His eyes widened, but I continued to nibble on his lips, and when I got no response, I pulled away from the kiss, but then I felt Azrael hold my cheeks gently.
"Raven, you can't pull away so suddenly," he mumbled, and my lips parted to protest, but his lips crashed onto mine, hungry and rough, yet still strangely gentle.
He kissed me hard and long, and by the time his lips finally parted from mine, my lips were swollen while he still stared down at them intensely.
"Goodnight," I whispered softly and gently poked his cheek.
My hand slipped onto Ryker's tail, and I fell asleep instantly.
The next morning, I rubbed my sleepy eyes a few times until I could finally see the room clearly.
My body felt energized....Perhaps seeing Liora alive and safe yesterday had given me such a peaceful sleep.
Just when I was processing everything, the scent of beef hit the air alongside warm stew.
I sniffed, and my eyes sparkled brightly.
