Raven couldn’t believe that she was leading Wolf to her car and her home. Especially considering her past experiences with men, but she couldn’t help herself. She wanted him so badly it hurt, and she didn’t even know his name. She could hear him breath as he walked behind her. Just thinking about him being that close made the soft hairs on her neck raise. Where was she going to start? How was she going to explain what was running in her or that she had seen his face before but only in her dreams, she had seen the pain in his eyes, she knew that kind of pain, she saw the same in her eyes every time she looked in the mirror. She needed a glass of wine and thank god Missy didn’t come up this weekend. That was something Raven did not want to explain, to either Missy or Wolf. Thankfully her car was at the garage instead of her driver bringing her. She needed to drive hard to get some of the energy out or she was going to jump him in the alley.
Wolf was listening to the click-clack of her spiked heeled boots and avoided staring at her ass. That kiss in the club was intoxicating, he wouldn't have let her go but he felt like he was going to lose control. Something he despised doing and rarely ever did anymore. Especially, not with any female. Sex was never a problem, girls tended to fall over him. But he could only tolerate them for so long. The only part he liked was they losing it and the fact that he caused it. But he wanted her, wanted to grab her, sink his hands deep in her hair and bury him into her. To do things to her that he had never done with anyone.
The sun was starting to rise and the sky was full of vibrant purples, blues and reds streaking through the sky. They were walking towards the sun and from were Kaleb was standing, Isabell seemed to be bathed in light and even though she was dressed all in black, she seemed to glow. A viscous gust of wind blew her leather duster to the side and Kaleb caught a glimpse of the golden skin above her hip. All he could think about was licking that spot and tasting her skin. She started to shiver from the cold wind and Kaleb reached out for her. She started to jerk away but stop when his hand touched her shoulder. It wasn't so much his hand as the thumb that brushed the back of her neck. She would normally have broken a man's hand for touching her but she could sense that he didn't often reach for anyone and his hand was warm.
" My car is at the top of the stairs. I'm sorry it was such a walk. But I don't like to park close to the clubs." Raven said.
"Raven, what is your real name?" Wolf questioned.
"Don't worry we will get to that later. Here is my car, get in; my house is about 10 minutes away. The sun is coming up and I want to be home before it is all the way up."
Wolf was shocked to see that Raven's car was a sleek, black 1967 Barracuda with blue ghost flames running down the sides, most women didn't drive machines like this. Hell most men didn't drive cars like this He held the car door open for her as she got in, which surprised Isabell because he didn't seem the type to hold the door for anyone. He walked to the passenger side and got in. "Where to next?" Wolf asked. He felt like a puppet being led around.
"My place is on 6th and Drake." Raven responded. She could tell he was anxious.
"I thought there was an abandoned warehouses on that corner. And isn't it about 20 minutes away?" Wolf asked.
"It may looked abandoned on the outside, but it most definitely isn’t on the inside. I own the whole warehouse; my flat is on the top floor. And it only takes 10 minutes the way I drive." Raven said as she put on her sunglasses, put the car in first and turned the car to head out of the garage.
She rolled down the windows, to feel the cool air on her face and slipped in "Enigma" into the CD player and cranked the sounds.
"You'll have to excuse the music, it helps me wind down after a night of acid rock." Raven told Wolf.
He couldn't believe the woman he just met. She looked solid acid & punk rock, but listened to earthy, sexual music. She practically had sexuality wrapped all around her, but not one man looked at her or approached her. She had the look of a chronic raver with nothing in her head or her pockets but when you get close enough you can tell the quality of her clothes and makeup, even after all night partying she still looked stunning.
Wolf leaned his head back against his seat and wondered what he was in for. And silently hoped it was as consuming as he wanted it. He looked at her as she ran through the gears of the 'Cuda and was surprise by the quick pain of attraction in his stomach. He couldn’t wait until they got to her place, if that kiss in the club was any inclination of the kind of passion she was going to have, he was in for one hell of a night. At that thought a wicked little grin crept across his face.
Raven crept out of the garage careful not to scrub the 'Cuda but as soon as she cleared the garage she began to run through the gears, wanting to get home. She could feel the sun was rising even through the tint and her eyes were already starting to hurt. If she couldn’t kick her insomnia soon her eyes were going to be too sensitive to go anywhere without her sunglasses. As she turned smoothly turned left at the end of the block, She thought about him sitting so close to her. She could feel Wolf shift in his sit as she rode the corner sharply. Her hair was blowing back off of her face and she was sure that it was hitting him in the face but he never said anything and neither did she.
