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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAgWkaFMcnBo
146Please respect copyright.PENANAG0f99o7w4Y
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANApB4T6oiEmV
146Please respect copyright.PENANAT9Dqa5wihc
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAfOW0JWtuDL
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlfZ0UlQHRt
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAf21I1jMDSN
146Please respect copyright.PENANApwTucu0v6I
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAlGC2D4k7NW
146Please respect copyright.PENANATC8MhpM7K3
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAuFJj7h90T3
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYET9Wm3ABH
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAPDDvRYDhZ3
146Please respect copyright.PENANASoVeVYv2JD
"We're here," Hanna said softly. "This is the address you gave me."146Please respect copyright.PENANA872dIvHPnI
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWyqojrF6Ho
He blinked at her, then took in the surroundings, still looking a bit out of it. "Good," he mumbled.146Please respect copyright.PENANA9fCIygNiam
146Please respect copyright.PENANATitlpF0Buo
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANARl4JpwbI1j
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtoGWMwSuL9
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAVYDVWMMH0P
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqwkiyJaK42
Hanna took his arm to steady him as she looked at him with concern. "Are you okay?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAGBc9fqn5v4
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKwDyvri8Uh
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANArf0PjpAuAm
146Please respect copyright.PENANAB6MbpqBdV4
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA5WvPcfgjax
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQMVT3dIOKh
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAM4iSkOP4Qo
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ1DcNmcmx
"Are you alright?" Hanna repeated.146Please respect copyright.PENANA82pwmkq378
146Please respect copyright.PENANAa8LPi1ZrNX
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAoV6rxroNpH
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZCpWCZkalF
"Alright, do you want help?" Hanna asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAz2TAKAHQUS
146Please respect copyright.PENANAebfDnzLeBR
Ethan nodded reluctantly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAF6dpLQQF7x
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUFpn5CSV50
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA25YHrqJyvj
146Please respect copyright.PENANACYeDpZWZ3f
Hanna gripped him tighter as he stumbled over a bump in the dirt, practically invisible under the moonlight. "We can go slower," she offered.146Please respect copyright.PENANAY0IybbJ0Nh
146Please respect copyright.PENANAveJ1iPxwJc
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAF1uDngAzev
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3EebHdbMH2
"Oh. Right." Hanna blushed. She hadn't realized his condition was due to the heat. "Inside, then we can do whatever you want."146Please respect copyright.PENANAziIjkTFJdQ
146Please respect copyright.PENANABTbWHlnqBF
"Dangerous promise," Ethan mumbled faintly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAfjsDs0avP9
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwzjZLPXVuL
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANASPqsGjgWwZ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEy1Lfg8LXZ
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANARUB8TQNl04
146Please respect copyright.PENANAcAE1HPkBDK
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA9FFgMprBDw
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVlZk1qzHQy
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAliuOPKH7Ko
146Please respect copyright.PENANAjchD9WpwNx
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAZXtL4Nchn8
146Please respect copyright.PENANACqrYqLNBgb
"Should I wear a front-clasping bra next time so it's easier for you to take off?" Hanna joked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAeYEvSTTPM7
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwCXBx3KQKq
Ethan made a sound that was suspiciously close to a growl. "I'm trying not to break it."146Please respect copyright.PENANAklVZRf2ctJ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwfsEw7u9Jt
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAbRwkeZAAxK
146Please respect copyright.PENANAGgn8P9VXch
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAYjWicYW4vC
146Please respect copyright.PENANASbp87mYbEx
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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAZHzZp5LpAX
146Please respect copyright.PENANAabyXi6rBTY
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Q9f7Hk7V
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqzC0WB7dBd
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAkqThkp7c3I
146Please respect copyright.PENANAg0ddj7VdF3
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAYTEdgo9xpk
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlU9CsQ5Sax
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAO0CFoeVB0m
