Is This Just A Crush? (Rae)

[Raelena St. John]

"Tain't pity, will ye..." Rae sighed in frustration. Maybe she should just take Eve and leave her. It would be so much easier. This was just hard. Almost too hard. Really, was it even worth it? Rae could so get what she needed without dealing with all this emotional baggage.

Then those hot tears drove down Eve's chest. Rae was just close enough that the first one nearly wet her own cheek. It caught her by surprise, and the lycan gaped at the moisture.

"F**k..." she muttered in amazement. Before she could react further, she found her arms full of Eve. She could barely react, still stunned by this. This from Eve. Eve yelled and screamed and flailed. Eve did not throw herself at Rae, crying. The sheer shock momentarily paralyzed the lycan.

But then Rae reacted.

She remembered what to do when a girl cried in your lap. Remembered what you said, how you said it. Her arms encircled Eve, her hands brushing her hair. Leaning over, Rae gently pressed her lips to a tear, eliminating the moisture. Immediately she took another one, tasting the salt between her lips.

"Ye ain't used tae it, are ye?" asked Rae, her voice soft. "Ye tain't used tae holdin' someone, an' kennin' tha' they care aboot ye. Tha' ye care aboot them."

Rae kissed away another tear. "Eve, I promise ye, I care aboot ye. I disnae ken m'feelings tha' well, but I ken tha' much. So keep cryin', lass, an' I'll keep catchin' them."

Rae ran her thumb over Eve's hair, brushing it to the side. Smiling, she leaned in and kissed away yet another tear. Her lips moved down, touching the edge of Eve's, where they stopped. Rae looked into Eve's eyes.

"Cry. I'm still goin' tae be here when ye done."

[Eve Stone]

As Eve cried like she hadn't done since she was extremely young she just held on. Held on and cried, shook, and sobbed. Chest heaving she raised her body a bit off of Rae's her eyes red in a non-I'll kill you with my bare hands way. They were red like any normal person who'd been crying.

"Thank you..."Head bowing she pushed herself up so that a hand was on either side of Rae's lap. "I've never gotten-never goten this close before. They-they've always left."

No man wanted a woman stronger than him, more manly than him, or one who was so fierce. Most girls were afraid of her, even the war dragons. She came from a rather fierce village. No one got close to her, and she didn't close to anyone. Not romantically. Rae was the first one to stick around for more than the first date.

Eve sniffled and whiped at her face with the back of her hand her chest caught in half choking sobs and hiccups. But the tears were slowly almost to a stop. Only a war dragon could sob without tears. Finally all that was left was hiccups and she lifted her head again her eyes like clouds right after a storm.

"Kiss me." It would all she'd give Rae that one command. It was up to Rae what she took out of it. Eve felt weak and empty after the sobbing and she wanted something to make that emptiness go away. The only one she could think of at the moment was Rae, and she hoped that the girl would take the offer.

[Raelena St. John]

Through the hiccuping fit, Rae held Eve. the lycan tried to get each tear, either wiping it with her fingers or kissing it away. Of course, this left her lips quite damp, and her fingers as well. Even with her efforts, tears had soaked her shirt as well.

Bloody hell... do I really want this?

"Figured," Rae managed, smiling. Of course Eve hadn't gotten this close. Someone as abrasive as her? No one wanted to be with someone like that. Not unless the girl forced it. Rae had to have been one of the people closest to Eve in the world. And she knew it.

Kiss her.

Rae reached a hand up, gently cupping the side of Eve's face. Once more her thumb encircled the cheek, rubbing away bits of moisture. Then Rae leaned forward, gently pressing her lips against Eve's.

Rae knew how to kiss.

Years of practice on various girls had left Rae one of the best kissers you'd ever meet. Particularly when kissing other females. Her talented lips knew just how to coax a reaction from someone else. Her skill could entice a woman, charm the pants right off them.

This wasn't one of those kisses.

Rae felt for Eve, and not just with her hormones. The lycan tried to communicate that feeling through her lips. To somehow pass that knowledge along. As a result, the kiss was tender, loving. The best possible kiss you could get from a lover.

Eve felt empty. Rae would try to fill that, if she could. Or at least help.

[Eve Stone]

Her eye's felt like they were full of wet sand but each kiss on her cheek, each stroke of the thumb helped. It was another drop to fill her. Each touch wasn't much but it was another drop and it felt like it was pooling deep in her gut. One thing kept running through her mind, and only one thing now. Finally her brain wasn't chaos.

She stayed.

