Chapter 12: Round Two, a tie?

Richard felt like he was in a haze; every logical part was screaming for him to stop, to pry his lips and hands away from this sweet sin that was Kori Anders. He knew that this was KORI not BABS…Babs…the thought was a sobering one. He had a girlfriend and he was pretty sure that what he was doing counted as cheating; just as he was about to pull away and end this tryst a moan escaped her lips. That miniscule sound was his undoing, why were those mews and sighs so sexy? Why did they turn him on so much? Richard wasn't sure but he wanted to find out. He pulled away from Kori and looked into her eyes. They were half lidded from her euphoric and somewhat drunk state of mind but still a wondrous shade of green. He slowly ran his thumb across Kori's bottom lip; they were so soft and sweet. As he swept his finger across them, he felt her tongue touch slip out and lips slowly incase his finger in the warmth of her mouth. The sensation was a little more than Richard could bear. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to suppress a groan. Becoming frustrated Richard picked her up and pinned her against the wall latching onto her neck making Kori gasp at the sensation.

Being knocked up against the wall was a sobering action. The impact had brought Kori out of her pleasure induced stupor. Now she was supposed to make Richard want her but at the moment things seemed to be progressing a little too fast. Trying to collect her thoughts was harder than she thought with Richard sucking and licking her neck in all the right places.

"Richard…" she gasped as he softly bit her collarbone. "I..I'm not sure this a…a good idea…AHH" she stammered.

"Why?" he breathed. His hot breath inciting shivers down her neck. "Don't tell me you didn't plan on this happening?" he teased keeping up with his ministrations.

"N-nooo, of course not! You have a girlfriend! And I'm with Xavier" Kori said trying to convince herself more than Richard. Suddenly he bit down hard on her neck making her scream in both pleasure and pain.

"Don't say HIS name!! Not when I'm with you!! " Richard commanded. His kisses becoming more demanding and forced full. The thought of Kori and Xavier doing this made him furious. Of course him ordering her around, telling her who she can and cannot talk about made her furious! She pushed him off and slide down from the wall. Looking Richard dead in the eye, he was breathing heavily and looked like he was going to pounce any second, that thought made her shiver with pleasure, her knee nearly gave out at the thought she had to use the wall to steady herself. Of course that didn't stop her from giving him a piece of her mind!

"EXCUSE ME! Don't tell me what to do!! Who do you think you ar—" she was cut off by Richard's mouth on hers. He had caught her by surprise and she gave a small squeak, using that opportunity Richard plunged his tongue in her mouth, tilting her head to give him better access as he moved his lips against hers. She struggled against him for a moment. Richard had pinned her arms above her head and was viscously attacking her neck, ears, and mouth. He couldn't get enough of her, she was a drug, one he was willing to take over and over again.

Finally he felt her stiff muscles relax, she was giving into to her desires. Richard smirked at the thought. He was winning. Running his tongue lightly along her bottom lip he heard her moan slightly and open her mouth. She was becoming submissive to him, so taking this as a sign he invaded her mouth. Both tongues passionately fighting for dominance over the other. Richard was not going to lose this battle. Becoming bored and tired of the wall he picked Kori wrapping her long legs around his torso. His desire for her becoming evident. Stumbling across the room he finally found the bed and gently laid Kori down on it. Pulling away from her, he brushed a hair from her face; she looked uncertain about what may or may not happen next. Wanting her to calm down, Richard moved his hand to her neck and slowly ran his fingers across the nape of her neck and down her arm. She closed her eyes, taking in the sensations his fingertips were creating. Another moan escaped her lips, his hands were calloused but so gentle. She felt his fingers create little circles on her skin. Kori waned more of his touch so arched her back trying to get as close as possible to him. Richard breath caught in his throat , why were those sounds so sex? Richard was getting restless, he wanted her so badly and he had, had just about enough; if he didn't have her now he'd go nuts. Finally deciding on how to go about this without freaking Kori out, Richard's hand slowly traveled its way back up Kori's arm stopping at her breast. Kori gasped as Richard caressed her through the fabric of her dress. Though Kori's gasps of pleasure were a huge turn on, Richard wanted more; he wanted that dress off, legs wrapped around him and her screaming his name. He wanted her to be in so much pleasure she'd forget all about Xavier. Deserting her right breast he focused more attention to the breast while his other hand snaked its way down her side landing on her thigh. He heard Kori's breath hitch in her throat and she became somewhat stiff. Ahhh still innocent I see. Richard smirked to himself. So he was the first person to touch her like this, to make her moan the way she did when he kissed her neck. Dying to hear her sweet mews of pleasure again Richard attacked her neck with vigor.

