Lavi was...restless. No other way really to describe what she was feeling as she looked out across the distance to the peak rising from the ground in front of her in the distance. It was an eerie sight, the rising clouds coming from the fire mountain shone in the moonlight and they seemed to glow with a magical shimmer as she watched them lazily rise to the heavens.
It had been, as was becoming the norm, a long road trip of a day. And that didn't help her mood any. It's not that she didn't like riding with Jessica and her team, but her mood had been...off since that night Jeff had attacked Cindy. She had felt something through her bond with Ty later that night, and it was something she really wasn't ready to confront yet. The bad thing about sharing feelings with another person was that occasionally they forgot to block certain things out, the end result being that Lavi knew what happened before her parents did. And got a hefty dose of his feelings from it too.
She also knew yelling at him wouldn't do any good. It really wasn't his fault. He didn't know she was emotionally eavesdropping on that very private moment between the two, simply because he was too busy with Cindy to remember that Lavi was there. She supposed Ty would get better at it with time and he would learn to close that door first. And she was very thankful she didn't get any visuals from him. She'd never be able to look him in the eye again without blushing.
But the experience left her with her own...feelings. Feelings she had been trying to suppress. And it didn't help matters in that regard when Ari caught Thane and Jessica making out, and promptly informed everyone about it. While he was chasing her around with a big stick.
All around her, her cousins and brother were openly embracing these new feelings stirring in them. Lavi was still trying to hide hers. Which was why she was out here, on the edge of camp looking out over the landscape.
"You know pretty girl, I'm starting to think you are avoiding me."
Lavi jumped a bit, she had been so lost in her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed Kyle walking up.
"I guess...I kinda have been." She admitted to him as she turned towards him.
He grinned at her. "Bored with me already?"
"No, of course not." She smiled at him. Then swallowed hard as she noticed how close he was standing. She tried to hide her now slightly trembling hands by crossing her arms. "I'm just...trying to figure some things out is all."
"And I'm assuming it's got to do with me."
Her cheeks flushed a bit, but she didn't deny it.
"You know," Kyle said thoughtfully, looking out towards the volcano "my dad always told me, the best way to deal with your fears is to face them." He turned his brown eyes to her. "Maybe it's time you quit trying to hide behind yours."
Her trembling picked up. Lavi wasn't so sure she could. That other side of her still scared her and she hugged herself tightly as she turned her head away.
Kyle wasn't having none of it and reached out with a gentle hand to turn her to face him again. "I told you before Lavi, it doesn't frighten me. It's time you stopped letting it frighten you." His head came in and he kissed her, the hand that had gently held her face softly trailed down her shoulder and over her arms before he firmly uncrossed them. Then he stepped closer to her so she couldn't bring them back up in that defensive posture again.
She felt that now familiar urge trying to come to the surface and pulled her lips away from him. "Kyle...I..."
"You want me to stop?" He asked her gently. "I will. I don't want you to feel like I'm forcing anything on you."
Lavi looked up into his eyes, her body shaking now. She didn't want him to stop, she didn't want this fear to drive a wedge between them. He had been more than patient with her, and honestly, she was tired of caring for him but being afraid to touch him. This time she was the one who moved in, her lips planting firmly against his as her arms wrapped around his neck. When that feral growl came out of her throat again, she let it. If this relationship was going to go anywhere, she had to learn how to control that primal side. And there was only one way to learn.
She kissed him harder, pushing her body against his as her fingers tangled themselves in his hair. He responded without fear, his hand gently sliding under her shirt and against the skin on her side. That slight touch made a shiver run over her body and her next growl turned into a quiet moan of desire.
That earned her an encouraging smile from him. "See? It's not that bad, is it? You can touch me without turning into a snarling humping monster."
She gave him an incredulous look a moment, then laughed. "Now that's real romantic."
He grinned at her as he backed up. "True though. It's a start anyway. That's all I really wanted you to see."
