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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAggjnMnZePw
178Please respect copyright.PENANALI8nMhHt80
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAK6v3zsZT1P
178Please respect copyright.PENANAatriWKH8Wg
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAcySkgGRGbV
178Please respect copyright.PENANAS3bN3Hrtz1
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAg9bGtU91ew
178Please respect copyright.PENANAMht6XdQ2wv
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA7a7py5wTyO
178Please respect copyright.PENANArygeWVdSek
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAygCkdmoHKe
178Please respect copyright.PENANA9qdEQ99Kwx
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAS8FOcTg6WV
178Please respect copyright.PENANA8aDnCk89Mn
"We're here," Hanna said softly. "This is the address you gave me."178Please respect copyright.PENANATMtf0MzauB
178Please respect copyright.PENANAlFcBkDDhAh
He blinked at her, then took in the surroundings, still looking a bit out of it. "Good," he mumbled.178Please respect copyright.PENANAXLIDUet74G
178Please respect copyright.PENANAYJmmuSa0PP
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAV2RDGuA8z7
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXLyu72lhVS
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAFLjIM9NKdY
178Please respect copyright.PENANApQ4eSTxPVA
Hanna took his arm to steady him as she looked at him with concern. "Are you okay?"178Please respect copyright.PENANA8CtIFgC4Wq
178Please respect copyright.PENANAaKSgAjRO5P
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAUbda7FeDY9
178Please respect copyright.PENANAVuyoQNztAn
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAEh397be1In
178Please respect copyright.PENANAvWPGNfELSD
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAVVi47DhJ18
178Please respect copyright.PENANA9wxYPOghv2
"Are you alright?" Hanna repeated.178Please respect copyright.PENANA5lvNIkP4DX
178Please respect copyright.PENANAEcaq9idjSO
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAGhtjGGxgst
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQupeRXqrQE
"Alright, do you want help?" Hanna asked.178Please respect copyright.PENANAEkdduSfOYP
178Please respect copyright.PENANAjz1gCgzXFN
Ethan nodded reluctantly.178Please respect copyright.PENANAZtL2D8Ybim
178Please respect copyright.PENANAFXs1XMDkR0
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAb0srRhwavk
178Please respect copyright.PENANAiVSgFjG2Rj
Hanna gripped him tighter as he stumbled over a bump in the dirt, practically invisible under the moonlight. "We can go slower," she offered.178Please respect copyright.PENANAwp03gMEThS
178Please respect copyright.PENANAPW5Dk6uffj
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA6el1UsA2IK
178Please respect copyright.PENANAVLT5WS2jfL
"Oh. Right." Hanna blushed. She hadn't realized his condition was due to the heat. "Inside, then we can do whatever you want."178Please respect copyright.PENANA4459qgmugn
178Please respect copyright.PENANA6PydmpGBTZ
"Dangerous promise," Ethan mumbled faintly.178Please respect copyright.PENANA04Kkl12qFj
178Please respect copyright.PENANA1gDaEtcmBF
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAEzEvnH9ilZ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAyWQBX2RiC9
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAVe9WV6pF35
178Please respect copyright.PENANAaWGY3M26hC
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA4fnEa7rR3u
178Please respect copyright.PENANAMcC4LRg2os
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA3TKswESRQO
178Please respect copyright.PENANARTlORjXRFk
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAO2AD08LTGN
178Please respect copyright.PENANAdiGL7MkpZO
"Should I wear a front-clasping bra next time so it's easier for you to take off?" Hanna joked.178Please respect copyright.PENANAur9YzMZPci
178Please respect copyright.PENANAF67UZOhVzK
Ethan made a sound that was suspiciously close to a growl. "I'm trying not to break it."178Please respect copyright.PENANAFyouMZPplg
178Please respect copyright.PENANAkgFVazDfUA
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA4ub0V58kU4
178Please respect copyright.PENANAGCtHIQJWuG
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAxlk4wMErOk
178Please respect copyright.PENANAaPSD3oXlmX
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."178Please respect copyright.PENANAUXSLmkPwPI
178Please respect copyright.PENANAhnZdYGVGLu
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAZjJRvkae2p
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUSyDta5yVp
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA5TWzdCBvf7
178Please respect copyright.PENANAJVCNS1BtAT
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAGNsMwIPkHL
178Please respect copyright.PENANAAmRvyOTU4g
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAs4DqPd8RKP
178Please respect copyright.PENANAj52s2ED9bf