146Please respect copyright.PENANArnbmIkrE0U
"Yes," Ethan managed.146Please respect copyright.PENANAnJXoFKLDN8
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFhGqxrycOZ
"Good," Hanna said softly. "Tell me if that changes."146Please respect copyright.PENANARyoIIZHbih
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgjIDIHa8PR
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAgjmYvdbCVg
146Please respect copyright.PENANAiLLhQ3hKPl
"Can I touch you?" Hanna asked softly.146Please respect copyright.PENANA69ZNvfcgL6
146Please respect copyright.PENANAnOhLg6LUMB
"Yeah. Of course." Ethan didn't shift his focus from her breasts for a moment.146Please respect copyright.PENANA5rgtmVuMz5
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvg14BFOU4b
Hanna cocked her head to the side slightly. "You said earlier..."146Please respect copyright.PENANAnKgxH2r4dY
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7oeS1r0jeZ
"It's just very arousing." Ethan's skin was nearly radiating warmth now. "It was frustrating back there."146Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gcnvg5IMz
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUkU85ctcZr
Hanna ran a hand along his spine, noting the shiver that went through him. "So good now then?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAnkn8HwV637
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOEySL0x4SA
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAf8Npyng1Uh
146Please respect copyright.PENANABodYPuR72s
"It's nothing," Hanna answered dismissively as she stretched out her neck and adjusted her hair.146Please respect copyright.PENANAPybIvtW0rc
146Please respect copyright.PENANAi2CTCaR4ri
"Tell me," Ethan insisted.146Please respect copyright.PENANAbL6OqJB9xV
146Please respect copyright.PENANAboXyfoxAbK
"Just the burns," Hanna answered reluctantly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAb2jakczlCa
146Please respect copyright.PENANAo7WdPCzcBi
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANANyzG0nSfY7
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4xwkCPYZtL
"I'll avoid them," Ethan spoke softly, "but you need to tell me if anything hurts."146Please respect copyright.PENANAQuFs4OxhBz
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQzlepdg2NQ
Hanna nodded then kissed his chest.146Please respect copyright.PENANAFrAH5Agg2t
146Please respect copyright.PENANAuL13kNLz0C
"I'm serious," he emphasized, looking into her deep brown eyes.146Please respect copyright.PENANAorkdfhu4fE
146Please respect copyright.PENANAiOyVBjaPRQ
"I will," she promised.146Please respect copyright.PENANAmMXEnIu25X
146Please respect copyright.PENANAb2ZPh3LPxv
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA7lX3hLXAGX
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2CHSEHB6bX
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAsyMKKCilxd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKQvGHCrkms
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA8sRF7GWWak
146Please respect copyright.PENANApmYOMlLkvy
"I've got you," Ethan reassured her with a grin.146Please respect copyright.PENANAatNdm9w7TQ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAzy3zDirxB
"Uh." Hanna did not look very convinced, she glanced down at his ankle uncertainly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAWvh88t0QJv
146Please respect copyright.PENANACXfjwnP6CE
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAOiE08JEUW4
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgi53tnbYw4
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA5VkVwZFgkb
146Please respect copyright.PENANABrgcxIMTK4
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAclqxF3rTJp
146Please respect copyright.PENANA01drRyL1Dv
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAQHKuyVDoL4
146Please respect copyright.PENANAE0g7OSaYhg
"I want you to enjoy yourself," Ethan told her.146Please respect copyright.PENANADi2B9eo1w3
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdtRNjbE68C
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAi8UrWm8ApO
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkjIErK6ATH
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA6qz9LaoTZO
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bso0RD88b
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2MOQz2xlc
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWHduDPOy2K
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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAulVoTIj220
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOebMp0QgRw
"No objections," Hanna panted.146Please respect copyright.PENANAKVp1WuA1WF
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwfRWvYMBwp
"Good." Ethan smiled broadly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAutDTULLT2v
146Please respect copyright.PENANAU3PkU33NR8
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAlwAxSLAV85
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdteZuBZWJh
"I'm ready," Hanna said, breathing heavy. She lifted herself above him.146Please respect copyright.PENANA3MUGN8r9Ep
146Please respect copyright.PENANAzxtUqhoIFM
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANANcbU8HaXIK
146Please respect copyright.PENANAh1OmqmUxcl
