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.57Please respect copyright.PENANATBw71vKdij
57Please respect copyright.PENANA2FuvRQSiHJ
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAYjYrmwTexA
57Please respect copyright.PENANA6TDT6c4BKD
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAK0u1DYARHT
57Please respect copyright.PENANAvF5tOLEget
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAZwCUta6LJu
57Please respect copyright.PENANAcEzpR04WuZ
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAAzJq1jdRqi
57Please respect copyright.PENANA787q2fKnPH
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA104ZRwXNSx
57Please respect copyright.PENANAsy8CAHVBdJ
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAGtiO8h1cbZ
57Please respect copyright.PENANAHootFX18X7
"We're here," Hanna said softly. "This is the address you gave me."57Please respect copyright.PENANA9zKI682UUi
57Please respect copyright.PENANAMNFwgxffr6
He blinked at her, then took in the surroundings, still looking a bit out of it. "Good," he mumbled.57Please respect copyright.PENANA7Cgsj3KhMf
57Please respect copyright.PENANA8XBYrMOihj
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANApWjOjWBLFD
57Please respect copyright.PENANAluhNLttHXf
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANANaCFelcS2y
57Please respect copyright.PENANAon2UPI5qMl
Hanna took his arm to steady him as she looked at him with concern. "Are you okay?"57Please respect copyright.PENANAQlHjlpLebO
57Please respect copyright.PENANAzWryJ8ym0I
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAsptvdcXXQX
57Please respect copyright.PENANAIv5GANdrEo
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAj0d7vYuzSZ
57Please respect copyright.PENANA4sKff5UsEm
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAqpw9S5o6sk
57Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wc4qHR4df
"Are you alright?" Hanna repeated.57Please respect copyright.PENANAmBTRYqGWQX
57Please respect copyright.PENANAWdq9ia6iRk
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA3DkTlVJm2L
57Please respect copyright.PENANAtzpckfepjd
"Alright, do you want help?" Hanna asked.57Please respect copyright.PENANALagu8aqKIX
57Please respect copyright.PENANA3yhNi81ojy
Ethan nodded reluctantly.57Please respect copyright.PENANA9u4VN9PFE3
57Please respect copyright.PENANA56gzYzHVla
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAxMXg6hmwse
57Please respect copyright.PENANARGMWg9DesR
Hanna gripped him tighter as he stumbled over a bump in the dirt, practically invisible under the moonlight. "We can go slower," she offered.57Please respect copyright.PENANAbwhqKFuUXu
57Please respect copyright.PENANAW3dOIA8MiV
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANATkgebyJVkT
57Please respect copyright.PENANAwAIKZovdwb
"Oh. Right." Hanna blushed. She hadn't realized his condition was due to the heat. "Inside, then we can do whatever you want."57Please respect copyright.PENANAPAJODQnbX5
57Please respect copyright.PENANAwizw2kbpwD
"Dangerous promise," Ethan mumbled faintly.57Please respect copyright.PENANAgllQLt6FCl
57Please respect copyright.PENANAI4GvUBqCRH
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA2lz0WqFASm
57Please respect copyright.PENANAdEdlbywuSl
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA9oLPbJpnuU
57Please respect copyright.PENANAb6ySxyBduU
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAaDhve8cyQi
57Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ5uAtu6YL
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAN21mS0jWvm
57Please respect copyright.PENANAUEqDPsXe7m
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANACOlWVCYPsx
57Please respect copyright.PENANAJGjJ25U7o7
"Should I wear a front-clasping bra next time so it's easier for you to take off?" Hanna joked.57Please respect copyright.PENANAyfZ0qFkO58
57Please respect copyright.PENANASknrjdrT4Y
Ethan made a sound that was suspiciously close to a growl. "I'm trying not to break it."57Please respect copyright.PENANAxeehNJGy7v
57Please respect copyright.PENANAePxFTvdjdY
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAIpPU8M0BTd
57Please respect copyright.PENANAwxfHu0bgE7
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAllYT1yaaFh
57Please respect copyright.PENANAdoZZDCmYKK
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."57Please respect copyright.PENANAZXypouO6kt
57Please respect copyright.PENANAfkvmJTQqdV
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAHKKwlhPBm7
57Please respect copyright.PENANAIgkn07pocF
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAk0cdpvOtjz
57Please respect copyright.PENANAqu8lBIRacp
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANASdY6Rgowlu
57Please respect copyright.PENANA44mPSwIf0R
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAcDj9zb5IpJ
