Hanna pulled up to a small cabin in the absolute middle of nowhere. She double checked the address Ethan had given her. This was the place. They had finally made it someplace out of the way. She was sure it was just the blackness of the night making the whole place a little spooky.167Please respect copyright.PENANAGhq4U1kCEe
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOW8euOyov9
It was difficult to see under the light of the waxing moon, but the ground and trees were still damp with last night's rainfall. The evergreens gave the area a subtle enclosed feeling, as if the place was hidden from the sky and everything else around it. The area around the building looked a bit overgrown and unkempt, like no one had been up here after the winter yet. Not only did the property appear to be quite large but, given the weather, there were likely less people around than usual which was a plus. At first glance, it seemed like a good spot to Hanna.167Please respect copyright.PENANAswUjtaV7HM
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJdJvrbGaRq
Hanna could tell that Ethan was still fast asleep. She decided to scout out the place out before trying to wake him up, it seemed like he could use the rest. She left the headlights on, locked the car doors and walked up the gravel road to the front door. Then, she tried the number Ethan had scribbled down in the combination lock and it clicked open quietly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvMowc1v1k8
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWonUwtXHhV
Through the front door, she found the living room, with the kitchen behind it. There were also two bedrooms and a bathroom. At least there's a hot water heater, Hanna thought, continuing her inventory. She found a first aid kit and stuck it in the bedroom, knowing they'd make use of it later.167Please respect copyright.PENANAAP42AByFq4
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7diXgcfzQJ
It didn't take her long to figure out how to turn the power and water on. Then found the light switches. She went to search the small, cozy kitchen. A fair amount of canned food here, Hanna noted approvingly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAEwUKZgDCNh
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsiEytaYapu
She realized this was meant to be a safe house. Probably where he would have gone if she'd told him his cover had been blown in the first place. It seemed well-stocked, secure and isolated. She was satisfied it was safe, at least for now.167Please respect copyright.PENANANQm94hazDi
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlc5ySZztY8
Her scouting completed, Hanna went back out to the car. She opened the passenger door and gently shook Ethan awake. Despite the drugs he'd taken earlier, he woke up quickly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAORgakqRA7t
167Please respect copyright.PENANAr0oJ6CElfC
"We're here," Hanna said softly. "This is the address you gave me."167Please respect copyright.PENANA580lEaWQDz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgXVSShKQNG
He blinked at her, then took in the surroundings, still looking a bit out of it. "Good," he mumbled.167Please respect copyright.PENANAsotjYCIoFY
167Please respect copyright.PENANArSSLyJUahs
"I didn't call anyone but are you sure there's no one you want me to contact? What about your family?" Hanna asked again, still confused as to why he was insistent on handling this on his own.167Please respect copyright.PENANA3PlvjU3M1m
167Please respect copyright.PENANARD1s8TN5so
Ethan shook his head. "No, we should be safe here now." He got out of the car and wobbled on his feet, he felt the gravel underneath his shoes shifting.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwia1mpjiOn
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHWMehERkKZ
Hanna took his arm to steady him as she looked at him with concern. "Are you okay?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAUd0tG7kTip
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmWWPoAK31f
Even such a simple touch was starting to arouse him, but he needed her support more than he wanted to admit. He leaned against the vehicle and she let go of him. The combined effects of the pills and heat were hitting him now, making his body feel like a battleground.167Please respect copyright.PENANA0UARHz4Qhr
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9vYXgCepP
Ethan took deep breaths of fresh air. No matter how much he wanted to, throwing her down on the ground here and having her right now would probably not be very pleasant. At the moment, he needed to focus on getting someplace more suitable. Preferably with many soft surfaces he could throw her down on. He tried to not distract himself further.167Please respect copyright.PENANAnBdIrDOGdH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAYtPKycrcQf
"We should go inside," Ethan mumbled. The fire growing inside him was starting to counteract the effects of the drugs. Making him feel more awake and aware.167Please respect copyright.PENANAYgbIWICXP9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAhiMFKqrdow
"Are you alright?" Hanna repeated.167Please respect copyright.PENANAac7EmWszVX
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ6umlFuJY
Ethan made a frustrated sound. "No. We need to get inside," he repeated more urgently. Despite his tone, he wasn't moving, he was still leaning against the car.167Please respect copyright.PENANAx18VZKXj9t
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwHJ5BN3Qx2
"Alright, do you want help?" Hanna asked.167Please respect copyright.PENANAnGBOHtHtvw
167Please respect copyright.PENANATxrttasnx3
Ethan nodded reluctantly.167Please respect copyright.PENANARxQoCHH937
167Please respect copyright.PENANA64MdHFm0hP
Hanna draped his arm over her shoulder. "Okay, let's go." She took only some of his weight, helping him keep his balance more than anything else. She noticed how he was clearly in a rush, despite his current state.167Please respect copyright.PENANABhFfSiWDZS
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtKHXWqgb8m
Hanna gripped him tighter as he stumbled over a bump in the dirt, practically invisible under the moonlight. "We can go slower," she offered.167Please respect copyright.PENANAOHIsRZxjcc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaWMP3hdegs
"Not unless you want me to rip your clothes off out here," Ethan grumbled, eyes laser focused on the front door. He was trying desperately not to think about her touch.167Please respect copyright.PENANAD3VLka7IjG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZixDPidWRj
"Oh. Right." Hanna blushed. She hadn't realized his condition was due to the heat. "Inside, then we can do whatever you want."167Please respect copyright.PENANAQYiRyjUMrb
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdwg5ouTBhR
"Dangerous promise," Ethan mumbled faintly.167Please respect copyright.PENANA7ndSYlcrCU
167Please respect copyright.PENANACjA77xK7P0
Hanna blushed harder. She continued walking with him towards the cabin. On the way, she started to mentally catalogue Ethan's symptoms out of habit. The quick and shallow breathing. How the pink tint in his cheeks seemed to be making it's way down his neck. The tension in his jaw.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwegmYz670e
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3wQHfN0sbK
They were nearly at the front door. He didn't need her support anymore. He lowered his arm to her waist, pressing her onwards now. Hanna felt herself getting wet with anticipation as Ethan opened the door in a rush.167Please respect copyright.PENANAjxhEZZK1TY
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8JcX8hf0cW
Ethan let his control slip as soon as they crossed the threshold. They were barely inside when he grabbed her and started kissing her. Every kiss, every touch on her skin, was intoxicating. It all made him just want her more.167Please respect copyright.PENANAYqRY4ym5Zr
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1eA28pbfgA
Everything about her, every part of her, was so damn hot. Ethan wasn't sure if it was the heat making him feel this way but he didn't care. He wanted her now. Nothing was going to get in his way.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvZEvbyFO0t
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJUKHBfcZ7X
Hanna slyly closed the door behind them. She rushed to take off her clothes, before he started ripping them off, but he was already ahead of her. He pulled her shirt over her head then started fumbling with her bra's clasp. She found that kind of funny and let him play with it for a minute.167Please respect copyright.PENANAnlIlCz0EaF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWCGIOAVDCr
"Should I wear a front-clasping bra next time so it's easier for you to take off?" Hanna joked.167Please respect copyright.PENANAmvgvEun05b
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVWSWjFgAxA
Ethan made a sound that was suspiciously close to a growl. "I'm trying not to break it."167Please respect copyright.PENANAtF4zGz4lZk
167Please respect copyright.PENANA216OAn6DdI
She could feel his hot breath on her cheek, fast and inconsistent. She felt him grind against her, already hard. So this is what the heat's really like, she thought to herself. It looks like some things weren't an exaggeration.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwA7yT4bSxy
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyagOs5Tmeu
Hanna saw a feral look in his eyes that was so damn sexy she nearly dismissed the idea that it might be a bad sign. Feeling his frustration and figuring she'd move things along, she guided his hands to push her bra together and it came undone. Just like that, the garment was gone.167Please respect copyright.PENANANDaq3diWts