She held as still as could, moaning softly at the new sensation.146Please respect copyright.PENANAz48dFap6Uq
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKrjQMNJARS
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAHM5dCtSLXG
146Please respect copyright.PENANAGAxDTUqUVI
"Please!" Hanna moaned.146Please respect copyright.PENANAhr9oOiWVyB
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVXEsvfFbkX
Ethan grinned. "Please what?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAbTMA5blSXu
146Please respect copyright.PENANAd4q4o6BpLe
"Please make love to me," Hanna whispered, looking down at him with lust-filled eyes.146Please respect copyright.PENANA2JNjcWWWtq
146Please respect copyright.PENANAh4ZFpUThtL
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAntS9ueWntA
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8iR80t1zw
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAvTrl3M9p8o
146Please respect copyright.PENANAaY6zMHVn0w
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAZFAW5n9zki
146Please respect copyright.PENANASnvlc8t9Oa
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAHcSdfKjcni
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXiw5qemt0y
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAvgfPAr5Yyk
146Please respect copyright.PENANAceh8R3f50P
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAKddbxq4B4m
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKpVJp7duiD
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAgiOVbEtFH3
146Please respect copyright.PENANAjTmfDF7SPH
"How is it?" Hanna asked breathlessly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAkgB3RXvoj1
146Please respect copyright.PENANAw7zMwxUGzY
"What do you mean?" Ethan asked, confused as he paused for a moment.146Please respect copyright.PENANABfyf4mcAnd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAIXQpGshOaP
Hanna bit her lower lip. "Is it enough?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAFVO2cuQ6xA
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfBvTh7Zngn
Ethan almost laughed at her but only grinned. "You're perfect. All of you." He squeezed both sides of her waist.146Please respect copyright.PENANA8dkIii5kyP
146Please respect copyright.PENANAe2wkPzypPd
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANABKwZE3835c
146Please respect copyright.PENANAewnKKodTDW
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAlRLRGMiuth
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdHfhIDx4Hl
"Let me take you there," Hanna said softly. She lowered her face to his and kissed him deeply.146Please respect copyright.PENANA85HpycvvE9
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFAHTo7Qt9E
His irritation vanished in an instant.146Please respect copyright.PENANARLlI4FkYhp
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOu9pAw4CNu
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAbAdRekU4kM
146Please respect copyright.PENANAeMu3Fc5tMs
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAyv7oEikiw5
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlg9TCZKgXu
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA2yfx8qp3tS
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWmKPa7zgzx
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAUm6Bst15YQ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAl6HsGCl5hs
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANARMQaIK4Hu1
146Please respect copyright.PENANAN1VS5u1EJV
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAGSsxNaMies
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVMuVij931x
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAgR5WFOyGHR
146Please respect copyright.PENANAk61ydLPEVw
"How are you doing?" Hanna asked softly, hoping he'd be able to talk.146Please respect copyright.PENANAxtkaJGEGCU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUb0Bezpx1d
"Need a minute," Ethan mumbled, still panting.146Please respect copyright.PENANAnFZaWCpPXE
146Please respect copyright.PENANAd6Tlwxwc9R
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7SCzicoKd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAB43a4Wb9Fz
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAjGYVDOclpK
146Please respect copyright.PENANAcYC3KPHF8O
She returned a few minutes later. "Can you walk?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAzs2ciK1vqh
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdjk0fZpCIP
"Yes, I think so." Ethan was only panting lightly now. "I don't feel as dizzy as last time."146Please respect copyright.PENANAEnxry8NV51
146Please respect copyright.PENANAuI6Sin94GQ
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA2LCFnOJJBI
146Please respect copyright.PENANAhOgcRlSbn9
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANApzvYnOgKeO
146Please respect copyright.PENANAeEgM6Df87C
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAwlKyC9SkPA
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5MKqx1GdYg
"How much blood did they take?" Hanna asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAEYY8WAvvr7
146Please respect copyright.PENANAK32MZo7NZk
"I saw a bag," Ethan answered uncertainly.146Please respect copyright.PENANADXXmWLhtyW
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2owcrxMIz3
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANALQxI61deFQ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAzfHWxv01fk