57Please respect copyright.PENANAosAhEkzVZo
"Yes," Ethan managed.57Please respect copyright.PENANAQUt6NMFY3c
57Please respect copyright.PENANAneCCqsz59H
"Good," Hanna said softly. "Tell me if that changes."57Please respect copyright.PENANAIrwIU9HVwl
57Please respect copyright.PENANA3fyAT4Du33
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA886xYZrzXa
57Please respect copyright.PENANAEwivyUgTRn
"Can I touch you?" Hanna asked softly.57Please respect copyright.PENANA6hv78AcIYm
57Please respect copyright.PENANAUH4fIHDjTq
"Yeah. Of course." Ethan didn't shift his focus from her breasts for a moment.57Please respect copyright.PENANAHshdbv2vfs
57Please respect copyright.PENANAButUb1evTc
Hanna cocked her head to the side slightly. "You said earlier..."57Please respect copyright.PENANA5bvvNlNfy3
57Please respect copyright.PENANAZNs8gvK9q6
"It's just very arousing." Ethan's skin was nearly radiating warmth now. "It was frustrating back there."57Please respect copyright.PENANAS2hKMvyJg4
57Please respect copyright.PENANAsM2dXtIsdZ
Hanna ran a hand along his spine, noting the shiver that went through him. "So good now then?"57Please respect copyright.PENANAc27ZGiuFzD
57Please respect copyright.PENANAMKkL86qEX9
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAv2PPG4lO1a
57Please respect copyright.PENANApXRxQ8UuAQ
"It's nothing," Hanna answered dismissively as she stretched out her neck and adjusted her hair.57Please respect copyright.PENANA2432F8LINd
57Please respect copyright.PENANA69VLrI2nCb
"Tell me," Ethan insisted.57Please respect copyright.PENANAfPHnojk6kV
57Please respect copyright.PENANAe9XmQTAUzO
"Just the burns," Hanna answered reluctantly.57Please respect copyright.PENANAgaHXMeZt7F
57Please respect copyright.PENANAsKvRF41smt
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAbUyGHqnYRG
57Please respect copyright.PENANAyzTJqHGk47
"I'll avoid them," Ethan spoke softly, "but you need to tell me if anything hurts."57Please respect copyright.PENANAyfMAoAmFuB
57Please respect copyright.PENANAWsYBbWL1NU
Hanna nodded then kissed his chest.57Please respect copyright.PENANA8y23O8175m
57Please respect copyright.PENANArHTES3gyQm
"I'm serious," he emphasized, looking into her deep brown eyes.57Please respect copyright.PENANAHVA0530BQL
57Please respect copyright.PENANACYXWFyW0dM
"I will," she promised.57Please respect copyright.PENANAdMLxAlOhSV
57Please respect copyright.PENANArOrcHGCan5
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANApQUOSyEo7z
57Please respect copyright.PENANA1HaaDQZAzR
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAjj6zMPiwCc
57Please respect copyright.PENANAkNiusovEnb
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAuob18DSEh5
57Please respect copyright.PENANAPjiaCYiuA6
"I've got you," Ethan reassured her with a grin.57Please respect copyright.PENANAvQqLJGYo6W
57Please respect copyright.PENANA5552EsSge9
"Uh." Hanna did not look very convinced, she glanced down at his ankle uncertainly.57Please respect copyright.PENANAYv0zy9hfvv
57Please respect copyright.PENANAYE4zJET2Ke
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA7jX01wWjEN
57Please respect copyright.PENANAjnuwZd2fw8
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAChrCvr9yVk
57Please respect copyright.PENANAtMkGPx0W3N
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAEDOgpemL0s
57Please respect copyright.PENANAsgtXNOTggJ
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAgv7rvnsDrW
57Please respect copyright.PENANAtsms07Fd9d
"I want you to enjoy yourself," Ethan told her.57Please respect copyright.PENANAIbxRornWav
57Please respect copyright.PENANA21CVN4hQ4c
"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."57Please respect copyright.PENANAXNdKKAlxWD
57Please respect copyright.PENANAC1W9tp1FtC
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAIATWphyNUd
57Please respect copyright.PENANA3kQUZ7GdBP
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA2YChGfEwV2
57Please respect copyright.PENANANWCzYUaeQq
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."57Please respect copyright.PENANADZdjUL76JA
57Please respect copyright.PENANABy0EY6uRcj
"No objections," Hanna panted.57Please respect copyright.PENANApdy62JLQGO
57Please respect copyright.PENANA0lluVc6c5X
"Good." Ethan smiled broadly.57Please respect copyright.PENANAAnXa1WgWFk
57Please respect copyright.PENANAKmjJ7N9DjN
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAHZRUIkJ6ry
57Please respect copyright.PENANAji5Yh5sDLq
"I'm ready," Hanna said, breathing heavy. She lifted herself above him.57Please respect copyright.PENANAg8uykxzgh8
57Please respect copyright.PENANA07vZ6JV2zF
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAtVhq8VbiT1
57Please respect copyright.PENANA5lIr1RE9yR