Her eyeridge shot up and she held onto him tighter. "Oh no, you are not going to get me all worked up then just back out of it. You opened that door, and now we are going to go through it." She pulled him back against her.
"Hel-lo..." He said quietly as his hands settled on her waist. "Getting brave now, aren't you?"
"I'm a ninja turtle, we are all brave."
He smiled a soft smile at her. "Let's just see how brave..." And he came in for another, tender kiss.
They were both so lost in each other that neither one of them noticed the shadow watching not far away. His blue eyes looking on as they filled with tears. He had come out here to talk with his daughter, to try and sooth her fears like he had since she was a child.
Now Leonardo found someone else taking up that task. It was, to him, the final blow. They were now both lost from his parental grip. He had hoped that there was still a place for him in their lives, but he was now firmly being pushed aside. They didn't need him anymore.
He turned away from the pair, his heart heavy and once again feeling his age. They had outgrown him in every way and there was nothing left to hold them to him. He quietly returned to the camp, his mind lost in the past he was dearly missing.
Lavi's Father was the last thing on her mind right now. Her head had leaned back as Kyle brought his lips to her throat, her hands placed on his chest, feeling the play of his muscles underneath the fabric. She was suddenly hit with the desire to feel him and those hands slid down and pulled the hem of his shirt out of his belted waistband of his pants.
He pulled his head away from her and allowed her to lift the shirt over his head and her eyes curiously explored his torso before her hands followed on their own path. Her fingertips lightly brushing over his ripped abs and another low growl coming out of her throat.
"I'm going to take that as a sound of approval." He murmured, his own hands sliding up her arms and around to the back of her neck.
"It was meant to be one." She now nervously replied. Nervous because his fingers had found the tie that held her modified shirt up. Once he untied it, there was nothing that was going to hold it up, since all of her shirts had the backs cut out of them, to make room for her shell. Another fear started to come to the surface as he pulled her shirt away from her and down her arms. The fear of how different their bodies actually were.
He finally pulled the garment away far enough to where he had a clear view of what was underneath. And to her surprise, she didn't find disgust or revulsion in his eyes. Only curiosity as his fingers traced the upper swell of her plastron, then glided his fingers over the plate that curved outward to somewhat resemble a human breast, but was obviously not the tender mass of flesh he was expecting. She started shaking again as he quietly stood there, taking in what had been hidden from him before.
"What's wrong love?" He asked her, his eyes going from her body to her eyes.
"I...I'm scared..." She somehow managed to get out as she returned that gaze.
"Of what? That I might not like what I see?"
She swallowed hard, then nodded.
His quiet laughter sounded in her ears then, not a mocking laugh, but an amused one. "Pretty girl...I knew you would be different. I had no set expectations." His fingers still traced her plastron, familiarizing themselves with the feel of her. "It's who you are. Besides," he smiled at her "I kinda like it. It's so smooth... I bet you save a fortune by not having to buy bras..."
In spite of her fear, that was quickly being washed away, she let out a giggle. "Mine is built in."
She got that boyish grin from him before that mouth went to her body, tracing the outline of her plastron where it met her skin with his lips, and that contact made her breath hitch in her throat before another moan slipped out.
"So...that's the trick. The edges are sensitive."
"J-just...a l-little..."
"Interesting." His fingers joined his lips in their exploration and Lavi was finding it difficult to stand as her legs began to tremble.
She was finding it difficult to breath as his hands moved over her sides and towards the other tie at the bottom of her shirt, that ran along the bottom edge of her shell to hold the lower half in place. It was also untied and the whole thing fell, now ignored, to the ground. The next thing he undid was her weapons belt that was slung low over her hips, and her tonfas dropped to the ground. Then he knelt down in front of her and undid her pants and pulled them out of his way so he could continue his tracing path.
