Locked confessions

Raven gave a soft sigh. "I wasn't totally truthful about how I, or should I say we left." I didn't know what to say at the moment, but she seemed to take my curious stare as a motion to go on. "Kim could provide the power to juice the spell, but I needed another magical focus to aid in the incantation." This was getting weird. I sort of expected that she would say they left the west coast or something, it sounded like she believed that they where in another dimension. "Wait, are you saying you went that far?" Rae nodded sadly and gazed to the floor. "The three of us just wanted another life...." She gripped her arm softly. "Free from pre-conceived roles, from the stigma of 'Hero' and 'Villain'."

My chest hurt with the same pain I felt when she walked out of the store yesterday as she gave me a truly miserable look. "W-We just....wanted to be normal." I took what was the biggest risk I felt that I could ever take as I gently pulled her into my lap. The hug seemed to really surprise her as she froze for a second, but slowly she seemed to warm up to it. While Rae cuddled into my grip with a soft hum, my heart was pounding like a jackhammer. WHAT WAS I DOING!! I didn't know what to do, my brain was overruled by my heart and I acted on impulse. Oh god OH GOD! She just put her head on my shoulder! "R-Rae?"

My eyes bulged in their sockets as she gently nuzzled into the crook of my neck. "Thank you Johnny. You make me feel like Rachel Roth, not 'Raven'." My teeth where chattering and my mouth felt like sand, but I managed to **** out a whisper to acknowledge her. "Y-Your welcome Rae....I....I would do anything for you." My heart stopped cold as she pulled away. I blew it! I was so close but I....Her kiss was gentle, and a little bit clumsy, but so full of love that it burned. I kissed her back as best as I could. It became more and more intense as I felt her press her body against my own, but when she put her hand on my cheek, and I felt her tongue lick my lower lip ever so slightly, I could have died a happy man.

Our tongues touched and hesitantly began to explore each other. She began to softly moan a my hands caressed her silky soft skin not covered by her leotard. "R-Rae? W-What? does this?" I couldn't think, let alone speak in cohesive sentences as we broke for breath after a blissfully unknown amount of time. "John, I'm not someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, but I do have feelings." Her intense gaze had me transfixed, but I still felt her cup my chin. "John I, when I first met you, I thought you where a wimpy, lonely geek." Ouch! Geeze, did she have to be so brutal? "But then I got to know you, your a sweet, sensitive and wonderful man....and...." She leaned down again and gently kissed the tip of my nose. "I love you."

It was like Christmas morning! My heart was so full of joy it could burst! SHE LOVED ME! But wait! What the heck? I looked down and saw her fiddling with the hem of my belt. "R-RAVEN!? W-WHAT THE!" She silenced my shocked outcry by kissing my hard and fast. "It's a long story but, to sum it up, Kim, Jenny and I made a pact." The sound of my zipper slowly being pulled down sounded like it was being amplified by a concert level speaker in the previously quiet room. "We wouldn't let anyone use us again. ever!" She kissed me again and I felt her grip my pants and start to tug down. "But, if we truly found one guy, that loved us for who we ARE, and not WHAT we are~" She gave me a VERY un Raven like smile as it seemed to grow long and ever so slightly sinister. "We'd share him."

I hid my face under my hands as she gently gripped my hardening shaft through the loose and breezy silk boxers. "But...But..." I felt her feather soft locks gently brush against my cheek as she nipped the edge of my ear. "Don't worry Johnny~ Tonight's just going to be....YOU" She gently poked me in the center of my chest. "And me~"
