No one would believe Raven if she spoke about how respectful and considerate Tobias was within their intimate moments. Whether he understood the reason behind her hesitation or he could read her well enough, she was grateful that he wasn't willing to do what she didn't want to do. His slow, tedious gestures within their closer moments allowed the woman to learn not only what her response was supposed to be, but that he could be completely trusted. For her all bridges to trust others was destroyed, thanks to those she called parents and those that lived within her pack. However, it would seem Tobias was taking the time to rebuild the bridge, board by board, painstakingly so, giving the young woman a chance to see that those she would forever be bound and close to, could be trusted completely. That when she pulled away, or asked him softly to stop, seeing him not retaliate in anger or raising his voice to yell at her, allowed Raven to see that not only could he respect her wishes, but he would not threaten her if she did not submit to his physical desires. It pained her to stop him, because deep down she wished to continue, but anxiety and uncertainty continued to hold her back.

Tonight though it would seem some of her barriers were lowering, allowing the two of them to explore this new adventure, together. How he was capable of taking her bra off so effortlessly and quickly, as quite unbelievable to accept, coming from a man who could barely tie shoes. Already she could feel him tightening against her, her cheeks flaring into that soft shade of pink, embarrassed and shocked all in one. She was giving him this rare opportunity to see her, as she was, and it was nerve-racking and freeing all at once. As he lowers his hand towards her face, blue-grey eyes look into his own pitch black eyes, noticing a sudden flare of that familiar golden-honey hued color. A shy smile appears on her pink lips as he tucks her golden curls neatly behind her ears, his soft baritone voice caused the inside of her chest to fill, and her stomach churn in a butterfly storm. Never before had he called her beautiful. It seemed like eons ago when the vampire that caught her in the park called her beautiful, and she knew it wasn't true. Yet hearing Tobias' other half speak and tell her she was beautiful was essentially memorable, that for a moment a tear threatened to fall down her mauled face.

As he tilts her dial back she obediently responds, giving him access as he lowers himself into her, providing her a passionate kiss. She feverishly responded in kind, allowing the break between them to give her a chance to breathe. Seeing his grin on his handsome face caused the girl to provide him another shy simper, as her eyes widen slightly at the feeling of his calloused hands began to slide upon her form. His tender caress along one peak to the next felt like electricity traveling from one to another releasing the girl to moan with sheer delight. As he continued to stroke her, her eyes would close half-way, allowing herself to shut off her vision and allow herself to actually feel each finger's gentle journey over each perked mound. She allows her own hands to travel up and down his frame, allowing herself to explore him in turn, surprised that for such a lithe creature, he was capable of still having a strong muscular physique.

Gently she presses her lips against his own, her hand gently resting at the back of his neck, not wanting him to move away just yet. As he begins to move his lips away from her own, her eyes would widen slightly as her hand moves away allowing him to move as he pleases. As his lips continue to trial along her cheek down her neck, her legs slide open slightly to allow him to ease up against her, welcoming the different feeling she felt. She can feel his teeth against her neck and she knows so very well what will come next, but she is puzzled as to why his teeth were not as prominent as they have been before. It is when she feels his lips press against her skin does she go still, a softer sound released as his aggressive kiss leaves a noticeable mark, one that when Raven would realize, could be seen by all and she would be unable to hide it.

As his hands begin to travel down her sides, she noticed how the rested easily along the waistband of her jeans. As he looks to her she simply stares back, her mind racing. She goes still as her heart begins to hammer in her chest. She wants to. She knows she wants to. She is afraid to go further, but she is willing to, if for anyone in this world, she would be willing to take the next step with him. Yet some voice in the back of her mind continued to yell at her. Her hand moved over his own and for a moment she begins to unclasp the jeans, but before she could release her hand over his she stops. Slowly the memory of Tobias comes to mind, it was their moment in the Ark, when the boy was throwing his tantrum upset and sad that Tetradore would not let him in his office. Tobi told her what Tetradore did to him, because of his actions, and she did not want to continue to do this...not unless Tobi wanted to. Softly she speaks to him, gently.

"Tobi, I want to...but...you said Tetra told you...you couldn't."

Slowly she manages to sit herself upwards, curly hair falling over her shoulders now. Her hand begins to grasp his own, as she holds it gently squeezing it slightly. Gently she kisses his forehead and moves her dial back, blue-grey eyes meeting his own. She knows she is disappointing him, but she remembers how he was when he disobeyed Tetradore. As his mate she did not want to do anything that would threaten his relationship with his best friend, and as a member of the same pack, she did not want him to undergo the wrath of an Alpha. She had experienced such a terrible thing too much in her own life. Gently she speaks again, pulling her curls back behind her ear, as she tries to speak to him, to both of them.

"I'm not going to decide for you, and I don't want to be the reason Tetradore will be angry with you. You have to decide Tobi, do you want to break his rule, or do you want to wait until you have permission. If you decide to wait for his permission, I promise we can...but please don't be mad at me."

She was still afraid to continue to take the next step with him. However, this was not her way of trying to get out of it. She was willing, but she understood just how important Tetradore was to Tobi. She did not want to be the reason why the two would have a fallout. She cared deeply for her mate and she hoped he could see that, she hoped both of them understood that, that she respected and cared for his relationship with the man he called brother. She loved Tobi, wholeheartedly, and she hoped he could see that through her actions.