"Yes," Ethan managed.178Please respect copyright.PENANAF9PYOE0Fgh
178Please respect copyright.PENANAriQJrk4PLU
"Good," Hanna said softly. "Tell me if that changes."178Please respect copyright.PENANA8XF7NzhF2L
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmA0dKsHHRC
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA5shocwnNAz
178Please respect copyright.PENANA6kx451hd2I
"Can I touch you?" Hanna asked softly.178Please respect copyright.PENANA5gw6TMUra7
178Please respect copyright.PENANAusDipidEpW
"Yeah. Of course." Ethan didn't shift his focus from her breasts for a moment.178Please respect copyright.PENANANXU0x13f9X
178Please respect copyright.PENANA5N4T2xJXbN
Hanna cocked her head to the side slightly. "You said earlier..."178Please respect copyright.PENANA7lwlzfS3sU
178Please respect copyright.PENANAbau038j4bY
"It's just very arousing." Ethan's skin was nearly radiating warmth now. "It was frustrating back there."178Please respect copyright.PENANAyAuIwGQdey
178Please respect copyright.PENANA9EhuS5BzBb
Hanna ran a hand along his spine, noting the shiver that went through him. "So good now then?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAdX2rINfvQe
178Please respect copyright.PENANAeK05qpNsiM
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA7ONAnPhGrV
178Please respect copyright.PENANAi4UABdia6S
"It's nothing," Hanna answered dismissively as she stretched out her neck and adjusted her hair.178Please respect copyright.PENANA5jX5MOZPfM
178Please respect copyright.PENANAfB69YOaCwk
"Tell me," Ethan insisted.178Please respect copyright.PENANAv2Jft4FD2O
178Please respect copyright.PENANAgtiVDCm1hN
"Just the burns," Hanna answered reluctantly.178Please respect copyright.PENANAS5q2WqBaYS
178Please respect copyright.PENANA3vBBJiNWPe
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAqfE3hTqoSQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANA2zejJeSf9S
"I'll avoid them," Ethan spoke softly, "but you need to tell me if anything hurts."178Please respect copyright.PENANAAQdn0H2Tif
178Please respect copyright.PENANAvGxMQsLWzU
Hanna nodded then kissed his chest.178Please respect copyright.PENANALRSXjtGVhS
178Please respect copyright.PENANAyYx5YqFpBI
"I'm serious," he emphasized, looking into her deep brown eyes.178Please respect copyright.PENANAtJOfSoIg7Z
178Please respect copyright.PENANASxXvJOV1pb
"I will," she promised.178Please respect copyright.PENANAIEbCOJmV4V
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmE7AzP3r9S
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAfztHOwMmnd
178Please respect copyright.PENANAaRO3mwUocQ
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANADAngbRH1qN
178Please respect copyright.PENANAKXdawFd6cI
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAOboYApeB9L
178Please respect copyright.PENANATBIBJbZaxh
"I've got you," Ethan reassured her with a grin.178Please respect copyright.PENANAC37tK5l5wA
178Please respect copyright.PENANAyssP0AMR9o
"Uh." Hanna did not look very convinced, she glanced down at his ankle uncertainly.178Please respect copyright.PENANALxWeHN7ZxU
178Please respect copyright.PENANANzmqMQBZ8h
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAgpo3zOtLje
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUqPNNe21YA
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAxRpuN4Q317
178Please respect copyright.PENANAhR1kgVIVY7
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAuIxuqeRtqc
178Please respect copyright.PENANAupQYiX3RVM
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAjntnG1ftqb
178Please respect copyright.PENANAf6PuxaC5VO
"I want you to enjoy yourself," Ethan told her.178Please respect copyright.PENANAv8W2dWJSdQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAOoH6SHS1Tu
"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."178Please respect copyright.PENANABtv3wuYZXf
178Please respect copyright.PENANAeiqVZnR6xy
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA6SyTtrca15
178Please respect copyright.PENANAiOUeTKuuKO
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAgAcFx86kH5
178Please respect copyright.PENANAxd6fSwwyW4
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."178Please respect copyright.PENANAbTo15rvUCa
178Please respect copyright.PENANA1VlMTnKinb
"No objections," Hanna panted.178Please respect copyright.PENANAOckqDtzwAr
178Please respect copyright.PENANA3MFElKzrcn
"Good." Ethan smiled broadly.178Please respect copyright.PENANA87Nw34nbDs
178Please respect copyright.PENANAnyJwaHHZ6q
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANANXWAqXqbUb
178Please respect copyright.PENANA8dtnUAR3cx
"I'm ready," Hanna said, breathing heavy. She lifted herself above him.178Please respect copyright.PENANAlGpFE1bNy5
178Please respect copyright.PENANAceCJSEtBRI
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA4qwfiPeNFk
178Please respect copyright.PENANA67jEOD6DEk
She held as still as could, moaning softly at the new sensation.178Please respect copyright.PENANAx46q8M4CPd