Lips meeting lips Eve's eyes closed and she lifted a hand halfway to Rae. The longer the kiss went the closer her hand got to actually touching the other girl's arm. Eve started kissing back, really kissing back, and started pushing a bit urging Rae. Begging her with her lips to not stop. At one point Eve even let a little sound out as she pushed.

Her hovering hand abandoned the trip to the arm and just slipped right onto Rae's thigh. When this happen Eve pushed herself forward not really thinking anymore. That one step, that one inch given seemed to open a floodgate within her. Her hand started to slip right on up that thigh and the other lifted to slip around Rae's waist.

As they kissed the moisture from it moistened the dried blood from her biting it earlier. The taste caused her to take a sharp intake of breath and pull away slightly. She felt dizzy and her skin was on fire. Was this what Rae felt when she asked for sex all the time? If it was she'd been so cruel to deny her, to sooth this fire. Eve opened her eyes and through them Rae would see that Eve felt it, the it that lead people to go that last step. She felt the fire and she liked it.

[Raelena St. John]

The plan had not been to seduce Eve.

Yes, that was a regular thought that bounced about within Rae's mind. she wasn't lieing when she told her girlfriend that from their first meeting she'd been scheming to get the other girl into her bed. Now, however, Rae was getting closer to that then she ever had before. More so, this was a first time that wouldn't be full of regret. They'd cried, they'd talked, and they'd kissed tenderly. Rae's bed was just a few steps away.

It was nearly perfect.

Rae parted lips with Eve, taking a few sucking breaths of air. Her eyes bore into Eve's, reading the message there. Rae barely caught her breath before diving in again, kissing her girlfriend.

Kissing her girlfriend.

Eve kissed Rae back, and just that fact alone aroused Rae. The actual kissing simply tossed fuel on the fire, building smoldering embers into a flame. Rae's hands slid around Eve's waist, feeling her hard curves, sliding over her body.

Rae parted, gasping, and looked Eve in the eyes. Rae had to do this next part. She always did. Always. Even now, when she didn't want to.

"Eve... if we keep goin'..." Rae sucked in a breath, licking her lips, "if'n we keep goin', I tain't goin' ta be able tae stop. I'm goin' tae love ye."

She moved her hand up to Eve's hair again. Rae shifted, licking her lips. How she wanted nothing more then to start kissing again. "Eve, I want tae be ye first. Ye ken tha'. But ye have tae decide if'n ye want me tae be. Ye need tae be able tae wake up in m'bed tomorrow an' feel tha' ye chose right."

Rae leaned forward, lightly kissing Eve's lips. Barely a brush. She then looked Eve in the eye.

And waited.

[Eve Stone]

The kissing, the hands, the looks Rae was giving her was pushing her over the edge.. Eve wasn't some innocent angel, she had done some stuff with people before. She'd felt tastes of this burning desire burning through her now, but this was nothing like those past times. It was almost an all consuming fire burning through her now. Only a girl could go from bawling her eyes out to wanting to throw herself at Rae for once.

When Rae pulled away for a second time gasping Eve grinned. Her words that came next however left her frozen. Her heart jumped into her throat, and her mouth glued itself shut. She looked down and her mind started functioning again. She'd been riding her emotions, something she did often but only on rage. Rae had stopped them.

"Yeah...I...wasn't thinking." Eve had wanted to, she had wanted to do everything with Rae. Rae pointing it out made her stop and think. In the morning after Eve would have freaked most likely and ran. She would have ran hard, and far. Her chest was still going pretty fast from the kissing and her skin still burned.

"You won't stop." Making out wasn't an option with Rae it was either all or nothing. Eve finally pulled back her hands dropping to her lap. Going back to sit on her heels she stared down at her cupped hands. It was like a child getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar. She wanted to, oh how badly she wanted to. Was it really having sex though with girls? It was more like a lot of foreplay, right? Confused she just stared at her hands feeling horrible. First she bawled and now she stopped.

"I'm sorry, Rae. The least I could do to pay you back for dealing with all my sh*t is go that last step with you." Why had Rae stopped them? Because she was much smarter than Eve apparently. "I want to, I do, but...I- you know my stand."

She whispered still staring at her hands. After this Eve wouldn't blame Rae if she broke it off. She deserved it after this stunt.

[Raelena St. John]

"Nae.... naenaenaenae," Rae shook her head, still stroking Eve's face. "Ye disnae need tae do tha'. Ye disnae have tae make oop fir anythin', lass. Tis ye, an' tha's wha' I like."

