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.97Please respect copyright.PENANANkHWId5lCX
97Please respect copyright.PENANALTbfVs9SLf
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAXpDe1UgP4M
97Please respect copyright.PENANAmlaYnpUK4V
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzK9oEZJgEH
97Please respect copyright.PENANAcULDTSns8j
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAxOyevYTkRg
97Please respect copyright.PENANALtUe6F520j
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA4gdK1gHEQ2
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZPMrU8Y7DB
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAWKsPTQ9BeS
97Please respect copyright.PENANAn7dbBQ5Ldt
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANADIL6u00yfc
97Please respect copyright.PENANAEAlWYL31gK
"We're here," Hanna said softly. "This is the address you gave me."97Please respect copyright.PENANAlT7F87EXxq
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0TsQDVer5a
He blinked at her, then took in the surroundings, still looking a bit out of it. "Good," he mumbled.97Please respect copyright.PENANAaUEmvb3Fye
97Please respect copyright.PENANAXibXdxOyPz
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzSlV2lEA1H
97Please respect copyright.PENANAcg4W9CrDU2
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAsAngYlx0Fo
97Please respect copyright.PENANAz5Rkk2IwG1
Hanna took his arm to steady him as she looked at him with concern. "Are you okay?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAFR4wnRJ5U3
97Please respect copyright.PENANAkS3SoRRyGC
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAA6AkR95ACj
97Please respect copyright.PENANAiJSACG0802
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAd2gcwTJF06
97Please respect copyright.PENANAwnuuJqjW82
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANARR9iTc5uZA
97Please respect copyright.PENANAuyulPo7bpp
"Are you alright?" Hanna repeated.97Please respect copyright.PENANASB34FvYnnl
97Please respect copyright.PENANA1r9IwjFvaX
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANABwG8WA1KHb
97Please respect copyright.PENANA2EE8nvTzc5
"Alright, do you want help?" Hanna asked.97Please respect copyright.PENANAkWRLAEcK5r
97Please respect copyright.PENANAnqARHTIsWW
Ethan nodded reluctantly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAqsaOrdIk6d
97Please respect copyright.PENANAwEKDVyka6L
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAqEBPq5sXu8
97Please respect copyright.PENANATaNwcfjCT0
Hanna gripped him tighter as he stumbled over a bump in the dirt, practically invisible under the moonlight. "We can go slower," she offered.97Please respect copyright.PENANAn5wGDA97Tt
97Please respect copyright.PENANAe5kUPB10xt
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANADYK3S6odmq
97Please respect copyright.PENANAP2V6yGcB9s
"Oh. Right." Hanna blushed. She hadn't realized his condition was due to the heat. "Inside, then we can do whatever you want."97Please respect copyright.PENANAlThIYOn8c4
97Please respect copyright.PENANA1MfJKljR22
"Dangerous promise," Ethan mumbled faintly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6QbB1Bcdt
97Please respect copyright.PENANAqFA1DleF0B
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4KOTzyYmt
97Please respect copyright.PENANAXrg57woDoZ
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA8o8NDjueqW
97Please respect copyright.PENANAYb4dzWMj7k
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA9F69s4YQKP
97Please respect copyright.PENANA4GkvLNBzWK
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAf0VXc8KRea
97Please respect copyright.PENANAYd6vu27PZu
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAChiWCHwuJ0
97Please respect copyright.PENANATqdjkZCgrJ
"Should I wear a front-clasping bra next time so it's easier for you to take off?" Hanna joked.97Please respect copyright.PENANAOGGeDqN1yg
97Please respect copyright.PENANAnM5UsxBFpK
Ethan made a sound that was suspiciously close to a growl. "I'm trying not to break it."97Please respect copyright.PENANAVbzv9yBTv9
97Please respect copyright.PENANAyFA640vUzn
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAMw6AvKDRUG
97Please respect copyright.PENANA2tCGdtkFDJ
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzatAKPlCw2
97Please respect copyright.PENANAccXts4VPEB
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."97Please respect copyright.PENANAYKcKvLuKqq
97Please respect copyright.PENANAPPqsnVZF7l
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAjHGGX3ubk2
97Please respect copyright.PENANAHDUJYmGBZo
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA1hw63fC9DH
97Please respect copyright.PENANAVNibOQ3joM
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAlsTqJMK8Ja
97Please respect copyright.PENANAV0UlGUTSxo
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA2O4yrYk0VM
97Please respect copyright.PENANA2dLUYlJlEx
