Chapter 4-
\t“Okay, we should start heading back now.” Leo ordered his group of brothers. Rising back to his feet from the edge of the rooftop they sat on. The view of the police arresting the remains of the Purple Dragon gang just below them. Not one man had gone unscathed. Sporting cuts, bruises, and stabs anywhere, everywhere. Yellow police tape had surrounded the crime scene. The windows of the Jewelry store they had robbed now shattered. Shards of glass and pieces of expensive items littered the ground. The red and blue lights winking off the fragments. Sparkling against the dark structures.
\tA crowd had formed. The commotion attracting the attention of passerby’s. News of the scene must have traveled quickly cause media trucks started pulling up. News woman and camera men joining the fray. It was becoming a noisy ruckus now. Time to go.
\tThe three turtles popped up from their spot as soon as the words left Leo’s lips. Mikey stretched and yawned. “That took longer than it should have.”
\tRaph rolled his eyes. “Maybe it would have been quicker if you hadn’t kept getting distracted by the shiny objects.”
\tMikey frowned. His arms falling to his sides. Slumping. “Can’t help it dude. No one ever throws away shiny things. Even our butter knives aren’t as stainless steel as they make them out to be.”
\t“Maybe if don’t leave them soaking in water for long periods of time, they wouldn’t become so rusty.” Don pointed out. Earning a tongue in his direction.
\t“Guy’s!” Leo snapped. Tossing a warning glare at the three that promised great pain in their future if they didn’t shut their traps. They did. Exchanging looks amongst themselves. “Do you really want to get caught? We’re ninjas. We don’t talk loud.”
\t“We could hardly be heard over the crowds Leo. Nothing to worry about.” Don said. His voice quieter and almost inaudible with the said crowd beneath them. It wasn’t unusual for Leo to snap them back into place if their rough housing got out of control but they hardly had anything to worry about with the human’s attentions glued onto the excitement.
\t“That’s not the point.” Leo grounded his teeth together. A muscle ticking under his jaw. Anger flaring up into the typically cool sapphire orbs. “Look, we’re ninja’s, right? We’re supposed to act like it when we’re topside. Even when it’s not necessary.” Leo’s hands balled into white knuckled fists as his brothers gaped at him in bewilderment. As if he was speaking another language.
\t“Leo, are you okay bro? You don’t normally get this hot this fast.”
\tCalm down. You’re okay. “I’m fine Mikey. Really.” Leo insisted. Waving away the situation. The three were grating on his nerves. His patients running thin and melting away every time they opened their mouths. They could not be serious for one second unless their life was at stake! They constantly teased and joked as if the world was theirs. As if humans didn’t dominate this world and didn’t see them as monsters in their eyes. How could they be so peppy? It was annoying. He gave them an order and they would insist he was dampening the mood. Like he wasn’t their leader and this wasn’t night patrol.
\tLeo switched his gaze to the streets four stories down. The media had shoved their way passed the crowd of citizens and pressed as far into the crime scene as the police tape allowed. Their cameras flashing erratically. Capturing every corner of the crime they could get before one of the officers shoved them back.
\tThree Cops walked into the store. Followed by a detective. Two paramedics. And a forensic photographer. The Jewelry store owner close on their heels, wringing his hands anxiously. It would only be a matter of time before the police would start making their way from door to door asking questions.
\t“Alright, time to go. They’re searching the building.”
\tHe swallowed down a sigh of relief as all of them nodded without protests. He just preferred to get this night over and done with so he could curl up under his covers and fall asleep for hours. Only problem was, as soon as they got home he couldn’t automatically do that. Stupid him had decided to arrange a date with Raphael. For your job sake.
\tHe followed along behind them as they flew across the rooftops so easily. As if the cement ground was a trampoline and they had wings. They jumped so high and so far. Cutting through the air as smoothly as a hot knife through butter. The wind just carrying them. Caressing his skin like a lover’s touch.
\tHis blissful buzz was abruptly killed when he felt a vibration on his side. Nearly tripping over his feet as he stumbled to a stop. He groped the t-phone from his back pocket. Pressing enter to cease the call as he quickly hid it behind his shell before the rest had realized he was no longer next to them. Mikey had been the first to notice.