Leaning forward, Rae gently kissed Eve's lips again, snaking her hands around Eve's waist, holding the girl. Could she stop? Could they just... make out? This was nice. The kissing. Especially the way Eve kissed. But now Rae knew she couldn't take it all the way with Eve. Not while the other thought she owed it to Eve. That was far too precious a gift to give for that reason.

Breaking the kiss, Rae stroked Eve's hair. It fascinated her, really. She couldn't stop herself from doing it.

"Eve... I can stop, fir ye, I can pull off afore I get too riled oop," she said, smiling. "I want tae kiss ye, an' hold ye..."

Leaning forward, Rae pressed her forehead to Eve's. "Ne'er give oop ye innocence fir anyone 'cause ye owe 'em. Tain't righ'. Ye give yeself tae someone wha's won ye heart, lass. I willnae take it from ye if'n ye..."

Rae swallowed. "I care tae much aboot ye tae do tha' to ye. So..."

Rae gently kissed Eve again. "Let's jus' snog an' cuddle. I like this..."

[Eve Stone]

Eve's eyes went wide and lifted her head an inch or so to gaze at her from under her hair. She hadn't expected Rae to be quite so understanding, and the shock showed clearly on her face as she lifted it up completely.

"Rae, I...can't believe you're saying this." At Rae's touch at her waist her eyes closed momentarily and she smiled. With each kiss her smile got bigger, and by the last one she laughed kissing Rae back.

"Let's." Eve leaned forward her lips finding Rae's but this time she was hesitant. Her hand lifted tenitively to touch the lycan's soft cheek, her fingertips barely touching the flesh. "Mind if we get off of the floor?"

She pulled back enough to whisper this her eyes opening. The couch, a bed, whichever was fine with her. Even the floor was alright, but it wasn't very soft. For a dragon with tough skin she tended to like softer cushy things more.

[Raelena St. John]

The kisses were wonderful. Especially when Rae wasn't stealing them from Eve. When she wasn't jumping or surprise the dragoness. No, these given kisses were just so much better.

Smiling, Rae slid her arms down, cupping them on Eve's upper thighs. The lycan then slid backwards, and then lifted them onto a nearby couch; still keeping Eve straddling her. She chuckled a bit, then kissed Eve again.

Rae rubbed her hands over Eve's waist, working beneath the shirt to trace the skin. Doubtless she could feel scars under there, as Eve surely didn't live the type of life that wouldn't leave those. They actually just incited Rae further though. After all, the lycan had a few herself.

Again Rae held Eve close, smiling at her. "I keep tellin' ye, I like ye, ye bloody idjit. An' I do remember wha' it's like tae be th' blushin' virgin wit' th' sexy girlfriend. Jus' been a while, so I forget..."

Rae chuckled, reaching up to brush away hair. "Some thin's I disnae forget, an' I even practice 'em. Like this."

Leaning in, Rae kissed Eve again. This time, it wasn't quite the playful little pecks. No, Rae began working her lips now, utilizing her practiced skill. She even parted her lips slightly, attempting to get her tongue involved.

Rae clearly remembered how to take a girl's breath away.

[Eve Stone]

At the idjit comment she growled pushing at Rae with her eyes flashing in anger. The next comment however brought the cool to her spurt of negative emotions. She even crack a smile and laughed a bit.

"I can't picture you as a blushing virgin." She paused thought about it and shook her head laughing. "Nope, can't do it."

Now stradling Rae on the couch she scooted in closing enjoying the contact. The touch under the shirt had her heart jumping. That fire started right up again and her hands went to Rae's waist. But now that she was consciously doing things she shook a bit nervous, and not at all sure of herself.

As the kiss progressed her hands and body pressed against Rae her eyes closing with a moan into Rae's mouth. It was just cuddling and making out. Nothing more. She could handle that much surely.

[Raelena St. John]

They were actually making out.

Part of Rae hadn't ever expected to make it this far with Eve Stone. The harda** girl who'd stalked into her bar and proceeded to kick Rae's a** and wreck the place. Then Rae had tricked her into a date. Then another. All the while they got to know each other.

Now Rae was working her tongue in Eve's mouth, rubbing her body and listening to the moans.

Rae broke, panting for breath. "Aye... I used tae be shy. Twas a while ago, an' it didnae suit me. I still like..."

She grinned, "I still like dominatin' lasses."

Rae's hands trailed along Eve's waist, and she let one slide out, running down the other's arm. The fingertips trailed up to stroke Eve's face, and Rae smiled again. "Disnae worry, lass, ye doin' fine."

Rae leaned in, pressing her lips to the hollow of Eve's throat, slowly working kisses around in earnest. The girl was skilled, and was determined to have Eve enjoy herself.

All night if need be...