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZjME0yltTi
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAf12hqembcR
178Please respect copyright.PENANAq9yFiVf8UQ
"Please!" Hanna moaned.178Please respect copyright.PENANAgf4hQq9WGj
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZqlv4zgP2t
Ethan grinned. "Please what?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAEhpNkTMUJn
178Please respect copyright.PENANAwgBrdq138P
"Please make love to me," Hanna whispered, looking down at him with lust-filled eyes.178Please respect copyright.PENANAksStYR86Nx
178Please respect copyright.PENANAfZrljp2RlR
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANANOanMyinjm
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUZuDtFSg94
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAzZEkRRfWQv
178Please respect copyright.PENANA5XVIasTUOG
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAKguGpt9gqx
178Please respect copyright.PENANA1ijzozZw8J
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAFdMmaPsXlz
178Please respect copyright.PENANA9PRt8FlUXH
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAdtqs6XQ6f0
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmpoCP6XLbk
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANACxmhMfJ2WP
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQHCZ4blzkp
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAZccA74ImTq
178Please respect copyright.PENANAwEbcDKcubg
"How is it?" Hanna asked breathlessly.178Please respect copyright.PENANACrfidO0uoo
178Please respect copyright.PENANAGaYnWQpPPy
"What do you mean?" Ethan asked, confused as he paused for a moment.178Please respect copyright.PENANAz7tp9oWdKx
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQgV9K2Hpyg
Hanna bit her lower lip. "Is it enough?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAmd5TcwdWeL
178Please respect copyright.PENANA4B8dq8bZ4b
Ethan almost laughed at her but only grinned. "You're perfect. All of you." He squeezed both sides of her waist.178Please respect copyright.PENANA8j0S2Weg7W
178Please respect copyright.PENANAIcHrqsc0lJ
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Ncl1krT5
178Please respect copyright.PENANAKg4sWng3xM
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAFtN95RJDB7
178Please respect copyright.PENANA54EasMnhGV
"Let me take you there," Hanna said softly. She lowered her face to his and kissed him deeply.178Please respect copyright.PENANAI9Q9WCBZZn
178Please respect copyright.PENANANB008RO1EC
His irritation vanished in an instant.178Please respect copyright.PENANAyQznJftHmz
178Please respect copyright.PENANAiSFaoecAs7
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAuCelEx0W27
178Please respect copyright.PENANA2UEOxk3N0o
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAT1dx9zSew8
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQLC0ZfrNc3
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA2sudTUYBVC
178Please respect copyright.PENANA3yPHLLBIcW
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA20T9CppDCE
178Please respect copyright.PENANA5S057Mi9Mv
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAph05AlD0CQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAci0dO3ZRy7
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAwOPumOTZL2
178Please respect copyright.PENANAbHv8vFQWPM
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAmXnNUDE10M
178Please respect copyright.PENANABg8GDBuL8E
"How are you doing?" Hanna asked softly, hoping he'd be able to talk.178Please respect copyright.PENANAZLEAtZXyAg
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQAOzI5xKjr
"Need a minute," Ethan mumbled, still panting.178Please respect copyright.PENANAYBrtzcDckN
178Please respect copyright.PENANA3FTXHXIbg2
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAy5c55UADUw
178Please respect copyright.PENANAeEMGdXjbxX
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAhoAVSk5Bu3
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXbFKWxwRND
She returned a few minutes later. "Can you walk?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAHZRI98g1pO
178Please respect copyright.PENANAOzMjnkbmGS
"Yes, I think so." Ethan was only panting lightly now. "I don't feel as dizzy as last time."178Please respect copyright.PENANA2zYn2y70VR
178Please respect copyright.PENANAH2CEMbCPZD
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAkqIKcCmf0E
178Please respect copyright.PENANAB3whBcPivT
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAry8XDPytcv
178Please respect copyright.PENANA3HA3fL8xB8
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAtPP80h9wlM
178Please respect copyright.PENANA5ao3gjHOnz
"How much blood did they take?" Hanna asked.178Please respect copyright.PENANAhMmR9rPrqF
178Please respect copyright.PENANAbEKD5AXRYG
"I saw a bag," Ethan answered uncertainly.178Please respect copyright.PENANACTeIqXUQ0C
178Please respect copyright.PENANAT5oyqCqwOs
