Hope

Chapter 7

I showered and put on some normal clothes afterwards. I lied I wasn't going to rest, I was going to see Damian. I had on some black sweatpants and a loose black t-shirt that hung off one shoulder, exposing the dark blue lace bralette I had on underneath.

I knocked on Damian's door, no answer but there was a whimper so I opened the door and Titus came out. "Come on boy let's find Damian." I said rubbing his head. Titus walked by my side as we walked through the tower. 

We road the elevator down to the training room. Getting off he was right where he always is. Titus ran towards him, but I stopped in my tracks when I saw him. He was shirtless. The muscles lining his back were covered in droplets of sweat. Damian stops when Titus comes in to view and he starts petting him. Titus then looked at me, my face went red when Damian looked over to me. A small smile crept on his face.

I started walking over there then stopped a few feet away. "How are you feeling?" He asked then took sip of water from his water bottle. Watching him drink it made my stomach flip I had to look away.

"I'm fine," I sad timidly. I didn't look back in his direction, I was nervous. Damian Wayne was making me nervous? Maybe I should go lay down. 

"Do you want to train?" He asked. I shook my head nervously. "Is the Raven nervous of trainig with me?" He had so much ego,  it wasn't tha he intimidated me in training but the he looked right now was making me nervous. I've never really seen him without any article of clothing off.

"No, I'm not." I had to defend myself.

"Prove it." He was taunting me. He even moved forward making it worse. I threw a punch towards his chest but moved to the side quickly causing me to miss. He scoffed. Okay, fine then Damian Wayne you want to train then let's train.

I threw another punch but he leaned to the right and grabbed my arm, then yanked it towards him. I was cause to turn around and he had me locked in his arms. My heart was racing ready to explode from my chest. My back was against his bare chest. I could feel my shoulder touch his skin and made me tingle. His face came to the left side of my head which is where my exposed shoulder was and I shuddered. For some reason my natural instinct was to tilt my head the other way to expose my neck to him. I felt him left out a breath on my neck and the heat in my body rose rapidly.

"You haven't proven yourself yet." He whispered against my skin. I snapped out of it and stepped on his toe, not enough to break it, probably not even a bruise, but just enough to get to release me. Moved away from him and faced him. I wanted to say something but I couldn't not when my heart was still racing from that moment. I opened a portal and ran through it quickly Titus barked and he came through too.

I was in my room with Titus. I sat down in front of my floor to ceiling window with my knees to my chest. Titus came up to me laying down so that the second half of his body was behind me and his head next me. He acted as a security blanket.