"Yes," Ethan managed.97Please respect copyright.PENANAz9UqOsPMh1
97Please respect copyright.PENANATLkevU0nUZ
"Good," Hanna said softly. "Tell me if that changes."97Please respect copyright.PENANA6cuaz3Ez1q
97Please respect copyright.PENANATzk9KYsC2b
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAvvf1R4lyVd
97Please respect copyright.PENANAgruVlPx7lI
"Can I touch you?" Hanna asked softly.97Please respect copyright.PENANA83XH4tpinB
97Please respect copyright.PENANAHHIXzjNgCB
"Yeah. Of course." Ethan didn't shift his focus from her breasts for a moment.97Please respect copyright.PENANA4VSminVl3X
97Please respect copyright.PENANAPt6O3oE2IG
Hanna cocked her head to the side slightly. "You said earlier..."97Please respect copyright.PENANAurgLct2Uza
97Please respect copyright.PENANAhZi4WoXrCm
"It's just very arousing." Ethan's skin was nearly radiating warmth now. "It was frustrating back there."97Please respect copyright.PENANASKD0lidSPZ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAaWI3BkwsrQ
Hanna ran a hand along his spine, noting the shiver that went through him. "So good now then?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAfsy7xZSmtn
97Please respect copyright.PENANAXKmMO89ZI1
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAKAv3Rf91DZ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAxKlIjMu65j
"It's nothing," Hanna answered dismissively as she stretched out her neck and adjusted her hair.97Please respect copyright.PENANAcJouSlm4l0
97Please respect copyright.PENANAKn9LZ347Q9
"Tell me," Ethan insisted.97Please respect copyright.PENANAK1Qf5BlRhI
97Please respect copyright.PENANAy3fEmpI1hN
"Just the burns," Hanna answered reluctantly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAKof2tEyjMb
97Please respect copyright.PENANAia7wSdgzHE
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA3KOlez2t6e
97Please respect copyright.PENANANNtlMHLIgy
"I'll avoid them," Ethan spoke softly, "but you need to tell me if anything hurts."97Please respect copyright.PENANAo0TtnBmEIa
97Please respect copyright.PENANAh9hTJTgUAL
Hanna nodded then kissed his chest.97Please respect copyright.PENANAZPr19uAjQf
97Please respect copyright.PENANAflkiNYJxWb
"I'm serious," he emphasized, looking into her deep brown eyes.97Please respect copyright.PENANAeFUMEV1WHT
97Please respect copyright.PENANATOgbrbOb0Y
"I will," she promised.97Please respect copyright.PENANAkqGJrfQmtT
97Please respect copyright.PENANAHiqVxKtiLF
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAyoZD9oyw0i
97Please respect copyright.PENANAon8Nr2OQbO
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANANf1yXTAqc9
97Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Y00WUsVh
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAnFz1iS1mQC
97Please respect copyright.PENANAi3KKTxAgyg
"I've got you," Ethan reassured her with a grin.97Please respect copyright.PENANA6yzSqNfnTQ
97Please respect copyright.PENANA53HmrtCRUD
"Uh." Hanna did not look very convinced, she glanced down at his ankle uncertainly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAlruk6ZoATL
97Please respect copyright.PENANAIKNu9pcwZv
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAKS65CtghmO
97Please respect copyright.PENANArW1dfTcylP
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANALle7Knpkpz
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZokphRU9qx
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAKHFsyZcJEX
97Please respect copyright.PENANAxs8kdoDpzB
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANACRwSGaWpIW
97Please respect copyright.PENANAybZz5olVPB
"I want you to enjoy yourself," Ethan told her.97Please respect copyright.PENANAQxl0Jr2Rst
97Please respect copyright.PENANABv4BE4Id1Y
"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."97Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZhqpQdB1z
97Please respect copyright.PENANAphI03EDrGn
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzrxqMxYmfS
97Please respect copyright.PENANAWUfQRC9JAw
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAWLhw5DpWUC
97Please respect copyright.PENANA3gCixAlQg2
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."97Please respect copyright.PENANAtiJnrr7wgT
97Please respect copyright.PENANAmaLGEXRgAu
"No objections," Hanna panted.97Please respect copyright.PENANAr8Nemnsdi5
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0VYBQMiWRi
"Good." Ethan smiled broadly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAvom0AxtjMB
97Please respect copyright.PENANAM8jprYP30W
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAI1awJYmCae
97Please respect copyright.PENANANlVDq2m6ZI
"I'm ready," Hanna said, breathing heavy. She lifted herself above him.97Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vm18kPcpN
97Please respect copyright.PENANAbMtpECDKOV
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA1TxYfpuRO1
97Please respect copyright.PENANAO729FpwJ3z
