In his mind, Shadow attempted to utter 'me too' when she declared being close to climax. He managed to register her words about not getting pregnant and recalling that tidbit of info repeatedly stated during orientation. He continued hoisting her up and letting her sink down on him at a pace and angle that elicited the biggest response from Raven. His mind could focus on her reactions and hoped he was reading her correctly, not minding the pain her nails caused him.

He couldn't verbally respond so he physically continued until his stamina was spent and their bodies clapped at the rate of their repeated union. A groan left him resembling more of a growl as he spilled deep inside of Raven. His body twitched after release. He trembled slightly yet didn't lose his grip, firmly holding up her weight. Shadow panted for breath before latching his mouth onto her neck with no regard of their tryst coming to a close.

"Fuck," he finally uttered barely above a whisper as his mouth moved from the spot on her neck. "That... was... really good."
