with one last move he had me coming again, harder than I thought humanly possible.

“YES DRAVEN, AHHHHH!” I also couldn't help the screaming of his name that escaped, followed by a moan as I turned my head into the pillow crushing it against my face to contain any more screams. I tried to contain it all but it was just too much. It was as if something was bursting from within me and had grown to such a fever pitch that it would have killed me if not released in the most brutal of ways. I was like a woman possessed as my body bowed up and down, all the while screaming with every aftershock and wave that wouldn't stop hitting my body. I bit down on the material and my hands gripped the covers wanting to rip them to pieces. It lasted for the longest time until finally the euphoria enveloped my senses making my body collapse from the arching and fighting my muscles had been doing against his control.

I still had my face buried in the pillow trying to catch my breath, as I was exhausted both physically and mentally. That was without a shadow of doubt the greatest sexual encounter I had ever experienced. Which also meant I did need extra time to come back to earth from it.

I vaguely remember feeling something soft gently wiping me down below and I shuddered with the contact to my sensitive core. I could hear whispered endearments all the while but could make no sense of them though the clouded haze of ecstasy. When finished I felt his hand smooth back my hair exposing one side of my face. He was lying down next to me on his side and he pulled the covers over me cooling my hot skin. He put his arms around me, lifting my head on to his shoulder resting it against his chest. I could feel his heartbeat and the rhythm was making me drift away, until his voice was the last thing I heard,

“Sleep now my little one” And I didn't have a problem with this command as falling asleep in his arms just added to the immense bliss...

When I awoke the light streamed through my room brighter than ever before. I only had one window but the light filled the room making my eyes squint as they tried to adjust to the sun. My bed also felt strange and my body ached like I had spent the night running. Suddenly the events of last night shot through my mind and I nearly jumped at the body that moved next to me.

Last night we had made the most perfect love together, that much I was certain and I knew that it most definitely hadn't been a dream as I don't usually wake up to find him lying next to me. I froze not wanting to wake him but I wondered what I should do now. I could see my top and a bra but nothing else so getting out of bed was out of the question. I leaned gently round the bed to try and locate anything else I had been wearing last night before Draven had expertly removed it. I noticed a t-shirt, which he had been wearing, that was within reach as it was still on the bed by the bottom near one of the trunk like posts.

I managed to get to it without moving the bed enough to wake him up. I slid the top over my head remembering my hair that probably looked like it was a home for woodland animals! I couldn’t help but lift the material to my face and I inhaled his scent as the memories came flooding back of last night’s escapades. The smell had me wanting to groan out loud.

“It looks better on you,” Draven said and I shot round to find him fully awake and leaning on his side propped up by his elbow. He was smiling and I went bright red. I didn't know what to say so I started biting on my lip nervously.

“Quiet this morning Keira...any reason for that?” He said being cocky and a cheeky grin that I had never seen before broke out on his lips. Then he grabbed the t-shirt I was wearing gripping the fabric into a bunch with his fist. He pulled me back to his arms and soon the scent of the t-shirt was nothing compared to the real thing.

“Morning,” was all I could say,