\t“Something wrong Leo?” Mikey strolled back to him. Concern painting his expression as his eyes instinctively scoped the area for signs of threats.
\t“Oh no, you guys can go on ahead. I’ll meet you back at the lair in a few.” Leo smiled innocently. Three pairs of confused eyes turned on him.
\t“Where are you going?” Don asked the question that, no doubt, rung in everyone’s head.
\t“Pizza!” Leo answered. “Need pizza. Ran out this morning and need some dinner after that run.” Don’s mouth opened as if to question him on his decision when Mikey shoved him aside. Shutting him up. Those big sky blue eyes gleaming happily and hungrily.
\t“Oh! Can you get the one with the anchovies?” Mikey asked excitedly.
\t“Of course.” Mikey gave him a quick hug. Nearly choking the breath out of him in his sign of gratitude. He released him after a few long seconds ticked by. The turtle skipping back to Don’s side. He turned his eyes on Raph who was the next to face him.
\t“Nervous about the date?” He smirked. Obviously teasing him but Leo could easily see that Raph expected this was another of his excuses to get away from him. Not this time.
\tLeo scoffed. “No. I just thought pizza would improve the date.”
\tRaph shrugged. Seeming to not care either way. “Whatever.”
\t“I’ll be back in ten minutes after you guys return. You can pick out a movie while I’m gone. Hell, make it atmospheric. Get rose petals and candles. Go to town on it.” Leo flung his free arm in the air. His chest somewhat loosening when a smirk claimed Raph’s lips.
\t“Do you want me to come with you?”
\t“No. No. I’ll be fine. It’s faster this way.”
\t“You sure?” Raph stepped closer into his space. Leo gulped down the lump in his throat. Resisting the desire to take a step back. He had dealt with worse. He could as easily handle this. “Maybe we could steal a few minutes before heading back to the lair.” Raph’s voice lowered in a volume that could only reach Leo. Fingertips ghosting against his arm. His muscles bunching in reaction to the touch. Raph’s hot breath flowing down his neck. Stay strong. Do not back away.
\t“Would love to, but perhaps we should save that for tonight.” Yes, tonight. Where Leo could cuddle up against Raph and purposely fall asleep. Raph wouldn’t dare try to sex him up if he was too tired to do anything.
\tRaph’s lids lowered to tiny slits. “You’re still avoiding me.”
\t“I am not!” He insisted.
\tRaph shook his head. An impassive mask suddenly shadowing his rough features. Hiding away his emotions for him to read. “Right, then. Don’t get lost.” The words came out flat. As if he honestly couldn’t care what happened to him either way. Leo clenched the phone tightly in his fist, he swore he heard a crack. Do not break it. He prayed this conversation wasn’t completely receiving on the speaker. He watched grimly as Raph turned away from him. Heading off to the lair without looking back once. Don and Mikey reluctantly running in his quake. He wasn’t fooling anybody.
\tHe waited for their shells to disappear past a taller building before he finally had the guts to hold out his phone. His muscles slackening their clasp on his bones. His breath he had been holding, leaving him in a quick puff.
\t“I’ve been hearing a lot lately a certain somebody has been having a difficult time completing their task. Should I dare ask how it is going?” A deep rasping voice crackled through the speaker. Sending a cold wave across his body. Freezing his blood to ice.
\tLeo frowned. Acting unfazed. “It is going fine.” A lie. But he didn’t need to know that. “I arranged a date with Raphael to earn his trust back.” Truth.
\t“Back? You lost it?” Anger tainted the tone. His volume rising an octave higher. “You say it is going fine? I have a very hard time believing you. Simplify your new plan.”
\t“I may have encountered a few delay’s but it’s nothing I can’t fix. Everything is in my control.” False.
\t“I already heard enough from you.” That deadly voice, lowered. Calming back to as he had started. “You told me last time that you discovered the family is having doubts of you. Now they are suspicious of your behavior. Raphael is now distancing himself from you and will probably continue to do so if you keep up with your pathetic lies. Unless, of course, you turn his attention away on your flaws.”
