Pine Citrus Mint Musk

Raveen spent the night with Lavina. Being right next to her, asleep, and hugging the girl who had also hugged him. Raveen awoke early this morning. While the lovely lady by his side was still sleeping. Raveen's lips pursed as he examined every detail of Lavina's face.

He wanted to touch her face but was unable when his phone vibrated. He looked at the phone screen and saw his father's name. Raveen immediately stood up and left the room for a few moments.

"Hello?"

"Your Mom has woken up. Come on over here, she's looking for you,” said his father form the other side. Raveen sighed with relief.

"Dad, I'll be right there. Please convey my greetings to Mother. I'll meet her soon, I promise " Raveen stated.

“Raveen …” his father's voice sounded scratchy. Raveen's name was called with great emphasis. It was so unsettling. Raveen felt something bad would happen.

“Yes, Dad?”

"Have you gotten rid of all of Dawson's descendants?"

Deg. Raveen was taken aback by his father's question. He was more unconfortable.

"Of course,"—with the exception of Lavina—he replied flatly, hiding his nervousness. Raveen has already made his decision and has come this far. He wasn’t going to give in to his father. The only way he could do it right now was to hide Lavina.

"Good. If any of Dawson's descendants are still alive, I will kill them by myself."

Deg. Raveen was well aware that his father's remarked wasn’t a joke.

"You don't need to be concerned about it, Dad. I’d killed all of them that had to be assasinated." Raveen lied to his father. He wasn’t completely lying. For him, Lavina was an exception. No need to kill her.

Raveen closed her eyes for a time when the phone connection was disconnected. He had to think fast to keep his father from finding out where Lavina was. His father must be unaware if Lavina was still alive and of her whereabouts. If Raveen simply concealed Lavina without doing anything more, his father would easily detect his deception.

He then returned to the room to meet the woman who'd already stolen his soul. Raveen witnessed something that put his faith to the test. Lavina awoke. The girl was sitting on the bed with one hand rubbing her left eye.

"Raven?" Lavina noticed Raveen’s precence. She had a sharp nose. Raveen's scent was wafting across the air. Even though it was a little bit ways away, Lavina could smell his scent.

“Oh … you’re awake.” He said. Raveen continued to stare at Lavina.

"Hmm." Lavina nodded despite the fact that she was still sleepy, she attempted to get out of bed by standing up while maintaining her balance. Her hands were spread out in front of herself, just in case there was something in front of her. She moved closer to the direction of Raveen's voice.

Raveen gasped. He was able to reestablish coordination awareness. His body dashed towards Lavina and grabbed the girl.

"Raveen!" Lavina was surprised.

"You are extremely dangerous!" Raveen spoke in hushed tones.

"What is the danger?" Lavina asked innocently.

Raveen didn't dare to look any farther into her eyes. He gulped down his saliva as he noticed the 'pleasant' scene he had just seen. How could it not be dangerous? The naked Lavina could arouse Raveen's lust and enticed him to touch Lavina.

"It's nothing," he replied, putting an end to his desire. Endured filthy thought in his head.

Raveen grabbed the strewn blanket and draped it over Lavina's nude body. Raveen squeaked at his folly. Why didn't he take Lavina's clothing with him when they fled?

"Raven?" Lavina called out again to the man, who was still busy making sure the blanket was correctly covering her body.

“Hm?” Raveen murmured.

“You said that you will tell me about forest and night ... oh! Afternoon also. I’m ready to learn.” Lavina recalled Raveen's promise from the night before. She exuded enthusiasm, with her eyes twinkling. For a moment, the man in front of her was stunned. Apparently this girl still remembered.

"Sure, but only after I bought you clothing," Raveen said after gave a short kiss on Lavina's forehead.

Lavina had just discovered that there was no fabric covering her body. When he realized the blanket Raveen had just laid on her was the only thing covering her, his cheeks flushed. Raveen chuckled quietly as he noticed the girl in front of him blushing.

"There's no reason to feel embarrassed, Lavina. You are mine, so you can show me all of your beauty. Only me, "Raveen was insistent.

