After another round of intense love making, with Vera still the one being in control, Vera finally fell asleep in Gideon's arms, sated and fully spent without an ounce of extra energy left.
Gideon, after seeing her breathing deeply, fully asleep from fatigue, rose from the bed then took a wash basin filled with warm water and a soft towel and proceeded to silently wipe her clean. After changing the sheets with the help of his magic, he felt a presence approaching the house. Since the monsters did not make any commotion, Gideon knew it must be one of those who had been present at the scene when he had ordered the monsters not to attack them.
Grabbing the blanket and covering Vera fully, clothes materialized over his body as he approached the door. He could already sense who the person was behind the door.
Azrael was standing there, grinning happily at him. Somehow, his grin did not annoy Gideon as much as it usually did.