"Richard!" she gasped almost forgetting about the hand caressing her thigh.

"Kori…" Richard whispered nibbling on her ear. Kori felt goose bumps and shivers arise from his breath and tongue on the sensitive skin below her ear. She felt his hand grasp her thigh and then move toward her center. The knots in her stomach tightened at the thought of what might happen next. She gasped when she felt him move aside her thong and slowly stroke her core.

"ahh…oooo Richard" she breathed as she grasped his shirt in her fists. Kori's eyes went wide as she felt him insert a finger. None had ever touched her like this; Kori's breathing became shallow as he inserted another finger and began pumping in and out. "Oh God Richard!" Kori moaned as Richard inserted a third finger, his ministrations becoming fiercer; trying to get Kori to that point of pure ecstasy. Wanting to touch him too Kori sat up and latched herself onto his neck. Sucking and kissing her way down to his shoulder, where she softly bit down inciting a groan from Richard who pushed her on her back and kissed her. The knots in her stomach becoming very tight, Kori moaned in frustration. His fingers felt amazing, she found herself bucking into his hand; her body needing something though she wasn't too sure what. Kori closed her eyes as tightly as she could, feeling as though she was about to burst. Unfortunately right as she was about to pop Richard removed his very talented fingers. She whimpered at the loss of his touch.

Richard had become frustrated with having to keep her skirt up while trying to pleasure her as well. He grunted about having to leave her touches and kisses, and wanting to get back to them as soon as possible. He heard her squeal as he yanked her off the bed. In her surprise her mouth had formed a little "o" and Richard couldn't help but lean down and give her a sweet sensual kiss. Kori melted into the kiss, swooning at the feel of Richard's lips on her own. Just as she was about the wrap her arms around Richard's neck and deepen the kiss she heard the distinctive sound of a zipper. Her eyes shot open and her body stiffened as she felt the zipper slowly being pulled down. The sound brought Kori out of her pleasure induced daze. OMG! He wants to have SEX!! Kori panicked. Of course Richard wants to have sex you nitwit! What do you think all this was being led up too!! Kori didn't know what to do! She was still a virgin, sure she'd make out with guys but there was no way she felt ready for sex. Her thoughts were interrupted when her dress hit the floor. She stood there wide eyed in her black lacey thong and bra. Even though she was still partially clothed Kori felt naked and had no idea what to do.

Richard's breath hitched in this throat. As he looked her up and down he saw that there before him stood a goddess; the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had a perfect hour glass figure; long luscious legs that went on forever, full hips, tiny waist, toned abs, round perfect breasts, sweet full kissable lips and soft skin. However it was her eyes that captivated him the most. He had always thought Kori had beautiful eyes, but right now they were the most entrancing shade of green. They were a deep emerald clouded with desire and warmth. His eyes lingered on her figure as he noticed her began to shift uncomfortably. Richard smirked at her uncharacteristic shyness. His smirk fell into a frown as Kori began to pull her dress back up.

"What are you doing?" Richard growled, he very much enjoyed the sight of her body and did not want to be denied the pleasure.

"leaving…" Kori said matter of factly. "we shouldn't be doing this Richard, you have a girlfriend! And I..I'm with Xavier" she said furrowing her brows in frustration.

"Funny, you didn't seem to be thinking of them a minute ago. Or mind what I was doing to you. I mean my ego and pride are going to be extremely hurt if I find out that you were really thinking of Xavier when you were moaning my name…" Richard taunted, raising that extremely sexy eye brow at Kori.

