章 85: Everything goes according to plan

The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm golden light across the room as Raven and I stirred awake. I stretched lazily, a contented smile spreading across my face as I snuggled closer to Raven's warm body.

"Good morning," I murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips.

Raven smiled, her eyes still heavy with sleep. "Good morning, love," she replied, her voice husky with desire.

With a contented sigh, I reluctantly pulled away from her embrace and swung my legs over the side of the bed, stretching once again before standing up. The cool hardwood floor felt refreshing beneath my feet as I made my way to the bathroom to start our morning routine.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face, taking my time as I savored the simple pleasure of being with Raven. She joined me in the bathroom a few moments later, wrapping her arms around me from behind as she pressed a gentle kiss to my neck.