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkzzioDNF6z
She noted he didn't even slow down at the success. He tried to take off her pants so frantically she nearly fell over. "I've got it," she said, shooing his hands away for the instant. "You've got your own things to deal with."167Please respect copyright.PENANATJd3YP1OiV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgIcAloYQzo
She'd been warned Charax could be almost animalistic when it came to sex but this was the first time she saw how accurate that could be. He seemed so focused and driven but clumsy and impatient all at once.167Please respect copyright.PENANAiSxfYqseGD
167Please respect copyright.PENANATUoyc2w8lg
He seemed to finally realize he'd take to take off his own clothes as well, not simply hers. He pulled his shirt up over his head and nearly hit her with it. He seemed to fumble around with his own belt buckle. She took his hands in hers to still them and get his attention. She looked into his eyes, they were bordering on desperate. "Calm down," she ordered.167Please respect copyright.PENANA7NLQOasQTT
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9hg6l2en0x
Ethan closed his eyes and attempted to steady his breathing. Hanna took the chance to undo his belt buckle for him. Then she held his hand lightly. He gripped her hand in return, using the feel of her skin to ground himself as the waves of arousal washed over him.167Please respect copyright.PENANACT9pSznFoj
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWk97ekoWSF
"Better?" She asked, all she got was a nod in return. She wasn't satisfied with that, she held his jaw, gently encouraging him to face her. He opened his eyes, now clear and focused. "Better?" She repeated.167Please respect copyright.PENANAAAa1FDMXvF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAV9hvsXDUGW
"Yes," Ethan managed.167Please respect copyright.PENANAWRBKBMuTe9
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnW7encrIWR
"Good," Hanna said softly. "Tell me if that changes."167Please respect copyright.PENANAFEKkRTutoE
167Please respect copyright.PENANAV3xJoDiiy1
Ethan nodded, getting right back into the flow. He ran his hands all over her skin, feeling her in places she didn't know she enjoyed. That just made her want to touch him more.167Please respect copyright.PENANAOr1verqsgp
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4C8QyLGjn
"Can I touch you?" Hanna asked softly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAHA8EBYDCuB
167Please respect copyright.PENANASigoeWap5o
"Yeah. Of course." Ethan didn't shift his focus from her breasts for a moment.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1WB3K7RRRK
167Please respect copyright.PENANASW4sifORSO
Hanna cocked her head to the side slightly. "You said earlier..."167Please respect copyright.PENANABfEdxpQHwc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWfmiDUSlq7
"It's just very arousing." Ethan's skin was nearly radiating warmth now. "It was frustrating back there."167Please respect copyright.PENANAeGVDapPDfP
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxlzRiYEZJj
Hanna ran a hand along his spine, noting the shiver that went through him. "So good now then?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA2NgRHSXguO
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcKt9WP3pbb
"Yes." Ethan kissed her breast. "Very." He planted another kiss on her collarbone. He kissed her again, accidentally putting his hand on her neck, partially on the burned skin. She winced at the painful sensation. He felt her reaction and pulled back immediately to get a good look at her.
"What is it?" Ethan asked with concern in his eyes.167Please respect copyright.PENANAmXUWjpwVk3
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWM1wUzrfef
"It's nothing," Hanna answered dismissively as she stretched out her neck and adjusted her hair.167Please respect copyright.PENANAItA3ASZ6WI
167Please respect copyright.PENANACsBtXbBRyG
"Tell me," Ethan insisted.167Please respect copyright.PENANAqEXZ7Zc7ty
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9k1bK4weY2
"Just the burns," Hanna answered reluctantly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAkzetMXfIzz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvKhjEqcecO
Ethan pushed back her hair to take another look at them. They looked worst, small blisters had formed and the skin around them looked red and inflamed. He wished they'd just go away. He hated what they represented.167Please respect copyright.PENANAhwgbdV31Dc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQA9tCg7qNy
"I'll avoid them," Ethan spoke softly, "but you need to tell me if anything hurts."167Please respect copyright.PENANARs0B3yqtIm
167Please respect copyright.PENANANyO9YjKKCJ
