Well the time has finally come... the actual reason for the M rating. You've been warned! Like, the title of the chapter gives it away right?

Special thanks to LadyofBone for the review!


"Babe, let me do that for you," Baxium said.

Mira pouted as she dropped her hands and slouched her shoulders. Baxium's hands returned to where hers had been and she closed her eyes. Suddenly, shivers ran down her spine, beginning from her scalp as he began running his claws through her hair. She hummed in pleasure and comfort while sitting on his lap in his living room.

He had dimmed the lights and placed candles around for them, and Mira felt relaxed, if not a bit guilty. It was the second time she had basically shut down his advances. Baxium was such a gentleman about it, it almost made her feel worse. She sighed, leaning back against him as his claws continued to tenderly massage her scalp.

"I'm sorry," she said with a pout, staring at the television.

"For what?" he asked, his hands both wrapping around her waist. "If you aren't ready to do anything it's fine, it's not going to make or break this relationship."

She sighed once more. "Thanks, but it's not that I don't want to do it with you, cuz I actually do," she admitted.

Baxium gave her a confused look, though she couldn't see his face. "Then what's stopping you?"

She shrugged. There was so much she wished he could just know so she didn't have to explain it. Maybe some Triceraton technology could allow him to read her mind. But that would be far too easy.

"I get nervous," she started, not sure if it was an entirely accurate way of explaining things. Baxium listened without saying anything. "Past experiences with that kind of thing haven't exactly worked out for me." She continued avoiding eye contact as she tried to explain things to him.

A concerned look fell onto Baxium's face at her ominous words. "How do you mean?"

Her face began to heat with embarrassment, though it was for nothing cute. Her voice was so quiet, Baxium strained to hear her words. "It just... didn't go the way I would have liked."

He remained quiet and gave her a reassuring squeeze, hoping to encourage her to open up to him. "You can tell me, love."

She shrugged again, feeling her mood starting to return as she recalled the times she had trusted someone and lost it all in one night. It took moments for the words to come to her, but Baxium remained silent and encouraging. His warm embrace was one Mira came to trust after the months in which he could have done whatever he wanted and didn't.

"I've been taken advantage of before," she said so quietly, it was almost a whisper. Baxium heard. And as he held her fragile body in his muscular arms, gently reassuring her that things would be fine with a hand caressing her arm and face, he felt anger well up inside of him that he didn't expect.

"I see," he said. His brows were furrowed as he thought of the implications of her words. He didn't want to force her to talk about it if she didn't want to.

"I didn't expect it to happen. But it did. With people I trusted." She shook her head and fell silent, worried she had said too much to him.

Baxium's large hand returned to her cheek with reassuring caresses. "I would never do anything to hurt you, Mira. And I don't want you to feel like you have to do anything you don't want to just to make me happy. You already make me very happy," he explained as he brought his face to meet hers. He kept his face against her cheek until she pulled away and gave him a kiss.

"I trust you Baxi," she said sweetly. "You've had a lot of opportunities to do something and you haven't."

He realized when she said that how right she was, but it had never even occurred to him.

"Which is why I feel so bad that we haven't done anything even though I know I want to with you," she continued.

"Oh," he said as his arms wrapped around her waist again. "Well like I said there's no rush sweetheart. I want you to be comfortable and we can take our time," he explained before nuzzling against her face again.

Her arms wrapped around his snout and she closed her eyes. She knew she wouldn't be able to ever initiate something with him, and she wasn't sure how long he would be okay with not doing anything.

"But," he said as he gently pulled away. "If I can help you, you should tell me."

"What do you mean?"

He shrugged. "I mean if you wanted to try little things first and see how you feel about it then go from there," he suggested.

She thought for a moment, still unsure of what he meant exactly. "Like what?"

He gave it some thought before he spoke again. "Oh, like when you talk about bases? Right? It's like taking small steps until you get to se...er, you know?"

"Oh," she said as she thought about it herself. "I mean..."

"No?"

"I wouldn't be opposed to that," she said, finally looking at him. He returned her smile and gave her one of his Triceraton kisses. She returned his kiss with one of her own, and soon they were in a back and forth that would only be odd to someone watching from the outside. To Mira and Baxium, their kisses were the most romantic thing either had ever done.

In some effort to show she was still interested, Mira moved onto the couch, forcing Baxium to follow her and then end up above her as she rested against the side pillows. She looked up at him with expectant eyes and he gave her another one of his kisses. This time, however, she felt his snout against her neck, and soon felt gentle nips on her skin. She gave a quiet gasp at his bites and he stopped.

