All the more reason to send her an email first, the last thing I want to do is throw her off or stress her out with a random phone call. Or heaven forbid, show up on her doorstop years later....oh wait no, that was you.
That's fine. I'll let her know that we're together too, and that way she has some communication from both of us and it will make more sense all around.
[Ducks his head and laughs, poking back.] Okay, well, it worked out for the better now, didn't it? I get to nibble on you, and we get to start our torrid love affair all over again, making it work this time around. Who knows, maybe in a year or so you'll be picking out a wedding dress.
[Dick slides his arms from her to rest them lightly on her hips, but he sits back eyes open a little.]
Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I- I didn't think we were single any more. I thought we were dating again. I would never have gone this far with you if I was single. I don't think I could have.
[His heart was still cautious and he knew that hers was too, and while he figured that he owed her a lot to earn her trust, he didn't realize that after being with her like this, even after their first conversation didn't mean that they'd decided to try again. He'd been serious about the wedding dress as well. There was no joking to it, so it hurt that she thinks that he'd even tease about something so serious. It all tosses him into a dose of reality that he didn't see coming, that he probably should have. ]
I didn't mean single as in we aren't dating, we are. You're my boyfriend. My partner, there's no one else. What I meant was it's not an affair because I'm not with Hank this time and you're not with...anyone else. Does that make sense?
[She explain and then runs a hand through her hair.]
I'm sorry, it's just marriage is....a touchy subject with me after Hank.
You.. you weren't with Hank last time. You'd slept with him once you told me, but that's where it ended.
[He takes in a breath and lets it out slowly. Dick never thought of Dawn as taken when they started to hook up. Sure, he knew that she had met Hank previously and that they'd bonded, and slept together once. That's where he thought it stopped, that dawn had ended it because it was better for both their recovery process if they remained platonic team mates. Then they met up and formed Titans, and he and her dated.
The marriage situation confuses him even further, because they had been the ones married in the dream, not her and hank. He didn't recall anything beyond her and hank dating, and ... ]
Did he propose to you? I'm still confused. I know that you and I had that dream, but... Dawn, you can't let go of a future because of the past. I'm not saying we have to rush into it. I mean, I want to be able to talk to you about things that I desire with you. I have no trouble moving at your speed, but I mean it when I say it. These things aren't jokes to me.
It was where it ended. But I was alluding to when you showed up with Rachel on my doorstep, I was with Hank then. Never mind, I made a dumb joke and it confused both of us.
[She says and then shakes her head again.]
No, he never proposed but we talked about it. About getting married, starting a family. That's one of the reasons why we were trying to move away from hero work.
[But in the end she couldn't let it go, she needed it and then everything went to shit.]
And I'm not saying it's an impossible future but Dick....you can't just drop that kind of comment and not expect me to flinch.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to turn a good conversation into such a tough one. Maybe we should go slower with things. I feel like I keep stepping on the toes of your healing process. I never knew all these things, and if I didn't know, I'm going to keep feeling like I'm stepping on eggshells when I'm only trying to daydream about a future with you.
[It's not a comment that he dropped lightly, and if he hadn't meant it he wouldn't have said it. He's been thinking and dreaming of this for a lot longer than Dawn has probably realized, and he's incredibly serious about her. For a couple who have already dated and surpassed so many odds, a year is a respectable amount of time to find a commitment between them.
Maybe Dick's far more optimistic than he should be, or should have been. He's got to be more gentle and watch everything he says, but that's not exactly what he wants either. He has been working so that he can say what he's feeling, not repress it. He sighs, stuck in his thoughts.]
[Dawn turns and slides carefully into his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him in for a long hug.]
No, it's me who is sorry. I like that you're daydreaming about us, I want us both to be able to hope and dream of a life together for a very long time. I just....
[Her voice wavers and she hugs him tighter.]
My heart is just scared. But maybe what it needs is your assurance, your confidence in us. So don't stop, don't hold back when you feel like that. Just be aware that I might flinch a few times but just hold me and let my heart get used to being loved again.
[There's a small widening of his eyes when Dawn slides into his lap. His stomach twists and his heart turns over. He lets out a sigh of relief. It's terrifying, the thought of losing her or of having her pull away from him again. Dick has his heart out there right now, and has given up all that tightly won control and placed it out there so that they both can work together equally in this relationship, standing side by side-- no one ahead of the other.
Wrapping his arms around her tightly, he turns into her neck and kisses over a few of his favorite spots over and over, whispering words of encouragement and love. ]
I don't want to ever let you go. I want to think about us, to always dream about us and imagine what life can be like for us when the pieces do fall into place, and if you need me to hold on tighter, I will do that. I will always hold you, and love you. You are all I need and all I've ever wanted Dawn. i will keep reminding you, and showing you with all I do, I promise. My heart gets scared too, so scared to lose you. It's not easy, but I believe in us.
