Welcome to Gaia! ::

The kiss to his cheek seemed to bring him back around, white eyes focusing back on Riyo as she spoke. Yeah that was probably an understatement. It really all centered around how someone defined ‘a lot’ and in this case Titus felt the term ‘******** ton’ was better suited. He had a ******** ton to learn.

He wasn’t sure what was going to happen next but it seemed this time Riyo had everything under control. Her hands had found their way to the bottom on his shirt and a pleasant chill hit him as soon as her fingers touched his skin. Standing as still as possible he waited to see what the ghoul was going to do, feeling her hand trace its way up his torso until it came to rest against his chest.

His heart probably felt like it was ready to beat its way from his rib cage. It was hard enough that his bruised ribs gave a small amount of protest but he ignored them. Instead he soaked up the moment, drawing his still gloved hand back to place over the hand under his shirt. “That feels nice.”

He sighed with contentment, closing his eyes and focusing the feel of her hands touching him. There were other places he would have enjoyed as well but this was definitely a good first step. “Do..you want me to take my shirt off?” He figured he would ask since Riyo flipped out about like he normally did around ghouls and skimpy outfits.

While he waited for her reply his hand that was still rested against her side began to lightly stroke her skin, his body building up the need to touch her all over again. If only she knew how aroused this was making him, she would probably high tail it out of here.

He had opened his eyes just in time to see the nod as her reply. When she didn’t change her mind Titus drew back his hands and began to undo his buttons one at a time. He was careful about it, slow, taking his time until he was finally at the last one. When he was done he shrugged the shirt off his shoulders and down his arms and set it beside Riyo on the crate. It exposed the rather impressive amount of bruising on his side. He wasn’t lying when he said he had a few bruised ribs. A large portion of his right side was purple, trailing up and following the path of his rib cage.

Before his hands moved back to Riyo Titus looked at the last remaining glove on his hand and finally removed it, loosening the tip of each finger first before pulling the glove off and putting it in his pocket along with the other one. He ran his thumb over the tips of the fingers of his newly exposed hand, much like he had done last time.

Now half undressed he started back toward Riyo, his hands reaching out toward her only to pause and hesitate as she asked her own question in turn. Titus’ immediate response was to blush, despite having done so well up until this point. It was just a difficult mental hurdle to jump passed but after he swallowed hard and took a deep breath he nodded. He had come this far why back down.

Titus thought Riyo had taken things pretty well though she had managed to look away after a moment. He wanted to draw her head back around but she soon started with her own shirt and now it was Titus’ turn to try and cope with the idea. He swallowed hard at the lump in his throat, trying to keep his nerves in check eyes intently focused on what the feline was doing.

New ground was being discovered this day and Titus felt like he might actually be ready. He could do this. There was a sudden spike in his body temperature when he got a teasing glimpse of her stomach bracing himself for more but Riyo paused and looked around. Titus, of course, hadn’t heard anything but looked around as well but saw nothing. Maybe she was just nervous and hearing things?

It only took a couple of seconds for Riyo to continue, giving him a brief look before her shirt started to move higher. His breathing increased when he saw the red bra lined with delicate black lace and his lower half gave its own version of approval. Shifting almost uncomfortably now as his pants became a little tight in certain areas he waited for Riyo to pull the shirt over her head, doing his best to keep his hands to himself in the meantime. He wanted so badly to touch her, feel the soft skin that had just been bared to him.

Riyo was struggling to get the top over her head when something moved, this time catching Titus’ attention. He wanted to ignore it, pretend it hadn’t just happened but he didn’t even have to move his head to get a glimpse of someone standing not far off. Eyes going a little wide he felt his libido shrivel to nothing. Yep, that did it. He should have waited and got them back to school.

He wanted to say something but instead reached toward Riyo, grabbing the hem of her shirt before she managed to pull it over her head and began to pull it back down her body in a hurry, all the while staring at the figure ahead of him. When her shirt was in place he quickly lifted her off the crate and back onto the floor before she had time to question what was happening. “Time to go…” He whispered.

Titus had missed the hurt in Riyo’s eyes; his were currently focused on the figure until whoever it was ducked out of sight. His eyes darted all over the place trying to catch a glimpse of the person again reaching for Riyo’s arm as he moved toward the door but ended up being passed his shirt instead. “Someone’s here.”

The voice came soon after and Titus was then able to zero in on the figure, obviously a man, who had neatly sat himself on a crate not far away. The demon was able to make out features now but it really didn’t give him much of a clue as to who this guy was. Only that he was feline and had a very disapproving look about his face. To counter Titus returned the look with a glare, teeth bared as the corner of his mouth pulled back in an angry fashion.

“Shove it up your a**, it’s none of your business.” The demon spat. Though likely it was true. If Titus had even lunch money to his name he would probably consider a hotel. That and it seemed impossible to get an ounce of privacy anywhere. His bad luck with this sort of thing was really discouraging.

“Riyo?” Titus cast a glance at the feline hoping to get her attention, though there was a strange expression on her face. It was like she had seen a ghost. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”

Okay, Titus didn’t know who this asshat thought he was but Titus sure as hell knew that this was none of his business and that was on principle. “What? Your business because we stumbled on your hobo lair? You’re probably not supposed to be here either. Sure a boogeyman would love a tip off.”

He wasn’t sure why the man had repeated Riyo’s name but decided to ignore it and head out. Too bad Riyo was spouting such nonsense like he should go. Well, yeah duh. They both needed to go. “I know let’s get out of here.”

Then Riyo turned to face the approaching figure and there was a word drop that Titus had not expected. Father? FATHER?! Hold up this raggedy old man? Titus stared hard picking up on some of the similar features but it was still a hard conclusion to come to. “This geezer is your father?” Maybe he was still a tad upset about the sudden spoiled moment but he wasn’t about to play nice.

Titus was getting no answers. Riyo was getting no answers. Basically this was a wild ride and no one had a hold of the ******** wheel. The demon cringed a bit when the man called Riyo princess. Not so much because it was offensive but because he was now going to have to cross that off the list of things to ever call Riyo again. It was just going to taste bad in his mouth and from the look he got from the feline shortly after Titus was pretty sure if he so much as uttered it again he would probably be on the receiving end of whatever was about to happen to the old man.

He watched those slender, now bleeding fingers, take up a two by four and had a pretty good feeling for what was coming. Just to be safe Titus took a step back to give Riyo plenty of space to work with. For once an ounce of wisdom graced the demon’s head and he remained quiet so that the feline didn’t turn the two by four on him instead. He was already bruised he didn’t want to add to the injury.

This was certainly some quality family bonding time. Titus didn’t have much to say about anything up until the man made a point to question Riyo’s choices when looking in his direction. “
