Ravens Birthday

Part Two

Raven thought over both options, they both sounded wonderful, but being cramped in a van all day to get to the UFC, didn't sound like a very fun way to spend most of his birthday. Not until the end of the day when they would arrive at UFC anyway.

His Russian heart beat quickly at the thought of a traditional birthday, like how they'd celebrate in his homeland. If he had more than one day to celebrate, he would do both, but he knew that when tomorrow came it would be back to Academy business and the fun would be over.

He was already working out a plan in his head of everything he wanted to do today, starting with teaching Kayli how to box. "Let's go to the boxing ring." Raven said, wrapping his arm around Kayli to grab a piece of bacon. She snatched it out of his hand and stuffed it into her mouth while he stared down into her beautiful orbs. "Is that good, little thief?"

Kayli smirked playfully, blowing her breath into his face to antagonize him.

She should know better.

Raven grabbed her around her waist, causing her to squeal and squirm before pressing his lips to hers, pressing her to him as he pressed into her, the taste of bacon on her lips. His chest rumbled with a groan of pleasure as he pulled back, smirking down at her.

Today was going to be fun.

After Breakfast, Raven headed to his room and grabbed a backpack, shoving some things that they might need. As he shoved the last thing into the backpack, he heard and sensed someone at the doorway. He tensed, but acted normal. Spending his life in Russia had taught him never to overlook the tiniest shifts of air or sounds and just because it was his birthday, didn't mean something bad couldn't happen. His senses heightened as he listened, letting his senses tell him what he needed to know, his muscles were tensed and ready to attack before the attacker could. The slight shuffle of light feet reached his ears and he knew by the sound of their breathing that it was Kayli. His muscles relaxed and he slipped from defense mode.

Raven could sense when Kayli was close enough to him, right behind his right shoulder. Swinging around, he collected her thin wrists into his hands and backed her up the few steps to the wall. There, he pressed his chest into hers, his eyes locking on her surprised ones as he smirked, dipping his head to suck and lick at the base of her neck. Kayli gasped and he groaned, pressing into her and wrapping a hand around her side and across her back. Slipping his hand under her shirt, he could feel the softness of her skin, drawing him in more and more.

"Raven." Kayli whispered as he let his hand roam. She wasn't fighting him, but as she spoke his name again he could tell she wanted him to slow down. He sucked in her earlobe, nibbling gently.

She wanted him to take things slow with her and he still hadn't had the chance to take her on an American date. It was important to her, even if he didn't fully understand why. If he had his way, they would do things the Russian way and she'd already be in his bed.

Someone clearing their throat from the doorway tugged him from his lustful haze. He sighed, pulling back and looking down into Kaylis eyes with his darkened ones, he silently promised himself and her that they would continue this soon and next time he would make sure no one would interrupt them.

Raven kissed her chastely on the lips, then her forehead before pulling back and turning towards the door, his eyes boring into Brandon's.