Hanna nodded then kissed his chest.167Please respect copyright.PENANAB2xZ9OolG3
167Please respect copyright.PENANASV46zJHCTl
"I'm serious," he emphasized, looking into her deep brown eyes.167Please respect copyright.PENANA2eUeGe7HSQ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxzcqx39dVv
"I will," she promised.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvia8qe0rIZ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHWPVGq2yg4
He tilted her chin upwards slightly, there being little difference in their height, and kissed her deeply, pushing his tongue into her mouth. He kept her there for a moment, before breaking away. She stood there, breathless and dazed, afterwards.167Please respect copyright.PENANATMBAcitCyz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAKGse6x1wbR
Ethan managed to get the rest of his clothes off on his own. She was almost undressed. He took a second to orient himself in the room. She had just slipped off her panties.167Please respect copyright.PENANAO9FssvzYx2
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxyUZeOAukw
Seeing the sofa behind him, he decided he wanted her on top of him. Just in case. He bent down and picked her up by her armpits and she instinctively wrapped her legs around him, letting out a small yelp in surprise. His hard cock was sandwiched between them as he held her.167Please respect copyright.PENANASOsX2hZrNU
167Please respect copyright.PENANADXbKfwPIOW
"I've got you," Ethan reassured her with a grin.167Please respect copyright.PENANA7Buf2OAySu
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnqbqaeL8G8
"Uh." Hanna did not look very convinced, she glanced down at his ankle uncertainly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAdDGU0k0U1a
167Please respect copyright.PENANAU8M0EEAm9U
He then sat himself down on to the soft, worn cushions of the sofa, leaning backwards. Straddling him with her knees on the cushions, she had to throw her hands out onto his shoulders to keep from falling on top of him unexpectedly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAxyzGbcWSQa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAiLyhydHZZ6
She readjusted herself so could sit on his thighs without worrying about falling over. His fingers started racing over her skin, moving downwards then playing around her centre. He found her folds, investigating them with his fingers as his searched for what he wanted. She trembled slightly, enjoying that sensation.167Please respect copyright.PENANADNpKeiln2S
167Please respect copyright.PENANArWdG0wrBzA
"We could find the bedroom before-" she was cut off mid-sentence by her own gasp of pleasure, he had managed to find her clit. He smiled, enjoying his success and continued to stimulate the area.167Please respect copyright.PENANAz9O0izOEym
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUK8z6D7Ni7
It seems he wasn't trying to race through things like last time or not as much as last time at least. She wasn't going to be walking anywhere as long as he was doing that.167Please respect copyright.PENANAt0DSJsBiSV
167Please respect copyright.PENANAPQcQm1Ou9b
"I want you to enjoy yourself," Ethan told her.167Please respect copyright.PENANAPHeNBWTnWH
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvDzldgcfHt
"Oh, I am." She threw her head back and let out another gasp between breaths as he continued to tease her. "Believe me," she responded. "Don't worry." She moaned. "It's your heat, take what you need."167Please respect copyright.PENANAFinimwuNdc
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8IPOrNdMLD
Ethan considered that, not stopping his motion. Maybe he wasn't thinking straight, maybe this was another part of the heat. Some biological imperative to convince her to become his mate and bear his children. That idea seemed a bit far fetched to him.167Please respect copyright.PENANAUqIs3YrSHv
167Please respect copyright.PENANAj7tJVnyL2R
Last time had been a rush, a band-aid solution, now he was starting to feel a deeper connection to her. He could take his time with her now and he wanted to. Maybe he shouldn't risk getting so attached to someone he was going to have to leave anyways.167Please respect copyright.PENANAlDVZ6SEpa0
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0cMFRWMNTT
Ethan decided he didn't care. He knew he loved the sounds escaping her lips and he wanted to hear more. It was that simple. "Okay, it's my heat and this is what I want to do."167Please respect copyright.PENANA76x6mE2F2E
167Please respect copyright.PENANAGYgoz8K0w6
"No objections," Hanna panted.167Please respect copyright.PENANA6jmwQGsqWc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAm9kZfjjKNn
"Good." Ethan smiled broadly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAidXOHiIzqf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAo65P4JW26G