"Why you arrogant! Inconsiderate! Son of a bitch! I should have gone home when Xavier left! UGHH I should have taken his cab money and gotten the HELL out of that stupid restaurant!!" Kori yelled zipping up her dress and storming around the room looking for her damned shoes.

Richard sighed and rolled his eyes. The moment was definitely over. They were no longer lovers but enemies; going back to fighting this 'my horse is bigger than your horse' war. Richard smiled softly to himself as he watched her continue her rant on how obnoxious he was while she was desperately trying to find her other shoe. She truly was beautiful. Especially when she was angry; those wondrous eyes of hers held so much pride and passion. The phenomenal fire in them that lit up each time she named another reason why he was an ass or that what they had just done was "very erroneous"; as Kori had put it. He chuckled at how ridiculous this girl was. Here she was rattling off all these silly reasons of why their encounter would never happen again and she was still trying to impress him by using big words like "erroneous". Richard grimaced at the thought of this never happening again with her, his frown became a set in stone scowl at the thought of her doing those things with Xavier Redd. If Xavier ever laid a hand on Kori in such a way he'd kill him. Richard was brought out of his murderous thoughts by Kori's angry face staring straight at him. For not wanting to do of any of that stuff again her face was awfully close to his. Deciding to close the gap between them Richard quickly swooped down and caught her lips with his. Kori; to say the least was more than surprised. However to Richard's dismay she didn't swoon like she had the last time he caught her off guard. Pushing Richard off, Kori glared at him before storming out the door muttering something about him being a pervert and an asshole rolled into one.

Richard jumped slightly when he heard the door slam. Feeling a headache coming on he slowly rubbed his temples and pinched the bridge of his nose as though that might stop it from coming. Sighing he knew that he would be up all night trying to sort out what the hell had just happened. Yes he was attracted to Kori, any sane man with a working penis would be attracted to her. Not only was Kori extremely beautiful, but she was intelligent too. She challenged him; she was terribly clever and interesting. Dinner had flown by, never was there a dull moment. Their conversations were sometimes spirited but thrilling none the less. Plus she didn't have to do much to turn him on, Lord knows Kori barely had to do anything to get Richard rock hard. Not even Babs could do that….Oh shit…Babs. Lord bless his soul he had forgotten all about Babs. Honestly he hadn't thought about her since she left him at dinner due to her weak stomach and for a few seconds when Kori had mentioned her earlier. Richard must have sat there for what seemed like hours comparing the two girls only to come up with one conclusion.

"I've got to have Kori Anders."

Kori slammed the door to her house and stormed up the stairs. Mentally cursing herself for being so stupid as to go that far with Richard Grayson! While at the same time cursing Grayson for being such a pompous ass! As she threw herself down on her bed she had to give herself credit….she did make him want her that much was obvious. Kori laid there and smirked, thinking about much Richard had wanted her to stay. She blushed at the memories of her moaning his name of how he made her whole body feel like it was on fire. Kori felt herself getting all worked up just at the thought of him touching her like that again. The ride home had be agony! Every second without him touching her was painful. Kori chided herself at the thought of needing him; she was trying to get him to want her not the other way around! Sitting up in her bed Kori thought about what her next move should be. Things had gone way to far this early in the game, he did make her want him too. Kori groaned. Fine this ones a tie...After thinking for a good 30 minutes about it Kori let out an aggravated grunt, she couldn't think of anything!

"I suppose I could just wait to see what he does…like in chess! I made the first move and now it's his turn!" Kori exclaimed gleefully. "In the mean time I'll just stick to Xavier like glue…not that, that's very hard. Dumb boy is everywhere I go, well I just may have to turn up the heat with him….that'll get Richard's blood boiling" Kori laughing clapping her hands together. Kori let out another sigh, but a satisfied one this time.

"Payback should not be this much fun" she giggled.

Rachel woke up what she assumed was around 3 in the afternoon and with the most horrendous hangover she had ever had. Sitting up she winced at the head rush and the crack of light peaking in through the window.

