Chapter Ten
The Operation Save Raven continued on as I waited for a reply from Jason still. My heart felt as if I was going through a breakup, but I still tried to keep my mind at ease. Trying not to focus on it, I ran more every morning. Making my muscles ache. Working on my online classes, I was breezing through with straight As. It had almost become boring to me. However to have a promotion at work I would need the degree. Even if that meant being the low man kissing ass at the office.
Enjoying the option to work from home, drives me. Somedays I will sit at home reading for hours while being paid. Writing notes I spread out on the large cream colored sectional. The pent house is nice now that I have settled in. The large living room sits with a huge screen tv with cabinets underneath. The large cream colored sectional sits with a glass coffee table in it. A navy blue chair sits to the side with a lamp and an end table perfect for late night reading. The large kitchen has so many cabinets, with large stainless steel black appliances. A small hallway leads behind the kitchen with 2 smaller bedrooms and a bathroom. Behind the TV in the living room sits my master bedroom with a large walk in closet that I can barely fill one shelf with stuff. The large bathroom comes with a soaker tub and a glass door shower.
My favorite thing is the balcony overlooking the city. Dick was smart when he chose this one, easy to swing onto, not noticeable by others. As day 7 of Operation Save Raven rolls out my alarm is set normal and I'm allowed to sleep in another hour and a half. No gym today. Laying in my bed with the Saturday sun rising I focus my energy in my hands. It's easier coming now, and stays for the duration of my morning routine. I still feel the weakness of my energy, but it is so much stronger. Sitting up in bed I look around the room, it almost feels empty. I see the boxes of my belongings stacked. I haven't even been through them yet. Sitting it as my task for the day I get up and fumble my way to the shower. A slight pain forming on my right side. Assuming a torn muscle, I ignore it.
Streams of hot water cascade over me. My fingers linger as I lather my breasts with soap. Oh how I could use an orgasm right now. Thinking back to my last night with Jason I crave his fingers on my clit. Crave his breath on my neck. My hands run down my slender stomach, pressing into my folds. Slowly rubbing I ignite my clit. My eyes close and I start to think of how bad I want fingers on me. As I begin to think of Jason I trail off to a picture of Dick. Abruptly killing my mood. Sure imagining Dick isn't a bad thing. I would love to know what is under the spandex. However the confusion of these two brothers leaves my mood sour. The war in my head is intense when it comes to the two. Finishing my shower I step out in my towel, looking in the mirror. My heart screams for Dick. Screams for me to give into him and give him a shot. To not shelter my love. But things have been so easy with Jason. He doesn't know my whole back story and doesn't care either. My brain tells me to choose him. My heart yearns for them both. How could I ever choose between them.
Meeting with Doctor Thompkins, I've decided isn't so bad. But training your entire life to hide who you are and now to tear that down is hard. She seems to have good intentions, and knowing the bat family eases me. No judgement for the darkness, knowing the intention is well.
Dressing in a pair of ripped up skinny jeans and a black AC/DC shirt I feel cozy for the day. The gnawing pain in my side continues. My muscles ache from the thrusting of exercise after all these months. The most excercise I got was in the sheets with Jason. I smile looking to myself in the mirror thinking of our encounters.
Heading into my room i pick up a box the books stacked inside are heavy. An empty bookcase in the front room is the best place for them. I open my bedroom door carrying them out. My good mood shines through as I sit the box down, quickly organizing my books on the shelves.
"Hey" A voice echos behind me. I turn slightly seeing Dick. He stands in his new uniform. The black is dark and molded to his muscles. Hugging him in the right places. The blue starts on his chest, odly familiar with my soul selfs look. The blue runs down his arms to his fingers. The black mask sits firmly on his face, with his hair splayed across his forehead.
"You look kinda hot Dick." I smile standing from my box, walking to my bedroom with the blush. Sometimes I wish I had a good again to hide my face. I sit the next box on my bed as he follows me. His wall is up and I can't feel his emotion. I open the box as he walks close to me. "Since when did you smoke?" He picks up the pack of reds. Smiling I dig out the matching lighter. The zippo lights fast.
"Your brother keeps them here." I smile, "and this." I pulls out the bottle of whisky." He nods. "So how was the trip.?" I roll my eyes at his demeanor.