\tHe did not like how this was going. “I’ve got everything under control.” He insisted. Lifting his chin in the air for no one to see.
\t“I don’t believe you do.”
\t“I do!”
\t“No. You do not and I cannot risk having you ruin everything for me. I will be forced to dispose of you.”
\t“No!” A surge of panic and fear rattled his bones. His heart hammering sporadically against his ribs. How on earth did he get himself tangled up in this crazy situation? If he escaped alive he was going to retire. “Just give me more time! Please! I can fix this! I--”
\t“You do not have more time! I need everything you can give me! I need every single detail and you are failing me! They have destroyed me once! I will not allow you to do so as well!” He could hear in the background a slam. The sound of wood cracking. The rustle of papers and clacks of pencils falling to the ground.
\t“And you will have them! I assure you! Please!” Leo was never one to result to begging but he feared it was his only choice now.
\t“How? How do you expect to gain back their trust and learn everything you can in the little time you have left? Give me a good plan and perhaps I could spare you.” Silence echoed for the count of three as Leo opened and closed his mouth to speak. Say anything. “You don’t have one, do you? You’re worthless to me.”
\t“What should I do?” He demanded as soon as he found his voice.
\tAnother pause. He felt the cold hand of dread wrap its fingers around his heart. Squeezing. “Sleep with him.” Was the simple answer.
\t“What?”
\t“You heard me. Sleep with him. It’ll solve your dilemma. He’ll think everything went back to normal.”
\t“But-- But--” Leo worked his jaw furiously. His mind a whirlwind of terror and desperation.
\t“Enough. It’s either that or horrible, torturous death. If I were you I would pick the latter.” So calm the voice was. As if giving these threats was his day job. Actually, it kind of was. His hobby was carrying out the threats. With a smile. It was quite obvious what he had to do. There weren’t too many options to consider.
\t“Yes sir.” He muttered meekly.
\t“Excellent.”
\tLeo updated him on the latest of events. The discussion that had taken place amongst his brothers in the kitchen hadn’t pleased his employer too much but the news of his increase in ranking had somewhat made up for it.
\t“Good. You’re doing well with the rat. I expect the next time I call you’ll be telling me these problems have been dealt with. Yes?”
\t“Of course.” He had no room for doubt. His life depended upon it.
\t“Nice work Leonardo.” Leo sighed. Frowned.
\t“That’s not my name.” Not that he knew what his name was. But he didn’t like Leo.
\t“It is while you’re still there looking the way you do. That is who you are now. Deal with it.” Sweet man, wasn’t he? Leo scowled, deciding it was best for his health to keep his opinions of the matter to himself. Had he ever encountered such a thick headed, quick-tempered, vicious to the very center of his black stone heart, employer before? No. And he hoped he never will again.
\t“How is Leonardo? Anything important to update me on?”
\t“As a matter of fact, there is. Something helpful. The turtle likes to talk in his sleep and tends to mumble a lot about Raphael.”
\t“Oh? More memory’s?” Leo asked. Hopeful. Those were the key to his success.
\t“An endearment.”
\t“A pet name?” Seriously?
\t“A nickname we concluded Leonardo has the only right to speak.”
\tLeo snorted. “How’s that going to help me?”
\t“Emotional connection. As I am to understand, that is what you need. Correct?”
\t“Yes.” He sighed. “So what is the nickname?”
\t“Raphie.” Leo tried hard not to chuckle at the sound of such a ridiculous name on such a scary guy’s voice. Yet, he still sent cold harsh shivers to skitter across his spine.
\t“He puts up with that?”
\t“Apparently so.”
Leo groaned. This day just kept getting better and better. “Anything else?”
“Just remember that your time is ticking. Use my mercy wisely.” Leo bit back a few choice words he had for the man. Growling in a mixture of terror and rage as soon as the call ended. He didn’t want to be here. Didn’t want to do this but there was no refusing his boss when he wanted something. He had been captured and the demands had been given to him. He had tried to get out of it but found himself bound with a sharp deadly weapon held to his throat and promised to meet skin, flesh, and bone if he didn’t agree. His services abused, he had accepted. He couldn’t run. Couldn’t hide. Not from this guy. His best chance was to do as he says and pray to not piss him off.
