Day 5 - Summer
The warm rays of sunshine were delightful as they tickled her skin; the tropical atmosphere one to revel in. Birds were chirping, the sound of the waves crashing into the shore was music to her ears and the feeling of utter relaxation was some kind of wonderful.
Starfire sighed in content as she sat back on the large boulder situated at the water's edge with a bunch of smaller, clustered rocks. She was happy she'd opted for wearing the lavender bikini she had picked up whilst shopping with Raven the previous week.
The more skin that was exposed meant more energy for Starfire to take in. This kind of weather was rejuvenation at it's finest. She could eat as much sunlight as she needed without even trying.
Tamaran had always been humid and sweltering; more than any climate she'd experienced on Earth but she found her new home's warm weather was much more enjoyable. There was always a breeze to carry both the warmth and a chilly gust of wind to balance out the temperature.
It was the middle of August so the weather was simply glorious, in her opinion. Of course, her friends were not all fans of such high levels of heat but that was because they were simply not used to it like she was.
Beast Boy was the main culprit. When he'd been sitting inside, he could not cease complaining only really taking a break when Raven smacked him across the back of the head with a black claw.
Starfire did not think Raven was very fond of the heat either.
Cyborg and Robin were… tolerable of the summer heat. They didn't moan about it but it was clear they would rather the Fahrenheit be dialled down a bit.
"Hey Rae! Aren't you gonna come in the water?" Beast Boy yelled from where he was treading water,
"No." Came the empath's stony reply from behind her book,
"C'monnn! You must be boiling!"
"Nope, I'm comfortable."
"Oh, really?" Beast Boy smirked,
Starfire's eyes snapped open at the sound of a shrill yelp that quickly turned into a growl. She looked over and saw that Raven was drenched with seawater and her book had gotten the brunt of it. Beast Boy really had to learn when to splash people and when to not.
This was, Starfire firmly believed, a when to not moment.
Raven threw her book down and scowled at her boyfriend as she drifted closer. She gave him a menacing smirk, "My turn."
"Oh shit." Beast Boy squeaked for diving beneath the surface to escape her wrath.
Starfire bit her lip and smiled; Raven was angry there was no doubt about that but the alien was certain once she got some justified revenge on her lover, she would feel much better.
She turned her head to where her own boyfriend was, playing volleyball with Cyborg over on the soft sand. They were lucky they had such a beach environment at the base of their beloved tower. It made these types of days so much easier to experience.
The Princess let her eyes roam over her lover's body; another reason she was so fond of summer was because she got to see Robin in less clothing which of course, she as entitled to stare at now.
His muscles were so defined and chiselled and his overall stature was one that required appreciation. He was dedicated to his training and it showed from his beyond perfect assets.
Starfire shivered as her eyes dropped and her cheeks flushed. He was, needless to say, very handsome and she felt pride swell within her at the knowledge this boy was all hers.
"Feeling recharged yet?"
She flinched at the sound of his voice. He enjoyed doing that to her; using his stealthy abilities against her. Starfire hadn't even heard him making his way over to her.
"Mmm, very much so. Your sun is much more fulfilling than the red suns of Tamaran." Starfire cooed, breathing in the sunlight.
He hummed a noise of agreement but did not respond otherwise. Starfire peeked open an eye to see him ogling her own attire for their beach day. She knew him well enough that, even with his mask on, she knew where his eyes were focused.
"Something is distracting you, Robin?" She purred,
Robin chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Maybe just a little."
"So, you approve of my new swimwear, yes?" She replied, sitting up and twisting a little to show herself off to him,
He moved to stand before her, his bare hands gliding up the outside of her thighs, "Oh, yes. Not for a public beach of course, but definitely for here."
Starfire giggled and touched his cheek. Robin mirrored her actions by cupping her cheek and bringing her down for a kiss. He'd been aiming for a short and sweet kiss but it turned into something else entirely, of its own accord.
They broke away, panting a little. Perhaps it was the heat that had them seemingly so passionately riled.
"I wish for ice cream." Starfire chirped,
Robin raised an eyebrow at her random request but shrugged and stood back, offering her a hand to get down from the boulder,
"Sounds good. I think we have a couple different flavoured tubs in the kitchen." Robin returned, walking hand in hand towards the tower.
As they reached the kitchen, Robin sighed at the overwhelming heat in the room.
"Let's hope this heat hasn't penetrated the freezer and melted the ice cream, " He grumbled, using his free hand to fan his face,
"One day, I shall have to bring you all to Tamaran during the hottest seasons and then you shall see what true heat is."
Robin rolled his eyes playfully and released her hand long enough to grab the strawberry ice cream out of the freezer and start making their cones up. After completeing his ice cream, he reached for the mint choc chip.
"Star, could you hold mine whilst I make yours?" He asked,
Starfire nodded and took the cone from him, noticing the ice cream was already beginning to go soft. In mere seconds, the ice cream was dribbling down the side of the cone and over Starfire's skin.
"Um, Robin… might I suggest you hurry with preparing my ice cream?"
Robin stabbed the spoon at the ice cream, "I can't yet; it's not softened enough yet. Why, what-"
He found himself speechless and somewhat warmer than he had been moments beforehand. Starfire had her eyes closed and was licking the icecream from her hand, her lips glistening with the sticky treat.
There was something about that simple action that caused him to think like the hormonal teenage boy he was. Part of Starfire's sexual appeal was the fact she didn't do things to intentionally set him off; she just did.
Her tongue traced the trail of ice-cream that had dripped down the side of the cone. She swirled her tongue over the scoop of strawberry sweetness, trying to solidify the treat a little more.
But, his girl was rather sneaky and clever once she copped onto his thoughts.
She peered up at him through her eyelashes, her mouth continually moving over the melting ice cream. Feeling cheeky, she caught his eye and maintained the eye contact whilst she dragged her tongue from the bottom of the cone to the very top, lightly slurping at the stuff.
"Mm… delicious." Starfire whispered, a wicked gleam in her eye,
Robin stared at her, his throat refusing to work, "Uhh…"
Starfire smirked at her achievement. She was fairly certain she had broken Robin's brain with her little display.
Feeling confident, Starfire floated off of the counter where she had been sat and swayed her hips as she crossed the distance to him. She had his back against the freezer, her face mere inches from his, holding the ice cream between them.
"Robin… it is making a mess all over my skin… perhaps I should take a shower? I must wash the salt out of my hair, afterall…" She whispered, her voice husky and designed to entice him,
He knocked the ice-cream to the floor, splattering it over both of them and gripped her thighs, hoisting her off of her feet. She giggled as he took her mouth with his, nipping at her lips before sucking and soothing the soft skin of them.
Starfire felt a quiver in her abdomen as she felt him push against her. He was eager for her and all she had done is eat ice cream. It was times such as these when she felt truly empowered by Robin's feelings for her.
He broke away, his breathing harsh, "You're evil, you know that?"
She glanced at their legs which were dotted with strawberry ice cream, "I believe we both must shower now, my love."
Robin couldn't get her out of the room fast enough. The ice cream was supposed to cool them down but had failed. He briefly wondered if the shower would do it and then decided, probably not.
