Crow smiled against Penelope’s lips as she dragged him to the ground with her, enjoying her wild energy. He was glad that her father was such a deep sleeper, since they wouldn’t have been able to get away if he had woken up. It was much better to sleep with her now than wait until they reached the castle, especially since they didn’t even know what their time there was going to look like yet. As long as John was fighting to keep them apart, secret getaways like this were the best they were going to get.

Now on top of her, the thief leaned down to press a series of kisses to her neck, trailing his hands sensuously over her body. At her words, he chuckled softly and pulled back to meet her gaze, “I think the same thing about you all the time.” He touched another gentle kiss to her cheek and closed his eyes as she began to kiss him along his neck. The feeling of her soft lips against his skin made him shudder, and a quiet moan escaped from him. After going a whole month without her intimate touch, everything she did made his heart race wildly. He couldn’t believe how incredibly attractive she was and how lucky he was that she wanted to be with him.

As Penelope suggestively offered to take over, he opened his eyes again and grinned at her eagerly. “I think you do,” he murmured, leaning down to press a passionate kiss to her lips and shifting his weight to one arm so he could freely move his other hand over her body. As he did, he allowed her to take off his pants and then pushed the discarded clothing without breaking the kiss. Once he was fully unclothed, he pressed into her even closer, enjoying the intimacy of being with her, skin to skin, without pushing for more right away.

However, after a short while, Crow pulled back to catch his breath and met her gaze with a mischievous smirk. In the next moment, he rolled them both over so that he was lying on his back and she was on top of him instead. His green eyes swept over her body, and he traced his hands slowly down the length of her sides. “Alright, love, show me what you’ve got,” he said with a challenging wink. “I’m all yours.”