He was surprised at how vocal she was. She must have been holding back previously but there was no one to overhear them out here. He was glad she felt safe enough to be that loud, he enjoyed hearing her. He rubbed circles into her sensitive spot and delighted in watching her throw her head back.167Please respect copyright.PENANABwFvhdsiGf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqrd9oC7gMo
"I'm ready," Hanna said, breathing heavy. She lifted herself above him.167Please respect copyright.PENANAHM1ov1bTj8
167Please respect copyright.PENANArI3ehhYhLT
"I'll be the judge of that," Ethan said, pulling his fingers back from her clit. "Stay still." He traced his finger along her skin until he found her entrance, then stuck a finger in her pussy to feel how wet she was.167Please respect copyright.PENANAt8bxGU1dEw
167Please respect copyright.PENANAh63OvXb7ii
She held as still as could, moaning softly at the new sensation.167Please respect copyright.PENANADd2P8JJoNK
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1MOucSHXwx
"Hold still for me." He felt her tense up inside and his finger came away slick. He was in agreement, she was more than wet enough for what he wanted.167Please respect copyright.PENANAKgm3CnvWpo
167Please respect copyright.PENANA05ZObnyJAg
"Please!" Hanna moaned.167Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwGNOesKC
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0RZQQ6mJai
Ethan grinned. "Please what?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA13aFz5NaAJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZffYPBm9qa
"Please make love to me," Hanna whispered, looking down at him with lust-filled eyes.167Please respect copyright.PENANAnAEadEUwFb
167Please respect copyright.PENANATHbtBrpBq7
Ethan couldn't keep the delight off his face. He put his arms around her waist and gently pulled her closer so they'd be lined up. He thrust up towards her, lifting his hips off the sofa.167Please respect copyright.PENANAf8K2Gtd2bq
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwzUccBVxMb
As he pushed the head in, he felt her clamp down on him. She was so warm, so good. He exhaled softly. For a moment, he felt like his body was torn between climaxing right there and wanting this to go on forever. He watched her chest rise and fall with her face looking up at the ceiling.167Please respect copyright.PENANAxy1qLIb2my
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXghwT1va9e
He paused there, waiting a moment to see if she'd open up to him. Not willing to force himself in, he simply spoke to her softly. "Relax." She shuddered and let out a breath, twisting to look at him again with happiness in her eyes.167Please respect copyright.PENANAeAxEI8hjDA
167Please respect copyright.PENANAPDjlkXVn5x
He then found he had room to move deeper inside her. He sighed as he went further, feeling the pressure buildup within him starting to decrease now that he was in the moment.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvBbFfVM13l
167Please respect copyright.PENANANlPxvEuoCm
Hanna gasped as he made his first thrust into her. She seemed to inadvertently lower herself more than planned. Her body reacted by throwing her head back and arching her back, fully exposing her bronze breasts beautifully.167Please respect copyright.PENANAW6wINmk1O6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnYKIwHaOjD
Her walls were wrapping around him, squeezing him and awakening areas of his mind that he didn't even know existed. This was so unlike any time before, any time he'd had sex before the heat. Even last time hadn't felt like this, but he'd been too stressed and too concerned to properly enjoy it.167Please respect copyright.PENANAoADFCjnGb6
167Please respect copyright.PENANAE6pPvhMGuU
He hadn't had a chance to savour it before, to savour being inside her. It didn't just feel good, it felt right, and while he relished the feeling of his cock finally deep inside her, those bouncing petite breasts were just begging for his attention. He kissed them both before letting his hips settle back down so he could thrust up again.167Please respect copyright.PENANATzBPLLQqtu
167Please respect copyright.PENANA72ZAHUXbkn
"How is it?" Hanna asked breathlessly.167Please respect copyright.PENANASJq8VV6c1f
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkTCoaCdMmC
"What do you mean?" Ethan asked, confused as he paused for a moment.167Please respect copyright.PENANA72AAFm8QxT
167Please respect copyright.PENANAF1so0SsF7n
Hanna bit her lower lip. "Is it enough?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAkaqPBd3wnp
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gzjk81n5q
Ethan almost laughed at her but only grinned. "You're perfect. All of you." He squeezed both sides of her waist.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwHcrc529td
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9xLlW22ivR