"Bruce sent me home. I pissed him off." He scoffs. I look down to the lighter and hesitate. "We don't know where he's at."
"Isn't that bad?" I look into his eyes.
"We've all went rogue a time or two. He'll make his way home. We have Bruce's training that will keep him safe." He assured me.
"Ah, yes. Batman Kids Camp where everyone gets a cape and daddy issues." I smirk.
"Quit smirking like that, it's erotic." He warns me.
"As erotic as your ass in that uniform?" I laugh. "Dick did they put extra padding for that cake or what?"
"I've been working out a lot since you left Rae. Building muscle and bulking." He laughs, "wanted to look good if I ever found you again." He grabs Jason's bottle of whisky admiring it.
"Oh so you kept the uniform on for me to see you today." I laugh pulling out the picture of the team. I turn placing it on my dresser.
"Maybe." He smiles, "you want our picture to watch you sleep?"
"You all watched me sleep before." I grab out my mirror.
"Oohh." He laughs, "so photo me has seen you naked."
"I suppose so." I smirk, "and screw your brother."
"Only because you couldn't have the real deal." He shoots me a crooked grin.
"Could If I wanted to." I glare at him.
"Want to?" He smirks.
"Maybe."
"Maybe sounds good" he steps forward, placing his hands on my hips he pulls me forward. His lips fall onto mine and the taste of coffee hits my lips. His soft plump lips kiss me deep and soft sending shock waves through my skin. His left hand on my remains, and his right one snakes up to my cheek, embracing the soft flesh with his glove. My fingertips touch the blue bird on his chest as I kiss him back. The feeling is amazing and the waves of Dick's love rolls into me like a sandy beach. He softly releases my lips, leaning his head onto my forehead. I smile as I lift my left hand up, grabbing his gloved hand. "I love you Rae." He breaths out.
"I love you too, Dick." I smile opening my eyes to his. "This is all I can give right now." I smile.
"It's all I want." He kisses my forehead.
"Alright, back to unpacking." I sigh.
"The place okay?" He strolls to the window looking out over the city.
"Yeah." I smile, "why you got something better?"
"Anything's better than your last place." He sighs.
"I need to go check on Ian to see if he's okay." I sit Jason's bottle and cigarettes on a shelf in my bedroom.
"His dad ended up in the ICU and died." Dick doesn't turn to me, he just stares out to the city.
"W-what?" I stare at him in shock.
"Jason's temper is deadly. Especially when it comes to women beaters." He sighs, "he's been fucking with Black Masks club since he pulled his shit on you too."
"Is Ian okay.?" I look at the framed photo of Jason and I. He took it Christmas Eve as we lay naked except for ugly Christmas sweaters. Nobody would know from the picture.
"Yeah, he was sent to live with an aunt who actually wanted him."
"I'm glad." I sit on the bed.
"Rae I'm not needed in Gotham, I'm moving to Bludhaven." He stares out the window.
"You're not needed or you need your own place." I stare at his structure.
He smirks looking over his shoulder at me, "you know me better than anyone else."
"It's taken years of practice." I smile lightly.
"How's Leslie?" He walks over sitting in the lounge chair in the corner, legs spread. Eyeing me up and down.
"She's nice." I sigh, "didn't know she was bat family affiliated." He nods. "Have you seen her?"
"Yeah." He continues to stare.
"Did Jason?" I hesitate.
"Yeah. He's still seeing her." He says honestly, "his anger is something he's working on."
"Why is he so angry?" I look at the picture of us. "He's never been that way to me, but I've felt it."
"You two don't talk much?" He raises a brow.
"Not about important shit." I snort. I hold my side as it still aches.
"You okay?" He notices.
"Just think I tore something." I smile trying to hide the pain. "When do you move?"
"I already have a place. I started patrol there last night."
"That's great." I smile. "So did you just come to check up on me or what?"
"Yeah Rae." He smiles, "I'm going to check in. Make sure you're okay. No matter what I'll always be here. Whether it's friend or whatever the future holds."
"Thanks." I look into the box as he shoots me a crooked grin.
Why do I feel my heart skip a beat when he does that? It sends shivers down my spine and makes me "swoon" over him. Such a gross word but true. I've missed his company more than I thought. It feels like home with him here. My heart doesn't feel so divided with him here.
Hey guys! Just wanted a chapter bonding these two back together.!! Hope you like it!