[She hugs him harder, upset at herself for almost pushing him away and all because she is scared. It's ridiculous because he is the one person who has always made her feel safe and after hearing his encouraging words she pushes her lips against his. Kissing him hard and firm in an effort to push past the fear.]
[It's been a while since they've been this passionate with one another and Dick can feel the heat and intensity behind Dawn's kiss, all the sincerity she has and he returns every single last bit because he feels all of it. All he wants now is for her to know that he will be the one to keep her safe and secure against any storm that they come against. There may be dangers and things won't always be perfect, but he's here for her. His arms tighten, and he slides his hand down her back, cradling her closer to him as they kiss. ]
[There had been a part of him that was about to ask her if she was certain, because he didn't want to rush things between them since they'd only gotten back together not that long ago. It was only a matter of time though. Love takes many forms, and the way she looked at him, Dick knew. ]
It'd be my pleasure.
[He smiled softly, and leaned down to kiss her gently as he scooped her up in a bridal carry and moved with her into the bedroom. A part of him he'd kept tucked away inside slowly began to unfold. Laying her down against the blankets, he stood up and began to unbutton his shirt, easily slipping it from his shoulders before lowering himself to the bed beside her.]
I love you.
[He whispered, and locked eyes with hers, keeping their eyes together until he could no longer as his lips met hers once more. This time he lost himself completely in their kiss, and pulled her in closely, letting their bodies engage fully in a way he'd been fairly careful not to since they'd been back together. He moaned softly, and ran his hands up the back of her sweater, letting his fingers alight on her soft skin. ]
[She hooks an arms around his neck as he hoists her up into his arms, leaning against him and nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck. She doesn't want to rush things either but it's hard to deny something when it feels right, when it feels needed.
Her bedroom is dark but the city lights from outside the large window by the bed give them both enough light to see yet enough shadows to create a dreamy sort of atmosphere. She watches as he slowly takes off his shirt, her eyes drinking in the sight of the way his muscles move with such a simple movement.]
I love you too.
[She murmurs and welcomes him into her arms, kissing him back deeply as she presses her body against his. Her own hands slide up his bare back, mapping out the muscles and shapes, ones that she used to know by heart and is now pleased to rediscover.]
[The point of rediscovery is one of those things that is fun and different. It's a thing that's new and yet familiar. Dick knows where to touch, but when he runs his fingers along her spine caressing each dip and lift with calloused fingers he's careful. He knows exactly how much pressure it takes to make her sigh, and what it takes to stimulate her further, when to be rough and when to be soft.
Finding the edge of her bra, Dick uses one hand to work the triple clasp. It might have been a while, but not so long that he's forgotten his gift. Sliding his hand between her shoulder blades he moves from her lips so that he can kiss over her neck. ]
You're so beautiful, all of you, so soft and your body is so lovely to touch. I've missed this.
[Parts of him that have carefully laid in slumber, or held away from her begin to awaken and his body starts to remember what it's like to know her, to know her in every form of the verb. He groans against her skin, inhaling the fragrance of her -- the essence that is simply Dawn and all the things that mix together to make her smell and taste the way she does.]
[She whispers and kisses him again before pulling away enough to both pull off her shirt and shrug out of her bra, not wanting to get tangled up in them. She tosses these items onto the bedroom floor and then turns back to Dick, sliding back into his arms. Their naked chests pressing against one another and she sighs at the feeling of his warm skin against hers, he's always felt so strong but in a sleek, sexy way. Hank had been all muscle but Dick is built like a large cat, powerful and svelte.]
[How many times has he dreamed of this. He's woken up to a few embarrassing mornings, covered in a sheen of remembrance. Now he's here with the real thing in his arms, and Dick can hardly believe that she's back with him again. He'd promised the world for one more night, and he will deliver.
It's always been a wonder the way her soft body met so perfectly against his. Her curves filled all the hard planes of his, they were a yin and yang, man and woman and Dick felt more at home like this than he did in the suit that'd been so perfectly crafted for his body. It was her body that filled all his spaces, no one else.
Sliding his hands along her sides, Dick moved to cup at her breasts. He took the weight of them in his hands to hold and give gentle pressure to while his fingers intricately worked her nipples.]
Your body is so beautiful. Fuck. I just want to taste every inch of you.
[Leaning over he pulled a nipple into his mouth and sucked at it, lapping at the tiny little nub until he was certain she could feel every tug at her core-- only then did he release it and do the same thing to the other side.]