Vile curses escaped with every breath he exhaled on. He had to sleep with Raph. Had to have sex with him or die with a relentless amount of torture beforehand. At least one could potentially bring him pleasure. He wasn’t a virgin and far from innocent when it came to sex. He had a long string when it came to the women he bedded, but that was the problem. He preferred women. Adored women. He could count on one turtley hand of how many men he had taken. Mostly for the job such as this. No choice in the matter though. He was going to do it. He just wasn’t going to like it.
Maybe, if he was lucky enough, he would be too lost in pleasure to care. Sighing heavily, Leo stuffed the t-phone back into his pocket. Pushing off the roof, he headed in the direction of the nearest pizza place.
Raphael peeked over his shoulder to the lair’s entrance when he heard the squeak of the turnstiles. It surprised him that Leo had kept his promise. He was only five minutes late from the time he had told him. He wanted to be with him? Honestly? He didn’t dare allow himself to hope. Leo could very much have another trick up his sleeve to avoid him.
He debated with himself whether to smile or not as Leo padded down the few steps into the living room. Pizza in hand. In the end, he chose to keep neutral. You’re still mad with him. Remember? This wasn’t the Leo he felt comfortable around. This wasn’t the Leo he fantasized a relationship with. He wanted loving, strong, nerdy, sexy as sin Leo. He wanted the turtle that adored him and made him laugh.
“That took longer than expected.” He said. Purposely being a pain in the rear end.
\t“Sorry. The pizza guy was slow and--” Leo stopped in his tracks. His sapphire gaze sweeping over the living room. Candles were randomly placed all around the room. Three on the coffee table and television, while some were scatter around the floors.
\t“You took me seriously?”
\tRaph shrugged. Turning back to the basketball game he had been watching while he waited. “Got bored.” He could hear Leo’s soft footsteps strolling closer to him. He tried not to stiffen.
\t“What happened to rose petals?” Leo teased. Raph watched him place the pizza on the coffee table out of the corner of his eye. Sinking down onto the couch next to him.
\t“Would have if we had any. So I settled myself with your candles. Don’t worry, I’ll get you new ones.” Raph answered.
\t“So where are the others?” Leo asked.
\t“Don’s in his lab. Master Splinter went to bed early, and I think Mikey is reading comics in his room. I can’t remember. Wasn’t paying attention.”
\tLeo nodded. “Is this the show you picked out for our date?” He could tell without even looking at him that Leo was smirking at him. He forced himself not to look despite how badly he wanted to see that face. He refused to get comfortable with Leo. He knew, as soon as he did he would be let down. Just like the hundredth time this happened. When will you learn Raphael? He didn’t want to. He didn’t want to have to learn anything. Leo was all that mattered to him.
\t“No.” Raph grabbed the remote. Switching channels. His motions clipped as he picked up the box filled with their movies off the ground.
\t“Well, while you pick out something, I’ll get some drinks.” Leo said. Raph could feel the cushions being disturbed beneath him as Leo got up and disappeared into the kitchen. He randomly grabbed out a movie and popped it in the dvd player before taking back his place on the couch. Wondering if he was going to be able to survive this night. Already he was getting hard for Leo with just the thought of him. Even when Leo was mad at him for something, he never denied him this long.
\tStop being so needy. You don’t need him for anything. Your desperation is probably what he wants. He wants to torture you until you crack. Don’t give him the satisfaction.
\tHis mind gradually cleared of his thoughts but his body continued to cry out for Leo’s touch. He sighed.
\t“So what movie did you pick?” Leo plopped back down onto the couch. Handing Raph one of the cans of soda. He took it with a muttered thanks. Cracking it open and downing a mouthful. The cold fizzy liquid bubbling down his throat. Refreshing.
\t“Knocked up.”
\tLeo blinked. Staring at him in bewilderment. “Seriously?”
\tRaph snorted. “No.”
\t“Thank god. I thought you were actually going to be serious about this date.”
\t“Obviously I am. I got the atmosphere and the entertainment done. What have you contributed to this?”