"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."178Please respect copyright.PENANA3cmawrgdGt
178Please respect copyright.PENANAueAX2gRhBQ
Ethan's face reddened with embarrassment. "I swear I don't usually faint in the middle." He started to drink.178Please respect copyright.PENANAbTR2pnBdeE
178Please respect copyright.PENANAYeV8I62BpN
"Or you could just pretend I was so good you passed out," Hanna teased him mercilessly.178Please respect copyright.PENANAM7CtniRLKr
178Please respect copyright.PENANAVtI5wifY5E
Ethan let out a muffled coughed, trying his hardest not to laugh with a mouth full of water. He swallowed then coughed again.178Please respect copyright.PENANAqiVSycwdWo
178Please respect copyright.PENANAMzeBCyHkEs
Hanna frowned slightly. "Alright, no more jokes."178Please respect copyright.PENANAeycX6nVH32
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXzJkxjnLvF
"I'm fine," Ethan replied before finishing off the bottle.178Please respect copyright.PENANA12ErvZHVmU
178Please respect copyright.PENANA2AJfSeiyuE
Hanna grabbed the first aid kit and set it on the bed. "I want to check your ankle, okay?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAVdLpdVlHtT
178Please respect copyright.PENANAjSjesngbto
"Yeah." Ethan moved his leg up on to the bed.178Please respect copyright.PENANAPobiF7hsqE
178Please respect copyright.PENANADUygmSxEwf
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA2QKwZQvAHE
178Please respect copyright.PENANAvAFekLy6lW
"I'll need to clean this," Hanna concluded.178Please respect copyright.PENANA65lJJFXV5I
178Please respect copyright.PENANAacEURcEUU6
"I already did that," Ethan grumbled.178Please respect copyright.PENANABhPqiVCX7x
178Please respect copyright.PENANAwPNlODZkSq
"You didn't do a good enough job," Hanna responded. "I'll be right back." Ethan only nodded in response.178Please respect copyright.PENANAd2HPlgvcD4
178Please respect copyright.PENANAF9Y7tDRz2m
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?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAs00TTWDACQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZc1YzyzLVH
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAfy5P0TBrYS
178Please respect copyright.PENANAt62vCCJGnm
"Do you want more?" Hanna asked.178Please respect copyright.PENANAZpfWFxQ1MF
178Please respect copyright.PENANASl5w5IIAum
"No, just get it over with," Ethan said, readjusting his leg.178Please respect copyright.PENANA9jrI1UhCF1
178Please respect copyright.PENANAYjIUqqxZQH
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAMYfccSjCQb
178Please respect copyright.PENANA87l9cRMJiF
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAe6Nm7pTkCz
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXeNJW6WH2b
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAzd2Ae0Bg30
178Please respect copyright.PENANAGg4JxL1i1a
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAXiCNiNdnZC
178Please respect copyright.PENANAyat59MTENh
"My burns are gone," Hanna stated.178Please respect copyright.PENANALLn70t8RxZ
178Please respect copyright.PENANA9xpGsucRv5
"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?"178Please respect copyright.PENANA1r5cRh5b9g
178Please respect copyright.PENANAM4RLdNTBbU
Hanna eyed him curiously. "You tell me."178Please respect copyright.PENANAmWbaoS9jtD
178Please respect copyright.PENANAChs3wysP8V
Ethan stared at the area in disbelief, brushing his fingers along her neck. Then he yawned. "Let me sleep on this."178Please respect copyright.PENANAUkXS9MPDjc
178Please respect copyright.PENANA5myPbVJsjR
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."178Please respect copyright.PENANAI5bMzKW5S7
178Please respect copyright.PENANAqozwpHuOpR
"I'm not doing anything. I'm exhausted for a whole bunch of other reasons," Ethan explained. "Like having my blood stolen," he emphasized.178Please respect copyright.PENANAGTz3X5P1Mf
178Please respect copyright.PENANAu6WTTK4Bxf
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?"178Please respect copyright.PENANA4oJGgJFiGB
178Please respect copyright.PENANAwGkWCoUFXQ
"I need to know you're okay," Ethan mumbled, half-asleep.178Please respect copyright.PENANAODvhFKq2Ps
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZIK8MpsR4T
Hanna smiled at his request. "I'm much better than okay."178Please respect copyright.PENANABMoP4WMMxd
178Please respect copyright.PENANA9cPwhZCGqi
She saw a slight smile grace his tired face.178Please respect copyright.PENANAQoPbcghOwC
178Please respect copyright.PENANAoryVrqyGEX
"If you're going to leave, you should do it before I wake up," Ethan mumbled, quieter than before.178Please respect copyright.PENANA82YFwU9x3t
178Please respect copyright.PENANAOsGUmNhjNH
Hanna had a puzzled look on her face. "I'm not going to leave."178Please respect copyright.PENANAv2TE1xK8ua
178Please respect copyright.PENANA2iXwAbMV4s
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAG4Gpv4JQIW