"Is that too much?" he asked, his voice soft and caring. Mira simply wrapped her arms around his neck and shook her head with a hummed 'no.'

Her arms encouraged him to return to her neck and continue giving her gentle bites, and that was exactly what he did. Her small hands ran down his arms, squeezing him at times until she ended on his forearms. Her head was turned to allow him easier access to her neck, and he wondered where he was supposed to take things from there.

He pulled away and Mira's eyes fluttered open. "Did you want to take this into the bedroom?" he asked. "We don't need to go any further, there's just more space for my arms there," he added with a sheepish smile.

Mira noticed that while he had one hand positioned perfectly next to her head, his other was bent at a weird angle to hold him up against the arm of the couch. It was difficult to hold in her amusement. She nodded and started to get up as he sat up on the couch. Before she could do anything, Mira was lifted in his arms and on her way into his bedroom where more candles awaited.

She wanted to mention the amount of candles he owned, but didn't want to kill the mood. She was laid gently on his bed as she had been several times in the past, and he smoothly moved above her to continue right where he left off on the couch. He was much more comfortable with the space his bed gave them, and she was happy to be against his large, soft pillows as he love-bit her neck.

After another minute or so of him just gently biting and even licking her neck, shoulders, and collar bone, Mira realized Baxium might not know where to go next. She had had time to consider how far she wanted to go with him tonight, and knew that as long as nothing felt off about him and her self-esteem didn't get the best of her, she wanted to go all the way. After all, she didn't shave and put on matching underwear for nothing.

Baxium pulled away as she started to kiss him and playfully bite him. He smiled, relieved she was doing something in return and he wasn't just making her feel awkward or weird. In a moment of courage, he placed a hand against her hip and rubbed her skin there with his thumb. His touch shot a fast wave of shivers through her body and she knew that she wanted more.

He was being so cautious and so gentle, giving her all the time she needed to say yes or no, and she was saying yes.

While Mira and Baxium were taking their time together, Ashley and Mikey were in a similar place together on her couch. Mikey's arms were around her with a hand dangerously daring to reach second base. A nonsense movie played in the background while Ashley straddled him, her lips kissing down his thick neck.

Mikey wondered how lucky he had to be to be in this position after knowing Ashley for only a couple of months, and dating less than half that time. Ashley wondered how far she really wanted to go with him, and wondered if it was worth the risk of him deciding he was done after just one night. All her doubts were countered with his touch, and as his hand slid under her shirt, she knew there was no going back if she let him get that far.

Ashley lifted her head and gave him a playful smile.

"What're you doin, handsy?" she asked as she wrapped her fingers around his wrist, his hand stopped on the small of her back as he looked back at her.

"What?" he asked with his goofy grin.

His smile melted away at the walls she had forced up over the years, but there was still one standing that could only be opened by her. Her grip on his wrist loosened as she lowered herself onto his plastron, going back in for a kiss.

When their lips met, her hand let go of his and returned to his shoulders, allowing him to continue trailing his hand up her back. Whatever happened, she would be happy it was with Mikey. The loveable jokester had a way of sneaking through her walls and making himself at home in her heart, and she wanted to stop forcing people out. After all, Mira had yelled at her plenty of times for self-sabotaging her relationships.

Mikey began trailing kisses down her neck, and she finally allowed herself to let go and join him in his advances.

Back in Baxium's apartment, Mira was now on top of him with a playful smile on her face. Baxium returned her smile with his hands teasing her inside her shirt.

"So how do I get this off you?" he teasingly asked as he tugged at her shirt.

She simply smiled at him and began to remove it herself, revealing a lacy red and black bra. "Like this," she said as she did so. Baxium's eyes went wide with surprise, but his hands returned to her hips and began running down and up her thighs.

"Oh, hello," he said with a grin.

She rested her hands on his chest as her arms squeezed her breasts together. "Hi," she replied with a smile. Inside, her nerves were going wild. She had no idea what to expect from him or how he would react to her naked body. So far at least, he was doing well.

"Wow," he said breathlessly as he brought his hands up her arms and slowly to her breasts. She nodded in allowance and took in a deep breath as his strange, large thumbs began to massage her through her bra.

Baxium slowly lowered his hands and gently squeezed her hips. "Wow, sorry," he started, flustered. "I didn't know what to expect."

Mira's smile quickly faded as all her worries came to the front of her mind. "What's wrong?"