[Dawn sighs softly when she feels Dick's hands reach her breasts which while not huge are certainly ample enough to fill his hands and when he starts to roll her nipples between his fingers she feels a pleasant tingle go down her spine.
A tingle that increases when he dips his head to suck and lick at them and she bites her lower lip to try and keep herself from moaning. Her nipples have always been sensitive and somehow Dick has always known the exact amount of pressure to use with hands or tongue to make her squirm.]
Every inch?
[She teases, digging her hands into his hair so she can tug his mouth and face away from her breasts to look her in the face for a moment.]
Even my knees and elbows?
[She asks playfully and then pulls him up for another kiss, her tongue curling into his mouth to taste him.]
Or are you just thinking about my pussy? [She whispers against his lips.]
[If there was a complaint to be had, it wasn't going to be made by him. Dawn's body was a perfect wonder and all that he ever needed to make him happy. There's so many things that he wanted to do in order to hear her moan and cry out. There's a discord between head and heart right now, because all that he wants and what he feels like he needs are two different things.
Part of him wants to pleasure every inch of her body, including those elbows and knees. ]
My love, I'd kiss your elbows and knees without a second thought, but not tonight. I think tonight I want to be with you more. I also will spend quite a bit with my tongue in your pussy making you drip for me. After, after I bury myself in you again. I need to make love to you. I want to be with you, be inside you again.
[Leaning in for another kiss, he runs his hand down between them and feels between her legs, pressing over the pants she's wearing, sliding the side of his hand between her thighs and against her core. Nipping at her lip, he grins and only kisses her more firmly, ensuring that she has no lingering thoughts about how deeply committed he is to this. It's been so long, and he honestly can't wait to feel his body pressed tight inside her. ]
[The area between her legs is flushed with arousal, so much that when he slips his hand between them it's almost hot to the touch and she moans into the kiss. Opening her mouth to both tease and encourage him, her kisses turning more eager and hungry and instead of opening her legs more she crosses them, trapping his hand in place as she rocks her hips. Creating a delicious kind of friction.]
[Groaning at her words, Dick moves his hands back up and this times slides his hands down inside her pants. He has to touch her. It's her fault -- really, she was talking about how much she missed his hands. Sliding down her flat stomach, he slips two fingers between her slick folds. It's amazing how wet she already is. His mouth moans deeply against hers.
Already his cock is throbbing, and he can feel another pulse pull at the ache between his legs when he realizes that this is all his doing. This is for him, and no one else. Tonight is about her and him, and there's no one else in the world that he has to think about. Dipping a finger inside her, he runs it in and out a few times, tapping lightly against that spot inside her before moving out to her clit. He runs his finger in gentle circles around the swollen nub. ]
Fuck, you are so wet, and ready. Will you come like this?
[He whispers the words as he runs his finger around gently, working her up. He lays beside her, his knee pressing hers up slightly to open her up for him so that he has a good angle to work her clit with. He knows she wants that friction, but he desires to give her a better build up, one that he creates. He dips inside her now and then, teasing, pressing in deep to fuck her with his fingers as he will soon with so much more.]
[Dawn makes a little disappointed noise when Dick removes his hand from between her legs but a second later he is pushing it down her pants and underwear and touching her bare, wet pussy and she clutches at him. Moaning as he dips a finger inside.]
Do you want me to?
[She counters as her hips begin to work against his hand, forcing his finger deeper inside. She's already wet but if he keeps up his finger fucking she's going to be dripping pretty soon.]
[He can't help but moan at the way she looks at him. All her pleasure focused directly on him, with the knowledge that he is helping her get there is incredible. Slowly he starts to remove her pants and then her panties with his free hand. He can't stop moving the one that's focused on her pussy. That's tagging inside her deep and then coming out to roll around her clit now and then.
As she begins to roll against him Dick nods. ]
Come for me baby, and then I'm all yours. I want to make you come before I take you, once now and then again. I want you to feel twice the pleasure I do. You deserve it all.
[His own pants are shuffled away, and it's obvious how hard he is. The outline of him against his boxer briefs straight and already dripping with excitement. He begins to breathe with her, stroking her hair back as he whispers to her, encouraging her to come for him, because he can't wait to be with her again.]
[She tries to help as best she can with removing her pants and underwear but it's hard with his other hand working inside her and soon she just gives up and instead lays next to him and lets him pleasure her.]
Just twice?
[Another tease before she shifts closer so she can kiss and touch him as his finger continues to plunge inside her and eventually she feels the start of her orgasm, it rolls through her body and she cries out softly as her inner muscles tighten and squeeze against his fingers.]

It is not a torrid love affair. It's not an affair at all since we're both single.