She held as still as could, moaning softly at the new sensation.57Please respect copyright.PENANAhVruAq4O7p
57Please respect copyright.PENANAadMWSMOloD
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAmsn4SBE1G4
57Please respect copyright.PENANArLaj7QrDk4
"Please!" Hanna moaned.57Please respect copyright.PENANAkGneMgjOkV
57Please respect copyright.PENANATunTCqfvho
Ethan grinned. "Please what?"57Please respect copyright.PENANAwEXizZgLz9
57Please respect copyright.PENANAg4XhVr07qa
"Please make love to me," Hanna whispered, looking down at him with lust-filled eyes.57Please respect copyright.PENANAWLulaAXiqJ
57Please respect copyright.PENANAFEP8dArPss
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAYWTB99VJdo
57Please respect copyright.PENANAGIaVLUmHmA
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANALxDPCmswg3
57Please respect copyright.PENANAxT21eTh7mF
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAZLGcB45QyS
57Please respect copyright.PENANATnOWTgGQnu
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAFGlITjkew0
57Please respect copyright.PENANACKghrr8z4C
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANActP6BTx1zc
57Please respect copyright.PENANAbe5BWmL3X9
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA2hoWLEuQGe
57Please respect copyright.PENANA3J0A3MXa0f
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA6QQAz3C33p
57Please respect copyright.PENANARfYLVWSfWk
"How is it?" Hanna asked breathlessly.57Please respect copyright.PENANAp0ZUZXkGju
57Please respect copyright.PENANA9WtBRqMw0b
"What do you mean?" Ethan asked, confused as he paused for a moment.57Please respect copyright.PENANA8ciJ588bHB
57Please respect copyright.PENANAGCZfPCnO1G
Hanna bit her lower lip. "Is it enough?"57Please respect copyright.PENANAuW3WD4XZkg
57Please respect copyright.PENANAeibSHhzm1k
Ethan almost laughed at her but only grinned. "You're perfect. All of you." He squeezed both sides of her waist.57Please respect copyright.PENANApk9wC3DDiq
57Please respect copyright.PENANAvMACP4rIYV
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAHaoHag5Os5
57Please respect copyright.PENANA9m5qu2zijx
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANANrbBCn3Phv
57Please respect copyright.PENANAKU3x0sIIus
"Let me take you there," Hanna said softly. She lowered her face to his and kissed him deeply.57Please respect copyright.PENANAQYcURGZX5b
57Please respect copyright.PENANAKPZhPhzlSy
His irritation vanished in an instant.57Please respect copyright.PENANABEGpJEGuIf
57Please respect copyright.PENANAI29CuwpM0V
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAZL63VadcHB
57Please respect copyright.PENANAH1wXnlcddU
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAxgYFJws5Wv
57Please respect copyright.PENANAZkZjLodyYi
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAcMX5TIWQ9x
57Please respect copyright.PENANADhdHH6uwXc
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAQvG6NovrTC
57Please respect copyright.PENANAqXzWFobp6f
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAZse12XRXFu
57Please respect copyright.PENANAa8b9BsmfBl
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAKI3AnMukND
57Please respect copyright.PENANA0WZLXvYAas
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANARvCyGWe6Xr
57Please respect copyright.PENANAiQtpaTIiL0
"How are you doing?" Hanna asked softly, hoping he'd be able to talk.57Please respect copyright.PENANAObXBViMCmT
57Please respect copyright.PENANARZ1HIhIf3a
"Need a minute," Ethan mumbled, still panting.57Please respect copyright.PENANAuy2CWspCNn
57Please respect copyright.PENANAehZXMrPsxd
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAM7IWkfwsc5
57Please respect copyright.PENANAauewpIOXjd
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAdCyd6NvMwA
57Please respect copyright.PENANAtMIIEHAEDn
She returned a few minutes later. "Can you walk?"57Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pzeeqmhml
57Please respect copyright.PENANAk9y0wXFIOE
"Yes, I think so." Ethan was only panting lightly now. "I don't feel as dizzy as last time."57Please respect copyright.PENANAoVkon2B6FW
57Please respect copyright.PENANAgO6ySJ6oiq
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAhchFMjLQTv
57Please respect copyright.PENANA8XOuLBZIby
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA2BuBfKk3fz
57Please respect copyright.PENANALtcPASwpYu
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAzVLG4tfTtK
57Please respect copyright.PENANARYjzPjhhOZ
"How much blood did they take?" Hanna asked.57Please respect copyright.PENANA4wJfijWxbb
57Please respect copyright.PENANAtqyujKhdES
"I saw a bag," Ethan answered uncertainly.57Please respect copyright.PENANA0qgN2P8ycg
57Please respect copyright.PENANA8O5AWIQDnX
"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."57Please respect copyright.PENANAh1H9UeV4Xa
