stakeout then?" Raph cracked his knuckles. "Can't wait."

Mira looked nervous. "What are you guys gonna do to him?"

Leo turned to her. "Just scare him mostly. Give Donnie time to delete the photos and destroy the physical copies."

"Yeah, we're not in the business of killing people." Raph said and added. "...Usually."

Mikey placed a soft kiss on her mouth and gave her a comforting smile. "We'll take care of this, don't worry."

"Okay…" she said and watched as the four of them filed out of her apartment one by one.

She attempted to sleep but until she knew it would be near impossible. The worst part was the waiting.

Michelangelo and his brothers made it to the restaurant and Donnie made quick work disabling the security system so they could go in undetected.

It didn't take him long to find a laptop and set about finding everything he could about this man. His name was Mark Wallace and he made a sound of interest at what he read.

"What is it Donnie?"

"Well I know how he was able to get those photos, he's rented two apartments, one is the apartment building across the street from Mira's and the other one is nearby the restaurant." He said.

"Which one should we go for then? We kinda need Donnie to do the photo thing." Raph said with a sigh of annoyance.

"We check both, the unoccupied one may still contain evidence that we can destroy." Leo said with a thoughtful look on his face.

With the plan set in motion they left the restaurant as it was and Donnie reset the security system.

They headed first for the apartment that was nearby. A quick check indicated that it was empty and Donnie had no trouble disabling that security system as well.

A quick search on his laptop and he was easily able to locate said photos and delete them. There was also a thorough search of any USB sticks that may have copies.

Raph sniffed in disdain. "What a piece of trash."

"Okay, done, I think that was the last of it." Donnie said.

Mikey had a dark look on his face. "I can't believe that shit-head has been camping out across the street from her."

His brothers all turned to look at him in varying degrees of shock. "Wow, you never swear." Donatello commented.

Mikey sighed. "I love her you guys. I hate the idea of some creeper/stalker ex-boyfriend being this close."

There was silence at the sudden declaration of love but Leo spoke up saying. "Don't worry Mikey, we're gonna get this guy and he won't be a problem for either of you anymore."

They finished up at that apartment and made their way to the other one.

This one was clearly occupied with a light left on in the living room.

They were quickly able to ascertain that he was sleeping and all four of them slipped into the living room.

They waited in the darkness. Mikey was impatient and decided to speed this along a little. He took one of his chucks and smashed the lamp, plunging the room into darkness.

Leonardo shook his head in disapproval but he said nothing.

Mark was immediately awakened by the sound and thought he was being robbed. He rolled out of bed and entered the living room. He was about to click on the light and stopped in his tracks as he saw four, large dark figures staring at him.

"What the fuu—" he said before Leo switched on another lamp illuminating him and his brothers.

"We're here for the photos." He said evenly.

Mark was at a loss for words as he processed what was going on. He nervously glanced to the envelope on the table. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Sure ya do, you jackass." Raphael said cracking his neck and his knuckles menacingly. "But please, keep playing dumb, it just makes you look like a complete idiot."

Mark put his hands up and tried to look non-threatening. "Look, I don't know what you…guys are talking about, you've all just committed a felony I could call the cops and have them here in a heartbeat." He said grabbing his landline phone.

"I think you've severely underestimated the situation you're in…" Mikey said walking towards him.

His eyes widened as he recognized the orange bandana. "It's you…"

End Chapter 7

A/N Mikey is angry...let's see what happens.
