Ch 33

Waking up on the couch of Raven's room, he remembered why he had chosen the couch. It was too risky to sleep next to her and not be tempted to touch her. He knew she still didn't understand his reasoning, but she left it alone. 'But for how long?' he thought as he sat up. 'I have to get her out of here.

"Queen Raven, he is clearly useless. Let us dispose of him for you and you can rule with a clear head. This green creature is holding you back from your potential as ruler." Gar could hear the male voice talking from outside the door.

"I have all ready said I would deal with him. He is none of your concern," said Raven.

"I understand if you keep him around to amuse yourself."

"My business is my own and if won't comply, then you will be terminated. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes my Queen," said the male voice as Gar could hear is retreating steps.

Quickly Gar made it back to the couch and closed his eyes, hoping she hadn't caught him listening in on their conversation.

"I know Garfield you might as well open your eyes."

Gar opened his eyes and smiled embarrassingly. "It's funny that I think I can fool you after all these years."

"He does have a point Garfield. I can't let you stay here. You don't belong here."

"And you do? I don't think so Raven. I think you think this is what you deserve for what you've done, but it's not true. You are a good person who lost their way. You're not evil."

"I was a good person Garfield, but there's always been my demon form inside me. I thought I could run from it forever. I thought I could embrace it and do some good and for a while, it was working, but I'm not running anymore. This is who I am, who I've always been deep inside."

"No!" Gar stood up from the couch. "I don't believe that. You were the strongest woman I've ever known and fought everyday like hell to not be like your father, to being your own person. I'm afraid you won't be too far behind him if you stay here Raven. Don't you love me or yourself enough to see this isn't good for you?"

"All my love died the day you died Garfield."

"I'm not dead anymore Raven. I'm right here! I'm begging you to leave this place with me. We'll figure out the rest later I promise. You have to trust me."

"I'm scared about what will happen if I leave. Strange enough I feel safe here."

"I know it's scary Rae, but I'll be right beside you the whole way," he said as he held her hands in his. "I'm not leaving you."

Raven smiled. "Tomorrow," she said as she felt Garfield hold her tight. She could feel relief flow through him. She heard him say I love you, and she held tighter to his body.

Gar was relived that Raven had agreed to leave Trigon's realm tomorrow, but tonight he was relaxing under the warm water of her shower. Getting out of the shower, he turned off the water and reached for a towel and realized they were all gone. 'Huh, that's strange,' he thought as he made his way out of the bathroom naked and dripping wet.

"Raven, I know you have something to do with this," Gar said as he barged into her living quarters wrapped in a robe reading a book.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you mean?" smirked Raven from behind her book.

"Tell me Rae," he said as his mouth met her ears, "what exactly was your plan?" Raven blushed but was even more surprised when he knocked the book out of her hand, laid her down on her back, and straddled her waist.

"I just wanted to see you like this," she said as her hand reached up and caressed his face before moving her hand down his well built chest.

"Is that all?" Gar smirked as he leaned into her, so their faces were at level with each other.

"No," she said as she pulled his body to hers and kissed him passionately with hunger he didn't know she possessed. "I want you so bad Gar, please don't deny me."

"I won't, not anymore Raven, not when I know we'll be leaving this place tomorrow, together."

Raven smiled as she used her powers to switch their positions. Removing the robe on her body, she revealed herself bare to him. "Whoa," he blushed. "I didn't think you get more beautiful," he said as he moved hands up her hips and moved over her thighs and squeezed.

"G—Gar," she moaned, "feels so good but I think you deserve to receive pleasure," she said as she licked his penis before sitting on it carefully.

Gar was breathing heavily as he watched her move up and down on him at frantic pace while he held onto her hips, his claws bearing down on her red skin. He observed the movement of her breasts and was hypnotized by the power they seemed to have over him. When he felt his orgasm coming, he screamed out as he claws dug into his hips.

Looking up at her, she smiled down at him, tears in her eyes. "R—Rae, what's wrong?"

"I'm happy."

"Me to," he smiled as she rested her body on top of his. Rubbing her smooth and sweaty back, he heard her purring. Gar laughed. "Didn't know you could do that?"

"Oh," she smirked as she brought her head up to rest on his chest, "there's a lot of things you don't know about me."

"Well," he kissed her cheek, "we have the rest of our lives to learn all sorts of new and interesting things about each other. I love you Rae."

Raven lied her head back on his chest. "I love you to Gar," she said, feeling the rise and fall of his body. She knew he was asleep. It was the first time she had said those words since he had been here. Continuing to listen to his heartbeat, she wanted this moment to last forever.

"Goodnight Garfield," she said as she kissed the place where his heart was. Carefully removing her body from his, she headed towards her bedroom. She had plans to make.