Lavina lowered her gaze and nodded hesitantly. Raveen was right. Even though Lavina didn't fully understand what iwas the meaning of to own and be owned, Raveen has the right to know what was in Lavina because she had chosen Raveen as a place to rely.

Raveen then left Lavina. He had to go to the hospital also bought Lavina some clothes. Raveen was hesitant to leave, but he needed to get to the hospital and check on his mother.

Lavina cuddled up on the bed after Raveen had left her. After Raveen's leaving, she was accompanied only by silence. In her heart, she hoped Raveen wouldn't leave her for too long. She had no one but him to rely on. Furthermore, there was one thing she had to fulfill. Lavina felt something quite uncomfortable when she touched her stomach.

“Uh... I'm hungry,” she mumbled. “Raveen, hurry back...”

Meanwhile, the man rushes through the hospital. He was already missing Emily, his mother. Raveen raced to hug his mother after opening the magnificent patient room's door.

"Are you okay, Mom?" her only child inquired, concerned. Emily gently touched Raveen's cheek.

"Yes, Honey. I’m in good health. You don't need to be worried, " she replied.

"You must be more cautious the next time, Mom. Dad's enemies can be found everywhere." Raveen checked Emily's entire body, seeking something the doctor had overlooked. Emily laughed and ruffled her son's hair.

“Your father is being overprotective right now. Just so you know, your father's troops have encircled the hospital. I'm so fine though."

Raven gave a brief nod. His father made a point. In fact, he agreed with and supported Rael's decision to be more protective of his mother.

“If I was Dad, I’ll do the same. Taking care of someone you care about is a duty. Anything will be sacrificed,” Raveen answered.

Emily was astonished by Raveen's statements. She felt loved by two beloved men. But, there was something unusual about her son’s demeanor.

"Do you already have someone you want to look after?" Emily teased him.  Raven remained silent. Of course, now—beside Emily—there was another woman he desired to have and must protect.

“Ah … Mom, I have to leave soon. I have a business to attend to." Raveen remembered needing to buy clothes for Lavina. He also needed to get some food for himself and the girl.

“What's the hurry? Stay here until your father arrives, hm?”

Raveen couldn't refuse what her mother stated. Eventually,  Raveen reluctanly waited for Emily until his father arrived.

***

Raveen dashed inside the house in the middle of the woodland, bringing some shopping bags with him. He was concerned that he had left Lavina for too long—far longer than he had anticipated.

Meanwhile, the girl he had left this morning was still in the bed. Raveen had left her for so long that she was irritated. Previously, the man had promised to arrive sooner.

“Lavina,” Raveen said. Lavina abruptly awoke. He shifted his body toward Raveen's voice. She pouted.

"It's been a long time," Lavina whined sadly. Instead of whining, she appeared to be protesting.

"I'm sorry, I have to get some stuff and food for you," Raveen explained as he pulled a dress from the shopping bag.

Raveen approached Lavina, grabbed her hand in him, and asked her to get off the bed. Lavina complied. He followed Raveen's lead. Raveen took Lavina's other hand, which was still holding the blanket to cover her body.

"Just take the blanket off, I've purchased clothes for you," Raveen remarked.

That wasn't exactly what he intended to say. He was ready to correct himself when Lavina let the fabric slipped down her body. Raveen gulped once more. Lavina's body screamed lust.  Raveen shook off her wild desire. This wasn't the moment to teach this innocent girl—despite the fact that Lavina might have felt pleasure when she was raped—damn! Raveen became upset as he recalls what that lecherous man did to her.

Raveen put the dress on Lavina quickly and gently. He couldn't allow his lewd thoughts take over. it wasn't the right time for Raveen to touch Lavina any further.

"Beautiful," Raveen praised as he saw Lavina clad in the dress.

"Well, let's go out now. As promised, I will tell you about forest, night and day." said Raveen. He carved a smile on Lavina's face.

Raveen took Lavina's hand and gently guided her out of the house. It was midday, yet the blazing sun didn't blister their skin due of the forest canopy that shielded them.

Lavina closed her eyes as she approached the outside of house. She took a deep breath and smelled a peculiar yet refreshing scent. The aroma of the forest.

