Raven looked like her name sounded, sleek and dark haired. She was tiny, five feet tall with everything in the right place. Her hair was as straight as a board and as black as midnight, making her pale skin look like alabaster. Her face was very striking, her nose thin and regal looking. Lips full and pouty, usually painted some shade of dark red. Her eyes were what one noticed immediately when you met Raven, then her breasts.
Raven had large breast's upon her otherwise thin frame. You felt the urge to cup her asscheeks in you hands when she turned to walk away from you. Two perfectly round globes of flesh that swayed in a hypnotic way when she walked. Her eye's were green. Bright and intelligent looking, as they peered out at you intently. Raven had no idea of the impact her looked caused others. Oh, she was aware that men found her attractive and had never suffered for a date when she was available, but it had been a long while since she had played the 'dating game.'
Raven lived with her boyfriend, Joe, and had lived with him for ten years. They were comfortable in their relationship, more like old friends then lovers. It had gotten to the point that they had very little in common anymore. He worked in construction and was away on jobs a lot for the last couple of years. Raven went about doing her own thing in his absence. They had grown apart and neither had noticed it yet.
Raven loved to work outdoors and her yard showed the love she felt for plants. Everywhere you looked were flowers and greenery. Her roses bloomed in a rainbow of color, delighting the eye.
When she worked in her yard, Raven wore cut-off shorts and little tank tops in the summer months. Her legs were tan and strong looking in the cut-offs. She tied her hair back in a ponytail while she dug, clipped and cared for her plants and yard while her tank top fit tightly against her tits and clearly outlined her nipples under the thin material. When she moved or walked, they jiggled in a wonderful way.
As she worked outside, Raven thought about her life with Joe. She was starting to notice he seemed discontent with things in their life. He had made some unkind remarks towards her lately and she was trying to figure out just what his problem was. Maybe they needed to discuss their relationship and see what might be done to make it better. She loved Joe, at least she thought it was love. She frowned as she thought about this...was it love? Or something else...he was getting pretty weird with her lately...like he had a problem with her being around.
Raven picked up a rake and went to the outside of their fenced yard, next to the street, and began raking the leaves into a pile. Her body worked on autopilot while she thought about other things. At first she didn't notice her neighbor out in his yard watching. She heard her name and looked up to see him waving. Raven didn't know the man, he had come over a few times to use the phone when Joe was there, but she'd never spoken to him. He didn't live in the house he owned, he had rented it out in the past, but it'd been empty for months now.
The neighbor called out to Raven, "C'mon over for a minute..." With the rake still in her hand, Raven walked up the street to see what the guy wanted. She laughed when he greeted her with "Now your the kind of neighbor everybody should have, one that comes prepared to work." His yard was full of leaves and he was eying the rake she carried.
They stood making small talk and Raven laughed at his jokes. The man's name was Ben, and he was there working on his property. He told her that the last renters had all but destroyed the house.
Suddenly Ben called out loudly to a passing car, "Hey Joe!." Raven turned in time to see Joe's face as the car passed and he was looking straight at her. He was sitting shotgun in the car and Raven saw there were two guys in the back seat and another car following with several more of his friends in it. The two cars pulled up at the house and the men got out. Joe was facing Ben's house and yelled loudly, "What are you trying to do Ben, get some pussy?" Raven couldn't believe her ears! Ben replied to the question with, "Why? You giving some away?" The men laughed at the exchange. Raven was embarrassed and angry at the same time. "Nice talk'n to you," she told Ben as she turned and quickly walked the short distance back to her house. She glared at Joe as she passed him and his buddies.
Things between Joe and Raven seemed to go downhill after that afternoon. Their relationship was in the 'danger zone.' They started to argue quite often, which moved Raven to lose her temper and move out of the bedroom they shared. An invisible wall stood between them and in loneliness, Raven approached Ben one day when Joe was out of town. She had caught him on a number of occasions, watching her work in the yard. It made her feel odd, knowing she was being watched but at the same time it excited her in some way she couldn't define.
"Hello Ben, how are you?" Raven ask her watchful neighbor. "Better now that a pretty lady is in my yard." Ben replied with a big smile, while his eyes swept over Raven, lingering at the vee between her legs. At least that's how it felt to Raven.
"Would you like to come inside and talk a bit while I finish some work I'm doing in the kitchen?" Ben ask, then waited for Raven's response. "Uh...sure, I guess so..." Raven stammered like a school kid. She realized that she felt an attraction towards Ben and was amazed at herself. For some reason she felt a need to be there right then. It was confusing and sort of scary and interesting all mixed, that she felt too. She was curious as to what would happen if she dared to go inside with Ben. Well, she decided she'd just find out...