\t“I got us dinner.” Leo gestured to the pizza box. Leaning over, he opened it and snatched up a slice. Nibbling on the tip. “Enjoy.”
\tRaph smirked. Claiming his own slice. “Classy.”
\t“Are you complaining about pizza?” Leo chuckled. Amusement glittering in those eyes. So light hearted he suddenly sounded. Raph’s stomach clenched. He didn’t respond to the comment. Distracting his mouth with the food.
\t“Besides, I got more plans for you later.” Raph nearly choked on the mouthful he had as Leo flashed him a flirty look. Do not hope! The last time he had seen that look it felt like forever ago. He didn’t want to entertain him in fear that this was some day dream he was having. Why the sudden change? Why now was he pretending he liked him again? Was he pretending? He had pushed away his advances for a little over two weeks! Now he wanted to play? When he was just about ready to give up?
\tDo not freakin hope!
\t“You’re very bipolar, you know that Leo?” Raph grounded his teeth together. Clear irritation arising in his irises. He hoped Leo could see it.
\t“Do you know how to make pizza amatory?” Leo switched subjects, avoiding Raph’s gaze. He let him. Genuinely curious.
\t“How?”
\t“It’s simple.” Leo smiled, grabbing Raph’s wrist, mid-way to his mouth. Replacing it with his own slice he held.
\t“Feeding each other? That’s what you’re into?” Raph struggled not to laugh.
\t“Some people find it intimate and erotic.” Leo shrugged.
\tRaph lifted an eye ridge. “Erotic? The last time someone fed me it was our father and erotic was the last thing I could feel about that.”
\tLeo rolled his eyes. “The last thing people think about on a date is their father.”
\tRaph sniggered. “Not unless their getting home late and about to get into trouble with said father.” Leo chuckled. The sound faint but his ears caught it anyway. One of the most beautiful noises he’s ever heard.
\tHis attention momentarily distracted as he watched Leo picking off the anchovies from the pizza and setting them on a spare napkin. Strange . . . Leo loved fish. All of them did actually. They were turtles. It was in their DNA to love fish. Before he could question the bizarre action, Leo already asked him something else.
\t“What was that?” Raph looked up.
\t“I asked; What are we really going to watch?” Leo repeated.
\tRaph set down his pizza slice back in the box and scooped up the remote. Skipping over the last remaining previews. The title screen finally appearing.
\t“How to lose a guy in 10 day’s?” Leo peeked at Raph from the corner of his eye.
\t“It’s a romance/comedy.”
\tAn eye ridge rose.
\t“It was the only decent movie in the junkyard we could find. And if you haven’t noticed yet, we have a very limited movie collection.”
\t“So this was the only thing good in our bleak movie collection?”
\tRaph huffed out a sigh, grabbing up the box he started scuffling through them. Listing out the others. “Well, we got; The Shining. The Thing. Bulletproof. Obsessed. Lady Terminator. Teen Spirit. Samurai Cop. And The New Moon.” He eyed Leo listlessly. “The few others are Mikey’s cartoon Super Hero television shows and, of course, your Space Heroes. Plus a few documentary’s Don insisted on keeping.”
\tLeo sniffed but didn’t reply. Merely scooping up the remote and pressing play. Raph set down the box and sunk back against the couch. Crossing his arms over his abdomen and propping his feet on the coffee table.
\t
\tAbout an hour and half into the date and Leo could easily admit this had been one of the worst dates he’s been on. Even then, those other dates he considered pretty bad had a better outcome than this. He was sitting on one end of the couch. His arm propped up by his elbow. His palm supporting his chin. His legs tucked beneath him. Raph sat on the other side. Still in that same position as when they had started this movie. He had remained motionless. Silent. His attention glued on the screen and never wavering. He wondered for a second if he had fallen asleep with his eyes opened. No wait! There was a twitch!
\tA tired long sigh exhaled from Raph’s lungs as he stretched. Still not moving any of his limbs from their positions. He slumped back. Eyes drooping. Nope, he popped them open.
\tIn truth, the movie wasn’t half bad. Enjoyable even if the circumstances had been better. Even with the humorous jokes neither one of them had uttered a single word. Not even a chuckle was heard. The tension so thick between them you couldn’t have sliced a blade through it. Dampening the mood.
