Raymond POV:-

I can't believe I claimed her. I mark her as mine. She's officially mine. My heart is fluttering with happiness. She belongs to me. She is mine in every way. Mine. I felt so happy. I want to shout out in happiness. She is my salvation. My everything. I couldn't believe I would live the most gratifying night with my heart connected with hers as my love moves in rhythms with hers.

I was sleeping as I was tired...from last night. But someone poked me. I growled in annoyance but then I felt fingers on my stomach, trying to tickle me but I didn't laugh.

"It's futile, love,"...