He shook his head. "Nothing, I'm just... a little flustered to be honest." His words brought a blush to her face. "I feel lucky to be here with you like this," he told her honestly as his hands ran back up her arms. "And I don't want to ruin it."

"Aww, Baxi..." Mira started with a small smile as she tilted her head. His hand came up to cup her cheek and she was taken away by his sincere smile. "I love you," she said simply, before moving back in to plant kisses all over his face and neck.

He laughed and turned his head as his hands ran up her bare back. Her soft warm skin felt like heaven under his fingertips. "I love you too, Mira." He continued to run his hands over her back as they shared kisses, heating up the room.

When Baxium ran a singular claw up her spine, Mira suddenly recalled a fact she learned about Triceratons when they started dating, and her hands found their way up to his frill. He felt her fingers run up his ribbed crown and his eyes shot open with surprise.

"Oh," he said deeply. "Hell-o." Mira yelped as he rolled her over so that he was back on top of her. With her cheeks burning red, Mira was given more love bites along her neck that seemed more passionate.

She gasped as she felt her own desire rising up at his touch. His huge hands were surprisingly soft against her own skin, and it encouraged her to accept his advances. She didn't need much encouragement though, only the assurance that he was attracted to her no matter what he saw underneath her clothing.

"I want you so badly," he said in her ear, his hand remaining firm on her hip. Though he didn't move it, she could tell where he wanted it to go.

Her hand found its way back up to his frill and she pulled him closer to her. His initial shock quickly faded when he felt her teeth on his neck. His throat vibrated as he gave a guttural groan and his hands began trailing up her body. She felt her back arch slightly at his touch and was more aroused by him than she had ever been before. The same could be said for Baxium.

While Mira and Baxium took their time together on his bed, Ashley and Mikey were laying in hers under the covers watching random videos on her phone. Mikey stole glances at her every now and then, feeling a bit awkward about earlier. Though he had high hopes for the night with her, he didn't want her to be uncomfortable.

He was happy to settle in with his arm around her and funny videos distracting them from the awkward air. He could get another chance.

The chance he hoped for was the very chance Baxium was getting only a few blocks away. Mira was nervous as she lay beneath him in only her underwear while Baxium was missing only his shirt. His reddish-orange skin never seemed so tantalizing to her, and still her mind was holding her back.

"You seem nervous," he noted as he lowered himself next to her, tossing his shirt aside. "If you want to stop here, we can, love." He gave her a reassuring smile and rested his arm across her body. Though his words were reassuring and gentle, Mira couldn't help but feel bad for the slow pace she was still setting so far into their relationship.

"I don't want to stop," she started nervously while avoiding eye contact.

"Okay," he started. "So what do you want?"

"Don't ask me to say that out loud," she grumbled.

"I just want to make sure we're on the same page, and you do want this. Because we could stop here and just cuddle and I'd be cool with that-" he started rambling on and Mira shook her head at him with a smile. He shut up.

"We're on the same page," she assured him. "And if you keep talking you're gonna ruin it."

He looked at her with a curious expression before giving a flustered kind of look. "Right, sor-"

"I love you," she said as she pulled his face back to hers. "But you talk too much sometimes."

"Got it," he said quietly as he pressed his face against hers and started to bite her again. The soft moan she let out at his more aggressive approach added to the overall arousal he had already experienced. He wanted more of her, wanted his hands all over her, and that's just what she wanted, too.

Though it took them time, eventually they were rolling around together on the sheets, teeth and claws sinking into skin and moans and groans filling the candlelit room. When Mira was on top again, the adrenaline and arousal she felt gave her the confidence to sit up on him and slowly remove her bra.

Baxium watched with a smile on his face, his hands caressing her legs as she tossed her bra aside. Of all the horrible reactions she thought of and expected, she was unprepared to see him lick his lips and then pull her back down onto the bed. They both shared quiet laughs and moans as they undressed themselves and one another. When it came down to Baxium's underwear, Mira could already see how... prepared he was. And how endowed...

She was only more nervous when she realized his size was proportional to the rest of his body. She wouldn't need to be prepared right away as he had other plans for her at first. She watched him in surprise as he lowered his head between her legs.

"Oh," she sighed as she nervously opened her legs for him. There was so much more for her to be nervous about in just that one place, and he was about to put his tongue there. Nervous as she was, she wasn't about to stop him.

