Their lips touched again, setting off the spark once more. Forgetting all else, they began to lose themselves in each other. Robin gently laid Raven on his bed and leaned over her, staring at her without the constraint of his mask. She was so beautiful, in an unassuming, quiet way. All he wanted to do right then was touch her, feel her, understand her. All of her. He stroked her silky hair and then her soft cheek. "Raven," he whispered as he lowered his lips to hers again.

As his lips slid from her mouth, to her jaw, to her neck, Raven thought to herself. This was just as she'd imagined it; all she'd ever wanted was for someone – him – to treat her like she was something special. Just once. And his hands on her body, her face, her hair, were gentle. Tender. Yet she could feel his passion building; she felt a connection to him, like she experienced his every emotion with him. This would not only be a joining of their bodies. There was a bond between them, she knew it. And this was just the beginning.

She gasped as his tongue slid out to run along the slim column of her neck. "Robin," she breathed, her hands snaking up his arms and around his neck. He chuckled softly. "Should I do that again?" he murmured.

"Robin..."

His tongue darted out again, but this time he sucked on her neck, making her gasp again. "And how about up here?" He moved up to her ear, his tongue slipping behind it. Then he moved a little lower, taking her whole lobe into his mouth, sucking gently. Raven groaned. Robin chuckled.

"Enough." Raven pushed him off her and sat up. Then she pulled him towards her by the hem of his shirt. "Lift your arms." He did, and she pulled it over his head. Then, placing a hand in the middle of his chest, she pushed him down onto the bed. For a moment, she admired his bare, well-muscled torso. His arms were thick and corded with muscle; his abdomen was firm and taut, the ripples gently outlining a six pack. She sighed with admiration. Having looked her fill, she leaned over him, bringing her lips close to his, but not touching. She felt his breath tickle her cheek, exciting her. She looked boldly into his eyes and, never breaking eye contact, lowered her head to kiss his chest. She let her tongue dart out, like his had, and she ran it slowly all the way down his abdomen, right down to the top of his pants. She started to repeat this in the other direction, but Robin groaned and pulled her up to him. He kissed her with unchecked passion now, and she revelled in it.

It had now grown dark outside, though they had not noticed being fully focused on one another. And nothing diverted their attention as they moved together in the darkness, connected to each other in more ways than one. When it was over and their passion was spent, they laid together for a while, arms wrapped around each other, Raven's head resting on his shoulder. His hand slid softly up and down her arm in a tender caress. She sighed in contentment. Tilting her head back, she looked up at him, smiling sensuously. He smiled back, his hand never stopping its unconscious movement on her arm.

Neither really knew what to say, or wanted to say anything that would spoil the moment; everything was different now. The rest of the team would be home soon, and they would have to be told the new relationship he and Rae had.

After a while, Robin said, "So, what happens now?"

Raising herself on an elbow, Raven looked at him searchingly. "You tell me."

He stroked her cheek thoughtfully. "Well, we'll have to tell the rest of the team that we're... more than friends. They have to know. Ah, Starfire will have a fit." He said the last part almost to himself.

Raven froze. He caught her expression and frowned. "What's the matter?"

She stared at him, not believing that he could do this with her if he was with Starfire. "You – and – Starfire -?" she gasped out. Panic rose up in her throat, choking her. Surely not, surely he wouldn't! She saw when he understood what she meant; his face cleared, he shook his head.

"Oh, no, Rae, she thinks we're going out, no matter how much I tell her that we're not. All I said is that we could go to a movie sometime! I meant all of us, not just her and me." He sounded exasperated.

The panic in her throat suddenly stopped, then sank back down. She swallowed. "You're... you're kidding, right?"

She said softly. "That's really quite funny. Did you know, the day I went missing, Star came into my room and told me that you had asked her out. I freaked because I knew that I was falling in love with you. So I left; I sat by the lake for hours, meditating. As I was about to leave, Sl- someone..." she trailed off, not wanting to give anything away.

"Yes?" he urged. "Someone grabbed you?"

"You know, I can't really remember." She said. "But isn't it funny that I left because of that? It all could have been avoided." She lapsed into thoughtful silence.

After a while, she looked up at him. "Robin," she murmured. "Thank you for showing me your eyes. Your real eyes."

He looked at her thoughtfully. "You know, you didn't seem very surprised to see my eyes. Did you expect them to be green, or something? I could've sworn you'd seen me without it before."

"Well, actually..." Raven's voice stopped in her throat. Coldness swept up over her. The colour drained from her face as she sat up slowly, Robin's arm that had been curled around her falling away. "Raven? Are you alright?"

No. She wasn't. How could she have forgotten? She looked fearfully up to the corner of the room she had once looked from on a computer screen. And there it was; a tiny little camera, one you wouldn't see unless you were looking for it. "Oh God." She moaned. "No!"

"Rae? What's wrong?" she felt Robin's hand on her back.

Had he been watching? Had he seen what they'd done in this bed? Cold dread rose up over her, swallowing her.

If God had any mercy...

"Oh Robin, I am a fool." She whispered, her head bowed.
