Gabriel gently lowered Crow onto her back, her pale skin glowing in the candle light. Her amber eyes, framed by her midnight hair, looked up to him trustingly, knowing he wouldn't hurt her, not after all they had been through.
Both had kept secrets, and now both had none left. Gabriel kissed the small circles of silvery skin on Crow's neck, a scar from his first kiss. The shock that Gabriel was a twice-born had hurt more than the bite itself. But after the secrets she had kept from him, she couldn't hate him for it. After he saved her from the falcons, she realised she even loved him. So when she went to his cabin that night, dressed only in one of his old shirts, she felt no fear or regret, only love.
Gabriel had been shocked at first, when he opened his door to see her there, barely covered in the thin material of his shirt. When he found her in that room, beaten, bruised, wrists tied cruelly tight behind her back, he realised it wasn't his good nature that had forced him to save her, nor that he owed her his life, it was because over the weeks she had been aboard his ship, he had grown to love her. And so he had gently unbuttoned her shirt, his rough hands pushing the fabric gently off her shoulders to the ground, and then led her to his bed, lowering her onto her back, relishing the smell of her arousal, and the feel of her skin.
Crow ran her small hands along his broad shoulders, learning the contours of his muscles. She traced the deep scar that ran from his right shoulder down to his left hip, a scar that he acquired by protecting her. She kissed it gently, whilst her hands continued down to his waist where they met fabric. She gently pushed the material down as far as her arms could reach, then as Gabriel continued her work, her hands circled round his waist to the base of his spine. Her fingertips ran lightly up his muscled back to his shoulders.
Arching backwards, her touch making his skin tingle in pleasure, Gabriel quickly finished removing his pants. He lowered his hips gently to her, not entering her just yet, as he knew she had no experience. He took his time readying her for him. After kissing her scar he moved his lips to her mouth, starting slowly and gently, then deepened the kiss, his tongue moving into her mouth, teasing and exploring, as his member would soon do. As his right arm supported him whilst holding her to him under her shoulders, his left hand explored her body, down her ribs, his thumb just touching her breast slightly before moving down to her hip, and then further down to her thigh. He gently squeezed her flesh before pulling her leg up so his own could move under her.
