Ch 41

Gar woke up in the morning on the pull out couch in Vic's living room. It was still early in the morning, and he could see that from the window. In a few hours he and Raven would be off again on another adventure. He wondered what awaited them and what the future held for them.

"Gar?"

Coming out of his thoughts, he looked to the empath in his embrace. "Hey, did I wake you?"

"Well I felt your worry but I was waking up anyways. Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I was just wondering what's next for us."

"I don't know. Do you want to go back to Africa?"

"Maybe we should try a new location," he smiled. "A beautiful deserted beach for two, a nice intimate hut where we can cuddle, kiss, and make love to our hearts content."

Raven smiled. "While that does sound nice Gar, the sun is not my friend."

"Well," he smirked, "I could always help you apply sun tan lotion and aloe vera to your skin after our time in the sun."

"I know how much you would enjoy that Gar."

"You know you would to," he purred in her ear.

Raven felt pleasant chills run down her spine at his warm breath in her ear. Raven sighed. "All right we'll try it but where can we find such a place."

Gar kissed her on the cheek. "Leave that to me Rae, I'll find a place," he said as he whipped out Vic's laptop.

"You're really excited about this."

"Of course I am Rae, anytime with you is exciting."

Raven kissed him on the cheek while he continued searching. "You know if we're staying for a while, we're going to need a lot of sun tan lotion and aloe vera."

Gar blushed as he looked at his smirking girlfriend. "Are you going to think less of me if I said how turned on I am right now."

"No, but we're not having sex in Vic's home. Dick and Kory all ready took care of that. She's hormonal, and he's a guy. There's nothing that would have stopped them, but we can control ourselves until we leave."

"That's reasonable," Gar smiled, "and I just found the perfect place, booked the tickets, and we'll be off soon Rae."

"Good," Raven smiled as Gar shut the laptop, jumped his girlfriend, kissed her fiercely, and got up, grabbed some clothes from his luggage, and went to get dressed in the bathroom.
