[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: JE TE LAISSERAI DES MOTS ~ PATRICK WATSON]
The following morning, when Lily woke up, she felt Raven's hand around her waist, holding her close to his chest. It was a warm feeling, and she basked in it, feeling the protectiveness from Raven's gentle but warm hold. He didn't leave like other days; this time, he stayed with her until morning came.
Lily raised her head a little to look at him. Seeing him this close, with his eyes closed and a calm look of peacefulness on his face, she noticed the details of his face. His lashes looked longer, and his tousled midnight black hair fell on his face, making her feel giddy. Her eyes fell on Raven's lips, and she remembered where they had been and what he was capable of doing with those lips.