\tMore than half of this movie was over and he hadn’t made a single square inch of progress with Raph. This was his last chance to fix things. If he failed again, he was done for. Bye, bye, sweet breath. Hello hell. Leo wrung his hands. Nibbling on his lower lip till copper flavored liquid coated his tongue. He could not end this day without bedding Raph.
\tHe cleared his throat. Raph twitched again. A muscle ticking below his eye. Good. He was listening to him. “I can honestly say that this is probably one of the worst dates in the history of dating.”
\tRaph snorted. “Gee, why on earth would you think that?”
\tSarcasm. Clear sign that Raph didn’t want to be here. He had to put an end to that. “We could still salvage the remainder of this date, you know.”
\t“How?” Raph still refused to look at him but his eye ridges were knitted together. Confusion chiseled his visage.
\t“It would probably help if you stop trying to pretend I’m not here.” Leo retorted. His voice taut. Triumph blossomed in his chest when Raph’s eyes finally converted to him.
\t“I’m not pretending anything.” Raph denied. Fog shadowing his emotions away from view in those couple green orbs.
\t“Then what are you doing all the way over there?” Leo pointed to him.
\t“Watching a movie.” Raph replied dryly. His sights returning back to the screen. Again. Dang it!
\tLeo grumbled. Breathed. “I know, but I would prefer your attention over here.” He crawled over to the other side of the couch. Cupping Raph’s cheek he drew his face over to him. Smiling when emerald eyes finally acknowledged him and his closeness. His eyes went wide. Raph’s adam’s apple bobbing as he swallowed. Obviously uncomfortable. Did he care? Absolutely not. Without giving Raph the time to regain the ability to speak, he claimed Raph’s mouth. His hands sliding around to the back of his neck, positioning him just right. Just perfect. He crawled on top of him, his legs straddling his hips. His hands now roaming across the broad muscled chest. His lips leaving light soft kisses all over his face before resuming their kiss.
\tOnly after a few long moments past did Raph finally start to respond. The passion and tension heating the air around them. Moaning when he felt his tongue slip into his mouth. Tease him. Then retreat. Repeating. Driving him crazy. The boy was learning real quick.
\tDeciding to push his luck a little farther, he began rocking his hips insistently against Raph’s. The friction mind-numbing. Wonderful. Leo allowed his mind to wander. Imagining this was anyone but Raphael. Pretending that he wasn’t doing this to save his life. Just them and pleasure. So much pleasure.
\tRaph ripped his mouth away. Both gasping like busted pipes.
\t“No. Leo stop!” Raph’s hands found and held his hips steady. His fingers digging deep in his muscles.
\tHe frowned. Disappointed. “What’s wrong?”
\t“I know how this dance goes already, Leo.” Raph said between clenched teeth. Anger and desire roiling around in the depths of his green irises. “I’m sick and tired of being your toy.”
\t“What do you--”
\t“You know exactly what I mean Leonardo. I’m sick and tired of being left frustrated and needy. Do not start this with me if you’re planning on stopping half way through. You either fuck me or leave me the hell alone.” Raph growled low and dangerous. Husky. Leo’s jaw dropped. Should he be surprised? No. Was he anyway? Absolutely.
\t“I’m so sorry Raphie. I do want you. I really honestly do.” Leo murmured. Feeling the body stiffen under him. He reached up, tangling his hands in the mask tails. Placing one gentle kiss on his cheek.
\t“No, you don’t. You grew tired of me. Admit it. You’re only back because you couldn’t get off as well on your own.” Ouch. That stung.
\tIt was a good thing he wasn’t emotionally attached to Raph. Leonardo would have hurt. Course, Leonardo wouldn’t have done this anyway. “Raph, that’s not--”
\t“Leo, I was born with you. Do you think I don’t know when you’re lying to me?”
\tApparently not. “Raph, I’ve been avoiding you because I was scared.”
\t“Of what?”
