The next day.

When Laura woke up, it's already raining heavily outside. ​​

Graven was no longer by her side.

She pouted.

She wants to wake up in bed with him by her side! Next time she will remind him not to leave her alone in the morning every time they were together.

She released a deep sigh. She missed the warm presence of his body so much!

Her mind instantly recalled the topic of their conversation last night.

When she confessed her love to him, he didn't jump with joy, instead, he went silent which gave her a glimpse of what he's thinking in his mind during the time she revealed her true feelings to him.

She's not hurt at all, she understood very well the difficulty he was in, she's just a bit sad that loving Graven is not the end of everything, it's going to be the beginning of her pain. And right now, she has no idea what will tomorrow bring to her and Graven's love.

Will Graven give her up and their love?

Or...he will completely betray his brother?

She released a troubled sigh, she doesn't want to put Graven in a difficult situation but the moment she confessed her true feelings to him, she knew she already put him in great distress. But she still did it despite knowing the difficulty of their situation because due to the uncertainty of their condition they might get separated from each other one day and it might already be too late to tell him what she truly feels for him.

After telling him that she loves him, she already prepared herself for the consequences. And one thing that she prepared herself for is meeting her vampire husband-to-be. Now that she knows how powerful he is, sooner or later he will come to find her, and Graven or even Luke won't be able to do anything to save her.

Loving Luke...

Loving Graven...

Are all amounts to nothing...because it will eventually lead to an ending when she will marry her vampire husband.

And that will be the end of it.

So, she will enjoy her glorious time with Graven while she still can...no guilt and no pain this time... loving Graven is the only thing she wanted to do because after they returned to her home in Hallowpass another problem might already be waiting for her there.

Now that she still has these few precious days with Graven, she will enjoy and treasure their togetherness the most...she will go wild and abandon her inhibitions because they might have no more time left for each other.

She got up from the bed and entered the bathroom to do her thing.

After getting out of the bathroom she picked up the comb and starts brushing her hair. She will go out for breakfast soon...she will make herself presentable first.

After fixing her hair and her appearance in the mirror, she was about to get out of the room to find Graven... there was a knock on the door.

"Miss...I'm going to deliver breakfast in bed!" Graven's voice rang in the air outside the door.

Laura smiled and quickly opened the door to let him in.

Graven smiled brightly and entered the room, Laura closed the door behind him.

He put down the tray on the table. "Good morning, my love!" he said and planted a kiss on her lips. "How's your sleep last night?" he asked.

"It's good!" she replied and looked at the food on the tray. "Wow, yummy! I'm suddenly getting hungry!" she said salivating at the delicious food.

"Then let's eat!" he said.

"Alright!" Laura responded in glee.

Graven placed the dishes on the table and began putting food on Laura's plate. Before they start eating he planted a kiss on her lips. "I love you so much!" he said looking affectionately into her eyes.

"I love you too!" she responded and kissed his cheeks.

"Alright, let's enjoy breakfast in bed!" he said cheerfully.

They began eating the appetizing foods composed of scrambled egg, rice, fried fish, stir fry vegetable with chicken slices, and two hot cocoa drinks.

One hour later.

The couple was cuddling in bed, sipping their hot cocoa while watching the rain pouring outside through the window.

"Since when the rain starts falling?" she asked because she can't remember.

"Since last night, the rain began to pour the moment you fall asleep in my arms," he answered.

Laura smiled. "Ah, I see... I'm sleeping like a log the whole night so I wasn't able to notice the rain," she murmured.

"Yeah...you're sleeping like a baby in my arms and I watched you sleep until I fall asleep as well," he said.

"By the way, are we going to start traveling after breakfast?" she asked.

"No, maybe after lunch. Let's wait until the rain stopped falling then we will continue our journey," he said.

"So...we have the whole morning for ourselves?" she asked wickedly.

"Yeah...we will have the whole morning to ourselves cuddling in bed," he grinned suggestively.

Laura smiled at him provocatively. "So...what do you have in mind...cowboy?" she asked running her fingers on his chest.

"I want to ride my beautiful and sexy horse all morning and bring her to the 7th heaven...I wonder if she's up for it?" he said naughtily, winking at her as he starts caressing her bottom erotically.

The heat in Laura's body began to flare up as passion and desire rose rapidly in her body...burning intensely in her belly.