57Please respect copyright.PENANAJsZlCLxJnc
Ethan's face reddened with embarrassment. "I swear I don't usually faint in the middle." He started to drink.57Please respect copyright.PENANAMvZK3kix46
57Please respect copyright.PENANAmOPRDWnvDH
"Or you could just pretend I was so good you passed out," Hanna teased him mercilessly.57Please respect copyright.PENANARsBBx4JgWE
57Please respect copyright.PENANA618HOfqpme
Ethan let out a muffled coughed, trying his hardest not to laugh with a mouth full of water. He swallowed then coughed again.57Please respect copyright.PENANAnfPP6EdpS5
57Please respect copyright.PENANAsynOvWfYn2
Hanna frowned slightly. "Alright, no more jokes."57Please respect copyright.PENANA9xGRr6Aw9D
57Please respect copyright.PENANAn2GnJGgfkm
"I'm fine," Ethan replied before finishing off the bottle.57Please respect copyright.PENANAsb2s38mEZp
57Please respect copyright.PENANAismzSsV5kA
Hanna grabbed the first aid kit and set it on the bed. "I want to check your ankle, okay?"57Please respect copyright.PENANAaWTsTgbPDL
57Please respect copyright.PENANAfKOZ8y3yBD
"Yeah." Ethan moved his leg up on to the bed.57Please respect copyright.PENANALrIwv9vGvC
57Please respect copyright.PENANAagmkDGB6dy
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAlakWKSFVfa
57Please respect copyright.PENANALtMXhuSx0y
"I'll need to clean this," Hanna concluded.57Please respect copyright.PENANAqnUYBvG9dC
57Please respect copyright.PENANAfmEHSYl7J9
"I already did that," Ethan grumbled.57Please respect copyright.PENANA4GXFCrBCO6
57Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7Yu46ljrk
"You didn't do a good enough job," Hanna responded. "I'll be right back." Ethan only nodded in response.57Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZwNE6YRuY
57Please respect copyright.PENANAxkRcmTcUAh
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?"57Please respect copyright.PENANAM2LayU8niQ
57Please respect copyright.PENANALiMmTFJDyS
"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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0jPSYw9hN
57Please respect copyright.PENANANf8aVal1t5
"Do you want more?" Hanna asked.57Please respect copyright.PENANAEMJtWmKUMs
57Please respect copyright.PENANAn0hg3x1UvO
"No, just get it over with," Ethan said, readjusting his leg.57Please respect copyright.PENANAJAuoNTPZ6O
57Please respect copyright.PENANAGED94fkgiY
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANALVO3b6JJJk
57Please respect copyright.PENANACSFqVpQZUI
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAHoGbeYYwvE
57Please respect copyright.PENANAInOV2tP32G
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANArjV4arwGnC
57Please respect copyright.PENANAl593itouFs
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANALXzaUJLpg5
57Please respect copyright.PENANA3iUSDrvoSO
"My burns are gone," Hanna stated.57Please respect copyright.PENANAMYAnpk5AXf
57Please respect copyright.PENANAoub7Jt4NfO
"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?"57Please respect copyright.PENANACFosHCO9TF
57Please respect copyright.PENANAEBJDDXj3cZ
Hanna eyed him curiously. "You tell me."57Please respect copyright.PENANAlgXOMEVfeC
57Please respect copyright.PENANAMUmbwKKW14
Ethan stared at the area in disbelief, brushing his fingers along her neck. Then he yawned. "Let me sleep on this."57Please respect copyright.PENANAFUz6bf4r6J
57Please respect copyright.PENANAM3v90eVAlH
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."57Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ves9vNPG
57Please respect copyright.PENANAh5ybv5Wn2S
"I'm not doing anything. I'm exhausted for a whole bunch of other reasons," Ethan explained. "Like having my blood stolen," he emphasized.57Please respect copyright.PENANADsnsZIhykM
57Please respect copyright.PENANAojPyt9Lg8m
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?"57Please respect copyright.PENANANkNqbRQB7b
57Please respect copyright.PENANACGWeZW3Yoi
"I need to know you're okay," Ethan mumbled, half-asleep.57Please respect copyright.PENANAmDUgiAPKSQ
57Please respect copyright.PENANA9uhxBjtmui
Hanna smiled at his request. "I'm much better than okay."57Please respect copyright.PENANAJgkd05SKEg
57Please respect copyright.PENANAxdapxMGndk
She saw a slight smile grace his tired face.57Please respect copyright.PENANAtqcpJgamvX
57Please respect copyright.PENANAAdZcyM4hqp
"If you're going to leave, you should do it before I wake up," Ethan mumbled, quieter than before.57Please respect copyright.PENANA0kEKN4O1ag
57Please respect copyright.PENANASELamZLjM1
Hanna had a puzzled look on her face. "I'm not going to leave."57Please respect copyright.PENANA6btJXUGxva
57Please respect copyright.PENANAYEXepsYRqb
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAzzBgIZLxd1