“What is this fragrance, Raveen?” Lavina inquired.

“This is the smell of the forest,” Raveen responded. The man attempted to close his eyes and take a deep breath of fresh air. "The smell of pine," he went on.

Lavina inhaled a new aroma she was familiar with once more. It was incredibly refreshing. Raveen has the same fragrance. Lavina's smile widened.

Although not so much to do, Raveen tried to teach Lavina about the world. Allowed her to come into contact with the leaves, trees, grass, sand, dirt, and rocks. Even though it appeared simple, Lavina was happy just because she recognized the inanimate things. Lavina felt like a human again for the first time in a long time.

“Lavina,” Raveen said.

"Hmm?" Lavina was still busy groping for a thin, little object that were smooth on the surface but rough on the sides.

"You can try to smell that leaf." He replied.

Lavina complied. She placed the leaf she was holding close to her nose. She closed her eyes and processed the unfamiliar aroma.

“Even though it's faint, it has a wonderfully fresh scent. Fresher than the aroma of pine." Lavina finished analyzing. Raveen then tore a piece of the leaf.

"Try to smell it once more!"

Lavina smelled the leaf once again. Her pupils were dilated. "Wow! It smells so good." She yelled, "The smell is strong and really fresh!" She seemed so happy. Her smile widened. Her eyes seemed to glisten. Raven chuckled.

"It's a citrus leaf," he explained.

Lavina responded with a nod. The citrus aroma would soon become one of her favorites. It smelled just like the man who owns her, Raveen.

Raveen then requested Lavina to rest. They  needed to re-feed their stomach. They both ate the food. Lavina seemed to be enjoying the food she had just chewed. Her tongue knew rice, but she didn't recognize other things in his mouth that felt savory, soft, and sweet.

"What exactly is this food?" Lavina had a lot of requestions. Raveen wasn't bothered if this girl kept asking. His fingers reached out to remove the food stains at the corners of her lips before answering the query of the girl he loved.

"It's meat," He answered. “Do you enjoy it?” Raveen asked her back. Lavina nodded and devoured the dish once more. She  really liked it. Very tasty, new flavor for her.

After finishing her food, Raveen poured tea into a cup. Lavina sniffed another aroma that was similarly invigorating. In contrast to the pine and citrus aromas. However, it still had a strong resemblance to Raveen's fragrance.

“What is it?” Lavina was still hesitant to inquire. Raveen frowned. He stoped pouring the tea.

“What?” He asked.

 "It smells so fresh, but not like pine and citrus," Lavina said. Raveen took a time to stare at the drink. the mint tea.

"It's mint," Raveen said as he moved the tea closer to Lavina. “The smell comes from the tea,” Raveen explained.

Lavina gave a nod. She was pleased with the new lessons she had learned. Raveen was a true angel sent by God. As a result, Lavina got up from her seat. She  stood up and moved closer to Raveen. The man promptly got up and stood up too.

"Hey … where are you going?" Raveen apprehended Lavina. Lavina, whose hand had already been grabbed by Raveen, rushed to his body and hugged. Raveen was a slightly surprised.

"Thank you," Lavina said softly. “Thank you for introducing me to the world,” she added while smiled.

Raveen let go of Lavina's arms and lifted her chin. He couldn't keep from kissing her lips. Hers was very lovely.

"It's too soon to say thank you. You still have a lot to learn," Raveen stated. Lavina gave a cheerful smile. She  leaned her head on Raveen's chest again. She closed her eyes as the pleasant scent returned. Her nose was learning to recognize this scent more and better. Raveen's scent seemed to float across her surroundings. Lavina was at ease in that position. She inhaled deeply.

“Pine, citrus, and mint,” Lavina said after smelling Raveen's perfume.

"Hmm?"

“I love... I love my owner's scent.” Lavina blinked open her eyes and looked up. Staring straight at the blackness of his gaze was less froghtening since Lavina knew what she was looking at was the guarantor of her life.

Raveen was stunned. The man looked at Lavina intently. He tilted his head slightly, confirming the weird sensation he was experiencing. So his heart potential action confirmed that he had fallen too deeply for Lavina.