His tongue sent intense waves of pleasure through her body, resulting in movements that she had no control over. Her hips grinded against his mouth, her back arched, and her hands grabbed whatever blanket was around to hold onto. He somehow continuously found just the right places to press his tongue against while also getting it farther in her than she ever thought possible for a tongue.

It didn't take long for her to climax against his face with his hands massaging her breasts as he did his tongue business. When she did, he felt her hips grind against his snout in a strangely arousing finish that only made him want her more.

He lifted his head and crawled up to meet her face with his own. Mira's breathing was heavy and her arms welcomed him to her. In a moment of love and passion, Mira attempted to wrap her legs around him before realizing that it meant his dick would be pressing against her lower stomach. She tried to ignore it as he nuzzled her and she kissed his neck. While her hands felt up all over his head and frill, his hands felt all over her sides and legs.

The nervousness Mira felt became subdued by her growing desire to have more of him. It didn't help that he continued to let out soft groans as they grew more passionate. The deep vibrations of his voice as he spoke to her signaled to her body that she should be ready for him.

"You ready, baby?" he said in her ear. She closed her eyes and her legs reflexively, but was in fact ready for him.

Slowly, she opened her legs for him, peeking at his size once more before closing her eyes again. It was difficult to see in the dim light, but the size was really the only thing that concerned her- as well as the condom he so expertly put on.

"Go slow," she said softly, almost in a whisper.

"I will," he replied, just as softly. Then she felt it, finally. His shaft pressed against her, begging for her to take him. Her back arched when he finally got it in, and she felt him slowly fill her just as he promised. The only pain was from the stretch, but it was so slight and it disappeared before he started to pull out.

"That alright?" he asked.

She nodded, her eyes closed and her back returning to the bed. "Mhmm..."

He smiled and lowered his face back next to her ear. "Good."

Her moans filled his room when he began moving again. Before long, his groaning joined her. Mira was grateful for his understanding and his slow pace, but once she was used to him, she wanted more. Her nails dug into his arms and she dragged them down to her, watching his face as he contemplated biting her once again in return. He did.

The moan that escaped from his bite aroused him even more, and she could almost feel him throbbing inside of her. She wanted more.

"Faster," she whispered, her nails digging into him once more. Baxium didn't need to be told twice. He followed her direction and was instantly rewarded with more of her moaning and scratching. He took more pleasure from the pain she gave than he would have thought, and she was clearly enjoying his biting.

Time to return the favor, he thought, still thrusting into her. He lifted his head and slowed his movement as he brought a claw to her jaw, gently dragging it down her chin and neck. He could see the pleasure she gained from it and as he picked up his pace once more, he pulled her up on top of him while he sat up on his knees.

Ryan knew that something was up when he opened the door to a candlelit living room. When he heard the moaning coming from Baxium's room he made the snap decision to leave and run whatever late night errands he could.

Mira found it difficult to maintain steady footing on the bed as she bobbed up and down, but didn't need to support herself much with Baxium's huge arms helping her move. When the waves of pleasure became more intense, his claws dug into her hips and her back which only added to her own pleasure.

They made love for nearly an hour together until Baxium finally finished and tired from all the action. Wax dripped onto the surfaces the candles were sat on, creating a decent pool of drying wax coated with hot wax around the room. Mira lay on top of him, both sweating and breathing heavily as they came down from the high of their time together.

"Wow," Baxium sighed, now gently caressing her back with his hand while the other absent-mindedly played with her hair.

She hummed happily in response and cuddled up to him, far too hot for covers.

He brushed hair from her face to see her laying on his chest with her eyes closed. He smiled and relaxed against his pillows. "Did you have as much fun as me?" he asked quietly.

Mira nodded her head. "Yes," she said simply.

"Good."

When they had finally caught their breath and cooled down, Baxium stood up to clean himself off and blow out the candles around the apartment. When he returned, Mira was laying in his bed on her phone.

From his bedroom, Ryan heard a surprised shriek when Baxium jumped her and began tickling her. "Stop!" she laughed as she pushed his hands off her.

He gave her a kiss and held her to him as they laid on their sides. "I love you, Mira."

She blushed for the millionth time that night and snuggled against him. "I love you too."

As Mira fell asleep in Baxium's arms, Ashley was already asleep in Mikey's, a nightgown on while he stayed in his boxers. The night ended peacefully and quietly before Raph returned home on his bike, alone. When he realized he was alone in the apartment, there was no loneliness following the realization. His night ended with a woman as well and though he was simply dropping her off after their date, he was confident things would continue to go well.
