Chapter 12: Exposure
I wake up with Richard completely wrapped around me. I start to shift a bit and his arms tighten around me I giggle 'he is even protective in his sleep', I think to myself. My giggle wakes Richard up and he opens his ocean blue eyes as I turn around and lay on my back.
"Hi", I say.
"Hey", he says sleepily and lays his hand on my chest. I stroke his unruly hair and kiss the top of his head.
Richard smiles and kisses my stomach, "I love waking up next to you", he says.
"As do I", I say and I smile and continue stroking his hair enjoying our peaceful morning bliss.
After I get dressed I go downstairs to get some breakfast.
"Morning Miss Kori would you like some breakfast", Alfred says as I walk in the Kitchen.
"Morning Alfred and I would love some", I say and Alfred sits a plate in front of me. I eat the delicious breakfast that Alfred has cooked after I finish I go back upstairs to Richard room.
"Richard did you eat—" I stop abruptly as I stare at a fresh out the shower, completely naked Richard.
"Kori, what the hell?!" he yells and gets his towel to cover himself.
"Sorry I should have knocked", I say still staring at his glorious half-naked body. I blush even more at the thought of him naked.
Richard chuckles, "You probably should have but I'm glad you didn't… do like what you see?" he asks smugly.
'Hell yea!' I think to myself as I stare at Richard in only a towel.
Richard has a wicked grin on his face and continues to stare at me.
"I'll let you change", I say and shut the door.
'Damn he even looks sexy when he is naked' I think to myself. This was the first time I had seen Richard naked and it was a glorious sight. Contrary to what everyone thought Richard and I hadn't had sex yet. Although most people assumed we had based on Richard playboy past but the truth was we didn't. I wasn't emotional ready for sex in high school and Richard understood. When I dated Xavier we never really had a serious talk about sex. I think even then deep down inside me I knew then, that I was still in love with Richard.
Richard comes downstairs interrupting my thoughts. He comes over and kisses my cheek.
"Morning Gorgeous", he says and Alfred sets his breakfast on the table.
"Morning ", I say.
"What do you want to do today?" he asks.
"I have to be at work in an hour", I say.
"Shit I forgot, are you sure you want to go to work today what if it's not safe", Richard says worriedly.
"I'll be fine Richard", I say reassuring.
Bruce walks in the kitchen and sits at the table with us.
"Bruce", Richard says.
"Morning Mr. Wayne", I say politely.
"Morning", he says and starts eating his breakfast.
I suddenly feel uncomfortable, which I usually do when Bruce is around. I get up from the table.
"Well, I'm going to work, I'll see you later", I say and kiss Richard cheek.
"Bye Mr. Wayne", I mutter and leave the kitchen as fast as I can.
"Kori wait," Bruce says and I turn around and see he has followed me to the foyer.
"I insist that you take one of my bodyguards to work with you", he says.
"That won't be necessary ", I say.
"Please I insist, my son cares deeply for you and if anything would have happened to you, he would be devastated and I can't stand seeing my son in pain", he says.
"Oh, um ok", I say.
Bruce nods, "Good I'll have Jim meet you outside", he says and leaves.
I frown Bruce is very complex most of the time. One moment he is very cold and isolated and mean toward me the next he is letting me stay in his home and giving me a personal bodyguard. 'I knew he had a heart' I think to myself. Even though Bruce intimidates almost everyone he still cares about those who are close to him.
I go outside and see a very tall man waiting by my car dressed in a suit.
"Um hi are you Jim?" I asks.
"Yes Miss Anders", he says.
"Please call me Kori", I say.
"I prefer Miss Anders", he says politely.
"Umm Ok, shall we", I say.
He nods and we both get in the car. I give directions to my job and John drives. He doesn't say much and conducts himself in a professional way.
As we reach work Jim parks the car and we both go inside.
"Hey Kori, whoa! who's the tall fellow?" Mr. Light asks as we walk in.
"Umm, my cousin from Tamaran", I say and get my apron behind the counter.
"Oh ok, nice to meet you" he says to Jim and he nods.
Jim takes a seat at one of the table and begins reading a newspaper casually. I begin taking orders and making coffee like any other day. I start to think how long could this Xavier thing last? How long could Xavier hold a grudge? I shake my head not wanting to find out. I fix a cup of coffee and a sandwich and walk over to Jim's table.
"I um figured you'd be hungry", I say and put the plate down, "It's on the house and let me know if you need anything else", I say.
"Thank you Miss Kori", he says and I smile.
It's the end of my shift and I am exhausted. Jim drives us back to Wayne Manor. As I get out the car I thank him and walk up the stairs toward Wayne Manor.
"Good evening Miss Kori", Alfred says as I walk in.