She held as still as could, moaning softly at the new sensation.97Please respect copyright.PENANAF3u7W6KFEC
97Please respect copyright.PENANAVIJYHff3Ym
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA6p8JC5juac
97Please respect copyright.PENANARxjwjoNPKd
"Please!" Hanna moaned.97Please respect copyright.PENANAm98wylEE0C
97Please respect copyright.PENANAMJZ5lqzE2b
Ethan grinned. "Please what?"97Please respect copyright.PENANANZvhS9i70g
97Please respect copyright.PENANAeoUF1l2lnT
"Please make love to me," Hanna whispered, looking down at him with lust-filled eyes.97Please respect copyright.PENANAeKfZBPs71W
97Please respect copyright.PENANA46i7D03eq9
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANArdUkzEmfWJ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZijFOWTjCN
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAo6eoQn1IbH
97Please respect copyright.PENANAA4PqXemdcx
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAVaobSSAXPP
97Please respect copyright.PENANA9SM3RSgrBE
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA293rGDPpkV
97Please respect copyright.PENANAW1mWXYU1OX
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAX42vZtunL5
97Please respect copyright.PENANAaOwnw3PvJc
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAgc8FkiJx0K
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0e3qM7LSZO
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAihi3CULAeH
97Please respect copyright.PENANAPRS8LEwYSn
"How is it?" Hanna asked breathlessly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAJGHa2t58g5
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0LD6wGxOX4
"What do you mean?" Ethan asked, confused as he paused for a moment.97Please respect copyright.PENANATsquEfXlGL
97Please respect copyright.PENANAVJVzraEfEI
Hanna bit her lower lip. "Is it enough?"97Please respect copyright.PENANATcWLphJF7p
97Please respect copyright.PENANA4D9xrR3PLi
Ethan almost laughed at her but only grinned. "You're perfect. All of you." He squeezed both sides of her waist.97Please respect copyright.PENANANLYBaFy77M
97Please respect copyright.PENANAuU1iugzaWL
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA16gXdPphL7
97Please respect copyright.PENANAaU0oAilD42
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAlkwq34VPWa
97Please respect copyright.PENANArUTI1pUWz7
"Let me take you there," Hanna said softly. She lowered her face to his and kissed him deeply.97Please respect copyright.PENANA36pNNmWnjI
97Please respect copyright.PENANAsFhT7s1RBu
His irritation vanished in an instant.97Please respect copyright.PENANA3niG5EaSQM
97Please respect copyright.PENANAmLvGFvAJwM
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANARUx6OVwF6P
97Please respect copyright.PENANAAjhhnHhDJG
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAGKss0fRt3s
97Please respect copyright.PENANAcZmjshuqwj
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dow5k5wNM
97Please respect copyright.PENANAiZDardn1Y2
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAmhvuLmrNvd
97Please respect copyright.PENANAadLVk5TCm0
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANApo0BIimojJ
97Please respect copyright.PENANA02MRJ2ZJz7
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAnpJwV8NJ4E
97Please respect copyright.PENANAz56AAGQr37
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAXLZblY1USd
97Please respect copyright.PENANAO8PnDiTwcL
"How are you doing?" Hanna asked softly, hoping he'd be able to talk.97Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tbsd4PjaS
97Please respect copyright.PENANA6aHboy3Igj
"Need a minute," Ethan mumbled, still panting.97Please respect copyright.PENANA20G12vBW4r
97Please respect copyright.PENANAt06gzF537I
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA1GzlQTXtmY
97Please respect copyright.PENANAeuU7diO5Hy
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAmCSVvAkiIU
97Please respect copyright.PENANAOw14Cg4Fm8
She returned a few minutes later. "Can you walk?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAIW9QFk63Re
97Please respect copyright.PENANAUMiIMdNMX5
"Yes, I think so." Ethan was only panting lightly now. "I don't feel as dizzy as last time."97Please respect copyright.PENANAo1pRqNuFJF
97Please respect copyright.PENANAlBCUkzgEal
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA6tpeY3gpBV
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4JPBKbq0g
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAXdM9mrfJoN
97Please respect copyright.PENANAlVYMOI4hFB
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzB1tZqB6ll
97Please respect copyright.PENANAQIcPsOFK72
"How much blood did they take?" Hanna asked.97Please respect copyright.PENANAkDCTjII8f8
97Please respect copyright.PENANADlM2XwhJ7A
"I saw a bag," Ethan answered uncertainly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAgZcMr0Ob3z
97Please respect copyright.PENANAsV5MpLt0pH
