💢A YEAR LATER... 💢
Raven twisted on the bed, changing her position, her eyes slowly fluttering open, and a smile permanently etched on her features. She felt Mikhail's firm, large hands slowly wrap around her taut belly, pulling her to him, and placing light feathery kisses from behind her, down a path from her neck to her shoulder blades. It's been a year. A year of enjoying this... Being in his arms...
"Ouch!" Raven suddenly jerks on reflex, when the last of his petting kisses turned to a sharp prick, just right at the smooth contour of her shoulder blades and neck. What the hell? He'd bitten her? Fuck, that was definitely going to leave a hickey and she'd initially wanted to pin her hair up today.
"Wake up little wench. I know you're not sleeping" his breathy voice resounded right behind her ears, as she felt him leave another hickey there.
She tensed again in his arms. The guy sure needed to learn to tell a girl when he was about to literally bite her, before he killed her from unexpected jumping and heart attack!
"Mikhail if you insist on leaving bite marks all over my skin, I might have to insist on leaving some of my own on you as well" Raven dished out the scathing rejoinder smoothly, as she turned in his arms, to face him, already giving up her initial ruse of pretending to be asleep
"Oh you'd have no objections coming from me Miss. Edens. The question is, why haven't you done so yet?" he teases as he leans down to kiss her properly. Her arms moved to wrap around his neck and then sink into his long shoulder-length hair, as she gingerly returns his kisses with the emboldened fervency of her own. His tongue intertwined with hers, stroking, petting, battling for dominance and winning it, as his hands journeyed down to cup her round, shapely buttocks, grasping both cheeks tightly, through the already flimsy nightgown that she wore.
"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you?" She finally replied, smiling, when he was done kissing her thoroughly "But sadly we can't all be wild cavemen and women who go about putting hickeys on innocent victims. Ha! Is that even a thing? A hickey criminal? Well if that was a thing, you'd be their first case study eh?" Raven joked, nudging him with her elbow
"Oh you've become quite the garrulous one haven't you, Raven? I see I've been slack in my...handling of you. Peharps a lesson is in order" he disclosed, an evil smirk making its way to his lips
"What? I haven't even said anything wrong! You do actually give me hickeys all the time! My body's filled with them!" Raven protested, laughing
"Yes I do, don't I? Especially from last night?" he reminded her with a smirk, both brows up
"Yes, especially from last night! Whenever you do that wicked stuff with your tongue...Arggggh! Now this is getting weird. Remind me, why are we discussing this again? Whatever happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom, although we're technically still... In the bedroom" She palmed her head, laughing at her own bland joke. This was what happiness did to you. You make stupid jokes and laugh at them, in front of the guy you loved. Or at least it was what it did to her.
"We're discussing this, because you brought it up. And said I act like a caveman" he brought her back to the conversation, tracing circles on her thigh.
"No, you know what I mean! You obviously know I didn't mean it that way..."
"No, I don't obviously know anything, little one" he insisted, with a feigned hurt expression
"Stop it, yes you do." she nudged his shoulders this time around "Besides, even if you were a caveman, you'd be my caveman. Plus, to suit your ego, you and I both know that you also just happen to be a billionaire, a really rich one at that, and my boss. Or more accurately put, my boss's boss's boss." she laughed out, lazily stroking his beards, and placing a kiss at his jaw
"Fine, I get the point. But my hickeys little one, are not without reason or cause. They're meant to keep the fiends away. The fools who still dream of bedding you even when you've been marked inevitably as mine." "he chided, his hands going dangerously up her thighs
"And here I thought the hickeys were simply meant to be signs of your love and affection" She shook her head, cocking a brow at him, as her hands reached down and stopped the onslaught of his hands, before they went any further up.
"They are signs of my love and affection little one. Because I do love you Raven, with all my heart. Never forget that. But they are also meant as obvious signs to the rest of the world, of just how far I'm willing to go, to make you solely mine and keep you that way. You do have that public thing coming up sometime soon don't you? So at least when your directors see it, they know whose you are. Whose you belong to. And you belong to me Raven. Never forget that. Because I don't joke with it" his expression instantly turned serious, as he stressed each and every sentence, staring right into her eyes.