"Hi Alfred", I greet him smile.
"Dinner will be ready at 7 Miss", Alfred says.
"Ok thanks, is Richard home?" I ask.
"No Miss Kori, but Master Dick and Master Wayne will be home before dinner", he says.
"Ok, thank you Alfred", I say.
"My pleasure Miss Kori", he says and leaves.
I go upstairs to Richard's room and kick off my shoes. I collapse of the bed exhausted. I find myself thinking about how I would normally be back in my dorm watching tv with Donna just like I did at home with my parents.
'My parents! I should call them and tell them what's going on' I think to myself.
I reach for my cell and call home.
"Kori! I'm so glad you called I was beginning to think you forgot about us!" My mom answers.
"Hi mom and no I didn't I have just been preoccupied that all" , I say.
"Sweetie what's wrong?" My mom asks.
I sigh my mom could always tell if there was something wrong with me.
"Its Xavier, I broke up with him and he attacked me", I say.
My mom is quiet at first, "That bastard! That's it I am coming down there-"my mom yells.
"No!" I interrupt, "Mom I am fine, I am staying at Richard's" I say.
"Richard?" My mom says surprised, "he's back?" she asks.
"yes, and well we are back together", I say.
My mom laughs, "Well that doesn't surprise me", she says.
I laugh, "That what everyone has said", I say.
"Why are you staying at his place?" My mom asks.
"Well um Xavier tried to burn down Richard car and Bruce instead we both stay at his place for our own protection" I say.
"Oh ok, well as long as you are safe sweetie", she says.
"I am mom, I be fine , tell dad and Ry I said hi" , I say.
"I will sweetie and call me if you need anything understand?" she asks.
"Yes mom, love you", I say.
"Love you too sweetie", She says.
I hang up the phone and feel a bit relieved now that I told my parents about the situation. I text Donna quickly to see if she is fine and she replies that she is and that she is on a date with Terry. I giggle and tell her to have fun. I am extremely tired from work and decide to take a warm hot bath to relax.
I fill Richard's spa tub with hot water and some bubble bath I packed in my bags. I use his iPod dock station to play some relaxing music. I take of my clothes and I gently ease myself into the tub and relax. The smell of the lavender bubble bath and the hot water begin to relax me as I close my eyes.
I hear the door open and I freeze, 'Shit I forgot to close the bathroom door' I think to myself.
"Kori are you? Oh um sorry I didn't mean to interrupt", Richard says and blushes at the sight of me in the tub.
"That's ok", I say and I suddenly feel a bit more confident in my next statement, "Would you like to join me?" I ask.
Richard blushes even more and I smile sweetly at him awaiting his answer.
"Um ok", he says.
He takes of his shoes and socks then unbuttons his shirt and takes off his suit pants.
"Those have to go too", I say referring to his boxers.
Richard blushes and takes a deep breath and takes off his boxers.
I gasp and blush as he at his now naked body and he grins at me and he gets in the tub on the opposite side.
"How was work?" he asks casually.
"Tiring, I had to work a double shift today", I sigh.
"That's sucks", Richard says. He then reaches in the water for one of my feet and begins massaging it.
"Hmm that feels good", I say and Richard grins.
"So how as your day?" I asks enjoying my foot massage.
"Busy as always", he says and picks up my other foot and starts massaging.
"Oh, have the police caught Xavier yet?" I ask.
"No, but they have a few leads they are investigating", he says, "I notice Bruce got you a bodyguard", he says.
"Yea, he said he didn't want anything to happen to me because he knows how much it would devastate you", I say.
"He's right you know", he says.
"What?" I ask.
"I love you so much Kori if anything happens to you Kori I don't-", Richard says but I interrupt.
"Richard nothing is going to happen to me, I promise", I say.
"I know but I can't help but worry", he says.
I giggle, "I know, your over protectiveness is cute sometimes", I say.
"You think I'm cute eh?" Richard says amused.
"Yes", I say and giggle.
Richard suddenly moves toward me in the tub and pulls me in my lap and I gasp as I feel his arousal against my thigh as he kisses my neck. I then move my head back down and kiss him passionately my lips greedily kissing him back as my hand grips his hair. A low growl forms in his throat and I release I want him now. Richard sensing my thoughts breaks away.
"Are you sure?" he asks.
"Yes", I answer and start kissing him again.
He pushes me away gently, "Not here", he says.
Richard then gets out of the tub and reaches for a towel. He dries himself off then reaches for another towel. I get out of the tub and Richard eyes widen and his pupils dilate. He then holds out the towel for me and I take it and dry myself off.
Richard then kisses me and then picks me up to his arms and carries me to the bedroom. And removes my towel and well let's just say we didn't make it to dinner since that night Richard Grayson and I made love.