Ethan's face reddened with embarrassment. "I swear I don't usually faint in the middle." He started to drink.146Please respect copyright.PENANAXlp2Wbb0Zb
146Please respect copyright.PENANAClhm3vEDes
"Or you could just pretend I was so good you passed out," Hanna teased him mercilessly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAOlbXgtdClU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOP2G2tMiR3
Ethan let out a muffled coughed, trying his hardest not to laugh with a mouth full of water. He swallowed then coughed again.146Please respect copyright.PENANAX6sepWZwPq
146Please respect copyright.PENANApXYvQwV7Xr
Hanna frowned slightly. "Alright, no more jokes."146Please respect copyright.PENANAhTSnUdZNC6
146Please respect copyright.PENANALWjONMiNiZ
"I'm fine," Ethan replied before finishing off the bottle.146Please respect copyright.PENANAknw1o7Tl0x
146Please respect copyright.PENANANUYjijk0yl
Hanna grabbed the first aid kit and set it on the bed. "I want to check your ankle, okay?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAOt3aDrOqV2
146Please respect copyright.PENANABrwcVBOkzW
"Yeah." Ethan moved his leg up on to the bed.146Please respect copyright.PENANAFfdnmUIVUi
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUWxPCKeZur
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAxS6LZFZ6PI
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9QXOff4plM
"I'll need to clean this," Hanna concluded.146Please respect copyright.PENANAf50rb2tVGj
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlgEATjgMZu
"I already did that," Ethan grumbled.146Please respect copyright.PENANArdcVbW2NXE
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtgyjK6OMdC
"You didn't do a good enough job," Hanna responded. "I'll be right back." Ethan only nodded in response.146Please respect copyright.PENANAIN4vPBfn42
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQEpbJ6VAcX
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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAnou0dyAzeQ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHue7jEYK9t
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAcaJYhrl5dS
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWoDapcvjz8
"Do you want more?" Hanna asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANASshLd5dfok
146Please respect copyright.PENANANiAdSIhrYy
"No, just get it over with," Ethan said, readjusting his leg.146Please respect copyright.PENANADYrkdObqTi
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4WqzGxebVx
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAQncDaCt5hO
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgilgf0tbax
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA2kbvzEg6Wb
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7FALe7yikr
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAjTgXC2tzlY
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfioJ0zbtcu
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAqppaaZmFlt
146Please respect copyright.PENANAn63t89seUD
"My burns are gone," Hanna stated.146Please respect copyright.PENANA9uP0LpcceI
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q385LnXl5
"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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAtC3NRqNlpm
146Please respect copyright.PENANATQZAfpPSAy
Hanna eyed him curiously. "You tell me."146Please respect copyright.PENANAYj2N53RH68
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2pb8DJLS1
Ethan stared at the area in disbelief, brushing his fingers along her neck. Then he yawned. "Let me sleep on this."146Please respect copyright.PENANABOheZtS965
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfWcurFFntv
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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAa7UYgRSEAX
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1w6whvdT0g
"I'm not doing anything. I'm exhausted for a whole bunch of other reasons," Ethan explained. "Like having my blood stolen," he emphasized.146Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3qLzpfpXX
146Please respect copyright.PENANApfTqPhqgkB
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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANATJZnkSLHfm
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvN9uq83ijF
"I need to know you're okay," Ethan mumbled, half-asleep.146Please respect copyright.PENANAlQlw5ENHvc
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5vg5aZi4eS
Hanna smiled at his request. "I'm much better than okay."146Please respect copyright.PENANAsZaJzttri7
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEAEVk2saHd
She saw a slight smile grace his tired face.146Please respect copyright.PENANAr7rpPCc8ZL
146Please respect copyright.PENANAI4zBeY8apK
"If you're going to leave, you should do it before I wake up," Ethan mumbled, quieter than before.146Please respect copyright.PENANAg4sS8lwZVS
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWmnvQQROKc
Hanna had a puzzled look on her face. "I'm not going to leave."146Please respect copyright.PENANAmXB7F7YTYE
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1fVXe0yKM
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAQkjnkgFxVO
