Tender Care and Unforeseen Discoveries
"You'll catch a cold when your body cools down later," Raven cautioned, his concern evident in his voice. The room was still filled with the lingering warmth of their passionate encounter.
"But it's still too hot now," Seraphina replied, her cheeks still flushed from their recent activities. Her voice was soft, almost a whisper, as she gazed at him with half-lidded eyes.
Raven glanced down at her, noting her still-reddish cheeks and the fine sheen of sweat on her forehead. Just as she said, her body wasn't cooling off anytime soon. "Then, I'll cover you with a blanket in just a bit," he offered, his voice gentle and reassuring. He didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, knowing how delicate she was.
She gave a nod at his words, her exhaustion making it difficult for her to move much. "I'm taking a break. So, I'll be in the study for a while," he added, his tone soft and caring. He wanted to give her some space to rest and recover.