Hanna blushed generously at the compliment. He started to thrust back into her at a slow pace. He was planning to take his time with her, go slow and shallow. She didn't have the same plan.167Please respect copyright.PENANA29EZLoxpMj
167Please respect copyright.PENANALh51gn51Nu
She lowered herself down slightly, sliding further down his cock. He gasped at the feeling of her engulfing him more. She smirked at him as he thrust deeper now. She ended up lowering herself all the way, pushing him down with her weight and nearly damping his moments entirely. He was mildly irritated at the control being taken away from him.167Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2i7si21yr
167Please respect copyright.PENANAttANbawMO2
"Let me take you there," Hanna said softly. She lowered her face to his and kissed him deeply.167Please respect copyright.PENANAWbmdAGKTyJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANASWTrAcSYs4
His irritation vanished in an instant.167Please respect copyright.PENANApib7rRaIkC
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfC7isUQur3
Then she started riding him, setting the pace. She soon had him panting and grunting under her. So damn sexy, she thought, I could watch this all day.167Please respect copyright.PENANAFg8daXXTjv
167Please respect copyright.PENANAh3lgEtQiHs
He was so close now. He'd prefer to last a little while longer, he could see how much she was enjoying it, but he was reaching his limit. He couldn't hold back any longer, then was rewarded with ecstasy and release flooding his senses.167Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rtk4HZR5D
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHnssAzGtVm
Hanna heard a deep, low groan from deep within him but she kept going, drawing him out as much as she could. She watched him carefully, eyes peeled for any signs he was going to faint. She smiled slyly as she saw the expression on his face.167Please respect copyright.PENANAx73pr65Q9c
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEKJ6hykWNJ
Suddenly, he gripped her hips tightly against him, stopping her movements with his cock as deep as it could go. He closed his eyes, trying to forget everything except this moment. He wanted to feel her, wanted to just sit there in the afterglow without the pressure, or the drive of the heat, just to sit there with her in satisfaction. This time felt so much better than the last. He was tired without being exhausted. Dizzy but not lightheaded, and he didn't feel like he was going to faint this time.167Please respect copyright.PENANAdotMIoZjTX
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0uwdff2eEm
Hanna squirmed a bit but he held his grip and she tried her best to stay still. She could feel his cock just sitting there, deep inside her and it was driving her a bit crazy. She tried not to think about it, instead opting to watch him closely, remembering what had happened previously. She couldn't see his face now, as he rested his forehead against her chest.167Please respect copyright.PENANAEMipkfVsQF
167Please respect copyright.PENANANfTyPiezu8
He was panting heavily but she didn't think he'd lose consciousness. He still appeared to have a bit of trouble catching his breath. His hair was sweaty and pasted to his forehead. When she went to brush it aside, he leaned into her touch.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvfWhoLFfHM
167Please respect copyright.PENANAkJGyz2uuAb
He felt her start squirming again and couldn't resist a smirk. He found that incredibly cute. He'd have to see how long she could take it before begging another time, as he could feel himself start to soften. As soon as she started to move, he loosened his arms, releasing her. He rested his head back against the cushions, eyes closed.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvisQ9HsPuj
167Please respect copyright.PENANApMB7PbqD8y
"How are you doing?" Hanna asked softly, hoping he'd be able to talk.167Please respect copyright.PENANAceEsJQb6yG
167Please respect copyright.PENANAg71O6cIqg6
"Need a minute," Ethan mumbled, still panting.167Please respect copyright.PENANAVwISxi5q3D
167Please respect copyright.PENANAUUaggtri5t
Hanna got off of him carefully and went to clean herself up in the washroom. She checked on the burns, wanting to make the blisters weren't broken, to find them completely gone. The bruises might have been a mistake but these burns had healed unnaturally fast, it was impressive. She wondered if Ethan knew what he was doing and if this was related to his level of exhaustion.167Please respect copyright.PENANA4nrG6olGfI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAniupL6QKRP
Ethan regretted letting her leave almost immediately. His desire to touch her, to be close to her, was still strong. He suppressed a growl of displeasure, he knew he couldn't keep her next to him constantly and he wasn't going to whine about her leaving for a few moments. He'd just have to get used to this feeling of emptiness, it was just another Charax urge to suppress.167Please respect copyright.PENANAn1HajrYbao