It felt good to be going home, back to her space, the place where she really felt free. At that moment she started to feel panicky about the man sitting next to her. What was she getting her self unto? She had never had a male in her house since the day she left her mothers home at the age of thirteen. What was she going to do with him when they got there? Raven didn’t know, but she felt all of the anxiety drain from her body as she looked at Wolf There was a reason why she went to the club tonight to met him and she was going to figure out what her mind has subconsciously sent her to do.
She slowed her 'Cuda down has she rounded the corner off of 6th Street. Turning onto Drake and she immediately took a left and stopped, flicking off her headlights. Wolf looked at her, he had thought she was going to drive into the wall, but he watched as she pressed the single silver bullet charm that hung from around her neck. And out of what he had thought was a drainage line in the sidewalk, an electronic keypad rose out of the ground. Raven quickly typed in a couple of keys and the face opened to reveal an intercom. "Raven" she told the box and a green light flashed on to the LCD screen directly above the intercom, it scrolled across "Welcome Home." Raven closed the front of the box, showing the keypad and typed in two more numbers and it smoothly glided back into the ground. She looked at Wolf and gave a small smile, like what just happened was a normal thing to do, then looked forward and put the car into first.
Wolf looked up to see that the brick wall that they had been in front of them was now gone. Isabell pulled through the wall into the warehouse and it silently close behind them plunging them into pitch darkness.
"Well we are here," Raven softly said " at my fortress."
"It's nice, I just love the black thing that you have done with the place, so much better than all the white furnishing that everyone is into now." Wolf teasingly said.
Raven paused and then broke out with laughter and surprise at the response she had received about her home, and then laughed even harder when she realized that they were sitting in the dark and how odd that must have been for him, she hadn't even thought about it, she was so use to it by now.
She moved to open the door to turn on the lights when he touched her arm. Wolf was surprise that he was worried that his smart-ass comment had offended her, but then she broke into laughter and shocked him further still by how nice it was to hear her laugh. It was as beautiful as she was, and he wished that he could see her eyes when she laughed like that. He reached for her and felt her go deathly still, like she was fighting in- side her self.
He turned in his seat and felt her shift slightly to him; he ran his hand up her arm to her shoulder, feeling how soft her skin was. Breathing in her smell, something light like jasmine or magnolia, it was intoxicating. He ran his thumb over her collarbone and eased his hand behind her neck with his thumb on her chin raising her mouth up towards his. He leaned forward and rested his cheek next to hers, feeling her soft breath on his ear. He sank his hand into her hair, gently pulling her forward until her lips touched his.
He was sinking in the feel of her; he had never felt anything like this before, as she melted into the front of him. Sliding her arms around his waist and slipping her little hands into his shirt to slide them up his spine. Not even the coldness of her hands stopped him from fully enjoying the softness of her hands, the scrape from her nails has she pulled him closer to her. Tasting her tongue in his mouth, how it felt like velvet.
He moved to pull her closer when he bashed his hip into the skull gearshift. He didn’t stop but Raven felt it and pulled back to softly ask, "Are you ok?"
"Yea, yea, just a miscalculation of were the gear shift was." Wolf responded. He wanted to turn back to her but he could sense the shift in her.
" Well give me a moment and I will go turn on the light and then we can go upstairs and have a nice stiff drink." Raven said lightly as she got out of the car and walked to the wall. She licked her lips and tasted his skin again before she touched the switch. Wondering again what she was doing with him, why she brought him to her home.
Pushing away from the wall, she walked towards the 'Cuda and pulled her cigarettes from the dash. Lighting one of them, she watched as Wolf unfolded his self from the car.
He lend across the roof of the car and asked "Mind if I can have one?"
"Yea, sure. Here is a light." Isabell said as she passed the pack and a lighter across to him.
Raven walked towards the door in front of 'Cuda and stopped in front of the keypad beside it. She punched in a couple of numbers and heard the door click and the central stereo click on. She pressed the * key and said "Track 1 on". Raven reaching for the doorknob, felt Wolf walk up behind her, and she stopped moving.
"Is everything voice and numerical operated in your home." Wolf whispered in her ear.