"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."97Please respect copyright.PENANAtrbd08OeRV
97Please respect copyright.PENANA5P0vfLu6NN
Ethan's face reddened with embarrassment. "I swear I don't usually faint in the middle." He started to drink.97Please respect copyright.PENANAa4sXcxd5nC
97Please respect copyright.PENANA52VSLRpK4J
"Or you could just pretend I was so good you passed out," Hanna teased him mercilessly.97Please respect copyright.PENANAker7YVaBzb
97Please respect copyright.PENANAoj7AFZCoS6
Ethan let out a muffled coughed, trying his hardest not to laugh with a mouth full of water. He swallowed then coughed again.97Please respect copyright.PENANADIonI1ywfd
97Please respect copyright.PENANAqMrScfvdiu
Hanna frowned slightly. "Alright, no more jokes."97Please respect copyright.PENANAKMZnp5e517
97Please respect copyright.PENANAJPDioZQKK9
"I'm fine," Ethan replied before finishing off the bottle.97Please respect copyright.PENANAX7n86R2h1O
97Please respect copyright.PENANA8jlLmLQdzE
Hanna grabbed the first aid kit and set it on the bed. "I want to check your ankle, okay?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAaygMVJ73ca
97Please respect copyright.PENANA1hdtjYwD2v
"Yeah." Ethan moved his leg up on to the bed.97Please respect copyright.PENANAbV0L26101E
97Please respect copyright.PENANACojcX9mQuz
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA1ah2BczZJ6
97Please respect copyright.PENANAic1zPbpSPB
"I'll need to clean this," Hanna concluded.97Please respect copyright.PENANA9NmIWLNI54
97Please respect copyright.PENANAwaNmcLXuLG
"I already did that," Ethan grumbled.97Please respect copyright.PENANA5PXQTj4YrY
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZF22G6cWNc
"You didn't do a good enough job," Hanna responded. "I'll be right back." Ethan only nodded in response.97Please respect copyright.PENANAKfGIzYIWJQ
97Please respect copyright.PENANA62bnllt0Be
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?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAWE1le5IPGq
97Please respect copyright.PENANAVfCosfD96n
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANACYv5Ba9yt6
97Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rcedud41f
"Do you want more?" Hanna asked.97Please respect copyright.PENANAwDMNZTZdCi
97Please respect copyright.PENANAkkDpoBtEsK
"No, just get it over with," Ethan said, readjusting his leg.97Please respect copyright.PENANAFvBBwt1vDV
97Please respect copyright.PENANABKvIlzC1rN
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA9rBWTfY5TK
97Please respect copyright.PENANAXvZavSQovn
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAxwKx8MBbFE
97Please respect copyright.PENANAv8lLWEkCNE
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANATgQIZoSPrJ
97Please respect copyright.PENANA6aubBS31qr
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAm2t3ce6Vuu
97Please respect copyright.PENANAblvgMGyI40
"My burns are gone," Hanna stated.97Please respect copyright.PENANAStvb2RAYWV
97Please respect copyright.PENANA6e8Z7hiP01
"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?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAQkpI0pxf1a
97Please respect copyright.PENANAY9uaM5uhGM
Hanna eyed him curiously. "You tell me."97Please respect copyright.PENANAYcwLLbISWJ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAVjKmo3pjlo
Ethan stared at the area in disbelief, brushing his fingers along her neck. Then he yawned. "Let me sleep on this."97Please respect copyright.PENANA6pcdyuYnyq
97Please respect copyright.PENANAFdFi006GO3
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."97Please respect copyright.PENANALVLO3Xu61m
97Please respect copyright.PENANAjQq34GlgX2
"I'm not doing anything. I'm exhausted for a whole bunch of other reasons," Ethan explained. "Like having my blood stolen," he emphasized.97Please respect copyright.PENANAkta5342ykp
97Please respect copyright.PENANAPoAphr0L7i
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?"97Please respect copyright.PENANArDuP6955kl
97Please respect copyright.PENANAWfPcT251tl
"I need to know you're okay," Ethan mumbled, half-asleep.97Please respect copyright.PENANAvDKjs6f5Aj
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0NUqA9Y7Gj
Hanna smiled at his request. "I'm much better than okay."97Please respect copyright.PENANAs14uRINbdv
97Please respect copyright.PENANATUbJ0tLrvY
She saw a slight smile grace his tired face.97Please respect copyright.PENANAQRtfeBqRU5
97Please respect copyright.PENANAhBcLn57CZ3
"If you're going to leave, you should do it before I wake up," Ethan mumbled, quieter than before.97Please respect copyright.PENANAh4etBGXDCt
97Please respect copyright.PENANAsv6t14ddvq
Hanna had a puzzled look on her face. "I'm not going to leave."97Please respect copyright.PENANATA7uoJTsUE
97Please respect copyright.PENANAhtN3tQ27BB
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAFiWHwoEdM4