\t“Of telling you how much I want to be with you.” Again. He could feel Raph’s muscles clamp down on his bones. Shock overcoming his appearance. Knowing he couldn’t take it back now, he continued to trudge forward on thin ice. “I know we agreed our relationship was only supposed to be a casual one. It was only sex we came to each other for, but I couldn’t stop myself from thinking it as more.”
\tRaph stared at him in disbelief. Had he made another mistake? Should he try to take it back? Apologize? His pulse pounded in his ear drums as he waited. His mind a storm cloud of panic and fear. Next thing he knew he was pulled on top of Raph. Arms wove around his waist. Lips locked with his. Tongue thrusting in his mouth. Hands cupping his ass and fingers fondling his tail. He moaned before he had the chance to bite it back. Pleasure soaring from his tail and skittering up his spine. A pain growing between his legs.
\t“I should be mad.” Raph rumbled. His lips pressed against his temple. “I had planned to ask you that. Huh, looks like you beat me to it.”
\tHe lifted up his head. Surprised when he saw Raph smiling. “You were?”
\tRaph nodded. “Yeah. I had been thinking about it for a while. I wasn’t sure you wanted to.”
\tHe felt no remorse for what he had done to Raph and Leo’s relationship. Whatever happened between the two afterwards, his life was much more worth it. You snared him. He believes you now. Do it! Take him before you talk yourself out of it!\t
Without any more hesitation he jerked Raph closer to him. Meshing their lips together. Squirming as Raph’s hands continued to massage the sensitive muscles of his tail. Grinding their plastrons together just right. He could feel himself getting harder. So painfully hard. So good.
\tDo not think. Do not think. Just do it. Take him!
\tLeo sucked on Raph’s tongue almost desperately. The turtle groaning and thrusting his hips against his. Creating a delicious friction. His fingers tugged and pulled at the knot on Raph’s mask while his other clenched Raph’s shoulder to keep himself balanced. He tossed away the crimson fabric as soon as he got it lose. He could feel Raph’s fingers desert his tail and switch his attention to the knot on his belt. He almost whined. Swallowing the sound.
\tControl. He needed control. He only needed to do this for Raph’s benefit. Not his own. Once that was done, he was home free. He had to be. He had no other choice but death.
\tHe moved his mouth over to the side of Raph’s neck. Sucking and nibbling against the skin. Smiling to himself when his mouth found that place under his jawline where his pulse beat erratically against his tongue. It was quite amusing and entertaining when discovering pleasure spots on newbies. How shocked some of them are at the places that could grant them such pleasure with just a nibble of the teeth or the swipe of a tongue. How they writhe and beg for more.
\tLeo gasped when his belt fell away and Raph’s hand cupped him between his legs. His thumb pressing and massaging against the bulge that quickly formed on the lower half of his plastron. Raph’s mouth attaching on his shoulder. Sucking. A jolt of electricity trekked down his spine. Then he bit down. Leo gasped, squeezing his eyes shut as he fought his own arousal. He was not in control. Damn it! This was supposed to be the other way around!
\tFury mixed into his need and slowly cooling him back down a notch, enough that he no longer had stars winking in his vision. He rocked himself against the hand. Just a little bit more than he can release himself. Then he can do what he agreed to do.
\t
Raph pressed the palm of his hand against the bulge. Blocking Leo’s way.
“Raph!” Leo shouted. Desperation and frustration mingling in his voice. His shoulders heaving with every pant. “This had better not be pay back.”
Raph chuckled as he considered deserting Leo right then and now. How needy he would be just like he once had been. Suffering that same pain and frustration. Would he beg for him? He was suddenly curious. Such a tempting idea but he knew he wouldn’t do it. He wasn’t going to be that douche. While Leo had denied him for so long he wanted him now and he couldn’t bring himself not to heed the request. Besides, the boner he was going to have to deal with even if he had miraculously unattached himself from this body would be too painful.
He pulled his hand away. Moving it up so he could cup his cheek. Leo glared down at him. So amusing. “No. This isn’t pay back. I’m not so evil.”
“Then why are you--”
“Because I want to properly savor you in our bedroom.” Raph smirked.
“Will you stop interrupting me?”
“No.” He nudged Leo with his knee and the turtle shimmied off of him. Quickly grasping his wrist and tugging him along down the hallway.