They put their mugs down on the table and stared at each other's eyes...

Strong desire began leaping from their eyes.

"Graven... I want to ride you..." she said licking her lip, in a full seduction mood.

Graven grinned liking her playful and seductive persona today. "Aww...my cowgirl is on fire! Bring it on, babe!" he said in encouragement.

Laura's hand traveled from his chest down to his abdomen, teasing him until her hand stopped above his groin, she began fondling his manhood beneath his pants.

Graven groaned in pleasure...

Laura unzips his pants and inserted her right hand inside his underwear and grabbed his already erect manhood...she began stroking his shaft erotically while kissing him on the lips...they kissed each other passionately while Laura's hand was busy fondling his swollen manhood...it becomes so hard like steel in her fingers.

Graven love the way her fingers fondled his manhood... so pleasurable...his hands move on their own and discarded Laura's blouse... her ample twin peaks come into view...he grabbed both peaks with his hands and fondled them while she was busy stroking his erect shaft in frenzy.

He looked into her eyes. "Ride me now babe...ahhh...I want to be inside you now..." he requested huskily.

Laura discarded her skirts and her underwear...Graven also discarded the rest of his clothes... the couple was now naked on the bed...Laura poised her wet core in front of his erect rod... it's like a piece of metal sticking mightily as she plunged her wet mound into his erection...the moment the entire length of his manhood entered her core she went wild with abandon and ride him like a cowgirl.. she went grinding on him filling her silky wall with the entire length of his swollen manhood pulsating inside her core... Graven was busy fondling and stroking her twin peaks adding to the fire of desire burning brightly in their bodies.

"Yeah...baby...bring it on...so good..." Graven said huskily.

Laura looked at him...she likes the way he looked at her and love the way his hands fondled her breast pleasurably.

"Fasterrr babe..." he said huskily.

Laura went full throttle in her grinding and he's loving every minute of her erotic abandon.

"I love it babe...so good...so nice...fasterrrr...ahhhh..." Graven groaned.

"Graveennn...ahhhh...ohhh..." Laura moaned in pleasure as she continues grinding faster on his manhood.

Graven feel the climax coming closer... he gripped Laura's buttocks..."Common babe one last time...fasterrrr...ahhh..." he groaned and panted.

Laura went higher and faster in her grinding and finally Graven reached his earth-shattering orgasm followed by Laura.

It was such a pleasurable climax for both of them as Laura remained stradling Graven's manhood in complete ecstasy... their mind-blowing orgasm lasted for several minutes.

Finally when the fire of desire ended...Laura crumbled on top of Graven's chest due to tiredness.

He smiled in satisfaction. "That was good babe, you're awesome!" he murmured in her ears.

Laura looked at him in the eyes and grinned. "That was fun! Did you enjoy it?" she asked him alluringly.

Graven smiled. "Yeah...that was awesome, you're great in bed, you amazed me!" he showered praises on her performance on bed.

Laura claimed his mouth for a passionate kiss. "Let's do it again tonight, okay?" she said.

Graven chuckled in amusement. "Sure! And I'll be the one to ride you tonight so get ready," he warned her.

Laura grinned and fluttered her eyelashes. "Sure cowboy...I'm ready for yah..." she said and erupted into a giggle.

Graven laughed and hugged her tightly. "I love you so much, Laura!"

"I love you much, Graven!" she replied.

They kissed on the lips for a while.

"Alright, let's rest and sleep until lunchtime comes," he said and wrapped the blanket around their naked bodies.

"Okay," Laura said and snuggled closer to him.

Graven hugged her from behind, spooning her. He glanced at the window, the rain was still falling heavily outside the inn. "It looks like the rain will not stop today," he commented casually.

Laura looked at the window for a few seconds. "Yeah... are we still going to continue traveling today?" she asked feeling sleepy and tired.

"If the rain continues to fall until afternoon, we will resume traveling tomorrow morning after breakfast when the sun is already up," he responded.

"Okay," Laura murmured as her eyelids were dropping fast and she began snoring lightly.

Graven noticed that Laura was already in slumber. "Sleep well, babe," he said softly, he planted a kiss on her skin on her back.

He looked at the window one last time before joining Laura in her sleep.

Outside the window, the rain continues to pour in torrents creating puddles on the ground.

One hundred miles away from the inn, the water in the river starting to overflow, reaching the bridge.
