“I think I do,” she smirked, an expression that didn’t last for very long once he began to grind into her slowly. It was replaced by that same lovely yet lustful look that had been fixed to her features for much of the day. It was the start of yet another immensely pleasurable romp in the sheets, where he bent her over and pumped into her from behind and then fit his body against hers as they had when they slept. She couldn’t get enough of the way his hands trailed along her body, touching and caressing her assets to skillfully elevate her experience. Just when she thought she’d reached the height of her pleasure, he introduced something new to enhance whatever naughty motions he performed. It was perhaps the benefit of being hundreds of years old and likely having more partners than she could count given his responsibility to the females of his territory. As she looked back at him, over her shoulder, she could see that he was genuinely enjoying himself. It wasn’t some obligatory act or service he<i>needed</i>to do. He was making love to her because he wanted to, and Mina expected nothing more than his affection.<br/><br/>After hours of hours in bed, they were both spent. Neither of them had nothing left to give but the comfort of one another’s arms. She rested her head on her shoulder and let him protectively and possessively snuggle up behind her. In a matter of seconds, the little witch was asleep peacefully.<br/><br/>It was no secret that Mina was a hard sleeper. Fireworks could have been going off around her and she wouldn’t have stirred or moved an inch. She feel Syn get up, or his warmth leave her. She didn’t hear the bath being drawn in the next room or feel herself being lifted from the bed. Cradled in his arms she was still the vision of peacefulness, even when he lowered her into the hot water for a brief moment. Resting against him, her eyes opened a bit. Her senses were dull, though. Her vision was blurred and the sounds of the water being brushed over her porcelain skin were muffled. She was even oblivious to the aromatic scent of the vanilla oils he thoughtfully put in the water until she came to. Her eyes opened and closed, and opened and closed as she struggled against her exhaustion. Eventually, she did wake and become coherent enough to realize that she was no longer in bed and no longer in Syn’s room, that she was in a bath tub and being bathed. With wide eyes she looked around and sat up a little, a bit freaked out initially.<br/><br/>She was about to tell him that he could have woke her up, but she knew why he hadn’t. By the time he got her up, she would be grumpy and the water would have been cold. It was a sweet gesture and a smart gesture.<br/><br/>“You’re going to make a good mate,” she smiled, turning so that she was facing him and sitting on his lap. While she straddled him, she ran her fingers through his hair to wet it. “Are you going to let me stay home another day, or are you going to make me go to school?” She asked as she styled his hair in various silly shapes, an amused smile hanging on her lips. “We could stay in bed today?” She suggested even though she was incredibly sore. Mina didn’t think she would ever turn him away when it came to intimacy. Still, her tempting proposal was self-serving. Mina had been finding excuses not to return to the mortal realm, a place where nothing seemed quite right for her.
