R A V E N N A Moonlight shone through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the room. Zane was lying next to me, his breathing steady. I looked at his sleeping face, his features relaxed and peaceful. His long lashes fanned across his cheeks, and his full lips were slightly parted. He was handsome, even while asleep. He had made love to me twice, and we'd both collapsed from exhaustion, falling asleep in each other's arms. I was feeling sore and well f****d, and it felt amazing. I could feel his mark burning against my skin, his canines had marked me as his, and I couldn't wait for the world to know. To see the beautiful moonstone ring on my finger, and the bite on my neck. Everyone would know that I was claimed. And, it felt incredible. Zane shifted in his sleep, pulling me closer.
