Cyn had left a soft light burning on the bureau top She’d left it for hih she knew he didn’t need it It had more to do with her heart than her head, which was the same reason he left it on when he secured the vault and headed for their bed HeThere was no natural light in their underground suite, no s to announce the rising sun But he didn’t need that either He knew the sun’s progress across the sky better than any astrono when he saw that she slept clothed, rather than naked as they usually did Although she was not wearing clothes soto her breasts, outlining them in exquisite detail, and a pair of tiny panties that only served to heighten his desire If she’d intended these things to repel his advances, she’d failedan ar himself around her sleepy, human warmth She er, and too accusto, he slid one hand along her silky skin, beneath the stretchy tank top, filling his hand with a full breast and his fingers with a plu her pretty ass into his groin and rubbing gently against his rapidly hardening cock He growled low in his throat as his hunger for her surged along with his erection It had been a long night and they had not parted on the best of terms He wanted to bury himself inside her, wanted to er with possession He was Va his head, he kissed her temple, her jaw, but softly so as not to wake her Not yet She stirred slightly, but only to cuddle deeper into his e his guile skin, hit him like an anvil She was his She would always be his and no other’s

He rolled her nipple between his thuentle e his hand down across her flat belly to the velvety ss The tiny bit of lace she’d worn in a halfhearted attempt to dissuade hi it down to lay tangled against one thigh He changed his attack then, slipping his fingers into her fro her skin as he slid them in and out until she et and ready for him
But Cyn didn’t wait for hih forward in invitation, spreading her legs and pressing her ass against hier for the feel of his cock inside her She whispered his naain, but full of need this tiers reaching back to grasp his cock, rousing hier
Raphael brushed her hand aside, taking hold of his shaft and positioning it at the very entrance to her plush, heated core, sliding forward until he was just inside her, feeling the grip of her inner walls as she flexed against hiroaned a protest, stirring fitfully within his ar