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8DF9Og0hux
She returned a few minutes later. "Can you walk?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAw9iwCtBAL9

"Yes, I think so." Ethan was only panting lightly now. "I don't feel as dizzy as last time."167Please respect copyright.PENANA9SkFMv80TN
167Please respect copyright.PENANAJTUY0VAgHL
Hanna helped him up, noticing how unsteady he was, then she nudged him towards the bedroom. When that didn't work, she took his arm and led him over. Once in the main bedroom, she got him to sit down on the king-sized bed so she could check him over again.167Please respect copyright.PENANAtVCHvuQT9O
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgW5LQh0Be7
Hanna could tell that he was already starting to get better, even if it was only slowly. At least his temperature is back to normal, Hanna thought, I'm not going to pretend I understand what's going on there. Pretty sure sex doesn't cure fevers in Terrans.167Please respect copyright.PENANAsIIZRBYTGM
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbLaEgUEaRp
She could tell he was still exhausted, despite the nap on the way here and fluctuating energy levels. She wondered if he had slept there at all. Probably not, she figured, unless they knocked him out. He might be a bit dehydrated but she concluded he was going to be fine.167Please respect copyright.PENANARpyY8RcwOR
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjo5uPFWV43
"How much blood did they take?" Hanna asked.167Please respect copyright.PENANATORmZi5TuE
167Please respect copyright.PENANAP12E7qrjbz
"I saw a bag," Ethan answered uncertainly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAj1PwaHddXy
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8kvfJO2TOJ
"Probably more. That might be the reason behind some of these problems," Hanna reasoned. "Drink some more water, that'll help." She passed him a water bottle. "I'm really glad you didn't faint this time, it's a good sign."167Please respect copyright.PENANAi4jJ4We82a
167Please respect copyright.PENANAullNbvVs3Y
Ethan's face reddened with embarrassment. "I swear I don't usually faint in the middle." He started to drink.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1QO4KTN2aF
167Please respect copyright.PENANAErOlslmsTO
"Or you could just pretend I was so good you passed out," Hanna teased him mercilessly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAoyIswX9l7y
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z7OGk3nDG
Ethan let out a muffled coughed, trying his hardest not to laugh with a mouth full of water. He swallowed then coughed again.167Please respect copyright.PENANAy0HCRSnJxu
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1xhlytNCFW
Hanna frowned slightly. "Alright, no more jokes."167Please respect copyright.PENANAeW5DnSkakm
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaG7K8NRunq
"I'm fine," Ethan replied before finishing off the bottle.167Please respect copyright.PENANApIt1tlELgO
167Please respect copyright.PENANA63f24kpszU
Hanna grabbed the first aid kit and set it on the bed. "I want to check your ankle, okay?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA1OOnmXtCcf
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZeCClIkwmI
"Yeah." Ethan moved his leg up on to the bed.167Please respect copyright.PENANAVCf2CXdhOu
167Please respect copyright.PENANACsORPB1E9S
Hanna peeled off the poorly applied bandage carefully. The good news was it didn't look infected. The bad news was that it was still bleeding. She noted the wound was healing at the rate she'd expect from a normal Terran, definitely lacking the healing boost that her injuries had gotten.167Please respect copyright.PENANAH6sj7crzVf
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4IpZq0v6Ft
"I'll need to clean this," Hanna concluded.167Please respect copyright.PENANA3MC3uDay4g
167Please respect copyright.PENANABQ1NgOfHCA
"I already did that," Ethan grumbled.167Please respect copyright.PENANA5XLpKhCl9O
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWCOQ8eHoF2
"You didn't do a good enough job," Hanna responded. "I'll be right back." Ethan only nodded in response.167Please respect copyright.PENANAkYGhslNIpI
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdaZTEVABmr
Hanna got a wet cloth and fresh bandages. She dabbed at the wound, trying to get the dirt out. He jerked his leg back with a grimace and she stopped. "Sorry. Did you take some of the painkillers?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAv65MGxMA0D
167Please respect copyright.PENANACbYAfqHQZm
