ani_dn found this lovely photo a while ago and said that it made them think of Raziel, and I think it nicely matches the vibe of this chapter!

Kai's POV

Raziel listens to me talk about my mother for what seems like hours. Throughout all the memories I share with him, he and Snow Cone both listen and comfort me in their own ways. By the time I'm finished talking, I feel much lighter and happier.

We're still settled next to the pond in Raziel's room, and the calming sound of the waterfall fills the air. Snow Cone is curled up on my chest while I'm laying on my back with my head resting on Raziel's lap.

"Raz, doesn't the sun set here?" I ask after a moment of comfortable silence. The skies have been brightly lit since we came here with no indication of them darkening.

"It doesn't, but my quarters will make itself dark when you need to sleep."

"You don't need to sleep anymore?"

He shakes his head as his fingers gently run through my hair. "Not like before. Now that I have my wings back, there are a few changes to my body and abilities, and my sleeping pattern is one of them. I only need to sleep seven hours a week. It can be all at once or broken up."

"What will you do while I sleep?"

He smiles. "If you want, I can stay and cuddle with you all night. I think I'll like that. But the other option is that I can schedule some of my duties in Heaven for when you're sleeping and be back by the time you wake up in the morning."

I consider that for a moment. If he does some of his duties at night, then I get to spend more waking hours with him, but on the other hand, I sometimes wake up during the night and I'll miss cuddling with him until I fall back asleep. I sigh. "Doing your duties at night makes more sense."

"I will only leave after you fall asleep and I'll be back in the morning before you wake up. You can always contact me and I'll be next to you in seconds," he smiles and presses a kiss to my lips before continuing to run his fingers through my hair, "and Snow Cone can give you cuddles when I'm gone."

My loud squeal startles Snow Cone and they glance around. I pick up the cat-like creature and bring them towards my mouth so I can place multiple kisses on their face. They purr and brush their face against mine causing me to giggle. "Did you hear that, Snow Cone? You get to come back to earth with me!"

"What about my kisses?" Raziel mumbles with a pout, and I giggle harder, making a kissy face. That brings a smile to his face and he connects our lips in a brief kiss.

Snow Cone once again curls up on my chest and Raziel's hand returns to my hair. After a few seconds, I ask, "What other changes are there?"

"I won't feel Earth's temperature anymore. I don't need showers anymore or-"

"So how will you stay clean? What if I spilled chilli on you or something?"

Raziel grins. "Then my clothes and body would automatically clean itself within a few minutes. So if you spilled something on me, it would be gone."

My mouth hangs open, and my eyebrows knit together for a moment before a tiny giggle escapes me. I dig my hand into the moist dirt near the pond and quickly smear it all over Raziel's bare chest.

Raziel laughs and rolls his eyes but makes no attempt to stop me. My eyes widen as moments later the dirt seems to evaporate from his chest, leaving his chiseled chest perfectly clean.

"But I'll still take showers with you."

"Was that even in question!" I reply with a giggle.

Raziel smiles and pecks my lips. "I also don't need to eat anymore, but I can and will continue. Human food is just too good!"

"So you'll need to go to the bathroom?"

"Nope," he pops the p like I sometimes do, "Angels release waste in a different way. My aura brightens a little, but the main way waste is released is through the skin, so my smell would be stronger."

I gasp. "You'll smell more like freshly baked cookies!" Raziel grins and nods. "Does that mean you'll taste more like a cookie too?"

He nods again, and I squeal and say, "Then eat all you want!"

A frown forms on his face. "And now I'm worried that you'll try to eat me," before the words are fully out of his mouth, he adds, "but maybe that's not such a bad thing."

I try to tsk without giggling but burst into a fit of giggles after two tsks. Raziel's smile widens as he watches me stick my tongue and very slowly lick his exposed stomach. His breath hitches and his eyes darken, but his amused smile remains intact. I giggle and lick him again. "Umm, you do taste a bit more like cookies!"

Raziel's deep laugh rings through the air and he shakes his head before saying, "And the last thing is that I can transport us anywhere on earth with the flap of my wings, so if you wanted to see your dad for an evening or have dinner in Panama and dessert in Belgium, we could do it."

"I would love that!" I sit up and Snow Cone hops off my chest and stretches before plunging head first into the pond. I scoot closer to Raziel on the grass, batting my eyelashes. "Aren't you going to show me your wings?"

An excited smile lights up his face and he bobs his head up and down, shooting up from the ground. He holds out his hand to me and kisses it once my hand slips into his. We walk towards his giant bed and he gestures for me to sit. The soft comfort of the bed immediately embraces me and I smile.

Raziel's ripped muscular, shirtless form stands at the edge of the bed. His pink aura dances around him and his smile shines just as brightly. He moves his shoulder backwards in a small circular motion and two massive light pink wings burst out from his back.

The curved tops of his wings stretch up into the air, slightly past his head. The broad wings frame his body, stopping near his knees. A cascade of beautiful pink feathers, all perfectly placed, make up the entirety of his wings.

My mouth hangs open as my eyes drift up to his face. A pink halo, the same colour as his wings, floats atop his head, complimenting his gorgeous, angelic look. His stature is daunting. With his wings, he towers over me like a glowing mountain, but his gaze and smile are soft, warm and full of love.

His dark brown eyes lock onto mine as he crawls across the bed, stalking towards me like a lion would move towards its prey. He stops and sits directly in front of me. "Do you like them?"

It takes me a moment to find my voice but when I do, it comes out in a high pitched squeal. "I do! They're beautiful! The most beautiful wings I've ever seen!"

The look of pride that washes over his face has my smile widening.

"Can I touch them?"

"You may."

I gasp as my fingers brush against his wings. It's like touching a layer of freshly fallen snow. However, instead of the cold temperature, they were warm to the touch and sent pleasant tingles running down my spine.

My fingers trace the edges of his wings, marvelling at their softness. They twitch ever so slightly under my touch and seem to be leaning closer, hoping for more caresses which I gladly give. My fingers glide over the small symbol on his right wing which matches the one on my chest and a feeling of possessiveness floods over me.

Raziel is all mine. My perfect angel boyfriend.

A quiet moan, barely audible over the muffled sound of the waterfall, catches my attention and my gaze drifts to Raziel's face. His eyes are closed and his head is tossed back as he bites into his bottom lip.

My eyes stay trained on his face as my hands continue their caress. Another moan escapes him and he suddenly tugs me onto his lap and pounces on my lips. I melt against him, readjusting myself so that I'm straddling him. His hands slide down my back, stopping under my butt.

I continue to caress his right wing with one hand while my other hand glides down his sculpted chest. My quiet moan is gobbled up by him as his tongue explores my mouth.

We're biting and sucking at each other's lips, both eliciting endless sounds of pleasure. I break the kiss and stare into the gorgeous brown eyes of my angel. With his flawless bronze skin, high cheekbones and thick eyebrows, he's the most beautiful being I've ever laid eyes on. "I love you, Raz."

Raziel's plump lips curve up at the sides and he kisses my nose. "And I love you, my Little Light."

I giggle and glue my lips back to his, making this a night we will never forget.
