41 CHAPTER 40

The strong beam of sunlight pierced through the huge glass window and shone over her face as Anna groaned under her breath.

It's hot.

Very hot

She stirred around but could hardly move. A weight held her down, gripping her tight. She could hardly open her eyes due to the bright light but when she blinked them open, they travelled down her body on their own. A muscular arm was circled around her hips while the other one was around her chest and she could feel every vein of that hand because she was. . .naked.

Jesus!

She gasped gingerly . Oh good Lord, I never thought I would wake up to a scene like this. Am I dreaming?

She tried to loosen herself from his iron grip, slowly wiggling out and almost made it when he pulled her down in his sleep. She relaxed her muscles and turned her head to look at him. Long lashes kissed his cheek bone while his lips were drawn into a thin pout.

Wow! This is a view.

He was still asleep. Slowly shifting on her side, she tried to undo his grip around her body. And after multiple failed attempts of setting herself free, she closed her eyes, drowning in the warmth of his body.

Why is he always so hot? And he's still wearing his shirt.

She quietly smiled, enjoying the early morning silence with mind focused on the man behind her when out of nowhere, the memories of last night decided to pop up. His face, his voice and his eyes... the desire that pooled in them and the depth of his words, all did indescribable things to her body. She flushed at the thoughts but it never ceased.

His lips that went grazing along her skin, which touched every inch of her that was exposed to him. The way he fondled with and kneaded her breasts. How warm his mouth was around her sensitive buds and how sweet his torture felt. But he did not go any further.

Although she wanted more. More of his touches, his lips, of him but could not say anything when his fingers hooked under the band of her panties and said, "I would love to tear this off you and see how fucking ready you are for me." He lowered his mouth to her ears. "But only after I make you mine."

She was so confused, but the things that he had already done to her were still flooding fresh in her mind, so when he laid down with her and pulled the sheets over them, she fell asleep almost immediately.

Anna was cruelly snapped out of her reverie when Raven stirred in his sleep. His hand on her bare chest was not helping the situation at all as his fingers unintentionally grazed her nipples.

And they obviously hardened. Anna tried to calm her breathing, lips swelling under the pressure of her teeth biting them down. Her breath hitched, when his deep ass morning voice tickled behind her ears.

"Stop moving" He said. Anna blinked.

Seriously? You had nothing better to say?

She rolled her eyes.

"Good morning to you too." She said, sarcasm dripping off her voice. She heard him chuckle before pulling her closer to his chest.

"Did you sleep well?" A smile drew across her lips at his question. How couldn't I?

"I guess. You?" She traced his knuckles with her fingertip, and he stroked her nipples. This time, intentionally.

"Not exactly." He said. Anna stilled again.

What? Why?

A number of questions flooded her brain. Did he not sleep well because of me? Did I snore? Did I drool maybe? Ew!

Nervousness filled her chest and her lips suddenly went dry as she licked them, and asked him in a small voice.

"Why not?"

"Because there were things I wanted to do to you but I couldn't." He groaned.

Oh!

Anna didn't know what shade of pink her cheeks turned while her mouth hung open at his bold speech. Feeling suddenly brave enough, she shot back.

"What did you wanna do?"

There were a few seconds of complete silence before he swiftly turned her around and found his usual place above her.

Reflexively, her hands came up to cover her bare chest and saw him frown. He gripped both of her wrists and held them above her head while his burning green orbs drilled into her eyes and his hot breath fanned her face.

"Don't hide. I've seen it and they're are beautiful. You are beautiful"

Raven lowered his lips to hers and she chinned up, meeting his mouth halfway. Butterflies and bats were fluttering in their stomachs as he tugged her lower lip between his teeth.

Anna had no idea a simple morning kiss could get so hot. Of course, there were so many things she didn't know that Raven showed her, like last night. She blushed. Finally, when he parted from her, she did not have any chances of admiring his morning beauty as he lowered his head to her neck.

"Do you really want to know?" His hot breath teasingly caressed her soft spot.

"What?" She breathed out the question, hardly able to concentrate on the conversation than the sensations he was spreading across her.

"The things I want to do to you," His lips brushed across her sensitive spot and before she knew, the words were already out, "Yes".

Raven stilled for a moment but almost immediately started nibbling her skin and Anna threw her head back into the pillow, moaning.

His touch was magical. He was magical. He did things she never knew she could feel and her body reacts to his touches just how he wants it to.

Her skin was on fire, burning under his wet lips, as he made his way down to her cleavage. She squirmed under him, trying to weakly free her wrists from his grip while he teased every sensitive spot on her skin that he had discovered the previous night.

"You..." Raven mumbled against her stomach and she looked down confused.

"What?"

"I want you."

Her heart stopped for a mili second as he looked her dead in the eyes. He wasn't kidding, he wasn't teasing. She saw the desire pooling in his eyes again. Something she saw last night. He wanted her just like how much she wanted him, if not more.

"Will you ....." He started. "Would you like to..." Raven sighed mid way. There were very few times when she saw him unsure like this. "Anna..."

What is he so befuddled about?

Every beautiful moment in her life had to be ruined. Anna was convinced of this statement when there was a knock on the door and their sweet little moment was destroyed. She looked towards the door and then back at Raven whose eyes were fixed on her.

He did not hear it or am I hearing things?

There was another knock on the door follower by a voice which she recognized as Miss Jones'. "Young Master, there's a guest for you."

Okay, nothing's wrong with my ear.

Anna looked up at Raven again and he finally blinked away. He closed his eyes and spoke.

"I'll be there in 10" they heard footsteps slowly fading away as silence engulfed them.

"We will talk later." Raven said.

Anna timidly nodded, still wondering what he wanted to talk about. He let go of her wrist and took her face in his hands, swiftly pecking her lips then forehead.

He got off the bed and Anna quickly pulled the covers over her body. She still had her panties on but that little piece of lace did not make her feel any less naked. She sat up straight, tightly holding the covers and looked up at Raven. His shirt was crumbled. Her eyes wandered over his fingers as he started unbuttoning them.

Anna's eyes went wide when he turned around to look at her, still unbuttoning and then took off his shirt, his body coming directly into her view.

Damn. The black trousers hung low on his hips while his adonis belt was flaunting itself. His tight abdomen taunted her.

Oh Good Lord!

How did she ever not notice this body when he was literally roaming shirtless in her house?

Too lost in shamelessly gawking at his body, she did not realize when he crawled up on the bed until his fingers raised her chin up.

"Are we done staring, baby?" He smiled and Anna flushed.

Baby again.

Raven swung the shirt over her and draped it over her shoulders. Anna was dumbfounded for a moment. That's not what she thought he was going to do.

"Wear it". She quickly nodded and slipped one hand into the sleeve then the other. She almost chuckled at how big it was on her but fit perfectly on him.

Raven pulled it around her and buttoned it up one by one. She sat there awkwardly staring around the room while he dressed her up like a kid who was to be sent to school. After he was done, a quick peck was pressed on her forehead.

"Freshen Up. We have lot of things to do." She saw a hint of smile on his lips as he emphasized the word before getting off the bed.

He picked up one of the robes from the wardrobes and walked out pulling it over his shoulders. She saw him walk out, while bringing the sleeves of his shirt up to her face and inhaling his scent, which had her smiling like an idiot.