Lavi's fingers dug into his hair as his lips brushed her skin where her plastron met her thigh, a low cry ripped from her throat as her head tilted back. And she squirmed when he brought his hand up, searching, and found the slit. When those fingers began to probe curiously, she shuddered and her legs gave out on her.
He didn't even flinch as he guided her to the ground. "Not so different in that department." Came from the half smile on his lips. "Still very sensitive to the touch." He rubbed a teasing finger gently into that softer section of that slit and she shuddered again, this time with a louder moan. "And very well lubricated. Now...where is the-" He hit a spot in the front of her slit that made her arch violently with a cry. "Ah, found it. It seems, love, all your worries were for nothing. There is nothing here so drastically different that would keep me from wanting to make love to you. Now that we got that all sorted out...I guess we can stop now."
He really wasn't expecting the reaction he got from that, though he supposed he should have. Lavi went from laying squirming on her back to sitting up, then slamming her palms into his chest and forcing him on his back in a heartbeat.
"Don't even think about it." She growled out, her eyes hungry as she began undoing his belt, then yanked his pants open before pulling them out of her way. His boxers got the same rough treatment. He laughed at her eagerness, until he saw the genuine fear on her face as she looked at his hard flesh.
"Take your time Lavi."
That hunger came back into her eyes again as she looked at him. "I...can't..." came out in a shaky growling voice, even as she straddled him. "Can't...control..."
"Then don't love. This is something that doesn't need to be controlled if both are willing. Let that side out, maybe it won't eat at you so hard if you do."
"Kyle...I..." Her body shook as she tried to resist that primal call, but his eyes never left hers, never showed anything but how deep his feelings for her had become.
With a low growl she forced herself down onto him. There was a moan of pain that came from her and he quickly sat up and held her to him as her body still shook. "Easy. That first time is always a little hard."
She just nodded and held onto him as he calmed her. "Now, whenever you are ready, take it slow. Let your body get used to it. Soon enough you won't even feel the pain anymore." She was moving against him before he even finished that statement.
Lavi never felt anything like this before. To feel him inside of her, deep inside of her, caused waves of pleasure unlike anything she ever experienced. She let her primal side guide her as she rode him, those strong arms of his holding her close. Her mouth closed over his in a kiss as her hands again wrapped in his hair. The growls that came from her began to turn into pleasure filled moans with his soft touches. The beast was being tamed, and the young turtle began to enjoy the feelings that were now more pleasure than animalistic need.
"That's it Lavi..." Kyle panted out, his own face twisted with the pleasure she was giving him. "Relax into it... God, love...you feel so good..."
Those words pushed her on and she began to feel something more, something she couldn't explain. "Kyle...I...I..." Her head flew back. "Kyle!"
"Let it carry you turtle dove, give into it."
Kyle felt that she did. She clamped down hard, harder than any partner he had ever been with before has. Her petite frame again hiding the large amount of strength in those muscles. This was a first for him, the sheer pressure of her intensified his own orgasm and his cry rang out with hers in the dark night. Both bodies shuddering violently in the last throes of passion until neither of them had the strength to hold themselves up any more. He held her close to him as they laid there on the ground, their heavy breathing struggling to slow.
It was Lavi who moved first, her head shooting up from his chest as she looked at him with wide eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"You...you called me...love..."
He gave her another amused smile. She was such a delight to him, so fierce and yet also so innocent in a lot of ways. "Of course I did silly. Because I love you."
"Oh...Kyle..." He was honestly wondering how in the world she found the strength to kiss him like that. Then she added bashfully and eyes lowered. "I think I love you too..."
"You think?" His eyebrow came up. "We just went through all of that and all i get is an 'I think'?
"I love you." She said in a firmer voice, blushing a little.
"Well then, I'd say the pet name is a well chosen one." He kissed her forehead.
'Sis, I'm happy for you and all but we seriously need to have a talk about closing certain mental doors...'
Lavi groaned and blushed even more with embarrassment. Go fucking figure...she forgot to shut Ty out...
