"Raum?" I flipped around to find a mouth crashing against mine in the dark. A heavy weight pressed me down into the mattress, the familiar masculine scent filling my nose.
I tore my mouth from his, emotion welling up inside of me like a volcano. "Raum! You're awake!"
"I knew you were there," he said brusquely, his lips against mine. "I couldn't wake up but I felt you next to me the whole time."
Unable to hold it together any longer, I burst into tears. All my fear of losing him came out in ragged, shaky breaths.
"I thought I was going to lose you," I hiccuped, sobbed, and gasped for breath. "I didn't know what I'd do..."
Raum calmly shushed me as he lowered himself next to me, holding me against his chest and rubbing my back as I came apart at the seams. My hands never stopped moving, tracing the contours of his arms, his face, feeling his heartbeat and his breath to make sure he was really here.
"You really love my old shithead self that much?" he asked, the telltale smirk in his voice.
"Yes," I insisted, releasing a shaky breath. "You piss me off and make me so fucking worried but goddamn, I love you so much."
"And I love you." His stubble grazed my cheek. "I'll take an angel's kiss for you any day of the week."
"Don't say that!" A wave of fresh tears rose to the surface and I choked out a sob.
"Sorry, baby." He brushed my tears away with his thumbs. "Bad joke. You don't have to worry any more, I'm here now. Right as rain, thanks to you and Ash."
Hearing his name reminded me of the warning Ash gave right after we both put all of our energy into healing him.
"Raum." I cupped his face despite barely being able to see him in the dark. "Have you tested your powers? Ash said there was a risk of you losing your abilities."
My answer came within seconds when the sexy stubble beneath my hands became sleek feathers. Laughing with relief, I put Raven-Raum down and watched his dark bird form hop across the bed.
See? Right as rain.He pecked me affectionately.
"Ow! Alright then, birdbrain." I smirked. "Turn back to human now and have your way with me."
He shifted back, somehow in perfect position with his legs between mine so I straddled his hips. The kiss he lowered to me was hungry and demanding, while still slow and sensual. I melted helplessly under his touch and slid my legs higher up his waist, drawing him toward my core.
"Your third of three visitors will come soon," he murmured, kissing slowly down my throat.
"Oh?" I slid my fingers under the waistband of his shorts and slowly dragged them down, savoring his body heat on my palms. "So Seth was the first?"
I didn’t need to ask about Juno. She met her tragic end, so Seth was the one who would end happily? Or more likely the “depends who you ask”, whatever that meant.
"Mm-hm." He peeled my leggings away, pressing kisses to my lower belly. "You should be nicer to him."
"Wait, what?" I lifted my head in surprise but his tongue drew a long, burning hot line from the bottom to the top of my pussy, rendering both of us useless for any comprehensible words.
My fingers curled against his scalp as he devoured me, humming with delight against my sensitive flesh. Every time my thighs drew inward to close around his head, he spread them apart again with a firm grip. He enjoyed me at his own pace, alternating between soft teasing of my clit and rough fucking with his fingers. My heart raced in my chest and my breathing came out in short little puffs whenever he began steadily building me to orgasm, but then he switched it up at the last moment.
The fucker knew exactly what he was doing. I loved and hated him for it.
"Please, Raum." I knew I'd get punished for begging but didn't care.
"Greedy baby," he scolded, delivering a light slap to my inner thigh that stole a breath and sent tingles straight to my clit.
"Please, it's too much," I whimpered. "I need to come."
"Who was the one close to death and knocked out for two days?" he teased, brushing a kiss in the crease between my thigh and pelvis. "I'm gonna take my time here."
"So selfish," I huffed, knowing that didn't make any sense considering he was going down on me. It was my frustration talking.
"Oh, you wanna see selfish?"