"Uggnnh, I seriously hate myself right now" she groaned desperately trying to find the source of light so she could destroy it. "Where the fuck am I?" she wondered looking around at her surroundings. Strangely some of the things in the room looked familiar to her. Cute little green teddy bear, some track trophies, photos of family and friends, picture of her and Gar. She smiled at the picture. How she remembered that night; Gar had told her that he lov-Holy Shit I'm in Gar's room!!!! No wonder everything looked familiar. How did I get here?? I need to get out of her before…

"Good moring Rae" Gar said softly, bringing in a tray with some fruit, coffee and breakfast assortments on it. He also had her purse she brought to the party and set it down next to her on the bed. Rachel eyed him suspiciously wondering what HAD happened last night. Did he take advantage of her in her drunken state? Gasping slightly she glanced down to make sure all her clothes were still in fact on her and not the floor.

Gar chuckled lightly at her suspicious antics "Nothing like that happened last night Rae. Not that I didn't want it too, but you passed out before anything could escalate to that level. And I wasn't about to take advantage of you when you were passed out. Not only is that just morally wrong but I know you would have killed me when you woke up. " Gar smiled sheepishly at her. Lord she missed those smiles. Rachel shook her head trying to rid herself of happy memories.

"What happened?" she asked through clenched teeth. This headache was killing her, Lord wasn't he going to give her any aspirin or did he want her to suffer for not taking him back??

"Well you showed up at the party and as I'm told made pretty good friends with the Bartender. Steve I think his name was." Gar muttered his jealousy very apparent. "Anyways you had pretty much a 5th of 151 vodka to yourself….very impressive by the way. And you began to dance on the table." Gar grinned at the memory. Rachel groaned in embarrassment and then nodded for him to continue. "Well then I decided I better get you down from there, the way you were dancing you were getting some looks and I didn't want any of those guys near you while you were that drunk" Gar furrowed his brow thinking of the guys that were obliviously gawking at his Rachel.

"You don't own me Gar!" Rachel yelled putting up her defenses.

Gar rolled his eyes "Do you wanna dear the rest of this or not?" Rachel sighed and nodded. "Anyways, well once I got you down from the table you…umm wanted to dance. I tried to tell you that you weren't thinking straight and this wasn't a good idea. But you weren't hearing any of it and pulled me on the dance floor….sooo we danced and then you became a little handsy and basically we hooked up!" Gar finished. Rachel gasped and looked at him wide eyed. "Look I tried to stop you but you started kissing me and it felt so good that I just gave in, I knew you were made at me but I missed your touch, your kisses!" Gar spoke softly coming towards her, his eyes pinned on her. She would not be the first to look away but it was becoming increasingly hard to look at him with his piercing and unflinching gaze on you. He stopped right in front of her placing his hand on her cheek."I missed all of you." He said barely above a whisper but she heard it clear as day. His face was coming closer to hers and Rachel felt her resolve crumbling away. She had to get out and fast or she was going to give in. and that was something she really didn't want to do…right?

"Stop!" she cried. Rachel's breathing had become thin; she placed her hand over her chest in an attempt to slow her rapidly beating heart. She closed her eyes for a moment trying to put the right words together. "I-I appreciate what you did, taking care of me I mean. I know I'm not the easiest drunk to deal with. But I think I should leave now" with that Rachel grabbed her purse and bolted from the room, not even giving Gar a chance to argue.

"Damn!" she heard Gar curse as she shut his bedroom door and ran out of that house faster than you can say Bob's your uncle. Closing the front door she found that her car was parked outside. Getting in and turning on the ignition Rachel drove out of there and to the safety of her own house where she spent the next few hours going over and over how stupid she acted last night. Rachel held her head in her hands crying slightly. She was supposed to go out and have fun! To try and not think about Gar, to try and get over him. What did she do instead? She got wasted, ended up dancing and then making out with Gar! Of all people she had to make out with Gar!

Lord I'm dumb Rachel thought running her hand through her disheveled hair. Rachel made a face feeling that her hair was a little too greasy for her. Letting out a breath she trudged into her bathroom for a well deserved and needed soak in the tub. "Fuck my life.." she sighed settling herself into the warm water. "what the fuck am I going to do with myself….I need a drink."