"Yes," he lied. He didn't want any. The pain was the only other thing keeping the full force of the heat out of his head. It could already feel overwhelming as it was and he didn't want to find out how much stronger it could get.167Please respect copyright.PENANAVNOTJWFAXp
167Please respect copyright.PENANAH6XtJiGfbn
"Do you want more?" Hanna asked.167Please respect copyright.PENANAO0LzlAmkHB
167Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5hDsSlAU6
"No, just get it over with," Ethan said, readjusting his leg.167Please respect copyright.PENANAXSUHJesuwz
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaR1cQXU98G
Hanna finished cleaning the wound. She taped it back together with fresh bandages, hoping it would stop bleeding once he stopped using it. She handed Ethan the cloth so he could wipe off some of the other dirt off his skin before heading to the kitchen for a glass of water. By the time she got back, he was already in the bed and from the look of him, half asleep too. She set the glass on the table, next to the empty water bottle, and sat down on the bed.167Please respect copyright.PENANAAUJ7KaVx7E
167Please respect copyright.PENANAuz2C3iSGtF
Hanna started thinking about her next move when Ethan started pulling her into the bed. She was easily persuaded into getting under the warm covers with him. When she did, he immediately pulled her in close to him.167Please respect copyright.PENANA7uLkM5q6ON
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnbWQxD0dBu
Hanna was a bit startled. Sex, she'd been expecting that, everyone knew Charax men got extremely horny in heat. Cuddles, not so expected. She didn't mind, even though it wasn't usually her thing.167Please respect copyright.PENANAlcSKrAMN2M
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVK8rwO4rC3
It's not like I got a brochure about Charax, she thought in amusement. This day had been nothing but surprising to her, she figured she should almost start expecting the unexpected. She wondered what else she didn't know about heat. Maybe the rapid healing was a part of that. While she was here and he was still awake, she might as well ask him. She twisted around to face him.167Please respect copyright.PENANA25rced8JCc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcCw3oFDizK
"My burns are gone," Hanna stated.167Please respect copyright.PENANAHVHZ1xfB51
167Please respect copyright.PENANAmlekMn7B1b
"What?" Ethan said groggily, moving her hair aside to check her neck. He repeatedly ran his fingers along the smooth skin where the collar had burned her, as if he couldn't believe what he was feeling. "How?"167Please respect copyright.PENANAxsM4ZTlUwu
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFHug0op9Di
Hanna eyed him curiously. "You tell me."167Please respect copyright.PENANAy88kGxPz01
167Please respect copyright.PENANAsb4GwLe2q4
Ethan stared at the area in disbelief, brushing his fingers along her neck. Then he yawned. "Let me sleep on this."167Please respect copyright.PENANAxf261hx52q
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbHiKEwdvnA
Hanna gripped his hand. "If you're doing something and it's exhausting you then you need to stop. I can deal with some burns and bruises. You're in worse shape."167Please respect copyright.PENANAvgtWF6HYso
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfgfxNwmr5r
"I'm not doing anything. I'm exhausted for a whole bunch of other reasons," Ethan explained. "Like having my blood stolen," he emphasized.167Please respect copyright.PENANAdabwPhOSqJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAN5XAeyRTxC
Hanna looked at him skeptically but didn't want to push the issue, seeing as his eyelids were already drooping. "Okay. Before you fall asleep, do you need anything else?"167Please respect copyright.PENANA2SdxmFqJ3w
167Please respect copyright.PENANA33aFB6rsMR
"I need to know you're okay," Ethan mumbled, half-asleep.167Please respect copyright.PENANAgDxaMjiGEa
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlPqPBpwUqN
Hanna smiled at his request. "I'm much better than okay."167Please respect copyright.PENANAVY9ehU35gz
167Please respect copyright.PENANA8DwXgg5slr
She saw a slight smile grace his tired face.167Please respect copyright.PENANAnQA7tivX56
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6nO57Ws0va
"If you're going to leave, you should do it before I wake up," Ethan mumbled, quieter than before.167Please respect copyright.PENANAfjay3fV54o
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzoDfrJVu8T
Hanna had a puzzled look on her face. "I'm not going to leave."167Please respect copyright.PENANAR7eUqoiO8R
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjqFmwC8zF0
Ethan didn't respond, already asleep. Hanna relaxed next to him, watching him for a bit. Before long, she began to feel drowsy herself. It wasn't late in her mind but some sleep wouldn't hurt, it had been a long drive anyways. She yawned and let herself drift off in his arms.167Please respect copyright.PENANA21wpmpN9aB
