I woke up to the sound of birds and the soft weight of a hand on my chest.
Raven.
Still curled against me, legs wrapped around one of mine, hair loose and messy over her face. Her skin was warm, soft. She was breathing slowly, but her grip on my wrist was firm — like if she let go, I'd disappear.
I stayed still.
But she stirred anyway.
Her eyes opened — red-rimmed but sharp. She looked at me like she was trying to decide whether to slap me or kiss me again.
"I didn't sleep," she said.
"Me either."
Silence.
Then:
"I hate that I like you this much," she whispered.
I blinked. "You could've just said you like me."
"I don't just like you, Hiro. I burn for you. And I'm not good at sharing."
I swallowed.
Her eyes locked onto mine.
"So make me feel like I'm the only one. Just for tonight."
She leaned in and kissed me.
This wasn't like Aria. It wasn't greedy or lust-driven. It was controlled. Slow. Every second her lips were on mine, I felt it — the frustration, the fear, the need.
Then she pulled back and looked down at my chest.
"I want to taste you."
"...Huh?"
She didn't explain.
She just slid under the blanket.
And the next thing I felt was warm breath against my shaft.
I gasped as her lips closed around the head, her tongue swirling lazily.
"Raven—fuck—"
She moaned softly, sending vibrations through me, her fingers wrapping around the base while her mouth worked the tip.
She sucked slow. Like she had all night. Like she was claiming me.
And gods, it felt so fucking good.
Wet sounds filled the tent as she bobbed deeper, lips tight, her tongue tracing the underside of my shaft like she knew exactly what she was doing.
"Holy shit," I groaned, hand buried in her messy hair. "That mouth is dangerous."
She pulled off with a pop, smirking.
"Good. Because I'm not done."
Raven straddled me, still naked under the sheets. Her breasts hovered just above my chest, nipples already hard, dripping onto my skin.
Then she reached down... and guided me inside her.
She moaned — a deep, guttural sound, like she'd been holding it back for weeks.
"Oh fuck… Hiro…"
I gripped her hips.
She was hot, wet, and tight. And she didn't move slow this time.
She started riding me hard.
Fast.
Slapping sounds filled the tent as her hips crashed down over and over, her breath hitching with every thrust.
"Harder—deeper—fuck, yes!"
Her hands braced on my chest, fingers digging in. Her hair whipped as she threw her head back, riding me like a storm.
I watched her — every muscle, every moan, every shiver of her breasts as she slammed herself down onto my cock.
She was wild.
She was mine.
And I was losing control.

I sat up, pulling her tight to me, and thrust upward — hard.
She cried out, wrapping her arms around my shoulders, clinging to me like her life depended on it.
"I'm c-coming—H-Hiro—!"
"Come with me," I growled, pounding into her.
She screamed into my neck.
Her whole body shook as she clenched around me, pussy spasming wildly, squeezing me tighter than ever before.
And I exploded inside her.
Warmth. Pleasure. Bliss.
We collapsed together, gasping, hearts pounding like war drums.
She trembled in my arms.
And for the first time… she didn't try to act strong.

Raven snuggled into my chest, fingers tracing the edge of my collarbone.
"…That better not be how you do it with the others."
I smiled.
"It's not. You're different."
She looked up.
Then kissed me one more time — soft this time.
"I know," she whispered. "Just don't forget who gave it to you first."
