door unlocked and walked into her apartment. After closing the door, Cara gasped at the scene before her. An arrangement of roses sat on every table. The largest on her eating table had more than three-dozen pink roses mixed with baby’s breath, her favorite color. She walked over and buried her nose in a bloom, smelling deeply. She loved fragrant roses. Picking out the card, she opened it and read the message scrawled in Raven’s firm hand: I love you, please talk to me. What a romantic gesture. Of course, it looked as if Raven went a little overboard, or was desperate. It was kind of nice to think he might be desperate.
She walked over to the red-rose arrangement on her coffee table. Picking up the card, she read: Please talk to me, I need you. She put the card down and moved to the arrangement of yellow roses on the end table. The card read: Call me, I will come. I love you.
Sighing, Cara slipped off her shoes. Then, picking them up, she walked into her bedroom. Her bed was strewn with rose petals. An arrangement of blush roses sat on her nightstand, and when she looked into the bathroom, an arrangement of purple roses sat on the edge of her tub.
She smiled as she put her shoes in the closet and went into the bathroom to draw a bath. She picked out some bubble bath and poured it in the hot water. Then, she lit some candles and slipped off her clothes. Before stepping into the bathwater, she picked up one of the purple roses and pulled off the petals. She let them float in the bubbles as she sat down in the water. Releasing her hair from the elastic tie, she leaned back and closed her eyes.
Raven? she called across space and time. She felt the cool breeze of Shadow blow across her skin and smiled. Raven must have been waiting for her call and walked through Shadow immediately. When warm hands moved her hair to the side and began to massage her shoulders, she sighed. Raven always knew right where to touch her. He feathered kisses to her shoulders as he massaged the stress of the day away.
I missed you, tehila, gently floated into her mind. Cara liked how he kept their speech intimate and quiet.
What does that mean? tehila?
It means, Love. I love you, Cara, I can’t say it enough. Raven slowly reached for the sea sponge on the side of the tub and pressed the warm water from its center. Then, he began to wash her arms and chest, circling and teasing her breasts and her stomach beneath the water. Cara let tingles of arousal shoot through her system. Yes, she wanted him. She had missed him, missed his touch.
Moving around to the side, Raven lifted each foot and washed it with the sponge. Then, he moved up her calf to her thighs, hips, and her pelvis, teasing and tantalizing her skin with the sponge. When he was finished, Cara felt herself shivering in reaction. Every touch only inflamed her need.
Raven lifted a bath sheet and held it ready to engulf her. Come, let’s get you dry.
Cara slowly rose from the water, letting the bubbles gradually slide down her skin. She watched Raven’s eyes darken with passion and desire. She felt like Venus rising from the ocean. Raven stepped forward and wrapped the towel around her and then lifted her into his arms and carried her into the bedroom.
He lay her down on the bed and reached up to unbutton his shirt. After he shrugged the shirt to the floor, he undid his pants and let them fall. He was fully erect, his shaft hard and glistening. Cara felt another moment of triumph. She had caused that reaction.
He stepped forward, and Cara sat up and reached out to take him with her hand. He was velvet over steel. His skin so soft, but rigid underneath, a drop of pre-cum forming on the head. Cara rubbed her thumb through the moisture and circled the top, causing Raven to shudder.
Release me, baby. I want this to last. Let me love you, Raven sent, pulling her hand free and laying her back on the bed. He followed her down, covering her body, his thigh parting her legs. He leaned down and kissed her breast, lightly licking at the water drops and then nipping, before taking her nipple into his mouth. He sucked and circled the little nubbin
