"Shall we go?" Asked Ralph with a faint smile playing on his lips. Raven nodded and followed him out of his room, acutely aware of the marks that he had given her. What would granny and Jane think? The table was laid out and granny and Jane were giggling away when they reached the dining room. Ralph turned and placed his hand on the small of her back and led her to a chair, drawing it out for her. Raven thanked him and sat down with him beside her. Granny and Jane had smug expressions on their faces.
"Why don't you try the crab croquettes, Raven. Jane makes them really good," suggested granny.
"Yes, granny, I'll taste everything, " she said, helping herself to the food.
"So, did Roo propose yet?" Asked granny with a grin.
"Yes, I have granny, " lied Ralph with so much ease that Raven forgot to chew the food in her mouth. Why did he have to lie? She was okay being just a girlfriend.
"Raven
Ralph lay frozen, his condition was like a lion who was hypnotized by its prey. That creamy bare leg robbed him of his senses. His hand itched to caress its creamy length but he was scared that it would awaken her and she would run for the hills. Raven breathed out through her soft parted lips and scooted close to him in her sleep, snuggling into his bare chest, her hand going around his torso. Ralph lost his control. His arm went around her waist and he pulled her closer. His glance went to her soft breasts exposed through the open buttons of the shirt. She had discarded her bra and the first two open buttons robbed off any hopes of sleep. His breath hitched seeing the rounded, curvy orbs, inviting him to suck them to hardened peaks."Oh, Raven, you're driving me insane," he said, closing his eyes at last. If he wouldn't see her, at
Raven went downstairs, ready to leave. She would go home after having her coffee. She saw a strangely happy Ralph sitting at the kitchen stool with a chirpy Jane, laughing away, "I'll think of something, don't worry Jane. First let me talk to those two," said Ralph with a chuckle.What were they talking about? Thought Raven. She went to get her coffee. "Good morning, Jane, " she greeted her. Immediately their attention turned towards her. Jane smiled."Good morning, Raven, " she answered, as she prepared the batter for pancakes."Do you need help?" Offered Raven trying to distract herself from Ralph's unwavering, hot gaze burning into her, taking in her body. Her brea*ts tingled with awareness and to her dismay, her ni*ples hardened to taut peaks making them clearly visible through the soft top. Oh how much she needed her bra now! She regretted having discarded it. Wearing a dirty one was better than having his eyes glued onto them.
"Surprise, " Raven's entire group of friends chorused seeing the surprised expression on her face."What are you'll doing here?" She asked, going towards them. They all hugged her one by one."We were missing you so we've joined the weekend classes like you," said Sabrina with a giggle."How? Have you all joined work?" Asked Raven with confusion."Yep but not with a hot boss like you though," said Mary Ann, with a jealous expression on her face.Raven groaned. "So, how's life with the one and only Van Halen?" Asked Kate."Just don't ask," groaned Raven as she plopped down beside Kate."That hot, huh?" Asked Sabrina."No wonder she forgot us," said Richard, sitting behind her."I don't know what you'll are
After much worrying, Raven dozed off to sleep. Ralph lay still waiting for her to relax. Soon he heard her steady breathing realizing that she might have fallen asleep already. He slowly turned to face her and saw that she had covered herself completely from head to toe. He slowly pulled the cover off her face. She pushed it to her waist in her sleep and he groaned seeing the soft rise and fall of her breasts, the thin top clinging to them, outlining them clearly, exposing the creamy soft swell as the neckline dipped a little. His friend down there stirred to life but this time he didn't mind at all. He smiled at his pathetic state. How had he become so creepy? Watching a sleeping girl eight years younger than him and getting hard just by watching her was something which he couldn't relate to. Yet this was his hard reality. Maybe if he got a chance to make love to her, he would feel better and get rid of this ridiculous attraction that was drawing him to her. When his eyes
Ralph stormed out of the apartment and Raven followed him out. He closed the door shut after her and walked off towards the elevator. As they emerged from the elevator, she saw a huge crowd outside the main gates of the building."What the fu*k!" Swore Ralph with clenched teeth. Then he turned to Raven. "The reporters are here. Don't panic and don't open your mouth," he told her impatiently. Raven nodded with frightened eyes. She had already started panicking. What did the reporters want now?Ralph placed his arm around her and guided her outside the building. He needed to make a quick dash to his car with Raven. The moment he went out, the reporters started fighting for his attention."Mr. Van Halen, tell us something about the stolen designs, please," said one of them."The case is solve
Raven was startled out of her senses. She clasped onto her chest and whirled around to see him quietly leaning against the door to her room."Oh, Ralph. You scared me," she whispered. Ralph walked into the room, slowly approaching her bed where she sat. He came to a stop just in front of her, looking down at her with eyes full of desire. She lowered her eyes and looked at her hands, acutely aware of his hot gaze upon her. Ralph's warm fingers touched her chin and compelled her to look up at him."Are you scared of me?" He asked her, scanning her face minutely."No, o-of course not," she told him but he didn't look convinced enough."Then why do you jump every timeI'm near you?" He asked, still staring at her."I don't, " she lied to him, her heart beating so fast that she was afraid that he could hear it."Liar," he said softly. "I punish those who lie to me," he thr
Raven nodded quietly. Wasn't she doing the same thing? Raven's face paled as she watched the scenes passing by the car window. She couldn't help with the internship but she wouldn't stay at his apartment anymore. She didn't want to fall into the category of women who wanted to take advantage of him. In fact, she wanted to tell his granny and call off her fake relationship with him.Ralph was amazed at himself that he told her about his parents. He never talked about his personal life with anyone. He usually had his fun and left but Raven drew it out of him and he had no clue why he told her. He stole a glance at her sweet, innocent face, so deep in thought. A tremor of excitement coursed through his veins as he thought about the next few days that he would get to spend with her.They reached the waterfront cottage and Raven forgot her worries. She stared at the beautiful house with a private boat dock & a platform to sunbathe on. Ralph
Raven decided to hang onthe other side of the bed and sleep in the room to avoid any drama. Without glancing at Ralph's hot body, she climbed onto the bed and lay with her back to him, hanging on the edge. She closed her eyes shut and prayed that he would just go off to sleep."Why are you avoiding me, Raven?" He asked her in a low, raspy tone laden with desire which caused Raven to shudder. She shook her head."I'm not avoiding you. Good night, Ralph, " she whispered back. There was a pin-dropped silence as Raven waited for his response. Nothing. She released the breath that she was holding."Look at me and say that," he said as if begging her."Go to sleep, Ralph, " she told him.His strong arms scooped her and brought her close to him, almost nose to nose as his hot gaze delved deep into her soul. With his arms wrapped around her like steel bands, escape was almost impossible.&nbs
